Said compound is useful in the preparation of a drug intended for use in the treatment of Alzheimer-type senility and pre-Alzheimer syndrome and the prevention of the progression of these diseases.

Description

~o 94/1~603 ~ 1 5 3 3 q 9 PCT/FR94/00014 UTILISATION DE L'IDAZOXAN ET SES DERIVES POUR LE TRAITEMENT DE DEMENCE
SENILE DU TYPE A U HEIMER.

La présente illvellLion a pour objet l'lltilis~tion de l'i~7.c~n et de ses dérivés pour obtenir un médicament neuro-protecteur, destiné au traitement 6 de démence sénile du type ~l7heimer et du syndrome pré ~17h~imer ainsi que leur ~ l ession.
La maladie d'Alzheimer est une maladie neurodégénérative progressive affectant particulièrement mais non e~clusivement le système çholin~rgique central (Nucleus basalis de Meynert) se traduisant par une perte des facultés cognitives, une perte des capacités intellect~lelles, des troubles du comportement et de la personnalité.
Il n'e~iste pas actuellement de traitement satisfaisant ni pour le traitement des symptômes, ni pour ralentir sa progression. Le diagnostic de la maladie est difficile, et c'est en particulier l'analyse anatomo-histologique pratiquée post mortem par, entre autres, la mise en évidence de plaques séniles e2~traneuronales et d'ench~v~ ents neurofibrillaires intraneuronaux, qui peut permettre de diagnostiquer sans ambiguité la m~ lie d'~l7.heimer. Lui sont associées également une perte de corps cellulaires et une déplétion de ne~ lsmetteurs, en particulier l'acétylcholine.
Il est connu que l'irl~7.o~n 2-(1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl)-2-imidazoline possède des propriétés antagonistes sur les récepteurs ct2-adrénergiques. Ce composé est décrit dans le brevet EP-0 033 655 ainsi que son application thérapeutique en tant que médicament antidépresseur.
D'autres dérivés de l'i-1~7o~n sont également décrit dans EP-0 092 328 et GB-2 092 139.
L'irl~7.0~P.n a également été étudié en clinique humaine dans le traitement de la dépression à des doses variant de 5 à
40 mg,3 fois par jour sur 4 semaines et a montré une amélioration significative sur l'échelle de Hamilton contre placebo (Drug of the Future 10, N 9,782 (1985)).
La présente invention concerne l'utilisation de l'idazoxan et ses dérivés pour la préparation d'un médicament destiné au traitement de démence sénile du type Alzheimer et du syndrome pré-~17heimer ainsi que leur progres-sion.

SENILE OF THE HEIMER TYPE.

The present illvellLion relates to the use of the ~ 7.c ~ n and its derivatives to obtain a neuroprotective drug, intended for treatment 6 of senile dementia of the type ~ l7heimer and of the syndrome pre ~ 17h ~ imer as well as their ~ l ession.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease progressive particularly but not exclusively affecting the system çholin ~ rgique central (Nucleus basalis de Meynert) resulting in a loss cognitive faculties, loss of intellectual capacity, impaired behavior and personality.
There is currently no satisfactory treatment either for the treatment of symptoms, nor to slow its progression. The diagnosis of disease is difficult, and this is particularly the anatomo-histological analysis practiced post mortem by, among other things, the identification of plaques senile e2 ~ traneuronales and intraneuronal neurofibrillary auctions, which can be used to make an unambiguous diagnosis of ~ l7.heimer's disease. Him cell loss and depletion of do ~ lsmitters, especially acetylcholine.
It is known that ir ~ 7.o ~ n 2- (1,4-benzodioxan-2-yl) -2-imidazoline has antagonistic properties on ct2-adrenergic receptors. This compound is described in patent EP-0 033 655 as well as its application therapeutic as an antidepressant drug.
Other derivatives of i-1 ~ 7o ~ n are also described in EP-0 092 328 and GB-2,092,139.
Irl ~ 7.0 ~ Pn has also been studied in human clinics in the treatment of depression at doses varying from 5 to 40 mg, 3 times daily for 4 weeks and showed significant improvement on the Hamilton scale versus placebo (Drug of the Future 10, N 9,782 (1985)).
The present invention relates to the use of idazoxan and its derivatives for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of dementia senile Alzheimer's type and pre- 17heimer syndrome and their progress if we.

1. ETUDE PHARMACOLOGIQUE

Une étude pharm~Mloeique a mis en évidence le rôle neuroprotec-teur de l'i-1~70~n après une lésion du système noradrénergique et une lésion ne~u- kJxique du sy~è~e cholinergique.
La destruction du système cholinergique a été provoquée chez le rat par injection stéréotaxique bilatérale de l'acide iboténique dans le noyau de base de Meynert (nbM).

Quatre groupes d'~nim~ ont été constitués.
Groupe A: représente le groupe de rats non traités Groupe B: l'ir1~7~qn a été atimini~tré à des rats témoin~.

Groupe C: les rats subissent une lésion du système noradrénergique ainsi qu'une injection stéréotaxique bilatérale avec l'acide iboténique dans le nbM et représente le groupe de rat ayant une déficience du système noradrénergique et cholinergique (groupP-p~t~loloEique).
GrouPe D: les rats sont traités comme pour le groupe C et l'i~70~n a été ~lminictré

Il est ainsi montré que le traitement par l'irl~:o~n atténue la perte de performance mnésique qui avait été induite par la lésion des systèmes noradrénergiques et cholinergiques (groupe D par rapport au 30 groupe C).

1. PHARMACOLOGICAL STUDY

A pharm ~ Mloeique study has highlighted the neuroprotective role i-1 ~ 70 ~ n after an injury to the noradrenergic system and a ne ~ u- kJxique lesion of the cholinergic sy ~ è ~ e.
The destruction of the cholinergic system was caused in the rat by bilateral stereotaxic injection of ibotenic acid into the nucleus Meynert base (nbM).

Four groups of ~ nim ~ were formed.
Group A: represents the group of untreated rats Group B: ir1 ~ 7 ~ sn was atimini ~ tré to control rats ~.

Group C: Rats suffer damage to the noradrenergic system as well as a bilateral stereotaxic injection with the acid ibotenic in nbM and represents the group of rats having a deficiency in the noradrenergic and cholinergic system (groupP-p ~ t ~ loloEique).
