[0001] SMALL MOLECULE COMPOUNDS FOR TREATING PARASITIC NEMATODE DISEASES

[0002] RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0003] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 568,525 filed on March 22, 2024, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0004] STATEMENT OF FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT

[0005] This invention was made with government support under Grant No. Al 150866 awarded by the National Institutes of Health. The government has certain rights in the invention.

[0006] BACKGROUND

[0007] Human gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs, also known as soil-transmitted helminths) include the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, the whipworm Trichuris trichiura, and the hookworms Necator americanus, Ancylostoma duodenale, and Ancylostoma ceylanicum. They are among the most prevalent infections of Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs), affecting people in the world’s poorest communities. GINs are successful parasites of vertebrates that have adapted to parasitize humans, livestock, and companion animals. Morbidities associated with GIN infections in humans include anemia, malnutrition, growth stunting, cognitive impairment, pregnancy complications, and lowered immunity against other infectious diseases. GIN infections are responsible for at least 2-3 million disability- adjusted life years (DALY), with hookworms accounting for almost one-half of the DALYs lost due to GIN infections. Children who received hookworm treatment had increased school attendance and adult income. GINs also have enormous impacts on the health and productivity of farm animals.

[0008] The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended annual or semi-annual Mass Drug Administration (MDA) targeting preschool and school-age children to reduce worm burden and associated morbidity. Four anthelmintics (levamisole, pyrantel pamoate, albendazole, and mebendazole), initially developed for livestock, are currently on the WHO list to control human GINs, with the two benzimidazoles, albendazole and mebendazole, most widely used because of their improved efficacies. In companion and livestock animals, GINs are controlled via frequent and routine treatment using a repertoire of anthelmintics, which has led to widespread and sometimes multi-drug anthelmintic resistance. Benzimidazole resistance is well-established in the veterinary parasites. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the beta-tubulin gene linked to the benzimidazole resistance in veterinary parasites have been found in human GINs, indicating that with high drug pressure, there is likely to be an emergence for benzimidazole resistance in human GINs. In Haiti and Kenya, the frequency of benzimidazole-resistance codon 200 in T. trichiura was significantly increased following local MDA programs. There are also multiple reports of lowered efficacy of benzimidazoles against human GINs and warnings against drug resistance. Notwithstanding these challenges, WHO has set the ambitious goal to eliminate human GINs by 2030.

[0009] Therefore, potent and broadly active anthelmintics with new modes of action, as well as treatment methods comprising them, are urgently needed for long-term control and elimination of parasitic infections.

[0935] Administration / Dosages / Formulations

[0936] Liquid dosage forms for oral administration include 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, com, 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.

[0937] Injectable preparations (for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions) may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution, suspension, or emulsion in a nontoxic 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, U.S.P., and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil can be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid are used in the preparation of injectables.

[0938] In order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0939] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are preferably suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the compounds of this disclosure 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.

[0940] 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.

[0941] 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. Dosage forms for topical or transdermal administration of a compound of this disclosure 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. Ophthalmic formulation, ear drops, eye ointments, powders and solutions are also contemplated as being within the scope of this disclosure.

[0942] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compound of this disclosure, excipients such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.

[0943] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to the compounds of this disclosure, excipients such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons.

[0944] Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of a compound to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispensing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or by dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.

[0945] According to the methods of treatment of the present disclosure, disorders are treated or prevented in a subject, such as a human or other animal, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the disclosure, in such amounts and for such time as is necessary to achieve the desired result. The term “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound of the disclosure, as used herein, means a sufficient amount of the compound so as to decrease the symptoms of a disorder in a subject. As is well understood in the medical arts a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of this disclosure will be at a reasonable benefit / risk ratio applicable to any medical treatment.

[0946] In general, compounds of the disclosure will be administered in therapeutically effective amounts via any of the usual and acceptable modes known in the art, either singly or in combination with one or more therapeutic agents. A therapeutically effective amount may vary widely depending on the severity of the disease, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used and other factors. In general, satisfactory results are indicated to be obtained systemically at daily dosages of from about 0.03 to 2.5 mg / kg per body weight. An indicated daily dosage in the larger mammal, e.g., humans, is in the range from about 0.5 mg to about 100 mg, conveniently administered, e.g., in divided doses up to four times a day or in retard form. Suitable unit dosage forms for oral administration comprise from ca. 1 to 50 mg active ingredient. In certain embodiments, a therapeutic amount or dose of the compounds of the present disclosure may range from about 0.1 mg / Kg to about 500 mg / Kg, alternatively from about 1 to about 50 mg / Kg. In general, treatment regimens according to the present disclosure comprise administration to a patient in need of such treatment from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg of the compound(s) of this disclosure per day in single or multiple doses. Therapeutic amounts or doses will also vary depending on route of administration, as well as the possibility of co-usage with other agents.

[0947] Upon improvement of a subject’s condition, a maintenance dose of a compound, composition or combination of this disclosure may be administered, if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or frequency of administration, or both, may be reduced, as a function of the symptoms, to a level at which the improved condition is retained; when the symptoms have been alleviated to the desired level, treatment should cease. The subject may, however, require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of disease symptoms.

[0948] It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific inhibitory dose for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed; and like factors well known in the medical arts.

[0958] Scheme 1. Synthesis scheme of (E)-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)- / \ / - phenylacrylamide derivatives

[0959] Commercially available cinnamic acid derivatives, thionyl chloride and triethylamine were purchased from Sigma Aldrich, Co., St. Louis, MO. 4-substituted aniline derivatives were purchased from AK Scientific, Inc. 30023 Ahern Avenue Union City, CA 94587, USA. Thionyl chloride (3 eq) was added dropwise to a suspension of cinnamic acid derivative (1 eq) in an anhydrous dichloromethane with vigorous stirring. Next, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 6 h. The organic solvent and excess thionyl chloride were evaporated under reduced pressure to afford the acyl chloride. Triethylamine (5 eq) was added to a suspension of a 4-substituted aniline derivative (1.20 eq) and acyl chloride (1.0 eq) in THF, and the resulting mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 12 h. THF was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was extracted twice with dichloromethane. The combined organic extract was washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated in vacuo to afford the (E)-3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4- hydroxyphenyl)- / V-phenylacrylamide derivative. The resultant solid product was then dissolved in methanol and the crude product purified by reverse phase HPLC using a semipreparative C18 column and water / acetonitrile gradient supplemented with 0.05% TFA.

[0982] Parasite Maintenance in Laboratory Animals

[0983] A. ceylanicum hookworm parasites were maintained in golden Syrian hamsters (PloS Negl Trop Dis 2012, 6 (11), e1900). Following standard protocols, T. muris whipworm parasites were maintained in STAT6- / - mice (PloS One 8432013, 8 (7), e70702).

[0984] The disclosed subject matter is not to be limited in scope by the specific embodiments and examples described herein. Indeed, various modifications of the disclosure in addition to those described will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the foregoing description and accompanying figures. Such modifications are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.

[0985] All references e.g., publications or patents or patent applications) cited herein are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and for all purposes to the same extent as if each individual reference {e.g., publication or patent or patent application) was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference in its entirety for all purposes. Other embodiments are within the following claims.

[0986] Example 3: Screening Methods

[0987] A screening model (FIG. 15) based on the larval stages of human hookworm parasites was used as described in Sci Rep 2019, 9(1), 12347, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The primary screen was scaled up with modifications to include 30,000+ compounds in chemical libraries (FIG. 16).

[0988] Primary Screening Using Larval Developmental Assay

[0989] Feces from A. ceylanicum-' ected hamsters were collected ~18 days post-infection and about 20 grams of feces were processed for egg isolation and purification following salt / sugar flotation protocol (Parasitology 2001 , 123 (Pt 3), 309-14 and 10.1101 / 2023.02.01.526637). Purified and surface sterilized eggs were incubated in S- medium (WormBook 2006, 1-11) at 28 °C, without any food source for about 20 hours, allowing eggs to hatch into synchronized first-stage larvae (10.1101 / 2023.02.01.526637). Newly hatched L1 were washed three times in a S-medium. About 30-35 L1 larvae were dispensed into each well of 96-well assay plates containing 90|JL of S-media supplemented with 100U / ml of penicillin, 100|jg / ml streptomycin, and 2.5pg / ml amphotericin, Escherichia coli OP50 with final GD600 of 0.3 and 0.15 l Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Library plates were diluted in S-media to 100pM and 1%DMSO. Using a multichannel pipette, 1OpL of the library plates were transferred into each well of the assay plates, giving a final concentration of 10pM of test drug and 0.25% DMSO. Plates were prepared in duplicates. Test plates were incubated at 28 °C for seven days and then scored for development under a dissecting microscope. Test drugs were considered hit if > 90% of L1 larvae failed to develop in duplicate wells. Each assay plate includes four wells of 10pM ivermectin as positive control and four wells of 0.25% DMSO as negative control.

[0990] Secondary Screening Using young Adults of Hookworm Parasites

[0991] Hits were then screened from the primary screening (larval development) against the adult stages of hookworm parasites. A. ceylanicum hookworm young adults were harvested 10-11 days post-inoculation from the small intestines of infected hamsters. Harvested worms were washed and incubated in prewarmed hookworm culture medium (RPMI1640 of pH 7.2 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100U penicillin, 100pg / ml streptomycin, 2.5pg / ml amphotericin). Two adults of A. ceylanicum hookworm were manually picked into each well of the 96-well assay plates, containing 70pL of hookworm medium supplemented with 0.7pl DMSO. Using a multichannel pipette, 30pL from the library plates diluted in hookworm medium to a final concentration of 100pM and 1% DMSO were dispensed into screening wells, giving a final concentration in assay plates of 30pM of test compounds and 1% DMSO with duplicate wells / drug. Assay plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Drug activity was determined using the standard motility index (Sci Rep 2019, 9 (1), 12347 and PloS One 2013, 8 (7), e70702). A motility index of 3 was given to vigorous healthy adults, 2 for motile but slow adults, 1 for immotile adults that moved after stimulation by touching, and 0 for non-motile adults even after touching. The drug was considered a hit if the motility index of at least three of the four A. ceylanicum hookworm adults were scored <1 and / or if all the parasites in the well had significant morphological defects {e.g., shrunken cuticles, darkened intestines (FIG. 17). Each assay plate included four positive control wells (30pM ivermectin) and four negative control wells (1% DMSO).

[0992] Tertiary Screening Using Adult Whipworm Parasites

[0993] A. ceylanicum hookworm adult hits were then screened against T. muris whipworm parasites. T. muris adult whipworms were harvested from the cecum and large intestines of infected STAT6- / - mice. Single worms were manually picked into each well of a 48-well plate, six wells / test drug, and a final volume of 291 pL of whipworm culture medium with 2.1 pl DMSO (like hookworm culture medium but supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum). 9pL from library plates diluted in whipworm medium to a final concentration of 1mM and 10% DMSO were dispensed into each well of the screening plates, giving a final concentration of 30|JM test drug and 1% DMSO. Assay plates were incubated at 37 °C, and 5% CO2. T. muris whipworm motility was measured using an in-house assembled worminator and worm assay software (PloS Negl Trop Dis 2012, 6 (1), e1494) for 3 minutes after 24 and 48 hours. Drug activity was determined using the percent motility inhibition compared to DMSO control. Drugs were considered active if the 24- and / or 48-hour motility was reduced by at least 50% compared to negative control (FIG. 18).

[0994] Example 4: Chemical Libraries Screened

[0995] Life Chemical 15K diversity set:

[0996] Life Chemical pre-plated diversity set library was obtained from the Small Molecules Screening Facility (SMSF), UMASS Chan Medical School. The library contains 15,360 compounds representing 1 ,717 chemical scaffolds with an average Tanimoto similarity index of 0.409. Library compounds were plated in 96-well plates with 1 ul of 10mM stock concentration. Hits from the primary and secondary screening were cherrypicked into 96-well plates for A. ceylanicum hookworms or T. muris whipworms screening.

[0997] Broad Institute Repurposing Hub

[0998] The drug repurposing hub includes 6,743 compounds which were from a curated and annotated collection of preclinical drugs in phase 1 (REPO 1) or phases 2-3 (REPO 2) and FDA-approved and launched drugs (REPO 3). REPO drugs cover a wide range of disease areas, including but not limited to infectious diseases, allergies, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, metabolism, neurology, and gastroenterology. The library covers 1,133 different modes of action and 2,183 different drug targets (Nat Med 2017, 23 (4), 405-408).

[0999] ICCB Screening libraries

[1000] The Institute of Chemistry and Cell Biology-Longwood (ICCB-L) Screening Program at Harvard Medical School offers a wide range of well-annotated drug screening libraries. Multiple ICCB-L libraries were screened, including mechanism of action, neuronal targets, GPCR-based inhibitors, and six libraries of kinase inhibitors.

[1001] ICCB-L MCA: the mechanism of the action library is a collection of high-quality annotated compounds with biological activity against known targets with target-compound pairs based on high target specificity and potency. The library contains 1 ,245 unique compounds, each plated in 4 doses.

[1002] ICCB-L Selleck Neuronal Targets: the neuronal targets library was initially composed of Selleck chemicals from FDA-approved compound sets that were determined to have biological activity in neurologic research and neurological assays. ICCB-L ChemBridge focused GPCR: this focused library of 250 GPCR inhibitors was selected from 13,000 GPCR inhibitors assembled by ChemBridge. The library has 11 different scaffolds, each containing 19-24 compounds.

[1003] Kinase inhibitor libraries: in total, we screened focused sets of 1428 kinase inhibitors from 7 different kinase libraries, some of which were screened at multiple doses.

[1004] ICCB-L SYNthesis kinase inhibitor: this library was assembled by SYNthesis Med Chem of 96 compounds known to inhibit different kinases.

[1005] ICCB-L EMD Kinase inhibitors: this library was built by EMD of 244 protein kinase inhibitors.

[1006] ICCB-L ChemBridge Focused Kinase inhibitors: this library of 250 compounds was created and selected from the ChemBridge kinase-biased library of 6000 compounds. These compounds were selected based on the pharmacophore properties of known kinase inhibitors or from compounds predicted to interact with the ATP binding site of kinases. In total, these compounds represent 16 different scaffolds that cover 34 kinase targets.

[1007] ICCB-L LINCS 1,2 and 4 Kinase inhibitors: these three libraries were assembled by LINCS together, including 345 compounds with known or predicted kinase inhibitors.

[1008] SMSF Kinase Inhibitor Library

[1009] This library includes 429 kinase inhibitors with activity and safety confirmed by preclinical research and clinical trials.

[1010] Natural Products:

[1011] The TimTec library of 4240 purified compounds from natural products or derivatives was screened. The TimTec library was obtained from the SMSF and includes two types of compounds.

[1012] Natural Products Library (NPL): the NPL library includes 1200 purified natural compounds from plant, bacteria, fungi, and animal sources.

[1013] Natural Derivatives Library (NDL): the NDL library includes 3040 semi-natural compounds derived from natural molecules or synthetic compounds with natural-like structures.

[1014] Structure-Activity Relationship (SAR) of Anthelmintic Hits:

[1015] Vendors’ databases and online tools were used to identify analogs of Compound 1, which were purchased from Life Chemicals. These analogs were tested against the adult stages of T. muris whipworm and A. ceylanicum hookworm parasites at 30pM and scored using the Worminator at 24 and 48 hours. Hence, A. ceylanicum hookworm parasites used in testing Compound 1 analogs for SAR model were mature adults harvested 18 days postinfection

[1016] Example 5: Screening Summary In total, 30,238 unique compounds were screened in duplicate. Some compounds were screened at multiple doses due to plate format availability, making the total number of conditions screened 76,586. All libraries were initially screened in duplicate at 10 pM. As per our pipeline, primary screen hits (in both duplicate wells) were screened at 30 pM against adult A. ceylanicum hookworms. Adult hookworm hits were then screened at 30 pM against adult T. muris whipworms. A breakdown of hits “library by library” is shown below in Table 12.

[1017] Table 12

[1018] Hits from the Generic Diversity Set Library:

[1019] Of the 15,360 compounds in the generic diversity set tested against A. ceylanicum hookworm larvae, 491 were active, with a hit rate of 3.2%. These 491 larval hits were tested against the early adult stages of A. ceylanicum hookworm, yielding 33 hookworm adultactive compounds. An example of screening against the early adult stages of A. ceylanicum hookworms is shown in FIG. 17. These 33 A. ceylanicum hookworm adult-active compounds were screened against T. muris adult whipworms, yielding seven hits active against the two evolutionarily divergent parasites. An example of screening against adult T. muris whipworms is shown in FIG. 18.

[1020] Hits from the Repurposing and Mechanism of Action (MoA) Libraries

[1021] Of the 6,743 compounds tested from the repurposing library, 230 A. ceylanicum hookworm larval-active compounds were identified (hit rate of 3.4%), of which 96 showed activity against adult A. ceylanicum hookworms (hit rate 1.42%). Of these 96 compounds, 36 were active against adult T. muris whipworms with a final hit rate of 0.53%. Similarly, The ICCB-Longwood MoA library contained 1 ,245 high-quality compounds with known mechanisms of action. Sixty-five A. ceylanicum hookworm larval-active compounds were identified with a 5.2% hit rate, the highest among all tested libraries. Seventeen of these compounds carried adulticidal activity against A. ceylanicum hookworms, from which nine were active against T. muris whipworm adults, with a final hit rate of 0.72% Hits from the Neuronal and the GPCR libraries:

[1022] Of the 1031 compounds with known modulation of neuronal signaling, we identified 29 A. ceylanicum hookworm larval-active compounds (hit rate of 2.8%). Of these 29 compounds, 12 showed activity against adult A. ceylanicum hookworms (1.1% of the total), of which two were active against T. muris whipworm adults with a final hit rate of 0.19%. We also screened 250 known GPCR inhibitors and identified two compounds with larval activity against A. ceylanicum; however, these compounds did not show activity against the adult stages of parasites. One explanation for the lack of success with this library is that these inhibitors were tailored initially for selective binding to human GPCRs.

[1023] Hits from the Kinase Inhibitor Libraries:

[1024] Of seven kinase inhibitor libraries with 1427 compounds (Table 12), 47 compounds were identified with A. ceylanicum larval activity, giving a hit rate of 3.2%. Of those 47 compounds, 13 showed activities against the adult stages of A. ceylanicum hookworms (0.9%), of which 10 compounds were also active against T. muris whipworm adults with a hit rate of 0.7%.

[1025] Hits from the Natural Products Library:

[1026] Of 4,240 purified compounds from natural products or derived from natural products, 14 compounds were identified with A. ceylanicum larval activity, giving the lowest primary screen hit rate of 0.33%. None of these 14 larvicidal compounds showed activity against the adult stages of A. ceylanicum hookworms.

[1027] Example 6: In Vitro Anthelmintic Activity

[1028] Provided below in Table 13 are 55 active compounds including chemical structure, source library, in vitro activity against A. ceylanicum hookworms (HW M. index where 3 is healthy and 0 is completely immotile), in vitro activity against T. muris whipworms (WW % M.I., motility inhibition), known mode of action in eukaryotic organisms, and the orthologous targets in nematodes if any. (-) no known target.

[1029] Table 13

[1030]

[1031] Collectively, 878 compounds were identified with A ceylanicum larval activity, giving an overall primary screen hit rate of 2.9% (Table 12). In the secondary screen, all larval- active compounds were tested at 30 pM against the adult stages of A. ceylanicum hookworm parasites. Of those, 171 (19.5% of the larval hits) had anthelmintic activity toward adult hookworms, representing a hit rate of 0.5% based on the total number of compounds in the initial libraries. These 171 hookworm-adult actives were tested against adult T. muris whipworms at 30 pM. Sixty-four compounds (37% of the adult hookworm hits and 0.21% based on the total number of compounds in all the libraries) showed activity against whipworm adults (Table 12). Of the 64 compounds identified from all libraries, nine were redundant (included independently in multiple libraries), yielding 55 unique active compounds listed in Table 11. Anthelmintic compounds that showed activity at 30pM against A. ceylanicum and T. muris are shown in Table 13.

[1032] Seven compounds with anthelmintic activity were identified from the Life Chemical Diversity Set, which is compiled of de novo and newly synthesized molecules developed for initial phenotypic screening. To further investigate, 28 analogs were identified using structural similarity online searching tools and purchased from a commercial vendor (Life Chemical), which could serve as training sets for ligand-based optimization and generate the SAR model. This set of analogs was screened against adult T. muris whipworms, followed by older A. ceylanicum hookworm adults, which could read more easily in the Worminator.
