Description

W O 97/03664 PCTnHU96/00038 USE OF IPRIFLAVONE TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CD8 ~ CELLS

The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions suitable to decrease the number of CD8+ cells cont~inin~ 7-isopropoxyisoflavone (IPRIFLAVONE) as active ingredient.
IPRIFLAVONE is a known antiosteoporotic agent. Its p,ep~udLion is described in Hungarian patent specifications Nr. 162377 and 196981. It is known that the organism has two basic protective functions, the humoral and the cell-m~ tefi immune 10 responses. The so-called cell-mediated immune response is primarily directed against endogen antigens on cells infected with a virus or with an intracellular parasite. tumor cells, chemically modified cells and foreign tissues.
Cell-mef~i~ted immune response is ~tt~-~ht-d to the so-called thymus dependent (cells maturing in the thymus) Iymphocytes (T lymphocytes).At the end of the maturation15 process two types of T Iymphocytes -based on their surface markers clearly differentiable subgroups- will be released to the periphery. The CD4+ cells. the so-called helper cells are activated upon the presentation of exogen antigens and help the immune response bv increasing their cvtokine production. The CD8+ cells. the so-called cytotoxic cells are activated upon recognition of the endogen antigen then they destro-20 the cells recognized as foreign by cytolysis.
Approximately , /3 of the peripheral Iymphocytes are CD4+ and 1/3 CD8+.Corresponding to this the normal CD4+/CD8+ ratio is 2: 1.
(Andras Falus; Immunology pages 111-138 TEMPUS ITC Bp./1993) The cvtotoxic immune response is a basic protective mechanism in case of intracellular 25 infections because by the destruction of the infected cell it elimin~tt-s the possibilitv for the pathogenic agent to reproduce. Similarly it has an important role in the destruction of tumor cells. In these cases the cytotoxic immun~ response serves to protect the integritv of the organism.

30 Cases are also known where with respect to the organism cytotoxic immune response is undesired or even harmful. In case of certain autoimmun~ e~c~ cytotoxic reaction is directed towards own cells of the organism causing severe functional disturbances as a result. Characteristic example of T cell mP~ tec~ immune disease is rheumatoid arthritis.

W O 97/03664 PCTAHU9~ B

Pathologic cytotoxic reaction can be seen in case of certain aplastic ~nerni~c and chronic active hepatitis. Rejection reaction following tissue or organ transplantations is also based on the cytotoxic immllne ~ Jollse. In case of special organ transplantation -bone marrow- the so-called "graft versus host" is also based on the cytotoxic reaction.
5 In these cases CD4+/CD8+ ratio decreases, in certain cases reverses which is mainly the result of the increase of CD8+ cells and less the result of the decrease of the CD4+ cells.
In cases of autoimml-nP ~lice~es and rejection reactions following tissue/organ transplantations it is a usual IlG~ procedure to moderate the immunP re~ollse, in certain cases even to drastically reduce it (immunosuppressive trç~tment).
10 Immunosu~plt:s~ e treatment causes not only a decrease in the number of T
Iymphocytes but it also has an effect toward norm~li7~tion of the CD4+/CD8+ cell ratio.
In case of an allogen bone marrow transplant which does not contain CD8+ cell "graft versus host" reaction can be observed in signific~ntly less numbers. Therefore, in the mentioned ~lice~Pc a therapy that decreases specifically the number of CD8+ cells could 15 be advantageous.

Based on the above theoretical considerations and practical experiences we e~minPd the kind of effect ipriflavone treatment has on T Iymphocytes responsible for the cell-me~ ted immune response and on the number of CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic 20 cells. To separate certain types of Iymphocytes and subgroups we used flow cytometry.
In a clinical trial the absolute Iymphocyte couni and the change in certain Iymphocyte subpopulations were studied in 60 patients taking a daily dose of 400 mg ipriflavone.
In 51 patients a mild or moderate decrease of absolute Iymphocyte count was observed.
The mean absolute Iymphocyte count of patients was 0.85xl O9/l (range 0.75-0.89)25 following the treatment. (Normal range: 0.9-3.22xlO9/l) In 9 patients the mean absolute Iymphocyte count was found within the normal range, 1.84xlO9/l. In the 51 patients with Iymphopenia the decrease was rh~ractPristic only for the so called T Iymphocytes and among them primarily and pronounced for the CD8+ subpopulation. The mean CD8+ count was 0.08xlO9/l (range 0.02-0.23), which represents a rather significant cell 30 count reduction taking into account the normal range of 0.3-1.44xlO9/l.
In the 9 patients showing normal Iymphocyte count the mean CD8+ count was 10.43xlO9/l (range 0.28-0.64). Although this value is within the normal range, it falls in its lower quartilis, which finding ~u~olL~ the selectivite nature of the effect.

-W O 97/03664 PCTAHU~5/G~8 We found that under ipriflavone ll~at.l.cnt the n.lmber of T Iymphocytes decreased on the average by 66.6%. Considering CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic subgroups the average decrease was signific~ntly dirr~ lt. Next to the 50% CD4+ helper cell decrease, the decrease of CD8+ cytotoxic cells was 77%. CD4+/CD8+ ratio 5 characterizes the differing number of Cd4+ and CD8+ cells, the ratio of which changed to 5:1 upon ipriflavone tre~tment The decrease in the number of T Iymphocytes, CD4+ helper and CD8+ cytotoxic cells and the basic change in their ratios are considerable in two aspects. In the course of cu~,~oln~im mllnn~u~eSsi~e treatments the observed decrease in cell number was as a 10 rule smaller than experienced in case of ipriflavone. Further significant difference is the more pronounced decrease in the number of CD8+ cytotoxic cells than in the number of CD4+ helper cells. Based on the results it can be assumed that ipriflavone is capable to decrease or to inhibit specifically the cytotoxic reaction.

15 Subject of the invention is a ph~rm~-~elltical composition suitable to decrease the number of CD8+cells comprising as active ingredient 7-isopropoxyisoflavone in admixture with suitable inert, solid or liquid carriers and optionally with usual therapeutic additives and auxiliary agents.
The above composition can be used for the tre~tmcnt of a human or animal subject20 being in a condition where selective suppression of CD8+1ymphocytes is desirable.

The compositions acco..lhlg to the invention may be prepared in the form of injection, infusion, capsule, tablet, solution, syrup, tr~n~ l p,el~dLion, etc. by methods known per se.
In riiee~ee, or states of condition where inhibition of the cytotoxic reaction has a therapeutic value are rather different in their nature, a~e~ ce and course of disease.
Therefore the dose has to be determinPd in knowledge of the diagnosis, initial number of Iymphocytes and the ratio of Cd4+/CD8+ cells.
