Patent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCTTETRACYCLIC DERIVATIVES, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS THEREOFPriority Claims and Related Applications
[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 63 / 701,035, filed September 30, 2024; 63 / 728,809, filed December 6, 2024; and 63 / 775,617, filed March 21, 2025, the entire content of each of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.Technical Fields of the Invention
[0002] The invention generally relates to novel compounds and therapeutic uses thereof. More particularly, the invention provides novel tetracyclic compounds and derivatives thereof that are shown to be potent and selective inhibitors of KRas, in particular KRas G12D and G12V. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising compounds of the invention and methods for treating diseases and disorders associated with or related to KRas activities, such as various types of cancer.Background of the Invention
[0003] KRAS (Kirsten rat sarcoma virus) is a gene that provides instructions for making a protein called KRas, a part of the RAS / MAPK pathway. The protein relays signal from outside the cell to the cell's nucleus instructing the cell to grow and divide (proliferate) or to mature and take on specialized functions (differentiate). KRas serves as a molecular switch cycling between inactive (GDP-bound) and active (GTP -bound) states to transduce upstream cellular signals received from multiple tyrosine kinases to downstream effectors to regulate a wide variety of processes, such as cellular proliferation. The role of activated KRas in malignancy was first observed over thirty years ago. (Santos et al. 1984 Science 223:661-664; Alamgeer et al. 2013 Current Opin Pharmcol.13:394-401.)
[0004] KRas mutation occurs in nearly 30% of human cancers. For example, mutations of KRas are observed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas, colon and rectal carcinomas, and nonsmall cell lung carcinomas. RAS mutations are dominated by single-base missense mutations. The replacement of the amino acid glycine at position 12 is by far the most prevalent mutationPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT and are referred to as G12D, G12V, G12C, G12R and others, depending on which amino acid replaces the glycine. G12D is the most prevalent (35%) followed by G12V (29%) and G12C (21%). (Zhu, et al. 2022 Molecular Cancer 21, 159; Punekar, et al. 2022 Nat Rev Clin Oncol. 19(10): 637-655; Huang, et al. 2021 Signal Transd. and Targeted Ther. 6, 386.)
[0005] Despite extensive efforts over the past thirty years to develop inhibitors of KRas to treat cancer, only two G12C inhibitors Sotorasib and Adagrasib and approved. No KRas G12D or G12V inhibitor has been clinically demonstrated with sufficient safety and / or efficacy to warrant regulatory approval. (Oya, et al. 2023 Tr ansi Lung Cancer Res. 12(5): 940-943;McCormick 2015 Clin Cancer Res. 21 (8): 1797-1801 ; Sun et al. 2012 Agnew Chem Int Ed Engl. 51(25):6140-6143; Ostrem et al. 2013 Nature 503:548-551; Fell et al. 2018 ACSMed. Chem. Lett. 9: 1230-1234; Cox, et al. 2014 Nature Rev Drug Discov. 13 (11), 828-51; Patricelli et al. 2016 Cancer Discov. 6(3), 316-29; Hunter et al. 2015 Mol Cancer Res. 13(9), 1325-35.)
[0006] There remains an urgent need for potent and selective KRas inhibitors, in particular, inhibitors of KRas mutants, especially G12D and G12V, that are safe and effective in treating diseases and conditions associated with aberrant expression of KRAS, such as various types of cancer ( .g., ductal cancer, colorectal cancer, rectal cancer, cell lung cancer).Summary of the Invention
[0007] The invention provides novel quinazoline and aza-quinazoline derivatives as pan- KRas inhibitors, in particular Kras G12D, Kras G12V, Kras G12C and wild-type amplified inhibitors, which have been shown to exhibit favorable potency and selectivity profiles over known KRas inhibitors. These novel compounds selectively target, bind to, inhibit and / or modulate the activity of KRas. Compounds of the invention are orally available with pharmacokinetic profiles suitable for development into an orally administered therapeutic agent for treating various diseases and disorders associated with or related to KRas activities, such as various types of cancer.

In some embodiments, the amount is that effective for reduction or ameliorationPatent Application Atty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT of a symptom to stop or reversion of progression of a disease or disorder such as cancer. In some embodiments, the amount is that effective for detectable killing or inhibition of the growth or spread of cancer cells; the size or number of tumors; or other measure of the level, stage, progression or severity of the cancer.
[0026] The therapeutically effective amount can vary depending upon the intended application, or the subject and disease condition being treated, e.g., the desired biological endpoint, the pharmacokinetics of the compound, the disease being treated, the mode of administration, and the weight and age of the patient, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. Such amount may be administered as a single dosage or according to a regimen. The term also applies to a dose that will induce a particular response in target cells, e.g., reduction of cell migration. The specific dose will vary depending on, for example, the particular compounds chosen, the species of subject and their age / existing health conditions or risk for health conditions, the dosing regimen to be followed, the severity of the disease, whether it is administered in combination with other agents, timing of administration, the tissue to which it is administered, and the physical delivery system in which it is carried.
[0027] As used herein, the terms “KRas(G12#)” or “KRas G12#” (# being D, V, C, etc.) are used interchangeably and refers to a mutant form of a mammalian KRas protein that contains an amino acid substitution of an aspartic acid for a glycine at amino acid position 12. The assignment of amino acid codon and residue positions for human KRas is based on the amino acid sequence identified by UniProtKB / Swiss-Prot P011 16: Variantp.Glyl2Asp.
[0028] As used herein, an “inhibitor” of “KRas(G12#)” or “KRas G12#” (# being D, V, C, etc.) refers to a compound of the invention capable of negatively modulating or inhibiting all or a portion of the enzymatic activity of KRas G12#. A "Pan-" KRas inhibitor refers to a compound that is active with regard to two or more G12 variants.
[0029] As used herein, a “KRas G12#-associated” (# being D, V, C, etc.) disease or disorder refers to diseases or disorders associated with or mediated by or having a corresponding KRas G12 mutation. Examples of KRas G12#-associated diseases or disorders include various KRas G12#-associated cancer types.
[0030] As used herein, the term “contacting” refers to the bringing together of indicated moielies in vitro or in vivo. For example, “contacting” a KRas G12# (# being D, V, C, etc with a compound disclosed herein includes the administration of the compound to a subject havingPatent ApplicationAty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCTKRas (312#, as well as, for example, introducing the compound into a sample containing a cellular or purified preparation containing the KRas G12#. In some embodiments, a cell in which inhibition of KRas G12# activity is desired is contacted with an effective amount of a compound disclosed herein or pharmaceutically acceptable form thereof to negatively modulate the activity of KRas G12#. By negatively modulating the activity of KRas G12#, the methods disclosed herein are designed to inhibit undesired cellular proliferation resulting from enhanced KRas G 12# activity within the cell. The cells may be contacted in a single dose or multiple doses in accordance with a particular treatment regimen to achieve the desired negative modulation of KRas G12#. The ability of compounds to bind KRas G12# may be monitored in vitro using methods known in the art. The inhibitory activity of exemplary compounds in cells may be monitored, for example, by measuring the inhibition of KRas G12# activity using methods known in the art.
[0031] As used herein, the terms “unsubstituted or substituted” and “optionally substituted” are used interchangeably and refer to where a given chemical moiety (e.g., an alkyl group) can (but is not required to) be bonded to other substituents (e.g., heteroatoms). For instance, an alkyl group that is optionally substituted can be a fully saturated alkyl chain (e.g., a pure hydrocarbon). Alternatively, the same optionally substituted alkyl group can have substituents different from hydrogen. For instance, it can, at any point along the chain be bounded to a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other substituent described herein. Thus, the term “optionally substituted” means that a given chemical moiety has the potential to contain other functional groups, but does not necessarily have any further functional groups. Suitable substituents used in the optional substitution of the described groups include, without limitation, halogen, oxo, CN, - COOH, -CH2CN, -O-CI-C6alkyl, Ci-C6alkyl, -OCi-C6alkenyl, -OCi-C6alkynyl, -Ci-C6alkenyl, -Ci-C6alkynyl, -OH, -OP(O)(OH)2, -OC(O)Ci-C6alkyl, -C(O)Ci-C6alkyl, -OC(O)OCi- C6alkyl, NH2, NH(CI-C6alkyl), N(CI-C6alkyl)2, -NHC(O)CI-C6alkyl, -C(O)NHCI-C6alkyl, - S(O)2-Ci-C6alkyl, -S(O)NHCI-C6alkyl, and S(O)N(CI-C6alkyl)2.
[0032] As used herein, a “pharmaceutically acceptable form” of a disclosed compound includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, hydrates, solvates, isomers, prodrugs, and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed compounds. In one embodiment, a "pharmaceutically acceptable form" includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, isomers, prodrugs and isotopically labeled derivativesPatent Application Atty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT of disclosed compounds. In some embodiments, a "pharmaceutically acceptable form" includes, but is not limited to, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, stereoisomers, prodrugs and isotopically labeled derivatives of disclosed compounds.
[0033] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable form is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of subjects without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66: 1-19. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds provided herein include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include adipate, alginate, ascorbate, aspartate, benzenesulfonate, besylate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, citrate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerophosphate, gluconate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2- naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3 -phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate salts, and the like. In some embodiments, organic acids from which salts can be derived include, for example, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, lactic acid, trifluoracetic acid, maleic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, cinnamic acid, mandelic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, salicylic acid, and the like.
[0034] The salts can be prepared in situ during the isolation and purification of the disclosed compounds, or separately, such as by reacting the free base or free acid of a parent compoundPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT with a suitable base or acid, respectively. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts derived from appropriate bases include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium and N+(Ci-4alkyl)4 salts. Representative alkali or alkaline earth metal salts include sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, aluminum, and the like. Further pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, when appropriate, nontoxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, and amine cations formed using counterions such as halide, hydroxide, carboxylate, sulfate, phosphate, nitrate, lower alkyl sulfonate and aryl sulfonate. Organic bases from which salts can be derived include, for example, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines, including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, basic ion exchange resins, and the like, such as isopropyl amine, trimethylamine, diethylamine, tri ethyl amine, tripropylamine, and ethanolamine. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salt can be chosen from ammonium, potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium salts.
[0035] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable form is a pharmaceutically acceptable ester. As used herein, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable ester" refers to esters that hydrolyze in vivo and include those that break down readily in the human body to leave the parent compound or a salt thereof. Such esters can act as a prodrug as defined herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable esters include, but are not limited to, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aralkyl, and cycloalkyl esters of acidic groups, including, but not limited to, carboxylic acids, phosphoric acids, phosphinic acids, sulfinic acids, sulfonic acids and boronic acids. Examples of esters include formates, acetates, propionates, butyrates, acrylates and ethylsuccinates. The esters can be formed with a hydroxy or carboxylic acid group of the parent compound.
[0036] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable form is a “solvate” (e. ., a hydrate). As used herein, the term “solvate” refers to compounds that further include a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of solvent bound by non-covalent intermolecular forces. The solvate can be of a disclosed compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Where the solvent is water, the solvate is a "hydrate". Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and hydrates are complexes that, for example, can include 1 to about 100, or 1 to about 10, or 1 to about 2, about 3 or about 4, solvent or water molecules. It will be understood that the term "compound" as used herein encompasses the compound and solvates of the compound, as well as mixtures thereof.Patent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT
[0037] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable form is a prodrug. As used herein, the term “prodrug” (or “pro-drug”) refers to compounds that are transformed in vivo to yield a disclosed compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable form of the compound. A prodrug can be inactive when administered to a subject, but is converted in vivo to an active compound, for example, by hydrolysis (e.g., hydrolysis in blood). In certain cases, a prodrug has improved physical and / or delivery properties over the parent compound. Prodrugs can increase the bioavailability of the compound when administered to a subject (e.g., by permitting enhanced absorption into the blood following oral administration) or which enhance delivery to a biological compartment of interest (e.g., the brain or lymphatic system) relative to the parent compound. Exemplary prodrugs include derivatives of a disclosed compound with enhanced aqueous solubility or active transport through the gut membrane, relative to the parent compound.
[0038] The prodrug compound often offers advantages of solubility, tissue compatibility or delayed release in a mammalian organism (see, e.g., Bundgard, H., Design of Prodrugs (1985), pp. 7- 9, 21-24 (Elsevier, Amsterdam). A discussion of prodrugs is provided in Higuchi, T., et al., "Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems," A.C.S. Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987, both of which are incorporated in full by reference herein. Exemplary advantages of a prodrug can include, but are not limited to, its physical properties, such as enhanced water solubility for parenteral administration at physiological pH compared to the parent compound, or it can enhance absorption from the digestive tract, or it can enhance drug stability for long-term storage.
[0039] As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, carrier, or diluent” refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carrying or transporting the subject pharmaceutical agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not injurious to the patient. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers include: sugars, such as lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose, and its derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth;Patent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT malt; gelatin; talc; excipients, such as cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils, such as peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols, such as propylene glycol; polyols, such as glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; esters, such as ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents, such as magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; phosphate buffer solutions; and other non-toxic compatible substances employed in pharmaceutical formulations. Wetting agents, emulsifiers and lubricants, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, and polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide copolymer as well as coloring agents, release agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the compositions.
[0040] As used herein, the term “subject” refers to any animal (c. ., a mammal), including, but not limited to humans, non-human primates, rodents, and the like, which is to be the recipient of a particular treatment. Typically, the terms “subject” and “patient” are used interchangeably herein in reference to a human subject.
[0041] In some embodiments, the subject has experienced and / or exhibited at least one symptom of the disease or disorder to be treated with a compound disclosed herein and / or according to a herein disclosed method. In some embodiments, the subject has been identified or diagnosed as having a cancer having a KRas G12# (# being D, V, C, etc.) mutation. In some embodiments, the subject has a cancer that is positive for a KRas G12# mutation. In some embodiments, the subject is suspected of having a KRas G12# gene-associated cancer.
[0042] In some embodiments of any of the methods or uses described herein, an assay is used to determine whether the subject has KRas G12# (# being D, V, C, etc.) mutation using a sample (e g., a biological sample or a biopsy sample (e g , a paraffin-embedded biopsy sample) from a subject. Various techniques may be employed, for example, next generation sequencing, immunohistochemistry, fluorescence microscopy, break apart FISH analysis, Southern blotting. Western blotting, FACS analysis, Northern blotting, and PCR-based amplification (e.g., RT-PCR and quantitative real-time RT-PCR).
[0043] As used herein, the terms “treatment” or “treating” a disease or disorder refers to a method of reducing, delaying or ameliorating such a condition before or after it has occurred. Treatment may be directed at one or more effects or symptoms of a disease and / or the underlying pathology. Treatment is aimed to obtain beneficial or desired results including, but not limited to,Patent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT therapeutic benefit and / or a prophylactic benefit. By therapeutic benefit is meant eradication or amelioration of the underlying disorder being treated. Also, a therapeutic benefit is achieved with the eradication or amelioration of one or more of the physiological symptoms associated with the underlying disorder such that an improvement is observed in the patient, notwithstanding that the patient can still be afflicted with the underlying disorder. For prophylactic benefit, the pharmaceutical compounds and / or compositions can be administered to a patient at risk of developing a particular disease, or to a patient reporting one or more of the physiological symptoms of a disease, even though a diagnosis of this disease may not have been made. The treatment can be any reduction and can be, but is not limited to, the complete ablation of the disease or the symptoms of the disease. As compared with an equivalent untreated control, such reduction or degree of prevention is at least 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100% as measured by any standard technique.
[0044] As used herein, the term "therapeutic effect" refers to a therapeutic benefit and / or a prophylactic benefit as described herein. A prophylactic effect includes delaying or eliminating the appearance of a disease or condition, delaying or eliminating the onset of symptoms of a disease or condition, slowing, halting, or reversing the progression of a disease or condition, or any combination thereof.
[0045] Compounds of the present invention are, subsequent to their preparation, preferably isolated and purified to obtain a composition containing an amount by weight equal to or greater than 95% (“substantially pure”), which is then used or formulated as described herein. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are more than 99% pure.
[0046] Solvates and polymorphs of the compounds of the invention are also contemplated herein. Solvates of the compounds of the present invention include, for example, hydrates.
[0047] As used herein, the term an “isolated” or “substantially isolated” molecule (such as a polypeptide or polynucleotide) is one that has been manipulated to exist in a higher concentration than in nature or has been removed from its native environment. For example, a subject antibody is isolated, purified, substantially isolated, or substantially purified when at least 10%, or 20%, or 40%, or 50%, or 70%, or 90% of non-subject-antibody materials with which it is associated in nature have been removed. For example, a polynucleotide or a polypeptide naturally present in a living animal is not "isolated," but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide separated from the coexisting materials of its natural state is "isolated." Further, recombinant DNA moleculesPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT contained in a vector are considered isolated for the purposes of the present invention. Isolated RNA molecules include in vivo or in vitro RNA replication products of DNA and RNA molecules. Isolated nucleic acid molecules further include synthetically produced molecules. Additionally, vector molecules contained in recombinant host cells are also isolated. Thus, not all “isolated” molecules need be “purified.”
[0048] As used herein, the term “purified” when used in reference to a molecule, it means that the concentration of the molecule being purified has been increased relative to molecules associated with it in its natural environment, or environment in which it was produced, found or synthesized. Naturally associated molecules include proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and sugars but generally do not include water, buffers, and reagents added to maintain the integrity or facilitate the purification of the molecule being purified. According to this definition, a substance may be 5% or more, 10% or more, 20% or more, 30% or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more, 90% or more, 95% or more, 98% or more, 99% or more, or 100% pure when considered relative to its contaminants.

The formulations may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dose containers, for example, sealed ampules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze dried (lyophilized) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example water for injections, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets.
[0240] Such injection solutions may be in the form, for example, of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents (such as, for example, Tween 80) and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3 -butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are mannitol, water, Ringer's solution and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are natural pharmaceutically-acceptable oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially in their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions may also contain a long-chain alcohol diluent or dispersant.
[0241] Compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like.

[0254] Certain compounds of the present invention may exist in particular geometric or stereoisomeric forms. The present invention contemplates all such compounds, including cis-I l lPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT and trans- somers, R- and / / -enantiomers, diastereomers, (D)-isomers, (l.)-isomers, the racemic mixtures thereof, and other mixtures thereof, as falling within the scope of the invention. Additional asymmetric carbon atoms may be present in a substituent such as an alkyl group. All such isomers, as well as mixtures thereof, are intended to be included in this invention.
[0255] Isomeric mixtures containing any of a variety of isomer ratios may be utilized in accordance with the present invention. For example, where only two isomers are combined, mixtures containing 50:50, 60:40, 70:30, 80:20, 90:10, 95:5, 96:4, 97:3, 98:2, 99: 1, or 100:0 isomer ratios are contemplated by the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art will readily appreciate that analogous ratios are contemplated for more complex isomer mixtures.
[0256] If, for instance, a particular enantiomer of a compound of the present invention is desired, it may be prepared by asymmetric synthesis, or by derivation with a chiral auxiliary, where the resulting diastereomeric mixture is separated and the auxiliary group cleaved to provide the pure desired enantiomers. Alternatively, where the molecule contains a basic functional group, such as amino, or an acidic functional group, such as carboxyl, diastereomeric salts are formed with an appropriate optically-active acid or base, followed by resolution of the diastereomers thus formed by fractional crystallization or chromatographic methods well known in the art, and subsequent recovery of the pure enantiomers.
[0257] Isotopically-labeled compounds are also within the scope of the present disclosure. As used herein, an "isotopically-labeled compound" refers to a presently disclosed compound including pharmaceutical salts and prodrugs thereof, each as described herein, in which one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds presently disclosed include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorous, fluorine and chlorine, such as2H,3H,13C,14C,15N,18O,170,31P,32P,35S,18F, and36C1, respectively.
[0258] By isotopically-labeling the presently disclosed compounds, the compounds may be useful in drug and / or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (3H) and carbon- 14 (14C) labeled compounds are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (2H) can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. IsotopicallyPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT labeled compounds presently disclosed, including pharmaceutical salts, esters, and prodrugs thereof, can be prepared by any means known in the art.
[0259] Further, substitution of normally abundant hydrogen (’H) with heavier isotopes such as deuterium can afford certain therapeutic advantages, e.g., resulting from improved absorption, distribution, metabolism and / or excretion (ADME) properties, creating drugs with improved efficacy, safety, and / or tolerability. Benefits may also be obtained from replacement of normally abundant12C with13C. (See, WO 2007 / 005643, WO 2007 / 005644, WO 2007 / 016361, and WO 2007 / 016431.)
[0260] Stereoisomers (e.g., cis and trans isomers) and all optical isomers of a presently disclosed compound (e.g., R and S enantiomers), as well as racemic, diastereomeric and other mixtures of such isomers are within the scope of the present disclosure.
[0261] Compounds of the present invention are, subsequent to their preparation, preferably isolated and purified to obtain a composition containing an amount by weight equal to or greater than 95% (“substantially pure”), which is then used or formulated as described herein. In certain embodiments, the compounds of the present invention are more than 99% pure.
[0262] Solvates and polymorphs of the compounds of the invention are also contemplated herein. Solvates of the compounds of the present invention include, for example, hydrates.
[0263] Any appropriate route of administration can be employed, for example, parenteral, intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intraventricular, intracorporeal, intraperitoneal, rectal, or oral administration. Most suitable means of administration for a particular patient will depend on the nature and severity of the disease or condition being treated or the nature of the therapy being used and on the nature of the active compound.
[0264] Compositions for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically-acceptable sterile aqueous or nonaqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions, as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and nonaqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and the like), carboxymethylcellulose and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants.Patent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT
[0265] These compositions can also contain adjuvants such as preservative, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paragen, chlorobutanol, phenol sorbic acid, and the like. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars, sodium chloride, and the like. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[0266] Compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of liposomes. As is known in the art, liposomes are generally derived from phospholipids or other lipid substances. Liposomes are formed by mono- or multi-lamellar hydrated liquid crystals that are dispersed in an aqueous medium. Any non-toxic, physiologically-acceptable and metabolizable lipid capable of forming liposomes can be used. The present compositions in liposome form can contain, in addition to a compound of the present invention, stabilizers, preservatives, excipients, and the like. The preferred lipids are the phospholipids and the phosphatidyl cholines (lecithins), both natural and synthetic. Methods to form liposomes are known in the art. See, for example, Prescott, Ed., Methods in Cell Biology, Volume XIV, Academic Press, New York, N.Y. (1976), p. 33 et seq.
[0267] Total daily dose of the compositions of the invention to be administered to a human or other mammal host in single or divided doses may be in amounts, for example, from 0.0001 to 300 mg / kg body weight daily and more usually 1 to 300 mg / kg body weight. The dose, from 0.0001 to 300 mg / kg body, may be given twice a day.
[0268] Materials, compositions, and components disclosed herein can be used for, can be used in conjunction with, can be used in preparation for, or are products of the disclosed methods and compositions. It is understood that when combinations, subsets, interactions, groups, etc. of these materials are disclosed that while specific reference of each various individual and collective combinations and permutations of these compounds may not be explicitly disclosed, each is specifically contemplated and described herein. For example, if a method is disclosed and discussed and a number of modifications that can be made to a number of molecules including in the method are discussed, each and every combination and permutation of the method, and the modifications that are possible are specifically contemplated unless specifically indicated to the contrary. Likewise, any subset or combination of these is also specifically contemplated andPatent ApplicationAtty. Docket No. ENTX-035PCT disclosed. This concept applies to all aspects of this disclosure including, but not limited to, steps in methods using the disclosed compositions. Thus, if there are a variety of additional steps that can be performed, it is understood that each of these additional steps can be performed with any specific method steps or combination of method steps of the disclosed methods, and that each such combination or subset of combinations is specifically contemplated and should be considered disclosed.Examples
[0269] The following examples are given for the purpose of illustrating the invention, but not for limiting the scope or spirit of the invention.
