Definitions

  • the invention relates to compounds useful for promoting or inhibiting angiogenesis and to pharmaceutical compositions containing a compound that affects angiogenesis, which are useful in a number of angiogenesis-related conditions. Further, the invention relates to methods of using such angiogenesis-affecting compounds.
  • Angiogenesis is the fundamental process by which new blood vessels are formed. The process involves the migration of vascular endothelial cells into tissue, followed by the condensation of such endothelial cells into vessels.
  • Angiogenesis may be induced by an angiogenic agent or be the result of a natural condition.
  • Angiogenesis or its absence, plays an important role in the maintenance of a variety of pathological states. Some of these states are characterized by neovascularization, e.g., cancer, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age related macular degeneration. Others, e.g., stroke, infertility, heart disease, ulcers, and scleroderma, are diseases of angiogenic insufficiency.
  • Angiogenesis has a number of stages (see, e.g., Zhu and Witte, Invest New Drags 17: 195-212, 1999).
  • the early stages of angiogenesis include endothelial cell protease production, migration of cells, and proliferation. The early stages also appear to require some growth factors.
  • Later stages of angiogenesis include population of the vessels with mural cells, basement membrane production, and the induction of vessel bed specializations.
  • the final stages of vessel formation include remodelling, wherein a forming vasculature becomes a stable, mature vessel bed. Thus, the process is highly dynamic, often requiring coordinated spatial and temporal waves of gene expression.
  • the complex angiogenesis process is subject to disruption through interference with one or more critical steps, and numerous disease states can result from or be exacerbated by the disruption.
  • Unregulated angiogenesis can cause or worsen disease, for example, ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology of approximately 20 eye diseases.
  • ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology of approximately 20 eye diseases.
  • ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology of approximately 20 eye diseases.
  • ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology of approximately 20 eye diseases.
  • ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology of approximately 20 eye diseases.
  • ocular neovascularization has been implicated as the most common cause of blindness and underlies the pathology
  • Perhexiline was initially used for management of angina pectoris. Despite some positive effects, adverse hepatic and neurological effects were also associated with Perhexiline administration. The original classification as a coronary vasodilator was revised to a calcium channel antagonist, but recent data suggest it may be a cardiac metabolic agent acting through the inhibition of the enzyme carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1). Killalea S.M. and Krum H. describe an evaluation of Perhexiline for managing severe myocardial ischemia in Am. J. Cardiocasc. Drugs, 2001; l(3): 193-204.
  • CPT-1 carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1
  • Erythromycin is produced by a strain of Streptomyces erythraeus belonging to the macrolide group of antibiotics. It is basic and readily forms salts with acids, however, it is the base which is microbiologically active. It is primarily given topically or orally to treat bacterial infections. Given the substantial history for use of this drug in humans, it would be desirable to elucidate any further applications for which it would be a candidate. Some recent research has indicated that erythromycin may have new applications, see, for example, Yatsunami J, et al., Inhibitory effects of roxithromycin on tumor angiogenesis, growth and metastasis of mouse B16 melanoma cells, Clin Exp Metastasis.
  • Dopamine regulators are known and many have been effectively used in patients.
  • Bromocriptine mesylate (Bromocriptine) is an ergot derivative with potent dopamine receptor antagonist activity. It can be used in various other applications, such as infertility, but its full range of potential uses has not yet been elucidated.
  • Eticlopride and Lisuride are described in the relevant literature for their ability to regulate dopamine.
  • Dopamine and Dopamine receptor-2 selective agonists such as Bromocriptine have been shown to prevent angiogenesis in Basu S et al., The neurotransmitter dopamine inhibits angiogenesis induced by vascular permeability factor/vascular endothelial growth factor, Nat Med. 2001 May;7(5):569-74. Eticlopride was shown to have not effect on angiogenesis.
  • anti-androgens have been provided, examples of which include flutamide and danazol.
  • Flutamide has been successfully used to inhibit androgen, however, there is a serious and substantial risk of hepatic injury in conjunction with its use. Liver failure and death have been reported, typically within the initial few months of flutamide use. Despite this, determining any other potentially beneficial uses of flutamide is warranted.
  • the synthetic hormone danazol derived from ethisterone, could be a desirable medicament due to its rapid and extensive metabolization following oral administration. Unlike flutamide which is primarily used in male patients, danazol also offers the advantage of having clinical data in both male and female subjects.
  • an object of the present invention to provide compounds that affect angiogenesis. It is a further object of the invention to provide methods of using angiogenesis-affecting compounds. Yet another object of the invention is to elucidate new uses for known compounds.
