Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] Cognitive impairment, movement disorders, chronic pain, depression, loss of appetite, addiction, seizures and convulsions, and other Compositions comprising the fatty acid analogs are provided for treating conditions, including cognitive disorders. , movement disorders, chronic pain, depression, loss of appetite, addiction, seizures, convulsions and other conditions Methods for monitoring are also provided. [Background technology]
[0002] Cognition is the mental act or process of gaining knowledge and understanding through thought, experience, and sensation. Cognitive impairment (also known as cognitive decline) is a neurodegenerative condition (e.g., Brain damage due to trauma (such as in Alzheimer's disease), brain damage due to injury, infection, or substances Abuse, substance withdrawal, psychosis, vitamin and other important nutrient deficiencies, hormonal problems, Cognitive impairment can be caused by a cognitive imbalance or a side effect of medication. Cognitive impairment can also occur as a process. This may be related to cognitive impairment and confusion, due in large part to the increasing number of elderly people worldwide. Novel therapies are urgently needed to prevent, manage and treat intellectual disability.
[0003] Movement disorders are neurological conditions that cause problems with movement. Examples include dystonia, chorea, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and parkinsonism. , tics, Tourette's syndrome, ataxia, tremor, essential tremor, myoclonus, polyphasic Sclerosis, startle syndrome, restless legs syndrome, stiff person syndrome, gait disorders and Movement disorders can be caused by damage to the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves, metabolic disorders, stroke and It can be caused by vascular disease, toxins, infections, medications and genetics.
[0004] Chronic pain is defined as any pain that lasts for more than 12 weeks and may persist for months or years. Causes of chronic pain include past injuries, back pain, migraines and other headaches, and arthritis. Chronic pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, including: rheumatoid arthritis, ... It may result in or be accompanied by sleep disturbances, loss of appetite and mood changes. Formula changes may help manage chronic pain, but there are many other medications that may be prescribed to help manage this condition. Herbal treatment is often necessary. Opiates are the most effective for pain. Some prescription drug treatments are addictive, contributing to the prevalence of drug addiction and its resulting Therefore, new, non-addictive, and effective pain management treatments are needed. are.
[0005] Depression is a mood disorder that affects the way an individual feels, thinks, and cope with daily activities. The forms of depression include persistent depressive disorder (dysthymia), postpartum depression, and psychotic depression. These include depression, seasonal affective disorder, bipolar disorder, severe mood dysregulation disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. The causes of depression include genetic, biological, environmental and psychological factors. Depression occurs alongside chronic illnesses such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and Parkinson's disease. Chronic pain can be a persistent, painful condition that can be exacerbated by chronic illness. or moods of anxiety, hopelessness, irritability, lack of energy, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, difficulty sleeping, changes in appetite This can lead to weight gain, weight changes, pain, headaches and digestive problems. Although it can often be treated with change and medication, the best way to target both depression and the associated chronic illness is to New, more targeted treatments are needed.
[0006] Loss of appetite is common to many chronic, life-threatening illnesses, and lack of proper nutrition can contribute to the progression of these conditions. This cycle of chronic illness and loss of appetite can have detrimental effects on the health and well-being of the individual. This can lead to a vicious cycle. Anorexia is the absence or loss of appetite, which results in Loss of appetite. This can be common in advanced cancer. Weight loss can result from loss of appetite. Cachexia is a state of general poor health and malnutrition that results in a loss of fat, muscle, and Characterized by weakness and thinness due to bone loss, it is associated with advanced cancer, AIDS, and congestive heart failure. It can occur with other severe symptoms, including loss of appetite. An estimated 80% of cancer patients have cachexia. Causes of dysgeusia / cachexia syndrome include metabolic changes, chronic inflammation, pain, dysgeusia, and loss of taste. , hypersomnia, swallowing problems, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, drug side effects, psychological distress changes associated with aging and life-threatening chronic diseases, such as oral or esophageal infections Current treatments for anorexia and cachexia include steroids, cannabis, and These treatments include benzodiazepines and prokinetic drugs. However, these treatments are associated with anorexia and They do not treat the underlying chronic conditions that are the primary cause of tremors and cachexia.
[0007] A spasm is a condition in which the muscles of the body contract and relax rapidly, resulting in uncontrollable contractions. Convulsions can occur during seizures, drug reactions, severe infections, sepsis, hyperthermia, and severe Vomiting and / or diarrhea, acute onset of diabetes (extremely high or low blood sugar levels), hydration Abnormalities (severe dehydration or overhydration), severe malnutrition, excess fluids due to trauma or internal bleeding Excessive blood loss, organ failure (e.g., acute renal failure), allergic reactions, drug overdose, drug withdrawal or may be caused by heat stroke. Epileptic seizures usually involve convulsions, hence the term "Convulsion" is sometimes used as a synonym for "seizure." However, not all seizures Not all epileptic seizures lead to convulsions, and not all convulsions are caused by epileptic seizures. Non-epileptic seizures are similar to epileptic seizures but are caused by abnormalities in cortical neurons. They are paroxysmal events without normal rhythmic discharges. They may be physiological or psychological. Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) are seizures that resemble epileptic seizures. These are events that occur without the characteristic discharges associated with epilepsy. PNES is a type of non-epileptic seizure mimic caused by a non-epileptic seizure disorder ( Also known as Neuro-Abnormalities and Functional Neurological Disorders (NEAD), but less well known not present.
[0008] Opioids bind to opiate receptors in the cell membrane of neurons and exert their analgesic effects. These are controlled substances that provide pain relief and control pain, including morphine, codeine, These include fentanyl, methadone, and buprenorphine. Opiate addiction is becoming an epidemic. This has led to an increase in opioid overdose deaths, including 49,000 deaths in the United States in 2017. Opiate withdrawal is a leading cause of death in Americans under 50. Symptoms are severe and include muscle aches, pain, agitation, anxiety, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, frequent Symptoms include palpitations, rhinorrhea, and chills (Wesson DR, Ling W. The Cli nical Opiate Withdrawal Scale(COWS)J Psy (Vocative Drugs. 2003;35:253-259). The severity of the condition makes it difficult for individuals to stop using opioids, leading to opioid withdrawal. Novel approaches to attenuate symptom reduction and novel non-addictive medications to control pain are needed. It is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0028] Increased dietary intake of the odd-chain saturated fatty acid heptadecanoic acid significantly alters the metabolic status of bottlenose dolphins. was associated with an improvement in the syndrome (Venn-Watson et al. d dietary intake of saturated fatty acids heptadecanoic acid(C17:0)associated wit h decreasing ferritin and alleviated met abolic syndrome in dolphins,(2016)PLOS O NE 10(7):e0132117). Therefore, modified odd-chain saturated fats Oral administration of niacin has been shown to reduce the risk of multiple conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and depression. The study could be useful in treating metabolic syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of chronic diseases in people with diabetes. do.
[0029] Certain lipid compounds are disclosed in WO2017 / 093732 as being useful in treating retinal degenerative disorders and These lipids have been proposed for the treatment of ophthalmic disorders such as inflammatory diseases of the eye. The substance is an unsaturated fatty acid derivative (e.g., an alkyl group containing 1 to 5 double bonds). Arson et al., in Lipids, Vol. 40, No. 1 (2005), Alpha- and alpha-glycoproteins of various fatty acids, including saturated fatty acids (palmitic acid, i.e., C16:0) Demonstrated increased PPAR-alpha and PPAR-gamma activity through methylation However, these derivatives were not effective as PPARδ activators. In contrast, C15:0 is a part of PPAR delta. It is a partial agonist of PPAR-delta and its derivatives have improved EC50 and / or It has been observed that the highest concentrations are often observed at or above the threshold.
[0030] Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) regulate mammalian metabolism. PPARs are known to inhibit the growth of the thyroid gland and are therefore therapeutic targets for many diseases. There are three isotypes: alpha, delta, and gamma. The molecules that bind and activate each type differently are involved in inflammation, dyslipidemia, prediabetes, and diabetes. Diabetes, fatty liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and insulin resistance It has been demonstrated to treat various symptoms associated with metabolic syndrome. The scientist is a specialist in the treatment of autoimmune diseases, asthma, anemia, cancer, cardiovascular disease, dermatitis, hypertension, and pulmonary diseases (pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis), psoriasis, iron overload, and Alzheimer's disease and It has been proposed as a therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases, including other forms of dementia. Acids have a specific action on the PPAR isoforms PPAR-alpha and PPAR-delta. It is believed that PPARs are endogenous ligands, and structural features such as carbon chain length are important for the PPAR It has been hypothesized that this may affect anti-inflammatory activity (Forman BM, Chen J, Eva ns RM (1997) Hypolipidemic drugs, polyunsat urated fatty acids,and eicosanoids are l igands for peroxisome proliferator-activ ated receptors α and δ.Proc Natl Acad Sc i 94:4312-4317).
[0031] Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) and heptadecanoic acid in attenuating components of the metabolic syndrome The proven effectiveness of citric acid (C17:0) is the inhibition of PPAR-alpha and PPAR-delta It can be hypothesized that this may be due in part to their role as agonists. The association with PPARs is described in the following references: Aleshin S et al. l.(2013)Peroxisome proliferator-activate d receptor(PPAR)β / δ,a possible nexus of PPARα-and PPARγ-dependent molecular path ways in neurodegenerative diseases:revie w and novel hypotheses.Neurochem Int 63: 322-330;Barish GD et al.(2006)PPARδ:a da gger in the heart of metabolic syndrome.

[0032] Modified saturated fatty acids improve hydrophilic binding in the AF2 pocket of Arm-II. Therefore, certain analogs of fatty acids may provide improved performance compared to natural fatty acid forms. By improving the PPAR agonist activity, Thus, saturated fatty acid analogs, such as the compounds provided herein, have the potential to provide a wide range of fatty acid analogs compared to naturally occurring fatty acids. It is hypothesized that these compounds may be more effective in treating metabolic syndrome and its components. can.
[0033] Thus, the compounds described above, for example compounds of formula (I), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, The salts or metabolites thereof may advantageously activate PPARs.
[0034] Cannabinoid receptors are endocannabinoids, phytocannabinoids, and syncannabinoids. It binds to endocannabinoids and affects cognition, memory, mood, movement, pain sensation, appetite, and skin G protein-coupled receptors mediate cannabinoid-induced health-related effects Therefore, cannabinoid receptors are therapeutic targets for a number of diseases. There are two subtypes of cannabinoid receptors: cannabinoid receptor 1 (CNR1) or CB1 receptor) and cannabinoid receptor 2 (CNR2 or CB1 receptors are found in the brain and spinal cord. Sceptor is the primary target of cannabinoids, glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid It exerts its primary action by inhibiting neurotransmission mediated by CB Molecules that bind differently to the 1 receptor may be involved in chronic pain, depression, and loss of appetite (anorexia and dysphoria). It has been demonstrated to treat a variety of conditions related to inflammatory bowel disease (including urinary tract infections) and inflammation. B1 receptor agonists have been proposed as therapeutic targets for cognitive and motor impairments. Dietary fatty acids are known to have effects that can target both CB1 receptors and PPAR-α. It can affect the tissue levels of endocannabinoids. The combined CB1 receptor / PPAR-α agonist activity provides synergistic anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and and orexigenic (appetite-stimulating) effects. It has been hypothesized that this may affect the direct or precursor role of cannabinoids ( Artman A, Petersen G, Hellgren LI, Boberg J ,Skonberg C,Nellermann C,Honore Hansen S ,Hansen HS(2008)Influence of dietary fat ty acids on endocannabinoid and N-acylet hanolamine levels in the rat brain,liver and small intestine.BBA Mol Cell Biol L (See IPIDs 1781:200-212).
[0035] Opioid receptors are receptors for endogenous opioids such as beta-endorphin and enkephalin. It is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds to opioids and exogenous opioids. There are three subtypes of steroid receptors: mu (OPRM1), delta (OPRD), OPRM1 is a receptor for morphine, codeine, and kappa (OPRK1). It is the most common target of opioids, including benzodiazepines and fentanyl. The primary treatment for overdose is naloxone, a potent OPRM1 antagonist; Loxone cannot be used as a long-term solution to aid in the opioid withdrawal process. Opioid addiction induced by short-acting OPRM1 agonists with high risk of side effects To help treat people with addiction, methadone, a full agonist, and partial agonists are available. Long-acting OPRM1 agonists, including the anti-inflammatory drug buprenorphine, are currently in use. However, these treatments also cause dangerous decreases in breathing and heart rate, This can lead to overdose and death. Endocannabinoids and opioids are linked. There is extensive crosstalk between these systems, and cannabinoids may play a role in preventing opioid addiction. CB1 receptor agonists have been shown to attenuate opioid withdrawal symptoms, It has been proposed as a means of treating drug addiction, including idiopathic drug addiction (Scavone JL, Sterling RC, Bockstaele EJ (2013) Cannab inoid and opioid interactions: implicati ons for opiate dependence and withdrawal (See Neurosci 248:637-654).

It may result in or be accompanied by sleep disturbances, loss of appetite and mood changes. Formula changes may help manage chronic pain, but there are many other medications that may be prescribed to help manage this condition. Herbal treatment is often necessary. Opiates are the most effective for pain. Some prescription drug treatments are addictive, contributing to the prevalence of drug addiction and its resulting Therefore, new, non-addictive, and effective pain management treatments are needed. CB1 receptor agonists are promising, non-addictive drugs for pain control. It has appeared as a drug (Talwar R, Kumar Potluri V (2011) C annabinoid 1(CB1)receptor-pharmacology,r ole in pain and recent developments in e merging CB1 agonists.CNS and Neurol Dis- (See Drug Targets 10:536-544.)

Medications for treating depression include fluoxetine or other SSRIs or oranthraquinone. Zapin is one example.
[0156] Loss of appetite is common to many chronic, life-threatening illnesses, and lack of proper nutrition can contribute to chronic conditions. This cycle of chronic illness and loss of appetite can be detrimental to the health and well-being of the individual. Anorexia is the absence or loss of appetite, resulting in an inability to eat. This can be common in advanced cancer. Cachexia is a state of general poor health and malnutrition in which fat, muscle, and bone are lost. It is characterized by weakness and emaciation due to loss of muscle mass and is commonly seen in advanced cancer, AIDS, congestive heart failure, and chronic It can occur with severe conditions such as anorexia nervosa. An estimated 80% of cancer patients Causes of anorexia / cachexia syndrome include cancer, AIDS, heart disease, and metabolic disorders. changes, chronic inflammation, pain, dysgeusia, loss of taste, hypersomnia, dysphagia, difficulty breathing, nausea, vomiting Vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, drug side effects, psychological distress, anorexia nervosa, and oral or esophageal irritation These changes include those associated with chronic, life-threatening illnesses, such as infections. Current treatments for fluid dyscrasia include steroids, cannabinoids, and prokinetic drugs. However, these treatments are the main cause of anorexia and cachexia. They do not help treat underlying chronic conditions. Cannabinoids increase appetite and have long-lasting effects. It is known that CB1 receptor agonists are effective in people suffering from anorexia or cachexia. It can be used to increase food intake and weight gain in mice (Kirkham TC ( 2009)Cannabinoids and appetite:Food crav ing and food pleasure.Int Rev Psychiatry 21:163-171).

[0158] In some embodiments, the compositions and methods provided herein are useful for treating addiction. Indicated for the placement, prophylaxis, prevention or control of
[0159] Opioids bind to opiate receptors in the cell membrane of neurons and exert their analgesic effects. These are controlled substances that provide pain relief and control pain, including morphine, codeine, These include fentanyl, methadone, and buprenorphine. Opiate addiction is becoming an epidemic. This has led to an increase in opioid overdose deaths, including 49,000 deaths in the United States in 2017. Opiate withdrawal is a leading cause of death in Americans under 50. Symptoms are severe and include muscle aches, pain, agitation, anxiety, nausea, gastrointestinal upset, frequent Symptoms include palpitations, rhinorrhea, and chills (Wesson DR, Ling W. The Cli nical Opiate Withdrawal Scale(COWS)J Psy (Vocative Drugs. 2003;35:253-259). Due to the severity of the condition, individuals may find it difficult to stop using opioids and may develop opioid withdrawal symptoms. Novel approaches to attenuate symptoms, as well as novel non-addictive medications to control pain, are urgently needed. opioids, including heroin, morphine, codeine, and fentanyl, It targets the mu opioid receptor (OPRM1) and acts as an OPRM1 antagonist. Drugs, primarily naloxone, are used as acute emergency treatment for opioid overdose. There is extensive crosstalk between cannabinoid and opioid-related systems, It has been demonstrated that opioids attenuate withdrawal symptoms from opioid addiction, so CB1 receptors Interferon agonists have been proposed as a means to treat drug addiction, including opioid addiction. (Scavone JL, Sterling RC, Bockstaele EJ (2013)Cannabinoid and opioid interaction s:implications for opiate dependence and withdrawal. Neurosci 248:637-654). OPRM1 agonists have been shown to be effective in treating opioid addiction as well as other addictions, including alcohol and cocaine. OPRM1 antagonists may also play a role in substance addiction. It has been proposed to be useful in the treatment of alcohol and cocaine addiction (Kranzler HR ,Gelernter J,O'Malley S,Hernandez-Avila CA, Kaufman D (2006) Association of the alc. ohol or other drug dependence with allel es of the μ opioid receptor gene(OPRM1). See Alcoholism Clin Exp Res 22:1359-1362 Furthermore, the pairing of a PPAR agonist and a CB1 agonist may be a novel therapeutic approach against drug addiction. It has been proposed as a new treatment (Panillo LV, Justinova Z, Go ldberg SR (2013) Inhibition of FAAH and ac tivation of PPAR:New approaches to the t reatment of cognitive dysfunction and dr ug addiction.Pharmacol Ther 138:84-102).

[0232] This study examines the efficacy of unsubstituted odd-chain saturated fatty acids in treating metabolic syndrome and related disorders. To optimize the health benefits of unsubstituted and substituted saturated fatty acids, The structure-activity relationship was compared. Fatty acids inhibit the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PP Since the AR is a natural ligand, lead compound optimization was performed using cell-based PP We started with structure-activity relationships for AR agonist activity. Specifically, in this study, three Unsubstituted saturated fatty acids (C14:0, C15:0 and C16:0) and various Substituted saturated fatty acids (2-methyl-, 2,2-dimethyl-, 1-tetrazole-, 3- Oxy-, 2-methyl-1-tetrazole-, 2-ethyl-, 2,2-diethyl- and The PPAR agonist activity of these three unsubstituted fatty acids was investigated. PPAR agonist activity of saturated fatty acids of the fatty acid type and PPAR of those with various substituents The PAR agonist activity was compared with that of PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ agonists. Agonist activity was assessed using PathHunter nuclear hormone receptor (NHR) protein phase. Interaction (Pro) Assay (DiscoverX, Freemont, California Briefly, the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line was used. The activation of PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ was measured using Enzyme Fraction (Fr) Homogeneous non-imagery using Augmented Complementation (EFC) The NHR Pro assay monitored the activity of activated full-length P PAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ proteins and one or more canonical L Steroid receptor coactivator peptide (S) with XXLL interaction motif This was based on the detection of protein-protein interactions with fusion proteins containing RCP (reversible cyclic phospholipid) domains. PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ were assayed using ProL™ from the EFC assay system. The SRCP domain is tagged with the ink construct and is then linked to an enzyme acceptor expressed in the nucleus. PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, or PPAR-γ was fused to the EA. Upon binding to GAND, it translocates to the nucleus and recruits the SRCP domain, thereby promoting complementation. This produces active β-galactosidase (β-Gal) units, which produce a chemiluminescent signal. The advantages associated with this approach include reduced compound incubation time. and direct measurement of PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ targets. Uses full-length human PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ sequences. The advantages of this approach include the ability to select novel compound classes based on their disruption of protein-protein interactions. PPAR-α, PPAR-δ, and PPAR-γ agonist dose curves were performed using unsubstituted lipids. Fatty acid type C14:0, C15:0, C16:0; C14:0, C15:0, C16:0 2-Methyl substituents; 2,2-dimethyl substituents at C14:0, C15:0, and C16:0; C 1-tetrazole substituents at C14:0 and C15:0; and C15:0 and C16 3-oxy substituents at C15:0; and 2-methyl-1-tetrazole, 2-ethoxy ethyl, 2,2-diethyl and 2-methyl-2-ethyl substituents, and PPAR-α( GW7647), PPAR-δ (L-165,041) and PPAR-γ (Troglyta Positive controls for benzodiazepines were prepared in duplicate at 10 concentrations. Data shown are those observed in the presence of control compound and vehicle, respectively. The percentage activity was calculated using the following formula: Calculation was made using: % activity = 100% x (mean RLU of test sample - vehicle control) (mean RLU of control ligand) / (mean MAX control ligand - mean vehicle control RLU).
[0233] Compared with unsubstituted saturated fatty acids, substituted saturated fatty acids have a higher PPAR agonist activity. showed improved concentrations, with a reduction in the concentration required to reach half-maximal effective concentrations for (Table 4). Various substituents are associated with different PPAR isotypes (PPAR-α, -δ and - γ), allowing for targeted agonist activity of desired PPAR isotypes. It became possible to select the compounds from the test group. The 2-methyl substituents on 6:0 inhibit PPAR-α compared with their unsubstituted fatty acid counterparts. The agonist EC50 was improved by 17%, 48%, and 62%, respectively. The 2,2-dimethyl substituents on C5:0 and C16:0 are equivalent to their unsubstituted fatty acid counterparts. 13%, 44%, and 90% improvement in PPAR-α agonist EC50 compared to 1-Tetrazole-C15:0, 3-oxa-C15:0 and 2-methyl-1- The tetrazole-C15:0 substituent has a lower PPAR-α agonist EC5 0 by 77%, 54%, and 44%, respectively. The 2-diethyl-C15:0 substituent has a lower PPARα agonist EC5 0 by 90% and 85%, respectively.
[0234] The 1-tetrazole substituents on C14:0 and C15:0 are the same as those of the unsubstituted fatty acids. Compared with the fatty acid form, the PPAR-δ agonist EC50 was improved by 63% and 81%, respectively. The 3-oxa substituents on C15:0 and C16:0 were similar to those of the unsubstituted fatty acids. Compared with the previous type, the PPAR-δ agonist EC50 was improved by 85% and 70%, respectively. 2-Methyl-1-tetrazole-C15:0 inhibits PPAR-δ receptors compared with C15:0. 2-Methyl-C16:0 and 2,2-dimethyl-C 16:0 had a PPAR-δ agonist EC50 of 11 and 16:0, respectively, compared with C16:0. 2-Ethyl-C15:0 significantly improved PPAR-δ activity compared to C15:0. Unsubstituted saturated fatty acids significantly improved PPAR-γ activity by 89%. However, 2-methyl-C14:0, 2-methyl-C15:0, and 2-methyl-C1 6:0, 2,2-dimethyl-C14:0, 2,2-dimethyl-C15:0, 2-ethyl- C15:0, 2,2-diethyl-C15:0 and 2-methyl-2-ethyl-C15:0 It has acquired PPAR-γ agonist activity. The potency of these analogs against cellular systems that mimic systems including the human immune and autoimmune systems. The activity was surprisingly high because it was not achieved at all with unsubstituted fatty acid C15:0. These analogs simply enhanced the activity of the unsubstituted fatty acid form of C15:0. as well as altering the targeted disease system.
[0235] In summary, substituted saturated fatty acids have a higher cell-based We succeeded in lowering the concentration of compounds required to exhibit PPAR agonist activity. Furthermore, different substituents are involved in the regulation of different PPAR isotypes (PPAR-α, -δ and - γ), we selected specific substituents to target specific PPAR-related diseases. It will be possible to choose.
[0236] Table 4 shows the results of selected saturating proteins when used in cell-based protein-protein interaction assays. A comparison of PPAR agonist activity between saturated fatty acids is provided. [Table 74]
[0237] Table 5 shows the half-maximal effective concentrations (EC50) of unsubstituted saturated fatty acids (FFA). A comparison of PPAR agonist activity between saturated fatty acids with and without substitution is provided. . [Table 75] Example 3
[0238] This study will evaluate potential differences between these compounds with respect to additional pharmacological targets. To investigate the structure-activity relationship between selected unsubstituted saturated fatty acids and their substituted saturated fatty acids, In particular, in this study, SAFETYscan E / IC50 ELEC T(DiscoverX / Eurofins, Fremont, California) Across 78 assays using C15:0, 2-methyl-C15:0, 2-ethyl Agonist and antagonistic activities of 1-tetrazole-C15:0 and 1-tetrazole-C15:0 Briefly, various standardized and optimized functional assays were performed. Using this, G protein-coupled receptors (ADORA2A, ADRA1A, ADRA2A, ADRB1, ADRB2, CB1, CB2, CCK1, D1, D2S, ETA, H1, H 2, M1 M2, M3, OPRD1, OPRK1, OPRM1, 5HTR1A, 5HTR 1B, 5HTR2A, 5HTR2B, AVPR1A), kinases (LCK, INSR, V EGFR2, ROCK1), transporters (DAT, NET, SERT), ion channels Channels (GABAA, 5-HT3, CA1.2, HERG, KVLQT1 / MINK, N A1.5, NMDAR1 / 2B, NACHR), nuclear receptors (AR, GR) and non Kinase enzymes (COX1, COX2, ACHE, MAO-A, PDE3A, PDE4D2 The pharmacological targets of selected compounds, including agonist activity (EC5 Ten-point concentration curves for both agonist (IC50) and antagonist activity (IC50) were performed for each compound. An internal positive control was established for each target. The maximum activity (%) was also determined based on a comparison with the CB1 receptor agonist activity. The positive control was CP55940 (EC50 = 0.06 nM). The positive control for PRM1 antagonist activity was naloxone (IC50 =5nm).
[0239] Across 78 assays, C15:0 and 2-methyl-C15:0 showed Surprisingly, 2-ethyl-C15:0 did not show any activity other than that of C15: Compared with 0, potent PPAR-α agonist activity was obtained at a lower concentration (170% It showed a significant increase in PPAR-δ agonist activity (maximal activity, EC50 = 1.2 μM) and sustained PPAR-δ agonist activity. In addition to the fact that it was obtained at a lower concentration (72.4% of the maximum activity, EC50 = 28 nM), It also added novel partial CB1 agonist activity at nanomolar concentrations (53.7% of maximum activity) , EC50=27nm). Even more surprisingly, 1-tetrazole-C15:0 exhibited While reducing the maximum activity of PPAR-α and PPAR-δ compared to 15:0 (PPAR- 32% against PPAR-α and 18% against PPAR-δ), partial CB1 agonist activity (48.3% maximal activity, IC50=1.3 μm) and partial OPRM1 antagonist Both the activity (46.2% of the maximum activity, IC50 = 3.9 μM) and the activity of the α-glucanase inhibitor ... 2 shows the target of the tested compounds, including EC / IC50 (Fig. 1) and maximum activity (Fig. 2). The agonist and antagonist activities of these compounds are compared.
[0240] This study aims to 1) alter the targeting of PPAR-α and PPAR-δ agonist activity; 2) to introduce novel targeting of CB1 agonists, and 3) to develop OPRM1 antagonists. This confirms that saturated fatty acid analogs can be used to introduce novel targeting of antagonists. Furthermore, based on these activities, it has been reported that steroids may be effective in treating cognitive impairment, movement disorders, chronic pain, depression, and loss of appetite. Alternatively, specific saturated fatty acid analogs can be selected to prevent, manage, and treat addiction. As an example, 2 is being used to treat cognitive impairment, movement disorders, chronic pain, depression, and loss of appetite. As another example, -ethyl-C15:0 may be selected to treat opioid addiction. 1-Tetrazole-C15:0 may be selected. Example 4
[0241] In this study, 3-oxa-C15:0, 2-methyl-C15:0-tetrazole and The cannabinoid receptor 1 agonist activity of diethyl-C15:0 was evaluated. Each of these three compounds was tested against a positive control (CP, a synthetic compound that mimics THC). 55940), it exhibited stronger cannabinoid receptor 1 agonism.
