[0001] COMPOUNDS FOR TREATING SPINAL MUSCULAR ATROPHY AND HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE
[0002] RELATED APPLICATION
[0003] This application claims the benefit of the filing date, under 35 U.S.C. §119(e), of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 601552, filed on November 21, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated here by reference.
[0004] BACKGROUND
[0005] Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a collection of inherited and acquired central nervous system (CNS) diseases that affects approximately 1 out of every 10,000 people. The most common form of SMA is caused by mutations in the Survival Motor Neuron (SMN) gene and manifests over a wide range of severity affecting infants through adults. The disease is characterized by progressive motor neuron loss in the spinal cord and brainstem causing muscle weakness and muscle atrophy.
[0006] The SMN gene has been mapped by linkage analysis to a complex region in chromosome 5q. In humans, this region contains an approximately 500 thousand base pairs (kb) inverted duplication resulting in two nearly identical copies of the SMN gene. SMA is caused by an inactivating mutation or deletion of the telomeric copy of the gene (SMN1) in both chromosomes, resulting in the loss of SMN1 gene function. However, all patients retain the centromeric copy of the gene (SMN2), and the copy number of the SMN2 gene in SMA patients generally correlates inversely with the disease severity, i.e., patients with less severe SMA have more copies of SMN2. Nevertheless, SMN2 is unable to compensate completely for the loss of SMN1 function due to alternative splicing of exon 7 caused by a translationally silent C to T mutation in exon 7. As a result, the majority of transcripts produced from SMN2 lack exon 7 (A7 SMN2), and encode a truncated SMN protein that has an impaired function and is rapidly degraded.
[0007] The discovery of the genetic cause of SMA has led to the development of several treatment options that affect the genes involved in SMA. Onasemnogene abeparvove (marketed as Zolgensma) is a gene replacement therapy that uses self-complementary adeno- associated virus type 9 (scAAV-9) as a vector to deliver the SMN1 transgene. Nusinersen (marketed as Spinraza) is an antisense nucleotide that modifies the alternative splicing of the SMN2 gene. Risdiplam ( marketed as Evyrsdi), a pyridazine derivative, can increase the amount of functional SMN protein produced by the SMN2 gene through modifying its splicing pattern.
[0008] Despite the recent development and approval of disease-modifying therapies, there is still need for new therapies for treating SMA.
[0009] Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neurodegenerative disorder, which has a prevalence of between three and seven individuals per 100,000 worldwide. HD is caused by cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeat expansions in the huntingtin (HTT) gene resulting in the production of a ubiquitously expressed pathogenic mutant HTT (mHTT) protein. Mutant huntingtin contains an abnormally long polyglutamine (polyQ) sequence that corresponds to the CAG genetic expansion; the protein exhibits toxic properties that cause dysfunction and death of neurons. The disease is characterized by motor, cognitive, psychiatric and functional capacity decline.
[0010] Some research progresses are being made in identifying HTT protein-lowering therapies using multiple tools, including ribonucleic acid (RNA) interference using short interfering RNAs, short-hairpin RNAs, or microRNAs and antisense oligonucleotides ("ASO") causing translational repression or messenger RNA (mRNA) degradation. However, these therapies require either surgical delivery of a viral vector for chronic HTT transcript lowering by RNAi, or repeated infusions into the cerebral spinal fluid ("CSF") by lumbar puncture for ASOs in the clinic.
[0011] More recently, a small molecule compound platform, which modulates RNA expression, i.e. splicing correction, is under development. NVS-SM1 (LMI070), now called branaplam, is a pyridazine derivative. It is reported that branaplam lowers mHTT protein levels in HD patient cells, in an HD mouse model and in blood samples from Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Type I patients dosed orally for SMA (NCT02268552). See Keller, C. etc., An Orally Available, Brain Penetrant, Small Molecule Lowers Huntingtin Levels by Enhancing Pseudoexon Inclusion, Nature Communications, (2022) 13:1150.
[0012] However, there are no approved disease-modifying treatments for HD till now, leaving a high unmet need for medications that can be used for treating or ameliorating HD. Accordingly, there is a need to find disease-modifying therapies for HD (i.e. therapeutic options that can slow disease progression).

In one embodiment, carbocyclyl is intended to include, bridged, fused, and spirocyclic rings. In a spirocyclic carbocyclyl, one atom is common to two different rings. An example of a spirocyclic carbocyclyl is spiro[3.3]heptanyl. In a bridged carbocyclyl, the rings share at least two common non- adjacent atoms. Examples of bridged carbocyclyls include bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl, bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enyl, and adamantanyl. In a fused-ring carbocyclyl system, two or more rings may be fused together, such that two rings share one common bond. Examples of two- or three-fused ring carbocyclyls include naphthalenyl, tetrahydronaphthalenyl (tetralinyl), indenyl, indanyl (dihydroindenyl), anthracenyl, phenanthrenyl, and decalinyl.
[0120] The term "bridged carbocyclyl" refers to a 5 to 12 membered polycyclic carbocyclyl group, wherein any two rings in the group share two disconnected atoms, the rings can have one or more double bonds but have no completely conjugated 7t-electron system.
[0121] Representative examples of bridged carbocyclyl include, but are not limited to the following groups:
[0122] The term “cycloalkyl” refers to a monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, or polycyclic saturated hydrocarbon groups having 3 to 12 ring carbons.

Non-limiting examples of spirocyclic cycloalkyls include spiro[2.2]pentane, spiro[2.5]octane, spiro[3.5]nonane, spiro[3.5]nonane, spiro[3.5]nonane, spiro[4.4]nonane, spiro[2.6]nonane, spiro[4.5]decane, spiro[3.6]decane, spiro[5.5]undecane, and the like.
[0123] The term “heterocyclyl” or “heterocyclic” refers to a radical of a 3- to 12-membered non-aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1 to 4 ring heteroatoms, wherein each heteroatom is independently selected from nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO), oxygen, and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone (“3-12 membered heterocyclyl”). In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group is a 3-7 membered non-aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and 1-4 ring heteroatoms, wherein each heteroatom is independently selected from nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur (“3-7 membered heterocyclyl”). In heterocyclyl groups that contain one or more nitrogen atoms, the point of attachment can be a carbon or nitrogen atom, as valency permits. A heterocyclyl group can either be monocyclic (“monocyclic heterocyclyl”) or polycyclic (e.g., a bicyclic system (“bicyclic heterocyclyl”) or tricyclic system (“tricyclic heterocyclyl”); polycyclic ring systems include fused, bridged, or spiro ring systems). Exemplary monocyclic heterocyclyl groups include azetidinyl, oxetanyl, thietanyl, tetrahydrofuranyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl, tetrahydropyranyl, piperazinyl, morpholinyl, azepanyl, oxepanyl, thiepanyl, tetrahydropyridinyl, and the like. Heterocyclyl polycyclic ring systems can include heteroatoms in one or more rings in the polycyclic ring system. Substituents may be present on one or more rings in the polycyclic ring system. In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group is a saturated heterocyclyl group. In some embodiments, a heterocyclyl group is a partially saturaturated heterocyclyl group. A partially saturaturated heterocyclyl group can contain one or more (e.g., 2 or 3) double bonds. A partially satuturated polycyclic heterocyclyl group can have one or more ring in the polycyclic ring system that are aromatic and at least one ring in the polyclyclic ring system is non-aromatic (e.g., fully saturated or partically saturated). For example, a partically saturated bicyclic heterocyclyl group can have a phenyl or a heteroaryl ring fused to a partially saturated heterocyclic ring.
[0124] Spiro heterocyclyl refers to 5 to 12 membered polycyclic heterocyclyl with rings connected through one common carbon atom (called as spiro atom), wherein said rings have one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO), oxygen, and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone, the remaining ring atoms being C, wherein one or more rings may contain one or more double bonds, but none of the rings has a completely conjugated pi-electron system. Representative examples of spiro heterocyclyl include, but are not limited to the following groups:
[0125] Fused heterocyclyl refers to a 5 to 12 membered polycyclic heterocyclyl group, wherein each ring in the group shares an adjacent pair of carbon atoms with another ring in the group, wherein one or more rings can contain one or more double bonds, but none of the rings has a completely conjugated 7t-electron system, and wherein said rings have one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO), oxygen, and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone, the remaining ring atoms being C. Representative examples of fused heterocyclyl include, but are not limited to the following groups:
[0126] Bridged heterocyclyl refers to a 5 to 12 membered polycyclic heterocyclyl group, wherein any two rings in the group share two disconnected atoms, the rings can have one or more double bonds but have no completely conjugated 7t-electron system, and the rings have one or more heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, quaternary nitrogen, oxidized nitrogen (e.g., NO), oxygen, and sulfur, including sulfoxide and sulfone as ring atoms, the remaining ring atoms being C. Representative examples of bridged heterocyclyl include, but are not limited to the following groups:
[0127] Generally, the cycloalkyl, or the heterocyclyl may be unsubstituted, or be substituted with one or more substituents as valency allows, wherein the substituents can be independently selected from a number of groups. Exemplary substituents include but are not limited to, oxo, -CN, halogen, alkyl and alkoxyl, optionally, the alkyl substitution may be further substituted.
[0128] The term “aryl” refers to a 6 to 10 membered all-carbon monocyclic ring or a polycyclic fused ring (a “fused” ring system means that each ring in the system shares an adjacent pair of carbon atoms with other ring in the system) group, and has a completely conjugated 7t-electron system. The term “aryl” may be used interchangeably with the terms “aryl ring” “carbocyclic aromatic ring”, “aryl group” and “carbocyclic aromatic group”. Representative examples of aryl are phenyl and naphthyl.
[0129] The term “heteroaryl,” as used herein, refers to a monocyclic or multicyclic (e.g., bicyclic) aromatic hydrocarbon in which at least one of the ring carbon atoms has been replaced with a heteroatom independently selected from oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. Preferably, the heteroaryl is based on a C5-10 aryl with one or more of its ring carbon atoms replaced by the heteroatom. A heteroaryl group may be attached through a ring carbon atom or, where valency permits, through a ring nitrogen atom. Generally, the heteroaryl may be unsubstituted, or be substituted with one or more substituents as valency allows. Exemplary substituents include, but are not limited to, halogen, OH, alkyl, alkoxyl, and amino (e.g., NH2, NHalkyl, N(alkyl)2), optionally, the alkyl may be further substituted. A heteroaryl group can either be monocyclic (“monocyclic heteroaryl”) or polycyclic (e.g., a bicyclic system (“bicyclic heteroaryl”) or tricyclic system (“tricyclic heteroaryl”); polycyclic ring systems include fused, bridged, or spiro ring systems).
[0130] Examples of monocyclic 5-6 membered heteroaryl groups include furanyl (e.g., 2- furanyl, 3-furanyl), imidazolyl (e.g., N-imidazolyl, 2-imidazolyl, 4-imidazolyl, 5-imidazolyl), isoxazolyl ( e.g., 3-isoxazolyl, 4-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl), oxadiazolyl (e.g., 2-oxadiazolyl, 5- oxadiazolyl), oxazolyl (e.g., 2-oxazolyl, 4-oxazolyl, 5-oxazolyl), pyrazolyl (e.g., 3-pyrazolyl, 4-pyrazolyl), pyrrol yl (e.g., 1 -pyrrol yl, 2-pyrrolyl, 3 -pyrrol yl), pyridyl (e.g., 2-pyridyl, 3- pyridyl, 4-pyridyl), pyrimidinyl (e.g., 2-pyrimidinyl, 4-pyrimidinyl, 5-pyrimidinyl), pyridazinyl (e.g., 3-pyridazinyl), thiazolyl (e.g., 2-thiazolyl, 4-thiazolyl, 5-thiazolyl), triazolyl (e.g., 2-triazolyl, 5 -triazolyl), tetrazolyl (e.g., tetrazol yl), thienyl (e.g., 2-thienyl, 3 -thienyl), pyrimidinyl, pyridinyl and pyridazinyl. Examples of polycyclic aromatic heteroaryl groups include carbazolyl, benzimidazolyl, benzothienyl, benzofuranyl, indolyl, quinolinyl, benzotriazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzimidazolyl, isoquinolinyl, indolyl, isoindolyl, acridinyl, or benzisoxazolyl. A “substituted heteroaryl group” is substituted at any one or more substitutable ring atom, which is a ring carbon or ring nitrogen atom bonded to a hydrogen.
[0131] As used herein, many moi eties (e.g., alkyl, alkylene, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, or heterocyclyl ) are referred to as being either “substituted” or “optionally substituted”. When a moiety is modified by one of these terms, unless otherwise noted, it denotes that any portion of the moiety that is known to one skilled in the art as being available for substitution can be substituted, which includes one or more substituents. Where if more than one substituent is present, then each substituent may be independently selected. Such means for substitution are well-known in the art and / or taught by the instant disclosure. The optional substituents can be any substituents that are suitable to attach to the moiety.
[0132] Where suitable substituents are not specifically enumerated, exemplary substituents include, but are not limited to: Ci-salkyl, Ci-shydroxyalkyl, Ci-shaloalkyl, Ci-salkoxy, Ci-5 haloalkoxy, halogen, hydroxyl, cyano, amino, -CN, -NO2, -ORcl, -NRalRbl, -S(O)iRal, -NRalS(O)iRbl, -S(O)iNRalRbl, -C(=O)ORal, -OC(=O)ORal, -C(=S)ORal, -O(C=S)Ral, -C(=O)NRalRbl, -NRalC(=O)Rbl, -C(=S)NRalRbl, -C(=O)Ral, -C(=S)Ral, NRalC(=S)Rbl, -O(C=O)NRalRbl, -NRal(C=S)ORbl, -O(C=S)NRalRbl, -NRal(C=O)NRalRbl, -NRal(C=S)NRalRbl, phenyl, or 5-6 membered heteroaryl.

[0133] The symbol “ ,” as used herein, refers to the point where the moiety attaches.
[0134] Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts
[0135] The term “pharmaceutically-acceptable salt” refers to a pharmaceutical salt that is, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and lower animals without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, and is commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically-acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, S. M. Berge et al. describes pharmacologically acceptable salts in J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19.
[0136] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of any one of the formulae described above include acid addition and base salts.
[0137] Included in the present teachings are pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds disclosed herein. Compounds having basic groups can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable acid(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds described herein include salts of inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, metaphosphoric, nitric, and sulfuric acids) and of organic acids (such as acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, ethanesulfonic, methanesulfonic, and succinic acids). Compounds of the present teachings with acidic groups such as carboxylic acids can form pharmaceutically acceptable salts with pharmaceutically acceptable base(s). Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable basic salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts (such as sodium and potassium salts) and alkaline earth metal salts (such as magnesium and calcium salts).
[0138] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of any one of the formulae described above may be prepared by one or more of three methods:
[0139] (i) by reacting the compound of any one of the formulae described above with the desired acid or base;
[0140] (ii) by removing an acid- or base-labile protecting group from a suitable precursor of the compound of any one of the formulae described above or by ring-opening a suitable cyclic precursor, for example, a lactone or lactam, using the desired acid or base; or
[0141] (iii) by converting one salt of the compound of any one of the formulae described above to another by reaction with an appropriate acid or base or by means of a suitable ion exchange column.
[0142] All three reactions are typically carried out in solution. The resulting salt may precipitate out and be collected by filtration or may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The degree of ionisation in the resulting salt may vary from completely ionised to almost non-ionised.
[0143] The compounds of any one of the formulae described above, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. Stereoisomers and Other Variations
[0144] The compounds of any one of the formulae described above may exhibit one or more kinds of isomerism (e.g. optical, geometric or tautomeric isomerism). Such variation is implicit to the compounds of any one of the formulae described above defined as they are by reference to their structural features and therefore within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0145] Compounds having one or more chiral centers can exist in various stereoisomeric forms, z.e., each chiral center can have an R or S configuration, or can be a mixture of both. Stereoisomers are compounds that differ only in their spatial arrangement. Stereoisomers include all diastereomeric and enantiomeric forms of a compound. Enantiomers are stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. Diastereomers are stereoisomers having two or more chiral centers that are not identical and are not mirror images of each other.
[0146] When a compound is designated by its chemical name (e.g., where the configuration is indicated in the chemical name by “7?” or “S”) or its structure (e.g., the configuration is indicated by “wedge” bonds) that indicates a single enantiomer, unless indicated otherwise, the compound is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% optically pure (also referred to as “enantiomerically pure”). Optical purity is the weight in the mixture of the named or depicted enantiomer divided by the total weight in the mixture of both enantiomers.
[0147] When the stereochemistry of a disclosed compound is named or depicted by structure, and the named or depicted structure encompasses more than one stereoisomer (e.g., as in a diastereomeric pair), it is to be understood that one of the encompassed stereoisomers or any mixture of the encompassed stereoisomers is included. It is to be further understood that the stereoisomeric purity of the named or depicted stereoisomers at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99% or 99.9% by weight. The stereoisomeric purity in this case is determined by dividing the total weight in the mixture of the stereoisomers encompassed by the name or structure by the total weight in the mixture of all of the stereoisomers.
[0148] When two stereoisomers are depicted by their chemical names or structures, and the chemical names or structures are connected by an “and”, a mixture of the two stereoisomers is intended.
[0149] When two stereoisomers are depicted by their chemical names or structures, and the names or structures are connected by an “or”, one or the other of the two stereoisomers is intended, but not both.
[0150] When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by a structure without showing a configuration at that chiral center, the structure is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center, or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center. When a disclosed compound having a chiral center is depicted by its chemical name without indicating a configuration at that chiral center with “S” or “7?”, the name is meant to encompass the compound with the S configuration at that chiral center, the compound with the R configuration at that chiral center or the compound with a mixture of the R and S configuration at that chiral center.
[0151] Racemic mixture means 50% of one enantiomer and 50% of the corresponding enantiomer. When a compound with one chiral center is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral center, it is understood that the name or structure encompasses both possible enantiomeric forms (e.g., both enantiomerically-pure, enantiomerically-enriched or racemic) of the compound. When a compound with two or more chiral centers is named or depicted without indicating the stereochemistry of the chiral centers, it is understood that the name or structure encompasses all possible diasteriomeric forms (e.g., diastereomerically pure, diastereomerically enriched and equimolar mixtures of one or more diastereomers (e.g., racemic mixtures) of the compound.
[0152] The term “geometric isomer” means isomers that differ in the orientation of substituent atoms in relationship to a carbon-carbon double bond, to a carbocyclic ring, or to a bridged bicyclic system. Substituent atoms (other than hydrogen) on each side of a carboncarbon double bond may be in an E or Z configuration according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules. In the “E” configuration, the substituents having the highest priorities are on opposite sides in relationship to the carbon-carbon double bond. In the “Z” configuration, the substituents having the highest priorities are oriented on the same side in relationship to the carbon-carbon double bond.
[0153] Substituents around a carbon-carbon double bond can also be referred to as “cis” or “trans,” where “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the double bond and “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the double bond. The arrangement of substituents around a carbocyclic ring can also be designated as “cis” or “trans.” The term “cis” represents substituents on the same side of the plane of the ring, and the term “trans” represents substituents on opposite sides of the plane of the ring. Mixtures of compounds wherein the substituents are disposed on both the same and opposite sides of plane of the ring are designated “cis / trans.”
[0154] Where structural isomers are interconvertible via a low energy barrier, tautomeric isomerism (“tautomerism”) can occur. This can take the form of proton tautomerism in compounds of any one of the formulae described above containing, for example, an imino, keto, or oxime group, or so-called valence tautomerism in compounds which contain an aromatic moiety. It follows that a single compound may exhibit more than one type of isomerism.
[0155] In certain instances tautomeric forms of the disclosed compounds exist, such as the tautomeric structures shown below:
[0156] When a geometric isomer is depicted by name or structure, it is to be understood that the named or depicted isomer exists to a greater degree than another isomer, that is that the geometric isomeric purity of the named or depicted geometric isomer is greater than 50%, such as at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 99%, or 99.9% pure by weight. Geometric isomeric purity is determined by dividing the weight of the named or depicted geometric isomer in the mixture by the total weight of all of the geomeric isomers in the mixture.
[0157] Cis / trans isomers may be separated by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallisation.
[0158] Conventional techniques for the prep aration / i solation of individual enantiomers / diastereomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Alternatively, the racemate (or a racemic precursor) may be reacted with a suitable optically active compound, for example, an alcohol, or, in the case where the compound of any one of the formulae described above contains an acidic or basic moiety, a base or acid such as 1 -phenyl ethylamine or tartaric acid. The resulting diastereomeric mixture may be separated by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization and one or both of the diastereoisomers converted to the corresponding pure enantiomer(s) by means well known to a skilled person. Chiral compounds of any one of the formulae described above (and chiral precursors thereof) may be obtained in enantiomerically-enriched form using chromatography, typically HPLC, on an asymmetric resin with a mobile phase consisting of a hydrocarbon, typically heptane or hexane, containing from 0 to 50% by volume of isopropanol, typically from 2% to 20%, and from 0 to 5% by volume of an alkylamine, typically 0.1% diethylamine. Concentration of the eluate affords the enriched mixture. Chiral chromatography using sub-and supercritical fluids may be employed. Methods for chiral chromatography useful in some embodiments of the present disclosure are known in the art (see, for example, Smith, Roger M., Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK; Chromatographic Science Series (1998), 75 (Supercritical Fluid Chromatography with Packed Columns), pp. 223-249 and references cited therein). Columns can be obtained from Chiral Technologies, Inc, West Chester, Pa., USA, a subsidiary of Daicel® Chemical Industries, Ltd., Tokyo, Japan.
[0159] It must be emphasized that the compounds of any one of the formulae described above have been drawn herein in a single tautomeric form, all possible tautomeric forms are included within the scope of the present disclosure.

Other pharmacologically active substances can also be present.
[0171] As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like that are physiologically compatible. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include one or more of water, saline, phosphate buffered saline, dextrose, glycerol, ethanol and the like, as well as combinations thereof, and may include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, sodium chloride, or polyalcohols such as mannitol, or sorbitol in the composition. Pharmaceutically acceptable substances such as wetting agents or minor amounts of auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents, preservatives or buffers, which enhance the shelf life or effectiveness of the antibody or antibody portion.
[0172] The compositions of present disclosure may be in a variety of forms. These include, for example, liquid, semi-solid and solid dosage forms, such as liquid solutions (e.g., injectable and infusible solutions), dispersions or suspensions, tablets, pills, powders, liposomes and suppositories. The form depends on the intended mode of administration and therapeutic application.
[0173] Typical compositions are in the form of injectable or infusible solutions, such as compositions similar to those used for passive immunization of humans with antibodies in general. One mode of administration is parenteral (e.g. intravenous, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular). In another embodiment, the antibody is administered by intravenous infusion or injection. In yet another embodiment, the antibody is administered by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection.
[0174] Oral administration of a solid dose form may be, for example, presented in discrete units, such as hard or soft capsules, pills, cachets, lozenges, or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of at least one compound of the present disclosure. In another embodiment, the oral administration may be in a powder or granule form. In another embodiment, the oral dose form is sub-lingual, such as, for example, a lozenge. In such solid dosage forms, the compounds of any one of the formulae described above are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled release formulation. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms also may comprise buffering agents or may be prepared with enteric coatings.
[0175] In another embodiment, oral administration may be in a liquid dose form. Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, for example, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art (e.g., water). Such compositions also may comprise adjuvants, such as wetting, emulsifying, suspending, flavoring (e.g., sweetening), and / or perfuming agents.
[0176] In another embodiment, the present disclosure comprises a parenteral dose form.
[0177] “Parenteral administration” includes, for example, subcutaneous injections, intravenous injections, intraperitoneally, intramuscular injections, intrasternal injections, and infusion. Injectable preparations (i.e., sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions) may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing, wetting agents, and / or suspending agents.
[0178] In another embodiment, the present disclosure comprises a topical dose form.
[0179] “Topical administration” includes, for example, transdermal administration, such as via transdermal patches or iontophoresis devices, intraocular administration, or intranasal or inhalation administration. Compositions for topical administration also include, for example, topical gels, sprays, ointments, and creams. A topical formulation may include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. When the compounds of present disclosure are administered by a transdermal device, administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. Typical formulations for this purpose include gels, hydrogels, lotions, solutions, creams, ointments, dusting powders, dressings, foams, films, skin patches, wafers, implants, sponges, fibres, bandages and microemulsions. Liposomes may also be used. Typical carriers include alcohol, water, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, glycerin, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol. Penetration enhancers may be incorporated - see, for example, Finnin and Morgan, J. Pharm. Set, 88:955-958, 1999.
[0180] Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye include, for example, eye drops wherein the compound of present disclosure is dissolved or suspended in a suitable carrier. A typical formulation suitable for ocular or aural administration may be in the form of drops of a micronized suspension or solution in isotonic, pH-adjusted, sterile saline. Other formulations suitable for ocular and aural administration include ointments, biodegradable (z.e., absorbable gel sponges, collagen) and non-biodegradable (z.e., silicone) implants, wafers, lenses and particulate or vesicular systems, such as niosomes or liposomes. A polymer such as crossed linked polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, hyaluronic acid, a cellulosic polymer, for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, or methylcellulose, or a heteropolysaccharide polymer, for example, gelan gum, may be incorporated together with a preservative, such as benzalkonium chloride. Such formulations may also be delivered by iontophoresis.
[0181] For intranasal administration or administration by inhalation, the compounds of the present disclosure are conveniently delivered in the form of a solution or suspension from a pump spray container that is squeezed or pumped by the patient or as an aerosol spray presentation from a pressurized container or a nebulizer, with the use of a suitable propellant. Formulations suitable for intranasal administration are typically administered in the form of a dry powder (either alone, as a mixture, for example, in a dry blend with lactose, or as a mixed component particle, for example, mixed with phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine) from a dry powder inhaler or as an aerosol spray from a pressurized container, pump, spray, atomizer (preferably an atomizer using electrohydrodynamics to produce a fine mist), or nebulizer, with or without the use of a suitable propellant, such as 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane. For intranasal use, the powder may comprise a bioadhesive agent, for example, chitosan or cyclodextrin.
[0182] In another embodiment, the present disclosure comprises a rectal dose form. Such rectal dose form may be in the form of, for example, a suppository. Cocoa butter is a traditional suppository base, but various alternatives may be used as appropriate.
[0183] Other carrier materials and modes of administration known in the pharmaceutical art may also be used. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be prepared by any of the well-known techniques of pharmacy, such as effective formulation and administration procedures.
[0184] The above considerations in regard to effective formulations and administration procedures are well known in the art and are described in standard textbooks. Formulation of drugs is discussed in, for example, Hoover, John E., Remington ’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 1975; Liberman el al., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, N.Y., 1980; and Kibbe et al., Eds., Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients (3rdEd.), American Pharmaceutical Association, Washington, 1999.

[0211] The following representative examples contain important additional information, exemplification and guidance which can be adapted to the practice of this invention in its various embodiments and the equivalents thereof. These examples are intended to help illustrate the invention, and are not intended to, nor should they be construed to, limit its scope. Indeed, various modifications of the invention, and many further embodiments thereof, in addition to those shown and described herein, will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon review of this document, including the examples which follow and the references to the scientific and patent literature cited herein.
[0212] The contents of the cited references are incorporated herein by reference to help illustrate the state of the art.
[0213] In addition, for purposes of this invention, the chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75thEd., inside cover. Additionally, general principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in “Organic Chemistry,” Thomas Sorrell, University Science Books, Sausalito: 1999, and “Organic Chemistry,” Morrison & Boyd (3d Ed), the entire contents of both of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0214] 7. Preparation
[0215] The compounds of any one of the formulae described above, may be prepared by the general and specific methods described below, using the common general knowledge of one skilled in the art of synthetic organic chemistry. Such common general knowledge can be found in standard reference books such as Comprehensive Organic Chemistry, Ed. Barton and Ollis, Elsevier; Comprehensive Organic Transformations: A Guide to Functional Group Preparations, Larock, John Wiley and Sons; and Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Vol. I-XII (published by Wiley-Interscience). The starting materials used herein are commercially available or may be prepared by routine methods known in the art.
[0216] In the preparation of the compounds of any one of the formulae described above, it is noted that some of the preparation methods described herein may require protection of remote functionality (e.g., primary amine, secondary amine, carboxyl in any one of the formulae described above precursors). The need for such protection will vary depending on the nature of the remote functionality and the conditions of the preparation methods. The need for such protection is readily determined by one skilled in the art. The use of such protect! on / deprotecti on methods is also within the skill in the art. For a general description of protecting groups and their use, see Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1991.
[0217] For example, certain compounds contain primary amines or carboxylic acid functionalities which may interfere with reactions at other sites of the molecule if left unprotected. Accordingly, such functionalities may be protected by an appropriate protecting group which may be removed in a subsequent step. Suitable protecting groups for amine and carboxylic acid protection include those protecting groups commonly used in peptide synthesis (such as N-t-butoxy carbonyl (Boc), benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz), and 9- fluorenylmethylenoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) for amines, and lower alkyl or benzyl esters for carboxylic acids) which are generally not chemically reactive under the reaction conditions described and can typically be removed without chemically altering other functionality in the any one of the formulae described above compounds.
[0218] The Schemes described below are intended to provide a general description of the methodology employed in the preparation of the compounds of the present disclosure. Some of the compounds of the present disclosure may contain single or multiple chiral centers with the stereochemical designation (R) or (5). It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that all of the synthetic transformations can be conducted in a similar manner whether the materials are enantio-enriched or racemic. Moreover, the resolution to the desired optically active material may take place at any desired point in the sequence using well known methods such as described herein and in the chemistry literature.
