Curr Med Res Opin 2023; 39:1621-1628. [PMID: 37421634 DOI: 10.1080/03007995.2023.2234728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2023] [Revised: 07/01/2023] [Accepted: 07/06/2023] [Indexed: 07/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common progressive neurodegenerative disorder that leads to an imbalance of various neurotransmitters and affects cognitive, motor and non-motor function. Safinamide inhibits monoamine oxidase B in a highly selective and reversible manner and beyond that has anti-glutamatergic properties, with positive effects on motor and non-motor symptoms. The aim of the study was to obtain data about the effectiveness and tolerability of safinamide under routine clinical practice conditions in unselected patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). METHODS A post-hoc analysis of the German cohort of the European SYNAPSES study (a non-interventional cohort study). Patients were treated with safinamide as an add-on to levodopa and followed-up for 12 months. Analyses were done in the total cohort and in clinically relevant subgroups (patients older than 75 years; with relevant comorbidities; with psychiatric conditions). RESULTS 181 PD patients were eligible for analysis. Motor symptoms included bradykinesia (76.8%), rigidity (77.3%), tremor (58.6%), and postural instability (27.1%). Non-motor symptoms were reported in 161 patients (89.0%), mainly psychiatric symptoms (43.1%), sleep disorders (35.9%), fatigue (30.9%), and pain (27.6%). 28.7% of patients were aged 75 years or older, 84.5% had relevant comorbidities, and 38.1% had psychiatric conditions. During treatment, the rate of motor complications decreased from 100.0% to 71.1%. UPDRS scores improved under safinamide, with a clinically important effect in 50% in the total score and 45% in the motor score. The positive effect on motor complications occurred already at the 4-month visit and was maintained over 12 months. At least one adverse event (AE)/adverse drug reaction (ADR) was reported by 62.4%/25.4% of patients, AEs were generally mild or moderate, and completely resolved. Only 5 (1.5%) AEs had a definite relationship to safinamide. CONCLUSIONS The benefit-risk profile of safinamide was favourable and consistent with the total cohort of the SYNAPSES study. In the subgroups, findings were congruent with the total population, which allows the clinical utilisation of safinamide also in more vulnerable patient groups.

Isatin-based benzyloxybenzene derivatives as monoamine oxidase inhibitors with neuroprotective effect targeting neurogenerative disease treatment. RSC Adv 2023; 13:35240-35250. [PMID: 38053684 PMCID: PMC10694828 DOI: 10.1039/d3ra07035b] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Eighteen isatin-based benzyloxybenzaldehyde derivatives from three subseries, ISB, ISFB, and ISBB, were synthesized and their ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) was evaluated. The inhibitory activity of all synthesized compounds was found to be more profound against MAO-B than MAO-A. Compound ISB1 most potently inhibited MAO-B with an IC50 of 0.124 ± 0.007 μM, ensued by ISFB1 (IC50 = 0.135 ± 0.002 μM). Compound ISFB1 most potently inhibited MAO-A with an IC50 of 0.678 ± 0.006 μM, ensued by ISBB3 (IC50 = 0.731 ± 0.028 μM), and had the highest selectivity index (SI) value (55.03). The three sub-parental compounds, ISB1, ISFB1, and ISBB1, had higher MAO-B inhibition than the other derivatives, indicating that the substitutions of the 5-H in the A-ring of isatin diminished the inhibition of MAO-A and MAO-B. Among these, ISB1 (para-benzyloxy group in the B-ring) displayed more significant MAO-B inhibition when compared to ISBB1 (meta-benzyloxy group in the B-ring). ISB1 and ISFB1 were identified to be competitive and reversible MAO-B inhibitors, having Ki values of 0.055 ± 0.010, and 0.069 ± 0.025 μM, respectively. Furthermore, in the parallel artificial membrane penetration assay, ISB1 and ISFB1 traversed the blood-brain barrier in the in vitro condition. Additionally, the current study found that ISB1 decreased rotenone-induced cell death in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells. In docking and simulation studies, the hydrogen bonding formed by the imino nitrogen in ISB1 and the pi-pi stacking interaction of the phenyl ring in isatin significantly aided in the protein-ligand complex's stability, effectively inhibiting MAO-B. According to these observations, the MAO-B inhibitors ISB1 and ISFB1 were potent, selective, and reversible, making them conceivable therapies for neurological diseases.

Abstract
This randomized, parallel-group study evaluated the plasma pharmacokinetic profile of safinamide in 24 healthy Chinese men and women, randomly assigned to receive 50 or 100 mg of safinamide as a single dose, followed, after a 7-day washout, by multiple doses once daily for 7 days. Plasma safinamide was determined up to 96 h after the first single dose (day 1) and the last multiple dose (day 14), and up to 24 h after the first multiple dose (day 8). Following single- and multiple-dose administration, peak concentrations were achieved at a median time of 1.5-2 h. Plasma exposure increased in a dose-proportional manner. After single dose, mean half-life was 23-24 h. Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) from time zero extrapolated to infinity was only slightly higher than AUC from time zero to the last quantifiable concentration, corresponding for the 2 parameters, respectively, to 12,380 and 11,560 ng • h/mL for the 50 mg and to 22,030 and 20,790 ng • h/mL for the 100-mg dose. AUC in the dosing interval at steady state was 13,150 and 23,100 ng • h/mL for 50 and 100 mg of safinamide. Steady state was reached in 6 days, accumulation was approximately twofold, and the pharmacokinetics were time independent. The plasma safinamide pharmacokinetic profile observed in this study is in line with the published results in both Chinese and non-Asian populations.

Abstract
A fast, simple, and sensitive ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established for the quantification of safinamide in rat plasma. Plasma samples were treated with acetonitrile for protein precipitation, and diazepam was used as an internal standard (IS). The analytes were separated on an Acquity UPLC C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) chromatographic column with gradient elution using a mobile phase (0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile). Then, the eluates were detected by electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive ion mode. The analytes were quantified by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the transition m/z 303.3→215.0 of safinamide and m/z 285.0→154.0 of IS. Safinamide had good linearity in the concentration range of 1.0-2000 ng/mL, and the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 1.0 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy of safinamide were less than 7.63%, while the average recovery rate was 92.98%-100.29%. The method was validated to be stable and had low noise, short chromatographic run time, wide linear range, small sample volumes, low sample injection volumes, and high sensitivity. Therefore, it can be used in pharmacokinetics and preclinical and clinical studies.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) in military personnel engaged in combat operations is likely to develop in their later lives. In order to enhance the quality of lives of PD patients, exploration of novel therapy based on new research strategies is highly warranted. The hallmarks of PD include increased alpha synuclein (ASNC) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leading to brain pathology. In addition, there are evidences showing increased histaminergic nerve fibers in substantia niagra pars compacta (SNpc), striatum (STr), and caudate putamen (CP) associated with upregulation of histamine H3 receptors and downregulation of H4 receptors in human brain. Previous studies from our group showed that modulation of potent histaminergic H3 receptor inverse agonist BF-2549 or clobenpropit (CLBPT) partial histamine H4 agonist with H3 receptor antagonist induces neuroprotection in PD brain pathology. Recent studies show that PD also enhances amyloid beta peptide (AβP) depositions in brain. Keeping these views in consideration in this review, nanowired delivery of monoclonal antibodies to AβP together with ASNC and H3/H4 modulator drugs on PD brain pathology is discussed based on our own observations. Our investigation shows that TiO2 nanowired BF-2649 (1 mg/kg, i.p.) or CLBPT (1 mg/kg, i.p.) once daily for 1 week together with nanowired delivery of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to AβP and ASNC induced superior neuroprotection in PD-induced brain pathology. These observations are the first to show the modulation of histaminergic receptors together with antibodies to AβP and ASNC induces superior neuroprotection in PD. These observations open new avenues for the development of novel drug therapies for clinical strategies in PD.

Abstract
Nondopaminergic neurotransmitters such as adenosine, norepinephrine, serotonin, glutamate, and acetylcholine are all involved in Parkinson's disease (PD) and promote its symptoms. Therefore, nondopaminergic receptors are key targets for developing novel preparations for the management of motor and non-motor symptoms in PD, without the potential adverse events of dopamine replacement therapy. We reviewed English-written articles and ongoing clinical trials of nondopaminergic treatments for PD patients till 2014 to summarize the recent findings on nondopaminergic preparations for the treatment of PD patients. The most promising research area of nondopaminergic targets is to reduce motor complications caused by traditional dopamine replacement therapy, including motor fluctuations and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Istradefylline, Safinamide, and Zonisamide were licensed for the management of motor fluctuations in PD patients, while novel serotonergic and glutamatergic agents to improve motor fluctuations are still under research. Sustained- release agents of Amantadine were approved for treating levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID), and serotonin 5HT1B receptor agonist also showed clinical benefits to LID. Nondopaminergic targets were also being explored for the treatment of non-motor symptoms of PD. Pimavanserin was approved globally for the management of hallucinations and delusions related to PD psychosis. Istradefylline revealed beneficial effect on daytime sleepiness, apathy, depression, and lower urinary tract symptoms in PD subjects. Droxidopa may benefit orthostatic hypotension in PD patients. Safinamide and Zonisamide also showed clinical efficacy on certain non-motor symptoms of PD patients. Nondopaminergic drugs are not expected to replace dopaminergic strategies, but further development of these drugs may lead to new approaches with positive clinical implications.

Abstract
The conceptual layout of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors has been modified to explore their potential biological application in the case of neurological disorders for the time being. The current review article is an effort to display the summation of innovative conceptual prospects of MAO inhibitors and their intriguing chemistry and bioactivity. Based on this scenario, we emphasize the pivotal role of the benzyloxy moiety attached to scaffolds like oxadiazolones, indolalkylamines, safinamide, caffeine, benzofurans, α-tetralones, β-nitrostyrene, benzoquinones, coumarins, indoles, chromones, and chromanone analogs, while acting as an MAO inhibitor.

Abstract
Introduction Parkinson’s therapeutic interventions are only symptomatic. An optimal treatment should therefore address the largest number of motor and non-motor symptoms, to manage patients at best. Safinamide is one of the most recent approved drugs for fluctuating patients, in add-on to levodopa, that remains the gold standard treatment. It has a unique mechanism of action, both dopaminergic (as MAO-B inhibitor) and glutamatergic (through Na+ channel blockade). Results from Phase III trials, post-hoc analyses and real-life experiences suggest a beneficial effect on motor (such as tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity and gait) and non-motor (pain, mood, sleep) symptoms. Areas Covered Here, the authors discuss clinical efficacy and safety of safinamide, identifying the patients’ profiles that could benefit most. A search in PubMed was performed in September 2020, with no time limits. Publications’ abstracts were reviewed. Conclusion Safinamide is peculiar due to its double mechanism of action. Its benefits in improving motor functions and fluctuations, and some non-motor symptoms, could have a valuable impact on patients’ quality of life (QoL), together with its safety profile.

Abstract
A LiOH-promoted hydrolysis selective C-N cleavage of twisted N-acyl glutarimide for the synthesis of primary amides under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction is triggered by a ring opening of glutarimide followed by C-N cleavage to afford primary amides using 2 equiv of LiOH as the base at room temperature. The efficacy of the reactions was considered and administrated for various aryl and alkyl substituents in good yield with high selectivity. Moreover, gram-scale synthesis of primary amides using a continuous flow method was achieved. It is noted that our new methodology can apply under both batch and flow conditions for synthetic and industrial applications.
