Specification

DESC:TITLE OF THE INVENTION
A conjugate compound for regulation of MBP expression and novel in-situ process for preparation thereof.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the conjugate compound for treating the disorders related to dysregulation of myelin basic protein (MBP) expression. Particularly, it pertains to the conjugate of magnesium with acetylated aminosulfonic acid which regulates the myelin basic protein (MBP) expression, thereby facilitating myelin sheath formation and maintenance.

Further, the present invention relates to novel in-situ process for preparation of the conjugate of magnesium with acetylated aminosulfonic acid with high purity and high yield. Particularly, the process comprising steps of in-situ catalytic acetylation of aminosulfonic acid followed by conjugation of magnesium in presence of base.

More particularly, the present invention relates to magnesium conjugate or conjugate of magnesium that easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier and effectively influence MBP expression which ensures targeted action, improve bioavailability, minimizes systemic side effects, and provides prolonged effect.

The present magnesium conjugate is useful in the treatment of disorders related to dysregulation of myelin basic protein (MBP) expression such as leukodystrophies, dementia, traumatic brain injury (TBI), adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO), schizophrenia, meningitis, age-related macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis (MS), Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease (PD), bipolar disorder and hypomyelination disorder.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) is a crucial protein in the central nervous system (CNS) involved in the formation and maintenance of the myelin sheath, which insulates axons and enhances the speed of electrical signal transmission. MBP maintains the correct structure of myelin, interacting with the lipids in the myelin membrane.

MBP belongs to a family of proteins that are highly conserved across species. MBP is rich in basic amino acids, giving it a positive charge, which is essential for its interaction with the negatively charged lipid components of the myelin membrane. MBP is critical for the compaction of the myelin sheath. It brings together the layers of the myelin membrane by binding to the lipid bilayers. It helps maintain the structural integrity of the myelin sheath, ensuring proper insulation of axons. By insulating axons, MBP aids in the rapid transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system. MBP plays major role in cell adhesion processes within the CNS, contributing to the stability of the myelin sheath.

MBP is a target in autoimmune reactions in MS, where the immune system attacks myelin, leading to demyelination and neurological impairment. Genetic mutations affecting MBP which leads to leukodystrophies, a group of disorders characterized by defective myelin formation. Abnormal MBP expression has been observed in various neurological disorders, suggesting a potential role in their pathogenesis. MBP levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can serve as a biomarker for demyelinating diseases like MS.

Ongoing research focuses on understanding the regulation of MBP expression, its role in myelin dynamics, and developing therapeutic approaches to modulate its function in neurological diseases. Understanding the regulation of MBP expression sheds light on the underlying mechanisms governing CNS myelination. MBP expression is regulated at multiple levels such as alternative promoter utilization, alternative splicing events, mRNA translocation, translational control, posttranslational modifications of the proteins. [Cell Biology and Pathology of Myelin. edited by Juurlink et at. Plenum Press. New Yark. 1997].

MBP has broader role in myelination beyond being a structural component. MBP may be more actively involved in myelination not only as a main building block but also as a self-regulating element [Evgeniya V. Smirnova et.al., Biomolecules 2021, 11, 1628].

As on date, MBP antibodies and peptides offer benefits in both diagnostic and therapeutic contexts. They are valuable tools in research, providing insights into myelin biology and disease mechanisms, and hold potential for developing targeted therapies for demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis. MBP antibodies can help to detect the presence and levels of MBP in cerebrospinal fluid, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of MS. MBP peptides can modulate immune responses and have neuroprotective effects, promoting remyelination and repair of damaged nerves in animal models of demyelination.

WO2011046462 describes a method for diagnosing and treating multiple sclerosis by detecting and modulating MBP. It includes techniques for identifying specific MBP epitopes that may play a role in the disease's progression and potential therapeutic interventions targeting these epitopes.

WO2024130249 describes use of MBP peptides for the treatment of autoimmune neural diseases. It proposes that certain MBP peptides can modulate immune responses and may be useful in treating conditions like neuroinflammation-related disorder which includes multiple sclerosis.

However, the development of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) antibodies and peptides for therapeutic purposes has faced several challenges and leads to limited success. The reasons such as immunogenicity [peptides or antibodies] can potentially exacerbate the autoimmune response rather than ameliorate it. The immune system might recognize these therapeutic peptides or antibodies as foreign, leading to an immune attack on myelin, worsening demyelination, potential toxicity [long-term administration of MBP antibodies or peptides can lead to toxicity or adverse effects, such as increased inflammation or unintended immune reactions against other CNS components] and technical and manufacturing issues including ensuring the stability of MBP peptides or antibodies during manufacturing, storage, and delivery is challenging. Unstable products can lose their efficacy or become immunogenic. Further developing and producing these therapies can be expensive, limiting their widespread use and accessibility.

The main reason for failure of MBP antibodies and peptides is blood brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a major obstacle for delivering therapeutic agents to the central nervous system (CNS). Many MBP-targeting antibodies and peptides struggle to cross the BBB effectively, reducing their therapeutic efficacy. Ensuring that MBP peptides or antibodies reach the specific sites of demyelination without affecting other parts of the CNS is difficult. Non-specific targeting can lead to unintended side effects.

However, the BBB is highly selective, allowing only certain molecules to pass through. Many potential therapeutics may be unable to cross the BBB due to their size, polarity, or other chemical properties. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the circulating blood from the brain and extracellular fluid in the central nervous system (CNS). It is crucial for maintaining the brain's microenvironment, which is essential for proper neuronal function. The BBB is formed by endothelial cells of the brain's capillaries, which are tightly joined together with tight junctions, along with astrocytic end-feet and pericytes.

Therefore, the penetration of the BBB is important for the regulation of the Myelin Basic Protein (MBP). Effective regulation of the MBP requires the delivery of therapeutic agents directly to the oligodendrocytes and other cells in the CNS. Therapeutic agents must reach the CNS and influence MBP expression directly in oligodendrocytes. The therapeutic agents that can cross the BBB can help create a more favourable environment for myelination and MBP regulation. By ensuring that therapeutic agents cross the BBB, the treatment can be localized to the CNS, reducing the risk of systemic side effects that might occur if the agents acted peripherally. Effective penetration of the BBB can allow for lower dosages of therapeutics, as the agents will be delivered directly to the site of action.

To overcome the challenge of BBB penetration, new strategy can be employed such as designing therapeutic agent that can passively diffuse through the BBB. Current therapeutic approaches are limited in efficacy and often associated with significant side effects. Therefore, there is a need for novel therapeutic agents that can easily penetrate BBB and effectively regulate MBP expression and promote remyelination.

Interestingly, the inventors of present invention have developed novel conjugate compound which can easily penetrate blood brain barrier (BBB) to influence MBP expression and it is generally safe for administration with improved bioavailability and reduced side effects.

Example 1: In-situ process for preparation of conjugate of magnesium with acetylated aminosulfonic acid group.
Step 1: Acetylation of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid in the presence of 4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)
For the acetylation of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, 10 g (0.11 mol) of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid weighted and dissolved in 100 mL of ethanol measured with a graduated cylinder. Complete dissolution was ensured by using an IKA magnetic stirrer. Then, 11.2 g (0.12 mol) of ethyl acetate and 1 g of DMAP was added to the solution. The reaction mixture was placed on hot plate with a magnetic stirrer and heat it to 70°C, monitored the temperature with a thermometer. The mixture was stirred for 4 hours to ensure complete acetylation.
H2N-CH2-CH2-SO3H + CH3COOCH2CH3 CH3-CO-HN-CH2-CH2-SO3H + CH3CH2OH
Step 2: In situ conjugation of magnesium with acetylated 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid
Once the acetylation reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was removed from the hot plate and allowed to cool to room temperature. Slowly added 9.5 g (0.1 mol) of magnesium chloride to the reaction mixture while stirring. To neutralize any acidic by-products, 10 mL of triethylamine added and stirred the reaction mixture for another 1-2 hours at room temperature.
2[CH3-CO-HN-CH2-CH2-SO3H] + MgCl2 Mg(CH3-CO-HN-CH2-CH2-SO3)2+ 2HCl
Purification, Yield and Purity:
The reaction mixture was filtered through vacuum filtration apparatus and remove any insoluble impurities. A hot filtration setup was used to prevent premature crystallization. This can be done using a Büchner funnel and filter paper or a sintered glass filter. The filtered solution was allowed to cool slowly to room temperature, and then placed it in an ice bath to promote crystallization of the conjugate compound. Once crystals have formed, filtered them out using vacuum filtration. The crystals were washed with a small amount of cold solvent like ethyl acetate to remove any adhering impurities. The purified magnesium conjugate crystals were dried under vacuum or in a drying oven at a suitable temperature (e.g., 50-60°C) to remove any residual solvent. The final product is formed by the acetylation of 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid and subsequent conjugation with magnesium. The purity of the purified magnesium conjugate with acetyl 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid verified using analytical techniques such as NMR spectroscopy, HPLC, or melting point determination.

Administration of scopolamine via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection. The systemic scopolamine treatment induces cognitive impairment along with a significant decrease of myelin basic protein (MBP) expression in the rat brain parts.

Scopolamine is a non-selective postsynaptic muscarinic receptor blocker and can cause myelin sheath impairments in rodents and humans via decreasing the effectiveness of MBP in animals and humans CNS.

Administration and Procedure -
All the animals were acclimatized for at least 7 days under controlled environmental condition. Total 42 animals were divided into seven groups consisting of 6 animals per group.

Normal control group receiving vehicle, disease control group receiving scopolamine intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection only, and treatment groups MgSO4, MgOH, Mg Taurate, Taurine, Mg Conjugate were treated with the test substance followed by the scopolamine injection.

Rats were intraperitoneally injected with 1 mg/kg of scopolamine (SCO), once daily, for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks (n = 36 at each point in time). The control rats (n = 6 at each point in time) were injected with the same volume of saline (pH 7.4). The rats were sacrificed after 4 weeks SCO or saline treatment.

After sacrification of animals, whole fresh brains were removed and weighed and further processed in PBS (Phosphate buffer saline) pH- 7.4. The brain parts cortex, cerebellum, striatum, cortex, midbrain were carefully isolated with the help of sharp blade and microspatula.

ELISA for MBP:
Sample Preparation and Analysis:
After successful isolation of all brain parts, all parts were immersed in 2-5 ml of PBS buffer solution and homogenized for 5 to 10 minutes with 5000 rpm by tissue homogenizer machine and allowed for centrifugation for 15 min at 8000 to 10,000 rpm. The resultant supernatant was collected and preserved at cold temperature in deep freeze. 100 microlitres of sample were added to the particular wells and incubation for 90 min at 37°C. Further 100 microlitres of anti-MBP antibody working solution was added to each well and incubated again for 1 hour at 37°C in the incubator. After the incubation completion washed the plate by washing buffer solution. 100 microlitres of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) conjugate working solution was added to the plate and incubated for 30 min at 37°C incubator then 90 microlitres of a substrate tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) reagent was added that reacted with the enzyme and incubated, subsequently 50 microlitres of Stop solution was added to stop the enzymatic reaction. The blue colour was converted to yellow colour just after the addition of Stop solution which indicates that the reaction has been stopped. The reading of the plate in ELISA plate reader at 450 nm and results were displayed with graph plots in units measurement (pg/mg protein).

The MBP concentration in each sample (expressed in picograms per milligram of total protein) was determined and plotted in bar charts. All results of the statistical analysis were summarized in separate tables.

Statistical analysis
The values were expressed in Mean±sem. The significance of in vivo data was analysed by one-way Anova followed by Dunnet test. P < 0.001 was considered as significant.

Results:
Changes in MBP levels was observed in the different parts of brain once treated with different salts of magnesium after chronic systemic treatment with 1 mg/kg SCO. MBP level at 1 week after SCO treatment was not significantly different compared to the control group. MBP level was increased after treatment with Magnesium salt.

Among the other magnesium salt present conjugate of magnesium with acetylated aminosulfonic acid showed significant results.

Result Outcome Discussion:
Rodent models of MBP deficits have been established using SCO-induced amnesia. In the CNS, myelin is responsible for protection and insulation of axons as well as proper communication between neurons. Thus, the loss of myelin has marked negative effects on axonal function and neuronal connections. Many recent studies have demonstrated that myelin may play a crucial role in cognitive function, likely because of its involvement in information processing; it maintains connectivity between neuronal circuits and regulates conduction velocity.

In this study, it was first examined chronological changes in myelin in the rat brain after chronic systemic treatment with SCO using MBP immunohistochemistry. The density of MBP immunoreactive myelinated fibers was significantly decreased with SCO tretment. It is well known that the degradation of myelin is a key feature in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, inducing cognitive dysfunction

After treatment with different magnesium salts like magnesium sulphate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium taurate, taurine and the present magnesium conjugate. All magnesium salt except taurine showed certain action on different parts of brain that in turn ameliorate MBP expression, however among all salts present magnesium conjugate expressed significant results with substantial increase in MBP level, which was almost two times better that the known magnesium salts.

It is concluded that, the present conjugate of magnesium reduces hypomyelination, effectively prevents degradation of myelin. The MBP expression in brain homogenate shows significant increase in MBP level ranges from 1.8 to 2.9 pg/mg.
