Definitions
- This invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical compounds for treating diabetes or cardiovascular diseases.
- Non- insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormalities in insulin secretion and action. Over 90% of the approximately six million diagnosed diabetics in the United States have Type 2 diabetes.
- Type 2 diabetes The hallmark of Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance, which is manifested as a decrease of insulin- stimulated glucose uptake in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. Insulin resistance is also seen in decreased ability of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose output, and abnormal insulin secretion by pancreas. These impairments of insulin action are central to the development of elevated fasting blood glucose level and glucose intolerance.
- Impaired insulin action also leads to elevated plasma insulin level (hyperinsulinemia) , and is frequently associated with hypertension, elevated bodyweight, elevated levels of triglycerides, uric acid, fibrinogen, small dense LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) particles, and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) , and decreased levels of HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) .
- This constellation of metabolic abnormalities has been termed "Syndrome X.”
- CAD coronary artery disease
- Type 2 diabetes patients Diet and exercise are first-line therapies for controlling blood glucose level in Type 2 diabetes patients.
- Type 2 diabetes patients also take oral hypoglycemic agents such as sulfonylurea insulin secretagogues, often in combination with insulin injection.
- a major drawback of current drug therapies is the occurrence of potentially life-threatening hypoglycemia due to hyperinsulinemia.
- existing drugs often fail to normalize Type 2 diabetes associated plasma lipid abnormalities that lead to cardiac morbidity and mortality. Therefore, a need exists for antidiabetic therapies that do not produce hypoglycemia, and are effective in ameliorating diabetic dyslipidemia.
- TGDs Thiazolidinediones
- Thiazolidinediones ameliorate insulin resistance and normalize plasma insulin and glucose levels without causing hypoglycemia.
- the thiazolidinedione insulin sensitizers e.g. ciglitazone, englitazone, pioglitazone, BRL 49653, and troglitazone, enhance insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose output and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake by skeletal muscle and adipose tissue.
- Thiazolidinediones also lower the level of triglycerides and elevate the level of HDL.
- Fibrates have been documented to lower plasma triglycerides and cholesterol levels and to be beneficial in the prevention of ischemic heart disease in individuals with elevated levels of LDL cholesterol. They can also modestly decrease elevated fibrinogen and PAI-1 levels. Fibrate compounds, e.g., gemfibrozil, fenofibrate, bezafibrate, and ciprofibrate, elevate the level of plasma HDL cholesterol.
- Apo Apolipoprotein
- ACO Acyl CoA oxidase
- HDL High Density Lipoprotein
- LDL Low Density Lipoprotein
- VLDL Very Low Density Lipoprotein
- PPAR Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor
- PAI-1 Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor - 1.
- compositions and methods of this invention are useful for treating, curing, reducing, or preventing one or more clinical symptoms of or associated with Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions, including, but not limited to, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high fibrinogen, high PAI-1, low HDLc, high LDLc, hypertension and obesity.
- Type 2 diabetic patients are often hyperlipidentic and face increased risk for coronary heart disease.
- the most frequent lipid abnormality encountered in Type 2 diabetes is hypertriglyceridemia associated with reduced levels of HDL and the presence of small dense LDL. Therefore, pharmacological treatment of these patients should aim not only at normalizing glucose metabolism, but also at correcting lipid abnormalities .
- Pre-diabetic subjects are individuals with fasting plasma glucose levels between about 110 and 125 mg/dL. As of June 1997, the American Diabetes Association recognizes these individuals as having "impaired fasting glucose.” Insulin resistance is most likely present in these individuals.
- the pre-diabetic subjects are at high risk for subsequent development of Type 2 diabetes (where fasting plasma glucose levels are at or above 126 mg/dL) . These individuals are predisposed to the development of cardiovascular disease. Normalizing glucose and lipid metabolism in these subjects helps to prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
- Applicant has discovered synergistic effects of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist in preventing or ameliorating the symptoms of or associated with Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions. For example,
- a PPARy agonist e.g., a thiazolidinedione
- a PPAR ⁇ agonist e.g., a fibrate
- Such combination therapy thus allows one to use lower doses of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist to avoid or reduce their respective toxicity to patients without compromising their antidiabetic and cardio-protective effects.
- co-administration of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist can reduce triglycerides to levels either agent alone cannot achieve.
- the combination therapy can control multiple diabetic and cardiovascular risk factors at the same time by (1) normalizing elevated levels of plasma triglyceride, glucose and insulin, and (2) correcting lipid and hemostatic abnormalities by elevating the level of HDLc, lowering the levels of small dense LDL and fibrinogen, and reducing body weight and blood pressure.
- Such combination treatment is more effective than treatments with one type of agent alone .
- the present invention relates to methods and compositions for preventing or treating Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions in a patient host by administering to the host a composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist.

- a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist may also be used with other PPAR subtype modulators (e.g., PPAR ⁇ or NUCl modulators) which give a similar beneficial treatment profile.
- PPAR ⁇ or NUCl modulators e.g., PPAR ⁇ or NUCl modulators
- NUCl is known to repress the activity of PPAR ⁇ and PPARy. Therefore, an agent which reduces or relieves the repression of PPAR ⁇ or PPARy by PPAR ⁇ or NUCl is useful in enhancing the triglyceride lowering activity of a PPAR ⁇ or PPARy agonist.
- Such an agent may be used either alone or in combination with a PPAR ⁇ or PPARy agonist to treat Type 2 diabetes and/or cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions.
- the pharmaceutical composition contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPAR ⁇ or NUCl modulator which reduces or relieves the repression of PPAR ⁇ or PPARy by PPAR ⁇ or NUCl .
- a PPAR ⁇ or NUCl modulator which reduces or relieves the repression of PPAR ⁇ or PPARy by PPAR ⁇ or NUCl .
- compositions containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist are to administer to the host two compositions, one containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPARy agonist and the other containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPAR ⁇ agonist.
- the pharmaceutical composition also contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of insulin, insulin derivative, insulin secretagogue, insulin sensitizer, insulin mimetic, metformin, acarbose, or sulfonyl ureas.
- a composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of insulin, insulin derivative, insulin secretagogue, insulin sensitizer, or insulin mimetic is administered to the host separately.
- a composition containing a pharmaceutically effective amount of an active ingredient may be administered systemically to a host. In a preferred embodiment, it is administered orally. Other routes of administration are described in a section entitled Pharmaceutical Formulations and Modes of Administration below.
- this invention features a pharmaceutical composition for treating Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions in a patient host wherein the composition contains (1) a pharmaceutically effective amount of a PPARy agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist; and (2) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier adapted for the host.

- the composition is held within a container which includes a label stating to the effect that the composition is approved by the FDA in the United States (or an equivalent regulatory agency in a foreign country) for treating Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease or for treating hyperglycemia , hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, high LDLc, low HDLc, high PAI-1, hypertension, obesity, or hyperfibrinogenemia.
- a container provides a therapeutically effective amount of the active ingredient to be administered to a host.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the levels of plasma triglyceride in db/db diabetic mice treated for 14 days with a PPAR ⁇ agonist (gemfibrozil) , a PPARy agonist (BRL 49653) , or the agents in combination.
- Gemfibrozil was administered at 50 mg/kg/day
- BRL 49653 was administered at 0.4 g/kg/day.
- Figure 2 (A-D) is a graph showing the distribution of triglyceride levels within the plasma lipoproteins of normal chow-fed rats treated for 14 days with a PPAR ⁇ agonist (fenofibric acid) , a PPARy agonist (thiazolidinedione compound BRL 49653) , or the agents in combination.
- Fenofibric acid was administered at 40 mg/kg/day
- BRL 49653 was administered at 5 mg/kg/day.
- T.ipid normalizing effects of fibrates occur through activation of PPAR ⁇
- Fibrates are lipid altering agents that reduce triglyceride levels in hypertriglyceridemic patients and animals, including animal models with normal or elevated levels of triglycerides.
- Administration of fenofibrate, bezafibrate or gemfibrozil to rats lowers triglyceride levels.
- Applicant has found that the lipid- lowering effects of the widely used hypolipidemic drugs, fibrates, are mediated through activation of PPAR and subsequent changes in the expression of genes involved in lipoprotein metabolism both in rodents as well as in humans (for review see Schoonjans, K. , et al. (1996) J. Lipid Res. 37: 907-925, not admitted to be prior art) .
- PPARs form heterodimers with RXR and the heterodimers bind to specific response elements, termed PPREs, in the regulatory regions of target genes and subsequently alter their transcription.
- the majority of the genes whose expression is under control of PPARs code for proteins involved in intra- and extracellular lipid metabolism, such as the enzymes of the peroxisomal and mitochondrial ⁇ -oxidation pathways 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coA synthase, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein aP2, acyl-coA synthetase and apolipoproteins A- I, A- II and C-III.
- Fibrates are PPAR ⁇ agonists.
- PPAR ⁇ is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of transcription factors.
- PPAR ⁇ binds a regulatory element identified as C3P on the promoter of the apo CIII gene, which encodes apolipoprotein CIII.
- Apolipoprotein CIII modulates triglyceride levels in plasma. Mice that genetically overexpress apo CIII have higher than normal triglyceride levels. Mice made defective in the expression of apo CIII through genetic knockout techniques have lower than normal triglyceride levels.
- Applicant's findings indicate that fibrates, such as fenofibrate, have a predominant effect on apolipoprotein gene expression in liver, but not in other tissues, such as adipose tissue.
- Applicant's data show that fibrates decrease hepatic production of apolipoprotein (apo) CIII by lowering the level of apo CIII mRNA.
- the effects of fibrates on plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) concentrations are, at least partially, due to a PPAR-mediated transcriptional regulation of the major HDL apolipoproteins, apo A-I, apo A-II and apo A- IV, in liver.
- the hypotriglyceridemic action of fibrates can be attributed to alterations in the expression of specific genes in liver, leading to an increased lipolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and clearance of remnant particles from plasma. This latter effect is at least partially mediated by apo C-III.
- fibrates have been shown to down regulate the expression of apo C-III in liver, but not in other tissues such as intestine (apo C-III) , heart (LPL) or adipose tissue (LPL) .
- Thiazolidinediones are insulin sensitizers that significantly reduce glucose and triglyceride levels in Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease patients and animal models of Type 2 diabetes (Kees, et al . , J. Medicinal Chem. 38(4) :617-628, 1995; Willson, et al . , J. Medicinal Chem. 39(3) :665-668, 1996; Young, et al . Diabetes 44:1087-1092. 1995) . Thiazolidinediones improve glucose utilization without stimulating insulin release.
- BRL 49653 to ob/ob mice improves glycemic control by increasing insulin responsiveness of target tissues.
- BRL 49653 potentiates insulin-stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes from insulin-resistant obese mice both by increasing insulin receptor number and by facilitating translocation of GLUT4 from an expanded intracellular pool to the cell surface.
- thiazolidinediones are hypolipidemic agents, decreasing plasma triglyceride concentrations both in diabetic and normal rodents, primates and humans (Kemnitz, J. W., et al. (1994) Diabetes 43: 204-211).
- Thiazolidinediones are also selective PPARy agonists (Lehmann, et al. J. Biol. Chem. 270(22) :l-4, 1995). Comparison of the EC 50 for activation of PPARy with the minimum effective dose for glucose lowering activity revealed a significant correlation.
- PPARy is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. In contrast to PPAR ⁇ , which is predominantly expressed in tissues catabolizing high amounts of fatty acids, such as liver, heart and brown adipose tissue, PPARy is predominantly expressed in white adipose tissue in rodents (Braissant, O., et al . (1995) Endocrinology 137: 354-366).
- Adipocytes are highly specialized cells that play a critical role in lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Their primary role is to store triglycerides in times of caloric excess and to mobilize this reserve during periods of nutritional deprivation.
- Adipogenesis plays a role in the development of Type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by not only unbalanced glucose homeostasis, but also elevated levels of circulating lipids. Increases in lipid levels have been shown to interfere with glucose disposal .
- Adipocyte differentiation also involves the expression of other genes such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL) whose production promotes the accumulation of triglyceride in adipocytes.
- LPL lipoprotein lipase
- the gene for adipose tissue LPL contains a response element for PPARy in its promoter. LPL activity increases in adipocytes when PPARy is expressed and activated by compounds such as thiazolidiendiones .
- Applicant evaluated the influence of a potent thiazolidinedione, BRL49653, on serum lipoproteins and determined whether its lipid-lowering effects are mediated by changes in the expression of key-genes implicated in lipoprotein metabolism.
- Treatment wi th BRL49653 decreases serum triglyceride and VLDL concentrations wi thout changing VLDL composi tion
- mice were treated for 14 days with BRL49653 at doses from 5-20 mg/kg/d. Serum lipoproteins were separated by sequential ultracentrifugation and their composition analyzed next and expressed as a relative percentage (Table 3) .
- VLDL particles isolated from rats treated with BRL49653 displayed a similar cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid and protein content both at a dose of 5 mg/kg/d as well as at doses up to 20 mg/kg/d (Table 3) .
- the relative triglyceride content of particles floating in the density interval between 1.006-1.063 decreases by 25% after BRL49653 treatment at a dose of 5 mg/kg/d and up to 50% at 20 mg/kg/d (Table 3) .
- the relative decrease in triglyceride content of the IDL+LDL particles was compensated by an enrichment in phospholipids, and, to a lesser extent, in total cholesterol (Table 3) .
- HDL triglycerides decreased after BRL49653 treatment, overall HDL composition was not significantly affected by BRL49653 treatment (Table 3) .
- BRL49653 the mechanism behind the hypotriglyceridemic effect of BRL49653 was studied.
- BRL49653 treatment affects the production of triglycerides in vivo.
- Injection with Triton WR-1339 blocks the clearance of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins by inhibiting their lipolytic degradation (Hirata, M. H., et al. (1987) BJOChimica pjophysica Ac a 917: 344-346) and thus allows an indirect measurement of triglyceride secretion rates by the measurement of serum triglycerides (Ishikawa, T. and N. Fidge (1979) J. Lipid Res. 20: 254-264).
- BRL49653 treatment increases adipose tissue LPL expression, wi thout changing liver apolipoprotein gene expression
- BRL49653 treatment did not change triglyceride production in vivo as analyzed by injection of Triton WR-1339.
- thiazolidinediones lower plasma triglycerides levels at least in part by inducing the expression of LPL in adipose tissue which increases the removal of triglyceride from plasma.
- thiazolidinediones may influence protein phosphorylation activities as well as cellular Ca -uptake, it is likely that most, if not all, of their actions at the molecular level are mediated via activation of the transcription factor PPAR ⁇ /RXR heterodimer. More specifically, BRL49653 has been shown to be a high-affinity synthetic ligand for PPARY.
- PPAR ⁇ 2 furthermore regulates the expression of adipose genes, such as the aP2 and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) genes via a PPRE in its promoter.
- adipose genes such as the aP2 and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) genes via a PPRE in its promoter.
- PEPCK phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
- BRL49653 has no effect on liver apo C- III mRNA levels, nor on the expression of the ACO gene, whose regulation is under strict control of PPAR ⁇ (Lee, S. S. T., et al. (1995 Molecular Cellular Biology 15: 3012-3022).
- BRL49653 Since in rodents serum cholesterol is transported mainly in the HDL fraction, the unchanged serum cholesterol levels after BRL49653 can be explained by the unaltered expression of its major apolipoproteins, apo A- I, apo A- II or apo A- IV, in rat liver. Again, these effects of BRL49653 are in contrast to those of fibrates, which have important effects on the expression of these genes in liver (staels, B., et al . (1990) Endocrinology 126: 2153-2163;
- Applicant's data show that treatment with the thiazolidinedione BRL49653 decreases serum triglyceride concentrations by enhancing serum triglyceride removal.
- BRL49653 treatment increased lipolysis of triglycerides in plasma lipoproteins, leading to an accelerated conversion into IDL and LDL particles.
- Enhanced lipolysis after BRL49653 is linked to the induction of LPL expression in adipose tissue.
- BRL49653 activates PPARy while fibrates primarily activate the PPAR ⁇ isofor and regulate apo C-III and HDL apolipoprotein gene expression in liver.
- Pharmacologic agents that lower plasma glucose, insulin, triglyceride, uric acid, and fibrinogen levels, blood pressure or body weight would reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- pharmacologic agents that raise HDLc levels and reduce the appearance of small dense LDLc in plasma would decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- the rat was used to demonstrate the activities of triglyceride-lowering compounds by monitoring the levels of plasma triglycerides and the distribution of triglycerides in lipoproteins particles such as Very Low Density Lipoproteins
- VLDL VLDL
- db/db mice The db/db mouse was employed as a model of Type 2 diabetes. This animal has a genetic defect in the cellular receptor for the hormone leptin. Like human diabetic patients, db/db mice show elevated levels of glucose and triglycerides. Db/db mice respond to antidiabetic agents such as thiazolidinediones.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the levels of plasma triglyceride in db/db diabetic mice treated for 14 days with a PPAR ⁇ agonist (gemfibrozil) , a PPAR ⁇ agonist (BRL 49653) , or the agents in combination.
- Total plasma triglyceride levels were determined on the days indicated.
- the same doses administered in combination showed significant triglyceride lowering effects.
- a PPAR ⁇ agonist and a PPARy agonist can be synergistic, thus allowing for lower therapeutic doses of each compound for improved safety and cost profiles.
- the level of triglyceride can be lowered to an extent greater than with either compound alone.
- Such synergistic effects can also be used to lower elevated levels of insulin, fibrinogen, PAI-1, and LDL, etc.
- Figure 2 is a graph showing the distribution of triglyceride levels within the plasma lipoproteins of normal chow-fed rats treated for 14 days with a PPAR ⁇ agonist (fenofibric acid) , a PPARy agonist (thiazolidinedione compound BRL 49653) , or the agents in combination.
- Lipoproteins were isolated from rat plasma by ultracentrifugation, and separated according to hydrated radius on an agarose gel column. Triglyceride levels were determined on column fractions.
- the combination of agents showed enhanced triglyceride lowering activity (Figure 2D) .
- BRL 49653 was administered at 10 mg/kg/day, which is higher than its maximum effect dose for this model.
- Fenofibrate was administered at 40 mg/kg/day, which is at least equal to its maximum effect dose in this model .
- the combination of both agents at maximum effect doses showed enhanced activity over that of either agent alone.
- a pharmaceutical composition containing effective amounts of a PPAR ⁇ agonist and a PPAR ⁇ agonist may be utilized in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease with diabetic or pre-diabetic conditions.
- PPAR ⁇ agonists act as insulin sensitizers or insulin mimetics to lower plasma levels of glucose, insulin and triglycerides while PPAR ⁇ agonists normalize lipid and coagulation factor metabolism by elevating plasma levels of HDLc, and lowering plasma levels of triglycerides, small dense LDL, fibrinogen, and PAI-1.
- mice Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to treatment groups and treated daily intragastrically for the indicated periods of time with BRL49653 and/or fenofibrate suspended in 1% carboxymethylcellulose at the indicated doses. Control animals received an equal volume (5 ml/kg/d) of carboxymethylcellulose solution. At the end of the experiments animals were weighed and sacrificed by exsanguination while under ether anesthesia. Blood was collected and serum was separated and used within 1 week for analysis of lipids, lipoproteins and apolipoproteins . Liver and epididymal fat pads were removed immediately, weighed and frozen in liquid nitrogen.
- mice Female diabetic C57BLKS/J-m+/+db mice (47 days old at commencement of study) were dosed with vehicle (0.9% carboxymethyl cellulose, 9.95% polyethylene glycol and 0.05% Tween 80), or drugs (as indicated) with 0.6 ml per 42 g, by gavage once a day. Blood was drawn after a 3 hour fast on days indicated.
- Serum glucose and lipoprotein lipid concentrations were measured colorimetrically using enzymatic test kits from Boehringer Mannheim (Mannheim, Germany) .
- Serum HDL cholesterol content was determined after precipitation of apo B-containing lipoproteins with phosphotungstic acid/Mg (Boehringer Mannheim) .
- Serum levels of rat apo A- I and apo A- II were measured by an immunonephelometric assay using specific polyclonal antibodies.
- Plasma insulin was measured by Linco insulin radioimmunoassay against rat insulin antibody (Linco Research, St . Louis MO) .
- each lipoprotein fraction was determined by the method of Lowry et al . (1951 J. Biol. Chem. 193: 265-275.
- FPLC fast protein liquid chromatography
- 300 ⁇ g of serum lipoprotein protein (d ⁇ 1.21 g/ml) isolated from individual rats was injected on a Sepharose 6HR 10/30 prepacked column (Pharmacia, Uppsala, Sweden) and eluted at a constant flow rate of 0.2 ml/min with PBS pH 7.2.
- the effluent was monitored at 280 nm, collected in 0.3 ml fractions and cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations determined in 0.1 ml of each fraction.
- the distribution of lipoproteins in serum from individual rats was analyzed by non-denaturing discontinuous gradient polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Lipofilm kit, Sebia, Issy-les-Moulineaux, France) . Briefly, 5 ⁇ l of Sudan Black prestained samples were electrophoresed at 10°C for 45 min at a constant voltage of 170V in a Tris-barbital buffer, pH 8.3. The wet gels were immediately scanned using the Biorad Gel-Doc 1000 system.
- the apolipoprotein composition of isolated lipoproteins was analyzed by non-reducing SDS-PAGE as described (Tailleux, A., et al . (1993) J. Lipid Res. 34: 719- 728) .
- Protein samples (15 ⁇ g) were heat-denatured and loaded on 3-19% gels, separated by electrophoresis at 150V for 45 min and visualized by Coomassie brilliant blue staining.
- the distribution of the apo C-II and apo C-III subspecies was analyzed by isoelectric focusing gel electrophoresis.
- VLDL proteins 200 ⁇ g
- LPL was measured in extracts from epididymal adipose tissue according to the procedure of Ramirez, I., et al . (1985) Biochem. J. 232: 229-236.
- One unit of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of enzyme which releases 1 ⁇ mole oleate/min at 25°C.
- Rat apo A-I, apo A- II, apo A- IV, apo C-III and human LPL cDNA clones were used as probes (Staels, B., et al .
- the particular compounds that affect the disorders or conditions of interest can be administered to a patient either by themselves, or in pharmaceutical compositions where they are mixed with suitable carriers or excipient(s) .
- a therapeutically effective amount of a agent or agents such as these is administered.
- a therapeutically effective dose refers to that amount of the compound that results in amelioration of symptoms or a prolongation of survival in a patient.
- the compounds also can be prepared as pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
- pharmaceutically acceptable salts include acid addition salts such as those containing hydrochlo ide , sulfate, phosphate, sulfamate, acetate, citrate, lactate, tartrate, methanesulfonate, ethanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p- toluenesulfonate, cyclohexylsulfamate and quinate. ( See e . g. , PCT/US92/03736) .
- Such salts can be derived using acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, sulfamic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, tartaric acid, malonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, benzenesulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, cyclohexylsulfamic acid, and quinic acid.
- Pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be prepared by standard techniques. For example, the free base form of the compound is first dissolved in a suitable solvent such as an aqueous or aqueous-alcohol solution, containing the appropriate acid. The salt is then isolated by evaporating the solution. In another example, the salt is prepared by reacting the free base and acid in an organic solvent.
- Carriers or excipients can be used to facilitate administration of the compound, for example, to increase the solubility of the compound.
- carriers and excipients include calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, various sugars or types of starch, cellulose derivatives, gelatin, vegetable oils, polyethylene glycols and physiologically compatible solvents.
- Toxicity and therapeutic efficacy of such compounds can be determined by standard pharmaceutical procedures in cell cultures or experimental animals, e.g.. for determining the LD 50 (the dose lethal to 50% of the population) and the ED 50 (the dose therapeutically effective in 50% of the population) .
- the dose ratio between toxic and therapeutic effects is the therapeutic index and it can be expressed as the ratio
- LD 50 /ED 50 Compounds which exhibit large therapeutic indices are preferred.
- the data obtained from these cell culture assays and animal studies can be used in formulating a range of dosage for use in human.
- the dosage of such compounds lies preferably within a range of circulating concentrations that include the ED 50 with little or no toxicity.
- the dosage may vary within this range depending upon the dosage form employed and the route of administration utilized. Levels in plasma may be measured, for example, by HPLC.
- the exact formulation, route of administration and dosage can be chosen by the individual physician in view of the patient's condition. (See e.g. Fingl et al., in The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics. 1975, Ch. 1 p. 1) . It should be noted that the attending physician would know how to and when to terminate, interrupt, or adjust administration due to toxicity, or to organ dysfunctions. Conversely, the attending physician would also know to adjust treatment to higher levels if the clinical response were not adequate (precluding toxicity) .
- the magnitude of an administrated dose in the management of the disorder of interest will vary with the severity of the condition to be treated and to the route of administration. The severity of the condition may, for example, be evaluated, in part, by standard prognostic evaluation methods. Further, the dose and perhaps dose frequency, will also vary according to the age, body weight, and response of the individual patient. A program comparable to that discussed above may be used in veterinary medicine.
- Suitable routes may include oral, rectal, transdermal, vaginal, transmucosal, or intestinal administration; parenteral delivery, including intramuscular, subcutaneous, intramedullary injections, as well as intrathecal, direct intraventricular, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intranasal, or intraocular injections, just to name a few.

- Agents intended to be administered intracellularly may be administered using techniques well known to those of ordinary skill in the art. For example, such agents may be encapsulated into liposomes, then administered as described above. Liposomes are spherical lipid bilayers with aqueous interiors. All molecules present in an aqueous solution at the time of liposome formation are incorporated into the aqueous interior. The liposomal contents are both protected from the external microenvironment and, because liposomes fuse with cell membranes, are efficiently delivered into the cell cytoplasm. Additionally, due to their hydrophobicity, small organic molecules may be directly administered intracellularly.
