INHIBITING CATECHOL-O-METHYLTRANSFERASE (COMT)CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This patent application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 650,745 filed May 22, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 714,938, filed November 1, 2024, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present disclosure relates to compounds and methods for inhibiting catechol-O- methyltransferase (COMT). Some COMT inhibitor compounds have been approved for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.BACKGROUND
[0003] The enzyme catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) acts on physiological catechol substrates such as dopa, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine and related hydroxylated metabolites, by catalyzing the transfer of the methyl group of S-adenosyl-L-methionine to the phenolic group of these substrates to form corresponding methyl ethers, leading to the elimination of biologically active catechols and some other hydroxylated metabolites. COMT is a magnesium dependent enzyme involved in the degradation of neurotransmitters in the brain, that exists in two forms; a soluble form (S-COMT) and a membrane bound form (MB-COMT).
[0004] As a key enzyme in dopamine metabolism, catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) has emerged as an attractive target for the treatment of various central and peripheral nervous systems disorders, including MDD, Parkinson’s disease, and other dopamine-related disorders. Two forms of COMT exist, a soluble form (S-COMT) in peripheral tissues, and a membranebound form (MB-COMT), mainly expressed in the brain. Current COMT inhibitors in the clinic contain a nitrocatechol moiety that is associated with poor brain penetration and toxicity.
[0005] Co-administration of a COMT inhibitor with Levodopa (L-DOPA), a precursor of dopamine, and an aromatic amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) inhibitor, increases the half-life of L-DOPA in vivo. Levodopa (L-DOPA) is administered to Parkinson's disease patients to boost the levels of dopamine in the brain. Since dopamine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, L- DOPA is administered in its place and is transported into the brain and subsequently processed to dopamine. In the presence of a decarboxylase inhibitor, COMT becomes the majormetabolizing enzyme for L-DOPA, catalyzing the metabolism to 3-methoxy-4-hydroxy-L phenylalanine (3-OMD) in the brain and periphery. COMT plays a role in the metabolism of dopamine precursor levodopa (1-3 ,4-di hydroxyphenylalanine, or L-DOPA). A COMT inhibitor can alter the plasma pharmacokinetics of L-DOPA. When a COMT inhibitor is administered to a patient in need thereof in combination with levodopa, plasma levels of levodopa can be more sustained than after administration of levodopa and an aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor alone. It is believed that at a given frequency of levodopa administration, these more sustained plasma levels of levodopa result in more constant dopaminergic stimulation in the brain, leading to greater effects on the signs and symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
[0006] Therapies for inhibiting COMT are believed to be useful for the treatment of certain diseases including Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). MDD is a debilitating often recurring disorder with a substantial lifetime risk and a high societal cost. Depressed patients frequently display a variety of co-morbid symptoms, and depression is often a feature of other neuropsychiatric disorders. The heterogeneity of MDD is well -documented and the multiple central mechanisms implicated in the control of mood and motivation underlie the need for multiple therapeutic approaches. Currently available drugs display limited efficacy and a slow onset of action, and are hampered by unwanted side effects. Traditional antidepressant drugs act through serotonergic and noradrenergic systems, and although newer drugs acting through glutamatergic systems show some promise, there remains considerable unmet need for improved medications. Central dopaminergic systems are an attractive alternative target, considering the involvement of dopamine in reward, anhedonia, and related functions. COMT is a key dopamine metabolizing enzyme, and elevated COMT activity may be associated with MDD. Notably, the COMT inhibitor (COMTi) tolcapone improved Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression scores in patients with MDD, despite poor brain penetration. The nitrocatechol group present in all currently available COMTis likely contributes to toxicity and poor brain penetration that severely limits their use. Novel compounds that are potent, selective, brain-penetrant, and safer are needed to fully exploit the benefits of COMTis as alternative treatments for MDD.
[0007] Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious, debilitating, and often recurring disorder with a substantial lifetime risk and a high societal cost. Depressed patients frequently display a variety of co-morbid symptoms, including depressed moods, loss of motivation and / or reductions in the ability to experience pleasure(anhedonia), loss of interest and energy, combined withpsychological and vegetative changes such as sleep and / or appetite disturbances, fatigue, feelings of guilt and despair, difficulties in maintaining mental focus, and recurrent thoughts of suicide. MDD often occurs together with other common illnesses, including both physical and psychiatric disorders. Currently available antidepressant drugs display limited efficacy, slow onset of action, and are hampered by unwanted side effects. Traditional antidepressant drugs act through serotonergic and noradrenergic systems. Although newer drugs acting through glutamatergic systems show some promise, there remains considerable unmet need for improved medications. Central dopaminergic systems have been identified as an alternative target, particularly through the involvement of dopamine in reward, anhedonia, and related functions. Indeed, several clinical studies demonstrate benefit with direct and indirect dopamine agonists in MDD.
[0008] While multiple inhibitors of COMT such as tolcapone and entacapone have been developed and approved for treatment of Parkinson's disease, entacapone has negligible brain penetration and tolcapone has been associated with liver injury and requires liver function monitoring. New COMT inhibiting compounds with improved brain penetration should have greater efficacy for Parkinson's disease, as well as have utility for other psychiatric and neurological conditions such as cognitive impairment in schizophrenia.
[0009] Accordingly, there remains a need for brain penetrating inhibitors of COMT and methods of using the same to treat central nervous system disorders.SUMMARY

Optimization of the appropriate dosages can readily be made by one skilled in the art in light of pharmacokinetic data observed in human clinical trials. Alteratively, or additionally, the dosage to be administered can be determined from studies using animal models for the particular type ofcondition to be treated, and / or from animal or human data obtained from agents which are known to exhibit similar pharmacological activities. The final dosage regimen will be determined by the attending surgeon or physician, considering various factors which modify the action of active agent, e.g., the agent’s specific activity, the agent’s specific half-life in vivo, the severity of the condition and the responsiveness of the patient, the age, condition, body weight, sex and diet of the patient, the severity of any present infection, time of administration, the use (or not) of other concomitant therapies, and other clinical factors.[000195] The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in humans. The dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the IC50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of use or administration utilized. The effective dose can be estimated initially from cell culture assays. A dose can be formulated in animal models to achieve a circulating plasma concentration range that includes the IC«o (i.e., the concentration of the therapeutic which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Levels in plasma can be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography. The effects of any particular dosage can be monitored by a suitable bioassay.[000196] It will be appreciated that methods of treatment of the present invention can be employed in combination with additional therapies. For example, a treatment according to the present disclosure can be co-administered with one or more desired therapeutics or medical procedures for treating a COMT-mediated disease or disorder.Administration of COMT Inhibitor to a Patient Receiving L-DOPA[000197] In some embodiments, a method of treatment comprises administering a compound of Formula (I), Formula (I-A), Formula (I-A-l), Formula (I-A-2), Formula (I-B), Formula (I-B-l), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), Formula (IV-A), Formula (V), Formula (V-A-l), Formula (V-A-2), Formula (V-B), Formula (V-B-l), Formula (V-C), Formula (V-D), Formula (V-E), or Formula (VI) to a patient in need thereof as an adjunct to levodopa and carbidopa for the treatment of the signs and symptoms of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease.[000198] In some embodiments, a method of treatment comprises administering a compound of Formula (I), Formula (I-A), Formula (I-A-l), Formula (I-A-2), Formula (I-B), Formula (I_B-1),Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), Formula (IV-A), Formula (V), Formula (V-A-l), Formula (V-A-2), Formula (V-B), Formula (V-B-l), Formula (V-C), Formula (V-D), Formula (V-E), or Formula (VI)to a patient in need thereof receiving concomitant levodopa therapy with carbidopa or another aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitor who experienced end of dose wearing-off phenomena as well as in patients who did not experience such phenomena.

The highest activities are in the liver and kidney. COMT also occurs in the heart, lung, smooth and skeletal muscles, intestinal tract, reproductive organs, various glands, adipose tissue, skin, blood cells and neuronal tissues, especially in glial cells. COMT catalyzes the transfer of the methyl group of S- adenosyl-L-methionine to the phenolic group of substrates that contain a catechol structure. Physiological substrates of COMT include dopa, catecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine) and their hydroxylated metabolites. The function of COMT is the elimination of biologically active catechols and some other hydroxylated metabolites.

In some embodiments, a method of treatment comprises a comparison between treatments in the change from baseline in the amount of time spent “On” (a period of relatively good functioning) and “Off” (a period of relatively poor functioning). Patients recorded periodically, throughout the duration of the treatment period, the time spent in each of these states.[000207] In some methods of treatment, patients can also be assessed using sub-parts of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), a frequently used multi-item rating scale intended to evaluate mentation (Part I), activities of daily living (Part II), motor function (Part III), complications of therapy (Part IV), and disease staging (Parts V and VI); an Investigator’s Global Assessment of Change (IGA), a subjective scale designed to assess global functioning in 5 areas of Parkinson’s disease; the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP), a multi-item scale in 12 domains designed to assess the patient’s functioning in multiple areas; and the change in daily levodopa / carbidopa dose.Administration of COMT Inhibitor to Treat MDD[000208] In some embodiments, a method of treating MDD comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of Formula (I), Formula (I-A), Formula (I-A-l), Formula (I-A-2), Formula (I-B), Formula (I-B-l), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), Formula (IV-A), Formula (V), Formula (V-A-l), Formula (V-A-2), Formula (V-B), Formula (V- B-l), Formula (V-C), Formula (V-D), Formula (V-E), or Formula (VI)to a patient in need thereof. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a serious, debilitating, and often recurring disorder with a substantial lifetime risk and a high societal cost. Depressed patients frequently display a variety of co-morbid symptoms, including depressed moods, loss of motivation and / or reductions in the ability to experience pleasure (anhedonia), loss of interest and energy, combined with psychological and vegetative changes such as sleep and / or appetite disturbances, fatigue, feelings of guilt and despair, difficulties in maintaining mental focus, and recurrent thoughts of suicide. MDD often occurs together with other common illnesses, including both physical and psychiatric disorders. Currently available antidepressant drugs display limited efficacy, slow onset of action, and are hampered by unwanted side effects. Traditional antidepressant drugs act through serotonergic and noradrenergic systems. Although newer drugs acting through glutamatergicsystems show some promise, there remains considerable unmet need for improved medications. Central dopaminergic systems have been identified as an alternative target, particularly through the involvement of dopamine in reward, anhedonia, and related functions.[000209] Elevated COMT activity has been reported in patients with MDD. A functional polymorphism in COMT gene (Val508 / 158Met) produces a high activity enzyme (Vai), which has been linked to lower cognitive function. The Vai 108 / 158Met polymorphism has also been associated with depression, with the low activity Met allele increased in depressive patients. However, these findings have been contested by others. It is now well-established that the Val / Val genotype is associated with early onset of MDD, and conferred a significant risk of poorer response to treatment with antidepressants in MDD. In contrast, the Met allele has [000210] been associated with a faster therapeutic effect of milnacipran (serotonin / noradrenaline uptake inhibitor).40 For non-motor, cognitive enhancing effects, there is evidence suggesting that a brain-penetrant COMT inhibitor might be beneficial. Tolcapone — the only brain-penetrant nitrocatechol — has been found to improve the attend onal task, auditory verbal short-term memory, visuo-spatial recall, constructional praxia and motor symptoms in PD patients. Tolcapone was also evaluated in patients with MDD, as diagnosed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV and a 316 score in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D-17). After 8 weeks of treatment, there was significant decrease at endpoint in HAM-D- 17 scores. While this preliminary study suggests that tolcapone may be a promising agent for the treatment of MDD, current COMT inhibitors, all of which contain a disadvantageous nitrocatechol group, have poor brain penetration and may induce toxicity, which can severely limit their use. Therefore, potent, brain-penetrant, and safer compounds are needed to fully exploit the benefits of COMT inhibitors as alternative therapies, particularly lacking the problematic nitrocatechol scaffold. Given that tolcapone is equally active at S- and MB-COMT, and that MB-COMT selective inhibitors do not potentiate DA to the same extent, preferred compounds of Formula (I), Formula (I-A), Formula (I-A-l), Formula (I-A-2), Formula (I-B), Formula (I-B-l), Formula (II), Formula (III), Formula (IV), Formula (IV-A), Formula (V), Formula (V- A- 1), Formula (V-A-2), Formula (V-B), Formula (V-B-l ), Formula (V-C), Formula (V-D), Formula (V-E), or Formula (Vl)are those with equivalent activity at both subtypes.

COMT is a ubiquitous enzyme that exists in two forms: a soluble form (S- COMT), present in central and peripheral tissues (abundant in liver and kidney), and a membrane-bound form (MB-COMT), mainly expressed in the brain, which differ in 50 extra amino acids at the amino end of MB-COMT. Inhibition of S-COMT by second (entacapone, tolcapone) and third generation (opicapone) COMT inhibitors of the nitrocatechol family has been crucial for enhancing the efficacy of levodopa, which is the most efficacious drug for the treatment of motor symptoms of PD, by blocking COMT -dependent degradation of L-DOPA in peripheral tissuesDefinitions[000220] Unless otherwise defined herein, scientific and technical terms used in this application shall have the meanings that are commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the art.[000221] For convenience, certain terms employed herein, in the specification, examples and appended claims are collected herein.
