[4165] Routes of Administration and Composition Components
[4166] In some embodiments, the chemical entities described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof can be administered to subject in need thereof by any accepted route of administration. Acceptable routes of administration include, but are not limited to, buccal, cutaneous, endocervical, endosinusial, endotracheal, enteral, epidural, interstitial, intra-abdominal, intra-arterial, intrabronchial, intrabursal, intracerebral, intracisternal, intracoronary, intradermal, intraductal, intraduodenal, intradural, intraepidermal, intraesophageal, intragastric, intragingival, intraileal, intralymphatic, intramedullary, intrameningeal, intramuscular, intraovarian, intraperitoneal, intraprostatic, intrapulmonary, intrasinal, intraspinal, intrasynovial, intratesticular, intrathecal, intratubular, intratumoral, intrauterine, intravascular, intravenous, nasal, nasogastric, oral, parenteral, percutaneous, peridural, rectal, respiratory (inhalation), subcutaneous, sublingual, submucosal, topical, transdermal, transmucosal, transtracheal, ureteral, urethral and vaginal. In certain embodiments, a preferred route of administration is parenteral (e.g., intratumoral).
[4167] Compositions can be formulated for parenteral administration, e.g., formulated for injection via the intravenous, intramuscular, sub-cutaneous, or even intraperitoneal routes. Typically, such compositions can be prepared as injectables, either as liquid solutions or suspensions; solid forms suitable for use to prepare solutions or suspensions upon the addition of a liquid prior to injection can also be prepared; and the preparations can also be emulsified. The preparation of such formulations will be known to those of skill in the art in light of the present disclosure.
[4168] The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions; formulations including sesame oil, peanut oil, or aqueous propylene glycol; and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that it may be easily injected. It also should be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi.
[4169] The carrier also can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and liquid polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating, such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion, and by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.
[4170] Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compounds in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filtered sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum-drying and freeze-drying techniques, which yield a powder of the active ingredient, plus any additional desired ingredient from a previously sterile-filtered solution thereof.
[4171] Intratumoral injections are discussed, e.g., in Lammers, et al., “Effect of Intratumoral Injection on the Biodistribution and the Therapeutic Potential of HPMA Copolymer-Based Drug Delivery Systems” Neoplasia. 2006, 10, 788-795.
[4172] In certain embodiments, the chemical entities described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof are suitable for local, topical administration to the digestive or GI tract, e.g., rectal administration. Rectal compositions include, without limitation, enemas, rectal gels, rectal foams, rectal aerosols, suppositories, jelly suppositories, and enemas (e.g., retention enemas).
[4173] Pharmacologically acceptable excipients usable in the rectal composition as a gel, cream, enema, or rectal suppository, include, without limitation, any one or more of cocoa butter glycerides, synthetic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, PEG (like PEG ointments), glycerine, glycerinated gelatin, hydrogenated vegetable oils, poloxamers, mixtures of polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights and fatty acid esters of polyethylene glycol Vaseline, anhydrous lanolin, shark liver oil, sodium saccharinate, menthol, sweet almond oil, sorbitol, sodium benzoate, anoxid SBN, vanilla essential oil, aerosol, parabens in phenoxyethanol, sodium methyl p-oxybenzoate, sodium propyl p-oxybenzoate, diethylamine, carbomers, carbopol, methyloxybenzoate, macrogol cetostearyl ether, cocoyl caprylocaprate, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, liquid paraffin, xanthan gum, carboxy-metabisulfite, sodium edetate, sodium benzoate, potassium metabisulfite, grapefruit seed extract, methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM), lactic acid, glycine, vitamins, such as vitamin A and E and potassium acetate.
[4174] In certain embodiments, suppositories can be prepared by mixing the chemical entities described herein with suitable non-irritating excipients or carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax which are solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum and release the active compound. In other embodiments, compositions for rectal administration are in the form of an enema.
[4175] In other embodiments, the compounds described herein or a pharmaceutical composition thereof are suitable for local delivery to the digestive or GI tract by way of oral administration (e.g., solid or liquid dosage forms).
[4176] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the chemical entity is mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and/or: a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid, b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia, c) humectants such as glycerol, d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate, e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin, f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds, g) wetting agents such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay, and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may also comprise buffering agents. 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 polyethylene glycols and the like.
[4177] In one embodiment, the compositions will take the form of a unit dosage form such as a pill or tablet and thus the composition may contain, along with a chemical entity provided herein, a diluent such as lactose, sucrose, dicalcium phosphate, or the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or the like; and a binder such as starch, gum acacia, polyvinylpyrrolidine, gelatin, cellulose, cellulose derivatives or the like. In another solid dosage form, a powder, marume, solution or suspension (e.g., in propylene carbonate, vegetable oils, PEG's, poloxamer 124 or triglycerides) is encapsulated in a capsule (gelatin or cellulose base capsule). Unit dosage forms in which one or more chemical entities provided herein or additional active agents are physically separated are also contemplated; e.g., capsules with granules (or tablets in a capsule) of each drug; two-layer tablets; two-compartment gel caps, etc. Enteric coated or delayed release oral dosage forms are also contemplated.
[4178] Other physiologically acceptable compounds include wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents or preservatives that are particularly useful for preventing the growth or action of microorganisms. Various preservatives are well known and include, for example, phenol and ascorbic acid.
[4179] In certain embodiments the excipients are sterile and generally free of undesirable matter. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional, well-known sterilization techniques. For various oral dosage form excipients such as tablets and capsules sterility is not required. The USP/NF standard is usually sufficient.
[4180] In certain embodiments, solid oral dosage forms can further include one or more components that chemically and/or structurally predispose the composition for delivery of the chemical entity to the stomach or the lower GI; e.g., the ascending colon and/or transverse colon and/or distal colon and/or small bowel. Exemplary formulation techniques are described in, e.g., Filipski, K. J., et al., Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2013, 13, 776-802, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[4181] Examples include upper-GI targeting techniques, e.g., Accordion Pill (Intec Pharma), floating capsules, and materials capable of adhering to mucosal walls.
[4182] Other examples include lower-GI targeting techniques. For targeting various regions in the intestinal tract, several enteric/pH-responsive coatings and excipients are available. These materials are typically polymers that are designed to dissolve or erode at specific pH ranges, selected based upon the GI region of desired drug release. These materials also function to protect acid labile drugs from gastric fluid or limit exposure in cases where the active ingredient may be irritating to the upper GI (e.g., hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate series, Coateric (polyvinyl acetate phthalate), cellulose acetate phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, Eudragit series (methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymers), and Marcoat). Other techniques include dosage forms that respond to local flora in the GI tract, Pressure-controlled colon delivery capsule, and Pulsincap.
[4183] Ocular compositions can include, without limitation, one or more of any of the following: viscogens (e.g., Carboxymethylcellulose, Glycerin, Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Polyethylene glycol); Stabilizers (e.g., Pluronic (triblock copolymers), Cyclodextrins); Preservatives (e.g., Benzalkonium chloride, ETDA, SofZia (boric acid, propylene glycol, sorbitol, and zinc chloride; Alcon Laboratories, Inc.), Purite (stabilized oxychloro complex; Allergan, Inc.)).
[4184] Topical compositions can include ointments and creams. Ointments are semisolid preparations that are typically based on petrolatum or other petroleum derivatives. Creams containing the selected active agent are typically viscous liquid or semisolid emulsions, often either oil-in-water or water-in-oil. Cream bases are typically water-washable, and contain an oil phase, an emulsifier and an aqueous phase. The oil phase, also sometimes called the “internal” phase, is generally comprised of petrolatum and a fatty alcohol such as cetyl or stearyl alcohol; the aqueous phase usually, although not necessarily, exceeds the oil phase in volume, and generally contains a humectant. The emulsifier in a cream formulation is generally a nonionic, anionic, cationic or amphoteric surfactant. As with other carriers or vehicles, an ointment base should be inert, stable, nonirritating and non-sensitizing.
[4185] In any of the foregoing embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions described herein can include one or more one or more of the following: lipids, interbilayer crosslinked multilamellar vesicles, biodegradeable poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) [PLGA]-based or poly anhydride-based nanoparticles or microparticles, and nanoporous particle-supported lipid bilayers.

[4228] In certain embodiments, component (i) is formulated as a wet granulated solid preparation. In certain of these embodiments an internal phase of ingredients (the chemical entity, disintegrant, and diluent) are combined and mixed in a high-shear granulator. A binder (e.g., povidone) is dissolved in water to form a granulating solution. This solution is added to the Inner Phase mixture resulting in the development of granules. While not wishing to be bound by theory, granule development is believed to be facilitated by the interaction of the polymeric binder with the materials of the internal phase. Once the granulation is formed and dried, an external phase (e.g., one or more lubricants—not an intrinsic component of the dried granulation), is added to the dry granulation. It is believed that lubrication of the granulation is important to the flowability of the granulation, in particular for packaging.

Anti-TNFα Agents
[4310] The term “anti-TNFα agent” refers to an agent which directly or indirectly blocks, down-regulates, impairs, inhibits, impairs, or reduces TNFα activity and/or expression. In some embodiments, an anti-TNFα agent is an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, a fusion protein, a soluble TNFα receptor (a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1A (TNFR1) or a soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily 1B (TNFR2)), an inhibitory nucleic acid, or a small molecule TNFα antagonist. In some embodiments, the inhibitory nucleic acid is a ribozyme, small hairpin RNA, a small interfering RNA, an antisense nucleic acid, or an aptamer.
[4311] Exemplary anti-TNFα agents that directly block, down-regulate, impair, inhibit, or reduce TNFα activity and/or expression can, e.g., inhibit or decrease the expression level of TNFα or a receptor of TNFα (TNFR1 or TNFR2) in a cell (e.g., a cell obtained from a subject, a mammalian cell), or inhibit or reduce binding of TNFα to its receptor (TNFR1 and/or TNFR2) and/or. Non-limiting examples of anti-TNFα agents that directly block, down-regulate, impair, inhibit, or reduce TNFα activity and/or expression include an antibody or fragment thereof, a fusion protein, a soluble TNFα receptor (e.g., a soluble TNFR1 or soluble TNFR2), inhibitory nucleic acids (e.g., any of the examples of inhibitory nucleic acids described herein), and a small molecule TNFα antagonist.
[4312] Exemplary anti-TNFα agents that can indirectly block, down-regulate, impair, inhibit reduce TNFα activity and/or expression can, e.g., inhibit or decrease the level of downstream signaling of a TNFα receptor (e.g., TNFR1 or TNFR2) in a mammalian cell (e.g., decrease the level and/or activity of one or more of the following signaling proteins: AP-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 5 (ASK1), inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B (IKK), mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (INK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), MEKK 1/4, MEKK 4/7, MEKK 3/6, nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase 14 (NIK), receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1 (RIP), TNFRSF1A associated via death domain (TRADD), and TNF receptor associated factor 2 (TRAF2), in a cell), and/or decrease the level of TNFα-induced gene expression in a mammalian cell (e.g., decrease the transcription of genes regulated by, e.g., one or more transcription factors selected from the group of activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2), c-Jun, and NF-κB). A description of downstream signaling of a TNFα receptor is provided in Wajant et al., Cell Death Differentiation 10:45-65, 2003 (incorporated herein by reference). For example, such indirect anti-TNFα agents can be an inhibitory nucleic acid that targets (decreases the expression) a signaling component downstream of a TNFα-induced gene (e.g., any TNFα-induced gene known in the art), a TNFα receptor (e.g., any one or more of the signaling components downstream of a TNFα receptor described herein or known in the art), or a transcription factor selected from the group of NF-κB, c-Jun, and ATF2.
[4313] In other examples, such indirect anti-TNFα agents can be a small molecule inhibitor of a protein encoded by a TNFα-induced gene (e.g., any protein encoded by a TNFα-induced gene known in the art), a small molecule inhibitor of a signaling component downstream of a TNFα receptor (e.g., any of the signaling components downstream of a TNFα receptor described herein or known in the art), and a small molecule inhibitor of a transcription factor selected from the group of ATF2, c-Jun, and NF-κB.
[4314] In other embodiments, anti-TNFα agents that can indirectly block, down-regulate, impair, or reduce one or more components in a cell (e.g., a cell obtained from a subject, a mammalian cell) that are involved in the signaling pathway that results in TNFα mRNA transcription, TNFα mRNA stabilization, and TNFα mRNA translation (e.g., one or more components selected from the group of CD14, c-Jun, ERK1/2, IKK, IκB, interleukin 1 receptor associated kinase 1 (IRAK), INK, lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), MEK1/2, MEK3/6, MEK4/7, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, PKR, p38, AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 (rac), raf kinase (raf), ras, TRAF6, TTP). For example, such indirect anti-TNFα agents can be an inhibitory nucleic acid that targets (decreases the expression) of a component in a mammalian cell that is involved in the signaling pathway that results in TNFα mRNA transcription, TNFα mRNA stabilization, and TNFα mRNA translation (e.g., a component selected from the group of CD14, c-Jun, ERK1/2, IKK, IκB, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MEK1/2, MEK3/6, MEK4/7, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, IRAK, lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), PKR, p38, rac, raf, ras, TRAF6, TTP). In other examples, an indirect anti-TNFα agents is a small molecule inhibitor of a component in a mammalian cell that is involved in the signaling pathway that results in TNFα mRNA transcription, TNFα mRNA stabilization, and TNFα mRNA translation (e.g., a component selected from the group of CD14, c-Jun, ERK1/2, IKK, IκB, IRAK, JNK, lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), MEK1/2, MEK3/6, MEK4/7, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIX, IRAK, lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP), PKR, p38, rac, raf, ras, TRAF6, TTP).

Exp. Med. 174(6):1483-1489, 1991) or a soluble TNFR (e.g., TNFR1 or TNFR2) that binds specifically to TNFα. In some embodiments, the anti-TNFα agent includes or is a soluble TNFα receptor (e.g., Bjornberg et al., Lymphokine Cytokine Res. 13(3):203-211, 1994; Kozak et al., Am. J. Physiol. Reg. Integrative Comparative Physiol. 269(1):R23-R29, 1995; Tsao et al., Eur Respir J. 14(3):490-495, 1999; Watt et al., J Leukoc Biol. 66(6):1005-1013, 1999; Mohler et al., J. Immunol. 151(3):1548-1561, 1993; Nophar et al., EMBO J. 9(10):3269, 1990; Piguet et al., Eur. Respiratory J. 7(3):515-518, 1994; and Gray et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 87(19):7380-7384, 1990). In some embodiments, the anti-TNFα agent includes or is etanercept (Enbrel™) (see, e.g., WO 91/03553 and WO 09/406,476, incorporated by reference herein). In some embodiments, the anti-TNFα agent inhibitor includes or is r-TBP-I (e.g., Gradstein et al., J. Acquir. Immune Defic. Syndr. 26(2): 111-117, 2001).

[4328] An antisense nucleic acid molecule can be fully or partially complementary to all or part of a non-coding region of the coding strand of a nucleotide sequence encoding an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RTP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP protein. Non-coding regions (5′ and 3′ untranslated regions) are the 5′ and 3′ sequences that flank the coding region in a gene and are not translated into amino acids.
[4329] Based upon the sequences disclosed herein, one of skill in the art can easily choose and synthesize any of a number of appropriate antisense nucleic acids to target a nucleic acid encoding an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP protein described herein. Antisense nucleic acids targeting a nucleic acid encoding an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP protein can be designed using the software available at the Integrated DNA Technologies website.
[4330] An antisense nucleic acid can be, for example, about 5, 10, 15, 18, 20, 22, 24, 25, 26, 28, 30, 32, 35, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 45, 46, 48, or 50 nucleotides or more in length. An antisense oligonucleotide can be constructed using enzymatic ligation reactions and chemical synthesis using procedures known in the art. For example, an antisense nucleic acid can be chemically synthesized using variously modified nucleotides or naturally occurring nucleotides designed to increase the physical stability of the duplex formed between the antisense and sense nucleic acids, e.g., phosphorothioate derivatives and acridine substituted nucleotides or to increase the biological stability of the molecules.
[4331] Examples of modified nucleotides which can be used to generate an antisense nucleic acid include 1-methylguanine, 1-methylinosine, 2,2-dimethylguanine, 2-methyladenine, 2-methylguanine, 3-methylcytosine, 2-methylthio-N6-isopentenyladenine, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid (v), wybutoxosine, pseudouracil, queosine, 2-thiocytosine, 5-fluorouracil, 5-bromouracil, 5-chlorouracil, 5-iodouracil, hypoxanthine, xanthine, 4-acetylcytosine, 5-(carboxyhydroxylmethyl) uracil, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyl-2-thiouridine, 5-carboxymethylaminomethyluracil, dihydrouracil, beta-D-galactosylqueosine, inosine, N6-isopentenyladenine, 5-methylcytosine, N6-adenine, 7-methylguanine, 5-methylaminomethyluracil, 5-methoxyaminomethyl-2-thiouracil, beta-D-mannosylqueosine, 5′-methoxycarboxymethyluracil, 5-methoxyuracil, 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 2-thiouracil, 4-thiouracil, 5-methyluracil, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid methylester, uracil-5-oxyacetic acid (v), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil, 3-(3-amino-3-N-2-carboxypropyl) uracil, (acp3)w, and 2,6-diaminopurine. Alternatively, the antisense nucleic acid can be produced biologically using an expression vector into which a nucleic acid has been subcloned in an antisense orientation (i.e., RNA transcribed from the inserted nucleic acid will be of an antisense orientation to a target nucleic acid of interest).
[4332] The antisense nucleic acid molecules described herein can be prepared in vitro and administered to a subject, e.g., a human subject. Alternatively, they can be generated in situ such that they hybridize with or bind to cellular mRNA and/or genomic DNA encoding an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP protein to thereby inhibit expression, e.g., by inhibiting transcription and/or translation. The hybridization can be by conventional nucleotide complementarities to form a stable duplex, or, for example, in the case of an antisense nucleic acid molecule that binds to DNA duplexes, through specific interactions in the major groove of the double helix. The antisense nucleic acid molecules can be delivered to a mammalian cell using a vector (e.g., an adenovirus vector, a lentivirus, or a retrovirus).
[4333] An antisense nucleic acid can be an α-anomeric nucleic acid molecule. An α-anomeric nucleic acid molecule forms specific double-stranded hybrids with complementary RNA in which, contrary to the usual, β-units, the strands run parallel to each other (Gaultier et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 15:6625-6641, 1987). The antisense nucleic acid can also comprise a chimeric RNA-DNA analog (Inoue et al., FEBS Lett. 215:327-330, 1987) or a 2′-O-methylribonucleotide (Inoue et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 15:6131-6148, 1987).
[4334] Another example of an inhibitory nucleic acid is a ribozyme that has specificity for a nucleic acid encoding an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP mRNA, e.g., specificity for any one of the sequences presented in Table E). Ribozymes are catalytic RNA molecules with ribonuclease activity that are capable of cleaving a single-stranded nucleic acid, such as an mRNA, to which they have a complementary region. Thus, ribozymes (e.g., hammerhead ribozymes (described in Haselhoff and Gerlach, Nature 334:585-591, 1988)) can be used to catalytically cleave mRNA transcripts to thereby inhibit translation of the protein encoded by the mRNA. An AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP mRNA can be used to select a catalytic RNA having a specific ribonuclease activity from a pool of RNA molecules. See, e.g., Bartel et al., Science 261:1411-1418, 1993.
[4335] Alternatively, a ribozyme having specificity for an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP mRNA can be designed based upon the nucleotide sequence of any of the AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP mRNA sequences disclosed herein (e.g., in Table E). For example, a derivative of a Tetrahymena L-19 IVS RNA can be constructed in which the nucleotide sequence of the active site is complementary to the nucleotide sequence to be cleaved in an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP mRNA (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,987,071 and 5,116,742).
[4336] An inhibitory nucleic acid can also be a nucleic acid molecule that forms triple helical structures. For example, expression of an AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP polypeptide can be inhibited by targeting nucleotide sequences complementary to the regulatory region of the gene encoding the AP-1, ASK1, CD14, c-jun, ERK1/2, IκB, IKK, IRAK, JNK, LBP, MAPK, MEK1/2, MEKK1/4, MEKK4/7, MEKK 3/6, MK2, MyD88, NF-κB, NIK, p38, PKR, rac, ras, raf, RIP, TNFα, TNFR1, TNFR2, TRADD, TRAF2, TRAF6, or TTP polypeptide (e.g., the promoter and/or enhancer, e.g., a sequence that is at least 1 kb, 2 kb, 3 kb, 4 kb, or 5 kb upstream of the transcription initiation start state) to form triple helical structures that prevent transcription of the gene in target cells. See generally Maher, Bioassays 14(12):807-15, 1992; Helene, Anticancer Drug Des. 6(6):569-84, 1991; and Helene, Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 660:27-36, 1992.
[4337] In various embodiments, inhibitory nucleic acids can be modified at the sugar moiety, the base moiety, or phosphate backbone to improve, e.g., the solubility, stability, or hybridization, of the molecule. For example, the deoxyribose phosphate backbone of the nucleic acids can be modified to generate peptide nucleic acids (see, e.g., Hyrup et al., Bioorganic Medicinal Chem. 4(1):5-23, 1996). Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are nucleic acid mimics, e.g., DNA mimics, in which the deoxyribose phosphate backbone is replaced by a pseudopeptide backbone and only the four natural nucleobases are retained. The neutral backbone of PNAs allows for specific hybridization to RNA and DNA under conditions of low ionic strength. PNA oligomers can be synthesized using standard solid phase peptide synthesis protocols (see, e.g., Perry-O'Keefe et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93:14670-675, 1996). PNAs can be used as antisense or antigene agents for sequence-specific modulation of gene expression by, e.g., inducing transcription or translation arrest or inhibiting replication.
Small Molecules
[4338] In some embodiments, the anti-TNFα agent is a small molecule. In some embodiments, the small molecule is a tumor necrosis factor-converting enzyme (TACE) inhibitor (e.g., Moss et al., Nature Clinical Practice Rheumatology 4: 300-309, 2008). In some embodiments, the anti-TNFα agent is C87 (Ma et al., J. Biol. Chem. 289(18):12457-66, 2014). In some embodiments, the small molecule is LMP-420 (e.g., Haraguchi et al., AIDS Res.

[4363] Racemic compounds of this invention can be resolved to give individual enantiomers using a variety of known methods. For example, chiral stationary phases can be used and the elution conditions can include normal phase or super-critical fluid with or without acidic or basic additives. Enantiomerically pure acids or bases can be used to form diastereomeric salts with the racemic compounds whereby pure enantiomers can be obtained by fractional crystallization. The racemates can also be derivatized with enantiomerically pure auxiliary reagents to form diastereomeric mixtures that can be separated. The auxiliary is then removed to give pure enantiomers.

Step 1: 2-(4-Fluoro-2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(5-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)thiazole-2-sulfonimidoyl)acetamide
[4809] Into a 50-mL round-bottom flask was placed 2-(4-fluoro-2,6-diisopropylphenyl)acetic acid (108 mg, 0.45 mmol), DCM (3 mL), and DMF (0.05 mL). This was followed by the addition of oxalyl chloride (0.5 mL) dropwise with stirring at RT. The solution was stirred for 30 min at RT and then was concentrated under vacuum. To the above mixture, diluted in DCM (1 mL), was added to a solution of 5-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)thiazole-2-sulfonimidamide (60 mg, 0.27 mmol) and TEA (150 mg, 1.48 mmol) in DCM (3 mL) dropwise with stirring at RT. The resulting solution was stirred for 1 h at RT and was then concentrated under vacuum. The crude product was purified by Prep-HPLC using method E eluted with a gradient of 22˜44% ACN. This resulted in 2.1 mg (1%) of Example 7 as a white solid.

[4953] The following protocol is suitable for testing the activity of the compounds disclosed herein.
Procedure 1: IL-1β Production in PMA-Differentiated THP-1 Cells Stimulated with Gramicidin.
[4954] THP-1 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection and sub-cultured according to instructions from the supplier. Cells were cultured in complete RPMI 1640 (containing 10% heat inactivated FBS, penicillin (100 units/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml)), and maintained in log phase prior to experimental setup. Prior to the experiment, compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to generate a 30 mM stock. The compound stock was first pre-diluted in DMSO to 3, 0.34, 0.042 and 0.0083 mM intermediate concentrations and subsequently spotted using Echo550 liquid handler into an empty 384-well assay plate to achieve desired final concentration (e.g. 100, 33, 11, 3.7, 1.2, 0.41, 0.14, 0.046, 0.015, 0.0051, 0.0017 μM). DMSO was backfilled in the plate to achieve a final DMSO assay concentration of 0.37%. The plate was then sealed and stored at room temperature until required.
[4955] THP-1 cells were treated with PMA (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) (20 ng/ml) for 16-18 hours. On the day of the experiment the media was removed and adherent cells were detached with trypsin for 5 minutes. Cells were then harvested, washed with complete RPMI 1640, spun down, and resuspended in RPMI 1640 (containing 2% heat inactivated FBS, penicillin (100 units/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml). The cells were plated in the 384-well assay plate containing the spotted compounds at a density of 50,000 cells/well (final assay volume 50 μl). Cells were incubated with compounds for 1 hour and then stimulated with gramicidin (5 μM) (Enzo) for 2 hours. Plates were then centrifuged at 340 g for 5 min. Cell free supernatant (40 μL) was collected using a 96-channel PlateMaster (Gilson) and the production of IL-1β was evaluated by HTRF (cisbio). The plates were incubated for 18 h at 4° C. and read using the preset HTRF program (donor emission at 620 nm, acceptor emission at 668 nm) of the SpectraMax i3x spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices, software SoftMax 6). A vehicle only control and a dose titration of CRID3 (100-0.0017 μM) were run concurrently with each experiment. Data was normalized to vehicle-treated samples (equivalent to 0% inhibition) and CRID3 at 100 μM (equivalent to 100% inhibition). Compounds exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of IL-1β production in PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells.
Procedure 2: IL-1β Production in PMA-Differentiated THP-1 Cells Stimulated with Gramicidin.
[4956] THP-1 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection and sub-cultured according to instructions from the supplier. Prior to experiments, cells were cultured in complete RPMI 1640 (containing 10% heat inactivated FBS, penicillin (100 units/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml)), and maintained in log phase prior to experimental setup. Prior to the experiment THP-1 were treated with PMA (Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate) (20 ng/ml) for 16-18 hours. Compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to generate a 30 mM stock. On the day of the experiment the media was removed and adherent cells were detached with trypsin for 5 minutes. Cells were then harvested, washed with complete RPMI 1640, spun down, resuspended in RPMI 1640 (containing 2% heat inactivated FBS, penicillin (100 units/ml) and streptomycin (100 μg/ml). The cells were plated in a 384-well plate at a density of 50,000 cells/well (final assay volume 50 μl). Compounds were first dissolved in assay medium to obtain a 5× top concentration of 500 μM. 10 step dilutions (1:3) were then undertaken in assay medium containing 1.67% DMSO. 5× compound solutions were added to the culture medium to achieve desired final concentration (e.g. 100, 33, 11, 3.7, 1.2, 0.41, 0.14, 0.046, 0.015, 0.0051, 0.0017 μM). Final DMSO concentration was at 0.37%. Cells were incubated with compounds for 1 hour and then stimulated with gramicidin (5 μM) (Enzo) for 2 hours. Plates were then centrifuged at 340 g for 5 min. Cell free supernatant (40 μL) was collected using a 96-channel PlateMaster (Gilson) and the production of IL-1β was evaluated by HTRF (cisbio). A vehicle only control and a dose titration of CRID3 (100-0.0017 μM) were run concurrently with each experiment. Data was normalized to vehicle-treated samples (equivalent to 0% inhibition) and CRID3 at 100 μM (equivalent to 100% inhibition). Compounds exhibited a concentration-dependent inhibition of IL-1β production in PMA-differentiated THP-1 cells.

Study Example 1
[4989] The CARD8 gene is located within the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) 6 linkage region on chromosome 19. CARD8 interacts with NLRP3, and Apoptosis-associated Speck-like protein to form a caspase-1 activating complex termed the NLRP3 inflammasome. The NLRP3 inflammasome mediates the production and secretion of interleukin-1β, by processing pro-IL-1β into mature secreted IL-1β. In addition to its role in the inflammasome, CARD8 is also a potent inhibitor of nuclear factor NF-κB. NF-κB activation is essential for the production of pro-IL-1β. Since over-production of IL-1β and dysregulation of NF-κB are hallmarks of Crohn's disease, CARD8 is herein considered to be a risk gene for inflammatory bowel disease. A significant association of CARD8 with Crohn's disease was detected in two British studies with a risk effect for the minor allele of the non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of a C allele at rs2043211. This SNP introduces a premature stop codon, resulting in the expression of a severely truncated protein. This variant CARD8 protein is unable to suppress NF-κB activity, leading to constitutive production of pro-IL-1β, which is a substrate for the NLRP3 inflammasome. It is believed that a gain-of-function mutation in an NLRP3 gene (e.g., any of the gain-of-function mutations described herein, e.g., any of the gain-of-function mutations in an NLRP3 gene described herein) combined with a loss-of-function mutation in a CARD8 gene (e.g., a C allele at rs2043211) results in the development of diseases related to increased NLRP3 inflammasome expression and/or activity. Patients having, e.g., a gain-of-function mutation in an NLRP3 gene and/or a loss-of-function mutation in a CARD8 gene are predicted to show improved therapeutic response to treatment with an NLRP3 antagonist.
[4990] A study is designed to determine: whether NLRP3 antagonists inhibit inflammasome function and inflammatory activity in cells and biopsy specimens from patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis; and whether the specific genetic variants identify patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis who are most likely to respond to treatment with an NLRP3 antagonist.
[4991] The secondary objectives of this study are to: determine if an NLRP3 antagonist reduces inflammasome activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative biopsy samples (comparing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis results with control patient results); determine if an NLRP3 antagonist reduced inflammatory cytokine RNA and protein expression in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis samples; determine if baseline (no ex vivo treatment) RNA levels of NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β are greater in biopsy samples from patients with anti-TNFα agent resistance status; and stratify the results according to presence of specific genetic mutations in genes encoding ATG16L1, NLRP3, and CARD8 (e.g., any of the mutations in the ATG16L1 gene, NLRP3 gene, and CARD8 gene described herein).
Methods
[4992] Evaluation of baseline expression of NLRP3 RNA and quantify inhibition of inflammasome activity by an NLRP3 antagonist in biopsies of disease tissue from patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. [4993] Determine if NLRP3 antagonist treatment reduces the inflammatory response in biopsies of disease from patients with Crohn's disease based on decreased expression of inflammatory gene RNA measured with Nanostring. [4994] Sequence patient DNA to detect specific genetic mutations in the ATG16L1 gene, NLRP3 gene, and CARD8 gene (e.g., any of the exemplary mutations in these genes described herein) and then stratify the results of functional assays according to the presence of these genetic mutations.
Experimental Design
[4995] Human subjects and tissue: [4996] Endoscopic or surgical biopsies from areas of disease in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis who are either anti-TNFα treatment naïve or resistant to anti-TNFα treatment; additionally biopsies from control patients (surveillance colonoscopy or inflammation-free areas from patients with colorectal cancer) are studied. [4997] Ex vivo Treatment Model: [4998] Organ or LPMC culture as determined appropriate [4999] Endpoints to be measured: [5000] Before ex vivo treatment—NLRP3 RNA level [5001] After ex vivo treatment—inflammasome activity (either processed IL-1β, processed caspase-1, or secreted IL-1β); RNA for inflammatory cytokines (Nanostring); viable T cell number and/or T cell apoptosis. [5002] Data Analysis Plan: [5003] Determine if NLRP3 antagonist treatment decreases processed IL-1β, processed caspase-1 or secreted IL-1β, and inflammatory cytokine RNA levels. [5004] Stratify response data according to treatment status at biopsy and the presence of genetic mutations in the NLRP3 gene, CARD8 gene, and ATG16L1 gene (e.g., any of the exemplary genetic mutations of these genes described herein).
Study Example 2. Treatment of Anti-TNFα Resistant Patients with NLRP3 Antagonists
[5005] PLoS One 2009 Nov. 24; 4(11):e7984, describes that mucosal biopsies were obtained at endoscopy in actively inflamed mucosa from patients with Ulcerative Colitis, refractory to corticosteroids and/or immunosuppression, before and 4-6 weeks after their first infliximab (an anti-TNFα agent) infusion and in normal mucosa from control patients. The patients in this study were classified for response to infliximab based on endoscopic and histologic findings at 4-6 weeks after first infliximab treatment as responder or non-responder. Transcriptomic RNA expression levels of these biopsies were accessed by the inventors of the invention disclosed herein from GSE 16879, the publically available Gene Expression Omnibus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/geo2r/?acc=GSE16879). Expression levels of RNA encoding NLRP3 and IL-1β were determined using GEO2R (a tool available on the same website), based on probe sets 207075_at and 205067_at, respectively. It was surprisingly found that in Crohn's disease patients that are non-responsive to the infliximab (an anti-TNFα agent) have higher expression of NLRP3 and IL-1β RNA than responsive patients (
[5006] Said higher levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β RNA expression levels in anti-TNFα agent non-responders, is hypothesised herein to lead to NLRP3 activation which in turns leads to release of IL-1β that induces IL-23 production, leading to said resistance to anti-TNFα agents. Therefore, treatment of Crohn's and UC anti-TNFα non-responders with an NLRP3 antagonist would prevent this cascade, and thus prevent development of non-responsiveness to anti-TNFα agents. Indeed, resistance to anti-TNFα agents is common in other inflammatory or autoimmune diseases. Therefore, use of an NLRP3 antagonist for the treatment of inflammatory or autoimmune diseases will block the mechanism leading to non-responsiveness to anti-TNFα□agents. Consequently, use of NLRP3 antagonists will increase the sensitivity of patients with inflammatory or autoimmune diseases to anti-TNFα agents, resulting in a reduced dose of anti-TNFα agents for the treatment of these diseases. Therefore, a combination of an NLRP3 antagonist and an anti-TNFα agent can be used in the treatment of diseases wherein TNFα is overexpressed, such as inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, to avoid such non-responsive development of patients to anti-TNFα agents. Preferably, this combination treatment can be used in the treatment of IBD, for example Crohn's disease and UC.
[5007] Further, use of NLRP3 antagonists offers an alternative to anti-TNFα agents for the treatment of diseases wherein TNFα is overexpressed. Therefore, NLRP3 antagonists offers an alternative to anti-TNFα agents inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, such as IBD (e.g. Crohn's disease and UC).
[5008] Systemtic anti-TNFα agents are also known to increase the risk of infection. Gut restricted NLRP3 antagonists, however, offers a gut targeted treatment (i.e. non-systemic treatment), preventing such infections. Therefore, treatment of TNFα gut diseases, such as IBD (i.e. Crohn's disease and UC), with gut restricted NLRP3 antagonists has the additional advantage of reducing the risk of infection compared to anti-TNFα agents.
[5009] Proposed Experiment:
[5010] Determine the expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1 in LPMCs and epithelial cells in patients with non-active disease, in patients with active disease, in patients with active disease resistant to corticosteroids, patients with active disease resistant to TNF-blocking agents. The expression of NLRP3 and caspase-1 in LPMCs and epithelial cells will be analyzed by RNAScope technology. The expression of active NLRP3 signature genes will be analyzed by Nanostring technology. A pilot analysis to determine feasibility will be performed with 5 samples from control, 5 samples from active CD lesions, and 5 samples from active UC lesions.
Study Example 3
[5011] It is presented that NLRP3 antagonists reverse resistance to anti-TNF induced T cell depletion/apoptosis in biopsy samples from IBD patients whose disease is clinically considered resistant or unresponsive to anti-TNF therapy.
[5012] A study is designed to determine: whether NLRP3 antagonists inhibit inflammasome function and inflammatory activity in cells and biopsy specimens from patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis; and whether an NLRP3 antagonist will synergize with anti-TNFα therapy in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
[5013] The secondary objectives of this study are to: determine if an NLRP3 antagonist reduces inflammasome activity in Crohn's disease and ulcerative biopsy samples (comparing Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis results with control patient results); determine if an NLRP3 antagonist reduced inflammatory cytokine RNA and protein expression in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis samples; determine if an NLRP3 antagonist in the absence of co-treatment with anti-TNFα antibody induces T cell depletion in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis biopsy samples; and determine if baseline (no ex vivo treatment) RNA levels of NLRP3, ASC, and IL-1β are greater in biopsy samples from patients with anti-TNFα agent resistance status.
Methods
[5014] Evaluation of baseline expression of NLRP3 RNA and quantify inhibition of inflammasome activity by an NLRP3 antagonist in biopsies of disease tissue from patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. [5015] Determine if there is synergy between an NLRP3 antagonist and anti-TNF antibody with respect to effects on T cell depletion/apoptosis in biopsies of disease from patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. [5016] Determine if NLRP3 antagonist treatment reduces the inflammatory response in biopsies of disease from patients with Crohn's disease based on decreased expression of inflammatory gene RNA measured with Nanostring.
Experimental Design
[5017] Human subjects and tissue: [5018] Endoscopic or surgical biopsies from areas of disease in patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis who are either anti-TNFα treatment naïve or resistant to anti-TNFα treatment; additionally biopsies from control patients (surveillance colonoscopy or inflammation-free areas from patients with colorectal cancer) are studied. [5019] Ex vivo Treatment Model: [5020] Organ or LPMC culture as determined appropriate [5021] Ex vivo Treatments: [5022] NLRP3 antagonist (2 concentrations), negative control (vehicle), positive control (caspase-1 inhibitor) each in the presence or absence of anti-TNF antibody at a concentration appropriate to distinguish differences in the T cell apoptotic between biopsies from anti-TNF resistant and anti-TNF-sensitive Crohn's disease patients. Each treatment condition is evaluated in a minimum in duplicate samples. [5023] Endpoints to be measured: [5024] Before ex vivo treatment—NLRP3 RNA level [5025] After ex vivo treatment—inflammasome activity (either processed IL-1β, processed caspase-1, or secreted IL-1β); RNA for inflammatory cytokines (Nanostring); viable T cell number and/or T cell apoptosis. [5026] Data Analysis Plan: [5027] Determine if NLRP3 antagonist co-treatment increases T cell apoptosis/deletion in response to anti-TNF. [5028] Determine if the level of NLRP3 RNA expression is greater in TNF-resistant Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis samples compared to anti-TNF treatment-naïve samples. [5029] Determine if NLRP3 antagonist treatment decreases processed IL-1β, processed caspase-1 or secreted IL-1β, and inflammatory cytokine RNA levels.
Biological Assay—Nigericin-Stimulated IL-1β Secretion Assay in THP-1 Cells
[5030] Monocytic THP-1 cells (ATCC: TIB-202) were maintained according to providers' instructions in RPMI media (RPMI/Hepes+10% fetal bovine serum+Sodium Pyruvate+0.05 mM Beta-mercaptoethanol (1000× stock)+Pen-Strep). Cells were differentiated in bulk with 0.5 μM phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Sigma #P8139) for 3 hours, media was exchanged, and cells were plated at 50,000 cells per well in a 384-well flat-bottom cell culture plates (Greiner, #781986), and allowed to differentiate overnight. Compound in a 1:3.16 serial dilution series in DMSO was added 1:100 to the cells and incubated for 1 hour. The NLRP3 inflammasome was activated with the addition of 15 μM (final concentration) Nigericin (Enzo Life Sciences, #BML-CA421-0005), and cells were incubated for 3 hours. 10 μL supernatant was removed, and IL-1β levels were monitored using an HTRF assay (CisBio, #62IL1PEC) according to manufacturers' instructions. Viability and pyroptosis was monitored with the addition of PrestoBlue cell viability reagent (Life Technologies, #A13261) directly to the cell culture plate.
