CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 654,108, filed April 6, 2018. [Background technology]
[0002] The complement system is part of the body's immune system, enhancing the ability of antibodies and phagocytes to destroy and eliminate foreign substances (e.g., pathogens) within the body. The complement system comprises a group of plasma proteins that interact to attack the extracellular structures of pathogens, inducing a series of inflammatory responses that help fight infection. Complement activation can occur through several pathways. For example, complement activation can occur spontaneously in response to a specific pathogen or by antibody binding to the pathogen. Activation of complement proteins triggers a cascade, with one complement protein in turn inducing the activation of the next. The activation of a small number of complement proteins at the start of the pathway is enormously amplified by each subsequent enzymatic reaction, resulting in a rapid, disproportionately large complement response (Non-Patent Document 1). Healthy organisms have regulatory mechanisms to prevent unregulated complement activation.
[0003] Once activated, complement proteins can bind to pathogens, opsonizing them for uptake by phagocytes bearing complement receptors. Small fragments of some complement proteins then act as chemoattractants, recruiting more phagocytes to the site of complement activation and further activating these phagocytes. Complement proteins then form holes or pores in the invading organism, leading to its destruction. Complement plays an important role in defending the body against foreign substances but can also destroy healthy cells and tissues. Inappropriate activation of complement is associated with many disease states affecting the immune, renal, cardiovascular, and nervous systems (Non-Patent Document 2). Therefore, there is a need for the development of additional complement inhibitors that are therapeutically effective in treating many disorders. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]

[0061] The term "substituted" is also intended to include all permissible substituents of organic compounds. Broadly speaking, the permissible substituents include acyclic and cyclic, branched and unbranched, carbocyclic and heterocyclic, aromatic and nonaromatic substituents of organic compounds. Illustrative substituents include, for example, those described herein above. The permissible substituents can be one or more and the same or different for appropriate organic compounds. For purposes of this invention, heteroatoms such as nitrogen can have hydrogen substituents and / or any permissible substituents of organic compounds described herein that satisfy the valence of the heteroatom. This invention is not intended to be limited in any way by the permissible substituents of organic compounds.
[0062] As used herein, the term "substituted or unsubstituted," when placed before a list of chemical moieties, means that the list of chemical moieties that follows is substituted or unsubstituted, respectively. For example, "substituted or unsubstituted aryl, heteroaryl, and cycloalkyl" means substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, and substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl.
[0063] The term "protecting group," as used herein, refers to temporary substituents that protect a potentially reactive functional group from undesired chemical transformations.

[0156] Formulation, route of administration, and dosage The compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient, in a variety of forms consistent with the selected route of administration, e.g., oral or parenteral, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, topical, or subcutaneous. Additional routes of administration are also contemplated by the present invention.
[0157] Thus, the compounds may be administered systemically, e.g., orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, such as an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, compressed into tablets, or incorporated directly into the food of the patient's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be combined with one or more excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of the active compound. Of course, the percentage of the compositions and preparations may vary and may conveniently be about 2% to about 60% of the weight of a given unit dosage form. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage level will be obtained.
[0158] Tablets, troches, pills, capsules, etc. may also contain the following diluents and carriers: binders such as gum tragacanth, gum arabic, corn starch, or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; disintegrating agents such as corn starch, potato starch, or alginic acid; lubricants such as magnesium stearate; and sweeteners such as sucrose, fructose, lactose, or aspartame, or flavoring agents such as peppermint, wintergreen oil, or cherry flavor. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, in addition to the above-mentioned materials, it may contain liquid carriers such as vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may be present as coatings or otherwise to modify the physical form of the solid unit dosage form. For example, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with gelatin, wax, shellac, sugar, etc. Syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose or fructose as a sweetener, methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives, dyes, and flavoring agents such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used to prepare any unit dosage form must be pharmaceutically acceptable and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and devices.
[0159] The active compound can also be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally by infusion or injection.The solution of the active compound or its salt can be prepared in water or a physiologically acceptable aqueous solution, and optionally can be mixed with a non-toxic surfactant.Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycol, triacetin, and their mixtures, and in oil.These preparations contain preservatives to prevent the growth of microorganisms under normal storage and use conditions.
[0160] Pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion may include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or powders containing the active ingredient, optionally encapsulated in liposomes, suitable for the preparation of extemporaneous sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the ultimate dosage form must be sterile, fluid, and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. Liquid carriers or vehicles can be solvents or liquid dispersion media containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, etc.), vegetable oils, nontoxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by maintaining the required particle size in the case of dispersions, or by the use of surfactants. Prevention of microbial action can be achieved by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, such as parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it is preferable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, buffers, or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0161] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in a suitable solvent with various other ingredients as listed above, and, if necessary, filtering and sterilizing. In the case of sterile powders for preparing sterile injectable solutions, the preparation method can include vacuum drying and freeze-drying techniques, which yield a powder of the active ingredient and any additional desired ingredients present in a previously sterile-filtered solution.
[0162] For topical administration, the compounds can be applied in pure form (i.e., when they are liquids). However, it is generally desirable to administer the compounds to the skin as a composition or formulation in combination with a dermatologically acceptable carrier, which can be solid or liquid.
[0163] Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and alumina. Useful liquid carriers include water, alcohol, or glycol, or water-alcohol / glycol blends, in which the compound can be dissolved or dispersed at an effective concentration, optionally with the use of a non-toxic surfactant. Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antibacterial agents can be added to optimize the properties for a given application. The resulting liquid composition can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnate bandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area using a pump-action or aerosol sprayer.
[0164] Thickening agents such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, salts and esters of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, modified cellulose or modified inorganic materials may also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadable pastes, gels, ointments, soaps and the like for direct application to the user's skin.
[0165] Examples of useful dermatological compositions that can be used to deliver the compounds of the present invention to the skin are known in the art; see, e.g., Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392; incorporated herein by reference), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478; incorporated herein by reference), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157; incorporated herein by reference), and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,508; incorporated herein by reference).
[0166] Useful dosages of the compounds of the invention can be determined, at least initially, by comparing their in vitro activity, and in vivo activity in animal models. Methods for the extrapolation of effective dosages in mice, and other animals, to humans are known to the art; see, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,938,949, incorporated herein by reference.
[0167] The amount of the compound, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, required for use in therapy will vary depending not only on the particular compound, salt, or prodrug selected, but also on the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, and the age and condition of the patient, and will ultimately be at the discretion of the attending physician or clinician.
[0168] In general, however, suitable doses may range from about 0.5 to about 100 mg / kg body weight of recipient / day, e.g., from about 3 to about 90 mg / kg body weight / day, from about 6 to about 75 mg / kg body weight / day, from about 10 to about 60 mg / kg body weight / day, or from about 15 to about 50 mg / kg body weight / day.
[0169] The compounds of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, can be conveniently formulated into unit dosage forms, for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, 10 to 750 mg, or 50 to 500 mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a composition comprising a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, formulated into such a unit dosage form. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more subdoses per day. The subdose itself may be further divided, for example, into a number of discrete, loosely spaced administrations.
[0170] The compounds of the present invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, such as other agents useful in the treatment or prevention of ischemia, blood loss, or reperfusion injury. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs thereof, can also be administered in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents useful in the treatment or prevention of ocular disorders or eye disorders.
[0171] Other delivery systems may include sustained-release, delayed-release, or sustained-release delivery systems, as are well known in the art. Such systems can avoid repeated administration of active compounds, increasing convenience for patients and physicians. Many types of release delivery systems are available and known to those skilled in the art. The use of long-term sustained-release implants may be desirable. Long-term release, as used herein, means that the delivery system or implant is constructed and arranged to deliver therapeutic concentrations of the active ingredient for at least 30 days, preferably 60 days.
[0172] In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are formulated for intraocular administration, for example, by direct injection or insertion into or in connection with an intraocular medical device. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are formulated as eye drops. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention can be administered via ocular delivery, for example, by local administration to the eye, including topical, intravitreal, periocular, transscleral, retrobulbar, juxtascleral, suprachoroidal, or subtenon administration. The compounds of the present invention can be administered via ocular delivery, either alone or in combination with one or more additional therapeutic agents.
[0173] The compounds of the present invention can be formulated for attachment within medical devices, which can include a variety of conventional grafts, stents, including stent-grafts, catheters, balloons, baskets, or any other device that can be placed or permanently implanted within a body lumen. In certain instances, it would be desirable to have devices and methods that can deliver the compounds of the present invention to a body region being treated by an interventional technique.
[0174] In an exemplary embodiment, the compounds of the invention can be deposited within a medical device, such as a stent, and delivered to a treatment site for treatment of a body part.
[0175] Stents have been used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents (i.e., drugs). Intravascular stents are generally permanently implanted in coronary or peripheral arteries. Stent designs include those in U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,655 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 (Gianturco), or U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 (Wiktor). Such designs include both metallic and polymeric stents, as well as self-expanding and balloon-expandable stents. Stents can also be used to deliver drugs to sites of contact with the vascular system, as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,417 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,760 (Narciso, Jr.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,634 (Narciso, Jr.), and International Patent Applications WO 91 / 12779 (Medtronic, Inc.) and WO 90 / 13332 (Cedars-Sanai Medical Center).
[0176] The term "attached" means that the compound is coated, adsorbed, disposed, or otherwise incorporated into the device by methods known in the art. For example, the compound can be embedded in and released from a polymeric material coating or extending over the medical device ("matrix-type"), or can be surrounded by and released through a polymeric material ("reservoir-type"). In the latter example, the compound can be encapsulated within or bound to the polymeric material using one or more techniques for producing such polymeric materials known in the art. In other formulations, the compound can be linked to the surface of the medical device without the need for a coating, for example, by a detachable bond, and released over time, or removed by active mechanical or chemical processes. In other formulations, the compound can be in a permanently immobilized form, providing the compound at the implantation site.
[0177] In certain embodiments, the compounds may also be incorporated with polymer compositions during the formation of biocompatible coatings for medical devices such as stents. The coatings produced from these components are typically homogeneous and are useful for coating many devices designed for implantation.
[0178] The polymer can be either a biostable polymer or a bioabsorbable polymer, depending on the desired release rate or the degree of polymer stability desired, although bioabsorbable polymers are often preferred for this embodiment because, unlike biostable polymers, they do not persist long after implantation and do not cause any adverse chronic local reactions. Bioabsorbable polymers that can be used include, but are not limited to, poly(L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyglycolide (PGA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLA / PGA), poly(hydroxybutyrate), poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), polydioxanone, polyorthoesters, polyanhydrides, poly(glycolic acid), poly(D-lactic acid), poly(L-lactic acid), poly(D,L-lactic acid), poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA), poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PGA / PTMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydioxanone (PDS), Included are polyphosphoesters, polyphosphoesterurethanes, poly(amino acids), cyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonates), copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO / PLA), polyalkylene oxalates, polyphosphazenes, and biomolecules such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen, and hyaluronic acid, polyε-caprolactone, polyhydroxybutyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, crosslinkable or amphiphilic block copolymers of hydrogels, and other suitable bioabsorbable polymers known in the art.Biostable polymers that have a relatively low chronic tissue reaction, such as polyurethane, silicone, and polyester, can also be used, provided they can be dissolved and cured or polymerized on the medical device, such as polyolefins, polyisobutylene, and ethylene-alpha-olefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyvinyl ethers such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketone; polyvinyl aromatic compounds such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters such as polyvinyl acetate; ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer, Other polymers such as ABS resins and copolymers with vinyl monomers and olefins, such as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; pyran copolymers; polyhydroxypropylmethacrylamidephenol; polyhydroxyethylaspartamidephenol; polyethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues; polyamides such as nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins, polycarbonates; polyoxymethylene; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins, polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethyl cellulose may also be used.
[0179] The polymers and semipermeable polymer matrices may be formed into shaped articles such as valves, stents, tubing, prostheses, and the like.
[0180] In certain embodiments of the invention, the compounds of the invention are bound to a polymer or semipermeable polymer matrix formed into a stent or stent-graft device.
[0181] Typically, the polymer is applied to the surface of the implantable device by spin coating, dipping, or spraying. Additional methods known in the art can also be used for this purpose. Spraying methods include conventional methods as well as microdeposition techniques using inkjet-type dispensers. Additionally, the polymer can be deposited onto the implantable device using photopatterning, which places the polymer only on specific portions of the device. This coating of the device provides a uniform layer around the device, allowing for improved diffusion of various analytes through the device coating.
[0182] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the compound is formulated to be released from the polymer coating into the environment in which the medical device is placed. Preferably, the compound is released in a controlled manner over an extended time frame (e.g., several months) using at least one of several well-known techniques for polymeric carriers or layers that control elution. Some of these techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application No. 2004 / 0243225A1, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0183] Additionally, the reagents and reaction conditions of the polymer composition can be manipulated to thereby control the release of a compound from a polymer coating, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,729 (incorporated herein in its entirety). For example, the diffusion coefficient of one or more polymer coatings can be adjusted to control the release of a compound from a polymer coating. In a variation on this theme, the diffusion coefficient of one or more polymer coatings can be controlled to adjust the ability of an analyte present in the environment in which the medical device is placed (e.g., an analyte that promotes the breakdown or hydrolysis of a portion of the polymer) to access one or more components within the polymer composition (and thereby, for example, adjust the release of a compound from the polymer coating). Yet another embodiment of the present invention includes a device having multiple polymer coatings, each with multiple diffusion coefficients. In such an embodiment of the present invention, the release of a compound from the polymer coating can be adjusted by the multiple polymer coatings.
