Description

本発明は、医薬、殊にミノドロン酸等のビスホスホネートを有効成分として含有する悪性黒色腫治療剤に関する。  The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for malignant melanoma containing a pharmaceutical, particularly a bisphosphonate such as minodronic acid as an active ingredient.

悪性黒色腫(メラノーマ)は色素細胞系の悪性腫瘍であり、転移を生じやすく、化学療法などでも抵抗性の悪性度の高い腫瘍として知られている。多くは表皮基底層部に存在する色素細胞(メラノサイト)の癌化によって生じ、腫瘍細胞がメラニン色素生産能を有するために、黒褐色調の皮膚病変として認められる。
悪性黒色腫の治療は、進行のステージ(病期)に応じてきめ細かな治療が提案され、原発巣の切除に加えてリンパ節郭清、化学療法等の治療方法がとられている。しかし、悪性黒色腫は抗癌剤に極めて抵抗性であるため、転移を生じた進行期の当該腫瘍に確実に奏効する治療法は現状では見出されていない。
Malignant melanoma is a pigmented cell-type malignant tumor that is prone to metastasis and is known as a highly malignant tumor that is resistant to chemotherapy. Many are caused by canceration of pigment cells (melanocytes) present in the basal layer of the epidermis, and are recognized as dark brown skin lesions because the tumor cells have the ability to produce melanin pigments.
As for the treatment of malignant melanoma, detailed treatments have been proposed according to the stage of progression (stage), and in addition to excision of the primary lesion, treatment methods such as lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and the like have been taken. However, because malignant melanoma is extremely resistant to anticancer agents, no treatment has been found to be surely effective for the advanced stage tumor that has developed metastasis.

一方、ビスホスホネートは石灰化抑制物質であるピロリン酸と類似の構造を有する化合物であって、破骨細胞の機能を抑制し骨吸収抑制作用を有することから、骨粗鬆症等の代謝性骨疾患の治療に用いられている薬剤である。例えば、ミノドロン酸(1−ヒドロキシ−2−(イミダゾ[1,2−a]ピリジン−3−イル)エタン−1,1−ビスホスホン酸)又はその塩は、縮合複素環骨格を有するビスホスホン酸化合物であり、ページェット病、高カルシウム血症、癌の骨転移、骨粗鬆症、慢性関節リウマチ等の炎症性関節疾患に伴う骨吸収の亢進等の骨吸収を抑制すると記載されている(特許文献1参照)。また、多発性骨髄腫の治療作用並びに多発性骨髄腫の骨病変の治療作用を有することが報告されている(特許文献2参照)。
しかしながら、ビスホスホネートの悪性黒色腫に対する作用については、現在まで何等報告が無い。
On the other hand, bisphosphonate is a compound with a structure similar to pyrophosphoric acid, which is a mineralization inhibitor, and suppresses the function of osteoclasts and suppresses bone resorption. Therefore, it is useful for the treatment of metabolic bone diseases such as osteoporosis. It is a drug used. For example, minodronic acid (1-hydroxy-2- (imidazo [1,2-a] pyridin-3-yl) ethane-1,1-bisphosphonic acid) or a salt thereof is a bisphosphonic acid compound having a condensed heterocyclic skeleton. Yes, it is described to suppress bone resorption such as increased bone resorption associated with inflammatory joint diseases such as Paget's disease, hypercalcemia, cancer bone metastasis, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis (see Patent Document 1). . In addition, it has been reported to have a therapeutic action for multiple myeloma and a therapeutic action for bone lesions of multiple myeloma (see Patent Document 2).
However, there are no reports on the effects of bisphosphonates on malignant melanoma.

以下に、本発明の治療剤の効果を示す試験例を示す。なお、本発明の範囲は以下の試験例により何等限定されることはない。
ヌードマウスにおけるG361メラノーマ細胞移植腫瘍の増殖抑制試験
<方法>
1群5匹のヌードマウス(6週齢、♀)の腹側上部皮内にG361メラノーマ細胞10cells/マウスを移植した。ミノドロン酸水和物5μg/マウス(ミノドロン酸投与群)または生理食塩液(コントロール群)を連日腹腔内投与した。5日間隔で腫瘍径(短径および長径)をノギスで測定し、腫瘍体積(短径×長径/2)を算出した。
Below, the test example which shows the effect of the therapeutic agent of this invention is shown. The scope of the present invention is not limited by the following test examples.
Growth inhibition test of G361 melanoma cell transplanted tumor in nude mice <Method>
G361 melanoma cells 10 6 cells / mouse were transplanted into the ventral upper skin of 5 nude mice (6 weeks old, rabbit) per group. Minodronic acid hydrate 5 μg / mouse (minodronic acid administration group) or physiological saline (control group) was intraperitoneally administered daily. The tumor diameter (minor axis and major axis) was measured with calipers at intervals of 5 days, and the tumor volume (minor axis 2 × major axis / 2) was calculated.

<結果及び考察>
ヌードマウスに移植したG361メラノーマ細胞の増殖は速く、40日後に腫瘍体積は500−600mmに達した。一方、ミノドロン酸投与群では、G361ラノーマ細胞の腫瘍増殖は40日間にわたりほぼ完全に抑制された(図1参照)。Kaplan−Meier解析からミノドロン酸投与群ではコントロール群に比較してマウスの生存率は有意に高かった(図2参照)。
<Results and discussion>
The growth of G361 melanoma cells transplanted into nude mice was fast and the tumor volume reached 500-600 mm 3 after 40 days. On the other hand, in the minodronic acid administration group, tumor growth of G361 lanoma cells was almost completely suppressed over 40 days (see FIG. 1). From the Kaplan-Meier analysis, the survival rate of mice was significantly higher in the minodronic acid administration group than in the control group (see FIG. 2).

本発明の「悪性黒色腫治療剤」は、悪性黒色腫の増殖を抑制し、患者の生存率を向上させることが期待されることから、悪性黒色腫の治療に適用できる。  The “malignant melanoma therapeutic agent” of the present invention can be applied to the treatment of malignant melanoma because it is expected to suppress the growth of malignant melanoma and improve the survival rate of patients.
