Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an acrylamide compound. More specifically, the present invention relates to an acrylamide compound promoting platelet production from platelet progenitor cells such as megakaryocytes in vitro.


BACKGROUND ART

Platelet preparations are administrated to patients who suffer from massive bleeding during surgery or injury, or tend to bleed due to decrease of platelets after treatment with an anti-cancer agent for treatment and/or prevention of unexpected bleeding.


Currently, the platelet preparations rely on the donation of blood, and the shelf life is about 4 days, which is extremely short. Further, as long as the platelet preparations are supplied only by the donation of blood, it is expected that reduction of blood donors may lead to shortage of platelet preparations in the near future.


In order to meet these needs, a method for producing platelets in vitro has been studied.


As the method for producing platelets in vitro, a method for obtaining megakaryocytes by differentiating various types of stem cells followed by the culturing thereof to release platelets into the medium has been developed. Takayama, et al., for example, have succeeded in inducing human ES cells to differentiate into megakaryocytes and platelets (NPL 1).


In addition, as a method for producing platelets from hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro, a method of culturing hematopoietic progenitor cells in the presence of an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist and thrombopoietin (TPO) or a Rho-associated coiled-coil forming kinase (ROCK) inhibitor has been proposed (PTL 1, 2 and 3, and NPL 2, 3 and 4).


Indolyl acrylamide compounds has been reported as a transcription factor inhibitor (PTL 4 and NPL 5)

Here, maturation of megakaryocytes refers to enabling the megakaryocytes to become multinucleated and release platelets.


There are no particular limitations on the medium used when megakaryocytes are cultured, and a known medium or a medium analogous thereto that is suitable for producing platelets from megakaryocytes can be appropriately used. For example, a medium used to culture animal cells can be prepared as a basal medium. Examples of the basal medium include IMDM medium, Medium 199, Eagle's minimum essential medium (EMEM), αMEM, Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM), Ham's F12 medium, RPMI 1640 medium, Fischer's medium, Neurobasal medium (Life Technologies Corporation), and a mixed medium thereof.


The medium may contain serum or plasma, or may be serum-free. In the case of using serum, fetal bovine serum (FBS) or human serum can be used. The medium can contain one or more substances such as albumin, insulin, transferrin, selenium, fatty acids, trace elements, 2-mercaptoethanol, thiolglycerol, monothioglycerol (MTG), lipid, amino acids (such as L-glutamine), ascorbic acid, heparin, non-essential amino acids, vitamins, growth factors, low molecular weight compounds, antibiotics, antioxidants, pyruvic acid, buffers, inorganic salts or cytokines as necessary. Cytokines are proteins that promote hematopoietic differentiation, and examples thereof include VEGF, TPO, TPO-receptor agonist, SCF, insulin-transferrin-selenite (ITS) supplement, ADAM inhibitors, and the like.


The agents and their amounts to be used, timing of addition to the medium, platelet progenitor cells, their culturing methods and culturing conditions, and the like, described above for the platelet production promoting agent and the platelet production method are similarly applied to other embodiments of the present invention (agents, uses, methods, etc.).

TEST EXAMPLE
Test Example 1 (Platelet Production: Shake Culturing)

The immortalized megakaryocyte cell line obtained according to the method described in WO 2016/204256 was washed twice with D-PBS(−) and then cultured in medium not containing doxycycline to terminate forced expression (cultured under conditions where gene expression is OFF). Shake culturing at 100 rpm was performed in the following medium after the cells were seeded in a 125-mL polycarbonate Erlenmeyer flask (Corning #431143) at 25 mL/flask and a seeding density of 1×105 cells/mL. Culturing conditions were 37° C. and 5% CO2.


The medium was obtained by adding the following components to IMDM serving as the basal medium (concentrations indicate final concentrations).

    • FBS 15%
    • L-Glutamine 2 mM
    • ITS 100-fold dilution
    • MTG 450 μM
    • Ascorbic acid 50 μg/mL
    • SCF 50 ng/mL
    • TA-316 0.1 μg/mL
    • ADAM inhibitor 15 μM
    • ROCK inhibitor 0.5 μM


Culturing was initiated by adding an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist (Compound A5, final concentration: 0.1 μM) or DMSO (Control) to the medium at the same time as seeding the cells. The compound of the present invention (Examples 1 to 61, final concentration: 10 μM) was added to the medium at Day 3 after initiation of the culturing. After culturing for 6 days in total, the number of platelets was measured. The measurement method was as follows. The same operation was performed for control.


At 6 days after initiation of the culturing under conditions where gene expression was OFF, a part of the culture supernatant was collected, and suspended with the following antibody and Flow-Count Fluorospheres (Beckman Coulter #7547053) to perform staining.

    • APC-labeled anti-CD41 antibody (BioLegend #303710)
    • eFluor 450-labeled anti-CD42a antibody (eBioscience #48-0428-42)
    • PE-labeled anti-CD42b antibody (BioLegend #303906)


At 30 minutes after staining, number of platelets (CD41, CD42a and CD42b-positive cells) was counted by using FACSVerse (manufactured by BD Japan) with Flow-Count Fluorospheres. The number of platelets was given as a percentage of the control.


Table 3 shows the results of culturing with DMSO added at the same time as cell seeding, and Table 4 shows the results of culturing with an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist added at the same time as cell seeding.


In the Tables, + and ++ indicate the amount of platelets production increased by not less than 1.5 times and less than 6.5 times, and not less than 6.5 times, respectively, as compared to the control.


The compounds of Examples 60 and 61 are known compounds, and were manufactured by a method described in WO 2019/167973.

Culturings were performed in the same manner as in Test Example 1 by using the compounds of Examples 57 to 61 and adding Compound A1 (final concentration: 0.75 μM), Compound A2 (final concentration: 0.1 μM), Compound A3 (final concentration: 10 μM), Compound A4 (final concentration: 1 μM) and Compounds A6 to A8 (final concentration: 0.1 μM) as aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist. The results are shown in the following Table 5, together with the results of comparative examples wherein culturings were performed by using only an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist.
