Description

WD 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 Modulators of Proteins with Phosphotyrosine Recognition Units Field of the Invention The present invention relates to novel protein tyrosine phosphatase modulating compounds, to methods for their preparation, to compositions comprising the compounds, to their use for treatment of human and animal disorders, to their use for purification of proteins or glycoproteins, and to their use in diagnosis. The invention relates to modulation of the activity of molecules with phosphotyrosine recognition units, including protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) and proteins with Srchomology-2 domains, in in vitro systems, microorganisms, eukaryoic cells, whole animals and human beings.
Background of the Invention Reversible phosphorylation of proteins is a prevalent biological mechanism for modulation of enzymatic activity in living organisms. Tonks et al., J. Biol. Chem., 263(14):6722-30 (1988). Such reversible phosphorylation requires both a protein kinase to phosphorylate a protein at a particular amino acid residue, and a protein phosphatase to remove the phosphate moieties. See generally, Hunter, Cell, 80:225-236 (1995). Recently, it has been estimated that humans have as many as 2000 conventional PK genes, and as many as 1000 PP genes. Id.
One major class of PK's/PP's the protein serine/threonine kinases and protein serine/threonine phosphatases have been shown to play critical roles in the regulation of metabolism. See generally, Cohen, Trends Biochem. Sci., 17:408-413 (1992); Shenolikar, Ann. Rev. Cell Biol., 10:55-86 (1994); Bollen et al., Crit. Rev.
Biochem. Mol. Biol., 27:227-81 (1992). As their name suggests, these enzymes phosphorylate and dephoshphorylate serine or threonine residues of substrate WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 2 proteins. Inhibitors of protein serine/threonine phosphatases and kinases have been described. See, MacKintosh and MacKintosh, TIBS, 19:444-448 (1994).
The protein tyrosine kinases/phosphatases comprise a second, distinct family of PK/PP enzymes of significant interest, and have been implicated in the control of normal and neoplastic cell growth and proliferation. See Fisher et al., Science, 253:401-406 (1991). Protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) genes are ancient in evolutionary origin and share a high degree of inter-species conservation. See generally Hunter and Cooper, Ann. Rev. Biochem., 54:897-930 (1985). PTK enzymes exhibit high specificity for tyrosine, and ordinarily do not phosphorylate serine, threonine, or hydroxyproline.
More than 75 members of the PTPase family have been identified in eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and even viruses. Tonks and Neel, Cell 87:365-368. Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) were originally identified and purified from cell and tissue lysates using a variety of artificial substrates, and therefore their natural functions and substrates were not obvious. However, their roles in cellular processes, including cell-cell contact and cell adhesion, and growth factor and antigen signaling events, have begun to be elucidated.
PTPases are generally grouped into two categories: those which have both an extracellular domain and an intracellular catalytic domain, the receptor PTPases (R- PTPases); and those which are entirely intracellular. For R-PTPases much effort has been directed at determining the function of the extracellular domain. Most of the R- PTPases contain extracellular domains which are structurally similar to domains found in known adhesion molecules; these domains include fibronectin type III repeats, immunoglobulin domains, and cadherin extracellular repeats. See generally Brady-Kalnay and Tonks, Curr. Opin. Cell. Biol. 7:650-657 (1995); Streuli, Curr.
Opin. Cell. Biol. 8:182-188 (1996). This homology with proteins known to be involved in adhesion suggested a role for these R-PTPases in regulating or mediating adhesion events. For several of the R-PTPases, this has now been demonstrated.
WO 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 3 Cells form specialized structures at the sites of cell-cell contact (adherens junctions) and cell-extracellular matrix contact (focal adhesion). Multiple signal transduction molecules are recruited to these sites, including several PTK's; and these sites are characterized by increased protein tyrosine phosphorylation. These sites are impermanent, and are created and destroyed as required for cell mobility. As enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation is characteristic of the formation of adherens junctions and focal adhesions, it is likely that protein tyrosine dephosphorylation by PTPases serves to regulate the creation and destruction of the sites. Supporting this, several studies have shown that treatment with a general PTPase inhibitor (vanadate) resulted in increased focal adhesion formation and increased cell spreading. Volberg et al., The EMBO J. 11:1733-1742 (1992); Bennett et al., J. Cell Sci. 106:891-901 (1993). Importantly, the broadly-expressed LAR R-PTPase has been demonstrated to localize to focal adhesions, apparently via the LAR-interacting protein LIP. 1. Serra- Pages et al., The EMBO J. 14:2827-2838 (1995). As PTP5 and PTPo, both R- PTPases, also associate with LIP.1 [Pulido et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 92:11686- 11690 (1995)], it is likely that these two phosphatases can also localize to focal adhesions. Most significantly, LAR only localized to the portion of the focal adhesion which is proximal to the nucleus, and is thought to be undergoing disassembly. Thus it is likely that these phosphatases act to negatively regulate focal adhesion formation, acting to enhance the destruction of the focal adhesion site.
R-PTPases may also act to positively regulate adhesion. Adherens junctions contain, among others, adhesion receptors termed cadherins which mediate cell-cell contact through homophilic binding; the cadherins associate with and ycatenins, intracellular proteins which interact with cortical actin. Association between cadherins and catenins serves to stabilize the adherens junction and to strengthen cellcell contact. See generally Cowin, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91:10759-10761 (1994).
Association of cadherin with p-catenin is decreased by tyrosine phosphorylation of pcatenin [Kinch et J. Cell. Biol. 130:461-471 (1995); Behrens et al., J. Cell. Biol.
120:757-766 (1993)]; moreover, treatment with the PTPase inhibitor vanadate inhibits WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 4 cadherin-dependent adhesion [Matsuyoshi et al., J. Cell. Biol. 118:703-714 (1992)].
Collectively, these data indicate that PTPase activity is critical in maintaining cadherin-mediated cell aggregation. The R-PTPases PTPR and PTPI associate intracellularly with cadherins, and colocalize with cadherins and catenins to adherens junctions [Brady-Kalnay et al., J. Cell. Biol. 130:977-986 (1995); Fuchs et al., J. Biol.
Chem. 271:16712-16719 (1996)]; thus PTP4l and PTPK are likely to enhance cadherin function by limiting catenin phosphorylation.
In addition to their catalytic function in regulating adhesion events, several R- PTPases have direct roles in mediating adhesion through their extracellular domains.
PTPK and PTPp mediate cellular aggregation through homophilic binding [Brady- Kalnay et al., J. Cell. Biol. 122:961-972 (1993); Gebbink et al., J. Biol. Chem.
268:16101-16104 (1993); Sap et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 14:1-9 (1994)]. The neuronal PTP (which has also been called R-PTPP) binds to contactin, a neuronal cell recognition molecule; binding of PTP( to contactin increases cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Peles et al., Cell 82:251-260 (1995). A secreted splice variant of PTP (also known as phosphacan) binds the extracellular matrix protein tenascin [Barnea et al. J Biol. Chem. 269:14349-14352 (1994)], and the neural cell adhesion molecules N-CAM and Ng-CAM [Maurel et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91:2512-2516 (1994)]. As the expression of PTP is restricted to radial glial cells in the developing central nervous system, which are though to form barriers to neuronal migration during embryogenesis, it is likely that the interaction of PTP( with contactin, tenascin, N-CAM, and/or Ng-CAM acts to regulate neuronal migration. This has been demonstrated for a related R-PTPase, DLAR, in Drosophila [Krueger et al. Cell 84:611-622 (1996)].
Because tyrosine phosphorylation by PTK enzymes usually is associated with cell proliferation, cell transformation and cell differentiation, it was assumed that PTPases were also associated with these events. For several of the intracellular PTPases, this function has now been verified.
WO 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 SHP1 (which has also been called SHPTP1, SHP, HCP, and PTP-1C [see Adachi et al., Cell 85:15 an intracellular PTPase which contains two aminoterminal phosphotyrosyl binding Src Homology 2 (SH2) domains followed by the catalytic PTPase domain, has been demonstrated to be an important negative regulator of growth factor signaling events. See generally Tonks and Neel, supra; Streuli, supra. In mice, loss of SHP1 function (the motheaten and viable motheaten phenotypes) causes multiple hematopoietic defects resulting in immunodeficiency and severe autoimmunity; culminating in lethality by 2-3 weeks or 2-3 months depending on the severity of SHPI deficiency. Although these mice have reduced numbers of hematopoietic cells, suggesting defects in development and maturation, those cells which survive and enter the periphery are characterized by hyper-responsiveness to growth factors and antigen. This observation suggested a role for SHPI in negative regulation of hematopoietic signaling events.
This has now been well-established for the erythropoietin receptor (EpoR), a member of the cytokine receptor family (which also includes the receptors for interleukins 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7; granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor, and macrophage colony stimulating factor). SHPI associates via its SH2 domains with tyrosine-phosphorylated EpoR, causing dephosphorylation and inactivation of the EpoR-associated Janus kinase 2 and termination of the cellular response to erythropoietin. Klingmuller et al., Cell 80:729-738 (1995). Mutation of the tyrosine on the EpoR to which SHPI binds results in enhanced cell proliferation to erythropoietin in vitro [Klingmuller, supra]. In humans, mutation of the EpoR resulting in loss of association with SHPI causes autosomal dominant benign erythrocytosis, which is characterized by increased numbers of erythrocytes in the periphery and increased hematocrit. de la Chapelle et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
90:4495-4499 (1993).
SHP1 also appears to be a negative regulator of the cellular response to colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1, a major macrophage mitogenic cytokine), as cells from viable motheaten and motheaten mice, which have reduced or absent SHP1 function, WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 6 are hyper-responsive to CSF-1 in vitro. Reduced SHP1 expression also results in increased cellular response to interleukin 3 [Yi et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 13:7577-7586 (1993)]. Collectively, these observations suggest that SHP1 functions to limit the cellular response to cytokines and growth factors by reversing the tyrosine phosphorylation of key signaling intermediates in these pathways.
PTPases appear to play a homologous role in the insulin signaling pathway.
Treatment of adipocytes with the PTPase inhibitor vanadate results in increased tyrosine phosphorylation and tyrosine kinase activity of the insulin receptor (InsR), and enhances or mimics the cellular effects of insulin including increased glucose transport. See, Shisheva and Shechter, Endocrinology 133:1562-1568 (1993); Fantus, et al., Biochemistry 28:8864-8871 (1989); Kadota, et al., Biochem. Biophys.
Res. Comm. 147:259-266 (1987); Kadota, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 262:8252-8256 (1987). Transiently induced reduction in expression of two PTPases, the intracellular PTPase PTP- B and the R-PTPase LAR, resulted in similar increases in the cellular response to insulin. Kulas, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:2435-2438 (1995); Ahmad et al., J. Biol. Chem. 270:20503-20508 (1995). Conversely, increased cellular expression of several PTPases (PTPa, PTPE, CD45) in vitro has been demonstrated to result in diminished InsR signaling [see, Moller, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:23126-23131 (1995); Kulas et al., J. Biol. Chem. 271:755-760 (1996)]. Finally, increased expression of LAR was observed in adipose tissue from obese human subjects [Ahmad, et al., J. Clin. Invest. 95:2806-2812 (1995)]. These data provide clear evidence that PTPases negatively regulate the insulin signaling pathway.
While many of the PTPases function to negatively regulate cellular metabolism and response, it is becoming increasingly evident that PTPases provide important positive signaling mechanisms as well. Perhaps the best example of such a positive regulator is the hematopoietic R-PTPase CD45. See generally Streuli, supra; Okumura and Thomas, supra; Trowbridge, Annu. Rev. Immunol. 12:85-116 (1994).
is abundantly expressed on the cell surface of all nucleated hematopoietic cells, in several alternative splice variants. T and B lymphocytes which lack WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 7 expression are incapable of responding normally to antigen, suggesting that CD45 is required for antigen receptor signaling. Genetically engineered mice which lack expression of CD45 exhibit severe defects in T lymphocyte development and maturation, indicating an additional role for CD45 in thymopoiesis. The major substrates for CD45 appear to be members of the Src family of PTK's, particularly Lck and Fyn, whose kinase activity is both positively and negatively regulated by tyrosine phosphorylation. Lck and Fyn isolated from CD45-deficient cells are hyperphosphorylated on negative regulatory tyrosine residues, and their PTK activity is reduced. As CD45 can dephosphorylate and activate purified Lck and Fyn in vitro, these data suggest that CD45 maintains the activity of Lck and Fyn in vivo through dephosphorylation of these negative regulatory tyrosines and that this is an important mechanism for maintaining lymphocyte homeostasis.
A second PTPase which is now believed to play an important positive role in signal transduction is the intracellular, SH2-domain-containing SHP2 (which has also been called SHPTP-2, SHPTP-3, syp, PTP2c, and PTP-1D [Adachi, et al., supra]).
See generally Saltiel, Am. J. Physiol. 270:E375-385 (1996); Draznin, Endocrinology 137:2647-2648. SHP2 associates, via its SH2 domains, with the receptor for plateletderived growth factor (PDGF-R), the receptor for epidermal growth factor (EGF-R), with the insulin receptor, and with the predominant substrate of the InsR, insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRSI). Bennett, et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 91:7335-7339 (1994); Case, et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:10467-10474 (1994); Kharitonenkov, et al., J.
Biol. Chem. 270:29189-29193 (1995); Kuhne, et al., J Biol. Chem. 268:11479-11481 (1993). SHP2 PTPase activity is required for cellular response to EGF and insulin, as competitive expression of inactive forms of SHP2 results in diminished signaling events and reduced cellular responses to EGF and insulin. Milarski and Saltiel, J.
Biol. Chem. 269:21239-21243 (1994); Xiao et al., J. Biol. Chem. 269:21244-21248 (1994); Yamauchi et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 92:664-668 (1995). The relevant substrate(s) for the PTPase domain of SHP2 is not known.
WO 98/27065 PCTfUS96/20508 8 Due to the fundamental role that PTPases play in normal and neoplastic cellular growth and proliferation, a need exists in the art for agents capable of modulating PTPase activity. On a fundamental level, such agents are useful for elucidating the precise role of protein tyrosine phosphatases and kinases in cellular signalling pathways and cellular growth and proliferation. See generally MacKintosh and MacKintosh, TIBS, 19:444-448 (1994).
More importantly, modulation of PTPase activity has important clinical significance. For example, PTP-1B overexpression has been correlated with breast and ovarian cancers [Weiner et al., J. Natl. Cancer Inst., 86:372-8 (1994); Weiner et al., Am J. Obstet. Gynecol., 170:1177-883 (1994)], and thus agents which modulate PTP-1B activity would be helpful in elucidating the role of PTP-1B in these conditions and for the development of effective therapeutics against these disease states. The important role of CD45 in hematopoietic development and T lymphocyte function likewise indicates a therapeutic utility for PTPase inhibitors in conditions that are associated with autoimmune disease, and as a prophylaxis for transplant rejection. The antibiotic suramin, which also appears to possess anti-neoplastic indications, has recently been shown to be a potent, irreversible, non-competitive inhibitor of CD45. See Ghosh and Miller, Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. 194:36-44 (1993). The negative regulatory effects of several PTPases on signaling through receptors for growth factors and cytokines, which are implicated in normal cell processing as well as disease states such as cancer and atherosclerosis, also indicate a therapeutic potential for PTPase inhibitors in diseases of hematopoietic origin.
The PTPase Yop2b is an essential virulence determinant in the pathogenic bacterium Yersinia, responsible for bubonic plague. Bliska et al., Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. USA, 88:1187-91 (1991), and thus an antimicrobial indication exists for PTPase inhibitor compounds, as well.
PTPases have been implicated in diabetic conditions. Experiments with one family of PTPase inhibitors, vanadium derivatives, indicate a therapeutic utility for such compounds as oral adjuvants or as alternatives to insulin for the treatment of WO 98/27065 PCr/US96/20508 9 hyperglycemia. See Posner et al., J. Biol. Chem., 269:4596-4604 (1994). However, such metal-containing PTPase inhibitors act in a fairly non-specific fashion and act with similar potencies against all PTPase enzymes.
In addition to vanadium derivatives, certain organic phosphotyrosine mimetics are reportedly capable of competitively inhibiting PTPase molecules when such mimetics are incorporated into polypeptide artificial PTPase substrates of 6-11 amino acid residues.

Biological Protocols PTP-1B Gene Cloning and Protein Purification The following procedure was conducted for recombinant production and purification of protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP-1B, for use as a substrate in PTPase inhibition assays.
A. Production of a PTP-1B cDNA A human placental cDNA library was synthesized in a 50 ul reaction containing 1 ug human placental poly(A)' mRNA (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA), 4 ul random hexamer primers, 8 ul of 10mM dNTPs (Pharmacia, Piscataway NJ), lul (200 U/ul) Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Gibco-BRL, Canada), ul (26 U/ul) RNAsin (Promega, Madison WI), and 12 ul 5x buffer (Gibco-BRL). The synthesis reaction was incubated at 37'C for one hour and then heat inactivated at C for five minutes.
A PTP-1B cDNA was amplified, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from the cDNAs synthesized as described above. More particularly, based on the published sequence of PTB-1B, two PCR primers were synthesized to amplify a WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 88 portion of the PTP-IB coding sequence known to encode a 321 amino acid fragment containing the PTP-1B catalytic domain and having PTPase activity. See Hoppe et al., Eur. J. Biochem., 223:1069-77 (1994); Barford, et al., J. Molec. Biol., 239:726-730 (1994); Chernoff et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87:2735-2739 (1990); Charbonneau et al. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 86:5252-5256 (1989). The primers had the following respective sequences: (SEQ ID NO: 1) CGCACTGGATCCTCATGGAGATGGAAAAGG 3' PTP-IB-B(3') (SEQ ID NO: 2) CTCCCTGAATTCCTAATTGTGTGGCTCCAGG 3' The first primer, which hybridizes to the non-coding strand, corresponds to the portion of the PTP-1B coding sequence and encodes a BamH I restriction site upstream of the initiation codon, to facilitate cloning. The second primer, which hybridizes to the coding strand, corresponds to the 3' portion of the PTB- B fragment of interest, and encodes a stop codon and an EcoR I restriction site downstream from the stop codon.
A 100 tpl PCR reaction mixture containing approx. 1 ug of the human placental cDNA library, 0.2 mM of each dNTP, 30 uM of each primer, lx Amplitaq DNA polymerase buffer (Perkin-Elmer, Norwalk CT), and 5 units Amplitaq DNA polymerase (Perkin-Elmer) was denatured at 94 C for 5 minutes and then subjected to cycles of amplification as follows: 1) 940C denaturation for 1 minute; 2) 55 0
C
annealing for 1 minute; and 3) 72 0 C primer extension for 1 minute.
The PCR reaction product (992 bp) was digested with BamH I and EcoR I (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA) to yield a 975 bp product encoding the 321 amino acid PTP-1B protein fragment, and having "sticky ends" to facilitate cloning.
WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 89 B. Production of a PTP-1B expression vector.
The 975 bp PTP-IB partial cDNA was purified by agarose gel electrophoresis and ligated into a BamH I/EcoR I-digested pGEX-3X plasmid vector (Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ). The pGEX vector is designed to produce a fusion of glutathione-Stransferase (GST) to a protein encoded by another DNA fragment inserted into the vector's cloning site. Complete sequencing of the insert of the resultant plasmid, designated pGEX-3X-PTP-1B, confirmed the identity of the PTP-1B cDNA, and insertion in the proper orientation and reading frame.
C. Expression and Purification of GST/PTP1B fusion protein.
E. coli strain DH5(a (Gibco-BRL) was transformed with plasmid pGEX-3X- PTP- B following the supplier's transformation protocol and grown at 37°C with vigorous shaking in Luria-Bertani broth supplemented with 100 ug/ml ampicillin.
When the cultures reached an O.D.
600 of 0.7-1, production of the GST/PTP-1B fusion protein was induced with 0.1 mM IPTG (Isopropyl b-D-Thiogalactoside). After 3 additional hours of culturing at 37 0 C, the bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation.
The bacterial pellet was resuspended in 10x lysis buffer consisting of -12.5 mM HEPES, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.0, 15 mM b-mercaptoethanol (bME) and 1 mM PMSF. The lysate was sonicated (on ice) until slight clearing was observed (approx.
three min.) and then centrifuged at 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) for 10 min.
The supernatant was diluted 1:4 with buffer A (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.0, and 15 mM bME).
Primary purification was achieved using a 5 ml Hi-Trap pre-packed Q column (Pharmacia). After loading the diluted supernatant onto the column, the column was washed with 10 bed volumes of buffer A. The GST/PTP-1B fusion protein was then eluted using a linear gradient of Buffer A and Buffer B (buffer A 1 M NaCI).
Eluted fractions containing protein were identified by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Blue staining (Pharmacia PhastSystem), and fractions containing PTP-1B activity were identified using the PTP-1B activity assay described below. Elution of the fusion protein occurred at about 30% Buffer B.
W-0 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 Fractions containing PTPase activity were pooled, diluted 1:4 with NET buffer mM Tris, pH 8.8, 100 mM NaC1, 1 mM EDTA and 15 mM bME), and loaded onto a 10 ml GST-Sepharose 4B column (Pharmacia). After loading, the column was washed first with 3 bed volumes of NET buffer 1% NP40 (Sigma Chemical Co., St.
Louis, MO), then with NET buffer until O.D. at 280 nm was basal. The GST/PTP-1B fusion protein was eluted from the column using 10 mM glutathione in 33 mM Tris, pH 8.0. Elution of proteins was monitored at O.D.
2 8 0 and fractions were assayed for activity and run on SDS-PAGE as described above. PTP-1B fusion protein eluted after approx. 4-5 minutes (flow rate Iml/min.).
The GST/PTP-lB-containing fractions from the GST-Sepharose 4B purification were pooled, concentrated into a final storage buffer (0.2 M NaCI, mM HEPES, 1 mM EDTA, and 5 mM DTT, pH 7.0) using a 1 ml Hi-Trap Q column (pre-packed, Pharmacia), and stored at -80°C (final concentration of 0.52 mg/ml).
The foregoing procedure yielded approximately 5mg of PTP-1B fusion protein per 500 ml of cultured cells, purified to substantial homogeneity as assessed by SDS-
PAGE.
Assay of PTP-1B Activity.
PTP-1B enzymatic activity of samples was assayed in microtiter plates as follows.
The protein concentration of the PTP-1B enzyme preparation was determined using the Bio-Rad Protein Assay kit (Bio-Rad, Hercules CA). An aliquot from each sample was taken and diluted to 2 mg protein/ml using activity assay buffer (100 mM Sodium Acetate, pH 6.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% TX-100 (International Biotechnologies, Inc.) and 15 mM bME) to form a PTP-I B stock solution.
A 100 ul reaction mixture was prepared containing 10 ul of the PTP-1B stock solution, 10 ul of 9 mM p-nitrophenylphosphate ((pNPP), Sigma Chemical Co., St.
Louis MO), and 80 ul of activity assay buffer (100 mM sodium acetate, pH 6.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X-100, 15 mM bME). Reactions were mixed gently and incubated at 37 C for 60 minutes. Enzymatic cleavage of phosphate from pNPP (a WAD 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 91 tyrosine phosphate analog) is marked by a colorimetric change in this substrate. See, Imbert et al., Biochem 297:163-173 (1994); Ghosh and Miller, Biochem.
Biophys. Res. Comm., 194:36-44 (1993); Zanke et al., Eur. J. Immunol., 22:235-39 (1992).
Reactions were stopped by addition of 10 ul of a 0.5 M NaOH/50% EtOH solution. To determine the enzymatic activity, absorbance readings of the reactions were measured at 405 nm using a Molecular Devices Thermomax Plate Reader (Menlo Park CA).
Gene Cloning and Protein Purification The following procedure was conducted for recombinant production and purification of protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45, for use as a substrate in PTPase inhibition assays.
A. Production of aCD45 cDNA, and production of a CD45 expression vector.
A human cDNA library was synthesized from RNA isolated from the human Jurkat cell line, as described above for PTP-1B cDNA was amplified, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), from the cDNAs synthesized above. Two PCR primers were synthesized to amplify the coding sequence of CD45. The primers had the following respective sequences: (SEQ ID NO: 3) CTACATCCCGGGATGTCCTGCAATTTAGATG 3' (SEQ ID NO: 4) CATTTATGTCCCGGGCTATGAACCTTGAT 3' The first primer corresponds to the 5' portion of the CD45 coding sequence and encodes a Sma I restriction site upstream of the initiation codon, to facilitate cloning.
WO 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 92 The second primer corresponds to the 3' portion of the CD45 sequence, and encodes a stop codon and a Sma I restriction site downstream from the stop codon.
The PCR reaction product (2127 bp) was digested with Sma I (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA) to yield a 2110 bp product. The pET24C plasmid vector (Novagen, Inc., Madison WI) was digested with the BamH I restriction enzyme, and the "sticky" ends were filled using T4 DNA polymerase according to the manufacturer's instructions (New England Biolabs, Beverly MA); the resulting plasmid DNA was ligated to Sma I-digested CD45 PCR product. The pET24C vector is designed to produce high levels of the protein encoded by cDNA inserted into the vector's cloning site (CD45), in bacterial hosts. Complete sequencing of the insert of the resultant plasmid, designated pET24C-CD45, confirmed the identity of the cDNA, and insertion in the proper orientation and reading frame.
C. Expression and Purification of CD45 protein.
E. coli strain DH5a (Gibco-BRL) was transformed with pET24C-CD45 following the supplier's transformation protocol, plated onto Luria-Bertani agar plates supplemented with 30 ug/ml kanamycin and grown overnight at 37°C. A single bacterial colony was transferred into 50 mis Luria-Bertani broth supplemented with ug/ml kanamycin and grown overnight with vigorous shaking. This overnight culture was split into two equal parts, and added to 2L Luria-Bertani broth supplemented with 50 ug/ml kanamycin. When the cultures reached an O.D.
60 0 of 1, production of the recombinant CD45 protein was induced with 0.1 mM IPTG (Isopropyl b-D-Thiogalactoside). After 5 additional hours of culturing at 37 C, the bacteria were pelleted by centrifugation.
The bacterial pellet (approximately 5 grams) was resuspended in 10x (w/v) lysis buffer consisting of 12.5 mM HEPES, 2 mM EDTA, pH 7.0, 15 mM bME and 1 mM PMSF. The lysate was sonicated (on ice) until slight clearing was observed (approx. three min.) and then centrifuged at 10,000 revolutions per minute (RPM) for min. The supernatant was filtered through 1mm Wattman filter paper, and 9.7 grams 194 grams/L) of ammonium sulfate were added to the solution on ice to WO 98/27065 PCT/US96/20508 93 precipitate soluble proteins. After a 1 hour incubation on ice, the lysate was spun at 10,000 RPM for 30 min. at 4 C; supernatant was removed, and an additional 7.6 grams 151 grams/L) of ammonium sulfate were added. The resulting pellet was resuspended in 3 mis of buffer B (33 mM imidazole-HCl pH 8.0, 2mM EDTA, mM bME, 0.002% PMSF) and stored on ice. After another 1 hour incubation on ice, the spin supernatant with ammonium sulfate was spun again at 10,000 RPM for mins at 4 C. The resulting pellet from the second centrifugation was resuspended in 2 mis of buffer B. The two pellet solutions were pooled and dialyzed overnight against buffer B.
Secondary purification was achieved using a Mono-Q column. (Pharmacia).
After loading the diluted supernatant onto the column, the column was washed with bed volumes of buffer B. The recombinant CD45 protein was then eluted using a linear gradient of Buffer B and Buffer C (buffer B 1 M NaCI). Eluted fractions containing protein were identified by SDS-PAGE and Coomassie Blue staining (Pharmacia PhastSystem), and fractions containing CD45 activity were identified using the CD45 activity assay described below.
The CD45-containing fractions from the MonoQ column purification were pooled and stored at 4 C.
Assay of CD45 Activity.
enzymatic activity of samples was assayed in microtiter plates as follows.
A 100 ul reaction mixture was prepared containing 10 ul of the CD45 stock solution, 10 ul of 9.3 mM p-nitrophenylphosphate ((pNPP), Sigma Chemical Co., St.
Louis MO), and 80 ul of activity assay buffer (100 mM sodium acetate, pH 6.0, 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X-100, 15 mM bME). Reactions were mixed gently and incubated at 37 0 C for 60 minutes. Reactions were stopped by addition of 10 ul of a M NaOH/50% EtOH solution. To determine the enzymatic activity, absorbance readings of the reactions were measured at 405 nm using a Molecular Devices Thermomax Plate Reader (Menlo Park CA).
WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 94 In vitro PTPase Inhibition Assay The ability of the compounds of the present invention, such as the cinnamic acid derivative compounds of Example 2, to inhibit the PTPase activity of PTP-1B, PTP-1C, and PTPa was determined using modifications of the PTP-IB and activity assays described in Examples 3 and 4.
First, 0.001 mmol of the cinnamic acid derivative (or other PTPase inhibitor compound) was dissolved in 100 ul of DMSO to create a 10 mM stock solution. The mM stock solution was used to add varying concentrations (100 uM, 33 uM, uM, 3 uM, 1 uM, 0.3 uM, 0.1 uM, 0.03 uM, 0.01 uM or 0.003 uM) of the inhibitor compound to a series of otherwise identical PTPase activity assay reactions (100 ul final volume in microtiter wells). Thus, each 100 ul reaction contained 10 ul PTPase enzyme stock solution (final phosphatase concentration of approximately 20 ng/well), ul activity assay buffer, 10 ul pNPP stock solution (final pNPP concentration of .9 mM for PTP-1B assay, 0.93 mM for CD45 assay, 0.5 mM for PTPa assay, and 8 mM for PTP-1C assay), and 10 ul of the diluted inhibitor compound in DMSO. Assay buffers contained: for CD45 and PTP-1B assays, 100 mM sodium acetate at pH 1 mM EDTA, 0.1% Triton X-100, and 15 mM bME; for PTP-1C assays, 100 mM sodium acetate at pH 5.5, 0.1% BSA, and 15 mM bME; for PTPa assays, 100 mM sodium acetate at pH 5.25, 0.1% BSA, and 15 mM bME. Purified phosphatase was added to the reaction mixtures to begin the reactions; the reactions were incubated at 37C for 60 min. (for PTP-IB and CD45 assays) or at 27 C for 60 min. (for PTP-1C and PTPa assays), stopped, and colorimetrically analyzed as described above. As positive and negative controls, reactions were performed containing 10 ul DMSO with no inhibitor compound or containing the known PTPase inhibitors vanadate (final concentration .5 mM; for PTP-1B and CD45 assays) or ammonium molybdate (final concentration 1 mM; for PTP- C and PTPa assays) substituted for the inhibitor compound of the invention.
The concentration of inhibitor compound required to inhibit 50% of the PTPase activity (IC50) was determined as follows. First, absorbance readings from WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 the negative control reactions were treated as a baseline and subtracted from the absorbance readings of the experimental reactions. Then, for each reaction, a percent inhibition was calculated using the following formula: 100 X 1 O.D.

The term "therapeutically effective amount" shall mean that amount of drug or pharmaceutical agent that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal, or human that is being sought by a researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. Generally, a daily dose of about 0.5mg/Kg to 100mg/Kg body weight in divided doses is suggested to treat PTPase related diseases. Such dosage has to be individualized by the clinician.
The present invention also has the objective of providing suitable topical, oral, and parenteral pharmaceutical formulations for use in the novel methods of treatment of the present invention. The compounds of the present invention may be administered orally as tablets, aqueous or oily suspensions, lozenges, troches, WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/20508 100 powders, granules, emulsions, capsules, syrups or elixirs. The composition for oral use may contain one or more agents selected from the group of sweetening agents, flavouring agents, colouring agents and preserving agents in order to produce pharmaceutically elegant and palatable preparations. The tablets contain the acting ingredient in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which are suitable for the manufacture of tablets. These excipients may be, for example, (1) inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, lactose, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; granulating and disintegrating agents, such as corn starch or alginic acid; binding agents, such as starch, gelatin or acacia; and lubricating agents, such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. These tablets may be uncoated or coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed. Coating may also be performed using techniques described in the U.S. Patent Nos. 4,256,108; 4,160,452; and 4,265,874 to form osmotic therapeutic tablets for control release.
Formulations for oral use may be in the form of hard gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin. They may also be in the form of soft gelatin capsules wherein the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil medium, such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin or olive oil.
Aqueous suspensions normally contain the active materials in admixture with excipients suitable for the manufacture of aqueous suspension. Such expicients may be: suspending agent such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents which may be naturally occurring phosphatide such as lecithin; a condensation product of an alkylene oxide with a fatty acid, for example, polyoxyethylene stearate; a condensation product of WO 98/27065 PCTIUS96/2008 101 ethylene oxide with a long chain aliphatic alcohol, for example, heptadecaethylenoxycetanol; a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a partial ester derived from a fatty acid and hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or a condensation product of ethylene oxide with a partial ester derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oleagenous suspension. This suspension may be formulated according to known methods using those suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents which have been mentioned above. The sterile injectable preparation may also a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose, any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono- or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.
Compounds of Formula (Al) thru (Al 1) may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions can be prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperature but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.
The compounds of the present invention may also be administered in the form of liposome delivery systems, such as small unilamellar vesicles, large unilamellar vesicles, and multilamellar vesicles. Liposomes can be formed from a variety of phospholipids, such as cholesterol, stearylamine, or phosphatidylcholines.
For topical use, creams, ointments, jellies, solutions or suspensions, etc., containing the compounds of Formula (Al) thru (A 11) are employed.
