RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The gold standard for symptomatic relief of Parkinson's disease (PD) is L-DOPA. However, long-term treatment often leads to motor complications such as L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). While amantadine (Gocovri™) is the only approved therapy for dyskinesia in PD patients on the American market, it is associated with neurological side effects and limited efficacy. Thus, there remains a high unmet need for addressing LID in PD patients worldwide. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety and performance compared to approved treatments of the serotonin receptor 1A (5-HT1A) and 5-HT1B/D agonists buspirone and zolmitriptan in the 6-hydroxydopamine unilaterally lesioned rat model for PD. METHODS: The hemiparkinsonian 6-OHDA-lesioned rats underwent chronic treatment with L-DOPA to induce dyskinesia and were subsequently used for efficacy testing of buspirone, zolmitriptan and comparison with amantadine, measured as abnormal involuntary movement (AIM) scores after L-DOPA challenge. Safety testing was performed in model and naïve animals using forelimb adjusting, rotarod and open field tests. RESULTS: 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B/D agonism effectively reduced AIM scores in a synergistic manner. The drug combination of buspirone and zolmitriptan was safe and did not lead to tolerance development following sub-chronic administration. Head-to-head comparison with amantadine showed superior performance of buspirone and zolmitriptan in the model. CONCLUSIONS: The strong anti-dyskinetic effect found with combined 5-HT1A and 5-HT1B/D agonism renders buspirone and zolmitriptan together a meaningful treatment for LID in PD.

RESUMO

We have identified a series of tetrahydrocarbazoles as novel P-type ATPase inhibitors. Using a set of rationally designed analogues, we have analyzed their structure-activity relationship using functional assays, crystallographic data and computational modeling. We found that tetrahydrocarbazoles inhibit adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis of the fungal H+-ATPase, depolarize the fungal plasma membrane and exhibit broad-spectrum antifungal activity. Comparative inhibition studies indicate that many tetrahydrocarbazoles also inhibit the mammalian Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) and Na+,K+-ATPase with an even higher potency than Pma1. We have located the binding site for this compound class by crystallographic structure determination of a SERCA-tetrahydrocarbazole complex to 3.0 Å resolution, finding that the compound binds to a region above the ion inlet channel of the ATPase. A homology model of the Candida albicans H+-ATPase based on this crystal structure, indicates that the compounds could bind to the same pocket and identifies pocket extensions that could be exploited for selectivity enhancement. The results of this study will aid further optimization towards selective H+-ATPase inhibitors as a new class of antifungal agents.

RESUMO

Compounds belonging to a carbazole series have been identified as potent fungal plasma membrane proton adenosine triphophatase (H+-ATPase) inhibitors with a broad spectrum of antifungal activity. The carbazole compounds inhibit the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis activity of the essential fungal H+-ATPase, thereby functionally inhibiting the extrusion of protons and extracellular acidification, processes that are responsible for maintaining high plasma membrane potential. The compound class binds to and inhibits the H+-ATPase within minutes, leading to fungal death after 1-3h of compound exposure in vitro. The tested compounds are not selective for the fungal H+-ATPase, exhibiting an overlap of inhibitory activity with the mammalian protein family of P-type ATPases; the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase) and the sodium potassium ATPase (Na+,K+-ATPase). The ion transport in the P-type ATPases is energized by the conversion of ATP to adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate and a general inhibitory mechanism mediated by the carbazole derivative could therefore be blocking of the active site. However, biochemical studies show that increased concentrations of ATP do not change the inhibitory activity of the carbazoles suggesting they act as allosteric inhibitors. Furthermore decreased levels of intracellular ATP would suggest that the compounds inhibit the H+-ATPase indirectly, but Candida albicans cells exposed to potent H+-ATPase-inhibitory carbazoles result in increased levels of intracellular ATP, indicating direct inhibition of H+-ATPase.

RESUMO

The synthesis of 5-chloro-, 6-chloro-, and 8-chloro-substituted 3-alkylamino/cycloalkylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides is described. Their inhibitory effect on the insulin releasing process and their vasorelaxant activity was compared to that of previously reported 7-chloro-3-alkylamino/cycloalkylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides. "5-Chloro" compounds were found to be essentially inactive on both the insulin-secreting and the smooth muscle cells. By contrast, "8-chloro" and "6-chloro" compounds were found to be active on insulin-secreting cells, with the "6-chloro" derivatives emerging as the most potent drugs. Moreover, the "6-chloro" analogues exhibited less myorelaxant activity than their "7-chloro" counterparts. 8-Chloro-3-isopropylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (25b) and 6-chloro-3-cyclobutylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (19e) were further identified as K(ATP) channel openers by radioisotopic measurements conducted on insulin-secreting cells. Likewise, current recordings on HEK293 cells expressing human SUR1/Kir6.2 channels confirmed the highly potent activity of 19e (EC(50) = 80 nM) on such types of K(ATP) channels. The present work indicates that 6-chloro-3-alkylamino/cycloalkylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides appear to be more attractive than their previously described 7-chloro-substituted analogues as original drugs activating the SUR1/Kir6.2 K(ATP) channels.

RESUMO

Potassium channel openers (KCOs) decrease insulin secretion from beta-cells. Some KCOs also protect against damage to beta-cell function and type 1 diabetes in animal models. Previously we have found that the KCO NNC 55-0118 counteracted islet cell dysfunction, and this was associated with a lowering of the mitochondrial membrane potential (Deltapsi). Presently we aimed to explore whether inhibition of insulin secretion per se or rather inhibition of mitochondrial function correlates to counteraction of beta-cell suppression. For this we used two novel KCOs (NNC 55-0321 and NNC 55-0462), which at certain concentrations have different actions regarding insulin secretion and the Deltapsi, with NNC 55-0321 being a potent inhibitor of Deltapsi and NNC 55-0462 being a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion. At 10 microM NNC 55-0321, but not with NNC 55-0462, the islet ATP content and ATP/ADP ratio was acutely decreased. This was accompanied by a complete protection against streptozotocin-induced suppression of islet insulin secretion using the former KCO. In cardiac research KCOs have been used to induce an ischemic preconditioning (IPC) response. In line with an IPC-like mechanism we found that NNC 55-0321 induced an initial free oxygen radical formation, PKC-epsilon isoform activation and a subsequent phosphorylation of the survival promoting factor Akt. Thus, KCOs may elicit mitochondrial events that resemble classical IPC seen in cardiomyocytes, and this could explain the enhanced islet cell function observed. KCOs with this property may be particularly interesting compounds to study as a rescue therapy during acute episodes of beta-cell suppression/destruction.

RESUMO

Ligand-based virtual screening approaches were applied to search for new chemotype KCOs activating Kir6.2/SUR1 KATP channels. A total of 65 208 commercially available compounds, extracted from the ZINC archive, served as database for screening. In a first step, pharmacokinetic filtering via VolSurf reduced the initial database to 1913 compounds. Afterward, six molecules were selected as templates for similarity searches: similarity scores, obtained toward these templates, were calculated with the GRIND, FLAP, and TOPP approaches, which differently encode structural information into potential pharmacophores. In this way, we obtained 32 hit candidates, 16 via GRIND and eight each via FLAP and TOPP. For biological testing of the hit candidates, their effects on membrane potentials in HEK 293 cells expressing Kir6.2/SUR1 were studied. GRIND, FLAP, and TOPP all yielded hits, but no method top-ranked all the actives. Thus, parallel application of different approaches probably improves hit detection.

RESUMO

ATP sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels have important functions in neuroendocrine tissue, in smooth and skeletal muscle and in the heart. In pancreatic beta cells the K(ATP) channels, which are formed by 4 ion channels (Kir6.2) and 4 regulatory sulfonylurea receptors (SUR1), control the glucose stimulated release of insulin. The Kir6.2/SUR1 K(ATP) channels are also present in the brain and in other neuroendocrine tissues. Blockers of Kir6.2/SUR1 channels, e.g. glibenclamide and repaglinide stimulate release of insulin and are used for treatment of type 2 diabetes. Openers of Kir6.2/SUR1 channels, e.g. diazoxide, have in contrast only found limited clinical use in treatment of hypersecretion of insulin associated with certain tumours (insulinoma) and genetic disorders (persistent hyperinsulinemia and hypoglycemia of infancy, PHHI). Recent studies have however, indicated that openers of Kir6.2/SUR1 channels could be useful in treatment of e.g. metabolic disorders and diseases of the CNS. The clinical use of diazoxide has been hampered by its lack of potency and selectivity giving rise to side effects, such as oedema and hirsutism and new selective openers of Kir6.2/SUR1 channels have been pursued. This has provided several structurally diverse series, which include 1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives, like BPDZ 62, BPDZ 73, NNC 55-0462, NNC 55-0118 and NN414, cyanoguanidines, nitropyrazoles and 4-sulfamoylphenylbenzamides. NN414 has been shown to be a potent and Kir6.2/SUR1 selective K(ATP) channels opener, which inhibits glucose stimulated insulin release in vitro and in vivo and which has beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis in preclinical and clinical studies.

RESUMO

1. The beta-cell K(ATP) channel is composed of two types of subunit - the inward rectifier K(+) channel (Kir6.2) which forms the channel pore, and the sulphonylurea receptor (SUR1), which serves as a regulatory subunit. The N-terminus of Kir6.2 is involved in transduction of sulphonylurea binding into channel closure, and deletion of the N-terminus (Kir6.2DeltaN14) results in functional uncoupling of the two subunits. In this study, we investigate the interaction of the hypoglycaemic agents repaglinide and glibenclamide with SUR1 and the effect of Kir6.2 on this interaction. We further explore how the binding properties of repaglinide and glibenclamide are affected by functional uncoupling of SUR1 and Kir6.2 in Kir6.2DeltaN14/SUR1 channels. All binding experiments are performed on membranes in ATP-free buffer at 37 degrees C. 2. Repaglinide was found to bind with low affinity (K(D)=59+/-16 nM) to SUR1 alone, but with high affinity (increased approximately 150-fold) when SUR1 was co-expressed with Kir6.2 (K(D)=0.42+/-0.03 nM). Glibenclamide, tolbutamide and nateglinide all bound with marginally lower affinity to SUR1 than to Kir6.2/SUR1. 3. Repaglinide bound with low affinity (K(D)=51+/-23 nM) to SUR1 co-expressed with Kir6.2DeltaN14. In contrast, the affinity for glibenclamide, tolbutamide and nateglinide was only mildly changed as compared to wild-type channels. 4. In whole-cell patch-clamp experiments inhibition of Kir6.2DeltaN14/SUR1 currents by both repaglinide and nateglinde is abolished. 5. The results suggest that Kir6.2 causes a conformational change in SUR1 required for high-affinity repaglinide binding, or that the high-affinity repaglinide-binding site includes contributions from both SUR1 and Kir6.2. Glibenclamide, tolbutamide and nateglinide binding appear to involve only SUR1.

RESUMO

1,2,4-Thiadiazine derivatives, like 3-methyl-7-chlorobenzo-4H-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide, diazoxide and 7-chloro-3-isopropylamino-4H-benzo-1,2,4-thiadiazine 1,1-dioxide, BPDZ 73, are potent openers of Kir6.2/SUR1 K(ATP) channels. To explore the structure-activity relationship of this series of K(ATP) openers, 4H-1,4-benzothiazine-2-carbonitrile 1,1-dioxide and N-(2-cyanomethylsulfonylphenyl)acylamide derivatives were synthesized from 2-acetylamino-5-chloro-benzenesulfonic acid pyridinium salt or 2-aminobenzenethiols. The 4H-1,4-benzothiazine-2-carbonitrile 1,1-dioxide derivatives (e.g., 7-chloro-3-isopropylamino-4H-1,4-benzothiazine-2-carbonitrile 1,1-dioxide, 3f) were found to activate K(ATP) channels as indicated by their ability to hyperpolarize beta cell membrane potential, to inhibit glucose-stimulated insulin release in vitro and to increase ion currents through Kir6.2/SUR1 channel as measured by patch clamp. The potency and efficacy of, for example, 3f is however significantly reduced compared to the corresponding 4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide derivatives. Opening of the 4H-1,2,4-thiadiazine ring to get (e.g., 2-cyanomethylsulfonyl-4-fluorophenyl) carbamic acid isopropyl ester (4c) gives rise to compounds, which are able to open K(ATP) channels but with considerable reduced potency compared to, for example, diazoxide. Compound 3a, 7-chloro-3-methyl-4H-1,4-benzothiazine-2-carbonitrile 1,1-dioxide, which inhibits insulin release in vitro from beta cells and rat islets, reduces plasma insulin levels and blood pressure in anaesthetized rats upon intravenous administration.

RESUMO

Phenylcyanoguanidines substituted with lipophilic electron-withdrawing functional groups, e.g. N-cyano-N'-[3,5-bis-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-N' '-(cyclopentyl)guanidine (10) and N-cyano-N'-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-N' '-(3-methylbutyl)guanidine (12) were synthesized and investigated for their ability to inhibit insulin release from beta cells, to repolarize beta cell membrane potential, and to relax precontracted rat aorta rings. Structural modifications gave compounds, which selectively inhibit insulin release from betaTC6 cells (e.g. compound 10: IC(50) = 5.45 +/- 1.9 microM) and which repolarize betaTC3 beta cells (10: IC(50) = 4.7 +/- 0.5 microM) without relaxation of precontracted aorta rings (10: IC(50) > 300 microM). Inhibition of insulin release from rat islets was observed in the same concentration level as for betaTC6 cells (10: IC(50) = 1.24 +/- 0.1 microM, 12: IC(50) = 3.8 +/- 0.4 microM). Compound 10 (10 microM) inhibits calcium outflow and insulin release from perifused rat pancreatic islets. The mechanisms of action of 10 and 12 were further investigated. The compounds depolarize mitochondrial membrane from smooth muscle cells and beta cell and stimulate glucose utilization and mitochondrial respiration in isolated liver cells. Furthermore, 10 was studied in a patch clamp experiment and was found to activate Kir6.2/SUR1 and inhibit Kir6.2/SUR2B type of K(ATP) channels. These studies indicate that the observed effects of the compounds on beta cells result from activation of K(ATP) channels of the cell membrane in combination with a depolarization of mitochondrial membranes. It also highlights that small structural changes can dramatically shift the efficacy of the cyanoguanidine type of selective activators of Kir6.2/SUR2 potassium channels.

RESUMO

Treatment with ATP-sensitive K(+) channel openers (KCOs) leads to inhibition of insulin secretion and metabolic "rest" in beta-cells. It is hypothesized that in type 1 diabetes this may reduce beta-cell death resulting from metabolic stress as well as reduce the immunogenicity of the beta-cells during autoimmune beta-cell destruction. We have investigated whether the beta-cell-selective KCO compound, NN414, can be used to improve beta-cell survival in DR-BB rats rendered diabetic by modulation of their immune system. The rats were treated three times daily on days 1-19 with NN414, diazoxide, or vehicle. On day 21, an intravenous glucose tolerance test was conducted to assess beta-cell function. Postmortem histological analysis of rats' pancreata assessed the degree of insulitis and beta-cell volume. Among NN414-treated rats, 46% (16 of 35) were found to have a beta-cell mass similar to that of nondiabetic controls and significant glucose-stimulated C-peptide values, whereas only 11% (4 of 36) of vehicle-treated rats possessed a normal beta-cell mass and function (P < 0.002, by chi(2) test). Furthermore, responsive NN414-treated rats were almost free of insulitis. Thus, this study demonstrated that treatment with KCO compounds can indeed lead to preservation of beta-cell function and reduction of insulitis in a rat diabetes model.

RESUMO

Structural variants of phenylpiperidine selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (P-SSRIs) inhibited the function of two unique Staphylococcus aureus multidrug efflux pumps. The most active compound was the paroxetine isomer NNC 20-7052, which had an IC(50) for ethidium, acriflavine, and pyronin Y efflux of 9, 53, and 18% of its MIC, respectively, against the NorA pump. The unbalanced effect of NNC 20-7052 on the efflux of different substrates suggests the possibility that P-SSRIs function by a physical interaction with NorA. Under the conditions employed pump inhibition partially extended to the resistance-nodulation-division (RND) pump AcrAB-TolC, but not to the Pseudomonas aeruginosa RND pumps MexAB-OprM or MexCD-OprJ.

RESUMO

K(ATP) channels are important for insulin secretion and depolarization of vascular smooth muscle. In view of the importance of drugs affecting K(ATP) channels in the treatment of diabetes, we investigated the effects of these channels on splanchnic blood perfusion in general and pancreatic islet blood flow in particular. We treated anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats with the K(ATP) channel openers diazoxide or NNC 55-0118 or the K(ATP) channel closer glipizide. Both diazoxide and NNC 55-0118 dose-dependently increased total pancreatic and islet blood flow in the presence of moderate hyperglycemia, but had no effects on the blood perfusion of other splanchnic organs. Diazoxide markedly lowered the mean arterial blood pressure and thus increased vascular conductance in all organs studied. NNC 55-0118 had much smaller effects on the blood pressure. Glipizide did not affect total pancreatic blood flow, but decreased islet blood flow by 50% in the presence of hypoglycemia. We conclude that K(ATP) channels actively participate in the blood flow regulation of the pancreatic islets and that substances affecting such channels may also influence islet blood flow.

RESUMO

3-(Alkylamino)-7-halo-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides were synthesized, and their activity on rat-insulin-secreting cells and rat aorta rings was compared to that of the K(ATP) channel activators diazoxide and pinacidil. Structure-activity relationships indicated that an improved potency and selectivity for the pancreatic tissue was obtained by introducing a fluorine atom in the 7-position and a short linear (preferably ethyl) or cyclic (preferably cyclobutyl) hydrocarbon chain on the nitrogen atom in the 3-position. By contrast, strong myorelaxant activity was gained by the introduction of a halogen atom different from the fluorine atom in the 7-position and a bulky branched alkylamino chain in the 3-position. Thus, 3-(ethylamino)-7-fluoro-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (11) expressed a marked inhibitory activity on pancreatic B-cells (IC(50) = 1 microM) associated with a weak vasorelaxant effect (ED(50) > 300 microM), whereas 7-chloro-3-(1,1-dimethylpropyl)amino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxide (27), which was only slightly active on insulin-secreting cells (IC(50) > 10 microM), was found to be very potent on vascular smooth muscle cells (ED(50) = 0.29 microM). Radioisotopic and electrophysiological investigations performed with 7-chlorinated, 7-iodinated, and 7-fluorinated 3-alkylamino-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides confirmed that the drugs activated K(ATP) channels. The present data revealed that subtle structural modifications of 3-(alkylamino)-7-halo-4H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides can generate original compounds activating K(ATP) channels and exhibiting different in vitro tissue selectivity profiles.

RESUMO

Pinacidil analogues, for example, N-cyano-N'-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-N"-(3-methylbutyl)guanidine, 1, have previously been described as potassium channel openers on beta cells and smooth muscle cells. In the present study 3,3-diamino-sulfonylacrylonitrile, a new bioisostere of the cyanoguanidine group, was investigated. 3,3-Diamino-sulfonylacrylonitriles were prepared in a two step synthesis from the corresponding isothiocyanates and sulfonylacetonitriles. Single crystal X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy were used to establish the structure of 2-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-3-cyclobutylamino-3-(3,5-dichlorophenylamino)acrylonitrile 3i. The analysis confirmed that 3i assumes a staggered conformation considered as the energetically most favourable. The compounds synthesised have been identified as potent inhibitors of glucose stimulated insulin secretion from beta cell lines and rat pancreatic islets with minimal effects on vascular smooth muscle.

RESUMO

Repaglinide and nateglinide represent a new class of insulin secretagogues, structurally unrelated to sulphonylureas, that were developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The inhibitory effect of these drugs was investigated on recombinant wild-type and mutant Kir6.2/SUR1 channels expressed in HEK293 cells. Nateglinide and repaglinide dose-dependently inhibited whole-cell Kir6.2/SUR1 currents with half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC(50)) values of 800 and 21 nmol/l, respectively. Mutation of serine 1237 in SUR1 to tyrosine (S1237Y) abolished tolbutamide and nateglinide block, suggesting that these drugs share a common point of interaction on the SUR1 subunit of the ATP-sensitive K(+) channel. In contrast, repaglinide inhibition was unaffected by the S1237Y mutation (IC(50) = 23 nmol/l). Radioligand binding studies revealed a single high-affinity binding site for [(3)H]repaglinide on membranes prepared from HEK293 cells expressing wild-type (equilibrium dissociation constant [K(D)] = 0.40 nmol/l) or mutant (K(D) = 0.31 nmol/l) Kir6.2/SUR1 channels. Nateglinide and tolbutamide displaced [(3)H]repaglinide binding to wild-type channels with IC(50) values of 0.7 and 26 micro mol/l, respectively, but produced <10% displacement of [(3)H]repaglinide bound to mutant channels. This is consistent with the idea that binding of nateglinide and tolbutamide, but not repaglinide, is abolished by the SUR1[S1237Y] mutation and that the binding site for repaglinide is not identical to that of nateglinde/tolbutamide. These results are discussed in terms of a conformational analysis of the drug molecules.
