Description
Verbindung zur Behandlung einer mit einer Desregulierung des alternativen Komplementweges assoziierten Erkrankung A compound for the treatment of a disease associated with a desegregation of the alternative complement pathway
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine neue Verbindung zur Behandlung und/oder Prophylaxe und/oder Diagnose einer Krankheit, die mit einer Deregulierung, vorzugsweise einer fehlregulierten Aktivierung, weiter vorzugsweise einer Hyperaktivierung des alternativen Komplementweges assoziiert ist. Sie betrifft außerdem die Verwendung der neuen Verbindung zur Komplexierung und/oder Isolierung und/oder Lokalisierung und/oder Quantifizierung von proCFD-aktivierenden Verbindungen in/aus einer biologischen Probe. The present invention relates to a novel compound for the treatment and / or prophylaxis and / or diagnosis of a disease associated with a deregulation, preferably a dysregulated activation, more preferably a hyperactivation of the alternative complement pathway. It also relates to the use of the novel compound for complexing and / or isolating and / or localizing and / or quantifying proCFD-activating compounds in / from a biological sample.
Das Komplementsystem ist ein System von Plasmaproteinen, das im Zuge der The complement system is a system of plasma proteins that is used in the course of
Immunantwort aktiviert werden kann. Es ist Teil des angeborenen Immunsystems. Das menschliche Komplementsystem besteht aus mehr als 30 Proteinen, die im Blutplasma gelöst oder zellgebunden vorliegen. Sie dienen der Abwehr von Mikroorganismen, haben jedoch auch stark zellzerstörende Eigenschaften und können, wenn sie unreguliert sind, im Laufe vieler Krankheiten für Gewebeschäden verantwortlich sein. Immune response can be activated. It is part of the innate immune system. The human complement system consists of more than 30 proteins, which are dissolved in the blood plasma or cell-bound. They defend against micro-organisms, but also have strong cell-destroying properties and may, if they are unregulated, be responsible for tissue damage in the course of many diseases.
Man unterscheidet drei Wege, durch die das Komplementsystem aktiviert wird, nämlich den meist über Antikörper induzierten klassischen Weg, den über das Mannose bindende Lektin aktivierten Lektinweg, und den spontanen und Antikörper-unabhängigen alternativen Weg. A distinction is made between three ways by which the complement system is activated, namely the classical pathway that is mostly induced by antibodies, the lectin pathway activated via the mannose-binding lectin, and the spontaneous and antibody-independent alternative route.
Ein Enzym des alternativen Wegs ist der sogenannte Komplementfaktor D (CFD; EC 3.4.21.46), der auch als Adipsin oder C3-Proactivator-Konvertase, bezeichnet wird. CFD ist eine Serinprotease, die vorwiegend im Fettgewebe synthetisiert und in den Blutkreislauf sezerniert wird. CFD lässt sich darüber hinaus in verschiedenen Geweben finden. CFD spaltet den Komplementfaktor B. An alternative pathway enzyme is the so-called complement factor D (CFD; EC 3.4.21.46), also referred to as adipsin or C3-proactivator convertase. CFD is a serine protease that is predominantly synthesized in adipose tissue and secreted into the bloodstream. In addition, CFD can be found in various tissues. CFD cleaves the complement factor B.
Wie bei anderen sezernierten Serinproteasen entsteht CFD aus einer Proteinvorstufe mit einem N-terminalen Signalpeptid. Dieses Signalpeptid wird während des sekretorischen Wegs abgespalten und es entsteht das Enzym als inaktives Proenzym (proCFD) oder
Zymogen. Dieses proCFD wird durch die Abspaltung von sechs N-terminalen Aminosäuren in die reife und aktive Form, d.h. das CFD, überführt. As with other secreted serine proteases, CFD arises from a protein precursor with an N-terminal signal peptide. This signal peptide is cleaved during the secretory pathway and the enzyme is formed as an inactive proenzyme (proCFD) or Zymogen. This proCFD is converted to the mature and active form, ie the CFD, by the removal of six N-terminal amino acids.
Der physiologische Aktivator von proCFD im ruhenden Blut ist weitgehend unbekannt. Ein Kandidat sind die sogenannten Mannose bindenden Lektin-Serin-Peptidasen (MASPs), deren Funktion als Vermittler zwischen dem alternativen und dem Lektinweg hinreichend beschrieben ist. The physiological activator of proCFD in quiescent blood is largely unknown. One candidate is the so-called mannose-binding lectin serine peptidases (MASPs), whose function as mediators between the alternative and the lectin pathway is sufficiently described.
Reifes CFD hat eine einzigartige enge Substratspezifitat, die auf den Komplementfaktor B (CFB) beschränkt ist. CFD weist Elastaseaktivität auf. Die Plasma-Konzentrationen von CFD sind sehr gering und liegen bei 1 -2 μg ml, womit CFD der Komplementfaktor mit der niedrigsten Konzentration ist, deutlich niedriger als die von Komplementfaktor C3, die bei 1 -2 mg/ml liegt, oder von Komplementfaktor B, die bei 200 μg ml liegt. CFD ist deshalb das geschwindigkeitsbestimmende Enzym im alternativen Weg des Komplementsystems. Mature CFD has a unique tight substrate specificity limited to the complement factor B (CFB). CFD has elastase activity. The plasma concentrations of CFD are very low and are at 1 -2 μg ml, making CFD the lowest concentration complement factor, significantly lower than that of complement C3, which is 1-2 mg / ml, or complement factor B , which is 200 μg ml. CFD is therefore the rate-limiting enzyme in the alternative pathway of the complement system.
In jüngster Zeit sind solche Krankheiten in den Mittelpunkt des Interesses gerückt, die über den alternativen Weg des Komplementsystems vermittelt werden. Diese sind zu- sammengefasst in Holers (2008), The Spectrum of Complement Alternative Pathway- Mediated Diseases, Immunological Reviews, Vol. 223, Seiten 300 bis 316. Recently, the focus has shifted to those diseases that are mediated through the alternative pathway of the complement system. These are summarized in Holer's (2008), The Spectrum of Complementary Alternative Pathway-Mediated Diseases, Immunological Reviews, Vol. 223, pages 300-166.

(2014), Adipsin is an adipokine that improves better cell function in diabetes, Cell, 158(1 ): 41 -53, beschreiben einen Zusammenhang zwischen dem alternativen Weg des Komplementsystems und der Entstehung von Diabetes mellitus Typ 2. In einer Subgruppe von untersuchten Patienten wurden erniedrigte Spiegel von CFD nachgewiesen, die mit einem erhöhten Risiko für einen Funktionsausfall der ß-Zellen korrelierten. Lo et al. (2014), Adipsin is an adipokine that better cell function in diabetes, Cell, 158 (1): 41-53, describe a connection between the alternative pathway of the complement system and the development of diabetes mellitus type 2. In a subgroup of studied Patients were found to have decreased levels of CFD, which correlated with an increased risk of functional failure of the β-cells.

[0011] Im Stand der Technik stehen verschiedene Methoden zur Behandlung von Erkrankungen, die durch Veränderungen des alternativen Komplementwegs verursacht werden, zur Verfügung. Dabei kommen vorwiegend Antikörper oder Antikörperfragmente zum Einsatz, die gegen Komplementfaktoren gerichtet sind; vgl. Mamidi et al. (2015), Neutralization of membrane complement regulators improves complement-dependent effector functions of therapeutic anticancer antibodies targeting leukemic cells. Oncoimmunology 4, e979688; Melis et al. (2015), Complement in therapy and disease: Regulating the complement System with antibody-based therapeutics. Various methods of treating diseases caused by alterations of the alternative complement pathway are available in the art. In this case, predominantly antibodies or antibody fragments are used which are directed against complement factors; see. Mamidi et al. (2015), Neutralization of membrane complement regulators, complement-dependent effector functions of therapeutic anticancer antibodies targeting leukemic cells.

Einige der Antikörper werden derzeit in klinischen Studien getestet, wie bspw. Eculizumab, Mubodina, Ergidina, LFG-316, Bikaci- omab und TNT-009. Mol Immune 67, p. 1 17-130; Rogers et al (2014), Complement in monoclonal antibody therapy of Cancer. Immunol Res 59, pp. 203-210. Some of the antibodies are currently being tested in clinical trials, such as eculizumab, Mubodina, Ergidina, LFG-316, Bikacomab and TNT-009.
[0013] Allerdings gehen mit den derzeit verfügbaren therapeutischen Antikörper eine Vielzahl von Nachteilen einher. Diese betreffen z.B. ihre unzureichenden pharmakokinetischen Eigenschaften. Auch die Gewebezugänglichkeit der Antikörper ist bislang stark eingeschränkt. Ferner wurden ungewünschte Interaktionen mit dem Immunsystem beschrieben. Üblicherweise binden die therapeutischen Antikörper einen einzigen Komplementfaktor und richten sich hingegen nicht gegen den biologischen Prozess der Komplementaktivierung, was einen weiteren Nachteil bei der Behandlung der in Rede stehenden Krankheiten darstellen kann. However, there are a number of disadvantages associated with currently available therapeutic antibodies. These concern e.g. their inadequate pharmacokinetic properties. Also, the tissue accessibility of the antibodies has hitherto been severely limited. Furthermore, undesirable interactions with the immune system have been described. Usually, the therapeutic antibodies bind a single complement factor and are not directed against the biological process of complement activation, which may be a further disadvantage in the treatment of the diseases in question.

Er wird derzeit gegen die trockene Form von AMD getestet und befindet sich in der klinischen Phase 3. Dabei hat sich gezeigt, dass Lampalizumab nicht zwischen den aktiven und inaktiven (pro-) Formen von CFD unter-
scheiden kann und folglich beide Formen eliminiert. Dies lässt Experten davon ausgehen, dass der Einsatz von Lampalizumab im Menschen mit einer Vielzahl von Nebenwirkungen assoziiert sein wird. Lampalizumab, Roche / Genentech, is an antigen binding fragment of a humanized monoclonal antibody that binds CFD. He is currently being tested for the dry form of AMD and is in clinical phase 3. It has been shown that lampalizumab does not discriminate between the active and inactive (pro) forms of CFD. and thus eliminates both forms. This suggests that the use of lampalizumab in humans will be associated with a variety of side effects.

Deregulierung des alternativen Komplementweges, die zur Entstehung der eingangs genannten Krankheiten führen kann. Die Verbindung setzt dabei an der Aktivierung von proCFD an und inhibiert die Überführung in reifes CFD. Dadurch wird ausschließlich die Aktivierung, im engeren Sinne die enzymatische Spaltung, von proCFD inhibiert. Somit werden selektiv solche Proteasen inhibiert, die diesen Schritt katalysieren können, wie bspw. Thrombin. Die Inhibition kommt nur dann zustande, wenn das aktivierende Enzym selbst in aktiver Form vorhanden ist. Viele Proteasen werden als inaktives Proenzym sezerniert, wie bspw. Thrombin als Prothrombin, und/oder liegen in einem Komplex mit einem Inhibitor vor, wie bspw. Thrombin mit Antithrombin. Da die Interaktion der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung und der Zielproteasen deren Aktivität voraussetzt, bleibt der inaktive Pool von potenziellen proCFD-Aktivatoren unverändert. Aufgrund dieser hohen Selektivität kann die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung gezielt in krankheitsverursachende Prozesse eingegriffen werden. Das Komplementsystem ist aber weiterhin funktionsfähig und steht zur Fremdabwehr zur Verfügung. Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung weist deshalb ein besonders günstiges Nebenwirkungsprofil auf. Deregulation of the alternative complement pathway, which can lead to the emergence of the aforementioned diseases. The compound initiates the activation of proCFD and inhibits the conversion to mature CFD. As a result, only the activation, in the narrower sense the enzymatic cleavage, of proCFD is inhibited. Thus, such proteases are selectively inhibited that can catalyze this step, such as thrombin. The inhibition occurs only when the activating enzyme itself is present in active form. Many proteases are secreted as an inactive proenzyme, such as thrombin as prothrombin, and / or are in a complex with an inhibitor, such as thrombin with antithrombin. Since the interaction of the compound of the invention and the target proteases requires their activity, the inactive pool of potential proCFD activators remains unchanged. Because of this high selectivity, the compound of the invention can be specifically intervened in disease-causing processes. The complement system is still functional and is available for alien defense. The compound of the invention therefore has a particularly favorable side effect profile.
[0018] Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung stellt deshalb einen vielversprechenden neuen Ansatz zur Behandlung von Erkrankungen dar, die mit der Deregulierung des alternativen Komplementweges assoziiert sind. The compound of the invention therefore represents a promising new approach to the treatment of diseases associated with the deregulation of the alternative complement pathway.
[0019] Das Vorsehen eines detektierbaren Markers führt zum Erhalt einer Verbindung, über die sich die proCFD-Aktivierung sowie die aktivierenden Enzyme mittels bildgebender Verfahren beobachten lassen. Die Verwendung der Verbindung mit einem detektierbaren Marker ist erfindungsgemäß sowohl in vitro als auch in vivo, also im lebenden Organismus, möglich.
[0020] Die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung stellt ferner ein Werkzeug zur Isolierung der proCFD- aktivieren Enzyme dar. Dazu wird die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung nach ausreichender Inkubation in einer biologischen Probe, die proCFD und die aktivierenden Enzyme enthält bzw. enthalten kann, bspw. Blutplasma, aus der Probe entfernt. Dies kann über im Stand der Technik bekannte Verfahren erfolgen, bspw. mittels eines Fängermoleküls, das gegen einen Abschnitt der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung gerichtet ist. Die proCFD- aktivierenden Enzyme liegen dabei im Komplex mit proCFD vor. Sie lassen sich aus dem Komplex entfernen und mittels dem Fachmann bekannter Verfahren untersuchen. So lässt sich auch ein quantitatives Proteaseprofil der biologischen Proben erstellen, das von prognostischem und diagnostischem Wert sein kann. The provision of a detectable marker leads to the obtaining of a compound by means of which the proCFD activation as well as the activating enzymes can be observed by means of imaging methods. The use of the compound with a detectable marker according to the invention is possible both in vitro and in vivo, ie in the living organism. The compound according to the invention furthermore represents a tool for isolating the proCFD-activating enzymes. For this purpose, the compound according to the invention, after sufficient incubation in a biological sample which contains or contains proCFD and the activating enzymes, for example blood plasma, from Sample removed. This can be done by methods known in the art, for example. By means of a catcher molecule, which is directed against a portion of the compound of the invention. The proCFD-activating enzymes are present in complex with proCFD. They can be removed from the complex and investigated by methods known to those skilled in the art. Thus, a quantitative protease profile of the biological samples can be generated, which can be of prognostic and diagnostic value.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the compound developed by the inventors has the following structure:
Mit dieser Verbindung, stellvertretend für sämtliche unter die allgemeine With this connection, representing all under the general
erfindungsgemäße Struktur fallenden Verbindungen, haben die Erfinder ihre Experimente durchgeführt. Sie konnten feststellen, dass sich diese Verbindung hervorragend zur Regulierung und insbesondere Inhibierung der proCFD-Aktivierung eignet. Über den am einen (hier: linken) Ende vorgesehenen Biotinrest lässt sich die Verbindung sowohl in vitro als auch in vivo in der biologischen Probe gut detektieren. According to the structure of the invention, the inventors have carried out their experiments. They found that this compound is well suited for the regulation and in particular inhibition of proCFD activation. By means of the biotin residue provided at one end (here: left), the compound can be well detected both in vitro and in vivo in the biological sample.
Ein weiterer Gegenstand der vorliegenden Erfindung betrifft die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung bzw. deren Verwendung zur Behandlung und/oder Prophylaxe und/oder Diagnose einer Krankheit, die mit einer Deregulierung, vorzugsweise einer fehlregulierten Aktivierung, weiter vorzugsweise einer Hyperaktivierung des alternativen Komplementweges assoziiert ist. Another object of the present invention relates to the compound of the invention or its use for the treatment and / or prophylaxis and / or diagnosis of a disease associated with a deregulation, preferably a dysregulated activation, more preferably a hyperactivation of the alternative complement pathway.
Die Erfinder haben festgestellt, dass die Verbindung sowohl zur Behandlung also auch zur Prophylaxe sowie Diagnose geeignet ist. Dabei interagiert die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung mit den proCFD-aktivierenden Enzymen und - vorzugsweise - inhibiert diese. Im Gegensatz zu den im Stand der Technik bekannten Verbindungen, die lediglich mit einem einzigen Komplementfaktor interagieren, interagiert bzw. vorzugsweise inhibiert die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung das Prozessieren von proCFD auf mechanistische Art und Weise. Dies ist deshalb von Vorteil, da zu vermuten ist, dass proCFD nicht nur durch einen einzelnen Komplementfaktor oder ein einzelnes Enzym aktiviert wird sondern durch verschiedene Faktoren und über verschiedene Wege. Nach Erkenntnissen der Erfinder kann die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung mit mehreren oder ggf. allen proCFD- aktivierenden Enzymen interagieren und diese vorzugsweise hemmen.
Erfindungsgemäß wird unter "Deregulierung" eine Fehlregulierung der Kaskade des alternativen Komplementwegs verstanden. Unter "fehlregulierter Aktivierung" wird eine gestörte Aktivierung des alternativen Komplementwegs, insbesondere eine gestörte Aktivierung von proCFD in CFD, verstanden. Unter "Hyperaktivierung" wird erfindungsgemäß eine über den Normalzustand hinausgehende Aktivierung des alternativen Komplementwegs verstanden. The inventors have found that the compound is suitable both for the treatment and for the prophylaxis and diagnosis. In this case, the compound of the invention interacts with the proCFD-activating enzymes and - preferably - inhibits them. In contrast to the prior art compounds which interact with only a single complement factor, the compound of the invention interacts or preferably inhibits the processing of proCFD in a mechanistic manner. This is advantageous since it is to be expected that proCFD will be activated not only by a single complement factor or a single enzyme but by various factors and by different pathways. According to the inventors, the compound according to the invention can interact with, and preferably inhibit, several or possibly all proCFD-activating enzymes. According to the invention, "deregulation" is understood to mean a dysregulation of the cascade of the alternative complement pathway. By "dysregulated activation" is meant an impaired activation of the alternative complement pathway, in particular a disturbed activation of proCFD in CFD. By "hyperactivation" is meant, according to the invention, an activation of the alternative complement path that goes beyond the normal state.

Fig. 1 : Chemische Struktur eines erfindungsgemäßen Beispiels für eine aktivitäts- basierenden Sonde, ausgerichtet auf den/die Aktivator(en) von proCFD. FIG. 1: Chemical structure of an example of an activity-based probe according to the invention, oriented on the activator (s) of proCFD.
Fig. 2: Das inaktive Proenzym des humanen Komplementfaktors D (proCFD) wird durch die Abspaltung der sechs N-terminalen Aminosäuren aktiviert. Mehrere Serinproteasen sind in der Lage, diesen Schritt in vitro zu katalysieren. Der Unterschied in den isoelektrischen Punkten der aktiven gegenüber inaktiven Formen ermöglicht die Detektion des Aktivierungsprozesses mit Hilfe der isoelektrischen Fokussierung. Inaktiver proCFD wurde mit humanem Blutplasma inkubiert. Der physiologische Aktivator liegt im Plasma vor, daher wird proCFD schnell aktiviert (Spur # 6, siehe die Bande in Richtung der Anode (+)). In Gegenwart der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung in unterschiedlichen Konzentrationen (Spuren # 2-5, jeweils 1 ,6 mM, 0,16 mM, 0,016 mM, 0,0016 mM) ist die Aktivierung von proCFD vollständig blockiert.
Die Sonde wurde in DMSO gelöst eingesetzt, dennoch hat dieses Lösungsmittel allein keine Wirkung auf die Aktivierung von proCFD (Spur # 1 ). FIG. 2: The inactive proenzyme of the human complement factor D (proCFD) is activated by the cleavage of the six N-terminal amino acids. Several serine proteases are able to catalyze this step in vitro. The difference in the isoelectric points of the active versus inactive forms allows the detection of the activation process by means of isoelectric focusing. Inactive proCFD was incubated with human blood plasma. The physiological activator is present in the plasma, therefore proCFD is activated rapidly (lane # 6, see the band towards the anode (+)). In the presence of the compound of the invention at different concentrations (lanes # 2-5, 1, 6mM, 0.16mM, 0.016mM, 0.0016mM, respectively), activation of proCFD is completely blocked. The probe was used dissolved in DMSO, yet this solvent alone has no effect on the activation of proCFD (lane # 1).

Es weist ein Zielfindungselement auf, das der Sequenz des N-terminalen Pro-Peptids (APPRGR) von CFD entspricht. Kürzere Fragmente, bspw. PRGR, haben sich als ausreichend herausgestellt, um eine vollständige Inhibierung der/des proCFD-Aktivator(en/s) zu erreichen. which is aligned with the activator (s) of proCFD. The empirical formula is C 5 4H82N 15 0iiPS. The molecular weight is 1 179.5777 daltons. It has a targeting element that corresponds to the sequence of the N-terminal pro-peptide (APPRGR) of CFD. Shorter fragments, such as PRGR, have been found to be sufficient to achieve complete inhibition of the proCFD activator (s).
[0055] Das C-terminale Arginin (R) wurde durch eine funktionale Gruppe ersetzt, die häufig als The C-terminal arginine (R) has been replaced by a functional group often referred to as

Es ist ferner möglich, die Menge des gebundenen Proteins mittels standardisierter biochemischer Methoden zu identifizieren und quantifizieren.

2. Hemmung der Aktivierung von proCFD in CFD durch die erfindungsgemäße 2. Inhibition of the activation of proCFD in CFD by the invention
Verbindung connection
[0057] Durch transiente Transfektion von adhärent wachsenden HEK-293 Zellen (menschliche embryonale Nierenzellen) wurde proCFD gewonnen. 20 μΙ EDTA-Plasma von gesunden Blutspendern wurden mit 1 μΙ der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung in unterschiedlichen
Konzentrationen (1 ,6 mM, 0,16 mM, 0,016 mM, 0,0016 mM) für 10 Minuten bei 37 °C vorinkubiert, dann zu proCFD gegeben und weitere 6 Stunden inkubiert. Die Umsetzung wurde durch Acetonfällung gestoppt und die Aktivierung von proCFD mittels isoelektrischer Fokussierung und anschließender Detektion auf einem Immunoblot mit Hilfe eines CFD-Antikörpers visualisiert; siehe Fig. 2. Diese Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die erfindungsgemäße Verbindung die vorhandene Aktivität von proCFD-Aktivator(en) im Plasma während der Vorinkubation vollkommen blockiert hatte, so konnte die Katalyse nicht stattfinden. Bei der nur mit Lösungsmittel (DMSO) vorgenommenen Kontrolle wurde proCFD effizient aktiviert, so dass der Effekt der erfindungsgemäßen Verbindung eindeutig auf die Hemmung der Aktivasen zurückgeführt wird. By transient transfection of adherently growing HEK-293 cells (human embryonic kidney cells) proCFD was recovered. 20 μM EDTA plasma from healthy blood donors were mixed with 1 μΙ of the compound of the invention in different Concentrations (1, 6 mM, 0.16 mM, 0.016 mM, 0.0016 mM) preincubated for 10 minutes at 37 ° C, then added to proCFD and incubated for a further 6 hours. The reaction was stopped by acetone precipitation and the activation of proCFD visualized by means of isoelectric focusing and subsequent detection on an immunoblot using a CFD antibody; see Figure 2. These results show that the compound of the present invention had completely blocked the presence of plasma proCFD activator (s) during preincubation, so catalysis could not occur. In the control carried out only with solvent (DMSO), proCFD was efficiently activated, so that the effect of the compound according to the invention is clearly attributed to the inhibition of the activases.
