Embodiment 1

[0478] Example 1: Inhibition of BCAT2 and BCAT1 in vitro

[0479] This example evaluates a compound of the disclosure, a BCAT2 inhibitor compound of formula (I), as follows:

[0480]

[0481] Whether it is possible to inhibit the levels of the downstream metabolite propionylcarnitine (which was found to be elevated in propionylcarnitine patients), by analyzing the dose response from propionylcarnitine patients treated with the compounds of the present disclosure Propionylcarnitine levels in the conditioned medium of human fibroblasts.

[0482] Primary human fibroblasts from patients with propionic acidemia (Coriell #GM00371) were plated at 10,000 cells / well in complete medium (EMEM, 15% FBS) in 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C, 5%CO 2 Incubate overnight. Compounds were initially serially diluted in DMSO and then diluted into serum-free EMEM medium. Cells were then washed with D-PBS before addition of media containing diluted compounds and then incubated at 37 °C, ...

Embodiment 2

[0496] Example 2: Inhibition of BCAT2 in vivo

[0497] This example evaluates the pharmacodynamics associated with acute and repeated treatment with the BCAT2 inhibitor compounds shown below:

[0498]

[0499] Chemicals

[0500] Branched-chain aminotransferase 2 (BCAT2) inhibitor compounds were synthesized according to Example 3.

[0501] Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), branched-chain amino acid L-cysteine, L-histidine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-lysine, L-methylsulfide Glycine, L-phenylalanine, L-threonine, L-tryptophan, L-tyrosine, and L-valine were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). All other reagents were obtained from common sources and were reagent grade or better.

[0502] animal

[0503] Male C57 black / 6J mice (6-7 weeks, Jackson Laboratories, Bar Harbor, ME) were used for all in vivo experiments. Animals were maintained in a temperature and humidity controlled room on a 12 h light / dark reverse cycle with free access to food and water. An...

Embodiment 3

[0516] Example 3: In vitro 3-HIB assay

[0517] Cell Plating: Cells (Coriell Institute GM00371 cells) were plated (96 wells) at 10,000 cells / 0.1 mL of Eagle's Minimal Essential Medium (EMEM) / 15% FBS (Gibco 16000-044) in a cell culture hood using a Combi dispenser clear-bottom sterile plates; Greiner 655098), and store at 37°C and 5% CO 2 Incubate overnight.

[0518] Compound Dilutions: Compounds were prepared as 33.3X intermediate dilutions in DMSO in 96-well circular polystyrene plates. For a final maximum of 30 µM, start with 30 µL of a 10 mM DMSO solution. 10-12 1:3 serial dilutions were prepared from left to right (20 μL + 40 μL DMSO). Prepare a 10X second dilution in EMEM by taking 7.5 μL of 33.3X and transferring to a duplicate 96-well circular polystyrene plate, then adding 242.5 μL of EMEM. A 1X final dilution in EMEM was prepared by taking 50 μL of the 10X dilution and transferring to a duplicate 96-well polypropylene assay plate (Costar 3956) and adding 450 μL ...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates, in part, to the treatment of organic hemicemia in an individual in need thereof by administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that inhibits BCAT2. The present disclosure also relates, in part, to methods for identifying candidate compounds for the treatment of organic hemicemia.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions useful for targeting branched-chain amino acid transaminases (BCATs) to treat genetic disorders of amino acid metabolism. Background technique [0002] Branched-chain organic aciduria and / or organic acidemia is a group of disorders caused by abnormalities of specific enzymes involved in the catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) - leucine, isoleucine and valine. Organic acidemias are a rare disease subgroup affecting approximately 150,000 patients worldwide. Patients with organic acidemia have excessive production of metabolites in the mitochondria, which leads to toxic accumulation of substrate molecules. Some toxic molecules negatively affect normal metabolic pathways through allosteric inhibition of key enzymes. Effects on cellular metabolism lead to neurodevelopmental and dysplastic conditions and, if left untreated, possibly death. Maple diabetes mellitus (MSUD), isovaleric ac...
