- 1 - FOXN1 ACTIVATORS BACKGROUND Field
[0001] The present disclosure provides compounds that are FOXN1 activators. FOXN1 activators are useful for promoting thymus regeneration, immune reconstitution, promoting skin wound healing, and / or augmenting hair growth in a subject in need thereof. Background
[0002] The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system that facilitates maturation of T cells, which play a central role in the adaptive immune response. Although the thymus constantly undergoes acute stresses and regeneration cycles, it undergoes age-related involution over time, and is very sensitive to insults, e.g., infections, stress, and cytoreductive therapies. Thymus dysfunction resulting from any of these factors can lead to immunodeficiency and a general increase in mortality.
[0003] FOXN1 is a transcription factor that regulates thymic epithelial cell development and thymus organogenesis. FOXN1 deficiency is known to disrupt thymic architecture and thymic T cell development, while administration of recombinant FOXN1 protein to mice increases thymic epithelial cell development. Thus, compounds that promote FOXN1 expression, i.e., FOXN1 activators, may be useful in promoting thymus regeneration, immune reconstitution, skin wound healing, and / or augmenting hair growth.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need in the art for compounds that are FOXN1 activators. BRIEF SUMMARY

Additionally, in situations where tautomers of the Compounds of the Disclosure are possible, the present disclosure is intended to include all tautomeric forms of the compounds.
[0411] The present disclosure encompasses the preparation and use of salts of Compounds of the Disclosure, including pharmaceutically acceptable salts. As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to non-toxic salt forms of Compounds of the Disclosure. See e.g., Gupta et al., Molecules 23:1719 (2018). Salts of Compounds of the Disclosure can be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting the compound with an acid having a suitable cation. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Compounds of the Disclosure can be acid addition salts formed with pharmaceutically acceptable acids. Examples of acids which can be employed to form pharmaceutically acceptable salts include inorganic acids such as nitric, boric, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, and phosphoric, and organic acids such as oxalic, maleic, succinic, and citric. Nonlimiting examples of salts of compounds of the disclosure include, but are not limited to, the hydrochloride, hydrobromide, hydroiodide, sulfate, bisulfate, 2-hydroxyethansulfonate, phosphate, hydrogen phosphate, acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, glycerolphsphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, formate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, ascorbate, isethionate, salicylate, methanesulfonate, mesitylenesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3-phenylproprionate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, trichloroacetate, trifluoroacetate, phosphate, glutamate, bicarbonate, paratoluenesulfonate, undecanoate, lactate, citrate, tartrate, gluconate, methanesulfonate, ethanedisulfonate, benzene sulfonate, and p-toluenesulfonate salts.

[0412] The present disclosure also encompasses the preparation and use of solvates of Compounds of the Disclosure. Solvates typically do not significantly alter the physiological activity or toxicity of the compounds, and as such may function as pharmacological equivalents. The term “solvate” as used herein is a combination, physical association and / or solvation of a compound of the present disclosure with a solvent molecule such as, e.g. a disolvate, monosolvate or hemisolvate, where the ratio of solvent molecule to compound of the present disclosure is about 2:1, about 1:1 or about 1:2, respectively. This physical association involves varying degrees of ionic and covalent bonding, including hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, the solvate can be isolated, such as when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. Thus, “solvate” encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Compounds of the Disclosure can be present as solvated forms with a pharmaceutically acceptable solvent, such as water, methanol, and ethanol, and it is intended that the disclosure includes both solvated and unsolvated forms of Compounds of the Disclosure. One type of solvate is a hydrate. A “hydrate” relates to a particular subgroup of solvates where the solvent molecule is water. Solvates typically can function as pharmacological equivalents. Preparation of solvates is known in the art. See, for example, M. Caira et al, J. Pharmaceut. Sci., 93(3):601-611 (2004), which describes the preparation of solvates of fluconazole with ethyl acetate and with water. Similar preparation of solvates, hemisolvates, hydrates, and the like are described by E.C. van Tonder et al., AAPS Pharm. Sci. Tech., 5(1):Article 12 (2004), and A.L. Bingham et al., Chem. Commun.603-604 (2001). A typical, non-limiting, process of preparing a solvate would involve dissolving a Compound of the Disclosure in a desired solvent (organic, water, or a mixture thereof) at temperatures above 20°C to about 25°C, then cooling the solution at a rate sufficient to form crystals, and isolating the crystals by known methods, e.g., filtration. Analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy can be used to confirm the presence of the solvent in a crystal of the solvate.- 101 -
