Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to methods for treating or preventing diseases or disorders, particularly inflammation, immune-mediated disorders, and vascular and neurological disorders. The method of the present invention involves administering a pharmaceutical product containing an S1P receptor modulator that results in minimization of bradycardia and lymphopenia. [Background technology]
[0002] The relationship between the S1P receptor axis and disease inflammation. S1P receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors widely expressed across major organ systems such as the immune, nervous, and vascular systems. There are five receptors known as sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors (S1P1-5), and the common endogenous ligand S1P has various downstream effects (Cooke et al, Annual Reports in Medicinal Chemistry, 2007, 42, pp 245-263, and references therein). S1P receptors, particularly the type 1 receptor S1P1, are involved in immune responses, endothelial barrier enhancement (Wilkerson BA et al, J Biol Chem, 2012, Vol.287, 44645), cytoprotection (Rutherford C et al, Cell Death and Disease, 2013, 4, e927; doi:10.1038 / cddis, 455), cell differentiation, and cell recruitment / chemotaxis.
[0003] Downstream effects mediated by the S1P receptor are known to be involved in mTOR regulation and immunomodulation (Liu G. et al, Nat Immunol, 2010, 11, 1047). The involvement of the S1P receptor is well documented in the inhibition of STAT3, a target known to be involved in inflammation and cancer (Garris CS et al, Nat Immunol, 2013, Vol 14, 1166). The S1P receptor is also well known to modulate pain (Welch SP et al, Biochem Pharmacol, 2012, 84, 1551). Furthermore, the S1P receptor is involved in stem cell chemotaxis (Kimura A. et al., Stem Cell, 2007, 25, 115) and regeneration (Leronimakis et al. Skeletal Muscle, 2013, 3, 20), and the S1P axis is involved in neuroprotection (Asle RM et al, EXCLI Journal, 2013, 12, 449). Regulation of the S1P receptor is involved in the expression of cytokines such as TNFα, IL6, IL12, and VEGF (Bolick DT et al, Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2005, 25, 976; Sanchez T, et al, J Biol Chem 2003, 278 (47), 47281). The S1P receptor has been shown to be significantly involved in serious diseases such as acute lung injury and influenza. Endothelial cells, which make up the inner lining of blood vessels, express S1P receptors, and S1P1 agonists are well known to strengthen the vascular barrier, prevent vascular leakage, and enhance the maturation of vascular structures (McVerry BJ et al. J. et al, J Cell Biochem, 2004, 92, 1075; Allende ML et al, Blood, 2003, 102, 3665; Paik J. et al, Genes Dev, 2004, 18, 2392; Garcia JGN et al, J Clin Invest, 2001, 108(5), 689).The S1P receptor axis is involved in inflammation and cancer (Kunkel GT et al, Drug Discovery, 2013, 12, 688).
[0004] Inflammation is an immune response to injury or infection. Symptoms include redness, warmth, swelling, and pain. While controlling inflammation is important for regeneration and wound healing, uncontrolled inflammation can lead to long-term adverse responses and potentially chronic diseases. Inflammation can be localized or organ-specific, or it can spread throughout the body and cause systemic diseases.
[0005] Inflammatory sites overexpress pro-inflammatory cytokines and factors, such as interleukins (IL-1, IL-6, IL-17), tumor necrosis factor (TNFα), inducible nitroxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), myeloperoxidase (MPO), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). These cytokines and factors are involved in the recruitment of immune cells, altered immune responses, disruption of the endothelial barrier, altered differentiation, and abnormal proliferation patterns within inflammation. Blood vessels become abnormal, dilated, leaky, and tortuous, leading to fluid accumulation and edema. Distant areas are deprived of blood supply, progressing to hypoxia and potentially leading to cancer development. Cell survival patterns change, and degeneration occurs.
[0006] Growing scientific data reveals that inflammation is involved in almost all diseases. Multiple diseases of inflammatory origin are common in various organ systems, including the cardiovascular system (i.e., atherosclerosis, ischemic disease, venous disease), the nervous system (i.e., multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, ALS, neuropathy), and immune-mediated diseases (i.e., rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne, vitiligo). Inflammation plays an underlying role in ischemic injury, atherosclerotic lesions (Galkina E. et al, Annu Rev Immunol, 2009, 27, 165), and cancerous tumors (Landskron G. et al, J Immunol Res, 2014, Article ID 149185, 19 pages http: / / dx.doi.org / 10.1155 / 2014 / 149185).
[0007] Diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, arthralgia, muscle inflammation, psoriasis, dermatitis, uveitis, and atherosclerosis are accompanied by inflammation, along with other co-pathologies such as pain, itching, and degeneration. The S1P receptor is known as a target of the S1P1 receptor axis in multiple pathological conditions occurring in inflammatory signs, particularly in inflammation and immunomodulation.
[0008] Cancers of various origins share common pathological features, including inflammation, vascular abnormalities (leakage, angiogenesis), hypoxia, abnormal differentiation, cell exudation from the primary cancer site, and metastasis. By modulating the S1P receptor, a single treatment can alleviate multiple pathological features seen in various cancers by reducing inflammation, strengthening the barrier, avoiding metastasis, and promoting cell differentiation. Cell clamping mediated by the S1P receptor has been reported to enhance cell-cell adhesion, thereby blocking the invasion of tumor cells into blood vessels from cancer points (Feng H, Cancer Cell, 2010, 18(4), 353-366).
[0009] Vascular diseases such as vascular abnormalities, leakage and fluid exudation, and edema-hypervascularization are also thought to be the result of underlying inflammation. Neurodegeneration, inflammation, vascular leakage, and hypervascularization are common in macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinopathy. Lung inflammation is a central cause of various lung problems, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), acute lung injury, and influenza.
[0010] Myocardial infarction, spinal cord injury, and ischemic injury are associated with inflammation, cell death, and dysfunction of vital organs. Modulation of the S1P receptor can mitigate the pathology by stopping inflammation, rescuing cell death (Schabbauer G. et al., Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol, 2004, 24, 1963; Wang J. et al., Biomaterials, 2015, 62, 76), improving blood flow, and attracting stem cells to the site of injury, differentiation, and regeneration (Leronimakis et al, Skeletal Muscle, 2013, 3, 20). The use of S1P receptor modulators can be extended to wound healing and regeneration of muscle, bone, and other organs, including successful transplantation (Lia L et al, Cornea, 2014, 33 (4), 398).
[0011] Modulation of the S1P receptor can address several pathological events common to various diseases in humans, animals, and other species (Figure 1). However, its potential as an important drug target is hampered by the occurrence of significant clinical side effects such as lymphopenia and bradycardia. In S1P receptor modulator therapy, there is no causal relationship between lymphopenia and positive treatment outcomes.
[0012] Many multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapies result in corresponding decreases in circulating T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. However, the degree of lymphopenia in peripheral blood was not associated with positive treatment outcomes of FTY720 in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) (Fragoso YD et al, Multiple Sclerosis and Related Diseases, 2018, 19, 105-108 and references therein).
[0013] Another study in an animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS) showed no association between lymphopenia and treatment outcomes. Immediately after discontinuation of FTY720 administration, disease scores improved, while the severity of lymphopenia persisted. After discontinuation of drug treatment, clinical signs reappeared in mice several days later, and disease scores relapsed to similar levels as seen in untreated controls (M. Webb et al., Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2004, 153, pp 108-121). Therefore, high levels of lymphopenia observed after treatment of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis with S1P modulators appear to be unrelated and an undesirable side effect.
[0014] Lymphopenia can lead to changes in the immune system, contributing to undesirable adverse effects (Pierre-Eric Juifa PE. et al, Expert opinion on drug metabolism & toxicology, 2016, 12, (8), 879-895). This can ultimately lead to the discontinuation or cessation of S1P drug therapy (Johnson TA, Clinical Immunology, 2010, 137, 15-20), and subsequently, an increased risk of disease symptom recurrence or rebound in disease activity (Joachim B. Havla et al, Arch Neurol, Feb 2012, Vol 69, No.2).
[0015] Separately, recent studies suggest that the effect is not related to lymphocytes or immune cells, but rather to the direct effects of modulation of S1P1 receptors and / or activation of S1P receptors in various cells and organs that appear to be associated with therapeutic efficacy.
[0016] In animal models of kidney disease, disease symptoms were significantly reduced by both S1P1 modulators FTY720 and SEW2871, but only FTY720 was associated with a decrease in total lymphocyte levels, suggesting that its effect is independent of lymphopenia (Awad A et al, Kidney Int., 2011, 79(10), 1090-1098). In another animal model of acute kidney disease (AKI), endothelial S1P1 activation was found to be necessary to protect against IRI and enable recovery from AKI (Perry HM et al, Am Soc Nephrol, 2016, 27, 3383-3393). Similarly, in animal models of neuropathy, the direct effect of S1P1 modulation on astrocytes is associated with the efficacy of neuropathy. The cellular and molecular mechanisms involving the S1PR1 axis in neuropathic pain establish S1PR1 as an important target for therapeutic intervention through S1PR1 modulation as a class of non-narcotic analgesics (Chen Z et al, PNAS, 2019, vol. 116, no. 21, 10557-0562).
[0017] Another study linked the direct effect of S1P1 modulation on astrocytes to efficacy in multiple sclerosis. This data identifies a non-immunological CNS mechanism of FTY720 efficacy and suggests that the S1P signaling pathway within the CNS is a target for multiple sclerosis treatment (Choi JW et al, PNAS, 2011, vol. 108, no. 2, 751-756). S1P1 receptor activity is associated with FTY720-mediated myelination processes and MS disease relief (Sheridan GK et al, GLIA, 2012, 60:382-392; Cho JW et al, PNAS, 2011, 108, 2, 751). Local administration of FTY720 achieved the opposite effect, promoting demyelination, and the drug was unsuccessful in primary progressive multiple sclerosis, a more neurodegenerative form of MS (Hu Y et al, Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2011, 48, 72-81; Lublin F et al, Lancet, 2016, 387, 1075-84). This adverse effect may be due to potent S1P1 receptor degradation by FTY720.
[0018] Direct effects on endothelial cells were associated with efficacy in animal models of influenza. Cytokine storms during viral infection are predictors of morbidity and mortality, but their cellular source remains undefined. The S1P1 receptor is expressed in endothelial cells and lymphocytes in lung tissue, and in this study, S1P1 regulation in these cells suppressed cytokine release and innate immune cell recruitment in wild-type lymphocyte-deficient mice, identifying endothelial cells as the central regulator of cytokine storms (Teijaro JW et al, Cell, 2011, 146, 980-991).
[0019] Suppression of the S1P1 receptor in cytokine storms may also be valuable in managing viral symptoms. S1P modulator therapy alone has been shown to have higher clinical efficacy compared to antiviral therapy alone against pathogenic influenza virus in mice (82% mortality vs. 50% mortality). Furthermore, a combination of both S1P1 modulation and antiviral therapy nearly completely prevented mortality (96%) (Walsh KB, PNAS, 2011, 12018-12023).
[0020] The modulation of S1P1 receptors is also involved in bone regeneration (Yang-Hee Kim et al, Biomaterials, 2014, 35 (1), 214-224), muscle healing (Nicholas Ieronimakis et al, Ieronimakis et al. Skeletal Muscle 2013, 3:20), nerve regeneration (Safarian et al, J Mol Neurosci, 2015, 56, 177), and pain relief (Stockstill et al, J Pain, 2014, 15(4), S60).
[0021] S1P1 modulation is desirable in several cardiovascular and neurological diseases due to its ability to exert a direct effect on endothelial cells and / or nerve cells, but lymphopenia is another undesirable side effect, as it does not play a role in treating these conditions and instead hinders continued treatment.
[0022] Therefore, there is a need for improved S1P1 modulators that cause only low levels of lymphopenia and can thus be safely used, for example, in immune-mediated and / or cardiovascular and / or neurological symptoms.
[0023] Bradycardia is another common and serious side effect of current S1P therapy. Human clinical trials evaluating S1P1 modulators, including the drug FTY720, have frequently reported induction of bradycardia upon first administration (Bigaud M. et all, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 2014, 1841, 745-758 and references therein; Pierre Eric J et al, Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology, 2016, VOL. 12, NO. 8, 879-895; Pierre Eric J et al, Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2017, 18, 2636; Tran JQ et al, The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2017, 00(0), 1-9; US 2019 / 0091180 A1; Siponimod: USOO8492441 B2, July 2013; Abstract Presented at the 13th Congress of the European Crohn's and Colitis Organization (ECCO), February 14-17, 2018, Vienna, Austria).
[0024] Therefore, to mitigate or reduce potential side effects, a dose titration strategy is typically required, starting with a low dose below the therapeutic dose during the initial days of administration, and then steadily increasing the dose level to the standard daily therapeutic dose after several days. However, this dose titration strategy wastes a total of treatment days at the therapeutic dose level.
[0025] Observation of bradycardia after S1P receptor therapy may lead to the prohibition of use in patients with a history of heart failure, arrhythmias, high-grade atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome, syncope episodes, or those who do not experience these conditions during antiarrhythmic treatment. Furthermore, dose escalation is not a reasonable option for patients with acute symptoms requiring urgent therapeutic doses, such as those in emergency situations, sepsis, stroke, or organ injury.
[0026] Bradycardia and lymphopenia are evident in S1P1 modifier therapy, but these two events are independent and unrelated, as demonstrated in studies using the clinical compound GSK2018682. In single-dose sessions, doses of 2 mg or less of GSK2018682 induced minimal or no lymphopenia beyond the normal range of diurnal variation (up to approximately 20%), but bradycardia was evident at this dose level, with heart rate decreasing by 10 beats or more. (Xu J et al, Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, 2014, 3(3) 170-178).
[0027] Furthermore, it has been reported that the observation of bradycardia by S1P1-selective agonists exhibits species specificity. S1P1 receptor-selective agonists do not induce bradycardia in rodents, but S1P1-selective agonists tested in humans caused significant bradycardia in patients (Juif PE. et al, Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2017, 18, 2636; doi:10.3390 / ijms18122636; Pali L. et al, Pharmacol Res Perspect, 2017; e00370. wileyonlinelibrary.com / journal / prp2 | 1 of 12; Rey M et al, PLOS ONE, September 2013 | Volume 8 | Issue 9 | e74285). This suggests that the behavior of S1P modulators in humans is unpredictable, and results from animal experiments cannot be easily applied to humans.
[0028] Therefore, there is a need for improved administration regimens of S1P receptor modulators that do not cause serious side effects such as bradycardia and / or lymphopenia, even with long-term administration.
[0029] There are further unmet needs for improved administration and safer use of S1P receptor modulators in the treatment of diseases, particularly inflammation, immune-mediated disorders, and vascular or neurological disorders. This disclosure addresses one or more of these unmet needs.
[0030] References in this Specified Publication (or information derived therefrom) or known matters shall not, and should not, be construed as, an endorsement, permission, or any suggestion in any way that such prior publication (or information derived therefrom) or known matters form part of the common general knowledge in the field of the efforts relating to this Specified Publication. [Overview of the Initiative]
[0031] This disclosure relates to pharmaceuticals comprising S1P receptor modulators for the treatment of diseases, particularly inflammatory, immune-mediated disorders, vascular disorders, and neurological disorders, as well as advantageous administration regimens for such pharmaceuticals. While S1P receptor modulators are currently used to treat inflammatory or painful diseases or disorders, administrations and regimens associated with such modulators cause serious side effects, such as bradycardia and prolonged moderate to severe lymphopenia.
[0032] Bradycardia, as understood by those skilled in the art, is a heart rate slower than normal. It may vary from person to person, for example, as a result of age or physical condition. However, a skilled professional, such as a physician, would be able to easily determine if a patient has bradycardia. A normal adult's resting heart rate is 60–100 beats per minute (bpm). In a patient with average bradycardia and good health and physical condition, the heart rate is less than 60 beats per minute.
[0033] Lymphopenia, also known as lymphocytopenia, is a condition in which the number of lymphocytes in the bloodstream is lower than normal. As is understood by those skilled in the art, when adjusted for age, a diagnosis of lymphopenia means a blood lymphocyte count of less than 1,500 cells / microliter. Infants and children have a higher lymphocyte count, so in this case, a count of less than 3,000 cells / microliter is considered too low.
[0034] While prior art S1P receptor modulator therapies frequently require dose escalation strategies, the methods and pharmaceuticals comprising S1P receptor modulators disclosed herein can advantageously initiate treatment immediately at therapeutic dose levels and offer other benefits, including improved clinical safety, patient satisfaction, and compliance. Furthermore, the methods and pharmaceuticals comprising S1P receptor modulators disclosed herein can mitigate or reduce lymphopenia, thereby avoiding undesirable immunosuppression that could pose a threat to opportunistic infections or cancer.
[0035] Furthermore, concerns regarding the side effects of prior art S1P receptor modulators or agonists may limit the safer use of S1P modulators for non-autoimmune signs, such as vascular or neurological signs. Prior art S1P receptor modulators or agonists may reduce cardiac rhythm and induce bradycardia that persists for several hours after administration. As a result of this side effect, S1P receptor modulator or agonist therapy may need to be initiated under strict medical supervision to ensure that cardiac rhythm is maintained at an acceptable level. This may involve hospitalization of the patient and make the treatment more expensive and complex. In the treatment of other signs, topical or other applicable routes of administration of prior art S1P receptor modulators or agonists may be limited to sub-therapeutic levels due to these side effects (e.g., limited area and / or limited dose level).
[0036] One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method for treating or preventing a disease or disorder, comprising administering to a patient in need of treatment or prevention a medicament comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator, wherein the medicament reduces the heart rate of the subject by approximately 5 beats / min or less per day, or approximately 4 beats / min or less per day, or approximately 3 beats / min or less per day, or approximately 2 beats / min or less per day, and the S1P receptor modulator is administered in an initial daily dose substantially identical to a standard daily therapeutic dose.
[0037] In another aspect of the present disclosure, a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease or disorder is provided, wherein the pharmacopoeia reduces the target heart rate by approximately 5 beats / min or less per day, or by approximately 4 beats / min or less per day, or by approximately 3 beats / min or less per day, or by approximately 2 beats / min or less per day, wherein the S1P receptor modulator is administered in an initial daily dose substantially identical to a standard daily therapeutic dose.
[0038] In a further embodiment, a use is provided for the use of a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator in the preparation of a medicament for treating or preventing a disease or disorder, wherein the medicament reduces the target heart rate by about 5 beats / min or less per day, or by about 4 beats / min or less per day, or by about 3 beats / min or less per day, or by about 2 beats / min or less per day, wherein the S1P receptor modulator is formulated for administration at an initial daily dose substantially identical to a standard daily therapeutic dose.
[0039] Preferably, the SIP receptor modulator is a compound represented by formula (I) shown herein, most preferably, [ka] That is the case.
[0040] As used herein in each aspect and embodiment described throughout, the term “initial daily dose” means the first dose level to which the S1P receptor modulator is administered to a patient. As used herein, the term “standard daily therapeutic dose” means a dose level sufficient to deliver a therapeutically effective amount of the S1P receptor modulator to a patient.
[0041] The standard daily therapeutic dose may be delivered by injection, orally, topically, or via medical devices involving various systemic exposures to the patient. The standard daily therapeutic dose may also mean a dose level sufficient to control symptoms or effectively halt disease progression in a patient. The term “substantially identical” means two values that are similar or identical, but is understood to encompass a normal range of acceptable values in the art. For example, this may be within two standard deviations of the mean dose.
[0042] In some embodiments, the difference between the initial daily dose and the standard daily therapeutic dose is less than 25%, less than 15%, less than 10%, or less than 5%.
[0043] In some embodiments, the initial daily dose is the same as the standard daily therapeutic dose.
[0044] Typically, in prior art S1P receptor modulators, the initial daily dose may be much lower than the standard therapeutic dose and may be increased stepwise or only once until the standard therapeutic dose is reached. Advantageously, this disclosure provides a method for initiating a dose at or slightly below the standard therapeutic dose without the occurrence of side effects associated with prior art S1P receptor modulator therapy.
[0045] In some embodiments, the standard daily therapeutic dose of the S1P receptor modulator is up to 70 mg via oral or injectable administration, and up to 3 g topically.

[0086] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent is used to treat pain selected from the group consisting of joint pain, arthritis pain, gout pain, back pain, muscle pain, neuropathic pain, neuralgia, migraine, cancer pain, sports injury pain, and wound pain.
[0087] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical comprises, as a composition, an S1P receptor modulator together with one or more other pharmaceutically active compounds selected from, or not limited to, immunosuppressants / immunomodulators, pain modulators, pruritus modulators, neuromodulators, anti-inflammatory substances, antipathogens, antibacterial substances, antiviral substances, and antifungal substances.
[0088] All prior art S1P1 modulators tested in clinical trials or approved as drugs induce bradycardia in humans after initial administration (Bigaud M. et all, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 2014, 1841, 745-758 and references therein; Pierre Eric J et al, Expert Opinion on Drug Metabolism & Toxicology, 2016, VOL. 12, NO. 8, 879-895; Pierre Eric J et al, Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2017, 18, 2636). The medicaments according to this disclosure may, advantageously, not substantially affect heart rate after single or multiple administrations to humans and may therefore have advantages in treating certain symptoms.
[0089] Accordingly, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for treating or preventing a disease or disorder, comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment or prevention a pharmacopoeia comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator, wherein the administration of the pharmacopoeia does not cause a substantial decrease in heart rate. Preferably, the administration of the pharmacopoeia does not cause bradycardia.
[0090] Further embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for treating or preventing a disease or disorder, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a medicament comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator, wherein the level of lymphopenia is between 25% and 70%. In alternative embodiments, the lymphocyte level remains constant.
[0091] According to embodiments of this disclosure, for example, a level of lymphopenia equivalent to 25% means a 25% decrease in peripheral blood lymphocytes from the baseline value before initiating the initial daily dose.
[0092] Severe lymphopenia is a significant side effect of S1P receptor modulator therapy, leading to weakened immune systems and other undesirable side effects (Pierre-Eric Juifa PE. et al, Expert opinion on drug metabolism & toxicology, 2016, 12, (8), 879-895), (Johnson TA, Clinical Immunology (2010) 137, 15-20). Since S1P1 modulators may be useful in other non-autoimmune diseases such as cardiovascular and neurological diseases due to their direct effects on endothelial and neuronal cells, lymphopenia is an undesirable side effect unrelated to treatment outcomes in these conditions, and therefore, S1P modulators that do not cause lymphopenia are needed. The method according to this disclosure results in lymphopenia-free or reduced levels and can be safely used in immune-mediated signs and / or cardiovascular signs and / or neurological signs and / or pruritic signs and / or pain signs, where the preferred daily oral dose for treatment is ≤6 mg.
[0093] In any of the embodiments disclosed herein, the compound represented by formula (I) may be administered in combination with other therapeutically active compounds, such as small molecules, biological substances, antiviral substances, antimicrobial substances, pain modifiers, pruritus modifiers, anticancer drugs, or anti-inflammatory substances.
[0094] Representative examples of compounds represented by formula (I) used in the above-described aspects and embodiments of the present invention include, for example, [ka] [ka] [ka] There is.
[0095] A preferred example of the compound represented by formula (I) is: [ka] That is the case.
[0096] The S1P receptor modulator, for example, the compound of formula (I), may also be in the form of a salt. The salt may be pharmaceutically acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be obvious to those skilled in the art and include acid addition salts formed with inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, boric acid, or phosphoric acid; and organic acids, such as succinic acid, maleic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, benzoic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, or naphthalenesulfonic acid, as described in J Pharm Sci, 1977, 66, 1-19. A particular S1P receptor modulator, for example, the compound represented by formula (I), may form an acid addition salt with one or more equivalent amounts of acid. This disclosure includes, within its scope, all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms, as well as the free base form.
[0097] The S1P receptor modulators, for example, the compound represented by formula (I), may be prepared in crystalline or amorphous form, and in the case of crystalline forms, they may optionally be hydrates or solvates. The disclosure includes, within its scope, S1P receptor modulators, for example, stoichiometric hydrates or solvates of the compound represented by formula (I), as well as formulations containing variable amounts of water and / or solvent, and all salts, solvates, hydrates, complexes, polymorphs, prodrugs, radiolabeled derivatives, stereoisomers and optical isomers.
[0098] The currently disclosed pharmaceuticals contain an S1P receptor modulator, for example, a compound represented by formula (I), as the sole active ingredient, and may optionally contain one or more inactive ingredients.

[0099] In some embodiments, the pharmacopoeia may include various delivery vehicles, such as pharmacoexistential excipients including stabilizers, carriers, or encapsulated formulations for systemic use (i.e., oral, injection, device) or topical or targeted use (i.e., topical, ear, eye, nasal, oral, non-enteral, rectal). The composition may provide a preferred combination effect between the delivery vehicle and at least one compound selected from one or more groups consisting of, for example, steroids, opioids, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD). The combined effect may improve treatment and / or prevention and / or immunotherapy compared to S1P receptor modulators, for example, the compound represented by formula (I) alone.
[0100] Other active and inactive ingredients or excipients include, but are not limited to, ointments, gels, hydrogels, solutions, drops, topical patches, transdermal patches, topical liquid preparations, sprays, aerosols, lotions, foams, degradation-controlled polymers, patches, tablets, capsules, oral liquid preparations, powders, granules, lozenges, microparticles, liposomes, nanoemulsions, polymers, microsponges or release-controlled particles such as fullerenes, or injectable or injectable solutions, suspensions or suppositories.

[0104] As previously stated, other S1P modifier therapies may result in the occurrence of additional side effects, including cardiovascular abnormalities and lymphopenia. The occurrence of these side effects may necessitate discontinuation of treatment with the S1P modifier or agonist, during which control of the disease or disorder may worsen. Such patients may be treated by the methods described herein instead during this discontinuation period, as the observation of side effects is reduced or none of the side effects are present.
[0105] In some embodiments of this model, the interruption or cessation of the procedure is due to a bradycardia event or a lymphopenia event. In some embodiments, the interruption or cessation of the procedure is due to the occurrence of both a bradycardia event and a lymphopenia event.
[0106] Accordingly, a method is provided for preventing or improving the risk of bradycardia in a subject receiving a pharmacopoeia comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator, wherein the pharmacopoeia is administered to a subject who has previously received treatment with another S1P1 modulator or agonist, and / or the patient has now discontinued or stopped treatment with the other S1P modulator or agonist.

[0115] This disclosure also provides therapeutically effective amounts of S1P receptor modulators according to any one embodiment disclosed herein for use in methods of treating or preventing pain.
[0116] This disclosure also provides the use of a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator in any one embodiment disclosed herein in the preparation of a medicament for treating or preventing pain.
[0117] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is selected from a group consisting of, but not limited to, susceptible heart failure, arrhythmia, high-grade atrioventricular block, sick sinus syndrome, a history of syncope episodes, or a combination thereof.
[0118] In this embodiment, the subject is receiving antiarrhythmic treatment by administering a beta-blocker or an antiarrhythmic drug.
[0119] In this embodiment, the patient is one who has experienced an interruption or discontinuation of treatment from another S1P receptor modulator / agonist. The discontinuation of treatment may exceed 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, or 14 days.
[0120] Prior art S1P receptor modulators / agonists are known to cause bradycardia or lymphopenia, so patients may be required to discontinue treatment to reduce bradycardia or lymphopenia before treatment can be continued. Advantageously, the pharmacopoeia of this disclosure does not cause bradycardia and / or significant lymphopenia, so these patients may subsequently continue treatment with the pharmacopoeia.
[0121] In any of the methods disclosed herein, the pharmaceutical product may be administered in any acceptable mode of administration, for example, topically, orally, intravenously, non-enterally, intranasally, into the eye, or rectally.
[0122] Some embodiments of the methods disclosed herein may be used to treat gastrointestinal problems such as (but not limited to) intestinal inflammation, vascular disorders, wounds, ulcers, hemorrhoids, anal pruritus, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease.
[0123] In any of the methods disclosed herein, the pharmaceutical product may be a sustained-release formulation administered topically, by implantation or injection, or via a medical device. The sustained-release pharmaceutical product may have a desired therapeutic level of S1P receptor modulator at a systemic or topical level. Furthermore, the sustained-release pharmaceutical product may be applied in situ or to the periphery of affected areas, for example, in inflammation, ischemic injury, cancer, tumor, or atherosclerotic lesions.
[0124] When applied topically, sustained-release drugs can be administered without the increased exposure associated with systemic exposure. This process can enhance the overall therapeutic window that might otherwise not be possible through systemic treatment. For example, skin lesions of psoriasis or atopic dermatitis (eczema) may receive the necessary exposure to S1P receptor modulators through direct administration of the drug according to this disclosure to the lesion, whereas systemic treatment may not achieve sufficient therapeutic exposure to S1P receptor modulators.
[0125] The methods described herein may be used, via sustained-release formulations, for example, to treat orally, systemically, or topically to the skin, eyes, ears, nose, lungs, mouth, rectum and anus, or digestive organs. For example, treatment of hypoxia by topical administration of an effective amount of the disclosed medicament to a target requiring treatment, such as in a distant site of cancer. Transplant rejection is often accompanied by inflammation (Lutz et al, J Inflamm (Lond), 2010, 7, 27; Liang J et al, Cornea, 2014, 33 (4), 398). Modulation of the S1P receptor is involved in immune tolerance and correction of vascular structure, and topical administration and optimal exposure, with or without the use of other immunomodulators, may be a promising approach for transplant success. Therefore, a method is provided for treating transplant rejection by topical administration, comprising administering a medicament containing a therapeutically effective amount of an S1P receptor modulator to a target requiring treatment. Modulation of the S1P receptor can yield effective and appropriate responses ranging from immunity against infection (Pinschewer DD et al, Neurology, 2011, 76 (Suppl 3): S15-S19) or cancer (Marcus A et al, Blood, 2011, 118(4), 975) to immune tolerance (Liu G. et al, J Immunol, 2014, 192; Yoshida Y. et al, Biol Pharm Bull, 2011, 34(6), 933) and successful transplantation.

Tablets may be coated according to methods well known in the field of ordinary medicine. Tablets may be released in a specific organ, such as the stomach or intestine, to deliver an S1P receptor modulator, such as a compound represented by formula (I).
[0127] The topical and oral liquid formulations of this disclosure may be in the form of aqueous or oily suspensions, solutions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, or in the form of dry products for reconstitution with water or other suitable vehicles before use. Such liquid formulations may appropriately contain conventional additives, e.g., suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats), emulsifiers (e.g., lecithin or acacia), non-aqueous vehicles (which may include edible oils, e.g., almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils), preservatives (e.g., methyl-p-hydroxybenzoate or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoate or sorbic acid), and, if necessary, conventional flavorings or colorants, buffer salts and sweeteners. Formulations for topical administration and formulations for oral administration may be appropriately formulated to control the release of S1P receptor modulators.
[0128] For non-enteral administration, a fluid unit dosage form can be prepared using the compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a sterile vehicle. The injectable formulation may exist, for example, in ampoules or multi-dose unit dosage forms using the compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof and a sterile vehicle, and may optionally contain preservatives. The composition may take the form of a suspension, solution or emulsion in an oily or aqueous vehicle and may contain compounding agents, such as suspenders, stabilizers and / or dispersants. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be in powder form for composition with a suitable vehicle, such as sterile pyrogenic substance-removed water, before use. When preparing a solution, the compound represented by formula (I) can be dissolved for injection, filtered and sterilized, and then filled and sealed in a suitable vial or ampoule. Advantageously, adjuvants, such as local anesthetics, preservatives and buffers, may be dissolved in the vehicle. Surfactants or wetting agents may be included in the composition to promote the uniform distribution of the compound.
[0129] The lotion may be formulated using an aqueous or oily base and may contain one or more emulsifiers, stabilizers, dispersants, suspending agents, thickeners, or colorants. The dropper may be formulated using an aqueous or non-aqueous base and may contain one or more dispersants, stabilizers, solubilizers, or suspending agents. It may also contain preservatives.
[0130] In any of the methods disclosed herein, the pharmaceutical product may also be formulated into a rectal composition such as a suppository or retaining enema, comprising, for example, a conventional suppository base such as cocoa butter or other glycerides. As a depot preparation, such a long-acting formulation may be administered by implantation (e.g., subcutaneous or intramuscular, in situ or peripheral to the site of inflammation and / or injury) or intramuscular injection. It may be formulated with a suitable polymer or hydrophobic material (e.g., as an emulsion in an acceptable oil) or an ion exchange resin, or as a sparingly soluble derivative, such as a sparingly soluble salt.
[0131] For formulations as controlled-release particles, the required amount of the compound represented by formula (I) may be treated with a polymer, in particular a biodegradable polymer that degrades in vivo enzymatically, non-enzymatically, or both, to produce biocompatible and toxicologically safe byproducts that are further removed by normal metabolic pathways.

For better delivery formulations, the compound represented by formula (I) may be encapsulated in various types of copolymers of polyester and polyethylene glycol (PEG). PLGA / PEG block copolymers may be used as diblocks (PLGA-PEG) or triblock molecules containing both ABA (PLGA-PEG-PLGA) and BAB (PEG-PLGA-PEG). These drug delivery devices avoid the cumbersome surgical insertion of large implants and can employ injectable, biodegradable, biocompatible PLGA particles (microspheres, microcapsules, nanocapsules, nanospheres) in a controlled-release dosage form. The active ingredient can be released from the polymer device by either diffusion across a polymer barrier, erosion of the polymer material, or a combination of both diffusion and erosion mechanisms.

[0152] Next, exemplary embodiments of the Disclosure will be described in detail. The detailed examples and embodiments described herein are given illustratively for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to limit the Disclosure. [Examples]
[0153] The compound represented by formula (I) used in the following examples is: [ka] That's what I decided.
[0154] Example 1: Activity in the sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor The compound represented by formula (I) showed S1P receptor activity, particularly type 1 receptor agonist activity. The S1P1 assay system used membrane-bound GTPgama-S from CHO K1 cells expressing the human S1P1 receptor. 35 The compounds were tested, and concentration-response (administration response) curves were created for these receptors. The analysis showed that the efficacy of the selected compound represented by equation (I) for S1P was (E max ) and effect (EC 50 ) provides EC in the S1P1 receptor 50It was demonstrated that the concentration is <2nM. The compound represented by formula (I) has a low tendency to degrade the S1P1 receptor. The compound represented by formula (I) is selective for S1P2, S1P3, S1P4, and S1P5 receptors.
[0155] In comparison, the endogenous ligand S1P and the drug FTY-720 are active on the S1P1 receptor, with EC50 nM values of 1.2 nM and 2 nM, respectively, in the GTPγS assay, while their receptor degradation capabilities are 302 nM and 0.34 nM, respectively (Lucas et al, Journal of Biomolecular Screening, 2013, 1-10 pp). Known S1P receptor modulators have low activity vs. degradation margins (FTY720=0.17; BAF-312=2.95, ponesimod<2), while the compound represented by formula (I) has a margin of over 100 (Samuvel J et al, PLOS ONE, 2015, | DOI:10.1371 / journal.pone.0141781; Piali L et, JPET, 2011, 337, 547-556; Lucas S et al, Journal of Biomolecular Screening, 2014, Vol. 19(3) 407 -416; Gatfield J et al, Immunomodulation, 28th ECTRIM, 10-13 October, 2012, Lyon, France).
[0156] Example 2: Correlation between lymphopenia and systemic exposure of the compound represented by formula (I) in humans and mice. In humans, treatment with the compound represented by formula (I) (at a dose of approximately 0.17 mg / kg) resulted in a systemic exposure of 18.8 ng / mL, without inducing significant lymphopenia. In contrast, in mice, treatment with the compound represented by formula (I) (at a dose of 0.3 mg / kg) resulted in a systemic exposure of 6.36 ng / mL, and a 40% lymphopenia was measured 6 hours after administration. This is surprising and suggests that the association between lymphopenia and systemic exposure to S1P receptor modulators such as the compound represented by formula (I) differs between mice and humans.
[0157] It is noteworthy that the delivery of the compound represented by formula (I) results in dose-proportional systemic exposure. When the compound represented by formula (I) was administered at a dose of 8 mg per day for one week, lymphopenia was measured in a maximum of only 40%, which was 16 times higher than the equivalent FTY720 therapeutic dose in humans.
[0158] Example 3: Effect of the compound shown in formula (I) on heart rate in vivo In humans, treatment with the compound represented by formula I resulted in dose-proportional increases in systemic exposure: 0.5 mg = 0.6 ng / mL; 2 mg = 2.4 ng / mL; 6 mg = 7.1 ng / mL; 12 mg = 18.8 ng / mL. However, there were no dose-proportional or dose-related bradycardia events, which are common side effects observed with prior art S1P1 modulators / agonists, such as a decrease in heart rate that lasts for several hours.
[0159] Species-specificity has been reported in the observation of bradycardia by S1P1-selective agonists. S1P1 receptor-selective agonists do not induce bradycardia in rodents, but S1P1-selective agonists tested in humans caused significant bradycardia in patients (Juif PE. et al, Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2017, 18, 2636; doi:10.3390 / ijms18122636; Pali L. et al, Pharmacol Res Perspect, 2017; e00370. wileyonlinelibrary.com / journal / prp2 | 1 of 12; Rey M et al, PLOS ONE, September 2013 | Volume 8 | Issue 9 | e74285). Surprisingly, the S1P1 receptor modulator represented by formula (I) did not induce bradycardia in humans when tested at different dose levels ranging from 0.5 mg to 12 mg (data for 12 mg shown in Figure 4).
[0160] Example 4: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of excision wounds Two groups, each containing six Wistar rats, were anesthetized with ketamine at a dose of 80 mg / kg (ip), and the backs of the animals were shorn. A total skin thickness of 600-700 mm was shorn from a designated area. 2 A single excision wound was created by cutting off a fragment (with a sterile scalpel). The wound was left exposed in an open environment. Rats in Group 1 were untreated and served as a sham control. Animals in Group 2 were treated with an ointment formulation (3% w / w) of the compound represented by formula (I). The ointment (0.20 g / animal wound) was applied topically twice daily. The compound represented by formula (I) did not inhibit or impair wound healing (Figure 7).
[0161] Example 5: In vitro efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) against inflammation: Cultured microglia (BV2 cells) and macrophages (raw cells) were treated with the compound shown in formula (I) (1–5 μg / mL) four hours before being treated with 500 ng / mL lipopolysaccharide (LPS). After 16–18 hours of drug treatment, cytokines (TNFα, IL1β, IL6) were measured in the culture medium by ELISA, and the expression levels of cyclooxygenase 2 (Cox-2), inducible nitroxide synthase (iNOS), or β-actin were analyzed by Western blotting in cell homogenates. A significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokines was observed after treatment with the compound shown in formula (I) (p<0.05).
[0162] Example 6: In vivo efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) against pruritus and inflammation: The efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) was evaluated in an animal model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), a widely accepted model of demyelinating diseases such as MS. cDNA was prepared from spleens obtained from vehicle-treated (control), EAE-induced (untreated), and EAE-induced (treated with the compound represented by formula (I)) animals (n=5 in each group) at recovery (days 1 to 27 of MBP immunization). Treatment with the compound represented by formula (I) (3 mg / kg) was initiated on day 11 of MBP immunization. cDNA was synthesized using the Bio-Rad cDNA synthesis kit. RT-PCR was performed for IL-31, IL1β, and IFNγ. Primers were obtained from Qiagen, and samples were analyzed using the Bio-Rad CFX96 real-time analysis system. Administration of the compound represented by formula (I) significantly reduced inflammatory markers (Figure 2). Statistical significance of the data is shown as p-values. * indicates p ≤ 0.05, and ** indicates p ≤ 0.01.
[0163] In models of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis, the compound represented by formula (I) downregulates the cytokines IL17, IL23, and IL2.
[0164] Example 7: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in a formalin-induced nociceptive (pain) animal model. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to different treatment and control groups, each containing eight rats. These groups were treated with different doses of the compound shown in Formula I, administered orally 30 minutes prior to formalin injection at doses of 0.03 mg / kg, 0.3 mg / kg, and 3.0 mg / kg. As a positive control, tramadol hydrochloride (30 mg / kg) was administered orally 30 minutes prior to formalin injection. Deionized water was used as a negative control (vehicle) and administered orally 30 minutes prior to formalin injection. Subsequently, each rat was gently restrained, and formalin (5% v / v in saline, 50 μl, sc) was injected into the sole of the left hind foot using a 27G needle. Foot twitching, a nociceptive behavior following formalin injection, was recorded in 5-minute intervals for 60 minutes. Intraplantar injection of formalin (50 μl, 5% v / v) induced significant ipsilateral rat paw flinching with a typical biphasic response in vehicle / distilled water-treated animals. Oral administration of the compound represented by formula (I) at 0.03 mg / kg, 0.3 mg / kg, and 3 mg / kg 30 minutes prior to formalin treatment inhibited nociceptive behavior. Inhibition of nociceptive behavior at 0.3 mg / kg (33%, p<0.05) and 3.0 mg / kg (45%, p<0.01) was statistically significant compared to vehicle controls.
[0165] Example 8: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain: Forty-eight male Sprague Dawley rats were assigned to different treatment and control groups, each containing eight animals. All animals except the naive control received four alternating intraperitoneal injections of paclitaxel (2 mg / kg) on D0, D2, D4, and D6. For prophylactic intervention, the compound represented by formula I was orally administered at doses of 0.3 g / kg / day, 1 g / kg / day, and 3 mg / kg / day at the start of treatment with paclitaxel administration, and this dose was continued until day 15 after the first paclitaxel injection. For therapeutic intervention, the compound represented by formula I was orally administered at a dose of 3 mg / kg / day at the start of treatment after the establishment of neuropathic pain, i.e., day 16 after the first paclitaxel injection, and this dose was continued for the next seven days.
[0166] For behavioral testing, each rat was individually acclimatized to a transparent enclosure on a height-adjustable wire mesh for at least 15 minutes. Behavioral testing was performed using an Electronic von Frey Aesthesiometer (IITC Life Science) to assess the paw withdrawal threshold in response to mechanical stimuli. Injection of paclitaxel into negative controls (paclitaxel + vehicle treatment) resulted in a significant decrease in the hind paw withdrawal threshold in response to mechanical stimuli, indicating the progression of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain. Treatment with the compound shown in formula (I) was initiated simultaneously with paclitaxel injection (prophylactic treatment), which dose-dependently inhibited the progression of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain, with the greatest effect observed at a dose of 3 mg / kg / day. Even when treatment with the compound shown in formula (I) was discontinued 15 days after the initial paclitaxel injection, no reversal of the drug's anti-allodynic effect occurred until 7 days after the last drug treatment (22 days of the study).
[0167] In the prevention model, the score at day 16 decreased by >60% at dose levels of 1 mg / kg and 3 mg / kg (p<0.001), and a similar decrease was observed in the treatment model. In the treatment model, after the establishment of paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain, treatment with the compound represented by formula (I) was initiated at an oral dose of 3 mg / kg / day, resulting in a time-dependent reversal of neuropathic pain. The maximum effect was recorded after the 1-day dose on day 5, and the effect persisted thereafter. From these findings, it can be concluded that treatment with the compound represented by formula (I) is effective for both prevention and treatment and has an anti-allodynic effect in paclitaxel-induced neuropathic pain.
[0168] Example 9: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of multiple sclerosis In an animal model of multiple sclerosis, oral treatment with the compound shown in formula (I) was performed. Female Lewis rats were induced to develop EAE using guinea pig MBP (25 μg / rat). Rats that developed EAE were divided into three groups (n=6) and administered orally either the compound shown in formula (I) (1.3 mg / kg) or FTY720 (1 mg / kg) daily until day 26. Both the compound shown in formula (I) and FTY720 showed similar effects in reducing the clinical signs of the disease, but lymphopenia was less pronounced in animals treated with the compound shown in formula (I). Furthermore, lymphopenia observed in rats treated with the compound shown in formula (I) recovered quickly in the short term, whereas lymphopenia observed in rats treated with FTY720 was induced at a high level over a long period.
[0169] Example 10: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in in vivo inflammation The efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) was determined in animal and inflammatory models of dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH). Animals (n=9) were treated with either the vehicle or the compound represented by formula (I) at a dose of 3 mg / kg twice daily. The efficacy endpoint was measured as ear thickness before and 24 hours after the challenge. Ear weight was measured 24 hours after the challenge. At sacrificial, a right ear sample was taken and subjected to tissue MPO activity testing. Administration of the compound represented by formula (I) significantly reduced ear thickness (approximately 70%, p<0.0001), ear weight (approximately 50%, p<0.01), and MPO activity.
[0170] Example 11: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of stroke The compound represented by formula (I) was evaluated in an animal model of stroke, specifically a middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model. The effects of the compound represented by formula (I) on 60-minute ischemia and 72-hour reperfusion of infarct (TTC staining) and BBB leakage (Evans blue exudation) were assessed. Oral administration of 1 mg / kg, 3 mg / kg, and 5 mg / kg of the compound represented by formula (I) significantly reduced infarct volume, infarct area, sensorimotor function, and blood-brain barrier leakage.
[0171] Example 12: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of sepsis Sepsis was induced in female Sprague-Dawley rats by administration of LPS (5 mg / kg), and the compound represented by formula (I) (3 mg / kg) was orally treated 1 hour later and then every 24 hours thereafter to determine the effect of the compound represented by formula (I) in this animal model of sepsis (LPS-mediated systemic inflammation). Animals were sacrificed 24 and 72 hours after LPS treatment. There were positive effects on body temperature and organ histopathology.
[0172] Example 13: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of ulcerative colitis The effects of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of ulcerative colitis were evaluated. Twenty-four Balb / C mice were divided into two groups: control and treatment (n=6). Acute colitis was induced in all groups by adding 2.5% w / v dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment in drinking water for 5-7 days. The compound represented by formula (I) was administered orally as repeated doses at a dose of 3 mg / kg body weight for 3 or 6 days. Daily administration of the compound represented by formula (I) resulted in improvement of DSS-induced colitis and a significant reduction in microscopic changes observed in the colon. Macroscopic pathological observations revealed that animals in the group on day 3 were slightly emaciated and had bloody anal sites in both groups. By day 6, these observations had decreased to 16.66% in the control group and 0.00% in the group with the compound represented by formula (I).
[0173] When the length of the colon was measured, the mean colon length of the control group was shorter than that of the treatment group. The mean colon lengths were 9.67 cm, 9.88 cm, 11.20 cm, and 13.02 cm for the control group on day 3, the control group on day 6, the group treated with the compound represented by formula I on day 3, and the group treated with the compound represented by formula I on day 6, respectively. Histopathological evaluation of the colon showed that in the control animals, 2 / 6 showed a severe increase in mucosal thickness, 1 / 6 showed a minimal increase, and 3 / 6 showed a mild increase. In animals treated with the compound represented by formula I, the severity was reduced, and the incidence of increased mucosal thickness was mild in 3 / 6 animals and minimal in 2 / 6 animals. Mucoseal goblet cells were absent in 3 / 6 animals in the control animals, but the number of mucoseal goblet cells increased moderately (4 / 6) in animals treated with the compound represented by formula I. The severity of hemorrhage with sloughed cells in the colon lumen of control animals was reduced in animals treated with the compound shown in formula (I). Histopathological evaluation on day 6 revealed a decrease in MNC infiltration, which was minimal and localized in 5 / 6 animals and moderate in 1 / 6 control animals. In the group treated with the compound shown in formula (I), it was minimal in 2 / 6 animals and mild in 1 / 6 animals. Mucosal thickness was also significantly reduced in animals treated with the compound shown in formula I compared to control animals. Compared to controls, mucosal goblet cells increased from moderate (4 / 6 animals) to minimal (1 / 6 animals) in animals treated with the compound shown in formula I.
[0174] Example 14: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in an animal model of epilepsy In an animal model of epilepsy, Sprague Dawley rats (n=6) were treated with the compound shown in formula (I) or a vehicle one hour before administration of kainic acid (10 mg / kg, IP). One hour after kainic acid administration, behavioral changes in the rats (grooming, leering, hindlimb scratching, urination, defecation, wet dog shakes, jaw movements, salivation, infantile spasms), seizure incidence, and latency / approximate mortality were observed up to one hour. A significant reduction in seizures (70%, p<0.005) was observed in the group treated with the compound shown in formula (I). Changes observed in the hippocampal region of control animals included minimal to mild neuronal cell death, particularly in the C3 and C1 regions, including vacuoles in neurons, demonstrating that the compound shown in formula (I) has a neuroprotective effect.
[0175] Example 15: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in patients with painful arthritis Fifteen arthritis patients experiencing pain were treated topically with the compound represented by formula (I) at 60 mg per day for seven consecutive days. The drug appeared safe and well-tolerated, and no serious or significant adverse events (AEs) were observed (all AEs were in the mild to moderate category). Blood parameters, urine analysis, vital signs, physical examination, and ECG were normal for all subjects. All participants (n=12) treated with the compound represented by formula (I) showed an overall positive response to the Global Patient Assessment of Treatment (PGART) score, observed on day 3 (41.7% of participants) and day 7 (58.3% of participants). In participants with osteoarthritis, a positive PGART response was observed by day 3 (28.6% of participants) and day 7 (57.1% of participants). Placebo participants (n=3) did not show a positive response.
[0176] In the group treated with the compound shown in Formula I (n=12), the numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain decreased from 7.1±1.38 (day 1; baseline) to 5.8±2.12 (day 3) and 4.8±2.72 (day 7). The mean change in NRS score from baseline was -1.3±1.54 (day 3) and -2.3±2.06 (day 7) points in arthritis participants treated with the compound shown in Formula I. In osteoarthritis participants, the 24-hour pain and worst pain scores from day 1 to day 7 were -1.9±1.46 and -1.9±1.57, respectively. The decrease in NRS score in these OA participants was found to be statistically significant (p=0.0153 and 0.0205, respectively). Topical application of the compound shown in Formula I for 7 days to arthritis participants was found to be safe, effective, and well-tolerated, resulting in a significant and rapid decrease in pain scores over time. There were no systemic changes in the absolute lymphocyte count. Systemic exposure on day 7 ranged from 0.42 ng / mL to 2.44 ng / mL (average 0.79 ng / mL).
[0177] Example 16: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in patients with psoriasis Twelve psoriasis patients were treated with 30 mg of the compound represented by formula (I) daily as a topical treatment under occlusion for 28 consecutive days. A significant reduction in the overall topical psoriasis severity index (LPSI) score compared to baseline was observed in the group treated with the compound represented by formula (I) at each visit from day 7 to day 28. The LPSI score decreased from 5.8 (day 1) to -2.1 (day 28) (p<0.0016), and no significant change was observed in the placebo group. Image analysis of clinical photographs showed a reduction in plaque area in some subjects in the group treated with the compound represented by formula (I). Systemic exposure after topical application was recorded at a limit of quantification (BLQ) <0.400 ng / mL. There were no systemic changes in absolute lymphocyte count. The study drug appeared to be well-tolerated, as evidenced by adverse events, laboratory blood parameters, urine analysis, vital signs, physical examination, and ECG.
[0178] Example 17: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in patients with atopic dermatitis Patients with atopic dermatitis were treated topically with the compound represented by formula (I) at 60 mg per day for 28 consecutive days. The compound represented by formula (I) resulted in a decrease in the overall eczema area and severity index (EASI) score and pruritus score (Figure 3) compared to baseline. There were no systemic changes in absolute lymphocyte count. The compound represented by formula (I) appears to be well tolerable, as evidenced by adverse events, laboratory blood parameters, urine analysis, vital signs, physical examination, and ECG. Systemic exposure up to week 3 did not result in lymphopenic events, and lymphocyte levels were ≤1–2.5 ng / mL.
[0179] Example 18: Efficacy of the compound represented by formula (I) in healthy human subjects Human subjects were treated with a single oral dose of the compound represented by formula (I) at 0.5 mg, 2 mg, 6 mg, and 12 mg in cohorts with different dose levels (each cohort = 8 human subjects).

[0195] Example 32: Compound substitute formulation represented by Formula I The compound represented by Formula I is soluble in water in salt forms such as HCl and mesylates, giving stable, clear solutions. The free base (free amine form) of the compound represented by Formula I is insoluble in water. To solubilize this free base in water, a novel technique, AvignaSOL (N,N-dimethylhexaneamide; Patent No.: US9186338B2) and its higher derivatives (octinamide, decamido, etc.), was used to improve the absorption of various poorly soluble drugs. AvignaSOL, at 1-70% ww%, assisted in the solubilization of the free base at 1 gm / 20 mL of water. The solubility of the free base in water is useful for direct use in various formulations such as creams, gels, and solutions, and is utilized to improve skin penetration and / or bioavailability, along with enhancing penetration effects, and to modify the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of the free base.
[0196] AvignaSOL, with a logP of approximately 1.6, inhibits release by increasing the hydrophobicity of the delivery system. Solubilized compounds of formula I-AvignaSOL do not precipitate in phosphate buffer at pH 6.8. Therefore, AvignaSOL can be used, but is not limited to, to increase the bioavailability of compounds represented by formula I via the intestine and / or skin. As a novel formulation technique to improve and / or modify the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles of compounds represented by formula I, combinations of AvignaSOL with other components, including or not including sustained-release enhancers, were prepared.

[Table 5]
[0200] iii) Preparation of sustained-release granules: The compound shown in formula I was dissolved in AvignaSOL by bath sonication, and then a mixture of isomalt and MCC PH101 was triturated in a mortar. Further ingredients, ethylcellulose, HPMC K100 M, and pregelatinized starch, were added by trituration in a mortar, and then the mixture was sieved three times through a #30 mesh. Next, 5 ml of an IPA:water (80:20) solution containing ethylcellulose was added to form the mixture into granules. In another experiment, the compound shown in formula I was mixed with isomalt, MCCPH101, 7 cps of ethylcellulose, HPMC K100 M, and pregelatinized starch, and then the mixture was sieved three times through a #30 mesh. Next, 5 ml of an IPA:water (80:20) solution containing ethylcellulose was added to form the mixture into granules. These moist granules were sieved through a #20 mesh and dried in a 65°C hot air oven for 2.5 hours. The granules that passed through the #20 mesh and were retained in a #60 mesh were used for an additional elution test at 37-40°C, showing the following in vitro releases: 1 hour (27%) and 19 hours (71.4%).
