IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODSCROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONSThe instant application is an international application which claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Applications Ser. Nos. 63 / 722,779, 63 / 722,941, and 63 / 722,950, each filed on November 20. 2024, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.FIELD OF DISCLOSURE
[0001] The field relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preventing or treating nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting), using a phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) inhibitor to slow cyclic nucleotide hydrolysis in combination with a Compound of Formula VIII, as described herein (e.g., lumateperone, or an analog or derivative thereof), or a Compound of Formula IX, as described herein, or using a PDE1 inhibitor in combination with an antiemetic agent, such as antipsychotic agents, e.g., olanzapine. In some embodiments, the Compound of Formula VIII or IX is used as mono-therapy (i.e., without a PDE1 inhibitor).BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] Eleven families of phosphodiesterases (PDEs) have been identified but only PDEs in Family I, the Ca2+ / calmodulin-dependent phosphodiesterases (CaM-PDEs), which are activated by Ca2+ / calmodulin, have been shown to mediate the calcium dependent cyclic nucleotide (e.g., cGMP and cAMP) signaling pathways. The three known CaM-PDE genes. PDE1A, PDE1B, and PDE1C, are all expressed in central nervous system tissue. PDE1A is expressed in the brain, lung and heart. PDE1B is primarily expressed in the central nervous system, but it is also detected in monocytes and neutrophils and has been shown to be involved in inflammatory responses of these cells. PDE1C is expressed in olfactory epithelium, cerebellar granule cells, striatum, heart, vascular smooth muscle and tumor cells. PDE1C has been demonstrated to be a major regulator of smooth muscle proliferation in human smooth muscle. Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases down-regulate intracellular cAMP and cGMP signaling by hydrolyzing these cyclic nucleotides to their respective 5’ -monophosphates (5’AMP and 5’GMP), which are inactive in terms of intra-cellular signaling pathways. Both cAMP and cGMP areIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 central intracellular second messengers and they play roles in regulating numerous cellular functions. PDE1A and PDE1B preferentially hydrolyze cGMP over cAMP, while PDE1C shows approximately equal cGMP and cAMP hydrolysis.
[0003] Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases decrease intracellular cAMP and cGMP signaling by hydrolyzing these cyclic nucleotides to their respective inactive 5 '-monophosphates (5'AMP and 5'GMP). CaM-PDEs play a critical role in mediating signal transduction in brain cells. For example, NMDA-type glutamate receptor activation and / or dopamine D2 receptor activation result in increased intracellular calcium concentrations, leading to activation of effectors such as calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII) and calcineurin and to activation of CaM-PDEs, resulting in reduced cAMP and cGMP. Dopamine DI receptor activation, on the other hand, leads to activation of calcium dependent nucleotide cyclases, resulting in increased cAMP and cGMP. These cyclic nucleotides in turn activate protein kinase A (PKA; cAMP- dependent protein kinase) and / or protein kinase G (PKG; c AMP-dependent protein kinase) that phosphorylate downstream signal transduction pathway elements such as DARPP-32 (dopamine and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein) and cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB).
[0004] CaM-PDEs can therefore affect dopamine-regulated and other intracellular signaling pathways including but not limited to nitric oxide, noradrenergic, neurotensin, CCK, VIP, serotonin, glutamate (e.g., NMDA receptor, AMPA receptor), GABA, acetylcholine, adenosine (e.g., A2A receptor), cannabinoid receptor, natriuretic peptide (e.g., ANP, BNP, CNP) and endorphin intracellular signaling pathways.
[0005] PDE1 is a therapeutic target for regulation of intracellular signaling pathways, preferably in the nervous system, including but not limited to a dopamine DI receptor, dopamine D2 receptor, nitric oxide, noradrenergic, neurotensin, CCK, VIP, serotonin, glutamate (e.g., NMDA receptor, AMPA receptor), GABA, acetylcholine, adenosine (e.g., A2A receptor), cannabinoid receptor, natriuretic peptide (e.g., ANP, BNP. CNP) or endorphin intracellular signaling pathway. For example, one on hand, inhibition of PDE1 can potentiate the effect of a dopamine DI agonist by protecting cGMP and cAMP from degradation, but on the other hand inhibition of PDE1 can inhibit dopamine D2 receptor signaling pathways.
[0006] The development of a wide range of chemotherapeutic drugs has significantly- improved cancer survival rate. However, chemotherapy causes several side effects. Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) is a common and distressing side effect ofIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 chemotherapy. Nausea is an unpleasant sensation experienced in the back of the throat and epigastrium, while vomiting is the motor reflex resulting in forceful upward expulsion of contents from the stomach. Although nausea and vomiting can result from other cancer treatments, such as surgery and radiation therapy, CINV is the most severe and most distressing. Severe symptoms of CINV decrease the patient’s quality of life and can potentially interfere with compliance with treatment, even leading to discontinuation of further treatment due to the fear of CINV.
[0007] The vomiting response is coordinated by the vomiting center (VC) of the brain, located in the medulla oblongata. The VC integrates a variety of peripheral and central inputs and elicits the emetic reflex as a response. Chemotherapeutic drugs can activate neurotransmitter receptors in the area postrema of the brain or stimulate vagal afferents near the enterochromaffin cells in the intestine. Multiple neurotransmitters, including serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5- HT), substance P (SP), dopamine, histamine, and their receptors are involved in CINV. Several antiemetic agents have been developed for CINV. Currently, the commonly used medications for CINV include 5-HT3 antagonists, corticosteroids, NK1 receptor antagonists, and dopamine receptor antagonists (e.g., promethazine, metoclopramide).
[0008] Various heterocycle fused gamma carbolines compounds have been disclosed as potential therapeutic agents based on their activity at one or more of the serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptors, dopamine DI or D2 receptors, and the serotonin transporter (SERT). These compounds have been suggested for use in the treatment of a variety of central nervous system disorders, such as psychosis, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,548.49, 6,552,017. 6,713,471, 7,081.455, 7,183.282, 7,238,690, 8.309,722, 8,598,119. 8,648,077, 10,245,260, 10,906,906, 10,961,245, RE39,680, RE39.679, US 2021 / 006009.
[0009] One such substituted heterocycle fused gamma-carboline of the aforementioned art is lumateperone ((4-((6bR,10aS)-3-methyl-2,3,6b.9.10.10a-hexahydro-lH-pyrido[3',4': 4,5]pyrrolo[l,2,3-de]quinoxalin-8(7H)-yl)-l-(4-fluorophenyl)-l-butanone). Lumateperone is a drug with a novel mechanism of action, being an antagonist of the serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptor, as well as a modulator of dopamine receptor signaling at the level of key intra-cellular phosphoproteins, and an inhibitor of the serotonin transporter (SERT). Lumateperone, launched in the United States as CAPLYTA® (lumateperone tosylate), has been approved for the treatment of schizophrenia, depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder (bipolarIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 depression) (both as monotherapy and adjunctive therapy), and as adjunctive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD).
[0010] At dopamine D2 receptors, this compound has been shown to have dual properties and acts as both a post-synaptic antagonist and a pre-synaptic partial agonist of the D2 receptor. It also stimulates phosphorylation of glutamatergic NMDA NR2B, or GluN2B, receptors in a mesolimbic specific manner. It is believed that this regional selectivity in the brain areas thought to mediate the efficacy of antipsychotic drugs, together with the serotonergic, glutamatergic, and dopaminergic interactions, may result in antipsychotic efficacy for positive, negative, affective and cognitive symptoms associated with schizophrenia.
[0011] Lumateperone displays differential dose-dependent effects, selectively targeting the 5-HT2A receptor at low doses, while progressively interacting with the D2 receptor and serotonin transporter at higher doses. Lumateperone is believed to be particularly effective in treating acute depression owing to its rapid onset of action compared to existing antidepressants. This is believed to be due to signaling through a neurotransmitter system separate from the traditional monoamine signaling systems. Lumateperone provides a dopamine Di receptordependent enhancement of NMDA and AMPA currents coupled with activation of the mTOR (e.g„ mTORCl) signaling pathway.
[0012] While other D2 dopamine receptor antagonists, including second-generation antipsychotics such as olanzapine, have been reported to exert an antiemetic effect, including for CINV, this has not been previously reported for lumateperone. Unlike lumateperone, olanzapine has several significant off-target interactions, including antagonist activity at adrenergic receptors, histamine Hl receptors, acetylcholine muscarinic receptors, other dopamine receptors (DI, D3, D4), and numerous serotonin receptors (5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HTS, 5HTe), and it has not been clear which activities are responsible for the antiemetic efficacy of olanzapine.
[0013] While lumateperone is a potent antagonist of the 5-HT2A receptor, it has recently been discovered that the 5-HT2A receptor can operate using one of two distinct signaling pathways: a G-protein coupled pathway that is typical of monoamine receptors, as well as a betaarresting mediated signaling pathway. The functional effects of these two pathways are different, and it has been discovered that compound related in structure to lumateperone can have 5-HT2A agonist or antagonist activity, separately, or together, via the two distinct mechanisms of receptor signaling. When a compound binds to a receptor such as 5-HT2A and selectively activates (orIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 inhibits) signaling through one pathway but not the other, this is referred to as biased signaling, and such a compound can be a biased agonist (or biased antagonist), including biased partial agonists. The present inventors have developed a series of compounds having these properties, as well as varying levels of dopamine receptor and SERT inhibitory activity, similar to lumateperone and its analogs. These compounds are likely to also provide novel antiemetic effects.
[0014] Olanzapine is an atypical antipsychotic drug that is primarily used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The term “atypical” refers to second-generation antipsychotic medications, which have somewhat improved side effect profiles compared to the first- generation antipsychotics, such as haloperidol. Atypical antipsychotics exert their antipsychotic efficacy through D2 dopamine receptor antagonism with additional effects on receptors for other neurotransmitters, e.g., serotonin. Olanzapine has been known to be an effective antiemetic drug for CINV. Olanzapine has antagonist activity at adrenergic receptors, histamine Hl receptors, acetylcholine muscarinic receptors, dopamine (DM) receptors and serotonin (5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, 5-HT?, 5HTfl) receptors. Olanzapine may exert an antiemetic effect through its antagonist activity at multiple receptors involved in CINV.
[0015] With the development of a wide range of cancer treatments, there is a need for the development of safe and efficacious pharmaceutical treatments for nausea and vomiting caused by cancer treatment, e.g., chemotherapy.SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0016] It was previously shown that the inhibition of PDE1 activity using the presently disclosed compounds can safely restore cAMP function in a wide spectrum of pathological conditions, including models of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation, heart failure, cancers, pulmonary hypertension and peripheral inflammation and in humans with certain diseases.
[0017] Lumateperone is both a potent 5-HT2A receptor antagonist and a potent post- synaptic D2 receptor antagonist, and it is believed to have efficacy as an anti-emetic agent, such as for treating CINV. In the D2 and 5-HT2A receptor signaling pathways, receptor activation results in increased intracellular calcium concentrations, leading to activation of PDE- 1 and reduced concentrations of c MP and cGMP. A PDE1 inhibitor is expected to act in concert with a 5-HT2A / D2 receptor antagonist to increase or prolong the increased cAMP andIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 cGMP levels. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that a PDE-1 inhibitor in combination with lumateperone may provide a strong antiemetic effect by protecting cAMP and / or cGMP from degradation. Therefore, a PDE1 inhibitor may be used in combination with lumateperone, and its analogs and derivatives, for the prevention or treatment of nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) by enhancing the efficacy of the antiemetic effect. Alternatively, lumateperone, or an analog thereof, may be used without a PDE1 inhibitor for the prevention or treatment of nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting).
[0018] Unlike lumateperone, the compounds of Formula IX disclosed herein are biased agonists or antagonists of the 5-HT2A receptor and some are also potent post-synaptic D2 receptor antagonists. Preferably, these agents are biased, and provide agonism of the beta-arrestin signaling pathway, but weak agonism, inverse agonism, or antagonism of the G-protein coupled signaling pathway. It is believed that these compounds will have efficacy as anti-emetic agents, such as for treating CINV. In the D2 and 5-HT2A receptor signaling pathways, receptor activation results in increased intracellular calcium concentrations via the G-protein coupled mechanism, leading to activation of PDE-1 and reduced concentrations of cAMP and cGMP. A PDE1 inhibitor is expected to act in concert with the compound of Formula IX to increase or prolong the increased cAMP and cGMP levels. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that a PDE-1 inhibitor in combination with the Compound of Formula IX may provide a strong antiemetic effect by protecting cAMP and / or cGMP from degradation. Therefore, a PDE1 inhibitor may be used in combination with Compounds of Formula IX, for the prevention or treatment of nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) by enhancing the efficacy of the antiemetic effect. Alternatively, Compounds of Formula IX may be used without a PDE1 inhibitor for the prevention or treatment of nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting).
[0019] Olanzapine is mainly a 5-HT2A / D2 receptor antagonist. In the D2 and 5-HT2A receptor signaling pathways, receptor activation results in increased intracellular calcium concentrations, leading to activation of PDE-I and reduced concentrations of cAMP and cGMP. A PDE1 inhibitor is expected to act in concert with a 5-HT2A / D2 receptor antagonist to increase or prolong the increased cAMP and cGMP levels. Without being bound by any theory, it is believed that a PDE- 1 inhibitor can potentiate the antiemetic effect of olanzapine, or similarIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 antipsychotic agents, by protecting cAMP and / or cGMP from degradation. Therefore, a PDE1 inhibitor may be used in combination with an antiemetic agent such as olanzapine for the prevention or treatment of nausea and / or vomiting, e.g., CINV (chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) by enhancing the efficacy of the antiemetic agent.

For example, when referring to a heteroaryl ring substituent, the terms “pyridine” and “pyridyl” are equivalent, as are the terms “morpholine” andIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1“morpholinyl.” The skilled artisan will recognize that such terms are used to denote attachment of, for example, pyridine or morpholine ring at the designated position, thus converting said ring to a pyridyl or morpholinyl substituent (radical) respectively. Absent an indication otherwise, such attachments may be made at any chemically permissible location of the attached ring.
[0049] Compounds of the Disclosure, e.g., PDE1 inhibitors or Compounds of Formula VIII or IX or antiemetic agents, as described herein, may exist in free or salt form, e.g., as acid addition salts. In this specification unless otherwise indicated, language such as “Compounds of the Disclosure” is to be understood as embracing the compounds in any form, for example, free base or acid addition salt form, or where the compounds contain acidic substituents, in base addition salt form. The Compounds of the Disclosure are intended for use as pharmaceuticals, therefore pharmaceutically acceptable salts are preferred. Salts which are unsuitable for pharmaceutical uses may be useful, for example, for the isolation or purification of free Compounds of the Disclosure or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and are therefore also included.
[0050] Compounds of the Disclosure may in some cases also exist in prodrug form. A prodrug form is compound which converts in the body to a Compound of the Disclosure. For example, when the Compounds of the Disclosure contain hydroxy or carboxy substituents, these substituents may form physiologically hydrolysable and acceptable esters. As used herein, “physiologically hydrolysable and acceptable ester” means esters of Compounds of the Disclosure which are hydrolysable under physiological conditions to yield acids (in the case of Compounds of the Disclosure which have hydroxy substituents) or alcohols (in the case of Compounds of the Disclosure which have carboxy substituents) which are themselves physiologically tolerable at doses to be administered. Therefore, wherein the Compound of the Disclosure contains a hydroxy group, for example, Compound-OH, the acyl ester prodrug of such compound, i.e., Compound-0-C(0)-Ci-4alkyl, can hydrolyze in the body to form physiologically hydrolysable alcohol (Compound-OH) on the one hand and acid on the other (e.g., HOC(O)-Ci-4alkyl). Alternatively, wherein the Compound of the Disclosure contains a carboxylic acid, for example, Compound-C(0)OH, the acid ester prodrug of such compound, Compound-C(O)O-Ci-4alkyl can hydrolyze to form Compound-C(O)OH and HO-Ci-4alkyl. As will be appreciated the term thus embraces conventional pharmaceutical prodrug forms.IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1
[0051] The Compounds of the Disclosure (PDE1 inhibitors and Compounds of Formula VIII or IX and antiemetic agents) include their enantiomers, diastereomers and racemates, as well as their polymorphs, hydrates, solvates and complexes. Some individual compounds within the scope of this disclosure may contain double bonds. Representations of double bonds in this disclosure are meant to include both the E and the Z isomer of the double bond. In addition, some compounds within the scope of this disclosure may contain one or more asymmetric centers. This disclosure includes the use of any of the optically pure stereoisomers as well as any combination of stereoisomers.
[0052] It is also intended that the Compounds of the Disclosure (PDE1 inhibitors and Compounds of Formula VIII or IX and antiemetic agents) encompass their stable and unstable isotopes. Stable isotopes are nonradioactive isotopes which contain one additional neutron compared to the abundant nuclides of the same species (i.e., element). It is expected that the activity of compounds comprising such isotopes would be retained, and such compound would also have utility for measuring pharmacokinetics of the non-isotopic analogs. For example, the hydrogen atom at a certain position on the Compounds of the Disclosure may be replaced with deuterium (a stable isotope which is non-radioactive). Examples of known stable isotopes include, but not limited to, deuterium,13C,15N,18O. Alternatively, unstable isotopes, which are radioactive isotopes which contain additional neutrons compared to the abundant nuclides of the same species (i.e., element), e.g.,1231,1311,125I,nC,18F, may replace the corresponding abundant species of I, C and F. Another example of useful isotope of the compound of the disclosure is theUC isotope. These radioisotopes are useful for radio-imaging and / or pharmacokinetic studies of the compounds of the disclosure.
[0053] The terms “treatment” and “treating” are to be understood as embracing treatment or amelioration of one or more symptoms of nausea and vomiting. For methods of treatment, the term “effective amount” is intended to encompass a therapeutically effective amount to treat or mitigate symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
[0054] The terms “prevention” and “preventing” are to be understood as embracing inhibition of one or more symptoms of nausea and vomiting and reduction of the likelihood of nausea and vomiting. For methods of prevention, the term “effective amount” is intended to encompass a therapeutically effective amount to inhibit one or more symptoms of nausea and vomiting.IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1
[0055] The terms “patient” and “subject” include human or non-human (i.e., animal) patient, and are understood to be interchangeable within the context of this disclosure. In particular embodiment, the disclosure encompasses both human and nonhuman. In another embodiment, the disclosure encompasses nonhuman. In other embodiment, the term encompasses human.
[0056] The term “comprising” as used in this disclosure is intended to be open-ended and does not exclude additional, un-recited elements or method steps.
[0057] The terms “purified,” “in purified form” or “in isolated and purified form” for a compound refers to the physical state of said compound after being isolated from a synthetic process (e.g., from a reaction mixture), or natural source or combination thereof. Thus, the term “purified.” “in purified form” or “in isolated and purified form” for a compound refers to the physical state of said compound after being obtained from a purification process or processes described herein or well known to the skilled artisan (e.g., chromatography, recrystallization, LC-MS and LC-MS / MS techniques and the like), in sufficient purity to be characterizable by standard analytical techniques described herein or well known to the skilled artisan.Methods of Using Compounds of the Disclosure

[0081] The term “combination,” or “combination therapy,” as used herein, embraces simultaneous, sequential, or contemporaneous administration of the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII, or the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula IX, or the PDE1 inhibitor and the antiemetic agent. The combination therapy may be achieved by administering a single composition or pharmacological formulation that includes the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII, or the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula IX, or the PDE1 inhibitor and the antiemetic agent, or by administration of two distinct compositions or formulations, separately, simultaneously or sequentially, wherein one composition includes the PDE1 inhibitor and the other includes the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent. The term “simultaneously” whenIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 referring to a therapeutic use means administration of two or more active ingredients at or about the same time by the same route of administration. The term “separately” when referring to a therapeutic use means administration of two or more active ingredients at or about the same time by different route of administration.
[0082] In some embodiments, the PDE1 inhibitor and / or the Compound of Formula VIII and / or the Compound of Formula IX and / or the antiemetic agent may be provided in the form of a pharmaceutical composition (e.g., a dosage form), for example for oral administration, e.g., in the form of pills (tablets or capsules), or for parenteral administration. In some embodiments, the PDE1 inhibitor and / or the Compound of Formula VIII and / or the Compound of Formula IX and / or the antiemetic agent are provided in the form of a long-acting depot for administration by injection to provide sustained release (e.g., intramuscular or subcutaneous injection). In some embodiments, the solid drug for oral administration or as a depot may be embedded, dissolved, dispersed, or suspended, in a suitable polymer matrix to provide delayed release of the active compound, for example, in polymeric microspheres or in a solvent-based earner. In some embodiments, the PDE1 inhibitor and / or the Compound of Formula VIII and / or the Compound of Formula IX and / or the antiemetic agent are provided in the form of nasal spray or inhaler. In some embodiments, the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII and / or the Compound of Formula IX and / or the antiemetic agent are in a single dosage form in combination or association with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
[0083] As used herein, the term “spiro-joined” is meant to clarify that the stated C3- ecycloalkyl group or 3-6-membered heterocycloalkyl is present in a spiro-junction, meaning that one atom of said cyclic group is an atom of the ring to which the group is attached. For example, the follow are examples of compounds of Formula EX having spiro-joined cyclic groups within the scope of the present disclosure:IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1
[0084] In each of the above examples, the cyclopropane, cyclobutane, aziridine, azetidine, or oxetane, may be replaced by any other C?-6cycloalkyl or 3-6-membered heterocycloalkyl, including, but not limited to, cyclopentane, cyclohexane, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, or morpholine.
[0085] In some embodiments, the Compound of Formula IX is a biased agonist of the serotonin 5-HTIA receptor (e.g., biased towards beta-arrestin mediated agonism). Without being bound by theory, it is believed that biased agonism of this receptor will provide the benefits of rapid and / or potent anti-depressant activity comparable to or better than the hallucinogenic psychedelics, but without the hallucinogenic side effects of such compounds. Nevertheless, in some embodiments, the Compounds of the Invention may be slightly or mildly hallucinogenic and / or may be non-biased agonists, or antagonists, of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Preferably, the Compounds of Formula IX are non-hallucinogenic.
[0086] The term “biased agonist” as used herein, is used in reference to a compound having activity at the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with either partial or full agonism for beta-arrestin signaling via the receptor, but with either antagonism or weak partial agonism for G-q mediated signaling. A useful measure of bias is the “bias ratio”, which is calculated as the ratio of the intrinsic relative activity (RAi) for beta-arrestin signaling over the RAi for G-q signaling. A nonbiased agonist has a bias ratio of 1.0. A biased agonist has a non-zero bias ratio. In some embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure are preferably biased towards beta-arrestin signaling, and thus have a bias ratio greater than 1.0. More preferably, the bias ratio towards beta-arrestin signaling is greater than 10, or greater than 100, or greater than 1000. or 10,000 or more.
[0087] As used herein, the term “partial agonist” is understood to refer to a compound having agonism to any extent that is lesser than that of a reference standard full agonist. For example, the reference compound for 5-HT2A receptor agonism is alpha-methylserotonin. A compound which has a maximum efficacy (Emax) that is less than 100% of the maximum efficacy for alpha-methylserotonin is a partial agonist.IT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1
[0088] The term “hallucinogen” refers to a compound which causes hallucinogenic symptoms, which are any one or more symptoms selected from visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, visual distortions (such as drifting, morphing, breathing or melting of objects and surfaces in the field of view), detachment from reality, dissociation, delirium, and undesired altered states of consciousness. A compound of the present disclosure is considered “non- hallucinogenic” if at doses which are therapeutically effective for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders described herein (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.) the compound does not cause hallucinogenic symptoms.
[0089] It is understood that the terms “opiate” and “opioid” are distinct, in that “opiate” refers to natural products derived from the opium poppy, such as morphine, codeine and heroin, but “opioid” refers to these natural compounds as well as semi-synthetic and synthetic derivatives thereof, such as fentanyl and its analogs.

[0093] In the present disclosure, the PDE1 inhibitor may be administered in combination with the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent. For example, a patient may be administered the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent in combination with any of the disclosed PDE1 inhibitors.
[0094] Combinations may be achieved by administering a single composition or pharmacological formulation (e.g., dosage form) that includes the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent, or by administration of two distinct compositions or formulations (e.g., dosage forms), separately, simultaneously or sequentially, wherein one composition, formulation, or dosage form comprises the PDE1 inhibitor and the other composition, formulation, or dosage form comprises the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent. The therapy using a PDE1 inhibitor may precede or follow administration of the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent by intervals ranging from minutes to weeks. In embodiments where the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent are applied separately to the subject or patient, one would generally ensure that a significant period of time did not expire between the time of each delivery, such that the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent would still be able to exert an advantageously combined effect on the subject or patient. In some embodiments, it is contemplated that one would typically administer both the PDE1 inhibitor and the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent within about 12-24 hours of each other and, more preferably, within about 6-12 hours of each other, with a delay time of only about 12 hours being most preferred. In some situations, it may be desirable to extend the time period forIT-209-PCT / ICT1209WOPCT1 treatment significantly, however, where several days (2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7) to several weeks (1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8) lapse between the respective administrations.
[0095] It also is conceivable that more than one administration of either the PDE1 inhibitor, or the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX will be desired. In this regard, various combinations may be employed. By way of illustration, where the PDE1 inhibitor is “A” and the Compound of Formula VIII or the Compound of Formula IX or the antiemetic agent is “B,” the following permutations based on 3 and 4 total administrations are exemplary:
