The present disclosure is generally directed to compounds which can inhibit adaptor associated kinase 1 (AAK1), compositions comprising such compounds, and methods for inhibiting AAK1.
Adaptor associated kinase 1 (AAK1) is a member of the Ark1/Prk1 family of serine/threonine kinases. AAK1 mRNA exists in two splice forms termed short and long. The long form predominates and is highly expressed in brain and heart (Henderson and Conner, Mol. Biol. Cell. 2007, 18, 2698-2706). AAK1 is enriched in synaptosomal preparations and is co-localized with endocytic structures in cultured cells. AAK1 modulates clatherin coated endocytosis, a process that is important in synaptic vesicle recycling and receptor-mediated endocytosis. AAK1 associates with the AP2 complex, a hetero-tetramer which links receptor cargo to the clatherin coat. The binding of clatherin to AAK1 stimulates AAK1 kinase activity (Conner et. al., Traffic 2003, 4, 885-890; Jackson et. al., J. Cell. Biol. 2003, 163, 231-236). AAK1 phosphorylates the mu-2 subunit of AP-2, which promotes the binding of mu-2 to tyrosine containing sorting motifs on cargo receptors (Ricotta et. al., J. Cell Bio. 2002, 156, 791-795; Conner and Schmid, J. Cell Bio. 2002, 156, 921-929). Mu2 phosphorylation is not required for receptor uptake, but phosphorylation enhances the efficiency of internalization (Motely et. al., Mol. Biol. Cell. 2006, 17, 5298-5308).
AAK1 has been identified as an inhibitor of Neuregulin-1/ErbB4 signaling in PCl2 cells. Loss of AAK1 expression through RNA interference mediated gene silencing or treatment with the kinase inhibitor K252a (which inhibits AAK1 kinase activity) results in the potentiation of Neuregulin-1 induced neurite outgrowth. These treatments result in increased expression of ErbB4 and accumulation of ErbB4 in or near the plasma membrane (Kuai et. al., Chemistry and Biology 2011, 18, 891-906). NRG1 and ErbB4 are putative schizophrenia susceptibility genes (Buonanno, Brain Res. Bull. 2010, 83, 122-131). SNPs in both genes have been associated with multiple schizophrenia endophenotypes (Greenwood et. al., Am. J. Psychiatry 2011, 168, 930-946). Neuregulin 1 and ErbB4 KO mouse models have shown schizophrenia relevant morphological changes and behavioral phenotypes (Jaaro-Peled et. al., Schizophrenia Bulletin 2010, 36, 301-313; Wen et. al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 2010, 107, 1211-1216). In addition, a single nucleotide polymorphism in an intron of the AAK1 gene has been associated with the age of onset of Parkinson's disease (Latourelle et. al., BMC Med. Genet. 2009, 10, 98). These results suggest that inhibition of AAK1 activity may have utility in the treatment of schizophrenia, cognitive deficits in schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, neuropathic pain, bipolar disorder, and Alzheimer's disease.

The assays were performed in U-bottom 384-well plates. The final assay volume was 30 μl prepared from 15 μl additions of enzyme and substrates (fluoresceinated peptide (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2 and ATP) and test compounds in assay buffer (10 mM Tris-HCL pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 0.01% Tween-20 and 1.0 mM DTT). The reactions were initiated by the combination of bacterially expressed, GST-Xa-hAAK1 with substrates and test compounds. The reactions were incubated at room temperature for 3 hours and terminated by adding 60 μl of 35 mM EDTA buffer to each sample. The reactions were analyzed on the Caliper LabChip 3000 (Caliper, Hopkinton, Mass.) by electrophoretic separation of the fluorescent substrate and phosphorylated product. Inhibition data were calculated by comparison to EDTA quenched control reactions for 100% inhibition and vehicle-only reactions for 0% inhibition. The final concentration of reagents in the assays are ATP, 22 μM; (5-FAM)-Aha-KEEQSQITSQVTGQIGWR-NH2, 1.5 μM; GST-Xa-hAAK1, 3.5 nM; and DMSO, 1.6%. Dose response curves were generated to determine the concentration required inhibiting 50% of kinase activity (IC50). Compounds were dissolved at 10 mM in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and evaluated at eleven concentrations. IC50 values were derived by non-linear regression analysis.
HEK293F cells were cultured in media containing DMEM (Gibco, cat. #11965), 10% FBS (SAFC Biosciences, cat. #12103C), 1×GPS (glutamine, penicillin and streptomycin). On day one, cells were plated on a 10 cm dish so that they are ˜80% confluent at time oftransfection. Roughly 12 million cells were in a 10 cm dish at time of transfection. On day two, each dish was transfected with 48 ug DNA and 144 ul Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, cat. #11668-019). The DNA was comprised of a mixture (per 10 cm dish) containing 3 ug AAK1/HA/pIRES (full length human, NCBI accession no. NP_055726.2), 45 μg Flag/AP2MI/pcDNA (full length human), and 1.5 ml OPTI-MEM. The Lipofectamine 2000 is made up of a mixture (per 10 cm dish) containing 144 μl Lipofectamine 2000 and 1.5 ml OPTI-MEM. Each mixture was transferred to individual 15 ml tubes and incubated at RT for 5 minutes, and then the two mixes were combined and incubated at RT for 20 minutes. Growth media was then aspirated from each 10 cm plate and replaced with 10 ml of DMEM+10% FBS (no GPS). Finally, 3 ml DNA/Lipofectamine mix was added to each 10 cm dish and mix gently followed by incubate of plate overnight at 37° C. and 5% CO2.
On day three, compounds were diluted in 100% DMSO at 1000× final concentration, followed by 3-fold serial dilutions for a total of 5 concentrations tested. Four compounds were tested per 10 cm dish. One ul of each compound dilution was then pipetted into a deep-well, 96-well plate, followed by addition of 500 μl DMEM+0.5% FBS into each well for a 2× final concentration of each compound. Cells were resuspended in a 10 cm dish by simple pipetting (HEK293 cells come off the plate that easy at this point) and then transferred to a 50 ml conical tube and pelleted by centrifugation at 1000 rpm for 5 min. Cell pellets were then resuspended in 2.75 ml DMEM+0.5% FBS per 10 cm dish and 100 μl of cell suspension transferred into each well of 96-well TC plate. Finally, 100 μl of 2× compound diluted in DMEM+0.5% FBS was then added into wells containing cell suspension for a 1× final concentration. Plates were then incubated at 37° C. and 5% CO2 for 3 hours followed by transferring of cell suspensions from each well into 12-tube PCR strips. The PCR strips were spun in a tip rack at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes to pellet cells and media was then removed by pipetting without disturbing the cell pellet.
To prepare for Western Blot analysis, cell pellets were resuspend in 40 ul 1× LDS-PAGE sample buffer (Invitrogen, cat. # NP0008)+2× Halt phophatase and protease inhibitor cocktail (Thermo Scientific, cat. #1861284), followed by sonicating each with microtip sonicator set at 5 for 8-10 seconds. Five ul of 10× NuPage Sample Reducing Agent (with 50 mM DTT) was to each sample followed by heat denaturing at 70 C for 10 min on PCR machine. A total of 10 μl per sample was loaded into each lane of a 4-20% Tris-Glycine Criterion 26-well gel (Biorad, cat. #345-0034) for the phospho-mu2 blot and 10 μl per lane in a 4-12% Bis-Tris (+MES buffer) NuPAGE 26-well gel (Invitrogen, cat. # WG1403BX10) for the mu2 blot. For controls, 2 ng of phospho-mu2 or 20 ng mu2/Flag proteins were loaded in the last well of each gel. After SDS-PAGE, samples on each gel were transferred to PVDF membrane using an iBlot and membranes were blocked for one hour in TBST+5% milk, followed by wash 3× for 5-10 min with TBST. Criterion gels were probed with rabbit anti-phospho-mu2 (1:5000; a rabbit polyclonal antibody produced by New England Peptide and affinity purified at Lexicon) in TBST+5% BSA, whereas, NuPAGE gels were probed with mouse anti-Flag (1:500; Sigma, cat. # F1804) in TBST+5% milk, and these primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4° C. on a rocker.
On day four, Western blots were washed 3× for 5-10 minutes with TBST, probe with anti-rabbit-HRP (1:2000; BioRad, cat. #170-6515) or anti-mouse-HRP (1:2000; Biorad, cat. #170-6516) in TBST+5% milk for 1 hour at RT, washed 3× for 10 minutes with TBST, and developed with ECL reagent (GE Healthcare, cat. #RPN2132) on a Versadoc. Finally, the camera was set up to take a picture every 30 seconds for 10 minutes and the best image saved for each blot with no saturated signal (when the signal is saturated, the bands will be highlighted red). A volume analysis on each band was performed to obtain density values. Percent inhibition was calculated for each sample by first normalizing to total Mu2 expression levels and then comparing to 0% and 100% controls. IC50 values were then calculated using Excel fitting software.
Mice homozygous (−/−) for the disruption of the AAK1 gene were prepared by two methods; gene trapping and homologous recombination.
Gene trapping is a method of random insertional mutagenesis that uses a fragment of DNA coding for a reporter or selectable marker gene as a mutagen. Gene trap vectors have been designed to integrate into introns or genes in a manner that allows the cellular splicing machinery to splice vector encoded exons to cellular mRNAs. Commonly, gene trap vectors contain selectable marker sequences that are preceded by strong splice acceptor sequences and are not preceded by a promoter. Thus, when such vectors integrate into a gene, the cellular splicing machinery splices exons from the trapped gene onto the 5′ end of the selectable marker sequence. Typically, such selectable marker genes can only be expressed if the vector encoding the gene has integrated into an intron. The resulting gene trap events are subsequently identified by selecting for cells that can survive selective culture.
Embryonic stem cells (Lex-1 cells from derived murine strain A129), were mutated by a process involving the insertion of at least a portion of a genetically engineered vector sequence into the gene of interest, the mutated embryonic stem cells were microinjected into blastocysts which were subsequently introduced into pseudopregnant female hosts and carried to term using established methods. See, e.g., “Mouse Mutagenesis”, 1998, Zambrowicz et al., eds., Lexicon Press, The Woodlands, Tex. The resulting chimeric animals were subsequently bred to produce offspring capable of germline transmission of an allele containing the engineered mutation in the gene of interest.
AAK1-gene disrupted mice were also made by homologous recombination. In this case, the second coding exon of the murine AAK1 gene (see GenBank Accession Number NM_177762) was removed by methods known in the art. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,487,992, 5,627,059, and 5,789,215.
Mice homozygous (−/−) for the disruption of the AAK1 gene were studied in conjunction with mice heterozygous (+/−) for the disruption of the AAK1 gene, and 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. Homozygous (−/−) “knockout” mice were studied in conjunction with their heterozygous (+/−) and wild-type (+/+) litter mates. Disruption of the AAK1 gene was confirmed by Southern analysis. Expression of the murine homolog of AAK1 was detected by RT-PCR in murine brain; spinal cord; eye; thymus; spleen; lung; kidney; liver; skeletal muscle; bone; stomach, small intestine and colon; heart; adipose; asthmatic lung; LPS liver; blood; banded heart; aortic tree; prostate; and mammary gland (5 week virgin, mature virgin, 12 DPC, 3 day post-partum (lactating), 3 day post-weaning (early involution), and 7 day post-weaning (late involution)).
AAK1 homozygous (−/−) and their wild-type (+/+) littermates were tested using the formalin paw test in order to assess their acute and tonic nociceptive responses. For these tests, Automatic Nociception Analyzers (purchased from the Ozaki lab at University of California, San Diego) were used. A metal band was placed around the left hind paw of each mouse 30 minutes prior to testing. After the 30-minute acclimation period, 20 μl of 5% formalin is subcutaneously injected in the dorsal surface of the left hind paw. Mice were individually housed in cylindrical chambers for 45 minutes. Fresh 5% formalin solution was prepared by diluting formaldehyde (Formalde-fresh 20%, Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, N.J.) with distilled water. Investigatory compounds were administered 30 minutes prior to formalin injection.
A computer recorded flinches per minute, total flinches for phase I (acute phase=first 8 minutes), and total flinches for phase II (tonic phase=time between minutes 20-40) through an electromagnetic field. See Yaksh T L, Ozaki G, McCumber D, Rathbun M, Svensson C, Malkmus S, Yaksh M C. An automated flinch detecting system for use in the formalin nociceptive bioassay. J Appl Physiol., 2001; 90:2386-402. As shown in
Studies of AAK1 knockout mice showed that disruption of the AAK1 gene affects pain response as measured using the formalin paw test described above. The same test was used to confirm that the administration of an AAK1 inhibitor can also affect pain response.
A compound of the disclosure was tested in this assay at different doses. Gabapentin and pregabalin were used as positive controls. Results are shown below in Table 2, wherein the effect of gabapentin at 200 mg/kg is considered a 100% response, the % response for the other compounds is relative to the 200 mg/kg dose of gabapentin, “sc” means subcutaneous administration; “po” means oral administration.
