Abstract
Description
BSEED.053WO2 PATENT COMPOSITIONS AND USES FOR INCREASING BIOMETABOLISM BACKGROUND
[0001] An individual’s metabolism plays a crucial role in healthy weight management, serving as an optimal tool for achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. By understanding and optimizing one's metabolic processes, individuals can more effectively regulate their energy balance, which is the key to weight control. This involves the body's ability to convert food into energy, manage nutrient absorption, and eliminate waste. Strategies to enhance metabolism include maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients, engaging in regular physical activity to boost metabolic rate, and ensuring adequate rest and recovery. By focusing on these areas, individuals can support their body's natural metabolic functions, leading to more efficient energy use, improved body composition, and overall better health outcomes.

[0053] The present disclosure provides evidence indicating that the compositions disclosed herein along with novel formulations, are particularly beneficial in metabolic health. As disclosed herein, the compounds and formulations may be provided to a subject to help maintain, support, improve, regulate healthy blood glucose levels, abdominal fat loss, and visceral fat loss in a subject. Abdominal and visceral fat are closely associated with various health complications. Furthermore, the compositions unexpectedly contribute to the preservation of lean body mass during weight loss, which positively impacts metabolic health and physical function. The support for glucose regulation is significant, leading to improved glycemic control, decreased mean glucose and Area Under the Curve (AUC), and reduced glucose variability, all of which are important in preventing metabolic disorders.

[0357] The following non-limiting examples are provided to further illustrate the present disclosure. Example 1
[0358] This example describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, three-arm parallel study to investigate the effects of a dietary supplement containing N-trans- caffeoyltyramine (“NCT”) and N-trans-feruloyltyramine (“NFT”) on body composition and related outcomes.
[0359] Background
[0360] Health promoting properties of foods and beverages extend beyond their content of conventional nutrients (vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, etc.). Indeed, many other naturally occurring bioactive compounds are well recognized for their health promoting properties. Bioactives are small molecules produced by plants, fungi, and microbes that grow in and adapt to environments that present a wide range of challenges to their survival. Bioactives can be widely found in edible plants, herbs, fruits and vegetables (Wallace et al., 2020) and are known to benefit human health.
[0361] N-trans caffeoyltyramine (NCT) and N-trans feruloyltyramine (NFT) are bioactive compounds that have been identified in a range of edible sources including black pepper and hemp hulls. These compounds have gained recent attention for their involvement in cellular signaling modulation in several different organs. In silico work has revealed NCT and NFT as potential agonists of hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (“HNF4α”) in humans (Lee et al., 2021). HNF4α is a signaling compound, known as a nuclear transcription factor, which plays a role in regulating metabolism in the liver. HNF4α has also been identified in the muscle, adipose tissue, intestine, pancreas, and kidney where it serves other functions. One study showed that mice lacking intestinal HNF4A are more resistant to weight gain as early as 4 days after commencement of a high-fat diet (Lu et al, 2022). In another study, adult male HNF4α intestinal knockout mice tended to lose weight when fed the high-fat-high-sugar diet for 15 days (Girard et al., 2022). Even though the role of HNF4α is not fully understood and in vivo studies have inconsistent results, these studies indicate a relationship between HNF4α and weight.
[0362] Preclinical support for these compounds (NCT and NFT) have been executed. The principal finding of these studies is that activating HNF4α through NCT led to 35% to 40% difference in body weight gain and increased mitochondrial mass and fatty acid oxidation compared to mice fed only with a high-fat diet (Veeriah et al., 2022). Earlier studies in which NCT was administered to mice for a shorter time showed stimulation of lipophagy with fatty acids appeared to redistribute to the adipose tissue (Lee et al., 2021).
[0363] Formulation of NCT and NFT Under Analysis
[0364] The substance investigated in this study was a preparation including N- trans-caffeoyltyramine (NCT; CAS: 103188-48-3) and N-trans-feruloyltyramine (NFT; CAS: 66648-43-9) that has been identified in a range of edible sources including black peppercorns, garlic, hemp, and onion (confirmed by internal testing). The NCT and NFT to be evaluated in this study were derived via synthetic biology (i.e., fermentation using a recombinant microorganism) to provide a high purity (>85%) form of these compounds that are structurally identical to their naturally occurring counterparts. All ingredients in the encapsulated final test article, including the NCT and NFT, were manufactured under food GMPs and were suitable quality for use in food, dietary supplements, and specialty nutrition products.
[0365] Safety of Recombinant Microorganism and NCT and NFT
[0366] The host strain engineered to produce NCT and NFT was Yarrowia lipolytica, a well-characterized strain of yeast that is nonpathogenic and non-toxigenic with no antibiotic resistance. It has been used extensively in food manufacturing with no documented toxic, allergenic, nor other harmful effects on the health of humans (Groenewald et al., 2014). The strain is recognized as safe for use in human food by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA, 2023) and the International Dairy Federation (IDF, 2022). In the US, there have been multiple Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) submissions for novel food ingredients using Y. lipolytica as the production strain which have received Letters of No Questions from the Food & Drug Administration (indicating the Agencyʼs agreement with the GRAS conclusion; GRN No.940, GRN No.759, GRN No.632, and GRN No.355).
[0367] The Y. lipolytica host strain has been modified to produce either NCT or NFT depending on whether the precursor caffeic acid or ferulic acid was fed during the fermentation process. The genes added to the Y. lipolytica genome were identified in plant or yeast sources and have been codon optimized and integrated stably into the host genomewithout introduction of antibiotic resistance or mobile genetic elements. The manufacturing process for NCT and NFT removes the genetically modified DNA, which is verified by a negative result for a PCR test specifically designed to detect the recombinant DNA.
[0368] The safety of NCT and NFT has been evaluated as part of an assessment for a novel hemp hull fiber ingredient, which was unanimously concluded to be GRAS for human consumption by a qualified panel of scientific experts. The safety of the phenolic content, including NCT and NFT, were based on history of hemp consumption, publicly available literature, and data generated showing no adverse events in 5 studies in male rodents receiving NCT or NFT doses of 400 to 600 mg / kg bw / day for 10 days to 4 months and in a human study with adults receiving 10 NFT mg / day for 7 days. Considering the maximum permissible phenolic spec of 100 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) / g and that NCT and NFT compose approximately 4.5% of the phenolic fraction in hemp hulls (Leonard et al., 2021), a cumulative 90th percentile estimated daily intake for adult males of NCT and NFT from hemp hull fiber of 176 mg / d is permitted under the GRAS conclusion.
[0369] Additionally, a human clinical study was recently completed in which no adverse effects were observed in healthy overweight and obese adults (n = 47) receiving 20 mg NFT per day in the form of a black pepper extract for 3 months.
[0370] Safety Conclusion
[0371] Based on the information outlined above and considering the cumulative doses of NCT and NFT of 60 mg per day and 120 mg per day proposed for evaluation in the current study, the test articles containing NCT and NFT produced using a modified strain of Y. lipolytica can be reasonably concluded to be safe at the intended doses and highly unlikely to pose any safety concern to study participants.
[0372] Objective
[0373] The primary objective of this study was to quantify changes in body fat in response to daily consumption of a novel dietary supplement containing NCT and NFT at two different dose levels in free-living adults with overweight and obesity over a 24-week period. The primary hypothesis was that supplementation with NCT and NFT will result in larger reductions in body fat over 24 weeks compared to placebo.
[0374] Study Design
[0375] This study utilized a randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel study design with one screening visit (week -1) and seven test visits (weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24).
[0376] In brief, following initial screening, participants were tested at weeks 0 (baseline), 12, and 24 for body composition, anthropometrics, vital signs, blood chemistry / cardiometabolic biomarkers, and self-reported tolerability outcomes. Participants returned to the clinic each month to assess body weight, ensure compliance with study product consumption, and encourage continued participation throughout the study. The study design is illustrated in FIG.1 and the schedule of activities is outlined in Table 1. Table 1 Screen Intervention1Assess Adverse Events X X X X X X X1Visits 1 and 2 may be separated by 1 to 7 days. A window of ±3 d will be allowed for visits
[0377] Study Procedures
[0378] Medical History
[0379] Each participant’s relevant medical history covering the past 5 years will be reviewed by a Clinical Investigator.
[0380] Physical Exam
[0381] A physical examination will be performed at visit 1 (week -1), which will include an evaluation of the head, ears, eyes, nose, throat (HEENT), skin, neck, lungs, heart, and abdomen.
[0382] Clinic Visit
[0383] Visit 1: Measurement of height with BMI calculation, as well as vital signs (resting blood pressure and heart rate) and last menses query, where applicable. Evaluation of inclusion / exclusion criteria and concomitant medication / supplement use for study eligibility.
[0384] Visits 2-8: Measurement of vital signs (resting blood pressure and heart rate) and last menses query, where applicable. Review inclusion / exclusion criteria and concomitant medication / supplement to confirm study eligibility prior randomization at visit 2 and for possible protocol deviations at visits 3-8.
[0385] Vital signs: Resting blood pressure and heart rate will be measured using an automated blood pressure measurement device. Systolic and diastolic pressures will be measured using an appropriately sized cuff (bladder within the cuff must encircle ≥80% of the arm). After the participant has been sitting quietly for at least 5 min, three repeated measurements will be taken, each separated by at least 2 min. The average of the last two measurements will be used.
[0386] Body Weight
[0387] Body weight will be measured following an overnight fast (≥ 8-15 h; water only) the morning of all clinic visits (visits 1 through 8; weeks -1 through 24). Participants will be asked to empty their bladder / bowels, change into a gown and remove their shoes before their weight is obtained. Weight will be recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg. The same digital scale (Health-O-Meter Professional 349KLX) will be used to measure body weight at each clinicvisit. Attempts will be made to assess body weight at all post-enrollment study visits at approximately the same time of day as in visit 2 (week 0). The scale will be calibrated prior to the start of the study.
[0388] Sample Population
[0389] A total of 150 participants that met all of the following inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria were enrolled. A I / E waiver was requested for any planned deviation. A total of 22 waivers were granted primarily pertaining to the BMI criterion.

[0396] Study Products
[0397] Placebo: 1 capsule / day
[0398] Active low dose: 60 mg (NCT / NFT) via 1 capsule / day
[0399] Active high dose: 120 mg (NCT / NFT) via 1 capsule / day
[0400] Every day for 24 weeks, participants were instructed to consume their assigned study product with water only after waking and at least 30 minutes before the first eating occasion. If a participant failed to consume the study product at that time (i.e., normally consumes before breakfast but forgot), he / she was instructed to consume their assigned product with water at least 30 minutes prior to the next eating occasion (e.g., if missed prior to breakfast, consume study product at least 30 minutes before lunch). Participants were advised not to consume more than 1 capsule / day. An instruction to not consume the study product with coffee, tea or juice was given.
[0401] Storage and Dispensing
[0402] Study products will be stored in a cool, dry, secure location at ambient temperature. Study product supplies are to be used only in accordance with this protocol and under the supervision of the Clinical Investigator. A product dispensing log will be maintained. All records must be available for inspection and are participant to regulatory agency inspection at any time. Copies of the records will be provided at the conclusion of the study. A written explanation from the study staff will be required for any missing study product. Non- dispensed study products and unconsumed study products returned by the participants will be destroyed after the completion of the study product reconciliation.
[0403] Participants will be dispensed 1 bottle containing 101 capsules at visit 2 (week 0) and 1 bottle containing 101 capsules at visit 5 (week 12).
[0404] Blinding
[0405] Participants were randomized 1:1:1 in permuted blocks to either a placebo, low dose, or high dose arm. Participants were stratified by baseline BMI category (≥28.0 to <30.0 kg / m2; ≥30.0 to <35.0 kg / m2) and sex.
[0406] Study product was packaged as non-descript capsules. Participants and study staff remained blinded to the study product throughout the study. A set of sealed unblinding envelopes were provided to the Clinical Investigator for use in an emergency situation where knowledge of the assignment was essential for the participant’s immediate medical care. No unblinding was required during the study.
[0407] Data Analysis and Statistical Methods
[0408] This study investigated the effects of a dietary supplement containing the bioactives NCT and NFT on body composition and related outcomes in adults with overweight and obesity over 24 weeks. For the primary endpoint, which was the change in body fat mass (kg) from week 0 to week 24 as measured by DEXA, no significant difference was detected for either the low dose or high dose group compared to placebo. Furthermore, the DEXA body composition data suggested no significant decrease in body fat mass was observed within any of the study product groups (placebo, low dose, or high dose) from week 0 to week 12 or week 24. Similar findings were generally observed for most secondary and exploratory outcomes, including other body composition measures (e.g., percent fat mass, android fat, gynoid fat, and abdominal visceral fat), body circumferences (hip, chest, bicep, waist to hip ratio), cardiometabolic parameters (fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c, blood pressure, blood lipids), body weight, SF-36 health concepts, and dietary intake parameters.
[0409] Post hoc subgroup analyses (sex, BMI group, glucose group) identified some potential differences in how certain subgroups responded, particularly regarding visceral fat mass, waist circumference, and hip circumference interactions. Notably, placebo group changes in visceral fat and some circumference measures appeared to differ by sex and / or glucose status, while the low dose active group showed some potential for decreases in waist and hip circumference in the lower BMI subgroup. These findings should be interpreted with caution.
[0410] The safety assessments indicated the study products were generally well tolerated, with no significant changes were observed in liver enzymes (ALT and AST) and a majority of possibly related adverse events occurred in the placebo group, with only a few mild events reported as possibly related in the active treatment groups.
[0411] Sample Size
[0412] There was no existing data to support a power calculation to determine the appropriate samples size to test the effects of the bioactives NCT and NFT at two different dose levels on body fat changes in free-living humans. However, in commercial weight loss programs utilizing a “usual care” control group, typical mean fat mass change in a similar timeframe was approximately ~1.0 ± 2.0 kg in adult men and women with a BMI ≥28.0 to <40.0 kg / m2. These findings were also generally consistent with other placebo control test conditions in published weight loss studies. Therefore, it was assumed that, on average, the placebo control group will have a 1.0 ± 2.0 kg fat mass change and a conservative estimate of 3.0 ± 4.0 kg change in body fat mass in each active group (reflecting a change in body composition associated with a clinically meaningful change of at least 5% body weight loss at week 24). There was approximately 80% power to detect an effect size of approximately 0.63 (i.e., an actual difference of 2.0 kg with a SD of 2.0 kg and 4.0 kg in the control and active groups, respectively) at a 2-sided 0.05 significance level with 123 subjects (n = 41 per group) using a two sample t-test. Note that comparisons of each active product to placebo were to be made at α = 0.05, which controlled the family wise error rate at 0.10. To allow for possible attrition (~30%), 150 subjects were randomized.
[0413] Primary Endpoint
[0414] The body fat mass (kg) change from week 0 to week 24 as measured by the DEXA scan.
[0415] Secondary Endpoint
[0416] Secondary endpoints included the change in body composition from week 0 to weeks 12 and 24, as measured by a DEXA scan. Specific body composition parameters assessed were body fat mass (kg) at week 12, percent fat mass, android fat mass (kg), gynoid fat mass (kg), and abdominal visceral fat mass (g). Additionally, the change in body circumference was measured from week 0 to weeks 12 and 24 using a 3D body scan, assessing waist (abdominal) circumference (cm), hip circumference (cm), chest circumference (cm), upper thigh circumference (cm), upper arm bicep circumference (cm), and the waist-to-hip ratio.
[0417] Cardiometabolic parameters were assessed by measuring the change from week 0 to specified follow-up visits. These included fasting glucose, fasting insulin, and HbA1c at weeks 12 and 24; FGF21 at week 24; systolic and diastolic blood pressure at weeks4, 8, 12, and 24; and a full blood lipid panel (Total-C, HDL-C, LDL-C, VLDL-C, Non-HDL- C, and Triglycerides) at weeks 12 and 24. The change in body weight from week 0 was also recorded at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 24. Further secondary endpoints included the change in health-related quality of life, as measured by the SF-36 health concepts survey from week 0 to weeks 12 and 24, and the change in dietary intake, assessed via a Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) at weeks 12 and 24, which evaluated total kilocalories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score. Safety parameters were monitored throughout the study and included the documentation of product-emergent adverse events and changes in the chemistry profile, including liver enzymes ALT and AST, from baseline to weeks 12 and 24.
[0418] Outcome Analysis
[0419] A post hoc analysis was conducted evaluating the impact of sex (Male, Female), BMI group (≥28 to <30 kg / m2, ≥30 to <35 kg / m2), and glucose group (<100 mg / dL, ≥100 mg / dL) on the body composition and body circumference outcomes over time. For each set of outcomes, the model contained the 3-way interaction between study group, time, and the respective subgroup (i.e. sex, BMI group, and glucose group) as well as the relevant 2-way interactions and main effects. Model derived estimates were provided for the time point as well as the change from baseline along with the corresponding confidence interval. Boxplots were provided for the raw data and interaction plots were provided for the model derived estimates.
