Description

COMPOUND OF 14'-ACETOXYCOLLADONIN AND 14'-ACETOXYBADRAKEMIN FOR USE AS AN ANTICANCER AGENT IN THE TREATMENT OF BRAIN AND
NERVOUS SYSTEM CANCERS
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the use of active ingredients of 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'- acetoxybadrakemin obtained from natural sources as anticancer agents in the treatment of brain and nervous system cancers and to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one of these agents.
State of the Art
The present invention relates to the field of cancer treatment, as mentioned. More specifically, it relates to the use of naturally derived chemotherapy agents for cancer treatment.
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. These cells can invade and damage nearby tissues and spread to other body parts through the bloodstream or lymphatic system. There are many different types of cancer, and they may develop in almost any part of the body.
Chemotherapy is a commonly preferred treatment option for cancer and involves the use of medications to terminate cancer cells. Chemotherapy is an effective way to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors, but it also damages healthy cells, leading to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss, and increased risk of infection. In addition, many cancer cells may become resistant to chemotherapy drugs during the treatment process, making it difficult to treat cancer effectively.
One way to improve my chemotherapy agents is to make them more selective so that they only target cancer cells and maintain normal cells as much as possible. Chemotherapy agents obtained from natural sources may have the potential to be more selective than synthetic chemotherapy drugs. These agents are derived from plants, animals, or other natural sources rather than being synthesized in a laboratory. Examples of chemotherapy agents obtained from natural sources include docetaxel, paclitaxel, vincristine, vinblastine, and semi-synthetic derivatives derived from the alkaloids isolated from Catharanthus roseus (rosette) plant or from 10-deacetylbaccatin III obtained from Taxus baccata (yew tree).
The use of chemotherapy agents obtained from natural sources for cancer treatment may offer several potential benefits compared to synthetic chemotherapy drugs. For example, these agents may be less toxic to normal cells and may have other beneficial effects on the body. More research is needed to fully understand the potential of naturally obtained chemotherapy agents and identify the most effective ways to use them in cancer treatment.
Thus, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for treating cancer using naturally derived chemotherapy agents. Another object of the present invention is to provide an agent suitable for cancer treatment.
Brief Description of the Invention
The inventors have developed pharmaceutical compositions comprising active ingredients of 14'-acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin and optionally at least one pharmaceutically usable excipient for use as an anticancer agent in the treatment of brain and nervous system cancers, considering the problems in the state of the art described above.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising 14'- acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin as the active ingredient and optionally at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient for use as a medicine in the treatment of brain and nervous system cancers.
The active ingredient of 14'-acetoxycolladonin (Formula I) of the invention is provided from plants belonging to the Apiaceae family.

Formula I
The active ingredient of 14'-acetoxybadrakemin (Formula II) of the invention is provided from plants belonging to the Apiaceae family.
Figure imgf000004_0002
Formula II The inventors have observed in their studies that 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'- acetoxybadrakemin molecules have a toxic effect on various cancer cells. It has been determined by the studies conducted by the inventors that the toxic effect of these compounds is extremely strong, especially in brain cancer cells, compared to prostate and lung cancer cells, and that it has a close and selective effect on the effect of cisplatin used as a chemotherapy agent in the known state of the art. In addition, the 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'- acetoxybadrakemin molecules of the invention surprisingly showed a selective effect against brain cancer cells compared to prostate and lung cancer cells in the studies conducted by the inventors.
Although the 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'-acetoxybadrakemin molecules of the invention have a toxic effect as good as cisplatin on brain cancer cells, it has been unexpectedly observed that they have approximately 7.6 and 8.7 times less toxic effect on healthy cells than cisplatin, respectively. This shows that 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'-acetoxybadrakemin molecules are effective on brain and nervous system cancers and offer a much safer and selective chemotherapy possibility compared to cisplatin, a known chemotherapy agent.
The fact that the 14'-acetoxycolladonin and 14'-acetoxybadrakemin molecules are compounds with a structure different from the classes of molecules used in cancer treatment so far, that they have a selective effect on various types of cancer such as brain and nervous system cancers, that they have low toxicity on healthy cells and that they have a very high cytotoxic effect on cancer cells, for example at the micromolar dose level, distinguishes these molecules from other chemotherapy agents existing in state of the art and makes them superior.
The brain and nervous system cancers mentioned within the scope of the invention may be astrocytoma, brainstem glioma, pilocytic astrocytoma, ependymoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, cerebellar astrocytoma, cerebral astrocytoma, glioblastoma, glioma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, oligodendroglioma, pineal astrocytoma, pituitary adenoma, visual tract, and hypothalamic glioma.
The pharmaceutical compositions comprising the active ingredients of 14'-acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin of the invention are for use in the treatment of at least one or some or all of the brain and nervous system cancers mentioned herein.
A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to the use of pharmaceutical compositions comprising 14'-acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin as the active ingredient and optionally at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient in the treatment of astrocytoma, brainstem glioma, pilocytic astrocytoma, ependymoma, primitive neuroectodermal tumor, cerebellar astrocytoma, cerebral astrocytoma, glioblastoma, glioma, medulloblastoma, neuroblastoma, oligodendroglioma, pineal astrocytoma, pituitary adenoma, visual tract and hypothalamic glioma, as a therapeutic agent. In another aspect, the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing 14'- acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin as the active ingredient. The compositions of the invention may comprise at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient in addition to 14'- acetoxycolladonin or 14'-acetoxybadrakemin. The excipient may be selected from substances well known in the pharmaceutical technology that does not have any therapeutic activity that would be useful in preparing the formulation, adjusting its bioavailability, and/or release.
The pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention may be prepared in different pharmaceutical forms considering the physical condition of the patients, the type of disease or similar conditions.
The terms "treatment" or "therapeutic activity" mentioned within the scope of the invention refer to the shortening of the treatment period, the acceleration of recovery, the disappearance of at least one symptom of the disease, the decrease of at least one symptom of the disease, the decrease in tumor size, the disappearance of the tumor, the decrease in the level of the relevant cancer marker or the disappearance of the cancer marker or the return of the cancer marker to a level within the limits considered normal.
The expression "comprising" within the scope of the invention is also used to mean "including".
Embodiments of the invention may be combined, when technically appropriate.
