Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to U.S. Application No. 62 / 332,278, filed May 5, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. [Background technology]

[0002] In metazoans, diverse stress signals converge on a single phosphorylation event at serine 51 of a common effector, the translation initiation factor eIF2α. This step is carried out by four eIF2α kinases in mammalian cells: PERK, which responds to the accumulation of unfolded proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER); GCN2, which responds to amino acid starvation and UV light; PKR, which responds to viral infection and metabolic stress; and HRI, which responds to heme depletion. This collection of signaling pathways has been termed the "integrated stress response" (ISR) because they converge on the same molecular event. eIF2α phosphorylation results in the attenuation of translation, thereby enabling cells to cope with various stresses (Wek, RC et al., Biochem Soc Trans (2006) 34 (Pt 1): 7-11).

[0003] eIF2 (consisting of three subunits, α, β, and γ) binds to GTP and the initiation factor Met-tRNA to form a ternary complex (eIF2-GTP-Met-tRNA i), which associates with the 40S ribosomal subunit, which scans the 5'UTR of mRNA to select the initiating AUG codon. Upon phosphorylation of its α-subunit, eIF2 becomes a competitive inhibitor of its GTP-exchange factor (GEF), eIF2B (Hinnebusch, AG and Lorsch, JR Cold Spring Harbor Perspect Biol (2012) 4(10)). The tight and non-productive binding of phosphorylated eIF2 to eIF2B prevents GTP loading into the eIF2 complex, thereby blocking ternary complex formation and reducing translation initiation (Krishnamoorthy, T. et al., Mol Cell Biol (2001) 21(15):5018-5030). Because eIF2B is less abundant than eIF2, phosphorylation of only a small fraction of total eIF2 dramatically affects eIF2B activity in cells. eIF2B is a complex molecular machine composed of five distinct subunits, eIF2B1 through eIF2B5. eIF2B5 catalyzes the GDP / GTP exchange reaction and, together with the partially homogeneous subunit eIF2B3, constitutes the "catalytic core" (Williams, D.D. et al., J. Biol. Chem. (2001) 276:24697-24703). The three remaining subunits (eIF2B1, eIF2B2, and eIF2B4) are also highly homogeneous with each other and form a "regulatory subcomplex" that provides a binding site for eIF2, the substrate of eIF2B (Dev, K. et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. (2010) 30:5218-5233). The exchange of GDP for GTP in eIF2 is catalyzed by its dedicated guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), eIF2B. In cells, eIF2B exists as a decamer (B12B22B32B42B52) or a dimer of two pentamers (Gordiyenko, Y. et al., Nat Commun (2014) 5:3902; Wortham, N.C. et al., FASEB J (2014) 28:2225-2237). Molecules such as ISRIB interact with and stabilize the eIF2B dimeric conformation, enhancing its intrinsic GEF activity and reducing cell sensitivity to the cellular effects of eIF2α phosphorylation (Sidrauski, C. et al., eLife (2015) e07314; Sekine, Y. et al., Science (2015) 348:1027-1030). Thus, small molecule therapeutics capable of modulating eIF2B activity may have the potential to attenuate the PERK branch of the UPR and the entire ISR, and therefore may be used in the prevention and / or treatment of a variety of diseases, such as neurodegenerative diseases, leukodystrophy, cancer, inflammatory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, or metabolic diseases.

Chemical elements are defined in Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75 th Functional groups are generally defined as described herein. General principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional sites and reactivities, are also described in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5 th Edition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3 rd Edition, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.

[0059] The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts. The chemical structures and formulae set forth herein are constructed according to the standard rules of chemical valency known in the chemical arts.

[0060] The compounds described herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and therefore may exist in various isomeric forms, such as enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein may be in the form of individual enantiomers, diastereomers, or geometric isomers, or may be in the form of mixtures of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomers. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (EL Eliel, Ed., University of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972). The present invention additionally encompasses the compounds described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.

[0061] As used herein, a pure enantiomer compound is substantially free of other enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., in enantiomeric excess). In other words, the "S" form of a compound is substantially free of the "R" form of the compound and is therefore in enantiomeric excess of the "R" form. The terms "enantiomerically pure" or "pure enantiomer" refer to a compound that contains more than 75%, more than 80%, more than 85%, more than 90%, more than 91%, more than 92%, more than 93%, more than 94%, more than 95%, more than 96%, more than 97%, more than 98%, more than 99%, more than 99.5%, or more than 99.9% by weight of an enantiomer. In certain embodiments, weights are based on the combined weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of a compound.

[0062] In the compositions provided herein, the enantiomerically pure compound may be present together with other active or inactive ingredients. For example, a pharmaceutical composition containing an enantiomerically pure R-compound may contain, for example, about 90% excipients and about 10% enantiomerically pure R-compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure R-compound in such a composition may contain, for example, at least about 95% by weight of the R-compound and up to about 5% by weight of the S-compound, based on the total weight of the compound. For example, a pharmaceutical composition containing an enantiomerically pure S-compound may contain, for example, about 90% excipients and about 10% of the enantiomerically pure S-compound. In certain embodiments, the enantiomerically pure S-compound in such a composition may contain, for example, at least about 95% by weight of the S-compound and up to about 5% by weight of the R-compound, based on the total weight of the compound. In certain embodiments, the active ingredient may be formulated without or with little to no excipients or carriers.

[0063] The compounds described herein may contain one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H is 1 H, 2 H (D or deuterium), and 3H (T or tritium) and may be in any isotopic form; 12 C. 13 C, and 14 C may be in any isotopic form, including 16 O and 18 It may be in any isotopic form, including O; and the like.

[0064] The articles "a" and "an" may be used herein to refer to one to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, "an analog" means one analog or more than one analog.

[0065] When a range of values ​​is listed, the range is intended to include each value and subrange within the range. For example, "C1-C6 alkyl" is intended to include C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C1-C6, C1-C5, C1-C4, C1-C3, C1-C2, C2-C6, C2-C5, C2-C4, C2-C3, C3-C6, C3-C5, C3-C4, C4-C6, C4-C5, and C5-C6 alkyl.

Unless otherwise specified, a "substituted" group has a substituent at one or more substitutable positions of the group; when more than one position in a given structure is substituted, the substituents are either the same or different at each position. The term "substituted" is intended to include substitution with all permissible substituents of organic compounds, e.g., with any substituent described herein that results in the formation of a stable compound.

Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, carbonic acid, monohydrogencarbonic acid, phosphoric acid, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, sulfuric acid, monohydrogensulfuric acid, hydroiodic acid, or phosphorous acid, as well as salts derived from relatively non-toxic organic acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, benzoic acid, succinic acid, suberic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, phthalic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-tolylsulfonic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, methanesulfonic acid, etc. Also included are salts of amino acids, such as arginates, and salts of organic acids such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid (see, for example, Berge et al., Journal of Pharmaceutical Science 66:1-19 (1977)). Certain specific compounds of the present invention contain both basic and acidic functional groups that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. Other pharmaceutically acceptable carriers known to those skilled in the art are suitable for the present invention. Salts tend to be more soluble in aqueous or other protic solvents than the corresponding free base form. In other cases, the preparation may be a lyophilized powder in a first buffer, e.g., 1 mM to 50 mM histidine, 0.1% to 2% sucrose, 2% to 7% mannitol, at a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5, combined with a second buffer prior to use.

[0097] Thus, the compounds of the present invention may exist as salts with, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable acids. The present invention includes such salts. Examples of such salts include hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, methanesulfonate, nitrate, maleate, acetate, citrate, fumarate, tartrate (e.g., (+)-tartrate, (-)-tartrate, or a mixture thereof, including a racemic mixture), succinate, benzoate, and salts with amino acids, such as glutamic acid. These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.

[0098] The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. Certain physical properties, for example, solubility in polar solvents, differ from the parent form of the compound in the various salt forms.

[0099] In addition to salt forms, the present invention provides compounds in prodrug form. Prodrugs of the compounds described herein are compounds that undergo chemical changes under physiological conditions to provide the compounds of the present invention. Prodrugs can also be converted to the compounds of the present invention by chemical or biochemical methods in an ex vivo environment. For example, prodrugs can be slowly converted to the compounds of the present invention when placed in a transdermal patch reservoir with a suitable enzyme or chemical reagent.

[0100] Certain compounds of the present invention can exist in unsolvated form as well as solvated form, including hydrated form. Generally, solvated form is equivalent to unsolvated form and is included within the scope of the present invention. Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in multiple crystalline or amorphous forms. Generally, all physical forms are equivalent for the use contemplated by the present invention and are considered to be within the scope of the present invention.

[0101] As used herein, the term "salt" refers to an acid or base salt of a compound used in the method of the present invention. Examples of acceptable salts include mineral acid salts (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, etc.), organic acid salts (such as acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, citric acid, etc.), and quaternary ammonium salts (such as methyl iodide, ethyl iodide, etc.).

[0102] Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical or chiral centers) or double bonds; enantiomers, racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, and stereoisomeric forms, and individual isomers, which may be defined in terms of absolute stereochemistry as (R)- or (S)-, or with respect to amino acids, as (D)- or (L)-, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention. Compounds of the present invention do not include those known in the art to be too unstable to synthesize and / or isolate. The present invention is intended to encompass compounds in racemic and optically pure form. Optically active (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, unless otherwise specified, the compounds are intended to include both E and Z geometric isomers.

[0103] As used herein, the term "isomers" refers to compounds that have the same number and kind of atoms, and hence the same molecular weight, but differ in the structural arrangement or configuration of the atoms.

[0104] The term "tautomer," as used herein, refers to one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are readily converted from one isomeric form to another.

[0105] It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that certain compounds of this invention may exist in tautomeric forms, all such tautomeric forms of the compounds being within the scope of the invention.

[0106] The term "treat" or "treatment" refers to any indication of success in treating or ameliorating an injury, disease, medical condition, or state, including any objective or subjective parameter, such as relief; alleviation; reduction in symptoms or an improvement in the patient's tolerance of the injury, medical condition, or state; slowing the rate of degeneration or decline; reducing wasting at the end point of degeneration; or an improvement in the patient's physical or mental health. Treatment or amelioration of symptoms may be based on objective or subjective parameters, including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric examination, and / or psychiatric evaluation. For example, certain methods herein treat cancer (e.g., pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, multiple myeloma, cancer of secretory cells), neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia), leukodystrophy (e.g., vanishing white matter disease, childhood ataxia due to hypomyelination of the central nervous system), post-operative cognitive dysfunction, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability syndrome, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, metabolic disease, or a disease or disorder associated with impaired function of eIF2B or components in signal transduction or signaling pathways, including ISR activity and decreased eIF2 pathway activity.For example, certain methods herein treat cancer by reducing or decreasing or preventing the onset, growth, metastasis, or progression of cancer, or reducing the symptoms of cancer; treating neurodegeneration by improving mental health, increasing mental function, delaying the decline of mental function, reducing dementia, delaying the onset of dementia, improving cognitive ability, reducing loss of cognitive ability, improving memory, reducing memory decline, reducing symptoms of neurodegeneration, or prolonging survival; reducing symptoms of vanishing white matter disease, or reducing white matter loss, or reducing myelin loss. Treating vanishing white matter disease by reducing or increasing the amount of myelin or increasing the amount of white matter; Treating childhood ataxia due to central nervous system hypomyelination by reducing the symptoms of central nervous system hypomyelination or by increasing the level of myelin or by reducing myelin loss; Treating intellectual disability syndrome by reducing the symptoms of intellectual disability syndrome; Treating inflammatory diseases by treating the symptoms of inflammatory diseases; Treating musculoskeletal diseases by treating the symptoms of musculoskeletal diseases; Or Treating metabolic diseases by treating the symptoms of metabolic diseases. Symptoms of the diseases, disorders, or conditions described herein (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, leukodystrophy, inflammatory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, metabolic diseases, or conditions or diseases associated with dysfunction of eIF2B or components in signal transduction pathways, including the eIF2 pathway, eIF2α phosphorylation, or ISR pathway) are known or can be determined by those skilled in the art. The term "treat" and its conjunctions include prevention of injury, condition, state, or disease (e.g., preventing the occurrence of one or more symptoms of a disease, disorder, or condition described herein).

[0107] An "effective amount" is an amount sufficient to achieve the stated purpose (e.g., achieve the effect of administration, treat a disease, reduce enzyme activity, increase enzyme activity, or reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition). An example of an "effective amount" is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of one or more symptoms of a disease, and may also be referred to as a "therapeutically effective amount." A "prophylactically effective amount" of a drug is an amount of drug that, when administered to a subject, has the intended preventive effect, for example, prevents or delays the onset (or recurrence) of an injury, disease, symptom, or condition, or reduces the likelihood of the onset (or recurrence) of an injury, disease, symptom, or condition, or a symptom thereof. A complete preventive effect does not necessarily occur by administering a single dose, but may occur only after administering a series of doses. Therefore, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. The exact amount will depend on the purpose of the treatment and can be ascertained by one of ordinary skill in the art using known techniques (see, e.g., Lieberman, Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms (vols. 1-3, 1992); Lloyd, The Art, Science and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding (1999); Pickar, Dosage Calculations (1999); and Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 20th Edition, 2003, Gennaro, Ed., Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins).

[0108] "Reduction" (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) of a symptom or symptoms means a decrease in the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s).

[0109] The term "associated with" or "associated with" in the context of a substance or substance activity or function associated with a disease (e.g., a disease or disorder described herein, e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, metabolic disease, or a disease or disorder associated with impaired function of eIF2B or components in a signal transduction pathway, including the eIF2 pathway, eIF2α phosphorylation, or ISR pathway) means that the disease is caused (in whole or in part) or the symptoms of the disease are caused (in whole or in part) by the substance or substance activity or function. For example, symptoms of a disease or condition associated with impaired function of eIF2B can be symptoms resulting (in whole or in part) from decreased eIF2B activity (e.g., decreased eIF2B activity or level, increased eIF2α phosphorylation, or activity of phosphorylated eIF2α, or reduced eIF2 activity, or increased activity of phosphorylated eIF2α signal transduction or ISR signaling pathway). As used herein, something described as associated with a disease, when it is a causative agent, can be a target for treating the disease. For example, diseases associated with decreased eIF2 activity or eIF2 pathway activity may be treated with an agent (e.g., a compound described herein) effective for increasing the level or activity of eIF2 or the eIF2 pathway, or phosphorylated eIF2α activity or a decrease in the ISR pathway. For example, diseases associated with phosphorylated eIF2α may be treated with an agent (e.g., a compound described herein) effective for decreasing the level of phosphorylated eIF2α or the activity of downstream components or effectors of phosphorylated eIF2α. For example, diseases associated with eIF2α may be treated with an agent (e.g., a compound described herein) effective for increasing the level of eIF2 or the activity of downstream components or effectors of eIF2.

[0110] "Control" or "control experiment" is used according to its ordinary and accustomed meaning to refer to an experiment in which the experimental subject or agent is treated identically to a parallel experiment except for the omission of the experimental procedure, agent, or variable. In some cases, a control is used as a standard of comparison in evaluating the effectiveness of an experiment.

[0111] "Contacting" is used according to its normal and ordinary meaning and refers to the process of allowing at least two different species (e.g., chemical compounds, including biomolecules, or cells) to come into sufficient proximity to react, interact, or physically come into contact. However, it should be recognized that the resulting reaction product may be produced from a reaction between added reagents or from an intermediate from one or more of the added reagents that may be produced in the reaction mixture. The term "contacting" may include allowing two species to react, interact, or physically come into contact, and the two species may be a compound described herein and a protein or enzyme (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway). In some embodiments, contacting includes allowing a compound described herein to interact with a protein or enzyme involved in a signaling pathway (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway).

[0112] As defined herein, the terms "inhibition," "inhibit," "inhibiting," and the like, in reference to protein-inhibitor (e.g., antagonist) interaction, refer to negatively affecting (e.g., decreasing) the activity or function of a protein compared to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the inhibitor. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a reduction in a disease or disease symptom. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a reduction in the activity of a signal transduction or signaling pathway. As such, inhibition includes, at least in part, partially, or fully, blocking a stimulus, reducing, preventing, or delaying activation, or inactivating, desensitizing, or downregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or the amount of a protein. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a decrease in the activity of a signal transduction or signaling pathway (e.g., a component of the eIF2B, eIF2α, or eIF2 pathway, a pathway activated by eIF2α phosphorylation, or the ISR pathway). Thus, inhibition may include, at least in part, partially or wholly, reducing stimulation, reducing or reducing activation, or inactivating, desensitizing, or downregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity or protein abundance increased in disease (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or components of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway, each associated with cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, or metabolic disease).Inhibition may include, at least in part, partially, or in whole, decreasing stimulation, decreasing or reducing activation, or inactivating, desensitizing, or downregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity, or the amount of a protein (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway) that may regulate the level of another protein or increase cell survival (e.g., decreasing phosphorylated eIF2α pathway activity may increase cell survival in cells that may or may not have increased phosphorylated eIF2α pathway activity compared to non-disease controls, or decreasing eIF2α pathway activity may increase cell survival in cells that may or may not have increased eIF2α pathway activity compared to non-disease controls).

[0113] As defined herein, the terms "activation," "activate," "activating," and the like, in reference to protein-activator (e.g., agonist) interaction, mean positively affecting (e.g., increasing) the activity or function of a protein (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway) compared to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the activator (e.g., a compound described herein). In some embodiments, activation refers to an increase in the activity of a signal transduction or signaling pathway (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway). Thus, activation may involve, at least in part, partially, or wholly, increasing stimulation, increasing or enabling activation, or activating, sensitizing, or upregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity, or protein abundance that is decreased in a disease (e.g., levels of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway associated with cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, or metabolic disease). Activation may involve, at least in part, partially, or wholly, increasing stimulation, increasing or enabling activation, or activating, sensitizing, or upregulating signal transduction or enzymatic activity, or protein abundance that may regulate the level of another protein or increase cell survival (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway) (e.g., increased eIF2α activity may increase cell survival in cells that may or may not have reduced eIF2α activity compared to non-disease controls).

[0114] The term "modulation" refers to an increase or decrease in the level of a target molecule or the function of a target molecule. In some embodiments, modulation of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway can result in a reduction in the severity of one or more symptoms of a disease associated with eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, or metabolic disease), or a disease that is not caused by eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway but may benefit from modulation of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway (e.g., a decrease in the level or activity of a component of eIF2B, eIF2α, or eIF2 pathway).

[0115] The term "modulator," as used herein, refers to the regulation (e.g., increase or decrease) of the level of a target molecule or the function of a target molecule. In embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is an anti-cancer agent. In embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is a neuroprotective agent. In embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is a memory enhancer. In embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is a memory enhancer (e.g., a long-term memory enhancer). In embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is an anti-inflammatory agent. In some embodiments, the modulator of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway is an analgesic.

Such components include high molecular weight anionic mucus-mimetic polymers, gelling polysaccharides, and finely divided drug carrier substrates. These components are discussed in more detail in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,911,920; 5,403,841; 5,212,162; and 4,861,760. The entire contents of these patents are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for all purposes. The compositions of the present invention may also be delivered as microspheres for delayed release in the body. For example, microspheres can be administered via intradermal injection of drug-containing microspheres for subcutaneous delayed release (see Rao, J. Biomater Sci. Polym. Ed. 7:623-645, 1995); as biodegradable and injectable gel formulations (see, e.g., Gao Pharm. Res. 12:857-863, 1995); or as microspheres for oral administration (see, e.g., Eyles, J. Pharm. Pharmacol. 49:669-674, 1997). In another embodiment, formulations of the compositions of the invention can be delivered by the use of liposomes that fuse with or are internalized by the cell membrane, i.e., by using receptor ligands attached to the liposomes that bind to surface membrane protein receptors of the cell, triggering endocytosis.Liposomes can be used to concentrate the delivery of the composition of the present invention to target cells in vivo, especially when the liposome surface carries receptor ligands specific to target cells, or in other cases, when it is selectively targeted to specific organs (see, for example, Al-Muhammed, J.Microencapsul.13:293-306,1996; Chonn, Curr.Opin.Biotechnol.6:698-708,1995; Ostro, J.Hosp.Pharm.46:1576-1587,1989).The composition of the present invention can also be delivered as nanoparticles.

[0276] Alternatively, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration.The pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of the present invention can also be administered topically, especially when the target of treatment comprises areas or organs that are easily accessible by topical application, including diseases of the eye, skin or lower gastrointestinal tract.Suitable topical formulations can be easily prepared for each of these areas or organs.

[0277] In some embodiments, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to delay the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with low water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends on the dissolution rate, which in turn depends on the crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0278] Although the description of pharmaceutical compositions provided herein is primarily directed to pharmaceutical compositions that are suitable for administration to humans, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that such compositions are generally suitable for administration to all classes of animals. Modifications of pharmaceutical compositions that are suitable for administration to humans to make them suitable for administration to various animals are well understood, and a veterinary pharmacologist of ordinary skill can design and / or perform such modifications by routine experimentation.

[0279] The compounds provided herein, such as compounds of formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, tautomers, or stereoisomers, are typically formulated in dosage unit form, for example, single unit dosage form, for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. However, it will be understood that the total daily use amount of the compositions of the present invention will be determined by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The therapeutically effective dose level specific to any particular subject or organism will depend on various factors, including the severity of the disease and disorder being treated; the activity of the specific active ingredient used; the specific composition used; the age, weight, general health, sex, and diet of the subject; the time of administration, route of administration, and excretion rate of the specific active ingredient used; the duration of treatment; drugs used in combination or simultaneously with the specific active ingredient used; and similar factors well known in the medical field.

[0280] The exact amount of compound required to achieve an effective dose will vary from subject to subject, depending, for example, on the subject's species, age, and general condition, the severity of the side effect or disorder, the attributes of the particular compound(s), the mode of administration, etc. A desired dosage may be delivered three times per day, twice per day, once per day, every other day, every third day, once per week, once every two weeks, once per three weeks, or once per four weeks. In certain embodiments, a desired dosage may be delivered using multiple administrations (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or more administrations).

[0281] In certain embodiments, an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof for administration one or more times daily may contain from about 0.0001 mg to about 5000 mg, e.g., from about 0.0001 mg to about 4000 mg, from about 0.0001 mg to about 2000 mg, from about 0.0001 mg to about 1000 mg, from about 0.001 mg to about 1000 mg, from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg, from about 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg, from about 1 mg to about 1000 mg, from about 1 mg to about 100 mg, from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg, or from about 100 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound per unit dosage form.

[0283] It will be appreciated that the dosage ranges described herein provide guidance for administering the provided pharmaceutical compositions to adults. For example, the amount administered to children or adolescents can be determined by a physician or person skilled in the art and may be less than or the same as the amount administered to adults.

[0284] It will also be recognized that the compounds or compositions described herein, such as compounds of Formula (I) or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, hydrates, tautomers, or stereoisomers, can be administered in combination with one or more additional agents. The compounds or compositions can be administered in combination with additional agents that improve bioavailability, reduce and / or alter metabolism, inhibit excretion, and / or alter distribution in the body. It will also be recognized that the treatments used can achieve the desired effect for the same disorder and / or can achieve different effects.

[0285] The compound or composition may be administered simultaneously with, before, or after one or more additional agents that may be useful, for example, as a combination therapy. The agents include therapeutically active agents. The agents also include prophylactically active agents. Each additional agent may be administered at a dose and / or time schedule determined for that agent. The additional agents may also be administered together with each other and / or with the compounds or compositions described herein in a single dose or separately in different doses. The particular combination to use in a regimen will take into account the compatibility of the compound of the present invention with the additional agents and / or the desired therapeutic and / or prophylactic effect to be achieved. Generally, it is expected that additional agents used in combination will be used at levels that do not exceed the levels used individually. In some embodiments, the levels used in combination will be lower than the levels used individually.

[0286] Exemplary additional drugs include, but are not limited to, antiproliferative agents, anticancer agents, antidiabetic agents, anti-inflammatory agents, immunosuppressants, and analgesics. Drugs include small organic molecules, such as pharmaceutical compounds (e.g., compounds approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as provided by the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)), peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, nucleoproteins, mucoproteins, lipoproteins, synthetic polypeptides or proteins, small molecules bound to proteins, glycoproteins, steroids, nucleic acids, DNA, RNA, nucleotides, nucleosides, oligonucleotides, antisense oligonucleotides, lipids, hormones, vitamins, and cells.

[0287] Pharmaceutical compositions provided by the present invention include compositions containing a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient (e.g., a compound described herein, including embodiments or examples), i.e., an amount effective to achieve its intended purpose. The actual amount effective for a particular application will depend, inter alia, on the condition being treated. When administered in a method for treating a disease, such compositions will contain an amount of active ingredient effective to achieve the desired result, e.g., modulating the activity of a target molecule (e.g., an element of the eIF2B, eIF2, or eIF2α signal transduction pathway, or a phosphorylated component of the eIF2α or ISR pathway) and / or reducing, eliminating, or delaying the progression of a disease symptom (e.g., a symptom of cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, metabolic disease, or a disease or disorder associated with dysfunction of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 or ISR pathway). Determining a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present invention is well within the capabilities of one skilled in the art, especially in light of the detailed disclosure herein.

[0288] The dosage and frequency (single or multiple doses) administered to a mammal can vary depending on a variety of factors, such as whether the mammal is suffering from another disease and the route of administration; the recipient's size, age, sex, health, weight, body mass index, and diet; the nature and extent of the symptoms of the disease being treated (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative disease, leukodystrophy, inflammatory disease, musculoskeletal disease, metabolic disease, or symptoms of a disease or disorder associated with dysfunction of eIF2B, eIF2α, or components of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway), the type of concurrent treatment, and complications from the disease or other health-related problem being treated. Other therapeutic regimens or agents may be used in conjunction with the methods and compounds of Applicant's invention. Adjustment and manipulation of established dosages (e.g., frequency and duration) are well within the capabilities of one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0289] For any compound described herein, the therapeutically effective amount can be initially determined from cell culture assays. The target concentration will be the concentration of active compound(s) obtainable by the methods described herein, as measured using methods described herein or known in the art.

[0290] As is well known in the art, therapeutically effective amounts for human use can also be determined from animal models. For example, dosages for humans can be formulated to achieve concentrations found to be effective in animals. Dosages for humans can be adjusted by monitoring the effectiveness of the compound and adjusting the dosage upward or downward, as described above. Adjusting dosages to achieve maximum efficacy in humans based on the above and other methods is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.

[0291] Dosage may vary depending on the patient's needs and the compound being used. The dosage administered to a patient should be sufficient to induce a beneficial therapeutic response in the patient over time, in accordance with the present invention. The size of the dose will also be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects. Determining the dosage appropriate for a particular situation is also within the skill of the artisan. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages that are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under the circumstances is reached. Dosage amount and interval can be individually adjusted to provide an administered compound level effective for the particular clinical indication being treated. This will provide a treatment regimen commensurate with the severity of the individual's disease state.

[0292] Utilizing the techniques provided herein, effective prophylactic or therapeutic treatment regimens can be designed that do not cause substantial toxicity but are effective in treating the clinical symptoms demonstrated by a particular patient. This design should involve careful selection of an active compound by considering factors such as the compound's potency, relative bioavailability, patient weight, the presence and severity of adverse side effects, preferred dosage form, and the toxicity profile of the selected agent.

[0293] Kits (e.g., pharmaceutical packs) are also encompassed by the present invention. The kits of the present invention may be useful for preventing and / or treating diseases (e.g., cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, leukodystrophy, inflammatory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, metabolic diseases, or other diseases or conditions described herein).

[0294] The provided kits may include a pharmaceutical composition or compound of the invention and a container (e.g., a vial, ampoule, bottle, syringe, and / or dispenser package, or other suitable container). In some embodiments, the provided kits may optionally further include a second container containing a pharmaceutical excipient for dilution or suspension of the pharmaceutical composition or compound of the invention. In some embodiments, the container and the pharmaceutical composition or compound of the invention provided in the second container are combined to form a single unit dosage form.

[0295] Thus, in one aspect, a kit is also provided that includes a first container containing a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof. In certain embodiments, the kit is useful for preventing and / or treating a proliferative disease in a subject. In certain embodiments, the kit further includes instructions for administering the compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition thereof to a subject to prevent and / or treat a disease described herein.

[0296] Treatment method The present invention features compounds, compositions, and methods comprising a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof. In some embodiments, the compounds, compositions, and methods are used in the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition. Exemplary diseases, disorders, or conditions include, but are not limited to, neurodegenerative diseases, leukodystrophy, cancer, inflammatory diseases, musculoskeletal diseases, or metabolic diseases.

[0297] In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (e.g., caused by) modulation (e.g., decrease) of eIF2B activity or levels, eIF2α activity or levels, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with modulation of a signaling pathway involving a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway (e.g., phosphorylation of a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway). In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (e.g., caused by) neurodegeneration. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (e.g., caused by) nervous system cell death or dysfunction. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (e.g., caused by) glial cell death or dysfunction. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (e.g., caused by) increased levels or activity of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or ISR pathway. In some embodiments, the disease, disorder, or condition is associated with (eg, caused by) a decrease in the level or activity of eIF2B, eIF2α, or a component of the eIF2 pathway or the ISR pathway.

[0298] In some embodiments, the disease may be caused by a mutation in a gene or protein sequence related to a member of the eIF2 pathway (e.g., eIF2B, eIF2α, or other component). Exemplary mutations include amino acid mutations in the eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, and eIF2B5 subunits. In some embodiments, amino acid mutations (e.g., amino acid substitutions, additions, or deletions) in a particular protein may result in structural changes, such as conformational or steric changes, that affect the function of the protein. For example, in some embodiments, amino acids in or around the active site or near a binding site (e.g., a phosphorylation site, a small molecule binding site, or a protein-binding site) may be mutated to affect the activity of the protein. In some cases, amino acid mutations (e.g., amino acid substitutions, additions, or deletions) may be conservative and may not substantially affect the structure or function of the protein. For example, in certain cases, the substitution of a serine residue with a threonine residue may not substantially affect the function of the protein. In other cases, the amino acid mutation may be larger, for example, a substitution of a charged amino acid (e.g., aspartic acid or lysine) with a large nonpolar amino acid (e.g., phenylalanine or tryptophan), and thus may substantially affect protein function. The nature of mutations that affect the structure or function of a gene or protein can be easily identified using standard sequencing techniques, such as deep sequencing techniques that are well known in the art. In some embodiments, mutations in members of the eIF2 pathway may affect the binding or activity of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, thereby modulating the treatment of a particular disease, disorder, or condition, or a symptom thereof.

[0299] In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may comprise an amino acid mutation (e.g., an amino acid substitution, addition, or deletion) at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue.

In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may comprise an amino acid addition at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue, or an amino acid deletion at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue.

[0300] In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may include an amino acid mutation (e.g., an amino acid substitution, addition, or deletion) at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue in the eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, or eIF2B5 subunit. In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may contain amino acid substitutions at alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residues in the eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, or eIF2B5 subunits. In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may include an amino acid addition at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue in the eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, or eIF2B5 subunit. In some embodiments, the eIF2 protein may contain an amino acid deletion at an alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, tryptophan, tyrosine, or valine residue in the eIF2B1, eIF2B2, eIF2B3, eIF2B4, or eIF2B5 subunit. Exemplary mutations include V183F (eIF2B1 subunit), H341Q (eIF2B3), I346T (eIF2B3), R483W (eIF2B4), R113H (eIF2B5), and R195H (eIF2B5).

[0301] In some embodiments, amino acid mutations (e.g., amino acid substitutions, additions, or deletions) in members of the eIF2 pathway (e.g., the eIF2B protein subunit) may affect the binding or activity of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof, thereby modulating the treatment of a particular disease, disorder, or condition, or a symptom thereof.

[0312] In another embodiment, a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof is used to improve memory in a subject. It has been shown that memory induction is promoted by the reduction and loss of eIF2α due to increased phosphorylation. Translation regulators, such as compounds disclosed herein (e.g., compounds of Formula (I)), can function as therapeutic agents to improve memory in human disorders associated with memory loss, such as Alzheimer's disease, and in other neurological disorders that activate the UPR or ISR in neurons, thereby negatively impacting memory consolidation, such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and prion diseases. Additionally, mutations in eIF2γ that disrupt complex integrity have been linked to intellectual disability (intellectual disability syndrome or ID) in humans due to loss of translation initiation. Thus, while ID and VWM, two diseases caused by loss of eIF2 function, exhibit distinct phenotypes, both primarily affect the brain and impair learning. In some embodiments, the disease or condition is poor memory (eg, working memory, long-term memory, short-term memory, or memory consolidation).

[0313] In still other embodiments, an aspect of a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, hydrate, tautomer, or stereoisomer thereof is used in a method of improving memory (e.g., working memory, long-term memory, short-term memory, or memory consolidation) in a subject. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human mammal. In some embodiments, the subject is a domesticated animal. In some embodiments, the subject is a dog. In some embodiments, the subject is a bird. In some embodiments, the subject is a horse. In embodiments, the patient is a bovine. In some embodiments, the subject is a primate.
