Abstract

Genetically defined amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD), collectively named c9ALS/FTD, are triggered by hexanucleotide GGGGCC repeat expansions [r(GC)] within the gene. In these diseases, neuronal loss occurs through an interplay of deleterious phenotypes, including r(GC) RNA gain-of-function mechanisms. Herein, we identified a benzimidazole derivative, CB096, that specifically binds to a repeating 1 × 1 GG internal loop structure, 5'CG/3'GC, that is formed when r(GC) folds. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to define the molecular interactions formed between CB096 and r(GC) that results in the rescue of disease-associated pathways. Overall, this study reveals a unique structural feature within r(GC) that can be exploited for the development of lead medicines and chemical probes.

摘要

基因定义的肌萎缩侧索硬化症(ALS)和额颞叶痴呆(FTD),统称为 c9ALS/FTD,是由 基因内六核苷酸 GGGGCC 重复扩展 [r(GC)]触发的。在这些疾病中,神经元的丧失是通过有害表型的相互作用发生的,包括 r(GC) RNA 获得功能机制。在此,我们鉴定了一种苯并咪唑衍生物 CB096,它特异性地结合到 r(GC) 折叠时形成的重复 1×1 GG 内部环结构 5'CG/3'GC。通过构效关系(SAR)研究和分子动力学(MD)模拟来定义 CB096 和 r(GC) 之间形成的分子相互作用,这些相互作用导致与疾病相关的途径得到挽救。总的来说,这项研究揭示了 r(GC) 内的一个独特结构特征,可用于开发先导药物和化学探针。
