Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical chemistry, and in particular to a libramycin derivative and application thereof in treating nervous system diseases. Background Art
[0002] Excitotoxicity is a common pathological phenomenon in many brain diseases. It is widely present in diseases such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It is characterized by the accumulation of large amounts of excitatory neurotransmitters, mainly glutamate, which cause toxic damage to neurons and trigger a series of neuropathological changes1, including: (1) causing abnormal discharges in neurons, which in extreme cases can induce epilepsy; (2) overactivating nucleases and proteases in neurons, causing neurons to lose homeostasis; (3) causing oxidative stress damage to neurons; and (4) directly inducing apoptosis or autophagy of neurons in severe cases.
[0003] Excitotoxicity plays an important role in the pathogenesis of many neurological diseases and is considered to be one of the key factors that destroy normal brain function and cause neurodegenerative diseases. In the past, researchers mainly focused on the repair strategies that neurons may adopt after suffering excitotoxic damage: alleviating or reversing the pathological phenotype of the disease through drugs or molecular interventions, cell therapy and other methods. For example, in recent years, there have been many reports on neural stem cell transplantation and methods to inhibit neural apoptosis, which have brought hope for the treatment of diseases such as ALS, AD, and PD. However, there are also some problems with the above measures, such as the low survival rate of stem cells in cell transplantation therapy and the difficulty of integrating transplanted neurons into existing neural networks.
[0004] There is a speculation that the limited effectiveness of such treatments is due to their failure to prevent the "strike mechanism" that always exists during the disease process. If the strike mechanism can be addressed upstream of the disease, better treatment results may be achieved.
[0005] Astrocytes can maintain normal glutamate levels in the neural microenvironment by taking up and releasing glutamate, among which the glutamate transporter GLT1 (Glutamate transporter 1; also known as excitatory amino acid transporter 2, Excitatory amino acid transporter 2, EAAT2) plays the most important role in glutamate clearance3. GLT1 is a membrane integral protein specifically expressed by astrocytes. It transports glutamate from the extracellular to the intracellular by active transport, so that the glutamate concentration in the neural microenvironment is maintained within the normal range. Intracellular glutamate is converted into glutamine by the action of glutamine synthetase (GS) and enters the metabolic pathway. GLT1 can also prevent excessive neuronal excitation by quickly clearing glutamate from receptors on the postsynaptic membrane. Reports show that under the action of GLT1, the difference in glutamate concentration inside and outside the cell can be as high as 10,000 times. Studies have confirmed that GLT1 is the most important inward transporter of glutamate in the brain, responsible for nearly 80% of glutamate clearance.
[0006] Evidence shows that GLT1 is abnormally downregulated in a variety of neurological diseases, causing astrocytes to severely lose their glutamate clearance ability, which may be an important cause of abnormal glutamate accumulation. Studies on patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy found that both GLT1 mRNA and protein were downregulated in the patient's epileptogenic focus (sclerotic hippocampal tissue). AD and epilepsy have certain comorbidities. Many studies have confirmed that AD patients also have neuronal damage caused by excitotoxicity in their brains. At the same time, GLT1 protein levels were found to be significantly decreased in autopsy brain tissue of AD patients. Studies on autopsy brain tissue of ALS patients found that the loss of GLT1 protein was as high as 90%. Subsequent functional studies have shown that abnormal internalization and protein degradation of GLT1 under pathological conditions may be an important cause of its insufficient protein amount. In addition, researchers have also observed the phenomenon of GLT1 downregulation in model mice of tuberous sclerosis.
[0007] Functional studies at the animal level provide conclusive evidence for the relationship between the loss of GLT1 and the disease phenotype. First, GLT1 transgenic mice have the ability to resist epileptic seizures, which is manifested by the reduction of the death rate of hippocampal neurons in GLT1 transgenic mice under the induction of epilepsy-inducing drugs (pilocarpine, an agonist of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors, can be used to establish a rodent model of epilepsy by intraperitoneal injection), the degree of mossy fiber sprouting and other pathological phenotypes related to hippocampal sclerosis are alleviated, and the number of spontaneous chronic epileptic seizures in GLT1 transgenic mice is also reduced by about 50%. On the contrary, inhibiting the expression of GLT1 by injecting antisense RNA can lead to a large accumulation of glutamate in the mouse brain, induce neurodegenerative lesions, and gradually paralyze the mice. These studies show that astrocytes play an important neuroprotective function through their specifically expressed GLT1 molecules, and the loss of GLT1 is sufficient to cause excitotoxic damage to the nervous system.
[0008] In summary, abnormal downregulation of GLT1 protein may be an important reason for excessive accumulation of glutamate in the brain of patients with epilepsy, AD, ALS, etc. In recent years, some researchers have proposed the hypothesis of excessive degradation of GLT1 protein and found that HSP90 protein promotes 20S proteasome-dependent GLT1 protein degradation by recruiting GLT1 to proteasome. On the other hand, reactive astrocyte proliferation is a common pathological phenomenon in almost all brain diseases, and this process itself is accompanied by increased expression of HSP90 molecules. Therefore, HSP90 inhibitor treatment can increase the level of GLT1 protein in brain diseases such as temporal lobe epilepsy and AD. In terms of therapeutic effect, in mice with chronic temporal lobe epilepsy induced by kainate, two HSP90 inhibitors 17AAG and NVP-HSP990 can relieve epileptic seizures; in AD mouse models, NVP-HSP990 can reduce epileptic discharges in the brain and alleviate cognitive decline. Interestingly, since the expression level of HSP90 in astrocytes is much lower than that in neurons, and the overall expression level of HSP90 in the brain is comparable to that in other tissues and organs, the dosage of HSP90 inhibitors used in the treatment of brain diseases is much lower than the dosage used in anti-tumor treatment, which can increase the level of GLT1 protein and exert anti-epileptic and anti-AD effects. 18 These research results show that HSP90 inhibitors can have therapeutic effects on brain diseases with neuroexcitotoxicity such as epilepsy and AD at low doses.
[0009] However, existing HSP90 inhibitors have certain problems. For example, 17AAG and NVP-HSP990 have their own shortcomings: 17AAG has poor drugability (low water solubility, low bioavailability, and toxicity); NVP-990 has been reported to have optic neurotoxicity in clinical trials; (2) More importantly, HSP90 inhibitors have great limitations in treating brain diseases (such as blood-brain barrier permeability). Therefore, it is necessary to further optimize and transform them for the goal of "treating brain diseases."
[0010] Reblastatin is a type of aniline mycin, and its structural formula is as follows:
[0011]
[0012] Compared with 17AAG, the benzoquinone structure on the benzene ring of this compound is replaced by a phenol structure, so its toxicity is reduced. However, its disadvantage is that its brain-penetrating efficiency is extremely low, so it is necessary to modify its compound structure to improve its brain-penetrating efficiency.

[0132] Effect detection
[0133] 1. Cytotoxicity assay
[0134] We used HepG2 cells to carry out CTG (CELL TITER-GLO) luminescence method cell proliferation inhibition rate detection. We conducted a screening experiment for 10 compounds. The compound screening concentrations were 0.005, 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20, and 50 μM, respectively. The cells were cultured in a cell culture incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2 for 2 days, and then CTG detection was carried out. IC50 was calculated, and the results are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, it can be seen that the IC50 of 17AAG is 0.017 μM and the toxicity of 18-Me-Reb is 0.349 μM, which is much lower than the toxicity of 17AAG (19.5 times).
[0135] At the same time, we also evaluated the cytotoxicity of I-2, I-3, and I-4. Figure 6 , and the IC50 values were found to be 0.301μM, 0.238μM, and 0.347μM, respectively, which were similar to those of 18-Me-Reb and were much lower than the toxicity of 17AAG.
[0136] 2. Experiment on increasing the level of GLT1 protein in primary cultured astrocytes
[0137] In order to detect whether the above four compounds can increase the expression level of GLT1. We cultured primary astrocytes and treated them with the above four compounds on the 14th day after culture. The treatment doses were 0, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 400 nM, respectively. After 48 hours of compound treatment, astrocytes were collected for Western blotting to detect the levels of GLT1 and Actin proteins. The results are shown in Figure 7 As shown, the results showed that all four compounds could increase the level of GLT1 protein.
[0138] 2. Experiment on increasing GLT1 protein level in mouse hippocampal tissue by 18-Me-reblastatin
[0139] Nine-week-old C57 / BL6j mice, 20 males and females, 4 mice in each dose group (half males and half females), were injected intraperitoneally with 0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mg / kg doses. After injection on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th day, the hippocampal brain tissue of the mice was obtained on the morning of the 6th day, and the tissue was homogenized. 10 μl (20 μg) of protein was taken for Western blotting analysis, and the statistical method was One-way ANOVA. Figure 8 As shown, the results showed that the protein level of GLT1 gradually increased in a dose-dependent manner and reached the maximum at 4 mg / kg injection.
[0140] 3. Blood-brain barrier permeability test
[0141] 3.1 Blood-brain barrier permeability test of compound I
[0142] First, the blood drug concentration of mice was tested at a dose of 4 mg / kg after intraperitoneal injection, and the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters and the brain-blood ratio of the compound were calculated. The peak time of blood drug concentration after injection was 0.14 hours, and the half-life (T1 / 2) of the compound was 2.07 hours. By detecting the compound concentration in plasma and brain at 0.083, 0.167 and 0.5 hours after injection, the brain-blood ratios at these three time points were 0.35, 0.52 and 0.54, respectively, which means that about half of the compound can pass through the brain and achieve the properties of a central nervous system drug.

[0167] 4. Protective effect of compound I in acute epilepsy induced by pentetrazodone (PTZ)
[0168] PTZ is a central nervous system stimulant that induces epileptic seizures primarily by acting as a noncompetitive antagonist of GABA receptors. This inhibition reduces GABA-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission, leading to an imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory signals in the brain. As a result, neuronal excitability increases, inducing acute epileptic seizures. The PTZ-induced acute epilepsy model is often used for rapid screening of anti-epileptic and anti-neuroexcitatory compounds.
[0169] Nine-week-old male C57 / BL6j mice were used. There were 18 mice in the control group and 15 mice in the 18-Me-Reblastatin group. On the 1st, 3rd, and 5th days of the experiment, 4 mg / kg of the compound dissolved in DMSO or the solvent control group were intraperitoneally injected in a volume of 100 μl. At noon on the 6th day, PTZ was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 55 mg / kg to induce epileptic seizures. The time of the first epileptic seizure after PTZ injection and the Racine scale of the maximum level of epileptic seizure were detected.
[0170] Racine Rating Standards:
[0171] 0) No seizure behavior;
[0172] 1) The behavior suddenly stops and the patient stares motionlessly;
[0173] 2) whisker tremors and / or facial and neck twitching;
[0174] 3) Orthoplastic seizures;
[0175] 4) Tonic-clonic seizure (prone);
[0176] 5) Tonic-clonic seizures (lying on the side, loss of postural control) or violent jumping.
[0177] The statistical method is Student's t test, and the results are as follows Fig. 9From the statistical results, it can be seen that the average onset time of epileptic seizures in the solvent control group was 80 seconds, while the average onset time of epileptic seizures in the 18-Me-Reblastatin treatment group was 98 seconds. In terms of Racine score, the average score of the solvent control group was 3.8 points, while the average score of the 18-Me-Reblastatin treatment group was 2.9 points. In summary, pretreatment with 18-Me-Reblastatin resulted in a prolonged onset time of PTZ-induced epileptic seizures and a milder severity of seizures. This indicates that 18-Me-Reblastatin has a protective effect on acute epilepsy induced by PTZ.
[0178] 5. Anti-epileptic and cognitive improvement effects of compound I in AD mouse model (APP / PS1)
[0179] Eight-month-old male APP / PS1 mice (carrying both APP695swe / PS1-dE9 mutations; Jacksonlab strain number 034832) were used. In the EEG test, there were 8 mice in each of the control group and the experimental group. After the electrodes were implanted, the baseline EEG recording was first monitored continuously for 24h×14 days. From the 15th day, the solvent control group or 18-Me-Reblastatin (4mg / kg) was intraperitoneally injected every other day for 7 consecutive times. Finally, the EEG recording was terminated on the 14th day after the first injection. The effect of the compound was analyzed by comparing the baseline period and the epileptic seizures after administration. Fig.10 As shown, the results showed that the solvent (DMSO) control group had no significant effect on the frequency of epileptic seizures, with a baseline of 1.08 times / day and a seizure frequency of 1.11 times / day after solvent injection. In the experimental group, the baseline of epileptic seizures was 0.96 times / day, and after 18-Me-Reblastatin treatment, it was 0.16 times per day, with an average decrease of 83%.
[0180] 6. Protective effect of compound I in MPTP-induced PD model
[0181] In order to detect the therapeutic effect on Parkinson's mouse model. We selected 37 8-week-old male c57 mice and randomly divided them into three groups, namely the control group (n=8), MPTP modeling group (n=11) and 18Me administration group (n=18). The administration group was pre-administered with 18-Me-Reblastatin (4 mg / kg, ip) twice, and then the MPTP subacute PD model was established. MPTP was intraperitoneally injected into mice at a dose of 30 mg / kg, and the control group was injected with an equal amount of saline, once a day, for a total of 14 days; during this period, the mice in the administration group were simultaneously injected with 18-Me-Reblastatin (4 mg / kg) intraperitoneally, once every other day, and the control group and the modeling group were injected with an equal amount of DMSO. Behavioral tests were performed two weeks later.
[0182] Test 1: Pole climbing test. The motor coordination ability of mice was evaluated by observing their ability to grasp and descend a vertical pole. The experimental apparatus consisted of a wooden pole with a diameter of 1 cm and a length of 50 cm, with a wooden ball with a diameter of 2.5 cm fixed on the top. Gauze was wrapped around the vertical wooden pole to prevent the mouse from slipping. During the test, the wooden pole was at a 90° angle to the ground. The mouse was placed on the top wooden ball, and the time it took the mouse to spontaneously climb from the top to the bottom was recorded. Each mouse was tested three times, with at least 30 minutes between each experiment, and the three results were averaged.
[0183] Test 2: Rotarod test. Used to evaluate the coordinated movement and balance ability of mice. Before all experiments, each mouse was pre-trained for three days, with the speed set to 8rpm, 12rpm and 16rpm for 5 minutes. During the formal experiment, the rotarod instrument was set to a uniform acceleration process from 4rpm to 40rpm for 10 minutes, and the time when the mouse fell from the rotating rod was recorded. Each mouse was tested three times, with at least 30 minutes between each experiment, and the three results were averaged.
[0184] The results are as follows Fig.11 The results showed that 18-Me-Reblastatin can significantly alleviate the motor impairment caused by MPTP, suggesting that 18-Me-Reblastatin also has a protective effect on PD.
