Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of azole antifungals for the treatment of actinic keratosis.
  • actinic keratosis (also called “solar keratosis” and “senile keratosis”, AK) is a premalignant condition of thick, scaly, or crusty patches of skin consisting of dysplastic keratinocytic lesions.
  • AK is one of the most common conditions treated by dermatologists. It is more common in fair-skinned people. And most important it is associated with those who are frequently exposed to the sun, as it is usually accompanied by solar damage. It is generally accepted that these lesions can progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Concerning the rate of this transformation there is a controversy in the literature with annual rates of transformation described in the range of 0.1 % - 20%. Nevertheless there is no doubt that these pre-cancerous lesions should be treated in order to prevent manifestation of malignant tumors. In addition lesions are in general treated also for cosmetic purposes and to provide relief from symptoms, such as tenderness or itch.
  • An actinic keratosis site commonly ranges between 2 and 6 millimeters in size, and can be dark or light, tan, pink, red, a combination of all these, or have the same pigment as the surrounding skin. It typically appears on any sun-exposed area, such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, chest, backs of hands, forearms, or lips.
  • An efficient treatment that can be used for focal (leasional) but also for treatment of larger areas of affected skin and eliminate obvious AK lesions as well as clinically non visible pre- lesions would be beneficial for the patient. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide alternative treatments for actinic keratosis with improved patient convenience.

Description

Use of azole antifungals for the treatment of actinic keratosis
The present invention relates to the use of azole antifungals for the treatment of actinic keratosis.
In general, actinic keratosis (also called "solar keratosis" and "senile keratosis", AK) is a premalignant condition of thick, scaly, or crusty patches of skin consisting of dysplastic keratinocytic lesions. AK is one of the most common conditions treated by dermatologists. It is more common in fair-skinned people. And most important it is associated with those who are frequently exposed to the sun, as it is usually accompanied by solar damage. It is generally accepted that these lesions can progress to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Concerning the rate of this transformation there is a controversy in the literature with annual rates of transformation described in the range of 0.1 % - 20%. Nevertheless there is no doubt that these pre-cancerous lesions should be treated in order to prevent manifestation of malignant tumors. In addition lesions are in general treated also for cosmetic purposes and to provide relief from symptoms, such as tenderness or itch.
When skin is exposed to the sun constantly, thick, scaly, or crusty bumps may appear. The scaly or crusty part of the bump is dry and rough. The growths start out as flat scaly areas, and later grow into a tough, wart-like area.
In addition to chronic UV-exposure also infections with HPV has been implicated in the aetiology of AK.
An actinic keratosis site commonly ranges between 2 and 6 millimeters in size, and can be dark or light, tan, pink, red, a combination of all these, or have the same pigment as the surrounding skin. It typically appears on any sun-exposed area, such as the face, ears, neck, scalp, chest, backs of hands, forearms, or lips.
An efficient treatment that can be used for focal (leasional) but also for treatment of larger areas of affected skin and eliminate obvious AK lesions as well as clinically non visible pre- lesions would be beneficial for the patient. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide alternative treatments for actinic keratosis with improved patient convenience.
This object is solved by Claim 1 of the present invention. Accordingly, the use of azole antifungals for the treatment of actinic keratosis is provided.
Surprisingly it has been found that these compounds can be used for the treatment of actinic keratosis. Without being bound to any theory the inventors believe that this due to the keratinolytic activity of the claimed compounds.
This profound keratinolytic activity is responsible for the primary curing effect in AK.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the azole antifungals comprise an imidazole or triazole moiety.
The term "moiety" in the sense of the present invention especially means and/or includes that such a chemical structure is part of the molecule; however the moiety may be a substructure of the molecule. Preferably the imidazole or triazole moiety is N-substituted.
More preferred the imidazole or triazole moiety is N-substituted in that way that in β- position a substituted or unsubstituted benzene ring is located. Said benzene ring is preferably (di-)halogenated in 2- and/or 4-position (the chemical link to the imidazole or triazole moiety being the 1 -position). Thus the azole antifungals preferably comprise a moiety of the following structure:
Figure imgf000004_0001
with X being CH or N. Preferably the halogens are chlorides and/or fluorides. As indicated by the "*" either the a-carbon or the β-carbon to the imidazole or triazole may be further substituted; however it is preferred that the α-carbon is unsubstituted (i.e. there is a CH2-group), whereas the β-carbon is further substituted. "Substituted" in this context means especially that one or two more chemical moieties may be present by one or two single bonds or one double bond.
It should be noted that the α-carbon and the β-carbon to the imidazole or triazole may be further substituted in that way that they form a double bond; this is actually a further embodiment of the present invention.
Alternatively and also according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the imidazole or triazole moiety is N-substituted in that way that in a-position one or two substituted or unsubstituted benzene rings are located. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pK of the azole antifungals is between ≥6.5 and <8.5, preferably between ≥7.0 and <8. This has been shown in practice to increase the activity against AK.

Application of a formulation comprising the azole antifungals of the present invention can be carried out by topical application or any form of injection, in particular by epicutaneous injection.
The azole antifungals according to the present invention can be applied topically. Examples for a topic application of a formulation comprising a molecule according to the present invention include a cream, a patch, a salve, a gel, a powder, a dressing, ointment, microemulsions, liposomes, nanoparticles, semi-solid-nanoparticles without or with the use of iontophoresis or other transdermal systems. Preferably the concentration of the azole antifungals according to the present invention is from about≥0.0001 % to about < 20% (wt/wt), preferred from about≥ 0.001 % to about < 15%, more preferred from about≥ 0.01 % to about < 10%, yet more preferred about≥ 0.1 % to about < 10% and most preferred about≥ 2% to about < 5 %.
Preferably the concentration of the azole antifungals according to the present invention is from about≥ 0.0001 % to about < 0.1 % (wt/wt), preferred from about≥ 0.01 % to about < 10%, more preferred from about≥ 0.1 % to about < 5%, yet more preferred about≥ 0.05% to about < 1 % and most preferred about≥ 0.2% to about < 2 %.
