Definitions
- oci-Antitrypsin is a member of the serpin superfamily produced by the liver and secreted into the blood. It inhibits a variety of serine proteases, especially neutrophil elastase. When blood levels of A1AT are low, excessive neutrophil elastase activity degrades lung tissue resulting in respiratory complications, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract
The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) wherein R1-R4, m and n are as described in the application, and their medical uses, for example for use in the treatment of α1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD or AATD).
Description
Compounds and their Use for the Treatment of cci-Antitrypsin Deficiency
The invention relates to certain carboxylic acids and their medical use. oci-Antitrypsin (A1AT) is a member of the serpin superfamily produced by the liver and secreted into the blood. It inhibits a variety of serine proteases, especially neutrophil elastase. When blood levels of A1AT are low, excessive neutrophil elastase activity degrades lung tissue resulting in respiratory complications, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The reference range of A1AT in blood is 0.9-2.3 g/L. Levels lower than this are typical of oci-antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD or AATD), a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, coding for A1AT. The Z mutation, the most common cause of AATD, is the substitution of glutamate to lysine at position 366 of A1AT (UniProtKB - P01009 (A1AT_HUMAN)), corresponding to position 342 in the mature protein (Z A1AT). The Z mutation affects the folding of A1AT resulting in only a small fraction acquiring the native/active state. The remainder is either cleared as misfolded protein or accumulates in the liver as stable polymers. As a consequence of the misfolding, homozygous carriers of the Z mutation (ZZ) have plasma levels of A1AT that are 10-15% of normal, predisposing carriers to COPD. Accumulation of Z A1AT polymers in liver cells predisposes carriers to cirrhosis, liver cancer and other liver pathologies.
The current treatment for the lung manifestation of AATD involves augmentation therapy using A1AT concentrates prepared from the plasma of blood donors. The US FDA has approved the use of four A1AT products: Prolastin, Zemaira, Glassia, and Aralast. Dosing is via once weekly intravenous infusion. Augmentation therapy has been demonstrated to slow progression of COPD. The liver manifestations of AATD (e.g. cirrhosis and cancer) are treated with steroids and liver transplantation. Investigational approaches to improved treatment of the liver manifestations include inhibition of Z A1AT polymerisation and increased clearance of polymers through the activation of autophagy. Investigational
approaches to improved treatment of both the lung and the liver manifestations are directed towards improvement of Z A1AT folding and secretion.
A prior art search based on the structure of l-((2- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid was conducted. The closest prior art molecule identified by the search was the racemic compound, l-((2- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)sulfonyl)piperidine-3-carboxylic acid (CAS registry number 891392-68-0). This compound is listed as commercially available from Aurora, ChemDiv and the FCH Group but no publications are recorded. No pharmaceutical compositions or uses are known.

The term “pharmaceutically or therapeutically acceptable excipient or carrier” refers to a solid or liquid filler, diluent or encapsulating substance which does not interfere with the effectiveness or the biological activity of the active ingredients and which is not toxic to the host, which may be either humans or animals, to which it is administered. Depending upon the particular route of administration, a variety of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as those well known in the art may be used. Non-limiting examples include sugars, starches, cellulose and its derivatives, malt, gelatin, talc, calcium sulfate, vegetable oils, synthetic oils, polyols, alginic acid, phosphate buffered solutions, emulsifiers, isotonic saline, and pyrogen-free water.
All suitable modes of administration are contemplated according to the invention. For example, administration of the medicament may be via oral, subcutaneous, direct intravenous, slow intravenous infusion, continuous intravenous infusion, intravenous or epidural patient controlled analgesia (PCA and PCEA), intramuscular, intrathecal, epidural, intracistemal, intraperitoneal, transdermal, topical, transmucosal, buccal, sublingual, transmucosal, inhalation, intranasal, intra-atricular, intranasal, rectal or ocular routes. The medicament may be formulated in discrete dosage units and can be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy.
All suitable pharmaceutical dosage forms are contemplated. Administration of the medicament may for example be in the form of oral solutions and suspensions, tablets, capsules, lozenges, effervescent tablets, transmucosal films, suppositories, buccal products, oral mucoretentive products, topical creams, ointments, gels, films and patches, transdermal patches, abuse deterrent and abuse resistant formulations, sterile solutions suspensions and depots for parenteral use, and the like, administered as immediate
