  • the invention described herein relates to partly desulphated glycosaminoglycan derivatives, particularly heparins, to processes for their preparation, to their use as active ingredients for the preparation of medicaments with an antiangiogenic activity, particularly for the treatment of tumours, such as, for example, the metastatic forms, and to pharmaceutical compositions containing them.
  • vasculogenesis that is to say the formation of blood vessels during embryonic development and angiogenesis in the strict sense of the term, meaning the formation of new blood vessels (capillaries) during the postnatal life starting from pre-existing vessels.
  • angiogenesis for the growth of solid tumours is amply documented. Over the past three decades it has been reported that tumour growth, as well as the formation of metastases, are strictly dependent on the development of new vessels capable of vascularising the tumour mass.
  • the inhibition of angiogenesis underlies the formation of necrotic masses within the tumour or the induction of apoptosis in tumour cells.
  • vascular endothelium represents a quiescent tissue with a very low mitotic index of its constituent cells (renewal time measured in hundreds of days), and the vascular network is regular, relatively uniform, and suitable for adequately oxygenating all the tissues, without any arteriovenous connection.
  • tumour tissue on the other hand, stimulation of the proliferation of endothelial cells gives rise to a high mitotic index in the latter (mean renewal time 5 days), the neovascularisation is distinctly irregular with areas of occlusion, sometimes with closed endings, with arteriovenous contacts at some points, and, lastly, the basal membrane presents gaps, which at some points leads to tissue hypoxia.
  • the neovascularisation does not always coincide with a precise stage in the tumour development; there are, in fact, cases in which angiogenesis begins even before the development of the tumour (for example, carcinoma of the uterine cervix), others in which the two phases are coincident (for example, carcinoma of the bladder and breast), and others in which angiogenesis begins after the neoplasm (for example, melanoma and ovarian carcinoma; see, for example, “Manual of Medical Oncology”, IV ed. (1991) G. Bonadonna et al.
  • Antiangiogenic therapy presents numerous advantages compared to traditional standard chemotherapy (Cancer Research 1998, 58, 1408-16):
  • a) specificity its target is a process, i.e. tumour neovascularisation
  • apoptosis blockade of the vascular network in the tumour reduces the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tumour cells; apoptosis is favoured in these conditions;
  • tumour angiogenesis (Oncology 1997, 54, 177-84).
  • Pro- and anti-angiogenic endogenous factors are known to be involved in the biological regulatory mechanism in the formation of new vessels.

  • the angiogenesis inhibitors include: the soluble receptor of bFGF, the interferons ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ ), angiostatin, thrombospondin 1, prolactin (16 kDa terminal amino fragment), platelet factor 4 (PF4), the tissue metalloproteinase (TIMP) inhibitors, placental proliferin-related peptide, glioma-derived angiogenesis inhibition factor, the angiostatic steroids, cartilage-derived inhibitor (CDI), the heparinases, interleukin-12, plasminogen activator inhibitor, the retinoids, endostatin, angiopoietin-2, genistein, nitric oxide and GM3.

All integrins are capable of recognising a common peptide sequence Arg-Gly-Asp (“universal cell recognition site”), though every integrin preferentially recognises a different conformation of this tripeptide.
  • the inhibition of specific subtypes of integrins can also be of great interest from the pharmacological standpoint for the development of angiogenesis inhibitors.
  • PK-C protein kinase-C

  • a number of drugs are already in Phase III, such as Marimastat (British Biotech.), I'AG3340 (Prinomast-Agouron), and Neovastat (Aeterna), all of which act mainly at the pulmonary level (SNCL) with a mechanism involving interference with the metalloproteinases.

  • Heparin is a heterogeneous mixture of naturally occurring polysaccharides of various lengths and various degrees of sulphation which possesses anticoagulant activity and is secreted by the connective tissue mastcells present in the liver (from which it was first isolated), in the muscles, lungs, thymus and spleen.
  • the antitumour and antimetastatic activity of heparin and its derivatives is due to its ability to inhibit heparanase, to block growth factors and to regulate angiogenesis.
  • Heparan sulphates are ubiquitous protein ligands.
  • the proteins bind to the HS chains for a variety of actions from simple immobilisation or protection against the proteolytic degradation action to specific modulations of biological activities, such as angiogenesis.
  • the carbohydrate skeleton in both heparin and the heparan sulphates (HS), consists in an alternation of D-glucosamine (GlcN) and hexuronic acids (Glc.A or IdO.A).
  • HS is also on average less O-sulphated than heparin.
  • heparin in the treatment of angiogenesis disorders, such as tumours, particularly metastases, is substantially limited by the anticoagulant activity of heparin.
  • Heparanases are enzymes belonging to a family of endoglycosidases that hydrolyse the internal glycoside bonds of the chains of heparan sulphates (HS) and heparin.
  • tumour cells are involved in the proliferation of tumour cells, in metastases and in the neovascularisation of tumours. This suggests they may also be involved in tumour angiogenesis as a result of the release, from the extracellular matrix, of growth factors bound to heparin, such as aFGF (also called FGF-1), bFGF (also called FGF-2) and VEGF.
  • FGF also called FGF-1
  • bFGF also called FGF-2
  • heparin derivatives are described obtained by 2-O desulphation or by “glycol split” (oxidation with periodate and subsequent reduction with sodium borohydride). These derivatives, defined here as “2-O-desulphated heparin” and “RO-heparin”, respectively, have partly maintained the antiangiogenic activity of heparin as assessed by means of the CAM test in the presence of corticosteroids, as reported in Table III (ibid. page 360).
  • FGFs regulate multiple physiological processes such as cell growth and differentiation, but also functions involved in pathological processes such as tumour angiogenesis.
  • FGFs are growth factors (a family of more than 10 polypeptides, of which the acid (FGF-1) and basic FGFs (FGF-2) are the ones which have been most studied, which require a polysaccharide cofactor, heparin or HS, to bind to the FGF receptor (FGFR) and activate it.

  • Heparin derivatives with a substantial ability to block heparanase seem to be equally capable of inhibiting angiogenesis both in primary tumours and in metastases.
  • the inhibition of heparanase reduces the migration ability of tumour cells from the primary tumour to other organs.
  • the heparin-like compounds preferably comprise sequences of at least eight monosaccharide units containing N-acetyl-glucosamine-glucuronic acid (or N-sulphated glucosamine (see, for example, D. Sandback-Pikas et al. J. Biol. Chem., 273, 18777-18780 (1998) and references cited).

  • Oligosaccharide fragments with antiangiogenic activity have also been amply described: it has been found, in fact, that by varying the carbohydrate sequence the interaction selectivity can be increased.
  • heparin can be used as a vehicle for substances which are themselves antiangiogenic, such as some steroids, exploiting the affinity of heparin for vascular endothelial cells; see, for example, WO 93/18793 of the University of Texas and Imperial Cancer Research Technology, where heparins are claimed with acid-labile linkers, such as adipic acid hydrazine, bound to cortisol.
