Definitions

  • the present invention features processes for preparing compounds useful for treating CFTR mediated diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
  • CFTR is a cAMP/ATP -mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cells types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelia cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue.
  • CFTR is composed of approximately 1480 amino acids that encode a protein made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.
  • CFTR cystic fibrosis
  • a defect in this gene causes mutations in CFTR resulting in cystic fibrosis ("CF"), the most common fatal genetic disease in humans. Cystic fibrosis affects approximately one in every 2,500 infants in the United States. Within the general United States population, up to 10 million people carry a single copy of the defective gene without apparent ill effects. In contrast, individuals with two copies of the CF associated gene suffer from the debilitating and fatal effects of CF, including chronic lung disease.
  • CFTR transports a variety of molecules in addition to anions
  • this role represents one element in an important mechanism of transporting ions and water across the epithelium.
  • the other elements include the epithelial Na + channel, ENaC, Na + /2C17K + co-transporter, Na + -K + -ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K + channels, that are responsible for the uptake of chloride into the cell.
  • the present invention provides processes for preparing CFTR correctors useful in the treatment of CFTR mediated diseases, such as cystic fibrosis.
  • Such compounds include (i?)-l-(2,2-difluorobenzo[d][l,3]dioxol-5-yl)-N-(l-(2,3- dihydroxypropyl)-6-fluoro-2-( 1 -hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)- 1 H-indol-5 - yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (hereinafter "Compound 1”) which has the structure below:

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002] The present invention features processes for preparing compounds useful for treating CFTR mediated diseases such as cystic fibrosis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[003] CFTR is a cAMP/ATP -mediated anion channel that is expressed in a variety of cells types, including absorptive and secretory epithelia cells, where it regulates anion flux across the membrane, as well as the activity of other ion channels and proteins. In epithelia cells, normal functioning of CFTR is critical for the maintenance of electrolyte transport throughout the body, including respiratory and digestive tissue. CFTR is composed of approximately 1480 amino acids that encode a protein made up of a tandem repeat of transmembrane domains, each containing six transmembrane helices and a nucleotide binding domain. The two transmembrane domains are linked by a large, polar, regulatory (R)-domain with multiple phosphorylation sites that regulate channel activity and cellular trafficking.
[004] The gene encoding CFTR has been identified and sequenced (See Gregory, R. J. et al. (1990) Nature 347:382-386; Rich, D. P. et al. (1990) Nature 347:358-362), (Riordan, J. R. et al. (1989) Science 245: 1066-1073). A defect in this gene causes mutations in CFTR resulting in cystic fibrosis ("CF"), the most common fatal genetic disease in humans. Cystic fibrosis affects approximately one in every 2,500 infants in the United States. Within the general United States population, up to 10 million people carry a single copy of the defective gene without apparent ill effects. In contrast, individuals with two copies of the CF associated gene suffer from the debilitating and fatal effects of CF, including chronic lung disease.
[005] In patients with cystic fibrosis, mutations in CFTR endogenously expressed in respiratory epithelia leads to reduced apical anion secretion causing an imbalance in ion and fluid transport. The resulting decrease in anion transport contributes to enhanced mucus accumulation in the lung and the accompanying microbial infections that ultimately cause death in CF patients. In addition to respiratory disease, CF patients typically suffer from
gastrointestinal problems and pancreatic insufficiency that, if left untreated, results in death. In addition, the majority of males with cystic fibrosis are infertile and fertility is decreased among females with cystic fibrosis. In contrast to the severe effects of two copies of the CF associated gene, individuals with a single copy of the CF associated gene exhibit increased resistance to cholera and to dehydration resulting from diarrhea - perhaps explaining the relatively high frequency of the CF gene within the population.
[006] Sequence analysis of the CFTR gene of CF chromosomes has revealed a variety of disease causing mutations (Cutting, G. R. et al. (1990) Nature 346:366-369; Dean, M. et al. (1990) Cell 61 :863:870; and Kerem, B-S. et al. (1989) Science 245: 1073-1080; Kerem, B- S et al. (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:8447-8451). To date, > 1000 disease causing mutations in the CF gene have been identified (http ://www . gene t . sickkids . on. ca/cftr/) . The most prevalent mutation is a deletion of phenylalanine at position 508 of the CFTR amino acid sequence, and is commonly referred to as AF508-CFTR. This mutation occurs in
approximately 70% of the cases of cystic fibrosis and is associated with a severe disease. Other mutations include the Rl 17H and G551D.
[007] The deletion of residue 508 in AF508-CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly. This results in the inability of the mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, the number of channels present in the membrane is far less than observed in cells expressing wild-type CFTR. In addition to impaired trafficking, the mutation results in defective channel gating. Together, the reduced number of channels in the membrane and the defective gating lead to reduced anion transport across epithelia leading to defective ion and fluid transport. (Quinton, P. M. (1990), FASEB J. 4: 2709-2727). Studies have shown, however, that the reduced numbers of AF508-CFTR in the membrane are functional, albeit less than wild-type CFTR. (Dalemans et al. (1991), Nature Lond. 354: 526- 528; Denning et al, supra; Pasyk and Foskett (1995), J. Cell. Biochem. 270: 12347-50). In addition to AF508-CFTR, other disease causing mutations in CFTR that result in defective trafficking, synthesis, and/or channel gating could be up- or down-regulated to alter anion secretion and modify disease progression and/or severity.
[008] Although CFTR transports a variety of molecules in addition to anions, it is clear that this role (the transport of anions) represents one element in an important mechanism of transporting ions and water across the epithelium. The other elements include the epithelial Na+ channel, ENaC, Na+/2C17K+ co-transporter, Na+-K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels, that are responsible for the uptake of chloride into the cell.
[009] These elements work together to achieve directional transport across the epithelium via their selective expression and localization within the cell. Chloride absorption takes place by the coordinated activity of ENaC and CFTR present on the apical membrane and the Na -K -ATPase pump and CI- channels expressed on the basolateral surface of the cell. Secondary active transport of chloride from the luminal side leads to the accumulation of intracellular chloride, which can then passively leave the cell via CI" channels, resulting in a vectorial transport. Arrangement of Na+/2C17K+ co-transporter, Na+-K+-ATPase pump and the basolateral membrane K+ channels on the basolateral surface and CFTR on the luminal side coordinate the secretion of chloride via CFTR on the luminal side. Because water is probably never actively transported itself, its flow across epithelia depends on tiny transepithelial osmotic gradients generated by the bulk flow of sodium and chloride.
[0010] As discussed above, it is believed that the deletion of residue 508 in AF508- CFTR prevents the nascent protein from folding correctly, resulting in the inability of this mutant protein to exit the ER, and traffic to the plasma membrane. As a result, insufficient amounts of the mature protein are present at the plasma membrane and chloride transport within epithelial tissues is significantly reduced. Infact, this cellular phenomenon of defective ER processing of ABC transporters by the ER machinery, has been shown to be the underlying basis not only for CF disease, but for a wide range of other isolated and inherited diseases. The two ways that the ER machinery can malfunction is either by loss of coupling to ER export of the proteins leading to degradation, or by the ER accumulation of these defective/misfolded proteins [Aridor M, et al, Nature Med., 5(7), pp 745- 751 (1999); Shastry, B.S., et al,
Neurochem. International, 43, pp 1-7 (2003); Rutishauser, J., et al., Swiss Med Wkly, 132, pp 211-222 (2002); Morello, JP et al, TIPS, 21, pp. 466- 469 (2000); Brass P., et al, Human Mut., 14, PP- 186-198 (1999)].

[00119] Methods of Preparing Compounds of Formulas I, II, III, and IV
[00120] Compounds of formulas I, II, II, and IV may be prepared by the methods of Schemes 1-3.
[00121] Scheme 1. Compounds of formula I and II.
Figure imgf000038_0001
[00122] a = Pd(0) catalyst; b = acid; c = base; d = hydroxide base; e = acid; f = halogenating agent;
[00123] wherein ring A, Rls m, X, RJ, Hal, q, and n are as defined above.
[00124] In Scheme 1, aryl halide IA is reacted with ester IB in the presence of a transition metal catalyst in a suitable solvent (e.g. toluene) to produce ester IC. In esters IB and IC, X can either be CN or C02R. Treatment of IC with an acid in a suitable solvent (e.g.
dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)) produces I. Reaction of I with the dihalide IID in the presence of base gives the cycloalkylidene HE. Hydro lization of the cyanide or remaining ester group depending on the identity of X gives the carboxylic acid IIF which is halogenated to yield the acid halide II.
[00125] In one embodiment, IA is commercially available. In one embodiment, ring A is a 5 membered dioxyl ring. In one embodiment, Hal in IA is Br. In one embodiment, the reaction of IA and IIB takes place in toluene in the presence of a Pd(0) caystalyst, e.g. Pd(dba)2. In a further embodiment, the reaction takes place in the presence of an alkyl phosphine, e.g. t- Bu3P and phosphate salt, e.g. Na3P04. In another embodiment, the reaction of IA and IIB takes place at about 70 °C. In another embodiment, RJ is Et.
[00126] In one embodiment, the de-esterification of IC to I is done with an inorganic acid. In a further embodiment, the inorganic acid is HC1. The conversion takes place in an appropriate aprotic solvent (e.g. DMSO) at about 75 °C.
[00127] In one embodiment, I is reacted with NaOH and an alkyl dihalide to yield the cycloalkylidene in a suitable solvent (e.g. MTBE). The process is adaptable to several spirocyclic rings by choosing the appropriate alkyl dihalide. For example, a spirocylic butane ring can be produced by reacting I with, for example, l-bromo-3-chloropropane. It has been found that a mixed bromo and chloro dihalide works best on an economic scale as it is believed that the thermodynamics of the reaction are more favorable.
[00128] In one embodiment, HE is hydrolized to the carboxylic acid IIF in the presence of water and a base (e.g. NaOH) in a suitable solvent (e.g. ethanol). Subseqent treatment with an acid such as HC1 yields IIF. In another embodiment, IIF is worked up by recrystallizing it from toluene.
[00129] In one embodiment, the halogenating agent that converts IIF to II is thionyl chloride. In another embodiment, the thionyl chloride is added to IIF in toluene at about 60 °C. In one embodiment, this step directly proceeds the coupling between II and amine III (see below) and is carried out in the same reaction vessel.
[00130] There are several non-limiting advantages to forming II according to Scheme 1 and the embodiments described above and elsewhere in the application. These advantages are apparent even more so when manufacturing II on an economic scale and include the following. The overall reaction requires only 5 steps, which is less than what's been previously reported (i.e. starting from an aryl carboxylic acid, which is reduced to the methyl alcohol, which is converted to a methyl chloride, which is reacted with NaCN). This synthetic route introduces the CN or ester group (i.e. X) without a separate chlorinating reaction. Using ethanol as the cosolvent in hydrolyzing HE to IIF results in a homogeneous reaction mixture making sampling and monitoring the reaction easier. Recrystallizing IIF from toluene eliminates the need for forming a dicyclohexylamine (DCA) salt as previously reported.
[00131] Scheme 2. Compounds of formula III.

Θ
[00133] wherein R2, o, Hal, A , and P are defined as above.
[00134] In one embodiment, in IIIA, R2 is F and is meta to the amine group. In another embodiment, IIIA is brominated with N-bromosuccinimide in a suitable solvent (e.g.
ethylacetate) at about 22 °C. [00135] In another embodiment, IIIB is reacted with epoxide IIIC effecting a ring opening reaction with the amine group of IIIB to form HID. In one embodiment, the protecting group, P, in IIIC is benzyl (Bn). In another embodiment epoxide IIIC is chiral. In one embodiment IIIC is (R) IIIC. In another embodiment, IIIC is (S) IIIC. In one embodiment, the ring opening reaction is carried out in a suitable solvent (e.g. toluene) at about 80 °C. In another embodiment, the ring opening reaction takes place in the presence of a Zn(II) catalyst (e.g. Zn(C104)2). In another embodiment, the conversion from IIIB to HID comprises the ring opening reaction with epoxide IIIC, followed by hydrogenation, and then treatment with an acid to form HID. In a further embodiment, hydrogenation is carried out with H2/Pt(S)/C. In a
Θ
further embodiment, the acid is toluene sulfonic acid, such that A is a tosylate anion.
[00136] In another embodiment, alkyne HIE is coupled with HID in a suitable solvent (e.g. acetonitrile) at about 80 °C. In another embodiment, the coupling reaction takes place in the presence of a Pd(II) catalyst, such as Pd(OAc)2. The initial reaction does not result in ring closure, only replacement of the halide on HID. Ring closure is accomplished through reaction with another Pd(II) catalyst, such as (MeCN)2PdCl2 in a suitable solvent (e.g. acetonitrile). In one embodiment, ring closure takes place at about 80 °C. In one embodiment, R3 in alkyne HIE is -C(CH3)2CH2OBn. In one embodiment, the product from the coupling reaction is not isolated but taken up in acetonitrile and reacted with (MeCN)2PdCl2.
[00137] There are several non-limiting advantages to forming compound III according to Scheme 2 and the embodiments described above and elsewhere in the application. These advantages are apparent even more so when manufacturing III on an economic scale and include the following. The overall number of steps have been reduced compared to what was disclosed previously to just 3 steps. Other advantages include the elimination of
chromatography and by-products from protecting groups. [00138] Scheme 3. Compounds of Formula IV.

[00141] An acid-base reaction between II and III in a suitable solvent (e.g.
dichloromethane (DCM)) yields the protected analog of Compound 1. In one embodiment, the acid halide II is prepared from IIF as depicted in Scheme 1 in the same reaction vessel and is not isolated. In another embodiment, the acid-based reaction is carried out in the presence of a base such as triethylamine (TEA). In one embodiment, the amount of TEA is 2 equivalents relative to II. In one embodiment, after a reaction time of about 4 hours at about 0 °C and warming to room temperature overnight, water is added to the mixture and stirred for an additional 30 minutes. The organic phase is separated and IV is isolated by distilling off the reaction solvent. In one embodiment, IV is collected by silica pad filtration. [00142] In another embodiment, compounds of formula IV may be deprotected to form compounds of formula IVa according to Scheme 4.

[00146] In one embodiment, hydrogen pressurization is 3 Bars. In another
embodiment, the hydrogenation agitation rate is increased to 800 rpm. In another embodiment, after rapid hydrogen uptake subsides, the hydrogenation vessel is heated to about 50 °C for 2 days. In another embodiment, after the 2 days, more catalyst is added and hydrogenation continues for another 4 days. In another embodiment, IV is dissolved in a suitable solvent (e.g. THF).

Such phenotypes include patients exhibiting pancreatic insufficiency or patients diagnosed with idiopathic pancreatitis and congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens, or mild lung disease.
[00166] The exact amount required will vary from subject to subject, depending on the species, age, and general condition of the subject, the severity of the infection, the particular agent, its mode of administration, and the like. The compounds of the invention are preferably formulated in dosage unit form for ease of administration and uniformity of dosage. The expression "dosage unit form" as used herein refers to a physically discrete unit of agent appropriate for the patient to be treated. It will be understood, however, that the total daily usage of the compounds and compositions of the present invention will be decided by the attending physician within the scope of sound medical judgment. The specific effective dose level for any particular patient or organism will depend upon a variety of factors including the disorder being treated and the severity of the disorder; the activity of the specific compound employed; the specific composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the patient; the time of administration, route of administration, and rate of excretion of the specific compound employed; the duration of the treatment; drugs used in combination or coincidental with the specific compound employed, and like factors well known in the medical arts.

The solid dosage forms of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and can also be of a composition that they release the active ingredient(s) only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally, in a delayed manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type may also be employed as fillers in soft and hard- filled gelatin capsules using such excipients as lactose or milk sugar as well as high molecular weight polethylene glycols and the like.

[00198] A reactor was purged with nitrogen and charged with 900 mL of toluene. The solvent was degassed via nitrogen sparge for no less than 16 h. To the reactor was then charged Na3P04 (155.7 g, 949.5 mmol), followed by bis(dibenzylideneacetone) palladium (0) (7.28 g, 12.66 mmol). A 10% w/w solution of tert-butylphosphine in hexanes (51.23 g, 25.32 mmol) was charged over 10 min at 23 °C from a nitrogen purged addition funnel. The mixture was allowed to stir for 50 min, at which time 5-bromo-2,2-difluoro-l,3-benzodioxole (75 g, 316.5 mmol) was added over 1 min. After stirring for an additional 50 min, the mixture was charged with ethyl cyanoacetate (71.6 g, 633.0 mmol) over 5 min followed by water (4.5 mL) in one portion. The mixture was heated to 70 °C over 40 min and analyzed by HPLC every 1 - 2 h for the percent conversion of the reactant to the product. After complete conversion was observed (typically 100% conversion after 5 - 8 h), the mixture was cooled to 20 - 25 °C and filtered through a celite pad. The celite pad was rinsed with toluene (2 X 450 mL) and the combined organics were concentrated to 300 mL under vacuum at 60 - 65 °C. The concentrate was charged with 225mL DMSO and concentrated under vacuum at 70 - 80 °C until active distillation of the solvent ceased.

The mixture was then heated to 75°C over 1 h and analyzed by HPLC every 1 - 2 h for % conversion. When a conversion of > 99% was observed (typically after 5 - 6 h), the reaction was cooled to 20 - 25 °C and extracted with MTBE (2 X 525 mL), with sufficient time to allow for complete phase separation during the extractions. The combined organic extracts were washed with 5% NaCl (2 X 375 mL). The solution was then transferred to equipment appropriate for a 1.5 - 2.5 Torr vacuum distillation that was equipped with a cooled receiver flask. The solution was concentrated under vacuum at < 60°C to remove the solvents. (2,2-Difluoro-l,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-acetonitrile was then distilled from the resulting oil at 125 - 130 °C (oven temperature) and 1.5 - 2.0 Torr.

MTBE
[00202] A stock solution of 50% w/w NaOH was degassed via nitrogen sparge for no less than 16 h. An appropriate amount of MTBE was similarly degassed for several hours. To a reactor purged with nitrogen was charged degassed MTBE (143 mL) followed by (2,2- difluoro- l,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-acetonitrile (40.95 g, 207.7 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (2.25 g, 10.38 mmol). The volume of the mixture was noted and the mixture was degassed via nitrogen sparge for 30 min. Enough degassed MTBE is charged to return the mixture to the original volume prior to degassing. To the stirring mixture at 23.0 °C was charged degassed 50% w/w NaOH (143 mL) over 10 min followed by l-bromo-2-chloroethane (44.7 g, 311.6 mmol) over 30 min. The reaction was analyzed by HPLC in 1 h intervals for % conversion. Before sampling, stirring was stopped and the phases allowed to separate. The top organic phase was sampled for analysis. When a % conversion > 99 % was observed (typically after 2.5 - 3 h), the reaction mixture was cooled to 10 °C and was charged with water (461 mL) at such a rate as to maintain a temperature < 25 °C. The temperature was adjusted to 20 - 25 °C and the phases separated. Note: sufficient time should be allowed for complete phase separation. The aqueous phase was extracted with MTBE (123 mL), and the combined organic phase was washed with 1 N HC1 (163mL) and 5% NaCl (163 mL). The solution of (2,2- difluoro-l,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile in MTBE was concentrated to 164 mL under vacuum at 40 - 50 °C. The solution was charged with ethanol (256 mL) and again concentrated to 164 mL under vacuum at 50 - 60 °C. Ethanol (256 mL) was charged and the mixture concentrated to 164 mL under vacuum at 50 - 60 °C. The resulting mixture was cooled to 20 - 25 °C and diluted with ethanol to 266 mL in preparation for the next step. 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO) 5 7.43 (d, J= 8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (d, J= 1.9 Hz, 1H), 7.30 (dd, J= 8.4, 1.9 Hz, 1H), 1.75 (m, 2H), 1.53 (m, 2H).

[00204] The solution of (2,2-difluoro-l,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile in ethanol from the previous step was charged with 6 N NaOH (277 mL) over 20 min and heated to an internal temperature of 77 - 78 °C over 45 min. The reaction progress was monitored by HPLC after 16 h. Note: the consumption of both (2,2-difluoro-l,3-benzodioxol- 5-yl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile and the primary amide resulting from partial hydrolysis of (2,2- difluoro-l,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-cyclopropanecarbonitrile were monitored. When a % conversion > 99 % was observed (typically 100% conversion after 16 h), the reaction mixture was cooled to 25 °C and charged with ethanol (41 mL) and DCM (164 mL). The solution was cooled to 10 °C and charged with 6 N HC1 (290 mL) at such a rate as to maintain a temperature < 25 °C. After warming to 20 - 25 °C, the phases were allowed to separate. The bottom organic phase was collected and the top aqueous phase was back extracted with DCM (164 mL). Note: the aqueous phase was somewhat cloudy before and after the extraction due to a high concentration of inorganic salts. The organics were combined and concentrated under vacuum to 164 mL. Toluene (328 mL) was charged and the mixture condensed to 164 mL at 70 - 75 °C. The mixture was cooled to 45 °C, charged with MTBE (364 mL) and stirred at 60 °C for 20 min. The solution was cooled to 25 °C and polish filtered to remove residual inorganic salts. MTBE (123 mL) was used to rinse the reactor and the collected solids. The combined organics were transferred to a clean reactor in preparation for the next step.

[00226] Method A [00227] All equivalent and volume descriptors in this part are based on a 25 Og reaction. Magnesium turnings (69.5 g, 2.86 mol, 2.0 equiv) were charged to a 3 L 4-neck reactor and stirred with a magnetic stirrer under nitrogen for 0.5 h. The reactor was immersed in an ice- water bath. A solution of the propargyl chloride (250 g, 1.43 mol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (1.8 L, 7.2 vol) was added slowly to the reactor, with stirring, until an initial exotherm (~10 °C) was observed. The Grignard reagent formation was confirmed by IPC using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Once the exotherm subsided, the remainder of the solution was added slowly, maintaining the batch temperature <15 °C. The addition required ~3.5 h. The resulting dark green mixture was decanted into a 2 L capped bottle.

The vessel was cooled in an ice-water bath such that the batch temperature reached 2 °C. A solution of the propargyl chloride (760 g, 4.35 mol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (4.5 L, 6 vol) was added slowly to the reactor. After 100 mL was added, the addition was stopped and the mixture stirred until a 13 °C exotherm was observed, indicating the Grignard reagent initiation. Once the exotherm subsided, another 500 mL of the propargyl chloride solution was added slowly, maintaining the batch temperature <20 °C. The Grignard reagent formation was confirmed by IPC using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The remainder of the propargyl chloride solution was added slowly, maintaining the batch temperature <20 °C. The addition required ~1.5 h. The resulting dark green solution was stirred for 0.5 h. The Grignard reagent formation was confirmed by IPC using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Neat benzyl chloromethyl ether was charged to the reactor addition funnel and then added dropwise into the reactor, maintaining the batch temperature below 25 °C. The addition required 1.0 h. The reaction mixture was stirred overnight. The aqueous work-up and concentration was carried out using the same procedure and relative amounts of materials as in Method A to give the product as an orange oil.

[00252] ASSAYS
[00253] Assays for Detecting and Measuring AF508-CFTR Correction Properties of Compounds
[00254] Membrane potential optical methods for assaying AF508-CFTR modulation properties of compounds
[00255] The optical membrane potential assay utilized voltage-sensitive FRET sensors described by Gonzalez and Tsien (See, Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1995) "Voltage sensing by fluorescence resonance energy transfer in single cells" Biophys J 69(4): 1272-80, and Gonzalez, J. E. and R. Y. Tsien (1997) "Improved indicators of cell membrane potential that use fluorescence resonance energy transfer" Chem Biol 4(4): 269-77) in combination with instrumentation for measuring fluorescence changes such as the Voltage/Ion Probe Reader (VIPR) (See, Gonzalez, J. E., K. Oades, et al. (1999) "Cell-based assays and instrumentation for screening ion-channel targets" Drug Discov Today 4(9): 431-439).
[00256] These voltage sensitive assays are based on the change in fluorescence resonant energy transfer (FRET) between the membrane-soluble, voltage-sensitive dye, DiSBAC2(3), and a fluorescent phospholipid, CC2-DMPE, which is attached to the outer leaflet of the plasma membrane and acts as a FRET donor. Changes in membrane potential (Vm) cause the negatively charged DiSBAC2(3) to redistribute across the plasma membrane and the amount of energy transfer from CC2-DMPE changes accordingly. The changes in fluorescence emission were monitored using VIPR™ II, which is an integrated liquid handler and fluorescent detector designed to conduct cell-based screens in 96- or 384-well microtiter plates. [00257] I. Identification of Correction Compounds
[00258] To identify small molecules that correct the trafficking defect associated with AF508-CFTR; a single-addition HTS assay format was developed. The cells were incubated in serum-free medium for 16 hrs at 37 °C in the presence or absence (negative control) of test compound. As a positive control, cells plated in 384-well plates were incubated for 16 hrs at 27 °C to "temperature-correct" AF508-CFTR. The cells were subsequently rinsed 3X with Krebs Ringers solution and loaded with the voltage-sensitive dyes. To activate AF508-CFTR, 10 μΜ forskolin and the CFTR potentiator, genistein (20 μΜ), were added along with Cl'-free medium to each well. The addition of Cl'-free medium promoted CI' efflux in response to AF508-CFTR activation and the resulting membrane depolarization was optically monitored using the FRET- based voltage-sensor dyes.
[00259] 2. Identification of Potentiator Compounds
[00260] To identify potentiators of AF508-CFTR, a double-addition HTS assay format was developed. During the first addition, a Cl'-free medium with or without test compound was added to each well. After 22 sec, a second addition of Cl'-free medium containing 2 - 10 μΜ forskolin was added to activate AF508-CFTR. The extracellular CI' concentration following both additions was 28 mM, which promoted CI' efflux in response to AF508-CFTR activation and the resulting membrane depolarization was optically monitored using the FRET-based voltage-sensor dvesJ.

The cells are maintained at 37 °C in 5% C02 and 90 % humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10 % fetal bovine serum, 1 X NEAA, β-ΜΕ, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For all optical assays, the cells were seeded at 30,000/well in 384-well matrigel-coated plates and cultured for 2 hrs at 37 °C before culturing at 27 °C for 24 hrs for the potentiator assay. For the correction assays, the cells are cultured at 27 °C or 37 °C with and without compounds for 16 - 24 hours.
[00264] Electrophysiological Assays for assaying AF508-CFTR modulation properties of compounds
[00265] 1. Ussing Chamber Assay
[00266] Using chamber experiments were performed on polarized epithelial cells expressing AF508-CFTR to further characterize the AF508-CFTR modulators identified in the optical assays. pRjAF508-CFTR epithelial cells grown on Costar Snapwell cell culture inserts were mounted in an Ussing chamber (Physiologic Instruments, Inc., San Diego, CA), and the monolayers were continuously short-circuited using a Voltage-clamp System (Department of Bioengineering, University of Iowa, IA, and, Physiologic Instruments, Inc., San Diego, CA). Transepithelial resistance was measured by applying a 2-mV pulse. Under these conditions, the FRT epithelia demonstrated resistances of 4 ΚΩ/ cm2 or more. The solutions were maintained at 27 °C and bubbled with air. The electrode offset potential and fluid resistance were corrected using a cell-free insert. Under these conditions, the current reflects the flow of CI" through AF508-CFTR expressed in the apical membrane. The Isc was digitally acquired using an MP100A-CE interface and AcqKnowledge software (v3.2.6; BIOPAC Systems, Santa Barbara, CA).
[00267] 2. Identification of Correction Compounds [00268] Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane CI" concentration gradient. To set up this gradient, normal ringer was used on the basolateral membrane, whereas apical NaCl was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI" concentration gradient across the epithelium. All experiments were performed with intact monolayers. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, forskolin (10 μΜ) and the PDE inhibitor, IBMX (100 μΜ), were applied followed by the addition of the CFTR potentiator, genistein (50 μΜ).
[00269] As observed in other cell types, incubation at low temperatures of FRT cells stably expressing AF508-CFTR increases the functional density of CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the activity of correction compounds, the cells were incubated with 10 μΜ of the test compound for 24 hours at 37°C and were subsequently washed 3X prior to recording. The cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc in compound-treated cells was normalized to the 27°C and 37°C controls and expressed as percentage activity. Preincubation of the cells with the correction compound significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-mediated Isc compared to the 37°C controls.
[00270] 3. Identification of Potentiator Compounds
[00271] Typical protocol utilized a basolateral to apical membrane CI" concentration gradient. To set up this gradient, normal ringers was used on the basolateral membrane and was permeabilized with nystatin (360 μg/ml), whereas apical NaCl was replaced by equimolar sodium gluconate (titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH) to give a large CI" concentration gradient across the epithelium. All experiments were performed 30 min after nystatin permeabilization. Forskolin (10 μΜ) and all test compounds were added to both sides of the cell culture inserts. The efficacy of the putative AF508-CFTR potentiators was compared to that of the known potentiator, genistein.

Apical solution (in mM): Same as basolateral solution with NaCl replaced with Na Gluconate (135).
[00273] 5. Cell Culture
[00274] Fisher rat epithelial (FRT) cells expressing AF508-CFTR (FRT AF508-™) werg used for Ussing chamber experiments for the putative AF508-CFTR modulators identified from our optical assays. The cells were cultured on Costar Snapwell cell culture inserts and cultured for five days at 37 °C and 5% C02 in Coon's modified Ham's F-12 medium supplemented with 5% fetal calf serum, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin. Prior to use for characterizing the potentiator activity of compounds, the cells were incubated at 27 °C for 16 - 48 hrs to correct for the AF508-CFTR. To determine the activity of corrections compounds, the cells were incubated at 27 °C or 37 °C with and without the compounds for 24 hours.
[00275] 6. Whole-cell recordings
The macroscopic AF508-CFTR current (IAFSOS) in temperature- and test compound- corrected NIH3T3 cells stably expressing AF508-CFTR were monitored using the perforated- patch, whole-cell recording. Briefly, voltage-clamp recordings of IAFSOS were performed at room temperature using an Axopatch 200B patch-clamp amplifier (Axon Instruments Inc., Foster City, CA). All recordings were acquired at a sampling frequency of 10 kHz and low- pass filtered at 1 kHz. Pipettes had a resistance of 5 - 6 ΜΩ when filled with the intracellular solution. Under these recording conditions, the calculated reversal potential for CI" (Eci) at room temperature was -28 mV. All recordings had a seal resistance > 20 GQ and a series resistance < 15 ΜΩ. Pulse generation, data acquisition, and analysis were performed using a PC equipped with a Digidata 1320 A/D interface in conjunction with Clampex 8 (Axon Instruments Inc.). The bath contained < 250 μΐ of saline and was continuously perifused at a rate of 2 ml/min using a gravity-driven perfusion system.
[00276] 7. Identification of Correction Compounds
[00277] To determine the activity of correction compounds for increasing the density of functional AF508-CFTR in the plasma membrane, we used the above-described perforated- patch-recording techniques to measure the current density following 24-hr treatment with the correction compounds. To fully activate AF508-CFTR, 10 μΜ forskolin and 20 μΜ genistein were added to the cells. Under our recording conditions, the current density following 24-hr incubation at 27°C was higher than that observed following 24-hr incubation at 37 °C. These results are consistent with the known effects of low-temperature incubation on the density of AF508-CFTR in the plasma membrane. To determine the effects of correction compounds on CFTR current density, the cells were incubated with 10 μΜ of the test compound for 24 hours at 37°C and the current density was compared to the 27°C and 37°C controls (% activity). Prior to recording, the cells were washed 3X with extracellular recording medium to remove any remaining test compound. Preincubation with 10 μΜ of correction compounds significantly increased the cAMP- and genistein-dependent current compared to the 37°C controls.
[00278] 8. Identification of Potentiator Compounds
[00279] The ability of AF508-CFTR potentiators to increase the macroscopic AF508- CFTR CI" current (IAFSOS) in NIH3T3 cells stably expressing AF508-CFTR was also investigated using perforated-patch-recording techniques. The potentiators identified from the optical assays evoked a dose-dependent increase in IAFSOS with similar potency and efficacy observed in the optical assays. In all cells examined, the reversal potential before and during potentiator application was around -30 mV, which is the calculated EQ (-28 mV).
[00280] 9. Solutions
Intracellular solution (in mM): Cs-aspartate (90), CsCl (50), MgCl2 (1), HEPES
(10), and 240 μg/ml amphotericin-B (pH adjusted to 7.35 with CsOH).
Extracellular solution (in mM): N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG)-Cl (150),
MgCl2 (2), CaCl2 (2), HEPES (10) (pH adjusted to 7.35 with HC1).
[00281] 10. Cell Culture
[00282] NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for whole- cell recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 °C in 5% C02 and 90 % humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10 % fetal bovine serum, 1 X NEAA, β-ΜΕ, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For whole-cell recordings, 2,500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 °C before use to test the activity of potentiators; and incubated with or without the correction compound at 37 °C for measuring the activity of correctors.
[00283] 11. Single-channel recordings
[00284] The single-channel actdivities of temperature-corrected AF508-CFTR stably expressed in NIH3T3 cells and activities of potentiator compounds were observed using excised inside-out membrane patch. Briefly, voltage-clamp recordings of single-channel activity were performed at room temperature with an Axopatch 200B patch-clamp amplifier (Axon
Instruments Inc.). All recordings were acquired at a sampling frequency of 10 kHz and low- pass filtered at 400 Hz. Patch pipettes were fabricated from Corning Kovar Sealing #7052 glass (World Precision Instruments, Inc., Sarasota, FL) and had a resistance of 5 - 8 ΜΩ when filled with the extracellular solution. The AF508-CFTR was activated after excision, by adding 1 mM Mg-ATP, and 75 nM of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunit (PKA; Promega Corp. Madison, WI). After channel activity stabilized, the patch was perifused using a gravity- driven microperfusion system. The inflow was placed adjacent to the patch, resulting in complete solution exchange within 1 - 2 sec. To maintain AF508-CFTR activity during the rapid perifusion, the nonspecific phosphatase inhibitor F" (10 mM NaF) was added to the bath solution. Under these recording conditions, channel activity remained constant throughout the duration of the patch recording (up to 60 min). Currents produced by positive charge moving from the intra- to extracellular solutions (anions moving in the opposite direction) are shown as positive currents. The pipette potential (Vp) was maintained at 80 mV.
[00285] Channel activity was analyzed from membrane patches containing≤ 2 active channels. The maximum number of simultaneous openings determined the number of active channels during the course of an experiment. To determine the single-channel current amplitude, the data recorded from 120 sec of AF508-CFTR activity was filtered "off-line" at 100 Hz and then used to construct all-point amplitude histograms that were fitted with multigaussian functions using Bio-Patch Analysis software (Bio-Logic Comp. France). The total microscopic current and open probability (P0) were determined from 120 sec of channel activity. The P0 was determined using the Bio-Patch software or from the relationship P0 = I/i(N), where I = mean current, i = single-channel current amplitude, and N = number of active channels in patch.

[00287] 13. Cell Culture
[00288] NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stably expressing AF508-CFTR are used for excised-membrane patch-clamp recordings. The cells are maintained at 37 °C in 5% C02 and 90 % humidity in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 10 % fetal bovine serum, 1 X NEAA, β-ΜΕ, 1 X pen/strep, and 25 mM HEPES in 175 cm2 culture flasks. For single channel recordings, 2,500 - 5,000 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine- coated glass coverslips and cultured for 24 - 48 hrs at 27 °C before use.
[00289] Using the procedures described above, the activity, i.e., EC50s, of Compound 1 has been measured and is shown in Table 11.
