DET AILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] Compounds disclosed herein can protect vascular endothelium, including the blood brain barrier, from various insults and can reduce hemorrhage. Presented herein, in some embodiments, are compounds for treating and/or preventing hemorrhage or vascular instability. In certain embodiments, a method herein comprises preventing, reducing a risk of, inhibiting, reducing, mitigating or treating hemorrhage or vascular instability in a subject, wherein the hemorrhage or vascular instability is induced by a thrombolytic therapy or an anticoagulant therapy.

[0022] Also presented herein are methods of preventing, reducing a risk of, inhibiting, reducing, mitigating or treating tissue damage due to reperfusion (e.g., reperfusion injury). The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP) is directly involved in a variety of human diseases. Among them and of particular significance are those caused by the reperfusion injury component of acute ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). IRI often causes organ damage, tissue damage and organ or tissue dysfunction and is the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. IRI is often caused by inadequate blood supply to tissue (ischemia) followed by its medically mediated or natural restoration (reperfusion). The reperfusion component of IRI (i.e., reperfusion injury) is estimated to be responsible for up to 50% of the damage to tissues and organs affected by ischemia. Reperfusion of an ischemic tissue often causes damage due to the consequences of re- oxygenation of the cells of such tissues and the mitochondria in such cells. More specifically, in the mitochondria, calcium overload, excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and changes in the pH in the first few minutes after reperfusion set off a cascade of biochemical changes that result in a protracted opening of the mPTP in the mitochondrial membrane. This can cause a catastrophic collapse of mitochondrial function and cellular death or apoptosis. Reperfusion injury can affect many organs and tissues including the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, skin flaps, ovaries, intestine, stomach and pancreas. Applicant have determined that the compounds disclosed herein can prevent, mitigate, inhibit and/or treat reperfusion injury.

EXAMPLES

Example 1 -Suture Transient MCAO model

[0111] A suture-type transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model was used to determine the efficacy and dose response of J147 (Compound IV) on reperfusion using male Sprague Dawley rats having a body weight in a range of 280-320g. In this model, J147 was administered i.v. at doses of 1 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg of total body weight immediately after reperfusion (i.e., about 2 hours after ischemia onset). A dose of 10 mg/kg (iv) was considered as an optimal effective dose in this study.

• Suture transient MCAO model

• SD rat: 280 to 320 g

• Stroke mode: suture, Ischemia for 2 hours followed by Reperfusion for 24 hours

• Bederson scale* (tested at 24 hours after reperfusion): 0 to 5, less to more behavioral neurological deficits

• J147: administered immediately after reperfusion

• J147 stocking solution: 6 mg/ml, 30% HS15/ 70% saline

• J147 working solution: stock solution/saline 1:1 (3 mg/ml, 15% HS 15/85% saline)

• Vehicle: 15% HS 15/85% saline o iv injection (bolus): 3.3 ml/kg body weight, o ip injection (bolus): 10 ml/kg body weight

• Rat: Maximum volume (iv., bolus) = 5 ml/kg. (ip., bolus) = 10 ml/kg.

[00112] Following stroke, animals exhibit a variety of neurological deficits. The Bederson scale is a global neurological assessment that was developed to measure neurological impairments following stroke. Tests include forelimb flexion, resistance to lateral push and circling behavior. In this case, a Bederson grading scale of 0-5 was used to assess behavioral deficits after reperfusion. This scoring scale is a simple way to reveal basic neurological deficits. Ischemic animals will have significantly more neurological deficits than non-ischemic animals, resulting in a higher score. [0113] Results are shown in Fig. 1. Representative images (chosen from the median animals of each group) of triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC)-stained brain coronal sections A-H showing tissue infarction (white color) in the indicated groups 24 hours after reperfusion. Panels A&B are control animals treated with placebo and showing Bederson Scores 3 and 5, and significant infarct volume (white) after reperfusion. Panels C&D are animals treated with 1 mg/kg J147 administered intravascularly (iv), showing better Bederson Scores of 3 and 3, and insignificant reduction in infarct volume relative to placebo. Panels E&F are animals treated with 10 mg/kg J 147 administered iv, showing much improved Bederson scores of 1 and 2, and a large reduction of infarct volume after reperfusion. Panels G&H are animals treated with J147 administered intraperitoneally, showing Bederson scores of 2 and 3, and modest reduction of infarct volume after reperfusion.

[0114] Example 2 -Embolic MCAO model

[0115] For embolic MCAO model (eMCAO), a single 4 pm fibrin rich clot was placed in the origin of the right MCA via a modified PE-50 tube (0.3-mm outer diameter). Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in the MCA territory (2 mm posterior and 5 mm lateral to the bragma on the right parietal skull) was monitored with Laser doppler flowmetry (MSP300XP; ADInstruments Inc). The animals’ rCBF reduction to 25% or less of baseline level was included in the study.

• Combined treatment: J147 + tPA, tissue plasminogen activator, the only drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of stroke.

• SD rat: 280 to 320 g

• Stroke mode: eMCAO, 4 pm blood clot

• Bederson scale (tested at 24 hour after ischemia): 0 to 5

• J147 (10 mg/kg: 5% DMSO, 70% PEG200 and 25% Saline): at 4h after ischemia onset (iv infusion for 1 min)

• tPA (10 mg/kg (2 mg/ml)): at 4 hour after ischemia onset 10% bolus for 1 min., 90% infused for 30 min.

• Two groups: tPA-only treated and tPA + J147 -treated

[0116] Results are shown in Figure 2 (animals treated with tPA only) and Figure 3 (Animals treated with tPA + J147). Representative images are shown (chosen from the median animals of each group) of unstained coronal sections (A, C, E, G) showing intracerebral hemorrhage (red color) and TTC-stained coronal sections (B, D, F, H) showing tissue infarction (white color) in the indicated groups 24 hours after stroke. Figure 4A shows a graphical plot of Bederson scores showing positive trend in tPA+J 147 -treated vs tPA-only treated animals (p=0.6254). Figure 4B shows a graphical plot of scan-quantified infarct volume showing positive trend in tPA+J147- treated animals (p=0.061). Figure 4C shows a graphical plot of quantified hemorrhage volume showing a significant improvement in tPA+J 147 -treated animals (p=0.048).

Example 3 - J147 Dose-Response (Expanded Study)

[0117] Objective: This experiment was performed to determine dose-dependent therapeutic effects of J147, and to identify an optimal dose.

• J147 stock solution: 6 mg/ml in 30% HS15/ 70% saline

• J147 working solution: 3 mg/ml in 15% HS 15/85% saline (stock solution/s aline 1:1)

• Vehicle: 15% HS 15/85% saline

• Male SD rats; n=7-8 per group

[0118] Methods: Male SD rats (280-300 g) were subjected to a 2-hour suture MCAO-induced ischemia followed by reperfusion. J147 compound (1.0, 10, 30 mg/kg) and vehicle were administered at 2 hours after onset of ischemia (Fig. 5). Bederson score was examined prior to the sacrifice at 72 h after stroke. Infarct volumes in TTC-stained brain coronal sections were measured. Results: J147 treatment significantly reduced infarct volumes and neurological deficit after reperfusion in a dose-dependent manner. A dose of 10 mg/kg J147 is selected as an “effective optimal dose” for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke in rats.

Example 4 - J147 + tPA Expanded Study (-80 animals)

[0119] Objective: To determine whether J147 can prevent tPA-associated brain hemorrhage and extend the treatment time window of tPA in a clinically relevant thromboembolic stroke model in rats.

• J147 compound: Stock solution: 60 mg/ml DMSO, in 60 ul/vial, stored at -20 °C.

• Working solution: 3 mg/ml in 5 % DMSO, 70 % PEG200 and 25 % normal saline, prepared prior to injection.

• One vial stock solution was warmed at 37 °C and mixed with 1140 ul sterilized solution (PEG200 : saline, 2.8:1). Recombinant human tPA (Alteplase, 2.2 mg/vial): Reconstituted with 1.1 ml water (2 mg/ml). 10 mg/kg, 10% bonus injection, 90% 30 min. via mini pump.

[0120] A. Infarct Volume and Intracerebral Hemorrhage

[0121] Methods: Male SD rats (280-300g) were subjected to thromboembolic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and treated with saline at 4 hours, tPA(tissue-type plasminogen activator; 10 mg/kg, IV) at 4 hours, and combined J147 (10 mg/kg, IV) plus tPA at 4 hours after onset of ischemia. Bederson score was examined prior to the sacrifice at 72 h after stroke. Infarct volumes, brain hemorrhage, and animal mortality were measured.

[0122] Results: tPA treatment at 4 hours alone did not decrease brain infarction but instead worsened hemorrhagic transformation. Combining J147 with tPA reduced infarct volume and ameliorated brain hemorrhage (Fig. 6A-6D). The mortality rate in saline and tPA alone treatment groups were 25% (3 of 12 rats) and 32% (7 of 22 rats), respectively. The mortality rate was reduced to 12% in combination treatment group (TABLE 1).

[0123] Conclusion: J147 plus tPA combination treatment attenuates tPA-associated hemorrhage and alleviates brain damage after eMCAO. Consequently, the use ofJ147 in combination with tPA may extend the length of the therapeutic window for administration oftPA following an ischemic event and thereby increase the number of stroke patients that could benefit from use oftPA.

[0124] B. Immunohistochemistry

[0125] MMPs, in particular MMP-9, play a critical role in the stroke-associated blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, hemorrhagic transformation and neuroinflammation after stroke.

Double immunohistochemistry was performed to determine MMP-9 expression in the brain at 24 hours after stroke (Fig. 7 A). [0126] Methods: At the indicated time point, animals were euthanized with CO2 and transcardially perfused with 200 mL ice-cold PBS (0.01 M, pH 7.4) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). The brains were removed and post- fixed in 4% PFA solution for overnight at 4°C. Brain samples were then cryoprotected by immersion in 10%, 20%, and 30% gradient sucrose solutions for 48 h at 4°C respectively. After that, the brains were embedded in optimal cutting temperature (OCT) compound. Coronal sections (15um) were cut at 0.4 to 1.4 mm posterior to bragma using a cryostat and mounted on positively charged slides. Every twentieth coronal section for a total five sections was used for immunohistochemistry. The primary antibodies: IBa-1 (1:200, Wako), MPO (1:200, Abeam), MMP9 (1:100, R&D), EBA (endothelial barrier antigen, a marker for endothelium in the vessels, 1:500, Covance), fibrinogen (1:200, Dako), thrombocyte (1:200, lifespan) and PAI-1 (1:200, Novus Biologicals) were used. Isotype matched antibodies were used as negative controls. Immuno staining was performed by conventional methods.

[0127] For quantification, the number of immunoreactive vessels were counted in the ischemic boundary zone. All immuno staining data was analyzed by an investigator blinded to experimental groups using Image Pro plus software (version 5.1, Media Cybernetics, Inc.) and data are presented as the density of immunoreactive vessels relative to the imaged area (mm2) as described. Data were expressed as mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM). GraphPad Prism 8 software package was used for statistical analysis. Unless otherwise indicated, multiple comparisons were made using a 1-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by the Bonferroni post hoc test. If only two groups were compared, unpaired, 2-tailed Student t test was applied. p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

[0128] Results: MMP-9 immunoreactivity was absent in the sham-operated rats and markedly increased in stroke animals. In delayed tPA treatment group, it was further increased, which was present on both the individual cells and brain microvessels (marked by endothelial barrier antigen staining). However, combination treatment with J 147 markedly decreased the MMP9 expression on both individual cells and microvessels. We also evaluated the neutrophil (MPO) infiltration and microglia (Iba-1) expansion in the brain, both of which are involved in the postischemic neuroinflammation. Immuno staining showed that MPO positive cells were not detected in the sham-operated rats, but significantly induced by stroke and further augmented by delayed tPA treatment (Fig. 7B). The combination treatment with J 147 markedly reduced neutrophil infiltration into the brain parenchyma poststroke. Furthermore, the number of the Iba- 1-positive cells was significantly increased after stroke (Fig. 7C). However, the combination treatment with J147 significantly blocked the microglia expansion; in contrast, delayed tPA alone showed no significant effect on the expansion of microglia with saline alone group. The shape of most Iba-1 positive cells was transformed from a highly ramified into a less ramified or amoeboid cell shape in saline and tPA alone group, indicating that microglia has been activated. Importantly, it was significantly inhibited by combination treatment with J147.

[0129] Conclusion: J147 treatment alleviates ischemia-induced and delayed tPA-enhanced neuroinflammation.

[0130] Intravascular fibrin/fibrinogen deposition and platelet accumulation substantially contribute to secondary microvascular thrombosis after ischemic stroke. Double immunofluorescence staining showed that intravascular fibrin/fibrinogen deposition (Fig. 8A) and platelet accumulation (Fig. 8B) were rarely detected in sham-operated rats and at a relatively low level detected in the saline-treated stroke animals, possibly because of low cerebral perfusion in downstream microvessels without tPA thrombolysis in this embolic stroke mode. However, both the fibrin/fibrinogen and platelets deposited in downstream microvessels were markedly increased in stroke rats with delayed tPA, and these increases were significantly attenuated by combination treatment with J 147 (Fig. 8 A and 8B).

[0131] Results: Evidence shows that local upregulation of PAI- 1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor- 1), a downstream mediator in the NF-KB cascade, in ischemic brain endothelium contributes to intravascular fibrin/fibrinogen deposition during ischemia/reperfusion-induced acute brain ischemic injury. Double immunohistochemistry showed that combination treatment with J 147 significantly reduced ischemia-induced and delayed tPA-enhanced PAI-1 expression in brain endothelial cells observed in the peri-ischemic area of the cerebral cortex (Fig. 8C).

[0132] Conclusion: J147 treatment alleviates delayed tPA-enhanced microvascular thrombosis and thereby extends the duration of the therapeutic window when tPA may be administered after an ischemic event. [0133] C. Platelet Activation and Platelet-Leukocyte Interactions

Elevated platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte interaction contribute importantly to pro- inflammatory and thrombotic events during ischemia-reperfusion injury after stroke. We used flow cytometry to analyze platelet activation and platelet-leukocyte aggregates in whole blood at 24 hours after ischemia onset (Fig. 9A).

[0134] Methods: Blood was drawn into a heparinized capillary tube via the retro-orbital plexus at 24 h after stroke. Whole blood was diluted 1:10 with Flow Cytometry Staining Buffer (eBioscience) containing rat Fc block anti-rat CD32. For evaluation of platelet activation, sample was co-stained with the FITC mouse anti-rat CD42d (1:200, RPM.4) for platelets and PE/Cy7 mouse anti-rat CD62P (1:100, RMP-1) for P-selectin expression. For detection of plateletleukocyte aggregates (PLA) formation, samples were co-stained with FITC mouse anti-rat CD42d (1:200, RPM.4), PE mouse anti-rat granulocytes (1:100, RP-1), APC mouse anti-rat CDl lb (1:50, WT.5) and PE/Cy7 mouse anti-rat CD45 (1:100, OX-1). Isotype-matched control antibodies were used to differentiate non-specific background signal from specific antibody signals. The samples were analyzed on the BD Accuri™ C6 flow cytometer.

[0135] Results: The increased platelet activation (determined by P-selectin expression) and platelet-granulocyte aggregates were found in the saline-treated stroke rats, but IV tPA had no additional effect. However, combination treatment significantly reduced the ischemia-induced platelet P-selectin expression and platelet- granulocyte aggregates. There were no significant changes in the platelet- monocyte aggregates between groups.

[0136] Conclusion: J147 treatment attenuates circulating platelet activation and plateletneutrophil aggregates in vivo.

[0137] Example 5 - J147 alone with embolic MCAO (eMCAO) model

[0138] In this example, an eMCAO experiment was performed to determine if J147 alone (i.e., without administration of TPA or other thrombolytic intervention) provided any therapeutic benefit for stroke in the absence of reperfusion caused by TPA. SD rats: 280 to 320 g

• Stroke mode: eMCAO, 4 pm blood clot

• Bederson scale (tested at 24 hour after ischemia): 0 to 5

• No tPA treatment.

• J147 administered a 0 mg/ml (Vehicle), 1 mg/ml or 10 mg/ml i.v., or 30 mg/ml i.p. two hours after stroke onset, (n-5/group)

• J147 stocking solution: 6 mg/ml (30% HS15/ 70% saline)

• J147 working solution: stock solution/saline 1:1 (3 mg/ml, 15% HS 15/85% saline)

• Vehicle: 15% HS 15/85% saline

[0139] In this example the animals were treated with vehicle or J147 in the absence of reperfusion or TPA treatment. Results are shown in Figures 10A and 10B. Representative images are shown (chosen from the median animals of each group) of TTC-stained coronal sections showing tissue infarction (white color) in the indicated groups 24 hours after stroke. These experiments suggest that J147 alone fails to provide any significant protection from stroke in the absence of reperfusion (e.g., reperfusion induced by TPA). By contrast, the prior examples demonstrate a therapeutic effect of the administration of J147 in conjunction with TPA.
