- the present invention provides new treatments of neuronal disorders, based on combinations of QC-inhibitors with at least one other compound selected from the group of PEP-inhibitors, DP IV-inhibitors, NPY-receptor ligands, NPY-agonists, NPY- antagonists and ACE inhibitors.
- the present invention especially provides a new method for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Down Syndrome.
- the N-termini of amyloid ⁇ -peptides deposited in Alzheimer ' s disease and Down syndrome brain bear pyroglutamic acid.
- the pGlu formation is an important event in the development and progression of the disease, since the modified amyloid ⁇ -peptides show an enhanced tendency to ⁇ - amyloid aggregation and toxicity, likely worsening the onset and progression of the disease. (Russo, C. et al. 2002 J Neurochem 82,1480-1489).
- the results are shown in example 8.
- the applied method is described in example 6.
- QC catalyzes the cyclization of glutamine to pyroglutamic acid
- Glutamine is incorporated into the nascent peptide chain of APP, due to a malfunction of an unknown enzymatic activity and subsequently, QC catalyzes the cyclization of N-terminally glutamine to pyroglutamic acid after processing of the amyloid- ⁇ -peptide N-terminus.
- QC is involved in the critical step in all five cases listed above, namely the formation of pyroglutamic acid that favors the aggregation of amyloid ⁇ -peptides.
- an inhibition of QC leads to a prevention of the precipitation of the plaque-forming amyloid- ⁇ - peptides 3-40/42 or amyloid- ⁇ -peptides 11-40/42, causing the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease and Down Syndrome, independently of the mechanism by which cyclization occurs.
- Glutamate is found in positions 3, 11 and 22 of the amyloid ⁇ -peptide.
- the mutation from glutamic acid (E) to glutamine (Q) in position 22 has been described as the so called Dutch type cerebroarterial amyloidosis mutation.
- the ⁇ -amyloid peptides with a pyroglutamic acid residue in position 3, 11 and/or 22 have been described to be more cytotoxic and hydrophobic than the amyloid ⁇ - peptides 1-40(42/43) (Saido T.C. 2000 Medical Hypotheses 54(3): 427-429).
- the present invention it was investigated whether QC is able to recognize and to turnover amyloid- ⁇ derived peptides under mild acidic conditions. Therefore, the peptides Gln 3 -A ⁇ (1-1 1)a, A ⁇ (3-11)a, Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3-11)a, A ⁇ (3-21)a, Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3-21)a and Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3-40) as potential substrates of the enzyme were synthesized and investigated. These sequences were chosen for mimicking natural /V-terminally and C- terminally truncated Glu 3 -A ⁇ peptides and Gln 3 -A ⁇ peptides which could occur due to posttranslational Glu-amidation.
- the ⁇ /-terminal Glu-residue in Glu-containing peptides is predominantly bivalently charged around neutral pH.
- Glutamate exhibits pK a -values of about 4.2 and 7.5 for the ⁇ -carboxylic and for the ⁇ -amino moiety, respectively. I.e. at neutral pH and above, although the ⁇ -amino nitrogen is in part or fully unprotonated and nucleophilic, the ⁇ -carboxylic group is unprotonated, and so exercising no electrophilic carbonyl activity. Hence, intramolecular cyclization is impossible.
- the kinetically determined pK a -value of 7.55 ⁇ 0.02 is in excellent agreement with that of the ⁇ -amino group of Glu- ⁇ NA, determined by titration (7.57 ⁇ 0.05).
- the second-order rate constant (or specificity constant, k cat /Kwi) of the QC-catalyzed glutamate cyclization might be in the range of 8,000fold slower than the one for glutamine cyclization ( Figure 11).
- the nonenzymatic turnover of both model substrates Glu-/3NA and Gln- ⁇ NA is negligible, being conform with the observed negligible pGlu-peptide formation in the present invention.
- an acceleration of at least 10 8 can be estimated from the ratio of the enzymatic versus non-enzymatic rate constants (comparing the second- order rate constants for the enzyme catalysis with the respective nonenzymatic cyclization first-order rate constants the catalytic proficiency factor is 10 9 -10 10 M "1 for the Gin- and the Glu-conversion, respectively).
- the present invention shows that human QC/EC, which is highly abundant in the brain, is a likely catalyst to the formation of the amyloidogenic pGlu-A ⁇ peptides from Glu-A ⁇ and GIn-A ⁇ precursors which make up more than 50% of the plaque deposits found in Alzheimer's Disease.
- amyloid ⁇ - derived peptides are a substrate of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DP IV) or DP IV-like enzymes.
- DP IV or DP IV-like enzymes release a dipeptide from the N-terminus of the modified amyloid ⁇ -peptide (1-11) generating amyloid ⁇ -peptide (3-11) with glutamine as the N- terminal amino acid residue.
- the results are shown in example 7.
- a combination of inhibitors of DP Inactivity and of inhibitors of QC can be used for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and Down Syndrome.
- DP IV and/or DP IV-like enzymes and of QC The combined effect of DP IV and/or DP IV-like enzymes and of QC is illustrated as follows: a) DP IV and/or DP IV-like enzymes cleave amyloid ⁇ -peptide (1-40/42), a dipeptide comprising H-Asp-Ala-OH and amyloid ⁇ - peptide (3- 40/42) are released, b) In a side reaction, QC catalyzes the cyclization of glutamic acid to pyroglutamic acid at very low rates, c) Glutamic acid is converted into glutamine at the N-terminus post- translationally by an unknown enzymatic activity and subsequently, QC catalyzes the cyclization of glutamine into pyroglutamic acid after processing of the amyloid ⁇ -peptide N-terminus, d) Glutamic acid is converted into glutamine post-translationally by a chemical catalysis or autocatalysis and in
- the N-terminal Gin-exposure to QC-activity can be also triggered by different peptidase activities.
- Aminopeptidases can remove sequentially Asp and Ala from the N-terminus of amyloid ⁇ -peptides (1-40/41/43), thus unmasking amino acid three that is prone to cyclization.
- Dipeptidyl peptidases such as DP I, DP II, DP IV, DP 8, DP 9 and DP 10, remove the dipeptide Asp-Ala in one step. Hence, inhibition of aminopeptidase- or dipeptidylpeptidase-activity is useful to prevent the formation of amyloid ⁇ -peptides (3-40/41/43).
- inhibitors of DP IV and/or DP IV-like enzymes and of activity lowering effectors of QC is illustrated in the following way: a) The inhibitors of DP IV and/or DP IV-like enzymes inhibit the conversion of amyloid ⁇ -peptide (1-40/42) to amyloid ⁇ -peptide (3- 40/42). b) An N-terminal exposure of glutamic acid is thereby prevented and no conversion to glutamine, either by enzymatic or by chemical catalysis, subsequently leading to pyroglutamic acid formation, is possible.
- PEP Prolyl endopeptidase
- the present invention comprises the following unexpected findings: 1) PEP is localized to the perinuclear space and to the cytoskeleton of rat primary neuronal and glial cells and human cell lines indicating novel functions for PEP in axonal transport and/or protein secretion.
- the observations according to the present invention indicate that the reported neuroprotective and cognition-enhancing effects of PEP inhibition might be due to increased protein secretion - including ⁇ -amyloid peptides - and are most likely supported by a rise in intracellular IP 3 concentrations.
- a further aspect of the present invention considers inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (ACE).
- ACE inhibitors were shown to increase basal and K + -stimulated brain pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase activity in a dose dependent manner. Because of that, these drugs are able to ameliorate Alzheimer type dementia (ATD) cognitive deficits acting not only facilitating cholinergic transmission but also avoiding the formation of pyroglutamyl-ended amyloid-b-peptides deposition trough the activation of brain pyrrolidone carboxyl peptidase (Ramirez-Exp ⁇ sito et al. (2001), European Neuropsychopharmcology 11 , 381-383).
- ATD Alzheimer type dementia
- a preferred ACE-inhibitor is SDZ ENA 713 (rivastigmine (+)-(S)- ⁇ /-ethyl-3-[(1-dimethylamino)ethyl]- ⁇ /-methylphenylcarbamate hydrogen tartrate.
- pGlu More than 50% of all plaque peptides found in Alzheimer, Down Syndrome, Parkinson and Chorea Huntington patients start with pGlu.
- Such N-terminal pGlu renders the peptides degradation resistent and triggers plaque formation starting with intracellular deposition of, e.g. pGlu-A ⁇ 3-40(42/43), pGlu-A ⁇ 11-40(42/43) and pGlu-A ⁇ 22- 40(42/43) in neuronal cells in the CNS.
- the formation and intracellular deposition of these pGlu-containing peptides can efficiently prevented or decreased by either 1) Inhibition of QC, thereby inhibiting the cyclization of N-terminal glutamine or glutamic acid residues of amyloid ⁇ -peptides; 2) Inhibition of PEP, thereby increasing the amyloid ⁇ -peptide (1-40/42/43) secretion into the extracellular space and thereby preventing QC to act subsequently on on the N-terminally truncated amyloid ⁇ -peptide (3-40/42/43) and amyloid ⁇ -peptide (11-40/42/43); or Administration of ACE inhibitors, thereby inhibiting the formation of pyroglutamyl-ended amyloid ⁇ -peptides; or 4) Simultaneous inhibition of both enzymes, QC and PEP, thereby combining the effects described in 1) and 2).

- APP amyloid precursor protein
- the type I transmembrane APP is the origin of the plaque forming ⁇ -amyloid peptides which contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.
- the APP undergoes different processing pathways.
- the normal cleavage by the alpha-secretase occurs within the ⁇ -amyloid peptide sequence and results in soluble and non-toxic fragments.
- the APP is also hydrolysed by a subsequent action of beta- and gamma-secretases which releases the highly amyloidogenic beta-A4 1-40 or 1-42 peptides.
- BACE1 and BACE2 (Memapsin-2 and -1) were identified which are capable to cleave APP at the beta-secretase site (Vassar R. et al. 1999 Science 286 (5440):735-741 , Acquati F. et al. 2000 FEBS Lett 468 (1):59- 64).

- APP is 50fold better substrate for BACE1 (Grueninger-Leitch F. et al. 2002 J Biol Chem 277 (7):4687-4693).
- cysteine proteases are in discussion as potential candidates for beta site cleavage (Hook V. Y. et al. 2002 J Neurochem. 81 (2):237-256). After release of ⁇ -amyloid peptide (1-40/42) the peptide can be attacked by aminopeptidases or dipeptidyl aminopeptidases resulting in the formation of ⁇ - amyloid peptide (3-40/42) with an N-terminal glutamyl residue.
- N-terminal glutamyl residue of ⁇ -amyloid peptide (3- 40/42) is accepted by glutaminyl cyclase which catalyzes its cyclization producing an N-terminal pyroglutamate residue.
- This pGlu 3 - ⁇ -amyloid peptide (3-40/42) is characterized by an increased proteolytic stability to aminopeptidases and by an enhancement of its amyloidogenic properties.
- ⁇ -amyloid peptides containing an N-terminal isoAsp were indeed determined in the plaques of Alzheimer patients (Shimizu T. et al. 2000 Arch Biochem Biophys 381 (2):225-234).
- Protein isoaspartate carboxymethyl transferase is an enzyme capable to repair the spontaneous formed isoAsp or D-Asp residues inside of an polypeptide chain by methylation of this non-natural amino acids. This methylation results in the rapid formation of a succinimide intermediate which converts by chance either to Asp or isoAsp (Clarke S. 2003 Ageing Res Rev 2 (3):263-285). Repeated action of PIMT finally leads to a complete repair of the IsoAsp containing peptide chain back to the Asp containing peptides (Harigaya Y., T. C. et al. 2000 Biochem Biophys.Res Commun 276 (2):422-427, Russo C. et al. 2002 J Neurochem 82 (6):1480-1489). See scheme 5 for the mechanism of action catalyzed by PIMT.

- APP is cleaved by beta and/or gamma secretase to ⁇ -amyloid peptides (1-40/42).
- the beta secretase cleavage may be enhanced by formation of isoAsp672.
- ⁇ -amyloid peptides (1-40/42) are hydrolysed by, e.g. aminopeptidases (AP) or dipeptidyl peptidases (DP) to ⁇ -amyloid peptides (3-40/42) containing an N-terminal Glu residue which can further be processed by glutaminyl cyclase resulting in the formation of the amyloidogenic pGlu 3 - ⁇ -amyloid peptides (3-40/42).

- the peptides used herein were synthesized with an automated synthesizer SYMPHONY (RAININ) using a modified Fmoc-protocol. Cycles were modified by using double couplings from the 15 th amino acid from the C-terminus of the peptide with fivefold excess of Fmoc-amino acids and coupling reagent.
- the peptide couplings were performed by TBTU/NMM-activation using a 0.23 mmol substituted NovaSyn TGR- resin or the corresponding preloaded Wang-resin at 25 ⁇ mol scale.
- the cleavage from the resin was carried out by a cleavage-cocktail consisting of 94.5 % TFA, 2.5 % water, 2.5 % EDT and 1 % TIS.
- 100 ⁇ l inhibitor stock solution were mixed with 100 ⁇ l buffer (HEPES pH 7.6) and 50 ⁇ l substrate (Gly-Pro-pNA, final concentration 0.4 mM) and preincubated at 30°C. Reaction was started by addition of 20 ⁇ l purified porcine DP IV. Formation of the product pNA was measured at 405 nm over 10 min using the HTS 7000Plus plate reader (Perkin Elmer) and slopes were calculated. The final inhibitor concentrations ranged between 1 mM and 30 nM. For calculation of IC 5 o-values GraFit 4.0.13 (Erithacus Software) was used.
- DP IV activity was measured in the same way as described in example 2 af final substrate concentrations of 0.05, 0.1 , 0.2, and 0.4 mM and further 7 inhibitor concentrations covering the IC 50 concentration. Calculations were performed using the GraFit Software.
- the initial velocities were evaluated and the enzymatic activity was determined from a standard curve of ammonia under assay conditions. All samples were measured at 30°C, using either the SPECTRAFIuor Plus or the Sunrise (both from TECAN) reader for microplates. Kinetic data was evaluated using GraFit software.
- the sample composition was the same as described above, except of the putative inhibitory compound added.
- samples contained 4 mM of the respective inhibitor and a substrate concentration at 1 KM-
- influence of the inhibitor on the auxiliary enzymes was investigated first. In every case, there was no influence on either enzyme detected, thus enabling the reliable determination of the QC inhibition.
- the inhibitory constant was evaluated by fitting the set of progress curves to the general equation for competitive inhibition using GraFit software.
- Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry was carried out using the Hewlett-Packard G2025 LD-TOF System with a linear time of flight analyzer.
- the instrument was equipped with a 337 nm nitrogen laser, a potential acceleration source (5 kV) and a 1.0 m flight tube.
- Detector operation was in the positive-ion mode and signals were recorded and filtered using LeCroy 9350M digital storage oscilloscope linked to a personal computer. Samples (5 ⁇ l) were mixed with equal volumes of the matrix solution.
- DHAP/DAHC prepared by solving 30 mg 2 ' ,6 ' -dihydroxyacetophenone (Aldrich) and 44 mg diammonium hydrogen citrate (Fluka) in 1 ml acetonitrile/0.1% TFA in water (1/1 , v/v). A small volume ( « 1 ⁇ l) of the matrix-analyte-mixture was transferred to a probe tip and immediately evaporated in a vacuum chamber (Hewlett-Packard G2024A sample prep accessory) to ensure rapid and homogeneous sample crystallization.
- a ⁇ -derived peptides were incubated in 100 ⁇ l 0.1 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 5.2 or 0.1 M Bis-Tris buffer, pH 6.5 at 30°C. Peptides were applied in 0.5 mM [A ⁇ (3-11)a] or 0.15 mM [A ⁇ (3-21)a] concentrations, and 0.2 U QC was added all 24 hours.
- the assays contained 1 % DMSO.
- samples were removed from the assay tube, peptides extracted using ZipTips (Millipore) according to the manufacturer ' s recommendations, mixed with matrix solution (1 :1 v/v) and subsequently the mass spectra recorded. Negative controls did either contain no QC or heat deactivated enzyme.
- the sample composition was the same as described above, with exception of the inhibitory compound added (5 mM benzimidazole or 2 mM 1 ,10-phenanthroline).
- the measurements were carried out with two short N-terminal peptide sequences of amyloid ⁇ -peptide(3-40/42), [Gln 3 ]-amyloid ⁇ -peptide(1-11) (sequence: DAQFRHDSGYE) and [Gln 3 ]-amyloid ⁇ -peptide(3-11), which contain a glutamine instead of an glutamic acid residue in the third position.
- Cleavage by DP IV and cyclization of the N-terminal glutamine residue by QC of the two peptides was tested using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Measurements were carried out using purified DP IV (porcine kidney) or crude porcine pituitary homogenate as sources of QC as well as for both enzymes for measurements of consecutive catalysis.
- DPIV or DPIV-like activity is cleaving [Gln 3 ]-amyloid ⁇ -peptide(1-11) under formation of [Gln 3 ]-amyloid ⁇ -peptide(3-11) ( Figure 2).
- the residue in the third position is uncovered by this cleavage and becomes therefore accessible for modification by other enzymes, i.e. QC.
- catalysis can be completely prevented by Val-Pyrr ( Figure 3).
- Formation of [pGlu 3 ]- amyloid ⁇ -peptide(3-11) from [Gln 3 ]-amyloid ⁇ -peptide(3-11) by catalysis of QC in pituitary homogenate and prevention by 1, 10-phenanthroline
- Example 8 Turnover of Gln 3 -A ⁇ peptides 3-1 1a; 3-21 and 3-40 by recombinant human QC All Gln 3 -A ⁇ derived peptides tested were efficiently converted by human QC into the corresponding pyroglutamyl forms (Table 4). Due to the poor solubility of Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3- 21 )a and Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3-40) in aqueous solution, the determinations were carried out in presence of 1% DMSO. The better solubility of Gln 3 -A ⁇ (3-11)a, however, allowed the kinetic analysis of the QC-catalyzed turnover in presence and absence of DMSO (Table 4).
- Example 11 Intracellular distribution of PEP
- PEP was detected by Western blotting analysis using the specific polyclonal antibody PEP-S449 (figure 13A).
- PEP-S449 the specific polyclonal antibody
- FIG. 13B Using an enzymatic assay with the specific substrate Z-Gly-Pro-AMC it was shown, that rat primary neurons exhibited the highest PEP enzymatic activity (figure 13B). Much lower specific activity was detected in primary astrocytes, microglia and oligodendroglial cells (figure 13B).
- the U-343 glioma cells and SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells displayed the highest specific PEP activities, which were about in the range of primary astrocytes (figure 13B).
- a 2.5 to 5-fold lower amount of specific PEP activity was detected in the glioma cell lines LN-405, LNZ-308, T98p31 and U138-MG (figure 13B). Therefore, U-343 as well as SH-SY5Y and - in some instances - LN-405 cells were selected for the subsequent experiments described below.
- the monoclonal PEP antibody 4D4D6 was used. In all cell lines and primary cells investigated, PEP protein was detected. PEP-immunoreactivity was mainly found in the perinuclear space (figure 15A). Additionally, in all LN-405 cells as well as in a significant number of SH-SY5Y and U-343 cells, a typical cytoskeleton-like PEP distribution was observed (figure 15A). Using the human PEP-antisense cell line U-343(as60) and the human glioma cell line T98p31 , the specificity of the used PEP antibody was validated.
- PEP-EGFP fusion proteins were employed.
- PEP wild- type and an inactive PEP-S554A mutant EGFP fusion protein were transformed in U- 343, SH-SY5Y and LN-405 cells.
- the wild-type EGFP-fusion vector pEGFP-N3 was used as control. After 16 hours, in all transformation samples green fluorescent cells were observed. The overexpression of the wild-type EGFP led to a homogeneous staining of the whole cell body, including the nucleus (figure 15B).
- U-343 and LN-405 cells were treated for 24 hours with 5 ⁇ M of the specific PEP inhibitor, Fmoc- AlaPyrr-CN, and than labeled with the monoclonal PEP and tubulin (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany) antibodies.
- the complete inhibition of PEP enzymatic activity did not lead to any change in the tubulin or in the PEP localization pattern compared to non-treated cells.
- Example 13 PEP expression in mouse brain To reveal the distribution and the cellular source of PEP in brain, immunohisto chemical labeling using the monoclonal PEP antibody 4D4D6 was performed in coronal mouse brain sections. PEP was primarily expressed by neurons and detected troughout the mouse brain. PEP-immunoreactivity was present in neuronal cytoplasm and axonal and dendritic processes, closely resembling the subcellular localization of PE ⁇ P in rat primary neurons (figure 19A; compare figure 15A).
- the ⁇ -secretase assay was carried out using the BACE activity assay Kit (Calbiochem Cat.No. 565785) and the fluorescence quenched substrates RE(Edans)EVKMDAEFK(Dabcyl)Ra which corresponds to the wild type sequence of APP; and RE(Edans)EVKMisoDAEFK(Dabcyl)Ra which corresponds to the respective isoAsp form of APP.
- Cell extracts from SY5Y or U344 cells were prepared using the extraction buffer of the kit. Cell extraction and assay procedure were carried out according the manufacturer's protocol except the used substrate (see above).
- Hydrolysis of the substrate was monitored using a GENiusPro fluorescence microplate reader (TECAN) and excitation and emission wavelength of 340 and 495 nm, respectively.
- Activity in RFU/min was calculated by linear regression of the linear part of the time-response-curve.
