The present invention is concerned with peptides having dual BACE1 inhibitory properties, their manufacture, pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use as therapeutically active substances.
The present compounds have Asp2 (β-secretase, BACE1 or Memapsin-2) inhibitory activity and may therefore be used in the therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of diseases and disorders characterized by elevated β-amyloid levels and/or β-amyloid oligomers and/or β-amyloid plaques and further deposits, particularly Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder of the central nervous system and the leading cause of a progressive dementia in the elderly population. Its clinical symptoms are impairment of memory, cognition, temporal and local orientation, judgment and reasoning but also severe emotional disturbances. There are currently no treatments available which can prevent the disease or its progression or stably reverse its clinical symptoms. AD has become a major health problem in all societies with high life expectancies and also a significant economic burden for their health systems.
The BACE1 enzyme is responsible for one of the proteolytic cleavages of the APP protein that contributes to the generation of the Alzheimer's disease-associated Aβ-peptide. Retarding or stopping the production of AO-peptide through inhibition of the BACE1 enzyme is a promising therapeutic concept.
Active site-directed BACE1 inhibitors are described in e.g. WO2006/002907 and exosite-directed (catalytic domain) BACE1 inhibitors are described in e.g. Kornacker et al., Biochemistry 2005, 44, 11567-73.
Bodor et al describe modified peptides suitable to penetrate the blood-brain-barrier (Bodor et al., Science, Vol. 257, 1992).
Object of the present invention is dual-site BACE1 inhibitor, binding to both, the enzymatic active site and the catalytic domain of the BACE enzyme, the preparation of the above mentioned compounds, medicaments containing them and their manufacture as well as the use of the above mentioned compounds in the therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment of diseases and disorders which are associated with inhibition of BACE1 activity, such as Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, the formation, or formation and deposition, of β-amyloid plaques in, on or around neurological tissue (e.g., the brain) are inhibited by the present compounds by inhibiting the Aβ production from APP or an APP fragment.
The following definitions of the general terms used in the present description apply irrespectively of whether the terms in question appear alone or in combination with other groups.
The term “Sta” stands for statine, (3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid (CAS 49642-07-1).
The term “MetSta” stands for (3S,4S)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylthiohexanoic acid (CAS n/a), (CAS of Fmoc protected: 268542-18-3).
The term “27-OH-Chol” stands for 27-hydroxycholesterol (CAS 20380-11-4). Structure and preparation see page 18, compound 4.
The term “Chol-27-TFA-ester” stands for succinamic acid (3S,8S,9S,10R,13R,14S,17R)-17-[(1R,5R)-1,5-dimethyl-6-(2,2,2-trifluoro-acetoxy)-hexyl]-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl ester, this occurred as byproduct during TFA cleavage of “27-OH-Chol”-peptides.
The term “Chol‘ester”’ stands for cholesteryl hemisuccinate (CAS: 1510-21-0).
The term “PEG(3) stands for 12-amino-4,7,10-trioxadodecanoic acid (CAS: 784105-33-5).
The term “PEG(4) stands for 15-amino-4,7,10,13,tetraoxapentadecanoic acid (CAS: n/a), (CAS of Fmoc protected: 557756-85-1).
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refers to salts that are suitable for use in contact with the tissues of humans and animals. Examples of suitable salts with inorganic and organic acids are, but are not limited to acetic acid, citric acid, formic acid, fumaric acid, hydrochloric acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, malic acid, methane-sulfonic acid, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, p-toluenesulphonic acid, succinic acid, sulfuric acid, sulphuric acid, tartaric acid, trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and the like. A specific salt is trifluoroacetate.
The terms “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” and “pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substance” refer to carriers and auxiliary substances such as diluents or excipients that are compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation.
The term “pharmaceutical composition” encompasses a product comprising specified ingredients in pre-determined amounts or proportions, as well as any product that results, directly or indirectly, from combining specified ingredients in specified amounts. Preferably it encompasses a product comprising one or more active ingredients, and an optional carrier comprising inert ingredients, as well as any product that results, directly or indirectly, from combination, complexation or aggregation of any two or more of the ingredients, or from dissociation of one or more of the ingredients, or from other types of reactions or interactions of one or more of the ingredients.
The term “half maximal inhibitory concentration” (IC50) denotes the concentration of a particular compound required for obtaining 50% inhibition of a biological process in vitro. IC50 values can be converted logarithmically to pIC50 values (−log IC50), in which higher values indicate exponentially greater potency. The IC50 value is not an absolute value but depends on experimental conditions e.g. concentrations employed. The IC50 value can be converted to an absolute inhibition constant (Ki) using the Cheng-Prusoff equation (Biochem. Pharmacol. (1973) 22:3099). The term “inhibition constant” (Ki) denotes the absolute binding affinity of a particular inhibitor to a receptor. It is measured using competition binding assays and is equal to the concentration where the particular inhibitor would occupy 50% of the receptors if no competing ligand (e.g. a radioligand) was present. Ki values can be converted logarithmically to pKi values (−log Ki), in which higher values indicate exponentially greater potency.
“Therapeutically effective amount” means an amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a disease state, is sufficient to effect such treatment for the disease state. The “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, disease state being treated, the severity or the disease treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the route and form of administration, the judgment of the attending medical or veterinary practitioner, and other factors.
The term “as defined herein” and “as described herein” when referring to a variable incorporates by reference the broad definition of the variable as well as preferred, more preferred and most preferred definitions, if any.
The terms “treating”, “contacting” and “reacting” when referring to a chemical reaction means adding or mixing two or more reagents under appropriate conditions to produce the indicated and/or the desired product. It should be appreciated that the reaction which produces the indicated and/or the desired product may not necessarily result directly from the combination of two reagents which were initially added, i.e., there may be one or more intermediates which are produced in the mixture which ultimately leads to the formation of the indicated and/or the desired product.
The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions, methods of using, and methods of preparing the aforementioned compounds.

Cellular Aβ-Lowering Assay:
Human HEK293 cells which are stably transfected with a vector expressing a cDNA of the human APP wt gene (APP695) were used to assess the potency of the compounds in a cellular assay. The cells were seeded in 96-well microtiter plates in cell culture medium (Iscove, plus 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin) to about 80% confluence and the compounds were added at a 10× concentration in 1/10 volume of medium without FCS containing 8% DMSO (final concentration of DMSO was kept at 0.8% v/v). After 18-20 hrs incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator the culture supernatant was harvested for the determination of Aβ40 concentrations. 96well ELISA plates (e.g., Nunc MaxiSorb) were coated with monoclonal antibody which specifically recognize the C-terminal end of Aβ40 (Brockhaus et al., NeuroReport 9, 1481-1486; 1998). After blocking of non-specific binding sites with e.g. 1% BSA and washing, the culture supernatants were added in suitable dilutions together with a horseradish peroxidase-coupled Aβ detection antibody (e.g., antibody 4G8, Senetek, Maryland Heights, Mo.) and incubated for 5 to 7 hrs. Subsequently the wells of the microtiter plate were washed extensively with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.05% Tween 20 and the assay was developed with tetramethylbenzidine/H2O2 in citric acid buffer. After stopping the reaction with one volume 1 N H2SO4 the reaction was measured in an ELISA reader at 450 nm wavelength. The concentrations of Aβ in the culture supernatants were calculated from a standard curve obtained with known amounts of pure Aβ peptide.
The dual-site BACE1 inhibitors and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used as therapeutically active substances, e.g. in the form of pharmaceutical preparations. Examples for pharmaceutical preparations are an enteral formulation, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragées, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions or the like. The administration can, however, also be effected rectally, e.g. in the form of suppositories, parenterally, e.g. in the form of injection solutions, or as intranasal delivery, e.g. as nasal spray.
The dual-site BACE1 inhibitors and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be processed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers for the production of pharmaceutical preparations. Lactose, corn starch or derivatives thereof, talc, stearic acids or its salts and the like can be used, for example, as such carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragées and hard gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes, fats, semi-solid and liquid polyols and the like. Depending on the nature of the active substance no carriers are however usually required in the case of soft gelatine capsules. Suitable carriers for the production of solutions and syrups are, for example, water, polyols, glycerol, vegetable oil and the like. Suitable carriers for suppositories are, for example, natural or hardened oils, waxes, fats, semi-liquid or liquid polyols and the like. The dual-site BACE1 inhibitors and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can also be encapsulated in suitable polymers or formulated using nanotechnology.
The pharmaceutical preparations can, moreover, contain pharmaceutically acceptable auxiliary substances such as preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, masking agents or antioxidants. They can also contain still other therapeutically valuable substances.
Medicaments containing a dual-site BACE1 inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a therapeutically inert carrier are also an object of the present invention, as is a process for their production, which comprises bringing one or more dual-site BACE1 inhibitors and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical administration form together with one or more therapeutically inert carriers.
The dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, have to be adjusted to the individual requirements in each particular case. In the case of oral administration the dosage for adults can vary from about 0.01 mg to about 1000 mg per day of a dual-site BACE1 inhibitors or of the corresponding amount of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The daily dosage may be administered as single dose or in divided doses and, in addition, the upper limit can also be exceeded when this is found to be indicated.
