  • TTR transthyretin
  • Dibenzofuran-4,6-dicarboxylic acid core structures having an aromatic substituent appended onto the dibenzofuran ring at the C1 position using three different types of linkages are disclosed herein and shown to afford exceptional amyloidogenesis inhibitors that display increased affinity and greatly increased binding selectivity to TTR over all the other plasma proteins, relative to lead compound 1 (Purkey, H. E.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2001, 98, 5566-5571). It is further disclosed herein that these compounds function by imposing kinetic stabilization on the TTR tetramer.
  • Transthyretin (TTR) amyloidogenesis requires rate limiting tetramer dissociation and partial monomer denaturation to produce a misassembly competent species. This process has been followed by turbidity to identify transthyretin amyloidogenesis inhibitors including dibenzofuran-4,6-dicarboxylic acid (1).
  • An X-ray cocrystal structure of TTR•1 2 reveals that it only utilizes the outer portion of the two thyroxine binding pockets to bind to and inhibit TTR amyloidogenesis.

  • FIG. 7 shaded in gray contains dibenzofuran-based compounds that meet the criteria for high in vitro activity ( ⁇ 40% fibril formation) and high binding selectivity (>1 equiv bound to TTR in plasma).
  • the most important point is that the activity and binding selectivity of almost all of the dibenzofuran-based inhibitors, especially those in the gray box ( FIG. 7 ), are sufficient to kinetically stabilize TTR in plasma should they display desirable oral bioavailability, pharmacokinetic, and toxicity profiles.
  • inhibitor efficacy in vitro (3.6 ⁇ M) and inhibitor binding selectivity (10.8 ⁇ M) to TTR in plasma do not correlate ( FIG. 7 ).
  • Compounds that exhibit superior binding selectivity to TTR over all of the other plasma proteins should be excellent inhibitors of fibril formation.
  • excellent inhibitors need not display high TTR plasma binding selectivity.
  • Excellent inhibitors that display high TTR plasma binding selectivity are the most useful compounds in humans because these can selectively stabilize the TTR native state over the dissociative transition state and impart kinetic stabilization on TTR in a protein-rich biological fluid.
  • Their binding constants to TTR are important because the extent of kinetic stabilization is proportional to the binding constants.
  • dibenzofuran inhibitors display unprecedented binding selectivity and inhibitor potency as a group relative to inhibitors characterized heretofore (Hammarstrom, P.; et al. Science 2003, 299, 713-716; Klabunde, T.; et al. Nature Struct. Biol. 2000, 7, 312-321; Razavi, H.; et al. Angew. Chem. 2003, 42, 2758-2761; Miroy, G. J.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1996, 93, 15051-15056; Peterson, S. A.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1998, 95, 12956-12960; Baures, P.
  • TTR is the tertiary carrier of T 4 , more than 99% of its binding sites are unoccupied; therefore, inhibitor binding to TTR should not perturb T 4 homeostasis.
  • the C1-substituted dibenzofuran-based TTR amyloidogenesis inhibitors are promising because of their amyloid inhibition potency in vitro, their superb binding selectivity to TTR in plasma, their slow TTR dissociation rates (which must be the case to see high plasma selectivity by the method utilized herein), their ability to impose kinetic stabilization upon the TTR tetramer, their chemical stability in plasma, and their chemical stability at low pH (making them excellent candidates for oral administration).
  • These inhibitors are useful for the treatment of TTR amyloid diseases, including SSA, FAP, and FAC, because kinetic stabilization of TTR is known to ameliorate FAP (Hammarstrom, P.; et al.
  • FIG. 1A depicts the two symmetry equivalent binding modes of 1 (green and yellow) within one of the TTR thyroxine binding sites, the surface of which is outlined in gray (Klabunde, T.; et al. Nature Struct. Biol. 2000, 7, 312-321).
  • the carboxylates at the 4 and 6 positions make electrostatic interactions with the ⁇ -NH 3 + groups of Lys 15 and 15′ at the entrance to the thyroxine binding site. Removal of one of the carboxylates renders dibenzofuran much less active, as does varying the carboxylate spacing from the aromatic ring in most cases ( FIG. 2 ).
  • the dibenzofuran ring nicely complements the shape and hydrophobicity of the outer portion of the thyroxine binding cavity.
  • Inspection of the TTR•1 2 crystal structure in FIG. 1A reveals that there is a large amount of unoccupied volume in the inner portion of the thyroxine binding site with 1 bound.
  • a substituent such as an aryl ring, could be projected into the inner portion of the binding site by attaching it to the C1 position of the dibenzofuran ring of 1.
  • such a substituent could be linked to a dibenzofuran scaffold through a heteroatom (N or O) or directly via a C aryl -C aryl bond (not shown).
  • Aromatic substituents ( FIG. 3 ) were chosen to interact with either the halogen binding pockets or hydrogen bonding substructures within the inner cavity based on the envisioned orientation of the phenyl ring in the inner binding cavity and previous SAR data from other chemical series thought to position their aryl rings similarly (Hammarstrom, P.; et al. Science 2003, 299, 713-716; Klabunde, T.; et al. Nature Struct. Biol. 2000, 7, 312-321; Razavi, H.; et al. Angew Chem 2003, 42, 2758-2761; Miroy, G. J.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
  • Inhibition efficacy (compounds 24-38, 44-48, and 60-70) was first evaluated using recombinant TTR in a partially denaturing buffer that promotes amyloidogenesis (pH 4.4, 37° C.). As a follow up, the ability of effective inhibitors to bind to TTR selectively over all the other proteins in human plasma was assessed.
  • TTR amyloid inhibition efficacy was probed using a stagnant fibril formation assay described previously, wherein partial denaturation was triggered by acidification (pH 4.4, 37° C.) (Colon, W.; Kelly, J. W. Biochemistry 1992, 31, 8654-8660). Briefly, a test compound (7.2 or 3.6 ⁇ M) is incubated with TTR (3.6 ⁇ M) for 30 min in pH 7 buffer. Amyloidogenesis is then initiated by lowering to pH 4.4, where maximal fibril formation is observed with WT-TTR after 72 h (37° C.).
  • FIG. 6 (at 7.2 ⁇ M there is enough test compound added to occupy both of the binding sites of TTR (TTR•I 2 ), provided their dissociation constants are both in the low nM range at pH 4.4).
  • Small molecules typically bind to TTR with negative cooperativity, hence K d1 and K d2 are often are separated by one or two orders of magnitude. Therefore, when both the ligand and TTR are at equal concentrations, a population of TTR•I, TTR•I 2 and unliganded TTR is observed, dictated by the dissociation constants.
  • Inhibitor binding selectivity to TTR in human blood plasma was assessed using a previously established antibody capture method (Purkey, H. E.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2001, 98, 5566-5571).
  • inhibitors (10.8 ⁇ M, ⁇ 2-3 ⁇ the natural concentration of TTR) are incubated in human blood plasma for 24 h at 37° C. Quenched sepharose resin is then added to the plasma to remove any small molecules that would bind to the resin as opposed to TTR. TTR and any TTR-bound small molecule is then immunocaptured using a polyclonal TTR antibody covalently attached to sepharose resin.
  • the antibody-TTR complex is dissociated at high pH and analyzed by RP-HPLC.
  • the relative stoichiometry between TTR and inhibitor is then calculated from their HPLC peak areas using standard curves. Wash-associated losses are typically observed for inhibitors that have high dissociation rates; therefore, this analysis can underestimate their true binding stoichiometry, but gives faithful results for compounds exhibiting low dissociation constants and off-rates. Twenty-one inhibitors exhibit a binding stoichiometry exceeding one (two being the maximal binding stoichiometry), nineteen of which exhibit ⁇ 40% fibril formation at a concentration of 3.6 ⁇ M ( FIG. 7 , shaded box).
  • TTR quaternary structure by analytical ultracentrifugation after a preincubation period of 72 h under amyloidogenic conditions (pH 4.4, 37° C.).
  • TTR 3.6 ⁇ mM
  • FIG. 8 sedimentation velocity
  • FIG. 9 equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation
  • TTR tetramer dissociation The ability of these inhibitors to impose kinetic stability on tetrameric TTR is best evaluated by assessing the rate of TTR tetramer dissociation (Hammarstrom, P.; et al. Science 2003, 299, 713-716; Hammarstrom, P.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002, 99, 16427-16432). Under acidic conditions tetramer dissociation leads to amyloidogenesis, whereas in the presence of chaotropes (6M urea), tetramer dissociation leads to monomer unfolding.
  • inhibitors 25, 47 and 64 representing the three structural classes of dibenzofuran-based inhibitors
  • TTR amyloidogenesis mediated by partial acidification is dramatically slowed in a dose-dependent fashion relative to control (no inhibitor) by 25, 47 and 64 ( FIG. 4A ).
  • the rate of TTR tetramer dissociation in 6M urea is easily monitored by linking the slow quaternary structural changes to rapid tertiary structural changes that are easily monitored by spectroscopic methods (Hammarstrom, P.; et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2002, 99, 16427-16432).
  • the pH was then adjusted to 4.4 with addition of 500 ⁇ L of acidic buffer (100 mM acetate, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 4.2), and the final 1 mL solutions were vortexed again and incubated in the dark at 37° C. without agitation.

  • Control samples containing 5 ⁇ L of pure DMSO were prepared and analyzed as above for comparison. Small molecule and TTR control samples were prepared in groups of 10 to prevent disturbance of the cuvettes during incubation. Samples were discarded after their turbidities were measured.
  • urea buffer (6.67 M urea, 50 mM sodium phosphate, 100 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, pH 7.2), and the final 1 mL solutions were vortexed again and incubated in the dark at 25° C. without agitation.
