Patent Application

The present technology relates to compounds useful as mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) inhibitors. In some embodiments, the present technology provides treatments of various diseases involving mtPTP, such as the treatment of multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, insulin-induced hypoglycemia, cerebral ischemia, brain damage from epilepsy or experimental trauma, Bethlem myopathy, pancreatitis, hepatitis, diabetic retinopathy, muscular dystrophy, heart infarction, and stroke. The present technology is also generally applicable toward the treatment of disorders governed at least in part by an over-accumulation of reactive oxygen species and/or [Ca2+] dysregulation.
Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) channel plays a significant role in a variety of human diseases states where common pathology is based upon mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) is a high-conductance channel of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) mediating Ca2+ release and affected by voltage, pH and, cyclosporin A (CsA), and activated by an accumulation of mitochondrial Ca2+ and oxidative stress.
Although robust assays for the activity of the mtPTP have been established, the identification of small molecule inhibitors has been unexpectedly slow.
There remains a need for compounds which are effective inhibitors of the mtPTP. Compounds that prevent mtPTP opening are useful in treating and preventing cellular damage, [Ca2+] dysregulation, and/or the reactive oxygen species associated with oxidative stress-related disorders.
Herein are disclosed small molecule inhibitors of mtPTP activation. These compounds are “fit-for-purpose” and are useful for therapeutically challenging human diseases, such as, multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophies, pancreatitis, type II diabetes, heart infarction, and stroke.
The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mtPTP) is a voltage-dependent, high-conductance channel of the inner mitochondrial membrane activated by mitochondrial accumulation of Ca2+. Normal activity of the mtPTP is defined by transient opening of the channel while persistent opening caused by sustained overloads in both mitochondrial and cellular Ca2+ ultimately resulting in cell death and numerous conditions of disease. Effectively generating successful therapies for mtPTP-based pathologies has been fairly limited. Early pharmacological agents targeting the mtPTP have been restricted to agents which affect the regulatory component, cyclophilin D.
The inventors diligent studies have found results consistent with the formation of Ca2+-dependent conformational changes of dimers of F-ATP synthase as the basis for mtPTP opening. These dimers are highly entropically favored through formation of disulfide bonds. Further, the inventors found that F-ATP synthase switches from a Mg2+-dependent system synthesizing ATP into a Ca2+-dependent pore (the mtPTP) which decreases the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) transmembrane potential. Decrease in IMM potential has been observed to stimulate the opening of the mtPTP. Accordingly, without being bound by theory, the inventors contemplate inhibitors of the Ca2+-dependent F-ATP synthase “mtPTP” dimer induce an inhibition of pore opening. Thus, the compounds disclosed herein also treat cellular damage precipitated by [Ca2+] dysregulation and/or the reactive oxygen species associated with oxidative stress-related disorders.

Both racemic and diastereomeric mixtures, as well as the individual optical isomers can be isolated or synthesized so as to be substantially free of their enantiomeric or diastereomeric partners, and these stereoisomers are all within the scope of the present technology.
The compounds of the present technology may exist as solvates, especially hydrates. Hydrates may form during manufacture of the compounds or compositions comprising the compounds, or hydrates may form over time due to the hygroscopic nature of the compounds. Compounds of the present technology may exist as organic solvates as well, including DMF, ether, and alcohol solvates among others. The identification and preparation of any particular solvate is within the skill of the ordinary artisan of synthetic organic or medicinal chemistry.
“Tautomers” refer to alternate forms of a compound that differ in the position of a proton, such as enol-keto and imine-enamine tautomers, or the tautomeric forms of heteroaryl groups containing a ring atom attached to both a ring —NH— moiety and a ring ═N— moiety such as pyrazoles, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles.
“Treating” or “treatment” of a disease in a patient refers to 1) preventing the disease from occurring in a patient that is predisposed or does not yet display symptoms of the disease; 2) inhibiting the disease or arresting its development; or 3) ameliorating or causing regression of the disease.
Unless indicated otherwise, the nomenclature of substituents that are not explicitly defined herein are arrived at by naming the terminal portion of the functionality followed by the adjacent functionality toward the point of attachment. For example, the substituent “alkoxycarbonylalkyl” refers to the group (alkoxy)-C(O)-(alkyl)-.
It is understood that in all substituted groups defined above, polymers arrived at by defining substituents with further substituents to themselves (e.g., substituted aryl having a substituted aryl group as a substituent which is itself substituted with a substituted aryl group, etc.) are not intended for inclusion herein. In such cases, the maximum number of such substituents is three. That is to say that each of the above definitions is constrained by a limitation that, for example, substituted aryl groups are limited to -substituted aryl-(substituted aryl)-substituted aryl.
It is understood that the above definitions are not intended to include impermissible substitution patterns (e.g., methyl substituted with 5 fluoro groups). Such impermissible substitution patterns are well known to the skilled artisan.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds described herein are within the scope of the present technology and include acid or base addition salts which retain the desired pharmacological activity and is not biologically undesirable (e.g., the salt is not unduly toxic, allergenic, or irritating, and is bioavailable). When the compound of the present technology has a basic group, such as, for example, an amino group, pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be formed with inorganic acids (such as hydrochloric acid, hydroboric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and phosphoric acid), organic acids (e.g. alginate, formic acid, acetic acid, benzoic acid, gluconic acid, fumaric acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, maleic acid, citric acid, succinic acid, malic acid, methanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, naphthalene sulfonic acid, and p-toluenesulfonic acid) or acidic amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid). When the compound of the present technology has an acidic group, such as for example, a carboxylic acid group, it can form salts with metals, such as alkali and earth alkali metals (e.g. Na+, Li+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Zn2+), ammonia or organic amines (e.g. dicyclohexylamine, trimethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine, picoline, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine) or basic amino acids (e.g. arginine, lysine and ornithine). Such salts can be prepared in situ during isolation and purification of the compounds or by separately reacting the purified compound in its free base or free acid form with a suitable acid or base, respectively, and isolating the salt thus formed.
The present technology is directed to compounds, compositions, and methods of using said compounds as inhibiting the mtPTP. The compounds of the present technology are useful in treating a variety of disorders, such as those mediated at least in part by [Ca2+] dysregulation and/or the accumulation of by a reactive oxygen species.

In some embodiments, the present technology is a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more compounds disclosed herein and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The pharmaceutical compositions of any embodiment herein may be formulated for oral, parenteral, nasal, or topical administration. In any embodiment herein, the pharmaceutical composition may include an effective amount of a compound of any embodiment of the present technology. The compound of the present technology may be present in an amount effective for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, ischemic reperfusion injury, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, insulin-induced hypoglycemia, cerebral ischemia, brain damage from epilepsy or experimental trauma, Bethlem myopathy, pancreatitis, hepatitis (type A, and/or B, and/or C), type II diabetes, diabetic retinopathy, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, heart infarction, and/or stroke.
“Treating” within the context of the instant technology, means alleviation, in whole or in part, of symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or slowing, inhibition or halting of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevention or prophylaxis of the disease or disorder in a subject at risk for developing the disease or disorder.
As used herein, an “effective amount” of a compound of the present technology refers to an amount of the compound that alleviates, in whole or in part, symptoms associated with a disorder or disease, or slows or halts of further progression or worsening of those symptoms, or prevents or provides prophylaxis for the disease or disorder in a subject at risk for developing the disease or disorder. Those skilled in the art are readily able to determine an effective amount. For example, one way of assessing an effective amount for a particular disease state is by simply administering a compound of the present technology to a patient in increasing amounts until progression of the disease state is decreased or stopped.
The instant compositions can be formulated for various routes of administration, for example, by oral, parenteral, topical, injection, rectal, nasal, or via implanted reservoir. Parenteral or systemic administration includes, but is not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraperitoneally, intramuscular, intrathecal, intracranial, and intracerebroventricular injections. The following dosage forms are given by way of example and should not be construed as limiting the instant technology.
For oral, buccal, and sublingual administration, powders, suspensions, granules, tablets, pills, capsules, gelcaps, and caplets are acceptable as solid dosage forms. These can be prepared, for example, by mixing one or more compounds disclosed herein, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomers thereof, with at least one additive such as a starch or other additive. Suitable additives are sucrose, lactose, cellulose sugar, mannitol, maltitol, dextran, starch, agar, alginates, chitins, chitosans, pectins, tragacanth gum, gum arabic, gelatins, collagens, casein, albumin, synthetic or semi-synthetic polymers or glycerides. Optionally, oral dosage forms can contain other ingredients to aid in administration, such as an inactive diluent, or lubricants such as magnesium stearate, or preservatives such as paraben or sorbic acid, or anti-oxidants such as ascorbic acid, tocopherol or cysteine, a disintegrating agent, binders, thickeners, buffers, sweeteners, flavoring agents or perfuming agents. Tablets and pills may be further treated with suitable coating materials known in the art.
Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may be in the form of pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, syrups, elixirs, suspensions, and solutions, which may contain an inactive diluent, such as water. Pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be prepared as liquid suspensions or solutions using a sterile liquid, such as, but not limited to, an oil, water, an alcohol, and combinations of these. Pharmaceutically suitable surfactants, suspending agents, emulsifying agents, may be added for oral or parenteral administration.
As noted above, suspensions may include oils. Such oils include, but are not limited to, peanut oil, sesame oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil and olive oil. Suspension preparation may also contain esters of fatty acids such as ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, fatty acid glycerides and acetylated fatty acid glycerides. Suspension formulations may include alcohols, such as, but not limited to, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, glycerol and propylene glycol. Ethers, such as but not limited to, poly(ethyleneglycol), petroleum hydrocarbons such as mineral oil and petrolatum; and water may also be used in suspension formulations.
Injectable dosage forms generally include aqueous suspensions or oil suspensions, which may be prepared using a suitable dispersant or wetting agent and a suspending agent. Injectable forms may be in solution phase or in the form of a suspension, which is prepared with a solvent or diluent. Acceptable solvents or vehicles include sterilized water, Ringer's solution, or an isotonic aqueous saline solution. Alternatively, sterile oils may be employed as solvents or suspending agents. Typically, the oil or fatty acid is non-volatile, including natural or synthetic oils, fatty acids, mono-, di- or tri-glycerides.
For injection, the pharmaceutical formulation and/or medicament may be a powder suitable for reconstitution with an appropriate solution as described above. Examples of these include, but are not limited to, freeze dried, rotary dried or spray dried powders, amorphous powders, granules, precipitates, or particulates. For injection, the formulations may optionally contain stabilizers, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these.
Dosage units for rectal administration may be prepared in the form of suppositories which may contain the composition of matter in a mixture with a neutral fat base, or they may be prepared in the form of gelatin-rectal capsules which contain the active substance in a mixture with a vegetable oil or paraffin oil.
Compounds of the present technology may be administered to the lungs by inhalation through the nose or mouth. Suitable pharmaceutical formulations for inhalation include solutions, sprays, dry powders, or aerosols containing any appropriate solvents and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. Formulations for inhalation administration contain as excipients, for example, lactose, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate and deoxycholate. Aqueous and nonaqueous aerosols are typically used for delivery of inventive compounds by inhalation.
Ordinarily, an aqueous aerosol is made by formulating an aqueous solution or suspension of the compound together with conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and stabilizers. The carriers and stabilizers vary with the requirements of the particular compound, but typically include nonionic surfactants (Tweens, Pluronics, or polyethylene glycol), innocuous proteins such as serum albumin, sorbitan esters, oleic acid, lecithin, amino acids such as glycine, buffers, salts, sugars or sugar alcohols. Aerosols generally are prepared from isotonic solutions. A nonaqueous suspension (e.g., in a fluorocarbon propellant) can also be used to deliver compounds of the present technology.
Aerosols containing compounds for use according to the present technology are conveniently delivered using an inhaler, atomizer, pressurized pack or a nebulizer and a suitable propellant, e.g., without limitation, pressurized dichlorodifluoromethane, trichlorofluoromethane, dichlorotetrafluoroethane, nitrogen, air, or carbon dioxide. In the case of a pressurized aerosol, the dosage unit may be controlled by providing a valve to deliver a metered amount. Capsules and cartridges of, for example, gelatin for use in an inhaler or insufflator may be formulated containing a powder mix of the compound and a suitable powder base such as lactose or starch. Delivery of aerosols of the present technology using sonic nebulizers is advantageous because nebulizers minimize exposure of the agent to shear, which can result in degradation of the compound.
For nasal administration, the pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be a spray, nasal drops or aerosol containing an appropriate solvent(s) and optionally other compounds such as, but not limited to, stabilizers, antimicrobial agents, antioxidants, pH modifiers, surfactants, bioavailability modifiers and combinations of these. For administration in the form of nasal drops, the compounds may be formulated in oily solutions or as a gel. For administration of nasal aerosol, any suitable propellant may be used including compressed air, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, or a hydrocarbon based low boiling solvent.
Besides those representative dosage forms described above, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and carriers are generally known to those skilled in the art and are thus included in the instant present technology. Such excipients and carriers are described, for example, in “Remingtons Pharmaceutical Sciences” Mack Pub. Co., New Jersey (1991), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The formulations of the present technology may be designed to be short-acting, fast-releasing, long-acting, and sustained-releasing as described below. Thus, the pharmaceutical formulations may also be formulated for controlled release or for slow release.
The instant compositions may also comprise, for example, micelles or liposomes, or some other encapsulated form, or may be administered in an extended release form to provide a prolonged storage and/or delivery effect. Therefore, the pharmaceutical formulations and medicaments may be compressed into pellets or cylinders and implanted intramuscularly or subcutaneously as depot injections or as implants such as stents. Such implants may employ known inert materials such as silicones and biodegradable polymers.
Specific dosages may be adjusted depending on conditions of disease, the age, body weight, general health conditions, sex, and diet of the subject, dose intervals, administration routes, excretion rate, and combinations of drugs. Any of the above dosage forms containing effective amounts are well within the bounds of routine experimentation and therefore, well within the scope of the instant technology.
A therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the present technology may vary depending upon the route of administration and dosage form. Effective amounts of such compounds typically fall in the range of about 0.01 up to about 100 mg/kg/day, or about 0.05 to about 50 mg/kg/day, and more typically in the range of about 0.1 up to 5 mg/kg/day. Typically, the compound or compounds of the instant technology are selected to provide a formulation that exhibits a high therapeutic index. The therapeutic index is the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects and can be expressed as the ratio between LD50 and ED50. The LD50 is the dose lethal to 50% of the population and the ED50 is the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population. The LD50 and ED50 are determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in animal cell cultures or experimental animals.

For example, the compounds of the present technology are particularly useful in treating neurodegenerative disorders such as Huntington's disease and other polyglutamine disorders, ischemic reperfusion injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, insulin-induced hypoglycemia, cerebral ischemia, brain damage from epilepsy or experimental trauma, Bethlem myopathy, pancreatitis, hepatitis, diabetic retinopathy, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, type II diabetes, heart infarction, stroke, high-pressure neurological syndrome, dystonia, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, consequences of stroke, cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, multi-infarct dementia, consequences of cerebral trauma or damage, damage to the spinal cord, AIDS-dementia complex, viral or bacterial meningitis, general central nervous system (CNS) infections such as viral, bacterial or parasites, for example, poliomyelitis, Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi infection) and malaria, cancers with cerebral localization, Tourette's syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, systemic lupus, analgesia and opiate withdrawal symptoms, feeding behavior, schizophrenia, chronic anxiety, depressive disorders, disorders of the developing or aged brain, diseases of addiction, all peripheral indications such as diabetes, and complications thereof.
Compounds of the present technology are shown or contemplated to have improved safety and potency, such as the potency of inhibiting mtPTP at low nanomolar concentrations. In some embodiments, the compounds have little or no neuroleptic activity.
The amount of active compound administered will vary depending upon the disease treated, the mammalian species, and the particular mode of administration, etc. Suitable doses for the compounds of the present technology can be, for example, between 0.1 mg to about 1000 mg, between 1 mg to about 500 mg, between 1 mg to about 300 mg, or between 1 mg to about 100 mg per day. Such doses can be administered once a day or more than once a day, for example 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 times a day, but preferably 1 or 2 times per day. In some embodiments, the total dosage for a 70 kg adult is in the range of 0.001 to about 15 mg per kg weight of subject per administration or 0.01 to about 1.5 mg per kg weight of subject per administration, and such therapy can extend for a number of days, a number of weeks or months, and in some cases, years. It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend on a variety of factors including the activity of the specific compound employed; the age, body weight, general health, sex and diet of the individual being treated; the time and route of administration; the rate of excretion; other drugs that have previously been administered; and the severity of the particular disease undergoing therapy, as is well understood by those of skill in the area.
The compounds of the present technology may be prepared from readily available starting materials using the following general methods and procedures. It will be appreciated that where typical or preferred process conditions (i.e., reaction temperatures, times, mole ratios of reactants, solvents, pressures, etc.) are given, other process conditions can also be used unless otherwise stated. Optimum reaction conditions may vary with the particular reactants or solvent used, but such conditions can be determined by one skilled in the art by routine optimization procedures.
Additionally, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art, conventional protecting groups may be necessary to prevent certain functional groups from undergoing undesired reactions. Suitable protecting groups for various functional groups as well as suitable conditions for protecting and deprotecting particular functional groups are well known in the art. For example, numerous protecting groups are described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley, New York, 1999, and references cited therein.
If the compounds of the present technology contain one or more chiral centers, such compounds can be prepared or isolated as pure stereoisomers, i.e., as individual enantiomers or diastereomers, or as stereoisomer-enriched mixtures. All such stereoisomers (and enriched mixtures) are included within the scope of the present technology, unless otherwise indicated. Pure stereoisomers (or enriched mixtures) may be prepared using, for example, optically active starting materials or stereoselective reagents well-known in the art. Alternatively, racemic mixtures of such compounds can be separated using, for example, chiral column chromatography, chiral resolving agents and the like.
The starting materials for the following reactions are generally known compounds or can be prepared by known procedures or obvious modifications thereof. For example, many of the starting materials are available from commercial suppliers such as Aldrich Chemical Co. (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA), Bachem (Torrance, California, USA), Emka-Chemce or Sigma (St. Louis, Missouri, USA). Others may be prepared by procedures, or obvious modifications thereof, described in standard reference texts such as Fieser and Fieser's Reagents for Organic Synthesis, Volumes 1-15 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), Rodd's Chemistry of Carbon Compounds, Volumes 1-5, and Supplementals (Elsevier Science Publishers, 1989), Organic Reactions, Volumes 1-40 (John Wiley, and Sons, 1991), March's Advanced Organic Chemistry, (John Wiley, and Sons, 5th Edition, 2001), and Larock's Comprehensive Organic Transformations (VCH Publishers Inc., 1989).
In one general embodiment, the method involves reacting an appropriate aniline starting material with an electrophilic partner such as a carboxylic acid or the corresponding acyl halide in order to make a benzamide or benzene sulfonamide. It is appreciated that the nucleophilic component of the aniline preferentially adds to the carbonyl of the electrophilic component. Additionally, isoxazoline compounds are made by cyclization after condensing an appropriate diketo-compound with hydroxyl amine. The isolated adduct can then be further functionalized.
In another general embodiment, the method involves reacting an appropriately functionalized aniline or diketo-compound, as synthesized from above, with a partner. It is further appreciated that the partner selectively reacts at one functional group of the aniline or diketo-compound. Thus, the partner should not be added under any reaction conditions that might react with any other functionality.
For example, the compounds of general Formula I, II, IIa, III, IV, and/or V can be prepared according to representative Scheme 1:
Amino, keto, thio, hydroxyl, and any other necessary protecting groups and their methods of deprotection are known in the art, such as those described in T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protecting Groups in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition, Wiley, New York, 1999. When Prt is hydrogen, the deprotection step can be omitted.
The present technology provides compounds possessing mtPTP inhibitory activity and, accordingly, are useful in treating disorders mediated by (or at least in part by) [Ca2+] dysregulation and/or the accumulation of by a reactive oxygen species. Such diseases include, for example, Huntington's disease and other polyglutamine disorders, ischemic reperfusion injury, multiple sclerosis, amyotropic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, insulin-induced hypoglycaemia, cerebral ischemia, brain damage from epilepsy or experimental trauma, Bethlem myopathy, pancreatitis, hepatitis, diabetic retinopathy, muscular dystrophy, traumatic brain injury, type II diabetes, heart infarction, stroke, high-pressure neurological syndrome, dystonia, olivopontocerebellar atrophy, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, consequences of stroke, cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, multi-infarct dementia, consequences of cerebral trauma or damage, damage to the spinal cord, AIDS-dementia complex, viral or bacterial meningitis, general central nervous system (CNS) infections such as viral, bacterial or parasites, for example, poliomyelitis, Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi infection) and malaria, cancers with cerebral localization, Tourette's syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, systemic lupus, analgesia and opiate withdrawal symptoms, feeding behaviour, schizophrenia, chronic anxiety, depressive disorders, disorders of the developing or aged brain, diabetes, and complications thereof.
In general, the compounds of the present technology will be administered in a therapeutically effective amount by any of the accepted modes of administration for agents that serve similar utilities. The actual amount of the compound of the present technology, i.e., the active ingredient, will depend upon numerous factors such as the severity of the disease to be treated, the age and relative health of the subject, the potency of the compound used, the route and form of administration, and other factors well known to the skilled artisan. The drug can be administered at least once a day, preferably once or twice a day.
An effective amount of such agents can readily be determined by routine experimentation, as can the most effective and convenient route of administration, and the most appropriate formulation. Various formulations and drug delivery systems are available in the art. See, e.g., Gennaro, A. R., ed. (1995) Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th ed., Mack Publishing Co.
A therapeutically effective dose can be estimated initially using a variety of techniques well-known in the art. Initial doses used in animal studies may be based on effective concentrations established in cell culture assays. Dosage ranges appropriate for human subjects can be determined, for example, using data obtained from animal studies and cell culture assays.
An effective amount or a therapeutically effective amount or dose of an agent, e.g., a compound of the present technology, refers to that amount of the agent or compound that results in amelioration of symptoms or a prolongation of survival in a subject. Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such molecules can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g., by determining the LD50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population). The dose ratio of toxic to therapeutic effects is therapeutic index, which can be expressed as the ratio LD50/ED50. Agents that exhibit high therapeutic indices are preferred.
The effective amount or therapeutically effective amount is the amount of the compound or pharmaceutical composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. Dosages particularly fall within a range of circulating concentrations that includes the ED50 with little or no toxicity. Dosages may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and/or the route of administration utilized. The exact formulation, route of administration, dosage, and dosage interval should be chosen according to methods known in the art, in view of the specifics of a subject's condition.
Dosage amount and interval may be adjusted individually to provide plasma levels of the active moiety that are sufficient to achieve the desired effects; i.e., the minimal effective concentration (MEC). The MEC will vary for each compound but can be estimated from, for example, in vitro data and animal experiments. Dosages necessary to achieve the MEC will depend on individual characteristics and route of administration. In cases of local administration or selective uptake, the effective local concentration of the drug may not be related to plasma concentration.
The amount of agent or composition administered may be dependent on a variety of factors, including the sex, age, and weight of the subject being treated, the severity of the affliction, the manner of administration, and the judgment of the prescribing physician.
The present technology is not limited to any particular composition or pharmaceutical carrier, as such may vary. In general, compounds of the present technology will be administered as pharmaceutical compositions by any one of the following routes: oral, systemic (e.g., transdermal, intranasal or by suppository), or parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, intravenous or subcutaneous) administration. The preferred manner of administration is oral using a convenient daily dosage regimen that can be adjusted according to the degree of affliction. Compositions can take the form of tablets, pills, capsules, semisolids, powders, sustained release formulations, solutions, suspensions, elixirs, aerosols, or any other appropriate compositions. Another preferred manner for administering compounds of the present technology is inhalation.
The choice of formulation depends on various factors such as the mode of drug administration and bioavailability of the drug substance. For delivery via inhalation the compound can be formulated as liquid solution, suspensions, aerosol propellants or dry powder and loaded into a suitable dispenser for administration. There are several types of pharmaceutical inhalation devices-nebulizer inhalers, metered dose inhalers (MDI), and dry powder inhalers (DPI). Nebulizer devices produce a stream of high velocity air that causes therapeutic agents (which are formulated in a liquid form) to spray as a mist that is carried into the patient's respiratory tract. MDI's typically are formulation packaged with a compressed gas. Upon actuation, the device discharges a measured amount of therapeutic agent by compressed gas, thus affording a reliable method of administering a set amount of agent. DPI dispenses therapeutic agents in the form of a free flowing powder that can be dispersed in the patient's inspiratory air-stream during breathing by the device. In order to achieve a free flowing powder, therapeutic agent is formulated with an excipient such as lactose. A measured amount of therapeutic agent is stored in a capsule form and is dispensed with each actuation.
Pharmaceutical dosage forms of a compound of the present technology may be manufactured by any of the methods well-known in the art, such as, for example, by conventional mixing, sieving, dissolving, melting, granulating, dragée-making, tableting, suspending, extruding, spray-drying, levigating, emulsifying, (nano/micro-) encapsulating, entrapping, or lyophilization processes. As noted above, the compositions of the present technology can include one or more physiologically acceptable inactive ingredients that facilitate processing of active molecules into preparations for pharmaceutical use.
Pharmaceutical formulations have been developed especially for drugs that show poor bioavailability based upon the principle that bioavailability can be increased by increasing the surface area i.e., decreasing particle size. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,107,288 describes a pharmaceutical formulation having particles in the size range from 10 to 1,000 nm in which the active material is supported on a crosslinked matrix of macromolecules. U.S. Pat. No. 5,145,684 describes the production of a pharmaceutical formulation in which the drug substance is pulverized to nanoparticles (average particle size of 400 nm) in the presence of a surface modifier and then dispersed in a liquid medium to give a pharmaceutical formulation that exhibits remarkably high bioavailability.
The compositions are comprised of, in general, a compound of the present technology in combination with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Acceptable excipients are non-toxic, aid administration, and do not adversely affect therapeutic benefit of the claimed compounds. Such excipient may be any solid, liquid, semi-solid or, in the case of an aerosol composition, gaseous excipient that is generally available to one of skill in the art.
Solid pharmaceutical excipients include starch, cellulose, talc, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, sodium chloride, dried skim milk and the like. Liquid and semisolid excipients may be selected from glycerol, propylene glycol, water, ethanol and various oils, including those of petroleum, animal, vegetable or synthetic origin, e.g., peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc. Preferred liquid carriers, particularly for injectable solutions, include water, saline, aqueous dextrose, and glycols.
Compressed gases may be used to disperse a compound of the present technology in aerosol form. Gases suitable for this purpose are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. Other suitable pharmaceutical excipients and their formulations are described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, edited by E. W. Martin (Mack Publishing Company, 18th ed., 1990).
The present compositions may, if desired, be presented in a pack or dispenser device containing one or more unit dosage forms containing the active ingredient. Such a pack or device may, for example, comprise metal or plastic foil, such as a blister pack, or glass, and rubber stoppers such as in vials. The pack or dispenser device may be accompanied by instructions for administration. Compositions comprising a compound of the present technology formulated in a compatible pharmaceutical carrier may also be prepared, placed in an appropriate container, and labeled for treatment of an indicated condition.
The amount of the compound in a formulation can vary within the full range employed by those skilled in the art. Typically, the formulation will contain, on a weight percent (wt %) basis, from about 0.01-99.99 wt % of a compound of the present technology based on the total formulation, with the balance being one or more suitable pharmaceutical excipients. Preferably, the compound is present at a level of about 1-80 wt %. Representative pharmaceutical formulations are described below.

General Experimental Details:
Purity of all final compounds was confirmed by HPLC/MS analysis and determined to be ≥90%. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker AM 400 spectrometer (operating at 400 and 101 MHz respectively) or a Bruker AVIII spectrometer (operating at 500 and 126 MHz respectively) in CDCl3 (residual internal standard CHCl3=δ 7.26), DMSO-d6 (residual internal standard CD3SOCD2H=δ 2.50), or acetone-d6 (residual internal standard CD3COCD2H=δ 2.05). The chemical shifts (δ) reported are given in parts per million (ppm) and the coupling constants (J) are in Hertz (Hz). The spin multiplicities are reported as s=singlet, bs=broad singlet, bm=broad multiplet=doublet, t=triplet, q=quartet, p=pentuplet, dd=doublet of doublet, ddd=doublet of doublet of doublet, dt=doublet of triplet, td=triplet of doublet, tt=triplet of triplet, and m=multiplet.
HPLC/MS analysis was carried out with gradient elution (5% CH3CN to 100% CH3CN) on an Agilent 1200 RRLC with a photodiode array UV detector and an Agilent 6224 TOF mass spectrometer (also used to produce high resolution mass spectra). Automated preparative RP HPLC purification was carried out by Mass Directed Fractionation with gradient elution (a narrow CH3CN gradient was chosen based on the retention time of the target from LCMS analysis of the crude sample) on an Agilent 1200 instrument with photodiode array detector, an Agilent 6120 quadrupole mass spectrometer, and a HTPAL LEAP autosampler. Fractions were triggered using an MS and UV threshold determined by HPLC/MS analysis of the crude sample. One of two column/mobile phase conditions were chosen for both analysis and purification to promote the targets neutral state: 0.02% formic acid with Waters Atlantis T3 5 um, 19×150 mm (Prep scale), Waters Atlantis T3 1.7 um, 2.1×50 mm (Analytical Scale); pH 9.8 NH4OH with Waters XBridge C18 5 um, 19×150 mm (Prep scale), Waters BEH C-18 1.7 um, 2.1×50 mm (Analytical Scale). Medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC) was performed on a Teledyne Icso CombiFlash Rf purification system using gradient elution through standard RediSep Rf columns. Microwave irradiated reactions were carried out using a Biotage Initiator Classic synthesizer.

Aqueous and Thiol Stability: Compound was dissolved at 10 μM in 1:1 ACN:PBS and incubated at room temperature with either no thiol source as a negative control, 50 μM glutathione (GSH), or 50 μM dithiothreitol (DTT). The mixtures were sampled every hour for eight hours or every 8 hours for 88 hours and analyzed by RP HPLC/UV/HRMS. The analytical RP HPLCUV/HRMS system utilized for the analysis was a Waters Acquity system with UV-detection and mass-detection (Waters SQD). The analytical method conditions included a Waters Acquity HSS Atlantis C18 column (2.1×50 mm, 1.8 um) and elution with a linear gradient of 99% water to 100% CH3CN at 0.6 mL/min flow rate. Peaks on the 214 nm chromatographs were integrated using the Waters OpenLynx software. Absolute areas under the curve were compared at each time point to determine relative percent compound remaining. The masses of potential adducts were searched for in the final samples to determine if any detectable adduct formed. All samples were prepared in duplicate and the average plotted. Ethacrynic acid, a known Michael acceptor, was used as a positive control.
Plasma Stability: Stability of the compound in human plasma (BioChemed Services, P/N 752PR-EK3-PMG) was determined. All liquid dispense and transfer steps were performed with the Freedom Evo automated liquid handler (Tecan US). Plasma was allowed to thaw at room temperature prior to preparing the assay solution of plasma:1×PBS (1:1). The assay solution was warmed up at 37° C. prior of adding the compound. Immediately after compounds were added, time 0 min aliquots were promptly collected and mixed with cold acetonitrile (spiked with an internal standard). The remainder of the reaction volume was incubated at 37° C. with shaking. Additional aliquots were collected 180 min after the start of the reaction and promptly quenched with cold acetonitrile (spiked with an internal standard). Samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. The amount of compound in the supernatant was determined by LC/MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, Sciex API4000 Q-Trap) and the percent of parent compound remaining after 180 min was calculated by the following formula:
Results reported are the mean of each reaction duplicate, normalized to the internal standard, and expressed as a percent of compound remaining after the incubation time.

Hepatic Microsome Stability: Metabolic stability was assessed in the presence of human liver microsomes (XenoTech, P/N H0630) and mouse liver microsomes (XenoTech, P/N M1000). All liquid dispense and transfer steps were performed with the Freedom Evo automated liquid handler (Tecan US). NADPH, a required cofactor for CYP450 metabolism, was provided by the NADPH Regenerating System, Solutions A (BD Biosciences, P/N 451220) and B (BD Biosciences, P/N 451200). Compound stock solutions were initially prepared in 100% DMSO and subsequently diluted in acetonitrile for the assay. The pH of the reactions was kept at ˜7.4 with potassium phosphate buffer (BD Biosciences, P/N 451201). The reactions were started after adding NADPH to the reaction plate containing microsomes and compounds and time 0 min aliquots were promptly collected and mixed with ice cold acetonitrile (spiked with internal standards) to quench the reactions. The remainder of the reaction volume was incubated at 37° C. with shaking. Additional aliquots were collected 60 min after the start of the reaction and promptly quenched with ice cold acetonitrile (spiked with an internal standard). Samples were centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 min. The amount of compound in the supernatant was determined by LC/MS/MS (Applied Biosystems, Sciex API4000 Q-Trap) and the percent of parent compound remaining after 60 min was calculated by the following formula:
All reactions were run in triplicate, except negative controls (no NADPH) which were performed as single reactions. Results reported are the mean of each reaction triplicate, normalized to the internal standard, and expressed as a percent compound remaining after the incubation time.
Assay Details:
Cellular Permeability: Permeability was assessed using the Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay, PAMPA in a 96-well format. All liquid dispense and transfer steps were performed with the Freedom Evo automated liquid handler (Tecan US). Measurements were performed in 20% ACN and aqueous buffer solution (System Solution, pION Inc, P/N 110151) at pH 5.0, 6.2, and 7.4, in duplicate. A “sandwich” plate (pION Inc, P/N 110212) consisting of a donor bottom plate and an acceptor filter plate was used. The donor wells contained the compounds in 180 μl system solution, and magnetic stir bars. The filter on the bottom of each acceptor well was coated with GIT-0 lipid (pION Inc, P/N 110669) and filled with 200 μl of Acceptor Sink Buffer, pH 7.4 (pION Inc, P/N 110139) containing a surfactant to mimic the function of serum proteins. The permeation time was 30 min and moderate stirring (equivalent to 40 μm Aqueous Boundary Layer thickness) was applied using the Gut-Box™ (pION, Inc, P/N 110205). After the permeation time, the sandwich was disassembled and the amount of compound present in both the donor and acceptor wells was measured by UV absorbance (250-498 nm) using the Infinite M200 (Tecan US) and compared to spectra obtained from reference standards. Mass balance was used to determine the amount of material embedded in the membrane filter. The effective permeability, Pe, was calculated using the software PAMPA Evolution Plus, version 3.2 (pION Inc).
Assay Details:
Membrane Permeability through the blood-brain barrier: Permeability was assessed using an in vitro model for the passive transport through the blood-brain barrier, BBB-PAMPA. For this, the Parallel Artificial Membrane Permeability Assay (PAMPA) in a 96-well format was used. All liquid dispense and transfer steps were performed with the Freedom Evo automated liquid handler (Tecan US). Measurements were performed in an aqueous buffer solution (System Solution, pION Inc, P/N 110151) at pH 7.4, in quadruplicate. A “sandwich” plate (pION Inc, P/N 110212) consisting of a donor bottom plate and an acceptor filter plate was used. The donor wells contain the compounds in 180 μl system solution, and magnetic stir bars. The filter on the bottom of each acceptor well is coated with BBB-1 lipid solution (pION Inc, P/N 110672) and filled with 200 μl of Brain Sink Buffer, pH 7.4 (pION Inc, P/N 110674) also containing a surfactant. The permeation time is 60 min. Moderate stirring (equivalent to 40 μm Aqueous Boundary Layer thickness) is applied using the Gut-Box™ (pION, Inc, P/N 110205). After the permeation time, the sandwich is disassembled and the amount of compound present in both the donor and acceptor wells is measured by UV absorbance (250-498 nm) using the Infinite M200 (Tecan US) and compared to spectra obtained from reference standards. Mass balance is used to determine the amount of material embedded in the membrane filter. The effective permeability, Pe, is calculated using the software PAMPA Evolution Plus, version 3.2 (pION Inc). The calculated effective permeability, Pe, is expressed as a kinetic parameter (centimeter per second). A larger number indicates greater speed and thus greater permeability. Log Pe is often used to report permeability, and is inversely proportional to Pe; thus the smaller Log Pe value indicates greater permeability.
Assay Details:
Plasma Protein Binding: Teflon® Base Plate wells were rinsed with 20% ethanol for 10 minutes. Ethanol was then removed and wells were rinsed with ultrapure water and allowed to dry. RED Inserts from Thermo Scientific (Pierce) were placed (open end up) into the wells of the base plate. All liquid dispense and transfer steps were performed with the Freedom Evo automated liquid handler (Tecan US). The sample chambers (red ring) contained 300 μl of a mixture of plasma and compound. And 500 μl of dialysis buffer (1× PBS, pH7.4) were added to the buffer chambers of the inserts. Duplicate inserts were made for each concentration tested. The base plate was covered with sealing tape and incubated at 37° C. on an orbital shaker at 300 rpm for 4 hours. After the incubation time, equal volume from both chambers were removed and transferred to a 96 well plate containing either plasma or buffer. To precipitate proteins and release compounds, ice cold acetonitrile (with an internal standard) was added. Samples were centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 rpm.

Effects of Compounds of the Present Technology on Defects Present in Exon 9 col6a1 Morphant Zebrafish.
Zebrafish and embryo maintenance. Adult zebrafish were maintained in the facility of the University of Padova containing aerated, 28.5° C.-conditioned saline water according to standard protocols. Fish were kept under a 14 h light-10 h dark cycle. For mating, males and females were separated in the late afternoon, and were freed to start courtship the next morning, which ended with egg deposition and fecundation. Eggs were collected, washed with fish water (0.5 mM NaH2PO4, 0.5 mM NaHPO4, 0.2 mg/L methylene blue, 3 mg/L instant ocean) and embryos were maintained at 28.5° C. All protocols and manipulations with zebrafish were performed as described in C. B. Kimmel, W. W. Ballard, S. R. Kimmel, B. Ullmann, T. F. Schilling, Dev. Dyn. 1995, 203, 253-310.
Morpholino injections. To reproduce the dominant negative UCMD or BM phenotype in zebrafish, we used an exon9 morpholino which targets exon 9 of the zebrafish col6a1 gene, as described in W. R. Telfer, A. S. Busta, C. G. Bonnemann, E. L. Feldman, J. J. Dowling, Hum. Mol. Genet. 2010, 19, 2433-2444 and A. Zulian, E. Rizzo, M. Schiavone, E. Palma, F. Tagliavini, B. Blaauw, L. Merlini, N. M. Maraldi, P. Sabatelli, P. Braghetta, P. Bonaldo, F. Argenton, P. Bernardi, Hum. Mol. Genet. 2014, 23, 5353-5363. Exon 9, col6a1: GAG AGC GGA AGA CGA ACC TTC ATTC (GeneTools, Inc.). A control morpholino, with no sequence homology in zebrafish genome was used. Embryos isolated after paired matings of wild-type zebrafish were injected at 1-2 cell stage using a WPI pneumatic PicoPump PV820 injector. Morpholino was injected at a concentration of 0.1 mM, corresponding to ˜4 ng per embryo.
Compound treatment. Morphant embryos were dechorionated at 20 hpf and then treated with compound 60 (referred to as KSC-392-116 above) at 21 hpf, where compound 60 is illustrated below.
Untreated morphants and wild-type embryos were used as controls. Compound 60 was used at 5 and 10 μM and dissolved in fish water with 1% DMSO. Vehicle control treatment consisted of fish water with 1% DMSO. Analyses of compound effects on embryos were performed as described at 24 and 48 hpf.
Motor activity. Spontaneous coiling rates were recorded by observing the number of coiling events in 15 s for single embryos at 24 hpf using light microscopy. Touch-evoked escape response was measured at 48 hpf by observing the ability of larvae to escape after touching the body with a little tip. Embryos were subdivided into four groups according to their ability to escape: paralyzed with no ability to move, showing coiling events only, embryos with minor motor impairments, or normal embryos swimming in the fish water; these were assigned a score of 0, 1, 2, or 3, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed on mean scores at each experimental condition.
Birefringence assay. Muscle birefringence was measured at 48 hpf on tricaine-anesthetized embryos by taking advantage of muscle fiber anisotropy. It was measured using two polarizing filters on a Leica M165FC stereomicroscope. Briefly, anesthetized embryos were placed on a glass slide, and muscle light refraction was analyzed by using two polarizing filters. The first filter produces the polarized light to illuminate the sample, and the second polarizing filter, called the analyzer, calculates the angle of light refracted from muscle fibers. In particular, the top polarizing filter was twisted at a 90° angle until the light refracting through the muscle was visible through a stereomicroscope. Integrated area of birefringence was calculated by using ImageJ software, as disclosed in J. Berger, T. Sztal, P. D. Currie, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 2012, 423, 785-788. Birefringence values≥2×106 (typical of wild-type individuals) were rated as normal, values between 1.9×106 and 0.6×106 were considered as an indication of mild disease, and values≤0.6×106 were rated as an indication of severe myopathy. Statistical analysis was performed on the mean birefringence values at each experimental condition.
Statistical analysis. Differences between control and compound treated samples were determined by one-way ANOVA test with Bonferroni correction using GraphPad Prism (version 5.1 for Windows). Data represent the mean of at least five independent experiments (n=52 for each condition). SEM; **p<0.01, ***p<0.001 for
As reflected in
To assess structural muscle organization, muscle birefringence was evaluated at 48 hpf. This technique evaluates muscle structural defects in zebrafish models of muscular dystrophy. Muscle birefringence was analyzed by taking advantage of muscle fiber anisotropy. As can be seen in
Mouse Model Assays of mtPTP-Dependent Muscular Dystrophy Illustrative of Therapeutic Effects of Compounds of the Present Technology.
A severe genetic human muscle disorder linked to collagen VI deficiency, resulting in persistent mtPTP opening, can be effectively mimicked in mice through genetic elimination of orthologous collagen VI genes. Importantly, in both humans and mice, defects could be reversed by treatment with Cyclosporin A (CsA) and with CsA derivatives that inhibit Cyclophilin D (CyPD), and hence the mtPTP. Here, following pharmacokinetic studies in mice, mouse models of these dystrophies will be used illustrate the therapeutic effects of compounds of the present technology.
Background: Anchoring and adhesion complexes at the surface of cells link the cytoskeleton to the surrounding extracellular matrix, thus maintaining cell integrity and cell signal transduction. These anchoring structures have a critical role in tissues undergoing extensive mechanical stress, like the skeletal muscle. Thus, it comes as no surprise that genetic defects in these anchoring complexes cause certain human muscular dystrophies. As one example, collagen VI (ColVI) is an essential component of the myofiber extracellular matrix, and mutations in ColVI result in two main human diseases, Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and Bethlem myopathy (BM)1,2. UCMD is a severe muscular dystrophy and segregates as a recessive disorder1,3. BM is a milder myopathy and, in contrast, is usually linked to a dominant mutation that generates pathology through dominant-negative mechanisms4,5. Mice generated by knock-out of the murine Col6a1 gene6 are known models of UCMD7. Homozygous recessive animals display phenotypes that closely mimic defects observed in UCMD patients7,8. For example, in both humans and mice, muscle fibers have swollen/dilated mitochondria that lose their normal proton gradient following stimuli, something that does not affect mitochondria in normal fibers. These mitochondrial dysfunctions are indicative of defects originating from inappropriate mtPTP activation7,9. Consistent with this, inhibition of the mtPTP, either pharmacologically in humans and mice (CsA and non-immunosuppressive derivatives like Debio025 or NIM811)10-13, or elimination of the mouse gene encoding CyPD14, has been shown to improve mitochondrial changes and reduce myofiber cell death.
Test in mouse models of a mtPTP-dependent muscular dystrophy: Compounds of the present technology will be tested by IP injection of vehicle in addition to a variety of concentrations (e.g., 5 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg, etc.) of compounds of the present technology. In general, the techniques and analysis to be used will follow those outlined in earlier studies that showed that IP injections of CsA, and non-immunosuppressive derivatives of CsA (e.g., NIM811 and Debio025) are able to effectively counter the muscular defects present in these mutant animals10,11. In each case, mice will receive two daily doses of inhibitor or vehicle for up to 5 days. In each assay, differences between control WT, ColVI-null and ColVI-null mice treated with each derivative will be recorded. In all cases, data will be generated from at least 4 animals, expressed as mean±s.e.m, and analyzed with the unpaired Students t-test.
Rescue of muscle contractile strength by compounds of the present technology: Assessed will be tetanic (maximal), twitch tension, and relaxation time in muscle strips [specifically, the diaphragm and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB)] of the mice outlined above (N≥15). Typically, loss of ColVI results in dramatic loss of contractile strength (measured as mN/mm2) compared to WT controls. Accordingly, it is expected that treatment with compounds of the present technology will restore contractile strength significantly when compared to ColVI-null mice, or restore muscle strength completely. Briefly, strips (width 1-2 mm) will be prepared, and mounted between a force transducer and a micromanipulator-controlled shaft in oxygenated Krebs solution at 25° C. The length of the strips will then be increased until force development during tetanus is maximal. The responses to a single stimulus (twitch) or to trains of stimuli at a variety of rates producing unfused or fused tetani will then be recorded. Cross-sectional area will be calculated from the weight.
Effects of compounds of the present technology on mitochondrial dysfunction in ColVI-null muscle fibers: Initial assessment of mtPTP function in treated ColVI-null animals will be by the CRC assay used to identify and characterize compounds of the present technology. Five hours after the last injection, mitochondria will be prepared from liver and muscle homogenates and the CRC of mitochondrial preparations assessed fluorometrically by application of trains of Ca2+ pulses in the presence of Calcium Green 5N. The threshold for mtPTP activation will be determined based on the number of pulses required for mtPTP opening and compared statistically by assessment of the CRC/CRCmax. It is expected that, as with animals treated with Debio025, the threshold for mtPTP opening in ColVI-null liver and muscle mitochondria treated with compounds of the present technology will be increased relative to control, vehicle-injected, ColVI-null animals11. In order to assess the efficacy of compounds of the present technology in the treatment of ColVI-null animals, the mitochondrial transmembrane potential (ΔΨm) will be determined in situ based on the mitochondrial fluorescence of tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM), a probe that accumulates in polarized mitochondria and is released when the transmembrane potential decreases. Addition of oligomycin, an inhibitor of F-ATP synthase, to FDB fibers from ColVI-null animals results in a dramatic decrease of TMRM mitochondrial fluorescence while, in contrast, fibers prepared from WT animals should show no immediate change in TMRM fluorescence. It has been shown that the mitochondrial dysfunction unmasked by oligomycin in ColVI-null muscle fibers has its basis in inappropriate activation of the mtPTP7. This anomalous depolarizing response in ColVI-null fibers has been shown to be due to F-ATP synthase operating in reverse and, as expected for a mtPTP-based phenotype, be corrected by treatment with CsA or CsA derivatives7,8,10,11. Consequently, rescue by compounds of the present technology of this muscle mitochondrial defect in ColVI-null fibers will be assessed. Briefly, FDB myofibers will be plated on glass coverslips, cultured as described in the art, mitochondria loaded by incubation with 20 nM TMRM and the response of control WT and ColVI-null fibers to application of oligomycin (6 μM) in the presence of vehicle or inhibitor recorded. The percentage of fibers (from at least 6 mice) depolarizing on the addition of oligomycin will be pooled and statistical significance determined. It is expected that treatment with compounds of the present technology will normalize the depolarization on application of oligomycin in the vast majority of ColVI-null fibers.
Effects of compounds of the present technology on mitochondrial ultrastructural defects and muscle cell apoptosis—Electron microscopic analysis has demonstrated that mitochondria in myofibers from ColVI-null animals display significant swelling, a typical feature of mtPTP opening, when compared to mitochondria in WT myofibers as well as an increase in the level of apoptosis (as assessed by the number of apoptotic nuclei). The effects of treatments with compounds of the present technology will be observed on both these mtPTP responses as described in the art7,8,10,11. FDB fibers from control WT, ColVI-null and treated ColVI-null mice will be fixed with glutaraldehyde and embedded in Epon E812 resin. Ultrathin sections will be prepared, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, and observed by electron microscopy. It is expected that the percentage of fibers with altered mitochondrial structure (swollen mitochondria with disorganized cristae; average from at least three mice and 300 individual sections) will be significantly attenuated in ColVI-null animals treated with compounds of the present technology. Similarly, the number of apoptotic nuclei will be determined by TUNEL assay in 7 uM thick sections prepared from the diaphragm of vehicle-treated WT, ColVI-null and ColVI-null mice treated with compounds of the present technology. The total number of TUNEL-positive nuclei will be determined by commercially available kits (e.g., ApoTag) in randomly selected fibers and the number of total nuclei will be determined following staining with Hoechst staining by light-level microscopy.
Effect of Compounds of the Present Technology on Myocardial Function and Response to Reperfusion Injury.
In this example, the ability of compounds of the present technology to prevent ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury will be assessed.
Modified Langendorff Model
The Langendorff rodent heart model is widely employed in studies of myocardial function and responses to injury (e.g. ischaemia). For whole-heart studies, male Sprague-Dawley rats (7-9 weeks old) will be injected with pentobarbital (35 m/kg, ip injection) and hearts excised with midline thoracotomy. The aortas will be secured around a cannula of a modified Langendorff apparatus and retrogradely perfused (perfusion pressure of 75 mm Hg) with a modified Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing (in mM): 118 NaCl, 24 NaHCO3, 4.75 KCl, 1.2 KH2PO4, 1.2 MgSO4, 2.0 CaCl2), and 10 glucose (gassed with 95/5% O2/CO2). Hearts will be bathed in a buffer-filled perfusion chamber maintained at 37° C. for the duration of the experiments. Following the initiation of perfusion, hearts will be instrumented for the simultaneous observation of mechanical and electrical function. A buffer-filled latex balloon (size 5, Harvard Apparatus, Holliston, MA, USA), calibrated at the beginning of each day using a digital manometer, will be inserted into the left ventricle (via the mitral valve) for the measurement of left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), with balloon volume adjusted to establish a diastolic pressure of 5-8 mm Hg. Three electrodes will be placed into the buffer filled perfusion chamber for the measurement of the volume-conducted electrocardiogram (ECG). Coronary flow rates will be monitored constantly with a flow probe (Transconic Systems, Ithaca, NY, USA) connected in series with the perfusion line, and normalized to heart wet weight (in grams) at the end of each experiment. All physiological parameters will be continuously monitored and stored on a personal computer using commercially available software (e.g., Chart, AD Instruments, Colorado Springs, CO, USA). Heart rate will be calculated using the LVDP trace, and maximal rates of contraction and relaxation (±dP/dt) will be calculated using the derivative of the LVDP trace.
Ischemia Reperfusion Protocol and Compound Treatments
Following a 10 minute baseline period, ischemia/reperfusion will be initiated. Hearts will be exposed to global no-flow ischemia by stopping perfusion for 20 min. At the end of the index ischemia, static buffer from the perfusion lines will be washed out (via an accessory port proximal to the aortic cannula), and reperfusion will be ensued for 2 h either with Krebs buffer alone (control) or Krebs buffer containing a predetermined concentration of the compound of the present technology. At the end of reperfusion, the left ventricle will be dissected, sliced into 5 mm-thick slices, incubated in 1% triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) for 10 min (37° C.) and digitally photographed for subsequent infarct size analysis. Infarct size will be expressed as a percentage of the left ventricle (% area at risk (AAR))(calculated using ImageJ software, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).
The results are expected to show that treatment with a compound of the present technology significantly decrease infarct size and LVDP, and/or increases the maximal rates of contraction and relaxation (±dP/dt). Thus, the results are expected to show that compounds of the present technology are useful to prevent or treat ischemia/reperfusion injury of the heart in a subject in need thereof.
