Angiogenesis inhibitor

TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an angiogenesis inhibitor comprising a cysteine protease inhibitory compound.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
An angiogenesis is a phenomenon wherein new blood vessels are created to form a new vascular network in the living body. The angiogenesis is found under normal physiological environment such as genesis and reproduction with regard to embryo, fetus, placenta, uterus and the like. It is also a pathologic phenomenon which accompanies wound healing, inflammation, growth of tumor and the like, and which is ophthalmologically seen in diabetic retinopathy, prematurity retinopathy, retinal venous occlusion, senile discoid macular degeneration and the like.
The angiogenesis greatly varies depending on the function and growth of endothelial cells, and is considered to be a cascade reaction which proceeds in the smallest vein along the following steps. That is, new blood vessels are presumably formed as a result of consecutive elementary reactions of (1) activation of vascular endothelial cells which are in the stage of rest upon differentiation, (2) destruction of cell matrix such as basement membrane by endothelial cells which expressed protease activity, (3) migration of endothelial cells, (4) proliferation of endothelial cells and (5) tube-formation by differentiation of endothelial cells [T. Oikawa, Drug News Perspest, Vol. 6, pp. 157-162 (1993)]. Each step of these reactions has been clarified to be promoted by angiogenesis promoters. Such angiogenesis promoters include, for example, blood vessel inducing factors [e.g., tumor angiogenetic factor (TAF)] secreted from tumor tissues, and growth factors such as fibroblast growth factor (FGF) present in various normal tissues, endothelial cell growth facor derived from platelets and vascular endothelial cell growth factor. In addition, cytokine, prostaglandine, monobutylin and angiogenine reportedly have similar direct or indirect effects [M. Klagsbrun et al., Annu. Rev. Physiol., Vol. 53, pp. 217-239 (1991)].
A substance which suppresses such angiogenesis include angiostatic steroids [Folkman J. et al., Science, Vol. 221, p. 719 (1983)] such as cortisone which inhibits growth of endothelial cells; medroxyprogesterone acetate which inhibits production of plasminogen activator by endothelial cells; fumagillin acid derivatives which inhibit proliferation of endothelial cells and tube-formation; polysaccharide sulfate SD-4152 which inhibits proliferation and migration of endothelial cells; and retinoic acid which is responsible for modification of endothelial cell differentiation [Tsutomu Oikawa, Kekkan to Naihi, vol. 2, pp. 470-480 (1992)].
However, the above-mentioned drugs which inhibit angiogenesis have not been complete therapeutic agents for clinically suppressing angiogenesis, since some of them cause strong side-effects, thereby posing problems in terms of safety, and others only show insufficient effects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical agent which provides strong angiogenesis-inhibitory effects.
According to the present invention, there has been provided (1) an angiogenesis inhibitor comprising a cysteine protease inhibitory compound.
Cysteine protease is a protease having a cysteine residue in the active site of the enzyme molecule and includes such species as cathepsin B, H, and L and dipeptidyl peptidase, all of which are lysosomal enzyme fractions, and calpain which occurs in the cytoplasm among others. Though much remains to be explored about the physiological roles of these enzymes, a considerable amount of light has been cast on their roles in recent years. For example, calpain is known to be a protease ubiquitous in life, which is activated by calcium ions and has the optimum pH in neutral. As elucidated to this day, it takes part in degradation of the skeletal protein of cells, activation of inert cell precursors such as protein kinase C, and degradation of receptor proteins. It has also been shown that the abnormality of this enzyme activity is involved in many diseases. For example, its involvement in refractory diseases such as cerebral apoplexy (stroke), subarachnoid hemorrhage, Alzheimer's disease, ischemic diseases, muscular dystrophy, cataract, platelet aggregation disorder, arthritis, and osteoporosis, among other diseases.

Experimental Example 1
Effect of Cysteine Protease Inhibitor on Angiogenesis in Cornea of Guinea Pig by Transplantation of Basic FGF (bFGF)
(Test Method)
(1) Method for preparing pellets for transplantation
A solution (5 .mu.l) of 8% ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) in dichloromethane was dropped on a plate made of Tefron, air-dried, and 0.0167 w/v % bFGF (3 .mu.l) was dropped thereon and air-dried. After drying, the obtained product was rounded into a small rod to give a bFGF (500 ng)-containing pellet.
Using a test solution instead of 0.0167 w/v % bFGF, a test solution-containing pellet was prepared in the same manner as above. The test solution-containing pellets were prepared to contain 27 mer calpastatin peptide (0.03 .mu.mole and 0.1 .mu.mole/pellet, Sigma) and leupeptin (0.1 .mu.mole/pellet, PEPTIDE INSTITUTE, INC.) .
As a control, a pellet made of EVA alone was prepared and used as a vehicle pellet.
(2) Transplantation of pellet into cornea of guinea pig
The procedure followed the method of M. Kusaka et al. [Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm., vol. 174, pp. 1070-1076 (1991)]. That is, male guinea pigs weighing 300-400 g were anesthetized with a 1:1 mixture of Ketalar 50 (ketamin hydrochloride, Sankyo Company, Limited) and Celactal (xylazine hydrochloride, Bayer, Ltd.). A pocket was formed in the intercellular layer of corneal stroma layer of both eyes from corneal limbus to the center of cornea, using a 0.5 mm width ophthalmic spatula. A test solution-containing pellet was inserted into the pocked thus formed, and a bFGF-containing pellet was inserted in adjacency thereto. For prevention of infection, ofloxacin eye ointment [Tarivid eye ointment (ofloxacin 0.3%, manufactured by Santen Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) was instilled once immediately after insertion of the pellets. Thereafter, 0.3% lomefloxacin (lomeflon ophthalmic otologic solution, manufactured by Senju Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) was instilled once a day for 5 days.
(3) Evaluation of the effects of cysteine protease inhibitor
The effect of the cysteine protease inhibitor was observed with a slit lamp. The blood vessel newly formed in cornea which is an avascular tissue had high permeability, and the wet weight and plasma content were expected to elevate due to incurrent of plasma components as a result of high permeability. At 9 days posttransplantation of pellet, guinea pigs were euthanized and cornea was collected. The obtained cornea was weighed (wet weight). Then, it was homogenized, and subjected to centrifugation. The obtained water soluble protein was separated by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. By image analysis (NIH Image 1.31), albumin which is one of the major proteins in plasma was quantitatively assayed. As the standard substance, guinea pig serum albumin was used.
(Test Results)
(1) Observation of cornea with a slit lamp
The cornea of vehicle pellet transplantation group showed no changes as compared to the cornea of the untreated group. The bFGF-containing pellet transplantation group (hereinafter sometimes referred to as control group) showed appearance of blood vessel in the neighborhood of bFGF-containing pellet transplantation site from 4 days after transplantation. At 9 days posttransplantation, blood vessels were newly formed radially in the entirety of the cornea of guinea pigs. The group which underwent transplantation of 27 mer calpastatin peptide-containing pellet or leupeptin-containing pellet together with bFGF-containing pellet showed appearance of blood vessel in all groups. Compared to the control group, however, the degree of appearance was mild, and new formation of blood vessels was found mainly in corneal limbus. The corneas at 9 days posttransplantation of guinea pig are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
(2) Wet weight of cornea
The results are shown in FIG. 3. The wet weight of cornea was almost the same between the untreated group and vehicle pellet transplantation group, and no influence by transplantation of vehicle pellet was found. In contrast, the wet weight of cornea of the control group increased from the weight of the untreated group and vehicle pellet transplantation group. The group which underwent transplantation of 27 mer calpastatin peptide-containing pellet or leupeptin-containing pellet together with bFGF-containing pellet showed suppressed increase in the wet weight of cornea as compared to the control group.
It was clarified therefrom that 27 mer calpastatin peptide and leupeptin suppressed increase in wet weight of cornea caused by angiogenesis.
(3) Amount of albumin in cornea
The results are shown in FIG. 4. The amount of albumin of untreated group was very small and was 35.2.+-.9.6 (S.D.) or 56.1.+-.13.5 (S.D.). This was because cornea is an avascular tissue. Meanwhile, that of the group which underwent transplantation of vehicle pellet showed a small increase from the weight of the untreated group. This was supposedly attributable to surgical stimulation during pellet transplantation. In contrast, that of the control group was about 17 or 9 times greater than the untreated group, and about 8 times greater than the vehicle pellet transplantation group. This was because vascular permeability was high in newly formed blood vessels, and albumin which is the main component of plasma leaked. The group transplanted with 27 mer calpastatin peptide-containing pellet and leupeptin-containing pellet together with bFGF-containing pellet showed suppressed increase in the amount of albumin in cornea as compared to the control group.
It was clarified from the above that a cysteine protease inhibitor suppressed angiogenesis.

Thus, to a solution containing 0.5 mg/ml casein, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 20 mM dithiothreitol, and 4 mM calcium chloride was added 2.5 .mu.l of a dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing a varying concentration of the test drug as well as 0.03 unit of .mu.-calpain to initiate the reaction. The final liquid volume was 250 .mu.l. After 60 minutes of reaction at 30.degree. C., 100 .mu.l of the reaction mixture was transferred to another vessel, to which 50 .mu.l of purified water and 100 .mu.l of 50% Coumassie brilliant blue solution were added. The mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes and the absorbance was measured at 595 nm. As a control, 2.5 .mu.l of dimethyl sulfoxide not containing the test drug was added and the mixture was treated in the same manner as above. The absorbance value thus found was used as the control value. Similarly, the value found by adding 0.2 mM EIYTA in lieu of 4 mM aqueous calcium chloride solution was used as the blank value. The inhibition rate was calculated by means of the following equation and plotted against concentration on log paper and the amount necessary for 50% inhibition (IC.sub.50) was determined. ##EQU1## Assay of Cathepsin L-inhibitory Activity
The activity of cathepsin L (Cosmo Bio), a cysteine protease, was assayed by the method described in the literature [Methods in Enzymology, 80, 535-561, 1981]. Thus, to a solution containing 85 mM acetate buffer (pH 5.5), 2 mM dithiothreitol, 1 mM EDTA, 2 .mu.g cathepsin L, and a varying concentration of the test compound was added 50 .mu.l of 20 .mu.M carbobenzoxy-L-phenylalanyl-L-arginine-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (Z-Phe-Arg-MCA) to initiate the reaction at the final liquid volume of 200 .mu.l. After 20 minutes of reaction at 30.degree. C., 20 .mu.l of 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0) was added so as to stop the reaction. The amount of liberated 4-methyl-7-aminocoumarin was determined with a fluorospectrometer at an excitation wavelength of 360 nm and a fluorescent emission wave length of 450 nm. Using the value found without addition of the test drug as control and the value found without addition of the enzyme as blank, IC.sub.50 was determined in the same manner as above.
Assay of Papain- and Trypsin-inhibitory Activity
The activity of papain which is a cysteine protease and of trypsin (Sigma) which is a serine protease was assayed in accordance with the method described in the literature [Anal. Biochem., 208, 387-392, 1993]. Thus, to a solution containing 0.5 mg/ml casein, 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 20 mM dithiothreitol, and 0.2 mM EDTA was added 2.5 .mu.l of dimethyl sulfoxide containing a varying concentration of the test drug as well as 0.03 unit of papain or trypsin to initiate the reaction. These final liquid volume was adjusted to 250 .mu.l. After 60 minutes of reaction at 30.degree. C., 100 .mu.l of the reaction mixture was transferred to another vessel and following addition of 50 .mu.l of purified water and 100 .mu.l of 50% Coumassie brilliant blue solution, the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. The absorbance of the mixture was then measured at 595 nm. Using the value found similarly by adding 2.5 .mu.l of dimethyl sulfoxide not containing the test drug as control and the value found without addition of the enzyme as blank, IC50 was determined in the same manner as above.
