The invention has utility for treating and preventing neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment.
Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out normal daily activities. Among older people, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia and involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. Despite intensive research throughout the world, the causes of AD are still unknown and there is no cure. AD most commonly begins after the age of 60 with the risk increasing with age. Younger people can also get AD, but it is much less common. It is estimated that 3 percent of men and women ages 65 to 74 have AD. Almost half of those ages 85 and older may have the disease. AD is not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer's disease is a complex disease that can be caused by genetic and environmental factors. In the United States alone, four million adults suffer from Alzheimer's disease (AD). Not only does Alzheimer's disease significantly impact the lives of countless families today, it threatens to become even more of a problem as the baby boom generation matures. The economic burden of AD in the United States is estimated to cost over $100 billion a year and the average lifetime cost per patient is estimated to be $174,000. Unfortunately, there is no cure available for AD.
In 1906, Dr. Alois Alzheimer, noticed changes in the brain tissue of a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. In her brain tissue, he found abnormal clumps (now known as amyloid plaques) and tangled bundles of fibers (now known as neurofibrillary tangles) which, today, are considered the pathological hallmarks of AD. Other brain changes in people with AD have been discovered. For example, with AD, there is a loss of nerve cells in areas of the brain that are vital to memory and other mental abilities. Scientists have also found that there are lower levels of chemicals in the brain that carry complex messages back and forth between nerve cells. AD may disrupt normal thinking and memory by blocking these messages between nerve cells.
Plaques and tangles are found in the same brain regions that are affected by neuronal and synaptic loss. Neuronal and synaptic loss is universally recognized as the primary cause in decline of cognitive function. The number of tangles is more highly correlated with the cognitive decline than amyloid load in patients with AD (Albert Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 93:13547-13551 (1996)). The cellular, biochemical, and molecular events responsible for neuronal and synaptic loss in AD are not known. A number of studies have demonstrated that amyloid can be directly toxic to neurons (Iversen et al. Biochem. J. 311:1-16 (1995); Weiss et al. J. Neurochem. 62:372-375 (1994); Lorenzo et al. Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 777:89-95 (1996); Storey et al. Neuropathol. Appl. Neurobiol. 2:81-97 (1999), resulting in behavioral impairment. The toxicity of amyloid or tangles is potentially aggravated by activation of the complement cascade (Rogers et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 21:10016-10020 (1992); Rozemuller et al. Res. Immunol. 6:646-9 (1992); Rogers et al. Res. Immunol. 6:624-30 (1992); Webster et al. J. Neurochem. 69(1):388-98 (1997)). This suggests involvement of an inflammatory process in AD and neuronal death seen in AD (Fagarasan et al. Brain Res. 723(1-2):231-4. (1996); Kalaria et al. Neurodegeneration 5(4):497-503 (1996); Kalaria et al. Neurobiol Aging. 17(5):687 -93 (1996); Farlow Am. J. Health Syst. Pharm. 55 Suppl. 2:S5-10 (1998).
Evidence that amyloid β protein (Aβ) deposition causes some forms of AD was provided by genetic and molecular studies of some familial forms of AD (FAD). (See, e.g., Ii Drugs Aging 7(2):97-109 (1995); Hardy Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 94(6):2095-7 (1997); Selkoe J. Biol. Chem. 271(31):18295-8 (1996)). The amyloid plaque buildup in AD patients suggests that abnormal processing of Aβ may be a cause of AD. Aβ is a peptide of 39 to 42 amino acids and forms the core of senile plaques observed in all Alzheimer cases. If abnormal processing is the primary cause of AD, then familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) mutations that are linked (genetically) to FAD may induce changes that, in one way or another, foster Aβ deposition. There are 3 FAD genes known so far (Hardy et al. Science 282:1075-9 (1998); Ray et al. (1998)). Mutations in these FAD genes can result in increased Aβ deposition.
The first of the 3 FAD genes codes for the Aβ precursor, amyloid precursor protein (APP) (Selkoe J. Biol. Chem. 271(31):18295-8 (1996)). Mutations in the APP gene are very rare, but all of them cause AD with 100% penetrance and result in elevated production of either total Aβ or Aβ42, both in model transfected cells and transgenic animals. The other two FAD genes code for presenilin 1 and 2 (PS1, PS2) (Hardy Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 94(6):2095-7 (1997)). The presenilins contain 8 transmembrane domains and several lines of evidence suggest that they are involved in intracellular protein trafficking Other studies suggest that the presenilins function as proteases. Mutations in the presenilin genes are more common than in the APP gene, and all of them also cause FAD with 100% penetrance. Similar to APP mutants, studies have demonstrated that PS1 and PS2 mutations shift APP metabolism, resulting in elevated Aβ42 production (in vitro and in vivo).
Cyclooxygenases (COX) are major Alzheimer's disease drug targets due to the epidemiological association of NSAID use, whose primary target are cycloxygenases, with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (see, e.g., Hoozemans et al. Curr. Drug Targets 4(6):461-8 (2003) and Pasinetti et al. J. Neurosci. Res. 54(1):1-6 (1998)). The epidemiological studies have indicated that chronic NSAID use appears to reduce the risk of acquiring Alzheimer's disease and/or delay the onset of the disease (see e.g., McGeer et al. Neurology 47(2):425-432 (1996); and Etminan et al. BMJ. 327(7407):128 (2003)). COX-2 selective inhibitors are attractive candidates for long-term drug use since they do not inhibit COX-1 and appear to be less toxic. In support of COX-2 as a target for the treatment for AD, a recent study was published reporting that in mouse models of AD, COX-2 overexpression was related to the neuropathology of AD (Xiang et al. Neurobiol. Aging 23:327-34 (2002)). However, recent clinical trials of specific NSAIDs have called into question the hypothesis the hypothesis that anti-inflammatory drugs are useful for the treatment or prevention of Alzheimer's disease. It was reported that rofecoxib, a COX-2 selective NSAID, at 25 mg daily, failed to show efficacy for treating AD. Naproxen, another NSAID, in the same trial failed to show efficacy in Alzheimer's treatment. See Aisen et al. JAMA 289:2819-26 (2003) and Reines et al. Neurology 62(1):66-71 (2004). These authors concluded that the results with naproxen and rofecoxib do not support the use of NSAIDs for the treatment of AD. Celecoxib, a COX-2—selective NSAID, failed to show efficacy in several recent clinical trials for the treatment of AD. See Jhee et al., “A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Pharmacokinetic (PK), Pharmacodynamic (PD) and Safety Study of Celecoxib Treatment for Four Weeks in Patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD),” Abstract from 7th International Geneva/Springfield Symposium on Advances in Alzheimer's Therapy (2002); also published in Clinical Research and Regulatory Affairs 21(1): 49-66 (2004)) and Sainati et al. (Abstract from 6th International Stockholm/Springfield Symposium on Advances on Alzheimer's Therapy, Abstract Book 2000; 180). Conversely, it was reported recently that rofecoxib provides neuroprotection in an in vivo Alzheimer's disease excitotoxic model system (Scali et al. Neuroscience 117:909-919 (2003). However, rofecoxib, in a large prevention clinical trial, failed to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease in patients having mild cognitive impairment. In fact, the results of this trial showed that 6.4% of patients taking rofecoxib developed AD as compared to 4.5% for those taking placebo (see e.g., Visser et al., abstract from Annual meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology San Juan, Puerto Rico, 2003; and Landers, Wall Street Journal 10 Dec. 2003). Thus, clinical trials have indicated that NSAIDs, as a general class of drugs, are not likely to be useful for treating and/or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
Of the five drugs currently being used in the US for the treatment of AD, four of them—tacrine (Cognex ®), donepezil (Aricept®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), and galantamine (Reminyl®)—are inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase. Another drug, memantine, was recently approved for treating moderate-to-severe AD. More recently it was reported that memantine showed efficacy in treating mild-to-moderate AD. Memantine is a NMDA receptor antagonist.
The drugs currently used for treating AD, including memantine and the acetylcholine esterase inhibitors, are marginally efficacious and have undesirable side-effects. Thus, there is a large unmet need for better and safer drugs.

It is preferred that the lessening in decline in biochemical disease marker progression is at least 10% as compared to individuals treated with placebo, more preferably at least 20%, and more desirably at least 40%. It is preferred that the lessening in decline in cognitive function is at least 25% as compared to individuals treated with placebo, more preferably at least 40%, and even more desirably at least 60%. Desirably, the composition is provided as an oral dose, preferably in capsule or tablet form.
In a twenty-fifth aspect, the invention provides a method of prophylaxis or delaying the onset of a disease (or one or more symptoms thereof) characterized by abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing, by identifying a patient in need of such treatment and administering to the patient a prophylactically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Oral administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, prevents or delays the onset of the disease (or symptoms thereof) characterized by abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing.
In a twenty-sixth aspect, the invention provides a method of treating Alzheimer's disease comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment, a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Oral administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect of the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, provides an improvement or lessening in decline of cognitive function as characterized by cognition tests, biochemical disease marker progression, and/or plaque pathology. Desirably, the oral dose is provided in capsule or tablet form. According to this aspect of the invention, a patient in need of treatment is administered an Alzheimer's disease treating effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable salts, excipients and carriers. The method of this aspect of the invention involves identifying an individual likely to have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. An individual having probable mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed by any method available to the ordinary artisan skilled in such diagnoses. For example, diagnosis can be according to DSM IV (TR) and/or meets NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD. According to this aspect of the invention, individuals with probable mild-to-moderate AD take an oral dose of a pharmaceutical composition for a specified period of time. Individuals undergoing such treatment are likely to see an improvement or lessening in decline of cognitive function, an improvement or lessening in decline in biochemical disease marker progression, and/or an improvement or lessening decline in plaque pathology. A lessening in decline in cognitive function can be assessed using a test of cognitive function like the ADAS-cog. For example, an individual treated with placebo having probable mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease is expected to score approximately 5.5 points worse on the ADAS-cog test after a specified period of time of treatment (e.g., 1 year) whereas an individual treated with the composition of this aspect of the invention for the same period of time will score approximately 2.2 points worse on the ADAS-cog scale with a 60% decrease in decline or 3.3 points worse with a 40% decrease in decline in cognitive function when treated with the composition for the same specified period of time. In a related aspect, the method involves identifying a patient having moderate-to-severe AD and administering to the patient an Alzheimer's disease treating effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI.
In a twenty-seventh aspect, the invention provides a method of preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease comprising administering to a patient in need of or desiring such treatment, a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Oral administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect of the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, delays the onset of decline of cognitive function, biochemical disease marker progression, and/or plaque pathology. According to this embodiment, an individual desiring or needing preventative treatment against the onset of AD is administered a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Desirably, the oral dose is provided in capsule or tablet form. The preventive treatment is preferably maintained as long as the individual continues to desire or need the treatment. Individuals needing or desiring preventative treatment against AD can be those having risk factors for developing AD. For example, risk factors for developing AD can be genetic factors or environmental factors. In one embodiment, the risk factor is age. Genetic risk factors can be assessed in a variety of ways, such as ascertaining the family medical history of the individual, or performing a genetic test to identify genes that confer a predisposition for developing AD. Additionally, risk factors can be assessed by monitoring genetic and biochemical markers.
The foregoing and other advantages and features of the invention, and the manner in which the same are accomplished, will become more readily apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying examples, which illustrate preferred and exemplary embodiments.

Methods for generating an ester, an amide, a carbamate, a urea, an amadine, or a combination thereof, of the compounds of the first aspect through the twenty-first aspects are known to an ordinary artisan skilled in organic chemical synthesis.
As the skilled artisan readily recognizes, in some of the embodiments of the first twenty-one aspects of the invention, some of the compounds can have more than one -L- group, each of which is independent chosen.
In some aspects, the invention provides methods for treating and/or preventing neurodegenerative disorders like AD and MCI, and lowering Aβ42 in an individual in need of such treatment. It is believed that by lowering the amounts of Aβ42 in an individual by administering an Aβ42 lowering effective amount of a composition described herein, that Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment can be treated or prevented. Generally, the invention relates to the idea that compounds of Formulae I-XVI can be used to lower Aβ42 levels. Thus, diseases characterized by increased levels of Aβ42, can be treated or prevented with the methods of the invention which are designed to lower Aβ42, prevent an increase in Aβ42, and/or reduce the rate of increase of Aβ42 .
The invention is based on the fact that the inventors have discovered that compounds of Formulae I-XVI lower Aβ42 levels in in vitro APP processing assays. Furthermore, compounds of Formulae I-XVI, in general, have negligible levels of COX inhibition and therefore are thought to essentially be devoid of the deleterious side-effects associated with COX inhibition. Thus, a preferred embodiment of the invention is the use of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI, where the compound lowers Aβ42 levels and does not substantial inhibit the cyclooxygenases. Preferred compounds of Formulae I-XVI for use in the invention are those that have little or negligible COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibition at 1 μM, more preferred are those that little or negligible COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibition at 10 μM, and more preferred are those that little or negligible COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibition at 100 μM compound. COX-1 and COX-2 inhibition can be determined with a COX inhibitor screening kit from e.g., Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, Mich. (Cat. #560131).
In one embodiment of the invention, a method for lowering Aβ42 protein levels, in an individual in need of such treatment, is provided that includes the step of administering an effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI as described above.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the compound of Formulae I-XVI acts in vivo to treat and/or prevent Alzheimer's disease and MCI by lowering the amount of Aβ42 that is present or would be present in the absence of such treatment. Amyloid β polypeptides are derived from amyloid precursor proteins (APPs). A variety of amyloid β polypeptides are known including Aβ34, Aβ37, Aβ38, Aβ39, and Aβ40. Increased Aβ42 levels are associated with Alzheimer's disease and MCI. Thus, by lowering the amounts of Aβ42, a treatment is provided for combating Alzheimer's disease and/or MCI.
In another embodiment, the invention relates to a method of preventing Alzheimer's disease. According to this embodiment, a method for preventing Alzheimer's disease is provided which comprises administering, to an individual in need of such treatment, a composition comprising a compound having Formulae I-XVI. The method of this embodiment is useful for preventing the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, the onset of Alzheimer's disease, and/or the progression of the disease.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a neurodegenerative disorder, by identifying a patient in need of such treatment, and administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Administration of a compound of Formulae I-XVI for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, can provide an improvement or lessening in decline of cognitive function as characterized by cognition tests, biochemical disease marker progression, and/or plaque pathology. It is preferred that the lessening in decline in cognitive function is at least 25% as compared to individuals treated with placebo, more preferably at least 40%, and even more desirably at least 60%. For example, an individual treated with placebo having probable mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease is expected to score approximately 5.5 points worse on the ADAS-cog test after a specified period of time of treatment (e.g., 1 year) whereas an individual treated with the composition of this aspect of the invention for the same period of time will score approximately 2.2 points worse on the ADAS-cog scale with a 60% decrease in decline or 3.3 points worse with a 40% decrease in decline in cognitive function when treated with the composition for the same specified period of time. The pharmaceutical composition for use in the invention is formulated with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, salts, or carriers. The pharmaceutical composition for use in the invention is delivered orally, preferably in a tablet or capsule dosage form.
In yet another embodiment, the invention provides a method for prophylaxis against a neurodegenerative disorder, by identifying a patient in need of or desiring such treatment, and administering to the patient a prophylactically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Preferred compounds for use in this embodiment of the invention include those in Tables 1-6. Administration of a compound of Formulae I-XVI for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, can delay the onset of the neurodegenerative disorder or slow the rate of onset of symptoms of the disorder. Patients having a predisposition to a neurodegenerative disorder or suspected of needing prophylaxis can be identified by any method known to the skilled artisan for diagnosis of such neurodegenerative disorders.
In still another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating a disease characterized by abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing by (1) identifying a patient in need of such treatment, and (2) administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Examples of biochemical disease markers include, for example, amyloid beta peptide (Aβ), Aβ42, and tau.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of prophylaxis or delaying the onset of a disease (or one or more symptoms thereof) characterized by abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing, by identifying a patient in need of such treatment and administering to the patient a prophylactically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Oral administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, prevents or delays the onset of the disease (or symptoms thereof) characterized by abnormal amyloid precursor protein processing.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating Alzheimer's disease comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment, a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Oral administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect of the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, provides an improvement or lessening in decline of cognitive function as characterized by cognition tests, biochemical disease marker progression, and/or plaque pathology. Desirably, the oral dose is provided in capsule or tablet form. According to this aspect of the invention, a patient in need of treatment is administered an Alzheimer's disease treating effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable salts, excipients and carriers. The method of this aspect of the invention involves identifying an individual likely to have mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. An individual having probable mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed by any method available to the ordinary artisan skilled in such diagnoses. For example, diagnosis can be according to DSM IV (TR) and/or meets NINCDS-ADRDA criteria for probable AD. According to this aspect of the invention, individuals with probable mild-to-moderate AD take an oral dose of a pharmaceutical composition for a specified period of time. Individuals undergoing such treatment are likely to see an improvement or lessening in decline of cognitive function, an improvement or lessening in decline in biochemical disease marker progression, and/or an improvement or lessening of decline in plaque pathology. A lessening in decline in cognitive function can be assessed using tests of cognitive function like the ADAS-cog. For example, an individual treated with placebo having probable mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease is expected to score approximately 5.5 points worse on the ADAS-cog test after a specified period of time of treatment (e.g., 1 year) whereas an individual treated with the composition of this aspect of the invention for the same period of time will score approximately 2.2 points worse on the ADAS-cog scale with a 60% decrease in decline or 3.3 points worse with a 40% decrease in decline in cognitive function when treated with the composition for the same specified period of time. In a related aspect, the method involves identifying a patient having moderate-to-severe AD and administering to the patient an Alzheimer's disease treating effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of preventing the onset of Alzheimer's disease comprising administering to a patient in need of or desiring such treatment, a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. Administration of the pharmaceutical composition for use in the method of this aspect of the invention for at least 4 weeks, preferably at least 4 months, and more desirably at least 8 months, delays the onset of decline of cognitive function, biochemical disease marker progression, and/or plaque pathology. According to this embodiment, an individual desiring or needing preventative treatment against the onset of AD is administered a pharmaceutical composition having one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. The preventative treatment is preferably maintained as long as the individual continues to desire or need the treatment. Individuals needing or desiring preventative treatment against AD can be those having risk factors for developing AD. For example, risk factors for developing AD can be genetic factors or environmental factors. In one embodiment, the risk factor is age. Genetic risk factors can be assessed in a variety of ways, such as ascertaining the family medical history of the individual, or performing a genetic test to identify genes that confer a predisposition for developing AD. Additionally, risk factors can be assessed by monitoring genetic and biochemical markers. The method of this embodiment involves evaluating risk factors for cognitive decline. Evaluation of risk factors can include genetic testing for predisposing genes, alleles, and polymorphisms. Risk factors also refer to environmental factors like stroke, brain injury, age, and diet. Depending on the risk factor or factors associated with a particular patient a particular treatment regimen is selected for treating cognitive decline. For example, mutations in a Familial Alzheimer's disease gene are a risk factor. Another risk factor for cognitive decline is age. Head trauma is another risk factor for cognitive decline. Based on the patient's risk factors, a physician will prescribe a particular therapeutic treatment or prophylactic treatment suitable for the patient.
In still another embodiment, the invention provides a method of lowering Aβ42 levels to a greater extent than inhibiting COX-1, COX-2, or a combination thereof. In particular, the method of this embodiment comprises administering to a patient in need of treatment an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI. The method of this embodiment involves the lowering of Aβ42 levels while not substantial affecting the activity of COX-1, COX-2, or both COX-1, and COX-2. Thus, the amount of the composition administered is effective for lowering Aβ42 levels and does not substantially inhibit COX-1, COX-2, or both COX-1 and COX-2. For example, the effective amount can be above the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) for Aβ42 lowering, and below the ED50 for COX inhibition. Another example is a sufficiently small amount of compound so that inhibition of at least one COX activity is negligible and Aβ42 levels are reduced. The method of this embodiment can be used to treat and/or prevent Alzheimer's disease. The method of this embodiment can also be used to treat and/or prevent MCI and other neurodegenerative disorders.
According to a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method of lowering Aβ42 levels to a greater extent than inhibiting COX-1, COX-2, or a combination thereof. In particular, the method of this embodiment comprises administering, to a patient in need of treatment, an effective amount of one or more compounds of Formulae I-XVI, wherein the effective amount of compound is capable of lowering Aβ42, while not substantially affecting or inhibiting the activity of at least one isoform of COX. Thus, the method of this embodiment involves the lowering of Aβ42 levels while not substantially inhibiting the activity of COX-1, COX-2, or both COX-1 and COX-2. The method of this embodiment can be used to treat and/or prevent Alzheimer's disease, MCI, and/or other neurodegenerative disorders. In one aspect of this embodiment, the effective amount of compound having Formulae I-XVI reduce Aβ42 levels or production of Aβ42 by at least 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, or 50 or more percent while inhibiting COX-1, COX-2, or both COX-1 and COX-2 by less than 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or 90 percent. In a preferred aspect of this embodiment, the effective amount of compound according to Formulae I-XVI lower Aβ42 by at least 5 percent while not substantially inhibiting COX-1 , COX-2, or both COX-1 and COX-2 activity or levels. In another preferred aspect of this embodiment, the effective amount of the compound having Formulae I-XVI that is administered to an individual is such that it lowers Aβ42 levels, and does not inhibit COX activity to a significant extent, e.g., the amount administered is below the in vivo IC50 value for COX-1, COX-2 or both COX-1 and COX-2 and above the in vivo IC50 value for Aβ42 lowering activity. As used in this context, IC50 refers to the amount of compound sufficient to inhibit COX activity by 50% (COX-1, COX-2, or both COX-1 and COX-2) or reduce Aβ42 levels by 50%. An “effective amount” according to this preferred aspect of this embodiment, can also be viewed in terms of ED50 parameters, binding constants, dissociation constants, and other pharmacological parameters, e.g., the amount administered is below the ED50 value for COX-1, COX-2 or both COX-1 and COX-2 and above the ED50 value for Aβ42. It is noted that the effective amount of the compound does not necessarily have to be above an IC50 or ED50 for Aβ42 lowering and below the IC50 or ED50 for COX inhibition. That is, the “effective amount” can be at some intermediate value such that Aβ42 levels are lowered to a greater extent than inhibition of COX-1, COX-2 or both COX-1 and COX-2.
The skilled artisan readily recognizes that the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions can be used to treat other disease besides those listed herein.
In one aspect of the invention, any individual having, or suspected of having, a neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer's disease, may be treated using the compositions and methods of the present invention. Individuals who would particularly benefit from the compositions and methods of the invention include those individuals diagnosed as having mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease according to a medically-accepted diagnosis, such as, for example the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria. Progression of the disease may be followed by medically accepted measure of cognitive function, such as, for example, the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE; see Mohs et al. Int. Psychogeriatr. 8:195-203 (1996)); ADAS-Cog (Alzheimer Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive; see Galasko et al. Alzheimer Dis Assoc Disord, 11 suppl 2:S33-9 (1997)); Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (BEHAVE-AD); Blessed Test; CANTAB—Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery; CERAD (The Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease) Clinical and Neuropsychological Tests (includes MMSE); Clock Draw Test; Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD); Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS); Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI); the 7 Minute Screen; the Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study Activities of Daily Living scale (ADCS-ADL; see McKhann et al. Neurology 34:939-944 (1984)); the DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders—Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), published by the American Psychiatric Association, Washington D.C., 1994); or the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria (see Folstein et al. J. Psychiatr. Res. 12:189-198 (1975)). Individuals diagnosed as having probable AD can be identified as having a mild-to-moderate form of the disease by an accepted measure of cognitive function such as the MMSE. In addition, methods that allow for evaluating different regions of the brain and estimating plaque and tangle frequencies can be used. These methods are described by Braak et al. Acta Neuropathol 82:239-259 (1991); Khachaturian Arch. Neuro. 42:1097-1105 (1985); Mirra et al. (1991) Neurology 41:479-486; and Mirra et al. Arch Pathol Lab Med 117:132-144 (1993). The severity of AD is generally determined by one of the initial tests provided above. For example, MMSE scores of 26-19 indicate mild AD, while scores from 18-10 indicate moderate AD.
Diagnoses of Alzheimer's disease based on these tests are recorded as presumptive or probable, and may optionally be supported by one or more additional criteria. For example, a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease may be supported by evidence of a family history of AD; non-specific changes in EEG, such as increased slow-wave activity; evidence of cerebral atrophy on CT with progression documented by serial observation; associated symptoms such as depression, insomnia, incontinence, delusions, illusions, hallucinations, catastrophic verbal, emotional or physical outbursts, sexual disorders, weight loss, and/or attendant neurologic abnormalities, such as increased muscle tone, myoclonus or gait disorder, etc.
Additionally, amyloid deposits, generally associated with AD, may be detected through the use of positron emission tomography (PET) using an amyloid-specific tracer such as Pittsburgh Compound-B (PIB). See Klunk et al., Ann. Neurol. 55(3):306-309 (2004). Increased amyloid deposits in the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital cortices, and in the striatum, relative to normal brain tissue, as visualized, for example by PIB, support a diagnosis of AD. Generally, a greater number and density of amyloid deposits indicates more advanced AD.
The invention encompasses the treatment of an individual preferably having mild to moderate AD, to the extent that individual has AD, whether or not one or more non-AD neurodegenerative diseases or conditions are previously, concurrently or subsequently diagnosed.
The compounds and methods of the present invention are useful for individuals who have received prior medication for AD, as well as individuals who have received no prior medication for AD, and is useful for individuals currently receiving medication for AD other than a compound of Formulae I-XVI, and for individuals not receiving medication for AD other than a compound of Formulae I-XVI.
Individuals of any age may be treated by the methods of the invention, with the pharmaceutical compositions of the invention; however, the invention encompasses a preferred embodiment for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease in individuals between the ages of 45 and 105. In various embodiments, individuals treated by the therapeutic or prophylactic methods of the invention may be from 55 to 70 years of age, 60 to 80 years of age, 55 to 65 years of age, 60 to 75 years of age, 65 to 80 years of age, 55 to 60 years of age, 60 to 65 years of age, 65 to 70 years of age, 70 to 75 years of age, 75 to 80 years of age, or 80 years old and older.
In yet another embodiment, the invention provides a method of slowing cognitive decline in an individual suspected of having mild cognitive impairment (MCI) comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI. Mild cognitive impairment is a clinical condition between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease characterized by memory loss greater than expected for the particular age of the individual yet the individual does not meet the currently accepted definition for probable Alzheimer's disease. See, e.g., Petersen et al. Arch. Neurol. 58:1985-1992 (2001); Petersen Nature Rev. 2:646-653 (2003); and Morris et al. J Mol. Neuro. 17:101-118 (2001). Thus, according to this embodiment an individual suspected of having or diagnosed with MCI is treated twice daily with a composition having a compound of Formulae I-XVI per dose for at least 4 weeks, at least 4 months, preferably at least 8 months, and more desirably at least 1 year. Typically, patients having MCI first complain of or have a loss of memory. Preferably an individual associated with the patient can corroborate the memory deficit. Furthermore, general cognition is not sufficiently impaired to cause concern about more widespread cognitive disorder and although daily living activities may be affected that are not significantly impaired and the patients are not demented. Individuals having or suspected of having MCI that are treated according to this embodiment can expect to slow cognitive decline and/or progression to probable AD.
Thus, in one embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating an individual known or suspected of having Alzheimer's disease comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI.

In other embodiments, the invention provides a method of treating an individual known or suspected of having Alzheimer's disease comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI, wherein the individual is concurrently taking a second drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In a further embodiment, the individual has been diagnosed as having mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. In a specific embodiment, said second drug is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. In a more specific embodiment, said AChE inhibitor is Galanthamine (galantamine, Reminyl); E2020 (Donepezil, Aricept); Physostigmine; Tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine, THA); Rivastigmine; Phenserine; Metrifonate (Promem); or Huperazine, or a combination of any of the foregoing. In another embodiment, the second drug is a drug other than an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. In a preferred embodiment, the method or compositions of the invention are used in patients or individuals undergoing therapy with Aricept. The invention also encompasses methods of treating patients refractory to, or who no longer show improvement with, conventional AD therapy.
In another embodiment, the individual is concurrently taking a non-drug substance for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In a specific embodiment, said non-drug substance is an anti-oxidant. In another specific example, said anti-oxidant is vitamin C or vitamin E. In another specific embodiment, vitamin C is taken in a dose of 500-1000 mg per dose of a compound of Formulae I-XVI. In another specific embodiment, vitamin E is taken in a dose of 400-800 IU per dose of a compound of Formulae I-XVI. In this regard, the invention encompasses the use of one or more such anti-oxidants as an adjunct to therapy for Alzheimer's disease, and not primarily as a nutritional supplement.
In another embodiment, the invention provides a method of treating an individual diagnosed as having mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease comprising administering an effective amount of a compound of Formulae I-XVI, wherein the individual has, prior to taking a compound of Formulae I-XVI, taken a second drug for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In a specific embodiment, the second drug is an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor. In a more specific embodiment, the ACE inhibitor is Galanthamine (galantamine, Reminyl); E2020 (Donepezil, Aricept); Physostigmine; Tacrine (tetrahydroaminoacridine, THA); Rivastigmine; Phenserine; Metrifonate (Promem); or Huperazine, or a combination of any of the foregoing. In another embodiment, the second drug is a drug other than an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.
In another embodiment, the individual has, prior to taking a compound of Formulae I-XVI, taken a non-drug substance for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In a specific embodiment, said non-drug substance is an anti-oxidant. In a specific example, the anti-oxidant is vitamin C or vitamin E. In another specific embodiment, the vitamin C is taken in a dose of 500-1000 mg per dose. In another specific embodiment, the vitamin E is taken in a dose of 400-800 IU per dose. In this regard, the invention encompasses the use of one or more such anti-oxidants as an adjunct to therapy for Alzheimer's disease, and not primarily as a nutritional supplement.

Preferably the combination therapy involves treating the individual in need of treatment with a compound of Formulae I-XVI in combination with an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor or an NMDA receptor antagonist. Preferred acetylcholine esterase inhibitors for combination therapy are tacrine, donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine. Preferred NMDA receptor antagonists for combination therapy are memantine, adamantane, amantadine, an adamantane derivative, dextromethorphan, dextrorphan, dizocilpine, ibogaine, ketamine, and remacemide. The acetylcholine esterase inhibitor or NMDA receptor antagonists is preferably formulated in a combination dosage form with a compound of Formulae I-XVI.
The treatment regime used in the combination therapy can involve administration of a composition comprising the combination of active ingredients, the concomitant administration of separate compositions, each comprising at least one active ingredient. Furthermore, the administration of the active ingredients can be performed at different times and/or different routes. For example, a composition comprising at least one active ingredient can be administered in the morning, and a composition comprising at least one different active ingredient can be administered in the evening. Another example would involve the administration of a composition having at least one active ingredient orally while the second composition is administered intravenously.
While not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the compounds of Formulae I-XVI are capable of slowing the rate of death of neurons. Accordingly, it is also believed that the compounds of Formulae I-XVI acts in vivo to treat and/or prevent Alzheimer's disease and MCI by slowing the rate of death of neurons that is present or would be present in the absence of such treatment.

Exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those salts prepared by reaction of the compounds of the present invention with a mineral or organic acid or an inorganic base, such as salts including sulfates, pyrosulfates, bisulfates, sulfites, bisulfites, phosphates, monohydrophosphates, dihydrophosphates, metaphosphates, pyrophosphates, chlorides, bromides, iodides, acetates, propionates, decanoates, caprylates, acrylates, formates, isobutyrates, caproates, heptanoates, propiolates, oxalates, malonates, succinates, suberates, sebacates, fumarates, maleates, butyne-1,4 dioates, hexyne-1,6-dioates, benzoates, chlorobenzoates, methylbenzoates, dinitrobenzoates, hydroxybenzoates, methoxybenzoates, phthalates, sulfonates, xylenesulfonates, phenylacetates, phenylpropionates, phenylbutyrates, citrates, lactates, gamma-hydroxybutyrates, glycollates, tartrates, methane-sulfonates, propanesulfonates, naphthalene-l-sulfonates, naphthalene-2-sulfonates, and mandelates.
Representative synthetic schemes and experimental descriptions for the compounds of Formulae I-XVI for use in the methods of the invention are given in the Examples below.
The active compounds of this invention are typically administered in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier through any appropriate routes such as parenteral, oral, or topical administration, in a therapeutically (or prophylactically) effective amount according to the methods set forth above. A preferred route of administration for use in the invention is oral administration.
Generally, the toxicity profile and therapeutic efficacy of the therapeutic agents can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in suitable cell models or animal models. As is known in the art, the LD50 represents the dose lethal to about 50% of a tested population. The ED50 is a parameter indicating the dose therapeutically effective in about 50% of a tested population. Both LD50 and ED50 can be determined in cell models and animal models. In addition, the IC50 may also be obtained in cell models and animal models, which stands for the circulating plasma concentration that is effective in achieving about 50% of the maximal inhibition of the symptoms of a disease or disorder. Such data may be used in designing a dosage range for clinical trials in humans. Typically, as will be apparent to skilled artisans, the dosage range for human use should be designed such that the range centers around the ED50 and/or IC50, but remains significantly below the LD50 dosage level, as determined from cell or animal models.
Typically, the compounds and compositions for use in the invention can be effective at an amount of from about 0.05 mg to about 4000 mg per day, preferably from about 0.1 mg to about 2000 mg per day. However, the amount can vary with the body weight of the patient treated and the state of disease conditions. The active ingredient may be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to be administered at predetermined intervals of time.
In the case of combination therapy, a therapeutically effective amount of another therapeutic compound can be administered in a separate pharmaceutical composition, or alternatively included in the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention. The pharmacology and toxicology of other therapeutic compositions are known in the art. See e.g., Physicians Desk Reference, Medical Economics, Montvale, N.J.; and The Merck Index, Merck & Co., Rahway, N.J. The therapeutically effective amounts and suitable unit dosage ranges of such compounds used in the art can be equally applicable in the present invention.
It should be understood that the dosage ranges set forth above are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. The therapeutically effective amount for each active compound can vary with factors including but not limited to the activity of the compound used, stability of the active compound in the patient's body, the severity of the conditions to be alleviated, the total weight of the patient treated, the route of administration, the ease of absorption, distribution, and excretion of the active compound by the body, the age and sensitivity of the patient to be treated, and the like, as will be apparent to a skilled artisan. The amount of administration can also be adjusted as the various factors change over time.
The active compounds can also be administered parenterally in the form of solution or suspension, or in lyophilized form capable of conversion into a solution or suspension form before use. In such formulations, diluents or pharmaceutically acceptable carriers such as sterile water and physiological saline buffer can be used. Other conventional solvents, pH buffers, stabilizers, anti-bacterial agents, surfactants, and antioxidants can all be included. For example, useful components include sodium chloride, acetate, citrate or phosphate buffers, glycerin, dextrose, fixed oils, methyl parabens, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, sodium bisulfate, benzyl alcohol, ascorbic acid, and the like. The parenteral formulations can be stored in any conventional containers such as vials and ampules.
Routes of topical administration include nasal, bucal, mucosal, rectal, or vaginal applications. For topical administration, the active compounds can be formulated into lotions, creams, ointments, gels, powders, pastes, sprays, suspensions, drops and aerosols. Thus, one or more thickening agents, humectants, and stabilizing agents can be included in the formulations. Examples of such agents include, but are not limited to, polyethylene glycol, sorbitol, xanthan gum, petrolatum, beeswax, or mineral oil, lanolin, squalene, and the like. A special form of topical administration is delivery by a transdermal patch. Methods for preparing transdermal patches are disclosed, e.g., in Brown, et al., Annual Review of Medicine, 39:221-229 (1988), which is incorporated herein by reference.
Subcutaneous implantation for sustained release of the active compounds may also be a suitable route of administration. This entails surgical procedures for implanting an active compound in any suitable formulation into a subcutaneous space, e.g., beneath the anterior abdominal wall. See, e.g., Wilson et al., J. Clin. Psych. 45:242-247 (1984). Hydrogels can be used as a carrier for the sustained release of the active compounds. Hydrogels are generally known in the art. They are typically made by crosslinking high molecular weight biocompatible polymers into a network that swells in water to form a gel like material. Preferably, hydrogels are biodegradable or biosorbable. For purposes of this invention, hydrogels made of polyethylene glycols, collagen, or poly(glycolic-co-L-lactic acid) may be useful. See, e.g., Phillips et al., J. Pharmaceut. Sci. 73:1718-1720 (1984).
The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it can contain, in addition to material of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. In addition, dosage unit forms can contain various other materials which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar, shellac, or other enteric agents.
Soft gelatin capsules can be prepared in which capsules contain a mixture of the active ingredient and vegetable oil or non-aqueous, water miscible materials such as, for example, polyethylene glycol and the like. Hard gelatin capsules may contain granules of the active ingredient in combination with a solid, pulverulent carrier, such as, for example, lactose, saccharose, sorbitol, mannitol, potato starch, corn starch, amylopectin, cellulose derivatives, or gelatin.
Tablets for oral use are typically prepared in the following manner, although other techniques may be employed. The solid substances are ground or sieved to a desired particle size, and the binding agent is homogenized and suspended in a suitable solvent. The active ingredient and auxiliary agents are mixed with the binding agent solution. The resulting mixture is moistened to form a uniform suspension. The moistening typically causes the particles to aggregate slightly, and the resulting mass is gently pressed through a stainless steel sieve having a desired size. The layers of the mixture are then dried in controlled drying units for determined length of time to achieve a desired particle size and consistency. The granules of the dried mixture are gently sieved to remove any powder. To this mixture, disintegrating, anti-friction, and anti-adhesive agents are added. Finally, the mixture is pressed into tablets using a machine with the appropriate punches and dies to obtain the desired tablet size. The operating parameters of the machine may be selected by the skilled artisan.
If the compound for use in the invention is a base, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method available in the art, for example, treatment of the free base with an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid and the like, or with an organic acid, such as acetic acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, mandelic acid, fumaric acid, malonic acid, pyruvic acid, oxalic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a pyranosidyl acid, such as glucuronic acid or galacturonic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid, such as citric acid or tartaric acid, an amino acid, such as aspartic acid or glutamic acid, an aromatic acid, such as benzoic acid or cinnamic acid, a sulfonic acid, such as p-toluenesulfonic acid or ethanesulfonic acid, or the like.
If the compound for use in the invention is an acid, the desired pharmaceutically acceptable salt may be prepared by any suitable method, for example, treatment of the free acid with an inorganic or organic base, such as an amine (primary, secondary or tertiary), an alkali metal hydroxide or alkaline earth metal hydroxide, or the like. Illustrative examples of suitable salts include organic salts derived from amino acids, such as glycine and arginine, ammonia, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, and cyclic amines, such as piperidine, morpholine and piperazine, and inorganic salts derived from sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, zinc, aluminum and lithium. These substituents may optionally be further substituted with a substituent selected from such groups.
The tablets are prepared using art known procedures.
The coated tablets are produced using art known procedures.
The capsules are produced using art known procedures.
The compounds of Formulae I-XVI can be administered twice daily as tablets containing 400 mg of active ingredient or as a capsule containing 400 mg of the active ingredient. A higher dose can be administered to the patient in need of such treatment which can involve the patient taking e.g., a 800 mg dose of a compound of Formulae I-XVI in the morning and a 800 mg dose of a compound of Formulae I-XVI in the evening. Typically, for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease, an individual is diagnosed by a doctor as having the disease using a suitable combination of observations. One criterion indicating a likelihood of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease is a score of about 15 to about 26 on the MMSE test. Another criteria indicating mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease is a decline in cognitive function. Compounds of Formulae I-XVI can also be administered in liquid dosage forms (or any other appropriate route of administration). The dosages can also be divided or modified, and taken with or without food. For example, the 400 mg dose can be divided into two 200 mg tablets or capsules.
Depending on the stage of the disease, the compound (i.e., Formulae I-XVI) can also be administered twice daily in liquid, capsule, or tablet dosage forms where the dose has various amounts (i.e., 850 mg, 750 mg, 700 mg, 650 mg, 600 mg, 550 mg, 500 mg, 450 mg, 350 mg, 300 mg, 250 mg, 200 mg, 150 mg, and 100 mg). Again, the dosages can also be divided or modified, and taken with or without food. The doses can be taken during treatment with other medications for treating Alzheimer's disease or symptoms thereof. For example, the compound can be administered in the morning as a tablet containing 400 mg of active ingredient (i.e., a compound of Formulae I-XVI) and an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (i.e., tacrine (Cognex®), donepezil (Aricept®), rivastigmine (Exelon®), and galantamine (Reminyl®)), and/or an NMDA antagonist (i.e., memantine). It may be desirable to lower the amount of acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (and/or NMDA antagonist) and/or the compound of Formulae I-XVI to avoid adverse side effects associated with higher doses of these compounds. Alternatively, the acetylcholine esterase inhibitor (and/or NMDA antagonist) and compound of Formulae I-XVI can be co-formulated into a single dosage form, i.e., liquid, tablet, capsule, etc.
Patients having mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease undergoing the treatment regimen of this example with a compound of Formulae I-XVI in doses of about 20 mg to 1600 mg per day can experience a lessening in decline of cognitive function (as measured by the ADAS-cog or CDR sum of boxes), plaque pathology, and/or biochemical disease marker progression.
The present invention provides compositions and methods for lowering Aβ42 levels. To test whether compounds and compositions are capable of modulating Aβ levels, a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is employed to measure secreted Aβ (Aβ42 and/or Aβ40) levels. In this example, H4 cells expressing wide type APP695 are seeded at 200,000 cells/per well in 6 well plates, and incubated at 37 degree C. with 5% CO2 overnight. Cells are treated with 1.5 ml medium containing vehicle (DMSO) or a test compound at 1.25 μM, 2.5 μM, 5.0 μM and 10.0 μM (as well as other concentration if desirable) concentration for 24 hours or 48 hours. The supernatant from treated cells is collected into eppendorf tubes and frozen at −80 degree C. for future analysis.
The amyloid peptide standard is reconstituted and frozen samples are thawed. The samples and standards are diluted with appropriate diluents and the plate is washed 4 times with Working Wash Buffer and patted dry on a paper towel. 100 μL per well of peptide standards, controls, and dilutions of samples to be analyzed is added. The plate is incubated for 2 hours while shaking on an orbital plate shaker at RT. The plate is then washed 4 times with Working Wash Buffer and patted dry on a paper towel. Detection Antibody Solution is poured into a reservoir and 100 μL/well of Detection Antibody Solution is immediately added to the plate. The plate is incubated at RT for 2 hours while shaking and then washed four times with Working Wash Buffer and patted dry on a paper towel. Secondary Antibody Solution is then poured into a reservoir and 100 μL/well of Secondary Antibody Solution is immediately added to the plate. The plate is incubated at RT for 2 hours with shaking, washed 5 times with Working Wash Buffer, and patted dry on a paper towel.
100 μL of stabilized chromogen is added to each well and the liquid in the wells begins to turn blue. The plate is incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature and in the dark. 100 μL of stop solution is added to each well and the plate is tapped gently to mix resulting in a change of solution color from blue to yellow. The absorbance of each well is read at 450 nm having blanked the plate reader against a chromogen blank composed of 100 μL each of stabilized chromogen and stop solution. The plate is read within 2 hours of adding the stop solution. The absorbance of the standards is plotted against the standard concentration and the concentrations of unknown samples and controls are calculated.

1-(4-tert-butylcyclohex-1-enyl) pyrrolidine: A 50 mL round-bottomed flask containing 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone (6.01 gm) in anhydrous toluene (20 mL) was fitted with a Dean-Stark trap containing 3A molecular sieves, reflux condenser and a heating mantle. Pyrrolidine (6.00 mL) was added, and the solution heated to reflux for 18 hr. The solvent was evaporated and the crude product was used directly for the next reaction.
4-tert-butyl-2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-cyclohexanone: To a 250-mL round-bottomed flask containing 3.3 mL of 1-(4-tert-butylcyclohex-1-enyl)pyrrolidine was added 100 mL anhydrous DMF, under nitrogen. The flask was fitted with an addition funnel containing 2-bromoacetophenone (4.12 gm) in 35 mL anhydrous DMF, which was dripped into the enamine solution over 60 min. This solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 10 hr, then 90 mL water was added to the solution and it was stirred for another 11 hr, under nitrogen. The solution was then extracted twice with ethyl acetate and water, the organic layers combined and further washed with water (3×), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and rotovapped down to give a yellow oil. The oil was purified by MPLC using 10% ethyl acetate/hexanes.
3-(5-tert-butyl-2-phenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-1-yl)benzoic acid (Compound 34): A solution of 4-tert-butyl-2-(2-oxo-2-phenylethyl)-cyclohexanone (0.219 gm) in glacial acetic acid (3.0 mL) in a 25-mL round-bottomed flask, under nitrogen, was fitted with a heating mantle and reflux condenser. To this solution was added 3-aminobenzoic acid (0.138 gm), which was then heated at 110 C for 3 hr. The solution was cooled to ambient temperature, 8 mL water was added, and the suspension was stirred 18 hr under nitrogen. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized in acetonitrile to provide 0.123 gm of the pure product.
