Description
Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO ERGOLINE DERIVATIVES AND USES THEREOF CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 643,995, filed May 8, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 5 FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, and methods useful for the treatment of diseases and disorders, including pain. Also provided are compounds, compositions, and methods useful for modulating serotonin receptors. BACKGROUND 10
[0003] Serotonin receptors, also known as 5-HT receptors or 5-hydroxytryptamine receptors, are classified into seven types: 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6, and 5-HT7. Serotonin receptors influence behavioral, neuronal, and physiological processes, and regulation of serotonin receptors are implicated in many diseases and disorders. A number of ergoline compounds are known to modulate serotonin receptors, e.g., function as agonists or antagonists 15 for neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, noradrenaline, and serotonin, at these receptors. Many ergoline compounds, including naturally occurring, synthetic, and semi-synthetic structures, bind nonspecifically to serotonin receptors. Additionally, ergoline compounds such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) are known to have psychoactive effects (e.g., hallucinations), in addition to physiological effects. 20
[0004] Accordingly, there is a need for developing safe and effective ergoline compounds and / or ergoline derivatives that modulate serotonin receptors (e.g., selectively modulate serotonin receptors) for the treatment of diseases and disorders (e.g., pain), and that have minimal or no side effects (e.g., hallucinations). SUMMARY 25

[0013] Disclosed herein, in some embodiments, is a compound disclosed herein or a composition disclosed herein, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease or disorder (e.g., a serotonin receptor-mediated disease or disorder). DETAILED DESCRIPTION 5
[0014] As generally described herein, the present disclosure provides compounds (e.g., compounds of Formula A, Formula B, and Formula C, and subformulas thereof; compounds of Table 1, Table 2, and Table 3; and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof) and compositions designed, for example, to act as serotonin receptor modulators. The compounds and compositions disclosed herein are useful for treating a disease or disorder (e.g., pain). The 10 present disclosure also features methods for synthesizing compounds and compositions useful for treating a disease or disorder (e.g., pain). Definitions
[0015] As used herein, the following terms are generally intended to have the meanings as described below, unless expressly indicated otherwise or the context in which they are used 15 indicates otherwise. Unless defined otherwise, the terms used herein have meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the areas related to the present disclosure.
[0016] As used herein, the terms “a,” “an,” and “the” refer to one or to more than one, unless context indicates otherwise. Similarly, the term “or” is intended to include “and”, unless context indicates otherwise. 20
[0017] As used herein, the term “about”, unless specifically mentioned otherwise, or unless a person skilled in the art would have understood otherwise, is considered to cover a range of ±10% of the listed value(s). It is further noted that any value provided may also be considered to cover a range of ±10% of that value, even without the use of the term “about”.
[0018] The terms “disease,” “disorder,” and “condition” are used interchangeably herein. 25
[0019] As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to an amount sufficient to elicit the desired biological response, e.g., to treat a disease or disorder (e.g., a serotonin receptor- mediated disease or disorder). As will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in this art, the effective amount of a compound disclosed herein may vary depending on such factors as the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, 30 the mode of administration, and the age, weight, health, and condition of the subject. An effective amount encompasses therapeutic and prophylactic treatment. As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “therapeutically effective amount” of a compound is an amount 4 ACTIVE / 137605080.1Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition, or symptoms thereof or to delay or minimize one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or condition, or symptoms thereof. A therapeutically effective amount of a compound means an amount of therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other therapies, which 5 provides a therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the disease, disorder, or condition, or symptoms thereof. The term “therapeutically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall therapy, reduces or avoids symptoms or causes of disease or condition, or enhances the therapeutic efficacy of another therapeutic agent. As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a “prophylactically effective amount” of a compound is an amount 10 sufficient to prevent a disease, disorder, or condition, or symptoms thereof (e.g., one or more symptoms associated with the disease, disorder, or condition), or prevent its recurrence. A prophylactically effective amount of a compound means an amount of a therapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other agents, which provides a prophylactic benefit in the prevention of the disease, disorder or condition, or symptoms thereof. The term 15 “prophylactically effective amount” can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic efficacy of another prophylactic agent.
[0020] As used herein, the term “modulation” refers to the inhibition or potentiation of serotonin receptor function. A “modulator” (e.g., a modulator compound) may be, for example, an agonist, partial agonist, antagonist, or partial antagonist of the serotonin receptor. 20
[0021] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved or approvable by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or the corresponding agency in countries other than the United States, or that is listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia or other generally recognized pharmacopoeia for use in animals, and more particularly, in humans. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to a salt of a compound disclosed herein that is 25 pharmaceutically acceptable. In particular, such salts include salts of the compounds disclosed herein that are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases (e.g., inorganic or organic acid addition salts and base addition salts). When compounds contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. 30 When compounds contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Some compounds contain both basic and acidic functionalities that allow the compounds to be converted into either base or acid addition salts. Exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable salts are found, e.g., in Berge, et al. (J. Pharm. Sci. 5 ACTIVE / 137605080.1Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO 1977, 66(1), 1; and Gould, P.L., Int. J. Pharmaceutics 1986, 33, 201-217, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
[0022] The term “modulating serotonin receptor”, as used herein, refers to the ability of a compound disclosed herein to alter the function of serotonin receptor(s). A serotonin receptor 5 modulator may activate the activity of a serotonin receptor, may activate or inhibit the activity of a serotonin receptor depending on the concentration of the compound exposed to the serotonin receptor, or may inhibit the activity of a serotonin receptor. Such activation or inhibition may be contingent on the occurrence of a specific event, such as activation of a signal transduction pathway, and / or maybe manifest only in particular cell types. The term 10 “modulating serotonin receptor,” also refers to altering the function of a serotonin receptor by increasing or decreasing the probability that a complex forms between a serotonin receptor and a natural binding partner to form a multimer. A serotonin receptor modulator may increase the probability that such a complex forms between the serotonin receptor and the natural binding partner, may increase or decrease the probability that a complex forms between the serotonin 15 receptor and the natural binding partner depending on the concentration of the compound exposed to the serotonin receptor, and or may decrease the probability that a complex forms between the serotonin receptor and the natural binding partner.
[0023] As used herein, the term “serotonin receptor-mediated disease” or “serotonin receptor- mediated disorder” refers to a disease or disorder in which serotonin receptor(s) plays a role. 20 A serotonin receptor-mediated disease or disorder may be completely or partially mediated by modulating serotonin receptor(s). In particular, a serotonin receptor-mediated disease or disorder is one in which modulation of serotonin receptor(s) results in some effect on the underlying disease or disorder (e.g., administration of a serotonin receptor modulator results in improvement in the disease or disorder, or symptoms thereof). In some embodiments, a 25 serotonin receptor-mediated disease is characterized by abnormal serotonin receptor activity.
[0024] As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to forms of the compound that are associated with a solvent or water (also referred to as “hydrate”), usually by a solvolysis reaction. This physical association includes hydrogen bonding. Conventional solvents include water, ethanol, acetic acid, and the like. The compounds disclosed herein may be prepared, e.g., in crystalline 30 form and may be solvated or hydrated. Suitable solvates include pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, such as hydrates, and further include both stoichiometric solvates and non- stoichiometric solvates. In some embodiments, the solvate will be capable of isolation, for example when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated in the crystal lattice of the 6 ACTIVE / 137605080.1Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO crystalline solid. “Solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolable solvates. Representative solvates include hydrates, ethanolates, and methanolates.
[0025] As used herein, the term “subject”, to which administration is contemplated, includes, but is not limited to, humans (i.e., a male or female of any age group, e.g., a pediatric subject 5 (e.g., infant, child, adolescent) or adult subject (e.g., young adult, middle–aged adult or senior adult)) and / or a non-human animal, e.g., a mammal such as primates (e.g., cynomolgus monkeys, rhesus monkeys), cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, rodents, cats, and / or dogs. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject is a non-human animal. The terms “human,” “patient,” and “subject” are used interchangeably herein. 10
[0026] The terms “substantially pure” and “isolated”, as may be used interchangeably herein describe a compound, which has been separated from components that naturally accompany it. Typically, a compound is substantially pure when at least 60%, more preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, or 98%, and most preferably at least 99% of the total material (by volume, by wet or dry weight, or by mole percent or mole fraction) in a 15 sample is the compound of interest. Purity can be measured by any appropriate method, e.g., chromatography, gel electrophoresis or HPLC analysis. Selected Chemical Definitions
[0027] The abbreviations used herein have their conventional meaning within the chemical and biological arts. The chemical structures and formulas set forth herein are constructed according 20 to the standard rules of chemical valency known in the chemical arts.
[0028] Definitions of specific functional groups and chemical terms are described in more detail below. The chemical elements are identified in accordance with the Periodic Table of the Elements, CAS version, Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 75thEd., inside cover, and specific functional groups are generally defined as described therein. Additionally, general 25 principles of organic chemistry, as well as specific functional moieties and reactivity, are described in Thomas Sorrell, Organic Chemistry, University Science Books, Sausalito, 1999; Smith and March, March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry, 5thEdition, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 2001; Larock, Comprehensive Organic Transformations, VCH Publishers, Inc., New York, 1989; and Carruthers, Some Modern Methods of Organic Synthesis, 3rdEdition, 30 Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1987.
[0029] As used herein, the term “isomers” refers to compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space. Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed 7 ACTIVE / 137605080.1Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO “stereoisomers.” Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of one another are termed “diastereomers” and those that are non–superimposable mirror images of each other are termed “enantiomers.” When a compound has an asymmetric center, for example, it is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the 5 absolute configuration of its asymmetric center and is described by the R– and S–sequencing rules of Cahn and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (–)–isomers respectively). A chiral compound can exist as either individual enantiomer or as a mixture thereof. A mixture containing equal proportions of the enantiomers is called a “racemic mixture”. Isomers, e.g., 10 stereoisomers, 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 preferred isomers 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 15 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, IN 1972). The disclosure additionally encompasses compounds described herein as individual isomers substantially free of other isomers, and alternatively, as mixtures of various isomers.
[0030] As used herein, a pure enantiomeric compound is substantially free from other 20 enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound (i.e., in enantiomeric excess). In other words, an “S” form of the compound is substantially free from the “R” form of the compound and is, thus, in enantiomeric excess of the “R” form. The term “enantiomerically pure” or “pure enantiomer” denotes that the compound comprises more than 75% by weight, more than 80% by weight, more than 85% by weight, more than 90% by weight, more than 91% by weight, 25 more than 92% by weight, more than 93% by weight, more than 94% by weight, more than 95% by weight, more than 96% by weight, more than 97% by weight, more than 98% by weight, more than 98.5% by weight, more than 99% by weight, more than 99.2% by weight, more than 99.5% by weight, more than 99.6% by weight, more than 99.7% by weight, more than 99.8% by weight or more than 99.9% by weight, of the enantiomer. In some embodiments, the weights 30 are based upon total weight of all enantiomers or stereoisomers of the compound.
[0031] In the compositions provided herein, an enantiomerically pure compound can be present with other active or inactive ingredients. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure R–position / center / carbon compound can comprise, for example, about 90% excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure R–compound. In some 8 ACTIVE / 137605080.1Attorney Docket No.: CYBP-003WO embodiments, the enantiomerically pure R–compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight R–compound and at most about 5% by weight S– compound, by total weight of the compound. For example, a pharmaceutical composition comprising enantiomerically pure S–compound can comprise, for example, about 90% 5 excipient and about 10% enantiomerically pure S–compound. In some embodiments, the enantiomerically pure S–compound in such compositions can, for example, comprise, at least about 95% by weight S–compound and at most about 5% by weight R–compound, by total weight of the compound. In some embodiments, the active ingredient can be formulated with little or no excipient or carrier. 10
[0032] As used herein, the term “tautomers” refer to compounds that are interchangeable forms of a particular compound structure, and that vary in the displacement of hydrogen atoms and electrons. Thus, two structures may be in equilibrium through the movement of π electrons and an atom (usually H). For example, enols and ketones are tautomers because they are rapidly interconverted by treatment with either acid or base. Another example of tautomerism 15 is the aci– and nitro– forms of phenylnitromethane, that are likewise formed by treatment with acid or base. Tautomeric forms may be relevant to the attainment of the optimal chemical reactivity and biological activity of a compound of interest.
[0033] When a range of values is listed, it is intended to encompass each value and sub–range within the range. For example “C1–C6alkyl” is intended to encompass, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6,20 C1–C6, C1–C5, C1–C4, C1–C3, C1–C2, C2–C6, C2–C5, C2–C4, C2–C3, C3–C6, C3–C5, C3–C4, C4– C6, C4–C5, and C5–C6alkyl.

Additional examples of alkyl groups include n–heptyl (C7), n– octyl (C8) and the like. Unless otherwise specified, each instance of an alkyl group is independently optionally substituted, i.e., unsubstituted (an “unsubstituted alkyl”) or substituted (a “substituted alkyl”) with one or more substituents; e.g., for instance from 1 to 5 substituents, 1 to 3 substituents, or 1 substituent. In some embodiments, the alkyl group is 10 unsubstituted C1–C10alkyl (e.g., –CH3). In some embodiments, the alkyl group is substituted C1–C10 alkyl. Common alkyl abbreviations include –Me (–CH3), –Et (–CH2CH3), –iPr (– CH(CH3)2), –nPr (–CH2CH2CH3), –nBu (–CH2CH2CH2CH3), –iBu (–CH2CH(CH3)2), –sBu (– CH(CH3)(CH2CH3)), and –tBu (–C(CH3)3).
[0036] “Hydroxyalkyl” refers to an alkyl group, as defined above, wherein one or more (e.g., 15 one, two, three, four, or five) of the hydrogen atoms are independently replaced with a hydroxyl group (–OH). Exemplary hydroxyalkyl groups include –CH2OH, –CH2CH2OH, –C(CH3)2OH and the like.
[0037] “Heterocyclyl” refers to a radical of a non–aromatic ring system having ring carbon atoms and one or more (e.g., 1 to 6, 1 to 5, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, 1 to 2, or 1) ring heteroatoms, wherein 20 each heteroatom is independently selected from nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), and sulfur (S). In heterocyclyl groups that contain one or more nitrogen atoms, the point of attachment can be a carbon or nitrogen atom, as valency permits. A heterocyclyl group can either be monocyclic (“monocyclic heterocyclyl”) or a bicyclic system (“bicyclic heterocyclyl”), e.g., a fused, bridged, or spiro ring system, and can be saturated or can be partially unsaturated. Heterocyclyl 25 bicyclic ring systems can include one or more heteroatoms in one or both rings. A heterocyclyl group may be described as, e.g., a 3-10 membered heterocyclyl, wherein the term “membered” refers to the non-hydrogen ring atoms, i.e., carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, within the moiety.
