Abstract
The invention provides a compound of one of the formulae (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F) as herein defined, or a salt thereof, for use in the treatment of a condition associated with increased or decreased HIF levels or activity, or a condition in which an increase or decrease in HIF levels or activity may be beneficial.
Description
- The present invention relates to compounds which modulate 2OG (2-oxoglutarate) dependent oxygenases, in particular prolyl hydroxylases. These may be useful as modulators of HIF (hypoxia inducible factor) alpha (HIF-α) prolyl hydroxylase.
- The transcription factor HIF (hypoxia inducible factor) system is a key regulator of responses to hypoxia, occupying a central position in oxygen homeostasis in a wide range of organisms. A large number of transcriptional targets have been identified, with critical roles in angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, energy metabolism, inflammation, vasomotor function, and apoptotic/proliferative responses. The system is essential for normal development, and plays a key role in pathophysiological responses to ischaemia/hypoxia. HIF is also important in cancer, in which it is commonly upregulated, and has major effects on tumour growth and angiogenesis. The HIF DNA binding complex consists of a heterodimer of α and β subunits. Regulation by oxygen occurs through hydroxylation of the α-subunits, which are rapidly destroyed by the proteasome in oxygenated cells. This involves binding of HIF-α-subunits by the von Hippel-Lindau tumour suppressor protein pVHL), with pVHL acting as the, or part of the, recognition component for a ubiquitin ligase that promotes ubiquitin dependent proteolysis through interaction with a specific sequence or sequences in HIF-α-subunits. In hypoxia, this process is suppressed, so stabilizing HIF-a and permitting transcriptional activation via the HIF α, β.
- In our British Application No. 0118952.1 we disclose a polypeptide comprising:
-
- (a) the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4 or 6 having HIF hydroxylase activity;
- (b) a variant thereof having at least 60% identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2, 4 or 6 and having hydroxylase activity; or
- (c) a fragment of either thereof having HIF-α hydroxylase activity.
- Preferably, the polypeptides have prolyl hydroxylase activity and require Fe(II) for activity.
- They are related by sequence to non-haem oxygenases for which crystal structures are known, e.g. proline-3-hydroxylase (Clifton et al, Eur. J. Biochem, 2001, 268, 6625-6636).
- It also discloses polynucleotides which encode the polypeptides as well as expression vectors comprising the polynucleotide and antibodies capable of specifically binding the polypeptide. We also disclose assays for identifying modulators of the activity of the HIF hydroxylase as well as the use of modulators such as inhibitors of the activity of the peptides in the treatment of a condition or disease associated with altered HIF levels with respect to healthy (or normal) levels, and the treatment of conditions where an alteration in the HIF levels or activity would be beneficial.
- Inhibitors of the 2-OG dependent enzyme collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylase (CPH) are well known in the art and have been previously proposed for use in the treatment of lung fibrosis, skin fibrosis (scleroderma), atherosclerosis and other conditions associated with collagen biosynthesis. Inhibitors of para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate oxygenase (a non-haem oxygenase employing ferrous iron as a co-factor) such as triketones are used as herbicides (Lee D. et al (1998) Pestic. Sci. 54(4) 377-384). We have disclosed that certain of these CPH inhibitors (and other components) also inhibit the biological (i.e. HPH) activity of an PHD polypeptide. A CPH inhibitor or modified CPH inhibitor which inhibits the biological activity of an PHD polypeptide may be used in the treatment of a condition associated with reduced or suboptimal HIF levels or activity, or a condition in which an increase in HIF levels or activity may be beneficial, for example ischaemia, wound healing, auto-, allo-, and xeno-transplantation, systemic high blood pressure, cancer, inflammatory disorders, and metabolic disorders.
- Various methods and uses of modulators which inhibit, potentiate, increase or stimulate hydroxylation of HIF-α by an PHD polypeptide are disclosed. The purpose of disruption, interference with or modulation of the hydroxylation of HIF-1α by a PHD polypeptide may be to modulate cellular functions such as angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, energy metabolism, inflammation, matrix metabolism, vasomotor function, and apoptotic/proliferative responses and pathophysiological responses to ischaemia/hypoxia, all of which are mediated by HIFα as discussed above.
- Compounds which modulate 2OG oxygenases, in particular CPH may be useful as modulators of HIF prolyl hydroxylase, or may be used as ‘lead’ compounds which may be modified and/or optimised to develop modulators of HIF prolyl hydroxylase, in particular selective modulators are described.
- Some of these compounds generally possess the formula:
R1A*B*C*D*(R2)y (A)
where the group R1 is capable of forming an electrostatic interaction with the sidechain of the arginine residue which, together with other residues, binds the 5-carboxylate of 2-oxoglutarate during catalysis, A*B is a chain of two atoms which are, independently, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen or sulphur, which chain can be functionalised, y is 0 or 1 and C*D is a chain of two atoms which are, independently, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulphur, which chain can be functionalised, A, B, C and D being linked to one another by a single and/or double and/or triple bond such that when y is 0 or 1 at least one of the atoms of which is capable of chelating with a metal group and when y is 1 said chain is attached to R2 which is capable of chelating with a metal group.

- For therapeutic treatment, the compound may be used in combination with any other active substance, e.g. for anti-tumour therapy another anti-tumour compound or therapy, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
- Generally, the modulator is provided in an isolated and/or purified form, i.e. substantially pure. This may include being in a composition where it represents at least about 90% active ingredient, more preferably at least about 95%, more preferably at least about 98%. Any such composition may, however, include inert carrier materials or other pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable excipients, such as those required for correct delivery, release and/or stabilisation of the active agent. As noted below, a composition according to the present invention may include in addition to a modulator compound as disclosed, one or more other molecules of therapeutic use, such as an anti-tumour agent.
- In general they take the form of compositions wherein the compound is in a mixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The carrier may be liquid, e.g. saline, ethanol, glycerol and mixtures thereof, or solid, e.g. in the form of a tablet, or in a semi-solid form such as a gel formulated as a depot formulation or in a transdermally administerable vehicle, such as a transdermal patch. The modulator compound or composition comprising it may be formulated as the coating of a coated stent.
- The invention further provides a method of treatment which includes administering to a patient compound as defined above. Exemplary purposes of such treatment are discussed elsewhere herein.
- The therapeutic/prophylactic purpose of such a method or use may be the modulation of the level of HIFα in a cell by modulation, e.g. disruption or interference, of the hydroxylation of HIFα, which may occur for example at proline 402, 564 or other proline residue. Hydroxylation of HIFα promotes pVHL binding which leads to ubiquitin dependent proteolysis of HIFα as described above.
- The therapeutic/prophylactic purpose may be related to the treatment of a condition associated with reduced or suboptimal or increased HIF levels or activity, or conditions where an alteration in HIF levels or activity may be beneficial such as:
- (i) ischaemic conditions, for example organ ischaemia, including coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular insufficiency. The therapy may be applied in two ways; following declared tissue damage, e.g. myocardial infarction (in order to limit tissue damage), or prophylactically to prevent or ameliorate ischaemia, e.g. promotion of coronary collaterals in the treatment of angina.
- (ii) wound healing and organ regeneration.
- (iii) auto-, allo-, and xeno-transplantation.
- (iv) systemic blood pressure.
- (v) cancer; HIFα is commonly up-regulated in tumour cells and has major effects on tumour growth and angiogenesis.
- (vi) inflammatory disorders.
- (vii) pulmonary arterial blood pressure, neurodegenerative disease.
- (viii) metabolic disorders, e.g. diabetes.
- Modulating HIF prolyl hydroxylase activity in a person, an organ, or a group of cells may be exploited in different ways to obtain a therapeutic benefit:
- (a) Non cell autonomous: The HIF system is used by cells to influence the production of substances which signal to other cells. These signals may then have effects at (i) a distant site (for example erythropoietin acts on the bone marrow) or (ii) locally (angiogenic growth factors increase the local formation of blood vessels). Manipulating non cell autonomous behaviour via altering hydroxylase activity is therefore useful in the treatment of anaemia, and local ischaemia, for example in the eye, brain, heart and limbs. Many other signals that are involved in aspects of physiological homeostasis may be, or are known to be, adjusted by HIF activation. Consequently altering HIF prolyl hydroxylase activity may be used to potentiate or initiate a helpful response for a therapeutic benefit, or to prevent or ameliorate a harmful response. For example, this approach can be used to alter appetite, or blood pressure in the systemic or pulmonary beds.
- (b) Cell autonomous: the HIF system is also used by cells to regulate cellular metabolism, and decisions concerning differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Therefore manipulating the HIF system can be used to alter the viability and behaviour of cells. An increase in cell viability can be achieved by increasing HIF activation, for example in an ischaemic tissue. This approach can also be used in improving pancreatic beta cell viability as a way of ameliorating diabetes, or of improving the viability or function of a group or groups of neurons in Parkinson's disease, motorneurone disease or forms of dementia. In a different approach, the HIF signal can be manipulated to prevent a group of cells proliferating, or to promote its death or differentiation. For example transient activation of the HIF system in a malignant tumour can be used to provoke death of a substantial number of tumour cells.
- Pharmaceutical Compositions
- In various further aspects, the present invention thus provides a pharmaceutical composition, medicament, drug or other composition for such a purpose, the composition comprising one or more compounds of formulae (A) to (F), or derivatives thereof, the use of such an composition in a method of medical treatment, a method comprising administration of such a composition to a patient, e.g. for treatment (which may include preventative treatment) of a medical condition as described above, use of such an agent compound or substance in the manufacture of a composition, medicament or drug for administration for any such purpose, e.g. for treatment of a condition as described herein, and a method of making a pharmaceutical composition comprising admixing such an agent, compound or substance with a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, vehicle or carrier, and optionally other ingredients.
- The agent may be used as sole active agent or in combination with one another or with any other active substance, e.g. for anti-tumour therapy another anti-tumour compound or therapy, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
- Whatever the agent used in a method of medical treatment of the present invention, administration is preferably in a “prophylactically effective amount” or a “therapeutically effective amount” (as the case may be, although prophylaxis may be considered therapy), this being sufficient to show benefit to the individual. The actual amount administered, and rate and time-course of administration, will depend on the nature and severity of what is being treated. Prescription of treatment, e.g. decisions on dosage etc, is within the responsibility of general practitioners and other medical doctors.
- An agent or composition may be administered alone or in combination with other treatments, either simultaneously or sequentially dependent upon the condition to be treated, e.g. as described above.
- Pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention, and for use in accordance with the present invention, may include, in addition to active ingredient, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, carrier, buffer, stabiliser or other materials well known to those skilled in the art. Such materials should be non-toxic and should not interfere with the efficacy of the active ingredient. The precise nature of the carrier or other material will depend on the route of administration, which may be oral, or by injection, e.g. cutaneous, subcutaneous or intravenous. The compositions will typically be sterile.
- Pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration may be in tablet, capsule, powder or liquid form. A tablet may include a solid carrier such as gelatin or an adjuvant. Liquid pharmaceutical compositions generally include a liquid carrier such as water, petroleum, animal or vegetable oils, mineral oil or synthetic oil. Physiological saline solution, dextrose or other saccharide solution or glycols such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol or polyethylene glycol may be included.
- For intravenous, cutaneous or subcutaneous injection, or injection at the site of affliction, the active ingredient will be in the form of a parenterally acceptable aqueous solution which is pyrogen-free and has suitable pH, isotonicity and stability. Those of relevant skill in the art are well able to prepare suitable solutions using, for example, isotonic vehicles such as Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer's Injection, Lactated Ringer's Injection. Preservatives, stabilisers, buffers, antioxidants and/or other additives may be included, as required.
- Liposomes, particularly cationic liposomes, may be used in carrier formulations. Examples of techniques and protocols mentioned above can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 16th edition, Osol, A. (ed), 1980.
- The substance or composition may be administered in a localised manner to a particular site or may be delivered in a manner in which it targets particular cells or tissues, for example using intra-arterial stent based delivery.
- Targeting therapies may be used to deliver the active substance more specifically to certain types of cell, by the use of targeting systems such as antibody or cell specific ligands. Targeting may be desirable for a variety of reasons, for example if the agent is unacceptably toxic, or if it would otherwise require too high a dosage, or if it would not otherwise be able to enter the target cells.
- The following Examples farther illustrate the present invention.
- In vitro screening of potential inhibitors of HIF modification was performed using a capture assay. A Ga1/HIF-1α/VP16 fusion protein expressing HIF-1α residues 549-582 was prepared by IVTT (see British Application No. 0118952.1) and used as a substrate in the assay. The unlabelled substrate was immunopurified on beads, washed, and aliquots incubated in the presence of RCC4 cell extract, with 100 μM FeCl2 and 2 mM of the potential inhibitor. The inhibitors were either dissolved in DMSO or Tris as indicated. Controls, where no inhibitor but the equivalent amount of DMSO or Tris was added, were also performed. After washing, the beads were assayed for their ability to interact with 35-S labelled pVHL IVTT. Hydroxylation of the fusion protein by HIF hydroxylase present in the cell extract leads to the ability to capture the labelled pVHL and the amount of labelled protein bound to the fusion protein can then be measured to determine relative HIF hydroxylase activity. FIGS. 1 to 5 show HIF hydroxylase activity in the presence of a particular inhibitor relative to that seen in the absence of the inhibitor (the DMSO/Tris control).
