[0154] Some of the compounds disclosed herein can contain one or more asymmetric centers and can thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms, such as epimers. The present disclosure is meant to encompass the uses of all such possible forms, as well as their racemic and resolved forms and mixtures thereof. The individual enantiomers can be separated according to methods known to those of ordinary skill in the art in view of the present disclosure. When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centers of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that they include both E and Z geometric isomers. All tautomers are intended to be encompassed by the present disclosure as well.

[0155] As used herein, the term “stereoisomers” is a general term for all isomers of individual molecules that differ only in the orientation of their atoms in space. It includes enantiomers and isomers of compounds with more than one chiral center that are not mirror images of one another (diastereomers).

[0156] The term “chiral center” refers to a carbon atom to which four different groups are attached.

[0157] The term “epimer” refers to diastereomers that have opposite configuration at only one of two or more tetrahedral streogenic centers present in the respective molecular entities.

[0158] The term “stereogenic center” is an atom, bearing groups such that an interchanging of any two groups leads to a stereoisomer.

[0159] The terms “enantiomer” and “enantiomeric” refer to a molecule that cannot be superimposed on its mirror image and hence is optically active wherein the enantiomer rotates the plane of polarized light in one direction and its mirror image compound rotates the plane of polarized light in the opposite direction.

[0160] The term “racemic” refers to a mixture of equal parts of enantiomers and which mixture is optically inactive.

[0161] The term “resolution” refers to the separation or concentration or depletion of one of the two enantiomeric forms of a molecule.

[0162] The terms “a” and “an” refer to one or more.

[0163] Some reactions for preparing Compounds of the Disclosure involve employing amino protecting groups. As used herein, an “amine protecting group” or “amino protecting group” refers to a group that blocks (i.e., protects) the amine functionality while reactions are carried out on other functional groups or parts of the molecule. Those skilled in the art will be familiar with the selection, attachment, and cleavage of amine protecting groups and will appreciate that many different protective groups are know in the art, the suitability of one protective group or another being dependent on the particular synthetic scheme planned. Treatises on the subject are available for consultation, such as Wuts, P. G. M. & Greene, T. W., Greene's Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 4rd Ed. (J. Wiley & Sons, 2007), herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. Suitable amine protecting groups include methyl carbamate, tert-butyloxycarbonyl (tert-butyl carbamate; BOC), 9-fluorenylmethyl carbamate, benzyl carbamate, 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl carbamate, trifluoroacetamide, benzylamine, allylamine, tritylamine, trichloroacetyl, trifluoroacetyl, p-toluenesulfonyl, and allyl carbamate. In another embodiment, the protected amino group can be a phthalimide-protected amino group (NPhth).

[0164] As used herein, the term “enzyme replacement therapy” or “ERT” refers to administering an exogenously-produced natural or recombinant enzyme or analog thereof to a patient in need thereof. In the case of a lyosomal storage disease, for example, the patient accumulates harmful levels of a substrate (i.e., material stored) in lysosomes due to a deficiency or defect in an enzyme responsible for metabolizing the substrate, or due to a deficiency in an enzymatic activator required for proper enzymatic function. Enzyme replacement therapy is provided to the patient to reduce the levels of (i.e., debulk) accumulated substrate in affected tissues. Enzyme replacement therapies for treating lysosomal storage diseases are known in the art. In accordance with a combination therapy of the disclosure, a lysosomal enzyme, e.g., β-glucocerebrosidase, can be used for enzyme replacement therapy to reduce the levels of corresponding substrate, e.g., β-glucocerebroside, in a patient having a lysosomal storage disease such as Gaucher's disease.

[0165] As used herein, the term “substrate reduction therapy” or “SRT” is a therapeutic approach used to treat certain metabolic disorders, e.g., lysosomal storage disorders, in which substrate, e.g., glycolipid, accumulation is counteracted not by replacing the deficient enzyme but by reducing the substrate level to better balance residual activity of the deficient enzyme. See, e.g., Coutinho et al., Int. J. Mol. Sci. 17:1065 (2016). Substrate reduction therapy and enzyme replacement therapy (see above) can have unique, independent, and potentially complementary mechanisms of action in the treatment of lyosomal storage disease and other diseases.

[0166] The general principle of SRT is that a substrate reduction agent is administered to a patient to partially inhibit the biosynthesis of the substrate, which accumulates in the absence of a specific lysosomal enzyme. As used herein, the term “substrate reduction agent” is a small molecule that reduces the number of substrate molecules requiring catabolism within the lysosome, thus contributing to balance the rate of synthesis with the impaired rate of catabolism.

[0167] As used herein, an “effective amount” of an enzyme, when administered to a subject in a combination therapy of the disclosure, is an amount sufficient to improve the clinical course of a lysosomal storage disease, where clinical improvement is measured by any of the variety of defined parameters well known to the skilled artisan.

[0168] As used herein the term “small molecule chaperone” refers to a compound, other than a Compound of the Disclosure, that is capable of binding allosterically or competitively to a mutated enzyme, e.g., β-galactosidase, thereby stabilizing the enzyme against degradation. In some embodiments, the small molecule chaperone facilitates proper folding and transport of an enzyme to its site of action. Small molecule chaperones for the treatment of lysosomal storage diseases are known in the art. See, e.g., US 2016/0207933 A1 and WO 2011/049737 A1.

[0169] α-Synucleinopathies are neurodegenerative diseases characterized by the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of α-synuclein protein in neurons, nerve fibres, or glial cells. There is a well-established clinical association between mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene and the development of more prevalent multifactorial disorders including Parkinson's disease and other synucleinopathies. See, Siebert, M., et al., Brain 137:1304-1322 (2014). According to Siebert et al., there is a reciprocal relationship between glucocerebrosidase activity (wild-type and mutant) and α-synuclein in synucleinopathiesm such as Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. This reciprocal relationship suggests that therapies for Gaucher's disease, which are targeted towards augmenting glucocerebrosidase activity or decreasing glucocerebrosides storage could prove to be provising strategies for modulating α-synuclein proteostasis and its subsequent aggregation and oligomerization.

The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with sat. aq. NaHCO.sub.3 solution. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (×3), dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to dryness. The resultant crude was purified by flash column chromatography (EtOAc/Heptane 50-100) to obtain the desired product (ex: (4,6-dichloropyridin-2-yl)(4-phenylpiperazin-1-yl)methanone).

[0945] Step 2

[0946] Method 1: To a stirred solution of the appropriate amine (ex: 2-methoxyaniline) (0.80 g, 6.5 mmol, 2.0 eq) in DMF (7 mL) was added NaH (0.785 g of a 60% suspension in mineral oil, 19.62 mmol, 6.0 eq) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at rt for 30 min. Then, the appropriate aryl dichloride (ex: 4,6-dichloro-N-methyl-N-phenylpicolinamide) was added and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 30 min. The mixture was poured into brine and extracted with EtOAc. Combined organic layers were washed with more brine and with HCl 10%, dried with Na.sub.2SO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated. The crude was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (Hexane:EtOAc, from 95:05 to 80:20) to obtain the desired product (ex: 6-chloro-4-((2-methoxyphenyl)amino)-N-methyl-N-phenylpicolinamide).

[0947] Method 2: Dppf (6 mol %) and Pd(OAc).sub.2 (3 mol %) were added over a degassed solution of the appropriate dichloride (ex: 4,6-dichloro-N-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)picolinamide) (1.0 eq), the appropriate arylamine (ex: ex: 2-methylaniline) (1.0 eq) and K.sub.3PO.sub.4 (2.0 eq) in dioxane (5 mL/mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. under nitrogen atmosphere for 2 h. The mixture was then diluted with EtOAc and water. Layers were separated. Aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (×2). Combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated. The resultant crude was purified by flash column chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc 60:40) to obtain the desired product. (ex: 4-chloro-N-(2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)-6-(o-tolylamino)picolinamide).

[1539] Dppf (6 mol %) and Pd(OAc).sub.2 (3 mol %) were added over a degassed solution of the appropriate aryl dichloride compound (ex: 4,6-dichloropicolinamide) (1.0 eq), the appropriate arylamine (ex: 2-chloroaniline) (1.0 eq) and K.sub.3PO.sub.4 (2.0 eq) in dioxane (5 mL/mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at 90° C. under nitrogen atmosphere for 2 h. Then, tert-butyl carbamate was added (3 eq) together with additional amounts of dppf (6 mol %) and Pd(OAc).sub.2 (2 mol %). The mixture was stirred at 90° C. for 18 h. The mixture was then diluted with EtOAc and water. Layers were separated. Aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (×2). Combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO.sub.4, filtered and concentrated. The resultant crude was purified by flash column chromatography (Hexane:EtOAc 60:40) to obtain the desired product (ex: tert-butyl (2-((2-chlorophenyl)amino)-6-((2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-2-yl)carbamoyl)pyridin-4-yl)carbamate).
