Breathing brief, moderate bouts of low oxygen trigger (low oxygen therapy, LOT) spinal plasticity (the ability of the nervous system to strengthen neural pathways based on new experiences), and improve walking after spinal cord injury (SCI). The greatest improvements in walking ability occur when LOT is administered prior to skill-based walking practice (WALK). However, the enduring benefits of LOT on walking recovery may be undermined by the accumulation of LOT-induced increase in extracellular adenosine. The goal of the study is to understand the extent to which istradefylline (adenosine 2a receptor antagonist) may limit the competing mechanisms of adenosine on LOT-induced walking recovery following SCI.

A novel hypothesis‐generating computational workflow utilizing reverse pharmacophore mapping—A drug repurposing perspective of istradefylline towards major depressive disorder

Article

Author: Smith, Arnold Petrus ; van der Walt, Mietha Magdalena

Background and Purpose:

Drug repurposing (DR) offers a compelling alternative to traditional drug discovery's lengthy, resource‐intensive process. DR is the process of identifying alternative clinical applications for pre‐approved drugs as a low‐risk and low‐cost strategy. Computational approaches are crucial during the early hypothesis‐generating stage of DR. However, ‘large‐scale’ data retrieval remains a significant challenge. A computational workflow addressing such limitations might improve hypothesis generation, ultimately benefit patients and advance DR research.

Experimental Approach:

We introduce a novel computational workflow (combining free‐accessible computational platforms) to provide ‘proof‐of‐concept’ of the pre‐approved drug's suitability for repurposing. Three key phases are included: target fishing (via reverse pharmacophore mapping), target identification (via disease‐ and drug‐target pathway identification) and retrospective literature and drug‐like analysis (via in silico ADMET properties determination). Istradefylline is a Parkinson's disease‐approved drug with literature‐attributed antidepressant properties remaining unclear. Practically applied, istradefylline's antidepressant activity was assessed in the context of major depressive disorder (MDD).

Key Results:

Data mining aided by target identification resulted in istradefylline potentially representing a novel antidepressant drug class. Retrieved drug targets (KYNU, MAO‐B, ALOX12 and PLCB2) associated with selected MDD pathways (tryptophan metabolism and serotonergic synapse) generated a hypothesis that istradefylline increased extracellular 5‐HT levels (MAO‐B inhibition) and reduced inflammation (KYNU, ALOX12 and PLCB2 inhibition).

Conclusion and Implications:

The practically applied workflow's generated hypothesis aligns with known experimental data, validating the effectiveness of this novel computational workflow. It is a low‐risk and low‐cost DR computational tool providing a bird's‐eye view for exploring alternative clinical applications of pre‐approved drugs.

Select terpenes from Cannabis sativa are antinociceptive in mouse models of post-operative pain and fibromyalgia via adenosine A2a receptors

Article

Author: Streicher, John M ; Welborn, Alyssa M ; Schwarz, Abigail M ; Seekins, Caleb A

BACKGROUND:

Terpenes from Cannabis show promise for pain management. Our lab found that the terpenes geraniol, linalool, β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene relieve chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy via Adenosine A_2a receptors (A_2aR). This suggests terpenes as potential non-opioid, non-cannabinoid therapeutics. In this study, we investigated post-operative and fibromyalgia pain, expanding potential terpene applications to different pain types.

METHODS:

Male and female CD-1 mice had their baseline mechanical sensitivity measured via von Frey filaments and underwent either paw incision surgery or reserpine-induced fibromyalgia (0.32 mg/kg, sc). After pain was established, the mice received 200 mg/kg ip of a terpene, and their mechanical sensitivity was measured over three hours. To determine the potential mechanism of action, mice were given the A_2aR antagonist istradefylline (3.2 mg/kg, ip) 10 min before terpene, with mechanical sensitivity measured after. Hot plate pain testing was performed as a control.

RESULTS:

Terpene treatment caused time-dependent elevation of the mechanical thresholds of the mice from both pain models, strongest for geraniol, then linalool or α-humulene, indicating that these four terpenes are anti-nociceptive in post-surgical and fibromyalgia pain. Pretreatment with istradefylline blocked antinociception, suggesting the terpenes act via the A_2aR in these pain models. Terpenes had no effect on hot plate latencies, ruling out non-specific motor effects.

CONCLUSIONS:

These results demonstrate that the terpenes geraniol, linalool, β-caryophyllene, and α-humulene may be a viable medication for post-operative and fibromyalgia pain relief. Their mechanism of action via the A_2aR furthers our knowledge of its importance in pain processing and as a target of terpene drugs.

Comparative Safety of Istradefylline Among Parkinson Disease Adjunctive Therapies: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Studies

Review

Author: Mitchell, Stephen ; Qian, Joyce ; Shimoda, Hiroo ; Pagan, Fernando ; Torres-Yaghi, Yasar ; Batson, Sarah ; Cummings, Hannah ; Ito, Satoru

Introduction:

Adjunctive therapies to treat OFF episodes resulting from long-term levodopa treatment in Parkinson disease (PD) are hampered by safety and tolerability issues. Istradefylline offers an alternative mechanism (adenosine A2A receptor antagonist) and therefore potentially improved tolerability.

Methods:

A systematic review of PD adjuncts published in 2011 was updated to include randomized controlled trials published from January 1, 2010–April 15, 2019. Pairwise meta-analyses were updated, and Bucher indirect comparisons were used to generate estimates of relative safety, presented as odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for comparators versus istradefylline.

Results:

Fifty-seven randomized controlled trials involving 11,517 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Relative to istradefylline, dopamine agonists and catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) inhibitors had statistically significant higher odds of dyskinesia and somnolence. Monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors had significantly higher odds of hypotension. Amantadine extended-release (ER) had statistically significant higher odds of hallucination, orthostatic hypotension, insomnia, and withdrawals due to adverse events. All interventions combined had significantly higher odds of dyskinesia versus istradefylline 20 mg and somnolence versus istradefylline 40 mg. Considering overall incidence of adverse events, COMT inhibitors and amantadine ER had statistically significant higher odds versus both istradefylline doses (COMT versus istradefylline 40 mg, OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.75; versus istradefylline 20 mg, OR: 1.32; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.72; amantadine ER versus istradefylline 40 mg, OR: 3.45; 95% CI: 1.85, 6.25; versus istradefylline 20 mg, OR: 3.33; 95% CI: 1.82, 6.25).

Conclusion:

Istradefylline was associated with a generally favorable safety profile relative to other adjunct medications in this study.

Enrollment Completed for Phase 2 Clinical Trial Evaluating VG081821AC for the Treatment of Parkinson's Disease

HANGZHOU, China, Aug. 15, 2024. Vimgreen Pharmaceuticals, a science-driven pharmaceutical company focused on the modulation of adenosine signaling, announced today the completion of enrollment of its Phase 2 clinical trial of VG081821AC, a novel adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) antagonist that also functions as an inverse A2AR agonist, for the treatment of early-to-mid stage Parkinson's disease. A total of 150 participants have been enrolled and randomized into one of three cohorts, a high-dose VG081821 group, a low-dose VG081821 group, and a placebo group at a ratio of 1:1:1. The 12-week Phase 2 trial is a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study to investigate the safety and efficacy of VG081821 as monotherapy in early-to-mid stage PD patients. The primary endpoint was the difference of change from baseline in movement disorder society-unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (MDS-UPDRS) part III (motor symptoms) score between VG081821 and placebo over the 12 weeks of administration. For PD patients, current therapies are mainly dependent on dopamine replacement strategies with L-Dopa (top choice), dopamine agonists, MAO-B inhibitors and COMT inhibitors. These medicines either increase dopamine levels or mimic dopamine function. However, despite L-Dopa's efficacy in reducing the motor symptoms of PD, the onset of motor complications (wearing-off, ON–OFF, dyskinesia) is almost inevitable with long-term treatment. It is a well-known limit of the dopamine replacement therapy. In addition, the current therapies for PD are only symptomatic treatments. These therapies are unable to slow down the progression of PD. As an A2AR antagonist, which works non-dopaminergically, VG081821 has the potential to avoid, decrease or delay motor complications (wearing-off, ON–OFF, dyskinesia) if used early. What's special about VG081821 is that it is not only a highly potent A2A antagonist, but also a highly potent A2A receptor inverse agonist. More than a classical A2A antagonist, VG081821 may have extra therapeutic effect and greater efficacy on motor dysfunction in PD. Furthermore, VG081821 may provide not only symptomatic benefits, but also disease modifying benefits. VG081821 is expected to bring better treatment options and clinical benefits for PD patients. "In most previous trials of A2A antagonists for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease, A2A antagonists were used as an add-on treatment to alleviate off episodes in combination with L-Dopa for advanced PD patients. Although it has led to the approval of Istradefylline in US and Japan, it is not the best use of A2A antagonists for PD treatment," stated Sanxing Sun, President and Chief Executive Officer of Vimgreen. "VG081821 is to be used as monotherapy for improving movements in early-to-mid stage of PD. Later on, as the disease progresses, it can be used in combination with low doses of L-Dopa. This L-dopa sparing effect may minimize the problem of L-Dopa and prolong the quality of life of PD patients." It is known that A2AR gene expression in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are higher for PD patients. In the current Phase 2 trial of VG081821, the A2AR gene expression levels in PBMCs are to be analyzed. The potential correlation between drug efficacy and A2AR expression level may make VG081821 a precision medicine. The Phase 2 trial is to be completed in November. About VG081821AC VG081821AC/VG081821 is a potent, selective antagonist of adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) developed by Vimgreen. Adenosine A2A receptors are distributed across basal ganglia, in particular in the striatum, and are believed to be involved in the regulation of motor functions. This makes A2AR an attractive non-dopaminergic target to treat the disease. VG081821 is an innovative A2AR antagonist that is not only a highly potent A2A antagonist, but also a highly potent A2A receptor inverse agonist. It is expected to bring better treatment options and clinical benefits for PD patients. About Vimgreen Pharmaceuticals Vimgreen is a science-driven pharmaceutical company located in the beautiful city of Hangzhou, China. At Vimgreen, the research programs are focused on the modulation of adenosine signaling. Adenosine is a major signaling molecule that is involved in a variety of critical physiological processes via activation of the adenosine receptors (A1, A2A, A2B or A3), including regulation of the nervous system, immune response, vascular function, and metabolism. In recent years, substantial progress has been made to understand the role of adenosine signaling in different pathologies during disease progression. These efforts have identified therapeutic possibilities for the treatment of various diseases, by either replenishing or inhibiting relevant adenosine signaling pathways. Currently Vimgreen has two compounds in clinical development. One is VG081821, an A2AR antagonist for the treatment of Parkinson's Disease. The other compound is VG290131, an A3 agonist for the treatment of NASH.

Kyowa Kirin to Present a Safety Meta-Analysis of NOURIANZ® (istradefylline) and Other Parkinson's Disease Add-On Therapies

Findings to be presented at 2024 American Academy of Neurology annual conference between April 13-18 in Denver, CO PRINCETON, N.J., April 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyowa Kirin, Inc., an affiliate of Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (Kyowa Kirin, TSE: 4151), a global specialty pharmaceutical company based in Japan, will announce findings from an updated systematic literature review (SLR) and meta-analysis comparing the safety of NOURIANZ® (istradefylline) in relation to other levodopa adjunctive therapies for patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD).1,2 NOURIANZ is an adenosine receptor antagonist used with levodopa/carbidopa to treat adults with PD experiencing "off" episodes, the return of Parkinson's symptoms between medication doses. The findings will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) 2024 Annual Meeting, during a poster presentation on Monday, April 15, from 5:30 – 6:30 PM MDT. Parkinson's disease is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, slow movement, and postural instability. Within 5 years of starting levodopa/carbidopa treatment, half of people living with PD begin to experience "off" time, including problems with movement.3 Adjunctive therapies may be used to treat these episodes but are often hampered by safety and tolerability issues that limit their clinical utility.1 "With the growing landscape of adjunctive therapies for Parkinson's disease, it is important for physicians to have data that demonstrates the relative risk profiles of these treatment options," said lead author Yasar Torres-Yaghi, MD, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital. "These data provide useful information on safety and tolerability of these therapies, an important factor for physicians when choosing an appropriate adjunctive therapy for patients experiencing "off" episodes." About the Study Researchers updated a previously published SLR with an additional 20 randomized controlled trials from Jan 1, 2010, to April 15, 2019, evaluating adjunctive therapies in patients with PD. The study analyzed data from a total of 57 randomized clinical trials involving 11,517 patients. Interventions included COMT inhibitors, monoamine oxidase type B (MAO-B) inhibitors, dopamine agonists (DAs), istradefylline, and amantadine ER. A pair-wise meta-analysis was conducted to calculate summary odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). Bucher indirect comparisons were used to generate estimates of relative safety, and information on study design, eligibility criteria, and baseline characteristics were extracted for heterogeneity assessment. About NOURIANZ® NOURIANZ is an adenosine receptor antagonist indicated as an adjunctive treatment to levodopa/carbidopa in adult patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experiencing "off" episodes. It is not known if istradefylline is safe and effective in children.4 Important Safety Information Warnings and Precautions Dyskinesia: NOURIANZ in combination with levodopa may cause dyskinesia or exacerbate pre-existing dyskinesia. In clinical trials, 1% of patients treated with either NOURIANZ 20 mg or 40 mg discontinued treatment because of dyskinesia, compared to 0% for placebo. Hallucinations / Psychotic Behavior: Because of the potential risk of exacerbating psychosis, patients with a major psychotic disorder should not be treated with NOURIANZ. Consider dosage reduction or discontinuation if a patient develops hallucinations or psychotic behaviors while taking NOURIANZ. Impulse Control / Compulsive Behaviors: Patients treated with NOURIANZ and one or more medication(s) for the treatment of Parkinson's disease (including levodopa) may experience intense urges to gamble, increased sexual urges, intense urges to spend money, binge or compulsive eating, and/or other intense urges, and the inability to control these urges. In clinical trials, 1 patient treated with NOURIANZ 40 mg was reported to have impulse control disorder, compared to no patient on NOURIANZ 20 mg or placebo. DRUG INTERACTIONS The maximum recommended dosage in patients taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors is 20 mg once daily. Avoid use of NOURIANZ with strong CYP3A4 inducers. SPECIAL POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, may cause fetal harm. ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions with an incidence ≥5% and occurring more frequently than with placebo were dyskinesia (15%, 17%, and 8%), dizziness (3%, 6%, and 4%), constipation (5%, 6%, and 3%), nausea (4%, 6%, and 5%), hallucination (2%, 6%, and 3%), and insomnia (1%, 6%, and 4%) for NOURIANZ 20 mg, 40 mg, and placebo, respectively.
