[0001] Synthetic retinoids for RAR activation The present invention relates to compounds of formula I for use in the treatment of conditions or diseases alleviated by activation of the retinoic acid receptor (RAR):
Chemical Formula
[0002] More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of compounds of formula I in the treatment of conditions and / or diseases alleviated by activation of RAR, including neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and conditions such as spinal cord injury and the like. Retinoids are a class of natural or synthetic compounds that are analogs of vitamin A and its derivatives
[0003] They are a group. Retinoids are essential for many cellular activities and act as signaling molecules in embryonic development. Control of important biological pathways from adult homeostasis to proliferation, differentiation, and apex formation. It is also involved in the development of stem cells such as cysts. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is the most It is also an abundant endogenous retinoid and has been used as a model compound in retinoid research. .
[0004] Retinoids are a group of nuclear receptors known as retinoic acid receptors (RARs), that is, It acts on induced ligand-activated transcription factors that control various physiological mechanisms at the nom level. Therefore, synthetic retinoids are involved in, or potentially involved in, RAR. It has been studied as a therapeutic agent for use in various diseases and conditions. However, to date... Known compounds have drawbacks such as low potency or effectiveness, or poor solubility in water. It had poor physical properties, such as low quality.
[0005] Neurological conditions refer to the central and peripheral nervous systems, that is, the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, and nerves. These are diseases of the roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. Neurological diseases include spinal cord injury and brain Sudden conditions such as stroke, intermittent conditions such as epilepsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Al This includes neurodegenerative conditions such as Zheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, as well as stable conditions such as cerebral palsy. These neurological conditions tend to become chronic, many are life-threatening, and all are life-threatening. This has a significant negative impact on the quality of life. In total, hundreds of millions of people worldwide suffer from neurological disorders. It is presumed that the disease is affecting them (World Health Organization, May 2016).
[0006] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, involves motor neurons. It is a debilitating neurological condition characterized by the gradual loss of certain functions, resulting in paralysis. In Europe, it is estimated that there are 1.7 to 2.3 cases of ALS per 100,000 people per year [Logrosc ino et al. “Incidence of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Europe”. J Neurol Ne [urosurg. Psychiatry. (2009); 81(4):385-90], approximately 50% of patients within 30 months of symptom onset It is estimated to be fatal [Kiernan et al. "Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis". The lan cet; Vol.377(9769); (2011):942-955]. However, despite the devastating nature of this disease Currently, there is no cure, and the only drug approved in the UK for the treatment of ALS is It has been shown to extend patients' lives by an average of 2-3 months [Miller et al. "Riluzole fo r amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) / motor neuron disease (mND)".Cochrane Datab of Systematic Reviews (2012), Issue 3.CD001447].
[0007] ALS can be sporadic or familial, and the causative mutations are found in multiple genes, including C9ORF72 and SOD1. Yes. The fundamental cause of ALS is the death of motor neurons that control muscle movement, but The exact mechanism by which this occurs is currently unknown. However, (i) excitotoxicity: neurotransmission (ii) Excessive firing of nerve cells due to the toxic effects of the substance, and failure of autophagy: (iii) loss of the cellular detoxification system that removes insoluble molecules accumulated within the cell, Inflammation: When immune cells of the nervous system mistakenly attack motor nerve cells, (iv) Axonal disorder: Several of these include the loss of interconnecting fibers that are essential for intercellular communication. It is thought that the following mechanism is involved. Therefore, the drugs used in the treatment of ALS Ideally, it should exhibit multifaceted characteristics.
[0008] Therefore, it is used for neurological conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases including ALS and Alzheimer's disease. There is a pressing and unmet need for new treatments, particularly those with good solubility in water. Compounds with superior physical properties, such as properties of the material, would be useful.
[0009] Treatments to cure or prevent ALS, Alzheimer's disease, or related disorders are While this is the ultimate goal of many pharmaceutical companies' research projects, more realistically, it involves preventing the onset of disease. If there are treatments that can delay, slow down, or stop the progression of the disease, then there will be a great opportunity. This is an exhibition. Furthermore, methods for screening potential therapeutic compounds are also extremely useful. [Overview of the Initiative]

[0094] Example 2: Biological evaluation 2.1 Genomic activity of synthetic retinoids The efficiency of inducing transcription of synthetic retinoids into the genome using an X-Gal assay was measured. The evaluation was performed by the following: The X-Gal assay is linked to the retinoic acid response element (RARE). Sil-15 reporter cells in which the transcription of the LacZ gene is controlled by a linked promoter It is used. After treating reporter cells with retinoids, the β-gall produced by the reporter cells is used. By monitoring and quantifying the activity of kutosidase, the transcription-inducing ability of compounds can be obtained. can.
[0095] 100 Sil-15 cells per well were placed in a 96-well plate coated with 0.1% gelatin. They were sown in batches of 000. The next day, Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) was used. 10 serial dilutions of retinoid ligands prepared with (DMEM) -6 M to 10 -14 Add at concentration M The plates were incubated overnight. ATRA standard curves and concentrations of other retinoid ligands were measured. All tests were conducted using a 3-unit setup.
[0096] The following day, the assay plate was washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and 1% of the PBS solution was removed. Taraldehyde and 1 mM MgC l2 Use 100 μL of the solution in each well and fix for 15 minutes, then rinse twice with PBS. Washed. β-galactosidase activity was measured in PBS with 1 mM MgCl2 and 3.3 mM potassium ferrocyanide. Prepare a new 0.2% X-Gal solution by dissolving it in 3.3 mM potassium ferrocyanide, and fill one well with... Detection was performed by adding 100 μL. The plate was incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2 for 6 hours. The plate was scanned using an Emax Precision Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices) at 650nm The color change was detected by reading it.
[0097] As a result, as shown in Table 1 and Figure 3, the ability to induce transcription in reporter cells was high. As can be seen from this, some synthetic retinoids are more effective than endogenous ligands (ATRAs). It was demonstrated that they exhibited genomic activity. In particular, DC527, DC540, DC525, DC528, DC526 and All of DC645 showed higher genomic activity and efficacy compared to retinoic acid (ATRA).
[0098] 2.2 Non-genomic activity of synthetic retinoids Non-genomic activity of synthetic retinoids, AlphaLISA® SureFire® Ult The ability to induce phosphorylation of ERK1 / 2 was evaluated by measuring the ability of the ra ERK1 / 2 kit to do so. .
[0099] In this assay, SH-SY5Y cells (100,000 cells / well) were seeded in a 96-well plate, and DM In EM, the subjects were subjected to serum starvation for 24 hours. Retinoids were added to the culture medium at concentrations of 10⁻⁵ M to 10⁻¹¹ M. The test was performed with a final DMSO concentration of 0.1%. SH-SY5Y cells in serum-free DMEM were tested at 37°C. The cells were stimulated with retinoids for 30 minutes, and the assay was performed.
[0100] After the assay is complete, remove the culture medium and add 50 μL of freshly prepared 1X lysis buffer (included in the kit). The cells were lysed using ) and the 96-well plate was shaken in an orbital shaker (SO1, Stuart Scient). The mixture was stirred at approximately 350 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature using an ific (manufactured by ific).
[0101] Meanwhile, the activation buffer was diluted 25-fold with the reaction buffer. In a dark room under green light, the accelerator was used. The putter beads were diluted 50-fold with a freshly prepared reaction mixture, while the donor beads were diluted slowly. The mixture was diluted 50-fold with a volcanic ash solution to obtain two final reaction mixtures.
[0102] Next, 10 μL of cell lysate was placed in a 384-well white Proxiplates plate (PerkinElmer). Transfer each well and mix the prepared acceptor and donor reactions in a dark room under green light. 5 μL of each substance was added. The plate was wrapped in aluminum foil and incubated at room temperature for at least 3 hours. I did. Using the Envision system (PerkinElmer Life Sciences), I used AlphaScreen ( The reading was performed using the registered trademark settings.
[0103] The results shown in Table 1 and Figure 4 indicate that in SH-SY5Y cells, the phosphate of retinoid Erk1 / 2 is present. The ability to induce transformation has been demonstrated. Retinoin, such as DC527, DC540, DC528, DC526, DC645, etc. Retinoids have been identified that possess both higher potency and effectiveness than acids, and among them, DC525 has high potency. It was confirmed that it possesses [this characteristic].
[0104] 2.3 Induction of neurite outgrowth SY-SY5Y cells were acid-treated and included in a coverslip coated with poly-L-lysine. Cells were seeded at a rate of 10,000 cells / well in well plates. After 24 hours, each retinoid was administered at a concentration of 10 nM. The culture medium was added and the plates were incubated for 5 days. After retinoid treatment, the coverslip was removed. The SH-SY5Y cells on the substrate were washed twice with PBS and then treated with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at room temperature for 20 minutes. The specimens were fixed and washed twice with PBS.
[0105] For immunocytochemical staining of neurites, wash the cells on the coverslip three times with PBS. In a blocking solution (10% Donkey serum and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS) at room temperature for 1 hour. It was incubated. Then, β-III tubulin was diluted 1:1000 with blocking buffer. Cells were labeled by incubating them overnight at 4°C using the primary antibody (sigma-Aldrich). After incubation, wash the cells three times with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 solution (PBST). From there, anti-mouse monoclonal secondary antibody (1:300 in PBST, Jackson Immunoresearch) and ro Incubated at warm temperature for 2 hours. Finally, washed three times with PBST and then a final wash with PBS. The coverslip was placed on a slide and stored at 4°C.
[0106] To quantify the extension of neurites on stained cells, use Image with the NeuronJ plugin. J software was used. In each experiment, a Nikon Eclipse E400 fluorescence microscope was used for each experiment. Ten images were randomly selected from the bar slip and photographed. Each image was then converted into an 8-bit image (Neu (Required for ronJ plugin) Convert to GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) Brightness and Optimized using contrast tools. For each image, NeuronJ plugin trace Using a tool, individual traces were drawn for each clearly identifiable nerve process. The length was measured in pixels and converted to μm units according to the magnification used. The average neurite length in an image can be calculated by dividing the total neurite length by the total number of neurites in each image. The calculation was performed by measuring 10 images for each coverslip and calculating the average value for the entire coverslip. I prepared three coverslips for each retinoid and concentration.
[0107] The data shown in Figure 5 indicates that some retinoids induce neurite outgrowth in SY-SY5Y cells. This demonstrates that they have demonstrated their capabilities. Furthermore, some of these compounds (DC527, D Cells treated with C525, DC528, DC526, and DC645 were significantly larger than cells treated with ATRA. It showed an average neurite length.
[0108] Table 1 below shows the genomic activity (transcriptional activity) and non-genomic activity of the tested retinoid compounds. The p-ERK1 / 2 activity was summarized in relation to the increase in neurite outgrowth, and these results are shown in Figure 5. The data was plotted. This figure shows that high efficacy was demonstrated in both genomic and non-genomic assays. The compound clearly shows increased induction of neurite outgrowth. This is related to genomic activity and non- Compounds with "dual efficacy" that induce both genomic activity are more effective in clinical use. This suggests the possibility of a strong screening of new therapeutic compounds using this dual assay method. It has the potential to become a learning tool.

The expression of related gene groups was evaluated.
[0111] Approximately 300,000 rat nerve cells / glial cells were first treated with 1 μg / mL lipopolysaccharide ( Inflammation was induced by treating cells with sigma-Aldrich for 6 hours. After inflammation, cells were treated with 10 nM of The subjects were treated with retinoids for 24 hours. In this experiment, we found that this assay was the most potent to date. A retinoid was selected and used, which was identified as having the following properties. After treatment, RNA was extracted from the treated cells, and q PCR analysis was performed.
[0112] Total RNA was obtained using the Qiagen RNeasy mini kit (CAT# 74104, Qiagen), manufactured by the manufacturer. Extraction was performed according to the protocol. Briefly speaking, cell and brain tissue samples were extracted, respectively. Homogenization was performed using 350 μL of β-ME mixed with 1200 μL of RLT buffer (1 mL buffer: 10 μL β-ME). The sample was then centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 3 minutes. The supernatant was collected in 70% ethanol. Mix with (CAT# E7023, Sigma-Aldrich) in a 1:1 volume ratio, then put into a collection tube. The sample was transferred to the spin column. The sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute, and the RNA was separated by the spin column. It was bonded to the lamb membrane.
[0113] In on-column DNase digestion, the sample in the column is washed with 350 μL of RW1 buffer, and 10,000 The mixture was centrifuged at rpm for 1 minute. Then, 80 μL of DNase mixture (10 μL of DNase enzyme and 70 μL of RDD) was added. Buffer (CAT# 79254, Qiagen) was added to each sample. The samples were left in the refrigerator at room temperature for 15 minutes. After incubation, 350 μL of RW1 buffer was added. The sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute. did.
[0114] Then, 500 μL of RPE buffer (a mixture of 100% ethanol in a 1:4 ratio) is added to the sample. It was added on top of the bacon. The sample was centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute (this step was repeated twice). (Done). The spin column was centrifuged again at 13,000 rpm for 1 minute to dry the membrane. The sample was removed from the collection tube and placed in another 1.5 mL RNase-free collection tube. 30 μL of RNase-free The RNA was eluted by directly adding water to the spin column membrane. The sample was then eluted at room temperature for 5 minutes. After heating, it was rotated at 10,000 rpm for 1 minute.
[0115] RNA concentration was measured using a NanoDrop® 2000c spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Measurements were taken. RNase-free water used for RNA elution was used as a blank, and 2 μL of each RNA sample was used. The instrument was calibrated using this method. RNA samples were used to minimize RNA degradation. Therefore, it was stored in a -70°C freezer.
[0116] The qPCR reaction was performed using PerfeCTa SYBR Green SuperMix (CAT# 733-1246, VWR). Place three 10 μL portions of the reaction mix into each well of a 384-well plate (CAT# 04729749001, Roche). The mixtures were added in pairs. Each reaction included 2 μL of 4-fold diluted cDNA template and 2X SYBR Green Mix. This included 5 μL of 250 nM primer.
[0117] The primers were designed using Primer-BLAST with a melting point of approximately 60°C. These were then used for qPCR. Previously, we confirmed the specificity of the primers using PCR, and then sent the PCR products for sequencing.
[0118] For all primer sets tested with qPCR, standard curve (5x of stock cDNA) A blank control was performed using a diluted solution. Then, the plate was sealed and short After centrifuging for a set time, we confirmed that all reagents were at the bottom of the wells. This was performed on a Roche LightCycler 480 programmed to maintain a temperature of 95°C for 5 minutes. After that, qPCR was performed for 45 cycles at 95°C for 15 seconds, 60°C for 15 seconds, and 72°C for 15 seconds. The melting curve was obtained by running the process at 95°C for 5 seconds, followed by 58°C for 1 minute.
[0119] The results were analyzed using the delta-delta CT method in LightCycler 480 1.5 software. The expression of the target gene was normalized to an appropriate reference gene for each experiment.
[0120] The data shown in Figure 7 indicates that DC645, DC528, and DC526 are involved in the production of inflammatory genes (Ccl5, TNFα, Nos2). Unregulated neuroprotective genes (AbcA1, Abcg1, Igf1, Igf2) and non-amyloid Upregulating the gene pathways (Nep, Ide, Adam10) to toxic the amyloid precursor. This indicates that it leads to a pathway that does not generate sexually active amyloid fragments.

[0125] 3.3. Biological research In the aforementioned MDCK-MDR1 assay, the membrane permeability of numerous compounds of formula I was measured. Transparency (P app The emission rate (ER) was measured (nm / s) and the emission rate was measured to determine the permeability of the highly relevant reference compound EC23. We compared it with transient cases. The results are summarized in Table 2.
[0126] [Table 2]
[0127] The results shown in Table 2 indicate that among the compounds of formula (I), permeability in the MDCK-MDR1 assay is And the lack of excretion has been considerably improved in some cases, and therefore, the permeability of the blood-brain barrier And CNS exposure can be expected to be significantly improved. Treatment of CNS diseases requires exposure of CNS targets to sufficiently high concentrations of therapeutic agents. Therefore, it is clear that optimal exposure to the CNS is an essential characteristic for therapeutic drugs for these diseases. Thus, the compound of formula (I) that was studied is the compound EC23 described in the literature. In comparison, the drug-like properties have improved remarkably. This improvement in CNS exposure is astonishing. This is an unexpected discovery.
[0128] Example 4: Water solubility by turbidimetric method Example 4.1 Experimental Procedure The test compound (10 mM in DMSO) was successively diluted to obtain solutions of 0.1, 0.3, 1, and 3 mM in DMSO. The results were obtained. Subsequently, the concentration of each test compound was further adjusted using a buffer solution (0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4). Diluted to 1 / 100, the final DMSO concentration is 1%, and the final test compound concentrations are 1, 3, 10, and 30. The concentration was adjusted to 100 μM. The experiment was conducted at 37°C, and samples of each concentration were measured in seven replicated webs. The plates were incubated at 37°C for 2 hours, and then the absorbance was measured at 620 nm. The following was measured. The solubility of the sample was greater than that of the solvent control group (i.e., 1% DMSO in buffer). This was estimated from the concentration of the test compound that caused the increase in absorbance.
[0129] 4.2 Biological research The solubility of numerous compounds in formula (I) was measured using the water solubility assay by the turbidimetric method described above. The solubility of the compound was measured and compared with that of the highly relevant reference compound EC23. The results are summarized in Table 3.
