Description

[0001] COMPOUNDS AND METHODS FOR MODULATING ACUTE ACTIVATION Cross-Reference to Related Applications This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Application No.63 / 601,681, filed November 21, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety for any purpose. SEQUENCE LISTING The present application is being filed along with a Sequence Listing in electronic format. The Sequence Listing is provided as a file entitled FMDL0018SEQ.xml, created on November 19, 2024, which is 3,574 KB in size. The information in the electronic format of the sequence listing is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are a class of therapeutics for treating a variety of diseases and disorders including neurodegenerative diseases and neurodevelopmental disorders. When injected into the cerebrospinal fluid, some of the ASOs induce transient or acute neurotoxicity (or neurobehavioral side effects), ranging from reduced motor activity to acute seizure-like phenotypes (Moazami et al., bioRxiv 2021.02.14.431096). Several studies have been conducted to elucidate the mechanism behind such acute neurotoxicity. Innate immune response and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) have been ruled out while inotropic glutamate receptor subtype α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs) has been implicated in modulating acute neurotoxicity (Jia et al., Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids.2022.31:182-196). Dysregulation of calcium homeostasis, both extracellularly and intracellularly, have also been suggested to play a role in contributing to acute neurotoxicity (Jia et al., 2022; Hagedorn, al., Nucleic Acids Therapeutics.2022.32(3): 151-162). Interestingly, one study shows that addition of calcium ions to an ASO solution worsened rather than improved acute neurotoxicity when the ASO solution is injected by i.c.v. administration in mice (Jia al., 2022). Currently, there is a lack of acceptable options for ameliorating or preventing acute neurotoxicity. It is therefore an objective herein to provide pharmaceutical compounds, formulations, and methods for ameliorating or preventing such acute neurotoxicity. SUMMARY Provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for ameliorating an acute neurotoxicity associated with administration of an oligomeric compound in a subject. The administration may be by direct injection into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of the subject, which may be intrathecal or intracerebroventricular administration. Also provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions and method for ameliorating or preventing development of an acute neurotoxicity associated with administration of an oligomeric compound in a subject, e.g., compared to administration of a typical formulation of an oligomeric compound. In certain embodiments, the formulation of the oligomeric compound ameliorates acute neurotoxicity. In certain embodiments, the formulation of the oligomeric compound decreases the frequency, duration, and / or intensity of an acute neurotoxicity. In certain embodiments, the formulation of the oligomeric compound prevents an acute neurotoxicity. In certain embodiments, the acute neurotoxicity is an acute activation.

In certain embodiments, bicyclic sugar moieties and nucleosides incorporating such bicyclic sugar moieties are further defined by isomeric configuration. For example, an LNA nucleoside (described herein) may be in the α-L configuration or in the β-D configuration. α-L-methyleneoxy (4’-CH2-O-2’) or α-L-LNA bicyclic nucleosides have been incorporated into oligonucleotides that showed antisense activity (Frieden et al., Nucleic Acids Research, 2003, 21, 6365- 6372). The addition of locked nucleic acids to siRNAs has been shown to increase siRNA stability in serum, and to reduce off-target effects (Elmen, J. et al., (2005) Nucleic Acids Research 33(1):439-447; Mook, OR. et al., (2007) Mol Canc Ther 6(3):833-843; Grunweller, A. et al., (2003) Nucleic Acids Research 31(12):3185- 3193). Herein, general descriptions of bicyclic nucleosides include both isomeric configurations. When the positions of specific bicyclic nucleosides (e.g., LNA or cEt) are identified in exemplified embodiments herein, they are in the β-D configuration, unless otherwise specified. In certain embodiments, modified sugar moieties comprise one or more non-bridging sugar substituent and one or more bridging sugar substituent (e.g., 5’-substituted and 4’-2’ bridged sugars). In certain embodiments, modified sugar moieties are sugar surrogates. In certain such embodiments, the oxygen atom of the sugar moiety is replaced, e.g., with a sulfur, carbon or nitrogen atom. In certain such embodiments, such modified sugar moieties also comprise bridging and / or non-bridging substituents as described herein. For example, certain sugar surrogates comprise a 4’-sulfur atom and a substitution at the 2'- position and / or the 5’ position.

Oligonucleotides 25 nucleobases in length with 8 or 11 mismatch bases near the ends of the oligonucleotides were able to direct specific cleavage of the target RNA, albeit to a lesser extent than the oligonucleotides that contained no mismatches. Similarly, target specific cleavage was achieved using 13 nucleobase oligonucleotides, including those with 1 or 3 mismatches. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides (including modified oligonucleotides) can have any of a variety of ranges of lengths.

For example, the internucleoside linkages within the wing regions of a sugar gapmer may be the same or different from one another and may be the same or different from the internucleoside linkages of the gap region of the sugar motif. Likewise, such sugar gapmer oligonucleotides may comprise one or more modified nucleobase independent of the gapmer pattern of the sugar modifications.

In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises at least one phosphorus moiety. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker comprises at least one phosphate group. In certain embodiments, the conjugate linker includes at least one neutral linking group. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers, including the conjugate linkers described above, are bifunctional linking moieties, e.g., those known in the art to be useful for attaching conjugate groups to compounds, such as the oligonucleotides provided herein. In general, a bifunctional linking moiety comprises at least two functional groups. One of the functional groups is selected to bind to a particular site on a compound and the other is selected to bind to a conjugate group. Examples of functional groups used in a bifunctional linking moiety include but are not limited to electrophiles for reacting with nucleophilic groups and nucleophiles for reacting with electrophilic groups. In certain embodiments, bifunctional linking moieties comprise one or more groups selected from amino, hydroxyl, carboxylic acid, thiol, alkyl, alkenyl, and alkynyl. Examples of conjugate linkers include but are not limited to pyrrolidine, 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (ADO), succinimidyl 4-(N-maleimidomethyl) cyclohexane-1-carboxylate (SMCC) and 6-aminohexanoic acid (AHEX or AHA). Other conjugate linkers include but are not limited to substituted or unsubstituted C1- C10alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10alkenyl or substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10alkynyl, wherein a nonlimiting list of preferred substituent groups includes hydroxyl, amino, alkoxy, carboxy, benzyl, phenyl, nitro, thiol, thioalkoxy, halogen, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl and alkynyl. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise 1-10 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise 2-5 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise exactly 3 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise the TCA motif. In certain embodiments, such linker-nucleosides are modified nucleosides. In certain embodiments such linker- nucleosides comprise a modified sugar moiety. In certain embodiments, linker-nucleosides are unmodified. In certain embodiments, linker-nucleosides comprise an optionally protected heterocyclic base selected from a purine, substituted purine, pyrimidine or substituted pyrimidine. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a nucleoside selected from uracil, thymine, cytosine, 4-N-benzoylcytosine, 5-methylcytosine, 4-N-benzoyl- 5-methylcytosine, adenine, 6-N-benzoyladenine, guanine and 2-N-isobutyrylguanine. It is typically desirable for linker-nucleosides to be cleaved from the oligomeric compound after it reaches a target tissue. Accordingly, linker-nucleosides are typically linked to one another and to the remainder of the oligomeric compound through cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, such cleavable bonds are phosphodiester bonds. Herein, linker-nucleosides are not considered to be part of the oligonucleotide. Accordingly, in embodiments in which an oligomeric compound comprises an oligonucleotide consisting of a specified number or range of linked nucleosides and / or a specified percent complementarity to a reference nucleic acid and the oligomeric compound also comprises a conjugate group comprising a conjugate linker comprising linker-nucleosides, those linker-nucleosides are not counted toward the length of the oligonucleotide and are not used in determining the percent complementarity of the oligonucleotide for the reference nucleic acid. For example, an oligomeric compound may comprise (1) a modified oligonucleotide consisting of 8-30 nucleosides and (2) a conjugate group comprising 1-10 linker-nucleosides that are contiguous with the nucleosides of the modified oligonucleotide. The total number of contiguous linked nucleosides in such an oligomeric compound is more than 30. Alternatively, an oligomeric compound may comprise a modified oligonucleotide consisting of 8-30 nucleosides and no conjugate group. The total number of contiguous linked nucleosides in such an oligomeric compound is no more than 30. Unless otherwise indicated conjugate linkers comprise no more than 10 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 5 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 3 linker- nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 2 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise no more than 1 linker-nucleoside. In certain embodiments, it is desirable for a conjugate group to be cleaved from the oligonucleotide. For example, in certain circumstances oligomeric compounds comprising a particular conjugate moiety are better taken up by a particular cell type, but once the oligomeric compound has been taken up, it is desirable that the conjugate group be cleaved to release the unconjugated or parent oligonucleotide. Thus, certain conjugate linkers may comprise one or more cleavable moieties. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a cleavable bond. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is a group of atoms comprising at least one cleavable bond. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises a group of atoms having one, two, three, four, or more than four cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is selectively cleaved inside a cell or subcellular compartment, such as a lysosome. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is selectively cleaved by endogenous enzymes, such as nucleases. In certain embodiments, a cleavable bond is selected from: an amide, an ester, an ether, one or both esters of a phosphodiester, a phosphate ester, a carbamate, or a disulfide. In certain embodiments, a cleavable bond is one or both of the esters of a phosphodiester. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises a phosphate or phosphodiester. In certain embodiments, the cleavable moiety is a phosphate linkage between an oligonucleotide and a conjugate moiety or conjugate group. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety comprises or consists of one or more linker-nucleosides. In certain such embodiments, the one or more linker-nucleosides are linked to one another and / or to the remainder of the oligomeric compound through cleavable bonds. In certain embodiments, such cleavable bonds are unmodified phosphodiester bonds. In certain embodiments, a cleavable moiety is 2'- deoxynucleoside that is attached to either the 3' or 5'-terminal nucleoside of an oligonucleotide by a phosphate internucleoside linkage and covalently attached to the remainder of the conjugate linker or conjugate moiety by a phosphate or phosphorothioate linkage. In certain such embodiments, the cleavable moiety is 2'-deoxyadenosine. 3. Cell-Targeting Moieties In certain embodiments, a conjugate group comprises a cell-targeting moiety. In certain embodiments, the cell-targeting moiety targets neurons. In certain embodiments, the cell-targeting moiety targets a neurotransmitter receptor. In certain embodiments, the cell targeting moiety targets a neurotransmitter transporter. In certain embodiments, the cell targeting moiety targets a GABA transporter.

In certain embodiments, a fragment of an anti-TfR1 antibody is a F(ab′)2, Fab, Fab′, Fv, scFv, VHH, or VNAR. In certain embodiments, an antibody binds to TfR1 through an engineered Fc domain rather than through the antigen-binding portion, as described in, e.g., US 2020 / 0223935. In certain embodiments, the conjugate group comprises a protein or peptide capable of binding TfR1 that does not include the antigen-binding fragment of an antibody.

In certain embodiments, the inverted abasic sugar moiety may be further attached to a conjugate group. In certain embodiments, terminal groups comprise one or more 2’-linked nucleosides or sugar moieties. In certain such embodiments, the 2’-linked group is an abasic sugar moiety. Such terminal abasic sugar moieties can be attached to either or both ends of an oligonucleotide. In any of the oligomeric duplexes described herein, the first oligomeric compound can comprise a stabilized phosphate group at the 5’ position of the 5’-most nucleoside. In any of the oligomeric duplexes described herein, the first oligomeric compound can comprise a stabilized phosphate group attached to the 5’ position of the 5’-most nucleoside. In certain embodiments, an antisense RNAi oligonucleotide comprises a stabilized phosphate group at the 5’-most nucleoside. In certain embodiments, the stabilized phosphate group comprises a cyclopropyl phosphonate or an (E)-vinyl phosphonate. In certain embodiments, the stabilized phosphate group is an (E)-vinyl phosphonate. Certain stabilized phosphates are described in WO2010 / 048585, WO2010 / 048549, WO 2011 / 139702, WO 2017 / 214112, WO 2018 / 045317, and WO 2024 / 062413.

VII. Antisense Activity In certain embodiments, oligomeric compounds are capable of hybridizing to a target nucleic acid, resulting in at least one antisense activity. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds are deemed to have antisense activity when they reduce or inhibit the amount or activity of a target nucleic acid by 50% or more in the standard in vitro assay. In certain embodiments, antisense compounds selectively affect one or more target nucleic acid. Such antisense compounds comprise a nucleobase sequence that hybridizes to one or more target nucleic acid, resulting in one or more desired antisense activity and does not hybridize to one or more non-target nucleic acid or does not hybridize to one or more non-target nucleic acid in such a way that results in significant undesired antisense activity. In certain antisense activities, hybridization of an antisense compound to a target nucleic acid results in recruitment of a protein that cleaves the target nucleic acid. For example, certain antisense compounds result in RNase H mediated cleavage of the target nucleic acid. RNase H is a cellular endonuclease that cleaves the RNA strand of an RNA:DNA duplex. The DNA in such an RNA:DNA duplex need not be unmodified DNA. In certain embodiments, described herein are antisense compounds that are sufficiently “DNA-like” to elicit RNase H activity. In certain embodiments, one or more non-DNA-like nucleoside in the gap of a gapmer is tolerated. In certain antisense activities, an antisense compound or a portion of an antisense compound is loaded into an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), ultimately resulting in cleavage of the target nucleic acid. For example, certain antisense compounds result in cleavage of the target nucleic acid by Argonaute. Antisense compounds that are loaded into RISC are RNAi agents. RNAi agents may be double-stranded (siRNA or dsRNAi) or single-stranded (ssRNAi). In certain embodiments, hybridization of an antisense compound to a target nucleic acid does not result in recruitment of a protein that cleaves that target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, hybridization of the antisense compound to the target nucleic acid results in alteration of splicing of the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, hybridization of an antisense compound to a target nucleic acid results in inhibition of a binding interaction between the target nucleic acid and a protein or other nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, hybridization of an antisense compound to a target nucleic acid results in alteration of translation of the target nucleic acid. Antisense activities may be observed directly or indirectly. In certain embodiments, observation or detection of an antisense activity involves observation or detection of a change in an amount of a target nucleic acid or protein encoded by such target nucleic acid, a change in the ratio of splice variants of a nucleic acid or protein and / or a phenotypic change in a cell or subject. VIII. Certain Target Nucleic Acids In certain embodiments, oligomeric compounds described herein comprise or consists of an oligonucleotide comprising a region that is complementary to a target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is an endogenous RNA molecule. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid encodes a protein. In certain such embodiments, the target nucleic acid is selected from: a mature mRNA and a pre-mRNA, including intronic, exonic and untranslated regions. In certain embodiments, the target RNA is a mature mRNA. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is a pre-mRNA. In certain embodiments, the target region is entirely within an intron. In certain embodiments, the target region spans an intron / exon junction. In certain embodiments, the target region is at least 50% within an intron. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is the RNA transcriptional product of a retrogene. In certain embodiments, the target nucleic acid is a non-coding RNA. In certain embodiments, the target non-coding RNA is selected from: a long non-coding RNA, a short non-coding RNA, an intronic RNA molecule. A. Complementarity / Mismatches to the Target Nucleic Acid In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides are complementary to the target nucleic acid over the entire length of the oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides are 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% complementary to the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides are at least 80% complementary to the target nucleic acid over the entire length of the oligonucleotide and comprise a region that is 100% or fully complementary to a target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, the region of full complementarity is from 6 to 20, 10 to 18, or 18 to 20 nucleobases in length. It is possible to introduce mismatch bases without eliminating activity. For example, Gautschi et al (J. Natl. Cancer Inst.93:463-471, March 2001) demonstrated the ability of an oligonucleotide having 100% complementarity to the bcl-2 mRNA and having 3 mismatches to the bcl-xL mRNA to reduce the expression of both bcl-2 and bcl-xL in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, this oligonucleotide demonstrated potent anti- tumor activity in vivo. Maher and Dolnick (Nuc. Acid. Res.16:3341-3358, 1988) tested a series of tandem 14 nucleobase oligonucleotides, and 28 and 42 nucleobase oligonucleotides comprised of the sequence of two or three of the tandem oligonucleotides, respectively, for their ability to arrest translation of human DHFR in a rabbit reticulocyte assay. Each of the three 14 nucleobase oligonucleotides alone was able to inhibit translation, albeit at a more modest level than the 28 or 42 nucleobase oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, oligonucleotides comprise one or more mismatched nucleobases relative to the target nucleic acid. In certain embodiments, antisense activity against the target is reduced by such mismatch, but activity against a non-target is reduced by a greater amount. Thus, in certain embodiments selectivity of the oligonucleotide is improved. In certain embodiments, a mismatch is specifically positioned within an oligonucleotide having a gapmer motif. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 from the 5’-end of the gap region. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 from the 3’-end of the gap region (with position 1 at the 3’-end of the gap region). In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, or 4 from the 5’-end of the 5’ wing region. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 4, 3, 2, or 1 from the 3’-end of the 5’ wing region (with position 1 at the 3’-end of the 5’ wing region). In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 1, 2, 3, or 4 from the 5’-end of the 3’ wing region. In certain embodiments, the mismatch is at position 4, 3, 2, or 1 from the 3’-end of the 3’ wing region (with position 1 at the 3’ terminus of the oligonucleotide). B.
