METHODS OF TREATING HAPLOINSUFFICIENCY DISORDERS CROSS REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Application No.63 / 670,343, filed July 12, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] Disclosed herein are methods of treating a haploinsufficiency disorder or disease comprising administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutic amount of a chimeric heterocyclic polyamide compound or a composition thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] Haploinsufficiency disorders are characterized by a model of dominant gene action where a single copy of a wildtype allele at a locus in combination with a variant allele is insufficient to produce a wildtype phenotype. In some cases, haploinsufficiency arises via a de novo or inherited loss-of-function mutation in the variant allele which produces little or gene product (e.g., protein), while the wildtype allele produces a standard amount of the gene product, which is insufficient to result in a wild-type phenotype. Haploinsufficiency is thought to play a role in many human diseases such as Williams syndrome, autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, cancer, 1q21.1 deletion syndrome, 5q syndrome, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome, cleidocranial dysostosis, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, frontotemporal dementia, DiVivo syndrome, Holt-Oram syndrome, Marfan syndrome, Phelan-McDermid syndrome, Polydactyly, Dravet syndrome, FOXP1 syndrome, NR4A2-related syndrome, and Pitt-Hopkins syndrome.
[0004] For example, Pitt–Hopkins syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by developmental delay, epilepsy, distinctive facial features, and possible intermittent hyperventilation followed by apnea. PTHS can be marked by intellectual disabilities as well as problems with socializing.
[0005] This disorder is due to a haploinsufficiency of the transcription factor 4 (TCF4) gene which is located on the long arm of chromosome 18 (18q21.2). The TCF4 mutational spectrum includes 40% point mutations, 30% small deletions / insertions, and 30% deletions. Most are private mutations and generate premature stop codons. Almost all appear to be de novo mutations. Missense mutations are primarily localized in the bHLH domain, which is a mutational hotspot. There is no apparent genotype / phenotype correlation. A variety of TCF4 de novo translocations, deletions, insertions, nonsense, frame-shift, and splice-site mutations which affect overall TCF4 expression or the functionality of the bHLH domain have been identified in PTHS patients. Defects in TCF4 expression are also linked to Rhett syndrome, schizophrenia and rare intellectual disorders. These findings confirm that TCF4 haploinsufficiency is the molecular mechanism underlying PTHS. The present disclosure is directed in part to methods of treating PTHS.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0006] Disclosed herein are methods of treating a haploinsufficiency disorder or disease in a subject in need thereof, wherein the subject has a haploinsufficient gene, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound having (i) a first terminus comprising a DNA-binding moiety capable of binding a haploinsufficient gene, (ii) a second terminus comprising a protein-binding moiety, and (iii) an oligomeric backbone that links the first terminus and second terminus, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the haploinsufficient gene comprises a repetitive DNA sequence comprising a motif selected from CCCCWG, CCCCWGC, CCCCWWC, CCGGGG, CCWCC, CCWCW, CCWCWW, CCWGC, CCWWC, CCWWWW, CWC, CWCWCCC, CWCWCG, CWCWCWC, CWCWGCW, CWW, CWWCCWC, CWWWW, G, GCC, GCW, GCWC, GGGCCW, GGGGC, GGGGCG, GGGGWG, GGGWCW, GWCCCWG, GWGGGW, GWWW, W, WC, WCCCCW, WCCWW, WCWGC, WCWWC, WCWWCWW, WCWWWC, WCWWWG, WGGCCCC, WGGG, WGGGWGG, WGWC, WGWGWC, WGWGWGW, WGWWGG, WGWWWWG, WWGG, WWGGGW, WWGWWGG, WWWWWC, or WWWWWWC, wherein each W is independently A or T.
[0007] Without being bound by theory, the compounds of the present disclosure may facilitate transcription through the target genetic locus to elevate expression of a haploinsufficient gene.
[0008] Treatment of a subject with these compounds will modulate expression of a haploinsufficient gene, and this can reduce the occurrence, severity, or frequency of symptoms associated with disease. Certain compounds disclosed herein will provide higher binding affinity and selectivity than has been observed previously for this class of compounds.
[0009] The DNA binding moiety comprises a polyamide segment that will bind selectively to a target nucleotide sequence. Polyamides designed by for example Dervan (U.S. Patent Nos.9,630,950 and 8,524,899) and others can selectively bind to selected DNA sequences. These polyamides sit in the minor groove of double helical DNA and form hydrogen bonding interactions with the Watson-Crick base pairs. Polyamides that selectively bind to particular DNA sequences can be designed by linking monoamide building blocks according to established chemical rules. One building block is provided for each DNA base pair, with each building block binding noncovalently and selectively to one of the DNA base pairs: A / T, T / A, G / C, and C / G. Following this guideline, trinucleotides binds to molecules with three amide units, i.e. tri-amides. In general, these polyamides can orient in either direction of a DNA sequence.
[0010] In principle, longer DNA sequences can be targeted with higher specificity and / or higher affinity by combining a larger number of monoamide building blocks into longer polyamide chains. Ideally, the binding affinity for a polyamide would simply be equal to the sum of each individual monoamide / DNA base pair interaction. In practice, however, due to the geometric mismatch between the fairly rigid polyamide and DNA structures, longer polyamide sequences do not bind to longer DNA sequences as tightly as would be expected from a simple additive contribution. The geometric mismatch between longer polyamide sequences and longer DNA sequences induces an unfavorable geometric strain that subtracts from the binding affinity that would be otherwise expected.
[0011] It should be understood, however, that the detailed description and the specific examples, while indicating specific embodiments, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the instant disclosure will become apparent to those skilled in the art from this detailed description. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE

[0099] The binding affinity between the polyamide and the target gene can be adjusted based on the composition of the polyamide. In some embodiments, the polyamide is capable of binding the DNA with an affinity of less than about 600 nM, about 500 nM, about 400 nM, about 300 nM, about 250 nM, about 200 nM, about 150 nM, about 100 nM, or about 50nM. In some embodiments, the polyamide is capable of binding the DNA with an affinity of less than about 300 nM. In some embodiments, the polyamide is capable of binding the DNA with an affinity of less than about 200 nM. In some embodiments, the polyamide is capable of binding the DNA with an affinity of greater than about 200 nM, about 150 nM, about 100 nM, about 50 nM, about 10 nM, or about 1 nM. In some embodiments, the polyamide is capable of binding the DNA with an affinity in the range of about 1-600 nM, 10-500 nM, 20-500 nM, 50-400 nM, or 100-300 nM.
[0100] The binding affinity between the polyamide and the target DNA can be determined using a quantitative footprint titration experiment. The experiment involves measuring the dissociation constant Kdof the polyamide for the target sequence at either 24 ºC or 37 °C, and using either standard polyamide assay solution conditions or approximate intracellular solution conditions.
[0101] The binding affinity between the regulatory protein and the ligand on the second terminus can be determined using an assay suitable for the specific protein. The experiment involves measuring the dissociation constant Kd of the ligand for the protein and using either standard protein assay solution conditions or approximate intracellular solution conditions.
[0102] The polyamide composed of a pre-selected combination of subunits can selectively bind to the DNA in the minor groove. In their hairpin structure, antiparallel side-by-side pairings of two aromatic amino acids bind to DNA sequences, with a polyamide ring packed specifically against each DNA base. N-methyl pyrrole (Py) favors T, A, and C bases, excluding G; N-methylimidazole (Im) is a G-reader; and 3-hydroxyl- N-methylpyrrol (Hp) is specific for thymine base. The nucleotide base pairs can be recognized using different pairings of the amino acid subunits using the pairing principle shown in Table 1A. For example, an Im / Py pairing reads G·C by symmetry, a Py / Im pairing reads C·G, an Hp / Py pairing can distinguish T·A from A·T, G·C, and C·G, and a Py / Py pairing nonspecifically discriminates both A·T and T·A from G·C and C·G. Table 1A. Base pairing for single amino acid subunit (Favored (+), disfavored (-)).nucleotides. The binding property of HpBi, ImBi, and PyBi corresponds to Hp-Py, Im-Py, and Py-Py respectively.
[0103] The monomer subunits of the polyamide can be strung together based on the pairing principles shown in Table 1A.
[0104] Recognition of a nucleotide repeat or DNA sequence by two antiparallel polyamide strands depends on a code of side-by-side aromatic amino acid pairs in the minor groove, usually oriented N to C with respect to the 5’ to 3’ direction of the DNA helix.

Pharmaceutical Compositions and Administration
[0455] The compounds described herein are administered to a subject in need thereof, either alone or in combination with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, excipients, or diluents, in a pharmaceutical composition, according to standard pharmaceutical practice. In some embodiments, the compounds described herein are administered to animals.
[0456] In another aspect, provided herein are pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Pharmaceutical compositions are formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients that facilitate processing of the active compounds into preparations that can be used pharmaceutically. Proper formulation is dependent upon the route of administration chosen. A summary of pharmaceutical compositions described herein can be found, for example, in Remington: TheScience and Practice of Pharmacy, Nineteenth Ed (Easton, Pa.: Mack Publishing Company, 1995); Hoover, John E., Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pennsylvania 1975; Liberman, H.A. and Lachman, L., Eds., Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, Marcel Decker, New York, (N.Y., 1980; and Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Seventh Ed. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins1999), herein incorporated by reference for such disclosure.
[0457] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient is selected from carriers, binders, filling agents, suspending agents, flavoring agents, sweetening agents, disintegrating agents, dispersing agents, surfactants, lubricants, colorants, diluents, solubilizers, moistening agents, plasticizers, stabilizers, penetration enhancers, wetting agents, anti-foaming agents, antioxidants, preservatives, and any combinations thereof.
[0458] The dose of a pharmaceutical agent described herein for treating a disease or disorder may depend upon the subject’s condition, that is, stage of the disease, severity of symptoms caused by the disease, general health status, as well as age, gender, and weight, and other factors apparent to a person skilled in the medical art. Pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in a manner appropriate to the disease to be treated as determined by persons skilled in the medical arts. In addition to the factors described herein and above related to use of pharmaceutical agent for treating a disease or disorder, suitable duration and frequency of administration of the pharmaceutical agent may also be determined or adjusted by such factors as the condition of the patient, the type and severity of the patient’s disease, the particular form of the active ingredient, and the method of administration. Optimal doses of an agent may generally be determined using experimental models and / or clinical trials. The optimal dose may depend upon the body mass, weight, or blood volume of the subject. The use of the minimum dose that is sufficient to provide effective therapy is usually preferred. Design and execution of pre-clinical and clinical studies for a pharmaceutical agent, including when administered for prophylactic benefit, described herein are well within the skill of a person skilled in the relevant art. When two or more pharmaceutical agents are administered to treat a disease or disorder, the optimal dose of each pharmaceutical agent may be different, such as less than when either agent is administered alone as a single agent therapy. In certain particular embodiments, two pharmaceutical agents in combination may act synergistically or additively, and either agent may be used in a lesser amount than if administered alone. An amount of a pharmaceutical agent that may be administered per day may be, for example, between about 0.01 mg / kg and 100 mg / kg, e.g., between about 0.1 to 1 mg / kg, between about 1 to 10 mg / kg, between about 10-50 mg / kg, between about 50-100 mg / kg body weight. In other embodiments, the amount of a pharmaceutical agent that may be administered per day is between about 0.01 mg / kg and 1000 mg / kg, between about 100-500 mg / kg, or between about 500-1000 mg / kg body weight. The optimal dose, per day or per course of treatment, may be different for the disease or disorder to be treated and may also vary with the administrative route and therapeutic regimen. Definitions
