Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 004,683, filed April 3, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0002] The present disclosure provides compounds capable of modulating alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) activity and methods of treating alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) by administering one or more such compounds. [Background technology]
[0003] AATD is a genetic disorder characterized by low circulating levels of AAT. While treatments exist for AATD, there is currently no cure. AAT is primarily produced in hepatocytes and secreted into the blood, but is also made by other cell types, including lung epithelial cells and certain leukocytes. AAT inhibits several serine proteases secreted by inflammatory cells (most notably neutrophil elastase [NE], proteinase 3, and cathepsin G), thus protecting organs such as the lungs from protease-induced damage, especially during periods of inflammation.
[0004] The mutation most commonly associated with AATD involves a substitution of lysine for glutamic acid (E342K) in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes the AAT protein. This mutation, known as the Z mutation or Z allele, leads to misfolding of the translated protein, so that it is not secreted into the bloodstream and can polymerize within the producing cells. As a result, circulating AAT levels in individuals homozygous for the Z allele (PiZZ) are significantly reduced, and only about 15% of the mutant Z-AAT protein is correctly folded and secreted by cells. An additional consequence of the Z mutation is that secreted Z-AAT has reduced activity compared to the wild-type protein, with 40% to 80% of the normal antiprotease activity (American thoracic society / European respiratory society, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2003;168(7):818-900, and Ogushi et al. J Clin Invest. 1987;80(5):1366-74).
[0005] Accumulation of polymerized Z-AAT protein within hepatocytes results in gain-of-function cytotoxicity, which can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer later in life and neonatal liver disease in 12% of patients. This accumulation can resolve spontaneously, but can be fatal in a small number of children. A lack of circulating AAT leads to unregulated protease activity, which degrades lung tissue over time and leads to emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This effect is severe in PiZZ individuals, typically manifesting in middle age and resulting in a reduced quality of life and a shortened lifespan (average 68 years) (Tanash et al. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulm Dis. 2016;11:1663-9). This effect is more pronounced in PiZZ individuals who smoke, resulting in an even further shortened lifespan (58 years) (Piitulainen and Tanash, COPD 2015;12(1):36-41). PiZZ individuals represent a large proportion of those with clinically relevant AATD lung disease. Thus, there is a need for additional and effective treatments for AATD. A milder form of AATD is associated with the SZ genotype, in which the Z allele is combined with the S allele. The S allele is associated with somewhat reduced levels of circulating AAT, but does not cause cytotoxicity in liver cells. The result is clinically significant lung disease, but not liver disease. (Fregonese and Stolk, Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2008;33:16). Similar to the ZZ genotype, the lack of circulating AAT in subjects with the SZ genotype results in unregulated protease activity, which can degrade lung tissue over time and lead to emphysema, especially in smokers.

[0007] The current standard of care for individuals with AAT deficiency who show or demonstrate signs of developing significant lung or liver disease is augmentation therapy or protein replacement therapy. Augmentation therapy involves the administration of human AAT protein concentrate purified from pooled donor plasma to enhance the deficient AAT. While plasma protein infusions have been shown to improve survival or slow the progression of emphysema, augmentation therapy is often insufficient under challenging conditions, such as during active pulmonary infection. Similarly, protein replacement therapy shows promise in slowing disease progression, but augmentation does not restore normal physiological regulation of AAT in patients, and efficacy has been difficult to demonstrate. Additionally, augmentation therapy requires weekly clinic visits for treatment and fails to address liver disease driven by the toxic gain-of-function of the Z allele. Therefore, there is a continuing need for novel and more effective treatments for AATD. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0022] I. Definition The term "AAT" as used herein refers to alpha-1 antitrypsin or a variant thereof, including but not limited to an AAT gene variant such as the Z variant. As used herein, "Z-AAT" refers to an AAT variant having a Z variant.
[0023] As used herein, "mutation" can refer to a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene (the gene encoding AAT) or the effect of an alteration in the gene sequence on the AAT protein. A "SERPINA1 gene mutation" refers to a mutation in the SERPINA1 gene, and an "AAT protein mutation" refers to a mutation that results in an alteration in the amino acid sequence of the AAT protein. A genetic defect or mutation, or a change in a nucleotide within the gene, generally results in a mutation in the AAT protein translated from that gene.
[0024] As used herein, a patient who is "homozygous" for a particular genetic mutation has the same mutation on each allele.
[0025] As used herein, a patient with the PiZZ genotype is a patient who is homozygous for the Z mutation in the AAT protein.
[0026] The term "AATD" as used herein means alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, an inherited disorder characterized by low circulating levels of AAT.
[0027] The term "compound," when referring to a compound of the present disclosure, refers to a collection of molecules having the same chemical structure unless otherwise indicated as a collection of stereoisomers (e.g., a collection of racemates, a collection of cis / trans stereoisomers, or a collection of (E) and (Z) stereoisomers), except that isotopic variation may exist among the constituent atoms of the molecule. Thus, it will be apparent to one of skill in the art that a compound represented by a particular chemical structure containing a deuterium atom shown also includes lesser amounts of isotopic substitutions having a hydrogen atom at one or more of the designated deuterium positions in the structure. The relative amounts of such isotopic substitutions in the compounds of the present disclosure will depend on several factors, including the isotopic purity of the reagents used to make the compound and the efficiency of isotope incorporation in the various synthetic steps used to prepare the compound. However, as noted above, the relative amount of such isotopic substitutions overall will be less than 49.9% of the compound. In other embodiments, the relative amount of such isotopic substitution overall will be less than 47.5%, less than 40%, less than 32.5%, less than 25%, less than 17.5%, less than 10%, less than 5%, less than 3%, less than 1%, or less than 0.5% of the compound.
[0028] The compounds of the present disclosure can be optionally substituted with one or more substituents. The phrase "optionally substituted" should be understood to be used interchangeably with the phrase "substituted or unsubstituted." In general, the term "substituted," whether preceded by the term "optionally," refers to the replacement of a hydrogen radical in a given structure with the radical of a specified substituent. Unless otherwise indicated, an "optionally substituted" group may have a substituent at each substitutable position of the group, and when more than one position in any given structure can be substituted with more than one substituent selected from a specified group, the substituents can be either the same or different at all positions. Combinations of substituents envisioned by the present disclosure are those that result in the formation of stable or chemically feasible compounds.
[0029] The term "isotopically modified" refers to a species whose chemical structure differs from a specific compound of this disclosure only in its isotopic composition. Additionally, unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also intended to include compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or 13 C or 14 Compounds having this structure, except for the replacement of carbon by C, are within the scope of this disclosure.
[0030] Unless otherwise indicated, structures depicted herein are also intended to include all isomeric forms of the structure, e.g., geometric (or conformational) isomers, such as racemic mixtures, cis / trans isomers, (Z) and (E) double bond isomers, and (Z) and (E) conformational isomers. Thus, geometric and conformational mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of this disclosure. Unless otherwise specified, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of this disclosure are within the scope of this disclosure.
[0031] The term "tautomer" as used herein refers to one of two or more isomers of a compound that exist together in equilibrium and are readily interchangeable by migration of atoms or groups within the molecule.
[0032] "Stereoisomer" refers to both enantiomers and diastereomers.
[0033] As used herein, a "deuterated derivative" refers to a compound having the same chemical structure as a reference compound, but with one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by a deuterium atom ("D"). It will be recognized that some variation in natural isotopic abundance will occur in synthesized compounds depending on the origin of the chemicals used in the synthesis. Despite this variation, the concentration of naturally abundant stable hydrogen isotopes is small and insignificant compared to the degree of stable isotopic substitution of the deuterated derivatives described herein. Thus, unless otherwise specified, when a "deuterated derivative" of a compound of the present disclosure is referred to, at least one hydrogen is replaced with deuterium well above its natural isotopic abundance (which is typically about 0.015%). In some embodiments, deuterated derivatives of the present disclosure have an isotopic enrichment factor for each deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium incorporation), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation).
[0034] The term "isotopic enrichment factor" as used herein means the ratio between the isotopic abundance and the natural abundance of a specified isotope.
[0035] As used herein, the term "alkyl" refers to a straight-chain (i.e., linear or unbranched) or branched, substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon chain that may be fully saturated or contain one or more saturated units without being fully aromatic. Unless otherwise specified, alkyl groups contain 1-12 alkyl carbon atoms. In some embodiments, alkyl groups contain 1-10 aliphatic carbon atoms.
