Description

ALOX inhibitors and uses thereof TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and specifically relates to ALOX inhibitors and their use in the prevention and / or treatment of diseases associated with or mediated by ALOX, and further relates to compounds useful for inhibiting ALOX, and in particular to ALOX15 inhibitors and their use in the prevention and / or treatment of diseases associated with or mediated by ALOX15. BACKGROUND

[0002] Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (ALOX15) is a member of the arachidonate lipoxygenase (ALOX) family, an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of various unsaturated fatty acids such as arachidonic acid and linoleic acid, and is believed to contribute to the pathophysiology of various immune and inflammatory diseases by producing various bioactive lipid mediators (Singh and Rao, 2019, Prog. Lipid Res., vol. 73: p. 28). In humans, ALOX15 is constitutively expressed in immature red blood cells, eosinophils, airway epithelial cells, resident macrophages, and other cells, and its expression is known to be strongly upregulated by the Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 (Singh and Rao, 2019, Prog. Lipid Res., vol. 73: p. 28; Snodgrass and Brune, 2019, Front Pharmacol., vol. 10: p. 719; Liu et al., 2009, Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol., vol. 297: p. L196; Zhao et al., 2011, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA., vol. 108: p. 14246; Li et al., 2019, J Allergy Clin Immunol., vol. 144: p. 1228; Wang et al., 2022, Nat Immunol., vol. 23: p. 1484).

[0003] Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a refractory sinusitis characterized mainly by type 2 inflammation and eosinophilic infiltration (Stevens et al., 2019, J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract, 7:2812). Large-scale GWAS studies revealed that loss-of-function variants in ALOX15 are associated with a reduced risk of nasal polyps and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), and the variant does not increase the risk of other diseases (Kristjansson et al., 2019, Nat Genet, 51:267). It has been reported that ALOX15 expression in nasal polyp tissue is increased in eosinophilic CRSwNP patients and is associated with the severity of the disease (Bangert et al., 2022, Front Immunol, 13:850494; Liang et al., 2020, Allergy Asthma Clin Immunol, 16:82). Studies have also shown that the number of ALOX15-positive macrophages and dendritic cells is increased in the nasal mucosa of eosinophilic CRSwNP patients (Wang et al., 2022, Nat Immunol, 23:1484). In vitro studies have shown that stimulation of human nasal epithelial cells with IL-13 increases the expression of ALOX15, thereby promoting the expression and secretion of the eosinophilic chemokine CCL26 (Li et al., 2019, J Allergy Clin Immunol, 144:1228). It has also been reported that stimulation of human macrophages with IL-4 or IL-13 promotes the secretion of chemokines such as CCL13, CCL17, CCL18, and CCL24, which are involved in the migration of eosinophils and T cells, associated with an increase in ALOX15 expression (Wang et al., 2022, Nat Immunol, 23:1484). Therefore, ALOX15 inhibitors are expected to be useful for the prevention and / or treatment of CRSwNP, as well as allergic asthma and eosinophilic esophagitis, for which drugs targeting Th2 cytokines or their receptors are highly effective (Kyriakopoulos et al., 2024, Eur Respir Rev, 33:230238; Nhu and Aceves, 2023, Ann Allergy Asthma Immunol, 130:15). Furthermore, ALOX15 controls ferroptosis, a form of cell death caused by the accumulation of iron-dependent lipid oxidants (Hu et al., 2022, Cells, 11:2040).Therefore, ALOX15 inhibitors are expected to be useful for preventing and / or treating diseases associated with ferroptosis, such as Friedreich's ataxia, inherited mitochondrial respiratory chain diseases, inherited epilepsy, Leigh syndrome, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The mixture was incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature before the addition of 6 μL of DPPP (TCI; #D2404) and 8 μL of arachidonic acid (Sigma; #A3611). The final assay conditions were 10 nM hALOX15, 70 μM arachidonic acid, 5 μM DPPP and multiple concentrations of compound in buffer (PBS). The assay plate was incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature in the dark before fluorescence was measured using a PHERAstar FS (BMG Labtech) at an excitation wavelength of 330 nm and an emission wavelength set to 410 nm. IC 50 values were calculated by non-linear regression using Dotmatics software.
