Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Cross-reference of related applications This application claims priority and interest in U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 509,267, filed on 20 June 2023, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

[0002] This disclosure generally relates to therapeutic combinations of fatty acid synthase inhibitors and thyroid hormone receptor agonists for the treatment of liver disease. [Background technology]

[0003] Fatty liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction (MASLD) (formerly known as non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD)) is a condition in which the liver contains more than 5% fat by weight, and is not caused by excessive alcohol consumption. It currently affects approximately 20-30% of the population in the United States and the general Western world, and is associated with a significant increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease (i.e., carotid artery atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction), chronic kidney disease, and malignant tumors, not just liver problems. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome are the three major risk factors for NAFLD / MASLD, characterized by an imbalance between energy utilization and storage. This imbalance leads to dysregulation of metabolic pathways and inflammatory responses, which in turn promote further changes leading to liver damage and comorbidities. As metabolic syndrome progresses, NAFLD / MASLD can lead to more advanced liver disease, starting with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) (formerly known as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)), which can then progress to severe cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

[0004] In 2023, the World Society for Liver Disease Medicine and patient groups formally decided to rename non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASH). Furthermore, the comprehensive term fatty liver disease (SLD) was established to encompass multiple types of liver diseases associated with fat accumulation in the liver.

[0005] Fatty acid synthesis in the liver, through a pathway called de novo lipogenesis (DNL), is increased in individuals with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD / MASLD (Donnelly, KL, et al., “Sources of Fatty Acids Stored in Liver and Secreted via Lipoproteins in Patients with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,” J. Clin. Invest. 115(5). 2005, 1343-51; Lambert, JE, et al., “Increased De Novo Lipogenesis Is a Distinct Characteristic of Individuals with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease,” Gastroenterology 146(3). 2014, 726-35). The DNL pathway not only produces fatty acids that contribute to increased triglyceride storage in the liver, but the fatty acids produced are saturated fatty acids, mainly palmitic acid, which contribute to signaling events that increase liver inflammation (Wei, Y., “Saturated Fatty Acids Induce Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress and Apoptosis Independently of Ceramide in Liver Cells,” Am.J.Physio.Endocrinol.Metab.291(2):2006,E275-81; Kakazu, E., et al., “Hepatocytes Release Ceramide-rich Proinflammatory Extracellular Vesicles in an IRE1alpha dependent manner,”Abstract 58.AASLD-The Liver Meeting, San Francisco, CA, USA, 13-17, November, 2015). One of the important enzymes in the DNL pathway is fatty acid synthase (FASN), which is solely responsible for the synthesis of palmitic acid.Therefore, DNL is an important pathway for therapeutic interventions to mitigate outcomes associated with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD / MASLD.

[0006] FASN inhibition holds potential as a treatment for a wide range of diseases, including cancer, viral diseases, metabolic disorders, NAFLD / MASLD, NASH / MASH, and inflammatory diseases (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, gout, pulmonary fibrosis, COPD, IBD, and graft rejection). Furthermore, FASN inhibition may offer therapeutic effects in cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis, type II diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Effective treatments for these diseases remain a significant unmet need.

[0007] FASN inhibition not only reduces hepatic fat but also acts directly on immune cells and hepatic stellate cells to alleviate inflammation and fibrosis. Heterocyclic FASN inhibitors are described in WO2012 / 122391, WO2014 / 008197, and WO2015 / 105860, and the use of some of the FASN inhibitors referenced above for the treatment of NAFLD / MASLD and NASH / MASH is described in WO2018 / 089904. The contents of the disclosures referenced above are incorporated herein by reference. Denifanstat (TVB-2640), one of the compounds described in the above referenced applications, is the first class of FASN inhibitors to demonstrate improvement in hepatic fat and biomarkers associated with inflammation and fibrosis in NASH / MASH studies.

[0008] Thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRβ) agonists reduce hepatic steatosis by increasing lipid oxidation, and the THRβ agonist resmethirome recently demonstrated significant resolution of NASH / MASH and improvement of fibrosis in a Phase III clinical trial and is approved for the treatment of non-cirrhotic NASH / MASH. While promising, the efficacy of the THRβ agonist resmethirome has not reached a histological response rate of 50%.

[0009] In fatty liver diseases such as NASH / MASH and NAFLD / MASLD, a combination of FASN inhibitors and other drugs, such as THRβ agonists, is necessary to complement and enhance the activity of FASN inhibitors. Furthermore, in fatty liver diseases such as NASH / MASH and NAFLD / MASLD, a combination of THRβ agonists and other drugs, such as FASN inhibitors, is necessary to complement and enhance the activity of THRβ agonists. [Overview of the project]

[0010] This disclosure addresses shortcomings in the treatment of metabolic diseases by providing novel therapeutic combinations of heterocyclic modulators of lipid synthesis and thyroid hormone receptor agonists. This provides multifaceted treatment for metabolic diseases with complex pathophysiologies. FASN inhibitors directly target inflammation (e.g., immune cells) and fibrosis (e.g., hepatic stellate cells), and indirectly target hepatic steatosis by inhibiting novel lipid synthesis. THR-β agonists may indirectly alleviate inflammation and fibrosis by reducing the effects of hepatic steatosis by increasing the breakdown of hepatic steatosis and / or beta-oxidation of fatty acids.

[0011] These different mechanisms can be additive or synergistic, potentially broadening or deepening the effectiveness response rate.

[0012] In a first aspect, the disclosure relates to a method for treating a disease (e.g., fatty liver disease, e.g., NAFLD / MASLD or NASH / MASH) to a subject in need of treatment for the disease, comprising administering a fatty acid synthase inhibitor and a thyroid hormone receptor (THR) agonist (e.g., a thyroid hormone receptor-beta (THR-β) agonist).

[0081] [Figure 1A]This graph shows the effects of compounds 001-152 and A in a human liver microtissue model under de novo lipid production (DNL) conditions, as measured by tissue triglyceride content. Monotherapy with compound 001-152 (30 nM and 3 μM) reduces cellular triglycerides in vitro in the human liver microtissue model. The combination of compound 001-152 and compound A enhances the effect of compound A, resulting in an overall increased efficacy compared to the monotherapy. This liver microtissue model includes hepatocytes, Kupffer cells, and liver endothelial cells. Liver microtissues were treated for 7 days. To model increased lipid accumulation within hepatocytes, microtissues were treated with sugars and free fatty acids (FFA). Graphs show mean ± standard deviation (SD). A two-sided t-test with Welsh correction *p<0.05 was used. [Figure 1B] This graph shows the effects of compounds 001-152 and A on a human liver microtissue model under NASH conditions, as measured by tissue triglyceride content. The model includes stellate cells and incorporates pro-inflammatory stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The liver microtissue model includes hepatocytes, hepatic endothelial cells, and hepatic stellate cells. Liver microtissues were treated for 10 days. Microtissues were treated with sugar, free fatty acids (FFA), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to model increased lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, inflammation, and fibrosis processes. Graphs show mean ± standard deviation (SD). A two-tailed t-test with Welsh correction *p<0.05 was used. [Figure 1C] This is a diagram showing the test timeline. [Figure 2]A is a graph showing NASH-induced intracellular triglyceride levels after administration of compound 001-152 as a monotherapy and in combination with other agents containing compound A. The graph shows that compound 001-152 monotherapy reduces cellular triglycerides in a human liver microtissue model. Other agents developed for NASH did not reduce triglycerides as effectively (see spotted bars). Compound 001-152 in combination with those agents (gray and black bars) reduced triglycerides more effectively. The combination of compound 001-152 with compound A (resmethirome or MGL-3196) reduced TG content to below basal levels. The graph shows median and interquartile ranges. B is a diagram showing the study timeline. [Figure 3] This table shows that, in a human liver microtissue model, the combination demonstrated improved and / or more consistent reductions in inflammatory markers MIP1a, IL-8, and TNFa (columns 7, 8), as well as IP10 (columns 5, 6), compared to monotherapy (compound A in columns 1 and 2, compounds 001-152 in columns 3 and 4). The combination also showed improved reduction in the fibrosis marker collagen 1 (columns 7 and 8) compared to monotherapy. These results suggest that the combination of compound 001-152 and compound A has the potential to improve the efficacy of the inflammatory and fibrotic pathways beyond the effects observed with monotherapy. In the table, "MGL" represents compound A, "U" represents an increased magnification change in NASH inflammation or fibrosis markers, and "D" represents a decreased magnification change in NASH inflammation or fibrosis markers. The magnitude of the effect is reflected in the grayscale tone of the field, with darker gray representing a more pronounced effect. Black fields indicate that data were not collected. [Figure 4A] This is a schematic diagram showing the test design. [Figure 4B]This graph shows the effect of the combination of compounds 001-152 and compound A on collagen 1α1 in human liver slices cultured under conditions mimicking human NASH. The graph demonstrates that the combination of compounds 001-152 and compound A improved the suppression of collagen 1α1, a fibrosis marker, compared to the single agents (see time points T72 and later). [Figure 5] This graph shows the effects of compounds 001-152 and A on collagen production in human primary hepatic stellate cells stimulated with 10 ng / ml TGF-beta over a 4-day treatment period. Compounds 001-152 directly inhibit collagen production (other cell types are not present in this model). * indicates p<0.05 compared to the vehicle control.

[0104] As used herein, the term "sulfonate" refers to the formula [ka] We intend to create a group having R in the formula. s is hydrogen, C1~C 10 Alkyl, C2~C 10 Alkenyl, C2~C 10 Alkinyl, C1~C 10 Alkanoyl, or C1-C 10 Selected from the group consisting of alkoxycarbonyls.

[0105] In this specification, "sulfonyl," used alone or as part of another group, refers to an SO2 group. The SO2 moiety may be substituted.

[0106] The compounds of this disclosure may exist as stereoisomers, in which case a chiral or asymmetric center is present. The stereoisomers are designated (R) or (S) depending on the arrangement of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. The terms (R) and (S) used herein refer to the arrangements defined in IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, Pure Appl. Chem., (1976), 45:13-30, which is incorporated herein by reference. This disclosure envisions a variety of stereoisomers and mixtures thereof, which are specifically included within the scope of this disclosure. Examples of stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, and mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of this disclosure can be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials having a chiral or asymmetric center, or they can be prepared by preparing racemic mixtures and then using resolution methods well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of these separation methods include (1) combining the enantiomer mixture with an auxiliary substance, separating the resulting diastereomer mixture by recrystallization or chromatography, and liberating the optically pure product from the auxiliary substance, or (2) directly separating the optical enantiomer mixture using a chiral liquid chromatography column.

[0107] Furthermore, the portion disclosed herein, which exists as multiple tautomer forms, includes all such forms encompassed by a given tautomer formula. For example, [ka] Compound 001-152, as described above, is also, for example, [ka] It is understood that this also includes.

[0108] A "tautomer" is one of two or more structural isomers that exist in equilibrium and are readily convertible from one isomeric form to another. This conversion involves a formal transfer of hydrogen atoms, with the switching of adjacent conjugated double bonds. Tautomers exist as a mixture of sets of tautomers in solution. In solutions where tautomerization is possible, a chemical equilibrium of tautomers is reached. The exact ratio of tautomers depends on several factors, including temperature, solvent, and pH. The concept of tautomers that can be interconverted by tautomerization is called tautomerism. One example of a moiety that exists in several tautomeric forms is 1,2,4-triazole, which exists in tautomeric forms known as 1H-1,2,4-triazole, 4H-1,2,4-triazole, and 3H-1,2,4-triazole, which rapidly interconvert. [ka]

[0109] Of the various types of tautomerism that are possible, two are commonly observed. In keto-enol tautomerism, a simultaneous shift of electrons and hydrogen atoms occurs. Ring chain tautomerism results from the reaction of an aldehyde group (-CHO) in a sugar chain molecule with one of the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in the same molecule, giving it a cyclic form, such as that exhibited by glucose.

[0110] Common tautomer pairs include ketone-enol, amide-nitrile, lactam-lactim, amide-imido acid tautomerism, imine-enamine, and enamine-enamine in heterocyclic rings (e.g., nucleic acid bases such as guanine, thymine, and cytosine). An example of keto-enol equilibrium is between pyridine-2(1H)-one and the corresponding pyridine-2-ol, as shown below. [ka]

[0111] The individual atoms in the disclosed compound may be any isotope of that element. For example, hydrogen may be in the form of deuterium.

[0112] "Pharmacopoeia-acceptable" means that a substance is approved, or may be approved, by a federal or state regulatory agency for use in animals, more specifically, in humans, or is listed in the United States Pharmacopeia or any other generally accepted pharmacopoeia. A substance that is "pharmacopoeia-acceptable" may be biologically undesirable or otherwise undesirable, i.e., it may be administered to an individual without causing an undesirable biological effect or without harmful interaction with any component of a composition containing it.

[0113] The term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" of a compound means a salt that is pharmaceutically acceptable and possesses the desired pharmacological activity of the parent compound. Such salts include, for example, acid addition salts and base addition salts.

[0114] The “acid addition salts” described in this disclosure are formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, etc., or with organic acids, such as acetic acid, propionic acid, hexanoic acid, cyclopentanepropionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, lactic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, 3-(4-hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 1,2-ethanedisulfic acid It is formed together with honic acid, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, 2-naphthalenesulfonic acid, 4-methylbicyclo-[2.2.2]octo-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid, glucoheptonic acid, 4,4'-methylenebis-(3-hydroxy-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid), 3-phenylpropionic acid, trimethylacetic acid, tertiary butylacetic acid, lauryl sulfate, gluconic acid, glutamic acid, hydroxynaphthoic acid, salicylic acid, stearic acid, muconic acid, etc.

[0115] The “base addition salts” described herein are formed when an acidic proton present in the parent compound is replaced by a metal ion, such as an alkali metal ion, an alkaline earth ion, or an aluminum ion, or when it coordinates with an organic base. Acceptable organic bases include ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, and N-methylglucamine. Acceptable inorganic bases include aluminum hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and sodium hydroxide. It should be understood that references to pharmaceutically acceptable salts include their solvation or crystalline form, particularly solvates or polymorphs. Solvates contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent and are often formed during the crystallization process. If the solvent is water, a hydrate is formed; if the solvent is an alcohol, an alcoholate is formed. Polymorphs include different crystalline packing configurations of the same elemental composition of the compound. Polymorphs typically exhibit different X-ray diffraction patterns, infrared spectra, melting points, densities, hardness, crystal shapes, optical and electrical properties, stability, and solubility. Due to various factors such as recrystallization solvent, crystallization rate, and storage temperature, the single-crystal form may become dominant.

[0116] The term “to treat” includes administering the compounds or agents of the present invention to a subject in order to prevent, delay, alleviate, halt, or suppress the onset of symptoms or conditions associated with fatty acid synthase-related disorders (e.g., cancer-related tumor growth). A skilled healthcare professional would know how to determine whether a patient has a fatty acid synthase-related disorder using standard methods, for example, by examining the patient and determining whether the patient has a disorder known to be associated with fatty acid synthase activity, or by measuring fatty acid synthase levels in the plasma or tissue of an individual suspected of having a fatty acid synthase-related disorder and comparing the fatty acid synthase levels in the plasma or tissue of an individual suspected of having a fatty acid synthase-related disorder with fatty acid synthase levels in the plasma or tissue of a healthy individual. Accordingly, the present invention provides, among other things, a method for administering the compounds of the present invention to a subject and measuring the fatty acid synthase activity in the subject. The fatty acid synthase activity in the subject can be determined before and / or after administration of the compound.

[0117] A "therapeutic dose" or "pharmaceutically effective dose" refers to the amount administered to a subject that produces the intended effect. For example, a "therapeutic dose" is sufficient to inhibit fatty acid synthase activity when administered to a subject to inhibit fatty acid synthase activity. When administered to a subject to treat a disease, a "therapeutic dose" is sufficient to treat that disease.

[0118] In some embodiments, the term “therapeutic dose” refers to a synergistically effective dose or a dose that is treated synergistically.

[0119] "Synergistic" means that the therapeutic effect of a FASN inhibitor when administered in combination with a THR agonist (e.g., a THR-β agonist) as described herein is greater than the predicted additive therapeutic effect when the FASN inhibitor and the THR agonist (e.g., a THR-β agonist) are administered individually. The terms "synergistic therapeutic dose" or "synergically effective dose" refer to a dose less than the standard therapeutic dose of one or both drugs, meaning that the amount required for the desired effect is less than when the drugs are used individually. A synergistic therapeutic dose may include cases where one drug is administered at a standard therapeutic dose and the other drug is administered at a dose less than the standard therapeutic dose. For example, a synergistic effect can be obtained by administering a therapeutic dose of a FASN inhibitor and a standard or less-than-standard therapeutic dose of a THR agonist (e.g., a THR-β agonist), and vice versa.

[0120] The term "therapeutic combination" is intended to encompass the sequential administration of two or more therapeutic agents (e.g., a fatty acid synthase inhibitor and a THR-β agonist of the Disclosure), where each therapeutic agent may be administered at different time points, and these therapeutic agents, or at least two of them, may be administered simultaneously or substantially simultaneously. Simultaneous administration can be achieved, for example, by administering a single capsule containing a fixed ratio of each therapeutic agent (e.g., a fatty acid synthase inhibitor and a THR-β agonist of the Disclosure), or multiple single capsules of each therapeutic agent. Sequential or substantially simultaneous administration of each therapeutic agent (e.g., a fatty acid synthase inhibitor and a THR-β agonist of the Disclosure) can be achieved by any suitable route, including but not limited to oral, intravenous, intramuscular, and direct absorption via mucosal tissue. The therapeutic agents may be administered by the same or different routes. For example, the first therapeutic agent of a selected combination may be administered by intravenous injection, while the other therapeutic agents of the combination may be administered orally. Alternatively, for example, all therapeutic agents may be administered orally, or all therapeutic agents may be administered by intravenous injection. The therapeutic agents may also be administered alternately.

[0121] Unless otherwise specified, the terms “subject” or “patient” are used interchangeably and refer to human patients and mammals such as non-human primates, as well as laboratory animals such as rabbits, rats, and mice, and other animals. Therefore, as used herein, the terms “subject” or “patient” mean any mammalian patient or subject to whom the compounds of the present invention can be administered. In exemplary embodiments of the present invention, commonly used screening methods are used to determine risk factors associated with the target or suspected disease or condition, or to identify a pre-existing disease or condition, in order to identify a target patient for treatment by the method of the present invention. Examples of these screening methods include conventional workups for determining risk factors associated with the target or suspected disease or condition. These methods and other routine methods enable clinicians to select patients who require treatment with the methods and formulations of the present invention.

[0583] Fatty acid synthesis pathway Various aspects of this disclosure relate to compositions and methods for modulating the activity of the fatty acid synthesis pathway to treat viral infections or cancer. The human fatty acid synthesis pathway can utilize four enzymes: 1) acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) capable of synthesizing malonyl-CoA, 2) malate enzyme capable of producing NADPH, 3) citrate lyase capable of synthesizing acetyl-CoA, and 4) fatty acid synthase capable of catalyzing the NADPH-dependent synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA. In various aspects, this disclosure relates to the treatment of viral infections and cancer by modulating the activity of fatty acid synthase proteins.

[0584] The final product of fatty acid synthase is a free fatty acid that can be used for separate enzymatic derivatization with coenzyme A for incorporation into other products. In humans, fatty acid synthesis can occur in two sites: one is the liver, where palmitic acid can be produced (Roncari, (1974) Can. J. Biochem., 52:221-230); the other is the mammary gland during lactation, where C 10 ~C 14 Fatty acids can be produced (Thompson, et al., (1985) Pediatr. Res., 19:139-143).

[0585] Fatty acids can be synthesized from acetyl-CoA in the cytoplasm. Acetyl-CoA can be produced from pyruvate by pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and by β-oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria. The "citrate shuttle" can transport acetyl-CoA from mitochondria to the cytoplasm. Acetyl-CoA can react with oxaloacetate to produce citrate, and tricarboxylic acid translocase can transport citrate from mitochondria to the cytosol. In the cytoplasm, citrate can be converted back to oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA, a reaction that can be catalyzed by ATP-citrate lyase. Oxaloacetate can be converted back to pyruvate for re-entry into mitochondria.

[0586] Acetyl-CoA can be converted to malonyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is a complex, polyfunctional biotin-containing enzyme system that can catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA. This conversion is an irreversible rate-limiting step in fatty acid synthesis. ACC can perform three functions: biotin carboxyl carrier protein, biotin carboxylase, and carboxyltransferase. Following ATP-dependent carboxylation of biotin, a prosthetic group (cofactor), it can transfer the carboxyl group to acetyl-CoA. HCO3 - +ATP+acetyl-CoA->ADP+Pi +Maronyl-CoA

[0587] Two distinct ACC forms, alpha and beta, exist, encoded by two different genes, ACC-alpha (also known as ACC, ACAC, ACC1, ACCA, and ACACA), which may encode proteins highly enriched in adipose tissues. For this gene, multiple alternatively spliced ​​transcript variants have been found, with branched sequences encoding distinct isoforms. ACC-beta (also called ACC2, ACCB, HACC275, and ACACB) may encode a protein thought to regulate fatty acid oxidation by the ability of malonyl-CoA to inhibit carnitine-palmitoyl-CoA transferase I. Carnitine-palmitoyl-CoA transferase I is the rate-limiting step in mitochondrial fatty acid uptake and oxidation. ACC-beta may be more involved in regulating fatty acid oxidation than in fatty acid biosynthesis. There is evidence for the existence of two ACC-beta isoforms.

[0588] ACC can be regulated by phosphorylation / dephosphorylation of targeted serine residues. For example, AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) can phosphorylate ACC, and this phosphorylation may inhibit ACC's ability to produce malonyl-CoA. In ACACA, AMPK can phosphorylate Ser79, Ser1200, and Ser1215 (Park SH et al. (2002) J. Appl. Physiol. 92:2475-82). AMPK can phosphorylate Ser218 on ACACB (Hardie DG (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1123:231-8). In addition, cAMP-dependent protein kinase (protein kinase A, i.e., PKA) can phosphorylate ACC.

[0589] ACC can be regulated by allosteric conversion with citrate or palmitoyl-CoA. For example, citrate can be a positive effector (i.e., citrate can allosterically activate ACC). Citrate concentrations can be high when sufficient acetyl-CoA enters the Krebs cycle. Excess acetyl-CoA can then be converted to fatty acids via malonyl-CoA. Palmitoyl-CoA can be a negative effector. Palmitoyl-CoA, a product of fatty acid synthase (FASN), can promote the inactive conformation of ACC, thereby reducing the production of malonyl-CoA (feedback inhibition process). AMP can regulate fatty acid synthesis by regulating the availability of malonyl-CoA. When insulin binds to its receptor, phosphatases are activated to dephosphorylate ACC, potentially eliminating the inhibitory effect.

[0590] The fatty acid synthase gene (FAS, OA-519, SDR27X1; MGC14367; MGC15706; also known as FASN) is involved in fatty acid synthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene is a multifunctional protein of approximately 272 kDa with multiple domains, each possessing distinct enzymatic activity that can play a role in fatty acid biosynthesis. FASN can catalyze the synthesis of palmitate from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to long-chain saturated fatty acids in the presence of NADPH. In some cancer cell lines, the FASN protein has been found to be fused with the estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha), where the N-terminus of FASN is fused in-frame with the C-terminus of ER-alpha.

[0591] The FASN protein can exist in the cytosol as a dimer of identical subunits. FASN consists of three catalytic domains in its N-terminal section: ketoacyl synthase (KS), malonyl / acetyltransferase (MAT), and dehydrase (DH). The N-terminal section is separated from four C-terminal domains (enoyl reductase (ER), ketoacyl reductase (KR), acyl carrier protein (ACP), and thioesterase (TE)) by a core region of approximately 600 amino acids. Crystal structures of mammalian fatty acid synthases have been reported (Maier T. et al. (2008) Science 321:1315-1322). Each of the catalytic domains of FASN can be targeted in the methods for treating viral infections of the invention provided.

[0592] The enzymatic steps of fatty acid synthesis may include decarboxyl condensation, reduction, dehydration, and further reduction, which can result in a saturated acyl moiety. NADPH can be a charge donor in reduction reactions.

[0593] Usefulness in metabolic disorders In various aspects, the therapeutic combinations described herein may be useful in the treatment of metabolic diseases. FASNs have been demonstrated to be involved in the regulation of glucose, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism. Mice with liver-specific inactivation of FASNs have normal physiological function unless fed a fat-free diet, in which case they develop hypoglycemia and fatty liver, both of which are reversible with dietary fat. (Chakravarhy, MV, et al. (2005) Cell Metabolism 1:309-322). Db / + mice fed a high-fructose diet showed reduced liver triglyceride levels and improved insulin sensitivity when treated for 28 days with platensimycin, a covalent inhibitor of FASNs. (Wu, M. et al. (2011) PNAS 108(13):5378-5383). Ambient glucose levels also decreased in db / db mice after treatment with platensimycin. These results provide evidence that inhibiting FASN may yield therapeutic benefits in animal models of diabetes and related metabolic disorders. Therefore, the disclosed FASN inhibitors may be useful in treating disorders characterized by dysregulation in these systems, including, but not limited to, steatosis and diabetes.

[0594] Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease / metabolic disorder-associated fatty liver disease (NAFLD / MASLD) is a condition in which the liver contains more than 5% fat by weight and is not caused by alcohol consumption. It currently affects approximately 20-30% of the population in the United States and the general Western world, and is associated with a significant increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and malignant tumors, not just liver disease. Obesity and metabolic syndrome are two major risk factors for NAFLD / MASLD, characterized by an imbalance between energy utilization and storage. This imbalance leads to dysregulation of metabolic pathways and inflammatory responses, which in turn promote further changes leading to liver damage and comorbidities. As metabolic syndrome progresses, NAFLD / MASLD can lead to more advanced liver disease, starting with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis / metabolic disorder-associated fatty liver disease (NASH / MASH), and subsequently progressing to severe liver diseases such as cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.

[0595] The synthesis of fatty acids in the liver, via a pathway called hepatic de novo lipidogenesis (DNL), is increased in individuals with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD / MASLD. The DNL pathway not only produces fatty acids that contribute to increased hepatic triglyceride storage, but the fatty acids produced, primarily saturated fatty acids, mainly palmitic acid (C16:0), contribute to signaling events that increase hepatic inflammation. Free palmitic acid fatty acids are also involved in hepatic inflammatory processes, including macrophage recruitment and activation of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response.

[0596] Thyroid hormones play a central role in liver function, influencing a range of health parameters from serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels to pathological fat accumulation in the liver, through the activation of their β-receptors in hepatocytes. THR-β action is key to proper liver function, including the regulation of mitochondrial activity such as hepatic fat breakdown and the control of normal, healthy mitochondrial levels. Patients with NASH / MASH have reduced THR-β receptor activity in the liver.

[0597] Accordingly, in various embodiments, the present disclosure provides methods for treating NASH / MASH or symptoms of NASH / MASH in subjects, the methods comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of a fatty acid synthase inhibitor in combination with a thyroid hormone receptor agonist (e.g., a THR-beta agonist), wherein the thyroid hormone receptor agonist has formula (XXI), and the fatty acid synthase inhibitor has formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VI-J), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), (XIII), (XIV), (XV), (XVI), (XVII), (XVIII), (XIX), (XX), or those shown in Table C-1, Table C-2, or Table C-3. In further embodiments, therapeutic combinations may be used for the manufacture of agents for treating NASH / MASH or the symptoms of NASH / MASH. In further embodiments, therapeutic combinations may be used to treat NASH / MASH or the symptoms of NASH / MASH. In some embodiments, NASH / MASH is established in the subject, and treatment with the compounds of the Disclosure may reduce or eliminate the symptoms and etiologies of NASH / MASH, such as systemic steatosis, fatty liver, steatohepatitis, inflammation, inflammation of the liver, lysosomal acid lipase deficiency, and cirrhosis. In other embodiments, the treatment may be used prophylactically to prevent the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease / metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (NAFLD / MASLD), the onset of NASH / MASH, the progression from NAFLD / MASLD to NASH / MASH, or to halt the progression of NASH / MASH disease. Whether prophylactic or in the case of established NAFLD / MASLD or NASH / MASH disease, treatment of fatty liver disease reduces risk factors associated with the establishment or progression of diabetes, liver cancer, cardiovascular disease, high triglycerides, kidney disease, and metabolic syndrome.

[0598] Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method for treating non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, comprising administering a fatty acid synthase inhibitor in combination with a thyroid hormone receptor agonist (e.g., a THR-beta agonist) to subjects in need of treatment for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, wherein the thyroid hormone receptor agonist has formula (XXI), and the fatty acid synthase inhibitor has formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VI-J), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), (XIII), (XIV), (XV), (XVI), (XVII), (XVIII), (XIX), (XX), or those shown in Table C-1, Table C-2, or Table C-3, and the method comprises improving at least one symptom of established non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. In some embodiments, the method includes preventing the progression of at least one symptom of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. In some embodiments, the symptom is selected from elevated AST levels, elevated ALT levels, elevated GGT levels, elevated liver triglyceride levels, elevated cholesterol levels, fatty liver, liver inflammation, liver ballooning, liver fibrosis, and NAFLD activity score.

[0599] Furthermore, as described in Example 6, the compounds of this disclosure (e.g., compound 002-386) have been found to reduce the expression of fibrosis-related genes in human hepatocytes. Thus, in some embodiments, the therapeutic combinations of this disclosure can reduce the expression of fibrosis-related genes (e.g., Col 1a1, αSMA, βPDGFR, TGFbR1, TIMP1, TIMP2, and / or MMP2). In some embodiments, gene expression may return after withdrawal of the compound (e.g., compound 002-386). Therefore, although we do not wish to be bound by theory, downregulation of fibrosis-related genes is not a toxic effect of the compounds of this disclosure.

[0600] Accordingly, in various embodiments, the Disclosure provides a method for reducing the expression of fibrosis-related genes in a subject (e.g., hepatocytes of the subject), the method comprising administering to a subject requiring such treatment an effective amount of a fatty acid synthase inhibitor in combination with a thyroid hormone receptor agonist (e.g., a THR-beta agonist), where the thyroid hormone receptor agonist has formula (XXI), and the fatty acid synthase inhibitor has formulas (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VI), (VI-J), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), (XIII), (XIV), (XV), (XVI), (XVII), (XVIII), (XIX), (XX), or those shown in Table C-1, Table C-2, or Table C-3. In further embodiments, the therapeutic combination may be used to manufacture a drug for reducing the expression of fibrosis-related genes (e.g., in hepatocytes). In a further embodiment, the therapeutic combination may be used to reduce the expression of fibrosis-related genes (for example, in hepatocytes).

[0601] Cardiovascular disease is closely linked to the progression of metabolic syndrome. However, NAFLD / MASLD is also a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease, independently of the presence of metabolic syndrome, including an increased risk of carotid artery atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction (Francis WB, et al., “De novo lipogenesis in the liver in health and disease: more than just a shunting yard for glucose.” Biol. Rev. (2016), 91, pp. 452-468). NAFLD / MASLD has also been identified as an independent contributing factor to the development of type II diabetes. The incidence of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes is 2.6 times higher in individuals with NAFLD / MASLD, suggesting an independent role in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes other than early insulin resistance (Francis WB, Biol. Rev. (2016), pp. 452-468; Bae, JC, et al., “Combined effect of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and impaired fasting glucose on the development of type 2 diabetes.” Diabetes Care, 2011, 34, 727-729). Therefore, DNL is an important pathway for therapeutic interventions to mitigate outcomes associated with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD / MASLD (Bae, JC, Diabetes Care, 2011, 727-729).

[0602] NAFLD / MASLD and NASH / MASH are associated with obesity and diabetes in people who consume high-fat, high-calorie diets. Fatty acid synthesis in the liver (i.e., synthesized via the hepatic denominative lipogenesis (DNL) pathway) is increased in subjects with metabolic syndrome and NAFLD / MASLD. One of the key enzymes in DNL is fatty acid synthase (FASN). While there is a promising link between FASN, DNL, ​​and NAFLD / MASLD, there is little evidence that direct inhibition of FASN is an effective mechanism for treating NAFLD / MASLD or controlling the progression of fatty liver. Several literature reports on direct intervention of FASN with gene knockout inhibitors or small molecule inhibitors have yielded results suggesting exacerbation of fatty liver, which is the opposite of the effect needed to treat NAFLD / MASLD or NASH / MASH. These results suggest that FASN inhibition is not expected to alleviate fatty liver disease, nor is it an appropriate mechanism for controlling the underlying metabolic dysregulation or inflammatory signaling that promotes the progression of fatty liver disease.

[0603] For example, liver-specific FASN knockout mice have been shown to have normal livers when maintained on a standard diet. Unexpectedly, when fed a zero-fat / high-carbohydrate diet, the mice developed fatty liver (hepatic steatohepatia) and hypoglycemia, and it has been shown that complete inhibition of FASN in the liver of mammals fed a fat-restricted diet leads to the development of NAFLD / MASLD, a precursor to NASH / MASH (Chakravarthy, MV, et al., “New hepatic fat activates PPARalpha to maintain glucose, lipid, and cholesterol homeostasis,” Cell Metabol. 1(5), 2005, 309-322). When knockout mice were fed a normal diet, no effects on metabolism or the development of fatty liver due to complete inhibition of FASN by the knockout were observed. This indicates that FASN inhibition in the liver does not affect mammals consuming a fat-containing diet, or that it induces fatty liver conditions (leading to NAFLD / MASLD and NASH / MASH) in mammals consuming a low-fat / high-carbohydrate diet and provides the counter-effect necessary for treating NASH / MASH.

[0604] Small molecule inhibitors of FASNs have been used to assess insulin resistance and fatty liver. Recent studies in obese, insulin-resistant Zucker rats (a type II diabetes model) have shown that inhibition of de novo lipogenesis by small molecule FASN inhibitors did not improve insulin sensitivity and actually increased hepatic fat levels (i.e., hepatic steatohepatism). While FASN inhibitors have also been shown to inhibit de novo lipogenesis in the liver, they result in hepatic steatohepatism or increased fat deposition in the liver ("A Novel Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor (FASi) Suppresses De Novo Lipogenesis but induces Hepatic Steatosis, Dermatitis and does not enhance Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Zucker Rats," Am. Diabetes Assoc. 68th Scientific Sessions, June 6-10, 2008, San Francisco, CA, poster 58LB; WO2008059214). These studies have shown that direct inhibition of FASN reduces lipoprotein synthesis in the liver, but accelerates the development of NAFLD / MASLD and NASH / MASH in obese, diabetic mammals. Therefore, FASN inhibition is not expected to have a therapeutic effect on fatty liver disease in obese and diabetic individuals who are at the highest risk of developing NAFLD / MASLD and NASH / MASH.

[0605] The therapeutic methods and combinations described in this application control NAFLD / MASLD in rodents and reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, and Th 17 Anti-inflammatory T cells are produced from pro-inflammatory cells such as cellular cells. regIt is useful in regulating the differentiation of T cells into other cells. The FASN inhibitors of this application can be used to treat various forms of metabolic syndrome, including non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD / MASLD) and the more advanced non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH / MASH). If left untreated, these liver dysfunction conditions can progress to serious liver diseases, including cirrhosis, in which fatty deposits, inflammation, fibrosis, and steatohepatitis are observed in the liver, and can eventually progress to liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). Cirrhosis can cause direct health effects due to liver dysfunction, specifically spider angiomas or nevi, palmar erythema, gynecomastia, hypogonadism, ascites, hepatic halitosis, jaundice, splenomegaly, esophageal varices, Medusa's head, hepatic encephalopathy, and portal hypertension, which can lead to acute kidney injury (especially hepatorenal syndrome). In some embodiments, the therapeutic combinations of the present disclosure can be used to treat metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD / MASLD), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH / MASH), cirrhosis, hepatic fibrosis, and / or liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma). In some embodiments, the therapeutic combinations of the present disclosure may be used to treat type II diabetes. In some embodiments, the therapeutic combinations of the present disclosure may be used to treat atherosclerosis.

[0606] The therapeutic methods and combinations of this application can also be used to treat inflammatory diseases by inducing changes in inflammation-inducing cytokines.

In some embodiments, diseases or conditions in which IL-1 beta is elevated or regulated by IL-1 beta include: Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF); Septic Arthritis, Pyoderma Gangrenosum, Acne (PAPA); Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS); High IgD Syndrome (HIDS); Adult and Juvenile Still's Disease; Schnitzler Syndrome; TNF Receptor-Associated Periodic Syndromes (TRAPS); Blau Syndrome; Sweet's Syndrome; IL-1 Receptor Antagonist Deficiency (DIRA); Relapsing Idiopathic Pericarditis; Macrophage Activation Syndrome (MAS); Urticarial Vasculitis The following are selected: antisynthetase syndrome; relapsing polychondritis; Behçet's disease; Erdheim-Chester syndrome (histiocytosis); synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, osteitis (SAPHO); rheumatoid arthritis; periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, lymphadenitis syndrome (Adenitis syndrome (PFAPA)); uric acid crystalline arthritis (gout); type 2 diabetes mellitus; smoldering multiple myeloma; post-myocardial infarction heart failure; osteoarthritis; transfusion-associated acute lung injury; ventilator-induced lung injury; pulmonary fibrosis including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); and asthma. In some embodiments, the disease or condition in which IL-1 beta is elevated or modulated by IL-1 beta is acne.

[0607] The therapeutic methods and combinations described herein treat diseases or conditions associated with elevated levels of inflammatory T cells and / or reduced or insufficient levels of anti-inflammatory T cells, or by diverting the differentiation of leukocytes (i.e., T cells) away from helper T cells and promoting the development of anti-inflammatory regulatory T cells (T cells). reg It can also be used to treat diseases or conditions in which increasing the number of cells is beneficial. reg Cells are essential for immune tolerance, and T helper cells (i.e., Th1, Th2, Th9, Th)17 They play a crucial role in limiting excessive immune and inflammatory responses carried out by (etc.). Therefore, shunting the differentiation of T helper cells into regulatory T cells by FASN inhibition can be used to treat inflammatory diseases.

[0608] The therapeutic method or combination of treatments described herein inhibits the maturation of T cells into T helper inflammatory cells (T helper cells that may be inhibited include Th1, Th2, Th9, and Th1). 17 Examples include, but are not limited to, T reg It can promote their differentiation into cells. Naive CD4+ cells differentiate into T helper and regulatory T cells to perform their immunological functions. Differentiation depends on the presence of cytokines. 17 T helper cells, such as those found in cellular cells, play a crucial role in the protective immune response against intracellular pathogens. However, excessive immune responses exerted by these T helper cells can also cause autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Examples of immune-mediated diseases that can be treated with the FASN inhibitors of this application include, but are not limited to, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, tumorigenesis, and graft rejection (Laura, A., et.al., “Th17 cells in human disease,” Immunol. Rev. 223, 2008, 87-113; Lee, Y., et.al., “Unexpected targets and triggers of autoimmunity.” J. Clin. Immunol., 34 Suppl 1, 2014, S56-60).

[0621] Rapidly proliferating cancer cells activate the fatty acid synthesis pathway to supply high levels of lipids necessary for membrane assembly and oxidative metabolism (Flavin, R. et al. (2010) Future Oncology. 6(4):551-562). Inhibitors of fatty acid synthesis have shown in vivo activity in preclinical cancer models (Orita, H. et al. (2007) Clinical Cancer Research. 13(23):7139-7145, and Puig, T. et al. (2011) Breast Cancer Research, 13(6):R131). Furthermore, fatty acid synthesis assists in new angiogenesis, and inhibitors of this pathway have activity in in vitro models of angiogenesis (Browne, CD, et al. (2006) The FASEB Journal, 20(12):2027-2035). The compounds of this disclosure demonstrated the ability to selectively induce cell cycle arrest in HUVEC cells without causing systemic cell death by apoptosis. Please refer to the examples.

[0622] The cancer treatment of the present invention includes an antitumor effect that can be evaluated by conventional means such as response rate, time to disease progression, and / or survival rate. The antitumor effect of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, inhibition of tumor growth, delay of tumor growth, tumor regression, tumor reduction, increased time to tumor regrowth after discontinuation of treatment, and deceleration of disease progression. For example, when the combination of the present invention is administered to a warm-blooded animal such as a human requiring treatment for cancer with solid tumors, such a treatment method would produce an effect that can be measured, for example, by one or more of the degree of antitumor effect, response rate, time to disease progression, and survival rate.

[0623] In various embodiments, the disclosed therapeutic combinations are useful for reducing triglycerides in subjects requiring a reduction in triglycerides. In one embodiment, the disclosure relates to a method for reducing triglycerides by combining a fatty acid synthase inhibitor of the disclosure (e.g., compounds of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (IV), (V), (VI), (VI-J), (VII), (VIII), (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), (XIII), (XIV), (XV), (XVI), (XVII), (XVIII), (XIX), or (XX)) with a thyroid receptor hormone agonist (e.g., a compound of formula (XXI)).

[0624] Inhibition of fatty acid synthesis Reducing the activity of the fatty acid synthesis pathway, such as FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity, is also called "inhibiting" the fatty acid synthesis pathway, such as FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity. The term "inhibit" and its grammatical conjugations, such as "inhibitory," refer to a reduction in fatty acid synthesis activity, such as FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity, without requiring complete inhibition. In another aspect, such a reduction is at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 90%, and can reach at least 95% of the enzyme activity in the absence of an inhibitor, for example. Conversely, the phrase "not inhibit" and its grammatical conjugations refer to a situation in which enzyme activity is reduced by less than 20%, less than 10%, and possibly less than 5%, in the presence of a drug. Furthermore, the phrase "substantially not inhibit" and its grammatical conjugations refer to a situation in which enzyme activity is reduced by less than 30%, less than 20%, and possibly less than 10%, in the presence of a drug.

[0625] Increasing the activity of the fatty acid synthesis pathway, for example, FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity, is also called "activating" the fatty acid synthesis pathway, for example, FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity. The term "activated" and its grammatical conjugations such as "activate" refer to an increase in the activity of the fatty acid synthesis pathway, for example, FASN gene expression or FASN protein activity, without requiring complete activation. In another aspect, such an increase is at least 50%, at least 75%, at least 90%, and can reach at least 95% of the enzyme activity in the absence of an activating effect, for example, in the absence of an activator. Conversely, the phrase "not activated" and its grammatical conjugations refer to a situation in which enzyme activity increases by less than 20%, less than 10%, and possibly less than 5%, in the presence of a drug. Furthermore, the phrase "substantially unactivated" and its grammatical conjugations refer to a situation in which enzyme activity increases by less than 30%, less than 20%, and possibly less than 10%, in the presence of a drug.

[0626] The ability to reduce enzyme activity is a measure of how potent or active a drug or combination of drugs is against that enzyme. Efficacy is measured by cell-free, whole-cell, and / or in vivo assays using IC50, K50, and K50. i It can be measured with respect to the and / or ED50 value. The IC50 value represents the concentration of the drug required to inhibit enzyme activity by half (50%) under a given set of conditions. i The value represents the equilibrium affinity constant for the binding of the inhibitor to the enzyme. The ED50 value represents the dose of the drug required to produce a maximum half-dose response in a biological assay. Further details of these measures are understood by those skilled in the art and can be found in standard textbooks on biochemistry, enzymology, etc.
