【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ヒトα1Aアドレナリン受容体の第271アミノ酸のアラニンをスレオニンに置換したα1Aアドレナリン受容体の新規変異体、当該α1Aアドレナリン受容体の変異体を用いたα1Aアドレナリン受容体アンタゴニストのインバースアゴニスト活性の測定方法および当該測定方法においてインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1Aアドレナリン受容体アンタゴニストを有効成分として含有する前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
α1 アドレナリン受容体(以下α1 −ARという)サブタイプについては、これまでに薬理学的研究および受容体遺伝子のクローニングによりα1Aアドレナリン受容体サブタイプ(以下α1A−ARという)、α1Bアドレナリン受容体サブタイプ(以下α1B−ARという)およびα1Dアドレナリン受容体サブタイプの3種のアドレナリン受容体サブタイプの存在が確認されている。
【0003】
種々の動物及びヒトの各種臓器におけるこれらのα1 −ARサブタイプの局在及び機能について多くの研究がなされ、ヒト前立腺組織にはα1A−ARが優位に存在し、α1A−AR選択的アンタゴニストがノルアドレナリン収縮を最もよく抑制することからヒト前立腺はα1A−ARを介して収縮すると考えられている。また、ヒトの末梢血管はα1B−ARを介して収縮することが報告されている(British Journal of Pharmacology, Vol. 113, pp. 723-728 (1994))。更に、ヒト大網動脈およびヒト腸間膜動脈もα1B−ARを介するとされている。
【0004】
最近、αアドレナリン受容体、βアドレナリン受容体、ヒスタミンH受容体を始めとするG蛋白質共役型受容体は、不活性型と活性型がある一定の平衡状態で存在し、活性型のみがプロテインキナーゼCなどの細胞内情報伝達系を介した生理反応を引き起こすことが報告されている。
【0005】
一方、これらの受容体に対するアゴニストおよびアンタゴニストの作用についても研究が行われており、アンタゴニストには不活性型と活性型の平衡状態に影響しないニュートラルアンタゴニストと平衡状態を不活性側に移動させるインバースアゴニストがあり、インバースアゴニスト活性の強いアンタゴニストを長期使用した場合は、一過性に細胞内情報伝達系が抑制された結果、代償性に受容体数が増加することが報告されている。
【0006】
例えば、胃・十二指腸潰瘍治療剤として知られているヒスタミンH2 受容体アンタゴニストのシメチジンやラニチジンはインバースアゴニストであるため、これらヒスタミンH2 受容体アンタゴニストを長期連用するとヒスタミンH2 受容体数が増加し、その結果、耐性発現(作用減弱)や使用中断により胃酸分泌亢進などのリバウンド現象を起こすことが問題点として指摘されている。このように、インバースアゴニストは耐性発現やリバウンド現象により予期せぬ症状を引き起こすため、医薬品として使用するアンタゴニストはニュートラルアンタゴニストが望ましいとして種々の研究がなされている。ヒスタミンH2 受容体の他にβ2 アドレナリン受容体やα1B−ARについても変異体を用いて種々の研究が活発に行われており、アンタゴニストの性質が受容体の活性を左右することが報告されている。(Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., Vol. 93, pp. 6802-6807 (1996); Biochem. J., Vol. 325, pp. 733-739 (1997))しかしながら、α1A−ARについてはこれまでニュートラルアンタゴニストかインバースアゴニストであるかを判定する実験手段自体が開発されていなかったため、今まで何ら報告がなされていない。
【0007】
ヒト前立腺の収縮はα1A−ARを介し、ヒト末梢血管の収縮はα1B−ARを介する事が報告されていることより、起立性低血圧などの副作用を軽減するため前立腺肥大症治療剤として選択的α1A−ARアンタゴニストが開発されているが、当該アンタゴニストがインバースアゴニストの場合は耐性発現による増量を余儀なくされることが懸念される。即ち、各臓器の主要な受容体の活性化状態が異なると、インバースアゴニスト活性を持つアンタゴニストの作用強度が臓器によって変化することが考えられ、場合によっては起立性低血圧などの副作用が強く発現するようになることが懸念される。
【0008】
特に、心臓においてもα1A−ARが発現していることが確認されており、α1 −AR刺激により心肥大が誘導されることが報告されている。α1A−ARは細胞内情報伝達経路の一つであるイノシトール1,4,5−三リン酸(以下IP3 という)を産生してプロテインキナーゼCを活性化させることが知られており、プロテインキナーゼC活性の亢進が心肥大誘導の一因を担っているものと考えられる。それ故、心筋細胞においてα1A−ARが増加すると、心肥大が起こる危険性が増大する。(血管と内皮,Vol. 5, No. 6, pp. 81-86 (1995);医学のあゆみ,Vol. 172, No. 3, pp.151-154 (1995);The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol. 271, No. 10, pp. 5839-5843 (1996))従って、α1A−ARアンタゴニストとして、インバースアゴニストを使用すると受容体数が増加した場合、心肥大の危険性が増加することが予想される。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、連用による耐性発現を抑え、また心肥大など他の臓器における副作用を回避することのできる前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤を提供することである。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明者らは、α1A−ARに関して鋭意研究を重ねた結果、インバースアゴニストとニュートラルアンタゴニストの判定に適したα1A−AR変異体を確立することができ、そのα1A−AR変異体を発現させたChinese Hamster Ovary(CHO)細胞を用いる事により、α1A−ARにおいてもインバースアゴニストとニュートラルアンタゴニストが存在する事を見出した。更に、当該CHO細胞を用いた実験でインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−AR対するニュートラルアンタゴニストが前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤として非常に優れた薬剤となり得ることを見出し、本発明を成すに至った。
【0011】
本発明者らは、α1A−ARの平衡状態を活性型優位にすべく研究した結果、野生型α1A−ARの271番目であるアミノ酸のアラニンをスレオニンに置換した466個のアミノ酸から構成されるα1A−AR変異体をCHO細胞に発現させ、細胞内IP3 量を測定したところ、野生型に比べIP3 量が顕著に上昇しており、活性型が優位であるα1A−AR変異体の確立に成功した(Biochem.Biophys.Res.Commun.,Vol.195,No.2,pp.902−909(1993);FEBS Letters,Vol.42,pp.279−283(1998))。
【0012】
更に、本発明者らは、上記α1A−AR変異体を発現させたCHO細胞を用いて実験することにより、細胞内IP3 量を減少させ、その結果としてα1A−AR数を増加させるインバースアゴニスト活性を示すアンタゴニストと、細胞内IP3 量およびα1A−AR数を変化させないニュートラルアンタゴニストを判定する事ができ、医薬品として有用なニュートラルアンタゴニストの開発が可能である事を見出した。
【0013】
そして、上記実験でインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−ARアンタゴニストは長期投与で耐性を発現せず、しかも心臓においてα1A−AR数を変化させず好適な前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤として期待できることを見出した。
【0014】
即ち、本発明者らが確立した活性型が優位にある上記α1A−AR変異体を発現させたCHO細胞を用いた実験において、α1A−ARに対して高親和性を示すプラゾシンは細胞内IP3 量を30%程度減少させ、その結果α1A−AR数を約3倍に増加させたのに対し、α1A−ARに対して高親和性を示す選択的な尿道平滑筋収縮抑制作用を有する排尿困難症治療剤として開発されたインドリン誘導体(特開平6−220015号公報)の中の一化合物である(−)−(R)−1−(3−ヒドロキシプロピル)−5−〔2−〔〔2−〔2−(2,2,2−トリフルオロエトキシ)フェノキシ〕エチル〕アミノ〕プロピル〕インドリン−7−カルボキサミド(以下KMD−3213という)はIP3 量には影響を与えず、α1A−AR数も変化させなかった。以上の事から、プラゾシンはα1A−ARに対して強いインバースアゴニスト活性を示すアンタゴニスト(インバースアゴニスト)であり、一方、KMD−3213はα1A−ARに対するインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないニュートラルアンタゴニストであることが確認された。
【0015】
次に、本発明者らは、上記α1A−ARに対するインバースアゴニストであるプラゾシンとα1A−ARに対するニュートラルアンタゴニストであるKMD−3213をラットを用いてインバースアゴニスト活性と耐性に関する相関性を確認すべく各被験薬物を4週間連続経口投与した後、フェニレフリン誘発尿道内圧上昇に対する阻害活性を各被験薬物の静脈内投与により検討したところ、プラゾシンは50%阻害量(ID50値)として対照群に比し約1.7倍の高値を示し、耐性を発現したのに対し、KMD−3213は耐性を発現しなかった。
【0016】
また、同様にラットを用いて塩酸プラゾシンおよびKMD−3213を2週間連続腹腔内投与して、心臓におけるα1A−AR発現に対する影響を調べたところ、プラゾシン連続投与群ではα1A−AR数は約1.7倍に増加した。一方、KMD−3213連続投与群ではα1A−AR数は変化しなかった。
【0017】
従って、α1A−AR変異体発現CHO細胞でインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−ARに対するニュートラルアンタゴニストは、連続投与によりフェニレフリン誘発尿道内圧上昇の阻害活性を減弱させないため、耐性が生じることなく、また薬物使用中断によるリバウンド現象を示すことがなく、前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤として極めて有用である。
【0018】
更に、上記α1A−ARに対するインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないニュートラルアンタゴニストは、心肥大との関連性が示されている心臓におけるα1A−AR数に関しても何ら影響を示さないことから、薬物使用中の耐性獲得および使用中断によるリバウンド現象などα1A−AR数増加に起因する心臓に対する副作用を回避できる。
【0019】
このように、本発明のα1A−AR変異体を用いる事により、このような前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤として有用なインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−ARに対するニュートラルアンタゴニストを開発することができる。
【0020】
本発明において、有効成分として含有されるインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−ARに対するアンタゴニストとは、全くインバースアゴニスト活性を示さないニュートラルアンタゴニストに限定されるものではなく、466個のアミノ酸から構成されるα1A−AR変異体を用いた本発明のインバースアゴニスト活性測定方法におけるプラゾシンによるα1A−AR数の増加量をインバースアゴニスト活性100%とした場合、実質的にα1A−ARに対する影響がないと考えられるインバースアゴニスト活性が概ね30%以下のアンタゴニストであればよく、概ね10%以下のアンタゴニストであれば更に好適である。KMD−3213のインバースアゴニスト活性は0%であり、極めて優れたニュートラルアンタゴニストとして挙げられる。
【0021】
また、KMD−3213はSD系ラットでの単回経口投与による毒性試験において、50%致死量(LD50値)が雌雄共に878mg/kgであり、特に重篤な副作用もなく、安全な化合物である。
【0022】
従って、インバースアゴニスト活性を示さないα1A−ARアンタゴニスト、例えば、KMD−3213またはその薬理学的に許容される塩を活性成分として含有させることにより、連用による耐性発現を抑え、また使用中断後の心肥大などの他の臓器における副作用を回避することのできる極めて好適な前立腺肥大に伴う排尿困難症治療剤を得る事が出来る。
【0023】

【実施例】
本発明の内容を以下の試験例および処方例でさらに詳細に説明するが、本発明はその内容に限定されるものではない。
【0034】
試験例1
α1A−AR変異体発現CHO細胞における細胞内IP3 の定量及びα1A−AR数の測定
▲1▼目的
ヒトα1A−AR変異体(ヒトα1A−ARの第3細胞内ループにある第271番目のアラニンをスレオニンに置換した466個のアミノ酸から構成される受容体)を発現したCHO細胞を用いて、塩酸プラゾシンおよびKMD−3213のα1A−AR活性に対する影響を細胞内IP3 量および受容体発現量を指標として検討した。
【0035】
▲2▼方法
ヒト前立腺cDNAライブラリーに対してウシα1A−AR遺伝子(333bp)をプローブとしてスクリーニングを行い、全長1.5kbpのヒトα1A−ARcDNA断片(5’非翻訳領域7bpおよび3’非翻訳領域≦100bpも含む)を単離した。また、α1A−AR変異体はmodified site−specific PCR法を用いて、得られたヒトα1A−AR(野生型)の第271アミノ酸のアラニンをスレオニンに置換することにより作製した。α1A−AR遺伝子は制限酵素EcoRIを用いて哺乳類発現ベクターpCR3に挿入し、リポフェクトアミン(GIBCO社製)を用いてCHO細胞に導入した。細胞は、500μg/mlのG−418の存在下、αMEM(10%ウシ胎児血清,100units/mlペニシリンG,100μg/ml硫酸ストレプトマイシンを含む)を用いて37℃で培養し、恒常的にα1A−ARを発現する細胞を得た。
【0036】
上述した方法によりα1A−ARを発現させたCHO細胞を各被験薬物(10-7M)存在下で37℃で16時間培養し、培養終了30分前に細胞をPBSで洗浄し、血清除去培地に交換した。その後、CHO細胞に0.8M過塩素酸処理を施し、氷上で30分間放置後、60mMのHEPES、60mMのEDTAを含む4M水酸化ナトリウムで中和し、遠心分離を行い沈渣を除去した。得られた細胞抽出液を用いてInositol−1,4,5−trisphosphate〔 3H〕Radioreceptor Assay Kit(NEN社製)により細胞内IP3 量を測定した。一方、受容体発現量を検討する実験においては、α1A−AR変異体を発現させたCHO細胞を各被験薬物(10-12 〜10-7M)の存在下で48時間37℃で培養した。その後、Assay buffer(Tris−HCl 50mM,EDTA 1mM,pH7.4)にて細胞を回収し、Sonicatorを用いて破砕し、80000xgで30分間遠心分離後、得られた沈渣をAssay bufferで懸濁して膜分画とした。膜分画(10μg protein/tube)を〔 3H〕−プラゾシン(10〜2000pM)共存下45分間30℃でインキュベーション後、Cell harvester(M−30T,Brandel社製)を用いて膜分画をGF/Cフィルター(Whatman社製)上に回収し、50mMのTris−HCl buffer(pH7.4)で数回洗浄後、液体シンチレーションカウンターを用いて結合量を測定した。非特異的結合は1μM塩酸タムスロシン存在下での結合とした。得られた実験結果を非線形近似プログラムPRISM(登録商標)(Graphpad Software社製)を用いて解析し、受容体量を算出した。
【0037】
▲3▼結果
野生型と比べて変異体を発現した細胞は細胞内IP3 量が上昇しており、α1A−AR変異体では活性型が優位であることが確認された。この様なα1A−AR変異体を用いた実験において、塩酸プラゾシン処置は細胞内IP3 量を減少させ、受容体発現量を増加させたが、KMD−3213処置では細胞内IP3 量および受容体量いずれにおいても影響が認められなかった。また、KMD−3213は塩酸プラゾシンのIP3 減少作用に拮抗した。このことから、α1A−ARにおいてプラゾシンはインバースアゴニストとして、KMD−3213はニュートラルアンタゴニストとして作用していることが判明した。

試験例2
ラットの尿道内圧に対するα1 −ARアンタゴニストの影響
▲1▼目的
SD系雄性ラットを用いたフェニレフリン誘発尿道内圧上昇に対するKMD−3213及び塩酸プラゾシンの抑制作用の程度を各被験薬物非投与群と4週間連続投与群で比較検討した。
【0041】
▲2▼方法
最低6日間の検疫後、KMD−3213及び塩酸プラゾシンを0.5%メチルセルロース水溶液に懸濁または溶解し、各300μg/kgの用量で28日間連続経口投与した。また、それぞれの被験薬物投与群(KMD−3213連続投与群,プラゾシン連続投与群)に対して0.5%メチルセルロース水溶液のみを投与した対照群を設けた。最終投薬日の2日後、ラットをウレタン(1.25g/kg,腹腔内投与)で麻酔した。下腹部切開を施し、尿道に沿って恥骨結合部を切開した。膀胱頂部より生理的食塩水を満たしたカニューレ(ポリエチレンチューブNo.5,ヒビキ社製)を挿入し、先端部を前立腺部尿道に位置するよう留置した。さらに、膀胱頸部および遠位尿道部を結紮した。尿道内圧はカニューレ後端に接続した圧力トランスデューサー(DT−XX,オメダ株式会社製)および変換器増幅ユニット(1829,日本電気三栄株式会社製)を介して測定し、レコーダー(RECTI−HORIZ−8K又はRT−3200N,日本電気三栄株式会社製)上に記録した。尿道内圧上昇は、塩酸フェニレフリン(30μg/kg)を左大腿部静脈よりシリンジポンプ(Model 100,室町機械株式会社製)を用いて36ml/hrの速度で注入する事により惹起した。
【0042】
KMD−3213連続投与群では静脈内投与のKMD−3213の尿道内圧上昇抑制作用、プラゾシン連続投与群では静脈内投与の塩酸プラゾシンの尿道内圧上昇抑制作用を検討した。被験薬物を右大腿静脈より用量増加法により1時間ごとに投与(KMD−3213:0.3,1,3および10μg/kg;塩酸プラゾシン:1,3,10および30μg/kg)し、各用量投与5分後に尿道内圧上昇を惹起して被験薬物投与前の尿道内圧上昇値と比較した。これより、各投与用量の尿道内圧上昇抑制率を算出し、その用量−抑制曲線よりID50値(被験薬物投与前の尿道内圧上昇反応を50%抑制する被験薬物の投与用量)を算出して、それぞれの対照群におけるID50値と比較した。尚、KMD−3213連続投与群およびその対照群はKMD−3213二臭化水素酸塩を乳酸リンゲル液に溶解して静脈内投与し、プラゾシン連続投与群およびその対照群は塩酸プラゾシンを生理食塩水に溶解して静脈内投与した。
【0043】
▲3▼結果
α1A−ARに対するニュートラルアンタゴニストであるKMD−3213連続投与群のID50値は対照群に比し増加は示さなかった。一方、α1A−ARに対するインバースアゴニストであるプラゾシン連続投与群では対照群に比し約1.7倍の高値を示した。

ラット心臓のα1A−AR発現に対するα1 −ARアンタゴニストの影響
▲1▼目的
ラット心臓におけるα1A−AR発現量に対する塩酸プラゾシンおよびKMD−3213投与の影響を被験薬物非投与群と2週間連続投与群で比較検討した。
【0046】
▲2▼方法
Wistar系雄性ラット(7週齢)に各被験薬物2mg/kgを14日間腹腔内投与した。投与終了から24時間後、心臓を摘出し、buffer(Tris−HCl 50mM,NaCl 100mM,EDTA 2mM,pH7.4)内で細断後、Polytronを用いてホモジナイズし、ガーゼでろ過した。ろ過した上清は80000xgで30分間遠心分離後、沈渣をAssay buffer(Tris−HCl 50mM,EDTA 1mM,pH7.4)に懸濁して再び80000xgで30分間遠心分離し、得られた沈渣をAssay bufferで再懸濁して膜分画とした。〔 3H〕−KMD−3213(10〜2000pM)および膜分画(200μg protein/tube)を30℃で45時間インキュベーション後、Cell harvester(M−30T,Brandel社製)を用いて膜分画をGF/Cフィルター(Whatman社製)上に回収し、50mMのTris−HCl buffer(pH7.4)で数回洗浄後、液体シンチレーションカウンターを用いて結合量を測定した。非特異的結合は1μM塩酸タムスロシン存在下での結合とした。得られた実験結果を非線形近似プログラムPRISM(登録商標)(Graphpad Software社製)を用いて解析し、α1A−AR数を算出した。
【0047】
▲3▼結果
塩酸プラゾシン2週間連続投与はラット心臓におけるα1A−AR数を1.7倍に増加させたのに対し、KMD−3213連続投与はα1A−AR数に影響を与えなかった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to human α 1A Alanine of the 271st amino acid of the adrenergic receptor is replaced with threonine α 1A A novel variant of the adrenergic receptor, α 1A Α using an adrenergic receptor mutant 1A Method for measuring inverse agonist activity of adrenergic receptor antagonist and α not showing inverse agonist activity in the measurement method 1A The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with prostatic hypertrophy containing an adrenergic receptor antagonist as an active ingredient.
[0002]
[Prior art]
α 1 Adrenergic receptor (α 1 For the subtype (AR), α has been obtained through pharmacological studies and receptor gene cloning. 1A Adrenergic receptor subtype (α 1A -AR), α 1B Adrenergic receptor subtype (α 1B -AR) and α 1D The presence of three adrenergic receptor subtypes has been confirmed.
[0003]
These α in various animal and human organs 1 -Many studies have been done on the localization and function of the AR subtype, and human prostate tissue 1A -AR is dominant, α 1A The human prostate is alpha because AR selective antagonists best suppress noradrenaline contraction 1A -It is believed to contract through the AR. In addition, human peripheral blood vessels 1B -It has been reported to contract via AR (British Journal of Pharmacology, Vol. 113, pp. 723-728 (1994)). In addition, human omental artery and human mesenteric artery are 1B -It is supposed to be via AR.
[0004]
Recently, G protein-coupled receptors such as α-adrenergic receptor, β-adrenergic receptor, and histamine H receptor exist in a certain equilibrium state, inactive and active forms, and only active forms are protein kinases. It has been reported to cause a physiological response via an intracellular information transmission system such as C.
[0005]
On the other hand, studies have also been conducted on the effects of agonists and antagonists on these receptors. Neutral antagonists that do not affect the equilibrium state of the inactive type and active type antagonists and inverse agonists that shift the equilibrium state to the inactive side It has been reported that when an antagonist with strong inverse agonist activity is used for a long period of time, the number of receptors increases compensably as a result of transiently suppressing the intracellular signal transduction system.
[0006]
For example, histamine H, which is known as a therapeutic agent for gastric / duodenal ulcer 2 Since the receptor antagonists cimetidine and ranitidine are inverse agonists, these histamine H 2 Histamine H after long-term use of a receptor antagonist 2 It has been pointed out as a problem that the number of receptors increases, and as a result, rebound phenomena such as increased gastric acid secretion occur due to the development of tolerance (attenuation of action) and interruption of use. Thus, since inverse agonists cause unexpected symptoms due to the development of resistance and rebound phenomenon, various studies have been conducted on the assumption that neutral antagonists are desirable as antagonists used as pharmaceuticals. Histamine H 2 Β in addition to receptors 2 Adrenergic receptors and alpha 1B Various studies have also been actively conducted on mutants using -AR, and it has been reported that the properties of antagonists affect the activity of receptors. (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA., Vol. 93, pp. 6802-6807 (1996); Biochem. J., Vol. 325, pp. 733-739 (1997)) However, α 1A -Until now, no experimental means for determining whether it is a neutral antagonist or an inverse agonist has been developed so far, and thus no reports have been made so far.
[0007]
The contraction of the human prostate is α 1A -Contraction of human peripheral blood vessels via α 1B -Since it has been reported that it is mediated through AR, it is selectively used as a treatment for prostatic hypertrophy to reduce side effects such as orthostatic hypotension. 1A -Although an AR antagonist has been developed, there is a concern that if the antagonist is an inverse agonist, the dose is increased due to the development of resistance. That is, if the activation state of the main receptor in each organ is different, the action strength of the antagonist having inverse agonist activity may vary depending on the organ, and in some cases, side effects such as orthostatic hypotension are strongly expressed. There is concern about becoming.
[0008]
Especially in the heart 1A -It has been confirmed that AR is expressed, α 1 -It has been reported that cardiac hypertrophy is induced by AR stimulation. α 1A -AR is inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate (hereinafter referred to as IP) which is one of intracellular signal transduction pathways. Three It is known that protein kinase C is activated and the increase in protein kinase C activity is considered to contribute to the induction of cardiac hypertrophy. Therefore, α 1A -When AR increases, the risk of cardiac hypertrophy increases. (Vessel and Endothelial, Vol. 5, No. 6, pp. 81-86 (1995); History of Medicine, Vol. 172, No. 3, pp. 151-154 (1995); The Journal of Biological Chemistry, Vol 271, No. 10, pp. 5839-5843 (1996)) 1A As an AR antagonist, the use of inverse agonists is expected to increase the risk of cardiac hypertrophy when the number of receptors increases.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with prostatic hypertrophy that can suppress the development of tolerance due to continuous use and can avoid side effects in other organs such as cardiac hypertrophy.
[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
We have α 1A -As a result of earnest research on AR, α suitable for determination of inverse agonist and neutral antagonist 1A -AR mutants can be established and their α 1A -By using Chinese Hamster Over (CHO) cells expressing the AR mutant, 1A -We have found that there are also inverse agonists and neutral antagonists in AR. Furthermore, α that does not show inverse agonist activity in experiments using the CHO cells 1A The present inventors have found that a neutral antagonist for AR can be a very excellent drug as a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
[0011]
We have α 1A -As a result of studying the equilibrium state of AR to make active type dominant, wild type α 1A -Α composed of 466 amino acids obtained by substituting threonine for alanine of amino acid 271 of AR 1A -AR mutants are expressed in CHO cells and intracellular IP Three When the amount was measured, IP compared to the wild type Three The amount is significantly increased and the active form is dominant α 1A -Successful establishment of AR variants (Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun., Vol. 195, No. 2, pp. 902-909 (1993); FEBS Letters, Vol. 42, pp. 279-283 (1998) )).
[0012]
Furthermore, the present inventors have made the above α 1A -Intracellular IP by experimenting with CHO cells expressing AR mutants Three Decrease the amount and consequently α 1A An antagonist exhibiting inverse agonist activity to increase the number of ARs and intracellular IP Three Quantity and α 1A -A neutral antagonist that does not change the number of ARs can be determined, and it has been found that a neutral antagonist useful as a pharmaceutical can be developed.
[0013]
In the above experiment, α does not show inverse agonist activity. 1A -AR antagonists do not develop tolerance with long-term administration and are 1A -It has been found that it can be expected as a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with prostatic hypertrophy without changing the AR number.
[0014]
That is, the above-mentioned α that the active form established by the present inventors is dominant. 1A In experiments using CHO cells expressing AR mutants, α 1A -Prazosin with high affinity for AR is intracellular IP Three Reduce the amount by about 30%, resulting in α 1A -Increased the number of AR by about 3 times, while α 1A -A compound among indoline derivatives (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-220015) developed as a dysuria therapeutic agent having a selective urethral smooth muscle contraction inhibitory action exhibiting high affinity for AR (- )-(R) -1- (3-hydroxypropyl) -5- [2-[[2- [2- (2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) phenoxy] ethyl] amino] propyl] indoline-7- Carboxamide (hereinafter referred to as KMD-3213) is IP Three Does not affect the amount, α 1A -The number of AR was not changed. From the above, prazosin is α 1A -An antagonist (inverse agonist) showing strong inverse agonist activity against AR, whereas KMD-3213 is an α 1A -It was confirmed to be a neutral antagonist that does not show inverse agonist activity against AR.
[0015]
Next, the present inventors have made the above α 1A -Prazosin and α which are inverse agonists for AR 1A -KMD-3213, a neutral antagonist to AR, was administered orally for 4 weeks to confirm the correlation between inverse agonist activity and tolerance in rats, and then the inhibitory activity against phenylephrine-induced increase in urethral pressure was observed in each test. When examined by intravenous administration of the drug, prazosin is 50% inhibitory (ID 50 Value) was about 1.7 times higher than the control group, and developed resistance, whereas KMD-3213 did not develop resistance.
[0016]
Similarly, prazosin hydrochloride and KMD-3213 were intraperitoneally administered continuously for 2 weeks using rats, and α 1A -When the effect on AR expression was examined, α was observed in the prazosin continuous administration group. 1A -The number of AR increased about 1.7 times. On the other hand, in the KMD-3213 continuous administration group, α 1A -The AR number did not change.
[0017]
Therefore, α 1A -Α not showing inverse agonist activity in CHO cells expressing AR mutant 1A -Neutral antagonists to AR do not attenuate the inhibition activity of phenylephrine-induced increase in urethral pressure by continuous administration, so that resistance does not occur and rebound phenomenon due to drug use interruption does not occur, and treatment for dysuria associated with prostatic hypertrophy It is extremely useful as an agent.
[0018]
Furthermore, α 1A -Neutral antagonists that do not show inverse agonist activity against AR are those in the heart that have been shown to be associated with cardiac hypertrophy 1A -Since there is no effect on the number of ARs, it is possible to obtain resistance during drug use and rebound phenomenon due to use interruption. 1A -Avoid side effects on the heart due to increased AR numbers.
[0019]
Thus, the α of the present invention 1A By using the AR mutant, α does not exhibit an inverse agonist activity useful as a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with prostatic hypertrophy. 1A -Neutral antagonists for AR can be developed.
[0020]
In the present invention, α which does not show inverse agonist activity contained as an active ingredient 1A -An antagonist for AR is not limited to a neutral antagonist that does not exhibit any inverse agonist activity, and is an α composed of 466 amino acids. 1A -Α by prazosin in the method for measuring inverse agonist activity of the present invention using AR mutant 1A -When the increase in the number of ARs is defined as 100% inverse agonist activity, 1A An antagonist with an inverse agonist activity that is considered to have no influence on AR may be about 30% or less, and more preferably about 10% or less. KMD-3213 has an inverse agonist activity of 0%, and can be cited as an extremely excellent neutral antagonist.
