Definitions
- the present invention relates to parathyroid hormone (PTH) antagonists. More particularly, the present invention provides for pharmaceutical compositions, kits and combinations comprising the PTH antagonist. The present invention also provides for methods for preventing, treating or delaying a disease or disorder associated with excessive bone mineral, e.g., calcium, loss or for preventing, treating or delaying the effect of a PTH agonist using the PTH antagonist.
- PTH parathyroid hormone
- the present invention further provides for methods for identifying a subject having or at risk of having osteoporosis or decreased bone density, or for identifying a subject in need of PTH antagonist treatment, or for monitoring a subject undergoing treatment for osteoporosis or decreased bone density, by determining and/or monitoring PTH antagonist level or a comparative value between PTH agonist and PTH antagonist.
- the present invention further provides for methods for identifying an agent suitable for preventing, treating or delaying osteoporosis by identifying a compound that enhances the PTH antagonist activity.
- FIGURE 1 84 amino acid peptide (SEQ ID NO:l), as is shown in FIGURE 1.
- this peptide has an anabolic effect on bone that involves a domain for protein kinase C activation (amino acid residues 28 to 34) as well as a domain for adenylate cyclase activation (amino acid residues 1 to 7).
- various catabolic forms of clipped or fragmented PTH peptides also are found in circulation, most likely formed by intraglandular or peripheral metabolism.
- hPTH can be cleaved between amino acids 34 and 35 to produce a (1- 34) PTH N-terminal fragment and a (35-84) PTH C-terminal fragment.
- non-(l-84) PTH a large PTH fragment referred to as “non-(l-84) PTH” which is clipped closer to the N-terminal end of PTH.
- the cleaved fragments of PTH vary in both biological activity and metabolic clearance rate from the circulation.
- the N-terminal human PTH ⁇ -34 (hPTH ⁇ _ 4 ) fragment has PTH agonist properties, but is rapidly removed from circulation.
- a daily subcutaneous administration of hPTH to patients with idiopathic osteoporosis has been shown to substantially increase their iliac trebecular bone volume. (See Podbesek et al., Endocrinology, 112:1000-1006 (1983)).
- PTH plays a role in the course of disease in a patient with chronic renal failure.
- Renal osteodystrophy is a complex skeletal disease comprising osteitis fibrosa cystica (caused by excess PTH), osteomalacia resulting in mineralized bone matrix (caused by vitamin D deficiency), extraskeletal calcification/ossification (caused by abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism), and adynamic bone disease (contributed to by PTH suppression).
- Chronic renal failure patients can develop RO. Failing kidneys increase serum phosphorus (hyperphosphoremia) and decrease 1 ,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,2S- D) production by the kidney.
- the former results in secondary hyperparathyroidism from decreased gastrointestinal calcium absorption and osteitis fibrosa cystica from increased PTH in indirect response to an increase in serum phosphorus.
- the later causes hypocalcemia and osteomalacia.
- the parathyroid gland With the onset of secondary hyperparathyroidism, the parathyroid gland becomes less responsive to its hormonal regulators because of decreased expression of its calcium and vitamin D receptors. Serum calcium drops. RO can lead to digital gangrene, bone pain, bone fractures, and muscle weakness.
- Vitamin D analogues such as calcitriol, stimulate intestinal calcium transport, calcium absorption in bone and calcium tubular . reabsorption in kidneys. Such therapy has its dangers.
- Serum calcium levels must be carefully monitored. Too much dosage can induce hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria. Moreover, very serious consequences occur from calcium and phosphorus mismanagement from direct and indirect PTH suppression therapy. Soft tissue calcification results in a five to fifteen times higher incidence of myocardial infarction among end stage renal dialysis patients as compared to age matched diabetes patients. The secondarily hyperplastic parathyroid glands escape PTH control over calcium, a condition referred to as tertiary hype arathyroidism.
- PTH 7-34 and PTH 8-3 N-terminal PTH analogues (PTH 7-34 and PTH 8-3 ), having substitutions at the 8, 12, 18, and/or 34 amino acid positions. These analogs bind to PTH cell surface receptors but do not stimulate a change in the second messenger concentration, i.e., act as a hormone for calcium ion concentration. PTH activity can also be inhibited by unsubstituted PTH fragments, namely PTH 3-34 or PTH 7-34 , however, these fragments are so weak in their antagonist properties that they do not have practical or beneficial significance.
- Osteoporosis is the most common form of metabolic bone disease and may be considered the symptomatic, fracture stage of bone loss (osteopenia). Although osteoporosis may occur secondary to a number of underlying diseases, 90% of all cases appear to be idiopathic. Postmenopausal women are particularly at risk for idiopathic osteoporosis (postmenopausal or Type I osteoporosis).
- Osteoporosis Another high risk group for idiopathic osteoporosis is the elderly of either sex (senile or Type II osteoporosis). Osteoporosis has also been related to corticosteroid use, immobilization or extended bed rest, alcoholism, diabetes, gonadotoxic chemotherapy, hyperprolactinemia, anorexia nervosa, primary and secondary amenorrhea, and oophorectomy.
- Bone loss in osteoporotics is believed to involve an imbalance in the process by which the skeleton renews itself. This process has been termed bone remodeling. It occurs in a series of discrete pockets of activity. These pockets appear spontaneously within the bone matrix on a given bone surface as a site of bone resorption.
- Osteoclasts (bone dissolving or resorbing cells) are responsible for the resorption of a portion of bone of generally constant dimension. Resorption is followed by the appearance of osteoblasts (bone forming cells) that refill the cavity left by the osteoclasts with new bone. [0012] In a healthy adult subject, the rate at which osteoclasts and osteoblasts are formed is such that bone formation and bone resorption are in balance constituting an optimal bone turnover rate. However, in osteoporotics an imbalance in the bone remodeling process develops which results in bone being lost at a rate faster than it is being made.

- the present method can be used to guide the calcium, bisphosphanate or vitamin D treatment in order for those agents to be useful in stimulating the correct amount of PTH antagonist as an osteoclast inhibitor for the treatment of osteoporosis and high bone turnover.
- the new discovery here is that calcium and vitamin D cause a preferential stimulation of PTH antagonist which acts directly on the bone to lower bone turnover by inhibiting the osteoclasts (Divietti et al., Endocrinology, 143: 171 - 176 (2002); and Divietti et al, J. Bone Miner. Res., 16:Suppl 1, S307 (2001)).

A compound that demonstrates a low IC50 value or EC50 value for the target PTH antagonist, and a higher IC50 value or EC50 value for the other PTH related moieties within the test panel, is considered to be selective toward the target PTH antagonist.
- a compound is deemed selective if its IC50 value or EC50 value in the target PTH antagonist assay is at least one order of magnitude less than the next smallest IC50 value or EC50 value measured in the selectivity panel of PTH antagonists.
