Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to negamycin derivatives and uses thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Genetic diseases are caused by genetic abnormalities due to various factors, resulting in impaired vital functions. Nonsense mutations, which account for 10–30% of genetic diseases, result in the creation of premature termination codons (PTCs) within structural genes, suppressing the expression of functional full-length proteins and resulting in various genetic disorders. It is estimated that there are over 2,500 types of nonsense mutation-related genetic diseases. While hormone replacement therapy is exceptionally effective in cases of hormone deficiency due to genetic abnormalities, there are currently no direct treatments for genetic diseases. Currently, treatments rely on symptomatic treatments to alleviate symptoms, and no cures have yet been discovered. Gene therapy is one of the most promising treatments, but it has not yet reached a stage where it can be fully tolerated in clinical settings.
[0003] Nagashima palmoplantar keratoderma (NPPK), a type of congenital palmoplantar keratoderma, is known as a nonsense mutation-mediated genetic disease. It is an autosomal recessive, nonsyndromic, diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma characterized by erythema and hyperkeratosis that extends not only to the palms and soles but also to the dorsum of the hands and feet, wrists, ankles, Achilles tendons, elbows, and knees. Loss-of-function mutations in the SERPINB7 gene, which encodes a serine protease inhibitor, are thought to be the cause of this disease. More than 90% of patients with this disease have been reported to carry a UGA stop codon due to the nonsense mutation c.796C>T (p.Arg266Ter) (Br. J. Dermatol., 171: pp. 847-853 (2014)).
[0004] The use of compounds with read-through activity for the treatment of nonsense mutation-related genetic diseases has been reported. When specific compounds are administered to patients lacking a specific protein due to a premature stop codon (PTC) caused by a nonsense mutation, the compound acts on the ribosome, causing the ribosome to read past the stop codon and continue translation. This phenomenon is called "read-through." As a result of read-through, wild-type normal protein is synthesized, thereby treating the disease. An example of a compound with such read-through activity is the aminoglycoside antibiotic gentamicin. It has been reported that administration of gentamicin to patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results in the accumulation of dystrophin protein (see Acta. Myol., 22: pp. 15-21 (2003)). It has also been reported that local administration of gentamicin to the airway epithelium of patients with cystic fibrosis can normalize typical electrophysiological abnormalities (see N. Engl. J. Med., 349: pp. 1433-1441 (2003)). However, like other aminoglycoside antibiotics, gentamicin exhibits significant nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, making it unsuitable for this treatment, which requires long-term administration. Furthermore, considering side effects, it is necessary to separate the pharmacological activity of the compound from its antibacterial activity.
[0005] Negamycin is a dipeptide antibiotic isolated and identified from actinomycetes in 1970 (see J. Antibiot., 23: pp. 170-171 (1970)). Derivatives of this compound have been reported to have read-through activity. For example, it has been reported that a compound in which the configuration at the 3rd position of the amino acid constituting the left wing of the negamycin structure is inverted and the 5th position does not contain a hydroxyl group has read-through activity equivalent to or greater than that of negamycin and is useful for treating diseases caused by nonsense mutations (see JP 2013-136570 A and ChemMedChem, 9: pp. 2233-2237 (2014)). Furthermore, some literature has described that dipeptide antibiotics such as negamycin have read-through activity and are useful for treating diseases caused by nonsense mutations (see WO 2002 / 102361).
[0006] On the other hand, deoxynegamycin derivatives having a cyclopropane ring in the molecule have been disclosed with their antibacterial activity (see Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 14: pp. 3103-3107 (2004)). However, there is no disclosure or suggestion that the derivatives disclosed therein have read-through activity. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide novel compounds having read-through activity that are useful as agents for the prevention and treatment of nonsense mutation-related genetic diseases. [Means for solving the problem]
[0008] As a result of extensive research aimed at solving the above problems, the present inventors have found that negamycin derivatives having a specific structure containing a cyclopropane ring, represented by the following formula (1), or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, or solvates thereof, have read-through activity. Because the compounds of the present invention are compounds with read-through activity, they may have an effect of improving nonsense mutation-related genetic diseases (e.g., Nagashima palmoplantar keratosis, etc.).

[0066] When the compound or intermediate compound of the present invention has geometric isomers, configurational isomers, stereoisomers, conformational isomers, etc., they can be isolated by known means.
[0067] When the compound of the present invention or an intermediate compound is an optically active compound, it can be separated into a (+) or (-) form from the corresponding racemic form by a conventional optical resolution method.
[0068] When the compound or intermediate compound of the present invention has optical isomers, stereoisomers, positional isomers, rotational isomers, and tautomers, each isomer can be obtained as a single compound by a synthesis method or a separation method known per se. Examples of the separation method include optical resolution methods such as fractional recrystallization, diastereomeric method, and chiral column method. Each resolution method will be described in detail below.
[0069] Fractional recrystallization: This method involves ionically bonding an optical resolution agent to a racemate to obtain crystalline diastereomers, then separating the crystalline diastereomers by fractional recrystallization, and optionally removing the optical resolution agent to obtain an optically pure compound. Examples of optical resolution agents include (+)-mandelic acid, (-)-mandelic acid, (+)-tartaric acid, (-)-tartaric acid, (+)-1-phenethylamine, (-)-1-phenethylamine, cinchonine, (-)-cinchonidine, and brucine.
[0070] Diastereomeric method: A mixture of racemates is covalently bound to an optical resolution agent to obtain a mixture of diastereomers, which is then separated into optically pure diastereomers by conventional separation means (e.g., fractional recrystallization, silica gel column chromatography, HPLC, etc.), and then optically pure optical isomers are obtained through a step of removing the optical resolution agent by a chemical reaction (e.g., hydrolysis reaction).
[0071] For example, when the compound of the present invention or an intermediate compound has a hydroxyl group or an amino group (primary or secondary), the compound can be condensed with an optically active organic acid (e.g., α-methoxy-α-(trifluoromethyl)phenylacetic acid, (-)-menthoxyacetic acid, etc.) to give diastereomers of esters or amides, respectively. Furthermore, when the compound of the present invention has a carboxy group, the compound can be condensed with an optically active amine or an optically active alcohol to give diastereomers of amides or esters, respectively. The diastereomers obtained by the condensation reaction are separated and subjected to hydrolysis with an acid or base, whereby they are converted to optically pure optical isomers of the original compound.
[0072] Chiral column method: This is a method of direct optical resolution by subjecting a racemate or its salt to chromatography using a chiral column (a column for separating optical isomers).
[0073] For example, in the case of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), a mixture of optical isomers can be added to a chiral column (e.g., the CHIRAL series manufactured by Daicel Corporation) and developed with an elution solvent (a single solvent such as water, various buffers (e.g., phosphate buffer), and organic solvents (e.g., ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, trifluoroacetic acid, diethylamine, etc.), or a mixture thereof), to separate the optical isomers. Furthermore, in the case of gas chromatography, a chiral column (e.g., CP-Chirasil-DeX CB (manufactured by GL Sciences)) can be used to separate the optical isomers. Furthermore, in the case of supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), a mixture of optical isomers can be added to a chiral column (e.g., the CHIRAL series manufactured by Daicel Corporation) and developed with an elution solvent such as carbon dioxide and an appropriate organic solvent (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, trifluoroacetic acid, diethylamine, etc.) to separate the optical isomers.

[0358] <Evaluation of DMD read-through activity using cell lines> In this example, the read-through activity of each compound on dystrophin gene translation in a cell line was evaluated using a dual reporter assay with a vector in which a dystrophin gene containing a nonsense mutation that causes Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) was inserted between the β-galactosidase gene and the firefly luciferase gene.
[0359] [1. Cell culture] COS-7 cells were cultured in a cell culture dish (Falcon, 100 × 20 mm) at 37°C in 5% CO. D-MEM (high glucose, L-glutamine, and phenol red) containing 10% FBS was used as the culture medium.
[0360] [2. Evaluation of read-through activity] The "Reporter Lysis Buffer 5x," "Assay 2x buffer," and "1M Na2CO3" used in the following experiments, as well as the standard used to create the calibration curve, are contained in the β-Galactosidase Enzyme Assay System with Reporter Lysis Buffer (Promega).
[0361] 2-1. Addition of compounds to cells COS-7 cells (8.0 × 10 cells) were cultured in a 96-well clear flat-bottom cell culture surface-treated polystyrene microplate (Corning). 3 The culture medium (cells / well) was seeded in 100 μL aliquots and incubated at 37° C. for 12 to 15 hours.
[0362] On the other hand, we prepared a dual reporter vector in which a dystrophin gene containing a nonsense mutation (premature stop codon (PTC)) responsible for DMD was inserted between the upstream β-galactosidase gene and the downstream firefly luciferase gene (see Shiozuka et al., J. Biochem., 2010, 147, 463-470). This nonsense mutation results in a single-nucleotide substitution at the tyrosine-encoding codon (UAC) that converts to a stop codon (UAG). This stop codon acts as a premature stop codon (PTC), preventing translation of codons following the PTC (including the firefly luciferase gene). Therefore, the read-through activity of each compound can be assessed using the firefly luciferase activity relative to the β-galactosidase activity as an index.
[0363] Here, 2 μg of the dual reporter vector prepared above and 4 μL of FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent (Promega) were prepared, and a total volume of 100 μL of DNA solution was prepared using OPTI-MEM® I (Reduced Serum Medium 1x) (Invitrogen). Next, 4 μL of this DNA solution was added to each well in liquid and incubated at 37°C for 10 to 11 hours.
[0364] After incubation, the culture medium was completely aspirated, and the compound to be evaluated was adjusted to a concentration of 200 μM in the culture medium and added in 200 μL aliquots per well. The same procedure was also performed for systems where the compound concentration was changed to 100 μM or 50 μM. After compound addition, the cells were incubated at 37°C for 48 hours.
[0365] After incubation, the culture medium in the wells was aspirated and washed twice with PBS. Next, Reporter Lysis Buffer 5x was diluted with ultrapure water to make Reporter Lysis Buffer 1x, and 100 μL of this solution was added in successive aliquots and allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. The contents of each well were then collected, transferred to a Nunc microwell plate (V-bottom) (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and centrifuged (1800 rpm, 15 minutes). 85 μL of the resulting lysate was transferred to each well of a 96-well ultra-low attachment flat-bottom plate (Corning).
[0366] [2-2. Evaluation of β-galactosidase activity] To a 96-well flat-bottom ultra-low attachment plate (Corning), 30 μL of Reporter Lysis Buffer 1X was added per well in successive aliquots, followed by 20 μL of the lysate collected in 2-1 above, for a total volume of 50 μL. Separately, standards required for creating a calibration curve were added at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mU according to the protocol for the β-Galactosidase Enzyme Assay System with Reporter Lysis Buffer (Promega). 50 μL of Assay 2X buffer was added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 20 minutes. Next, 150 μL of 1M Na2CO3 (reaction stop solution) was added to each well, and the absorbance intensity (414 nm, reference 0 nm) was immediately measured using a MULTISKAN FC absorbance microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A calibration curve was prepared from the absorbance of the standard, and the absorbance was converted into mU according to this calibration curve to obtain the value of β-galactosidase activity.
[0367] [2-3. Evaluation of luciferase activity] 50 μL of the lysate collected in 2-1 above was added to each well of a 96-well white plate (manufactured by Corning Incorporated), and 100 μL of PicaGene® (manufactured by Toyo Ink Co., Ltd.) was added, followed by incubation at room temperature for 15 minutes. After incubation, the luminescence intensity was measured using a luminescence microplate reader, LUMINOSKAN ASCENT (manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0368] [2-4. Calculation of read-through activity] The luciferase activity measured in 2-3 above was divided by the β-galactosidase activity measured in 2-2 above to calculate the read-through activity. The ratio of the read-through activity to the value calculated in the same manner for a control (culture medium) in which the same experiment was performed without adding the compound to be evaluated was calculated, and this was used as the read-through activity. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
[0369] <Evaluation of CF read-through activity using cell lines> In this example, the read-through activity of each compound on the translation of the CFTR gene in a cell line was evaluated by a dual reporter assay using a vector in which the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene containing a nonsense mutation (W1282X) that causes cystic fibrosis (CF) was inserted between the Renilla luciferase gene and the firefly luciferase gene.
[0370] [1. Cell culture] The COS-7 cells cultured in the above evaluation of DMD read-through activity were used.
[0371] [2. Evaluation of read-through activity] The "Passive Lysis Buffer, 5x," "LARII Buffer," and "Stop & Glo Buffer" used in the following experiments are contained in the Dual luciferase reporter assay system (Promega).
[0372] 2-1. Addition of compounds to cells COS-7 cells were seeded at 8,000 cells / well in a 96-well bottomed plate (Costar) and cultured for 12–15 hours. Two micrograms of a reporter gene (a construct consisting of a Renilla luciferase gene ligated with a firefly luciferase gene, with a PTC-containing sequence inserted at the junction) and 6 μL of FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent (Roche) were diluted with OPTI-MEM® I (Reduced Serum Medium 1X, Invitrogen) to a total volume of 100 μL. 4 μL of this solution was added per well and cultured at 37°C for 10–12 hours. The medium was removed, and 200 μL of a test compound solution adjusted to 200 μM was added. A control plate was also cultured with 200 μL of medium. After 46–48 hours of culture, the medium in the wells was removed and washed twice with PBS. Next, 100 μL of 1x Passive Lysis Buffer, prepared by diluting 5x Passive Lysis Buffer with ultrapure water, was added to each well to lyse the cell membrane. The contents of each well were collected, transferred to a Nunc microwell plate (V-bottom, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and centrifuged (1800 rpm, 15 minutes). 85 μL of this lysate was transferred to a Nunc low-binding plate 96-well plate (flat-bottom, clear, Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0373] [2-2. Evaluation of dual luciferase activity] 5μL of the collected lysate was added to a Corning 96-well white plate (costar® 3912), 50μL of LARII Buffer was added to each well, and the luminescence intensity was immediately measured using a Luminoskan luminescence microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After the measurement, 50μL of Stop & Glo Buffer was added to each well of the same plate, and the luminescence intensity was immediately measured using a Luminoskan luminescence microplate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
[0374] [2-3. Calculation of read-through activity] The firefly luciferase activity measured in 2-2 above was divided by the Renilla luciferase activity to calculate the read-through activity. The ratio of the read-through activity to the value calculated in the same manner for a control (culture medium) in which the same experiment was performed without adding the test compound was calculated, and this value was used as the read-through activity. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
[0375] <Evaluation of NPPK read-through activity using a cell-free system> In this experimental example, the read-through activity of each compound on the translation of the SERPINB7 gene in a cell-free system was evaluated by a dual reporter assay using a vector in which the SERPINB7 gene containing a nonsense mutation (c.796C>T) that causes Nagashima palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK) was inserted between the β-galactosidase gene and the firefly luciferase gene.
[0376] [1. Addition of compounds to cell-free evaluation system] HeLa cell lysate, accessory protein solution, and reaction mixture from a cell-free protein synthesis kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 1-Step Human Couples IVT Kit, 88882) were mixed according to the kit's instructions. Next, 10 volumes of the cell-free protein synthesis kit mixture were mixed with 1 volume of dual reporter vector solution (125 ng / µL) to prepare a premix solution. The dual reporter vector was prepared by inserting the SERPINB7 gene, containing a nonsense mutation (premature stop codon (PTC)) responsible for NPPK, between the upstream β-galactosidase gene and the downstream firefly luciferase gene, using the same method as described above.
[0377] Next, 1.5 μL of an aqueous solution of the compound to be evaluated and 11.5 μL of the premix solution prepared above were added to a PCR tube (0.2 mL, RNase / DNase-free, manufactured by Trefflab) and mixed. The mixture was then incubated at 30°C for 90 minutes to carry out a protein synthesis reaction. Note that the solution of the compound to be evaluated was diluted by mixing with the premix solution, so it was prepared at a concentration 8.33 times higher than the concentration to be evaluated. As a control, a premix solution to which the same amount of water had been added instead of the compound was used.
[0378] 2. Evaluation of β-galactosidase activity The protein synthesis reaction solution incubated as described above was diluted 3000-fold with the Reporter Lysis Buffer 1X prepared as described above. For this dilution procedure, 1 μL of the reaction solution was first mixed with 199 μL of Reporter Lysis Buffer 1X to prepare a 200-fold diluted solution. Next, 10 μL of this 200-fold diluted solution was mixed with 140 μL of Reporter Lysis Buffer 1 1X to dilute the solution 15-fold, preparing a 3000-fold diluted solution. Separately, as a standard enzyme solution required for preparing a calibration curve, the β-galactosidase enzyme (1 U / μL) contained in the β-Galactosidase Enzyme Assay with Reporter Lysis Buffer kit (Promega) was serially diluted with Reporter Lysis Buffer 1x to prepare concentrations of 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125, 1.5625, and 0.78125 μU / μL.
[0379] Next, 50 μL of the diluted protein synthesis reaction mixture and serially diluted standard enzyme solutions were added to each well of a 96-well plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, 50 μL of Assay 2x Buffer was added to each well and incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes. After incubation, 150 μL of 1M Na2CO3 solution (reaction stop solution) was added to each well, and the absorbance (420 nm, reference 0 nm) was immediately measured using a Multiskan 60 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A calibration curve was created from the absorbance of the standard enzymes, and enzyme activity (mU / μL) was calculated from the calibration curve and the absorbance of the protein synthesis reaction mixture.
[0380] 3. Evaluation of luciferase activity 20 μL of Reporter Lysis Buffer 1× (Promega) and 1 μL of the protein synthesis reaction solution incubated above were added to a 96-well white plate (COSTAR, 3917) and mixed. Next, 50 μL of Luciferase Assay System solution (Promega, E1500) was added, and the luminescence intensity was immediately measured using a PerkinElmer 2030 Multilabel Reader ARVO™ X5.
[0381] 4. Calculation of read-through activity The luciferase activity measured in 3 above was divided by the β-galactosidase activity measured in 2 above to calculate the read-through activity. The ratio of the read-through activity to the value calculated in the same manner for a control (solvent group) in which the same experiment was performed without adding the compound to be evaluated was calculated, and this was taken as the read-through activity. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
[0382] <Evaluation of NPPK read-through activity using cell lines> In this example, a cell line was used to evaluate the read-through activity of each compound on the translation of the SERPINB7 gene, which contains a nonsense mutation (c.796C>T) that causes Nagashima palmoplantar keratosis (NPPK).
[0383] [1. Cell culture] AD293 cells were cultured in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
[0384] [2. Evaluation of read-through activity] In this experimental example, AD293 cells transfected with a SERPINB7 gene having a nonsense mutation were treated with an evaluation compound, and the expression level of normal SERPINB7 protein was measured by Western blotting to evaluate read-through activity.
[0385] 2-1. Introduction of vector DNA into cells To analyze SERPINB7 protein containing a nonsense mutation (c796.C>T), we constructed a p3xFLAG-SERPINB7 c.796C>T vector DNA expressing a mutant SERPINB7 protein containing a FLAG tag sequence at the N-terminus. To evaluate transfection efficiency, we simultaneously transfected cells with a firefly luciferase-expressing vector DNA. To transfect cultured cells, 600 ng of p3xFLAG-SERPINB7 c.796C>T vector DNA and 600 ng of firefly luciferase expression vector DNA were added to 30 μL of Opti-MEM 1 Reduced-Serum Medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) per well of a 24-well plate, and then mixed with 2.4 μL of P3000 Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) to prepare a transfection solution (Solution 1). Next, a solution was prepared by mixing 30 μL of Opti-MEM 1 Reduced-Serum Medium and 3.6 μL of Lipofectamine 3000 Transfection Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in a separate container (Solution 2). After mixing Solution 1 and Solution 2, the mixture was left to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes or more, and this was designated Solution 3. A cell suspension was prepared from cultured AD293 cells, and the cell concentration was adjusted to 2 × 10 5 The cell suspension was diluted to cells / mL. 600 μL of this cell suspension was prepared per well of a 24-well plate, and Solution 3 was added and seeded into each well. The cells were then cultured at 37°C under conditions of 95% air (volume) and 5% CO2 (volume).
[0386] [2-2. Treatment with evaluation compound] One day after the vector DNA was introduced into the cells, the test compound was added to the cell culture medium. At this time, the test compound was dissolved in distilled water and then diluted to a predetermined concentration with DMEM medium before use. Similar experiments were also carried out using the comparative compounds described below. Among these comparative compounds, gentamicin and G418 were diluted to a predetermined concentration with DMEM medium before use. After the addition of the compound, the cells were cultured for 2 days, and then cell lysates were collected by the following method.
[0387] [2-3. Recovery of cell lysate] The medium was removed from each well, and 100 μL of sample buffer prepared from NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and NuPAGE Sample Reducing Agent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added to each well. After sonication using an Ultrasonic Liquid Processor Q125 (Qsonica), the cells were centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4°C for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was used as the cell lysate.
[0388] [2-4. Western blotting analysis] The cell lysate prepared above was inserted into each well of 4-12% NuPAGE Bis-Tris Mini Gels (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and subjected to electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the gel was immersed in ultrapure water and then in 20% ethanol solution for approximately 5 minutes. Using the iBlot2 Dry Blotting System (Thermo Fisher Scientific), the gel was transferred to an iBlot2 PVDF Regular Stacks membrane (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The gel was immersed in 5% skim milk solution for approximately 1 hour at room temperature for blocking, followed by washing with Tris-Buffered Saline (TBS). The primary antibody was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour. The primary antibody used to detect SERPINB7 protein containing a FLAG tag sequence at its N-terminus was an anti-FLAG M2 antibody (F3165, Sigma-Aldrich), and the primary antibody used to detect firefly luciferase was an anti-firefly luciferase antibody (ab16466, Abcam). The primary antibody was diluted 1000-fold with Can Get Signal Immunoreaction Enhance Solution 1 (Toyobo Co., Ltd.). After treatment with the primary antibody, the sample was washed with a solution of TBS supplemented with Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich) to a concentration of 0.5 w / v% (hereinafter referred to as "TBST"). Subsequently, the secondary antibody was incubated at room temperature for approximately 1 hour, followed by washing with TBST. The secondary antibody used was Peroxidase-Affini Pure goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (115-035-003, manufactured by Jackson), which was diluted 2000-fold with Can Get Signal Immunoreaction Enhance Solution 1 and used in the reaction.
[0389] [2-5. Calculation of read-through activity] After reacting with the secondary antibody in 2-4 above, the membrane was treated with ECL Western Blotting Detection Reagents (GE Healthcare), and signals were detected using an ImageQuant LAS4000 (Fujifilm Corporation). The full-length SERPINB7 protein signal and β-actin signal detected during this process were then quantified using an ImageQuant TL (GE Healthcare), and the former divided by the latter was used to calculate the read-through activity. The results are shown in Table 8 below.
