Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel crystalline and/or polymorphic forms of 1,6-Bis [3-(3-carboxymethylphenyl)-4-(2- ⁇ -D-mannopyranosyloxy)-phenyl] hexane (in particular in its dicarboxylic acid form), processes for their preparation, their use and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them.
  • circulating white blood cells leukocytes
  • extravasation circulating white blood cells
  • Lymphocytes for example, are constitutively leaving the blood stream into lymphatic tissues in order to patrol for harmful antigens.
  • this fundamental process is dys-regulated, at least in part, due to an increased surface expression of the adhesion molecules E- and P-selectin. Consequently, the excessive leukocyte extravasation leads to a pathological cellular infiltrate with subsequent tissue damage in several clinically relevant settings.
  • ALI acute lung injury
  • ARDS acute respiratory distress syndrome
  • asthma bronchiale asthma bronchiale
  • COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • psoriasis psoriasis
  • rheumatoid arthritis sepsis
  • sepsis sepsis
  • tissue inflammation induced and perpetuated by pathologically activated leukocytes infiltrating the respective tissue.
  • exaggerated leukocyte infiltration contributes to the pathogenesis of ischemic-reperfusion injury (IRI) associated with organ transplantation, cardiopulmonary bypass or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
  • IRI ischemic-reperfusion injury
  • leukocytes To extravasate, leukocytes must bind to the vascular endothelium in order to finally transmigrate into the surrounding tissue. Therefore, leukocytes have to attach and roll on the endothelium (tethering and rolling). This primary event in extravasation is mediated by the selectin family of cell-adhesion molecules. In addition to directly binding to the endothelium, leukocytes can adhere to other leukocytes, leukocyte-particles, platelets or platelet-derived particles that are already attached to the endothelium.
  • binding to selectins may also results in signal transduction [E. Crockett-Torabi, J. Leukocyte Biol., 1998, 63, 1-14]. It was shown that small molecules that bind to selectins can induce signal transduction as well [B. Brenner et al., PNAS 1996, 93, 15376-15381].
  • selectins are also involved in leukocyte retention in lung [D. Bock et al., Curr. Respir. Med. Rev., 2006, 2, 339-354].
  • the selectin family of adhesion molecules is comprised of three structurally related calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding cell surface proteins, E-, P- and L-selectin.
  • E-selectin is expressed on inflamed endothelium
  • P-selectin is expressed on inflamed endothelium as well as on platelets
  • L-selectin is expressed on leukocytes.
  • Selectins are composed of an amino terminal lectin domain, an epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domain, a variable number of complement receptor-related repeats, a hydrophobic transmembrane domain and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain.
  • EGF epidermal growth factor
  • the binding interactions leading to the adhesion of the leukocytes are supposed to be mediated by contact of the lectin domain of the selectins and various carbohydrate ligands on the surface of the leukocytes. All three selectins can bind with low affinity to the carbohydrate sialyl Lewis X (sLe X ), a glycosyl moiety present on the surface of most leukocytes. A structurally related glycosyl moiety, sialyl Lewis a (sLe a ), is predominantly found on the surface of cancer cells [K. Okazaki et al., J. Surg. Res., 1998, 78(1), 78-84; R. P.
  • PSGL-1 is one of the most important selectin ligands binding with highest affinity to P-selectin, but it also binds to E- and L-selectin [G. Constantin; Drug News Perspect; 2004; 17(9); 579-586]. It is a homodimeric sialomucin predominantly expressed on leukocytes.
  • E- and P-selectin In inflammatory diseases, dys-regulated extravasation is, at least in part, mediated due to an increased cell surface expression of E- and P-selectin. In contrast to their low basal expression, E- and P-selectin expression is upregulated during inflammation, leading to a substantial recruitment of leukocytes into the inflamed tissue. Although selectin-mediated cell adhesion is required for fighting infection, there are various situations in which such cell adhesion is undesirable or excessive, resulting in severe tissue damage instead of repair.
  • Leukocyte infiltration may also play a role in inflammatory symptoms in the course of transplant and graft rejection. Also the process of blood clotting is further promoted by leukocyte-leukocyte and leukocyte-platelet binding, which occurs because leukocytes possess both L-selectin and its corresponding ligand P-glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) and can thus interact with themselves via PSGL-1, and they can also bind to platelets which carry P-selectin.
  • PSGL-1 P-glycoprotein ligand-1
  • selectins are involved in micro-inflammatory processes causing ageing of the skin [P. U. Giacomoni et al., Micron 2004, 35, 179-184].
  • the signs of ageing of the skin resulting from the effects on the skin of intrinsic and extrinsic factors are defined by the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, by the yellowing of the skin which develops a wizened appearance along with the appearance of pigmentation blemishes, by a change in the thickness of the skin, generally resulting in a thickening of the stratum corneum and of the epidermis and a thinning of the dermis, by disorganization of the elastin and collagen fibers which causes a loss of elasticity, of suppleness and of firmness, and by the appearance of telnagiectasia.
  • Some of these signs are more particularly associated with intrinsic or physiological ageing, that is so to say with “normal” ageing associated with age, whereas others are more specific to extrinsic ageing, that is so to say ageing caused by the environment in general; such ageing is more particularly photo-ageing due to exposure to the sun, to light or to any other radiation.
  • Other factors causing ageing of the skin are atmospheric pollution, wounds, infections, traumatisms, anoxia, cigarette smoke, hormonal status, neuropeptides, electromagnetic fields, gravity, lifestyle (e.g. excessive consumption of alcohol), repetitive facial expressions, sleeping positions, and psychological stressors.
  • Intrinsic and extrinsic factors of ageing of the skin share common mechanisms [P. U. Giacomoni et al., Biogerontology 2004, 2, 219-229]. These factors trigger the micro-inflammatory cycle where selectins are involved.
  • modulating the selectin function is a novel concept intervening the micro-/inflammation cascade at a very early stage and treating, preventing, and/or diagnosing inflammatory or micro-inflammatory indications or conditions according to the present inventions represents a strategy without the drawbacks known from other strategies.

  • 1650 g of a microemulsion having the following composition was prepared according to the methods known to the person skilled in the art by mixing 1.0% of FORM 1 of 1,6-Bis [3-(3-carboxymethylphenyl)-4-(2- ⁇ -D-mannopyranosyloxy)-phenyl] hexane, 8% of Tagat® 02 V (surfactant, Goldschmidt GmbH), 12% of Synperonic® PE/L101 (Poloxamer 331, surfactant, Uniqema), 5% of glyceryl triacetate (Triacetin), and qs100% of propylene glycol/0.005 N hydrochloric acid (2:1). The pH value of the formula was adjusted to 4.0. Preparation of the microemulsion employing FORM 1, which shows highest solubility in both propylene glycol and Triacetin as compared to other FORMS, gave best results.
