Description

Further, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a pharmaceutically effective amount of the20 compound of formula I as well as the compound of formula I for use in medicine.Background of the invention The major protein degradation pathway in cells is the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). This system involves a network of proteins to polyubiquitinate and degrade protein substrates. Proteins are tagged for25 degradation with small protein called ubiquitin. The tagging reaction is catalyzed by enzymes called ubiquitinligases. Once a protein is tagged with a single ubiquitin molecule, this is a signal to other ligases to attach additional ubiquitin molecules. The result is a polyubiquitin chain that is bound by the proteasome, allowing it to degrade the tagged protein. The degradation process is performed by the 26S proteasome, which is comprised of a 19S regulatory30 particle (19S RP) and a 20S core particle (20S CP). The 20S CP is responsible for the hydrolysis activity,degrading proteins into shorter peptides, and is regulated by the 19S RP, which recognizes ubiquitinated substrates, removes ubiquitin, and coordinates the movement of the substrate in the catalytic core particle for degradation. The 20S CP alone can accept and degrade proteins in a ubiquitin-independent system (UIPS). In this case,35 proteins are not ubiquitinated and must be disordered enough to enter the catalytic core without beingdenatured by the 10S RP. The UIPS has been shown to paly an important role in the degradation of oxidatively damaged proteins during times of cellular stress. - 2 - Aging is a natural process accompanied by a progressive accumulation of damage in all constituent macromolecules (nucleic acids, lipids and proteins). Accumulation of damage in proteins leads to failure of proteostasis (or vice versa) due to increased levels of unfolded, misfolded or aggregated proteins and, in turn, to aging and / or age-related diseases. 5The proteasome and the lysosome have been shown to dysfunction during aging and age-related diseases,Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease. Regarding the proteasome, it is well established that it can be activated either through genetic manipulation or through treatment with natural or chemical compounds that eventually result to extension of lifespan or deceleration of the progression of age-related diseases. Stimulation of the 20S CP has recently been shown to be promoted by small molecules (see, for example,10 Coleman, Rachel A, et al.; Protein degradation profile reveals dynamic nature of 20S proteasome smallmolecule stimulation.2021, 636-644, RSC Chem. Biol.2, doi:10.1039 / D0CB00191K). Njomen and Tepe (in: Proteasome Activation as a New Therapeutic Approach To Target Proteotoxic Disorders. J Med Chem. 2019; 62(14):6469-6481. doi:10.1021 / acs.jmedchem.9b00101) review current approaches, genetic manipulation, posttranslational modification, and small molecule proteasome agonists15 used to increase proteasome activity, challenges facing the field, and applications beyond aging andneurodegenerative diseases. WO2021 / 034627 A1 relates to series compounds and methods of use for the treatment of a disease caused by abnormal regulation of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), and wherein said compound is an effective stimulator of the 20S core particle (CP) of the UPS.20 In contrast thereto, the compounds of formula I of the present invention function independently ofubiquitination. Coleman RA, et al. (in: Protein degradation profile reveals dynamic nature of 20S proteasome small molecule stimulation. RSC Chem Biol. 2021 Jan 5; 2(2):636-644.doi:10.1039 / d0cb00191k. PMID: 34458805; PMCID: PMC8341874) discuss that small molecules have been discovered to stimulate the 20S core particle (CP) of the proteasome to degrade proteins. They evaluate the effects of two stimulators on the25 whole cellular proteome in HEK-293T cells using label-free quantitative proteomic analysis for a broaderunderstanding on their impact. The development of more effective and selective molecules mediating proteasome degradation of undesired proteins is needed if they are to become useful in the treatment and / or prevention of diseases where30 undesired proteins and protein accumulation plays a role.The development of more effective and selective molecules mediating proteasome degradation of undesired proteins is needed if they are to become useful in the treatment and / or prevention of diseases where undesired proteins and protein accumulation plays a role.

Incubation of the compound at the different concentrations with the 20S CP of the proteasome and an activity probe (e.g., labelled protein or artificial substrate) may occur for, e.g., 30min at room temperature. DMSO or30 any other suitable agent may be used as a control for measuring basal activity.

Legend: +++ % > 350; ++ % 250<x<350; + %150<x<250. - 215 - Neuroprotection assessment The neuroprotective effects of compounds of the invention were evaluated in relevant models of Parkinson's disease using a primary culture of mesencephalic neurons from rats. Neurons were subjected to injury 5through the application of alpha-synuclein pre-formed fibrils (PFFs) or MPP+, both of which cause the deathof dopaminergic neurons and lead to the aggregation of alpha-synuclein (a-Syn). Neurons were injured with either a-Syn PFFs or MPP+ and treated with compounds of the invention. Subsequently, the neurons were immunostained using antibodies against Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH), which identifies dopaminergic neurons, and against a-Syn. The number of TH-positive neurons and the level of a-Syn aggregation in these neurons10 were quantified through automated imaging analysis. Neuroprotective effects were indicated by an increasein the number of TH-positive neurons and a reduction in a-Syn aggregation. Compounds 3, 1B, 1A, 76B, 20, 54A, 54B, 42B and 1 were tested and exhibited neuroprotective effects in the µM-range, some of the tested compounds even exhibited an effect <0.5 µM.15 In particular, the present invention relates to the following items:1.
