Description

Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WOMETHODS FOR TREATING DHDDS-RELATED DISORDERSCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of United States Provisional Application No. 63 / 701,223, filed September 30, 2024, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD

[0002] Provided herein are compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for treating or preventing DHDDS-related disorders.BACKGROUND

[0003] The mammalian DHDDS gene encodes dehydrodolichyl diphosphate synthase subunit (DHDDS). This catalytic subunit, along with NgBR (also known as Nogo-B receptor), encoded by the NUS1 gene, forms the cis-prenyltransferase (c / .s-PTase) complex. This complex catalyzes the rate-limiting step in dolichol biosynthesis, by condensing farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) with multiple isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) units to generate polyprenol diphosphate (polyprenol- PP). Dolichol kinase (DOLK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of dolichol using cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to generate dolichyl-phosphate (Dol-P). Dol-P is known as an essential lipid that serves as a lipid carrier for protein N-glycosylation and as monosaccharide donor (Dol-P- glucose and Dol-P mannose) in N-glycosylation, O-mannosylation, C-mannosylation and glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor biosynthesis.

[0004] Mutations in DHDDS gene are reported to be linked to several disorders, including an autosomal recessive form of retinitis pigmentosa (also known as retinitis pigmentosa 59), a fatal congenital disorder of glycosylation (also known as CDG type Ibb or DHDDS-CDG) and a neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorder caused by de novo pathogenic variants (also known as DHDDS disorder or developmental delay and seizures with or without movement abnormalities (DEDSM)). Over 70 patients with DEDSM have been reported worldwide, with clinical presentations characterized by neurodevelopmental delay, epilepsy, movement disorders, cognitive decline, and psychiatric symptoms.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO

[0005] Recurrent de novo pathogenic variants, Arg37His (R37H), Arg211Gln (R211Q), and Arg205Gln (R205Q) have been identified in DEDSM patients. Clinically, DEDSM presents progressively, often manifesting in infancy or childhood with symptoms such as neurodevelopmental disorders, generalized epilepsy, action myoclonus or cortical tremor, and ataxia. As the disease advances, clinical symptoms evolve to include a gradual neurological decline, marked by the onset of hyperkinetic or hypokinetic movement disorders, cognitive deterioration, and psychiatric disturbances.

[0006] Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDGs) are a group of more than 200 inherited metabolic diseases affecting protein and lipid-linked glycosylation. CDGs may be broadly classified according to the type(s) of glycosylation pathways affected, with DHDDS-CDG belonging to the subgroup of disorders of dolichol metabolism. Unlike other CDG types involving disorders of dolichol metabolism, hypoglycosylation of serum glycoproteins or an abnormal urinary Dol-18 / Dol-19 ratio has not been reported in DEDSM. It has been reported that there is evidence of lipid and cholesterol-like material accumulation and lysosomal dysfunction in Schwann cells, myelinated fibers, and fibroblasts in DEDSM.

[0007] Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of rare inherited metabolic disorders characterized by the accumulation of toxic substances within lysosomes, which leads to a diverse range of clinical presentations including developmental delays, enlarged organs and neurological symptoms. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a metabolite involved in energy production and cellular metabolism, and its depletion has been observed in cellular models of lysosomal storage diseases. It has been reported that DEDSM shares characteristics of both CDG and lysosomal storage diseases.

[0008] Currently, there is no cure for DEDSM or other DHDDS related diseases, and treatment is primarily supportive and symptomatic, focusing on managing individual symptoms as they arise. Development of improved treatment of DEDSM or other DHDDS related diseases is desired.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WOSUMMARY

[0034] A “stereoisomer” refers to a compound made up of the same atoms bonded by the same bonds but having different three-dimensional structures, which are not interchangeable. The present disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers, or mixtures thereof, and includes “enantiomers,” which refers to two stereoisomers whose molecules are non-superimposable mirror images of one another.

[0035] The term “solvate” refers to a complex formed by a combination of solvent molecules with molecules or ions of the solute. The solvent can be an organic compound, an inorganic compound, or a mixture of both. As used herein, the term “solvate” includes a “hydrate” (i.e. a complex formed by combination of water molecules with molecules or ions of the solute), hemihydrate, channel hydrate, etc. Some examples of solvents include, but are not limited to, methanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide, and water. In general, the solvated forms are equivalent to unsolvated forms and are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0036] The term “solid form” refers to a type of solid-state material that includes amorphous as well as crystalline forms. The term “crystalline form” refers to polymorphs as well as solvates, hydrates, etc. The term “polymorph” refers to a particular crystal structure having particular physical properties such as X-ray diffraction, melting point, and the like.

[0037] Some of the compounds exist as tautomers. Tautomers are in equilibrium with one another. For example, amide containing compounds may exist in equilibrium with imidic acid tautomers. Regardless of which tautomer is shown, and regardless of the nature of the equilibrium among tautomers, the compounds are understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to comprise both amide and imidic acid tautomers. Thus, the amide containing compounds areAttorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO understood to include their imidic acid tautomers. Likewise, the imidic acid containing compounds are understood to include their amide tautomers.

[0038] As used herein, “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” includes any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents and the like. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Except insofar as any conventional media or agent is incompatible with the active ingredient, its use in the therapeutic compositions is contemplated. Supplementary active ingredients can also be incorporated into the compositions.

[0039] “Treatment” or “treating” is an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results may include one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g., decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and / or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more clinical symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g. , stabilizing the disease or condition, preventing or delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition, and / or preventing or delaying the spread (e.g., metastasis) of the disease or condition); and / or c) relieving the disease, that is, causing the regression of clinical symptoms (e.g., ameliorating the disease state, providing partial or total remission of the disease or condition, enhancing effect of another medication, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and / or prolonging survival).

[0040] “Prevention” or “preventing” means any treatment of a disease or condition that causes the clinical symptoms of the disease or condition not to develop. Compounds may, in some embodiments, be administered to a subject (including a human) who is at risk or has a family history of the disease or condition.

[0041] “Subject” or “patient” refers to an animal, such as a mammal (including a human), that has been or will be the object of treatment, observation or experiment. The methods described herein may be useful in human therapy and / or veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the subject or patient is a mammal. In some embodiments, the subject or patient is a human.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO

[0042] The term “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” of a compound described herein means an amount sufficient to effect treatment when administered to a subject, to provide a therapeutic benefit such as amelioration of symptoms or slowing of disease progression. For example, a therapeutically effective amount may be an amount sufficient to decrease a symptom of a condition or disorder described herein, including but not limited to a condition or disorder mediated, at least in part, by DHDDS, such as retinitis pigmentosa 59, DHDDS-CDG and DEDSM. The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the subject, and disease or condition being treated, the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease or condition, and the manner of administering, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0043] The methods described herein may be applied to cell populations in vivo or ex vivo. "In vivo” means within a living individual, as within an animal or human. In this context, the methods described herein may be used therapeutically in an individual. “Ex vivo” means outside of a living individual. Examples of ex vivo cell populations include in vitro cell cultures and biological samples including fluid or tissue samples obtained from individuals.

Plates were briefly vortexed and then incubated for 20 minutes prior to reading (Envision Plate reader).EXAMPLE 1 - Yeast Mutant Models of DEDSM

[0144] In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the cis-PTase complex subunits are encoded by RER2 and SRT1 (DHDDS orthologs) and NUS1 (NgBR ortholog). A triple deletion yeast strain (“KG405”) lacking its three endogenous c / .s-PTase components (rer2A / srt 1 A / nus 1 A) is lethal and is complemented by co-expression of wild-type human DHDDS and NgBR (“WT-DHDDS / WT- NgBR”) but not individual genes. To facilitate high-throughput screening for compounds that may treat DEDSM, previously generated yeast models co-expressing a human DEDSM- associated patient allele and wild-type NgBR (Galosi et al. 2022) were used. In the triple deletion yeast strain, human DEDSM-associated patient alleles R37H, R21 IQ and R205Q under the native RER2 promoter were co-expressed with NgBR to generate yeast models of DHDDS disorder.

[0145] The growth defect of each DHDDS “patient avatar” was measured by a luminescencebased growth assay and compared to a positive control, KG405 yeast co-expressing wild-type DHDDS and NUS1 (“WT-DHDDS / WT-NgBR”) and a negative control, KG405 yeast coexpressing empty DHDDS and NUS 1 (“DHDDS vector / NgBR vector”). All DHDDS patient alleles exhibited reduced growth compared to wild-type, as shown in FIG. 1.EXAMPLE 2 - Drug Screen in a Yeast Model Expressing the DHDDS-R205Q Patient Allele

[0146] The DHDDS-R205Q mutant was advanced to a high-throughput drug screen. The 8,387-compound L4000 Bioactive TargetMol library collection comprising FDA-approved drugs, drugs in various stages of clinical development, bioactive tool compounds, and natural products was used for screening at 20 pM. The DHDDS-R205Q mutant was screened in singlicate and in 384-well plates, with each plate containing 32 wells of R205Q mutant cells (negative control) and 32 wells of wild-type cells (positive control), each in 0.72% DMSO.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO

[0147] The positive and negative controls exhibited a distinct separation of luminescence values, enabling the identification of compounds which rescued growth of the mutant strain, as shown in FIG. 2. 61 compounds, excluding pan-assay interference compounds, were identified that rescued the growth of the mutant strain. It is contemplated that these compounds can exert their therapeutic effects in human DEDSM, having corresponding mutations in DHDDS, by boosting NAD+ levels and / or CTP levels, reducing lipid accumulation, restoring glycosylation and / or lysosomal function.

[0148] For example, Compound 1 is the pyrimidine nucleoside triphosphate, cytidine triphosphate (CTP). CTP is high-energy molecule used in the biosynthesis of RNA and lipids, and in protein glycosylation. In glycosylation, the phosphorylation of dolichol to generate the lipid carrier Dol-P is a CTP-dependent reaction. Uridine triphosphate (UTP), another pyrimidine nucleotide, also rescued DHDDS mutant yeast. UTP is involved in the synthesis of RNA and acts as a precursor in the biosynthesis of CTP.

[0149] Compound 2 is the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+), NADPH tetracyclohexamine. NADPH is a coenzyme used in anabolic reactions, such as lipid and nucleic acid synthesis, and plays a vital role in maintaining cellular redox balance by providing reducing power for antioxidant defense. NADP+ or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof (e.g., sodium salt), the oxidized form of NADPH, was also a rescuer of DHDDS mutant yeast. NADP+ is also involved in metabolic processes and serves as a substrate in the NADPH production cycle, maintaining the balance between its reduced and oxidized states.

[0150] Compounds linked to one-carbon metabolism were identified as rescuers of DHDDS mutant yeast. This includes methotrexate (Compound 4) and S-(5'-adenosyl)-L-methionine (SAM) tosylate. Methotrexate is an antifolate drug that inhibits dihydrofolate reductase, thereby interfering with DNA synthesis and cell division by limiting the availability of tetrahydrofolate, a critical component in one-carbon metabolism. SAM is a methyl donor involved in numerous methylation reactions and has been reported to regulate cholesterol metabolism. Triciribine, an AKT inhibitor, was also a rescuer and shares structural similarity with SAM and methotrexate through its nitrogen-containing ring systems.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO

[0151] Compound 3 is carprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes involved in prostaglandin synthesis.

[0152] Compound 5 is noradrenaline bitartrate monohydrate, a synthetic form of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. Other compounds identified as rescuers of DHDDS mutant yeast include various neurotransmitter derivatives and analogs. These compounds, such as 3- aminobutanoic acid, 3-guanidinopropionic acid, 4-guanidinobutyric acid, 3-aminopropionitrile, and N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, are structurally related to neurotransmitters.

[0153] Other prominent classes of rescue compounds identified in the DHDDS yeast screen included flavonoids, terpenes, steroids, and alkylphospholipids.EXAMPLE 3 - Dose-dependent Rescue of DHDDS-R205Q Mutant Growth

[0154] Dose response assays were performed to evaluate the effect of Compound 1 , Compound 2, Compound 3, Compound 4, and Compound 5 on DHDDS-R205Q mutant yeast growth.Given that NADP+ and NADPH significantly rescued DHDDS mutant yeast growth, the NAD+ precursor molecules NMN (Compound 6), NMNH (Compound 7), niacin (Compound 8), niacinamide (Compound 9) and nicotinamide riboside (Compound 10) were also evaluated by dose response assays. Compounds 1-8 exhibited a dose-dependent rescue effect of DHDDS- R205Q mutant yeast compared to the negative control. It is contemplated that the compounds may individually or collectively boost NAD+ levels, increase CTP levels, reduce lipid accumulation, and restore glycosylation and / or lysosomal function in DEDSM and related diseases. FIG. 3 illustrates the dose response of Compounds 1-10 in DHDDS-R205Q mutant yeast compared to DMSO control in a 24-hour luminescent-based growth assay. Compounds 1-8 demonstrated dose-dependent rescue of DHDDS mutant yeast growth compared to the negative control, as shown in FIG. 3.EXAMPLE 4 - Energy Metabolism of DHDDS Patient Derived Organoids with NMN Treatment

[0155] The genetic, laboratory, and clinical data of 3 patients with heterozygous DHDDS variants, having DHDDS associated disorder developmental delay and seizures with or without movement abnormalities (DEDSM), enrolled in the Frontier in CDG Consortium (FCDGC)Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO natural history study (NCT04199000) were collected. All patients’ skin biopsies were obtained for establishing fibroblasts as part of the standard clinical care. Residual samples from patients were deidentified and used for further studies. Additional healthy fibroblasts were obtained from Coriell Institute for Medical Research.

[0156] The induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from patients and controls were reprogrammed and cultured as previously described. Patient-derived iPSC’s were assessed for pluripotency markers and ability to differentiate into all 3 germ layers. All controls iPSCs have also been previously validated for pluripotency. The DHDDS and control iPSCs were cultured in a 10 cm plate and the organoids were developed using the Aggrewell method.

[0157] DHDDS and control organoids were collected for Seahorse measurements between Day 65 and Day 100, in parallel with controls. Mitochondrial respiration was assessed using the Agilent Seahorse XF Cell Mito Stress Test to measure oxygen consumption rate (OCR) in DHDDS-deficient and control cortical organoids. Each organoid was sectioned into four equal pieces (approximately 1 mm3), with one piece placed per well in the XF assay plate. Prior to measurement, the culture medium was replaced with Seahorse XF DMEM (Agilent, 102353- 100) supplemented with 10 mM glucose, 1 mM pyruvate, and 2 mM E-glutamine. OCR was normalized to citrate synthase (CS) activity to account for differences in mitochondrial content. Each condition was assayed in 8 technical replicates, with five repeated measurements per sample.

[0158] Seahorse measurement to evaluate energy metabolism in 4 patient cell (“DHDDS”) derived brain organoid between day of 120-150 days of culture showed abnormal basal (Basal OCR) and maximal respiration (Max OCR) compared to 4 healthy control (“HC”) derived brain organoids. Organoids were treated with 0.5 mM (FIGS. 4A-B) and ImM (FIGS. 5A-B) nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) for two weeks. As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5B, both Basal OCR and Max OCR improved significantly on treatment with NMN for DHDDS patient organoids, either with 0.5 pM and 1 pM NMN, and the degree with improvement in basal / max OCR were greater than healthy control derived brain organoids.Attorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WOEXAMPLE 5 - Energy Current of DEDSM Organoids with NMN Treatment

[0159] Electrophysiological recordings were conducted using the 6-well high-density microelectrode array (MEA) MaxTwo system (HD-MEA) from MaxWell Biosystems. Wells were prepared following the MaxWell “Brain Organoid Plating Protocol, V2.0,” with minor modifications. Briefly, 6-well MEA plates were incubated in 1% Tergazyme solution for 2 hours at room temperature (RT), washed three times with distilled water, sterilized in ethanol for 30 minutes, and washed again three times with distilled water. Each well received 1 mL of Neurobasal-A (NBA) medium and was incubated for 48 hours for pre-conditioning.

[0160] After incubation, 50 pL of 0.07% poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) was added to each well and incubated for 1 hour. Wells were then washed three times with distilled water and air-dried for 1 hour at RT. Next, 50 pL of 0.04 mg / mL laminin in NBA was added and incubated overnight. Laminin was aspirated, and health control and DEDSM patient cortical brain organoids were placed directly on the electrodes without media for 2-5 minutes. Subsequently, 50 pL of 0.04 mg / mL laminin in NBA was slowly added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 2 hours. For each organoid line, four MEA wells were prepared. After the 2-hour incubation, 1 mL of NBA was gently added to each well. The following day, half of the media was replaced with fresh NBA.

[0161] Organoids were maintained by changing the media every 3-4 days, and for the measurements, Neurobasal-A media was changed to BrainPhys media at least 24 hours before MEA recording. Recordings were performed using MaxLab software. The built-in “Activity Scan” protocol was used to identify active areas and assess firing rates. All parameters were kept at default except the recording duration, which was extended to 60 seconds to better detect slower activity. This was followed by the “Network Assay” protocol to evaluate neuronal network firing, using the neuronal units parameter. Lastly, the “Axon Tracking Assay” was performed using block parameters to detect axonal signal propagation.

[0162] Results were averaged across the six wells plated for each individual, and the results are shown in FIGS. 6A-C (FIG. 6A: healthy control; FIG. 6B: DEDSM patient (“DHDDS”); FIG. 6C: DHDDS patient with 0.5 pM nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) treatment). Burst threshold was >2 Hz (root mean square of the firing rate). Only wells with a firing rate >0.2 HzAttorney Docket No.: 228 J-419245- WO were included for activity and network analysis. As shown in FIG. 6, 0.5 pM NMN modified energy current pattern, showing burst similar to healthy control organoids.EXAMPLE 6 - Clinical Effect of NMN Treatment for DEDSM Patients

[0163] Clinical efficacy of nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) (250 mg / day) was evaluated in four patients with DEDSM using the International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS). ICARS is a standardized scale (range: 0 = normal to 100 = most severe impairment) that measures four domains of neurological dysfunction: limb ataxia, dysarthria, posture and gait disturbances, and oculomotor disorders (Trouillas P, et al 1997; Martinez-Monseny et al. 2019). Assessments were conducted prior to initiation of NMN treatment and after 6 months of continuous therapy. The results are shown in FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, all four patients showed decrease in ICARS in 6 months.* * *
