[0001]Novel Methods and Uses FieldThe invention relates inter alia to methods for identifying a substance useful for the preventionor treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity, anduses of said substances. Background of the Invention The mitochondria permeability transition pore (mPTP) is a high conductance channel residing on the inner mitochondrial membrane that is activated under certain conditions of cellular stress, in particular excessive Ca2+loading and oxidative stress. Due to the role of the mPTP in regulating oxidative phosphorylation and in mitochondria-related apoptosis or necrosis, it has been implicated in a number of degenerative and metabolic diseases. Indeed, although the precise molecular identity of the mPTP is not known, genetic or pharmacological inhibition of the peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase F (Ppif; Uniprot ID P30405; also known as cyclophilin D), which is accepted as a key regulator of the pore, significantly decreases the sensitivity of pore opening in response to Ca2+loading and other mPTP activators. Consequently, genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition of Ppif hasbeen utilised to evaluate involvement of the mPTP in pathological pathways in cell and animaldisease models. In particular, genetic knockout of Ppif was shown to be protective in variouspreclinical in vivo transgenic models of neurodegenerative disease including Alzheimer’sdisease, Parkinson’s disease and motor neuron disease, also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), demonstrating the therapeutic potential of mPTP inhibition. Accordingly, there has been significant interest in identifying new substances which are inhibitors of the mPTP, and which consequently may have utility in the prevention or treatmentof diseases related to the mPTP, such as degenerative and metabolic diseases. Indeed, thepresent inventors have previously identified novel compounds which inhibit mPTP activity. For example, see WO2022 / 049376, WO2022 / 049377, and WO2023 / 166303.However, due to the unknown molecular identity of the mPTP, and the complex interactionsbetween the mPTP and other agents which modulate mPTP activity, the precise mechanism by which inhibition of the mPTP was achieved by the aforementioned novel compounds has not been elucidated. It is desirable to clarify the mechanism by which mPTP inhibition is achieved as it may allow the efficiency of the compound screening, hit and lead identification, and lead optimisation processes to be improved.The present inventors have discovered that the novel compounds developed previously, whichinhibit the activity of the mPTP, bind to nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine richrepeat containing X1 protein (NLRX1; see Background Examples 1 and 2). Accordingly,inhibition of the activity of the mPTP by the novel compounds developed previously ismediated via binding to NLRX1.NLRX1 is a member of the NOD-like receptor (NLR) family of cytoplasmic pattern recognitionreceptors (PRRs), and so is understood to have an important role in innate immunity (Liu etal.2022). However, NLRX1 is at present the only NLR known to be located in mitochondria which therefore allows it to co-ordinate the link between mitochondrial function and innateimmunity (Chu et al. 2019). Indeed, NLRX1 has been shown to have an important role inmaintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and metabolic balance, as well as apoptosis and autophagy. NLRX1 is a known regulator of inflammation, although its precise role is somewhat unclear.For example, NLRX1 has been reported to weaken the innate immune response via (i)reduction in activation of the RIG-I-MAVS pathway in response to viral infection, for examplevia direct binding to the mitochondrial antiviral signal protein (MAVS) (Nagai-Singer et al.2019) or (ii) competition with the retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) protein resulting in reduced formation of the immunostimulatory interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) homodimer(Allen et al.2011). Moreover, due to its role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis, NLRX1may inhibit the inflammatory response which is activated upon infliction of damage to themitochondria (Chu et al. 2019). However, conversely, NLRX1 has also been reported to bepro-inflammatory in alternative contexts. For example, genetic knock-out of NLRX1 has been shown to dampen pro-apoptotic signalling and limit resultant cell death in mice suffering fromhyperoxic acute lung injury (Kim et al. 2023). Moreover, a deficiency in NLRX1 has beendemonstrated to result in an increase in the number of reparative macrophages, which are able to regulate the immune response and heal damaged tissue, in the context of ischaemicinjury (Li et al. 2023). Finally, NLRX1 has been reported to have a pro-inflammatory role inthe development of diet-induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (Costford et al.2018).In view of the known role of NLRX1 in regulating inflammation, it has been implicated in anumber of diseases. In particular, NLRX1 has been implicated in an experimental autoimmuneencephalomyelitis (EAE) model (Eitas et al. 2014) and, consequently, multiple sclerosis (MS)(Gharagozloo et al. 2019), which is itself an autoimmune disease characterised bymitochondrial dysfunction. Moreover, NLRX1 has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease since each of these conditions may be caused by a glutamate imbalance,whilst NLRX1 is known to regulate the glutamate cycle (Leber et al.2018).It should be noted that the above neurological degenerative diseases are also associated with the mPTP. Indeed, novel compounds developed previously by the present inventors, which inhibit the mPTP, have been indicated for use in the treatment of inter alia Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, and multiple sclerosis. The discovery by the present inventors thatsaid mPTP inhibitors actually bind to NLRX1 explains this overlap in disease association.In addition to the above-described central nervous system (CNS) disorders, NLRX1 is associated with a myriad of other diseases and conditions, which are not necessarilyassociated with the mPTP. For example, the role of NLRX1 in immunity, in particular innateimmunity, have led to studies which elucidate the association between NLRX1 andautoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory boweldisease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and atopic dermatitis (AD) (Jang et al. 2020;Triantafilou, 2021). Moreover, NLRX1 has been purported to have a role in cancer, forexample hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma,gastric cancer, and histiocytic sarcoma (Castaño-Rodríguez et al. 2015; Wang et al. 2017).NLRX1 has also been implicated in metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (Zenget al. 2017), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH) (Kors et al. 2018). In addition, due to its role in innate immunity, NLRX1 may clearlyhave a role in pathogen infection, for example wherein the pathogen is Helicobacter pylori(Castaño-Rodríguez et al. 2015) or influenza (Varga and Palese, 2011).In view of the association of NLRX1 with a diverse range of diseases and disorders, as summarised above, and the discovery made by the present inventors that inhibition of themPTP is mediated via binding to NLRX1, the present inventors have consequently discoveredthat said existing compounds may have utility in the treatment of a range of additional diseasesor disorders associated with altered NLRX1 activity.Furthermore, as noted above, there has been significant interest in identifying new substances which are inhibitors of the mPTP. However, there remains a significant challenge in identifying novel substances which may have mPTP inhibitory activity. Consequently, there remains a need for new and efficient methods for the identification of inhibitors of mPTP activity.The discovery made by the present inventors, that inhibition of mPTP activity is mediated viabinding to NLRX1, to which substances may be screened for binding. That is the presentinventors have discovered that screening existing, or new, substances for NLRX1 binding mayresult in new entities being identified which may be predicted to have mPTP inhibitory activity. The present invention therefore relates to novel methods and assays for screening existing,or new, substances for binding to NLRX1 and for mPTP inhibitory activity.Summary of the InventionThe present invention provides a method for identifying a substance useful for the preventionor treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity , whichmethod comprises determining whether said substance (i) binds to NLRX1 and (ii) inhibitsactivity of the mPTP and, if it does, identifying said substance as a substance useful for theprevention or treatment of said disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity.

In particular, there is provided a substance which (i) binds NLRX1 and (ii) inhibits the activity of the mPTP, for use in the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder,or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity. In a particular aspect of the presentinvention, there is provided a substance which is (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii)capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, which is identified by a method according to the present invention, for example a method described under the sub-heading ‘Methods for Identifying Substances for use according to the present invention’ below, for use in the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1activity. That is, there is provided a substance which (i) binds NLRX1 and (ii) inhibits theactivity of the mPTP, which is identified by a method according to the present invention, for example a method described under the sub-heading ‘Methods for Identifying Substances for use according to the present invention’ below, for use in the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity. As used herein, the terms ‘therapeutic effect’, ‘treatment’ or ‘treating’ include the control, mitigation, reduction or modulation of the state of the disease, disorder, or condition, or the symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition.As used herein, the terms ‘prophylactic effect’, ‘prophylaxis’, ‘prevention’, or ‘preventing’ referto, in addition to preventing the occurrence of a disease, disorder, or condition, preventingsymptoms of a disease, disorder, or condition in a subject, or preventing recurrence ofsymptoms of a disease, disorder, or condition, in an afflicted subject.As used herein, a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity maybe defined as any disease, disorder, or condition in which the activity of NLRX1 is thought or is known to contribute to the establishment, progression, maintenance, or symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, for example those diseases, disorders, and conditionsmentioned herein below. Suitably, the disease, disorder, or condition associated with alteredNLRX1 activity is associated with excessive or undesired activity of NLRX1, which may bedefined as any disease, disorder, or condition in which the activity of NLRX1 at a level whichexceeds the activity of NLRX1 within a normal range, or its dysregulation, in particular in ahealthy individual, is thought or is known to contribute to the establishment, progression,maintenance, or symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, for example those diseases, disorders, and conditions mentioned herein below. As discussed above, the present inventors have discovered that the mitochondria permeability transition pore (mPTP) is regulated by NLRX1, and that inhibition of mPTP by existingcompounds is mediated via binding to NLRX1. Without being limited by theory, said bindingto NLRX1 is believed to lead to regulatory modulation of NLRX1, for example, activation orinhibition of NLRX1 activity (such as NLRX1 signalling activity), particularly inhibition of NLRX1activity. Therefore, in any of the above-described aspects of the invention, the substance which binds to NLRX1 is suitably capable of inhibiting the activity of NLRX1, i.e. the substance which binds to NLRX1 is an inhibitor of NLRX1. Accordingly, suitably, the present inventionprovides methods for identifying inhibitors of NLRX1 which are useful for the prevention ortreatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity, and further provides inhibitors of NLRX1 activity which have been identified by methods according to the present invention.Therefore, diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with altered NLRX1 activity include(i) diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with activation of the mPTP, and (ii) otherdiseases, disorders, or conditions associated with altered NLRX1 activity , i.e. but which arenot defined herein as diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with activation of the mPTP(herein referred to as “Other NLRX1-Related Diseases, Disorders or Conditions”).As used herein, a disease, disorder, or condition associated with activation of the mitochondriapermeability transition pore (mPTP) may be defined as any disease, disorder, or condition inwhich the activity of the mPTP at a level which exceeds the activity of the mPTP within a normal range, in particular in a healthy individual, is thought or is known to contribute to the establishment, progression, maintenance, or symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition,for example those diseases, disorders, and conditions mentioned herein below. Suitably, thedisease, disorder, or condition associated with activation of the mPTP is associated withexcessive activity of the mPTP, which may be defined as any disease, disorder, or conditionin which the activity of the mPTP at a level which exceeds the activity of the mPTP within anormal range, in particular in a healthy individual, is thought or is known to contribute to the establishment, progression, maintenance, or symptoms of the disease, disorder, or condition, for example those diseases, disorders, and conditions mentioned herein below.

In any of the above-described aspects of the invention, substances which are capable ofbinding to NLRX1 suitably are substances capable of regulatory modulation of NLRX1, forexample activation or inhibition of NLRX1 activity (such as NLRX1 signalling activity),particularly inhibition of NLRX1 activity. Accordingly, the present invention suitably providessubstances which are (i) capable of binding to and inhibiting the activity of NLRX1, i.e.inhibitors of NLRX1, and (ii) capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, for use in theprevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity, for example a disease, disorder, or condition, which is associated with activation ofthe mPTP or an Other NLRX1-Related Disease, Disorder or Condition.Methods for Identifying Substances for use according to the present invention As described above, the present invention relates to methods for identifying a substance useful for the prevention or treatment of a disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity, which method comprises determining whether said substance (i) binds to NLRX1 and (ii) inhibits activity of the mPTP and, if it does, identifying said substance as a substance useful for the prevention or treatment of said disease, disorder, or conditionassociated with altered NLRX1 activity. That is, the method of the present invention comprisesstep (i) of determining whether a substance binds to NLRX1, and step (ii) of determiningwhether a substance inhibits the activity of the mPTP.In one aspect, the method of the present invention is an in vitro method. In an alternative, lesspreferred, aspect, the method of the present invention is an in vivo method.In one aspect, the method of the present invention comprises step (i) of determining whether a substance binds to NLRX1, wherein the determination of whether a substance binds toNLRX1 is performed by means comprising a thermal shift assay of NLRX1 binding. Suitably,the thermal shift assay is a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA). Therefore, in one aspect, thepresent invention provides an assay method for a substance that binds to NRLX1 which comprises means comprising a thermal shift assay of NLRX1 binding. For example, in one aspect, the present invention provides an assay method for a substance that binds to NRLX1which comprises means comprising a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) of NLRX1 binding. Typically, a thermal shift assay measures changes in the thermal denaturation temperature and hence stability of a protein under varying conditions, in particular drug / ligand concentration. Specifically, the binding of a drug / ligand may increase the thermal stability of atarget protein, as described in Koshland, 1958. Measuring the thermal shift of a protein maybe achieved via a number of techniques including differential scanning fluorimetry orthermofluor. In a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), protein thermal shift / melting curves aregenerated in intact cells. In particular, in a CETSA, denatured proteins, including a target protein, are aggregated and removed by centrifugation following lysis of intact cells. Stable proteins in the resultant supernatant can be identified via a number of techniques includingWestern Blotting, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), or mass spectrometry.Therefore, suitably, the cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) according to the present inventioncomprises:(i) contacting a test substance with cells expressing NLRX1 to produce a test sample;(ii) exposing the test sample to a stepwise heat challenge;(iii) calculating the Tm value of the test sample; and(iv) comparing the Tm value of the test sample to the Tm value of a control sample;wherein binding to NLRX1 is indicated by an increased Tm value of the test sample relative to the Tm value of a control sample. Suitably, step (ii) of exposing the test sample to a stepwise heat challenge comprises exposing samples to a 3 step, for example a 4 step, for example a 5 step, for example a 6 step, for example an 8 step, for example a 10 step, for example a 12 step heat challenge. For the avoidance of doubt, a stepwise heat challenge is a process by which a test sample, typically via separation into aliquots, is exposed to a series of specific temperatures within a defined range. For example, a 3 step heat challenge involves exposure of a test sample to 3 different temperatures within a defined range. Suitably, the heat challenge of step (ii) is performed between 40 and 100oC, such as between 45 and 85oC, such as between 50 and 75oC. Step (iii) of calculating the Tm value i.e. the temperature at which 50% of melting is achieved, of test samples, is performed firstly by quantifying the amount of melted NLRX1 in the test sample at each step of the stepwise heat challenge, plotting said amounts against temperature, and calculating the temperature at which 50% of melting is achieved. Indeed, the calculation of the Tm value is described in Binding Example 1 below. Therefore, suitably,step (iii) of calculating the Tm value of the test sample further comprises a process of WesternBlotting, in particular wherein NLRX1 (e.g. melted NLRX1) is targeted with an anti-NLRX1antibody and said anti-NLRX1 antibody is targeted with a secondary antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase. Suitably, the activity of the horseradish peroxidase, which represents the amount of NLRX1 (e.g. melted NLRX1) in a test sample, is measured viachemiluminescence. Alternatively, NLRX1 (e.g. melted NLRX1) is targeted with an anti-NLRX1 antibody and said anti-NLRX1 antibody is targeted with a secondary antibody conjugated to a dye, such as a fluorescent dye, in particular an infra-red or near-infra-red dye.Suitably, the fluorescence of the dye, such as the infra-red or near-infra-red dye, whichrepresents the amount of NLRX1 (e.g. melted NLRX1) in a test sample, is measured via infra- red fluorescence imaging. Suitably, step (iv) of comparing the Tm value of the test sample to the Tm value of a controlsample comprises comparison to a control sample to which no test substance was addedand / or comparison to a control sample to which vehicle, or an alternative known inactive test substance was added. Suitably, the Tm value of test samples is increased, relative to the control sample, by 0.5oC or more, such as by 0.75oC or more, such as by 1oC or more, such as by 1.2oC or more, such as by 1.5oC or more.A particularly suitable example of a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) is described in detailin NLRX1 Binding Example 1 below. Similarly, the utility of such a CETSA in identifying compounds that can bind to NLRX1 is demonstrated in NLRX1 Binding Example 1 below. In an alternative aspect, the method of the present invention comprises step (i) of determining whether a substance binds to NLRX1, wherein the determination of whether a substance bindsto NLRX1 is performed by means comprising a filtration binding assay of NLRX1 binding. Inone aspect, the present invention provides an assay method for a substance that binds toNRLX1 which comprises means comprising a filtration binding assay of NLRX1 binding.Typically, a filtration binding assay measures the binding affinity between two molecules bymeans of a method involving a filtration step which separates bound from unbound molecules.In one embodiment of such a filtration binding assay, a first molecule, typically a protein (andin this case NLRX1), is mixed with a second molecule, typically a ligand or DNA. The amount of ligand bound to the protein can then be quantified by filtration-based separation of the protein from the unbound ligand. The first molecule, i.e. protein, is retained on the filter following filtration and only the second molecule, i.e. ligand, bound to the first molecule, i.e. protein, is retained, whilst unbound second molecule, i.e. ligand, passes through the filter. The amount of second molecule, i.e. ligand, bound to the first molecule, i.e. protein, and therefore retained on the filter may be ascertained via mass spectrometry. Alternatively, this methodmay involve use of a radioisotope labelled second molecule, i.e. ligand (radioligand), withdetection achieved via liquid scintillation. Alternatively, the second molecule, i.e. ligand, may be fluorescently labelled and detection of bound ligand may be achieved via chemiluminescence. Upon evaluating the amount of second molecule, i.e. ligand bound to the first molecule, i.e. protein, at different concentrations of the second molecule, i.e. ligand, the binding affinity of the second molecule, i.e. ligand, for the first molecule, i.e. protein, can be determined.Alternatively a first molecule, typically a protein (and in this case NLRX1), is presented orplaced on a filter. Subsequently, the second test molecule, typically a ligand or DNA, is applied to the filter (in solution) and is only retained by the filter upon specific binding to the first molecule. This specific binding may be ascertained via a number of different techniques, suchas mass spectrometry or fluorescent labelling or radioisotope labelling and measurement vialiquid scintillation. Therefore, suitably, the filtration binding assay according to the present invention comprises: (i) contacting a test substance with NLRX1, to produce a test sample; (ii) filtering the test sample through a filter, on which NLRX1 is retained;(iii) detecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of test substance which is retained onthe filter;wherein binding to NLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of testsubstance retained on the filter.Alternatively, the filtration binding assay according to the present invention comprises:(i) contacting a probe substance, which binds to NLRX1, with membranes on which NLRX1 ispresent; (ii) filtering test substances through a filter, in the presence of said membranes on whichNLRX1 is present; and(iii) detecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of test substance binding to membraneson which NLRX1 is present, or detecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of probesubstance displaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present;wherein binding to NLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of testsubstance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present or detection, and optionalquantification, of probe substance displaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 ispresent.Suitably, membranes on which NLRX1 is present are membranes expressing NLRX1, forexample which have been produced from cells expressing NLRX1. Alternatively, membranes on which NLRX1 is present are membranes onto which NLRX1 is attached. Suitably, step (ii) of filtering the test sample through a filter, on which NLRX1 is retained, orfiltering test substances through said membranes on which NLRX1 is present comprisesfiltration via centrifugation. Alternatively, step (ii) of filtering the test sample through a filter, onwhich NLRX1 is retained or filtering test substances through said membranes on which NLRX1is present comprises vacuum-based aspiration. Suitably, step (iii) of detecting, and optionally, quantifying the amount of test substance whichis retained on the filter is achieved via mass spectrometry, for example using a process ofliquid chromatography, for example, ultra high-performance liquid chromatography, inparticular using a C18 column; Poroshell 120 E-C18, Agilent, coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The filter used in the aforementioned filtration binding assays may comprise glass fibre paper or nitrocellulose paper, in particular glass fibre paper. Alternatively, step (iii) of detecting, and optionally, quantifying the amount of test substance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present, or detecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of probe substance displaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 ispresent comprises detecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of probe substancedisplaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present. When step (iii) comprisesdetecting, and optionally quantifying, the amount of probe substance displaced from bindingto membranes on which NLRX1 is present, said step comprises a process of liquidchromatography, for example, ultra high-performance liquid chromatography, in particularusing a C18 column; Poroshell 120 E-C18, Agilent, coupled to triple quadrupole massspectrometer.Suitably, binding to NLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of testsubstance retained on the filter on which NLRX1 is retained. More suitably, binding to NLRX1is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of an increased amount of test substanceretained on the filter on which NLRX1 is retained relative to a control sample. Suitably, acontrol sample used in the filtration binding assay described above is a sample to which no test substance was added or to which vehicle, or an alternative known inactive test substance was added. Suitably, binding to NLRX1 is detected, either via detection of an increased amount of test substance retained on the filter on which NLRX1 is retained at an amount that is in accordance with one or more of the suitable EC50, IC50, pIC50, and Ki values described below.Alternatively, binding to NLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of testsubstance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is retained or is present. Alternatively,binding to NLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of probe substancedisplaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present. More suitably, binding toNLRX1 is indicated by detection, and optional quantification, of an increased amount of testsubstance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present or detection, and optionalquantification, of an increased amount of probe substance displaced from binding tomembranes on which NLRX1 is present, relative to a control sample. Suitably, a controlsample used in the filtration binding assay described above is a sample to which no testsubstance was added or to which vehicle, or an alternative known inactive test substance wasadded. Suitably, binding to NLRX1 is detected either via detection of an increased amount oftest substance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present or detection of an increased amount of probe substance displaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present, is specific binding to NLRX1. Suitably, said specific binding is identified via exposure of test substances to NLRX1 expressing membranes in the presence of an excess concentration of a competing compound, or via exposure of test substances to NLRX1 knock-out cell membranes, or via exposure of said test substances to alternative proteins to which they do not bind. Suitably, binding to NLRX1 is detected, either via detection of an increased amount of test substance binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present or detection of an increased amount of probe substance displaced from binding to membranes on which NLRX1 is present, at an amount that is in accordance with one or more of the suitable EC50, IC50, pIC50, and Ki values described below.A particularly suitable example of a filtration binding assay is described in detail in NLRX1Binding Example 2 below. Similarly, the utility of such a filtration binding assay in identifyingcompounds that can bind to NLRX1 is demonstrated in NLRX1 Binding Example 2 below.In a further alternative aspect, the method of the present invention comprises step (i) of determining whether a substance binds to NLRX1, wherein the determination of whether asubstance binds to NLRX1 is performed by means comprising a proximity assay of NLRX1binding. Suitably, the proximity assay is a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)assay, and in particular is a nano-BRET assay, of NLRX1 binding. Therefore, in one aspect, the present invention provides an assay method for a substance that binds to NRLX1 whichcomprises means comprising a proximity assay of NLRX1 binding. For example, in oneaspect, the present invention provides an assay method for a substance that binds to NRLX1which comprises means comprising a bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET)assay, and in particular a nano-BRET assay, of NLRX1 binding. Typically, a proximity assay directly detects interaction of proteins, extracellular vesicles, and other cellular components. Specifically, two different primary antibodies are typically raised, indifferent animal species, against two proteins or cellular components of interest. In turn,secondary antibodies are raised which target the constant region of said primary antibodies. Each of the secondary antibodies is typically conjugated to a short, sequence-specific DNA molecule. When the two proteins or cellular components of interest are in close proximity, the DNA strands conjugated to the secondary antibodies can participate in rolling circle DNA synthesis upon subsequent addition of appropriate substrates and enzymes. When the DNA circle has been amplified via the rolling circle DNA synthesis, fluorescently labelled complementary oligonucleotides can be added, which binds to amplified DNA, and omit levels of fluorescence which may be detected. It will be understood that proximity assays may be adapted to use alternative mechanisms for generating fluorescent signals upon two proteins or cellular components of interest coming into close proximity. For example, one secondary antibody may be conjugated to a fluorophore donor, and the other secondary antibody may be conjugated to a fluorophore acceptor. A BRET assay is a specific example of a proximity assay which takes advantage of the natural phenomenon of dipole-dipole energy transfer from a luminescence donor to a fluorophoreacceptor. Typically, a first protein or cellular component of interest is conjugated to aluminescence donor, typically an enzyme such as luciferase, and a second protein or cellular component of interest is conjugated to a fluorophore acceptor, such as a fluorescent protein such as green-fluorescent protein (GFP), or yellow-fluorescent protein (YFP). When the two proteins or cellular components of interest come into close proximity, typically less than 10 nm, energy is transferred from the luminescence donor to the fluorophore acceptor, resulting in a fluorescent signal being produced. A nano-BRET assay is a further limitation to the BRET assay in which a smaller, brighter, and more stable luciferase (nano-luciferase) is used resulting in a high fluorescence emission intensity and improved spectral resolution, which in turn improves the sensitivity and range of existing BRET assays.Therefore, suitably, the BRET or nano-BRET assay according to the present inventioncomprises:(i) contacting a test substance with cells expressing an NLRX1-luciferase construct to producea test sample;(ii) contacting a tracer molecule, which comprises a substance known to bind to NLRX1 anda substance which is required for luciferase activity, with the test sample; and(iii) contacting luciferase substrate with the test sample; and(iv) quantifying the luciferase signal of the test sample; wherein binding to NLRX1 is indicated by a decrease in the luciferase signal relative to a control sample. Alternatively, suitably, the BRET or nano-BRET assay according to the present invention comprises: (i) contacting a test substance with cells expressing an NLRX1-luciferase construct to produce a test sample; (ii) contacting a tracer molecule, which comprises a substance known to bind to NLRX1 and a substance which is required for luciferase activity, with the test sample; and (iii) contacting luciferase substrate with the test sample; and(iv) quantifying the light emission signal of the NLRX1-luciferase test sample and thefluorescence of the tracer molecule; wherein binding to NLRX1 is indicated by a change in the BRET ratio relative to a control sample. Suitably, a control sample used in the BRET or nano-BRET assay described above is asample to which no test substance was added or to which vehicle, or an alternative knowninactive test substance was added. Suitably, cells expressing an NLRX1-luciferase construct are provided via transfection of cells with an NLRX1-luciferase construct comprising NLRX1 conjugated to luciferase, such as a nano-luciferase, at the C-terminus. Suitably, the tracer molecule of step (ii) comprises a substance known to bind to NLRX1 conjugated via click chemistry to NanoBRETTM 590-Azide-C3 (Promega). The NanoBRETTM 590-Azide-C3 reagent, uses thereof, and assays using said reagents, are further described, in addition to further suitable reagents, in US Patent No. 10,024,862, US Patent No. 10,067,149, and EP2932267, each of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.Suitably a BRET or nano-BRET assay according to the present invention, in particular whereinsaid assay utilises the NanoBRETTM 590-Azide-C3 (Promega) reagent, is performed in accordance with the assays described in one or more of US Patent No.10,024,862, US Patent No.10,067,149, and EP293226. Suitably, step (iv) of quantifying the light emission of the luciferase signal of the test sample and / or the fluorescence of the tracer molecule is performed using a CLARIOstar reader.Suitably, step (iv) of quantifying the light emission of the luciferase signal of test samplesand / or the fluorescence of the tracer molecule is performed via detection at a wavelength of about 470 nm and about 615 nm in order to calculate the BRET ratio (acceptor ca 615 nm emission / donor ca 470 nm emission). A particularly suitable example of a nano-BRET assay is described in detail in NLRX1 Binding Example 3 below. Similarly, the utility of such a nano-BRET assay in identifying compounds that can bind to NLRX1 is demonstrated in NLRX1 Binding Example 3 below. In one aspect, the method of the present invention comprises step (ii) of determining whether a substance inhibits the activity of the mPTP, wherein the determination of whether a substance inhibits the activity of the mPTP is performed by means comprising a mitochondrial calcium retention assay. In particular, pharmacological inhibition or modulation of the mPTP can be measured in such a mitochondrial calcium retention assay since, in vitro, isolated mitochondria rapidly sequesterexogenous calcium (Ca2+) until the intramitochondrial Ca2+ concentration reaches thethreshold for mPTP activation. Once the pore is activated, mitochondrial integrity iscompromised and the stored Ca2+ is released. The distribution of Ca2+ between extra- andintra-mitochondrial compartments can be measured in real time with the use of membrane- impermeant Ca2+sensitive fluorescent dyes. Depending on the configuration of the assay, inhibition or modulation of the mPTP either delays the opening of the pore or increases the concentration of Ca2+required to induce mPTP opening. In one aspect, the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a rat liver mitochondrial calcium retention assay. In an alternative aspect, the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a rat brain mitochondrial calcium retention assay. In a further aspect, the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is human platelet mitochondrial calcium retention assay. See, for example, the rat liver mitochondria and rat brain mitochondria assays disclosed in WO2023 / 166303 within Biological Example 1 of that document (which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety) and see General Methods below. When the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a rat liver mitochondrial calcium retention assay, mitochondria are suitably isolated from female rats, such as female Sprague Dawley rats, using the following method:Cervical dislocation is performed on the female rat, prior to perfusing the liver of said femalerat, in situ, with between 20 and 60 mL, such as between 30 and 50 mL, such as about 40 mL of a saline solution, and preferably Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS). The liver is subsequently dissected and transferred into between 10 and 50 mL, such as between 20and 40 mL, such as about 30 mL, of an isolation buffer, suitable examples of which are knownto the skilled person. A particularly suitable isolation buffer comprises 250 mM sucrose, 10 mM potassium chloride, 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraaceticacid (EGTA), 1 mM ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and 25 mM HEPES, whereinthe pH of said isolation buffer is adjusted to 7.5 using 1 M sodium hydroxide. The liver is thenremoved from the buffer and minced into pieces of between 1 and 10 mm, in particular about 5 mm, prior to transfer into a homogenization tube, such as a 50 mL Potterton douncehomogenization tube, comprising between 10 and 50 mL, such as about 30 mLhomogenization / centrifugation buffer, suitable examples of which are known to the skilledperson. A particularly suitable homogenization / centrifugation buffer comprises 300 mM trehalose, 25 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, and 10 mM potassium chloride, wherein the pH of said homogenization / centrifugation buffer is adjusted to 7.5 using 1 M sodium hydroxide, and wherein said homogenization / centrifugation buffer is supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and complete protease inhibitor cocktail (one tablet per 50 mL buffer). Homogenization is suitably carried out using a Teflon® pestle at between 1500 and2500 rpm, such as 1600 and 2000 rpm, such as at about 1800 rpm. Subsequently, thehomogenization product is centrifuged at between 500 and 1500 g, such as between 600 and 100 g, such as at about 800 g, for between 1 and 20 minutes, such as between 2 and 16 minutes, such as between 5 and 15 minutes, such as for about 10 minutes, at a temperatureof 1-10oC, such as 2-8oC, such as 2-5oC, such as at about 4oC. In turn, the resultingsupernatant was centrifuged at between 5000 and 20000 g, such as between 6000 and 16000 g, such as between 8000 and 12000 g, such as at about 10000 g, for between 1 and 20 minutes, such as between 2 and 16 minutes, such as between 5 and 15 minutes, such as forabout 10 minutes, at the same temperature as above. Finally, the resultant pellet was washedonce with an assay buffer, suitably FLIPR assay buffer comprising 75 mM mannitol, 25 mM sucrose, 5 mM potassium phosphate monobasic, 20 mM Tris, 100 mM potassium choride, and 0.1% BSA, adjusted to pH 7.4 using hydrochloric acid, before being centrifuged again and subsequently resuspended in said assay buffer, in particular FLIPR assay buffer, to a target protein concentration of between 5 and 15 mg / mL, such as 6 and 12 mg / mL, such as 7.5 to 10 mg / mL, and most preferably of about 8.8. mg / mL. When the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a rat brain mitochondrial calcium retention assay, mitochondria are suitably isolated from rats, such as female rates, such as female Sprague Dawley rats, using the following method: Anaesthetized rats, which may be performed via methods known in the art, are suitablyperfused, in situ, with between 20 and 60 mL, such as between 30 and 50 mL, such as about40 mL of a saline solution, and preferably Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS). The brain is subsequently dissected and transferred into between 10 and 50 mL, such as between 20 and 40 mL, such as about 30 mL, of an isolation buffer, suitable examples of which are known to the skilled person. A particularly suitable isolation buffer comprises 225 mM mannitol, 75 mM sucrose, and 1 mM ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether)-N,N,N′,N′-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), wherein the pH of said isolation buffer is adjusted to 7.4 using 1 Msodium hydroxide. The brain is then removed from the buffer and minced into pieces ofbetween 1 and 10 mm, in particular about 5 mm, prior to transfer into a homogenization tube, such as a 50 mL Potterton dounce homogenization tube, comprising between 5 and 25 mL, such as about 10 mL homogenization / centrifugation buffer, suitable examples of which ware known to the skilled person. A particularly suitable homogenization / centrifugation buffer comprises 300 mM trehalose, 25 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, and 10 mM potassium chloride, wherein the pH of said homogenization / centrifugation buffer is adjusted to 7.5 using 1 M sodium hydroxide, and wherein said homogenization / centrifugation buffer is supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and complete protease inhibitor cocktail(one tablet per 50 mL buffer). Homogenization is suitably carried out using a Teflon® pestleat between 1500 and 2500 rpm, such as 1600 and 2000 rpm, such as at about 1800 rpm.

When the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a human platelet mitochondrial calcium retention assay, it should be noted that the assay is instead performed using a mitochondrial membrane potential flow cytometry assay in stimulated human platelets, since stimulation of platelets results in the rapid influx of Ca2+across the platelet membrane. Subsequently, Ca2+is sequestered by mitochondria until the threshold for mPTP opening is reached, at which point the pore opens and the mitochondrial membrane potential is dissipated. Changes in mitochondria membrane potential due to mPTP opening can be quantified in live platelets using standard mitochondrial membrane potential dyes e.g. 3,3’-dihexyloxacarbocyanine Iodide; DiOC6(3), enabling pharmacological characterisation of mPTP inhibitors. When the mitochondrial calcium retention assay is a human platelet mitochondrial calcium retention assay, human platelets are suitably harvested and isolated using the following method: A volume of human blood, typically between 5-50 mL, such as 10-40 mL, such as 15-25 mL, such as about 20 mL, is collected from a consenting donor, and added to a solution of sodiumcitrate, in particular 3.2% sodium citrate.

Control wells may suitably contain 0.1% DMSO only, or 5 µM cyclosporin A. The wells were incubated for between 5 and 30 minutes, such as between 10 and 20 minutes, such as for about 15 minutes.

Characteristics of Substances for use according to the present invention As noted above, the present invention provides for substances which are (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii) capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, for use in the treatment of disease, disorder, or condition associated with altered NLRX1 activity, and methods for identifying said substances.As used herein, the term a substance which inhibits mPTP activity, a substance with mPTPinhibitory activity, or an mPTP inhibitor, or variations thereof, may be defined as any moleculeswhich are able to directly inhibit the activity of the mPTP via any direct interaction with the mPTP. These substances also include substances which directly inhibit the activity of cellularcomponents which function upstream or downstream of the mPTP, consequently inhibitingmPTP activity. Inhibitors of mPTP activity, include substances which directly or indirectly inhibitthe activity or function, or the expression of the mPTP or any upstream or downstreamcomponents. In particular, inhibitors, of the mPTP may directly or indirectly inhibit the activityor function of the mPTP. In one aspect of the invention, the substance which is (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii)capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP is a modulator of NLRX1, for example an activatoror an inhibitor of NLRX1 activity (such as NLRX1 signalling activity), in particular an inhibitorof NLRX1 activity.As used herein, the terms a substance which modulates, activates, or inhibits nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine rich repeat containing X1 protein (NLRX1) activity, asubstance with NLRX1 modulatory, activatory, or inhibitory activity, or an NLRX1 modulator,activator, or inhibitor, or variations thereof, may be defined as any molecules which are ableto directly modulate, activate, or inhibit the activity of NLRX1 through interaction with NLRX1.These molecules are to be differentiated from indirect modulators, activators, or inhibitors of NLRX1, that is molecules which directly modulates, activate, or inhibit the activity of cellularcomponents which function upstream or downstream of NLRX1, consequently modulating,activating, or inhibiting NLRX1 activity. Modulators, activators, or inhibitors of NLRX1 activity,include molecules which directly modulate, activate, or inhibit the activity or function, or theexpression of NLRX1. In particular, modulators, activators, or inhibitors, of NLRX1 directlymodulate, activate, or inhibit the activity or function of NLRX1. Modulators, activators, or inhibitors of NLRX1 activity will thus bind NLRX1, typically non-covalently.In one aspect of the invention, the substance which is (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii)capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, for example which is suitably identified by amethod according to the present invention, is a small molecule.As used herein, the term “small molecule” defines a molecule with a molecular weight of about 1500 g / mol or less, for example about 1200 g / mol or less, for example about 1000 g / mol orless, such as about 900 g / mol or less, such as about 800 g / mol or less, such as about 750g / mol or less.

The half maximal effective concentration EC50 is a measure of the concentration of a drug required to induce a particular biological or biochemical response. Specifically, EC50 is a quantitative measure that indicates how much of a substance is needed to obtain 50% of a given biological response, for example NLRX1 binding.In one aspect of the invention, a substance which is (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii)capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, binds to NLRX1 with an EC50 value of less than about 100 µM, for example less than about 75 µM, for example less than about 50 µM, for example less than about 25 µM, for example less than about 15 µM, or less than about 10 µM.For example, the substance suitably binds to NLRX1 with an EC50 value of 0.000001-100 µM,such as 0.000001-75 µM, such as 0.000001-50 µM, such as 0.00001-50 µM, 0.0001-50 µM, 0.001-50 µM, 0.01-50 µM, 0.1-50 µM or 1-50 µM.The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is a measure of the potency of a substancein inhibiting a biological or biochemical function. Specifically, IC50 is a quantitative measurethat indicates how much of a substance is needed to inhibit, in vitro, a given biological processor biological component, for example mPTP activity, by 50%. In competition binding assays,the IC50 value is the concentration of competing substance that is required to displace 50% of the specific binding of a probe molecule, such as a radioligand, which may be measured via, for example, liquid scintillation. The pIC50 value is the negative log of the IC50 value of an inhibitor, and this logarithmic measure may be used since it more accurately reflects the logarithmic nature of potency values / concentrations. For example, an IC50 value of 1 µM corresponds to a pIC50 of 6.In one aspect of the invention, a substance which is (i) capable of binding to NLRX1 and (ii)capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP, binds to NLRX1 with a pIC50 value of greater than about 4.0, for example greater than about 5.0, in particular greater than about 6.0, forexample greater than about 7.0.

Suitably a heteroaryl group contains 5-10 ringmembers. Where a heteroaryl group contains more than one ring, not all rings must containa heteroatom, and not all rings must be aromatic in character. In some examples heteroarylis monocyclic, such as a 5- or 6- membered heteroaryl ring (e.g. containing one or twoheteroatom selected from N, S and O). In other examples heteroaryl is bicyclic, such as a5,5-, 5,6- or 6,6- bicyclic system (e.g. containing one, two or three heteroatoms selectedfrom N, S and O). A heteroaryl may contain one heteroatom selected from N, S and O, forexample N and O, especially N. In other examples a heteroaryl may contain two heteroatoms selected from N, S and O. In further examples a heteroaryl may contain three heteroatoms selected from N, S and O, for example N and O. Examples of 6-membered heteroaryls include one nitrogen atom (pyridinyl), two nitrogen atoms (pyridazinyl, pyrimidinyl or pyrazinyl) and three nitrogen atoms (triazinyl). Further examples of heteroaryl include triazolyl, indolyl, indazolyl, benzofuranyl, benzimidazolyl, benzoxazolinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl and quinazolinyl.

In particular, said substance may be provided in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and / or solvate, such as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. It will be appreciated that for use in medicine the salts of the substances of the presentinvention, including substances of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), shouldbe pharmaceutically acceptable. Non-pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the said substances may be of use in other contexts such as during preparation of the substances of the invention. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts will be apparent to those skilled inthe art. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include those described by Berge et al. (1977).Such pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid and base addition salts. Pharmaceutically acceptable acid additional salts may be formed with inorganic acids e.g. hydrochloric, hydrobromic, sulphuric, nitric or phosphoric acid and organic acids e.g. succinic, maleic, acetic, fumaric, citric, tartaric, benzoic, p-toluenesulfonic, methanesulfonic or naphthalenesulfonic acid. Other salts e.g. oxalates or formates, may be used, forexample in the isolation of substances of the invention and are included within the scope ofthis invention. Certain substances of the invention, including substances of formula (I), (II),(III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), may form acid or base addition salts with one or moreequivalents of the acid or base. The present invention includes within its scope all possible stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric forms.The substances of the present invention, including substances of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV),(V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), may be prepared in crystalline or non-crystalline form and, ifcrystalline, may optionally be solvated, e.g. as the hydrate. This invention includes within itsscope stoichiometric solvates (e.g. hydrates) as well as substances containing variableamounts of solvent (e.g. water). The present disclosure includes all isotopic forms of the substances of the present invention,including substances of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), whether in a form(i) wherein all atoms of a given atomic number have a mass number (or mixture of mass numbers) which predominates in nature (referred to herein as the “natural isotopic form”) or (ii) wherein one or more atoms are replaced by atoms having the same atomic number, but a mass number different from the mass number of atoms which predominates in nature (referred to herein as an “unnatural variant isotopic form”). It is understood that an atom may naturally exist as a mixture of mass numbers. The term “unnatural variant isotopic form” also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an atom of given atomic number having a mass number found less commonly in nature (referred to herein as an “uncommon isotope”) has been increased relative to that which is naturally occurring e.g. to the level of >20%, >50%, >75%, >90%, >95% or >99% by number of the atoms of that atomic number (the latter embodiment referred to as an "isotopically enriched variant form"). The term “unnatural variant isotopic form” also includes embodiments in which the proportion of an uncommon isotope has been reduced relative tothat which is naturally occurring. Isotopic forms may include radioactive forms (i.e. theyincorporate radioisotopes) and non-radioactive forms. Radioactive forms will typically beisotopically enriched variant forms. An unnatural variant isotopic form of a compound maythus contain one or more artificial or uncommon isotopes such as deuterium (2H or D),carbon-11 (11C), carbon-13 (13C), carbon-14 (14C), nitrogen-13 (13N), nitrogen-15 (15N),oxygen-15 (15O), oxygen-17 (17O), oxygen-18 (18O), phosphorus-32 (32P), sulphur-35 (35S), chlorine-36 (36Cl), chlorine-37 (37Cl), fluorine-18 (18F) iodine-123 (123I), iodine-125 (125I) in one or more atoms or may contain an increased proportion of said isotopes as compared withthe proportion that predominates in nature in one or more atoms. Unnatural variant isotopicforms comprising radioisotopes may, for example, be used for drug and / or substrate tissue distribution studies. The radioactive isotopes tritium, i.e.3H, and carbon-14, i.e.14C, are particularly useful for this purpose in view of their ease of incorporation and ready means of detection. Unnatural variant isotopic forms which incorporate deuterium i.e.2H or D may afford certain therapeutic advantages resulting from greater metabolic stability, for example,increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements, and hence may be preferred insome circumstances. Further, unnatural variant isotopic forms may be prepared whichincorporate positron emitting isotopes, such as11C,18F,15O and13N, and would be useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy.In one embodiment, the substances of the present invention, including substances offormula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), are provided in a natural isotopic form.In one embodiment, the substances of the present invention, including substances offormula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), are provided in an unnatural variantisotopic form. In a specific embodiment, the unnatural variant isotopic form is a form in which deuterium (i.e.2H or D) is incorporated where hydrogen is specified in the chemicalstructure in one or more atoms of a substance of the invention. In one embodiment, theatoms of the substances of the invention are in an isotopic form which is not radioactive. Inone embodiment, one or more atoms of the substances of the invention are in an isotopicform which is radioactive. Suitably radioactive isotopes are stable isotopes. Suitably theunnatural variant isotopic form is a pharmaceutically acceptable form.In one embodiment, substances of the present invention, including substances of formula (I),(II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and (VIB), are provided whereby a single atom of the compoundexists in an unnatural variant isotopic form. In another embodiment, substances of thepresent invention, including substances of formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (V), (VA), (VI), and(VIB), two or more atoms exist in an unnatural variant isotopic form. Unnatural isotopic variant forms can generally be prepared by conventional techniques known to those skilled in the art or by processes described herein e.g. processes analogous to those described inthe accompanying Examples for preparing natural isotopic forms. Thus, unnatural isotopicvariant forms could be prepared by using appropriate isotopically variant (or labelled) reagents in place of the normal reagents employed in the Examples.Since the substances of the invention are intended for use in pharmaceutical compositions itwill readily be understood that they are each preferably provided in substantially pure form, for example at least 60% pure, more suitably at least 75% pure and preferably at least 85%,especially at least 98% pure (% are on a weight for weight basis). Impure preparations of thesubstances of the invention may be used for preparing the more pure forms used in thepharmaceutical compositions. The amount of active ingredient which is required to achieve a prophylactic or therapeutic effect will, of course, vary with the particular substance, the route of administration, the subject under treatment or prophylaxis, including the type, species, age, weight, sex, and medical condition of the subject and the renal and hepatic function of the subject; and the particular disease, disorder, or condition being treated or prevented, as well as its severity. An ordinarily skilled physician, veterinarian or clinician can readily determine and prescribe the effective amount of the drug required to prevent, counter or arrest the progress of the disease, disorder, or condition. The pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention include those suitable for oral, parenteral (including subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous [bolus or infusion], and intraarticular), intranasal (also known as nasal administration), inhalation (including fine particle dusts or mists which may be generated by means of various types of metered dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers or insufflators) insufflation, rectal, intraperitoneal, topical (including dermal, buccal, sublingual, and intraocular) and intrathecal administration, although the most suitable route may depend upon, for example, the disease,disorder, or condition of the subject. In particular, suitable pharmaceutical compositionsaccording to the present invention are those suitable for oral, intrathecal and parenteral administration; and more suitably are those suitable for oral or intrathecal administration. Suitably, pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily. Oral dosages of the present invention, when used for the indicated effects, will range between about 0.01 mg per kg of body weight per day (mg / kg / day) to about 100 mg / kg / day, suitably 0.01 mg per kg of body weight per day (mg / kg / day) to 10 mg / kg / day, and most suitably 0.1 to 5.0 mg / kg / day, for adult humans. For oral administration, the compositions are suitably provided in the form of tablets or other forms of presentation provided in discrete units, suchas capsules, cachets, pills, containing 0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, 50.0,100, and 500 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosageto the subject to be treated. Alternatively, the oral composition may be presented as a powderor granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous liquid or a non-aqueous liquid, for example as elixirs, tinctures, suspensions or syrups; or as an oil-in-water liquid emulsion or a water-in-oil liquid emulsion. The active ingredient may also be presented as a bolus, electuaryor paste. An oral composition typically contains from about 0.01 mg to about 500 mg of theactive ingredient, suitably from about 1 mg to about 100 mg of active ingredient.The oral dosages of the present invention may conveniently be presented in unit dosage formand may be prepared by any of the methods well known in the art of pharmacy. All methods include the step of bringing the active ingredient into association with one or morepharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In general, the compositions are prepared by uniformlyand intimately bringing into association the active ingredient with liquid carriers or finely divided solid carriers or both and then, if necessary, shaping the product into the desired nit. A tablet may be made by compression or moulding, optionally with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. Compressed tablets may be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient in a free-flowing form such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent, lubricating, surface active or dispersing agent. Moulded tablets may be made by moulding in a suitable machine a mixture of thepowdered substance moistened with an inert liquid diluent. The tablets may optionally be coated or scored and may be formulated so as to provide slow or controlled release of the active ingredient therein. The pharmaceutical compositions therefore may be administered in a form suitable for immediate release or extended release. Immediate release or extended release can be achieved by the use of suitable pharmaceutical compositions comprising a substance of the present invention, or, particularly in the case of extended release, by the use of devices such as subcutaneous implants or osmotic pumps. The pharmaceuticalcompositions of the invention may also be administered liposomally.Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration include suspensions which can contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose for imparting bulk, alginic acid or sodium alginate as a suspending agent, methylcellulose as a viscosity enhancer, and sweeteners or flavoring agents such as those known in the art; and immediate release tablets which can contain, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, starch, magnesiumstearate, calcium sulfate, sorbitol, glucose and / or lactose and / or other excipients, binders,extenders, disintegrants, diluents and lubricants such as those known in the art. Suitable binders include starch, gelatin, natural sugars such as glucose or beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, tragacanth or sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes and the like. Disintegrators include without limitation starch, methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, xanthan gum and the like.Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be administered via the oral cavityby sublingual and / or buccal administration. Pharmaceutical compositions for topical administration in the mouth, for example buccally or sublingually, include lozenges comprising the active ingredient in a flavoured basis such as sucrose and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles comprising the active ingredient in a basis such as gelatin and glycerine or sucrose and acacia. Exemplary compositions for topical administration include atopical carrier such as Plastibase (mineral oil gelled with polyethylene). Molded tablets,compressed tablets or freeze-dried tablets are exemplary forms which may be used.Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions include those formulating a substance of thepresent invention with fast dissolving diluents such as mannitol, lactose, sucrose and / or cyclodextrins. Also included in such compositions may be high molecular weight excipientssuch as celluloses (avicel) or polyethylene glycols (PEG). Such compositions can alsoinclude an excipient to aid mucosal adhesion such as hydroxy propyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC), sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (SCMC), maleic anhydride copolymer (e.g., Gantrez), and agents to control release such as polyacrylic copolymer (e.g. Carbopol 934). Lubricants, glidants, flavors, coloring agents and stabilizers may also be added for ease of fabrication and use. Lubricants used in these dosage forms include sodium oleate, sodium stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride and the like. For oral administration in liquid form, the oral drug components can be combined with any oral, non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable inert carrier such as ethanol, glycerol, water, and the like. Intrathecal administration involves injection of the pharmaceutical composition of the invention into the spinal canal, or into the subarachnoid space so that it reaches the cerebrospinal fluid. This is advantageous for the administration of substances which may not be able to pass the blood brain barrier via other routes of administration, such as oraladministration. Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administeredintrathecally by continuous infusion such as with a catheter, or a pump, or intrathecally by a single bolus injection or by intermittent bolus injection. Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention which are administered intrathecally and continuously, are suitably administered via implantable delivery devices, such as an implantable pump. Examples of such delivery devices include devices which can be implanted subcutaneously in the body or in the cranium, and provides an access port through which the pharmaceutical compositions maybe delivered to the nerves or brain. To be administered intrathecally, the pharmaceuticalcomposition may also be administered intermittently. The intermittent administration may be, for example, every thirty minutes, every hour, every several hours, every 24 hours, every couple of days (for example every 48 or 72 hours) or any combination thereof. Intrathecal dosages of the present invention, when used for the indicated effects, will typically be less than 1 mg, such as less than 500 µg, for example less than 250 µg per kg of body weight when administered in a single dose or intermittently for adult humans. When administered continuously, the intrathecal dosages of the present invention will typically be less than 250 µg per kg body weight per hour, such as less than 125 µg per kg body weight per hour for adult humans.Pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include aqueous and non-aqueoussterile injection solutions which may contain antioxidants, buffers, bacteriostats and soluteswhich render the composition isotonic with the blood of the intended recipient; and aqueousand non-aqueous sterile suspensions which may include suspending agents and thickeningagents. The pharmaceutical compositions may be presented in unit-dose or multi-dosecontainers, for example sealed ampoules and vials, and may be stored in a freeze-dried (lyophilised) condition requiring only the addition of the sterile liquid carrier, for example saline or water-for-injection, immediately prior to use. Extemporaneous injection solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders, granules and tablets of the kind previously described. Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration include injectable solutions or suspensions which can contain, for example, suitable non-toxic, parenterally acceptable diluents or solvents, such as mannitol, 1,3-butanediol, water, Ringer’s solution, an isotonic sodium chloride solution, or other suitable dispersing or wetting andsuspending agents, including synthetic mono- or diglycerides, and fatty acids, including oleicacid, or Cremaphor. Intravenously, the most suitable doses will range from about 0.1 to about10 mg / kg / minute during a constant rate infusion.In an alternative suitable aspect, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention isadministered by intranasal, inhalation (including fine particle dusts or mists which may be generated by means of various types of metered dose pressurized aerosols, nebulizers or insufflators) or insufflation administration. Such a method of administration allows for lowdoses of the pharmaceutical composition of the invention to be administered, which can leadto a reduction in side-effects. Exemplary pharmaceutical compositions for intranasal, aerosolor inhalation administration include solutions in saline, which can contain, for example,benzyl alcohol or other suitable preservatives, absorption promoters to enhance bioavailability, and / or other solubilizing or dispersing agents such as those known in the art.For example, a daily dose of 10 to 0.01µg, suitably 1 to 0.01µg, and more suitably in theregion of as low as 0.1µg (100ng) of active ingredient may be used. Suitably pharmaceuticalcompositions of the invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use ofsuitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using those forms of transdermal skin patches well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. To be administered in the form of a transdermal delivery system, the dosage administration will, of course, be continuous rather than intermittent throughout the dosage regimen. Pharmaceutical compositions for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with the usual carriers such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters or polyethylene glycol. Such carriers are typically solid at ordinary temperatures but liquefy and / or dissolve in the rectal cavity to release the drug. Examples General Methods The substances used in the Examples below, including the Background Probes and Test Substances, are disclosed in, or may suitably be prepared according to the methods disclosed in WO2022 / 049376, and / or WO2022 / 049377, and / or WO2023 / 166303, and / or WO2024 / 153945, and / or WO2024 / 153946, and / or WO2025 / 052129.Assay for inhibition of mPTP activity - Rat liver mitochondria assayPharmacological inhibition or modulation of the mPTP can be measured in well characterised ‘Ca2+retention’ assays performed in isolated mitochondria. In vitro, isolated mitochondria rapidly sequester exogenous Ca2+until the intramitochondrial Ca2+concentration reaches the threshold for mPTP activation. Once the pore is activated, mitochondrial integrity iscompromised and the stored Ca2+ is released. The distribution of Ca2+ between extra- andintra-mitochondrial compartments can be measured in real time with the use of membrane-impermeant Ca2+sensitive fluorescent dyes. Depending on the configuration of the assay, inhibition or modulation of the mPTP either delays the opening of the pore or increases the concentration of Ca2+required to induce mPTP opening. mPTP activity is measured in mitochondria freshly isolated from female Sprague Dawley (250 to 300 gram) rat livers using the folllowing method. Cervical dislocation is performed on therat. The liver is then perfused in-situ with ~40 ml cold Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline(DPBS) prior to dissection and transfered into 30 ml Isolation Buffer (250mM Sucrose, 10mMKCl, 1mM EGTA, 1mM EDTA, 25mM HEPES, adjusted to pH 7.5 with 1M NaOH). Each lobe of the liver is then removed from the buffer, minced using tweezers and a scalpel into ~5mm pieces then transferred into a 50 ml Potterton dounce homogenization tube on ice containing 30 ml ice-cold centrifugation buffer (300mM Trehalose, 25mM HEPES, 1mM EGTA, 1mM EDTA, 10mM KCl, adjusted to pH 7.5 with 1M NaOH and supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and complete protease inhibitor cocktail (one tablet of inhibitor per 50mls of buffer). Homogenisation is carried out using a teflon pestle at 1800 rpm. The slurry is centrifuged at 800 g for 10 min at 4oC, then the supernatant centrifuged at 10,000 g for 10 min. The pellet is washed once with FLIPR assay buffer (75mM Mannitol, 25mM Sucrose, 5mM Potassium Phosphate Monobasic, 20mM Tris base, 100mM KCl, 0.1 % BSA adjusted to pH 7.4 with 5M HCl) centrifuged again, then resuspended in FLIPR assay buffer to aconcentration of 8.8 mg / ml protein. Tested compounds (10 mM stock in DMSO) are seriallydiluted in DMSO in half log steps to generate 10 test concentrations (final concentrations in assay 30 µM to 1 nM). An intermediate dilution of 5 µl DMSO samples into 247 µl FLIPR assay buffer is carried out prior to transfer of 5 µl into duplicate wells of a 384 well polypropyleneassay plate. Control wells are 0.5 % (v / v) DMSO and 5 µM cyclosporin A.A stock mitochondria / Fluo5N assay solution is prepared in 5.6 ml FLIPR assay buffer (at RT) supplemented with succinate disodium salt (10mM), rotenone (1µM), Fluo5N pentapotassium salt (2 µM) and 1 ml mitochondria suspension, then transferred (15 µl) into the assay plate containing test compounds and incubated for 10 min at RT. Assay plates are processed for fluorescence detection on either a FLIPR Tetra (Molecular Devices) or CLARIOstar (BMG) plate reader. For kinetic fluorescence detection on the FLIPR, dye fluorescence is measured every 3 sec for a total of 10 min. After 12 sec, a 2.5 µl bolus of CaCl2(75 µM) is added from a source plate containing 675 µM CaCl2in FLIPR assay buffer. Alternatively, the 2.5 µl addition of CaCl2is performed using a Viaflow 384, plates areincubated at RT for 10 min, and dyefluorescence measured after 10 min on the CLARIOstar plate reader. pIC50 values for testedcompounds are calculated using the fluorescence value collected at the 10 min timepoint oneither plate reader, with % inhibition calculated using the DMSO control and cyclosporin A values as 0 and 100 % respectively.Assay for inhibition of mPTP activity - Rat brain mitochondria assaymPTP activity is measured in brain mitochondria freshly isolated from female Sprague Dawley (250 to 300 gram) rats. Anaesthetised rats were perfused in-situ with ~40 ml cold Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline (DPBS), then brains dissected and transferred into 30 ml Isolation Buffer (225mM mannitol, 75 mM sucrose, 1mM EGTA, adjusted to pH 7.4 with 1M NaOH).The brain is minced using tweezers and a scalpel into ~5mm pieces then transferred into a 50ml Potterton Dounce homogenization tube on ice containing 10 ml ice-cold isolation buffer (as above with addition of Complete Protease inhibitor; 1 tablet per 50 ml buffer). Homogenisationis carried out using a teflon pestle at 1800 rpm. The slurry is centrifuged at 2000 g for 10 minat 4oC, then the supernatant centrifuged at 12,000 g for 9 min. The pellet is resuspended with a dounce homogeniser in isolation buffer as above but with the addition of 0.02 % digitonin, centrifuged at 12,000g for 11 min and finally resuspended in 5 ml modified isolation buffer (asabove but with EGTA reduced to 0.1 mM).Test compounds are prepared in 384 well polypropylene assay plates as described above forthe liver mitochondria assay. A stock mitochondria / Fluo5N assay solution is prepared in 5.6 ml assay buffer (120 mM mannitol, 40 mM MOPS, 5 mM KH2PO4, 60 mM KCl, 10 mM pyruvate, 2 mM malate, 2 mM MgCl2, 20 µM ADP, 1.26 µM oligomycin A, adjusted to pH 7.4) supplemented with Fluo5N pentapotassium salt (2 µM) and 1 ml mitochondria suspension, then transferred (15 µl) into the assay plate containing test compounds and incubated for 10min at RT. Assay plates are then transferred to a FLIPR Tetra plate reader (MolecularDevices). Dye fluorescence is then measured every 3 sec for a total of 10 min. After 12 sec,a 2.5 µl bolus of Ca2+ (75 µM) is added from a source plate containing 675 µM CaCl2 in FLIPRassay buffer. pIC50 values for test compounds are calculated using the fluorescence value collected at the 10 min timepoint with % inhibition calculated using the DMSO control and cyclosporin A values at 100 % and 0 % respectively. Background Examples Background Example 1: Identification of NLRX1 as a binding partner of inhibitors of the mPTP Potential binding partners of known inhibitors of the mPTP were identified by a process of affinity-based chemoproteomics, using Background Probe 1 below: which is known to be a potent inhibitor of the mPTP. Moreover, Background Probe 1 is suitable for immobilization on azide-activated affinity resin. Conjugation of Background Probe 1 to azide-agarose beads were carried out by click chemistry using two different coupling densities, specifically 0.6 mM and 1.2 mM, to yield low- density (LD) and high-density (HD) beads respectively.Affinity-based purification of target proteins to be screened was performed in clarifieddetergent cell lysates, specifically containing 1 mg / mL protein in 0.5% Triton X-100 extract, prepared from HEK293 cells. In a first experiment, control beads (i.e. empty azide-agarose beads), LD beads, and HD beads, were incubated in duplicate with the clarified detergent cell lysates referred to above, and in the presence of DMSO control, or Background Probe 2 below: at a concentration of 1 µM or 30 µM, each in 0.3% DMSO, at 4oC. Background Probe 2 is another known inhibitor of the mPTP, and in particular is known to be a far more potent inhibitor of the mPTP than Background Probe 1 above. Therefore, incubation with Background Probe 2 is expected to displace proteins bound to Background Probe 1 on LD and HD beads. After incubation, beads were collected via centrifugation and washed according to standard protocol. Co-purified proteins were subsequently digested on the bead using trypsin, and the resultant peptides were identified by liquid chromatography / mass spectrometry (LC / MS).In total 5062 proteins were identified across all samples. The following criteria were applied tofilter this protein set and identify only those proteins which demonstrated specific binding toBackground Probe 1:(i) The protein / peptide should be identified in both replicate samples (i.e. BackgroundProbe 1 beads in the presence of DMSO);(ii) The protein / peptide should be enriched by more than 5-fold in Background Probe 1bead samples relative to control (empty) bead samples;(iii) The protein should be displaced by Background Probe 2 by greater than 30%;(iv) Displacement by 30 µM Background Probe 2 should be greater than displacement by1 µM Background Probe 2;(v) The criteria of points (ii), (iii), and (iv) above should apply to both replicate samples;and(vi) The protein / peptide should be identified in both LD and HD bead samples.The results of the application of the above criteria are shown in Figure 1. In particular, proteinsidentified in accordance with the criteria above are plotted according to the % displacement value, which is itself the mean of duplicate values, of each of the LD and HD beads by Background Probe 2. The results show that only two proteins, PTDSS1 and NLRX1, are common, strong, hits between LD and HD beads. Of these two proteins, only NLRX1 is a mitochondrial protein. Furthermore, NLRX1 was the protein maximally displaced by Background Probe 2, relative to all other proteins identified as potential binding partners ofknown inhibitors of the mPTP. These findings implicate NLRX1 as a binding partner of knowninhibitors of the mPTP. In a second experiment, a repeat chemoproteomic screen was performed, with the addition of a further negative control. Specifically, conjugation of Background Probe 1 to azide-agarosebeads was carried out by click chemistry using a coupling density of 1 mM. Incubation ofBackground Probe 1 beads, or control (i.e. empty azide-agarose) beads, was performed in triplicate in the presence of either DMSO control, Background Probe 2 (at a concentration of 1 µM or 30 µM, in the presence of 0.3% DMSO), or the inactive control molecule, Background Control Probe 1: at a concentration of 1 µM or 30 µM, in the presence of 0.3% DMSO. Background ControlProbe 1, the enantiomer of Background Probe 2, is inactive as an inhibitor of the mPTP.Therefore, incubation with Background Control Probe 1 would not be expected to displaceproteins bound specifically to Background Probe 1 on LD and HD beads. Subsequently, thesame criteria as outlined above was used to filter the set of proteins identified by LC / MS, withthe two additional criteria below: (i) The protein / peptide should be identified in at least two of the three replicates (i.e. Background Probe 1 beads in the presence of DMSO); and(ii) Displacement by 30 µM Background Control Probe 1 should be less than 40%.Application of this amended criteria to the proteins identified by LC / MS following the second experiment resulted in only NLRX1 being identified. Whilst PTDSS1 was also enriched in thesecond experiment, it’s binding to Background Probe 1 beads was equally displaced by thepotent mPTP inhibitor Background Probe 2 and the inactive control, Background Control Prove 1, and therefore its binding was considered to be non-specific. A summary of the results of Background Example 1 are shown in Figure 2. In particular, proteins identified in the first experiment that were both (a) enriched by more than 5-fold in Background Probe 1 bead samples relative to control (empty) bead samples, and (b) displaced by greater than 0% by Background Probe 2, were plotted according to their % displacement by Background Probe 2 in both the first experiment (Exp1) and the second experiment (Exp2).The results show that only NLRX1 is enriched by more than 5-fold in Background Probe 1bead samples relative to control (empty) bead samples and displaced by greater than 60% inboth the first and second experiments. In fact, NLRX1 had a mean displacement of 93% across all samples. These results provide strong evidence to suggest that NLRX1 is a binding partner of known inhibitors of the mPTP. Background Example 2: Evaluation of the role of NLRX1 in interaction with, and modulation of, the mPTP The activity of the mPTP in both wild-type and NLRX1 knock-out (KO) cells was evaluatedusing methods known in the art and described in published protocols (see Kuznetsov et al.2008). In particular, wild-type and NLRX1 KO HeLa cells were purchased from a commercial provider (Abcam). Subsequently, both cell types were resuspended in digitonin lysis buffer (130 mM potassium chloride, 10 mM MOPS-Tris, 1mM Trizma-Pi, 1 mM EGTA, 100 µM digitonin) and incubated on ice for 5 minutes to ensure permeabilization of the plasma membrane). Following two centrifugation and wash steps (i.e. to remove the digitonin buffer) the cells were added to wells of a 96-well plate at a density of 1 x 106cells per well, in 200 µL assay buffer (130 mM potassium chloride, 10 mM MOPS-Tris, 1mM Trizma-Pi, 10 µM EGTA-Tris, 5 mM glutamate, 2.5 mM malate, 0.5 µM Calcium Green 5N, pH 7.4), with wells containing either test substanceor 0.1% DMSO control. The 96-well plate was then immediately transferred to a FLIPR® TetraPlate Reader for kinetic fluorescence detection. Calcium chloride, 5 µL of a 200 µM stock solution, was added to the plate every 5 minutes and fluorescence readings were collected every 3 seconds. To certain wells, known inhibitors of the mPTP, namely either cyclosporin A or Background Inhibitor 1 below: were added at a final concentration of 10 µM. The mean background-corrected fluorescencevalues for each condition were plotted against time. The results are shown in Figure 3.In wild-type cells, mitochondria displayed the expected response to sequential calcium chloride additions. Specifically, following the first four additions of calcium chloride, the mitochondria sequestered the Ca2+via active uptake resulting in the return of the Calcium Green 5N fluorescence to baseline. Following the fifth and sixth additions of calcium chloride, the fluorescence no longer returned to baseline but instead increased, indicative of mitochondrial permeability transition concomitant with loss of Ca2+retention. Both cyclosporin A and Background Inhibitor 1 prevented any pore transition throughout the time course of the assay. In NLRX1 KO cells, no obvious pore transition could be observed during the time course of the assay, in response to calcium chloride additions, indicating that mitochondria are dependent on NLRX1 for the formation of the calcium-dependent mPTP. Moreover, neither cyclosporin A nor Background Inhibitor 1 have any impact on the fluorescence profile. This is consistent with the mPTP already being fully inhibited by genetic deletion of NLRX1, on which the calcium-dependent mPTP appears to be dependent. In summary, these results suggest NLRX1 forms, or is a component of, the mPTP. NLRX1 Binding Examples In view of the Background Examples above, the present inventors have discovered thatinhibition of mPTP activity is mediated via binding to NLRX1. NLRX1 is therefore a novel targetagainst which substances may be screened for binding ability. The present inventors havetherefore developed novel methods and assays which are suitable for identifying substances which are capable of binding to NLRX1. NLRX1 Binding Example 1: Screening new substances for NLRX1 binding using a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) New substances may be screened for binding to NLRX1 using a cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), the protocol for which has been developed and optimised by the present inventors. Specifically, HEK293T cells were suspended in Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS; Gibco) at a concentration of 40 million cells / mL, prior to mixing in equal parts with test substances (suspended in HBSS supplemented with 0.4% DMSO) to yield a final cell density of 20 millioncells / mL in 0.2 % DMSO.Samples were then incubated for 60 minutes, at 37 °C, in tubes subjected to end-over-end rotation. Following incubation, samples are divided into 50 µL aliquots in PCR tubes beforebeing subjected to a 12-step heat challenge, between 53oC and 70°C, for 3 minutes on athermal cycler. This heating step was followed by cell lysis via three cycles of freeze-thaw,following the first cycle of which radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer (RIPA buffer; Merck)was added to achieve a final concentration of RIPA buffer of 1 x and tubes incubated for 15min at 4 °C.Following cell lysis, the resultant precipitated proteins and cell debris were pelleted viacentrifugation at 20000 g for 20 minutes. After centrifugation, the supernatant of each sample,which contains the soluble protein fraction, was mixed with gel loading buffer (NuPAGETMLDSsample buffer and NuPAGETM sample reducing agent; ThermoFisher Scientific) to achieve afinal concentration of 1 x gel loading buffer, and the loaded sample was heated at 70oC for 10 minutes. The quantity of NLRX1 protein in each sample, of 10 µL volume, was quantified via WesternBlotting using an anti-NLRX1 mouse monoclonal antibody (#TA809764; OriGene).Subsequent chemiluminescent Western Blotting detection was achieved using a horseradishperoxidase (HRP) conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody (W4021; Promega), at a dilutionof 1:20000, by incubation with the anti-NLRX1 antibody treated Westen Blot sample for 1 hourat room temperature, and subsequent incubation with Clarity Western ECL substrates (Bio- Rad), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To quantify or determine the ability of substances to bind to NLRX1, Western Blot intensitieswere obtained by measuring the chemiluminescence counts per square mm (I = count / mm2).The obtained intensities at each temperature (Ix) were then plotted as the luminescence count, normalised to the value obtained at 53°C. The results of testing a known potent inhibitor of the mPTP, herein referred to as TestSubstance 1, via the above-described CETSA are shown in Figure 4. In particular, Figure 4shows that NLRX1 in control (DMSO) conditions demonstrated typical melting in the CETSA, i.e. a Tm of 61.0oC (i.e. midpoint value of melting temperature, mean of n = 5 replicates). In the presence of Test Substance 1, the Tm value shifted by 1.9oC to 62.9oC (mean of n = 5 replicates), which is consistent with direct binding of Test Substance 1 to NLRX1 and consequently stabilisation of NLRX1.Moreover, the results of testing a series of Test Substances in the above-described CETSAare shown in Figure 5. The structures of Test Substances 1 to 5 are shown in Table 1 below: Table 1: Test Substance No. StructureTest Substance 1Test Substance 2Test Substance 3Test Substance 4Test Substance 5Test Substance 1 is the same as Background Probe 2 referred to above. Substance 2 is thesame as Background Control Probe 1 referred to above. Test Substance 3 is the same asBackground Probe 1 referred to above.The results of Figure 5 show that the above-described CETSA protocol is a suitable methodfor the identification of substances which bind to NLRX1. In particular, Test Substances 1, 3, and 4, were demonstrated to bind to NLRX1 with different affinities. Test Substances 2 and 5 failed to demonstrate significant specific NLRX1 binding. EC50 values (of NLRX1 binding)were calculated for each of Test Substances 1, 3, and 4 and are provided in Table 2 below:Table 2: Test Substance No. Calculated EC50 Value (µM)*Test Substance 1 6Test Substance 3 34Test Substance 4 2*mean of 3 or more replicate experiments NLRX1 Binding Example 2: Screening new substances for NLRX1 binding using a filtration binding assay New substances may be screened for binding to NLRX1 using a filtration binding assay, the protocol for which has been developed and optimised by the present inventors. Specifically, NLRX1-expressing membranes were prepared from a HeLa cell line stably transfected with the full-length human NLRX1 gene. In particular, cultured cells were detached and suspended with Buffer A (50 mM Tris HCl pH 7.4, 5 mM EDTA / Tris pH 7.4,20 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 μg / ml trypsin inhibitor, 1 μg / ml of leupeptin, and 75μg / ml PMSF) at 4°C and at a density of 500 x 106 cells per 10 mL. Cells were then lysedusing an ultrasound probe for 1 minute. The homogenate obtained was adjusted to 40 mLBuffer A and centrifugated at 50000 g. The pellet was removed using a 23G gauge needlethen resuspended by agitation with a 25G gauge needle in Buffer B (Buffer A with 10%glycerol). Protein quantification was determined according to the Bradford method andaliquots were stored at -80°C. Subsequently, NLRX1-expressing membranes are suspended in incubation buffer (50 mMTris / HCl, 5 mM EDTA / Tris (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl and 2 mM MgCl2) to achieve aprotein concentration of 150 µg / mL, in a 200 µL sample volumeProbe Substances alone, or in combination with Test Substances, were then added to thesamples and the sample incubated for 15 minutes (Probe Substance 1) or 180 minutes (ProbeSubstance 2) at 4oC. The structure of Probe Substances 1 and 2 are shown in Table 3 below:Table 3: Probe Substance No. StructureProbe Substance 1Probe Substance 2Next, the samples were added to AcroPrepTM GF / B filter plates, which have previously beenwetted with filter buffer (50 mM Tris / HCl (pH 7.4), and 0.001% N-dodecyl-^-maltoside), for 60minutes at room temperature. Excess filter buffer was then removed via centrifugation for 1minute at 1000 rpm. Samples were then filtered via centrifugation for 1 minute at 1000 rpm,and subsequently washed twice with filter buffer. Filters were dried for 45 minutes at a temperature of 50oC, and 150 µL elution buffer was added to each filter plate, filtered via centrifugation for 1 minute at 1000 rpm, and collected in a Waters 186002643 plate. The detection and quantification of the eluted Probe Substance in 20 µL sample was thenperformed using ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC; C18 column;Poroshell 120 E-C18, on a 1290 Infinity Binary LC system, Agilent) coupled to triplequadrupole mass spectrometer (Triple Quad 5500 mass spectrometer with an ESI Turbo Vion source, SCIEX). In particular, chromatographic separation was optimised to define thegradient parameters necessary to elute Probe Substances 1 and 2 with optimal peak shapeand resolution. In addition, a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) method was optimised usingelectrospray ionization in positive mode with the maximum selectivity and sensitivity found. The limit of detection (LoD) and limit of qualification (LoQ) values were 0.15 nM and 0.6 nMrespectively for Probe Substance 1 and 1.5 nM and 3 nM respectively for Probe Substance 2. Non-specific binding was defined and accounted for in subsequent experiments via addition of 10 µM of either Substance A, used for Probe Substance 1, or Substance B, used for ProbeSubstance 2, the structures of which are shown in Table 4 below:Table 4: Substance ID StructureSubstance ASubstance BPrior to screening a series of Test Substances using the filtration binding assay protocol described above, binding of Probe Substances 1 and 2 to NLRX1-expressing membranes was confirmed and similarly compared to binding of said Probe Substances to membranes derivedfrom cells which have not been transfected with NLRX1. For this experiment, Probe Substance1 was added to samples at a concentration of 1 nM and Probe Substance 2 was added tosamples at a concentration of 5 nM. The results are shown in Figures 6 and 7. In particular,the results confirm that Probe Substances 1 and 2 specifically bind to NLRX1-expressing membranes, but that said Probe Substances fail to bind to membranes derived from cellswhich have not been transfected with NLRX1. Subsequently, the same filtration binding assayprotocol was used to determine the Kdvalues associated with binding of Probe Substances 1 and 2 to NLRX1-expressing membranes, which were 7.1 nM and 1.1 nM respectively. Next, competition binding assays were performed using the above-described filtration binding assay protocol, to determine binding of Test Substances to NLRX1-expressing membranes. For the purposes of these experiments, Probe Substance 1 was added to samples at a concentration of 10 nM and Probe Substance 2 was added to samples at a concentration of 2 nM. Test Substances were added to samples at concentrations ranging between 10 µM and1 nM. Specific binding of Test Substances to NLRX1-expressing membranes was assessed via calculation of Kivalues. A summary of the Test Substances screened using the filtrationbinding assay protocol of the invention, and the Ki values derived from their screening (andthe Probe Substance said Test Substance was used to elute), are summarised in Table 5 below: Table 5: Test Substance No. Test Substance Structure Ki (nM)95.0 (Probe Test Substance 6 Substance 1) 13.0 (Probe Test Substance 7 Substance 2) 69.0 (Probe Test Substance 8 Substance 1) 2.8 (Probe Test Substance 9 Substance 1) 8.7 (Probe Test Substance 10 Substance 2) 23.0 (Probe Test Substance 11 Substance 1) 19.0 (Probe Test Substance 12 Substance 1) 5.4 (Probe Test Substance 13 Substance 2)These results show that the above-described filtration binding assay protocol is a suitablemethod for the identification of substances which bind to NLRX1, and in particular is capable of identifying substances which bind to NLRX1 with high affinity. NLRX1 Binding Example 3: Screening new substances for NLRX1 binding using a nano- BRET assay New substances may be screened for binding to NLRX1 using a nano-BRET assay, the protocol for which has been developed and optimised by the present inventors.Specifically, a vector comprising full length human NLRX1 (Uniprot ID Q86UT6) fused to aNanoLuc® tag (Promega) at the C-terminus in a pFC32 NanoLuc® Protein Fusion Flexi®Vector (Promega) was produced by DNA synthesis and molecular cloning. Next, HEK293Tcells (ECAAC; 2 x 105cells / mL) were transfected with the NLRX1-NanoLuc® vector (1 µg / mL) in the presence of 9 µg / mL carrier DNA (Promega), 10 µL FuGENE HD transfection reagent (Promega), and 1.5 mL OptiMEM (Invitrogen). Control samples were prepared similarly butwith replacement of the NLRX1- NanoLuc® vector with an equivalent volume of OptiMEM.Cell samples were incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature prior to mixing with lipid mixtures and subsequent incubation for 24 hours at 37oC, 5% CO2, in a humidified incubator. Following incubation, cells were harvested via trypsinization and seeded at about 20,000 cells / well into a 96-well plate (Corning).Test Substances were then added using the Multidrop Pico 8 dispenser device (ThermoFisherScientific), at a top concentration of 10 µM, and as a ten-point, 1:3, serial dilution in duplicate wells. A tracer molecule was then added at a final concentration of 1 µM to all wells of the 96- well plate. Samples were then incubated for 2 hours at 37oC, 5% CO2, in a humidified incubator. The tracer molecule was produced via click chemistry to conjugate the NanoBRETTM590- Azide-C3 (Promega) to the alkyne moiety of the below compound: Following incubation, 50 µL of a development solution of Nano-Glo® substrate (Promega)diluted 1 in 166 and supplemented with a 1 in 500 dilution of extracellular inhibitor in OptiMEM,was added to each well of the 96-well plate. The plate contents were then mixed by shaking and incubation for 10 minutes at room temperature. Assay signals (luciferase signal) were obtained using a CLARIOstar reader (top optic: Em:470 / 480; Em F: 615-18). The BRET ratio (acceptor 618 nm emission / donor 470 nm emission)for each concentration was obtained, multiplied by 1000 and then plotted. The results for thisanalysis for two Test Substances, 2 and 6, are shown in Figures 8 and 9. In particular, in thepresence of an increasing concentration of Test Substance 14, the BRET ratio decreased approximately two-fold, indicative of specific NLRX1 binding, whilst no such decrease wasseen in the presence of Test Substance 2. The structure of Test Substances 2 and 6 areillustrated in Table 6 below:Table 6: Test Substance No. Structure pIC50*Test Substance 2 < 5Test Substance 14 6.9**mean of 4 replicate experimentsThese results show that the above-described nano-BRET assay protocol is a suitable methodfor the identification of substances which bind to NLRX1, and in particular is capable ofidentifying substances which bind to NLRX1 with high affinity. In particular, Test Substance14 is demonstrated to bind NLRX1 with high affinity, whilst Test Substance 2 demonstratesno significant, specific, binding to NLRX1. NLRX1 Binding Example 4: Screening new substances for NLRX1 binding using a filtration binding assay New substances may be screened for binding to NLRX1 using a filtration binding assay, the protocol for which has been developed and optimised by the present inventors.Firstly, a radiolabelled Test Substance was produced via synthesis of tritium, [3H], labelledTest Substance 15, the structure of which is illustrated below: ,which radiolabelled Test Substance has a radioactive concentration of 1 mCi / mL and a specificactivity of 28 Ci / mmol.In order to evaluate the specificity of binding of radiolabelled Test Substance 15 to NLRX1,binding of said Test Substance to brain slices from wild-type and NLRX1-knockout mice wasevaluated by ex vivo autoradiography.Specifically, brains from an adult wild-type or NLRX1-knockout mice were dissected and freshfrozen at between -25 and -30 oC, using 2-methyl-butane to regulate the freezing process,prior to storage at -80 oC before use. For use, brains were sectioned coronally, from anteriorto posterior (to include the cortical region as well as both dorsal and ventral hippocampus), ona cryostat to provide brain slices of about 20 µm thickness, which slices are then placed onto 1 % gelatin-coated slides using the ‘freeze thaw’ method. Excess water was removed from thesections by incubating with CaSO4 for 1 hour at 4 oC before storing those sections at -80 oCuntil use. In use, the coronal brain sections were incubated with 3.3 nM radiolabelled Test Substance 15 for 120 minutes at 4oC, in the presence of an intracellular buffer comprising 50 mM Tris,10 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM MgCl2, 140 mM KCl, and having pH 7.0.The specific binding component was determined by incubating adjacent coronal brain sectionswith the radiolabelled Test Substance 15 (as above) in the presence of a saturatingconcentration (10 µM) of unlabelled Test Substance 15, which yields a measure of non-specificbinding. Triplicate 5 µL aliquots of each stock were counted on a beta counter to confirm theconcentration of each radioligand dilution. Following incubation, the coronal brain sectionswere washed twice (each time for 1 minute) in ice cold buffer (comprising 50 mM Tris and 1.4mM MgCl2, having pH 7.4 at 4 °C) before being briefly submerged in water to remove excesssalts. The coronal brain sections were then dried immediately in a continuous cool air streamovernight, prior to apposition.Total binding of 3.3 nM radiolabelled Test Substance 15 to wild-type brain slices was 22 ^ 4fmol / mg protein, whereas binding to NLRX1-knockout brain slices was below the limit ofquantification consistent with specific binding of the radioligand to NLRX1 (see Figure 19).Non-specific binding of Test Substance 15 to both wild-type and NLRX1-knockout brain slices,determined in the presence of 10 µM unlabelled Test Substance 15, was also below the limitof quantification (see Figure 19).To determine a Kd for the binding of Test Substance 15 to NLRX1, a saturation filtration bindingassay was performed using brain homogenates prepared from Sprague-Dawley rats.Specifically, fresh frozen brains from Sprague-Dawley rats (n = 15), were weighed andhomogenised in 5 x (w / v) sucrose buffer comprising 0.32 M sucrose, 5 mM Tris, and 1 mMMgCl2, and having pH 7.4, at 4°C. The homogenate was centrifuged at 32000 g at 4 oC for20 minutes. The resultant pellet was washed in the same buffer and centrifuged again at32000 g at 4 oC for 20 minutes. The pellet was then washed a further three times to obtain aP2 membrane homogenate. This final pellet was resuspended in wash buffer, i.e.50 mMTris, of pH 7.4 at 4°C. The protein concentration was determined by BCA assay (Pierce BCAkit) and the homogenate stored at 80 ⁰C. Next, rat brain homogenates were thawed on iceand made up to an assay volume of 0.25 mL per well, with 55 µg protein per well, usingintracellular buffer (comprising 50 mM Tris, 10 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM MgCl2, and 140 mM KCl,and having pH 7.0) at 4°C. Homogenate suspensions were then incubated at 4 oC for 120minutes with 0.1 to 150 nM radiolabelled Test Substance 15. As above, the specific bindingcomponent was determined by incubating the membrane suspension with radioligand in thepresence of a saturating concentration, 10 µM, of unlabelled Test Substance 15. Assayswere terminated by filtration through Whatman GF / B filters which were pre-soaked in 0.001% dodecyl maltopyranoside, before washing said filters four times with ice cold wash buffer comprising 50 mM Tris of pH 7.4 at 4°C. Known volumes of stock radioligand were counted to produce a standard curve.Using this method, the Kd for the binding of Test Substance 15 to NLRX1 was determined tobe 7.3 nM, which value was the mean of triplicate experiments (see Figure 20). Next, competition binding assays were performed using the above-described filtration binding assay protocol, to determine binding of Test Substances to NLRX1-expressing coronal brainsections. For the purposes of these experiments, radiolabelled Test Substance 15 was addedto coronal brain sections at a concentration of 10 nM. Test Substances were added to samplesat concentrations ranging between 10 µM and 0.01 nM. Specific binding of Test Substances to NLRX1-expressing membranes was assessed via calculation of Kivalues. A summary of the Test Substances screened using the filtration binding assay protocol of the invention, andthe Ki values derived from their screening are summarised in Table 7 below:Table 7: Test Substance No. Test Substance Structure Ki (nM)Test Substance 4 7.3Test Substance 5 5.3Test Substance 16 8.1Test Substance 17 8.1Test Substance 18 8.5Test Substance 19 7.6These results show that the above-described filtration binding assay protocol is a suitablemethod for the identification of substances which bind to NLRX1, and in particular is capable of identifying substances which bind to NLRX1 with high affinity. Inhibition of the mPTP Examples In view of the novel methods and assays which have been developed by the present inventors for the identification of substances which are capable of binding to NLRX1, the present inventors have further investigated whether said substances are capable of inhibiting the activity of the mPTP. Inhibition of the mPTP Example 1: Investigating the mPTP inhibitory activity of substances that bind to NLRX1 using an mPTP activity assay in isolated rat liver mitochondria As discussed above, pharmacological inhibition of the mPTP can be measured in ‘Ca2+retention’ assays performed in isolated mitochondria. Here, activity of the mPTP was measured in mitochondria freshly isolated from female Sprague Dawley (250 to 300 gram) rat livers. Firstly, cervical dislocation was performed onthe rat prior to perfusion of the liver in-situ with about 40 mL cold Dulbecco’s PhosphateBuffered Saline (DPBS). The liver was then dissected and transfered into 30 mL isolationbuffer (250 mM sucrose, 10 mM KCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 25 mM HEPES, adjusted topH 7.5 with 1 M NaOH). Each lobe of the liver was then removed from the buffer, mincedusing tweezers and a scalpel into ~5 mm pieces then transferred into a 50 mL Pottertondounce homogenization tube on ice containing 30 mL ice-cold centrifugation buffer (300 mMtrehalose, 25 mM HEPES, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM EDTA, 10 mM KCl, adjusted to pH 7.5 with 1M NaOH and supplemented with 0.1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and complete proteaseinhibitor cocktail (one tablet of inhibitor per 50 mL buffer).Homogenisation was carried out using a teflon pestle at 1800 rpm. The slurry wascentrifuged at 800 g for 10 minutes at 4 oC, then the supernatant centrifuged at 10,000 g for10 minutes. The pellet was washed once with FLIPR assay buffer (75 mM mannitol, 25 mMsucrose, 5 mM potassium phosphate (monobasic), 20 mM Tris base, 100 mM KCl, 0.1 %BSA adjusted to pH 7.4 with 5 M HCl) centrifuged again, then resuspended in FLIPR assaybuffer to a concentration of 8.8 mg / mL protein.Test Substances (stored in 10 mM stock in DMSO) were serially diluted in DMSO in half logsteps to generate 10 test concentrations (final concentrations in assay 30 µM to 1 nM). An intermediate dilution of 5 µl DMSO samples into 247 µl FLIPR assay buffer was carried out prior to transfer of 5 µl into duplicate wells of a 384 well polypropylene assay plate. Control wells were 0.5 % (v / v) DMSO and 5 µM cyclosporin A.A stock mitochondria / Fluo5N assay solution was prepared in 5.6 mL FLIPR assay buffer (atroom temperature) supplemented with succinate disodium salt (10 mM), rotenone (1 µM),Fluo5N pentapotassium salt (2 µM) and 1 mL mitochondria suspension, prior to beingtransferred (15 µL) into the assay plate containing Test Substances and incubated for 10minutes at room temperature. Assay plates were then transferred to a FLIPR® Tetra PlateReader (Molecular Devices). Dye fluorescence was then measured every 3 seconds for atotal of 10 minutes. After 12 seconds, a 2.5 µL bolus of CaCl2 (75 µM) was added from asource plate containing 675 µM CaCl2 in FLIPR assay buffer. IC50 values for tested compounds were calculated using the fluorescence value collected at the 10 minutes timepoint with % inhibition calculated using the DMSO control and cyclosporin A values as 100 and 0 % respectively.The results of testing Test Substances 1 to 6 in the above-described mPTP activity assay areshown in Table 8 below:Table 8: Test Substance No. pIC50 from mPTP rat liver assay*Test Substance 1 7.9Test Substance 2 < 4.52Test Substance 3 6.7Test Substance 4 6.9Test Substance 5 5.5Test Substance 6 7.5Test Substance 7 6.4Test Substance 8 7.3Test Substance 9 8.4Test Substance 10 6.5Test Substance 11 8.0Test Substance 12 7.7Test Substance 13 6.7Test Substance 14 7.7*mean of 3 or more replicate experiments These results show that all Test Substances which are capable of binding to NLRX1 are also potent inhibitors of the activity of the mPTP. Moreover, it should be noted that, in general, the rank order of Test Substances in NLRX1 binding affinity correlates well with the rank order of said Test Substances in mPTP inhibitory activity. Test Substances 2 and 5, which fail to demonstrate any specific NLRX1 binding activity, similarly fail to inhibit the activity of the mPTPwith any significant potency. In particular, without wishing to be bound by theory, the presentinventors consider that any weak mPTP inhibitory activity of Test Substances 2 and 5 isobserved merely due to inclusion of said Test Substances at very high concentrations. Thisfurther supports the conclusion that inhibition of mPTP activity is mediated via binding to andconsequential regulatory modulation of NLRX1.Chemical Examples Chemical Example 1a: N-(2-Cyclopropyl-3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)propyl)-1-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxamide (racemate)Synthesis To a flask purged and maintained with nitrogen was added cyclopropylacetonitrile (0.24 mL,2.66 mmol) and THF (6.0 m).

Biological Examples In addition to the novel methods and assays described above, the present inventors have also investigated the anti-inflammatory and therapeutic effect of inhibitors of the mPTP, whichinhibition is understood to be mediated via binding to NLRX1, in a range of models.Biological Example 1: Investigating the effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 in a ΔNLS TDP43mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)In the ΔNLS TDP43 mouse model, human TDP43 protein is expressed, via a transgene, withmutations introduced into the nuclear localisation sequence (NLS), such that the humanTDP43 protein is not imported in the nucleus but mis-localised to the cell cytoplasm and otherorganelles e.g. mitochondria. Mis-localisation of TDP43 in this mouse model is thought to resemble that observed in tissue samples / cells from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)patients (Walker et al. 2015).Specifically, the human ΔNLS TDP43 transgene is under the control of the neurofilament (NF)gene promoter and is regulated by a doxycycline transactivation element.In the present study, ΔNLS TDP43 mice were generated by breeding NEFH-tTA (Jax stock 025397) with tetO-hTDP-43ΔNLS bigenic mice (Jax stock 014650). Animals were maintained in 12 / 12 light / dark cycles at a room temperature between 20-26°C and at a relative humidity around 50%. Food and water were provided ad libitum. Pregnant mice and females with offspring at pre-weaning age were provided with chow containing doxycycline (200 mg / kg) to repress the hTDP43 transgene in the pups during development. Pups were weaned at approximately 4 weeks of age, genotyped and kept on doxycycline (200 mg / kg)-containing chow until 7 weeks of age. Mice on study were placed on regular chow. Mice were group housed in OPTI-MICE ventilated cages (Animal Care Systems, CO). Animals were housed in same-genotype groups of control or transgenic mice. Mice in the same cage received the same treatment. Oral treatment with vehicle (n=15) or mPTP Inhibitor 1 (5 mg / ml solution in 2% DMSO, 5%Cremaphor in sterile water) at the indicated doses (50 mg / kg or 150 mg / kg, n=14) was initiatedin parallel with doxycycline withdrawal. After 14 or 28 days of twice-daily dosing, plasma,cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissue samples were collected for analysis.Specifically, mice were anaesthetised via isoflurane administration, placed in a stereotaxicframe and CSF isolated via cisterna magna puncture. Isolated CSF was centrifuged at 5000rpm for 1 min and snap frozen on dry ice prior to storage at -80oC. Next, blood was collectedin EDTA-coated tubes via cardiac puncture. Plasma was isolated from whole blood by centrifugation of the blood sample at 4oC for 15 min at 3000 x g, followed by removal of the plasma supernatant, which was subsequently aliquoted and frozen at -80oC. Finally, brain tissue (i.e. brain cortices) was collected and separated into hemispheres for dissection. Individual cortices were divided into left and right portions, and snap frozen or preserved in RNAlater. The structure of mPTP Inhibitor 1 is as follows: Firstly, to investigate the effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 on neurodegeneration, neurofilament-light(NFL) protein levels were quantified in plasma and CSF after 14 days of twice-daily dosing. Inparticular, NFL protein levels were determined via Quanterix assay, using the NF-Light V2Advantage Kit and the Quanterix SIMOA® assay (Quanterix Cat # 104073). The results areillustrated in Figure 10 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determined by one-wayANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multiple testing; * =0.05, ** = 0.01, *** = 0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figure 10 illustrate that a significant increase in NFL expression was observedin both the plasma and CSF of ΔNLS TDP43 mice relative to wild-type mice. However,treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 at either 50 mg / kg or 150 mg / kg (for 14 days) resulted in a significant reduction in NFL expression in both the plasma (64% for 50 mg / kg, 53% for 150 mg / kg) and the CSF (20% for 50 mg / kg, 62% for 150 mg / kg).Furthermore, to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 in the ΔNLSTDP43 mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the level of expression of the astrocyte activation marker, GFAP, in the plasma, and the level of expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β, in the brain cortices, were quantified. In particular, GFAP levelswere determined via Quanterix assay, using the GFAP SR-X kit. Separately, IL-1β levels weredetermined via lysis of individual mice brain cortices in assay kit lysis buffer (MSD, V-Plex PlusMouse IL-1β) and subsequent assaying according to the manufacturers’ instructions.The results of the GFAP expression assay are illustrated in Figure 11 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multiple testing; * =0.05, ** = 0.01, *** = 0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figure 11 illustrate that a significant increase in GFAP expression was observed in the plasma of ΔNLS TDP43 mice relative to wild-type mice. However, treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 ateither 50 mg / kg or 150 mg / kg (for 14 days) resulted in a significant reduction in GFAPexpression in the plasma (79% for 50 mg / kg, 88% for 150 mg / kg). This result is indicative of treatment with mPTP Inhibitor 1 resulting in dampened neuroinflammation in ΔNLS TDP43mice. In a repeat experiment, ΔNLS TDP43 mice were alternatively treated with mPTPInhibitor 1 at either 10 mg / kg or 50 mg / kg (for 14 days). The results of this repeat GFAP expression assay are illustrated in Figure 12 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multiple testing; * =0.05, ** = 0.01,*** = 0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figure 12 similarly illustrate that treatment of ΔNLSTDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 at either 10 mg / kg or 50 mg / kg (for 14 days, n=12) resulted in a significant reduction in GFAP expression in the plasma. That is, even at a lower dose of 10 mg / kg, treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1, leads to a significantreduction in neuroinflammation, as represented by a reduction in GFAP expression.The results of the IL-1β expression assay are illustrated in Figure 13 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multipletesting; * =0.05, ** = 0.01). The results of Figure 13 illustrate that a significant increase in IL-1β expression is observed in the brain cortices of ΔNLS TDP43 mice relative to wild-type mice.This observation is consistent with induction of neuroinflammatory pathways. However,treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 at 50 mg / kg (for 14 days) resulted in a significant reduction in IL-1β expression, which is representative of dampened neuroinflammation. In addition, the effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 on inflammation in the brain cortices of ΔNLS TDP43 mice was investigated by quantifying the expression levels of an array of mRNA transcripts inthe brain tissue. Specifically, transcriptional expression levels were assessed via RNAseq. Inparticular, RNA was isolated from samples of the brain cortices and preserved in RNAlaterusing QIAzol lysis reagent. Next, samples were lysed, by mechanical disruption, using aTissueLyser (Qiagen) with 5 mm stainless steel beads in 750 µl QIAzol lysis buffer. IsolatedRNA was purified using RNeasy96 Universal Tissue Kit (Qiagen) and stored at -80oC prior touse. Directional mRNA libraries were prepared by PolyA enrichment, and samples weresequenced using Illumina PE150 Sequencing with 8 G of raw data per sample (Novogene).Differential Expressed Gene (DEG) analysis was performed by Fios Genomics. In total, 7694 mRNA transcripts (p.adj. < 0.05) were altered in ΔNLS TDP43 mice relative to wild-type mice. Treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 resulted in a significant change in the expression of 143 mRNA transcripts, 74 of which were also differentially expressed between ΔNLS TDP43 and wild-type mice. As illustrated in Figure 14, the effect of treatment with mPTP Inhibitor 1 was to normalise expression of 73 of the aforementioned 74 mRNA transcripts back in the direction towards that observed in wild-type mice. That is,treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 results in normalisation of a subset ofthe transcriptome to the wild-type, i.e. disease-free phenotype. Upon further analysis, it was identified that a number of mRNA transcripts within the 74 ofwhich were differentially expressed between both ΔNLS TDP43 mice and wild-type mice, andΔNLS TDP43 mice treated with vehicle and ΔNLS TDP43 mice treated with mPTP Inhibitor 1, are associated with inflammation, and in particular are regulated by production of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, interferons. In particular, 12 specific genes / mRNA transcripts wereselected for further validation via qPCR, in an independent experiment. Specifically, mPTPInhibitor 1 was orally administered, at a dose of either 10 mg / kg or 50 mg / kg, to ΔNLS TDP43mice 28 days, and the expression of said 12 specific genes in the brain cortical cell lysateswas quantified and assessed via qPCR. qPCR analysis was performed by reverse transcribing total RNA (1 µg of RNA in 20µL volume) into cDNA using the SuperScriptTM IV VILOTMMaster Mix with ezDNaseTM enzyme kit. Next, a 1 in 10 dilution of cDNA was used as inputfor qPCR assays for the genes of interest, namely Bst2, Stat1, Tspo, Lgals3bp, Ifi27, ISG15, Ifit3, Oasl1, Ifitm3, Ccl4, GFAP, CXCL10 together with the housekeeping gene Gapdh. The output from each qPCR was quantified using the delta delta Ct method and normalised to theequivalent value from the GADPH qPCR assay.The results of this analysis, and corresponding results for said 12 genes in the RNAseq analysis, are shown in Figure 15 and Figure 16. Regarding Figure 16, representative data isshown for two of the 12 specific genes of interest, ISG15 and GFAP (error bars are SEM;statistical significance determined by one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s correction for multipletesting; * =0.05, ** = 0.01, *** = 0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figures 15 and 16 illustratethat each of the 12 specific genes / mRNA transcripts were significantly upregulated (i.e.expression thereof was increased) in ΔNLS TDP43 mice relative to wild-type mice. However,treatment of ΔNLS TDP43 mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 significantly reduced the expression ofeach of the 12 specific genes / mRNA transcripts. Notably, the reduction in expression quantified was similar between the RNAseq and qPCR assays. In summary, these results suggest that in the ΔNLS TDP43 mouse model, which is thought to resemble the conditions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, treatment with mPTPInhibitor 1 leads to a significant reduction in inflammation, as represented by a reduction inthe expression of pro-inflammatory genes and markers, and a significant reduction in neurodegeneration, as represented by a reduction in the expression of NFL, which is a marker of neurodegeneration. Biological Example 2: Investigating the effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 in a pilocarpine induced rat seizure modelThe neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects mPTP Inhibitor 1 were evaluated in a ratseizure model. In particular, status epilepticus was induced in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) ratsvia administration of pilocarpine. Seizures were monitored for 90 min, before being terminatedvia administration of sodium pentobarbital. Animals were allowed to recover for 24 hours,before terminal tissues were collected for biomarker analysis.Specifically, male SD rats (n = 6-10 / group; approx. 7 weeks old at study start, Beijing VitalRiver Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd) were intraperitoneally administered lithiumchloride (Sigma, US; 127 mg / kg in saline) one day prior to the study start, followed byintraperitoneal administration of scopolamine methylbromide (2 mg / kg in saline) 24 hours later to minimise peripheral muscarinic cholinergic effects. mPTP Inhibitor 1 was administered orally one hour prior to pilocarpine treatment. Then, seizures were induced in rats via intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg / kg pilocarpine hydrochloride (MedChem Express, dissolvedin saline). Seizure intensity was measured using the Racine scale, with seizures above Grade4 classified as status epilepticus (SE). After 90 min of SE, seizures were terminated viaintraperitoneal administration of sodium pentobarbital (32.5 mg / kg). Animals were allowed torecover for 24 hours, prior to biomarker analysis.Next, animals were euthanised via isoflurane overdose. CSF was recovered from the subduralregion and stored at -80oC. Blood was collected in EDTA coated tubes, spun at 4000 x g at4oC for 5 min to isolate plasma which was then aliquoted and stored at -80oC. The brains ifindividual animals were removed, sectioned into the left and right cortex, and further dividedinto the posterior and anterior regions. Each section was flash-frozen in liquid nitrogenimmediately after collection and stored at -80oC until required.Expression of cytokine transcripts was quantified via qPCR. In particular, RNA was extractedfrom approximately 50 mg brain tissue from the right posterior cortex. The brain tissue wasincubated in 1 mL QIAzol Lysis reagent and homogenised using a TissueLyser II (Qiagen).RNA was then isolated using chloroform and subsequently processed using a QIAgen RNeasyLipid Tissue Mini kit, according to the manufacturers’ instruction. Reverse transcription wasperformed on 2 µg total RNA using the Invitrogen High Capacity RNA-to-cDNA kit, accordingto the manufacturers’ instructions. Next, transcript levels were determined using the TaqmanFAST gene expression assay for the targets of interest. Expression levels were determined using the deltaCt method, with each transcript of interest (TNF, IL-6, IL1b, CCL2) beingnormalised to the housekeeping gene, GAPDH. Data for each transcript of interest wassubsequently normalised to the vehicle control, allowing relative changes to be accurately compared.The results are illustrated in Figure 17 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determinedby one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s correction for multiple correlation; * =0.05, ** = 0.01, *** = 0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figure 17 illustrate that a significant increase in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine transcripts, namely TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β, and CCL2, was observed in rats treated with pilocarpine, and thus induced into a seizure, relative to rats treated with saline only, 24 hours post-treatment. However, oral treatment of pilocarpine- treated mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1, at a dose of either 50 mg / kg or 150 mg / kg, resulted in a significant decrease in the level of expression of each of these pro-inflammatory cytokinetranscripts. Notably, the 150 mg / kg dose of mPTP Inhibitor 1 elicited a more significantreduction in the expression of said pro-inflammatory cytokine transcripts than the 50 mg / kg dose. These results suggest that treatment with mPTP Inhibitor 1 has an anti-inflammatoryeffect in the pilocarpine induced rat seizure model.In addition, to investigate the effect of mPTP Inhibitor 1 on neurodegeneration, neurofilament- light (NFL) protein levels were quantified in plasma and CSF after 24 hours post-treatment. Specifically, NFL expression was quantified using the Uman Diagnostic NF-Light kit, usedaccording to the manufacturer’s instructions. As appropriate, samples were diluted in kitsample diluent to ensure measured values were within the linear range of the assay. NFL levels in each sample were quantified by converting measured absorbance to a standard curve, then subsequently normalised by reference to samples from saline treated rats (0% effect) and samples from pilocarpine treated rats (100% effect).The results are illustrated in Figure 18 (error bars are SEM; statistical significance determinedby one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s correction for multiple correlation; * =0.05, ** = 0.01, *** =0.005, ****=0.001). The results of Figure 18 illustrate that a significant increase in NFLexpression was observed in both the plasma and CSF of rats treated with pilocarpine, and thus induced into a seizure, relative to rats treated with saline only, 24 hours post-treatment. However, treatment of pilocarpine-treated mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1, at a dose of 10 mg / kg,50 mg / kg, or 150 mg / kg, resulted in a significant reduction in expression of NFL in both theplasma and CSF. Notably, the reduction in NFL expression observed following treatment of pilocarpine-treated mice with mPTP Inhibitor 1 appeared to be dose-dependent. These resultssuggest that treatment with mPTP Inhibitor 1 has a neuroprotective effect in the pilocarpineinduced rat seizure model. In summary, these results suggest that in pilocarpine induced rat seizure model, treatmentwith mPTP Inhibitor 1 has a potent anti-inflammatory effect, as represented by a reduction in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine transcripts, and has a significant neuroprotective effect (i.e. protects against neurodegeneration), as represented by a reduction in the expression of NFL, which is a marker of neurodegeneration. Summary In summary, these results demonstrate that methods developed by the present inventors,which comprise (i) identifying a substance which is capable of binding to NLRX1, for examplevia one of the assays described above, and (ii) confirming that said substance is capable ofinhibiting the activity of the mPTP, for example via the mPTP activity assay described above, are entirely suitable for the identification of new substances which may have utility in thetreatment of diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with altered NLRX1 activity , and inparticular in the treatment of diseases, disorders, or conditions associated with activation ofthe mPTP. Moreover, these results demonstrate that mPTP inhibitors, and specifically mPTP Inhibitor 1,have a potent anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effect in two distinct animal models. It istherefore similarly envisaged that new substances, which are inhibitors of the mPTP, identified by the methods developed by the present inventors, will have a similar effect. Therefore, mPTP inhibitors, including new substances identified by the methods described herein, areexpected to have utility in the treatment of diseases, disorders, or conditions associated withaltered NLRX1 activity and, in particular, in the treatment of diseases, disorders, or conditionsassociated with activation of the mPTP.Miscellaneous All references referred to in this application, including patent and patent applications, are incorporated herein by reference to the fullest extent possible.
