Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of diseases and conditions characterized by high levels of homocysteine, including hyperhomocysteinemia associated with administration of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway agent.
  • Hyperhomocysteinemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood. Nearly two thirds of hyperhomocysteinemia cases are acquired hyperhomocysteinemia, caused by inadequate levels of vitamins B 6 and B 12 and/or folate (vitamin B9) in the diet. In some cases, high levels of homocysteine in the blood plasma are caused by the hereditary disease homocystinuria.
  • a high level of homocysteine in the blood is a known risk factor for various diseases, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease.
  • cardiovascular cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease.
  • the risk of thrombosis and stroke is increased for patients with hyperhomocysteinemia.
  • homocysteine in degrading and inhibiting the formation of collagen, elastin and proteoglycans, which are essential components for healthy arterial function, leads to the increased cardiovascular risk.
  • hyperhomocysteinemia has been linked to neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, dementia and schizophrenia.
  • neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, dementia and schizophrenia.
  • hyperhomocysteinemia and bone health with higher levels of blood homocysteine increasing the risk of bone fracture in elderly people, thought to arise from inhibition of collagen crosslinking by homocysteine.
  • Hyperhomocysteinemia is diagnosed with a blood test, which detects the level of total plasma homocysteine, i.e., the concentration of homocysteine in its three most commonly occurring forms in the blood plasma: protein (albumin)-bound, free circulating and sulfhydryl.
  • the standard treatment for hyperhomocysteinemia is the administration of supplements containing vitamins B 6 , B9 and B 12 .

  • NPA Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nathwav aeent
  • Active component (k) of the composition is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pathway agent (“NPA”).

  • Administration of an NPA is associated with increased levels of total plasma homocysteine.
  • NAD+ has important functions in cellular bioenergetics and adaptive stress responses. Decreasing NAD+ levels have been associated with metabolism-related diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, muscle atrophy, and age- related conditions. Maintenance of NAD+ levels is especially important for cells with higher energy demands. Therefore, molecules involved in NAD+ biosynthesis and consumption are of particular interest in modulating NAD+ level as a way to combat these diseases and conditions.
  • NAD+ can be synthesized from a variety of sources.
  • Major precursors for NAD+ biosynthesis include, but are not limited to, nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), nicotinamide (NAM), nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, nicotinic acid mononucleotide, and nicotinic acid riboside (NAR).
  • NA nicotinic acid
  • NR nicotinamide riboside
  • NR nicotinamide riboside
  • NR nicotinamide riboside
  • Common food sources for NA include, without limitation, eggs, fish, meat, diary, certain vegetables and whole grains.
  • NR can be found in milk, and NMN in broccoli, avocado, and beef.
  • NAD+ Downstream metabolism of ingested NAD+ can also produce these precursors.
  • NAD+ can be biosynthesized from NA in the Preiss-Handler pathway; or it can be produced from NAM, NR, and NMN in the salvage pathway.
  • NA can be converted to nicotinic acid
  • NAD+ can be further converted to NADPH and NADP, another two major players in metabolism, especially in a multitude of redox reactions.
  • NMN is a direct precursor of NAD+.
  • NR, NAM, and NA need to be converted to NMN in order to produce NAD+.
  • NMN may be a more potent NAD+ modulator compared to the other NAD+ precursors.
  • NMN can make its way through the liver intact and bloodstream into muscle and is metabolized to NAD+ within 30 minutes. Mills et al. (2016) Cell Metab. 24, 795. And NMN was shown to be retained in the body for longer than NAM. Kawamura et al. (2016) J. Nutr. ScL Vitaminol 62, 272.
  • NMN is abundant in certain vegetables and meat, while chemical synthesis is required to obtain large scales of NR, during which toxic organic solvents are commonly used. See e.g.,US2017/0121746. It has been reported that NR, unlike NMN, is unstable under certain conditions and can quickly degrade into NAM in murine plasma or fetal-bovine-serum containing culture medium Ratajczak et al. (2016) Nat. Commun. 7, 13103.

  • the mixtures of two or more NAD pathway molecules may increase NAD levels faster and to higher levels than using single NAD pathway molecule alone (e.g., NR).
  • Some NAD pathway molecules e.g., NA, may have a less pronounced effect on increasing total homocysteine levels than NR. Additionally, NA may raise HDL level and lower LDL and triglyceride levels. NA is also less expensive than NR and easier to produce.

COMPOSITIONS USEFUL IN THE TREATMENT OF
HYPERHOMOCYSTEINEMIA
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/753,599, filed on October 31, 2018, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/819,354, filed on March 15, 2019, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to compositions and methods for the treatment or prevention of diseases and conditions characterized by high levels of homocysteine, including hyperhomocysteinemia associated with administration of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway agent.
BACKGROUND
[0003] Hyperhomocysteinemia is a condition characterized by an abnormally high level of the amino acid homocysteine in the blood. Nearly two thirds of hyperhomocysteinemia cases are acquired hyperhomocysteinemia, caused by inadequate levels of vitamins B6 and B12 and/or folate (vitamin B9) in the diet. In some cases, high levels of homocysteine in the blood plasma are caused by the hereditary disease homocystinuria.
[0004] A high level of homocysteine in the blood is a known risk factor for various diseases, including cardiovascular, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular disease. The risk of thrombosis and stroke is increased for patients with hyperhomocysteinemia. It is thought that the role of homocysteine in degrading and inhibiting the formation of collagen, elastin and proteoglycans, which are essential components for healthy arterial function, leads to the increased cardiovascular risk.
[0005] In addition, hyperhomocysteinemia has been linked to neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment, dementia and schizophrenia. There is also a recognized link between hyperhomocysteinemia and bone health, with higher levels of blood homocysteine increasing the risk of bone fracture in elderly people, thought to arise from inhibition of collagen crosslinking by homocysteine.
[0006] Hyperhomocysteinemia is diagnosed with a blood test, which detects the level of total plasma homocysteine, i.e., the concentration of homocysteine in its three most commonly occurring forms in the blood plasma: protein (albumin)-bound, free circulating and sulfhydryl. At present, the standard treatment for hyperhomocysteinemia is the administration of supplements containing vitamins B6, B9 and B12. We have discovered that administration of nicotinamide riboside causes hyperhomocysteinemia in humans. There is a need for safe and effective alternative treatments of hyperhomocysteinemia, including hyperhomocysteinemia associated with administration of a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway agent (“NPA”), including commonly consumed forms of vitamin B3 such as nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, and/or nicotinamide riboside.
[0007] The disclosures of all publications, patents, patent applications and published patent applications referred to herein are hereby incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

(k) Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nathwav aeent (NPA)
[0188] Active component (k) of the composition is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pathway agent (“NPA”). Exemplary NPAs include NAD+, NADH, NADP, NADPH, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, nicotinic acid mononucleotide, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid (also known as“niacin” or vitamin B3), nicotinamide mononucleotide, nicotinic acid riboside, a salt of any of the foregoing, and mixtures thereof. Administration of an NPA is associated with increased levels of total plasma homocysteine.
[0189] NAD+ has important functions in cellular bioenergetics and adaptive stress responses. Decreasing NAD+ levels have been associated with metabolism-related diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, muscle atrophy, and age- related conditions. Maintenance of NAD+ levels is especially important for cells with higher energy demands. Therefore, molecules involved in NAD+ biosynthesis and consumption are of particular interest in modulating NAD+ level as a way to combat these diseases and conditions.
Figure imgf000051_0001
[0190] NAD+ can be synthesized from a variety of sources. Major precursors for NAD+ biosynthesis include, but are not limited to, nicotinic acid (NA), nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), nicotinamide (NAM), nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, nicotinic acid mononucleotide, and nicotinic acid riboside (NAR). Common food sources for NA include, without limitation, eggs, fish, meat, diary, certain vegetables and whole grains. NR can be found in milk, and NMN in broccoli, avocado, and beef. Downstream metabolism of ingested NAD+ can also produce these precursors. Depending on the bioavailability of these precursors, NAD+ can be biosynthesized from NA in the Preiss-Handler pathway; or it can be produced from NAM, NR, and NMN in the salvage pathway. In the Preiss-Handler pathway, NA can be converted to nicotinic acid
mononucleotide, and then to nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, which can produce NAD+ enzymatically. In the salvage pathway, NR and NAM can be converted to NMN, which can then produce NAD+ enzymatically. Fang et al. (2017) Trends MoL Med. 23, 899. NAR can also be generated from NA through NMN formation and is an integral part of NAD metabolism Kulikova et al. (2015) /. Bio. Chem. 290, 27124. NAD+ can be further converted to NADPH and NADP, another two major players in metabolism, especially in a multitude of redox reactions.
Figure imgf000052_0001
[0191] NMN is a direct precursor of NAD+. In common biosynthesis pathways, NR, NAM, and NA need to be converted to NMN in order to produce NAD+. As such, NMN may be a more potent NAD+ modulator compared to the other NAD+ precursors. After NMN supplementation, NMN can make its way through the liver intact and bloodstream into muscle and is metabolized to NAD+ within 30 minutes. Mills et al. (2016) Cell Metab. 24, 795. And NMN was shown to be retained in the body for longer than NAM. Kawamura et al. (2016) J. Nutr. ScL Vitaminol 62, 272. Additionally, NMN is abundant in certain vegetables and meat, while chemical synthesis is required to obtain large scales of NR, during which toxic organic solvents are commonly used. See e.g.,US2017/0121746. It has been reported that NR, unlike NMN, is unstable under certain conditions and can quickly degrade into NAM in murine plasma or fetal-bovine-serum containing culture medium Ratajczak et al. (2016) Nat. Commun. 7, 13103. As such, there might be potential benefits to use NMN, NA, NAR, NAM, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, nicotinic acid mononucleotide, NAD+/NADH, and NADP/NADPH to modulate NAD+ levels.
[0192] In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises an agent selected from the group consisting of NA, NR, NMN, NAR, NAAD, NAD+ and mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises NR. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) consists of or consists essentially of NR. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises N A and NR. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) consists essentially of NR and NA. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises NA and NMN. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises NR and NMN. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises NA, NR and NMN. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises NR and one or more agents selected from the group consisting of NA, NMN, NAR, NAAD, and NAD+. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) does not comprise NR. In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises one or more agents selected from the group consisting of NA, NMN, NAR, NAAD, and NAD+.
[0193] Without being bound by any theory or hypothesis, the mixtures of two or more NAD pathway molecules (e.g., NR and NA) may increase NAD levels faster and to higher levels than using single NAD pathway molecule alone (e.g., NR). Some NAD pathway molecules, e.g., NA, may have a less pronounced effect on increasing total homocysteine levels than NR. Additionally, NA may raise HDL level and lower LDL and triglyceride levels. NA is also less expensive than NR and easier to produce.
[0194] In some embodiments, the active agent (k) comprises salts of NAD+, NADH, NADP, NADPH, nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide, nicotinic acid mononucleotide, nicotinamide, nicotinic acid, nicotinamide mononucleotide, and/or nicotinic acid riboside. In some embodiments, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
[0195] In some embodiments, the weight ratio between (a) serine and the active agent (k) (e.g., NR, NA, NAR, NAAD, NAD+- and/or NMN) is no more than about any one of 8:1, 7:1, 6:1, 5:1, 4:1, 3:1, 2:1, or 1:1. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between (a) serine and the active agent (k) (e.g., NR, NA, NAR, NAAD, NAD+ and/or NMN) is at least about any one of 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, or 8:1. In some embodiments, the weight ratio between (a) serine and the active agent (k) (e.g., NR, NA, NAR, NAAD, NAD+ and/or NMN) is about 1:1 to about 1:8, for example at least about any one of 1:1-2:1, 2: 1-4:1, 4:1-6:1, 6: 1-8: 1, 2:1- 6:1 , 3:1-5:1, 1:1-4:1 or 4:l-8:l.
[0196] In some embodiments, active agent (k) is at least about 60%, about 65%, about 70%, about 75%, about 80%, about 85%, or about 90% pure. In this context, the % purity excludes the weight of any other active agent and any added counter-ion, vehicle, diluent, excipient, or carrier within active agent (k) or any other component of the composition.
Thus, purity in this context refers to the purity of the NAP per se.

[0393] Eight anti-hyperhomocysteinemia (“anti-HHcy”) compositions were prepared containing the ingredients set out in Table 1 below:
Figure imgf000109_0001
composition set out in Table 1 was produced by weighing out and mixing together one hundred times the quantities from Table 1 (i.e. 200 g serine, etc.). The ingredients were combined and mixed until homogeneous.
[0395] Size 1 capsules were then loaded into an encapsulation tray by separating the two halves of a capsule, placing the bottom half into the tray and placing the top half in the detachable tray. The mixture of active ingredients was poured over the capsules and smoothed flat with a scraper. The powder was compressed and the step of pouring, smoothing and compressing was repeated until no further compression was possible. Once the capsules were full, the top halves of the capsules were attached to the bottom haves by pressing the detachable tray into place. The capsules were removed from the tray and transferred into an airtight bottle.

Example 3 - A case study of anti-HHcy treatment
[0400] This example described a case study of effects of nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinic acid (NA) and anti-HHcy treatments on a healthy subject. A 62-year old healthy Asian male subject without significant medical problems developed elevated homocysteine levels while taking nicotinamide riboside, 500 mg QD. He took no prescription medications and was on low-carbohydrate, low animal-protein diet. His main source of protein was from legumes and nuts. His weight was stable at 180 - 183 lb and his height was 6 ft 0 in (BMI 24.4 - 24.8 kg/m2). FIG. 1 summarizes the treatments received by the subject and his homocysteine levels during the course of die study.
[0401] From March 23 to June 5, the subject received NR at 300 mg and NA at 1000 mg daily. On May 30, the homocysteine level of the subject was elevated at 16 pmole/L. On June 5, the subject started to receive betaine (i.e., trimethylglycine) at 5 grams per day. The homocysteine levels of the subject on June 5, June 8 and June 11 were 16 pmole/L, 14 pmole/L and 12 pmole/L, respectively. FIG. 1 shows the effect of betaine on decreasing the homocysteine level of the subject, which became elevated due to NR and NA treatment. FIG.

[0402] On July 6 (Day 1) of the study, the subject’s baseline serum homocysteine level was normal at 12 pmole/L (Upper Limit of Normal [ULN] 12 pmole/L) and the subject was started on nicotinamide riboside (NIASUN®) 250 mg, two capsules daily by mouth (500 mg per day). The subject tolerated nicotinamide riboside very well without any subjective adverse events. On July 16 (Day 11), repeat serum homocysteine testing revealed that his serum homocysteine level was elevated at 16 pmole/L.
[0403] The subject continued taking the same daily dose of nicotinamide riboside (500 mg PO qd) and on July 18, the homocysteine level was elevated at 17 pmole/L. On July 19 (Day 14), the subject started taking daily doses of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HC1) 75 mg and L- serine, 2 grams in addition to NR at 500 mg/day. On July 24 (Day 19), i.e., within 6 days, his serum homocysteine level decreased by 23.5% to 13 pmole/L. Repeat serum homocysteine testing on July 30 (Day 25) revealed that his serum homocysteine level was again 13 pmole/L. On July 30 (Day 25), the dose of vitamin B6 was increased to 150 mg/day, and the doses for L-serine and NR remained the same. On August 6, the serum homocysteine level of the subject remained at 13 pmole/L.
[0404] On August 7 (Day 33), tire subject started taking vitamin Bn (cyanocobalamin) 0.5 mg and folic acid 0.8 mg daily, in addition to vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HC1) 100 mg, L-serine 2 grams, and nicotinamide riboside 500 mg daily. On August 14 (Day 40), his serum homocysteine level decreased to 12 pmole/L and on August 23 (Day 49), his homocysteine further decreased to 11 pmole/L (ULN 12 pmole/L). On August 24 (Day 50), the subject stopped NR but continued with same doses of other vitamins and serine. On September 12 (Day 69), his serum homocysteine level was unchanged at 11 pmole/L. On September 13 (Day 70), all the vitamins and serine were continued as previously, except vitamin B12 was increased to 3 mg per day. On September 18 (Day 75), his homocysteine level decreased to 9 pmole/L. FIG. 3 shows the effect of serine and vitamin B6 treatment on the homocysteine levels of the subject during concurrent NR treatment.
[0405] On September 27 (Day 84), the homocysteine level of the subject became 11 pmole/L. On September 28 (Day 85), the subject started taking nicotinic acid (NA) 500 mg daily, in addition to vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 3 mg, vitamin B9 (folic acid) 0.8 mg daily, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HQ) 100 mg, and L-serine 2 grams daily. On October 10 (Day 97), the homocysteine level of the subject remained at 11 pmole/L. On October 12 (Day 99), die doses were adjusted as follows: vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 0.5 mg, folic acid 0.8 mg daily, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HQ) 100 mg, L-serine 4 grams, glycine 4 grams, and NA 500 mg daily. ON October 17 (Day 104), the homocysteine level of the subject remained at 11 pmole/L. On October 22 (Day 109), his homocysteine level was 8.8 pmole/L as determined using Quest Diagnostics test. All the other homocysteine level determinations until this point used Any Labs, Inc.’s test. On October 22, 1018 (Day 109), the subject started to receive NR against at 500 mg/day, in addition to vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 0.5 mg, folic acid 0.8 mg daily, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HQ) 100 mg, L-serine 4 grams, glycine 4 grams, and NA 500 mg daily. On November 9 (Day 127), the homocysteine level of the subject increased to 13 pmole/L according to Any Labs’ test. On November 11 (Day 129), the subject’s
homocysteine level was 9.9 pmole/L according to Quest Diagnostics’ test. On November 28 (Day 146), the subject’s homocysteine level decreased to 11 pmole/L according to Any Labs’ test. FIG. 4 shows the effect of the anti-HHcy treatment including serine, vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and vitamin B9 on the subject during concurrent NR, or NR and NA treatment.
[0406] On November 28 (Day 146), the subject started receiving NR 1000 mg, and NA 2000mg, in addition to vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) 0.5 mg, vitamin B9 (folic acid) 0.8 mg daily, vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HQ) 100 mg, L-serine 4 grams, and glycine 4 grams daily. On November 29 (Day 147), the subject’s fasting glucose level rose to 130 mg/dL. On December 7 (Day 155), the subject’s fasting glucose level was 122 mg/dL. The subject then stopped taking all medication. On December 13 (Day 161), the subject’s fasting glucose was 102 mg/dL. Example 4 - Nicotinamide riboside causes elevated serum homocysteine levels
[0407] A 74-year old healthy Caucasian female subject (subject #110) had normal baseline serum homocysteine level at 10.6 pmole/L (Upper Limit of Normal [ULN] 12 pmole/L) on Day 1, and the subject was started on nicotinamide riboside 250 mg, two capsules daily by mouth (500 mg per day). The subject tolerated nicotinamide riboside very well without any subjective adverse events. On Day 21, her serum homocysteine level was elevated at 12.6 pmole/L. The subject continued taking the same daily doses of nicotinamide riboside and on Day 29, her serum homocysteine level was 17.9 pmole/L. Repeat measurement on Day 35 showed that her serum homocysteine level wasl2.8 pmole/L. On Day 37, her serum homocysteine level was 13.5. FIG. 5 shows her serum homocysteine levels over the course of the study.
[0408] A 61 -year old healthy Caucasian male had baseline serum homocysteine level at 1 1.6 pmole/L (Upper Limit of Normal [ULN] 12 pmole/L) on Day 1 and the subject was started on nicotinamide riboside 250 mg, two capsules daily by mouth (500 mg per day). The subject tolerated nicotinamide riboside very well without any subjective adverse events. On Day 20, his serum homocysteine level was elevated at 12.3 pmole/L. On Day 26, his serum homocysteine level was 11.6 pmole/L.
[0409] FIGs. 6 and 7 show elevated homocysteine levels in two of the subjects caused by NR treatment.
