项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We are developing a novel small molecule cytoprotective drug for the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) following intravenous radiocontrast media (CM) injection. CIN is mediated principally by CM-induced vasoconstriction of the afferent renal arteriololes, resulting in antidiuresis and severely compromised renal blood flow. The consequent renal ischemia induces oxidative and nitrosative stress, in particular within the nucleus of the renal tubules where DNA single strand breakage occurs. When this genomic injury is then recognized by the nuclear DNA repair enzyme poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase ("PARP"), NAD is cleaved to generate the product poly(ADP-ribose). Hyperactivation of PARP after CM injection depletes NAD stores, resulting in the loss of oxidative phosphorylation and interference with ATP synthesis. To address this unmet need, we are developing a cell-permeable thioredoxin mimetic (R-901), a thiol-rich tripeptide that is closely analogous to the native thioredoxin (TRX) motif. R-901 exhibits in vitro potency 450- and 50-fold > than N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and ascorbic acid, respectively, and in vivo potency substantially greater than NAC. Therapeutic administration of R-901 has been shown in a murine model of pulmonary inflammation (induced by ovalbumin sensitization and re-challenge) to reduce histologic injury, diminish leukocytic infiltration, attenuate tissue oxidation, block pr-inflammatory cytokine expression and nuclear translocation of NF-kB, diminish the degradation of the anti-inflammatory cytoplasmic protein IkBalpha, and restore the balance of reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione. In a murine LD100 model of severe redox stress induced by acute Cl2 gas inhalation, post-insult administration of R-901 reduced pulmonary neutrophil infiltration by 50%. Based on its ultrapotent catalysis of redox stress, and the critical relevance of redox stress to the pathophysiology of CIN, we now propose to construct a pharmacodynamic profile of R-901 in a rat model of CIN induced by dehydration, prostaglandin synthetase inhibition, and an IV challenge of CM. A sham injury group will be compared to treatment of CM-challenged rats with NAC or R-901 (over a one log dose range) initiated prior to CM administration under conditions of dehydration or volume loading. At 24 hours plasma will be analyzed for renal function and biochemical, histologic, and immunohistochemical parameters of renal injury. Renal and plasma concentrations of R-901 will be compared to assess tissue R-901 uptake. We expect that level of exposure to R-901 will correlate with the extent of tissue protection, as manifested by renal levels of necrosis (histology), lipid peroxidation, neutrophil infiltration, apoptosis, necrosis, peroxynitrite and poly(ADP- ribose) formation, and serum concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin. The proposed studies will provide a rational foundation for advanced commercial development of R-901, with the intent that this product will serve as first-line prophylaxis in high-risk patients undergoing CM injection. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Radiocontrast imaging is an invaluable and frequently used diagnostic modality for but its use is complicated by the subsequent development of kidney injury, often to the extent of requiring dialysis, particularly in populations at greatest risk, suh as the elderly, diabetic, and those with preexisting renal impairment. There are no approved pharmaceutical therapies to prevent this complication. We are developing a novel prophylactic agent that protects the kidney from radiocontrast administration by directly protecting kidney cells from injury. We now propose to test this agent in a clinically-relevant small animal model of radiocontrast-induced kidney failure.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们正在开发一种新型的小分子细胞保护药物，用于预防静脉内放射线培养基（CM）注射后对比造影剂诱导的肾病（CIN）。 CIN主要是通过CM诱导的传入肾动脉溶液的血管收缩来介导的，导致抗多尿和严重损害的肾血流。随之而来的肾脏缺血诱导氧化和硝化应激，特别是在发生DNA单链破裂的肾小管核中。当这种基因组损伤被核DNA修复酶聚（ADP-核糖）聚合酶（“ PARP”）识别时，NAD被切割以生成乘积聚（ADP-核糖）。 CM注射后PARP的过度激活耗尽了NAD存储，导致氧化磷酸化损失并干扰ATP合成。为了满足这种未满足的需求，我们正在开发一种可渗透的硫氧还蛋白模拟物（R-901），这是一种与天然硫氧还蛋白（TRX）基序相似的富含硫醇三肽。 R-901分别比N-乙酰半胱氨酸（NAC）和抗坏血酸表现出450倍和50倍的体外效能，并且体内效力大大大于NAC。 R-901的治疗施用已在肺部炎症模型（由卵蛋白的敏感性和重新挑战诱导）中显示，以减少组织学损伤，减少白细胞浸润，减少组织组织氧化，减弱组织氧化，阻滞Pr炎性细胞因子表达和Nf-kb，Degrad degrad the degrad the degrad the degrad the degrad the degrad inf-kb，diminish degrad。细胞质蛋白ikbalpha，并恢复谷胱甘肽还原和氧化形式的平衡。在由急性CL2气体吸入引起的严重氧化还原应激的鼠LD100模型中，R-901的雾化后给药使肺嗜中性粒细胞浸润减少了50％。基于其对氧化还原应激的超能催化，以及氧化还原胁迫与CIN的病理生理学的关键相关性，我们现在建议在脱水，前列腺素合成酶抑制和CM的IV挑战中诱导的CIN中R-901的药效学特征。将在脱水或体积负荷条件下，将假损伤组与在CM给药之前启动的NAC或R-901（超过一个对数剂量范围）的CM挑战大鼠的治疗。 24小时时，血浆将进行肾功能以及肾损伤的生化，组织学和免疫组织化学参数的分析。将比较R-901的肾脏和血浆浓度，以评估组织R-901摄取。 We expect that level of exposure to R-901 will correlate with the extent of tissue protection, as manifested by renal levels of necrosis (histology), lipid peroxidation, neutrophil infiltration, apoptosis, necrosis, peroxynitrite and poly(ADP- ribose) formation, and serum concentrations of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin.拟议的研究将为R-901的高级商业开发提供合理的基础，目的是该产品将作为接受CM注射的高危患者的一线预防。公共卫生相关性：放射对比度成像是一种无价的且经常使用的诊断方式，但随后的肾脏损伤的发展使其使用变得复杂，通常是在需要透析的程度上，尤其是在最大风险的人群中，例如老年人，糖尿病患者，而糖尿病患者以及患有肾脏危害的人。没有批准的药物疗法可以防止这种并发症。我们正在开发一种新型的预防剂，该预防剂通过直接保护肾细胞免受损伤来保护肾脏免受放射性对比的给药。现在，我们建议在与临床上相关的小动物模型中测试该药物放射性对称性引起的肾衰竭。
