Description

ENaC活性化能を有する化合物Compound having ENaC activating ability
 本発明は、上皮性Na+チャンネルhENaC αβγの活性化剤、及び、これを含有する疾患等の治療剤並びに塩味増強剤に関する。 The present invention relates to an activator of epithelial Na + channel hENaC αβγ, a therapeutic agent for diseases and the like containing the same, and a salty taste enhancer.
 上皮性ナトリウムチャンネル(epithelial sodium channel ENaC)は、ENaC / degenerinファミリーに属する非電位依存性のNaイオンチャネルである(非特許文献1)。 Epithelial sodium channel ENaC is a non-voltage-dependent Na ion channel belonging to the ENaC / degenerin family (Non-Patent Document 1).
 ENaCを構成する各々のサブユニットは二回膜貫通領域を持ち、αβγもしくはδβγの三量体で機能する。ENaCαβγは、主に胃、腎臓、結腸に発現し、ENaCδβγは、主に大脳皮質や小脳、海馬などの神経組織や精巣で発現する(非特許文献2-4)。また、舌ではENaC αβγが、鼓索神経が投射する前方部に発現し、低濃度の塩味受容(<150 mM NaCl)に関与する(非特許文献5)。また塩味増強効果及び、塩味阻害効果を示す根拠の1つとしてhumanENaC(hENaC) αβγを活性化または、阻害する現象が広く用いられている(先行特許文献1-5)。 Each subunit constituting ENaC has a double transmembrane domain and functions as an αβγ or δβγ trimer. ENaCαβγ is mainly expressed in the stomach, kidney and colon, and ENaCδβγ is mainly expressed in nervous tissues such as cerebral cortex, cerebellum, hippocampus and testis (Non-patent Documents 2-4). In the tongue, ENaC αβγ is expressed in the anterior part where the chorda tympani nerve projects, and is involved in low-concentration salty taste reception (<150 mM NaCl) (Non-Patent Document 5). Further, as one of the grounds for exhibiting the salty taste enhancing effect and the salty taste inhibiting effect, the phenomenon of activating or inhibiting humanENaC (hENaC) Δαβγ is widely used (prior patent documents 1-5).
 医薬分野では、hENaC αβγの遺伝的変異による疾患として、高Na+血症や腎疾患、リルド症候群等が挙げられる。これらの治療としてhENaCαβγの阻害剤であるアミロライドなどの使用が挙げられる(非特許文献6、7) In the field of medicine, diseases caused by genetic mutation of hENaC αβγ include hyperna + bloodemia, kidney disease, Lildo syndrome, and the like. These treatments include the use of hENaCαβγ inhibitors amiloride and the like (Non-Patent Documents 6, 7)
 一方で偽性アルドステロン症1型や新生児呼吸窮迫症候群の治療には、hENaC αβγを活性化させる活性化剤が考えられる。化合物S3969は、hENaC αβγ活性化剤(アクチベーター)として知られており、上記の疾患の治療薬として期待されている(非特許文献6)。 On the other hand, activators that activate hENaC αβγ can be considered for the treatment of pseudoaldosteronism type 1 and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Compound S3969 is known as a hENaChαβγ activator (activator), and is expected as a therapeutic agent for the above-mentioned diseases (Non-Patent Document 6).
 しかしながら、S3969を除いてhENaCαβγを活性化させる小分子の報告例はない。 However, there are no reports of small molecules that activate hENaCαβγ except for S3969.
S3969の構造からインドール環がhENaCを活性化させる1つの部分構造であると考えられているが、インドール環を除くhENaC活性化能を持つ部分構造に関する報告例はない。 From the structure of S3969, the indole ring is considered to be one partial structure that activates hENaC, but there is no report on a partial structure capable of activating hENaC except for the indole ring.
 そこで、hENaC αβγを活性化させる小分子や部分構造を探索、開発することで、hENaC αβγ活性化剤(アクチベーター)が、hENaC αβγが関連する遺伝的疾患を緩和するばかりでなく、口腔内の塩味受容を修飾し、呈味性を大きく向上させることが期待されている。
Therefore, by searching for and developing small molecules and partial structures that activate hENaC αβγ, hENaC αβγ activators (activators) not only alleviate the genetic diseases associated with hENaC αβγ, but also It is expected to modify salty taste reception and greatly improve taste.

Cell-based assay using FlexStation 3 FlexStation 3 (Molecular Devices) is a plate reader with a dispensing function. Using this, a ligand solution was administered to cells loaded with a membrane potential-sensitive dye, and the change over time in the fluorescence intensity was measured.

前述のFlexStation 3によって得られた蛍光の経時的変化から、リガンド溶液投与後後、100秒時点での蛍光強度の値と計測開始時点での値の差分を算出してこれを細胞の応答値と定義した。また必要な場合は、対照として計測した1μMのS3969の細胞の応答値を1としたときの相対応答値として、すべての細胞の応答値を換算した。評価スコア0.18以上を活性ありとした。評価方法の模式図を図2に示す。尚、本評価方法は、特開2017-217005と同様に記載されているものと同様の方法である。
<Evaluation method>
From the time-dependent change in fluorescence obtained by the above-mentioned FlexStation 3, the difference between the value of the fluorescence intensity at 100 seconds after administration of the ligand solution and the value at the start of measurement was calculated, and this was used as the response value of the cell. Defined. If necessary, the response values of all cells were converted as relative response values when the response value of 1 μM S3969 cells measured as a control was set to 1. An evaluation score of 0.18 or more was determined to be active. FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the evaluation method. This evaluation method is the same method as described in JP-A-2017-217005.
