Cl-NQTrp Alleviates Tauopathy Symptoms in a Model Organism through the Inhibition of Tau Aggregation-Engendered Toxicity
Neurodegener Dis 2017;17(2-3):73-82.PMID:27760426DOI:10.1159/000448518.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most abundant tauopathy and is characterized by Aβ-derived plaques and tau-derived tangles, resulting from the unfolding of the corresponding monomeric subunits into ordered β-sheet oligomers and fibrils. Intervening in the toxic aggregation process is a promising therapeutic approach, but, to date, a disease-modifying therapy is neither available for AD nor for other tauopathies. Along these lines, we have previously demonstrated that a small naphthoquinone-tryptophan hybrid, termed NQTrp, is an effective modulator of tauopathy in vitro and in vivo. However, NQTrp is difficult to synthesize and is not very stable. Therefore, we tested whether a more stable and easier-to-synthesize modified version of NQTrp, containing a Cl ion, namely Cl-NQTrp, is also an effective inhibitor of tau aggregation in vitro and in vivo. Cl-NQTrp was previously shown to efficiently inhibit the aggregation of various amyloidogenic proteins and peptides. We demonstrate that Cl-NQTrp inhibits the in vitro assembly of PHF6, the aggregation-prone fragment of tau, and alleviates tauopathy symptoms in a transgenic Drosophila model through the inhibition of tau aggregation-engendered toxicity. These results suggest that Cl-NQTrp could be a unique potential therapeutic for AD since it targets aggregation of both Aβ and tau.
Mechanistic insights into remodeled Tau-derived PHF6 peptide fibrils by Naphthoquinone-Tryptophan hybrids
Sci Rep 2018 Jan 8;8(1):71.PMID:29311706DOI:10.1038/s41598-017-18443-2.
Intra-cellular tau protein tangles and extra-cellular β-amyloid plaques are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by the conversion of natively unfolded monomeric protein/peptide into misfolded β-sheet rich aggregates. Therefore, inhibiting the aggregation cascade or disassembling the pre-formed aggregates becomes a pivotal event in disease treatment. In the present study, we show that Naphthoquinone-Tryptophan hybrids, i.e., NQTrp and Cl-NQTrp significantly disrupted the pre-formed fibrillar aggregates of Tau-derived PHF6 (VQIVYK) peptide and full-length tau protein in vitro, in a dose-dependent manner as evident from ThS assay, CD spectroscopy, and TEM. Molecular dynamics simulation of PHF6 oligomers and fibrils with the Naphthoquinone-Tryptophan hybrids provides a possible structure-function based mechanism-of-action, highlighting the role of hydrophobic interaction and hydrogen bond formation during fibril disassembly. These findings signify the effectiveness of NQTrp and Cl-NQTrp in disassembling fibrillar aggregates and may help in designing novel hybrid molecules for AD treatment.
Naphthoquinone-tyrptophan reduces neurotoxic Aβ*56 levels and improves cognition in Alzheimer's disease animal model
Neurobiol Dis 2012 Jun;46(3):663-72.PMID:22449754DOI:10.1016/j.nbd.2012.03.005.
An increasing body of evidence indicates a role for oligomers of the amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) in the neurotoxicity of this peptide and the pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Several neurotoxic oligomeric forms of Aβ have been noted ranging from the larger Amyloid β-Derived Diffusible Ligands (ADDLs) to smaller trimers and dimers of Aβ. More recently a dodecameric form of Aβ with a 56 kDa molecular weight, denoted Aβ*56, was shown to cause memory impairment in AD model mice. Here, we present for the first time a potential therapeutic strategy for AD that targets the early stages in the formation of neurotoxic Aβ*56 oligomers using a modified quinone-Tryptophan small molecule N-(3-chloro-1,4-dihydro-1,4-dioxo-2-naphthalenyl)-L-Tryptophan (Cl-NQTrp). Using NMR spectroscopy we show that this compound binds the aromatic recognition core of Aβ and prevents the formation of oligomers. We assessed the effect of Cl-NQTrp in vivo in transgenic flies expressing Aβ(1-42) in their nervous system. When these flies were fed with Cl-NQTrp a marked alleviation of their Aβ-engendered reduced life span and defective locomotion was observed. Finally, intraperitoneal injection of Cl-NQTrp into an aggressive AD mouse model reduced the level of the Aβ*56 species in their brain and reversed their cognitive defects. Further experiments should assess whether this is a direct effect of the drug in the brain or an indirect peripheral effect. This is the first demonstration that targeted reduction of Aβ*56 results in amelioration of AD symptoms. This second generation of tryptophan-modified naphthoquinones could therefore serve as potent disease modifying therapeutic for AD.
An amyloidogenic hexapeptide from the cataract-associated γD-crystallin is a model for the full-length protein and is inhibited by naphthoquinone-tryptophan hybrids
Int J Biol Macromol 2020 Aug 15;157:424-433.PMID:32302630DOI:10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2020.04.079.
The eye lens is rich in proteins called crystallins, whose native conformation is crucial for preserving its transparency. With aging, crystallins may be exposed to environmental changes, which could lead to their aggregation and eventually to cataract development. Human γD-crystallin, among the most abundantly expressed γ-crystallins in the lens, was shown to form amyloid aggregates under denaturing conditions in vitro. However, the exact mechanism of aggregation remains to be clearly defined. Here, using prediction algorithms and biophysical methods, we identified a hexapeptide 41GCWMLY46 as a most aggregative fragment in human γD-crystallin. Two aromatic naphthoquinone-tryptophan hybrid molecules (NQTrp and Cl-NQTrp), inhibited the in vitro aggregation of this hexapeptide as well as full-length γD-crystallin in a dose-dependent manner, plausibly facilitated by hydrogen bonding and aromatic contacts with the hydrophobic residues. The two compounds had no toxic effect toward retinal cell culture and reduced the cytotoxicity induced by aggregates of the hexapeptide. In addition, NQTrp and Cl-NQTrp were able to disassemble pre-formed aggregates of the hexapeptide and the full-length γD-crystallin. Our results indicate that the amyloidogenic hexapeptide is a useful model for screening inhibitors of γD-crystallin and that the NQTrp hybrid scaffolds may serve as leads for developing new drugs for treating cataract.
