FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE [0002] The present disclosure relates to compounds, compositions and methods for treating gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease and gastrointestinal cancer. The present disclosure also relates to small molecule compounds, and compositions comprising the same, which bind to and/or inhibit toxins produced by various pathogenic bacterial strains. SEQUENCE LISTING [0003] This application is being filed electronically via EFS-Web and includes an electronically submitted sequence listing in .txt format. The .txt file contains a sequence listing entitled “ARTI_006_01WO_SeqList_ST25.txt” created on September 9, 2020 and having a size of ~38.9 kilobytes. The sequence listing contained in this .txt file is part of the specification and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.^ BACKGROUND [0004] Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory diseases of the colon and small intestine, including Crohn's disease and colitis. The most common forms of IBD are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis affects the large intestine (colon) and rectum and involves the inner lining (e.g., the mucosal and sub-mucosal layer) of the intestinal wall. Crohn's disease may affect any section of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, rectum, anus, etc.) and may involve all layers of the intestinal wall. The clinical symptoms of IBD include rectal and/or intestinal bleeding, abdominal pain and cramping, diarrhea, and weight loss. In addition, IBD is a risk factor for colon cancer, and this risk for colon cancer increases significantly after eight to ten years of IBD. [0005] Although the etiology of IBD is unclear, experiments in animal models and humans have suggested that commensal bacteria play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD. However, the exact nature of host-microbe interactions that contribute to IBD development is still unknown. Bacteria may contribute to IBD, for example, as causative agents, or may simply contribute to the perpetuation of the disease. Understanding bacterial functions in IBD can identify potential therapeutic approaches. [0006] There is no cure for IBD, and currently available treatments do not work for all patients. Accordingly, there is a need in the art for improved compositions and methods for treating IBD.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] FIG. 1 shows a crystal structure of BFT, a zinc-dependent metalloprotease. The inset shows the zinc-binding domain. BFT is produced by the cell as an inactive protease comprising an inhibitory pro-domain which inserts itself into the active site of the enzyme to inhibit toxin activity. The pro-domain is cleaved by a protease (e.g., fragipain or other host proteases such as trypsin) to produce an active toxin. FIG. 1 is adapted from Goulas, et al., PNAS (2010).

[0027] FIG. 2 shows a schematic of the cell-based BFT toxicity assay for screening test compounds. Recombinant BFT is pre-incubated with one or more test compounds. The BFT-inhibitor mixture is applied to a cell monolayer. After 18 hours of incubation at 37°C, cellular supernatants are collected. The activity of BFT may be quantified by measuring E-cadherin or IL-8 levels in the supernatant, for example using a standard ELISA.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION [0033] Provided herein are compounds, e.g., small molecule inhibitors of BFT, GelE, and/or ColA, that are useful in treating a disease or disorder in subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, the disease or disorder is an inflammatory bowel disease, gastrointestinal cancer, or a systemic bacterial infection and the subject is colonized by one or more pathogenic bacterial strains, e.g., B. fragilis, E. faecalis, and/or C. perfringens. [0034] As described herein, B. fragilis, E. faecalis and C. perfringens have been identified as causative agents that contribute to the development and progression of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease and may therefore be targeted in the prevention and/or treatment thereof. Strains of each of these three bacterial species produce toxins (BFT from B. fragilis, GelE from E. faecalis, and ColA from C. perfringens) that are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of IBD, and are therefore therapeutic targets. Compounds of the present disclosure (e.g., a compound of Formula I, Formula IA, Formula, IB, Formula IB-1, Formula IC, Formula IC-1, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IVA, Formula IVB, or Formula V) bind and/or inhibit the activity of these toxins in vitro and/or in vivo, and may therefore be used to treat or prevent IBD and other gastrointestinal diseases in subjects in need thereof. Definitions [0035] Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. Although any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present disclosure, the preferred methods and materials are described. [0036] As used herein, each of the following terms has the meaning associated with it in this section. [0037] The articles "a" and "an" are used herein to refer to one or to more than one (i.e., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article.

[0039] A "disease" is a state of health of an animal wherein the animal cannot maintain homeostasis, and wherein if the disease is not ameliorated then the animal's health continues to deteriorate. In contrast, a "disorder" in an animal is a state of health in which the animal is able to maintain homeostasis, but in which the animal's state of health is less favorable than it would be in the absence of the disorder. Left untreated, a disorder does not necessarily cause a further decrease in the animal's state of health. [0040] The term “treating” as used herein with regard to a patient, refers to improving at least one symptom of the patient’s disorder. Treating can be improving, or at least partially ameliorating a disorder. For purposes of the present disclosure, treating includes, but is not limited to improving, or at least partially ameliorating the effects of IBD, gastrointestinal cancer, a systemic bacterial infection and related conditions.

Compounds of the Disclosure [0063] Provided herein are compounds that are useful in treating various diseases and disorders, including diseases and disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. In some embodiments, the compounds of the present disclosure are capable of inhibiting one or more toxins produced by pathogenic bacterial strains. In some embodiments, the pathogenic bacterial strain is B. fragilis, E. faecalis, and/or C. perfringens. B. fragilis and B. fragilis toxin (BFT) [0064] In some embodiments, the pathogenic bacterial strain is B. fragilis. B. fragilis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium, and may be identified by its 16S RNA sequence (see Table 1, below). For example, in some embodiments, a strain of B. fragilis has a 16S RNA sequence that is at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. In some embodiments, a strain of B. fragilis has a 16S RNA sequence that is at least 97% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. Table 1: Sequence encoding B. fragilis 16S RNA

[0065] B. fragilis (Bacteroides fragilis) is a common commensal anaerobe (about 0.5% of the human colonic flora) that shapes the host health, including the immune system. Some pathogenic strains of B. fragilis, including enterotoxigenic B. fragilis (ETBF) strains, harbor a gene encoding a pro-inflammatory enterotoxin called B. fragilis toxin (BFT) or fragilysin. [0066] BFT, a ~20 kDa zinc-dependent metalloprotease toxin, is secreted from ETBF strains. BFT reversibly stimulates chloride secretion and alters tight junctional function in polarized intestinal epithelial cells Experimental studies originally suggested that the cellular target for BFT was E-cadherin, but more recent studies have suggested that BFT binds to a different, unidentified host receptor. BFT’s enzymatic activity is required for ETBF’s pathogenicity. [0067] Enterotoxigenic strains of B. fragilis (i.e., ETBF strains) have genes encoding a pro-inflammatory enterotoxin called BFT (FIG. 1). These strains may be differentiated from non-toxigenic strains (i.e., NTBF strains) using several methods known to those of skill in the art, such as by using PCR to detect BFT genes in a B. fragilis sample. Exemplary ETBF strains include 86-5443-2-2, 2-078382-3, BOB25, 20656-2-1, 20793-3, 2078382-3, 20793-3, 20656-2-1, 86-5443-2-2. In some embodiments, an ETBF strain is isolated from a human fecal sample. In some embodiments, an ETBF strain is an engineered strain, such as a non-toxigenic B. fragilis strain engineered to express or overexpress BFT. [0068] There are three known isotypes of BFT, encoded by distinct bft loci contained within a 6 kb chromosomal region found in ETBF strains termed the B. fragilis pathogenicity island (BfPAI). Various BFT isotypes are listed in Table 2, below. In some embodiments, an ETBF strain expresses at least one of BFT1, BFT2, and/or BFT3. Table 2: B. fragilis toxin (BFT) isotypes [0069] E. faecalis and Gelatinase E (GelE) [0070] In some embodiments, the pathogenic bacterial strain is E. faecalis. E. faecalis is a gram-positive commensal bacterium, and may be identified by its 16S RNA sequence (see Table 3, below). For example, in some embodiments, a strain of E. faecalis has a sequence that is at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5. In some embodiments, a strain of E. faecalis has a 16S RNA sequence that is at least 97% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5. In some embodiments, an E. faecalis strain is isolated from a human fecal sample. In some embodiments, an E. faecalis strain is an engineered strain, such as a non-toxigenic E. faecalis strain engineered to express or overexpress GelE. [0071] Table 3: Sequence encoding E. faecalis 16S RNA [0072] E. faecalis strains frequently harbor a gene encoding the enzyme Gelatinase E or GelE. GelE is a virulence factor of E. faecalis. It may contribute to the survival of bacteria in various host tissues and has been shown enhance biofilm formation in vitro [0073] GelE is a 30-kDa metalloprotease secreted from E. faecalis strains and is capable of hydrolyzing gelatin, collagen, casein, hemoglobin, and other peptides. An illustrative sequence of GelE is shown in Table 4, below. As will be understood by those of skill in the art, many different variants of GelE are known, for example as shown in Uniprot Accession No. Q833V7.

Table 4: GelE amino acid sequence

[0074] C. perfringens and Collagenase A (ColA)

[0075] In some embodiments, the pathogenic bacterial strain is C. perfringens. C. perfringens is a spore-forming gram-positive bacterium that is found in many environmental sources as well as in the intestines of humans and animals. C. perfringens may be identified by its 16S RNA sequence (see Table 5, below). For example, in some embodiments, a strain of C. perfringens has a sequence that is at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7. In some embodiments, a strain of C. perfringens has a 16S RNA sequence that is at least 97% identical to the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 7. In some embodiments, a C. perfringens strain is isolated from a human fecal sample. In some embodiments, a C. perfringens strain is an engineered strain, such as a non-toxigenic C. perfringens strain engineered to express or overexpress ColA.

Table 5: Sequence encoding C. perfringens 16S RNA [0076] C. perfringens strains typically harbor a gene encoding the enzyme Collagenase A or ColA. ColA is a toxin that degrades collagen. ColA plays a role in the virulence of C. perfringens, by spreading toxins in cells to host tissue. ColA secretion can also be triggered by pro-inflammatory cytokines during a normal immune response, which can lead to tissue damage. ColA is closely related to, and has similar activity to Collagenase H, an enzyme produced by C. histolyticum.

In some embodiments, the liquid formulation comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or excipient. In some embodiments, the compound is administered intravenously to the subject.

[0173] The pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered at a therapeutically-effective dose. As used herein, “therapeutically-effective dose” means a dose sufficient to achieve the intended therapeutic purpose, such as, to alleviate a sign or symptom of a disease or disorder in a patient. A therapeutically effective amount of compound in this invention will vary with the particular goal to be achieved, the age and physical condition of the patient being treated, the severity of the underlying disease, the duration of treatment, the nature of concurrent therapy and the specific compound employed. For example, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention administered to a child or a neonate will be reduced proportionately in accordance with sound medical judgement. The effective amount of a compound of the invention will thus be the minimum amount which will provide the desired effect.

[0174] The amount of compound administered will depend upon a variety of factors, including, for example, the particular indication being treated, the route of administration, whether the desired benefit is prophylactic or therapeutic, the severity of the indication being treated and the age and weight of the patient, the bioavailability of the particular active compound, and the like. Determination of an effective dosage is well within the capabilities of those skilled in the art.

[0175] Effective dosages can be estimated initially from in vitro assays. For example, an initial dosage for use in animals can be formulated to achieve a circulating blood or serum concentration of active compound that is at or above an IC50 of the particular compound as measured in an in vitro assay. Calculating dosages to achieve such circulating blood, serum, or intestinal concentrations taking into account the bioavailability of the particular compound is well within the capabilities of skilled artisans. For guidance, see Fingl & Woodbury, “General Principles,” In: Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmaceutical Basis of Therapeutics, Chapter 1 , pp. 1-46, latest edition, Pergamon Press, and the references cited therein, which are incorporated herein by reference.

[0176] Initial dosages also can be estimated from in vivo data, such as animal models. Animal models useful for testing the efficacy of compounds to treat or prevent the various diseases described above are well-known in the art.

[0177] Dosage amounts will typically be in the range of from about 0.0001 or 0.001 or 0.01 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day, but can be higher or lower, depending upon, among other factors, the activity of the compound, its bioavailability, the mode of administration, and various factors discussed above. In some embodiments, a dose of the compound administered to the subject is from about 0.001 to about 1000 mg/kg of body weight per day, e.g., about 0.001 mg/kg of body weight per day, about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight per day, about 0.1 mg/kg of body weight per day, about 1 mg/kg of body weight per day, about 10 mg/kg of body weight per day, about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day, or about 1000 mg/kg of body weight today, including all ranges and values therebetween. Dosage amount and interval can be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the compound(s) which are sufficient to maintain therapeutic or prophylactic effect. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, such as local topical administration, the effective local concentration of active compound(s) cannot be related to plasma concentration. Skilled artisans will be able to optimize effective local dosages without undue experimentation. [0178] The inhibitor (or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the same) can be administered once per day, once per week, or multiple times per day (e.g., bid, tid, qid, etc.) or week. Administration frequency may depend upon, among other things, the indication being treated and the judgment of the prescribing physician. A treatment of a subject with a therapeutically effective amount of a compound can include a single treatment or, preferably, can include a series of treatments. In another example, a subject may be treated daily for several years in the setting of a chronic condition or illness. It will also be appreciated that the effective dosage used for treatment may increase or decrease over the course of a particular treatment. [0179] The disclosures of each and every patent, patent application, and publication cited herein are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

Example 7 [0336] Screening Compounds for Inhibition of BFT in vitro - NFF-3 cleavage assay [0337] A NFF-3 cleavage assay was used to test activity of recombinant BFT, before or after addition of various inhibitors. The NFF-3 cleavage assay was previously described by Goulas et al., PNAS, 2011, 108(5) 1856-1861, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. [0338] Initially, recombinant BFT (rBFT) (0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, or 16 μg/mL) was incubated at 37°C with the fluorogenic substrate NFF-3 (Cayman Chemical) at a concentration of 2.5 μM, 5 μM, or 10 μM. After 18 hours, fluorescence was measured in a microplate fluorimeter. As shown in FIG.5A, a dose-dependent response was observed. [0339] Next, rBFT was pre-incubated with one or more test compounds at different concentrations for 30 minutes at 37°C. The rBFT-compound mixture was then added to NFF-3 and incubated for 24 hours at 37°C. Fluorescence was then measured in a microplate fluorimeter.

Inhibition of BFT-induced NFF-3 release by OH-CGS [0341] The NFF-3 cleavage assay was also used to test the inhibition activity of compounds of the present disclosure (e.g., compounds of Formula I). The data provided in Table 10 (below) shows that these compounds are potent inhibitors of BFT in vitro. EXAMPLE 8 [0342] Screening Compounds for Inhibition of BFT in cells - E-cadherin release assay [0343] Test compounds were also screened for their ability to inhibit BFT-induced E- cadherin release from HT29 cells. [0344] Different concentrations of test compounds were pre-incubated with rBFT for one hour at 37°C. The rBFT-compound mixture was then added to HT29 cells and incubated at 37°C for 18 hours. Following incubation, cell supernatants were harvested and E- cadherin was quantified in the supernatants by ELISA (FIG.2). [0345] As shown in FIG.4, OH-CGS-27023A (see FIG.3A) inhibited BFT with an IC50 of 1.99 x 10 -6 M. [0346] The E-cadherin release assay was also used to test the inhibition activity of compounds of the present disclosure (e.g., compounds of Formula I). The data provided in Table 10 (below) shows that these compounds are potent inhibitors of BFT in vitro. Table 10. BFT activity of small molecule inhibitors of the present disclosure.

**AII 1 H NMR spectra were recorded on 400 MHz (Broker) and 500 MHz (Agilent) NMR spectrometers. All chemical shifts are given as 6 value with reference to tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard. Products were purified by flash chromatography on 100-200 mesh silica gel and final compound purified through preparative HPLC. The chemicals and solvents were purchased from industrial chemical suppliers and they were used without purification prior to use. a Column: X-SELECT CSH C-18 (150 x 4.6 mm, 3.5 -m); 5mM ammonium acetate + acetonitrile; 1.0 mL/min, Diluent: ACN: H2O). EXAMPLE 9 [0347] Screening Compounds for Inhibition of BFT In Vivo [0348] Test compounds were also screened in vivo. Germ-free (GF) mice were mono- colonized with ETBF on day 0. On days 1, 2, and 3 following colonization, 50 mg/kg of the test compound was orally administered to the mice once (QD) or two times per day (BID). Markers of injury and inflammation (e.g., cecal weight and fecal lipocalin 2) were analyzed on day 4 (FIG.6A). Sample size was 5-6 mice per group. [0349] As shown in FIG. 6B, administration of 2(R)-[4-Hydroxy-N-(3- pyridylmethyl)phenylsulfonamido]-3-methylbutyrohydroxamic acid (OH-CGS-23270A) significantly increased cecal weight in ETBF-colonized mice compared to the vehicle control, indicating that these test compounds significantly reduced cecal injury and inflammation associated with ETBF compared to the control. Fecal lipocalin2, a marker of intestinal inflammation, was significantly decreased in ETBF-colonized mice treated with 2(R)-[4-Hydroxy-N-(3-pyridylmethyl)phenylsulfonamido]-3-meth ylbutyrohydroxamic acid (OH-CGS-23270A) compared to the vehicle treated control (FIG.6C). [0350] Taken together, these data show that intestinal inflammation was reduced in mice colonized with ETBF upon treatment with 2(R)-[4-Hydroxy-N-(3- pyridylmethyl)phenylsulfonamido]-3-methylbutyrohydroxamic acid. These data indicate that OH-CGS-23270A may be used to treat or prevent ETBF-mediated gastrointestinal disease in a subject, such as colitis or Crohn’s disease. Compounds of the disclosure, Example 42, Example 60, and Example 113, significantly reduce lipocalin2 levels when dosed in the 15-50 mg/kg p.o. range, QD. EXAMPLE 10 [0351] Administering BFT, ColA, and/or GelE Inhibitors to a Subject [0352] A compound capable of inhibiting BFT, ColA, and/or GelE is formulated as a tablet or capsule for oral administration. The pharmaceutical composition is administered to a subject in a therapeutically effective amount, i.e., an amount sufficient to inhibit BFT, ColA, and/or GelE in the subject. EXAMPLE 11 [0353] Treating a Subject that has IBD [0354] A subject having or suspected of having IBD is tested to determine if they have been colonized by an enterotoxigenic strain of one or more of B. fragilis, E. faecalis, or C. perfringens. If the subject tests positive for one or more of these bacteria or toxins produced thereby, a therapeutically effective amount of a compound capable of inhibiting BFT, GelE, and/or ColA is administered to the subject. The therapeutically effective amount is an amount sufficient to reduce the amount or the pathogenic effects of the one or more enterotoxigenic bacterial strains or toxins produced thereby. Disease progression in the subject is monitored. Subject stool samples may be tested to monitor the presence and/or abundance of the one or more pathogenic bacterial strains or toxins produced thereby, before and after administration of the compound. EXAMPLE 12 [0355] Screening Compounds for Inhibition of Gelatinase E [0356] Gelatinase purification [0357] Gelatinase E (Gel E) was purified from bacterial culture supernatant from E. faecalis. E. faecalis was cultured aerobically in Todd Hewitt Broth overnight at 37 o C. Nucleic acid was precipitated with 0.9% protamine solution, followed by protein precipitation with ammonium sulfate. Resuspended protein pellet was further subjected to purification using FPLC (phenyl Sepharose column). Fractions with gelatinase activity as determined by casein agar assay were pooled and further concentrated.

The fluorescence signal was [0360] Various compounds in Table 10 inhibited GelE with an IC50 of greater than 200 μM. Compound 62 showed high levels of inhibition, with an IC50 of about 16.42 μM [0361] Compound A also showed high levels of GelE inhibition as shown in FIG. 7 and Table 11 (below). EXAMPLE 13 [0362] Screening Compounds for Inhibition of Collagenase H [0363] Collagenase H assay as a surrogate for ColA inhibition [0364] Different concentrations of test compound were incubated with Clostridium histolyticum collagenase H (ColH) and fluorescein-labeled DQ-gelatin conjugate (both are components of EnzCheck Gelatinase/Collagenase Assay Kit, ThermoFisher E12055) at 37 o C for 2 hours. ColH has similar activity to ColA. [0365] The fluorescence signal was determined by a plate reader and level of inhibition calculated. [0366] Various compounds in Table 10 inhibited ColH, with IC50 values of greater than 200 μM or 400 μM. The highest level of inhibition of ColH was observed for compounds 26 (IC50 = 19.29 uM), 33 (IC50 = 0.384 μM), 42 (IC50 = 8.775 μM), 60 (IC50 = 3.825 μM) and 63 (IC50=8.894 μM).
