SREBP INHIBITORS COMPRISING A THIOPHENE CENTRAL RING

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/056,413, filed July 24, 2020, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The present disclosure relates to compounds comprising a three-ring core, their use for inhibiting components of the sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) pathway, such as SREBP or SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP), and their use in therapeutic methods of treating conditions and disorders.

BACKGROUND

[0003] SREBPs are membrane-bound transcription factors that regulate cholesterol, fatty acid, and triglyceride biosynthesis, and lipid uptake. Fatty acids and lipids are a source of energy and important components of many biological structures, such as lipid membranes of cells. Cholesterol is an important component of biological processes and structures. In mammals, there are three known SREBP isoforms: SREBP-la, SREBP-lc, and SREBP-2. SREBP-la controls a broad range of target genes that are involved in the production of fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol. SREBP-lc primarily activates genes which control fatty acid and triglyceride synthesis. SREBP-2 activates genes involved in the synthesis of regulators of cholesterol metabolism, which has been demonstrated in mouse, human, and Drosophila studies. The activity of SREBPs is regulated by SREBP cleavage activating protein (SCAP), which transports SREBP(s) from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus where the SREBP(s) are proteolytically cleaved, releasing the transcription factor domain.

[0004] The pathways regulated by SREBPs and SCAP have been implicated in disorders of metabolism, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, fatty liver, and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NASH, for example, is liver inflammation and hepatocyte ballooning as a result of fat building up in the liver, which can lead to liver damage, such as cirrhosis. NASH can also be associated with other metabolism disorders, such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.

[0005] The metabolism of fatty acids, cholesterol, and triglycerides may also be linked to hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer. One characteristic of the oncogenic transformation of cancer cells is the shift of metabolism from catabolic to anabolic processes. Many cancers require synthesis of fatty acids and other lipids (such as cholesterol), and steroids (such as androgens). Thus, components of the SREBP pathway may play a role in hyperproliferative disorders, such as prostate cancer. SREBP- lc is the major transcriptional regulator of the biosynthesis of fatty acids, and expression of this transcription factor can be stimulated by androgens and epidermal growth factor in prostate cancer cells. Overexpression of SREBP- lc may drive tumorgenicity and invasion of prostate cancer cells. In addition to regulating androgen synthesis, SREBP-2 itself is also regulated by androgens in a direct feedback circuit of androgen production. However, prostate cancer cells have dysfunctional cholesterol homeostasis, resulting in accumulation of cholesterol and increased proliferation. This increase in cholesterol levels has been shown to be driven by regulated by increased SREBP-2 activity. SREBP-2 expression increases during disease progression, and is significantly higher after castration compared to prior.

[0006] Regulating components of the SREBP pathway, such as SCAP or SREBPs, is an important therapeutic approach for treating disorders, such as metabolic diseases and cancer. Thus, there is a need for compounds that can inhibit components of the SREBP pathway, such as SREBPs and SCAP.

A. Inhibiting SREBP or SCAP

[0099] Provided herein are uses and methods of inhibiting a component of the SREBP pathway, such as an SREBP or SCAP. In some embodiments, a combination of an SREBP and SCAP is inhibited. Such methods may include contacting an SREBP with a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the forgoing and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Such uses and methods may also include contacting SCAP with a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II- A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the forgoing and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[00100] In certain embodiments, a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B- i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof is administered to a subject in need thereof to inhibit a component of the SREBP pathway. In other embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof, is administered to the subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the amount of the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof, relative to the subject’s body mass, is between about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg. In some embodiments, about 0.7 mg to about 7 g daily, or about 7 mg to about 350 mg daily, or about 350 mg to about 1.75 g daily, or about 1.75 to about 7 g daily of the compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II- B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof is administered to a subject in need thereof to inhibit a component of the SREBP pathway. In certain embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof, is administered as a pharmaceutical composition, as described herein. [00101] The component of the SREBP pathway that is inhibited by the methods and uses described herein may be an SREBP or SCAP. In some embodiments, an SREBP is inhibited.

The SREBP may be, for example, an SREBP-1 (such as SREBP-la or SREBP-lc) or SREBP-2. In certain variations, two or three of SREBP-la, SREBP-lc, and SREBP-2 are inhibited. In some embodiments, the component is an SREBP-1. In other embodiments, the SREBP is SREBP-la. In certain embodiments, the component is SREBP-lc. In still other embodiments, the SREBP is SREBP-2. In other embodiments, the component of the SREBP pathway is SCAP. In some embodiments, both an SREBP and SCAP are inhibited. In certain embodiments, two or three of SREBP-la, SREBP-lc, and SREBP-2 are inhibited, and SCAP is inhibited.

[00102] Inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway, such as an SREBP or SCAP, may include partial inhibition or full inhibition. Partial inhibition may include reducing the activity of a component of the SREBP pathway to a level that is still detectable. Full inhibition may include stopping all activity of a component of the SREBP pathway (such as stopping the activity of an SREBP or SCAP), or reducing the activity of a component of the SREBP pathway to a level below detection. Inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway may be measured directly or indirectly, using any methods known in the art.

[00103] In some embodiments, inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway is measured directly, for example by measuring the product of a reaction catalyzed by an SREBP pathway component. Inhibition of SREBP activation (for example, by inhibiting SCAP) may in some embodiments be demonstrated by western blotting and quantitatively assessing the levels of full- length and cleaved SREBP-1 and/or SREBP-2 proteins from a cell line (such as a hepatic cell lines) or primary cells (such as primary hepatocytes of mouse, rat or human origin).

[00104] In some embodiments, inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway is measured indirectly, for example by measuring the level of expression of one or more genes that are regulated by SREBP. The inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway, such as an SREBP or SCAP, may reduce the expression of one or more genes that are regulated by an SREBP, for example an SREBP-1 (such as SREBP-la or SREBP-lc) or SREBP-2. SCAP plays a role in activating SREBPs, thus inhibiting the activity of SCAP may reduce the expression of one or more genes that are regulated by an SREBP. SREBP pathway inhibition may also be determined by assessing gene transcription levels of one or more target genes of SREBP-1 and/or SREBP-2, such as one or more of ACSS2, ALDOC, CYP51A1, DHCR7, ELOVL6, FASN, FDFT1, FDPS, HMGCS1, HSD17B7, IDI1, INSIG1, LDLR, LSS, ME1, PCSK9, PMVK, RDHll, SC5DL, SQLE, STARD4, TM7SF2, PNPLA3, SREBFl, SREBF2, HMGCR, MVD, MVK, ACLY, MSMOl, ACACA, or ACACB. The transcription levels may be assessed, for example, by transcriptomic analysis, including but not limited to q-PCR. A reduction in one, two, three, four, five, or more of these genes may indicate inhibition of SREBP activation. This evaluation of endogenous SREBP gene expression may be assessed in cell lines (such as hepatic cell lines) or primary cells (such as primary hepatocytes of mouse, rat, or human origin). In some embodiments, the gene transcription levels of PCSK9 or PNPLA3, or a combination thereof, are evaluated.

[00105] Therefore, provided herein are uses and methods of reducing the expression of one or more genes selected from the group consisting of ACSS2, ALDOC, CYP51A1, DHCR7, ELOVL6, FASN, FDFT1, FDPS, HMGCS1, HSD17B7, IDI1, INSIG1, LDLR, LSS, ME1, PCSK9, PMVK, RDHll, SC5DL, SQLE, STARD4, TM7SF2, PNPLA3, SREBFl, SREBF2, HMGCR, MVD, MVK, ACLY, MSMOl, ACACA, and ACACB, comprising contacting an SREBP or SCAP with a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (P-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof. In some embodiments, the expression of PCSK9 is reduced. In other embodiments, the expression of PNPLA3 is reduced. In still further embodiments, both the expression of PCSK9 and PNPLA3 are reduced. In certain embodiments, one or more SREBP is contacted, for example an SREBP-1 (such as SREBP- la or SREBP- lc) or SREBP-2, or any combinations thereof. In other embodiments, SCAP is contacted. In still further embodiments, one or more of SREBP-la, SREBP-lc, SREBP-2, and SCAP is contacted. In certain embodiments, inhibition of a component of the SREBP pathway may treat a disorder mediated by an SREBP, such as the disorders as described herein. Thus, in certain embodiments, expression of one or more genes as described above is reduced in a subject in need thereof.

[00106] Another method of indirectly detecting SREBP pathway inhibition may include:

Serum-starving a hepatic cell line (HepG2) expressing luciferase under the control of the LSS- promoter to induce SREBP activation and increased luciferase expression. The cells may then be treated with a compound, such as a compound of Formula (I), (I- A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I- B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof. Following treatment, a reduction of luciferase activity reflects inhibition of SREBP activation, and non-cytotoxicity of the compound can be assessed by LDH release.

1. Metabolic Disorders

[00109] In some embodiments, the disorder is a metabolic disorder, such as a disorder that affects lipid metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, or insulin metabolism. In certain embodiments, the disorder is related to lipid metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, or insulin metabolism, for example, liver disease as a result of the buildup of fat in the liver, or cardiovascular disease.

[00110] In some embodiments, the disorder is a liver disease, such as chronic liver disease. In some embodiments, the liver disease is mediated by a component of the SREBP pathway, such as an SREBP or SCAP. In some embodiments, the liver disease is mediated by an SREBP. In certain embodiments, the liver disease is mediated by a downstream gene target of an SREBP, such as PNPLA-3. In other embodiments, the liver disease is mediated by SCAP. Thus, in some embodiments, provided herein are uses and methods of treating a liver disease in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof; or a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the foregoing and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

2. Hyperproliferative Disorders

[00127] In another embodiment, the disorder is a hyperproliferative disorder. Thus, in some embodiments, provided herein are uses and methods of treating a hyperproliferative disorder in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a compound of Formula (I), (I-A), (I-A-i), (I-A-ii), (I-B), (I-B-i), (I-B-ii), (II), (II-A), (II-A-i), (II-A-ii), (II-B), (II-B-i), or (II-B-ii), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, tautomer, isotope, or isomer thereof; or a pharmaceutical composition comprising any of the foregoing and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[00128] As described above, the metabolism of fatty acids, cholesterol, and triglycerides may play a role in hyperproliferative disorders, such as cancer. Often, during transformation of non- cancerous cells to cancerous cell, cell metabolism shifts from catabolic to anabolic processes. Depending on the type of tumor, the tumor cells may synthesize up to 95% of the saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids. Some cancers exhibit increased synthesis of fatty acids and other lipids (such as cholesterol), and steroids (such as androgens). Elevated fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression may induce progression to S phase in cancer cells, and inhibition of FAS expression may reduce cell growth and may induce apoptosis. Thus, components of the SREBP pathway may play a role in hyperproliferative disorders.

[00129] Hyperproliferative disorders, which are disorders associated with some degree of abnormal cell proliferation, may be benign or malignant. Benign hyperproliferative disorders may include pre-cancerous disorders.
