Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to dioxazines, their synthesis, and their use for increasing GBA activity and/or levels as well as treatment of GBA-related diseases, such as Parkinson's disease.


BACKGROUND

The lysosome functions as a crucial re-processing center in human cells, breaking down proteins and fatty substances, such as glycosphingolipids, into their basic building blocks that are then recycled. A set of rare genetic diseases, called lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), are the result of carrying a distinct mutation in both copies of certain genes which encode various lysosomal enzymes. Gaucher disease, the most common lysosomal storage disease, is the result of a mutation in both copies of the GBA1 gene that codes for the Glucocerebrosidase (GCase) enzyme. Such homozygous mutations in both copies of the GBA1 gene cause a severe loss of up to 95% of GCase activity. As a result of this critical loss of enzyme activity, the metabolism of certain glycosphingolipids is significantly impaired in Gaucher disease patients, leading to accumulation of Glucosylceramide (GluCer), the GCase enzyme's substrate. This accumulation leads to serious health issues and organ pathology.


Many of these GBA mutations are also found in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Heterozygous mutations as found in GBA mutation carriers (having one mutated GBA gene) are found to predispose for development of Parkinson's disease (Gan-Or et al., Neurology, 2015). Mutations in GBA are now considered one of the main genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease. It has been estimated that at least 8% of patients with Parkinson's disease have mutations in the GBA gene, both mild and severe GBA mutations, including L444P heterozygotes. Also secondary deficiencies of GBA activity may be linked to Parkinson's disease.


State of the art compounds, Ambroxol and LTI-291 have been shown to increase GBA activity, an important effect in treatment of GBA-mediated disorders. In order to meet the medical need of treating GBA-mediated disorders, more and better compounds are needed.


SUMMARY

The present inventors have developed a series of compounds that effectively act as GBA inducers with completely different structural chemotype compared to state of the art compounds Ambroxol and LTI-291. This renders the compounds of the present disclosure promising candidates for treatment of GBA-mediated disorders

The symbol “custom-character”, displayed perpendicular to a bond, indicates the point at which the displayed moiety is attached to the remainder of the molecule.


The term “organic basic moiety” refers to the combination of terms “organic base” and “moiety”. The term “moiety” refers to a part of a molecule, which is covalently connected to the rest of the molecule. An “organic base” is an organic compound which can act as a base. Organic bases usually contain nitrogen atoms, which can be protonated, for example amines have a lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom and can thus act as proton acceptors (bases). Amines and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds are organic bases. An example of an organic base is piperidine. An “organic basic moiety” is thus an organic base, which is part of a molecule, wherein the basic function resides with the moiety. The organic basic moiety is referred to as “OrgB” herein.

Example 2: Determination of Potencies and Efficacies of Dioxazines Using GCase Assay
Materials

Human fibroblast cell line GM10915 harboring the L444P GBA mutation was obtained from Coriell Biorepositories.


All chemicals (Glacial acetic acid, Glycine, 4-Methylumbelliferyl b-D-glucopyranoside (4-MUG), Sodium acetate trihydrate, Sodium hydroxide, Crystal violet, SDS, Ammonium hydroxide) were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (Denmark) Compounds tested for GCase activity were dissolved in H2O or DMSO.


Methods

The GM10915 cell line was cultured under standard cell culture conditions (37° C. and 5% CO2) in complete DMEM medium supplemented with nonessential amino acids (NEAA), 1% Pen-Strep and 12% FCS. Cells were seeded at a density of 104 cells/well in 100 μL complete medium in one black 96-well plate for glucosylceramidase (GCase) activity measurement and in one clear 96-well plate for crystal violet staining to correct for cell density. Crystal violet staining is performed to obtain quantitative information about the relative density of cells adhering to multi-wells plates.


Assay of GCase Activity

The assay was adapted from Sawkar et al (2002) and briefly described in the following. The day after seeding of cells, the medium was replaced with fresh medium containing the compounds to be tested. Compounds were tested in duplicate and in an 8-point diluted dose range to obtain a dose response. Cells were exposed with compounds for five days. Fresh compound was added every 2-3 days. PBS was included to define the basal level of GCase activity.


Cells were washed three times with 200 μL PBS per well and 50 μL of 2.5 mM 4-MUG buffer (4-MUG dissolved in 0.2 M acetate buffer pH 4.0) was added and the cells were incubated at 37° C., 5% CO2 for 23 hours. The reaction was stopped by adding 150 μL 0.2 M glycine buffer (pH 10.8). Fluorescence was measured with a Varioskan® Flash reader (Thermo Scientific) at an excitation/emission setting of 365/445 nm.


Crystal Violet Staining

Cells were treated with compounds in a parallel setup identical to the setup to test for GCase activity. At the end of compound treatment, cells were washed once with 200 μL PBS per well and 50 μL 0.1% w/v crystal violet (in H2O) was added. Following 10 min. of incubation, the crystal violet solution was removed, and the cells were washed three times with 200 μL PBS and 100 μL 1% SDS was added to solubilize the stain. The plate was agitated on an orbital shaker for 10-30 min. Absorbance (A) is measured at 570 nM using a Varioskan® Flash reader (Thermo Scientific).


Calculations

The fluorescence signal (F) derived from the GCase measurement is normalized to the absorbance signal (A) derived from the crystal violet staining. The percent GCase activity resulting from compound treatment is calculated relative to the basal activity obtained from untreated cells.

The potency, EC1.5, is determined based on the dose response effects of the compounds as the concentration where “Percent GCase activity”=150% corresponding to at 1.5-fold induction of GCase activity. Maximal effect of compounds (Emax) is determined from the dose response effects as the maximum “Percent GCase activity” achieved in the dose range tested.


Results

The GBA potencies and Emax were determined as described above in the present example and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

CONCLUSION

This example demonstrates that the dioxazines of the present disclosure are highly potent and efficacious in comparison with state-of-the-art GBA inducers like Ambroxol and LTI-291. These effects render the dioxazines of the present disclosure promising candidates for treatment of GBA-mediated disorders.
