Description

N-ACYL AMIDES AND ANALOGS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 736,989, filed December 20, 2024 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No.63 / 698,883, filed September 25, 2024, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present disclosure provides compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, dosage forms, and methods of treating inflammation, decreasing inflammation, decreasing inflammatory markers, treating inflammatory bowel disorder, or treating colorectal cancer. BACKGROUND

[0003] Many diseases are associated with the regulation of inflammatory processes. A huge part of the population is afflicted with or knows someone afflicted with a disease associated with the inflammatory process.

[0004] Such diseases include inflammatory conditions and cancer, among others. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one such inflammatory condition and typically refers to two conditions: Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Crohn’s disease is characterized by inflammation of the digestive tract lining and may often spread deep into affected tissues. Ulcerative colitis is a condition causing long-lasting inflammation and sores (ulcers) in the innermost lining of the large intestine (colon) and rectum. Typical symptoms of ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease include severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, and weight loss. Without appropriate management, inflammatory bowel disease can progress and increase the subject’s risk of colon cancer, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and blood clots. Complications of Crohn’s disease include, e.g., bowel obstruction, malnutrition, ulcers, fistulas, and anal fissures. Complications of ulcerative colitis include, e.g., toxic megacolon, colon perforation, and severe dehydration. While various approaches for inflammatory bowel disease management have been developed, these approaches are typically systemic and rely on inflammation suppression rather than the treatment of the underlying condition.

[0005] Compounds that suppress inflammatory immune responses are needed. SUMMARY

[0024] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] In the disclosure, the singular forms “a,” “an” and “the” include the plural reference, and reference to a particular numerical value includes at least that particular value, unless the context indicates otherwise. For example, reference to “a material” is a reference to at least one of such materials and equivalents thereof known to those skilled in the art, and so forth.

[0026] When a value is expressed as an approximation by use of the descriptor “about” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. In general, use of the term “about” indicates approximations that can vary depending on the desired properties sought to be obtained by the disclosed subject matter and is to be interpreted in the specific context in which it is used, based on its function. The person skilled in the art will be able to interpret this as a matter of routine. In some cases, the number of significant figures used for a particular value may be one non-limiting method of determining the extent of the word “about.” In other cases, the gradations used in a series of values may be used to determine the intended range available to the term “about” for each value. Where present, all ranges are inclusive and combinable. That is, references to values stated in ranges include every value within that range.

[0027] When a list is presented, unless stated otherwise, it is to be understood that each individual element and every combination is to be interpreted as separate embodiments.

[0104] “Treating” or variations thereof refers ameliorating or reducing the development of a disease or disorder, i.e., delaying the onset of the disease. In certain embodiments, “treating” refers to ameliorating or reducing at least one physical parameter of the disease or disorder. In other embodiments, “treating” is directed to improving the disease or disorder. In further embodiments, “treating” is directed to the cause of the disease or disorder. In yet other embodiments, “treating” is directed to relieving symptoms of the disease or disorder. In still further embodiments, “treating” is directed to treating the disease or disorder as a supplement another therapy.

[0105] The term “inflammation” as used herein refers to a physical condition in which a part of the subject’s body becomes inflamed. Signs of inflammation include, e.g., redness, welling, heat, pain, and / or loss of function. One skilled in the art, e.g., an attending physician, would be able to recognize such signs.

In human immune cells, RNA vaccines induce production of IL-1 cytokines, predominantly IL-1β, which is dependent on both the RNA and lipid formulation. IL-1 in turn triggers the induction of the broad spectrum of pro- inflammatory cytokines (including IL-6).

[0109] In certain examples, the inflammatory regulatory molecule is a cytokine. In some embodiments, the cytokine is an interleukin (IL), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFNγ), or granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).
