Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to crystalline forms of compounds of psilocybin and psilocin, and to the use of said compounds in the treatment of mental health disorders and / or other central nervous system conditions and disorders.
Background Art
[0002] Various natural plants and fungi contain compounds with hallucinogenic effects ( "neuroactive" compounds) that can cause changes in brain function or activity, and may cause hallucinations or similar experiences in an individual ( "hallucinogenic" compounds). The most common naturally occurring hallucinogen is psilocybin, which has been found in over 180 species of mushrooms worldwide. Mushrooms containing psilocybin also contain other neuroactive and hallucinogenic compounds, the most abundant of which is psilocin, the main metabolite of psilocybin. In the human body, psilocybin is mainly metabolized to psilocin in the digestive system, which is then absorbed and causes hallucinogenic effects.
[0003] These hallucinogenic effects are dose-dependent and usually involve changes in visual, auditory, and cognitive experiences. These psilocybin experiences may occur because both psilocybin and psilocin are structurally similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and both bind to various 5-HT receptors.
[0004] In contrast to psilocybin, psilocin is chemically unstable and rapidly oxidizes when exposed to air. For this reason, few clinical or investigational studies have been conducted on the effects of administering psilocin alone or in comparison to psilocybin. Preclinical studies that have been conducted suggest that psilocin has a faster absorption rate and onset of action than psilocybin. Psilocin binds to a different range of 5-HT receptors at different concentrations, resulting in a different range of effects.
[0005] Since the properties of silibinin and silybin are different, a compound combining both silibinin and silybin can be expected to have unique beneficial properties compared to the case of only one of the compounds.
[0006] Hallucinogens such as silibinin and silybin have been suggested to be effective in the treatment of certain mental health and central nervous system diseases. This is particularly thought to be the case for disorders that are resistant to currently available treatments, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, also known as treatment-resistant depression (TRD).
[0007] There is a need for new treatments for a wide variety of mental health and central nervous system diseases. One such treatment could potentially be crystalline forms of silibinin and silybin, particularly for use in diseases that are currently resistant to treatment.

[0008] The present disclosure provides crystalline forms of silybin and silibinin:

[0083] As used herein, the terms "treating", "treated", "treatment", or "treat" refer to both therapeutic and prophylactic or preventive measures, the purpose of which is to prevent or delay (mitigate) an undesirable physiological condition, disease, or illness, or to obtain a beneficial or desirable clinical outcome. For the purposes of the present invention, beneficial or desirable clinical outcomes include, but are not limited to, alleviation of symptoms; reduction in the degree of symptoms, disease, or illness; stabilization of the state of symptoms, disease, or illness (i.e., does not worsen); delay in the onset or reduction in the progression of symptoms, disease, or illness; improvement in symptoms, disease, or medical condition; and remission (partial or complete, induction or maintenance), detectable or undetectable, or enhancement or improvement of a condition, disease, or illness. Treatment includes eliciting a clinically significant response without undue side effects. Treatment also includes extending the survival period as compared to the expected survival period in the absence of treatment. Treatment may be essentially prophylactic, i.e., may include prevention of disease. Prevention of disease may include complete protection from a disease, such as prevention of infection by a pathogen, or may include prevention of the progression of a disease. For example, prevention of disease does not mean completely eliminating all effects associated with the disease at all levels, but may mean preventing the symptoms of the disease to a clinically significant or detectable level. Prevention of disease also means preventing the progression of the disease to a later stage and extending the disease-free survival period as compared to the disease-free survival period in the absence of treatment, and extending the disease-free survival period as compared to the disease-free survival period in the absence of treatment.
[0084] As used herein, the term "treatment" is used interchangeably with the term "therapy" and refers to both 1) therapeutic measures or means for curing, delaying, reducing, and / or halting the progression of the symptoms of a diagnosed pathogenic medical condition or disease, and 2) prophylactic / preventive means. Those in need of treatment include not only those already suffering from a specific medical disease, but also those who may ultimately develop the disease (i.e., those in need of preventive measures).
[0085] The terms "therapeutically effective amount", "effective dosage", "therapeutically effective dosage", "effective amount", or like terms refer to the amount of a subject compound that elicits a biological or medical response in a tissue, system, animal, or human that is desired by a researcher, veterinarian, physician, or other clinician. Generally, the response is either an improvement in the patient's symptoms or a desirable biological outcome (e.g., improvement of symptoms of PTSD). The effective amount can be determined as described herein.
[0086] The terms "administer" and / or "administering" should be understood to mean providing a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need of treatment. The route of administration is enteral, topical, or parenteral. Thus, routes of administration include, but are not limited to, intradermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraarterial, intraorbital, intracardiac, intradermal, transdermal, subdural, intraspinal, oral, sublingual, buccal, rectal, nasal administration, and infusion. Suitable unit dosage forms include, but are not limited to, powders, tablets, pills, capsules, troches, suppositories, patches, nasal sprays, injections, implantable sustained release formulations, lipid complexes, etc.

The complete list of currently recognized mental health disorders is described in the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM5)", which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety herein. Central nervous system (CNS) disorders include burns, injuries, other physical causes, post-traumatic, post-brain injury, post-stroke, post-heart attack, post-diabetes, chronic pain disorders, migraines, chronic headaches, chronic low back pain, chronic arthritis pain, chronic pain from any cause, cognitive disorders, cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, dementia at any stage, dementia from any cause, age-related memory impairment, neuropsychiatric disorders, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FAS) disorders, autism spectrum disorder, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, fatigue, chronic fatigue, insomnia from any cause, and psychological and physical trauma from all post-COVID syndromes, but are not limited thereto. The severity of symptoms varies, with some people experiencing debilitating diseases that interfere with normal social life, while others experience intermittent and recurrent episodes throughout their lives. The symptoms and diagnostic criteria for mental disorders and CNS conditions are partially different, but there are notable endophenotypes common to both disorders, and co-occurring disorders are also common.
[0089] Specifically, there are endophenotypes of phenotypes related to changes in mood, cognition, and behavior. Interestingly, many of these endophenotypes are also extended to neurological diseases. For example, attention deficit has been reported in patients with attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, eating disorders, substance use disorders, schizophrenia, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, traumatic brain injury, fragile X syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and frontotemporal dementia.
[0090] Depressive disorders are characterized by mood depression, sadness or a sense of despair, increased irritability, sleep disorders, decreased energy and fatigue, decreased concentration, decreased self-esteem or a sense of worthlessness, lack of interest or pleasure in things, slowing of movements, thoughts of being better off dead and self-harm behavior, and actively thinking about or attempting suicide, and include major depressive disorder, bipolar depression, treatment-resistant depression, and mood-cycling disorders.
[0091] Anxiety disorders are characterized by feelings of tension, anxiety, difficulty breathing, avoidance of people or activities, excessive worry, chest pain, palpitations, sweating, nausea, stomachache, headache, neck pain, lack of sleep, decreased concentration, sweating, dizziness and other physical symptoms, and include generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, agoraphobia, phobias, and separation anxiety disorder.
[0092] Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by flashbacks, nightmares, involuntary memories, mental or physical reactions after recalling a trauma, avoidance of things that may trigger such memories, avoidance of activities, social isolation, increased anger or aggression, increased irritability, participation in risky behaviors, decreased concentration, sleep disorders, and increased startle responses, and can be further described as those accompanied by dissociative experiences.
[0093] Substance abuse and addiction disorders are identified when an individual repeatedly uses alcohol or drugs, causing significant disorders that have an adverse impact on health, work, school, and family. The severity varies depending on the type and frequency of drug use, as well as the social and interpersonal problems associated with this use. It affects family, friends, work, school, relationships, withdrawal symptoms, tolerance, failed attempts to quit, physical and mental health problems caused by drug use, and cravings, including alcohol use disorder, cannabis use disorder, hallucinogen use disorder, inhalant use disorder, opioid use disorder, sedative-hypnotic or anxiolytic use disorder, stimulant use disorder, tobacco use disorder, unknown substance use disorder, and these disorders can occur alone or in combination.
[0094] Chronic pain disorders are characterized by pain occurring in one or more parts of the body, such as headache, low back pain, neck pain, arthritis pain, pain associated with cancer, neuropathic pain, psychogenic pain, etc., and symptoms include chronic arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, temporomandibular joint disorder, vulvodynia, cluster headache, migraine, herpes zoster, painful shoulder contracture, complex regional pain syndrome, gout, postoperative pain syndrome, herniated disc, sciatica, and trigeminal neuralgia.
[0095] Cognitive impairment is characterized by a decline in brain function, including memory and other functions, such as movement, speech, concentration, problem-solving, sleep analysis, tremors, fatigue, dizziness, headache, hallucinations, and confabulation, and includes memory impairment associated with aging, Alzheimer's disease, Pick's disease, vascular dementia, post-stroke dementia, multi-infarct dementia, Parkinson's disease, frontotemporal dementia, alcohol-related dementia, and amnestic disorders such as Korsakoff syndrome.
[0096] Neurogenesis is an important process in the brains of animals and humans, where new neurons are continuously generated throughout the life of the organism. The newly born cells can differentiate into functional cells of the central nervous system and integrate into the existing neural circuits in the brain. Stimulating neurogenesis or neurite growth may improve cognitive abilities related to various symptoms of the central nervous system, such as depression and anxiety.

Example
[0117] Example 1 Salt screening Freeze-drying / Recrystallization: A physical mixture of silybin and silibinin in a 1:1 ratio was prepared in water:acetonitrile (60:40 v / v) + 0.1% formic acid. The solution was divided into 11 vials, and each vial achieved a silybin content of 30 mg. The solvent was removed by freeze-drying. The resulting amorphous material was resuspended in 10 solvents, and the samples were heated to 50 °C and cooled to 5 °C at a constant heating rate of 10 °C / h and variable cooling rates of -20 °C / h, -10 °C / h, and -5 °C / h in the first to third cycles. After the temperature profile, the solids were collected, dried under ambient conditions and in vacuo, and analyzed by XPRD. Subsequently, all solids were exposed to 40 °C / 75% relative humidity (RH) (AAC) for 2 days and re-measured by XRPD. The results are shown in Table 1.
Table 4
[0118] Slurry Conversion: A physical mixture of silybin and silibinin in a molar ratio was prepared in an organic solvent mixture to form a suspension. The samples were heated to 50 °C and cooled to 5 °C at a constant heating rate of 10 °C / h and variable cooling rates of -20 °C / h, -10 °C / h, and -5 °C / h in the first to third cycles. Subsequently, the samples were aged at room temperature for 72 h. At the end of the aging period, the solids were separated from the liquid phase by centrifugation, dried under ambient conditions and in vacuo, and then analyzed by HT-XRPD. All solids were exposed to 40 °C / 75% RH (AAC) for 2 days and re-measured by XRPD. The results are shown in Table 2.
Table 5
[0119] Example 2 XRPD Analysis The XRPD pattern was obtained using an Ardena T2 high-throughput XRPD setup. The plate was mounted on a Bruker General Area Detector Diffraction System (GADDS) equipped with a VÅNTEC-500 gas area detector that corrected for intensity and geometric variations. Calibration of the measurement accuracy (peak position) was performed using the NIST SRM1976 standard (corundum).
[0120] Data collection was performed at room temperature using monochromatic Cu Kα radiation in the 2θ range of 1.5° to 41.5°, which is the most characteristic part of the XRPD pattern. The diffraction pattern of each well was collected at an exposure time of 90 seconds per frame in two 2θ ranges (1.5° ≤ 2θ ≤ 21.5° for the first frame and 19.5° ≤ 2θ ≤ 41.5° for the second frame). No background subtraction or curve smoothing was applied to the XRPD pattern.
[0121] The lattice parameters and crystal system were obtained using the LSI-Index (Coelho, 2003; Coelho & Kern, 2005) indexing program. The space group was selected based on the reflection conditions and density of the crystal. The lattice parameters, purity, and instrument parameters were refined using the whole powder pattern decomposition method.
[0122] In the Rietveld calculation, the lattice parameters, crystal system, and atomic positions were obtained from a single crystal file (cif). During refinement, the following parameters were refined: lattice constant, background, instrument shape, zero shift, and absorption.
[0123] Throughout the process, neither the atomic positions nor the thermal motion parameters were refined. The following goodness-of-fit criteria were used. Y o,m and Y c,m are the observed data and calculated data at data point m, respectively, M is the number of data points, P is the number of parameters, wm is the weight given to data point m, and in the count statistics, wm = 1 / σ(Y o,m ) 2 is given, and σ(Y o,m ) is the error of Y o,m .

[0127] Example 3 TGMS and DSC Analysis The mass loss due to the loss of solvent or water from the crystal was measured by TGA / DSC. When monitoring the weight of the sample during heating with a TGA / DSC 3+ STARe System (Mettler-Toledo GmbH, Switzerland), a weight versus temperature curve and a heat flow signal were obtained. The TGA / DSC 3+ was temperature-calibrated using samples of indium and aluminum. The sample (about 2 mg) was weighed into a 100 μL aluminum crucible and sealed. A pinhole was opened in the seal, and the crucible was heated in the TGA from 25 to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min. Dry N2 gas was used for purging.
[0128] The gas generated from the TGA sample was analyzed by a mass spectrometer Omnistar GSD 350 (Pfeiffer Vacuum GmbH, Germany). The latter is a quadrupole mass spectrometer that analyzes mass within a temperature range of 0 - 200 amu.
[0129] The thermal events were obtained from the DSC thermograms recorded by a heat flux DSC3 + STARe System (Mettler - Toledo GmbH, Switzerland). The temperature and enthalpy of DSC3 + were calibrated using small pieces of indium (m.p. = 156.6 °C, δHf = 28.45 J / g) and zinc (m.p. = 419.6 °C, δHf = 107.5 J / g). The sample (about 2 mg) was sealed in a standard 40 μL aluminum pan, with a pinhole opened, and heated from 25 °C to 300 °C at a heating rate of 10 °C / min using a DSC. During the measurement, dry N2 gas with a flow rate of 50 mL / min was used to purge the DSC apparatus.
[0130] In the TGMS analysis of crystalline Form A, a 1.3% mass loss was shown between 40 °C and 200 °C due to residual ethanol / water. Thermal decomposition started above 200 °C. The DSC trace showed a single endothermic event at T peak (252.5 °C of T onset ). This corresponds to the melting of crystalline Form A. The TGMS thermogram of crystalline Form A is shown in Figure 4, and the DSC thermogram of crystalline Form A is shown in Figure 5.
[0131] In the TGMS analysis of crystalline Form B, based on the MS signal, a 15.8% mass loss was shown between 40 °C and 200 °C due to TFE and toluene. Thermal decomposition started above 200 °C. The DSC trace showed a broad endothermic event at T peak (156.1 °C of T onset ). This corresponds to the desolvation of crystalline Form B. The TGMS thermogram of crystalline Form B is shown in Figure 6, and the DSC thermogram of crystalline Form B is shown in Figure 7.
[0132] TGMS analysis of crystalline form C showed a mass loss of 13.5% due to water between 40 and 160 °C based on the MS signal. Thermal decomposition began above 160 °C. The DSC trace showed a broad endothermic event between 25 and 140 °C (T of 98.7 °C). peak , T of 84.7 °C onset ), which corresponds to the dehydration of crystalline form C. The TGMS thermogram of crystalline form B is shown in Figure 8, and the DSC thermogram of crystalline form B is shown in Figure 9.
[0133] Example 4 NMR spectroscopy At D2O 1 Compound integrity was characterized for psilocybin and psilocybin-psilocin polymorphs (crystalline forms A and B) using H-NMR spectroscopy. Spectra were recorded at room temperature on a 500 MHz instrument (Bruker BioSpin GmbH) using standard pulse sequences. Data were processed using ACD Labs software Spectrus Processor 2016.2.2 (Advanced Chemistry Development Inc., Canada).
[0134] Figure 10 shows the structure of crystal type A and psilocybin. 1 The H-NMR spectra of crystalline form A and psilocybin between 6 ppm and 7.5 ppm are shown in FIG. 1 H-NMR of crystalline form A, crystalline form B, and psilocybin are shown in FIG. 1 The H-NMR spectra of crystalline form A, crystalline form B, and psilocybin between 6 ppm and 7.5 ppm are shown in FIG. 1 The H-NMR spectra are overlaid.
[0135] Example 5 DVS analysis The moisture sorption isotherm was collected using a DVS Adventure system from Surface Measurement Systems (London, UK). The sample size was approximately 10 mg of solid material. The relative humidity was changed in 10% increments from 40% to 95% to 0% to 40% at a constant temperature of 25 °C to record the complete adsorption and desorption isotherms. The weight equilibrium per step was set at a dm / dt of 0.002% / min. Subsequently, the sample was measured by HT-XRPD.
[0136] Crystal Form A: The total mass difference from RH 0% to 95% was 3.6%, and the mass absorption at RH 80% was 2.4%. According to the EP hygroscopicity classification, this substance shows medium hygroscopicity. The solid recovered after DVS was analyzed by XRPD, and it was confirmed that PSY1 was physically stable after the adsorption-desorption cycle. The DVS isotherm of Crystal Form A is shown in Figure 14.
[0137] Crystal Form B: The total mass difference from RH 0% to 95% was 8.0%, and the mass absorption at RH 80% was 4.3%. According to the EP hygroscopicity classification, this substance shows medium hygroscopicity. The solid recovered after DVS was analyzed by XRPD, and it was confirmed that PSY5 was physically stable after the adsorption-desorption cycle. The DVS isotherm of Crystal Form B is shown in Figure 15.
[0138] Crystal Form C: The total mass difference from RH 0% to 95% was 16.4%, and the mass absorption at RH 80% was 1.8%. According to the EP hygroscopicity classification, this substance shows slight hygroscopicity. The solid recovered after DVS was analyzed by XRPD, and it was confirmed that Crystal Form C was physically stable after the adsorption-desorption cycle. The stepwise moisture absorption between RH 20% and 95% was 5.2%, which corresponds to 1.5 molecules of water. The DVS isotherm of Crystal Form B is shown in Figure 16.
[0139] Example 6 UPLC Analysis UPLC Analytical Method UPLC System: · UPLC: Agilent 1290 · Detector 1: Set the UV detector to 267 nm · Detector 2: MSD XT in positive scan mode UPLC conditions: · Autosampler temperature: Room temperature · Column: ACE Avanor C18 - PVP (100×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) · Column temperature: 40 °C · Gradient: · Mobile phase A: 0.7 grams of ammonium formate, 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution · Mobile phase B: 0.1% formic acid in methanol · Flow rate: 0.27 mL / min · Run time: 25 minutes · Gradient: Time [min]: Eluent A: Eluent B: 0 95% 5% 4 95% 5% 16.5 30% 70% 20 30% 70% 20.1 95% 5% 25 95% 5% Sample preparation · Concentration: Approximately 1.0 mg / mL · Solvent: Water: Acetonitrile (60:40 volume ratio) + 0.1% formic acid · Injection volume: 1 μL
[0140] Crystal A type: A reference solution of syrosine was prepared at a concentration of approximately 1 mg / mL. An approximately 2 mg / mL crystal A type solution was prepared with ACN / water (40 / 60 volume percent ratio) + 0.01% formic acid. The stoichiometry of crystal A type (syrobine:syrosine) was determined to be 1:1. The HPLC chromatogram is shown in Figure 17.
[0141] Crystal B type: A reference solution of syrosine was prepared at a concentration of approximately 1 mg / mL. An approximately 2 mg / mL crystal B type solution was prepared with ACN / water (40 / 60 volume percent ratio) + 0.01% formic acid. Applying the following formula (1), the stoichiometry of crystal B type (syrobine:syrosine) was determined to be 1.3:1. The HPLC chromatogram is shown in Figure 18.
[0142] Crystal Form C: A reference solution of syrosingopine was prepared at a concentration of about 1 mg / mL. A solution of crystal form C at about 2 mg / mL was prepared with ACN / water (40 / 60 volume percent ratio) + 0.01% formic acid. The stoichiometry of crystal form C (syrobirubin:syrosingopine) was determined to be 1:1. The HPLC chromatogram is shown in Figure 19.
[0143] Example 7 Crystal Structure High-Resolution Powder X-Ray Diffraction (HR-XRPD): The HR-XRPD data of crystal form A were collected on a D8 Advance diffractometer using Cu Kα1 radiation (1.54056 Å) with a germanium monochromator at room temperature. The diffraction data were collected in the 2θ range of 2.15° to 41.5°. The detector scan of the LynxEye detector for solids was performed using 0.0157° per step at a scan speed of 5 seconds / step. The sample was measured in a glass capillary with an outer diameter of 0.3 mm and a length of 8 mm. Before transferring to the capillary, the analyzed solid (from Example 1: experimental ID TCS2) was ground in an agate mortar until all visible crystals disappeared and the substance became a fine powder.
[0144] The lattice parameters and crystal system were obtained using the LSI-Index indexing program. The space group was selected based on the reflection conditions and density of the crystal. The lattice parameters, purity, and instrument parameters were refined using the Whole Powder Pattern Decomposition (WPPD) method.
[0145] This structure was analyzed using the simulated annealing technique implemented in TOPAS6. For both components of syrosingopine and syrobirubin, Z-Matrix models were created using cif files from the Cambridge Structural Data Base (CCDC1238288 for syrosingopine and CCDC2128419 for syrobirubin).
[0146] Rietveld analysis was performed using TOPAS6 (Bruker, 2017). All bond distances and angles were fixed, and only the rotation and translation of the molecule were possible, except for the following torsion angles (C6-O5-P4-O2, C16-C15-C13-C14, C25-C24-N23-C22, C26-C25-C24-N23).
[0147] The following fitting criteria were used. · Y o,m and Y c,m are the observed data and the calculated data at data point m, respectively. · M is the number of data points. · P is the number of parameters. · wm is the weight given to data point m, and in counting statistics, wm = 1 / σ(Y o,m ) 2 is given by, and σ(Y o,m ) is the error of Y o,m . [Number]
[0148] The structure was determined using the rigid body simulated annealing method so that both molecules could rotate and translate freely within the unit cell. Furthermore, the torsion angles of the phosphate and both amine groups were also treated as variables. After obtaining a chemically reasonable solution, the model was refined using the Rietveld algorithm.
[0149] Crystal A crystallized in the orthorhombic primitive space group based on the reflection conditions, and in the final result of simulated annealing, the space group P212121 was selected. Table 6 shows the final crystal and analysis data of the selected model. [Table 9]
[0150] The solution revealed that there is one cytosine - syrosinganine pair in the asymmetric unit without additional solvent or API molecules. All of the x, y, z positions of the atoms can be found. Figure 20 shows the molecular structure of crystalline form A cytosine - syrosinganine. It can be seen that the phosphate group of syrosinganine interacts directly with the N - amine atom of cytosine. The crystal is held together by an extensive network of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, in which all non - protonated O or N atoms function as acceptors and all N - H and O - H function as donors. Table 7 shows the geometry of all the hydrogen bonds found in the analyzed crystal.
Table 10
[0151] The hydrogen - bond network of crystalline form A forms a layered structure with intercalated layers composed of molecules of cytosine and syrosinganine. These layers are parallel to the ab plane, as shown in Figure 21.
[0152] Atomic coordinates and equivalent isotropic displacement parameters (Å 2x 10 3 ) of non - hydrogen atoms of form A are shown in Table 8. U(eq) is defined as one - third of the trace of the orthogonalized U ij tensor.

[0154] Figure 22 shows the graphical representation of the final cycle of the Rietveld analysis, and it is confirmed that the model fits very well with the collected diffraction pattern of crystalline form A.
[0155] Example 8 Ca 2+ Release assay The AequoScreen CHO-K1 cells that stably express h5HT2a contain the aequorin protein that can catalyze the decomposition of the coelenterazine molecule to generate light when binding to Ca 2+ . The level of light emitted is proportional to the endoplasmic reticulum calcium ion (Ca 2+ 2+) release. Before recording the chemiluminescence, the CHO-K1 cells were treated with each compound at 0.1 nM to 10 μM for 1 minute. Next, the obtained data was fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression to determine the potency (EC 50 ) and efficacy (E max ). The results are shown in Figure 23. The data was fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression of GraphPad (version 9). Independent experiments with n = 3 - 29 were performed in duplicates or triplicates. The data is presented as mean ± SEM. EC 50 and E max are reported in Table 10.
Table 13
[0156] Thyrosine is a potent activator of calcium ion (Ca 2+ 2+) release. Syrosingopine is clearly low in potency and efficacy. The 1:1 equimolar mixture of tyrosine and syrosingopine causes an intermediate Ca2+ release reaction between either compound alone.
[0157] Example 9 β-Arrestin 2 recruitment assay CHO-K1 cells express a fusion protein of h5HT2a-smBiT and β-arrestin 2-lgBiT. When h5HT2a and β-arrestin 2 come into contact with each other, the smBiT peptide and the lgBiT peptide complement each other, generating a complete NanoBit luciferase enzyme. Upon completion, the enzyme can catalyze the decomposition of the coelenterazine molecule to generate light. The level of light emitted is proportional to the interaction between h5HT2a and β-arrestin 2. CHO-K1 cells were treated with each compound at 0.1 nM to 10 μM for 2 hours, during which chemiluminescence was recorded. Next, the area under the curve data of the cumulative chemiluminescence was fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression to determine the potency (EC 50 ) and efficacy (E max ). The results are shown in Figure 24. The data were fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression using GraphPad (version 9). Independent experiments with n = 3 to 13 were performed in duplicates or triplicates. The data are presented as mean ± SEM. EC 50 and E max are reported in Table 11.
Table 14
[0158] Serotonin is an activator of β-arrestin 2 mobilization. Silibinin has no potency or efficacy. The potency of serotonin and silibinin is greater in the Ca 2+ release assay than in the β-arrestin 2 mobilization assay.
[0159] Example 10 β-Arrestin 2 Mobilization (Recruitment) Assay CHO-K1 cells stably expressing h5HT2a are grown, harvested, and frozen at -80°C. The cells are thawed as needed and subjected to pressure cavitation using a Dounce homogenizer to disrupt the cell membrane. Next, the cell lysate is centrifuged at 20,000 × g for 30 minutes at 4°C to collect the cell membrane. Homogenization and centrifugation are repeated to concentrate the sample of receptor-containing cell membrane. CHO-K1 cell membranes are at 1 nM 3Incubate with ketanserin and each compound at 0.1 nM to 10 μM for 2 hours. Next, pipette the sample onto filter paper, rinse, wash 3 times by vacuum filtration, dry, and incubate overnight in scintillation fluid. Residual bound radioactivity is then read on a liquid scintillation counter and normalized to the maximum LSD response (i.e., 0%). The data obtained are then fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression to determine the affinity (K i ). The results are shown in Figure 25. The data were fitted to a three-parameter non-linear regression using GraphPad (version 9). n = 3 - 6 independent experiments. Data are presented as mean ± SEM. EC 50 and E max are reported in Table 12.
Table 15
[0160] Example 11 Physiology: Catalepsy, Body Temperature, and Pain Sensation C57BL / 6 mice were treated with the indicated escalating doses of the compound by intraperitoneal injection. The tests were as follows: As a baseline, body temperature was measured before the first administration of the compound. Catalepsy - bar grip assay 10 minutes after compound administration. Mice were placed to grasp a 0.7 cm ring clamp positioned 4.5 cm above the surface of the test space with their forelimbs. Record the length of time (seconds) the ring is grasped. The test is terminated if the mouse changes the orientation of its head or body or attempts to escape 3 times consecutively within a maximum of 60 seconds. Pain Sensation - Immerse the mouse's tail in water at 52 °C 15 minutes after compound administration. Record the waiting time until the tail is removed from the water up to a maximum of 20 seconds. Body Temperature - Measure with a rectal thermometer 20 minutes after compound administration. The results are shown in Figure 26. The data were plotted using GraphPad (version 9). n ≥ 6 animals per dose. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
[0161] Psilocin and psilobin do not cause catalepsy. Neither drug, or combination thereof, is expected to cause freezing behavior or convulsions. Psilocin and psilobin cause hypothermia in a dose-dependent manner. Ultimately, psilocin at 1 mg / kg significantly reduces the peak of pain sensation.
[0162] Example 12 Rodent hallucination model: head-twitch response (HTR) C57BL / 6 mice were treated with the indicated escalating doses of the compound by intraperitoneal injection. The mice were placed in a transparent cylinder and video-recorded for 10 minutes immediately after compound administration. Head twitches were recorded by an individual blind to the treatment as lateral rhythmic head shakes distinct from grooming or vertical head nods. The results are shown in Figure 27. Data were plotted in GraphPad (version 9). Animals with n ≥ 3 individuals per dose. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
[0163] Psilocin and psilobin cause a time-dependent head-twitch response as a model of hallucination or dissociation in rodents. At several test doses, the peak effect was seen 3 - 4 minutes after compound administration. In contrast, the peak effect of LSD was seen approximately 7 minutes after administration.
[0164] Example 13 Increasing spontaneous locomotor activity: open field task (OFT) C57BL / 6 mice were treated with the indicated escalating doses of the compound by intraperitoneal injection. The mice were placed in an open field 30 minutes after compound administration. The size of the open field is 1 m × 1 m and the test lasts for 5 minutes. The total distance traveled, speed, and time spent in the central quadrant of the field are recorded and analyzed using EthoVision XT (Noldus, version 17). The results are shown in Figure 28. Data were plotted in GraphPad (version 9). Animals with n ≥ 4 individuals per dose. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
[0165] Sirocin and sirobine decreased movement, speed, and time required in the center of the open field in a dose-dependent manner. At the highest doses tested (i.e., 7 or 10 mg / kg), significant effects on movement and speed were observed, but no effect on the time required in the center.
[0166] Example 14 Recognition ability and anxiety: Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) C57BL / 6 mice were administered 3 mg / kg of the compound by intraperitoneal injection. Mice were placed in the EPM 30 minutes after compound administration. The size of the EPM is 1 m × 1 m, and the test continues for 5 minutes. The total distance moved, speed, number of arm entries, and time in each arm were recorded and analyzed using EthoVision XT (Noldus, version 17). The results are shown in Figure 29. The data were plotted in GraphPad (version 9). n = 3 - 5 animals per treatment. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
[0167] According to preliminary evidence requiring additional animals, intraperitoneal administration of 3 mg / kg sirocin significantly shortened the closed arm time (p = 0.029, independent t - test), but did not shorten the open arm time (p = 0.12, independent t - test). There was no significant difference in arm entries. The data, consistent with the OFT data, showed a tendency for overall movement and speed to decrease.
[0168] Example 15 Pharmacokinetics (PK) Silosine-D10 was prepared as an internal standard for the quantification of silosine in mouse plasma samples (Figure 30, upper left). The quantification of the compound was optimized for high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS / MS) (AB SciEx 4000 QTRAP®) with respect to voltage (Figure 30, upper right), organic solvents (80% methanol + 0.1% formic acid, 90% methanol + 0.1% formic acid, 100% methanol + 0.1% formic acid, 90% acetonitrile + 0.1% formic acid, or 100% methanol + 0.1% formic acid) (Figure 30, upper middle left), injection volume, and flow rate, and a standard curve was prepared (Figure 30, upper middle right). The selected organic solvent was 100% acetonitrile + 0.1% formic acid (red line in Figure 30, upper right). This is because the signal-to-noise ratio is the highest and the peak is the narrowest. The most effective injection volume and flow rate are 5 μL at 0.2 mL / min. The fragmentation pattern and mass-to-charge ratio (m / z) of silosine-D10 were determined (Figure 30, lower middle left). A standard curve for the detection of silosine in mouse plasma was prepared, and the upper and lower quality controls were set at 2.5 ng / mL and 400 ng / mL, respectively (Figure 30, lower middle right).
[0169] Example 16 Neurogenesis and Plasticity in Healthy Brain Organoids In three experiments, the effects of 16 nM, 50 nM, 160 nM, 500 nM, and 1600 nM of shirosibirine, silosine, or shirosibirine + silosine in a 1:1 molar ratio were measured after one exposure (6 hours later, followed by washing). Starting with control brain organoids, the results were verified in patient-derived organoids.
[0170] Three-month-old human brain organoids were exposed to an EdU pulse 6 hours after the final drug administration. Newborn neurons were quantified (e.g., EdU+ / NeuN+ / EdU+), and the degree of neurogenesis was determined. Ki67+ / Sox2+ co-labeling was used to study changes in the progenitor cell pool. EdU+ / NeuN+ / EdU+ data are shown in Figure 31, Ki67+ data are shown in Figure 32, and Sox2-positive cell data are shown in Figure 33.
[0171] Three-month-old organoids were exposed to silibinin, silychristin, or silibinin + silychristin at a 1:1 molar ratio for 6 hours, then dissected into small pieces and placed on Matrigel™ for 2 days. TUJ1 was used to label neurite outgrowth, and the length (μm) and number of branches were quantified. The results of neurite outgrowth are shown in Figure 34.
[0172] When silibinin + silychristin was administered in a 1:1 molar ratio combination, it was found that a single administration over 6 hours increased neurogenesis by approximately 20% and decreased proliferation to a similar extent. It was observed that the length of nerve cells was maximized 2 days after administration of silibinin + silychristin in a 1:1 molar ratio combination, reaching approximately twice as long as that in the case of silibinin alone at the highest dose.
[0173] The present invention has been described with reference to the above examples, but it will be understood that modifications and changes are possible within the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is limited only by the following claims.
