SMALL MOLECULE FSH RECEPTOR MODULATORS
FIELD
[001]The present disclosure is in the field of pharmaceutical compounds and compositions and therapeutic methods of their use. In particular, the present disclosure is in the field of follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) receptor modulators and their use.
BACKGROUND
[002]Gonadotropins serve important functions in several physiological processes including metabolism, temperature regulation, and reproduction. Gonadotropins act on specific gonadal cell types to initiate ovarian and testicular cell differentiation and steroidogenesis. The gonadotropin FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) is released from the anterior pituitary under the influence of gonadotropin-releasing hormone and estrogens. FSH is a heterodimeric glycoprotein hormone that shares structural similarities with luteinizing hormone (LH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), all of which are proteins (28-38 kDa) composed of a common a-subunit non-covalently bound to a distinct p-subunit that confers receptor binding specificity. See, e.g, Ulloa-Aguirre, A., et al., Front Endocrinol (Lausanne), 2018, 9:707. FSH, LH, and TSH are produced in the pituitary gland, while hCG is produced primarily by the placenta. The cellular receptor for FSH (FSHR) is expressed on testicular Sertoli cells and ovarian granulosa cells. See, e.g., Anderson, R.C., et al., Endocr Rev, 2018, 39(6):911-937.
[003]In the female, FSH plays a pivotal role in the stimulation of follicle development and maturation. Binding of FSH to FSHR initiates an increase in the level of the intracellular second messenger adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cAMP), which stimulates aromatase induction that catalyzes the conversion of androstenedione to estradiol within the ovary, enabling follicle growth. See, e.g., Donadeu, F.X. andM. Ascoli, Endocrinology, 2005, 146(9):3907-16.
[004]FSHR activation also stimulates the expression of LH receptors on granulosa cells, allowing them to respond to the preovulatory LH surge. In the male, FSH is expressed on the Sertoli cells of the testis and plays a key role in stimulating spermatogenesis. Prepubertally, FSH
WO 2024/184461 PCT/EP2024/056026
is responsible for Sertoli cell proliferation and in adulthood FSH stimulates spermatogonial proliferation and can support spermatogenesis to the round spermatid stage.
[005]The FSH receptor is a class A member of the G-coupled protein (GPCR) class of receptors, belonging to the subfamily of glycoprotein hormone receptors, which also includes luteinizing hormone/ choriogonadotropin receptor (LHCGR) and thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TSHR). See, e.g, Ulloa-Aguirre, supra. Hydropathicity plots of the amino acid sequences of these receptors reveal three general domains: a hydrophilic amino-terminal region, considered to be the amino-terminal extracellular domain; seven hydrophobic segments of membrane- spanning length, considered to be the transmembrane domain; and a carboxy-terminal region that contains potential phosphorylation sites (serine, threonine, and tyrosine residues), considered to be the carboxyterminal intracellular or cytoplasmic domain. The glycoprotein hormone receptor family is distinguished from other G protein-coupled receptors, such as the 3-2-adrenergic, rhodopsin, and substance K receptors, by the large size of the hydrophilic amino-terminal domain, which is involved in hormone binding.
[006]Annually in the U.S. there are 2.4 million couples experiencing infertility that are potential candidates for treatment. FSH, either extracted from urine or produced by recombinant DNA technology, is a parenterally-administered protein product used by specialists for ovulation induction and for controlled ovarian stimulation. Whereas ovulation induction is directed at achieving a single follicle to ovulate, controlled ovarian stimulation is directed at aspirating multiple oocytes for use in various in-vitro assisted reproductive technologies, e.g., in-vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). See, e.g., ESHRE guideline: Ovarian Stimulation for IVF/ICSI, (October 2019). FSH is also used clinically to treat male hypogonadism and male infertility, e.g., some types of failure of spermatogenesis. See, e.g., Behre, H.M., Front Endocrinol (Lausanne), 2019, 10:322.
[007]FSHR is a highly specific target in the ovarian follicle growth process in the female and is almost exclusively expressed in the ovary. However, the use of FSH is limited by its high cost, lack of oral dosing, and the need for extensive monitoring by specialist physicians. Hence,
WO 2024/184461 PCT/EP2024/056026
identification of a non-peptidic small molecule substitute for FSH that could potentially be developed for oral administration is desirable.
[008]FSH and small molecule FSH receptor modulators may be used to treat diseases, disorders, and conditions such as female infertility, male infertility, hypogonadism, and failure of spermatogenesis. Small molecule FSH agonists have been disclosed in, e.g., WO 2002/09706, WO 2009/098283, WO 2010/136438, U.S. Patent No. 6,653,338, US Patent No. 8,431,564, WO 2011/012600, WO 2014/209978, and WO 2015/196759. One small molecule FSH receptor modulator, MK-8389, was evalulated in clinical trials, but did not reach approval. See, e.g., Gerrits, M.G.F. et al., Fertility and Sterility Vol. 105, No. 4, April 2016. There remains a need for small molecule FSH receptor modulators that selectively activate FSHR.

ACTIVITY OF THE COMPOUNDS
62(R)-l-(8-methoxy-9-(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)-l-(2-methylallyl)-5,6- dihydropyrrolo[2,l-a]isoquinoline-3-carbonyl)-2-methylazetidine-2- carbonitrile
[00140]As noted above, the compounds disclosed herein have activity as FSHR modulators. This activity may be assessed by any suitable FSHR interaction assay, such as a cAMP accumulation assay as illustrated in the examples, and the other assays outlined below and illustrated in the examples. The compounds disclosed herein may show EC50 values of less than 1000 nM, less than or equal to 500 nM, less than or equal to 100 nm, less than or equal to 10 nM, or less than or equal to I nM, wherein the EC50 is the effective concentration of a compound at which 50% of the maximum response of that that would be obtained with FSH is observed.
[00141]Glycoprotein hormone receptors, FSHR, TSHR and LHR/LHCGR predominantly activate Gas class of intracellular G proteins, resulting in cAMP accumulation. The Homogeneous Time Resolved Fluorescence (HTRF) assay illustrated in the examples is based on competition between native cAMP produced by cells and cAMP labeled with the dye d2 (red acceptor) for binding to a cryptate labeled antibody (Europium donor). The specific energy transfer signal is inversely proportional to the concentration of cAMP in the standard or sample. See, e.g., Nataraja, S.G., et al., Frontiers in Endocrinology. 2015, 6:142.
[00142]Another assay uses the immortalized rat steroidogenic granulosa cell line, GFSHR-17, which stably expresses the FSH Receptor and is responsive to FSH stimulation with human FSH. See, e.g., Keren-Tai, I., et al., Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1993, 95:Rl-R10. This engineered cell line lacks the aromatase found in primary granulosa cells required for conversion of androgen precursors to estrogens. However it shows a robust progesterone response which can serve as a surrogate to verify the activity of FSHR agonists. It can be used in a cell-based assay to evaluate the ability of compounds to activate FSHR in GFSHR-17 cells by measuring progesterone released into the supernatant, such as by using a progesterone HTRF kit from Cisbio. A ratiometric
WO 2024/184461 PCT/EP2024/056026
HTRF read-out has been established to assess agonist activity of compounds and is described in the examples below.
[00143]The activity of the compounds described herein as agonists of the FSHR can be investigated using a modification of the classic FSH bioassay (Steelman-Pohley) which is based on the increase in ovarian weight in immature female rats. See Steelman, S.L. and F.M. Pohley, Endocrinology, 1953, 53(6):604-16. It is well-documented that activation of the FSHR in females stimulates granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles to proliferate and induce the expression of aromatase and luteinizing hormone receptor. See, e.g., Donadeu, F.X. and M. Ascoli, Endocrinology, 2005, 146(9):3907-16. Proper granulosa cell expansion and gene expression is essential to induce steroid synthesis and secretion to allow the follicle to respond to the preovulatory luteinizing hormone surge, which triggers ovulation of the oocytes contained within follicles into the oviduct where they can be fertilized. Therefore, it is reasonable to measure ovarian weight gain as a function of granulosa cell expansion, the number of ovulated oocytes as a function of follicle maturation, and uterine weight as a function of estradiol synthesis and secretion.
[00144]In some embodiments, a compound as disclosed herein selectively activates FSHR as compared to, for example, TSHR. This selective activity may be assessed by any suitable FSHR/TSHR assay comparing the potency in cAMP accumulation specific to the individual receptors, such as an assay illustrated in the examples (assessing selectivity based on EC50 ratios).
[00145]In some embodiments, a compound as disclosed herein selectively activates FSHR as compared to, for example, luteinizing hormone receptor. This selective activity may be assessed by any suitable FSHR/LHR assay comparing the potency in cAMP accumulation specific to the individual receptors, such as an assay illustrated in the examples(assessing selectivity based on EC50 ratios).

[00326] In a pressure relief vial, 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-l,3,2-dioxaborolane (338 mg, 1.3 mmol, CAS 73183-34-3), (2R)-l-[9-bromo-8-methoxy-l- (2-thienyl)-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,l-o ؛]isoquinoline-3-carbonyl]-2-methyl-pyrrolidine-2- carbonitrile (600 mg, 1.2 mmol, synthesized by method 6) and potassium acetate (300 mg, 3.mmol, CAS 127-08-2) were dissolved in anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (13 mL) and degassed with nitrogen. [l,l'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene]dichloropalladium(II), complex with dichloromethane (99 mg, 121 umol, CAS 95464-05-4) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 90 °C overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated and partitioned between DCM and water. The layers were separated, the organics passed through a phase separator cartridge and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was then purified by FCC (silica, eluting with 0-100% EtOAc in heptane). Product containing fractions were collected, combined and the solvent removed in vacuo to give (2R)-l-[8-methoxy-9-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-l,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)-l- (2-thienyl)-5,6-dihydropyrrolo[2,l-o ؛]isoquinoline-3-carbonyl]-2-methyl-pyrrolidine-2- carbonitrile (425 mg, 57% yield) as a pale brown solid.

[001138] Biological Activity Assays
[001139] HTRF cAMP Assay in HEK293 cell lines expressing hFSHR/hTSHR/LHCGR
[001140]As noted above, glycoprotein hormone receptors, FSHR, TSHR and LHR/LHCGR predominantly activate the Gas class of intracellular G proteins, resulting in cAMP accumulation. The HTRF assay is based on a competition between native cAMP produced by cells and cAMP labeled with the dye d2 (red acceptor) for binding to a cryptate labeled antibody (Europium donor). The specific energy transfer signal is inversely proportional to the concentration of cAMP in the standard or sample.
[001141]Compounds were tested for agonist activity in cell lines over-expressing human FSHR or TSH or EHR. For each cell line, 5000 cells/well were plated in 5 pl lx Stimulation Buffer + 0.5M IBMX by Integra Multichannel Pipet in 384-well, solid white low volume plates (Greiner 784075). These plates contained 100 nl of the test compounds (in concentration-response curve format) in 100% DMSO. Then 5 pl lx Stimulation Buffer + 0.5M IBMX were added to a total reaction volume of 10 pl. Controls (FSK for positive control; lx Stimulation Buffer + 0.5M IBMX for negative control; EC 100 of the appropriate hormone) were added in columns 23 and 24. The plates were incubated at 37 °C 5% CO2 for 45 min. Following stimulation, cAMP was measured using HTRF reagents (CisBio #62AM4PEC) as described by the manufacturer. For detection, 5 pl cAMP-d2 (Acceptor) and 5 pl Anti-cAMP-Cryptate (Donor) of HTRF detection reagents were added per well and incubated at room temperature for 1 hour in darkness. The plates were read on EnVision multilabel plate reader (Perkin Elmer, CA) to measure calculated fluorescence ratio (6nm/620 nm). Dose response curves for rFSH, rTSH, rhCG and test compounds were generated using in-house analysis tool A-plus and GraphPad Prism 7 software. EC50 values and % response of the compounds compared to maximal response of the cognate hormone were calculated for each
WO 2024/184461 PCT/EP2024/056026
compound in the three cell lines. The selectivity ratio for hFSHR over hTSHR was calculated as hTSHR EC50/hFSHR EC50.
[001142]The data is interpreted according to the following and shown in Tables 3 and 4:
For human FSHR cAMP assay: + : > 10 nM; ++ : 9-1 nM; +++ : 0.9-0.1 nM.For human TSHR selectivity ratio (EC50 TSHR cAMP/EC50 FSHR cAMP): - : less than 1;+ : 10 to less than 25; ++ : 25 to less than 50; +++ : > 50.

[001145] Progesterone release HTRF assay in GFSHR-17 cells
[001146]As noted above, the immortalized rat steroidogenic granulosa cell line, GFSHR-(ABM cat# T0605), stably expresses the rat FSH Receptor and is responsive to FSH stimulation with human FSH. This engineered cell line lacks the aromatase found in primary granulosa cells required for conversion of androgen precursors to estrogens. However it shows a robust progesterone response which can serve as a surrogate to verify the cellular activity of FSHR agonists. The cell-based assay evaluates the ability of compounds to activate FSHR in GFSHR-cells by measuring progesterone released into the supernatant using a progesterone HTRF kit from Cisbio. A ratiometric HTRF read-out to assess agonist activity of compounds is described below.
[001147]A concentration response curve was obtained in the following manner. After seeding cells and incubating at 37°C for 20 hours, test compounds were prepared at different concentrations starting at 2.7 pM with 3-fold dilutions to provide curves as a 10-point series and were dispensed to cells with the CyBi® SELMA 384/25pl. After incubation at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 20 hours, the supernatant was harvested with the CyBi® SELMA 384/25 pl and 10 pl supernatant transferred to the assay plate. Afterwards the supernatant was loaded with dyes (detection reagents), antibody labelled with Eu3+-Cryptate, and progesterone labelled with d2. An incubation step at room temperature for 1 hour in the dark followed. The plates were measured with the Envision plate reader. The progesterone present in the sample competes with the binding between the two detection reagents and thereby prevents FRET from occurring. The specific signal is inversely proportional to progesterone concentration. Compounds of the invention showed EC50 in this assay of 1650 nM or lower. Certain compounds of the invention showed EC50 in this assay of 100 nM or lower.
[001148] FSHR activation bioassay (modified Steelman-Pohley)
[001149]As noted above, the activity of the compounds described herein as agonists of the follicle-stimulating hormone receptor is investigated using a modification of the classic follicle- stimulating hormone bioassay (Steelman-Pohley) which is based on the increase in ovarian weight in immature female rats. See Steelman, S.L. and F.M. Pohley, Endocrinology, 1953, 53(6):604- 16. Immature (25-day old) female Sprague Dawley rats weighing approximately 55-70 grams are
WO 2024/184461 PCT/EP2024/056026
used in the assay. FSH (5 -10 IU per injection) is used as a positive control. Alternatively, pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) (30 IU) is used as a positive control as a single subcutaneous injection followed 48 hours later by an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
[001150]To stimulate follicle growth, FSH (subcutaneously) or a compound as disclosed herein (oral gavage) is administered twice daily for three days. Urinary hCG (25 IU) is then injected subcutaneously to stimulate ovulation, and animals are euthanized 18 hours later by anesthesia with isoflurane followed by exsanguination. Blood plasma is saved for pharmacokinetic analysis, including estradiol measurement as a marker of FSHR activation, or T4 measurement as a marker of off-target TSHR activation. Uterine tissue is weighed as a reflection of serum estradiol levels, and ovarian weights are measured as a reflection of increased follicular volume and/or corpora lutea formation. One ovary is frozen for tissue analysis and the other ovary is fixed in 4% formalin overnight and then transferred to a vial filled with 70% ethanol for histological analysis. To measure the number of ovulated oocytes, oviducts are collected and placed in a sterile petri dish containing a droplet of 100 pL of M2 medium supplemented with 300 pg/mL hyaluronidase under mineral oil. The ampullae of the oviducts is punctured with a fine needle and cumulus enclosed oocytes are released into the media. After 10 minutes, oocytes are transferred via capillary pipette into a new droplet of M2 media without hyaluronidase and enumerated.
