Abstract

A preventive or therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) containing an insulin resistance enhancing substance as an active ingredient is disclosed.

Description

THERAPEUTIC AGENT FOR AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to ositions for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diaLets) which contain as their active ingredient a substance that improves insulin resistance »when used for the preparation of pharmaceutical products for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) »or a method of treatment or prevention method for autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) > administering pharmacologically effective amounts thereof to warm-blooded animals.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is believed that autoimmune diseases include immune responses to the body's own onents that are not observed under normal conditions, which result in a pathological condition that causes various tissue disorders and / or functional disorders. Autoimmune diseases are broadly classified into systemic autoimmune diseases and autoimmune diseases specific to organs according to their characteristics. Typical examples of systemic autoimmune diseases include systemic lupus erythematosus and chronic rheumatoid arthritis. On the other hand »typical examples of organ-specific autoimmune diseases include Hashimoto's disease and juvenile-type diabetes. The mechanism of disorder in the cells of the tissues is classified mainly in a mechanism of disorder mediated by antibodies and immune lements (known as the "mechanism of disorder mediated by humoral immunity") and a mechanism of disorder mediated by T lymphocytes and other cell C-mediated cell-mediated cytotoxicity »known as the" mechanism of cell mediated immunity disorder "). In general »the mechanism of humoral immunity mediated disorder is considered important in systemic autoimmune diseases. whereas the mechanism of disorder mediated by cellular immunity is considered important in organ-specific autoimmune diseases. However, due to recent advances in the field of immunology, it has been clearly shown that in the mechanism of cell mediated immunity disorder "in addition to cytotoxic cells consisting mainly of lymphocytes accumulating near target cells followed by direct contact finally with the target cells to damage them, the cytotoxic cells also release humoral factors such as inflammatory cytokines (such as TNF »IL-1 and L) which indirectly deteriorate the target cells as a result of their mediation. On the other hand »also in the disorder mediated by humoral immunity» it has been clearly shown that it exists »for example. an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity mechanism (ADCC) in the case of the involvement of cells such as killer lymphocytes, neutrophils and platelets CByourigakutaikei, Supl. 1 »pp. 91-105 (1995) 3. Thus »in the mechanism of internal organ organ or objective organ disorder in autoimmune diseases» regardless of whether they are systemic autoinmune diseases or organ-specific autoimmune diseases »the invasion by cytotoxic cells consisting mainly of lymphocytes is considered important in terms of causing various tissue and functional disorders. For this reason. ounds that inhibit the invasion of lymphocytes into the target organ or target organ mechanisms mentioned above are useful as agents for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases. Currently, steroids, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, immunosuppressants and others are used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases (Konnichinochiryoushishin »Igaku Shoin» P. 577 (1996) 3. In addition »agents have recently been developed which inhibit the production and action of inflammatory cytokines such as TNFa and IL-1. More »several types of mouse monoclonal antibodies for cell adhesion factors (such as ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) have been developed for the purpose of inhibiting the invasion of cytotoxic lymphocytes in the target internal organs and target organs. The therapeutic effects of these monoclonal antibodies have been reported in several animal models such co or DBA / 2 mice (yagi and other »Diabetes» 44 »744 (1995); Baron and others. J. Clin. Invest. »93, 1700 < 1994) D. However, none of these therapeutic agents or therapeutic methods exhibit adequate effects, and they also have the disadvantage of presenting serious adverse effects. There is therefore a desire for a preventive or therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases that has excellent clinical efficacy and less adversity. In recent years, it has been known that substances that improve insulin resistance function as agents to prevent or treat diabetes. Here »substances that improve insulin resistance refer to compounds that improve the impaired action of insulin despite the presence of endogenous insulin. These substances that improve insulin resistance include a wide range of compounds. Typical examples include various compounds of tiasoli &nadione »oxazolidinedione compounds» isoxazolidinedione compounds and oxadiazolidinedione compounds.

For example, 5-C4- (6-hydroxy-2, 5, 7,8-tetramethyl-chroman-2-ylmethoxy) benzyl thiazolidino-2 »4-dione (known as" troglitazone ") is a thiazolidine derivative having an activity that improves the effects of insulin and that is known as an agent for the treatment and / or prevention of diabetes CFujiwara et al., Diabetes »37, 1459 (1988); Hof ann C.A. and others, Diabetes Care, 15 »1075 (1992) 3. Moreover, since said compound has antioxidant effects, it has also been reported to be useful as a therapeutic drug for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type I diabetes).; IDDM) CTounyoubyou, Vol. 37, No. 2 »pp 127-129 (1994) 3. However, there are no reports that troglitazone inhibits tissue invasion by lymphocytes and that it is useful as a preventive and / or therapeutic agent for autoimmune diseases with the exception of diabetes-dependent diabetes mellitus. insulin (type I diabetes). Currently »insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type I diabetes) is considered a type of autoimmune disease. Although there is only one report indicating that troglitazone is useful for the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, it points out that the discovery that troglitazone is useful for the treatment or prevention of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is based on the antioxidant effects possessed by said compound. Thus, these known facts do not teach or suggest that troglitazone inhibits the invasion of tissues by lymphocytes "or that it is useful as a preventive or therapeutic agent for diseases15 autoimmune (excluding type I diabetes). Moreover, although it is known that other substances that improve insulin resistance are useful for the treatment and prevention of diabetes, it is known that these compounds inhibit the invasion of tissues by lymphocytes. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As a result of more serious research about the pharmacological activity of substances that improve In the case of insulin resistance, the present inventors discovered that said substances inhibit the invasion of lymphocytes in pancreatic S cells. From this it was also discovered that said substances are useful as preventive or therapeutic agents (preferably therapeutic agents) for autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) and are achieved in the present invention. Namely the present invention is useful as an agent preventive or therapeutic of autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) including »for example» diseases classified as systemic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis »Sjbgren's syndrome» systemic scleriasis »connective tissue disease and mixed dermatomyositis, and diseases classified as organ-specific autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto's disease, primary ixedema, thyrotoxia, pernicious anemia »ulcerative colitis» autoimmune atrophic gastritis »Addison's idiopathic disease» male infertility »Goodp's syndrome asture »acute progressive globular nephritis» myasthenia gravis, multiple iositis, pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigoid bolus, sympathetic ophthalmia, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune olymetic anemia »idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura» post iocardial infarction syndrome »rheumatic fever, lupoid hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis »Behcet syndrome. and Crest syndrome. The present invention provides compositions for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) which contain as their active ingredient a substance that improves insulin resistance, its use for the preparation of armaceutical products for the treatment or prevention of diseases autoimmune 5 (excluding type I diabetes), or a method of treatment or prevention for autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes) »administering armagologically and ectively amounts of these to warm-blooded animals. The present invention relates to an agent for the prevention or treatment of autoimmune diseases (excluding type I diabetes). Substances of the active ingredient that improve insulin resistance include thiazolidinedione compounds, oxazolidinedione compounds, isoxazolidinodone compounds and oxadiazoli &oodone, and preferably thiazolidinedione compounds. Moreover, the pharmacologically acceptable salts of the thiazolidinedione compounds "etc. they are included in the thiazolidinedione compounds mentioned above and so on.
