Definitions
- the present invention is in the area of pharmaceutical chemistry and specifically relates to certain steroid analogues, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for neuroprotection in the treatment and prevention of traumatic brain injury and brain injury caused by stroke.
- Traumatic brain injuries result from a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain, with severity ranging from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury.
- strokes are a result of diseases that affect the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain.
- a stroke occurs when a blood vessel that brings oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts (hemorrhagic stroke) or is clogged by a blood clot or some other mass (ischemic stroke).
- ischemic stroke The majority of strokes are ischemic, however hemorrhagic strokes typically result in more severe injuries.
- inflammation is a principle cause of secondary damage and long-term damage.
- a cascade of physiological events leads to neuronal loss including, for example, an inflammatory immune response and excitotoxicity resulting from disrupting the glutamate, acetylcholine, cholinergic, GABA A , and NMDA receptor systems.
- a complex cascade of events leads to the delivery of blood-borne leucocytes to sites of injury to kill potential pathogens and promote tissue repair.
- the powerful inflammatory response has the capacity to cause damage to normal tissue, and dysregulation of the innate, or acquired immune response is involved in different pathologies.
- inflammation is being recognized as a key component of a variety of nervous system disorders. It has long been known that certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis result from inflammation in the central nervous system, but it is only in recent years that it has been suggested that inflammation may significantly contribute to neurodegenerative disoders such as HIV-related dementia, Alzheimer's and prion diseases. It is now known that the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), the microglia, when activated may secrete molecules that cause neuronal dysfunction, or degeneration.
- CNS central nervous system
- progesterone is a potent neurosteroid that, acutely administered, can dramatically reduce cerebral edema, inflammation, tissue necrosis, and programmed cell death (see Djebaili, M. et al, J. Neurotrauma 2005, 22, 106-118; Pettus, E. H. et al., Brain Res. 2005, 1049, 112-119; Grossman, K. J. et al., Brain Res, 2004, 1008, 29-39; He, J. et al., Exp. Neurol.
- progesterone In vivo data has demonstrated progesterone's neuroprotective effects in injured nervous systems. For example, following a contusion injury, progesterone reduces the severity of post injury cerebral edema. The attenuation of edema by progesterone is accompanied by the sparing of neurons from secondary neuronal death and improvements in cognitive outcome (Roof et al. (1994) Experimental Neurology 129:64-69). Furthermore, following ischemic injury in rats, progesterone has been shown to reduce cell damage and neurological deficit (Jiang et al. (1996) Brain Research 735:101-107).
- PCT Publication WO 02/30409 to Emory University provides methods for conferring a neuroprotective effect on a population of cells in a subject following a traumatic injury to the central nervous system by administration of a progestin or progestin metabolite following a traumatic brain injury.
- PCT Publication WO 06/102644 also to Emory University provides methods for the treatment or the prevention of neuronal damage in the CNS by tapered administration of a progestin or progestin metabolite following a traumatic or ischemic injury to the CNS to avoid withdrawal.
- PCT Publication No. WO/2006/102596 to Emory University provides certain methods of treating a subject with a traumatic central nervous system injury, more particularly, a traumatic brain injury that include a therapy comprising a constant or a two-level dosing regime of progesterone.
- progesterone has been shown to be neuroprotective in traumatic brain injury, its efficacy in stroke is less well defined. However, studies have indicated that progesterone may be useful in treating or preventing neurodegeneration following stroke (see Stein, D. (2005) The Case for Progesterone US Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 1052:152-169; Murphy, et al. (2002) Progesterone Administration During Reperfusion, But Not Preischemia Alone, Reduces Injury in Ovariectomized Rats. J. Cereb. Blood Flow & Metab. 22:1181-1188; Murphy, et al. (2000) Progesterone Exacerbates Striatal Stroke Injury in Progesterone-Deficient Female Animals. Stroke 31:1173).
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,245,757 now expired, to Research Corporation Technologies, Inc. provides a method for the treatment of ischemic damage, such as damage due to stroke or myocardial infarction comprising administering to a mammal afflicted with stroke an effective amount of a neuroprotective steroid in a suitable vehicle.
- progesterone In addition to being a gonadal steroid, progesterone also belongs to a family of autocrine/paracrine hormones called neurosteroids. Neurosteroids are steroids that accumulate in the brain independently of endocrine sources and which can be synthesized from sterol precursors in nervous cells. These neurosteroids can potentiate GABA transmission, modulate the effects of glutamate, enhance the production of myclin, and prevent release of free radicals from activated microglia.
- progesterone metabolites have also been suggested to have neuroprotective properties.
- progesterone metabolites allopregnanolone or epipregnanolone are positive modulators of the GABA receptor, increasing the effects of GABA in a manner that is independent of the benzodiazepines (Baulieu, E. E. (1992) Adv. Biochem. Psychopharmacol. 47:1-16; Robel et al. (1995) Crit. Rev. Neurobiol. 9:383-94; Lambert et al. (1995) Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 16:295-303; Baulieu, E. E. (1997) Recent Prog. Horm. Res. 52:1-32; Reddy et al.
- neurosteroids act as antagonists at the sigma receptor, which can activate the NMDA channel complex (Maurice et al. (1998) Neuroscience 83:413-28; Maurice et al. (1996) J. Neurosci. Res. 46:734-43; Reddy et al. (1998) Neuroreport 9:3069-73). These neurosteroids have also been shown to reduce the stimulation of cholinergic neurons and the subsequent release of acetylcholine by excitability.
- progesterone itself as a therapeutic suffers from several drawbacks, including most notably its poor solubility and its potential for generating unwanted side effects. Therefore, there is a need for progesterone analogues that exhibit improved solubility and bioavailability for the treatment of ischemic, hemorrhagic or traumatic central nervous injury.
- novel steroid analogues functionalized with polar groups at the C3 and C20 positions that exhibit greater water solubility than the parent compounds and are useful for the prevention and treatment of nervous system damage, in particular due to neurodegenerative reactions to injury or disease.

- a traumatic injury to the CNS results in multiple physiological events that impact the extent and rate of neurodegeneration, and thus the final clinical outcome of the injury.
- the treatment of a traumatic injury to the CNS encompasses any reduction and/or prevention in one or more of the various physiological events that follow the initial impact.
- cerebral edema frequently develops following a traumatic injury to the CNS and is a leading cause of death and disability.
- Cortical contusions for example, produce massive increases in brain tissue water content which, in turn, can cause increased intracranial pressure leading to reduced cerebral blood flow and additional neuronal loss.
- the methods of the invention find use in reducing and/or eliminating cerebral edema and/or reducing the duration of the edemic event following a traumatic injury to the CNS.
- Assays to determine a reduction in edema are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, a decrease in tissue water content following the administration of the progestin or the progestin metabolite (Betz et al. (1990) Stroke 21:1199-204, which is herein incorporated by reference).
- an overall improvement in behavioral recovery can also be used as a measure for a decrease in edema.
- a decrease in edema in the effected tissue by at least about 15% to 30%, about 30% to 45%, about 45% to 60%, about 60% to 80%, or about 80% to 95% or greater will be therapeutically beneficial, as will any reduction in the duration of the edemic event.
- Infiltrating leukocytes are thought to contribute to secondary ischemic damage by producing toxic substances that kill brain cells and disrupt the blood-brain barrier (see del Zoppo, et al. (2000) Advances in the vascular pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Thromb Res. 98: 73-81)
- ICAM-1 endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1
- TBI also elicits inflammatory, and in particular a immune responses. See, for example, Soares et al. (1995) J. Neurosci. 15:8223-33; Holmin et al. (1995) Acta Neurochir. 132:110-9; Arvin et al. (1996) Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev. 20:445-52.
- a cortical impact severe inflammatory reactions and gliosis at the impact site and at brain areas distal to the primary site of injury occurs.
- the inflammatory response is characterized by the expression of adhesion molecules on the vascular surfaces, resulting in the adherence of immune cells and subsequent extravasation into the brain parenchyma.
- cytokines By releasing cytokines, the invading macrophages and neutrophils stimulate reactive astrocytosis. Release of different chemokines by other cell types induces these immune cells to become phagocytic, with the simultaneous release of free radicals and pro-inflammatory compounds, e.g., cytokines, prostaglandins, and excitotoxins (Arvin et al. (1996) Neurosci. Biobehav. Ref 20:445-52; Raivich et al. (1996) Kelo J. Med. 45:239-47; Mattson et al. (1997) Brain Res. Rev. 23:47-61; all of which are herein incorporated by reference).

- the neuroprotection resulting from the methods of the present invention will result in at least about a 10% to 20%, 20% to 30%, 30% to 40%, 40% to 60%, 60% to 80% or greater increase in neuronal survival and/or behavioral recovery as compared to the control groups.
- GAP-43 Growth Associated Protein 43
- Other histological markers can include a decrease in astrogliosis and microgliosis.
- a delay in cellular death can be assayed using TUNEL labeling in injured tissue.
- anatomical measures that can be used to determine an increase in neuroprotection include counting specific neuronal cell types to determine if the progestin or the progestin metabolite is preferentially preserving a particular cell type (e.g., cholinergic cells) or neurons in general.
- behavioral assays can be used to determine the rate and extent of behavior recovery in response to the treatment. Improved patient motor skills, spatial learning performance, cognitive function, sensory perception, speech and/or a decrease in the propensity to seizure may also be used to measure the neuroprotective effect.
- Such functional/behavioral tests used to assess sensorimortor and reflex function are described in, for example, Bederson et al. (1986) Stroke 17:472-476, DeRyck et al. (1992) Brain Res. 573:44-60, Markgraf et al. (1992) Brain Res. 575:238-246, Alexis et al. (1995) Stroke 26:2336-2346; all of which are herein incorporated by reference.

- the compounds were intravenously (IV) dosed at 10 mg/kg and serum samples were taken at several time points over the course of 12 h. Serum concentration levels were determined for the analogues, as well as for their respective parent compound.
- the derivatives P1-31 and P1-33 behaved very similarly in vivo ( FIG. 7 ). The amino acid side chain in both compounds was cleaved almost immediately to give rapid conversion to their mutual parent, the C-3- ⁇ -hydroxy compound 3. However, in the case of the ALLO derivative P1-131, the valine tethered compound was stable for a prolonged period of time and only gradually converted to its parent, ALLO (2, FIG. 4 ).
- the data indicates a distinct difference in the susceptibility of the amino acid side chain to hydrolysis resulting from relatively small differences in saturation and conformation.
- the more sterically congested A-ring of P1-131 could be thought to provide some protection to active esterases relative to the unsaturated A-ring of P1-31 type compounds, or perhaps also important is the relative ⁇ -(P1-131) or ⁇ -(P1-31) face orientation of the side chain.
- the oxime based compound P1-186 did indeed generate PROG in vivo when dosed either IV or intraperitoneally (IP) at 10 mg/kg ( FIG. 5 ).
- the PROG levels observed via both modes of administration reached a maximum of approximately 100 ng/mL, which compares favorably to a previously reported maximum serum concentration of 28 ng/mL when PROG was administered IP at 4 mg/kg to male rats (Wright et al., J. Neurotrama, 2001, 18, 901-094).
- the amino acid tether of compound P1-186 is readily cleaved to give primarily the parent oxime P2-02 ( FIG. 8 ), which is stable in vivo for several hours.
- the potential implication of this data is that it is the intermediate oxime compound (P2-02) that may be responsible for achieving the neuroprotective effects observed in both the in vitro and cerebral edema assays, not progesterone, as might have been suspected.

Description
- This application is a division of U.S. application Ser. No. 12/918,036 filed Aug. 17, 2010, which is the National Stage of International Application Number PCT/US2009/035336 filed Feb. 26, 2009, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/031,567 filed Feb. 26, 2008, U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/031,629 filed Feb. 26, 2008, U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/032,315 filed Feb. 28, 2008, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/148,811 filed Jan. 30, 2009. The entirety of each of these applications is hereby incorporated by reference for all purposes.
- The present invention is in the area of pharmaceutical chemistry and specifically relates to certain steroid analogues, pharmaceutical compositions and methods for neuroprotection in the treatment and prevention of traumatic brain injury and brain injury caused by stroke.
- Brain injuries, including traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke, affect well over 2 million Americans each year and are a significant health concern worldwide. There are currently approximately 5.7 million stroke survivors in the US, many with permanent disabilities, and more than 5 million Americans who have suffered a TBI that in some cases results in the permanent need for help in performing daily activities. Traumatic brain injuries result from a blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the function of the brain, with severity ranging from “mild,” i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness to “severe,” i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia after the injury. In contrast, strokes are a result of diseases that affect the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel that brings oxygen and nutrients to the brain either bursts (hemorrhagic stroke) or is clogged by a blood clot or some other mass (ischemic stroke). The majority of strokes are ischemic, however hemorrhagic strokes typically result in more severe injuries.
- Despite several decades of effort, scientists have not yet found a pharmacological agent that consistently improves outcomes after stroke or TBI (see Sauerland, S. et al., Lancet 2004, 364, 1291-1292; Brain Trauma Foundation, American Association of Neurological Surgeons, Joint Section on Neurotrauma and Critical Care. Guidelines for the management of severe head injury. J. Neurotrauma 1996, 13, 641-734).
- After TBI or stroke, inflammation is a principle cause of secondary damage and long-term damage. Following insults to the central nervous system, a cascade of physiological events leads to neuronal loss including, for example, an inflammatory immune response and excitotoxicity resulting from disrupting the glutamate, acetylcholine, cholinergic, GABAA, and NMDA receptor systems. In these cases, a complex cascade of events leads to the delivery of blood-borne leucocytes to sites of injury to kill potential pathogens and promote tissue repair. However, the powerful inflammatory response has the capacity to cause damage to normal tissue, and dysregulation of the innate, or acquired immune response is involved in different pathologies.
- In addition to TBI and stroke, inflammation is being recognized as a key component of a variety of nervous system disorders. It has long been known that certain diseases such as multiple sclerosis result from inflammation in the central nervous system, but it is only in recent years that it has been suggested that inflammation may significantly contribute to neurodegenerative disoders such as HIV-related dementia, Alzheimer's and prion diseases. It is now known that the resident macrophages of the central nervous system (CNS), the microglia, when activated may secrete molecules that cause neuronal dysfunction, or degeneration.
- There is growing experimental evidence that progesterone, its metabolites and other gonadal steroids such as estrogen and possibly testosterone, are effective neuroprotective agents. Pre-clinical and clinical research demonstrates that the hormone progesterone is a potent neurosteroid that, acutely administered, can dramatically reduce cerebral edema, inflammation, tissue necrosis, and programmed cell death (see Djebaili, M. et al, J. Neurotrauma 2005, 22, 106-118; Pettus, E. H. et al., Brain Res. 2005, 1049, 112-119; Grossman, K. J. et al., Brain Res, 2004, 1008, 29-39; He, J. et al., Exp. Neurol. 2004, 189, 404-412; He, J. et al., Restor. Neurol. Neurosci. 2004, 22, 19-31; Djebaili, M. et al., J. Neuroscience 2004, 123, 349-359; Hoffman, S. W. et al., Academy of Emergency Medicine, 2001, 8, 496-497; and Wright, D. W. et al., J. Neurotrauma. 2001, 18, 901-909).
- In vivo data has demonstrated progesterone's neuroprotective effects in injured nervous systems. For example, following a contusion injury, progesterone reduces the severity of post injury cerebral edema. The attenuation of edema by progesterone is accompanied by the sparing of neurons from secondary neuronal death and improvements in cognitive outcome (Roof et al. (1994) Experimental Neurology 129:64-69). Furthermore, following ischemic injury in rats, progesterone has been shown to reduce cell damage and neurological deficit (Jiang et al. (1996) Brain Research 735:101-107). A Phase II, single-center, controlled trial involving 100 moderate to severe TBI patients showed that 3 days of intravenous progesterone treatment reduced mortality by over 60% and significantly improved functional outcomes at 30 days post-injury (see Wright, D. A. et al., Ann. Emerg. Med. 2007, 49, 391).
- PCT Publication WO 02/30409 to Emory University provides methods for conferring a neuroprotective effect on a population of cells in a subject following a traumatic injury to the central nervous system by administration of a progestin or progestin metabolite following a traumatic brain injury.
- PCT Publication WO 06/102644 also to Emory University provides methods for the treatment or the prevention of neuronal damage in the CNS by tapered administration of a progestin or progestin metabolite following a traumatic or ischemic injury to the CNS to avoid withdrawal.
- PCT Publication No. WO/2006/102596 to Emory University provides certain methods of treating a subject with a traumatic central nervous system injury, more particularly, a traumatic brain injury that include a therapy comprising a constant or a two-level dosing regime of progesterone.
- Although progesterone has been shown to be neuroprotective in traumatic brain injury, its efficacy in stroke is less well defined. However, studies have indicated that progesterone may be useful in treating or preventing neurodegeneration following stroke (see Stein, D. (2005) The Case for Progesterone US Ann. N.Y. Acad. Sci. 1052:152-169; Murphy, et al. (2002) Progesterone Administration During Reperfusion, But Not Preischemia Alone, Reduces Injury in Ovariectomized Rats. J. Cereb. Blood Flow & Metab. 22:1181-1188; Murphy, et al. (2000) Progesterone Exacerbates Striatal Stroke Injury in Progesterone-Deficient Female Animals. Stroke 31:1173).
- U.S. Pat. No. 6,245,757, now expired, to Research Corporation Technologies, Inc. provides a method for the treatment of ischemic damage, such as damage due to stroke or myocardial infarction comprising administering to a mammal afflicted with stroke an effective amount of a neuroprotective steroid in a suitable vehicle.
- In addition to being a gonadal steroid, progesterone also belongs to a family of autocrine/paracrine hormones called neurosteroids. Neurosteroids are steroids that accumulate in the brain independently of endocrine sources and which can be synthesized from sterol precursors in nervous cells. These neurosteroids can potentiate GABA transmission, modulate the effects of glutamate, enhance the production of myclin, and prevent release of free radicals from activated microglia.
- Various metabolites of progesterone have also been suggested to have neuroprotective properties. For instance, the progesterone metabolites allopregnanolone or epipregnanolone are positive modulators of the GABA receptor, increasing the effects of GABA in a manner that is independent of the benzodiazepines (Baulieu, E. E. (1992) Adv. Biochem. Psychopharmacol. 47:1-16; Robel et al. (1995) Crit. Rev. Neurobiol. 9:383-94; Lambert et al. (1995) Trends Pharmacol. Sci. 16:295-303; Baulieu, E. E. (1997) Recent Prog. Horm. Res. 52:1-32; Reddy et al. (1996) Psychopharmacology 128:280-92). In addition, these neurosteroids act as antagonists at the sigma receptor, which can activate the NMDA channel complex (Maurice et al. (1998) Neuroscience 83:413-28; Maurice et al. (1996) J. Neurosci. Res. 46:734-43; Reddy et al. (1998) Neuroreport 9:3069-73). These neurosteroids have also been shown to reduce the stimulation of cholinergic neurons and the subsequent release of acetylcholine by excitability. Numerous studies have shown that the cholinergic neurons of the basal forebrain are sensitive to injury and that excessive release of acetylcholine can be more excitotoxic than glutamate (Lyeth et al. (1992) J. Neurotrauma 9(2):S463-74; Hayes et al. (1992) J. Neurotrauma 9(1):S173-87).
- As discussed above, following a traumatic injury to the central nervous system, a cascade of physiological events leads to neuronal loss. In addition, the injury is frequently followed by brain and/or spinal cord edema that enhances the cascade of injury and leads to further secondary cell death and increased patient mortality. Methods are needed for the in vivo treatment of traumatic CNS injuries that are successful at providing subsequent trophic support to remaining central nervous system tissue, and thus enhancing functional repair and recovery, under the complex physiological cascade of events which follow the initial insult.
- Although successful, the use of progesterone itself as a therapeutic suffers from several drawbacks, including most notably its poor solubility and its potential for generating unwanted side effects. Therefore, there is a need for progesterone analogues that exhibit improved solubility and bioavailability for the treatment of ischemic, hemorrhagic or traumatic central nervous injury.
- Provided are novel steroid analogues functionalized with polar groups at the C3 and C20 positions that exhibit greater water solubility than the parent compounds and are useful for the prevention and treatment of nervous system damage, in particular due to neurodegenerative reactions to injury or disease.

In other embodiments, the steroid analogues are derivatized at the 3- and/or 20-positions with a carbohydrate or a substituted acyl group. The steroid analogues are optionally substituted with non-hydrogen substituents at the 9-, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-positions and may contain double bonds between C1 and C2, C4 and C5 and between C5 and C6.

Therefore, the intravenous administration of progesterone is difficult in a clinical setting and the dose is limited by the low aqueous solubility of the compound. The present invention provides novel steroid analogues that comprise polar groups and exhibit increased aqueous solubility. Also provided are pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and prodrugs of the steroid analogues. The compounds, salts, esters and prodrugs provided are useful for the treatment or prevention of central nervous system injury, particularly for the treatment or prevention of damage arising from a traumatic brain injury and the treatment or prevention of injuries occurring from stroke.
- The term “steroid analogues” as used herein is intended to encompass analogues of progesterone, analogues of progesterone metabolites or derivatives and other non-progestin steroid compounds. The steroid analogues of the invention exhibit increased solubility in aqueous solvents and are capable of forming pharmaceutically acceptable salts that further increase their aqueous solubility. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising the inventive steroid analogues, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters or prodrugs thereof, and methods for the treatment or prevention of CNS injuries, including traumatic brain injury and stroke. In particular, the present invention relates to steroid analogues that comprise amino acid residues, carbohydrates or other suitable polar groups at the 3- and/or 20-positions of the steroid ring system. The improved water solubility of the steroid analogues of the invention can facilitate the administration of the compounds, in particular intravenous administration, which provides the fastest possible exposure of the active agent to the brain or other CNS sites where it is needed, increasing the efficacy of the drug. In addition, the inventive steroid analogs can minimize undesired side effects that are typically accompany acute or prolonged treatment with progesterone, such as sleepiness, reduced arousal and increased blood clotting.
- The compounds of the present invention are steroid analogues that are modified to comprise polar groups and exhibit a greater aqueous solubility than the naturally occurring parent compounds. In one embodiment, analogues of steroid compounds are provided that are modified at the 3- and/or 20-position of the steroid ring system to incorporate polar groups. The ring numbering shown below for the structure of progesterone (PROG) is maintained throughout this document to avoid ambiguity.
- Substituents on the steroid analogues that lie below the plane of the paper as drawn are termed in the “α” or “alpha” configuration. Substituents that lie above the plane of the paper are termed in the “β” or “beta” configuration. For example the two methyl groups shown in the progesterone structure below are in the beta configuration.

In still another embodiment, steroid analogues comprising amino acid residues and/or carbohydrates or other polar groups at the 3- and at the 20-positions of the ring system are provided. The inventive steroid analogues have greater aqueous solubility than the parent compounds and are thus advantageous for administration, in particular in situations in which rapid availability and effective dosing of the compounds are critical. In some embodiments, the steroid analogues comprise a basic nitrogen group that enables the formation of pharmaceutically acceptable salts and prodrugs. The inventive steroid analogues are useful for the treatment or prevention of central nervous system injury, particularly traumatic brain injury and stroke.

- The present invention provides methods and compositions for the treatment or prevention of neurodegeneration following an injury to the central nervous system or due to certain neurodegenerative disorders comprising administering an effective amount of steroid analog, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof to a host in need thereof. Multiple physiological events lead to neurodegeneration. These events include, for example, increase in the immune and inflammatory response, demyelinization, and lipid peroxidation. The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing or eliminating neuronal cell death, edema, ischemia, and enhancing tissue viability following injury to the central nervous system or certain disorders. The analogues, salts, esters or prodrugs of the steroid or secosteroid analogs may be optionally administered with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent.
- By “treatment or prevention” is intended any enhanced survival, proliferation, and/or neurite outgrowth of the neurons that either prevents or retards neurodegeneration, the progressive loss of neurons. As used herein, “neuroprotection” is the prevention, arrest or reverse progression of neurodegeneration following a central nervous system injury. The neuroprotective effect includes both improved morphological (i.e., enhanced tissue viability) and/or behavioral recovery. CNS injuries that are encompassed within the scope of treatment of the present invention include both traumatic injuries, in particular TBI, and physiological insults such as an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In both instances, a progressive loss of neurons after the initial insult occurs and can be alleviated by use of the inventive compounds.
- In certain embodiments, a method of preventing or reducing inflammatory reactions in a patient is provided that includes administering a steroid analog to a host in need thereof. In certain embodiments, methods of neuroprotection are provided comprising administering a compound of the invention, its physiologically acceptable salt or prodrug, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, to a patient at risk of suffering from a stroke. In other embodiments, methods of treating or preventing neuronal damage are provided comprising administering a compound of the invention or its physiologically acceptable salt or prodrug, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, to a patient who has suffered from an ischemic stroke. The method can reduce or prevent neurodegeneration such as that caused by excitotoxic or inflammatory reactions, or can enhance neuronal proliferation, growth or differentiation in the period after the injury. In yet further embodiments, methods of treating or preventing cognitive or behavioral deficits after a stroke is provided comprising administering a compound of the invention or its physiologically acceptable salt or prodrug, optionally in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, to a patient who has suffered a stroke. In certain embodiments, the stroke is an ischemic stroke, but it can alternatively be a hemorrhagic stroke.
- In other embodiments, the present invention provides a method to achieve a neuroprotective effect following a traumatic CNS injury in a mammal, in particular in a human, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of steroid analogue of the invention. A traumatic injury to the CNS is characterized by a physical impact to the central nervous system. The physical forces resulting in a traumatic brain injury cause their effects by inducing three types of injury: skull fracture, parenchymal injury, and vascular injury. A blow to the surface of the brain typically leads to rapid tissue displacement, disruption of vascular channels, and subsequent hemorrhage, tissue injury and edema. Morphological evidence of injury in the neuronal cell body includes pyknosis of nucleus, eosinophilia of the cytoplasm, and disintegration of the cell. Furthermore, axonal swelling can develop in the vicinity of damage neurons and also at great distances away from the site of impact.
- In certain embodiments, the compound is administered within twelve hours after onset of a stroke. In certain embodiments, the steroid analogue of the invention is administered within twelve hours after an injury, such as a TBI. In some embodiments, the compounds are administered within 11 hours of a TBI, stroke or other injury to the brain, or within 10 hours, or within 9 hours, or within 8 hours, or within 7 hours, or within 6 hours, or within 5 hours, or within 4 hours, or within 3 hours, such as within two or one hour. In some other embodiments, the compounds are administered within one day (i.e. 24 hours) of the injury. In certain embodiments, the compounds are provided to individuals at risk of a stroke, such as those who are suffering from atherosclerosis or have a family history of heart disease. These compounds can be provided to individuals as a preventative therapy to decrease neural trauma.
- In another embodiment, a method for decreasing ischemia following a brain injury is provided comprising administering an effective amount of a steroid analogue of the invention. The methods of the invention provide a means to reduce or eliminate the inflammatory immune reactions that follow a CNS injury. By reducing the inflammatory response, the steroid analogues of the present invention can substantially reduce brain swelling and reduce the amount of neurotoxic substances (e.g., free radicals and excitotoxins) that are released from the site of injury.
- The present invention provides for a method of treating a brain injury by administering to a subject steroid analogue of the invention, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a prodrug or ester thereof. The concentration of the steroid analogue or salt, ester or prodrug thereof, in accordance with the present invention is effective in the treatment or prevention of neuronal damage that follows either a traumatic, ischemic or hemorrhagic injury to the CNS and hence, elicits a neuroprotective effect. The therapeutically effective amount will depend on many factors including, for example, the specific activity of the steroid analogue administered, the type of injury, the severity and pattern of the injury, the resulting neuronal damage, the responsiveness of the patient, the weight of the patient along with other intraperson variability, the method of administration, and the formulation used.
- It is recognized that a traumatic injury to the CNS results in multiple physiological events that impact the extent and rate of neurodegeneration, and thus the final clinical outcome of the injury. The treatment of a traumatic injury to the CNS, as defined by the present invention, encompasses any reduction and/or prevention in one or more of the various physiological events that follow the initial impact. For example, cerebral edema frequently develops following a traumatic injury to the CNS and is a leading cause of death and disability. Cortical contusions, for example, produce massive increases in brain tissue water content which, in turn, can cause increased intracranial pressure leading to reduced cerebral blood flow and additional neuronal loss. Hence, the methods of the invention find use in reducing and/or eliminating cerebral edema and/or reducing the duration of the edemic event following a traumatic injury to the CNS. Assays to determine a reduction in edema are known in the art and include, but are not limited to, a decrease in tissue water content following the administration of the progestin or the progestin metabolite (Betz et al. (1990) Stroke 21:1199-204, which is herein incorporated by reference). Furthermore, an overall improvement in behavioral recovery can also be used as a measure for a decrease in edema. A decrease in edema in the effected tissue by at least about 15% to 30%, about 30% to 45%, about 45% to 60%, about 60% to 80%, or about 80% to 95% or greater will be therapeutically beneficial, as will any reduction in the duration of the edemic event.
- Further physiological effects of brain injury include an inflammatory response. In particular, some studies indicate that the acute inflammatory response contributes significantly to injury after ischemia (see Perera, et al. (2005) Inflammation following stroke. J. Clin. Neurosc. 13:1-8; Barone and Feuerstein (1999) Inflammatory mediators and stroke: new opportunities for novel therapeutics). The stroke process triggers an inflammatory reaction that may last up to several months. Suppression of inflammation can reduce infarct volume and improve clinical outcomes even with the initiation of therapy after 3 hours of onset of stroke. In addition, an immune response can be triggered both by strokes. Infiltrating leukocytes are thought to contribute to secondary ischemic damage by producing toxic substances that kill brain cells and disrupt the blood-brain barrier (see del Zoppo, et al. (2000) Advances in the vascular pathophysiology of ischemic stroke. Thromb Res. 98: 73-81)
- Infiltration occurs when leukocytes bind endothelial intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and ICAM-1 is upregulated after ischemia.
- TBI also elicits inflammatory, and in particular a immune responses. See, for example, Soares et al. (1995) J. Neurosci. 15:8223-33; Holmin et al. (1995) Acta Neurochir. 132:110-9; Arvin et al. (1996) Neurosci. Biobehav. Rev. 20:445-52. Following a cortical impact, severe inflammatory reactions and gliosis at the impact site and at brain areas distal to the primary site of injury occurs. The inflammatory response is characterized by the expression of adhesion molecules on the vascular surfaces, resulting in the adherence of immune cells and subsequent extravasation into the brain parenchyma. By releasing cytokines, the invading macrophages and neutrophils stimulate reactive astrocytosis. Release of different chemokines by other cell types induces these immune cells to become phagocytic, with the simultaneous release of free radicals and pro-inflammatory compounds, e.g., cytokines, prostaglandins, and excitotoxins (Arvin et al. (1996) Neurosci. Biobehav. Ref 20:445-52; Raivich et al. (1996) Kelo J. Med. 45:239-47; Mattson et al. (1997) Brain Res. Rev. 23:47-61; all of which are herein incorporated by reference).
- Assays for assessing the efficacy of the compounds described herein include assays to determine a decrease in an ischemic event include, for example, a decrease in infarct area, improved body weight, and improved neurological outcome. Assays to measure a reduction in lipid peroxidation in both brain homogenate and in mitochondria are known in the art and include, for example, the thiobarbituric acid method (Roof et al. (1997) Mol. Chem. Neuropathol. 31: 1-11; Subramanian et al. (1993) Neurosci. Lett. 155:151-4; Goodman et al. (1996) J. Neurochem. 66:1836-44; Vedder et al. (1999) J. Neurochem. 72:2531-8; all of which are herein incorporated by reference) and various in vitro free radical generating systems. Furthermore, alterations in the levels of critical free radical scavenger enzymes, such as mitochondrial glutathione can be assayed. See, for example, Subramanian et al. (1993) Neurosci. Lett. 155:151-4; and Vedder et al. (1999) J. Neurochem. 72:2531-8; both of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- Methods to quantify the extent of central nervous system damage (i.e., neurodegeneration) and to determine if neuronal damage was treated or prevented following the administration of a progesterone or steroid analogue are well known in the art. Such neuroprotective effects can be assayed at various levels, including, for example, by promoting behavioral and morphological (i.e., enhancing tissue viability) recovery after traumatic brain injury. A variety of anatomical, immunocytochemical and immunological assays to determine the effect of the progestin metabolite on necrosis, apoptosis, and neuronal glial repair are known in the art. As such, the neuroprotection resulting from the methods of the present invention will result in at least about a 10% to 20%, 20% to 30%, 30% to 40%, 40% to 60%, 60% to 80% or greater increase in neuronal survival and/or behavioral recovery as compared to the control groups.
- Histological and molecular marker assays for an increase in neuronal survival are known. For example, Growth Associated Protein 43 (GAP-43) can be used as a marker for new axonal growth following a CNS insult. See, for example, Stroemer et al. (1995) Stroke 26:2135-2144, Vaudano et al. (1995) J. of Neurosci 15:3594-3611. Other histological markers can include a decrease in astrogliosis and microgliosis. Alternatively, a delay in cellular death can be assayed using TUNEL labeling in injured tissue. Further anatomical measures that can be used to determine an increase in neuroprotection include counting specific neuronal cell types to determine if the progestin or the progestin metabolite is preferentially preserving a particular cell type (e.g., cholinergic cells) or neurons in general.
- In addition, behavioral assays can be used to determine the rate and extent of behavior recovery in response to the treatment. Improved patient motor skills, spatial learning performance, cognitive function, sensory perception, speech and/or a decrease in the propensity to seizure may also be used to measure the neuroprotective effect. Such functional/behavioral tests used to assess sensorimortor and reflex function are described in, for example, Bederson et al. (1986) Stroke 17:472-476, DeRyck et al. (1992) Brain Res. 573:44-60, Markgraf et al. (1992) Brain Res. 575:238-246, Alexis et al. (1995) Stroke 26:2336-2346; all of which are herein incorporated by reference. Enhancement of neuronal survival may also be measured using the Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) or the Barthl Index. Behavioral recovery can be further assessed using the recommendations of the Subcommittee of the NIH/NINDS Head Injury Centers in Humans (Hannay et al. (1996) J. Head Trauma Rehabil. 11:41-50), herein incorporated by reference. Behavioral recovery can be further assessed using the methods described in, for example, Beaumont et al. (1999) Neurol Res. 21:742-754; Becker et al. (1980) Brain Res. 200:07-320; Buresov et al. (1983) Techniques and Basic Experiments for the Study of Brain and Behavior; Kline et al. (1994) Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 48:773-779; Lindner et al. (1998) J. Neurotrauma 15:199-216; Morris (1984) J. Neurosci. Methods 11:47-60; Schallert et al. (1983) Pharmacol. Biochem. Behav. 18:753-759.
- Assays that can be used to determine if the steroid analogue of the invention is imparting an anti-inflammatory and a nonspecific suppressive effect on the immune system following a traumatic CNS injury include, for example, a reduction in cytokine induced microglial proliferation in vitro (Hoffman et al. (1994) J. Neurotrauma 11:417-31; Garcia-Estrada et al. (1993) Brain Res. 628:271-8; both of which are herein incorporated by reference); a reduction in the generation of cytotoxic free radicals by activated macrophages (Chao et al. (1994) Am. J. Reprod. Immunol. 32:43-52; Robert et al. (1997) Nitric Oxide 1:453-62; Kelly et al. (1997) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 239:557-61; Ganter et al. (1992) J. Neurosci. Res. 33:218-30; all of which are herein incorporated by reference); a reduction in the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthetase and the amount of nitric oxide release by macrophages (Robert et al. (1997) Nitric Oxide 1:453-62; Miller et al. (1996) J. Leukoc. Biol. 59:442-50; both of which are herein incorporated by reference); the release of a “progesterone-induced blocking factor” that inhibits natural killer cell activity (Cheek et al. (1997) Am. J. Reprod. Immunol. 37:17-20; Szekeres-Bartho et al. (1997) Cell Immunol. 177:194-9; Szekeres-Bartho et al. (1996) Am. J. Reprod. Immunol. 35:348-51; all of which are herein incorporated by reference); a decrease in the number of GFAP-positive astrocytes after brain injury which is suggestive of less secondary damage (Garcia-Estrada et al. (1993) Brain Res. 628:271-8; Garcie-Estrada et al. (1999) Int. J. Dev. Neurosci. 17:145-51; Cheek et al. (1997) Am. J. Reprod. Immunol. 37:17-20; Szekeres-Bartho et al. (1997) Cell Immunol. 177:194-9; Szekeres-Bartho et al. (1996) Am. J. Reprod. Immunol. 35:348-51; all of which are herein incorporated by reference); a reduction in the number of inflammatory immune cells (OX42-positive cells); a reduction in the loss of ChAT-positive and COX-positive neurons; a reduction in the number of TUNEL-positive and MnSOD-positive neurons; and an increase in the intensity of succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase activity.
- Furthermore, a reduction in the inflammatory immune reactions following a traumatic brain injury can be assayed by measuring the cytokines level following the injury in the sham controls versus the progestin treated subjects. Cytokines are mediators of inflammation and are released in high concentrations after brain injury. The level of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., interleukin 1-beta, tumor necrosis factor, and interleukin 6) and the level of anti-inflammatory cytokines (e.g.,
interleukin 10 and transforming growth factor-beta) can be measured. For instance, “real-time” polymerase chain reactions (PCR) can be used to measure the strength of the mRNA signal and ELISA can be used to determine protein levels. In addition, histological analysis for different inflammatory cell types (e.g., reactive astrocytes, macrophages and microglia) can be used to measure a reduction in the inflammatory response. - The compounds of the invention can also have potential for use in other disorders including multiple sclerosis, catamenial epilepsy, diabetic neuropathy, inflammatory disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease), hemorrhagic shock, Niemann-Pick disorder, cerebral palsy, and congenital heart disorders.
- In specific embodiments, a method of treatment or prevention of neural degeneration related to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is provided comprising administering a steroid analog described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof, to a patient suffering from or at risk of suffering from ALS. ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, strikes both males and females, typically between the ages of 40 and 70. This is a motor neuron disorder in which both the upper and lower motor neurons are affected. Patients' muscles atrophy as the motor neurons cease sending signals to initiate movement. This affects not only muscles required for locomotion but also the muscles used in swallowing. Up until the age of 60, males are disproportionally affected at a ratio of 1.5 to 1. After the age of 60, the numbers are equal across genders. The incidence of ALS is approximately ½ that of multiple sclerosis. Life expectancy post-diagnosis is 2-5 years. There are 120,000 cases of ALS diagnosed worldwide and 350,000 patients coping with the disease at any given time. A treatment for ALS will clearly qualify for orphan drug status. The cause of ALS has not been identified. The pathogenesis is poorly understood but excitotoxicity, inflammation, oxidative stress and protein aggregation have been shown. In some cases, super oxide dismutase 1 (SOD 1) has been determined to be aberrant. Glutamate toxicity is now generally accepted as part of AS pathology. Progesterone has proven to protect neurons from the effects of this toxicity. The only compound approved for the treatment of ALS is Rilutek™ which may reduce glutamate levels. It is not curative but has reduced the rate of progression in some patients.
- In another specific embodiments, a method of treatment or prevention of neural degeneration related to Parkinson's Disease (PD), is provided comprising administering a steroid analog described herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof, to a patient suffering from or at risk of suffering from PD. PD is a neurodegenerative disease of unknown etiology that results in the progressive loss of nerve cell function in the brain. Life expectancy is 15-25 years post-diagnosis; however, there is no cure. It is estimated that one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson's; a number that is greater than the combined total of multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. The incidence of PD increases with age. Nearly 40,000 people are diagnosed each year with PD, of which ˜15% will be less than 50 years in age. The cost of PD annually exceeds $25 billion when both direct and indirect costs are combined. In PD, cells in the substania nigra of the brain cease to function properly and die. These cells produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter. Dopamine regulates those parts of the brain which control the initiation of movement and coordination. Without dopamine, a patient will begin to experience tremors, bradykinesia, postural instability, rigidity of limbs and trunk, and/or impaired balance and coordination. Not all patients experience all symptoms nor do they progress at the same rate. PD is ultimately debilitating for many sufferers who require assistance in everyday living.

In one embodiment, the inventive steroid analogues of the invention may be administered in combination or alternation with other steroid analogues or with progesterone.
- Other neuroprotective agents of interest include, for example, compounds that reduce glutamate excitotoxicity and enhance neuronal regeneration. Such agents may be selected from, but not limited to, the group comprising growth factors. As used herein, “growth factor” refers to an extracellular polypeptide-signaling molecule that stimulates a cell to grow or proliferate. Preferred growth factors are those to which a broad range of cell types respond. Examples of neurotrophic growth factors include, but are no limited to, fibroblast growth factor family members such as basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (Abraham et al.

- When the steroid analogues of the present invention are administered in combination or alternation with other pharmaceutically active agents, (i.e., other neuroprotective agents) even less of the steroid analogue may be therapeutically effective. The steroid analogue may be administered once or several times a day. The duration of the treatment may be once per day for a period of from two to three weeks and may continue for a period of months or even years. The daily dose can be administered either by a single dose in the form of an individual dosage unit or several smaller dosage units or by multiple administration of subdivided dosages at certain intervals.
- For example, a dosage unit can be administered from 0 hours to 1 hr, 1 hr to 24 hr or 24 hours to at least 100 hours post injury. Alternatively, the dosage unit can be administered from about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 40, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours or longer post injury. Subsequent dosage units can be administered any time following the initial administration such that a therapeutic effect is achieved. For instance, additional dosage units can be administered to protect the subject from the secondary wave of edema that may occur over the first several days post-injury.
- In combination therapy, effective dosages of two or more agents are administered together, whereas during alternation therapy an effective dosage of each agent is administered serially. The dosages will depend on absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the drug as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. It Dosage values will also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. For any particular subject, specific dosage regimens and schedules should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.
- When the compounds or compositions of the present invention are administered in combination or alternation with other pharmaceutically active agents, (i.e., other neuroprotective agents) a lower level of the steroid analog in certain embodiments may be used. The compositions may be administered once or several times a day. The duration of the treatment may be once per day for a period of from two to three weeks and may continue for a period of months or even years. The daily dose can be administered either by a single dose in the form of an individual dosage unit or several smaller dosage units or by multiple administration of subdivided dosages at certain intervals.
- For example, a dosage unit can be administered from 0 hours to 1 hr, 1 hr to 24 hr or 24 hours to at least 100 hours post injury. Alternatively, the dosage unit can be administered from about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 40, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours or longer post injury.

The dosages will depend on absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the drug as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. It is to be noted that dosage values will also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens and schedules should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions.
- The efficacy of a drug can be prolonged, augmented, or restored by administering the compound in combination or alternation with a second, and perhaps third, agent. Alternatively, the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution or other parameter of the drug can be altered by such combination or alternation therapy. In general, combination therapy is typically preferred over alternation therapy because it induces multiple simultaneous stresses on the condition.
- In another embodiment, the active compound is administered in combination or alternation with one or more other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug(s) (NSAIDS). Examples ofNSAIDS that can be used in alternation or combination therapy are carboxylic acids, propionic acids, fenamates, acetic acids, pyrazolones, oxicans, alkanones, gold compounds and others that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, preferably by selectively inhibiting cylcooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Some nonlimiting examples of COX-2 inhibitors are Celebrex (celecoxib) and Vioxx (rofacoxib).

- The described compounds can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered for the treatment or prevention of CNS injury from trauma or disease, and in particular for injury resulting from traumatic brain injury or stroke. The compositions can be administered in any of a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, including systemically, such as orally, or parenterally, by intravenous, intramuscular, topical, transdermal or subcutaneous routes.
- The compound can be included in the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent in an amount sufficient to deliver to a patient a therapeutically effective amount of compound to treat traumatic CNS injury in vivo without causing serious toxic effects in the patient treated.
- The steroid analogues used in the methods of the invention may further comprise an inorganic or organic, solid or liquid, pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The carrier may also contain preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, solubilizing agents, stabilizing agents, buffers, solvents and salts. Compositions may be sterilized and exist as solids, particulants or powders, solutions, suspensions or emulsions.
- The steroid analogues can be formulated according to known methods to prepare pharmaceutically useful compositions, such as by admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier vehicle. Suitable vehicles and their formulation are described, for example, in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, 21st ed, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (2005). In order to form a pharmaceutically acceptable composition suitable for effective administration, such compositions will contain an effective amount of the steroid analogue, either alone, or with a suitable amount of carrier vehicle.
- The pharmaceutically acceptable carrier of the present invention will vary depending on the method of drug administration. The pharmaceutical carrier employed may be, for example, either a solid, liquid, or time release. Representative solid carriers are lactose, terra alba, sucrose, talc, gelatin, agar, pectin, acacia, magnesium stearate, stearic acid, microcrystalin cellulose, polymer hydrogels, and the like. Typical liquid carriers include syrup, peanut oil, olive oil, cyclodextrin, and the like emulsions. Those skilled in the art are familiar with appropriate carriers for each of the commonly utilized methods of administration. Furthermore, it is recognized that the total amount of steroid analogue administered as a therapeutic effective dose will depend on both the pharmaceutical composition being administered (i.e., the carrier being used) and the mode of administration.
- In one embodiment, a steroid analogue, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or prodrug thereof, is administered via parenteral administration in a dose of about 0.1 ng to about 100 g per kg of body weight, about 10 ng to about 50 g per kg of body weight, from about 100 ng to about 1 g per kg of body weight, from about 1 μg to about 100 mg per kg of body weight, from about 1 μg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight, from about 1 mg to about 500 mg per kg of body weight; and from about 1 mg to about 50 mg per kg of body weight. Alternatively, the amount of steroid analogue administered to achieve a therapeutic effective dose is about 0.1 ng, 1 ng, 10 ng, 100 ng, 1 μg, 10 μg, 100 μg, 1 mg, 2 mg, 3 mg, 4 mg, 5 mg, 6 mg, 7 mg, 8 mg, 9 mg, 10 mg, 11 mg, 12 mg, 13 mg, 14 mg, 15 mg, 16 mg, 17 mg, 18 mg, 19 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, 50 mg, 60 mg, 70 mg, 80 mg, 90 mg, 100 mg, 500 mg per kg of body weight or greater.
- In certain embodiments, the compounds described herein are compounded with a suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in a unit dosage form. A unit dosage form, such as a preselected amount of liquid composition, can, for example, contain the compound in amounts ranging from about 5 to about 1000 mg, or from about 250 to about 750 mg. Expressed in proportions, the active compound is generally present in from about 10 to about 750 mg/ml of carrier. Liquid formulations of steroid analogs can comprise about 1-100 mg/ml of vehicle. In the case of compositions containing supplementary active ingredients, the dosages are determined by reference to the usual dose and manner of administration of the said ingredients.
- The active ingredients can exhibit activity, particularly in treatment or prevention of secondary reactions from brain injuries such as TBI or stroke when administered in amounts ranging from about 0.1 mg to about 100 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. A preferred dosage regimen for optimum results would be from about 0.5 mg to about 50 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, and such dosage units are employed that a total of from about 0.25 gram to about 3.0 grams of the active compound for a subject of about 70 kg of body weight are administered in a 24-hour period. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response and can be administered one to three times a day in dosages of about 600 mg per administration. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation.
- In one embodiment of the present invention, the neuroprotective steroid is administered once or several times a day. The duration of the treatment may be once per day for a period of about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days or more. The daily dose can be administered either by a single dose in the form of an individual dosage unit or several smaller dosage units or by multiple administration of subdivided dosages at certain intervals. For instance, a dosage unit can be administered from about 0 hours to about 1 hr, about 1 hr to about 24 hr, about 1 to about 72 hours, about 1 to about 120 hours, or about 24 hours to at least about 120 hours post injury. Alternatively, the dosage unit can be administered from about 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 30, 40, 48, 72, 96, 120 hours or longer post injury. The duration of the constant dosing regimen is about 12, 24, 36, 60, 72, 84, or 120 hours or about 1 to 24 hours, about 12 to 36 hours, about 24 to 48 hours, about 36 to 60 hours, about 48 to 72 hours, about 60 to 96 hours, about 72 to 108 hours, about 96 to 120 hours, or about 108 to 136 hours. Subsequent dosage units can be administered any time following the initial administration such that a therapeutic effect is achieved. For instance, additional dosage units can be administered to protect the subject from the secondary wave of edema that may occur over the first several days post-injury. In specific embodiments, the subject undergoing the therapy with is administered a constant neuroprotective steroid dosing regimen. By “constant dosing regimen” is intended the subject undergoing therapy is administered a constant total hourly infusion dose over the course of treatment.
- Administration of the steroid analogues of the invention may be performed by many methods known in the art. The present invention comprises all forms of dose administration including, but not limited to, systemic injection, parenteral administration, intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, transdermal, buccal, subcutaneous and intracerebroventricular administration. Alternatively, the steroid analogue may be administered directly into the brain or cerebrospinal fluid by any intracerebroventricular technique including, for example, lateral cerebro ventricular injection, lumbar puncture or a surgically inserted shunt into the cerebro ventricle of a patient. Methods of administering may be by dose or by control release vehicles.
- If administered intravenously, preferred carriers are physiological saline or phosphate buffered saline (PBS).
- While the methods of the invention are not bound by any theory, it is believed that a traumatic CNS injury, may make the blood/brain barrier more permeable allowing entry of large molecules that would not normally cross the blood/brain barrier to enter the cerebral spinal fluid. For examples of intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, and subcutaneous administration of neurotrophic agents to treat CNS injuries see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,733,871 and WO 97/21449, both of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- Additional pharmaceutical methods may be employed to control the duration of action. Controlled release preparations may be achieved by the use of polymers to complex or absorb the steroid analogue. The controlled delivery may be exercised by selecting appropriate macromolecules (for example, polyesters, polyamino acids, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, ethylene-vinylacetate, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or protamine sulfate). The rate of drug release may also be controlled by altering the concentration of such macromolecules.
- Another possible method for controlling the duration of action comprises incorporating the therapeutic agents into particles of a polymeric substance such as polyesters, polyamino acids, hydrogels, poly(lactic acid) or ethylene vinylacetate copolymers. Alternatively, it is possible to entrap the therapeutic agents in microcapsules prepared, for example, by coacervation techniques or by interfacial polymerization, for example, by the use of hydroxymethyl cellulose or gelatin-microcapsules or poly(methylmethacrylate) microcapsules, respectively, or in a colloid drug delivery system, for example, liposomes, albumin, microspheres, microemulsions, nanoparticles, nanocapsules, or in macroemulsions. Such teachings are disclosed in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (1980). Ideally the compounds should be administered to achieve peak plasma concentrations of the active compound of from about 0.2 to 70 μM, preferably about 1.0 to 10 μM. This may be achieved, for example, by the intravenous injection of an appropriate concentration of the active ingredient, optionally in saline, or administered as a bolus of the active ingredient.
- The concentration of the compounds in the drug composition will depend on absorption, inactivation and excretion rates of the extract as well as other factors known to those of skill in the art. It is to be noted that dosage values will also vary with the severity of the condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that for any particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the compositions, and that the concentration ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimed composition. The compounds may be administered at once, or may be divided into a number of smaller doses to be administered at varying intervals of time.
- Oral compositions will generally include an inert diluent or an edible carrier. They may be enclosed in gelatin capsules or compressed into tablets. For the purpose of oral therapeutic administration, the active compound can be incorporated with excipients and used in the form of tablets, troches or capsules. Pharmaceutically compatible binding agents, and/or adjuvant materials can be included as part of the composition.
- The tablets, pills, capsules, troches and the like can contain any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatin; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate or Sterotes; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring. When the dosage unit form is a capsule, it can contain, in addition to material of the above type, a liquid carrier such as a fatty oil. In addition, dosage unit forms can contain various other materials which modify the physical form of the dosage unit, for example, coatings of sugar, shellac, or other enteric agents.
- The compounds can be administered as a component of an elixir, suspension, syrup, wafer, chewing gum or the like. A syrup may contain, in addition to the active compounds, sucrose as a sweetening agent and certain preservatives, dyes and colorings and flavors. The compounds can also be mixed with other active materials that do not impair the desired action, or with materials that supplement the desired action, such as antibiotics, antifungals, anti-inflammatories, or other anti-autoimmune compounds. Solutions or suspensions used for parenteral, intradermal, subcutaneous, or topical application can include the following components: a sterile diluent such as water for injection, saline solution, fixed oils, polyethylene glycols, glycerine, propylene glycol or other synthetic solvents; antibacterial agents such as benzyl alcohol or methyl parabens; antioxidants such as ascorbic acid or sodium bisulfite; chelating agents such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid; buffers such as acetates, citrates or phosphates and agents for the adjustment of tonicity such as sodium chloride or dextrose. The parental preparation can be enclosed in ampoules, disposable syringes or multiple dose vials made of glass or plastic.
- Formulations suitable for parental administration conveniently comprise a sterile aqueous preparation of the active compound, which can be isotonic with the blood of the recipient.
- Nasal spray formulations comprise purified aqueous solutions of the active agent with preservative agents and isotonic agents. Such formulations are preferably adjusted to a pH and isotonic state compatible with the nasal mucous membranes.
- Formulations for rectal administration may be presented as a suppository with a suitable carrier such as cocoa butter, or hydrogenated fats or hydrogenated fatty carboxylic acids.
- Ophthalmic formulations are prepared by a similar method to the nasal spray, except that the pH and isotonic factors are preferably adjusted to match that of the eye.
- Topical formulations comprise the active compound dissolved or suspended in one or more media such as mineral oil, petroleum, polyhydroxy alcohols or other bases used for topical formulations. The addition of other accessory ingredients as noted above may be desirable.
- Further, the present invention provides liposomal formulations of the steroid analogues, salts, esters and prodrugs thereof. The technology for forming liposomal suspensions is well known in the art. When the steroid analogue or salt thereof is an aqueous-soluble salt, using conventional liposome technology, the same may be incorporated into lipid vesicles. In such an instance, due to the water solubility of the compound or salt, the compound or salt will be substantially entrained within the hydrophilic center or core of the liposomes. The lipid layer employed may be of any conventional composition and may either contain cholesterol or may be cholesterol-free. When the compound or salt of interest is water-insoluble, again employing conventional liposome formation technology, the salt may be substantially entrained within the hydrophobic lipid bilayer that forms the structure of the liposome. In either instance, the liposomes that are produced may be reduced in size, as through the use of standard sonication and homogenization techniques. The liposomal formulations containing the progesterone analogue or salts thereof, may be lyophilized to produce a lyophilizate which may be reconstituted with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, such as water, to regenerate a liposomal suspension.
- Pharmaceutical formulations are also provided which are suitable for administration as an aerosol, by inhalation. These formulations comprise a solution or suspension of the desired steroid analogue or a salt thereof or a plurality of solid particles of the compound or salt. The desired formulation may be placed in a small chamber and nebulized. Nebulization may be accomplished by compressed air or by ultrasonic energy to form a plurality of liquid droplets or solid particles comprising the compounds or salts.
- In another embodiment, the compounds are prepared with carriers that will protect them against rapid elimination from the body, such as a controlled release formulation, including implants and microencapsulated delivery systems. Biodegradable, biocompatible polymers can be used, such as ethylene vinyl acetate, polyanhydrides, polyglycolic acid, collagen, polyorthoesters and polylactic acid. Methods for preparation of such formulations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
- General schemes 1-8 below describe the preparation of selected steroid analogues. It is understood that the specific synthetic steps are not limited to the reactions shown in the schemes and that many alternative reaction sequences known in the art are suitable for the preparation of the analogues. Furthermore, it is understood that any naturally occurring or synthetic amino acid in the D, L or D,L configuration may be used. The invention is not limited by the type of protecting group and any suitable protecting group may be used. Protecting groups for amino groups and ketone groups are well known in the art and described by Greene et al. “Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis,” John Wiley and Sons, 4th edition, 2007.
- Compounds derivatized at the 3-position of the steroid ring system to comprise an ester of an amino acid may be prepared using the general process described in
Scheme 1 below. Starting from progesterone, the carbonyl group at the 3-position is selectively reduced to produce the allylic alcohol 2. One example of a selective reduction is the Luche Reduction which use sodium borohydride and cerium trichloride in methanol (see Luche, J.-L. J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1978, 100, 2226). Typically, the reduction is run at low temperature to avoid over-reduction of the C-20 carbonyl. Alcohol 2 is then esterified with a suitable amino acid derivative form theprogesterone analogue 3. The protecting group is removed and a suitable salt, such as an HCl salt, may be formed, if desired. - In one embodiment, the ester bond may be formed by reaction of the hydroxyl group of 2 with a protected amino acid acyl halide, where X is chloro, bromo, iodo or fluoro. In another embodiment, the ester bond may be formed by reacting the hydroxyl group with an activated carboxylic acid, where X is an activated leaving group. Many reagents are known that will activate carboxyl groups to react with nucleophiles. For example, a variety of peptide coupling reagents well known in the art are used to activate carboxyl groups in-situ to react with amino groups of amino acids to form peptide bonds. These reagents can also activate carboxylic acids to form reactive intermediates that will react with hydroxy groups on the steroid compound. Non-limiting examples of the carboxyl activating groups include carbodiimide reagents, phosphonium reagents such as benzotriazolyloxy-tris-(dimethylamino) phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP) and the like, uronium or carbonium reagents such as O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), benzotriazol-1-yl-oxy-tripyrrolidinophosphonium hexafluorophosphate (PyBOP) and the like; 1-ethoxycarbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydroqunoline (EEDQ); 1-methyl-2-chloropyridinium iodide (Muikaiyama's reagent) and the like. In other embodiments, the ester may be formed by trans-esterification of another ester group including active esters such as ap-nitrophenyl ester, a pentafluorophenylester, an N-hydroxysuccinimidyl ester, a 1-hydroxybenzotriazolyl ester and the like. An acyl azide group may also be used to form the ester bond. In another embodiment, the ester may also be formed by reaction of the hydroxy with a symmetric or mixed anhydride (X is RC(O)O—). Catalysts such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) and the like may be used to facilitate the ester formation.
- Scheme 2 below illustrates the general synthetic process for the formation of steroid analogues that comprise amino acid residues at the 20-position of the ring. In this process, progesterone is reduced to the diol using a strong reducing reagent, such as lithium aluminum hydride. The allylic hydroxyl group is then selectively oxidized to produce the
enone 4, with the C-20 hydroxyl group intact. Any suitable oxidizing agent that will selectively oxidize an allylic alcohol may be used. One non-limiting example is manganese dioxide (MnO2). The resultingalcohol 3 is then esterified to produce the desired steroid analogue 5 comprising an amino acid residue at the 20-position. As described above forScheme 1, the esterification reaction may be accomplished with a variety of reagents, including a protected amino acid halide or with a protected amino acid using a coupling reagent known in the art to activate carboxylate groups. -
Scheme 3 below illustrates the preparation of an analogue of Formula VII, substituted at C-3 with the group ═N—R3 where R3 is —OR11, and R11 is an amino acid residue. The C20 carbonyl is first protected with a suitable protecting group such as the cyclic ketal 6 to prevent reaction with the nucleophilic hydroxylamine. The remaining enone is reacted with hydroxylamine to produce a mixture of E/Z 7a and 7b. The E-oxime 7a is then esterified with a suitably protected amino acid halide or using a protected amino acid with a coupling reagent as described above forScheme 1 to produce the E-isomer of protected analogue 8a. Removal of the cyclic acetal under acidic conditions followed by removal of the amino protecting group under typically basic conditions provides the C3 analogue 9a, which is converted to the hydrochloride salt upon treatment with HCl. The corresponding Z-isomers 8b and 9b are prepared using Z-oxime 7b in the same manner. -
Scheme 4 shows the general synthesis of an analogue of Formula IV substituted at C-3 with the group R5—N═C where R5 is R—NH—, and R is an amino acid residue. Starting from protected intermediate 6, the C-3 carbonyl is reacted with hydrazine to produce thehydrazone 10. The hydrazone is then reacted with a suitable reactive amino acid derivative as described above forScheme 1 to yield the hydrazide 11. The hydrazide may be converted to a pharmaceutically acceptable salt by treatment with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, such as HCl. - Scheme 5 below shows the preparation of allopregnanolone (ALLO) analogues substituted at C-3 with an amino acid residue. Pregnenolone is first reduced with hydrogen catalyzed by palladium on carbon to produce compound 12 in the 3-beta, 5-alpha configuration. Compound 12 is then esterified as described for
Scheme 1 above with a reactive protected amino acid reagent followed by deprotection to produce compound 13 substituted at the C-3 position with an amino acid residue. The HCl salt is formed by treatment with HCl as before. - To produce compound 15, in which the amino acid substituent has the opposite stereoisomeric configuration at C-3, the stereo configuration of the hydroxyl group in compound 12 is inverted using Mitsunobu conditions (see Mitsunobu et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Japan 1967, 40, 2380-2382 and Mitsunobu et al., Synthesis 1981, 1-28 and Castro et al., Org. React. 1983, 29, 1) to form compound 14 with the 3-alpha, 5-alpha configuration. Compound 14 is esterified as described above to produce compound 15 with the 3-alpha, 5-alpha configuration, followed by treatment with HCl to form the salt.
- Scheme 6 below shows a general process for the preparation of C-3 substituted pregnanolone analogues in different stereoisomeric configurations. Starting from progesterone, reduction of the enone with hydrogen under palladium on
carbon forms compound 16. Reduction of the cyclic ketone, using a suitable reducing agent such as sodium borohydride, forms a mixture of alcohols 17a and 17b. Esterification of alcohols 17a and 17b followed by removal of the protecting group and salt formation provides pregnanolone analogues 18a and 18b. - Steroid analogues with a double bond between the C5 and C6 positions may be prepared according to the general process shown in Scheme 7 below.
- Esterification of pregnenolone with a suitably protected amino acid as described for
scheme 1 above provides compound 19, with an amino acid residue at the 3-position. Protection of the hydroxyl of pregnenolone followed by reaction with hydroxylamine provides the E- and Z-isomers 20a and 20b. If desired, the isomers may be separated at this stage. Reaction of 20a and 20b with a suitably protected amino acid, followed by deprotection and treatment with HCl provides compounds 21a and 21b. - Modification of the process shown in Scheme 7 leads to related compounds with a double bond between C5 and C6. For example, to obtain the steroid analogues corresponding to compounds 21a and 21b in which the C-3 hydroxyl is in the ketone oxidation state, compounds 20a and 20b may be deprotected to the alcohol and oxidized to form the ketone prior to reaction with the activated amino acids reagent. Reduction of compound 19 will provide the corresponding C20 alcohol, which may be esterified as described above to form an analogue substituted at both C3 and C20 positions.
- Reduction of protected pregnenolone followed by esterification of the resulting C20 hydroxyl group with a suitably protected activated amino acid will provide the C20 amino acid substituted derivative after removal of the protecting group.
- Protection of the C20 ketone, for example as a cyclic ketal, followed by oxidation of the C3 hydroxyl to the corresponding ketone and then reaction with hydroxyl amine will provide the corresponding C3 oximes, which can be reacted with suitably protected activated amino acids to prepare the ═N—NR11R12 compounds.
- Analogues with a double bond between the C1 and C2 carbons may be prepared according to the process depicted in Scheme 8 below.
- Starting from protected compound 6, treatment with a bulky base such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) or the like, to form the enolate species, followed by reaction with a suitable source of electrophilic selenium, such as diphenyldiselenide, provides compound 22. Treatment of compound 22 with a suitable oxidizing agent, such as hydrogen peroxide, provides
compound 24, which is deprotected to provide compound 25. - In one embodiment, the invention provides enantiomeric progesterone and neuroprotective steroid compounds. The enantiomer of progesterone (ent-PROG) has shown similar efficacy to progesterone and allopregnanolone across several measures relevant to neuroprotection, including the reduction of cerebral edema, reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokine expression, and reduction in proapoptotic p53 protein expression. Ent-PROG treatment was also shown to result in significantly increased glutathione reductase activity, a measure of its potential to minimize oxidative stress following TBI, relative to both progesterone and allopregnanolone. Although it binds with moderate affinity to the classical progesterone receptor (PR), ent-PROG does not activate PR-mediated gene transcription. Thus it is thought that ent-PROG is able to achieve its neuroprotective effects either through transcription-independent PR-mediated signaling or via PR-independent pathways. In light of these findings, and with the goal of providing a compound of improved efficacy relative to PROG or allopregnanolone, the development of a complementary set of ent-PROG based analogue compounds was pursued.
- Addition of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) to 2-methyl-1,3-cyclopentadione (37, Scheme 9) gave the triketone 38. The organocatalyst D-proline was then used in order to achieve asymmetric cyclization of 38 to give the Hajos-Parrish ketone (39). Sodium borohydride reduction of 39 was followed by protection of the newly formed secondary alcohol 40 as its tert-butyl ether (41). Introduction of an α-methylene group was achieved through initial carbonation of 41 with Stiles' reagent, methyl magnesium carbonate (MMC), in DMF. Selective reduction of the C-4-C-5 double bond of compound 43 was immediately followed by decarboxylation of the unstable saturated intermediate 44 to give the enone 45 with trans ring junction.
- Synthesis of the β-keto ester annulating agent 50 began with ketalization of ethyl-5-oxohexanoate and subsequent reduction of the ester 47 with LiAlH4 to give alcohol 48 (Scheme 10). Swern oxidation of 48 was followed by tin(II) chloride catalyzed coupling with ethyl diazoacetate to give the P-keto ester 50.
- Michael addition of 6-keto ester 50 to enone 45, along with in situ Robinson annulation, saponification, and finally decarboxylation, gave the BCD ring system 51. Reductive alkylation served to introduce what would become the C-19 methyl group of ent-PROG. Reflux of 52 overnight in methanolic HC1 gave ent-testosterone (53). Ent-testosterone was then prepared as the C-3 ketal 54 and the C-17 secondary alcohol was oxidized using pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) to give ketone 55. Treatment of 55 with ethyltriphenylphosphonium bromide under Wittig conditions gave the alkene 56. A final three step sequence involving hydroboration, oxidation, and acid catalyzed removal of the ketal was carried out without intermediate purification steps to give ent-PROG (57) in good yield.
- Luche reduction of ent-PROG gave the C-3 a-hydroxy compound 58 (Scheme 12). The same series of reactions involving amino acid coupling, Fmoc cleavage, and HCl salt formation that had been developed for the C-3 nut-PROG series of compounds was applied here to give the ent-PROG derivative P2-13. Additional neuroprotective analogues derived from ent-PROG are prepared according to the description provided above and in the following examples.
- The present invention will be understood more readily by reference to the following examples, which are provided by way of illustration and are not intended to be limiting of the invention.
- A well established whole animal model of TBI was employed in order to investigate the potential efficacy of the PROG analogue compounds relative to PROG in reducing cerebral edema following injury. Anesthetized male rats were first subjected to cortical contusion and were then given two 8 mg/kg doses of the test compound, the first at 1 h post-surgery and the second at 6 h. The animals were then sacrificed and tissue samples were taken from both injured and non-injured sections of the brain. Wet and dry weights were collected for each sample and cerebral edema (% water content) was determined as the difference in wet and dry weights divided by the wet weight. A “% mean difference” value could then be calculated based on the relative edema difference between injured and non-injured tissue samples for a given animal. The “sham” animals did not receive an injury but served as a control group for possible anesthesia and stress factors. The “vehicle” group were subjected to cortical injury but received only the drug carrier (22.5% 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrine in water). All experimental treatments given by injection were made in stock solutions using 2-Hydroxypropyl-b-cyclodextrin (HBC; 45% w/v solution in H2O) as the solvent. These experimental solutions were then diluted 1:1 with sterile water for a final concentration of HBC of 22.5%. Several of the analogues showed equivalent efficacy to progesterone in the cerebral edema assay, including the valine tethered C-3-β-hydroxy PROG derivative P1-31 and the oxime based prodrug compound P1-185. Compound P1-131, the valine coupled derivative of ALLO itself, showed the greatest edema reduction among the ALLO isomer group. Perhaps most notably though was the activity of oxime prodrug P1-186, which showed an average reduction in edema levels almost twice that of PROG.

FIG. 1 shows the % difference edema results forbrain tissue 24 hours post brain injury. The mean % difference calculated for sham, vehicle, progesterone,Compound 31, Compound 57 and Compound 79 subjects were 0.6%, 1.2%, 2.0%, 2.2%, 3.3% and 1.9%, respectively. Samples treated with progesterone, and Compounds 31, 57 and 79 all showed a decrease in edema compared to subjects treated with vehicle. - All reagents were obtained from Aldrich. Reactions requiring anhydrous conditions were performed in oven-dried glassware under dry argon. All solvents used were anhydrous or kept dry over activated 4 Å molecular sieves. Convection was achieved by use of a magnetic stirring bar unless otherwise noted. The following abbreviations may be used: dichloromethane (DCM), diethyl ether (ether), water (DI), hexane (hex), ethyl acetate (ea), dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile (ACN), tetrahydrofuran (THF), round bottomed flask (RBF), hours (h), minutes (min), millimole (mmol), equivalents (eq). Reaction progress was monitored via thin-layer chromatography (TLC) on pre-coated glass-backed plates (silica gel 60 Å F254, 0.25 mm thickness) purchased from EM Science. Flash chromatography was carried out with silica gel 60 Å (230-400 mesh) from Sorbent Technologies. Automated chromatography was performed on an Isco Combiflash Companion. Unless otherwise stated, organic extracts were dried over commercially available magnesium sulfate and the solvents were removed by rotary evaporation. Brine refers to a saturated sodium chloride solution. 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on either a 400 MHz Inova spectrometer or 600 MHz Inova spectrometer in deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) and referenced to the residual solvent peak (1H δ 7.27 ppm, 13C δ 77.23 ppm). Chemical shifts are reported in parts per million (δ), and coupling constants are reported in hertz (Hz). The following abbreviations will be used: singlet (s), doublet (d), triplet (t), quartet (q), multiplet (m). Mass spectra were obtained on either a VG 70-S Nier Johnson or JEOL Mass Spectrometer. Elemental analyses were performed by Atlantic Microlab (Norcross, Ga.).

- Several compounds were screened for solubility (
FIG. 2 ). Solubility testing was done in phosphate buffered saline, which is considered to be a good model system for physiological conditions. Compounds were added in small portions at room temperature with stirring until a visible endpoint of saturation was reached. Neither PROG nor ALLO showed any degree of solubility by this method (designated at <0-05 mg/mL solubility). The valine coupled C-3-β-hydroxy PROG derivative P1-31 showed the best solubility (3.85 mg/mL) of the different amino acid substituted analogues within that series. Compound P1-133, the 3α-5β ALLO isomer, showed the highest solubility within that group, (0.33 mg/mL). Both the E and Z oxime derivatives P1-185 and P1-186 showed excellent solubility, with values of 13.0 and 15.2 mg/mL respectively. - Primary cortical cells were seeded in multi-well plates and cultured for 8 days. Cells were then pre-treated with various concentrations of different PROG analogues (0.1, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 μM) for 24 h. Cells were next exposed to glutamate (0.5 μM) for the following 24 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed by the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] assay, which is based on the ability of a mitochondrial dehydrogenase enzyme from viable cells to cleave the tetrazolium rings of the pale yellow MTT. This reaction forms dark blue formazan crystals which are largely impermeable to cell membranes, thus resulting in their accumulation within healthy cells. Solubilization of the cells results in the liberation of the crystals, which are then also solubilized. The number of surviving cells is directly proportional to the level of the formazan product created.
- Table 2 below shows the effect of several compounds of the invention compared with PROG and ALLO in the reduction in cortical neuron cell death caused by glutamate toxicity. Several of the derivatives proved to be significantly more potent than PROG or ALLO when the compounds are compared at the 5 μM concentration. The P1-185 and P1-186 oxime prodrug compounds achieved the highest levels of cell survival among the compounds screened. The C-20 reduced PROG derivative P1-57 and the ent-PROG derivative P2-13 also showed significant reductions in cell death.

The C-3-β-hydroxy PROG derivatives P1-31 and P1-33 were chosen in order to observe any potential differences in the stability of the compounds that may be attributable to the amino acid component. The natural ALLO derivative P1-131 was selected based on its activity in the cerebral edema assay and as an example of a compound containing a saturated A ring. Finally, the oxime derived compound P1-186 was also submitted in order to evaluate its potential to act as a prodrug in vivo as envisioned.
- The compounds were intravenously (IV) dosed at 10 mg/kg and serum samples were taken at several time points over the course of 12 h. Serum concentration levels were determined for the analogues, as well as for their respective parent compound. The derivatives P1-31 and P1-33 behaved very similarly in vivo (
FIG. 7 ). The amino acid side chain in both compounds was cleaved almost immediately to give rapid conversion to their mutual parent, the C-3-β-hydroxy compound 3. However, in the case of the ALLO derivative P1-131, the valine tethered compound was stable for a prolonged period of time and only gradually converted to its parent, ALLO (2,FIG. 4 ). The data indicates a distinct difference in the susceptibility of the amino acid side chain to hydrolysis resulting from relatively small differences in saturation and conformation. The more sterically congested A-ring of P1-131 could be thought to provide some protection to active esterases relative to the unsaturated A-ring of P1-31 type compounds, or perhaps also important is the relative α-(P1-131) or β-(P1-31) face orientation of the side chain. - The oxime based compound P1-186 did indeed generate PROG in vivo when dosed either IV or intraperitoneally (IP) at 10 mg/kg (
FIG. 5 ). The PROG levels observed via both modes of administration reached a maximum of approximately 100 ng/mL, which compares favorably to a previously reported maximum serum concentration of 28 ng/mL when PROG was administered IP at 4 mg/kg to male rats (Wright et al., J. Neurotrama, 2001, 18, 901-094). Despite the observance of PROG however, the amino acid tether of compound P1-186 is readily cleaved to give primarily the parent oxime P2-02 (FIG. 8 ), which is stable in vivo for several hours. The potential implication of this data is that it is the intermediate oxime compound (P2-02) that may be responsible for achieving the neuroprotective effects observed in both the in vitro and cerebral edema assays, not progesterone, as might have been suspected. - The above embodiments are provided merely as non-limiting examples to which the invention should not be limited.
