Levetiracetam

Mechanism of Levetiracetam Levetiracetam

Shows antiepileptic action by regulating the release of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters (glutamine, GABA, etc.) from the presynaptic region by binding to synaptic vesicle protein SV2A

The synaptic vesicle cycle Synaptic vesicles: Cycle of vesicles containing

neurotransmitters existing inside presynaptic nerve terminals

Role of synaptic vesicles (1) Load neurotransmitters into synaptic vesicles via

transporters

(2) Transport synaptic vesicles inside the cell via trafficking proteins

SV2: One of the synaptic vesicle proteins SV2: a glycoprotein that penetrate the synaptic

vesicle membrane 12 times; has three subtypes (2A, 2B, and 2C)

Its physiological role has not been elucidated in detail, but it is thought to be involved in the release of neurotransmitters.

Characteristics of Levetiracetam Characteristics: (1) binds to synaptic vesicle protein

2A (SV2A); (2) inhibits N-type calcium (Ca2+) channels; (3) inhibits intracellular release of Ca2+; (4) opposes allosteric inhibition of GABA- and glycine-gated currents; and (5) inhibits neuronal hyper-synchronization

High affinity for SV2A (not seen in any other existing antiepileptic drugs) 22

The synaptic vesicle cycle

priming (3) docking (4) calcium

sensing

(5) fusion (exocytosis)

Epilepsy Epilepsy: a disease whose cardinal symptom is recurrent seizures with excessive excitement

(electrical discharge) in brain cell networks due to various causes and associated with diverse symptoms besides seizures such as a decline in consciousness and motor function.

- Seizures recur as a result of increased seizure readiness - May develop due to encephalitis, meningitis, or brain trauma due to traffic accident or other causes.

Characteristics: Recurrent seizures that occur repeatedly at regular intervals and that will continue to recur without appropriate treatment

- Opportunistic convulsions: convulsive seizures such as convulsions in an infant with a fever (febrile convulsions) or that occur from heavy drinking or during childbirth. Opportunistic convulsions are different from epilepsy, since seizures do not recur after recovery from the medical condition.

Idiopathic epilepsy: unknown etiology - Symptomatic epilepsy: caused by encephalitis, brain tumor, or brain trauma (with clear cause)

Site of onset: seizure symptoms can be extremely varied, and the method of treatment differs depending on the seizure symptoms

- Partial seizures: excessive excitement of the brain occurs and spreads out from one part of the brain - Generalized seizures: excessive excitement deep within the brain spreads throughout the entire brain

Four major classifications of epilepsy Type of seizure

Partial seizures Generalized seizures

Cause Unknown etiology • Idiopathic localization-

related epilepsy • Idiopathic generalized

epilepsy Caused by organic disorder of the brain resulting

from a tumor or traffic accident, etc. • Symptomatic localization-

related epilepsy • Symptomatic

generalized epilepsy 23

Diagnosis

Symptoms and Diagnosis of Epilepsy Pathogenic mechanisms of epilepsy

24

(1) Seizure at the cellular level due to increased electrical activity

(2) Synchronization with surrounding neurons

• Decline in GABA inhibition • Increase in extracellular

potassium concentration • Open NMDA channels

(3) Propagation to adjacent regions of the brain

Normal condition • Surround inhibition

caused by the refractory period of ion channels and GABAergic neurons

Primary symptoms - Convulsions: tonic, clonic, and other forms of

involuntary movement - Disturbance of consciousness: transient (several

minutes to more than 10 minutes) followed by recovery

Antiepileptic Drug Market

Antiepileptic market (Japan) - No new drug has been approved in the epilepsy

market after clobazam was launched in 2000. - Since 2006, new drugs, including gabapentin, have

been launched, indicated as add-on therapy to existing drugs for non-responders. Sales of such products are added onto those of existing products.

- ¥48 billion market in 2012, with add-on portion of new drugs pushing up the market

Characteristics of Levetiracetam 1. Inhibits seizures by binding to SV2A

The higher the binding affinity for SV2A of levetiracetam derivatives, the stronger the anticonvulsant action

2. Opposes inhibition by allosteric inhibitors of GABA-gated currents Activation of GABAergic nerves

3. Inhibits intracellular release of Ca2+ Different action from other drugs

Shows no affinity for receptors such as GABAA/B benzodiazepine receptors or glutamate receptors nor for transporters or second messengers

Has no effect on the main action-targets (Na+ channels and T-type Ca2+ channels) of existing antiepileptic drugs

Does not affect hepatic metabolic enzymes No need for titration (effective dose can be used

right from the initial administration) AE incidence: comparable to placebo Partial seizure frequency: reduction seen vs.

placebo - Enhanced effects is be expected from

concomitant use with other drugs.

Parkinson’s Disease Causes - Attributable to a decline in dopamine content in the striatum resulting from degeneration of dopamine-

secreting cells in the substantia nigra pars compacta of the midbrain - Abnormalities in dopaminergic neurotransmission in the basal ganglia cause malfunction of the loop

circuit running through the motor area in the cerebral cortex of the frontal lobe and the basal ganglia, leading to development of serious motor disorders such as akinesia, rigidity, and tremors

Signs and symptoms - Four cardinal characteristics: akinesia/hypokinesia, tremor at rest, muscular rigidity, and disturbance of

posture and gait - Other symptoms

• Non-motor symptoms: constipation, drooling, orthostatic hypotension (autonomic nervous symptom), postprandial hypotension, hyperhidrosis, and dysphagia resulting from muscle stiffening in the face and throat, etc.

• Psychiatric symptoms: apathy, anhedonia, anxiety, depression (complication in 60% of cases), visual hallucinations, and cognitive impairment

Diagnostic criteria (2011 Treatment Guidelines for Parkinson’s Disease)

32

Neurologic findings

1. Tremor at rest 2. Akinesia/hypokinesia: mask-like face; low, monotone

voice; slow movement; inability to change posture readily 3. Muscular rigidity with the cogwheel phenomenon 4. Disturbance of posture and gait: forward-flexed posture;

no hand shaking while walking; difficulty stopping once starts walking (pulsion); short-stepped gait; impaired righting reflex

Clinical laboratory findings

1. No abnormalities on general tests 2. No abnormalities on brain imaging tests (CT, MRI)

Differential diagnosis

1. not a drug-induced illness 2. Symptoms improve with L-DOPA administration 3. Neurodegenerative disease showing characteristic

findings and parkinsonism due to cerebrovascular disease ruled out

Stage Hoehn & Yahr Scale (medical subsidy for stage 3 and above)

1 • Unilateral parkinsonism

2 • Bilateral parkinsonism without impairment of balance

3 • Mild to moderate bilateral parkinsonism; impairment of balance; assistance not needed

4 • Severe parkinsonism; impairment of balance; still able to walk or stand unassisted

5 • Wheelchair bound or bedridden unless aided; difficulty walking even with assistance

Basal ganglia Striatum (GABA)

Parkinson’s disease • Decline in dopamine content in the striatum resulting

from degeneration and loss of dopaminergic cells in the substantia nigra

• D1 receptors: GABAergic neurons have a weak inhibitory effect, since there is no excitatory effect, due to little binding of dopamine

• D2 receptors: GABAergic neurons have a strong inhibitory effect, since there is no inhibition due to little binding of dopamine

Direct pathway • Loss of excitatory input attenuation of cell activity

neural activity increases in globus pallidus internal segment

Indirect pathway • Loss of inhibitory input cellular activity increases

attenuation of neural activity in globus pallidus external segment subthalamic nuclei neural activity increases neural activity accelerates in globus pallidus internal segment

Depletion of dopamine in the striatum in Parkinson’s disease works to increase neural activity in the globus pallidus internal segment, as motor information passes through either direct or indirect pathway, ultimately inhibiting activity in the thalamus and motor area.

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) Epidemiology - Prevalence (Japan): 2.1 million (1.7% of population)

- No. of diagnosed patients: 43,000 (2% of potential patients)

- No. of treated patients: 43,000 (100% of diagnosed patients)

- Because of low recognition of the disease, it is often overlooked, misdiagnosed as insomnia or other disease, and not sufficiently treated.

Pathogenesis (exact cause unknown) - Metabolic abnormality resulting from decline in dopamine function

and insufficient iron in the central nervous system, abnormality of spinal cord and peripheral nerves, and genetic factors, etc.

Signs and symptoms - Subjective symptoms: Abnormal sensations such as creeping, an

urge to move, itching, or a feeling like bugs crawling, primarily in the legs, but potentially throughout the body, when in a still posture or lying down. Since it is difficult to suppress the symptoms, patients cannot stop moving legs and/or arms, trying to eliminate the sensations.

- From evening through the nighttime the symptoms exacerbate, causing sleep-onset insomnia, deep sleep disorder, or middle-of-the-night insomnia, which have a profound impact on everyday life.

- Secondary symptoms: Disturbed sleep causes fatigue during daytime. Worsening of symptoms may lead to depression and chronic pain.

disorders of the lower extremities, Parkinson’s disease, etc.

Diagnostic Criteria

44

History taking • Family history, symptoms, time of symptom onset

Diagnostic criteria 1. Strong desire to move the legs due to abnormal

sensations in the legs. 2. The abnormal sensations exacerbate when at

rest or lying still. 3. The abnormal sensations improve with

movement. 4. The abnormal sensations increase in the evening

and at night.

Characteristics (diagnostic aids)

• Positive family history • Responds to dopamine agonists • Periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD1)

Severity rating International RLS Rating Scale

Severity Score Content of 10 questions

Mild Up to 10

• The system consists of 10 questions about the patient’s subjective symptoms that are answered by patients and scored in five levels from 0 to 4 based on the symptoms.

(1) leg discomfort, (2) tiredness or sleepiness, (3)

need to move, (4) frequency of symptoms, (5) relief of discomfort from moving, (6) affect on daily affairs, (7) sleep disturbance, (8) level of mood disturbance, (9) RLS as a whole, (10) severity of symptoms

Moderate 11-20

Severe 21-30

Very severe

31 and above

1) PLMD: Rapid leg movement caused by involuntary contraction of the tibialis anterior muscle in one or both legs. The rapid leg movement lasts for 0.5-5 seconds and occurs at intervals from 20-40 seconds apart. 2) SIT: An objective test, lasting 60 minutes and conducted 90 minutes before bedtime, that has been tried to evaluate periodic limb movement while waking (PLMW). The subject lies down in an easy chair at a 45-degree angle with the eyes open and the legs outstretched while EMG recording of activity in the tibialis anterior muscle is performed on the still state. A visual analog scale is filled out for leg discomfort every five minutes during the test. In a case of restless leg syndrome, PLMW increases in the second half of the SIT.

TAS-114 dUTPase inhibitor (First in class)

Mechanism of Action Key Data <Preclinical Study>

Concept: TAS-114 is a novel potent inhibitor of dUTPase with modest DPD inhibition. TAS-114 demonstrates the potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of 5-FU-based chemotherapy. Clinical benefits : Potentiating anti-tumor activity of 5-FU based drug with dUTPase inhibition. DPD inhibition enables the dose reduction of Capecibatine and it would improve AE profiles caused by 5-FU higher dosing. (e.g. HFS). Status: Phase I Solid tumors JP/US/EU

Water Metabolism Control: urinary concentrating mechanism and drinking behavior

- Urinary concentrating mechanism (maintain body fluid): renal function and pituitary hormone AVP are involved.

- Renal function: Filtering blood approx. 150L/day at the glomerulus. 90% of filtered primitive urine is passively reabsorbed at Proximal convoluted tubule and 10% are actively reabsorbed at collecting duct by AVP. Urine volume is controlled 1-2L/day.

- AVP secretion: Controlled through hypothalamic osmoreceptor and baroceptor in carotid sinus, aortic arch and left atrium.

- Osmoreceptor: Promotes AVP secretion by plasma osmolarity increases. - Baroceptor: Promotes AVP secretion by low body fluid, low

blood pressure and low left atrial pressure.

- Secreted AVP binds to AVP2 receptor at collecting duct cells, increases inner-cell cAMP and promotes water reabsorption by activating aquaporin-2. This results in water reabsorption promotion, increase of body fluid, decrease of plasma osmolarity, inhibits AVP secreting activity.

Hyponatremia - Condition that sodium level in the blood is under136mEq and excess of total body water for total sodium volume in the body.

- Symptoms:Functional disorder in CNS such as altered personality, lethargy and confusion. Stupor state, enhancement of neuromuscular excitability, twitch, lethargy and sometimes death occur due to the decrease in blood sodium level to under 115mEq. Sequela: Hypothalamic infarction, posterior pituitary infarction,brain-stem hernia.

Most of the existing diuretics also work at other sites than distal tubule, excreting both sodium and water

Category Mode of Action Major drugs

Thiazide diuretics

• Act on Na+/Cl-cotransporter of distal convoluted tubule

• Excretion of Na+, K+, Cl-

• Trichlormethiazid • hydrochlorothiazide • Indapamide • Chlorthalidone, etc

Loop diuretics

• Act on Henle's loop Na+/K+/2Cl-cotransporter

• Excretion of Na+, K+, Ca2+, Cl-

• Furosemide • Torasemide • Azosemide • Bumetanide, etc

Aldosterone antagonist (K-sparing diuretic)

• Act on distal convoluted tubule and aldosterone receptor at collecting duct

• Promote Na+ excretion

• Spironolactone • Eplerenone

• Tubule Na+ channel inhibitor • Triamterene • Amiloride

Tolvaptan (V2-receptor antagonist) Tolvaptan shows water diuretic action without directly affecting the excretion of electrolytes by inhibiting of water re-absorption at renal collecting tubule.

The more use, the more imbalance of blood electrolytes

Function and Structure of Tears Tears

• Secreted in a certain amount from the lacrimal glands at every blinking of the eyes (about 20-30 times per minute)

90% drains from the lacrimal canaliculi through nasolacrimal duct to the pharynx; 10% evaporates

Amount of tears covering the cornea and conjunctiva is 5-10 μl; protects the eyes by constantly coating the surface of the eyes through blinking

• Primary functions Prevents eye dryness; disinfects the eyes; cleans the eyes (dust, antigens,

allergens, etc.) - Supplies cornea and other tissues with oxygen and nutrition

22

Structure of tears • Tear film consists of three layers: lipid, aqueous, and mucin 1) Lipid layer: prevents evaporation of water; content is lipid film secreted from meibomian glands 2) Aqueous layer: primary component of tears; 95% water; moisturizes the

eyes; immune proteins such as IgA in this layer protect the eyes from bacteria

3) Mucin layer: stabilizes lacrimal fluid; allows even distribution of the tear as the cornea sheds water with a sticky substance; primary component is mucin secreted from conjunctival goblet cells

Age-related Macular Degeneration: AMD Age-related Macular Degeneration: AMD - AMD is a disease that macular in retina degenerates with aging. - Dry AMD: results from atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelial layer below the retina, which causes vision loss

through loss of photoreceptors in the central part of the eye. Progression is slow. - Wet AMD: causes vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel growth (choroidal neovascularization) in the

choriocapillaris, through Bruch's membrane, ultimately leading to blood and protein leakage below the macula. Bleeding, leaking, and scarring from these blood vessels eventually cause irreversible damage to the photoreceptors and rapid vision loss if left untreated. Progression is fast.

- Symptoms 1) Metamorphopsia: a type of distorted vision in which a grid of straight lines

appears wavy and parts of the grid may appear by distortion of retina caused by swelling of retina or gathering of liquid under retina. Surrounding parts are clearly seen since other parts except macular is not damaged.

2) Decreased vision, central scotoma: Damaged retina of macula causes central scotoma and decreased vision. Wet AMD progression is fast and in most cases, leads to severe ingravescence of visual acuity

Protein

• Cone cell: A fundamental cell of color vision, that develops visual pigment with different wavelength characteristic. Cone cell has a low luminous sensitivity and needs abundant light volume.

• Rod cell: Develops only single visual pigment and no color vision. Rod cell functions in the darkness as it has a high luminous sensitivity,

while cone cell doesn’t. This results that the shape of object can be clearly identified but not the color in the darkness, • Rhodopsin:Pigment in rod cell responsible for formulation of light receptor cell in retina and early stage of light recognition. The object

can be seen red-purple color in the light and black-white in the darkness, as rhodopsin mostly absorb aeruginous light. Rhodopsin fades immediately by sudden exposure to the light and recovery takes approximately 30 minutes.

β carotene

Conformational change of isomerization from cis-retinol in protein to all-trans-retinol is transmitted into cells by light stimulation, which transmitted to visual cell as signal of “light”.

• There are abundant alcohol dehydrogenase in retina that oxidizes retinol to retinal.

• Production of formaldehyde in retina, when consumed methanol, results in death of visual cell and blindness by its toxicity.

• Rhodopsin consists of vitamin A. Lack of vitamin A causes shortage of rhodopsin necessary for rod cell. The rod cell cannot receive a small light stimulation, resulting in the vision loss at night.

• Lack of rod cell causes night blindness as cone cell cannot receive light stimulation under low-intensity light.

Development Status

Electroretinogram - Contact lenses-type electrodes are placed on the cornea and retina is exposed to standardized stimuli.

The resulting signal is displayed showing the changes of electrical potentials between retina and cornea, investigating if the retina is normal.

- Damages to rod photoreceptors lead to impaired adaptation to darkness. Adaptation to darkness is defined as a recovery of photoreceptors in retina in the darkness after exposure to brightness. Adaptation to darkness may be a bio-assay of conditions in RPE, Bruch's membrane and choroid layer. Impaired adaptation to darkness could be a clinical marker for the diagnosis of those diseases states.

Glaucoma Glaucoma

- Caused by elevation of intraocular pressure to abnormal level by imbalance of aqueous humor production and outflow.

- Aqueous humor is generated at ciliary body, flows to anterior chamber then outflows from angle. Intraocular pressure is stabilized by flows of aqueous humor .

- Visual loss from optic nerve compression is caused by elevation of intraocular pressure by slow outflow of aqueous humor in anterior chamber.

127

Classification - Open angle glaucoma: The drainage system gradually become clogged over several months to

years. Impediment to drainage of aqueous humor causes gradual elevation of intraocular pressure while it is produced normally.

- Closed angle glaucoma: Onset of this kind of glaucoma is less frequent. The drainage system suddenly becomes clogged and causes acute elevation of intraocular pressure. Angle:angle at joint of iris and cornea around anterior chamber. Over 96% of aqueous humor outflows

from angle through trabecular pathway, canal of Schlemm or surface of ciliary body and choroidal vessels.

Symptoms - Open angle glaucoma: At the initial stage there is no pain or apparent symptoms but expansion of

visual field defect gradually develops over the years. Many patients are unaware of the disease until the last stage as it develops slowly. Vision will be lost peripherally, causing concentric contraction of visual field. The disease results in blindness if not treated early.

- Closed angle glaucoma: Causes severe pain, headache, vomiting, red eye, blurred vision and sudden decrease of vision with acute elevation of intraocular pressure. Vision may be seriously damaged if prompt treatment was not given when the symptoms occur.

- In both open angle and closed angle glaucoma, once the disease develops in one eye, it tends to occur on the other eye.
