Improved Trimethylangelicin Analogs for Cystic Fibrosis: Design, Synthesis and Preliminary Screening.

ABSTRACT: A small library of new angelicin derivatives was designed and synthesized with the aim of bypassing the side effects of trimethylangelicin (TMA), a promising agent for the treatment of cystic fibrosis. To prevent photoreactions with DNA, hindered substituents were inserted at the 4 and/or 6 positions. Unlike the parent TMA, none of the new derivatives exhibited significant cytotoxicity or mutagenic effects. Among the synthesized compounds, the 4-phenylderivative 12 and the 6-phenylderivative 25 exerted a promising F508del CFTR rescue ability. On these compounds, preliminary in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK) studies were carried out, evidencing a favorable PK profile per se or after incorporation into lipid formulations. Therefore, the selected compounds are good candidates for future extensive investigation to evaluate and develop novel CFTR correctors based on the angelicin structure.

Project description:The South Carolina cystic fibrosis (CF) newborn screening (NBS) program changed in 2019 to include CFTR genotyping for babies with top 4% immunoreactive trypsinogen, which improves sensitivity and timeliness but increases carrier detection. Carrier identification has genetic implications for the family and parents of NBS+ babies have increased emotional distress. Genetic counseling (GC) may increase parent understanding and reduce anxiety yet is not uniformly offered at CF centers. We report our early results after implementing GC for NBS+ families at the time of sweat chloride testing based on GC availability, which resulted in an unselected GC- control arm. Sixteen mothers (GC+ = 9, GC- = 7) participated in an online survey about their experience. Responses were analyzed in aggregate and for differences between GC+ and GC- groups. All-respondent sadness and anxiety increased with notification of the NBS+ result and decreased after sweat test results. Anxiety and sadness were greater in GC- compared to GC+ until after the diagnosis was resolved, though emotional differences between the groups were not statistically significant. On a scale of 0 = not at all to 10 = extremely, GC was rated very helpful (mean 9.0, range 5-10), informative (mean 8.9, range 4-10), comforting (mean 9.1, range 6-10), and minimally distracting (mean 1.8, range 0-9). All participants correctly identified that a risk for a child to have CF exists when both parents are (at least) carriers. Delivery of NBS results to respondents varied by timing, informant, and information given. The child's pediatrician notified 10 (62.5%) of the NBS+ result. Parents felt they were notified in a timely manner (68.8%), by someone knowledgeable about NBS (62.5%), the sweat test (62.5%), CF (43.8%), and genetics (43.8%) and who cared about them (81.3%). Parents felt worried (81.3%), confused (81.3%), empowered (25%), and other (sad, shocked, scared, overwhelmed, devastated, defeated). Data from this single-center study suggest benefit of GC, that families would value earlier contact with an expert, and that prompt diagnostic resolution may reduce duration of parental distress.
