Delving into the Latest Updates on Vercirnon Sodium with Synapse

This is an open-label, parallel group, single and repeat dose pharmacokinetic (PK) study in healthy male and female subjects. This study will confirm the PK and safety profile in Chinese subjects. GSK1605786 is currently in clinical development for the treatment of Crohn's disease. Subjects will receive one of two GSK1605786 doses (500 mg once daily or 500mg twice daily) within 30 minutes after a meal. The study will consist of single and repeat dose sessions, with pre-dose and serial PK samples taken up to 72-h post-dose.

A Randomised, Double-blind, Active Treatment Study to Induce Clinical Response and/or Remission With GSK1605786A in Subjects With Moderately-to-Severely Active Crohn's Disease

This is a multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, active treatment, parallel group induction study in subjects with moderately-to-severely active Crohn's disease. Subjects will receive one of two doses (500 milligrams once daily, 500 milligrams twice daily) of GSK1605786A for 12 weeks. The primary objective of the study is to induce clinical response (Crohn's Disease Activity Index [CDAI] decrease from baseline of at least 100 points) and/or remission (CDAI score less than 150) with GSK1605786A at Week 12 in subjects with active Crohn's disease to qualify subjects for enrolment into a 52 week maintenance study (CCX114157). Secondary objectives will include assessment of the safety and evaluation of the efficacy in induction of clinical response or remission. Safety will be assessed by recording of adverse events and assessment of changes in clinical laboratory parameters, vital signs and electrocardiogram. Population pharmacokinetics will evaluate the two doses of GSK1605786A. Health outcomes assessments will include changes in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire, SF-36, EQ-5D, and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment-Crohn's Disease.

Abstract:

A conserved intracellular allosteric binding site (IABS) has recently been identified at several G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs). Starting from vercirnon, an intracellular C−C chemokine receptor type 9 (CCR9) antagonist and previous phase III clinical candidate for the treatment of Crohn's disease, we developed a chemical biology toolbox targeting the IABS of CCR9. We first synthesized a fluorescent ligand enabling equilibrium and kinetic binding studies via NanoBRET as well as fluorescence microscopy. Applying this molecular tool in a membrane‐based setup and in living cells, we discovered a 4‐aminopyrimidine analogue as a new intracellular CCR9 antagonist with improved affinity. To chemically induce CCR9 degradation, we then developed the first PROTAC targeting the IABS of GPCRs. In a proof‐of‐principle study, we succeeded in showing that our CCR9‐PROTAC is able to reduce CCR9 levels, thereby offering an unprecedented approach to modulate GPCR activity.

The role of the CCL25-CCR9 axis in beta-cell function: potential for therapeutic intervention in type 2 diabetes

Q1 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Huang, Guo Cai ; Lee, Vivian ; Persaud, Shanta J ; Atanes, Patricio

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:

Chemokines are known to play essential roles mediating immunity and inflammation in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, with reports linking their action to the development of obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Given our findings of highly upregulated mRNA expression of the chemokine receptor CCR9 in islets from obese human donors, we have determined the effects of CCR9 activation by CCL25 on islet function and viability.

BASIC PROCEDURES:

RT-qPCR was used to measure expression of 384 GPCR mRNAs in human islets from organ donors with normal and elevated BMI. mRNA encoding CCR9, a receptor that was highly upregulated in islets from obese donors, was also quantified in islets from lean and high-fat diet (HFD) mice. The effects of CCR9 activation by exogenous CCL25 in human and mouse islets and its inhibition by the CCR9 antagonist vercirnon on insulin secretion, apoptosis and cAMP accumulation were examined using standard techniques.

MAIN FINDINGS:

The qPCR analysis showed altered expression of several GPCRs in islets isolated from lean and obese donors. CCR9 displayed over 90-fold upregulation in islets from obese individuals, and it was also significantly upregulated in islets from obese mice. In isolated human and mouse islets exogenous CCL25 inhibited glucose-induced insulin secretion in a concentration-dependent manner, enhanced cytokine-induced apoptosis and significantly reduced forskolin-induced elevation in cAMP levels. These detrimental effects of CCL25 in islets were blocked by vercirnon, which had no effect on its own.

PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS:

We have shown that CCL25 acts via the Gαi-coupled receptor CCR9 to impair beta-cell function by inhibiting insulin secretion and promoting cytokine-induced apoptosis. Upregulation of CCR9 in islets in obesity, possibly secondary to accumulation of passenger immune cells, may predispose to metabolic dysfunction and our data suggest that CCL25 downregulation or CCR9 inhibition could be explored to treat T2D.

Structural Basis for Allosteric Ligand Recognition in the Human CC Chemokine Receptor 7

The CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) balances immunity and tolerance by homeostatic trafficking of immune cells. In cancer, CCR7-mediated trafficking leads to lymph node metastasis, suggesting the receptor as a promising therapeutic target. Here, we present the crystal structure of human CCR7 fused to the protein Sialidase NanA by using data up to 2.1 Å resolution. The structure shows the ligand Cmp2105 bound to an intracellular allosteric binding pocket. A sulfonamide group, characteristic for various chemokine receptor ligands, binds to a patch of conserved residues in the Gi protein binding region between transmembrane helix 7 and helix 8. We demonstrate how structural data can be used in combination with a compound repository and automated thermal stability screening to identify and modulate allosteric chemokine receptor antagonists. We detect both novel (CS-1 and CS-2) and clinically relevant (CXCR1-CXCR2 phase-II antagonist Navarixin) CCR7 modulators with implications for multi-target strategies against cancer.
