Adhikari A, Chauhan K, Adhikari M, Tiwari AK. Colony Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor: An emerging target for neuroinflammation PET imaging and AD therapy. Bioorg Med Chem 2024; 100:117628. [PMID: 38330850 DOI: 10.1016/j.bmc.2024.117628] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 01/29/2024] [Indexed: 02/10/2024]
Abstract
Although neuroinflammation is a significant pathogenic feature of many neurologic disorders, its precise function in-vivo is still not completely known. PET imaging enables the longitudinal examination, quantification, and tracking of different neuroinflammation biomarkers in living subjects. Particularly, PET imaging of Microglia, specialised dynamic immune cells crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis in central nervous system (CNS), is crucial for staging the neuroinflammation. Colony Stimulating Factor- 1 Receptor (CSF-1R) PET imaging is a novel method for the quantification of neuroinflammation. CSF-1R is mainly expressed on microglia, and neurodegenerative disorders greatly up-regulate its expression. The present review primarily focuses on the development, pros and cons of all the CSF-1R PET tracers reported for neuroinflammation imaging. Apart from neuroinflammation imaging, CSF-1R inhibitors are also reported for the therapy of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a prevalent, advancing, and fatal neurodegenerative condition that have the characteristic feature of persistent neuroinflammation and primarily affects the elderly. The aetiology of AD is profoundly influenced by amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, intracellular neurofibrillary tangles, and microglial dysfunction. Increasing evidence suggests that CSF-1R inhibitors (CSF-1Ri) can be helpful in preclinical models of neurodegenerative diseases. This review article also summarises the most recent developments of CSF-1Ri-based therapy for AD.

Abstract
FMS kinase is a type III tyrosine kinase receptor that plays a central role in the pathophysiology and management of several diseases, including a range of cancer types, inflammatory disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, and bone disorders among others. In this review, the pathophysiological pathways of FMS kinase in different diseases and the recent developments of its monoclonal antibodies and inhibitors during the last five years are discussed. The biological and biochemical features of these inhibitors, including binding interactions, structure-activity relationships (SAR), selectivity, and potencies are discussed. The focus of this article is on the compounds that are promising leads and undergoing advanced clinical investigations, as well as on those that received FDA approval. In this article, we attempt to classify the reviewed FMS inhibitors according to their core chemical structure including pyridine, pyrrolopyridine, pyrazolopyridine, quinoline, and pyrimidine derivatives.

Abstract
The tyrosine kinase, colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R), has attracted attention as a potential biomarker of neuroinflammation for imaging studies with positron emission tomography (PET), especially because of its location on microglia and its role in microglia proliferation. The development of an effective radiotracer for specifically imaging and quantifying brain CSF1R is highly challenging. Here we review the progress that has been made on PET tracer development and discuss issues that have arisen and which remain to be addressed and resolved.

Abstract
Recently, the major challenge in treating osteosarcoma patients is the metastatic disease, most commonly in the lungs. However, the underlying mechanism of recurrence and metastasis of osteosarcoma after surgical resection of primary tumor remains unclear. This study aims to investigate whether the pulmonary metastases characteristic of osteosarcoma is associated with surgical treatment and whether surgery contributes to the formation of pre-metastatic niche in the distant lung tissue. In the current study, the authors observe the presence of circulating tumor cells in patients undergoing surgical resection of osteosarcoma which is correlated to tumor recurrence. The pulmonary infiltrations of neutrophils and Gr-1+ myeloid cells are characterized to form a pre-metastatic niche upon the exposure of circulating tumor cells after surgical resection. It is found that mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns released from surgical resection contribute to the formation of pre-metastatic niche in lung through IL-1β secretion. This study reveals that surgical management for osteosarcoma, irrespective of the primary tumor, might promote the formation of postoperative pre-metastatic niche in lung which is with important implications for developing rational therapies during peri-operative period.

Abstract
We report the design, synthesis and evaluation of five o‑aminopyridyl alkynyl derivatives as colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF-1R) ligands. Compounds 4 and 5 with the fluoroethoxy group at the meta- or para-position of the phenyl ring possessed nanomolar inhibitory potency against CSF-1R with IC50 values of 7.6 nM and 2.3 nM, respectively. Radioligands [18F]4 and [18F]5 were obtained in radiochemical yields of 17.2 ± 5.3% (n = 5, decay-corrected) and 14.0 ± 4.3% (n = 4, decay-corrected), with radiochemical purity of > 99% and molar activity of 9-12 GBq/μmol (n = 5) and 6-8 GBq/μmol (n = 4), respectively. In biodistribution studies, radioligands [18F]4 and [18F]5 showed moderate brain uptake in male ICR mice with 1.52 ± 0.15 and 0.91 ± 0.07% ID/g, respectively, at 15 min. Metabolic stability studies in mouse brain revealed that [18F]4 exhibited high stability while [18F]5 suffered from low stability. Higher accumulation of [18F]4 in the brain of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated mice was observed, and further pretreatment of BLZ945 or CPPC led to remarkable reduction, indicating specific binding of [18F]4 to CSF-1R.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF-1R), also known as FMS kinase, is a type I single transmembrane protein mainly expressed in myeloid cells, such as monocytes, macrophages, glial cells, and osteoclasts. The endogenous ligands, colony-stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) and Interleukin-34 (IL-34), activate CSF-1R and downstream signaling pathways including PI3K-AKT, JAK-STATs, and MAPKs, and modulate the proliferation, differentiation, migration, and activation of target immune cells. Over the past decades, the promising therapeutic potential of CSF-1R signaling inhibition has been widely studied for decreasing immune suppression and escape in tumors, owing to depletion and reprogramming of tumor-associated macrophages. In addition, the excessive activation of CSF-1R in inflammatory diseases is consecutively uncovered in recent years, which may result in inflammation in bone, kidney, lung, liver and central nervous system. Agents against CSF-1R signaling have been increasingly investigated in preclinical or clinical studies for inflammatory diseases treatment. However, the pathological mechanism of CSF-1R in inflammation is indistinct and whether CSF-1R signaling can be identified as biomarkers remains controversial. With the background information aforementioned, this review focus on the dialectical roles of CSF-1R and its ligands in regulating innate immune cells and highlights various therapeutic implications of blocking CSF-1R signaling in inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Colony stimulating factor 1 receptor kinase (CSF1R) plays an integral role in tumor-associated macrophage repolarization and has emerged as a novel therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy. Most of the current CSF1R kinase inhibitors lack selectivity between CSF1R kinase and other type III growth factor receptor members. Herein, we report a potent and selective CSF1R inhibitor 18h, which displays an IC50 value of 5.14 nM against CSF1R and achieves selectivity over other type III receptor tyrosine kinases (>38-fold). 18h inhibits the phosphorylation of CSF1R and its downstream signaling pathway in RAW264.7, THP-1, and M-NFS-60 cells. Treatment with this compound leads to alteration of the macrophage polarization in RAW264.7 macrophages in a dose-dependent manner. In vivo, 18h demonstrates acceptable pharmacokinetic profiles and suppresses the tumor growth in a mouse xenograft model inoculated with M-NFS-60 cells.

However, three additional enantiomers of kusunokinin have yet to be investigated: trans-(+)-kusunokinin, cis-(−)-isomer and cis-(+)-isomer. According to the results of molecular docking studies of kusunokinin isomers on 60 breast cancer-related proteins, trans-(−)-kusunokinin was the most preferable and active component of the trans-racemic mixture. Trans-(−)-kusunokinin targeted proteins involved in cell growth and proliferation, whereas the cis-(+)-isomer targeted proteins involved in metastasis. Trans-(−)-kusunokinin targeted CSF1R specifically, whereas trans-(+)-kusunokinin and both cis-isomers may have bound AKR1B1. Interestingly, the compound’s stereoisomeric effect may influence protein selectivity. CSF1R preferred trans-(−)-kusunokinin over trans-(+)-kusunokinin because the binding pocket required a ligand planar arrangement to form a π-π interaction with a selective Trp550. Because of its large binding pocket, EGFR exhibited no stereoselectivity. MD simulation revealed that trans-(−)-kusunokinin, trans-(+)-kusunokinin and pexidartinib bound CSF1R differently. Pexidartinib had the highest binding affinity, followed by trans-(−)-kusunokinin and trans-(+)-kusunokinin, respectively. The trans-(−)-kusunokinin-CSF1R complex was found to be stable, whereas trans-(+)-kusunokinin was not. Trans-(±)-kusunokinin, a potential racemic compound, could be developed as a selective CSF1R inhibitor when combined.

Abstract
An active flavonoid compound rutin was incorporated into a guanosine phenylborate hydrogel (GBR) by a stimuli-responsive borate ester linkage for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The components and morphology of the drug delivery system were characterized by NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy, and AFM. Rheological measurements revealed the required injectability and self-healing ability, which contributed to its application in rectal administration. The cell assays proved the excellent compatibility and safety of the system, and a possible pathway to form multicellular aggregates. In vitro drug-release studies showed that the hydrogel exhibited good stability in physiological medium, and the drug was almost completely released (more than 90 wt % after 24 h of incubation) in acidic pH and excessive ROS-containing medium, realizing the dual-responsive release of pH/ROS. In vivo activities of the GBR hydrogel showed higher therapeutic efficacy than free rutin in a colitis mice model, and it could significantly inhibit overexpressed inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6. Degradation studies of the hydrogel provided further evidence for the safety of its in vivo application. The work provided a simple strategy to prepare a G-quadruplex drug carrier, which was expected to achieve multi-drug delivery.

Colony-stimulating factor 1 receptor signaling in the central nervous system and the potential of its pharmacological inhibitors to halt the progression of neurological disorders. Inflammopharmacology 2022; 30:821-842. [PMID: 35290551 DOI: 10.1007/s10787-022-00958-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Colony Stimulating Factor-1 (CSF-1)/Colony Stimulating Factor-1 Receptor (CSF-1R) signaling axis plays an essential role in the development, maintenance, and proliferation of macrophage lineage cells. Within the central nervous system, CSF-1R signaling primarily maintains microglial homeostasis. Microglia, being the resident macrophage and first responder to any neurological insults, plays critical importance in overall health of the human brain. Aberrant and sustained activation of microglia along with continued proliferation and release of neurotoxic proinflammatory cytokines have been reported in various neurological and neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, halting the neuroinflammatory pathway via targeting microglial proliferation, which depends on CSF-1R signaling, has emerged as a potential therapeutic target for neurological disorders. However, apart from regulating the microglial function, recently it has been discovered that CSF-1R has much broader role in central nervous system. These findings limit the therapeutic utility of CSF-1R inhibitors but also highlight the need for a complete understanding of CSF-1R function within the central nervous system. Moreover, it has been found that selective inhibitors of CSF-1R may be more efficient in avoiding non-specific targeting and associated side effects. Short-term depletion of microglial population in diseased conditions have also been found to be beneficial; however, the dose and therapeutic window for optimum effects may need to be standardized further.This review summarizes the present understanding of CSF-1R function within the central nervous system. We discuss the CSF-1R signaling in the context of microglia function, crosstalk between microglia and astroglia, and regulation of neuronal cell function. We also discuss a few of the neurological disorders with a focus on the utility of CSF-1R inhibitors as potential therapeutic strategy for halting the progression of neurological diseases.

Abstract
Colony-stimulating factor-1 receptor (CSF1R) is implicated in tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) repolarization and has emerged as a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Herein, we describe the discovery of orally active and selective CSF1R inhibitors by property-driven optimization of BPR1K871 (9), our clinical multitargeting kinase inhibitor. Molecular docking revealed an additional nonclassical hydrogen-bonding (NCHB) interaction between the unique 7-aminoquinazoline scaffold and the CSF1R hinge region, contributing to CSF1R potency enhancement. Structural studies of CSF1R and Aurora kinase B (AURB) demonstrated the differences in their back pockets, which inspired the use of a chain extension strategy to diminish the AURA/B activities. A lead compound BPR1R024 (12) exhibited potent CSF1R activity (IC50 = 0.53 nM) and specifically inhibited protumor M2-like macrophage survival with a minimal effect on antitumor M1-like macrophage growth. In vivo, oral administration of 12 mesylate delayed the MC38 murine colon tumor growth and reversed the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment with the increased M1/M2 ratio.

Abstract
Effective therapeutic agents are highly desired for immune-mediated allergic diseases. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship of an o-aminopyridinyl alkyne series as novel orally bioavailable antiallergic agents, which was identified through phenotypic screening. Compound optimization yielded a highly potent compound 36, which effectively suppressed mast cell degranulation in a dose-dependent manner (IC50, 2.54 nM for RBL-2H3 cells; 48.28 nM for peritoneal mast cells (PMCs)) with a good therapeutic index. It also regulated the activation of FcεRI-mediated downstream signaling proteins in IgE/Ag-stimulated RBL-2H3 cells. In addition, 36 exhibited excellent in vivo pharmacokinetic properties and antiallergic efficacy in both passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA) and house dust mite (HDM)-induced murine models of pulmonary allergic inflammation. Furthermore, preliminary analysis of the kinases profile identified Src-family kinases as potential targets for 36. Compound 36 may serve as a new valuable lead compound for future antiallergic drug discovery.

Abstract
Great successes have been achieved in developing small-molecule kinase inhibitors as anticancer therapeutic agents. However, kinase deregulation plays essential roles not only in cancer but also in almost all major disease areas. Accumulating evidence has revealed that kinases are promising drug targets for different diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, central nervous system disorders, viral infections, and malaria. Indeed, the first small-molecule kinase inhibitor for treatment of a nononcologic disease was approved in 2011 by the U.S. FDA. To date, 10 such inhibitors have been approved, and more are in clinical trials for applications other than cancer. This Perspective discusses a number of kinases and their small-molecule inhibitors for the treatment of diseases in nononcologic therapeutic fields. The opportunities and challenges in developing such inhibitors are also highlighted.

Abstract
Low concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) were reported to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects when administered in cells by suitable chemotypes such as CO releasing molecules (CO-RMs). In addition, the pH-modulating abilities of specific carbonic anhydrase isoforms played a crucial role in different models of inflammation and neuropathic pain. Herein, we report a series of chemical hybrids consisting of a Carbonic Anhydrase (CA) inhibitor linked to a CO-RM tail (CAI/CO-RMs). All compounds and their precursors were first tested in vitro for their inhibition activity against the human CA I, II, IX, and XII isoforms as well their CO releasing properties, aiming at corroborating the data by means of molecular modelling techniques. Then, their impact on metabolic activity modulation of RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages for 24 and 48 h was assessed with or without lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. The compounds were shown to counteract the inflammatory stimulus as also indicated by the reduced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) release after treatment. All the biological results were compared to those of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a reference antioxidant compound. Within the series, two CAI/CO-RM hybrids (1 and 2), bearing both the well-known scaffold able to inhibit CAs (acesulfame) and the cobalt-based CO releasing portion, induced a higher anti-inflammatory effect up to 48 h at concentrations lower than NAC.
