Description

HETEROCICLES ESTER AND AMID COMPOSITIONS FOR HAIR GROWTH AND USES This request is a partial continuation of the U.S. Patent Application Number 08 / 869,426, filed June 4, 1997, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of alopecia, and to promote hair growth using low molecular weight, small molecule heterocyclic esters or amides. 2. Description of Related Art Hair loss occurs in a variety of situations. These situations include male pattern alopecia, alopecia senilis, alopecia areata, diseases accompanied by basic skin lesions or tumors, and systemic disorders, such as nutritional disorders and internal secretion disorders. The mechanisms that cause hair loss are very complicated, but in some cases, they can be attributed to aging, to the disposition | * «S ^^^^^ i ^ U genetic, to the activation of male hormones, to the loss of blood supply to the hair follicles, and to abnormalities of the scalp. The immunosuppressant drugs FK506, rapamycin and cyclosporin are well known as potent T-cell-specific immunosuppressants, and are effective against graft rejection after organ transplantation. It has been reported that topical, but not oral, application of FK506 (Yamamoto et al., J. Invest. Dermatol., 1994, 102, 160-164; Jiang et al., J. Invest. Dermatol., 1995, 104, 523- 525) and cyclosporin (Iwabuchi et al., J. Dermatol, Sci., 1995, 9, 64-69) stimulates hair growth in a dose-dependent manner. It is known that a form of hair loss, alopecia areata, is associated with autoimmune activities; therefore, it is expected that topically administered immunomodulatory compounds demonstrate efficacy for the treatment of that type of hair loss. The stimulating effects of hair growth of FK506 have been the subject of an international patent presentation covering FK506 and structures related thereto for the stimulation of hair growth (Honbo et al., European Patent Number EP 0423 714 A2). Honbo et al. Report the use of relatively large tricyclic compounds, known for their immunosuppressive effects, as hair revitalizing agents.
The effects of hair growth and revitalization of FK506, and related agents, are disclosed in many United States patents. North America (Goulet et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,258,389; Luly et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,457,111; Goulet et al., U.S. Patent No. 5,532,248; Goulet et al. United States of America Number 5,189,042; and Ok et al., United States Patent 5,208,241; Rupprecht et al., United States Patent Number 5,284,840; Organ et al., United States Patent Number 5,284,877) . These patents claim compounds related to FK506. Although they do not claim methods for hair revitalization, they do disclose the known use of FK506 to effect hair growth. Similar to FK506 (and the variations claimed in the Honbo et al. Patent), the compounds claimed in these patents are relatively large. Furthermore, the patents cited refer to immunomodulatory compounds for use in diseases related to autoimmunity, for which the efficacy of FK506 is well known. Other patents from the United States of America disclose the use of cyclosporin and related compounds * - «* < & amp; amp; jii ^^^^^^ i ^? ^ & * »for the revitalization of hair (Hauer et al., U.S. Patent 5,342,625; Eberle, U.S. Patent Number 5,284,826; Hewitt et al., United States Patent Number 4,996,193). These patents also refer to compounds useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and cite the known use of cyclosporin and related immunosuppressant compounds for hair growth. However, immunosuppressive compounds, by definition, suppress the immune system, and also exhibit other toxic side effects. According to the above, there is a need for small molecule compounds that are not immunosuppressive, which are useful as compounds for revitalizing the hair. Hamilton and Steiner disclose, in U.S. Patent No. 5,614,547, novel pyrrolidine carboxylate compounds, which bind to the immunophilin FKBP12, and stimulate nerve growth, but which lack immunosuppressive effects. In an unexpected way, it has been discovered that these compounds, which are not immunosuppressive, promote hair growth with an effectiveness similar to that of FK506. However, their novel structure of small molecules, and their non-immunosuppressive properties, differentiate them from FK506 and related immunosuppressive compounds found in the prior art.
COMPENDIUM OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of alopecia, or to promote hair growth in an animal, which comprises administering to this animal an effective amount of a heterocyclic ester or amide. The present invention further relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) an effective amount of a heterocyclic ester or amide, for the treatment of alopecia or to promote hair growth in an animal; and (ii) a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The heterocyclic esters and amides used in the methods of the invention, and the pharmaceutical compositions, have an affinity for the FKBP type immunophilins, and do not exert any significant immunosuppressive activity.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a photograph of C57 Black 6 mice before being shaved for the hair regeneration experiment. Figure 2 is a photograph of mice treated with a vehicle after six weeks. Figure 2 shows that less than 3 percent of the shaved area is covered with new hair growth when the vehicle is administered (control). Figure 3 is a photograph of mice treated with 10 μM of GPI 1046, a ligand of neuroimmunophilin FKBP, non-immunosuppressive related, after six weeks. The figure 3 shows the notorious effects of FKBP neuroimmunophilin ligands, where 90 percent of the shaved area is covered with new hair growth. Figure 4 is a photograph of mice treated with μM of GPI 1046, a non-immunosuppressive related neuroimmunophilin ligand FKBP, after six weeks. The figure 4 shows the remarkable ability of the FKBP neuroimmunophilin ligands to achieve essentially complete re-growth of the hair in the shaved area. Figure 5 is a bar graph illustrating the relative hair growth rates for C57 Black 6 treated mice with one vehicle, FK506, and different non-immunosuppressive FKBP neuroimmunophilin ligands, including GPI 1572, 14 days after treatment with each compound identified. Figure 5 demonstrates the notorious early hair growth promoted by a wide variety of non-immunosuppressive FKBP neuroinmunophilin ligands.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions "Alopecia" refers to poor hair growth, and a partial or complete loss of hair, including, without limitation, androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), toxic alopecia, alopecia senilis, alopecia areata, peeling alopecia and trichotillomania. Alopecia results when the pillar cycle is interrupted. The most frequent phenomenon is a shortening of hair growth or anagen phase, due to the cessation of cell proliferation. This results in an early establishment of the catagen phase, and consequently, a large number of hairs in the telogen phase during which the follicles of the dermal papillae separate, and the hair falls out. Alopecia has a number of etiologies, including genetic factors, aging, local and systemic diseases, febrile conditions, mental tensions, hormonal problems, and side effects of drugs. "GPI 1605" refers to a compound of the formula: "GPI 1046" refers to (2S) -1- (3,3-dimethyl-l, 2-dioxopentyl) -2-pyrrolidine-carboxylate of 3- (3-pyridyl) -1-propyl, a compound of the formula : GPl 1312"refers to a compound of the formula: GPl 1572"refers to a compound of the formula: GP 1389"refers to a compound of the formula: "GPl 1511" refers to a compound of the formula: GPl 1234"refers to a compound of the formula: "Isomers" refers to different compounds that have the same molecular formula. "Stereoisomers" are the isomers that differ only in the way that atoms are arranged in space. "Enantiomers" are a pair of stereoisomers that are mirror images that can not be superimposed on one another. "Diastereoisomers" are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other. "Racemic mixture" means a mixture containing equal parts of individual enantiomers. "Non-racemic mixture" is a mixture containing unequal portions of individual enantiomers or stereoisomers. < - .. < -, ... x .-- ,, .. -y * sy.h. .
"Pharmaceutically acceptable salt, ester or solvate" refers to a salt, ester, or solvate of an object compound that possesses the desired pharmacological activity, and that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable. A salt, ester, or solvate can be formed with inorganic acids, such as acetate, adipate, alginate, aspartate, benzoate, benzenesulfonate, bisulfate, butyrate, citrate, camphorrate, camphorsulfonate, cyclopentanpropionate, digluconate, dodecylisulfate, ethanesulfonate, fumarate, glucoheptanoate, gluconate, glycerophosphate, hemisulfate, heptanoate, hexanoate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, iodhydrate, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonate, lactate, maleate, methanesulfonate, naphthylate, 2-naphthalene sulfonate, nicotinate, oxalate, sulfate, thiocyanate, tosylate and undecanoate. Examples of the salts, esters, or base solvates include ammonium salts; alkali metal salts, such as sodium and potassium salts; alkaline earth metal salts, such as calcium and magnesium salts; salts with organic bases, such as dicyclohexylamine salts, - N-methyl-D-glucamine; and salts with amino acids, such as arginine, lysine, etc. Also, groups containing basic nitrogen can be quaternized with agents such as lower alkyl halides, such as methyl, ethyl, propyl and butyl chlorides, bromides and iodides; dialkyl sulfates, such as dimethyl, diethyl, dibutyl, and diamyl sulfates; long chain halides, such as chlorides, t ^^ j¡Í £ ^^^^^^ & ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ jiJi * ^^ K * ¡& z ^^ bromides and iodides of decyl, lauryl, myristyl and stearyl; aralkyl halides, such as benzyl and phenethyl bromides, and others. In this way soluble or dispersible products are obtained in water or oil. "Pillar cycle" refers to the life cycle of hair follicles, and includes three phases: (1) The anagen phase, the period of active growth of the hair that, up to where it refers to the hair of the scalp, lasts approximately three at five years, - (2) the catagen phase, the period when growth stops, and the follicle atrophies, which, as far as the hair of the scalp is concerned, lasts approximately one to two weeks; and (3) the telogen phase, the remaining period when the hair progressively separates and finally falls, which, as far as the hair of the scalp is concerned, lasts for approximately three to four months. Normally 80 to 90 percent of the follicles are in the anagen phase, less than 1 percent in the catagen phase, and the rest in the telogen phase. In the telogen phase, the hair is of a uniform diameter with a slightly bulbous, non-pigmented root. In contrast, in the anagen phase, the hair has a large colored bulb at its root. "Promotion of hair growth" refers to ... i. maintain, induce, stimulate, accelerate, or revitalize hair germination. "Alopecia treatment" refers to: (i) preventing alopecia in an animal that may be predisposed to alopecia; and / or (ii) inhibiting, retarding or reducing alopecia; and / or (iii) promote hair growth; and / or (iv) prolonging the anagen phase of the hair cycle; and / or (v) convert hair to grow as terminal hair. The terminal hair is thick, pigmented, long hair, where the bulb of the hair follicle sits deep in the dermis. The hair, on the other hand, is fine, thin, short and non-pigmented hair, where the hair bulb is located superficially in the dermis. As the alopecia progresses, the hair changes from the terminal type to the hairy type.
Methods of the Present Invention The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of alopecia or to promote hair growth in an animal, which comprises administering to this animal an effective amount of a heterocyclic ester or amide. The method of the invention is particularly useful ; -. *. xtt ^ ^ - ix a .¿ --.- yj * »*. for the treatment of male pattern alopecia, senile alopecia, alopecia areata, alopecia resulting from lesions or skin tumors, alopecia resulting from cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy and radiation, and alopecia resulting from systemic disorders, such as nutritional disorders and disorders of internal secretion.

Affinity for FKBP12 The compounds used in the methods and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention have an affinity for the binding protein of FKB506, particularly FKBP12. Inhibition of the prolyl-peptidyl cis-trans isomerase activity of FKBP can be measured from an indicator of this affinity.
Test procedure K The inhibition of the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity (rotamase) of the compounds used in the methods and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be evaluated by known ones described in the literature (Harding et al., Nature 1989, 341: 758-760; Holt et al., J. Am. Soc., 115: 9923-9938). These values are obtained as the apparent Kx, and are presented for the representative compounds in Table III. The cis-trans isomerization of an alanine-proline bond in a model substrate, N-succinyl-Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe-p- Item. nitroanilide, is monitored spectrophotometrically in an assay coupled with chymotrypsin, which releases para-nitroanilide from the trans form of the substrate. The inhibition of this reaction caused by the addition of different concentrations of inhibitor is determined, and the data are analyzed as a change in the first order index constant as a function of the concentration of the inhibitor to produce the apparent K-values. 950 milliliters of frozen test regulator (25 mM HEPES) are added to a plastic cuvette, pH 7.8, 100 mM NaCl), 10 milliliters of FKBP (2.5 nM in 10 mM Tris-Cl, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM dithioerythritol), 25 milliliters of chymotrypsin (50 milligrams / milliliter in 1 mM HCl. ), and 10 milliliters of the test compound in different concentrations in dimethyl sulfoxide. The reaction is initiated by the addition of 5 milliliters of substrate (succinyl-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-para-nitroanilide, 5 milligrams / milliliter in 2.35 mM LiCl in trifluoroethanol). The absorbance is monitored at 390 nanometers against time for 90 seconds using a spectrophotometer, and the index constants are determined from the absorbance data files against time. j ^ ^ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Route of Administration To effectively treat alopecia, or to promote hair growth, the compounds used in the methods and pharmaceutical compositions of the invention, should easily affect the targeted areas. For these purposes, the compounds are preferably topically administered to the skin. For topical application to the skin, the compounds may be formulated in suitable ointments containing the suspended or dissolved compounds in, for example, mixtures with one or more of the following: mineral oil, liquid petrolatum, white petrolatum, propylene glycol, compound of polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene, emulsifying wax and water. Alternatively, the compounds can be formulated in suitable lotions or creams containing the active compound suspended or dissolved in, for example, a mixture of one or more of the following: mineral oil, sorbitan monostearate, polysorbate 60, wax ethyl ester, cetearyl alcohol, 2-octyldodecanol, benzyl alcohol and water. The present invention also contemplates other routes of administration known in the pharmaceutical art.
Dosage Dosage levels in the range of about 0.1 milligrams to about 10,000 milligrams of the active ingredient compound are useful in the treatment of the above conditions, with levels of about 0.1 milligrams to about 1,000 milligrams being preferred. The specific dose level for any particular patient will vary depending on a variety of factors, including the activity of the specific compound employed; age, body weight, general health, sex and the patient's diet; the time of administration; the rate of excretion; the combination of drugs; the severity of the particular disease being treated; and the form of administration. Normally, dosing-effect results provide a useful guide on the appropriate doses to be administered to the patient. Studies in animal models are also useful. Considerations for determining appropriate dose levels are well known in the art. The compounds can be administered with other agents to revitalize the hair. The specific dose levels for the other hair revitalizing agents will depend on the previously mentioned factors, and on the effectiveness of the drug combination.

Example 3 Live Hair Generation Tests with C57 Black 6 Mice Experiment A: C57 Black 6 mice were used to demonstrate the hair revitalization properties of a non-immunosuppressive, small molecule, low molecular weight FKBP neuroinmunophilin ligand, GPl 1046, which is related to the heterocyclic esters and amides. Referring now to Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, the C57 Black 6 mice, approximately 7 weeks old, had an area of approximately 5 centimeters by 5 centimeters of their shaved hindquarters to remove all existing hair. Care was taken not to pinch or cause abrasion to the underlying dermal layers. The animals were in the anagen growth phase, as indicated by the pink color of the skin. Referring now to Figures 2, 3 and 4, four animals were treated per group by topical administration with 20 percent propylene glycol vehicle (Figure 2), 10 μM GPl 1046 (Figure 3), or 30 μM GPl 1046 (Figure 2). 4) dissolved in the vehicle. The animals were treated with vehicle or GPl 1046 every 48 hours (3 applications in total during the course of five days), and hair growth was allowed to proceed for 6 weeks. Hair growth was quantified by the percentage of the shaved area covered by new hair growth during this period of time.
Figure 2 shows that the vehicle-treated animals exhibited only a small amount of hair growth in patches or tufts, with less than 3 percent of the shaved area covered by the new growth. In contrast, Figure 3 shows that animals treated with 10 μM GPl 1046 exhibited dramatic hair growth, covering more than 90 percent of the shaved area in all animals. In addition, Figure 4 shows that mice treated with 30 μM GPl 1046 exhibited an essentially complete re-growth of hair, and their shaved areas were indistinguishable from those of non-shaved C57 Black 6 mice. Experiment B: C57 Black 6 mice were used to demonstrate the hair revitalization properties of a variety of non-immunosuppressive, small molecule, low molecular weight FKBP neuroimmunophilin ligands, including GPl 1572. C57 Black 6 mice, 55 75 days old, they had an area of approximately 5 centimeters by five centimeters of their shaved hindquarters, to remove all existing hair. Care was taken not to pinch or cause abrasion to the underlying dermal layers. The animals were in the anagen growth phase when they were shaved. Five animals per group were treated by topical administration with vehicle, FK506, or one of the non-immunosuppressive, small molecule, low molecular weight FKBP neuroinmunophilin ligands (GPl 1605, 1046, US x j > . 1312, 1572, 1389, 1511 and 1234), in a concentration of one micromole per milliliter to the shaved area. The animals were treated three times a week, and hair growth was evaluated 14 days after the start of treatment. Hair growth was quantified by the percentage of shaved area covered by the new hair growth, qualified by a blind observer, on a scale of 0 (no growth) to five (a re-growth of full hair in the shaved area) . Figure 5 shows that after 14 days, the animals treated with vehicle exhibited the start of growth in small tufts. In contrast, animals treated with one of the non-immunosuppressive small molecule, low molecular weight FKBP neuroinmunophilin ligands, including GPl 1572, exhibited dramatic hair growth.
