Description

本発明は、多発性骨髄腫の治療剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma.

多発性骨髄腫(MM:Multiple Myeloma)は、形質細胞(血液細胞の一つ)が癌化した骨髄腫細胞が主に骨髄中で異常増殖する疾患である。骨髄腫細胞の異常増殖により、造血抑制に伴う貧血、感染症、出血傾向など、Mタンパク(異常免疫グロブリン)産生に伴う腎障害、血液循環障害など、あるいは、骨破壊によって骨痛、骨折、高カルシウム血症などの症状を引き起こす。
多発性骨髄腫の治療は薬物療法が中心である。従来用いられているメルファランなどの抗がん剤とステロイド剤に加えて、現在では、さまざまな薬剤を適切に組み合わせた治療が行われている。そのような薬剤としては、例えばプロテアソーム阻害薬:ボルテゾミブ、カルフィルゾミブ、イキサゾミブ、免疫調整薬:レナリドミド、サリドマイド、ポマリドミド、抗体医薬:エロツズマブ、ダラツムマブなどがある。
これらの薬剤のなかでも、ボルテゾミブがkey drugとして用いられるが、治療を受けた症例の約70〜80%がボルテゾミブ耐性となり重篤な状態になると推定されている。
従って、多発性骨髄腫、さらには再発・難治性の多発性骨髄腫に対する安全で有効な治療剤が求められている。
Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a disease in which myeloma cells, in which plasma cells (one of the blood cells) have become cancerous, proliferate mainly in the bone marrow. Abnormal proliferation of myeloma cells causes anemia, infections, bleeding tendency associated with hematopoiesis suppression, renal disorders associated with M protein (abnormal immunoglobulin) production, blood circulation disorders, etc., or bone pain, fractures, hypercalcemia due to bone destruction. Causes symptoms such as hypercalcemia.
Treatment of multiple myeloma is centered on drug therapy. In addition to the conventionally used anticancer agents such as melphalan and steroids, treatments are now being performed with an appropriate combination of various agents. Such agents include, for example, proteasome inhibitors: bortezomib, carfilzomib, ixazomib, immunomodulators: lenalidomide, thalidomide, pomalidomide, antibody drugs: elotuzumab, daratumumab and the like.
Among these drugs, bortezomib is used as a key drug, but it is estimated that about 70 to 80% of treated cases become bortezomib resistant and become seriously ill.
Therefore, there is a need for a safe and effective therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma and relapsed / refractory multiple myeloma.

クルクミンは、近年、腫瘍形成阻害作用、抗酸化作用、抗炎症作用、コレステロール低下作用、抗アレルギー作用、脳疾患予防作用、心疾患予防治療作用などの薬理作用を有することが明らかとなり、食品(例えば、機能性食品)、医薬品や化粧品などへの利用が検討されている。
クルクミンと多発性骨髄腫との関連性については、「クルクミンによるヒト多発性骨髄腫の治療」として、4つの多発性骨髄腫細胞株(U266、RPMI8226、MM.1およびMM.1R)を用い、クルクミンは多発性骨髄腫細胞によって発現する恒常的なNF-κB を抑制したこと、またクルクミンはビンクリスチンの細胞毒性効果を増強したとの報告がある(特許文献1)。しかしながら、この特許文献1には、クルクミンによる多発性骨髄腫治療に関するin vivoデータなど、具体的な作用効果は全く開示されていない。
一方、クルクミンを水溶性物質(例えばグルクロン酸、硫酸、グルタチオンおよびアミノ酸など)との抱合体とし、この抱合体を有効成分とする非経口投与用医薬治療剤が、水難溶性なクルクミンの吸収性を改善した結果、クルクミンが有する抗腫瘍作用などの薬理作用が十分に得られることが報告されている(特許文献2)。
In recent years, it has been clarified that curcumin has pharmacological actions such as tumorigenesis inhibitory action, antioxidant action, anti-inflammatory action, cholesterol lowering action, antiallergic action, brain disease preventive action, and heart disease preventive and therapeutic action, and foods (for example, , Functional foods), pharmaceuticals and cosmetics are being considered for use.
Regarding the association between curcumin and multiple myeloma, four multiple myeloma cell lines (U266, RPMI8226, MM.1 and MM.1R) were used as "treatment of human multiple myeloma with curcumin". It has been reported that curcumin suppressed the constitutive NF-κB expressed by multiple myeloma cells, and that curcumin enhanced the cytotoxic effect of bincristine (Patent Document 1). However, Patent Document 1 does not disclose any specific action or effect, such as in vivo data on the treatment of multiple myeloma with curcumin.
On the other hand, a pharmaceutical therapeutic agent for parenteral administration containing curcumin as a conjugate with a water-soluble substance (for example, glucuronic acid, sulfuric acid, glutathione, amino acid, etc.) and containing this conjugate as an active ingredient can absorb curcumin which is poorly soluble in water. As a result of the improvement, it has been reported that sufficient pharmacological actions such as antitumor action of curcumin can be obtained (Patent Document 2).

以下,本発明を実施するための形態について説明する。本発明は,以下に説明する形態に限定されるものではなく,以下の形態から当業者が自明な範囲で適宜修正したものも含む。 Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described. The present invention is not limited to the forms described below, but also includes those which are appropriately modified by those skilled in the art from the following forms to the extent obvious to those skilled in the art.

クルクミンは、ウコン色素に含まれるクルクミノイドの主成分であり、下記構造式(1)で表される化合物である。 Curcumin is the main component of curcuminoid contained in turmeric pigment, and is a compound represented by the following structural formula (1).

Figure 2021123530
Figure 2021123530

本発明のクルクミン類は、クルクミンおよびその誘導体から選ばれる1種以上である。クルクミンの誘導体としては、ビスデメトキシクルクミン、デメトキシクルクミンおよびテトラヒドロクルクミンが挙げられる。
本発明においてクルクミンは、化学合成されたクルクミンを用いてもよいし、ウコン色素として流通しているものを用いてもよい。ウコン色素としては、ショウガ科ウコン(Curcuma longa LINNE)の根茎の乾燥物を粉末にしたウコン末、該ウコン末を適当な溶媒(例えば、エタノール、油脂、プロピレングリコール、ヘキサン、アセトンなど)を用いて抽出して得られる粗製クルクミン或いはオレオレジン(ターメリックオレオレジン)、および精製したクルクミンを挙げることができる。
なお、クルクミンには、互変異性体であるケト型およびエノール型のいずれも含まれる。
The curcumins of the present invention are one or more selected from curcumin and its derivatives. Derivatives of curcumin include bisdemethoxycurcumin, demethoxycurcumin and tetrahydrocurcumin.
In the present invention, as the curcumin, chemically synthesized curcumin may be used, or those commercially available as a turmeric pigment may be used. As the turmeric pigment, turmeric powder obtained by powdering the dried rhizome of Curcuma longa LINE, and the turmeric powder using an appropriate solvent (for example, ethanol, fat, propylene glycol, hexane, acetone, etc.) are used. Examples thereof include crude curcumin or oleoresin (turmeric oleoresin) obtained by extraction, and purified curcumin.
In addition, curcumin includes both keto type and enol type which are tautomers.

Moreover, the therapeutic agent obtained by dissolving or suspending a sterile solid therapeutic agent in sterile water or an injection solvent before use can also be used as these preparations. These preparations can be produced by a known method usually used in the preparation process.

本発明の治療剤は、他の多発性骨髄腫治療薬(他の抗がん剤)と組み合わせて投与することができる。この場合、組み合わせての投与とは、両薬剤が単一製剤中に含まれた製剤が投与されてもよく、またそれぞれが別々に製剤化され、別々に投与されても良い。別々に製剤化される場合、その投与時期は特に限定されない。それらの投与は、同一回数となる場合もあり、異なる回数となる場合もある。また、それぞれが別々に製剤化される場合、各製剤の投与方法(投与経路)は同じであってもよく、異なる投与方法(投与経路)で投与されてもよい。また、両薬剤が同時に体内に存在する必要は無く、ある一定期間(例えば一ヶ月間、好ましくは1週間、さらに好ましくは数日間、さらにより好ましくは1日間)の間に体内に取り込まれていればよく、いずれかの投与時にもう一方の有効成分が体内から消失していてもよい。
本発明においては、2種の異なる製剤とした場合は、それらを含むキットとすることもできる。
The therapeutic agent of the present invention can be administered in combination with another therapeutic agent for multiple myeloma (another anticancer agent). In this case, the combined administration may be a preparation in which both agents are contained in a single preparation, or each may be separately formulated and administered separately. When they are formulated separately, the timing of administration is not particularly limited. The doses may be the same or different. In addition, when each is formulated separately, the administration method (administration route) of each preparation may be the same, or may be administered by a different administration method (administration route). In addition, both drugs do not have to be present in the body at the same time, and should be taken into the body for a certain period of time (for example, one month, preferably one week, more preferably several days, even more preferably one day). However, the other active ingredient may have disappeared from the body at the time of administration of either one.
In the present invention, when two different preparations are used, a kit containing them can also be used.

Example 1
(Tumor regression effect of multiple myeloma in mice by curcumin monoglucuronide)
A. Preparation of Multiple Bone Marrow Cell Line Transplanted Mice As test animals, NOD Scid mice (female 6 weeks old, Japanese Charles River, body weight about 20 g) were environmentally acclimated for 7 days.
Subcutaneously of the test animals, 1 × 10 7 of KMS11 / BTZ (bortezomib resistant multiple myeloma cell line, JCRB) were transplanted.
B. Administration method The drug administration was started 2 weeks after the transplantation to the above-mentioned multiple bone marrow cell line transplanted mice (n = 6).
The drug administration was 30 mg / kg 3 times / week for curcumin monoglucuronide, 3 times / week for 90 mg / kg, or 1 mg / kg twice / week for bortezomib, distilled water for curcumin monoglucuronide, and DMSO for bortezomib. The solution dissolved in PBS was intraperitoneally administered as an injection. As a control group, each solvent was used.
C. Tumor size evaluation method The tumor size of the test animal was calculated by the following formula by measuring the major axis and minor axis of the tumor using calipers every 7 days.
Tumor size = major axis x minor axis x minor axis ÷ 2.

投与開始(Day0)からDay7、Day14、およびDay21の時点で、マウスの腫瘍サイズ(Tumor volume)と体重(Body weight)を測定し、結果を図1および図2に示した。 Tumor volume and body weight of mice were measured from the start of administration (Day 0) to Day 7, Day 14, and Day 21, and the results are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

図1から、ボルテゾミブ投与による効果がほとんどないにもかかわらず、本発明の90mg/kgクルクミンモノグルクロニドの投与によって、ボルテゾミブ耐性多発性骨髄腫の腫瘍の退縮が有意に起きたことがわかる(p<0.05)。また、クルクミンモノグルクロニドの投与量30mg/kgとした場合にも、有意の腫瘍退縮効果が確認された(p<0.05)。
さらに、図2から、クルクミンモノグルクロニドの投与は、副作用が少なく安全であることが分かる。
From FIG. 1, it can be seen that the administration of 90 mg / kg curcumin monoglucuronide of the present invention significantly caused tumor regression of bortezomib-resistant multiple myeloma, although the administration of bortezomib had little effect (p <. 0.05). A significant tumor regression effect was also confirmed when the dose of curcumin monoglucuronide was 30 mg / kg (p <0.05).
Furthermore, it can be seen from FIG. 2 that the administration of curcumin monoglucuronide is safe with few side effects.
