Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the identification of compounds that are suitable for imaging amyloid deposits in living patients. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of imaging amyloid deposits in brain in vivo to allow antemortem diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease. The present invention also relates to therapeutic uses for such compounds.
  • AD Alzheimer's Disease
  • McKhann et al., Neurology 34: 939 (1984) It is the most common cause of dementia in the United States.
  • AD can strike persons as young as 40-50 years of age, yet, because the presence of the disease is difficult to determine without dangerous brain biopsy, the time of onset is unknown.
  • the prevalence of AD increases with age, with estimates of the affected population reaching as high as 40-50% by ages 85-90.
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • NP neuritic plaques
  • NFT neurofibrillary tangles
  • neuronal loss along with a variety of other findings.
  • Post-mortem slices of brain tissue of victims of Alzheimer's disease exhibit the presence of amyloid in the form of proteinaceous extracellular cores of the neuritic plaques that are characteristic of AD.
  • amyloid cores of these neuritic plaques are composed of a protein called the ⁇ -amyloid (A ⁇ ) that is arranged in a predominately beta-pleated sheet configuration.
  • a ⁇ ⁇ -amyloid
  • Neuritic plaques are an early and invariant aspect of the disease. Mann et al., J. Neurol. Sci. 89: 169; Mann, Mech. Ageing Dev. 31: 213 (1985); Terry et al., J. Neuropathol. Exp. Neurol 46: 262 (1987).
  • Amyloid-containing neuritic plaques are a prominent feature of selective areas of the brain in AD as well as Down's Syndrome and in persons homozygous for the apolipoprotein E4 allele who are very likely to develop AD.
  • AD Alzheimer's disease
  • Radiolabeled A ⁇ peptide has been used to label diffuse, compact and neuritic type plaques in sections of AD brain. See Maggio et al., WO 93/04194. However, these peptides share all of the disadvantages of antibodies. Specifically, peptides do not normally cross the blood-brain barrier in amounts necessary for imaging and because these probes react with diffuse plaques, they may not be specific for AD.
  • amyloid-binding compounds will have therapeutic potential in AD and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Morphological reactions including, reactive astrocytosis, dystrophic neurites, activated microglia cells, synapse loss, and full complement activation found around neuritic plaques all signify that neurotoxic and cell degenerative processes are occurring in the areas adjacent to these A ⁇ deposits. Joachim et al., Am. J. Pathol. 135: 309 (1989); Masliah et al., loc. cit. 137: 1293 (1990); Lue and Rogers, Dementia 3: 308 (1992). A ⁇ -induced neurotoxicity and cell degeneration has been reported in a number of cell types in vitro.
  • Thioflavin T is a basic dye first described as a selective amyloid dye in 1959 by Vassar and Culling ( Arch. Pathol. 68: 487 (1959)). Schwartz et al. ( Zbl. Path. 106: 320 (1964)) first demonstrated the use of Thioflavin S, an acidic dye, as an amyloid dye in 1964. The properties of both Thioflavin T and Thioflavin S have since been studied in detail. Kelenyi J. Histochem. Cytochem. 15: 172 (1967); Burns et al. J. Path. Bact. 94:337 (1967); Guntern et al. Experientia 48: 8 (1992); LeVine Meth. Enzymol.
  • Thioflavin S is commonly used in the post-mortem study of amyloid deposition in AD brain where it has been shown to be one of the most sensitive techniques for demonstrating senile plaques. Vallet et al. Acta Neuropathol. 83: 170 (1992). Thioflavin T has been frequently used as a reagent to study the aggregation of soluble amyloid proteins into beta-sheet fibrils. LeVine Prot. Sci. 2: 404 (1993). Quaternary amine derivatives related to Thioflavin T have been proposed as amyloid imaging agents, although no evidence of brain uptake of these agents has been presented.

  • [0174] [C-14]ThT was synthesized and used to determine relative lipophilicity by partitioning between octanol and phosphate-buffered saline. The log of the partition coefficient, logP oct , was found to be 0.57 for [C-14]ThT. It was determined that the quaternary amine renders ThT too polar for use as an effective brain imaging agent. Based on the results of lipophilic Congo red derivatives (phenols uncharged at physiologic pH, but potentially ionizable with a pK a of ⁇ 8.5) (Klunk et al.
  • WO09634853A1, WO09847969A1, WO09924394A2 the inventors removed the methyl group from the benzothiazole nitrogen for the ThT derivatives.
  • the removal of the methyl moiety eliminated the charged quaternary amine from the heterocycle portion of the molecule, leaving an aromatic amine which typically have pK b values ⁇ 5.5.
  • Shorthand nomenclature for the ThT derivatives is used wherein the basic backbone is designated BTA (for BenzoThiazole-Aniline).
  • BTA for BenzoThiazole-Aniline
  • Substituents on the benzothiazole ring are placed before the ‘B’ and the number of methyl groups on the aniline nitrogen is placed after the ‘A’ (see, e.g., FIG. 2).
  • ThT is a fluorescent dye that has been used as a histological stain for amyloid (Burns et al., “The specificity of the staining of amyloid deposits with thioflavine T” Journal of Pathology & Bacteriology 94:337-344;1967.). ThT weakly stains plaques (see, e.g., FIG. 3), tangles, neuropil threads and cerebrovascular amyloid (CVA) in AD brain.
  • CVA cerebrovascular amyloid
  • Preliminary tissue staining shows that both the primary amine 2-(4′-aminophenyl)-6-methyl-benzothiazole (6-Me-BTA-O) and the tertiary amine 2-(4′-dimethylaminophenyl)-6-methyl-benzothiazole (6-Me-BTA-2) also stain plaques and tangles in post-mortem AD brain (see, e.g., FIG. 3).
  • Experiments in which the concentrations of 6-Me-BTA-0 and 6-Me-BTA-2 were progressively decreased showed that staining by both 6-Me-BTA-0 and 6-Me-BTA-1 could still be detected with staining solutions containing only 10 nM of the BTA compound.
  • BTP 2-phenylbenzothiazole
  • ThT and CG have opposite charges at physiological pH, and it is unlikely that they share a common binding site. This is supported by the lack of competition of ThT for [ 3 H]CG binding to A ⁇ fibrils (see, e.g., FIG. 5).
  • ThT binding site lies somewhere between residues 12 and 24 of A ⁇ . It is likely that the positively charged ThT (a quaternary amine) will be attracted to negatively charged (acidic) residues on A ⁇ . Between amino acids 12 and 24, the only acidic residues are Glu-22 and Asp-23. While both of these are candidates, the existing model predicts that Glu-22 is involved very near the Lys-16 binding site for CG. The current “working” model localizes ThT binding to the area of Asp-23—on the opposite side of the fibril from the proposed CG site. Since the key feature of ThT (and CG) binding is the presence of a beta-sheet fibril, binding must require more than just a single amino acid residue.
  • ThT also interacts via hydrogen bonds to His-13 and Gln-15 of a separate, adjacent A ⁇ molecule comprising the beta-sheet fibril.
  • Assessing binding by tissue staining is useful, particularly for assessing specificity.
  • the compound BTP which is not very fluorescent, may not show staining either because it does not bind well enough, or because it is not fluorescent enough.
  • quantitative binding assays can be conducted spectrophotometrically (LeVine ibid). This assay depends on metachromatic spectral shift which occurs when ThT binds to the amyloid fibril. While this assay can be useful to individually screen highly fluorescent compounds that show this metachromatic shift, it has not been determined to be useful for competition assays.
  • test compounds e.g., CG
  • ThT-A ⁇ complex as well as ThT alone
  • Compounds that quench, but do not bind to the ThT site will falsely appear to bind. Therefore, it is preferable to use radiolabeled ThT in typical radioligand binding assays with aggregated A ⁇ . In this assay, inhibition of radiolabeled ThT binding to AD trapped on filters would represent true inhibition of ThT binding and does not require the test compound to be highly fluorescent.
  • the primuline derivatives are prepared based on Schubert's method (Schubert, M. Zurluiphilic der Dehydrothiotoluidin- and Primulin-sulfo Acid, Justus Liebigs Ann.
