Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 202110990705.2, filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Aug. 26, 2021, and titled with “SARM1 ENZYME ACTIVITY INHIBITOR AND APPLICATION THEREOF”, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.


FIELD

The present disclosure relates to compounds for inhibiting SARM1 enzymatic activity, and/or use of the compound in treating and/or preventing a neurodegenerative or neurological disease or condition associated with SARM1 enzymatic activity.


BACKGROUND

Neurodegenerative diseases are a type of disease that can seriously harm humans, which can be a progressive disease that causes devastating damage, such as death of nerve cells. As the primary neurodegenerative diseases, central nervous system diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and Huntington's disease, and peripheral neurological diseases such as diabetes are already known. Most of these are related to aging, and the onset of these diseases increases with age, although they also occur in middle-aged people or even younger people.


As a result of studies on brain structure and function, the roles of neurotransmitters and neurotrophic factors have been gradually elucidated, but many local causes of neurodegeneration remain unclear. Only for Parkinson's disease, the relationship between the disease and dopamine, a special neurotransmitter, has been clarified, and L-dopa, a precursor of dopamine, has been used as a drug to reduce neurological symptoms and restore neurological functions. However, L-dopa cannot inhibit the development of neurodegeneration, and gradually loses its effect as the disease progresses, that is, the degeneration and defects of dopamine-based nerve cells. Similarly, Alzheimer's disease is also caused by the degeneration and defects of various nerve cells, such as acetylcholine-based nerve cells and monoamine-based nerve cells. As drugs to treat this disease, cholinesterase inhibitors have been put on the market or are in the process of being developed. However, L-dopa for treating Parkinson's disease is still limited to symptomatic treatment to temporarily improve neurological symptoms.


Therefore, there is currently a lack of effective therapeutic drugs for neurodegenerative diseases.


It has been found from studies that nerve axon damage occurs in a variety of neurological diseases such as neurodegenerative diseases and accidental injuries. Axonal degeneration can cause structural necrosis and dysfunction of the peripheral nervous system, ultimately leading to acquired or inherited degenerative diseases of the central nervous system.


Although there is currently no very effective pharmacological method that can accurately assess the weight of incidence rate caused by axonal degeneration, it has been found in histopathological studies that significant axonal damage and degradation are observed in the early stages of various neuropathies such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and peripheral neuropathy, indicating that axonal degeneration plays an important role in the development of neuropathy (Fischer et al., Neuro-degenerative Diseases, 2007, 4:431-442). Therefore, maintaining the integrity of neuronal structure and function by attenuating or even blocking axonal degeneration may be a therapeutic method that can benefit a variety of neurological diseases.


In the absence of effective therapeutic drugs for neurodegenerative diseases, the research and development of new compounds is urgently required in the prior art, especially small chemical molecules, including compounds that have effect on neural axon degeneration.


SUMMARY

After extensive research, the inventors unexpectedly found a class of compounds with significant inhibitory effect on SARM1 enzymatic activity, and found that the compounds can improve axonal degeneration and be used to treat or prevent neurodegenerative diseases and related conditions.


SARM1 consists of three domains, namely Armadillo/HEAT repeat (ARM) domain at the N-terminal, two tandem Sterile alpha motif (SAM) domains, and Toll/Interleukin receptor (TIR) domain at the C-terminal. In addition, there is also a mitochondrial localization signal peptide at the N-terminal.


It is known that in wild-type neurons, axonal injury induces NAD+ depletion and axonal degeneration. Knocking out SARM1 inhibits axonal degeneration, and maintains NAD+ at normal levels, indicating that SARM1 promotes NAD+ consumption and aggravates axonal degeneration.


Milbrandt's research group at Washington University School of Medicine prepared TIR domain of SARM1 (SARM1-TIR) and found that it has NAD+ hydrolase activity. High-purity SARM1-TIR was further obtained through strict E. coli expression and purification experiments and a cell-free expression system. It has been finally proven that SARM1-TIR can catalyze NAD+ to produce adenosine 5′-diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and cyclic adenosine 5′-diphosphate ribose (cADPR).


SARM1 is a multifunctional signaling enzyme that can catalyze a variety of substrates NAD+, NADP+ and NA etc. to generate signal molecules such as cADPR, ADPR and NAADP. In a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, SARM1 is activated, leading to NAD+ depletion, thereby initiating a new cell death mechanism. Knocking out SARM1 can inhibit axonal degeneration and disease progression. Therefore, SARM1 is considered a potential drug target for related neurological diseases, including TBI, AD, CIPN, ASL, etc.


In the present disclosure, the inventor prepared full-length SARM1, which was used in NAD enzymatic activity experiments, and used to screen and discover herein compounds with inhibitory SARM1 enzymatic activity.


Therefore, based on the above findings, in a first aspect, the present disclosure provides use of a SARM1 enzymatic activity inhibitor in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease or a neurological disease or condition.


In another aspect, the present disclosure provides use of a SARM1 enzymatic activity inhibitor in the manufacture of a medicament for treating or preventing an axonal degeneration-related disease or condition.


In particular, the present disclosure provides a compound represented by formula I that serves as an inhibitor of SARM1 enzymatic activity:

It is known to those skilled in the art that in addition to the salts of compounds, solvates and hydrates are alternative forms of compounds, which can all be converted into the compounds under certain conditions. Therefore, when referring to a compound herein, the solvate and hydrate thereof are generally included.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure may be formed using, for example, the following inorganic or organic acids. “Pharmaceutically acceptable salts” refer to salts which, within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, are suitable for contact with humans and mammals tissue without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, etc., and have a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. The salts may be prepared in situ during the final isolation and purification of the compounds of the present disclosure, or prepared separately by reacting a free base or free acid with a suitable reagent. For example, a free base can be reacted with a suitable acid. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts are salts formed by amino (amine) with inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and perchloric acid) or organic acids (such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid), or salts formed by using other methods in the art such as ion exchange. Other pharmaceutically acceptable salts include sodium alginate, ascorbate, benzenesulfonate, adipate, camphorsulfonate, aspartate, benzoate, bisulfate, borate, butyrate, camphorate, citrate, lauryl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, formate, fumarate, glucoheptonate, glycerol phosphate, gluconate, enanthate, hexanoate, hydroiodide, lactobionate, lactate, laurate, lauryl sulfate, malate, maleate, malonate, methanesulfonate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, niacinate, nitrate, oleate, oxalate, palmitate, pamate, pectate, persulfate, 3-phenylpropionate, phosphate, picrate, pivalate, propionate, stearate, succinate, sulfate, tartrate, thiocyanate, p-toluenesulfonate, undecanoate, valerate, etc.


The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the present disclosure can be prepared by conventional methods, for example, by dissolving the compound of the present disclosure in a water-miscible organic solvent (such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, and acetonitrile), adding an excess amount of organic acid or inorganic acid aqueous solution thereto, to precipitate salt from the resulting mixture, removing the solvent and the remaining free acid therefrom, and isolating the precipitated salt.


“Solvate” as used herein refers to a physical association of the compound of the present disclosure with one or more solvent molecules, whether organic or inorganic. This physical association includes a hydrogen bond. In certain circumstances, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid, the solvate will be able to be isolated. The solvent molecules in a solvate may exist in regular and/or disordered arrangements. A solvate may contain stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules. “Solvate” encompasses both solution phase and isolable solvate. Exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, ethanolates, metholates, and isopropolates. Solvation methods are well known in the art.


“Stereoisomerism” as used herein is divided into conformational isomerism and configurational isomerism. Configurational isomerism can further be divided into cis-trans isomerism and optical isomerism. Conformational isomerism refers to a stereoisomerism phenomenon in which each atom or group of atoms of an organic molecule with a certain configuration are arranged differently in space due to the rotation or distortion of carbon-carbon single bonds. Common structures include alkanes and cycloalkanes, such as the chair conformation and boat conformation that appear in the cyclohexane structure. “Stereoisomer” means that the compound of the present disclosure contains one or more asymmetric centers, which is thus available to be a racemate and racemic mixture, single enantiomer, diastereomeric mixture and single diastereomer. The compound of the present disclosure can have an asymmetric center, and each asymmetric center will produce two optical isomers. The scope of the present disclosure includes all possible optical isomers and diastereomeric mixtures and pure or partially pure compounds.


In particular, the compound described in the present disclosure may exist as a tautomer having different points of attachment of hydrogens by displacement of one or more double bonds. For example, a ketone and its enol form are keto-enol tautomers. Each tautomer and mixtures thereof are included in the compound of the present disclosure. All enantiomers, diastereomers, racemates, mesomers, cis-trans isomers, tautomers, geometric isomers, epimers, mixtures thereof, etc. are included in the scope of the present disclosure.


“Isotopic derivative” as used herein refers to a molecule in which the compound of the present disclosure is isotopically labeled. Isotopes commonly used as isotope labels include hydrogen isotopes: 2H and 3H; carbon isotopes: 11C, 13C and 14C; chlorine isotopes: 35Cl and 37Cl; fluorine isotope: 18F; iodine isotopes: 123I and 125I; nitrogen isotopes: 13N and 15N; oxygen isotopes: 15O, 17O and 18O, and sulfur isotope: 35S. The isotopically labeled compounds can be used to study the distribution of pharmaceutical molecules in tissues. Substitution by certain heavy isotopes, such as deuterium (2H), can enhance metabolic stability and extend half-life, thereby reducing administration amount and providing therapeutic advantages. Isotopically labeled compounds are generally synthesized starting from labeled starting materials using known synthetic techniques as for non-isotopically labeled compounds.


The compound of the present disclosure may be used in combination with an additional SARM1 enzymatic activity inhibitor for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease or related neurological disease or condition, or may be used in combination with an additional active drug for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease or related neurodegenerative disease or condition, for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease or related neurodegenerative disease or condition.

The term “substituted”/“substitution” as used herein means that at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a non-hydrogen group, provided that normal valency is maintained and that the substitution results in a stable compound. As used herein, a cyclic double bond is a double bond formed between two adjacent ring atoms (such as C═C, C═N, or N═N).


When any variable occurs more than once in any composition or formula of a compound, its definition on each occurrence is independent of its definition on every other occurrence. Thus, for example, if a group is shown substituted with 0-3 R, then the group may be optionally substituted with up to three R groups, with R on each occurrence being independently selected from the definition of R. Furthermore, combinations of substituents and/or variables are permitted only if such combinations result in stable compounds.


As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to an amount of a drug or agent (i.e., the compound of the present disclosure) that will elicit the biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal, or human, for example, that is sought by a researcher or clinician. Furthermore, the term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to an amount that results in improved treatment, cure, prevention, or alleviation of a disease, condition, or side effect, or reduction in rate at which the disease or condition progresses, compared to a corresponding subject that does not receive such amount. An effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations, applications or doses and is not intended to be limited by a particular formulation or route of administration. The term further includes an amount effective to enhance normal physiological functions within its scope.


The term “treatment” as used herein includes any effect resulting in amelioration of a condition, disease, disorder, etc., such as alleviation, reduction, regulation, amelioration or elimination, or compromise of symptoms thereof.


The term “pharmaceutically acceptable” is used herein to refer to those compounds, substances, compositions and/or dosage forms which, within the scope of reasonable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissue without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions and/or other problems or complications, and proportionate to a reasonable benefit/risk ratio.


The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” as used herein refers to a pharmaceutical substance, composition or vehicle such as a liquid or solid filler, diluent, excipient, manufacturing auxiliary (e.g., lubricant, talc, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate or zinc stearate or stearic acid) or a solvent encapsulated substance, which involves carrying or transporting the subject compound from one organ or part of the body to another. Each carrier must be “acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and harmless to the patient.


The term “pharmaceutical composition” refers to a composition comprising a compound of the present disclosure and at least one other pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. “Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” refers to a medium generally accepted in the art for the delivery of biologically active agents to animals, particularly mammals, including (i.e.) adjuvants, excipients or vehicles such as diluents, preservatives, fillers, flow regulators, disintegrants, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, sweeteners, flavoring agents, aromatics, antibacterial agents, antifungal agents, lubricants and dispersants, depending on the mode of administration and characteristics of dosage form.


As used herein, a compound or pharmaceutical composition, when administered, can ameliorate a disease, symptom or condition, especially the severity thereof, delay the onset of the disease, slow down the progression of the disease, or reduce the duration of the disease. Whether the administration is fixed or temporary, continuous or intermittent may be attributed to or related to the administration circumstances.


Route of Administration

Suitable routes of administration include, but are not limited to, oral, intravenous, rectal, aerosol, parenteral, ocular, pulmonary, transdermal, vaginal, ear canal, nasal and topical administration. In addition, by way of example only, parenteral administration includes intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection, intravenous injection, intramedullary injection, ventricular injection, intraperitoneal injection, intralymphatic injection, and intranasal injection.


In an aspect, the compounds described herein are administered locally rather than systemically. In a certain embodiment, a long-acting formulation is administered by implantation (e.g., subcutaneously or intramuscularly) or by intramuscular injection. Furthermore, in another particular embodiment, the drug is administered via a targeted drug delivery system, for example, a liposome coated with organ-specific antibodies. In this particular embodiment, the liposome is selectively targeted to specific organs for uptake.


In the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, pharmaceutical carriers can be formulated according to many factors within the scope of knowledge of those skilled in the art. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and characteristics of the active agent formulated; the subject to whom the composition containing the active agent is to be administered; the intended route of administration of the composition; and the targeted therapeutic indication. Pharmaceutical carriers include aqueous and non-aqueous liquid media and various solid and semi-solid dosage forms.


The carriers described above may include many other different ingredients and additives in addition to the active agent. The other ingredients are included in the formulation for various reasons known to those skilled in the art, such as an activity-stabilizing agent and a binding agent. Descriptions of suitable pharmaceutical carriers and factors involved in carrier selection can be found in several readily available sources, such as Allen L. V Jr. et al. Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy (2 Volumes), 22nd Edition (2012), Pharmaceutical Press.

The PCR amplification reaction system comprised: 10 μL of 5× PrimeSTAR Buffer (Mg2+ plus), 4 μL of dNTP Mixture (2.5 mM each), dN-SARM1-F with a final concentration of 0.2 μmol/L, dN-SARM1-R with a final concentration of 0.2 μmol/L, 100 ng of DNA template, and 0.5 μL of PrimeSTAR HS DNA Polymerase (2.5 U/μL), and the system was finally added with sterilized ddH2O to 50 μL. The full-length SARM1 was synthesized into the pUC57 plasmid by WZ Biosciences Inc., and PCR was performed using pUC57-SARM1 as a DNA template.


The PCR amplification products were electrophoresed using agarose gel, and then recovered and purified using Omega gel recovery kit D2500-02. The specific steps of gel cutting and recovery were performed referring to the kit instruction. The recovered and purified PCR amplification product was constructed into the pENTR vector with BC2T-TEV


A recombinant plasmid was constructed as follows:


Enzyme digestion reaction system comprised 800 ng of PCR amplification recovery product or plasmid, 1 μL each of endonuclease (Fastdigest) and 1 μL of buffer, and the system was added with sterilized water to a volume of 10 μL. The enzyme digestion reaction was performed at a constant temperature of 37° C. for 30 minutes.


Plasmid ligation: After the enzyme digestion reaction was completed, 300 ng of the enzyme-digested PCR amplification recovery product and 50 ng of the enzyme-digested plasmid were evenly mixed with 1 μL of T4 DNA ligase and 1 μL of T4 DNA ligase buffer, and the mixture was added with sterilized water to a volume of 20 μL. The ligation was performed at a constant temperature of 16° C. overnight.


The ligation product was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, and then recovered and purified using Omega gel recovery kit D2500-02. The recovered and purified product was the recombinant plasmid of this example, labeled as pENTR1A-BC2T-dN-SARM1.


After the pENTR1A-BC2T-dN-SARM1 plasmid was constructed, dN-SARM1 was recombined into pLenti-CMV-puro-dest through LR reaction.


Recombinant reaction system comprised 150 ng of pENTR1A-BC2T-dN-SARM1, 50 ng of pLenti-CMV-puro-dest and 1 μL of 5× LR Clonase™ reaction buffer, and the system was added with sterilized water to a total volume of 5 μL.


(2) Transfection

In this example, the constructed pLenti-CMV-puro-dest and viral packaging plasmid psPAX2, pMD2.G (addgene psPAX2: #12260, pMD2.G: #12259) were co-transfected into HEK293T cells (ATCC) through liposomes Lipofectamine 2000 (Life Technologies), to prepare viruses with dN-SARM1 reading frame. The details were as follows:


1×106 cells were plated in a 3.5 cm dish, and transfect the next day.


A plasmid mixture comprised 1.7 μg of pLenti-dN-SARM1, 1.7 μg of psPAX2, 0.6 μg of pMD2.G, and 8 μL of lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. Transfection was carried out according to the instruction. The medium was changed after 8 hours, and the virus was collected after 48 hours.


(3) Cell Screening

HEK293T cells obtained in the “(2) Transfection” step were infected with dN-SARM1 virus, and cells stably expressing dN-SARM1 protein were screened by adding puromycin. The details were as follows:


Virus: 2×105 cells were infected with virus at 80 μL/3.5 cm. After 48 hours of infection, 2 μg/mL puromycin was added for screening. After 48 hours of screening, cells not infected with the virus were completely dead. Most of the virus-infected cells survived. 2 μg/mL puromycin was added for secondary screening for 48 hours.


(4) Protein Extraction

Cells stably expressing dN-SARM1 protein obtained in the “(3) Cell Screening” step were cultured and collected. The dN-SARM1 protein expressed in the cytoplasm was obtained through digitonin cleavage, which was used for in vitro activity assay. The details were as follows:


Cells were cultured in DMEM in a 10 cm dish, digested with trypsin-EDTA, then centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes, washed once with PBS, then resuspended with PBS containing 100 μM digitonin at 0.6 mL PBS/10 cm cells, and lysed for 5 minutes. The cells were added with trypan blue and observed under a microscope. More than 90% of the cells had been lysed. The cells were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes, and the supernatant of dN-SARM1 protein was collected.


Biological Activity Example 2: In Vitro Biochemical Assay for Inhibiting SARM1 Enzymatic Activity (% Inhibition Rate)

The compounds were subjected to PC6 fluorescence method measurement [Chinese Patent 202010528147.3] using the dN-SARM1 protein obtained through “(4) Protein extraction” in “Expression and purification of SARM1 protein” in the above biological activity example 1.


Reaction Conditions:

First, 0.05 μg/ml dN-SARM1 and 20 μM compound were incubated in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) solution for 10 min, and then added with 50 μM NAD and 50 μM PC6 as substrate and 50 μM NMN as activator for 30 minutes of reaction at room temperature. The concentration of each component was the final concentration in the reaction system.


During the reaction, PC6 fluorescence spectrum dynamics were detected by a microplate reader, wherein the excitation wavelength and emission wavelength for detection were 390 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Finally, the reaction rate was used to express the activity of the protein. The higher the reaction rate, the stronger the activity of the protein and the lower the inhibitory efficiency of the compound.

Biological Activity Example 3: In Vitro Biochemical Assay for Inhibiting SARM1 Enzymatic Activity (IC50)

200 μM compound was first added to a solution of 0.05 μg/ml dN-SARM1 in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5). Half of the mixture was added to an equal volume of a solution of 0.05 μg/ml dN-SARM1 in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5) and mixed. The drug was diluted 6 times in this manner, with the final concentrations being 200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125 μM, or 200, 50, 12.5, 3.125, 0.78, 0.195, 0.049 μM, respectively. The protein without inhibitors added, being used as control group, was incubated at room temperature for 10 minutes.


50 μM NAD, 50 μM PC6 as substrate and 50 μM NMN as activator were added to the dN-SARM1 protein incubated with the inhibitor and reacted for 30 minutes at room temperature. The concentration of each component was the final concentration in the reaction system.


During the reaction, PC6 fluorescence spectrum dynamics were detected by a microplate reader, wherein the excitation wavelength and emission wavelength for detection were 390 nm and 520 nm, respectively. Finally, the reaction rate was used to express the activity of the protein, and the half inhibitory concentration was calculated. The higher the reaction rate, the stronger the protein activity, and the lower the inhibitory efficiency of the compound.


The dose curve of compounds inhibiting SARM1 enzymatic activity was determined using the above method.

Biological Activity Example 4: Assay of Inhibitory Activity of Drugs in Inducible SARM1 Overexpressing Cell Line

(1) Preparation of iSARM1 Cell Line


In this example, the gene sequence of SARM1 was amplified using PCR, and constructed into pInducer20-neo plasmid. pInducer20-SARM1 virus was packaged in a liposome and infected HEK293 to obtain an inducible SARM1-overexpressing cell line, which was labeled as iSARM1 (HEK293). The specific preparation was as follows:


In this example, the SARM1 gene sequence was amplified by PCR using the primers comprising sequences set forth in SEQ ID No.: 5 and SEQ ID No.: 6. The recovery of PCR amplification products, enzyme digestion, recombinant plasmid construction, transfection and cell screening were all performed in the same manner as dN-SARM1 in “Expression and purification of SARM1 protein”, except that when performing “(3) Cell screening”, “2 μg/mL puromycin” was replaced with 2 mg/mL neomycin. The rest were the same, which will not be repeated here.

(2) Determination of Inhibitory Activity of the Inhibitors on SARM1 Protein in Cell Lines

First, a 96-well culture plate was treated with 0.05 mg/ml polylysine for 5 minutes and washed once with PBS. 3×104 iSARM1 (HEK293) cells were plated into the 96-well plate and cultured overnight in a 37° C. and 5% incubator. The next day, the cells were added with an inhibitor with a final concentration of 50 μM, incubated in the incubator for 1.5 hours, added with activator CZ-48 with a final concentration of 100 μM, and incubated for 16 hours. Meanwhile, the cells without adding CZ-48 or without adding drug were set as control group. Finally, the intracellular cADPR level was detected to represent the activity of SARM1, and the inhibition rate of SARM1 in cells by 50 μM inhibitor was calculated.


The cADPR measurement was performed as follows. First, the cells were washed once with PBS, and added with 150 μl of pre-cooled 0.6M perchloric acid (PCA) to quickly lyse the cells and precipitate the protein. The PCA supernatant was transferred to a 1.5 ml centrifuge tube. The protein in the culture medium was dissolved again with 100 μl of 1M NaOH. The supernatant was added with 0.5 ml of organic reagent mixture (trioctylamine:chloroform=1:3) to extract PCA from water. After sufficient shaking, the mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 minutes. The solution was divided into 3 layers: the upper aqueous phase, containing the small molecules of interest; the lower organic phase, in which PCA was dissolved; and a thin protein layer between the upper and lower layers. The upper layer was transferred to a new centrifuge tube, added with 1M Tris-Mg at a ratio of 1:100 (1M Tris (pH 8.0): 1M MgCl2=9:1), added with NADase at a ratio of 1:250, and treated at 37° C. overnight to remove NAD+ from the mixed solution. After the treatment was completed, the mixed solution was filtered using Millipore's 10 K 96-well filter plate to remove NADase.


The cADPR content in the solution was determined through Cycling analysis method. The specific steps were as follows: 20 μl of the sample to be tested or the cADPR standard was taken and added to a 96-well opaque white plate. Preparation of reaction solution: 9.6 ml of PBS (pH 7.4), 200 μl of ethanol, 150 μl of 1 mg/ml AD, 10 μl of 10 mM FMN, 5 μl of 18 mg/ml Diaphorase, 10 μl of 10 mM Resazurin, and 100 μl of 1M Nam. Half of the reaction solution was divided and added with 0.2 μg/ml cyclase. The reaction solution without adding cyclase was used as control experiment. Each sample was divided into two groups, 3 replicates in each group. The reaction solutions containing or not containing cyclase were added to each group to perform the reaction. The reaction kinetic curve within 30 minutes was recorded (Ex:Em=544/599). The average slope of the reaction was calculated. Conversion was performed according to cADPR standard to obtain the accurate cADPR content. A curve of intracellular cADPR content vs corresponding inhibitor concentration was plotted. The half inhibitory concentration of the inhibitor was calculated.


Using the above method, the drug inhibitory activity (EC50) in the inducible overexpressing SARM1 cell line is shown in Table 3 below: cell activity EC50 interval: A<1.0 μM; B: 1-10 μM; C: 10-25 μM
