Definitions

  • the present disclosure provides advantageous compounds, compositions, salts, regioisomers stereoisomers, tautomers, dosage forms, and uses thereof to treat a human papilloma virus (HPV) infection or a related disorder such as HPV-induced neoplasia in a host in need thereof.
  • HPV human papilloma virus
  • HPV human papilloma virus
  • Papillomaviruses are a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses, which in humans infect keratinocytes of skin and mucous membranes including in the cervical area. HPV infections can cause cellular transformations in the human patient that have not yet progressed to cancer but have reached the stage of neoplasia.
  • HPV-induced neoplasia forms include cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (“CIN”), anal intraepithelial neoplasia (“AIN”), perianal intraepithelial neoplasia (“PAIN”), vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (“VIN”), penile intraepithelial neoplasia (“PIN”), and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (“VAIN”).
  • Cancers caused by HPV include cervical, anal, perianal, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and oropharyngeal cancer.
  • HPV can cause viral infection, neoplasia and cancer.
  • Most of the cancer-causing HPV types are from the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species and include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82.
  • the most common cancer-causing HPV types are 16 and 18.
  • the causal role of HPV in cancer of the cervix has been firmly established biologically and epidemiologically. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is necessary to promote progression of pre-malignant stages to invasive cancer.
  • Oncogenic HPV types are detected in almost all cervical cancer specimens, with types 16 and 18 accounting for about 70% of cervical cancers and about 50% of high-grade lesions. The majority of venereal warts are caused by the low-risk HPV types 6 and 11.
  • the cervical epithelium is composed of several layers of tissue and is referred to as stratified squamous epithelium.
  • the layers are the superficial cell layer, the intermediate cell layer, the parabasal cell layer and the basal cell layer. It is essential that a topical drug for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is able to penetrate these multiple layers of tissue to adequately reach and treat the transformed cells. This is a daunting task because the cells are tightly bound and without blood vessels.
  • Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is most often treated by observation (the wait and see approach) or by excision or ablation of the cervical transformation zone.
  • Techniques include cryotherapy, laser therapy, loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP) and cone biopsy. All of these surgical procedures damage the affected areas and can lead to scarring.
  • LEEP loop electrosurgical procedure
  • the most common intervention, LEEP is effective in 60-90% of cases, however, it can be a painful procedure and may be associated with a significantly increased risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and negative psychological outcomes.
  • no drug has been approved to replace or combine with these surgical methods.
  • Cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (cHSIL), sometimes referred to as CIN2 and CIN3, is a disease caused by the abnormal hyperproliferation (dysplasia) of squamous cells in the cervical epithelium (Waxman, A. G., et. al 2012. “Revised terminology for cervical histopathology and its implications for management of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix”. Obstet Gynecol, 120, 1465-71).
  • Hyperproliferation usually occurs where the simple columnar, endometrial-type epithelium of the endocervix transitions to the stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix; this region is referred to as the “transformation zone” (Sellers, J. W. & Sankaranarayanan, R. 2003. An introduction to the anatomy of the uterine cervix. Colposcopy and Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia: A Beginners' Manual). Cervical HSIL is classified as a pre- cancerous condition because apoptosis is impaired in these hyperproliferating cells, which can lead to the accumulation of genetic alterations that transform the cells into cancer.
  • the probability that the patient’s immune system will be sufficiently activated to clear lesions diminishes over time and is contingent upon a variety of factors including the patient’s immunocompetency, lifestyle (e.g., smoking), and nutritional status (Schiffman, M., et al 2011. “Human papillomavirus testing in the prevention of cervical cancer”. J Natl Cancer Inst, 103, 368-83).
  • Artesunate is a known WHO-approved anti-malarial agent.
  • the cytotoxic agent is delivered in the trial at a dosage, for example, of 50 to 200 mg for a 5-day cycle on weeks 0, 2 and 4.
  • the artesunate vaginal inserts are self-administered at bedtime with a vaginal applicator, followed by use of a tampon, which is removed in the morning.
  • Artesunate has a cytotoxic effect but is not an anti-viral agent, so does not directly stop the HPV replication. Therefore, artesunate cannot be used to treat patients who have an HPV infection that has not progressed to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Also, artesunate has some systemic exposure under these conditions.
  • Cidofovir a pyrimidine based acyclic phosphonate nucleoside, which has broad spectrum activity against DNA viruses, is recognized as one of the effective treatments for HPV lesions that have not become cancerous. It is a DNA terminator and causes cell death via apoptosis of HPV transformed cells and regression of HPV-induced tumors. Cidofovir has been tested as a topical treatment of CIN2 and CIN3. See Van Pachterbeke, et al., “Topical treatment of CIN 2+ by cidofovir: Results of a phase II, double-blind, prospective, placebo-controlled study”, Gynecologic Oncology 115 (2009) 69-74.
  • Snoeck, et al “Cidofovir, a New Approach for the Treatment of Cervix Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade III (CIN III)” Journal of Medical Virology 60:205- 209 (2000). According to Snoeck, et al., except for two patients, patients had at least partial responses and half had a total response. In the partial responses, the transformed cells persisted in the deep tissues that can lead to neoplasia. [0013] The Regents of the University of California, with Karl Hostetler, et.
  • ABI-1968 when used even up to a 3% dose, does not reach 15 ng/mg of tissue concentration for ABI-1968, and thus is not suitable as a topical drug to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The clinical trials were terminated as not successful.

Description

ADVANTAGEOUS COMPOUNDS FOR
TREATMENT OF HPV INFECTION AND HPV-INDUCED NEOPLASIA
CROSS REFERENCE
[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/624,701, filed January 24, 2024, the entire contents of which are entirely incorporated by reference herein.
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0002] The present disclosure provides advantageous compounds, compositions, salts, regioisomers stereoisomers, tautomers, dosage forms, and uses thereof to treat a human papilloma virus (HPV) infection or a related disorder such as HPV-induced neoplasia in a host in need thereof.
BACKGROUND
[0003] According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, there is no direct cure for human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV is so common that most sexually active people have been infected at some point in their lives.
[0004] Papillomaviruses are a group of non-enveloped DNA viruses, which in humans infect keratinocytes of skin and mucous membranes including in the cervical area. HPV infections can cause cellular transformations in the human patient that have not yet progressed to cancer but have reached the stage of neoplasia. Forms of HPV-induced neoplasia include cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (“CIN”), anal intraepithelial neoplasia (“AIN”), perianal intraepithelial neoplasia (“PAIN”), vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (“VIN”), penile intraepithelial neoplasia (“PIN”), and vaginal intraepithelial neoplasia (“VAIN”). Cancers caused by HPV include cervical, anal, perianal, penile, vaginal, vulvar, and oropharyngeal cancer.
[0005] Thus, HPV can cause viral infection, neoplasia and cancer. Most of the cancer-causing HPV types are from the alpha-7 and alpha-9 species and include types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 68, 73, and 82. The most common cancer-causing HPV types are 16 and 18. The causal role of HPV in cancer of the cervix has been firmly established biologically and epidemiologically. Persistent infection with high-risk HPV is necessary to promote progression of pre-malignant stages to invasive cancer. Oncogenic HPV types are detected in almost all cervical cancer specimens, with types 16 and 18 accounting for about 70% of cervical cancers and about 50% of high-grade lesions. The majority of venereal warts are caused by the low-risk HPV types 6 and 11.
[0006] The current therapeutic options for HPV and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia are adjunctive only. Commonly used drug therapies include trichloroacetic acid, 5- fluorouracil, imiquimod and podofilox. Imiquimod (Aldara™, Zyclara™) stimulates the immune system to clear the infection through toll-like receptor signaling and causes redness and swelling. Podofilox (Condylox™) destroys tissues by destabilizing microtubules which prevents host cell replication.
[0007] The cervical epithelium is composed of several layers of tissue and is referred to as stratified squamous epithelium. The layers are the superficial cell layer, the intermediate cell layer, the parabasal cell layer and the basal cell layer. It is essential that a topical drug for the treatment of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is able to penetrate these multiple layers of tissue to adequately reach and treat the transformed cells. This is a formidable task because the cells are tightly bound and without blood vessels.
[0008] Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia is most often treated by observation (the wait and see approach) or by excision or ablation of the cervical transformation zone. Techniques include cryotherapy, laser therapy, loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP) and cone biopsy. All of these surgical procedures damage the affected areas and can lead to scarring. The most common intervention, LEEP, is effective in 60-90% of cases, however, it can be a painful procedure and may be associated with a significantly increased risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and negative psychological outcomes. Despite extensive research, no drug has been approved to replace or combine with these surgical methods.
[0009] Cervical high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (cHSIL), sometimes referred to as CIN2 and CIN3, is a disease caused by the abnormal hyperproliferation (dysplasia) of squamous cells in the cervical epithelium (Waxman, A. G., et. al 2012. “Revised terminology for cervical histopathology and its implications for management of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions of the cervix”. Obstet Gynecol, 120, 1465-71). Hyperproliferation usually occurs where the simple columnar, endometrial-type epithelium of the endocervix transitions to the stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix; this region is referred to as the “transformation zone” (Sellers, J. W. & Sankaranarayanan, R. 2003. An introduction to the anatomy of the uterine cervix. Colposcopy and Treatment of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia: A Beginners' Manual). Cervical HSIL is classified as a pre- cancerous condition because apoptosis is impaired in these hyperproliferating cells, which can lead to the accumulation of genetic alterations that transform the cells into cancer. The probability that the patient’s immune system will be sufficiently activated to clear lesions diminishes over time and is contingent upon a variety of factors including the patient’s immunocompetency, lifestyle (e.g., smoking), and nutritional status (Schiffman, M., et al 2011. “Human papillomavirus testing in the prevention of cervical cancer”. J Natl Cancer Inst, 103, 368-83).
[0010] For women already infected with HPV, there is no approved drug therapy to treat cHSIL and thereby, to prevent the progression of HSIL to cervical cancer.
[0011] Frantz Viral Therapies, LLC is conducting clinical trials to assess the use of artesunate vaginal inserts for the treatment of women with cervical high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2/3). Artesunate is an artemisinin derivative with cytotoxic activity.
Artesunate is a known WHO-approved anti-malarial agent. The cytotoxic agent is delivered in the trial at a dosage, for example, of 50 to 200 mg for a 5-day cycle on weeks 0, 2 and 4. The artesunate vaginal inserts are self-administered at bedtime with a vaginal applicator, followed by use of a tampon, which is removed in the morning. Artesunate has a cytotoxic effect but is not an anti-viral agent, so does not directly stop the HPV replication. Therefore, artesunate cannot be used to treat patients who have an HPV infection that has not progressed to cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Also, artesunate has some systemic exposure under these conditions. See generally Trimble, et al., “A first-in-human proof-of-concept trial of intravaginal artesunate to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 (CIN 2/3)”, Gynecologic Oncology 157 (2020)188-194 as well as U.S. Patents 6,586,464; 8,394,849; 8,940,787 and 7,989,491.
[0012] Cidofovir, a pyrimidine based acyclic phosphonate nucleoside, which has broad spectrum activity against DNA viruses, is recognized as one of the effective treatments for HPV lesions that have not become cancerous. It is a DNA terminator and causes cell death via apoptosis of HPV transformed cells and regression of HPV-induced tumors. Cidofovir has been tested as a topical treatment of CIN2 and CIN3. See Van Pachterbeke, et al., “Topical treatment of CIN 2+ by cidofovir: Results of a phase II, double-blind, prospective, placebo-controlled study”, Gynecologic Oncology 115 (2009) 69-74. Researchers found that cidofovir cannot replace conization but may be used for topical chemotherapy. See also Snoeck, et al, “Cidofovir, a New Approach for the Treatment of Cervix Intraepithelial Neoplasia Grade III (CIN III)” Journal of Medical Virology 60:205- 209 (2000). According to Snoeck, et al., except for two patients, patients had at least partial responses and half had a total response. In the partial responses, the transformed cells persisted in the deep tissues that can lead to neoplasia. [0013] The Regents of the University of California, with Karl Hostetler, et. al, as named inventors, has filed a series of patents on various acyclic nucleotide derivatives to treat papilloma infections, including (i) U.S. Patent Nos. 9,156,867; 9,387,217; 9,629,860; 9,775,852; 10,076,532; 10,076,533; 10,195,222; and 10,449,207 with a priority date of March 15, 2013; (ii) U.S. Patent Nos. 9,493,493; 9,801,884; 10,213,430; 10,702,532;
11,344,555, and PCT WO 2016/044281 with a priority date of September 15, 2014; and (iii) U.S. Patent No. 10,377,782 and 11,014,950 with a priority date of September 15, 2015. [0014] Antiva Biosciences carried out human clinical trials with the acyclic nucleotide phosphonate ABI-1968 to assess its ability to adequately penetrate the various layers of cervical epithelium and release the antiviral agent PMEG (9-(2- phosphonomethyoxy)ethyl)guanine). PMEG is phosphorylated to PMEGpp (PMEG polyphosphate). It was determined that ABI-1968, when used even up to a 3% dose, does not reach 15 ng/mg of tissue concentration for ABI-1968, and thus is not suitable as a topical drug to treat cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. The clinical trials were terminated as not successful.
ABI-1968
[0015] It is thus a formidable challenge to topically dose HPV-infected epithelial stratified tissue in an effective manner that destroys the neoplasia cells in the multiple epithelial layers. The drug must be lipophilic enough to pass through the tissue layers and be metabolized if necessary to the active agent in a sufficient concentration to kill the pathogenic cells.
[0016] One compound of particular interest is ethyl(((2-(2-amino-6-methoxy-9H- purin-9-yl)ethoxy)methyl)(benzyloxy)-phosphoryl)-L-alaninate (called “Compound I” herein, shown below). U.S. Patent Nos. 9,801,884 and 11,344,555 assigned to the Regents of the University of California claim this compound and pharmaceutically acceptable salts generally, as well as methods of using the same for treating a papillomavirus infection.
Compound I is an acyclic nucleotide phosphonamidate that metabolizes to PMEG. Antiva Biosciences is conducting a human clinical trial of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Compound I for the treatment of HPV infection and HPV-induced intraepithelial neoplasia.

[00355] For example, an active compound with a nitrogenous base as described herein can be administered as a salt or cocrystal of an organic acid, such as an aliphatic mono- or dicarboxylic acid, a phenyl-substituted alkanoic acid, a hydroxy alkanoic acid, an alkanedioic acid, an aromatic acid, an aliphatic or aromatic sulfonic acid, or the like. The organic salts listed above are illustrative examples and are not meant to be limiting. Many of the compounds of the disclosure are bases. Accordingly, the reaction of said bases with acids in suitable conditions may be used to generate salts or cocrystals of the disclosure.
[00356] Examples of salts include acetate, propionate, butyrate, fumarate, glyoxylate, caprylate, isobutyrate, oxalate, tosylate, citrate, glycolate, malonate, succinate, valerate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, suberate, sebacate, fumarate, maleate, lactate, glutarate, mandelate, benzoate, chlorobenzoate, methylbenzoate, dinitrobenzoate, phthalate, benzenesulfonate, toluenesulfonate, phenyl acetate, citrate, caproate, adipate, lactate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, succinate, tartrate, naphthylate mesylate, glucoheptonate, lactobionate, laurylsulphonate and isethionate.
[00357] In other embodiments, a salt or cocrystals of a natural or unnatural amino acid can be used. The amino acid can be an alpha (D- or L-), beta, or gamma amino acid. The amino acid may be for example, arginine, histidine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, alanine, asparagine, aspartate, cysteine, glutamine, glutamate, glycine, proline, serine, tyrosine, gluconate, or galacturonate.
[00358] In another embodiment, a salt or cocrystal of a nitrogenous base can be prepared from an inorganic acid. Inorganic salts include sulfate, pyrosulfate, bisulfate, sulfite, bisulfite, nitrate, phosphate, monohydrogenphosphate, dihydrogenphosphate, metaphosphate, pyrophosphate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, borate, iodide, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, hydrobromic, hydriodic, phosphorus, or the like.
[00359] In another embodiment, a pharmaceutically acceptable basic salt of an active compound of the present disclosure that has an acidic group such as a carboxylic acid, contains a cation of an alkali and alkaline earth metal, such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or the like, or a non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium, or amine cation such as, but not limited to, ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, ethylamine. See, for example, Berge et al., J. Pharm. Sci., 1977, 66, 1-19, which is incorporated herein by reference.
[00360] Salts and/or cocrystals of the compounds disclosed herein may also be hydrates and/or solvates. A hydrate is present when the salt and/or cocrystal also contains water. The hydrate may be stoichiometric (such as a monohydrate) or non-stoichiometric. A solvate is present when the salt and/or cocrystal also contains solvent. The solvate may be stoichiometric (such as a monoethanolate) or non-stoichiometric.
[00361] The present disclosure includes but is not limited to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and the use of any of the active compounds described herein with desired isotopic substitutions of atoms at amounts above the natural abundance of the isotope, i.e., enriched. Isotopes are atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers, i.e., the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons. By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen, for example, deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H) may be used anywhere in described structures. Alternatively, or in addition, isotopes of carbon, e.g., 13C and 14C, may be used. A preferred isotopic substitution is deuterium for hydrogen at one or more locations on the molecule to improve the performance of the drug. The deuterium can be bound in a location of bond breakage during metabolism (an a-deuterium kinetic isotope effect) or next to or near the site of bond breakage (a P- deuterium kinetic isotope effect). Achillion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (WO/2014/169278 and WO/2014/169280) describes deuteration of nucleotides to improve their pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic, including at the 5-position of the molecule.
[00362] Substitution with isotopes such as deuterium can afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, such as, for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements. Substitution of deuterium for hydrogen at a site of metabolic break-down can reduce the rate of or eliminate the metabolism at that bond. At any position of the compound that a hydrogen atom may be present, the hydrogen atom can be any isotope of hydrogen, including protium (1H), deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H). Thus, reference herein to a compound encompasses all potential isotopic forms unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
[00363] The term "isotopically-labeled" analog refers to an analog that is a "deuterated analog", a "13C-labeled analog," or a "deuterated/13C-labeled analog." The term "deuterated analog" means a compound described herein, whereby a H-isotope, i.e., hydrogen/protium (1H), is substituted with a H-isotope, i.e., deuterium (2H). Deuterium substitution can be partial or complete. Partial deuterium substitution means that at least one hydrogen is substituted with at least one deuterium. In certain embodiments, the isotope is about 90%, 95%, or 99% or more enriched in an isotope at any location of interest. In some embodiments, it is deuterium that is about 90%, 95%, or 99% isotopically enriched at a desired location. Unless indicated to the contrary, the deuteration is at least about 80% at the selected location. Deuteration of the nucleoside can occur at any replaceable hydrogen that provides the desired results.

In certain embodiments, a formulation for the treatment of HPV infection or HPV-induced intraepithelial neoplasia is a dosage form that contains about or at least 0.005 mg, 0.01 mg, 0.03 mg, 0.05 mg, 0.1 mg, 0.3 mg, 0.5 mg, 0.7 mg, 1 mg, 1.5 mg, 2 mg, 2.5 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 25 mg, 30 mg, 35 mg, 40 mg, 45 mg, or 50 mg of any of the active compounds or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or cocrystal thereof described herein. The dose strengths in mg used herein refer to the mass of the active compound and do not include the salt or coformer in the molecular mass, and thus the total weight in the dosage form. For example, when a dosage form is said to contain 0.1 mg of a monofumarate salt of a compound of Formula I, the 0.1 mg dose is referring to the amount of compound of Formula I in the dosage form.
[00370] In certain embodiments, a formulation for the treatment of HPV infection or HPV-induced intraepithelial neoplasia is a dosage form containing of from about 0.001 mg to about 20 mg, from about 0.005 to about 10 mg, from about 0.01 mg to about 5 mg, from about 0.03 mg to about 1 mg, or from about 0.05 mg to about 0.3 mg of any of the active compounds or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or cocrystal thereof described herein. In certain embodiments, a formulation for the treatment of HPV infection or HPV-induced intraepithelial neoplasia is a dosage form containing of from about 0.05 mg to about 2 mg. [00371] The term “containing” when used in relation to a composition or dosage form, for example, means “comprising” (i.e., consisting at least in part of). When interpreting statements in this specification and claims which include the term “containing” or “comprising,” it is to be understood that other features that are additional to the features prefaced by this term in each statement or claim may also be present. Related terms such as “comprise” and “comprised” are to be interpreted in a similar manner.
[00372] In certain embodiments, the topical formulation is administered twice a day, once a day, or once every several days a week (such as once every 2 or 3 days), as long as necessary to achieve the desired results. In certain embodiments, the topical formulation is administered on a weekly schedule for one, two, three, four, five, six, or more weeks. In certain aspects, the topical formulation is administered on a schedule of one dosage a week for one, two, three, four, five, or six weeks. In certain aspects, the topical formulation is administered on a schedule of two dosages a week for one, two, three, four, five, or six weeks. In certain aspects, the topical formulation is administered on a schedule of three dosages a week for one, two, three, four, five, or six weeks.
[00373] In certain embodiments, the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or cocrystal thereof can be administered in one or more therapeutic cycles comprising a treatment cycle and a rest cycle (also known as a treatment break), wherein the treatment cycle comprises administering the compound as described herein, followed by a rest cycle (comprising a period of no treatment) before the next treatment cycle. In certain embodiments, the rest cycle is from about one day to about six months. In certain embodiments, the rest cycle is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or more weeks before the next treatment cycle. In certain embodiments, multiple therapeutic cycles are administered, for example one, two, three, four, five, or six therapeutic cycles.
[00374] Dosage forms which do not adhere well to the target site may be dislodged, interfering with treatment. Dosage forms have been discovered that adhere to the target site and dissolve rapidly in low fluid volumes. Adhesion to the target site also prevents exposure to healthy tissues, which may limit toxicity and side effects. Dosage forms which soften, break down, and/or disintegrate quickly in low fluid volumes are advantageous to cause a rapid release of the active compound to the target tissue. Dosage forms that disintegrate in, for example, less than about 50 pL, less than about 100 pL, less than about 125 pL, less than about 150 pL, less than about 175 pL, less than about 200 pL, less than about 250 pL, less than about 500 pL, less than about 1 mL, or less than about 2 mL fluid facilitate drug penetration into the target site.
[00375] In certain embodiments, the dosage form is a gel. In certain embodiments, the dosage form is a cream. In certain embodiments, the dosage form is a tablet. In certain embodiments, the dosage form disintegrates in about one to about ten seconds. In certain embodiments, the dosage form disintegrates in about ten seconds to about one minute. In certain embodiments, the dosage form disintegrates in about one minute to about one hour. In certain embodiments, the dosage form disintegrates in about one hour to about six hours.
[00376] The physical dimensions of the dosage form can impact the effectiveness of the dosage form. A tablet that is thinner provides a greater surface area to volume ratio and may degrade quicker and cover the target area better. In certain embodiments, the dosage form is less than about 6, 5, 4, 3, or 2 millimeters thick in its smallest dimension. In certain embodiments, the dosage form is less than 3 millimeters thick in its smallest dimension. [00377] In some embodiments, the formulation of the dosage form may be important for adequate administration of the active agent into the intraepithelial tissue. The formulation,
I l l for example, can be prepared for use as a tablet, a reconstituted powder, a dry powder, a semi solid dosage form, a film, or a pessary (i.e., a vaginal suppository).

[00444] The treatments described herein for intraepithelial neoplasia can be combined with conventional approaches such as, but not limited to, excision or ablation of the transformed zone. Techniques include cryotherapy, laser therapy, loop electrosurgical procedure (LEEP), and cone biopsy. All of these surgical procedures damage the affected areas and can lead to scarring. The most common intervention for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, LEEP, is effective in 60-90% of cases, however, it may be associated with a significantly increased risk of miscarriage, ectopic pregnancies, and negative psychological outcomes. In certain embodiments, the treatments described herein are used to lessen, ameliorate or substitute for the use of these conventional practices.
[00445] In certain embodiments, the treatments described herein can be used in combination with a surgical technique. In certain embodiments, a patient in need thereof can receive surgery before, during, and/or after administration of an effective amount of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or cocrystal thereof described herein. In certain embodiments, the surgical procedure can be an excision of the target and/or diseased tissue, including but not limited to loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP), large loop excision of the transformation zone (LLETZ), knife conization, cold knife conization, knife cone biopsy, or laser conization. In certain embodiments, the surgical procedure can be ablation, including but not limited to laser ablation or cryoablation.
[00446] In some embodiments, the efficacy of a drug against an HPV infection may be prolonged, augmented, or restored by administering the compound in combination or alternation with another, and perhaps even two or three other, antiviral compounds that induce a different mutation or act through a different pathway from that of the principal drug. Alternatively, the pharmacokinetic, biodistribution, half-life, or other parameter of the drug can be altered by such combination therapy (which may include alternation therapy if considered concerted). Furthermore, since HPV is associated with several types of cancer, combination therapy with anticancer therapeutics can in some embodiments provide better outcomes for patients. Since the compounds disclosed herein and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and cocrystals thereof are DNA polymerase inhibitors, it may be useful to administer the compound or salt or cocrystal thereof to a host in need thereof in combination with, for example: a) a protease inhibitor; b) another DNA polymerase inhibitor; c) an inhibitor of E6 or E6AP such as MEDI0457, luteolin, CAF-24, or gossypetin; d) an inhibitor of E7; e) an inhibitor of El or E2, including inhibitors of the E1-E2 protein interaction; f) L2 lipopeptides; g) an inhibitor or degrader of LI or L2; h) an HD AC inhibitor such as vorinostat; i) degraders of tetraspanins such as CD9, CD63, or CD151; j) immunotherapeutics such as T-cell therapies (including adoptive T-cell therapies) and checkpoint inhibitors; k) anti-proliferative drugs; l) a therapeutic vaccine; m) a prophylactic vaccine; n) trichloroacetic acid; o) salicylic acid; p) imiquimod; q) podofilox; r) Gardasil® 9; s) Gardasil® 4; t) Cervarix; u) VGX-3100; v) GGX-188E; and/or w) ADXS11-001.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: General Synthesis of Compounds of the Present Disclosure
[00482] All of the examples provided below are non-limiting illustrative examples of processes of manufacture. Other processes and reagents can be used to make the described compounds that are known to the skilled artisan.
R6 or R66
[00483] The R6 or R66 group can be positioned on the purine ring according to one of the following exemplary syntheses, starting from 2-aminopurine or 2-amino-6-chloropurine or as otherwise known in the art. The bond to the N9 position on the purine ring (shown as a terminated bond in the schemes below) may be hydrogen, Linker, Linker6, Linker0, or Linker19. If Linker, Linker6, Linker0, or Linker19 is attached to the purine before the R6 or R66 group is attached, suitable protecting groups for nitrogen or oxygen atoms in the linker group may be used.
[00484] The purine base can be coupled to the linker, for example, through alkylation, Mitsunobu reaction, or decarboxylative cross coupling. Example reaction schemes for the base to linker coupling as shown in the scheme below, where LG represents a leaving group and PG represents a protecting group:
Example 1 A. Alkylation of Linker
[00485] The following non-limiting examples of reagents and reaction conditions for attaching the purine base to Linker may also be used for attaching a purine base to LinkerB, LinkerC, and LinkerD to make a compound which has a Linker6, Linker0, or Linker0. Other reaction conditions will be known to those of skill in the art. [00486] Purine 1 is coupled to Linker phosphorus ester 2 through displacement of a leaving group (LG), for example an alkyl chloride, bromide, mesylate, tosylate, or brosylate. In certain embodiments, the displacement is carried out in a polar aprotic solvent such as DMF or DMSO in the presence of a base, for example a carbonate base such as cesium carbonate. Other reaction conditions will be known to those of skill in the art. In certain embodiments, Step 1 may lead to two products (regioisomers) via N-7 and N-9 alkylation. These can be separated by, for example, silica gel chromatography.
[00487] To a solution of compound 3 in DCM is then added a Lewis acid such as trimethylsilyl bromide to form compound 4. Compound 4 is then coupled to amino acid 6 and alcohol 7 with aldithriol-2, an amine base such as triethylamine, and triphenyl phosphine.
[00488] In certain embodiments, when R3 or R4 contain a nucleophile such as an amine or alcohol, the nucleophile can be protected with a suitable protecting group to lessen the generation of side products. Suitable protecting groups for amines include but are not limited to tertbutoxycarbonyl (Boc), carboxybenzyl (Cbz), and benzyl (Bn). Suitable protecting groups for alcohols include silyl protecting groups (e.g. trimethylsilyl, triisopropylsilyl, tertbutyldimethylsilyl, tertbutyldiphenylsilyl), benzyl (Bn), benzoyl (Bz), pivalic ester (Piv), methoxymethyl (MOM), and allyl ether. Additional protecting groups are described by Greene and Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991) New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
[00489] In alternative embodiments, 2-amino-6-chloropurine can be used in Step 1, and then the R6 or R66 group can be installed as Step 2A (shown below). For example, if R6 is -O-CH3, the corresponding alcohol (methanol) can displace the chloride via nucleophilic aromatic substitution in the presence of a base. [00490] If R6 is -O-CF3, the trifluoromethoxy group can be installed by reacting the guanine base with a trifluoromethylating reagent such as Togni’s reagent (Step 2B, shown below). Other reaction conditions will be known to those of skill in the art.
[00491] If R6 is -O-CF2H, the difluoromethoxy group can be installed by reacting the guanine base with a difluromethyl carbene source, for example diethyl P-
(bromodifluoromethyl)phosphonate (Step 2C, shown below). Other reaction conditions will be known to those of skill in the art.
[00492] If R6 is -O-Si(CH3)3, the trimethyl silyl group can be installed by reacting the guanine base the corresponding silyl chloride (Step 2D, shown below):
[00493] Additional examples of silyl chlorides include but are not limited to triethylsilyl chloride, triisopropylsilyl chloride, tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, and tertbutyldiphenylsilyl chloride. Example IB. Linker attachment through photochemical coupling
[00494] In certain non-limiting embodiments, compounds of the present disclosure are synthesized according to the scheme below. Reaction conditions other than those shown will be known to those of skill in the art.
Step 1 : Decarboxylative coupling of purine and linker
[00495] Purine 1 is coupled to carboxylic acid-functionalized Linker 2 through a decarboxylative coupling reaction. Decarb oxy lative N-alkylation reaction procedures are described in, for example, Li, P. et al. “The Direct Decarboxylative N-Alkylation of Azoles, Sulfonamides, Ureas, and Carbamates with Carboxylic Acids via Photoredox Catalysis”, Org. Lett. 2021, 23, 9563-9568; Sheng, T. et al. “Electrochemical Decarboxylative N-Alkylation of Heterocycles” Org. Lett. 2020, 22, 7549-7598; and Dow, N. et al. “A general N-alkylation platform via copper metallaphotoredox and silyl radical activation of alkyl halides” Cell Che nr 7, 1827-1842. In certain embodiments, the amine of 2 is protected by a protecting group, for example Boc or Cbz. In alternative embodiments, when the linker is Linker0, then the oxygen of Linker0 is protected by a protecting group, for example benzyl.
Step 2: Deprotection of linker protecting group
[00496] After coupling 1 and 2, the amine protecting group is deprotected (Step 2). Deprotection conditions vary according to the protecting group used. For example, if the protecting group is Cbz, hydrogenolysis can be used to deprotect the amine. Hydrogenolysis can be performed using hydrogen gas (H2) and a catalyst, typically palladium, iridium, or rhodium on carbon. Alternatively, hydrogenolysis can be performed by transfer hydrogenation with a solid source of hydrogen (e.g. ammonium formate), and a catalyst such as palladium (additional transfer hydrogenation conditions can be found in, for example, Wang, D. et al “The Golden Age of Transfer Hydrogenation”, Chem. Rev. 2015, 115, 13, 621-6686). Additional deprotection conditions for protecting groups can be found in Greene and Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991) New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Step 3: Coupling of Phosphonate Ester
[00497] After deprotection of the Linker amine (for Linker, Linker6 or Linker0) or alcohol (Linker0), the phosphonate benzyl ester is attached via displacement of a leaving group (LG). Leaving groups include chloride, bromide, mesylate, tosylate, and brosylate (as described above). This reaction is preferably carried out in the presence of a base, such as sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate in an aprotic solvent such as acetonitrile.
Step 4: Deprotection of Phosphonate Ester
[00498] Deprotection of the phosphonate benzyl ester groups can be performed via hydrogenolysis as described in Step 2.
Step 5: Preparation of Phosphonoamidate
[00499] Formation of the phosphonamidate 10 from phosphonate 6, amine 8, and alcohol 9 is performed using a diaryldisulfide (for example Aldrithiol™-2) and triphenylphosphine. In alternative non-limiting embodiments, the phosphonamidate is synthesized using dehydrative coupling reagents including but not limited to hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt), Hexafluorophosphate Azabenzotriazole Tetramethyl Uronium (HATU), 157enzotriazole-l-yloxytripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP), N,N’ -di cyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), (l-Cyano-2-ethoxy-2- oxoethylidenaminooxy)dimethylamino-morpholino-carbenium hexafluorophosphate (COMU), and tripropylphosphonic anhydride (T3P®).
[00500] In some instances, to prepare phosphonamidite 10 wherein the R1 and R3 of compound 10, together with the atoms to which they are attached, form a five-membered ring, amine 8 contains the following groups: R2 is hydrogen, R3 is -CH2OH, R4 is hydrogen, and R5 is -OCH2CH3.
Example 1C. Attachment of Linker through Mitsunobu reaction
Step 1 : Mitsunobu Coupling of Purine and Linker
[00501] In certain embodiments, purine 1 is coupled to alcohol-functionalized Linker 2 through a Mitsunobu coupling reaction. Coupling of 1 and 2 via Mitsunobu reaction may be advantageous when the Linker, Linker6, Linker0, or Linker6* is readily prepared with an alcohol group. The Mitsunobu reaction may be advantageous for coupling 1 and 2 when 2 is a bicyclic heterocycle. Mitsunobu reaction can be performed using an azodi carb oxy late and triphenylphosphine. Azodicarboxylates which may be used include but are not limited to di ethylazodicarboxylate (DEAD), diisopropylazodicarboxylate (DIAD), and 1,1’- (azodicarbonyl)dipiperidine (ADDP). The reaction is typically performed in tetrahydrofuran at reduced temperature, for example 0°C. Order of reagent addition may influence the amount of product formed. In some embodiments, the purine, the alcohol, and triphenylphosphine are dissolved in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, followed by dropwise addition of the azodicarboxylate as a solution in tetrahydrofuran. In some embodiments, the azodicarboxylate and triphenylphosphine are dissolved, the mixture stirred, then the alcohol and acid are added. In alternative non-limiting embodiments, the solvent is toluene. Other Mitsunobu reaction conditions will be known to those of skill in the art.
[00502] Some Linker0 groups contain an ether linkage to Y. In these embodiments, a monoprotected diol is used in the Mitsunobu reaction of Step 1. The unprotected alcohol becomes bound to the purine base in Step 1. After deprotection, the second alcohol is r / attached to Y in Step 3. For example, when Linker is °~-Y , a non-limiting
'’ V'A ,Bn L / °' exemplary monoprotected diol used in Step 1 is °"Y
[00503] In certain embodiments, the amine of 2 is protected by a protecting group, for example Boc or Cbz. In certain embodiments, one alcohol of a diol Linker6 or Linker0 is protected by a protecting group, for example benzyl.
[00504] To synthesize compounds of Formula VI, the Mitsunobu conditions described herein can be used to attach the purine base to Linker0. In certain embodiments, Linker0- Y2- P(O)(OEt)2 is used when forming the bond between the purine base and Linker0 (shown in the scheme below). Step 2: Deprotection of Linker Protecting Group
[00505] After coupling 1 and 2, the amine or alcohol protecting group is deprotected (Step 2). Deprotection conditions vary according to the protecting group used. For example, if the protecting group is Boc, acid can be used to deprotect the amine. Common acids for deprotecting Boc groups include but are not limited to trifluoroacetic acid and hydrochloric acid.
[00506] If the protecting group is benzyl, hydrogenolysis can be used to deprotect the amine. Hydrogenolysis can be performed using hydrogen gas (H2) and a catalyst, typically palladium, iridium, or rhodium on carbon. Additional deprotection conditions for protecting groups can be found in Greene and Wuts in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis (1991) New York, John Wiley and Sons, Inc.
Step 3-5: Coupling of Phosphonate Ester and Preparation of Phosphonamidate [00507] Steps 3-5 can be carried out as in Example IB, above.
