Discovery of highly selective and orally available benzimidazole-based phosphodiesterase 10 inhibitors with improved solubility and pharmacokinetic properties for treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension

ABSTRACT: Optimization efforts were devoted to discover novel PDE10A inhibitors in order to improve solubility and pharmacokinetics properties for a long-term therapy against pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) starting from the previously synthesized inhibitor A. As a result, a potent and highly selective PDE10A inhibitor, 14·3HCl (half maximal inhibitory concentration, IC50 = 2.8 nmol/L and >3500-fold selectivity) exhibiting desirable solubility and metabolic stability with a remarkable bioavailability of 50% was identified with the aid of efficient methods of binding free energy predictions. Animal PAH studies showed that the improvement offered by 14·3HCl [2.5 mg/kg, oral administration (p.o.)] was comparable to tadalafil (5.0 mg/kg, p.o.), verifying the feasibility of PDE10A inhibitors for the anti-PAH treatment. The crystal structure of the PDE10A?14 complex illustrates their binding pattern, which provided a guideline for rational design of highly selective PDE10A inhibitors.

Orally Available Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase/Phosphodiesterase 4 Dual Inhibitor Treats Inflammatory Pain.

Project description:Inspired by previously discovered enhanced analgesic efficacy between soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors, we designed, synthesized and characterized 21 novel sEH/PDE4 dual inhibitors. The best of these displayed good efficacy in in vitro assays. Further pharmacokinetic studies of a subset of four selected compounds led to the identification of a bioavailable dual inhibitor N-(4-methoxy-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl)-1-propionylpiperidine-4-carboxamide (MPPA). In a lipopolysaccharide induced inflammatory pain rat model, MPPA rapidly increased in the blood ( Tmax = 30 min; Cmax = 460 nM) after oral administration of 3 mg/kg and reduced inflammatory pain with rapid onset of action correlating with blood levels over a time course of 4 h. Additionally, MPPA does not alter self-motivated exploration of rats with inflammatory pain or the withdrawal latency in control rats.

RhoBTB1 protects against hypertension and arterial stiffness by restraining phosphodiesterase 5 activity.

Project description:Mice selectively expressing PPAR? dominant negative mutation in vascular smooth muscle exhibit RhoBTB1-deficiency and hypertension. Our rationale was to employ genetic complementation to uncover the mechanism of action of RhoBTB1 in vascular smooth muscle. Inducible smooth muscle-specific restoration of RhoBTB1 fully corrected the hypertension and arterial stiffness by improving vasodilator function. Notably, the cardiovascular protection occurred despite preservation of increased agonist-mediated contraction and RhoA/Rho kinase activity, suggesting RhoBTB1 selectively controls vasodilation. RhoBTB1 augmented the cGMP response to nitric oxide by restraining the activity of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) by acting as a substrate adaptor delivering PDE5 to the Cullin-3 E3 Ring ubiquitin ligase complex for ubiquitination inhibiting PDE5. Angiotensin-II infusion also caused RhoBTB1-deficiency and hypertension which was prevented by smooth muscle specific RhoBTB1 restoration. We conclude that RhoBTB1 protected from hypertension, vascular smooth muscle dysfunction, and arterial stiffness in at least two models of hypertension.

Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Determination and Preclinical Pharmacokinetics of the ?-Lactamase Inhibitor ETX1317 and Its Orally Available Prodrug ETX0282.

Project description:Increasingly resistant Enterobacteriaceae have emerged as a health threat in both hospital and community settings. Infections of the urinary tract, once often treated with oral agents in the community, are requiring increased hospitalization and use of intravenously administered agents for effective treatment. These isolates often carry extended spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) and carbapenemases that necessitate the need for an inhibitor to cover a broad range of ?-lactamases. ETX1317 is a novel diazabicyclooctane class serine ?-lactamase inhibitor that restores the antibacterial activity of several classes of ?-lactams, including third-generation cephalosporins such as cefpodoxime. ETX1317 is currently being developed as an orally available prodrug, ETX0282, to be administered with cefpodoxime proxetil (CPDP). The combination has demonstrated oral efficacy in murine models of infection. Pharmacokinetics established in preclinical species and pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic attributes suggest the orally administered combination ETX0282 + CPDP could serve as an effective treatment option against contemporary ESBL and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae.

Treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension: A review of drugs available for advanced therapy.

Project description:Pulmonary hypertension (PH) has traditionally been considered a rare disease with a uniformly poor prognosis. However, this was prior to the introduction of advanced therapies for this condition, and more recent registries in the treatment era have shown 5-year survival rates of up to 65%. Prior to 2000, there was only one licensed therapy for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); less than 20 years later, the US Food and Drug Administration has approved 14 different medications for PAH. This review aims to summarise for the general pulmonologist the evidence for the current internationally available advanced therapies for PAH (World Health Organization Group I disease), which is characterised haemodynamically by the presence of precapillary PH in the absence of another cause. The benefit of these agents, either alone or in combinations, is now undisputed and their use is advocated in all current international guidelines for PAH. The improvement in survival of patients with PAH over the concurrent timeline emphasises the importance both of the availability and usage of effective therapies and of patients being seen in specialist centres, where physicians are familiar with using these therapies.

Endothelial matrix-metalloproteinase-10 promotes pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with systemic sclerosis

Project description:Pulmonary endothelial dysfunction plays an integral role in mediating the initiation and progression of pulmonary vascular remodelling, an important feature of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Our aim was to decipher the gene expression program of endothelial cells derived from circulating endothelial progenitor (EPCs) to gain insight into the pathological process of PAH associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc), which is the most extreme vascular phenotype of this disease. We used microarrays to investigate the gene expression profile in late outgrowth EPC-derived endothelial cells issued from SSc-PAH patients, in comparison with SSc patients without PAH and healthy controls.

Treatment Selection in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors versus Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Stimulator.

Project description:Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a chronic and life-threatening disease that if left untreated is fatal. Current therapies include stimulating the nitric oxide-soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate axis, improving the prostacyclin pathway and inhibiting the endothelin pathway. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil, and the sGC stimulator riociguat are currently used in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. This article discusses the similarities and differences between phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and sGC stimulator based on pharmacological action and clinical trials, and considers which is better for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Formulation, Stability, Pharmacokinetic, and Modeling Studies for Tests of Synergistic Combinations of Orally Available Approved Drugs against Ebola Virus In Vivo.

Project description:Outbreaks of Ebola ebolavirus (EBOV) have been associated with high morbidity and mortality. Milestones have been reached recently in the management of EBOV disease (EVD) with licensure of an EBOV vaccine and two monoclonal antibody therapies. However, neither vaccines nor therapies are available for other disease-causing filoviruses. In preparation for such outbreaks, and for more facile and cost-effective management of EVD, we seek a cocktail containing orally available and room temperature stable drugs with strong activity against multiple filoviruses. We previously showed that (bepridil + sertraline) and (sertraline + toremifene) synergistically suppress EBOV in cell cultures. Here, we describe steps towards testing these combinations in a mouse model of EVD. We identified a vehicle suitable for oral delivery of the component drugs and determined that, thus formulated the drugs are equally active against EBOV as preparations in DMSO, and they maintain activity upon storage in solution for up to seven days. Pharmacokinetic (PK) studies indicated that the drugs in the oral delivery vehicle are well tolerated in mice at the highest doses tested. Collectively the data support advancement of these combinations to tests for synergy in a mouse model of EVD. Moreover, mathematical modeling based on human oral PK projects that the combinations would be more active in humans than their component single drugs.

Antiparasitic activities of novel, orally available fumagillin analogs.

Project description:Fumagillin, an irreversible inhibitor of MetAP2, has been shown to potently inhibit growth of malaria parasites in vitro. Here, we demonstrate activity of fumagillin analogs with an improved pharmacokinetic profile against malaria parasites, trypanosomes, and amoebas. A subset of the compounds showed efficacy in a murine malaria model. The observed SAR forms a basis for further optimization of fumagillin based inhibitors against parasitic targets by inhibition of MetAP2.
