Definitions
- the present invention relates to compounds that are enzyme inhibitors, and more specifically inhibitors of the 11 -beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1 enzyme.
- Insulin is a hormone that modulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Impaired action of insulin (i.e., insulin resistance) results in reduced insulin-induced glucose uptake, oxidation and storage, reduced insulin-dependent suppression of fatty acid release from adipose tissue (i.e., lipolysis), and reduced insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose production and secretion. Insulin resistance frequently occurs in diseases that lead to increased and premature morbidity and mortality. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by an elevation of plasma glucose levels
- Type 1 diabetes also referred to as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (“IDDM”)
- IDDM Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus
- Type 2 diabetes also referred to as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (“NIDDM)
- NIDDM non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus
- insulin resistance is a significant pathogenic factor in the development of hyperglycemia.
- the insulin levels in Type 2 diabetes patients are elevated (i.e., hyperinsulinemia), but this compensatory increase is not sufficient to overcome the insulin resistance.
- Persistent or uncontrolled hyperglycemia in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with increased incidence of macrovascular and/or microvascular complications including atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, stroke, nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy.
- Insulin resistance is a component of the metabolic syndrome.
- diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome have been established. To qualify a patient as having metabolic syndrome, three out of the five following criteria must be met: elevated blood pressure above 130/85 mmHg, fasting blood glucose above 110 mg/dl, abdominal obesity above 40" (men) or 35" (women) waist circumference, and blood lipid changes as defined by an increase in triglycerides above 150 mg/dl or decreased HDL cholesterol below 40 mg/dl (men) or 50 mg/dl (women). It is currently estimated that 50 million adults, in the US alone, fulfill these criteria.
- Type 2 diabetes that population, whether or not they develop overt diabetes mellitus, are at increased risk of developing the macrovascular and microvascular complications of Type 2 diabetes listed above.
- Available treatments for Type 2 diabetes have recognized limitations. Diet and physical exercise can have profound beneficial effects in Type 2 diabetes patients, but compliance is poor. Even in patients having good compliance, other forms of therapy can be required to further improve glucose and lipid metabolism.
- One therapeutic strategy is to increase insulin levels to overcome insulin resistance. This can be achieved through direct injection of insulin or through stimulation of the endogenous insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells.
- Sulfonylureas e.g., tolbutamide and glipizide
- meglitinide are examples of drugs that stimulate insulin secretion (i.e., insulin secretagogues) thereby increasing circulating insulin concentrations high enough to stimulate insulin-resistant tissue.
- insulin and insulin secretagogues can lead to dangerously low glucose concentrations (i.e., hypoglycemia).
- insulin secretagogues frequently lose therapeutic potency over time.
- metformin and phenformin can improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism in diabetic patients.
- the mechanism of action is not well understood. Both compounds can lead to lactic acidosis and gastrointestinal side effects (e.g., nausea or diarrhea).
- Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors can delay carbohydrate absorption from the gut after meals, which can in turn lower blood glucose levels, particularly in the postprandial period. Like biguanides, these compounds can also cause gastrointestinal side effects.
- Glitazones i.e., 5-benzylthiazolidine-2,4-diones
- These agents can reduce insulin resistance in multiple tissues, thus lowering blood glucose. The risk of hypoglycemia can also be avoided.
- Glitazones modify the activity of the Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor ("PPAR") gamma subtype.
- PPAR Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor
- Other modulators of the PPAR family of proteins are currently in development for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes and/or dyslipidemia.
- Marketed glitazones suffer from side effects including bodyweight gain and peripheral edema.
- GLP-I Glucagon-Like Peptide 1
- DPP-IV Dipeptidyl Peptidase IV
- Other examples include inhibitors of key enzymes involved in the hepatic glucose production and secretion (e.g., fructose- 1,6-bisphosphatase inhibitors) and direct modulation of enzymes involved in insulin signaling (e.g., Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase- IB, or "PTP-IB").
- Another method of treating or prophylactically treating diabetes mellitus includes using inhibitors of 11- ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1 (l l ⁇ -HSDl).
- l l ⁇ -HSDl 11- ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type 1
- 1 l ⁇ -HSDl which is highly expressed in liver and adipose tissue, is an enzyme that converts cortisone to Cortisol, which leads to higher local concentration of Cortisol.
- Cortisol in humans
- cortisone in humans
- cortisone in humans
- Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that are potent regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism. Excessive glucocorticoid action can lead to insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, increased abdominal obesity, and hypertension. Therefore, inhibition of l l ⁇ -HSDl prevents or decreases the tissue specific amplification of glucocorticoid action and imparts beneficial effects on blood pressure and glucose- and lipid-metabolism. Accordingly, there is a need for compounds that inhibit l l ⁇ -HSDl to benefit patients suffering from non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, lipid disorders, metabolic syndrome and other diseases and conditions mediated by excessive glucocorticoid action.

- a further embodiment of the present invention is directed towards a method of treating disorders in a mammal through the inhibition 11 -beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type I enzyme by administering to a mammal, a therapeutically effective amount of the compound of formula (I).
- the disorders can be, but are not limited to, non- insulin dependent Type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, lipid disorder, metabolic syndrome, or other diseases and conditions that are mediated by excessive glucocorticoid action.
- Yet another embodiment of the present invention is directed towards a method of treating diseases and conditions that are mediated through excessive glucocorticoid action in a mammal by inhibiting 11 -beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase Type I enzyme.
- the various methods associated with the administration of the compound of formula (I) are based on the following principles.
- Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that play an important role in regulating multiple physiological processes in a wide range of tissues and organs.
- glucocorticoids are potent regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism. Excess glucocorticoid action can lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, visceral obesity and hypertension. Cortisol is the major active form and cortisone is the major inactive form of glucocorticoids in humans, while corticosterone and dehydrocorticosterone are the major active and inactive forms respectively in rodents.
- tissue glucocorticoid levels can also be controlled by 11 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases enzymes (1 l ⁇ -HSDs).
- 11 ⁇ - HSD isozymes There are two 11 ⁇ - HSD isozymes that have different substrate affinities and cofactors.
- the 11 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 1 enzyme (l l ⁇ -HSD-1) is a low affinity enzyme with K m for cortisone in the micromolar range that prefers NADPH/NADP + (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) as cofactors.
- l l ⁇ -HSD-1 is widely expressed and particularly high expression levels are found in liver, brain, lung, adipose tissue and vascular smooth muscle cells.
- In vitro studies indicate that l l ⁇ -HSD-1 is capable of acting both as a reductase and a dehydrogenase. However, many studies have shown that it is predominantly a reductase in vivo and in intact cells.
- inactive 11 -ketoglucocorticoids i.e., cortisone or dehydrocorticosterone
- active 11-hydroxyglucocorticoids i.e., Cortisol or corticosterone
- the 11 ⁇ -hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases type 2 enzyme (l l ⁇ -HSD-2) is a NAD + -dependent, high affinity dehydrogenase with a K m for Cortisol in the nanomolar range.
- 11 ⁇ -HSD-2 is found primarily in mineralocorticoid target tissues, such as the kidney, colon, and placenta.
- Glucocorticoid action is mediated by the binding of glucocorticoids to receptors, such as mineralocorticoid receptors and glucocorticoid receptors.
- the main mineralocorticoid aldosterone controls the water and salts balance in the body.
- the mineralocorticoid receptors have a high affinity for both Cortisol and aldosterone. 1 l ⁇ -HSD-2 converts Cortisol to inactive cortisone, therefore preventing the non-selective mineralocorticoid receptors from being exposed to high levels of Cortisol. Mutations in the gene encoding l l ⁇ -HSD-2 cause Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess Syndrome (AME), which is a congenital syndrome resulting in hypokaleamia and severe hypertension.
- AME Apparent Mineralocorticoid Excess Syndrome
- AME Patients have elevated Cortisol levels in mineralocorticoid target tissues due to reduced l l ⁇ -HSD-2 activity.
- the AME symptoms can also be induced by administration of 11 ⁇ -HSD-2 inhibitor, glycyrrhetinic acid.
- 11 ⁇ -HSD-2 inhibitor glycyrrhetinic acid.
- the activity of 11 ⁇ -HSD-2 in placenta is probably important for protecting the fetus from excess exposure to maternal glucocorticoids, which can result in hypertension, glucose intolerance and growth retardation.
- the present invention describes selective 1 l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitors.
- Glucocorticoid levels and/or activity can contribute to numerous disorders, including Type II diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, and hypertension.
- Administration of the compounds of the present invention decreases the level of Cortisol and other l l ⁇ - hydroxysteroids in target tissues, thereby reducing the effects of glucucorticoid activity in key target tissues.
- the present invention could be used for the treatment, control, amelioration, prevention, delaying the onset of or reducing the risk of developing the diseases and conditions that are described herein.
- glucocorticoids are potent regulators of glucose and lipid metabolism, glucocorticoid action can contribute or lead to insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, visceral obesity, and hypertension.
- Cortisol antagonizes the insulin effect in liver resulting in reduced insulin sensitivity and increased gluconeogenesis.
- Patients who already have impaired glucose tolerance have a greater probability of developing Type 2 diabetes in the presence of abnormally high levels of Cortisol.
- Previous studies (B. R. Walker et al, J. of Clin. Endocrinology and Met, 80: 3155-3159, 1995) have demonstrated that administration of non-selective l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitor, carbenoxolone, improves insulin sensitivity in humans. Therefore, administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitor can treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
- administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an 11 ⁇ -HSD- 1 inhibitor can treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes by improving glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in the pancreas.
- Abdominal obesity is closely associated with glucose intolerance (C. T. Montaque et al, Diabetes, 49: 883-888, 2000), hyperinsulinemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and other factors of metabolic syndrome (also known as syndrome X) such as high blood pressure, elevated VLDL, and reduced HDL.
- metabolic syndrome X also known as syndrome X
- Animal data supporting the role of 11 ⁇ -HSD- 1 in the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome is extensive (Masuzaki, et al.. Science. 294: 2166- 2170, 2001; Paterson, J.M., et al; Proc Natl. Acad. ScL USA. 101 : 7088-93, 2004; Montague and O'Rahilly. Diabetes. 49: 883-888, 2000).
- administering can treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of obesity.
- Long-term treatment with an 11 ⁇ -HSD- 1 inhibitor can also be useful in delaying the onset of obesity, or perhaps preventing it entirely if the patients use an 11 ⁇ - HSD-I inhibitor in combination with controlled diet, exercise, or in combination or sequence with other pharmacological approaches.
- compounds of the present invention By reducing insulin resistance and/or maintaining serum glucose at normal concentrations and/or reducing obesity, compounds of the present invention also have utility in the treatment and prevention of conditions that accompany Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance such as, but not limited to, metabolic syndrome or syndrome X, obesity, reactive hypoglycemia, diabetic dyslipidemia, and other conditions that accompany Type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance known to those of skill in the art.
- 11 ⁇ -HSD- 1 is present in multiple tissues such as vascular smooth muscle, where local glucocorticoid levels that are thought to increase insulin resistance, lead to reductions in nitric oxide production, and potentiate the vasoconstrictive effects of both catecholamines and angiotensin II (M. Pirpiris et al., Hypertension, 19:567-574, 1992, C. Kornel et al., Steroids, 58: 580-587, 1993, B. R. Walker and B. C. Williams, Clin. Sci. 82:597-605, 1992; Hodge, G. et al Exp. Physiol 87: 1-8, 2002,).
- mice overexpressing 11 ⁇ -HSD- 1 in liver and fat are also hypertensive, a phenotype believed to result from glucocorticoid activation of the renin angiotensin system (Paterson, J.M. et al, PNAS. 101: 7088-93, 2004; Masuzaki, H. et al, J. Clin. Invest. 112: 83-90, 2003). Therefore, administration of a therapeutically effective dose of an l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitor can treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of hypertension.
- Cushing's syndrome is a life-threatening metabolic disorder characterized by sustained and elevated glucocorticoid levels caused by the endogenous and excessive production of Cortisol from the adrenal glands.
- Typical Cushingoid characteristics include central obesity, diabetes and/or insulin resistance, moon face, buffalo hump, skin thinning, dyslipidemia, osteoporosis, reduced cognitive capacity, dementia, hypertension, sleep deprivation, and atherosclerosis among others (Principles and Practice of Endocrinology and Metabolism. Edited by Kenneth Becker, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins Publishers, Philadelphia, 2001; pg 723-8).
- exogenous glucocorticoids such as prednisone or dexamethasone
- Endogenous Cushings typically evolves from pituitary hyperplasia, some other ectopic source of ACTH, or from an adrenal carcinoma or nodular hyperplasia.
- Administration of a therapeutically effective dose of an l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitor can reduce local glucocorticoid concentrations and therefore treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of Cushing's disease and/or similar symptoms arising from glucocorticoid treatment.
- mice are resistant to the dyslipidemic effects of a high fat diet and have an improved lipid profile vs wild type controls (Morton N.M. et al, JBC, 276: 41293-41300, 2001), and mice which overexpress l l ⁇ -HSD-1 in fat exhibit the dyslipidemic phenotype characteristic of metabolic syndrome, including elevated circulating free fatty acids, and triclylgerides (Masuzaki, H., et al Science. 294: 2166-2170, 2001).
- a selective l l ⁇ - HSD-I inhibitor has also been shown to reduce elevated plasma triglycerides and free fatty acids in mice on a high fat diet, and significantly reduce aortic content of cholesterol esters, and reduce progression of atherosclerotic plaques in mice (Hermanowski-Vosatka, A. et al. J. Exp. Med. 202: 517-27, 2005).
- the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of an l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitor would therefore be expected to treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of dyslipidemia and/or atherosclerosis.
- glucocorticoids can cause neuronal degeneration and dysfunction, particularly in the aged (de Quervain et al.; Hum MoI Genet. 13: 47-52, 2004; Belanoff et al. J. Psychiatr Res. 35: 127-35, 2001).
- Evidence in rodents and humans provide that prolonged elevation of plasma glucocorticoid levels impairs cognitive function that becomes more profound with aging. (Issa, A.M. et al. J. Neurosci. 10: 3247-54, 1990; Lupien, SJ et al. Nat. Neurosci.
- glucocorticoids include glucocorticoid-induced acute psychosis, which is of major concern to physicians when treating patients with these steroidal agents (Wolkowitz et al.; Ann NY Acad Sci. 1032: 191-4, 2004).
- Conditional mutagenesis studies of the glucocorticoid receptor in mice have also provided genetic evidence that reduced glucocorticoid signaling in the brain results in decreased anxiety (Tranche, F. et al. (1999) Nature Genetics 23: 99-103). Therefore, it is expected that potent, selective l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitors would treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of cognitive decline, dementia, steroid-induced acute psychosis, depression, and/or anxiety.
- Glucocorticoids are also known to cause a variety of skin related side effects including skin thinning, and impairment of wound healing (Anstead, G. Adv Wound Care. 11: 277-85, 1998; Beer, et al.; Vitam Horm. 59: 217-39, 2000).
- l l ⁇ -HSD-1 is expressed in human skin fibroblasts, and it has been shown that the topical treatment with the nonselective HSD 1/2 inhibitor glycerrhetinic acid increases the potency of topically applied hydrocortisone in a skin vasoconstrictor assay (Hammami, MM, and Siiteri, PK. J. Clin. Endocrinol. Metab. 73: 326-34, 1991).
- Cortisol is an important and well-recognized anti-inflammatory agent (J. Baxer, Pharmac. Ther., 2:605-659, 1976), if present in large amount it also has detrimental effects.
- high glucocorticoid activity shifts the immune response to a humoral response, when in fact a cell based response can be more beneficial to patients.
- Inhibition of l l ⁇ -HSD-1 activity can reduce glucocorticoid levels, thereby shifting the immune response to a cell based response.
- l l ⁇ -HSD-1 specific inhibitors could treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of tuberculosis, psoriasis, stress, and diseases or conditions where high glucocorticoid activity shifts the immune response to a humoral response.
- glaucoma One of the more significant side effects associated with topical and systemic glucocorticoid therapy is glaucoma, which results in serious increases in intraocular pressure, with the potential to result in blindness (Armaly et al.; Arch Ophthalmol. 78: 193-7, 1967; Stokes et al.; Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci.
- the cells that produce the majority of aqueous humor in the eye are the nonpigmented epithelial cells (NPE). These cells have been demonstrated to express l l ⁇ -HSD-1. Additionally, consistent with the expression of l l ⁇ -HSD-1, elevated ratios of cortisohcortisone in the aqueous humor exist (Rauz et al. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 42: 2037-2042, 2001). Furthermore, it has been shown that patients who have glaucoma, but who are not taking exogenous steroids, have elevated levels of Cortisol vs. cortisone in their aqueous humor (Rauz et al. QJM.
- Glucocorticoids are also known to increase bone resorption and reduce bone formation in mammals (Turner et al. Calcif Tissue Int. 54: 311-5, 1995; Lane, NE et al. Med Pediatr Oncol. 41: 212-6, 2003). l l ⁇ -HSD-1 mRNA expression and reductase activity have been demonstrated in primary cultures of human osteoblasts in homogenates of human bone (Bland et al; J. Endocrinol. 161 : 455-464, 1999; Cooper et al; Bone, 23: 119-125, 2000).
- l l ⁇ -HSD-1 expression in primary cultures of osteoblasts was found to be increased approximately 3 -fold between young and old donors (Cooper et al; J. Bone Miner Res. 17: 979-986, 2002).
- Glucocorticoids such as prednisone and dexamethasone, are also commonly used to treat a variety of inflammatory conditions including arthritis, inflammatory bowl disease, and asthma. These steroidal agents have been shown to increase expression of l l ⁇ -HSD-1 mRNA and activity in human osteoblasts (Cooper et al; J. Bone Miner Res. 17: 979-986, 2002).
- l l ⁇ -HSD-1 plays a potentially important role in the development of bone-related adverse events as a result of excessive glucocorticoid levels or activity.
- Bone samples taken from healthy human volunteers orally dosed with the nonselective HSD 1/2 inhibitor carbenoxolone showed a significant decrease in markers of bone resorption (Cooper et al; Bone. 27: 375-81, 2000). Therefore, potent, selective l l ⁇ -HSD-1 inhibitors would treat, control, ameliorate, delay, or prevent the onset of conditions of glucocorticoid-induced or age-dependent osteoporosis.
- the following diseases, disorders and conditions also can be treated, controlled, prevented or delayed, by treatment with the compounds of the present invention: (1) hyperglycemia, (2) low glucose tolerance, (3) insulin resistance, (4) lipid disorders, (5) hyperlipidemia, (6) hypertriglyceridemia, (9) hypercholesterolemia, (10) low HDL levels, (11) high LDL levels, (12), atherosclerosis and its sequelae, (13) vascular restensosis, (14) pancreatitis, (15) abdominal obesity, (16) neurodegenerative disease, (17) retinopathy, (18) nephropathy, (19), neuropathy, (20) hypertension and other disorders where insulin resistance is a component, and (21) other diseases, disorders, and conditions that can benefit from reduced local glucocorticoid levels.
- test compounds to inhibit human 1 l ⁇ -HSD-1 enzymatic activity in vitro was evaluated in a Scintillation Proximity Assay (SPA).
- SPA Scintillation Proximity Assay
- Tritiated-cortisone substrate, NADPH cofactor, and titrated compound were incubated with truncated human l l ⁇ -HSD-1 enzyme (24-287AA) at room temperature to allow the conversion to Cortisol to occur.
- the reaction was stopped by adding a non-specific l l ⁇ -HSD inhibitor, 18 ⁇ -glycyrrhetinic acid.
- the tritiated Cortisol was captured by a mixture of an anti-cortisol monoclonal antibody and SPA beads coated with anti- mouse antibodies.
