Definitions

  • Acute respiratory syndromes such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are lung ailments charaterized by widespread inflammation in the lungs. The onset of these diseases can be triggered by direct insult to the lung tissue (e.g., an inhalation injury, a major chest injury), but can also be caused by an injectious agent such as a viral infection.
  • ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome
  • Patients suffering from an acute respiratory syndrome can be treated by adjusting body positioning, managing fluid intake, sedation, and ventilator support. Each of these treatments are aimed to reduce the symptoms experienced by the patient, but they do not directly target an underlying cause nor do they directly mitigate disease progression. Thus, there remains an unmet need in the art for treatment of acute respiratory syndromes.

The onset of these diseases can be triggered by direct insult to the lung tissue (e.g., an inhalation injury, a major chest injury), but can also be caused by an injectious agent such as a viral infection. Patients suffering from an acute respiratory syndrome can be treated by adjusting body positioning, managing fluid intake, sedation, and ventilator support. Each of these treatments are aimed to reduce the symptoms experienced by the patient, but they do not directly target an underlying cause nor do they directly mitigate disease progression. Thus, there remains an unmet need in the art for treatment of acute respiratory syndromes. [0005] Although modulators of plasma kallikrein activity have also been previously disclosed (see, for example, WO2008/016883, and WO2011/075684), their potential utility in the treatment or amelioration of an acute respiratory syndrome has not been previously described. [0006] The present disclosures addresses these unmet needs and provides related advantages as well.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0013] NOT APPLICABLE DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION I. General [0014] As described herein the present inventors have discovered that plasma kallikrein inhibitors, specifically, compounds of Formula I, Formula II, and prodrugs thereof effectively treat viral infections (including coronavirus infections), non-cardiogenic causes of pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory syndromes. Without being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that these compounds (or prodrugs thereof) are surprisingly effective at reducing, limiting, or eliminating pulmonary vascular leakage, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), dysregulated coagulation, and/or excessive clotting, which can manifest in the above referenced conditions. Additionally, without being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that the compounds/prodrugs described herein are useful in the treatment of certain viral infections as well as non-cardiogenic causes of pulmonary edema, and acute respiratory syndromes precipitated by viral infections through the blocking of viral infective mechanisms. [0015] In a similar manner, the present inventors have discovered that subjects suffering from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) can also benefit from the administration of plasma kallikrein inhibitors. SIRS can be viewed as having a similar pathophysiology as certain acute respiratory syndromes (e.g., ARDS) that manifest at other organs in the body. Subjects suffering from SIRS typically experience a hyper immune response leading to undesirable vascular leakage, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), dysregulated coagulation, excessive clotting, shock, and/or other deleterious organ consequences (e.g., renal failure). Accordingly, without being bound to any particular theory, it is believed that the compounds/prodrugs described herein can effectively reduce, limit, or eliminate the harmful effects of SIRS, and/or in the case of viral precipitations of SIRS, block of viral infective [0016] Moreover, despite various classes of plasma kallikrein inhibitors being known, each of these classes do not operate in the same manner. For example, the currently claimed compounds surprisingly do not change blood pressure or heartbeat, suggesting that the levels of angiotensin, or the activites of angiotensin converting enzymes (ACE-1 and ACE-2) are not significantly altered. See, Example 3. Comparatively, other classes of plasma kallikrein inhibitors have been shown to increase heartbeat (Haegarda, Package Insert, FDA, 2020.) A recognized consequence of ARDS is pulmonary hypertension. Thus, the present inventors have unexpectedly discovered that the current class of plasma kallikrein inhibitors are advantageously positioned to be useful in the treatment of ARDS without deleterious side effects that may worsen a patient’s condition. [0017] Plasma kallikrein, inhibited by the currently claimed compounds, is part of the Kinin- Kallikrein System (KKS). The KKS system is interconnected to the Contact Activation System (CAS) in a number of ways including Factor XII. Without being bound to any particular theory, kallikrein inhibition with the described compounds is expected to not only reduce bradykinin levels via the KKS pathway, but also have an indirect impact on the components of the CAS system. A singular effect via the KKS pathway and a synergistic effect via the interconnected KKS and CAS pathways, separately or together, provide new pharmacological methods for the treatment of ARDS by kallikrein inhibition. II. Definitions [0018] Unless otherwise stated the following terms used in the specification and claims have the meanings given below. [0019] The term "alkyl", by itself or as part of another substituent, means, unless otherwise stated, a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon radical, having the number of carbon atoms designated (i.e. C1-8 means one to eight carbons). Examples of alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, n-pentyl, n-hexyl, n-heptyl, n- octyl, and the like. For each of the definitions herein (e.g., alkyl, alkoxy, alkylamino, alkylthio, alkylene, haloalkyl), when a prefix is not included to indicate the number of main chain carbon atoms in an alkyl portion, the radical or portion thereof will have 12 or fewer main chain carbon atoms. [0020] The term "alkylene" by itself or as part of another substituent means a divalent radical derived from an alkane, as exemplified by -CH2CH2CH2CH2-. Typically, an alkyl (or alkylene) group will have from 1 to 24 carbon atoms, with those groups having 10 or fewer carbon atoms being preferred in the present invention. A "lower alkyl" or "lower alkylene" is a shorter chain alkyl or alkylene group, generally having four or fewer carbon atoms. [0021] The term "cycloalkyl" refers to hydrocarbon rings having the indicated number of ring atoms (e.g., C3-6cycloalkyl) and being fully saturated or having no more than one double bond between ring vertices. One or two C atoms may optionally be replaced by a carbonyl. "Cycloalkyl" is also meant to refer to bicyclic and polycyclic hydrocarbon rings such as, for example, bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, etc. When a prefix is not included to indicate the number of ring carbon atoms in a cycloalkyl, the radical or portion thereof will have 8 or fewer ring carbon atoms. [0022] The terms "alkoxy," "alkylamino" and "alkylthio" (or thioalkoxy) are used in their conventional sense, and refer to those alkyl groups attached to the remainder of the molecule via an oxygen atom, an amino group, or a sulfur atom, respectively. Additionally, for dialkylamino groups, the alkyl portions can be the same or different and can also be combined to form a 3-7 membered ring with the nitrogen atom to which each is attached. Accordingly, a group represented as -NRaRb is meant to include piperidinyl, pyrrolidinyl, morpholinyl, azetidinyl and the like. [0023] The terms "halo" or "halogen," by themselves or as part of another substituent, mean, unless otherwise stated, a fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine atom. Additionally, terms such as "haloalkyl," are meant to include monohaloalkyl and polyhaloalkyl. For example, the term "C1-4 haloalkyl" is mean to include trifluoromethyl, 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl, 4-chlorobutyl, 3- bromopropyl, and the like. [0024] The term "aryl" means a monovalent monocyclic, bicyclic or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon radical of 5 to 14 ring atoms which is unsubstituted or substituted independently with one to four substituents, preferably one, two, or three substituents selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-alkyl, halo, cyano, hydroxy, alkoxy, amino, acylamino, mono-alkylamino, di-alkylamino, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, heteroalkyl, COR (where R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkyl-alkyl cut, phenyl or phenylalkyl, aryl or arylalkyl), -(CR’R”)n-COOR (where n is an integer from 0 to 5, R’ and R” are independently hydrogen or alkyl, and R is hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl cut, phenyl or phenylalkyl aryl or arylalkyl) or–(CR’R”)n-CONRaRb (where n is an integer from 0 to 5, R’ and R” are independently hydrogen or alkyl, and Ra and Rb are, independently of each other, hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, phenyl or phenylalkyl, aryl or arylalkyl). More specifically the term aryl includes, but is not limited to, phenyl, biphenyl, 1-naphthyl, and 2-naphthyl, and the substituted forms thereof. Similarly, the term “heteroaryl” refers to those aryl groups wherein one to five heteroatoms or heteroatom functional groups have replaced a ring carbon, while retaining aromatic properties, e.g., pyridyl, quinolinyl, quinazolinyl, thienyl, and the like. The heteroatoms are selected from N, O, and S, wherein the nitrogen and sulfur atoms are optionally oxidized, and the nitrogen atom(s) are optionally quaternized. A heteroaryl group can be attached to the remainder of the molecule through a heteroatom. Non-limiting examples of aryl groups include phenyl, naphthyl and biphenyl, while non-limiting examples of heteroaryl groups include pyridyl, pyridazinyl, pyrazinyl, pyrimindinyl, triazinyl, quinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, quinazolinyl, cinnolinyl, phthalaziniyl, benzotriazinyl, purinyl, benzimidazolyl, benzopyrazolyl, benzotriazolyl, benzisoxazolyl, isobenzofuryl, isoindolyl, indolizinyl, benzotriazinyl, thienopyridinyl, thienopyrimidinyl, pyrazolopyrimidinyl, imidazopyridines, benzothiaxolyl, benzofuranyl, benzothienyl, indolyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, isothiazolyl, pyrazolyl, indazolyl, pteridinyl, imidazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, oxazolyl, isoxazolyl, thiadiazolyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, furyl, thienyl and the like. For brevity, the term aryl, when used in combination with other radicals (e.g., aryloxy, arylalkyl) is meant to include both aryl groups and heteroaryl groups as described above. [0025] Substituents for the aryl groups are varied and are generally selected from: -halogen, - OR’, -OC(O)R’, -NR’R”, -SR’, -R’, -CN, -NO2, -CO2R’, -CONR’R”, -C(O)R’, -OC(O)NR’R”, - NR”C(O)R’, -NR”C(O)2R’, ,-NR’-C(O)NR”R”’, -NH-C(NH2)=NH, -NR’C(NH2)=NH, -NH- C(NH2)=NR’, -S(O)R’, -S(O)2R’, -S(O)2NR’R”, -NR’S(O)2R”, -N3, perfluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, and perfluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on the aromatic ring system; and where R’, R” and R”’ are independently selected from hydrogen, C1-8 alkyl, C3-6 cycloalkyl, C2-8 alkenyl, C2-8 alkynyl, unsubstituted aryl and heteroaryl, (unsubstituted aryl)-C1-4 alkyl, and unsubstituted aryloxy-C1-4 alkyl. [0026] Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -T-C(O)-(CH2)q-U-, wherein T and U are independently -NH-, -O-, -CH2- or a single bond, and q is an integer of from 0 to 2. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -A-(CH2)r-B-, wherein A and B are independently -CH2-, -O-, -NH-, -S-, -S(O)-, -S(O)2-, -S(O)2NR’- or a single bond, and r is an integer of from 1 to 3. One of the single bonds of the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -(CH2)s-W- (CH2)t-, where s and t are independently integers of from 0 to 3, and W is -O-, -NR’-, -S-, -S(O)-, -S(O)2-, or -S(O)2NR’-. The substituent R’ in -NR’- and -S(O)2NR’- is selected from hydrogen or unsubstituted C1-6 alkyl.

Pharmaceutical Compositions [0129] The compounds of Formula I, Formula II, and prodrugs provided herein can be administered as compositions which will typically contain a pharmaceutical carrier or diluent. [0130] In general, pharmaceutical compositions are prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing the active ingredient into association with a liquid carrier or a finely divided solid carrier or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired formulation. In the pharmaceutical composition, the active compound is included in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or condition of diseases. [0131] The pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in a form suitable for oral use, for example, as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions and self emulsifications as described in U.S. Patent Application 2002-0012680, hard or soft capsules, syrups, elixirs, solutions, buccal patch, oral gel, chewing gum, chewable tablets, effervescent powder and effervescent tablets. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more agents selected from the group consisting of sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, antioxidants and preserving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. Tablets contain the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets . These excipients may be for example, inert diluents, such as cellulose, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonate, glucose, mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, for example, corn starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, for example PVP, cellulose, PEG, starch, gelatin or acacia, and lubricating agents, for example magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated, enterically or otherwise, by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. In some embodiments, the tablets may also be coated by the techniques described in the U.S. Pat. Nos.4,256,108; 4,166,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release. [0132] Formulations for oral use may also be presented as hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, for example peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil. Additionally, emulsions can be prepared with a non-water miscible ingredient such as oils and stabilized with surfactants such as mono-diglycerides, PEG esters and the like. [0133] Aqueous suspensions contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspensions. Such excipients are suspending agents, for example sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents may be a naturally-occurring phosphatide, for example lecithin, or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids, for example polyoxy-ethylene stearate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives, for example ethyl, or n-propyl, p-hydroxybenzoate, one or more coloring agents, one or more flavoring agents, and one or more sweetening agents, such as sucrose or saccharin.
[0134] Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil, for example, arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil, or in a mineral oil such as liquid paraffin. The oily suspensions may contain a thickening agent, for example beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set forth above, and flavoring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an anti-oxidant such as ascorbic acid.
[0135] Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water provide the active ingredient in admixture with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients, for example sweetening, flavoring and coloring agents, may also be present.
[0136] The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-inwater emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, for example olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, for example liquid paraffin or mixtures of these. Suitable emulsifying agents may be naturally-occurring gums, for example gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides, for example soy bean, lecithin, and esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example sorbitan monooleate, and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening and flavoring agents.
[0137] Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents, for example glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol or sucrose.

[0148] The following cardiovascular parameters were evaluated for all animals for 2 hours predose up to 24 hours post dose on Days 4 and 7: systemic arterial blood pressures (mean arterial pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse pressure), heart rate, and electrocardiographic interval duration (PR, QRS, QT, and QTc). Qualitative evaluation of the electrocardiographic waveforms was performed on Days 4 and 7, once prior to dosing, and at approximately 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hours after dosing. Additional evaluations consisted of mortality and clinical observations. [0149] There were no Compound 1.002-related mortalities or clinical signs noted during the course of the study. [0150] There were no biologically significant changes noted in systemic arterial blood pressures (systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure), electrocardiographic duration/intervals (PR, QRS, QT and QTc), heart rate, or qualitative ECG parameters on Days 4 or 7. [0151] In conclusion, there were no Compound 1.002-related changes in systemic arterial blood pressures (systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and pulse pressure), electrocardiographic duration/intervals (PR, QRS, QT and QTc), or heart on Days 4 or 7. There were no effects of Compound 1.002 on qualitative ECG parameters as assessed on Days 4 and 7. [0152] The blood pressure results from this study indicate that Compound 1.002 does not alter the levels of the blood-pressure related factors such as angiotensin, and that Compound 1.002 does not effect the activities of the antiotensin-converting enzymes 1 or 2 (ACE-1 or ACE-2).
