Definitions

  • This invention relates to a combination of a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist and a selective histamine H 4 receptor antagonist for the treatment of a range of diseases that may be treated by antagonism of either or both of the H 1 and H 4 receptors including allergic diseases and disorders such as allergic rhinitis and asthma, to the uses of, and to compositions, products and methods of treatment including, such a combination.
  • This invention also relates to a selective histamine H 4 receptor antagonist. Allergies are widespread and affect a large proportion of the world population. They may be seasonal in nature and can be caused by a variety of factors present in the environment such as pollen, mites and dust particles.
  • Symptoms of allergic rhinitis which may be seasonal or perennial, can include rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and irritation, often accompanied by coughing or sneezing. Irritation and soreness of the throat and eyes is also common. The level of severity of each symptom experienced may vary from representing a minor problem to a person experiencing a severe effect.
  • a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist in the treatment of allergic rhinitis is well-documented but when administered alone it does not provide an effective relief for nasal blockage and such agents are therefore often administered concurrently with sympathomimetic amine decongestants such as phenylpropanolamine and pseudoephedrine.
  • sympathomimetic amine decongestants such as phenylpropanolamine and pseudoephedrine.
  • WO98/06394 discloses the use of a combination of a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist and a histamine H 3 receptor antagonist for the treatment of allergy-induced responses in the mammalian airway, including relief from nasal congestion.
  • the present invention is based on the teaching of EP 1096009 A1 (European Patent Application no. 00309364.8) in which, inter alia, a polynucleotide encoding for a polypeptide corresponding to a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), newly termed by other researchers the histamine H 4 receptor, are described and claimed.
  • GPCR G-protein coupled receptor
  • histamine H 4 receptor is defined as a polypeptide comprising:
  • homologue in relation to the amino acid sequence for the polypeptide include any substitution of, variation of, modification of, replacement of, deletion of or addition of one (or more) amino acid from or to the sequence providing the resultant polypeptide has GPCR activity, preferably being at least as biologically active as the polypeptide shown in attached SEQ ID NO: 2.
  • the term “homologue” covers homology with respect to structure and/or function. With respect to sequence homology, there is at least 70%, preferably at least 75%, more preferably at least 80%, more preferably at least 85%, more preferably at least 90%, more preferably at least 95% homology to the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. Most preferably there is at least 98% homology to the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2.
  • This polypeptide corresponds to the orphan G-protein-coupled receptor encoded GPRv53, that has been surmised to be a novel histamine H 4 receptor, as described in The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 275(47), 36781-36786 (November 2000), the teaching of which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • histamine-induced chemotaxis we have surprisingly found that histamine-induced chemotaxis
  • Eosinophils have been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and allergic diseases such as asthma and allergic rhinitis and high levels of histamine are released in patients with these conditions.
  • Histamine H 4 receptor antagonists may be advantageously used in treating such conditions since (i) they are likely to inhibit eosinophil infiltration into the nose and thus relieve nasal congestion by an additional or independent mechanism to antagonism of the histamine H 3 receptor, or (ii) by inhibiting eosinophil infiltration into the lung they are likely to reduce the inflammation associated with asthma and provide an effective alternative treatment for this disease.
  • a combination of a selective histamine H 4 receptor antagonist and a histamine H., receptor antagonist may be advantageously used to treat allergic rhinitis since it would treat all the main symptoms of this disease including nasal congestion.
  • a combination of a selective histamine H 4 receptor antagonist and a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist may be advantageously used to treat asthma since it may improve lung function in a synergistic manner.
  • the present invention provides a combination of (a) a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist and (b) an antagonist that is at least 10-fold selective for the histamine H 4 receptor as compared to the histamine H 3 receptor.
  • the present invention also provides a combination of (a) a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist and (b) an antagonist that is at least 10-fold selective for the histamine H 4 receptor as compared to the histamine H 3 receptor, for administration simultaneously, separately or sequentially, for use as a medicament for the treatment of a disease or disorder that may be treated by antagonism of either or both of the histamine H 1 and H 4 receptors such as allergic rhinitis or asthma.
  • the present invention further provides the use of a combination of (a) a histamine H., receptor antagonist and (b) an antagonist that is at least 10-fold selective for the histamine H 4 receptor as compared to the histamine H 3 receptor, for administration simultaneously, separately or sequentially, for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of a disease or disorder that may be treated by antagonism of either or both of the histamine H 1 and H 4 receptors such as allergic rhinitis or asthma.
  • the present invention further provides a method of treatment of a mammal, including a human being, to treat a disease or disorder that may be treated by antagonism of either or both of the histamine H., and H 4 receptors such as allergic rhinitis or asthma including simultaneous, separate or sequential administration to the mammal of a (a) an effective amount of a histamine H 1 receptor antagonist and (b) an effective amount of an antagonist that is at least 10-fold selective for the histamine H 4 receptor as compared to the histamine H 3 receptor.

  • the cDNA for the human histamine H 3 and H 4 receptor can be expressed in a suitable cell line such as HEK293 or CHO.
  • membranes can be prepared from tissues or cells which naturally express either the histamine H 3 and/or H 4 receptor. Affinity can be assessed at either receptor by assessing the ability of ligands to inhibit the binding of a suitable radioactively labelled ligand to membranes containing either the histamine H 3 or H 4 receptor. The potency of compounds is compared by calculating their pK, values.
  • the functional activity of ligands to determine agonist or antagonist activity is determined in whole cells expressing either the H 3 or H 4 receptor.
  • Agonists full or partial are identified as agents which inhibit forskolin stimulated cyclic AMP production which can be measured directly (as cyclic AMP) or indirectly as changes in beta-lactamase activity in cells co-expressing the CRE-beta-lactamase reporter system and the appropriate histamine receptor. Agonist activities may be expressed as IC 50 values.
  • Inverse agonists can also be identified by the inhibition of the basal cAMP activity (i.e. in the absence of forskolin).
  • Agents which have no effect on forskolin stimulated cAMP or inhibit basal cAMP may be antagonists and such activity can be measured in an assay where cells are pre-incubated with the ligand of interest and their ability to inhibit H 3 or H 4 agonist-induced reduction of forskolin stimulated cyclic AMP is measured as described above.
  • the experiments can be performed in one of two ways. Firstly, by increasing the concentration of antagonist versus fixed concentration of agonist and calculating the IC 50 for each antagonist. Secondly, by increasing the concentration of antagonist versus increasing the concentration of agonist and expressing the antagonist potency as a pk b or pA 2 value, as appropriate.
