Description
This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/004,719, filed Apr. 3, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. The disclosure provides compounds that are capable of modulating alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) activity and methods of treating alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) by administering one or more such compounds. AATD is a genetic disorder characterized by low circulating levels of AAT. While treatments for AATD exist, there is currently no cure. AAT is produced primarily in liver cells and secreted into the blood, but it is also made by other cell types including lung epithelial cells and certain white blood cells. AAT inhibits several serine proteases secreted by inflammatory cells (most notably neutrophil elastase [NE], proteinase 3, and cathepsin G) and thus protects organs such as the lung from protease-induced damage, especially during periods of inflammation. The mutation most commonly associated with AATD involves a substitution of lysine for glutamic acid (E342K) in the SERPINA1 gene that encodes the AAT protein. This mutation, known as the Z mutation or the Z-allele, leads to misfolding of the translated protein, which is therefore not secreted into the bloodstream and can polymerize within the producing cell. Consequently, circulating AAT levels in individuals homozygous for the Z-allele (PiZZ) are markedly reduced; only approximately 15% of mutant Z-AAT protein folds correctly and is secreted by the cell. An additional consequence of the Z mutation is that the secreted Z-AAT has reduced activity compared to wild-type protein, with 40% to 80% of normal antiprotease activity (American thoracic society/European respiratory society, Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2003; 168(7):818-900; and Ogushi et al. J Clin Invest. 1987; 80(5):1366-74). The accumulation of polymerized Z-AAT protein within hepatocytes results in a gain-of-function cytotoxicity that can result in cirrhosis or liver cancer later in life and neonatal liver disease in 12% of patients. This accumulation may spontaneously remit but can be fatal in a small number of children. The deficiency of circulating AAT results in unregulated protease activity that degrades lung tissue over time, resulting in emphysema, a form of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This effect is severe in PiZZ individuals and typically manifests in middle age, resulting in a decline in quality of life and shortened lifespan (mean 68 years of age) (Tanash et al. Int J Chron Obstruct Pulm Dis. 2016; 11:1663-9). The effect is more pronounced in PiZZ individuals who smoke, resulting in an even further shortened lifespan (58 years). (Piitulainen and Tanash, COPD 2015; 12(1):36-41). PiZZ individuals account for the majority of those with clinically relevant AATD lung disease. Accordingly, there is a need for additional and effective treatments for AATD. A milder form of AATD is associated with the SZ genotype in which the Z-allele is combined with an S-allele. The S-allele is associated with somewhat reduced levels of circulating AAT but causes no cytotoxicity in liver cells. The result is clinically significant lung disease but not liver disease. (Fregonese and Stolk, Orphanet J Rare Dis. 2008; 33:16). As with the ZZ genotype, the deficiency of circulating AAT in subjects with the SZ genotype results in unregulated protease activity that degrades lung tissue over time and can result in emphysema, particularly in smokers. The current standard of care for AAT deficient individuals who have or show signs of developing significant lung or liver disease is augmentation therapy or protein replacement therapy. Augmentation therapy involves administration of a human AAT protein concentrate purified from pooled donor plasma to augment the missing AAT. Although infusions of the plasma protein have been shown to improve survival or slow the rate of emphysema progression, augmentation therapy is often not sufficient under challenging conditions such as during an active lung infection. Similarly, although protein replacement therapy shows promise in delaying progression of disease, augmentation does not restore the normal physiological regulation of AAT in patients and efficacy has been difficult to demonstrate. In addition, augmentation therapy requires weekly visits for treatment and augmentation therapy cannot address liver disease, which is driven by the toxic gain-of-function of the Z-allele. Thus, there is a continuing need for new and more effective treatments for AATD.
