Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 F-ATP HYDROLASE INHIBITORS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to United States Provisional Application No. 63 / 675,224, filed July 24, 2024, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND
[0002] Mitochondria are essential organelles to all eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria generate ATP and meet most of the cell’s energy requirements via an oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) pathway. This is carried out by five protein complexes (complexes I-V).
[0003] F1F0-ATPase (also known as F-ATPase, complex V, F1F0-ATP synthase, and F1F0-ATP hydrolase) is a multi-component, membrane-associated protein complex that catalyzes the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP in the mitochondria. ATP synthases are present in all living organisms, and are located in the membranes of mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplast thylakoids as well as on the surfaces of various cell types (e.g., endothelial cells, keratinocytes and adipocytes). F1F0-ATPase is a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and utilizes a proton motive force generated by complexes I-IV to produce ATP (synthase function). Under conditions where the mitochondrial membrane potential is disrupted, such as by lack of oxygen or inhibition of Complex I, the F-ATPase attempts to restore the membrane potential by pumping protons back across the membrane at the expense of ATP (hydrolase function). This ATP wasting event is detrimental to cellular viability and is particularly harmful to neurons in deep brain regions most impacted in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. SUMMARY
[0004] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides the recognition that F1F0- ATP synthase is reversible, where complex V operates in the reverse direction to hydrolyze ATP to ADP with the help of F-ATP hydrolase, which can result in mitochondrial dysfunction. Because mitochondrial function is essential to human health, there remains a need to understand and treat diseases associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. For example, the broad role of mitochondria in health and disease is supported by the mitochondrial dysfunction association with a number of disorders. Such disorders include idiopathic neurodegenerative disorders, mitochondrial diseases (e.g., neuropathies, epilepsies, and cardiomyopathies), neurodegenerative 12886058v1 Page 1 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 disorders, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and obesity. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides compounds, compositions, and methods for treating a disease associated with mitochondrial dysfunction such as, for example, idiopathic neurodegenerative disorders, mitochondrial diseases (e.g., neuropathies, epilepsies, and cardiomyopathies), neurodegenerative disorders, metabolic syndrome, cancer, and obesity. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, a growing body of evidence suggests that mitochondrial abnormalities increase with age and in age-related diseases. Examples of such age-related diseases include Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA), cancer, diabetes, stroke, and cardiac ischemia.

[0193] p y p p g p n General Scheme A. In this scheme, diamine i is condensed with keto ester ii at elevated temperature, for example 135 ºC, in a suitable solvent, such as toluene (Method A). The resulting product iii is then subjected to reductive hydrolytic conditions with a suitable acid, for example TFA, reducing agent, such as triethylsilane in an appropriate solvent, such as DCE at room temperature (Method B) to afford compounds of formula iv. Cyclization of iv to lactam v is then carried out using suitable hydrolysis conditions, for example NaOMe in methanol at room temperature (Method C). Reduction to diazepane vi is accomplished using a suitable reducing agent, for example LAH in an appropriate solvent, such as THF at room temperature. Alternatively, reduction can also be run using BH3.Me2S in a suitable solvent, such as toluene at elevated temperature, for example 100 ºC (Method D). Diazepane vi can then be converted to vii by standard acylation chemistry by treatment with for example appropriately substituted acyl chloride, acyl anhydride, sulfonyl chloride or sulfonyl anhydride at room temperature in a suitable solvent such as DCM (Method E). Intermediate vii is then converted to compounds of formula I by for example reductive amination by combining with imidazole carboxaldehyde in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid, solvent such as DCM and a reducing agent such as NaBH(OAc)3 at room temperature. 12886058v1 Page 42 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022

[0195] An alternative exemplary method of preparing compounds of formula I is shown in General Scheme B. In this scheme, ortho-fluorobenzonitrile i undergoes SNAr substitution with amino ester ii at elevated temperature, for example 120 ºC, in a suitable solvent such as DMSO and base like DIEA (Method A). The resulting product iii is then subjected to reductive hydrogenation conditions with a suitable catalyst, for example Ni, base such as TEA, an appropriate solvent such as MeOH and under H2 at sufficient pressure (i.e., 15 PSI) at room temperature (Method B) to afford compounds of formula iv. Cyclization of iv to lactam v is then carried out using suitable conditions, for example NaOMe in methanol at room temperature (Method C). Reduction to diazepane vi is accomplished using a suitable reducing agent, for example LAH in an appropriate solvent such as THF at room temperature. Alternatively, reduction can also be run using BH3.Me2S in a suitable solvent, such as toluene at elevated 12886058v1 Page 43 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 temperature, for example 100 ºC (Method D). Racemic vi can then be separated into individual enantiomers using methods common to the art such as by chiral chromatography (e.g., HPLC or SFC) or chral resolution with acid addition salt such as L-tartaric acid to provide the pure enantiomers S-vii or R-vii (Method E). The synthesis can also be initiated with an enantiomerically pure or enriched amino ester ii to generate the desired enantiomer S-vii or R-vii without the need for a chiral resolution. Diazepanes S-vii or R-vii can then be converted to S-viii or R-viii by standard acylation chemistry by treatment with for example appropriately substituted acyl chloride, acyl anhydride, sulfonyl chloride or sulfonyl anhydride at room temperature in a suitable solvent such as DCM (Method F). Intermediate S-viii or R-viii is then converted to compounds of formula I by for example reductive amination by combining with imidazole carboxaldehyde in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid, solvent such as DCM and a reducing agent such as NaBH(OAc)3 at room temperature (Method G).

The resulting aziridine product iii undergoes ring opening when treated with an appropriately substituted alcohol in the presence of a Lewis acid such as BF3.Et2O in a solvent such as CHCl3 and at room temperature (Method B). The product v can then be converted to compounds of formula I as described in General Schemes A and B. 12886058v1 Page 44 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022

Thus, starting with advanced intermediate i and reacting with halo analogs ii in the presence of a base such as K2CO3, source of iodide (NaI) and in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF at elevated temperatures such as 60 °C provides analog iii as a mixture of diastereomers (Method A). These can be separated using chiral chromatography such as SFC to generate the individual isomers of compounds of formula I (Method B).
[0200] General Scheme E: OxR3 RxR3 R4(R4)mH2
[0201] An alternative exemplary method of preparing compounds of formula I is shown in General Scheme E. Late stage intermediate i undergoes reductive amination by combining with imidazolopyrimidin-3-yl carboxaldehyde ii in the presence of an acid such as acetic acid, solvent such as DCM and a reducing agent such as NaBH(OAc)3 at room temperature to give iii 12886058v1 Page 45 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 (Method A). Treatment of iii with hydrazine in a solvent such as EtOH and stirring at elevated temperature such as 80 °C gives 2-aminoimidazole analogs iv (Method B).
[0202] General Scheme F: x R3 R x xR3R R3 RN X4N R4N R
[0203] An alternative exemplary method of preparing compounds of formula I is shown in General Scheme F. Compounds wherein X or Rxis halogen in i and can undergo cross- coupling reactions to introduce a variety of substitutions in the benzo ring to form intermediate ii. For example, Suzuki reactions enable late-stage introduction of aryl, vinyl or cyclopropyl groups, Buchwald reactions allow for the introduction of substituted amines. Reaction with Zn(CN)2, Brettphos and Pd enables introduction of cyano functionality. In turn, these newly introduced functional groups in ii can be further modified to different functional groups in iii. For example, introduction of a vinyl group, followed by oxidative hydrolysis using, for example OsO4 gives an aldehyde which in turn when treated with DAST gives R4as CHF2 (Method B). Intermediates iii are readily converted to compounds of formula I as previously described in Methods A and B.
[0204] General Scheme G: OMeR R3R4R3OHR4R3 O(R4)m
[0205] An alternative exemplary method of preparing compounds of formula I is shown in General Scheme G. Methoxy intermediate i can be hydrolyzed to phenol ii with for example HBr in AcOH at elevated temperatures such as 120 C (Method A). Alkylation reaction of ii with substituted alkylhalides, for example methoxyethyl bromide in the presence of a base such as 12886058v1 Page 46 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 K2CO3and a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF gives intermediates iii (method B). Reductive amination with imidazole carboxaldehyde and intermediates ii or iii gives rise to compounds of formula I as described in methods A and B.

[0207] In some embodiments, provided compounds are provided and / or utilized in a salt form (e.g., a pharmaceutically acceptable salt form). Reference to a compound provided herein is understood to include reference to salts thereof, unless otherwise indicated. Uses, Formulation, and Administration 12886058v1 Page 237 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022
[0208] F1F0-ATPase is a component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) and utilizes a proton motive force generated by Complexes I-IV to produce ATP (synthase function). Under conditions where the mitochondrial membrane potential is disrupted, such as by lack of oxygen or inhibition of Complex I, the F-ATPase attempts to restore the membrane potential by pumping protons back across the membrane at the expense of ATP (hydrolase function in which the F1F0-ATPase catalyzes the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and inorganic phosphate ions). This ATP wasting event is detrimental to cellular viability and is particularly harmful to neurons in deep brain regions most impacted in a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike other ATPases which function to hydrolyze ATP and release energy, mitochondrial F1F0-ATPase has both hydrolytic and synthetic states. Accordingly, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of inhibiting F-ATP hydrolase, the method comprising treating a biological sample with a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
[0209] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a method of treating a disease or condition associated with F-ATP hydrolase. In some such embodiments, a disease or condition associated with F-ATP hydrolase is selected from Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA), cancer, diabetes, stroke, and cardiac ischemia.
[0210] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in medicine.
[0211] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in inhibiting F-ATP hydrolase in a biological sample. In some embodiments, the use is in vitro.
[0212] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for use in treating a disease or condition associated with F-ATP hydrolase.
[0213] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for treating a disease or condition associated with F-ATP hydrolase. 12886058v1 Page 238 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 Diseases
[0214] Human therapeutic applications of inhibitors of ATP hydrolysis have been summarized in reviews by Ebanks, B. et al,. Aging, 2020, 12(16):16647-16662, Li, J-L. et al., Front. Mol. Neurosci., 2021, 14:797833, Vandoorne, T. et al., Acta Neuropathol., 2018, 135:489- 509, Lodi, R. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1999, 96:11492-11495, Seyfried, T. N. et al., iScience, 2020, 23:101761, Haythorne, E. et al., Nat. Commun, 2019, 10:2474, Tian, H. et al., J. Cel.l Mol. Med., 2022, 26(4):1000-1012, and Zhou, M. et al., Cardiology, 2021, 146(6):781-792. Inhibition of F-ATP hydrolase can be useful in the treatment of diseases and disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s Disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA), cancer, diabetes, stroke, and cardiac ischemia.
[0215] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is an irreversible neurodegenerative disease that is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and is responsible for more than half of the 44 million cases of dementia globally. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, AD may be associated with dysfunction of mitochondrial ATP synthase, which is under-expressed in the hippocampal tissue of AD patients.
[0216] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is Parkinson’s disease (PD). PD is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, affecting 6.1 million patients in 2016. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, genetic models of PD have shown deficits in complex V, and link reduction in ATP production to the development of PD.
[0217] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). ALS is and irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects motor neurons. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, motor neurons are vulnerable to ATP depletion, therefore disturbances in energy metabolism (e.g., ATP metabolism) may be linked to ALS.
[0218] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA). FRDA is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and is the most common form of inherited ataxia, presenting in 1 in 50,000 births. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, patients 12886058v1 Page 239 of 494Attorney Docket No.2019292-0022 with FRDA present with a deficit of mitochondrial ATP production, linking decreased amounts on ATP to development of the disease.
[0219] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is cancer. Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide and abnormalities in mitochondrial function have been documented in all major cancers. ATP is required for mammalian cells to function properly. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, insufficiency of ATP (e.g., through disruption of ATP synthesis in Complex V) contributes to apoptotic resistance in cells (i.e., cancer).
[0220] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is diabetes. Diabetes is a global health problem associated with inhibition of mitochondrial metabolism in pancreatic β-cells. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, downregulation of ATP synthesis resulting from oxidative phosphorylation and associated reduction of mitochondrial metabolism is linked to the failure of β-cells and the development of diabetes.
[0221] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is stroke. Stroke is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and causes greater than 40 million physical disabilities and 5 million deaths around the world per year. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, mitochondrial ATP synthesis is disrupted during stroke, resulting in downregulation of neurological promotion and cell survival. Accordingly, preserving mitochondrial function (e.g., synthesis of ATP) during and after stroke can be a promising therapeutic strategy to stroke.
[0222] In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is cardiac ischemia. Cardiovascular disease (e.g., cardiac ischemia) is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and is the leading cause of death worldwide. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, this mitochondrial dysfunction and the resultant oxidative stress are the key mechanisms for the development of cardiac ischemia. In general, diseases associated with ischemic events are associated with a lack of oxygen, which leads to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and ultimately causes F1F0- ATPase to switch to hydrolase mode.
[0223] In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides a composition comprising a compound of formula I, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, adjuvant, or vehicle.
