Description

NOVELTY PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS THAT HAVE ESTEROID ESTEROID DERIVATIVES OF NITRATE ESTER, USEFUL AS AN INFLAMMATORY F RMACOS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions containing steroidal nitrate ester derivatives and their use in the treatment of inflammatory diseases.
RELATED TECHNIQUE It is known that steroids * speci fi cally from the group of glucocorticoid molecules »possess anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities and are commonly used for the treatment of numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. However, their beneficial effects are often slow to appear and are accompanied by many dose-limiting side effects. Nitric oxide donors have also been used, such as "ni roglycerin", as pharmaceutical agents with prominent beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Many of the biological actions of nitric oxide counteract potential side effects of glucocorticoids and can improve their therapeutic actions. The present invention relates to novel stearic nitrate ester derivatives which possess the combined biological properties of glucacorticoids and nitric oxide donors in a single molecule. These molecules have an advantage over commonly used glucocorticoids because they readily induce beneficial pharmacological effects "such as bronchial relaxation" through the release of nitric oxide. It is intended that these novel molecules be used for therapy, in particular their use as an inflammatory and immunosuppressive drugs for the treatment of rheumatic diseases, immune disorders, skin disorders, inflammation, transplant rejection, cancer, osteoporosis, rhinitis and asthma. »With fewer side effects. Glucocorti oids are commonly used for the pharmacological treatment of inflammation and inappropriate reactions of the immune system. These steroids have the ability to prevent or suppress the development of inflammation resulting from several different harmful agents that include infectious »immunological» chemical »mechanical and radiation agents. Lucocorticoids are also effective in treating disorders of the immune system, including autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, and rejection of transplants. However »the therapeutic applications of these steroids are somewhat limited due to their toxicity and side effects. The main side effects of glucocorticoids are hypertension »peptic ulcers» increased susceptibility to infections »oeteoporosis» hyperglycemia and vascular occlusion. It is known since the beginning of the decade that the vascular relaxation produced by acetylcalin depends on the presence of the endothelium "and this activity was attributed to a labile humoral factor called endothelium-derived relaxation factor (EDRF). It has been known for more than a century the activity of nitric oxide < 0N > as a vasodilator »and the ON is the active component of the amylnitrite ester» glyceryl trinitrate and others nor trovasodilators. The recent identification of EDRF as ON has coincided with the discovery of a biochemical pathway through which NO is synthesized from the amino acid L-arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthetase »The NO released by the constitutive enzyme functions as a mechanism of transduction that supports several physiological responses. The ON produced by the inducible enzyme is a cytotoxic molecule for tumor cells and pathogenic microorganisms. NO is the endogenous stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase and is involved in several biological actions in addition to endothelium-dependent relaxation, including phagocytic cell cytotoxicity and cellular communication in the system. central nervous system (see Moneada and others »Biochemical Pharmacology» 38 »1709-1715 (1989) and Moneada and others» Phar acaló ic l Revie s »43» 109-142 (1991). anti thromboembolism (see Moneada et al. »Journal af Cardiovascular Pharmacalogy 17» S25 (1991) »Byrne et al» world patent application W09403421-A2 »and Schonafinger et al» German patent application DE4223800-A1) »bronchorelaxants (Persson and others »European Journal of Pharmacology» 249 »R7-RS (1993)» anti-inflammatory and microbiocides (Alspaugh and Granger »Infection and Immunity 59» 2291-2296 (1991) and gastroprectors (see Wallace and others »European Journal of Pharmacology» 257 »249-255 (1994) in animal models Further» it has been suggested that nitric oxide is effective against bone loss in in vitro osteoporosis models (MacIntyre et al. »Proc.

BIOLOGICAL DATA It has been found that the present compounds of the formula (i) are donors of nitric oxide while maintaining their steroid activities and that they possess useful pharmacological properties as demonstrated in one or more of the following tests? Selected compounds were tested in three in v tro and one in vivo tests. The in vitro tests consisted of the following? to measure the effect of the compounds to inhibit the increase of prostaglandin after the treatment of human fetal fibroblast cells with interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-i followed by arachidonic acid »by measuring the effect of the compounds in cyclic GMP in the human fetal fibroblasts »and measuring smooth muscle relaxant activity in rat aortic rings. The in vivo test consists of measuring the anti-inflammatory properties of the compounds in the rat air sac model treated with carrageenan.
A. Synthesis test of in vitro inhibition of prostaglandin E-. (PGEa) Human fetal fibroblast cells were treated with IL-1 for 16 hours and prostaglandin E.- »was measured by ELISA. The compounds were administered at the time of the addition of IL-i. This test provides a determination of the ability of the compound to block the induction of the pro-inflammatory agent prostaglandin Es. (PGEs.)? PGE treatment-, (ng) Basic 0.6 IL-1 9.4 IL-1 and dexamethasone (iOμM) 0.6 SL-1 and Example 2 (10uM) 0.8 IL-1 and Example 6 (10uM) 1.0 These data indicate that the esteraides with the modifications for the generation of nitric oxide are effective to inhibit the increase in PGE ^ and maintain the glucocorticoid action of the prevention of prostalandine formation.
B. In vitro stimulation test of cGMP production Human fetal fibroblasts in the presence of isabuti Imeti Ixanthin »a phosphodiesterase inhibitor» were treated with compueetoe for 120 minutes and intracellular cyclic GMP levels were measured by a radioimmunological test. The cell line is used as a reporter cell test to monitor the production of nitric oxide.
Treatment f cyclic GMP / cell Basis or 145 Example 1 170 Example 2 260 Example 3 350 Example 4 225 Example 5 485 Example 6 330 These data show that the compounds possess the ability to increase levels of cyclic GMP in the nitric oxide reporter cell test »indicating that these compounds release nitric oxide during the treatment of the cells. C. Test of smooth muscle relaxant activity in vitro The selected co-beds were examined to verify their ability to relax smooth muscle. The rat aortic ring test was used as a biatest to measure the relaxing activity. The rings were precontracted with ileum (0.3uM) and subsequently were added to the tissue bath in the absence or in the presence of cysteine (Cys) and methyl ester of Nß-L-nor troarginine (L-NAME).

In addition »examples 1» 9 »11 and 14 also caused relaxation in the presence of cysteine and L-NAME. These data indicate that these compounds have smooth muscle relaxant activity »while the control compounds budesonide» dexamethasone »prednisolone and beetle etaeone dipropionate showed no effect.
D. Anti-inflammatory test in vivo The compound of Example 2 was tested for its anti-inflammatory activity in vivo in the rat air bag test with carrageenan. The rats were injected subcutaneously with a volume of air for several days to form a bag. Inflammation was subsequently induced in the pouch by the addition of the pro-inlamatory agent carrageenan. Inflammation was measured by testing the fluid in the bag for prostaglandin Ez by ELISA. The compound of Example 2 at a dose of Img / kg blocked the increase in prostaglandin E2 by 98%. These data indicate that these compounds possess the ability to reduce inflammation in vivo.
