The disclosure of the prior application is considered part of and is incorporated by reference in its entirety in the disclosure of this application.REFERENCE TO AN ELECTRONIC SEQUENCE LISTING
[0002] The contents of the electronic sequence listing (A127870040WO00-SEQ-JIB.xml;Size: 285,821 bytes; and Date of Creation: December 8, 2025) are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.BACKGROUND
[0003] Alpha- synuclein (aSyn) is primarily found in presynaptic nerve terminals. The function of aSyn remains unclear, but studies suggest that aSyn is involved in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, synaptic function and plasticity, mitochondrial function, gene regulation, and SNARE complex assembly. The role of aSyn in dopaminergic transmission and the presence of aSyn in Lewy bodies implicate aSyn in the cause and progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Indeed, aSyn accumulation and aggregation are the common characteristics of neurodegenerative disorders referred to as a-synucleinopathies (synucleinopathies). In addition to PD, aSyn aggregates in neurons or glial cells have been linked to other a-synucleinopathies, such as dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and multiple system atrophy (MSA). In PD and DLB, aSyn inclusions, called Lewy bodies (LBs), are located primarily in neurons and neurites. These conditions are believed to be age-related disorders influenced by genetic and environmental factors.
[0004] PD is the most common synucleinopathy, and LBs are associated with the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, resulting in PD-associated motor symptoms e.g., bradykinesia, resting tremor, muscle rigidity and postural instability. PD is also characterized by lysosomal and proteasomal impairment, mitochondrial dysfunction, increased iron levels, and neuroinflammation. In contrast with PD, DLB features1#14696011vldementia within the first year of parkinsonism. Additionally, the neuronal loss in PD mostly affects the brainstem and the limbic regions, but in DLB, it predominates in the neocortex. The most prevalent symptoms of DLB include fluctuating cognition, recurrent visual hallucinations, and spontaneous extrapyramidal motor features. MSA is distinguishable from PD and DLB based on its pathological and clinical presentation. MSA features aSyn inclusions in the cytoplasm of oligodendrocytes termed glial cytoplasmic inclusions (GCIs) and selective neurodegeneration in multiple brain areas including substantia nigra, striatum, cerebellum, pontine nuclei, and spinal cord, resulting in parkinsonism, cerebellar ataxia and autonomic failure. Other MSA characteristics are neuroinflammation, microglial activation, astrogliosis, and T-cell infiltration. MSA often progresses rapidly leading to death a few years after symptoms start. Additionally, MSA is currently considered a sporadic disease, without clear genetic contribution to its etiology although some multiplex families exist.
[0005] Examples of other synucleinopathies include pure autonomic failure (PAF) and isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). PAF affects the autonomic nervous system and is characterized by orthostatic hypotension, fixed pulse rate, anhidrosis, erectile dysfunction and constipation without motor features. In PAF, aSyn inclusions are found mostly in autonomic ganglia and nerves of the peripheral nervous system that is associated with the loss of sympathetic ganglia and postganglionic fibers. Some patients with PAF phenotype have progressed into MSA, DLB, and PD, suggesting that PAF could be a prodromal stage of the classical synucleinopathies. In iRBD, neurons in brainstem areas that regulate sleep are lost. iRBD is a common prodromal syndrome in classical synucleinopathies; indeed, more than 80% of iRBD patients eventually develop PD, DLB or MSA.
[0006] As the foregoing examples illustrate, although synucleinopathies all involve misfolded aSyn deposition, they present a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes with multiple overlapping features. From these observations, one hypothesis posits that the pathological accumulation of aSyn in different cell types and brain areas might arise from distinct aSyn strains that could also result in the different neurodegenerative and disease duration patterns that typify each disorder.
[0007] Protein-based therapies, such as antibodies, have been investigated to target different forms and conformational states of aSyn. Genetic studies have identified single nucleotide 2#14696011vlpolymorphisms, mutations, and multiplications of the SNCA gene (hereinafter “SNCA”), which encodes aSyn, that cause or have been associated with increased risk of PD. For example, variations in the SNCA promoter and untranslated region may increase susceptibility to PD by altering transcription factor binding sites and creating or destroying microRNAs target sites, thereby modifying gene expression. Ideally such genetic correlations would aid in diagnosis and treatment. However, investigations into aSyn’s role in PD have sometimes produced conflicting results. Therefore, there remains a need for effective treatments and prophylactics for synucleinopathies.SUMMARY

[0079] “Therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” means an amount of a compound, pharmaceutical agent, or composition that provides a therapeutic benefit to an individual. A “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” is an amount sufficient for a compound to accomplish a stated purpose relative to the absence of the compound (e.g., achieve the effect for which it is administered, treat, prevent or ameliorate a disease or reduce one or more symptoms of a disease or condition). An example of a “therapeutically effective amount” or “effective amount” is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, amelioration, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease. A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A “prophylactically effective amount” of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of an injury, disease, pathology, or condition, or their symptoms. The term “therapeutically effective amount,” as used herein, refers to that amount of the therapeutic agent sufficient to provide a therapeutic benefit to an individual, such as treating, preventing or ameliorating the disease or disorder or symptom thereof, as described above. For example, for the given parameter, a therapeutically effective amount will show an increase or decrease of at least 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 75%, 80%, 90%, or at least 100%. Therapeutic efficacy can also be expressed as “-fold” increase or decrease. For example, a therapeutically effective amount can have at least a 1.2-fold, 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 5-fold, or more effect over a control.
[0080] “Treating” or “treatment” as used herein (and as well-understood in the art) broadly includes any approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results in a subject’s condition, including clinical results. Beneficial or desired clinical results can include, but are not 17#14696011vllimited to, alleviation or amelioration of one or more symptoms or conditions, diminishment of the extent of a disease, stabilizing (i.e., not worsening) the state of disease, prevention of a disease’s transmission or spread, delay or slowing of disease progression, amelioration or palliation of the disease state, diminishment of the reoccurrence of disease, and remission, whether partial or total and whether detectable or undetectable. In other words, “treatment” as used herein includes any cure, amelioration, or prevention of a disease. Treatment may prevent the disease from occurring; inhibit the disease’s spread; relieve the disease’s symptoms, fully or partially remove the disease’s underlying cause, shorten a disease’s duration, or do a combination of these things. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters, including the results of a physical examination, biochemical endpoints, and patient reported outcomes.
[0081] “Treating” and “treatment” as used herein include prophylactic treatment. Treatment methods include administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a compound described herein. “Treat” refers to administering a compound or pharmaceutical composition to an animal in order to effect an alteration or improvement of a disease, disorder, or condition in the animal. The administering step may consist of a single administration or may include a series of administrations. The length of the treatment period depends on a variety of factors, such as the severity of the condition, the age of the patient, the concentration of the compound, the activity of the compositions used in the treatment, or a combination thereof. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage of an agent used for the treatment or prophylaxis may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment or prophylaxis regime. In some instances, chronic administration may be required. For example, the compositions are administered to the subject in an amount and for a duration sufficient to treat the patient.
[0082] Certain compounds of the present disclosure possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical or chiral centers) or double bonds; the enantiomers, racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, stereoisometric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as (R)- or (S)- or, as (D)- or (L)-for amino acids, and individual isomers are encompassed within the scope of the present disclosure. The compounds of the present disclosure do not include those that are known in art to be too unstable to synthesize and / or isolate. The present disclosure is meant to include compounds in 18#14696011vlracemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (R)- and (S)-, or (D)- and (L)-isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents or resolved using conventional techniques. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers.
[0083] As used herein, the term “isomers” refers to compounds having the same number and kind of atoms, and hence the same molecular weight, but differing in respect to the structural arrangement or configuration of the atoms.
[0084] The term “tautomer,” as used herein, refers to one of two or more structural isomers which exist in equilibrium and which are readily converted from one isomeric form to another.
[0085] It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that certain compounds of this disclosure may exist in tautomeric forms, all such tautomeric forms of the compounds being within the scope of the disclosure.
[0086] Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include all stereochemical forms of the structure (i.e., the R and S configurations for each asymmetric center). Therefore, single stereochemical isomers as well as enantiomeric and diastereomeric mixtures of the present compounds are within the scope of the disclosure.
[0087] As used herein, “chirally enriched population” means a plurality of molecules of identical molecular formula, wherein the number or percentage of molecules within the population that contain a particular stereochemical configuration at a particular chiral center is greater than the number or percentage of molecules expected to contain the same particular stereochemical configuration at the same particular chiral center within the population if the particular chiral center were stereorandom. Chirally enriched populations of molecules having multiple chiral centers within each molecule may contain one or more stereorandom chiral centers. In certain embodiments, the molecules are modified oligonucleotides. In certain embodiments, the molecules are compounds comprising modified oligonucleotides.
[0088] Unless otherwise stated, structures depicted herein are also meant to include compounds which differ only in the presence of one or more isotopically enriched atoms. For example, compounds having the present structures except for the replacement of a19#14696011vlhydrogen by a deuterium or tritium, or the replacement of a carbon by13C- or deenriched carbon are within the scope of this disclosure.
[0089] As used herein, “stereorandom chiral center” in the context of a population of molecules of identical molecular formula means a chiral center having a random stereochemical configuration. For example, in a population of molecules comprising a stereorandom chiral center, the number of molecules having the (S) configuration of the stereorandom chiral center may be but is not necessarily the same as the number of molecules having the (R) configuration of the stereorandom chiral center. The stereochemical configuration of a chiral center is considered random when it is the results of a synthetic method that is not designed to control the stereochemical configuration. In certain embodiments, a stereorandom chiral center is a stereorandom phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkage.Certain Embodiments

[0283] A 3' to 5' phosphodiester linkage is the naturally occurring internucleoside linkage of RNA and DNA. In certain embodiments, compounds described herein have one or more modified, i.e. non-naturally occurring, intemucleoside linkages. Certain non-naturally occurring internucleoside linkages may impart desirable properties such as, for example, enhanced cellular uptake, enhanced affinity for target nucleic acids, and increased stability in the presence of nucleases. Representative phosphorus-containing modified intemucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, phosphotriesters, alkylphosphonates (e.g. methylphosphonates), phosphoramidates, and phosphorothioates (“P=S”), and phosphorodithioates (“HS-P=S”). Representative non-phosphorus containing intemucleoside linking groups include, but are not limited to, methylenemethylimino (-CH2-N(CHs)-O-CH2), thiodiester, thionocarbamate (-0- C(=O)(NH)-S-); siloxane (-O-Sifh-O-); and N, N'- dimethylhydrazine (-CH2-N((CHs)- 129#14696011vlN((CHs)-). Methods of preparation of phosphorous-containing and non-phosphorous- containing internucleoside linkages are well known to those skilled in the art. Neutral intemucleoside linkages include, without limitation, phosphotriesters, methylphosphonates, MMI (3'-CH2-N(CH3)-O-5'), amide-3 (3'-CH2-C(=O)-N(H)-5'), amide-4 (3'-CH2-N(H)-C(=O)-5'), formacetal (3'-O-CH2-O-5'), methoxypropyl, and thioformacetal (3'-S-CH2-O-5'). Further neutral intemucleoside linkages include nonionic linkages comprising siloxane (dialkylsiloxane), carboxylate ester, carboxamide, sulfide, sulfonate ester and amides (See, for example: Carbohydrate Modifications in Antisense Research; YS. Sanghvi and P. D. Cook, Eds., ACS Symposium Series 580; Chapters 3 and 4, 40-65). Further neutral intemucleoside linkages include nonionic linkages comprising mixed N, O, S and CH2 component parts.
[0284] In certain embodiments, compounds provided herein comprise at least one modified intemucleoside linkage. A modified intemucleoside linkage may be placed at any position of an oligonucleotide. For double- stranded compounds, a modified intemucleoside linkage may be placed within the sense oligonucleotide, antisense oligonucleotide, or both oligonucleotides of the double- stranded compound.
[0285] In certain embodiments, the intemucleoside linkage modification may occur on every nucleoside of an oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, intemucleoside linkage modifications may occur in an alternating pattern along an oligonucleotide. In certain embodiments, essentially each intemucleoside linking group is a phosphate intemucleoside linkage (P=O). In certain embodiments, each intemucleoside linking group of a modified oligonucleotide is a phosphorothioate (P=S). In certain embodiments, each intemucleoside linking group of a modified oligonucleotide is independently selected from a phosphorothioate and phosphate intemucleoside linkage. In certain embodiments, the pattern of the intemucleoside linkage modification on each oligonucleotide of a double- stranded compound is the same. In certain embodiments, the pattern of the intemucleoside linkage modification on each oligonucleotide of a doublestranded compound is different. In certain embodiments, a double- stranded compound comprises 6-8 modified intemucleoside linkages. In certain embodiments, the 6-8 modified intemucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages or alkylphosphonate intemucleoside linkages. In certain embodiments, the sense oligonucleotide comprises at least two modified intemucleoside linkages at either or both 130#14696011vlthe 5'-end and the 3'-end. In certain such embodiments, the modified internucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages or alkylphosphonate intemucleoside linkages. In certain embodiments, the antisense oligonucleotide comprises at least two modified intemucleoside linkages at either or both the 5'-end and the 3'-end. In certain such embodiments, the modified intemucleoside linkages are phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages or alkylphosphonate intemucleoside linkages.
[0286] In certain embodiments, a double- stranded compound comprises an overhang region.In certain embodiments, a double- stranded compound comprises a phosphorothioate or alkylphosphonate intemucleoside linkage modification in the overhang region. In certain embodiments, a double- stranded compound comprises a phosphorothioate or alkylphosphonate intemucleotide linkage linking the overhang nucleotide with a paired nucleotide that is next to the overhang nucleotide. For instance, there may be at least two phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages between the terminal three nucleosides, in which two of the three nucleosides are overhang nucleosides, and the third is a paired nucleoside next to the overhang nucleoside. These terminal three nucleosides may be at the 3'-end of the antisense oligonucleotide, the 3'-end of the sense oligonucleotide, the 5'- end of the antisense oligonucleotide, or the 5'end of the antisense oligonucleotide.
[0287] In certain embodiments, modified oligonucleotides comprise one or more intemucleoside linkages having chiral centers. Representative chiral intemucleoside linkages include, but are not limited to, alkylphosphonates and phosphorothioates.Modified oligonucleotides comprising intemucleoside linkages having chiral centers can be prepared as populations of modified oligonucleotides comprising stereorandom intemucleoside linkages, or as populations of modified oligonucleotides comprising phosphorothioate linkages in particular stereochemical configurations. In certain embodiments, populations of modified oligonucleotides comprise phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages wherein all of the phosphorothioate intemucleoside linkages are stereorandom. Such modified oligonucleotides can be generated using synthetic methods that result in random selection of the stereochemical configuration of each phosphorothioate linkage. As is well understood by those of skill in the art, each individual phosphorothioate of each individual oligonucleotide molecule has a defined stereoconfiguration. In certain embodiments, populations of modified oligonucleotides are enriched for modified oligonucleotides comprising one or more particular131#14696011vlphosphorothioate internucleoside linkages in a particular, independently selected stereochemical configuration. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 65% of the molecules in the population. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 70% of the molecules in the population. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 80% of the molecules in the population. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 90% of the molecules in the population. In certain embodiments, the particular configuration of the particular phosphorothioate linkage is present in at least 99% of the molecules in the population. Such enriched populations of modified oligonucleotides can be generated using synthetic methods known in the art, e.g., methods described in Oka et al., JACS 125, 8307 (2003), Wan et al. Nuc. Acid. Res. 42, 13456 (2014), and WO 2017 / 015555. In certain embodiments, a population of modified oligonucleotides is enriched for modified oligonucleotides having at least one indicated phosphorothioate in the (Sp) configuration. In certain embodiments, a population of modified oligonucleotides is enriched for modified oligonucleotides having at least one phosphorothioate in the (Rp) configuration.Conjugate Groups

In certain embodiments, conjugate linkers comprise 1-10 linker-nucleosides. In certain embodiments, such linker-nucleosides may be modified or unmodified nucleosides. It is typically desirable for linker-nucleosides to be cleaved from the compound after it reaches a target tissue. Accordingly, linker- nucleosides herein can be linked to one another and to the remainder of the compound through cleavable bonds. Herein, linker-nucleosides are not considered to be part of the oligonucleotide. Accordingly, in embodiments in which a compound comprises an oligonucleotide consisting of a specified number or range of linked nucleosides and / or a specified percent complementarity to a reference nucleic acid and the compound also comprises a conjugate group comprising a conjugate linker comprising linker- nucleosides, those linker-nucleosides are not counted toward the length of the oligonucleotide and are not used in determining the percent complementarity of the oligonucleotide for the reference nucleic acid.
