Abstract
INTRODUCTION Overactive bladder syndrome is a common chronic condition with a significant impact on quality of life and economic burden. Persistence with pharmacologic therapy has been limited by efficacy and side effects. A greater understanding of the pathophysiology of overactive bladder has led to the initial evaluation of several drugs affecting ion channels, the autonomic nervous system, and enzymes which may provide useful alternatives for the management of overactive bladder. AREAS COVERED A comprehensive review was performed using PubMed and Cochrane databases as well as reviewing clinical trials in the United States. The current standard of care for overactive bladder will be discussed, but this paper focuses on investigational drugs currently in preclinical studies and phase I and II clinical trials. EXPERT OPINION Current therapies for overactive bladder have limitations in efficacy and side effects. A greater understanding of the pathophysiology of overactive bladder has identified the role(s) of other pathways in the overactive bladder syndrome. Targeting alternative pathways including ion channels and enzymes may provide alternative therapies of overactive bladder and a more tailored approach to the management of overactive bladder.

Efficacy of KPR-5714, a selective transient receptor potential melastatin 8 antagonist, on chronic psychological stress-induced bladder overactivity in male rats. Neurourol Urodyn 2023; 42:1812-1821. [PMID: 37498134 DOI: 10.1002/nau.25255] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/17/2023] [Indexed: 07/28/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Chronic psychological stress aggravates lower urinary tract symptoms. Among others, water avoidance stress is a chronic psychological stressor that plays a causal role in the exacerbation and development of bladder dysfunction in rats. In this report, the effects of KPR-5714, which is a selective transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) antagonist, on bladder overactivity induced by water avoidance stress were examined. METHODS Male rats were subjected to water avoidance stress for 2 h per day for 10 consecutive days. The effects of water avoidance stress on voiding behavior using metabolic cages and histological bladder changes were investigated in rats. The involvement of bladder C-fiber afferent on voiding frequency in rats exposed to water avoidance stress was assessed using capsaicin. The effects of KPR-5714 on storage dysfunction in rats subjected to water avoidance stress were examined. RESULTS In voiding behavior measurements, water avoidance stress-induced storage dysfunction, causing a decrease in the mean voided volume and increasing voiding frequency. A comparison of bladders from normal rats and rats exposed to water avoidance stress showed no histological differences. Water avoidance stress-induced bladder overactivity was completely inhibited by pretreatment with capsaicin. KPR-5714 showed a tendency to increase the mean voided volume and significantly decreased the voiding frequency without affecting the total voided volume in these rats. CONCLUSION The results suggest that KPR-5714 is a promising option for treating chronic psychological stress-induced bladder overactivity.

Signal Transduct Target Ther 2023; 8:261. [PMID: 37402746 DOI: 10.1038/s41392-023-01464-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 47.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2022] [Revised: 03/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 07/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are sensors for a variety of cellular and environmental signals. Mammals express a total of 28 different TRP channel proteins, which can be divided into seven subfamilies based on amino acid sequence homology: TRPA (Ankyrin), TRPC (Canonical), TRPM (Melastatin), TRPML (Mucolipin), TRPN (NO-mechano-potential, NOMP), TRPP (Polycystin), TRPV (Vanilloid). They are a class of ion channels found in numerous tissues and cell types and are permeable to a wide range of cations such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, and others. TRP channels are responsible for various sensory responses including heat, cold, pain, stress, vision and taste and can be activated by a number of stimuli. Their predominantly location on the cell surface, their interaction with numerous physiological signaling pathways, and the unique crystal structure of TRP channels make TRPs attractive drug targets and implicate them in the treatment of a wide range of diseases. Here, we review the history of TRP channel discovery, summarize the structures and functions of the TRP ion channel family, and highlight the current understanding of the role of TRP channels in the pathogenesis of human disease. Most importantly, we describe TRP channel-related drug discovery, therapeutic interventions for diseases and the limitations of targeting TRP channels in potential clinical applications.

TRPV1 and TRPM8 antagonists reduce cystitis-induced bladder hypersensitivity via inhibition of different sensitised classes of bladder afferents in guinea pigs. Br J Pharmacol 2022; 180:1482-1499.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interstitial cystitis (=painful bladder syndrome) is a chronic bladder syndrome characterised by pelvic and bladder pain, urinary frequency and urgency, and nocturia. Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are an attractive target in reducing the pain associated with interstitial cystitis. The current study aims to determine the efficacy of combination of TRP vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) and TRP melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channel inhibition in reducing the pain associated with experimental cystitis in guinea pigs. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH A novel animal model of non-ulcerative interstitial cystitis has been developed using protamine sulfate/zymosan in female guinea pigs. Continuous voiding cystometry was performed in conscious guinea pigs. Ex vivo "close-to-target" single unit extracellular recordings were made from fine branches of pelvic nerves entering the guinea pig bladder. Visceromotor responses in vivo were used to determine the effects of TRP channel antagonists on cystitis-induced bladder hypersensitivity. KEY RESULTS Protamine sulfate/zymosan treatment evoked mild inflammation in the bladder and increased micturition frequency in conscious animals. In cystitis, high threshold muscular afferents were sensitised via up-regulation of TRPV1 channels, high threshold muscular-mucosal afferents were sensitised via TRPM8 channels, and mucosal afferents by both. Visceromotor responses evoked by noxious bladder distension were significantly enhanced in cystitis and were returned to control levels upon administration of combination of low doses of TRPV1 and TRPM8 antagonists. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The data demonstrate the therapeutic promises of combination of TRPV1 and TRPM8 antagonists for the treatment of bladder hypersensitivity in cystitis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Current drug treatment of lower urinary tract disorders, for example, overactive bladder syndrome and lower urinary tract symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, is moderately effective, has a low treatment persistence and some short- and long-term adverse events. Even if combination therapy with approved drugs may offer advantages in some patients, there is still a need for new agents. AREAS COVERED New b3-adrenoceptor agonists, antimuscarinics, the naked Maxi-K channel gene, a novel 5HT/NA reuptake inhibitor and soluble guanylate cyclase activators are discussed. Focus is given to P2X3 receptor antagonists, small molecule blockers of TRP channels, the roles of cannabis on incontinence in patients with multiple sclerosis, and of drugs acting directly on CB1 and CB2 receptor or indirectly via endocannabinoids by inhibition of fatty acid aminohydrolase. EXPERT OPINION New potential alternatives to currently used drugs/drug principles are emerging, but further clinical testing is required before they can be evaluated as therapeutic alternatives. It seems that for the near future individualized treatment with approved drugs and their combinations will be the prevailing therapeutic approach.

Abstract
AIMS Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) has a role in the abnormal sensory transduction of the bladder and is involved in the pathophysiology of hyperactivity bladder disorders. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of KPR-5714, a novel and selective TRPM8 antagonist, on voiding dysfunction induced by bladder afferent hyperactivity via mechanosensitive C-fibers in rats. METHODS The effects of intragastric administration of KPR-5714 on bladder overactivity induced by intravesical instillation of 10 mM ATP were investigated using cystometry in conscious female rats. We examined the effects of oral administration of KPR-5714 on voiding behavior using a metabolic cage in normal male rats and rats with an intratesticular injection of 3% acetic acid. RESULTS In cystometry measurements, the intercontraction interval was decreased by intravesical ATP instillation. KPR-5714 (0.1, 0.3, and 1 mg/kg) dose-dependently prolonged the shortened intercontraction interval provoked by ATP. In voiding behavior measurements, intratesticular injection of acetic acid decreased the mean voided volume and increased voiding frequency. KPR-5714 (0.1 and 0.3 mg/kg) dose-dependently increased the mean voided volume and decreased voiding frequency without affecting the total voided volume in these rats. However, KPR-5714 (1 and 10 mg/kg) did not influence the voiding behavior in normal rats. CONCLUSION The present results suggest that KPR-5714 improves voiding dysfunction by inhibiting the enhanced activity of mechanosensitive bladder C-fibers in rats with bladder overactivity and shows no significant change in voiding behavior in normal rats.

Abstract
In the lower urinary tract, transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are primarily involved in physiological function, especially in cellular sensors responding to chemical and physical stimuli. Among TRP channels, TRP melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels, responding to cold temperature and/or chemical agents, such as menthol or icilin, are mainly expressed in the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons and in the cell bodies of dorsal root ganglia innervating the urinary bladder (via Aδ- and C-fibers); this suggests that TRPM8 channels primarily contribute to bladder sensory (afferent) function. Storage symptoms of overactive bladder, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and interstitial cystitis are commonly related to sensory function (bladder hypersensitivity); thus, TRPM8 channels may also contribute to the pathophysiology of bladder hypersensitivity. Indeed, it has been reported in a pharmacological investigation using rodents that TRPM8 channels contribute to the pathophysiological bladder afferent hypersensitivity of mechanosensitive C-fibers. Similar findings have also been reported in humans. Therefore, a TRPM8 antagonist would be a promising therapeutic target for bladder hypersensitive disorders, including urinary urgency or nociceptive pain. In this review article, the functional role of the TRPM8 channel in the lower urinary tract and the potential of its antagonist for the treatment of bladder disorders was described.

Abstract
Background Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common clinical condition for which current drug treatment comprises drugs blocking the cholinergic nerve supply, or augmenting the adrenergic nerve supply, to the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder. Current treatments have drawbacks, including lack of efficacy and the development of adverse effects in some patients. Hence, new and better drugs for treating OAB will be clinically useful. Objective This review is meant to provide information on drugs currently undergoing preclinical or clinical trials for the treatment of OAB published in journal articles or elsewhere. Methods The cited articles were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar from January 1, 1990, to December 31, 2021. The search terms used were contraction or contractility, detrusor, inhibition, isolated or in vitro, in vivo, overactive bladder, and relaxant effect or relaxation. Results There are 4 classes of new drugs under various stages of development for the treatment of OAB. These are drugs acting on the autonomic nerve supply to the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder that include the anticholinergics tarafenacin and afacifenacin and the β3 adrenoceptor agonists solabegron and ritobegron; drugs acting on ion channels in the detrusor muscle (eg, potassium channel openers and calcium channel blockers), drugs acting on cellular enzymes like phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and Rho kinase inhibitors, and drugs acting on miscellaneous targets (eg, pregabalin and trimetazidine). Conclusions Drugs currently used to treat OAB target only the cholinergic and adrenergic cellular signalling pathways. There are many other drugs under trial targeting other cellular pathways that may be useful for treating OAB. Their approval for clinical use might improve the treatment of patients with OAB.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential melastatin subtype 8 (TRPM8) is a cold sensor in humans, activated by low temperatures (>10, <28 °C), but also a polymodal ion channel, stimulated by voltage, pressure, cooling compounds (menthol, icilin), and hyperosmolarity. An increased number of experimental results indicate the implication of TRPM8 channels in cold thermal transduction and pain detection, transmission, and maintenance in different tissues and organs. These channels also have a repercussion on different kinds of life-threatening tumors and other pathologies, which include urinary and respiratory tract dysfunctions, dry eye disease, and obesity. This compendium firstly covers newly described papers on the expression of TRPM8 channels and their correlation with pathological states. An overview on the structural knowledge, after cryo-electron microscopy success in solving different TRPM8 structures, as well as some insights obtained from mutagenesis studies, will follow. Most recently described families of TRPM8 modulators are also covered, along with a section of molecules that have reached clinical trials. To finalize, authors provide an outline of the potential prospects in the TRPM8 field.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin (TRPM) channels are members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, a family of evolutionarily conserved integral membrane proteins. TRPM channels are nonselective cation channels, mediating the influx of various ions including Ca2+, Na+ and Zn2+. The function of TRPM channels is vital for cell proliferation, cell development and cell death. Cell death is a key procedure during embryonic development, organism homeostasis, aging and disease. The category of cell death modalities, beyond the traditionally defined concepts of necrosis, autophagy, and apoptosis, were extended with the discovery of pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis. As upstream signaling regulators of cell death, TRPM channels have been involved inrelevant pathologies. In this review, we introduced several cell death modalities, then summarized the contribution of TRPM channels (especially TRPM2 and TRPM7) to different cell death modalities and discussed the underlying regulatory mechanisms. Our work highlighted the possibility of TRPM channels as potential therapeutic targets in cell death-related diseases.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels may contribute to the pathophysiological bladder afferent hyperactivity, thus a TRPM8 antagonist would be a promising therapeutic target for the bladder hypersensitive disorders including urinary urgency in overactive bladder (OAB). We aimed to investigate a pharmacological effect of KPR-5714, a novel selective TRPM8 antagonist, on TRPM8 channels, M3 receptors and β3-adrenoceptors using the transfected cells of each gene at first. Then, combination effects of KPR-5714 and mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist, or tolterodine tartrate, an anticholinergic agent, were studied on rhythmic bladder contractions (RBCs) in normal rats and bladder function in frequent-voiding rats. In vitro measurements showed that KPR-5714 acts on neither β3-adrenoceptor nor M3 receptor. In normal rats, KPR-5714 and mirabegron significantly reduced the frequency of RBCs, and a combined administration showed an additive effect. In rats with cerebral infarction, KPR-5714 and mirabegron significantly reduced the voiding frequency, and a combined administration showed an additive effect. In rats exposed to cold temperature, KPR-5714 and tolterodine tartrate significantly reduced the voiding frequency accompanied by the increased mean voided volume, and a combined administration showed additive effects. The present study demonstrated that the combined administration of KPR-5714 and mirabegron or tolterodine tartrate showed the additive effects on bladder dysfunction in different animal models, suggesting that the combination therapy of TRPM8 antagonist and β3-adrenoceptor agonist or anticholinergic agent can be the potential treatment option for obtaining additive effects in comparison with monotherapy for OAB.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels are non-selective cation channels that are implicated in analgesia, bowel motility, wound healing, thermoregulation, vasodilation and voiding dysfunction. Many natural products have been reported to affect the activity of TRP channels. We hypothesize that numerous traditional herbal medicines (THMs) might exert their pharmacological activity through modulating the activity of TRP channels. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of flavonoid aglycones and their glycosides, which are the main components of many THMs, on the TRP channel subtypes. A Ca2+ influx assay was performed using recombinant human TRPA1, TRPV1, TRPV4 and TRPM8 cell lines. Our findings showed that flavonoid aglycones and glycycoumarin activated TRPA1. In particular, isoflavone and chalcone compounds displayed potent TRPA1 agonistic activity. Furthermore, flavone aglycones showed concomitant potent TRPM8 inhibiting activity. Indeed, flavone, isoflavone aglycones, non-prenylated chalcones and glycycoumarin were found to be TRPM8 inhibitors. Hence, flavonoid aglycones metabolized by lactase-phlorizin hydrolase and β-glucosidase in the small intestine or gut microbiota of the large intestine could generate TRPA1 agonists and TRPM8 antagonists.

Abstract
Transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8), a temperature-sensitive ion channel responsible for detecting cold, is an attractive molecular target for the treatment of pain and other disorders. We have previously discovered a selective TRPM8 antagonist, KPR-2579, which inhibited bladder afferent hyperactivity induced by acetic acid instillation into the bladder. However, additional studies have revealed potential adverse effects with KPR-2579, such as the formation of a reactive metabolite, CYP3A4 induction, and convulsions. In this report, we describe the optimization of α-phenylglycinamide derivatives to mitigate the risk of these adverse effects. The optimal compound 13x exhibited potent inhibition against icilin-induced wet-dog shakes and cold-induced frequent voiding in rats, with a wide safety margin against the potential side effects.

Abstract
![]()
Transient
receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) ion channel represents
a valuable pharmacological option for several therapeutic areas. Here,
a series of conformationally restricted derivatives of the previously
described TRPM8 antagonist N,N′-dibenzyl
tryptophan 4 were prepared and characterized in vitro
by Ca2+-imaging and patch-clamp electrophysiology assays.
Molecular modeling studies led to identification of a broad and well-defined
interaction network of these derivatives inside the TRPM8 binding
site, underlying their antagonist activity. The (5R,11aS)-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-5,6,11,11a-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[1′,5′:1,6]pyrido[3,4-b]indole-1,3(2H)-dione (31a) emerged as a potent (IC50 = 4.10 ± 1.2 nM), selective,
and metabolically stable TRPM8 antagonist. In vivo, 31a showed significant target coverage in an icilin-induced WDS (at
11.5 mg/kg ip), an oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia (at 10–30
μg sc), and CCI-induced thermal hyperalgesia (at 11.5 mg/kg
ip) mice models. These results confirm the tryptophan moiety as a
solid pharmacophore template for the design of highly potent modulators
of TRPM8-mediated activities.
