Definitions
- the described invention is related to compositions and methods for treating autism and autistic spectrum disorders.
- Autism is the most severe and devastating condition in the broad spectrum of developmental disorders called "pervasive developmental disorders" (Rapin, I., New Engl. J. Med., 337: 97-104 (1997)).
- Autistic disorders are characterized by marked impairment in communication and reciprocal social interaction, social skills, verbal communication, behavior, and cognitive function (Rapin, I. New Engl. J. Med., 337: 97-104 (1997); Lord, C. et al, Neuron, 28, 355-363 (2000)).
- Abnormalities in language development, mental retardation, and epilepsy are frequent problems in the clinical profile of patients with autism.
- the core symptoms of autism include abnormal communication, social relatedness, behavior, and cognition (Rapin, I., N. Engl. J. Med., 337: 97-104 (1997) and Lord, C. et al, Neuron, 28, 355-363 (2000))
- Cytoarchitectural organizational abnormalities of the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, and other subcortical structures are the most prominent neuropathological changes in autism (Kemper, T. and Bauman, M., Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 57, 645- 652 (1998) ; Bailey et al, Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine, 159, 37-44 (1998)).
- An unusual laminar cytoarchitecture with packed small neurons has been described in classical neuropathological studies, but no abnormalities in the external configuration of the cerebral cortex were noted (Kemper, T. and Bauman, M., Journal of Neuropathology & Experimental Neurology, 57, 645-652 (1998)). Cerebellar and brainstem pathology was prominent, with a loss and atrophy of Purkinje cells, predominantly in the posterior lateral neocerebellar cortex.
- autism may represent, in some patients, an immune mediated or autoimmune disorder (Ashwood, P. and Van de Water, J., Autoimmunity Reviews, 3, 557-562 (2004)).
- HLA human leukocyte antigen
- the brain has long been considered an "immune -privileged" organ but this immune status is far from absolute and varies with age and brain region.
- the brain contains immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, which are present in the choroid plexus and meninges.
- Brain parenchymal macrophages known as microglial cells, are more quiescent than other tissue macrophages but can respond to inflammatory stimuli by producing proinflammatory cytokines and prostaglandins.
- both neuronal and non-neuronal brain cells express receptors for these mediators (Dantzer et al, Nat Rev Neurosci., 9: 46-56 (2008)).
- One pathway involves afferent nerves: locally produced cytokines activate primary afferent nerves, such as the vagal nerves during abdominal and visceral infections and the trigeminal nerves during oro-lingual infections.
- TLRs Toll-like receptors
- a third pathway comprises cytokine transporters at the blood-brain barrier.
- a fourth pathway involves IL-1 receptors that are located on perivascular macrophages and endothelial cells of brain venules. Activation of these IL-1 receptors by circulating cytokines results in the local production of prostaglandin E2.
- the brain circuitry that mediates the various behavioral actions of cytokines remains elusive.
- the social withdrawal that characterizes cytokine-induced sickness behavior is unlikely to be mediated by the same brain areas as those underlying other responses to infection, such as reduced food consumption or activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis.
- the site of action of the cytokine message depends on the localization of cytokine receptors or receptors for intermediates such as prostaglandins E2. These cytokine receptors are difficult to visualize on membranes because the number of receptor sites per cell is very low and they are easily internalized.
- IL-1 receptors were first localized in the granule cell layer of the dentate gyrus, the pyramidal cell layer of the hippocampus and the anterior pituitary gland. More recently, they were identified in endothelial cells of brain venules throughout the brain, at a high density in the preoptic and supraoptic areas of the hypothalamus and the sub-fornical organ, and a lower density in the paraventricular hypothalamus, cortex, nucleus of the solitary tract and ventrolateral medulla.
- Cytokines and chemokines play important roles as mediators of inflammatory reactions in the central nervous system (CNS) and in the process of neuronal-neuroglial interactions that modulate the neuroimmune system. Cytokines may contribute to
- cytokines and chemokines in autistic brains by assessing the relative expression of these proteins in tissue homogenates from medial frontal gyrus, anterior cingulate gyrus, and cerebellum of autistic and control patients by using cytokine protein array methodology.
- a statistical analysis of the relative expression of cytokines in autistic and control tissues showed a consistent and significantly higher level of subsets of cytokines in the brains of autistic patients.
- cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), macrophage chemoattractant protein-3 (MCP-3), eotaxin, eotaxin 2, macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), chemokine-P8 (Ckp8.1), neutrophil activating peptide -2 (NAP-2), monokine induced by interferon- ⁇ (MIG) and B-lymphocyte chemoattractant (BLC) (Pardo C. et al., International Review of Psychiatry, 17: 485-495 (2005)).
- IL-6 interleukin-6
- IL-10 interleukin-10
- MCP-3 macrophage chemoattractant protein-3
- MDC macrophage chemoattractant protein-3
- eotaxin eotaxin 2
- MDC macrophage-derived chemokine
- Ckp8.1 neutrophil activating peptide -2
- NAP-2 neutrophil activating
- MCP-1 macrophage chemoattractant protein- 1
- MCP-1 macrophage chemoattractant protein- 1
- MCP-1 is produced by activated and reactive astrocytes, a finding that suggests the effector role of these cells in the disease process in autism.
- TGF- ⁇ Transforming Growth Factor- ⁇
- TGF- ⁇ Transforming Growth Factor- ⁇
- TGF- ⁇ is a key anti -inflammatory cytokine and is involved in tissue remodeling following injury. It can suppress specific immune responses by inhibiting T-cell proliferation and maturation and downregulates MHC class II expression (Letterio, J. and Roberts, A., Annual Review of Immunology, 16, 137-161 (1998)). Cells undergoing cell death have been shown to secrete TGF- ⁇ , possibly to reduce local inflammation and prevent degeneration of additional surrounding cells (Chen et al, Immunity, 14, 715-725 (2001)). TGF- ⁇ is produced mostly by reactive astrocytes and neurons.
- TGF- ⁇ The elevation of TGF- ⁇ in autistic brains suggests that the elevation of this cytokine in autism may reflect an attempt to modulate neuroinflammation or remodel and repair injured tissue.
- a profile of cytokine up-regulation was observed in the anterior cingulate gyrus, a region in which several cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors were elevated markedly when compared to controls.
- Pro-inflammatory cytokines e.g., IL-6
- anti-inflammatory cytokines e.g., IL-10
- subsets of chemokines were elevated in the anterior cingulate gyrus, an important cortical region involved in dysfunctional brain activity in autism.
- Autism Spectrum disorders are a heterogeneous group of neurodevelopmental disorders that manifest during early childhood and are characterized by stereotyped interests and impairments in social interaction and communication (American Psychiatric Association, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders DSM-IV-TR, 4 th ed. American
- a free radical is a highly reactive and usually short-lived molecular fragment with one or more unpaired electrons. Free radicals are highly chemically reactive molecules. Because a free radical needs to extract a second electron from a neighboring molecule to pair its single electron, it often reacts with other molecules, which initiates the formation of many more free radical species in a self-propagating chain reaction. This ability to be self-propagating makes free radicals highly toxic to living organisms.
- ROS Reactive oxygen species
- Oxygen radicals such as the hydroxyl radical (OH ) and the superoxide ion (0 2 ⁇ ), are very powerful oxidizing agents and cause structural damage to proteins, lipids and nucleic acids.
- the free radical superoxide anion a product of normal cellular metabolism, is produced mainly in mitochondria because of incomplete reduction of oxygen.
- the superoxide radical although unreactive compared with many other radicals, can be converted by biological systems into other more reactive species, such as peroxyl (ROO ), alkoxyl (RO ⁇ ), and hydroxyl (OH ) radicals.
- Oxidative injury can lead to widespread biochemical damage within the cell.
- the molecular mechanisms responsible for this damage are complex.
- free radicals can damage intracellular macromolecules, such as nucleic acids (e.g., DNA and RNA), proteins, and lipids.
- Free radical damage to cellular proteins can lead to loss of enzymatic function and cell death.
- Free radical damage to DNA can cause problems in replication or transcription, leading to cell death or uncontrolled cell growth.
- Free radical damage to cell membrane lipids can cause the damaged membranes to lose their ability to transport oxygen, nutrients or water to cells.
- Biological systems protect themselves against the damaging effects of activated species by several means. These include free radical scavengers and chain reaction terminators; "solid-state” defenses, and enzymes, such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, and the glutathione peroxidase system.
- Free radical scavengers/chemical antioxidants such as vitamin C and vitamin E, counteract and minimize free radical damage by donating or providing unpaired electrons to a free radical and converting it to a nonradical form.
- reducing compounds can terminate radical chain reactions and reduce hydroperoxides and epoxides to less reactive derivatives.
- Enzymatic defenses against active free radical species include superoxide dismutase, catalases, and the glutathione reductase/peroxidase system.
- Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is an enzyme that destroys superoxide radicals.
- Catalase a heme-based enzyme which catalyzes the breakdown of hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water, is found in all living cells, especially in the peroxisomes, which, in animal cells, are involved in the oxidation of fatty acids and the synthesis of cholesterol and bile acids.
- Hydrogen peroxide is a byproduct of fatty acid oxidation and is produced by white blood cells to kill bacteria.
- Glutathione a tripeptide composed of glycine, glutamic acid, and cysteine that contains a nucleophilic thiol group
- GSH reduced thiol form
- GSSG oxidized disulfide form
- glutathione acts as a substrate for the enzymes GSH-S-transferase and GSH peroxidase, both of which catalyze reactions for the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds, and for the antioxidation of reactive oxygen species and other free radicals.
- Glutathione detoxifies many highly reactive intermediates produced by cytochrome P450 enzymes in phase I metabolism.
- GSH plays key roles in cellular metabolism and protection against oxidative and other toxic molecules, including those generated in response to attack by cytokines that induce pain and fever.
- Stores of reduced GSH are influenced greatly by nutritional status, presence of certain disease states, and exposures to oxidative stressors and molecules that are detoxified by conjugation with GSH.
- Table 1 shows disease states in which GSH deficiency has been documented. Viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, malnutrition, chronic and acute alcohol consumption, diabetes, certain metabolic diseases, and consumption of oxidative drugs all have been shown to decrease GSH.
- Glutathione reductase (NADPH), a flavoprotein enzyme of the oxidoreductase class, is essential for the maintenance of cellular glutathione in its reduced form (Carlberg and
- GSH GSH
- cysteine a conditionally essential amino acid that must be obtained from dietary sources or by conversion of dietary methionine via the cystathionase pathway in humans. If the supply of cysteine is adequate, normal GSH levels are maintained. But GSH depletion occurs if supplies of cysteine are inadequate to maintain GSH homeostasis in the face of increased GSH consumption. Acute GSH depletion causes severe -often fatal- oxidative and/or alkylation injury, and chronic or slow arising GSH deficiency due to administration of GSH-depleting drugs, such as acetaminophen, or to diseases and conditions that deplete GSH, can be similarly debilitating.
- GSH-depleting drugs such as acetaminophen
- Cysteine is necessary to replenish hepatocellular GSH.
- Glutathione, glutathione monoethyl ester, and L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate (procysteine/OTC) have been used effectively in some studies to replenish GSH.
- procysteine/OTC L-2-oxothiazolidine-4-carboxylate
- dietary methionine and S- adenosylmethionine are an effective source of cysteine.
- NAC N- acetylcysteine
- N-acetylcysteine is an orally bioavailable prodrug of cysteine, which is well known for its role as an antidote against acetaminophen overdose by maintaining or restoring hepatic concentrations of glutathione via replenishing cysteine.
- NAC N-acetylcysteine
- cystine a dimeric amino acid formed by the oxidation of two cysteine residues
- This antiporter allows for the uptake of cystine, which causes the reverse transport of glutamate into the extracellular space.
- cystine decreases the activity of the antiporter, hence reducing the transport of glutamate into the extracellular space leading to a stimulation of the inhibitory metabotropic glutamate receptors (Grant, J. et al., 2009, Arch Gen Psychiatry, 66:756- 763).
- NAC Besides NAC's scavenger function, it is well-known that NAC promotes cellular glutathione production, and thus reduces, or even prevents, oxidant mediated damage. Indeed, treatment with NAC provides beneficial effects in a number of respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, infectious, and other disease settings as described in WO 05/017094, which is incorporated by reference herein. For example, rapid administration of NAC is the standard of care for preventing hepatic injury in acetaminophen overdose. NAC administered intravenously in dogs has been shown to protect against pulmonary oxygen toxicity and against ischemic and reperfusion damage (Gillissen, A., and Nowak, A., Respir. Med.
- NAC N-acetylcysteine
- Glutamic acid decarboxylase an enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of glutamate to GABA, has also been reported to be reduced in parietal and cerebellar cortices of individuals with autism (Fatemi, S. et al, Bio Psychiatry, 52:805-810 (2002)).
- One study has shown a decreased density of GABA-A receptors in the anterior cingulate cortex of adults with autism (Oblak, A. et al., Autism Res. 2:205-219 (2009)).
- defects in neuronal migration and synaptic pruning might be, at least partially, related to a redox imbalance. Differences in allele frequency and/or significant gene interaction were found for relevant genes encoding glutathione-S-transferase, a key enzyme that detoxifies pro-oxidative compounds by coupling them to body's main antioxidant molecule, the tripeptide glutathione or GSH (James, S. et al., Am J Med Genet B Neuropsychiatr Genet., 141B:947-956 (2006)).
- GSH tripeptide glutathione
- Several investigations have shown decreased levels of systemic antioxidant enzymes, such as erythrocyte GSH peroxidase and superoxide dismutase (Yorbick, O.

- reversible inhibitors bind non-covalently and produce different types of inhibition depending on whether these inhibitors bind the target itself, a complex formed by the target and another substance that binds to the target, or both. Inhibitors often are evaluated by their specificity and potency.
- macrophage refers to a type of white blood cell that surrounds and kills microorganisms, removes dead cells, and stimulates the action of other immune system cells.
- a macrophage After digesting a pathogen, a macrophage presents an antigen (a molecule, most often a protein found on the surface of the pathogen, used by the immune system for identification) of the pathogen to the corresponding helper T cell. The presentation is done by integrating it into the cell membrane and displaying it attached to an MHC class II molecule, indicating to other white blood cells that the macrophage is not a pathogen, despite having antigens on its surface.
- the antigen presentation results in the production of antibodies that attach to the antigens of pathogens, making them easier for macrophages to adhere to with their cell membrane and phagocytose.

- Over-the-counter NAC can be variably produced and packaged. Because the production and packaging methods generally do not guard against oxidation, the NAC can be significantly contaminated with bioactive oxidation products. These may be particularly important in view of data indicating that the oxidized form of NAC has effects counter to those reported for NAC and is bioactive at doses roughly 10-100 fold less than NAC (see Samstrand et al J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 288: 1174-84 (1999)).
- the distribution of the oxidation states of NAC as a thiol and disulfide depends on the oxidation/reduction potential.
- the half-cell potential obtained for the NAC thiol/disulfide pair is about +63 mV, indicative of its strong reducing activity among natural compounds (see Noszal et al. J. Med. Chem. 43:2176-2182 (2000)).
- NAC is easily oxidized when exposed to air and an open bottle of capsules is very vulnerable to oxidation. Therefore, in some embodiments of the invention, the preparation and storage of the formulation is performed in such a way that the reduced form of NAC is the primary form administered to the patient. According to some such embodiments, NAC- containing formulations are maintained in solid form.

- the parental preparation may be enclosed in ampoules (or ampules), disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
- Administered intravenously, particular carriers are physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
- the method further comprises monitoring a behavioral measure of the subject receiving the composition, relative to the behavioral measure of the subject prior to treatment.
- the behavioral measure includes, but is not limited to, primary behavioral outcome measures and secondary behavioral outcome measures.
- Primary behavioral outcome measures include, for example, but are not limited to, (a) the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) irritability subscale; and (b) Dosage Record and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (DOTES), which provides information on the presence, frequency and severity of side effects (Guy, W., ECDEU Assessment Manual for
- Secondary behavioral outcome measures include, but are not limited to, (a) the Clinical Global Impression (CGI); (b) ABC-Stereotypy subscale; (c) Repetitive Behavior Scale (RBS); and (d) Social responsiveness scale (SRS).
- CGI Clinical Global Impression
- BRS Repetitive Behavior Scale
- SRS Social responsiveness scale
- the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) is a standardized scale comprising 58 items for assessing problem behavior in subjects with mental retardation and developmental disabilities (Aman, M. et al, Am J Ment Defic. 89,:492-502 (1985)).
- the checklist is empirically derived from ratings on approximately 1000 subjects, and the items resolve into five subscales:
- CGI Clinical Global Impression
- CGI-S Clinical Global Impression-Severity scale
- the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R) (Bodfish et al, The Repetitive Behavior Scale: A test manual (1998)) is an empirically derived clinical rating scale for measuring the presence and severity of a variety of forms of restricted, repetitive behavior that are characteristic of individuals with autism.
- the RBS-R consists of 6 subscales: stereotyped behavior, self-injurious behavior, compulsive behavior, routine behavior, sameness behavior, and restricted behavior.
- the scale provides an overall raw score for severity of repetitive behaviors and separate measures of severity for each subtype of repetitive behavior. High scores indicate more severe behavioral symptoms.
- the Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) (Constantino, J. et al, J Dev Behav Pediatr, 21 :2-11 (2000); Constantino, J. et al, J Autism Dev Disord., 3:427-433 (2003)) is a norm-referenced, 65-item parent report questionnaire developed to measure social behaviors, including social awareness, social information processing, reciprocal social communication, and social anxiety, in both clinical and non-clinical populations. It is designed for use with children ages 4 through 18, and more recently, a special version of the SRS has been developed for preschoolers (Pine, E. et al, Autism, 10:344-352 (2006)).
- the SRS items measure the Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) symptoms in the domains of social awareness, social information processing, reciprocal social communication, social anxiety/avoidance, and stereotypic behavior/restricted interests. Each item is scored from 1 (not true) to 4 (almost always true).
- ASD Autistic Spectrum Disorder
- Scores are obtained for five treatment subscales: Social Awareness (e.g., "Is aware of what others are thinking or feeling”), Social Cognition (e.g., “Doesn't recognize when others are trying to take advantage of him or her"), Social Communication (e.g., "Avoids eye contact or has unusual eye contact”), Social Motivation (e.g., "Would rather be alone than with others”), and Autistic Mannerisms (e.g., "Has an unusually narrow range of interests”).
- the SRS summary score was continuously distributed within each group and minimally correlated with Intelligent Quotient (IQ). High scores indicate more severe behavioral symptoms.
- the behavioral measure is assessed prior to a treatment.
- the behavioral measure is assessed immediately following administration of the composition of the described invention.
- the behavioral measure is assessed at one day, two days, three days, four days, five days, six days, one week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, five weeks, six weeks, seven weeks, eight weeks, nine weeks, ten weeks, eleven weeks, or twelve weeks after administration of the composition of the described invention.
- the behavioral measure is assessed at five months, six months, seven months, eight months, nine months, ten months, eleven months, or one year after administration of the composition.
- Inclusion criteria included were: (a) outpatients between 3 and 12 years of age; (b) males and females who were physically healthy; (c) diagnosis of autism based on DSM-IV-TR criteria, the Autism Diagnostic Interview - Revised (ADI-R) and/or Autism Diagnostics
- ADOS Clinical Global Impressions
- CGI Clinical Global Impressions
- Exclusion criteria included were: (a) DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or psychotic disorder not otherwise specified; (b) prior adequate trial of NAC; (c) active medical problems: unstable seizures, significant physical illness; (d) pregnancy or sexually active females. In addition, (e) subjects taking antioxidant agents and GSH prodrugs were excluded from the study except when they had been off these compounds for at least 4 weeks.
- the stability of the compound was ascertained and the integrity of the active agent was protected by packaging each NAC doses in individual pockets.
- the active compound and matching placebo were provided by BioAdvantex Pharma, Inc. (Mississauga, Ontario, Canada).
- the term "matching placebo” as used herein refers to an inactive substance or preparation used as a control in a clinical to determine the effectiveness of the active agent, NAC.
- Subjects randomized to the active drug were initiated at the dose of 900 mg every day for the first 4 weeks, then 900 mg twice daily for 4 weeks and 900 mg three times daily for 4 weeks. (This dose selection was based on previously published studies for other psychiatric conditions (Grant, J.
- the subjects were initiated at the dose ranging from 900 mg per day to 2,700 mg per day of NAC.
- Time (4-levels: baseline, week 4, week 8, and week 12) and their interaction were covariates.
- the interaction of Treatment Group X Time directly tests the hypothesis by examining whether treatment groups showed a different pattern of change in symptoms across study time points. Significant interactions were followed by independent samples t-tests at each post-baseline time point (Week 4, Week 8, and Week 12) to determine the time of onset of treatment effects.
- Additional mixed effect regression models were computed using other ABC sub-scales, SRS Total and sub-scales, and RBS Total scores as dependent variables. These exploratory analyses examined specific treatment effects for lethargy, stereotypy/repetitive behavior, hyperactivity, inappropriate speech, and social communication behavior. CGI-S and CGI-I scores were also examined in the same manner. All models were fit using an autoregressive covariance structure.
- ABC Aberrant Behavioral Checklist
- CGI Clinical Global
- N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment effect was examined using the observed sample size (29 total; 15 placebo, 14 NAC) and a four time point repeated measures ANOVA model. This model is typically conservative relative to the mixed effects regression models implemented in the present study which incorporate all available data and explicitly model relationships between time points.
- the observed correlations actually tended to be larger (r 0.43-0.86).
- ABC Aberrant Behavioral Checklist
- CGI Clinical Global
- Impression SRS Social Responsiveness Scale
- RBS Repetitive Behavior Scale. Means and standard deviations are derived from all observed data at the respective time points. F-values are derived from the interaction of Participant Group (NAC vs. Placebo) and Time (Week) in mixed effects regression models. Cohen's d was computed based on the standardized mean difference between groups at Week 12. For ABC and CGI-Severity, regression estimated degrees of freedom were 3,66 or 3,67. For CGI-Improvement degrees of freedom were 2,49. For SRS total and RBS total, degrees of freedom were 1,22 and 1,24.
- Figure 2 presents results for the primary outcome measures, ABC-Irritability and
- nausea/vomiting (6 vs. 3), increased appetite (2 vs. 0), diarrhea (3 vs. 1).
- the following AEs were reported more in the placebo group than the NAC group: excitement / agitation (3 vs. 2), increased motor activity (3 vs. 2), nasal congestion (6 vs. 4), decreased appetite (3 vs. 2), tremor (1 vs. 0), sweating (1 vs. 0), syncope / dizziness (1 vs. 0), increased salivation (2 vs. 0).
- One subject in each group reported insomnia and stomachache.
