OXYTOCIN PEPTIDE ANALOGSCROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0000] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 566,711, filed March 18, 2024, the disclosures of which, is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND
[0001] Oxytocin (OT) is a nine-residue, cyclized peptide which, through the oxytocin receptor (OTR), acts as both a hormone, regulating diverse processes such as glucose metabolism, social bonding, lactation, and uterine contraction, as well as a neurotransmitter, modulating neural processes, including pain. Inadequate OTR activity is linked with postpartum hemorrhage, inadequate milk production, autism spectrum disorder, Prader-Willi syndrome, and migraine headaches (see Kabasakalian, A., et al., “Oxytocin and Prader-Willi Syndrome. Curr. Top. Behav.” Neurosci. 2018, 35, 529-557; Klimek, R. et al., “Further studies on the oxytocin-oxytocinase system.” Am. J. Obs. Gynecol. 1969, 105, 427-430; Aita, C., et al., “Oxytocin levels and sex differences in autism spectrum disorder with severe intellectual disabilities.” Psychiatry Res. 2019, 273, 67-74; Bharadwaj, V.N.et al., “A new hypothesis linking oxytocin to menstrual migraine.” Headache 2021, 61, 1051-1059).Studies in both animal models and patients have demonstrated that intranasal administration of OT can relieve core symptoms in ASD, schizophrenia, migraine, and anxiety disorders (see Yamasue, H., et al. “Effect of intranasal oxytocin on the core social symptoms of autism spectrum disorder: A randomized clinical trial.” Mol. Psychiatry 2020, 25, 1849-1858; Tzabazis, A.; et al., “Oxytocin and Migraine Headache.” Headache 2017, 57 (Suppl. 2), 64- 75; Gottschalk, M.G.; Domschke, K., Oxytocin and Anxiety Disorders.” Curr. Top. Behav. Neurosci. 2018, 35, 467-498).
[0002] In particular use of oxytocin peptides in treatment of pain, such as headache pain, has been demonstrated. See WO 2007 / 025249 and WO 2007 / 025286, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference. For example, OT has been shown to reduce pain, in particular chronic pain, associated with the trigeminal nerve, such as trigeminal neuralgia and migraine headache. And, human clinical trials have demonstrated efficacy of intranasal oxytocin in treating migraine headache. Similarly, OT has been shown to improve the coresymptoms of autism, in particular, social and communication deficits and associated anxiety symptoms. And, human clinical trials, have demonstrated efficacy of intranasal oxytocin in treating autism spectrum disorder, related disorders and symptoms of such disorders (see, e.g., Yatawara et al., Mol. Psychiatry 2015, 1-9; Gorka et al., Neuropsychopharmacology 2015, 40(2):278-286; Anagnostou et al., Mol. Autism 2012, 3(1): 16; Guastella et al., Psychoneuroendocrinology 2009, 34(6):917-923. However, these trials have shown wide variability in the response that subjects with autism spectrum disorder and related disorders have to treatment with OT.
[0003] Several factors have been found to alter OTR activity including OT levels, OTR expression, and OTR affinity for its ligand. OTR affinity has also been shown to be closely modulated by the local concentration of the magnesium cation (Mg2+), which acts as an essential cofactor, affecting the affinity of OT for OTR. For OT, Mg2+dependency and craniofacial anti -nociception (pain) Mg2+dependency increases with increasing OT concentration. In craniofacial anti -nociception, this increase in Mg2+dependency with ligand (OT) dose results in an upside-down U-shaped dose response curve at low Mg2+concentrations. See Bharadwaj, Yeomans et al., “Impact of Magnesium on Oxytocin Receptor Function,” Pharmaceutics 2022, 14, 1105. This upside-down U-shaped dose response curve has also been observed in rat studies for reversal of opiate-induced respiratory depression and in clinical studies on autism (see Yamasue, et al., “Effect of a novel nasal oxytocin spray with enhanced bioavailability on autism— a randomized trial,” Brain 2022, 145(2), pp. 1-10). Magnesium cation’s effect on OT activity has also been demonstrated in in vivo rat studies, specifically when measuring the head withdrawal response latencies for A- delta and C-fiber radiant heat stimulation of the cheek. (See Bharadwaj, et al.,).
[0004] This disclosure addresses the modulation of OT activity by local concentrations of Mg2+. In that context, this disclosure provides oxytocin analogs capable of providing a pronounced OT effect independent of the concentration of Mg2+and avoiding the complexities of dose determinations for two components (ligand (OT) and Mg2+) that have distinct pharmacokinetic and biodistribution behavior. These analogs are useful themselves and in pharmaceutical compositions or medicaments for the treatment of various medical conditions associated with inadequate OTR activity.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0005] This disclosure provides oxytocin peptide analogs capable of binding to the oxytocin receptor with an affinity similar to or better than OT itself but with that affinitybeing independent of the local concentrations of Mg2+. In certain embodiments, such analogs and compositions containing them are useful as therapeutic agents for the treatment of various medical conditions associated with inadequate OTR activity, such as headache pain, autism disorder related symptoms, insulin resistance disorders and feeding disorders, in patients in need thereof. In particular, in certain embodiments, such analogs and compositions containing them, are useful in those therapeutic methods in that they reduce the Mg+2dependence on the binding affinity of naturally-occurring OT and other analogs thereof for the OTR, e.g., the impact of magnesium ions (Mg+2) concentration on the oxytocinoxytocin receptor binding efficacy.

For example, in some embodiments, the oxytocin peptide analogs of this disclosure can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, e.g., E (entgegen) and Z (zusammen) isomers of a double bond or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or a desired isomer can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p. 268 (E. L. Eliel, Ed., Univ, of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, Ind. 1972). In some embodiments, the disclosure additionally encompasses the analogs, forms and salts, described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, i.e., containing less that about 10%, less than about 5%, less than about 1%, less than about 0.5%, less than about 0.1 %, of the other enantiomer, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.
[0029] The oxytocin peptide analogs, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, of this disclosure in various of its embodiments may also comprise one or more isotopic substitutions. For example, H may be in any isotopic form, including1H,2H (D or deuterium), and3H (T or tritium); C may be in any isotopic form, including12C,13C, and14C; O may be in any isotopic form, including16O and18O; and the like.
[0030] An “international unit” (IU, UI or IE) is an internationally accepted unit of activity used to quantify vitamins, hormones and vaccines. It defines the amount of a substance that gives a unit of activity as determined using a defined biological assay in order to standardize preparations from multiple source materials. Similarly, a USP unit is a defined dosage unit established by the United States Pharmacopeia in cooperation with the Food and Drug Administration in order to ensure the identity, strength, quality, purity and consistency of a drug product. In general, USP units are equal to International Units, due to harmonization efforts. By convention, for oxytocin, 1 unit of activity is generally defined as equal to approximately 2 micrograms of a synthetic naturally-occurring oxytocin peptide; or 1 mg is equal to 500 units (Stedman’s Medical Dictionary). Therefore, as used herein, one “IU’ or “International Unit” of an oxytocin peptide or analog thereof is the amount of the oxytocin peptide or analog that has the same biological activity or produces the same level of a biological effect (e.g. contractile response of rat uterine strips) as approximately 2 micrograms of the synthetic oxytocin peptide. An analogue with weaker activity would require more material to achieve the same level of biological effect. Determinations of drug potency are well known to those skilled in the art and may include either in vitro or in vivo assays using human oxytocin as a reference. Atke and Vilhardt Acta Endocrinol. 1987: 115(1): 155-60; Engstrom et al. Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1998: 355(2-3):203-10.
[0031] When a range of values is listed, it is intended to encompass each value and subrange within the range. For example, if a range of 1 pg to 8 pg is stated, it is intended that 1 pg, 2 pg, 3 pg, 4 pg, 5 pg, 6 pg, 7 pg, and 8 pg are also explicitly disclosed, as well as the range of values in between (e.g., 1.1 pg, 1.2 pg, 1.3 pg, 1.4 pg, 1.5 pg, 1.6 pg, 1.7 pg, etc.). If a range of 10-14% is stated, it is intended that 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, and 14% are also explicitly disclosed.
[0032] “Geometric isomer” refers to isomers that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms (constitution), but differ in the relative orientation of functional groups within the molecule, for example, wherein one geometric isomer could theoretically be converted to another geometric isomer by rotation of one or more bonds which do notfreely rotate in practice (e.g., double bonds). The IUP AC-endorsed convention of designating E (entgegen) and Z (zusammen) geometric isomers with respect to individual double bonds is well known in the art.
[0033] “’Tautomers” refers to compounds whose structures differ markedly in the arrangement of atoms, but which exist in easy and rapid equilibrium. It is to be understood that compounds of present disclosure may be depicted as different tautomers. It should also be understood that when compounds have tautomeric forms, all tautomeric forms are intended to be within the scope of the disclosure, and the naming of the compounds does not exclude any tautomer form. Some compounds of the present disclosure can exist in a tautomeric form which is also intended to be encompassed within the scope of the present di sclosure.

Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not limited to, alleviation, amelioration, or slowing the progression, of one or more symptoms or conditions associated with a condition.
[0042] ’’Analgesia agent,” “analgesic agent,” or “analgesic” refers to any biomolecule, drug or active agent that alleviates or prevents pain.
[0043] “Nociception” refers to a neuronal signal or perception that denotes the induced pain or injury caused by noxious stimuli, such as pin-pricks or inflammation, exceeding a certain threshold stimulus level in nociceptive nerve fibers (nociceptors), which innervate the skin or other peripheral tissue. Pain is also experienced when peripheral or central neuronal structures involved in the processing of pain become hyperactive, e.g. as a result of trauma, ischemia or inflammation. Oxytocin has been shown to reduce pain (antinociceptive), in particular chronic pain, associated with the trigeminal nerve, such as trigeminal neuralgia and migraine headache.
[0044] ’’Headache disorder” includes a migraine, tension headache, cluster headache, trigeminal neuralgia, secondary headache, and miscellaneous-type headaches.
[0045] ’’Migraine” includes migraine headache, migraine without aura, migraine with aura, and migraine with aura but without headache.

[0047] ’’Insulin resistance disorder” refers to a phenomenon wherein, even though insulin is normally secreted in the body, “supply of glucose into cells” performed by insulin does not work properly. Therefore, glucose in the blood cannot enter cells, thus causing hyperglycemia, and further, cells themselves cannot perform normal functions thereof due to a shortage of glucose, leading to the manifestation of metabolic syndrome.
[0048] “Administering” or “administration” of a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject can be carried out using one of a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, a compound or an agent can be administered, intravenously, arterially,intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, ocularly, sublingually, orally (by ingestion), intranasally (by inhalation), intraspinally, intracerebrally, and transdermally (by absorption, e.g., through a skin duct). A compound or agent can also appropriately be introduced by rechargeable or biodegradable polymeric devices or other devices, e.g., patches and pumps, or formulations, which provide for the extended, slow or controlled release of the compound or agent. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and / or over one or more extended periods. In some aspects, the administration includes both direct administration, including self-administration, and indirect administration, including the act of prescribing a drug. For example, as used herein, a physician who instructs a patient to self-administer a drug, or to have the drug administered by another and / or who provides a patient with a prescription for a drug is administering the drug to the patient. When a method is part of a therapeutic regimen involving more than one agent or treatment modality, the disclosure contemplates that the agents may be administered at the same or differing times and via the same or differing routes of administration. Appropriate methods of administering a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject will also depend, for example, on the age of the subject, whether the subject is active or inactive at the time of administering, whether the subject is cognitively impaired at the time of administering, the extent of the impairment, and the chemical and biological properties of the compound or agent (e.g. solubility, digestibility, bioavailability, stability and toxicity).

Membrane penetration-enhancing agents in Group (G) may be (i) a surfactant, (ii) a bile salt, (iii) a phospholipid or fatty acid additive, mixed micelle,liposome, or carrier, (iv) an alcohol, (v) an enamine, (iv) an NO donor compound, (vii) a long-chain amphipathic molecule, (viii) a small hydrophobic penetration enhancer; (ix) sodium or a salicylic acid derivative; (x) a glycerol ester of acetoacetic acid, (xi) a cyclodextrin or beta-cyclodextrin derivative, (xii) a medium-chain fatty acid, (xiii) a chelating agent, (xiv) an amino acid or salt thereof, (xv) an N-acetylamino acid or salt thereof, (xvi) an enzyme degradative to a selected membrane component, (xvii) an inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis, (xviii) an inhibitor of cholesterol synthesis; or (xiv) any combination of the membrane penetration enhancing agents of (i)-(xviii). In various embodiments of this disclosure, an oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may be combined with one, two, three, four or more of the mucosal delivery-enhancing agents recited in (A)- (K). These mucosal delivery-enhancing agents, in some embodiments are admixed, alone or together with the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, solvate of any of them, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them, or otherwise combined therewith in a pharmaceutically acceptable formulation or delivery vehicle. The formulations or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this disclosure in some embodiments provide increased bioavailability of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate of solvate of any of them, following delivery thereof to a mucosal surface (e.g., in the nasal cavities) of a mammalian subject.
[0084] Mucosal absorption enhancing compounds may also be included in the formulations or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this disclosure. Useful absorption compounds include, but are not limited to, gelling systems, surfactants, bile salts, dihydrofusidates, bioadhesive / mucoadhesive agents, phospholipid additives, mixed micelles, liposomes, or carriers, alcohols, enamines, cationic polymers, NO donor compounds, long- chain amphipathic molecules, small hydrophobic penetration enhancers; sodium or a salicylic acid derivatives, glycerol esters of acetoacetic acid, cyclodextrin or beta-cyclodextrin derivatives, medium-chain fatty acids, chelating agents, amino acids or salts thereof, N- acetylamino acids or salts thereof, mucolytic agents, enzymes specifically targeted to a selected membrane component, inhibitors of fatty acid synthesis and inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis.
[0085] Gelling systems useful in the formulations and compositions of this disclosures may include any known gelling system, such as a chemically reactive pectin-based gelling system(e.g., PecSys™, Archimedes Pharma) and a thermoreactive polymer gelling system (e.g., Pluronic® F127, BASF). PecSys™ is a low viscosity aqueous pectin-based solution, delivered as a fine mist in which each droplet gels on contact with calcium ions in the nasal mucosa. Other low methoxy pectin could also be employed, e.g., at about 1% concentration. Pluronic® Fl 27 contains ethylene oxide / propylene oxide block copolymers. The gelling temperatures vary depending on the ratios of components and the amount of co-polymer employed in the final formulation. Gelling in the human nasal cavity has been demonstrated for Pluronic® F127 at approximately 18-20 % wt / vol, for examples, as used in a vitamin B 12 gel supplement (EnerB, Nature’s Bounty, NY) and in a gelling sumatriptan, which contains 18% wt / vol Pluronic® F127 and 0.3% wt / vol Carbopol (anionic bioadhesive polymer C934P). The monomer ratios and concentrations may be adjusted for the intended oxytocin peptide analog or Compound B formulations to ensure gelling at 25-37 °C, around the typical temperature of 34 °C in nasal cavity. If the gelation temperature is lower than 25 °C, the formulation could gel at room temperature; if the gelation temperature is above 37 °C, the formulation would not fully gel on contact with the nasal mucosa. Addition of a mucoadhesive, e.g., addition of up to 0.5 % Carbopol, may further lower the gelation temperature. In some embodiments, the formulations or compositions of this disclosure further comprise one or more gelling agents, such that the formulation or composition forms a gel in the nasal cavity, thus enhancing nasal absorption of the oxytocin peptide. In some embodiments, the formulations or compositions of this disclosure further comprise a mucoadhesive agent such as Carbopol.
[0086] In some embodiments, thiolated chitosans e.g., chitosan covalently modified with 2-iminothiolane) are used as mucosal absorption enhancing excipient in the formulations or compositions of this disclosure. In some embodiments, chitosan co-polymer nanoparticles may be used, such as nanoparticles containing chitosan glutamate and a negatively charged polymer (e.g., tripolyphosphate pentasodium). In some embodiments, the formulations or compositions of this disclosure further comprise about 1% of the chitosan-containing excipient. In some embodiments, the formulations or compositions of this disclosure further comprise a chitosan-containing excipient such as ChiSys®, http: / / www.archimedespharma.com / productArchiDevChiSys.html.
[0087] The lists of carriers and additives discussed herein are not limiting and a worker skilled in the art can choose carriers and excipients from the GRAS (generally regarded as safe) list of chemicals used in pharmaceutical preparations and those that are currentlyallowed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in topical and parenteral formulations, and those that become allowed in the future.

[0088] In some embodiments, the oxytocin peptide analogs of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomers, racemates, tautomers, hydrates, or solvates of any of them, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, and the formulations and compositions of this disclosure are adapted for intranasal administration. In some embodiments, the formulation or pharmaceutically acceptable composition is adapted for intranasal administration and further comprises a device for intranasal administration, such as a dropper, pump spray, squeeze bottle, airless and preservative-free sprays, or a nasal pump apparatus, e.g., a nasal pump apparatus comprising a reservoir bottle attached to an aerosolizer. In some embodiments the device is prepackaged with the analog, Compound B, enantiomers, racemates, tautomers, hydrates, solvates or salts of any of them, composition or formulation. In some embodiments, the subject or health care provider adds the analog, Compound B, enantiomers, racemates, tautomers, hydrates, solvates or salts of any of them, formulation or composition to the device.
[0089] In some embodiments the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, or solvate of any of them or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them, and their formulations and compositions are administered intranasally, and in some embodiments the formulation or composition is prepared as a liquid aerosol formulation combined with a dispersing agent and / or a physiologically acceptable diluent. Alternatively, dry powder aerosol formulations or compositions may be used, and may contain a finely divided solid form of an oxytocin peptide analog, Compound B, enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, of this disclosure and a dispersing agent allowing for the ready dispersal of the dry powder particles. With either liquid or dry powder aerosol formulations, in some embodiments the formulation is aerosolized into small, liquid or solid particles in order to ensure that the aerosolized dose reaches the mucous membranes of the nasal passages or the lung. The term “aerosol particle” is used herein to describe a liquid or solid particle suitable of a sufficiently small particle diameter for nasal (in a range of from about 10 microns) distribution to targeted mucous or alveolar membranes. Other considerations include the construction of the delivery device, additional components in theformulation, and particle characteristics. These aspects of nasal administration of drugs are well known in the art, a manipulation of formulations, aerosolization means, and construction of delivery devices, is also well known to the ordinary skill in the art.
[0090] In some embodiments, the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, or solvate of any of them or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them, or the formulations or compositions of this disclosure are administered using a device for intranasal delivery. The device may be any device suitable for intranasal administration of any form of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, or the formulations or the compositions of this disclosure. In some embodiments, the device is suitable for delivery of the oxytocin peptide analog, of this disclosure, Compound B, an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, to specific region within the nasal cavity. In some embodiments, the device is suitable for delivery of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, to the inferior two-thirds of the nasal cavity. In some embodiments, the device is suitable for delivery of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them, to the upper third of the nasal cavity. In some embodiments, the device is suitable for delivery of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, of solvate, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of them to the entire nasal passage.
[0091] In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is a nasal pump apparatus. In some embodiments, the nasal pump apparatus comprises a reservoir bottle attached to a pump actuator. In some embodiments, the pump actuator is metered to deliver a specified volume (e.g., about 5 to about 1000 pL, about 50 to about 150 pL, about 50 pL, or about 100 pL) per spray or squirt into each nostril in a specified distribution of droplet sizes. In some embodiments, the nasal pump apparatus comprises a reservoir bottle attached to an aerosolizer, e.g., an Equadel® pump marketed by Aptar Pharma. In some embodiments, the device for intranasal administration functions irrespective of the pressure applied to the pump once a threshold value is reached. In some embodiments, the device for nasal administration is a mucosal atomization device (e.g., LMA® MAD NASAL™) that can be added to a syringe. For administration in large mammals, the nasal pump apparatus may comprise areservoir bottle attached to a pump actuator that is metered to deliver larger volumes (e.g., about 100 pL to about 600 pL, or higher).
[0092] In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is designed for delivery of multiple doses of the drug formulations. For example, a nasal pump apparatus may comprise a reservoir bottle attached to a pump actuator where the reservoir bottle holds multiple doses of the liquid formulation of one of the forms of the oxytocin peptide analogs of this disclosure and the pump actuator is metered to deliver a specified volume that is a fraction of the liquid formulation held in the reservoir bottle. In some embodiments, the pump actuator is metered to deliver about 50 pL of the liquid formulation per spray into each nostril. In some embodiments, the pump actuator is metered to deliver about 100 pL of the liquid formulation per spray into each nostril. In some embodiments, the pump actuator is metered to deliver about 200 pL of the liquid formulation per spray into each nostril. The nasal pump apparatus may comprise a filter for preventing back flow in order to reduce contaminant (e.g., bacterial) ingress into the reservoir bottle. In some embodiments, the nasal pump apparatus comprises a metal-free path for delivery of the liquid formulation (e.g., a plastic path). In some embodiments, the pump apparatus uses plastic material that is stable to gamma radiation (used for sterilizing the nasal apparatus). In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is equipped with a multi-dose pump comprising a microbial filter and an auto-blocking mechanism in the pump actuator, for example, a spray device described in US Patent No. 5,988,449, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0093] In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is a breath-actuated nasal delivery device, such as the devices described in US Patents No. 7,784,460 and 7,854,227. Such devices may improve delivery to a target site deep into the nasal cavity. In some embodiments, a standard metered dose spray device is incorporated into a housing that allows the patient to blow into a mouthpiece to actuate the device. In some embodiments, the device is comprised of a conical sealing nosepiece and a mouthpiece that incorporate a traditional mechanical spray pump (e.g., an Equadel® pump marketed by Aptar Pharma), a chargeable spring and a breath actuation mechanism. The system can be used for single or multi-dose delivery. One example of such a liquid delivery device is the OptiMist™ device. When in use, the nasal piece of the device is inserted into the nostril and the mouth piece is blown into. This closes the soft palate, transfers pressure to the nostril, opens passages providing airflow behind the nasal septum and allows air to exit the other nostril (bidirectional flow). Since thedevice is breath actuated, small particles cannot enter the lungs. Modifications to flow rate and particle size allows for targeting of specific nasal regions.
[0094] Drop size, plume volume and flow rate can be modified to target specific nasal regions. The liquid spray may provide droplet size between 5 and 50 microns in order to target olfactory and / or respiratory epithelium. Larger droplets primarily travel down the nasopharynx and are swallowed, while smaller droplets are targeted to the pulmonary tissue. The Mass Median Equivalent Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) is used to specify the drop size. In some embodiments, the pH of the nasal spray is adjusted to deliver charged peptide in mostly an unionized state. The nose will generally tolerate solutions having a pH of about 3-8. The nasal mucosa can generally absorb volumes of approximately 100 pL before saturation occurs and liquid begins to drip out of the nose. Therefore, plume volume may be up to (and including) 100 pL. For use in large mammals, plume volume may be up to (and including) 150 pL or higher (e.g., 600 pL or higher). For infant and pediatric use, or for veterinary use in smaller animals (e.g., rodents, cats), smaller plume volumes (5-50 pL) could be used. In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is a unit-dose metering spray device suited for single administration of the oxytocin peptide analog formulation. In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is a multi-dose metering spray pump apparatus suited for repeated administrations of an oxytocin peptide analog.
[0095] In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery is an ergonomically designed to facilitate patient compliance, such as a pump apparatus with a side-actuation triggering mechanism. In some embodiments, the device for intranasal delivery comprises a metering spray pump working as a closed system, which does not allow air to enter into the pump apparatus thus preventing contamination from airborne germs. In some embodiment, the device for intranasal delivery comprises a metering spray pump working with a filter. The venting air is sucked through a filter assembled inside the pump, keeping airborne germs out of the pump apparatus. In some embodiments, the intranasal delivery device comprising a nasal pump apparatus may further comprise micro-electronic devices that may facilitate data transmission and treatment monitoring.
[0096] In some embodiments, the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, or solvate of any of them or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them, or the formulations or pharmaceutically acceptable compositions of this disclosure comprise an oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer, hydrate, or solvate of any ofthem, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them, contained in any one of the devices for intranasal delivery described herein, and wherein the concentration of the oxytocin peptide analog of this disclosure, Compound B, or an enantiomer, racemate, tautomer of any of them or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of any of them , is within any of the concentration or dosage ranges described herein, as if each and every combination of device and concentration is described individually.Kits

DPBS was supplemented with 1 mM calcium chloride by adding 1 mL of high purity 1 M Calcium Chloride solution (Sigma 21115) per 1 L of DPBS dropwise with gentle shaking. DPBS was supplemented withmagnesium by adding 1.75 mM magnesium (41.7 mg of magnesium chloride (Sigma M4880) dissolved in 50 mL of DPBS. This procedure prepared a solution of magnesium at 8.75 mM). When mixed with compounds in DPBS without magnesium (12 pL of compound + 48 pL of 8.75 mM magnesium), concentration of magnesium was 7 mM. When further diluted in assay plate during treatment (10 pL added to 30 uL of DPBS), magnesium concentration was 1.75 mM).Treatment with 0.5 mM magnesium: diluted 10 mL of magnesium solution at 8.75 mM with 25 mL of DPBS without magnesium. (Note: This procedure prepared a solution of magnesium at 2.5 mM. When mixed with compounds in DPBS without magnesium (12 pL of compound + 48 pL of 2.5 mM magnesium), concentration of magnesium was 2 mM. When further diluted in assay plate during treatment (10 pL added to 30 pL of DPBS), magnesium concentration was 0.5 mM.) 100 pL / well of DPBS was loaded with different magnesium concentrations (0, 2.5 or 8.75 mM) in a 384-well compound plate according to plate map. Step C: Compound DilutionsCompounds in DMSO were diluted to 333.33 x the final desired concentration for testing.

[0156] Example 39 - Screening of efficacy and potency of oxytocin analogs using rat TG el ectrophy si ol ogy .Protocol: The experiments were done on trigeminal ganglia (TG) neurons prepared from male rats (350-430 g) injected with CFA (50 pl) into left TMJ. The recordings wereperformed on external solution with either 0.5 mM or 1.75 mM MgCh. Bath solution was composed of NaCl (130 mM), HEPES-Na (10), KC1 (5), CaCh (1) and Glucose (10), and pH was adjusted to 7.3-7.4 using HC1 and to the desired MgCh concentration. Osmolarity was adjusted to 299 mOsm / kg with sucrose. Electrode internal solution was composed of KF (120 mM), HEPES (10 mM), EGTA (11 mM), CaCh (1 mM), MgCh (1 mM), KC1 (10 mM), and KOH (11 mM), and pH was adjusted to 7.4 using KOH. Osmolarity was adjusted to 293 mOsm / kg with sucrose. Glass pipettes were filled with this intracellular saline with a resistance of 3-5MQ.Results: The clinically relevant concentration range for electrophysiology on TG is between 8 x 10'9M to 2.5 x 10'8M. At 1 x 10'8M, in the presence of 1.75 mM MgCh Compounds 20, 21, and 23 show similar potency, independent of MgCh concentration (Figures 1-4).
[0157] Example 40 - Analgesic Dose / Response of intranasal oxytocin analog Compound 20 in rat thermal craniofacial pain modelProtocol: Four concentrations of oxytocin analog in saline vehicle were combined with 0.5 and 1.75 mM MgCh. Each solution was coded blind to the experiment and the experiment was performed in strictly blinded manner including drug injection and data analysis. Rats were individually habituated in tip-less decapicone for 2 days, 5-10 minutes / rat prior to Day 0. On Day 0, male rat’s left cheek was depilated and was individually habituated in a tip-less decapicone for at least 15 minutes. On Day 1, baseline heat tolerance response was assessed and electrocutaneous stimulation was performed (ES, 1 hour stimulation with 0.4 mA current, 10 ms pulse at Is inter-pulse interval for each rat) x 12 rats / day. On Day 2 (24 hrs after stimulation), stimulation response was assessed by heat tolerance to make sure electrocutaneous stimulation was successful. Once validated that electrocutaneous stimulation was successful, nasal application of the coded drugs was performed. Thermal withdrawal latencies measured for the following post-IN dosing timepoints: 15, 45, 60, 120 min. Thermal thresholds were assessed using Thermal Testing Lamp, which was fixed ~ 5 cm above depilated left cheek of rat. Voltage regulator was set to 90 V for A-delta fiber testing. Cutoff was set at 6 seconds.Results:A-delta FiberCompound 20 had an analgesic effect in dose dependent manner for A-delta fiber. At high concentrations of Compound 20, the concentration on Mg2+(high or low) had no effect on the analgesic effect. At low concentrations of Compound 20, the concentration of Mg2+(high orlow) had a slight effect on the analgesic effect. Overall, Compound 20 (regardless of the Mg2+concentration) showed similar analgesic effect (See Table 2 and Figures 5 and 6). Table 2 - A-delta Fiber: Comparison of low and high MgCh concentrationsC FiberCompound 20 had an analgesic effect in dose dependent manner for C fiber. At a 4 pg dose of Compound 20, the concentration of Mg2+(high or low) had a slight effect on the analgesic effect. Overall, Compound 20 (regardless of the Mg2+concentration) showed similar analgesic effect (See Figure 7).
[0158] Example 41 - Magnesium Dependence of Hyperpolarization in Rat Ex- Vivo Trigeminal Ganglia ElectrophysiologyCompound 20 and oxytocin were tested using the protocol described by Bharadwaj, V.N. and Yeomans, D.C., et al., in “Impact of Magnesium on Oxytocin Receptor Function” Pharmaceutics 2022, 14, 1105.Sample PreparationOT and Compound 20 were dissolved in distilled water as 1 mM stock and diluted for external solutions. Different concentrations of OT and Compound 20 (0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, 300, and 1000 nM) were applied from the reservoir using gravity feeding through a 27G tip- blunted needle with an opening placed about 200 pm away from the recorded cell. The stream of solution covered the cell well when the switch was turned on. The cells were physically stable during perfusion.Induction of InflammationRats (male, 250-330 g, Envigo, n = 10) were placed in an anesthesia chamber and anesthetized with 2.5% isoflurane. Prior to TMJ injection, the rat’s mouths were propped open to palpate the target area. In this position, an oval-shaped groove located in the center of the cheek and above the mandible can be distinctly felt. With the syringe positioned at a 30- degree angle from the rat’s cheek, the tip of the needle was inserted just under the articular disc (approximately 1.5 mm in diameter and 1.0 mm deep). Thereafter, 50 pL of CFA(DIFCO; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was injected (1 mL syringe with a 25G 5 / 8- inch needle) into the left TMJ to produce robust and prolonged orofacial inflammation. After CFA injection, rats were returned to home cages. Approximately 24 h later, rats were euthanized by decapitation after induction of deep anesthesia with isoflurane.Tissue ProcessingThe rat’s TG were carefully dissected from the surrounding connective tissues and minced into small pieces with an iris scissor. The TG were digested in 0.5 mL of mixed enzyme solution: (w / v, final concentration) 0.1% trypsin (Sigma, T9201), 0.1% collagenase Sigma, C1764), and 0.01% DNase (Sigma, D5025) diluted in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium / Nutrient Mixture F-12 (DMEM / F12) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). The tissue pieces were then incubated at 32 °C with a water bath for 55 min. Following digestion, tissue fragments were mechanically dissociated using a series of glass Pasteur pipettes with decreasing internal diameter. Dissociated cells were centrifuged at 180 g for 3 min, the supernatant was removed, and the cells were gently re-suspended in an external recording solution. Cells were then plated onto poly-L-lysine (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) coated cover slips (Chemglass Life Sciences Vineland, NJ, USA. Current Clamp Recording Whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings were performed using the MultiClamp 700B amplifier (Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA, USA) and analyzed offline with pCLAMP10.4 software (Molecular Devices, San Jose CA, USA). The external solution was composed of (in mM) NaCl (130), N-2-Hydroxyethylpiperazine-N’-2-Ethanesulfonic Acid (HEPES)- Na (10), KC1 (5), CaCh (1), and Glucose (10), pH adjusted to 7.3-7.4 using HC1, with or without 1.75 mM MgCh. The electrode internal solution was composed of (in mM) KF (120), HEPES (10), ethylene glycol-bis(-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N’,N’ -tetraacetic acid (EGTA)(11), CaCh (1), MgCh (1), KC1 (10), and KOH (11), pH adjusted to 7.3-7.4 using KOH. Patch-pipettes were fabricated from 1.5 mm outside diameter (OD) borosilicate capillary glass (Warner Instruments, Hamden, CT, USA) using a micropipette puller (Model P-87, Sutter Instrument, Novato, CA, USA). NaCl, HEPES-Na, KC1, CaCh, Glucose, HC1, MgCh, KF, HEPES, EGTA, KOH were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO, USA). Glass pipettes filled this intracellular saline with a resistance of 3-5 MW. Whole-cell patch recordings had series resistances of <25 MW after whole-cell configuration and were periodically checked with the seal test voltage step (10 mV, 10 ms) to monitor series resistances throughout the recordings. Hyperpolarizing current pulses (about -0.3 nA, 500 ms) were delivered every5 s throughout the experiment, unless otherwise specified, in order to monitor membrane input resistance and stabilize membrane potential in control external solution.Measurement of change in membrane potential: After successful current clamp recording, the effect of the vehicle external solution application to cells on membrane potential was measured. After the membrane potential had stabilized for at least 10 s, a solution containing OT plus or minus 0.5 mM and 1.75 mM Mg2+or Compound 20 plus or minus 0.5 mM and 1.75 mM Mg2+was applied for 2-5 min until the membrane potential stabilized further (on a new level) for at least 10 s.For OT, the Mg2+dependency was calculated by subtracting hyperpolarization measured in mV for OT with 0.5 mM of Mg2+from the hyperpolarization measured in mV for OT with 1.75 mM of Mg2+. For Compound 20, the Mg2+dependency was calculated by subtracting hyperpolarization measured in mV for Compound 20 with 0.5 mM of Mg2+from the hyperpolarization measured in mV Compound 20 with 1.75 mM of Mg2+. Results show that difference in hyperpolarization in the presence of OT and Mg2+increased with OT concentration, showing dependency to Mg2+. However, no such increase in Mg2+dependency with Compound 20 concentration was observed for Compound 20 (see Figure 8)
[0159] Example 42 - Magnesium Dependence of Antinociception in the C-Fiber Test of Rat Craniofacial PainSample PreparationCompound 20 and oxytocin were tested using the protocol described by Bharadwaj, et al. The appropriate amount of test compound was accurately weighed out using a calibrated electrical balance and placed into microcentrifuge tubes. Solutions were prepared for an administration volume of 50 pL containing vehicle or one solution for one of five doses of OT (0.5, 1.0, 4.0, 8.0, or 32.0 pg) with or without 300 mM magnesium citrate. Solutions of Compound 20 were prepared for an administration volume of 50 pL containing vehicle or a solution for one of four doses (4.0, 10.0, 32.0, or 128 pg) with 0.5 mM or 1.75 mM Mg2+[]. Ten groups of 10 rats each were randomly assigned to receive a vehicle or one of the five doses of OT or OT plus 300 mM Mg2+, or the Compound 20 doses with either 0.5 or 1.75 mM Mg2+. Each solution was coded and the experiment was performed in a strictly blinded manner, including drug administration and data analysis.Withdrawal LatencyRats (male, 250-330 g, Envigo, n = 10 per group) were used and treated with CFA injection into the TMJ as described above in order to produce a robust inflammation of trigeminally innervated tissue. Approximately 24 h after CFA injection, withdrawal latencies in response to noxious heat applied to the depilated (NAIR® hair removal cream; Church & Dwight Co., Ewing, NJ, USA) and blackened (with India ink (Chartpak Inc., Leeds, MA, USA)) cheek were determined. Latency to withdrawal response was used as an indicator of nociceptive responsiveness. Low intensity (slow ramp) skin heating evokes withdrawal responses mediated by the activation of C- (unmyelinated) nociceptive fibers; higher intensity skin heating (rapid ramp) selectively elicits responses mediated by A-delta (myelinated) thermonociceptors. Briefly, to assess C fiber mediated responses, heat intensity was adjusted by altering the supply voltage (35-55 V) of the focused lamp until a withdrawal response was observed to occur with latency between 7.5 and 8.5 s. In order to reduce the potential for tissue damage, a cut-off latency of 15 s was implemented after which the stimulus was terminated. Rats not responding (within 10 s) to a supply voltage of 55 V during baseline testing were excluded from the study. The intensity applied to achieve such latencies was noted for each animal and used to assess withdrawal latencies prior to and following nasal administration of the test agent. Rats not responding (within 3.5 s) to a supply voltage of 85 V were excluded from the study. Baseline withdrawal latencies were determined for each fiber type prior to nasal application of the test agent.To deliver intranasal OT or vehicle the rats were anesthetized in a chamber using isoflurane (2%). They were then placed on a heating pad in a supine position as the anesthesia was continued with a nose cone. This horizontal position of the head was maintained throughout the procedure preventing drainage of the drug solution to the trachea and esophagus. The total volume of 50 pL solutions was administered by pipette in 6-7 pL drops in alternating naris every two min, over a total of 14 min. The drop was placed at the naris opening while occluding the opposite naris allowing the animal to snort the drop into the nasal cavity. The rats were allowed to wake up in a separate cage on a heating pad. Rats were then returned to their home cage. Withdrawal latencies in response to C fiber cheek stimulation were then remeasured at 60 min following dosing. At the end of the testing session, rats were euthanized by CO2 inhalation.For OT, the Mg2+dependency was calculated by subtracting latency of withdrawal measured in seconds for the rats receiving OT with 0 mM of Mg2+from the latency of withdrawal measured in seconds for the rats receiving OT with 300 mM of Mg2+. For Compound 20, theMg2+dependency was calculated by subtracting latency of withdrawal measured in seconds for the rats receiving Compound 20 with 0.5 mM of Mg2+from the latency of withdrawal measured in seconds for the rats receiving Compound 20 with 1.75 mM of Mg2+. Results show a difference in latency of withdrawal in the presence of OT and Mg2+increased with OT concentration, showing dependency to Mg2+. However, no such Mg2+dependency was observed for Compound 20 (see Figure 9).
