[0003] The present application provides an inhibitor of STMN2 transcripts containing cryptic exons (STMN2). N2 antisense oligonucleotide sequences), and for treating neurological diseases This relates to the method. [Background technology]
[0004] Motor neuron disease affects motor neurons (neurons that control voluntary muscle movements via the brain). Motor neuron diseases are a class of neurological disorders that cause degeneration and death of the nervous system. It can be either autosomal or hereditary, and can also be caused by upper motor neuron and / or lower motor neuron Motor neuron diseases include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Gynecologic bulbar palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, primary lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, and Post-polio syndrome is one example.
[0005] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) affects approximately 15,000 people in the United States. ALS is a group of motor neuron diseases that affect the upper and lower motor neurons. It is characterized by loss of control of voluntary muscles and death. Death is accompanied by muscle spasms and atrophy. Early symptoms of ALS include painful muscle spasms, muscle cramps, muscle weakness, and weakness (e.g., affecting the arms, legs, neck, or diaphragm), slurred nasal voice, and difficulty chewing Difficulty chewing or swallowing; Motor difficulties, such as those required for speaking, eating, and breathing Loss of strength and control eventually occurs. Disease progression may include weight loss, malnutrition, Anxiety and depression may accompany the condition, and pneumonia, painful muscle spasms, neuropathy, and possibly Most individuals diagnosed with ALS experience an increased risk of dementia when symptoms first appear. Death from respiratory failure occurs within five years of receiving treatment. There is no treatment.
[0006] ALS occurs in individuals of any age, but is most prevalent in individuals aged 55-75. ALS is also common, with a slightly higher incidence in men. ALS can occur as either sporadic or familial. Sporadic ALS appears to occur randomly and the total number of cases of ALS Familial ALS accounts for over 90% of cases. Familial ALS accounts for 5-10% of all cases of ALS.
[0007] FTD is caused by the loss of neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. FTD refers to a spectrum of progressive neurodegenerative disorders that can cause behavioral and personality changes, FTD is characterized by behavioral and language impairments. vFTD), semantic primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), and non-fluent primary progressive aphasia ALS with FTD may be associated with ALS symptoms such as muscle weakness. along with decreased speech, atrophy, fasciculations, spasticity, muteness (dysarthria), and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). Individuals with FTD may die within 5-10 years. While ALS with FTD is usually fatal, it can occur within 2-3 years after disease symptoms first appear. often causing death.
[0008] Like ALS, there is no known cure for FTD or ALS with FTD. There are no known treatments that can prevent or slow the progression of the disease.
[0009] Therefore, neurological diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease, Plexus injury, peripheral nerve injury, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), head injury, spinal cord injury, cortical base Basilar degeneration (CBD), etc., and / or neuropathy, e.g., chemotherapy-induced neuropathy The goal is to identify compounds that can prevent, ameliorate, and treat diseases such as rheumatoid arthropathy. There is an urgent need.
[0010] Transactive response DNA-binding protein 43, an RNA-binding protein (TDP-43) is a fundamental RNAi protein involved in RNA transcription, splicing, and transport. TDP-43 is involved in the A processing activity of TDP-43 itself through binding to the 3' untranslated region. It regulates thousands of pre-messenger RNA / mRNA targets, including autoregulation of mRNAs in G It binds with high affinity to U-rich sequences. Decreased DP-43 levels led to the depletion of over 1,500 RNAs, including long intron-containing transcripts. Altered splicing or expression levels of . Melamed et al., Nat Neurosci. (2019) , 22(2):180-190.
[0011] In affected neurons, in most cases of ALS and in patients with FTD, Cytoplasmic accumulation of TDP-43 and nuclear attrition have been reported in approximately 45% of cases. See Lamed et al., Nat Neurosci. (2019), 22(2):180-190. In addition, TDP- 43 has been shown to regulate the expression of the neuronal outgrowth-related factor stathmin 2. See Melamed (2019); see also Klim et al., Nat Neurosci. (2019), 22(2):167-179 TDP-43 disruption results in a premature (p) transcriptional disruption in intron 1 of stathmin 2 pre-mRNA. remature) polyadenylation and aberrant splicing are promoted, resulting in the formation of mRNA Truncation and loss of functional STMN2 protein have been shown to occur. See Melamed (2019). STMN2 is required for normal motor neuron proliferation and repair. Encodes essential proteins. See Melamed (2019); see also Klim (2019).
[0012] The stathmin 2 gene contains five constitutive exons (Refseq ID: NM_0011 99214.1) and the proposed alternative exons between exons 4 and 5. See Melamed (2019); see also Klim (2019). TDP-4 Loss or mutation of 3 induces a novel spliced exon, This exon maps within intron 1. See Melamed (2019); Klim (2019 See also: This novel exon (referred to as "exon 2a" or "cryptic exon") ) occurs when TDP-43 is depleted or when endogenous TDP-43 has the N352 mutation. It appears in the STMN2 pre-mRNA when the nucleosomes are ligated to the STMN2 domain. See Melamed (2019); Klim (2019) ) Cryptic exons within the STMN2 pre-mRNA are involved in the premature polyadenylation of the pre-mRNA. See Melamed (2019); Klim (20 See also 19). This prematurely polyadenylated RNA contains 227 nucleotides, and its predicted 16 amino acid translation product is located within exon 1. It starts at the normal AUG codon and extends 11 codons into the cryptic exon See Melamed (2019); see also Klim (2019).

A nucleoside further contains a phosphate group covalently linked to the pentofuranosyl sugar moiety. In the case of nucleosides, the phosphate group is attached to the 2', 3', or 5' hydroxyl moiety of the sugar. Oligonucleotides are those in which adjacent nucleosides are covalently linked to each other. The oligonucleotide is formed by forming a linear polymer oligonucleotide. In the nucleotide structure, the phosphate groups form the internucleoside linkages of the oligonucleotide. It is commonly cited as
