    Abstract Inhibition of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease (PD), particularly in patients where glycosphingolipid accumulation and lysosomal impairment are thought to be contributing to disease progression. Herein, we report the late-stage optimization of an orally bioavailable and CNS penetrant isoindolinone class of GCS inhibitors. Starting from advanced lead

    Abstract Parkinson's disease is the second most prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Loss-of-function mutations in GBA, the gene that encodes for the lysosomal enzyme glucosylcerebrosidase, are a major genetic risk factor for the development of Parkinson's disease potentially through the accumulation of glucosylceramide and glucosylsphingosine in the CNS. A therapeutic strategy to reduce glycosphingolipid accumulation in the CNS would entail inhibition of the enzyme responsible for their synthesis, glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). Herein, we report the optimization of a bicyclic pyrazole amide GCS inhibitor discovered through HTS to low dose, oral, CNS penetrant, bicyclic pyrazole urea GCSi's with

    Abstract To support in vivo screening efforts for estrogen receptor (ER) subtype selective therapeutic agents, we initiated work to discover surrogate markers (biomarkers) in blood plasma that would change in response to ER subtype-specific action. We used a proteomic approach employing strong anion exchange chromatography (SAX), PAGE, and MS to identify potential plasma markers for selective ER-alpha action. The methodology was used to compare blood from vehicle-treated rats to blood from rats treated with either 17beta-estradiol (an ER-alpha/ER-beta agonist) or compound 1 (17alpha-ethynyl-[3,2-c]pyrazolo-19-nor-4-androstene-17beta-ol, an ER-alpha-selective agonist). Blood samples were first fractionated by SAX to separate fractions containing dominant common plasma proteins from fractions enriched for less-abundant plasma proteins. 1-D PAGE analysis of fractions depleted of dominant plasma proteins revealed treatment-specific changes in protein profiles. Protein bands that changed reproducibly in response to ER-alpha action were excised from the gel, separated by capillary LC, and identified by microspray ESI-MS. Using this method, the plasma levels of two proteins, transthyretin and apolipoprotein E, were shown to decrease in response to ER-alpha agonism. The method lacked the sensitivity to identify the known, 1000-fold less-abundant, estrogenic marker prolactin (PRL). However, using a commercial RIA and immunoblots, we showed that PRL levels increase significantly in response to treatment with the ER-alpha selective agonist, compound 1.

    Abstract In the search for strategies to treat schizophrenia, attention has focused on enhancing NMDA receptor function. In vitro experiments show that metabotropic glutamate 5 receptor (mGluR5) activation enhances NMDA receptor activity, and in vivo experiments indicate that mGluR5 positive allosteric modulators (PAMs) are effective in preclinical assays measuring antipsychotic potential and cognition. Here we characterized the dose-effect function of CDPPB (3-cyano-N-(1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)benzamide), an mGluR5 PAM, on novel object recognition memory in unimpaired Wistar Hannover rats (0, 10 or 30 mg/kg CDPPB) and animals with an MK-801-induced deficit (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg CDPPB). In each experiment compound was given 30 min prior to the first exposure in order to affect acquisition/consolidation of the memory. In both cases, an inverted-U-shaped dose-effect function was observed, with lower doses improving recognition but higher doses having no effect. We then examined the effects of CDPPB (0, 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg) on markers of synaptic plasticity in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, focusing on the expression and phosphorylation status of proteins involved in NMDA related signaling, including the NMDA receptor subunits NR1 and NR2B, the AMPA receptor subunit GluR1, alphaCa((2+))/CaM dependent Ser-Thr kinases II (alphaCaMKII), and the transcription factor CREB. Expression and phosphorylation of many of these proteins, particularly in the prefrontal cortex, were also characterized by an inverted-U-shaped dose-effect function. Taken together, these findings show that mGluR5 activation enhances NMDA receptor function and markers of neuronal plasticity commensurate with improvements in recognition memory. However, the effects of CDPPB are heavily dependent on dose, with higher doses being ineffective in improving recognition memory and producing downstream effects consistent with heightened NMDA receptor activation. These findings may have important implications for the development of mGluR5 PAMs to treat schizophrenia.
