  • the pumping activity and morphological structure of the heart are regulated by various neurohumoral factors.
  • the cells that make up the heart maintain cardiac homeostasis by sensing these neurohumoral factors on their cell membranes and transmitting appropriate signals within the cells.
  • Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis that occur with the onset and progression of heart failure are caused by Ca 2+ signaling, especially Ca 2+
  • the influx of Ca 2+ from outside the cell into the cell is deeply involved in the induction of expression of genes related to hypertrophy, and transient Ca 2+ influx is attracting attention as a molecular entity responsible for receptor-mediated Ca 2+ influx.

  • TRPC1-TRPC7 There are seven isoforms (TRPC1-TRPC7) of animal TRPC channels, and among them, lipid (diacylglycerol)-operated TRPC3 and TRPC6 channels are important for cardiac remodeling, including the results of the present applicant. There have been many reports. In fact, it has been demonstrated at the animal level that compounds that inhibit TRPC3/C6 channel activity improve pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, suggesting their effectiveness as therapeutic targets (Non-patent Documents 1-7 ). Further, Patent Document 1 describes a benzisoxazole compound that modulates or inhibits the activity of TRPC3 channel or TRPC6 channel, and mentions cardiac hypertrophy as a TRPC3 and/or TRPC6-related disease. Substances that activate the channels are not described. In any case, the physiological role of TRPC3/6 channels in regulating cardiac function is not well understood.

Description

TRPC3/6/7チャネル活性化による強心作用を介した心不全治療Heart failure treatment via inotropic effect by TRPC3/6/7 channel activation

 本発明は一般に、TRPC3/6/7チャネル活性化物質の新たな用途に関する。本発明は詳細には、TRPC3/6/7チャネル活性化物質を含有する医薬組成物、具体的には心不全または骨格筋不全を予防および/または処置するための医薬組成物、および心不全または骨格筋不全を予防および/または処置するための物質をスクリーニングする方法に関する。 The present invention generally relates to new uses for TRPC3/6/7 channel activators. The present invention particularly relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing TRPC3/6/7 channel activators, specifically pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and/or treating heart failure or skeletal muscle failure, and The present invention relates to a method for screening substances for preventing and/or treating disorders.
 近年、社会の高齢化に伴って心不全が世界中で増加しており、「心不全パンデミック」と呼ぶべき事態が進行している。現在、世界の心不全患者数は3,000万人に達する勢いであり、その数は今後ますます増加し、病床を逼迫する可能性が懸念されている。心不全は一度発症すると、完治することなく急性増悪(急性心不全)と緩解を繰り返しながら徐々に心機能を低下し(慢性心不全)、やがて治療抵抗性心不全となり、死に至るという予後不良な病態である。心不全における治療に関しては、急性心不全と慢性心不全ではその方針、治療法がしばしば異なることがよく知られている。慢性心不全に対しては神経体液性因子の過剰な活性化が心負荷につながっているとの考えから心負荷を軽減する、神経体液性因子の遮断薬がその病態悪化やそれにより死亡を抑制することが示されている。一方、急性心不全ではまずは救命を優先し、血行動態の適正化を図ることが優先されるが、しばしば慢性心不全の治療方針とは相反する治療法を行わざるを得ないことも多く、現在までに急性心不全の治療薬として心不全の慢性期予後を改善する薬剤は存在せず、新規作用機序に基づく急性心不全治療薬が求められている。 In recent years, heart failure has been increasing around the world as society ages, and a situation that can be called a "heart failure pandemic" is progressing. Currently, the number of heart failure patients worldwide is on track to reach 30 million, and there are concerns that this number will continue to increase, leading to a shortage of hospital beds. Once developed, heart failure is a pathological condition with a poor prognosis, with no complete recovery, and a gradual decline in heart function (chronic heart failure) through repeated periods of acute exacerbation (acute heart failure) and remission (chronic heart failure), eventually leading to treatment-resistant heart failure and death. Regarding the treatment of heart failure, it is well known that the policies and treatments for acute heart failure and chronic heart failure often differ. In chronic heart failure, it is believed that excessive activation of neurohumoral factors is linked to cardiac stress, so neurohumoral factor blockers, which reduce cardiac stress, can suppress the deterioration of the condition and thereby death. It has been shown that On the other hand, in the case of acute heart failure, the first priority is to save life and optimize hemodynamics, but it is often necessary to perform treatment methods that conflict with the treatment policy for chronic heart failure. As a therapeutic agent for acute heart failure, there is no drug that improves the prognosis of the chronic phase of heart failure, and there is a need for a therapeutic agent for acute heart failure based on a new mechanism of action.
 心臓のポンプ活動や形態構造は、様々な神経体液性因子によって調節されている。心臓を構成する細胞は、これら神経体液性因子を細胞膜上で感知し、細胞内に適切なシグナルを伝達させることで心機能恒常性を維持している。心不全の発症・進展に伴って起こる心筋細胞の肥大や間質の線維化には、アンジオテンシンIIやエンドセリン1などホスホリパーゼCと連関した受容体の活性化を介するCa2+シグナル伝達、中でもCa2+依存性肥大関連遺伝子の発現誘導に関わる細胞外から細胞内へのCa2+流入が深く関わっており、受容体作動性のCa2+流入を担う分子実体として注目されているのがトランジエント・レセプター・ポテンシャル・カノニカル(transient receptor potential canonical:TRPC)タンパク質である。動物TRPCチャネルには7つのアイソフォーム(TRPC1-TRPC7)が存在し、中でも脂質(ジアシルグリセロール)作動性のTRPC3とTRPC6チャネルが心臓リモデリング形成に重要であることが、本出願人の成果も含めて、数多く報告されてきた。実際に、TRPC3/C6チャネル活性を阻害する化合物が病的心肥大や心不全を改善することも動物レベルで実証されており、治療標的としての有効性が示唆されている(非特許文献1-7)。また、特許文献1には、TRPC3チャネルまたはTRPC6チャネルの活性を調節または阻害するベンゾイソオキサゾール化合物が記載され、TRPC3および/またはTRPC6関連疾患として心肥大が挙げられているが、TRPC3/6/7チャネルを活性化する物質については記載されていない。いずれにせよ、心機能調節におけるTRPC3/6チャネルの生理的役割についてはよく理解できていない状況である。 The pumping activity and morphological structure of the heart are regulated by various neurohumoral factors. The cells that make up the heart maintain cardiac homeostasis by sensing these neurohumoral factors on their cell membranes and transmitting appropriate signals within the cells. Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and interstitial fibrosis that occur with the onset and progression of heart failure are caused by Ca 2+ signaling, especially Ca 2+ The influx of Ca 2+ from outside the cell into the cell is deeply involved in the induction of expression of genes related to hypertrophy, and transient Ca 2+ influx is attracting attention as a molecular entity responsible for receptor-mediated Ca 2+ influx. It is a receptor potential canonical (TRPC) protein. There are seven isoforms (TRPC1-TRPC7) of animal TRPC channels, and among them, lipid (diacylglycerol)-operated TRPC3 and TRPC6 channels are important for cardiac remodeling, including the results of the present applicant. There have been many reports. In fact, it has been demonstrated at the animal level that compounds that inhibit TRPC3/C6 channel activity improve pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, suggesting their effectiveness as therapeutic targets (Non-patent Documents 1-7 ). Further, Patent Document 1 describes a benzisoxazole compound that modulates or inhibits the activity of TRPC3 channel or TRPC6 channel, and mentions cardiac hypertrophy as a TRPC3 and/or TRPC6-related disease. Substances that activate the channels are not described. In any case, the physiological role of TRPC3/6 channels in regulating cardiac function is not well understood.

 上記の通り、予後不良な病態である心不全を治療する治療薬は長年にわたり、臨床上、処方されているが、その多くは降圧作用を持つことや、急性心不全や慢性心不全の急性増悪に対する有効な治療をもたらさない。このことから、より有効な強心薬の開発が求められている。 As mentioned above, therapeutic drugs to treat heart failure, a condition with a poor prognosis, have been clinically prescribed for many years, but many of them have antihypertensive effects and are effective against acute heart failure and acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure. Does not provide treatment. For this reason, there is a need for the development of more effective cardiotonic drugs.
 本発明者らは、TRPC6遺伝子欠損マウスが心不全に対して脆弱な傾向を示すこと、すなわちTRPC6欠損マウスの心臓が高血圧負荷に適応できていないことに注目し、TRPC3/6/7チャネルを活性化する物質の病態への応用を試みた。種々の動物実験により、異なる心不全モデル、異なるマウス系統種であっても、TRPC3/6/7チャネルを活性化する物質が同じように心不全保護効果があることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。 The present inventors focused on the tendency of TRPC6 gene-deficient mice to be vulnerable to heart failure, that is, the heart of TRPC6-deficient mice was unable to adapt to high blood pressure load, and activated TRPC3/6/7 channels. We attempted to apply substances that cause disease to pathological conditions. Through various animal experiments, we discovered that substances that activate TRPC3/6/7 channels have the same protective effect on heart failure even in different heart failure models and different mouse strains, and have completed the present invention.

<医薬組成物>
 本発明はひとつの形態において、受容体作動性TRPC3/6/7チャネルの活性化を促す低分子化合物が、降圧作用を持たずに急性心不全や慢性心不全の急性増悪に有効な治療薬となることを示す用途発明である。心不全の状態は、心臓から血液を送り出す力が元来、弱くなっているため、血圧が上がりにくい状態にある。ここに降圧作用が加わると慢性低血圧状態となり、血圧を上げようとする代償機構、すなわち交感神経活動の亢進が働く。これが結果的に、慢性心不全を悪化させる原因になるため、降圧作用を有さない点は、本発明の大きな利点である。
 本発明は、その実施態様において、TRPC3/6/7チャネル活性化物質、具体的にはピペラジン誘導体(PPZ)を含有する、心不全または骨格筋不全を予防および/または処置するための医薬組成物を提供する。
<Pharmaceutical composition>
In one form, the present invention provides that a low-molecular compound that promotes activation of receptor-operated TRPC3/6/7 channels becomes an effective therapeutic agent for acute heart failure or acute exacerbation of chronic heart failure without having a hypotensive effect. This is a use invention showing the following. In a state of heart failure, the ability of the heart to pump blood is originally weakened, making it difficult for blood pressure to rise. When antihypertensive effects are added here, a state of chronic hypotension occurs, and a compensatory mechanism that attempts to raise blood pressure, ie, an increase in sympathetic nerve activity, comes into play. This ultimately causes worsening of chronic heart failure, so the fact that it does not have a hypotensive effect is a major advantage of the present invention.
In its embodiments, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating heart failure or skeletal muscle failure, containing a TRPC3/6/7 channel activator, specifically a piperazine derivative (PPZ). provide.
 本発明者らは、TRPC6遺伝子欠損マウスが心不全に対して脆弱な傾向を示すこと、すなわちTRPC6欠損マウスの心臓が高血圧負荷に対して酸化ストレスや炎症増加を起こし易く、高血圧負荷に適応できていないことに注目した。交感神経終末から放出されるノルアドレナリンは、心臓のポンプ機能を増強させる主要な神経伝達物質であり、特に急な血圧低下に対する代償的な心機能亢進(圧受容反射)に重要な役割を果たしている。ノルアドレナリンは、心筋細胞膜上のβアドレナリン受容体を活性化することで、心筋細胞の収縮や拍動数の上昇を引き起こす。心不全時には血中ノルアドレナリン濃度が上昇するにも関わらず、ポンプ機能が十分に働かなくなっており、この原因として、βアドレナリン受容体数の脱感作や受容体数低下が指摘されている。TRPC6欠損マウスでは、野生型マウスと比べて、血圧降下薬ヒドララジン誘発性の圧受容反射応答(陽性変時作用(心拍数の増加)と陽性変力作用(収縮力の増加))のうち、陽性変力作用が著しく減弱していた(図1)。心不全においても圧受容反射応答が著しく減弱しており、予後悪化の原因となることから、TRPC6チャネル活性化が心不全の改善に働く可能性が示された。本発明者らは、この関係に着目し、TRPC3/6/7チャネルの活性化と心不全または骨格筋不全の予防または処置との関係を初めて見出した。 The present inventors demonstrated that TRPC6 gene-deficient mice show a tendency to be vulnerable to heart failure, that is, the hearts of TRPC6-deficient mice are susceptible to increased oxidative stress and inflammation in response to hypertensive stress, and are unable to adapt to hypertensive stress. I paid attention to that. Norepinephrine released from sympathetic nerve terminals is a major neurotransmitter that enhances the pumping function of the heart, and plays an especially important role in compensatory cardiac hyperactivity (baroreceptive reflex) in response to sudden drops in blood pressure. Noradrenaline activates β-adrenergic receptors on the cardiac muscle cell membrane, causing contraction of the cardiac muscle cell and an increase in heart rate. Despite the increase in blood noradrenaline concentration during heart failure, the pump function does not function sufficiently, and desensitization of the number of β-adrenergic receptors and a decrease in the number of receptors have been pointed out as the cause of this. Compared to wild-type mice, TRPC6-deficient mice showed positive baroreflex responses (positive chronotropy (increased heart rate) and positive inotropy (increased contractile force)) induced by the antihypertensive drug hydralazine. The inotropic effect was significantly attenuated (Figure 1). The baroreceptive reflex response is also markedly attenuated in heart failure, which is a cause of worsening prognosis, suggesting that TRPC6 channel activation may work to improve heart failure. The present inventors focused on this relationship and found for the first time a relationship between activation of TRPC3/6/7 channels and prevention or treatment of heart failure or skeletal muscle failure.
 以下に記載する試験例1-3では、異なる実験動物を利用し、モデルの違いや種差・系統差によって表現型が変わることが少なからず生じるにもかかわらず、異なる心不全モデル、異なるマウス系統種であっても同様に心不全保護効果があること(共通性・普遍性)を示すことができた。 In Test Examples 1-3 described below, different experimental animals were used, and despite the fact that the phenotype often changes due to model differences, species differences, and strain differences, different heart failure models and different mouse strains were used. We were able to show that the same protective effect against heart failure exists (commonality/universality).

(2005). Increased vascular smooth muscle contractility in TRPC6-/- mice. Molecular and cellular biology 25(16): 6980-6989. doi : 10.1128/MCB.25.16.6980-6989.2005), the vasodilator hydralazine (Hyd) was administered intravenously to examine compensatory cardiac hyperactivity in response to a drop in blood pressure. The results are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 shows that compared to wild type (WT) mice, the increase in left ventricular contractile force (ΔLVdP/dtmax) is significantly attenuated in TRPC6 gene-deficient mice, while there is no difference in the increase in heart rate (ΔHeart Rate). It is shown that. This indicates that TRPC6-deficient mice showed a positive change in hydralazine-induced baroreflex responses (positive chronotropy (increase in heart rate) and positive inotropy (increase in contractile force)) compared to wild-type mice. This means that the force action is significantly weakened.

An osmotic pump containing PPZ2 (2.5 mg/kg/day), one of the PPZ derivatives, was implanted into the abdominal cavity of the following heart failure model mouse, and subsequent changes in cardiac function were monitored over time and non-invasively using an echocardiogram device.

TRPC6 channel activation in MLP-deficient mice
 拡張型心筋症モデルマウスであるmuscle LIM protein (MLP)欠損マウス(Knoll R, Hoshijima M, Hoffman HM, Person V, Lorenzen-Schmidt I, Bang ML, Hayashi T, Shiga N, Yasukawa H, Schaper W, McKenna W, Yokoyama M, Schork NJ, Omens JH, McCulloch AD, Kimura A, Gregorio CC, Poller W, Schaper J, Schultheiss HP and Chien KR The cardiac mechanical stretch sensor machinery involves a Z disc complex that is defective in a subset of human dilated cardiomyopathy. Cell 111 (2002b), pp. 943-55.)は、出生5週後から心不全を発症する。8~9週令の雄性マウスにPPZ2含有浸透圧ポンプを埋め込んだ後の心機能(駆出率(ejection fraction (EF))と左室内径短縮率fractional shortening (FS))を計測した結果、溶媒(50% (v/v) ジエチルスルホキシド (DMSO)/ 50% (v/v) ポリエチレングリコール300)のみを投与したMLP欠損マウスと比べて、1~3週間後の心機能が有意に高くなることがわかった(図2)。PPZ2投与3週間後のマウス心臓の形態を比較したところ、心筋細胞面積の増加(心肥大)と間質の線維化がPPZ2投与によって有意に抑制されることがわかった。 Muscle LIM protein (MLP)-deficient mouse, a dilated cardiomyopathy model mouse (Knoll R, Hoshijima M, Hoffman HM, Person V, Lorenzen-Schmidt I, Bang ML, Hayashi T, Shiga N, Yasukawa H, Schaper W, McKenna W, Yokoyama M, Schork NJ, Omens JH, McCulloch AD, Kimura A, Gregorio CC, Poller W, Schaper J, Schultheiss HP and Chien KR The cardiac mechanical stretch sensor machinery involves a Z disc complex that is defective in a sub set of human dilated cardiomyopathy. Cell 111 (2002b), pp. 943-55.) develops heart failure 5 weeks after birth. As a result of measuring cardiac function (ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular diameter fractional shortening (FS)) after implanting a PPZ2-containing osmotic pump in 8- to 9-week-old male mice, we found that the solvent Compared to MLP-deficient mice administered with only (50% (v/v) diethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/ 50% (v/v) polyethylene glycol 300), cardiac function was significantly higher after 1 to 3 weeks. (Figure 2). Comparing the morphology of mouse hearts 3 weeks after PPZ2 administration, we found that PPZ2 administration significantly suppressed the increase in myocardial cell area (cardiac hypertrophy) and interstitial fibrosis.

圧負荷誘発心不全モデルマウスにおけるTRPC6チャネル活性化

TRPC6 channel activation in pressure overload-induced heart failure model mice Pressure overload-induced heart failure model mice: Male mice of the 129Sv strain (Kitajima N, et al. TRPC3 positively regulates reactive oxygen species driving maladaptive cardiac remodeling. Sci Rep 6, 37001 (2016)) The transverse aortic constriction (TAC) of (10-16 weeks old, WT and TRPC6-/-) was constricted and pressure overload was induced. After confirming cardiac dysfunction after 1 week of TAC, an osmotic pump containing PPZ2 was implanted intraperitoneally and continuous administration was performed for 4 weeks.
 得られた結果を図3に示す。TAC後の心不全モデルマウスの心臓では、TRPC6チャネル遺伝子の発現量が代償的に増加することが知られている(Kuwahara K, et al. TRPC6 fulfills a calcineurin signaling circuit during pathologic cardiac remodeling. Journal of Clinical Investigation 116, 3114-3126 (2006).)。 TAC1週間後、心機能が低下したことを確認してから、PPZ2を含んだ浸透圧ポンプを埋込み、その後の心機能変化を解析した。TAC後、対照マウスでは時間経過とともに心機能が徐々に低下したのに対し、PPZ投与マウスでは、投与後3~4週間のEF、FS上昇率が有意に増えていることがわかった(図3-1a,b)。PPZ2投与4週間後のマウス心臓の形態を比較したところ、心筋細胞面積の増加(心肥大)と間質の線維化がPPZ2投与によって有意に抑制されることがわかった(図3-1c,図3-2d)。正常マウスにPPZ2を投与しても心筋組織内Zn2+濃度に変化はなかったが、TAC処置心筋において、PPZ2投与により有意なZn2+濃度増加が観察された(図3-2e)。この増加は、TRPC6欠損により完全に抑制された。また、β受容体が活性化すると内因性の心筋保護シグナルであるプロテインキナーゼG (PKG)が活性化されることも知られている(Takimoto E, et al. cGMP catabolism by phosphodiesterase 5A regulates cardiac adrenergic stimulation by NOS3-dependent mechanism. Circ Res 96, 100-109 (2005).)。PPZ2投与は、TAC処置心筋においてのみ有意な活性増加を引き起こし、この活性増加はTRPC6欠損によって抑制されることわかった(図3-2f)。総じて、図3は、PPZ2投与マウスでは、溶媒(50% (v/v) ジエチルスルホキシド (DMSO)/ 50% (v/v) ポリエチレングリコール300)を投与した(対照)マウス(対照)と比べて、TAC後の心不全が有意に改善することを示している。 The results obtained are shown in FIG. It is known that the expression level of the TRPC6 channel gene increases compensatoryly in the hearts of heart failure model mice after TAC (Kuwahara K, et al. TRPC6 fulfills a calcineurin signaling circuit during pathologic cardiac remodeling. Journal of Clinical Investigation 116, 3114-3126 (2006). After confirming that cardiac function had decreased one week after TAC, an osmotic pump containing PPZ2 was implanted, and subsequent changes in cardiac function were analyzed. After TAC, cardiac function gradually decreased over time in control mice, whereas in PPZ-treated mice, the rate of increase in EF and FS increased significantly for 3 to 4 weeks after administration (Figure 3 -1a,b). When we compared the morphology of mouse hearts 4 weeks after PPZ2 administration, we found that the increase in myocardial cell area (cardiac hypertrophy) and interstitial fibrosis were significantly suppressed by PPZ2 administration (Figure 3-1c, 3-2d). Administration of PPZ2 to normal mice did not change the Zn 2+ concentration in myocardial tissue, but a significant increase in Zn 2+ concentration was observed in TAC-treated myocardium due to PPZ2 administration (Figure 3-2e). This increase was completely suppressed by TRPC6 deficiency. It is also known that protein kinase G (PKG), an endogenous cardioprotective signal, is activated when β receptors are activated (Takimoto E, et al. cGMP catabolism by phosphodiesterase 5A regulates cardiac adrenergic stimulation by NOS3-dependent mechanism. Circ Res 96, 100-109 (2005).) It was found that PPZ2 administration caused a significant activity increase only in TAC-treated myocardium, and this activity increase was suppressed by TRPC6 deficiency (Figure 3-2f). Overall, Fig. 3 shows that PPZ2-treated mice had higher levels of cancer compared to mice treated with vehicle (50% (v/v) diethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/50% (v/v) polyethylene glycol 300) (control). , showing a significant improvement in heart failure after TAC.

心筋梗塞後心不全モデルマウスにおけるTRPC6チャネル活性化
 心筋梗塞後心不全モデルマウス(Nishimura A, et al. Hypoxia-induced interaction of filamin with Drp1 causes mitochondrial hyperfission-associated myocardial senescence. Sci Signal 11, (2018).)において冠動脈左前下行枝を結紮し、心筋梗塞(myocardial infarction; MI)を誘発させた。MI1週間後、心機能が低下したことを確認してから、PPZ2を含んだ浸透圧ポンプを埋込み、その後の心機能変化を解析した。MI後、対照マウスでは時間経過とともに心機能が徐々に低下したのに対し、PPZ投与マウスでは、投与後3~4週間のEF、FS上昇率が有意に増えていることがわかった(図4)。

TRPC6 channel activation in post-myocardial infarction heart failure model mice (Nishimura A, et al. Hypoxia-induced interaction of filamin with Drp1 causes mitochondrial hyperfission-associated myocardial senescence. Sci Signal 11, (2018).) The left anterior descending coronary artery was ligated to induce myocardial infarction (MI). After confirming that cardiac function had decreased one week after MI, an osmotic pump containing PPZ2 was implanted, and subsequent changes in cardiac function were analyzed. After MI, cardiac function gradually decreased over time in control mice, whereas in PPZ-treated mice, the rate of increase in EF and FS increased significantly for 3 to 4 weeks after administration (Figure 4 ).

一過性の血圧低下誘発による圧受容反射応答に対する効果
 PPZ2を30分前に腹腔内投与したマウスにヒドララジン(0.5 mg/kg, 1.2 mL/h)を投与し、一過性の血圧低下誘発による圧受容反射応答、特に心臓の陽性変力作用が増強するか検討した。TRPC6チャネル阻害剤BI749327 (30 mg/kg) (In vivo selective inhibition of TRPC6 by antagonist BI 749327 ameliorates fibrosis and dysfunction in cardiac and renal disease, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1815354116)を、PPZ2 (2.5 mg/kg)投与する5時間前に経口投与した。
Test example 4
Effect on baroreceptive reflex response by inducing a transient decrease in blood pressure Hydralazine (0.5 mg/kg, 1.2 mL/h) was administered to mice that had been intraperitoneally administered PPZ2 30 minutes prior to inducing a transient decrease in blood pressure. We investigated whether baroreceptive reflex responses, especially cardiac positive inotropic effects, were enhanced. TRPC6 channel inhibitor BI749327 (30 mg/kg) (In vivo selective inhibition of TRPC6 by antagonist BI 749327 ameliorates fibrosis and dysfunction in cardiac and renal disease, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1815354116) was combined with PPZ2 ( 2.5 mg/kg) was administered orally 5 hours before administration.
 得られた結果を図5に示す。縦軸はヒドララジン誘発性の(圧受容反射による)左心室収縮力の増加分(ΔLVdP/dtmax)または心拍数の増加分(ΔHeart Rate)を示している。PPZ2の投与により、PPZ2の濃度依存的にヒドララジン誘発性のΔLVdP/dtmaxが増加する。一方で、PPZ2投与ではヒドララジン誘発性のΔHeart Rateは変化しない。さらに、PPZ2の投与によるヒドララジン誘発性のΔLVdP/dtmaxの増加は、TRPC6チャネル阻害剤であるBI749327の投与により抑制された。以上のことから、PPZ2はTRPC6チャネルの活性化を介して濃度依存的に圧受容反射による心臓の陽性変力作用を増強することがわかった。 The obtained results are shown in Figure 5. The vertical axis shows the hydralazine-induced increase in left ventricular contractile force (ΔLVdP/dtmax) or heart rate (ΔHeart Rate). Administration of PPZ2 increases hydralazine-induced ΔLVdP/dtmax in a PPZ2 concentration-dependent manner. On the other hand, PPZ2 administration did not change the hydralazine-induced ΔHeart Rate. Furthermore, the hydralazine-induced increase in ΔLVdP/dtmax due to administration of PPZ2 was suppressed by administration of BI749327, a TRPC6 channel inhibitor. From the above, it was found that PPZ2 enhances the positive inotropic effect of the heart caused by the baroreceptive reflex in a concentration-dependent manner through activation of the TRPC6 channel.

TRPC6チャネル活性化物質GSK1702934AのZn2+濃度増強効果
 PPZ2以外のTRPC6チャネル活性化物質GSK1702934A(In vivo selective inhibition of TRPC6 by antagonist BI 749327 ameliorates fibrosis and dysfunction in cardiac and renal disease, https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1815354116)によるZn2+濃度増強効果を調べた。HEK293細胞にTRPC6 (WT)またはZn2+透過能欠損変異体(KYD)を発現させ、TRPC6活性化物質処置により細胞内Zn2+濃度上昇がTRPC6依存的に誘発されるか検討した。
Test example 5
Zn 2+ concentration enhancement effect of TRPC6 channel activator GSK1702934A TRPC6 channel activator other than PPZ2 GSK1702934A (In vivo selective inhibition of TRPC6 by antagonist BI 749327 ameliorates fibrosis and dysfunction in cardiac and renal disease, https://doi.org /10.1073/pnas.1815354116) was investigated to enhance Zn 2+ concentration. We expressed TRPC6 (WT) or Zn 2+ permeability-defective mutant (KYD) in HEK293 cells, and examined whether treatment with a TRPC6 activator would induce an increase in intracellular Zn 2+ concentration in a TRPC6-dependent manner.
 得られた結果を図6に示す。細胞内Zn2+濃度をFluoZn-3染色にて検討した。TRPC6 (WT)を発現させた細胞ではPPZ2の処置により、FluoZn-3蛍光強度が増加した。一方で、TRPC6 (KYD)を発現させた細胞では、PPZ2の処置によりFluoZn-3蛍光強度は変化しなかった。さらに、GSK1702934A処置でもPPZ2同様に、TRPC6 (WT)を発現させた細胞ではFluoZn-3蛍光強度は増加したが、TRPC6 (KYD)を発現させた細胞ではFluoZn-3蛍光強度に変化はなかった。以上のことから、TRPC6チャネル活性化物質GSK1702934AはPPZ2同様に細胞内のZn2+濃度増強効果を有することが明らかになった。 The obtained results are shown in FIG. Intracellular Zn 2+ concentration was examined using FluoZn-3 staining. Treatment with PPZ2 increased FluoZn-3 fluorescence intensity in cells expressing TRPC6 (WT). On the other hand, in cells expressing TRPC6 (KYD), treatment with PPZ2 did not change FluoZn-3 fluorescence intensity. Furthermore, with GSK1702934A treatment, as with PPZ2, FluoZn-3 fluorescence intensity increased in cells expressing TRPC6 (WT), but there was no change in FluoZn-3 fluorescence intensity in cells expressing TRPC6 (KYD). From the above, it was revealed that the TRPC6 channel activator GSK1702934A has the effect of enhancing intracellular Zn 2+ concentration similarly to PPZ2.

Effect of TRPC6 channel activator GSK1702934A and hyperforin on enhancing myocardial contractility TRPC6 channel activator other than PPZ2 GSK1702934A and hyperforin (GSK1702934A and M085 directly activate TRPC6 via a mechanism of stimulating the extracellular cavity formed by the pore helix and transmembrane helix S6, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2021.101125) to investigate the effect of enhancing myocardial contractility. Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with a TRPC6 activator for 30 minutes to examine whether norepinephrine (NE) (1 μM) increased the contractile force of cardiomyocytes.
 得られた結果を図7に示す。PPZ2はNEによる心筋収縮を増強した。また、PPZ2による心筋収縮増強作用はZn2+のキレーターであるTPEN 処置により減弱した。したがって、PPZ2はZn2+依存的にNEによる心筋収縮を増強することが明らかとなった(図7a)。GSK1702934AとハイパーフォリンもPPZ2同様の効果を示すことがわかった(図7b)。 The obtained results are shown in FIG. PPZ2 enhanced NE-induced myocardial contraction. In addition, the myocardial contraction enhancing effect of PPZ2 was attenuated by treatment with TPEN, a Zn 2+ chelator. Therefore, it was revealed that PPZ2 enhances NE-induced myocardial contraction in a Zn 2+ -dependent manner (Fig. 7a). It was found that GSK1702934A and hyperforin also showed effects similar to PPZ2 (Figure 7b).

筋ジストロフィーモデルマウスにおけるTRPC6チャネル活性化
 筋ジストロフィーモデルマウス:C57BL/10-mdxマウス(6週齢:日本クレアから購入)にPPZ2(2.5 mg/kg)を含んだ浸透圧ポンプを腹腔内に埋込み、4週間の持続投与を行った。PPZ2投与マウスでは、溶媒(50% (v/v) ジエチルスルホキシド (DMSO)/ 50% (v/v) ポリエチレングリコール300)を投与したマウス(対照)と比べて、筋障害マーカーである血中のLDH(乳酸デヒドロゲナーゼ)やCK(クレアチニンキナーゼ)が有意に抑制されることがわかった(図8)。
Test example 7
TRPC6 channel activation in muscular dystrophy model mice Muscular dystrophy model mice: C57BL/10-mdx mice (6 weeks old, purchased from CLEA Japan) were implanted with an osmotic pump containing PPZ2 (2.5 mg/kg) intraperitoneally for 4 weeks. Continuous administration was performed. In mice treated with PPZ2, blood levels, which are markers of myopathy, were significantly reduced compared to mice treated with vehicle (50% (v/v) diethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/50% (v/v) polyethylene glycol 300) (control). It was found that LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) and CK (creatinine kinase) were significantly inhibited (Figure 8).

TRPC6 channel was expressed in the cell membrane. That is, by introducing TRPC6 plasmid DNA (pCI-neo (Promega)) into HEK293 cells using a lipofection agent and culturing them at 37°C for 24 to 48 hours, HEK293 cells with TRPC6 channels expressed in their cell membranes were produced. (TRPC6-expressing HEK293 cells) were generated. Specifically, the method described in Non-Patent Document 1 (S. Sawamura et al., Mol. Pharmacol., 89, 348-363 (2016)) was followed. Using the TRPC3 gene, HEK293 cells in which the TRPC3 channel was expressed in the cell membrane (TRPC3-expressing HEK293 cells) were produced in the same manner.

TRPC6チャネルを発現したHEK293細胞内へのCa2+の流入に対する実施例化合物の作用
 チャネルを試験例8に記載の測定方法に従ってカルシウムイオン濃度変化を測定した。試験化合物にはPPZ2、L687、L-0042~L-0046(以下に示す化合物)を使用し、その添加量は1~30μMである。また、試験化合物に代えて0.1%のDMSOを使用し、対照とした。Fura-2の蛍光強度(Ratio)を経時的に測定することによって、TRPC6チャネル発現HEK293細胞内におけるCa2+増加量(試験化合物添加後に測定された最大Ratio値から初期の(試験化合物添加前の)値を控除したΔRatio値)を求めた。DMSOを使用した対照よりもCa2+増加量が大きかった試験化合物を、TRPC6チャネルを活性化する物質とした。

Effect of Example Compounds on Ca 2+ Influx into HEK293 Cells Expressing TRPC6 Channel Changes in calcium ion concentration of the channel were measured according to the measurement method described in Test Example 8. PPZ2, L687, L-0042 to L-0046 (compounds shown below) are used as test compounds, and the amount added is 1 to 30 μM. Additionally, 0.1% DMSO was used instead of the test compound as a control. By measuring the fluorescence intensity (Ratio) of Fura-2 over time, the increase in Ca 2+ in HEK293 cells expressing TRPC6 channel (from the maximum Ratio value measured after addition of the test compound to the initial value (before addition of the test compound)) was determined. ΔRatio value) was calculated. Test compounds that caused a greater Ca 2+ increase than the DMSO control were designated as substances that activate TRPC6 channels.

 L687およびPPZ2についての結果を図9に、および本発明の化合物についての結果を図10に示す。PPZ2はTRPC6チャネルを活性化させ細胞内へCa2+を流入させることが知られており、本試験でもPPZ2の添加により、濃度依存的なΔRatio値の増加が見られた。類似化合物であるL687(図9)やL-0042~L-0046(図10)においても、濃度依存的に細胞内Ca2+濃度を増加させたことから、これら化合物はTRPC6チャネルを活性化することが確認された。特にL-0044(実施例1化合物)において、最も強いTRPC6依存的な細胞内Ca2+濃度増加が観察された。
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-C000030
The results for L687 and PPZ2 are shown in FIG. 9, and the results for the compounds of the invention are shown in FIG. 10. PPZ2 is known to activate TRPC6 channels and cause Ca 2+ to flow into cells, and in this study, addition of PPZ2 resulted in a concentration-dependent increase in the ΔRatio value. Similar compounds L687 (Figure 9) and L-0042 to L-0046 (Figure 10) also increased intracellular Ca 2+ concentration in a concentration-dependent manner, indicating that these compounds activate TRPC6 channels. was confirmed.

 得られた結果を図11に示す。ヒトTRPC3チャネルを発現させたHEK293細胞において、本発明の化合物L-0042~L-0046は、濃度依存的に細胞内Ca2+濃度を増加させたことから、これら化合物はTRPC3チャネルも活性化することが確認された。特にL-0043(実施例2化合物)において、最も強いTRPC3依存的な細胞内Ca2+濃度増加が観察された。

インビトロ心肥大応答に対するL-0044の抑制効果
 新生児ラット心筋細胞を3μM L-0044(実施例1化合物)とともに、あるいはL-0044なしで、1時間プレインキュベートした。その後、細胞を100nMエンドセリン-1(ET-1)で24時間刺激した。細胞サイズを測定するため、細胞を抗アクチニン抗体で染色した。
 得られた結果を図12に示す。図12は、ET-1投与が心筋細胞の肥大を誘導し、他方、L-0044の前処置はET-1を介した心肥大を減少させることを示している。これにより、L-0044単独で弱い心筋肥大が起こる傾向があるものの、エンドセリン-1刺激による病的な心肥大を、3μM L-0044での処置が抑制することが判明した。
Test example 9
Suppressive effect of L-0044 on in vitro cardiac hypertrophic response Neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were preincubated with or without 3 μM L-0044 (Example 1 compound) for 1 hour. Cells were then stimulated with 100 nM endothelin-1 (ET-1) for 24 hours. To measure cell size, cells were stained with anti-actinin antibody.
The obtained results are shown in FIG. 12. Figure 12 shows that ET-1 administration induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, while L-0044 pretreatment reduces ET-1-mediated cardiac hypertrophy. This revealed that although L-0044 alone tends to cause weak myocardial hypertrophy, treatment with 3 μM L-0044 suppresses pathological cardiac hypertrophy caused by endothelin-1 stimulation.
