- Topical Resveratrol Inhibits Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Hyperalgesic Priming Induced by Plantar Incision:
- resveratrol a potent AMPK activator
- resveratrol injection efficaciously blocked incision-induced allodynia for clinical translability there is a need of better route of administration which is convenient and causes minimal discomfort.
- the present inventors made a novel cream preparation with resveratrol which can be applied topically. Lyophilized resveratrol was serially dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and solid PEG ointment to achieve a final concentration of 2 mg/ml.
- PEG 400 polyethylene glycol 400
- a mouse model was utilized for incisional pain to assess if topical application of resveratrol can prevent development of allodynia following the plantar incision (Brennan et al., 1996; Pogatzki and Raja, 2003).
- Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw.
- Resveratrol (100 ⁇ g) or vehicle was applied on the paw on and around the incision either immediately following incision or immediately following incision and 24 hrs following incision. Mice were maintained under anesthesia with isoflurane for 1 hr until the drug was absorbed. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed mechanical hypersensitivity lasting for at least 9 days.
- resveratrol not only blocks acute allodynia induced by plantar incision but it also blocks its transition to persistent nociceptive state.
- metformin Another therapeutic opportunity for activating AMPK is the prototypical AMPK activator, metformin.
- Metformin is already clinically available, safe, inexpensive and well-tolerated drug. Moreover, metformin has a different mechanism of action in activating AMPK than resveratrol and hence can have differential efficacy in modulation of downstream targets. Metformin is known to activate AMPK through multiple indirect mechanisms including LKB1 stimulation (Shaw et al., 2005) and inhibition of AMP deaminase (Ouyang et al., 2011). In addition, in contrast to resveratrol which lacks bioavailability, metformin has a good bioavailability and thus can be given orally which is a preferred route of administration in humans.

- the effects of metformin have been attributed to AMPK-independent mechanisms as well (Foretz et al., 2010).
- OSU53 a novel AMPK activator with a distinct mechanism of action
- OSU53 stimulates AMPK kinase activity through direct activation with high potency (EC 50 , 0.3 ⁇ M) independent of its upstream kinase LKB1 (Lee et al., 2011), a mechanism distinct from that of metformin (Fryer et al., 2002; Lee et al., 2011; Shaw et al., 2005).
- OSU53 is a potent, orally bioavailable AMPK activator making it a potential drug for treatment of post-surgical pain.

- OSU53 (10 or 30 ⁇ g) or vehicle was injected locally into the left hind-paw around the incision either immediately following incision.
- Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE 2 lasting at least 24 hrs.
- A-769662 Another direct activator of AMPK kinase is an investigational compound, A-769662.
- A-769662 activates AMPK both allosterically and inhibiting dephosphorylation of AMPK on Thr-172 (Sanders et al., 2007) and this activation is independent of upstream kinases (Goransson et al., 2007).
- the present inventors investigated if A-769662 prevented the development of acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming following plantar incision. Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw. A-769662 (30 mg/kg) or vehicle was injected intra-peritonially for 4 days starting 2 days prior to the surgery.
- mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE 2 lasting at least 24 hrs ( FIGS. 6A and 6B ).

Abstract
Description
- This application is a continuation and claims benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/956,042 filed Dec. 1, 2015, which is a continuation-in-part and claims benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/318,245 filed Jun. 27, 2014, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,233,085, which claims priority to and is a non-provisional of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/840,886, filed Jun. 28, 2013, the specification(s) of which is/are incorporated herein in their entirety by reference.
- This invention was made with government support under Grant No. R01 GM102575 awarded by NIH. The government has certain rights in the invention.
- The present invention relates to methods and compositions for treating pain, more particularly to methods and compositions featuring two (or more) different 5′ adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activators for treating pain, for example post-surgical pain (e.g., pain at an incision site, etc.).
- Chronic pain following surgical incisions is a major clinical problem. As used herein, the term “chronic pain” refers to pain lasting at least three (3) months and typically at least six (6) months, e.g., after surgery, injury or a disease. Currently available therapeutics given for acute post-surgical pain (e.g., opiates and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, i.e., NSAIDs) do not always prevent the transition to chronic post-surgical pain. Furthermore, opiates and NSAIDs can be habit forming and/or patients develop tolerance to these drugs, thereby requiring increased dosage. Moreover, because these drugs are typically administered orally, many patients suffer adverse gastrointestinal discomfort.
- The present invention features AMPK activation as a mechanism for the alleviation of post-surgical, and possibly other persistent pain states and utilization of novel therapeutics that employ this mechanism of action of use in humans. Dysregulated protein translation regulation pathways that underlie persistent pain states can be negatively regulated by activation of endogenous signaling factor AMPK.
- As such, the present invention features methods and compositions that use AMPK activators for treating pain, e.g., acute post-surgical pain, transition to chronic pain, etc. (pain may be measured using various parameters including but not limited to acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming, etc.). The methods and compositions of the present invention may feature a first AMPK activator and a second AMPK activator, wherein the two AMPK activators work synergistically and the AMPK activators are administered in individually sub-efficacious doses. In some embodiments, AMPK activators that have different mechanisms of AMPK activation, such as metformin and resveratrol, are used to accomplish this.
- The present invention features methods for treating, reducing, or preventing the development of pain (e.g., post-surgical pain, e.g., incision-induced hypersensitivity, incision-induced hyperalgesic priming, incision-induced development of chronic pain, etc.). In some embodiments, the method comprises administering to a subject a dosage of a first 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator and a dosage of a second AMPK activator, wherein the second AMPK activator has a mechanism of AMPK activation that is different from that of the first AMPK activator. The dosage of the first AMPK activator may be an individually sub-efficacious dose, and the dosage of the second AMPK activator may be an individually sub-efficacious dose, wherein the first AMPK activator and the second AMPK activator synergistically reduce, treat, or prevent the development of said pain, e.g., post-surgical pain, e.g., incision-induced hypersensitivity, incision-induced hyperalgesic priming, incision-induced development of chronic pain, etc.
- The present invention also features compositions for treating, reducing, or preventing the development of pain (e.g., post-surgical pain, e.g., incision-induced hypersensitivity, incision-induced hyperalgesic priming, incision-induced development of chronic pain, etc.). In some embodiments, the composition comprises a dosage of a first 5′-adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activator and a dosage of a second AMPK activator, wherein the second AMPK activator has a mechanism of AMPK activation that is different from that of the first AMPK activator. The dosage of the first AMPK activator may be an individually sub-efficacious dose, and the dosage of the second AMPK activator may be an individually sub-efficacious dose, wherein the first AMPK activator and the second AMPK activator function synergistically reduce, treat, or prevent the development of said pain, e.g., post-surgical pain, e.g., incision-induced hypersensitivity, incision-induced hyperalgesic priming, incision-induced development of chronic pain, etc.

The present inventors have previously demonstrated that dysregulated protein translation regulation pathways, in particular ERK/elF4E and mTOR signaling pathways underlie persistent pain states and that AMPK activators can profoundly inhibit ERK and mTOR signaling in sensory neurons. Furthermore, the present inventors have discovered that local injection of resveratrol, a potent AMPK activator, into the hindpaw following plantar incision dose-relatedly reverses incision-mediated mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming induced by incision.
- Surprisingly and unexpectedly, the present inventors have further discovered that a topical application of an AMPK activator, such as resveratrol, resulted in a bona-fide mechanism for the alleviation of post-surgical, and other persistent or chronic pain states.
- Thus, some aspects of the present invention provide a topical composition comprising an AMPK activator or a combination if AMPK activators and using said AMPK activators to treat pain, e.g., pain associated with post-surgery as well as other acute and neuropathy pain, including pain due to injury or disease. In addition, compositions and methods of the invention may be used to prevent any acute injury from developing into a chronic pain.
- In some embodiments, the composition comprises one AMPK activator. In some embodiments, the composition comprises two AMPK activators. In some embodiments, the composition comprises three AMPK activators. In some embodiments, the composition comprises four AMPK activators.

- The AMPK activators in the composition may have different mechanisms of AMPK activation. In some embodiments, some of the AMPK activators in the composition may have similar mechanisms of AMPK activation. In some embodiments, some of the AMPK activators in the composition may have different mechanisms of AMPK action.
- AMPK activators may include but are not limited to: biguanides (e.g., metformin, phenformin, buformin, proguanil, etc.); thiazolidinediones (TZDs) (e.g., pioglitazone, rosiglitazone, etc.), salicylates, hormones (e.g., adiponectin, leptin, IL-6, CNTF, etc.), natural compounds (e.g., resveratrol, polyphenols, berberine, galegine, quercetin, ginsenoside, curcumin, epigallocatechin gallate, theaflavin, hispidulin, rooibos, alpha-lipoic acid, etc.) and other molecules (e.g., PT1, C24, OSU53, A769662, AICAR, etc.).

In some embodiments, the AMPK activator comprises said drugs/derivatives related to metformin, their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said drugs/derivatives, etc. For example, in some embodiments, the AMPK activator comprises a prodrug wherein sulfur-containing promoieties are attached to metformin to form novel bioreversible sulfenyl guanidine (N—S) prodrugs of metformin. In some embodiments, said bioreversible sulfenyl guanidine (N—S) prodrugs of metformin have improved oral absorption as compared to metformin.
- The present invention is not limited to the aforementioned AMPK activators (AMPK activators are well known to one skilled in the art, see, for example, Merck Index, 15th Ed., Edited by Maryadele J O'Neil, Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013, and Physicians' Desk Reference 67th Ed., 2013, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety).

- In some embodiments, the sub-efficacious dose of the AMPK activator is less than a relative threshold dose, wherein a relative threshold dose is a minimum dose of a drug that is needed to produce a response that is equivalent to the threshold dose of metformin or resveratrol. For example, if a threshold dose of a compound is not known, a relative threshold dose may be determined by finding a dose that produces the same effect as the threshold dose of metformin or the threshold dose of resveratrol; that dose may be considered a relative threshold dose and used accordingly.

- In one particular embodiment, a topical composition comprising resveratrol is prepared as a cream. Briefly, lyophilized resveratrol was serially dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and solid PEG ointment to achieve a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. Using the plantar incision model in mice, the present inventors demonstrated that topical application of resveratrol attenuated incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity as well as the development of hyperalgesic priming precipitated by hind paw injection of PGE2 following resolution of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. Metformin, which is clinically available and widely prescribed, stimulated upstream LKB1 activity to activate AMPK whereas OSU-53 and A-769662 are positive allosteric modulators that directly activate AMPK.
- Using the Brennan incision model in mice, the present inventors have demonstrated that systemic metformin or local OSU-53 injection dose-dependently and efficaciously attenuated incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity as well as the development of hyperalgesic priming precipitated by hind paw injection of PGE2 following resolution of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity. Interestingly, systemic A-769662 was not effective in blocking incision-induced acute mechanical hypersensitivity; however it significantly blocked hyperalgesic priming. This effect was paralleled by lower doses of metformin, which had no acute effect yet blocked hyperalgesic priming. Finally, co-treatment with systemic metformin and local resveratrol at individually sub-efficacious doses at the time of incision blocked acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming suggesting potential synergistic or super-additive effects of combined AMPK activator use. None of these treatment approaches adversely affected wound healing. These results provide further evidence for activation of AMPK as a novel treatment avenue for acute and chronic pain states induced by surgery.
- Post-surgical pain has been identified as a potential major cause for chronic pain. Between 10 and 50% of patients who undergo surgery develop chronic pain following surgical procedures such as groin hemia repair, breast and thoracic surgery, leg amputation, or coronary artery bypass surgery (Kehlet et al., 2006) and up to a quarter of all chronic pain patients suffer from persistent pain because of a prior surgery (Crombie et al., 1998). This chronic pain can be debilitating in 2-10% of this population (Johansen et al., 2012; Kehlet et al., 2006). Despite the fact that analgesics for the treatment of acute post-surgical pain are widely available, surgery remains a major cause of persistent pain suggesting that treatments that directly target the molecular pathology of post-surgical pain, particularly those that prevent the transition to chronic post-surgical pain, are needed. Recent advances in understanding of the mechanisms of post-surgical pain have led to the elucidation of signaling pathways and mediators that play an important role in driving post-surgical pain. However, treatment approaches that target these pathways or mediators are not currently clinically utilized.
- The present inventors have previously demonstrated that dysregulated protein translation regulation pathways, in particular ERK and mTOR signaling pathways, underlie persistent pain states such as neuropathic pain. There is an upregulation of the mTOR and ERK signaling pathways in neuropathic pain models in rodents and ectopic activity of the peripheral nerves (Geranton et al., 2009; Huang et al., 2008; Jimenez-Diaz et al., 2008). In model of post-surgical pain, there is an increase in IL-6 and NGF levels in the serum and skin around the incision (Banik et al., 2005; Bryan et al., 2005; Matsuda et al., 1998; Sato and Ohshima, 2000). IL-6 and NGF, in turn, signal through ERK and mTOR pathways inducing nociceptive sensitization (Melemedjian et al., 2010). The present inventors have recently demonstrated that both these pathways can be negatively regulated by an endogenous signaling factor, adenosine monophosphate protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is a ubiquitous energy-sensing kinase which can be activated physiologically by increase in intracellular AMP/ATP ratio which occurs during energy deprivation or cell starvation. AMPK can be activated pharmacologically as well by a number of clinically available drugs, e.g., metformin or natural products such as resveratrol. AMPK can also be activated by a number of investigational compounds e.g. AICAR, A769662 or OSU53. The present inventors have demonstrated that the AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) activators, metformin and A769662, inhibited translation regulation signaling pathways and nascent protein synthesis in injured nerves neurons resulting in a resolution of neuropathic allodynia induced by peripheral nerve injury. In addition, the present inventors also demonstrated that resveratrol, a potent and efficacious activator of AMPK, profoundly inhibits ERK and mTOR signaling in sensory neurons in a time- and concentration-dependent fashion and local injection of resveratrol around the surgery site attenuates the surgery induced acute mechanical hypersensitivity and persistent hyperalgesic priming in a model of post-surgical pain.
- The present inventors have discovered that AMPK activation is a bona-fide mechanism for the alleviation of post-surgical, and other persistent pain states. Some aspects of the invention are based on this discovery to provide novel therapeutics and therapeutic strategies that employ this mechanism of action for use in mammals such as humans. As discussed in the Examples section, the present inventors have utilized multiple AMPK activators, including resveratrol, metformin, OSU-53 and A-769662, which possess different mechanisms of AMPK activation to demonstrate a shared endpoint—inhibition of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming.
- The advantages of the topical route of drug administration include: avoidance of the risks and inconvenience of parenteral treatment; avoidance of the variable absorption and metabolism associated with oral treatment; continuity of drug administration, permitting use of pharmacologically active agents with short biological half-lives; potential reduction of gastrointestinal irritation in systemic administration; and treatment of cutaneous manifestations of diseases usually treated systemically.
- In some embodiments, an AMPK activator is formulated for topical administration to the epidermis as a solution, gel, ointment, cream, suspension, lotions, a transdermal patch etc. as are well-known in the art. Ointments and creams can, for example, be formulated with an aqueous or oily base with the addition of suitable thickening and/or gelling agents. Lotions can be formulated with an aqueous or oily base and will in general also contain one or more emulsifying agents, stabilizing agents, dispersing agents, suspending agents, thickening agents, or coloring agents. Formulations suitable for topical administration in the mouth include lozenges comprising active agents in a flavored base, usually sucrose and acacia or tragacanth; pastilles comprising the active ingredient in an inert base such as gelatine and glycerine or sucrose and acacia; and mouthwashes comprising the active ingredient in a suitable liquid carrier.
- In some embodiments, the topical formulation is a liquid, for example, a homogeneous liquid or a suspension, sold in a bottle which dispenses the formulation as drops or a liquid film (for example, from an applicator tip that contacts a target area of the skin to dispense the liquid substantially only on a target area of the skin to be treated). In one embodiment, the formulation is a cream or ointment, sold in a tube which dispenses the formulation to a target area of the skin. In another embodiment, the AMPK activator is provided in a viscous liquid (such as carboxylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl-methycellulose, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, polyvinyl alcohol, or oil containing drops) for rubbing into the skin. The formulations may have preservatives or be preservative-free (for example in a single-use container).

- Additional objects, advantages, and novel features of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following examples thereof, which are not intended to be limiting. In the Examples, procedures that are constructively reduced to practice are described in the present tense, and procedures that have been carried out in the laboratory are set forth in the past tense.
- Materials and Methods
- Experimental Animals:
- Male ICR mice (Harlan, 20-25 g) were used for the study. All animal procedures were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of The University of Arizona and were in accordance with International Association for the Study of Pain guidelines.
- Behavior Testing:
- For the testing, animals were placed in acrylic boxes with wire mesh floors and allowed to habituate for approximately 1 h on all testing days. Paw withdrawal thresholds were measured using calibrated von Frey filaments (Stoelting, Wood Dale, Ill.) by stimulating the plantar aspect of left hind paw using the up-down method (Chaplan et al., 1994).
- Plantar Incision and Behavioral Testing:
- Prior to surgery all animals were assessed for paw withdrawal thresholds. A mouse model of incisional pain was used for this study (Banik et al., 2006). A 5 mm longitudinal incision was made with a number 11 blade through skin, fascia and muscle of the plantar aspect of the hind paw in isoflurane-anesthetized rats. Sham controls underwent the same procedure but without the incision. The skin was apposed with 2 sutures of 5 mm silk. Animals received intraplantar injection of resveratrol or vehicle around the incision at times indicated after incision. Animals were allowed to recover for 24 hrs and then paw withdrawal thresholds were measured at 24 hrs, 48 hrs, 5, 9, and 13 days post-surgery. For persistent sensitization experiments, the animals received an intraplantar injection of PGE2 (100 ng/25 μl) 14 days following incision or sham procedures. The paw withdrawal thresholds were again measured at 1 h, 3 h and 24 h following the PGE2 injection.
- Immunohistochemistry.
- To determine re-epithelialization, plantar skin was excised from the left hind paw of mice either 3 days or 7 days following plantar incision surgery. The skin was immediately cryoprotected and frozen in O.C.T compound and sectioned (20 μm) on cryostat. The sections were then fixed in formalin and immersed in 0.1% hematoxylin for 3 minutes, washed in tap water, then immersed in 0.1% eosin for 3 minutes, and dehydrated through graded ethanol (Protocol from University of Michigan Center for Organogenesis). Finally sections were coverslipped with Permount (Fisher, Pittsburgh, Pa.). The sections were imaged and the width between 2 epithelial edges was measured using Olympus BX51 microscope.
- Drugs and Primary Antibodies:
- Resveratrol was from Cayman Chemical; metformin from LKT laboratories. For the cream preparation with resveratrol, lyophilized resveratrol was serially dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and solid PEG ointment to achieve a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. Hematoxylin Gill 2X, O.C.T. compound, Permount mounting medium and xylene were purchased from Fischer Scientific.
Compound OSU 53 was synthesized by semi-manual solid-phase peptide synthesis (Boitano et al., 2011; Flynn et al., 2011; Josan et al., 2008; Lee et al., 2011; Vagner et al., 2008) performed in fritted syringes using a Domino manual synthesizer obtained from Torviq (Niles, Mich.). Crude peptides were purified by HPLC and size exclusion chromatography. Purity of the peptides was ensured using analytical HPLC (Waters Alliance 2695 separation model with a dual wavelength detector, Waters 2487) with a reverse-phase column (Waters Symmetry, 4.6×75 mm, 3.5 μm; flow rate, 0.3 ml/min). Structures were characterized by electrospray ionization on a Thermoelectron (Finnigan) LCQ ion trap instrument (low resolution), a Bruker Ultraflex III MALDI-TOF/TOF (low resolution), or a Bruker 9.4 T Fourier transform ion-cyclotron resonance (high resolution accurate mass) mass spectrometer. - Statistical Analysis and Data Presentation:
- Data are shown as means and the standard error of the mean (±SEM) of 6 animals (for behavioral studies). Graph plotting and statistical analysis used Graphpad Prism Version 5.03 (Graph Pad Software, Inc. San Diego, Calif., USA). Statistical evaluation was performed by one- or two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by appropriate post-hoc tests. The a priori level of significance at 95% confidence level was considered at p<0.05.
- Topical Resveratrol Inhibits Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Hyperalgesic Priming Induced by Plantar Incision:
- The present inventors have previously demonstrated that local injection of resveratrol, a potent AMPK activator, into the hind paw following plantar incision dose-relatedly reverses incision-mediated mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming induced by incision. Though resveratrol injection efficaciously blocked incision-induced allodynia, for clinical translability there is a need of better route of administration which is convenient and causes minimal discomfort. To address this issue, the present inventors made a novel cream preparation with resveratrol which can be applied topically. Lyophilized resveratrol was serially dissolved in polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400) and solid PEG ointment to achieve a final concentration of 2 mg/ml. A mouse model was utilized for incisional pain to assess if topical application of resveratrol can prevent development of allodynia following the plantar incision (Brennan et al., 1996; Pogatzki and Raja, 2003). Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw. Resveratrol (100 μg) or vehicle was applied on the paw on and around the incision either immediately following incision or immediately following incision and 24 hrs following incision. Mice were maintained under anesthesia with isoflurane for 1 hr until the drug was absorbed. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed mechanical hypersensitivity lasting for at least 9 days. In contrast, animals that received topical resveratrol at the time of incision displayed blunted hypersensitivity though not significant (
FIG. 1A ). However, applying resveratrol topically twice i.e. at the time of incision and 24 hrs following incision, significantly attenuated mechanical hypersensitivity induced by incision (FIG. 1C ). In this model, hyperalgesic priming can be revealed by a second intraplantar injection of inflammatory mediator PGE2 (100 ng) in the hind-paw, after the resolution of initial allodynia (Asiedu et al., 2011) following plantar incision. Topical application of resveratrol at the time of incision or at the time of incision and 1 day later both prevented the development of hyperalgesic priming precipitated by hind paw injection of PGE2 following resolution of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity (FIGS. 1B and 1D ). Thus, resveratrol not only blocks acute allodynia induced by plantar incision but it also blocks its transition to persistent nociceptive state. These results suggest that even local application of resveratrol can be a potentially efficacious treatment for post-surgical pain. - Metformin Inhibits Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Hyperalgesic Priming Induced by Plantar Incision:
- Another therapeutic opportunity for activating AMPK is the prototypical AMPK activator, metformin. Metformin is already clinically available, safe, inexpensive and well-tolerated drug. Moreover, metformin has a different mechanism of action in activating AMPK than resveratrol and hence can have differential efficacy in modulation of downstream targets. Metformin is known to activate AMPK through multiple indirect mechanisms including LKB1 stimulation (Shaw et al., 2005) and inhibition of AMP deaminase (Ouyang et al., 2011). In addition, in contrast to resveratrol which lacks bioavailability, metformin has a good bioavailability and thus can be given orally which is a preferred route of administration in humans. Hence, the present inventors investigated if systemic application of metformin can prevent development of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity and further hyperalgesic priming following the plantar incision. Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw. Metformin (30, 100, 150 or 200 μg) or vehicle was injected intra-peritonially for 4 days starting 2 days prior to the surgery. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity (9 days) as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE2 lasting at least 24 hrs. In contrast, intra-peritonial injection of maximal dose (200 mg/kg) of metformin prevented both plantar-incision induced mechanical hypersensitivity (
FIGS. 2A and 2B ) and the expression of hyperalgesic priming following PGE2 injection on day 14 (FIGS. 3A and 3B ). Interestingly, the lower doses were not effective in blocking incision-induced acute mechanical hypersensitivity; however they significantly blocked hyperalgesic priming. - OSU53 Inhibits Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Hyperalgesic Priming in a Model of Post-Surgical Pain in a Dose-Related Manner:
- Although metformin is a clinically available and safe drug, the exact mechanism of action of metformin in activating AMPK is still unknown. Moreover, the effects of metformin have been attributed to AMPK-independent mechanisms as well (Foretz et al., 2010). Recently, a novel AMPK activator with a distinct mechanism of action, OSU53, was synthesized by scientists at Ohio State University (Lee et al., 2011). OSU53 stimulates AMPK kinase activity through direct activation with high potency (EC50, 0.3 μM) independent of its upstream kinase LKB1 (Lee et al., 2011), a mechanism distinct from that of metformin (Fryer et al., 2002; Lee et al., 2011; Shaw et al., 2005). Moreover, OSU53 is a potent, orally bioavailable AMPK activator making it a potential drug for treatment of post-surgical pain. The present inventors assessed if OSU53 prevented the development of acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming following plantar incision. Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw. OSU53 (10 or 30 μg) or vehicle was injected locally into the left hind-paw around the incision either immediately following incision. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE2 lasting at least 24 hrs. In contrast, intra-plantar injection of OSU53 dose-relatedly blocked both plantar-incision induced initial mechanical hypersensitivity (
FIGS. 4A and 4B ) and the expression of hyperalgesic priming after PGE2 injection on day 14 (FIGS. 5A and 5B ). - A769662 Doesn't Inhibit Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and but Inhibits Hyperalgesic Priming in a Model of Post-Surgical Pain:
- Another direct activator of AMPK kinase is an investigational compound, A-769662. A-769662 activates AMPK both allosterically and inhibiting dephosphorylation of AMPK on Thr-172 (Sanders et al., 2007) and this activation is independent of upstream kinases (Goransson et al., 2007). The present inventors investigated if A-769662 prevented the development of acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming following plantar incision. Animals received a plantar incision on the left hindpaw. A-769662 (30 mg/kg) or vehicle was injected intra-peritonially for 4 days starting 2 days prior to the surgery. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE2 lasting at least 24 hrs (
FIGS. 6A and 6B ). Interestingly, systemic A-769662 was not effective in blocking incision-induced acute mechanical hypersensitivity (FIG. 6A ); however it significantly blocked hyperalgesic priming following PGE2 injection (FIG. 6B ). - Co-Treatment with Systemic Metformin and Local Resveratrol Inhibits Acute Mechanical Hypersensitivity and Hyperalgesic Priming in a Model of Post-Surgical Pain:
- Although, all the AMPK activators individually entirely attenuate the development of the incision-induced hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming at the respective maximal doses, an effective treatment strategy would be to utilize sub-efficacious doses of AMPK activators and investigate if the co-treatment is equally efficacious in attenuating acute hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming following plantar incision. This strategy minimizes the unwanted side-effects of the drugs which occur while utilizing the maximal doses. Hence, the present inventors investigated if co-treatment of sub-efficacious dose of metformin and resveratrol can have added effect in attenuation of incision-induced mechanical hypersensitivity and hyperalgesic priming compared to their individual effects. Animals received a plantar incision on the left hind-paw and received treatment of vehicle, resveratrol or metformin alone or a co-treatment of metformin and resveratrol. Metformin (150 μg) was injected intra-peritonially for 4 days starting 2 days prior to the surgery and resveratrol (3 μg) was injected in the left hind-paw around the incision on the day of the surgery and 24 hrs post-surgery. Mice with plantar incision that received vehicle displayed long-lasting acute mechanical hypersensitivity as well as hyperalgesic priming following PGE2. Mice which received metformin or resveratrol alone displayed blunted acute hypersensitivity compared to vehicle treated mice but the effect was not significant (
FIG. 7A ). In contrast, co-treatment with systemic metformin and local resveratrol at individually sub-efficacious doses at the time of incision significantly attenuated acute hypersensitivity (FIGS. 7A and 7B ) and hyperalgesic priming (FIGS. 8A and 8B ) suggesting potential super-additive effects of combined AMPK activator use. - AMPK Activators Don't Affect Wound Healing Negatively in a Model of Post-Surgical Pain:
- An important potential consideration in these experiments is that AMPK activators would be expected to reduce protein translation and therefore may negatively influence wound healing. This effect would have a negative impact on their clinical utility. To test if AMPK activators affect the wound healing, we utilized either vehicle or maximal doses of the AMPK activators (resveratrol or metformin or OSU53) described in the previous experiments and assessed wound healing with Hematoxylin & Eosin (H & E) staining (Lai et al., 2009). Skin samples were excised 3 and 7 days after plantar incision to assess healing and wound closure, respectively. For the animals treated with resveratrol, no differences were noted in the wound size between the resveratrol and vehicle treated groups on Day 3 (
FIG. 9A ). ByDay 7, the wound was completely closed in the animals in both groups receiving vehicle or resveratrol (FIG. 9A ). Similar results were obtained with intra-peritonial metformin or intra-plantar OSU53 treatment (FIGS. 9B and 9C ). Thus, a lack of effect on with AMPK activators would suggest that these compounds would be unlikely to interfere with the wound healing process. - Case Study
- (1) Patient A, a 28 year old female, presents for a scheduled cesarean section. Vial signs and labs appear normal. Obstetrician makes a low transverse incision, and delivery proceeds normally. Approximately 18 hours after surgery, Patient A is administered a sub-efficacious dose of biguanide AMPK activator metformin and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator A769662 to help prevent incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Follow up with Patient A regarding incision-induced pain occurs bi-weekly for six weeks post-op. Patient A experiences little incision-induced pain within 5 days post-op, and no pain is observed by 3 weeks post-op.
- (2) Patient B, a 55 year-old male, present to surgery for gastric banding surgery. Before anesthesia is initiated, Patient B is administered a sub-efficacious dose of biguanide AMPK activator phenformin and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator leptin to help prevent incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen, and the banding procedure proceeds normally. Follow up with Patient B regarding incision-induced pain occurs weekly for eight weeks post-op. Patient B experiences minor incision-induced pain within 1 week post-op, and no pain is observed by 2 weeks post-op.
- (3) Patient C, a 35 year-old female, present to orthopedic surgery for ACL repairs. Immediately following surgery, Patient C is administered locally both a sub-efficacious dose of AICAR and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator berberine to help prevent incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Follow up with Patient C regarding incision-induced pain occurs daily for six weeks post-op. Patient C experiences no incision-induced pain within 2 weeks post-op.
- (4) Patient D, an 85 year-old female, present to orthopedic surgery for hip replacement. Prior to surgery, Patient D is administered systemically a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator rosiglitazone and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator OSU53 to help prevent incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Follow up with Patient D regarding incision-induced pain occurs daily for five weeks post-op. Patient D experiences minor incision-induced pain within 1 week post-op and experiences no incision-induced pain within 3 weeks post-op.
- (5) Patient E, a 22 year-old male, present to trauma surgery for motor vehicle accident (MVA)-related trauma to the ribs and lungs. During surgery, Patient E is administered systemically both a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator IL-6 and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator proguanil to help prevent trauma- and incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Follow up with Patient E regarding pain occurs daily for eight weeks post-op. Patient E experiences minor incision-induced pain up to 3 weeks post-op, but no incision-induced pain is observed within 4 weeks post-op.
- (6) Patient F, a 65 year-old male, presents to the emergency department for chest pain. Initial tests indicate Patent F is experiencing a myocardial infarction (MI). Patient F is immediately taken to surgery for coronary artery bypass grafting. Twelve hours after surgery, Patient F is administered systemically both a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) and a sub-efficacious dose of AMPK activator salicylate to help prevent incision-induced pain such as chronic pain development. Follow up with Patient F regarding incision-induced pain occurs daily for four weeks post-op. Patient F experiences no incision-induced pain within 2 weeks post-op.
