  • Alphar antagonists are based on the view that the obstruction of the urinary tract in BPH is based not only on a static component, which is caused by the enlarged prostate, but also on a dynamic component, which is caused by an increased tone of the smooth prostatic muscles.
  • a large number of studies have shown that dynamic obstruction in BPH is apparently mediated by an increased release of norepinephrine from sympathetic neurons. It is generally accepted today that in the Prostate predominantly alpha 1A adrenoceptors are expressed.
  • the clinical effectiveness of blocking alpha-adrenoceptors in the treatment of BPH was originally demonstrated using the non-specific antagonist phenoxybenzamine.

  • BPH only develops in the presence of biologically active male sex hormones. BPH is practically never observed in men who had to undergo castration before the age of 40 or who have no or only insufficient androgen formation in the gonads due to an underactive pituitary gland. Likewise, in the event of a congenital defect or a lack of androgen receptors (e.g. testicular feminization), the normal development of the prostate and the formation of hyperplastic changes with increasing age do not occur. The most biologically important androgen in the prostate is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is produced locally under the influence of 5-alpha reductase from testosterone.

Description

Zimtsäurenitrile, Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung und Verwendung Cinnamic acid nitriles, process for their preparation and use
Die benigne Prostatahyperplasie (BPH) ist mit Abstand die wichtigste urologische Erkrankung von Männern.Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is by far the most important urological disease in men.
Histologisch handelt es sich bei der BPH um ein benignes Wachstum von epithelialen und stromalen Anteilen der Prostata, bei dem es durch Vergrößerung des Organs zu Harnabflußstörungen kommt, die mit Symptomen wie Pollakisurie und Nykturie sowie unvollständiger und verzögerter Blasenentleerung einhergehen. In fortgeschrittenem Stadium kann es infolge der Rückstauung von Harn zu Niereninsuffizienz und Urämie kommen. Bedingt durch Sekretstauungen und Harnverhaltungen entwickeln sich außerdem häufig eine abakterielle Prostatitis, Kongestionen und rezidivierende Harnwegsinfektionen, die neben den obstruktiven Beschwerden für irritative Miktionsstörungen verantwortlich sind. Zunehmend wird deshalb auch von einem BPH-Symdrom oder "Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)" gesprochen. Ätiologie und Pathogenese der BPH sind noch weitgehend ungeklärt.Histologically, BPH is a benign growth of epithelial and stromal parts of the prostate, with enlargement of the organ leading to urinary drainage disorders that are accompanied by symptoms such as pollakiuria and nocturia, as well as incomplete and delayed bladder emptying. In advanced stages, urinary congestion can lead to renal failure and uremia. Due to secretion congestion and urinary retention, abacterial prostatitis, congestion and recurrent urinary tract infections often develop, which in addition to the obstructive symptoms are responsible for irritative micturition disorders. This is why there is increasing talk of a BPH symptom or "Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS)". The aetiology and pathogenesis of BPH are still largely unknown.
Das Spektrum der Behandlungsmöglichkeiten der BPH reicht von einer abwartenden Haltung ("watchful waiting") bis zur offenen Prostataadenomektomie. Zunehmende Bedeutung gewinnen jedoch medikamentöse Therapieansätze. Neben Phytopharmaka, die häufig bei leichteren Krankheitsstadien eingesetzt werden, werden vor allem Alpha Antagonisten und 5-Alpha-Reduktasehemmer als Arzneimittel zur Behandlung der BPH verwendet (vgl. Eckert, R.E., et al., Zelluläre Grundlage der dynamischen, infravesikalen Obstruktion im Rahmen einer benignen Prostatahyperplasie; Rolle von Alpharezeptorenblockem und zyklischen Nukleotiden, Akt. Urol. 29, 252-260 (1998); Weckermann, D. und Wawroschek, F. Medikamentöse Therapie des benignen Prostatahyperplasie-Syndroms. Münch. med. Wschr. 141 , 54-58 (1999); Weckermann, D. und Wawroschek, F. Interventionelle Therapie der benignen Prostatahyperplasie. Münch. med. Wschr., 141 , 59-63 (1999).The spectrum of treatment options for BPH ranges from a watchful waiting to open prostate adenomectomy. However, drug therapy approaches are becoming increasingly important. In addition to phytopharmaceuticals, which are often used in milder stages of the disease, alpha antagonists and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are primarily used as medicines for the treatment of BPH (see Eckert, RE, et al., Cellular basis of dynamic, infravesical obstruction in the context of a benign prostatic hyperplasia; role of alpha-receptor blockers and cyclic nucleotides, Akt. Urol. 29, 252-260 (1998); Weckermann, D. and Wawroschek, F. Medicinal therapy of benign prostatic hyperplasia syndrome. Münch. med. Wschr. 141, 54- 58 (1999); Weckermann, D. and Wawroschek, F. Interventional therapy for benign prostatic hyperplasia, Münch. Med. Wschr., 141, 59-63 (1999).
Der Einsatz von AlpharAntagonisten beruht auf der Ansicht, daß die Obstruktion der ableitenden Harnwege bei der BPH neben einer statischen Komponente, die durch die vergrößerte Prostata hervorgerufen wird, zusätzlich auf einer dynamischen Komponente beruht, die durch einem erhöhten Tonus der glatten prostatischen Muskulatur hervorgerufen wird. In einer Vielzahl von Studien wurde gezeigt, daß die dynamische Obstruktion bei der BPH offenbar durch eine gesteigerte Freisetzung von Noradrenalin aus sympathischen Neuronen vermittelt wird. Es ist heute generell akzeptiert, daß in der Prostata vorwiegend Alpha1A-Adrenozeptoren exprimiert werden. Die klinische Effektivität der Blockade von Alpha-Adrenozeptoren bei der Behandlung der BPH wurde ursprünglich durch Verwendung des unspezifischen Antagonisten Phenoxybenzamin demonstriert. Wegen der erheblichen kardiovaskulären Nebenwirkungen wurden in den vergangenen Jahren eine Reihe von sogenannten uroselektiven AlphaιA-Blockern entwickelt, die wesentlich besser verträglich sind. Die Ergebnisse von klinischen Studien zeigen, daß diese Substanzen im Vergleich zu Placebo eine statistisch und klinisch signifikante Verbesserung der Symptome und des maximalen Harnflusses bewirken. Vorteil der Alphablocker ist ihr rascher Wirkungseintritt, die Wachstumpotenz der Prostata bleibt durch diese Substanzen aber unbeeinflußt (vgl. Heimbach, D. und Müller, S.C. Die Behandlung der BPH mit α Adrenozeptorantagonisten. Urologe [A] 36, 18-34 (1997); Eckert et al., loc. cit.; Weckermann und Wawroschek, loc. cit.).The use of Alphar antagonists is based on the view that the obstruction of the urinary tract in BPH is based not only on a static component, which is caused by the enlarged prostate, but also on a dynamic component, which is caused by an increased tone of the smooth prostatic muscles. A large number of studies have shown that dynamic obstruction in BPH is apparently mediated by an increased release of norepinephrine from sympathetic neurons. It is generally accepted today that in the Prostate predominantly alpha 1A adrenoceptors are expressed. The clinical effectiveness of blocking alpha-adrenoceptors in the treatment of BPH was originally demonstrated using the non-specific antagonist phenoxybenzamine. Because of the significant cardiovascular side effects, a number of so-called uroselective alpha- A blockers have been developed in recent years, which are much better tolerated. The results of clinical studies show that these substances have a statistically and clinically significant improvement in symptoms and maximum urine flow compared to placebo. The advantage of alpha blockers is their rapid onset of action, but the growth potential of the prostate remains unaffected by these substances (cf. Heimbach, D. and Müller, SC. Treatment of BPH with α adrenoceptor antagonists. Urologe [A] 36, 18-34 (1997); Eckert et al., Loc. Cit .; Weckermann and Wawroschek, loc. Cit.).
Grundsätzlich entwickelt sich eine BPH nur in Anwesenheit biologisch aktiver männlicher Geschlechtshormone. Bei Männern, die sich vor dem 40. Lebensjahr einer Kastration unterziehen mußten oder bei denen aufgrund einer Unterfunktion der Hypophyse keine bzw. nur eine unzureichende Androgenbildung in den Gonaden erfolgt, wird praktisch nie eine BPH beobachtet. Ebenso unterbleibt bei einem angeborenen Defekt oder einem Fehlen von Androgenrezeptoren (z.B. testikuläre Feminisierung) die normale Entwicklung der Prostata und die Ausbildung hyperplastischer Veränderungen mit zunehmendem Alter. Das biologisch wichtigste Androgen in der Prostata ist Dihydrotestosteron (DHT), das lokal unter dem Einfluß der 5-Alpha-Reduktase aus Testosteron gebildet wird. Da DHT vor allem die epithelialen Anteile der BPH stimuliert, gelingt es durch Hemmung der 5-Alpha- Reduktase einen Wachstumsstillstand bzw. eine Atrophie des Drüsenanteils zu erreichen, die stromale Komponente der BPH wird aber praktisch nicht beeinflußt. Zum Beispiel kommt es bei der Einnahme des 5-Alpha-Reduktasehemmers Finasterid zu einer Reduzierung der prostatischen DHT-Konzentration von bis zu 85 %, die Verringerung der Prostatagröße beträgt durchschnittlich aber nur ca. 20 % und benötigt außerdem einen Zeitraum von bis zu 12 Monaten. Klinisch relevant ist dieser Effekt im wesentlichen nur dann, wenn das Prostatavolumen zu Beginn der Therapie bei über 40 ml liegt (vgl. Geller, J. Pathogenesis and medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate (Suppl.) 2, 95-104 (1989); Weckermann und Wawroschek, loc. cit.).Basically, BPH only develops in the presence of biologically active male sex hormones. BPH is practically never observed in men who had to undergo castration before the age of 40 or who have no or only insufficient androgen formation in the gonads due to an underactive pituitary gland. Likewise, in the event of a congenital defect or a lack of androgen receptors (e.g. testicular feminization), the normal development of the prostate and the formation of hyperplastic changes with increasing age do not occur. The most biologically important androgen in the prostate is dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is produced locally under the influence of 5-alpha reductase from testosterone. Since DHT mainly stimulates the epithelial parts of BPH, inhibition of 5-alpha reductase leads to growth arrest or atrophy of the glandular part, but the stromal component of BPH is practically unaffected. For example, taking the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor finasteride results in a reduction in the prostatic DHT concentration of up to 85%, but the reduction in prostate size is only about 20% on average and also requires a period of up to 12 months , This effect is only clinically relevant if the prostate volume at the beginning of therapy is over 40 ml (see Geller, J. Pathogenesis and medical treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate (Suppl.) 2, 95-104 (1989 ); Weckermann and Wawroschek, loc.cit.).
Obwohl Androgenen eine zentrale Rolle sowohl bei der normalen Entwicklung und Funktion der Prostata als auch bei der Ausbildung einer BPH zukommt, sind männliche Geschlechtshormone für sich alleine nicht ausreichend, um ein Wachstum von Prostatazellen auszulösen. Zahlreiche experimentelle Untersuchungen lassen vermuten, daß die wachstumsstimulierenden Effekte von Androgenen in vivo über die lokale Synthese von Wachstumsfaktoren vermittelt werden, und daß Störungen der para- und autokrinen Mechanismen der Wachstumskontrolle innerhalb der epithelialen und stromalen Anteile der Prostata maßgeblich an der Entstehung der BPH beteiligt sind. Tatsächlich wurden in der Prostata eine Vielzahl von Wachstumsfaktoren (z.B. Epidermal Growth Factor [EGFJ, Transforming Growth Factor-α, [TGF-α], TGF-ß, basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), Keratinocyte Growth Factor [KGF], Nerve Growth Factor [NGF], Insulin-like Growth Factor I [IGF-1] etc.) und deren Rezeptoren nachgewiesen. Da die BPH sehr häufig mit entzündlichen Reaktionen einhergeht, denen eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Pathogenese beigemessen wird, kommt Platelet-derived Growth Factor (PDGF), der z.B. von Fibroblasten, Thrombozyten und Leukozyten freigesetzt wird, vermutlich eine besondere Bedeutung für die Proliferation von Prostatazellen zu (vgl. Vlahos, C.J., et al., Platelet- derived growth factor induces proliferation of hyperplastic human prostatic stromal cells. J. Cell. Biochem. 52, 404-413 (1993); Desgrandchamps, F. und Teillac, P. The role of growth factors in the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Biomed. Pharmacother. 48 (Suppl. 1), 19s-23s (1994); Sciarra, F., et al., Regional distribution of epidermal growth factor, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in benign prostatic hyperplasia tissue. Urol. Res. 23, 387-390 (1995); Claesson-Welsh, L. Mechanism of action of platelet-derived growth factor. Int. J. Biochem. Cell Biol. 28, 373-385 (1996); Culig, Z., et al., Regulation of prostatic growth and function by peptide growth factors. Prostate 28, 392-405 (1996); Peehl, D.M. Celluiar biology of prostatic growth factors. Prostate (Suppl.) 6, 74-78 (1996); Peehl, D.M. und Seilers, R.G. Basic FGF, EGF, and PDGF modify TGFß-induction of smooth muscle cell phenotype in human prostatic stromal cells. Prostate 35, 125-134 (1998).Although androgens play a central role in the normal development and function of the prostate as well as in the formation of BPH, male sex hormones alone are not sufficient to trigger the growth of prostate cells. Numerous experimental investigations suggest that the growth-stimulating effects of androgens are mediated in vivo via the local synthesis of growth factors, and that disorders of the para- and autocrine mechanisms of growth control within the epithelial and stromal parts of the prostate are significantly involved in the development of BPH , In fact, a large number of growth factors (e.g. epidermal growth factor [EGFJ, transforming growth factor-α, [TGF-α], TGF-ß, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), keratinocyte growth factor [KGF], nerve growth Factor [NGF], Insulin-like Growth Factor I [IGF-1] etc.) and their receptors. Since BPH is very often associated with inflammatory reactions, which are considered to play an important role in pathogenesis, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), which is released by fibroblasts, thrombocytes and leukocytes, is probably of particular importance for the proliferation of prostate cells to (see Vlahos, CJ, et al., Platelet-derived growth factor induces proliferation of hyperplastic human prostatic stromal cells.

Wachstumsfaktoren vermitteln ihre biologische Wirkung durch Bindung an spezifische Rezeptoren an der Zelloberfläche, die über intrinsische Tyrosinkinase-Aktivität verfügen. Nach Bindung des Liganden kommt es zur Phosphorylierung von Tyrosinresten an der intrazellulären Rezeptordomäne und anderer Zielproteine, die anschließend eine Kaskade von intrazellulären Reaktionen auslöst. Dazu gehören die Stimulation der Protein- und DNA-Synthese sowie die Aktivierung der Zellproliferation. Inhibitoren von Rezeptor- Tyrosinkinase werden deshalb als vielversprechende Substanzen zur Entwicklung neuer Medikamente zur Behandlung von Erkrankungen angesehen, die mit einer erhöhten Zellproliferation einhergehen (z.B. Krebs, Atherosklerose, Psoriasis) (vgl. Levitzki, A. und Gazit, A. Tyrosine kinase Inhibition: An approach to drug development. Science 267, 1782- 1788 (1995); Traxler, P. und Lydon, N. Recent advances in protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Drugs Fut. 20, 1261-1274 (1995)). Wenig Aufmerksamkeit wurde diesem Wirkprinzip bisher aber bei der Therapie der BPH entgegengebracht.Growth factors mediate their biological effect by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface that have intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. After binding of the ligand, tyrosine residues on the intracellular receptor domain and other target proteins are phosphorylated, which subsequently triggers a cascade of intracellular reactions. This includes stimulating protein and DNA synthesis and activating cell proliferation. Inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinase are therefore seen as promising substances for the development of new drugs for the treatment of diseases that are associated with increased cell proliferation (e.g. cancer, atherosclerosis, psoriasis) (see Levitzki, A. and Gazit, A. Tyrosine kinase inhibition: An approach to drug development. Science 267, 1782-1788 (1995); Traxler, P. and Lydon, N. Recent advances in protein tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Drugs Fut. 20, 1261-1274 (1995)). So far, little attention has been paid to this principle of action in the treatment of BPH.
Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, Substanzen zur Verfügung zu stellen, die durch Hemmung von AlpharAdrenozeptoren (αi-antagonistische Wirkung) und durch Unterdrückung derWachstumsfaktor-vermittelten Zellproliferation (proliferations-hemmende Wirkung) von Epithel- und Stromazellen sowohl die dynamische als auch die statische Komponente der BPH positiv beeinflussen und damit eine umfassende Behandlung des BPH-Syndroms erlauben. Aufgabe der Erfindung ist ferner die Bereitstellung von Arzneimitteln zur Prophylaxe und Behandlung der BPH und von Verfahren zu deren Herstellung und Verwendung.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing substances which, by inhibiting alphar adrenoceptors (αi-antagonistic action) and by suppressing the growth factor-mediated cell proliferation (proliferation-inhibiting action) of epithelial and stromal cells, both the dynamic and the static Affect components of BPH positively and thus allow comprehensive treatment of BPH syndrome. The object of the invention is also the provision of medicaments for the prophylaxis and treatment of BPH and of processes for their production and use.

Pharmakologische UntersuchungenPharmacological examinations
A Die pharmakolgische Prüfung der Substanzen auf Wechselwirkung mit Alpha^ Adrenozeptoren erfolgte mit einem Rezeptorbindungsassay unter Verwendung von Ratten-Gehimzellmembranen. Zur Praparation der Zellmembranen wurden mannliche Sprague-Dawley-Ratten (150-250 g) in CO2-Narkose euthanasiert und die Gehirne (ohne das Kleinhirn) entnommen Nach Entfernung von anhaftendem Blut und Hirnhauten wurden die Gehirne unmittelbar anschließend in einem 10fachen Volumen eiskaltem Homogenisierungspuffer (50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7,4) aufgenommen und mit einem eisgekühlten Glashomogenisator homogenisiert. Das Zellhomogenat wurde für 10 min bei 50.000 g (4 βC) zentrifugiert und das Pellet in eiskaltem Homogenisierungspuffer resuspendiert. Nach erneuter Zentnfugation (10 min bei 4 °C und 50.000 g) wurden die Zellmembranen in einem 10fachen Volumen Bindungspuffer (50 mM Tris-HCI, 0,5 mM Na-EDTA, 0,01 % Ascorbinsaure, 10 μM Pargylin, pH 7,4) aufgenommen und in Portionen (1 ml) bei -80°C aufbewahrtA The pharmacological testing of the substances for interaction with alpha-adrenoceptors was carried out using a receptor binding assay using rat brain cell membranes. For the preparation of the cell membranes, male Sprague-Dawley rats (150-250 g) were euthanized in CO 2 anesthesia and the brains (without the cerebellum) were removed. After removal of adhering blood and cerebral membranes, the brains were immediately removed in a 10-fold volume of ice-cold homogenization buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4) and homogenized with an ice-cooled glass homogenizer. The cell homogenate was centrifuged for 10 min at 50,000 g (4 β C) and the pellet resuspended in ice-cold homogenization buffer. After renewed centrifugation (10 min at 4 ° C. and 50,000 g), the cell membranes were in a 10-fold volume of binding buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl, 0.5 mM Na-EDTA, 0.01% ascorbic acid, 10 μM pargyline, pH 7, 4) and stored in portions (1 ml) at -80 ° C
Für den Rezeptorbindungsassay wurden die Substanzen unter Verwendung von DMSO in 150 μl Bindungspuffer gelost und zusammen mit 50 μl Gehirnzellmembranen (2,5 mg/ml Protein) und 50 μl 3H-Prazosιn (300 pM, spez. Aktivität 80 Ci/mmol) in Bindungspuffer für 45 min bei Raumtemperatur inkubiert. Die Bestimmung der unspezifischen Bindung erfolgte in Anwesenheit von 2 μM Phentolamin. Die Reaktionsmischung wurde anschließend durch Glasfaserfiiter (Typ GF/B), die über Nacht mit Polyethylenimine (0,2 % in Agua dest.) vorbehandelt worden waren, gefiltert. Nach viermaligem Waschen mit jeweils 3 ml eiskaltem Bindungspuffer wurden die Filter für 1 h bei 60 °C getrocknet. Die Bestimmung der gebundenen Radioaktivität erfolgte nach Überführung der Filter in 4 ml Szintillationsflussigkeit (Quickszint) in einem Beta-Counter. Die Hemmung der spezifischen Bindung von 3H-Prazosιn an Alpha1-Adenozeptoren wurde in Prozent einer parallel untersuchten Losungsmittelkontrolle kalkuliertFor the receptor binding assay, the substances were dissolved in 150 μl binding buffer using DMSO and together with 50 μl brain cell membranes (2.5 mg / ml protein) and 50 μl 3 H-Prazosιn (300 pM, specific activity 80 Ci / mmol) in Binding buffer incubated for 45 min at room temperature. The non-specific binding was determined in the presence of 2 μM phentolamine. The reaction mixture was then filtered through glass fiber filters (type GF / B) which had been pretreated overnight with polyethyleneimine (0.2% in distilled water). After washing four times with 3 ml of ice-cold binding buffer, the filters were dried at 60 ° C. for 1 h. The radioactivity bound was determined after transferring the filter to 4 ml of scintillation liquid (Quickszint) in a beta counter. The inhibition of the specific binding of 3 H-Prazosιn to Alpha 1 adenoceptors was calculated in percent of a solvent control examined in parallel
