"Compositions of Platelet Activating Factor Antagonists and Methods of Treating Interleukin-2 Induced Lung Injury Therewith"
This invention relates to a method of treating interleukin-2 induced lung injury in a mammal, including a human, in need thereof which comprises administering to such mammal an effective amount of a platelet-activating factor antagonist.
Background of the Invention
Human recombinant Interleukin-2 (IL-2) has been shown to mediate tumor regression in animals
(Ettinghausen, S.E. et al. Cancer Res. 46:2784-2792
(1987)) and Humans (Rosenberg, S.A. et al. N. Eng. J.
Med. 313:1485 (1985)) and is currently under
investigation as a new treatment modality for patients with advanced metastatic cancer (Rosenberg, S.A. et al. N. Eng. J. Med. 316:889 (1987)). The systemic use of IL-2 has, however, also been associated with disorders such as, microvascular injury and pulmonary adema (Clausner, F.L. et al. J. Appl.
Physiol. 64:1030-1037 (1988) and Rosenstein, M. J.
Immunol. 137:1735-1742 (1986)) (hereinafter "lung
injury"). The acute pulmonary toxicity associated with IL-2 infusion has been proposed to result from
Lymphocyte activation (Anderson, T.D. et al. Lab.
Invest. 59:598-612 (1988), Damle, N.K. et al. J. Immunol. 142:2660-2659 (1989) and Damle, U.K. et al. J. Immunol. 138:1779-1785 (1987)), the production of
inflammatory mediators such as interleukin-1 (IL-1)
Numerof, R.P. et al. J. Immunol 141:4250-4257 (1988)) or tumor Necrosis Factor-α (Helsop, H.E. et al. Blood
74: 1374-1380 (1989) and Nedwin, G.E. et al. J. Immunol. 135:2492-2496 (1985) and from the IL-2 induced
activation of Humoral systems such as the complement cascade (Thijs, L.G. J. Immunol. 144:2419-2424 (1990)). The actual mechanism(s) of IL-2-induced lung injury is presently unknown.
PAF (platelet activating factor) is phospholipid acetyl-glyceryl-ether-phosphoryl-choline (AGEPC) which is known as a potent lipid mediator released by animal and human proinflammatory cells. These cells include mainly basophilic and neutrophilic granulocytes,
macrophages (from blood and tissue) and thrombocytes which are involved in inflammatory reactions.
Compounds which inhibit PAF are reported to be of potential value in the treatment, of a variety of conditions including allergic, inflammatory and hypersecretory
conditions such as asthma, arthritis, rhinitis, bronchitis and urticaria, the treatment of circulatory shock, gastric, ulceration, psoriasis and cardiovascular conditions, including angina, thrombosis and stroke, (WO 91/17162 published November 14, 1991).
Presently, PAF inhibitors are not known as having utility in treating IL-2-induced lung injuries. Summary of the Invention
This invention relates to a method of treating interleukin-2 induced lung injury in a mammal, including a human, in need thereof which comprises administering to such mammal an. effective amount of a platelet-activating factor antagonist.
Detailed Description of the Invention Illustrative of compounds that have PAF activity are the following comopunds
A)
which is 5-[(2-Chlorophenyl)-3,4-dihydro-10-methyl-3-[(4-morpholinyl) carbonyl]-2H,7H-cyclopenta[4,5] thieno [3,2-f] [1,2,4] triazolo[4,3-a] [1, 4]diazepine. This compound is disclosed and claimed in European Application No. 254245-A published January 27, 1988, as having platelet-activating factor antagonist activity.
B)
which is 3-[4-(2-chlorophenyl)-9-methyl-6H-thieno [3,2-f] [1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a] [1,4]-diazepin-2-yl]-1-(4-morpholinyl)-1-propanon and which is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4968794 as having platelet-activating factor antagonist activity.
C)
which is tetrahydro-4,7,8,10 methyl-(chloro-2phenyl) -6 [ (dimethoxy-3, 4phenyl) thio] methylthiocarbonyl-9 pyrido [4',3'-4,5] thieno [3,2-f]triazolo-1,2,4[4,3-a] diazepine-1,4 (hereinafter compound C) and which is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,049,559 as a specific platelet-activating factor antagonist.
D)
which is (+) N-(3-benzoylphenyl) 3-(3 pyridyl)-1H, 3H pyrrolo [1,2-c] thiazole-7 carboxamide and which is disclosed and claimed in U.S. Patent 4,783,472 as having platelet-activating factor antagonist activity.
By the term "treating" as used herein is meant prophylactic or therapeutic therapy.
By the term "U" as used herein is meant a unit of IL-2 activity as specified by the manufacturer (i.e. Hoffman-La Rocke, Nutley, NJ).
It has now been discovered that compounds which are antagonists of platelet-activating factor are useful in treating interleukin-2 (IL-2) induced lung injury.
Compound C was tested for its in vivo potency in treating IL-2 induced lung injury. To perform the experiments recombinant human IL-2 (obtained from
Hoffman-La Roche, Nutley, NJ) was reconstituted before use with 1 ml of 0.9% NaCl per 106U IL-2. A 105 U dose of IL-2 was prepared by diluting the above 106 U dose 10 times. Compound C was solubilized in 64% DMSO, in 0.9% NaCl to reach a concentration of 5 mg/ml. Male SpragueDawley Rats (obtained from Charles River, Wilmington, MA) were housed in groups of three in standard cages, and kept with food and water ad libitum in a
temperature controlled room (22°C) on a 12 hour
dark/light cycle, until surgery.
Following anesthesia with pentobarbital (30 mg/kg, i.p.) the animals were randomly assorted into three groups.
Group I. IL-2 at 105 U/kg (n=14) (as used herein the term "n" means the number of rats),
106 U/kg (n=18) or vehicle (n=12) was infused intravenously for one hour
(syringe infusion pump 22, Harvard apparatus, South Natick, MA).
Group II. IL-2 at 106 U/kg was administered by
bolus injection followed by IL-2 at 106 U/kg intravenous injection for one hour (n=6), vehicle treated animals served as controls (n=6).
Group III. IL-2 at 106 U/kg was administered by intravenous injection for 1 hour, 30 minutes after pretreatment with compound C (10 mg/kg, I.P.) (n=6) or compound C vehicle (n=6).
At the end of the experimental period the left lung was removed and immediately frozen on dry ice until assayed. When defrosted the lung was weighed to
determine wet weight. Dry weight was determined after the lung was dried at 80°C for 36 hours, and the
pulmonary water content was calculated by subtracting the lung dry weight from the wet lung weight.
The wet (485 ±4 mg), dry (92 ±4 mg) and wet-dry (pulmonary water content, 393 ±4 mg) lung weight did not differ among the control (vehicle treated) groups. IL-2 increased wet (P< 0.05), dry and wet-dry (P<0.01) lung weight in a dose-dependent manner. The wet-dry/dry ratio however remained unchanged. Pretreatment with compound C prevented the responses (P<0.05).
The results of the above experiments clearly demonstrates the therapeutic utility of platelet-activating factor antagonist on treating IL-2 induced lung injury.
This invention discloses platelet-activating factor antagonist and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or hydrates or solvates thereof as being useful for treating IL-2 induced lung injury in mammals, including humans.
A platelet-activating factor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate or solvate thereof can be administered to a subject in a
conventional dosage form prepared by combining a platelet-activating factor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate or solvate thereof, with a conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent according to known techniques.
It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that the form and character of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent is dictated by the amount of active ingredient with which it is to be combined, the route of administration and other well-known
variables. A platelet-activating factor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate or solvate thereof is administered to a mammal, including a human, in an amount sufficient to prevent or alleviate IL-2 induced lung injury.
The route of administration of the platelet-activating factor antagonist is not critical but is usually oral or parenteral, perferably oral.
The term parenteral as used herein includes
intravenous, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intranasal, intrarectal, transdermal, intravaginal or
intraperitoneal administration. The subcutaneous and intramuscular forms of parenteral administration are generally preferred. The daily parenteral dosage regimen will preferably be from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of total body weight, most preferably, from about 0.1 mg/kg to about 5 mg/kg. Preferably, each parenteral dosage unit will contain the active
ingredient in an amount of from about 2 mg to about 150 mg.
The platelet-activating factor antagonist which are active when given orally can be formulated as liquids, for example, syrups, suspensions or emulsions, tablets, capsules and lozenges.
A liquid formulation will generally consist of a suspension or solution of the compound or
pharmaceutically acceptable salt in a suitable liquid carrier (s) for example, ethanol, glycerine, non-aqueous solvent, for example polyethylene glycol, oils, or water with a suspending agent, preservative, flavoring or coloring agent.
A composition in the form of a tablet can be prepared using any suitable pharmaceutical carrier (s) routinely used for preparing solid formulations .
Examples of such carriers include magnesium stearate, starch, lactose, sucrose and cellulose.
A composition in the form of a capsule can be prepared using routine encapsulation procedures. For example, pellets containing the active ingredient can be prepared using standard carriers and then filled into a hard gelatin capsule; alternatively, a dispersion or suspension can be prepared using any suitable
pharmaceutical carrier (s), for example aqueous gums;
celluloses, silicates or oils and the dispersion or suspension then filled into a soft gelatin capsule.
The daily oral dosage regimen will preferably be from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 20 mg/kg of total body weight. Preferably each oral dosage unit will contain the active ingredient in an amount of from about 2 mg to about 150 mg.
While it is possible for an activate ingredient to be administered alone, it is preferable to present it as a pharmaceutical formulation.
It will be recognized by one of skill in the art that the optimal quantity and spacing of individual dosages of a platelet-activating factor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate or solvate thereof will be determined by the nature and extent of the exact condition being treated, the form, route and site of administration, and the particular patient being treated, and that such optimums can be determined by conventional techniques. It will also be appreciated by one of skill in the art that the optimal course of treatment, i.w., the number of doses of a platelet- activating factor antagonist or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or hydrate or solvate thereof given per day and duration of therapy, can be ascertained by those skilled in the art using conventional course of
treatment determination tests.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding
description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following examples are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative and not a
limitation of the scope of the present invention in any way.
