PROCESSES FOR PREPARING
PHOSPHORODIAMIDATE MORPHOLINO OLIGOMERS
RELATED APPLICATIONS
This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/508,256, filed May 18, 2017, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No.
62/341,049, filed May 24, 2016, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No.
62/340,953, filed May 24, 2016, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/357,134, filed June 30, 2016, and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/357,153, filed June 30, 2016.
The entire contents of the above-referenced provisional patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND
Antisense technology provides a means for modulating the expression of one or more specific gene products, including alternative splice products, and is uniquely useful in a number of therapeutic, diagnostic, and research applications. The principle behind antisense technology is that an antisense compound, e.g., an oligonucleotide, which hybridizes to a target nucleic acid, modulates gene expression activities such as transcription, splicing or translation through any one of a number of antisense mechanisms. The sequence specificity .. of antisense compounds makes them attractive as tools for target validation and gene functionalization, as well as therapeutics to selectively modulate the expression of genes involved in disease.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by a defect in the expression of the protein dystrophin. The gene encoding the protein contains 79 exons spread out over more .. than 2 million nucleotides of DNA. Any exonic mutation that changes the reading frame of the exon, or introduces a stop codon, or is characterized by removal of an entire out of frame exon or exons, or duplications of one or more exons, has the potential to disrupt production of functional dystrophin, resulting in DMD.
Recent clinical trials testing the safety and efficacy of splice switching .. oligonucleotides (SS0s) for the treatment of DMD are based on SSO
technology to induce alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs by steric blockade of the spliceosome (Cirak et at., 2011;
Goemans et at., 2011; Kinali et at., 2009; van Deutekom et at., 2007).
However, despite these successes, the pharmacological options available for treating DMD are limited.
Casimersen is a phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) designed to skip exon 45 of the human dystrophin gene in patients with DMD who are amendable to exon 45 skipping to restore the read frame and produce a functional shorter form of the dystrophin protein.
Although significant progress has been made in the field of antisense technology, there remains a need in the art for methods of preparing phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers with improved antisense or antigene performance.
SUMMARY
Provided herein are processes for preparing phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PM0s). The synthetic processes described herein allow for a scaled-up PM0 synthesis while maintaining overall yield and purity of a synthesized PM0.

As would be understood by the skilled artisan, for example, each indication of "BREAK A" shows a continuation of the illustration of the structural formula at these points. The skilled artisan understands that the same is true for each instance of "BREAK B" in the structural formulas above including Casimersen. None of the illustration breaks, however, are intended to indicate, nor would the skilled artisan understand them to mean, an actual discontinuation of the structural formulas above including Casimersen.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 show representative analytical high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) chromatogram of a synthesized and deprotected casimersen (SRP-4045) crude drug substance (see Example 4).
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 show a representative analytical HPLC chromatogram of a purified casimersen drug substance solution (see Example 5).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Provided herein are processes for preparing a morpholino oligomer. The morpholino oligomer described herein displays stronger affinity for DNA and RNA without compromising sequence selectivity, relative to native or unmodified oligonucleotides. In some embodiments, the morpholino oligomer of the disclosure minimizes or prevents cleavage by RNase H. In some embodiments, the morpholino oligomer of the disclosure does not activate RNase H.
The processes described herein are advantageous in an industrial-scale process and can be applied to preparing quantities of a morpholino oligomer in high yield and scale (e.g., about 1 kg, about 1-10 kg, about 2-10 kg, about 5-20 kg, about 10-20 kg, or about 10-50 kg).
Definitions Listed below are definitions of various terms used to describe this disclosure. 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.
"Base-protected" or "base protection" refers to protection of the base-pairing groups, e.g., purine or pyrimidine bases, on the morpholino subunits with protecting groups suitable to prevent reaction or interference of the base-pairing groups during stepwise oligomer synthesis. An example of a base-protected morpholino subunit is the activated C subunit Compound (C) having a CBZ protecting group on the cytosine amino group depicted below.
An "activated phosphoramidate group" is typically a chlorophosphoramidate group, having substitution at nitrogen which is desired in the eventual phosphorodiamidate linkage in the oligomer. An example is (dimethylamino)chlorophosphoramidate, i.e., ¨0-P(=0)(NMe2)C1.

Processes for Preparing Morphohno Oligomers Synthesis is generally performed, as described herein, on a support-medium. In general a first synthon (e.g. a monomer, such as a morpholino subunit) is first attached to a support-medium, and the oligomer is then synthesized by sequentially coupling subunits to the support-bound synthon. This iterative elongation eventually results in a final oligomeric compound. Suitable support-media can be soluble or insoluble, or may possess variable solubility in different solvents to allow the growing support-bound polymer to be either in or out of solution as desired. Traditional support-media are for the most part insoluble and are routinely placed in reaction vessels while reagents and solvents react with and/or wash the growing chain until the oligomer has reached the target length, after which it is cleaved from the support, and, if necessary, further worked up to produce the final polymeric compound.
More recent approaches have introduced soluble supports including soluble polymer supports to allow precipitating and dissolving the iteratively synthesized product at desired points in the synthesis (Gravert et al., Chem. Rev., 1997, 97,489-510).

Processes for Preparing Morphohno Oligomers Synthesis is generally performed, as described herein, on a support-medium. In general a first synthon (e.g. a monomer, such as a morpholino subunit) is first attached to a support-medium, and the oligomer is then synthesized by sequentially coupling subunits to the support-bound synthon. This iterative elongation eventually results in a final oligomeric compound. Suitable support-media can be soluble or insoluble, or may possess variable solubility in different solvents to allow the growing support-bound polymer to be either in or out of solution as desired. Traditional support-media are for the most part insoluble and are routinely placed in reaction vessels while reagents and solvents react with and/or wash the growing chain until the oligomer has reached the target length, after which it is cleaved from the support, and, if necessary, further worked up to produce the final polymeric compound.
More recent approaches have introduced soluble supports including soluble polymer supports to allow precipitating and dissolving the iteratively synthesized product at desired points in the synthesis (Gravert et al., Chem. Rev., 1997, 97,489-510).
Provided herein are processes for preparing morpholino oligomers).

Oligomers Important properties of morpholino-based subunits include: 1) the ability to be linked in an oligomeric form by stable, uncharged or positively charged backbone linkages; 2) the ability to support a nucleotide base (e.g. adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymidine, uracil, 5-methyl-cytosine and hypoxanthine) such that the polymer formed can hybridize with a complementary-base target nucleic acid, including target RNA; 3) the ability of the oligomer to be actively or passively transported into mammalian cells; and 4) the ability of the oligomer and oligomer:RNA heteroduplex to resist RNAse and RNase H
degradation, respectively.
In some embodiments, the antisense oligomers contain base modifications or substitutions. For example, certain nucleo-bases may be selected to increase the binding affinity of the antisense oligomers described herein. 5-methylcytosine substitutions have been shown to increase nucleic acid duplex stability by 0.6-1.2 C, and may be incorporated into the antisense oligomers described herein. In one embodiment, at least one pyrimidine base of the oligomer comprises a 5-substituted pyrimidine base, wherein the pyrimidine base is selected from the group consisting of cytosine, thymine and uracil. In one embodiment, the 5-substituted pyrimidine base is 5-methylcytosine. In another embodiment, at least one purine base of the oligomer comprises hypoxanthine.
Morpholino-based oligomers (including antisense oligomers) are detailed, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,698,685, 5,217,866, 5,142,047, 5,034,506, 5,166,315, 5,185,444, 5,521,063, 5,506,337, 8,299,206, and 8, 076,476, International Patent Application Publication Nos. WO/2009/064471 and WO/2012/043730, and Summerton et al.
(1997, Ant/sense and Nucleic Acid Drug Development, 7, 187-195), each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
Oligomeric compounds of the disclosure may have asymmetric centers, chiral axes, and chiral planes (as described, for example, in: E. L. Eliel and S. H. When, Stereo-chemistry or Carbon Compounds, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1994, pages 111.9-1190, and March, J. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3d, Ed., Chap. 4, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1985)), and may occur as ra.cemates, racemic mixtures, and as individual diastereomers, with ail possible isomers and mixtures thereof, including optical isomers. Oligomeric compounds of the disclosure herein specifically mentioned, without any indication of its stereo-chemi sty, are intended to represent all possible isomers and mixtures thereof Specifically, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure are prepared, as discussed herein, from activated morpholino subunits including such non-limiting examples such as a compound of Formula (VIII):

wherein R2 is, independently for each compound of Formula (VIII), selected from the group consisting of:

Each of the above-mentioned compounds of Formula (VIII), may be prepared, for example, from the corresponding beta-D-ribofuranosyl as depicted below:

Without being bound by any particular theory, the stereo chemistry of the two chiral carbons is retained under the synthetic conditions such that a number of possible stereo isomers of each morpholino subunit may be produced based on selection of, for example, an alpha-L-ribofuranosyl, alpha-D- ribofuranosyl, beta-L-ribofuranosyl, or beta-D-ribofuranosyl starting material.
For example, in some embodiments, a compound of Formula (VIII) of the disclosure may be of Formula (Villa):

wherein R2 is, independently for each compound of Formula (Villa), selected from the group consisting of:

0 (T), and (PA).
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, incorporation of 10 to compounds of Formula (VIII), for example, into an oligomeric compound of the disclosure may result in numerous possible stereoisomers.
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure comprise one or more phosphorous-containing intersubunits, which create a chiral center at each phosphorus, each of which is designated as either an "Sp" or "Rp"
configuration as understood in the art. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, this chirality creates stereoisomers, which have identical chemical composition but different three-dimensional arrangement of their atoms.
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the configuration of each phosphorous intersubunit linkage occurs randomly during synthesis of, for example, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the synthesis process generates an exponentially large number of stereoisomers of an oligomeric compound of the disclosure because oligomeric compounds of the disclosure are comprised of numerous phosphorous intersubunit linkages ¨ with each phosphorous intersubunit linkage having a random chiral configuration. Specifically, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, each intersubunit linkage of an additional morpholino subunit doubles the number of stereoisomers of the product, so that a conventional preparation of an oligomeric compound of the disclosure is in fact a highly heterogeneous mixtures of 2N
stereoisomers, where N represents the number of phosphorous intersubunit linkages.
Thus, unless otherwise indicated, all such isomers, including diastereomeric and enantiomeric mixtures, and pure enantiomers and diastereomers are included such as, for example, when one or more bonds from one or more stereo center is indicated by "-" or "--"
or an equivalent as would be understood in the art.

ii. Post Coupling Treatments After each subunit solution was drained as described in Table 4, the resin was: 1) washed with DCM; and 2) washed three times with 30% TFE/DCM. If the resin was held for a time period prior to the next coupling cycle, the third TFE/DCM wash was not drained and the resin was retained in said TFE/DCM wash solution. See Table 4.
iii. Activated Subunit Coupling Cycles The coupling cycles were performed as described in Table 4.
iv. Final IPA Washing After the final coupling step was performed as described in Table 4, the resin was washed 8 times with 19.5 L each of IPA, and dried under vacuum at room temperature for about 63.5 hours to a dried weight of 4523 g.
D. Cleavage The above resin bound Casimersen Crude Drug Substance was divided into two lots, each lot was treated as follows. Two 2261.5 g lots of resin were each: 1) stirred with I OL of NMP for 2hrs, then the NMP was drained; 2) washed tree times with I OL each of 30%
TFE/DCM; 3) treated with I OL CYTFA Solution for 15 minutes; and 4) I OL of CYTFA
Solution for 15 minutes to which 130m1 1:1 NEM/DCM was then added and stirred for 2 minutes and drained. The resin was treated three times with I OL each of Neutralization Solution, washed six times with I OL of DCM, and eight times with I OL each of NMP. The resin was treated with a Cleaving Solution of 1530.4g DTT and 2980 DBU in 6.96L NMP for 2 hours to detach the Casimersen Crude Drug Substance from the resin. The Cleaving Solution was drained and retained in a separate vessel. The reactor and resin were washed with 4.97L of NMP which was combined with the Cleaving Solution.

E. Deprotection The combined Cleaving Solution and NMP wash were transferred to a pressure vessel to which was added 39.8L of NH4OH (NH34120) that had been chilled to a temperature of -100 to -25 C in a freezer. The pressure vessel was sealed and heated to 45 C
for 16hrs then allowed to cool to 25 C. This deprotection solution containing the Casimersen crude drug substance was diluted 3:1 with purified water prior to solvent removal. During solvent removal, the deprotection solution was pH adjusted to 3.0 with 2M phosphoric acid, then to pH 8.03 with NH4OH. HPLC: C18 80.93% (Fig. 1) and SCX-10 84.4% (Fig. 2).
Example 5: Purification of Casimersen Crude Drug Substance The deprotection solution from Example 4, part E, containing the Casimersen crude drug substance was loaded onto a column of ToyoPearl Super-Q 650S anion exchange resin (Tosoh Bioscience) and eluted with a gradient of 0-35% B over 17 column volume (Buffer A:
10 mM sodium hydroxide; Buffer B: 1 M sodium chloride in 10 mM sodium hydroxide) and fractions of acceptable purity (C18 and SCX HPLC) were pooled to a purified drug product solution. HPLC: 97.74% (C18; Fig. 3) 94.58% (SCX; Fig. 4).
The purified drug substance solution was desalted and lyophilized to 1477.82 g purified Casimersen drug substance. Yield 63.37%; HPLC: 96.045% (Fig. 5; C18) 96.346%
(Fig. 6; SCX).

Oligomers Important properties of morpholino-based subunits include: 1) the ability to be linked in an oligomeric form by stable, uncharged or positively charged backbone linkages; 2) the ability to support a nucleotide base (e.g. adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymidine, uracil, 5-methyl-cytosine and hypoxanthine) such that the polymer formed can hybridize with a complementary-base target nucleic acid, including target RNA; 3) the ability of the oligomer to be actively or passively transported into mammalian cells; and 4) the ability of the oligomer and oligomer:RNA heteroduplex to resist RNAse and RNase H
degradation, respectively.
In some embodiments, the antisense oligomers contain base modifications or substitutions. For example, certain nucleo-bases may be selected to increase the binding affinity of the antisense oligomers described herein. 5-methylcytosine substitutions have been shown to increase nucleic acid duplex stability by 0.6-1.2 C, and may be incorporated into the antisense oligomers described herein. In one embodiment, at least one pyrimidine base of the oligomer comprises a 5-substituted pyrimidine base, wherein the pyrimidine base is selected from the group consisting of cytosine, thymine and uracil. In one embodiment, the 5-substituted pyrimidine base is 5-methylcytosine. In another embodiment, at least one purine base of the oligomer comprises hypoxanthine.
Morpholino-based oligomers (including antisense oligomers) are detailed, for example, in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,698,685, 5,217,866, 5,142,047, 5,034,506, 5,166,315, 5,185,444, 5,521,063, 5,506,337, 8,299,206, and 8, 076,476, International Patent Application Publication Nos.

Oligomeric compounds of the disclosure may have asymmetric centers, chiral axes, and chiral planes (as described, for example, in: E. L. Eliel and S. H. When, Stereo-chemistry or Carbon Compounds, John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1994, pages 111.9-1190, and March, J. Advanced Organic Chemistry, 3d, Ed., Chap. 4, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1985)), and may occur as ra.cemates, racemic mixtures, and as individual diastereomers, with ail possible isomers and mixtures thereof, including optical isomers. Oligomeric compounds of the disclosure herein specifically mentioned, without any indication of its stereo-chemi sty, are intended to represent all possible isomers and mixtures thereof Specifically, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure are prepared, as discussed herein, from activated morpholino subunits including such non-limiting examples such as a compound of Formula (VIII):

Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, incorporation of 10 to compounds of Formula (VIII), for example, into an oligomeric compound of the disclosure may result in numerous possible stereoisomers.
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure comprise one or more phosphorous-containing intersubunits, which create a chiral center at each phosphorus, each of which is designated as either an "Sp" or "Rp"
configuration as understood in the art. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, this chirality creates stereoisomers, which have identical chemical composition but different three-dimensional arrangement of their atoms.
Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the configuration of each phosphorous intersubunit linkage occurs randomly during synthesis of, for example, oligomeric compounds of the disclosure. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, the synthesis process generates an exponentially large number of stereoisomers of an oligomeric compound of the disclosure because oligomeric compounds of the disclosure are comprised of numerous phosphorous intersubunit linkages ¨ with each phosphorous intersubunit linkage having a random chiral configuration. Specifically, without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, each intersubunit linkage of an additional morpholino subunit doubles the number of stereoisomers of the product, so that a conventional preparation of an oligomeric compound of the disclosure is in fact a highly heterogeneous mixtures of 2N
stereoisomers, where N represents the number of phosphorous intersubunit linkages.
Thus, unless otherwise indicated, all such isomers, including diastereomeric and enantiomeric mixtures, and pure enantiomers and diastereomers are included such as, for example, when one or more bonds from one or more stereo center is indicated by "-" or "--"
or an equivalent as would be understood in the art.
