RESUMO
1. CS-0777, a candidate compound for autoimmune diseases, becomes phosphorylated active metabolite, M1, by fructosamine 3-kinase (FN3K), FN3K-related protein (FN3K-RP); and M1 is reverted back to CS-0777 by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the body. We performed enzyme kinetic analysis of phosphorylation of CS-0777 by FN3K, FN3K-RP, human erythrocytes and human platelets; and dephosphorylation of M1 by various ALP isozymes and human liver, kidney, lung and small intestine microsomes. 2. The Michaelis constants of human FN3K, FN3K-RP and erythrocytes for CS-0777 phosphorylation were in the range from 498 µM to 1060 µM. FN3K inhibitor, 1-deoxy-1-morpholinofructose, suppressed only about 20% of CS-0777 phosphorylation activity in human erythrocyte lysate. Immunodepletion of FN3K and FN3K-RP decreased M1 formation activity by about 25% and 50%, respectively, in human erythrocyte lysate. 3. The Michaelis constants of four human ALPs and microsomes were in the range from 10.9 µM to 32.1 µM. The ALP inhibitor, levamisole, suppressed over 50% of M1 dephosphorylation activity in liver, kidney and lung microsomes. 4. FN3K-RP is expected to take a prominent role in the phosphorylation of CS-0777 in human erythrocytes; dephosphorylation of M1 was observed in all ALPs and human tissue microsomes examined, with a similar affinity towards M1 among them.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling was conducted for the reduction of peripheral lymphocytes after oral administration of CS-0777 to healthy rats, monkeys and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) induced rats. The phosphorylated active metabolite of CS-0777, M1, is a selective sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor-1 modulator. A linear one- and two-compartment model with a reversible metabolism process characterized the time courses of CS-0777 and M1 concentrations in rats and monkeys, respectively. The relationship between lymphocyte counts and M1 concentrations in blood was well described by an indirect response model in all animals examined. An Imax of 0.815 and an IC50 of 6.58 nM in healthy rats, an Imax of 0.807 and an IC50 of 5.09 nM in the EAE rats, an Imax of 0.789 and an IC50 of 0.484 nM in monkeys were estimated by the indirect PD model. Since the IC50 values calculated in terms of the unbound plasma concentration in rats and monkeys were within a similar range, after correction of the IC50 in blood described above with the blood to plasma concentration ratio and the plasma free fraction of M1, it was revealed that there is no species difference in the essential activity of M1 against lymphocyte reduction. The sensitivity of the lymphocytes to M1 was not affected by the EAE status. Comparison of the simulated lymphocyte reduction in EAE rats after multiple dosing with CS-0777 and the actual EAE clinical scores implies that the significant suppressive effect on EAE did not require the elimination of all lymphocytes from the blood.
