PCT / US25 / 44749 03 September 2025 (03.09.2025)Atorney Docket No.: ATAI-115 / 01WO 338067-2699AMINOTETRALIN ACTIVATORS OF SEROTONIN RECEPTORSCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELEATED APPLCATION
[0001] The present Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 690,260 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 consistent 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 efficacyPCT / US25 / 44749 03 September 2025 (03.09.2025)Atorney Docket No.: ATAI-115 / 01WO 338067-2699 following 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.SUMMARY

This disclosure will govern in the instance that there is any inconsistency between the patents, patent applications and publications cited and this disclosure.Definitions
[0095] 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.
[0096] Certain compounds described herein 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 synthesis. 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).
[0097] 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 be understood in view of the definition of the term "about" provided herein. Similarly, the term "about" when preceding a series of numerical values or a range of values (e.g., "about 10, 20, 30" or "about 10-30") refers, respectively to all values in the series, or the endpoints of the range.

[0404] The present disclosure is further illustrated by reference to the following Examples. However, it should be noted that these Examples, like the embodiments described above, are illustrative and are not to be construed as restricting the scope of the disclosure in any way.
[0405] LSD and other ergolines also act upon DI and D2 dopamine receptors and adrenergic receptors (Nichols, 2004). In particular, activation of 5- HT2A receptors located in cortical and subcortical structures of the brain are thought to mediate the subjective, behavioral and psychological effects of psychedelics in both animals and humans (Halberstadt et al, 2015; Preller, 2017; Preller, 2018, Kraehenmann, 2017a; Kraehenmann, 2017b; Vollenweider et al, 1998). In rodents, psychedelics have shown to elicit a ‘head twitch response’ which has been demonstrated to be a direct and selective consequence of 5-HT2A activation over other similar serotonin receptors including both 5-HT2C and 5-HT2B (Halberstatdt, 2015; Winter et al., 2007; Benneyworth et al., 2015; Titeler et al, 1988). Similar observations have been made in humans where the administration of ketanserin, a 5-HT2A receptor antagonist, blocked the majority of subjective effects induced by DMT, psilocyin and LSD (Preller, 2017; Preller, 2018; Kraehenmann, 2017a; Kraehenmann, 2017b; Vollenweider, 1988; Preller, 2016; Valle, 2016). In addition, psychedelic effects elicited by psilocybin have correlated with 5-HT2APCT / US25 / 44749 03 September 2025 (03.09.2025)Atorney Docket No.: ATAI-115 / 01WO 338067-2699 receptor occupancy as measured by positron emission tomography in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and other cortical regions in humans (Madsen, 2019). While 5-HT2A is the predominant driver of psychedelic effects in humans, other serotonin receptors, like 5-HT1A, are likely contributing to the overall psychedelic experience including both visual and attentiondisrupting effects in humans (Pokorny et al., 2016; Carter et al., 2005).
[0406] Known psychedelics consist of three main molecular classes. The first class are indoleamines, including N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), 5-methoxy-DMT (5-MeO-DMT), psilocybin and 4-hydroxy- DMT. The second class are phenylalkylamines, which include mescaline, as well as synthetic mescaline analogs including 2,5-dimethoxy-4- iodoamphetamine (DOI) and 2, 5 -dimethoxy -4-bromoamphetamine (DOB). The third class of are ergolines, such as LSD (Nichols, 2004; Vollenweider et al, 2020). The phenylalkylamines are selective agonists of 5- HT2 receptors, including 5- HT2A, 5- HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors (Halberstadt, 2015). The indoleamines and ergolines act as partial agonists of 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 receptors (Nichols, 2004).
[0407] Biased signaling consequences of 5-HT2A activation by various agonists strongly impact whether or not a compound will be hallucinogenic or non-hallucinogenic. For example, LSD and lisuride both activate the 5-HT2A receptor but in slightly different ways which result in the activation of different intracellular signaling cascades. LSD and lisuride have been shown to active canonical Gq-based signaling downstream of 5-HT2A, but only LSD stimulated the expression of early growth response proteins (EGR1 and EGR2) by activating Gi / o subunits and the SRC protein kinase (Gonzalez-Maeso et al, 2007). Differential functional selectivity has been shown for several phenalkylamine pyschedelics which were found to be biased 5-HT2A agonists (Pottie et al, 2020). The compounds, including 25H-NBF, 25H- NBMD, 25H-NBOH and 25H-NBOMe showed a statistically significant preference towards the recruitment of P-arrestin 2 over miniGaq, as compared to the reference psychedelic substance LSD. Differential biased agonism elicited across multiple classes of psychedelics warrants further investigation to identify whether this functional selectivity may provide compounds with greater selectivity, fewer side effects, greater neuroplastic effects and improved therapeutic benefit
[0408] Initial work studying aminotetralins as lysergic acid congeners demonstrated that while 2-amino-5,8-dimethoxy-6-methyl-l,2,3,4-terahydronaphthalene has activity at 5-HT receptors, the compound failed to elicit common psychedelic side effects in rats in comparison to mescaline or 2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenylisopropylamine at similar doses (Nichols et al, 1974). Additional drug discrimination studies in LSD-trained rats and MDMA-trained ratsPCT / US25 / 44749 03 September 2025 (03.09.2025)Atorney Docket No.: ATAI-115 / 01WO 338067-2699 found that stimulus generalization did not occur with any of the 2-aminotetralins studied suggesting that consistent with previous studies the tetralin congeners are most likely not hallucinogenic (Nichols et al, 1990).

[0939] Example 2: Biological Experiments
[0940] Compounds 31, 189, 190, 45, and 126 were assessed for biological activity across a panel of 5-HT receptors including 5-HT2A, 5-HT2B, 5-HT2C and 5-HT1 A. Biased signaling was assessed by monitoring both intracellular Gq-mediated calcium release, as well as betaarrestin activation and recruitment to the GPCR. Tables A and B summarize the findings across these compounds and the 5-HT receptors tested
[0941] Table A. EC50 values measured for Compounds 31 and 189 across a panel of 5-HT receptors.PCT / US25 / 44749 03 September 2025 (03.09.2025)Atorney Docket No.: ATAI-115 / 01WO 338067-2699
[0942] The 2-aminotetralins studied displayed greater potency for the 5-HT2C receptor compared to the other 5-HT receptors studied (Table A). The 2-aminotetralins studied afforded sub -micromol ar potencies for 5HT1A. In comparison to psilocin (ECso=2,O53nM), 2- aminotetralins were ~5-fold more potent for 5-HT1A. Given the importance of the 5-HT1A contribution to the psychedelic experience (Pokorny et al., 2016; Carter et al., 2005), 5-HT1 A activation afforded by 2-aminotetralins may be therapeutically advantageous.
[0943] While the 2-aminotetralins studied were potent activators of 5-HT2A Gq-mediated signaling, these compounds were found to be less potent activators of beta-arrestin recruitment at 5-HT2A (FIG. 2). Compound 189 was observed to maintain a 14-fold signaling bias compared to ~ 10-fold for Compound 31. Such a signaling bias may be important to uncoupling the psychedelic experiences of disassociation and hallucination from the therapeutic benefit.
[0944] The ECso profiles of the compounds demonstrated that all were agonists of 5-HT2A mediated signaling. However, Compound 31 displayed higher efficacy full agonism of 5- HT2A Gq-mediated signaling (97% max activation) compared to Compound 189 (82% max activation) (FIG. 1) when compared to the maximum reference agonist response (100%). Both compounds showed increased potency and efficacy at 5-HT2A relative to 5-HT2B receptor Gq-mediated signaling (FIG. 1). Compound 31 exhibited higher efficacy partial agonism of 5- HT2A P-arrestin signaling compared to Compound 189 with maximum effect levels of 66% and 35%, respectively.

[0948] Compound 189 displayed similar agonist potency and efficacy at 5-HT2A and 5-HT2B receptors, while Compound 190 showed increased potency and efficacy at 5-HT2A relative to 5-HT2B receptors (Table B, FIG. 3 A & B).
[0949] Compounds 189 and 190 exhibited increased agonist selectivity for 5-HT2A over 5- HT2B receptors relative to the profile of the reference agonist a-Me-5-HT for which selectivity = 1 (Table B, FIG. 3C).
[0950] Additional human 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B and mGluR2 / 3 receptor assay data for Compound 189 and Compound 190 are shown in Table B.

[0957] The HTR responses were measured for psilocin (FIG. 5B), Compound 189 (FIG. 5C), and Compound 190 (FIG. 5D). Compoud pretreatment (60 min) reduced HTR induced by a known hallucinogen, DOI, in a dose-dependent manner (FIG. 5E, F). These data are indicative of 5-HT2A receptor interactions in vivo.
