Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to annexin A1 (AnxA1) N-terminal peptides for use in treating ischemic conditions and / or reperfusion injury, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such annexin A1 (AnxA1) N-terminal peptides, wherein three doses of the AnxA1 N-terminal peptide are administered to a human subject within 24 hours of reperfusion. [Background technology]

[0002] The annexin superfamily consists of 13 calcium-phospholipid-binding proteins with significant biological and structural homology. Annexins are structurally divided into a highly conserved core domain and a variable N-terminal domain. Annexin A1 (ANXA1, 37 kDa, SEQ ID NO: 1) is an anti-inflammatory protein that inhibits the extravasation of blood-borne polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) into surrounding tissues. This protein binds to the N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR)2 or FPR-L1 receptor, where it initiates a series of signaling events. Following inflammatory stimuli, blood-borne PMNs migrate into surrounding tissues. PMN migration or extravasation is regulated by mediators such as adhesion molecules, cytokines, and proteases, which control pro- and anti-inflammatory processes. PMNs have a high destructive potential and potentially self-damage. Therefore, controlling PMN extravasation and inflammatory responses is important.

[0003] For therapeutic purposes as an anti-inflammatory agent, the complete annexin A1 protein has many drawbacks compared to its functional fragments or modified forms. When used to treat ocular inflammation, where the large size of the protein makes delivery by techniques (e.g., transdermal or transmucosal) more difficult than with smaller polypeptides, the smaller the molecular size, the better its penetration into the corneal epithelium is expected. Furthermore, susceptibility to proteolysis is a particular concern for all peptide pharmaceuticals, especially larger ones, and especially when oral delivery (preferred by many patients) is intended.

[0004] Although several annexin A1 derivatives lacking key N-terminal regions of the polypeptide have been shown to lack significant activity in several assays of inflammation and mediator release, full-length N-terminal N-acetyl annexin A1 has been shown to be biologically active in several systems. Several peptides derived primarily from the unique N-terminal portion of the annexin A1 protein have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. One of the most extensively studied annexin A1 peptides is peptide Ac2-26, which mimics amino acids 2 through 26 of the 54-amino acid N-terminal region. Annexin A1 and its N-terminal peptide (Ac2-26) have been shown to exert most of their anti-inflammatory effects via the FPR2 / lipoxin A4 (FPR2 / Alx) receptor. In vivo, Ac2-26 peptide has been shown to exert anti-inflammatory effects in models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I / R), mesenteric I / R, glycogen peritonitis, and IL1 air pouch, and was reported to significantly reduce neutrophil recruitment to the site of injury / inflammation.

[0005] Shorter versions of the Ac2-26 peptide, such as peptides Ac2-12 and Ac2-6, have also been shown to elicit some anti-inflammatory effects in acute models of inflammation. Longer polypeptides with anti-inflammatory effects have been disclosed, such as polypeptides corresponding to amino acid residues 2-48, 2-50, and 11-48, including the protease-resistant V24L variant (WO2012 / 174397 and WO2022 / 038281).

[0006] Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow to the coronary arteries of the heart is reduced or stopped, causing damage to the heart muscle. Further tissue damage in the form of reperfusion injury can occur during reperfusion, i.e., when blood supply returns to the heart after a period of ischemia or oxygen deprivation. Myocardial infarction is a severe condition, and the development of safe and effective treatments with minimal side effects is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0007] There is a need for the development of a safe and effective treatment for ischemic conditions and / or reperfusion injury with minimal side effects. The present inventors demonstrate that administration of three doses of AnxA1 N-terminal peptide for one or three days significantly improved cardiac output 14 days after ischemia. Surprisingly, administration of three doses of AnxA1 N-terminal peptide within 24 hours of reperfusion showed the greatest improvement in cardiac function. Therefore, administration of three doses of AnxA1 N-terminal peptide within 24 hours of the establishment of reperfusion (the onset of reperfusion) is sufficient to improve long-term cardiac function.

[0008] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to an annexin A1 (AnxA1) N-terminal peptide for use in treating ischemic conditions and / or reperfusion injury, wherein three doses of the AnxA1 N-terminal peptide are administered to a human subject within 24 hours of reperfusion.

[0009] In some embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an annexin A1 (AnxA1) N-terminal peptide and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient for use in treating an ischemic condition and / or reperfusion injury, wherein three doses of the AnxA1 N-terminal peptide are administered to a human subject within 24 hours of reperfusion. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows the effect of 1-day and 3-day Peptide 1 treatment on cardiac function in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. Three doses of Peptide 1 administered during the first 24 hours at the time of establishment of reperfusion (start of reperfusion), 3 hours after establishment of reperfusion, and 6 hours after establishment of reperfusion significantly improved cardiac function over the long term. *p<0.05: One-way ANOVA vs. vehicle. [Figure 2A] 1 shows the effects of immediate and delayed administration of annexin A1 peptide in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. Treatment regimens for Groups 1, 2, and 3 are shown. [Figure 2B] This figure shows the effects of immediate and delayed administration of annexin A1 peptide in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. Peptide 1 significantly reduced infarct size when the first dose was administered at T=0 (the start of reperfusion) (Group 1), when the first dose was administered at T=1, one hour after the establishment of reperfusion (Group 2), or when the first dose was administered at T=2, two hours after the establishment of reperfusion (Group 3). *p<0.05: One-way ANOVA vs. vehicle. #p<0.05, ##p<0.01: t-test between each treatment group and vehicle. [Figure 3A] Figure 1 shows the effect of one day of peptide 1 treatment on prevention of cardiac inflammation and tissue healing in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. Endothelial cell counts 72 hours after myocardial infarction (MI) are shown in sham-operated rats, rats treated with vehicle, and rats administered three doses of 30 μg / kg peptide 1. [Figure 3B] 1 shows the effect of one day of peptide 1 treatment on prevention of cardiac inflammation and tissue healing in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction. The presence of anti-inflammatory monocytes / macrophages 24 hours after MI is shown in sham-operated rats, rats treated with vehicle, and rats administered three doses of 30 μg / kg peptide 1.

[0102] In the examples below, references to "Peptide 1" are identified herein as AMVSEFLKQAWFIENEEQEYVQTLKSSKGGPGSAVSPYPTFNPSSDV (SEQ ID NO: 6 (Annexin A1 2-48 V24L)) with C-terminal amidation.

[0103] Example 1: Effects of 1 and 3 days of Peptide 1 treatment on cardiac function in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction method: Myocardial infarction was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats. On day 0, rats were anesthetized with a mixture of 2-2.2% isoflurane USP (Abbott Laboratories, Montreal, Canada) in oxygen and placed on a heating pad (set at 37°C) to maintain body temperature. The animals were intubated and immediately ventilated with a mixture of 2-2.2% isoflurane USP (Abbott Laboratories, Montreal, Canada) in oxygen using a positive-pressure rodent ventilator (CWE Model SAR-830 / P) set at approximately 10 mL / kg body weight at a respiratory rate of 70-80 breaths / min. The pericardium was opened to expose the heart, and a 5-0 wax-coated braided silk suture (Sofsilk™) was placed around the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery approximately 2-3 mm below the left atrium. The suture was briefly snare to confirm the size and location of myocardial ischemia based on color change and then tied off, creating a large anterolateral myocardial infarction (affecting approximately 45% of the LV). The suture was held in place for 30 minutes (30 minutes of ischemia) followed by reperfusion. A sham-operated group of rats was also included. Peptide 1 (or vehicle) was administered three times into the tail vein. The first dose was administered at the time of establishment of reperfusion (the beginning of reperfusion), the second dose was administered 3 hours after the establishment of reperfusion, and the third dose was administered 6 hours after the establishment of reperfusion. Group 1 received 3 x 10 μg / kg for 3 days, Group 2 received 3 x 30 μg / kg for 3 days, Group 4 received 3 x 100 μg / kg for 3 days, and Group 5 received 3 x 30 μg / kg for only 1 day. Fourteen days after ischemia, cardiac function was assessed by transthoracic echocardiography (echocardiogram model Q9 connected to a Chison 12.0 MHz probe, Chison Medical Imaging Co.).

[0104] result: As shown in Figure 1, vehicle treatment was associated with the development of cardiac dysfunction, resulting in a 25% reduction in cardiac output compared to sham animals. Peptide 1 administration for 1 or 3 days significantly improved cardiac output by 20–30% compared to vehicle treatment 14 days after ischemia. Only rats receiving 3 × 30 μg / kg of Peptide 1 per day showed the greatest improvement in cardiac function, with cardiac output comparable to sham animals (79.5 mL vs. 81.1 mL, respectively). Thus, three doses of Peptide 1 administered during the first 24 hours at the time of establishment of reperfusion (start of reperfusion), 3 hours after establishment of reperfusion, and 6 hours after establishment of reperfusion significantly improved long-term cardiac function.

[0105] Example 2: Effects of immediate and delayed administration of annexin A1 peptide in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction method: Myocardial infarction was induced by 30 minutes of ischemia via occlusion of the left coronary artery, followed by 24 hours of reperfusion. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with three doses of peptide 1 (30 μg / kg). Treatment was initiated either at the time of establishment of reperfusion (the beginning of reperfusion) (T0 h, T3 h, T6 h) (Group 1) or delayed at either 1 hour (T1 h, T4 h, T7 h) after establishment of reperfusion (Group 2) or 2 hours (T2 h, T5 h, T8 h) after establishment of reperfusion (Group 3).

[0106] At the end of the 24-hour reperfusion period, the left coronary artery was reoccluded and Evans blue dye solution was injected. Hearts were excised from the rats, stored at -20°C, and then sliced ​​into 1-mm-thick transverse sections. Heart sections were incubated with triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC, 1%) at 37°C for 30 minutes to define viable and nonviable myocardium within the risk zone. The areas at risk and infarcted areas were identified using image software.

[0107] result: Peptide 1 significantly reduced infarct size when administered three times, with the first dose administered at the time of establishment of reperfusion (the beginning of reperfusion) (Group 1). Delaying the start of treatment with peptide 1 by 1 and 2 hours reduced infarct size to a similar extent as when peptide 1 was administered immediately at the time of establishment of reperfusion (Figure 2B). Thus, peptide 1 has cardioprotective effects when administered both at the time of establishment of reperfusion and at least 2 hours after the establishment of reperfusion.

[0108] Example 3: Effect of 1-day Peptide 1 treatment on prevention of cardiac inflammation and tissue healing in a rat model of acute myocardial infarction method: Myocardial infarction was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats. On day 0, rats were anesthetized with a mixture of 2-2.2% isoflurane USP (Abbott Laboratories, Montreal, Canada) in oxygen and placed on a heating pad (set at 37°C) to maintain body temperature. The animals were intubated and immediately ventilated with a mixture of 2-2.2% isoflurane USP (Abbott Laboratories, Montreal, Canada) in oxygen using a positive-pressure rodent ventilator (CWE Model SAR-830 / P) set at approximately 10 mL / kg body weight at a respiratory rate of 70-80 breaths / min. The pericardium was opened to expose the heart, and a 5-0 wax-coated braided silk suture (Sofsilk™) was placed around the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery approximately 2-3 mm below the left atrium. The suture was briefly snare-tipped to confirm the size and location of myocardial ischemia based on color change and then tied off, creating a large anterolateral myocardial infarction (affecting approximately 45% of the LV). The suture was held in place for 30 minutes (30 minutes of ischemia), followed by reperfusion. A sham-operated group of rats was also included. Peptide 1 (30 μg / kg) or vehicle was administered three times via the tail vein. The first dose was administered at the onset of reperfusion, the second dose 3 hours after reperfusion, and the third dose 6 hours after reperfusion. On days 1 or 3, the animals were re-anesthetized, and the chest cavity was reopened to expose the heart. The heart was removed and perfused through the aorta with 10 mL of cold PBS, avoiding crossing the aortic valve, to flush the coronary arteries. The left ventricle plus septum was placed in a well of a 6-well plate containing 1 mL of cold PBS and cut into approximately 1-2 mm pieces. Cardiomyocytes were dispersed using a Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, #130-098-373).

[0109] After cell dissociation, red blood cells were lysed with 2 mL of FACS lysing solution (BD Biosciences, #555899).

[0110] Super Bright Complete Staining Buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific, #SB-4401-42, 150 μL) was added to 1.5 × 10 cardiac cells to prevent nonspecific polymer interactions. Cells were stained with the antibody mix, and all samples were protected from light and kept at room temperature for 20 minutes (see Table 1). One unstained sample was added for each batch.

[0111] Finally, cells were fixed with PFA 2% for 10 min at room temperature and protected from light. [Table 1]

[0112] One or two days after cell staining, all samples were read on a flow cytometer (Sony ID7000), and absolute cell numbers were determined using Accucount Fluorescent Particles (Spherotech, ACFO-50-5, lot AP02).

[0113] result: Figure 3A shows endothelial cell counts 72 hours after myocardial infarction (MI) in sham-operated rats, vehicle-treated rats, and rats administered three doses of 30 μg / kg of peptide 1. Surprisingly, rats administered peptide 1 exhibited a significant 2.4-fold increase in endothelial cell count compared to vehicle. This increase in endothelial cell count in the early stages of MI suggests the possibility of angiogenesis in the damaged tissue. Angiogenesis plays an important role in supplying essential nutrients and oxygen to the healing infarct, thereby contributing to more robust cardiac recovery.

[0114] Furthermore, we assessed the presence of anti-inflammatory monocytes / macrophages in the heart 24 hours after MI after peptide 1 treatment. These cell types play important roles in resolving inflammation, promoting scar formation, and promoting angiogenesis. As shown in Figure 3B, there is an observable increase in anti-inflammatory monocytes / macrophages in vehicle-treated animals. Interestingly, administration of peptide 1 further increases the number of anti-inflammatory monocytes / macrophages by 1.9-fold compared to the vehicle-treated group. This unexpected enhancement suggests that peptide 1 may contribute to promoting inflammation resolution in the myocardium.
