MAIN CONCLUSION:

The novel C-methyltransferase, MaMT1, could catalyze the conversion of piperidine to 2-methylpiperidine, which may be involved in the methylation step of DNJ biosynthesis in mulberry leaves. Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is a worldwide crop with medicinal, feeding and nutritional value, and 1-deoxynojirimycin ((2R, 3R, 4R, 5S)-2-hydroxymethyl-3, 4, 5-trihydroxypiperidine, DNJ) alkaloid, a potent α-glucosidase inhibitor, is its main active ingredient. Our previous researches clarified the biosynthetic pathway of DNJ from lysine to Δ¹-piperideine, but its downstream pathway is unclear. Herein, eight differential methyltransferases (MTs) genes were screened from transcriptome profiles of mulberry leaves with significant differences in DNJ content (P < 0.01). Subsequently, MaMT1 (OM140666) and MaMT2 (OM140667) were hypothesized as candidate genes related to DNJ biosynthesis by correlation analysis of genes expression levels and DNJ content of mulberry leaves at different dates. Functional characterization of MaMT1 and MaMT2 were performed by cloning, prokaryotic expression and enzymatic reaction in vitro, and it showed that MaMT1 protein could catalyze the conversion of piperidine to 2-methylpiperidine. Moreover, molecular docking confirmed the interaction of MaMT1 protein with piperidine and S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), indicating that MaMT1 had C-methyltransferase activity, while MaMT2 did not. The above results suggested that MaMT1 may be involved in the methylation step of DNJ alkaloid biosynthesis in mulberry leaves, which is a breakthrough in the analysis of DNJ alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. It is worth mentioning that the novel MaMT1, annotated as serine hydroxymethyltransferase, could rely on SAM to perform C-methyltransferase function. Therefore, our findings contribute new insights into the research of DNJ alkaloid biosynthesis and C-methyltransferase family.

Further Structural Exploration of Trisubstituted Asymmetric Pyran Derivatives (2S,4R,5R)-2-Benzhydryl-5-benzylamino-tetrahydropyran-4-ol and Their Corresponding Disubstituted (3S,6S) Pyran Derivatives: A Proposed Pharmacophore Model for High-Affinity Interaction with the Dopamine, Serotonin, and Norepinephrine Transporters

In our previous report, we described a novel series of asymmetric pyran derivatives (2S,4R,5R)-2-benzhydryl-5-benzylamino-tetrahydropyran-4-ol and their enantiomers as blockers of monoamine transporters in the brain. In this report, we describe the further exploration of this series of molecules by incorporating functional groups in the molecular template, which should promote the formation of H bonds with the transporters. In addition, a new synthetic scheme for the asymmetric synthesis of disubstituted cis-(6-benzhydryl-tetrahydro-pyran-3-yl)-benzylamine analogues and their biological characterization is reported. All synthesized derivatives were tested for their affinities for the dopamine transporter (DAT), serotonin transporter (SERT), and norepinephrine transporter (NET) in the brain by measuring their potency in inhibiting the uptake of [(3)H]DA, [(3)H]5-HT, and [(3)H]NE, respectively. The compounds were also tested for their binding potency at the DAT by their ability to inhibit binding of [(3)H]WIN 35, 428. The results indicated that the presence of functional groups, such as -OH, -NH(2), and the bioisosteric 5-substituted indole moiety in both di and trisubstituted compounds, significantly increased their potencies for the SERT and NET, especially for the NET. Among the trisubstituted compounds, (-)-4b exhibited the highest potency for the NET and the SERT (K(i) of 2.13 and 15.3 nM, respectively) and was a serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). Compound (-)-4a exhibited the highest selectivity for the NET. Among the disubstituted compounds, a number of compounds, such as (-)-9a, (+)-9b, (-)-9b, and (+)-9d, exhibited significant low-nanomolar potencies for the SERT and the NET. Interestingly, compound (-)-9d exhibited appreciable potencies at all three transporters. On the basis of our present and past findings, we propose a qualitative model for the interaction of these compounds with monoamine transporters, which will be refined further in the future.

FDA greenlights first treatment for Niemann-Pick disease type C

NPC is a progressive disease where the patient has a mutation in NPC1 or NPC2 – genes that are involved in the processing of cholesterol and other lipids inside cells. Cells with this mutation have a faulty management of lipids, leading to organ damage and neurological symptoms including difficulty with speech and cognition. Delivered as an oral treatment three times per day, Miplyffa boosts the activity of two proteins in the cell called transcription factors EB (TFEB) and E3 (TFE3). These proteins upregulate genes encoding proteins that help lipids within cells to return to healthy levels. Miplyffa is specifically approved for use in combination with miglustat, a drug that is used off-label to treat NPC in around 80% of patients in the U.S. Miplyffa was approved based on results from a phase 2 trial where the drug slowed the progression of NPC compared to patients given a placebo. The company plans to launch the drug within 12 weeks of its approval and expects to set an average price of $85,000 per month for each patient, said president and CEO of Zevra Therapeutics Neil McFarlane in a public conference call . At the same time, Zevra launched a patient support program called AmplifyAssist to help patients and carers with personalized insurance coverage education and assistance with finding funding for their needs. “The FDA approval of Miplyffa marks a significant moment for those living with NPC and the global NPC community,” stated Elizabeth Berry-Kravis, professor at Rush University Medical Center, who worked with Zevra to research Miplyffa use in a real-world setting. She added that effective NPC treatment “requires multiple treatment options due to the complexity of the disease” and that “patients will now have more access to treatments to tackle this devastating disease.” googletag.cmd.push(function () { googletag.display('text-ad1'); }); Arimoclomol was previously developed by the Danish company Orphazyme, which rose to fame in 2021 as a so-called ‘meme’ stock whose price was influenced by social media. In the same year, Orphazyme was slapped with a rejection of arimoclomol from the U.S. FDA in 2021, with the regulator requesting more data. Grappling with bankruptcy, Orphazyme sold its assets to Zevra (then known as KemPharm) in 2022 for $12.8 million. Another candidate in development is IntraBio’s small molecule therapy which is being reviewed by the U.S. FDA with a decision expected in the coming days. And the Dutch company Azafaros is taking its candidate nizubaglustat into phase 3 testing in patients with a genetic diagnosis of either GM2 gangliosidosis or NPC next year .

Azafaros announces completion of 12-week Phase 2 RAINBOW study evaluating lead asset nizubaglustat in rare disease patients

Azafaros announces completion of 12-week Phase 2 RAINBOW study evaluating lead asset nizubaglustat in rare disease patients Major milestone reached in bringing new treatment options to patients and their families. Leiden, The Netherlands, March 12, 2024 – Azafaros B.V. today announced the completion of its 12-week Phase 2 clinical study, RAINBOW (Phase 2 RAINBOW studyNCT05758922). The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, conducted in Brazil, involved 13 patients from the age of 12 years who are affected by GM2 gangliosidosis or Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC). The aim of the RAINBOW study is to determine the safety, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacokinetics of two different doses of nizubaglustat in patients, in order to identify the target dosage for Azafaros’ planned Phase 3 pivotal studies. The main part of the study is now complete, and patients are entering the extension phase, in which all of them will be given the study drug. Top line results of the RAINBOW study are expected to be announced in Q2 2024 and presented to the scientific community later this year. Prof. Dr. Roberto Giugliani, Chief of the Medical Genetics Clinical Research Group at the Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre and Lead Principal Investigator for the study, said: “This is an important milestone because nizubaglustat has a dual mode of action that represents a leap forward from other agents. This dual activity targets some of the fundamental biology of the diseases with high potency and it might offer promise in pivotal studies.” Chris Freitag, Chief Medical Officer at Azafaros, said: “This is a major milestone on our journey to provide patients and their families with a potentially transformative treatment. With the RAINBOW data, we will be able to identify the optimal dose for a pediatric population in our Phase 3 efficacy study, which we plan to initiate as soon as the dose is determined, and the required approvals are in place. We are looking forward to presenting the data from RAINBOW to the scientific community. Azafaros is grateful to the patients and their families who made the decision to participate in this study.” About nizubaglustat Nizubaglustat is a small molecule, orally available and brain penetrant azasugar with a unique dual mode of action, developed as a potential treatment for rare lysosomal storage disorders with neurological involvement, including GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses and Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC).
