WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 PYRROLOPYRIDINE DERIVATIVES AS POSITIVE ALLOSTERIC MODULATORS OF THE MUSCARINIC ACETYLCHOLINE RECEPTOR M4 Related Applications [0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/496,806, filed April 18, 2023, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/610,184, filed December 14, 2023, each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Technical Field [0002]The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions, and methods for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with muscarinic acetylcholine receptor dysfunction.
Background [0003]Cholinergic neurotransmission involves the activation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) or the muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) by the binding of the endogenous orthosteric agonist acetylcholine (ACh). Conditions associated with cognitive impairment, such as Alzheimer ’s disease, are accompanied by a reduction of acetylcholine content in the brain. This is believed to be the result of degeneration of cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain, which widely innervate multiple areas of the brain, including the association cortices and hippocampus, which are critically involved in higher processes. Clinical data supports that cholinergic hypofunction contributes to the cognitive deficits of patients suffering from schizophrenia. Efforts to increase acetylcholine levels have focused on increasing levels of choline, the precursor for acetylcholine synthesis, and on blocking acetylcholinesterase (AChE), the enzyme that metabolizes acetylcholine. As a result, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors, which inhibit the hydrolysis of ACh, have been approved in the United States for use in the palliative, but not disease-modifying, treatment of the cognitive deficits in AD patients. [0004]Attempts to augment central cholinergic function through the administration of choline or phosphatidylcholine have not been successful. AChE inhibitors have shown therapeutic efficacy, but have been found to have frequent cholinergic side effects due to peripheral acetylcholine stimulation, including abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These gastrointestinal side effects have been observed in about a third of the patients treated. In addition, some AChE inhibitors, such as tacrine, have also been found to cause — 1 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 significant hepatotoxicity with elevated liver transaminases observed in about 30% of patients. The adverse effects of AChE inhibitors have severely limited their clinical utility. An alternative approach to pharmacologically target cholinergic hypofunction is the activation of mAChRs, which are widely expressed throughout the body. [0005]The mAChRs are members of the family A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and include five subtypes, designated M1-M5. The M1, M3 and M5 subtypes mainly couple to Gq and activate phospholipase C, whereas the M2 and M4 subtypes mainly couple to Gi/o and associated effector systems. These five distinct mAChR subtypes have been identified in the mammalian central nervous system where they are prevalent and differentially expressed. Mi-Ms have varying roles in cognitive, sensory, motor and autonomic functions. Thus, without wishing to be bound by a particular theory, it is believed that selective agonists of mAChR subtypes that regulate processes involved in cognitive function could prove to be superior therapeutics for treatment of psychosis, schizophrenia and related disorders. The muscarinic M4 receptor has been shown to have a major role in cognitive processing and is believed to have a major role in the pathophysiology of psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia. [0006]Evidence suggests that the most prominent adverse effects of AChE inhibitors and other cholinergic agents are mediated by activation of peripheral M2 and M3 mAChRs and include bradycardia, GI distress, excessive salivation, and sweating. In contrast, M4 has been viewed as the most likely subtype for mediating the effects of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor dysfunction in psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia, cognition disorders, and neuropathic pain. Because of this, considerable effort has been focused on developing selective M4 agonists for treatment of these disorders. Unfortunately, these efforts have been largely unsuccessful because of an inability to develop compounds that are highly selective for the mAChR M4. Because of this, mAChR agonists that have been tested in clinical studies induce a range of adverse effects by activation of peripheral mAChRs. To fully understand the physiological roles of individual mAChR subtypes and to further explore the therapeutic utility of mAChR ligands in psychosis, including schizophrenia, cognition disorders and other disorders, it can be important to develop compounds that are highly selective activators of mAChR M4 and other individual mAChR subtypes. [0007]Previous attempts to develop agonists that are highly selective for individual mAChR subtypes have failed because of the high conservation of the orthosteric ACh binding site. To — 2 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 circumvent problems associated with targeting the highly conserved orthosteric ACh binding site, it is believed that developing compounds that act at allosteric sites on mAChRs that are removed from the orthosteric site and are less highly conserved. This approach is proving to be highly successful in developing selective ligands for multiple GPCR subtypes. In the case of mAChRs, a major goal has been to develop allosteric ligands that selectively increase activity of mAChR M4 or other mAChR subtypes. Allosteric activators can include allosteric agonists, that act at a site removed from the orthosteric site to directly activate the receptor in the absence of ACh as well as positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), which do not activate the receptor directly but potentiate activation of the receptor by the endogenous orthosteric agonist ACh. Also, it is possible for a single molecule to have both allosteric potentiator and allosteric agonist activity. [0008]More recently, muscarinic agonists including xanomeline have been shown to be active in animal models with similar profiles to known antipsychotic drugs, but without causing catalepsy (Bymaster et al., Eur. J. Pharmacol. 1998, 356, 109, Bymaster et al., Life Set. 1999, 64, 527; Shannon et al., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 1999, 290, 901; Shannon et al.. Schizophrenia Res. 2000, 42, 249). Further, xanomeline was shown to reduce psychotic behavioral symptoms such as delusions, suspiciousness, vocal outbursts, and hallucinations in Alzheimer ’s disease patients (Bodick et al., Arch. Neurol. 1997, 54, 465), however treatment induced side effects, e.g., gastrointestinal effects, have severely limited the clinical utility of this compound. [0009]Despite advances in muscarinic acetylcholine receptor research, there is still a scarcity of compounds that are potent, efficacious, and selective activators of the M4 mAChR and also effective in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with cholinergic activity and diseases in which the muscarinic M4 receptor is involved.

Detailed Description [0016]Disclosed herein are positive allosteric modulators (i.e. potentiators) of the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 (mAChR M4), methods of making same, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and methods of treating neurological and psychiatric disorders associated with muscarinic acetylcholine receptor dysfunction using same. The compounds include naphthyridine-substituted pyridazine compounds. [0017]The human muscarinic acetylcholine receptor M4 (mAChR M4) is a protein of 4amino acids encoded by the CHRM4 gene. The molecular weight of the unglycosylated protein is about 54 kDa and it is a transmembrane GPCR. As described above, the mAChR M4 is a member of the GPCR Class A family, or the rhodopsin-like GPCRs, which are characterized by structural features similar to rhodopsin such as seven transmembrane segments. The muscarinic acetylcholine receptors have the N-terminus oriented to the extracellular face of the membrane and the C-terminus located on the cytoplasmic face. [0018]Previous attempts to develop agonists that are highly selective for individual mAChR subtypes have failed because of the high conservation of the orthosteric ACh binding site. To circumvent problems associated with targeting the highly conserved orthosteric ACh binding site, it is believed that developing compounds that act at allosteric sites on mAChRs that are removed from the orthosteric site and are less highly-conserved. Without wishing to be bound by — 6 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 a particular theory, the disclosed compounds and products of the disclosed methods are believed to bind to an allosteric site distinct from the orthosteric binding site. 1.

The monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic heterocyclyls are connected to the parent molecular moiety at a non-aromatic ring atom. [0050]The term “hydroxyl ” or “hydroxy, ” as used herein, means an -OH group. [0051]The term “hydroxyalkyl, ” as used herein, means at least one -OH group, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through an alkylene group, as defined herein. [0052]The term “hydroxyfluoroalkyl, ” as used herein, means at least one -OH group, is appended to the parent molecular moiety through a fluoroalkyl group, as defined herein. [0053]Terms such as "alkyl," "cycloalkyl," "alkylene," etc. may be preceded by a designation indicating the number of atoms present in the group in a particular instance (e.g., "C1-4alkyl," "C3-6cycloalkyl," "C1-4alkylene"). These designations are used as generally — 13 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 understood by those skilled in the art. For example, the representation "C" followed by a subscripted number indicates the number of carbon atoms present in the group that follows. Thus, "C3alkyl" is an alkyl group with three carbon atoms (i.e., n-propyl, isopropyl). Where a range is given, as in "C1-4," the members of the group that follows may have any number of carbon atoms falling within the recited range. A "C1-4alkyl," for example, is an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, however arranged (i.e., straight chain or branched). [0054]The terms "parent molecule" or "parent molecular moiety" refer to the entire portion of a molecule to which a substituent is attached, i.e., the remainder of the molecule. [0055]The term “sulfonamide, ” as used herein, means -S(O)2NRZ- or -NRZS(O)-, wherein Rz may be hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocycle, alkenyl, or heteroalkyl. [0056]The term “substituents ” refers to a group “substituted" on a group such as an alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, heteroalkyl, or heterocycle group, at any atom of that group. Any atom can be substituted. [0057]The term “substituted ” refers to a group that may be further substituted with one or more non-hydrogen substituent groups. Substituent groups include, but are not limited to, halogen, =0 (oxo), =S (thioxo), cyano, nitro, fluoroalkyl, alkoxyfluoroalkyl, fluoroalkoxy, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, heterocycle, cycloalkylalkyl, heteroarylalkyl, arylalkyl, hydroxy, hydroxyalkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkylene, aryloxy, phenoxy, benzyloxy, amino, alkylamino, acylamino, aminoalkyl, arylamino, sulfonylamino, sulfinylamino, sulfonyl, alkylsulfonyl, arylsulfonyl, aminosulfonyl, sulfinyl, -COOH, ketone, amide, carbamate, and acyl.

In some embodiments, an aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocycle may be independently unsubstituted or substituted with 1, 2, or substituents. [0058]For compounds described herein, groups and substituents thereof may be selected in accordance with permitted valence of the atoms and the substituents, such that the selections and substitutions result in a stable compound, e.g., which does not spontaneously undergo transformation such as by rearrangement, cyclization, elimination, etc. — 14 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144
[0059]The term “allosteric site” as used herein refers to a ligand binding site that is topographically distinct from the orthosteric binding site. [0060]The term “modulator ” as used herein refers to a molecular entity (e.g., but not limited to, a ligand and a disclosed compound) that modulates the activity of the target receptor protein. [0061]The term “ligand ” as used herein refers to a natural or synthetic molecular entity that is capable of associating or binding to a receptor to form a complex and mediate, prevent or modify a biological effect. Thus, the term “ligand ” encompasses allosteric modulators, inhibitors, activators, agonists, antagonists, natural substrates and analogs of natural substrates. [0062]The terms “natural ligand ” and “endogenous ligand ” as used herein are used interchangeably, and refer to a naturally occurring ligand, found in nature, which binds to a receptor. [0063]The term “orthosteric site” as used herein refers to the primary binding site on a receptor that is recognized by the endogenous ligand or agonist for that receptor. For example, the orthosteric site in the mAChR M4 receptor is the site that acetylcholine binds. [0064]The term “mAChR M4 receptor positive allosteric modulator ” as used herein refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that directly or indirectly augments the activity of the mAChR M4 receptor in the presence or in the absence of acetylcholine, or another agonist, in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. For example, a mAChR Mreceptor positive allosteric modulator can increase the activity of the mAChR M4 receptor in a cell in the presence of extracellular acetylcholine. The cell can be Chinese hamster ovary (CHO- KI) cells transfected with human mAChR M4. The cell can be Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells transfected with rat mAChR M4 receptor. The cell can be Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells transfected with a mammalian mAChR M4. The term “mAChR M4 receptor positive allosteric modulator ” includes a compound that is a “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric potentiator ” or a “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric agonist, ” as well as a compound that has mixed activity comprising pharmacology of both an “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric potentiator ” and an “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric agonist. ” The term “mAChR M4 receptor positive allosteric modulator also includes a compound that is a “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric enhancer. ” [0065]The term “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric potentiator ” as used herein refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that directly or indirectly augments the response produced by the endogenous ligand (such as acetylcholine) when the endogenous ligand binds to — 15 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 the orthosteric site of the mAChR M4 receptor in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. The mAChR M4 receptor allosteric potentiator binds to a site other than the orthosteric site, that is, an allosteric site, and positively augments the response of the receptor to an agonist or the endogenous ligand. In some embodiments, an allosteric potentiator does not induce desensitization of the receptor, activity of a compound as an mAChR M4 receptor allosteric potentiator provides advantages over the use of a pure mAChR M4 receptor orthosteric agonist. Such advantages can include, for example, increased safety margin, higher tolerability, diminished potential for abuse, and reduced toxicity. [0066]The term “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric enhancer ” as used herein refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that directly or indirectly augments the response produced by the endogenous ligand (such as acetylcholine) in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. In some embodiments, the allosteric enhancer increases the affinity of the natural ligand or agonist for the orthosteric site. In some embodiments, an allosteric enhancer increases the agonist efficacy. The mAChR M4 receptor allosteric enhancer binds to a site other than the orthosteric site, that is, an allosteric site, and positively augments the response of the receptor to an agonist or the endogenous ligand. An allosteric enhancer has no effect on the receptor by itself and requires the presence of an agonist or the natural ligand to realize a receptor effect. [0067]The term “mAChR M4 receptor allosteric agonist ” as used herein refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that directly activates the activity of the mAChR M4 receptor in the absence of the endogenous ligand (such as acetylcholine) in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. The mAChR M4 receptor allosteric agonist binds to a site that is distinct from the orthosteric acetylcholine site of the mAChR M4 receptor. Because it does not require the presence of the endogenous ligand, activity of a compound as an mAChR M4 receptor allosteric agonist provides advantages if cholinergic tone at a given synapse is low. [0068]The term “mAChR M4 receptor neutral allosteric ligand ” as used herein refers to any exogenously administered compound or agent that binds to an allosteric site without affecting the binding or function of agonists or the natural ligand at the orthosteric site in an animal, in particular a mammal, for example a human. However, a neutral allosteric ligand can block the action of other allosteric modulators that act via the same site. — 16 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144

[0072]Unsubstituted or substituted rings (i.e., optionally substituted) such as aryl, heteroaryl, etc. are composed of both a ring system and the ring system's optional substituents. Accordingly, the ring system may be defined independently of its substituents, such that redefining only the ring system leaves any previous optional substituents present. For example, a 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl with optional substituents may be further defined by specifying the ring system of the 5- to 12-membered heteroaryl is a 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl (i.e., 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl ring system), in which case the optional substituents of the 5- to 12- membered heteroaryl are still present on the 5- to 6-membered heteroaryl, unless otherwise expressly indicated. [0073]Where heterocyclic and heteroaromatic ring systems are defined to "contain" or as "containing" specified heteroatoms (e.g., 1-3 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of O, N, and S), any ring atoms of the heterocyclic and heteroaromatic ring systems that are not one of the specified heteroatoms are carbon atoms.

[00161]The compound may exist as a stereoisomer wherein asymmetric or chiral centers are present. The stereoisomer is “7?” or “5” depending on the configuration of substituents around the chiral carbon atom. The terms “7?” and “5” used herein are configurations as defined in IUPAC 1974 Recommendations for Section E, Fundamental Stereochemistry, in Pure Appl. Chem., 1976, 45: 13-30. The disclosure contemplates various stereoisomers and mixtures thereof and these are specifically included within the scope of this invention. Stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers, and mixtures of enantiomers or diastereomers. Individual stereoisomers of the compounds may be prepared synthetically from commercially available starting materials, which contain asymmetric or chiral centers or by preparation of racemic mixtures followed by methods of resolution well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art. These methods of resolution are exemplified by (1) attachment of a mixture of enantiomers to a chiral auxiliary, separation of the resulting mixture of diastereomers by recrystallization or chromatography and optional liberation of the optically pure product from the auxiliary as described in Furniss, Hannaford, Smith, and Tatchell, “Vogel's Textbook of Practical Organic — 31 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 Chemistry, ” 5th edition (1989), Longman Scientific & Technical, Essex CM20 2JE, England, or (2) direct separation of the mixture of optical enantiomers on chiral chromatographic columns, or (3) fractional recrystallization methods. [00162]It should be understood that the compound may possess tautomeric forms, as well as geometric isomers, and that these also constitute embodiments of the disclosure. [00163]In the compounds of formula (I), and any subformulas, any "hydrogen" or "H," whether explicitly recited or implicit in the structure, encompasses hydrogen isotopes 1H (protium) and 2H (deuterium). [00164]The present disclosure also includes an isotopically-labeled compound, which is identical to those recited in formula (1), but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds of the invention are hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, sulfur, fluorine, and chlorine, such as, but not limited to 2H, 3H, 13C, 14c, I5N, 180, 17O, 31P, 32P, 35s, 18F, and 36Cl, respectively. Substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium, i.e. 2H, can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements and, hence, may be preferred in some circumstances. The compound may incorporate positron-emitting isotopes for medical imaging and positron-emitting tomography (PET) studies for determining the distribution of receptors. Suitable positron- emitting isotopes that can be incorporated in compounds of formula (I) are nC, 13N, 15O, and 18F. [00165]Isotopically-enriched forms of compounds of formula (I), or any subformulas, may generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the accompanying Examples using an appropriate isotopically-enriched reagent in place of a non-isotopically-enriched reagent. The extent of isotopic enrichment can be characterized as a percent incorporation of a particular isotope at an isotopically-labeled atom (e.g., % deuterium incorporation at a deuterium label). a. Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts [00166]The disclosed compounds may exist as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts or zwitterions of the compounds which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible, suitable for treatment of disorders without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio and effective — 32 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 for their intended use. The salts may be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting an amino group of the compounds with a suitable acid. For example, a compound may be dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as but not limited to methanol and water and treated with at least one equivalent of an acid, like hydrochloric acid.

Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor M4 Activity [00188]In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds potentiate the agonist response (e.g., acetylcholine) of mAChR M4. In some embodiments, the disclosed compounds increase mAChR M4 response to non-maximal concentrations of agonist in the presence of compound compared to the response to agonist in the absence of compound. The potentiation of mAChR M4 activity can be demonstrated by methodology known in the art.

[00193]In vivo efficacy for disclosed compounds can be measured in a number of preclinical rat behavioral models where known, clinically useful antipsychotics display similar positive responses. For example, disclosed compounds may reverse amphetamine-induced hyperlocomotion in male Sprague-Dawley rats at doses ranging from 1 to 100 mg/kg p.o. 3. Pharmaceutical Compositions and Formulations [00194]The disclosed compounds may be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to a subject (such as a patient, which may be a human or non-human). The disclosed compounds may also be provided as formulations, such as spray-dried dispersion formulations. [00195]The pharmaceutical compositions and formulations may include a “therapeutically effective amount ” or a "prophylactically effective amount ” of the agent. A “therapeutically effective amount ” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effective amount of the composition may be determined by a person skilled in the art and may vary according to factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the individual, and the ability of the composition to elicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effective amount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of a compound of the invention (e.g., a compound of formula (I)) are outweighed by the therapeutically beneficial effects. A “prophylactically effective amount ” refers to an amount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desired prophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used in subjects prior to or at an — 42 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 earlier stage of disease, the prophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeutically effective amount. [00196]For example, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of formula (I), may be about 1 mg/kg to about 1000 mg/kg, about 5 mg/kg to about 950 mg/kg, about 10 mg/kg to about 900 mg/kg, about 15 mg/kg to about 850 mg/kg, about 20 mg/kg to about 800 mg/kg, about 25 mg/kg to about 750 mg/kg, about 30 mg/kg to about 700 mg/kg, about 35 mg/kg to about 650 mg/kg, about 40 mg/kg to about 600 mg/kg, about 45 mg/kg to about 550 mg/kg, about 50 mg/kg to about 500 mg/kg, about 55 mg/kg to about 450 mg/kg, about 60 mg/kg to about 400 mg/kg, about 65 mg/kg to about 350 mg/kg, about 70 mg/kg to about 300 mg/kg, about 75 mg/kg to about 250 mg/kg, about 80 mg/kg to about 200 mg/kg, about 85 mg/kg to about 150 mg/kg, and about 90 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. [00197]The pharmaceutical compositions and formulations may include pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, ” as used herein, means a non- toxic, inert solid, semi-solid or liquid fdler, diluent, encapsulating material or formulation auxiliary of any type. Some examples of materials which can serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are sugars such as, but not limited to, lactose, glucose and sucrose; starches such as, but not limited to, corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and its derivatives such as, but not limited to, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanth; malt; gelatin; talc; excipients such as, but not limited to, cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils such as, but not limited to, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols; such as propylene glycol; esters such as, but not limited to, ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffering agents such as, but not limited to, magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol, and phosphate buffer solutions, as well as other non-toxic compatible lubricants such as, but not limited to, sodium lauryl sulfate and magnesium stearate, as well as coloring agents, releasing agents, coating agents, sweetening, flavoring and perfuming agents, preservatives and antioxidants can also be present in the composition, according to the judgment of the formulator. [00198]Thus, the compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be formulated for administration by, for example, solid dosing, eye drop, in a topical oil-based formulation, injection, inhalation (either through the mouth or the nose), implants, or oral, buccal, parenteral, — 43 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 or rectal administration. Techniques and formulations may generally be found in “Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences,” (Meade Publishing Co., Easton, Pa.).

[00199]The route by which the disclosed compounds are administered and the form of the composition will dictate the type of carrier to be used. The composition may be in a variety of forms, suitable, for example, for systemic administration (e.g., oral, rectal, nasal, sublingual, buccal, implants, or parenteral) or topical administration (e.g., dermal, pulmonary, nasal, aural, ocular, liposome delivery systems, or iontophoresis).

[00211]Suitable solvents include water, isotonic saline, ethyl oleate, glycerine, hydroxylated castor oils, alcohols such as ethanol, and phosphate buffer solutions. The amount of solvent(s) in a systemic or topical composition is typically from about 0 to about 100%. [00212]Suitable suspending agents include AVICEL RC-591 (from EMC Corporation of Philadelphia, PA) and sodium alginate.

Suitable surfactants include those disclosed in the C.T.F.A. Cosmetic Ingredient Handbook, 1992, pp.587-592;Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 15th Ed. 1975, pp. 335-337; and McCutcheon's Volume 1, Emulsifiers & Detergents, 1994, North American Edition, pp. 236-239. The amount of surfactant(s) in the systemic or topical composition is typically about 0.1% to about 5%. [00214]Although the amounts of components in the systemic compositions may vary depending on the type of systemic composition prepared, in general, systemic compositions include 0.01% to 50% of an active compound (e.g., a compound of formula (I)) and 50% to 99.99% of one or more carriers. Compositions for parenteral administration typically include 0.1% to 10% of actives and 90% to 99.9% of a carrier including a diluent and a solvent.

Spray-Dried Dispersion Formulations [00235]The disclosed compounds may be formulated as a spray-dried dispersion (SDD) An SDD is a single-phase, amorphous molecular dispersion of a drug in a polymer matrix. It is a solid solution with the compound molecularly “dissolved” in a solid matrix. SDDs are obtained by dissolving drug and a polymer in an organic solvent and then spray-drying the solution. The use of spray drying for pharmaceutical applications can result in amorphous dispersions with increased solubility of Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II (high permeability, low solubility) and class IV (low permeability, low solubility) drugs. Formulation and process conditions are selected so that the solvent quickly evaporates from the droplets, thus allowing insufficient time for phase separation or crystallization. SDDs have demonstrated long- term stability and manufacturability. For example, shelf lives of more than 2 years have been demonstrated with SDDs. Advantages of SDDs include, but are not limited to, enhanced oral bioavailability of poorly water-soluble compounds, delivery using traditional solid dosage forms (e.g., tablets and capsules), a reproducible, controllable and scalable manufacturing process and broad applicability to structurally diverse insoluble compounds with a wide range of physical properties. — 49 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144

In some embodiments, administration of an additional therapeutic agent with a disclosed compound may allow lower doses of the other therapeutic agents and/or administration at less frequent intervals. When used in combination with one or more other active ingredients, the compounds of the present invention and the other active ingredients may be used in lower doses than when each is used singly. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention include those that contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound of Formula (I). The above combinations include — 59 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 combinations of a compound of the present invention not only with one other active compound, but also with two or more other active compounds. [00282]The disclosed compounds can be used as single agents or in combination with one or more other drugs in the treatment, prevention, control, amelioration or reduction of risk of the aforementioned diseases, disorders and conditions for which the compound or the other drugs have utility, where the combination of drugs together are safer or more effective than either drug alone. The other drug(s) can be administered by a route and in an amount commonly used therefor, contemporaneously or sequentially with a disclosed compound. When a disclosed compound is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition in unit dosage form containing such drugs and the disclosed compound may be used. However, the combination therapy can also be administered on overlapping schedules. It is also envisioned that the combination of one or more active ingredients and a disclosed compound can be more efficacious than either as a single agent. Thus, when used in combination with one or more other active ingredients, the disclosed compounds and the other active ingredients can be used in lower doses than when each is used singly. [00283]The pharmaceutical compositions and methods of the present invention can further comprise other therapeutically active compounds as noted herein which are usually applied in the treatment of the above mentioned pathological conditions. [00284]The above combinations include combinations of a disclosed compound not only with one other active compound, but also with two or more other active compounds. Likewise, disclosed compounds can be used in combination with other drugs that are used in the prevention, treatment, control, amelioration, or reduction of risk of the diseases or conditions for which disclosed compounds are useful. Such other drugs can be administered, by a route and in an amount commonly used therefor, contemporaneously or sequentially with a compound of the present invention. When a compound of the present invention is used contemporaneously with one or more other drugs, a pharmaceutical composition containing such other drugs in addition to a disclosed compound is preferred. Accordingly, the pharmaceutical compositions include those that also contain one or more other active ingredients, in addition to a compound of the present invention. [00285]The weight ratio of a disclosed compound to the second active ingredient can be varied and will depend upon the effective dose of each ingredient. Generally, an effective dose of — 60 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 each will be used. Thus, for example, when a compound of the present invention is combined with another agent, the weight ratio of a disclosed compound to the other agent will generally range from about 1000:1 to about 1:1000, preferably about 200:1 to about 1:200. Combinations of a compound of the present invention and other active ingredients will generally also be within the aforementioned range, but in each case, an effective dose of each active ingredient should be used. [00286]In such combinations a disclosed compound and other active agents can be administered separately or in conjunction. In addition, the administration of one element can be prior to, concurrent to, or subsequent to the administration of other agent( s). [00287]Accordingly, the disclosed compounds can be used alone or in combination with other agents which are known to be beneficial in the subject indications or other drugs that affect receptors or enzymes that either increase the efficacy, safety, convenience, or reduce unwanted side effects or toxicity of the disclosed compounds.

Cell Lines Expressing Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptors [00353]Human and rat M4 cDNAs, along with the chimeric G protein Gqi5, were transfected into Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells purchased from the American Type Culture Collection using Lipofectamine2000. The transfected cells were subjected to selection antbiotic treatment to generate stable cell lines; G418 sulfate (I mg/ml) for selecting M4 expressing cells and Hygromycin B (500 ug/mL) for selecting Gqi5 expressing cells. The resulting polyclones were further screened to obtain monoclones of hM4-G qi5 and rM4-G qi5 for compound screening assay. Stable monoclone cells were maintained in Ham ’s F-12 medium containing 10% heat- inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), IX Antibiotic/Antimycotic, 20 mM HEPES, 500 ug/mL G418sulfate, and 200 ug/mL Hygromycin Bin 37 °Chumidified incubators in the presence of 5% CO2. B. Cell-Based Functional Assay of Muscarinic Acetylcholine Receptor Activity [00354]The high throughput assay was employed to measure receptor-induced mobilization of intracellular calcium to determine compound activity. Test compound was added to cells expressing the muscarinic receptors that were loaded with calcium sensitive fluorescent dye. After a -2.5 minute incubation period, a submaximal (EC20) concentration of acetylcholine was added, and the response measured. This kinetic assay allows for simultaneous screening and potency determination of multiple pharmacological modes of action including agonist and potentiator activity. CHO-K1 cells stably expressing muscarinic receptors were plated in growth medium lacking G418 and hygromycin at 15,000 cells/20 uL/well in Greiner 384-well black- walled, tissue culture (TC)-treated, clear-bottom plates (Greiner Bio-One). Cells were incubated overnight at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The next day, calcium assay buffer (Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS), 20 mM HEPES, 2.5 mM Probenecid, 4.16 mM sodium bicarbonate (Sigma- Aldrich, St. Louis, MO)) was prepared to dilute compounds, agonists, and Fluo-4- — 96 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 acetom ethoxy ester (Fluo-4-AM), fluorescent calcium indicator dye. Compounds were serially diluted 1 ;3 into 10 point concentration response curves in DMSO using the Bravo Liquid Handler (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA), transferred to a 384 well daughter plates using an Echo acoustic liquid handler (Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, Indiana), and diluted in assay Buffer to a 2X final concentration. The agonist plates were prepared using acetylcholine (ACh, Sigma- Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) concentrations for the EC20 and ECMAX responses by diluting in assay buffer to a 5X final concentration. The 2X dye solution (2.3 pM) was prepared by mixing a 2.mM Fluo-4-AM stock in DMSO with 10% (w/v) pluronic acid F-127 in a 1:1 ratio in assay buffer. Using a microplate washer (BioTek, Winooski, VT), cells were washed with assay buffer for 3 times to remove medium. After the final wash, 20 pL of assay buffer remained in the cell plates. Immediately, 20 pL of the 2X dye solution (final 1.15 pM) was added to each well of the cell plate using a Multidrop Combi dispenser (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA). After cells were incubated with the dye solutions for 45 min at 37 °C in the presence of 5% CO2, the dye solutions were removed and replaced with assay buffer using a microplate washer, leaving 20 pL of assay buffer in the cell plate. [00355]The prepared compound, agonist, and cell plates were placed inside the Functional Drug Screening System uCell (FDSS uCell, Hamamatsu, Japan) to measure the calcium flux. The triple add protocol was used to measure Ca kinetics; Compound, ACh for EC20, and ACh for EC80 adds in an order. Briefly, after establishment of a fluorescence baseline for 2 seconds (excitation, 480 nm; emission, 530 nm), first add occurred by adding 20 pL of test compound to the cells, and the response was measured for 140 seconds. This is followed by second add; 10 pL (5X) of an EC 20 concentration of ACh agonist was added to the cells, and the response of the cells was measured for 125 seconds. Immediately, the third add occurred by adding 12 ul (5X) of an EC80 concentration of ACh and the response of the cells was measured for 90 seconds. Acetylcholine-mediated maximum response (ECmax) was measured by adding 1 mM ACh as third add in the control wells. DMSO vehicle was added to the control wells in the first add for assessing ACh EC20, EC80, and ECmax responses. Calcium fluorescence was recorded as fold over basal fluorescence and raw data were normalized to the maximal response to ACh agonist. Agonist activity was analyzed as a concentration-dependent increase in calcium mobilization upon compound addition. Positive allosteric modulator activity was analyzed as a concentration- dependent increase in the EC20 acetylcholine response. Antagonist activity was analyzed as a — 97 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 concentration-dependent decrease in the ECs0 acetylcholine response. Concentration-response curves were generated using a four-parameter logistical equation using GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, CA) or the Dotmatics software platform (Woburn, MA). [00356]The above-described assay was also operated in a second mode where an appropriate fixed concentration of the present compounds was added to the cells after establishment of a fluorescence baseline for about 3 seconds, and the response in cells was measured. 140 s later, the appropriate concentration of agonist was added and the calcium response (maximum-local minima response) was measured. The EC50 values for the agonist in the presence of test compound were determined by nonlinear curve fitting. A decrease in the EC50 value of the agonist with increasing concentrations of the present compounds (a leftward shift of the agonist concentration-response curve) is an indication of the degree of muscarinic positive allosteric modulation at a given concentration of the present compound. An increase in the EC50 value of the agonist with increasing concentrations of the present compounds (a rightward shift of the agonist concentration response curve) is an indication of the degree of muscarinic antagonism at a given concentration of the present compound. The second mode also indicates whether the present compounds also affect the maximum response of the muscarinic receptor to agonists. C.

Functional assessment of M4 activator compounds in cellular cAMP assay Cellular cAMP Gi HTRF Assay [00358]Activation of the M4 receptor leads to the inhibition of cAMP production by coupling to Gi/o proteins. To measure the level of cAMP inhibition by M4 allosteric modulators, a Homogeneous Time-Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF®) cAMP assay was employed using CHO cells stably expressing human or rat M4 receptors. The HTRF cAMP assay is a Time-Resolved Resonance Energy Transfer (TR-FRET) competitive immunoassay. Endogenous intracellular cAMP generated by cells competes with Europium cryptate-labeled cAMP (Europium donor, emission 665 nm) for the binding to a cAMP antibody labeled with d2 (d2-acceptor, emission 620 nm). Thus, the fluorescence emission ratio (665 nm/620 nm) is inversely proportional to the cAMP amount in the cells. Compound-mediated M4 activation results in an increase in HTRF ratio (665 nm/620 nm), indicative of a decrease in intracellular cAMP level. To monitor agonist — 100 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 activity, compounds were added to the M4 cells in the presence of an EC80 concentration of forskolin (adenylyl cyclase activator) which induces a submaximal intracellular cAMP level. To assess potentiator activity, compounds were added to the M4 cells with an EC80 concentration of forskolin in the presence of an EC20 concentration of acetylcholine. This functional assay allows determination of the potency and efficacy of compounds directly activating or potentiating the Gi/o-coupled M4 receptor. [00359]Functional agonist and potentiator activities of compounds were determined by measuring cAMP levels in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells stably expressing human or rat M4 muscarinic receptors using an HTRF cAMP Gi/o kit. Cells were maintained in F12 medium containing 10% FBS, 20 mM HEPES, IX Antibiotic/Antimycotic, and G418 (500 ug/ml) in °C humidified incubators in the presence of 5% CO2. The day before assay, the cells were trypsinized and resuspended in plating medium (growth medium without G418). The cells were plated to white, solid, flat-bottomed, 384 well plates at densities of 4,000 and 6,000 cells/uL/well, of human M4and rat M4 cells, respectively. The cell plates were spun at lOOxg for min, then immediately placed in a 37 °C incubator in the presence of 5% CO2 overnight. [00360]The next day, reagents were freshly diluted at a 2X concentration in assay buffer using F12 basal medium or stimulation buffer. All assay buffers contained 500 pM IBMX to block cAMP degradation. Activation of M4 by compounds was examined in cells stimulated with an EC80 concentration of forskolin to induce submaximal intracellular cAMP levels. Forskolin EC80 concentrations were determined from forskolin concentration response curves (CRCs) and ranged from 1.5 to 2.5 pM. Compounds (10 mM) were prepared in 100% DMSO and further serially diluted either 1:3 or 1:5 into a 13-point CRC in DMSO using a Bravo Liquid Handler in a 384 well microplate. [00361]Agonist assay mode was used to assess the abilities of M4 compounds to directly activate M4 receptors in the absence of the agonist, acetylcholine. The 10-point serially diluted compounds, starting 30 pM as a final concentration, were transferred to a compound plate using an Echo plate reformat protocol. 2X assay buffer containing an EC80 concentration of forskolin concentration was added to the compound plate. Vehicle (1% DMSO) was added to the following control wells; baseline cAMP (no forskolin), forskolin max, and forskolin EC80 pl/well of the prepared 2X assay buffer was immediately added to the cell plates using a Bravo 384 well tip liquid handler. The cell plates were immediately spun for 30 seconds at 100 x g and — 101 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 incubated at 37 °C for 10 min with gentle shaking at 50 rpm. An acetylcholine CRC was also performed in the presence of an EC80 concentration of forskolin to determine the concentrations of acetylcholine inducing maximal (ECmax) and submaximal (EC20) cAMP inhibition in order to prepare for the subsequent potentiator mode assay. [00362]In potentiator assay mode, the 10-point serially diluted compounds, starting 1.1 pM as a final concentration, were transferred to a compound plate using an Echo plate reformat protocol. 2X assay buffer containing an EC80 concentration of forskolin and an ECconcentration of acetylcholine was added to the compound plate. Vehicle (1% DMSO) was added to the following: (1) for forskolin controls wells - baseline cAMP (no forskolin), forskolin max, and forskolin EC80, (2) for agonist control wells containing forskolin EC80 - basal (no agonist), and acetylcholine EC20 and ECmax. 10 pl/well of the prepared 2X assay buffer was immediately added to the cell plates using a Bravo 384 well tip liquid handler. The cell plates were immediately spun for 30 seconds at lOOx g and incubated at 37 °C for 10 min with gentle shaking at 50 rpm. During the 10-minute incubation period, cAMP Eu-cryptate donor (20X) and anti-cAMP d2 antibody acceptor (20X) were diluted in lysis/detection buffer in separate tubes. Immediately after the incubation, cells were lysed by sequentially adding 10 pl/well of cAMP Eu-crytate solution and 10 pl/well of anti-cAMP d2 antibody solution. The cell plates were immediately spun for 30 seconds at lOOx g and incubated for 60 minutes at 25 °C with gentle shaking at 50 rpm. Immediately after the detection incubation, TR-FRET signals were measured at two channels, 665 and 620 nm, using an EnVision Plate reader (Perkin Elmer). All emission ratios (665/620) were normalized to % acetylcholine max. Individual CRCs were generated using a four-parameter logistical equation using GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, CA), and ECwas extracted from the fitting, and maximal response (% ACh Max) was determined: top — bottomy = bottom + ؛ -y^LogECSO-A^Htllslope where A is the molar concentration of the compound; bottom and top denote the lower and upper plateaus of the concentration-response curve; HillSlope is the Hill coefficient that describes the steepness of the curve; and EC50 is the molar concentration of compound required to generate a response halfway between the top and bottom. — 102 — WO 2024/220633 PCT/US2024/025144 Table 4.
