Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cytotoxic agent for prophylaxis and / or
- Treatment of a viral infection adapted for selective binding to a membrane receptor of virus-infected T-lymphocytes a pharmaceutical composition containing said cytotoxic agent, the use of the cytotoxic agent for the prophylaxis and / or treatment of viral infection, a method of finding cytotoxic agents which Use of a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes overexpressed against uninfected T lymphocytes to diagnose a viral infection, and a method of diagnosing a viral infection.
- HIV human immunodeficiency virus
- HIV is an enveloped virus that belongs to the family of the retroviruses and to the genus Lentiviruses.
- An untreated HIV infection generally leads to AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) after a different length of latency phase, usually lasting several years.
- AIDS immunodeficiency syndrome
- Worldwide HIV prevalence in adults aged 15-49 years was 0.8 percent in 2010. For Central and Western Europe, it was 0.2 percent. It was above average in Sub-Saharan Africa (5.0 percent) and the Caribbean (0.9 percent). In some states, such as Swaziland, Botswana or Lesotho, about one quarter of those aged 15 to 49 are infected with the HIV virus. In Germany, the prevalence of HIV in 2009 was approximately 0.1 percent.
- HI virus To increase the HI virus requires host cells that carry the so-called CD4 receptor on the surface. These are mainly CD4-bearing T helper cells, so-called CD4 + cells or CD4 + lymphocytes.
- the main reservoir for the HI viruses is the follicular T helper cells in the body's lymphoid follicles, which make up about 2% of the CD4 + cells.
- Latent-infected resting CD4 + T-cells or T-memory cells are long-lasting reservoirs for HIV. These cells are responsible for the fact that, despite the currently available antiretroviral drugs, HIV can not be eradicated so far and it comes after discontinuation of therapy again and again recurrences.
- the eligible antiviral agents must either prevent the penetration of virions into the host cells, intervene in the cell metabolism to the detriment of virus multiplication or after a possible increase in the virus in the cells to prevent the escape of new viruses from the cells.
- these sought-after active ingredients must also be tolerable to the body metabolism, the cell structure and / or internal cell metabolism, otherwise not only, for example, the virus replication in the cells comes to a standstill, but in the worst case, the (cell) life of the entire treated organism ,
- HAART Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy
- NRTIs nucleoside and nucleotide analogues
- NRTIs non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
- PI HIV protease inhibitors
- entry and fusion inhibitors entry and fusion inhibitors
- integrase inhibitors Several classes of drugs are currently in use: nucleoside and nucleotide analogues (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), HIV protease inhibitors (PI), entry and fusion inhibitors, and integrase inhibitors.
- NRTIs nucleoside and nucleotide analogues
- NRTIs non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
- PI HIV protease inhibitors
- entry and fusion inhibitors entry and fusion inhibitors
- integrase inhibitors integrase inhibitors
- DAA direct acting antiviral drugs
- a disadvantage of the currently used antiviral agents is that they are virostatic, but not virotoxic. They inhibit the proliferation of viruses but do not kill them.
- a cytotoxic agent adapted for selective binding to a membrane receptor of virus-infected T lymphocytes, the membrane receptor being selected from the group consisting of: CD134, CD132, CD71, CD70, CD54, CD39, BTLA, CD97, CD2, CD63, CD50, CD161, CD218, CD226, CD7, CD49d and CD29.
- the inventors were able to use a novel FACS-based screening method
- the cytotoxic agent of the invention makes use of the phenomenon recognized by the inventor. It binds selectively to virus-infected T lymphocytes and unfolds there its cytotoxic activity. Uninfected cells are not or significantly weaker bound. Side effects are thus minimized.
- the cytotoxic agent of the invention is not only virostatic, so not only prevents the spread and multiplication of viruses. Rather, the cytotoxic agent of the present invention is virotoxic, thus has the potential to selectively eliminate the infected T lymphocytes and the viruses and virus precursors present in the cells.
- the cytotoxic agent of the present invention thus satisfies a long-standing need in the treatment of viral infectious diseases for causally effective therapeutics.
- agent is understood according to the invention to mean a substance which, on account of its chemical-physical properties, acts on the viability and / or proliferation of the virus-infected T lymphocyte.
- the agent may be a chemically defined compound, an active agent, a drug, etc.
- cytotoxic means such an activity which exerts an inhibiting influence on the viability and / or proliferation of the virus-infected T-lymphocyte.
- a “selective binding” is understood according to the invention to be a targeted and specific coupling of the cytotoxic agent to the membrane receptor, which is based on a selective interaction according to the key-lock principle. It is distinct from non-selective binding, which relies on nonspecific agent-receptor interactions.
- T lymphocytes form a group of white blood cells which serve the immune response and, according to the invention, comprise all T cells, in particular T helper or memory cells, which carry the CD4 receptor (CD4 + T lymphocytes).
- CD stands for "clusters of differentiation” and refers to groups of immunophenotypic surface features of cells that can be ordered by biochemical or functional criteria.
- the CD molecules are usually membrane-bound glycoproteins, which are often cell-specifically expressed and may have a variety of functions: some CDs have receptor or signaling function, while in others could be detected enzymatic activity; moreover, some cluster molecules are thought to play a central role in intercellular communication.
- CD134 also referred to as Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 4 (TNFRSF4) or OX40, is a member of the TNFR superfamily of receptors that is not constitutively expressed on quiescent naive T cells.
- TNFRSF4 Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 4
- OX40 OX40
- CD134 is a secondary, co-stimulating immune checkpoint molecule. It is assumed that CD134 has no influence on the proliferating activity of CD4 + T cells during the first three days, but after this time the proliferation slows down and the cells die off to a greater extent.
- CD134 has been described to be involved in the pathological so-called cytokine storm associated with various viral infections, such as H5N1 avian influenza, an immune system overreaction that produces high levels of inflammatory cytokines, which in turn cause leukocytes Induce formation of additional cytokines.
- CD132 also referred to as the common gamma chain (Y c ) or interleukin-2 receptor subunit gamma (IL-2RG), is a cytokine receptor subunit common to the receptor complexes of at least six different interleukin receptors: IL -2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, IL-15 and IL-21 receptor. Lymphocytes expressing CD132 can form functional receptors for these cytokines.
- the art describes diseases associated with dysfunctions or mutations in CD132, such as, for example, X-SCID (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency) or schizophrenia.
- CD71 also referred to as "transferrin receptor protein 1" (TfR1), is a
- CD71 Transmembrane protein used for iron transport of transferrin into cells by endocytosis tose is necessary.
- CD71 is described as a potential target in cases of human leukemia and lymphoma.
- CD70 is a protein that is activated on highly activated lymphocytes, such as in T and B cell lymphomas. It is therefore believed in the art that anti-CD70 antibodies represent a possible form of therapy for CD70-positive lymphomas.
- CD54 also referred to as ICAM-1 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule 1), is a
- CD54 Transmembrane glycoprotein, which is typically expressed on endothelial cells and cells of the immune system. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. After cytokine stimulation, there is a strong increase in CD54 concentration. CD54 is indicated by interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and is expressed by the vascular endothelium, macrophages and lymphocytes. CD54 plays u.a. an important role in the signal transduction of cells. CD54 is associated with subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH), in which free blood enters the subarachnoid space filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- SAH subarachnoid haemorrhage
- CD39 also referred to as “ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1” (ENTPD1), is a transmembrane protein that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ⁇ - and ⁇ -phosphate residues of triphospho- and diphosphonucleosides to the monophosphonucleoside derivatives.
- ENTPD1 ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase-1
- BTLA also referred to as “CD272”
- CD272 is induced during activation of T cells, causing T cell inhibition via interaction with tumor necrosis factor receptors, and activating BTLA with inhibition of function of human CD8 + cancer specific T cells.
- CD97 or "BL-Ac [F2]” is a member of the adhesion GPCR family.
- CD97 is expressed on hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, immune cells, epithelial cells, muscle cells and their malignant variants.
- CD97 plays the role of a critical mediator of host defense. Outside the immune system, CD97 is possible. involved in cell-cell interactions.
- CD97 is found in a variety of tumors, including those of the thyroid, stomach, pancreas, esophagus, colon, and oral squamous cell carcinomas.
- CD2 is a cell adhesion molecule found on the surface of T cells and Natural Killer (NK) cells. Other designations include T cell surface antigen T1 1 / Leu-5, LFA-2, LFA-3 receptor, erythrocyte receptor and rosette receptor. CD2 interacts with other adhesion molecules. Much of T-cell lymphoma and leukemia express CD2, so the prior art uses CD2 to discriminate these conditions from B-cell neoplasms.
