Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a method of enhancing cognition in a healthy subject comprising administering a safe cognition enhancing amount of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor.
  • this invention is directed to a method of enhancing memory, learning, retention, recall, awareness and judgement in health subjects comprising administering a safe and effective amount of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor.
  • Hormones are compounds that variously affect cellular activity. In many respects, hormones act as messengers to trigger specific cellular responses and activities. Many effects produced by hormones, however, are not caused by the singular effect of just the hormone. Instead, the hormone first binds to a receptor, thereby triggering the release of a second compound that goes on to affect the cellular activity. In this scenario, the hormone is known as the first messenger while the second compound is called the second messenger.
  • Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate, "cAMP” or “cyclic AMP”) is known as a second messenger for hormones including epinephrine, glucagon, calcitonin, corticotrophin, lipotropin, luteinizing hormone, norepinephrine, parathyroid hormone, thyroid- stimulating hormone, and vasopressin.
  • cAMP mediates cellular responses to hormones.
  • Cyclic AMP also mediates cellular responses to various neurotransmitters.
  • Phosphodiesterases are a family of enzymes that metabolize 3', 5' cyclic nucleotides to 5' nucleoside monophosphates, thereby terminating cAMP second messenger activity.
  • PDE4 is known to exist as at lease four isoenzymes, each of which is encoded by a distinct gene. Each of the four known PDE4 gene products is believed to play varying roles in allergic and/or inflammatory responses.
  • PDE4 inhibition can beneficially affect allergy and inflammation symptoms. It would be desirable to provide novel compounds and compositions that inhibit PDE4 activity.
  • a major concern with the use of PDE4 inhibitors is the side effect of emesis which has been observed for several candidate compounds as described in C.Burnouf et al., ("Burnouf '), Ann. Rep.

RELATED BACKGROUND
Hormones are compounds that variously affect cellular activity. In many respects, hormones act as messengers to trigger specific cellular responses and activities. Many effects produced by hormones, however, are not caused by the singular effect of just the hormone. Instead, the hormone first binds to a receptor, thereby triggering the release of a second compound that goes on to affect the cellular activity. In this scenario, the hormone is known as the first messenger while the second compound is called the second messenger. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate, "cAMP" or "cyclic AMP") is known as a second messenger for hormones including epinephrine, glucagon, calcitonin, corticotrophin, lipotropin, luteinizing hormone, norepinephrine, parathyroid hormone, thyroid- stimulating hormone, and vasopressin. Thus, cAMP mediates cellular responses to hormones. Cyclic AMP also mediates cellular responses to various neurotransmitters.
Phosphodiesterases ("PDE") are a family of enzymes that metabolize 3', 5' cyclic nucleotides to 5' nucleoside monophosphates, thereby terminating cAMP second messenger activity. A particular phosphodiesterase, phosphodiesterase-4 ("PDE4", also known as "PDE- IV"), which is a high affinity, cAMP specific, type IV PDE, has generated interest as potential targets for the development of novel anti-asthmatic and anti-inflammatory compounds. PDE4 is known to exist as at lease four isoenzymes, each of which is encoded by a distinct gene. Each of the four known PDE4 gene products is believed to play varying roles in allergic and/or inflammatory responses. Thus, it is believed that inhibition of PDE4, particularly the specific PDE4 isoforms that produce detrimental responses, can beneficially affect allergy and inflammation symptoms. It would be desirable to provide novel compounds and compositions that inhibit PDE4 activity. A major concern with the use of PDE4 inhibitors is the side effect of emesis which has been observed for several candidate compounds as described in C.Burnouf et al., ("Burnouf '), Ann. Rep. In Med. Chem., 33:91-109(1998). B.Hughes et al., Br. J.Pharmacol., 118:1183-1191(1996); M .Perry et al., Cell Biochem. Biophys., 29:113-132(1998); S.B.Christensen et al., J.Med. Chem., 41:821-835(1998); and Burnouf describe the wide variation of the severity of the undesirable side effects exhibited by various compounds. As described in M.D.Houslay et al., Adv. In Pharmacol, 44:225-342(1998) and D.Spina et al., Adv. In Pharmacol., 44:33-89(1998), there is great interest and research of therapeutic PDE4 inhibitors.

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
Compounds X, Y and Z may be prepared as disclosed in US 5,552,438, US 5,712,298 and US 6,448,274, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
As mentioned above, the present invention is directed to a method of enhancing cognition in a healthy subject comprising administering a safe cognition enhancing amount of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. In particular, this invention is directed to a method of enhancing memory, learning, retention, recall, awareness and judgement in health subjects comprising administering a safe and cognition enhancing amount of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor. Within this aspect there is a method of enhancing cognition in a healthy subject comprising administering a safe, non-emetic, cognition enhancing amount of a phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor.
For purposes of this application is defined as a subject with cognition in the normal range for the subjects age or other classification. Cognition of a healthy subject as well as cognition enhancement of the healthy subject is illustrated shown by testing the compounds in the Morris water maze as reported by McNamara and Skelton, Psychobiology, 1993, 21, 101-
108. Further details of relevant methodology are described in WO 96/25948. Other assessments for measuring cognition enhancement include, but are not limited to the "T" Maze Test; Radial Arm Maze Test; Delayed Non-Match or Delayed Match Test; Passive Avoidance Procedure; 5 Choice Test, disclosed in WO 01/87281 A2, published November 22. 2001.
For purposes of this specification, classes of healthy subjects includes juveniles, adults and seniors of average cognition; juveniles, adults and seniors of above average cognition; and juveniles, adults and seniors of below average cognition.
For purposes of this specification, juvenile human subjects is defined as a human subject less than 18 years of age. For purposes of this specification, adult human subject is defined as a human subject 18 years of age or older. Within this classification is a human adult 18 to 40 years of age. For purposes of this specification, senior human subjects is defined as a human subject 40 years of age or older. Within this classification is a human subject 55 years of age or older; 65 years of age or older; and 70 years of age or older. As appreciated by those of skill in the art, beginning at about age 25, the cognition of the healthy human declines at a measurable and reproducible rates, as for example, measured by CAmbridge Neuropsychological Test Automated -Sattery (CANTAB, de Jager CA, Milwain E, Budge M. Early detection of isolated memory deficits in the elderly: the need for more sensitive neuropsychological tests. Psychol Med 2002 Apr;32(3):483-91) or the Cognitive Drug Reseach Battery (CDR, Barker A, Jones R, Simpson P, Wesnes K. (1995). Scopolamine induced cognitive impairment as a predictor of cognitive decline in healthy elderly volunteers. International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry 10: 1059-1062). Thus, by the time a human subject becomes a senior 40 years of age the decline in cognitive function has declined significant and would benefit from a method of memory enhancement.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for parenteral administration may be prepared as solutions or suspensions of the active compounds in water. A suitable surfactant can be included such as, for example, hydroxypropylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and mixtures thereof in oils. Further, a preservative can be included to prevent the detrimental growth of microorganisms.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions. Furthermore, the compositions can be in the form of sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of such sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the final injectable form must be sterile and must be effectively fluid for easy syringability. The pharmaceutical compositions must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage; thus, preferably should be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g. glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), vegetable oils, and suitable mixtures thereof.
Pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be in a form suitable for topical use such as, for example, an aerosol, cream, ointment, lotion, dusting powder, or the like. Further, the compositions can be in a form suitable for use in transdermal devices. These formulations may be prepared, utilizing a compound of this invention, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, via conventional processing methods. As an example, a cream or ointment is prepared by mixing hydrophilic material and water, together with about 5wt% to about 10wt% of the compound, to produce a cream or ointment having a desired consistency.
Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention can be in a form suitable for rectal administration wherein the carrier is a solid. It is preferable that the mixture forms unit dose suppositories. Suitable carriers include cocoa butter and other materials commonly used in the art.

ASSAYS DEMONSTRATING BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY
LPS AND FMLP-INDUCED TNF-α AND LTB4 ASSAYS IN HUMAN WHOLE BLOOD Whole blood provides a protein and cell-rich milieu appropriate for the study of biochemical efficacy of anti-inflammatory compounds such as PDE4-selective inhibitors. Normal non-stimulated human blood does not contain detectable levels of TNF-α and LTB4.
Upon stimulation with LPS, activated monocytes express and secrete TNF-α up to 8 hours and plasma levels remain stable for 24 hours. Published studies have shown that inhibition of TNF-α by increasing intracellular cAMP via PDE4 inhibition and/or enhanced adenylyl cyclase activity occurs at the transcriptional level. LTB4 synthesis is also sensitive to levels of intracellular cAMP and can be completely inhibited by PDE4-selective inhibitors. As there is little LTB4 produced during a 24 hour LPS stimulation of whole blood, an additional LPS stimulation followed by fMLP challenge of human whole blood is necessary for LTB4 synthesis by activated neutrophils. Thus, by using the same blood sample, it is possible to evaluate the potency of a compound on two surrogate markers of PDE4 activity in the whole blood by the following procedure. Fresh blood was collected in heparinized tubes by venipuncture from healthy human volunteers (male and female). These subjects had no apparent inflammatory conditions and had not taken any NSAIDs for at least 4 days prior to blood collection. 500μL aliquots of blood were pre-incubated with either 2μL of vehicle (DMSO) or 2μL of test compound at varying concentrations for 15 minutes at 37°C. This was followed by the addition of either lOμL vehicle (PBS) as blanks or lOμL LPS (lμg/mL final concentration, #L-2630 (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO) from E. coli, serotype 0111:B4; diluted in 0.1% w/v BSA (in PBS)). After 24 hours of incubation at 37°C, another lOμL of PBS (blank) or lOμL of LPS (lμg/mL final concentration) was added to blood and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The blood was then challenged with either lOμL of PBS (blank) or lOμL of fMLP (lμM final concentration, #F-3506 (Sigma); diluted in 1% w/v BSA (in PBS)) for 15 minutes at 37°C. The blood samples were centrifuged at 1500xg for 10 minutes at 4°C to obtain plasma. A 50μL aliquot of plasma was mixed with 200μL methanol for protein precipitation and centrifuged as above. The supernatant was assayed for LTB4 using an enzyme immunoassay kit (#520111 from Cayman Chemical Co., Ann Arbor, MI) according to the manufacturer's procedure. TNF-α was assayed in diluted plasma (in PBS) using an ΕLISA kit (Cistron Biotechnology, Pine Brook, NJ) according to manufacturer's procedure. IC50 values should be less than about 5μM, advantageously less than about 2.5μM. The IC50 values of Examples 1 to 33 ranged from O.OlμM to 2.4μM.
ANTI- ALLERGIC ACTIVITY 7N VIVO
Compounds of the invention have been tested for effects on an IgE-mediated allergic pulmonary inflammation induced by inhalation of antigen by sensitized guinea pigs. Guinea pigs were initially sensitized to ovalbumin under mild cyclophosphamide-induced immunosuppression, by intraperitoneal injection of antigen in combinations with aluminum hydroxide and pertussis vaccine. Booster doses of antigen were given two and four weeks later. At six weeks, animals were challenged with aerosolized ovalbumin while under cover of an intraperitoneally administered anti-histamine agent (mepyramine). After a further 48h, bronchial alveolar lavages (BAL) were performed and the numbers of eosinophils and other leukocytes in the BAL fluids were counted. The lungs were also removed for histological examination for inflammatory damage. Administration of compounds of the Examples (0.001-lOmg kg i.p. or p.o.), up to three times during the 48h following antigen challenge, lead to a significant reduction in the eosinophilia and the accumulation of other inflammatory leukocytes. SPA BASED PDE ACTIVITY ASSAY PROTOCOL Compounds which inhibit the hydrolysis of cAMP to AMP by the type-JN cAMP- specific phosphodiesterases were screened in a 96-well plate format as follows:
In a 96 well-plate at 30°C the test compound was added (dissolved in 2μL DMSO), 188μL of substrate buffer containing [2,8- H] adenosine 3 ',5 '-cyclic phosphate
(cAMP, lOOnM to 50μM), lOmM MgCl2, ImM EDTA, 50mM Tris, pH 7.5. The reaction was initiated by the addition of human recombinant PDE4 (the amount was controlled so that -10% product was formed in lOmin.). The reaction was stopped after lOmin. by the addition of lmg of PDE-SPA beads (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, Inc., Piscataway, ΝJ). The product AMP generated was quantified on a Wallac Microbeta® 96-well plate counter (EG&G Wallac Co., Gaithersburg, MD). The signal in the absence of enzyme was defined as the background. 100% activity was defined as the signal detected in the presence of enzyme and DMSO with the background subtracted. Percentage of inhibition was calculated accordingly. IC50 value was approximated with a non-linear regression fit using the standard 4-parameter/multiple binding sites equation from a ten point titration.
The IC50 values of Examples 1 to 33 were determined with lOOnM cAMP using the purified GST fusion protein of the human recombinant phosphodiesterase -Na (met-248) produced from a baculovirus/Sf-9 expression system. IC50 values should be less than about lOOOnM, advantageously less than about 250nM, and even more advantageously less than about lOOnM. The IC50 values of Examples 1 to 33 ranged from O.lnM to 90.0nM.
The Examples that follow are intended as an illustration of certain preferred embodiments of the invention and no limitation of the invention is implied.
