Abstract
Description
Novel compound and composition containing the same for preventing or treating eye diseases
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel compound and a composition for preventing or treating eye diseases comprising the same, and more particularly, to a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1 or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating eye diseases comprising the compound; a method for preventing or treating eye diseases comprising administering the pharmaceutical composition; an autophagy activating composition comprising the compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; a food composition for preventing or improving eye diseases; and a feed composition:
[0002] [Chemical Formula 1]
[0003]
[0004]
[0005] Light can be divided into ultraviolet rays, visible light, and infrared rays according to wavelength. Visible light is the light that can be commonly seen by the human eye, and its wavelength corresponds to the range of 380 to 780 nm. Among these, the blue series that exists between 380 and 500 nm can be classified as blue light, and this short-wavelength blue light has high energy and passes through the lens to affect retinal epithelial cells.
[0006] Humans are constantly exposed to blue light because they must adapt to constant changes in light, both indoors and outdoors. This leads to increased eye fatigue, which can trigger a vicious cycle of macular degeneration and vision loss. Furthermore, with the recent increase in electronic device use due to changes in our living environment, we are exposed to blue light not only from displays on smart devices like TVs, computers, and smartphones, but also from LED lighting devices. Research is being conducted on the potential harmful effects on the human body.
[0007] Moreover, the smartphone usage rate among adults in Korea was 97% as of 2022, the highest among the countries surveyed, and the age of smartphone use or usage is also decreasing every year.
[0008] The macula, the central nerve tissue of the retina, is located at the innermost part of the eye. It is home to the majority of photoreceptor cells and is where images are formed, making it crucial for vision. However, the macula can develop vision impairment due to various factors, including aging, genetics, toxicity, and inflammation. This condition, called macular degeneration, can lead to blindness in severe cases.
[0009] In addition, it is known that the accumulation of lipofuscin in the central part of the retina is greatest in the retinal pigment epithelial cells located beneath the central part of the retina. N-retinyl N-retinylidene ethanolamine (A2E) is the main chromophore of lipofuscin, and it causes the production of reactive oxygen species when exposed to blue light. In addition, visual impairment due to retinal cell dysfunction is closely related to the oxidation of A2E, and therefore can be a major cause of eye diseases including macular degeneration. Meanwhile, autophagy is a self-digestive system in which cellular components are broken down and recycled as a source of nutrients and energy. Aged or dysfunctional cellular organelles and damaged or improperly folded proteins are the targets of autophagy, and it regulates the protein degradation process essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and genetic stability. It plays a central role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating chemical metabolism, mitigating the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by regenerating damaged or long-lived mitochondria, and protecting cells from internal and external stimuli such as nutrient deficiency, oxygen depletion, invasion by pathogens including bacteria and viruses, and UV exposure. Consequently, if autophagy is not properly regulated, various diseases related to cellular homeostasis can develop.
[0010] As a prior study, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2023-0140410 disclosed a 3-phenylisoxazole derivative and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating eye diseases containing the same as an active ingredient.
[0011] Against this backdrop, the present invention was completed by researching compounds that are effective in treating diseases related to autophagy, particularly ophthalmic diseases such as dry macular degeneration, dry eye, eye fatigue, and decreased vision caused by aging and blue light, and confirming that a 4-phenyl-triazole derivative compound represented by chemical formula 1 inhibits death of human retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) induced by A2E and blue light, removes A2E-fluorescent markers and A2E in ARPE-19, and activates autophagy.

[0419] To evaluate autophagy activity by treatment with the compound represented by the above chemical formula 1, Western immunoblotting was performed using human retinal pigment epithelial cells, ARPE-19, to confirm whether LC3-II, one of the major indicator proteins of autophagy activation, increased.
[0420] Specifically, the ARPE-19 cell line was cultured at 1×10 5 Cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a concentration of 10 cells / well and cultured for 24 h. The cells were then treated with the compound (GS-32) at concentrations of 25 and 50 μM for 6 h. Subsequently, a cell lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors (50 mM Tris-chloride, pH 8.0, 150 mM sodium chloride, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate, and 2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid) was added to prepare a cell lysate. LC3-II levels were measured using an anti-LC3-II antibody (Cell Signaling Technology, MA, USA), and an antibody against β-actin (Cell Signaling Technology) was used as an internal control.
[0421] As a result, as shown in Fig. 1a, it was confirmed that the level of LC3-II, an autophagy marker, increased in a concentration-dependent manner.
[0422]
[0423] In addition, when autophagy is activated, LC3-Ⅱ is involved in autophagosome formation, forming puncta in the cytoplasm, and thus intracellular autophagosome formation was observed.
[0424] Specifically, ARPE-19 cells were transfected with a plasmid expressing RFP-GFP-LC3 (Addgene Inc. MA, USA) using Lipofectamine™ 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After 48 h of incubation, the cells were treated with the compound (GS-32) at concentrations of 10, 25, and 50 μM. After an additional 12 h of incubation, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and then washed three times with PBS every 5 min. Finally, the puncta formation of RFP-GFP-LC3 was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope. The nuclei were stained with 1 μg / mL Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA).
[0425] As a result, as shown in Fig. 1b, treatment with the compound resulted in an increase in intracellular GFP-LC3-II puncta (GFP), but a more marked increase in RFP-LC3-II puncta was observed. When these two images were merged, RFP-LC3-II puncta were observed to be significantly more predominant.
[0426] The above results indicate that the compound of the present invention activates the autophagic flux.
[0427]
[0428] Experimental Example 2. Confirmation of removal of A2E-fluorescent labeling substance by compound
[0429]
[0430] Fluorescence spectrophotometry
[0431] In order to evaluate the intracellular A2E removal ability by treatment with the compound represented by the above chemical formula 1, an easily detectable A2E-fluorescent labeling substance (A2E-BDP) was used.
[0432] Specifically, the ARPE-19 cell line was cultured at 5×103 Cells / well were dispensed into 96-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. To induce A2E-BDP accumulation in ARPE-19 cells, A2E-BDP was treated at a concentration of 10 μM for 24 hours. The A2E-BDP-containing ARPE-19 cells were treated once with the compound (GS-32) or the compound of Comparative Example 1 (2, 10, 25 μM) and cultured for 24 hours. Cells were lysed by adding a cell lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor to each 96-well, and the cell lysate was transferred to a white 96-well plate, and the fluorescence intensity was measured (excitation 485 nm, emission 535 nm) using a fluorescence microplate reader (VICTOR™ X3, PerkinElmer, USA).
[0433] As a result, as shown in Figures 2a and 2b, it was confirmed that the removal rate of A2E-fluorescent labeling substance (A2E-BDP) accumulated in ARPE-19 cells increased in a concentration-dependent manner by treatment with the compound. In addition, it was confirmed that it exhibited superior A2E removal ability than the compound of Comparative Example 1.
[0434]
[0435] Experimental Example 2-1. Confirmation of A2E removal by compound treatment
[0436]
[0437] HPLC method
[0438] A2E-BDP, confirmed in the above experimental example 2, is known to have the same intracellular dynamics and characteristics as A2E, but since the substance actually existing in the body is A2E, the quantitative change in intracellular A2E was directly measured using the HPLC method.
[0439] Specifically, the ARPE-19 cell line was cultured at 4×10 3Cells / well were dispensed into 6-well plates and cultured for 24 hours. After that, ARPE-19 cells were treated with A2E at a concentration of 50 μM for 48 hours to accumulate A2E within the cells. To evaluate the A2E removal ability, A2E-containing ARPE-19 cells were treated with the compound (GS-32) or the compound of Comparative Example 1 at 50 μM for 24 hours. After that, ARPE-19 cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and a cell lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor was added to prepare a cell homogenate. Chloroform and methanol (2:1, v / v) were added to the cell homogenate, shaken to extract A2E, and centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 minutes. The organic phase was dried under vacuum and redissolved in 100 mL of acetonitrile. LC-MS (Shimadzu LC-MS 2010EV) analysis was performed using a C18 column (2'50 mm) with acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid (gradient, 0-100%, 0-10 min; flow rate 1.0 ml / min; monitoring at 503 nm). All operations during the extraction of A2E present in the cytoplasm of ARPE-19 cells were performed under weak red light to prevent destruction of A2E.
[0440] As a result, as shown in Fig. 3, it was confirmed that the amount of A2E in ARPE-19 cells accumulated in A2E was significantly reduced by treatment with the compound of the present invention. In addition, it was confirmed that it exhibited superior A2E removal ability than the compound of Comparative Example 1.
[0441] The above results suggest that the compound represented by the above chemical formula 1 directly removes A2E present in ARPE-19 cells.

The cells treated with the derivatives were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and then washed three times with PBS every 5 min. Finally, the intracellular accumulated A2E was observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Nikon, Minato, Tokyo, Japan). The nuclei were stained with 1 μg / mL Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA).

[0463]
[0464] Experimental Example 6. Inhibition of retinal damage in an animal model
[0465]
[0466] Exposure to blue light is a factor that increases oxidative stress in the retina, and the improving effects of the compound of the present invention were evaluated using a blue light-induced retinal damage animal model (Balb / c mice). All tests were conducted at the Non-Clinical Center of the Bio Headquarters (Songdo, Korea) of the Korea Conformity Laboratories (KCL) and were approved by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee (Approval No.: IA20-04287).
[0467] Specifically, 80 specific pathogen-free (SPF) male BALB / c mice (Orient Bio, Korea) (5 weeks old) were acclimatized for 1 week. Body weight was measured the day before dosing, and only animals within ±20% of the mean body weight were used in the test. After group separation, the mice were kept in a dark room for 24 hours, and dark conditions were maintained throughout the blue light exposure period.
[0468] After anesthetizing the experimental animals with isoflurane, blue light of 10,000 lux was irradiated for a total of 14 times (1 hr / day) for 2 weeks using a blue light irradiation device. The test substance was prepared by dissolving HP-beta-cyclodextrin in a 5% CMC Na solution to make a 10% concentration, and the compound GS-32 of the present invention was dissolved in it. The dose was 25 mg / kg / day for each experimental animal, with 10 ml / kg / day as the administration amount. The test substance was administered orally by force using an oral administration sonde (feeding needle) after grasping and correcting the skin on the dorsum of the test animal, once / day, for 7 days / week, for 4 weeks, in the morning on the day of administration. The initial 2 weeks overlapped with the blue light irradiation period, and administration was performed for a total of 4 weeks, adding 2 weeks after the end of blue light irradiation. On the day of administration, the test substance was administered before blue light irradiation. Before the start of administration and once a week, mydriatic agents were instilled into both eyes of all animals to dilate the pupils. The fundus of the eyes was observed using a fundus camera (Genesis-D, Kowa Co. Ltd., Japan). Photographs were taken of each animal the week after the end of test substance administration.
[0469] After the experiment, both eyes of all animals were enucleated, fixed in Davidson's solution, and stained with H&E. The average thickness of the ONL (outer nuclear layer) and IS / OS (inner segments / outer segments layer) was measured at a location 140 μm (left / right) from the retinal nerve center using the Axio Vision SE644 (ZEISS) program. The ONL and IS / OS thickness of the contralateral eye were measured in a similar manner, and the average value of both eyes was used as the final thickness. One-way ANOVA test was used between each group, and statistical significance was determined when p<0.05 or less. The SPSS 12.0 K program (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA), a widely used commercial statistical package, was used for statistical analysis.
[0470] As a result, as shown in Figures 7a to 7c, retinal damage was confirmed in the blue light irradiation control group compared to the normal control group, but it was confirmed that the retinal damage was improved in the group administered 25 mg / kg / day of the compound orally as determined by fundus examination (Figure 7a). In addition, the results of histomorphometric analysis of ocular tissues showed that the ONL and IS / OS thicknesses were reduced in the blue light irradiation control group compared to the normal control group, but it was confirmed that they were statistically significantly (p<0.01) recovered by compound administration (Figures 7b and 7c). In addition, it was confirmed that the compound of Comparative Example 1 had a superior effect on improving retinal damage and restoring ocular tissue.
