Description
AN ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE INHIBITOR
The present invention relates to a combination of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and an inverse agonist of the GABAA as receptor subtype, and the use of the combination in treating neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's Disease.
Alzheimer's Disease is a poorly understood neurodegenerative condition mainly affecting the elderly but also younger people who are generally genetically predispositioned to it.
One postulated method of treatment comprises the administration of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors which act on the cholinergic system.
However this method suffers from the disadvantages that these compounds induce a range of side-effects including diarrhoea, salivation and nausea.
The present invention provides a new and surprisingly effective synergistic combination of an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor and an inverse agonist of the GABAa as receptor subtype for separate, sequential or simultaneous administration.
The present invention provides a greater than expected improvement in the condition of subjects suffering from a neurodegenerative with an associated cognitive deficit, such as Alzheimer's Disease or Parkinson's disease, or from a cognitive deficit which may arise from a normal process such as aging or from an abnormal process such as injury, than would be expected from administration of the active ingredients alone. Further, the combination allows for a lower overall dose of each of the active ingredients to be administered thus reducing side effects and decreasing any reduction in the effectiveness of each of the active ingredients over time.
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors which may be used include any which are known to the skilled person. Examples are physostigmine, neostigmine, edrophonium and its chloride, pyridostigmine and its bromide, eptastigmine,and its tartrate, galanthamine and its hydrochloride and hydrobromide, metrifonate, tacrine and its hydrochloride, eseridine and its salicylate, suronacrine and its maleate, velnacrine and its maleate, amiridine and its hydrochloride, 7-methoxytacrine, SM-10888 and its citrate, phenserine and its tartrate, ENA-713, donepezil and its hydrochloride, TAK-147, CP-118954, huperzine A and zifrosiione.
Any inverse agonist of the GABAA as receptor subtype may be used which fulfills the criteria of WO-A-9625948. The inverse agonist may be either binding selective for the a5 subtype or functionally selective, or both. Thus the inverse agonist is preferably an antagonist, or has insignificant agonist or inverse agonist properties at the other GABAA a receptor subtypes when measured in oocytes as described in WO-A-9625948.
Thus the inverse agonist preferably has a functional efficacy at the as receptor subunit of less than -20% and functional efficacies at the al, a2, and as receptor subunits of between -20 and +20%. By functional efficacy is meant the percentage modulation of the ECZO response produced by GABA, upon coadministration of the inverse agonist, in oocytes expressing GABAn receptor channels containing the a receptor subunit under test. Details of this measurement are given in WO-A-9625948.
The inverse agonist preferably binds selectively to GABAA receptors containing the as subunit 10, 25 and particularly 50 times compared to GABAA receptors subunits containing the al, a2 or as subunits. Preferably this binding selectivity is shown over all these subunits.
A preferred class of inverse agonists, which are disclosed in WO-A-9850385, are of formula I:

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are preferably in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, transdermal patches, auto-injector devices or suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation. For I5 preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical carrier, e.g. conventional tableting ingredients such as corn starch, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, dicalcium phosphate or gums or surfactants such as sorbitan monooleate, polyethylene glycol, and other pharmaceutical diluents, e.g. water, to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, it is meant that the active ingredient is dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition may be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules.
This solid preformulation composition is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from 0.1 to about 500 mg of each active ingredient of the present invention. Typical unit dosage forms contain from 1 to 100 mg, for example 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 mg, of each active ingredient. The tablets or pills of the novel composition can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permits the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol and cellulose acetate.
The liquid forms in which the novel compositions of the present invention may be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavoured syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavoured emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles. Suitable dispersing or suspending agents for aqueous suspensions include synthetic and natural gums such as tragacanth, acacia, alginate, dextran, sodium car boxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone or gelatin.
For the treatment of a neurodegenerative condition, a suitable dosage level is about 0.01 to 250 mg/kg per day, preferably about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg per day, and especially about 0.01 to 5 mg/kg of body weight per day of each active ingredient. The compounds may be administered on a regimen of 1 to 4 times per day. In some cases, however, dosage outside these limits may be used.
The synergistic effect of the combination of the present invention can be shown, for example, by comparing the combined dosage of the combination with dosages of the same amount of each of the active ingredients separately on subjects using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) as described in Folstein and Folstein J. Psychiat.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are preferably in unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills, capsules, powders, granules, sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions, metered aerosol or liquid sprays, drops, ampoules, transdermal patches, auto-injector devices or suppositories; for oral, parenteral, intranasal, sublingual or rectal administration, or for administration by inhalation or insufflation.
