Abstract

Description
The Use of 5-HT,B/1D Agonists to Treat Ocular Pain
The present invention relates to the pharmaceutical treatment of pain. In particular,
the present invention relates to the use of 5-HT1 B/1 D receptor agonists and partial agonists
for the prevention or alleviation of pain in the eye.
Background of the Invention
Pain is a perceived nociceptive response to local stimuli in the body. The perception
of pain at the level of the central nervous system requires the transmission of painful stimuli by peripheral sensory nerve fibers. Upon stimulation of tissue (i.e., thermal, mechanical or
chemical), electro-chemical signals are transmitted from the sensory nerve endings to the
spinal column, and hence to the brain where pain is perceived.
The cornea is highly innervated with sensory afferents which transmit various
painful stimuli to the central nervous system. Pain conditions involving the eye, therefore,
can arise in numerous instances such as, foreign body stimulus, inflammation, dry eye
syndrome, accidental trauma, surgical procedures and post-surgical recovery. For example,
ocular pain can result from photorefractive keratotomy (PRK), a vision correcting, surgical
procedure whereby a laser is used to shape the cornea. This process involves the
photoablation of Bowman's membrane and the stromal levels of the cornea. As a result, the
denuding of the nerve-containing epithelial layers of the cornea can cause some patients to
experience pain following laser surgery until the epithelium regenerates.
Various therapies have been attempted for the alleviation of pain. The use of non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as diclofenac, have been developed to
treat pain. These agents inhibit cyclooxygenase dependent prostaglandin synthesis.
Prostaglandins can modulate pain perception at the level of the central nervous system and
systemic administration of NSAIDs is known to provide analgesia. However, the use of
NSAIDs can involve undesired side effects including gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney
dysfunction.
Opiates are another class of compounds used to treat pain. Opiates can be
administered in a number of ways. For example, opiates can be administered systemically, by intravenous injection or oral dosage, or locally, by subcutaneous, intramuscular or
topical application. Opiates, however, have been associated with several problems including
dose escalation (tolerance), addiction, respiratory depression and constipation.
Local anesthetics are another class of pain modulators which relieve pain by directly
inhibiting nerve cellular function. One problem of local anesthetic therapy is the short
duration of action. Furthermore, as local anesthetics cause non-specific membrane
stabilization, they can have the undesired coincident effect of also inhibiting other
biological functions, such as fibroblast and surrounding neuronal activity. Therefore, even
though pain sensation can be abated with local anesthetic treatment, healing and normal
function of the tissue may be significantly compromised.
Other agents have also been suggested for use in treating pain. Such agents include tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine and desipramine, alpha-2 adrenergic agonists,
serotonin uptake blockers, such as prozac, and other analgesics such as paracetamol, as
described in United States Patent No. 5,270,050 (Coquelet et al.). Some of these therapies,
however, have been associated with side-effects such as dryness of mouth, drowsiness,
constipation, and low potencies and efficacies.
A class of agents which potently and specifically inhibit the transmission of painful
stimuli by sensory afferents without local anesthetic activity following topical ocular
application has yet to be described.
Serotonin, or 5-hydroxytryptamine ("5-HT'), is an endogenous peripheral and
central neurotransmitter. Activation of serotonin receptors elicits the transduction of
specific intracellular signals which lead to various physiological responses, depending on
the receptor sub-type activated and the tissue stimulated. Certain classes of molecules have
been discovered which bind to 5-HT receptors and either elicit 5-HT agonist or antagonist responses. Researchers have pursued the use of various 5-HT receptor agonists and
antagonists in an effort to modulate cellular activity, and hence, effect various therapies to
the afflicted tissues.
A number of different sub-types of 5-HT receptors have been discovered, based on differential agonist/antagonist sensitivities, second messenger coupling and protein structures. Such sub-types include, for example, 5-HT1B, 5-HT1 D, 5-HT1Λ and 5-HT2A
(Hoyer et al., VII. International Union of Pharmacology Classification of Receptors for 5-
Hydroxytryptamine (Serotonin), Pharmacological Reviews, volume 46, No. 2, Pages 157-
170 (1994)). While all serotonin receptors bind serotonin, different sub-types of serotonin
receptors, which demonstrate a selective sensitivity to different agonists and antagonists,
exist in various tissues and species. As noted by Hoyer et al. (1994), there are significant
W /
differences in the types of serotonin receptors evident among various species. For example,
the 5-HT1B receptor exists in rodents, while the homolog of this receptor, the
pharmacologically defined 5-HT1D receptor, exists in canine, pig and human species
(Adham et al., 1992 and Hoyer et al., 1994).
Numerous therapies involving the manipulation of various serotonin receptors have
been attempted. For example, the use of 5-HT3 antagonists to treat emesis in cancer
chemotherapy patients is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,446,050 (Rosen); the use of certain
5-HT, agonists to treat a myriad of ailments is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,409,941
(Nowakowski); and the use of 5-HT2 antagonists to treat CNS disorders such as anxiety
have been disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,393,761 (Perregaard et al.). However, nowhere in
these publications has it been disclosed to use 5-HT1B or 5-HT1D agonists for the treatment
of ocular pain.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention is directed to compositions and methods for treating ocular
pain. The present invention is based in part on the finding that compounds which bind to
certain serotonin receptor subtypes in the eye inhibit ocular pain. More specifically, the
present invention provides compositions containing 5-HT1D and/or 5-HT1B agonists for the
treatment of ocular pain.
The methods of the present invention involve the topical dosage of the compositions described above. One advantage of this therapy is that the inhibition of pain is receptor-
specific, as contrasted with non-specific therapy, such as local anesthetic treatment. This
specific activity may reduce greatly the number of dosings per day, and also reduce the
drawbacks of short duration of action and inhibition of wound healing which are associated
with local anesthetics. Additionally, serotonin receptor binding agents acting locally within
ocular tissue avoid the problems of tolerance, addiction and constipation associated with the
chronic, systemic administration of opiates.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention is directed to the use of 5-HT1D and/or 5-HT1B receptor
agonists for the prevention or alleviation of pain. It has now been found that 5-HT1B/1 D
agonists potently prevent or alleviate ocular pain. The 5-HT] D ("ID") receptor is found in
human tissue such as cerebral arteries and parts of the brain, such as the basal ganglia, raphe
and the cerebral cortex (Hoyer et al, (1994)). The 5-HT1B ("IB") receptor, thus far, has
been found in the CNS and peripheral nerves of other species such as rat, mouse and
hamster. However, the IB receptor has been shown to possess similar homology, and thus similar sensitivity, as the ID receptor (Hoyer et al., Pharmacological Reviews, at 167-170).
It has now been found that IB receptor agonists will activate ID receptors.
The compounds of the present invention are ID agonists, IB agonists or IB/ ID
agonists. As used herein, a "IB agonist" refers to a compound which activates a IB
receptor, a "ID agonist" refers to a compound which activates a ID receptor, and a "IB/ ID
agonist" refers to a compound which activates either a 1 B or a 1 D receptor.
Preferred IB/ ID compounds of the present invention are:
7-trifluoromethyl-4(4-methyl- 1 -piperazinyl)-pyrrolo[ 1 ,2-a]quinoxaline
maleate (CGS-12066A)
Anpirtoline
CP-93129
RU-24969 5-carboxamidotryptamine (5-CT)
5-methoxy-n,n,dimethyl-tryptamine
Sumatriptan (GR43175C)
L-694247
Metergoline LY165163 (PAPP)
BMS- 180048
The most preferred IB/ID agonist is 7-trifluoromethyl-4(4-methyl-l-piperazinyl)- pyrrolo[l,2-a]quinoxaline maleate (CGS-12066A). Other classes of IB/ ID agonists have
been suggested or are known in the art and may be useful in the present invention. For
example, U.S. Patent Nos. 5,504,104 (Glennon) and 5,252,749 (Badorc et al.) disclose
tryptamine analogs and thienocyclopentanone oxime ethers, respectively, and WIPO Patent
Publication No. WO 95/14004 (Halazy et al.) discloses azylpiperazines, for use as IB/ID
agonists. The IB/ID agonists of the present invention are available from commercial
sources or may be synthesized by methods known to those skilled in the art.
The following is an example of the anti-pain efficacy of CGS-12066A, a preferred
IB/ID agonist of the present invention:
Example 1
Drug candidates were tested in a formalin-induced model of ocular pain in the rat.
Briefly, 20 μL of a drug candidate or vehicle (maxidex vehicle) were applied topically at
various times between 1 and 30 minutes prior to the administration of formalin. 5 μL of a
0.1% w/v formalin solution (5 μg) was then topically applied using an eppendorf pipette.
Blinking began immediately and the frequency over the first minute was determined. The 5
μg dose of formalin typically yielded about 40-50 blinks in the first minute. The control counts of vehicle animals were compared to the counts of dosed animals and percent
inhibition was then calculated. The results are illustrated in Table 1 below:
Table 1
The IB/ID agonists of the present invention will be contained in topical compositions,
in accordance with formulation techniques known to those skilled in the art. The compounds
may be included in solutions, suspensions and other dosage forms adapted for the particular
IB/ ID agonist and dosing regimen.
The present invention is particularly directed to the provision of compositions adapted
for topical treatment of ophthalmic tissues. The ophthalmic compositions of the present
invention will include one or more IB/ID agonists and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle
for these agonist(s). Various types of vehicles may be used. The vehicles will generally be
aqueous in nature. Aqueous solutions or suspensions are generally preferred, based on ease of
formulation, as well as a patient's ability to easily administer such compositions by means of
instilling one to two drops of the solutions in the affected eyes. However, the compounds of
the present invention may also be readily incorporated into other types of compositions, such
as suspensions, viscous or semi-viscous gels or other types of solid or semi-solid
compositions. Suspensions may be preferred for IB/ ID agonists which are relatively
insoluble in water. The ophthalmic compositions of the present invention may also include
various other ingredients, such as buffers, preservatives, co-solvents and viscosity building
agents.
An appropriate buffer system (e.g., sodium phosphate, sodium acetate or sodium
borate) may be added to prevent pH drift under storage conditions.
Ophthalmic products are typically packaged in multidose form. Preservatives are thus
required to prevent microbial contamination during use. Suitable preservatives include: benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal, chlorobutanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben,
phenylethyl alcohol, edetate disodium, sorbic acid, polyquaternium-1, or other agents known
to those skilled in the art. Such preservatives are typically employed at a level of from 0.001
to 1.0 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the composition (wt.%).
Some of the compounds of the present invention may have limited solubility in water
and therefore may require a surfactant or other appropriate co-solvent in the composition.
Such co-solvents include: polyethoxylated castor oils, Polysorbate 20, 60 and 80; Pluronic®
F-68, F-84 and P-103 (BASF Corp., Parsippany NJ, USA); cyclodextrin; or other agents
known to those skilled in the art. Such co-solvents are typically employed at a level of from
0.01 to 2 wt.%.
Viscosity greater than that of simple aqueous solutions may be desirable to increase
ocular absorption of the active compound, to decrease variability in dispensing the
formulations, to decrease physical separation of components of a suspension or emulsion of
formulation and/or otherwise to improve the ophthalmic formulation. Such viscosity building agents include, for example, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose,
hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose,
hydroxypropyl cellulose or other agents known to those skilled in the art. Such agents are
typically employed at a level of from 0.01 to 2 wt.%.
The compounds may also be used for treating irritated tissues following ophthalmic
surgery. The compounds may be used for acute treatment of temporary conditions, or may be
administered chronically. The compounds may also be used prophylactically, especially prior
to ocular surgery or noninvasive ophthalmic procedures, or other types of surgery.
The dosage of IB/ID agonists utilized for any of the above-described purposes will
generally be from about one to two drops of a 0.01 wt.% to 3 wt.% composition, administered
one to four times per day.
The compounds and compositions of the invention will be used to prevent or
ameliorate ocular pain associated with various stimuli. For example, the IB/ID agonists and
compositions of the present invention may be used in treating pain arising from allergens,
inflammation, trauma, dry eye, foreign body sensation, such as from contact lenses and
surgery. The compounds of the present invention may be used for the treatment of pain
