[0002] Sequence listing reference The sequence listing, created on February 22, 2021, and filed on February 22, 2021, as a text file named "37930_0006P1_ST25.txt" with a size of 20,293 bytes, is incorporated herein by reference in accordance with Section 1.52(e)(5) of the U.S. Patent Law Enforcement Regulations. [Background technology]
[0003] background Maintaining mitochondrial function is essential for the health and survival of numerous cell types, including cardiomyocytes, hepatocytes, renal cells, and neurons. Abnormal mitochondrial quality control has been demonstrated as a critical factor in the development of neurodegenerative diseases, kidney diseases, and cardiomyopathy (Schapira, AH Mitochondrial disease. Lancet 379, 1825-1834, (2012) (Non-patent Literature 1), and Chen, Y. and Dorn, G. PINK1-Phosphorylated Mitofusin-2 Is a Parkin Receptor for Culling Damaged Mitochondria. Science 340, 471-475, (2013) (Non-patent Literature 2)). The mitochondrial kinase PTEN-inducible kinase 1 (PINK1) plays a crucial role in mitochondrial quality control processes by responding to damage at the individual mitochondrial level. The PINK1 pathway is associated with the induction of mitochondrial neogenesis and, importantly, with the reduction of mitochondrial-induced apoptosis. For example, see Narendra, D.P. et al. PINK1 is selectively stabilized on impaired mitochondria to activate Parkin. PLoS Biol 8, e1000298 (2010) (Non-Patent Literature 3), Wang, X., (2011). et al. PINK1 and Parkin target Miro for phosphorylation and degradation to arrest mitochondrial motility. Cell 147, 893-906, (2011) (Non-Patent Literature 4), and Shin, J.Het al. PARIS (ZNF746) rejection of PGC-1alpha contributes to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. Cell 144, 689-702, (2011) (Non-Patent Literature 5).
[0004] Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, yet there are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies for treating PD. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the progression of apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons, a decrease in dopamine levels, and ultimately PD. PINK1 kinase activity appears to be essential for mediating its neuroprotective activity. The regulation of mitochondrial movement, distribution, and clearance is a crucial part of the neuronal oxidative stress response. Disruption of these regulatory pathways has been shown to contribute to chronic neurodegenerative diseases. See Schapira and Chen above.
[0005] Cardiomyopathy refers to diseases of the myocardial tissue, and it is estimated that 5-10% of the 5-6 million patients already diagnosed with heart failure in the United States have cardiomyopathy. Based on etiology and pathophysiology, the World Health Organization has created a classification of cardiomyopathy, including dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, arrhythmic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and unclassifiable cardiomyopathy. See, for example, Richardson P, et al. Report of the 1995 World Health Organization / International Society and Federation of Cardiology Task Force on the Definition and Classification of cardiomyopathies. Circulation 1996;93:841 (Non-Patent Literature 6). PINK1 kinase activity appears to mediate its cardioprotective activity. Regulation of mitochondrial movement, distribution, and clearance is part of the oxidative stress response of cardiac cells. Disruption of these regulatory pathways has been shown to contribute to cardiomyopathy. See Schapira and Chen above. See Wang, X., (2011) et al. PINK1 and Parkin target Miro for phosphorylation and degradation to arrest mitochondrial motility Cell 147, 893-906, (2011) (Non-patent Literature 4), and Richardson P, et al. Report of the 1995 World Health Organization / International Society and Federation of Cardiology Task Force on the Definition and Classification of cardiomyopathies. Circulation 1996;93:841 (Non-patent Literature 6). Recently, several cases of adult-onset LS have also been reported. For example, Longo, D, et al. Harrison's Internal Medicine. 18 thSee ed. (online), Ch.238 (2011) (Non-Patent Literature 7), Koh, H. & Chung, J. PINK1 as a molecular checkpoint in the maintenance of mitochondrial function and integrity, Mol Cells 34, 7-13, (2012) (Non-Patent Literature 8), Martins-Branco, D. et al. Ubiquitin proteasome system in Parkinson's disease: a keeper or a witness? Exp Neurol 238, 89-99, (2012) (Non-Patent Literature 9), and Geisler, S. et al. The PINK1 / Parkin-mediated mitophagy is compromised by PD-associated mutations. Autophagy 6, 871-878, (2010) (Non-Patent Literature 10).
[0006] In vivo imaging techniques such as MRI can reveal bilateral ultra-high intensity lesions in the basal ganglia, thalamus, substantia nigra, brainstem, cerebellar white matter and cortex, cerebral white matter, or spinal cord in LS patients. For example, see Longo, J. Shin, Het al. PARIS (ZNF746) rejection of PGC-1alpha contributes to neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease. Cell 144, 689-702, (2011) (Non-patent Literature 5), Henchcliffe, C. & Beal, MF Mitochondrial biology and oxidative stress in Parkinson disease pathogenesis. Nat Clin Pract Neurol 4, 600-609 (2008) (Non-patent Literature 11), Pridgeon, J. W. Olzmann, JA Chin, LS & Li, L. PINK1 Protects against Oxidative Stress by Phosphorylating Mitochondrial Chaperone TRAP1. PLoS Biol 5, e172 (2007) (Non-patent Literature 12), and Haque, ME et al. Cytoplasmic Pink1 activity protects neurons from dopaminergic See neurotoxin MPTP. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 105,1716-1721(2008) (Non-patent Literature 13). Lesions are usually associated with gliosis, demyelination, capillary proliferation, and / or necrosis.See Geisler, S. et al. The PINK1 / Parkin-mediated mitophagy is compromised by PD-associated mutations. Autophagy 6, 871-878, (2010) (Non-patent Literature 10), and Gautier, CA, Kitada, T. & Shen, J. Loss of PINK1 causes mitochondrial functional defects and increased sensitivity to oxidative stress. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 105, 11364-11369 (2008) (Non-patent Literature 14). Behavioral symptoms in LS patients include developmental delay (accompanied by a wide variety of clinical symptoms), hypotonia, ataxia, spasticity, dystonia, weakness, optic nerve atrophy, oculomotor or blepharokinetic disorders, hearing impairment, respiratory abnormalities, dysarthria, dysphagia, growth retardation, and gastrointestinal disorders. For example, see Wang and Richardson mentioned above, as well as Samaranch, L. et al. PINK1-linked parkinsonism is associated with Lewy body pathology. Brain 133, 1128-1142, (2010) (Non-patent Literature 15), and Merrick, KA et al. Switching Cdk2 on or off with small molecules to reveal requirements in human cell proliferation. Mol Cell 42, 624-636, (2011) (Non-patent Literature 16). The cause of death in most LS cases is unknown, and the lack of genetic models to study disease progression and mortality hinders the development of appropriate treatments. The prognosis for LS (and most diseases resulting from mitochondrial dysfunction) is very poor, there is no cure, and in many cases, treatment is ineffective.
[0007] Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, yet there are currently no approved disease-modifying therapies for treating PD. Both environmental and genetic factors contribute to the progression of apoptosis in dopaminergic neurons, a decrease in dopamine levels, and ultimately PD. PINK1 kinase activity appears to mediate its neuroprotective activity. The regulation of mitochondrial movement, distribution, and clearance is a crucial part of the neuronal oxidative stress response. Disruption of these regulatory pathways has been shown to contribute to chronic neurodegenerative diseases. See Schapira and Chen above.
[0008] Despite the widespread prevalence of disorders associated with the PINK1 pathway, no compounds have yet been found that selectively target this pathway and therefore can treat disorders associated with it. Consequently, there is still a need for compounds and compositions that can modulate PINK1 kinase activity, as well as methods for their preparation and use.

[0024] Detailed explanation The present invention can be more easily understood by referring to the embodiments for carrying out the invention and the examples included herein.
[0025] Before disclosing and describing the compounds, compositions, articles, systems, devices, and / or methods of the present invention, it should be understood that synthesis methods and reagents can naturally vary and are not limited to specific synthesis methods unless otherwise specified, nor are they limited to specific reagents unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, it should be understood that the terms used herein are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting. Any methods and materials similar to or equivalent to those described herein may be used in the practice or testing of the present invention, but exemplary methods and materials are described herein.
[0026] While embodiments of the present invention may be described and claimed in a specific legal classification, such as a system class, this is merely for convenience, and those skilled in the art will understand that each embodiment of the present invention can be described and claimed in any legal classification. Unless otherwise specified, none of the methods or embodiments described herein are intended to be interpreted as requiring their steps to be performed in a particular order. Therefore, unless it is specifically stated in the claims or descriptions that the steps of a method claim should be limited to a particular order, there is absolutely no intention to imply any order. This also applies to any possible non-specified grounds for interpretation, including logical matters concerning the arrangement of steps or operational flows, simple interpretations arising from grammatical construction or punctuation, or the number or type of embodiments described herein.
[0027] Throughout this application, various publications are referenced. The disclosures of these publications are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety for the purpose of providing a more comprehensive description of the context of the art in which this application pertains. The disclosed references are also incorporated herein by reference individually and specifically, including the material described in the texts on which the references are based. Nothing herein should be construed as an acknowledgment that the present invention does not have prior rights to such publications on the grounds of prior art. Furthermore, publication dates presented herein may differ from actual publication dates and may require individual verification.
[0028] A.Definition The definitions of various terms used to describe the present invention are listed below. These definitions apply throughout this specification wherever those terms are used, whether individually or as part of a larger group, unless they are specifically limited in particular cases.
[0029] Where used herein, the terms “a” or “an” mean “at least one” or “one or more” unless otherwise specified in the context. Where used herein and in the claims, the phrase “and / or” should be understood to mean “either or both” of the elements connected by that phrase, that is, elements that exist in some cases together and elements that exist in other cases separately. Unless otherwise specified, elements other than those specifically identified by the phrase “and / or” may be present at their discretion, whether related to or unrelated to the specifically identified elements. Thus, as a non-restrictive example, when used in conjunction with open-ended phrases such as “comprising,” in various embodiments, A without B (optionally including elements other than B) may be present; in another embodiment, B without A (optionally including elements other than A) may be present; and in yet another embodiment, both A and B (optionally including other elements) may be present, and so on.
[0030] Where used herein and in the claims, “or” should be understood to have the same meaning as “and / or” as defined above. For example, when dividing items in a list, “or” or “and / or” should be interpreted as inclusive, that is, at least one of several elements or lists of elements, but including two or more, and including additional unlisted items of any choice. Only terms that explicitly indicate the opposite, such as “one of” or “exactly one of” or, where used in the claims, “consisting of,” would refer to the inclusion of exactly one element of several elements or lists of elements. In general, where used herein, the term “or” should be interpreted only as indicating an exclusive choice (i.e., “one or the other, but not both”) when preceded by the terms of exclusivity “either,” “one of,” “one of,” or “exactly one of,” and where used in the claims, “essentially consisting of” should have its usual meaning as used in the field of patent law.
[0031] As used herein, “comprising” (and any form of “comprising,” such as “comprise,” “comprises,” and “comprised”), “having” (and any form of “having,” such as “have” and “has”), “including” (and any form of “including,” such as “includes” and “include”), or “containing” (and any form of “containing,” such as “contains” and “contain”) are inclusive, or open, and do not exclude any additional elements or method steps not enumerated.
[0032] Where used herein, the term “about” means that a numerical value is approximate and that small variations will not materially affect the practice of the disclosed embodiments. Where “about” refers to measurable values such as quantity and temporal duration, it is intended to include variations of ±10%, ±5%, ±1%, or ±0.1% from the specified value, as such variations are appropriate for performing the disclosed methods. Where numerical limitations are used, unless otherwise stated in the context, “about” means that the numerical value may vary by ±10%, ±5%, ±4%, ±3%, ±2%, or ±1%, and still remain within the scope of the disclosed embodiments.
[0033] The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meanings in the fields of chemistry and biology. The chemical structures and formulas described herein are constructed in accordance with the standard rules of chemical bond valency known in the field of chemistry.
[0034] In this specification and the concluding claims, any description of parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition indicates the weight relationship between that element or component and any other element or component expressed in parts by weight in the composition or article. That is, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight of component Y, X and Y exist in a weight ratio of 2:5, and this ratio exists regardless of whether further components are present in the compound.
[0035] The weight percentage (W%) of an ingredient is based on the total weight of the preparation or composition containing that ingredient, unless otherwise specified.
[0036] Where used herein, the terms “optional” or “optional” mean that the event or situation described thereafter may or may not occur, and that the description includes both the possibility and the possibility of such event or situation occurring.
[0037] As used herein, the term “diagnosed” means having undergone a physical examination by a person skilled in the art, e.g., a physician, and being found to have a condition that can be diagnosed or treated by the compounds, compositions, or methods disclosed herein. In some embodiments of the methods disclosed, the subject has been diagnosed prior to the administration step as needing treatment for a disorder related to PINK1 kinase activity, e.g., neurodegenerative diseases, mitochondrial diseases, fibrosis, and / or cardiomyopathy. As used herein, phrases such as “identified as needing treatment for a disorder” refer to the selection of a subject based on the need for treatment for a disorder. Identification may, in some embodiments, be performed by a person other than the one making the diagnosis. Furthermore, in further embodiments, administration may be performed by the person who subsequently administers the drug.
[0038] As used herein, the terms “administer” and “dosage” refer to any method of providing a pharmaceutical preparation to a subject. Such methods are well known to those skilled in the art and include, but are not limited to, oral administration, transdermal administration, inhalation administration, nasal administration, topical administration, vaginal administration, eye drops, ear administration, intracerebral administration, rectal administration, and parenteral administration including injections such as intravenous, intra-arterial, intramuscular, and subcutaneous administration. Administration may be continuous or intermittent. In various embodiments, the preparation may be administered therapeutically, i.e., administered to treat an existing disease or condition. In further various embodiments, the preparation may be administered prophylactically, i.e., administered to prevent a disease or symptom. As used herein, the terms “parenteral administration” and “administered parenterally” mean a form of administration other than intestinal and topical administration, usually by injection, and these terms include, but are not limited to, intravenous, intramuscular, intra-arterial, intrathecal, intracapsular, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, intraperitoneal, transtracheal, subcutaneous, subepidermal, intra-articular, subcapsular, subarachnoid, intraspinal, and intrasternal injections and infusions. As used herein, the terms “systemic administration,” “administered systemically,” “peripheral administration,” and “administered peripherally” mean the administration of a compound, drug, or other substance other than direct administration to the central nervous system, such as subcutaneous administration, so that the compound, drug, or other substance enters the patient’s system and therefore undergoes metabolism and other similar processes. In some embodiments, the compound is administered intravenously, intramuscularly, intraarterially, intrathecally, intracapsularly, intraorbitally, intracardiacly, intradermally, intraperitoneally, transtracheally, subcutaneously, subepidermally, intraarticularly, subcapsularly, subarachnoidally, intraspineally, and intrasternally, or by injection or infusion.
[0039] As used herein, the term “to bring into contact” means bringing a disclosed compound together with a cell, target receptor, or other biological entity in a manner that allows the compound to influence the activity of the target (e.g., a receptor, cell, etc.), whether directly, i.e., by interacting with the target itself, or indirectly, i.e., by interacting with another molecule, cofactor, factor, or protein on which the activity of the target depends.
[0040] When used herein, "IC 50 " is intended to indicate the concentration of a substance (e.g., a compound or drug) required to inhibit a biological process or its components by 50%, including proteins, subunits, organelles, ribonucleoproteins, etc. In some embodiments, IC is used to indicate the concentration of a substance required to inhibit a biological process or its components by 50%. 50 This may indicate the concentration of the substance required to achieve 50% in vivo inhibition, as further defined elsewhere in this specification.
[0041] When used herein, "EC 50 " is intended to indicate the concentration of a substance (e.g., a compound or drug) that causes a biological process, or a maximum of half of the components of a process, to respond (i.e., 50% of the maximum response), including proteins, subunits, organelles, ribonucleoproteins, etc. In some embodiments, EC 50 This may indicate the concentration of the substance required to achieve 50% of the maximum response in vivo, as further defined elsewhere in this specification.
[0042] The compounds according to this disclosure can form prodrugs using hydroxyl or amino functional groups, such as alkoxy or amino acid groups, as prodrug-forming moieties. For example, the hydroxymethyl position can form mono, di, or triphopherates, and again, these phosphates can form prodrugs. The preparation of such prodrug derivatives has been described in various literatures (e.g., Alexander et al., J.Med.Chem. 1988, 31, 318; Aligas-Martin et al., PCT WO2000 / 041531, p.30). The nitrogen functional group converted in the preparation of these derivatives is one (or more) nitrogen atoms of the compounds according to this disclosure.
[0043] The “derivatives” of the compounds disclosed herein include pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, deuterated forms, radiolabeled forms, isomers, solvates, and combinations thereof. In this context, “combinations” refers to derivatives that are included in at least two of the following groups: pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs, deuterated forms, radiolabeled forms, isomers, and solvates. Examples of radiolabeled forms include compounds labeled with tritium, phosphorus-32, iodine-129, carbon-11, fluorine-18, etc.
[0044] The term "leaving group" refers to an atom (or group of atoms) that has electron-withdrawing ability and can be replaced as a stable species, taking into account the bonding electrons. Suitable examples of leaving groups include sulfonic acid esters, such as triflates, mesylates, tosylates, brosylates, and halides.
[0045] As used herein, the term “substituted” is intended to include all permissible substituents of an organic compound. In broad embodiments, permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, and aromatic and non-aromatic substituents of an organic compound. Exemplary substituents are, for example, those listed below. There may be one or more permissible substituents for a given organic compound, and they may be the same or different. For the purposes of this disclosure, heteroatoms such as nitrogen may have hydrogen substituents and / or any permissible substituents of the organic compounds described herein that satisfy the valence of the heteroatom. This disclosure is by no means intended to limit itself to permissible substituents of organic compounds. Furthermore, the terms “substituted” or “substituted with” imply that such substitution conforms to the permissible valences of the atom being substituted and the substituent, and that the substitution results in a stable compound, such as a compound that does not undergo spontaneous transformation by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, unless explicitly stated otherwise, it is intended that individual substituents may be further optionally substituted (i.e., either further substituted or unsubstituted).
[0046] In the definition of various terms, "A 1 "A 2 "A 3 ", and "A 4 The symbols 'A' and 'B' are used herein as generic symbols to represent various specific substituents. These symbols are not limited to those disclosed herein and can represent any substituent; in some cases they may be defined as a specific substituent, while in other cases they may be defined as any other substituent.
[0047] As used herein, the terms "halo" and "halogen" refer to atoms selected from fluorine (fluoro, -F), chlorine (chloro, -Cl), bromine (bromo, -Br), and iodine (iod, -I).
[0048] As used herein, the terms “aliphatic” or “aliphatic group” mean a hydrocarbon moiety that may be linear (i.e., unbranched), branched, or cyclic (including condensed, cross-linked, and spiro-condensed polycyclic) and may be fully saturated or contain one or more non-aromatic unsaturated units. Unless otherwise specified, an aliphatic group has 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Aliphatic groups include, but are not limited to, linear or branched alkyl groups, alkenyl groups, and alkynyl groups, as well as their hybrids, e.g., (cycloalkyl)alkyl, (cycloalkenyl)alkyl, or (cycloalkyl)alkenyl.
[0049] As used herein, the term “alkyl” refers to a monovalent saturated linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, unless otherwise specified. Examples of alkyl radicals include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, tert-pentyl, neopentyl, sec-pentyl, 3-pentyl, sec-isopentyl, hexyl, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, and 2,3-dimethylbutane. Alkyl groups may be substituted or unsubstituted. For example, alkyl groups may be substituted with one or more groups, including but not limited to alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy, amino, ether, halide, hydroxy, nitro, silyl, sulfo-oxo, or thiol, as described herein. A “lower alkyl” group is an alkyl group having 1 to 6 (e.g., 1 to 4) carbon atoms. The term alkyl group can also refer to alkyl groups including C1-C24 and below, such as C1 alkyl, C1-C2 alkyl, C1-C3 alkyl, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C5 alkyl, C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C7 alkyl, C1-C8 alkyl, C1-C9 alkyl, C1-C10 alkyl, and so on.
[0050] Throughout this specification, “alkyl” is generally used to refer to both unsubstituted and substituted alkyl groups, but substituted alkyl groups are also referred to specifically herein by specifying a particular substituent(s) on the alkyl group. For example, the terms “haloalkyl” or “haloalkyl” specifically refer to an alkyl group substituted with one or more halides, e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. Alternatively, the term “monohaloalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group substituted with a single halide, e.g., fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The term “polyhaloalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group independently substituted with two or more halides, i.e., each halide substituent does not have to be the same halide as the other halide substituent, nor do multiple instances of halide substituents have to be on the same carbon. The term “alkoxyalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group substituted with one or more alkoxy groups, as described below. The term “aminoalkyl” specifically refers to an alkyl group substituted with one or more amino groups. The term "hydroxyalkyl" specifically refers to an alkyl group substituted with one or more hydroxyl groups. When "alkyl" is used in one context and a specific term such as "hydroxyalkyl" is used in another, this is not intended to imply that the term "alkyl" does not refer to a specific term such as "hydroxyalkyl."
[0051] This convention also applies to other groups described herein. That is, while terms such as “cycloalkyl” refer to both the unsubstituted and substituted cycloalkyl moieties, these substituted moieties may also be specifically identified herein; for example, certain substituted cycloalkyls may be referred to as, for example, “alkylcycloalkyl.” Similarly, substituted alkoxys may be specifically referred to as, for example, “halogenated alkoxy,” and certain substituted alkenyls may be, for example, “alkenyl alcohols.” Again, the convention of using general terms such as “cycloalkyl” and specific terms such as “alkylcycloalkyl” is not intended to imply that the general terms do not include the specific terms.
[0052] As used herein, the term "alkenyl" refers to a hydrocarbon group having 2 to 24 carbon atoms and having a structural formula containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond. (A 1 A 2 )C=C(A 3 A 4 Asymmetric structures such as ) are intended to include both E and Z isomers. This can be inferred in the structural formulas herein, where an asymmetric alkene is present or may be explicitly indicated by the bond symbol C=C.

[0088] Disease, disorder, and condition are used synonymously in this specification.
[0089] As used herein, the terms “treatment,” “to treat,” and “to treat” mean to reverse, alleviate, delay the onset of, or inhibit the progression of a disease or disorder, or one or more of its symptoms, as described herein. In some embodiments, treatment may be administered after the onset of one or more symptoms, i.e., therapeutic treatment. In other embodiments, treatment may be administered in the absence of symptoms. For example, treatment may be administered to a susceptible individual before the onset of symptoms (e.g., considering a history of symptoms and / or exposure to a particular organism or other susceptibility factor), i.e., prophylactic treatment. Treatment may also be continued after the resolution of symptoms, for example, to delay their recurrence.
[0090] As used herein, the terms “prevent” or “prevention” mean making something impossible, avoiding, preventing, stopping, halting, or hindering the occurrence of something, particularly through prior action. Naturally, when “mitigate,” “suppress,” or “prevent” are used herein, the use of the other two terms is also explicitly disclosed unless otherwise stated. The term “prevention” means preventing the occurrence of a disease, disorder, or condition in a person or animal that may have a predisposition to such a disease, disorder, or condition but has not yet been diagnosed with one.
[0091] The term “effective dose” or “therapeutic effective dose” refers to a quantity sufficient to achieve a desired outcome (e.g., a quantity that elicits a biological or medical response in the subject; e.g., a dosage of 0.01–100 mg / kg body weight / day) or sufficient to have an effect on an undesirable condition. For example, “therapeutic effective dose” refers to a quantity sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic outcome or sufficient to have an effect on an undesirable symptom. In some embodiments, “therapeutic effective dose” refers to a quantity that is sufficient to achieve a desired therapeutic outcome or sufficient to have an effect on an undesirable symptom, but is generally insufficient to cause adverse side effects. The specific therapeutic effective dose level for any particular patient will depend on various factors, including the disorder being treated and its severity; the specific composition used; the patient’s age, weight, overall health, sex, and diet; the time of administration; the route of administration; the elimination rate of the specific compound used; the duration of treatment; drugs used in combination with or concurrently with the specific compound used; and other factors well known in the pharmaceutical field. For example, it is well within the scope of the art to start administration of a compound at a level lower than necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic effect and gradually increase the dosage until the desired effect is achieved. If desired, an effective daily dose can be divided into multiple doses for the purpose of administration. Thus, a single-dose composition may contain the amount that constitutes a daily dose, or a divided amount thereof. The dosage is adjustable by the individual physician in the event of any contraindications. The dosage is modifiable and is administered once or more times a day over a day or several days. Guidelines can be found in the literature on appropriate dosages for a given class of pharmaceutical products. In various further embodiments, the preparation may be administered in a “preventive effective dose,” i.e., an amount effective for the prevention of a disease or condition.
[0092] As used herein, the term “salt” refers to an acid salt or base salt of a compound used in the methods of this disclosure. Specific examples of acceptable salts include salts of mineral acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, and phosphoric acid), salts of organic acids (such as acetic acid, propionic acid, glutamic acid, and citric acid), and salts of quaternary ammonium compounds (such as methyl iodide and ethyl iodide).
[0093] The terms “subject” and “patient” may be used synonymously and refer to mammals in need of treatment, such as companion animals (e.g., dogs, cats, etc.), livestock (e.g., cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, etc.), and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, etc.). In some embodiments, the subject is a human being in need of treatment. In some embodiments, “patient” or “subject in need” refers to an organism suffering from or susceptible to a disease or condition that can be treated by administration of a compound or pharmaceutical composition as provided herein. Non-limiting examples include humans, other mammals, bovines, rats, mice, dogs, monkeys, goats, sheep, cows, deer, and non-mammalian animals. In some embodiments, the patient is a human being.
[0094] The terms "associated" or "associated with" mean, in the context of a substance or the activity or function of a substance associated with a disease (e.g., a protein-associated disease, a symptom associated with cardiomyopathy, a neurodegenerative disease, or a symptom associated with Parkinson's disease), that the disease (e.g., cardiomyopathy, a neurodegenerative disease, or Parkinson's disease) is caused (in whole or in part) by the substance or the activity or function of a substance, or that the symptoms of the disease are caused (in whole or in part) by the substance or the activity or function of a substance. For example, symptoms of a disease or condition associated with a decreased PINK1 activity level may be symptoms that are (in whole or in part) caused by a decreased PINK1 activity level (e.g., a functional mutation or gene deletion or regulation of the PINK1 signaling pathway). As used herein, what is described as associated with a disease may be a therapeutic target of the disease if it is the causative substance. For example, a disease associated with PINK1 may be treated with an agent (e.g., a compound described herein) that is effective in increasing the activity level of PINK1.
[0095] The terms "control" or "controlled experiment" are used according to their simple, ordinary meaning, referring to an experiment in which the subject or reagents of the experiment are treated as a parallel experiment, except for the omission of experimental procedures, reagents, or variables. In some cases, the control is used as a criterion for comparison in the evaluation of experimental effects.
[0096] "Contacting" is used in its plain, ordinary sense and refers to a process that allows at least two distinct species (e.g., chemical compounds containing biomolecules, or cells) to come close enough to react, interact, or physically touch. However, it should be understood that the resulting reactive organism may be produced directly from the reaction of the added reagents, or from intermediates derived from one or more of the added reagents that may be produced in the reaction mixture. The term "contacting" may also include causing two species to react, interact, or physically touch, and these two species may be the compounds and proteins or enzymes described herein (e.g., PINK1). In some embodiments, contacting includes causing the compounds described herein to interact with proteins or enzymes involved in a signaling pathway.
[0097] As defined herein, terms such as “inhibition,” “to inhibit,” and “to inhibit” in relation to the interaction between a protein and an inhibitor (e.g., an antagonist) mean that the inhibitor negatively affects (e.g., reduces) the activity or function of the protein compared to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the inhibitor. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to the alleviation of a disease or the symptoms of a disease. In some embodiments, inhibition refers to a reduction in the activity of a signaling pathway or signaling pathway. Thus, inhibition includes, at least in part, partially or completely blocking a stimulus, reducing, preventing or delaying activation, or inactivating, desensitizing or downregulating signaling or enzyme activity or the amount of a protein.
[0098] The symbol TIFF2026067907000077.tif4128 represents a bond point between a chemical part and the rest of a molecule or chemical formula.
[0099] As defined herein, terms such as “activation,” “to activate,” and “to activate” in relation to the interaction between a protein and an activator (e.g., an agonist) mean that the activity or function of a protein (e.g., PINK1) has a positive effect (e.g., increases) compared to the activity or function of the protein in the absence of the activator (e.g., a compound described herein). In several embodiments, activation refers to an increase in the activity of a signaling pathway or signaling pathway (e.g., the PINK1 pathway). Thus, activation may include, at least in part, increasing a stimulus partially or entirely, increasing or enabling activation, or activating, sensitizing, or upregulating reduced signaling or enzyme activity or protein levels in a disease (e.g., decreased PINK1 activity or protein levels associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as cardiomyopathy or Parkinson's disease). Activation may include, at least partially, increasing a stimulus, increasing or enabling activation, or activating, sensitizing, or upregulating the amount of signaling or enzymatic activity or protein (e.g., PINK1) that can modulate the level of another protein or increase cell viability (e.g., increased PINK1 activity may increase cell viability in cells that may or may not have decreased PINK1 activity compared to non-disease controls).
[0100] The term “modulator” refers to a composition that increases or decreases the level or function of a target molecule. In some embodiments, the modulator is a PINK1 modulator. In some embodiments, the modulator is a PINK1 modulator and is a compound that reduces the severity of one or more symptoms of a PINK1-related disease (e.g., by reducing the level of PINK1 activity or protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as cardiomyopathy or Parkinson's disease). In some embodiments, the modulator is a compound that reduces the severity of one or more symptoms of a cardiomyopathy or neurodegenerative disease, which are not caused by or characterized by PINK1 (e.g., loss of PINK1 function), but in which the modulation of PINK1 activity (e.g., an increase in PINK1 levels or PINK1 activity levels) may be effective.
[0101] "Disease" or "condition" means a condition or health state of a patient or subject that can be treated with the compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, or methods provided herein. In some embodiments, the disease is a disease associated with (e.g., characterized by) a decrease in PINK1 levels. In some embodiments, the disease is a disease characterized by the loss of dopamine-producing cells (e.g., Parkinson's disease). In some embodiments, the disease is a disease characterized by neurodegeneration. In some embodiments, the disease is a disease characterized by neuronal cell death. In some embodiments, the disease is a disease characterized by a decrease in PINK1 activity levels. In some embodiments, the disease is Parkinson's disease. In some embodiments, the disease is a neurodegenerative disease. In some embodiments, the disease is cardiomyopathy.
[0102] As used herein, the term “cardiomyopathy” refers to a condition that adversely affects cardiac cell tissue, resulting in a measurable deterioration of myocardial function (e.g., systolic and diastolic function). Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by ventricular enlargement without hypertrophy, accompanied by systolic dysfunction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. Morphologically, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is characterized by a hypertrophied left ventricle without dilation. Restrictive cardiomyopathy is characterized by ventricular filling impairment due to reduced ventricular volume, although it is morphologically neither dilated nor hypertrophied. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a hereditary heart disorder characterized by electrical instability of the myocardium. Unclassifiable cardiomyopathy is a category of cardiomyopathy that does not conform to the characteristics of any of the other types. Unclassifiable cardiomyopathy may have characteristics of multiple types, or it may have, for example, fibroelasticity, impaired noncompaction, or systolic dysfunction with only slight dilation.
[0103] As used herein, the term “neurodegenerative disease” refers to a disease or condition in which the function of the nervous system in question is impaired.

[0108] The pharmaceutical compositions provided herein include compositions containing an active ingredient (e.g., a compound described herein, including embodiments or examples) in a therapeutically effective amount, i.e., an amount effective to achieve its intended purpose. The actual amount effective for a particular use depends, among other things, on the condition being treated. When administered in a method of treating a disease, such compositions will contain an amount of the active ingredient effective to achieve the desired result, e.g., modulation of the activity of a target molecule (e.g., PINK1), and / or reduction, elimination, or slowing of the progression of symptoms of the disease (e.g., symptoms of cardiomyopathy or neurodegenerative disease, e.g., symptoms of Parkinson's disease). Determining the therapeutically effective amount of the compounds of this disclosure is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art, particularly in light of the detailed disclosure herein.
[0109] The dosage and frequency (single or multiple doses) administered to mammals may vary depending on various factors, such as whether the mammal has another disease and the route of administration; the recipient's size, age, sex, health status, weight, body type index, and diet; the nature and severity of the symptoms of the disease being treated (e.g., symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases such as cardiomyopathy or Parkinson's disease, and the severity of such symptoms), the type of concomitant therapy, complications arising from the disease being treated, or other health-related problems. Other treatment regimens or therapeutic agents may be used in combination with the methods and compounds disclosed by the applicant. Adjustments and manipulations of established dosages (e.g., frequency and duration) are well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.
[0110] For any of the compounds described herein, the therapeutically effective dose can first be determined by a cell culture assay. The target concentration is the concentration of the active compound(s) that can achieve the method described herein when measured using the methods described herein or known in the art.
[0111] As is well known in the art, the therapeutically effective dose for use in humans can also be determined from animal models. For example, the dose used in humans can be formulated to achieve a concentration known to be effective in animals. The dosage in humans can be adjusted by monitoring the efficacy of the compound and adjusting the dosage upward or downward as described above. Adjusting the dose to achieve maximum efficacy in humans based on the above and other methods is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.
[0112] Dosage may vary depending on the patient and the requirements of the compound used. In relation to this disclosure, the dose administered to the patient should be sufficient to produce a beneficial therapeutic response over time. The magnitude of the dose will also be determined by the presence, nature, and severity of adverse side effects. Determining the appropriate dosage for a particular situation is within the scope of the physician's skill. Generally, treatment is initiated with a small dose, less than the optimal dose of the compound. The dose is then gradually increased until the optimal effect is achieved under those circumstances.
[0113] The dosage and interval of administration can be individually adjusted to deliver levels of the administered compound that are effective for the specific clinical symptoms being treated. This provides a treatment regimen that is tailored to the severity of the individual's condition.
[0114] Using the teachings provided herein, effective prophylactic or therapeutic regimens can be planned that are substantially non-toxic and effective in treating clinical symptoms observed in specific patients. This planning must involve careful selection of the active compound, taking into account factors such as the compound's potency, relative bioavailability, patient weight, presence and severity of adverse side effects, preferred administration method, and the toxicity profile of the chosen drug.
[0115] The compounds described herein may be used in combination with other activators known to be useful in the treatment of disease-related neurodegeneration (e.g., Parkinson's disease agents such as levodopa, dopamine agonists (e.g., bromocriptine, pergolide, pramipexole, ropinirole, pyribezil, cabergoline, apomorphine, rislid), MAO-B inhibitors (e.g., selegiline or rasagiline), amantadine, anticholinergics, schizophrenia agents (e.g., clozapine), cholinesterase inhibitors, modafinil, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or in combination with adjuvants that may not be effective on their own but may contribute to the efficacy of the activators.
[0116] The compounds described herein may be used in combination with other activators known to be useful in the treatment of cardiomyopathy, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (e.g., enalipril, lisinopril), angiotensin receptor blockers (e.g., losartan, valsartan), beta-blockers (e.g., Lopressor, Toprol-XL), digoxin, or diuretics (e.g., Lasix), disease-related neurodegenerative agents (e.g., Parkinson's disease agents), such as levodopa, dopamine agonists, etc. For example, it may be used in combination with bromocriptine, pergolide, pramipexole, ropinirole, pyribezil, cabergoline, apomorphine, rislide), MAO-B inhibitors (e.g., selegiline or rasagiline), amantadine, anticholinergics, antipsychotics (e.g., clozapine), cholinesterase inhibitors, modafinil, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), or in combination with adjuvants that may not be effective on their own but may contribute to the efficacy of the activator.
[0117] In some embodiments, simultaneous administration includes administering one activator within approximately 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, or 24 hours of administering a second activator. Simultaneous administration includes administering two activators simultaneously, nearly simultaneously (e.g., within approximately 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, or 30 minutes of each other), or sequentially in any order. In some embodiments, simultaneous administration can be achieved by co-formulation, i.e., by preparing a single pharmaceutical composition containing both activators. In other embodiments, the activators may be formulated separately. In some embodiments, the activators and / or adjuvants may be linked or conjugated to each other. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein may be combined with neurodegenerative treatments such as surgery. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein may be combined with cardiomyopathy treatments such as surgery.

[0253] pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds are conventional acid-addition salts or base-addition salts formed from suitable non-toxic organic or inorganic acids or organic or inorganic bases, retaining the biological efficacy and properties of the compound. Examples of acid-addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, sulfamidic acid, phosphoric acid, and nitric acid, as well as organic acids such as p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, methanesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and fumaric acid. Examples of base-addition salts include those derived from ammonium, potassium, sodium, and quaternary ammonium hydroxides, such as tetramethylammonium hydroxide. Chemical modification of pharmaceutical compounds into salts is a known technique for improving the physical and chemical stability, hygroscopicity, fluidity, and solubility of compounds. For example, see pages 196 and 1456-1457 of H. Ansel et al., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems (6th Ed. 1995).
[0254] Pharmaceutical compositions contain a compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier refers to a sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solution, suspension, or emulsion, as well as a sterile powder for reconstitution into a sterile injection or dispersant immediately before use. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents, or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, etc.), carboxymethylcellulose and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (e.g., olive oil, etc.), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Compounds can be formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent, as well as any other known adjuvants and excipients, in accordance with the prior art, for example, disclosed in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 19th Edition, Gennaro, Ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1995. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" is recognized in the art and includes pharmaceutically acceptable materials, compositions, or vehicles suitable for administering the compounds of the present invention to mammals. The carrier includes liquid or solid fillers, diluents, excipients, solvents, or encapsulating materials involved in transporting or delivering the drug of the subject from one organ or body part to another. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense that it is compatible with other components of the formulation and is not harmful to the patient.Some examples of materials that can function as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include sugars, e.g., lactose, glucose, and sucrose; starches, e.g., corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives, e.g., sodium carboxymethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, and cellulose acetate; tragacanth powder; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients, e.g., cocoa butter and suppository wax; oils, e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil; glycols, e.g., propylene glycol; polyols, e.g., glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene glycol; esters, e.g., ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffers, e.g., magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; phosphate buffer solution; and other non-toxic compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in E.W. Martin's "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences," which is incorporated entirely herein by reference.
[0255] Wetting agents, emulsifiers, and lubricants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as colorants, release agents, coating agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, fragrances, preservatives, and antioxidants may also be present in this composition.
[0256] Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable antioxidants include water-soluble antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, cysteine hydrochloride, sodium bisulfate, sodium metabisulfite, and sodium sulfite; oil-soluble antioxidants such as ascorbyl palmitate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), lecithin, propyl gallate, and α-tocopherol; and metal chelating agents such as citric acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), sorbitol, tartaric acid, and phosphoric acid.
[0257] The formulations of the present invention include those suitable for oral, intranasal, topical, buccal, sublingual, rectal, vaginal, and / or parenteral administration. The formulations may be conveniently presented in unit dosage forms and may be prepared by any method well known in the field of pharmacy. The amount of active ingredient that can be combined with a carrier material to yield a single dosage form is generally the amount of the compound that produces the therapeutic effect. Generally, out of 100 percent, this amount is in the range of about 1 percent to about 99 percent, preferably about 5 percent to about 70 percent, and most preferably about 10 percent to about 30 percent, of the active ingredient. Methods for preparing these formulations or compositions include the step of associating the compounds of the present invention with a carrier and, optionally, one or more minor components. Generally, formulations are prepared by homogeneously and closely associating the compounds of the present invention with a liquid carrier, or a pulverized solid carrier, or both, and then shaping the product as needed.
[0258] Formulations of the present invention suitable for oral administration may be in the form of capsules, cachets, pills, tablets, lozenges (using a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth), powders, granules, or solutions or suspensions in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids, or as oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, or as elixirs or syrups, or as pastils (using an inert base, e.g., gelatin and glycerin, or sucrose and acacia), and / or mouthwashes, each containing a predetermined amount of the compound of the present invention as an active ingredient. The compounds of the present disclosure may also be administered as boluses, licks, or pastes.
[0259] The present invention provides a solid dosage form for oral administration (capsules, tablets, pills, sugar-coated tablets, powders, granules, etc.) in which the active ingredient is one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, e.g., sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate, and / or fillers or expanders, e.g., starch, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and / or silicic acid, binders, e.g., carboxymethylcellulose, alginate, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and / or acacia, humectants, e.g., glycerol, disintegrants, e.g., agar. It is mixed with any of the following: calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, dissolution retarders such as paraffin, absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium compounds, wetting agents such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycol, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof, and colorants. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the pharmaceutical composition may also include a buffer. Similar types of solid compositions may also be used as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules with excipients such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycol.
[0260] Tablets may be prepared by compression or molding, with one or more optional adjuncts. Compressed tablets may be prepared using a binder (e.g., gelatin or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a lubricant, an inert diluent, a preservative, a disintegrant (e.g., sodium starch glycolate or cross-linked carboxymethylcellulose sodium), a surfactant, or a dispersant. Molded tablets may be prepared by molding a mixture of powder compounds moistened with an inert liquid diluent using a suitable machine.
[0261] The tablets and other solid dosage forms of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, such as sugar-coated tablets, capsules, pills, and granules, may optionally be scored or prepared using coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the field of pharmaceutical formulation. These may also be formulated to provide sustained or controlled release of the active ingredient therein, using, for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (used in various proportions to provide a desired release profile), other polymer matrices, liposomes, catanionic vesicles, and / or microspheres. They may be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter or by incorporating a sterilizer in the form of a sterile solid composition that can be dissolved in sterile water or other sterile injection medium immediately before use. These compositions may optionally also contain an opaque agent and may be composed to release the active ingredient(s) only to the gastrointestinal tract, or preferentially to a specific part of the gastrointestinal tract, in an optionally delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymer substances and waxes. The active ingredient may also be encapsulated in microencapsulations, if appropriate, together with one or more of the excipients mentioned above.
[0262] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration of the compounds of the present invention include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs. In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may include inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water or other solvents, solubilizers and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (especially cottonseed oil, peanut oil, corn oil, germ oil, olive oil, castor oil, and sesame oil), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and sorbitan fatty acid esters, as well as mixtures thereof.
[0263] In addition to inert diluents, oral compositions may also contain adjuvants such as humectants, emulsifiers and suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, colorants, fragrances, and preservatives. Suspensions may include, in addition to the active compound, suspending agents such as ethoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar, and tragacanth, as well as mixtures thereof.
[0264] Formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention for rectal or vaginal administration may be presented as suppositories, which may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the present invention with one or more suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, suppository wax, or salicylates, which are solid at room temperature but become liquid at body temperature, and therefore dissolve in the rectum or vaginal cavity, releasing the active compounds. Formulations of the present invention suitable for vaginal administration also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations containing carriers known to be suitable in the art. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of the compounds of the present invention include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches, and inhalants. The active compounds may be mixed under sterile conditions with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and any preservatives, buffers, or propellants as needed.
[0265] Ointments, pastes, creams, and gels may contain, in addition to the active compounds of the present invention, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffin, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycol, silicone, bentonite, silicic acid, talc, and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof. Powders and sprays may contain, in addition to the compounds of the present invention, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate, and polyamide powders, or mixtures thereof. Sprays may further contain conventional propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons, as well as volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons such as butane and propane.
[0266] Transdermal patches offer the additional advantage of providing controlled delivery of the compounds of the present invention into the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared by dissolving or dispersing the compounds in a suitable culture medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flow of the compounds across the skin. The rate of such flow can be controlled by providing a rate-controlled membrane or by dispersing the active compounds in a polymer matrix or gel.
[0267] Ophthalmic preparations, eye ointments, powders, solutions, etc., are also intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
[0268] A pharmaceutical composition of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration comprises one or more compounds of the present invention in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or non-aqueous aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders that can be reconstituted into sterile injection solutions or dispersions immediately before use, which may include antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatic agents, solutes that are isotonic with the blood of the recipient of the formulation, or suspending agents or thickeners. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers that can be used in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Appropriate fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.
[0269] These compositions may contain adjuvants such as preservatives, humectants, emulsifiers, and dispersants. Prevention of microbial activity can be ensured by the inclusion of various antimicrobial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, and phenolsorbic acid. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars and sodium chloride in the composition. In addition, sustained absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form can be achieved by including absorption-delaying agents such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0270] In some cases, it is desirable to delay the absorption of a drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in order to prolong its effects. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of a low-water-soluble crystalline or amorphous material. Therefore, the absorption rate of a drug depends on its dissolution rate, which in turn may depend 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.
[0271] Depot formulations for injection are prepared by forming a microcapsule matrix of the target compound in a biodegradable polymer such as polylactide-polyglycolide. The drug release rate can be controlled depending on the ratio of the drug to the polymer and the properties of the specific polymer used. Other examples of biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoester) and poly(anhydrous). Depot formulations for injection can also be prepared by encapsulating the drug in liposomes or microemulsions compatible with body tissues.
[0272] The preparations of the present invention may be administered orally, parenterally, topically, or rectally. Needless to say, they are administered in a form suitable for each route of administration. For example, they may be administered in tablet or capsule form, by injection, inhalation, ophthalmic lotion, ointment, suppository, etc., by injection, infusion, or inhalation, topically by lotion or ointment, or rectally by suppository. Oral and / or intravenous administration is preferred.
[0273] In further embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered to a mammal. In further embodiments, the mammal is a human. In yet another embodiment, the human is a patient.
[0274] In further embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered after identifying mammals that require treatment for disorders related to PINK1 kinase activity. In further embodiments, the mammals are diagnosed with requiring treatment for disorders related to PINK1 kinase activity prior to the administration step.
[0275] In various embodiments, the disclosed pharmaceutical compositions comprise a disclosed compound (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) as an active ingredient, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, and optionally other therapeutic ingredients or adjuvants. The compositions of the present invention include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, and parenteral (including subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intravenous) administration, but in any case, the optimal route will depend on the specific host and the nature and severity of the condition for which the active ingredient is administered. The pharmaceutical compositions can be conveniently provided in unit dosage forms and can be formulated by any method well known in the pharmaceutical field.
[0276] The choice of carrier will be determined in part by the specific method used to administer the composition. Therefore, a wide variety of suitable formulations exist for the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.

The tablet form may contain lactose, sucrose, mannitol, corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid, microcrystalline cellulose, acacia, gelatin, guar gum, colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, zinc stearate, stearic acid, and one or more other excipients, colorants, diluents, buffers, disintegrants, wetting agents, preservatives, flavoring agents, and pharmacokinetically compatible carriers. The lozenge form may contain the active ingredient in a flavoring agent, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; the pastille form may contain the active ingredient in an inert base, e.g., gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia; the emulsion and gel form may contain additional active ingredients in an inert base, e.g., gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia; and the emulsion and gel form may contain carriers known in the art in addition to the active ingredient.
[0278] The compounds of this disclosure can be used alone or in combination with other suitable ingredients to form aerosol formulations for administration by inhalation. Such aerosol formulations can be encapsulated in a pressurized, acceptable propellant, such as dichlorodifluoromethane, propane, and nitrogen. These can also be formulated, for example, as pharmaceuticals for use in non-pressurized preparations contained in nebulizers or atomizers.
[0279] Suitable formulations for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions and aqueous and non-aqueous sterile suspensions. The injection solutions may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostatic agents, and solutes to make the formulation isotonic with the blood of the target recipient. The suspensions may contain suspending agents, solubilizers, thickeners, stabilizers, and preservatives. The compound may be administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as a sterile liquid or mixture of liquids containing water, physiological saline, dextrose aqueous solution, and related sugar solution, with or without a pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant, such as soap or detergent; a suspending agent, such as pectin, carbomer, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, or carboxymethylcellulose, or an emulsifier; and other pharmaceutically acceptable diluents, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as water, physiological saline, dextrose aqueous solution, and related sugar solution; an alcohol, such as ethanol, isopropanol, or hexadecyl alcohol; a glycol, such as propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol such as poly(ethylene glycol) 400; a glycerol ketal, such as 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-methanol; an ether; an oil; a fatty acid; a fatty acid ester or glyceride; or an acetylated fatty acid glyceride.
[0280] Oils that can be used in parenteral formulations include petroleum, animal oils, vegetable oils, or synthetic oils. Specific examples of oils include peanut oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, olive oil, petroleum, and mineral oil. Fatty acids suitable for use in parenteral formulations include oleic acid, stearic acid, and isostearic acid. Ethyl oleate and isopropyl myristate are examples of suitable fatty acid esters. Suitable soaps for use in parenteral formulations include fatty alkali metals, ammonium compounds, and triethanolamine salts, and suitable surfactants include (a) cationic surfactants, such as dimethyldialkylammonium halides and alkylpyridinium halides; (b) anionic surfactants, such as alkyl, aryl, and olefin sulfonates, alkylolefins, ethers, and monoglyceride sulfates, and sulfosuccinates; (c) nonionic surfactants, such as fatty amine oxides, fatty acid alkanolamides, and polyoxyethylene polypropylene copolymers; (d) amphoteric surfactants, such as alkyl β-aminopropionates and 2-alkylimidazoline quaternary ammonium salts; and (e) mixtures thereof.
[0281] Parenteral formulations typically contain about 0.5% to about 25% by weight of the active ingredient in the solution. Suitable preservatives and buffers can be used in such formulations. For the purpose of minimizing or eliminating irritation at the injection site, such compositions may contain one or more nonionic surfactants having a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of about 12 to about 17. The amount of surfactant in such formulations is in the range of about 5% to about 15% by weight. Suitable surfactants include polyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, such as sorbitan monooleate, and high molecular weight adducts of ethylene oxide and hydrophobic bases formed by the condensation of propylene oxide and propylene glycol.
[0282] Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are also well known to those skilled in the art. The selection of excipients will be determined in part by the specific compound and the specific method used to administer the composition. Therefore, a wide variety of suitable formulations exist for the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention. The following methods and excipients are illustrative and not limiting. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are preferably those that do not interfere with the action of the active ingredient and do not cause adverse side effects. Suitable carriers and excipients include solvents such as water, alcohol, and propylene glycol, as well as solid absorbents and diluents, surfactants, suspending agents, tablet binders, lubricants, flavoring agents, and colorants.
[0283] The formulations can be provided in sealed containers of unit or multiple doses, such as ampoules and vials, and can be stored under lyophilized conditions requiring only the addition of a sterile liquid excipient for injection, such as water, immediately before use. Immediate injection solutions and suspensions can be prepared from sterile powders, granules, and tablets. The requirements for effective pharmaceutical carriers for injection compositions are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0286] Those skilled in the art will understand that suitable methods are available for administering the compounds of this disclosure to animals from outside the body, and that while two or more routes may be available for administering a particular compound, one particular route may produce a more immediate and effective response than another.
[0287] With regard to these applications, the methods of the present invention involve administering a therapeutically effective dose of a compound effective for the treatment (e.g., prevention or treatment) of a disorder related to PINK1 kinase activity to an animal, more specifically a mammal, and more specifically a human. The methods also include administering a therapeutically effective dose of a compound for the treatment of a patient who is predisposed to suffering from a disorder related to PINK1 kinase activity. In connection with the present invention, the dose administered to an animal, particularly a human, should be sufficient to produce a therapeutic response in the animal over a reasonable time frame. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the dosage depends on a variety of factors, including the animal's condition, its body weight, and the severity and stage of the disorder.
[0288] The total amount of the compounds of this disclosure administered in a typical treatment is preferably about 1 mg / kg to about 100 mg / kg body weight per day for mice, about 10 mg / kg to about 50 mg / kg body weight and about 20 mg / kg to about 40 mg / kg body weight per day for humans. This total amount is typically administered as a series of smaller doses, about once to about three times a day for about 24 months, and twice a day for about 12 months, but is not necessarily required.
[0289] The dosage scale will also be determined by the route, timing, and frequency of administration, as well as the presence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects that may accompany the administration of the compound, and the desired physiological effect. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, various conditions or illnesses, particularly chronic conditions or illnesses, may require long-term treatment involving multiple doses.
[0290] In certain embodiments, the compositions described herein are formulated for administration to patients requiring such compositions. The compositions described herein may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, or via an implanted reservoir.

[0377] 5. Manufacturing of pharmaceuticals In some embodiments, the present invention relates to a method for producing a drug for the treatment of a disorder related to PINK1 kinase activity in mammals, comprising combining a therapeutically effective amount of a disclosed compound or product of the disclosed method with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
[0378] For these applications, the method involves administering a therapeutically effective dose of a compound effective in treating disorders related to PINK1 kinase activity to an animal, specifically a mammal, and more specifically, a human. In connection with the present invention, the dose administered to an animal, particularly a human, should be sufficient to produce a therapeutic response in the animal over a reasonable time frame. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the dosage depends on various factors, including the animal's condition and body weight.
[0379] The total amount of the compound of this disclosure administered in a typical treatment is preferably about 1 mg / kg to about 100 mg / kg body weight per day for mice, about 10 mg / kg to about 50 mg / kg body weight per day for humans, and more preferably about 20 mg / kg to about 40 mg / kg body weight per day. This total amount is typically administered as a series of smaller doses about once to about three times a day over about 24 months, preferably twice a day over about 12 months, but is not necessarily required.
[0380] The dosage scale will also be determined by the route, timing, and frequency of administration, as well as the presence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects that may accompany the administration of the compound, and the desired physiological effect. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, various conditions or illnesses, particularly chronic conditions or illnesses, may require long-term treatment involving multiple doses.
[0381] Any agent used in the applications described herein may be used in combination therapy, concurrent administration, or co-formulation with the compositions described above. Such additional agents include, but are not limited to, agents for cholesterol, such as niacin, asifran, and statins, such as, but are not limited to, lovastatin, atorvastatin, fluvastatin, pitavastatin, rosuvastatin, and simvastatin. Other additional agents include, but are not limited to, ezetimibe and Trilipix (fenofibric acid). Other agents and compositions include, but are not limited to, fish oil, red yeast rice, and omega fatty acids.
[0382] Additional agents may be administered in combination therapy (including co-formulation) with one or more of the compounds described herein.
[0383] In some embodiments, the disease or impairment response to treatment is monitored, and the treatment regimen is adjusted as necessary, taking such monitoring into consideration.
[0384] The frequency of administration is typically such that the dosing interval, e.g., the time between one administration and the next during waking hours, is from about 2 to about 12 hours, from about 3 to about 8 hours, or from about 4 to about 6 hours. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the appropriate dosing interval depends in part on the length of time the selected composition can maintain the concentration of the compound(s) (e.g., EC 50 sup (the minimum concentration of the compound that modulates 90% of the receptor activity) in the subject and / or target tissue. Ideally, the concentration maintains an EC 50 sup state for at least 100% of the dosing interval. If this is not achievable, the concentration is desired to maintain a state greater than 5% of EC 50 or greater than 10% of EC 50 or greater than 25% of EC 50 or greater than 50% of EC 50 over the dosing period.
[0385] Thus, in some embodiments, the present invention relates to the manufacture of a medicament comprising combining a disclosed compound or a product of a disclosed method, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, or polymorph thereof, with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.

[0407] 4. Pre-formed fibril model Mouse and human alpha-synuclein monomers were commercially sourced, and pre-formed fibrils were then generated according to a detailed protocol provided by MJFF. For in vitro experiments, primary hippocampal neurons isolated from P0 offspring were grown for 7 days, after which 5 ug / ml of PFF was introduced. The pre-formed fibrils were introduced by stereotactic injection into the striatum of wild-type (C57BL / 6J, Jax number 000664) and transgenic A53T mice (B6, C3-Tg(Prnp-SNCA*A53T)83Vle / J, Jax number 004479). Subsequently, cohorts of drug-treated (forced oral administration) and untreated animals were aged for up to 6 months, at which point they were sacrificed and perfused. The brains were removed, fixed, and then segmented for analysis. We predict that untreated A53T animals will exhibit aggregated alpha-synuclein pathology and pS129 staining, as well as significant diffusion of some possible neurodegeneration. Wild-type animals are also expected to show pS129 synuclein staining and synuclein aggregation, albeit to a lesser degree than those seen in A53T backgrounds. Animals treated with drugs are expected to show significantly lower pS129 staining and reduced synuclein diffusion.
[0408] 5. Examination of crystallization and round cells In short, Hela MKYP (Mito-Keima / YFP-Parkin) cells were seeded at 10K cells / well. EP / MTK compounds were added at seeding (the cells were still in suspension). The cells were incubated with the EP / MTK compounds for 16 hours, followed by the addition of 1 μM FCCP / oligomycin over 6 hours. Before harvesting, the cells were visually scored at 20x magnification for the presence of crystalline compounds, aggregated compounds, or round cells.

[0412] 6. Human phosphoubiquitin (PS65) UB assay In short, HeLa MKYP cells were plated in 10 cm plates at a density of 1,300,000 cells / plate in 10 mL of medium containing various concentrations of compounds. After incubation for 16 hours, the cells were treated with 0.5 μM FCCP / oligomycin for 2 hours and then harvested. Mitochondria were then isolated according to a published protocol (Ordureau et al, 2014, https: / / doi.org / 10.1016 / j.molcel.2014.09.007). Equal volumes of the sample were loaded onto 26-well gradient gels and Western blot analysis was performed using commercially available antibodies against various markers, including phosphoserine 65 (pS65) ubiquitin, MFN2, PINK1, parkin, and actin.
[0413] 7. Human mitophagy assay In short, HeLa MKYP cells were plated in 96-well plates at 10,000 cells / well with various concentrations of compounds. After incubation for 16 hours, the cells were treated with 1 μM FCCP / oligomycin for 6 hours, and then analyzed by FACS for the presence of mitochondria in lysosomes ...
