Cathepsin C inhibitors for treating cystic fibrosis, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, and ANCA-associated vasculitis
Bronchiectasis
Dipeptidyl peptidase I inhibitor
This study is the first administration of GSK2793660 to humans and will evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of single oral ascending doses of GSK2793660, and of repeat oral doses of GSK2793660 in healthy subjects. The study will comprise two parts (Part A and Part B). Part A will consist of two cohorts of subjects, each taking part in a three-way cross over study, with ascending doses of GSK2793660 and placebo. Available safety, PK and PD data will be reviewed before each dose escalation. This will be followed by a food-effect arm in the cohort that received what is deemed to be the target clinical dose. Part B is planned to consist of up to two cohorts of subjects, each taking part in one 14 day repeat dose study period. Subjects will be dosed on Day 1 and then on Days 3-15. It is planned that two doses will be evaluated. The dose(s) to be tested will be selected based on safety, PK, and PD from Part A. The study is intended to provide sufficient confidence in the safety profile of the molecule and information on target engagement to allow progression to further studies………..https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02058407
Cathepsin C inhibitors for treating cystic fibrosis, non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis, and ANCA-associated vasculitis
Cathepsins are a family of enzymes included in the papain superfamily of cysteine proteases. Cathepsins B, C, F, H, K, L, S, V, and X have been described in the scientific literature. Cathepsin C is also known in the literature as Dipeptidyl Peptidase I or “DPPI.”
A number of recently published studies have begun to describe the role cathepsin C plays in certain inflammatory processes. See e.g. Adkison et al., The Journal of Clinical Investigation 109:363-371 (2002); Tran et al., Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics 403 : 160-170 (2002); Thiele et al., The Journal of Immunology 158: 5200-5210 (1997);
Bidere et al., The Journal of Biological Chemistry 277: 32339-32347 (2002); Mabee et al., The Journal of Immunology 160: 5880-5885 (1998); McGuire et al., The Journal of
Biological Chemistry, 268: 2458-2467 (1993); and Paris et al., FEBS Letters 369: 326-330 (1995). From these studies, it appears that cathepsin C is co-expressed in granules of neutrophils and other leukocytes with certain serine proteases and cathepsin C functions to process the pro-forms of the serine proteases to active forms. Serine proteases are released from the granules of leukocytes recruited to sites of inflammation. Once activated, these proteases have a number of functions including degradation of various extracellular matrix components, which together can propagate tissue damage and chronic inflammation.
Studies in both cathepsin C deficient mice, and the human cathepsin C deficiency
Papillon-Lefevre syndrome clearly demonstrate that cathepsin C is required for the
activation of the neutrophil serine proteases in azurophilic granules such as neutrophil elastase (NE), cathepsin G, and proteinase 3. See Pham, C. T. et al., J. Immunol. 173 :
7277-7281 (2004).
A number of respiratory diseases are associated with an overabundant
acculumation of neutrophils and the presence of increased levels of at least some
neutrophil serine proteases. These enzymes are believed to play a role in the pathology of several respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (“COPD”), cystic fibrosis (CF), and non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis. Each of these diseases is associated with increased levels of E in particular, and E at least is considered to play a role in the progression of disease. See Ranes, J. and Stoller, J. K., Semin. Respir. Crit. Care Med 26: 154-166 (2005); Saget, S. D. et al., Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med. 186: 857-865 (2012); Tsang, K. W. et al., Chest 117: 420-426 (2000).
Additional roles of the other proteases is emerging. See Hartl, D. et al., Nature Med. 13 : 1423-1430 (2007); Korkmaz, B. et al., Pharm. Rev. 62: 726-759 (2010).
Cigarette smoking is a significant risk factor for developing COPD. Exposure to cigarette smoke and other noxious particles and gases may result in chronic inflammation of the lung. In response to such exposure, inflammatory cells such as CD8+ T cells, macrophages, and neutrophils are recruited to the area. These recruited inflammatory cells release proteases, which are believed to play a major role in the disease etiology by a number of mechanisms. Proteases released from recruited cells include the serine proteases NE as above; granzymes A and B, released from cytotoxic T cells or natural killer cells; and chymases, released from mast cells. Cathepsin C appears to be involved in activating all of these enzymes to some extent.
A number of studies with cathepsin C deficient mice have suggested roles for cathepsin C in disease models. Cathepsin C knockout mice are resistant to lung airspace enlargement and inflammatory cell infiltration in both cigarette smoke and ozone exposure models of COPD. See Guay et al., Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2010, 10, 708- 716; See also Podolin et al. (2008), Inflammation Research, 57(Suppl 2) S104.
In a model of rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”), another chronic inflammatory disease where cathepsin C may play a role, neutrophils are recruited to the site of joint
inflammation and release cathepsin G, NE, and proteinase 3, which are believed to be responsible in part for cartilage destruction associated with RA (Hu, Y. and Pham, C. T. Arthritis Rheum. 52: 2553-2558 (2005); Zen, K. et al, Blood 117:4885-4894 (2011)). Other models where cathepsin C may play a role include osteoarthritis, asthma, Multiple Sclerosis, and Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody (ANCA)-related diseases (e.g. ANCA-associated vasculitis). See e.g. Matsui, K., Yuyama, N., Akaiwa, M., Yoshida, N. L., Maeda, M., Sugita, Y., Izuhara, K., Gene 293(1-2): 1-7 (2002); Wolters, P. J., Laig- Webster, M., Caughey, G. H., American Journal of Respiratory Cell & Molecular Biology 22(2): 183-90 (2000); Schreiber et al., J. Am. Soc. Nephrol. 23 :470-482 (2012). Cathepsin C has been demonstrated to have a role in neutrophil migration in the development of aortic aneurysms by a mechanism which has not been clearly elucidated (Pagano, M. B. et al., PNAS 104: 2855-2860 (2007)).
One approach to treating these conditions is to inhibit the activity of the serine proteases involved in the inflammatory process, especially NE activity. See e.g.,
Ohbayashi, Expert Opin. Investig. Drugs 11(7): 965-980 (2002); Shapiro, Am. J. Respir. Cell Mol. Biol. 26: 266-268 (2002). Indeed, a potent and selective inhibitor of NE was found to improve lung function in patients with bronchiectasis (Stockley, R. et al. Respir. Med. 107, 524-533 (2013)). In light of the role cathepsin C plays in activating certain serine proteases, especially NE, it is desirable to prepare compounds that inhibit its activity, which thereby inhibit serine protease activity. Thus, there is a need to identify compounds that inhibit cathepsin C, which can be used in the treatment of a variety of conditions mediated by cathepsin C.
There are additional activities of cathepsin C that may also be related to disease etiology. Cathepsin C is highly expressed in the lung epithelium where it may play a role in the processing of other enzymes not yet identified. Cathepsin C has also been reported to cleave kallikrein-4, which is believed to play a role in dental enamel maturation (Tye, C. E. et al. J. Dental Res. 88: 323-327 (2009)). Finally, cathepsin C is itself released from cells and may play a direct role in the degradation of matrix proteins.
