General order of priority

a-syn (mostly used) of TR06673219 in primary human microglia ~100 nM (IL-1b and IL-18), while that of primary mouse microglia is 11.3 nM. Team will use the appropriate microglia assays to adjust for species potency differences. Our NLRP3 inhibitors (NLRP3i) are inhibiting the function of NLRP3. The activation of NLRP3 inflammasome of inflammatory response requires two steps: firstly LPS for upregulation of NLRP3 mRNA/protein and secondly nigericin or ATP or other stimulant to activate the NLRP3 pathway, that leads to IL-1β maturation. The above approach is intended to use NLRP3 inhibition (NLRP3i) of activated microglia. We have been given at the same time as the stimulant. However, across in vitro assays we always incubate the compounds for an appropriate period of time (~15 min) in order to give the compounds enough exposure prior to the addition of the stimulant. We employ the LPS-priming-only paradigm here because the stimulant in our compounds is necessary for hindrance addition of compounds in vitro assays is not advisable as 1) stimulation of the inflammasome leads to cytokine accumulation in the supernatant, within an hour, that we measure and such an assay would be very messy 2) the compounds’ potency and decrease dramatically and 3) stimulants like nigericin (used in our assay) are cytotoxic and we need our compounds to inhibit the inflammasome function at the prime of the cells.

CSF1R, a microglia-specific marker, the expression of which is essentially restricted to microglia within brain.
CSF1R is a cell surface protein in a subfamily of tyrosine kinase receptors activated by two homodimeric ligands; CSF1 and IL-34 [7].
CSF1R is the primary regulator of the survival, proliferation, differentiation, and function of microglia [8]. CSF1R directly controls the development, survival, and maintenance of microglia and plays a pivotal role in neuroinflammation [9-11]. The inhibition of CSF1R has been postulated as a way to treat a variety of inflammatory and neuroinflammatory disorders [14]. Regional differences in CSF1R expression and microglia phenotype have not been studied in detail, but expression analysis in mice has demonstrated enhanced levels of CSF1R in subcortical regions and lower levels in other regions of the brain [15].

It is yet to be clarified whether CSF1R is a marker of microglia in general (with a specific phenotype, but it is conceivable that both homeostatic and reactive microglial cells express CSF1R at variable levels.

The cellular location of the signal is another major concern for TSPO ligands. Two different binding sites on glial and vascular TSPO were reported for several TSPO ligands, e.g., [11C]PK11195 (57).

11C-JNJ-54173717 has undergone successful preclinical evaluation in rat and monkey brain and will undergo further evaluation in the clinic in neurodegenerative diseases (Ory et al., 2016).studies in NHP with 11C-JNJ-54173717 showed a substantial decrease in observed SUV upon self-block and blocking with chemically distinct P2X7 antagonist

(JNJ-42253432) [109], 11C-JNJ-54173717 SMW139 have been characterised with a viral vector model which causes overexpressed human P2X7 in one hemisphere of rat, with control viral vector injected into the other. Both tracers showed increased uptake in the hemisphere with human P2X7 expressing viral vector and homogeneous binding with P2X7 [107, 109]. For 11C-JNJ-54173717 has been reported, and it demonstrated its utility in quantifying P2X7 expression in the CNS
(Mizumura, 2021 #2306) Automated reading of CPPC were prepared, and four were found to have high (sub nanomolar) potencies and selectivities to inhibit CSF1R. Neither radioligand showed defective specific binding to brain CSF1R as evidenced by self-blocking studies.
11C: [¹¹C]GW2580 [171], [¹¹C]CPPC (PMID 31171578), [¹¹C]CW3543 (PMID #1736) (mouse & NHP) GW2580 captured changes in CSF1R availability more sensitively than 11C-CPPC, with a larger dynamic range and a smaller intra-individual variability.
I conclude that according to Dr Pomper's the GW2580 PET imaging may require more pre-optimization to be more forward to clinical development as if showed dose elimination in the brain (~30 min).

Ashley Knight (LAG) is not yet IPDS studied [DIO], I performed a couple of ARG experiments using rodent and human tissue. I will be carrying out IHC on these tissues to characterize CSF1R expression. We are also planning to use human tissue from primary tumors. Based on what I do see so far, I'm seeing no better specific binding than [11C]CPPC in my own hands. Once I have these data in a summary format, I will share with the group.
