Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) disease is a fatal metabolic disorder characterized by the lysosomal accumulation of cholesterol. Although 2-hydroxypropyl beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) promotes the excretion of cholesterol and prolongs the life span in animal models of NPC disease, it requires extremely high dose. We developed acid-labile beta-CD-based polyrotaxanes (PRXs) comprising multiple beta-CDs threaded along a polymer chain capped with acid-cleavable stopper molecules for potentiating therapeutic efficacy of beta-CD in NPC disease. The acid-labile PRXs dissociate under the acidic lysosomes and release threaded beta-CDs in lysosomes, which promotes cholesterol excretion in NPC disease model cells at lower concentration than HP-beta-CD. In this study, the therapeutic effect of the PRXs in a mouse model of NPC disease was investigated. Weekly administration of the PRXs significantly prolonged the life span and suppressed neurodegeneration in mice, even at a dose of 500 mg/kg, a markedly lower dose than previously reported for HP-beta-CD. Detailed analysis of tissue cholesterol revealed that PRX treatment markedly suppressed the tissue accumulation of cholesterol in the NPC mouse model, but did not alter cholesterol content in wild-type mice. Acid-labile PRX is therefore a promising candidate for potentiating the efficacy of beta-CD in the treatment of NPC disease.
