Description

COMPOSITIONS AND USES OF SMALL SULFONAMIDE MOLECULE FOR HAIR GROWTH DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This application is a continuation in part of the US Patent Application No. 08 / 869,426, filed on June 4, 1997, the full contents of the which are incorporated herein by reference. This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treating alopecia and promoting hair growth using molecule sulfonamides • small low molecular weight. Hair loss occurs in a variety of situations. These situations include male alopecia, alopecia senilis, alopecia areata, diseases accompanied by basic skin lesions or tumors, and systemic disorders such as nutritional disorders and internal secretion disorders. The mechanisms that cause hair loss are very complicated, but in some cases they can be ^ attributed to aging, genetic application, the activation of male hormones, loss of blood supply to hair follicles, and abnormalities of the scalp. The immunosuppressant drugs FK506, rapamycin and cyclosporin are well known as potent T cell-specific immunosuppressants, and are effective against the ^^^^ ** ^^ * graft rejection after organ transplantation. It has been reported that the topical, but non-oral application of FK506 (Yammamoto et al., J. Invest. Dermatol., 1994, 102, 160-164; • Jiang et al., J. Invest. Dermatol. 1995, 104, 523-525) and cyclosporin (I abuchi et al., J. Dermatol, Sci. 1995, 9, 64-69) stimulates hair growth in a dose-dependent manner. A form of hair loss, alopecia areata, is known to be associated with autoimmune activities; either, immunomodulatory compounds administered topically are expected to demonstrate effectiveness in addressing that type of • loss of hair. The effects of hair growth stimulation of FK506 have been the subject of an international patent file covering KF506 and structures related to them for the stimulation of hair growth (Honbo et al. al., EP 0 423 714 A2). Honbo et al., Describes the use of relatively large tricyclic compounds, known for their immunosuppressive effects as agents that revitalize hair. • Hair growth and the effects of The revitalization of FK506 and related agents are described in many US Patents (Goulet et al., US Patent No. 5,258,389, Luly et al., US Patent No. 5,457,111 Goulet et al., US Patent No. 5,532,248 Goulet et al., Patent North American No. 5,189,042 and Ok et al., Patent «^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Rupprecht et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,284,840; Organ et al., US Patent No. 5,284,877). These patents claim the • related compounds of FK506. Although they do not claim the 5 methods of hair revitalization, they describe the known use of FK506 for effective hair growth. Compounds similar to FK506 (and the variations in the Honbo et al. Patent) claimed in these patents are relatively large. In addition, the patents cited are relate to immunomodulatory compounds for use in • autoimmune related diseases, for which the efficacy of FK506 is well known. Other North American patents describe the use of cyclosporine and related compounds for revitalization of hair (Hauer et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,342,625; Eberle, U.S. Patent No. 5,284,826; Hewitt et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,996,193). These patents also relate to compounds useful for the treatment of diseases and cite the known use of cyclosporin and related immunosuppressant compounds for hair growth. However, the immunosuppressant compounds for the application suppress the immune system and also exhibit other toxic side effects. Therefore, there is a need for small non-immunosuppressive molecule compounds that are useful as hair revitalizing compounds. Hamilton and Steiner describe in the Patent • North American No. 5,614,547 novel 5-pyrrolidine carboxylate compounds that bind to FKBP12 immunophilin and stimulate nerve growth, but which lack immunosuppressive effects. Unexpectedly, s «; has discovered that these non-immunosuppressive compounds cause hair growth with an efficacy similar to FK506. Even their novel small molecule structure and non-immunosuppressive properties differ from FK506 and the related immunosuppressant compounds are found in the prior art. The present invention relates to a method for treating alopecia or causing hair growth in an animal, which comprises administering to the animal an effective amount of a small sulfonamide molecule. The present invention is additionally related to # a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) an effective amount of a small sulfonamide molecule to treat alopecia or cause hair growth in an animal; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Small molecules of sulfonamides used in the inventive methods and pharmaceutical compositions can be immunosuppressive, but are preferably non-suppressive compounds, which have an affinity for immunophilins of the FKBP type, particularly FKBP12. The compounds do not ^ SP immunosuppressants, as their name suggests, do not exert any significant immunosuppressive activity.

"Alopecia" refers to poor growth of the hair and to the partial or complete hair loss, including without limitation androgenic alopecia (male baldness), toxic alopecia, alopecia senilis, alopecia areata, peeled alopecia and trichotillomania. Alopecia results when the pillar cycle is disrupted. The most Frequent is a shortening of hair growth or anagen phase due to the cessation of cell proliferation. This results in an early onset of the catagen phase, and consequently a large number of hairs in the telogen phase during which the follicles are released from the papilla skin, and the hairs fall off. Alopecia has a number of etiologies, including genetic factors, aging, local and systemic diseases, febrile conditions, mental tensions, hormonal problems and drug side effects. "GPI 1044" refers to the compound wherein B is 3-Phenylpropyl, D is 3-Phenylpropyl, and L is Phenyl. "GPI 1102" refers to 4-phenyl-1- (3-phenylpropyl) butyl 1- (3, 3-dimethyl-2-oxopentanoyl) -2- 10 piperidinecarboxylate. "GPI 1116" refers to 1-phenethyl-3-phenylpropyl-1- (3, 3-dimethyl-2-oxopentanoyl) -2-piperidinecarboxylate. • "GPI 1206" refers to a compound of the formula &] £ s * i fcJ »ri tt¿fc * -" Isomers "refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula. "Stereoisomers are isomers that differ only in the way atoms • are placed in space. "Enantiomers" are a pair of 5 stereoisomers that are reflections that are not superimposed on one another. "Diastereoisomers" are stereoisomers that are not reflections of one another. "Racemic mixture" means a mixture containing equal parts of individual enantiomers. "Non-racemic mixture" is a mixture containing parts Unequal amounts of individual enantiomers or stereoisomers.
"Pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or solvate" refers to a salt, ester or solvate of an object compound that possesses the pharmacologically desired activity and which is neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable. A salt, ester, Or solvate can be formed with inorganic acids such as acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorrate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanepropionate, digluconate, • dodecyl sulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, gluconate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, iodhydrate, 2- hydroxyethane sulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, naphthylate, 2-naphthalenesulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, sulfate, thiocyanate, tosylate and undecanoate. Examples of base salts, esters or solvates include ammonium salts; alkali metal salts, such as sodium and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, such as calcium and magnesium salts; salts with organic bases, such as salts of dicyclohexylamine; WM N-methyl-D-glucamine; and salts with amino acids, such as arginine, lysine and etcetera. Also, the basic groups containing nitrogen can be quaternized with such agents as lower alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides; dialkyl sulfates, such as dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl and diamyl sulfates; long chain halides, such as decyl chlorides, lauryl, myristyl, and stearyl, bromides, and iodides; aralkyl halides, such as benzyl and phenethyl bromides; and others. Products soluble or dispersible in water or oil are therefore obtained. 15"Pillar cycle" refers to the life cycle of the hair follicles, and includes three phases: (1) the anagen phase, the active growth period of the hair which, as far as possible, as scalp B is worrisome, at least approximately three to five years; 20 (2) the catagen phase, the period when the growth stops and the atrophies of the follicle that, as much as possible as a scalp is worrisome, at least approximately one to two weeks; and (3) the telogen phase, the remaining period when the hair is progressively separated and finally the fall, which as far as possible as a scalp is worrisome, at least approximately three to four months. Normally 80 to 90 percent of the follicles • are in the anagen phase, less than 1 percent are in the catagen phase, and the rest are in the telogen phase. In the telogen phase, the hair is uniform in diameter with a slightly bulbous non-pigmented root. In contrast, in the phase I anagen, the hair has a large colored bulb at its root. "Promotion of hair growth" refers to maintain, induce, stimulate, accelerate, or revitalize • I hair germination. "Treating alopecia" refers to: (i) preventing alopecia in an animal that may be predisposed to alopecia; and / or 15 (ii) inhibit, retard or reduce to Lopecia; and / or (iii) causing hair growth; and / or (iv) prolonging the anagen phase of the hair cycle; and / or • (v) convert hair to grow as hair terminal. The terminal hair is rough, pigmented, long hair in which the bulb of the hair follicle is lodged in the dermis. The hair, on the other side, is thin, thin, short, non-pigmented hair in which the capillary bulb is located superficially in the dermis. As well as the evolution of alopecia, the hair change from the terminal to the hair type.
The present invention relates to a method for treating alopecia or causing hair growth in an animal, which comprises administering to the animal an amount • Effective of a small sulfonamide molecule. 5 Methods of the Present Invention The inventive method is particularly useful for treating male alopecia, alopecia senilis, alopecia areata, alopecia resulting from lesions or skin tumors, alopecia resulting from cancer therapy such as chemotherapy or radiation, and alopecia that results from • Systematic disorders such as nutritional disorders and internal secretion disorders.
