Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • The present invention relates to an agent containing a xanthine oxidase inhibitor as an active ingredient for overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance.
  • PRIOR ART
  • Chemotherapy is indispensable for cancer treatment. On the other hand, cancer often develops resistance to chemotherapy. Once a cancer cell acquires resistance to a anti-cancer agent, the cell frequently shows resistance to another anti-cancer agent unused in treatment or multiple drugs having different action mechanisms or different structures, which is said to be multidrug resistance. Resistance is an enormous problem in treatment, and multidrug resistance is a particularly serious problem. It has been desired to develop an agent for overcoming multidrug resistance. One mechanism of multidrug resistance is overexpression of ABC transporters such as P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) and MRP1 (ABCC1), which are localized in cell membrane. The ABC transporters excrete intracellular substrates of various structures (such as agents, physiologically active substances) out of cells in an ATP-dependent manner. Therefore, overexpression of them decreases intracellular concentrations of the drugs to cause resistance to various drugs such as anti-cancer agent.
  • Breast Cancer Resistance Protein (BCRP/ABCG2) has recently been identified as an ABC transporter (Doyle L A et al.: Proc Natl Acad Sci USA., 95:15665-15670 (1998); Allikmets R et al.: Cancer Res., 58:5337-5339 (1998); and Miyake K et al.: Cancer Res., 59:8-13 (1999)).
  • BCRP excretes SN-38, which is an active metabolite of irinotecan, or anti-cancer agents such as mitoxantrone and topotecan out of cells. Therefore, BCRP has been noted as a molecular target to overcome anti-cancer agent resistance (cf., JP 2003-63989 A).
  • It has been known that the compound having a condensed dicyclic heterocyclic ring represented by the below-mentioned formula (I) or (II) has xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory action (cf., WO 2005/121153 A1, WO 2003/042185 A1, WO 2007/004688 A1).
  • Febuxostat (TMX-67) and 4-[5-pyridin-4-yl-1H-[1,2,4]triazol-3-yl]pyridine-2-carbonitrile (FYX-051) have xanthine oxidase inhibitory action. They are available agents for treating hyperuricemia.
  • However, it has not been known that the compound represented by the below-mentioned formula (I) or (II), TMX-67 or the like has BCRP inhibitory action.

  • The agent of the present invention for overcoming resistance is intended for anti-cancer agents such as irinotecan, SN-38, which is an active metabolite of irinotecan, mitoxantrone, topotecan, methotrexate, doxorubicin, daunorubicin, etoposide, gefitinib, and imatinib.
  • There is no specific limitation on kinds of cancers targeted with the agent of the present invention for overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance, so long as the cancers overexpressing BCRP. Examples of cancers with resistance include blood cancer (hematological malignancy), liver cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, osteosarcoma, brain tumor, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer.
  • The pharmacological effects of the invention are described below.
  • Below-described Example 1 is an experiment confirming an effect of compounds on BCRP-mediated methotrexate transport.
  • As is evident from Table 1, it has been confirmed that each of the compound 1 (potassium salt of 2-[3-cyano-4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxythiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine), the compound 2 (2-[3-cyano-4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine), the compound 3 (potassium salt of 2-(3-cyano-4-phenoxyphenyl)-4-hydroxythiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine), the compound 4 (2-(3-cyano-4-phenoxyphenyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine), TMX-67, and FYX-051 strongly inhibits BCRP-mediated methotrexate transport.
  • Below described Example 2 is an experiment confirming an effect of compounds on anti-cancer agent resistance in BCRP-overexpressing cells (Flp-In-293/BCRP).
  • Each of the compounds 1 and 2 reverses resistance of Flp-In-293/ABCG2 cells to SN-38 in a concentration-dependent manner. The compound 1 and the compound 2 reversed the resistance by about 96% and about 90% respectively at the concentration of 5 μmol/L. Further, the compounds do not affect viability of Flp-In-293/ABCG2 cells up to the examined concentration of 10 μmol/L. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the compounds 1 and 2 exhibit effect of overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance in BCRP-overexpressing cells without exhibiting toxicity to the cells. In addition, in the experiments conducted in the same manner as in Example 2, the compound 5 (2-(3-cyano-4-phenoxyphenyl)-4-hydroxythiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine), TMX-67, and FYX-051 do not exhibit toxicity to the cells at the concentration of 10 μmol/L, and each of them reversed the resistance by about 96%, about 82% and about 39% respectively at the concentration of 5 μmol/L.
  • On the other hand, among the known agents having xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory action, allopurinol and oxypurinol do not have an inhibitory action on BCRP-mediated methotrexate transport, and do not exhibit an effect of overcoming resistance to SN-38. Further, Y-700 (1-[3-cyano-4-(2,2-dimethylpropoxy)phenyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid) also does not exhibit an effect of overcoming resistance to SN-38(Comparison example 1 and 2).
  • As is described above, the agent having xanthine oxidase (XOD) inhibitory action, particularly the compound represented by the above-mentioned formula (I) or (II), TMX-67, or FYX-051 can be used as an active ingredient for overcoming drug resistance, particularly as an active ingredient for overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance.
  • The agent for overcoming drug resistance or the agent for overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance of the invention can be administered to human by ordinary administration methods such as oral administration or parenteral administration.
  • The agent can be granulated in ordinary manners for the preparation of pharmaceuticals. For instance, the agent can be processed to give pellets, granule, powder, capsule, suspension, injection, suppository, and the like.
  • For the preparation of these pharmaceuticals, ordinary additives such as vehicles, disintegrators, binders, lubricants, dyes, and diluents can be used. As the vehicles, lactose, D-mannitol, crystalline cellulose and glucose can be mentioned. Further, there can be mentioned starch and carboxymethylcellulose calcium (CMC-Ca) as the disintegrators, magnesium stearate and talc as the lubricants, and hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), gelatin and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the binders.
  • The agent of the invention can be administered to an adult generally in an amount of 0.1 mg to 100 mg a day by parenteral administration and 1 mg to 2,000 mg a day by oral administration. The dosage can be adjusted in consideration of age and conditions of the patient.
  • A therapeutic agent (composition) comprising an agent for overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance and a known anti-cancer agent can be prepared according to a preparation method of a conventional composition. The two agents can also separately be administered to a patient at the same time or at some intervals.
  • In case of hematological malignancy, solid tumor with metastasis and the like, the administration of anti-cancer agent induces abrupt tumor necrosis resulting in the release of a large amount of the intracellular components of the tumor cells into blood. As a result, hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, or hypocalcemia occurs and these symptoms sometimes induce renal failure or cardiac arrest (tumor lysis syndrome). The active ingredient of the invention has xanthine oxidase inhibitory action as well as effect of overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance. Therefore, the ingredient of the invention is also effective in treating hyperurcemia caused with tumor lysis.

  • Preparation and Composition of Reaction Solution
  • 50 μL of solution containing sucrose (250 mmol/L) and Tris/Hepes (10 mmol/L, pH: 7.4)
  • 30 μL of solution containing ATP (3.33 mmol/L), creatine phosphate (33.3 mmol/L), and MgCl2 (33.3 mmol/L)
  • (or solution containing creatine phosphate (33.3 mmol/L) and MgCl2 (33.3 mmol/L))
  • 5 μL of creatine kinase (2 mg/mL)
  • 2 μL of [3H]methotrexate (10 mmol/L, final concentration: 200 μmol/L)
  • 3 μL of test compound
  • 10 μL of membrane sample of BCRP-expressing Sf9 cells (total protein: 50 μg)
  • Total: 100 μL
  • The reaction solution was incubated at 37° C. for 20 minutes. 1 mL of ice-cooled solution containing sucrose (250 mmol/L), EDTA (2 mmol/L), and Tris/Hepes (10 mmol/L, pH: 7.4) was quickly added to the reaction solution to stop the reaction. Each 270 μL of the mixed solution was poured into each well of MultiScreen™ (Millipore), and sucked. The wells were washed four times with 200 μL of ice-cooled solution containing sucrose (250 mmol/L) and Tris/Hepes (10 mmol/L, pH: 7.4). The radioactivity trapped on a filter of each well was measured. The amount of methotrexate transported into the membrane vesicle was calculated from the radioactivity.
  • Further, the IC50 value of the test compound [concentration inhibiting methotrexate transport by 50%, inhibitory concentration (μmol/L)] was obtained according to the above-mentioned method.

  • Comparison example 1 Action on BCRP-Mediated Methotrexate Transport (Testing Method)
  • Action on BCRP-mediated methotrexate transport was tested with respect to allopurinol and oxypurinol in the same manner as in Example 1.
  • (Results)
  • Each of allopurinol and oxypurinol did not exhibit an inhibitory action even at concentration of 100 mmol/L.
  • Example 2 Influence on anti-cancer agent resistance in BCRP-overexpressing cells (Flp-In-293/BCRP) (Testing Method)
  • Flp-In-293/ABCG2 cells and Flp-In-293/Mock cells were used in the experiment (Wakabayashi et al.: J. Exp. Ther. Oncol., 5:205-222 (2006)).
  • The cells were cultured under the atmosphere of 5% CO2 using DMEM containing FCS (10%), penicillin (100 I/mL), streptomycin (100 μg/mL), amphotericin B (250 ng/mL), hygromycin B (100 μg/mL), and L-glutamine (2 mmol/L).
  • The resistance of Flp-In-293 cells to an agent was profiled by counting living cells using MTT assay. In more detail, the cells were seeded in 96-wells plate at the concentration of 2×103 cells/well, and cultured for 24 hours. SN-38 and the compound 1 (potassium salt of 2-[3-cyano-4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]-4-hydroxythiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine or compound 2 (2-[3-cyano-4-(4-fluorophenoxy)phenyl]thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine) were added to the cells, and the cells were further incubated for 72 hours. The cells were treated with MTT (500 μg/mL), and were further incubated for 4 hours. Then the cells were treated with 100 μL of 10% SDS, and were incubated overnight. The formed MTT-formazan (metabolite of MTT, which is formed by living cells) was measured at the wavelength of 570 nm and 630 nm.
  • (Results)
  • Each of the compounds 1 and 2 reversed the resistance of Flp-In-293/ABCG2 cells to SN-38 in a concentration-dependent manner. The compound 1 reversed the resistance by about 96%, and the compound 2 reversed by about 90% at the concentration of 5 μmol/L. Further, the compounds did not affect viability of Flp-In-293/ABCG2 cells up to the examined concentration of 10 μmol/L.
  • Therefore, it has been confirmed that the compounds 1 and 2 do not exhibit toxicity to the cells, and do exhibit effect of overcoming anti-cancer agent resistance in the BCRP-overexpressing cells without exhibiting toxicity to the cells.
  • Example 3 and Comparison example 2 Influence on Anti-Cancer Agent Resistance in BCRP-Overexpressing Cells (Flp-In-293/BCRP) (Testing Method)
  • Influence on anti-cancer agent resistance in BCRP-overexpressing cells (Flp-In-293/BCRP) was tested in the same manner as in Example 2 with respect to 2-(3-cyano-4-phenoxyphenyl)-4-hydroxythiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine (compound 5), TMX-67, FYX-051, allopurinol, oxypurinol, and Y-700.
  • (Results) (i) Degree of Overcoming Resistance to SN-38
  • The compound 5, TMX-67 and FYX-051 reversed the resistance by about 96%, about 82%, and about 39% respectively at the concentration of 5 μmol/L. On the other hand, allopurinol and oxypurinol did not exhibit an effect of overcoming resistance to SN-38. Further, Y-700 also did not exhibit an effect of overcoming the resistance in the concentration not exhibiting toxicity to the cells.
  • (ii) Toxicity to the Cells
  • The compound 5, TMX-67, FYX-051, allopurinol, and oxypurinol did not exhibit toxicity to the cells at the concentration of 10 μmol/L. Y-700 exhibits toxicity to the cells at the concentration of 5 μmol/L or higher.
