Description
【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、2型糖尿病性腎症の治療剤に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
糖尿病は成因から1型糖尿病と2型糖尿病に分類される。1型糖尿病は、糖尿病患者の約10%が該当し、インスリン依存性糖尿病(IDDM)とも言われる。自己免疫性病因発生の兆候によって特徴づけられ、ウイルス感染や自己免疫反応等によって引き起こされる膵臓ランゲルハンス氏島細胞の脱落により、インスリンの分泌が減少して生じる。一般的に若年発症型糖尿病はこのタイプで、ケトーシス傾向が強く、生命に危険が及ぶ可能性もある。2型糖尿病は、糖尿病患者のほとんどが該当し、インスリン非依存性糖尿病(NIDDM)とも言われる。近年生活水準の向上による食生活の欧米化、運動不足傾向の増加により、患者数が増加している。インスリンの作用に対する抵抗性、およびβ細胞の破壊を伴わない相対的なインスリン欠乏を特徴とし、一般に免疫介在性の病因を示さない。
糖尿病性腎症は、これら糖尿病の症状が継続され、慢性的な高血糖状態が持続されて発症する合併症である。臨床的には、タンパク尿、浮腫、高血圧、腎不全等の症状を呈する。組織学的な変化としては、まず、びまん性病変としてPAS陽性物質の蓄積による糸球体基底膜の肥厚とメサンギウム領域の拡大が観察され、更に進行するとやはりPAS陽性物質で構成される結節性病変が出現する。
【0003】
TGF−β阻害活性を有する低分子化合物の具体例としては、例えば特許文献1などに記載の化合物が知られている。
また、抗TGF−β中和抗体を2型糖尿病モデルマウスであるdb/dbマウスに腹腔内投与したところ、血清クレアチニン濃度の増加、尿クレアチニンクリアランスの減少、およびメサンギウム領域の拡大を抑制したことが報告されている(例えば、非特許文献1)。また、同論文では、同実験においてタンパク尿に対しては有効ではなかったことが記載されている。
以上の状況から、経口投与が可能な2型糖尿病性腎症の治療剤が望まれていた。

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、経口投与が可能な2型糖尿病性腎症の治療剤を提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意検討した結果、TGF−β阻害活性を有する分子量が600以下の低分子化合物が2型糖尿病性腎症、特にそのタンパク尿を治療することを見出し、本発明を完成した。本発明は以下の通りである。
[1] TGF−β阻害活性を有する分子量が600以下の低分子化合物を含有する2型糖尿病性腎症の経口用治療剤。
[2] TGF−β阻害活性を有する分子量が600以下の低分子化合物を含有する2型糖尿病性腎症におけるタンパク尿症状の経口用治療剤。
[3] 低分子化合物が線維芽細胞の細胞外基質産生阻害試験において10μMの濃度で少なくとも50%阻害する化合物である[1]または[2]記載の経口用治療剤。
[4] 低分子化合物が以下の部分構造および他の芳香環構造を有する[1]〜[3]のいずれか記載の経口用治療剤。

2型糖尿病性腎症モデルを用いた評価
db/dbマウスは肥満、糖尿病を自然発症するモデルとして知られているが、長期間飼育を継続することで腎機能が低下し、2型糖尿病性腎症モデルとなることが知られている。当該モデルを用いて、評価を行った。
雄性C57BL/KsJ−db/db(以下db/db)マウスを日本クレア(株)より6週齢で購入し、予備飼育の後、十分糖尿病が発症した9週齢の時点より実験を開始した。飼育室は温度20℃以上26℃以下、相対湿度30%以上70%以下に制御され、照明は12時間点灯(8:00〜20:00)、12時間消灯(20:00〜8:00)のサイクルで制御された。飼料はCE−2(日本クレア)を自由摂食させた。飲料水は滅菌水道水あるいは化合物を溶解させた水を自由摂取させた。
db/dbマウスの体重および長期の血糖コントロールの指標であるHbA1c(ヘモグロビンA1c)により、以下の4群に群分けした。ピロール誘導体は飲水中に溶解し、マウスに投与した。
1.対照群
2.低用量群:ピロール誘導体(1mg/kg)を投与した群
3.中用量群:ピロール誘導体(3mg/kg)を投与した群
4.高用量群:ピロール誘導体(10mg/kg)を投与した群
4ヶ月間投与した後、db/dbマウスを代謝ケージにて飼育し、尿を回収した。糖尿病性腎症の発症程度を尿中のアルブミン量を測定することにより評価した。尿中アルブミンは市販ELISAキット(Exocell社)を用いた。
【0019】
その結果を表1に示す。値は各群の平均値±標準偏差を示す(n=10〜12)。血糖値は4群間で差が認められないにも関わらず、尿中アルブミン排泄量は対照群と比較して、各用量群において顕著に低下していた。すなわち、ピロール誘導体等のTGF−β阻害活性を有する分子量が600以下の低分子化合物を投与することにより、血糖値は高いままであるにも関わらず、2型糖尿病性腎症のタンパク尿が治療され、その病変が改善され、2型糖尿病性腎症を治療できると考えられた。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Diabetes is classified into type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes based on its origin. Type 1 diabetes affects about 10% of diabetic patients and is also referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). It is characterized by signs of autoimmune etiology and is caused by a decrease in insulin secretion due to the shedding of pancreatic islets of Langerhans caused by viral infections and autoimmune reactions. Juvenile-onset diabetes is generally of this type, has a strong tendency to ketosis, and can be life-threatening. Type 2 diabetes applies to most diabetic patients and is also referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). In recent years, the number of patients has been increasing due to the westernization of dietary habits due to the improvement of living standards and the tendency of lack of exercise. It is characterized by resistance to the action of insulin and relative insulin deficiency without β-cell destruction and generally does not show immune-mediated etiology.
Diabetic nephropathy is a complication in which the symptoms of diabetes continue and a chronic hyperglycemic state persists. Clinically, they exhibit symptoms such as proteinuria, edema, hypertension, and renal failure. As histological changes, first, as a diffuse lesion, thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and expansion of the mesangial region due to accumulation of the PAS-positive substance were observed. Appear.
[0003]
As specific examples of low-molecular compounds having TGF-β inhibitory activity, for example, compounds described in Patent Document 1 and the like are known.
In addition, when an anti-TGF-β neutralizing antibody was administered intraperitoneally to db / db mice, which are type 2 diabetes model mice, it was found that serum creatinine concentration increased, urinary creatinine clearance decreased, and mesangial region expansion was suppressed. It has been reported (for example, Non-Patent Document 1). The same paper also states that the test was not effective against proteinuria.
Under the circumstances described above, a therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetic nephropathy that can be orally administered has been desired.

Test example 2
Evaluation db / db mice using a type 2 diabetic nephropathy model are known as a model that develops obesity and diabetes spontaneously. It is known to be a disease model. Evaluation was performed using the model.
Male C57BL / KsJ-db / db (hereinafter db / db) mice were purchased at 6 weeks of age from CLEA Japan, and preliminarily reared, and the experiment was started at the age of 9 weeks when sufficient diabetes developed. The breeding room is controlled at a temperature of 20 ° C. or more and 26 ° C. or less and a relative humidity of 30% or more and 70% or less, and the lighting is turned on for 12 hours (8:00 to 20:00) and turned off for 12 hours (20:00 to 8:00). Controlled in a cycle. As a feed, CE-2 (CLEA Japan) was freely fed. Drinking water was sterile tap water or water in which the compound was dissolved.
The mice were divided into the following four groups based on the weight of db / db mice and HbA1c (hemoglobin A1c), which is an indicator of long-term glycemic control. The pyrrole derivative was dissolved in drinking water and administered to mice.
1. Control group 2. Low dose group: group administered pyrrole derivative (1 mg / kg) 3. Middle dose group: group administered pyrrole derivative (3 mg / kg) 4. High-dose group: After administration for 4 months in the group to which the pyrrole derivative (10 mg / kg) was administered, db / db mice were bred in metabolic cages and urine was collected. The degree of onset of diabetic nephropathy was evaluated by measuring the amount of albumin in urine. For urinary albumin, a commercially available ELISA kit (Exocell) was used.
[0019]
Table 1 shows the results. The values indicate the mean ± standard deviation of each group (n = 10 to 12). The urinary albumin excretion was significantly lower in each dose group than in the control group, although the blood glucose level did not differ between the four groups. That is, by administering a low molecular weight compound having a TGF-β inhibitory activity such as a pyrrole derivative having a molecular weight of 600 or less, proteinuria of type 2 diabetic nephropathy can be treated even though the blood glucose level remains high. It was thought that the lesion was improved and that type 2 diabetic nephropathy could be treated.
