Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to methods of treating or preventing pulmonary fibrosis (preferably idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis or pulmonary fibrosis associated with a coronavirus infection) in a patient in need thereof by administering a FAK inhibitor defined by formula I below or a salt or prodrug thereof to said patient:
  • IPF IPNF
  • CT computed tomography
  • Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a rare progressive disease, mainly in older adults and is characterized by chronic and progressive fibrosing of the lung interstitium leading to exertion-related breathlessness, cough, dyspnea and worsening lung function (2). As the name suggests, the disease has no known cause and while the clinical course is variable, the prognosis is exceptionally poor.
  • An analysis of US Medicare claims indicated that increased age and male gender were associated with increased incidence of IPF (3).
  • Other risk factors include a history of smoking (4), occupational exposures (5) and certain viral infections (2). Without antifibrotic treatment there is a median survival time from diagnosis of approximately 3 years (6). Given the low survival rates, new therapies are needed but IPF is notoriously resistant to pharmacological intervention.
  • FVC forced vital capacity
  • nintedanib and pirfenidone have shown a reduction in the rate of decline in FVC by approximately 50% over 1 year of treatment (10, 11). Extended treatment with nintedanib for up to four years also demonstrated a sustained decline in deterioration of FVC (12).
  • uptake in clinical prescription of nintedanib and pirfenidone has been slow, primarily due to their relatively marginal impact on the slowing of disease progression and these drugs’ side effect profiles.
  • Side effects of pirfenidone include diarrhea, photosensitivity and rash (13), while nausea and diarrhea are the most common adverse effects of nintedanib in patients with IPF (14).
  • nintedanib and pirfenidone have improved the management of IPF, new therapies are required. Furthermore such therapies may be useful in managing coronavirus infections as data from previous coronavirus infections such as severe acute respiratory syndrome and Middle East respiratory syndrome, as well as emerging data from the COVID-19 pandemic, suggest there could be substantial fibrotic consequences following SARS- CoV-2 infection.
  • Antifibrotic therapies that are available or in development could have value in preventing severe COVID-19 in patients with IPF, have the potential to treat severe COVID-19 in patients without IPF, and might have a role in preventing fibrosis after SARS-CoV-2 infection (17).
  • the FAK (focal adhesion kinase) inhibitor of formula I (which is the third example of the thirteen examples presented in WO2012110774) is surprisingly selective for FAK when compared to other kinases (and therefore is less likely to show off-target effects associated with toxicity) and shows efficacy in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, particularly idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
  • pulmonary fibrosis refers to any one of a spectrum of lung disorders, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), having a progressive fibrosing clinical phenotype that is characterized by an increasing extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (CT), decline in lung function, worsening of symptoms and quality of life, and early death despite current therapy.
  • IPF idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • CT computed tomography
  • infection with a coronavirus includes but is not limited to infection with a coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), as well as COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2). Accordingly, in a first embodiment, there is provided a method of treating or preventing pulmonary fibrosis in a patient in need thereof by administering a FAK inhibitor defined by formula I below or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof to said patient:
  • the salt is a tartrate salt.
  • a FAK inhibitor defined by formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof for use in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in a patient in need thereof.
  • a FAK inhibitor defined by formula I or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing pulmonary fibrosis in a patient in need thereof.
  • the pulmonary fibrosis is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
  • the pulmonary fibrosis is associated with infection by a coronavirus, particularly a coronavirus associated with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2).
  • a coronavirus particularly a coronavirus associated with COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2).
  • Figure 1 Protocols used to assess the ability of the compound of Formula I to prevent or treat lung fibrosis induced by intratracheal bleomycin (30 pi; 0.05U/mouse) or PBS (30 mI; vehicle control).
  • FIG. 1 Lung fibrosis assessed by Masson’s trichrome staining (magnification x 20). Top panels: Treatment protocol. Bottom Panels: Prevention Protocol.
  • AHR airways hyper-responsiveness
  • the compound of Formula I is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of focal adhesion kinase (FAK).
  • FAK focal adhesion kinase
  • the IC50 of the compound of formula I for FAK was shown to be 2.2 nM while in a cellular assay using MDA-231 LNA cells, the IC50 was determined to be 7 nM.
  • the compound of formula I tested at a concentration of 1 micromolar was found to have a S10 selectivity score of 0.02, making it a highly selective inhibitor of FAK relative to other kinases.
  • the compound of formula I has been shown to exhibit drug-like properties in that it shows dose-proportional exposures following oral dosing in rats, mice and dogs; possesses no detectable inhibition of common cytochrome P450s and displays no unique metabolites upon exposure to human, rat, dog or primate hepatocytes.
  • the L-tartrate salt of the compound of Formula I is one proposed drug substance and this salt form has proven sufficiently soluble for use in preclinical studies without the need for addition of novel excipients or dissolution agents. Stability studies of the L-tartrate salt of the compound of Formula I have shown no significant degradation after 9 months under both long-term and accelerated conditions.
  • the compound has been shown to be effective in models of pulmonary fibrosis.
  • FAM Focal adhesion kinase
  • GPCRs G protein-coupled receptors
  • RTKs receptor tyrosine kinases
  • FAK is important in transducing chemotactic and haptotactic stimuli from the extracellular environment and orchestrating changes in cellular adhesion and motility in response to these signals.
  • dimerization of FAK in response to integrin clustering at the cell surface permits autophosphorylation of Y397, docking of Srcand the activation of cell signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt pathway.
  • the term “pharmaceutically acceptable derivative” may include any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or prodrug, or any other compound which upon administration to a subject, is capable of providing (directly or indirectly) a compound of formula I or an active metabolite or residue thereof.
  • Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, but are not limited to, salts of pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic acids such as hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, nitric, carbonic, boric, sulfamic, and hydrobromic acids, or salts of pharmaceutically acceptable organic acids such as acetic, propionic, butyric, tartaric, maleic, hydroxymaleic, fumaric, malic, citric, lactic, mucic, gluconic, benzoic, succinic, oxalic, phenylacetic, methanesulphonic, toluenesulphonic, benzenesulphonic, salicylic, sulphanilic, aspartic, glutamic, edetic, stearic, palmitic, oleic, lauric, pantothenic, tannic, ascorbic and valeric acids.
