A1120, a Nonretinoid RBP4 Antagonist, Inhibits Formation of Cytotoxic Bisretinoids in the Animal Model of Enhanced Retinal Lipofuscinogenesis
Open accessAbstract
PURPOSE: Excessive accumulation of lipofuscin is associated with pathogenesis of atrophic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and Stargardt disease. Pharmacologic inhibition of the retinol-induced interaction of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) with transthyretin (TTR) in the serum may decrease the uptake of serum retinol to the retina and reduce formation of lipofuscin bisretinoids. We evaluated in vitro and in vivo properties of the new nonretinoid RBP4 antagonist, A1120. METHODS: RBP4 binding potency, ability to antagonize RBP4-TTR interaction, and compound specificity were analyzed for A1120 and for the prototypic RBP4 antagonist fenretinide. A1120 ability to inhibit RPE65-mediated isomerohydrolase activity was assessed in the RPE microsomes. The in vivo effect of A1120 administration on serum RBP4, visual cycle retinoids, lipofuscin bisretinoids, and retinal visual function was evaluated using a combination of biochemical and electrophysiologic techniques. RESULTS: In comparison to fenretinide, A1120 did not act as a RARα agonist, while exhibiting superior in vitro potency in RBP4 binding and RBP4-TTR interaction assays. A1120 did not inhibit isomerohydrolase activity in the RPE microsomes. A1120 dosing in mice induced 75% reduction in serum RBP4, which correlated with reduction in visual cycle retinoids and ocular levels of lipofuscin fluorophores. A1120 dosing did not induce changes in kinetics of dark adaptation. CONCLUSIONS: A1120 significantly reduces accumulation of lipofuscin bisretinoids in the Abca4(-/-) animal model. This activity correlates with reduction in serum RBP4 and visual cycle retinoids confirming the mechanism of action for A1120. In contrast to fenretinide, A1120 does not act as a RARα agonist indicating a more favorable safety profile for this nonretinoid compound.

Inhibiting RPE65 or RBP4 slows the visual cycle, deprives photoreceptors of 11-cis-retinal, and consequently reduces accumulation of toxic A2E.
“An example is slowing the visual cycle by inhibiting RPE65 or RBP4, which deprives photoreceptors of 11-cis-retinal and consequently reduces the accumulation of toxic A2E.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
