Description

ULK COMPLEX MODULATORS AND USES THEREOFCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims priority to United States Provisional Application No.63 / 605,373, filed December 1, 2023, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND

[0002] ULK complexes (e.g. ULK1 and ULK2) are important parts of the autophagy pathway. Wong, et al. Autophagy, 9(2): 124-137 (Feb. 1, 2013). The autophagy pathway utilizes lysosomal activity to degrade large objects such as molecular aggregates, organelles, and intracellular pathogens. The autophagy process degrades these materials by forming a membrane structure called the “phagophore,” which encapsulates a target of interest and seals into a double-membrane structure called the “autophagosome”. The autophagosome fuses with lysosomes, resulting in degradation of the encapsulated materials and release of metabolic byproducts such as amino acids.SUMMARY

[0003] The therapeutic potential of harnessing cellular degradation systems to direct removal of specific targets has been well appreciated and extensively investigated for more than a decade. See, for example, Bondeson & Crews Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol 57:107-123 (Sept. 6, 2017), and references cited therein. Particular focus has been on development of heterobifunctional small molecule agents that recruit an E3 ligase (e.g., the cereblon protein) to a target of interest. Such recruitment leads to ubiquitination of the target, to promote its degradation via the proteosome.

[0004] The present disclosure provides alternative strategies to achieve targeted degradation. Among other things, the present disclosure provides an insight that recruitment of a ULK initiation complex can be used to induce selective autophagy, a process by which the degradative mechanism is targeted to specific substrates.

[0005] ULK initiation complexes include ULK1 and ULK2, where a ULK initiation complex comprises FIP200, ATG13, and ATG101. These complexes are important parts of the autophagy pathway. Wong, et al. Autophagy, 9(2): 124-137 (Feb. 1, 2013); Turco, etal.,Mol. Cell, 74(2):330- 346. e6 (2019); Hurley J H, et al. Annu Rev Biochem. 2017 Jun 20;86:225-244. Initiation of theautophagy pathway via the ULK initiation complex includes: 1) recognition of cargo (i.e., the target to be degraded), typically by adapter proteins that bind to the target cargo (e.g., to modifications, such as ubiquitin or beta-galactoside, on the cargo); and 2) recruitment of a ULK initiation complex by the cargo adapter proteins. Recruitment of the ULK initiation complex is believed to be driven by the interaction of the FIP200 protein with cargo adapter proteins, such as p62 (also known as SQSTM1) which binds to ubiquitinated cargo, or NDP52 (i.e., Nuclear domain 10 protein 52; also known as Calcium Binding and Coiled-Coil Domain 2, or CALCOCO2) which binds to cytosolically exposed beta-galactoside via galectin-8. See, for example, Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330-346.e6 (2019); Ravenhill, et al, Mol. Cell, 74(2): 320-329.e6; Turco, et al., J Mol Biol, 432(1): 123-134 (2020); Johansen & Lamark J Mol Bio 432(1):80-103 (Jan.3, 2020).

[0006] Without being bound by theory, the present disclosure proposes that promoting recruitment and / or assembly of the ULK initiation complex (e.g., a ULK1 initiation complex) represents a particularly useful and / or effective strategy for achieving selective removal of cellular components via the autophagy pathway.

[0007] Recent studies have explored interactions involved in selective autophagy mechanisms by, for example, in vitro binding studies and / or genetic modification (e.g., knock out and / or mutagenesis of interacting components). See, for example, Ravenhill, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):320- 329.e6 (2018); Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330-346.e6 (2019); Vargas, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):347-326.e6 (2019). Moreover, one report has described artificially linking a peptide derived from ATG16L to a protein (FKBP) or mitochondrial cargo can trigger autophagic degradation of the cargo. See Vargas, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):347-326.e6 (2019).

[0008] The present disclosure surprisingly demonstrates that small molecule agents can be developed that target the ULK initiation complex and can be used to recruit the complex to cargo, and / or to initiate its assembly thereon. The present disclosure provides ULK initiation complex binding moieties, compounds that comprise them, and various compositions and / or methods relating thereto, including using them to induce targeted autophagy of particular cargo.

[0285] In some embodiments, a compound of Formula II is selected from Table B-1:Table B-1

[0286] In some embodiments, a compound of Formula II is selected from Table B-2:Table B-2Uses, Formulation, and AdministrationPharmaceutically Acceptable Compositions

[0287] According to another embodiment, the present disclosure provides a composition comprising a compound described herein or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. In certain embodiments, the amount of compound in compositions described herein is such that it is effective to measurably induce degradation of a target in a biological sample or in a patient. In certain embodiments, a composition described herein is formulated for administration to a patient in need of such composition. In some embodiments, a composition described herein is formulated for oral administration to a patient.

[0288] Compounds and compositions, according to method of the present disclosure, are administered using any amount and any route of administration effective for treating or lessening the severity of a disorder provided herein. The exact amount required will vary from subject tosubject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. Compounds described herein are preferably formulated in unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage.

[0289] Compositions of the present disclosure may be administered orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, intraperitoneally, intraci st emally or via an implanted reservoir. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered orally, intraperitoneally or intravenously.

[0290] Sterile injectable forms of the compositions described herein may be aqueous or oleaginous suspension. These suspensions may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in anon-toxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium.

[0291] For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant, such as carboxymethyl cellulose or similar dispersing agents that are commonly used in the formulation of pharmaceutically acceptable dosage forms including emulsions and suspensions. Other commonly used surfactants, such as Tweens, Spans and other emulsifying agents or bioavailability enhancers which are commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms may also be used for the purposes of formulation.

[0292] Injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by fdtration through a bacterial- retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium prior to use.

[0293] In order to prolong the effect of a compound of the present disclosure, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the compound from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poorwater solubility. The rate of absorption of the compound then depends upon its rate of dissolution that, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered compound form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the compound in an oil vehicle. Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the compound in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of compound to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of compound release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the compound in liposomes or microemulsions that are compatible with body tissues.

[0294] In some embodiments, provided pharmaceutically acceptable compositions are formulated for oral administration. Such formulations may be administered with or without food. In some embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein are administered without food. In other embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein are administered with food. Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein may be orally administered in any orally acceptable dosage form including, but not limited to, capsules, tablets, aqueous suspensions or solutions. In the case of tablets for oral use, carriers commonly used include lactose and corn starch. Lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, are also typically added. For oral administration in a capsule form, useful diluents include lactose and dried cornstarch. When aqueous suspensions are required for oral use, the active ingredient is combined with emulsifying and suspending agents. If desired, certain sweetening, flavoring or coloring agents may also be added.

[0295] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and / or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and / or i) lubricants suchas talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents.

[0296] Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polyethylene glycols and the like. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard-filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

[0297] The active compounds can also be in micro-encapsulated form with one or more excipients as noted above. The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings, release controlling coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. In such solid dosage forms the active compound may be admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as is normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., tableting lubricants and other tableting aids such a magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0298] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include, but are not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, microemulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups and elixirs. In addition to the active compounds, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol,benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethylformamide, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof. Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

[0299] Alternatively, pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein may be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration. These can be prepared by mixing the agent with a suitable non-irritating excipient that is solid at room temperature but liquid at rectal temperature and therefore will melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials include cocoa butter, beeswax and polyethylene glycols.

[0300] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

[0301] Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein may also be administered topically, especially when the target of treatment includes areas or organs readily accessible by topical application, including diseases of the eye, the skin, or the lower intestinal tract. Suitable topical formulations are readily prepared for each of these areas or organs.

[0302] Topical application for the lower intestinal tract can be effected in a rectal suppository formulation (see above) or in a suitable enema formulation. Topically-transdermal patches may also be used.

[0303] For topical applications, provided pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in a suitable ointment containing the active component suspended or dissolved in one or more carriers. Carriers for topical administration of compounds described herein include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene compound, emulsifying wax and water. Alternatively, provided pharmaceutically acceptable compositions can be formulated in a suitable lotion or cream containing the active components suspended or dissolved in one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Suitable carriers include, but are not limited to, mineral oil, sorbitanmonostearate, polysorbate 60, cetyl esters wax, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol and water.

[0304] For ophthalmic use, provided pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated as micronized suspensions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, or, preferably, as solutions in isotonic, pH adjusted sterile saline, either with or without a preservative such as benzylalkonium chloride. Alternatively, for ophthalmic uses, the pharmaceutically acceptable compositions may be formulated in an ointment such as petrolatum.

[0305] Pharmaceutically acceptable compositions described herein may also be administered by nasal aerosol or inhalation. Such compositions are prepared according to techniques well-known in the art of pharmaceutical formulation and may be prepared as solutions in saline, employing benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, fluorocarbons, and / or other conventional solubilizing or dispersing agents.

[0306] Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound disclosed herein include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants or patches. The active component is admixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and any needed preservatives or buffers as may be required.

[0307] Cellular degradation of large objects such as molecular aggregates, organelles, and intracellular pathogens is accomplished by the autophagy pathway. In this process, the autophagy machinery initiates and grows a double membrane phagophore around a cargo of interest. The double membrane phagophore ultimately fuses with itself to encapsulate the cargo in a double membrane autophagosome. Nakatogawa, Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biology, 21 :439-458 (2020). Theautophagosome membrane, which has encompassed the cargo then fuses with a lysosome to degrade the inner membrane and cargo contents, resulting in degradation of the encapsulated materials and release of metabolic byproducts such as amino acids. See Rabinowitz and White, Science, 330(6009):1344-1348 (2010).

[0308] The present disclosure provides an insight that recruitment of a ULK initiation complex (e.g., a ULK1 initiation complex and / or a ULK2 initiation complex) can be used to induce selective autophagy, a process by which the degradative mechanism is targeted to specific substrates. Initiation of the autophagy pathway via a ULK initiation complex includes: 1) recognition of cargo (i.e., the target to be degraded), typically by adapter proteins that bind to the target cargo (e.g., to modifications, such as ubiquitin or beta galactoside, on the cargo) and, 2) recruitment of a ULK initiation complex by the cargo adapter proteins. Recruitment of a ULK initiation complex is believed to be driven by the interaction of the FIP200 protein with cargo adapter proteins, such as p62 (also known as SQSTM1) which binds to ubiquitinated cargo, or NDP52 (i.e., Nuclear domain 10 protein 52; also known as Calcium Binding and Coiled-Coil Domain 2, or CALCOCO2) which binds to cytosolically exposed beta-galactoside via galectin-8. See, for example, Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330-346.e6 (2019); Ravenhill, et al, Mol. Cell, 74(2): 320-329.e6; Turco, et al., J Mol Biol, 432(1): 123-134 (2020); Johansen & Lamark J Mol Bio 432(1):80-103 (Jan.3, 2020).

[0309] Without being bound by theory, the present disclosure proposes that promoting recruitment and / or assembly of a ULK initiation complex (e.g., a ULK1 initiation complex and / or a ULK2 initiation complex) represents a particularly useful and / or effective strategy for achieving selective removal of cellular components via the autophagy pathway.

[0310] The ULK initiation complexes include ULK1 and ULK2. ULK initiation complexes comprise FIP200, ATG13, and ATG101, and are an important part of the autophagy pathway. Wong, et al. Autophagy, 9(2):124-137 (Feb.1, 2013); Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330-346.e6 (2019); Hurley JH, et al. Annu Rev Biochem. 2017 Jun 20;86:225-244. Recruitment a ULK initiation complex is driven by the interaction of the FIP200 protein with cargo adapter proteins, such as p62, that localize to the ubiquitinated cargo. This process of recognizing substrates for degradation and recruiting a ULK initiation complex is central to triggering the selective removal of cellular components via the autophagy pathway.

[0311] Recent studies have explored interactions involved in selective autophagy mechanisms by, for example, in vitro binding studies and / or genetic modification (e.g., knock out and / ormutagenesis of interacting components). See, for example, Ravenhill, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):320- 329.e6 (2018); Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330-346.e6 (2019); Vargas, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):347-326.e6 (2019). Moreover, one report has described artificially linking a peptide derived from ATG16L to a protein (FKBP) or mitochondrial cargo can trigger autophagic degradataion of the cargo. Vargas, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):347-326.e6 (2019); Turco, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):330- 346.e6 (2019); Ravenhill, et al., Mol. Cell, 74(2):320-329.e6 (2018).
