N-LINKED UREA OR CARBAMATE OF HETEROCICLES TIOESTERS FOR DISEASES OF VISION AND
THE MEMORY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating vision loss, preventing
degeneration of vision, and promote the regeneration of vision ("neopsis") using small molecule, low molecular weight derivatives.
2. Description of the Related Art 15 The visual system is composed of the eyes, ocular attachment and visual routes. The dysfunction of the visual system can lead to permanent or temporary visual diminution, that is, a deviation from the normal in one or more functions of the eye. Visual diminution manifests itself in various forms and
includes a wide range of dysfunctions and visual disturbances. Without limitation, these dysfunctions and disturbances include partial or total loss of vision, the need to correct visual acuity for near and far objects, loss of visual field, decreased eye mobility without diplopia (double vision),
diminished or skewed perception of color, adaptation limited to

R ..,. .i "iii - naMah ^^^^ M ^^^^^^^ and ^ light and darkness, diminished accommodation, metamorphosis distortion, diminished binocular vision, accommodation paresis, iridoplegia, entropion, ectropion, epiphora, lagophthalmos, and cicatrization. See Physicians' Desk Reference (PDR) for Ophthalmology, 16th Edition, 6:47 (1988). The visual system can be adversely affected by various ophthalmological disorders, diseases, wounds and complications, including without limitation, genetic disorders; [non-genetic disorders] disorders associated with aging or degenerative diseases; disorders that correlate to the physical wound of the eye, head, or other parts of the body resulting from external forces; disorders resulting from environmental factors; disorders that result from a wide range of diseases; and combinations of any of the foregoing. The visual system is a complex system composed of numerous components. The visual decrease may involve the entire visual system, some component or any combination of components, depending on the precise nature of the circumstances. The eye is composed of a lens, which is suspended in Zinn's zonules and is focused by the ciliary body. The ciliary body also secretes accuse humor, which fills the posterior chamber, passes through the pupil into the anterior chamber, then drains mainly through the Schlemm's canal. The iris regulates the amount of light that enters the eye by adjusting the size of its central opening, the pupil. An image
^ JJKjy visual focuses on the retina, the central fovea being the area of the retina of sharpest visual acuity. The conjunctiva is the mucous membrane which covers the eyelids and the eyeball, and ends abruptly in the limbus of the conjunctivae, the end of the conjunctiva that overlaps the cornea. The cornea is the clear transparent anterior portion of the fibrous covering of the eye; it is important for the refraction of light and is covered with an epithelium that differs in many aspects from the conjunctival epithelium. The retina is the innermost light sensitive portion of the eye, which contains two types of photoreceptors, cones, which are responsible for color vision in brighter light, and rods, which are essential for vision in dim light but does not perceive colors. After the light passes through the cornea, the lens system, and the vitreous humor, enters the retina from the inside; that is, it passes through the cells of the ganglion and nerve fibers, and the plexiform layers, internal and external, the inner and outer nuclear layers, and the internal and external limiting membranes before it finally reaches the layer of photoreceptors located nearby. from the outside of the retina, just inside the outermost pigmented epithelium layer. Cells of the pigment epithelium layer act as an anatomical barrier for liquids and substances located on the outer side of the eye, forming the "blood-retinal" barrier, and provide nutrition, oxygen, a source of functionally useful substances such as vitamin A , and phagocytosis of the decomposition products of the photoreceptor cells. There is no anatomical connection between the pigmented epithelium and the photoreceptor layer, allowing the separation of the layers in some pathological situations. When rods or cones are excited by light, the signals are transmitted through successive neurons in the retina itself, within the optic nerve fibers, and finally in the cerebral cortex. The rods and cones contain molecules that
decompose on exposure to light and, in the process, excite the nerve fibers that advance from the eye. The molecule in the rods is rodoxin. The three light sensitive molecules in the cones, collectively called iodopsin, have compositions only slightly different from those of the rodoxin and are excited
maximum by red, blue or green light respectively. Neither rods nor cones generate action potentials. Rather, the hyperpolarization of the membrane induced by light generated in the external photosensitive segment of a rod cell or cone is transmitted from the outer segment to
through the internal segment to the synaptic body by direct conduction of the electric voltage itself, a process called electrotonic conduction. In the synaptic body, the potential of the membrane controls the release of an unknown transmitter molecule. In low light, the membranes of the
cane cell and cone are depolarized and the speed of
"i '" "*" "" * ^' - - "*" "^ j ^ in the release of the transmitter is the largest, the hyperpolarization induced by light causes a marked decrease in the release of transmitting molecules. The cells in the cane and cone induce signals in the bipolar neurons and the horizontal cells.The signals in both cells are also transmitted by electrotonic conduction and not by action potential.The bipolar cane neurons connect with as many as 50 cane cells, While diffuse and dwarf bipolar cells connect one or more cone cells, a depolarizing bipolar cell is stimulated when its connecting rods or cones are exposed to light.The release of transmitting molecules inhibits the depolarizing bipolar cell. When the rods and cones secrete large amounts of transmitting molecules, the depolarizing bipolar cells are inhibited. Decrease in the release of transmitting molecules from rods and cones reduces the inhibition of the bipolar cell, allowing it to become aroused. In this way, positive and negative signals can be transmitted through different bipolar cells from the rods and cones to the amacrine and ganglion cells. As its name suggests, horizontal cells project horizontally into the retina, where they can synapse with canes, cones, other horizontal cells or a combination of cell types. The function of the horizontal cells is not clear, although some mechanism has been postulated in the convergence of the photoreceptor signaling. All types of bipolar cells connect with ganglion cells, which are of two main types. The 5 cells of the type A ganglion connect predominantly with bipolar rod cells, while the cells of the type B ganglion connect predominantly with diffuse and dwarf bipolar cells. It seems that type A ganglion cells are sensitive to contrast, light intensity, and movement perception, while
that type B ganglion cells seem more interested in color vision and visual acuity. Like horizontal cells, amacrine cells synapse horizontally with several to many other cells, in this case bipolar cells, ganglion cells, and other cells
of amacrine. The function of the amacrine cells is unclear. The axons of the ganglion cells carry signals within the nervous fiber layer of the eye, where the axons converge on fibers which converge additionally on the optic disc, where they leave the eye as the nerve
optical. The ganglion cells transmit their signals through the optic nerve fibers to the brain in the form of action potentials. These cells, even when not stimulated, transmit nerve impulses at an average baseline rate of about 5 per second. The visual signal is
overlays on this level of baseline stimulation of
- * - * - - - - ganglion cell It can be either an excitation signal, with the number of impulses increasing above the baseline rate, or an inhibition signal, with the number of nerve impulses decreasing below As a part of the central nervous system, the eye is in some ways an extension of the brain, as such it has a limited capacity for regeneration.This limited regenerative capacity further complicates the challenging task of improving the addition, resolve the dysfunction of the visual system and / or
treat or prevent ophthalmological disorders. Many eye disorders such as photic wound of the retina, eye injury induced by retinal ischemia, age-related macular degeneration, eye diseases induced by free radicals, as well as numerous other disorders, are considered to be
completely intractable. Other ophthalmological disorders, for example, disorders that cause permanent visual decline, are corrected only by the use of ophthalmic devices and / or surgery, with varying degrees of success. The immunosuppressant drugs FK506, rapamycin, and
Cyclosporin are well known as potent immunosuppressants specific for T cells and are effective against autoimmunity, transplant or graft rejection, inflammation, allergic responses, other autoimmune or immune-mediated diseases, and infectious diseases. It has been described that
the application of ciclosporin, FK-506, Rapamycin, Buspirone,
* - • --- > - > • - Spiperone, and / or its derivatives are effective in treating some ophthalmological disorders of these types. It is known that various ophthalmological disorders or vision problems are associated with autoimmune and immunologically mediated activities; in consequence, the immunomodulatory compounds are expected to demonstrate efficiency in treating those types of ophthalmological disorders or vision problems. The effects of FK506, Rapamycin, and related agents in the treatment of ophthalmic diseases are
describes in various North American patents (Goulet et al., US Patent No. 5,532,248, Mochizuki et al., US Patent No. 5,514,686, Luly et al., US Patent No. 5,457,111; Russo et al., US Patent No. 5,441,937.; Kulkarni, North American Patent
No. 5,387,589; Asakura et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,368,865; Goulet et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,258,389; Armistead et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,192,773; Goulet et al., US Patent No. 5,189,042; and Fehr, U.S. Patent No. 5,011,844). These patents claim the
compounds related to FK506 or Rapamycin and describe the known use of compounds related to FK506 or Rapamycin in the treatment of ophthalmological disorders in association with the known immunosuppressive effects of FK506 and Rapamycin. The compounds described in these patents are
relatively large. Additionally, the patents cited are
"K > ** T-- • *;. ^^^^ A ^ ZyjA ^ V refer to immunomodulatory compounds limited to treating autoimmunity or related diseases, or immunologically mediated diseases, for which the efficiency of FK506 and Rapamycin is well known Other US patents describe the use of cyclosporin, Spiperone, Buspirone, its derivatives, and other immunosuppressant compounds for use in the treatment of ophthalmological diseases (Sharpe et al., US Patent No. 5,703,088; Sharpe et al., Patent North American No. 5,693,645, Sullivan, US Patent No. 5,688,765, Sullivan, US Patent No. 5,620,921, Sharpe et al., US Patent No. 5,574,041, Eberle, US Patent No. 5,284,826, Sharpe et al., US Patent No. 5,244,902; Chiou et al., US Patents Nos. 5,198,454 and 5,194,434; and Kaswan, US Patent No. 4,839,342). These patents also refer to compounds for treating autoimmune diseases and cite the known use of cyclosporin, spiperone, buspirone, its derivatives, and other immunosuppressant compounds in the treatment of ocular inflammation and other immunologically mediated ophthalmological diseases. The immunosuppressive compounds described in the prior art suppress the immune system, by definition, and also exhibit other toxic side effects. Accordingly, there is a need for small molecule, non-immunosuppressant compounds, and compositions and methods for use of such compounds that are useful for improving vision; prevent, treat and / or repair the visual decrease or dysfunction of the visual system; and preventing, treating, and / or resolving ophthalmological disorders. There are also a number of patents of non-immunosuppressive compounds that describe methods of use to allow or promote the healing of injuries (whether it is from wounds or surgery); control intraocular pressure (which frequently results from
glaucoma); control neurodegenerative disorders of the eye, including damage or injury to retinal neurons, including damage or injury to retinal ganglion cells, and degeneration of the macula; stimulate neurite growth; prevent or reduce damage oxidative damage caused by radicals
free; and treating the decreased supply of oxygen and nutrients, as well as the decreased elimination of waste products resulting from low blood flow. These non-immunosuppressive substances fall into one of two general categories: molecules that occur naturally, such as
proteins, glycoproteins, peptides, hormones and growth factors; and synthetic molecules. Within the group of non-immunosuppressive molecules that occur naturally, various hormones, growth factors, and signaling molecules have been patented for use as
supplements to the amounts that occur naturally from such
r-ritirt-r T 'r * - • -? l - * - * - - - * ----- * molecules, as well as to select specific cells where the particular molecule does not occur naturally in a mature individual. These patents generally claim methods of use for reducing or preventing the symptoms of eye disease, or stopping or reversing the loss of vision. Specifically, Louis et al., US Patent Nos. 5,736,516 and 5,641,749, describe the use of a glial cell line derived from neurotrophic factor (GDNF) to stop or reverse the degeneration of retinal neurons (ie, photoreceptors) and retinal ganglion cells caused by glaucoma, or other diseases or degenerative or traumatic wounds of the retina. O'Brien, et al., US Patent Nos. 5,714,459 and 5,700,909, describe the use of a glycoprotein, saposin, and its derivatives to stimulate neurite growth and increase myelination. To stop or reverse the degeneration of retinal neurons, LaVail et al., US Patent No. 5,667,968, discloses the use of a variety of neurotrophic proteins, including neurotrophic factor derived from the brain, ciliary neurotrophic factor, neurotrophin 3 or neurotrophin-4, acidic or basic fibroblast growth factors, interleukin, tumor necrosis factor-a, insulin-like growth factor-2, and other growth factors. Wong et al., US Patent No. 5,632,984, describes the use of interferons, especially interferon a-2a, to treat the symptoms of macular degeneration by reducing hemorrhage.
• lIiÜ MtfM-1 and limiting neovascularization. Finally, Wallace et al., US Patent No. 5,441,937, describes the use of a lung-derived neurotrophic factor (NTF) to maintain the functionality of ciliary ganglion cells and parasympathetic neurons. A key feature of the factors derived from specific cell lines is their location in specific cell lines or tissues; Systemic treatment with these molecules would run a substantial risk of unwanted, and potentially dangerous, effects on cell lines where the genes encoding these molecules are inactive. Similarly, hormones and growth factors frequently activate a large number of genes in many cell lines; again, the non-localized application of these molecules would run a substantial risk of provoking an inappropriate and potentially dangerous response. Within the category of synthetic molecules, most of the patented compounds are immunosuppressants and describe uses to treat inflammatory, autoimmune, and allergic responses, as discussed above. Some others are not immunosuppressants and claim the ability to treat cell degeneration; and in some cases it promotes cellular regeneration, more frequently in the context of its antioxidant properties.
Specifically, Tso et al., US Patent No. 5,527,533, describes the use of astaxanthin, an antioxidant carotenoid, to prevent or reduce photoreceptor damage resulting from the presence of free radicals. Similarly, Babcock 5 et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,252,319, discloses the use of antioxidant amlnosteroids to treat eye diseases and wounds, by increasing resistance to oxylative damage. Freeman, US Patent No. 5,468,752, describes the use of antiviral phosphonylmethoxyalkylcytosine to reduce pressure
abnormally increased intraocular. Hamilton and Steiner describe in US Pat. No. 5,614,547 novel carboxylated pyrrolidine compounds which bind to the immunophillin FKBP12 and stimulate nerve growth, but which
lack immunosuppressive effects. Unexpectedly, it has been discovered that these non-immunosuppressive compounds promote improvements in vision and resolve ophthalmological disorders. Their novel structure of small molecule and non-inmusupresor properties differentiates them from the FK506 and the
related immunosuppressant compounds found in the prior art. Additionally, these compounds can be differentiated from the non-immunosuppressive compounds used to treat vision disorders because of their novel molecule structure.
small and its lack of general systemic effects. The
^^ & ¿^ ^^^ ...-, »-. : z.-.- .-. . .. .. ........ -Ay, y- ~ ITL Hormones, growth factors, cytokines, and signaling molecules that occur naturally are usually multifunctional and activate many genes in various cell lines. The present compounds, in this way, do not avoid the unexpected, and potentially dangerous, side effects of systemic use. Similarly, the present compounds also avoid the potential unexpected side effects of introducing specific cell line molecules into other cell lines where they do not occur naturally.

Brief Description of the Drawings Figures 1A, B and C show that GPl 1046 protects retinal ganglion cells against degeneration after retinal ischemia. Figure 2 shows that GPl 1046 prevents degeneration of optic nerve and myelin axons after retinal ischemia. Figure 3 shows that GPl 1046 provides moderate protection against death of retinal ganglion cells after transection of the optic nerve. Figure 4 shows that the duration of treatment with GPl 1046 significantly affects the degeneration process of the optic nerve axon after transection. Figure 5 shows that treatment with GPl 1046 produces a larger effect on axons of the optic nerve than bodies of ganglion cells. Figure 6 shows that treatment with GPl 1046 for 28 days after transection of the optic nerve prevents myelin degeneration in the proximal stump. Figure 7 shows that FKBP-12 immunohistochemistry marks oligodendroglia (large dark cells with fibrous processes), cells that produce myelin, located between the fascicles of optic nerve fibers, and also some axons of the optic nerve. Figure 8 shows that treatment with GPl 1046 for 28 days after the transection of the optic nerve prevents the degeneration of myelin in the distal stump. Figure 9 shows that the 28-day treatment with GPl 1046 treatment that started 8 weeks after the onset of diabetes induced by streptozotocin decreases the degree of neovascularization in the internal and external retina and protects the neurons in the inner nuclear layer (INL) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) of degeneration.

KL Test Procedure The inhibition of the peptidyl-propyl isomerase (rotamase) activity of the compounds used in the inventive methods and pharmaceutical compositions can be evaluated by known methods described in the literature (Harding et al., Nature, 1989, 341 : 758-760; Holt et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc, 115: 9923-9938). These values are obtained as K, apparent and are presented by representative compounds in TABLE II The cis-trans isomerization of an alanine-proline bond in a model substrate, N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p-nitroanilide , is verified spectrophotometrically in a coupled assay of chymotrypsin, which releases para-nitroanilide from the trans form of the substrate. The inhibition of this reaction caused by the addition of different concentrations of the inhibitor is determined, and the data is analyzed as a change in the first-order velocity constant as a concentration function to produce the apparent K-values. 950 mL of cold assay regulator (25 mM HEPES, pH 7.8, 100 mM NaCl), 10 mL of FKBP (2.5 mM in 10 mM Tris-Cl pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl are added in a plastic cuvette). , 1 mM dithiothreitol), 25 mL of chymotrypsin (50 mg / mL in 1 mM HCl) and 10 mL of the test compound at various concentrations in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction is initiated by the addition of 5 mL of the substrate (succinyl-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-para-nitroanilide, 5 mg / mL in 2.35 mM LiCl in trifluoroethanol). The absorbance at 390 nm is checked against time for 90 seconds using a spectrophotometer and the rate constants are determined from the absorbance against time of the data files. 10 TABLE II In Vitro Test Results - Formulas I to V Composite Ki (nM) 1 + + + 15 2 + + 3 + + 4 + + 5 + + 6 + 20 7 + + 8 + + + Table II (continued) Compound Ki (nM) 9 + + + 25 10 + + +

Figure 1. GPl 1046 protects the retinal ganglion cells against degeneration after retinal ischemia. The retinal ganglion cells were retrogradely labeled in adult rats by bilateral injection of gold fluoride into their lateral geniculate nucleus. The ganglion cells labeled in the normal rat retina appeared as white profiles against the dark background (Figure 1A). Complete retinal ischemia occurred by infusion of normal saline solution into the vitreous retinal cavity of each eye until the intraocular pressure exceeded arterial blood pressure. 28 days after the ischemic episode, the extensive degeneration of the retinal ganglion cell was evidenced by the massive reduction in the density of cells marked with fluorine-gold (Figure 1B). The administration of GPl 1046 (10 mg / kg, sc) 1 hour before the ischemic episode and at 10 mg / kg / day for the next four days produced remarkable protection of a large proportion of the vulnerable ganglion cell population (Figure 1C) .
Figure 2. GPl 1046 prevents degeneration of axons of the optic nerve and myelin after retinal ischemia Examination of the optic nerves of the same cases 5 of ischemia of the retinal revealed that GPl 1046 produces dramatic protection of the optic nerve element of ischemic degeneration. Toluidine blue staining of cross sections of the optic nerve embedded in epon revealed the detail of covers (white circles) and axons of the optic nerve
(black centers) in the optic nerve of the normal rat. The optic nerves of the vehicle-treated cases examined 28 days after a 1-hour retinal ischemic episode are characterized by a decreased density of optic nerve axons and the appearance of numerous degenerated myelin figures
(circles full bright white). Treatment with GPl 1046 protected most of the optic nerve axons from degeneration and also dramatically decreased the density of the degenerated myelin figures. Figure 3. GPl 1046 provides moderate protection

Few preframed ganglion cells left over from fluorine-gold are present in vehicle-treated cases (large white figures) between a population of small microglia that digests the degenerated cell debris and takes the fluorine-gold label (Figure 3A). Treatment with GPl 1046 for 14 days resulted in a small, but not significant increase in the density of retinal ganglion cells that survived 90 days after transection (Table 1) but treatment with 1010 GPl during the first 28 days after the transection produced moderate, but significant protection of 12.6% of the population of vulnerable ganglion cells (Table 1, Figure 3B).
Figure 4. The duration of treatment with GPl 1046 significantly affects the process of axonal degeneration of the optic nerve after transection. The axon density examination of the optic nerve in the proximal optic nerve stump of the same cases revealed a more dramatic protection produced by the 1046 GPl treatment. 90 days after the transection a few axons of ganglion cells remain inside the nerve optic (Figure 4B), representing only 5.6% of the normal population. The loss of axons reflects the death of the retinal ganglion cells and the regression or "subsequent death" of the axons of ~ 70% of the small population of surviving ganglion cells
within the retina itself (Table 1). Treatment with GPl 1046 during the first 14 days after the transection of the optic nerve produced a small, but significant protection of 5.3% of the axons of the optic nerve (Figure 4D, Table 1), but treatment with the same dose of GPl 1046 for 28 days resulted in the protection of optic nerve axons for the vast majority (81.4%) of the remaining retinal ganglion cells (Figure 4C, Table 1).
Figure 5. Treatment with GPl 1046 produces a greater effect on optic nerve axons than in ganglion cell bodies. This summarized figure shows data of the ganglion cell protection of Figure 3 and photomicrographs of higher power protection of the optic nerve axon (Figure 5A &B, upper panels). The 28 day treatment with GPl 1046 produced a significant increase in axon density of the large caliber optic nerve, and particularly medium and small (Figure 5C &D, lower panels).

(Figure 6A, left above). 90 days after the transection, the extensive degeneration of myelin is evident in cases treated with vehicle, characterized by the loss of the fascicular organization and the appearance of numerous dense large myelin figures (Figure 6B, right above). Treatment with GPl 1046 during the first 14 days after the transection of the optic nerve did not alter the myelin degeneration pattern (Figure 6C, lower left panel), and produced a negligible quantitative recovery of 1.6% in myelin density (Table 1). Extending the course of treatment of GPl 1046 through the first 28 days after the transection of the optic nerve produced a dramatic preservation of the fasicular staining pattern for the myelin basic protein in the proximal stump of the optic nerve and decreased the density of the figures of degenerated myelin (Figure 6D, lower right panel), representing a 70% recovery of myelin density (Table 1).

The complete transection of the optic nerve leads to the degeneration of the distal segments (axon fragments disconnected from the ganglion cell bodies), and the degeneration of their myelin sheaths. 90 days after the transection (Figure 8B) the immunohistochemistry of the myelin basic protein reveals the almost total loss of the fascicular organization (present in the normal optic nerve, Figure 8A) and the presence of numerous myelin figures of dense degeneration. The quantification reveals that the cross-sectional area of the transected distal stump shrinks by 31% and loses approximately V-¿of its myelin (Table 1). Treatment with 5 GPl 1046 during the first 14 days after the transection did not protect against shrinkage of the distal stump, but slightly increased myelin density, although the density of the degenerated myelin figures remained high. (Figure 8C, Table 1). Treatment with 1046 GPl during the first 28 days produced dramatic protection of the marked myelin fascicular pattern, decreased the density of the degenerated myelin figures, prevented the shrinkage of the transection of the distal stump of the transected nerve and maintained myelin levels at -99% of normal levels 5 (Figure 8D, Table 1).
^^ gA ^ * Figure 9. Treatment of 28 days with GPl 1046 starting treatment 8 weeks after the onset of streptozotocin-induced diabetes decreased grade 5 neovascularization in the internal and external retina and protected the neurons in the inner nuclear layer ( INL) and the ganglion cell layer (GCL) of degeneration. Negative images of tangential retinal sections stained with cresyl violet revealed pericarions in
the three cell layers (Figure 9A). The retina of animals treated with streptozotocin administered only with vehicle (Figure 9B) exhibited cell loss of the ONL and INL, decreased thickness of the outer plexiform layer (the dark area between ONL and INL) and a dramatic increase in size and
density of the retinal blood vessels (large black circular profiles) in INL, OPL, ONL and the photoreceptor layer (PR, the gray area above ONL). Treatment with GPl 1046 reduced neovascularization (ie prevented the proliferation of blood vessels) in PR, ONL, OPL and INL. Although GPl 1046 does not
seemed to protect against neuronal loss in the ONL, it seems to decrease the loss of neurons in the INL and GCL compared with the controls treated with this rep tozo toe i na / vehicle.

In vivo Retinal Ganglion Cells and Optic Nerve Axon Tests The degree of reduction or prevention of degeneration in retinal ganglion cells and axons of the optic nerve was determined in a model of vision loss using surgical transection of the nerve optical to simulate the mechanical damage of the optic nerve. The effects of several FKBP ligands of neuroimmunofilin on the neuroprotection of retinal ganglion cells and the density of optic nerve axon were determined experimentally, comparing 14-day and 28-day treatments of FKBP ligand of neuroimmunofilin. The effects of treatment with FKBP ligands of neuroimmunophilin on retinal ganglion cells and axons of the optic nerve were correlated.
Surgical Procedures Adult male Sprague Dawley rats (3 months old, 225-250 grams) were anesthetized with a mixture of ketamine (87 mg / kg) and xylazine (13 mg / kg). The retinal ganglion cells were pre-labeled by bilateral stereotaxic injection of the marker
Fluorescent fluorescent-gold transported retrogradely (FG, 0.5 microlitres of 2.5% solution in saline solution) at the LGNd coordinates (4.5 mm post ß, 3.5 mm lateral, 4.6 mm below the dura). Four days later, the rats labeled with FG underwent a second surgery for the

The experimental animals were divided into six experimental groups of six rats (12 eyes) per group. One group received a FKBP neuroinmunophilin ligand (10 milligrams per kg per day sc in PEG vehicle (20 percent propylene glycol, 20 percent ethanol, and 60 percent saline)) for 14 days. A second group received the same dose of FKBP ligand neuroinmunofilin for 28 days. Each treated group had a corresponding transection and imitation / surgery and transection control group which received a corresponding dosage of 14 or 28 days only with the vehicle. All animals were sacrificed 90 days after the transection of the optic nerve and perfused pericardially with formalin. All eyes and stumps of optic nerves were removed. Cases of the study were excluded if the optic nerve vasculature was damaged or if the FG mark was absent in the retina.
Cell Accounts of the Retinal Ganglia The retinas were removed from the eyes and prepared for full-length analysis. For each group, five eyes were selected with the dense and intense FG mark for quantitative analysis using a 20 power object. Digital images of five fields were obtained in the central retina (3-4 radial millimeters at the head of the optic nerve). Cells of the ganglion and microglia Grande (<18 μm), medium (12-16 μm), and small (<10 μm) labeled FG were counted in five fields of 400 μm by 400 μm per case, 5 cases per group.
Optical Nerve Examination Proximal and distal optic stumps were identified, measured and transferred to 30% sucrose saline. The proximal trunnions of five nerves were blocked and fixed in a jaw clip, and cross sections of 10 microns were cut in a cryostat; One of ten sections per set is saved. Sections including the region 1-2 mm behind the orbit were reacted for neurofilament immunohistochemistry RT97. Axonal density analysis of the optic nerve was performed using a power oil immersion lens 63, a Dage 81 camera, and the Simple Image Analysis program. Optical nerve axons RT97 were counted in three fields of 200 μm per 200 μ per nerve. The area of the nerve was also determined for each case at power 10. As graphically described in Table I & II, the course of treatment of 14 days with a ligand FKBP neuroinmunofilina provided moderate neuroprotection of the retinal ganglion cells observed 28 days after the transection of the optic nerve. However, 90 days after the
---,, ... AA.I. . A ...... AAA * ... ^ z -. A - * A t * transection, only 5% of the ganglion cell population remained viable. 90 days after the optic nerve transection the number of axons that persisted in the proximal stump of the optic nerve accounted for approximately half the number of surviving ganglion cells in groups of animals that received only the vehicle or the 14-day course of the treatment with a ligand FKBP neuroinmunofilina. These results indicate that almost half of the axons of the ganglion cells
transected retractions behind the head of the optic nerve, and that treatment with a FKBP ligand neuroimmunophilin during the first 14 days after the transection of the optic nerve is not sufficient to stop this retraction. As graphically described in Table I & II, a
Longer treatment with a FKBP ligand neuroimmunofilin during the course of 28 days of treatment produced a moderate increase in the neuroprotection of the retinal ganglion cells. Approximately 12% of the vulnerable population of retinal ganglion cells was protected. A
similar proportion (-50%) of axon density of the remaining optic nerve was also observed. These results demonstrate the surprising result that the degree of duration of treatment with FKBP neuroimmunophilin ligands at 28 days after transection completely stops the regression of the axons

Sprague Dawley were retrogradely marked by fluorine-gold injection in LGNd and four days later the optic nerves were transected 5 mm behind the globe. The groups of animals already received is GPI-1046 10 mg / kg / day s.c. or vehicle for 28 days. All animals and experimental controls were sacrificed 90 days after the transection. For 90 days only - 10% of the labeled FG ganglion cell population survived, but less than half of these neurons maintained axons that extended before the optic nerve head, as detected by neurofilament immunohistochemistry RT97. Treatment of GPI-1046 produced a moderate degree of neuroprotection pericarions, moderation of 25% of the ganglion cell population, and retained the axons of virtually all protected neurons in the proximal stump of the transected nerve. These results indicate that treatment with the neuroimmunophillic ligand FKBP GPI-1046 produced a fundamental alteration in the pathological process after damage to CNS tracts.
^^ H ^ - These results also demonstrate that the small-molecule neuroinmunophilin ligand GPl 1046 enhances the neurite outbreak in the culture, improves peripheral nerve regeneration, and stimulates outbreaks within CNS after partial 5-partiation.

The animals were evaluated weekly for signs of sensory neuropathy using the conventional hot plate and the tail blow apparatus test procedures. After six weeks, the treatment is already with GPI-1046 or vehicle was started. The results showed that the behavior test using the hot plate and tail blow apparatus indicated improvement in latency in injured animals treated for 6 weeks with GPI-1046 at 10 mg / kg s.c. The results also showed that GPI-1046 decreased the sequela of behavior of diabetic sensory neuropathy and may offer some relief for patients suffering from diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Morris Water Labyrinth / Evidence of Aging and Memory Test Old rodents exhibited marked individual differences in the functioning of a variety of behavioral tasks, including spatial discrimination of double selection in a modified T-maze, spatial discrimination, in a task of circular platform, passive abstinence, radial maze tasks, and space navigation in a pool. In all these tasks, a proportion of old rats or mice is also defected as the vast majority of young control animals, while other animals show severe decreases in memory function compared with young animals. For example, Fischer and colleagues showed that the proportion of rats that exhibit significant decreases in space navigation increases with age, (Fischer et al., 1991b) with 8% of all rats at 12 months of age, 45% at those of 18 months of age, 53% of those of 24 months of age, and 90% of those of 30 months of age exhibited decreases in spatial acquisition of the Morris water maze task relative to young controls. Specifically, the decline in rodent learning and spatial memory during aging has been accepted by many researchers as an intriguing correlative animal model of human senile dementia. Cholinergic function in the hippocampus has been studied extensively as a component of spatial learning in rodents, and the decline of cholinergic function of the hippocampus has been noted in parallel with the development of decreased learning and memory. In addition, it has been shown that other neurotransmitter systems contribute to spatial learning, and decline with age, such as the dopaminergic and noradrenergic, serotonergic and glutamatergic systems. Also, the reports on deficits of induction of long-term potentiation (LTP), of the hippocampus related to aging, a reduction in the frequency of theta rhythm, a loss of experience dependent on the elasticity of the location units of the hippocampus, and Reductions in hippocampal protein kinase C are in accordance with the concept that an underlying simple pathology can not be identified as the cause of the age-related decrease in behavior in rodents. However, the various experimental therapeutic proposals that have been taken to improve the function of memory in aged rodents have leaned somewhat towards the cholinergic hypothesis. 15 Morris's water labyrinth is widely used to evaluate the formation and retention of spatial memory in experimental animals. The test depends on the animal's ability to use spatial visual information to locate a submerged escape platform in a water tank. It is important that the tank itself be free of specific visual characteristics as much as possible - so, it is always in a circular shape, the sides remain smooth smooth and in uniform pale colors, and the water becomes opaque with pigment coloring non-toxic water or milk powder. This is to ensure that the animal navigates only by the use of visual clues more
^^^ gj ^ g ^^ g ^ í ^ g ^^ g ^ distant, or by the use of intra-labyrinth cues specifically provided by the experimenter. The tank fills up to a level that forces the animal to actively swim. Normal mice and rats react adversely to the swim portion of the test and will rise, and remain on, on an escape platform from which they are removed to a heated resting cage. If the platform is visible (ie, above the surface), the animals located in the tank will quickly learn to go to the platform and climb on it. The test with a visible platform will also ensure that the experimental animals are not blind and show sufficient motivation and resistance to perform the task, which may be important in experiments involving aged rodents. If the platform is invisible (ie, submerged just below the surface), normal animals learn to use distant visuals in the test room to orient themselves in the test tank, and, when they are placed in the tank, they will move quickly to the approximate location of the platform and that area circulates until the platform is found. The trajectory, speed and swimming time of the animals is tracked with a roof camera for later computer analysis. During the course of several successive tests, spatial learning can therefore be defined as a fall of the swim distance, or the time elapsed, from the placement in the tank to the escape on the invisible platform. The test can be adapted to assess various aspects of spatial memory: a) acquisition of a task with 5 clues, where the ability of the animal to attach a visual clue directly to the escape platform depends on the cortical function (ie, it is suspended a ball on the escape platform and the animal learns to follow this track to find the platform); b) acquisition of a spatial task, where the
The ability of the animal to learn the location of a submerged escape platform based on the combination of distant visual clues depends on the function of the hippocampus (ie, the animal learns to triangulate its position in the tank by visually aligning the paper towel dispenser with the door and the
ceiling lamp); c) retention of a successfully acquired spatial task, which is predominantly dependent on cortical function (ie, the animal must remember the spatial location of the platform for several weeks); d) a reverse hippocampus-dependent task where the animal must reacquire
a new space platform location (ie, the platform moves to a new location between swimming tests and the animal must abandon its previous search strategy and acquire a new one). These different modifications of the procedure of
Morris water maze can be applied in sequence to the
"" "fr - * - * - • - ¿fe - * - same set of experimental animals and allows a complete characterization of its memory function and its decline with normal aging.In addition, such series of sequential memory tests sheds some light on the functional integrity of specific brain systems involved in the acquisition and retention of spatial memory (for example, rats with cholinergic lesions of the hippocampus may remember the location of a platform acquired weeks earlier, but persevere on location from the old platform
after the platform moves).
EXAMPLE 20 EFFECTS OF THE CHRONIC ADMINISTRATION OF GPI-1046 ON LEARNING AND SPACE MEMORY IN RODENTS 15 OLD This example shows the effects of chronic treatment with the ligand FKBP GPI-1046 systematically available in learning and spatial memory in old rodents. The procedure involves the use of male mice
C57BL / 6N-Nia three months old (young) and 18-19 months old (old) used to the well-known and conventional Morris water maze during a visible platform training phase of 4 tests / day, 3 -4 days. The subsequent spatial acquisition test was conducted as follows: All
mice had 4 trials / day (block) for 5 days. He
- ^ n maximum swimming time was 90 seconds. The old mice were housed in a group "decreased by age" if their functioning during blocks 4 or 5 of the acquisition phase was > 1 S.D. above the average of "young" mice, and to a group 5"not decreased by age" if its functioning was < 0.5 S.D. above the average of "young" mice. The old groups were then divided into statistically similar "GPI-1046" and "vehicle" groups. Daily treatment with 10 mg / kg of GPI-1046 was initiated
3 days after the end of the training acquisition, and continued through the retention test. The retention test began after 3 weeks of dosing using the same methods as in the acquisition phase. Swimming distances (cm) were analyzed in a 7X5 ANOVA
including Groups and Blocks (1-5) as factors in the analysis, treating the Blocks as a repeated measure. The results showed that planned contrasts revealed that there are significant differences between the "young" groups and those treated with "GPI-1046 and vehicle weakened by the
age "at the end of the acquisition phase, F1 58 = 26.75, P = 0.0001, and F1 58 = 17.70, P = 0.0001 respectively.While there were no significant differences between the two" weakened old "groups, F1 58 = 0.67 , P = 0.42 During the retention test, however, animals treated with "vehicle

There was no longer any statistically significant difference between the groups treated "young" and "weakened old -GPI-1046" during the retention phase, F, 69 = 3.09, P = 0.08. In summary, the systemic treatment with GPI-1046 significantly improved the spatial memory of mice with age-related spatial memory impairments. The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that it can be varied in many ways. Such variations will not be considered as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
