Background Art

[0002]

[0002] The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is an intracellular structure that functions, among other things, as a specialized intracellular calcium (Ca 2+ ) storage. The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a channel present in the SR that opens and closes to control the release of Ca 2+ from the SR of the cell into the intracellular cytoplasm. The release of Ca 2+ from the SR to the cytoplasm increases the cytoplasmic Ca 2+ concentration. The opening probability of RyR refers to the likelihood that a given RyR will open at any given moment and thus be able to release Ca 2+ from the SR to the cytoplasm. Three RyR isoforms are known. RyR1 is the predominant isoform expressed in mammalian skeletal muscle, mainly found in the myocardium, while RyR3 expression is low in skeletal muscle.

[0003]

[0003] The release of Ca 2+ from the SR is regulated by several RyR-binding proteins. Calstabin 1 (FKBP12) and calstabin 2 (FKBP12.6) stabilize the closed state of RyR1 and RyR2, respectively. Mutations in RYR1 or RYR2 are characterized by a decrease in the binding of calstabin 1 or calstabin 2, respectively, and inappropriate channel opening not related to the contraction signal. This channel opening is further exacerbated by post-translational modifications such as PKA-phosphorylation, oxidation, or nitrosylation of the RyR channel. The resulting dissociation of calstabin can lead to leaky channels that exhibit a pathological increase in the opening probability at rest. Ca 2+ leakage from the SR results in a decrease in the SR Ca 2+ content and the available Ca 2+This decreases, resulting in weaker muscle contraction.

[0069]

[0074] For example, particle size can be reduced by grinding, polishing, or any other process that reduces particle size.

[0071]

[0076] In some embodiments, the particle size can be further reduced to obtain finely pulverized particles having a particle size of about 10 μm or less or about 1 to about 10 μm. Such finely pulverized forms include those with a particle size of about 10 μm or less, about 9 μm or less, about 8 μm or less, about 7 μm or less, about 6 μm or less, about 5 μm or less, about 4 μm or less, about 3 μm or less, about 2 μm or less, about 1 μm, or less than 1 μm. 90 It can have particle size. For example, the pulverized form can be about 1 μm to about 10 μm (i.e., 1 μm≦D 90 ≤10μm), approximately 2μm to approximately 9μm (i.e., 2μm ≤ D 50 ≤9μm), approximately 5μm to approximately 9μm (i.e., 5μm ≤ D 90 ≤9μm), or approximately 1μm to approximately 5μm (i.e., 1μm ≤ D 90 D (≤5μm) 90 It can be reduced to a particle size.

[0087] Lyanodine receptor: Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) process

[0092] The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is particularly important for its specialized intracellular calcium (Ca 2+It is an intracellular structure that functions as a storage area. The ryanodine receptor (RyR) is a channel located in the sarcoplasmic receptor (SR) that opens and closes to regulate the release of Ca2+ from the SR into the cytoplasm. 2+ The release of cytoplasmic Ca 2+ The concentration is increased. The probability of RyR opening is that a given RyR opens at any given moment, and therefore Ca from SR to the cytoplasm. 2+ This refers to the possibility of releasing something.

[0088]

[0093] RyR is a major C on SR involved in excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) in rhabdomyomus. a 2+ It is a release channel. Of the three known RyR isoforms (RyR1, RyR2, and RyR3), RyR1 is widely expressed and is the main isoform expressed in mammalian skeletal muscle, while RyR2 is also widely expressed and is the main form found in cardiac muscle. RyR3 expression is low in adult skeletal muscle. RyR subtypes exhibit a high degree of structural and functional homology. Subtypes associate with proteins such as kinases, phosphatases, phosphodiesterases, and other regulatory subunits. 2+ It forms a large sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane complex consisting of four monomers that make up the release channel.

[0089]

[0094] Ca from SR 2+ Release is regulated by several RyR-binding proteins. Ca 2+ Calmodulin, a key mediator in signal transduction, exerts both positive and negative effects on RyR opening probability. Calstabin 1 (FKBP12) and calstabin 2 (FKBP12.6) stabilize the closed state of RyR1 and RyR2, respectively. Calstabin 1 primarily associates with skeletal muscle RyR1, while cardiac muscle RyR2 has the highest affinity for calstabin 2.

[0090]

[0095] Mutations in RYR1 or RYR2 can cause decreased binding of calstabin 1 and calstabin 2, respectively. Stress-induced post-translational modifications of RyR, including PKA phosphorylation, oxidation, and nitrosylation, can also cause decreased binding of calstabin to the RyR channel. Genetic mutations and / or stress-induced post-translational modifications of the channel can cause dissociation of calstabin from RyR, making the channel a leaky channel. Dissociation of calstabin can result in a leaky channel exhibiting a pathologically increased opening probability at rest. 2+ The leakage is from SR Ca 2+ This results in a decrease in content and makes Ca available for release. 2+ This leads to a decrease in intracellular calcium, resulting in weaker muscle contraction. Intracellular calcium leakage can lead to different pathological consequences depending on which tissues are involved.

[0091] Lyanodine receptor 2 and heart disease

[0096] In some embodiments, RyR-related conditions are cardiac disorders or diseases involving ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2). The RyR2 channel is necessary for cardiomyocyte ecombination coronary cusp (ECC) by releasing calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiomyocytes. 2+ By regulating its release, it plays a major role in the handling of intracellular calcium. The RyR2 channel is a macromolecular complex that includes four identical RyR2 subunits, each bound to one calstabin 2 (FKBP12.6), as well as other interacting proteins such as phosphatases and kinases. The binding of calstabin 2 stabilizes the channel in a closed state during cardiac rest (diastole), thereby preventing diastolic calcium leakage from the SR, and functionally links the cluster of RyR2 channels during excitation-contraction coupling, enabling synchronized opening.

[0092]

[0097] Phosphorylation of RyR2 by protein kinase A (PKA) is a crucial part of the fight-or-flight response. Phosphorylation is a reaction in which Ca2+2 is released in response to a given trigger. 2+Increasing the amount of increases the cardiac EC coupling. In this process, muscle contraction is strengthened and exercise capacity is improved. This signaling pathway provides a mechanism by which the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is activated in response to stress, increasing cardiac output. Phosphorylation of RyR2 by PKA increases the sensitivity of the channel to calcium-dependent activation. Increased sensitivity leads to an increased probability of opening, and increased calcium release from SR into the intracellular cytoplasm.

[0093]

[0098] Heart failure (HF) is characterized by a persistent state of adrenaline hyperactivity with chronically elevated serum catecholamine levels. One consequence of this chronic adrenaline hyperactivity is persistent PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR2, in which 3 to 4 of the 4 Ser2808 receptors in each homotetrameric RyR2 channel are chronically phosphorylated. Chronic PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR2 is linked to the channel stabilizing subunit calstabine. This is related to the depletion of 2 from the RyR2 channel polymer complex. Depletion of calstabine 2 leads to diastolic SRCa from the RyR complex. 2+ This causes leakage and contributes to a decrease in contractile force. Due to the activation of inward depolarization current, this diastolic SR Ca 2+ Leakage is also associated with fatal cardiac arrhythmias. In fact, mice engineered with RyR2 lacking the PKA phosphorylation site (RyR-S2808A) are protected from HF progression after myocardial infarction (MI). Furthermore, chronic PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR2 in HF is associated with remodeling of the RyR2 macromolecular complex. Remodeling involves depletion of phosphatases PP1 and PP2a from the RyR2 complex (reducing dephosphorylation of Ser2808) as well as depletion of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4D3). Depletion of PDE4D3 from the RyR2 complex leads to a persistent increase in local cAMP levels. Therefore, diastolic SR Ca 2+ Leakage contributes to HF progression and arrhythmias. Further post-translational modifications of RyR channels (oxidation and nitrosylation) further promote leakage.

[0094]

In some embodiments, heart failure is acute heart failure, for example, for maintaining cardiac function after myocardial infarction or cardiomyopathy.

[0095]

[0100] In some embodiments, cardiac disorders or diseases include cardiac ischemia / reperfusion (I / R) injury. I / R injury may occur after coronary angioplasty or thrombolysis for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI), or during / after cardiac bypass surgery or heart transplantation.

[0096]

[0101] In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is characterized by an irregular heartbeat or arrhythmia. In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPTV). In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by an atrial arrhythmia. In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by a ventricular arrhythmia. In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by atrial fibrillation. In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by ventricular fibrillation.

In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is or is characterized by sudden death of unknown cause (SUD).

[0097]

[0102] In some embodiments, the cardiac disorder or disease is catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). CPVT is one of the most deadly hereditary arrhythmogenic disorders. CPVT is characterized by adrenergic-mediated ventricular arrhythmias that occur in the absence of structural cardiac disease and are associated with a high incidence of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Patients typically exhibit stress-induced syncope in their 10th or 20th year of life. CPVT is associated with mutations in two genes encoding proteins that associate with the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of cardiomyocytes. The most frequently observed form is CPVT1, an autosomal dominant type resulting from a mutation in RyR2. This type encodes an intracellular SR calcium release channel. RyR2 mutations associated with CPVT result in a leaky RyR2 channel due to reduced binding of the calstabin 2 (FKBP12.6) subunit, which stabilizes the channel's closed state. Mice heterozygous for the R2474S mutation in RyR2 (which occurs in human CPVT1) (RyR2-R2474S mice) may exhibit exercise-induced ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Treatment with Rycal, which enhances the binding of calstabin 2 to the RyR2-R2474S channel, can inhibit channel leakage and prevent cardiac arrhythmias.

[0098] Lyanodine receptor 1 and musculoskeletal diseases

[0103] In some embodiments, RyR-related conditions are musculoskeletal disorders or diseases involving ryanodine receptor 1 (RyR1). The RyR1 macromolecular complex consists of a tetramer of 560 kDa RyR1 subunits that forms a scaffold for proteins that regulate channel function, including PKA and phosphodiesterase 4D3 (PDE4D3), protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), and calstabin 1. A kinase anchor protein (mAKAP) directs PKA and PDE4D3 to RyR1, while spinophilin directs PP1 to the channel. The catalytic and regulatory subunits of PKA, PP1, and PDE4D3 regulate the phosphorylation of RyR1 at Ser2843 (Ser2844 in mice) via PKA. Phosphorylation of RyR1 at Ser2844 via PKA leads to cytoplasmic Ca 2+ This increases the channel's sensitivity to RyR1, decreases the binding affinity of calstabin 1 to RyR1, and destabilizes the channel's closed state.

[0099]

[0104] The concentration of calstabine 1 in skeletal muscle can be approximately 200 nM. PKA phosphorylation of RyR1 can reduce the binding affinity of calstabine 1 to RyR1 from approximately 100-200 nM to over 600 nM. Therefore, under physiological conditions, the decrease in the binding affinity of calstabine 1 to RyR1 resulting from PKA phosphorylation of RyR1 at Ser2843 is sufficient to significantly reduce the amount of calstabine 1 present in the RyR1 complex. Chronic PKA hyperphosphorylation of RyR1 at Ser2843 leads to leaky channels (i.e., channels that tend to open in a resting state), which contribute to skeletal muscle dysfunction associated with persistent adrenaline hyperactivity, as seen in individuals with heart failure.

[0100]

[0105] Furthermore, post-translational modifications other than phosphorylation, such as nitrosylation (S-nitrosylation) of free sulfhydryl groups on cysteine ​​residues and channel oxidation, can enhance RyR1 channel activity. S-nitrosylation and oxidation of RyR1 can reduce the binding of carstabin 1 to RyR1, respectively.

[0101]

[0106] In some embodiments, the musculoskeletal disorder or disease is a congenital myopathy or congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD). Congenital muscular dystrophy is present at birth. CMDs are classified based on genetic mutations: 1) genes encoding structural proteins of the basement membrane or extracellular matrix of skeletal muscle fibers, 2) genes encoding putative or demonstrated glycosyltransferases that sequentially affect the glycosylation of dystroglycans, which are outer membrane proteins of the basement membrane, and 3) others. Non-limiting examples of CMDs include RYR1-associated myopathy (RYR1-RM), laminin-α2-deficient CMD (MDC1A), Ulrich CMG (UCMD1, 2, and 3), Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), muscle-ophthalm-brain disease (MEB), Fukuyama-type CMD (FCMD), CMD + secondary laminin deficiency 1 (MDC1B), CMD + secondary laminin deficiency 2 (MDC1C), and intellectual disability. This includes CMD with stasis and greater yileencephaly (MDC1D), and rigid spine with muscular dystrophy type 1 (RSMD1).

[0102]

[0107] In some embodiments, the musculoskeletal disorder is RYR1-associated congenital myopathy (RYR1-RM). RYR1-RM includes a group of rare neuromuscular disorders. Affected individuals generally exhibit delayed motor milestones, muscle weakness, impaired gait, and, in severe cases, scoliosis, ophthalmoplegia, and respiratory distress, all due to skeletal muscle weakness. The main calcium component of skeletal muscle is Ca 2+ Causative variants of RYR1, which encodes the release channel, have different effects on the RyR1 channel. Variants generally affect normal Ca between the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) and myocyte cytoplasm. 2+ This obstructs the flow of calcium, which normally leads to excess calcium entering the cytoplasm. 2+ Causes leakage. Persistent Ca 2+ Leakage is necessary for ECC. 2+ It reduces chronic SR Ca 2+ Leakage causes mitochondrial calcium overload, which impairs mitochondrial function and manifests as oxidative overload and decreased ATP production. SR Ca 2+ Leakage can also activate calpain, a calcium-activated protease, which can cause cell damage. Next, oxidative stress can lead to the oxidation and nitrosylation of the channel of RyR1 Ca 2+ This could further contribute to leakage.

[0103]

[0108] In some embodiments, the musculoskeletal disorder or disease is a muscular dystrophy. Non-exclusive examples of muscular dystrophy include Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD), limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD), facioscapulohumeral dystrophy, myotonic muscular dystrophy, congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD), distal muscular dystrophy, Emery-Dreyfus muscular dystrophy, and oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.

[0104]

[0109] Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most common fatal genetic disorders in childhood. Mutations in dystrophin associated with DMD result in the complete loss of the dystrophin protein, thereby disrupting the junction between the cytoskeleton beneath the muscle cell membrane and the extracellular matrix. This junction is essential for protecting and stabilizing muscles from damage induced by contraction. Muscle cell membrane instability due to dystrophin mutations has a cascade effect. One of the main effects is cytoplasmic Ca 2+ This is an increase in concentration, and this is Ca 2+ This leads to the activation of the dependent protease (calpain). Another effect is increased inflammation and iNOS activity, which can cause oxidation / nitrosylation of proteins, lipids, and DNA. The myopathy of DMD is progressive and goes far beyond muscle cell membrane instability. Therefore, this pathology is consistent with muscle cell membrane instability increasing susceptibility to further damage. Excessive oxidation or nitrosylation of RyR1 interferes with the interaction of the calstabine 1-RyR1 complex, leading to RyR1 leakage and muscle weakness. Treatment with Rycal improves indicators of muscle function.

[0105]

[0110] In some embodiments, the musculoskeletal disorder or disease is cancer cachexia, i.e., cancer-related muscle weakness. In some embodiments, cancer-related muscle weakness is, for example, cancer cachexia resulting from cancer with bone metastases. Muscle weakness and muscle atrophy (cachexia) are common paraneoplastic conditions in cancer patients. These conditions cause significant fatigue and dramatically reduce the patient's quality of life. In certain cancers, such as prostate cancer and breast cancer with bone metastases, RyR1 is oxidized and induced to become leaky. Restoration of leak by administration of Rycal compounds improves muscle function. Non-limiting examples of cancers with cachexia that can be treated with the compounds of this specification include breast cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer. These conditions cause significant fatigue and dramatically reduce the patient's quality of life. This disclosure relates, for example, to the presence of a modified state (e.g., oxidized state of RyR1) that induces RyR1 to become leaky in cancer patients. This invention provides methods for treating, preventing, and reducing the likelihood of muscle weakness occurring. Prevention of leakage by administering Rycal compounds can improve muscle function.

[0106]

[0111] In some embodiments, the musculoskeletal condition or disease is age-related loss of muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia). Sarcopenia contributes to increased physical disability and mortality. RyR1 in aged mice may be oxidized, cysteine ​​nitrosylated, and calstabine 1 depleted compared to RyR1 in young (3-6 month) adults. Treatment of aged mice with Rycal stabilizes the binding of calstabine 1 to RyR1, reduces intracellular calcium leakage, reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reduces tetanic Ca 2+ It may enhance release, muscle-specific force, and athletic performance.

[0107]

[0112] In some embodiments, the crystalline polymorphs of the present disclosure are useful in treating type II diabetes by reducing the likelihood of intracellular calcium leakage occurring via leaky RyR2. This leakage leads to mitochondrial calcium overload, which reduces ATP production, and this is K ATP It reduces channel activation. This reduction in channel activation prevents cell membrane depolarization. This inhibition reduces the activation of cell membrane potential-opening calcium channels, which are the main source of calcium required for insulin secretion.

[0162]

[0162] Competitive slurry experiments were conducted at 15°C (Table 5) or 40°C (Table 6) by mixing Forms 1 and 2 in various solvents including acetonitrile / water, acetone / water, and methanol / water mixtures. In methanol / water mixtures, slurries of Forms 1 and 2 converted to methanol solvate at all solvent ratios tested at 15°C or 40°C, except for methanol / water (20 / 80 v / v), where a mixture of Form 2 and methanol solvate (Form 3) was observed. In acetonitrile / water mixtures, slurries of Forms 1 and 2 converted to acetonitrile solvate (Form 4) at all solvent ratios tested at 15°C (Table 5) or 40°C (Table 6). In acetone / water mixtures, slurries of Forms 1 and 2 converted to Form 2 under all test conditions. From these results, water, acetone, or water / acetone mixtures yielded crystalline Form 2.

[0163] [Table 5]

[0164] [Table 6]

[0165]

[0163] In these experiments, form 2 was more stable than form 1. DSC analysis showed that form 2 had a higher melting point and a larger enthalpy of melting than form 1 (compare Figures 2 and 7), supporting the conclusion that form 2 is more stable than form 1. However, form 1 can be stored for at least 24 months without any detection of conversion to form 2 (Figure 5).
