Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of 8-(aminoalkoxyimino)-8H- dibenzo[a,e]triazolo[4,5-c]cycloheptenes as growth hormone secretagogues. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating or preventing diseases or conditions caused by deficiencies in growth hormone by administering to a mammal a 8-
  • Growth hormone a hormone that is both produced by and secreted from the pituitary gland, stimulates growth of all tissues in the body that are capable of growing.
  • Deficiencies in growth hormone can result in various diseases and conditions, such as osteoporosis, obesity, growth retardation, skeletal displasia, etc. In children, it causes growth retardation or dwarfism. In adults, the consequences of growth hormone deficiency can include reduction of lean body mass and concomitant increase in total body fat. The consequences of growth hormone deficiency in adults can further include decreased skeletal and muscle mass and decreased bone density. Administration of exogenous growth hormone has been shown to reduce or reverse the effects of such metabolic disturbances.
  • exogenous growth hormone has historically been administered.
  • the peptidyl nature of the compound required that it be administered by injection.
  • early sources of growth hormone included the pituitary glands of cadavers. This resulted in an expensive product that carried with it the risk of disease transmission (e.g., Creutzfel- acob disease).
  • Most deficiencies of growth hormone result from defects in release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland, however, and not from defects in the synthesis of growth hormone.
  • the release of growth hormone is controlled by a number of hormones and neurotransmitter systems in the brain, particularly the hypothalamus.
  • the release of growth hormone can be stimulated by growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF) and inhibited by somatostatin. In both the cases, the hormones are released from the hypothalamus, but the release of growth hormone itself is mediated primarily by specific receptors in the pituitary gland.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés relatifs au traitement ou à la prévention d'affections ou de maladies liées aux carences en hormone de croissance, consistant à administrer des 8-(aminoalcoxyimino)-8H-dibenzo[a,e]triazolo[4,5-c]cycloheptènes. Parmi les maladies ou affections visées, on peut citer les cas suivants: ostéoporose, ostéopénie et obésité. L'invention concerne également des procédés relatifs à la stimulation de la sécrétion de l'hormone de croissance chez un mammifère, par administration de 8-(aminoalcoxyimino)-8H-dibenzo[a,e]triazolo[4,5-c]cycloheptènes. Enfin, l'invention concerne la stimulation de la croissance osseuse chez un mammifère, en particulier la croissance osseuse du type endocortical, périostique ou spongieux, par administration de 8-(aminoalkoxyimino)-8H-dibenzo[a,e]triazolo[4,5-c]cycloheptènes.
