[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/449,431, filed January 23, 2017 and of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/492,813, filed May 1, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

Field of Disclosure

[0002] The present disclosure relates to novel sulfonylurea and sulfonyl thiourea compounds and related compounds and their use in treating a disease or condition responsive to modulation of cytokines such as IL-Ι β and IL-18, modulation of NLRP3, or inhibition of the activation of NLRP3 or related components of the inflammatory process.

[0003] The NOD-like receptor (NLR) family, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is a component of the inflammatory process, and its aberrant activation is pathogenic in inherited disorders such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) and complex diseases such as multiple sclerosis, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's disease and atherosclerosis.

[0004] NLRP3 is an intracellular receptor protein that senses certain inflammatory signals. Upon activation, NLRP3 binds to apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a caspase activation and recruitment domain (ASC). The NLRP3 - ASC complex then polymerizes to form a large aggregate known as an ASC speck. Polymerized NLRP3-ASC in turn interacts with the cysteine protease caspase- 1 to form a complex termed the inflammasome. This results in the activation of caspase- , which cleaves the proinflammatory cytokines IL-Ι β and IL-18 to their active forms and mediates a type of inflammatory cell death known as pyroptosis. The ASC speck can also recruit and activate caspase-8, which can process pro-IL-Ιβ and pro-IL-18 and trigger apoptotic cell death.

[0005] Caspase- 1 cleaves pro-IL-Ιβ and pro-IL-18 to their active forms, which are secreted from the cell. Active caspase- 1 also cleaves gasdermin-D to trigger pyroptosis. Through its control of the pyroptotic cell death pathway, caspase- 1 also mediates the release of alarmin molecules such as IL-33 and high mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1). Caspase-1 also cleaves intracellular IL-1R2 resulting in its degradation and allowing the release of IL-la. In human cells caspase-1 may also control the processing and secretion of IL-37. A number of other caspase-1 substrates such as components of the cytoskeleton and glycolysis pathway may contribute to caspase-1 -dependent inflammation.

[0006] NLRP3 -dependent ASC specks are released into the extracellular environment where they can activate caspase-1, induce processing of caspase-1 substrates and propagate

inflammation.

[0007] Active cytokines derived from NLRP3 mflammasome activation are important drivers of inflammation and interact with other cytokine pathways to shape the immune response to infection and injury. For example, XL- Ιβ signalling induces the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and TNF. IL-Ιβ and IL-18 synergize with IL-23 to induce IL-17 production by memory CD4 Thl7 cells and by γδ T cells in the absence of T cell receptor engagement. IL-18 and IL-12 also synergize to induce IFN-γ production from memory T cells and NK cell driving a Thl response.

[0008] Other intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) are also capable of forming inflammasomes. These include other NLR family members such as NLRPl and NLRC4, as well as non-NLR PRRs such as the double- stranded DNA (dsDNA) sensors absent in melanoma 2 (ΑΓΜ2) and interferon, gamma inducible protein 16 (II 1 16). NLRP3 -dependent IL-Ι β processing can also be activated by an indirect, non-canonical pathway downstream of caspase-11.

[0009] The inherited CAPS diseases Muckle-Wells syndrome (MWS), familial cold autoinflammatory syndrome and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease are caused by gain-of-function mutations in NLRP3, thus defining NLRP3 as a critical component of the inflammatory process. J P3 has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of complex diseases, notably including metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity and gout.

[0010] A role for NLRP3 in diseases of the central nervous system is emerging, and lung diseases have also been shown to be influenced by NLRP3, Furthermore, NI.RP3 has a role in the development of liver disease, kidney disease and aging. Many of these associations were defined using mice with constitutive NLRP3 activation, but there have also been insights into the specific activation of NLRP3 in these diseases. In type 2 diabetes, the deposition of islet amyloid polypeptide in the pancreas activates NLRP3 and IL-Ι β signaling, resulting in cell death and inflammation.

[0011] There is a need to provide compounds with improved pharmacological and/or physiological and or physicochemical properties and/or those that provide a useful alternative to known compounds.

[0012] The present disclosure provides compounds that are effective in the inhibition of an inflammasome, such as the NLRP3 inflammasome. The compounds are also effective in modulating of interleukins. The disclosed compounds have desirable molecular weights, physico-chemical properties, and lipophilicity, which are features that help with achieving therapeutic efficacy and decreasing unintended liabilities.

Detailed Description

[0038] As used above, and throughout this disclosure, the following terms, unless otherwise indicated, shall be understood to have the following meanings. If a term is missing, the conventional term as known to one skilled in the art controls.

[0039] As used herein, the terms "including," "containing," and "comprising" are used in their open, non-limiting sense.

[0040] The articles "a" and "an" are used in this disclosure to refer to one or more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article. By way of example, "an element" means one element or more than one element.

[0041] The term "and/or" is used in this disclosure to mean either "and" or "or" unless indicated otherwise.

[0042] To provide a more concise description, some of the quantitative expressions given herein are not qualified with the term "about". It is understood that, whether the term "about" is used explicitly or not, every quantity given herein is meant to refer to the actual given value, and it is also meant to refer to the approximation to such given value that would reasonably be inferred based on the ordinaiy skill in the art, including equivalents and approximations due to the experimental and/or measurement conditions for such given value. Whenever a yield is given as a percentage, such yield refers to a mass of the entity for which the yield is given with respect to the maximum amount of the same entity that could be obtained under the particular stoichiometric conditions. Concentrations that are given as percentages refer to mass ratios, unless indicated differently. [0043] A "patient" is a mammal, e.g., a human, mouse, rat, guinea pig, dog, cat, horse, cow, pig, or non-human primate, such as a monkey, chimpanzee, baboon or rhesus. "Patient" includes both human and animals.

[0044] The term "inhibitor" refers to a molecule such as a compound, a drug, enzyme, or a hormone that blocks or otherwise interferes with a particular biologic activity.

[0045] The terms "effective amount" or "therapeutically effective amount" when used in connection with a compound refer to a sufficient amount of the compound to provide the desired biological result. That result can be reduction and/or alleviation of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. For example, an "effective amount" for therapeutic use is the amount of the composition comprising a compound as disclosed herein required to provide a clinically significant decrease in a disease. An appropriate "effective amount" in any individual case may be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art using routine experimentation. Thus, the expression "effective amount" generally refers to the quantity for which the active substance has therapeutic effects. In the present case the active substance is the inhibitor of the inflammasome.

[0046] As used herein, the terms "treat" or "treatment" are synonymous with the term

"prevent" and are meant to indicate a postponement of development of diseases, preventing the development of diseases, and/or reducing severity of such symptoms that will or are expected to develop. Thus, these terms include ameliorating existing disease symptoms, preventing additional symptoms, ameliorating or preventing the underlying causes of symptoms, inhibiting the disorder or disease, e.g., arresting the development of the disorder or disease, relieving the disorder or disease, causing regression of the disorder or disease, relieving a condition caused by the disease or disorder, or stopping or alleviating the symptoms of the disease or disorder.

[0047] The term "disorder" is used in this disclosure to mean, and is used interchangeably with, the terms disease, condition, or illness, unless otherwise indicated.

[0048] By using the terms "pharmaceutically acceptable" or "pharmacologically acceptable" it is intended to mean a material which is not biologically, or otherwise, undesirable—he material may be administered to an individual without causing any substantially undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the components of the composition in which it is contained. [0049] The term "earner", as used in this disclosure, encompasses carriers, excipients, and diluents and means a material, composition or vehicle, such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, exeipieni, solvent or encapsulating material, involved in carry ing or transporting a

pharmaceutical agent from one organ, or portion of the body, to another organ, or portion of the body of a subject. Excipients should be selected on the basis of compatibility and the release profile properties of the desired dosage form. Exemplar}' carrier materials include, e.g., binders, suspending agents, disintegration agents, filling agents, surfactants, solubilizers, stabilizers, lubricants, wetting agents, diluents, spray-dried dispersions, and the like.

[0050] The term "pharmaceutically compatible carrier materials" may comprise, e.g., acacia, gelatin, colloidal silicon dioxide, calcium glycerophosphate, calcium lactate, maltodextrm, glycerine, magnesium silicate, sodium caseinate, soy lecithin, sodium chloride, tricalcium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, sodium stearoyl iactylate, carrageenan, monoglyceride, diglyceride, pregeiatinized starch, and the like. See, e.g., Hoover, John E., Remington 's Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. 1975.

[0051] As used herein, the term "subject" encompasses mammals and non-mammals.

Examples of mammals include, but are not limited to, any member of the class Mammalia: humans, non-human primates such as chimpanzees, and other apes and monkey species; farm animals such as cattle, horses, sheep, goats, swine; domestic animals such as rabbits, dogs, and cats; laboratory animals including rodents, such as rats, mice and guinea pigs, and the like. Examples of non-mammals include, but are not limited to, birds, fish and the like. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the mammal is a human.

[0052] The present disclosure also includes "prodrugs" of compounds. The term "prodrug" means a compound which is convertible in vivo by metabolic means {e.g., by hydrolysis) to a disclosed compound or active ingredient. Prodrugs can be prepared by techniques known to one skilled in the art. These techniques generally modify appropriate functional, e.g., a hydroxy, ammo, carboxylic, etc., groups in a given compound. These modified functional groups, however, regenerate original functional groups by routine manipulation or in vivo. Examples of prodrugs include, but are not limited to esters (e.g., acetate, formate, and benzoate derivatives), carbamates (e.g., Ν,Ν-dimethylaminocarbonyl) of hydroxy or amino functional groups in compounds of the present disclosure, amides (e.g., trifluoroacetylammo, acetylammo, and the like), and the like. Since prodrugs are known to enhance numerous desirable qualities of pharmaceuticals (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, manufacturing, transport, pharmacodynamics, etc.), the compounds of the present disclosure may be delivered in prodrug form. Prodrugs, for instance, may be bioavailable by oral administration even when the parent drug is not. Thus, the present disclosure is intended to cover prodrugs of the presently claimed compounds, methods of delivering the same, and compositions containing the same. Generally speaking, prodrugs are derivatives of per se drugs that after administration undergo conversion or metabolism to the physiologically active species. The conversion may be spontaneous, such as hydrolysis in the physiological environment, or may be enzyme-catalyzed. Prodrugs include compounds that can be oxidized, reduced, animated, deammated, hydroxylated, dehydroxylated, hydrolyzed, estenfied, alkylated, dealkylated, acylated, deacylated, phosphoiylated, and/or dephosphorylated to produce the active compound.

[0053] The term "ICso", as used herein, refers to concentrations at which a measurable activity, phenotype or response, for example growth or proliferation of cells such as tumor cells, is inhibited by 50%.

[0072] Numerical ranges, as used herein, are intended to include sequential integers. For example, a range expressed as "from 0 to 5" would include 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

[0073] As used herein, the term "substituted" means that the specified group or moiety bears one or more suitable substituents wherein the substituents may connect to the specified group or moiety at one or more positions. For example, an aryl substituted with a cycloalkyi may indicate that the cycloalkyi connects to one atom of the aryl with a bond or by fusing with the aryl and sharing two or more common atoms.

[0074] As used herein, the term "unsubstituted" means that the specified group bears no substituents.

i75] The term "optionally substituted" is understood to mean that a given chemical moiety (e.g., an alkyl group) can (but is not required to) be bonded other substituents (e.g., heteroatoms). For instance, an aikyl group that is optionally substituted can be a fully saturated alkyl chain (i.e., a pure hydrocarbon). Alternatively, the same optionally substituted alkyl group can have substituents different from hydrogen. For instance, it can, at any point along the chain be bounded to a halogen atom, a hydroxyl group, or any other substituent described herein. Thus the term "optionally substituted" means that a given chemical moiety has the potential to contain other functional groups, but does not necessarily have any further functional groups. Suitable substituents used in the optional substitution of the described groups include, without limitation, oxo, -halogen, Ci-Ce alkyl, Ci-Ce alkoxy, Ci-Ce haloalkyl, Ci-Ce haloalkoxy, -OCi-Ce alkenyl, - OCi-Ce alkynyl, -Ci-Ce alkenyl, -Ci-Ce alkynyl, -OH, CN (cyano), -CFbCN, -OP(0)(OH) ₂ , - C(0)OH, -OC(0)Ci-C6 alkyl, -C(0)Ci-Ce alkyl, -C(0)-Co-Ce alkylenyl-cycloalkyl, -C(0)-Co-Ce alkylenyl-heterocycloalkyl, -C(0)-Co-Co alkylenyl-aryl, ~C(0)-Co-C6 alkylenyl-heteroaryl,- OC(0)OCi-C6 alkyl, NH ₂ , NH(Ci-Ce alkyl), N(Ci-C6 alkyl) ₂ , -C(0)NH ₂ , -C(0)NH(Ci-C6 alkyl), ~C(0)N(Ci~C6 alkyl)2, -C(0)NH cycloalkyi, -C(0)N(Ci-C6 alkyl)cycloalkyl, - C(0)NTTheterocycloalkyl, -C(0)N(Ci-C6 alkyl)heterocycloalkyl, ~C(0)NHaryl, -C(0)N(Ci-C6 alkyl)aryl, -C(0)NHheteroaryl, -C(0)N(Ci-C6 alkyl)heteroaiyl, -S(0) ₂ -Ci-C ₆ alkyl, -S(0) ₂ -Ci-C6 haloalkyl, -S(0) ₂ - cycloalkyi, -S(0) ₂ -heterocycloalkyl, -S(0) ₂ - aryl, -S(0) ₂ -heteroaryl -Co-Ce alkylenyf-S(0) ₂ NH ₂ , -S(0)2NHCi-C6 aikyl, -S(0)2N(Ci-G> alkyl)2, -SiQbNHeycloalkyi, - S(0)2NHheterocycloalkyl, -S(0) ₂ NHaryl, -S(()) ₂ NHhetereoaryl, -NHS(0) ₂ Ci-C ₆ aikyl, -N(Ci-G> alkyl)S(0) ₂ (Ci-C6 aikyl), -NHS(G) ₂ aryf, -N(Ci-Ce aikyl)S(0) ₂ aryl, -NHS(0) ₂ heteroaryl, -N(Ci- C6 alkyl)S(()) ₂ heteroaryl, -NNS(0) ^> cycloalkyl, -N(Ci-C6 alkyl)S(0)2 cycloalkyl, -NHS(0)2 heterocycloalkyl, -N(CJ -C ₆ alkyl)S(0) ₂ heterocycloalkyl, -N(Ci-C ₆ alkyl)S(0) ₂ aryl,-Co-C6 alkylenyl-aryl, -Co-Ce alkylenyl-heteroaryl, -Co-C ₆ alkylenyl-cycloalkyl, -Co-Ce alkylenyl- heterocycloalkyl, -O-aryl, -NH-aryl, and N(Ci-C6 alkyl)aryl. The substituents can themselves be optionally substituted. When a multifunctional moiety is shown, the point of attachment to the core is indicated by a line, e.g., (cycloalkyloxy)alkyl- refers to alkyl being the point of attachment to the core while cycloalkyl is attached to aikyl via the oxy group. "Optionally substituted" also refers to "substituted" or "unsubstituted", with the meanings described above.

The term "oxa" as used herein refers to an "-0-" group.

The term "oxo" as used herein refers to an "=0" group.

[0078] The term "solvate" refers to a complex of variable stoichiometry formed by a solute and solvent. Such solvents for the purpose of the present disclosure may not interfere with the biological activity of the solute. Examples of suitable solvents include, but are not limited to, water, methanol, ethanoi, and acetic acid. Solvates wherein water is the solvent molecule are typically referred to as hydrates. Hydrates include compositions containing stoichiometric amounts of water, as well as compositions containing variable amounts of water.

[0079] The term "salt(s)", as employed herein, denotes acidic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic acids, as well as basic salts formed with inorganic and/or organic bases. In addition, when a compound of the Formula contains both a basic moiety, such as, but not limited to a pyridine or imidazole, and an acidic moiety, such as, but not limited to a earboxylie acid, zwitterions ("inner salts") may be formed and are included within the term "salt(s)" as used herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable (i.e., non-toxic, physiologically acceptable) salts are preferred, although other salts are also useful Salts of the compounds of the Formula may be formed, for example, by reacting a compound of Formula with an amount of acid or base, such as an equivalent amount, in a medium such as one in which the salt precipitates or in an aqueous medium followed by lyophilization. [0080] In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the compounds of Formula (I) are enantiorners. In some embodiments the compounds are the (/S -enantiomer. In other

embodiments the compounds are the (i?)-enantiomer. In yet other embodiments, the compounds of Formula (I) may be (+) or (-) enantiorners.

[0081] It should be understood that ail isomeric forms are included within the present disclosure, including mixtures thereof. If the compound contains a double bond, the substituent may be in the E or Z configuration. If the compound contains a disubstituted cycloalkyl, the cycioalkyl substituent may have a cis- or trans- configuration. All tautomeric forms are also intended to be included.

[0082] Compounds of the various Formulae, and salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs thereof, may exist in their tautomeric form (for example, as an amide or imino ether). All such tautomeric forms are contemplated herein as part of the present disclosure.

[0083] The compounds of the various Formulae may contain asymmetric or chiral centers, and, therefore, exist in different stereoisomeric forms. It is intended that ail stereoisomeric forms of the compounds of the various Formulae as well as mixtures thereof, including racemic mixtures, form part of the present disclosure. In addition, the present disclosure embraces ail geometric and positional isomers. For example, if a compound of the various Formulae incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the present disclosure. Each compound herein disclosed includes all the enantiorners that conform to the general structure of the compound. The compounds may be in a racemic or enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry. The assay results may reflect the data collected for the racemic form, the enantiomerically pure form, or any other form in terms of stereochemistry.

[0084] Diastereomeric mixtures can be separated into their individual diastereomers on the basis of their physical chemical differences by methods well known to those skilled in the art, such as, for example, by chromatography and/or fractional crystallization. Enantiorners can be separated by converting the enantiomeric mixture into a diastereomeric mixture by reaction with an appropriate optically active compound (e.g., chiral auxiliary such as a chiral alcohol or Mosher's acid chloride), separating the diastereomers and converting (e.g., hydrolyzing) the individual diastereomers to the corresponding pure enantiorners. Also, some of the compounds of the various Formulae may be atropisomers (e.g. , substituted biaryls) and are considered as pari of the present disclosure. Enantiomers can also be separated by use of a chiral HPLC column.

[0085] It is also possible that the compounds of Formula (I) may exist in different tautomeric forms, and all such forms are embraced within the scope of the present disclosure. Also, for example, all keto-enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the present disclosure.

[0086] All stereoisomers (for example, geometric isomers, optical isomers and the like) of the present compounds (including those of the salts, solvates, esters and prodrugs of the compounds as well as the salts, solvates and esters of the prodrugs), such as those which may exist due to asymmetric carbons on various substituents, including enantiomeric forms (which may exist even in the absence of asymmetric carbons), rotameric forms, atropisomers, and diastereomeric forms, are contemplated within the scope of the present disclosure, as are positional isomers (such as, for example, 4-pyridyi and 3-pyridyl). (For example, if a compound of the various Formulae incorporates a double bond or a fused ring, both the cis- and trans-forms, as well as mixtures, are embraced within the scope of the present disclosure. Also, for example, all keto- enol and imine-enamine forms of the compounds are included in the present disclosure.)

Individual stereoisomers of the compounds of the present disclosure may, for example, be substantially free of other isomers, or may be admixed, for example, as racemates or with all other, or other selected, stereoisomers. The chiral centers of the present disclosure can have the S or R configuration as defined by the IUPAC 1974 Recommendations.

[0087] The present disclosure also embraces isotopically-labelled compounds of the present disclosure which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the present disclosure include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine and chlorine, such as ² H (or D), ¾, ¹³ C, ¹⁴ C, ¹⁵ N, ¹⁸ 0, ¹⁷ 0, ¹ P, ² P, ³⁵ S, ¹⁸ F, and ³⁶ C1, respectively.

[0088] Certain isotopically-labelled compounds of the various Formulae (e.g., those labeled with ³ H and ^l C) are useful in compound and/or substrate tissue distribution assays. Tritiated (i.e. , ³ H) and carbon- 14 (i.e. , ¹⁴ C) isotopes are particularly preferred for their ease of preparation and detectability. Further, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium (i.e., H) may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability (e.g., increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements) and hence may be preferred in some

circumstances, Isotopiealfy labelled compounds of the various Formulae can generally be prepared by following procedures analogous to those disclosed in the Schemes and/or in the Examples herein below, by substituting an appropriate isotopically labelled reagent for a non- isotopicaily labelled reagent.

[0089] In some embodiments, the compound comprises at least one deuterium atom. For example, one or more hydrogen atoms in a compound of the present disclosure can be replaced or substituted by deuterium. In some embodiments, the compound comprises two or more deuterium atoms. In some embodiments, the compound comprises 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 deuterium atoms.

[00278] In one non-limiting example of those described, the disease, disorder or condition being treated is NASH. NLRP3 infiammasome activation is central to inflammatory recruitment in NASH, and inhibition of NLRP3 may both prevent and reverse liver fibrosis. Compounds of the present disclosure, by interrupting the function of NLRP3 inflammasomes in liver tissue, can cause histological reductions in liver inflammation, decreased recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils, and suppression of NF-κΒ activation. Inhibition of the NLRP3 can reduce hepatic expression of pro-IL-Ι β and normalized hepatic and circulating IL-1 β, IL-6 and MCP-1 levels thereby assisting in treatment of the disease.

[00279] In a further non-limiting example of those described, the disease, disorder or condition being treated is severe steroid resistant (SSR) asthma. Respiratory infections induce an NLRP3 inflammasome/caspase-l/IL-Ιβ signaling axis in the lungs that promotes SSR asthma. The NLRP3 infiammasome recruits, and activates, pro-caspase-1 to induce IL-Ιβ responses. NI.RP3 inflammasome-induced IL~ β responses are therefore important in the control of infections, however, excessive activation results in aberrant inflammation and has been associated with the pathogenesis of SSR asthma and COPD. The administration of compounds of the present disclosure that target specific disease processes, are more therapeutically attractive than non- specifica!ly inhibiting inflammatory responses with steroids or IL-Ιβ. Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome/caspase-l lL-1 β signaling axis with the compounds of the present disclosure may- U S therefore be useful in the treatment of SSR asthma and other steroid-resistant inflammatory conditions.

[00280] In one further non- limiting example of those described, the disease, disorder or condition being treated is Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is the most common

neurodegenerative movement disorder and is characterized by a selective loss of dopaminergic neurons, accompanied by the accumulation of mis-folded a-synuclein (Syn) into Lewy bodies that are pathological hallmarks of the disease. Chronic microglial neuroinflammation is evident early in the disease, and has been proposed to drive pathology.

[00281] A central role for microglial NLRP3 is postulated in Parkinson's progression. The NLRP3 inflammasome is activated by fibrillar Syn via a Syk kinase dependent mechanism, and also occurs in the absence of Syn pathology at the early stages of dopaminergic degeneration, and drives neuronal loss. The compounds of the present disclosure may block NLRP3 inflammasome activation by fibrillar Syn or mitochondrial dysfunction and thereby confer effective neuroprotection of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system and assist with treatment of Parkinson's.

[00282] In certain embodiments, the method treats or prevents a disease or disorder, including, but not limited to, a bacterial infection, a viral infection, a fungal infection, inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, colitis, intestinal hyperplasia, cancer, metabolic syndrome, obesity, rheumatoid arthritis, liver disease, liver fibrosis, hepatic steatosis, fatty liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

[00283] In certain embodiments, the disease, disorder or condition is selected from the group consisting of NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis); CAPS (Cryopyrin Associated Periodic Syndromes); IPF (Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis); MI (RT) (myocardial infarction and reperfusion injury); Gout; I/O (immuno-oncology); Asthma; IBD (inflammatory bowel disease); Renal fibrosis; adult onset Still's disease; systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis; tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS); colchicine-resistant familial

[00284] For the above-mentioned therapeutic uses the dosage administered will, of course, vary with the compound employed, the mode of administration, the treatment desired and the disorder indicated. For example, the daily dosage of the compound of the present disclosure, if inhaled, may be in the range from about 0.05 micrograms per kilogram body weight to about 100 micrograms per kilogram body weight g/kg). Alternatively, if the compound is administered orally, then the daily dosage of the compound of the present disclosure may be in the range from about 0.01 micrograms per kilogram body weight (,u.g/kg) to about 100 milligrams per kilogram body weight (mg/ ^' kg).

Pharmaceutical Compositions

[00285] The disclosed compounds (e.g., compounds of formula I, la, lb, Ic, Id, le, If, Ig, and Ih), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof may be used on their own but will generally be administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition in which the disclosed compound/salt (e.g., compounds of formula I, la, lb, Ic, Id, le. If, Ig, and Ih and salts thereof) (active ingredient) is in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier. Conventional procedures for the selection and preparation of suitable pharmaceutical formulations are described in, for example, "Pharmaceuticals - The Science of Dosage Form Designs", M. E. Aulton, Churchill Livingstone, 1988, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

[00286] Depending on the mode of administration, the pharmaceutical composition will comprise from about 0.05 to about 99 %w (per cent by weight), more particularly from about 0.05 to about 80 %w, still more particularly from about 0.10 to about 70 %w, and even more particularly from about 0.10 to about 50 %w, of active ingredient, all percentages by weight being based on total composition.

[00287] The present disclosure also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a disclosed compound (e.g., compound of formula I, la, lb, Ic, Id, le, If, Ig, and Ih), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined, in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.

[00288] The present disclosure further provides a process for the preparation of a

pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure which comprises mixing a disclosed compound (e.g., compound of formula I, la, lb, Ic, Id, le, If, Ig, and Ih), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as hereinbefore defined with a pharmaceutically acceptable adj uvant, diluent or carrier.

[00289] The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered topically (e.g. to the skin or to the lung and/or airways) in the form, e.g., of creams, solutions, suspensions, heptafluoroalkane (HFA) aerosols and dry powder formulations, for example, formulations in the inhaler device known as the Turbuhaler ^® ; or system! cally, e.g. by oral administration in the form of tablets, capsules, syrups, powders or granules; or by parenteral administration in the form of a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion for injection (including intravenous, subcutaneous,

intramuscular, intravascular or infusion); or by rectal administration in the form of suppositories.

[00290] Dry powder formulations and pressurized HFA aerosols of the compounds of the present disclosure (including pharmaceutically acceptable salts) may be administered by oral or nasal inhalation. For inhalation, the compound is desirably finely divided. The finely divided compound preferably has a mass median diameter of less than 10 micrometres (um), and may be suspended in a propellant mixture with the assistance of a dispersant, such as a C8-C20 fatty acid or salt thereof, (for example, oleic acid), a bile salt, a phospholipid, an alkyl saccharide, a perfluorinated or polyethoxylated surfactant, or other pharmaceutically acceptable dispersant.

[00291] The compounds of the present disclosure may also be administered by means of a dry- powder inhaler. The inhaler may be a single or a multi dose inhaler, and may be a breath actuated dry powder inhaler.

[00292] One possibility is to mix the finely divided compound of the present disclosure with a carrier substance, for example, a mono-, di- or polysaccharide, a sugar alcohol, or another polyol. Suitable carriers are sugars, for example, lactose, glucose, raffinose, melezitose, lactitol, maltitol, trehalose, sucrose, mannitol; and starch. Alternatively the finely divided compound may be coated by another substance. The powder mixture may also be dispensed into hard gelatin capsules, each containing the desired dose of the active compound. [00293] Another possibility is to process the finely divided powder into spheres which break up during the inhalation procedure. This spheronized powder may be filled into the drug reservoir of a muitidose inhaler, for example, that known as the Turbuhaler* in which a dosing unit meters the desired dose which is then inhaled by the patient. With this system the active ingredient, with or without a carrier substance, is delivered to the patient.

[00294] Another possibility is to process the compound as an amorphous dispersion in a polymer matrix such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or hydroxypropyl

methylcellulose acetate succinate (HPMCAS). As the name suggests, spray-dried dispersions (SDDs) are obtained by dissolving drug and polymer in an organic solvent, atomizing the resulting solution into droplets, and evaporation to dried solid particles. SDDs are usually amenable for use a variety of final oral dosage forms, including capsules and tablets.

[00295] For oral administration the compound of the present disclosure may be admixed with an adjuvant or a carrier, for example, lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol; a starch, for example, potato starch, corn starch or amylopectin; a cellulose derivative; a binder, for example, gelatin or polyvinylpyrrolidone; and/or a lubricant, for example, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, polyethylene glycol, a wax, paraffin, and the like, and then compressed into tablets. If coated tablets are required, the cores, prepared as described above, may be coated with a concentrated sugar solution which may contain, for example, gum arable, gelatin, talcum and titanium dioxide. Alternatively, the tablet may be coated with a suitable polymer dissolved in a readily volatile organic solvent.

[00296] For the preparation of soft gelatin capsules, the compound of the present disclosure may be admixed with, for example, a vegetable oil or polyethylene glycol. Hard gelatin capsules may contain granules of the compound using either the above-mentioned excipients for tablets. Also liquid or semisolid formulations of the compound of the present disclosure may be filled into hard gelatin capsules.

[00297] Liquid preparations for oral application may be in the form of syrups or suspensions, for example, solutions containing the compound of the present disclosure, the balance being sugar and a mixture of ethanol, water, glycerol and propylene glycol. Optionally such liquid preparations may contain colouring agents, flavouring agents, saccharine and/or

carboxymethylcellulose as a thickening agent or other excipients known to those skilled in art. Combination Therapy

Biological Testing Methods

Abbreviations

PBMCs: peripheral blood mononuclear cells

KCs: Kupffer cells

FBS: fetal bovine serum

LPS: lipopoly saccharides

NLRP3 activation and inhibitory assays [001123] Some of the following assays were used to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds on the NLRP3 inflammasome using a common inflammasome activation stimuli - nigericin.

Biological Example 1: Cell Culture,

[001124] Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), consisting of lymphocytes (T, B and NK cells), monocytes and dendritic cells, were freshly isolated from human peripheral blood from healthy donors. Cells were obtained through an 1KB approved donor program by iXCells Biotechnologies where all the donors were tested for bacterial and viral infections. Cells were purified from peripheral blood using ficoll gradient centrifugation.

[001125] Human Kupffer cells (KCs), specialized liver macrophages residing in the space of Disse, were obtained by gradient isolation from liver specimens harvested post-mortem by Samsara Sciences. Cells were obtained through an IRB approved donor program by Samsara Sciences and all donors tested negative for bacterial and viral infections.

Biological Example 2: NLRP3 inflammasome activation assays

[001126]Fresh or cryopreserved PMBCs were seeded in V-bottom 96-weil plate at 0.5-lxl0 ⁵ cells per well and incubated overnight at 37°C with 5% CO?, in RPMI 1640 medium with GlutaMAX supplement, 4.5 g/L D-glucose, 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), lOOmM Sodium Pyruvate, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, lOmM HEPES and 0.05mM of β-mercaptoethanol.

Freshly isolated or cryopreserved KCs cells were seeded in flat-bottom 96-well plates at 0.6- 1.5xl0 ⁵ cells/well and incubated overnight at 37°C, 5% CO2 in RPMI 1640 Medium with GlutaMAX supplement, FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin and lOmM HEPES. The following day, the cells were primed with 100 ng/mL of lipopolysaccharides (LPS; Sigma Aklrich) in FBS- free RPMI 1640 for 3 h. After the priming step, the media was removed and PBMCs were pre- incubated with serial concentrations of test compounds (0.00017 - lOuM) or vehicle (DMSO) for 30 min in FBS-free media prior to addition of the NLRP3 activator. Cells were then stimulated with 1 OuM Nigericin (Sigma Aldrich; InvivoGen) for 1.5 h. Plates were centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 3 minutes to pellet cells and supernatant was transferred into new plates for subsequent experiments.

Measurement of cytokines/ assessment of NLRP3 inflammasome activity

: ^■ >: ^■ ){ [001127] For ELISA assays ceils were seeded into 96-well plates. Post study, supernatants were removed and the levels of mature IL-Ι β, IL18 and TNFot (Quantikine ELISA, R&D systems) were measured in cell conditioned media by ELISA according to manufacturer's instructions.

Results

[001128] Results of certain compounds are shown below.

Biological Example 3: CTG (CellTitre-Glo) Assay

[001129] Viability of compound treated cells is measured using CeliTiter-Glo® assay (Promega, Madison, WI) that measures the ATP content of cells which is proportional to the number of live cells within a well. This is a counter-screen to establish that the reduction of IL-1 β levels in LPS and nigencin stimulated and compound treated cells is not due to cytotoxicity, but rather through the inhibition of the inflammasome pathway. Compounds inhibiting NRLP3 mflammasome activation ultimately increase the viability of LPS and nigericin stimulated cells by blocking NLRP3 mediated pyroptosis that would otherwise lead to cell lysis.

Biological Example 4: TNF-a

[001130] TNT ^' levels of LPS and mgericin stimulated cells is measured by HTRF assay (Cisbio, Bedford, MA). Inflammasome pathway selective compounds do not inhibit TNFa production that is solely dependent on LPS stimulation and proceeds through the TLR4/NFkB pathway. Measuring TNFalpha production also serves as a technical counter-screen to eliminate compounds that interfere with the HTRF ^' reagents. Thus compounds that inhibit both IL-Ιβ and TNFa levels are triaged for either being non-seective for inflammasome or interfering with the HTRF readout. Additional assays

[001131 ] Some of the following assays were used. Biological Example 5: Human Microsomal Stability (Eh)

[001132 ] The stock solutions of test article and positive control were prepared at a concentration of 10 fflM using DMSO as diluents. All stock solutions were then diluted to working

concentrations at 0.25 mM with 70% acetonitrile. The cofactor used in this study was NADPH regenerating system, that was composed of 6.5 mM NADP, 16.5 mM G-6-P, 3 U/mL G-6-P D. The quench reagent was consisted of acetonitrile containing tolbutamide and propanolol (serve as internal standard). Incubation mixtures containing 0.5 mg/mL liver microsomal protein and 1 μΜ test article/positive control in 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer.

[001133] The 0-minute samples were prepared by addition of an 80 μΕ aliquot of each incubation mixture to 300 y L quench reagent to precipitate proteins. The samples were vortexed, and then a 20 μ]_ aliquot of the N ADPH regenerating system was added in. The reaction was initiated by addition of 80 μL· of the NADPH regenerating system to 320 μΙ_, of each incubation mixture. The final incubation conditions achieved in 400 ixL are: 0.5 mg/mL microsomal protein, 1 μΜ ΐβεί article/positive control, 1.3 mM NADP, 3.3 mM glucose 6 phosphate, 0.6 U/mL glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase. The mixtures were incubated in a 37°C water bath with gentle shaking. A 100 L aliquot of each mixture was removed at 10, 30, 90 minutes to a clean 96- well plate which contains 300 μΕ quench reagent to precipitate proteins, and centrifuged (4000 xg, 10 min). 80 μΕ of supernatant are taken into 96- well assay plates pre-added with 160 μΕ ultrapure water, and then analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Hepatic extraction ratio (Eh) values were calculated from measured in vitro clearance assuming a human liver blood flow of 20.7 mL/min kg. Eh values of <0.3 are indicative of compounds with favorable metabolic stability.

Biological Example 6: Lipophilicity:

[001134] Lipophili city as represented by logD was calculated using LogD plugin from

( ^" hem Axon for certain compounds, as shown in the table below.

[001135] There have been multiple publications in recent years which associate the clinical success of drug candidates with their physical properties. For example, the degree of lipophilicity can be a factor to the success of drug candidates. In "Lipophilicity in Drug Discovery" (Waring, Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery Volume 5, 2010 - Issue 3 Pages 235- 248, which is herein incorporated by reference), the author's analysis of attrition indicated that the optimal lipophilicity for small molecule drugs, as measured by iogD, is somewhere between 1 and 3. Design of compounds outside of this range can introduce unintended liabilities (i.e. ADMET, promiscuity). Care should be exercised when adding non-polar atoms during the course of lead optimization in drug discovery in order to identify quality molecules capable of successfully advancing through clinical trials.

[001136] For example, a pyrazolo-oxazine described herein can offer an advantageous position with respect to lipophilicity. As an example, when compared to an analog with a similar number of non-polar atoms, the cyclic saturated ring spares the rise of -0.7 log units of clogD.

clogD 3.5 clogD 2,8

[001137] Additionally, an oxazine ring offers a scaffolding with a polar atom as well, resulting in a clogD of 1.8. This can allow for further elaboration with other substituents, such as non-polar substituents, without stepping outside of an ideal range described herein.

[001146] At hour 2 (two hours after LPS injection), all mice were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 ml of 80 mM ATP disodium salt (Sigma, pH adjusted to 7.2 before injection).

[001147] At hour 2.5 (30 minutes after ATP injection and 3.5 hours after compound dosing), blood from all mice was collected via retro-orbital bleeding into K2 EDTA tubes and plasma was prepared and stored at 80 C. Samples were shipped to the customer or vendor of customers choosing within 7 days of completing the study.

[001148] Immediately after the collection of blood, each mouse was euthanized, the peritoneal cavity was lavaged with 3 ml of ice-cold PBS containing 25U/ml heparin sodium salt, cocktail of protease inhibitors (complete™ ULTRA Tablets, Sigma, Roche), and 10% FBS. Approximately 1 ml of the lavage was collected, spun down to remove cells and the supernatant stored at -80° C.

[001149] The vehicle for Compound 1 was PBS and for Compound 2 was 0.5% methylcellulose. Compound powders were stored at 4°C. All compounds were prepared fresh. Compounds were weighed out and first ground with a mortar and pestle, then ground with a small amount of vehicle. The mortar was then repeatedly rinsed with vehicle to remove all material and achieve the correct concentration. The final solution was vortexed to create a homogeneous mixture. Cytokine Analysis:

[001150] Mouse IL-Ιβ and TNFa concentrations in peritoneal lavage samples were determined using Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes, NJ) CBA analysis kit, according to manufacturer's protocol. A single analysis was performed on each sample.

Statistical analysis:

[001151] Concentrations of cytokines were compared using Student t-test.

Results:

[001152] The effects of Compound 1 and Compound 2 treatment on XL-Ιβ cytokine production was evaluated in the LPS/ATP injection model. Female C57BL/6 mice were dosed orally with either Compound 1 at 0.5, 1.5 and 5 nig/kg or Compound 2 at 0.25, 1 and 2.5 mg/kg and the relative amounts of IL-Ιβ (pg/ml) were determined using Becton Dickinson CBA analysis kit. Levels of IL-Ιβ in peritoneal lavage from LPS plus ATP-ehalienged mice were reduced >98%, relative to vehicle treated animals, following single oral doses of Compound 1 at 1.5 and 5 mg/kg, and Compound 2 at 1 and 2.5 mg/kg, at the 3.5 hour time point (Tables 3 and 4, Figure 3).

[001153] IL-ip release was reduced >79% at 0.5 mg/kg Compound 1 and >57% at 0.25 mg/kg Compound 2 after a single oral dose at the 3.5 hour time point, relative to the vehicle treated animals. There were no significant changes in TNFa levels in any of the groups compared to vehicle treated animals (Tables 3 and 4, Figure 4).

[001154] The effect of Compound 3 treatment on IL-Ιβ cytokine production was evaluated in the LPS/ATP injection model. Female C57BL/6 mice were dosed orally with Compound 3 at 0.25, 1 and 2.5 mg/kg and the relative amounts of IL-Ιβ (pg/ml) were determined using Becton Dickinson CBA analysis kit. Levels of IL-Ιβ in peritoneal lavage from LPS plus ATP- challenged mice were reduced >96%, relative to vehicle treated animals, following single oral doses of Compound 2 at 1 and 2.5 mg/kg, at the 3.5 hour time point (Tables 5, Figure 5).

Conclusions:

[001155] The effect of Compound 1 and Compound 2 treatment on the NLRP3 dependant release of IL-Ιβ cytokine was explored in an acute in vivo LPS/ATP challenge model. Levels of IL-Ιβ in peritoneal lavage from LPS plus ATP-challenged mice were reduced >98%, relative to vehicle treated animals, following single oral doses of Compound 1 at 1.5 and 5 mg/kg, and Compound 2 at 1 and 2.5 mg/kg, at the 3.5 hour time point. IL-Ιβ release was reduced >79% at 0.5 mg/kg Compound 1 and >57% at 0.25 mg/kg Compound 2 after a single oral dose at the 3.5 hour time point, relative to the vehicle treated animals. There were no significant changes in TNFa levels in any of the groups compared to vehicle treated animals.

Materials and Methods

Cell Culture

[001156] Bone marrow cells were collected from freshly harvested mouse bones of 16 Black 6 mice, from 4 bones each (2x tibia and 2x femur). Bones were delivered fresh in complete

BMDM media: RPMI 1640 Medium, GlutaMAX™ Supplement, 1% Non-essential amino acids, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, 10 mM HEPES, 0.05 mM β-ΜΕ, 20 ng ml GM-CSF and 10% FBS.

Tops and bottoms were cut off with scissors and 25G needle had been used to wash out the cells carefully with complete BMDM media from each bone. Cells were run through a 100 μηι cell strainer before centrifuging at 250g. CD14 ^"f cells were isolated through magnetic negative selection using Easy Sep Mouse Monocyte Isolation Kit (StemCell Technologies) according to manufacturer's instructions. Approximately 2 ml of cells were run through 3 independent purification procedures. Total number of cells was approximately 12.7 million. CD14 ⁺ cells were seeded at 25,000 cells/well into 96-well plates. Complete BMDM media was exchanged every 3 days. Experiments were performed at day 9 post-seeding.

Inflammasome Activation

[001157] Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) were pre-incubated with DMSO or compounds at indicated concentrations for 30 min before being stimulated with LPS at 100 ng/ml. Cells were incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 environment for 3 hours. Cells were then further stimulated with 0 μΜ nigericin and incubated at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 90 minutes. At the end of the incubation period supernatants were collected and analyzed for cytokines. Cells were either harvested for Western Blot analysis or tested for viability using CellTiter-Glo (Promega).

Western Blots

[001158] Cell samples from 96-well plates were prepared by lysing cells in situ with 50 μΐ of 4x NuPAGE LDS sample buffer (Fisher) + 5% β-mercaptoethanol. Plates were put on a plate shaker at 700 rpm for an hour and then sonicated for 10 minutes. Cell lysates were transferred to a PCR plate and heated to 95°C, for 5 min. Samples were run on NuPAGE Bis-Tris gels (Fisher) and transferred to PVDF membranes using the iBlot 2 system (Fisher). PVDF membranes were blocked in Azure Blot Washing Buffer (Azure Biosystems) + 5% low-fat dry milk for at least 5 min. Membranes were probed with the following primary antibodies: pro-caspase-1 + plO + pi 2 [EPR16883] (Abeam), β-actin (Sigma), NLRP3 [Cryo-2] (Adipogen) Ail antibody incubations were performed in Azure Blot Washing Buffer + 5% low-fat dry milk. Secondary antibodies were purchased from Azure Biosystems. Membranes were washed for at least 3x5 minutes after each antibody incubations with Azure Blot Washing Buffer. Membranes were imaged with a Azure c300 imager (Azure Biosystems)

Results

Western Blots [001159] Stimulation of BMDMs by LPS follo wed by nigericm results in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome which in turn initiates pro-caspase- activation. During autocatalytic cleavage, the p45 pro-caspase is cleaved in to a plO and p20 fragment. The reduced intensity p45 band and the appearance of the plO band on the attached Western Blots indicates successful pro- caspase- 1 activation upon LPS and nigericin stimuli. In the presence of 10 μΜ Compounds 1, 4, and 2, the activation of pro-caspase- 1 is blocked as indicated by intact p45 bands and lack of plO bands (Figure 6).
