Description

"hCG - Newer Treatment modality for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)" The Field Of Invention
The present invention relates to method of treating Type 2 Diabetes(T2DM) and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications using hCG which could either be used singly or in combination with anti -diabetic agent(s). The present invention further relate to a pharmaceutical combination of hCG with one or more anti diabetic agents thereof for treating Type 2 Diabetes(T2DM) and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications.
Background of the Invention
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common forms of chronic disease globally and few societies or ethnic groups are spared. It accounts for about 85% of cases of diabetes in Caucasians and virtually all in certain non - Caucasian ethnic groups. In 2010, it was estimated that 285 million people worldwide have diabetes, of whom 80% live in less developed countries and areas. Among those aged 20 - 79 years, about 6.6% have diabetes globally. The highest number of people with diabetes or the hub of Diabetes would be Ind ia by the year 201 .
The number of people with diabetes is expected to reach 438 million by 2030, an increase of 54% compared to predicted figures for 2010. The largest increases will be in countries with rapidly growing economies, such as India and China. With the increasing consumption of high - energy food, increasing adoption of sedentary lifestyles and urbanization, increasing numbers of individuals developT2DM, and the age of diagnosis is decreasing.
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a heterogeneous disorder, phenotypically, genotypically and pathogenetically. Approximately 10% of patients have a late - onset form of autoimmune diabetes which may represent a hybrid of type 1 and type 2 diabetes; up to another 5% of patients have one of the autosomally dominant inherited forms of maturity - onset diabetes of youth (MODY); another 1% may have rare genetic mutations involving insulin receptors and elements of the insulin signaling pathway. The remaining 85% of patients have "garden variety" T2DM.
Insulin resistance both precedes and predicts type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The insulin resistance preceding T2DM is commonly referred to as the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance, even when present in individuals without diabetes, is characterized not only by abnormalities in glucose homeostasis, but also by defects in insulin regulation of lipid and uric acid metabolism, vascular function, hemostasis and coagulation.
Hypogonadism is common in clinical practice but is frequently unrecognized and underdiagnosed. There are many pitfalls in making the diagnosis of male hypogonadism. In most studies, it is based only on total testosterone values. Sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels decrease in patients with obesity and increase with aging. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have even lower SHBG levels in comparison with age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched subjects without diabetes.
Hence, total testosterone levels may not be accurate in the obese diabetic population. Calculated free testosterone (cFT) with use of total testosterone, SHBG, and albumin has been shown to correlate well with free testosterone (FT) measured by equilibrium dialysis and is very useful in patients with altered SHBG levels. Dhindsa et al demonstrated that 33% of men withT2DM had significantly lower levels of FT measured by equilibrium dialysis, the "gold standard" assay for FT estimation.
Kapoor et al, showed that 17% of men with diabetes had overt hypogonadism with total testosterone values less than 2.3 ng/mL, and a further 25% had symptoms of hypogonadism associated with total testosterone levels between 2.3 and 3.5 ng/mL.
A clear demarcation of whether there is a direct cause- effect relationship between testosterone deficiency needs to be evaluated and / defined. However, restoring endogenous gonadal hormone levels have demonstrated an improvement of insulin sensitivity and the components of metabolic syndrome(MetS) [measures of glucose abnormalities and insulin resistance, obesity with the focus on waist circumference, dyslipidemia, and hypertension].
Traditionally oral antihyperglycemics, has been the mainstay of glycaemic control and preserving beta-cell function. Although understood, testosterone deficiency has a greater role to play on the components of MetS, it would call for a revision of the current treatment algorithms.
Studies published have demonstrated the beneficial effects of subcutaneous administration of human chorionic gonadotropin improved body composition and lipid profile, however insulin sensitivity, endothelial function and blood pressure had not worsened. Current research confirms that, physiological levels of estradiol with a stable androgen pharmacokinetic profile, are critical in improvement of insul in sensitivity.
A considerable body of evidence exists suggesting a link among reduced testosterone plasma levels, Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM), and insulin resistance (IR). Hypogonadal men are at higher risk forT2DM. Testosterone (T) plays a crucial role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis; thus, this hormone may play a vital role in maintaining glycemic control.
Published studies published in peer reviewed journals, reported a positive correlation between serum Testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity, independent of Sex Hormone Binding Globulin(SHBG), in a large cohort of men .
Studies conducted by S.K.Sigh et al.,revealed that males with MetS with or without diabetes had lower serum testosterone than their age matched healthy subjects. Hypogonadism was also common in subjects with MetS. Testosterone therapy to correct hypoandrogenimia improved insulin sensitivity and other biochemical parameters. This emphasizes that hypogonadism in all men with MetS or MetS in all men with hypogonadism needs clinical evaluation and subsequent management
Further, published observations have indicated that Hypothalamic - Pituitary -Gonadal Axis or low serum testosterone has a clinical relationship with the development of insulin resistance or may be consequence there upon. Whatever is the situation, attendant hyperandrogenemia may unfavorably influence other parameter of MetS. Restoration of serum T (testosterone) level to near normal ameliorated some of the changes favoring its casual role in development of insulin resistance. Replacement with Testosterone has a potential role in correcting the abnormality of MetS particularly in hypogonadal males
In various other published studies, exogenous synthetic testosterone has been shown to dramatically suppress gonadotropin release when administered at supra physiological as well as physiological doses. Administration of Testosterone alone has been shown to reduce sperm production in the majority of men to levels acceptable for contraception. However in a study published by Covellio, Matsumo et al. the use of human chorionic gonadotropin to selectively replace Lutenising Hormone (LH) activity within the testis would allow for manipulation of the intratesticular androgenic environment, which could play a vital role in the treatment of Type 2 Dtabetes(T2DMM).
In view of the aforementioned conventional treatments for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes(T2DM), the present invention aims at meeting the desired clinical outcomes, in Type 2 Diabetes such as improvement of insulin sensitivity, leptin levels (the markers of adiposity) through an indirect means of improving the serum androgen profile using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
Thus, while testosterone deficiency can be addressed with physiological doses of human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation, it is an object of the invention to provide an effective treatment of Type 2 Diabetes(T2DM) and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications using lower dose of hCG which could either be used singly or complementing the main-stay therapy.
Another object of the invention is to provide a pharmaceutical combination of hCG either alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic agents. Summary of the invention:
In accordance with the objectives, one aspect of the present invention disclose a novel treatment modality for type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications using human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), either alone or in combination with one or more anti-diabetic agent(s).
In an aspect, the method of treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications comprises administering hCG preferably in parental form.
In another aspect, the method of treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated co- morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications comprises administering hCG in combination with one or more anti-diabetic agent(s) either sequentially, simultaneously, concurrently, or alternatively.
In another aspect, the anti -diabetic agents are preferably administered orally.
In an aspect, the present invention disclose method for treating physiological testosterone deficient related complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with associated co- morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S).
In another aspect, the present invention provides pharmaceutical combination comprising human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) with one or more anti-diabetic agent(s) as combination drugs which works synergistically against type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated co-morbid conditions of Metabolic syndrome (Met S), Insulin sensitivity and physiological testosterone deficient related complications.

The Animal Model
Male Wistar Rats weighing 300 - 350 gms were chosen for the study. The number of animals in each group were n=12, to compensate for mortality during the 60 day period.
Inducing Diabetes
The Streptozotocin model was chosen as the signs and symptoms exhibited by the animals is similar to Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, unlike Alloxan which causes complete pancreatic damage, which is similar to Type I Diabetes. The pancreatic dysfunction, was induced using Streptozotocin (STZ) 40 - 60 mg/kg body-weight [reconstituted in citrate buffer].
Grouping of Experimental Animals
1. Group I (Control) - Streptozotocin [STZ alone]
2. Group II - 500 IU Highly Purified hCG Injections
3. Group III - 500 IU Highly Purified hCG Injections + Metformin [Biguanide] Study Procedure
The animals once induced with diabetes, exhibited symptoms of polyuria, restlessness and fatigue and the animals were observed for 48 hours and fed a high protein diet.
1. Group I - Streptozotocin Group: STZ group was euthanized using carbon dioxide as described in standard laboratory manuals. Blood samples for Blood Glucose Levels, HbAlc, Lipids, Testosterone, Estradiol (E2), and Insulin levels were estimated using ELISA techniques. 2. Group II - 500 IU Highly Purified hCG Injection Group: Standard anti-diabetic regimen was initiated with a Sulphonylurea [Gliclazide] and Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitor [Acarbose] per-orally along with a weekly sub-cutaneous / Intramuscular injection of highly purified hCG [500 IU] which was administered after calibrating the doses as per body-weight.
3. Group III - 500 IU Highly Purified hCG + Biaguanide [Metformin] Group:
Standard anti-diabetic regimen was initiated with a Sulphonylurea [Gliclazide] and Alpha-Glucosidase Inhibitor [Acarbose] per-orally along with a weekly subcutaneous / Intramuscular injection of 500 IU Highly Purified hCG which was administered after calibrating the doses as per body-weight.
All the animals were weighed on regular basis to check for either weight gain, or weight loss during the entire study period.
Blood Collection Methodology
Prior to inducing Diabetes, blood samples were collected by the orbital method in all the group of animals which were mildly anesthetized, prior to collection. Eye drops were instilled to prevent any infection.
All the animals, were euthanized using the Carbon Dioxide Chamber [C02], and blood was collected using the cardiac puncture and both plasma and serum were collected in sufficient quantities for evaluation of the biochemical parameters and was stored at 2-8 degree centigrade, till the tests were performed.
Bio-Chemical Investigations
Blood Glucose Levels were estimated using an Accucheck [Pre - & Post-Treatment] HbAlc [Glycosylated Haemoglobin] - Pre- & Post
Lipid Profile [Cholesterol, HDL,LDL,HDL/LDL Ratio]
Insulin Levels
Hormones - Testosterone and Estradiol All the bio-chemical parameters were estimated using ELISA kits in a NABL Laboratory. Blood sampling was done as per the procedure described above.

From the above tables, it is clear that the Glucose levels which had shown elevated levels initially similar to human T2DM, were well controlled, by treating animals with standard anti-diabetic regimens along with hCG and Metformin [oral] +hCG [injectable].
The reason for variation in glucoses levels appeared in animal models is due to handling of the animals that are under stress. However, in humans as the stress levels are lower; the values with hCG and hCG +Metformin would be higher than Metformin alone.
As regards the weight of the animals, the animals that had lost weight initially a manifestation of T2DM, administration of hCG and hCG along with metformin, did not allow further reduction of weight nor did the animals become obese, once treatment was initiated. Therefore, the administration of hCG either alone or in combination with antidiabetic drugs proves the synergistic and prolonged effect over the conventional treatments.
