Abstract:
OBJECTIVECerebral vasospasm (VS) is a severe complication of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Urotensin II (UII) is a potent vasoactive peptide activating the urotensin (UT) receptor, potentially involved in brain vascular pathologies. The authors hypothesized that UII/UT system antagonism with the UT receptor antagonist/biased ligand urantide may be associated with post-SAH VS. The objectives of this study were 2-fold: 1) to leverage an experimental mouse model of SAH with VS in order to study the effect of urotensinergic system antagonism on neurological outcome, and 2) to investigate the association between plasma UII level and symptomatic VS after SAH in human patients.METHODSA mouse model of SAH was used to study the impacts of UII and the UT receptor antagonist/biased ligand urantide on VS and neurological outcome. Then a clinical study was conducted in the setting of a neurosurgical intensive care unit. Plasma UII levels were measured in SAH patients daily for 9 days, starting on the 1st day of hospitalization, and were compared with plasma UII levels in healthy volunteers.RESULTSIn the mouse model, urantide prevented VS as well as SAH-related fine motor coordination impairment. Seventeen patients with SAH and external ventricular drainage were included in the clinical study. The median plasma UII level was 43 pg/ml (IQR 14–80 pg/ml). There was no significant variation in the daily median plasma UII level (median value for the 17 patients) from day 0 to day 8. The median level of plasma UII during the 9 first days post-SAH was higher in patients with symptomatic VS than in patients without VS (77 pg/ml [IQR 33.5–111.5 pg/ml] vs 37 pg/ml [IQR 21–46 pg/ml], p < 0.05). Concerning daily measures of plasma UII levels in VS, non-VS patients, and healthy volunteers, we found a significant difference between SAH patients with VS (median 66 pg/ml [IQR 30–110 pg/ml]) and SAH patients without VS (27 pg/ml [IQR 15–46 pg/ml], p < 0.001) but no significant difference between VS patients and healthy volunteers (44 pg/ml [IQR 27–51 pg/ml]) or between non-VS patients and healthy volunteers.CONCLUSIONSThe results of this study suggest that UT receptor antagonism with urantide prevents VS and improves neurological outcome after SAH in mice and that an increase in plasma UII is associated with cerebral VS subsequent to SAH in humans. The causality link between circulating UII and VS after SAH remains to be established, but according to our data the UT receptor is a potential therapeutic target in SAH.

Abstract:
Les pyrrolodiazépinones ont des activités biologiques intéressantes sur différents récepteurs biologiques, ce qui en font une cible de choix pour développer de nouvelles petites molécules biologiquement actives. Une méthodologie en solution a été développée pour synthétiser des pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones, qui utilise la réaction de Pictet-Spengler pour former le cycle diazépinone, comme réaction clé. Il a été démontré que le pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-one mime un tour-γ inverse par l’analyse de cristaux par rayon X. Cette méthodologie a été transposée sur trois types de support, soit la résine de Merrifield, de Wang et un support soluble (TAP). Le système urotensinergétique joue un rôle dans certaines pathologies du système cardiovasculaire, comme l’hypertension artérielle, l’insuffisance cardiaque et l’athérosclérose. Le système urotensinergétique est exprimé dans le système circulatoire, extractoire et le système nerveux central et comprend l’UII, l’URP et le récepteur UT. L’UII et l’URP humains sont composés respectivement des séquences d’acides aminés : H-Glu-Thr-Pro-Asp-c[Cys-Phe-Trp-Lys-Tyr-Cys]-Val-OH et H-Ala-c[Cys-Phe-Trp-LysTyr-Cys]-Val-OH. L’UII est le peptide vasoconstricteur le plus puissant connu à ce jour, dont l’URP est son isoforme. Les deux peptides ont des effets biologiques différents et on peut supposer qu’ils jouent un rôle distinct dans certaines pathologies. Il a été démontré que la partie active de l’UII est composée du tripeptide : Trp-Lys-Tyr. Dans l’URP, il a été démontré que ce tripeptide forme un tour-γ inverse, ce qui fait du récepteur UT une bonne cible biologique pour tester une librairie de pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones, reprenant le tripeptide Trp-Lys-Tyr. Dernièrement, l’équipe du professeur David Chatenet a mis au point un peptide, l’urocontrin en remplaçant le segment Trp par un groupement biphénylalanine, qui a démontré un comportement spécifique comme antagoniste du récepteur UT. La Librairie de pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones est basée sur la séquence TrpLys-Tyr de l’UII et de l’URP et de la séquence Trp-Lys-Bip de l’urocontrin. La synthèse de la librairie est faite sur la résine de Wang. La chaîne latérale de Tyr est mimée en utilisant la tyramine, Lys et Orn sont utilisés et la chaîne latérale de Trp a été reproduite II en utilisant le biphényle (comme dans l’urocontrin), le 1-naphthyle et le 2-naphthyle, sont introduits en employant les aldéhydes respectifs dans la réaction de Pictet-Spengler, ce qui donne les pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones insaturés et les saturés S- et R-. L’évaluation de l’activité biologique des pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones obtenues sur le récepteur UT se fait par des tests in vitro et ex vivo. Les tests in vitro consistent en un essai de liaisons sur des cellules CHO exprimant le récepteur UT en employant hUII-125I, comme contrôle radiomarqé. Les tests ex vivo sont effectués sur des aortes de rats pour mesurer la capacité à induire des contractions ou de moduler les contractions induites par hUII et URP. Certains R-pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones causent une réduction de 50% du signal radioactivité du hUII-125I. Les pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones ne montrent guère d’activité ex vivo, mais ils ont la capacité de moduler les contractions induites par l’hUII et l’URP. Par exemple, l’analogue Lys R-saturé avec le biphényle inhibe toutes les contractions de l’aorte à 14 µM avec un pKb de 5,54 à 4 µM, sans influencer les contractions de l’aorte induites par l’URP. Les pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones ont une sélectivité pour le système urotensinergétique et sont inactifs sur le récepteur de l’endotheline-1. Les pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazépin-2-ones sont les premières petites molécules qui peuvent moduler l’activité biologique de l’UII et URP et offrir un potentiel intéressant comme outil pour étudier le système urotensinergétique.
The pyrrolodiazepinones have interesting biological activities on various biological receptors, which makes them a prime target for developing new biologically active small molecules. A methodology in solution had been developed for synthesizing pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones, which utilized the Pictet-Spengler condensation as the key reaction to form the diazepinone ring. Pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones were found to mimic an inverse γ-turn conformation by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The methodology was subsequently implemented on three types of support: Merrifield resin, Wang resin and the soluble TAP support. The urotensinergic system plays a role in certain diseases of the cardiovascular system, such as hypertension, heart failure and atherosclerosis. The urotensinergic system is expressed in the circulatory system, excretory and central nervous systems and includes the endogenous ligands urotensin II (UII) and urotensin II-related peptide (URP), and the urotensin receptor UT. The ligands UII and human URP are composed of the respective amino acid sequences: H-Glu-Thr-Pro-Asp-c[Cys-Phe-Trp-Lys-Tyr-Cys]-Val-OH and H-Ala-c[Cys-Phe-Lys-Tyr-Trp-Cys]-Val-OH. The peptide UII is the most potent vasoconstrictor known to date. The two peptides have different biological effects and may exhibit distinct roles in certain diseases. Their common Trp-Lys-Tyr sequence is believed to play an important role in the activity of UII and URP, and has been suggested to adopt an inverse γ-turn conformation. Notably, the laboratory of Professor David Chatenet developed the UT receptor antagonist peptide urocontrin by replacing the Trp residue by biphenylalanine (Bip) in URP. A library of pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one analogs was thus designed to mimic the inverse γ-turn sequence and targeted against UT. The pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one library was designed based on the Trp-Lys-Tyr sequence of UII and URP, and Trp-Lys-Bip sequence of urocontrin. The synthesis of the pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-one library was achieved on Wang resin. The side chain of Tyr was mimicked using tyramine, Lys and Orn were used as the basic amino acid component, and the side chain of Trp was replicated using biphenyl (as in urocontrin) 1-naphthyl and 2-naphthyl groups that were introduced by employing their respective aldehydes in a Pictet-Spengler reaction, which furnished unsaturated and saturated S- and R-pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones. Evaluation of the biological activity of the pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones on the UT receptor was performed in vitro and ex vivo. Tests in vitro measured binding in CHO-cells which expressed UT by employing hUII-125I as radiolabeled control. In rat aorta, ex vivo tests measured capacity to induce contraction, or modulate the contractions induced by hUII and URP. Certain R-pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones caused an up to 50% reduction of the radioactive signal of hUII-125I. Pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones exhibited little activity ex vivo; however, they modulated contractions induced by hUII and URP. For example, the saturated R-analog possessing lysine and a biphenyl side chain inhibited completely hUII-induced contractions of the aorta at 14 µM with a pKb of 5.54 at 4 µM, without influencing URP-induced contractions. Pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones were selective for the urotensinergic system and inactive on the related receptor endothelin-1. Pyrrolo[3,2-e][1,4]diazepin-2-ones represent the first small molecules that can differently modulate the biological activities of UII and URP, and offer interesting potential as tools for studying the urotensinergic system.
