[0003] NOT APPLICABLEFIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0004] The present disclosure provides certain bicyclic heteroaryl phosphonate and boronate compounds that inhibit ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase / phosphodiesterase 1 (ENPP1) enzymatic activity for the treatment of certain diseases mediated by upregulation of ENPP1 such as cancers, inflammatory diseases, and viral infections. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds.BACKGROUND
[0005] ENPP1 enzyme is present in a wide range of tissues and cell types, such as lymphocytes, macrophages, liver, brain, heart, kidney, vascular smooth muscle cells, and chondrocytes. ENPP1 hydrolyzes ATP and other nucleoside triphosphates and releases AMP or other nucleoside monophosphates as well as pyrophosphate (PPi) (Kato K et al. 2012 PNAS 109:16876-16881; Hessle L et al. 2002 PNAS 99:9445-9449). The enzyme can also hydrolyze other nucleoside monophosphate esters (Kato K et al. 2012 PNAS 109: 16876-16881). ENPP1 has been identified as the dominant 2’-3’-cGAMP hydrolase in cultured cells, tissue extracts and blood (Li L et al. 2014 Nat Chem Biol 10:1043-1048). Tissues and blood from ENPP1 knockout mice lack 2’-3’- cGAMP hydrolase activity.
[0006] Cyclic GMP-AMP synthase (cGAS) is a patern recognition receptor that synthesizes the endogenous messenger molecule cGAMP from ATP and GTP in response to the presence of DNA derived from viruses, bacteria, damaged mitochondria or cancer cells. The cGAMP molecule then binds to the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) protein, which initiates a signaling response that activates innate immunity and results in the production of ty pe I interferon, antiviral and immune-stimulatory cytokines (Sun L et al. 2013 Science 339:786-791; Wu J et al. 2013 Science 339:826-830; Gao D et al. 2013 Science 341 :903-906; Li X et al. 2013 Science 341 : 1390-1394; Schoggins JW et al. 2014 Nature 505:691-695; Wassermann R et al. 2015 Cell Host Microbe 17:799-810; Watson RO et al. 2015 Cell Host Microbe 17:811-819; Collins A et al. 2015 Cell Host Microbe 17:820-828; West A et al. 2015 Nature 520:533-557; Woo SR et al. 2014 Immunity 41 :830-842; Deng L et al. 2014 Immunity 41 :843-852; Chen Q et al. 2016 Nat Immunol 17: 1142- 1148). The cGAS enzyme, cGAMP messenger and STING are also involved in host defense against RNA viruses and the immune control of tumor development (Aguirre S et al. 2012 PLoS Pathog 8: el002934; Barber GN 2015 Nat Rev Immunol 15:760-770). ENPP1 has been identified as the enzyme that naturally hydrolyzes cGAMP and therefore counteracts the innate immune response against infectious agents, damaged cells and cancer cells (Li L et al. 2014 Nat Chem Biol 10: 1043-1048). The efficacy of non-hydrolyzable cGAMP analogs in inducing functional immune responses is higher than that of natural, hydrolysable cGAMP (Li L et al. 2014 Nat Chem Biol 10: 1043-1048; Corrales L et al. 2015 Cell Rep 11 : 1018-1030). Virus infection has been demonstrated to be facilitated by ENPP1 overexpression and is atenuated by silencing of ENPP1 (Wang J et al. 2018 Mol Immunol 95:56-63).
[0007] Inhibitors of cGAMP hydrolysis may therefore be used to increase the effectiveness of immune responses against cancer cells and tumors and against infections by RNA or DNA viruses or bacteria. Inhibitors of ENPP1 and of cGAMP or nucleoside triphosphate hydrolysis may also be used for the treatment of inflammatory diseases that are associated with elevated nucleotidase levels, reduced nucleoside triphosphate, reduced cGAMP or reduced nucleoside monophosphate ester levels or diseases associated with elevated nucleoside or nucleoside monophosphate levels. For these reasons, ENPP1 is an atractive therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases.
[0008] The present disclosure addresses these needs and provides related advantages as well.SUMMARY

[0267] In general, the compounds of this disclosure will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. Therapeutically effective amounts of compounds this disclosure may range from about 0.01 to about 500 mg per kg patient body weight per day. which can be administered in single or multiple doses. A suitable dosage level may be from about 0. 1 to about 250 mg / kg per day; about 0.5 to about 100 mg / kg per day. A suitable dosage level may be about 0.01 to about 250 mg / kgper day, about 0.05 to about 100 mg / kg per day. or about 0. 1 to about 50 mg / kg per day. Within this range the dosage can be about 0.05 to about 0.5, about 0.5 to about 5 or about 5 to about 50 mg / kg per day. For oral administration, the compositions can be provided in the form of tablets containing about 1.0 to about 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient, particularly about 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 400, 500, 600, 750, 800, 900, and 1000 milligrams of the active ingredient. In one embodiment, the dosage is 200 mg BID. In one embodiment, the dosage is 400 mg BID. In one embodiment, the dosage is 600 mg BID. In one embodiment, the dosage is 800 mg BID. The actual amount of the compound of this disclosure, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the patient, the potency of the compound being utilized, the route and form of administration, and other factors.
[0268] In general, compounds of this disclosure will be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), or parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen, which can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions.
[0269] The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration (e.g., for oral administration, formulations in the form of tablets, pills or capsules, including enteric coated or delayed release tablets, pills or capsules are preferred) and the bioavailability of the drug substance. Recently, pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show7poor bioavailability7based upon the principle that bioavailability7can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4.107.288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a cross-linked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.
[0270] The compositions are comprised of in general, a compound of this disclosure in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not adversely affect the therapeutic benefit of the compoundof this disclosure.

[0290] In vivo anti -tumor effect of ENPP1 inhibitor RBS2418, a compound disclosed herein, was determined in syngeneic mouse cancer models of pancreatic, liver, glioblastoma, colon cancer, melanoma. Summary of the studies are as disclosed in Table 4 below and detailed description of the studies are provided in Examples 1 to 5 below.Table 4 Summary of Evaluation of RBS2418 in Syngeneic Mouse Cancer ModelsExample 1Pan02 Syngeneic Pancreatic Cancer Mouse Model
[0291] The Pan02 syngeneic mouse model was derived from a pancreatic tumor. Each study arm had 8 tumor bearing C57BL / 6 mice. The treatment was conducted as shown in FIG. 1 A. On day 5 after implantation, the mice were treated with either vehicle (control group), RBS2418 and radiation with or without RBS2418. RBS2418 was dosed at 10 mg / kg twice a day (BID) by oral gavage for 5 days. 10% ethanol / 40% PEG400 / 50% water was used as vehicle control. RBS2418 dose formulation is 1 mg / mL in vehicle. The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 1A-1E.Results:
[0292] As seen in FIG. 1 A, RBS2418 showed a significant delay in tumor growth in this study. The nadir of response was observed at the end of the 5-day dosing period (day 9). The response w as similar to that observed by a single radiation treatment of 5 Gy (SARRP). There was a further significant improvement in the response in the group of animals that were treated with the combination of radiation and RBS2418. FIG. IB shows tumor volume (mm3) comparisons of mice across vehicle control and treatment groups on day 9 after tumor implantation. FIGs. 1C-1E show individual tumor growth curves of mice across vehicle control and treatment groups. As seen in FIG. IE, four out of eight animals showed complete tumor regression at the end of RBS2418 treatment in the combination treatment group.Example 2Hepal-6 Syngeneic Liver Cancer Mouse Model
[0293] The Hepal -6 syngeneic mouse model was derived from a liver tumor. Each study arm had 8 tumor bearing C57BL / 6J mice. The treatment was initiated after the average tumor size was 97 mm3. RBS2418 was dosed at 30 mg / kg once daily (QD) by intramuscular injection for 2 days or 10 days. 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.4 was used as vehicle control. RBS2418 dose formulation is 6 mg / mL in vehicle. The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 2A-2E.Results:
[0294] The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 2A-2E. RBS2418 dosed at 30 mg / kg once daily (QD) by intramuscular injection for 10 days showed a significant delay of tumor growth in the Hepal-6 syngeneic mouse model of liver cancer (FIG. 2A-2B). Mean tumor growth curves (FIG. 2A) and individual tumor growth curves (FIG. 2B) of mice in vehicle control and treatment group were plotted. Three mice in the group treated for 2 days and four mice in the group treated for 10 days showed complete tumor regression that was maintained after the end of treatment (see FIG. 2B). RBS2418 treatment was associated with increased survival compared with the vehicle- treated group (FIG. 2C). The seven animals that achieved complete tumor regression were resistant to a rechallenge with Hepal-6 cancer cells, while all control animals died within less than 60 days after cancer cell challenge (see FIG. 2D). These results are consistent with the induction of immune-mediated cure by RBS2418 monotherapy in the Hepal-6 liver cancer model and the establishment of immune memory sufficient to protect animals from cancer cell rechallenge.Example 3GL261-Luc Syngeneic Glioblastoma Cancer Mouse Model
[0295] The GL261-luc syngeneic mouse model was derived from a glioblastoma tumor. Each study arm had 8 tumor bearing C57BL / 6 mice. lxlOA5 GL261-luc cells suspended in 10 pL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were orthotopically inoculated at the striatal (anterior fontanelle right 2mm and 3mm, depth 1.5 mm) of each mouse. Three days after GL261-luc cell inoculation, all the mice were imaged by In Vivo Imaging System (IVIS) to verify the presence of tumor cells by Bioluminescence imaging (BLI) signals and the treatment was initiated and was denoted as day 0. RBS2418 was dosed at 200 pg / kg (10 mg / kg) on day 0 and day 5 by intraventricular injection either alone or in combination with an anti-m-PD-1 . Anti-m-PD-1 (In FzvoPlus anti-mouse PD-1 (CD279), clone # RMP1-14, catalog# BP0146, Bio X Cell) was administered at 10 mg / kg by intraperitoneal injection, twice a week for 2 weeks either alone or in combination with RBS2418. 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH7.4 was used as vehicle control. RBS2418 dose formulation is 20 mg / ml in vehicle. The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 3A -3E.Results:
[0296] RBS2418 dosed on Day 0 and Day 5 showed a significant inhibition of cancer cell grow th and increased survival in the GL261 -luc syngeneic mouse model of Glioblastoma (see FIGs. 3A, 3D and 3E). Significant differences in cancer cell numbers, as measured by bioluminescence imaging, were observed from Day 14 onwards between mice treated with RBS2418 compared with vehicle-treated mice (See FIG. 3A-3C). Mice showed a significant increase in median survival time when treated with RBS2418 alone or in combination with biweekly i.p. injection of anti-mouse-PDl -antibody (See FIG. 3D). One of eight (12.5%) mice treated with RBS2418 alone or with anti-mouse-PDl antibody alone, and three of eight (37.5%) mice treated with the combination of RBS2418 and anti-mouse-PDl antibody achieved full clearance of cancer cells and long-term survival. The long-term survivors (n=5) were rechallenged with the same number of GL261-luc cancer cells. Four of the five long-term survivors fully cleared the cancer cells after the re-challenge, consistent with the prior treatment having induced an effective cure and anti-GL261 -cancer immunity.Example 4MC38 Syngeneic Colon Cancer Mouse Model
[0297] The MC38 syngeneic mouse model was derived from a colon tumor. Each study arm had 8 tumor bearing C57BL / 6 mice. The treatment was initiated after the average tumor size was 66.6 mm3. RBS2418 was dosed at 10 mg / kg BID by oral gavage for 5 days. 10% ethanol / 40%PEG400 / 50% water was used as vehicle control. RBS2418 dose formulation is 1 mg / mL in vehicle. The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 4A-4D.Results:
[0298] FIG. 4A shows mean tumor grow th curves of mice across vehicle control and treatment group. FIG. 4B shows individual tumor growth curves of mice across vehicle control and treatment group. A significantly lower tumor volume was observed in the RBS2418 -treated animals as compared to vehicle-treated animals on day 11 and 14 of the study (see FIGs. 4C-4D). In contrast to Pan02, the MC38 tumor model responds well to treatment with checkpoint inhibitors, consistent with a lower deficit in the abi 1 i ty to activate antigen-presenting cells. The observed activity of RBS2418 suggests that inhibition of ENPP1 in this model has additional benefit.Example 5B16F10 Syngeneic Melanoma Cancer Mouse Model
[0299] The B16F10 syngeneic mouse model was derived from a melanoma tumor. Each study arm had 8 tumor bearing C57BL / 6 mice. The treatment was initiated after the average tumor size was 61 mm3. RBS2418 was dosed at 10 mg / kg BID by oral gavage for 5 days or with anti-mPDl antibody ( / nFzvoPlus anti-mouse PD-1 (CD279), clone # RMP1-14, catalog# BP0146, Bio X Cell) twice per w eek by intraperitoneal injection. 10% ethanol / 40% PEG400 / 50% water was used as vehicle control. RBS2418 dose formulation is 1 mg / mL in vehicle. The results of the study are shown in FIGs. 5A-5D.Results:
[0300] FIG. 5A shows mean tumor growth curves of mice across vehicle control and treatment groups. FIGs. 5C and 5D shows individual tumor growth curves of mice across vehicle control and treatment groups. A significantly lower tumor volume was observed in RBS2418-treated animals as compared to vehicle-treated animals on days 16 and 20 of the study. The treatment response to RBS2418 was similar to that with anti-mouse-PDl antibody (see FIGs. 5A-5B).Formulation Examples
