Abstract

The invention concerns the association of the CB1 receptor antagonist and a sibutramin, pharmaceutical compositions containing same and use thereof for treating obesity.

Description

COMBINATION OF A CB1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST AND OF SIBUTRAMINE. THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THEM AND THEIR USE IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY The present invention relates to the combination of a CB1 receptor antagonist and of sibutramine, to the pharmaceutical compositions comprising them and to their use in the treatment of obesity.
CB1 receptor antagonists are known for their effect on food intake and their use as anorexigenic Colombo et al., Life Sciences, 63 113-117 (1998); J. Siamand et al., Behavioural Pharmacol., 9, 179-181 (1998)).
Sibutramine (BTS 54524; -(4-chlorophenyl)cyclobutyl]-3methylbutyl}-N,N-dimethylamine; Meridia®, Reductil®), its hydrate and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and in particular its hydrochloride reduces food intake and is of use in the treatment of obesity (WO 90/061110; D. H. Ryan et al., Obesity Research, 3 553 (1995); H. C. Jackson et al., British Journal of Pharmacology, 121, 1758 (1997); G. Fanghanel et al., Inter. J. Obes., 24 144 (2000); G. A. Bray et al., Obes. Res., 7 189 (1999)).
It has now been found that the combination of sibutramine, its hydrate and its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and of a CB1 receptor antagonist exhibits a synergistic effect in reducing food consumption and is thus of use in the treatment of obesity.
The combination can also comprise several CB1 receptor antagonists.
Use may in particular be made, among CB1 antagonists, of the azetidine derivatives disclosed in WO 00/15609, WO 01/64633 and WO 01/64634 of formula:

Other CB1 antagonists of use in the combinations according to the invention are, for example, the pyrazole derivatives disclosed in EP 576 357, EP 658 546, EP 656 354, WO 97/19063 and WO 00/46209, the benzothiophene and benzofuran derivatives disclosed in WO 96/02248 or the arylsulfonamides disclosed in WO 98/37061. Mention may in particular be made of the products known under the code SR141716 and LY320135.
The synergistic effect of the combination of sibutramine and of a CB1 antagonist on food intake was determined according to the following protocol: Obese Fa/fa Zucker rats aged 7 weeks and originating from Iffa-Credo, France, were used in this study. The rats are housed in individual cages and weighed every day between 8 and 10 o'clock in the morning. The amount of food is also weighed each morning at the same time. This food (M20, Pietrement, France) is changed every day and the rats have free access thereto for 24 hours.
All the rats are treated for a week with the vehicle (miglyol 812N and methylcellulose/0.2% polysorbate 80) in two consecutive administrations. The rats are treated from the 8th day with the vehicle, the CB1 antagonist (1-[bis(4chlorophenyl)methyl]-3-[(3,5-difluorophenyl)-(methylsulfonyl)methylene]azetidine) or sibutramine by the oral route (see table below).
The sibutramine is dissolved in a 0.5% methylcellulose/0.2% polysorbate solution and administered at a dose of 3 mg/kg; the CB1 antagonist is dissolved in miglyol 812N (Huls, Germany) at a dose of 0.6 mg/kg and the two products are administered under a volume of 1 ml/kg. Each group is composed of 12 to 14 animals. The following groups are formed and the animals are treated for five days at the rate of two consecutive administrations every day.
GROUP First administration Second administration 1 miglyol 0.5% methylcellulose/ "vehicle group" 0.2%polysorbate 2 miglyol sibutramine 3 mg/kg "sibutramine group" 3 CB1 antagonist 0.5% methylcellulose/ "CB1 Antagonist group" 0.6 mg/kg 0.2% polysorbate 4 CB1 antagonist sibutramine 3 mg/kg "combination group" 0.6 mg/kg The food consumption of each animal is measured every day. The results are expressed as mean amount of food consumed during the 5 days of treatment.
The results obtained are given in the table below.

29 The compounds of the combination can be employed orally, parenterally, transdermally or rectally, either simultaneously or separately or spread out over time.
The present invention also relates to the pharmaceutical compositions comprising the combination of sibutramine, its hydrate or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts and of a CB1 receptor antagonist in the pure state or with one or more compatible and pharmacologically acceptable diluents and/or adjuvants and/or optionally in combination with another pharmaceutically compatible and physiologically active product for a use which is either simultaneous or separate or spread out over time.
Use may be made, as solid compositions for oral administration, of tablets, pills, powders (hard gelatin capsules, cachets) or granules. In these compositions, the active principles are mixed with one or more inert diluents, such as starch, cellulose, sucrose, lactose or silica, under an argon stream.
These compositions can also comprise substances other than the diluents, for example one or more lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc, a colorant, a coating (drag~es) or a glaze.
Use may be made, as liquid compositions for oral administration, of pharmaceutically acceptable solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs comprising inert diluents, such as water, ethanol, glycerol, vegetable oils or liquid paraffin. These compositions can comprise substances other than the diluents, for example wetting, sweetening, thickening, flavouring or stabilizing products.
The sterile compositions for parenteral administration can preferably be solutions in aqueous or nonaqueous form, suspensions or emulsions. Use may be made, as solvent or vehicle, of water, propylene glycol, a polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, in particular olive oil, injectable organic esters, for example ethyl oleate, or other suitable organic solvents. These compositions can also comprise adjuvants, in particular wetting, isotonizing, emulsifying, dispersing and stabilizing agents.
Sterilization can be carried out in several ways, for example by aseptic filtration, by incorporating sterilizing agents in the composition, by irradiation or by heating. They can also be prepared in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved at the time of use in sterile water or any other injectable sterile medium.
The compositions for rectal administration are suppositories or rectal capsules which comprise, in addition to the active product, excipients such as cocoa butter, semisynthetic glycerides or polyethylene glycols.
The pharmaceutical compositions generally comprise 0.5 to 10 mg of sibutramine and 0.1 to 200 mg of the CB1 antagonist.
The present invention also relates to the method for the treatment of obesity which consists in administering, to the patient, a combination according to the invention either simultaneously or separately or spread out over time.
The doses depend on the desired effect, on the duration of treatment and on the administration route used; they are generally from 1 to 15 mg of sibutramine per day by the oral route for an adult and from 0.10 to 500 mg of the CB1 antagonist per day by the oral route for an adult.
Generally, the doctor will determine the appropriate dosage according to the age, weight and any other factor specific to the subject to be treated.
Comprises/comprising and grammatical variations thereof when used in this specification are to be taken to specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps or components or groups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, components or groups thereof.
