Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is the National Stage of International Application No. PCT/GB2020/053357 filed Dec. 23, 2020, which claims priority to and benefit of European Application Nos. 19219531.1 filed Dec. 23, 2019, 20162545.6 filed Mar. 11, 2020, 20189623.0 filed Aug. 5, 2020, and 20205768.3 filed Nov. 4, 2020, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to compounds for use in treating or preventing inflammatory diseases or diseases associated with an undesirable immune response, and to related compositions, methods, uses and intermediate compounds. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, uveitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represent a significant burden to society because of life-long debilitating illness, increased mortality and high costs for therapy and care (Straub R. H. and Schradin C., 2016). Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most widespread medicines employed for treating inflammatory disorders, but these agents do not prevent the progression of the inflammation and only treat the accompanying symptoms. Glucocorticoids are powerful anti-inflammatory agents, making them emergency treatments for acute inflammatory flares, but given longer term these medicines give rise to a plethora of unwanted side-effects and may also be subject to resistance (Straub R. H. and Cutolo M., 2016). Thus, considerable unmet medical need still exists for the treatment of inflammatory disorders and extensive efforts to discover new medicines to alleviate the burden of these diseases is ongoing (Hanke T. et al., 2016). Dimethyl fumarate (DMF), a diester of the citric acid cycle (CAC) intermediate fumaric acid, is utilised as an oral therapy for treating psoriasis (Brück J. et al., 2018) and multiple sclerosis (Mills E. A. et al., 2018). Importantly, following oral administration, none of this agent is detected in 35 plasma (Dibbert S. et al., 2013), the only drug-related compounds observed being the hydrolysis product monomethyl fumarate (MMF) and glutathione (GSH) conjugates of both the parent (DMF) and metabolite (MMF). DMF's mechanism of action is complex and controversial. This compound's efficacy has been attributed to a multiplicity of different phenomena involving covalent modification of proteins and the conversion of “prodrug” DMF to MMF. In particular, the following pathways have been highlighted as being of relevance to DMF's anti-inflammatory effects: 1) activation of the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) pathway as a consequence of reaction of the electrophilic α,β-unsaturated ester moiety with nucleophilic cysteine residues on kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) (Brennan M. S. et al., 2015); 2) induction of activating transcription factor 3 (ATF3), leading to suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 (Müller S. et al., 2017); 3) inactivation of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) through succination of its catalytic cysteine residue with a Michael accepting unsaturated ester (Kornberg M. D. et al., 2018; Angiari S. and O'Neill L. A., 2018); 4) inhibition of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB)-driven cytokine production (Gillard G. O. et al., 2015); 5) prevention of the association of PKCθ with the costimulatory receptor CD28 to reduce the production of IL-2 and block T-cell activation (Blewett M. M. et al., 2016); 6) reaction of the electrophilic α,β-unsaturated ester with the nucleophilic thiol group of anti-oxidant GSH, impacting cellular responses to oxidative stress (Lehmann J. C. U. et al., 2007); 7) agonism of the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCA2) by the MMF generated in vivo through DMF hydrolysis (von Glehn F. et al., 2018); 8) allosteric covalent inhibition of the p90 ribosomal S6 kinases (Andersen J. L. et al., 2018); 9) inhibition of the expression and function of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and its target genes, such as IL-8 (Zhao G. et al., 2014); and 10) inhibition of Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced M1 and K63 ubiquitin chain formation (McGuire V. A. et al., 2016). In general, with the exception of HCA2 agonism (Tang H. et al., 2008), membrane permeable diester DMF tends to exhibit much more profound biological effects in cells compared to its monoester counterpart MMF. However, the lack of systemic exposure of DMF in vivo has led some researchers to assert that MMF is, in fact, the principal active component following oral DMF administration (Mrowietz U. et al., 2018). As such, it is evident that some of the profound biology exerted by DMF in cells is lost because of hydrolysis in vivo to MMF. Recently, it has been discovered that, during inflammatory macrophage acti
