Abstract

The present invention relates to 3,5-diaminotriazole derivatives of formula (I) and pharmaceutical or veterinary compositions comprising such derivatives. It further relates to the compounds of formula (I) for use for treating an ocular disease, preferably diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, neovascular glaucoma, macular oedema or Stargardt's disease.

Description

3,5-DIAMINOTRIAZOLE DERIVATIVES AND USES THEREOF FOR TREATING OCULAR DISEASES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of medicine, in particular to 3,5-diaminotriazole derivatives, and uses thereof in the treatment of ocular diseases. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Angiogenesis is a physiological process involving the formation of new capillary blood vessels from pre-existing micro-vessels. There are a large number of diseases characterized by an exacerbated or impaired angiogenesis and increased inflammation such as eye diseases. Eye diseases (also called herein ocular disease) associated with angiogenesis include, without limitation, corneal graft angiogenesis, neovascular glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, corneal diseases induced by new blood vessels, macular degeneration, pterygium, retinal degeneration, retrolental fibroplasia, granular conjunctivitis, Stargardt’s disease, and the like. The overdevelopment of the blood vessels can often lead to severe damage for the patient. Macular degeneration, for example, impairs central vision and, in acute cases, can lead to blindness. Also, 30% of patients suffering from neovascular glaucoma are forced to undergo enucleation to relieve the pain. In this context, there is an urgent need for the development of new therapeutic approaches to prevent and/or treat highly vascularized and inflammatory eye diseases. In 2012, WO 2012/027289 disclosed aminopyridine- and aminopyrimidine carboxamide derivatives targeting CXCR2 receptors, that may be suitable for the treatment of inflammatory and neoplastic disorders such as angiogenic eye diseases, ocular inflammation, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and corneal neovascularization. A decade later, Wang et al. (Redox Biol., 2022, 56, 102438) reported that selective blockade of CXCL1-CXCL2 activation could be a potential treatment for hypertensive retinopathy. Monickaraj et al. (Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, 2021, 62, 3032) reported on the role of the chemokine CXCL1 in altering the blood-retinal barrier in diabetic retinopathy, and thus as a potential new therapeutic target. In previous studies, the inventors reported the use of urea derivatives as CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptor antagonists for the treatment of macular degeneration (WO 2020/079184). They also reported in WO 2022/219123 that these urea derivatives are effective in treating uveal melanoma by inhibiting the production of ROS, which is also known to modulate angiogenesis and inflammation in neovascular glaucoma (Masuda et al.: Oxid. Med. Cell Longev., Volume 2017; Nita et al.: Oxid. Med. Cell Longev., Volume 2016). There are a variety of targets (ROS species, chemokines receptors…) and others remain to be investigated to develop new therapeutic approaches for the treatment of ocular diseases. Therefore, there is a need for the development of new drugs or new compounds that have a therapeutic effect against eye diseases (or ocular diseases) and at the same time are being safe for the patient. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In this context, the inventors have synthesized and provided novel 3,5-diaminotriazole derivatives of formula (I). They demonstrated a therapeutic interest, particularly for the treatment of ocular diseases, especially those associated with an exacerbated angiogenesis. More specifically, the inventors have shown that the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention have inhibitory properties, such as an inhibitory effect on therapeutic targets associated with ocular diseases. The inventors have further shown that the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention were able to inhibit ocular (retinal) neo-angiogenesis in the zebrafish model.

EXAMPLES Example A: Chemistry General information All the commercially available products from chemical providers were used without purification. Solvents were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. All chemicals were purchased from Aldrich, Fisher or Alfa Aesar. All the chemical reactions were monitored simultaneously by LCMS, HPLC and thin-layer chromatography (TLC, Merck silica gel 60 F254 plates) and visualized both by UV radiation (254 & 365 nm) and by spraying with a relevant staining agent followed by subsequent warming with a heat gun. Column chromatography was performed on a CombiFlash Rf+, TELEDYNE Isco, using prepacked column (CHROMABOND Flash, SiOH 40-63 µm, MACHEREY NAGEL or CHROMABOND Flash, C18ec 40-63 µm, MACHEREY NAGEL or POLYGOPREP 60-30 C18, MACHEREY NAGEL). All NMR spectra (1H, 13C, 19F) were recorded on Bruker Advance Spectrometers (200 or 400 MHz). 1H NMR (200 and 400 MHz), 13C{1H} NMR (50 and 101 MHz) and 19F{1H} (188 and 377 MHz) spectra were obtained with samples dissolved in CDCl3 and DMSO-d6 with the solvent residual signals as internal references: CHCl3 (1H = 7.26 ppm, 13C = 77.16) and DMSO-d6 (1H = 2.50 ppm, 13C = 39.52). Chemical shifts (d) are given in ppm to the nearest 0.01 (1H) or 0.1 ppm (13C). The coupling constants (J) are given in Hertz (Hz). The signals are reported as follows: chemical shift, multiplicity (s = singlet, d = doublet, t = triplet, m = multiplet, dd = doublet of doublets, br s = broad singlet), coupling constants (J) and integration. Dye syntheses were performed in a Branson 5510 ultrasound bath. Mass spectra (ESI-MS) were recorded on a ThermoFisher LCQ advantage ion trap mass spectrometer hyphenated with an Agilent 1100 HPLC or an Agilent iQ single quadrupole mass spectrometer hyphenated with an agilent 1260 infinity HPLC. HRMS was carried out on a Thermo Q-exactive Focus mass spectrometer hyphenated to Thermo Vanquish UHPLC system including degasser, binary pump, autosampler and multiwavelength detector. Separation was done on a Thermo scientific Hypersil GOLD (150mm x 2.1mm, 1.9 µm) at 0.2 ml/min. Gradient starts at 90/10 water (0.1% formic acid)/ acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) to 98% acetonitrile (0.1% formic acid) in 15 minutes, and then kept for two minutes. Mass spectrometry was used in Electrospray ionization in switch mode (alternate positive/negative scan) using the following parameters: spray voltage was 3.7kV (pos mode) and 2.7kV (neg mode); capillary temperature: 320 °C; sheath gas: 30 a.u.; Auxiliary gas: 15 a.u.; probe heater temperature: 350 °C. Melting points were achieved over system Kofler type WME Heizbank nr.7563 (44-266 °C). The purity of compounds was further assayed by HPLC analysis on a JASCO PU-2089 apparatus with Supelco analytical column Ascentis Express C18, 100mm x 46mm 5µM. Eluent A: water with 1‰ formic acid, Eluent B: CH3CN with 1‰ formic acid. Four different methods were used which are described as follows: Method 1: 100% A over 2 min, 100% A to 60% A over 5 min, 60% A for 3 min then from 60% A to 100% A over 1 min (11 min in total). Method 2: 100% A over 2 min, 100% A to 60% A over 8 min, 60% A for 4 min then from 60% A to 100% A over 1 min (15 min in total)).

Material and Methods Cell culture ARPE-19 (ATCC CRL-2302) and TIME (ATCC CRL-4025) endothelial cells were purchased from the American Tissue Culture Collection. ARPE-19 cells were cultured in DMEM:F12 medium and 10% FBS. TIME cells were cultured in Vascular Cell Basal Medium (ATCC® PCS-100-030) and 6% FBS. Cell viability (XTT assay) ARPE-19 cells were incubated in a 96-well plate with different effectors for 48 hours. Fifty microliters of sodium 3′-[1-phenylaminocarbonyl)-3,4-tetrazolium]-bis(4-methoxy-6-nitro) benzene sulfonic acid hydrate (XTT) reagent was added to each well. The test is based on the cleavage of the yellow tetrazolium salt XTT to form an orange formazan dye by metabolically active cells. This bio-reduction occurs in viable cells only and is associated with NAD(P)H production through glycolysis. Therefore, the amount of formazan dye measured at 490 nm, correlates directly with the number of metabolically active cells reflecting cell proliferation, viability, and cytotoxicity. Each assay was performed in quadruplicate. ROS labeling ARPE-19 cells were treated with MCK34930 minutes then with 200 µM H2O2 for 2 h.10 µM DCF-DA (2′,7′-Dichlorofluorescin diacetate) were added on cell media for 30 min. Cells were rinsed then detached (trypsin) and resuspended in PBS 0.5% BSA and 2 mM EDTA. The cells are analyzed by cytometry (ROS labeled with DCFDA-FITC). Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) experiments One microgram of total RNA was used for the reverse transcription, using the QuantiTect Reverse Transcription kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany), with blend of oligo (dT) and random primers to prime first-strand synthesis. SYBR master mix plus (Eurogentec) was used for qPCR. The mRNA level was normalized to 36B4 mRNA Immunoblotting Cells were lysed in buffer containing 3% SDS, 10% glycerol and 0.825 mM Na2HPO4. 30 to 50 μg of proteins separated on 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred onto a PVDF membrane and then exposed to the appropriate antibodies. Proteins were visualized with the ECL system using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse antibodies. Vessels formation assays 300 µL of Matrigel Matrix were coated in 24‐well plates and put 1 h a 37 °C. Then Time cells were plated (300000 cells/well). Plates were then incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 for 24 hours. Representative images were taken with the Evos XL Core Cell Imaging System at low magnification (4X). Endothelial cells proliferation TIME cells were plated in 12-well plates (25 000 cells/well) in 0.5% SVF media and then stimulated with 100 ng/mL CXCL8 or CXCL7 for 72 h. Cell proliferation is assessed by cell count. The results are expressed as % of day 0 relative to the condition tested. LPS stimulated whole blood Human peripheral volunteers were obtained from healthy donors with informed consent following the Declaration of Helsinki according to recommendations of an independent scientific review board. The project has been validated by The Etablissement Français du Sang, the French national agency for blood collection (protocol 7952NQ). Blood samples were collected using ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid–containing tubes. Whole blood will be removed from a single donor (K3-EDTA) and diluted 1:5 with RPMI 1640. Within 30 minutes of sampling, blood will be incubated with 5 or 10 µM MCK349 for 1 h prior to 10ng/ml LPS stimulation for 18h. Blood is centrifuged to recover plasma and cytokines are analyzed by multiplex ELISA (Meso Scale Discovery). ARPE-19 stimulation to mimic diabetic retinopathy in vitro ARPE-19 cells were cultured in hyperglycaemic conditions (D-glucose, 25 mmol/l) for 16 days at 37°C under 5% CO2 in medium (DMEM/F12) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin. On day 16, cells were pre-treated with MCK349. On day 17, cells were washed and treated with MCK349 and cytokines (10ng/ml IL1ß, 25ng/ml VEGF and 25ng/ml TNF ^^) for 24 h. Cytokines are analyzed by multiplex ELISA (Meso Scale Discovery) on the supernatant. Cells were recovered to analyze the mRNA level of different markers by qPCR. Multiplex ELISA (Meso Scale Discovery) Cytokines from plasma (whole blood) or supernatant (ARPE-19 cells) were analyzed by multiplex ELISA. A multiplex ELISA was designed from U-PLEX Biomarker Group 1 (hu) Assays (K15069L-1). The protocol performed follows the instructions of the supplier. Zebrafish metastatic tumor model All animal experiments were approved by the Experimental Animal Ethical Committee. Transgenic zebrafish embryos (fli: EGFP, blood vessels marked in GFP) were raised at 28°C under standard experimental conditions. Zebrafish embryos at the age of 24 hpf were incubated in aquarium water containing 0.2 mmol/L 1-phenyl-2-thio-urea (PTU, Sigma). At 48-hpf, zebrafish embryos were placed for 72 h in normoxia (Nx) or hypoxia 5% oxygen (Nx), in the presence of treatment. Retinal neo-angiogenesis was analyzed by fluorescent confocal microscope and quantified by ImageJ. Laser induced choroidal neovascularization and vascular leakage in mice Laser photocoagulation (shoot retina with laser beam (50 μm, 0.1s, and 250~300 mW or any other parameters reasonable) for 4 spots avoiding blood vessels) were performed binocularly on each animal at Day 1 on male C57 mice (8 mice per group). Vehicle and MCK349 (52 µg/ml) were delivered by binocular intravitreal injection (2 µl) four times in total. Once on Day 1 (right after modeling), Day 4, Day 7 and Day 11. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) was performed once on modeling day right after laser photocoagulation and once on Day 9 and Day 15. CNV volume of each lesion will be measured. Fundus Fluorescein Angiography (FFA) was conducted once on Day 9 and Day 15. The angiograms will be graded as follows: Grade 0, no bright hyperfluorescence; Grade 1, hyperfluorescence without leakage; Grade 2a, hyperfluorescence and late leakage; and Grade 2b, bright hyperfluorescence and late leakage beyond treated areas. Statistical analysis All data are expressed as the mean ± the standard error (SD).

A), ii) inhibit reactive oxygen species (ROS, Table 1. B-C and Figure 1A), iii) inhibit CXCR2 and its signaling: decrease of CXCL1 transcription (Table 1. D and Figure 1B) and inhibition of ERK (p-ERK) activation after stimulation by CXCL8 (Table 1. E and Figure 1C). The inventors also demonstrated, that the compound MCK349 is able to inhibit angiogenesis in vitro by inhibiting vessel formation on matrigel (Figure 1D) and by inhibiting endothelial cell proliferation induced by CXCL8 (Figure 1E) and CXCL7 (Figure 1F). They also demonstrated that MCK342 and MCK349 were able to inhibit inflammation. More particularly, they have shown that MCK342 and MCK349 were able to inhibit pro- inflammatory cytokines (CXCL8, IL2, IL1b, IL4, IL6, IL5, INFg, IL10) induced by LPS stimulation in whole blood (Figure 2) and inhibit the expression (mRNA, Figure 3) and secretion (Figure 4) of pro-angiogenic and/or pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1b, CXCL8, MMP9, VEGFC, CXCL1, IL6, TNFa, TGFb, IL33, IL13, IL12p70, INFg, IL4, IL10, IL6, IL5, IL33) in diabetic retinopathy model in vitro. The inventors have further developed a model of retinal neoangiogenesis in zebrafish (fluorescent blood vessels, in white in the Figure 5A) induced by hypoxia. They demonstrated that the compounds MCK263, MCK342, MCK344, and MCK349 were able to inhibit ocular neoangiogenesis in this in vivo model (Figure 5). They also showed that substituted compounds comprising at least one substituent R2 as defined herein exhibit an improved efficacy compared to unsubstituted compounds (n = 0), for inhibiting the activation of p-ERK induced by CXCL8 (Figure 6), for inhibiting of ROS (Figure 7), and for inhibiting the expression of CXCL1 (Figure 8). In addition, in a laser-induced Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) model in mice, MCK349 (intravitreal treatment) inhibits vascular leakage (Figure 9A and B) and neovascularization (Figure 9C).
