[Background technology]

[0002] Many age-related diseases are based on or associated with the extracellular or intracellular deposition of amyloid or amyloid-like proteins, which contribute to the pathogenesis and progression of the disease. The best-characterized amyloid protein that forms extracellular aggregates is amyloid beta (Abeta or Aβ).

[0003] Amyloid-like proteins that primarily form intracellular aggregates include, but are not limited to, tau, alpha-synuclein, and huntingtin (HTT). Diseases associated with alpha-synuclein aggregates are generally listed as synucleinopathies (or α-synucleinopathies), including, but not limited to, Parkinson's disease (PD). Synucleinopathies involving primarily neuronal aggregates include, but are not limited to, Parkinson's disease (sporadic, familial with SNCA (the gene encoding the alpha-synuclein protein) mutations or SNCA gene duplication or triplication, familial with mutations in other genes other than SNCA, pure autonomic failure, and Lewy body dysphagia), SNCA duplication carriers, dementia with Lewy bodies (LBD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) ("pure" Lewy body dementia), Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD), diffuse Lewy body disease (DLBD), Alzheimer's disease, sporadic Alzheimer's disease, familial Alzheimer's disease with APP mutations, familial Alzheimer's disease with PS-1, PS-2, or other mutations, familial British dementia, Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease, and normal aging in Down's syndrome. Synucleinopathies involving neuronal and glial aggregates of alpha-synuclein include, but are not limited to, multiple system atrophy (MSA) (Shy-Drager syndrome, striatonigral degeneration, and olivopontocerebellar atrophy). Other diseases that may have alpha-synuclein-immunoreactive lesions include traumatic brain injury, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, dementia pugilistica, tauopathies (Pick's disease, frontotemporal dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration and Niemann-Pick disease type C1, frontotemporal dementia with chromosome 17-linked parkinsonism), motor neuron diseases, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (sporadic, familial and Guam ALS-dementia complex), neuroaxonal dystrophies, neurodegeneration type 1 with cerebral iron accumulation (Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome), prion diseases, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, Meige syndrome, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease, inclusion body myositis, Gaucher disease, Krabbe disease,and other lysosomal storage disorders (including Kufor-Rakev syndrome and Sanfilippo syndrome) and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder, but are not limited to these disorders (Jellinger, Mov Disord 2003, 18 Suppl. 6, S2-12; Galvin et al. JAMA Neurology 2001, 58 (2), pp. 186-190; Kovari et al., Acta Neuropathol. 2007, 114 (3), pp. 295-8; Saito et al., J Neuropathol Exp Neurol. 2004, 63 (4), pp. 323-328; McKee et al., Brain 2013, 136 (Pt 1), pp. 43-64; Puschmann et al., Parkinsonism Relat Disord 2012, 18S1, S24-S27; Usenovic et al., J Neurosci. 2012, 32(12), pp. 4240-4246; Winder-Rhodes et al., Mov Disord. 2012, 27(2), pp. 312-315; Ferman et al., J Int Neuropsychol Soc. 2002, 8(7), pp. 907-914; Smith et al., J Pathol. 2014; pp. 232:509-521; Lippa et al., Ann Neurol. 1999 March; 45(3):353-7; Schmitz et al., Mol Neurobiol. 2018 August 22; Charles et al., Neurosci Lett. 2000 July 28; pp. 289(1):29-32; Wilhelmsen et al., Arch Neurol. 2004 March;61(3):398-406; Yamaguchi et al., J Neuropathol Exp Neurol. 2004, 80th Annual Meeting, Vol. 63; Askanas et al., J Neuropathol Exp Neurol. 2000 July;59(7):592-8).

[0004] Alpha-synuclein is a naturally unfolded protein of 140 amino acids (Iwai et al., Biochemistry 1995, 34(32), pp. 10139-10145). The alpha-synuclein sequence can be divided into three major domains: 1) the N-terminal region encompassing residues 1-60, which contains an 11-mer amphipathic imperfect repeat with a highly conserved hexamer (KTKEGV). This region has been implicated in regulating alpha-synuclein binding to membranes and its internalization; 2) the hydrophobic non-amyloid beta component (NAC) domain spanning residues 61-95, which is essential for alpha-synuclein fibrillization; and 3) the C-terminal region spanning residues 96-140, which is highly acidic and proline-rich and lacks unique structural trends. Alpha-synuclein has been shown to undergo several post-translational modifications, including truncation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, oxidation, and / or transglutaminase covalent cross-linking (Fujiwara et al., Nat Cell Biol 2002, 4(2); 160-164; Hasegawa et al., J Biol Chem 2002, 277(50), 49071-49076; Li et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2005, 102(6), 2162-2167; Oueslati et al., Prog Brain Res 2010, 183, 115-145; Schmid et al., J Biol Chem 2009, 284(19), 13128-13142). Interestingly, the majority of these modifications involve residues within the C-terminal region.

[0005] Several phosphorylation sites have been detected in the carboxyl-terminal region at Tyr-125, -133, and -136, as well as at Ser-129 (Negro et al., FASEB J 2002, 16(2), pp. 210-212). The Tyr-125 residue can be phosphorylated by two Src family protein tyrosine kinases, c-Src and Fyn (Ellis et al., J Biol Chem 2001, 276(6), pp. 3879-3884; Nakamura et al., Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2001, 280(4), pp. 1085-1092). Phosphorylation by Src family kinases does not inhibit or enhance the tendency of alpha-synuclein to polymerize. Alpha-synuclein is phosphorylated in vitro by the protein tyrosine kinase p72. sykAlpha-synuclein has been shown to be an excellent substrate for alpha-synuclein (Syk), and upon extensive Tyr-phosphorylation by Syk or tyrosine kinases with similar specificity, it loses its ability to form oligomers, suggesting a putative role for these tyrosine kinases in preventing neurodegeneration (Negro et al., FASEB J 2002, 16(2), pp. 210-212). Alpha-synuclein can be Ser-phosphorylated by the protein kinases CKI and CKII (Okochi et al., J Biol Chem 2000, 275(1), pp. 390-397). Residue Ser-129 is also phosphorylated by G-protein-coupled receptor protein kinases (Pronin et al., J Biol Chem 2000, 275(34), pp. 26515-26522). Extensive and selective phosphorylation of alpha-synuclein at Ser-129 is evident in synucleinopathy lesions, including Lewy bodies (Fujiwara et al., Nat Cell Biol 2002, 4(2); pp. 160-164). Other post-translational modifications at the carboxyl terminus, including glycosylation at Ser-129 (McLean et al., Neurosci Lett 2002, 323(3), pp. 219-223) and nitration at Tyr-125, -133, and -136 (Takahashi et al., Brain Res 2002, 938(1-2), pp. 73-80), may influence alpha-synuclein aggregation. Proteolytic truncation of the carboxyl-terminal region has been reported to play a role in alpha-synuclein fibril formation in various neurodegenerative diseases (Rochet et al., Biochemistry 2000, 39(35), 10619-10626). Full-length and partially truncated insoluble aggregates of alpha-synuclein have been detected in highly purified Lewy bodies (Crowther et al., FEBS Lett 1998, 436(3), 309-312).

[0006] Abnormal protein aggregation appears to be a common feature of the aging brain and several neurodegenerative diseases (Trojanowski et al., 1998, Cell Death Differ. 1998, 5(10), pp. 832-837; Koo et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci. 1999, 96(18), pp. 9989-9990; Hu et al., Chin. Sci. Bull. 2001, 46, pp. 1-3); however, its precise role in the disease process remains unknown. In in vitro models, alpha-synuclein (or some of its truncated forms) readily assembles into filaments similar to those isolated from the brains of patients with Lewy body (LB) dementia and familial PD (Crowther et al., FEBS Lett. 1998, 436(3), pp. 309-312). Alpha-synuclein and its mutant forms (A53T and A30P) have a random coil conformation and do not form significant secondary structures at low concentrations in aqueous solution. However, at high concentrations, they tend to self-aggregate, forming amyloid fibrils (Wood et al., J Biol Chem 1999, 274(28), 19509-19512). Some differences in the aggregation behavior of mutant and wild-type proteins associated with PD have been documented. Monomeric alpha-synuclein aggregates form stable fibrils in vitro via a metastable oligomeric (i.e., prefibrillar) state (Volles et al., Biochemistry 2002, 41(14), 4595-4602).

[0007] Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative movement disorder. While PD is primarily idiopathic, in at least 5% of PD patients, pathology is associated with mutations in one or several specific genes. Several point mutations have been described in the alpha-synuclein gene (A30P, E46K, H50Q, G51D, A53T) that cause familial PD with autosomal dominant inheritance. Furthermore, duplications and triplications of the alpha-synuclein gene have been described in patients with PD, highlighting the role of alpha-synuclein in PD pathogenesis (Lesage et al., Hum. Mol. Genet., 2009, 18, R48-59). The etiology of PD remains unclear. However, increasing evidence suggests a role for pathogenic misfolding of the alpha-synuclein protein, which leads to the formation of amyloid-like fibrils. Indeed, PD is characterized by the presence of intracellular alpha-synuclein aggregate structures called Lewy bodies and neurites, primarily in substantia nigra neurons, and the death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra and elsewhere. Alpha-synuclein is a naturally unfolded presynaptic protein that can misfold and aggregate into large oligomeric and fibrillar forms, which have been linked to the pathogenesis of PD. Recent studies have implicated small soluble oligomeric and prefibrillar forms of alpha-synuclein as the most neurotoxic species (Lashuel et al., J. Mol. Biol., 2002, 322, 1089-102). However, the precise role of alpha-synuclein in neuronal toxicity remains unclear (reviewed in Cookson, Annu. Rev. Biochem., 2005, 74, 29-52).

[0008] In addition to Parkinson's disease, the accumulation of aggregated alpha-synuclein into Lewy bodies is a characteristic of all Lewy body diseases, including Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (Capouch et al., Neurol Ther. 2018, 7, 249–263). In DLB, Lewy bodies are widely distributed throughout the brain cortex, and in addition to Lewy bodies and neurites, many thread-like and punctate structures (Lewy puncta) have been found to be immunopositive for alpha-syn, phosphorylated at Ser-129 (Outeiro et al., Mol Neurodegener. 2019, 14, 5). Alpha-synuclein aggregates are also found in multiple system atrophy (MSA), a rare, sporadic neurodegenerative disorder manifested by rapidly progressive autonomic and motor dysfunction and heterogeneous cognitive decline. Such disorders include Shy-Drager syndrome, striatonigral degeneration, and olivopontocerebellar atrophy. The disease can be clinically subclassified into parkinsonian (MSA-P) or cerebellar (MSA-C) variants depending on the predominant motor phenotype (Fanciulli et al., N Engl J Med 2015;372, 249-63). It is characterized by aggregation of alpha-synuclein in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes, forming glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs). GCIs, primarily composed of fibrillar forms of alpha-synuclein, are the neuropathological hallmark of MSA and are found throughout the neocortex, hippocampus, brainstem, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia (Galvin et al., Arch Neurol. 2001;58, 186-90). GCIs are thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of MSA. A correlation between GCI amount and the degree of neuronal loss has been reported in both the striatonigral and olivopontocerebellar regions (Stefanova et al., Neuropathol Appl Neurobiol. 2016, 42, pp. 20-32). Furthermore, a causal link between GCI and the induction of neuronal loss has been shown in transgenic mice overexpressing human alpha-synuclein in oligodendrocytes under various oligodendrocyte-specific promoters.A key event in the pathophysiological cascade is thought to be permissive templating ('prion-like' propagation) of misfolded alpha-synuclein.

[0009] The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is largely clinical and depends on the presence of a specific set of symptoms and signs (early core features include bradykinesia, rigidity, resting tremor, and postural instability), the absence of irregular features, a slowly evolving course, and response to symptomatic drug treatment, which is primarily limited to dopamine replacement therapy. Accurate diagnosis requires sophisticated clinical techniques and is subject to a degree of subjectivity and error, as several other degenerative and non-degenerative diseases can mimic PD symptoms (multiple system atrophy (MSA), progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), AD, essential tremor, and dystonic tremor) (Guideline No. 113: Diagnosis and pharmacological management of Parkinson's disease, January 2010, SIGN). Definitive confirmation of the lesion can only be achieved by postmortem neuropathological analysis.

[0010] Computed tomography (CT) and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of people with PD usually appear normal. These techniques are nevertheless useful in ruling out other conditions that may be secondary causes of parkinsonism, such as basal ganglia tumors, vascular lesions, and hydrocephalus. A specific technique of MRI, diffusion MRI, has been reported to be useful in distinguishing between typical and atypical parkinsonism, although its exact diagnostic value is still under investigation. Dopaminergic function in the basal ganglia can be measured using different PET and SPECT radiotracers. Examples include isoflurane ( 123 I) (trade name DaTSCAN) and iometopan (Dopascan), or fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F)( 18 F-FDG) and dihydrotetrabenazine ( 11 C)( 11The pattern of decreased dopaminergic activity in the basal ganglia can aid in the diagnosis of PD, especially during the symptomatic stage (Brooks, J. Nucl. Med., 2010, 51, 596-609; Redmond, Neuroscientist, 2002, 8, 457-88; Wood, Nat. Rev. Neurol., 2014, 10, 305).

[0011] Strategies are being developed to apply recent advances in understanding the underlying causes of Parkinson's disease to the development of biochemical biomarkers (Schapira Curr Opin Neurol 2013;26(4):395-400). Such biomarkers, investigated in different body fluids (cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), plasma, saliva), include not only alpha-synuclein levels but also DJ-1, tau, and Abeta, as well as neurofilament proteins, interleukins, osteopontin, and hypocretin (Schapira Curr Opin Neurol 2013;26(4):395-400). However, to date, none of these biomarkers, alone or in combination, can be used as definitive diagnostic tests. To the authors' knowledge, no approved alpha-synuclein diagnostics are currently on the market or available for clinical trials, despite the critical need for Parkinson's disease research and drug development (Eberling et al., J Parkinsons Dis. 2013;3(4):565-7).

[0012] The ability to image alpha-synuclein deposits in the brain would be a major advancement for alpha-synucleopathies research, including Parkinson's disease research, diagnosis, and drug development. The accumulation of aggregated alpha-synuclein in the brain is considered a key pathological hallmark of PD and can begin years before the onset of symptoms. Therefore, alpha-synuclein is a priority target for drug development, not only considering its possible contribution to neurodegeneration but also offering the potential to treat disease that is still asymptomatic or presymptomatic. In vivo imaging of alpha-synuclein pathology could be useful as a biomarker (i) to potentially detect the presence of disease early, (ii) to assess disease progression, and (iii) as a pharmacodynamic tool for drug development. The development of alpha-synuclein PET imaging agents is now considered crucial for the accurate diagnosis of synucleinopathies and for supporting the clinical development of alpha-synuclein-targeting therapeutics, starting with the ideal selection of a study population (Eberling, Dave, and Frasier, J. Parkinson's Disease, 3, 565-567 (2013)). Despite numerous attempts to identify alpha-synuclein PET ligands, only compounds that bind to artificial alpha-synuclein fibrils with reasonably high affinity have been identified to date, but none of these have been validated in human clinical trials.These are not ideal for several reasons: low affinity or no binding has been observed to pathological aggregates of alpha-synuclein present in diseased brains, there is little or no reported selectivity for alpha-synuclein over other aggregated proteins, and the physicochemical properties are inadequate for use as brain-penetrating PET agents (Eberling et al., J Parkinson's Dis. 2013;3(4):565-7; Neal et al., Mol Imaging Biol. 2013;15:585-595; Bagchi et al., PLoS One 2013;8(2):e55031; Yu et al., Bioorganic and Medicinal Chemistry 2012;20:4625-4634; Zhang et al., Appl Sci (Basel) 2014;4(1):66-78; Chu et al., J Med Chem, 2015, 58(15):6002-17).

[0013] Therefore, there is a clear need to find molecular probes with high alpha-synuclein selectivity that recognize and bind to pathological alpha-synuclein. To suppress background signal interference arising from nonspecific off-target binding and to ease administration requirements, alpha-synuclein imaging compounds should bind to their targets with high affinity and selectivity. To image alpha-synuclein aggregates associated with neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, imaging compounds must penetrate the blood-brain barrier and pass into the relevant areas of the brain. To target intracellular amyloid-like inclusions, such as alpha-synuclein, cell permeability is a further requirement for imaging compounds. To avoid unnecessary accumulation of the compound, which may increase the risk of undesirable side effects, a further prerequisite is rapid efflux of the compound from the brain (or other target organs).

[0014] WO2011 / 128455 refers to certain compounds suitable for treating disorders associated with amyloid or amyloid-like proteins. U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2012 / 0302755 relates to certain imaging agents for detecting neurological dysfunction. Further compounds for diagnosing neurodegenerative disorders in the olfactory epithelium are discussed in WO2012 / 037928.

[0015] WO2010 / 063701 refers to an in vivo imaging agent for use in a method for determining the presence of or susceptibility to Parkinson's disease, the in vivo imaging agent comprising an alpha-synuclein binding agent labelled with an in vivo imaging moiety, the in vivo imaging agent binding to alpha-synuclein with binding affinity.

[0016] US2014 / 0142089 relates to a method for preventing or treating a degenerative brain disease, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a specific compound, its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, isomers, solvates, hydrates, and combinations thereof.

[0017] WO2009 / 155017 describes aryl or heteroaryl substituted azabenzoxazole derivatives, which are said to be useful as tracers in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging to study amyloid deposition in the brain in vivo and enable the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

[0018] WO2016 / 033445 refers to certain compounds for imaging huntingtin protein.

[0019] WO2017 / 153601 and WO2019 / 234243 refer to bicyclic compounds for diagnosing a-synuclein aggregates.

[0020] It has been surprisingly found that a new class of compounds of Formula (I) or subformulas thereof (e.g., (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IIIc), (III-F), (III-H)), or detectably labeled compounds, stereoisomers, racemic mixtures, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates, or solvates thereof, are capable of binding to alpha-synuclein. Thus, when the compounds of the invention are radiolabeled with a suitable radioisotope, the compounds qualify as PET tracers for imaging pathological a-syn aggregates in PD and other alpha-synucleinopathies.

In particular, the compounds should be suitable for determining a predisposition to such diseases, disorders, or disorders, for monitoring the progression of the disease, disorder, or disorder, or for predicting the responsiveness of a patient suffering from such a disease, disorder, or disorder to treatment with a certain pharmaceutical agent.

[0024] Furthermore, there is a clinical need for compounds that can be used as imaging agents for alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide compounds suitable for diagnostic compositions for positron emission tomography imaging of alpha-synucleinopathies, e.g., compounds comprising: 18 Detectably labeled with F or other labeled moiety.

[0139] Alpha-synuclein aggregates are multimeric beta-sheet-rich aggregates of alpha-synuclein monomers that can form soluble oligomers or soluble / insoluble prefibrils or mature fibrils, associated with intracellular deposits detected as various Lewy pathologies in Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. Alpha-synuclein aggregates constituting Lewy pathologies can be detected as having the following morphologies: Lewy bodies, Lewy neurites, immature Lewy bodies or pale bodies, and perikarya deposits with diffuse, granular, punctate, or polymorphic patterns. Furthermore, alpha-synuclein aggregates are the major component of intracellular fibrillar inclusions (also called glial cytoplasmic inclusions) detected in oligodendrocytes, as well as intracellular fibrillar inclusions (called neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions) in neuronal cell bodies, axons, and nuclei, which are histological hallmarks of multiple system atrophy. Alpha-synuclein aggregates in Lewy pathology often display a substantial increase in post-translational modifications, such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, nitration and truncation.

[0140] Lewy bodies are abnormal aggregates of proteins that develop inside nerve cells in Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies, and other synucleinopathies. Lewy bodies appear as spherical masses that replace other cellular components. Morphologically, Lewy bodies can be classified as brainstem or cortical. Typical brainstem Lewy bodies are eosinophilic cytoplasmic inclusions consisting of a dense core surrounded by a halo of 5-10 nm-wide radial fibers, the main structural component of which is alpha-synuclein. Cortical Lewy bodies differ in the absence of the halo. The presence of Lewy bodies is a hallmark of Parkinson's disease.

[0141] Lewy neurites are abnormal neuronal processes in pathological neurons that contain granules, abnormal alpha-synuclein (a-syn) filaments similar to those found in Lewy bodies, punctate varicose structures, and axonal spheroids. Like Lewy bodies, Lewy neurites are characteristic of α-synucleinopathies, such as dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease, and multiple system atrophy.

[0142] The terms "disease," "disorder," or "condition" are used interchangeably herein.

[0143] A compound of formula (I), or a detectably labeled compound thereof, stereoisomer, racemic mixture, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, may bind to alpha-synuclein aggregates. The type of bond between a compound of formula (I), or a detectably labeled compound thereof, stereoisomer, racemic mixture, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof, is not defined, and any type of bond is covered by the present invention. The terms "compound that binds to alpha-synuclein aggregates," "compound / (alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites) complex," "compound / alpha-synuclein aggregate complex," "compound / protein aggregate complex," and the like are used interchangeably herein and are not intended to be limited to any particular type of bond.

[0315] The step of binding a compound to alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites, includes allowing a sufficient amount of time for the compound of the present invention to bind to alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites. The amount of time required for binding depends on the type of test (e.g., in vitro or in vivo) and can be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art through routine experimentation. For in vivo methods, the amount of time depends on the time required for the compound to reach a particular body part or region suspected of containing alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites. The amount of time should not be excessively extended to avoid washout and / or metabolism of the compound of the present invention.

[0316] Methods for detecting compounds that bind to alpha-synuclein aggregates, including but not limited to Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites, are not particularly limited and depend on, among other things, the detectable label, the type of sample, the specific body part or region, and whether the method is an in vitro or in vivo method. Possible detection methods include, but are not limited to, fluorescent or nuclear imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Fluorescent and / or nuclear imaging techniques can be used to monitor and / or visualize the distribution of the compounds of the present invention in a sample or body. The imaging system is adapted to obtain images of the bound detectable label, such as a radioisotope, particularly a positron emitter or gamma emitter, present in the tested sample, the specific body part or region being tested. Preferably, compounds that bind to alpha-synuclein aggregates, including but not limited to Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites, are detected by an imaging device, such as a PET or SPECT scanner.

[0318] In any of the above methods, steps (a) to (c), and, if present, optional step (d), may be repeated at least once. Repetition of the steps is particularly useful for methods of collecting data for determining prognosis, for monitoring disease progression, for monitoring progression, and for predicting responsiveness. In these methods, it may be advisable to monitor the patient over time and repeat the above steps after a certain period of time has passed. The time interval before the above-mentioned steps are repeated may be determined by a physician depending on the severity of the disease, disorder, or abnormality associated with alpha-synuclein aggregates, including, but not limited to, Lewy bodies and / or Lewy neurites, or synucleinopathy.

[0334] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are well known in the pharmaceutical industry and are described, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th ed., Mack Publishing Co., New Jersey (1975). Pharmaceutical excipients can be selected with reference to the intended route of administration and standard pharmaceutical practice. An excipient must be acceptable in the sense of not being harmful to the recipient thereof.

[0335] Pharmaceutically useful excipients that can be used to formulate the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, or the detectably labeled compound, stereoisomer, racemic mixture, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or solvate thereof, include, for example, carriers, vehicles, diluents, solvents, such as monohydric alcohols, e.g., ethanol, isopropanol, and polyhydric alcohols, e.g., glycols, and edible oils, e.g., soybean oil, coconut oil, olive oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, oily esters, e.g., ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, binders, adjuvants, solubilizers, and the like. These may include agents such as thickeners, thickeners, stabilizers, disintegrants, glidants, lubricants, buffers, emulsifiers, wetting agents, suspending agents, sweeteners, colorants, flavorings, coating agents, preservatives, antioxidants, processing agents, drug delivery modifiers and enhancers, such as calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, talc, monosaccharides, disaccharides, starch, gelatin, cellulose, methylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrose, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, low melting point waxes, and ion exchange resins.

[0336] The compounds of the present invention, or detectably labeled compounds thereof, stereoisomers, racemic mixtures, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, hydrates or solvates thereof, and precursors thereof, can be synthesized by one of the general methods shown in the following schemes, which are presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting.

[0337] [Table 1]

[0338] General synthetic scheme for preparing compounds and precursors of the present invention: [ka] Commercially available hydrazines can be condensed with an appropriate ketone to give the corresponding hydrazones. The crude hydrazones can undergo cyclization using DMF / DMA to give intermediate A. SNAr can be carried out with a suitable nucleophile in a suitable solvent and base to give intermediate B. Alternatively, thermal conditions can be applied without a metal catalyst. Deprotection under suitable conditions gives intermediate C. Finally, intermediate C can be further functionalized using palladium-catalyzed amidation or Ullmann reaction to give compounds of formula (I) or its subformulas (e.g., (IIa), (IIb), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IIIc), (III-F), (III-H)). In this example, the starting material is R 0 Contains R 0 is H. The general scheme above applies to starting materials, R 0 is C1-C4 alkyl. [ka] An alternative approach (Scheme 1A) involves deprotecting intermediate A, followed by an SNAr reaction with a suitable nucleophile, preferably carried out in the presence of CsF in DMSO. Intermediates C and D can be further functionalized, preferably using copper(I) (Ullmann reaction) in the presence of a base and a solvent, to give formula (IIIa) and intermediate E. Finally, LG can be introduced into intermediate E to give formula (IV-F). In this example, the starting material is R 0 Contains R 0 is H. The general scheme above applies to starting materials, R 0 is C1-C4 alkyl. [ka] The general approach is depicted in Scheme 1B, following the same preferred conditions as described in General Scheme 1 or 1A.

[0339] 18 The F-precursor can be obtained by treating intermediate A with hydroxypyrrolidine in a suitable solvent under heating.4 The group can be introduced by palladium catalyzed amidation or Ullmann reaction. Finally, the alcohol intermediate E can be modified to a leaving group using standard conditions to give compounds of formula (IV-F).

[0340] 3 The H-precursor can be prepared by palladium-catalyzed amidation or Ullmann reaction to afford the appropriate R 4 The compound of formula (IV-H) can be obtained by introducing a group into intermediate C. Finally, halogenation of pyridine, for example using NBS in a suitable solvent, gives compounds of formula (IV-H).

[0341] The present invention 18 General synthesis of F-labeled compounds 18 The compound having formula (I) labeled with F can be prepared by treating a precursor compound with LG in the precursor compound. 18 F, as described below, 18 It can be prepared by reacting with an F-fluorinating agent.

(eds.), PET-Chemistry - The Driving Force in Molecular Imaging. Springer, Berlin Heidelberg, pp. 15-50). Preferably, 18 The solvent used for F-fluorination is DMF, DMSO, acetonitrile, DMA, or a mixture thereof, preferably the solvent is acetonitrile or DMSO.

[0343] Any suitable 18 F-fluorinating agents may be used. Typical examples are H 18 F, alkali or alkaline earth 18 F-fluoride (e.g., K 18 F, Rb 18 F, Cs 18 F and Na 18 F). Optionally, 18 The F-fluorinating agent may be used in combination with a chelating agent, such as a cryptand (e.g., 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo[8.8.8]-hexacosane, Kryptofix®) or a crown ether (e.g., 18-crown-6). 18 F-fluorinating agent is 18 a tetraalkylammonium salt of F or 18 Tetraalkylphosphonium salts of F, such as 18 F Tetra (C 1~6 alkyl)ammonium salts or 18 F Tetra (C 1~6 The alkyl phosphonium salt may be: 18 F-fluorinating agent is K 18 F, H 18 F, Cs 18 F, Na 18 F, 18 F Tetra (C 1~6 (Alkyl)ammonium salt, kryptofix

[0439] (Example 1 18 F-1]) [ka] Drying Step: In a typical procedure, [ 18 The [F] fluoride was transferred to an ion exchange cartridge and captured. It was then eluted with a solution of potassium carbonate and Kryptofix 222 into the reaction vessel (RV1) of the TRACERlab® module. First, the solution was evaporated by heating at 95°C for 4 minutes under vacuum and helium flow. Acetonitrile (1 mL) was added to RV1, and evaporation continued for 2 minutes under the same conditions under vacuum and helium flow. After the addition of a second acetonitrile (1 mL), final evaporation was carried out at 95°C for 2 minutes under vacuum and helium flow. The reactor was then cooled to 60°C.

The diluted product mixture was passed through a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge, and the cartridge was rinsed with 10 mL of sodium ascorbate (5 mg / mL) in WFI. The radiolabeled product was eluted from the SPE cartridge with 1.0 mL of 200-proof USP-grade ethanol into a formulation flask pre-filled with 10 mL of formulation base (sodium ascorbate (4.67 mg / mL) in saline). The cartridge was rinsed with 4.0 mL of formulation base, and the rinse water was combined with the contents of the formulation flask.

[0443] Description of biological assays and corresponding results 1. Preparation of alpha-synuclein (a-syn) aggregates from human Parkinson's disease (PD) brains The procedure was adapted from the protocol described in Spillantini et al., 1998. Frozen tissue blocks from PD donors were thawed on ice and homogenized using a glass Dounce homogenizer. The homogenate was then centrifuged at 11,000 × g (12,700 RPM) in a pre-cooled 70.1 rotor (Beckman, 342184) in an ultracentrifuge (Beckman, XL100K) for 20 minutes at 4°C. The pellet was resuspended in extraction buffer [10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4, 10% sucrose, 0.85 mM NaCl, 1% protease inhibitor (Calbiochem 539131), 1 mM EGTA, 1% phosphatase inhibitor (Sigma P5726 and P0044)] and centrifuged at 15,000 × g (14,800 RPM, 70.1 Ti rotor) for 20 minutes at 4 °C. The pellet was discarded, and sarkosyl (20% stock solution, Sigma L7414) was added to the supernatant to a final concentration of 1% for 1 hour at room temperature. The solution was then centrifuged at 100,000 × g (38,000 RPM, 70.1 Ti rotor) for 1 hour at 4 °C. The pellet, containing abundant a-syn aggregates, was resuspended in PBS and stored at −80°C until use.

[0444] 2. Micro-radiobinding competition assay for determination of binding affinity A-syn aggregates from PD brain were spotted onto microarray slides. The slides were then incubated with a tritiated reference ligand, [ 3The slides were incubated with [H]-a-syn-Ref (described in WO2017 / 153601) at 20 nM and with exemplary compounds of the present invention (non-radiolabeled) at 1 μM or higher concentrations ranging from 50 pM to 2 μM. After incubation, the slides were washed and exposed to a storage phosphor screen (GE Healthcare, BAS-IP TR 2025). Following exposure, the storage phosphor screen was scanned with a laser imaging system (Typhoon FLA 7000) to read out the signal from the radiobinding experiment described above. Signal quantification was performed using the ImageJ software package. Nonspecific signal was determined using an excess of non-radiolabeled reference ligand (1 μM), and specific binding was calculated by subtracting the nonspecific signal from the total signal. Competition was calculated as a percentage, with 0% defined as specific binding in the presence of vehicle and 100% defined as the value obtained in the presence of an excess of non-radiolabeled reference ligand. All measurements were performed with at least two technical replicates. i Values ​​were calculated in GraphPad Prism7 by applying nonlinear regression curve fitting using a one-site specific binding model.

[0445] Exemplary compounds were evaluated for their potency in competing with the binding of [H]-radiolabeled reference ligands to a-syn aggregates derived from PD patient brains. The results of the microradio binding competition assay for the exemplary compounds tested are shown in Table 5, with % competition and K at 1 μM. i All measurements were performed on the same PD brain-derived a-syn aggregates. The K values ​​of Compound 1 reported herein are i Values ​​are the mean of two independent experiments.

[0448] 3. Example 1 in α-synucleinopathy and AD tissues 3 Evaluation of target engagement of [H-1] 3A: High-resolution microautoradiography The protocol was adapted from Marquie et al., 2015. Sections were incubated with tritiated Exemplary Compound 1 (Example 1 [H-1]) or reference tau ligand ([H]-Tau-Ref) at 60 nM for 1 hour at room temperature (RT). The sections were then washed as follows: once for 1 minute with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 buffer, twice for 1 minute with 70% ice-cold ethanol, once for 1 minute with ice-cold 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 buffer, and finally briefly rinsed with ice-cold distilled water. The sections were then dried and then exposed to Ilford nuclear emulsion type K5 (Agar Scientific, AGP9281) in a light-proof slide storage box. After 5 days, sections were developed by sequential immersion in the following solutions: 1) Ilford Phenisol developer (diluted 1:5 in H2O, Agar Scientific, AGP9106), 2) Ilfostop solution (diluted 1:20 in H2O, Agar Scientific, AGP9104), 3) Ilford Hypam Fixer (diluted 1:5 in H2O, Agar Scientific, AGP9183), and finally rinsed in H2O.

Next, sections were saturated and permeabilized in blocking buffer (PBS, 10% NGS, 0.25% Triton X-100) for 1 hour at room temperature and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies corresponding to a-syn-pS129 or MC1 (in PBS, 5% NGS, 0.25% Triton X-100). The next day, sections were washed three times with 1x PBS for 5 minutes each and then incubated for 45 minutes at room temperature with AlexaFluor 647-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (Abcam, ab150079) or goat anti-mouse (115-605-166, Jackson ImmunoResearch) secondary antibodies. Following incubation with the secondary antibodies, sections were washed three times with PBS before further processing. For image acquisition, sections were mounted using ProLong Gold antifade agent (Invitrogen P36930) and imaged with a Panoramic150 slide scanner (3DHistech, Hungary).

[0451] Results: Example 1 3 High-resolution microautoradiography at 1H-1 was performed on frozen human brain sections from different α-synucleinopathy cases. 3 Strong autoradiographic signals from [H-1] were detected in the form of accumulating silver grains (Figure 1, bottom row) and were colocalized with immunofluorescent signals from the a-syn-pS129 antibody (Figure 1, top row), suggesting strong target engagement in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, as well as very small a-syn aggregates, in PD and other a-synucleinopathies, including multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), Lewy body variant of Alzheimer's disease (LBV), and PDD.

[0452] 4. Example 1 in brain sections from PD, PDD, and non-demented control (NDC) donors by autoradiography 3 Evaluation of specific binding of [H-1] Frozen human brain sections from one familial PD case (α-synuclein [SNCA] gene G51D missense mutation), one PDD case, and two non-demented control (NDC) cases labeled with SNCA (G51D) were first briefly fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma, 252549) at 4°C for 15 minutes and washed three times with PBS (Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline, Sigma) for 5 minutes at room temperature. All slides were then equilibrated in 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.4 buffer for 20 minutes before use in experiments. Each brain section was treated with a fixed concentration (10 nM) of tritiated exemplary compound 1 (Example 1 [ 3 H-1]) or reference a-syn ligand ([3H]-a-syn-Ref), or tritiated compound at increasing concentrations ranging from 1.25 nM to 80 nM of Example 1 [ 3 H-1] in Tris-HCl buffer at room temperature for 2 hours (total binding, "-"). 3To determine [H-1] or [3H]-a-syn-Ref, the slides were mixed with 1 μM of unlabeled compound (Example 1 or a-syn-Ref, self-blocked, "+"), respectively. The slides were washed and placed under a Phosphor imaging screen (GE healthcare, BAS-IP TR 2025) in an imaging cassette. The imaging screen was scanned using a laser imaging system (Typhoon FLA 7000), and the resulting images were analyzed using the ImageJ software package. Specific binding was determined by subtracting nonspecific signals from the total signals. K d Values ​​were calculated in GraphPad Prism7 by applying nonlinear regression curve fitting using a one-site specific binding model.

[0453] Results: Example 1 3 H-1] demonstrated dose-dependent autoradiographic signals in different a-synucleinopathy tissues, including PDD (Figure 2A) and genetic PD cases (Figure 3A). The displaceable signals correlated well with the localization of a-syn pathology in both cases, as determined by staining with the a-syn-pS129 antibody, demonstrating specific binding of the compound to PDD and PD tissues (Figures 2B and 3B). Quantifying the specific signals allowed the determination of the dissociation constant (K d ) was calculated to be 11-13 nM (Figure 2C / Table 6 and Figure 3C / Table 6), suggesting good binding affinity for pathological α-synuclein aggregates.

Dissociation constant (K d ) and binding site occupancy (B max) was calculated in GraphPad Prism 7 by applying nonlinear regression curve fitting using a single-site specific binding model. 2 is the coefficient of determination.

[0456] In addition, when compared to the reference a-syn ligand, Example 1 [ 3 H-1] showed improved overall and excellent specific binding in tissues from different α-synucleinopathy cases, as well as weak binding in non-diseased tissues (NDC) (Figures 4A and 4B).

[0457] 5. Saturation binding test of PD brain-derived a-syn aggregates by microradiobinding A-syn aggregates derived from PD brains were spotted onto microarray slides. 3 The slides were incubated with either [H-1] or [H]-a-syn-Ref at increasing concentrations ranging from 300 pM to 150 nM. After incubation, the slides were washed and exposed to a storage phosphor screen (GE Healthcare, BAS-IP TR 2025). Following exposure, the storage phosphor screen was scanned with a laser imaging system (Typhoon FLA 7000) to read out the signal from the radiobinding experiment described above. Signal quantification was performed using the ImageJ software package. Nonspecific signal was determined using an excess of non-radiolabeled reference ligand (Example 1 or a-syn-Ref, each at 2 μM), and specific binding was calculated by subtracting the nonspecific signal from the total signal. K d Values ​​were calculated in GraphPad Prism7 by applying nonlinear regression curve fitting using a one-site specific binding model.

[0458] Results: Example 1 3 H-1] was evaluated in a saturation binding assay in PD tissue homogenates by microradiobinding and compared head-to-head with a reference a-syn binder. 3H-1] showed high and improved binding site occupancy in PD brain-derived a-syn aggregates.

[0459] 6. Example 1: Microradiobinding of PD brain-derived a-syn aggregates 3 Evaluation of substitution of a-syn-Ref with H-1] A-syn aggregates derived from PD brains were spotted onto microarray slides. 3 The slides were incubated with 20 nM of [H-1] and either a-syn-Ref or the compound of Example 1 (non-radiolabeled) at increasing concentrations ranging from 50 pM to 2 μM. After incubation, the slides were washed and exposed to a storage phosphor screen (GE Healthcare, BAS-IP TR 2025). Following exposure, the storage phosphor screen was scanned with a laser imaging system (Typhoon FLA 7000) to read out the signal from the radiobinding experiment described above. Signal quantification was performed using the ImageJ software package. Nonspecific signal was determined using an excess of non-radiolabeled example compound 1 (2 μM), and specific binding was calculated by subtracting the nonspecific signal from the total signal. Competition was calculated as a percentage, with 0% defined as specific binding in the presence of vehicle and 100% defined as the value obtained in the presence of an excess of non-radiolabeled reference ligand. All measurements were performed with at least two technical replicates.

[0460] Results: Example 1 3 We evaluated whether the a-syn-Ref compound [H-1] could be substituted for the non-radiolabeled a-syn-Ref compound. Only the a-syn-Ref compound exhibited the same activity as Example 1 [H-1] in brain-derived a-syn aggregates from an idiopathic PD case (Figure 6). 3 H-1], suggesting that Exemplified Compound 1 binds to a different or partially overlapping binding pocket on pathological a-syn aggregates compared to the a-syn-Ref compound.

The homogenate was centrifuged at 100,000 × g (38,000 RPM) in a pre-cooled 70.1 rotor (Beckman, 342184) in an ultracentrifuge (Beckman, XL100K) for 1 hour at 4°C. The pellet was resuspended in high-salt buffer supplemented with 1% Triton X-100 and homogenized at 4°C using a glass Dounce homogenizer. The homogenate was centrifuged again at 100,000 × g (38,000 RPM, 70.1 rotor) for 1 hour at 4°C. The pellet was resuspended in high-salt buffer supplemented with 1% Triton X-100 and 1 M sucrose and homogenized using a glass Dounce homogenizer at 4°C. The homogenate was centrifuged at 100,000 × g (38,000 RPM, 70.1 rotor) for 1 hour at 4°C. The resulting pellet, containing the insoluble fraction, was resuspended in PBS, aliquoted, and stored at -80°C until use.

The GF / C filters were then dried, and scintillation fluid (UltimateGold, PerkinElmer) was added to each well. The filters were analyzed in a Microbeta2 scintillation counter (PerkinElmer). Nonspecific signal was determined using an excess of unradiolabeled reference ligand (2 μM), and specific binding was calculated by subtracting the nonspecific signal from the total signal. Competition was calculated as a percentage, with 0% defined as specific binding in the presence of vehicle and 100% defined as the value obtained in the presence of excess unradiolabeled reference ligand. i Values ​​were calculated in GraphPad Prism 7 by applying nonlinear regression curve fitting using a single-site specific binding model. Measurements were performed with at least two replicates.

[0463] Results: As shown in Figure 7 and Table 7, the K value of Exemplified Compound 1 in AD brain homogenate was i The value was determined at 330 nM. Example 1 [ 3 Based on the binding affinity of [H-1], Exemplary Compound 1 showed good selectivity for a-syn over Abeta pathological aggregates present in human AD brain homogenates. 3 H-1] did not show specific target engagement with tau aggregates in AD brain tissue compared to the reference tau binder used as a positive control (FIG. 8), suggesting good selectivity over tau pathological aggregates. 3H-1] showed weak to no binding to TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) aggregates present in frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD-TDP) type C brain tissue (Figure 9), demonstrating good selectivity over TDP-43 pathological aggregates. Overall, these data demonstrate the selectivity of exemplified compound 1.

Monkey PET scans were performed using a Siemens Focus 220. PET acquisition began immediately before the injection of the radiation dose. Images were generated as dynamic scans over 120 minutes with head focus. Example 1 [ 18 F-1] showed rapid uptake in the whole brain (3.5 minutes after injection) with a SUVmax of 2.0. 18 F-1] underwent rapid efflux from the peak to half of the peak at 14 minutes (Figure 10).

The displaceable signal correlated well with the localization and burden of a-syn pathology, as determined by staining with the a-syn-pS129 antibody (Fig. 11B), demonstrating specific binding of the compound. Furthermore, autoradiographic signals were more abundant in diseased donors compared with numerous non-demented controls, although the signals were weaker.

It was then eluted in a reaction vessel (RV1) with a solution of potassium carbonate (1.6 mg) and Kryptofix 222 (10 mg) in acetonitrile. The solution was first evaporated by heating at 95 °C for 4 minutes under vacuum and helium flow. Then, acetonitrile (1 mL) was added to RV1, and evaporation was continued under the same conditions under vacuum and helium flow for 2 minutes. After the addition of a second acetonitrile (1 mL), a final evaporation was carried out at 95 °C for 2 minutes under vacuum and helium flow. Finally, the reactor was cooled to 60 °C.
