Definitions
- This invention relates to methods of treatment and inhibition of neurodegenerative disorders in a mammal by administering therapeutic amounts of catalysts for the dismutation of superoxide to the mammal. Also provided are pharmaceutical compositions comprising catalysts for the dismutation of superoxide for use in these methods.
- Neurodegenerative diseases include Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. Most of the diseases are typified by onset during the middle adult years and lead to rapid degeneration of specific subsets of neurons within the neural system, ultimately resulting in premature death. There is no known cure for any of the stated diseases.
- Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disorder which appears in mid to late life. Familial and sporadic cases occur, although familial cases account for only 1-2 percent of the observed cases. The neurological changes which cause this disease are somewhat variable and not fully understood. Patients frequently have nerve cell loss with reactive gliosis and Lewy bodies in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus of the brain stem. Similar changes are observed in the nucleus basalis of Meynert. As a class, the nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons seem to be most affected.
- Parkinson's Disease is a degenerative disease of the nervous system which affects one person in fifty over fifty years of age and one person in twenty over seventy years of age, without gender or social bias. Described by James Parkinson in 1817,the shaking palsy is comprised of a triad of tremor at rest, muscular rigidity and slowness of movement. Accurate description of the disease during the period of the Industrial Revolution has prompted people to speculate that environmental exposure to toxic chemicals precipitates the disease. Exposure to manganese precipitated a Parkinsonian syndrome in miners which also includes schizophreniform behaviors. Some epidemiologic studies have found association between industrial exposure to copper, manganese and copper simultaneously with iron and the incidence of Parkinson's disease, Gorell J.
- Xenobiotics natural and man made insecticides have also been suggested as candidate agents because they precipitate on occasion motor disturbances in animals and man somewhat akin to Parkinsonism.
- both inorganic and organic chemicals may contribute to the toxicity mechanism.
- the disease is progressive though not in all cases. Dementia with Alzheimer type pathological changes follows but does not precede the development of Parkinson's Disease in about one quarter of diagnosed cases.
- Parkinson's Disease progresses to differing extents in different patients, most commonly over a seven to ten year timeframe from the time of diagnosis. Some patients experience generalized wasting and anorexia, depression and mental changes frequently occur. Approximately one quarter develop Alzheimer type clinical changes in cognitive functioning and measurable Alzheimer pathological changes occur in up to forty percent of cases.
- gliosis which retards neuronal growth in the brain. Renkawek et al., "Dementia, Gliosis and Expression of the Small Heat Shock Proteins hsp27 and alpha B-crystallin in Parkinson 's Disease " Neuroreport 1999 Aug 2; 10(11):2273-6. Gliosis is a process in which astrocytes form glial scars in the central nervous system. Since minimizing gliosis can both facilitate neuronal regeneration, there is a need for treatments which inhibit gliosis.
- Parkinson's disease generally develops asymmetrically with tremors in one hand o: leg and progresses into symmetrical loss of voluntary movement. Eventually, the patient becomes incapacitated by rigidity and tremors. In the advanced stages the disease is frequently accompanied by dementia. Diagnosis of Parkinson's disease can only be made after the onset of the disease.
- Anticholinergic compounds, propranolol, primidone and levodopa are frequently administered to modify neural transmissions and thereby suppress the symptoms of the disease, though there is no known therapy which halts or slows the underlying progression. Deprenyl has shown some therapeutic promise. Clinical and experimental reports have increased interest in the possibility that environmental chemicals, including herbicides, may be related to the development of Parkinson's disease. See Thiruchelvam M. et al, Brain Res, 873(2), 225-34 (Aug 11, 2000); Liou H.H. et al, Neurology, 48(6), 1583-1588 (Jun 1997).
- ROS reactive oxygen species
- the herbicide called paraquat is structurally similar to MPP+, and both seem to exert their toxic effects by interfering with the first step of electron transport chain of mitochondria, thus blocking respiration and killing the cells.
- Iannone et al. "Intra-nigral infusion ofCu-Free Superoxide Dismutase Prevents Paraquat- Induced Behavioural Stimulation and ECoG Epileptogenic Discharges in Rats " Neuropharm. 30, No. 8 893-898 (1991).
- the hypothesized mechanisms for the neurotoxic effects of these herbicides further involves an impairment of energy metabolism followed by increased free radical generation.
- This reaction is catalyzed in vitro by the ubiquitous superoxide dismutase enzymes.
- a particularly effective family of non-peptidic catalysts for the dismutation of superoxide consists of the manganese(II), manganese(III), iron(II) or iron(III) complexes of nitrogen- containing fifteen-membered macrocyclic ligands which catalyze the conversion of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide, as described in U.S. Patents Nos. 5,874,421 and 5,637,578, all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- non-peptidic catalysts which have been shown to have superoxide dismutating activity are the salen-transition metal cation complexes, as described in U.S. Patent No. 5,696,109 and complexes of porphyrins with iron and manganese cations.
- BBB blood-brain barrier
- CNS central nervous system
- the blood-brain barrier which consists of the endothelium of the brain vessels, the basal membrane and neuroglial cells, acts to limit penetration of substances into the brain.
- the structure of the BBB is subdivided into two components: the endothelial or capillary barrier and the ependymal barrier Banks, W. A., Kastin, A. J., Barrera, "Delivering peptides to the central nervous system: Dilemmas and strategies," Pharm. Res. 8:1345-1350(1991).

- Preferred catalysts include a small molecular weight organic ligand mimics of the superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD mimetics or SODms).
- a basis for the present invention is the finding that treatment with a catalyst for the dismutation of superoxide inhibits the progression and initiation of neurodegenerative diseases. It is believed that such neurodegenerative diseases result, in whole or in part, from oxidative stress mediated by overproduction of superoxide anions. See Bogdanov et al., "Increased Oxidative Damage to DNA in ALS Patients " Free Radic Biol Med 2000 Oct. l;29(7):652-8; Olanow, C. W., "An Introduction to the Free Radical Hypothesis in Parkinson 's Disease” Annals of Neurology 32: 52-59 (1992); Albers et al., "Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in aging and neurodegenerative disease " J.

- the term may include catalysts containing short-chain polypeptides (under 15 amino acids), or macrocyclic structures derived from amino acids, as the organic ligand.
- SOD mimics are useful in the method of the present invention as compared to native SOD because of the limitations associated with native SOD therapies such as, solution instability, limited cellular accessibility due to their size, immunogenicity, bell-shaped dose response curves, short half-lives, costs of production, and proteolytic digestion (Salvemini et al, (1999) Science 286: 304-306).
- native SOD CuZn
- SOD mimics have an approximate molecular weight of 500 to 600 kD.
- the compounds employed in the method of the invention must be able to efficiently cross the blood brain barrier to penetrate the cerebral cavity in order to cause the dismutation of superoxide anions. Therefore, the smaller size exhibited by the SOD mimics is particularly advantageous for the present invention because it facilitates passage of the compound through the blood brain barrier and into the cerebral cavity.
- the SOD mimics utilized in the present invention comprise an organic ligand chelated to a metal ion.
- Particularly preferred catalysts are pentaaza-macrocyclic ligand compounds, more specifically the manganese(II), manganese (III), iron(II) and iron(III) chelates of pentaazacyclopentadecane compounds.
- the pentaaza macrocyclic ligand complexes of Mn(II) are particularly advantageous for use in the present invention because, in addition to a low molecular weight, they are highly selective for the dismutation of super oxide anions and possess catalytic rates similar or faster than native SOD counterparts.
- An example of this class of SOD mimic, M40401 is set forth in the examples below.

- Such dosage forms may also comprise, as in normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e.g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate.
- the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.
- Liquid dosage forms for oral administration may include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such compositions may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
- adjuvants such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.
- the amount of active ingredient that may be combined with the carrier materials to produce a single dosage form will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration. It will be appreciated that the unit content of active ingredients contained in an individual dose of each dosage form need not in itself constitute an effective amount, as the necessary effective amount could be reached by administration of a number of individual doses. The selection of dosage depends upon the dosage form utilized, the condition being treated, and the particular purpose to be achieved according to the determination of those skilled in the art.
- the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors, including the type, age, weight, sex, diet and medical condition of the patient, the route of administration, pharmacological considerations such as the activity, efficacy, pharmacokinetic and toxicology profiles of the particular compound employed, whether a drug delivery system is utilized and whether the compound is administered as part of a drug combination.
- the dosage regimen actually employed may vary widely and therefore may deviate from the preferred dosage regimen set forth above.
- compositions of the present invention are preferably administered to a human.
- these extracts are also useful for veterinary treatment of companion animals, exotic animals and farm animals, including mammals, rodents, avians, and the like. More preferred animals include horses, dogs, cats, sheep, and pigs.
