Synthesis of deuterium-labelled amlexanox and its metabolic stability against mouse, rat, and human microsomes.

ABSTRACT: As part of a program toward making analogues of amlexanox (1), currently under clinical investigation for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, we have synthesized derivative 5 in which deuterium has been introduced into two sites of metabolism on the C-7 isopropyl function of amlexanox. The synthesis of 5 was completed in an efficient three-step process utilizing reduction of key olefin 7b to 8 by Wilkinson's catalyst to provide specific incorporation of di-deuterium across the double bond. Compound 5 displayed nearly equivalent potency to amlexanox (IC50 , 1.1?M vs 0.6?M, respectively) against recombinant human TBK1. When incubated with human, rat, and mouse liver microsomes, amlexanox (1) and d2 -amlexanox (5) were stable (t1/2 > 60 minutes) with 1 showing marginally greater stability relative to 5 except for rat liver microsomes. These data show that incorporating deuterium into two sites of metabolism does not majorly suppress Cyp-mediated metabolism relative to amlexanox.

Project description:IntroductionThere is a lack of robust metabolic imaging techniques that can be routinely applied to characterize lesions in patients with brain tumors. Here we explore in an animal model of glioblastoma the feasibility to detect uptake and metabolism of deuterated choline and describe the tumor-to-brain image contrast.MethodsRG2 cells were incubated with choline and the level of intracellular choline and its metabolites measured in cell extracts using high resolution 1H NMR. In rats with orthotopically implanted RG2 tumors deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI) was applied in vivo during, as well as 1 day after, intravenous infusion of 2H9-choline. In parallel experiments, RG2-bearing rats were infused with [1,1',2,2'-2H4]-choline and tissue metabolite extracts analyzed with high resolution 2H NMR to identify molecule-specific 2H-labeling in choline and its metabolites.ResultsIn vitro experiments indicated high uptake and fast phosphorylation of exogenous choline in RG2 cells. In vivo DMI studies revealed a high signal from the 2H-labeled pool of choline + metabolites (total choline, 2H-tCho) in the tumor lesion but not in normal brain. Quantitative DMI-based metabolic maps of 2H-tCho showed high tumor-to-brain image contrast in maps acquired both during, and 24 h after deuterated choline infusion. High resolution 2H NMR revealed that DMI data acquired during 2H-choline infusion consists of free choline and phosphocholine, while the data acquired 24 h later represent phosphocholine and glycerophosphocholine.DiscussionUptake and metabolism of exogenous choline was high in RG2 tumors compared to normal brain, resulting in high tumor-to-brain image contrast on DMI-based metabolic maps. By varying the timing of DMI data acquisition relative to the start of the deuterated choline infusion, the metabolic maps can be weighted toward detection of choline uptake or choline metabolism. These proof-of-principle experiments highlight the potential of using deuterated choline combined with DMI to metabolically characterize brain tumors.
