Brief Description of the Related Art
Eukaryotic cells contain multiple proteolytic systems, including lysosomal proteases, calpains, the ATP-ubiquitin-proteasome dependent pathway and a non-lysosomal process independent of ATP. The highest neutral proteolytic activity in the cytosol and in the nucleus is the proteasome, a 20S particle (700 kDa) with multiple peptidase activities. The 20S complex is the proteolytic nucleus of a 26S complex (1500
REF .: 119012 kDa) that degrades or processes proteins conjugated to ubiquitin. Ubiquitination marks a protein for hydrolysis by the 26S proteasome complex. Many abnormal or normal short-lived polypeptides are degraded by the proteasome-dependent pathway of ubiquitin. Abnormal peptides include proteins damaged by oxidants (for example, those that have oxidized disulfide bonds), products of premature translational termination (for example, those that have exposed hydrophobic groups that are recognized by the proteasome, and denatured or damaged proteins). induced by stress or stress (where stress is induced for example by changes in pH or temperature, or exposure to metals.) The proteasome also participates in the rapid elimination and post-translational processing of the proteins involved in cellular regulation (eg, cell cycle, gene transcription, and metabolic pathways), intercellular communication, and immune response (eg, antigen presentation) Transcriptional factor NF-? B is a member of the Reí family of proteins. The Reí family of transcriptional activator proteins can be divided into two groups. The first group requires a proteolytic processing, and includes pl05 and plOO, which are processed at p50 and p52, respectively. The second group does not require proteolytic processing and includes p65 (Reí A), Reí (c-Rel), and Reí B. NF-? B comprises two subunits, p50 and an additional member of the Reí gene family, for example, p65. pl05 unprocessed can also be associated with p65 and other members of the Reí family. In most cells, the p50-p65 heterodimer is present in an inactive form in the cytoplasm, linked to I? B-a. The ternary complex can be activated by the dissociation and destruction of I? B-a, while the p65 / pl05 heterodimer can be activated by pl05 processing. The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway plays an essential role in the regulation of NF-? B activity, being responsible for the processing of pl05 to p50 and for the degradation of the inhibitor protein I? B-a. In order to be targeted for degradation by the proteasome, I? Ba must first undergo selective phosphorylation at serine residues 32 and 33, followed by ubiquitination (Chen et al., Genes &Devel opmen t (1995) 9 : 1586; Chen et al., Cel l (1996) 84: 853; Brockman et al., Mol. Cel l. Biol. (1995) 15: 2809; Brown et al. Sci ence (1995) 267: 1485). Once activated, NF-? B translocates to the nucleus, where it plays a central role in the regulation of a remarkably diverse group of genes involved in immune and inflammatory responses (Grilli et al., In t erna ti onal Revi ew of Cyt olgy (1993) 143: 1-62). For example, NF-? B is required for the expression of a number of genes involved in the inflammatory response, such as the TNF-a gene and the genes encoding the cell adhesion molecules E-selectin, P-selectin, ICAM and VCAM (Collins, T., Lab. In ves t. (1993) 68: 499. NF-? B is also required for the expression of a large number of cytokine genes such as IL-2. , IL-6, the granulocyte colony stimulation factor, and IFN-ß, inducible nitric oxide synthetase, is also under the regulatory control of NF- [alpha] B. Proteasome inhibitors block the degradation of I? Ba and the activation of NF-? B (Palombella et al., W095 / 25533 published on 9/28/95; Traenckner et al., EMBO J. (1994) 13: 5433). Proteasome inhibitors also block TNF-α-induced expression of adhesion molecules to leukocytes, E-selectin, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 (Read et al., Immuni ty (1995) 2: 493). Cyclins are proteins involved in the control of the cell cycle. The proteasome participates in the degradation of cyclins. The degradation of cyclin makes it possible for a cell to leave one stage of the cell cycle (for example mitosis) and enter another (for example, division). There is evidence that cyclin is converted to a form vulnerable to a ubiquitin ligase or that a specific cyclin ligase is activated during mitosis (Ciechanover Ceil (1994) 79: 13). Inhibition of the proteasome inhibits the degradation of cyclin, and therefore inhibits cell proliferation (Kumatori et al, Proc.Na.i.Ac.d.Sci.USA (1990) 87: 7071). The continuous conversion of cellular proteins via the ubiquitin-proteasome is also used by the immune system to select the presence of abnormal intracellular proteins (Goldberg and Rock Na t ure (1993) 357: 375). In this process, the lymphocytes continually verify the small fragments of the cellular protein that are presented on the molecules of the major histocopathy complex (MHC) of class I. Proteasomes initially degrade proteins to small peptides, most of which they are rapidly hydrolyzed to amino acids by cytosolic exopeptidases. But some of these peptides are transported to the endoplasmic reticulum where they bind to MHC molecules and are then transported to the cell surface in a process known as antigen presentation. If the peptides are abnormal (for example, if they are derived from viral proteins), they cause cell destruction by cytotoxic T cells. Inhibitors that prevent proteasome function have been shown to block the generation of most of the peptides presented on MHC class I molecules (Rock et al., Cel l (1994) 78: 761). Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an incurable neurological disease that frequently causes chronic disability. MS is the most common demyelinating disease of the human central nervous system and typically affects young people and women more than men. Clinically, the disease is characterized in a stage of relapsing-remission or chronic progressive, although more precisely there are stages defined for research purposes. This tends to follow a highly unpredictable course, leading to chronic and sometimes devastating disability. It is widely believed that MS is the result of an autoimmune disorder in a genetically susceptible individual, mediated by autoreactive T cells that migrate to the central nervous system and initiate the inflammatory demyelination lesion. The hyper-reactivity of the respiratory tract to a variety of spasmogens and pulmonary inflammation, characterized by eosinophilia, are the pathologies that are characteristic of asthma (Beasely et al., Am. Rev. Resp. Di s. (1989) 139: 806) . Asthma is a chronic condition of the airways that involves many types of inflammatory cells and the release of many mediators and neurotransmitters that have multiple effects on the various target cells in the respiratory tract. The degree and extent of inflammation in the wall of the respiratory tract are largely related to the clinical severity of asthma. The inflammatory response of asthma consists of the activation of resident airway mastocytes / increased number of lymphocytes (which are mainly CD4 + T lymphocytes) and an infiltration with eosinophils, which seem to degranulate. There is a need in the art for effective therapies for the treatment of multiple sclerosis or asthma.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITIES
This invention is directed to the compositions and methods for the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. All patent applications, patents and literature references cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entirety. In the case of inconsistencies, the present description will prevail. The invention provides methods for the treatment of an affected patient with multiple sclerosis or asthma, comprising administering to said patient an effective amount of an agent selected from the group consisting of inhibitors of the proteasome, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof. It has now been unexpectedly discovered that the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is an objective for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. In the present description, the following definitions will be used. "Treatment" will mean any improvement of any symptom according to the administration of any inhibitor of the proteasome, inhibitor of the ubiquitin pathway, or agent that interferes with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin pathway. proteasome "Ubiquitin pathway inhibitor" will mean any substance that specifically inhibits ubiquitination or the transfer of ubiquitin to proteins. "Proteasome inhibitor" shall mean any substance that specifically inhibits the proteasome or the activity thereof. "Agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway" will mean any substance that 1) specifically inhibits the proteasome or the activity of the same; 2) specifically inhibits the ubiquitination of I? B-a or pl05; or 3) specifically inhibits the phosphorylation of I? B-a or pl05.
"Specifically inhibit" will mean that it interferes with the ability of a protein to mediate its biological function at a concentration of inhibitor that is less than the concentration of inhibitor required to produce another, unrelated biological effect. Preferably, the concentration of the inhibitor, required for such interference is at least 2 times lower, more preferably at least 5 times lower, still more preferably at least 10 times lower, and more preferably at least 20 times lower than the concentration required to produce a biological effect not related. Such inhibitors can act by any of a variety of mechanisms, including without limitation, interference with the active site or conformation of the protein, interference with the ability of the protein to interact with another protein, the substrate or a co-factor , either by an effect on the protein itself or on another protein, substrate or co-factor, and altering the microenvironment in which the biological function of the protein normally occurs. In a first aspect, the invention provides methods for treating multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an incurable neurological disease that frequently causes chronic diseapacity. It is widely believed that MS is the result of an autoimmune disorder in a genetically susceptible individual, mediated by the autoreactive T cells that migrate to the central nervous system and initiate the inflammatory deslininization lesion. The observation that MS is an autoimmune disease is derived in part from the systemic abnormalities of immune function observed in patients with the disease, and partly through the similarity with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), which in turn It serves as a model for human disease (Kennedy et al., J. Ne uroimmun ol. (1987) 16: 345; Arnason et al., Ne urol. Cl in. (1983) 1: 765; van der Veen et al., J Neuroimmunol. (1989) 48: 213; Gonatas et al., Immunol. Today (1986) 7 121; Wckerle Ac ta Neurol. (1991) 13: 197). EAE is a disease of autoimmune, inflammatory demyelination, mediated by the T cell, of the CNS. The disease can be induced in a number of experimental laboratory animals, including primates, by injection of the whole brain homogenate, a purified preparation of myelin basic protein (MBP) or proteolipoprotein (PLP) in adjuvant. EAE is a disease mediated by T cells, and the passive transfer of T cells reactive with MBP or PLP is sufficient to induce the disease. Experimental relapsing-remitting autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE) is induced in SJL / J mice by immunization with the immunodominant epitope on the proteolipid protein (PLP139-151) or by adoptive transfer of CD4 + T cells specific for PLP139-151 ( McRac et al., J. Neuroimmun ol. (1992) 38: 229). Clinical disease is characterized by an acute paralytic phase followed by recovery and subsequent relapses. This pattern of relapse and spontaneous recovery in the experimental animal model, which occurs over a period of weeks to months, is very similar to the clinical signs of the disease observed in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), in many years. The method according to this aspect of the invention comprises the administration to a patient affected with MS of an effective amount of an agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the agent is administered in an amount sufficient to reduce the frequency or severity of the relapse of the disease. When administered during the remission phase at doses of 0.3 to 1.0 mg / kg i.p., the proteasome inhibitor 3b reduces the proportion and severity of relapse in the R-EAE model (Figures 1-2). In a second aspect, the invention provides a method for treating asthma. Asthma is an obstructive disease of the lungs characterized by hyper-responsiveness of the respiratory tract, which is an exaggerated narrowing of the airways in response to many different stimuli, such as histamine, exercise, cold air and allergens . Due to the constriction in episodes of the bronchial tubes, the treatment has been partially based on bronchodilation by ß-adrenergic agonist drugs. More recently, however, it has come to be appreciated that asthma is a chronic condition of the airways that involve many types of inflammatory cells and. the release of many mediators and neurotransmitters that have multiple effects on the various target cells in the respiratory tract. The degree and extent of inflammation in the wall of the respiratory tract are largely related to the clinical severity of asthma. The inflammatory response of asthma consists of the activation of mast cells residing in the respiratory tract, increased numbers of lymphocytes
(which are mainly CD4 + T lymphocytes) and an infiltration with eosinophils, which seem to degranulate. The increased total eosinophil count in the peripheral blood is almost invariably present unless it is suppressed by corticosteroids or sympathomimetic drugs. The sputum examination also reveals eosinophils. Several animal models have been developed to study pulmonary inflammation with characteristic manifestations of eosinophilia of the respiratory tract. One of the animal models frequently used is coballo sensit with ovalbumin (Dunn et al., Am. Rev. Respir Dis. (1990) 142: 680; Sanjar et al., Br. J. Pharmacol. (1990) 99: 679; Gulbenkian et al., Am. Rev. Respir Dis. (1990) 142: 680). Selective accumulation of neutrophils and eosinophils has also been described in acutely sensit Brown Norway rats (Kips et al., Am. Rev. Respir Dis. (1992) 145: 1306; Richards et al., Agents Actions. Suppl. 34 (1991) 34: 359; Chapman et al., Am. J. Resp. Crit. Care Med (1996) 153; A219). The allergen-induced pulmonary eosinophilia in actively sensit Brown Norway rats is inhibited by the steroid dexamethasone. Glucocorticoid therapy remains one of the most effective anti-inflammatory treatments available, and these drugs have been shown to reduce pulmonary eosinophilia in asthmatic patients (Holgate et al., Int.Arch.Allergy Appl. Immunol. (1991) 94: 210). The method according to this aspect of the invention comprises the administration to an affected patient with asthma, an effective amount of an agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the agent is administered in an amount sufficient to reduce the frequency or severity of asthmatic attacks. When administered intratracheally one hour before and 24 hours and 48 hours after challenge with the allergen, 3b (0.1 or 0.3 mg / kg) inhibited eosinophilia in actively sensit Brown Norway rats (Figures 3 and 4). Further contemplated within the scope of the invention, is administration combined with another drug or drugs used to treat asthma. Currently accepted therapies for asthma include cromoglycate, nedrocromil, theophylline, short-acting and long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonists, and inhaled or oral glucocorticoids. The most recently developed therapeutics include inhibitors of leukotriene biosynthesis, leukotriene receptor antagonists, and thromboxane antagonists. Anti-IL-5 and anti-IgE antibodies are being developed (Sci in ce (1997) 276: 1643), and antisense procedures are also being investigated (Nyce and Metzger, Na t ure (1997) 383: 721). In a preferred embodiment, the agent of the invention is used in an amount sufficient to reduce the dose or frequency of treatment required for the other drug or drugs. In another preferred embodiment, the other drug or drugs are used in an amount sufficient to reduce the dose or frequency of treatment required for the agent of the invention. The agent can be administered at the same time as the other drug or drugs, or it can be administered at a different time. Steroid therapy is particularly effective for the treatment of asthma, and is an essential therapy line for severe asthmatics. Unfortunately, however, a number of unwanted side effects result from long-term steroid use, including suppression of bone growth, adrenal insufficiency, Cushing's syndrome, cataracts, immunosuppression, and excessive contusions. Many of these effects can be minim by topical administration of the drug to the lung, by inhalation. However, high doses, such as those required in severe cases, result in significant systemic exposure and an increase in associated collateral increases. The drugs that allow the reduction in the steroid dose ("steroid shortage") thus offers very real clinical benefit. Unexpectedly, it has been found that intratracheal administration of 3b (0.03 or 0.1 mg / kg) in combination with the glucocorticoid budesonide (0.1 mg / kg) 1 hour before and 24 hours and 48 hours after challenge with the allergen inhibits eosinophilia in Brown Norway rats actively sensitized (Figures 5-6). 'Surprisingly, no drug was effective when administered alone at these doses, suggesting the synergistic action of the two drugs. In a third aspect, the invention provides methods for treating an affected patient with asthma, which comprises administering to the patient a combination of a glucocorticoid and an agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitor, inhibitors of the ubiquitin, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof. The glucocorticoid and the agent can be administered at the same or at different times, on the same or different days, and with the same or different frequency. Preferably, the doses of each drug are spaced apart to achieve a combined physiological effect. Preferably, the glucocorticoid is administered between 0 minutes and about one month before or after the inhibiting agent, more preferably between 0 minutes and about one week before or after the agent of the invention, more preferably between 0 minutes and 24 hours before or after the agent of the invention. Glucocorticoids for use in the invention include, but are not limited to, flunisolide, triamcinolone acetonide, beclomethasone dipropionate, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, fluticasone propionate, budesonide, hydrocortisone, prednisone, prednisolone, mometasone, tipredane, and butixicort. Preferably, the glucocorticoid is budesonide. Suitable formulations, dosages and routes of administration for glucocorticoids are known in the art (Physi ci an 's Desk Reference, 51 Edition, 1997, Medical Economics: Montvale, NJ).
In certain preferred embodiments, the agent of the invention is administered in an amount sufficient to reduce the dose Q the frequency of treatment required for the glucocorticoid. Preferably, the amount of glucocorticoid administered does not exceed the standard recommended dose, and more preferably the amount of glucocorticoid administered is less than the standard dose recommended for the drug, when administered alone. In certain preferred embodiments, the amount of glucocorticoid administered is sufficient to reduce the dose or frequency of treatment required for the agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof. More preferably, the treatment of a patient afflicted with asthma with a combination of a glucocorticoid and an agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof produce efficacy with few or fewer severe side effects or less toxicity than treatment with the drug alone. In a fourth aspect, the invention provides the pharmaceutical compositions comprising a combination of a glucocorticoid and an agent selected from the group consisting of proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and mixtures thereof, are further contemplated within the scope of the invention. The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be provided in unit dosage form. In a preferred embodiment, the unit dosage form contains an amount of glucocorticoid that is less than its recommended standard dose, when administered alone. The following description of non-limiting examples of suitable proteasome inhibitors, inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway, and agents that interfere with the activation of NF-? B by means of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, apply to pharmaceutical formulations as well. as to the methods according to the invention.

Acad. Sci. USA (1994) 91: 3358; Fenteany et al., O96 / 32105; Soucy et al., U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 08 / 912,111, filed on 8/15/97)). The agents described herein can be administered by any route, including intradermally, intraperitoneally, intranasally, itratracheally, subcutaneously, orally or intravenously.

Non-limiting examples of inhibitors of the ubiquitin pathway include those described in Berleth et al., Bi och em. 35 (5): 1664-1671 (1996). Inhibitors of I? B-a phosphorylation are also known (Chen, Cel l 84: 853 (1996); Chen, US Patent Application No. 08 / 825,559). The concentration of a described compound in a pharmaceutically acceptable mixture will vary depending on various factors, including the dose of the compound to be administered, the pharmacokinetic characteristics of the compound (s) employed, and the route of administration.
The effective amounts of the agents for treating multiple sclerosis, asthma or rheumatoid arthritis would be broadly in the range between about 10 μg and about 50 μg per kg of body weight of a mammalian patient. The agent can be administered in a single dose or in repeated doses. The treatments may be administered daily or more frequently depending on a number of factors, including the age and general health of a patient, and the formulation of the route of administration of the selected compound (s). Other factors that will be considered in the determination of the dose include the type of concurrent treatment, if any; the frequency of the treatment and the nature of the desired effect; the degree of tissue damage; the sex the duration of the symptoms; the contraindications, if any; and other variables that are going to be evaluated by the individual doctor. In certain preferred embodiments, the concentration of the proteasome inhibitor is determined by measuring the activity of the proteasome ex vi ve after administering the proteasome inhibitor to the mammal. Such measurement comprises obtaining one or more biological test samples from a mammal at one or more specified times after administration of the proteasome inhibitor; the measurement of proteasome activity in the biological sample or in the samples; determining the amount of proteasome activity in the sample or biological samples tested; and comparing the amount of proteasome activity in the biological sample tested to that in a biological reference sample obtained from a mammal to which the proteasome inhibitor has not been administered. Biological samples that are obtained from the mammal may include, without limitation, blood, urine, organ and tissue samples. In certain preferred embodiments, the biological sample is a blood sample, more preferably a blood sample from which the white blood cells are isolated before measuring proteasome activity. Methods for fractionating blood cells are known in the art and are further described in the examples. Hemoglobin strongly interferes with fluorescence measurements and is thus preferably excluded from test samples when fluorometric assays are used for proteasome activity. Once fractionated, the white blood cells are used by standard procedures. The variability in lysis efficiency can be corrected by determining the total protein content in the sample, using standard procedures and normalizing the proteasome activity measured in the sample in relation to the protein content in the sample. Preferably, a substrate having a detectable level is provided to the reaction mixture and the proteolytic cleavage of the substrate is checked periodically following the disappearance of the substrate or the appearance of a cleavage product. The detection of the marker can be achieved, for example, by fluorometric, colorimetric and radiometric assay. More preferably, the substrate is a peptide substrate and the reaction mixture further comprises a 20S proteasome activator. preferably, the activator is one shown in Coux et al.
(Ann.Rev. Biochem. 65: 801-847 (1995)), more preferably PA28 or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS). Preferably, the peptide substrate contains a cleavable fluorescent label and the release of the label is periodically verified by fluorometric assay. More preferably, the substrate is N-succinyl-leucyl-valyl-tyrosyl-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Suc-Leu-Leu-Val-Tyr-AMC). The activity measured in the biological test samples is compared to that measured in a biological reference sample obtained from a mammal to which the inhibitor has not been administered. In some preferred embodiments, the biological test sample and the reference biological sample each separately comprise a plurality of combined samples from a group of mammals, preferably mice, undergoing treatment. In other preferred embodiments, the biological test sample and the reference biological sample each comprise a simple sample obtained from an individual mammal. The testing of individual samples is currently preferred except when it is impractical due to the small size of the mammal. In some preferred embodiments, a statistical sample is obtained by combining the data from the individual biological test samples or the individual reference biological samples. The day-to-day variability in the test can result from factors such as differences in buffer solutions, operator variability, variability in instrument performance, and temperature variability. Such variability can be minimized by standardizing the proteasome activity in the biological sample and in the reference sample relative to a standard proteasome sample. In certain preferred embodiments, the standard sample comprises the purified 20S proteasome, more preferably the purified 20S proteasome from rabbit reticulocytes. In some preferred embodiments, the reference sample is obtained from the mammal treated before the start of treatment. This modality is currently preferred for higher mammals, in order to minimize the impact of inter-mammals variability. The clinical verification of the action of the drug preferably involves, currently, this modality of the invention, with each patient serving as its own baseline control.
A decrease in the inhibitory activity in the biological sample, in comparison to the reference sample, is indicative of an inhibitory effect of the inhibitor at the time in which the biological sample was obtained. In some preferred embodiments, biological samples are obtained at multiple time points after administration of the inhibitor. In these embodiments, the measurement of proteasome activity in the biological samples provides an indication of the extent and duration of the inhibitory effect of the inhibitor. In certain other preferred embodiments, multiple biological samples are obtained from a single mammal at one or more time points. In these embodiments, the measurement of the proteasome activity in the biological samples provides an indication of the distribution of the inhibitor in the mammal. In certain preferred embodiments, the amount of dose and the dose frequency of the proteasome inhibitor are selected to avoid excessive inhibition of the proteasome. In some embodiments, excessive inhibition of proteasome results in a toxic effect, the toxic effect includes, but is not limited to, vomiting, diarrhea, hypovolemia, hypotension and lethality. Preferably, the amount of dose and the dose frequency of the proteasome inhibitor are selected such that the inhibition of proteasome in any future biological sample does not exceed about 95%. In certain other preferred embodiments, the amount of dose and the dose frequency of the proteasome inhibitor are selected such that proteasome inhibition is achieved., therapeutically useful. Preferably, therapeutically useful proteasome inhibition results in an antitumor, antiinflammatory, antiviral and antiparasitic, therapeutically beneficial effect. Preferably, the dose amount and the dose frequency of the proteasome inhibitor are selected such that the proteasome inhibition is at least about 15%, preferably about 20%, more preferably about 30%, even more preferably about 40%, and still more preferably about 50%, and most preferably from about 50% to about 80%, is achieved in a future biological sample, although in some cases inhibition of proteasome as high as 95% may be preferred. Agents for the use of this invention can be prepared for administration by any of the methods well known in the pharmaceutical art, for example, as described in Remington Pharmaceuticals Scells (Marek Pub. Co., Easton, PA, 1980). The agents can be prepared for use in parenteral administration in the form of liquid solutions or suspensions; for oral administration in the form of tablets or capsules; for intranasal or intratracheal administration in the form of powders, gels, oily solutions, nasal drops, aerosols, or mists. Formulations for parenteral administration may contain common excipients such as sterile water or sterile saline, polyalkylene glycols such as polyethylene glycol, oils of vegetable origin, hydrogenated naphthalenes, and the like. The controlled release of an agent can be obtained, in part, by the use of biocompatible, biodegradable, lactide polymers, and lactide / glycolide or polyoxyethylene / polyoxypropylene copolymers. Additional parenteral administration systems include ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer particles, osmotic pumps, implantable infusion systems, and liposomes. Formulations for administration by inhalation may contain lactose, polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether, glycocholate or deoxycholate. For the treatment of asthma, the route of administration by inhalation is preferred in order to minimize potential side effects or toxicity resulting from systemic exposure to the agent. According to the present invention, an "effective amount" of an agent is an amount sufficient to produce any improvement of any symptom or sign of the disease (Sites et al., Ba si c &Cl ini cal Immunol ogy Lange Medical Publications, Los Altos, California, 1982). The use of any of the agents described herein in combination with another agent or agents used in the treatment of multiple sclerosis or asthma is further contemplated within the scope of the present invention.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Experimental Relapsed-Remission Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis
Materials and methods
Mice 6-week-old SJL / J female mice were purchased from Harlan Laboratories (Indianapolis, IN), housed in the Northwestern animal care facility, and maintained in a standard laboratory with food and water ad libitum. The paralyzed mice were given easier access to food and water. Peptides PLP139-151 '(HSLGK LGHPDKF) was purchased from Peptides International (Louisville, KY). The amino acid composition was verified by mass spectrometry and the purity (> 98%) was evaluated by HPLC. Induction of R-EAE. Mice were immunized by subcutaneous injection of PLP139-151 in complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) as previously described (McRae et al., J. Neuroimmunol. (1992) 38: 229). Each mouse received 50 μg of PLP139-151 distributed over 2 sites on each hind flank. Tra tami on to Drug. Beginning on day 22, the animals (10 per group) were dosed once daily i.p. (5 ml / kg) with vehicle or with 3b (0.3 or 1.0 mg / kg). Treatment continued until day 40. Clinical evaluation. Mice were observed daily for clinical signs of the disease. The mice were classified according to their clinical severity as follows: grade 0, without abnormality; grade 1, flaccid tail; grade 2, flaccid tail and weakness of hind legs (wavering gait); grade 3, partial paralysis of hind legs; grade 4, complete paralysis of the hind legs; and grade 5, dying.
Results
The data are graphically plotted as the daily, mean clinical score for all the animals in a particular treatment group (Figure 1). A relapse was defined as an increase of at least one full degree in the clinical score after the animal had previously improved at least one complete clinical score and had stabilized. Animals treated with 3b (both groups of doses) showed reduced clinical scores compared to animals treated with vehicle. The incidence of relapse was 5/10 for the group of 0.3 mg / kg and 2/10 for the group of 1.0 mg / kg, compared to 6/10 for the group treated with vehicle. The data are also treated graphically as the average incidence of daily relapse for all animals in a particular treatment group (Figure 2). The average maximum clinical score per group is also provided as an indication of the severity of the disease. Animals treated with 3b (both groups of doses) showed reduced relapse rate and reduced severity of the disease compared to animals treated with vehicle.

After recovery, sensitized animals were restrained in plastic tubes and exposed for 60 minutes to an OA aerosol (10 mg / ml) using a nose-only exposure system. The animals were sacrificed 72 hours later with pentobarbital (250 mg / kg, i.p.). Analysis . The lungs were washed using 3 aliquots of 4 ml in Hank's solution (HBSS X 10, 100 ml, 100 mM EDTA, 100 ml, 1M HEPES, 10 ml graduated to 11 ml with water); the recovered cells were recovered and the total volume of the recovered fluid was adjusted to 12 ml by the addition of Hank's solution. The total cells were counted (Sysmex Counter Microcell F-500, TOPA Medical Electronics Ltd., Japan). Smears were made by diluting the recovered fluid
(up to approximately 10 6 cells / ml) and centrifuging a 100 μl aliquot in a centrifuge (Cytospin, Shandon, UK). The smears were air-dried, fixed using a solution of bright green in methanol (2 mg / liter) for 5 seconds and stained with eosin G (5 seconds) and thiazine (5 seconds) (Diff-Quik, Baxter Dade Ltd ., Switzerland) in order to differentiate eosinophils, neutrophils, macrophages and lymphocytes. A total of 500 cells were counted per smear by light microscopy under immersion oil

Results
The challenge with ovalbumin resulted in a significant increase in eosinophils, neutrophils, and total leukocytes in the BAS fluid from Brown Norway rats treated with vehicle (V) actively sensitized, as compared to the untreated, clean rats (N ). At doses of 0.03 mg / kg (A) and 0.1 mg / kg (B), 3b failed to prevent this increase. At a dose of 0.1 mg / kg (C), budesonide also had no effect when administered alone. However, the combination of 0.1 mg / kg of budesonide with 3b at 0.03 mg / kg of (D) or 0.1 mg / kg of (E) produced a significant reduction in the eosinophil count. The statistically significant reduction in the neutrophil count was achieved only in group (D) at 0.1 / 0.03 mg / kg. At a higher dose (0.5 mg / kg, group F), treatment with budesonide alone was effective in preventing the increase in eosinophils, neutrophils, and total leukocytes, and the combination of budesonide (0.5 mg / kg) with 0.03 mg was also effective. / kg of (G) or 0.1 mg / kg of (H) of 3b (Figures 5-6).
conclusion
The combination of compound 3b with the glucocorticoid budesonide is effective in preventing the leukocyte influx after challenge with the allergen in an animal model of asthma at doses where no drug only had any effect.

Example 6: Pharmacokinetics of the acid N- (rubric) carbonyl-L-phenol to the anin-L-l eucin-Boron (1) in Rats and Primates
A simple dose intravenous pharmacokinetic study with N- (pyrazine) carbonyl-L-phenylalanine-L-leucine-boronic acid (1) was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats (140 to 280 g weight). The animals were assigned to 3 groups (6 / sex in groups 1 and 2; 9 / group sex 3). Animals in groups 1, 2 and 3 received 0.03, 0.1 or 0.3 mg / kg of 1, respectively, in the same dose volume. Blood samples (approximately 1.0 ml) were collected from the jugular vein of the predose animals and approximately 10 and 30 minutes and 1, 3 and 24 hours after the dose on day 1. The samples were evaluated for 1 using a method of chromatography / mass spectroscopy (LC / MS / MS). The lower limit of the quantification for analysis was set at 2.5 ng / ml for 1 in rat plasma and whole blood. After single intravenous doses, plasma whole blood levels of 1 were only measured at a dose level of 0.3 mg / kg. The observed Cmax occurred at the first time point; therefore, the time to peak concentration (Tmax) was estimated as 10 minutes in the male and female rats. The males in general had slightly higher peak concentration (Cma?) And slightly higher values of the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-t) than the females. The Cmax values in plasma and whole blood in males were 51.8 and 22.7 ng / ml, respectively, and in females were 36.9 and 19.1 ng / ml, respectively. The values of AuC0-t in whole blood plasma in males were 14.0 and 18.6 ng * h / ml, respectively, and in females were 12.9 and 17.7 ng * h / ml, respectively. The estimation of the elimination half-life (t? / 2) was not possible due to the fluctuation of the levels of compound 1 during the terminal phase. Observations suggest that 1 is rapidly cleared of blood.
Example 7; Preparation of blood samples for the measurement of the proteasome actiVity 20S
This method of preparation applies to blood samples collected from mammals, particularly human subjects, Cynomologus monkeys, rats and mice. Peripheral white blood cells are separated from blood samples after collection for storage at approximately -70 ° C until tested. To prevent interference with the fluorescence assay, it is important that the sample preparation remove all of the hemoglobin.
PROCESS
The required amount of blood is collected in a tube containing anticoagulant.
For human and primate subjects, approximately 5 ml of blood is required; for rats, approximately 4 ml of blood is needed; for mice, approximately 1 ml of blood is needed from each of the five mice, and all five blood samples are combined to provide approximately 5 ml. The blood sample is diluted 1: 1 (v / v) with sterile saline, the blood-saline mixture is layered on about 1 ml of NycoprepMR separation medium (GIBCO BRL Products) in a polystyrene test tube 14 of 75 mm. The sample is centrifuged at 500 g for about 30 minutes at room temperature. The upper layer is removed, leaving approximately 2 to 3 mm of the cellular band between the upper and lower layers. The remaining cell band is transferred by pipette to a clean centrifuge tube. The cell band is washed with 3 ml of cold saline buffered with phosphate and centrifuged at 400 x g for 5 minutes at 4 ° C. The supernatant is emptied and the button is resuspended in approximately 1 ml of cold phosphate-buffered saline. The suspension is transferred to a 1.5 ml Eppendorf microcentrifuge tube and microcentrifuged at 6600 x g for approximately 10 minutes at 4 ° C. The supernatant is aspirated and the cell button is stored at -70 ° C.
Example 8: Assay for Measuring 20S Proteasome Acivity in Peripheral White Blood Cells
The assay is based on activity similar to chymotrypsin inducible by SDS of free 20S particles. It uses fluorometry to measure the rate at which the 20S proteasome hydrolyzes an amide bond in a small peptide substrate. The measurement of this speed in the absence and presence of an inhibitor allows a determination of how the enzyme is linked by the inhibitor. This assay is used to measure 20S proteasome activity in peripheral white blood cells in mammals, particularly humans, Cynomolgus monkeys, rats and mice.

PROCESS
White blood cells, prepared as described in Example 1, are used by the addition of 200 μl of 5 mM EDTA to each sample. Samples are left to stand on ice for at least 1 hour. The substrate Ys is dissolved in DMSO. The standard purified 20S proteasome from mouse reticulocytes is diluted 1: 9 (v / v) in 20 mM HEPES / 0.5-mM EDTA (pH 7.8). The Ys substrate buffer contains 20 mM HEPES, 0.5 mM EDTA, 0.35% SDS, and 60 μM Ys substrate. The Coomassie protein assay (measurement of total protein content) and the hemoglobin assay are performed on the test sample following standard procedures using commercially available equipment. The amount of white blood cell protein present is calculated according to the following formula:
CSB protein (μg mL) = total protein (μg / mL) - [hemoglobin (μg mL) = 0.56]
The 20S proteasome standard is diluted 1:10 in 20 mM HEPES / 0.5 mM EDTA (pH 7.8) to form a stock solution of 12 μg / mL and placed on ice. 10 μL of the standard 20S proteasome solution is added to a cuvette and the reaction is run for 10 minutes. The maximum linear slope is measured on a florometer and provides a measurement of the standard proteasome activity. 5 μl of a test sample are added to a cuvette containing 2 mL of Ys substrate buffer at 37 ° C, and the reaction is allowed to run for 10 minutes. Complete activation of the 20S proteasome is achieved in 10 minutes. Consistent results are obtained for the readings taken after 3 minutes and up to 10 minutes. The maximum linear slope for at least 1 minute of data is measured in a fluorometer. If the velocity is less than 1 pmol of AMC / sec, the measurement is repeated using 10 μl of the test sample. The amount of 20S proteasome activity in the test sample is calculated according to the following formula:
Activity of 20S (pmol / s) = Speed (FU / min) x calibration YS (pmol / FU) 0.0001 * protein CSB (mg) * 60 s / min
Example 9: Negativeness of Proteasome Activity in Blood Cells The Human Peripheral Blood Cells
Blood samples (approximately 2 mL each) were obtained on five occasions from five human volunteers in a period of ten weeks. After harvesting, the white blood cells were isolated from individual blood samples using a Nycoprop ™. The resulting pellet or button was stored in a tight freezer to maintain -60 ° C to -80 ° C until the day of the test. The samples collected on each occasion were tested together, and each sample was tested in duplicate. The 20S proteasome activity was determined by measuring the rate of proteolytic hydrolysis of a peptide substrate by labeling with fluorescent (AMC), by sample and normalizing activity to the amount of cell-specific protein present in the lysate, as described in Example 2 above. The 20S proteosome activity in the sample was determined from the equation:
S proteasome activity (pmol (FU / sec) / (5 x 10"6 mL) (μg protein / L) AMC / sec / mg protein)
where C = conversion factor that equals the amount of fluorescence at the concentration of free AMC (FU / pmol AMC).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The individual test data and the average +/- standard error mean (SEM) for each sample are presented in Appendix A. The values of the average 20S proteasome activity found for each human volunteer were in the range of 10.73 to 14.79 AMC / sec / mg of protein (Table 1 and Figure 1). The average 20S proteasome activity found in the population was 12.12 +/- 0.81 pmol ADC / sec / mg protein with the individual values observed in the range of 53% to 165% of the average value. A test was performed in duplicate in each sample. The variation in the test duplicates (% SEM) after five days of testing was 9.9%, 11.9%, 10.3%, 8.2% and 9.5%. For duplicates of individual tests this was in the range of 0.8% to 22.9%. The average variation between test duplicates up to four days of testing was 10.0%. In addition, the development of the test to reduce variation is in progress.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
The dose formulations of 1 were prepared daily during the course of the study. The dilutions were prepared from a stock solution. The stock solution of 1 was constituted in 98% saline solution (0.9%), 2% ethanol with 0.1% ascorbic acid. The dilutions of the reserve were made in the same vehicle. Female CD2-F1 mice (18 to 20 g), female BALB / c mice (18 to 20 g), female Wistar rats (150 to 200 g) and male Sprague-Dawley rats (250 to 450 g) were obtained from Taconic Farms (Germantown, NY). The animals were observed for at least a week and examined for general health before the start of the study. The animals used in these studies were asymptomatic. The mice were housed 5 per cage and the rats 3 per cage in polycarbonate cages. A Corn Cob bed (AND-1005; Farmers Exchange, Framingham, MA) was used during the observation and study periods. Fluorescent lighting was controlled to automatically provide alternate cycles of light and dark of approximately 12 hours each. The temperature and humidity were centrally controlled and recorded daily, and the readings were in the range between 21 +/- 2 ° C and 45 +/- 5 ° C, respectively. The standard rodent food pellets (# 5001, Purina, St. Louis, MO) were available ad libitum throughout the observation and study periods. Water from the key of the City of Cambridge was provided by water bottles ad libi t um. There are no known food and water contaminants that could be expected to interfere with the study. The drugs were administered intravenously (IV) using a dose volume of 100 μl per mouse or 1.9 ml / kg in rats. The control groups were administered with the vehicle (98% saline [0.9%], 2% ethanol, 0.1% ascorbic acid). The animals were dosed with 1 as a single bolus given either once or on multiple occasions. The animals that show dying activity were sacrificed with inhalation with C02. After IV dosing with 1, blood was withdrawn at various time points and peripheral white blood cells were isolated. The tissues collected were brain, colon, liver, muscle (gastrocnemius), prostate and testes.
Proteasome Activity 20s g Vi vo Determined In
Peripheral White Blood Cells of Mice,
After the simple intravenous administration of 1
In two combined studies, female CD2-F1 mice (18 to 20 g) and BALB / c female mice (18 to 20 g) were given a single intravenous dose of 1 (0.1 to 30 mg / kg in one volume). of 100 μL dose).
The vehicle was 98% saline [0.9%], 2% ethanol, 0.1% ascorbic acid. Blood samples were collected at 1.0 and 24 h after administration. Due to the volume of blood required in the 20S proteasome activity assay, groups of five mice were sacrificed at the same time and their blood was combined to generate simple data points.
There was a significant dose-related decrease (p <0.05) in 20S proteasome activity for all dose groups at 1.0 h after intravenous administration of 1 (Figure 1) which begins to recover at 24 h (Figure 1). 2) . These studies demonstrated a reversible and dose-dependent inhibition of 20S proteasome activity in mouse peripheral white blood cells, after administration of a single intravenous injection of 1.
Activity of Proteasome 20s Ex Vi Vo determined in Cell, as Peripheral White Sanguineas of Rats,
After the simple intravenous administration of 1
In four combined studies, female Wistar rats (150 to 200 g) were administered with a single intravenous dose of 1 (0.03 to 0.3 mg (kg in a dose volume of 1.0 mL / kg) .The vehicle was 0.1% of ascorbic acid / 2% ethanol / 98% saline solution (0.9%) Blood samples were collected at 1.0, 24 and 48 h after the administration of 1. There was a significant dose-related decrease (p <0.05) in the 20S proteasome activity at 1.0 h after intravenous administration of 1 (Figure 3) Twenty-four hours after administration, the dose-related decreases in 20S proteasome activity were smaller, but remained significant (p <0.05) in the highest-dose groups (0.2 mg / kg (Figure 4).) At 48 h after administration, the 20S proteasome activity was no longer significantly decreased (Figure 5). they showed an inhibition depending of the dose and reversible 20S proteasome activity in the peripheral white blood cells of rats, after the administration of a simple intravenous injection of 1. A smaller rate of return to the baseline for the levels of proteasome activity 20S was observed in rats, possibly indicating the fastest metabolism of 1 in mice.
20s Proteasome Activity Ex Vivo Determined In
Peripheral White Blood Cells of Rats After
Of the Iintravenous Administration Repeated 1
When compound 1 was administered intravenously daily for 7 days, a dose-related decrease in activity of the 20S proteasome was observed 24 h after the last dose was administered. Significant inhibition was observed for the 0.05 mg / kg doses. The degree of inhibition of 20S proteasome observed 24 h after the administration of 7 daily intravenous doses, was higher than that observed 24 h after the administration of a single intravenous dose and probably reflects a cumulative effect of daily administration of 1 on its objective biological, the proteasome. A significant dose-related decrease in 20S proteasome activity was observed 24 h after the last dose administration for alternate daily intravenous administration of compound 1 for 14 days. The dose-related decreases in 20S proteasome activity were significant (p <0.05) in the dose groups 0.2 mg / kg. A significant dose-related decrease was also observed (p >0.05) in the 20S proteasome activity, 24 h after the administration of the last dose for intravenous administration once a week of compound 1 for 8 weeks. The dose-related decreases in protease activity at 20S were significant (p <0.05) in the dose groups > 0.1 mg / kg. In a fourth repeated dose study, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250 to 450 g, n = 6 per group) were treated with intravenous doses, twice a week, of compound 1 (0.01 to 0.35 mg / kg / day). in a dose volume of 1.0 mL / kg) for two weeks. The vehicle was 0.1% ascorbic acid / 2% ethanol / 98% saline (0.9%). Blood samples were collected 1 h after the last dose for the evaluation of 20S proteasome activity. When administered 1 twice a week for 2 weeks (a total of 4 doses), a dose-related decrease in 20S proteasome activity was observed one hour after the last dose (Figure 6). The dose-related decreases in 20S proteasome activity were significant (p <0.05) for all dose groups 0.03 mg / kg. The results indicate that administration of repeated dose of 1 causes a dose-related decrease in 20S proteasome activity in white blood cells of rats. The degree of inhibition of 20S proteasome activity is greater than that observed after a single dose when administered 1 daily or every third day. When the interval between doses of 1 is increased to allow recovery (eg, once-a-week regimens), the degree of inhibition equivalent to the simple administration of 1. The pharmacokinetic profile supports dosing twice a week with 1, where transient inhibition is observed.
Proteasome Activity 20s Ex Vi, Determined in Rat Tissues After Repeated Intravenous Administration of 1
In two studies, female Wistar rats (150 to 200 g) were given a single intravenous dose of 1 (0.03, 0.1 and 0.3 mg / kg / in a dose volume of 1.0 mL / kg). The vehicle was 0.1% ascorbic acid / 2% ethanol / 98% saline (0.9%). Liver and brain tissue samples were collected at 1.0, 24 and 48 h after administration for the evaluation of 20S proteasome activity. There was a significant dose-related decrease (p <0.05) in 20S proteasome activity in rat liver at 1.0 h after intravenous administration of 1. Twenty-four hours after administration, dose-related decreases in the activity of proteasome 2 OS were smaller, but remained significant (p <0.05) in the high dose group, 0.3 mg / kg. At 48 h after the administration, the 20S proteasome activity in the rat liver had returned to baseline. The degree of inhibition of the 20S proteasome in the liver returned to baseline levels faster than that observed for peripheral white blood cells. No inhibition of 20S proteasome was observed in the brain tissue, reflecting the lack of penetration of 1 into this tissue. In a third study, rats were administered
Male Sprague-Dawley (250 to 450 g) with a single intravenous dose of 1 (0.1 and 0.3 mg / kg in a dose volume of 1.0 mL / kg). The vehicle was 0.1% ascorbic acid / 2% ethanol / 98% saline (0.9%). Blood and tissue samples were collected 1.0 h after administration for the evaluation of 20S proteasome activity. The tissues collected were brain, colon, liver, muscle (gastrocnemius), prostate and testes.
Significant dose-related decreases (p <0.05) were observed in 20S proteasome activity in peripheral white blood cells in colon, liver, muscle (gastrocnemius), and prostate at 1.0 h after intravenous administration of 1. No Inhibition of 20S proteasome was observed in brain and testes, reflecting the lack of penetration of 1 into these tissues. Inhibition of 20S proteasome in tissues 1.0 h after administration of the intravenous dose, except for brain and testis, was similar to that observed for peripheral white blood cells.
Activity of Proteasome 2 Ex Vivo Determined in Primates After Simple Intravenous Administration of 1
Male and female Cynomolgus monkeys (from 2.2 to 3.5 kg) were assigned to four groups
(5 / sex / group). Each group received 0 (control with vehicle), 0.045, 0.067 or 0.100 mg / kg / dose of 1 as a single intravenous injection in a dose volume of 0.3 mL / kg twice a week for 4 weeks (days 1, 5 , 8, 12, 15, 19, 22 and 26). The vehicle was 0.1% ascorbic acid / 2% ethanol / 98% saline (0.9%). Three males from the control groups, low and medium dose, two high dose males, and three females / group were sacrificed at the end of treatment on day 27. Two animals / sex / group were designated as animals in recovery and received treatment for 4 weeks followed by 2 weeks of recovery; these were sacrificed on Day 41. Blood was collected for the determination of 20S proteasome activity before treatment, at 1.0 h after dosing on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22, and 1.0 h before the treatment. dosage on Days 5, 12, 19 and 26; and on Days 31, 34, 38 and 41 (recovery animals slaughtered). Blood was also collected for determination of 20S proteasome activity from the high dose male before it was sacrificed in dying condition on day 26 after receiving 8 doses. The determination of 20S proteasome activity in white saline cells, 1.0 h after dosing, revealed a significant and dose-related decrease in enzyme activity that was recovered before subsequent dosing (Figures 7 and 8). The dying animal was found to have low residual 20S proteasome activity in their white blood cells at slaughter at day 26. These data support a twice-weekly treatment regimen for 1, as 20S proteasome levels recover between the doses.
