Description

本発明はプロスタグランジンF2α誘導体を有効成分として含む網膜神経細胞保護剤に関する。   The present invention relates to a retinal nerve cell protective agent comprising a prostaglandin F2α derivative as an active ingredient.

網膜は内境界膜、神経線維層、神経節細胞層、内網状層、内顆粒層、外網状層、外顆粒層、外境界膜、視細胞層及び網膜色素上皮層の10層から成る、厚さ0.1〜0.5mmの組織であり、その中には視細胞、双極細胞、神経節細胞、水平細胞、アマクリン細胞及びミュラー細胞という網膜神経細胞群が存在する。   The retina consists of 10 layers: inner boundary membrane, nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell layer, inner reticular layer, inner granular layer, outer reticular layer, outer granular layer, outer boundary membrane, photoreceptor layer and retinal pigment epithelium layer The tissue has a thickness of 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and includes retinal nerve cell groups such as photoreceptor cells, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, horizontal cells, amacrine cells, and Muller cells.

網膜神経細胞は光刺激を電気信号に変換して、脳へ伝達するといった視覚情報の受容と伝達において重要な役割を果たしている。   Retinal neurons play an important role in the reception and transmission of visual information, such as converting light stimuli into electrical signals and transmitting them to the brain.

その伝達メカニズムについて詳述すると、目から入った視覚情報は視細胞により電気信号化され、水平細胞、双極細胞及び/又はアマクリン細胞を経由した後に神経節細胞に伝達される。次いで、その電気信号は神経節細胞の軸策を含む視神経線維の束である視神経を経由して脳に伝達される。   When the transmission mechanism is described in detail, visual information entered from the eyes is converted into an electrical signal by the photoreceptor cell and transmitted to the ganglion cell after passing through the horizontal cell, the bipolar cell and / or the amacrine cell. The electrical signal is then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve, which is a bundle of optic nerve fibers containing ganglion cell axons.

ところで、この網膜神経細胞が種々の原因により障害を受けると網膜神経細胞の恒常性(網膜血流循環による網膜神経細胞への酸素や栄養の供給といった機能等)が維持できなくなり視覚情報の脳への伝達が妨げられる。例えば、網膜血管閉塞症、糖尿病性網膜症、虚血性視神経症、緑内障、黄斑変性症、網膜色素変性症、レーベル病等の種々の網膜疾患おいて、網膜神経細胞の機能破綻が生じていることが広く知られている(非特許文献1)。   By the way, when this retinal nerve cell is damaged due to various causes, the homeostasis of the retinal nerve cell (functions such as supply of oxygen and nutrients to the retinal nerve cell by retinal blood circulation) cannot be maintained, and the visual information brain Transmission is hindered. For example, functional failure of retinal neurons has occurred in various retinal diseases such as retinal vascular occlusion, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic optic neuropathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, label disease, etc. Is widely known (Non-Patent Document 1).

最近、網膜神経細胞を障害する原因の一つとして、網膜虚血による網膜神経細胞死が考えられるようになり、この網膜虚血による網膜神経細胞死に関して、
1)網膜虚血による網膜神経細胞死の機序が脳虚血時の脳神経細胞死の機序に類似していること、
2)短期間の網膜虚血では網膜内層(内網状層)が選択的に傷害されること、
3)網膜虚血時にグルタミン酸の過剰遊離が確認できること、
4)グルタミン酸等の興奮性アミノ酸を硝子体内に注射することにより網膜神経細胞死が惹起すること、
5)網膜のN-メチル-D-アスパルテート(NMDA)受容体を介する過剰刺激が細胞内へのカルシウム(Ca)流入を促進し、その結果として一酸化窒素(NO)の誘導を介し細胞障害を惹起すること、等が報告されている(特許文献1、非特許文献2)。
Recently, retinal nerve cell death due to retinal ischemia has been considered as one of the causes of retinal nerve cell damage.
1) The mechanism of retinal neuronal cell death due to retinal ischemia is similar to that of cerebral neuronal cell death during cerebral ischemia.
2) In the short-term retinal ischemia, the inner layer of the retina (inner reticulated layer) is selectively damaged,
3) Confirmation of excessive release of glutamate during retinal ischemia,
4) Retinal nerve cell death is induced by injecting excitatory amino acids such as glutamate into the vitreous body.
5) Overstimulation via retinal N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor promotes calcium (Ca) influx into cells, resulting in cytotoxicity through induction of nitric oxide (NO) Has been reported (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 2).

これらのことからグルタミン酸神経毒性抑制薬、NMDA受容体遮断薬、NO合成阻害薬等の薬物が網膜神経細胞障害に起因する眼疾患の治療に有用であると考えられ、現在、種々の検討がなされている。   Based on these findings, drugs such as glutamate neurotoxicity inhibitors, NMDA receptor blockers, and NO synthesis inhibitors are considered to be useful for the treatment of eye diseases caused by retinal neuronal cell damage. ing.

例えば、特許文献2にはβ遮断薬の一つであるニプラジロールを有効成分として含む網膜神経細胞保護剤が、特許文献3にはインターロイキン−1受容体アンタゴニストタンパクを有効成分として含む視神経節細胞保護剤が、特許文献4には塩酸ブリモニジン等のα1受容体遮断薬を有効成分として含む視神経節細胞保護剤が、非特許文献3にはプロスタグランジン誘導体の一つであるラタノプロストの神経保護作用等が開示されている。 For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a retinal nerve cell protective agent containing nipradilol, which is one of β-blockers, as an active ingredient, and Patent Document 3 discloses optic ganglion cell protection containing an interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein as an active ingredient. Patent Document 4 discloses an optic ganglion cell protective agent containing an α 1 receptor blocker such as brimonidine hydrochloride as an active ingredient, and Non-patent Document 3 discloses a neuroprotective action of latanoprost, which is one of prostaglandin derivatives. Etc. are disclosed.

Patent Document 5 discloses natural prostaglandin F2α derivatives, Patent Document 6 discloses latanoprost-related compounds, Patent Document 7 discloses bimatoprost-related compounds, Patent Document 8 discloses travoprost-related compounds, Patent Document 9 discloses Monofluoroprostaglandin F2α derivatives are disclosed in Patent Documents 10 and 11, difluoroprostaglandin F2α derivatives, and Patent Document 12 is a fluorine-containing prostaglandin F2α derivative having a polysubstituted aryloxy group. Reference 13 discloses an ether-type difluoroprostaglandin F2α derivative, and Patent Document 14 discloses a difluoroprostaglandin F2α amide derivative.

後述の薬理試験の項で詳細に説明するが、ラット胎児網膜神経細胞を用いたグルタミン酸誘発網膜神経細胞死に対するプロスタグランジンF2α誘導体の効果を検討した。その結果、プロスタグランジンF2α誘導体は濃度依存的にグルタミン酸誘発網膜神経細胞死を抑制した。すなわち、プロスタグランジンF2α誘導体は網膜神経細胞保護作用を有しており、網膜神経細胞障害が関与する眼疾患の予防又は治療に有用である。   As will be described in detail in the section of the pharmacological test described later, the effect of the prostaglandin F2α derivative on glutamate-induced retinal neuronal cell death using rat fetal retinal neurons was examined. As a result, the prostaglandin F2α derivative suppressed glutamate-induced retinal neuronal cell death in a concentration-dependent manner. That is, the prostaglandin F2α derivative has a retinal nerve cell protective action and is useful for the prevention or treatment of eye diseases involving retinal nerve cell damage.

(1) Isolation and culture of retinal neurons Pregnant SD rats were opened under general anesthesia, and the uterus was transferred into a petri dish containing Hanks's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS). The rat fetus was removed from the uterus and the eyeball of the rat fetus was removed. The retina was removed from the eyeball under a stereomicroscope and finely chopped with a scalpel. Further, the retina was made finer to the cell level, passed through a nylon mesh (No.305 NBC Kogyo Co., Ltd.) to remove cell clumps, and the permeate was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 4 minutes. The supernatant was removed, and the remaining cells were suspended by adding a suitable amount of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) -containing modified Eagle's Medium (MEM). After counting the number of cells with a hemocytometer, MEM medium containing 10% FBS was added to obtain a cell suspension having a cell number of 0.8 × 10 6 cells / ml. 80 μl of the cell suspension was seeded on a polyethyleneimine-coated plastic disc and allowed to stand in an incubator (37 ° C., 5% CO 2 ). The medium was replaced on the even day, with the cell seeding day being the first day of culture. In addition, a 10% FBS-containing MEM medium was used until the 4th day, and a 10% horse serum (Horse Serum, HS) -containing MEM medium was used after the 8th day. However, on the 6th day, 6 ml of cytarabine (Ara-C) -containing medium (1.5 × 10 −5 M in 10% FBS-containing MEM medium) was used to remove proliferating cells.
