2-(1H-indazol-3-yl)-3H-imidazo[4,5-C]pyridines and their anti-inflammatory uses thereof
Indazole compounds for treating various diseases and pathologies are provided. More particularly, the use of an indazole compound or analogs thereof, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases or disorders is provided.
1. A method of treating inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I)
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
wherein the compound of Formula (I) is substantially present in the composition as a polymorph present as a non-stoichiometric hydrate of Form 1 having between 1% and 20% by weight water and having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at ° 2θ values of 6.8±0.2, 12.4±0.2, and 18.5±0.2, and
wherein less than 20% by weight of the amount of the compound of Formula (I) in the composition is polymorph Form 9 having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at ° 2θ values of 4.9±0.2, 18.6±0.2, and 21.1±0.2.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein administration of the compound of Formula (I) results in the decrease in the amount of a biomarker linked to inflammation in the subject.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the biomarker is a proinflammatory cytokine.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the proinflammatory cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12/IL23p40, IL-13, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-23, TNFα, TNF-β, IFN-γ, CXCL1, CD38, CD40, CD69, IgG, IP-10, L-17A, MCP-1, PGE2, sIL-2, and sIL-6.
5. A method of decreasing the amount of a biomarker associated with inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in a subject, the method comprising administering to the subject a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I)
or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the compound of Formula (I) is substantially present in the composition as a polymorph present as a non-stoichiometric hydrate of Form 1 having between 1% and 20% by weight water and having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at ° 2θ values of 6.8±0.2, 12.4±0.2, and 18.5±0.2, and
wherein less than 20% by weight of the amount of the compound of Formula (I) in the composition is polymorph Form 9 having an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising peaks at ° 2θ values of 4.9±0.2, 18.6±0.2, and 21.1±0.2.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the biomarker is a proinflammatory cytokine.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the proinflammatory cytokine is selected from the group consisting of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12/IL23p40, IL-13, IL-15, IL-16, IL-17A, IL-17F, IL-21, IL-23, TNFα, TNF-β, IFN-γ, CXCL1, CD38, CD40, CD69, IgG, IP-10, L-17A, MCP-1, PGE2, sIL-2, and sIL-6.
8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the amount of the biomarker is decreased in the subject by an amount of between about 10% and about 100%.
