RESUMEN

The allosteric inhibitor of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) everolimus reduces seizures in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) patients through partial inhibition of mTOR functions. Due to its limited brain permeability, we sought to develop a catalytic mTOR inhibitor optimized for central nervous system (CNS) indications. We recently reported an mTOR inhibitor (1) that is able to block mTOR functions in the mouse brain and extend the survival of mice with neuronal-specific ablation of the Tsc1 gene. However, 1 showed the risk of genotoxicity in vitro. Through structure-activity relationship (SAR) optimization, we identified compounds 9 and 11 without genotoxicity risk. In neuronal cell-based models of mTOR hyperactivity, both corrected aberrant mTOR activity and significantly improved the survival rate of mice in the Tsc1 gene knockout model. Unfortunately, 9 and 11 showed limited oral exposures in higher species and dose-limiting toxicities in cynomolgus macaque, respectively. However, they remain optimal tools to explore mTOR hyperactivity in CNS disease models.

RESUMEN

A series of 2-[(2,6)-dimethylphenyl]benzimidazole analogs displayed strong potential for mutagenicity following metabolic activation in either TA98 or TA100 Salmonella typhimurium strains. The number of revertants was significantly reduced by replacing the 2,6-dimethylphenyl group with a 2,6-dichlorophenyl moiety. Time-dependent CYP3A4 inhibition was also observed with a compound containing a 2-[(2,6)-dimethylphenyl] benzimidazole ring, implying risk for this scaffold to generate reactive metabolites.

RESUMEN

During the last two decades the micronucleus (MN) test has been extensively used as a genotoxicity screening tool of chemicals and in a variety of exploratory and mechanistic investigations. The MN is a biomarker for chromosomal damage or mitotic abnormalities since it can originate from chromosome fragments or whole chromosomes that fail to be incorporated into daughter nuclei during mitosis (Fenech et al., Mutagenesis 26: 125-132, 2011; Kirsch-Volders et al., Arch Toxicol 85: 873-899, 2011). The simplicity of scoring, accuracy, amenability to automation by image analysis or flow cytometry and the readiness to be applied to a variety of cell types either in vitro or in vivo made it a versatile tool that contributed to a large extent in our understanding of key toxicological issues related to genotoxins and their effects at the cellular and organism levels. Recently, the final acceptance of the in vitro MN test Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) guideline 487 (OECD, Guideline for testing of chemicals: in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test 487: in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus test (MNVIT). Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris, 2010) together with the standard in vivo MN test OECD guideline 474 (OECD, Guideline for the testing of chemicals no. 474 mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test. Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Paris, 1997) further positioned the assay as a key driver in the determination of the genotoxicity potential in exploratory research as well as in the regulatory environment. This book chapter covers to some extent the protocol designs and experimental steps necessary for a successful performance of the MN test and an accurate analysis of the MN by the flow cytometry technique.
