Description

PYRIDAZINONE PHOSPHATE COMPOUNDS, PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS, AND MEDICAL USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority to United States provisional patent application no.63 / 654,642, filed May 31, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The invention provides pyridazinone phosphate compounds, pharmaceuticalcompositions, and methods of use thereof, such as in inhibiting a TRPC5 and / or treating or preventing a psychiatric condition or other condition. BACKGROUND

[0003] Psychiatric conditions impact a significant portion of the population. Types of psychiatricconditions impacting a significant number of patients include (i) depression, (ii) post-traumatic stress disorder, (iii) anxiety disorders, which often feature an emotion characterized by the anticipation of future danger or misfortune, along with excessive worrying, and (v) seasonal affective disorder. Existing therapies for these conditions are not effective for all patients and / or can have adverse side effects. New therapies are needed to treat psychiatric conditions.

[0004] Proteinuria is a condition in which an excessive amount of protein in the blood leaks intothe urine. Proteinuria occurs when there is a malfunction in the kidney's glomeruli, causing fluid to accumulate in the body. Prolonged protein leakage has been shown to result in kidney failure. For patients who respond positively to treatments currently available on the market, the rate of relapse is high. For example, about ninety percent of children with Nephrotic Syndrome have been reported to respond to currently available treatments, but nearly seventy-five percent will relapse. There is a need for more effective methods of treating kidney disease, e.g., proteinuria.

[0005] Mammalian transient receptor potential cation channel (TRPC) proteins form six-transmembrane cation-permeable channels. TRP channels are involved in numerous fundamental cell functions and play an important role in the pathophysiology of many diseases, including psychiatric conditions and kidney disease. One subfamily of TRPC proteins is subfamily C, member 5 (TRPC5). WO 2020 / 061162, WO 2019 / 055966, and WO 2020 / 210639 describes 1 60701001.1various pyridazinone compounds as inhibitors of TRPC5 and medical uses for the same. Additional compounds that inhibit TRPC5 are needed to treat conditions and diseases, including psychiatric conditions and kidney disease.

[0006] The present invention addresses the foregoing need and provides other related advantages.SUMMARY

[0039] Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include allisomeric (e.g., enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational)) forms of the structure; for example, the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center, Z and E double bond isomers, and Z and E conformational isomers. Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as 11 60701001.1well as enantiomeric, diastereomeric, and geometric (or conformational) mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the invention. Unless otherwise stated, all tautomeric forms of the compounds of the invention are within the scope of the invention. The invention includes compounds that differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures including the replacement of hydrogen by deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by a13C- or14C-enriched carbon are within the scope of this invention. Such compounds are useful, for example, as analytical tools, as probes in biological assays, or as therapeutic agents in accordance with the present invention.

[0040] Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on thebasis of their physical chemical differences by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and / or fractional crystallization. Enantiomers can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher’s acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiomers. Alternatively, a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present invention may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis. Still further, where the molecule contains a basic functional group (such as amino) or an acidic functional group (such as carboxylic acid) diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically- active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic means known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers.

[0041] Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the invention may, for example, besubstantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. Chiral center(s) in a compound of the present invention can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations. Further, to the extent a compound described herein may exist as an atropisomer (e.g., substituted biaryls), all forms of such atropisomer are considered part of this invention.

In addition to the active ingredient, the liquid dosage forms may contain inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as, for example, water or other solvents, solubilizing agents and emulsifiers, such as ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, oils (in particular, cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols and fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof.[000113] Besides inert diluents, the oral compositions can also include adjuvants such as wettingagents, emulsifying and suspending agents, sweetening, flavoring, coloring, perfuming and preservative agents.[000114] Suspensions, in addition to the active compounds, may contain suspending agents as,for example, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohols, polyoxyethylene sorbitol and sorbitan esters, microcrystalline cellulose, aluminum metahydroxide, bentonite, agar-agar and tragacanth, and mixtures thereof.[000115] Formulations of the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention for rectal or vaginaladministration may be presented as a suppository, which may be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the invention with one or more suitable nonirritating excipients or carriers comprising, for example, cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, a suppository wax or a salicylate, and which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at body temperature and, therefore, will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.[000116] Formulations of the present invention which are suitable for vaginal administration alsoinclude pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams or spray formulations containing such carriers as are known in the art to be appropriate.[000117] Dosage forms for the topical or transdermal administration of a compound of thisinvention include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, solutions, patches and 28 60701001.1inhalants. The active compound may be mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically- acceptable carrier, and with any preservatives, buffers, or propellants which may be required.[000118] The ointments, pastes, creams and gels may contain, in addition to an active compoundof this invention, excipients, such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, silicic acid, talc and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof.[000119] Powders and sprays can contain, in addition to a compound of this invention, excipientssuch as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicates and polyamide powder, or mixtures of these substances. Sprays can additionally contain customary propellants, such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons and volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons, such as butane and propane.[000120] Transdermal patches have the added advantage of providing controlled delivery of acompound of the present invention to the body. Such dosage forms can be made by dissolving or dispersing the compound in the proper medium. Absorption enhancers can also be used to increase the flux of the compound across the skin. The rate of such flux can be controlled by either providing a rate controlling membrane or dispersing the compound in a polymer matrix or gel.[000121] Ophthalmic formulations, eye ointments, powders, solutions and the like, are alsocontemplated as being within the scope of this invention.[000122] Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention suitable for parenteral administrationcomprise one or more compounds of the invention in combination with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, or sterile powders which may be reconstituted into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use, which may contain sugars, alcohols, antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats, solutes which render the formulation isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient or suspending or thickening agents.[000123] Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers which may be employed in thepharmaceutical compositions of the invention include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils, such as olive oil, and injectable organic esters, such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be 29 60701001.1maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.[000124] These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents,emulsifying agents and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms upon the subject compounds may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents, such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like into the compositions. In addition, prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.[000125] In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of a drug, it is desirable to slow theabsorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material having poor water solubility. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution which, in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form. Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally- administered drug form is accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.[000126] Injectable depot forms are made by forming microencapsule matrices of the subjectcompounds in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending on the ratio of drug to polymer, and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations are also prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions which are compatible with body tissue.[000127] When the compounds of the present invention are administered as pharmaceuticals, tohumans and animals, they can be given per se or as a pharmaceutical composition containing, for example, 0.1 to 99% (more preferably, 10 to 30%) of active ingredient in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.[000128] The preparations of the present invention may be given orally, parenterally, topically,or rectally. They are of course given in forms suitable for each administration route. For example, they are administered in tablets or capsule form, by injection, inhalation, eye lotion, ointment, suppository, etc. administration by injection, infusion or inhalation; topical by lotion or ointment; and rectal by suppositories.
