FIELD
Disclosed herein are compounds that inhibit leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2), pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of using the compounds, e.g., in methods of treating disorders associated with LRRK2 such as neurodegenerative diseases, immune-mediated diseases, and forms of cancer.
BACKGROUND
Parkinson's disease ("PD") is the most common form of parkinsonism, a neurodegenerative movement disorder, and the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease estimated to affect 1-2% of the population over age 65. PD patients experience a progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons leading to disease that is characterized by tremor, rigidity, postural instability, impaired speech, and bradykinesia. Nonmotor symptoms also manifest with PD and include sleep disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, depression, cognitive and emotional changes, and anosmia. It is a chronic, progressive disease with increasing disability and diminished quality of life. In addition to PD, parkinsonism is exhibited in a range of conditions such as progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, multiple system atrophy, PD dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies. Current therapeutic strategies for PD are primarily palliative and focus on reducing the severity of symptoms using supplemental dopaminergic medications. At present, there is no disease-modifying therapy that addresses the underlying neurop athological cause of the disease, thus constituting a significant unmet medical need.
It has long been known that family members of PD patients have an increased risk of developing the disease compared to the general population. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 ("LRRK2," also known as dardarin) is a 286 kDa multi-domain protein that has been linked to PD by genome-wide association studies (Mov. Disord. 2011, 26(6), 1042). LRRK2 expression in the brain is highest in areas impacted by PD (Eur. J. Neurosci. 2006, 23 (3): 659) and LRRK2 has been found to localize in Lewy Bodies, which are intracellular protein aggregates considered to be a hallmark of the disease. Patients with point mutations in LRRK2 present disease that is indistinguishable from idiopathic patients (Lancet Neurol. 2008, 7(7), 583).
Missense mutations in LRRK2 have been shown to enhance the kinase activity of the protein (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 2005, 102(46), 16842) suggesting that hyperphosphorylation of LRRK2 substrates may play a role in disease progression. Recent findings in brain from idiopathic PD (iPD) patients suggest that genetic and sporadic forms of PD may be linked through increased LRRK2 kinase activity. Rab GTPases, which regulate vesicular trafficking, are endogenous LRRK2 substrates. A 4-fold increase in phosphorylated Rab 10 levels has been observed in postmortem brain tissue from a cohort of iPD patients. This was correlated with a 6-fold increase in LRRK2 autophosphorylation of Ser1292; a similar effect occurs in a rotenone-induced rat model of PD (Sci. Transl. Med. 2018, 10, eaar5429). Increased Rab 10 phosphorylation also occurs in human peripheral blood neutrophils (Biochem. J. 2018, 475, 23) and increased Rab 10 phosphorylation was observed in patients with iPD in a Phase I clinical study of a LRRK2 type I KI.( https://denalitherapeutics.gcs-web.com/node/8141/pdf). Together, these findings suggest a significant role for increased LRRK2 kinase activity in the etiology and pathogenesis of LRRK2 mutation-related PD and iPD. Thereby, inhibition of LRRK2 kinase activity has become a target for the treatment of PD (Nat. Med. 2010, 16(9), 998; J. Neurosci. Res. 2009, 87(6), 1283).
In addition to PD, LRRK2 has been linked to other diseases. Among these are cancer, leprosy, and Crohn's disease (Sci. Signal., 2012, 5(207), pe2). LRRK2 mutations are also associated with diverse pathologic changes in brain, including deposits of tau, also called “tauopathy”, especially the type characteristic of Alzheimer disease (AD) (Acta Neuropathol. Commun. 7: 183 (2019)) but also a number of other neurodegenerative diseases, as well as deposits of transactive response DNA binding protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) (Mov. Disord. 2023 Aug; 38(8): 1541-1545) suggesting that LRRK2 inhibitors may be useful for the treatment of AD or other related disorders. LRRK2 is expressed in peripheral monocytes and macrophages and inflammation increases LRRK2 activity and expression suggesting a role for LRRK2 in regulating immune cell response (J. Neurosci. 2012, 32(05), 1602). LRRK2 inhibitors may therefore be useful for the treatment of a range of immune-mediated diseases.
As there are presently limited therapeutic options for treating PD and other disorders associated with aberrant LRRK2 kinase activity, there remains a need for developing LRRK2 inhibitors. SUMMARY

Certain compounds described herein may have at least one asymmetric center. Additional asymmetric centers may be present depending upon the nature of the various substituents on the molecule. Compounds with asymmetric centers give rise to enantiomers (optical isomers), diastereomers (configurational isomers) or both, and it is intended that all of the possible enantiomers and diastereomers, in mixtures and as pure or partially purified compounds, are included within the scope of this disclosure.
The independent syntheses of the enantiomerically or diastereomerically enriched compounds, or their chromatographic separations, may be achieved as known in the art by appropriate modification of the methodology disclosed herein. Their absolute stereochemistry may be determined by the x-ray crystallography of crystalline products or crystalline intermediates that are derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing an asymmetric center of known absolute configuration.
If desired, racemic mixtures of the compounds may be separated so that the individual enantiomers are isolated. The separation can be carried out by methods well known in the art, such as the coupling of a racemic mixture of compounds to an enantiomerically pure compound to form a diastereomeric mixture, followed by separation of the individual diastereomers by standard methods, such as fractional crystallization or chromatography. The coupling reaction is often the formation of salts using an enantiomerically pure acid or base. The diastereomeric derivatives may then be converted to the pure enantiomers by cleavage of the added chiral residue. The racemic mixture of the compounds can also be separated directly by chromatographic methods using chiral stationary phases, which methods are well known in the art. Alternatively, any enantiomer of a compound may be obtained by stereoselective synthesis using optically pure starting materials or reagents of known configuration by methods well known in the art.
Compounds may also possess tautomeric forms, and all tautomers also constitute embodiments of the disclosure.

The synthetic schemes and specific examples as described are illustrative and are not to be read as limiting the scope of the disclosure or the claims. Alternatives, modifications, and equivalents of the synthetic methods and specific examples are contemplated. b. Pharmaceutically Acceptable Salts
The disclosed compounds may exist as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to salts or zwitterions of the compounds which are water or oil-soluble or dispersible, suitable for treatment of disorders without undue toxicity, irritation, and allergic response, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio and effective for their intended use. The salts may be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the compounds or separately by reacting an amino group of the compound with a suitable acid. For example, a compound may be dissolved in a suitable solvent, such as but not limited to methanol and water and treated with at least one equivalent of an acid, like hydrochloric acid. The resulting salt may precipitate out and be isolated by filtration and dried under reduced pressure. Alternatively, the solvent and excess acid may be removed under reduced pressure to provide a salt. Representative salts include acetate, adipate, alginate, citrate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, camphorate, camphorsulfonate, digluconate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, formate, isethionate, fumarate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, naphthylenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, pamoate, pectinate, persulfate, 3 -phenylpropionate, picrate, oxalate, maleate, pivalate, propionate, succinate, tartrate, trichloroacetate, trifluoro acetate, glutamate, para-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulfuric, phosphoric, and the like. Amino groups of the compounds may also be quatemized with alkyl chlorides, bromides and iodides such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, lauryl, myristyl, stearyl and the like.
Basic addition salts may be prepared during the final isolation and purification of the disclosed compounds by reaction of a carboxyl group with a suitable base such as the hydroxide, carbonate, or bicarbonate of a metal cation such as lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, or aluminum, or an organic primary, secondary, or tertiary amine. Quaternary amine salts can be prepared, such as those derived from methylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylamine, tributylamine, pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline, N-methylpiperidine, N-methylmorpholine, dicyclohexylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N,N-dibenzylphenethylamine, 1 -ephenamine and N,N’ -dibenzylethylenediamine, ethylenediamine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, piperidine, piperazine, and the like.

Such disorders include Parkinson’s disease, cancer, leprosy, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer’s disease, other neurodegenerative diseases, or an immune-mediated disorder. In particular embodiments, the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are used in methods of treating Parkinson’s disease. The disclosed compounds and pharmaceutical compositions may also be used in methods for inhibiting the activity of LRRK2.
In the methods of treatment described herein, a compound or pharmaceutical composition may be administered to the subject by any convenient route of administration, whether systemically/peripherally or at the site of desired action, including but not limited to, oral (e.g. by ingestion); topical (including e.g. transdermal, intranasal, ocular, buccal, and sublingual); pulmonary (e.g. by inhalation or insufflation therapy using, e.g. an aerosol, e.g. through mouth or nose); rectal; vaginal; parenteral, for example, by injection, including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, intraarterial, intracardiac, intrathecal, intraspinal, intracapsular, subcapsular, intraorbital, intraperitoneal, intratracheal, subcuticular, intraarticular, subarachnoid, and intrastemal; or by implant of a depot, for example, subcutaneously or intramuscularly. In some embodiments, the administration comprises oral administration. Additional modes of administration may include adding the compound and/or a composition comprising the compound to a food or beverage, including a water supply for an animal, to supply the compound as part of the animal’s diet.
It will be appreciated that appropriate dosages of the compounds, and compositions comprising the compounds, can vary from patient to patient. Determining the optimal dosage will generally involve the balancing of the level of therapeutic benefit against any risk or deleterious side effects of the treatments of the present disclosure. The selected dosage level will depend on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the activity of the particular compound, the route of administration, the time of administration, the rate of excretion of the compound, the duration of the treatment, other drugs, compounds, and/or materials used in combination, and the age, sex, weight, condition, general health, and prior medical history of the patient. The amount of compound and route of administration will ultimately be at the discretion of the physician, although generally the dosage will be to achieve local concentrations at the site of action which achieve the desired effect without causing substantial harmful or deleterious side-effects.
Administration in vivo can be effected in one dose, continuously or intermittently (e.g., in divided doses at appropriate intervals) throughout the course of treatment. Methods of determining the most effective means and dosage of administration are well known to those of skill in the art and will vary with the formulation used for therapy, the purpose of the therapy, the target cell being treated, and the subject being treated. Single or multiple administrations can be carried out with the dose level and pattern being selected by the treating physician. In general, a suitable dose of the compound is in the range of about 100 pg to about 250 mg per kilogram body weight of the subject per day.
The compound or composition may be administered once, on a continuous basis (e.g. by an intravenous drip), or on a periodic/ intermittent basis, including about once per hour, about once per two hours, about once per four hours, about once per eight hours, about once per twelve hours, about once per day, about once per two days, about once per three days, about twice per week, about once per week, and about once per month. The composition may be administered until a desired reduction of symptoms is achieved.
When used in methods of treatment disclosed herein, a compound or composition described herein may be used in combination with other known therapies. Administered “in combination,” as used herein, means that two (or more) different treatments are delivered to the subject during the course of the subject’s affliction with the disorder, e.g., the two or more treatments are delivered after the subject has been diagnosed with the disorder and before the disorder has been cured or eliminated or treatment has ceased for other reasons. In some embodiments, the delivery of one treatment is still occurring when the delivery of the second begins, so that there is overlap in terms of administration. This is sometimes referred to herein as “simultaneous” or “concurrent delivery.” In other embodiments, the delivery of one treatment ends before the delivery of the other treatment begins. In some embodiments of either case, the treatment is more effective because of combined administration. For example, the second treatment is more effective, e.g., an equivalent effect is seen with less of the second treatment, or the second treatment reduces symptoms to a greater extent, than would be seen if the second treatment were administered in the absence of the first treatment, or the analogous situation is seen with the first treatment. In some embodiments, delivery is such that the reduction in a symptom, or other parameter related to the disorder is greater than what would be observed with one treatment delivered in the absence of the other. The effect of the two treatments can be partially additive, wholly additive, or greater than additive. The delivery can be such that an effect of the first treatment delivered is still detectable when the second is delivered.

LRRK2 kinase activity was measured using a LanthaScreen™ Kinase Activity Assay from ThermoFisher Scientific. Recombinant wild type or G2019S-LRRK2 protein (Life Technologies, PR8604B or PV4881, respectively), was incubated with a fluorescein-labeled peptide substrate called LRRKtide that is based upon ezrin/radixin/moesin (ERM) (Life Technologies, PV4901) in the presence of ATP and serially diluted compound. After an incubation period of 1 h, the phosphotransferase activity was stopped and a terbium-labelled anti-pERM antibody (Life Technologies, PV4899) was added to detect the phosphorylation of LRRKtide by measuring the time resolved-Forster resonant energy transfer (TR-FRET) signal from the terbium label on the antibody to the fluorescein tag on LRRKtide, expressed as the 520nm/495nm emission ratio. Compound-dependent inhibition of the TR-FRET signal was used to generate a concentration-response curve for IC50 determination.
The assay was carried out under the following protocol conditions: 1 mM compound in DMSO was serially diluted 1 :3, 11 points in DMSO with a Biomek FX and 0.1 pL of the diluted compound was subsequently stamped into the assay plate (384-well format Lumitrac 200, Greiner, 781075) with an Echo Labcyte such that the final compound concentration in the assay was 10 pM to 169 pM. Subsequently, 5 pL of 2x kinase solution (2.9 nM final concentration) was added to the assay plate in assay buffer composed of 50 mM Tris pH 8.5 (Sigma, T6791), 5 mM MgCl2 (Fluka, 63020), 1 mM EGTA (Sigma, E3889), 0.01% BRIJ-35 (Sigma, PI 254) and 2 mM DTT. The reaction was started by addition of 2x ATP/LRRKtide solution in assay buffer such that the final concentration was 400 nM LRRKtide and 25 pM ATP. After 60 min incubation at room temperature, the reaction was stopped by addition of 10 pL of 2x stop solution containing a final concentation of 2 nM anti-pERM antibody and 10 mM EDTA. After a 30 min incubation at RT, the TR-FRET signal was measured on a Wallac 2104 EnVision® multilabel reader at an excitation wavelength of 340 nm and reading emission at 520 nm and 495 nm. The ratio of the 520 nm and 495 nm emission was used to analyze the data.
The results of the LRRK2 kinase activity assay are shown below:
