FIELD

[0003] The present disclosure relates to 2’2’ cyclic di-nucleotides and derivatives thereof that may be useful in the treatments of diseases in which modulation of STING adaptor protein (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) is beneficial, for example inflammation, allergic and autoimmune diseases, cancer, viral infections such as chronic hepatitis B and human immunodeficiency virus, and in the preparation of immunogenic compositions or vaccine adjuvants.

BACKGROUND

[0004] The innate immune system recognizes the presence of pathogen or disruption of the homeostasis of the host by a battery of Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) which detect a small set of ligands associated with pathogens or damage. These ligands are generally called Pathogen or Damage Associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs and DAMPs) (Takeuchi O et al, Cell, 2010: 140, 805-820). A number of PRRs have been identified over the past two decades including Toll-like receptors, retinoic acids inducible gene (RIG-I)-like receptors, nucleotide binding oligomerization domain-like (NOD) receptors, C-type lectin receptors and cytosolic DNA sensors (Brubaker SW et al, Annu Rev Immunol, 2015:33,257-290). Recognition of PAMPs and DAMPs by PRRs ultimately leads to the upregulation of cytokines and chemokines, including interferons, and recruitment of immune cells to the sites of infection. All these processes slow down pathogen replication and contribute to the development of adaptive immunity.

[0005] Cellular DNA is normally restricted to the nucleus and mitochondria of healthy cells. DNA present in cytosol, therefore, represents a signal indicating the presence of pathogen or disruption of the host homeostasis. The sensing of exogenous DNA is initiated by several DNA sensors such as DNA-dependent activator of IRFs (DAI) or DEAD box polypeptide 41 (DDX41). They signal via adaptor protein STING (Stimulator Of Interferon Genes, also called TMEM173, MITA, ERIS) (Unterholzner L, Immunology, 2013: 218, 1312-1321) by recruiting protein kinase TBK1 that triggers activation of the transcription factors NFK-B (nuclear factor kappa B) and IRF-3 (interferon regulatory factor 3). Activation of STING ultimately results in release of type I and III interferons and variety of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-6, TNF-a and INF-g.

[0006] Alternatively, STING can be activated by the second messenger cyclic

dinucleotides (CDNs)(Burdette et al. Nature 2011: 478,515-518). CDNs with affinity to STING contain two purine nucleotide monophosphates linked with either two 3 '-5' (3 '3'- CDNs), two 2'-5' (2'2'-CDNs) or 2'-5' and 3 '-5' phosphodiester bonds (2'3'-CDNs). The prototype 2'3' cGAMP (c[G(2’,5’)pA(3’,5’)p]) is a product of the activation of host cGAS in the presence of pathogen or self dsDNA and it has the highest binding affinity to STING of all linkage isomers (Zhang et al, Molecular Cell 2013:51,226-235).

[0007] The type I interferons (IFNs) are immune -regulatory cytokines that play a pivotal role in viral immunity. They induce dendritic cell (DC) and macrophage maturation and activation (Galluci et al, Nat Med, 1999:5, 1249-1255) and promote T- and B-cell survival, activation and differentiation. Furthermore they activate numerous intracellular pathways that inhibit virus replication. The clinical utility of type I interferons has been demonstrated by their usefulness in treatment of chronic hepatitis B and C (Lin and Young, Cytokine Growth Factor Rev, 2014:25,369-376).

[0008] In addition, interferons have shown utility in treatment of human cancers (Cohen et al, N Engl JMed, 2005:353,2477-2490, Tsao et al, N Engl J Med, 2004:351,998-1012). They can directly inhibit proliferation of tumor cells and may be synergistic with many approved anticancer agents. Furthermore, type-I-IFNs can act on immune cells to induce antitumor response (Musella et al, Oncoimmunology 20l7:6:el314424). Type I IFN signaling was shown to be important in tumor-initiated T cell priming in mice and animals lacking the IFN- a/b receptor in dendritic cells were unable to reject immunogenic tumors, and were defective in antigen cross-presentation to CD8+ T cells (Fuertes et al, J Exp Med, 2011 :208, 2005- 2016, Diamond et al, J Exp Med, 2011:208: 1989-2003). Consistently with these observations, intratumoral injection of STING agonists has been recently shown to induce regression of established tumors in mice and generated substantial systemic immune responses capable of rejecting distant metastases and providing long-lived immunologic memory (Corrales et al, Cell Rep, 2015: 11,1018-1030).

[0009] CDNs are believed to promote priming of both cellular and humoral immunity. For example, CDNs were shown to be an effective adjuvant in animal models (Dubensky et al, Ther Adv Vaccines, 2013: 1,131-143.

[0011] There continues to be a need for novel CDNs that activate STING.

BRIEF SUMMARY

[0012] In an aspect, this disclosure describes novel 2’2’ cyclic phosphonate di-nucleotides and derivatives thereof that bind to and activate protein STING and consequently stimulate the signal transduction pathway that induces interferons and other cytokines/chemokines.

One advantage compared to previously disclosed CDNs arises from the replacement of a phosphoester bond with a phosphonate bond that is resistant toward hydrolysis by phosphodiesterases present in tissues and bodily fluids. Such compounds may find utility as an anti-viral and anti-cancer agent, act as adjuvants in vaccines or may be used in the treatment of allergic or other inflammatory diseases.

[0028] “Aryl” as used herein refers to a single all carbon aromatic ring or a multiple condensed all carbon ring system wherein at least one of the rings is aromatic. For example, in certain embodiments, an aryl group has 6 to 20 carbon atoms, 6 to 14 carbon atoms, or 6 to 12 carbon atoms. Aryl includes a phenyl radical. Aryl also includes multiple condensed ring systems (e.g., ring systems comprising 2, 3 or 4 rings) having about 9 to 20 carbon atoms in which at least one ring is aromatic and wherein the other rings may be aromatic or not aromatic (i.e., carbocycle). Such multiple condensed ring systems are optionally substituted with one or more (e.g., 1, 2 or 3) oxo groups on any carbocycle portion of the multiple condensed ring system. The rings of the multiple condensed ring system can be connected to each other via fused, spiro and bridged bonds when allowed by valency requirements. It is also to be understood that when reference is made to a certain atom-range membered aryl (e.g., 6-10 membered aryl), the atom range is for the total ring atoms of the aryl. For example, a 6-membered aryl would include phenyl and a lO-membered aryl would include naphthyl and l,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl. Non-limiting examples of aryl groups include, but are not limited to, phenyl, indenyl, naphthyl, l,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, anthracenyl, and the like. Aryl groups can be unsubstituted or substituted.

[0029] “Heteroaryl” as used herein refers to a single aromatic ring that has at least one atom other than carbon in the ring, wherein the atom is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur;“heteroaryl” also includes multiple condensed ring systems that have at least one such aromatic ring, which multiple condensed ring systems are further described below. Thus,“heteroaryl” includes single aromatic rings of from about 1 to 6 carbon atoms and about 1-4 heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur. The sulfur and nitrogen atoms may also be present in an oxidized form provided the ring is aromatic. Exemplary heteroaryl ring systems include but are not limited to pyridyl, pyrimidinyl, oxazolyl or furyl. “Heteroaryl” also includes multiple condensed ring systems (e.g., ring systems comprising 2, 3 or 4 rings) wherein a heteroaryl group, as defined above, is condensed with one or more rings selected from heteroaryls (to form for example l,8-naphthyridinyl), heterocycles, (to form for example l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l,8- naphthyridinyl), carbocycles (to form for example 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinolyl) and aryls (to form for example indazolyl) to form the multiple condensed ring system. Thus, a heteroaryl (a single aromatic ring or multiple condensed ring system) has about 1-20 carbon atoms and about 1-6 heteroatoms within the heteroaryl ring. Such multiple condensed ring systems may be optionally substituted with one or more (e.g., 1, 2, 3 or 4) oxo groups on the carbocycle or heterocycle portions of the condensed ring. The rings of the multiple condensed ring system can be connected to each other via fused, spiro and bridged bonds when allowed by valency requirements. It is to be understood that the individual rings of the multiple condensed ring system may be connected in any order relative to one another. It is to be understood that the point of attachment for a heteroaryl or heteroaryl multiple condensed ring system can be at any suitable atom of the heteroaryl or heteroaryl multiple condensed ring system including a carbon atom and a heteroatom (e.g., a nitrogen). It also to be understood that when a reference is made to a certain atom-range membered heteroaryl (e.g., a 5 to 10 membered heteroaryl), the atom range is for the total ring atoms of the heteroaryl and includes carbon atoms and heteroatoms. For example, a 5-membered heteroaryl would include a thiazolyl and a lO-membered heteroaryl would include a quinolinyl.

[0034] A“compound of the present disclosure” includes compounds disclosed herein, for example a compound of the present disclosure includes compounds of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ila), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), including the compounds of the

Examples.

[0035] ‘‘Treatment” or“treat” or“treating” as used herein refers to an approach for obtaining beneficial or desired results. For purposes of the present disclosure, beneficial or desired results include, but are not limited to, alleviation of a symptom and/or diminishment of the extent of a symptom and/or preventing a worsening of a symptom associated with a disease or condition. In one embodiment,“treatment” or“treating” includes one or more of the following: a) inhibiting the disease or condition (e.g. , decreasing one or more symptoms resulting from the disease or condition, and/or diminishing the extent of the disease or condition); b) slowing or arresting the development of one or more symptoms associated with the disease or condition (e.g., stabilizing the disease or condition, delaying the worsening or progression of the disease or condition); and c) relieving the disease or condition, e.g., causing the regression of clinical symptoms, ameliorating the disease state, delaying the progression of the disease, increasing the quality of life, and/or prolonging survival.

[0036] “Delaying” as used herein means to defer, hinder, slow, retard, stabilize and/or postpone development of the disease or condition. This delay can be of varying lengths of time, depending on the history of the disease and/or individual being treated. As is evident to one skilled in the art, a sufficient or significant delay can, in effect, encompass prevention, in that the individual does not develop the disease or condition.

[0037] ‘‘Prevent” or“prevention” or“preventing” as used herein refers to a regimen that protects against the onset of the disease or disorder such that the clinical symptoms of the disease do not develop. Thus,“prevention” relates to administration of a therapy (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance) to a subject before signs of the disease are detectable in the subject (e.g., administration of a therapeutic substance to a subject in the absence of detectable cancer (e.g., a hepatocellular carcinoma) in the subject). The subject may be an individual at risk of developing the disease or disorder, such as an individual who has one or more risk factors known to be associated with development or onset of the disease or disorder. Thus, in certain embodiments, the term“preventing a cancer” refers to administering to a subject who does not have a detectable cancer an anti -cancer therapeutic substance. It is understood that the subject for anti -cancer preventative therapy may be an individual at risk of developing cancer. It is also understood that prevention does not require a 100% success rate. In some instances, prevention may be understood as a reduction of the risk of cancer, but not a complete elimination of the occurrence of a cancer.

[0038] In certain embodiments, the term“preventing HBV infection” refers to

administering to a subject who does not have a detectable HBV infection an anti-HBV therapeutic substance. It is understood that the subject for anti-HBV preventative therapy may be an individual at risk of contracting the HBV virus. It is also understood that prevention does not require a 100% success rate. In some instances, prevention may be understood as a reduction of the risk of infection, but not a complete elimination the occurrence of an infection.

[0039] ‘‘Modulation” or“modulating” the activity of a protein, e.g., a STING adaptor protein, as used herein refers to alteration of the activity such that the activity increases or decreases. In some embodiments, the modulation increases the activity. [0040] As used herein, the term“viral infection” describes a diseased state in which a virus invades healthy cells, uses the cell's reproductive machinery to multiply or replicate and ultimately lyse the cell resulting in cell death, release of viral particles and the infection of other cells by the newly produced progeny viruses. Latent infection by certain viruses is also a possible result of viral infection.

[0041] As used herein, the term“enhancing” refers to any form of increase in the immunogenic activity of an effective dosage of a vaccine as a result of administering to an animal or a human a therapeutically effective dose of a compound of the disclosure, e.g., a cyclic dinucleotide of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), wherein said compound is administered at any time prior to, simultaneous with, or just after administration to the same animal or human of the effective dosage of a vaccine.

An individual“at risk” may or may not have detectable disease or condition, and may or may not have displayed detectable disease prior to the treatment of methods described herein.“At risk” denotes that an individual has one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of a disease or condition and are known in the art. An individual having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing the disease or condition than an individual without these risk factor(s).

[0044] “Therapeutically effective amount" or“effective amount” as used herein refers to an amount that is effective to elicit the desired biological or medical response, including the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease. The effective amount will vary depending on the compound, the disease, and its severity and the age, weight, etc., of the subject to be treated. The effective amount can include a range of amounts. As is understood in the art, an effective amount may be in one or more doses, i.e., a single dose or multiple doses may be required to achieve the desired treatment endpoint. An effective amount may be considered in the context of administering one or more therapeutic agents, and a single agent may be considered to be given in an effective amount if, in conjunction with one or more other agents, a desirable or beneficial result may be or is achieved. Suitable doses of any co administered compounds may optionally be lowered due to the combined action (e.g., additive or synergistic effects) of the compounds.

[0045] In some embodiments, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound provided herein or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, may (i) reduce the number of diseased cells; (ii) reduce tumor size; (iii) inhibit, retard, slow to some extent, and preferably stop the diseased cell infiltration into peripheral organs; (iv) inhibit (e.g., slow to some extent and preferably stop) tumor metastasis; (v) inhibit tumor growth; (vi) prevent or delay occurrence and/or recurrence of a tumor; and/or (vii) relieve to some extent one or more of the symptoms associated with cancer or hyperproliferative disease.

Substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ⁿ C, ¹⁸ F, ¹⁵ 0 and ¹³ N, can be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds of Formula (J) can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes analogous to those described in the Examples as set out below using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent previously employed.

[0053] The compounds of the embodiments disclosed herein, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts may contain one or more asymmetric centers and may thus give rise to enantiomers, diastereomers, and other stereoisomeric forms that may be defined, in terms of absolute stereochemistry, as ( R )- or (5)- or, as (D)- or (L)- for amino acids. The present disclosure is meant to include all such possible isomers, as well as their racemic and optically pure forms. Optically active (+) and (-), ( R )- and (5)-, or (D)- and (L)- isomers may be prepared using chiral synthons or chiral reagents, or resolved using conventional techniques, for example, chromatography and fractional crystallization. Conventional techniques for the preparation/isolation of individual enantiomers include chiral synthesis from a suitable optically pure precursor or resolution of the racemate (or the racemate of a salt or derivative) using, for example, chiral high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). When the compounds described herein contain olefinic double bonds or other centres of geometric asymmetry, and unless specified otherwise, it is intended that the compounds include both E and Z geometric isomers. Likewise, all tautomeric forms are also intended to be included. Where compounds are represented in their chiral form, it is understood that the embodiment encompasses, but is not limited to, the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form. Where chirality is not specified but is present, it is understood that the embodiment is directed to either the specific diastereomerically or enantiomerically enriched form; or a racemic or scalemic mixture of such compound(s). As used herein,“scalemic mixture” is a mixture of stereoisomers at a ratio other than 1: 1.

[0098] In certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure (e.g. a compound of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc)), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

[0099] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises one or more additional therapeutic agent, as more fully set forth below.

[0100] Pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds disclosed herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, may be prepared with one or more

pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which may be selected in accord with ordinary practice. Tablets may contain excipients including glidants, fillers, binders and the like. Aqueous compositions may be prepared in sterile form, and when intended for delivery by other than oral administration generally may be isotonic. All compositions may optionally contain excipients such as those set forth in the Rowe et al, Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 6 ^th edition, American Pharmacists Association, 2009. Excipients can include ascorbic acid and other antioxidants, chelating agents such as EDTA, carbohydrates such as dextrin, hydroxyalkylcellulose, hydroxyalkylmethylcellulose, stearic acid and the like. In certain embodiments, the composition is provided as a solid dosage form, including a solid oral dosage form.

[0101] The compositions include those suitable for various administration routes, including oral administration. The compositions may be presented in unit dosage form and may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. Such methods include the step of bringing into association the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of the present disclosure or a pharmaceutical salt thereof) with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The compositions may be prepared by uniformly and intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid excipients or finely divided solid excipients or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product. Techniques and formulations generally are found in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 2 I ^st Edition, Lippincott Wiliams and Wilkins, Philadelphia, Pa., 2006.

[0102] Compositions described herein that are suitable for oral administration may be presented as discrete units (a unit dosage form) including but not limited to capsules, sachets or tablets each containing a predetermined amount of the active ingredient. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is a tablet.

[0103] Pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein comprise one or more compounds disclosed herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, together with a

pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and optionally other therapeutic agents.

Pharmaceutical compositions containing the active ingredient may be in any form suitable for the intended method of administration. When used for oral use for example, tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oil suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, syrups or elixirs may be prepared. Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared according to any method known to the art for the manufacture of pharmaceutical compositions and such compositions may contain one or more excipients including sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents and preserving agents, in order to provide a palatable preparation. Tablets containing the active ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for manufacture of tablets are acceptable. These excipients may be, for example, inert diluents, such as calcium or sodium carbonate, lactose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, calcium or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as maize starch, or alginic acid; binding agents, such as cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. Tablets may be uncoated or may be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl

monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax may be employed.

[0104] The amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the inactive ingredients to produce a dosage form may vary depending upon the intended treatment subject and the particular mode of administration. For example, in some embodiments, a dosage form for oral administration to humans may contain approximately 1 to 1000 mg of active material formulated with an appropriate and convenient amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable excipient varies from about 5 to about 95% of the total compositions (weight: weight).

[0105] In certain embodiments, a composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure (e.g. a compound of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc)), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in one variation does not contain an agent that affects the rate at which the active ingredient is metabolized. Thus, it is understood that compositions comprising a compound of the present disclosure in one aspect do not comprise an agent that would affect (e.g., slow, hinder or retard) the metabolism of a compound of the present disclosure or any other active ingredient administered separately, sequentially or simultaneously with a compound of the present disclosure. It is also understood that any of the methods, kits, articles of manufacture and the like detailed herein in one aspect do not comprise an agent that would affect (e.g., slow, hinder or retard) the metabolism of a compound of the present disclosure or any other active ingredient administered separately, sequentially or simultaneously with a compound of the present disclosure.

[0106] The disclosure further includes a pharmaceutical composition as described above for use in modulating STING protein activity, to induce STTNG-dependent production of type I interferons, cytokines or chemokines.

[0107] The disclosure further includes a pharmaceutical composition as described above for use in treating or preventing viral infection, infection caused by hepatitis B virus, by HIV, hyperproliferative disease or cancer.

[0108] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions described above are for use in a human or an animal.

[0109] The disclosure further includes compounds of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), for administration as a single active ingredient of a pharmaceutically acceptable composition which can be prepared by conventional methods known in the art, for example by binding the active ingredient to a pharmaceutically acceptable, therapeutically inert organic and/or inorganic carrier or excipient, or by mixing therewith.

[0110] In one aspect, provided herein is the use of a compound of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ila), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), as a second or other active ingredient having a synergistic effect with other active ingredients in known drugs, or administration of the compound of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ila), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), together with such drugs.

[0114] The Stimulator of interferon genes (STING) adaptor protein, also known as STING, STING protein, transmembrane protein 173 (TMEM173), MPYS, mediator of IRF3 activation (MITA), or endoplasmic reticulum interferon stimulator (ERIS), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMEM173 gene (UniProt code Q86WV6; NCBI Reference Sequences: NP_938023.l (isoform 1) and NP_00l288667 (isoform 2)). STING adaptor protein is believed to function as both a direct cytosolic DNA sensor (CDS) and an adaptor protein in Type I interferon signaling through different molecular mechanisms. STING adaptor protein has been shown to activate downstream transcription factors STAT6 and IRF3 through TBK1, and NF-kB through IKKb, which can effect an antiviral response or innate immune response against an intracellular pathogen. STING adaptor protein plays a role in innate immunity by inducing type I interferon production when cells are infected with intracellular pathogens, such as viruses, mycobacteria and intracellular parasites. Type I interferon, mediated by STING adaptor protein, protects infected cells and nearby cells from local infection by autocrine and paracrine signaling.

[0115] Further provided is a method of preventing or treating a disease or condition responsive to the modulation of STING adaptor protein, comprising administering to a human or animal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclic dinucleotide provided herein, including compounds of Formula (I), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), or an enantiomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof.

[0116] Further provided is a method of inducing a STING adaptor protein-dependent type I interferon, cytokine or chemokine in a human or animal, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclic dinucleotide provided herein, including compounds of Formula (J), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), or an enantiomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof.

[0117] Activation of STING adaptor protein in turn activates protein kinase TBK1, which subsequently activates downstream transcription factors NF-kB and IRF-3. Activation of STING adaptor protein ultimately is believed to result in the release of type I and III interferons as well as a variety of cytokines and chemokines such as IL-6, TNF-a and INF-g. Accordingly, induction of a STING adaptor protein-dependent type I interferon, cytokine or chemokine in a human or animal results in the activation of one or more of NF-kB, IRF-3, a type I interferon, a type III interferon, IL-6, TNF-a, and INF-g in said human or animal.

[0118] Further provided is a method of treating or preventing viral infection, e.g., infection by hepatitis B or HIV, comprising administering to a human or animal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a cyclic dinucleotide provided herein, including compounds of Formula (I), (I), (la), (Ha), (Ilia), (Illb), (IIIc), (IVa), (IVb), and/or (IVc), or an enantiomer, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, or solvate thereof.

IX. EXAMPLES

[0352] The embodiments are also directed to processes and intermediates useful for preparing the subject compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.

[0353] Many general references providing commonly known chemical synthetic schemes and conditions useful for synthesizing the disclosed compounds are available (see, e.g., Smith, March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 7 ^th edition, Wiley-Interscience, 2013.) [0354] Compounds as described herein can be purified by any of the means known in the art, including chromatographic means, such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), preparative thin layer chromatography, flash column chromatography and ion exchange chromatography. Any suitable stationary phase can be used, including normal and reversed phases as well as ionic resins. Most typically the disclosed compounds are purified via silica gel and/or alumina chromatography. See, e.g., Introduction to Modem Liquid Chromatography, 2nd ed., ed. L. R. Snyder and J. J. Kirkland, John Wiley and Sons, 1979; and Thin Layer Chromatography, E. Stahl (ed.), Springer-Verlag, New York, 1969.

[0355] During any of the processes for preparation of the subject compounds, it may be necessary and/or desirable to protect sensitive or reactive groups on any of the molecules concerned. This may be achieved by means of conventional protecting groups as described in standard works, such as T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts,“Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” 4 ^th ed., Wiley, New York 2006. The protecting groups may be removed at a convenient subsequent stage using methods known from the art.

[0356] Exemplary chemical entities useful in methods of the embodiments will now be described by reference to illustrative synthetic schemes for their general preparation herein and the specific examples that follow. Artisans will recognize that, to obtain the various compounds herein, starting materials may be suitably selected so that the ultimately desired substituents will be carried through the reaction scheme with or without protection as appropriate to yield the desired product. Alternatively, it may be necessary or desirable to employ, in the place of the ultimately desired substituent, a suitable group that may be carried through the reaction scheme and replaced as appropriate with the desired substituent.

Furthermore, one of skill in the art will recognize that the transformations shown in the schemes below may be performed in any order that is compatible with the functionality of the particular pendant groups. Each of the reactions depicted in the general schemes is preferably run at a temperature from about 0 °C to the reflux temperature of the organic solvent used.

[0357] The Examples provided herein describe the synthesis of compounds disclosed herein as well as intermediates used to prepare the compounds. It is to be understood that individual steps described herein may be combined. It is also to be understood that separate batches of a compound may be combined and then carried forth in the next synthetic step. [0358] In the following description of the Examples, specific embodiments are described. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice certain embodiments of the present disclosure. Other embodiments may be utilized and logical and other changes may be made without departing from the scope of the disclosure. The following description is, therefore, not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0359] The methods of the present disclosure generally provide a specific enantiomer or diastereomer as the desired product, although the stereochemistry of the enantiomer or diastereomer was not determined in all cases. When the stereochemistry of the specific stereocenter in the enantiomer or diastereomer is not determined, the compound is drawn without showing any stereochemistry at that specific stereocenter even though the compound can be substantially enantiomerically or disatereomerically pure.

[0360] Representative syntheses of compounds of the present disclosure are described in schemes below, and the particular examples that follow.

[0361] The specific 2'2'-cyclic dinucleotides detailed in the Examples were synthesized according to the general synthetic method described below. Compounds were named using ChemDraw Professional ver. 17.0.0.206 (121) (PerkinElmer Informatics, Inc., Cambridge, MA USA) unless otherwise indicated.

[0397] A cyclic dinucleotide was determined to be a STING agonist: (A) if it demonstrated binding to the AQ allelic form of human STING protein with thermal shift of > 0.5 °C in the STING Differential Scanning Fluorimetry Assay (DSF), and (B) if it demonstrated STING activation through IRF-3 dependent expression of firefly luciferase reporter with EC50 <100 pmol.l ¹ .

ISRE reporter plasmid (pGL64.27-4xlSRE)

[0398] Two complementary oligonucleotides of the sequence

AAAGATCTTGGAAAGTGAAACCTTGGAAAACGAAACTGGACAAAGGGAAACTG CAGAAACTGAAACAAAGCTTAA (SEQ ID NO: 1) and

TTAAGCTTTGTTTCAGTTTCTGCAGTTTCCCTTTGTCCAGTTTCGTTTTCCAAGGTT TCACTTTCCAAGATCTTT (SEQ ID NO:2) containing four interferon-sensitive response elements (ISRE) were synthesized by Sigma Aldrich (Czech Republic, Prague). The oligonucleotides were mixed in equal molar amounts, hybridized, and cleaved by restriction endonucleases Hindlll (cat. #. R0104S, NEB, Ipswich, USA) and Bglll (cat. # R0144S, NEB, Ipswich, USA). Ultimately, they were ligated into plasmid pGL4.27 (cat. # E6651, Promega, Madison, USA) linearized with the same enzymes. As result the sequence with four ISRE sites was placed upstream of the minimum promoter of firefly luciferase reporter gene. 293T wtSTTNG-FL reporter cells

[0399] 293T cells (cat. # CRL-3216, ATCC, Manassas, USA) were seeded a day before transfection at density 125,000 cells per cm ² onto poly-D-lysine (cat. # P6407, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) coated six well plates in antibiotic free DMEM with high glucose (cat. # D5796, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS (cat. # S1520, Biowest, Riverside, USA). On the day of transfection, 2.5 pig of the plasmid pUNOl-hSTING-WT (cat. # punol-hstingwt, InvivoGen, San Diego, USA,) encoding human wild type STING (WT STING) was diluted in 125 pL OptiMEM medium (cat. # 31985062, ThermoFisher, Waltham, USA) and mixed with 125 pF of the same medium containing 12.5 pL of Lipofectamine 2000 (cat. # 11668019, ThermoFisher, Waltham, USA). After 5 minutes incubation at room temperature (RT), 250 pF of the mixture was added dropwise to the cells in one well. Cells were incubated 36 hours at 37 °C with 5% CO2, and then detached with 0.05% Trypsin and 0.22 g/F EDTA (both cat. # F0941, Biowest, Riverside, USA).

[0400] Transfected cells were seeded onto poly-D-lysine coated six well plates at density 50,000 cells per 1 cm ² in DMEM medium with high glucose containing 10% heat inactivated FBS, 30pg/mF blasticidin (cat. # ant-bl-05, InvivoGen, San Diego, USA), 0.06 mg/ml Penicillin G and O.lmg/ml Streptomycin Sulfate (both cat. #. F0018, Biowest, Riverside, USA). The medium was replenished every 3 - 4 days until visible colonies of cells resistant to blasticidin were formed.

[0401] Blasticidin resistant cells stably expressing WT STING were further transfected with pGF64.27-4xISRE plasmid following the same procedure as described above. The transfected cells were selected for the resistance to 300 pg/mF hygromycin (cat. #. 10687010, ThermoFisher, Waltham, USA) in DMEM with high glucose containing 10% heat inactivated FBS, 30pg/mF blasticidin, 0.06 mg/ml Penicillin G and 0.1 mg/ml Streptomycin Sulfate. Homogeneous culture of stably double transfected cells was prepared by limiting dilution of cells in 96 well plates and wells with cells were selected that originated from a single cell. These cells were expanded, and expression of WT STING was confirmed by western blot using monoclonal mouse anti STING antibodies (cat. #. MAB7169, 1: 1000 dilution; 2° antibody cat. #. HAF007, 1:2000 dilution, both from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA), and by induction of firefly luciferase expression in the presence of 50 pM STING agonist 2’3’ cGAMP (cat. # tlrl-nacga23, InvivoGen, San Diego, USA). Genomic DNA from the transfected cells was amplified with primers pUNOl_Seq_F (TGCTTGCTCAACTCTACGTC) (SEQ ID NO: 3) and pUNOl_Seq_R (GTGGTTTGTCCAAACTCATC) (SEQ ID NO:4) that were complementary to pUNOl plasmid and the presence of WT STING gene in the transfected cells was confirmed by DNA sequencing.

Digitonin Assay using 293T wtSTING-FL reporter cells

[0402] 293T wtSTING-FL cells were seeded at density of 250,000 cells per cm ² onto 96 well poly-D-lysine coated plates in 100 mΐ DMEM with high glucose supplemented with 10% heat inactivated FBS. The medium was removed next day and three fold serial dilutions of compounds in Digitonin buffer containing 50 mmol.l ¹ HEPES (cat. # H3375, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) pH 7.0, 100 mmol.l ¹ KC1, 3 mmol.l ¹ MgCh, 0.1 mmol.l ¹ DTT (cat. # D0632, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), 85 mmol.l ¹ Sucrose (cat. # S7903, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), 0.2% BSA (cat. # A2153, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), 1 mmol.l ¹ ATP (cat. # A1852, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), 0.1 mmol.l ¹ GTP (cat. # G8877, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), and 10 pg/mL Digitonin A (cat. # D141, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) were added to the cells. The buffer was removed after 30 minutes incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2, the cells were washed once with 100 mΐ of cultivation medium, and 100 mΐ of medium was added to each well. The plates with cells were incubated for 5 hours at 37°C with 5% CO2, 50m1 of the medium was removed and 30 mΐ of ONE-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System reagent (cat. # E6120, Promega, Madison, USA) was added to each well. Luminescence was read on Synergy Hl (Biotek, Winooski, USA). GrafPad Prism (La Jolla, USA) was used to calculate the 50% effective concentration (EC50) from an 8-point dose- response curve. Control compounds 3'3'-c-di-GMP (cat. # tlrl-nacdg), 3'3'-c -di-AMP (cat. # tlrl-nacda), 3'3'-cGAMP (cat. # tlrl-nacga), 2'3'-cGAMP (cat. # tlrl-nacga23), and 2'2'- cGAMP (cat. # tlrl-nacga22) were purchased from Invivogen (San Diego, USA).

WT STING and AO STING proteins

[0403] Both WT and AQ human STING (G230A-R293Q) cDNA were amplified by the use of PCR (Phusion® High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, cat. # M0530S, NEB, Ipswich, USA) using oligonucleotides hSTINGl40-BamH-For

(GTGGGATCCGCCCCAGCTGAGATCTCTGCAG) (SEQ ID NO:5) and hSTING379-Not- Rev3 (TATGCGGCCGCCTATTACACAGTAACCTCTTCCTTTTC) (SEQ ID NO:6) from pUNOl -hSTING-WT (cat. # punol-hstingwt, InvivoGen, San Diego, USA) and pUNOl - hSTING-HAQ plasmids (punol-hsting-haq, InvivoGen, San Diego, USA). Purified PCR products were cleaved with restriction enzymes BamHI (cat. # R0136S, NEB, Ipswich, USA) and Notl (cat. # R0189S, NEB, Ipswich, USA) and cloned into the pSUMO vector linearized with the identical enzymes. Plasmid pSUMO was created by introducing 8-His-SUMO sequence between Ndel and BamHI sites of pHis-parallel2 plasmid (Clontech, Moutain View, USA). pSUMO-STING WT or pSUMO-STING AQ plasmids thus encoded truncated human WT STING or AQ STING (amino acid residues 140-343) with N-terminal 8xHis and SUMO tag.

[0404] The recombinant WT STING and AQ STING proteins were overexpressed in Rosetta-gami B (DE3) competent cells (cat. # 71136-3, Merck Millipore, Billerica, USA). Bacterial pellets were re-suspended in ice-cold lysis buffer containing 50 mmol.l ¹ TrisCl (cat. # T1503, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) pH 8.0, 300 mmol.l ¹ NaCl, 3 mmol.l ¹ b- mercaptoethanol (cat. # M6250, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic), 10% glycerol (cat. # G5516, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) and 20 mmol.l ¹ imidazole (cat. # 15513, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) using Dounce homogenizer. DNase I (cat. # D5025, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) and RNase A (cat. # R6513, Sigma Aldrich, Czech Republic) were added (final concentration 50 pg/ml) together with MgCh (final concentration 5 mmol.l ¹ ) to the homogenate and bacteria were lysed using French Press G-M™ High-Pressure Cell Press Homogenizer (1500 psi, 3 cycles). Lysate was spun 30,000 g for 20 minutes and supernatant was gently stirred with Ni-NTA resin (cat. # 745400.25 Macherey-Nagel, Diiren, Germany) for 30 minutes. The resin was poured into a chromatography column, washed with 50 ml buffer A (50 mmol.l ¹ TrisCl (pH 8.0), 800 mmol.l ¹ NaCl, 3 mmol.l ¹ b-mercaptol; 10% glycerol; 20 mmol.l ¹ imidazole) and 8-His-SUMO tagged STING proteins were eluted with 15 ml buffer A containing 300 mmol.l ¹ imidazole. The eluted proteins were cleaved with recombinant SUMO protease (80 pg/ml of protein solution, cat. # 12588018, ThermoFisher, Waltham, USA). The proteins were further purified by size exclusion chromatography using HiLoad 16/60 Superdex 75 (cat. # 28989333, GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences, Pittsburgh, USA) in 50 mmol.l ¹ Tris Cl buffer pH 7.4 containing 150 mmol.l ¹ NaCl, and 10% glycerol.

Proteins were concentrated with Amicon® Ultra-l5 10 K device (cat. # UFC901008, Merck Millipore, Billerica, USA) and flash frozen in liquid N ₂ .

Differential Scanning Fluorimetrv with WT STING and AQ STING

[0409] WT and AQ allelic forms of STING protein were diluted to the final concentration 0.1 mg/ml in 100 mmol.l ¹ TrisCl buffer pH 7.4 containing, 150 mmol.l ¹ NaCl, 1 :500 SYPRO Orange (cat. # S6650, ThermoFisher, Waltham, USA) and 150 mM CDN or water.

20 pL solutions of the reaction mixtures were pipetted in triplicates into 96 well optical reaction plates and thermal denaturation of samples were performed on real time PCR cycler (LightCycler ® 480 Instrument II - Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The first derivative of the thermal denaturation curves was performed to calculate denaturing temperatures of STING - CDN complexes and STING apoproteins. The thermal shift for each CDN was calculated by subtracting the average denaturing temperature of STING apoprotein from the average denaturing temperature of STING CDN complex. [0410] Table 5.
