Abstract
Description
SEROTONIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS AND USES THEREOF CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] The present Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No.63 / 690,150 filed September 3, 2024, and which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. BACKGROUND
[0002] Rapid and effective treatments for stress-related disorders, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, remain a significant unmet medical need. Studies in humans and animals have shown that depression and stress exposure induce structural and functional changes in the brain. Signs of neuronal atrophy have been found in brain regions involved in stress-related behaviors, including prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. In animals, these structural changes have been shown to include loss of neurites, dendritic spines and synaptic contacts, as well as reduced hippocampal neurogenesis. Studies in humans and animals also have shown that depression and stress exposure decrease cerebral cortex and hippocampal levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes neuronal survival and synaptic plasticity. Together, these findings are consisent with the hypothesis that reduced BDNF may play a role in stress-related neuronal structural changes. In support of this hypothesis, chronic but not acute administration of typical antidepressant drugs, such as selective serotonin (5-HT) reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), attenuate the effects of stress on neurogenesis, neuronal structure and BDNF levels in animals and demonstrate antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in humans. In addition, single administration of ketamine attenuates these effects of stress in animals and demonstrates rapid-acting antidepressant effects in humans. Thus, compounds that promote the generation and / or maintenance of neurites, spines, synapses and / or neurons upon single administration may have rapid therapeutic benefit in the treatment of stress-related disorders.
[0003] Tryptamines are a structural class of compounds containing an indolealkylamine backbone with reported psychedelic and non-psychedelic effects. Psychedelic tryptamines include compounds such as psilocybin, its active metabolite psilocin, and N,N- dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Psilocybin and psilocin are found in hundreds of species of hallucinogenic mushrooms and were used in Aztec rituals. DMT is present in ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic brew traditionally used in ceremonial settings in South America. Psilocybin and ayahuasca have been reported to induce rapid and lasting clinical antidepressant efficacyfollowing single administration. Data in rodents and nonhuman primates also suggest the potential for antidepressant-like effects of psilocybin, DMT or ayahuasca. These compounds exert functional activity at a variety of central nervous system receptors, including serotonin receptors, of which partial agonism at 5-HT2A receptors is believed to mediate the psychedelic effects. Psychedelic tryptamines have been reported to exhibit neuronal plasticity-promoting effects, including neuritogenesis, spinogenesis, synaptogenesis, hippocampal cell proliferation and / or hippocampal neurogenesis, which may underlie their therapeutic benefit in the treatment of stress-related disorders, such as depression. Specifically, psilocin and DMT were reported to significantly increase measures of neurite outgrowth in primary embryonic rat cortical neurons. There is published data on the effects of the reference 5-HT2A agonist, DOI, and antagonist, M100907, in NGF-induced neurite outgrowth in rat adrenal medulla pheochromocytoma-derived PC12 cells.
[0004] There is a need for novel pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of stress- related disorders. Given the reported 5-HT2A receptor agonist activity and ability to promote neurite outgrowth associated with classical psychedelic compounds, novel compounds may provide an improved therapeutic index for treating stress related disorders with reduced side effect profiles.

[0017] Definitions
[0018] For convenience, certain terms employed in the specification, examples and claims are collected here. Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used in this disclosure have the same meanings as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
[0019] Compounds described herein can comprise one or more asymmetric centers, and thus can exist in various isomeric forms, e.g., enantiomers and / or diastereomers. For example, the compounds described herein can be in the form of an individual enantiomer, diastereomer or geometric isomer, or can be in the form of a mixture of stereoisomers, including racemic mixtures and mixtures enriched in one or more stereoisomer. Isomers can be isolated from mixtures by methods known to those skilled in the art, including chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the formation and crystallization of chiral salts; or preferred isomers can be prepared by asymmetric syntheses. See, for example, Jacques et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw-Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions p.268 (E.F. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN 1972).
[0020] The term "about" when immediately preceding a numerical value means a range (e.g., plus or minus 10% of that value). For example, "about 50" can mean 45 to 55, "about 25,000" can mean 22,500 to 27,500, etc., unless the context of the disclosure indicates otherwise, or is inconsistent with such an interpretation. For example, in a list of numerical values such as "about 49, about 50, about 55, ... ", "about 50" means a range extending to less than half the interval(s) between the preceding and subsequent values, e.g., more than 49.5 to less than 50.5. Furthermore, the phrases "less than about" a value or "greater than about" a value should beunderstood in view of the definition of the term "about" provided herein.

[0539] Compound activity was assessed by measuring changes in BRET signal relative to vehicle control (0.1% DMSO). For fixed-endpoint experiments, cells were incubated with the test compound for 15 minutes, after which a single BRET signal measurement was recorded. Concentration–response curves were generated using GraphPad Prism 10, comparing compound activity to that of 5-HT.
