Description

CEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE OF 4-PREGENEN-11β21-TRIOL-3,20-DIONE DERIVATIVES By Inventors: Jeffery L. Edelman and Alissar Nehme RELATED APPLICATION This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 61/558,775, filed er 11, 2011, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated in its ty herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising 4-pregenen- 11β21-triol-3,20-dione derivatives, and their use as pharmaceuticals as modulators of the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). The invention relates specifically to the use of these compounds and their pharmaceutical compositions to treat ocular conditions associated with the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR).
OUND OF THE INVENTION Glucocorticoid (GC) agonists represent a class of anti-inflammatory compounds that are useful in treating multiple ocular conditions including elevated intraocular pressure, glaucoma, uveitis, retinal vein occlusions, r degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, various forms of macular edema, post-surgical inflammation, inflammatory conditions of the palpebral and bulbar conjunctiva, cornea, and anterior segment of the globe, such as ic conjunctivitis, ocular rosacea, dry eye, blepharitis, retinal detachment, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), superficial punctate keratitis, herpes zoster keratitis, iritis, cyclitis, selected infective conjunctivitis, l injury from chemical, radiation, or l burns, ation of foreign , allergy, or combinations thereof.
A potential use limiting and sight-threatening side-effect of traditional GC agonist therapies (e.g. fluocinolone acetonide) is ocular hypertension that is likely generated by an increased resistance of aqueous humor flow through the trabecular meshwork. The mechanism of GC agonist-induced outflow resistance and subsequent ocular hypertension is not well understood.
As such, GC modulation through agonist or antagonist activity of GC receptors that does not result in increased intraocular pressure or other side effects is needed in the art and is described herein.

Also described are s for treating disorders associated with modulation of the glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or the mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). Such methods can be performed, for example, by administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of at least one nd of Table 1, or any combination thereof, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
In another embodiment, there are bed pharmaceutical compositions including at least one compound of Table 1 in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
The compounds described herein may be administered at pharmaceutically effective dosages. Such dosages are normally the minimum dose necessary to achieve the desired therapeutic . Generally, such doses will be in the range of about 1 mg/day to about 1000 mg/day; more ably in the range of about 10 mg/day to about 500 mg/day. In another example embodiment, the compound or compounds may be present in a composition or formulation in a range of about 0.5 mg/kg/day to about 100 mg/kg/day or about 1 mg/kg/day to about 100 day. However, the actual amount of the nd to be administered in any given case will be ined by a physician taking into account the nt circumstances, such as the age and weight of the patient, the patient’s general physical condition, the severity of ocular condition, and the route of stration. In some instances, dosing is ted on a case-by-case basis.
In another example embodiment, bed are pharmaceutical compositions including at least one compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Pharmaceutical compositions can be used in the form of a solid, a on, an emulsion, a dispersion, a micelle, a liposome, and the like, wherein the resulting composition contains one or more compounds described herein, as an active ingredient, in ure with an organic or inorganic carrier or excipient suitable for enteral or parenteral applications. One or more compounds may be combined, for example, with the usual non-toxic, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for tablets, pellets, capsules, suppositories, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, and any other form suitable for use. The carriers which can be used include glucose, lactose, gum acacia, gelatin, mannitol, starch paste, magnesium trisilicate, talc, corn starch, keratin, colloidal silica, potato starch, urea, medium chain length triglycerides, ns, and other carriers suitable for use in manufacturing preparations, in solid, semisolid, or liquid form. In addition ary, stabilizing, thickening and coloring agents and perfumes may be used. Compounds described herein are included in pharmaceutical compositions in an amount sufficient to produce the desired effect upon the process or disease condition.
In another embodiment, the compounds described herein can be administered orally in any able form, such as a tablet, liquid, capsule, powder and the like. However, other routes may be desirable or necessary, particularly if the patient suffers from . Such other routes may include, without exception, transdermal, parenteral, subcutaneous, asal, intrathecal, intramuscular, intravenous, and ectal modes of delivery. Additionally, formulations may be designed to delay release of the active compound over a given period of time, or to carefully control the amount of drug released at a given time during the course of therapy.
Pharmaceutical compositions in a form suitable for oral use, for example, are administered as tablets, troches, lozenges, aqueous or oily suspensions, dispersible powders or granules, emulsions, hard or soft capsules, or syrups or elixirs.
Compositions intended for oral use may be prepared ing to any method known to the art for the manufacture of ceutical compositions and such compositions may n one or more agents selected from the group consisting of a sweetening agent such as sucrose, lactose, or saccharin, flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen or cherry, coloring agents and ving agents in order to provide pharmaceutically t and palatable preparations. Tablets containing compounds described herein in admixture with non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may also be manufactured by known methods.
The pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a sterile injectable suspension.
This sion may be formulated according to known methods using suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents. The e able preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterallyacceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including tic mono- or diglycerides, fatty acids (including oleic acid), naturally occurring vegetable oils like sesame oil, coconut oil, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, etc., or synthetic fatty vehicles like ethyl oleate or the like.
Buffers, preservatives, antioxidants, and the like can be incorporated as required.
Compounds described herein may also be administered in the form of suppositories for rectal administration of the drug. These compositions may be prepared by mixing the invention compounds with a suitable non-irritating ent, such as cocoa butter, synthetic glyceride esters of polyethylene glycols, which are solid at ordinary temperatures, but liquefy and/or ve in the rectal cavity to release the drug.
The actual amount of the compound to be administered in any given case will be determined by a physician taking into account the relevant circumstances, such as the ty of the condition, the age and weight of the patient, the patient’s general al ion, the cause of the condition, and the route of administration.
Described herein are compounds capable of ting glucocorticoid receptors (GR) and/or mineralocorticoid receptors (MR). The compounds described can have r GR activation and/or g y compared to a compound such as cortisol. As such, the compounds can ently treat ocular indications. The nds can further be metabolized by esterase enzymes within the eye to form the natural agonist cortisol, y reducing the risk of ocular hypertension. The cortisol remaining within the eye and body is further metabolized to inactive compounds via naturally occurring dehydroxylases and other enzymes making this a safe therapeutic approach.
In patients, the naturally occurring endogenous GC agonist cortisol (hydrocortisone) has a minimal effect on intraocular pressure when applied locally via eye drops compared to synthetic GCs such as dexamethasone, prednisolone, and metholone (Cantrill et aI., 1975). Further support of the overall superior safety of cortisol as a therapeutic is the fact that various topical hydrocortisone formulations are currently sold over the counter directly to consumers.
Without wishing the bound to any particular theory, it was surprisingly discovered that the presently described compounds can have more glucocorticoid receptor modulation than cortisol because of the modification to the 17-position of the cortisol molecule.
As used herein, the term "therapeutically ive amount" means the amount of the pharmaceutical composition that will elicit the biological or medical response of a subject in need thereof that is being sought by the researcher, veterinarian, medical doctor or other clinician. In some embodiments, the subject in need thereof is a mammal. In some embodiments, the mammal is human.
The excipients used may be, for example, (1) inert diluents such as calcium carbonate, e, calcium phosphate or sodium phosphate; (2) granulating and disintegrating agents such as corn starch, potato starch or alginic acid; (3) binding agents such as gum tragacanth, corn starch, gelatin or acacia, and (4) lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc. The tablets may be uncoated or they may be coated by known techniques to delay disintegration and absorption in the intestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For e, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate may be employed.
In some cases, formulations for oral use may be in the form of hard n capsules wherein the compounds are mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium ate, calcium phosphate or kaolin. They may also be in the form of soft gelatin capsules wherein the compounds are mixed with water or an oil medium, for example, peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.
The compounds bed herein can also be administered as an ophthalmically acceptable formulation or composition. A liquid which is ophthalmically acceptable is formulated such that it can be stered topically to the eye. The comfort should be maximized as much as possible, although sometimes formulation considerations (e.g. stability) may necessitate less than optimal comfort. In the case that t cannot be maximized, the liquid should be formulated such that the liquid is tolerable to the patient for topical ophthalmic use. Additionally, an ophthalmically able liquid should either be packaged for single use, or contain a preservative to prevent contamination over multiple uses.
For ophthalmic application, solutions or medicaments are often ed using a physiological saline solution as a major e. Ophthalmic solutions should preferably be ined at a comfortable pH with an appropriate buffer system. The formulations may also contain conventional, pharmaceutically acceptable preservatives, stabilizers and surfactants.
Preservatives that may be used in ophthalmic compositions described herein include, but are not limited to, benzalkonium chloride, chlorobutanol, thimerosal, phenylmercuric acetate and phenylmercuric nitrate. A useful surfactant is, for example, Tween 80.
Likewise, s useful vehicles may be used in the lmic preparations described herein. These es include, but are not limited to, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, poloxamers, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose and purified water.
Tonicity adjustors may be added as needed or convenient. They include, but are not limited to, salts, particularly sodium de, potassium chloride, mannitol and glycerin, or any other suitable ophthalmically acceptable ty adjustor.
Various buffers and means for adjusting pH may be used so long as the resulting preparation is ophthalmically acceptable. Accordingly, buffers include acetate buffers, citrate buffers, ate buffers and borate buffers. Acids or bases may be used to adjust the pH of these formulations as needed.
In one example embodiment, an ophthalmic ition as described herein may have ingredients used in the following amounts listed in Table 2.
Table 2 Ingredient Amount (% w/v) active ingredient about 0.001-5 preservative 0-0.10 vehicle 0-40 tonicity adjustor 1-10 buffer 0.01-10 pH adjustor q.s. pH 4.5-7.5 antioxidant as needed surfactant as needed purified water as needed to make 100% In other embodiments, the ophthalmically acceptable liquid can be formulated for intraocular injection. The compounds described herein can be formulated as a liquid, gel, paste, cream, oil. Further, the compounds can be formulated into sustained release or controlled release cular implants comprising biodegradable rs such as polylactic acid, poly glycolic acid, combinations thereof and the like.
Some exemplary itions can include a combination of two or more compounds as described herein. Different ratios of compounds can be formulated depending on a particular ocular condition or set of conditions being treated.
Since individual subjects may present a wide variation in severity of symptoms and each composition has its unique eutic characteristics, the e mode of stration and dosage employed for each subject is left to the discretion of the practitioner.

Example 1 orticoid Receptor Transactivation Potencies for Cortisol and 17-ester Derivatives Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation potency was assessed using a HeLa cell line containing the MMTV-bla reporter (MMTV-bla HeLa CELLSENSOR®, Invitrogen Corp., Carlsbad, CA). This cell line was stably transfected with an expression construct containing β-lactamase cDNA under l of the MMTV response element previously identified as a glucocorticoid receptor response element.
Results from one experiment med in duplicate for 9 compounds and the l compound, dexamethasone, are summarized in Table 3. All assays were performed as -point dose responses using a half log-fold dilution series starting with a maximum compound concentration of 100 nM. The compounds were incubated for 5 hours. The activation of endogenous GR leads to expression of the reporter β-Iactamase which is ed by the conversion of a FRET substrate in a ratiometric assay format. This functional assay allows for measurement of receptor agonism by compounds and can be used to determine compound y and selectivity. Assay reproducibility was determined by ating Z' values for untreated versus maximum stimulation. The Z' value was greater than 0.6, ting good reproducibility of the assay format.
Several compounds showed ependent stimulation of the GR signaling pathway (Table 3). Compounds of Table 1 showed about 30-fold greater potency compared to the parent molecule cortisol.

This cell line was stably cotransfected with an expression uct containing β-Iactamase cDNA under control of the GAL4 Upstream Activator ce (UAS) and another expression construct encoding for the fusion protein GAL4(DBD)-MR(LBD). Results for one experiment performed in duplicate for 9 compounds and the l compound, aldosterone, in agonist mode are summarized in Table 4. All assays were performed as -point dose responses using a half log-fold dilution series starting with a maximum compound concentration of 100 nM. The compounds were incubated for 16 hours. The activation of the fusion n GAL4(DBD)-MR(LBD) leads to expression of the reporter β-lactamase which is detected by the sion of a FRET substrate in a ratiometric assay format. This functional assay allows for measurement of receptor agonism by compounds and can be used to determine compound potency and selectivity. Assay reproducibility was determined by calculating Z' values for untreated versus maximum stimulation. The Z' value was r than 0.6, indicating good reproducibility of the assay format. Several compounds showed dose-dependent ation of the MR signaling pathway (Table 4).
