Definitions

  • Tripeptide derivatives for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases are Tripeptide derivatives for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
  • the invention relates to the use of tripeptide derivatives for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly those caused by apoptotic processes.
  • Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by a degradation or degeneration of nerves which are generally caused by apoptosis .
  • Examples of neurodegenerative diseases include Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment, Parkinson's disease as well as AIDS-related neurological disorders.
  • Alzheimer's disease the nerve degradation leads to a disruption of the ability to remember, speak, think and make decisions. The reasons for these disorders are not known in detail.
  • On the biochemical level a change in the cortical cholinergic systems with a decrease in the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is detectable.
  • the acetylcholine concentration is decreased by 20 to 40 %.
  • nerve ends are attacked, and this leads ultimately to the death of the cerebral cells, particularly those of the hippocampus .
  • Alzheimer's disease is characterized by three distinct phases: a phase of pre-dementia, a phase of light dementia, and a phase of severe dementia.
  • a neuronal degeneration is observed, particularly oh the level of the hippocampus.
  • the typical amyloid deposition occurs.
  • Classical treatments of Alzheimer's disease using nootropic substances only alleviate the symptoms of the disease, particularly cognitive disorders, during administration of the substance. Once the ' administration is discontinued, the symptoms reappear. This is in contrast to an anti- neurodegener tive effect in the hippocampus which results in a decrease and preferably stopping of the evolution of the hippocampal neuron degeneration.
  • Nootropic substances are for example disclosed in EP 0 316 218 Bl .
  • Recent therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer's disease therefore address the stabilisation of the acetylcholine concentration, particularly by inhibiting acetylcholine esterase which degrades acetylcholine to acetate and choline.
  • acetylcholine esterase inhibitors shows the drawback that this results in an only temporary improvement which is not suitable for stopping or even reversing the nerve degeneration.
  • neurotrophic factors or neurotrophines are known to which a significant influence on the survival, growth and differentiation of discrete neuronal populations is ascribed.
  • the neurotrophine family includes nerve growth factor (NGF) , brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) , neurotrophine-3 (NT-3) , neurotrophine-4 (NT-4) and the CNTF-family (ciliary neurotrophic factor) .

  • NT-3 neurotrophine-3
  • NT-4 neurotrophine-4
  • CNTF-family ciliary neurotrophic factor

  • the anti-neurodegenerative effect of the tripeptide derivatives to be used according to the present invention is surprising, particularly when administered parenterally or enterally.
  • the nootropic effect of these substances is known from EP 0 316 218 Bl, the finding that these substances do not only show a temporary nootropic effect during administration, but a stopping of nerve degeneration could not be expected.
  • the administration of the substances to be used according to the present invention is preferred for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and particularly mild cognitive impairment .
  • the superior therapeutic properties of the tripeptide derivatives used according to the present invention will be further illustrated below using particularly useful models for Alzheimer's disease. Using these models, it could be demonstrated that the administration of the tripeptide derivatives used according to the present invention does not only result in an increase of the number of hippocampus neurons, but also results in an improvement of the learning behaviour of the rats used in the tests.
  • the transgenic mouse model is only of limited use as far as behavior is concerned. Therefore we present a battery of three rat models .
  • Each model reproduces one of the physiopathologic features of the disease : neurofibrillary degeneration in the vincristine model, degeneration by beta- amyloid in the Gpl20 model, and apoptosis in the dexamethasone model .
  • Vincristine is an anticarcinogen that is used as a synchronizing agent. This molecule binds to the spindle of microtubules, thus blocking the cellular multiplication during the metaphase. It is a spindle poison. The neurons do not multiply under physiologic conditions, but the axons are made of neurofibrils whose structure is similar to the one of the microtubules of the spindle. Vincristine binds to these neurofibrils thus causing peripheral neural conduction disorders in patients who are treated for neoplasm. These effects mainly affect the white matter of the axons. As vincristine does not pass the blood-brain barrier it has to be given by intracerebroventricular administration.
  • the repeated ICV administration of vincristine causes a degeneration of the conduction pathways with the appearance of abnormal neurofibrils similar to those observed in Alzheimer's disease. This degeneration mainly affects the periventricular structures . The hippocampi are affected through a decrease of their ramifications, while the cell bodies of the neurons are not altered.
  • the repeated administration of vincristine is only possible for a short time (5 days at a maximum) . After this period, a protective layer forms on the glia cells that prevent the diffusion of vincristine from the CSF to the neighboring nerve cells.
  • mice Male Wistar rats (Charles River, Saint Aubin les Elbeuf, France) , each weighing on average 280-300 grams, were used in the animal experiments. For a period of one week, the animals were placed in stablings in an animal laboratory where the following parameters were controlled :
  • the animals got drinking water and a standard feed UAR A03 ad libitum.
  • the injections were given at 9.00 a.m.
  • the first group of 10 rats received 1 ml/kg water under the same conditions .
  • the rats were placed under the common learning conditions of the three models between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. (see below) .
  • the rats were placed under the common learning conditions of the three models between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. (see below) .
  • the number of glucocorticoid receptors was determined by a binding method using a labeled c ⁇ rticoid and a specific inhibitor to the binding of the corticoid to the receptor (here a total agonist) .
  • the protein content was measured by Lowry's method.
  • the hippocampi of each rat were homogenized in 2ml of sodium EDTA Glycerol molybdate buffer. The homogenate was centrifugated at 100.000 g for 60 minutes. An aliquot of the supernatant was diluted in distilled water, and the protein content was measured by Lowry's method. This protein concentration was between 1.3 and 1.7 mg/ml .
  • the rest of the supernatant was divided into three parts of 0.2ml each. Increasing concentrations (25, 50 and 75 nmoles/ml) of dexamethasone 3H (Amersham 50Ci/mM) were added to these parts . Three other preparations were carried out under the same conditions, while a saturating quantity of a total antagonist of the receptors (RU 28362) was added to obtain a non-specific binding of the labeled dexamethasone. After one night of incubation at 4°C, charcoal/dextran was added to absorb the proteins and the bound dexamethasone. After centrifugation, the radioactivity of the supernatant was measured by liquid scintillation.
  • results are expressed in femtomoles of the labeled corticoid bound to the receptor per mg of proteins .
  • Results are expressed as percentage of adequate responses, and the kinetics of the responses is represented by a multi-exponential maximum curve.
  • the curve maximum represents the learning capacities .
  • the slope of the curve evaluates the learning speed.
  • the area under the curve (AUC) represents a good evaluation of all conditioning parameters.
  • the maximum value of the area under the curve is 500, if the animals show 100% adequate responses as early as Day 0. In fact, an average area under the curve is calculated per day, what amounts to a maximum value of 100. In the absolute control animals, this average area under the curve is equal to 40+/-4.
  • All reagents used are grade I reagents, and are provided by Aldrich (Saint Quentin Fallavier, France) .
  • Dexamethasone 3H is provided by Amersham (England) .
  • the specific agonist ( RU 28362) is provided by Roussel.
  • Results are expressed as an average with the standard error of mean (SEM) of the results obtained from ten rats par experimental group.
  • the variability is calculated as a function of the least squares for each experimentation day. Significance is determined by a t-test.
  • the rats were sacrificed by means of decapitation, and the brain was isolated and frozen to -80°C with liquid nitrogen. Cuts of a thickness of 50 ⁇ m were obtained in a "cryo-cut", and the neurons are counted in the CA III layers of the hippocampus under a microscope. The results are expressed as percentage of the control group.
  • dexamethasone induces a very drastic decrease in the number of corticoide receptors in the hippocampus .
  • a decrease in the order of 60 % was found.
  • the administration of the tripeptide to be used according to the present invention results in a significant increase of the number of receptors of hippocampus neurons . Tacrine does not show any effect under the same conditions.
