This invention relates to roulticyclic compounds, compositions comprising them, and their use in the treatment, prevention and naanagement of diseases and disorders.
1. BACKGROUND
The neurotransmitter serotonin [5-hydroxytryptainine (5-HT)) is involved in multiple central nervous facets of mood control and in regulating sleep, anxiety, alcoholism, drug abuse, food intake, and sexual behavior. In peripheral tissues, serotonin is reportedly implicated in the regulation of vascular tone, gut motility, primary hemostasis, and cell-mediated immune responses. Walther, DJ., et al., Science 299:76 (2003).
The enzyme tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) catalyzes the rate limiting step of the biosynthesis of serotonin. Two isoforms of TPH have been reported: TPH1, which is expressed in the periphery, primarily in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract; and TPI12, which is expressed in the brain. Id. The isofoma TPH1 is encoded by the tphl gene; TPH2 is encoded by the tph2 gene. Id.
Mice genetically deficient for the tphl gene ("knockout mice") have been reported.
In one case, the mice reportedly expressed normal amounts of serotonin in classical serotonergic brain regions, but largely lacked serotonin in the periphery. Id.
In another, the knockout mice exhibited abnormal cardiac activity, which was attributed to a lack of peripheral serotonin. COt6, F., et al., PNAS 100(23):13525-13530 (2003).
Because serotonin is involved in so many biochemical processes, drugs that affect serotonin levels are often attended by adverse effects. Thus, a need exists for new ways of' treating diseases and disorders that are affected by serotonin.

Aspects of the invention may be understood with reference to the attached figure.
Figure 1 shows the effects of a potent TPH1 inhibitor of the invention in the mouse gastrointestinal tract and brain after oral administration. All data are presented as percentage of the mean of the control (vehicle-dosed) group. Error bars are S.E.M. N = 5 per group.
The symbols are *, p < 0.05 vs control group. For the brain data, p = 0.5, one-way ANOVA.
5. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This invention is based, in part, on the discovery that knocking out the tphl gene in mice significantly reduces levels of GI serotonin, yet causes little, if any, measurable effect on the central nervous system (CNS).
This invention is also based on the discovery of compounds that inhibit TPH
(e.g., TPH1). When administered to mammals, preferred compounds of the invention reduce serotonin levels, and may be used in the treatment, prevention and management of a wide range of diseases and disorders.

Similarly, the term "such as" has the same meaning as the term "such as, but not limited to."
Unless otherwise indicated, one or more adjectives immediately preceding a series of nouns is to be construed as applying to each of the nouns. For example, the phrase
9 "optionally substituted alky, aryl, or heteroaryl" has the same meaning as "optionally substituted alky, optionally substituted aryl, or optionally substituted heteroaryl."
It should be noted that a chemical moiety that forms part of a larger compound may be described herein using a name commonly accorded it when it exists as a single molecule or a name commonly accorded its radical. For example, the terms "pyridine" and "ppidyl"
are accorded the same meaning when used to describe a moiety attached to other chemical moieties. Thus, the two phrases "XOH, wherein X is pyridyl" and "XOH, wherein X is pyridine" are accorded the same meaning, and encompass the compounds pyridin-2-ol, pyridin-3-ol and pyridin-4-ol.
It should also be noted that if the stereochemistry of a structure or a portion of a structure is not indicated with, for example, bold or dashed lines, the structure or the portion of the structure is to be interpreted as encompassing all stereoisonaers of it. Similarly, names of compounds having one or more chiral centers that do not specify the stereochemistry of those centers encompass pure stereoisomers an.d mixtures thereof. Moreover, any atom shown in a drawing with unsatisfied valences is assumed to be attached to enough hydrogen atoms to satisfy the valences. In addition, chemical bonds depicted with one solid line parallel to one dashed line encompass both single and double (e.g., aromatic) bonds, if valences permit.

The groups A, RI, R2, R3, R6 and m are defined elsewhere herein. The moieties Z"1, Z"2, Z"3, and Z"4 are also defined herein, although it is to be understood that with regard to the scheme shown above, one of them is attached to the phenyl ring. For example, Z"1 and Z"4 may be independently CRio (which is defined herein), while Z"2 is N
and Z"3 is a carbon atom bound to the adjacent phenyl ring.
The individual reactions shown above can be performed using conditions known in the art. For example, palladium catalysts and conditions suitable for the Suzuki coupling of the boron and halogen-containing moieties are well known, and examples are provided below. In addition, types and appropriate uses of protecting groups are well known, as are methods of their removal and replacement with Moieties such as, but not limited to, hydrogen (e.g., hydrolysis under acidic or basic conditions).
The A moiety can be bicyclic (e.g., optionally substituted biphenyl). In such cases, the starting material containing A can be prepared as shown below:

A2 B(OR)2 Y2 Ai X'H

X'H
wherein Y2 is halogen or pseudohalogen, and each R is independently.hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, alkyl-aryl, alkyl-heterocycle, aryl, or heterocycle, or are taken together with the oxygen atoms to which they are attached to provide a cyclic dioxaborolane (e.g., 4,4,5,5-tetrarnethy1-1,3,2-dioxaborolane).

Scheme 7 Using methods known in the art, the synthetic approaches shown above are readily modified to obtain a wide range of compounds. For example, chiral chromatography and other techniques known in the art may be used to separate stereoisomers of the final product.
See, e.g., Jacques, J., et al., Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions (Wiley Interscience, New York, 1981); Wilen, S. H., et al., Tetrahedron 33:2725 (1977); Eliel, E.
L., Stereochemistry of Carbon Compounds (McGraw Hill, NY, 1962); and Wilen, S. H., Tables of Resolving Agents and Optical Resolutions, p. 268 (E.L. Eliel, Ed., Univ. of Notre Dame Press, Notre Dame, IN, 1972). In addition, as shown in some of the schemes above, syntheses may utilize chiral starting materials to yield stereomerically enriched or pure products.

This invention encompasses methods of treating, preventing and managing various diseases and disorders mediated by peripheral serotonin, which comprise inhibiting TPH1 activity in a patient in need of such treatment, prevention or management. In a particular embodiment, the inhibition is accomplished by administering to the patient a therapeutically or prophylactically effective amount of a potent TPH1 inhibitor. Examples of potent TPH1 inhibitors are disclosed herein.
Particular diseases and disorders include carcinoid syndrome and gastrointestinal diseases and disorders. Examples of specific diseases and disorders include abdominal pain (e.g., associated with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid), anxiety, carcinoid syndrome, celiac disease, constipation (e.g., constipation having an iatrogenic cause, and idiopathic constipation), Crohn's disease, depression, diabetes, diarrhea (e.g., bile acid diarrhea, enterotoxin-induced secretory diarrhea, diarrhea having an iatrogenic cause, idiopathic diarrhea (e.g., idiopathic secretory diarrhea), and traveler's diarrhea), emesis, functional abdominal pain, functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome (1BS), lactose intolerance, MEN types I and II, Ogilvie's syndrome, Pancreatic Cholera Syndrome, pancreatic insufficiency, pheochromacytoma, scleroderma, somatization disorder, and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
In particular methods of the invention, the treatment, management and/or prevention of a disease or disorder is achieved while avoiding adverse effects associated with alteration of central nervous system (CNS) serotonin levels. Examples of such adverse effects include agitation, anxiety disorders, depression, and sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia and sleep disturbance).
5.5. Pharmaceutical Compositions This invention encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more compounds of the invention. Certain pharmaceutical compositions are single unit dosage forms suitable for oral, mucosal (e.g., nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., subcutaneous, intravenous, bolus injection, intramuscular, or intraarterial), or transdermal administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as soft elastic gelatin capsules;
cachets; troches;
lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; ointments; cataplasms (poultices);
pastes; powders;
dressings; creams; plasters; solutions; patches; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels;
liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g., aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or a water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; and sterile solids (e.g., crystalline or amorphous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient.
The formulation should suit the mode of administration. For example, the oral administration of a compound susceptible to degradation in the stomach may be achieved using an enteric coating. Similarly, a formulation may contain ingredients that facilitate delivery of the active ingredient(s) to the site election. For example, compounds may be administered in liposomal formulations in order to protect them from degradative enzymes, facilitate transport in circulatory system, and effect their delivery across cell membranes.
Similarly, poorly soluble compounds may be incorporated into liquid dosage forms (and dosage forms suitable for reconstitution) with the aid of solubilizing agents, emulsifiers and surfactants such as, but not limited to, cyclodextrins (e.g., a-cyclodextrin, 13-cyclodextrin, Captisolt and En.capsinTm (see, e.g., Davis and Brewster, Nat. Rev. Drug Disc.
3:1023-1034 (2004)), Labrasolt Labrafilt Labrafac , cremator, and non-aqueous solvents, such as, but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl carbonate, ethyl acetate, benzyl alcohol, benzyl benzoate, propylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, dimethyl formarnide, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), biocompatible oils (e.g., cottonseed, groundnut, corn, germ, olive, castor, and sesame oils), glycerol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, polyethylene glycols, fatty acid esters of sorbitan, and mixtures thereof (e.g., DMSO:comoil).
Poorly soluble compounds may also be incorporated into suspensions using other techniques known in the art. For example, nanoparticles of a compound may be suspended in a liquid to provide a nanosuspension (see, e.g., Rabinow, Nature Rev. Drug Disc. 3:785-796 (2004)). Nanoparticle forms of compounds described herein may be prepared by the methods described in US. Patent Publication Nos. 2004-0164194, 2004-0195413, 2004-0251332, 2005-0042177 Al, 2005-003.1691 Al, and U.S. Patent Nos. 5,145,684, 5,510,118, 5,518,187, 5,534,270, 5,543,133, 5,662,883, 5,665,331, 5,718,388, 5,718,919, 5,834,025, 5,862,999, 6,431,478, 6,742,734, 6,745,962. In one embodiment, the nanopartiele form comprises particles having an average particle size of less than about 2000 nm, less than about 1000 nm, or less than about 500 nm.
The composition, shape, and type of a dosage form will typically vary depending with use. For example, a dosage form used in the acute treatment of a disease may contain larger amounts of one or more of the active ingredients it comprises thari a dosage form used in the chronic treatment of the same disease. Similarly, a parenteral .dosage form may contain smaller amounts of one or more of the active ingredients it comprises than an oral dosage form used to treat the same disease. How to account for such differences will be apparent to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990).
5.5.1. Oral Dosage Forms Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as, but are not limited to, tablets (e.g., chewable tablets), caplets, capsules, and liquids (e.g., flavored syrups). Such dosage forms contain predetermined amounts of active ingredients, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See generally, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing, Easton PA (1990).
Typical oral dosage forms are prepared by combining the active ingredient(s) in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of preparation desired for administration.
Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous oral dosage unit forms. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or non-aqueous techniques. Such dosage forms can be prepared by conventional methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredients with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary.
Disintegrants may be incorporated in solid dosage forms to facility rapid dissolution.
Lubricants may also be incorporated to facilitate the manufacture of dosage forms (e.g., tablets).
5.5.2. Parenteral Dosage Forms Parenteral dosage forms can be administered to patients by various routes including subcutaneous, intravenous (including bolus injection), intramuscular, and intraarterial.
Because their administration typically bypasses patients' natural defenses against contaminants, parenteral dosage forms are specifically sterile or capable of being sterilized prior to administration to a patient. Examples of parenteral dosage forms include solutions ready for injection, dry products ready to be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle for injection, suspensions ready for injection, and emulsions.
Suitable vehicles that can be used to provide parenteral dosage forms of the invention are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples include: Water for Injection USP;
aqueous vehicles such as Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer's Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and Sodium Chloride Injection, and Lactated Ringer's Injection; water-miscible =
vehicles such as ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol;
and non- =
aqueous vehicles such as corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate.
6. EXAMPLES
6.1. Production of tphl Gene Disrupted Mice Exon 3 of the murine TPH1 gene was removed by gene targeting essentially as described by Waffler et al., Biotechniques 26(6):1150-6 (1999). The resulting knockout animals displayed normal TPH activity in the brain but drastically reduced TPH
expression in the gut.
6.2. Physiological Effects of tphl Gene Disruption Mice homozygous (-/-) for the disruption of tphl were studied in conjunction with mice heterozygous (+/-) for the disruption of the gene, along with wild-type (+/+) litter mates. During this analysis, the mice were subject to a medical work-up using an integrated suite of medical diagnostic procedures designed to assess the function of the major organ systems in a mammalian subject. By studying the homozygous (-/-) knockout mice in the described numbers and in conjunction with heterozygous(+/-) and wild-type (+/+) litter mates, more reliable and repeatable data was obtained.
Disruption of tphl gene primarily affected the GI tract isoforrn of TPH
(TPH1), and had little or no effect on the brain isoforrn of TPH (TPH2). Disruption of the gene caused no measurable adverse effects on the central nervous system. This was confirmed by serotonin immunochemistry, which showed that serotonin was greatly reduced or absent in the stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon, while serotonin levels were unaffected in raphe neurons.
Mice homozygous (-/-) for the disruption of the tphl gene had a decrease in thrombosis without a significant increase in bleeding or other adverse indications. =

In Vitro Inhibition Assays Human TPH1, TPH2, tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenylalanine hydroxylase (PH) were all generated using genes having the following accession numbers, respectively:
X52836, AY098914, X05290, and U49897.
The full-length coding sequence of human TPH1 was cloned into the bacterial expression vector pET24 (Novagen, Madison, WI, USA). A single colony of BL21(DE3) cells harboring the expression vector was inoculated into 50 ml of L broth (LB)- kanamycin media and grown up at 37 C overnight with shaking. Half of the culture (25 ml) was then transferred into 3 L of media containing 1.5% yeast extract, 2% Bacto Peptone, 0.1 mM
tryptophan, 0.1 mM ferrous ammonium sulfate, and 50 mIvI phosphate buffer (pH
7.0), and grown to 0D600= 6 at 37 C with oxygen supplemented at 40%, pH maintained at 7.0, and glucose added. Expression of TPH1 was induced with 15% D-lactose over a period of 10 hours at 25 C. The cells were spun down and washed once with phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
TPH1 was purified by affinity chromatography based on its binding to pterin.
The cell pellet was resuspended in a lysis buffer (100 m1/20 g) containing 50 mM
Tris-C1, pH 7.6, 0.5 M NaCI, 0.1% Tween-20, 2 inM EDTA, 5 mM DTT, protease inhibitor mixture (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA) and 1 mM phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and the cells were lyzed with a microfiuidizer. The lysate was centrifuged and the supernatant was loaded onto a pterin-coupled sepharose 4B column that was equilibrated with a buffer containing 50 m1VI Tris, pH 8.0, 2 M NaC1, 0.1% Tween-20, 0.5 m1VI
EDTA, and 2 mM DTT. The column was washed with 50 ml of this buffer and TPH1 was eluded with a buffer containing 30 mM NaHCO3, pH 10.5, 0.5 M NaC1, 0.1% Tween-20, 0.5 mM
EDTA, 2 mM DTT, and 10% glycerol. Eluted enzyme was immediately neutralized with 200 mM
KH2PO4, pH 7.0, 0.5 M NaCi, 20 mM DTT, 0.5mM EDTA, and 10% glycerol, and stored at -80 C.
Human tryptophan hydroxylase type 11 (TPH2), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) were expressed and purified essentially in the same way, except the cells were supplemented with tyrosine for TH and phenylalanine for PAH during growth.
TPH1 and TPH2 activities were measured in a reaction mixture containing 50 mM

morpholinepropanesulfonic acid (MOPS), pH 7.0, 60 AM tryptophan, 100 mM
ammonium sulfate, 100 AM ferrous arnmonium sulfate, 0.5 mM tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine (TCEP), 0.3 m1VI 6-methyl tetrahydropterin, 0.05 mg/ml catalase, and 0.9 mM DTT. The reactions were initiated by adding TPH1 to a final concentration of 7.5 nM. Initial velocity of the reactions was determined by following the change of fluorescence at 360 nm (excitation wavelength = 300 nm). TPH1 and TPH2 inhibition was determined by measuring their activities at various compound concentrations, and the potency of a given compound was calculated using the equation:

v 0¨ b v = b +
1+I [C] )D
c50]) where v is the initial velocity at a given compound concentration C, v0 is the v when C = 0, b is the background signal, D is the Hill slope which is approximately equal to 1, and 1,50 is the concentration of the compound that inhibits half of the maximum enzyme activity.
Human TH and PAH activities were determined by measuring the amount of31120 generated. using L-[3,4-311]-tyrosine and L44-3H]-phenylalanine, respectively.
The enzyme (100 nM) was first incubated with its substrate at 0.1 mM for about 10 minutes, and added to a reaction mixture containing 50 mM MOPS, pH 7.2, 100 mM ammonium sulfate, 0.05%
Tween-20, 1.5 mM TCEP, 100 M ferrous ammonium sulfate, 0.1 m1\4 tyrosine or phenylalanine, 0.2 mM 6-methyl tetrahydropterin, 0.05 mg/m1 of catalase, and 2 mM DTT.
The reactions were allowed to proceed for 10-15 minutes and stopped by the addition of 2 M
HC1. The mixtures were then filtered through activated charcoal and the radioactivity in the filtrate was determined by scintillation counting. Activities of of compounds on TH and = PAH were determined using this assay and calculated in the same way as on TPH1 and TPH2.
6.56. Cell-Based Inhibition Assays Two types of cell lines were used for screening: RBL2H3 is a rat mastocytoma cell line, which contains TPH1 and makes 5-hydroxytrypotamine (5HT) spontaneously;
BON is a human carcinoid cell line, which contains TPH1 and makes 5-hydroxytryptophan (5HTP).
The CBAs were performed in 96-well plate format. The mobile phase used in contained 97% of 100 mM sodium acetate, pH 3.5 and 3% acetonitrile. A Waters column (4.6 x 50 mm) was used with Waters HPLC (model 2795). A multi-channel fluorometer (model 2475) was used to monitor the flow through by setting at 280 nn as the excitation wavelength and 360 nm as the emission wavelength.
RBL CBA: Cells were grown in complete media (containing 5 % bovine serum) for 3-4 hours to allow cells to attach to plate wells (7K cell/well). Compounds were then added to each well in the concentration range of 0.016 M to 11.36 M. The controls were cells in complete media without any compound present. Cells, were harvested after 3 days of incubation at 37 C. Cells were >95% confluent without compound present. Media were removed from plate and cells were lysed with equal volume of 0.1 N NaOH. A
large portion of the cell lysate was treated by mixing with equal volume of 1M TCA and then filtered through glass fiber. The filtrates were loaded on reverse phase HPLC for analyzing 5HT
concentrations. A small portion of the cell lysate was also taken to measure protein concentration of the cells that reflects the cytotoxicity of the compounds at the concentration used. The protein concentration was measured by using BCA method.
The average of 5HT level in cells without compound treated was used as the maximum value in the IC50 derivation according to the equation provided above.
The minimum value of 5HT is either set at 0 or from cells that treated with the highest concentration of compound if a compound is not cytotoxic at that concentration.
BON CBA: Cells were grown in equal volume of DMEM and F12K with 5 % bovine serum for 3-4 hours (20K cell/well) and compound was added at a concentration range of 0.07 M to 50 M. The cells were incubated at 37 C overnight. Fifty p.M of the culture supernatant was then taken for 5HTP measurement. The supernatant was mixed with equal volume of 1M TCA, then filtered through glass fiber. The filtrate was loaded on reverse phase HPLC for 5HTP concentration measurement. The cell viability was measured by treating the remaining cells with Promega Celltiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay.
The compound potency was then calculated in the same way as in the RBL CBA.
6.57. In Vivo Effects The in vivo effects of a potent TPH1 inhibitor of the invention were evaluated in several studies by determining the change of 5-HT levels in the intestines and brains of mice following oral administration of the compound.
The compoundvas formulated in different vehicles to provide either a suspension or solution. Generally, 14-week-old male C57 albino mice were dosed once daily by oral gavage at 5 ml/kg for four consecutive days. Five hours after the last dose, the animals were quickly sacrificed. Various regions of the intestinal tract and whole brain were taken and frozen immediately. 5-HT was extracted from the tissues and measured by HPLC.
Blood samples were taken for exposure analysis.
The potent TPH1 inhibitor was found to reduce 5-HT levels in both the small and large intestine, but not in the brain. In one study, the compound was formulated in H20 and = 30 administered to mice at four different dose levels: 15, 50, 150, and 500 mg/kg, once daily by oral gavage. As shown in Fig. 1, the compound caused significant reduction of 5-HT in the jejunum and ileum in a dose-dependent fashion. In the colon, statistically significant reduction of 5-HT was seen at the 50, 150, and 500 mg/kg/day dose levels. No significant change of 5-HT levels was observed in the brain at any of the dose levels.
