A Phase I Study of Repeated Neural Stem Cell Based Virotherapy in Combination With N-Acetylcysteine Amid (NACA) and Standard Radiation and Chemotherapy for Newly Diagnosed High Grade Glioma

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and feasibility of administering repeated doses of neural stem cell (NSC)-conditionally replicative adenovirus (CRAd)-survivin (S)-protomer (p)k7, in persons with newly diagnosed high grade glioma.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* whether multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 are safe and feasible
* how multiple doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 influence tumor response, overall survival, time to tumor progression, and quality of life.
Participants will:
* undergo a biopsy to confirm high grade glioma, then receive the first dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 into the brain
* about 2 weeks later, undergo surgery to remove the tumor and receive the second dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 into the brain
* start chemoradiation about 2 weeks after surgery, then about 2 weeks later, receive the 3rd dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 into the brain
* four weeks later, at the end of chemoradiation, receive a fourth dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 into the brain.
* after radiation is finished, receive standard of care chemotherapy and tumor-treating fields. Two additional doses of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7 will be given every 4 weeks.
Every other patient enrolled will receive N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA), from registration until the day prior to surgery and the second dose of NSC-CRAd-S-pk7.

Rational engineering of ligands & metal nodes: MOF-on-MOF based probe for efficient integration of anti-interference and triple signal amplification

Article

作者: Wang, Jiaqing ; Ma, Zhanfang ; Han, Hongliang

Accurate and sensitive detection of slight fluctuations in insulin concentration is essential for the assessment and treatment of early diabetes. The requirement posed a serious challenge to the responsiveness of electrochemical sensors in analyzing slight fluctuation in concentration and their ability to accurately identify the target analyte. Therefore, a MOF-on-MOF (NH₂-MIL-88B-on-NH₂-UiO-66) probe with integrated anti-interference and signal-amplification capabilities was designed by engineering functionalized ligands and metal nodes, which ensures the sensitivity of sensors while improving the detection accuracy. Signal-amplification: the bimetallic ion nodes of MOF-on-MOF act synergistically at the sensing interface (sodium citrate doped poly-thionine/poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) film) to impede the electron transfer, leading to a decrease in the poly-thionine (PThi) oxidation current signal. The complexed Fe³⁺ triggers a Fenton reaction, further leading to a decrease in the PThi oxidation current signal. A triple amplification of the PThi oxidation current signal response induced by changes in concentration per unit of analyte was achieved. Anti-interference: The growth of a more hydrophilic MOF on the surface of another less hydrophilic MOF and the introduction of a large number of amino groups resulted in a significant anti-interference property of the MOF-on-MOF based immunoprobes. The proposed sensor not only achieves detection limits of insulin at the fg level, but also has a signal response per unit change in insulin concentration being 5-50 times higher than existing electrochemical sensors. The integration of the hydrophilic and triple signal amplification strategy is significant in the monitoring of slight fluctuations of analyte concentrations.

Strategy for cysteine-targeting covalent inhibitors screening using in-house database based LC-MS/MS and drug repurposing

Article

作者: Li, Na ; Wu, Jian-Lin ; Hu, Xiaolan ; He, Quan ; Xiong, Zhi-Qi

Targeted covalent inhibitors, primarily targeting cysteine residues, have attracted great attention as potential drug candidates due to good potency and prolonged duration of action. However, their discovery is challenging. In this research, a database-assisted liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) strategy was developed to quickly discover potential cysteine-targeting compounds. First, compounds with potential reactive groups were selected and incubated with N-acetyl-cysteine in microsomes. And the precursor ions of possible cysteine-adducts were predicted based on covalent binding mechanisms to establish in-house database. Second, substrate-independent product ions produced from N-acetyl-cysteine moiety were selected. Third, multiple reaction monitoring scan was conducted to achieve sensitive screening for cysteine-targeting compounds. This strategy showed broad applicability, and covalent compounds with diverse structures were screened out, offering structural resources for covalent inhibitors development. Moreover, the screened compounds, norketamine and hydroxynorketamine, could modify synaptic transmission-related proteins in vivo, indicating their potential as covalent inhibitors. This experimental-based screening strategy provides a quick and reliable guidance for the design and discovery of covalent inhibitors.

Oxidative stress induces plasma membrane phosphatidylserine externalization in canine erythrocytes in vitro, mitigated by thiol antioxidants

Article

作者: Santos, Andrea Pires dos ; Woolcock, Andrew D. ; Moore, George E. ; Kao, Yun-Fan ; Serpa, Priscila B. S.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:

To determine if oxidative stress induces phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization in canine erythrocytes and if exposure to antioxidants prevents such changes.

METHODS:

This was an in vitro, experimental study using 5 healthy, adult, purpose-bred research Beagles. Fresh EDTA-anticoagulated blood samples were collected from each dog, and erythrocytes were harvested. For objective 1, erythrocytes were exposed to the pro-oxidant agents tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) at 2, 3, or 4 mM or 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride at 30, 40, or 50 mM. For objective 2, erythrocytes were exposed to 3 mM TBHP and the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine-amide (NACA) at various concentrations (0, 1, or 3 mM). Erythrocytes incubated with benzoylbenzoyl-ATP were used as positive control, whereas erythrocytes incubated with sodium chloride medium with 0.1% bovine serum albumin, DMSO, and NACA were used as negative controls. Erythrocytes were stained with allophycocyanin-conjugated Annexin V, and PS externalization was assessed by flow cytometry. The degree of PS externalization of each sample was recorded as median fluorescence intensity and percentage of PS positivity.

RESULTS:

TBHP at 3 and 4 mM caused increased PS externalization in canine erythrocytes. 2,2′-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride at all concentrations caused increased PS externalization. N-acetylcysteine-amide at all concentrations prevented significant PS externalization measured by median fluorescence intensity and percentage of PS positivity from erythrocytes exposed to TBHP.

CONCLUSIONS:

Oxidative stress causes PS externalization in canine erythrocytes, and NACA ameliorates this effect.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE:

Future studies are needed to determine if increased PS externalization in erythrocytes occurs in dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia and its role in promoting thromboembolism.

Arctic Therapeutics research suggests preventative strategy against HCCAA

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) shows promise to treat hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA) HCCAA – a subtype of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) – is an ultra-rare Icelandic amyloid disease due to a mutation in the CST3 gene encoding for the protease inhibitor, cystatin C. HCCAA causes cerebral hemorrhages in asymptomatic carriers of the L68Q variant due to amyloid aggregation with precipitation in brain vessels and tissue. Findings could guide the development of preventative therapies for related CAAs. REYKJAVIK, Iceland, April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Icelandic drug discovery and development company Arctic Therapeutics (ATx) today announced the publication of research in JAMA Neurology, which informs a possible therapeutic strategy to treat a rare form of familial dementia. The publication, titled N-Acetylcysteine for hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy (HCCAA), a nonrandomised clinical trial, details a new treatment approach for HCCAA, a rare and fatal genetic brain disorder that primarily affects young Icelandic adults, with the disease process beginning in childhood. The research provides insights into the potential of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) as a treatment for HCCAA, a disease with no currently approved therapeutic options. The study highlights how NAC may reduce disease-associated biomarkers and slow disease progression. The study is the first phase 2a clinical trial to assess the safety and therapeutic potential of high-dose NAC in patients carrying the L68Q-CST3 sequence variation of HCCAA. Results indicate that NAC is well tolerated, reduces disease specific biomarkers and stabilises disease progression, suggesting NAC may offer a preventative strategy against HCCAA. These findings could accelerate the development of preventative therapies for individuals at risk of HCCAA and other forms of CAAs. "These promising results provide hope to HCCAA patients and their families," Dr Ásbjörg Ósk Snorradóttir, lead author of the study explained. Senior author, Dr. Hákon Hákonarson, director of the Center for Applied Genomics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and founder of Arctic Therapeutics added: "This study provides the first clinical evidence that NAC, by breaking disulfide bonds and other aberrant molecular interactions, can disrupt cystatin C oligomers and prevent amyloid aggregation that ultimately accumulates in brain vessels. By targeting the root biochemical process behind HCCAA pathology, NAC may ultimately offer a novel disease-modifying approach, not only for this devastating condition, but potentially for other forms of CAAs and protein aggregation disorders where toxic oligomers are central to disease progression." The open-label phase 2a clinical trial was conducted at Iceland's Landspitali University Hospital from March 2019 to December 2021. A total of 17 participants were enrolled, all confirmed carriers of the L68Q-CST3 mutation. The study assessed: Safety & tolerability: NAC was well tolerated, with no drug-related severe adverse events. Five participants experienced cerebral hemorrhages, but none resulted in permanent neurological damage. Biomarker reduction: Significant reductions were observed in collagen IV, fibronectin, vimentin, and SMAD levels—key indicators of disease progression. Plasma & skin biomarker changes: NAC was shown to increase reduced glutathione levels, a protective antioxidant, and reduce high-molecular-weight cystatin C aggregates, which are linked to amyloid buildup in the brain. Cognitive stability: No measurable decline in cognitive function was observed during the study period. Building on these findings, as well as internal in-vitro data that demonstrates that NAC-amide (NACA) has more than 10-fold higher potency in preventing or dispersing amyloid complex aggregates than NAC and increased ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier and get into cells involved in the disease pathogenesis, ATx has launched a European Medicines Agency-approved registration study to monitor safety, tolerability, and efficacy using NACA in patients with HCCAA.

Arctic Therapeutics Announces €26.5M Oversubscribed Series A Financing

Funding will accelerate the company's anti-amyloid treatment for rare and common forms of dementia. As well as bringing forward a new class of treatment for inflammatory skin diseases. Sanos Group CEO Jeppe Ragnar Andersen joins the board. REYKJAVIK, Iceland and PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Icelandic drug discovery and development company Arctic Therapeutics (ATx) today announced the successful closing of a €26.5 million oversubscribed Series A financing from a broad syndicate of international investors. The syndicate includes the EIC Fund, Iceland's largest privately-held investment firm Kaldbakur, Investcorp-backed Sanos Group, Swiss-based Cerebrum DAO, The Lurie Family Foundation – established by US billionaire Jeffery Lurie – as well as a consortium led by early investors and co-founders of Icelandic unicorn, Kerecis, and Copenhagen-listed Chemometec. Icelandic institutional investors and family offices also participated in the round. "This funding represents a critical milestone in our journey to address significant unmet medical needs, from familial forms of dementia and Alzheimer's to novel treatments for inflammatory skin diseases. The new investors bring expertise and strategic value to the table, enabling us to accelerate the development of groundbreaking treatments," said Ivar Hakonarson, ATx co-founder and CEO. The proceeds from the Series A financing will be used to advance ATx's two frontrunners, AT-001 and AT-004, further into the clinic. Last year, the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved a pivotal phase IIb/III clinical trial evaluating AT-001 for the treatment of Hereditary Cystatin C Amyloid Angiopathy (HCCAA), a rare form of familial dementia. The new funding will allow ATx to explore the potential of AT-001, an oral treatment designed to prevent the aggregation of harmful amyloid proteins in the brain, in other forms of familial dementia, and eventually Alzheimer's disease. "Recent advances in understanding the role of amyloid proteins and the critical importance of preventing and dissolving plaque formation in the brain underscore the transformative potential of our approach to significantly slow or even prevent these devastating diseases," Hakonarson added. In addition to the AT-001 clinical trial, ATx is also planning to launch a phase IIa clinical trial for AT-004 in Europe post-financing. The therapeutic goal of this approach is to demonstrate safety and efficacy in acne vulgaris before expanding into other inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis, rosacea and psoriasis. Additionally, ATx announced the appointment of Jeppe Ragnar Andersen, CEO of Sanos Group, to its board of directors. "Sanos Group's proven expertise in dermatology and recent acquisition of NeuroScios, a CRO specialized in clinical studies in Alzheimer's, strengthens our alignment with ATx's therapeutic focus even further," Andersen said. "We look forward to supporting the ATx team on achieving its goal of bringing forward innovative treatments for dementia and skin diseases to millions of patients," he added. Last year, ATx was selected to join the prestigious EIC Scaling Club, an exclusive community of Europe's most promising scaleups. The Club aims to accelerate the growth of its members, with a goal of scaling 20% of them into unicorns. This aligns with the EIC Fund's investment mandate to provide funding to European companies, which have the potential to meet the world's most pressing challenges. "Investing in innovative solutions to address the global healthcare challenge of dementia is both a responsibility and an opportunity," said Svetoslava Georgieva, Chair of the EIC Fund Board. "In Europe alone, dementia affects over ten million people – placing immense strain on families, healthcare systems, and economies. By providing an equity investment in Arctic Therapeutics, the EIC Fund is supporting groundbreaking preventive treatments that have the potential to change the trajectory of this crisis, improve quality of life, and alleviate the burden on healthcare infrastructure worldwide," Georgieva added.
