First-in-human single-dose study of nizubaglustat, a dual inhibitor of ceramide glucosyltransferase and non-lysosomal glucosylceramidase: Safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single ascending and multiple doses in healthy adults. Mol Genet Metab 2024; 141:108113. [PMID: 38113551 DOI: 10.1016/j.ymgme.2023.108113] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2023] [Revised: 11/27/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 12/21/2023]
Abstract
Nizubaglustat is a novel, orally available, brain penetrant, potent, and selective dual inhibitor of ceramide glucosyltranferase and non-lysosomal neutral glucosylceramidase (NLGase), which is currently under development for the treatment of subjects with neurological manifestations in primary and secondary gangliosidoses. The objectives of this first-in-human study were to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single oral doses of nizubaglustat after single (1, 3, and 9 mg) and multiple oral doses (9 mg once per day (QD) over 14 days) in healthy adults. Nizubaglustat was rapidly absorbed and systemic exposure was dose-proportional. Steady-state was achieved after three days of QD multiple dosing with minimal accumulation. Renal clearance accounted for around 15% of nizubaglustat elimination. Following multiple dosing, plasma concentrations of glucosylceramide (GlcCer), lactosylceramide (LacCer), and monosialodihexosylganglioside (GM3) decreased to a nadir at Day 10. PD target engagement of GCS inhibition was shown by a median decrease from baseline of plasma concentrations of GlcCer, LacCer, and GM3 ganglioside by 70%, 50%, and 48%, respectively. NLGase inhibition was also manifested by increased concentrations of GlcCer in cerebrospinal fluid from Day 1 to Day 14. Nizubaglustat was safe and well-tolerated at all doses tested. Consistent with the high selectivity, and the absence of intestinal disaccharidases inhibition, no cases of diarrhea were reported. No decreased appetite or weight loss was noted. Only treatment-emergent adverse events with preferred terms belonging to the system organ class skin and subcutaneous disorders of mild intensity were reported as drug-related in the nizubaglustat arm, in line with the pharmacological mechanism targeting glucosylceramide metabolism. Taken together, these data support QD dosing of nizubaglustat and its ongoing development in patients with primary and secondary forms of gangliosidoses.

Abstract
Exogenous cholesterol has been supplemented into aqua-feeds due to the reduced proportions of fishmeal and fish oil. This study aimed to investigate the effects of dietary cholesterol supplementation on the muscle lipidomics of two marine fish species, turbot and tiger puffer. A 70-day feeding trial was conducted, where two low-fishmeal diets supplemented with 0 or 1% cholesterol were used. The lipidomic analysis with targeted tandem mass spectrometry showed that, in turbot, a total of 49 individual lipids exhibited significant differences in their abundance in response to dietary cholesterol, whereas the number was 30 for tiger puffer. Dietary cholesterol up-regulated the abundance of cholesterol and cholesterol ester in both species. In turbot, the dietary cholesterol also increased the abundance of triacylglycerol and acylcarnitine, whereas in tiger puffer, it primarily regulated the abundance of phospholipids and BMP. This was the first time the responses of marine fish muscle lipidomics to dietary cholesterol supplementation have been investigated.

Abstract
Disturbances of lipid homeostasis in cells provoke human diseases. The elucidation of the underlying mechanisms and the development of efficient therapies represent formidable challenges for biomedical research. Exemplary cases are two rare, autosomal recessive, and ultimately fatal lysosomal diseases historically named "Niemann-Pick" honoring the physicians, whose pioneering observations led to their discovery. Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) and Niemann-Pick type C disease (NPCD) are caused by specific variants of the sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase 1 (SMPD1) and NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 1 (NPC1) or NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2 (NPC2) genes that perturb homeostasis of two key membrane components, sphingomyelin and cholesterol, respectively. Patients with severe forms of these diseases present visceral and neurologic symptoms and succumb to premature death. This synopsis traces the tortuous discovery of the Niemann-Pick diseases, highlights important advances with respect to genetic culprits and cellular mechanisms, and exposes efforts to improve diagnosis and to explore new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Sphingolipids (SLs), such as ceramide, glucosylceramide (GlcCer), and sphingomyelin, play important roles in the normal development/functions of the brain and peripheral tissues. Disruption of SL homeostasis in cells/organelles, specifically up-regulation of ceramide, is involved in multiple diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). One of the pathological features of AD is aggregates of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides, and SLs regulate both the formation/aggregation of Aβ and Aβ-induced cellular responses. Up-regulation of ceramide levels via de novo and salvage synthesis pathways is reported in Aβ-treated cells and brains with AD; however, the effects of Aβ on ceramide decomposition pathways have not been elucidated. Thus, we investigated the effects of the 25-35-amino acid Aβ peptide (Aβ25-35), the fundamental cytotoxic domain of Aβ, on SL metabolism in cells treated with the fluorescent nitrobenzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-labeled C6-ceramide (NBD-ceramide). Aβ25-35 treatment reduced the formation of NBD-GlcCer mediated by GlcCer synthase (GCS) without affecting the formation of NBD-sphingomyelin or NBD-ceramide-1-phosphate, and reduced cell viability. Aβ25-35-induced responses decreased in cells treated with D609, a putative inhibitor of sphingomyelin synthases. Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity significantly increased in GCS-knockout cells and pharmacological inhibition of GCS alone demonstrated cytotoxicity. Our study revealed that Aβ25-35-induced cytotoxicity is at least partially mediated by the inhibition of GCS activity.

Beneficial effects of primidone in Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC)-model cells and mice: Reduction of unesterified cholesterol levels in cells and extension of lifespan in mice. Eur J Pharmacol 2021; 896:173907.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is caused by a loss of function of either NPC1 or NPC2 protein, resulting in the accumulation of unesterified, free-cholesterol (free-C) in cells/tissues and thus leading to cell/tissue damage. In the brain of patients/animals with NPC, as a consequence of the accumulation of free-C in late endosomes/lysosomes (LE/LY) in cells, multiple lipids including complex sphingolipids are accumulated, and almost all patients/animals ultimately develop progressive/fatal neurodegeneration. Several reagents that are considered to act in the brain show beneficial effects on NPC-model animals. In the present study, we investigated the effects of antiepileptic drugs, such as primidone and valproic acid, on the accumulation of free-C in NPC1-null CHO cells and NPC1* fibroblasts, human fibroblasts established from a patient with NPC1 mutation. Like valproic acid, treatment with primidone reduced free-C levels in LE/LY in NPC1-null/mutant cells. Down-regulation of cholesterol ester levels in NPC1-null cells and up-regulation of HMG-CoA reductase and low-density lipoprotein receptor mRNA levels in NPC1* cells were partially recovered by primidone treatment. Thus, primidone was suggested to enhance free-C trafficking from LE/LY to endoplasmic reticulum in NPC1-null/mutant cells. In NPC1-null mice, oral application of primidone (100 mg/kg/day) extended lifespan by approximately 5 days, although the first days showing ataxia, a typical symptom of neuromotor dysfunction, were not affected. Our findings suggest the potential of primidone for the treatment of NPC.

Abstract
Glycans present extraordinary structural diversity commensurate with their involvement in numerous fundamental cellular processes including growth, differentiation, and morphogenesis. Unlike linear DNA and protein sequences, glycans have heterogeneous structures that differ in composition, branching, linkage, and anomericity. These differences pose a challenge to developing useful software for glycomic analysis. To overcome this problem, we developed the novel Toolbox Accelerating Glycomics (TAG) program. TAG consists of three units: ‘TAG List’ creates a glycan list that is used for database searching in TAG Expression; ‘TAG Expression’ automatically annotates and quantifies glycan signals and draws graphs; and ‘TAG Pathway’ maps the obtained expression information to biosynthetic pathways. Herein, we discuss the concepts, outline the TAG process, and demonstrate its potential using glycomic expression profile data from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and mutants lacking a functional Npc1 gene (Npc1 knockout (KO) CHO cells). TAG not only drastically reduced the amount of time and labor needed for glycomic analysis but also detected and quantified more glycans than manual analysis. Although this study was limited to the analysis of N-glycans and free oligosaccharides, the glycomic platform will be expanded to facilitate the analysis of O-glycans and glycans of glycosphingolipids.

Abstract
The UDP-glucose ceramide glycosyltransferase (UGCG) is a key enzyme in the sphingolipid metabolism by generating glucosylceramide (GlcCer), the precursor for all glycosphingolipids (GSL), which are essential for proper cell function. Interestingly, the UGCG is also overexpressed in several cancer types and correlates with multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) gene expression. This membrane protein is responsible for efflux of toxic substances and protects cancer cells from cell damage through chemotherapeutic agents. Studies showed a connection between UGCG and MDR1 overexpression and multidrug resistance development, but the precise underlying mechanisms are unknown. Here, we give an overview about the UGCG and its connection to MDR1 in multidrug resistant cells. Furthermore, we focus on UGCG transcriptional regulation, the impact of UGCG on cellular signaling pathways and the effect of UGCG and MDR1 on the lipid composition of membranes and how this could influence multidrug resistance development. To our knowledge, this is the first review presenting an overview about UGCG with focus on the relationship to MDR1 in the process of multidrug resistance development.

Abstract
Farber disease (FD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the acid ceramidase gene (ASAH1). Low ceramidase activity results in the accumulation of fatty substances, mainly ceramides. Hallmark symptoms at clinical level are periarticular nodules, lipogranulomas, swollen and painful joints and a hoarse voice. FD phenotypes are heterogeneous varying from mild to very severe cases, with the patients not surviving past their first year of life. The diagnostic aspects of FD are poorly developed due to the rarity of the disease. In the present study, the screening for ceramides and related molecules was performed in Farber affected patients (n = 10), carriers (n = 11) and control individuals (n = 192). This study has the highest number of enrolled Farber patients and carriers reported to present. Liquid chromatography multiple reaction mass spectrometry (LC/MRM-MS) studies revealed that the ceramide C26:0 and especially its isoform 1 is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for FD (p < 0.0001). The new biomarker can be determined directly in the dried blood spot extracts with low sample consumption. This allows for easy sample preparation, high reproducibility and use in high throughput screenings.

Abstract
Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder, and the majority of cases are caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. In this study, we clarified how a single gene mutation in the NPC1 gene impacts the cellular glycome by analyzing the total glycomic expression profile of Chinese hamster ovary cell mutants defective in the Npc1 gene (Npc1 KO CHO cells). A number of glycomic alterations were identified, including increased expression of lactosylceramide, GM1, GM2, GD1, various neolacto-series glycosphingolipids, and sialyl-T (O-glycan), which was found to be the major sialylated protein-bound glycan, as well as various N-glycans, which were commonly both fucosylated and sialylated. We also observed significant increases in the total amounts of free oligosaccharides (fOSs), especially in the unique complex- and hybrid-type fOSs. Treatment of Npc1 KO CHO cells with 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPBCD), which can reduce cholesterol and glycosphingolipid (GSL) storage, did not affect the glycomic alterations observed in the GSL-, N-, and O-glycans of Npc1 KO CHO cells. However, HPBCD treatment corrected the glycomic alterations observed in fOSs to levels observed in wild-type cells.
