Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the treatment of diseases with agents, drugs and other therapeutics.
- the invention relates to prevention of attenuated response to and side effects associated with drug therapies, in particular, chronic drug therapies for the treatment of skin diseases.
- Tachyphylaxis also known as tolerance
- tolerance is a falling-off in the effects produced by a drug during continuous use or constantly repeated administration.
- Tachyphylaxis is thought to arise from desensitisation, associated with conformational changes or modifications (such as phosphorylation) in the receptor (US Patent 5 , 403 , 590 ; Benovic, J.
- a second cause of tachyphylaxis is thought to be down regulation of the receptor (or other components in the targeted signalling pathway ) for the drug in question (Lefkowitz, R. J., et al., (1980) Curr. Top. Cell. Regul. 17:205-230).
- Down-regulation of the receptor decreases the number of receptor system molecules on a cell, thus decreasing the response to continued administration of the therapeutic agent.
- alternating therapies may be used.
- tachyphylaxis associated with intermittent pulse therapy over several days or weeks with topical steroids topical steroids may be prevented by alternating the steroid treatment with an arninoguanidine composition.
- Agents such as tazarotene may be used in combination with corticosteroids in the treatment of psoriasis (Leitz et al., 2000, J Am Acad Dermatol 43 (2 Pt 3): S43-6).
- vitamin D analogues for example, topical treatments for skin diseases, does not lead to tachyphylaxis (Kirsner R.S. and Federman D., American Family Physician 52:237-240, 1995).
- tachyphylaxis does in fact develop in patients undergoing chronic therapies using vitamin D and its analogues. Indeed, tachyphylaxis is a major problem in vitamin D analogue therapy. Furthermore, we have discovered that an underlying cause of tachyphylaxis is the degradation of the drug in the patient, rather than de-sensitisation or receptor down-regulation. Thus, we have found that when a patient is exposed to a drug (for example, a vitamin D analogue) for extended periods, there is an increase in the expression of enzymes which are capable of metabolising that drug. Accordingly, we provide for a method of treatment of tachyphylaxis by inhibiting such induced metabolic enzymes.
- a drug for example, a vitamin D analogue
- a method of alleviating or preventing a tachyphylactic response to an agent in an individual comprising administering to the individual an antagonist of a metabolic enzyme which is induced as a result of exposure of the individual to the agent, in which the enzyme activity is capable of metabolising the agent.
- an antagonist of a metabohc enzyme for use in a method of alleviating or preventing a tachyphylactic response to an agent in a individual , in which the metabolic enzyme is induced as a result of exposure of the individual to the agent.
- the antagonist inhibits the breakdown of the agent by decreasing the amount or activity, or both, of the metabolic enzyme.
- the antagonist is administered locally to apart of the individual which is exhibiting a tachyphylactic response, or a symptom of the disease being treated by the agent, or both.
- the effects of the antagonist are substantially restricted to the part of the individual to which the antagonist is administered.
- the metabolic breakdown of the agent in other parts of the individual are not substantially reduced.
- the antagonist is administered to the skin of the individual .
- the antagonist is not capable of crossing the basement membrane of the epidermis.
- the antagonist is administered to a individual already exhibiting a tachyphylactic response
- the antagonist is administered simultaneously with the agent.
- the agent is selected from the group consisting of: a steroid, a topical steroid and a corticosteroid, together with natural or artificial analogues of any of these.
- the agent comprises a macrolactam.
- the agent comprises a vitamin D analogue selected from the group consisting of: Calcitriol (la,25(OH) 2 D 3 , la,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, 1,25-dihyroxycholecalciferol), Calcipotriol (Dovanex; MC903) and Tacalcitol (la,24(R)-dihydroxyvitemin D 3 ; Curatoderm).

- a method of detecting the likelihood of a individual developing a tachyphylactic response to an agent comprising the steps of: administering the agent to a cell of the individual ; and detecting the amount and or activity of a metabohc enzyme capable of metabohsing the agent, in which an increased amount or activity indicates that the individual is likely to develop a tachyphylactic response.
- a method of identifying an molecule which is capable of reducing a tachyphylactic response to an agent in a individual comprising the steps of: (a) providing a cell from the individual; (b) exposing the cell to an agent; (c) identifying a metabolic enzyme which is induced as a result of such exposure; and (d) identifying an inhibitor of the enzyme identified in (c).
- a method of relieving tachyphylaxis in a individual induced by administration of an agent in which the agent induces activation of a metabolic pathway which leads to the breakdown of the agent, the method comprising administering an antagonist of an enzyme in the pathway.

- tachyphylaxis develops in response to the administration of a drug
- this is manifested in a decrease over time of the effect (including therapeutic effect) of a drug.
- a given amount of drug administered to a patient at a certain time will have less of a an effect than the same amount of drug administered to the patient initially.
- the degree of therapeutic effect of an initial adirLimstration of a particular dose of a drug may be referred to as the "baseline level”.
- baseline level The degree of therapeutic effect of an initial adirLimstration of a particular dose of a drug.
- the patient fails to respond at all to the drug, and the therapeutic effect of the drug ceases altogether.
- the drug to which the patient develops a tachyphylactic response is referred to here as a "drug in question”.
- a patient exhibits a tachyphylactic response to a drug when the effect of the drug decreases below baseline levels upon continued or repeated administration of the drug over a period of time.
- the effect of the drug includes therapeutic effects, for example, the effect of a vitamin D analogue may include inhibition of proliferation of epithehal cells.
- Other effects which may be non-therapeutic, for example, a hypercalcaemic effect of a drug are also included.
- tachyphylactic response is manifested in a decrease in a therapeutic effect of a drug, most preferably a decrease in the therapeutic effect of the drug which is responsible for the disease treatment etc.
- Our methods and compositions are effective in restoring or increasing the effect of a drug, preferably a therapeutic effect, when administered to a tachyphylactic patient.
- a tachyphylactic response may be exhibited by a patient to a drug which is administered continuously (for example, by infusion), or administered periodically (for example, occasional doses of a drug over time). What is important is that the administration takes place over a period of time. Preferably, the period of time the drug is administered is 7 or more days, for example, 10 days, 14 days or more, or even over a period of months, for example, a month, two months. In extreme cases of chronic therapies, the drug may be administered over the course of years.
- tachyphylaxis against a therapeutic compound results from induction of a deactivating molecule (such as a metabohc enzyme) which is capable of reducing the activity of the therapeutic compound.
- a deactivating molecule such as a metabohc enzyme
- tachyphylaxis may be reversed, reheved, treated, or prevented by administration of one or more antagonists against one or more metabohc enzymes capable of degrading the administered drug (i.e., the drug in question).
- our methods and compositions are such that the therapeutic effectiveness of the drug is increased to 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or more of the baseline level.
- the therapeutic effectiveness of the drag is increased to 100% of the baseline level, in other words, complete relief of tachyphylaxis.
- agent capable of degrading a molecule
- this term should be taken to mean any deactivating molecule which is capable of reducing the activity of that molecule.
- an agent preferably comprises a metabohc enzyme.
- the effectiveness of the methods and compositions in the treatment, alleviation, rehef or prevention of tachyphylaxis may be assayed in a number of ways. Such assays may conveniently be based on assays of the therapeutic effectiveness of a drag in treating, alleviating, preventing, etc a disease or syndrome. Such drug assays are known in the art, and the skilled person will readily be able to choose and if necessary design an appropriate assay to use. Likewise, the effect of treatment with the metabohc enzyme antagonist (i.e., the reduction of tachyphylaxis) may be assessed by measuring the effect of treatment of a host with the drug with and without the metabohc enzyme antagonist.
- tachyphylaxis is reduced (i.e., the administration of the metabohc enzyme antagonist is effective) where the therapeutic effect of the drug on the disease is elevated in the presence of the metabolic enzyme antagonist, but not elevated in its absence.
- a dose of the drug may be administered to the patient and the therapeutic response measured to establish the baseline level.
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist is then administered to the patient.
- a further dose is administered to the patient at a later time and the response of the patient to this dose measured.
- the therapeutic response at this time is higher where the patient has been treated with the antagonists than otherwise.
- the response is suitably expressed as a percentage of the baseline level; i.e., where the patient has been treated with the antagonist, the percentage is higher than without treatment.
- a tachyphylactic response is a result of exposure of a patient to a drug inducing or up- regulating a metabohc enzyme which is capable of metabohsing or breaking down the drag.
- the metabohc enzyme is induced in the patient generally, or in particular in the cells which are in contact with the drug.
- induction we mean a process which leads to a higher metabohc enzyme activity than prior to exposure to the drug.
- a metabohc enzyme may be induced by a number of ways, including upregulation of DNA replication, upregulation of transcription of a gene encoding the enzyme, upregulation of RNA processing, upregulation of RNA turnover, upregulation of translation, upregulation of transport and/or intracellular localisation of polypeptide and/or RNA within the cell, upregulation of post-transcriptional modification, upregulation of protease or other activity which activates a pro-enzyme, upregulation of enzyme cofactors, upregulation of activity of the enzyme, downregulation of breakdown of the enzyme, etc.
- a gene encoding the metabohc enzyme for example, increased transcription, translation, etc.
- induction may consist of processing of an inactive, or less active, form of the enzyme to an active form (such as proteolytic processing of a pro-enzyme).
- a metabohc enzyme may further be induced by removal or processing of an inhibitor of the enzyme.
- a co-enzyme is required for enzyme activity, anything that leads to the up-regulation, production, activation, etc of the co-enzyme may lead to induction of the metabohc enzyme.
- the methods and compositions described here rare especially beneficial in topical use (i.e., topical application of the metabohc enzyme antagonist) where degradation in the intended targeted tissue can be inhibited while drag escaping into the general circulation may be rapidly eliminated through unimpeded catabolism. Local inhibition will thus not interfere with the important overall xenobiotic defence function of the P450 system.
- the local inhibition of drag metabolism in the target tissue may also suitably reduce adverse effects due to build-up of toxic degradation products in the target tissue.
- Topical administration may be contrasted with systemic application, where the drug or agent is administered to a patient (for example, by ingestion) in such a way (for example, by ingestion) that it reaches substantially throughout the patient, so that it has potential to exert its effects in substantially all parts of the patient.
- the drug or agent in question is applied to only a portion of the body of the patient, for example, a smaU area on a tissue or organ.
- the term “topical" or “local” adrninistration is to be understood as administration of a drag or agent to the skin or other epithelial surface of the patient.
- a topical treatment using a drug may involve adrninistration of a drag on, say, the elbow area of a patient. More preferably, topical administration of a drag or agent is directed to a part of the body of the patient which exhibits a symptom of a disease to be treated.
- the drug or agent is not allowed substantially to exert its effects on other parts of the body of the patient.
- the drag or agent is not allowed to substantially exert its effects on parts of the body to which the drug/agent has not been apphed topically, but only on parts of the body to which the drag/agent has been administered.
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist is apphed only to one part or portion of the patient's body, and is only allowed to inhibit or antagonise metabohc enzymes acting within that portion.
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist is apphed to an area of skin which exhibits the symptoms of the disease being treated.
- an antagonist of an enzyme responsible for breaking down vitamin D e.g., an inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP24 such as ketoconazole
- CYP24 such as ketoconazole
- a psoriatic area of skin which is being treated has been treated, or will be treated with a vitamin D analogue.
- such an area will also exhibit a tachyphylactic response to the drag.
- Local adrninistration of the metabohc enzyme antagonist has particular advantages in the treatment of tachyphylaxis.
- drags and other agents which are administered to the body may have toxic or other undesired effects (for example, hypercalcaemia in the case of vitamin D analogues), and the body has natural mechanisms for getting rid of xenobiotics such as drugs.
- restricting the inhibition of the metabohc enzymes (which are responsible for metabolising drugs and externally administered agents) to only a portion of the body allows drag catabohsm to be inhibited locally. The rest of the body of the patient is able to continue to efficiently clear any drag molecules which escape into the general circulation.
- Local inhibition of tachyphylaxis is therefore particularly effective in that it reduces toxicity and simplifies treatment regimes.
- the strategy is particularly effective in relation to dermal and other "surface" conditions (for example, eye, ear, mouth & nose, pulmonary & gastro-intestinal tract, bladder, vagina, joints, cerebro-spinal fluid).
- local or topical administration encompasses administration in such a way that overall or systemic metabohc breakdown of the drag in the patient is not substantially reduced. More preferably, inhibition of metabolic breakdown of the drug occurs in the immediate vicinity of application of the antagonist. Thus, metabolic breakdown of the relevant drag outside drag-target tissues is not substantiaUy reduced.
- the metabolic enzyme antagonist is not capable of penetrating the basement membrane of the epidermis. In other words, the antagonist is retained substantially within the outer layers of the epidermis, above the basement membrane. Retention in such a manner stops, prevents, or retards the entry of the antagonist into the general circulation by way of the circulatory system. This is particularly useful where the disease being treated by the administered drag is a skin disease, such as a skin hype ⁇ roliferative disease being treated by a vitamin D analogue.
- the antagonist may be dehvered in the form of a Transfersome.
- Transfersomes (TM: IDEA, Kunststoff, Germany) are highly deformable lipid vesicles 100-200nm in diameter. They cross the skin barrier (stratum corneum) spontaneously along the same narrow paths (30-lOOnm) through which water evaporates, but in the opposite direction. It is believed that the this process is driven by a strong and inwards-directed force of hydrotaxis. This force is diminished once the stratum comeum is penetrated and the Transfersomes encounter the hyprophihc environment of the lower epidermis. In other words, Transfersomes are able to penetrate the transdermal barrier and accumulate in the viable lower part of epidermis. Transfersomes are described in further detail in a separate section below.
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist is modified, or synthesised in such a way that it is capable of t getting specific sites in the epidermis or other portion, tissue, organ, etc where locahsed inhibition of the metabohc enzyme is desired.
- the ionic charge, hpophihcity, etc of the metabolic enzyme antagonist may be altered in order to be compatible with retention within the epidermis.
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist may be designed to be capable of binding to extracehular matrix molecules, preferably, extracellular matrix proteins present or abundant in the epidermis.
- the target site may comprise an epithehal structure such as a comeodesmosome or desmosome, or a epithehal protein such as SCCE (stratum comeum chymotryptic enzyme), SKALP, corneodesmosin, etc.
- an epithehal structure such as a comeodesmosome or desmosome
- a epithehal protein such as SCCE (stratum comeum chymotryptic enzyme), SKALP, corneodesmosin, etc.
- SCCE stratum comeum chymotryptic enzyme
- SKALP corneodesmosin
- the metabohc enzyme antagonist may be conjugated, fused, or otherwise associated with a targeting molecule such as an antibody capable of binding to the relevant structures.
- the effects of the inhibitor or antagonist may be localised by specifically targeting metabohc enzymes which are expressed only in the relevant tissue, organ, or part of the body.
- metabohc enzymes which are expressed only in the relevant tissue, organ, or part of the body.
- a specific inhibitor of a metabolic enzyme which is expressed in only a certain part of the body may be apphed (even systemically).
- the inhibitory effects on the metabohc enzyme will only be localised to the part of the body which expresses the targeted enzyme.
- the antagonistic effects of the metabohc enzyme antagonist are thereby localised, without affecting the general metabohc breakdown of the drag in other parts of the body of the patient, for example in other tissues such as the liver.
- CYP3 A4 The most abundantly expressed xenobiotic metabohsing liver enzyme is CYP3 A4. This enzyme has a very broad and high activity towards xenobiotics and is regarded as the main catabolic enzyme for xenobiotics. It is expressed, in order of activity in liver, intestine and lung. However, CYP3A4 is not expressed in the skin. The role of CYP3 A4 in the skin is assumed by other C YPs, for example, by CYPIAI and CYP2E1 for the catabohsm of corticosteroids in skin.
- specific inhibitors against CYPl Al and or CYP2E1 may be used to alleviate, reduce, prevent, etc tachyphylaxis associated with administration of any xenobiotic such as a corticosteroid drug.
- a corticosteroid drug since metabolism of the drug is inhibited specifically in the skin, tachyphylaxis against the corticosteroid drag is relieved. The drag is therefore able to exert its therapeutic effects on the part of the body which is being targeted.
- the corticosteroid drug diffuses beyond the epithelial layer or otherwise enters the circulation, it may be carried to the liver to be catabolised in the normal way.
- the benefits of local administration of the inhibitor to a part of the body are achieved by utilising a specific inhibitor for a metabohc enzyme expressed only in that part of the body.
- the main catabolic enzyme for vitamin D and its analogues is the P450 enzyme CYP24. It is expressed in most tissues but not in liver.
- a specific antagonist or inhibitor of CYP24 (such an antisense RNA, etc) may be administered to the patient to reheve tachyphylaxis associated with administration of vitamin D analogues. Tachyphylaxis is reheved in those parts of the body in which CYP24 is expressed, and the drug is able to exert its therapeutic effects at these locations. Metabolic breakdown of vitamin D analogues in other parts of the body, such as the hver, is not inhibited, and the vitamin D analogue may be cleared in the usual way.
- Transfersomes ("carrying bodies") are complex, most often vesicular, bi- or multi- component aggregates capable of crossing barriers and of transferring material between the application and the destination sites. Transfersomes are sold by IDEA Co ⁇ oration, Kunststoff, Germany, and TRANSFERSOME is a trade mark of that company. Transfersome transdermal drug delivery technology may be used for controllable and non-invasive delivery of a wide variety of large molecules as well as for the improved delivery of small molecules, including the metabohc enzyme antagonists and/or drags provided here.
- Transfersomes may be optimised to attain extremely flexible and self-regulating membranes. They are therefore deformable and consequently can cross microporous barriers efficiently, even when the available passages are much smaUer than the average aggregate size.
- Transfersome formulations are typically composed of natural amphipatic compounds suspended in a water-based solution, optionally containing biocompatible surfactants.
- Vesicular Transfersomes consist of a hpid bilayer surrounding an aqueous core and further contain at least one component, capable of softening the membrane. The bilayer of a Transfersome is therefore more flexible than a liposome membrane, even metastable. Transfersome vesicles consequently change their shape easily by adjusting locally to ambient stress.
- Skin is one of the best biological barriers. Its outermost part, the horny layer, reaches less than 10% into the depth of the skin but contributes over 80% to the skin permeability barrier.
- This body protecting layer consists of overlapping, flaccid corneocytes, organized in columnar clusters, sealed with multilameUar hpid sheets that are covalently attached to the cell membranes and very tightly packed.
- the average number of and the degree of order in the intercellular hpid lamellae increases toward the skin surface. This is accompanied by a continuous, but nonlinear, decrease in local water content near the surface. Notwithstanding this, the peak skin barrier is located in the inner half of the homy layer, where the interceUular hpid seals are already formed, but not yet compromised by the skin cells detachment.
- Transfersome vesicles Although small molecules that have crossed the homy layer of the skin (stratum comeum) are normally cleared from the skin through the blood circulation, delivery of drags by means of Transfersome vesicles allows accumulation of drag deep under the skin. Due to their large size, the vesicles are cleared slowly from the skin and associated drags can accumulate at the site. Transfersome mediated administration of weight drugs, consequently, tends to shift the drag distribution towards the deep tissue under the application site. Any method for loading Transfersomes with the metabolic enzyme antagonist and/or the drug to be targeted may be used.
- Phosphohpid suspensions comprise a mixture of phosphatidylcholine (SPC, ex soya. 99%: Nattermann Phosphohpids, Cologne, Germany) and sodium cholate (SC, p.a.; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany).
- SPC phosphatidylcholine
- SC sodium cholate
- % lOPa weight/weight ratio 89: 11
- a suspension with 10% total hpid (by weight) is created by adding buffer (pH 6.5) and further homogenizationby sonication (titanium microtip. Heat Systems W 380, U.S.A.; 30min, 4°C). Final sterilization is achieved by filtration. The average vesicle size was measured with photon correlation spectroscopy (90°, ALV-5000 correlator; ALN-Lasermaschinegesellschaft, Langen, Germany) to be typically 150 +/- 50nm.
- biotransformation metalabohsm/catabohsm
- xenobiotic a foreign compound
- biotransformation is an important aspect of its disposition in vivo.
- One result of biotransformation is the removal of toxic compounds from the body (excretion).
- the types of transformation are many and varied, and thus the metabohc systems are flexible and often non-specific.
- the major factor determining the route of excretion is the structure of the xenobiotic itself. As elimination is the end point for biotransformation, metabolites are generally more polar than the parent compound, and for excretion at the kidneys or secretion into bile, polar, ionised compounds are preferred.
- Phase 1 oxidative, reductive or hydrolytic reactions
- Phase 2 conjugation reactions
- the general principle is that Phase 1 reactions modify the structure of the xenobiotic to introduce a functional group suitable for conjugation with glucuronic acid, sulphate or some other highly polar moiety, making the entire product water soluble.
- Phase 1 reactions are therefore the first step towards elimination of xenobiotics.
- Oxidative biotransformation is a principle part of this process and the major oxidative reactions that foreign compounds undergo are catalysed by the microsomal mono-oxygenases.
- oxidation reactions include aromatic hydroxylation, aliphatic hydroxylation, ahcychc hydroxylation, heterocyclic hydroxylation, N-, S- and O-dealkylation, N- oxidation, N-hydroxylation, S-oxidation, desulphuration and deamination.
- the majority of these oxidative reactions are catalysed by the microsomal mono-oxygenase system based on cytochrome P-450.
- the mono-oxygenase system is based around the enzymes cytochrome P- 450 and NADPH cytochrome P-450 reductase.
- Cytochrome P-450 is a haemoprotein and is the terminal oxidase involved in the hydroxylation of drugs and other foreign compounds, and also of endogenous substrates such as steroids.
- the oxidised reactants are generally more hydrophilic and can either be excreted from the body as such or serve as substrates for further oxidation or as substrates for phase II detoxifying enzymes such as glucuronosyltransferase. While generally beneficial, this defence mechanism will reduce the biological half-life of therapeutic drags and may result in toxic degradation-products, especially after prolonged drag use has up-regulated the expression of the P450 enzymes. In order to be able to catabolize the virtually unlimited number of xenobiotics the organism might be challenged with there is a large number of P450 enzymes (approximately 20) which generally have a fairly broad specificity.
- the methods and compositions described here make use of any antagonist of a metabolic enzyme involved in the metabolism, including metabohc enzymes involved in the biotransformation, oxidation, reduction or hydrolysis, conjugation, or excretion, etc of a drag.
- the antagonist may be an antagonist of a Phase 1 enzyme, or a Phase 2 enzyme, or both.
- the antagonist is an antagonist of a Phase 1 enzyme.
- the antagonist is an antagonist of a cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP).
- CYP cytochrome P450 enzyme
- More than one antagonist may be used, in which case the antagonists may be against the same metabohc enzyme, or against two or more metabohc enzymes.
- one, two or more metabohc enzyme antagonists may be targeted against members of a metabohc pathway responsible for degradation or breakdown of the drag. Some or all of the enzymes in the pathway may be induced by the administration of the drag in question.
- Antagonists against regulatory molecules involved in the regulation of expression of the metabohc enzyme(s) may also be used.
- Antagonists of metabohc enzymes may be identified by any means known in the art. For example, where the metabohc enzyme involved is already identified, then a known compound capable of inhibiting or antagonising its expression and/or activity may be chosen.
- assays to identify metabohc enzyme antagonists may be designed.
- cells for example, skin biopsies
- genes identified whose expression is induced as a result of (or associated with) such exposure may be identified by use of probes, sequencing, size of the induced transcript or protein etc. Doing so allows metabolic enzymes whose expression is induced or activated by the exposure to the drag to be identified.
- an antagonist may be chosen from compounds known to antagonise the metabolic enzyme.
- the metabohc enzyme is an unknown enzyme, a bank of putative or candidate inhibitors may be tested by means known in the art for inhibitory activity.
- such inhibitors and antagonists are specific to the metabohc enzyme induced.
- general inhibitors of metabohc enzymes may also be used in the methods and compositions as described here.

- P450 enzymes also known as cytochromes P450, are members of a group of proteins known as 'r em-thiolate proteins", according to the Nomenclature Comrnittee of the International Union of Biochemistry (NC-IUB) (1991) Nomenclature of electron-transfer proteins. Recommendations 1989. Eur. J. Biochem. 200, 599-611.
- Haem-thiolate proteins are haemoproteins in which the haem iron fifth ligand is a thiolate group (typically of a Cys residue).
- a distinctive feature of haem-thiolate proteins is a Soret abso ⁇ tion band at around 450 nm inthe CO-difference spectrum of reduced forms.
- cystathionine ⁇ -synthase (EC 4.2.1.22) (haemoprotein H450; serine sulphydrase; ⁇ -thionase), haem chloroperoxidase (EC 1.11.1.10), nitric oxide synthase (EC 1.14.13.39).
- Cytochrome P450 enzymes are widely distributed in bacteria; fungi, plants and animals.
- P450-conteining monooxygenase systems primarily fall into two major classes: bacterial/mitochondrial (I), and microsomal (II).
- P450-containing systems can be classified according to the number of their protein components (Degtyarenko, K.N. and Archakov, A.I. (1993) Molecular evolution of P450 superfamily and P450-containing monooxygenase systems. FEBS Lett. 332, 1-8.).

- the P450 molecule is an / ⁇ protein, shaped like a triangular prism; the overall stracture has been described as being divided into -rich ('right side') and ⁇ -rich ('left side') domains (Poulos, Ravichandran, Hasemann, Cupp-Vickery, supra). However, this terminology is inappropriate, since the - and ⁇ -rich 'domains' comprise discontinuous assembhes of secondary stracture segments and do not constitute independent folding units.
- sequence identity between any two P450s with known 3-D structure reaches only 20% or less, the overall topology of the proteins is similar, with some differences in the orientations of various helices. The most dramatic variations between P450 structures are found in regions responsible for substrate binding and access.
- P450 CYP3A4 is involved in the oxidation of at least half the drugs used today.

- metabohc enzyme inhibitors include those disclosed in GB2199579 and EP0683156, as well as Schuster et al.
- compositions described here are useful for the treatment of tachyphylaxis associated with administration of vitamin D and its analogues.
- Vitamin D analogues have been used to treat diseases associated with cell proliferation, such as psoriasis. Vitamin D analogues have also been used to treat several other inflammatory dermatoses, including scleroderma and viteligo. Topical vitamin D analogues are also being evaluated in clinical trials for the treatment of photo ageing. Topical and oral vitamin D analogues are being evaluated for the treatment of cancer. The commonly used vitamin D analogues are described in further detail below. There are several other topical vitamin D analogues currently in clinical trial which are due for launch in the next two years. Topical vitamin D analogues are now the market leaders for the treatment of psoriasis. In the United Kingdom, sales of Calcopotriol in 1999 reached £25 million. The world market for psoriasis therapies is £650 million per annum.

- tachyphylaxis Long term administration of any of these vitamin D analogues leads to tachyphylaxis developing against the drag, such tachyphylaxis may be reheved by administration of an antagonist of a metabolic enzyme capable of breaking down the vitamin D analogue, and whose expression and/or activity is up-regulated.
- the vitamin D analogue comprises Calcipotriol and the metabolic enzyme inhibitor comprises an inhibitor of CYP2E1, such as ketoconazole.
- the vitamin D analogue comprises Calcitriol and/or Tacalcitol and the metabohc enzyme inhibitor comprises an inhibitor of CYP24 such as ketoconazole, Compound A, B or C.

- Calcitriol 1 25-dihydroxyvitamin D 3 is an activated natural vitamin Ds made by Roche, Duphar.(Jones et al., Physiological Reviews IS: 1193-1231 -98. (see especially fig. 10))
- 1,25-dihyroxycholecalciferol (Calcitriol, l,25(OH) 2 D 3 ) inhibits cell proliferation and stimulates differentiation. It also has direct anti- inflammatory actions inhibiting the production and action of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as Interleukin l ⁇ (IL-l ⁇ ).
- IL-l ⁇ Interleukin l ⁇
- Calcitriol therefore appeared to be a new way to treat diseases characterised by a change in the balance between differentiation and proliferation, for example in psoriasis and cancers.

- Compound B N-[4-(frex-l-yl)benzoyl]-2-(lH-irmdazol-l-yl)-2- ⁇ henyl)-l-amino ethane
- Other inhibitors listed in Table 2 may also be used.
- the vitamin D hydroxylases constitute a family of mixed-function oxidases which contain as their specific component, a cytochrome P450 isoform.
- cytochrome P450 isoforms have been cloned, including one putatively representing the hver vitamin D-25- hydroxylase (C YP27) and another that of the kidney 25-OH-D-24-hydroxylase (C YP24) (Usui, E., Noshiro, M., and Okuda, K. (1990) FEBSLett 262, 135-138; Ohyama, Y, Noshiro, M., and Okuda, K. (1991) FEBSLett 278, 195-198).
- the main catabolic enzyme for inactivation of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin Dj (Calcitrol, 1,25 (OH) 2 D 3 ) in the skin is the microsomal enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D-24-hydroxylase (D-24- hydroxylase, CYP24).
- CYP24 is also the major catabolic enzyme responsible for the breakdown of vitamin D and its analogues. CYP24 is expressed in most tissues, including the skin.
- CYP24 is a member of the cytochrome P450 protein superfamily of liaeme-containing mono-oxygenases and will sequentially oxidise 1,25 (OH) 2 D 3 to the inactive and water-soluble metabolite calcitroic acid for bilary excretion.
- C YP27B 1 generates the active vitamin D species (25 (OH)D 3 to 1, 25 (OH) 2 D 3 ) and is probably anabolic rather than catabolic.
- CYP27A1 is also involved in the activation of vitamin D (D 3 to 25(OH)D 3 ) but seems to serve catabolic functions as well, especially with vitamin D analogues;
- CYP24 appears to be specific for catabohsm of l,25(OH) 2 D 3 and other active analogues but can catalyse several different reactions in their degradation.
- the degradation of Calcitrol by P450 cytochromes is understood to involve the following pathway.
- l,25-(OH) 2 D 3 (Calcitrol) is converted by CYP24 (24-hydroxylase) to 1,24,25- (OH) 3 D 3 (which is 1/10 as active as calcitrol).
- l,24,25-(OH) 3 D 3 is converted by CYP24 to 24- OXO-1,25 (OH) 2 D 3 .
- 24-0X0-1,25 (OH) 2 D 3 is converted by CYP24 to 24-0X0-1,23,25 (OH) 3 D 3 .24-0X0-1,23,25 (OH) 3 D 3 .
- CYP24 is converted by CYP24 to 24,25,26,27-tetranor-l,23 (OH) 2 D 3 (C-23 alcohol). 24,25,26,27-tetranor-l,23 (OH) 2 D 3 is converted by CYP24 to Calcitroic acid. See Jones G. et al., Physiological Reviews 78:1193-1231 -98 (especially fig. 10). Liver does not contain vitamin D receptors nor CYP24 and will not degrade calcitrol efficiently, but it will degrade Calcipotriol.
- Calcitriol for example, any of the enzymes described above as being involved in the metabohc pathway, may be targeted for the treatment or alleviation of tachyphylaxis associated with adrninistration of Calcitriol.
- Metabolism of Calcipotriol The metabohsm of Calcipotriol is understood to involve the following pathway.
- a nonspecific 24-oxidoreductase acts on MC903 (Calcipotriol) to produce MCI 046 (which is 1/11 as active as MC903).
- MC1046 is acted on by a 22, 23-reductase to produce MC1080 (which is 1/8 as active as MC903).
- MC1080 is acted on by CYP24 to produce MC1439 (23S)/1441(23R).
- MC1439 is converted by CYP24 to 24,25,26,27-tetranor-l,23 (OH) 2 D 3 (C-23 alcohol). This is then converted by CYP24 to produce Calcitroic acid. See Masuda et al., JBC. 269:4794-4803, 1994. (especially fig 10).
- CYP27 is capable of 24-, 25-, or 26(27)-hydroxylation. Ref: "Transfected human hver cytochrome P-450 hydroxylates vitamin D analogs at different side-chain positions", Guo Y. et al., PNAS 90:8668-8672, 1993. CYP27 may be involved in the metabolism of l ⁇ ,24(S)(OH) 2 D 2 (requires 22,23-reduction). See Jones G. et al., Biochemical Pharmacology 52:133-140, 1996.
- any of the enzymes involved in catalysing the various steps in the metabohsm of Calcipotriol may be targeted for the treatment or alleviation of tachyphylaxis associated with administration of Calcipotriol.
- Tacalcitol The metabohsm of Tacalcitol is understood to involve two major mechanisms. See “Isolation and identification of l -hydroxy-24-oxovitamin ⁇ and l ⁇ ,23-dihydroxy- 24oxovitamfnD 3 ", Weinstein E. A. et al., Biochemical Pharmacology 58:1965-1973, 1999.
- l ⁇ , 24(R) dihydroxyvitamin E (Tacalcitol) is acted on by 25-hychoxyvitemin D-l ⁇ - hydroxylase to produce l,24,25-(OH) 3 D 3 .
- l,24,25-(OH) 3 D 3 is acted on by CYP24 to produce l ⁇ ,25(OH) 2 -24-OXO-D 3.
- l ,25(OH) 2 -24-OXO-D 3 is acted on by CYP24 to produce l ,23,25(OH) 3 -24-OXO-D 3 .l ⁇ ,23,25(OH) 3 -24-OXO-D 3 Is acted on by CYP24 to produce 24,25,26,27-tetranor-l,23 (OH) 2 D 3 (C-23 alcohol), which is then converted by CYP24 to Calcitroic acid. This pathway appears to account for about 17% of Tacalcitol metabohsm.
- loc, 24(R) dihydroxyvitamin E 3 (Tacalcitol) is acted on CYP24 to produce l ⁇ (OH)-24- OXO-D 3 , which is converted by CYP24 to produce l ,23(OH) 2 -24-OXO-D 3 l ⁇ ,23(OH) 2 -24-OXO-D 3 is converted by CYP24 to produce 24,25,26,27-tetranor-l,23
- Any of the enzymes involved in catalysing the various steps in the metabohsm of Tacalcitol may be targeted for the treatment or alleviation of tachyphylaxis associated with administration of Tacalcitol.
- the rate of metabohsm of a vitamin D analogue may for example be measured as described previously (Dilworth, F. J., Calverley, M. J., Makin, H. L. J., and Jones, G. (1994) Biochem. Pharmacol.4 ', 987-993).
- tissue culture cells such as HPK1 A-ras cells are incubated with labelled (for example, tritiated) vitamin D analogue (23 nM) in the presence or absence of varying concentrations of analogue (0 to 23 ⁇ M) for 3 h at 37 °C.
- Triplicate 500- ⁇ l ahquots of aqueous fraction from the cell/medium extract are mixed with aqueous scintillation mixture, and the radioactivity is measured using a scintillation counter.
- vitamin D receptor Down-regulation of the vitamin D receptor is responsible for tachyphylaxis associated with administration of vitamin D analogues.
- the expression of the vitamin D receptor may be assayed by any means known in the art. For example, a RT-PCR analysis may be carried out using the following primers: sense
- tachyphylaxis is in fact caused by the induction of metabohc enzymes which break down vitamin D and its analogues as a result of adrninistration of vitamin D analogues.
- a preferred method of assaying reduction of proliferation is by measurement of mitotic index.
- Mitotic index as used here means the percentage of cells in a given population which are undergoing mitosis and/or cell division. Other assays are possible, for example, measurement of cell cycle period.
- prohferation is intended to mean the division of cells resulting in growth of a tissue.
- Prohferative cells are actively dividing, and undergo such cell cycle processes as DNA replication, mitosis, cell division etc.
- Various methods are known by which prohferation may be assayed, for example, by radiolabelling with radioactive nucleotide triphosphates, tritiated thymidine, bromodeoxyuridine etc to detect replicating cells, by visual examination for mitotic cells etc.
- Proliferation may also assayed by expression of markers such as Ki-67, or by determining the increase in cell numbers by direct counting of cultured cells under different conditions.
- Tachyphylaxis associated with long term administration of vitamin D analogues may be assessed by measurement of any effect of the vitamin D analogue, preferably a therapeutic effect. Other effects may be assayed.
- an effect which may be measured, particularly for in vitro assays, may comprise the ability of the analogue to promote differentiation and/or reduce prohferation of cells.
- proliferation we mean the presence of cell division.
- Differentiation refers to the process by which unspecialised cells of tissues become speciahsed for particular functions. Differentiation of a cell may be assessed in various ways, for example mo ⁇ hologically, or by assaying expression of protein markers specific for the differentiated cell type as known in the art.
- Kl and K10 keratin are markers for commitment to terminal differentiation of epidermal keratinocytes, and expression is increased when cellular differentiation occurs.
- other keratin subtypes may be used as markers for different differentiation stages, for example, K5, K14, K16 and K17.
- non-keratin markers for example EGF-receptor and ⁇ -1 integrin, may also be used as markers for cellular differentiation. Differentiation and prohferation may be assayed in various ways, for example, by detection of any of the differentiation and/or prohferation markers.
- markers include (GenBank accession numbers in brackets): Kl (NM 006121); K5 (XM 006848); K6A (XM 006847); K6 B; XM 015481); K6 E (XM 012228); K6 F (L 42611); K7 (L 42612); K10 (XM 012227); K13 (XM 008574); K14 (NM 000421); K16 (XM 008578); K17 (XM 008579); K18 (XM 029625); Cyclin Al (XM 012704); Cyclin A2 (XM 012292); involucrine (XM 001677); MDM2 (XM 017531); b3-integrin (XM 012636); c-fos (AF111167); IL-1 alpha (XM 017768); IL-6 (XM 004777); IL-8 (XM 031289); TNF alpha (NM 000594); GM- CSF
- PCR primers comprising oligonucleotides may be designed against any one or more of the above sequences, and amplification reactions conducted on any suitable sample to detect the presence and/or absence of the differentiation and proliferation markers).
- Corticosteroids refer to any of the steroids from the adrenal cortex (eg. hydrocortisone) excluding the sex hormones, but including synthetic or natural derivatives. They are divided in the two major groups: the glucocorticoids and the mineralocorticoids. The corticosteroids, glucocorticoids and mineralocorticoids, bind to and functions through the glucocorticoid receptor and the mineralocorticoid receptor respectively. These receptors are ligand activated transcription factors belonging to the same protein super-family as the vitamin D receptor.
- corticosteroid should be understood to include reference to analogues of corticosteroids, mineralocorticoids and glucocorticoids, whether synthetic, artificial or natural, preferably having corticosteroid activity.
- Preferred corticosteroid activities are set out below and include anti-mflammatory activity, ability to bind to corticosteroid receptors, etc.
- Glucocorticoids exert both receptor-mediated and direct inhibitory effects on the inflammatory cells seen for example in biopsy specimens of psoriasis. They also inhibit mediators of inflammation such as phospholipase A2, an enzyme that initiates the arachidonic acid cascade.
- Topical corticosteroids have been prescribed for the majority of patients with localised psoriasis for the past three decades in the United States of America. Topical steroids were prescribed to 85% of all psoriasis patients seen by dermatologists but satisfactory improvements was maintained in only 7% after 12 months. Corticosteroids are prone to tachyphylactic response. Many clinicians have had the experience where a previously beneficial topical steroid gradually loses its effectiveness and becomes "expensive Vaseline" for the patient.
- topical corticosteroids examples include Clobetasol propionate, Amicinonide, Betamethasone dipropionate, Betamethasone-17-valerate, Aclometasone dipropionate and Dexamethasone.
- Enzymes in the P450 system are the main metabohc enzymes for inactivation of corticosteroids.
- Clobetasol and Dexamethasone are two corticosteroid compounds widely used in dermatology. Both of these compounds are substrates for CYP3A4 in the hver. However, CYP3 A4 is not expressed in the skin so its function there are substituted by other oxidative enzymes.
- CYPl Al and CYP2E1 are capable of oxidising Clobetasol and Dexamethasone respectively and are expressed in skin.
- the expression of the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors may be assayed by any means known in the art. For example, a RT-PCR analysis may be carried out using the following primers.
- Glucocorticoid receptor sense CCTCAACAGCAACAACAGGACC and anti-sense CTTGTGAGACTCCTGTAGTGGC.
- Mineralocorticoid receptor sense CTTCAGCAAGACAATAATCGGC and anti-sense ACTTAGAGTGGAAGGACGATGG.
- Macrolactams for example, Tacrolimus and Ascomycrn, are immunosupressive drags that inhibit T-lymphocyte activation and expression of cytokines. Macrolactams are administed in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as atopic eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, psoriasis, viteligo, alopecia areata, and a variety of inflammatory dermatoses.
- Adrninistration of macrolactams for the treatment of diseases induces a tachyphylactic response in a patient against the macrolactam.
- Catabolic enzymes such as CYP3A4, and CYPIAI, CYP1A2, CYP24, CYP26, CYP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B4, CYP2C3, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP2E2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A6 and CYP3G1 are up-regulated, resulting in increased degradation of the administered macrolactam.
- the main enzyme responsible for breakdown of macrolactams is CYP3A4, which is known to degrade macrolactams in the liver.
- compositions described here encompass the use of one or more antagonists against one or more metabolic enzymes responsible for breakdown of macrolactams, such as the CYP enzymes described above, in the treatment or alleviation of tachyphylaxis associated with administration of macrolactams.

- the metabolic enzyme antagonist(s) may be apphed to a patient on its own, on in the form of a pharmaceutical composition as described in more detaU below.
- compositions and methods are suitable for the treatment or alleviation of tachyphylaxis associated with treatment of psoriasis.
- Psoriasis manifests itself as inflamed swollen skin lesions covered with shVery white scale.
- Characteristics of psoriasis include pus-like blisters (pustular psoriasis), severe sloughing of the skin (erythrodermic psoriasis), drop-like dots (guttate psoriasis) and smooth inflamed lesions (inverse psoriasis).
- psoriasis The causes of psoriasis are currently unknown, although it has been established as an autoimmune skin disorder with a genetic component.
- Whether a person actuaUy develops psoriasis may depend on "trigger factors" which include systemic infections such as strep throat, injury to the skin (the Koebner phenomenon), vaccinations, certain medications, and intramuscular injections or oral steroid medications. Once something triggers a person's genetic tendency to develop psoriasis, it is thought that in turn, the immune system triggers the excessive skin ceU reproduction.
- Skin ceUs are programmed to follow two possible programs: normal growth or wound healing, hi a normal growth pattern, skin ceUs are created in the basal cell layer, and then move up through the epidermis to the stratum comeum, the outermost layer of the skin. This normal process takes about 28 days from cell birth to death. When skin is wounded, a wound healing program (regenerative maturation) is triggered, in which cells are produced at a much faster rate, the blood supply increases and localized inflammation occurs. Lesional psoriasis is characterized by ceU growth in the alternate growth program.
- Skin ceUs (keratinocytes) switch from the normal growth program to regenerative maturation, ceUs are created and pushed to the surface in as little as 2-4 days, and the skin cannot shed the ceUs fast enough.
- the excessive skin cells build up and form elevated, scaly lesions.
- the white scale (“plaque") that usuaUy covers the lesion is composed of dead skin cells, and the redness of the lesion is caused by increased blood supply to the area of rapidly dividing skin ceUs.
- Psoriasis is a genetically determined disease of the skin characterized by two biological hallmarks. First, there is a profound epidermal hype ⁇ roliferation related to accelerated and incomplete differentiation.
- a common form of psoriasis psoriasis vulgaris, is characterized by well-demarcated erythematous plaques covered by thick, silvery scales.
- a characteristic finding is the isomo ⁇ hic response (Koebner phenomenon), in which new psoriatic lesions arise at sites of cutaneous trauma.
- guttate psoriasis a form of the disease that often erupts following streptococcal pharyngitis
- pustular psoriasis which is characterized by numerous sterile pustules, often 2 to 5 mm in diameter, on the palms and soles or distributed over the body.
- Objective methods which are employed for establishing the effect of treatment of psoriasis patients include the resolution of plaques by visual monitoring and with photography.

- the methods and compositions described here rely, in some embodiments, on decreasing and/or blocking the activity of one or more metabohc enzymes involved in the breakdown of an administered drug as a means of aUeviating and/or preventing a tachyphylactic response to a drag.
- the metabohc enzyme is one which is induced, directly or indirectly, by exposure of the patient's cells to the drug.
- Reduction and/or inhibition of metabohc enzyme activity may take place at various levels, including regulation of DNA rephcation, regulation of transcription of a gene encoding the enzyme, regulation of RNA processing, regulation of RNA turnover, regulation of translation, regulation of transport and/or rntraceUular localisation of polypeptide and/or RNA within the cell, regulation of post-transciptional modification, regulation of protease or other activity which activates a pro-enzyme, regulation of enzyme cofactors, regulation of activity of the enzyme, regulation of breakdown of the enzyme, etc.

- Antagonists of metabohc enzymes may achieve their effects at any one or more of the levels described above.
- the antagonist may be an inhibitor of transcription, translation, processing, or an activator of breakdown, etc of the metabohc enzyme.
- antagonist as used in the art, is generaUy taken to refer to a compound which binds to an enzyme and inhibits the activity of the enzyme.
- the term as used here, however, is intended to refer broadly to any agent which inhibits the activity of a molecule, not necessarily by binding to it. Accordingly, it includes agents which affect the expression of a protein such as a protease involved in the breakdown of the metabolic enzyme, or the biosynthesis of a molecule such as a protease inhibitor (inhibitor of the protease), or the expression of modulators of the activity of the protease or protease inhibitor.
- the specific activity which is inhibited may be any activity which is characteristic of the enzyme or molecule, for example, metabohc enzyme activity involved in or leading to the breakdown of a drag.
- Assays for metabohc enzyme activity, in particular, any activity associated with breakdown of a drag, are known in the art.
- the antagonist may bind to and compete for one or more sites on the relevant molecule, for example, a metabohc enzyme, preferably, the catalytic site of the metabohc enzyme. Preferably, such binding blocks the interaction between the molecule and another entity (for example, the interaction between a metabohc enzyme and its substrate).
- the metabolic enzyme antagonist may bind to any of the P450 cytochromes in such a manner as to decrease/inhibit its interaction with a substrate (e.g., a drag) to prevent oxidation, hydroxylation, deaUcylation, etc of that substiate.
- the antagonist need not necessarily bind directly to a catalytic site, and may bind for example to an adjacent site, another protein (for example, a protein which is complexed with the enzyme) or other entity on or in the ceU, so long as its binding reduces the activity of the enzyme or molecule.
- an antagonist may include a substrate of the enzyme, or a fragment of this which is capable of binding to the enzyme.
- whole or fragments of a substrate generated natively or by peptide synthesis may be used to compete with the substrate for binding sites on the enzyme.
- a molecule which mimicks the shape or conformation of a drug molecule may be used as an inhibitor of metabohc enzyme activity.

- Other inhibitors suitable for use as metabohc enzyme antagonists are shown in Table 2 below. Inhibition of P450 enzyme activity may be permanent or reversible.
- Blocking the activity of a metabohc enzyme may also be achieved by reducing the level of expression of the metabohc enzyme in the cell.
- the ceU may be treated with antisense compounds, for example oligonucleotides having sequences specific to the metabohc enzyme mRNA.
- the level of expression of regulators of the metabohc enzyme for example, transcription factors involved in expression of the metabolic enzyme, may also be regulated this way.
- the antagonist may regulate expression of the relevant metabohc enzyme. Regulation of expression may be achieved by regulating the transcription of a gene encoding the metabohc enzyme, or by regulating the transcription of a gene which encodes another polypeptide involved in the regulation of expression of the metabolic enzyme. For example, it is known that transcription of the gene encoding CYP24 (which is an enzyme capable of metabolic breakdown of vitamin D analogues) is dependent on the Ras signalling pathway. The drag Manumycin A is capable of inhibiting the Ras signalling pathway.
- Manumycin A may therefore be used as an antagonist of the metabolic enzyme CYP24 (Dwivedi P.P., Omdahl, J.L., Kola I., Hume D.A., and May B.K., 2000, Regulation of rat cytochrome P450C24 (CYP24) gene expression, Journal of Biological Chemistry 275:47-55, 2000).

- the screening method may involve competition with a labeUed competitor.
- these screening methods may test whether the candidate compound results in inhibition of the metabohc enzyme, using detection systems appropriate to the ceUs bearing the metabolic enzyme.
- the assay system may comprise a drag, i.e., a drag known to or likely to induce tachyphylaxis, and the assay may measure the breakdown or turnover of that drag by the metabohc enzyme in the presence and absence of the putative antagonist.
- the antagonist may affect transcription of the metabohc enzyme, and a suitable assay may measure the amount of transcription, e.g., by Northern assay, RT-PCR, etc.
- Agents which are capable of reducing or inhibiting transcription etc are suitable for use as metabolic enzyme antagonists.

Such assays typicaUy measure the relevant activities in the presence or absence of a putative antagonist to identify metabolic enzyme antagonists suitable for use here.
- the screening methods may simply comprise the steps of mixing a candidate compound with a solution containing the metabohc enzyme to form a mixture, and determining whether its ability to bind a substrate (for example, a drag) is reduced.
- Fusion proteins such as those made from Fc portion and the metabolic enzyme, may also be used for high-throughput screening assays to identify antagonists for metabolic enzyme function (see D. Bennett et al., J Mol Recognition, 8:52-58 (1995); and K. Johanson et al., J Biol Chem, 270(16): 9459-9471 (1995)).

- the metabohc enzyme antagonist i.e., the metabohc enzyme antagonist is not included together with the drag in question.
- Such a pharmaceutical composition has significant advantages in that it provides a greater flexibility. For example, plaques of psoriasis are more resistant to therapy on certain parts of the body such as the knees and elbows. In these areas, the strength of formulation (i.e., the amount of metabohc enzyme antagonist in the composition), or the frequency of application may be increased. Having a separate formulation from the drag in question aUows the flexibility in dosage and administration to be achieved.
- a formulation comprising the drug in question (for example, a vitamin D analogue for use in treating psoriasis) alone may be used as a first line therapy.

- they can include diluents or excipients such as fillers, binders, wetting agents, disintegrators, surface- active agents, lubricants and the like.
- the carrier is a solid, a liquid or a vaporizable carrier, or a combination thereof.
- Each carrier should be "acceptable” in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients in the formulation and not injurious to the patient.
- the carrier should be biologicaUy acceptable without eliciting an adverse reaction (e.g. immune response) when administered to the host.
- compositions include those suitable for topical and oral administration, with topical formulations being preferred where the tissue affected is primarily the skin or epidermis (for example, psoriasis and other epidermal diseases).

- chronic skin proliferation disease is treated with hydrating preparations. Soaks are the easiest method of drying acute moist eruptions.
- Lotions are ideal for hairy and intertriginous areas.
- Ointments or water-in-oil emulsions are the most effective hydrating agents, appropriate for dry scaly eruptions, but are greasy and depending upon the site of the lesion sometimes undesirable. As appropriate, they can be applied in combination with a bandage, particularly when it is desirable to increase penetration of the agent composition into a lesion.
- Creams or oU-in-water emulsions and gels are absorbable and are the most cosmetically acceptable to the patient. (Guzzo et al, in Goodman & Oilman's Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th Ed., p.
- Cream formulations generaUy include components such as petroleum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, mineral oU, glycerin, isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl stearate, cetearyl alcohol, tocopheryl acetate, isopropyl myristate, lanolin alcohol, simethicone, carbomen, methylchlorisothiazolinone, methyhsothiazolinone, cyclomethicone and hydroxypropyl methylceUulose, as weU as mixtures thereof.
- compositions for topical application include shampoos, soaps, shake lotions, and the like, particularly those formulated to leave a residue on the underlying skin, such as the scalp (Arndt et al, in Dermatology In General Medicine 2:2838 (1993)).
- the concentration of the agent composition in the topical formulation is in an amount of about 0.5 to 50% by weight of the composition, preferably about 1 to 30%, more preferably about 2-20%, and most preferably about 5-10%.
- the concentration used can be in the upper portion of the range initiaUy, as treatment continues, the concentration can be lowered or the application of the formulation may be less frequent.
- Topical applications are often apphed twice daily. However, once-daily application of a larger dose or more frequent applications of a smaUer dose may be effective.
- the stratum comeum may act as a reservoir and aUow gradual penetration of a drug into the viable skin layers over a prolonged period of time.
- a sufficient amount of agent must penetrate a patient's skin in order to obtain a desired pharmacological effect. It is generally understood that the abso ⁇ tion of drug into the skin is a function of the nature of the drug, the behaviour of the vehicle, and the skin. Three major variables account for differences in the rate of abso ⁇ tion or flux of different topical drugs or the same drag in different vehicles; the concentration of drug in the vehicle, the partition coefficient of drug between the stratum comeum and the vehicle and the diffusion coefficient of drag in the stratum comeum. To be effective for treatment, a drug must cross the stratum comeum which is responsible for the barrier function of the skin. In general, a topical formulation which exerts a high in vitro skin penetration is effective in vivo. Ostrenga et al (J. Pharm. Sci., 60: 1175-1179 (1971) demonstrated that in vivo efficacy of topicaUy applied steroids was proportional to the steroid penetration rate into dermatomed human skin in vitro.
- a skin penetration enhancer which is dermatologically acceptable and compatible with the agent can be inco ⁇ orated into the formulation to increase the penetration of the active compound(s) from the skin surface into epidemal keratinocytes.
- a skin enhancer which increases the abso ⁇ tion of the active compound(s) into the skin reduces the amount of agent needed for an effective treatment and provides for a longer lasting effect of the formulation.
- Skin penetration enhancers are weU known in the art. For example, dimethyl sulfoxide (U.S. Pat. No. 3,711,602); oleic acid, 1,2-butanediol surfactant (Cooper, J. Pharm.
- Te ⁇ enes such as 1,8-cineole, menthone, limonene and nerohdol (Yamane, J. Pharmacy & Pharmocology, 47:978-989 (1995)); Azone.RTM. and Transcutol (Harrison et al, Pharmaceutical Res. 13:542-546 (1996)); and oleic acid, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol (Singh et al, Pharmazie, 51:741-744 (1996)) are known to improve skin penetration of an active ingredient. Transferosomes (as described above) may also be used.
- Levels of penetration of an agent or composition can be determined by techniques known to those of skiU in the art. For example, radiolabeling of the active compound, foUowed by measurement of the amount of radiolabeled compound absorbed by the skin enables one of skiU in the art to determine levels of the composition absorbed using any of several methods of deterrnining skin penetration of the test compound. Publications relating to skin penetration studies include Reinfenrath, W G and G S Hawkins. The Weaning Buffalo Pig as an Animal Model for Measuring Percutaneous Penetration. ImSwine in Biomedical Research (M. E.

- Skin irritation is a facet of tachyphylaxis and the expression of irritation markers such as ILl- ⁇ ; IL-6; IL-8; TNF- ⁇ ; GM-CSF; TGF- ⁇ is examined by RT-PCR as above.
- vitamin D analogue-catabohzing enzymes are up-regulated by vitamin D analogue tieatment (see Examples above).
- SE cultured in the continuous presence of vitamin D analogues respond to the hype ⁇ roliferative challenge by increased expression of the proliferation markers Cyclin-A, K5, K6, K14, MDM2 and decreased expression of the differentiation markers Involucrine, Kl, K10. This demonstiates that the antiprohferative effect of the vilamin D analogues is blunted by a tachyphylactic response, up-regulation of vitamin D analogue-cat ⁇ bolizing CYP's.
- the response to the hype ⁇ rohferative chaUenge is abohshed when CYP inhibitors) are co-administered with the vitamin D analogues.

- Primers designed to amplify mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) target genes are also designed against the foUowing: Channel-inducing factor (Brennan FE. FuUer PJ. Endocrinology. 140(3): 1213-8, 1999 Mar.), Alpha 3-subunit isoform of Na(+)-K(+)- adenosinetriphosphatase (Farman N. Bonvalet JP. Seckl JR. American Journal of Physiology. 266(2 Pt l):C423-8, 1994 Feb.) Seifrie-threonine kinase SGK (Pearce D. Ve ⁇ ey F. Chen SY. Mastioberardrno L. Meijer OC. Wang J. Bhargava A. Kidney International. 57(4): 1283-9, 2000 Apr.)
- Skin irritation is a facet of tachyphylaxis and the expression of irritation markers such as ILl- ⁇ ; IL-6; IL-8; TNF- ⁇ ; GM-CSF; TGF- ⁇ are examined by RT-PCR as above.
- corticosteroid- catabolizing enzymes are up-regulated by corticosteroid treatment (see above).
- SE cultured in the continuos presence of corticosteroids responds to the hype ⁇ roliferative chaUenge by increased expression of the proliferation markers Cyclin-A, K5, K6, K14, MDM2 and decreased expression of the differentiation markers Involucrine, Kl, K10 demonstrating that the antiprohferative effect of the corticosteroids is blunted by a tachyphylactic response, up-regulation of corticosteroid-catabolizing CYP's.
- the response to the hype ⁇ rohferative chaUenge is abohshed when CYP inhibitors) are co-a ⁇ rninistered with the corticosteroids.
- the expression of the glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptors are not down-regulated by the corticosteroid or CYP-inhibitor tieatment. This demonstiates that tachyphylaxis to corticosteroids can be abolished by CYP inhibitors adjunct to the corticosteroid regime.
- continuous corticosteroid treatment resulted in up-regulation of ILl- ⁇ ; IL- 6; IL-8; TNF- ⁇ ; GM-CSF; TGF- ⁇ , markers of skin irritation.
- This example shows the reduction/aUeviation of tachyphylaxis to macrolactams by co- treatment with inhibitors of the catabolic enzyme(s) in organotypic skin equivalents (SE).
- SE organotypic skin equivalents
- SE cultures are tieated with vehicle with or without macrolactams or an inhibitor of CYPIAI, CYP1A2, CYP24, CYP26, CP27A1, CYP27B1, CYP2A6, CYP2B4, CYP2C3, CYP2C8, CYP2C9, CYP2D6, CYP2E1, CYP2E2, CYP3A4, CYP3A5, CYP3A6 and CYP3G1 for 7 days as in Example 2 above.
- the SE cultures are challenged on day 5 with hype ⁇ roliferative stimuh by adding 1 ⁇ M retinoic acid or nothing (control) to the media.
- the SE cultures are maintained for 2 more day before analysis.
- Markers of keratinocyte prohferation and differentiation are examined by semi- quantitative RT-PCR on the isolated RNA using PCR primers specific for Cyclin-A, Involucrine, Kl, K5, K6, K10, K14, MDM2 essentially as for the CYP's above.
- Skin irritation is a facet of tachyphylaxis and the expression of irritation markers such as ILl- ⁇ ; IL-6; IL-8; TNF- ⁇ ; GM- CSF; TGF- ⁇ are examined by RT-PCR as above.
- the macrolactam -catabolizing enzyme CYPIAI is up-regulated by macrolactam tieatment (see above).
- SE cultured in the continuous presence of macrolactams responded to the hype ⁇ roliferative challenge by increased expression of the proliferation markers Cyclin-A, K5, K6, Kl 4, MDM2 and decreased expression of the differentiation markers Involucrine, Kl , Kl 0 demonstrating that the antiprohferative effect of the macrolactam's is blunted by a tachyphylactic response, up-regulation of macrolactam-catabolizing CYP's.
- Nude mice are topically exposed to vitamin D analogue, corticosteroid or Macrolactam for 6 weeks (42 days) aUowing suitable induction of metabohc enzymes as determined in the Examples above. Induction of enzymes and irritant response to treatment is compared with a group of mice similarly exposed but co-administered with the enzyme inhibitor determined in the relevant above examples.
- Ajnirnals exposed to both drag and adjunct enzyme inhibitor show a persistent clinical response to drug treatment with lower associated irritancy and no tachyphylactic response as compared to animals tieated with drug alone.
- vitamin D analogue-catabolizing enzymes CYP24 and CYP2E1 are upregulated by vitamin D analogue treatment.
- Nude mice treated with vitamin D analogues have significantly higher expression of proliferation markers Cyclin-A, K5, K6, K14, MDM2 and decreased expression of the differentiation markers Involucrine, Kl, K10 compared to nude mice treated with both vitamin D analogs and CYP inhibitor.
- This demonstrates that the antiprohferative effect of the vitamin D analogues is blunted by a tachyphylactic response, up-regulation of vitamin D analogue- catabolizing CYP's.
- the expression of the vitamin D receptor is not down-regulated by the vitamin D analogue or CYP-inhibitor treatment as compared to vehicle treatment. This demonstrates that tachyphylaxis to vitamin D analogues can be abohshed by CYP inhibitors adjunct to the vitamin D analogue regime. Furthermore, continuous vitamin D analogue tieatment results in upregulation of ILl- ⁇ ; IL-6; IL-8; TNF- ⁇ ; GM-CSF; TGF- ⁇ , markers of skin irritation. This response is diminished by co-administration of CYP inhibitors with the vitamin D analogues.
- nude mice exposed to both vitamin D analogue and adjunct enzyme inhibitor are found to show a persistent anti-proliferative and pro-differentiation response to vitamin D analogue treatment with lower associated irritancy and no tachyphylactic response.
- the mouse taU model is a mo ⁇ hometiy-based, sensitive and reproducible method for the quantitative evaluation of the effects of drugs on epithehal differentiation and induction of orthokeratosis.
- Orthokeratosis is determined by measuring the horizontal length of the fully developed granular layer within an individual scale in relation to its total length. (Sebok B, et al., Skin Pharmacol. Appl. Skin Physiol. 13:285-91, 2000) Mice are topically exposed to vitamin D analogue, Corticosteroids or Macrolactams for n-days with and without the CYP inhibitors.
- mice are topically exposed to vitamin D analogue, Corticosteroids or Macrolactams for 14 days with and without the CYP inhibitors according to the foUowing protocol: 1. Vehicle alone, 2. 50mg/g ointment Calcipotriol, 3.40mg/g ointment Tacalcitol, 4. 50mg/g ointment Calcipotriol + 1% ketoconazole, 5. 40mg/g ointment Tacalcitol + 1% ketoconazole, 6. 1% ketoconazole, 7. 0.05% Clobetasol ointment, 8. 0.1% Dexamethasone ointment, 9. 0.05% Clobetasol ointment + 1% ketoconazole, 10.
- Mouse tails exposed to both vitamin D analogs, corticosteroids or macrolactams and adjunct enzyme inhibitor are found to show an enhanced epithehal differentiation and orthokeratotic response with lower associated irritancy and no tachyphylactic response as compared to mouse taUs tieated with drug alone.
- Mouse taUs treated with inhibitor alone show enhanced epithehal differentiation and orthokeratotic response compared to vehicle reated mouse taUs. This response is potentiated by an 25(OH)D 3 enriched diet.
- Human normal primary keratinocyte and human psoriatic keratinocytes are cultured in defined media (retinoid and vitamin D free) in 0.1 or 1.2 mM CaCt in the presence or absence of 0.5 micromolar 25(OH)D 3 and in the presence or absence of 10 microM ketoconazole.
- RT-PCR of differentiation markers is carried out as described above, and induction of the differentiation markers in ketocaonazole treated cells is observed.
- the concentration of l,25(OH) 2 D 3 in the media is examined and found to be elevated in the presence of the inhibitors).
- addition of 0.5 micromolar 25(OH)D 3 is found to elevate the expression of the differentiation markers, as well as the concentration of 1 ,25(OH) 2 D 3 in the media.
- the Figure shows the results of RT-PCR performed on normal human keratinocytes cultured in the presence of calcitriol with or without out ketoconazole and CYP24 inhibitors (Compounds A-C).
- PCR scans for CYP24 and Kl show that inhibition of CYP24 causes an upregulation in mRNA levels of CYP24 and an upregulation in mRNA for the differentiation marker Kl .
- a tachyphylactic response could be prevented by inhibition of CYP24.
- a CYP24-specific inhibitor (and or 1% ketoconazole) is tested in the mouse-tail test.
- the inhibitor is rubbed onto the taU in a dermatologicaUy suitable inert vehicle in the presence or absence of feeding on a 25(OH)D 3 enriched diet.
