Definitions
- the invention involves the use of P substance antagonists, specifically non-peptide NK1 receptor antagonists, in the treatment of human cancers, explicitly on melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, Hodgkin's-KM-H2 lymphoma, lymphoblastic leukemia, Rhabdomyosarcoma, breast cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma, lung cancer, Ewing's sarcoma and human osteosarcoma.
- P substance antagonists specifically non-peptide NK1 receptor antagonists
- Substance P is a natural undecapeptide from the Tachykinins family and is used for its rapid stimulant action on smooth muscle tissue. More specifically, Substance P is an active pharmacological neuropeptide that is produced in mammals. It was originally isolated in the intestine and possesses an amino acid sequence that has been described by D. F. Veber, in the patent U.S. Pat. No. 4,680,283. The implication of Substance P, like in other Tachykinins, is seen in the physiopathology in a large number of illnesses that are well demonstrated in the bibliography.
- Substance P receptor is a member of the super family of G-protein-coupled receptors.
- the neuropeptide receptor of Substance P (NK-1) is well distributed in the nervous system of mammals (especially in the cerebrum and spinal cord) the circulatory system and in the peripheral tissues (especially in the duodenum and in the jejunum) and is involved in the regulation of diverse biological processes.
- the central and peripheral action of the Tachykinins in mammals have been associated with various inflammatory conditions such as migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and intestinal inflammatory disease, as well as in the mediation of nauseous reflexes, and the regulation of CNS central nervous system disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
- various inflammatory conditions such as migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and intestinal inflammatory disease, as well as in the mediation of nauseous reflexes, and the regulation of CNS central nervous system disorders such as Parkinson's disease.

Abstract
Substance P antagonists and, in particular, non-peptidic NK1 receptor antagonists are useful for the treatment of cancer and, more specifically, human melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, human Hodgkin's lymphoma KM-H2, lymphoblastic leukemia, human rhabdomyosarcoma, human breast carcinoma, human Burkitt's lymphoma, human lung carcinoma, human Ewing's sarcoma, human glioma and human osteosarcoma.
Description
- The present application is a Division of U.S. Ser. No. 11/721,256, filed Sep. 16, 2008, which is a National Phase conversion under 35 U.S.C. §371 of PCT/ES2005/000068, filed Feb. 10, 2005, which claims benefit of priority from Spanish Application No. ES200400424, filed Feb. 11, 2004, the disclosure of which are each incorporated herein by reference. PCT International Application was published in the Spanish language.
- The invention involves the use of P substance antagonists, specifically non-peptide NK1 receptor antagonists, in the treatment of human cancers, explicitly on melanoma, neuroblastoma, glioma, Hodgkin's-KM-H2 lymphoma, lymphoblastic leukemia, Rhabdomyosarcoma, breast cancer, Burkitt's lymphoma, lung cancer, Ewing's sarcoma and human osteosarcoma.
- Substance P is a natural undecapeptide from the Tachykinins family and is used for its rapid stimulant action on smooth muscle tissue. More specifically, Substance P is an active pharmacological neuropeptide that is produced in mammals. It was originally isolated in the intestine and possesses an amino acid sequence that has been described by D. F. Veber, in the patent U.S. Pat. No. 4,680,283. The implication of Substance P, like in other Tachykinins, is seen in the physiopathology in a large number of illnesses that are well demonstrated in the bibliography.
- Substance P receptor is a member of the super family of G-protein-coupled receptors. The neuropeptide receptor of Substance P (NK-1) is well distributed in the nervous system of mammals (especially in the cerebrum and spinal cord) the circulatory system and in the peripheral tissues (especially in the duodenum and in the jejunum) and is involved in the regulation of diverse biological processes.
- The central and peripheral action of the Tachykinins in mammals have been associated with various inflammatory conditions such as migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, and intestinal inflammatory disease, as well as in the mediation of nauseous reflexes, and the regulation of CNS central nervous system disorders such as Parkinson's disease. (Neurosci. Res., 1996, 7, 187-214), anxiety (Can. J. Phys.; 1997, 612-621) and depression (Science, 1998, 281, 1640-1645).
- In the article titled “Tachykinin Receptor and Tachykinin Receptor Antagonists”, by J. Auton, in Pharmacol.; 1993, 13, 23-93, the use of antagonists of Substance P have been evidenced in the treatment of headaches, especially migraines, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, attenuation of the syndrome in the absence of opiates, cardio vascular changes, edemas, such as those provoked by burns, in chronic inflammatory illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, hyperactive bronchials, and other respiratory illnesses including allergic rhinitis, etc.
- Also, U.S. Pat. No. 5,972,938 describes a method for the treatment of a psychoimmunological disorder or psychomotor by way of the administration of an NK1 receptor antagonist.
- The article published in Nature, 2000, 405 (6783), 180-183 details the activity in rats lacking NK-1 receptors and shows a decrease in the beneficial effects of morphine. Consequently, the NK-1 antagonist receptors can be used in the treatment of breaking certain drug addition habits such as those associated with opiates, nicotine as well as in the reduction of abuse and abstinence from the drugs.
- The article in Life Sci.; 2000, 67(9), 985-1001 describes the Astrocytes express functional receptors for various neurotransmitters in the reception of Substance P. The cerebral tumors of malignant glials derived from Astrocytes unchain under the action of the Tachykinins mediating the NK-1 receptors in the secretion of soluble mediators that augment the speed of reproliferation. Consequently, the selective antagonists of NK-1 can be very useful therapeutic agents in the treatment of malignant gliomas and for the treatment of cancer.
- Additionally, the New Journal of Medicine, 1999, 340, 190-195, states that the use of a selective NK1 receptor induces the reduction of vomiting by employing cisplatin.
- In the article published in the International Journal of Cancer by Antal Orosz et al. 1995, 60, 82-87, the use of diverse peptide antagonists in Substance P (SP) is described in the inhibition of the proliferation of lung cancer cells. (Ex. in designated cells NCI-H69). Equally as important is the article published in Cancer Research, 1994, 54, 3602-3610, describing another antagonist of Substance P (SP) as well as other peptides capable of the inhibition of the growth of various in-vitro lines in cancerous lung cells (ex. Designated cells NCI-H510, NCI-H345, and SHP-77).
- The patent EP 773026 (Pfizer) states the use of non-peptide NK1 receptor antagonists in the treatment of breast cancer, particularly in the treatment of small lung cancers in APUdoma, neuro endocrinic tumors, and small extra lung carcinomas.

- This line was maintained in a culture of RPMI 1640 (GIBCO-BRL) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum according to the established cellular culture conditions of the ATCC.
- The cell line was cultivated in 75 ml flasks (Falcon, Germany). Half was refreshed every two days and the cells were treated with trypsin (0.05% and 0.02% EDTA without Ca2+ and Mg2+) every six days. The cells were incubated at a temperature of 37 C in humidified (95% air/5% CO2).
- Treatment with the NK1 receptor antagonists: The solutions of antagonist NK1 receptors (2S,3S)3-([3,5Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methoxy)-2-phenylpiperidine, (L-733,060) (Sigma-Aldrich, U.K.) were dissolved in distilled water containing 0.2% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) before treating the samples. Different concentrations of (2.5 μM to 20 μM) were studied with the objective of determining the IC50.

Titer 96 Aqueous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay, Promega, (USA). - Methods of cellular proliferation: During the experiment, the cultivated cells were broken apart every 4-5 days by way of trypsinization and to test the cell viability the trypan blue method was used. The cells were quantified and cultured in plates of 96 wells each. Each experiment included three plates termed T0, T1 and T2.

- In T0, 20 μl of MTS reagent was immediately added to the wells and the wells were read 90 minutes later. T1 and T2 were treated with different concentrations of (2.5 μM to 20 μM) of L-733,060 and were incubated during a period of 30 hrs. (first cellular duplication) (T1) and 72 hrs.

- To study the proliferation of the cells, 20 μl of MTS reagent was added to each well (T1, T2) 90 min before reading the samples with the plate reader (TECAN Spectra Classic) at 492 nm. The quantity of MTS reagent was measured by testing the optical density, being directly proportional to the number of live cells. Each plate (white, control, and control treated with different concentrations of L-733,060) was performed in triplicate. The experiment was repeated on three different occasions. The concentration to inhibit fifty percent of the cells (IC50) with L-733,060 was calculated on an adequate curve based on the parameters.
