Description
[0001]Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) TITLE Antifungal Compounds and Methods of Use Same for Inhibiting Group I Intron Splicing CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 5 This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 670,172, filed July 12, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND 10 Drugs against self-splicing group I introns can be promising pan-fungal agents, as that target is necessary for proper mitochondrial function in all fungi. Because humans do not have group I introns in their genome, drugs that target them do not generally show any toxicity in humans. This gives the promise of generating pan-fungal drugs that are so well- tolerated by humans that they can be taken in the bloodstream. 15 However, current antifungal treatments often suffer from limitations such as toxicity, limited spectrum of activity, and the emergence of resistant fungal strains. Many existing drugs can lead to significant side effects. Moreover, some fungal infections remain challenging to treat effectively, particularly in immunocompromised patients. This underscores the necessity for novel antifungal agents with unique mechanisms of action that 20 can overcome these challenges. There is thus a need in the art for improved therapeutics that can be used to treat, prevent, and / or ameliorate fungal infections. The disclosure addresses and satisfies this need. BRIEF SUMMARY 25 In one aspect, the disclosure provides a compound of Formula (I), or a salt, stereoisomer, tautomer, or isotopologue thereof, wherein R1a, R2a, R2b, L, X1, X2, X3, X4, Y, and bond a are defined elsewhere herein: I).

FIGs.1A-1B show representative group I introns readily self-splice under near- physiological conditions in the presence of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), whose 3’–OH acts as the reaction nucleophile for initiation of the splicing reaction. FIG.1A shows the self- 20 splicing time course of the C.a.mtLSU intron in the presence of 50 µM GTP is shown. The splicing time courses were performed under a standard group I intron splicing buffer (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2) incubated at 37oC. The time point samples were analyzed on a 5 % polyacrylamide / 8 M urea gel to resolve individual bands. Bands corresponding to the precursor, splicing intermediate (intron-3’ exon), fully spliced linear intron and the ligated 25 exon are indicated in the figure. The middle part of the gel is not shown as no bands are visible within that region and the top and bottom parts of the gel are indicated in the figure. FIG.1B shows self-splicing time course of the C.au.cytB intron in the presence of 200 µM GTP. FIGs.2A-2D show kinetic and enzymological characterization of the self-splicing of 30 representative fungal group I introns. Guanosine was used as the reaction nucleophile. All reactions were performed in triplicates. Error bars on the graph represent standard errors of the mean (s.e.m.). For the C.a.mtLSU intron, all experiments were performed under an ultra- mild condition (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2) at ambient temperature (25oC). FIG.2A: Self-splicing time course in the presence of 250 µM - 2 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) guanosine, a concentration near the inflection point of the Michaelis curve, which gives an apparent precursor conversion rate constant (kobs) of 1.07 ± 0.05 min-1. FIG.2B: The Michaelis-Menten plot with kobs plotting against guanosine concentration. The Michaelis constant for guanosine (^^ெீ) is 356 ± 10 µM and the catalytic turnover (kcat) is 2.6 ± 0.2 min- 51. The initial rate plot is shown as the bottom insert, giving the overall catalytic efficiency (kcat / ^^ெீ) of (5.6 ± 0.2) x 104M-1min-1. For the C.au.cytB intron (FIG.2C and FIG.2D), all experiments were performed under a standard group I intron splicing condition (50 mM K- HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2) at 37oC. FIG.2C shows the results of the self-splicing time course in the presence of 50 µM guanosine, a concentration near the inflection point of the 10 Michaelis curve (FIG.2D), which gives an apparent precursor conversion rate constant (kobs) of 0.24 ± 0.02 min-1. FIG.2D shows the related Michaelis-Menten plot of FIG.2C. The Michaelis constant (^^ெீ) is 54 ± 5 µM and the catalytic turnover (kcat) is 0.55 ± 0.02 min-1. The initial rate plot is shown, giving the overall catalytic efficiency (kcat / ^^ெீ) of (6.8 ± 0.4) x 104M-1min-1. 15 FIG.3A shows the biochemical characterization of the P11 pseudoknot in the C.a.mtLSU intron.

For example, a claimed act of doing X and a claimed act of doing Y can be 25 conducted simultaneously within a single operation, and the resulting process will fall within the literal scope of the claimed process. Description While fungi and animals share proteomic similarities, their RNA metabolism is very 30 different, as fungi encode many specialized RNAs that are essential for viability. For example, important fungal messenger RNAs contain “self-splicing introns”, which are sections of RNA that must excise themselves for the gene to be functional. Unlike introns in human genes (which are removed by an enzyme known as the spliceosome), self-splicing introns are autocatalytic RNAs (ribozymes) that adopt conformations enabling them to splice - 6 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) themselves from parent transcripts. In fungi and yeasts, self-splicing RNA introns interrupt important housekeeping genes, and their splicing is required for the expression of proteins involved in respiration, protein synthesis and other functions, particularly in mitochondria. For example, fungal cytochrome b (Cytb), cytochrome oxidase (Cox1) and mitochondrial 5 ribosomal RNAs contain a structurally conserved class of RNAs known as self-splicing group I introns that must be spliced for viability (FIG.8A). Inhibition of these introns prevents yeast growth and biofilm formation. These unique elements of fungal metabolism represent an Achilles’ heel that can be exploited for the design of new antifungal drugs. It is important to note that the present approach extends the development of new compound classes that 10 disrupt mitochondrial function in fungal pathogens. Compounds of the disclosure may be clinically efficacious in combination with several known antifungal drugs.

The term “heterocyclyl” as used herein refers to aromatic and non-aromatic ring compounds containing three or more ring members, of which one or more is a heteroatom such as, but not limited to, N, O, and S. Thus, a heterocyclyl can be a cycloheteroalkyl, or a heteroaryl, or if polycyclic, any combination thereof. In some embodiments, heterocyclyl 30 groups include 3 to about 20 ring members, whereas other such groups have 3 to about 15 ring members. A heterocyclyl group designated as a C2-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with two carbon atoms and three heteroatoms, a 6-ring with two carbon atoms and four heteroatoms and so forth. Likewise a C4-heterocyclyl can be a 5-ring with one heteroatom, a 6-ring with two heteroatoms, and so forth. The number of carbon atoms plus the number of heteroatoms - 12 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) equals the total number of ring atoms. A heterocyclyl ring can also include one or more double bonds. A heteroaryl ring is an embodiment of a heterocyclyl group. The phrase “heterocyclyl group” includes fused ring species including those that include fused aromatic and non-aromatic groups.

In certain embodiments, sites on, for example, the aromatic ring portion of compound(s) described herein are susceptible to various metabolic reactions. Incorporation of appropriate substituents on the aromatic ring structures may reduce, minimize or eliminate 15 this metabolic pathway. In certain embodiments, the appropriate substituent to decrease or eliminate the susceptibility of the aromatic ring to metabolic reactions is, by way of example only, a deuterium, a halogen, or an alkyl group. Compounds described herein also include isotopically-labeled compounds wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic 20 mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds described herein include and are not limited to2H,3H,11C,13C,14C,36Cl,18F,123I,125I,13N,15N,15O,17O,18O,32P, and35S. In certain embodiments, isotopically-labeled compounds are useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. In other embodiments, substitution with heavier isotopes such as 25 deuterium affords greater metabolic stability (for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements). In yet other embodiments, substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as11C,18F,15O and13N, is useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds are prepared by any suitable method or by processes using an appropriate isotopically-labeled 30 reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed. In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein are labeled by other means, including, but not limited to, the use of chromophores or fluorescent moieties, bioluminescent labels, or chemiluminescent labels. The compounds described herein, and other related compounds having different - 57 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) substituents are synthesized using techniques and materials described herein and as described, for example, in Fieser & Fieser’s Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-17 (John Wiley and Sons, 1991); Rodd’s Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5 and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989); Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley and 5 Sons, 1991), Larock’s Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989), March, Advanced Organic Chemistry 4thEd., (Wiley 1992); Carey & Sundberg, Advanced Organic Chemistry 4th Ed., Vols. A and B (Plenum 2000,2001), and Green & Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis 3rd Ed., (Wiley 1999) (all of which are incorporated by reference for such disclosure). General methods for the preparation of 10 compound as described herein are modified by the use of appropriate reagents and conditions, for the introduction of the various moieties found in the formula as provided herein. Compounds described herein are synthesized using any suitable procedures starting from compounds that are available from commercial sources, or are prepared using procedures described herein. 15 In certain embodiments, reactive functional groups, such as hydroxyl, amino, imino, thio or carboxy groups, are protected in order to avoid their unwanted participation in reactions. Protecting groups are used to block some or all of the reactive moieties and prevent such groups from participating in chemical reactions until the protective group is removed. In other embodiments, each protective group is removable by a different means. Protective 20 groups that are cleaved under totally disparate reaction conditions fulfill the requirement of differential removal. In certain embodiments, protective groups are removed by acid, base, reducing conditions (such as, for example, hydrogenolysis), and / or oxidative conditions. Groups such as trityl, dimethoxytrityl, acetal and t-butyldimethylsilyl are acid labile and are used to 25 protect carboxy and hydroxy reactive moieties in the presence of amino groups protected with Cbz groups, which are removable by hydrogenolysis, and Fmoc groups, which are base labile. Carboxylic acid and hydroxy reactive moieties are blocked with base labile groups such as, but not limited to, methyl, ethyl, and acetyl, in the presence of amines that are blocked with acid labile groups, such as t-butyl carbamate, or with carbamates that are both 30 acid and base stable but hydrolytically removable. In certain embodiments, carboxylic acid and hydroxy reactive moieties are blocked with hydrolytically removable protective groups such as the benzyl group, while amine groups capable of hydrogen bonding with acids are blocked with base labile groups such as Fmoc. Carboxylic acid reactive moieties are protected by conversion to simple ester - 58 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) compounds as exemplified herein, which include conversion to alkyl esters, or are blocked with oxidatively-removable protective groups such as 2,4-dimethoxybenzyl, while co- existing amino groups are blocked with fluoride labile silyl carbamates. Allyl blocking groups are useful in the presence of acid- and base- protecting groups 5 since the former are stable and are subsequently removed by metal or pi-acid catalysts. For example, an allyl-blocked carboxylic acid is deprotected with a palladium-catalyzed reaction in the presence of acid labile t-butyl carbamate or base-labile acetate amine protecting groups. Yet another form of protecting group is a resin to which a compound or intermediate is attached. As long as the residue is attached to the resin, that functional group is blocked 10 and does not react. Once released from the resin, the functional group is available to react. Typically blocking / protecting groups may be selected from: . to the creation of protecting groups and their removal are described in Greene & Wuts, Protective 15 Groups in Organic Synthesis, 3rd Ed., John Wiley & Sons, New York, NY, 1999, and Kocienski, Protective Groups, Thieme Verlag, New York, NY, 1994, which are incorporated herein by reference for such disclosure.

Controlled Release Formulations and Drug Delivery Systems - 71 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) In certain embodiments, the formulations described herein can be, but are not limited to, short-term, rapid-offset, as well as controlled, for example, sustained release, delayed release and pulsatile release formulations. The term sustained release is used in its conventional sense to refer to a drug 5 formulation that provides for gradual release of a drug over an extended period of time, and that may, although not necessarily, result in substantially constant blood levels of a drug over an extended time period. The period of time may be as long as a month or more and should be a release which is longer that the same amount of agent administered in bolus form. For sustained release, the compounds may be formulated with a suitable polymer or 10 hydrophobic material which provides sustained release properties to the compounds. As such, the compounds for use with the method(s) described herein may be administered in the form of microparticles, for example, by injection or in the form of wafers or discs by implantation. In some cases, the dosage forms to be used can be provided as slow or controlled- release of one or more active ingredients therein using, for example, hydropropylmethyl 15 cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems, multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, or microspheres or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Suitable controlled-release formulations known to those of ordinary skill in the art, including those described herein, can be readily selected for use with the pharmaceutical compositions described herein. Thus, single unit dosage 20 forms suitable for oral administration, such as tablets, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets, that are adapted for controlled-release are encompassed by the compositions and dosage forms described herein. Most controlled-release pharmaceutical products have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled counterparts. Ideally, the use of an 25 optimally designed controlled-release preparation in medical treatment is characterized by a minimum of drug substance being employed to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-release formulations include extended activity of the drug, reduced dosage frequency, and increased patient compliance. In addition, controlled-release formulations can be used to affect the time of onset of action or other 30 characteristics, such as blood level of the drug, and thus can affect the occurrence of side effects. Most controlled-release formulations are designed to initially release an amount of drug that promptly produces the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release of other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic effect over an extended - 72 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) period of time. In order to maintain this constant level of drug in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of drug being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various inducers, for 5 example pH, temperature, enzymes, water, or other physiological conditions or compounds. The term “controlled-release component” is defined herein as a compound or compounds, including, but not limited to, polymers, polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, liposomes, or microspheres or a combination thereof that facilitates the controlled-release of the active ingredient. In some embodiments, the compound(s) described herein are 10 administered to a patient, alone or in combination with another pharmaceutical agent, using a sustained release formulation. In some embodiments, the compound(s) described herein are administered to a patient, alone or in combination with another pharmaceutical agent, using a sustained release formulation. The term delayed release is used herein in its conventional sense to refer to a drug 15 formulation that provides for an initial release of the drug after some delay following drug administration and that mat, although not necessarily, includes a delay of from about 10 minutes up to about 12 hours. The term pulsatile release is used herein in its conventional sense to refer to a drug formulation that provides release of the drug in such a way as to produce pulsed plasma 20 profiles of the drug after drug administration. The term immediate release is used in its conventional sense to refer to a drug formulation that provides for release of the drug immediately after drug administration. As used herein, short-term refers to any period of time up to and including about 8 hours, about 7 hours, about 6 hours, about 5 hours, about 4 hours, about 3 hours, about 2 25 hours, about 1 hour, about 40 minutes, about 20 minutes, or about 10 minutes and any or all whole or partial increments thereof after drug administration after drug administration. As used herein, rapid-offset refers to any period of time up to and including about 8 hours, about 7 hours, about 6 hours, about 5 hours, about 4 hours, about 3 hours, about 2 hours, about 1 hour, about 40 minutes, about 20 minutes, or about 10 minutes, and any and all 30 whole or partial increments thereof after drug administration. Dosing The therapeutically effective amount or dose of a compound described herein depends on the age, sex and weight of the patient, the current medical condition of the patient and the - 73 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) progression of a disease state in the patient being treated. The skilled artisan is able to determine appropriate dosages depending on these and other factors. A suitable dose of a compound described herein can be in the range of from about 0.01 mg to about 5,000 mg per day, such as from about 0.1 mg to about 1,000 mg, for 5 example, from about 1 mg to about 500 mg, such as about 5 mg to about 250 mg per day. The dose may be administered in a single dosage or in multiple dosages, for example from 1 to 4 or more times per day. When multiple dosages are used, the amount of each dosage may be the same or different. For example, a dose of 1 mg per day may be administered as two 0.5 mg doses, with about a 12-hour interval between doses. 10 It is understood that the amount of compound dosed per day may be administered, in non-limiting examples, every day, every other day, every 2 days, every 3 days, every 4 days, or every 5 days. For example, with every other day administration, a 5 mg per day dose may be initiated on Monday with a first subsequent 5 mg per day dose administered on Wednesday, a second subsequent 5 mg per day dose administered on Friday, and so on. 15 In the case wherein the patient’s status does improve, upon the doctor’s discretion the administration of the compound(s) described herein is optionally given continuously; alternatively, the dose of drug being administered is temporarily reduced or temporarily suspended for a certain length of time (i.e., a “drug holiday”). The length of the drug holiday optionally varies between 2 days and 1 year, including by way of example only, 2 days, 3 20 days, 4 days, 5 days, 6 days, 7 days, 10 days, 12 days, 15 days, 20 days, 28 days, 35 days, 50 days, 70 days, 100 days, 120 days, 150 days, 180 days, 200 days, 250 days, 280 days, 300 days, 320 days, 350 days, or 365 days. The dose reduction during a drug holiday includes from 10%-100%, including, by way of example only, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 100%. 25 Once improvement of the patient’s conditions has occurred, a maintenance dose is administered if necessary. Subsequently, the dosage or the frequency of administration, or both, is reduced to a level at which the improved disease is retained. In certain embodiments, patients require intermittent treatment on a long-term basis upon any recurrence of symptoms and / or infection. 30 The compounds described herein can be formulated in unit dosage form. The term “unit dosage form” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosage for patients undergoing treatment, with each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, optionally in association with a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. The unit dosage form may be for a single daily dose or one of - 74 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) multiple daily doses (e.g., about 1 to 4 or more times per day). When multiple daily doses are used, the unit dosage form may be the same or different for each dose. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such therapeutic regimens are optionally determined in cell cultures or experimental animals, including, but not limited to, the 5 determination of 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 the toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index, which is expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. The data obtained from cell culture assays and animal studies are optionally used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human. The dosage of such compounds lies 10 preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED50with minimal toxicity. The dosage optionally varies within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. EXAMPLES 15 Various embodiments of the present application can be better understood by reference to the following Examples which are offered by way of illustration. The scope of the present application is not limited to the Examples given herein. Materials and Methods 20 Mitochondrial genome retrieval, group I intron discovery, annotation and structural analysis Reference mitochondrial genomes of human pathogenic fungi were retrieved from the NCBI GenBank database. To survey genomes for the presence of group I introns, the RNAweasel pipeline (https: / / megasun[dot]bch[dot]umontreal[dot]ca / cgi- bin / RNAweasel / RNAweaselInterface[dot]pl) was first used to identify the location of 25 conserved intron secondary motifs P3 / P8 / P7 and P4-P6. Mitochondrial genomes with putative group I intron(s) identified were then further annotated using the MFannot pipeline (https: / / megasun[dot]bch[dot]umontreal[dot]ca / cgi-bin / dev_mfa / mfannotInterface[dot]pl). The annotations were further subjected to manual inspection to validate flanking gene identities. Intron boundaries were then manually identified using established group I intron 30 splice site selection rules. Once the span of intron sequence had been identified, secondary structures were predicted using mfold with constraints generated from the RNAweasel pipeline. These were output in the connection table format and secondary structure diagrams were created using Adobe Illustrator following the established Cech representation. - 75 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) DNA constructs, RNA in vitro transcription and purification DNA fragments containing a T7 promoter, 40-nt flanking exons, the intron and a terminal BamHI cleavage site were commercially synthesized (Eurofins Blue Heron) and cloned into the pUCminusMCS vector. To generate a precursor construct for the C.au.cytB 5 intron, the basal stem of intron P2 was preserved while additional sequences (containing intronic ORF sequence) were reduced to a simple UUCG tetraloop that caps the basal stem of P2. Plasmids containing the sequences of the intron self-splicing constructs (denoted as pLTS202 for the C.au.cytB intron, pLTS204 for the C.a.mtLSU intron; sequences of plasmid inserts were linearized using BamHI (New England Biolabs) to generate DNA templates for 10 in vitro transcription. The P11-unzip mutant construct of the C.a.mtLSU intron was prepared using a PfuUltra II Hotstart PCR Master Mix (Agilent) with routine site-directed mutagenesis protocol. The sequence of the resulting plasmid (denoted pLTS227) was verified with Sanger sequencing (Quintara Biosciences). Radiolabeled precursor RNA transcripts were prepared as follows: 5 μg of linearized plasmid, 3.6 mM of each NTP (except UTP), 1 mM of UTP along 15 with 50 μCi of [α-32P]-UTP (PerkinElmer), and T7 RNA polymerase (P266L mutant, expressed and purified in-house) were added to a transcription buffer containing 40 mM Tris- HCl pH 8.0, 10 mM NaCl, 15 mM MgCl2, 2 mM spermidine, 0.01 % Triton X-100 and 10 mM DTT. The reaction was incubated at 37 °C for 1.5 h, followed by DNase I (Invitrogen) digestion for 10 min and subsequent purification on a 0.4 mm-thickness 5 % denaturing 20 polyacrylamide (29:1) gel. The band corresponding to precursor RNA was cut and eluted overnight in a gel elution buffer (10 mM Na-MOPS pH 6.0, 300 mM NaCl and 1 mM EDTA). The RNA transcripts were ethanol precipitated and resuspended in an RNA storage buffer (6 mM Na-MES pH 6.0). The RNA stock solution was aliquoted and stored frozen. 25 Self-splicing assay for the C.a.mtLSU intron For pilot self-splicing assays, body-labelled precursor RNA transcribed from plasmid pLTS204 (10 nM final concentration) was incubated in 50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5 at 90 °C for 1 min, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 5 min.2 μl of 10x MgCl2 stock solution was then added to the final concentration of 5 mM and folded for additional 5 min. The splicing 30 reaction was initiated by adding 2 μl of 10x GTP stock solution (MedChemExpress) to the final concentration of 50 μM. The final reaction volume was 20 μl and the reaction was incubated at 37 °C. To monitor reaction time courses, 1 μl was removed from the reaction mixture at specific time points and quenched by mixing with 2x formamide loading buffer (72 % (v / v) formamide, 10 % sucrose, 0.2 % bromophenol blue dye, 0.2 % xylene cyanol dye - 76 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) and 50 mM EDTA) and placing on ice. The timepoint samples were then loaded onto a 0.4 mm-thickness 5 % denaturing polyacrylamide gel to resolve individual bands. For enzymological characterization, body-labelled precursor RNA (10 nM final concentration) was incubated in 50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5 at 90 °C for 1 min, followed by incubation at 25 5 °C for 5 min.5 μl of 4x KCl stock solution was first added to the final concentration of 150 mM.2 μl of 10x MgCl2stock solution was then added to the final concentration of 3 mM and folded for additional 5 min. The splicing reaction was initiated by adding 2 μl of 10x guanosine stock solution in DMSO (Sigma) to a final volume of 20 μl, leading to a final DMSO% of 10 % (v / v) in the reaction. Reactions were incubated at 25 °C and the time 10 course samples were analyzed. For comparison of the wild-type intron and the P11-unzip mutant, body-labelled precursor RNA (10 nM final concentration; transcribed from either pLTS204 for the wild- type or pLTS227 for the unzip mutant) was incubated in 50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5 at 90 °C for 1 min, followed by incubation at 25 °C for 5 min.5 μl of 4x KCl stock solution was first 15 added to the final concentration of 150 mM, followed by the addition of 4 μl of 50 % (v / v) PEG-4000 (Hampton Research).2 μl of 10x MgCl2 stock solution was then added to the final concentration of 3 mM and folded for additional 5 min. The splicing reaction was initiated by adding 2 μl of 10x (200 μM) guanosine stock solution in water to a final volume of 20 μl. Reactions were incubated at 25 °C and the time course samples were analyzed as described 20 before. Self-splicing assay for C.au.cytB intron For pilot self-splicing assays, body-labelled precursor RNA transcribed from plasmid pLTS202 (10 nM final concentration) was incubated in 50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5 at 90 °C for 25 1 min, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 5 min.2 μl of 10x MgCl2stock solution was then added to the final concentration of 5 mM and folded for additional 5 min. The splicing reaction was initiated by adding 2 μl of 10x GTP stock solution to the final concentration of 200 μM. The final reaction volume was 20 μl and the reaction was incubated at 37 °C. For enzymological characterization, body-labelled precursor RNA (10 nM final concentration) 30 was incubated in 50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5 at 90 °C for 1 min, followed by incubation at 37 °C for 5 min.2 μl of 10x MgCl2stock solution was then added to the final concentration of 5 mM and folded for additional 5 min. The splicing reaction was initiated by adding 2 μl of 10x guanosine stock solution in DMSO to a final volume of 20 μl, leading to a final DMSO% of 10 % (v / v) in the reaction. The reactions were incubated at 37 °C. - 77 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) Data analysis Gels containing the separated reaction products were dried and exposed to phosphor screens overnight. The screens were scanned using a Typhoon RGB Biomolecular imager 5 (Cytiva). Individual bands were quantified using ImageQuant 8.2 software (GE Healthcare). Band intensity was corrected for the uridine content of corresponding species and internally calibrated by calculating the fraction of each intron-containing species in the reaction. The precursor depletion time course data were analyzed and plotted using Kaleidagraph 4.5.4 (Synergy Software). The data were fitted by a monophasic depletion kinetic model (Eq.1) 10 (Eq.1) where fprecursoris the ly converting precursor, kobs is the observed rate and finactive is the fraction of non-converting precursor. All reaction time courses were performed in triplicate and error bars in the kinetic plots were reported as standard errors of the mean (s.e.m.). To determine the enzymological parameters 15 for group I intron catalysis, the observed rate constant (kobs) was obtained from the precursor depletion time course, plotted against the titration of guanosine concentration and fitted to the Michaelis-Menten equation (Eq.2). The experiments were performed in triplicate to ensure reproducibility and all values are reported as mean ± s.e.m.

Higher value implies better inhibition. 10 Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) C. albicans growth inhibition was measured for compounds where kobs > 0.1 min-1. Compound concentrations tested included: 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25 µg / mL. Test compounds were incubated for 24 hours. 15 Example 1: Self-splicing of the Candida albicans mtLSU Group IA1 intron (C.a.mtLSU) Candida albicans contains two group IA1 introns in its mtLSU gene (Table 2), both of which lack an intronic ORF. Since the mtLSU.I2 intron is devoid of the P2 motif, a peripheral structural motif known to promote in vitro self-splicing, and lacks homologs across fungal species, mtLSU.I1 (referred to as the C.a.mtLSU intron hereafter) was selected, 20 which maintains a complete intron structure , as the model intron for examining the mechanistic behavior of the prevalent group IA1 lineage. Importantly, the C.a.mtLSU intron should not be confused with the C.a.LSU intron. The latter is a group IE2 intron inserted within the nuclear-encoded ribosomal large subunit gene, and it lacks homologs across different fungal pathogens. 25 A first self-splicing was tested under a standard set of conditions for group I intron splicing (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 50 μM GTP at 37 °C). The C.a.mtLSU intron efficiently catalyzes both steps of self-splicing without undergoing further cyclization, giving rise to fully spliced linear intron and ligated exon (FIG.1A). After sampling a diversity of self-splicing conditions, it was surprising to observe that the intron undergoes 30 efficient self-splicing even at ambient temperatures (25 °C) under a near-physiological salt condition (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 150 mM KCl, 3 mM MgCl2), which inspired an experiment to conduct detailed characterization using this exceptionally mild condition (FIG. 2A). A guanosine nucleoside rather than GTP was used as the reaction cofactor because it is uncharged, and therefore lacks an electrostatic component that can influence affinity between - 80 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) cofactor and intron. Indicative of robust, uniform intron folding, the intron precursor converted to product in a kinetic time course without a lag phase, fitting well to a single exponential equation (FIG.2A). Quantitation of the data yielded an apparent precursor depletion rate constant of 1.07 ± 0.05 min−1at 250 μM guanosine (FIG.2A). Such robust 5 biochemical activity under ambient temperature and physiological salt concentration is unprecedented for group I introns, which often become caught in rate-limiting kinetic folding traps and require temperatures exceeding 30 °C for catalysis. To gain further insights into the molecular origin of the observed exceptional biochemical robustness, an unzip mutant disrupting the P11 pseudoknot (FIG.3A) was designed and showed that the mutant intron is10 no longer able to self-splice at this exceptionally mild condition (FIG.3B), while the self- splicing activity of the mutant can be partially rescued by the addition of crowding agent PEG-4000 (polyethylene glycerol 4000) (FIG.3B), which is known to promote RNA folding and catalytic efficiency. Hence, it was biochemically established that P11 is the key structural element that strengthens intron folding and contributes to the unprecedented catalytic 15 robustness of the C.a.mtLSU intron, in line with the previous observations made on the yeast mtLSU IA1 intron. Given the apparent efficiency of this reaction, it was of interest to obtain a full set of guanosine-dependent enzymological parameters for C.a.mtLSU intron self-splicing under near-physiological conditions. To this end, splicing time courses were obtained at varying 20 guanosine concentrations and the resulting reaction rate constants were plotted as function of guanosine concentration (FIG.3B). The resulting hyperbolic plot was fit with a standard Michaelis-Menten equation, enabling the calculation of the apparent binding constant for guanosine (^^ெீ, 356 ± 10 μM). The Michaelis constant is comparable to that of the yeast bI5 intron (310 μM), a group IA1 intron that requires a protein cofactor for splicing. The apparent 25 guanosine affinity is slightly weaker than reported for Azoarcus (17 μM), Anabaena (240 μM) and Tetrahymena (30 μM) introns. Remarkably, the catalytic turnover number (kcat) reaches 2.6 ± 0.2 min−1, which is an order of magnitude higher than that reported for the Azoarcus (0.2 min−1) and Anabaena (0.3 min−1) introns and three times higher than the Tetrahymena (0.9 min−1) intron. As such, C.a.mtLSU intron demonstrates the most rapid 30 turnover number among group I introns studied to date, despite the mild reaction conditions. The overall catalytic efficiency (kcat / ^^ெீ) is (5.6 ± 0.01) × 104M−1min−1, as determined from the initial rate plot (FIG.2B), which is nearly 50-fold higher than the same IA1-lineage yeast bI5 intron (1.2 × 103M−1min−1),51 comparable to that of the Anabaena (4.6 × 104M−1min−1) - 81 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) and Tetrahymena (2.8 × 104M−1min−1) introns, while smaller than the Azoarcus (12 × 104M−1min−1) intron as a result of weaker guanosine binding. Collectively, results herein demonstrate that the C.a.mtLSU intron rapidly self-splices without protein cofactor even under conditions that do not support the self-splicing of other legacy group I introns, while 5 maintaining a high level of catalytic efficiency. More importantly, at a saturating cofactor (guanosine) concentration, the turnover number is unusually high, suggesting a particularly robust catalytic mechanism that is unprecedented for group I intron splicing catalysis. Table 2. Group I introns in human pathogens of medical importance. GenBank ORF Organism Accession Intron Subclass Position 10 Example 2: Self-splicing of the Candida auris cytB group ID intron (C.au.cytB) The group ID intron in the C. auris cytB gene (referred to as the C.au.cytB intron - 82 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) hereafter) also displays robust self-splicing activity under the standard splicing condition (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2, 200 μM GTP at 37 °C) (FIG.1B), though there are differences in the salt and temperature dependence as well as cofactor affinity relative to the C.a.mtLSU intron (FIG.2C and FIG.2D). The intron cannot undergo self-splicing when 5 incubated at ambient temperatures; rather the optimal reaction temperature for splicing is higher (37 °C). The intron also requires slightly higher concentration of Mg2+(5 mM) for efficient precursor conversion. Therefore, a standard salt condition (50 mM K-HEPES pH 7.5, 5 mM MgCl2) was chosen with a titration of guanosine concentration for subsequent enzymological characterization. The apparent rate constant at 50 μM guanosine (FIG.2C) is 10 0.24 ± 0.02 min−1, a slower rate than the C.a.mtLSU intron (FIG.2A) despite the fact that it was obtained at elevated temperature and higher Mg2+concentration. This biochemical observation suggests that folding and catalysis by this intron is less robust than that of the C.a.mtLSU intron, which is likely due to the structural differences between the two introns. The C.au.cytb intron has a much smaller core (P6) for the scaffolding domain, which may 15 confer reduced mechanical stability relative to the C.a.mtLSU intron, which has a larger and more stable P6. Full splicing time courses with varying guanosine concentrations were then conducted and the resulting kobs values were plotted as a function of guanosine and fit to the Michaelis-Menten equation (FIG.2D), enabling derivation of the apparent binding constant for guanosine (^^ெீ, 54.5 μM), which is much tighter than that of the C.a.mtLSU intron and on 20 par with that of the Azoarcus and Tetrahymena introns. The turnover number at saturating guanosine concentration (^^^ீ^௧) is 0.55 ± 0.02 min−1, which is typical of group I introns. The overall catalytic efficiency of the intron (kcat / ^^ெீ) is (6.8 ± 0.4) × 104M−1min−1, as determined from the initial rate plot (FIG.2D), which is relatively high due to the tighter binding of guanosine to this intron. Overall, the C.au.cytB intron self-splices with reasonable 25 efficiency under conditions that are not far from those found in living organisms, therefore capable of catalyzing its own excision from the precursor transcript in the context of infection without apparent reliance on additional protein cofactors, thereby ensuring efficient expression of cytochrome b, an indispensable part of the electron transport chain complex. 30 Example 3: Identification of group I intron splicing inhibitors Having identified a representative intron within the mitogenome of C. albicans, screening was performed to identify small molecules that inhibit the self-splicing reaction. For enzymological analysis a "splicing system in a test tube" was created, whereby the - 83 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) splicing precursor construct (containing the candidate intron, flanked by a set of short exons, FIGs.4A-4B), is generated by T7 RNA transcription from a synthetic DNA template. The precursor RNA was purified by electrophoresis and incubated under diverse buffer conditions to stimulate splicing, enabling establishment of optimal reaction conditions and obtain kinetic 5 parameters for the splicing reaction. To carry out chemical screening, a molecular beacon was designed to match the exon sequences of the C. albicans intron (FIG.7) enabling sensitive monitoring of splicing reactions at high-throughput. Screening of a compound library was then performed and identified specific inhibitors of the C. albicans intron. Results were obtained with the Enamine RNA-focused library (0.2% hit rate and high replicability) 10 (FIGs.5A-5B). Systematic SAR and optimization were carried out by iterative chemical synthesis and IC50testing for splicing inhibition, enabling distinguishment of compound substituents required for intron engagement from regions that can be manipulated to enhance potency and facilitate derivatization (FIG.6). Systematic SAR and optimization were carried out by 15 iterative chemical synthesis and IC50 testing for splicing inhibition, enabling compound substituents required for intron engagement to be distinguished and regions that can be manipulated to enhance potency and facilitate derivatization to be identified (FIG.6). Significantly, the hit and its derivatives are all competitive inhibitors of the guanosine cofactor, thereby establishing a clear mode of action and binding site. This was confirmed by 20 subsequent cryo-EM studies of the C. albicans intron in complex with guanosine, and with potent inhibitor compound 86 (FIG.6 and FIG.8A, FIG.9A, and FIG.9H), establishing that the cofactor and inhibitors bind to the same position within the intron. Given the unusually high enzymatic activity of the C. albicans mtLSU intron, the paucity of structural information on intron-bound inhibitors, and potential value of structure- 25 based design for new compounds, the structure of the intron in complex with guanosine was solved, as well as with a potent inhibitor (compound 86). Map quality is unusually high due to a uniform distribution of particles and the high quality of the data (FIGs.11A-11D). The structure (global resolution of 2.5 Å and local active-site resolution of 2.4 Å) reveals a well- ordered active-site with specific interactions between the known “guanosine binding site” of 30 group I introns and privileged moieties on the heterocyclic ring. The primary amine forms a network of interactions with proximal phosphate groups, helping to enclose the active-site. The active site contains many additional functional groups with the potential to interact with substituents on designed ligands, interacting via stacking hydrophobic interactions and the formation of electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding contacts. The effect of compound 86 on C. - 84 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) albicans growth was tested, but as expected for its low calculated log P value (< 0), antifungal activity was not observed without coadministration of drugs that disrupt the fungal cell wall (such as amphotericin B). 5 Example 4: Optimization of group I intron splicing inhibitors SAR Studies Based upon analysis of the active site and the compound 86 interaction network (FIGs.8-10), an expanded set of analogs for enhancing affinity can be synthesized using existing structure activity relationships (FIG.11A). Without being bound by theory, three10 areas are apparent for additional ligand-RNA interactions in the structure, namely the above- plane active-site residues (A-152, U-315), the binding cavity Mg2+,and the U-257 residue. The interactions gained by newly designed substituents are expected to improve binding affinity while reducing log P and potentially enhancing cell uptake. 15 Computational Studies Complementing the classical medicinal chemistry approach, for compounds within a structurally validated hit series (e.g., compound 86), a template-based docking approach can be used to help guide the design of analogs and prioritize them for synthesis and testing. To assess the similarity between docked poses of candidate ligands and the cryo-EM ligand, the 20 measure maximum common substructure (MCS) root mean square distance (RMSD) can be used as a quantitative measure. MCS-RMSDs can be measured for all poses with docking scores within 3 kcal mol-1of the most favorable pose for each candidate. Compounds can be prioritized for synthesis and inhibition assays if they have favorable docking scores and MCS-RMSD ≤ 2 Å. For each compound the top 2-3 most highly populated protonation states 25 at pH 7.4, as predicted by Marvin tools (ChemAxon MarvinSketch version 23.8) can be docked. The docksolv scoring function in rDock can be used. Although the correlation of docking scores and IC50values is generally low, data have revealed meaningful trends that can likely be enhanced by considering additional properties of the ligands and the binding site. For example, using simple binary classification a positive predictive value (PPV = 30 TP / (TP+FP)) of 84% for a set of 21 ligands with IC50 measurements was achieved (FIGs. 12A-12B, green dotted line indicates score that best distinguishes between strong (<1 µM) and weak binders). To improve predictive power, a regression model can be trained to predict IC50values from docking scores and physicochemical descriptors. The model can undergo iterative refinement as new IC50 measurements are obtained. - 85 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) Biochemical Testing To assess relative potency, IC50 values for compounds are obtained using two orthogonal assays: The rapid molecular beacon assay (FIG.7), and a radioanalytic splicing 5 assay in which the intron precursor is observed as it transforms into products (FIGs.13A- 13B). The two assays produce quantitative results. However, the latter assay is important because, despite its lower throughput, it is not confounded by optical artifacts that can accompany assays based on fluorescence. As such, the radioanalytic assay is conducted on all promising compound candidates, ensuring rigor. 10 Antifungal testing The in vitro testing on diverse strains and species, thereby providing parallel chemical / antifungal SAR for all promising compounds. Testing of Candida species is important since it is the most common cause of disseminated fungal infections in 15 immunocompromised patients. Additionally, drug resistant clinical isolates of C. albicans, the multidrug resistant clades of C. auris, and other non-albicans Candida species such as C. glabrata and C. parapsilosis that have also gained notoriety in causing catheter-related systemic infections. Other fungal strains encompass filamentous fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus that cause lethal fungal pneumonia. In fact, A. fumigatus has an almost identical 20 intron to that of C. albicans (a IA1 class intron) thereby making it an ideal candidate for testing the broad-spectrum activity of the inhibitors. The activity of the compounds against cryptic aspergilli known to have drug resistance to current antifungal agents (e.g. A. calidoustus, and A. lentulus). Other molds include Mucorales fungi (cause of invasive mucormycosis), Fusarium spp., Scedosporium spp and Lamentospora. Compounds that reach 25 an MIC threshold of < 5 µM and which lack mammalian toxicity can be prioritized and those with a high therapeutic index of 10 can be evaluated further, in vivo. In-vitro toxicity screening Drug candidates are evaluated using a well-established viability assay in which 96- 30 well plates of HEK293 cells are allowed to grow (24 hours), before receiving a dose of compound (varying from 0.25 µg / ml to 128 µg / ml, with a final [DMSO] less than 1%). After additional growth (24-72 hours), they are treated with the Cell-Titer Glo cell viability assay (Promega G7571). Compounds with IC50> 64 µg / ml are considered nontoxic in this assay. Toxicity can be measured toxicity against primary human vascular endothelial cells by using - 86 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) the51Cr-release assay that is the gold standard in toxicity testing, ensuring rigorous orthogonal analysis. Optimization of fungal cell uptake and mitochondrial delivery 5 In parallel with optimization of the chemical interaction network, properties essential for bioavailability and selective delivery into the fungal cell can be optimized. Derivatives that enhance LogP, LogS and reduce TPSA are a main goal of antifungal drug design; these properties are correlated with cell permeability, bioavailability, and the overall drug-likeness. These properties can be optimized during design using RDKit, Swiss-ADME, and similar 10 tools to calculate molecular properties of candidate compounds. Although property space guidelines such as Lipinski’s rule of 5 and others have limitations, a general aim for compounds with computed properties of a molecular weight < 500, a cLogP ≤ 5, a Log D ≤ 2, aqueous solubility ≥ 10 ^M, number of hydrogen bond donors ≤ 2, number of hydrogen bond acceptors ≤ 6, and topological polar surface area ≤ 90 Å, while being mindful of the 15 parameters known to maintain strong RNA binding. One design strategy is to append transporter epitopes to the variable positions on compound 86 (FIG.11A) with various cleavable linkers. Epitopes include cell penetrating peptides, spermidine, and siderophore mimetics (FIG.11B). Prodrug linkers center on the established modalities of disulfide reduction and esterase induced cleavage (FIG.11C), both known in fungal systems. 20 Another design strategy is to synthesize prodrugs to facilitate passive diffusion and mitochondrial accumulation. Simple nonpolar groups enable passive transmembrane diffusion (FIG.11D). Triphenyl phosphonium compounds can penetrate cells via a passive mechanism, and their tendency to hyperaccumulate in mitochondria is documented. Prodrugs can move directly to in vitro antifungal testing as the bioactive form is only achieved once the 25 compound enters the cell. Animal infection studies Compounds that meet the affinity, toxicity, and potency thresholds can be tested for activity against a broad panel of fungal organisms, such as strains of Candida, molds, 30 dimorphic fungi, with an emphasis on drug-resistant strains. Compounds that display pan-fungal efficacy have a distinct advantage for drug development, however compounds with fungicidal effects on individual fungal classes (such as Candida) or fungistatic effects on pathogens of exceptionally high clinical value due to - 87 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) failure of conventional treatment (such as the rare molds, Aspergillus fumigatus, etc) also provide a distinct value in treating infections. A reasonable target is to design nontoxic compounds with significantly reduced IC50 < 10 nM and a MIC < 1 µg / ml for one or more fungal strains. Lead molecules can be used as adjunct therapies along with existing clinically 5 approved antifungal drugs, the efficacy of the lead compounds in combination with clinically used antifungal drugs such as azoles (fluconazole), echinocandins (micafungin) or polyenes (liposomal amphotericin B), can also be analyzed via a checkerboard assay. Drug combinations with enhanced antifungal synergy can be evaluated for in vivo efficacy. Tolerability and therapeutic index are then assessed, potentially leading to additional stages 10 of synthetic optimization to enhance properties such as pharmacokinetics. The most efficacious lead is advanced for more elaborate in vivo testing with optimized dosing (via PK studies) with or without one or more antibiotics. Mouse models of C. albicans and C. auris infection can be used for compounds which demonstrate in vitro activity. To optimize treatment, pharmacokinetics (PK) is first conducted on the chosen molecules for in vivo 15 testing. Mice can be administered with three different concentrations of drug candidates (guided by the MIC results) by i.p. injection (mimicking the route of administration in humans). At 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 24 h post injection, blood is collected from three mice each by cardiac puncture. The drug titers in serum can be determined by using HPLC. Key parameters such as the time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), maximum plasma 20 concentration (Cmax), Cmax / Dose, area under plasma concentration-time curve from zero to infinity (AUC0-∞), AUC0-∞ / Dose, apparent volume of distribution after extravascular administration at (Vz / F), apparent plasma clearance of drug after extravascular administration (CL / F), and half-life (t1 / 2) can be calculated from this data. Lead drugs are administered via i.p. route 24 h post infection with the organism under 25 investigation and repeated at time points determined from the PK studies. For studies with antibiotics, infected mice are treated with the drug candidates and antibiotics (fluconazole or first-line echinocandin for C. auris), 48 h post infection to allow for determination of potential synergy between the lead drugs and antibiotics. Time to moribundity serves as a primary endpoint. As secondary end points, the treatment efficacy on reducing CFU in 30 kidneys and spleen is determined, as well as histopathological examination using Grocott methenamine silver (GMS) and periodic acid Schiff (PAS). The PK results can guide dosing and time of treatment. Optimization efforts aim for half-lives of ~24 hours and high Cmaxvalues for drug candidates. One strategy for combination treatment is to use echinocandins in combination with compounds of the - 88 - 55862232.4 Attorney Docket No.047162-7508WO1(02676) disclosure. Without being bound by theory, disruption of fungal cellular membranes by echinocandins may aid in absorption of compounds of the disclosure. Several other antifungal combinations may also exhibit synergistic effects in vivo. 5 Example 5: Exemplary intron splicing inhibitory data for certain compounds of the disclosure Certain compounds of the disclosure were found to have good efficacy for inhibiting the self-splicing process in vitro and in cellular C. albicans growth. The disclosure provides exemplary data for certain compounds of the disclosure, including Ki measurements (Table 10 3), kobsvalues (Table 4), intron splicing half-maximal inhibition (IC50) data (Table 5), and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) data (Table 6).
