[0012] The present disclosure pertains to a method to synthesize the compound of Formula (VI) (macrocyclic diamine) utilizing an enzymatic, two-step, single-pot process.

[0066] In an embodiment, the crystalline form of (3aS,27S,30S,41aS,44S,44aS,47S,50S,Z)-30- amino-23-fluoro-47-((R)-l-hydroxyethyl)-50-(4-methoxybenzyl)-3a-methyl- l,2,3,3a,6,7,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,27,28,30,31,37,38,41a,44a,46,47,49,50-hexacosahydro-43H-8,1 l-etheno-27,44-methano-20,25:32,36-di(metheno)benzo[r]dipyrrolo[2,l-kl :2',3'- tl][l]oxa[4,14,20,27,35,38,41,44]octaazacycloheptatetracontine- 4,29,39,45,48,51,53(5H,26H,40H,42H)-heptaone (Formula (VI)) (Form 3) has an X-ray diffraction pattern substantially similar to that set forth in Figure 3.
[0067] In an embodiment, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) commences with coupling the compound of Formula (I) with the compound of Formula (II) via an amide bond to provide the compound of Formula (III).
[0068] The reaction proceeds through condensation of the Ri terminus (which can be in an ester form) of the compound of Formula (I) and the A -terminus of the compound of Formula (II). The reaction can be mediated by the TE enzyme. In addition to the TE enzyme, the reaction can involve a solvent or a co-solvent. In addition to the TE enzyme, the reaction can involve other necessary reagents. The compound of Formula (III) can be isolated as an amorphous solid or a crystalline solid. The crystalline solid can be obtained via seeding or in the absence of seeding.
[0069] In an embodiment, the wild type parent of the TE enzyme originates from the Tyrocidine NRPS TE domain from Brevibacillus laterosporus and is evolved away from its natural activity on / / 7 / -ester substrates (no measurable activity on ester substrates) to effectively mediate reaction on, for example, an isopropyl ester form of the compound of Formula (I). Advantageously, such an evolution of the TE enzyme provides synthetic utility, given the hydrolytic instability of thioesters and cost / stench of thiol precursors / byproducts. In an embodiment, the TE enzyme is evolved to recognize and couple the amine of ambident nucleophile of the compound of Formula (II) with greater than about 10:1, about 20: 1, about 30: 1, about 40: 1, about 50: 1, about 60: 1, about 70: 1, about 80: 1, about 90:1, about 95: 1, about 97:1, about 98: 1, or about 99: 1 N: O selectivity as its exclusive coupling partner.
[0070] Non-limiting examples of solvents used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) include DMAc, water, MeOH, EtOH, IPA, MeCN, sulfolane, NMP, DMSO, and DMF. Nonlimiting examples of bases used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) include NaOH. Other non-limiting examples of reagents used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) include TCEP, 2-CB, Ca(OAc)2, HEPES, DTT, organic phosphines, EPPS, MOPS, BES, tricine, bicine, CHES, bis tris, and sodium phosphate.
[0071] The synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) is carried out at a temperature ranging from about 10 °C to about 30 °C or from about 15 °C to about 23 °C, or any number therebetween. In an embodiment, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) is carried out at a temperature of about 20 °C. In some embodiments, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) is carried out at a pH ranging from about 7.5 to about 8.5. In some embodiments, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) is carried out at a pH ranging from about 7.6 to about 8.2. In an embodiment, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) is carried out at a pH of about 7.8.
[0072] In an embodiment, the compound of Formula (III) proceeds via a four-enzyme catalyzed macrocyclization to give the compound of Formula (VI). In this reaction, a KRED / IRED dual enzymatic recycling system couples the R.2 and Ra termini (which can be a primary amine and alcohol) of the compound of Formula (III) to achieve macrocyclization and generate the secondary amine of the compound of Formula (VI). In some embodiments, the R2 terminus is a primary amine and the Ra terminus is an alcohol. The reaction can be mediated by the KRED enzyme, the IRED enzyme, the LDH enzyme, and the ADH enzyme. In addition to these enzymes, the reaction can involve a solvent or in the presence of a co-solvent in aqueous media. In addition to these enzymes, the reaction can involve other necessary reagents.
[0073] Non-limiting examples of solvents used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) include DMSO, DMAc, water, and DMF. Non-limiting examples of bases used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (III) include NaOH, KOH, and NH4OH. Other non-limiting examples of reagents used in the synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) include NAD, NADP, sodium pyruvate, alpha-ketoglutarate, IPA, sodium formate, glucose, sodium phosphite, and buffers such as BES, bicine, bis tris, CHES, HEPES, MOPS, and tricine.
[0074] The synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) is carried out at a temperature ranging from about 20 °C to about 40 °C, from about 30 °C to about 40 °C, from about 32 °C to about 38 °C, or any number therebetween. In some embodiments, this synthesis is carried out at a temperature of about 30 °C. In an embodiment, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) is carried out at a temperature of about 32 °C or about 35 °C. In an embodiment, this synthesis is carried out at a temperature of about 35 °C.
[0075] In an embodiment, the macrocyclization proceeds via an oxidation-reduction cycle using a- ketoglutarate as the stoichiometric oxidant, isopropanol as the stoichiometric reductant, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) as catalytic co-factors. In various embodiments, a-ketoglutarate is added to the reaction in the a-ketoglutaric acid, disodium salt dihydrate form, or Na2-aKG.
[0076] In another embodiment, the macrocyclization proceeds via an oxidation-reduction cycle using sodium pyruvate as the stoichiometric oxidant, isopropanol as the stoichiometric reductant, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+) as catalytic co-factors. Use of a-ketoglutarate as stoichiometric oxidant may be preferable to pyruvate, as process development revealed that pyruvate requires slow addition and may result in one or more pyruvate adduct impurities. In contrast, a-ketoglutarate may be added to the reaction
[0077] In the first step, oxidation of the benzyl alcohol of the compound of Formula (III- 1) is mediated by NAD+ and an evolved KRED enzyme. The NADH that is formed is recycled back to NAD+ by an ancillary LDH enzyme using alpha-ketoglutarate as the stoichiometric oxidant. This oxidation process provides the transient aldehyde compound of Formula (IV), which may engage with the pendant amine to establish an equilibrium with the imine form of the compound of Formula
[0078] In the second step, the reduction of the compound of Formula (V) is mediated by an evolved IRED enzyme and NADPH. The NADP+ that is formed is recycled back to NADPH by an ancillary ADH enzyme. This reduction process selectively reduces the compound of Formula (V) over the compound of Formula (IV) to generate the diamine form of the compound of Formula (VI). This transformation is surprising since it is effected using only catalytic quantities of enzymes and cofactors. In addition, this transformation is surprising for the mildness which tolerates a high degree of molecular complexity, and the selectivity of the reaction induced between just one of the multiple alcohol and amine groups of the compound of Formula (IV), and in an intramolecular fashion to provide the compound of Formula (VI) over oligomeric products which would be expected to predominate under typical chemical conditions.
[0079] In an alternate embodiment, the synthesis of the compound of Formula (VI) commences with coupling the compound of Formula (I) with the compound of Formula (II) via reductive amination to provide the compound of Formula (VII). The compounds of Formula (I) and (II) are treated with the KRED enzyme, the LDH enzyme, the IRED enzyme, the ADH enzyme, and their relevant reagents to give the compound of Formula (VII).
[0080] Then the compound of Formula (VII) is treated with the TE enzyme and its relevant reagents to give the compound of Formula (VI).
[0081] In an alternate embodiment, the compound of Formula (VI) can be synthesized by isolating the compound of Formula (III) after completion of the TE enzyme reaction. The isolated compound of Formula (III) can then be further treated with the KRED enzyme, the LDH enzyme, the IRED enzyme, the ADH enzyme, and their relevant reagents to give the compound of Formula (VI).
[0082] In an alternate embodiment, the compound of Formula (VI) can be synthesized in a single pot without isolation of the compound of Formula (III). This may be done in a stepwise fashion, in which a stream of the TE enzyme generated compound of Formula (III) is directly treated with the KRED enzyme, the LDH enzyme, the IRED enzyme, the ADH enzyme, and their relevant reagents to give the compound of Formula (VI).
[0083] In an alternate embodiment, the compound of Formula (VI) can be synthesized by directly treating the compounds of Formulae (I) and (II) with the TE enzyme, the KRED enzyme, the LDH enzyme, the IRED enzyme, the ADH enzyme, and their relevant reagents to give the compound of Formula (VI).
[0084] The skilled artisan will appreciate that the disclosed processes, and in particular any coupling step carried out in the presence of a KRED enzyme and / or an IRED enzyme, may be carried out in the absence of an LDH enzyme and / or an ADH enzyme. In some embodiments, the disclosed processes are carried out in the absence of an LDH enzyme or an ADH enzyme. Likewise, the skilled artisan will appreciate that the disclosed processes, and in particular step (b), may carried out in the absence of oxidant a-ketoglutarate (aKG) and / or reductant isopropanol (IP A). As such, in some embodiments, the compound of Formula (VI) can be synthesized in the absence of an LDH enzyme, an ADH enzyme, aKG, or IPA.
[0085] As such, in some aspects, the compound of Formula (VI) may be synthesized in the presence of a KRED enzyme and an IRED enzyme, but the absence of an LDH enzyme or an ADH enzyme, or their relevant reagents aKG and IPA.

[0091] An example synthesis scheme of Formula (VI) is shown in the following.Definitions
[0092] Listed below are definitions of various terms used herein. These definitions apply to the terms as they are used throughout this specification and claims, unless otherwise limited in specific instances, either individually or as part of a larger group.
[0093] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, the nomenclatureused herein and the laboratory procedures in cell culture, molecular genetics, organic chemistry, and peptide chemistry are those well-known and commonly employed in the art.
[0094] As used herein, the articles “a” and “an” refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, “an element” means one element or more than one element. Furthermore, use of the term “including” as well as other forms, such as “include,” “includes,” and “included,” is not limiting.
[0095] As used herein, the term “about” in quantitative terms refers to plus or minus 10% of the value it modifies (rounded up to the nearest whole number if the value is not sub-dividable, such as a number of molecules or nucleotides). For example, in some instances, “about 100 [units]” can mean within ±10% of 100 (e.g., from 90 to 110).
[0096] All ranges disclosed herein are inclusive of the recited endpoint and independently combinable (for example, the range of “from 50 mg to 500 mg” is inclusive of the endpoints, 50 mg and 500 mg, and all the intermediate values). The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed herein are not limited to the precise range or value; they are sufficiently imprecise to include values approximating these ranges and / or values.
[0097] As used herein, the term “comprising” may include the embodiments “consisting of’ and “consisting essentially of.” The terms “comprise(s),” “include(s),” “having,” “has,” “may,” “contain(s),” and variants thereof, as used herein, are intended to be open-ended transitional phrases, terms, or words that require the presence of the named ingredients / steps and permit the presence of other ingredients / steps. However, such description should be construed as also describing compositions or processes as “consisting of’ and “consisting essentially of’ the enumerated components, which allows the presence of only the named components or compounds, along with any acceptable carriers or fluids, and excludes other components or compounds.
[0098] The term “substantially similar” used in reference to X-ray powder diffraction patterns means that the X-ray powder diffraction pattern of a polymorph may display “batch to batch” variations due to differences in the types of equipment used for the measurements, and fluctuations in both experimental conditions (e.g. purity and grain size of the sample) and instrumental settings (e g. X-ray wavelengths; accuracy and sensitivity of the diffractometer; and “instrumental drift”) normally associated with the X-ray diffraction measurement. Due to these variations, the same polymorph may not contain X-ray powder diffraction peaks at exactly the same positions orintensities shown in the figures disclosed herein. Accordingly, the term “about” used in reference to the peaks in an X-ray powder diffraction pattern takes into account these variations and a skilled artisan would readily appreciate the scope.
[0099] “Alkyl”, as well as other groups having the prefix “alk”, such as alkoxy, and the like, means carbon chains which may be linear or branched, or combinations thereof, containing the indicated number of carbon atoms. For instance, a Ci-Ce alkyl means an alkyl group having one (i.e., methyl) up to 6 carbon atoms (i.e., hexyl). In particular embodiments, linear alkyl groups have 1-6 carbon atoms and branched alkyl groups have 3-7 carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, sec- and Zc / V-butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, nonyl and the like.
[0100] “Alkylene” means a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group radical. The aliphatic hydrocarbon group may be straight or branched. Two single bonds exist and each single bond attaches to a different parent group. Non-limiting examples of an alkylene group include methylene (-CH2-) and ethylene (-CH2CH2-).
[0101] “Allyl” means -(CH2)n-HC=CH2, including an alkylene (-(CH2)n~) bridge attached to a terminal vinyl group (-HC=CH2).
[0102] “Aryl” means a monocyclic, bicyclic, tricyclic, or tetracyclic carbocyclic aromatic ring or ring system containing 5-17 carbon atoms, wherein at least one of the rings is aromatic. Non-limiting examples include phenyl and naphthyl.
[0103] The compounds of the present disclosure may contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus occur as “stereoisomers” including racemates and racemic mixtures, enantiomeric mixtures, single enantiomers, diastereomeric mixtures and individual diastereomers. Additional asymmetric centers may be present depending upon the nature of the various substituents on the molecule. Each such asymmetric center will independently produce two optical isomers, and it is intended that all of the possible optical isomers and diastereomers in mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds are included within the scope of this disclosure. The present disclosure is meant to comprehend all such isomeric forms of these compounds. When bonds to the chiral carbon are depicted as straight lines in the formulae of the disclosure, it is understood that both the (R) and (S) configurations of the chiral carbon, and hence both enantiomers and mixtures thereof, are embraced within a given formula. For example, Formula (X) shows the structure of the compound with the designation of specific stereochemistry. When the compounds of the present disclosure contain onechiral center, the term “stereoisomer” includes both enantiomers and mixtures of enantiomers, such as the specific 50:50 mixture referred to as a racemic mixture.
[0104] The independent syntheses of these diastereomers or their chromatographic separations may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the X-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates which are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration. If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diasteromeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods utilizing chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art. Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound may be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in the art.
[0105] Some of the compounds described herein may exist as tautomers which have different points of attachment of hydrogen accompanied by one or more double bond shifts. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. The individual tautomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed by the compounds of the present disclosure.
[0106] The individual atropisomers as well as mixtures thereof are encompassed by the compounds of the present disclosure. When resolved, individual atropisomers can be designated by established conventions such as those specified by the International Union of Pure Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) 2013 Recommendations.
[0107] In the compounds of the present disclosure, the atoms may exhibit their natural isotopic abundances, or one or more of the atoms may be artificially enriched in a particular isotope having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number predominantly found in nature. The present disclosure as described and claimedherein is meant to include all suitable isotopic variations of the compounds of the present disclosure and embodiments thereof. For example, different isotopic forms of hydrogen (H) include protium (1H) and deuterium (2H, also denoted herein as D). Protium is the predominant hydrogen isotope found in nature. Enriching for deuterium may afford certain therapeutic advantages, such as increasing in vivo half-life or reducing dosage requirements or may provide a compound useful as a standard for characterization of biological samples. Isotopically-enriched compounds can be prepared without undue experimentation by conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Schemes and Examples herein using appropriate isotopically-enriched reagents and / or intermediates.
[0108] The term “salts” refers to salts prepared from acceptable bases or acids including inorganic or organic bases and inorganic or organic acids. Salts derived from inorganic bases include aluminum, ammonium, calcium, copper, ferric, ferrous, lithium, magnesium, manganic salts, manganous, potassium, sodium, zinc, and the like. Particular embodiments include the ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium salts. Salts in the solid form may exist in more than one crystal structure, and may also be in the form of hydrates. Salts derived from organic bases include salts of primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, substituted amines including naturally occurring substituted amines, cyclic amines, and basic ion exchange resins, such as arginine, betaine, caffeine, choline, / TV'-dibenzylethylene-diamine, diethylamine, 2-diethylaminoethanol, 2- dimethylaminoethanol, ethanolamine, ethylenediamine, A -ethyl morpholine, JV-ethylpiperidine, glucamine, glucosamine, histidine, hydrabamine, isopropylamine, lysine, methylglucamine, morpholine, piperazine, piperidine, polyamine resins, procaine, purines, theobromine, triethylamine, trimethylamine, tripropylamine, tromethamine, and the like.
[0109] When the compound of the present disclosure is basic, salts may be prepared from acids, including inorganic and organic acids. Such acids include acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, camphorsulfonic, citric, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, gluconic, glutamic, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, isethionic, lactic, maleic, malic, mandelic, methanesulfonic, mucic, nitric, pamoic, pantothenic, phosphoric, succinic, sulfuric, tartaric, p-toluenesulfonic acid, and the like. Particular embodiments include the citric, hydrobromic, hydrochloric, maleic, phosphoric, sulfuric, fumaric, and tartaric acids. If a compound of the present disclosure simultaneously contains acidic and basic groups in the molecule, the disclosure also includes, in addition to the salt forms mentioned, inner salts orbetaines (zwitterions). Salts can be obtained from the compounds of the present disclosure by customary methods which are known to the person skilled in the art, for example, by combination with an organic or inorganic acid or base in a solvent or dispersant, or by anion exchange or cation exchange from other salts. The present disclosure also includes all salts of the compounds which, owing to low physiological compatibility, are not directly suitable for use in pharmaceuticals but which can be used, for example, as intermediates for chemical reactions or for the preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0110] Furthermore, the compounds of the present disclosure may exist in amorphous form and / or one or more crystalline forms, and as such all amorphous and crystalline forms and mixtures thereof of the compounds of the present disclosure, including the Examples, are intended to be included within the scope of the present disclosure. In addition, some of the compounds of the present disclosure may form solvates with water (i.e., a hydrate) or common organic solvents such as but not limited to ethyl acetate or isobutyl alcohol, or solvents such as but not limited to hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. Such solvates and hydrates, particularly the pharmaceutically acceptable solvates and hydrates, of the present compounds are likewise encompassed within the scope of this disclosure, along with unsolvated and anhydrous forms.
