1 / 83 Composition for visual health comprising very long-chain fatty acids, and uses thereof. Divided from BR112022018122-1, filed on March 11, 2021.
[001] Compositions and methods for treating and / or preventing at least one disease, disorder and / or condition associated with a loss of visual acuity, including, for example, age-related macular degeneration, are disclosed in this document. In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed in this document comprise at least one very long-chain fatty acid selected from C26+ (5n-3) acids, prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing.
[002] Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of severe visual acuity loss in the United States and Western Europe in people aged 55 years and older. An estimated 1.75 million individuals in the United States have advanced AMD, which accounts for the majority of cases of severe vision loss. An additional 7.3 million people have early AMD, which is generally associated with little or no vision loss but increases the risk of developing AMD. It is associated with a set of clinically recognizable ocular findings that can lead to blindness. These findings include drusen, retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) disorder, including clumping and / or pigment deposition, RPE detachment, geographic atrophy, subretinal neovascularization, and disciform scarring. Not all of these manifestations are necessary for AMD to be considered present.
[003] Compositions for eye health are disclosed in this document, for example, to prevent or treat macular degeneration. In some forms, the compositions disclosed in this document are nutritional or dietary supplement compositions. In some Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, p. 9 / 216 2 / 83 embodiments, the compositions are pharmaceutical compositions. In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed in this document may strengthen and / or promote retinal health, for example, by stabilizing and / or treating visual acuity loss in people with specific eye diseases, disorders and / or conditions. In some embodiments, the disclosure refers to antioxidant nutritional supplements comprising a potent vitamin B complex. In some embodiments, administration of the compositions may decrease visual acuity loss, for example, by reducing the risk of developing late- or advanced age-related macular degeneration in patients.
[004] Methods for the treatment and / or prevention of at least one disease, disorder and / or condition associated with loss of visual acuity are also disclosed in this document, the method comprising administering to an individual in need of a composition as disclosed in this document. In some embodiments, the at least one disease, disorder and / or condition associated with a loss of visual acuity is chosen from among age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal pigment epithelium atrophy (RPE), atrophy of at least one photoreceptor, drusen, drusenoid pigment epithelial detachment (DPE), diabetic retinopathy, cataract, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, choroidal neovascularization, retinal degeneration and oxygen-induced retinopathy.
[005] Also disclosed in this document are methods for regression of drusen and / or epithelial drusenoid pigment detachment (EDD), methods for treating and / or preventing retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy and / or at least one photoreceptor, and methods for treating and / or preventing vision loss and / or improving visual acuity. The methods comprise administering to a needy individual a composition as disclosed in this document. Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, p. 10 / 216 3 / 83 FIGURES

[0016] As used in this document, the terms treat and treatment include the medical control of an individual's disease, disorder, and / or condition as would be understood by one skilled in the art (see, e.g., Stedman's Medical Dictionary). In general, an appropriate dose and treatment regimen provide at least one of the compositions of this disclosure sufficient to provide therapeutic and / or prophylactic benefit. For therapeutic treatment and prophylactic or preventive measures, therapeutic and / or prophylactic benefit includes, for example, an improved clinical outcome, where the object is to prevent or Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, page 13 / 216 6 / 83 To delay or lessen an undesirable physiological change or disturbance, or to prevent or delay or lessen the expansion or severity of such a disturbance. As discussed in this document, beneficial or desired clinical outcomes of an individual's treatment include, but are not limited to: reduction, diminution, or relief of symptoms resulting from or associated with the disease, condition, and / or disorder being treated; decreased occurrence of symptoms; improved quality of life; longer symptom-free state (i.e., decreasing the likelihood or propensity that an individual will present symptoms upon which a disease diagnosis is based); decreased extent of the disease, disorder, and / or condition; stabilized state (i.e., not worsening) of the disease, disorder, and / or condition; delay or retardation of the progression of a disease, disorder, and / or condition; improvement or palliation of the state of a disease, disorder, and / or condition; and remission (partial or total), whether detectable or undetectable; and / or overall survival.
[0017] As used in this document, prevention of or preventing a disorder or condition refers to reducing or lowering the occurrence of the disorder or condition in a treated sample relative to an untreated control sample and includes delaying the onset, progression, or reduction in the severity of one or more symptoms of the disorder or condition relative to the untreated control sample.
[0018] As used in this document, the term pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to a salt form of a compound wherein the salt is non-toxic and includes such salts derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, SM Berge, et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences, 1977, 66, 1-19. Non-limiting examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include clo Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, page 14 / 216 7 / 83 phosphates, bromides, sulfates, nitrates, phosphates, sulfonates, methane sulfonates, formates, tartrates, maleates, succinates, malonates, citrates, benzoates, salicylates, and ascorbates. Non-limiting examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium (substituted and unsubstituted), calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and aluminum salts. Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts include pharmaceutically acceptable salts derived from appropriate bases and include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium, and N+(C1-4alkyl)4 salts. This disclosure also provides for the quaternization of any basic nitrogen-containing groups of the compounds disclosed herein. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may, for example, be obtained using standard procedures well known in the pharmaceutical field.A person skilled in the art will recognize that the stability and other properties of different pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the components mentioned in this document may differ and will consider these differences when selecting suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
[0019] The terms patient, individual, person and the like, as used in this document, are interchangeable and refer to any animal, which may be a human or non-human animal.
[0020] As used in this document, age-related macular degeneration or AMD includes all forms of macular degeneration, including wet (exudative) and dry (atrophic) forms.
[0021] The term prodrug includes compounds that can be converted (e.g., under physiological conditions or by solvolysis) into a biologically active compound. Thus, the term prodrug includes metabolic precursors of compounds that are pharmaceutically acceptable. A discussion of prodrugs can be found, for example, in Higuchi, T., et al., Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems, ACS Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, p. 15 / 216 8 / 83 Symposium Series, Vol. 14, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987. The term prodrug also includes covalently linked carriers that release the active compounds, as described in this document, in vivo when such a prodrug is administered to an individual. Non-limiting examples of prodrugs include ester and amide derivatives of hydroxy, carboxy, mercapto, and amino functional groups in the compounds described in this document.
[0022] The term nutritional composition, as used in this document, includes a food product intended for human consumption.
[0023] As will be understood by one skilled in the art, when disclosed in this document, each interval includes all possible subintervals as well as individual numerical values within that interval. For example, an interval from 1.0 to 5.0 includes and would be understood as specifically disclosing subintervals such as 1.0 to 3.0, 1.5 to 3.7, 2.1 to 4.3, etc., as well as all individual numbers within the disclosed interval, for example, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.

[00148] The effectiveness of the compositions and methods of the present disclosure, for example, in the treatment and / or prevention of at least one disease, disorder and / or condition associated with a loss of visual acuity, can be determined by one skilled in the relevant art. One or any combination of diagnostic methods, including physical examination, symptom assessment and monitoring, and performance of analytical tests and methods described in this document, may be used to monitor at least one disease, disorder and / or condition. For example, eye examinations such as biomicroscopy, tonometry, fundoscopy examinations (e.g., color fundus photography), macular function assessment, optical coherence tomography (OCT), autofluorescence and / or angiography (e.g., fluorescein angiography and OCT-based angiography (OCTA)) may be used.
[00149] For example, visual acuity can be assessed by any suitable method known to one skilled in the art. In some modalities, visual acuity is assessed by determining the smallest letters the patient can read on a standard vision chart at a defined distance. Additionally, for example, progression Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, page 78 / 216 71 / 83 of AMD can be assessed by measuring a parameter, such as neovascularization. Maintenance or a reduction in the measured parameter from the first time point to the second time point is indicative of the prevention of AMD progression. In some modalities, the progression or regression of AMD and / or drusen is assessed by determining a specific drusen parameter in a patient at a first time point (e.g., before administration of a high-dose statin), determining the same parameter in the same patient at a second time point (e.g., after administration of a high-dose statin), and comparing the parameter measured at the first time point and the second time point. The drusen parameter may be, for example, volume, height, diameter, and / or number.For example, druse regression can be at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, or at least 99%. In some embodiments, druse is reduced from 5% to at least 40%, such as 90%. Furthermore, atrophy can be assessed, for example, by measuring a parameter such as autofluorescence or retinal thickness, and PED can be assessed for flattening, for example, by measuring a parameter such as volume, height and / or diameter, and can be assessed for new fixation to Bruch's membrane by measuring, for example, a parameter such as separation distance. Example 1: In Vitro Activity of C32 (6n-3) Acid
[00150] Three-month-old wild-type (WT) C57BL / 6J mice (22 ± 3 g) were each fed by gavage 6 mg per day of liposomes with VLCPUFA (0.1 mL) loaded with C32 (6n-3) (32:6 n-3) acid (250 mg / kg body weight) prepared Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, page 79 / 216 72 / 83 as reported in Gorusupudi et al. PNAS 118(6), e2017739118 (2021), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Mice were sacrificed 0, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours after gavage (n = 4 mice / time interval) to collect blood and other tissues. The eyes were dissected under a microscope to separate the retina from the RPE. One retina / mouse pair was used for lipid extraction, and the blood was centrifuged for 5 minutes at 7,500 rpm to separate the serum from the RBCs. Serum, RBCs, brain, liver, retina, and RPE were used for lipid extractions and GC-MS analysis.
[00151] As shown in FIG. In Figure 1A, the 32:6 n-3 serum became detectable within 2 hours after oral administration and then reached a lower steady-state concentration over the following 24 hours. A significant increase in 32:6 n-3 in the retina and RPE was observed 4 to 8 hours after gavage (FIG 1B).On the other hand, 32:6 n-3 remained undetectable in the liver, brain, and red blood cell membranes (RBCs) for a period of 24 hours. Long-term absorption was studied by gavage feeding of liposomes loaded with VLCPUFA (0.1 mL) to WT (22 ± 3 g) and conditionally KO mice developed with the intention of completely eliminating Elovl4 expression in rods and cones (E4cKO mice) (23 ± 3 g) for 15 days with 0, 1, and 2 mg / d 32:6 n-3 (n = 6 mice / group). Mice were fed every morning with liposomes prepared as described above containing 0 mg / d (0 mg / kg BW), 1 mg / d (40 mg / kg BW), or 2 mg / d (80 mg / kg BW) of 32:6 n-3. The mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiments, and retina, RPE, liver, serum, RBCs, and brain tissues were collected, extracted for lipids, and analyzed by GC-MS.
[00152] As shown in FIG. 2A, C32 (6n3) acid levels increased significantly by more than two-fold in the retina and seven-fold in the RPE in both groups fed 32:6 n-3 in Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, page 80 / 216 73 / 83 compared with the 0 mg / d controls. A significant increase (P < 0.05) in total retinal VLCPUFAs was also observed in the 2 mg / d group (0.872 ± 0.10%) compared with the 1 mg / d (0.535 ± 0.06%) and 0 mg / d (0.531 ± 0.16%) groups. Serum and RBC VLCPUFAs remained undetectable in control mice and increased significantly in the 32:6 n-3 fed groups, as shown in Figure 2B. The liver had detectable levels of 32:6 n-3 only in the 2 mg / d group (FIG. 2B), while no VLCPUFAs were detectable in the brain.
[00153] Retina and RPE were extracted for phospholipid analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem MS (LC-MS / MS), and increases in phosphatidylcholine (PC)-22:6 / 32:6 were detected in the retina and RPE in supplemented WT animals (FIGs. 3A and 3B). The levels of 32:6 n-3 retinal and RPE in E4cKO mice were one-third and half the levels in age-matched WT mice, respectively (FIG. 4A). After 15 days of gavage feeding with 2 mg / d of synthetic 32:6 n-3, 8-month-old E4cKO mice had an almost fivefold increase in their retinal 32:6 n-3 levels (P < 0.01) and a 27-fold increase in RPE (P = 0.001) compared to E4cKO mice fed control (FIG. 4A).There was a significant increase (P < 0.05) in total retinal VLCPUFAs in E4cKO mice fed 2 mg / d of 32:6 n-3 (0.088 ± 0.02%) compared with E4cKO mice fed 0 mg / d (0.030 ± 0.01%), which approached the levels in age-matched WT mice fed 0 mg / d (0.102 ± 0.008%). Liver 32:6 n-3 and RBC became detectable in mice fed 2 mg / d of 32:6 n3 compared to undetectable levels in E4cKO and WT mice fed 0 mg / d (FIG 4A).
[00154] These observations support the inventor's belief that compositions comprising at least one fatty acid chain Petition 870260052112, dated 05 / 29 / 2026, p. 81 / 216 74 / 83 very long chain fatty acids selected from C26+ (5n-3) acids, prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing may be used to maintain normal retinal physiology and may also be used to enhance visual acuity. Therefore, the findings support the currently claimed uses of compositions comprising at least one very long chain fatty acid selected from C26+ (5n-3) acids, prodrugs thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of any of the foregoing, including methods of delaying the progression and / or onset of macular degeneration and methods of treating and / or preventing at least one disease, disorder and / or condition associated with a loss of visual acuity.
