The compounds may also be useful in treating inflammation associated with trauma and non-inflammatory myalgia. The compounds disclosed herein may also be useful in treating inflammation associated with cancer.
[0071] The terms “autoimmune disease” and “autoimmune disorder” are used interchangeably herein and refer to a disease arising from an inappropriate immune response of the body of a subject against substances and tissues normally present in the body. In otherwords, the immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks its owm cells. This may be restricted to certain organs (e.g., in autoimmune thyroiditis) or involve a particular tissue in different places (e.g.. Goodpasture’s disease which may affect the basement membrane in both the lung and kidney). The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression, e.g., medications which decrease the immune response. Exemplary autoimmune diseases include, but are not limited to, glomerulonephritis, Goodpasture’s syndrome, necrotizing vasculitis, lymphadenitis, peri-arteritis nodosa, systemic lupus erythematosis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, , psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, systemic sclerosis, dermatomyositis / polymyositis, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, scleroderma, pemphigus vulgaris, ANCA-associated vasculitis (e.g., Wegener’s granulomatosis, microscopic poly angiitis), uveitis, Sjogren’s syndrome, Crohn’s disease, Reiter’s syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, Lyme disease, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, and cardiomyopathy.

[0073] The terms “neoplasm” and “tumor” are used herein interchangeably and refer to an abnormal mass of tissue wherein the growth of the mass surpasses and is not coordinated with the growth of a normal tissue. A neoplasm or tumor may be “benign” or “malignant,” depending on the following characteristics: degree of cellular differentiation (including morphology and functionality), rate of growth, local invasion, and metastasis. A “benign neoplasm” is generally well differentiated, has characteristically slower growth than a malignant neoplasm, and remains localized to the site of origin. In addition, a benign neoplasm does not have the capacity to infiltrate, invade, or metastasize to distant sites. Exemplary7benign neoplasms include, but are not limited to, lipoma, chondroma, adenomas, acrochordon, senile angiomas, seborrheic keratoses, lentigos, and sebaceous hyperplasias. In some cases, certain “benign” tumors may later give rise to malignant neoplasms, which may result from additional genetic changes in a subpopulation of the tumor’s neoplastic cells, and these tumors are referred to as “pre-malignant neoplasms.” An exemplary pre-malignant neoplasm is a teratoma. In contrast, a “malignant neoplasm” is generally poorly differentiated (anaplasia) and has characteristically rapid growth accompanied by progressive infiltration, invasion, and destraction of the surrounding tissue. Furthermore, a malignant neoplasm generally has the capacity to metastasize to distant sites. The term “metastasis,” “metastatic,” or “metastasize” refers to the spread or migration of cancerous cells from a primary or original tumor to another organ or tissue and is typically identifiable by the presence of a “secondary tumor” or “secondary cell mass” of the tissue type of the primary' or original tumor and not of that of the organ or tissue in which the secondary (metastatic) tumor is located. For example, a prostate cancer that has migrated to bone is said to be metastasized prostate cancer and includes cancerous prostate cancer cells growing in bone tissue.
[0074] A “painful condition” includes, but is not limited to, neuropathic pain (e.g., peripheral neuropathic pain), central pain, deafferentiation pain, chronic pain (e.g., chronic nociceptive pain, and other forms of chronic pain such as post - operative pain, e.g., pain arising after hip, knee, or other replacement surgery), pre-operative pain, stimulus of nociceptive receptors (nociceptive pain), acute pain (e.g., phantom and transient acute pain), noninflammatory pain, inflammatory pain, pain associated with cancer, wound pain, burn pain, postoperative pain, pain associated with medical procedures, pain resulting from pruritus, painful bladder syndrome, pain associated with premenstaial dysphoric disorder and / or premenstrual syndrome, pain associated with chronic fatigue syndrome, pain associated with pre-term labor, pain associated with withdrawal symptoms from drug addictionjoint pain, arthritic pain (e.g., pain associated with crystalline arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, gouty arthritis, reactive arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or Reiter’s arthritis), lumbosacral pain, musculo-skeletal pain, headache, migraine, muscle ache, lo-wer back pain, neck pain, toothache, dental / maxillofacial pain, visceral pain and the like. One or more of the painful conditions contemplated herein can comprise mixtures of various types of pain provided above and herein (e.g. nociceptive pain, inflammatory pain, neuropathic pain, etc}. In some embodiments, a particular pain can dominate. In other embodiments, the painful condition comprises two or more types of pains without one dominating. A skilled clinician can determine the dosage to achieve a therapeutically effective amount for a particular subject based on the painful condition.
[0075] In certain embodiments, the painful condition is neuropathic pain. The term "neuropathic pain" refers to pain resulting from injury to a nerve. Neuropathic pain is distinguished from nociceptive pain, which is the pain caused by acute tissue injury'- involving small cutaneous nerves or small nerves in muscle or connective tissue. Neuropathic pain typically is long-lasting or chronic and often develops days or months following an initial acute tissue injury. Neuropathic pain can involve persistent, spontaneous pain as well as allodynia, which is a painful response to a stimulus that normally is not painful. Neuropathic pain also can be characterized by hyperalgesia, in which there is an accentuated response to a painful stimulus that usually is trivial, such as a pin prick. Neuropathic pain conditions can develop following neuronal injury and the resulting pain may persist for months or years, even after the original injury has healed. Neuronal injury- may occur in the peripheral nerves, dorsal roots, spinal cord or certain regions in the brain. Neuropathic pain conditions include, but are not limited to, diabetic neuropathy (e.g., peripheral diabetic neuropathy); sciatica; non-specific lower back pain; multiple sclerosis pain; carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia;HIV-related neuropathy; neuralgia (e.g., post-herpetic neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia); pain resulting from physical trauma (e.g., amputation; surgery, invasive medical procedures, toxins, burns, infection), pain resulting from cancer or chemotherapy (e.g., chemotherapy- induced pain such as chemotherapy- induced peripheral neuropathy), and pain resulting from an inflammatory condition (e.g., a chronic inflammatory condition). Neuropathic pain can result from a peripheral nerve disorder such as neuroma; nerve compression; nerve crash, nerve stretch or incomplete nerve transection; mononeuropathy or polyneuropathy. Neuropathic pain can also result from a disorder such as dorsal root ganglion compression; inflammation of the spinal cord; contusion, tumor or hemisection of the spinal cord; tumors of the brainstem, thalamus or cortex; or trauma to the brainstem, thalamus or cortex.
[0076] The symptoms of neuropathic pain are heterogeneous and are often described as spontaneous shooting and lancinating pain, or ongoing, burning pain. In addition, there is pain associated with normally non-painful sensations such as "pins and needles" (paraesthesias and dysesthesias), increased sensitivity to touch (hyperesthesia), painful sensation following innocuous stimulation (dynamic, static or thermal allodynia), increased sensitivity to noxious stimuli (thermal, cold, mechanical hyperalgesia), continuing pain sensation after removal of the stimulation (hyperpathia) or an absence of or deficit in selective sensory pathways (hypoalgesia). In certain embodiments, the painful condition is non-inflammatory pain. The types of non-inflammatory pain include, without limitation, peripheral neuropathic pain (e.g., pain caused by a lesion or dysfunction in the peripheral nervous system), central pain (e.g., pain caused by a lesion or dysfunction of the central nervous system), deafferentation pain (e.g., pain due to loss of sensory input to the central nervous system), chronic nociceptive pain (e.g., certain types of cancer pain), noxious stimulus of nociceptive receptors (e.g., pain felt in response to tissue damage or impending tissue damage), phantom pain (e.g., pain felt in a part of the body that no longer exists, such as a limb that has been amputated), pain felt by psychiatric subjects (e.g., pain where no physical cause may exist), and wandering pain (e.g., wherein the pain repeatedly changes location in the body).
[0077] In certain embodiments, the painful condition is inflammatory pain. In certain embodiments, the painful condition (e.g., inflammatory pain) is associated with an inflammatory condition and / or an immune disorder.
[0078] The term “bone disease” refers to an injury, pain, or condition in the subject’s bones. Examples include, without limitation, achondroplasia, acromegaly, bone callus, bone demineralization, bone fracture, bone marrow disease, bone marrow neoplasm, dyskeratosiscongenita, leukemia (e.g., hairy cell leukemia, lymphocytic leukemia, myeloid leukemia, Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia, plasma cell leukemia, stem cell leukemia), systemic mastocytosis, myelodysplastic syndromes, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, myeloid sarcoma, myeloproliferative disorders, multiple myeloma, polycythemia vera, pearson marrow-pancreas syndrome, bone neoplasm, bone marrow neoplasm, Ewing sarcoma, osteochondroma, osteoclastoma, osteosarcoma, brachydactyly, Camurati- Engelmann syndrome, Craniosynostosis, Crouzon craniofacial dysostosis, dwarfism, achondroplasia, bloom syndrome, Cockayne syndrome, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Seckel syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, Werner syndrome, hyperostosis, osteophyte, Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome, Marfan syndrome, McCune-Albright syndrome, osteitis, osteoarthritis, osteochondritis, osteochondrodysplasia, Kashin-Beck disease, Leri -Weill dyschondrosteosis, osteochondrosis, osteodystrophy, osteogenesis imperfecta, osteolysis, Gorham-Stout syndrome, osteomalacia, osteomyelitis, osteonecrosis, osteopenia, osteopetrosis, osteoporosis, osteosclerosis, otospondylomegaepiphyseal dysplasia, pachydermoperiostosis, Paget disease of bone, Polydactyly, Meckel syndrome, rickets, Rothmund-Thomson syndrome, Sotos syndrome, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita, syndactyly, Apert syndrome, syndactyly type II, and Werner syndrome.

[0318] In order to prolong the effect of a therapeutic agent, it is often desirable to slow the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can 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 may be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.
[0319] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are typically suppositories which can be prepared by mixing the conjugates 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 ingredient.
[0320] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules.

[0368] Male C57B1 / 6 mice (n=8) were enrolled into each of 9 groups and underwent laser- induced choroidal neovascularization (CNV) in both eyes (OU) on Day 0. Animals receiving intravitreal (IVT) treatment OU (Groups 1 and 2) were dosed immediately following CNV. Animals dosed subcutaneously (SQ; Group 3) or via oral gavage (OG; Groups 4-9) received treatment 24 hours post-CNV. Group 1 animals received a 1 pL IVT injection of vehicle;Group 2 animals received a 1 pL, 40 pg (40 mg / mL) IVT injection of aflibercept (positivecontrol); Group 3 animals received a 200 pL, 40 pg (2 mg / kg) SQ injection of D-4517.2;Group 4 animals received a 100 pL, 40 pg (2 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 1; Group 5 animals received a 100 pL, 200 pg (10 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 1 ; Group 6 animals received a 100 pL, 40 pg (2 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 2; Group 7 animals received a 100 pL, 200 pg (10 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 2; Group 8 animals received a 100 pL, 40 pg (2 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 3; and Group 9 animals received a 100 pL, 200 pg (10 mg / kg) OG dose of Oral Formulation 3. Ocular examinations (OEs) were performed at baseline for enrollment. Color fundus imaging was performed on Day 0 following CNV. Fluorescein angiography (FA) was performed on Days 7 and 14. On Day 14, the animals were euthanized, and all eyes were collected and processed for RPE choroid flat-mount analysis of isolectin lesion area.Table 1. Experimental DesignAbbreviations: CNV -- choroidal neovascularization; ROA - route of administration; Gr - group; N - number of mice; Tx - treatment; IVT - intravitreal; SQ - subcutaneous; OG - oral gavage; OE - ocular exam
[0369] Following study start, there was one change to the protocol. Groups 3-9 were dosed 24 hours after CNV to harmonize with previous study designs.Test Articles
[0370] Aflibercept is commercially available and was injected neat without dilution. The test articles (TAs) and excipients were stored at 2-8°C upon receipt.
[0371] For SQ dosing, a stock solution of D-4517.2 at 200 mg / mL (ABZ 2934) was diluted with a formulation buffer containing 6.3% trehalose dihydrate and 10 mM histidine (pH 5.5; Lot # SKT-880-028 Buffer) to prepare the formulation solution at 0.2 mg / mL. Two 0.5 mL aliquots were used for dose concentration analysis.
[0372] For OG dosing, D-4517.2 (SKT-880-027.1) was reconstituted in excipients for oral gavage prior to dosing. A stock solution of D-4517.2 (SKT-880-027.1) in water at 30 mg / mL was prepared and split into 3 equal parts for each of the oral formulations. D-4517.2 dissolved easily at 30 mg / mL with vortex and sonication. Two 0.5 mL aliquots were set aside and used for concentration analysis. The appropriate permeation enhancers were weighed and diluted into water for injection (WFI) per Table 2, then vortexed and sonicated to mix until no solids were left. The compound dissolved easily under these conditions; exact times were not recorded. The dissolved permeation enhancers were added to the D-4517.2 resuspended in water to obtain the desired concentration. The solution was vortexed for 2 minutes to obtain a clear orange solution, which was checked visually to ensure that no solids remained. Two 0.5 mL aliquots were set aside and used for concentration analysis.Table 2. Test Article FormulationsDosing and ProceduresLaser-Induced Choroidal Neovascularization
[0373] On Day 0, mice were given buprenorphine 0.01-0.05 mg / kg SQ. Atopical mydriatic (1.0% tropicamide HG and 2.5% phenylephrine HC1) were applied at least 15 minutes prior to the laser procedure. The mice were tranquilized with an intraperitoneal (IP) injection of ketamine / xyl azine. The cornea was kept moistened using topical eyewash, and body temperature was maintained using hot pads. An 810 nm diode laser delivered through a slitlamp was used to create 4 single laser spots surrounding the optic nerve. Both mouse eyes underwent laser treatment according to the experimental design table. vitreal Injection
[0374] On Day 0 prior to injection, mice in Groups 1 and 2, while remaining anesthetized from the CNV procedure, were given one drop of 0.5% proparacaine HC1 OU. The conjunctiva was gently grasped with Dumont #4 forceps, and the injection was made using a 33 G needle and a Hamilton syringe. After dispensing the syringe contents, the syringe needle was slowly withdrawn. Following the injection procedure, 1 drop of Ofloxacin ophthalmic solution was applied topically to the ocular surface with eye lube. The animal was returned to its cage and allowed to recover normally.Subcutaneous Injection
[0375] Twenty-four (24) hours after the CNV procedure, while manually restrained, a 30G needle was used to administer 200 uL of TA into the loose skin between the shoulders to animals in Group 3. Following dosing, mice were returned to their cages. There were no abnormal observations regarding SQ dosing noted in the study records.Oral Gavage
[0376] Twenty-four (24) hours after the CNV procedure, each mouse in Groups 4-9 was gently scruffed and tilted slightly away from the handler. Using a rodent feeding needle / tube(18-24g), each mouse was given the TA designated in the experimental design table in a dosing volume of no more than 10 mL / kg. The animal was gently restrained to imm obilize the head. The distance from the oral cavity to the xiphoid process was measured to ascertain the distance of insertion for the feeding needle. While maintaining the animal in an upright (vertical) position, the gavage needle was passed along the left side of the mouth (following the roof of the mouth) and advanced into the esophagus and toward the stomach. After the needle was passed to the correct length, the TA was injected. Following dosing, mice were returned to their cage. There were no abnormal observations regarding OG dosing noted in the study records.ResultsCage-Side Examinations
[0377] Morbidity and mortality were observed daily along with cage-side observations with particular attention paid to both eyes.Ocular Examination
[0378] OEs were done using a slit-lamp biomicroscope to evaluate ocular surface morphology at baseline to determine enrollment into the study.
[0379] Due to the change in procedure noted previously, the mice in Group 3 that were lasered and dosed on the same day were humanely euthanized and replaced with all existing spares, which precluded exclusion of mice in Groups 3- 9 based on baseline ocular findings as no spares remained.Color Fundus Imaging
[0380] While remaining under sedation from the CNV procedure, color fundus imaging was performed on all enrolled eyes post-laser to visualize the lesions and assist with exclusions based on failure to rupture Bruch’s membrane. In addition to the 1.0% tropicamide HC1 and 2.5% phenylephrine HC1 administered pre-laser to dilate and proptose the eyes, animals were given 0.5% phenylephrine HC1 or similar.Fluorescein Angiography
[0381] On Days 7 and 14, FA was performed to visualize vascular leakage and, subsequently, measure the leakage area. Mydriasis for FA was achieved using a tropical mydriatic (1.0% tropicamide HC1 and 2.5% phenylephrine HC1; 1 drop in each eye 15 minutes prior to examination). Mice were tranquilized with an IP injection of ketamine / xylazine. Retinal photography was performed approximately 1 minute after intraperitoneal sodium fluorescein injection (50 mg / kg of 1% fluorescein stock).
[0382] At the Day 7 post-laser timepoint, animals in Groups 1, 5, and 8 had the largest lesion area (FIG. 1 and FIG. 2) while animals in Groups 3, 4, 6, and 7 had the smallest lesion area. In all groups, lesion area decreased from Day 7 to Day 14. On Day 14, Group 1 animals had the largest lesion area, while animals in Groups 3, 6, 7, and 9 had the lowest lesion area.
[0383] Statistical analysis of the FA lesion area between vehicle-treated eyes and experimental eyes was performed. On Day 7, vehicle-treated eyes had significantly larger lesion area than eyes of animals receiving 2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ (Group 3), 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 (Group 4), and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 at p<0.05 (Group 9), and significantly larger lesion area than eyes of animals receiving 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Groups 6 and 7; p<0.01). There was no significant difference between the lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes and eyes treated with aflibercept or the eyes of animals treated with 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1, and 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (FIG. I).
[0384] On Day 14, vehicle-treated eyes had significantly larger lesion area than eyes of animals receiving 2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ (Group 3) at / ?<0.05, and 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral formulation 2 (Groups 6 and 7; p < 0.01 ) and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (Group 9) at p<0.01. There was no significant difference between the lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes (Group 1) and eyes treated with aflibercept (Group 2) or the eyes of animals treated with, 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 (Groups 4 and 5), and 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (Group 8; FIG. 2).
[0385] Statistical comparisons of the lesion area between vehicle-treated eyes (Group 1), aflibercept (Group 2), D-4517.2 (Group 3), and 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Groups 6 and 7) was also performed. There was no significant difference in lesion area between vehicle-treated eyes and IVT aflibercept-treated eyes (FIG. 3). The lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes was significantly larger than eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg D- 4517.2 SQ at p<0.05, and significantly larger than eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 at p<0.01; the 2 and 10 mg / kg doses were not significantly different from each other.

[0387] Following FA on Day 14, animals were euthanized via carbon dioxide asphyxiation and death was confirmed by cervical dislocation. All eyes were collected for RPE choroid flatmount analysis.RPE Choroid Flat-Mounts
[0388] Eyes were enucleated and immediately fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate- buffered saline (PBS) overnight at 4°C. The following day, the eyes were transferred to cold immunocytochemistry (ICC) buffer (PBS containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin [BSA] and 0.2% Tween 20) until processing. Following overnight fixation and using a dissecting microscope, the eyes were trimmed of extraneous tissue and the anterior segment and lens were removed. The retina was detached and removed from the optic nerve head with fine curved scissors. Eye cups were rinsed with cold ICC buffer.
[0389] Eye cups were placed in cold ICC buffer containing 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (D.API; nuclear stain), isolectin IB4 DyLight 649 (marks all vasculature; Vector Labs DL- 1208-.5), and AlexaFluor 488 Phalloidin (f-actin; ThermoFisher cat# A12379). Eye cups were incubated at 4°C with gentle rotation for 4 hours and then washed with cold ICC buffer. Radial cuts were then made toward the optic nerve head avoiding lesions, and the sclera- choroid / retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) complexes were flat-mounted, covered, and sealed. Two-dimensional (2D) fluorescent microscopy images were acquired, digitized, and analyzed using an Olympus Bx63 upright fluorescent microscope and CellSens (Olympus) software and post-acquisition analysis was performed with CellSens software. Isolectin 1B4 is a lectin that binds to the cell surface of endothelial cells and was used as a marker for choroid neovascularization following laser induced Bruch’s membrane disruption. To quantify neoformed vessels, the isolectin IB4 area was measured in pm2.
[0390] On Day 14, the lesion area was largest in Groups 1, 2, and 5 (FIG. 6), and Groups 4, 7, and 8 had the smallest lesion area.
[0391] Statistical analysis was performed on the Day 14 isolectin IB4 lesion area measurements. The lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes was significantly larger than eyes from animals treated with 2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ (Group 3; p<0.01) 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 6; / ?<0.01), 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 (Group 4; / ?<0.001), 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (Group 9; p<0.001), 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 7; / ?<0.0001) and the 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (Group 8; / ?<0.0001). There were no significant differences between vehicle-treated eyes and eyes from animals receiving IVT aflibercept (Group 2) or 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 (Group 5; FIG. 6).
[0392] Statistical analysis was performed of the isolectin IB4 lesion area between vehicle- treated eyes and eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg Oral Formulations 1, 2, and 3 (FIG. 7). The lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes was significantly larger than the lesion area of eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ (Group 3; p<0.01) and 2 mg / kg OralFormulation 2 (Group 6; / ?<0.01), 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 (Group 4; p<0.001), and the 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 (Group 8; p<0.0001). There was no significant difference in the lesion area between vehicle-treated eyes and aflibercept-treated eyes (FIG. 7).
[0393] Statistical analysis on the isolectin IB4 lesion area between vehicle-treated eyes and eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 was performed (FIG. 8). The lesion area of vehicle-treated eyes was significantly larger than in eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ (Group 3; p<0.01), 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 6; <0.01) and the 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 7; p<0.0001). The lesion area of eyes from animals receiving 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 6) was larger than the lesion area of eyes from animals receiving 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 (Group 7); the difference approached significance (p=0.07).Conclusion
[0394] Presented herein is an evaluation of the efficacy of different formulations and routes of administration in a laser-induced model of CNV in the mouse. On Day 0, mice underwent laser-induced CNV OU. Immediately post-laser, Group 1 animals received vehicle IVT OU and Group 2 animals received 40 mg / kg aflibercept IVT OU. On Day 1, Group 3 animals received 0.2 mg / kg D-4517.2 SQ. On Day 1, animals in Groups 4-9 received OG doses of the Sponsor’s TAs: Group 4 received 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1; Group 5 received 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1; Group 6 received 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2; Group 7 received 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2; Group 8 received 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3; and Group 9 received 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3.
[0395] Ocular examinations (OEs) were performed at baseline for enrollment. With the exception of 401 OD, which was excluded for a corneal opacity, all other eyes with baseline ocular findings were enrolled into the study due to a lack of available spare animals following a change in study design post-study start.
[0396] Color fundus imaging was performed on Day 0 following CNV These images provided documentation of successful disruption of Bruch’s membrane and served as a reference for subsequent analysis of area either as a measure of leakage (i.e. fluorescein angiography) or neovascularization (i.e. isolectin staining on flat-mounts). Fluorescein angiography (FA) was performed on Days 7 and 14, which allowed vessel leakage area to be monitored over time. On Day 7, animals in Groups 1, 5, and 8 (vehicle, 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1, and 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3, respectively) had the largest lesion area while animals in Groups 6 and 7 (2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2, respectively) had the smallest lesion area. In all groups, lesion area decreasedfrom Day 7 to Day 14. On Day 14, Group 1 animals had the largest lesion area, while animals in Groups 6 (2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2), 7 (10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2), and 9 (10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3) had the smallest lesion area. On Day 14, the animals were euthanized, and all eyes were collected and processed for RPE choroid flat-mount analysis of isolectin lesion area. The flat-mount analysis of isolectin staining allows for visualization of the neovascular morphological structure; measurement of lesion area is considered a primary endpoint in this model. Similar to the Day 14 FA lesion area measurements, on Day 14, the isolectin lesion area was largest in Groups 1, 2, and 5 (vehicle, aflibercept, and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1, respectively); in contrast to the Day 14 FA data, Groups 7 and 8 (10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2 and 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3, respectively) had the smallest isolectin area.
[0397] Groups 6 (2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2) and 7 (10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 2) consistently outperformed aflibercept in both the FA leakage area and isolectin measurements of neovascularization. While 2 mg / kg Oral Formulation 1 and 10 mg / kg Oral Formulation 3 also outperformed aflibercept at Day 14 via FA, both had higher variability when compared to Oral Formulation 2.Example 2
[0398] Ocular diseases such as neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) have been treated with anti-VEGF therapies (such as aflibercept and ranibizumab) through direct injection into the vitreous of the eye. These approaches require aseptic techniques and a trained retinal ophthalmologist to administer the drug. The administration of anti-VEGF therapies by direct injection to the eye creates a large burden on the patients and treating retinal ophthalmologists due to the frequency of injection (every 4 to 12 weeks) and the increasing number of wet AMD and DME patients. Therefore, D-4517.2 has been designed to target wet AMD and DME as a systemic therapy. D-4517.2 showed to reduce choroidal neovascular lesions after a single subcutaneous injection to a comparable or greater extent than an intravitreal injection of aflibercept (scaled from human dose) in a mouse model of wet AMD. Safety of D-4517.2 in chronic rat and dog studies has already been well established with subcutaneous dosing.Dose Formulation
[0399] Details of Dosing formulations are included in Table 3Table 3. Dose Formulation DetailsExperimental Design
[0400] Experimental design is described in Table 4.Table 4. Experimental Design and Study Groups*For group 4-6, each animal was dosed with 2 mini capsules (within 2-5 minutes interval), **Rats from groups#4 and 5 were dosed with each capsule containing 3.3mg of D-4517.2, leads to 6.6mg D-4517.2 / animal which is equivalent to 26.4mg / kg of 250gm rat.****Rats from groups#6 were dosed with each capsule containing 2.1mg of D-4517.2, leads to 4.2mg D-4517.2 / animal which is equivalent to 17.1mg / kg of 250gm rat.
[0401] Male Sprague Dawley rats were received by an approved vendor and allowed to acclimate to the Test Facility for at least 2 days. Animals were fasted overnight. Food was returned following the 4 hours post dose blood collection, or approximately 4 hours post dose.
[0402] The formulation was administered once on Day 1 as specified in the experimental design. Intravenous administration was administered via direct stick into a lateral tail vein in Group 1. Oral capsule administration was done via appropriately sized capsule dosing apparatus for size 9el capsules. Each animal received 2 capsules at 2-5-minute intervals in Groups 4-6.
[0403] The following parameters and endpoints were evaluated: mortality, clinical observations, and body weights. Animal body weights were collected prior to dosing. All serial bleeds were scheduled based on the time of the first dose. Serial blood samples were collected via sublingual vein or by another approved method. The method of each collection was recorded. Blood samples were collected into K2EDTA tubes and stored on wet ice until processed. Whole blood samples were processed to plasma by centrifugation (3500rpm for 10 minutes at 5°C) within 30 minutes of collection . Plasma was transferred into cluster tubes and stored at -80°C until transferred. The cellular fraction was discarded. Samples were shipped on dry ice for analysis.Table 5. Individual Dose AdministrationNAA: not applicable; animal not dosed due to limited test article availability* Assumes a formulation density of Ig / mL**Capsules were dosed at a 2-5-minute interval to respective group and considered as single dose.Bioanalysis Evaluation
[0404] Approximately 250 pL of blood samples were collected into K2EDTA tubes and stored on wet ice until processed. Blood was collected for all groups at 0.5, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post dose. Whole blood samples were processed to plasma by centrifugation (3500rpm for 10 minutes at 5°C) within 30 minutes of collection. Plasma was transferred into cluster tubes and stored at -80°C until transferred. The cellular fraction was discarded. Samples were shipped on dry ice for analysis.
[0405] Blood samples were collected into K2EDTA tubes from the sublingual vein at 0.5, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours after dosing. Alturas Analytical (Moscow, ID) determined plasma D-4517.2 concentrations using a qualified LC / MS / MS assay with a lower limit of quantification of 0.05 to 0.25 pg / mL. Pacific BioDevelopment performed noncompartmental pharmacokinetic analysis using Phoenix WinNonlin (version 8.3). FIG. 9 shows a plasma exposure graph showing the plasma exposure levels of the different oral formulations of D-4517.2 from rat plasma at different timepoints (0.5, 2, 4, 8 and 24-hours post injection).
[0406] Maximum plasma concentrations (Cmax), the area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) and dose-normalized AUG are shown in Table 6. The fraction of drug absorbed (F) was calculated from the ratio of the dose normalized AUC to that for the IV dose group.Table 6. D-4517.2 PK ParametersConclusion
[0407] The rats treated with SNAC containing formulations demonstrated improved oral bioavailability.Example 3
[0408] The efficacy evaluation of H74DS3M8 in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis (MS) i.e., Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) is described in this example.
[0409] Neuroinflammation is a major contributor to disease progression in multiple sclerosis and is driven by activated myeloid cells. Hydroxyl-dendrimer nanoparticles can selectively target these activated myeloid cells to deliver both therapeutics and imaging agents. Targeting colony stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) with selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as dasatinib and masitinib lowers experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (E.AE) severity and decreases the progression of progressive multiple sclerosis. These effects are associated with a dramatic reduction in microgliosis and neuroinflammation, and targeting these mechanisms may have significant implications for the inflammation-driven disease processes in MS. However, these drugs have been shown to be associated with serious hepatic and renal toxicity in preclinical species and in humans. A novel nanomedicine was developed that is a hydroxyl dendrimer conjugated to a CSF1R tyrosine kinase inhibitor, an analog of dasatinib, which selectively targets only activated myeloid cells, thus avoiding systemic toxicity. This molecule, H74DS3M8, was previously tested in the same mouse model of EAE alongside 3 other lead candidates. The current study aimed to determine oral efficacy of H74DS3M8 administered twice a week at various dose levels.Study Design for Example 3
[0410] 8-week-old C57bl / 6 female mice were injected subcutaneously (v.c.) with MOG35-55 peptide emulsified in CFA (H37RA in Incomplete Freud’s Adjuvant) at day 0. Booster injections with Pertussis toxin (PTX) were given day 0 and day 2 to induce disease. Disease progression was followed macroscopically from day 5 throughout the study. Once a mean score of 1.5 was reached, the animals were divided into groups and the treatment was initiated the following day (day 11 after the inoculation). Vehicle and H74DS3M8 / SNAC (20mg / kg, 60 mg / kg, 200mg / kg, 400mg / kg and 580mg / kg) were administrated twice a week to the animals via oral gavage. H74DS3M8 (4.4% Trehalose -l OmM Histidine) (60mg / kg) was administrated daily via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection or twice a week subcutaneously (s.c.). Fingolimod (3 mg / kg) and Dasatinib (30 mg / kg) were administrated to the animals via oral gavage (p.o.).
[0411] The blood was collected via sublingual vein 4h post treatment on day 22 of the treatment from all animals, except for Fingolimod group. Obtained serum was aliquoted into single tubes and stored at -20°C.
[0412] The termination was divided over 3 days: set 1 contained groups 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6; set 2 contained groups 7, 9 and 10; set 3 contained groups 1 and 8. On the day of termination of set 1 all the animals received the treatment.
[0413] Spinal cords from all animals were collected, except for the Fingolimod and Dasatinib groups, snap frozen in isopentane on dry ice and transferred to tubes. Kidneys and two lobes of the liver were collected at the termination and snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. The weight of the liver and spleen was taken. The liver for Fingolimod and Dasatinib groups was discarded after the weight measurement. The collected organs were stored at -80°C.
[0414] Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice is a CD4+ T cell mediated autoimmune disease and the most widely accepted animal model of the human disease Multiple Sclerosis (MS) with inflammatory lesions of the CNS causing peripheral paralysis. Disease is induced with one single injection of CNS proteins emulsified in adjuvant and is followed by highly reproducible disease onset about one week after induction. The most severe phase of disease is often observed between 15-20 days after induction and the experiment can be terminated at day 25-30. Inflammatory lesions of the CNS causing peripheral paralysis are characteristic for EAE in mice.Materials and Methods for Example 3

[0426] Animals and Husbandry. C57B1 / 6 mice (females, 7 weeks at delivery) were acquired from Janvier, France. Mice were housed in the animal facility, Medicon Village, Lund, Sweden and kept at 12h light / dark cycles, in polystyrene cages (type III cages, 10 mice per cage) containing wood shavings and fed standard rodent chow and water ad libitum . The mice were acclimatized for approximately one week before initiation of experiment. The mice were ear marked for identification at day 0. Treatment groups were mixed within cages to avoid cage effects.
[0427] Determination of Mean Weight and Group Assignments. All mice were ’weighed at day 0 for determination of mean weight of the mice included in the study. The mean weight of all mice included in the experiment was determined to be 20.65 ± 0.09 grams on day 0. Mice were assigned to the treatment groups when the average disease score reached 3.05 at day 11. In addition to the disease score at day 11, mean weight of the mice at day 11 (18.14± 0. 18 grams) provided the basis for treatment group assignment. Groups were mixed within cages to avoid cage effects. Data is presented as mean ±SEM.
[0428] Disease Induction. EAE was induced day 0 with an emulsion containing 0.2 mg MOG35-55 peptide dissolved in PBS to a concentration of 4 mg / ml. The MOG peptide solution was emulsified with Complete Freund’s Adjuvant (CFA) containing 6 mg / ml H37RA. The emulsion was prepared by adding the oil phase and the water phase to two separate syringes connected with a BD Connecta. The emulsion was pushed through the syringes until a white solid emulsion appeared. The emulsion was kept on ice during the preparation. Mice were anaesthetized with IsoFlo vet, the injection site was cleaned with EtOH, and the emulsion was injected subcutaneously (volume lOOpl) at the flank. A slight pressure was applied on the injection site for 10 seconds after the injection to prevent leakage of emulsion. The mice were removed from anaesthetics and health status, includingbreathing, was monitored until the mice were awake and until recovery' from anaesthetics was ensured. A systemic adjuvant, Pertussis toxin (PTX) 200 ng, was given i.p. day 0 and day 2 after disease induction. The day 0 booster was given 2 hours after immunization. The Pertussis toxin (PTX) was resuspended in MQH2O to a concentration of 50 pg / ml and was further diluted in PBS to a final concentration of I pg / ml.
[0429] Compound and Formulation. The test compound H74DS3M8 for group 9 and 10, ready to use (6mg / ml, 4.4% Trehalose Histidine) was stored at 4°C. The test compound H74DS3M8 (60 mg / ml, in water) for group 4-8 was stored at 4°C. Salcaprozate sodium (SNAC) was provided as a powder, and resuspended in water at 50 mg / ml. The H74DS3M8 was further diluted with SNAC according to Table 7. Dasatinib was first dissolved in 100% DMSO at the concentration 165 mg / ml, aliquoted in small tubes and stored at -20°C. On the day of the treatment 4.4% Trehalose / 1 OmM Histidine was added to the tube to the final concentration of 3mg / ml for dosage of 30mg / kg.
[0430] The stock solution for Fingolimod lOmg / ml was prepared by dissolving Fingolimod in mqH20 and further diluted in mqH20 for the dosage of 3 mg / kg. Daily left-over formulated test items used in the animal facility were discarded upon use. The stock solutions were saved and kept at 4°C.
[0431] Experimental Groups and Administration of Test Compounds. The Vehicle (SNAC) and H74DS3M8 / SNAC (20, 60, 200, 400 and 580mg / kg) were administrated via oral gavage (p.o.) twice a week from day 11 to 25. H74DS3M8 (4.4% Trehalose- Histidine 60 mg / kg) was administrated via subcutaneous injection (s.c.) twice a week from day 11 to 25. In addition, H74DS3M8 (4.4% Trehalose- Histidine 60 mg / kg) was administrated via intraperitoneal injection (i.p.) daily from day 11 to 25. The Fingolimod (3 mg / kg) and Dasatinib (30mg / kg) were administrated via oral gavage (p.o.) daily from day 11 to 25.
[0432] Disease Evaluation. Disease was evaluated daily in a blinded fashion starting day 5 until the end of the experiment according to the following criteria: 0 = healthy, 1 = tail weakness, 2 = tail paralysis, 3 = tail paralysis and mild waddle, 4 = tail paralysis and severe waddle, 5:= tail paralysis and paralysis of one limb, 6 = Tail paralysis and paralysis of a pair of limbs, 7 = tetraparesis or paralysis of three limbs and 8 = premorbid or dead.
[0433] Weight. The animals were weighed on day 0 for the determination of mean weight of the mice included in the experiment. The mice were weighed two times per week betweenday 0 and treatment start on day 11. From the start of the treatment day 11, the animals were weighed every day or twice a week depending on the treatment regiment.
[0434] Health Evaluation. The general health of the mice was evaluated daily after disease induction. All mice were weighed two times per week as part of the general health assessment and for mice in groups 2, 3 and 10 daily after initiation of treatment for determination of dose volumes. Mice K3 (Group 10, H74DS3M8 4.4% Trehalose- Histidine 60 mg / kg i.p) and C3 (Group 4, H74DS3M8 SNAC 20 mg / kg p.o.) were found dead on day 18 and 23 of the study, respectively. Mouse CIO (Group 3, Dasatinib 30 mg / kg p.o.) was removed on day 24 of the study, due to reaching humane end points, i.e. restricted breathing and kyphotic posture.
[0435] Blood Samples. Blood was collected 4h post treatment from all the animals except group 2 (Fingolimod) and mouse K3 (found dead day 18) via sublingual vein on day 22. Serum obtained was collected into single tubes and stored at -20°C.
[0436] Tissue / Organ Collection. Both kidneys, two liver lobes, spleen and spinal cord were collected from animals in groups 1 and 4-9. Spinal cords were collected, snap frozen in isopentane on dry ice, transferred to tubes and put on dry ice until stored -80 °C. The weight of the two liver lobes and spleens was measured for all animals, for group 2 (Fingolimod) and 3 (Dasatinib) the tissues were later discarded. Kidneys and liver lobes were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and transiently put on dry ice until stored at -80 °C. Spleens were weighed and discarded.Results for Example 3
[0437] FIGs. 14A-18B and Table 9 describe the results of this example.1Cumulative incidence. A mouse was considered to have developed disease if receiving a score of 1 or higher on two consecutive scoring days.2Mean EAE score for all scoring time points.3Area under curve for animals from d5 to d25. Three animals that were pre-terminated are included in the calculations up to the day of the removal.Conclusion for Example 3
[0438] Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis (EAE) in mice is a widely used model for investigating the effects of potential drugs against multiple sclerosis. In the present study, vehicle-treated animals developed moderate to severe disease. Once the mean clinical score exceeded 1.5, treatment was initiated the following day (Day 11 post-inoculation).
[0439] Administration of the clinically approved fmgolimod, as well as dasatinib (small molecule analog of H74DS3M8), resulted in a significant inhibition of disease progression. Notably, H74DS3M8-SNAC twice weekly p.o. administration significantly ameliorated disease severity at doses of 20 mg / kg, 60 mg / kg, and 400 mg / kg. See, for example, the results shown in FIGs. 17A-17B. As shown in FIG. 17A, H74DS3M8-SNAC (twice / week p.o.) resulted in a significant improvement in disease severity compared to Vehicle (positive control, fmgolimod (FTY720), is further shown for comparative purposes). FIG. 17B shows a bar chart depicting area under the curve (AUC) of disease scores, demonstrating that the total burden of the disease was significantly lower with the H74DS3M8-SNAC treatment.Additionally, daily i.p. administration of H74DS3M8 at 60 mg / kg also significantly reduced disease severity, consistent with previous findings.
[0440] Body weight measurements show fingolimod, dasatinib, and H74DS3M8, i.p. at 60mg / kg enhanced body weight recovery whereas all H74DS3M8 p.o. and s.c. treatments did not impact body weights throughout the study. In terms of organ weights, fingolimod and H74DS3M8-i.p. groups showed significantly higher liver weight which may be due to the corresponding increased body weight. The H74DS3M8-p.o. 20mg / kg group showed significantly higher spleen weight in comparison to the vehicle.
[0441] Three animals that were pre-terminated are included in the calculations of disease parameters: Max, Mean and AUC up to the day of the removal.
[0442] Serum H74DS3M8 concentration was quantified on the last study day at 4 hours after drug administration. 100% of animals receiving H74DS3M8 via i.p. and s.c. routes demonstrated high serum drug concentrations 4 hours after dosing of approximately 30000 ng / mL and 5000 ng / mL, respectively.
[0443] Of the oral administration groups, animals receiving H74DS3M8-SNAC via p.o. at the lowest (20 mg / kg) and highest (580 mg / kg) doses showed detectable drug levels. This may be due to the fact that SNAC dose level, and more importantly, the ratio between theactive drug and SNAC dose levels, differed between the groups, such that the 20 mg / kg H74DS3M8 group received the highest SNAC dose proportional to its drug dose (1 :24 H74DS3M8:SNAC ratio). With increasing H74DS3M8 dose, the SNAC ratio decreased; however drug was still detected in the 580 mg / kg dose group, likely due to a sufficiently high drug concentration. These results highlight the importance of administering SNAC, permeation enhancer, proportionally to the active drug, and that SNAC can have a significant effect on enhancing oral bioavailability especially at low drug dose levels.
[0444] Efficacy was observed at multiple dose levels of oral H74DS3M8 administered twice a week even in the absence of measurable drug 4 hours post-dosing.Example 4
[0445] Ocular diseases such as neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME) have been treated with anti-VEGF therapies (such as aflibercept and ranibizumab) through direct injection into the vitreous of the eye. These approaches require aseptic techniques and a trained retinal ophthalmologist to administer the drug. The administration of anti-VEGF therapies by direct injection to the eye creates a large burden on the patients and treating retinal ophthalmologists due to the frequency of injection (every 4 to 12 weeks) and the increasing number of wet AMD and DME patients. Therefore, D-4517.2 has been designed to target wet AMD and DME as a systemic therapy. D-4517.2 showed to reduce choroidal neovascular lesions after a single subcutaneous injection to a comparable or greater extent than an intravitreal injection of aflibercept (scaled from human dose) in a mouse model of wet AMD. Safety of D-4517.2 in chronic rat and dog studies has already been well established with subcutaneous dosing. The oral pharmacokinetics (PK) of D-4517.2 in rats has been investigated (Example 2) where the SNAC containing formulations showed oral bioavailability ranging from approximately 16% to 53%. The aim of this study is to determine the oral PK of D-4517.2 in rats.
[0446] Experimental design is described in Table 10, and formulation ingredients are shown in Table 11.Table 10. Experimental Design and Study Groups* For group 7 only: SNAC was sourced from DRL, however, for rest of groups, SNAC (if used) was procured from AK Scientific, CA.Table 11. Formulations* D-4517.2: SNAC (1:6) - Fl: Formulation was prepared by absorbing D-4517.2 on Prosolv-730 followed by addition of SNAC.** D-4517.2: SNAC (1:6) - F2: Formulation was prepared by mixing D-4517.2 and SNAC followed by adsorption of D-4517.2: SNAC mixture on Prosolv-730.
[0447] Male Sprague Dawley rats were received from an approved vendor and allowed to acclimate to the Test Facility for at least 2 days. All animals were fasted overnight. Food was returned approximately 4 hours post dose, after the 4 hour blood collection.
[0448] Capsules were administered orally via appropriately sized capsule dosing apparatus for 9EL capsules according to Test Facility Guidance documents. Group 4 and 5 animals received 1, the rest of the groups received 2 capsules with 2-5 minutes in between each capsule dose. Each dosing was followed by an oral gavage flush of ~0.5 -1.0 mL of water.
[0449] The following parameters and endpoints were evaluated in this study: mortality, clinical observations, and body weights. Animal body weights were collected prior to dosing. All serial bleeds w7ere scheduled based on the time of the first dose. Serial blood samples were collected via sublingual vein or by another approved method. The method of each collection was recorded. Blood samples were collected into K2EDTA tubes and stored on wet ice until processed. Whole blood samples were processed to plasma by centrifugation (3500rpm for 10 minutes at 5°C) within 30 minutes of collection. Plasma was transferred into cluster tubes and stored at -80°C until transferred. The cellular fraction was discarded.Samples were shipped on dry ice for analysis.Table 12. Individual Dose Administration*Time elapsed between capsule doses was 5.37 minutes **Time elapsed between capsule doses was 9.40 minutes
[0450] Bioanalysis
[0451] Approximately 250 pL of blood sample (from each animal, from the sublingual vein) was collected into K2ED TA tubes and stored on wet ice until processed. Blood was collected for all groups at 0.5-, 2-, 4-, 8-, and 24-hours post dose. Whole blood samples were processed to plasma by centrifugation (3500rpm for 10 minutes at 5°C) within 30 minutes of collection. Plasma was transferred into cluster tubes and stored at -80°C until transferred. The cellular fraction was discarded. Samples were shipped on dry ice for analysis.
[0452] Plasma D-4517.2 concentrations were determined using a qualified LC / MS / MS assay with a lower limit of quantification of 0.05 to 0.25 pg / mL. The plasma concentration graph is shown in FIG. 19. Group 2 showed a similar bioavailability compared to the rat study of Example 2. There was no significant difference observed between different source(s) of SNAC, but the 1 :6 SNAC formulation of Group 2 performed better than the 1 :6 SNAC formulation of Group 1. The formulation of Group 6 showed good exposure, and the sodium caprate containing formulation of Group 3 appeared to perform similarly to SNAC groups.
[0453] Conclusions
[0454] This study evaluated the oral PK of D-4517.2 in rats when administered capsules containing various formulations. A number of changes were made to the formulations from the oral PK study of Example 2: 1) the order of addition of formulation ingredients, 2) the manufacturing source of SNAC, 3) the use of different permeability enhancers, and 4) the use of new formulations containing lipiodol excipients.
[0455] The results surprisingly showed that the order of ingredient addition to prepare the formulation is critical for optimal exposure. Increased exposure was observed with the Group2 formulation, prepared by addition of drug to permeability enhancer (PE) followed by adsorption of Drug:PE mixture to a earner, as compared to the Group 1 formulation, which was prepared by absorbing drug on carrier followed by addition of PE. Group 6 containing Capmul exhibited favorable bioavailability, and all formulations containing PE or lipoidal excipients performed better than those without. Minimal impact on exposure was observed bychanging the source(s) of SNAC. Formulations containing PE (SNAC, Sodium Caprate) and Lipid (Capmul) showed favorable results.Example 5
[0456] Test Article Migaldendranib (D-45I7.2) was designed to target ocular inflammation and inhibit angiogenesis in neovascular ocular diseases such neovascular (wet) age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema (DME). D-4517.2 was renally excreted due to its size (~19 kDa; 4 nm) and lack of plasma protein binding. Historically, wet AMD and DME were treated with anti-VEGF therapies (such as aflibercept and ranibizumab) through direct injection into the vitreous of the eye. These approaches require aseptic techniques and a trained retinal ophthalmologist to administer the drug. The administration of anti-VEGF therapies by direct injection to the eye creates a large burden on the patients and treating retinal ophthalmologists due to the frequency of injection (every 4 to 12 weeks) and the increasing number of wet AMD and DME patients.
[0457] D-4517.2 has been evaluated as a systemic therapy, which has reduced choroidal neovascular lesions after a single subcutaneous injection to a comparable or greater extent than an intravitreal injection of aflibercept (scaled from human dose) in a mouse model of wet AMD. Safety in chronic rat and dog studies has already been well established with subcutaneous dosing.
[0458] The objective of this non-GLP study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of different formulations of a single oral dose of D-4517.2 in non-naive, fasted Beagle dogs. Additionally, one group received an oral dose of D-4517.2 administered three times at two- hour intervals, for a total of three (3) doses.
