Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to an inhibitor of human TRPM3 for use in the treatment or prevention of migraine, including in subjects whose migraines are not responsive to CGRP inhibition or whose migraines are responsive to triptans. Combination therapies are also described. In other aspects, the present disclosure provides methods for identifying suitable patients, methods for identifying inhibitors of human TRPM3, cell lines and agonists for use in such methods and a method for measuring PACAP release.


BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Migraine headaches are a common cause of disability in the United States, affecting approximately 27 million American adults, or 17.1% of women and 5.6% of men. Chronic migraine, which affects 3.2 million Americans (2%), is defined as having migraine symptoms for at least 15 days per month, lasting at least 4 hours, and for longer than 3 months in duration. This is in contrast to episodic migraine, which causes symptoms on fewer than 15 days per month. Current treatment for migraine is divided into acute, abortive agents and medications that will prevent migraine onset. Opioid analgesics and triptans are commonly prescribed for migraine. Whilst these types of drugs provide acute relief, regular use can result in increased headache severity, and progression of headache from an episodic to a chronic state. This form of medication overuse headache is difficult to treat and new treatment options are eagerly awaited.


Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is a peptide that is released by peripheral neurons, including somatosensory neurons of the dorsal root, vagal and trigeminal ganglia where it is reported to act as a neurotransmitter, a vasodilator and as a local mediator of inflammation. Its short half-life (7 mins) normally results in localised effects. However, CGRP levels are increased in the cranial circulation during migraine and cluster headache attacks, and intravenous administration of CGRP triggers migraine attacks in migraineurs suggesting that it has a prominent role in migraine. Four monoclonal antibody antagonists of CGRP function and two small molecule CGRP receptor antagonists have been approved by the FDA for migraine prevention in addition to an oral CGRP receptor antagonist approved for symptomatic treatment of migraine. Evidence suggests that the increased levels of CGRP during migraine are produced in the trigeminal ganglion. CGRP release from the trigeminal ganglion is also implicated in the pathophysiology of trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headaches.


Activation of TRPV1 and TRPA1 has previously been demonstrated to result in release of CGRP from trigeminal neurons derived from rats and mice. TRPV1 and TRPA1 are members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of channels. The TRP gene family comprises at least 28 mammalian genes divided into seven subfamilies. Most of the encoded proteins exhibit common structural features including six predicted transmembrane (TM) domains with a putative pore loop between TM5 and TM6 and the so-called “TRPbox” after TM6. Members of the TRPM subfamily have unusually long cytoplasmic tails at both ends of the channel domain, and some of the family members have an enzyme domain in the C-terminal region. Despite their similarities of structure, TRPMs have different ion-conductive properties, activation mechanisms, and putative biological functions.


The human TRPM3 gene is comprised of 30 exons and maps to human chromosome 9q-21.12. TRPM3 isoforms vary from 1184 to 1744 amino acids in length and possess the characteristic six transmembrane domain of the TRP family. However, unlike some other TRPM family members, TRPM3 does not contain an enzyme domain in the C-terminal cytoplasmic region. Several alternative spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified in mice and humans. The isoforms appear to have very different physiological roles given that one mouse isoform, Trpm3α1 preferentially conducts monovalent cation influx, while another, Trpm3α2 strongly favours divalent ion entry. The mouse Trpm3a2 form is the best studied. It has been reported to be a calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel that can be activated by several stimuli, including ligands, such as pregnenolone sulfate, nifedipine and CIM0216, and heat.


Human TRPM3 expression is detectable in kidney, brain, ovary, and pancreas. Northern blotting of mouse tissues resulted in strong signals in brain, whereas in kidney no signal could be detected. Within brain subregions in the mouse, the highest levels of expression were found in the cerebellum, choroid plexus, the locus coeruleus, the posterior hypothalamus, and the substantia nigra. using a Trpm3-specific antisense RNA probe yielded a positive Trpm3 hybridization signal in 82%±5% of mouse trigeminal neurons. The most abundant isoform in the human dorsal root ganglion as assessed by RNA expression has the UNIPROT ID: Q9HCF6-2.


The prepro-peptide of pituitary adenylate cyclase activating polypeptide (PACAP) is encoded by ADCYAP1 gene and is proteolytically processed into two forms of PACAP containing either 27 or 38 amino acids with PACAP-38 being the more prevalent, representing 90% of PACAP forms in mammalian tissues. Like CGRP, PACAP is a multifunctional vasodilatory peptide that has been implicated in migraine pathogenesis. It has been shown that plasma levels of PACAP are elevated during a migraine attack compared to their interictal levels. Peripheral injection of PACAP in migraineurs resulted in 11 out of 12 subjects experiencing an initial headache, and 7 out of 12 subjects experienced a migraine-like headache that was delayed by 2-11 h. Interestingly, treatment with sumatriptan decreased PACAP-38 levels suggesting that sumatriptan may mediate its effects on migraine via PACAP In addition to its role in migraine pathogenesis, PACAP has been implicated in spontaneous headache conditions. For example, elevated PACAP-38 levels have been observed during the attack phase in episodic cluster headache patients. It has also been demonstrated to relieve opioid induced hyperalgesia in animal models. For example, Pradhan and colleagues have demonstrated that PACAP blockade reduced periorbital allodynia in a mouse model of opioid induced hyperalgesia, and that PACAP blockade reduced cephalic allodynia in mice treated with combined morphine and nitroglycerin.


Currently there is no clinically available PACAP-specific treatment. A PAC1 receptor monoclonal antibody, AMG 301 was observed to offer no benefit over placebo for migraine prevention despite inhibiting nociceptive activity in the trigeminocervical complex to the same extent as sumatriptan in preclinical trials. A monoclonal antibody targeting PACAP-38, ALD1910, however, remains in clinical development for the treatment of migraine patients.


The trigeminal ganglion has been examined to detect neuropeptides including calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and PACAP. In the human trigeminal ganglion nearly half of the neurons were found to be CGRP immunoreactive. PACAP-38 is present in the trigeminal ganglion, and plasma PACAP-38-like immunoreactivity is increased after electrical stimulation of the trigeminal ganglion.


Vriens et al. (Neuron, 2011, 70: 482-494) reported that pregnenolone sulfate induced an inward current in trigeminal neurons from mice which they attributed to TRPM3.


Held et al. (PNAS, 2015, E1363-E1372) reports an experiment in which isolated mouse hind paw skin was induced to release CGRP by treatment with a TRPM3 agonist CIM0216. CGRP release was largely reduced in the presence of a TRPM3 antagonist, isosakuranetin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Statement of the Invention

Example 1 demonstrates that a SNP in the human TRPM3 gene, R1670Q shows a strong genetic association with migraine. Example 3 (FIG. 9) shows that the potency of pregnenolone sulfate is 1.8-fold greater at the R1670Q variant than at canonical form, and the maximal fold change in fluorescence in a calcium mobilisation assay was 26% larger. Thus pregnenolone sulfate is more able to activate the TRPM3 variant associated with increased likelihood of migraine diagnosis than the canonical form of the channel.


Further evidence that TRPM3 activation is causative of migraine comes from the five-day rat dural infusion migraine model. Historical data in this model using an inflammatory soup (2 mM histamine, bradykinin, serotonin, 0.2 mM prostaglandin E2) infusion shows mechanical nociception sensitivity (Oshinsky & Gomoncharconsiri, (2007). Episodic dural stimulation in awake rats: a model for recurrent headache. Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 47(7), 1026-1036). This sensitivity is alleviated with sumatriptan and anti-CGRP therapies, current standard of care compounds for migraine, suggesting this model has clinical translation. Example 4 shows that Pregnenolone sulphate and CIM0216 (TRPM3 agonists) also trigger mechanical allodynia in the periorbital region When comparing significant differences in sensitivity, both Pregnenolone sulphate and CIM0216 were effective in increasing sensitivity to periorbital von Frey (VF) stimulation as early as Day 5 (after 4 infusions) when compared to vehicle treated animals. In other words, Example 4 provides further evidence of the link between TRPM3 activation and migraine.


In addition, the examples demonstrate that inhibition of human TRPM3 in sensory ganglion, including the trigeminal ganglion, reduces production of CGRP. Release of CGRP from the trigeminal ganglion is known in the art to be key to the pathophysiology of migraine, trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headache. Release of CGRP from sensory ganglion is strongly associated with postherpetic neuralgia, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, HIV sensory neuropathy, peripheral nerve injury and phantom limb pain. Accordingly, in a first aspect, the invention provides an inhibitor of human TRPM3 for use in the treatment or prevention of a disorder selected from: migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, postherpetic neuralgia, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, HIV sensory neuropathy, peripheral nerve injury and phantom limb pain. In one embodiment, the disorder is selected from: migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, cluster headache, postherpetic neuralgia, chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome and HIV sensory neuropathy. In one embodiment, the disorder is migraine, trigeminal neuralgia and cluster headache. In one embodiment, the disorder is migraine. In another embodiment, the disorder is trigeminal neuralgia. In another embodiment, the disorder is cluster headache.


Example 2 also demonstrates that inhibition of human TRPM3 in sensory ganglion, including the trigeminal ganglion, reduces production of PACAP. In other words, inhibition of human TRPM3 in sensory ganglia reduce production of both CGRP and PACAP. Both neuropeptides are known to cause migraine and therapies inhibiting CGRP and PACAP signalling have been developed although as of the date of filing, only CGRP blocking therapies have been approved. Trpm3 inhibitors have the ability to treat migraine mediated by CGRP and PACAP. It is known that there are classes of patients for whom the approved CGRP therapies are ineffective. It is believed trpm3 inhibition may be an effective therapeutic in such patients due to the impact of trpm3 inhibition upon PACAP. Example 5 shows that this patient group is significant, comprising over 10% of migraine patients, and includes patients with and without mutations in trpm3. It is believed that trpm3 inhibition may be an effective therapeutic in patients that are not responsive to PACAP blockade due to the impact of trpm3 inhibition upon CGRP. Given that triptans may mediate their effects on migraine via PACAP, it is plausible that trpm3 inhibition may be an effective therapy in a human subject whose migraines are responsive to therapy with triptans. For the same reasons, it is also plausible that trpm3 inhibition may be an effective therapy for cluster headache in a human subject whose headaches are not responsive to CGRP therapies, and/or whose headaches are responsive to therapy with triptans


As discussed in the section entitled Background to the invention, PACAP receptor antagonism has also been demonstrated to relieve opioid induced hyperalgesia in an animal model. Accordingly, the demonstration in the examples that trpm3 inhibition reduces PACAP shows that trpm3 inhibitors are suitable for the treatment of medication overuse headache, including opioid induced hyperalgesia . . . .

Human Trpm3


Human TRPM3 refers to a protein product of the TRPM3 gene present on chromosome 9q-21.12. Allelic variants including those encoded by SNPs associated with migraine are included within this definition. In addition, the definition covers all isoforms of human TRPM3 that may be generated from any allelic variant.


In one embodiment, human TRPM3 refers to the hTRPM3 variant having the amino acid sequence set out in any one of sequences set out as: SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO. 5, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:16, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ ID NO:18, SEQ ID NO:19, SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:22, SEQ ID NO:23, SEQ ID NO:24, SEQ ID NO: 25, SEQ ID NO:26, SEQ ID NO: 27, SEQ ID NO: 28, SEQ ID NO:29, SEQ ID NO:30, SEQ ID NO:31, SEQ ID NO: 32, SEQ ID NO: 33, SEQ ID NO: 34, SEQ ID NO: 35, SEQ ID NO: 36 and SEQ ID NO: 37 or a processed version of any one of SEQ ID Nos. 1-37 lacking the initial methionine residue.


In one embodiment, human TRPM3 refers to the TRPM3 variant having the amino acid sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2, or a processed version of this variant lacking the initial methionine residue.


In one embodiment, human TRPM3 is a human TRPM3 having one or more mutations compared with the sequences set out in SEQ ID NO: 1 to SEQ ID NO:37. In one embodiment, human TRPM3 has an amino acid substitution at one or more of the following positions R1670, A1645, R1457, D602, K774, S1678, Y378, V990 and P1090 (numbering based on SEQ ID NO:2). In one embodiment, human TRPM3 has one or more of the following substitutions R1670Q, A1645V, R1457Q, D602V, K774R, S1678F, Y378C, V990M and P1090Q (numbering based on SEQ ID NO:2). The skilled person will appreciate that, although the substitutions are described in relation to SEQ ID NO: 2, the substitution could occur in any isoform, and the invention is intended to encompass the corresponding variants with amino acid substitutions in each of SEQ ID NO:1 or SEQ ID NOS: 3-37 (or processed forms of these sequences lacking the initial methionine).


In one embodiment, human TRPM3 is a human TRPM3 having a gain of function mutation. A gain of function is one that results in constitutive activity (i.e., calcium influx in the absence of a stimulus), or increased sensitivity to stimuli (calcium influx at a lower concentration of agonist, or a larger calcium mobilisation at the same agonist concentration) as determined in a calcium mobilisation assay. In one embodiment, the human TRPM3 has one or more of the following amino acid substitutions R1670Q, A1645V, V990M and P10900 (numbering based on SEQ ID NO: 2).

Conventional sequencing techniques can be used to identify changes in the nucleotide sequence of human TRPM3. Changes in nucleotide sequences that give rise to changes in the amino sequence can be readily identified. The nucleotide sequences of the exons of the human TRPM3 are set out as SEQ ID NO: 38 to 69.


The term human TRPM3 channel encompasses a channel composed of at least one monomer of human TRPM3 as outlined above. The term therefore encompasses heterotetrameric channels formed from mixtures of human TRPM3 variants and homotetrameric channels formed from a single human TRPM3 variant. In one embodiment, the term human TRPM3 channel refers to a homotetrameric channel.

In one embodiment, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 reduces PACAP levels by at least as much as a blocking concentration of isosakuranetin ((2S)-5,7-dihydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-dihydrochrornen-4-one).


Property 5 is assessed in a suitable model, for example the five-day rat dural infusion migraine model described by Oshinsky et al., supra, using a TRPM3 agonist in place of inflammatory soup. The level of facial allodynia is lower in the presence of an inhibitor of human TRPM3 compared to that observed in the absence of the inhibitor of human TRPM3. In a particular embodiment, the reduction in facial allodynia is measured using von Frey filaments. In particular embodiments, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 reduces the von Frey threshold on a particular day following infusion by 0.5 g, 1 g, 1.5 g, or 2 g. In certain embodiment, the reduction is measured from day 0 to day 14 post the completion of infusion. In particular embodiments, the reduction is measured on day 0, day 3, day 6, day 9 or day 12.


In the assays used to assess these properties, any compound capable of promoting calcium ion influx in a cell line expressing human TRPM3 may be used as the agonist. In one embodiment, the calcium ion influx is mediated by human TRPM3. Typically, the agonist is used at a concentration causing a response between 50% and 80% of the maximal response (i.e. between EC50-EC80) for the assays used to assess properties 1 to 4. In one embodiment, the agonist is pregnenolone sulfate or CIM0216 (racernate of 2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-2-phenylacetamide). In one embodiment, the agonist is (R)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide. In another embodiment, the agonist is (S)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide. FIG. 13 shows that (R)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide is a more potent agonist than the (S)-isomer. Further details of the conduct of these assays are set out in the section entitled “IDENTIFICATION OF INHIBITORS OF HUMAN TRPM3”.


Accordingly, in one embodiment, the invention provides (R)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide or a salt thereof. In a more particular embodiment, the invention provides (R)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide (free base).


The nature of an inhibitor of human TRPM3 is not limited, and could be a chemical compound (i.e. a compound), an oligonucleotide, a peptide, a polypeptide, a protein, an antibody or an alternative antibody format. In one embodiment, the inhibitor of human TRPM3 is a compound.


The term “antibody” is used herein in the broadest sense to refer to molecules with an immunoglobulin-like domain (for example IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD or IgE) and includes monoclonal, recombinant, synthetic, polyclonal, chimeric, human, humanised, multispecific antibodies, including bispecific antibodies, and heteroconjugate antibodies; a single variable domain, antigen binding antibody fragments (e.g. Fab, F(ab′)2, Fv, disulphide linked Fv, single chain Fv, disulphide-linked scFv, diabodies, TANDAB™, etc.) and modified versions of any of the foregoing.


The term “domain” refers to a folded protein structure which retains its tertiary structure independent of the rest of the protein. Generally, domains are responsible for discrete functional properties of proteins and in many cases may be added, removed or transferred to other proteins without loss of function of the remainder of the protein and/or of the domain. The term “single variable domain” refers to a folded polypeptide domain comprising sequences characteristic of antibody variable domains. It therefore includes complete antibody variable domains such as VH, VHH and VL and modified antibody variable domains, for example, in which one or more loops have been replaced by sequences which are not characteristic of antibody variable domains, or antibody variable domains which have been truncated or comprise N- or C-terminal extensions, as well as folded fragments of variable domains which retain at least the binding activity and specificity of the full-length domain. A single variable domain that is capable of binding an antigen or epitope independently of a different variable region or domain may be referred to as a “domain antibody” or “dAb(™)”. A single variable domain may be a human single variable domain, but also includes single variable domains from other species such as rodent, nurse shark and Camelid VHH dAbs™. Camelid VHH are immunoglobulin single variable domain polypeptides that are derived from species including camel, llama, alpaca, dromedary, and guanaco, which produce heavy chain antibodies naturally devoid of light chains. Such VHH domains may be humanised according to standard techniques available in the art, and such domains are considered to be “single variable domains”. As used herein VH includes camelid VHH domains.


Alternative antibody formats are those where the CDRs are arranged onto a suitable non-immunoglobulin protein scaffold or skeleton. The non-immunoglobulin scaffold may be a derived from the group consisting of CTLA-4, lipocalin, Protein A derived molecules such as Z-domain of Protein A (Affibody, SpA), A-domain (Avimer/Maxibody); heat shock proteins such as GroEl and GroES; transferrin (trans-body); ankyrin repeat protein (DARPin); peptide aptamer; C-type lectin domain (Tetranectin); human γ-crystallin and human ubiquitin (affilins); PDZ domains; LDL receptor class A domains; EGF domains; scorpion toxin kunitz type domains of human protease inhibitors; and fibronectin/adnectin.

Additional inhibitors of human TRPM3 are reviewed in Held et al., (2015, Temperature 2: 201-13). Inhibitors include, for example, primidone (5-ethyldihydro-5-phenyl-4,6(1 H,5H)-pyrimidinedione), diclofenac, ononetin, econazole, the calmodulin antagonist W-7, the PPARy agonists rosiglitazone, troglitazone and pioglitazone, the flavonoid derivatives disclosed in Straub et al. (Mol Pharmacol, 2013, 84(5):736-50), the fenamate derivates disclosed in Klose et al. (Br J Pharmacol., 2011, 162(8): 1757-1769), and the TRPM3-specific polyclonal antibody (TM3E3).


The properties that define an inhibitor of human TRPM3 are determined experimentally. The skilled person will appreciate that this permits the identification of additional inhibitors of human TRPM3. This is discussed in the section entitled “IDENTIFICATION OF INHIBITORS OF HUMAN TRPM3”.


In particular embodiments, the inhibitor of human TRPM3 exhibits selectivity for inhibition of human TRPM3 channels in comparison to other TRP channels. In particular, the inhibitor of human TRPM3 exhibits selectivity for inhibition of human TRPM3 over one or more of TRPM1, TRPV1, TRPV4 and TRPM8. The skilled person will readily understand that selectivity can be assessed in binding assays for example, an assay using a labelled ligand, or where the TRP channel also acts to increase intracellular calcium, in a calcium mobilisation assay.


The inhibitor of human TRPM3 may be an inhibitor of a mutated version of human TRPM3, such as those disclosed supra, for example a mutated version of human TRPM3 having a gain of function mutation. For the avoidance of doubt, an inhibitor of a mutated version of human TRPM3 is an inhibitor of the mutated version, and does not require selectivity over the corresponding wild type variant of TRPM3, although selectivity may be required in particular embodiments. For example, in one embodiment, the inhibitor of a mutated version of human TRPM3 having a gain of function mutation is an inhibitor that is selective for the mutated version over the corresponding wild type TRPM3 variant.


In one embodiment, the inhibitor of human TRPM3 exhibits selectivity for the TRPM3 having the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2 (or a processed version of SEQ ID NO:2 lacking the initial methionine residue) over other TRPM3 variants. Similarly to the above, the skilled person would understand that selectivity for this isoform can be assessed in binding assays or using a calcium mobilisation assay using channels that are homotetrameric for SEQ ID NO:2 (or a processed version of SEQ ID NO:2 lacking the initial methionine residue) and channels that are homotetrameric for the reference TRPM3 variant.


In a further embodiment, the inhibitor of human TRPM3 selectively inhibits the response to a particular stimulus. As explained in the Background, human TRPM3 is polymodally activated. In one embodiment, inhibition is selective to agonism by pregnenolone sulfate over heat. In another embodiment, inhibition is selective to agonism by pregnenolone sulfate over other agonists (e.g., nifedipine, D-erythrosphingosine, CIM2016). A functional assay such as a calcium mobilisation assay may be used to assess selectivity to particular stimuli.


In the above embodiments in which selectivity is assessed using a binding assay, the Kd for human TRPM3 channels or channels homotetrameric for a particular isoform of human TRPM3 is at least 10 fold lower compared to the reference channel. In a more particular embodiment, the Kd for the human TRPM3 channels or channels homotetrameric for a particular isoform of human TRPM3 is at least 100 fold lower compared to the reference channel. In embodiments above in which selectivity is assessed using a calcium mobilisation assay, the IC50 or Kd derived therefrom for human TRPM3 channels or channels homotetrameric for a particular isoform of human TRPM3 is at least 10 fold lower compared to the reference channel. In a particular embodiment above in which selectivity is assessed using a calcium mobilisation assay, the IC50 or Kd derived therefrom for human TRPM3 channels or channels homotetrameric for a particular isoform of human TRPM3 is at least 100 fold lower compared to the reference channel.


Identification of Inhibitors of Human Trpm3


As discussed supra, the properties that define an inhibitor are determined experimentally in assays. These assays can be used to identify additional inhibitors of human TRPM3.


Property 1 is measured using a calcium mobilisation assay in which changes in intracellular calcium ion levels are detected by changes in calcium indicator compounds. Currently, over one hundred chemically synthesized and genetically encoded calcium indicators are available.


Accordingly, in one aspect, the invention provides a method for identifying an inhibitor of human TRPM3, comprising:

    • a) contacting a cell line expressing human TRPM3 which cells contain an intracellular calcium indicator with an agonist of human TRPM3 in the presence and absence of a test inhibitor; and
    • b) measuring a change in intracellular calcium concentrations by measuring a change in the intracellular calcium indicator;


wherein the test inhibitor is identified as an inhibitor for human TRPM3 if intracellular calcium concentrations are reduced in the presence of the test inhibitor compared to those achieved in the absence of test inhibitor.


In one embodiment, the intracellular calcium indicator is a synthetic calcium indicator, and step a) is preceded by a step of loading the cells with the indicator. Several synthetic calcium indicator compounds are available commercially, for example, the FLUO calcium indicators (Invitrogen). Synthetic calcium indicators may be loaded into cells using methods known in the art. For example, water soluble salts of synthetic calcium indicators may be loaded into cells by well known methods including microinjection, by addition to patch pipette solutions, or by use of pinocytosis, for example using the INFLUX pinocytotic cell loading reagent. Cell permeant AM esters of calcium indicators may be loaded into cells by addition to the media, typically in the presence of a non-ionic detergent such as PLURONIC F-127, and an anion transport inhibitor such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone, and incubation at 20-37° C. for a suitable period of time (e.g., between 15 minutes and 4 hours). Following cell loading, cells may be washed and background fluorescence due to indicator leakage could be quenched by addition of, for example, an anti-fluorescein antibody, although this is not essential. Where cell permeant AM esters were used, incubation for a further 30 minutes after loading permits de-esterification of the intracellular AM esters prior to the assay being conducted.


In an alternative embodiment, the intracellular calcium indicator is a genetically encoded calcium indicator. Several genetically encoded calcium indicators are known in the art, including the GCaMPs, pericams, GECOs, carngaroos. Constructs for transfecting cell lines with these genetically encoded calcium indicators are known in the art, for example, the GCaMP6s-P2A-Bsr construct (commercially available as Addgene plasmid #40753). Clonal cell lines based upon this construct showed bright, uniform cytoplasmic staining. Transient and stable cell line production using this construct is described in Wu et al., 2019 (2019, Sci Rep, 9: 12692).


In one embodiment, DNA encoding the genetically encoded calcium indicator is transfected into a cell line expressing human TRPM3 before step a). In an alternative embodiment, the cell line is a cell line stably expressing the genetically encoded calcium indicator.


Calcium mobilisation assays using cells loaded with calcium indicators are well known in the art. In one embodiment, the calcium indicator is an indicator whose fluorescence changes in the presence of calcium ions. In such embodiments, calcium mobilisation assays involve measuring levels of fluorescence following excitation with an appropriate wavelength for the calcium indicator following the addition of an agonist and inhibitor. The inhibitor may be added to the cells either before (e.g. 60 minutes before) or at the same time as the agonist. Fluoresence may be measured using a fluorescent imaging plate reader (several are commercially available, for example FLIPR TETRA), or by FACS analysis. Typically, negative and positive controls and standards are included in each experiment. Negative controls lack agonist, positive controls lack inhibitor and a standard uses a blocking concentration of a known inhibitor, for example, isosakuranetin.


A suitable calcium mobilisation assay in 96 well plates has been described by Zhao and colleagues, (eLife 2020; 9: e55634).


In a calcium mobilisation assay, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 is a compound that reduces fluorescence emissions compared to the positive control. In various embodiments, the fluorescence is reduced by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80% or at least 90%. In one embodiment, an inhibitor is a compound that reduces fluorescence by at least as much as a blocking concentration of isosakuranetin. In one embodiment, an inhibitor is a compound that reduces fluorescence by at least as much as a saturating concentration of isosakuranetin (i.e. maximal inhibition with isosakuranetin).


Property 2 is measured in an electrophysiological assay such as patch clamp or using an automated electrophysiology platform. These assays are well known in the art and several automated electrophysiology platforms are available commercially, for example the IONWORKS platforms, PATCHXPRESS, IONFLUX, QPATCH HT/HTX, PATCHLINER and SYNCHROPATCH platforms.


Accordingly, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 can be identified by a method comprising measuring the current increases in a cell line expressing human TRPM3 following challenge with an agonist of human TRPM3 in the presence and absence of a test inhibitor, wherein the test inhibitor is identified as an inhibitor for human TRPM3 if the increase in current is reduced in the presence of the test inhibitor compared to the increase achieved in the absence of the test inhibitor.


In one embodiment, the change in current is measured at a membrane potential of between +/−80 mV. In particular embodiments, the change in current is measured at a membrane potential of −80 mV, −70 mV, −60 mV, −50 mV, −40 mV, −30 mV, −20 mV, −10 mV, 0 mV, +10 mV, +20 mV, +30 mV, +40 mV, +50 mV, +60 mV, +70 mV or +80 mV. In one embodiment, the change in current is measured at a membrane potential of −80 mV. In an alternative embodiment, the change in current is measured at a membrane potential of +80 mV. In certain embodiments, mean changes in current are measured.


The assays to assess properties 1 and 2 utilise cell lines expressing human TRPM3. Primary or immortalised cell lines endogenously expressing human TRPM3 may be used. In one embodiment, the SHSY-5Y cell line may be used. In another embodiment, transient and stable cell lines expressing recombinant human TRPM3 may be prepared by conventional means. In one embodiment, the invention provides a cell line stably expressing recombinant human TRPM3.

In one embodiment, the invention provides a cell line expressing recombinant human TRPM3 variant having the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2, a processed version of SEQ ID NO:2 lacking the initial methionine, or a variant of SEQ ID NO: 2 or the processed version of SEQ ID NO: 2 which has one, two or three amino acid substitutions at residues selected from the group consisting of R1670, A1645, R1457, D602, K774, S1678, Y378, V990 and P1090 (numbering based on SEQ ID NO:2). In one embodiment, the invention provides a cell line expressing recombinant human TRPM3 variant having the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2, a processed version of SEQ ID NO:2, or a variant of SEQ ID NO: 2 or the processed version of SEQ ID NO: 2 which has one, two or three of the following substitutions R1670Q, A1645V, R1457Q, D602V, K774R, S1678F, Y378C, V990M and P1090Q (numbering based on SEQ ID NO:2). In a more particular embodiment, the cell line is formed by transient transfection of DNA encoding the human TRPM3 variant having the sequence set out in SEQ ID NO: 2, a processed version of SEQ ID NO:2 lacking the initial methionine, or a variant of SEQ ID NO:2 or the processed version of SEQ ID NO: 2 comprising the amino acid substitution R1670Q.

In one embodiment, the cell line stably expresses the human TRPM3 variant that has the sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or the processed form of SEQ ID NO:2 lacking the initial methionine, comprising the amino acid substitution R1670Q.


In further embodiments of the above cell lines, the cell line also stably expresses a genetically encoded calcium indicator. In one embodiment, the cell line is a human cell line. In one embodiment, the assays described above are conducted in this cell line. The cell lines described herein may be used in the identification of an inhibitor of human TRPM3.


Property 3) may be measured in freshly extracted dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia from rats or mice and measuring CGRP in the incubation fluid. The CGRP content of the incubation fluid may be measured by methods known in the art. A suitable enzyme immunoassay kits with a detection threshold of 5 μg/mL is commercially available (Bertin Pharma) which permits the media to be photometrically analyzed. Example 2 exemplifies a suitable assay.


In one aspect, the invention provides a method for identifying an inhibitor of human TRPM3, comprising measuring release of CGRP from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia, or from primary cultures of cells isolated from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia, following challenge with an agonist of human TRPM3 in the presence or absence of a test inhibitor, wherein the test inhibitor is identified as an inhibitor for human TRPM3 if CGRP production is reduced in the presence of the test inhibitor compared to CGRP production in the absence of the test inhibitor.


Property 4) may be measured in freshly extracted dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia from rats or mice and measuring PACAP. The PACAP content of the incubation fluid is measured indirectly. The conditioned media is incubated with PAC1-receptor expressing CHO cells, binding of PACAP to PAC1 receptor induces concentration dependent cAMP production that may be measured using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay. A suitable TR-FRET cAMP assay is commercially available from (Perkin Elmer). Example 2 exemplifies a suitable assay.


In one aspect, the invention provides a method for identifying an inhibitor of human TRPM3, comprising measuring release of PACAP from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia, or from primary cultures of cells isolated from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia, following challenge with an agonist of human TRPM3 in the presence or absence of a test inhibitor, wherein the test inhibitor is identified as an inhibitor for human TRPM3 if PACAP production is reduced in the presence of the test inhibitor compared to PACAP production in the absence of the test inhibitor.


In one embodiment, the methods used to measure property 3) or 4) use primary cultures of cells isolated from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia (i.e., cells isolated from dorsal root ganglia or trigeminal ganglia and placed into culture). In one embodiment, the method uses primary cultures of cells isolated from trigeminal ganglia. In one embodiment, the method uses primary cultures of cells in multiwell plates.


In one embodiment, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 reduces PACAP levels by at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80% or at least 90%. In one embodiment, an inhibitor of human TRPM3 reduces PACAP levels by at least as much as a blocking concentration of isosakuranetin.


Property 5) may be assessed in a suitable animal model, for example the five-day rat dural infusion migraine model described in Example 4. The level of facial allodynia is lower in the presence of an inhibitor of human TRPM3 compared to that observed in the absence of the inhibitor of human TRPM3. In a particular embodiment, the reduction in facial allodynia is measured using von Frey filaments. In particular embodiments, an inhibitor of humant TRPM3 reduces the von Frey threshold on a particular day following infusion by 0.5 g, 1 g, 1.5 g, or 2 g. In certain embodiment, the reduction is measured from day 0 to day 14 post the completion of infusion. In particular embodiments, the reduction is measured on day 0, day 3, day 6, day 9 or day 12.


Any compound capable of promoting calcium ion influx in a cell line expressing human TRPM3 may be used as the agonist in the assays described supra. In one embodiment, the influx is mediated by human TRPM3. In one embodiment, the agonist is pregnenolone sulfate or CIM0216 (racemate of 2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1 (2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)-2-phenylacetamide). In a particular embodiment, pregnenolone sulfate is used at a concentration in the range from 1 to 300 μM in the assays measuring properties 1-4. In a particular embodiment, pregnenolone sulfate is used at a concentration of about 100 μM in the assays measuring properties 1-4.

Examples
Example 1: Genome Wide Association Study in Individuals with Migraine

Genome wide association study (GWAS) of individuals diagnosed with migraine identified a genetic region in the TRPM3 locus reaching the accepted genome-wide statistical threshold of p<5×10−8 on human chromosome 9.


GWAS Analysis


We computed association test results for the genotyped and the imputed SNPs. We performed association testing using logistic regression, assuming additive allelic effects. For tests using imputed data, we use the imputed dosages rather than best-guess genotypes. We included covariates for age, sex, and the top five principal components to account for residual population structure. The association test P value was computed using a likelihood ratio test, which in our experience is better behaved than a Wald test on the regression coefficient.


All individuals included in the analyses provided informed consent and answered surveys online according to our human subject protocol, which was reviewed and approved by Ethical & Independent Review Services, a private institutional review board (http://www.eandireview.com).


Genotyping and SNP Imputation


DNA extraction and genotyping were performed on saliva samples by CLIA-certified and CAP-accredited clinical laboratories of Laboratory Corporation of America. Samples were genotyped on one of five genotyping platforms. The V1 and V2 μlatforms were variants of the Illumina HumanHap550+ BeadChip and contained a total of about 560,000 SNPs, including about 25,000 custom SNPs selected by 23andMe. The V3 μlatform was based on the Illumina OmniExpress+ BeadChip and contained a total of about 950,000 SNPs and custom content to improve the overlap with our V2 array. The V4 μlatform is a fully custom array and includes a lower redundancy subset of V2 and V3 SNPs with additional coverage of lower-frequency coding variation, and about 570,000 SNPs. The V5 platform, in current use, is an Illumina Infinium Global Screening Array of about 640,000 SNPs supplemented with about 50,000 SNPs of custom content. Samples that failed to reach 98.5% call rate were re-analyzed. Individuals whose analyses failed repeatedly were re-contacted by 23andMe customer service to provide additional samples, as is done for all 23andMe customers.


Variants were imputed using two separate imputation reference panels. One included a larger number of samples, but did not include insertion or deletion variants. The other included a smaller number of individuals, but included insertion and deletion variants. Phased participant data was generated using an internally-developed tool based on Beagle (Browning, S. R. & Browning, B. L., Rapid and accurate Haplotype Phasing and Missing Data Interference for Whole Genome Association Studies Using Localized Haplotype Clustering, Am. J. Hum. Genet., 81: 1084-1097 (2007)) or a new phasing algorithm, Eagle2 (Loh, P. r. et a.I, Fast and accurate Long-Range Phasing ina UK Biobank Cohort, Nature Genetics, 48: 811-6 (2016)). We imputed phased participant data against both reference panels using Minimac3 (Das, S. et al., Next-generation genotype Imputation Service and Methods, Nat. Genet., 48: 1284-1287 (2016)) and then built a merged imputation dataset by combining the two sets of imputed data. A simple merging rule was applied: if a variant was imputed in the larger panel, the imputed results from the larger panel were included in the merged imputed dataset. For the remaining variants not present in the larger panel, the imputed results from the smaller panel were added to the merged dataset.


Results


We identified an independent association between migraine diagnosis and several SNPs near the TRPM3 C-terminus coding sequence. The sentinel SNP for migraine associations is the missense SNP rs6560142 (P=5.9×10−10, OR=1.020).



FIG. 4 is a regional association plot for migraine diagnosis on chromosome 9 where the x-axis shows physical positions on human genome build GRCh37/hg19 and the y-axes shows the −log 10 of the p-value for association with migraine diagnosis. Each point in the depicted plots represents a genetic variant tested for association in the region. The grey horizontal line represents the genome wide significance threshold of 5×10−8. Human genes in the region are depicted on the lower panel. These GWAS data indicate that the locus (genetic region) shown is implicated in susceptibility to migraine diagnosis in humans. In FIG. 4, the trait analyzed was “migraine diagnosis” where “the cases” are individuals with a migraine diagnosis and “the controls” are individuals who did not have a migraine diagnosis.


A common genetic variant changing the amino acid sequence of the TRPM3 protein was found to be the lead SNP for this locus. This variant rs6560142 (dbSNP build 154 identifier) is located on chromosome 9 at position 73150984 (of the human genome build GRCh37/hg19) and the observed frequency of the migraine diagnosis risk allele “T” is 0.56 in the research participant population with predominantly European ancestry (the protective allele “C” has a frequency of 0.44). This variant can also be described at the amino acid level in TRPM3, for example: Arg1670Gln, (numbering based on SEQ ID NO: 2). The GWAS analysis identified the rs6560142 missense SNP in the TRPM3 coding region as the SNP in this locus with the lowest P value. Consequently, these data imply that TRPM3 has the highest probability of being the gene that is functionally responsible for the association between this locus and migraine diagnosis. Therefore, these novel GWAS data indicates that the TRPM3 protein and its functions contribute to migraine pathophysiology in humans.


Example 2—Neuropeptide Release from Sensory Ganglia Dorsal Root and Trigeminal Ganglion Neuron Cultures

Cultures were prepared from 8-13 week Trpm3+/+ (Wild type), Trpm3−/− (knockout) C57BL/6NJ mice and Sprague Dawley rats. Following cervical dislocation and cardiac cessation, trigeminal ganglia (TG) and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were removed and collected in ice cold dissociation media containing LEBOVITZ L-15 Medium, GLUTAMAX (Gibco). DRG and TG were incubated with 1 mg/ml type 1A collagenase (Sigma-Aldrich) for 15-30 min at 37° C. DRG and TG were then incubated with 1 mg/ml trypsin solution (Sigma-Aldrich) for 30-45 min. Digested ganglia were mechanically dissociated by trituration with a 1 ml pipette. Dissociated DRG were centrifuged at 200 g for 5 min. The cell pellet was resuspended in L15 culture media and plated onto poly-D Lysine 96 well plates (Greiner bio-one) coated with 10 μg/ml laminin (Sigma-Aldrich) and cultured at 37° C., 5% CO2. Dissociated TG were passed through a 70 μm cell strainer and overlaid onto 4% (w/v) BSA. Cells were collected after centrifugation and plated onto poly-D Lysine-laminin coated 96 well plates and cultured at 37° C., 5% CO2. CGRP and PACAP release experiments were conducted after 17-24 h in culture.


Neuropeptide Release Assay


To stimulate neuropeptide release, cells were incubated with TRPM3 agonist, either CIM0216 or pregnenolone sulfate (PS) for 30 min at 37° C. For inhibitor studies, cells were pre-incubated with TRPM3 inhibitor, isosakuranetin for 30 min prior to addition of agonist. At the end of the incubation period, conditioned medium was collected for the detection of CGRP and PACAP.


Measurement of CGRP


CGRP concentrations in conditioned media collected from TG and DRG neuron cultures were determined using an ELISA (Bertin bioreagent).


Measurement of PACAP


PACAP concentrations in conditioned medium collected from TG and DRG neuron cultures were determined indirectly. Conditioned medium was incubated with Chinese Hamster Ovary cells expressing the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide type I (PAC1) receptor (generated in house). Binding of PACAP to the PAC1 receptor induced cAMP production that was measured using a homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) immunoassay (Perkin Elmer). The TR-FRET signal was calibrated against a PACAP-38 standard curve.


Results—CGRP and PACAP Release from DRG and TG Cultures is Modulated by TRPM3 Ligands


To test whether activation of TRPM3 leads to neuropeptide release, cultured DRG and TG neurons were incubated with TRPM3 agonists CIM0216 or pregnenolone sulfate. CIM0216 induced a concentration dependent release of CGRP from DRG (FIGS. 1A and B) and TG (FIG. 3A) neurons. DRG and TG cultures were also responsive to pregnenolone sulfate, resulting in an increased release of CGRP; while a single concentration of PS (100 μM) was tested in DRG cultures (FIG. 1A), the response was demonstrated to be concentration dependent in TG cultures (FIG. 3B).


The ability of TRPM3 inhibitor isosakuranetin to antagonise CGRP release induced by CIM0216 and PS was evaluated. Pre-incubation with isosakuranetin inhibited the response to both agonists in DRG (FIGS. 1A, B and C), and TG neuron cultures (FIGS. 3A, B and C). TRPM3 activation in DRG neurons with either 6 μM or 10 μM CIM0216 (FIG. 2A, 2B respectively) was antagonised by isosakuranetin in a concentration dependent manner, resulting in reduced release of CGRP. In addition, isosakuranetin, 10 PM, reduced the release of CGRP to basal levels or below in the presence of 6 μM CIM0216 (FIG. 2A) or 100 μM PS (FIG. 1A) in DRG cultures, or in the presence of CIM0216 (5100 PM) or PS (5100 μM) in TG cultures (FIGS. 3A and B). These results demonstrate that activation of TRPM3 in DRG and TG neurons with synthetic ligand CIM0216 or neurosteroid pregnenolone sulfate leads to release of CGRP.


The dose-dependent release of CGRP observed in wild type sensory neurons in response to pregnenolone sulfate and CIM0216 was absent from neurons derived from TRPM3 deficient animals (FIG. 8A-D). CGRP release from these neurons could be induced by capsaicin, a TRPV1 agonist, showing that CGRP release to stimuli of other TRP channels is maintained. These data demonstrate that CGRP release induced by PS and CIM0216 is dependent on TRPM3.


CIM0216 induced a concentration-dependent release of PACAP from rat TG cells (FIG. 11A). FIG. 11B demonstrates concentration-dependent inhibition of the CIM0216 response by TRPM3 antagonist, isosakuranetin. FIG. 12 shows activation of TRPM3 results in the release of PACAP from mouse isolated DRG (FIG. 12A, 12B) and TG cells (FIG. 12C, 12D). These responses were absent from TRPM3 knockout mouse cells and inhibited by the TRPM3 antagonist isosakuranetin (FIG. 12A-D). Cells derived from Trpm3 knockout (FIG. 12, A-D) animals were still responsive to the TRPV1 agonist, capsaicin, showing that PACAP release to stimuli of other TRP channels is maintained.


These data demonstrate that PACAP release induced by pregnenolone sulfate and CIM0216 is dependent on TRPM3.


Example 3—Calcium mobilisation assay and cell lines Calcium mobilisation assays were performed in HEK MSR II cells loaded with the calcium indicator dye Fluo4. The cells were induced to express TRPM3 (SEQ ID NO: 2) or mutants thereof by transducing them with Bacmam virus containing the codon optimised cDNA sequence for the required TRPM3 variant at a multiplicity of infection of approximately 40 for 48 hours prior to the experiment. Cells were incubated in the presence of FLUO4-AM and TRPM3 inhibitors for approx 1.5 hrs prior to transfer to a FLIPR where the cells were treated with TRPM3 agonists to induce calcium mobilisation. Fluo4 fluorescence was monitored for 10 min. As a positive control the cells were then treated with the calcium ionophore ionomycin and the fluorescence monitored for a further 3 min.



FIGS. 5, 6, 7 show results in calcium mobilisation assays using pregnenelone sulfate (FIGS. 5 and 7) and CIM0216 (FIG. 6) as TRPM3 agonists, and isosakuranetin as a TRPM3 inhibitor.



FIG. 9 shows pregnenolone sulfate induced concentration-dependent increases in FLUO4 fluorescence in cells expressing canonical TRPM3 (SEQ NO: 2) and a variant of SEQID NO: 2 having the R1670Q mutation. When transduced with equal multiplicities of infection of the relevant Bacmam viruses, the potency of pregnenolone sulfate was 1.8-fold greater at the R1670Q variant than at canonical and the maximal fold change in fluorescence was 26% larger. Thus pregnenolone sulfate is more able to activate the TRPM3 variant associated with increased likelihood of migraine diagnosis than the canonical form of the channel.



FIG. 13 shows the agonist effect of the isomers of CIM0216 in a calcium mobilisation assay. The results show that the R-isomer ((R)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide) is a more potent agonist compared to the S-isomer ((S)-2-(3,4-dihydroquinolin-1(2H)-yl)-N-(5-methylisoxazol-3-yl)propenamide).


Example 4-5 Day Rat Dural Infusion Migraine Model

The five-day rat Dural infusion migraine model is based on repeated inflammatory dural stimulation to mimic the repeated activation of dural afferents believed to occur in patients with recurrent migraine headache. In this model, rats are tested in the periorbital region for mechanical allodynia (a pain response to stimuli which are not normally painful) using von Frey fibres, which are small calibrated fibres which deliver a calibrated amount of force. Historical data in this model shows mechanical nociception sensitivity, which is alleviated with sumatriptan and anti-CGRP therapies, current standard of care compounds, suggesting this model has clinical translation.


The surgery, infusion, and testing followed the modification of the method of Oshinsky & Gomoncharconsiri, 2007, supra. Briefly, rats were habituated and trained for 1-2 weeks and then fitted with a stainless-steel cannula (22GA, Plastics One) under isoflurane anaesthesia. A craniotomy was performed using lambda as a reference (the junction of the superior sagittal sinus and transverse sinus) by advancing 1.5 mm right of lambda and 1 mm anterior towards bregma via a 1 mm hole that was made in the skull to expose the dura. Special attention was given not to disturb the dura. A custom flange guide cannula (22GA, Plastics One) was inserted into the hole (cut 0.5 mm below pedestal). The cannula was fixed to the bone with small screws and dental cement. A dummy that extended just past the end of the cannula was inserted to prevent scar tissue from forming, and thus clogging the cannula. Animals were allowed 1-2 weeks of recovery before testing and infusions began.


Periorbital thresholds were monitored during the recovery period to ensure the thresholds returned to pre-surgery baselines. If animals did not return to baseline, they were excluded from the study. Extra animals were included to account for any post-surgery animal that needed to be excluded.


After recovering from surgery, animals were infused supra-durally with treatments according to Table 1 for 5 consecutive days. Under isoflurane, the animal's nose was place in the nose cone of the anaesthesia machine. Using a haemostat, the base of the flange cannula was clasped, and the dummy cannula was removed. A custom cannula injector was inserted into the flange cannula. With a Hamilton syringe and infusion pump at a rate of 1.759 μl/min 15 μl of formulations was delivered supra-durally.


Animals were randomly assigned to a treatment group (A-C) using a software generated randomization scheme. From the first day of sensitization, each animal was tested routinely (every 2-3 days) for changes in periorbital sensitivity by a blinded investigator.


Pre-infusion sensory testing occurred on Day 1 of the testing schedule to provide a point of comparison for subsequent testing. Sensory testing occurred according to the testing schedule established in Table 1, and prior to infusion when applicable. Sensory testing utilized von Frey filaments with reproducible calibrated buckling forces varying from 0.4-10 g utilizing the Chaplan up and down method. Allodynia was tested by perpendicularly touching the periorbital region causing slight buckling of the filament for approximately 5 seconds. Based on the response pattern and the force of the final filament, the periorbital threshold (g) was calculated (Chaplan et al., 1994, Quantitative assessment of tactile allodynia in the rat paw. Journal of neuroscience methods, 53(1), 55-63). The supra-dural infusions were above the dura in the right brain hemisphere; therefore, the right periorbital threshold data only was recorded. A positive response was characterized by several behavioural criteria: stroking the face with a forepaw, head withdrawal from the stimulus, and head shaking.

Rats that received dural infusions of the vehicle for five days, maintained sensitivity to von Frey thresholds similar to the pre infusion baseline apart from an approximate 18% reduction on day five. This was a transient occurrence and sensitivity quickly returned to baseline levels by day 10.


TRPM3 agonists when administered durally for five days evoked an allodynic response to von Frey filaments in rats. Rats treated with the TRPM3 agonists at lower thresholds than in vehicle treated rats (FIG. 10A). This was sustained and did not return to baseline levels for the duration of the experiment (19 days). Animals showed no overt, lasting adverse effects to the agonists and were feeding and grooming normally. This can be seen in FIG. 10B as TRPM3 agonist treated groups increase in body weight with the same trend as vehicle treated animals.


Sensitivity to non-noxious stimuli is referred to as allodynia and has been shown as a potential clinical correlate in migraine patients. Patients with chronic or transformed migraine exhibit facial allodynia even on days when they do not have a headache (Cooke et al., (2007). Cutaneous allodynia in transformed migraine patients. Headache: The Journal of Head and Face Pain, 47(4), 531-539). Example 4 is evidence that repeated activation by TRPM3 agonists can induce sensitisation in the rodent to a mechanical stimulus, that is similar to a pain assessment used in migraine patients.


Example 5—Patient Population (Non-Responders to CGRP Treatment)

Methods: Data Collection, CGRP-Responder Status by TRPM3 Genotype


23andMe customers, who are genotyped using SNP arrays such that their TRPM3 genetic status at amino acid 1670 is known, were invited by email to complete a Headache and Migraine survey. 23andMe's “Headache and Migraine” survey asks questions on self-reported calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) medication efficacy as follows—A single, check-box question that reads: “Have you ever taken any of the following calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) medications to relieve or prevent your headache or migraine pain?Please check all that apply.”

    • [ ] Aimovig® or erenumab
    • [ ] Emgality® or galcanezumab
    • [ ] Ajovy® or fremanezumab
    • [ ] Nurtec® or rimegepant
    • [ ] Vyepti® or eptinezumab
    • [ ] Ubrelvy® or ubrogepant
    • [ ] Qulipta® or atogepant
    • [ ] Other
    • [ ] None of the above
    • [ ] Not sure
    • For each of the 8 medications (7 listed by name in addition to ‘Other’) listed in the previous question, the survey respondent would see an efficacy question that reads: “How effective was _<medication X>_ in helping to relieve or prevent your headache or migraine pain?”
      • Not at all
      • Slightly
      • Moderately
      • Very
      • Extremely


In order to assess CGRP medication efficacy, data were pulled from only the baseline instance of the “Headache and Migraine” survey. Analysis was limited to individuals who answered at least one of the 8 CGRP medication efficacy questions, have measured SNP dosage data (i.e. TRPM3 status is known), and have consented to participate in 23andMe research. Those who answered more than one CGRP medication efficacy question were assigned an overall efficacy level equal to their maximum response (‘extremely’ >‘very’ >‘moderately’ >‘slightly’ >‘not at all’).


CGRP medication efficacy responses were binarized into “responder(+)” and “never-responder(−)”. “NEVER respond to anti-CGRP medication” individuals were defined as follows:

    • Responder(+): response was one of the following: ‘Slightly’, ‘moderately’, ‘very’, ‘extremely’
    • Non-responder(−): response was ‘Not at all’
    • Individuals were then stratified by TRPM3 status. The number of ‘migraine high-risk’ alleles in each individual (corresponding to the coding variant for 1670Gln) was scored as 0, 1 or 2 depending on allele dosage. Data were compiled in a pivot table, with aggregate data of CGRP responders stratified by TRPM3 status.


Results:

Example 5 is evidence that a population exists that does not respond to CGRP antagonism medication. These individuals could be a target population for a TRPM3 blocker therapy. Of the identified population, 50/58 have at least one migraine high-risk allele, suggesting a higher likelihood of responding to anti-TRPM3 migraine therapy.
