Description

STRAIGHT-CHAIN AND BRANCHED-CHAIN LIPID COMPOUNDS AS SELECTIVE INHIBITORS OF CYCLOOXYGENASE-2, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS, AND ANTI-CANCER AGENTS
This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 60/488,807, filed July 22, 2003, which application is hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention:
This invention is directed to a group of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, which are unique straight-chain or branched-chain lipid compounds. Those selective COX-2 inhibitors can be used as anti-inflammatory agents and cancer treatment and prevention drugs.
Description of the Background: A group of branched-chain lipids, which are specific iso- and anteiso- branched-chain fatty acids with significant anti-cancer effects, has been described in Applicant's U.S. patent No. 6,214,875. Such compounds as described in the above Applicant's U.S. patent, and derivatives thereof obtained by reacting the acid moiety thereof, are described in Applicant's U.S. Application 09/647,918, which is the application of PCT/US99/06525, filed on April 14, 1999, and which was published as WO 99/53086 on October 21, 1999, which WO 99/53086 is hereby incorporated by reference. Applicant's application PCT/USOl/00683, filed on February 7, 2001 and published as WO 01/59067 on August 16, 2001, described a group of anti-cancer compounds which are comprised of three parts: an end-terminal group, which is isopropyl, sec-butyl, or tert. -butyl group; a leading group; and a long-chain aliphatic, non-cyclic, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbon group that links the end-terminal group and the leading group. Such compounds were further illustrated by 9 typical structure formulae in Applicant's application PCT/US02/24296, filed on August 2, 2002 and published as WO 03/014296 on February 20, 2003. Both WO 01/59067 and WO 03/014296 are hereby incorporated by references. However, none of Applicant's previous patent and applications disclosed the present discovery that the derivatives of a branched-chain fatty amine or a branched-chain fatty amide selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) activity, in addition to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. For about two years, selective inhibitors of COX-2 have been hailed as powerful additions to the armamentarium of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Two so-called coxibs are now widely utilized clinically: rofecoxib (Vioxx, Merck) and celeoxib (Celebrex, Pfizer). Either old NSAID such as aspirin or new coxibs have some side effects, especially due to inhibition of COX-1. COX-2 is a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (such as PGE ) and other eicosanoids. This enzyme is expressed in a number of tumor cells. U.S. patent No. 6,486,204 (Waldstreicher, et al., Merck) disclosed treatment or prevention of prostate cancer using rofecoxib, a COX-2 selective inhibiting drug. This patent is hereby incorporated by reference. However, none of the above prior art recognizes the unique lipids chemically described as the derivatives of a branched-chain fatty amine or a branched-chain fatty amide, or their corresponding straight-chain analogs, as selective COX-2 inhibitors.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A group of selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, which are unique lipid compounds and expressed as the derivatives of branched or straight-chain, fatty amines or fatty amides, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. The use of those selective COX-2 inhibitors as anti-inflammatory agents and cancer treatment and prevention drugs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It should be presumed below that any differences between a chemical structure and its chemical name be resolved in favor of the chemical structure.

389.66, 292.39, 127.25, 56.09, 31.03. The inventor discovered that the compounds of the formula (1) - (12), which are the derivatives from branched-chain fatty amine or from branched-chain fatty amide, not only inhibit the growth of cancer cell lines, but also selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 activity. COX-2 is a key enzyme in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (such as PGE2) and other eicosanoids. In the present application, the measurement of changes of PGE2 production will be used to indicate the inhibition effects. This enzyme is expressed in a number of tumor cells. This enzymatic pathway for the metabolism of arachidonic acid is known to play important roles in inflammation, as well as the development of several types of cancers. Therefore, the present compounds as selective inhibitors of COX-2 can be used as anti-inflammatory agents, as well as to treat and prevent cancer, and can be present in pharmaceutical compositions in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier will be used. Since the compound selectively inhibits cycloxygenase-2, the invention encompasses a method of treating a patient for a cyclooxygenase mediated disease comprising administering to a patient in need of such treatment the present unique branched-chain lipid compounds in an amount which is effective for treating said cyclooxygenase mediated disease, such as osteoarthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis. The invention also encompasses a method of treating inflammation in a patient in need of such treatment comprising administering to said patient the present unique branched-chain lipid compounds in an amount effective for treating inflammation. The invention also encompasses a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound according to the invention in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. It is well known that either old NSAID such as aspirin or new coxibs have some side effects, especially due to inhibition of COX-1. The inventor found that the present compounds selectively inhibit COX-2, but do not inhibit COX-1 as shown in the Example below. A further understanding this invention can be obtained by reference to certain specific examples, which are provided herein for purpose of illustration only and not intended to be limiting unless otherwise specified. Since COX-2 as a key enzyme to convert arachidonic acid to PGE2, the inhibition effect of selective COX-2 inhibitor is measured through the metabolism product PGE2 in following examples.
Example 13: Present compounds selectively inhibited COX-2 activity measured by PGE2 production in human prostate cancer PC3 cells
Several compounds from among formulae (1) - (12) were tested to measure their effect on the formation of eicosanoids PGE2 in the human prostate cancer PC3 cells. In this example the tested compounds were listed as following: Sample #1 : N,N-di(2-amino ethyl)- 11-methyl-lauryl amine trihydrochloride Sample #2: N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride Sample #3: 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl -N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride Sample #4: 1N-(11-methyl lauryl)-2N-carboxymethyl hydrazine Sample #5: 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl guanidine hydrochloride. The PC3 cells (1 x 106) were plated in 100-mm tissue culture dishes overnight. On day 2, cells were treated with arachidonic acid (AA, 10 μM) as control or a combination of one of the samples above in different concentrations and AA for 2 hrs at 37°C. After 2 hrs, aliquots of the culture medium were taken, and eicosanoids were extracted. To quantify the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) products in cells, the traditional method of analysis with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used, using PGE2 as internal standard. The formation of PGE2 in PC3 cells treated with every sample was compared with that in untreated control cells separately, as shown in the Table 1 below.
Table 1, the inhibition effects of the compounds on formation of PGE2 (ng/ml) in PC3 cells
Figure imgf000022_0001
As seen in the Table 1, exposure of cells to compounds of the present invention reduced PGE concentrations, showing that N,N-di(2-amino ethyl)- 11-methyl-lauryl amine trihydrochloride, N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride, 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl-N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride, 1N-(11-methyl lauryl)-2N-carboxymethyl hydrazine, and 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl guanidine hydrochloride selectively inhibited COX-2 activity. This selective effect of the compounds on formation of PGE2 was concentration dependent in PC3 cells.
Example 14: Present compounds selectively inhibited COX-2 activity measured by PGE2 production in human hepatoma Hep3B cells
The compounds in Example 13 above were also tested to measure their effect on the formation of eicosanoids PGE2 in the human hepatoma Hep3B cells. In this example the tested compounds were listed as following: Sample #1: N,N-di(2-amino ethyl)- 11-methyl -lauryl amine trihydrochloride Sample #2: N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride Sample #3: 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl-N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride Sample #4: 1N-(11-methyl lauryl)-2N-carboxymethyl hydrazine Sample #5: 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl guanidine hydrochloride. The Hep3B cells (1 x 106) were seeded in 6-well plates overnight. On day 2, cells were treated with arachidonic acid (AA, 10 μM) as control or a combination of one of the samples above in different concentrations and AA for 6 hrs at 37°C. After 2 hrs, aliquots of the culture medium were taken, and eicosanoids were extracted. To quantify the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) products in cells, the traditional method of analysis with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) was used, using PGE2 as internal standard. The formation of PGE2 in Hep3B cells treated with every sample was compared with that in untreated control cells separately, as shown in the Table 2 below. Table 2, the inhibition effects of the compounds on formation of PGE2 (ng/ml) in Hep3B cells
Figure imgf000024_0001
As seen in the Table 2, exposure of cells to compounds of the present invention reduced PGE2 concentrations, showing that N,N-di(2-amino ethyl)- 11-methyl-lauryl amine trihydrochloride, N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride, 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl-N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride, 1N-(11-methyl lauryl)-2N-carboxymethyl hydrazine, and 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl guanidine hydrochloride selectively inhibited COX-2 activity. This selective effect of the compounds on formation of PGE2 was concentration dependent in Hep3B.
Example 15: N-(ll-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride selectively inhibited COX-2 activity, but not COX-1 activity measured by PGE2 production
To compare the inhibition effects of N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride (sample) compound on two cycloxygenase enzymes, ovine COX-1 and human recombinant COX-2 (5 units, Cayman Chemicals, MI) were tested. The enzymes were pre-incubated with the sample at concentrations 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 and 20.0 μg/ml, for 10 min. followed by further incubation with 50 μM of arachidonic acid (AA) for 5 min at 37°C. The reaction was stopped by adding 1 N citric acid. Prior to extraction, 0.1 % BHT and PGE2-d4 were added and PGE2 was extracted and analyzed. The result shown in Table 3 below indicated that N-(l 1-methyl lauryl)hydrazine dihydrochloride selectively inhibited COX-2 activity, but not COX-1 activity measured by PGE2 production. It has been desirable to have new pharmaceutical anti-inflammatory drugs with selective inhibition of COX-2 in preference to COX-1. Those drugs with similar anti-inflammatory property to conventional non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs will have a remarkable decrease of non-desired side effects.

The other compounds of the present invention have also shown selective COX-2 inhibition effects in measurements. Arachidonate metabolism and cancer elevated COX-2 and PGE2 levels have been reported in a number of human malignancies including colon, lung, head and neck, breast, pancreatic, bladder and prostate tumors. The present compounds as selective COX-2 inhibitors have significant inhibitory effects on the growth of mouse and human tumor cells in vitro and in vivo shown in the following examples. The compounds and the types of cancer will not been limited to those below.

Example 19: In vitro test on the anticancer effects of 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl-N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride against the growth of various human and mouse cancer cell lines
All human and mouse cancer cell cultures and subcultures were established according to standard procedures. The adherent cells were incubated in sealed culture flask at 37°C. The suspension cells in culture flask with a screwed cap were incubated in 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. The culture medium was RPMI 1640 supplemented with 15%> deactivated fetal bovine serum, and was refreshed every three days. The subcultures were established by treating the cells with 0.25% trypsin every week for adherent cells, and by centrifugation for suspension cells, respectively. Log-phase growing cells after 24~48 hours subculturing were used in this test, at a density of 1 x 105 cells/ml. Suspension cells were seeded in triplication onto 40-well plates at 0.18 ml/well. After incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2 in atmosphere for 12 hours, cells were treated with a series of 5-6 different concentrations of 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl -N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride (sample) (20 μl/well). Same volume of normal saline (NS) only was used in control groups. After 24 hours of incubation, numbers of live cells in each well were counted by trypan blue dye exclusion. Rates of inhibition at different drug concentrations were calculated by linear regression analysis. Adherent cells were diluted into 1 x 105 /ml and seeded in triplication onto 96-well plates at 0.18 ml/well. The cells in test groups were treated with a series of 5~6 different concentrations of the sample (20 μl/well), and the cells in control group were added with same volume of NS. In the blank wells, there were no cells but medium. After incubation at 37°C with 5% CO2 in atmosphere for 48-72 hours, 20 μl of 5 mg fresh MTT solution was added to each well. After another 4 hours of incubation and removal of supernatant, 150 μl DMSO was added into each well and shaken for 10 minutes to fully dissolve the precipitate. OD490 was measured on Immunoreader Bio-TEK EL311 and normalized by the controls. The inhibition rate was calculated by the following formula and IC50 was determined. Inhibition rate (%) = 1 - (OD4 0 in test well / OD 90 in control well).
The results in Table 7 below showed that compound 13-Methyl tetradecanoyl-N,N-di (2-amino ethyl) amine dihydrochloride significantly inhibited the growth of various human and mouse cancer cell lines.
