Background of invention

Gaucher disease (Gaucher disease) be with patient's cell in, the relevant lysosomal storage disease of glycosphingolipid (GSL) accumulation in monocyte and the scavenger cell especially.The accumulation of this unusual sphingoglycolipid results from coding lysosomal enzyme acid the beta-glucosidase enzyme ((glucocerebrosidase of acid β-glucosidase); GCase) hereditary defect in the gene (sudden change), sour beta-glucosidase enzyme are a kind of lysosomal hydrolases that can decompose GSL glucosylceramide (GluCer).Most of glucocerebrosidase gene (Gba) sudden change has caused GCase folding mistake in endoplasmic reticulum (ER).The GCase of this folding mistake is discerned by the endoplasmic reticulum quality control system, be degraded subsequently, rather than processed be transported to lysosome.

Gaucher disease is that the total man plants disease, and total incidence is about 1/50,000-100,000 births.The sickness rate of specific crowd is than higher.For example, in Ashkenazim crowd, it is the carrier of Gba sudden change that 1/15th people is arranged approximately.According to the data of national Gaucher disease foundation, there are 2500 Americans to suffer from Gaucher disease approximately.

Gaucher disease is the autosomal recessive disease, also is modal lysosomal storage disease.According to the situation of involving of nerve and the severity of disease, this disease can be divided into 3 kinds of Clinical types.1 type is the most common, and characteristic is not involve nerve.The severity scope of patient's performance is very wide; Some people is asymptomatic throughout one's life.Great majority 1 type patient shows as spleen and liver increases, bone is unusual, bone damages and lasting inflammatory reaction.1 type Gaucher disease patient's liver glucose cerebroside ester level is higher than normal level 23-389 doubly.

2 type Gaucher diseases are the rarest and the most serious types.It is relevant with the early stage morbidity of acute nervous system disease.The characteristic feature of nervosa Gaucher disease is that level is watched attentively unusually.This kind of patient develops into and carries out encephalopathy (HIE) and EPS, for example tetanic and parkinson's appearance motion (parkinson's syndrome).Great majority 2 type Gaucher disease patients die from breathlessness or the mistake suction that nerve degeneration causes in early days in childhood.

3 type Gaucher diseases also involve nerve, and are just light than the degree of 2 types.These patients also have the splenauxe and skeletal defect symptom of the liver in 1 type, also have the cns symptom simultaneously, comprise ataxy (ataxia), convulsive seizure, eye muscle paralysis, epilepsy and dementia.3 type Gaucher disease patients can live to and grow up, but probable life is shortened.Had report 3 type Gaucher diseases that 3 subclass are arranged: the 3a type, with the significant splenauxe and bone marrow disease of liver; The 3b type is with limited constitutional symptom (limited systemic symptoms); The 3c type,, corneal clouding splenauxe, the ataxia (progressive ataxia) of carrying out property and dementia, heart valve and aortic root calcification with liver.

The treat-ment of Gaucher disease comprise algucerase (ERT), bone marrow transplantation (BMT), substrate reduce therapy (substrate reduction therapy) (SRT), gene therapy and pharmacology chaperone treatment (chaperone treatment).Isofagomine (isofagomine) is effective suppressor factor of recombinant human acid beta-glucosidase enzyme (GCase).Improve in the lysosomal storage disease the active pharmacology chaperone treatment of mutant enzyme at the USP of owning together 6,916,829,6 through enzyme inhibitorss such as application examples such as isofagomines; 599,919,6,589; 964,6,583,158 and 7; Have in 141,582 openly, they introduce this paper as a reference in full.For example, show, the GCase suppressor factor is joined to cause in the fibroblast cell cultures that GCase transportation and lysosome are active and improve, point out this type suppressor factor having the treatment meaning aspect the Gaucher disease treating.

Recently have been found that between Gba transgenation and the Parkinson's disease relevant.In a research, find; One group suffer from rare, early onset thereof, to treatment have resistivity 17 patients of parkinson's syndrome have the allelotrope of at least one Gba missense mutation; Comprise isozygotying and heterozygous individual of N370S; N370S is typically relevant with 1 type Gaucher disease of non-neuropathic sudden change (Tayebi etc., Mol.Genet.Metab.2003; 79; 104-109).In another research, 99 6 Gba sudden changes (N370S, L444P, 84GG, V394L and R496H) of suffering from the parkinsonian Ashkenazim crowd of the special property sent out have been studied.31 Parkinson's disease patients have the Gba allelotrope of 1 or 2 sudden change: wherein 23 people's N370S is a heterozygosis; 3 people's N370S isozygotys; 4 people's 84GG is a heterozygosis; 1 people's R496H is heterozygosis (people such as Aharon-Peretz, New Eng.J.Med.2004; 351:1972-77).The allelic incidence of mutant N370S is 5 times of incidence among 1573 normal subjectses, is 21 times among the normal subjects for the incidence of 84GG.In the parkinsonian, also the patient age than non-carrier is little to carry the patient of Gba sudden change.This research shows that the heterozygosis of Gba sudden change possibly make the Ashkenazim be prone to suffer from parkinson's disease.Shown that isofagomine can pass the hemato encephalic barrier of animal and improve these two kinds of mutant wild-type GCase active; Therefore it can be used for treating the parkinson patient with GCase heterozygous mutant, or treatment is owing to other factors has the patient who develops into parkinsonian risk but can benefit from the raising of wild-type GCase level.

Though the isofagomine compound is effectively and has optionally recombinant human acid beta-glucosidase enzyme (GCase) suppressor factor, its application as medicine is faced with challenge.For example; The hydrochloride of isofagomine (isofagomine-HCl) at USP 5; 844,102 is open, yet; Isofagomine-HCl and isofagomine free alkali are not easy by large scale purification, and they have bad solid property to the application of industrial scale working method and medicine preparation.
