Aging is the biggest risk factor for most chronic diseases Global Burden of Disease Collaborative Network. Global Burden of Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017) Results Why does this happen? Aging is not just due to random wear and tear Aging is biology that may be targeted with medicines

Well-characterized pathways associated with aging and aging-related diseases AGING Accumulation of Senescent Cells TORC1 Activity NAD Depletion Epigenetic Changes DNA Damage Mitochondrial Dysfunction Stem Cell Exhaustion

TORC1 Pathway: Lamming et al. Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013 TORC1 inhibition extended lifespan and healthspan in multiple preclinical species Mice Flies Worms Yeast TORC1 is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that regulates aging

TORC1 inhibitors extend lifespan in mice even when started late in life and given intermittently Daily Dosing Intermittent Dosing Once Every 5 Days (1) (2) 1Harrison et al. Nature, 2009; 2Arriola Arpelo et al. Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci, 2016

TORC1 activity (pS6 in liver) Fed Fasted Young Mice Old Mice Feeding activates TORC1 and increases protein and lipid synthesis TORC1 activity remained aberrantly elevated during fasting, which may prevent upregulation of protective pathways Sengupta et al., Nature, 2010 Fed Fasted Fasting inhibits TORC1 and upregulates protective pathways Total S6

Inhibition of TORC1 has the potential to improve the function of multiple aging organ systems Improvement in physical activity Selman et al., Science, 2011 Harrison et al., Nature, 2009 Wilkinson et al., Aging Cell, 2014 Flynn et al., Aging Cell, 2013 Reversal of aging-related cardiac dysfunction Flynn et al., Aging Cell, 2013 Dai et al., Aging Cell, 2014 Chiao et al., Aging, 2016 Improved Neurologic Function Tain et al., Nature Neuroscience, 2009 Malagelada et al., J Neurosci, 2010 Spilman et al., PLoS ONE, 2010 Halloran et al., Neuroscience, 2012 Majumder et al., Aging Cell, 2012 Neff et al., JCI, 2013 Reversal of aging-related immune dysregulation Chen et al., Science Sig, 2009 Selman et al., Science, 2011 Neff et al., JCI, 2013 Hurez et al., Aging Cell, 2015

Protein aggregation is a common pathogenic mechanism in aging-related neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer’s Disease Huntington’s Disease Amyloid plaques Neurofibrillary tangles Lewy bodies Aggregated huntingtin Amyloid β protein Phosphorylated tau α-synuclein Mutated huntingtin Parkinson’s Disease

Defective autophagy may contribute to the accumulation of aggregated proteins in neurodegenerative diseases Autophagy is a mechanism by which aggregated proteins and dysfunctional organelles are broken down and recycled into nutrients in cells Protein Aggregate Autophagosome Nutrients Phagophore Autophagolysosome Lysosome Menzies et al. Neuron, 2017

Mutations in autophagy-related proteins are found in multiple neurodegenerative diseases Menzies et al. Neuron, 2017

Parkinson’s Disease Prevalence: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease and affects 1% of population over 55 years of age Pathobiology: PD is characterized by loss of >50% of the neurons that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine in a specific area of the brain (substantia nigra) Clinical manifestations: Four cardinal motor symptoms: Resting tremor Bradykinesia (slowed movements) Muscle rigidity Postural instability All current therapies treat symptoms of PD but do not alter disease progression Image from Wikiwand

TORC1 inhibitors may be of therapeutic benefit in Parkinson’s disease Induction of autophagy with a TORC1 inhibitor leads to the clearance of a-synuclein aggregates in a preclinical PD model Malagelada et al. J Neurosci, 2010; Crews et al. PLoS one, 2010 # dead neurons Vehicle TOR inhibitor Vehicle TOR inhibitor Control MPTP Treatment Mouse TORC1 inhibition prevents neuronal loss and improves motor function in multiple PD preclinical models

TORC1 Inhibitors that will be evaluated in a Phase 1b/2a trial in Parkinson’s Disease SIrolimus: Allosteric inhibitor of TORC1 Consistently inhibits phosphorylation of only some targets downstream of TORC1 Approved for use in humans sirolimus (rapamycin) RTB101: ATP competitive catalytic site inhibitor of mTOR protein kinase Inhibits phosphorylation of all targets downstream of TORC1 May have advantages over rapalogs for PD Crosses the blood brain barrier in preclinical models RTB101

Summary Protein aggregation is a common pathogenic mechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases Induction of autophagy may have therapeutic benefit in neurodegenerative diseases by clearing toxic protein aggregates In preclinical models, TORC1 inhibition with RTB101 alone or in combination with a rapalog induces autophagy Phase 1b/2a study or RTB101 alone and in combination with sirolimus is underway
