The pediatric psychopharmacology of autism spectrum disorder: A systematic review - Part II: The future

Review

Author: Mirabelli, Silvestro ; Cortese, Samuele ; Parlatini, Valeria ; Persico, Antonio M. ; Asta, Lisa ; Arango, Celso ; Chehbani, Fethia ; Vitiello, Benedetto ; Persico, Antonio M

Part I of this systematic review summarized the state-of-the-art of pediatric psychopharmacology for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a severe and lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder. The purpose of this Part II follow-up article is to provide a systematic overview of the experimental psychopharmacology of ASD. To this aim, we have first identified in the Clinicaltrials.gov website all the 157 pharmacological and nutraceutical compounds which have been experimentally tested in children and adolescents with ASD using the randomized placebo-controlled trial (RCT) design. After excluding 24 drugs already presented in Part I, a systematic review spanning each of the remaining 133 compounds was registered on Prospero (ID: CRD42023476555), performed on PubMed (August 8, 2024), and completed with EBSCO, PsycINFO (psychology and psychiatry literature) and the Cochrane Database of Systematic reviews, yielding a total of 115 published RCTs, including 57 trials for 23 pharmacological compounds and 48 trials for 17 nutraceuticals/supplements. Melatonin and oxytocin were not included, because recent systematic reviews have been already published for both these compounds. RCTs of drugs with the strongest foundation in preclinical research, namely arbaclofen, balovaptan and bumetanide have all failed to reach their primary end-points, although efforts to target specific patient subgroups do warrant further investigation. For the vast majority of compounds, including cannabidiol, vasopressin, and probiotics, insufficient evidence of efficacy and safety is available. However, a small subset of compounds, including N-acetylcysteine, folinic acid, l-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, sulforaphane, and metformin may already be considered, with due caution, for clinical use, because there is promising evidence of efficacy and a high safety profile. For several other compounds, such as secretin, efficacy can be confidently excluded, and/or the data discourage undertaking new RCTs. Part I and Part II summarize "drug-based" information, which will be ultimately merged to provide clinicians with a "symptom-based" consensus statement in a conclusive Part III, with the overarching aim to foster evidence-based clinical practices and to organize new strategies for future clinical trials.

Clinically-probed mechanisms of action in Fragile-X syndrome fail to normalize translational EEG phenotypes in Fmr1 knockout mice

Article

Author: Redondo, Roger L ; Bainier, Marie ; Janz, Philipp ; Gross, Simon ; Redondo, Roger L. ; Marashli, Samuel

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein (FMRP) deficiency. Electroencephalogram (EEG) changes in FXS include alterations of oscillatory activity and responses to sensory stimuli, some of which have been back-translated into rodent models by knocking-out the Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1 gene (Fmr1-KO). However, the validity of these EEG phenotypes as objective biomarkers requires further investigation. Potential pharmacotherapies such as mGluR5 inhibitors (e.g. CTEP; 2-chloro-4-((2,5-dimethyl-1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)-1H-imidazole-4-yl)ethynyl)pyridine), GABA_BR agonists (e.g. arbaclofen) and δ-containing GABA_AR agonists (e.g. gaboxadol) have not translated into clinical success despite rescuing many phenotypes in the Fmr1-KO model. Yet none of these treatments have been assessed on EEG phenotypes in the Fmr1-KO model. Therefore, we set out to discover new EEG phenotypes in Fmr1-KO mice, using "task-free" and auditory-evoked (AEPs) and visually-evoked potential (VEP) paradigms, and probe their modulation by CTEP, arbaclofen and gaboxadol, using within-subjects designs. First, we report Fmr1-KO-associated EEG abnormalities that closely resemble those observed in FXS, including elevated gamma-band power, reduced alpha/beta-band coherence, increased AEPs and delayed VEPs. Secondly, we found that pharmacological treatment, at best, only partially normalized EEG phenotypes. CTEP restored alpha/beta-band coherence and AEP amplitudes but failed to normalize gamma power and VEP latencies. Conversely, arbaclofen reduced gamma power but did not restore coherence or AEP amplitudes and further delayed VEPs. Gaboxadol did not normalize any EEG phenotypes. We conclude that these compounds have limited ability to normalize these EEG phenotypes.

Screening Targets and Therapeutic Drugs for Alzheimer’s Disease Based on Deep Learning Model and Molecular Docking

Article

Author: Zhong, Man-Li ; Li, Jia-Yi ; Gao, Hui-Ling ; Zhang, Ya-Hong ; Zhao, Pu

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a complex interplay of various factors. However, a satisfactory cure for AD remains elusive. Pharmacological interventions based on drug targets are considered the most cost-effective therapeutic strategy. Therefore, it is paramount to search potential drug targets and drugs for AD. Objective: We aimed to provide novel targets and drugs for the treatment of AD employing transcriptomic data of AD and normal control brain tissues from a new perspective. Methods: Our study combined the use of a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) with differential expression analysis, variance assessment and molecular docking to screen targets and drugs for AD. Results: We identified the seven differentially expressed genes (DEGs) with the most significant variation (ANKRD39, CPLX1, FABP3, GABBR2, GNG3, PPM1E, and WDR49) in transcriptomic data from AD brain. A newly built MLP was used to confirm the association between the seven DEGs and AD, establishing these DEGs as potential drug targets. Drug databases and molecular docking results indicated that arbaclofen, baclofen, clozapine, arbaclofen placarbil, BML-259, BRD-K72883421, and YC-1 had high affinity for GABBR2, and FABP3 bound with oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Arbaclofen and YC-1 activated GABAB receptor through PI3K/AKT and PKA/CREB pathways, respectively, thereby promoting neuronal anti-apoptotic effect and inhibiting p-tau and Aβ formation. Conclusions: This study provided a new strategy for the identification of targets and drugs for the treatment of AD using deep learning. Seven therapeutic targets and ten drugs were selected by using this method, providing new insight for AD treatment.

AbbVie achieves win for migraine prevention drug Aquipta in Europe

Adam Zamecnik @a_zamecnik The approval of Aquipta is based on the results of the two Phase III studies. Credit: Shutterstock / Prostock-studio. The European Commission has approved AbbVie’s Aquipta as migraine prophylaxis for adult patients, making it the first daily oral treatment of its class to be approved in the EU for the prevention of both chronic and episodic migraines. Several calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibodies are administered subcutaneously or via intravenous infusions. But there is a preference among patients for oral therapies, says Dawn Carlson, vice president, Neuroscience Development at AbbVie , in an interview with Pharmaceutical Technology. Lundbeck’s CGRP antibody Vyepti (eptinezumab), is administered through intravenous infusions, while Amgen’s Aimovig (erenumab) is injected subcutaneously. Recommended Reports Reports LOA and PTSR Model - Dexmedetomidine in Opium (Opioid) Addiction GlobalData Reports LOA and PTSR Model - Arbaclofen Er in Opium (Opioid) Addiction GlobalData View all Companies Intelligence AbbVie Inc Amgen Inc Lundbeck LLC Progress Kft View all The approval of Aquipta is based on the results of the two Phase III studies—ADVANCE (NCT03777059) and PROGRESS (NCT03855137), which both met their primary endpoint of a statistically significant reduction in mean monthly migraine days versus placebo, per the 17 August announcement . In the PROGRESS trial, patients in the 60mg Aquipta cohort reported a 6.8-day reduction in mean monthly migraine days, while those on placebo experienced a 5.1-day reduction. Such a reduction represents a clinically meaningful change in the experience of patients who feel pain not just during the actual migraine attack, but also in the symptoms prior to the attack, explains Carlson. The studies’ secondary endpoints were equally meaningful, with decreases in headache days and medication use, she adds. Also known as atogepant, Aquipta is a CGRP receptor antagonist (gepant). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) first approved the treatment for prophylactic use as an episodic migraine treatment in September 2021. In April 2023, AbbVie managed to expand the drug’s label to chronic migraines. While the drug’s European brand name is Aquipta, it is sold under the name Qulipta in Canada and the US. Carlson says: “Now that we’ve received approval, AbbVie is committed to bringing these expeditiously to patients and we’re working with the appropriate country authorities and reimbursement agencies to bring these solutions as quickly as we can…But that will take some time.” According to a GlobalData consensus sales forecast, Aquipta/Qulipta is projected to have global sales of $1.37bn in 2029. GlobalData is the parent company of Pharmaceutical Technology . Beyond the EU and countries where the drug was already approved, AbbVie is on the lookout for further expansion. “We know that migraine is a global disease with over a billion patients suffering, and we are committed to exploring options in other countries. And that’s on a case-by-case basis, but we are looking at other areas to bring this forward because AbbVie is committed to finding solutions for patients suffering from migraine.”
