Description

[0001]OXAZOLE DERIVATIVES FOR ORAL ADMINISTRATIONField of the inventionThe present invention relates to oxazole derivative compounds, or pharmaceuticallyacceptable salts thereof, as defined herein, that are useful as medicaments for oral administration for inhibiting undesired cell death occurring in diseases associated withferroptosis and / or oxytosis such as liver disease, chronic kidney disease, lung disease, ocularsurface diseases, wound healing, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, neurological disease, acute renal failure, ischemia-reperfusion injury, sepsis, iron toxicity, prevention of transplant rejection, iron metabolism-related disease, and genetic disorders of GPX4. Background of the invention Cell death is crucial for normal development, homeostasis, and the prevention of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. It was once thought that almost all regulated cell death in mammalian cells resulted from the activation of caspase-dependent apoptosis. This view has been challenged by the discovery of several regulated non-apoptotic cell death pathways activated in specific disease states. Regulated necrosis is defined as a genetically controlled cell death process that eventually results in cellular leakage, and is morphologically characterized by cytoplasmic granulation, as well as organelle and / or cellular swelling.Ferroptosis is one recognized form of regulated necrosis, and its hallmark is the production ofiron-dependent lipophilic reactive oxygen species (ROS). Cell membrane rupture during ferroptotic cell death is characterized by hydrogen abstraction and oxygenation ofpolyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of phospholipids (PLs), which is catalysed by redox-active iron. This subsequently leads to cell death due to the disruption of membrane stability and the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides to lethal levels. Although the process of lipid peroxidation has been linked to several regulated cell death modalities, ferroptosis is exclusively driven by excessive lipid peroxidation. Oxidative damage of PUFA-PLs can be initiated either through non-enzymatic free-radical chain reactions involving Fenton chemistry or enzyme-mediated processes catalysed by iron-dependent lipoxygenases (LOXs) orcytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (POR). In addition to ferroptosis, glutamine and oxidativestress induced cell death are inhibited by iron chelation. In line with this, iron-dependent neuronal cell death is blocked by metal protein-attenuating compounds (e.g. clioquinol) and iron chelators (e.g. deferoxamine), which are being explored for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Another type of regulated necrosis is oxytosis which is also induced when the Xc- Cys / Glu antiporter is inhibited through an excess of the neurotransmitterglutamine; the latter process is often designated as excitotoxicity in neuronal cells. Becauseof the clear mechanistic overlaps between oxytosis and ferroptosis, the use of modulators offerroptosis in disease will likely target the same disease processes which are associated withoxytosis. Disease processes where undesired ferroptosis and / or oxytosis occur are typicallydisorders where an oxidative stress factor is involved such as in several neurodegenerativediseases, liver-, cardiac- and kidney-ischemia – reperfusion injury, stroke, sepsis, diabetes,and epilepsy. Oxidative stress due to iron overload is for example highly relevant in organsaccumulating iron such as the brain, kidney, and liver.Several compounds have been described in the art which are able to inhibit ferroptosis suchas, for example in WO2013 / 152039 and in, Skouta R. et al (2014) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 136,4551-4556). The prior art highlights the importance of the ethyl-ester in the maintenance of the potency of the first-in-class compound ferroptosis inhibitor molecule (designated as Ferrostatin-1) and there have been suggestions for chain modifications of the ester for generating improved molecules. Indeed, the latter reference also teaches that esters modified to amides and sulfonamides at the same position have a lower EC50. It has also been suggested that improved pharmacokinetic variants of Ferrostatin-1 could be ester analogues. It would be desirable to generate additional compounds that can inhibit or reduce ferroptosis,in particular compounds with an improved physicochemical and / or pharmacokinetic profile thatallows their use as oral medicaments. There is a need for small molecules that use ferroptosis and / or oxytosis as their target, have strong selectivity, have good oral bioavailability, and have significant efficacy for the treatmentof ferroptosis and / or oxytosis-related diseases.Summary of the invention The present invention is based on the unexpected finding that at least one of the above- mentioned objectives can be attained by small molecules. The present invention provides compounds which have surprisingly been found to be potent inhibitors of ferroptosis and / or oxytosis with excellent oral availability; more particularly, thecompounds of the invention show very potent in vitro anti-ferroptotic activity in the lownanomolar range and good radical-trapping ability. Moreover, the compounds show moderateto high central nervous system (CNS) multiparameter optimization (MPO) scores, blood-brainbarrier (BBB) permeability and in vivo pharmacokinetics (PK) in brain tissue.

In the present invention the potency of a compound inhibiting (or reducing) ferroptosis and / oroxytosis are determined in (bio)chemical antioxidant activity assays, in vitro assays. Typically,FENIX assay is used to quantify radical trapping antioxidant activity in phospholipid bilayersto predict anti-ferroptotic potency of lipophilic antioxidants in cells. Typically, in vitro assaysare used to measure the potency of a candidate compound. Examples of suitable in vitro assays are cellular assays. One non-limiting example of an assay involves the use of the IMR-32 neuroblastoma cell line. The latter is stimulated to enter ferroptosis upon stimulation with10µM erastin, a documented ferroptosis inducer (see for example Dixon et al (2012) Cell 149,1060-1072 and ferroptosis inhibitors are evaluated for the prevention of erastin induced ferroptosis. Another assay involves the use of ML162-induced ferroptosis in HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. Yet another assay is based on the glutamate-induced cell death in the hippocampal cell line HT22 and ferroptosis / oxytosis inhibitors are evaluated for the preventionof cell death (see Henke N. et al (2013) Cell Death and Disease 4, e470). Still another assayis based on the sorafenib induced cell death (described to be iron dependent cell death) in hepatocellular carcinoma cells and ferroptosis inhibitors are evaluated for the prevention ofcell death (see Louandre C. et al (2013) Int. J. Cancer 133, 1732). The calculated potency ofa compound inhibiting ferroptosis and / or oxytosis is typically depicted as an IC50 value.Examples of suitable in vivo assays are typically pre-clinical disease models of for examplemice for the diseases benefiting the application of ferroptosis and / or oxytosis inhibitors, as described herein.One non-limiting example of an in vivo assay is based on inducing organ injury by iron overloador using liver, kidney, lung, brain or intestine-specific Gpx4-deficient mouse lines andferroptosis inhibitors are evaluated based on the level of reduction in plasma injury biomarkersLDH, CK, AST and ALT, and body temperature (see Van Coillie et al. (2022) Nat Comm 13:1046).The compounds for use of this invention can be administered as the sole pharmaceutical agentor in combination with one or more other pharmaceutical agents where the combination causes no unacceptable adverse effects. The present invention relates also to such combinations. For example, the compounds of this invention can be combined with known therapeutic agents for the treatment of diseases mentioned herein, as well as with admixtures and combinations thereof. Particularly preferred combinations are necroptosis inhibitors (e.g. necrostatin-1) and ferroptosis inhibitors. Examples of these combinations are described inLinkermann et al 2014.The compounds for use of the invention may be in the form of salts, preferably pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as generally described below. Some preferred, but non- limiting examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable organic and / or inorganic acids are as hydrochloric acid, trifluoroacetic acid (or triflate), hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and citric acid, as well as other pharmaceutically acceptable acids known per se (for which reference is made to the prior art referred to below). When the compounds for use of the invention contain an acidic group as well as a basic group the compounds of the invention may also form internal salts, and such compounds are within the scope of the invention. When the compounds of the invention contain a hydrogen-donating heteroatom (e.g. NH), the invention also covers salts and / or isomers formed by transfer of said hydrogen atom to a basic group or atom within the molecule. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds of formula (I) and any subgroup thereof include the acid addition and base salts thereof. Suitable acid addition salts are formed from acids which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the acetate, adipate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate / carbonate, bisulfate / sulfate, borate, camsylate, citrate, cyclamate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride / chloride, hydrobromide / bromide, hydroiodide / iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate / hydrogen phosphate / dihydrogen phosphate, pyroglutamate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tannate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate (or triflate) and xinofoate salts. Suitable base salts are formed from bases which form non-toxic salts. Examples include the aluminium, arginine, benzathine, calcium, choline, diethylamine, diolamine, glycine, lysine, magnesium, meglumine, olamine, potassium, sodium, tromethamine and zinc salts. Hemisalts of acids and bases may also be formed, for example, hemisulphate and hemicalcium salts. For a review on suitable salts, see Handbook of Pharmaceutical Salts: Properties, Selection, and Use by Stahl and Wermuth (Wiley-VCH, 2002), incorporated herein by reference.The compounds for use of the invention may exist in a continuum of solid states ranging fromfully amorphous to fully crystalline. The term 'amorphous' refers to a state in which the material lacks long range order at the molecular level and, depending upon temperature, may exhibitthe physical properties of a solid or a liquid. Typically, such materials do not give distinctive X-ray diffraction patterns and, while exhibiting the properties of a solid, are more formally described as a liquid. Upon heating, a change from solid to liquid properties occurs which is characterized by a change of state, typically second order ('glass transition'). The term 'crystalline' refers to a solid phase in which the material has a regular ordered internal structure at the molecular level and gives a distinctive X-ray diffraction pattern with defined peaks. Such materials when heated sufficiently will also exhibit the properties of a liquid, but the change from solid to liquid is characterized by a phase change, typically first order ('melting point'). Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I) may be prepared by one or more of these methods: (i) by reacting the compound of formula (I) with the desired acid; (ii) by reacting the compound of formula (I) with the desired base;(iii) by removing an acid- or base-labile protecting group from a suitable precursor of thecompound of formula (I) or by ring-opening a suitable cyclic precursor, for example, a lactone or lactam, using the desired acid; or (iv) by converting one salt of the compound of formula (I) to another by reaction with an appropriate acid or by means of a suitable ion exchange column. All these reactions are typically carried out in solution. The salt may precipitate from solution and be collected by filtration or may be recovered by evaporation of the solvent. The degree of ionization in the salt may vary from completely ionized to almost non-ionized. The compounds of the invention may also exist in unsolvated and solvated forms. The term 'solvate' is used herein to describe a molecular complex comprising the compound of the invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules, for example, ethanol. The term 'hydrate' is employed when said solvent is water. A currently accepted classification system for organic hydrates is one that defines isolatedsite, channel, or metal-ion coordinated hydrates - see Polymorphism in Pharmaceutical Solidsby K. R. Morris (Ed. H. G. Britain, Marcel Dekker, 1995), incorporated herein by reference. Isolated site hydrates are ones in which the water molecules are isolated from direct contact with each other by intervening organic molecules. In channel hydrates, the water molecules lie in lattice channels where they are next to other water molecules. In metal-ion coordinated hydrates, the water molecules are bonded to the metal ion. When the solvent or water is tightly bound, the complex will have a well-defined stoichiometry independent of humidity. When, however, the solvent or water is weakly bound, as in channelsolvates and hygroscopic compounds, the water / solvent content will be dependent onhumidity and drying conditions. In such cases, non-stoichiometry will be the norm. Also included within the scope of the invention are multi-component complexes (other than salts and solvates) wherein the drug and at least one other component are present in stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts. Complexes of this type include clathrates (drug- host inclusion complexes) and co-crystals. The latter are typically defined as crystalline complexes of neutral molecular constituents which are bound together through non-covalent interactions, but could also be a complex of a neutral molecule with a salt. Co-crystals may be prepared by melt crystallization, by recrystallization from solvents, or by physically grindingthe components together - see Chem Commun, 17, 1889-1896, by O. Almarsson and M. J.Zaworotko (2004), incorporated herein by reference. For a general review of multi-component complexes, see J Pharm Sci, 64 (8), 1269-1288, by Haleblian (August 1975), incorporated herein by reference. The compounds of the invention may also exist in a mesomorphic state (mesophase or liquid crystal) when subjected to suitable conditions. The mesomorphic state is intermediate between the true crystalline state and the true liquid state (either melt or solution). Mesomorphism arising as the result of a change in temperature is described as 'thermotropic' and that resulting from the addition of a second component, such as water or another solvent, is described as 'lyotropic'. Compounds that have the potential to form lyotropic mesophases are described as 'amphiphilic' and consist of molecules which possess an ionic (such as - COO-Na+, -COO-K+, or -SO3-Na+) or non-ionic (such as -N-N+(CH3)3) polar head group. For more information, see Crystals and the Polarizing Microscope by N. H. Hartshorne and A. Stuart, 4thEdition (Edward Arnold, 1970), incorporated herein by reference. All references to compounds of formula (I) or any subgroups thereof include references to salts, solvates, multi-component complexes and liquid crystals thereof and to solvates, multi- component complexes and liquid crystals of salts thereof. The compounds of the invention include compounds of formula (I) or any subgroups thereof as hereinbefore defined, including all polymorphs and crystal habits thereof, prodrugs and isomers thereof (including optical, geometric and tautomeric isomers) as hereinafter defined and isotopically-labelled compounds of formula (I). In addition, although generally, with respect to the salts of the compounds of the invention, pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred, it should be noted that the invention in its broadest sense also included non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts, which may for example be used in the isolation and / or purification of the compounds of the invention. A further related aspect of the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (I) or a stereoisomer, or tautomer thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” as used herein is consistent with the art and means compatible with the other ingredients of a pharmaceutical composition and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. As used herein, “carrier” or “excipient” includes any and all solvents, diluents, buffers (such as, e.g., neutral buffered saline or phosphate buffered saline), solubilisers, colloids, dispersion media, vehicles, fillers, chelating agents (such as, e.g., EDTA or glutathione), amino acids (such as, e.g., glycine), proteins, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavourings, aromatisers, thickeners, agents for achieving a depot effect, coatings, antifungal agents, preservatives, antioxidants, tonicity controlling agents, absorption delaying agents, and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutical active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active substance, its use in the therapeutic compositions may be contemplated. Illustrative, non-limiting carriers for use in formulating the pharmaceutical compositions include, for example, oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, aqueous compositions with or without inclusion of organic co-solvents suitable for intravenous (IV) use, liposomes or surfactant-containing vesicles, microspheres, microbeads and microsomes, powders, tablets, capsules, suppositories, aqueous suspensions, aerosols, and other carriers apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. Pharmaceutical compositions as intended herein may be formulated for oral administration (such as, e.g., oral ingestion or inhalation). In this way, the therapeutic effects attainable by the methods and compositions can be, for example, systemic, local, tissue-specific, etc., depending of the specific needs of a given application. The dosage or amount of the agent as taught herein, optionally in combination with one or more other active compounds to be administered, depends on the individual case and is, as is customary, to be adapted to the individual circumstances to achieve an optimum effect. Thus, the unit dose and regimen depend on the nature and the severity of the disorder to be treated, and also on factors such as the species of the subject, the sex, age, body weight, general health, diet, mode and time of administration, immune status, and individual responsiveness of the human or animal to be treated, efficacy, metabolic stability and duration of action of the compounds used, on whether the therapy is acute or chronic or prophylactic, or on whether other active compounds are administered in addition to the agent of the invention. In order to optimize therapeutic efficacy, the compound or the pharmaceutical composition as taught herein can be first administered at different dosing regimes. Typically, levels of the agent in a tissue can be monitored using appropriate screening assays as part of a clinical testing procedure, e.g., to determine the efficacy of a given treatment regimen. The frequency of dosing is within the skills and clinical judgement of medical practitioners (e.g., doctors, veterinarians or nurses). Typically, the administration regime is established by clinical trials which may establish optimal administration parameters. However, the practitioner may vary such administration regimes according to the one or more of the aforementioned factors, e.g., subject’s age, health, weight, sex and medical status. The frequency of dosing can be varied depending on whether the treatment is prophylactic or therapeutic. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of the agent as described herein or pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same can be determined by known pharmaceutical proceduresin, for example, cell cultures or experimental animals. These procedures can be used, e.g.,for determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio LD50 / ED50. Pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred. While pharmaceutical compositions that exhibit toxic side effects can be used, care should be taken to design a delivery system that targets such compounds to the site of affected tissue in order to minimize potential damage to normal cells (e.g., non-target cells) and, thereby, reduce side effects. The data obtained from the cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in appropriate subjects. The dosage of such pharmaceutical compositions lies generally within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50 with little or no toxicity. The dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilised. For a pharmaceutical composition used as described herein, the therapeutically 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 IC50 (i.e., the concentration of the pharmaceutical composition which achieves a half-maximal inhibition of symptoms) as determined in cell culture. Such information can be used to more accurately determine useful doses in humans. Levels in plasma can be measured, for example, by high performance liquid chromatography. Examples The following examples are provided for the purpose of illustrating the present invention and by no means should be interpreted to limit the scope of the present invention.1. Characterization of representative compounds of the inventionUnless otherwise stated, laboratory reagent grade solvents were used. Reagents were obtained from various commercial sources and were used without any prior purification. Characterisation of all compounds was done with1H and13C NMR and mass spectrometry.

The UPLC (ultra performance liquid chromatography), used to quantify the purity of the products, was an ACQUITY UPLC H-Class system with a TUV detector Waters coupled to an MS detector Waters Qda. Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C181.7 μm, 2.1 mm × 50 mm column was used. The eluent was composed of two different solvents. Solvent C consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid, solvent D was acetonitrile. For most of the experiments, unless stated otherwise, the following general method was used. The column was first equilibrated for 0.15 min with a mixture of 95% solvent C and 5% solvent D. After that, solvent D was increased linearly to 100% over 1.75 min before being held constant for 0.25 min, followed by a mixture of 95% solvent C and 5% solvent D for 0.75 min (flow rate 0.7 ml / min). All mass spectra wererecorded over a m / z range of 100–1000. The wavelength for UV detection was 254 nm.Method II starts with equilibration of column for 0.15 min with a mixture of 95% solvent C and 5% solvent D. After that, solvent D was increased linearly to 100% over 2.50 min before being held constant for 0.75 min, followed by a mixture of 95% solvent C and 5% solvent D for 0.75 min (flow rate 0.7 ml / min).Selected compounds of the invention were analysed by high resolution mass spectrometry:10μL of each sample (concentration = 10–5M) was injected using the CapLC system (Waters, Manchester, UK) and electrosprayed using a standard electrospray source. Samples were injected with an interval of 5 min. Positive ion mode accurate mass spectra were acquired usinga Q-TOF II instrument (Waters, Man-chester, UK). The MS was calibrated prior to use with a 0.2% H3PO4 solution. The spectra were lock mass corrected using the known mass of the nearest H3PO4 cluster.During the chemical synthesis, flash purification was performed when necessary, on a BiotageISOLERA One flash system equipped with an internal variable dual wavelength diode array detector (200−400 nm). Reverse phase purifications were done using Buchi EcoFlex C18 cartridges, dry sample loading was done by self-packing sample cartridges using Celite® 545.Gradients used varied for each purification. Several synthesis procedures that were used inthe preparation of intermediates and final products are summarized here as “GeneralProcedures”. All reactions were performed under argon unless otherwise stated. The finalproducts have a purity above 95% unless otherwise stated.

Biological evaluation of the compounds of the inventionFluorescence-Enabled Inhibited Autoxidation (FENIX) (Shah et al. (2019) Cell Chem. Biol.26,1594-1607) Unless otherwise stated, laboratory reagent grade solvents were used. Reagents were obtained from various commercial sources and were used without any prior purification. L-α- phosphatidylcholine (Egg, Chicken), powder was purchased from Merck Life Science B.V. DTUN and STY-BODIPY were synthesized according to methods described in Shah et al. (2019) Cell Chem. Biol. 26, 1594-1607. Fluorescence was measured using the UV / vis spectrophotometer Synergy MX, Biotek with Gen5.To quantify radical trapping antioxidant activity in phospholipid bilayers to a clear bottom black-walled 96-well plate for fluorescence-base assays (Invitrogen by Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added 250 µL of a solution containing liposomes (1 mM), styrene-conjugated BODIPY(STY-BODIPY, 1 µM), and the respective radical trapping antioxidant (RTA, 4 µM). Thesolutions were made in larger volumes in Eppendorfs, pre-mixed and 250 µL aliquot was transferred to each well. The plate was incubated for 10 minutes at 37°C in the BioTek SynergyMx plate reader, followed by a fast-mixing protocol for 5 minutes. The plate wasejected from the plate reader and autoxidation was initiated by the addition of a 50 µL aliquotof (E)-1,2-bis((2-methyldecan-2-yl)oxy)diazene (DTUN, 0.2 mM in EtOH / PBS 3 / 47, v / v),followed by another mixing protocol for 5 minutes. Data were acquired by excitation probes at 488 nm and emission was measured at 518 nm (read intervals 1.0 min). Kinetic readparameters: (i) optic position: bottom, (ii) gain: 80, (iii) bandwidth: 9.0. The results of the FENIXassay are presented in Table 2 as inhibition rate constants (kinh), logkinh and stoichiometries (n) of tested compounds. Table 2.

HT-1080 cells were cultured in EMEM medium supplemented with 10% FCS and L-glutamine (1 mM), sodium pyruvate and nonessential amino acids. Cell death wasmeasured using Envision multimode plate reader (PE). To determine IC50 values, HT-1080were seeded in a 384-well plate at a density of 3500 cells / well in 40µl in an incubator overnight at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The next day, the cells were pretreated for 1h (in triplicates) with a 1 / 3 dilution series of ferrostatin-1 analogues ranging from 1 µM to 0.5 nM and Sytox Green (1.6 μM). All the compound’s stock solutions were prepared in DMSO at 100 mM concentration. After stimulating the cells with ML-162 1 μM the plate was transferred to the incubator. SytoxGreen intensity was measured after 8, 12, 16 and 24 h using an excitation filter of 485 nm and an emission filter of 535 nm. Dose-response curves were made as % cell death inhibition, taking ML162 treated samples as 0 % inhibition and Fer-1 (1 µM) + ML-162 samplesas 100 % inhibition. Cell death percentage was calculated as 100 – (( x – 100%inh) / ( 0%inh– 100%inh))*100). Curves were plotted in Spotfire software, and IC50 values were calculatedusing logistic regression curves. Data at 16 h is presented in Table 3. Kinetic solubility A turbidimetric method was used. First, a series of DMSO compound stock solutions were prepared (0.15-5 mM) from the stock solution of the compound in DMSO (10 mM). An aliquot of 4μL stock solution was added to 196μL PBS buffer (pH 7.4). A series of concentrations were prepared (3.13-200 μM), including a blank on a microtiter plate. The microtiter plate was shaken for 10 seconds and incubated for 2 hours at 37°C. Turbidity was measured using the UV / vis spectrophotometer Synergy MX, Biotek with Gen5. When there was no turbidity measured at a given concentration the sample was assumed to be dissolved. Data is presented in Table 3. Central nervous system multiparameter optimization (CNS MPO) scoreTo evaluate brain penetration, central nervous system multiparameter optimization (CNSMPO) score was calculated using CDD Vault software (Collaborative Drug Discovery Inc., Burlingame, California, USA). CNS MPO score consists of six fundamental physicochemical properties: lipophilicity, calculated partition coefficient (ClogP), calculated distribution coefficient at pH 7.4 (ClogD), molecular weight (MW), topological polar surface area (TPSA),number of hydrogen-bond donors (HBDs), and most basic centre (pKa). A CNS MPO score of> 4.0 is preferable to penetrate the brain. Data is presented in Table 3. Table 3.

Themicrosomes (final protein concentration 0.5 mg / ml), 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and test compound (final substance concentration 1 µM), were preincubated at 37°C for 10 min before the addition of NADPH Regenerating System (solution A and B from Corning Gentest™, final concentration 1 mM) to initiate the reaction. For each compound tested, a control without the cofactor was included. In this case, 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 7.4 was added instead ofthe NADPH regenerating system. In addition, with each new batch of microsomes, two positivecontrol compounds were incorporated. These controls represented substances with high (verapamil, with human Clint = 178.9 μL / min*mg; diazepam, with mouse Clint = 549 μL / min*mg) and low clearance (dextromethorphan, with human Clint = 34.6 μL / min*mg; diphenhydramine, with mouse Clint = 64.0 μL / min*mg). Each compound was incubated for 45 minutes at 37°C and shaken at 500 rpm. The reactions were stopped by transferring the incubate into acetonitrile, containing an internal standard, in Eppendorfs at the appropriate time points in a 1:3 ratio (0, 5, 10, 15, 30, and 45 minutes for compounds, and 0, 15, and 45 minutes for the negative control of those compounds). Subsequently, the Eppendorfs were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 20 minutes at 4°C to precipitate the protein. Quantitative AnalysisAfter protein precipitation, the sample supernatant from each time point was analysed usingUPLC-MS / MS. The analysis followed the general UPLC method for microsomal stability described below. The UPLC (ultra-performance liquid chromatography), used to quantify the microsomal stability of the products, was an ACQUITY UPLC H-Class system with a TUV detector Waters (not used in this assay) coupled to an MS / MS detector Xevo Waters TQD. Waters Acquity UPLC BEH C181.7 μm, 2.1 mm × 50 mm column was used. The eluent was composed of two different solvents. Solvent A consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid, solvent B was acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid. The column was first equilibrated for with a mixture of 95% solvent A and 5% solvent B until the delta of psi decrease below 40 psi. Themethod began with a short equilibration to reach 50% of solvents A and B in 0.15 min.Following this, solvent B was increased linearly to 95% over 2.75 min before being heldconstant for 0.70 min (flow rate 0.7 ml / min). The specific masses of the compounds were tracked using tuning files generated via Intellistart®, and quantification was aided by an internal standard. Data processing All obtained readouts were processed using Microsoft Excel. From a plot of ln peak area ratio (compound peak area / internal standard peak area) against time, the gradient of a line isdetermined by linear regression. Subsequently, several parameters were calculated using theequations below: Elimination rate constant (k) = ( - gradient)Half Time Cl (µL / min / mg of pr^ ^ ^^^int otein) =^^ / ^Where V = (Incubation volume µL) / (Microsomal protein mg / g liver) Data is presented in Table 4.

Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells are an epithelial cell line of canine kidney origin. These cells can be stably transfected to express active P-glycoprotein (MDCK-MDR1) and areideal for studying drug efflux. Test compound is added to either the apical or basolateral sideof a confluent monolayer of MDCK-MDR1 cells and permeability is measured by monitoringthe appearance of the test compound on the opposite side of the monolayer using LCMS / MS. If performing a bidirectional assay, the efflux ratio (ER) is calculated from the ratio of BA andAB permeabilities. The experiment measures the permeability of test compound in the apicalto basolateral (AB) and / or basolateral to apical (BA) direction across MDCK-MDR1 cells anddetermines the efflux ratio (ER), which shows whether the test compound undergoes activeefflux. The results are reported as apparent permeability coefficients (Papp) along with mean recovery values, and if relevant, the efflux ratio (ER) for the test compound. Experimental procedure MDCK-MDR1 cells obtained from the NIH (Rockville, MD, USA) are used between passagenumbers 6 - 30. Cells are seeded onto Transwell plates at 3.4 x 105 cells / cm2. The cells arecultured in DMEM and media is changed on day 3. On day 4 or 5, the permeability study isperformed. Cell culture and assay incubations are carried out at 37 ºC in an atmosphere of 5 % CO2 with a relative humidity of 95 %. On the day of the assay, the monolayers are prepared by rinsing the apical and basolateral compartment with Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) at the desired pH warmed to 37 °C. Cells are then incubated with HBSS at the desired pH in both apical and basolateral compartments for 30 minutes to stabilise physiologicalparameters. The dosing solutions are prepared by diluting the test compound with assay bufferto give the desired final test compound concentration (typically 10 µM). Final DMSOconcentration of 1 % v / v. The fluorescent integrity marker lucifer yellow is also included in thedosing solution. Analytical standards are prepared from test compound DMSO dilutions andtransferred to buffer, maintaining a ≤1 % v / v DMSO concentration. Typical assay buffer is composed of supplemented HBSS pH 7.4 but a range of other buffers and pH values can be used. For assessment of AB permeability, HBSS is removed from the apical compartment andreplaced with test compound dosing solution. The apical compartment insert is then placedinto a companion plate containing fresh buffer (containing ≤1 % v / v DMSO). For assessment of BA permeability, HBSS is removed from the companion plate and replaced with testcompound dosing solution. Fresh buffer (containing ≤1 % v / v DMSO) is added to the apicalcompartment insert, which is then placed into the companion plate. At 60 min the apical compartment inserts and the companion plates are separated and apical and basolateralsamples diluted for analysis. Test compound permeability is assessed in duplicate. Testcompounds of known permeability characteristics are run as controls on each assay plate. Test and control Test compounds are quantified by LC-MS / MS cassette analysis using a 7- point calibration with appropriate dilution of the samples. The express analytical method development procedure is performed using UHPLC on either a Waters XevoTMTQ-MS or a Waters XevoTMTQ-S micro. The procedure is performed in a stepwise manner to assess LC- MS / MS optimization and chromatography. The compound is assessed in clean solution using existing Cyprotex chromatographic methods using a UHPLC C18 column and a gradient consisting of either 10 mM ammonium formate with 0.1 % formic acid in water or 10 mM ammonium acetate in water, with either methanol or acetonitrile.50 nM and 0 µM standards in clean solution are prepared to assess the sensitivity and selectivity of the test article response. The starting concentration (C0) is determined from the dosing solution and the experimental recovery calculated from C0 and both apical and basolateral compartment concentrations. The integrity of the monolayer throughout the experiment is checked by monitoring lucifer yellow permeation using fluorimetric analysis. Data processingThe MDCK-MDR1 assay distinguishes between CNS-positive and CNS-negative compoundsbased on their Papp values (see https: / / www.cyprotex.com / admepk / in-vitro-permeability-and- drug-transporters / mdr1-mdck-permeability for detailed values).The permeability coefficient (Papp) for each test compound is calculated from the followingequation: ^P(dQ / dt) app= (C0 × A)Where dQ / dt is the rate of permeation of the drug across the cells, C0is the donor compartment concentration at time zero and A is the area of the cell monolayer. C0is obtained from analysis of the dosing solution. For bi-directional experiments, an efflux ratio (ER) is calculated from mean A-B and B-A data. This is derived from: If the ER is greater than or equal to 2 then this indicates drug efflux is occurring. Two controlsare screened alongside the test compounds, typically: antipyrine (high permeability) and prazosin (a P-glycoprotein substrate). Data are reported in Table 5. Table 5.

A 5 point standard curve of CPD-003 is made in 75:25 DMSO: water to give a range of concentrations; 5 µM, 500 nM, 50 nM, 5 nM and 0.5 nM.1 mL of aqueous buffer (selected from list above, other buffers are available on request) is added to solid CPD-003 in the vial supplied and placed on a rotary incubator table at room temperature for 24 hr. Following incubation, 200 µL of each of the incubated solutions is removed and filtered using a 96-well 0.4 µM MultiScreen HTS PCF Polycarbonate centrifugal filter plate. The filtrate is serially diluted 1 in 4, 1 in 40 and 1 in 400-fold into 75:25 DMSO:water. The standards and samples are quantified using a Waters Acquity UPLC-MS / MS system. The aqueous solubility of CPD- 003 is quantified from a linear fit of the standard curve. Data is presented in Table 6. LogD Shake Flask CPD-003 (0.5 mg) is dissolved in octanol pre-saturated with 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and sonicated for 30 min.0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) pre-saturated with octanol is added to the octanol solution and shaken at 1000 rpm for 30 min at 22 °C. The mixed samples are then centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min at 22 °C. An aliquot of the octanol fraction is removed from each mixture and diluted into DMSO. The remainder of the octanol fraction is removed, and an aliquot of the aqueous fraction is transferred into a fresh tube. The aqueous aliquot is centrifuged again at 1000 rpm for 5 min at 22 °C and an aliquot of the resulting aqueous fraction is diluted into DMSO. The resulting octanol and aqueous fraction solutions are analysed by LC-MS / MS using Cyprotex generic conditions. The relative amount of CPD-003 in the aqueous fraction solution is quantified against a 5 point standard curve, which is produced by serially diluting the octanol fraction solution. LogD is calculated using the following equation: Where: Coct = Concentration in octanol standard (corrected for dilution); Caq = Concentration in aqueous sample (corrected for dilution). Data is presented in Table 6. Biological stability in plasma Species-specific plasma is adjusted to pH 7.4 at 37 °C and CPD-003 (final substrate concentration 1 µM; final DMSO concentration 0.25 %) is added to initiate the reaction. The final incubation volume is 500 µL. A solvent control incubation is included, along with a positivecontrol known to be metabolised specifically by each species. The solvent control incubationis incubated for 120 min only. CPD-003 is incubated for 0, 5, 15, 30, 60 and 120 min at 37 °C. The reactions are stopped by transferring 50 µL of incubate to 150 µL acetonitrile containing internal standard at the appropriate time points. The termination plates are centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 30 min at 4 °C to precipitate the protein. This experimental procedure can also be applied to other biological matrices, such as blood, homogenate, simulated biological fluids and buffers. Quantitative Analysis Following protein precipitation, the sample supernatants are combined in cassettes of up to 4 test articles, diluted in a 1:6 ratio of supernatant:water and analysed using Cyprotex generic LC-MS / MS conditions. If the metabolite profiling option is chosen prior to the commencement of the study, samples are set aside for profiling. The level of metabolite profiling chosen depends on amount of knowledge and support required by the client and can include rapid high-resolution analysis to identify whether metabolites are formed, or more in-depth analysis and / or detailed fragmentation analysis to understand metabolite derivation. From a plot of ln peak area ratio (peak area / internal standard peak area) against time, the gradient of the line is determined. Subsequently, half-life is calculated using the equations below: Data is presented in Table 4. Liver Microsomal Stability (by Contract Research Organization) Pooled liver microsomes are purchased from a reputable commercial supplier. A range of species and strains are available upon request. Microsomes are stored at 80 °C prior to use. Microsomes (final protein concentration 0.5 mg / mL), 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 and CPD- 003 (final substrate concentration 1 µM; final DMSO concentration 0.25 %) are preincubated at 37 °C prior to the addition of NADPH (final concentration 1 mM) to initiate the reaction. A minus cofactor control incubation is included for each CPD-015 where 0.1 M phosphate buffer pH 7.4 is added instead of NADPH (minus NADPH). Two species-specific positive controls are also incubated alongside CPD-015 for each species. All incubations are performed singularly for CPD-003. CPD-003 is incubated for 0, 5, 15, 30 and 45 min. The control (minusNADPH) is incubated for 45 min only. The reactions are stopped by transferring incubate intoacetonitrile at the appropriate time points, in a 1:3 ratio. The termination plates are centrifuged at 3,000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C to precipitate the protein. Quantitative Analysis Following protein precipitation, the sample supernatants are combined in cassettes of up to 4 test articles, internal standard is added and samples analysed using Cyprotex generic LCMS / MS conditions. Data analysis From a plot of ln peak area ratio (peak area / internal standard peak area) against time, the gradient of the line is determined. Subsequently, half-life and intrinsic clearance are calculated using the equations below: where V = Incubation volume (µL) / Microsomal protein (mg). Data is presented in Table 6. Mitochondrial Toxicity (Glu / Gal) Objective: To measure the sensitivity and viability (cellular ATP content) of HepG2 cells grown in medium containing either galactose or glucose, in response to CPD-003. Procedure HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (other cell types available on request) are plated on an appropriately sized multi-well plate in suitable media at 37 °C in 5 % CO2 for 24 hr priorto dosing of the cells. CPD-003 is diluted in DMSO, or other suitable solvents and serialdilutions are made in 0.5 % DMSO or appropriate solvent in medium supplemented with either galactose or glucose. CPD-003 at 8 concentrations in triplicate is then incubated for 24 hr (other time points available on request). Appropriate controls are run alongside the assay. At the end of the incubation period, cellular ATP is measured using CellTiter-Glo® (Promega) Data The vehicle control wells are used to determine significance limits. The minimum effective concentration (MEC) is determined from the lowest concentration whose mean value exceeds the significance level, provided either a clear dose-response relationship is observed, or at least two consecutive concentration points are above the significance level. AC50 values are also determined provided a clear dose-response relationship is observed. If the AC50 in cells grown with glucose containing medium is >3-fold greater than with galactose containing medium CPD-003 is considered to be a mitochondrial toxicant. Screening Panel (MMP, MP, Cyto C) To assess the potential of CPD-003 to exhibit toxic effects on a panel of cell healthparameters (cell loss, nuclear morphology, cell membrane permeability, mitochondrial membrane potential changes, mitochondrial mass, DNA fragmentation and cytochrome C localisation). These targets have been shown to be predictive for compounds causing various forms of toxicity. Procedure HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (other cell lines are available upon request) are plated on appropriately sized multi-well plates in suitable media at 37°C in 5 % CO2 for 24 hr prior to dosing of the cells. CPD-003 is diluted in solvent, and serial dilutions are made in 0.5 % solvent, in growth media. CPD-003 at 8 concentrations (0.04, 0.1, 0.4, 1, 4, 10, 40, 100 µM) in triplicate is then incubated for 72 hr. Appropriate controls are run alongside the assay. At the end of the incubation period, the cells are loaded with the relevant dye / antibody for the appropriate time for each cell health marker. The plate is then scanned using an automated fluorescent cellular imager. The assay provides simultaneous measurement of multiple cell health parameters: ^Cell count: A decreasing number of cells per well indicates toxicity due to necrosis,apoptosis or a reduction in cellular proliferation. ^Nuclear size: An increase in nuclear area can indicate necrosis or G2 cell cycle arrestand a decrease can indicate apoptosis. ^DNA structure: An increase in DNA structure can indicate chromosomal instability andDNA fragmentation. ^Cell membrane permeability: An increase in cell membrane permeability is a generalindicator of cell death.^ Mitochondrial mass: A decrease in mitochondrial mass indicates loss of totalmitochondria and an increase implies mitochondrial swelling or an adaptive response to cellular energy demands. ^Mitochondrial membrane potential (Δψm): A decrease indicates a loss of mitochondrialmembrane potential and mitochondrial toxicity, as well as a potential role in apoptosis signalling, an increase in mitochondrial membrane potential indicates an adaptive response to cellular energy demands. ^Cytochrome c: An increase in cytochrome c release is one of the hallmarks of theapoptosis cascade. Data analysis For readouts other than cell count, a statistical approach to data analysis is used. The solvent controls are used to determine the definitions of “normal” for each parameter, then the software calculates the percentage of cells that are low or high responders (depending on the biological significance of a particular readout). The solvent control wells are then used to determine significance limits for wells that have a greater than expected fraction of low or high responders. The minimum effective concentration is determined from the lowest concentration whose mean value exceeds the significance level, provided either a clear dose-response relationship is observed, or at least two consecutive concentration points are above the significance level. AC50 values are also determined provided a clear dose-response relationship is observed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate plasma and tissue concentrations for CPD-001 and CPD-003 and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for CDP-003 following intravenous (IV) and oral administration (PO) at 10 mg / kg to male CD-1 mice. Formulation PreparationFormulations were prepared fresh on the day of the in vivo experiment.Pre-weighed CPD-001 and CPD-003 were dissolved in DMSO / Cremophor / PBS (10 / 10 / 80) toreach final concentration of 2 mg / mL for an intravenous dose of 10 mg / kg (IV) and 1 mg / mLfor an oral dose of 10 mg / kg (PO).AnimalsThis study was performed in male CD-1 mice 7 weeks old at the time of administration.Mice were kept in solid bottom cages (TECNIPLAST S.p A., Italy, Type III polysulphone cage;425 mm x 266 mm x 180 mm). The animals were kept on a 4 cm thick layer of corn cob grit,dust-free bedding (Scobis Due - Mucedola, Italy), with a provision of one paper shelter (LillicoBiotechnology, UK). Animals were kept in the holding room with the following environmentalconditions: temperature 22°C ±2, relative humidity 55% ±10, 15 - 20 air changes per hour,artificial light cycle of 12 hours light (7:00 to 19:00). Animals had free access to potable waterand food (SDS VRF 1 (P), UK). All animals were managed similarly and with due regard fortheir well-being according to prevailing practices and the experimental plan approved by CARE Zagreb (Committee for Animal Research Ethics).

Oral administration was performed by oral gavage using a syringe and a blunt metal probe, with a volume of administration of 10 mL / kg. Blood and plasma collection Prior to blood sampling from the tail vein, mice were placed in a warming cabinet (up to 10 minutes, maximum at 38˚C). Serial blood samples (ca. 100uL) were collected followingsuccessful puncture of the lateral tail vein using a needle, into K2EDTA-coated tubes.For terminal sampling, before sacrifice, the mice were anesthetized with a cocktail of ketamineand xylazine administered intraperitoneally. For each terminal time point, blood samples werecollected via jugular vein bleeds; ca 0.4 mL of blood were collected and transferred intoK2EDTA-coated tubes.Within 30 minutes after blood collection, samples were centrifuged at 1560 g for 10 min at 4°Cand the resulting plasma samples were aliquoted into polypropylene tubes (two aliquots of 20µL) and stored at -20°C until analysis. Tissue sampling Following terminal blood sampling at 0.5, 4 and 24h, animals were euthanized byexsanguination, Tissues were collected into Precellys® tubes, weighed individually, frozenand stored at –70° until analysis. CSF sampling CSF sampling will be performed in the anesthetized animals, following blood sampling, at 4h and 24h timepoints. Glass capillary will be used to puncture the cisterna magna and withdraw CSF. CSF sample (4-12 μL) will be transferred into pre-weighed LoBind tubes. Following collection and centrifugation (10000 rpm, 10 min, 4°C) samples will be inspected for blood contamination and if present, will be recorded. CSF will be diluted 1:1 with blank plasma, frozen and stored at –20° until analysis. Tubes will be identified with the matrix, animal number and the sampling-time after administration. Bioanalysis Analytical procedurePlasma, tissue concentrations and CSF were determined by research-qualified LC-MS / MSmethods.Samples were analysed on a SCIEX triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operating inTurboIonSpray mode. Blank mouse plasma was used for preparation of blank samples,calibrators and quality control samples (QC samples). Tissue samples were homogenized bythe addition of water. An aliquot of homogenate was diluted with blank plasma and quantified against plasma calibration curve.The study samples were assayed by batch with a calibration curve (six calibration standardlevels at least) including one level corresponding to the target LLOQ and the target ULOQ. A generic internal standard will be used.Each batch included QC samples in duplicate at three concentration levels (one near the limitof quantification, one in the mid-range, and one near the high end of the range).Washing solvent and double blank samples was run to avoid any contamination of a sampleby its preceding one.Back-calculated concentration of calibration and QC samples provided the basis of acceptingor rejecting the batch.The calibration equation was computed by least-squares regression using the selected model,and the concentration of each calibration sample was calculated. If the back-calculatedconcentration of a calibration sample does not fall within ±15% of the nominal concentration(±20% at the LLOQ), that sample was discarded, and the equation was recalculated. For thecalibration and the batch to be valid, the coefficient of determination (r²) must be higher than 0.98 and at least 75% of calibration samples have to remain included. Moreover, for the lowest and the highest levels, only one replicate out of two may be rejected. To qualify the batch, at least 67% of QCs must be within ±15% of their respective nominal, and ≥ 50% of QCs per level should be ±15% of their nominal value.
