项目摘要

Heterotopic ossification (HO), the formation of ectopic bone in skeletal muscle and other connective tissues, is an important cause of morbidity from joint immobility and pain. Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP), a rare form of HO, is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait and is typically associated with activating mutations in Acvr1, the gene encoding the BMP type I receptor, ALK2. Individuals with FOP only have minimal skeletal abnormalities at birth, but extensive HO affecting nearly all skeletal muscles, ligaments and fascia is triggered after birth by traumatic injury or inflammation. No effective treatments currently exist for FOP patients, and disease progression results in severe restriction of joint function and premature mortality. In 2008, the principal collaborators identified the first small molecule inhibitor of BMP signaling. The compound, dorsomorphin, blocks BMP signaling by inhibiting BMP type I receptors. Dorsomorphin derivatives were developed through initial medicinal chemistry optimization. The overall objective of this research is to advance the development of a dorsomorphin derivative in preparation for clinical testing in patients with FOP. The TRND researchers determined that the initial lead molecule was unsuitable for further preclinical development. As such, TRND scientists are performing medicinal chemistry optimization to identify a compound suitable for formal preclinical development.

异位骨化（HO）是骨骼肌和其他结缔组织中异位骨的形成，是关节固定和疼痛发病的重要原因。纤维状发育异常，ossificans Progressiva（FOP）是一种罕见的HO形式，被遗传为常染色体显性性状，通常与编码BMP I型受体ALK2的基因ACVR1激活突变有关。 FOP的个体出生时只有最小的骨骼异常，但是在出生后，由于创伤性损伤或炎症而触发了几乎所有骨骼肌，韧带和筋膜的广泛HO。目前尚无针对FOP患者的有效治疗方法，疾病进展会严重限制关节功能和过早死亡。 2008年，主要合作者确定了BMP信号传导的第一个小分子抑制剂。该化合物通过抑制BMP I型受体来阻断BMP信号传导。通过最初的药物化学优化开发了后形蛋白衍生物。这项研究的总体目的是促进FOP患者的临床测试做准备的后形蛋白衍生物的发展。 TRND研究人员确定初始铅分子不适合进一步的临床前开发。因此，TRND科学家正在进行药物化学优化，以识别适合正式临床前开发的化合物。
