Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to methods for treating familial adenomatous polyposis using macrolide compounds. [Background technology]

[0002] Background of the Invention Familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAP) is characterized by the development of numerous nonmalignant adenomas (100–1,000) in the colon and rectum beginning during adolescence, which, if left untreated, eventually progress to colorectal cancer in middle age. Approximately 40% of patients typically experience clinical symptoms, such as rectal bleeding and associated anemia [1]. The disease is primarily caused by a deficiency in the activity of the familial adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein due to a germline mutation in the gene. Mutations are present in 80% of FAP patients and are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern [2–4]. Mutations can be insertions, deletions, or nonsense mutations that result in loss of function of the APC protein and are primarily located in the 5′ region of the 8.5 kb coding region [5, 6]. Premature stop codons in the APC gene are commonly caused by nonsense mutations (30%) or frameshift mutations (68%), resulting in the synthesis of truncated, dysfunctional proteins and contributing to the majority of FAP patients [2-5]. In addition to colorectal cancer, the absence of functional APC protein has been associated with a predisposition to other diseases, such as desmoid tumors and Turcot syndrome associated with brain tumors [7].

[0003] The APC gene encodes a large 312 kDa protein composed of multiple functional domains that are involved in cell division, adhesion, and cell polarization during embryonic development [8, 9]. The protein's general structure consists of four domains, which allow it to interact with other proteins, such as b-catenin, axin inhibitor protein (AXIN), and microtubule plus-end binding protein (EB1), to form an active complex [8-10]. APC acts as a tumor suppressor gene, negatively regulating the b-catenin / WNT signaling pathway by mediating the degradation of b-catenin in the cytoplasm

[11] . The central region of APC between codons 1284 and 1580 is called the mutation cluster region (MCR), and approximately 60% of all APC mutations occur in this region, most of which are nonsense or frameshift mutations that generate truncated proteins [2, 12, 13]. The MCR region is involved in the ubiquitination of b-catenin, and its loss leads to increased cytoplasmic levels of b-catenin [8, 9]. Subsequently, b-catenin translocates to the nucleus, resulting in increased nuclear levels and increased activation of b-catenin / WNT pathway genes, such as c-myc and other proto-oncogenes [14-16]. Somatic mutations in the APC gene occur in 80% of colon cancers, 30% of which are nonsense [3, 12]. These somatic mutations are known to play an important role in cancer development [12, 17].

[0004] FAP APC min The (multiple intestinal neoplasia) mouse model was developed by exposing C57BL / 6 mice to the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea and is a widely used disease model [18, 19]. The pathology is due to a nonsense mutation at codon 850 of the mouse homolog of the APC gene that results in a nonfunctional truncated protein [18, 20]. This mutation is similar to the mutation in the APC gene carried by human FAP patients

[21] . APC min The model is a heterozygous mutant mouse (homozygous APC minThe average lifespan is 119 days, and chronic anemia caused by intestinal polyps is the primary cause of death

[18] . min Mice develop numerous adenomas (approximately 30 / gastrointestinal tract), primarily located in the small intestine [18-20]. min Detectable in mice at 5 weeks of age, these early lesions appear as densely packed crypts with a morphology similar to that observed in low-grade colonic lesions seen in FAP patients [19, 21]. Accumulation of nuclear b-catenin was detected by immunohistochemistry in APC. min This can be observed in mouse adenomas

[19] . Furthermore, disruption of the nuclear translocation of b-catenin reduces the expression of genes that are transcriptionally co-regulated by b-catenin, such as c-myc, and leads to the development of APC. min It reduces polyp formation in mice.

[22]

[0005] Macrolides and other ribosome-targeting antibiotics have been shown to induce readthrough of premature stop codons in eukaryotic cells, leading to translation of full-length mRNA. A study by Zilberg et al.

[23] demonstrated that tylosin can suppress translation termination caused by nonsense mutations in the APC gene using colorectal cancer cell lines and an in vivo colon cancer model. Other studies have shown that gentamicin and erythromycin treatment also suppress nonsense mutations in the APC gene in human colon cancer cells, inhibit the in vivo growth of human colorectal xenografts carrying APC nonsense mutations in a mouse model of FAP, and reduce the number of intestinal polyps [23, 24]. Subsequently, in a clinical study of FAP patients carrying APC nonsense mutations, Kariv et al.

[25] demonstrated that erythromycin resulted in a reduction in adenoma burden. Recent studies using aminoglycosides have shown that these antibiotics promote readthrough of premature stop codons in the APC and cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator genes, resulting in partial alleviation of the disease state

[23] . In general, the extent of full-length functional protein induced by macrolide- and aminoglycoside-mediated readthrough ranges from 2–10% of normal levels, which has been shown to be sufficient to restore normal cellular function [26, 27]. However, aminoglycoside and macrolide antibiotics that have demonstrated readthrough effects have low efficacy, insufficient exposure to target tissues, and side effects that limit chronic administration, thus hindering their clinical use in FAP treatment [28-30].

[0006] As a result, there remains a need for new macrolide compounds for treating FAP. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Summary of the Invention This need and others are met by a method for treating FAP in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering to said patient a compound of Formula I: [ka] [During the ceremony, R 9a is H or optionally substituted C 1-6 alkyl; and R 10a is an optionally substituted heteroaryl. This is achieved by the present invention which is directed to a method comprising administering to a patient a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

[0009] Detailed Description of the Invention definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in practicing or testing the present invention, suitable methods and materials are described below. Furthermore, the materials, methods, and examples are merely illustrative and not intended to be limiting. All publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety, including U.S. Patent No. 2013 / 0090326. In case of conflict, the present specification, including these definitions, will control.

[0010] As used herein, the terms "singular," "a," "an," and similar expressions include not only embodiments having one member but also embodiments having multiple members. Thus, singular, "a," "an," and similar expressions can mean one or more, unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise clear from the context. A claim or description including "or" between one or more members of a group is deemed satisfied when one, more than one, or all of the members of the group are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process, unless indicated to the contrary or otherwise clear from the context. The invention includes embodiments in which only one member of the group is present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process. The invention includes embodiments in which more than one or all of the members of the group are present in, employed in, or otherwise relevant to a given product or process.

[0011] As used herein, the term "about" means "approximately" and is used to modify a numerical value and indicate a defined range around that value. When "X" is a value, "about X" typically refers to a value from 0.95X to 1.05X. Reference to "about X" specifically refers to values ​​of at least X, 0.95X, 0.96X, 0.97X, 0.98X, 0.99X, 1.01X, 1.02X, 1.03X, 1.04X, and 1.05X. Thus, "about X" is intended to provide instruction and descriptive support for a claim limitation, such as "0.98X." When the quantity "X" includes only integer values ​​(e.g., "X carbons"), "about X" refers to (X-1) to (X+1). In this case, "about X" as used herein specifically refers to at least the values ​​X, X-1, and X+1.

[0012] When "about" is applied to the beginning of a numerical range, it applies to both ends of the range. Thus, "about 5 to 20%" is equivalent to "about 5% to about 20%." When "about" is applied to the first value in a set of numerical values, it applies to every value in that set. Thus, "about 7, 9, or 11%" is equivalent to "about 7%, about 9%, or about 11%."

[0013] The following abbreviations and terms have the indicated meanings throughout: [Table 1-1] [Table 1-2]

[0014] The symbol "-" means a single bond, "=" means a double bond, and "≡" means a triple bond. [ka] means a single or double bond. [ka] refers to a group on a double bond occupying either position on the end of the double bond to which the symbol is attached; i.e., the geometry of the double bond, E- or Z-, is ambiguous. When a group is shown removed from its parent structural formula, the symbol "~" is used at the end of the theoretically broken bond to separate the group from its parent structural formula.

[0015] When chemical structures are shown or described, unless otherwise explicitly stated, all carbon atoms are assumed to be hydrogen-substituted to match tetravalent.For example, in the structure on the left side of the schematic diagram below, nine hydrogen atoms are implied.These nine hydrogen atoms are shown in the structure on the right side.A specific atom in a structural formula may be described in the structural formula as a letter, with hydrogen atoms as substitutions (explicitly defined hydrogen atoms), for example, -CH2CH2-.Those skilled in the art will understand that the above-mentioned description technique is common in the chemical field to simplify and simplify the description of complex structures. [ka]

[0016] For example, the following expression: [ka] As used herein, when a group "R" is shown as "floating" on a ring system, unless otherwise defined, the substituent "R" may be present on any atom of the ring system and may be assumed to replace a shown, implied, or explicitly defined hydrogen from one of the ring atoms so long as a stable structure is created.

[0017] For example, the following expression: [ka] As in, when the group "R" is shown as floating on a fused or bridged ring system, unless otherwise defined, the substituent "R" can be present on any atom of the fused or bridged ring system and can be assumed to replace a shown hydrogen (e.g., -NH- in the formula above), an implied hydrogen (e.g., in the formula above when a hydrogen is not shown but is understood to be present), or an explicitly defined hydrogen (e.g., in the formula above when "Z" equals =CH-) from one of the ring atoms so long as a stable structure is formed. In the example shown, the "R" group can be present on either the 5-membered or 6-membered ring of the fused or bridged ring system.

[0018] When the group "R" is shown as being on a ring system containing saturated carbons, for example, as in the formula: [ka] (wherein, in this example, "y" can be a number greater than 1), each intended to replace a hydrogen on the ring indicated, implied, or explicitly defined therein; unless otherwise defined, two "R"s can be present on the same carbon when the resulting structure is stable. In another example, two Rs on the same carbon can form a ring with that carbon, thereby forming, for example, a ring of the following formula: [ka] Spiro ring structures can be formed with the depicted rings such as in:

[0019] As used herein, the term "alkyl" includes an aliphatic hydrocarbon chain that may be straight or branched.

[0049] A "therapeutically effective amount" is an amount of a compound of the present invention that, when administered to a patient, ameliorates the symptoms of a disease. The amount of a compound of the present invention that constitutes a "therapeutically effective amount" varies depending on the compound, the disease state and its severity, the age of the patient being treated, and the like. One of ordinary skill in the art, having regard to their knowledge and this disclosure, can routinely determine a therapeutically effective amount.

[0050] The term "genetic disease" as used herein means a genetic disorder, genetic disease, genetic condition or genetic syndrome.

[0051] "Prevention" of a disease, disorder, or syndrome includes inhibiting the occurrence of the disease in humans, i.e., preventing the clinical symptoms of the disease, disorder, or syndrome from developing in animals that may be exposed to or predisposed to the disease, disorder, or syndrome but have not yet experienced or exhibited the disease, disorder, or syndrome.

[0052] "Treating" a disease, disorder, or syndrome, as used herein, includes (i) inhibiting the disease, disorder, or syndrome, i.e., arresting its progression; and (ii) alleviating the disease, disorder, or syndrome, i.e., causing regression of the disease, disorder, or syndrome. As known in the art, adjustments for systemic versus local delivery, age, weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, drug interactions, and severity of the condition may be necessary and ascertainable with routine experimentation by one of ordinary skill in the art.

[0053] "FAP" refers to an autosomal dominant condition characterized by the formation of numerous adenomatous polyps, primarily in the epithelium of the large intestine. These polyps are initially benign, but if left untreated, they can transform into colon cancer. Three variants are known to exist: FAP, attenuated FAP (originally called hereditary flat adenomatous polyposis syndrome), and autosomal recessive FAP (originally called MUTYH-associated polyposis). FAP and attenuated FAP are caused by defects in the APC gene on chromosome 5, while autosomal recessive FAP is caused by defects in the MUTYH gene on chromosome 1. Of the three, FAP itself is the most severe and common; however, in all three, the resulting colon polyps and cancer are initially confined to the colon wall. Detection and removal before they spread outside the colon can significantly reduce and often eliminate the cancer's spread.

Acceptable vehicles and solvents that can be used include water, Ringer's solution, USP, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. Additionally, sterile fixed oils are conventionally used as solvents or suspending media. For this purpose, bland fixed oils, including synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides, can be used. Additionally, fatty acids such as oleic acid are also used in the preparation of injectables. Injectable preparations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents into the form of sterile solid compositions that can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable media prior to use.

[0115] Sterile injectable compositions, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions, can be formulated according to techniques known in the art using suitable dispersing or wetting agents (e.g., Tween 80) and suspending agents.

In addition, sterile fixed oils are conventionally used as solvents or suspending media (e.g., synthetic monoglycerides or diglycerides). Fatty acids, such as oleic acid and its glyceride derivatives, are useful in the preparation of injectables, as are pharmaceutically acceptable natural oils, such as olive oil or castor oil, especially their polyoxyethylated versions. These oil solutions or suspensions can also contain long-chain alcohol diluents or dispersants, or carboxymethylcellulose or similar dispersing agents. Other commonly used surfactants such as Tween or Span, or other similar emulsifiers or bioavailability enhancers commonly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutically acceptable solid, liquid, or other dosage forms, may also be used for formulation purposes.

[0116] To prolong the effect of a drug, it is often desirable to delay the absorption of the drug from subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This can be achieved by using a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous substances with poor water solubility. The rate of drug absorption depends on the dissolution rate, which may depend on the size and crystalline form of the crystals. Alternatively, delayed absorption of parenterally administered drug forms can be achieved by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

[0117] Compositions for rectal or vaginal administration are generally suppositories, which can be prepared by mixing a conjugate of the invention with a suitable non-irritating excipient or carrier, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, or a suppository wax, which is solid at ambient temperature but liquid at body temperature, and therefore will melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active ingredient.

[0118] Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient is mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier such as sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate and / or a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; b) binders such as, for example, carboxymethylcellulose, alginic acid, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidinone, sucrose, and acacia; c) humectants such as glycerol; d) disintegrating agents such as agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicic acids, and sodium carbonate; e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin; f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; g) humectants such as, for example, cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate; h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; and i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof. In the case of capsules, tablets and pills, the dosage form may comprise buffering agents.

[0119] Solid compositions of a similar type can be used as fillers in soft- and hard-filled gelatin capsules using additives such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols. Solid dosage forms such as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. These can optionally contain opacifying agents and can be of a composition that releases the active ingredient only, or preferentially, in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally in a delayed release manner. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes. Solid compositions of a similar type can be used as fillers in soft- and hard-filled gelatin capsules using additives such as lactose or milk sugar and high molecular weight polyethylene glycols.

[0120] Orally available pharmaceutical compositions include push-fit capsules made of gelatin and soft, sealed capsules made of gelatin and a plasticizer such as glycerol or sorbitol. Push-fit capsules may contain the active ingredient mixed with a filler such as lactose, a binder such as starch, a lubricant such as talc or magnesium stearate, and optionally a stabilizer. In soft capsules, the compounds described herein may be dissolved or suspended in a suitable liquid such as fatty oils, liquid paraffin, or liquid polyethylene glycol. Additionally, stabilizers may be added. All formulations for oral administration are in dosages appropriate for the selected administration route.

[0121] The sugar-coated core is provided with a suitable coating. For this purpose, concentrated sugar solutions, which may optionally contain gum arabic, talc, polyvinylpyrrolidone, carbopol gel, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, lacquer solutions, and suitable organic solvents or solvent mixtures, can be used. Dyes or pigments can be added to the tablets or sugar-coated coatings for identification or to characterize various combinations of aminoglycoside compound effective doses.

[0122] The active ingredient may be in microencapsulated form with one or more additives, as described above. Solid dosage forms such as tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules can be prepared with coatings and shells, such as enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulation art. In such solid dosage forms, the active ingredient may be mixed with at least one inert diluent, such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. These dosage forms may, as is customary, contain additional substances other than inert diluents, such as tableting lubricants and other tableting aids, such as magnesium stearate and microcrystalline cellulose. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms may contain buffering agents. These may optionally contain opacifying agents and may be of a composition that releases the active ingredient only or preferentially in a certain part of the intestinal tract, optionally with delayed release. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used include polymeric substances and waxes.

[0123] Dosage forms for topical and / or transdermal administration of the compounds of the present invention include ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, powders, solutions, sprays, inhalants, and / or patches. Generally, the active ingredient is mixed under sterile conditions with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and / or any necessary preservatives and / or required buffers. In addition, the use of transdermal patches is contemplated, which often has the additional advantage of providing controlled delivery of the active ingredient to the body. Such dosage forms can be prepared, for example, by dissolving and / or dispersing the active ingredient in a suitable medium.

[0196] Biological Examples A series of macrolide compounds was prepared to target mammalian ribosomes and regulate the readthrough of premature stop codons. In this study, we explored the possibility that 13-membered macrolides could induce readthrough of the premature stop codon in the APC gene.

[0197] Human colorectal cancer SW403 and SW1417 cells harboring PTC mutations in the APC gene treated with the 13-membered macrolides disclosed herein exhibited reduced levels of nuclear b-catenin and c-myc, indicating that the macrolides mediated readthrough of premature termination codons and produced bioactive APC protein that suppressed the b-catenin / Wnt pathway. In a mouse model of adenomatous polyposis coli, APC min Treatment of mice with the macrolides disclosed herein significantly reduced intestinal polyps, adenomas, and associated anemia, resulting in prolonged survival. min Decreased nuclear b-catenin staining in epithelial cells of mouse polyps was demonstrated, confirming an effect on the b-catenin / Wnt pathway. These results indicate that the macrolides disclosed herein may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of FAP caused by nonsense mutations in the APC gene.

[0198] material and method cell line Human colon cancer cells SW1417 and SW403 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD, USA). Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM high glucose with GlutaMAX, Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco) and maintained at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. Cells were passaged weekly with trypsin.

[0199] Cell proliferation inhibition Western blot Cells, 4x10 6 Cells were plated at a density of 100 cells / 100 mm dish. After 48 hours, cells were treated with either DMSO or a compound of the present invention (50 mM) listed in Table A. After 48 hours of treatment, cell pellets were harvested and divided into two aliquots. One aliquot was used to prepare whole-cell lysates (RIPA lysis and extraction buffer, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and the other was used to prepare nuclear and cytoplasmic protein extracts (NE-PER Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Reagents, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Proteins were separated on a 4-12% gradient gel (NuPAGE Bis-Tris Protein Gel, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific) using SDS running buffer (NuPAGE MES SDS running buffer, Invitrogen). Primary antibodies used included non-phosphorylated b-catenin (Ser33 / 37 / Thr41) (1:1000, catalog 8814, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA): c-myc (1:1000, catalog ab32072, Abcam, Waltham, MA), MEK1 / 2 (1:1000, catalog 8727, Cell Signaling Technology), histone H3 (1:1000, catalog 4499, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and a-tubulin (1:10,000, catalog T6199, MilliporeSigma, Burlington, MA).

[0200] Animal experiments Pharmacokinetic studies were performed at WuXi AppTec Laboratory Testing Division (Cranbury, NJ) on male CD-1 mice aged 6-8 weeks obtained from Hilltop Lab Animals, Inc. (Scottdale, PA). Mice had free access to water and rodent chow pellets (LabDiet, Certified Rodent Diet #5002). Animals received a single oral dose of a compound of the present invention (100 mg / kg body weight) listed in Table A from a sterile stock solution in saline. Blood samples were collected from a peripheral vein into EDTA tubes and processed for plasma at 0.083, 0.250, 0.500, 1.00, 2.00, 4.00, 8.00, and 24.0 hours post-dose. After the final blood draw, mice were euthanized, and the hair on their backs was shaved and 1 cm 2 Skin samples were excised and weighed. 2 cm sections of jejunum were harvested, rinsed with saline, and weighed. Tissue samples and plasma were stored at -70°C. Thawed skin samples were minced, extracted with acetonitrile, centrifuged at 3000 x g, and the supernatant was collected for LC-MS / MS analysis. Water was added to the thawed intestinal tissue at a ratio of 6:1 (ml water / mg tissue), homogenized, and processed for LC-MS / MS analysis. Plasma, jejunal homogenates, and skin / acetonitrile samples were analyzed using a SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ LC-MS / MS system (SCIEX, Framingham, MA). Briefly, proteins were precipitated using IS solution (100 ng / mL labetanol and 100 ng / mL tolbutamide in acetonitrile) and centrifuged at 3900 x g. The supernatant was mixed with an equal volume of water, and 2.00–4.00 mL was injected for LC-MS / MS analysis. A calibration curve ranging from 1.00–3000 ng / mL was generated using corresponding tissue preparations from naive CD-1 mice. Data analysis was performed using Phoenix WinNonlin software (Certara, Princeton, NJ).

[0201] C57BL / 6 system APC min Mice were obtained from the Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME) and were female APCs aged 10 weeks and weighing more than 15 g. min Mice were used. Mice were housed in individually ventilated cage systems and had free access to sterile rodent chow (Teklad 2919) and water. Clinical observations and body weights were recorded daily, and mice with weight loss exceeding 20% ​​were excluded from the study. The study was conducted in compliance with the UK Animals Scientific Procedures Act 1986 and carried out at Crown Biosciences UK Ltd (Loughborough, UK). Compounds were prepared in sterile saline at a working concentration of 5 mg / ml. Mice were orally administered compound (50 mg, 25 mg, or 12.5 mg / kg body weight) or saline daily for 8 weeks. Drugs were well tolerated, and no adverse events were observed. When animals became moribund or at the end of the study, mice were euthanized, a complete necropsy was performed, spleens were weighed, and the complete intestinal tract was removed for analysis. Whole blood was collected into EDTA tubes and complete blood counts (CBC) were performed on a Woodley InSight 5 Diff Retic Haematology Analyzer and compared with normal mouse CBC ranges (Pinmoore Animal Laboratory Services Limited, Cheshire, UK).

[0202] Polyp scoring, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. The excised intestinal tracts (small and large intestines) were washed with PBS and sliced ​​longitudinally. 10-cm sections were visually inspected and polyps were counted. Midline sections of the small intestine were fixed in 10% formalin, formed into Swiss rolls, and processed into FFPE blocks. 4-mm sections were used for analysis. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was performed using a Tissue-Tek Prisma Plus autostainer (Sakura Finetek USA, Torrance, CA). Sections were scanned at 40x magnification using Pannoramic Digital Slide Scanners (3DHISTECH, Pannoramic SCAN, Budapest, Hungary). Analysis and quantification of H&E-stained slides were performed using HALO Image Analysis software (Indica Labs, Albuquerque, NM, USA). Lesions were identified based on the nuclear-to-cytoplasmic staining ratio, and lesion area was calculated (percent lesion area = lesion area / small intestine area × 100) [31, 32]. Adenomatous areas were identified by a board-certified pathologist. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on sections from FFPE blocks using the Leica BOND-RXm Automated Stainer (Deer Park, IL, USA) with the following antigen retrieval conditions: citric acid, pH 6.0; 100°C; 20 min; primary antibody at a 1:100 dilution. Rabbit IgG mAb against b-catenin was obtained from Cell Signaling Technology. Polyclonal anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to horseradish peroxidase was used for detection (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL, USA). Nonspecific rabbit IgG (Abcam) was used as an isotype control. Sections were rinsed and counterstained with H&E.

[0203] statistical analysis GraphPad Prism software version 9 (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA) was used for data analysis and graphing. Mean values ​​were plotted, with standard deviations (SD) and standard errors of the mean (SEM) indicated by bars. An unpaired student t-test was used to compare means between treatment and control groups. For survival analysis, the log-rank test was used to determine significance between control and treatment groups. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.

[0204] result Compound-induced growth inhibition of human colon cancer cells. Ribosome-targeting antibiotics that promote readthrough of premature stop codons can suppress the growth of tumor cells harboring nonsense mutations in the APC gene via downregulation of b-catenin / c-myc signaling [23, 24, 33]. SW1417 and SW403 human colon cancer cells harbor nonsense mutations in the APC gene (R1450* and S1278*, respectively) that result in nonfunctional truncated APC proteins, while HCT116 human colon cancer cells harbor wild-type APC genes

[17] . Growth inhibition assays were performed on these three tumor cell lines to evaluate the antiproliferative activity of the compounds disclosed herein. Tumor cells were cultured in the presence of titrated concentrations of the compounds disclosed herein, and the drug concentrations that inhibited cell growth by 50% (GI50) compared to vehicle-treated cells are shown in Table 1 (Figure 1). This compound did not affect the proliferation of HCT116 cells at all concentrations tested (up to 100 mM), and the GI50 of SW1417 and SW403 cells was 34.8 mM and 39.8 mM, respectively.

[0205] Treatment of human colon cancer cells with the compounds disclosed herein results in a decrease in the levels of nuclear b-catenin and c-myc. Adenomatous polyposis coli is a large, complex protein (312 kDa) that directly mediates the ubiquitin degradation of phosphorylated b-catenin in the cytoplasm

[34] . In the absence of APC activity, nuclear translocation of b-catenin increases. Therefore, the amount of nuclear b-catenin relative to the amount of cytoplasmic b-catenin is used as an indicator of the level of functional APC, especially since there are no reliable commercially available antibodies for detecting APC [35, 36]. SW403 and SW1417 cells were treated with 50 mM compounds for 48 hours, and the amount of b-catenin in nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts was measured by Western blot. As shown in Figure 1 (Figure 3), colon cancer cells showed a significant decrease in nuclear b-catenin accumulation in response to compound exposure. Nuclear levels of b-catenin were reduced by 40% in SW1417 and SW403-treated cells compared to DMSO-treated cells. This indicates that compound-mediated readthrough of the APC nonsense mutation resulted in increased levels of functional APC. Cytoplasmic levels of b-catenin were similar in cells treated with DMSO or the compounds.

[0206] c-myc gene expression is transcriptionally co-regulated by b-catenin [8, 37]. As shown in Figure 2 (Figure 4), treatment with the compounds of the present invention listed in Table A (50 mM, 48 hours) reduced c-myc protein levels by 25% in SW1417 cells and by 30% in SW403 cells compared to cells treated with DMSO. This provides further evidence that compound treatment increases the level of activated APC, promotes the cytoplasmic degradation of b-catenin, reduces the nuclear level of b-catenin, and consequently reduces c-myc expression.

[0207] Treatment with the compounds disclosed herein reduces APC min Improves mouse survival and reduces the anemic phenotype. A single-dose mouse study was conducted to determine the pharmacokinetics and exposure of the compounds disclosed herein in intestinal tissues after oral administration. Male CD-1 mice (n = 3) were orally administered the compound at 100 mg / kg body weight, and drug plasma levels were measured at several time points over a 24-hour period. The results are summarized in Table 2 (Figure 2). The mean plasma C-max was 1307 ng / ml (±430 SD), peaking approximately 15 minutes after administration. At the end of the 24-hour study, the mean plasma level of the compound was 44.7 ng / ml, and the mean drug concentration in the jejunum was 24,383 ng / g tissue. This data indicates that the compound can achieve an intestinal exposure of approximately 35 mM following a single oral dose, potentially impacting disease progression. The observed plasma half-life, effective tissue penetration, and high tissue-to-plasma concentration ratio are consistent with the pharmacokinetics of macrolide drugs

[38] .

[0208] A well-established model of FAP is the APC gene, which contains a nonsense mutation in the human APC homolog (min) gene, generating a nonfunctional truncated protein. min APC min Mice develop numerous small intestinal adenomas as a primary phenotype, anemia as a secondary phenotype, and are lethal with an average lifespan of 120 days [18-20]. min In mice, the majority of adenomas are present, and the number of adenomas does not increase significantly thereafter.

[39] In an 8-week efficacy study, APC min Mice were orally administered a compound disclosed herein (50 mg / kg body weight) or vehicle saline daily. Three weeks into the study, mice in the vehicle control group began to show severe clinical signs of disease progression, forcing the study to be discontinued. Only five vehicle-treated mice (50%) remained in the study at the end of the study. In contrast, all compound-treated mice remained in the study for the entire duration. Similar efficacy results were obtained in replicate studies using daily oral doses of 50, 25, and 12.5 mg / kg body weight of the compound, with 100% survival achieved at the lowest dose used in the 8-week study. APC minAnemia resulting from chronic blood loss due to numerous intestinal lesions in mice is believed to be the main cause of animal death

[18] . Compound treatment reduced APC in mice at all three dose levels tested, as indicated by a reduction of splenomegaly by approximately 35%, an increase in hemoglobin levels (approximately 45%), an increase in packed cell volume (approximately 55%), and an increase in red blood cell count (approximately 60%). min The anemia associated with the model was significantly improved (Figure 3B) (Figure 5B). min Clinical observations consistent with the model were reported in both groups, and weight gain was comparable between vehicle and treatment groups throughout the study period.

[0209] Compound treatment increased APC min Dysplastic intestinal polyps and lesion area were reduced in mice. When mice became moribund or at the end of the study in which mice were treated with 50 mg / kg bw of a compound disclosed herein, the entire gastrointestinal track was removed and polyps were manually counted. The total number of visible polyps in the small intestines of mice treated with the compound was significantly lower than that of control mice, with a 39% reduction in polyp counts (Figure 4A) (Figure 6A). Few polyps were detected in the large intestines of either group of mice, which is characteristic of this model (data not shown). Hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections from the small intestines of control and compound-treated mice are shown in Figure 4B and were used for histopathological analysis. In compound-treated mice, the total lesion area (polyps, adenomas, and carcinomas) was reduced by 52%, and the adenoma area was also reduced by 60% (Figure 4B) (Figure 6B). Immunohistochemistry, shown in Figure 5 (Figure 7), revealed prominent nuclear b-catenin staining in numerous epithelial cells in the lesions of saline-treated mice. In the lesions of compound-treated mice, significantly fewer epithelial cells displayed nuclear b-catenin staining; many epithelial cells in these lesions displayed membrane-associated b-catenin staining and retained their columnar morphology (Figure 5) (Figure 7).

[0210] Consideration Recent studies have shown that nonsense mutation readthrough can be induced in human cancer cells by several macrolide and aminoglycoside antibiotics, partially restoring the synthesis of functional full-length proteins such as p53 and APC [23, 24, 40, 41]. The primary role of APC as a tumor suppressor is to form a core complex with Axin, the Ser / Thr kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3, and casein kinase 1 for ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of cytoplasmic b-catenin

[34] . This results in decreased nuclear translocation of b-catenin and reduced transcription of b-catenin / WNT pathway genes, including oncogenic c-myc [16, 34]. The APC protein is composed of multiple functional domains. The regions between amino acids 1020–1169 and 1342–2075 are essential for b-catenin binding and degradation [8–10]. Nonsense mutations often result in the synthesis of truncated APC proteins lacking these domains that are unable to mediate the degradation of b-catenin.

[0211] Aminoglycoside- and macrolide-induced readthrough generally results in a recovery of 2–10% of normal protein levels. It has been reported that this amount of full-length protein is sufficient to restore APC function

[40] . However, traditional antibody-based methods have difficulty detecting small amounts of large proteins such as APC. Recently, the sensitivity and specificity of commercially available anti-APC antibodies have been questioned. Therefore, we quantified the relative levels of cytoplasmic and nuclear b-catenin as an indicator of functional activity of the APC protein

[36] . Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry showed that human colon cancer cells containing nonsense mutations in the APC gene and APC minWe found evidence that treatment of mouse adenomatous epithelial cells with the compounds of the present invention listed in Table A resulted in a decrease in nuclear b-catenin. Furthermore, in colon cancer cells, this decrease in nuclear b-catenin subsequently led to a decrease in c-myc protein levels and inhibition of cell proliferation. This is consistent with other studies in which treatment of cultured colorectal cancer cells containing APC nonsense mutations with macrolide antibiotics and aminoglycosides resulted in a decrease in cell proliferation and nuclear b-catenin levels [23, 24, 33]. In these studies, treatment of SW1417 colon cancer cells with tylosin promoted some readthrough of the nonsense mutation, leading to the synthesis of low levels of full-length, active APC protein

[23] . In a study aimed at assessing aminoglycoside-mediated readthrough of several APC nonsense mutations, Floquet et al. utilized a luciferase-based reporter vector to measure the interaction of active APC with b-catenin and showed that the L360X stop codon was most susceptible to gentamicin-mediated readthrough

[40] . This indirect approach alleviated the potential difficulty of detecting low levels of APC protein that may be sufficient for biological activity but cannot be detected by Western blotting

[40] . Restoring even 1% of normal protein function may be sufficient to reduce the severity of diseases associated with APC dysfunction.

[0212] APC min In certain animal models of disease associated with inactive APC, such as mouse or human colon cancer tumor xenografts, inhibition of premature translation termination of APC mRNA has been shown to ameliorate the disease in terms of reducing intestinal polyps and inhibiting tumor growth [23, 24]. min Similar results were obtained from in vivo studies using models, where we demonstrate that treatment with the novel macrolide compounds of the present invention as set forth in Table A reduced the number of intestinal polyps and inhibited the neoplastic development of intestinal lesions. Furthermore, APCs treated with the compounds of the present invention as set forth in Table A min100% of the mice survived the 8-week study without overt clinical signs of disease. In the control group, adverse clinical findings were observed by the third week of the study, with only 50% of the vehicle-treated mice remaining at the end of the study. Furthermore, compound treatment reduced the number of visible polyps in the small intestine by 39%, which was consistent with anemia and treatment APC. min It is the main factor in mouse survival.

[20] Subsequent dose-response studies showed that APC min All doses of the compound tested in mice were effective. Even the lowest daily dose of 12.5 mg / kg bw reduced anemia and contributed to long-term survival, as indicated by a 43% increase in hemoglobin levels and a 41% reduction in splenomegaly. Our in vivo studies demonstrated that older APCs, at an age where intestinal adenomas are pre-existing, min It is important to note that this study utilized mice; thus, providing reasonable support for the therapeutic use of the compounds of the present invention described in Table A for the treatment of FAP. In addition to its nuclear function, b-catenin is also an important part of membrane adherens junctions, where it associates with E-cadherin (PMID: 26240067). Dysregulation of the Wnt pathway, leading to increased nuclear localization of b-catenin, also results in decreased cell-cell adhesion and cell loss from villi (PMID: 26240067). As shown in Figure 5, many epithelial cells in adenomas from compound-treated mice have a conventional columnar morphology and exhibit b-catenin staining aligned along the cell membrane. We also observed increased levels of e-cadherin associated with the epithelial cell membranes in adenomas from compound-treated mice (data not shown). Taken together, compound treatment can enhance differentiation, as suggested by increased levels of membrane-bound b-catenin and e-cadherin, which form adherens junctions, and may slow or reverse disease progression

[42] .

[0213] In eukaryotic cells, macrolide antibiotics target the proximal region of the nascent peptide exit tunnel of the large ribosomal subunit, disrupting the peptidyl transferase center and slowing nascent polypeptide synthesis. This stall allows a near-cognate tRNA amino acid to be inserted at the site of a premature termination codon, allowing translation to continue [43, 44]. Conventional macrolide antibiotics that exhibit readthrough activity are unsuitable for the chronic administration required to treat FAP patients. Long-term use of these conventional macrolide antibiotics can cause cardiotoxicity and hepatotoxicity. These toxicities are related to macrolide-mediated inhibition of the hERG potassium channel in cardiomyocytes and the bile salt export pump (BSEP) in hepatocytes [28-30, 45-47]. We have developed and optimized the novel macrolides disclosed herein with enhanced specificity for mammalian ribosomes and minimal off-target inhibition of hERG or BSEP activity (data not shown). Furthermore, our pharmacokinetic data demonstrate that the compounds disclosed herein can penetrate and effectively accumulate in intestinal tissues after a single oral dose. This pharmacological profile, with improved efficacy, minimal off-target activity, and appropriate target tissue exposure, supports the application of the compounds disclosed herein for the chronic treatment of FAP patients.

[0214] Our findings demonstrate that the macrolides disclosed herein can suppress premature protein translation termination induced by nonsense mutations in the APC gene, resulting in the restoration of active APC protein. In vitro, treatment with the compounds disclosed herein restored APC function in human colon cancer cells harboring known nonsense mutations in the APC gene. This was demonstrated by reduced b-catenin levels in the nuclei of SW403 and SW1417 colon cancer cells treated with the compounds disclosed herein, indicating APC-mediated degradation of cytoplasmic b-catenin. Furthermore, protein levels of c-myc, a downstream target of the b-catenin / Wnt pathway, were reduced in SW1417 and SW403 cells treated as disclosed herein. These results provide strong evidence that the compounds disclosed herein promote nonsense codon readthrough and restore functional APC protein. The in vivo efficacy of the compounds disclosed herein was demonstrated in APC cells treated at an age when polyps are already present. min This has been demonstrated in a FAP model. Treatment with the compounds disclosed herein significantly reduced the number of intestinal polyps and adenomatous tissues in these mice, alleviating the anemia associated with the model and leading to improved survival rates. Furthermore, immunopathology showed that many epithelial cells in the lesions of mice treated with the compounds disclosed herein had reduced nuclear b-catenin levels, increased membrane-bound b-catenin, and a more differentiated morphology. Taken together, our findings provide preclinical support for evaluating the therapeutic value of long-term use of the compounds disclosed herein for the treatment of FAP patients.
