Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] Cross-reference with related applications This application claims the benefit or priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63 / 485,159, filed on 15 February 2023, the disclosure thereof being incorporated herein in its entirety. [Background technology]

[0002] Neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and prion diseases are debilitating diseases that affect cognitive and / or muscle control. These diseases are a subset of protein misfolding diseases. Protein folding is an essential process for protein function in all living organisms, and conditions that disrupt protein folding threaten the viability of cells. In some cases, the above diseases arise because a particular protein becomes non-functional when it is misfolded. In other diseases, misfolding occurs simultaneously with aggregation, and pathological symptoms arise because the underlying aggregates are harmful. Even though neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease are caused by different proteins, both involve the accumulation of insoluble fibrous protein deposits called amyloid. For example, Parkinson's disease (PD), Lewy body dementia (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), collectively known as "synucleinopathy," are associated with the accumulation of aggregated forms of α-synuclein protein in neurons in the brain (see "Nat. Rev. Neuro. 2013, 9, 13-24" and "J. Parkinson's Disease 2013, 3, 565-567"). Major neuropathological changes in PD include degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, as well as the formation of Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs). To date, the pathogenesis of PD is not fully understood.

[0003] Alpha-synuclein is a presynaptic terminal protein consisting of 140 amino acids, playing crucial roles in the central nervous system, including synaptic vesicle recycling and synthesis, vesicle storage, and neurotransmitter release. It is specifically upregulated in individual populations of presynaptic terminals in the brain during synaptic rearrangement associated with acquisition. Alpha-synuclein is naturally highly soluble and exists in an unfolded state. Evidence suggests that in synucleinopathy, filamentous aggregates of alpha-synuclein accumulate on the presynaptic membrane, causing synaptic dysfunction and neuronal cell death, and that these filamentous aggregates may contribute to Parkinson's disease and DLB. Antibody immunohistochemical studies have identified alpha-synuclein aggregates as a major component of Lewy bodies, which are microscopic protein deposits in degraded nerve cells. The accumulation of misfolded fibrous α-synuclein in Lewy bodies (LBs) and Lewy neurites (LNs) is considered a characteristic feature of Parkinson's disease (PD).

[0004] The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD) is primarily based on clinical symptoms such as resting tremor, bradykinesia, and rigidity, but these methods have limitations (see "J. Neurology 2019, 266, 1927-1936"). Current treatment goals for PD are to slow disease progression and minimize patient symptoms. Therefore, methods for diagnosing PD at a very early stage can greatly assist physicians in designing treatment paradigms accordingly and slowing disease progression. Improved diagnostic methods for identifying the aggregation of misfolded proteins containing α-synuclein are still needed for early detection and continuous monitoring of PD in the population (see "J. Parkinson's Disease 2013, 3, 565-567").

[0005] Alpha-synuclein positron emission tomography (PET) tracers may be valuable non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for spatial and temporal quantification of aggregated pathological alpha-synuclein in the human brain, serving as a Parkinson's disease biomarker. Furthermore, alpha-synuclein PET tracers may be useful for patient selection in PD clinical trials. In this manner, alpha-synuclein tracers can be developed as companion diagnostics for the co-registration of therapeutic agents. Moreover, alpha-synuclein PET tracers may be important disease-related tools for quantifying the stabilization or reduction of alpha-synuclein formation in relation to disease-modifying PD therapeutic agents.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for neuroimaging radiotracers that enable in vivo imaging of α-synuclein pathology and thereby provide insights into the deposition of α-synuclein aggregates in the human brain. Successful neuroimaging radiotracers must cross the blood-brain barrier, be rapidly cleared from tissues and plasma, and possess high affinity and specificity for α-synuclein aggregates with higher selectivity than binding to β-amyloid and tau aggregate proteins, which are co-expressed in many PD patient populations (see "Biol Psychiatry 2015, 78, 672-683" and "J Neuropath Exper Neurol 2003, 62, 389-397"). While α-synuclein-binding ligands with reduced selectivity for aggregated β-amyloid have been described (WO2019 / 121661), compounds with high selectivity for aggregated proteins co-expressed in PD are needed to quantify α-synuclein-specific signals in in vivo imaging studies of PD patients.

[0034] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound of the present invention (for example, a compound represented by formula I) and at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient.

[0035] The compound represented by formula I is an inhibitor and / or binder of aggregated α-synuclein or tau protein. The compound represented by formula I and its isotopically labeled variants may be useful in the diagnosis and / or treatment of Parkinson's disease and / or Alzheimer's disease. Means for detecting the label are well known to those skilled in the art. For example, the isotopic label can be detected using imaging techniques, photographic film or a scintillation counter. In a preferred embodiment, the label is detected in vivo in the brain of a subject by imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET).

[0036] The compound represented by formula (I) may also form a component of a bifunctional compound that is a targeted proteolytic compound that binds to aggregated α-synuclein protein. Such a targeted α-synuclein proteolytic compound comprises a target protein-binding moiety formed from the compound represented by formula (I) and an E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety. The targeted α-synuclein proteolytic compound typically comprises a linker group that connects the α-synuclein protein-binding moiety and the E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety. The E3 ubiquitin ligase-binding moiety in the α-synuclein targeted proteolytic compound may be, but are not limited to, a conjugate to the E3 ligase von Hipperrindau protein, a conjugate to the E3 ligase cereblon protein, or a conjugate to the MDM2 protein. Such compounds may be administered in pharmaceutical compositions to treat pathological conditions (which include, but are not limited to, the conditions disclosed herein).

[0037] In the following descriptions, conventional structural representations are employed, including conventional stereochemical notations for specific chiral carbon centers. Therefore, the structural representations of the compounds of the present invention include conventional stereochemical notations for some chiral carbon centers shown in the exemplary compounds. Thus, in such examples, a blacked-out “wedge” bond represents a bond protruding from the plane of the regeneration medium, a “finely engraved wedge” bond represents a bond descending into the plane of the regeneration medium, and a “wavy” line attached to a carbon with a double bond indicates the inclusion of both possible cis and trans orientations. As in the conventional practice, a plain solid line represents all spatial arrangements of the depicted bond. Therefore, where no specific stereochemical notation is given, the representation is intended to include all stereochemical and spatial orientations of the structural feature in question.

[0038] As shown in the examples of the present invention and as mentioned above, certain chiral carbon centers are structurally represented using the conventional “solid wedge” and “finely etched wedge” bonding representations. In most cases, the absolute configuration of the exemplary compounds has not been confirmed, but is assigned by analogy with specific exemplary compounds whose stereochemical configuration is known (confirmed by X-ray crystallography) and which were prepared using the same or similar reaction conditions and starting reagents and isolated under the same chromatographic conditions. Accordingly, the specific assignment of configurations structurally represented herein is intended to identify that a particular compound prepared has an excess of one particular stereoisomer, and is not necessarily stated herein as a description of the absolute determination of the stereochemical structure of the compound unless otherwise indicated in the presented data.

[0039] If an isomer mixture is obtained, it will be understood that the preparation of individual stereoisomers in significant enantiomer excess can be carried out, if desired, by separating the mixture using conventional methods (e.g., by chromatography or crystallization), by using stereochemically homogeneous starting materials for the described synthesis, or by stereoselective synthesis. In some cases, derivatization can be performed before separation of stereoisomers. Separation of a mixture of stereoisomers can be carried out at an intermediate stage during the synthesis of the compound represented by formula I, or it can be carried out on the final racemic product.

[0040] Where otherwise specified, absolute stereochemistry is determined by X-ray crystallography of the crystalline product or intermediate, where the crystalline product or intermediate is derivatized, if necessary, with a reagent containing a stereoisomer center of known configuration. Unless otherwise specified, the present invention encompasses all such isomers, salts, solvates (including hydrates), or solvated salts of such racemic compounds, enantiomers, or diastereomers.

[0041] When a wavy line terminates a conventional bond (rather than connecting two atoms within a structure), it indicates a bond point to the structure. For example, [ka] The tilde indicates that the secondary butyl moiety is bonded via a methylene group through a bond terminated by a wavy line. When alphabetical notation is used to represent a substitution, a dash is used to indicate the bond point to the indicated substrate. For example, -CH2-C(O)-CH2Cl indicates that the acetyl chloride moiety is bonded via the methylene moiety of that moiety.

[0042] If the compound represented by formula I is tautomerizable, all individual tautomers and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of the present invention.

[0043] Any variable part (e.g., R, R) 1 If any substituent (i.e., R, n, heteroaryl, alkyl, etc.) appears more than once in any component or in Formula I, the definition of that substituent in each appearance is independent of the definition of that substituent in all other appearances, unless otherwise specified at the time of the definition. Those skilled in the art will know that various substituents (i.e., R) as defined in the structural representation are independent of the definition of that substituent in all other appearances. 1 , R 2It will be recognized that the selection of combinations (such as) should be made in accordance with well-known principles of bonding and stability of chemical structures, and that combinations of substituents and / or variable parts are only permissible if such combinations result in a stable compound.

[0062] The isotope-labeled compounds of the present invention are prepared by incorporating a selected isotope into a substrate molecule. This is achieved by using a reagent in which one or more atoms contained in the reagent have been radioactive, by placing the reagent in a radioactive source such as a nuclear reactor or cyclotron. Furthermore, 2 H2O, 3 H3CI, 14 C6H5Br, ClCH2 14 Many isotope-labeling reagents, such as COCl, are commercially available. Then, using standard organic chemical synthesis techniques, the isotope atoms are incorporated into the compound represented by formula I. The following scheme illustrates a method for producing the compound represented by formula I.

[0063] The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of at least one compound represented by formula I and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The composition may, but is not limited to, contain one or more buffers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, suspending agents, lubricants, adsorbents, surfactants, preservatives, and the like. The composition may be formulated as a solid, liquid, gel, or suspension for oral administration (e.g., drench agents, bolus agents, tablets, powders, capsules, mouth sprays, emulsions), parenteral administration (e.g., subcutaneous injection, intramuscular injection, intravenous injection, epidural injection), topical application (e.g., creams, ointments, controlled-release patches, sprays), vaginal administration, rectal administration, transdermal administration, intraocular administration, or intranasal administration. In further embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be formulated for parenteral administration (e.g., intravenous formulations).

[0064] The present invention provides radiolabeled compounds represented by formula I as α-synuclein imaging agents and synthetic precursor compounds for preparing them. The compounds represented by formula I bind to aggregated α-synuclein and potentially track the progression of age-related diseases such as PD, as well as other synucleinopathy and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple system atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body dementia (DLB). The compounds of the present invention can also be used in combination with a wide range of cognitive deficit enhancement agents. Accordingly, in another embodiment of the present invention, a compound represented by formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition or formulation comprising a compound represented by formula (I), is administered concurrently, simultaneously, sequentially, or separately with another pharmaceutically active compound used in the treatment of AD / PD (which includes, for example, donepezil, memantine, tacrine, carbidopa, levodopa, MOA-B inhibitors, catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT) inhibitors, etc.) and their equivalents, pharmaceutically active isomers, and metabolites.

[0065] The object of the present invention is to provide a radiopharmaceutical agent (for example, an isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I) that is useful in α-synuclein imaging and has high specific radioactivity and high target tissue selectivity due to its high affinity for α-synuclein aggregates.

[0066] According to the present invention, a method for imaging α-synuclein deposits in a patient (in which an isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I is used as an imaging agent) comprises the following steps: (a) positioning a human patient in a supine position inside a PET camera; (b) intravenously administering approximately 0.1 to approximately 10 mCi of the isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I to the patient; and (c) performing a vascular scan of the cerebral region of the patient's head to confirm the aggregation of α-synuclein in the patient's brain tissue. Techniques for performing vascular scans of the head are well known to those skilled in the art. PET techniques are described in: Freeman et al., Freeman and Johnson's Clinical Radionuclide Imaging, 3rd. Ed. Vol. 1 (1984); Grune & Stratton, New York; Ennis et Q. Vascular Radionuclide Imaging: A Clinical Atlas, John Wiley & Sons, New York (1983).

[0067] The term “labeled tracer” refers to any molecule that can be used to track or detect defined activity in vivo. For example, a preferred tracer is one that accumulates in a region where α-synuclein aggregates may be found. Preferably, the labeled tracer is one that can be seen, for example, by positron emission tomography (PET) scans in living experimental animals, healthy humans, or patients (also referred to as subjects). Suitable labels include, but are not limited to, radioisotopes, fluorescent dyes, chemiluminescent compounds, pigments, and proteins (including enzymes).

[0068] The present invention also provides a method for confirming the in vivo activity of an enzyme or other molecule. In one embodiment, an isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I is used as a tracer to track the binding activity of aggregated α-synuclein protein in the brain and central nervous system.

[0069] Biomarkers of Parkinson's disease symptoms, prognosis, and progression are all useful not only for general diagnostics but also for the clinical development planning of Parkinson's disease treatments. The compound represented by Formula I can be used to provide biomarker information to patients in clinical trials of novel symptomatic and disease-modifying Parkinson's disease therapies, and to assist in patient selection and cohort allocation. The present invention serves as one of the disease symptom biomarkers for enrolling eligible patients into appropriate PhIIb trial cohorts. In addition, the present invention can serve as one of the disease prognosis markers as an entry inclusion criterion to increase the probability of disease progression in the placebo group, a problem that continues to plague Parkinson's disease clinical trials. Finally, the present invention can serve as one of the disease progression biomarkers for monitoring the clinical course of patients during treatment and can provide an independent biomarker index of therapeutic response to therapeutic drugs. The tracer can be selected according to a chosen detection method. Before carrying out the method of the present invention, a diagnostically effective amount of the labeled or unlabeled compound of the present invention is administered to a living organism (this includes humans).

[0070] The present invention also provides a method for measuring the clinical efficacy of a therapeutic agent useful for treating Parkinson's disease (PD), comprising the following steps: (a) administering an isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I to a patient diagnosed with PD before treatment with the therapeutic agent; (b) measuring the amount of α-synuclein aggregates formed in the patient's brain tissue; (c) administering an isotope-labeled compound represented by formula I to the patient after treatment with the therapeutic agent; (d) measuring the amount of α-synuclein aggregates formed in the patient's brain tissue after treatment; and (e) analyzing whether the therapeutic agent stopped or reduced the progression of α-synuclein aggregate formation in the patient's brain tissue.

[0080] The compounds described herein were synthesized as racemic mixtures unless otherwise indicated in the experimental procedure. The final product may be further modified, for example, by manipulating substituents. These manipulatives may include, but are not limited to, reduction, oxidation, alkylation, acylation, and hydrolysis reactions, which are generally known to those skilled in the art. The order in which the above reaction schemes are carried out may be changed to accelerate the reaction or avoid undesirable reaction products. The following schemes and examples are provided to allow for a better understanding of the present invention. These examples are merely illustrative and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0081] General Scheme A [ka]

[0082] Substitutive piperazine (A-1) can be converted to arylpiperazine A-2 by a CN coupling reaction via SNAr or Pd. Deprotection is followed by a CN coupling reaction with an aryl halide via SNAr or Pd to obtain intermediate A-3. If Y in A-3 is nitro, reduction (e.g., hydrogenation) can be performed to obtain aniline intermediate A-4, and subsequent amide coupling yields the target molecule A-5.

[0083] [ka]

[0084] Alternatively, if Y is a bromide (or Cl), intermediate A-6 can be obtained by CN coupling with a Boc-amine via Pd, and the target molecule A-7 can be obtained by subsequent amide coupling.

[0085] General Scheme B [ka]

[0086] Substituted piperazine (B-1) can be converted to arylpiperazine B-2 by a CN coupling reaction via SNAr or Pd, followed by deprotection. Intermediate B-3 can be obtained by CN coupling of B-2 with an aryl halide via SNAr or Pd. By reducing B-3, an aniline intermediate B-4 can be obtained, and the target molecule B-5 can be obtained by subsequent amide coupling.

[0087] General Scheme C [ka]

[0088] Intermediate C-1 can be subjected to a SNAr reaction with an amine or an NH-containing heterocycle to obtain the target compound C-2.

[0089] General Scheme D [ka] Intermediate D-1 can be subjected to a Pd-mediated CC coupling reaction to obtain the target compound D-2.

[0090] General Scheme E [ka]

[0091] Substituted piperazine (E-1) can be converted to arylpiperazine E-2 by a CN coupling reaction via SNAr or Pd. Deprotection is followed by a CN coupling reaction with an aryl halide via SNAr or Pd to obtain intermediate E-3. Halide E-3 is then subjected to a Pd-mediated CN coupling reaction with a pre-formed primary amide to obtain the target molecule E-4.

[0276] Assay protocol Acquisition of human postmortem tissue samples for in vitro binding assays Frozen human brain tissue from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients was purchased from Analytic Biological Services Inc. The samples were postmortem tissue from donors clinically diagnosed with late-stage PD. Alpha-synuclein, tau, and amyloid loads were determined by a combination of immunohistochemistry of frozen thin coronal sections and quantification based on α-Lisa protein levels in surfactant-insoluble protein fractions. A temporal cortical tissue sample from one donor showed moderate to high alpha-synuclein load, low amyloid, and minimal tau pathology. The surfactant-insoluble fraction of the temporal cortex from this patient was used to support homogenate-binding studies.

[0277] Preparation of surfactant-insoluble fractions of human brain tissue for in vitro binding studies. Gray matter was extracted from the temporal cortical tissue using a dissecting knife and finely chopped with thin dissecting scissors. To prepare the insoluble fraction, the minced tissue was homogenized in ice-cold TBS-TX buffer (50 mM Tris + 150 mM NaCl + 1% Triton X100 + 1 mM EDTA + 1 tablet / 10 mL of complete protease inhibitor + 1 tablet / 10 mL of PHOSSTOP phosphatase inhibitor tablet) using a glass Dounce tissue grinder. The homogenate was centrifuged at 100,000 × g for 45 minutes. The pellet was resuspended in TBS-TX buffer using a Polytron at its highest setting for 30 seconds at 4°C. The homogenate was centrifuged at 100,000 × g for 45 minutes, and the pellet was resuspended in TBS-TX buffer. The final homogenate was subjected to a BCA protein assay to measure the protein concentration. The homogenate was divided into equal portions of 0.5 mL / tube and stored at -70°C until use.

[0278] Procedure for the α-synuclein tissue homogenate binding assay (Assay 1) In the hot saturated binding assay, the final concentration of the radioactive ligand is in the range of 0.84 to 50 nM. 3Radioactive ligands of various concentrations were prepared in assay buffer (DPBS + 0.1% BSA) to achieve [H]-1. 25 μL of radioactive ligand was added to 200 μL of the insoluble fraction of PD brain homogenate diluted to 150 μg / mL in assay buffer (incubation, filtration, and measurement of the amount of radioactive ligand used in the assay are described below). Nonspecific binding was measured using self-blocking with an unlabeled compound. Saturation data were analyzed using GraphPad / Prism software.

[0279] Figure 2 is [ 3 This figure shows a saturation binding experiment using Triton-insoluble fractions of temporal cortical PD tissue rich in aggregated α-synuclein with H-1. This data supports the use of this ligand in radioligand binding assays to optimize its efficacy in binding to pathological α-synuclein. Figure 2 shows [ 3 This shows an example of hot saturated binding of [H]-1, where the radioactive ligand exhibits high affinity for α-synuclein in PD brain homogenate, with a measured dissociation constant of 25 nM.

[0280] For the substitution α-synuclein binding assay, the unlabeled test compound was dissolved in DMSO at 10 mM. Dilution of the test compound to various concentrations was performed in 100% DMSO at a concentration 1000 times the final assay concentration, and 0.225 μL aliquots were dispensed into assay plates. The insoluble fraction of PD brain homogenate was diluted in assay buffer from the original 10 mg / mL to 50 μg / mL, and 200 μL was added to the assay plate to achieve a final concentration of 10 μg per well. 3[H]-1 was prepared in assay buffer to 10 times its final concentration, and 25 μL was added to the assay plate to achieve a final assay concentration of 2.0 nM. 200 μL of homogenate and 25 μL of radioactive ligand were added to the assay plate containing the titrated compound. The plate was incubated at room temperature for 90 minutes. Unbound and bound ligands were separated by filtering a GF / C filter plate (pre-treated with 0.2% PEI at 4°C for 60 minutes) through a Perkin Elmer FilterMate Harvester Unifilter-96, and washing the unbound ligands three times with 1 mL of ice-cold DPBS. The filter plate was dried (in an oven under reduced pressure at 47°C for 1 hour, or overnight at room temperature). 50 μL / well of Microscint-20 (Perkin Elmer) was added to the plate, and the plate was counted on a Perkin Elmer TopCount for 1 minute per well. The data was analyzed using IDBS Activity Base to determine the Ki values ​​shown in Data Table 1 (K d Value 25 nM, ligand concentration 2.0 nM; Figure 2).

[0281] Competitive binding of radioactive ligands to pathologically aggregated β-amyloid in AD tissue (Assay 2): Frozen human brain samples from Alzheimer's disease (AD) were purchased from Analytic Biological Services Inc. The samples were postmortem tissue from a clinically diagnosed AD donor, and a large portion of the white matter was excised from the frontal cortex to concentrate the gray matter tissue preparation. A gray matter-rich frontal cortex brain homogenate was prepared by homogenizing the tissue in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4) with 80 mg of wet tissue per mL at 4°C for 45 seconds using a Polytron set to 16. The homogenate was further diluted with ice-cold PBS to 30 mg of wet tissue per mL and homogenized for another minute as described above. The homogenate was divided into 5 mL / tube portions and stored at -70°C until use.

[0282] Radiating ligand [ 3H]-105 was prepared in this assay as described in "ACS Med. Chem. Lett., Vol. 2, pages 498-502". [ka]

[0283] In the hot saturation binding assay, various concentrations of radioactive ligands [ 3 [H]-105 was prepared in assay buffer (PBS + 0.1% BSA) with 20% DMSO to a concentration ranging from 3.9 to 500 nM. 25 μL of radioactive ligand was added to 200 μL of crude brain homogenate (diluted to 0.5 mg / mL with assay buffer) to achieve a final radioactive ligand concentration ranging from 0.39 to 50 nM, resulting in the final crude brain homogenate at 100 μg wet weight / assay well (incubation, filtration, and measurement of the amount of radioactive ligand used in the assay are described below). Nonspecific binding was measured using self-blocking with an unlabeled compound. Saturation data were analyzed using GraphPad / Prism software.

Figure 1 shows [ 3 This shows an example of hot saturated binding of [H]-105, where the radioactive ligand exhibits high affinity for aggregated β-amyloid (abeta) in AD brain homogenate, with a measured dissociation constant of 11 nM. This data supports the use of this ligand in radioactive ligand binding assays for screening binding to aggregated β-amyloid.

[0285] In Assay 2, the unlabeled test compound was dissolved in DMSO at 10 mM. Dilution of the test compound to various concentrations was performed in 100% DMSO at a concentration 1000 times the final assay concentration, and 0.225 μL aliquots were dispensed into assay plates. The brain homogenate was diluted from the original 30 mg / mL volume in assay buffer to 0.5 mg / mL, and 200 μL was added to the assay plate to obtain a final concentration of 100 μg wet weight / assay well. 3 H]-105 was prepared to a 10-fold final concentration in assay buffer + 20% DMSO, and 25 μL was added to the assay plate to a final assay concentration of 3.0 nM. The plate was incubated at 37°C for 90 minutes. Unbound and bound ligands were separated by filtering the bound ligands on a GF / B filter plate (pre-treated with 0.1% PEI for 30 minutes) using a Packard Filtermate, and washing the unbound ligands with 2.5 mL of ice-cold 5 mM Tris (pH 7.4). The filter plate was dried at 57°C for 1 hour, and 50 μL of Microscint was added to each well of the plate. The plate was counted for 3H cpm for 1 minute per well using a PerkinElmer TopCount.

[0287] Procedure for processing radioactive ligand saturation binding data in human cortical PD tissue homogenates rich in aggregated α-synuclein and human cortical AD tissue homogenates rich in aggregated Aβ pathogenesis.

[0288] Banner Parkinson's disease (PD; Braak stage 5 / 6) brain homogenates were obtained through the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) tissue consortium. Tissue preparation for characterization and integration studies of such brain tissues was performed using the method described in U.S. Patent No. 2019 / 0256492, paragraphs 0242-0244. Banner PD brain homogenates, derived from postmortem brain tissue of PD-diagnosed donors, were prepared using cingulate cortex samples taken from multiple PD brains that were rich in α-synuclein pathogenesis but lacked amyloidopathogenesis and tauopathy upon neuropathological verification. The final concentration of Banner PD brain homogenates was 333 mg wet weight per 1 mL of buffer. The homogenates were divided into 1 mL / tube portions and stored at -70°C before use.

[0289] Frozen human brain samples from Alzheimer's disease (AD) were purchased from Analytic Biological Services Inc. These were postmortem tissues from donors clinically diagnosed with AD and were validated for amyloid pathology by intravascular heating (IH). Frontal cortical brain homogenates were prepared by homogenizing the frontal cortex in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4) at 4°C for 30 seconds using a Polytron set to 6. The final concentration of the brain homogenate was 10 mg of moist tissue per 1 mL of buffer. The homogenate was divided into 5 mL / tube portions and stored at -70°C before use.

[0290] [ 3 H]-1 was synthesized as described in the procedure briefly outlined above. 3 The specific activity of H-1 is 196.6 Ci / mmol in a volume of 3.9 mCi / mL.

[0291] Hot saturated binding assays were performed individually at nine concentrations ranging from 60.0 nM to 0.6 nM to evaluate the binding of radioligands to Banner PD brain homogenate and ABS AD brain homogenate. Brain homogenates were diluted from their original 30 mg / mL volume to 2.0 mg / mL (ABS AD) or 2.8 mg / mL (Banner PD) with PBS buffer. Total binding was defined in the absence of competing compounds, and non-substitutable binding was measured in the presence of 1 μM of unlabeled self-blocking. The assay buffer was 30 nM Tris (pH 7.5) containing 0.1% BSA. Assay tubes were pre-incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes, and then diluted radioligands (10-fold) were added to the assay tubes (10 μL each, separately) to a final volume of 100 μL per tube. Incubation was performed at 37°C for 120 minutes, after which the assay samples were filtered onto a GF / C filter using a Skatron 12-well harvester and washed with ice-cold buffer (30 nM Tris pH 7.5) at a setting of 5-5-5 (approximately 3 × 2 ml). The GF / C filter paper for the Skatron harvester was pre-soaked in 0.1% BSA at room temperature for 1 hour before use. The filters were punched into scintillation vials and counted for 1 minute on a 2 mL Ultima Gold on a Perkin Elmer Tri-Carb 2900TR. Data analysis was performed using Prism software. All assays were performed in 3 replicates in a laboratory designated for human tissue studies.

Frozen human brain samples from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients were provided by the Banner Sun Health Institute (USA) through a collaborative research project with the Michael J Fox Foundation (MJFF). These were postmortem tissues from donors clinically diagnosed with PD and whose PD pathology was confirmed by neuropathological verification. Cortical brain homogenates were prepared by homogenizing the cortex in ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.4) at 4°C for 30 seconds using a Polytron set to 6. The final concentration of the brain homogenate was 30 mg of moist tissue per 1 mL of buffer. The homogenates were divided into 1 mL / tube portions and stored at -70°C before use.
