[0001] INHIBITORS OF LIPOPROTEIN(a) ASSEMBLY CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 656,797, filed June 6, 2024, and U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 746,087, filed January 16, 2025, the contents of which are incorporated in their entireties. FIELD OF THE INVENTION Described herein are small molecule inhibitors of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) formation, methods of making such compounds, pharmaceutical compositions and medicaments comprising such compounds, and methods of using such compounds in the treatment of diseases or disorders that would benefit from inhibition of Lp(a) formation. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a lipid-carrying particle composed of a low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-like particle containing apolipoprotein B100 (apoB100) linked by a disulfide bond to apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)). Formation of Lp(a) occurs after apo(a) first binds to lysine residues of apoB100 through the Kringle IV type 7 and 8 (KIV7–8) domains, which contain lysine-binding sites. This non-covalent interaction is then stabilized by a disulfide bond formed between a cysteine residue in the KIV-9 domain of apo(a) and a complementary cysteine in apoB100, resulting in the mature Lp(a) particle. Lipoprotein(a) is similar to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad cholesterol,” but is stickier and increases the risk of blockages in arteries. Plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a) are primarily genetically determined (approximately 70 to ≥ 90%), and its expression is controlled by the apolipoprotein(a) gene (LPA). Common LDL lowering drugs, such as statins, do not have the same lowering effect on lipoprotein(a). Diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes are of little benefit in lowering lipoprotein(a) plasma concentrations. Epidemiologic studies over the past three decades have shown an association between higher circulating lipoprotein(a) concentrations and an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and calcific valvular aortic stenosis. Genetic evidence supports Lp(a) as a causal risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, there are no currently available pharmacologic therapies that substantially lower plasma Lp(a) or are indicated to treat patients with elevated lipoprotein(a) plasma concentrations. Accordingly, additional treatment options are desired for patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, metabolic diseases, and lipid disorders such as dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypercholesterolemia. There is also a need for small molecules that bind with high affinity to KIV7–8 of apolipoprotein(a) to inhibit Lp(a) formation. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Described herein are inhibitors of lipoprotein(a) formation for use in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, lipid disorders, metabolic diseases or disorders, or combinations thereof. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein exhibit strong binding affinity to the Kringle IV type 7 and 8 (KIV7–8) domains of apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)). Without being bound to any particular theory, such binding may inhibit Lp(a) formation or reduce plasma Lp(a) levels in patients more effectively than compounds with weaker affinity for these domains. Compounds described herein are inhibitors of lipoprotein(a) formation, and they lower plasma concentrations of lipoprotein(a).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION There have been significant advances in treating cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, despite treatment advances, patients with CVD continue to experience cardiovascular disease events such as angina, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which if untreated, can lead to death. CVDs also include coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis, stroke, atrial fibrillation, hypercholesterolemia, and peripheral artery occlusive disease. Lipid disorders remain a major risk factor for CVD. Lipid disorders, such as dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypercholesterolemia, can be divided into four general risk factors: elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (i.e., “good” cholesterol), elevated triglycerides, and elevated Lp(a). The physiological function of Lp(a) is complex, however, and elevated Lp(a) plasma levels are known to be an independent risk factor for CVD. Currently, there is no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved therapeutic to lower Lp(a) plasma levels. Lipoprotein(a) forms by bonding between apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) and apoB100. Lp(a) may exhibit both prothrombotic and antithrombotic properties, and atherogenic and atherothrombotic properties. Lp(a) may inhibit fibrinolysis and accumulate in the vascular wall, inducing thrombogenesis and atherosclerotic lesions. Plasma levels of Lp(a) vary substantially among individuals and do not vary significantly with diet and exercise. A genetic predisposition to elevated Lp(a) plasma levels may exist. Lp(a) resembles LDL cholesterol because it includes an LDL lipid core with an attendant apolipoprotein B (apoB), but unlike LDL cholesterol, Lp(a) also contains apolipoprotein(a) (apo(a)) bound to the apoB via disulfide bond. Apolipoprotein B occurs in the plasma in two main isoforms, apoB48 and apoB100. The apoB48 is synthesized by the small intestine, while apoB100 is synthesized by the liver. The largest of the apoB group of proteins is apoB100. Apo(a) is synthesized in the liver. The assembly of Lp(a) from apo(a) and LDL particles can occur in hepatocytes, on the cell wall, or in plasma. Inhibition of the assembly of the LDL particle with apo(a) may reduce Lp(a) levels. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is used in the treatment of a metabolic disease or disorder. In some embodiments, the metabolic disease or disorder is dyslipidemia, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipoproteinemia(a), hypercholesterolemia, fatty liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). In some embodiments, the metabolic disease or disorder is a lipid metabolism disorder. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with excessive fat in the liver (steatosis) due to causes other than excessive alcohol intake. In some embodiments, NAFLD is associated with obesity, type-2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD can manifest as simple steatosis or steatosis with inflammation and liver injury which is classified as non- alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH is defined by the histologic hallmarks of inflammation, cell death, and fibrosis. In some instances, primary NASH is associated with insulin resistance. In some embodiments, hyperlipoproteinemia(a) is characterized by a plasma level of lipoprotein(a) of at least 50 mg / dL (125 nmol / L). Lipoprotein(a) levels of greater than or equal to 125 nmol / L or 50 mg / dL have been correlated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. (https: / / www.heart.org / en / health-topics / cholesterol / genetic-conditions / lipoprotein-a). In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is used in the treatment of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a serious health condition that results in higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and diseases related to fatty buildups in artery walls (atherosclerosis). Underlying causes of metabolic syndrome include overweight and obesity, insulin resistance, physical inactivity, genetic factors and increasing age. Metabolic syndrome is diagnosed when a person has three or more of the following risk factors: high blood glucose, low levels of HDL cholesterol in the blood, high levels of triglycerides in the blood, large waist circumference or “apple-shaped” body, or high blood pressure. Each of these risk factors is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but the chance of developing a serious cardiovascular condition increases when a person is diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. For example, high blood pressure is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but when combined with high fasting blood sugar levels, and abdominal obesity (large waistline), the chance for developing cardiovascular disease is intensified. In some embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is used in the treatment of cardiometabolic syndrome. Cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) is a combination of metabolic dysfunctions mainly characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and central adiposity. CMS increases in prevalence as the population becomes more obese which increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. CMS is recognized as a disease by the World Health Organization and the American Society of Endocrinology (Srivastava AK. “Challenges in the treatment of cardiometabolic syndrome,” Indian J Pharmacol.2012;44(2):155-156). People with CMS are two times more likely to die from coronary heart disease and three times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those who do not have the syndrome. It is now known that central adiposity is a major contributor to increased cardiometabolic risk. Various pathophysiological cardiometabolic factors have been reported to be associated with the risk of myocardial infarction. Visceral fat is the result of an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Metabolically active tissues produce various proinflammatory and prothrombotic cytokines. Both fatty liver and abdominal visceral adipose tissue are correlated with CMS. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are inhibitors of lipoprotein(a) formation. In some embodiments, compounds described herein are used to lower plasma concentrations of Lp(a). In some embodiments, compounds described herein inhibit Lp(a) formation by blocking the apo(a)-apoB100 interaction. In some embodiments, compounds described herein inhibit Lp(a) formation by blocking the apo(a)-apoB100 interaction while avoiding interaction with a homologous protein, plasminogen.

[0025] Further Forms of Compounds In some aspects, compounds described herein are in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The methods and formulations described herein include the use of N-oxides (if appropriate), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds having the structure disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the compounds described herein can be asymmetric (e.g., having one or more stereocenters). All stereoisomers, such as enantiomers and diastereomers, are intended unless otherwise indicated. Compounds of the present invention that contain asymmetrically substituted carbon atoms can be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. Methods on how to prepare optically active forms from optically inactive starting materials are known in the art, such as by resolution of racemic mixtures or by stereoselective synthesis. Many geometric isomers of olefins, C=N double bonds and the like can also be present in the compounds described herein, and all such stable isomers are contemplated in the present invention. Cis and trans geometric isomers of the compounds of the present invention are described and may be isolated as a mixture of isomers or as separated isomeric forms. In other embodiments, resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art. One method includes fractional recrystallization using a chiral resolving acid which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods are, e.g., optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid or the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids such as D- camphorsulfonic acid. Other resolving agents suitable for fractional crystallization methods include stereoisomerically pure forms of α-methylbenzylamine (e.g., S and R forms, or diastereomerically pure forms), 2-phenylglycinol, norephedrine, ephedrine, N-methylephedrine, cyclohexylethylamine, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and the like. In some embodiments, resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent composition can be determined by one skilled in the art. In some embodiments, when compounds described herein contain a chiral center, unless otherwise indicated, the compounds can be any of the possible stereoisomers. In some embodiments, an asterisk (*) at a chiral center indicates a compound having either an (R)- configuration or an (S)-configuration at the indicated chiral center, but absolute stereochemistry of the chiral center has not been determined. In some embodiments, the compounds provided herein have the (R)-configuration. In other embodiments, the compounds have the (S)- configuration. In compounds with more than one chiral centers, each of the chiral centers in the compound may be independently (R) or (S), unless otherwise indicated. In compounds with a single chiral center, the stereochemistry of the chiral center can be (R) or (S). In compounds with two chiral centers, the stereochemistry of the chiral centers can each be independently (R) or (S) so the configuration of the chiral centers can be (R) and (R), (R) and (S); (S) and (R), or (S) and (S). In compounds with three chiral centers, the stereochemistry each of the three chiral centers can each be independently (R) or (S) so the configuration of the chiral centers can be (R), (R) and (R); (R), (R) and (S); (R), (S) and (R); (R), (S) and (S); (S), (R) and (R); (S), (R) and (S); (S), (S) and (R); or (S), (S) and (S). In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein possess one or more stereocenters and each stereocenter exists independently in either the R or S configuration. In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein exists in the R configuration. In some embodiments, the compound disclosed herein exists in the S configuration. Those of skill in the art will appreciate that, where a compound is drawn with specific stereochemistry, variants of that compound that are racemic at any or all of the stereocenters may also be envisioned, and such partially or fully racemic compounds are also contemplated herein. The compounds presented herein include all diastereomeric, individual enantiomers, atropisomers, and epimeric forms as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. The compounds and methods provided herein include all cis, trans, syn, anti, rectus (R), sinister (S), entgegen (E), and zusammen (Z) isomers as well as the appropriate mixtures thereof. Some of the compounds may also exist in tautomeric forms. Such forms, although not explicitly indicated in the formulae described herein, are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure. In other embodiments, compounds of the invention also include tautomeric forms. Tautomeric forms result from the swapping of a single bond with an adjacent double bond together with the concomitant migration of a proton. Tautomeric forms include prototropic tautomers which are isomeric protonation states having the same empirical formula and total charge. Example prototropic tautomers include ketone–enol pairs, amide - imidic acid pairs, lactam–lactim pairs, enamine–imine pairs, and annular forms where a proton can occupy two or more positions of a heterocyclic system, e.g., 1H- and 3H-imidazole, 1H-, 2H- and 4H- 1,2,4- triazole, 1H- and 2H- isoindole and 1H- and 2H-pyrazole. Tautomeric forms can be in equilibrium or sterically locked into one form by appropriate substitution. Compounds herein identified by name or structure as one particular tautomeric form are intended to include other tautomeric forms unless otherwise specified (e.g., in the case of purine rings, unless otherwise indicated, if a compound name or structure described the 9H tautomer, it would be understood that the 7H tautomer is also encompassed). In some embodiments, the compounds disclosed herein comprise stable isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen in amounts greater than their natural abundance. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms may be enriched with2H in an amount greater than about 0.015% (e.g., 1.2-1.5%, 1.5-2%, 2-10%, or more than 10%). For example, one or more carbon atoms may be enriched with13C in an amount greater than about 1.1% (e.g., 1.2-1.5%, 1.5-2%, 2-10%, or more than 10%). One or more nitrogen atoms may be enriched with15N in an amount greater than about 0.4% (e.g., 0.5-1%, 1-2%, 2-10%, or greater than 10%). Likewise, one or more oxygen atoms may be enriched with16O in an amount greater than about 0.24% (e.g., 0.25-0.5%, 0.5-1%, 1-2%, 2-10%, or greater than 10%). Recitation of “hydrogen” or “H” should be understood to encompass1H (protium),2H (deuterium), and3H (tritium) unless otherwise specified. In some embodiments, compounds of the invention can also include all isotopes of atoms occurring in the intermediates or final compounds. Isotopes include those atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers. For example, isotopes of hydrogen include tritium and deuterium. One or more constituent atoms of the compounds of the invention can be replaced or substituted with isotopes of the atoms in natural or non-natural abundance. In some embodiments, the compound includes at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced or substituted by deuterium. In some embodiments, the compound includes two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound includes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 deuterium atoms. In the compounds provided herein, any atom not specifically designated as a particular isotope is meant to represent any stable isotope of that atom. In some embodiments, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred in somecircumstances. (A. Kerekes et.al. J. Med. Chem.2011, 54, 201-210; R. Xu et.al. J. LabelCompd. Radiopharm. 2015, 58, 308-312). Unless otherwise stated, when a position isdesignated specifically as “D” or “deuterium,” the position is understood to have deuterium at an abundance that is at least 3000 times greater than the natural abundance of deuterium, which is 0.015% (i.e., at least 45% incorporation of deuterium). In embodiments, the compounds provided herein have an isotopic enrichment factor for each designated deuterium atom of at least 3500 (52.5% deuterium incorporation at each designated deuterium atom), at least 4000 (60% deuterium incorporation), at least 4500 (67.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 5000 (75% deuterium), at least 5500 (82.5% deuterium incorporation), at least 6000 (90% deuterium incorporation), at least 6333.3 (95% deuterium incorporation), at least 6466.7 (97% deuterium incorporation), at least 6600 (99% deuterium incorporation), or at least 6633.3 (99.5% deuterium incorporation).

The term “preventing” is art-recognized, and when used in relation to a condition, such as a local recurrence (e.g., pain), a disease such as cancer, a syndrome complex such as heart failure or any other medical condition, is well understood in the art, and includes administration of a composition which reduces the frequency of, or delays the onset of, symptoms of a medical condition in a subject relative to a subject which does not receive the composition. Thus, prevention of cancer includes, for example, reducing the number of detectable cancerous growths in a population of patients receiving a prophylactic treatment relative to an untreated control population, and / or delaying the appearance of detectable cancerous growths in a treated population versus an untreated control population, e.g., by a statistically and / or clinically significant amount. “Administering” or “administration of” a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject can be carried out using one of a variety of methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, a compound or an agent can be administered, intravenously, arterially, intradermally, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, ocularly, sublingually, orally (by ingestion), intranasally (by inhalation), intraspinally, intracerebrally, and transdermally (by absorption, e.g., through a skin duct). A compound or agent can also appropriately be introduced by rechargeable or biodegradable polymeric devices or other devices, e.g., patches and pumps, or formulations, which provide for the extended, slow or controlled release of the compound or agent. Administering can also be performed, for example, once, a plurality of times, and / or over one or more extended periods. Appropriate methods of administering a substance, a compound or an agent to a subject will also depend, for example, on the age and / or the physical condition of the subject and the chemical and biological properties of the compound or agent (e.g. solubility, digestibility, bioavailability, stability and toxicity). In some embodiments, a compound or an agent is administered orally, e.g., to a subject by ingestion. In some embodiments, the orally administered compound or agent is in an extended release or slow release formulation, or administered using a device for such slow or extended release. As used herein, the phrase “conjoint administration” refers to any form of administration of two or more different therapeutic agents such that the second agent is administered while the previously administered therapeutic agent is still effective in the body (e.g., the two agents are simultaneously effective in the patient, which may include synergistic effects of the two agents). For example, the different therapeutic compounds can be administered either in the same formulation or in separate formulations, either concomitantly or sequentially. Thus, an individual who receives such treatment can benefit from a combined effect of different therapeutic agents. A “therapeutically effective amount” or a “therapeutically effective dose” of a drug or agent is an amount of a drug or an agent that, when administered to a subject will have the intended therapeutic effect. The full therapeutic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a therapeutically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations. The precise effective amount needed for a subject will depend upon, for example, the subject’s size, health and age, and the nature and extent of the condition being treated.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a single unit dosage form comprising a compound of the current invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle. The amount of both an inventive compound and additional therapeutic agent (in those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent as described above) that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. Preferably, compositions of this invention should be formulated so that a dosage of between 0.01 - 100 mg / kg body weight / day of an inventive compound can be administered. In those compositions which comprise an additional therapeutic agent, that additional therapeutic agent and the compound of this invention may act synergistically. Therefore, the amount of additional therapeutic agent in such compositions will be less than that required in a monotherapy utilizing only that therapeutic agent. In such compositions a dosage of between 0.01 – 1,000 ^g / kg body weight / day of the additional therapeutic agent can be administered. The amount of one or more other therapeutic agent present in the compositions of this invention may be no more than the amount that would normally be administered in a composition comprising that therapeutic agent as the only active agent. Preferably the amount of one or more other therapeutic agent in the presently disclosed compositions will range from about 50% to 100% of the amount normally present in a composition comprising that agent as the only therapeutically active agent. In some embodiments, one or more other therapeutic agent is administered at a dosage of about 50%, about 55%, about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, about 90%, or about 95% of the amount normally administered for that agent. As used herein, the phrase “normally administered” means the amount an FDA approved therapeutic agent is provided for dosing per the FDA label insert. The compounds of this invention, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof, may also be incorporated into compositions for coating an implantable medical device, such as prostheses, artificial valves, vascular grafts, stents and catheters. Vascular stents, for example, have been used to overcome restenosis (re-narrowing of the vessel wall after injury). However, patients using stents or other implantable devices risk clot formation or platelet activation. These unwanted effects may be prevented or mitigated by pre-coating the device with a pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising a kinase inhibitor. Implantable devices coated with a compound of this invention are another embodiment of the present invention.

Assay Data: Example D-1: Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) Assay Formation of Lp(a) occurs after apo(a) first binds to lysine residues of apoB100 through the Kringle IV (KIV) 7 and 8 domains, and then a disulfide bond forms between apo(a) and apoB- 100 to create Lp(a). Diaz, N., Perez, C., Escribano, A.M. et al. Discovery of potent small-molecule inhibitors of lipoprotein(a) formation. Nature 629, 945–950 (2024) reported that Lp(a) formation can be disrupted through small-molecule interactions with apo(a) KIV7–8, and disclosed compounds that bind to apo(a) KIV7–8. Comparator compounds, including a symmetrical trimer muvalaplin (LY3473329) as described in Diaz et al., and compounds disclosed herein were evaluated in an apo(a) Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) binding affinity assay as described below to measure binding affinity to apo(a) KIV7–8.
[0037] Certain compounds disclosed herein, being asymmetrical and comprising at least one cubanyl-containing (e.g., non-aromatic) arm, were found to have significantly stronger binding affinity for apo(a) KIV7–8 compared to compounds disclosed in Diaz et al comprising symmetrical and phenyl-containing (e.g., aromatic) arms. For example, a trimeric compound disclosed herein comprising at least one cubanyl-containing arm measured a ~7-fold stronger apo(a) KIV7–8 binding affinity of KD= 45 nM, compared to the symmetrical and phenyl-containing muvalaplin (apo(a) KIV7–8 binding affinity of KD= 332 nM). Further, a dimeric compound disclosed herein comprising one cubanyl-containing arm exhibited a ~4-fold stronger apo(a) KIV7–8 binding affinity of KD = 38 nM, compared to the symmetrical and phenyl-containing dimer of muvalaplin (apo(a) KIV7–8 binding affinity of KD = 160 nM). Thermodynamics of these compounds were also evaluated in the apo(a) binding affinity assay as described below. Compounds disclosed herein, being asymmetrical and comprising at least one cubanyl-containing (e.g., non-aromatic) arm, demonstrated superior stoichiometry of protein:compound compared to compounds disclosed in Diaz et al comprising symmetrical and phenyl-containing (e.g., aromatic) arms. Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) Assay Protocol Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) assays are well described in literature. Exemplary protocols are described in Diaz et al. as well as Bastos M, Velazquez-Campoy A. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC): a standard operating procedure (SOP). Eur Biophys J.2021 May;50(3- 4):363-371. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) experiments were conducted using a MicroCal Auto- iTC200 calorimeter (Malvern Panalytical) with a 200 μL cell and a 40 μL microsyringe. All titrations were performed at 25 °C with stirring at 1,000 rpm in ITC buffer (50 mM phosphate, pH 7.4). The microsyringe was loaded with compound solutions quantified by quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance and titrated into the calorimetric cell containing 20 μM of recombinant apo(a) protein in ITC buffer. After system equilibration at 25 °C and a 120-second delay, titrations consisted of one initial 0.4 μL injection followed by 19 injections of 2 μL each, lasting 4 seconds per injection with 150-second intervals. Heat of dilution from ligand injections was subtracted as control. Data were analyzed using MicroCal PEAQ-ITC Analysis Software with a single-binding-site model to determine binding enthalpy (ΔH) and binding constant (K). Thermodynamic parameters were calculated via ΔG = ΔH – TΔS = –RT ln KD, where ΔG, ΔH, and ΔS represent changes in free energy, enthalpy, and entropy respectively; T is absolute temperature and R is the gas constant (1.987 cal mol⁻¹ K⁻¹). Example E-1: Pharmacokinetic and Safety Models Compounds disclosed herein were evaluated in in vitro and in vivo models, including an Lp(a) assembly assay, plasma protein binding ADME assays, and mouse, rat, and cyno pharmacokinetic studies. Compounds disclosed herein were evaluated in non-clinical safety studies for hERG inhibition, CYP inhibition, CYP induction, genotoxicity, and off-targets. Data from the in vitro and in vivo models and non-clinical safety studies demonstrated that compounds disclosed herein are drug-like.
