Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority under PCT Article 8(1) and Rule 4.10 to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 448,011, filed February 24, 2023, which is incorporated by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.

[0002] Disclosed are certain psilocin and psilocybin analogs, such as tryptamines containing 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-7-alkyl or 4-(2-methoxyalkyl)-7-alkyl substitutions on the indole phenyl ring. In some embodiments, the disclosure further relates to methods for using such compounds, including methods for synthesizing the compounds, compositions containing the compounds, and administering them to subjects. In some embodiments, the characteristics of the compounds include neuromodulatory activity, such as serotonin receptor activation. In some further embodiments, the compounds are useful as therapeutic agents, such as anti-inflammatory agents. [Background technology]

[0003] Psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD, as well as entactogens such as MDMA, are currently being investigated for various medical uses due to their hallucinogenic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties. In particular, psilocybin has received FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for its effectiveness in treating depression in conjunction with psychological support. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring tryptamine alkaloid found in fungi, including the Psilocybe genus. Psilocybin is currently being investigated for various medical uses due to its hallucinogenic, anxiolytic, and antidepressant properties. In vivo, psilocybin is rapidly dephosphorylated by endogenous phosphatase enzymes to produce psilocin, the active compound that stimulates serotonin 2 (5-HT2) receptors in the brain and other tissues.

[0004] Beyond mental health, psychedelic drugs may hold promise for the treatment of inflammatory, neurological, and neurodegenerative diseases and disorders. However, there is a continuing need for the development of novel therapeutic compounds that can be used to treat a wide range of disease indications, particularly chronic conditions for which no effective treatments exist. Many psychedelic drugs, including psilocybin and its analogs, remain federally illegal under Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act in the United States. Novel compounds that minimize side effects, optimize efficacy, and enable wider access would be particularly beneficial. Provided herein are compounds, compositions, methods, uses, and pharmaceutical kits that meet these and other needs and have advantages and improvements that will become readily apparent throughout the following disclosure.

[0055] While various aspects and features of certain embodiments have been summarized above, the following detailed description provides further details of several exemplary embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to implement such embodiments and to make and use the full scope of the invention as claimed. The described examples are provided for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention or its application. The scope of the invention includes all embodiments and formulations thereof, not just those explicitly described below, and it will be understood that many modifications, substitutions, changes, and variations in the described examples, embodiments, applications, and details may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the invention as described in the claims. The headings within this document are used solely to facilitate reader review. They should not be construed as limiting the invention in any way.

[0056] A. General Definitions and Terminology As used herein and in the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, a reference to an "active agent" includes a reference to a combination of two or more active agents, and a reference to an "excipient" includes a reference to a combination of two or more excipients. While the term "one or more" is sometimes used, its absence (or substitution for the singular) does not refer to a singular number alone, but merely emphasizes that there may be multiple agents or components present in a particular embodiment. The terms "comprising," "including," "such as," and "having" are inclusive and not exclusive (i.e., other elements may be present in addition to the listed elements). The term "or" is used herein to mean, and is used interchangeably with, the term "and / or," unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.

[0057] Unless otherwise specified, all numbers expressing properties such as amounts and concentrations of ingredients, reaction conditions, and the like, used to describe and claim particular embodiments of the present disclosure should be understood to be modified, in some cases, by the term "about." Thus, in some embodiments (or, equally briefly, "in embodiments"), the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and claims are approximations that may vary depending on the desired properties sought to be obtained by a particular embodiment. In some embodiments, "about" refers to plus or minus five percent (±5%) of the recited unit of measure. The term "substantially," when applied to modify features or limitations herein, should be read to provide an appropriate degree of certainty in the context of the present disclosure and in light of the knowledge in the art, for example, by using art-recognized standards for measuring the meaning of "substantially" as a term of degree, or by ascertaining a range as would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0058] In some embodiments, the numerical parameters should be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of some embodiments of the present disclosure are approximations, the numerical values ​​set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as practicable. The numerical values ​​presented in some embodiments may contain certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements.

[0059] A comprehensive list of abbreviations utilized by organic chemists of ordinary skill in the art appears in the first issue of each volume of the Journal of Organic Chemistry; this list is typically presented in a table entitled "Standard List of Abbreviations"; the list as of the date of this application is incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.

[0118] In some embodiments, the compound is [ka] or [ka] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, isotopic derivative, hydrate or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is selected from the group consisting of: [ka] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, isotopic derivative, hydrate or solvate thereof.

In some embodiments, the compound is [ka] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, isotopic derivative, hydrate or solvate thereof. In some embodiments, the compound is [ka] or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, isotopic derivative, hydrate or solvate thereof.

[0119] The present disclosure is understood to encompass pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the disclosed compounds. The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" refers to salts prepared from pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic acids or bases and can be synthesized by conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by reacting the free acid or free base form of these drugs with a stoichiometric amount of the appropriate base or acid in water or an organic solvent, or a mixture of the two. Generally, non-aqueous media (e.g., ether, ethyl acetate, ethanol, isopropanol, or acetonitrile) are preferred. For therapeutic use, salts of compounds are those in which the counterion is pharmaceutically acceptable. One skilled in the art can select a pharmaceutically acceptable counterion from a wide variety of available counterions. In certain applications, the selection of a given anion or cation for the preparation of a salt may result in increased or decreased solubility of the salt. Exemplary salts include 2-hydroxyethanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, 2-naphsylate, 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoate, 3-phenyl-propionate, 4-acetamidobenzoate, acefyllinate, acetate, aceturate, adipate, alginate, aminosalicylate, ammonium, amsonate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate, bisulfate, bitartrate, borate, butyrate, calcium edetate, calcium, camphor carbonate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, camcyl acid salt, carbonate, cholate, citrate, clavulanate, cyclopentanepropionate, cypionate, d-aspartate, d-camsylate, d-lactate, decanoate, dichloroacetate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, edentate, edetate, edisylate, estolate, esylate, ethanesulfonate, ethyl sulfate, fumarate, furate, fusidate, galactarate (mucate), galacturonate, gallate, gentisic acid, gluceptic acid, glucoheptanoate, gluconate, glucuronate, glutamic acid, glutarate, glycerophosphate, glycolate,Glycolylarsanilic acid, hemisulfate, heptanoate (enanthate), heptanoate, hexafluorophosphate, hexanoate, hexylresorcinate, hippurate, hybenzate, hydrabamine, hydrobromide, hydrobromide / bromide, hydrochloride, hydroiodide, hydroxide, hydroxybenzoate, hydroxynaphthoate, iodide, isethionate, isothionate, l-aspartate, l-camsylate, l-lactate, lactate, lactobionate, laurate, laurylsulfonate, lithium, magnesium, malate, maleate, malonate, mandelate, mesotartarate, mesylate, methanesulfonate, methyl bromide, methyl nitrate, methyl sulfate, mucate, myristate, N-methylglucamine ammonium salt, napadisylate, naphthylate, napsylar Examples of suitable salts include acetone, nicotinate, nitrate, octanoate, oleate, orotate, oxalate, p-toluenesulfonate, palmitate, pamoate, pantothenate, pectinate, persulfate, phenylpropionate, phosphate, diphosphate, picrate, pivalate, polygalacturonate, potassium, propionate, pyrophosphate, saccharate, salicylate, salicylsulfate, sodium, stearate, acetate, succinate, sulfate, sulfosaliculate, sulfosalicylate, suramate, tannate, tartrate, teoclate, terephthalate, thiocyanate, thiosalicylate, tosylate, tribrophenate, triethiodide, undecanoate, undecylenate, valerate, valproate, xinafoate, and zinc salts. (See Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci. 1997, 66, 1-19).

[0120] Certain compounds disclosed herein may contain one or more ionizable groups (groups that can remove (e.g., —COOH) or add (e.g., amine) a proton, or can be quaternized (e.g., amine)). All possible ionic forms of such molecules and salts thereof are included in the present disclosure.

[0121] The disclosed compounds can exist in solid or liquid form. In the solid state, the compounds can exist in crystalline or amorphous form, or as a mixture thereof. Those skilled in the art will understand that pharmaceutically acceptable solvates can be formed for crystalline or amorphous compounds. In crystalline solvates, solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice during crystallization. Solvates may contain non-aqueous solvents, such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropanol, DMSO, acetic acid, ethanolamine, or ethyl acetate, or may contain water as the solvent incorporated into the crystal lattice. Solvates in which water is the solvent incorporated into the crystal lattice are typically referred to as "hydrates." Hydrates include stoichiometric hydrates as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water. The subject matter described herein includes such solvates.

[0122] Those skilled in the art will further understand that certain compounds described herein that exist in crystalline forms, including various solvates thereof, may exhibit polymorphism (i.e., the ability to exist in different crystalline structures). These different crystalline forms are typically known as "polymorphs." The subject matter disclosed herein includes such polymorphs. Polymorphs include different crystalline packing arrangements of compounds of the same elemental composition. Polymorphs have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometric arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Thus, polymorphs may have different physical properties, such as shape, density, hardness, deformability, stability, and dissolution properties. Polymorphs typically exhibit different melting points, IR spectra, and X-ray powder diffraction patterns, which can be used for identification. Those skilled in the art will understand that different polymorphs can be produced, for example, by changing or adjusting the reaction conditions or reagents used to prepare the compound. For example, changes in temperature, pressure, or solvents can result in polymorphism. Various factors, such as recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, and storage temperature, can cause a single crystalline form to predominate. Additionally, one polymorph may spontaneously convert to another polymorph under certain conditions.

[0123] The compounds described herein may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms. Each chiral center may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)-. The present disclosure includes all such possible isomers and mixtures thereof, including racemates and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-, (-)- and (+)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents or resolved using conventional techniques. Various methods for preparing optically active forms and determining activity are known in the art. Such methods include standard assays described herein and other similar assays known in the art. Examples of methods that can be used to obtain optical isomers of compounds according to the present disclosure include selective crystallization, enzymatic resolution, asymmetric synthesis (including asymmetric chemical synthesis and asymmetric enzymatic synthesis), kinetic resolution, and chiral chromatography (including chiral liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and high-performance liquid chromatography). When the compounds described herein contain an olefinic double bond or other center of geometric asymmetry, unless otherwise specified, the compounds are intended to include both E and Z geometric isomers, as well as tautomeric forms.

[0124] The present disclosure also includes compounds with desired isotopic substitution of at least one atom at an amount greater than the natural abundance of the isotope, i.e., isotopically enriched. Isotopes are atoms with the same atomic number but different mass numbers, i.e., atoms with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into the disclosed compounds include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, such as 2 H, 3 H, 11 C. 13 C. 14 C. 15 N, 17 O. 18 O and 36In one non-limiting embodiment, the isotope-labeled compound is used for metabolic studies ( 14 C), reaction kinetic studies (e.g. 2 H or 3 H), can be used in detection or imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), including drug or substrate tissue distribution assays, or for radiation treatment of patients. 18 F-labeled compounds may be particularly desirable for PET or SPECT studies. Additionally, deuterium, i.e. 2 Substitution with heavier isotopes, such as H, can confer therapeutic advantages due to increased metabolic stability, e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and therefore may be preferable in some circumstances. Isotopically labeled compounds of the present disclosure can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the following schemes or examples and preparations by substituting readily available isotopically labeled reagents for non-isotopically labeled reagents.

[0125] The present disclosure also includes prodrugs of the disclosed compounds. A "prodrug" is a precursor of a biologically active drug that can undergo chemical or metabolic conversion to become a biologically active agent. A prodrug can be converted to a biologically active drug in vitro by a chemical conversion process. In vivo, a prodrug is converted to a biologically active drug by the action of metabolic, enzymatic, or degradative processes that remove the prodrug moiety and form the biologically active drug. Typical examples of prodrugs include compounds that have biologically labile or cleavable (protecting) groups on functional moieties of the active compound. Prodrugs include compounds that can be oxidized, reduced, aminated, deaminated, hydroxylated, dehydroxylated, hydrolyzed, alkylated, dealkylated, acylated, deacylated, phosphorylated, or dephosphorylated to generate the active compound. Commonly used functional groups include esters, carbonates, carbamates, amides, phosphates, and sulfonamides. These functional groups can be attached to drug molecules via linkers designed to cleave under specific physiological conditions, such as enzymatic hydrolysis or pH-dependent cleavage. The choice of functional group depends on factors such as stability, ease of synthesis, enzymatic activity, and the desired rate of prodrug conversion.

[0126] Generally, the disclosed individual compounds are administered as part of pharmaceutical compositions or formulations and are prepared for inclusion in such compositions or formulations as isolated or purified compounds. As used herein, the terms "isolated," "purified," or "substantially pure" refer to a material that is substantially or essentially free from components that normally accompany the material when it is synthesized, manufactured, or otherwise produced. Thus, an "isolated," "purified," or "substantially pure" preparation of a compound is defined as one that has a chromatographic purity (of the desired compound) of greater than 90%, more preferably greater than 95%, more preferably greater than 96%, more preferably greater than 97%, more preferably greater than 98%, more preferably greater than 99%, more preferably greater than 99.5%, and most preferably greater than 99.9%, as determined by area normalization of an HPLC profile or other similar detection method.

[0127] Preferably, the substantially pure compound used in the present disclosure is substantially free of any other active compounds that are not intended to be administered to a subject. In this context, "substantially free" can be interpreted to mean that no active compounds other than the active compounds intended to be administered to a subject are detectable by HPLC or other similar detection methods, or are below the desired detection threshold as defined above.

[0128] In some aspects, the characteristics of the disclosed compounds provide various advantages. Such advantages may relate to modulation of neurotransmission, pharmacokinetics, such as properties related to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the disclosed compounds, and subjective effects upon administration to a subject. In embodiments, such advantages are determined relative to a control drug.

[0129] In some embodiments, the control agent is a tryptamine having a 7-alkyl substituent but lacking a 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl) or 4-(2-methoxyalkyl) substituent. For example, in some embodiments, the control agent is a 7-alkyl (e.g., 7-methyl) analog of psilocybin, psilocin, or an N,N-dialkyltryptamine (e.g., DMT, DET, DiPT). In some embodiments, the control agent is a tryptamine having a 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl) or 4-(2-methoxyalkyl) substituent but lacking a 7-alkyl group. For example, in some embodiments, the control agent is a 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl)- or 4-(2-methoxyalkyl)-substituted N,N-dialkyltryptamine (e.g., 4-(2-hydroxymethyl)-DMT, 4-(2-methoxymethyl)-DiPT, etc.).

[0130] C. Methods for Preparing the Disclosed Compounds In some aspects, provided herein are methods for preparing the disclosed 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-7-alkyl or 4-(2-methoxyalkyl)-7-alkyltryptamine compounds, such as compounds of Formula (1), Formula (1A), Formula (1B), or any subformula thereof.

[0131] In some embodiments, the disclosed 4-(2-hydroxyalkyl)-7-alkyltryptamine compounds, e.g., compounds of formula (1A), and 4-(2-methoxyalkyl)-7-alkyltryptamine compounds, e.g., compounds of formula (1B), are prepared according to the following exemplary reaction sequence: [ka] (i) potassium vinyltrifluoroborate, Pd(OAc)2, SPhos, K2CO3 in dioxane / H2O; (ii) BH3-THF, H2O2, NaOH, then PivCl, Et3N, THF; (iii) (COCl)2, Et2O, then HNR'R', then LiAlH4; (iv) BH3-THF, H2O2, NaOH, then MsCl, Et3N, NaOMe.

[0135] Those skilled in the art will understand that while the reaction schemes show exemplary reagents and / or solvents, alternatives are also encompassed by the present disclosure. For example, while pyridine is used as an exemplary base, those skilled in the art will understand that other inorganic or organic bases (e.g., triethylamine) may be suitable for use in the same reaction steps. Similarly, while THF is shown as an exemplary solvent, those skilled in the art will understand that other solvents (e.g., polar aprotic solvents) may be used for the same purpose.

Calculations (2001) 11th ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, Md.; and Poznansky et al., Drug Delivery Sys. (1980), R.L. Juliano, ed., Oxford, NY, pp. 253-315).

[0139] "Pharmaceutically acceptable" as used with reference to an excipient, carrier, diluent, or other ingredient means that the ingredient is generally safe and suitable for use in contact with human and animal cells without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or complications, within the scope of sound medical judgment, commensurate with a reasonable risk / benefit ratio.

[0140] In some embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions containing the disclosed compounds can be administered by various routes, including oral, mucosal (e.g., buccal, sublingual), rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, inhalation, and intranasal. In some embodiments, the compounds used in the methods of the present disclosure are effective as oral, mucosal (e.g., buccal, sublingual), rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, inhalation, and intranasal compositions. Such compositions are prepared by methods well known in the pharmaceutical arts and contain at least one active compound. (See, e.g., Remington, 2020.)

[0141] The disclosed compositions are preferably formulated into unit dosage forms, each dosage containing a therapeutically effective amount of the active ingredient, for example, in the dosage amounts disclosed below. The term "unit dosage form" refers to a physically discrete unit suitable as a unitary dosage for a subject to be treated, each unit containing a predetermined amount of active material calculated to produce a desired therapeutic effect in combination with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier, diluent, or excipient. Unit dosage forms are often used for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. A unit dosage form can contain a single or individual dose or unit, sub-dose, or an appropriate fraction thereof (e.g., half of a "full" dose for a "booster" dose as described below) of the pharmaceutical composition to be administered.

[0142] The unit dosage forms include capsules, troches, cachets, lozenges, tablets, ampoules and vials, which may contain the composition in a freeze-dried or lyophilized state; for example, a sterile liquid carrier can be added before administration or delivery in vivo. The unit dosage forms also include ampoules and vials into which a liquid composition is placed. The unit dosage forms also include compounds for transdermal administration, such as "patches" that contact the epidermis (including mucous membranes) for long or short periods of time.

[0143] In embodiments, the disclosed compositions are formulated into pharmaceutically acceptable oral dosage forms. Oral dosage forms include oral liquid dosage forms (such as tinctures, drops, emulsions, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, and solutions) and oral solid dosage forms. The disclosed pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared as formulations suitable for intramuscular, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, or intravenous injection, including physiologically acceptable sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions, or emulsions, liposomes, and sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions.

[0144] In embodiments, the disclosed pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated into topical preparations (e.g., topical dosage forms). Topical preparations include transmucosal and transdermal preparations, such as aerosols, emulsions, sprays, ointments, salves, gels, pastes, lotions, liniments, oils, and creams, and may contain pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for topical preparations include, for example, penetration enhancers, carriers, diluents, emulsifiers, stabilizers, solvents and cosolvents, viscosity modifiers (e.g., thickeners), adhesion modifiers (e.g., tackifiers), preservatives, antioxidants, adhesive polymers, solubilizers, colorants, binders, humectants, surfactants, gelling agents, and other such ingredients commonly known to those skilled in the art.

[0145] In some embodiments, the topical formulation includes a penetration enhancer. Without being bound by theory, penetration enhancers are generally characterized by their ability to increase the permeability of biological barriers, such as the scalp. In some embodiments, the inclusion of a penetration enhancer in the formulation improves the ability of the active agent to diffuse into skin tissues, increasing the bioavailability of the active agent. Penetration enhancers include, for example, fatty acids and oils such as castor oil, coconut oil, medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), jojoba oil, sunflower oil, argan oil, almond oil, olive oil, mineral oil, petrolatum, cocoa butter, shea butter, or other esters, triglycerides, or functional derivatives thereof. In some embodiments, the penetration enhancer is 1,2-lauryl ether, aprotinin, azone, benzalkonium chloride, benzalkonium bromide, cetylpyridinium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium, cyclodextrin, dextran sulfate, glycol, lauric acid, propylene laurate, lysophosphatidylcholine, menthol, phosphatidylcholine, polyoxyethylene, polysorbate 80, sodium EDTA, chitosan, sodium glycocholate, sodium deoxyglycocholate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium salicylate, sodium taurocholate, dimethyl sulfoxide, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the penetration enhancer is selected from the group comprising low chain alcohols having a carbon chain length of 1 to 5, sodium glycocholate, sodium deoxycholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium glycodeoxycholate, sodium taurodeoxycholate, oleic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, lecithin, myristic acid, palmitic acid, physophosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylcholine, azone, cyclodextrin, sodium lauryl sulfate, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene-20-cetyl ether, benzalkonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, vitamin E TPGS, caprylocaproyl polyoxylglyceride, stearoyl macrogolglyceride, propylene glycol dicaprylocaprate, or mixtures thereof.

[0147] In some embodiments, the topical formulation includes a carrier. The carrier can be designed to provide a controlled release profile, improved circulation time, and better penetration across epithelia. In some embodiments, the carrier is a hydrophobic drug carrier. Hydrophobic drug carriers have the advantage of exhibiting sustained release and may have good adhesion to biological surfaces. Hydrophobic drug carriers can have slow (i.e., prolonged) release kinetics, but may also be constructed to have a rapid or immediate release profile. New technologies include the development of hydrophilic coatings on hydrophobic nanoparticles to improve transport across tissue surfaces while maintaining a sustained release profile. These include polyethylene glycol and chitosan coatings (see, e.g., de la Fuente et al., Nanomedicine 2008;3:845-857). Any of a variety of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers may be used, including, but not limited to, aqueous media such as water, saline, glycine, hyaluronic acid, etc.; solid carriers such as starch, magnesium stearate, mannitol, sodium saccharin, talc, cellulose, glucose, sucrose, lactose, trehalose, magnesium carbonate, etc.; solvents; dispersion media; coatings; antibacterial and antifungal agents; isotonic and absorption delaying agents; or other inactive ingredients. The choice of a pharmacologically acceptable carrier may depend on the mode of administration.Non-limiting examples of specific uses of such pharmaceutical carriers can be found in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems (eds. Howard C. Ansel et al., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers, 7th ed., 1999); Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (ed. Alfonso R. Gennaro, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 20th ed. 2000); Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapics (eds. Joel G.

[0182] In some embodiments, the formulations of the present disclosure are prepared to increase an existing therapeutic effect, provide an additional therapeutic effect, increase a desired property such as stability or shelf life, decrease an undesirable effect or property, alter a property in a desired manner (e.g., pharmacokinetics or pharmacodynamics), modulate a desired system or pathway (e.g., neurotransmitter system), or provide a synergistic effect.

[0183] "Therapeutic effects" that may be increased or added with embodiments of the present disclosure include, but are not limited to, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-neuropathic, anti-nociceptive, anti-migraine, anxiolytic, antidepressant, antipsychotic, anti-PTSD, pro-dissociative, immunostimulatory, anti-cancer, antiemetic, appetite stimulant, antiulcer, antihistamine, antihypertensive, anticonvulsant, anti-epileptic, bronchodilator, neuroprotective, empathogenic, psychedelic, sedative, and stimulant effects.

[0184] "Synergy" should be understood to include an increase in potency, bioactivity, bioaccessibility, bioavailability, or therapeutic effect that is greater than the additive contribution of the components acting alone. There are many methods known to those skilled in the art for determining whether there is synergy with respect to a particular effect, i.e., whether the effect of two or more components mixed together is greater than the sum of the effects of the individual components applied alone, thereby resulting in "1 + 1 > 2." Suitable methods include isobologram (or contour) analysis (Huang, Front Pharmacol., 2019; 10: 1222) or the Loewe additivity equation (Loewe & Muischnek, 1926, Arch. Exp. Pathol Pharmacol. 114: 313-326). Synergistic effects can also be calculated using methods such as the Sigmoid-Emax equation (Holford & Scheiner, 1981, Clin. Pharmacokinet. 6:429-453) and the median effect equation (Chou & Talalay, 1984, Adv. Enzyme Regul. 22:27-55). The corresponding graphs associated with the above-mentioned equations are the concentration-effect curve and the combination index curve, respectively. Each of the above-mentioned equations can be applied to experimental data to generate corresponding graphs, which can help evaluate the effect of drug combinations.

[0217] a. Regulation of neurotransmission In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate neurotransmission in a subject, such as after administration of a therapeutically effective amount to the subject. In embodiments, modulating neurotransmission by administering a disclosed compound to a subject treats a disease or disorder in the subject. In embodiments, modulating neurotransmission includes, for example, modulating monoamine levels in the CNS and peripheral tissues. In embodiments, modulating neurotransmission by administering a disclosed compound to a subject treats a disease or disorder in the subject.

[0218] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds activate serotonin receptors. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds agonize and / or antagonize serotonin receptors (5-HT receptors, e.g., 5-HT2 receptors). The 5-HT2 receptor family includes three distinct receptor subtypes: 5-HT 2A , 5-HT 2B , and 5-HT 2C It consists of 5-HT 2A and 5-HT 2C The receptor is 5-HT 2B Psilocytosis and other related psychoactive tryptamines are primarily expressed in the brain via 5-HT 2A However, many of these tryptamines (including psilocin) also bind to 5-HT receptors due to the high sequence homology between the three 5-HT2 receptor subtypes. 2B and 5-HT 2C It is also an agonist of the 5-HT2 receptor (Nichols, Pharmacol. Rev. 2016, 68, 264-355). Activation of all 5-HT2 receptor subtypes can result in reduced efficacy or adverse side effects. For example, 5-HT 2C Receptor activation is 5-HT 2A It has been shown to functionally antagonize the effects of 5-HT receptor activation (ibid.), but 2B Activation of the 5-HT receptor has been linked to heart valve disease (Hutcheson et al., Pharmacol. Ther. 2011, 132(2):146-157). In embodiments, compounds, particularly compounds that may be used regularly or over relatively long periods of time, may be used to inhibit 5-HT receptor activity. 2B In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds have reduced activity (e.g., agonism) of 5-HT receptors, e.g., 5-HT 1A and 5-HT 1B 5-HT1 receptors, 5-HT 2A , 5-HT 2B and 5-HT 2CThe 5-HT2 receptor, such as 5-HT1, 5-HT2 receptor, and 5-HT6 receptors are stimulated or partially stimulated.

[0219] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are 5-HT 1A , 5-HT 1B , 5-HT 2A , 5-HT 2C In vitro EC against any one or more of 5-HT6 50 (agonist mode) is less than 10 μM, less than 5 μM, less than 1 μM, less than 0.5 μM, or less than 0.1 μM. In embodiments, the disclosed compounds are 5-HT 2A In vitro ECs against 50 (agonist mode) is less than 1 μM, less than 0.5 μM, less than 0.1 μM, less than 0.05 μM, less than 0.01 μM, less than 0.005 μM, or less than 0.001 μM. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are 5-HT 2C In vitro ECs against 50 (agonist mode) is less than 1 μM, less than 0.5 μM, less than 0.1 μM, less than 0.05 μM, less than 0.01 μM, less than 0.005 μM, or less than 0.001 μM.

[0220] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds inhibit 5-HT 2 receptors relative to other 5-HT 2 receptors. 2A In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds exhibit greater potency at the 5-HT1 receptor, another 5-HT2 receptor, e.g., 5-HT 2B and 5-HT 2C e.g., 5-HT compared with one or more of the 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7 receptors 2A It shows greater efficacy.

[0221] Determining agonism and antagonism, EC 50 and IC 50 Measurement of Gq-mediated calcium flux, respectively, can be determined according to methods available to those skilled in the art. In one example, measurement of Gq-mediated calcium flux can be used to measure 5-HT, a widely recognized target of psychedelic compounds.2A This is a known method for assessing modulation, e.g., activation, of a protein. See, for example, Klein et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2020:14; 4(2):533-542; Flanagan et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2020; 4(2):488-502; Toro-Sazo et al., PLoS One. 2019; 14(1):e0209804; Halberstadt et al., Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2019; 236(2):799-808. As those skilled in the art will recognize, partial agonists are not as effective as full agonists (E MAX = 100%), the reduced maximum effect (E MAX ) and for example, in the case of the 5-HT receptor, serotonin corresponds to this.

[0222] The particular effects of the disclosed compounds may be due, at least in part, to their ability to activate serotonin receptors (e.g., 5-HT 2A , 5-HT 2C ), one potential approach for next-generation compounds with improved therapeutic efficacy, improved safety profiles, and reduced side effects may be to optimize selective serotonin receptor activation. Thus, in some embodiments, the disclosed compounds may bind to other serotonin receptors (e.g., 5-HT 2B receptor, or 5-HT 2C receptors) rather than 5-HT 2A In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds have high selectivity for the 5-HT receptor. 2B 5-HT receptors 2A In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds have high selectivity for the 5-HT receptor. 2C 5-HT receptors 2A In some embodiments, selectivity is enhanced over another receptor (e.g., 5-HT 2B receptors or 5-HT 2C receptors, such as serotonin receptors) compared to one receptor (e.g., 5-HT 2AThe half-maximal effective concentration (EC) of the disclosed compounds for the 50 ) is defined as the functional activity selectivity calculated by the ratio of 5-HT 2A EC 50 is 0.2 μM, and 5-HT 2B EC 50 is 1.0 μM, the compound 2B 5-HT receptors 2A It can be said to have a 5-fold functional activity selectivity for one receptor (e.g., 5-HT 2A receptor) and another receptor (e.g., 5-HT 2B serotonin receptors, such as the 5-HT receptor 2C receptor) (e.g., K i For example, the affinity selectivity of a hypothetical compound can be defined as the ratio of 5-HT 2A K i is 0.1 μM, and 5-HT 2B EC 50 is 1.0 μM, the compound 2B 5-HT receptors 2A It can be said to have a 10-fold affinity selectivity for the receptor.

[0223] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are 5-HT 2B 5-HT receptors 2A In embodiments, the disclosed compounds have affinity selectivity for the 5-HT receptor of about 1.1-fold, 1.5-fold, 1.6-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, 10-fold, 20-fold, 30-fold, 50-fold, 70-fold, 80-fold, 90-fold, 100-fold, 150-fold, or at least 150-fold relative to the comparator. 2B 5-HT receptors 2A The affinity selectivity for the receptor is improved.

[0227] b. Regulation of neuroplasticity In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate neurotransmission in a subject, such as after administration of a therapeutically effective amount to the subject. In some embodiments, modulation of neurotransmission contributes to the therapeutic effect of the disclosed compounds in a subject. In some embodiments, modulation of neurotransmission by administering a disclosed compound to a subject treats a disease or disorder in the subject.

[0228] Neurotransmission refers to the transmission of information between neurons. When an action potential is generated, information is released by a neuron, resulting in the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. Thus, neurotransmission can be quantified by measuring parameters of action potential firing in a population of neurons. In some embodiments, neurotransmission is quantified by measuring general action potential firing activity (Obien et al., Front Neurosci. 2015;8:423; Morin et al., J Biosci Bioeng. 2005;100(2):131-143). General action potential firing activity parameters include spike rate, burst rate, and / or spike contrast. In embodiments, neurotransmission is quantified by measuring burst structure. Burst structure parameters include burst spike count, burst duration, and / or burst amplitude. In some embodiments, neurotransmission is quantified by measuring oscillatory behavior. Oscillatory behavior is measured as the standard deviation of spike rate, burst rate, and / or burst amplitude. In some embodiments, neurotransmission is quantified by measuring the synchrony of the activity of neuronal populations. Synchrony is measured as the coefficient of variation of spike rate, burst rate, and / or burst duration across neuronal populations. Synchrony is also measured as synchrony sharing, synchrony distance, and / or spike simplex.

[0229] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate spike rate. The spike rate is the number of action potentials per second. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate burst rate. Neurons may fire a series of action potentials known as bursts in rapid succession. The burst rate is the number of bursts per second. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate spike contrast. Spike contrast is a measure of the variability of neuronal activity and is measured as the difference in the number of spikes occurring in the first and second halves of the recording period (i.e., 700 milliseconds). In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate burst spike count. The burst spike count is the number of spikes per burst. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate burst duration. The burst duration is the average duration of the detected bursts. In some embodiments, neurotransmission is measured as burst amplitude. To obtain burst amplitude, an integral function with decay is calculated over the timestamps of the bursts. The burst amplitude is the peak value of the integral, which increases with the occurrence of frequent and numerous spikes.

[0230] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate oscillatory behavior. Oscillatory behavior is a measure of the variability of a parameter, measured as the standard deviation of the parameter over time within an experimental episode. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate the synchrony of activity in a neuronal population. Synchrony is a measure of the relative variability of activity across a neuronal population. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate shared synchrony. Shared synchrony is the average number of units involved in a population burst, with higher values ​​reflecting greater synchronization of bursts occurring across neuronal populations. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate synchronization distance. Synchrony distance is defined as the average distance from the center of a population burst to the onset of a burst within the population burst, with lower values ​​reflecting greater network synchrony. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds modulate spike simplex. Spike simplex is a measure of the connectivity and complexity of a neuronal network, with higher values ​​reflecting greater synchronization between neurons.

[0231] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are used to enhance neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity, also known as neuroplasticity or brain plasticity, refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experience, learning, and environmental factors. Neuroplasticity occurs through several mechanisms, including synaptic plasticity, which involves the strengthening or weakening of connections (synapses) between neurons. Synaptic plasticity is often associated with learning and memory processes. Another form of plasticity is called structural plasticity, which involves changes in the physical structure of neurons, such as the growth of new dendritic branches or the formation of new synapses. In some embodiments, increased neuroplasticity contributes to the therapeutic effects of the disclosed compounds in a subject. In some embodiments, a disease or disorder in a subject is treated by administering the disclosed compounds to a subject to enhance neuroplasticity.

[0232] Neuroplasticity can be defined in terms of neuritogenesis, spine formation, and synaptogenesis in neurons. Neuritogenesis refers to the process by which neurons generate and extend their neurites (i.e., form axons and dendrites). Neuritogenesis is a critical step in neurogenesis and the formation of neural circuits. Spine formation refers to the formation of dendritic spines, which are small projections on the dendrites of neurons. Dendritic spines are essential for synaptic connections and play an important role in synaptic transmission and plasticity. Synaptogenesis refers to the formation of synapses, which are essential for the establishment and refinement of neural circuits, and is a fundamental process underlying learning, memory, and information processing in the brain.

[0233] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase neuritogenesis. Neuritogenesis can be measured in terms of total neurite length, maximum neurite length, number of neurite nodes, and / or number of neurite terminals. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase total neurite length. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase maximum neurite length. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase the number of neurite nodes. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase the number of neurite terminals.

[0234] In some embodiments, administration of the disclosed compounds to a subject increases the number of dendritic branches, the number of dendritic intersections, the density of dendritic spines, the density of synapses (i.e., the number of synapses per neuron), or the total length of dendrites. These factors can be measured using Sholl analysis and other techniques known to those skilled in the art (Ly et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2020;4(2):452-460).

It should be understood that such participation can occur with or without the participation or guidance of a therapist.

[0267] In some embodiments, the "psychotherapy" specifically refers to "psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy." Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy broadly includes a variety of related approaches involving at least one session in which a patient takes a psychedelic drug and, while under the influence of the drug, is monitored, supported, or otherwise involved by one or more trained mental health professionals (see, e.g., Schenberg 2018). Protocols have been developed to standardize procedures that emphasize a high level of care, such as the therapeutic approach used by MAPS to treat patients with PTSD using MDMA (see, e.g., Mithoefer 2017) (see, e.g., Johnson 2008).

[0268] In some embodiments, psychotherapy using the disclosed compounds is conducted in widely spaced sessions. These sessions can occur as frequently as weekly, but are often conducted approximately once a month or less frequently. In most cases, a small number of sessions, approximately one to three, are required for a patient to experience significant clinical progress, as indicated, for example, by a reduction in symptoms of the mental health disorder being treated. In some embodiments, psychotherapy involves multiple sessions, some of which involve the administration of the disclosed compounds ("medication-assisted psychotherapy"); in other embodiments, patients participate in psychosocial or behavioral therapy without the co-administration of medications or without the administration of the disclosed compounds.

[0271] Preferably, when the disclosed pharmaceutical compositions are administered, such administration occurs without or with reduced risk of side effects requiring medical supervision, thus allowing treatment at home or otherwise outside of a clinic without the need for such supervision and / or without the need for additional adjunctive psychological therapy (although this may also be provided in certain embodiments herein).

[0272] In some embodiments, the disclosed compositions can be administered in combination with or as an adjunct to psychotherapy. In other embodiments, psychotherapy is not necessary or desirable, or no particular type of psychotherapy is necessary or desirable, but any of the disclosed methods can be used in combination with one or more psychotherapy sessions. The flexibility to participate in a particular therapy, as well as the flexibility to choose between any such therapies (or decide to discontinue any particular therapy) while still receiving clinically significant therapeutic benefits, is one advantage of the present invention. Furthermore, patients can participate in numerous other therapeutically beneficial activities. Such participation can occur after or in conjunction with administration of the composition, including breathing exercises, meditation and concentration exercises, focusing on an object or mantra, listening to music, physical exercise, stretching or bodywork, journaling, grounding techniques, positive self-talk, or interacting with pets or animals. It should be understood that such participation can occur with or without the participation or guidance of a therapist.

[0273] In some cases, specific individualized approaches (i.e., "personalized" or "precision" medicine) may be utilized based on individual characteristics, including drug metabolism (e.g., CYP2D6, or CYP3A4) or individual genetic variations. The term "genetic variation" refers to a change in a gene sequence compared to a reference sequence (e.g., a commonly occurring sequence and / or a wild-type sequence). Genetic variations can be mutations, such as recombination events or substitution / deletion / insertion events, e.g., point mutations and splice site mutations.

[0274] In some embodiments, the genetic variation affects drug metabolism, including metabolism of the disclosed compositions, and is a genetic variation in one or more cytochrome P450 (CYP or CYP450) enzymes, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2C19, CYP3A4, and CYP3A5. Other examples of CYP enzymes include CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2A13, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2C18, CYP2E1, CYP2G1, CYP2J2, CYP2R1, CYP2S1, CYP3A5P1, CYP3A5P2, CYP3A7, CYP4A11, CYP4B1, CYP4F2, CYP4F3, CYP4F8, CYP4F9, CYP4F10, CYP4F11, CYP4F12, CYP4F13, CYP4F14, CYP4F15, CYP4F16, CYP4F17, CYP4F18, CYP4F19 ...

[0275] In some embodiments, the disclosed compositions are taken with compounds that are metabolized by the same one or more CYP enzymes as the disclosed compositions to allow for lower dosage intake, increase the effective bioavailability of one or both, or affect drug metabolism or pharmacokinetics. In some embodiments, the dose of the disclosed compositions is adjusted, such as decreased when administered to subjects known to be poor metabolizers of the active compounds in the composition (e.g., with genetic variations in CYP2D6 and / or CYP3A4) or increased when administered to subjects known to be extensive metabolizers. In some embodiments, patients are tested using routine means known to those skilled in the art to determine whether they are extensive or extensive metabolizers of one or more such CYP enzymes.

[0276] In some embodiments, the genetic variation is a genetic variation in metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5), which is involved in mood and anxiety symptoms in humans. In another embodiment, the genetic variation is one or more single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the FKBP5 gene, which are associated with higher levels of FKBP51 protein compared to individuals lacking such SNPs. The FKBP5 gene is involved in responses to stress and trauma, and such SNPs are correlated with susceptibility to certain depression, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. In some embodiments, the genetic variation is an inclusion criterion for administration of the disclosed compounds. In some embodiments, the genetic variation is an exclusion criterion for administration of the disclosed compounds.

[0278] ii. Neurodegenerative disorders In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are used to treat neurodegenerative disorders. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are administered to a subject with a neurodegenerative disorder, for example, in a therapeutically effective amount. In some methods described herein, the disclosed compositions, when administered in a therapeutically effective amount, provide beneficial therapeutic effects in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders.

[0279] The term "neurodegenerative disorder" refers to a class of progressive, chronic, and debilitating conditions characterized by the gradual loss of structure and function of neurons within the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS). These disorders involve the degeneration, impairment, or death of nerve cells, resulting in a decline in cognitive, motor, and / or sensory abilities.

[0280] Neurodegenerative disorders can be classified according to primary clinical features, such as dementia, parkinsonism, or motor neuron disease; the anatomical distribution of neurodegeneration, such as frontotemporal degeneration, extrapyramidal disorders, or spinocerebellar degeneration; or the primary molecular abnormality (Dugger B, Dickson DW. Pathology of Neurodegenerative Diseases. Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology. 2017:9(7);a028035). These disorders may be associated with a variety of etiologies, including, but not limited to, the presence of pathogenic proteins, age, environmental stressors, and genetic predisposition (Armstrong R. Folia Neuropathologica. 2020:58(2);93-112).

[0281] In some embodiments, the neurodegenerative disorder is selected from the group consisting of Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Charcot's disease, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, corticobasal degeneration, dementia including vascular dementia, Huntington's disease, Ritiko-Bodig disease, mild cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, Parkinson's disease or parkinsonism, prion disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, and traumatic brain injury.

[0282] iii. Pain disorders In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are used to treat pain disorders. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are administered to a subject with a pain disorder, e.g., in a therapeutically effective amount. In some methods herein, the disclosed compositions, when administered in a therapeutically effective amount, provide a beneficial therapeutic effect in treating pain disorders.

[0283] "Pain disorder" refers to a class of medical conditions characterized by the experience of localized or widespread, persistent or recurrent physical or psychological pain that significantly impairs an individual's daily functioning and quality of life. These disorders may be of various etiologies, including, but not limited to, nociceptive, neuropathic, psychogenic, idiopathic, or radicular origin. In embodiments, the compounds are used to treat neuropathic pain. In embodiments, the compounds are used to treat psychogenic pain. In embodiments, the compounds are used to treat idiopathic pain.

[0286] iv. Inflammatory diseases Inflammation is a key immune response to tissue injury, such as microbial infection, acute injury, chemical irritant, or other dysregulation of normal tissue function. The inflammatory process is a hallmark of the innate immune system, whereby molecular patterns of tissue damage are recognized and responded to by various inflammatory substances, such as cytokines and chemokines. These inflammatory substances act directly to remove harmful stimuli and initiate various signaling responses to restore damaged tissue to a homeostatic state. While this response is often self-terminating, resolution of inflammation can fail for multiple reasons, prolonging the inflammatory response to a chronic stage (Ahmed AU. Front Biol. 2011:6(4):274-281). Chronic inflammation is often associated with or underlies a variety of pathological conditions, including major cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders (Nichols CD. Cardiovasc Psychiatry Neurol 2009:475-108).

[0287] Recent evidence supports the role of 5-HT in mediating the termination of the inflammatory response. 2A This suggests a significant role for serotonin receptor subtypes. 2A Receptors are found throughout the body, including both the central nervous system and peripheral tissues (Flanagan & Nichols. In'l Rev of Psychiatry. 2018;30(4):363-375). In the brain, 5-HT 2A The receptor is involved in cognitive function and working memory, mediates the effects of hallucinogen compounds, and has been implicated in the mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (Nichols CD. Cardiovasc Psychiatry Neurol. 2009;475108). 2AReceptors are found in multiple immune-related tissues, such as the spleen, thymus, and circulating lymphocytes, as well as components of both the innate and adaptive immune systems (Stefulj J et al., Brain Behav Immun. 2000 Sep;14(3):219-24; Cloez-Tayarani I et al., Int Immunol. 2003 Feb;15(2):233-40). 5-HT in these tissues 2A Research on receptors has shed light on their role in regulating immune responses (Flanagan TW, Nichols CD. Int Rev Psychiatry. 2018 Aug;30(4):363-375).

[0288] 5-HT in the brain 2A Due to its significant action on the psychedelic compound 5-HT 2A Several studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of receptors on inflammation regulation. One such study found that (R)-2,4-dimethoxy-4-iodoamphetamine ((R)-DOI) could potently suppress TNF-α-induced inflammation. This study also found that the psychedelic compounds 2C-BCB, LA-SS-Az, and LSD induced the same effect, albeit with slightly less potency (Yu et al., J Pharmacol Exp Ther. 2008;327:316-323). Notably, the potency required to achieve the anti-inflammatory effects of some psychedelic compounds is in the low picomolar range, which is approximately 500 times more potent than conventional corticosteroids at their target. Anti-inflammatory doses of psychedelics may also be below the threshold for producing subjective or behavioral effects, meaning they may exhibit anti-inflammatory effects without causing a psychedelic "trip."

[0289] This study, as well as subsequent in vitro and in vivo studies, demonstrated that (R)-DOI inhibited TNF-α-induced expression of genes encoding intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM1), the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-1β, and the chemokine monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1). (R)-DOI also blocked NF-κB activation and nuclear translocation, nitric oxide synthase activity, and downregulated the asthma-related protein arginase-1 (NauF Jr et al., PLoS One. 2013 Oct 2;8(10):e75426; Flanagan & Nichols. Int'l Review Psych. 2018.30(4),363-375; Flanagan et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2024;7(2):478-492). Furthermore, some psychedelic compounds potently suppress selected important pro-inflammatory biomarkers while leaving others unaffected. For biomarkers where suppression is evident, the suppression is so potent that even relatively high drug doses do not suppress below baseline levels, returning levels to baseline (Nichols CD. Neuropharmacol. 2022;219:109232). Thus, some psychedelics can reduce the expression of certain important inflammatory components without significantly impairing the immune response. This mechanism of action is unique among known anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents and may be advantageous because it predicts fewer side effects, such as opportunistic infections, associated with broad-spectrum immunosuppressants such as corticosteroids (ibid.).

[0290] Psychedelics have therapeutic potential as anti-inflammatory drugs, but there is considerable variability in the efficacy of different psychedelics. Due to the diversity of chemical structures among psychedelics, 5-HT 2AIt has been hypothesized that functional selectivity at receptors may occur, whereby specific ligands engage specific subsets of amino acid residues within the receptor's binding pocket, inducing stable conformational states that bind to different anti-inflammatory signaling effectors. This hypothesis is supported by the distinct peripheral effects of (R)-DOI and (R)-DOTFM, the former inducing anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse asthma model, whereas the latter does not (Flanagan et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2024). This finding is consistent with the findings of the anti-inflammatory phenethylamine 5-HT 2A This confirms previous studies that determined the primary pharmacophore of the receptor agonist to be 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine (2C-H) (Flanagan TW et al., ACS Pharmacol Transl Sci. 2020 Aug 13;4(2):488-502). However, 5-HT 2A The structure-activity relationships of anti-inflammatory agents with receptor agonist properties remain unclear.

[0291] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are potent anti-inflammatory agents that act on specific inflammatory mediators, thereby restoring chronically inflamed tissues to a healthy state. In some embodiments, the anti-inflammatory effects are exerted without broadly suppressing the immune system, which may be beneficial for treating inflammatory diseases where steroids are contraindicated or the condition is steroid-resistant.

[0292] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds reduce an inflammatory response in a subject. In some embodiments, the inflammatory response is quantified by a change in the level of an inflammatory response biomarker. In some embodiments, the level of an inflammatory response biomarker represents the expression level of an inflammatory response gene. For example, an increase in the level of an inflammatory response biomarker in a subject can be compared to a baseline level of the same biomarker, where the increase indicates increased expression of the inflammatory response gene encoding the biomarker. In some embodiments, increased expression of an inflammatory response gene can be associated with chronic inflammation. In some embodiments, decreased expression of an inflammatory response gene can be associated with chronic inflammation.

[0293] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds exhibit potent anti-inflammatory properties. In some embodiments, administration of the disclosed compounds suppresses several pro-inflammatory markers (e.g., mRNA encoding IL6, IL1b, GMCSF, Arg1, and IL5). In some embodiments, administration of the disclosed compounds suppresses pro-inflammatory markers to baseline levels. Without being bound by theory, the disclosed compounds may inhibit 5-HT 2A Compounds may exert their anti-inflammatory effects due to functional selectivity at the receptor, whereby they engage specific amino acid residues within the receptor and stabilize it in a conformation that triggers anti-inflammatory signaling pathway effectors.

[0294] In some embodiments, the biomarker of inflammatory response gene expression is mRNA. In some embodiments, the biomarker of inflammatory response gene expression is a protein.

In some embodiments, the inflammatory response gene encodes an inflammatory substance. An inflammatory substance is a protein that activates an inflammatory response. Inflammatory substances include, for example, the proteins IL-1β, TNFα, IL-15, IL-17, Arg-1, and IL-18. In some embodiments, the inflammatory response gene encodes an anti-inflammatory agent. An anti-inflammatory agent is a protein that reduces the inflammatory response. Anti-inflammatory agents include, for example, the proteins IL-1, IL-4, IL-10, IL-11, and IL-13. In some embodiments, the inflammatory response gene encodes a substance that can be pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. For example, leukemia inhibitory factor, interferon-α, IL-6, and transforming growth factor (TGF-β) can act as either a pro-inflammatory cytokine or an anti-inflammatory cytokine under various circumstances (Zhang JM, An J. Int Anesthesiol Clin. 2007 Spring;45(2):27-37).

[0311] In some embodiments, the inflammatory disease is a dermatitis disorder. Without being bound by theory, dermatitis refers to skin inflammation that can occur chronically due to skin barrier dysfunction, abnormal inflammatory response, and persistent itching (Nakahara T et al., J Dermatol. 2021; 48(2): 130-139; Beck LA et al., JID Innov. 2022; 2(5): 100131). Commonalities among dermatitis disorders include redness, persistent itching, and dry skin, but the clinical phenotypes of dermatitis disorders are highly heterogeneous, reflecting the diversity and complexity of the underlying mechanisms that lead to the disorder (Renert-Yuval Y et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2021; 147(4): 1174-1190.e1). Many of the inflammatory substances involved in chronic inflammation are also involved in the inflammatory response to dermatitis disorders, including, but not limited to, CCL17, CCL18, CCL22, CCL27, IL-4, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-19, IL-22, IL-26, IL-33, MMP12, and Th2 (Ahn K et al., Curr Opin Immunol. 2020;66:14-21; Renert-Yuval Y et al., J Allergy Clin Immunol. 2021;147(4):1174-1190.e1; Furue M et al., Iran J Immunol. 2019;16(2):97-107; Sroka-Tomaszewska J, Trzeciak M. Int J Mol Sci. 2021;22(8):4130; Fallon et al., Nat Genetics, 2009, 41:602-608). Effective treatments for dermatitis disorders often target inflammatory pathways, thereby modulating the inflammatory response and improving the symptoms of dermatitis disorders (Wollenberg A et al., Br J Dermatol. 2014;170 Suppl 1:7-11).

[0315] The reduction of inflammation, such as chronic systemic inflammation, can be measured according to various methods available to those skilled in the art. Inflammatory biomarkers can be detected from biological specimens, such as a subject's blood, for example, plasma or serum, or saliva. In one example, inflammation can be detected by measuring high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) and white blood cell count from a blood test. CRP can also be detected in saliva samples. Salivary CRP is not synthesized locally in the oral cavity, and may reflect a more systemic level of inflammation compared to other inflammatory biomarkers such as cytokines (Szabo & Slavish, Psychoneuroendocrin. 202;124:105069). In addition, clinical pathology data, such as hematology data on red blood cell parameters, platelet count, total white blood cell count, and white blood cell differentiation and morphology, coagulation data on clotting time and fibrinogen, and clinical chemistry data on total protein, albumin and globulin, liver enzymes, kidney parameters, electrolytes, and bilirubin, can provide an early indication of the presence and potential location of inflammation in the absence of specific data on immune tissues. See, for example, Germolec et al., Methods Mol Biol. 2018;1803:57-79 and Luo et al., Clin Lab. 2019 1;65(3).

[0316] v. Ophthalmological diseases and disorders In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds are used to treat ophthalmic diseases or disorders. Ophthalmic diseases and disorders are often caused by infection and / or inflammation of ocular tissues and are a leading cause of corneal blindness and visual impairment worldwide (Bourne RR et al., Lancet Glob Health. 2013;1(6):e339-49). Repeated episodes of infection or inflammation can trigger a chronic inflammatory disease process, resulting in neovascularization and subsequent vision-threatening scarring of the cornea (Vaidyanathan U et al., Med Hypothesis Discov Innov Ophthalmol. 2019;8(3):163-176). Corticosteroids are often used to control ocular inflammatory responses, but this treatment is immunosuppressive and can lead to uncontrolled pathogen replication, loss of an intact corneal epithelial barrier, increased intraocular pressure, and ultimately vision loss (Fung AT et al., Clin Exp Ophthalmol. 2020;48(3):366-401). In contrast, modulation with 5-HT receptor agonists has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic properties, as well as the ability to reduce intraocular pressure (Foster T et al., Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2020;61(7):429).

[0317] In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds can be used to alleviate or ameliorate or prevent ophthalmic diseases or disorders, non-limiting examples of which are described herein.

[0363] Example 7: Anti-inflammatory properties of compounds The anti-inflammatory properties of the disclosed compounds are evaluated in a mouse model of allergic asthma according to the method described in Flanagan et al., ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science 2020, 4(2), 488-502.

[0364] Procedure: Respiratory pathogen-free Brown Norway (RijHsd-BN) rats used in this example are housed singly in a pathogen-free animal facility with a 12-hour / 12-hour light / dark cycle and free access to food and water. The animal protocol follows the "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (Committee on Updates to the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, National Academies Press, Washington, DC (2011)). Rats are allowed to acclimate for at least 1 week before initiating sensitization with chicken ovalbumin grade V (OVA).

[0365] For sensitization, Brown Norway rats (7-9 weeks old) were intraperitoneally injected with 2.0 mg of chicken OVA (500 μL) emulsified in 2.0 mL of Imject Alum [Al(OH)3 / Mg(OH)2] on days 0 and 7 as described by Elwood et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol. 1991, 88(6), 951-60. The OVA challenge method is based on a previously described mouse model of acute asthma (Nau et al., Am J Physiol. Lung Cellular Mo Physiol. 2015, 308(2), L191-198).

[0366] Rats treated with OVA alone were exposed to 10 mg of OVA slowly dissolved in 10 mL of 0.9% sterile saline in a 15 L (38.00 × 19.05 × 19.7 cm) acrylic induction chamber three times a week. No more than six animals were exposed per challenge. OVA aerosol was generated at a 1.0% OVA concentration for a total of 30 minutes using an ultrasonic nebulizer combined with a Pari Proneb pump, as described in Palmans et al., Am J. Respir Crit Care Med. 2000, 161, 627-635.

[0367] For drug exposure, rats, in groups of 3-4 rats / group, are exposed to the appropriate concentration of drug dissolved in sterile saline in a total volume of 4.5 mL using the inExpose nasal-only inhalation system 30 min before each OVA challenge. Each 4.5 mL sample is aerosolized using a nebulizer in combination with a Pari Proneb pump. Exposure lasts for 15 min. All respiratory parameters are measured 48 h after the final OVA exposure.

[0368] To minimize the influence of circadian rhythm, all respiratory recordings were performed between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM (Lai et al., Bio-protocol. 2017, 7(12), e2343; Lai et al., J Neuro Sci. 2016, 36(50), 12661-12676; Pazhouhan et al., PLoS One. 2017, 12(10), e0187249). To measure airway responsiveness to MeCh, a noninvasive biased-flow ventilated whole-body plethysmography system was used in spontaneously breathing, unrestrained rodents. The plethysmograph was ventilated at a continuous flow rate of 2.5 L / min. A differential pressure transducer was connected to the main chamber with one pole and to the reference chamber with the second pole. The transducer measured the pressure difference between the two chambers caused by the respiratory cycle (primarily inspiration and expiration). Computer software provides an analysis of the breath-by-breath pressure signal and computationally converts the pressure difference into a dimensionless, empirically established value, enhanced pause or PenH.

[0369] Numerous experiments (Nau et al., Am J Physiol. Lung Cellular Mol Physiol 2015, 308(2), L191-198; Flanagan et al., Life Sci. 2019, 236, 116790; Hamelmann et al., Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 1997, 156, 766-775; Djuric et al., Brain, Behav. Immun. 1998, 12(4), 272-84) have shown that PenH is a reliable and sensitive measure of bronchoconstriction and is a superior measure for assessing the degree of bronchoconstriction compared with other derived parameters such as box pressure or box flow (Djuric et al., Brain, Behav. Immun. 1998, 12(4), 272-84). PenH also faithfully reproduces the results of forced ventilation techniques such as the flexiVent (flexiVent, SCIREQ, Montreal, CA) (Nau et al., American Journal of Physiology. Lung Cellular and Molecular Physiology 2015, 308(2), L191-198).

[0370] In the assay, the chamber pressure signal is calibrated by dynamically injecting 5 mL of room air via a syringe. Then, rats are placed in the chamber, and the plethysmograph records baseline data for 5 minutes after a 10-minute acclimation period. After baseline PenH measurements, either aerosolized saline (0.9% NaCl solution) or increasing concentrations of MeCh in water (4, 8, 16, and 32 mg / mL) are nebulized through the inlet of the plethysmography chamber for 3 minutes, followed by 3-minute PenH measurements. A vibrating mesh nebulizer is used to generate the aerosol. After recording, a 7-minute washout period is performed during which rats are provided with fresh air to prevent MeCh gradients. Data are presented as the mean SEM of maximum PenH values ​​per group.

[0371] Results: The results may indicate that certain disclosed compounds have potent anti-inflammatory properties, more specifically, they may reduce PenH max and suppress pulmonary inflammation.

[0372] Example 8: Evaluation of ocular inflammation after compound application Objective: Ocular inflammation and uveitis encompass sight-threatening diseases with local and systemic etiologies. Cytokines, such as IL-6 (Ghasemi, Ocul Immunol Inflamm. 2018;26(1):37-50) and IL-8 (Ghasemi et al., Ocul Immunol Inflamm. 2011 Dec;19(6):401-12), and neuropeptides, such as substance P (Bignami et al., Curr Drug Targets. 2016;17(11):1265-74), can contribute to ocular inflammation.

[0373] Methods: Ocular inflammation is assessed according to known methods with modifications. For example, ocular inflammation can be assessed in an induced model of uveitis (see, e.g., WO2015074137, which describes an endotoxin-induced model in Example 1 and an LPS-induced model in Example 2), a chemical cauterization model of corneal inflammation (see, e.g., WO2015074137, Example 4), or in a human subject at risk of experiencing or currently experiencing such inflammation.

[0374] Results and Significance: Application, e.g., topical application, of the disclosed compounds can prevent and / or reduce ocular inflammation. Reduced ocular inflammation can result in improvement in symptomatology associated with ocular inflammation, including, but not limited to, ocular redness, pain, and changes in vision (e.g., blurred vision).

[0375] Example 9: In vivo model for assessing atopic dermatitis after application of compounds Objective: Atopic dermatitis or eczema is characterized by chronic inflammation, which can lead to inflammatory symptoms such as skin irritation. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds and compositions are useful for treating atopic dermatitis. The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the therapeutic effects of the disclosed compounds and compositions (e.g., inhibiting and / or reducing various endpoints associated with atopic dermatitis) in a mouse in vivo model of atopic dermatitis. The model used in this study uses a flaky tail mouse strain that harbors a mutation in the gene encoding the epidermal protein filaggrin, which is comparable to the mutation underlying human atopic dermatitis or eczema (Fallon et al., Nat Genetics, 2009, 41:602-608). Topical application of ovalbumin to challenge these mice results in symptoms resembling atopic dermatitis. Mice typically develop eczema and elevated levels of inflammatory skin biomarkers after ovalbumin application. Exemplary measures of efficacy include skin flakiness, cutaneous type 2 helper T cells (Th2) and cytokine (such as IL4, IL5 and IL10) levels.

[0376] Methods: The protocol for applying ovalbumin to the skin of flaked-tail mice has been described (ibid.). Briefly, the abdomens of 3- to 5-week-old mice were shaved 24 hours before the skin application of an ovalbumin suspension (50 μg in 50 μL PBS), which was then applied to the abdomen as previously described (ibid.).

[0377] There are two experimental groups: in group 1, mice are pretreated with the disclosed compounds before and during ovalbumin application to examine their effectiveness in preventing and inhibiting the development of atopic dermatitis. In group 2, mice are treated with the disclosed compounds 4-5 weeks after ovalbumin treatment (after atopic dermatitis symptoms appear) to examine the compound's effectiveness in treating symptoms. For each compound tested, the compound is administered at several doses (e.g., intravenously, intramuscularly, or by oral gavage) to examine dose-dependent effects. After each experiment, mice are euthanized, and skin punch biopsies are taken from each abdomen, snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen, and homogenized in HTAB buffer. Samples are centrifuged, and the supernatants are subjected to cytokine profiling by ELISA for levels of biomarkers (e.g., Th2, IL4, IL5, and IL10) using protein standards for quantification.

[0378] Results: The results are expected to show that administration of the disclosed compounds or compositions prevents, inhibits, and / or treats symptoms of atopic dermatitis.

[0379] Example 10: In vitro metabolic stability of compounds The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate the metabolic stability of the disclosed compounds in an in vitro assay. The liver is the main site of drug metabolism in the body, and liver microsomes, hepatocytes, and liver S9 fractions can be used to determine the in vitro intrinsic clearance of compounds. See, for example, Ackley et al., Metabolic Stability Assessed by Liver Microsomes and Hepatocytes. In Yan & Caldwell (eds.) Optimization in Drug Discovery. Methods Pharmacol Toxicol. Humana Press, and Richardson et al., Drug Metab Lett. 2016;10(2):83-90).

[0380] Methods: Liver microsome stability assays are performed according to available methods, for example, as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2008 / 0045588, with modifications. Briefly, the assay is performed with 1 mg / mL liver microsomal protein using an NADPH-generating system in 2% NaHCO3 (2.2 mM NADPH, 25.6 mM glucose 6-phosphate, 6 units / mL glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 3.3 mM MgCl2). Test compounds are prepared as 20% aqueous acetonitrile and added to the assay mixture (final assay concentration 5 micrograms / mL) and incubated at 37°C. The final concentration of acetonitrile in the assay should be less than 1%. Aliquots (50 μL) are removed at 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 minutes and diluted with ice-cold acetonitrile (200 μL) to terminate the reaction. Samples are centrifuged at 12,000 RPM for 10 minutes to precipitate the protein. The supernatant is transferred to a microfuge tube and saved for LC / MS / MS analysis of the degradation half-life of the test compound.

[0381] Results and Significance: The results show a measure of the in vitro intrinsic clearance of the disclosed compounds. Such data provides a prediction of the metabolic stability and clearance of the compounds.

[0382] Example 11: In vivo evaluation of the behavioral effects of compounds using HTR Head-twitch response (HTR) in mice is induced by 5-HT 2A HTR is a behavioral test that reflects receptor activation and can predict psychedelic effects in humans (Halberstadt et al., J Psychopharmacol. 2011;25(11):1548-1561). 2A Receptor agonists and non-psychedelic 5-HT 2A Due to its ability to reliably distinguish from receptor agonists, it has been widely used as a behavioral surrogate for psychedelic effects in humans (Halberstadt & Geyer, Psychopharmacol (Berl). 2013;227(4):727-3).

[0383] Methods: The HTR assay was performed according to the method described in Klein et al., Neuropharmacol, 2018;142:231-239 to evaluate the effects of the disclosed compounds in mice. Male C57BL / 6J mice (6-8 weeks old) were obtained and housed in a vivarium that met all requirements for laboratory animal care and treatment. Mice were housed up to four per cage in a climate-controlled room with a reverse light cycle (lights on at 19:00, lights off at 07:00) and provided with free access to food and water except during behavioral testing. Testing was performed between 10:00 and 18:00. All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with applicable guidelines and approved by the appropriate animal care committee.

[0384] HTR is assessed using a head-mounted magnet and magnetometer detection coil, as previously described (Halberstadt & Geyer, Psychopharmacol (Berl). 2013;227(4):727-3, Halberstadt & Geyer, Neuropharmacol, 2014;77:200-7; Nichols et al., ACS Chem Neurosci. 2015;6(7):1165-1175). Briefly, mice are anesthetized, and a small neodymium magnet is attached to the dorsal skull using dental cement. After a 2-week recovery period, HTR experiments are performed in a well-lit room, with at least 7 days between sessions to avoid carryover effects.

[0385] Test compounds are dissolved in an appropriate solvent, such as water containing 5% Tween 80, and administered IP at 5 or 10 mL per kg of body weight immediately before testing. Different doses are tested to generate dose-response curves. Mice are injected with drug or vehicle, and HTR activity is recorded for 30 min within a glass cylinder surrounded by a magnetometer coil. The coil voltage is low-pass filtered (cutoff frequency 2 e 10 kHz), amplified, digitized (sampling rate 20 kHz), and then filtered offline (bandpass 40 e 200 Hz) using a Powerlab / 8SP (ADInstruments, Colorado Springs, CO, USA) with LabChart v 7.3.2.

[0386] Head twitches are manually identified based on the following criteria: 1) sinusoidal wavelets; 2) evidence of at least two consecutive head movements at a frequency of 40 Hz (usually shown as bipolar peaks); 3) amplitude above the level of background noise; 4) duration <0.15 seconds; and 5) stable coil voltage immediately before and after each response.

[0387] The number of head twitches is analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Post-hoc pairwise comparisons between selected groups are performed using Tukey's Studentized Range method. The entire recording is examined for head twitches. Because efficacy calculations can be confounded by long periods of inactivity, in some cases shorter time blocks are analyzed to accommodate compounds with a short duration of action.
