Definitions

  • the present invention relates to binding partners for 5-HT5 receptors, methods for identifying and characterizing such binding partners, and pharmaceutical compositions containing them and their use for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases such as migraines.
  • At least seven different receptor classes mediate the diverse physiological activities that are ascribed to the involvement of the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT for short). According to an internationally recognized classification, they are designated 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5-HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT5, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7. Most of these classes also include other distinguishable receptor types.
  • the 5-HTI class includes receptors, which can be divided into at least five subclasses, which are designated 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1C, 5-HT1D and 5-HT1E (Boess FG and Martin IL, Neuropharmacology 33: 275-317 (1994)).
  • the 5-HT5 class was first described by Plassat et al., The EMBO Journal Vol. 11 No. 13, pp. 4779-4786 (1992). A distinction is made between 5-HT5A and 5-HT5B receptors (Erlander et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90: 3452-3456 (1993)). There are only minor sequence homologies between 5-HT5 and other 5-HT receptors. The pharmacological profile of these receptors differs significantly. Molecular biological techniques successfully localized 5-HT5 receptors in the olfactory bulb, in the hippocampus, in the cortex, in the cerebral ventricles, in the corpus callosum and in the cerebellum.
  • 5-HT5 receptors are primarily expressed on astrocytes (Carson et al., GLIA 17: 317-326 (1996)).
  • Astrocytes lie directly on the basement membrane of brain capillaries of the blood-brain barrier.
  • An abnormal astrocyte endothelium structure is associated with a loss of the blood-brain barrier.
  • the exact meaning of the astrocytes is unclear. They seem to carry out transport tasks and connective functions.
  • Reactive astrocytes have been observed in association with reactive gliosis in a number of pathological brain changes and neuropsychiatric disorders. As a result of brain injuries, they change their morphology. The protein expression pattern changes and growth factors are produced.
  • Migraine is a CNS disease that affects large parts of the population. It manifests itself in most cases by a recurring headache, of which an estimated 8 million people, i.e. 3-5% of all children, 7% of all men and 14% of all women are affected. Although a genetic predisposition is propagated, the causes seem to be complex (Diener H.C. et al., Arzneiffentherapie 15: 387-394 (1997)).
  • the vascular theory which has been known for a long time, suggests a dilation process of the inner and outer cerebral vascular system as the cause.
  • the neurogenic theory is based on a release of vasoactive neurotransmitters, primarily neuropeptides such as substance p and neurokinin, from axons of the vasculature as a result of stimulation of certain brain tissue innervating ganglia, which is said to lead to inflammatory reactions and thus to pain.
  • Prophylactic migraine-specific active ingredients such as Sanmigran R , Nocerton R , Desernil R and Vidora R , but also active ingredients commonly used for other indications, such as beta-blockers, antiemetic active ingredients such as Sibelium R , antidepressants such as Laroxyl R , or anti-epileptic active ingredients such as Depakin R , administered.
  • analgesics such as Aspirin R , Paracetamol or Optalidon R , non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Cebutid R , Voltaren R , B-40 R , Ponstyl R , Profenid R , Apranx R and Na-prosin R are used to relieve pain and inflammation , Ergot alkaloids, such as ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, which can trigger a vasoconstriction, or substances of the triptan family, such as sumatriptan, Naramig R , and AscoTop R with high affinity for 5-HTID receptors. The latter substances act as an agonist and block vasodilation.
  • Non-opioid analgesics often have side effects.
  • the complex mechanism of action of the ergot alkaloids leads to side effects such as hypertension and gangrene due to the strong peripheral vasoconstriction.
  • Compounds belonging to the triptan family are also not entirely satisfactory (Pfaffenrath V. Münch. Med. Wschr. 625-626 (1998)).
  • Sumatriptan Imigran R
  • This active ingredient is ineffective in 28% of the patients; the oral doses are very high at 50-100 mg. Coronary vasopasms, hypertension, kidney and liver disorders have become known as contraindications.
  • the present invention therefore relates to selective binding partners for 5-HT5 receptors, which are characterized in that their binding affinity for 5-HT5 receptors is greater than for one or more 5-HT5 receptors different from 5-HT5.
  • binding partner for 5-HT5 receptors describes substances which bind to 5-HT5 receptors and can therefore also be referred to as 5-HT5 receptor ligands.
  • irreversible interactions between binding partner and receptor can also be considered, e.g. covalent bonds.
  • Selectivity means the property of a binding partner, preferably to bind to 5-HT5 receptors.
  • binding partners have binding affinities for 5-HT5 receptors that are greater than for one or more 5-HT5 receptors other than 5-HT5, in particular the 5-HT receptor classes 5-HT1, 5-HT2, 5 mentioned above -HT3, 5-HT4, 5-HT6 and 5-HT7 assignable receptors. If the binding affinity for 5-HT5 receptors of a binding partner is greater than that of a 5-HT receptor different from 5-HT5, one speaks of a selective binding of the 5-HT receptor different from 5-HT5 Binding partner to 5-HT5 receptors.
  • Special binding partners are those whose binding affinity for 5-HT5 receptors is greater than for at least one and in particular all 5-HTI receptors, in particular for 5-HT1D and / or 5-HTIB receptors. Binding partners whose binding affinity for 5-HT5 receptors is greater than for all 5-HT5 receptors different from 5-HT5 represent another special class of binding partners.
  • the binding affinities for 5-HT5 receptors on the one hand and for one or more 5-HT5 receptors different from 5-HT5 on the other hand differ sufficiently. Affinity differences are preferred, according to which binding affinity ratios of at least 2, more advantageously of at least 5, particularly advantageously of at least 10, preferably of at least 20, particularly preferably of at least 50 and in particular of at least 100 are present.

  • comparison binding partners such as 5-HT (5-hydroxytryptamine) or 5-CT (5-carboxamidotryptamine
  • Non-competitive inhibition means that binding partners according to the invention bind a comparative binding partner via their binding to the receptor, in the present case, for example 5-HT or 5-CT, modulate, especially reduce its binding affinity.
  • binding partners that can be used according to the invention therefore have a high binding affinity for 5-HT5 receptors.
  • Such a binding affinity allows, on the one hand, an effective displacement of naturally occurring binding partners for 5-HT5 receptors, such as, for example, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) itself, the required concentration of binding partner which can be used according to the invention being used to bind a certain amount of this binding partner 5-HT5 receptors decrease with increasing binding affinity.
  • Binding partners are therefore preferably administered in daily doses of approximately 0.01 to 100 mg / kg body weight and in particular of approximately 0.1 to 15 mg / kg body weight when administered parenterally and 1 to 30 mg / kg body weight when administered orally.
