Abstract
The present invention relates to pharmaceutically effective heterodimers comprising a bradykinin antagonist component covalently linked to a mu-opioid agonist component.
Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to compounds with combined bradykinin receptor antagonist and mu-opioid receptor agonist activities and to methods of using the same.
C-Fiber afferents are known to mediate both the sensation of pain as well as the neurogenic component of inflammation. These afferent neurons release a variety of neuropeptides in response to specific and non-specific stimuli in both the central nervous system (CNS) as well as in the peripherally innervated tissues. Some of these neuropeptides include: substance-P, neurokinin A, neurokinin B, calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP), cholecystokinin (CCK), vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), and neuropeptide Y, among other neurotransmitters. To add to this complexity, different C-fibers appear to contain different amounts and/or ratios of these neuropeptides depending on the tissue innervated. All of these peptides have been shown to play contributory roles in the various neurogenic processes that have been implicated in numerous diseases and clinical syndromes.
One apparently common feature among this otherwise diverse group of neurons is that they all have mu-opioid receptors that modulate the release of these neuropeptides as well as afferent C-fiber activity. Both the endogenous enkephalins as well as other exogenously administered small molecular weight compounds such as morphine, oxymorphone, fentanyl and their derivatives will inhibit the release of the neuropeptides from peripheral C-fibers by acting as mu-opioid receptor agonists locally (at terminal mu-opioid receptors in the periphery) and in the CNS. This inhibition is independent of both the constellation of peptides contained in the specific C-fiber as well as the stimulus causing their release.
As a result, one important class of compounds considered to have a particularly good profile of activities for the treatment of conditions that are produced by combined humoral and neurogenic processes are bradykinin antagonist (BKAn)/mu-opioid receptor agonist heterodimers. These compounds would be expected to attenuate or block both the humoral component of the inflammatory process as represented by the kinins as well as the neurogenic aspects of inflammation produced by the release of the neuropeptides. In addition, one of the limiting aspects of the use of existing mu-opioid agonists is their propensity to produce sedation, confusion, and a depressed respiratory drive, not to mention their potential for the development of addiction and/or tolerance in the patients being treated with these agents. These undesirable aspects of mu-opioid receptor agonists are due to their ability to easily penetrate the CNS. BKAn/mu-opioid receptor agonist heterodimers, however, should not penetrate the CNS due to the highly cationic nature of the BKAn.
Consequently, mu-opioid receptor agonist activity should be limited to the periphery and should result in a substantially reduced side effect/toxicity profile for these types of compounds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides heterodimeric compounds of the general formula (BKAn)(X)(Y) where BKAn is a bradykinin antagonist peptide; Y is a mu-opioid receptor agonist and X is a linking moiety. More specifically, the present invention provides heterodimeric compounds where the mu-opioid receptor agonist is selected from fentanyl, dihydromorphine and morphine or derivatives or analogs thereof. The present invention also provides heterodimers comprising improved linking moieties as well as improved bradykinin antagonists.

Isolation and Expression of the Human Mu Receptor Gene
A cDNA library from human brain (caudate /putamen) was obtained from Stratagene. The mu receptor sequence was selectively amplified from the cDNA library using nested PCR. The first round PCR used the two primers GTAAGAAACAGCAGGAGCTG (SEQ ID NO:1) and CAACCTGCTTCCACATACATG (SEQ ID NO:2) and Vent DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs). Twenty-four rounds of PCR were done using the following conditions: 94.degree. C., 1 minute for denaturation, 60.degree. C., 1 minute for annealing followed by 72.degree. C., 3 minutes for extension. Excess primers were removed with a Centricon 30 miniconcentrator. A portion of this first round reaction was used as a template in a second round of PCR using the following primers GCGAAGCTTCAGTACCATGGACAGCA (SEQ ID NO:3) and CGCTCTAGAGGAATGGCATGAGACCC (SEQ ID NO:4). The number of rounds of PCR and the conditions were the same as those used for the first round. The DNA obtained after this second round was digested with the restriction enzymes Hind III and Xba I using standard methodology. Cesium chloride-purified pRc/CMV (Invitrogen) was also digested with Hind III and Xba I using standard methodology. The products of the two digests were resolved on a 0.7% low melt agarose gel. Sections of gel containing the human mu receptor DNA (approximately 1.2 kb) and the pRc/CMV DNA (approximately 5.5 kb) were excised from the gel. The gel slices containing these DNAs were heated at 65.degree. C. and aliquots combined in a reaction containing T4 DNA ligase. The reaction was incubated overnight at 15.degree. C. An aliquot of this reaction was used to transform frozen competent E. coli DH5.alpha. cells (GibcoBRL). Transformants containing the human mu receptor DNA were selected on LB+amp plates. One of the transformants was selected and the sequence of the human mu receptor DNA insert determined using the Sequenase enzyme (United States Biochemical) according to the manufacturer's instructions. This sequence was compared to the sequence of Wang et al. FEBS Letters 338:217 (1994)) as found in the Genbank database (accession number L25119). Three nucleotide missincorporations were detected and those that altered the amino acid sequence of the receptor were corrected using site-directed mutagenesis (Kunkel et al. Methods in Enzymology 154:367 (1987)). Cesium chloride-purified human mu receptor-pRc/CMV plasmid was transfected into CHO-K1 (ATCC) cells using the Lipofectamine reagent (GibcoBRL). Transfectants were selected with the antibiotic G418 and screened for .sup.3 H-DAMGO (Dupont NEN) binding. One clone, hmu5, was chosen based upon binding levels, binding kinetics and inhibition patterns as the clone to be used for all human mu receptor binding assays.

Human Mu Receptor Binding
Preparation of human MU clone membrane for binding assay was carried out by scraping cells from plate in ice cold PBS and centrifuging at 500.times.g, at 4.degree. C. for 10 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and pellet resuspended in assay buffer consisting of 10 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.4 with 0.32M Sucrose and centrifuged for 30 minutes, at 4.degree. C., at 27,000.times.g. The supernatant was discarded and pellet resuspended in fresh assay buffer, and in 1 ml aliquots, frozen at -70.degree. C. until needed.
Binding assays were performed by incubating human clone membrane solution (50 ug/well in 125 ul final concentration) with .sup.3 H-DAMGO (final concentration 5nM) with or without test compounds in assay buffer, at room temperature, for 60 minutes, at a final volume of 315 ul. All test compound dilutions were done in triplicate. Assays were harvested by quick filtration in a Tomtec Harvester 96, with ice-cold wash buffer consisting of 50 mM Tris/HCl, pH 7.4, onto Wallec printed glassfiber Filtermat "B", which had been pre-soaked with 0.1% PEI and previously air-dried. Filtermats were counted in 9.5 mls Wallec Beta-Plate Scint, in Wallec 1450 MicroBeta Counter. Data is shown in Table II.

BK Human Receptor Cloning
RNA was isolated from human lung fibroblasts (CCD-16 LU obtained from the ATCC) using the method of Ghirgwin et al (Biochemistry 18:5294 (1979)). The RNA was transcribed into cDNA using MMlV reverse transcriptase, the primer GACTCGAGTCGACATCGATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT (SEQ ID NO:5) and the procedure of Maniatis (Molecular Cloning Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (1982)). The human BK2 receptor cDNA was selectively amplified using nested PCR. The first round PCR used the two primers CTCCGAGGAGGGGTGGG (SEQ ID NO:6) and CCTGAAAAGCAACTGTCCC (SEQ ID NO:7) and Taq DNA polymerase (Promega). Twenty-five rounds of PCR were done using the following conditions: 94.degree. C., 1 minute for denaturation, 50.degree. C., 1 minute for annealing followed by 72.degree. C., 3 minutes for extension. Excess primers were removed with a Centricon 30 miniconcentrator. A portion of this first round reaction was used as a template in a second round of PCR using the following primers GCGAAGCTTCGTGAGGACTCCGTGCCC (SEQ ID NO:8) and CGCTCTAGACAAATTCACAGCCC (SEQ ID NO:9). The number of rounds of PCR and the conditions were the same as those used for the first round. The DNA obtained after this second round was digested with the restriction enzymes Hind III and Xba I using standard methodology. Cesium chloride-purified pRc/CMV (Invitrogen) was also digested with Hind III and Xba I using standard methodology. The products of the two digests were resolved on a 1% low melt agarose gel. The human BK2 receptor DNA (approximately 1.1 kb) and the pRc/CMV DNA (approximately 5.5 kb) were excised from the gel. The gel slices containing these DNAs were heated at 65.degree. C. and aliquots combined in a reaction containing T4 DNA ligase. The reaction was incubated overnight at 15.degree. C. An aliquot of this reaction was used to transform frozen competent E. coli DH5.alpha. cells (Gibco/BRL). Transformants containing the human BK2 receptor DNA were selected on LB+amp plates. One of the transformants was selected and the sequence of the human BK2 receptor DNA insert determined using the Sequenase enzyme (United States Biochemical) according to the manufacturer's instructions. This sequence was compared to the sequence of Hess et al (Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 184:260 (1992)). Two nucleotide missincorporations were detected and those that altered the amino acid sequence of the receptor were corrected using side-directed mutagenesis (Kunkel et al., Methods in Enzymology 154:367 (1987)). The human BK2 receptor-pRc/CMV plasmid was transfected into CHO-K1(ATCC) cells using the Lipofectamine reagent (Gibco/BRL). Transfectants were selected with antibiotic G418 and screened for .sup.3 H-bradykinin (Dupont NEN) binding. One clone, S34f, was chosen based upon binding levels, binding kinetics and inhibition patterns as the clone to be used for all human BK2 receptor binding assays.

Human BK2 Receptor Binding
Preparation of human BK2 clone membrane for binding assay was carried out by scraping cells from roller bottles in ice cold PBS and centrifuging at 1000.times.g, at 4.degree. C. for 15 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and pellet resuspended in Buffer A consisting of 25 mM TES(pH 6.8) with 2 uM 1,10-Phenanthroline, and centrifuged at 27,000.times.g for 15 min. this was then repeated. The final pellet was resuspended in Buffer B (Buffer A with 2 uM Captopril, 140 ug/Ml Bacitracin, 0.1% BSA), and stored in 1 ml aliquots, frozen at -20.degree. C. until needed.
Binding assays were performed by incubating human clone membrane solution (Approx. 60 ug/well in 125 ul) with .sup.3 H-Bradykinin (final concentration 0.3 nM) with or without test compounds in assay buffer B with 1 mM Dithiotreitol), at room temperature, for 45 minutes, at a final volume of 315 ul.

In Vivo Studies
The effect of dihydromorhine and the heterodimer CP-0840 are described below, but essentially similar results were observed with fentanyl and its heterodimer, CP-0719.
Example XIX
Mouse Formalin Test
This test is a classical test for opiate and non-steroidal analgesic compounds. Mice are pretreated s.c. with vehicle or compound 30 minutes before injecting the formalin. 10 .mu.l of 5% formalin was injected into one paw of a mouse. This resulted in a characteristic behavioral response reflective of pain, characterized by licking the paw. The time spent licking the paw from 0-5 min (early phase response) and 15-30 min (late phase response) was measured.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show the effect of dihydromorphine and the heterodimer, CP-0840, both of which produced a dose-dependent inhibition of the first and second phase responses compared to vehicle control animals. The mean ED.sub.50 's (dose in .mu.mole/kg producing a 50% reduction of the first and second phase response) for dihydromorhine in the first and second phase were 6.7 and 4.3, whereas those for CP-0840 were 3.2 and 1.0, respectively. This reflects an increase in potency for CP-0840 compared to dihyromorphine. It is to be noted in this test that CP-0597 (the BK antagonist) had no significant effect on either phase at doses ranging from 0.3-10 mg/kg s.c.
It was noticed that in all mice given dihydromorhine a typical Straub tail effect (erection and bending of the tail over the back of the animal) was observed, an effect not seen with any of the doses of CP-0840. This suggests that CP-0840 does not get into the CNS since it is known that the Straub tail phenomenon is centrally mediated.
Example XX
Mouse Hot Plate
This is another classic test for analgesics whose mechanism of action involves spinal (central nervous system) pathways. Essentially, mice were placed on a surface maintained at 55.degree. C. and the time taken for the animal to respond by raising one of the hind paws was recorded. Vehicle or test compound were given and the mouse placed on the hot plate. Reaction time was recorded at time intervals up to 240 minutes.
Dihydromorhine produced a dose dependent increase in the time spent on the hot plate (FIG. 3), whereas CP-0840 had no effect compared to vehicle controls at all doses studied (FIG. 4).
Example XXI
Rat Carrageenan Paw Edema
This test is designed to assess the anti-inflammatory effects of compounds as reflected by the edema component of the response. The volume of the paw was measured before and after injection of carragenan at 1 h intervals over a 6 h time period using a Ugo Basile Plesthysmometer. Vehicle or test compounds were injected s.c. 30 min before injecting the carrageenan. Carrageenan (1%) was injected subplantar into one paw of a rat.
FIG. 5 compares the effect of pretreatment of the rats with saline, dihydromorhine, CP-0597 (BK antagonist) and the heterodimer, CP-0840. It can be seen that dihydromorhine had little to no effect on the edema response. CP-0597, the BK antagonist, produced significant inhibition from 0-3 h, however, the edema response recovered at time 5-6 h. In contrast, the heterodimer, CP-0840 produced significant inhibition of the edema response at all time points. Careful analysis of the responses revealed a 2 phase response to carrageenan; an early ,0-3 h, and a late, 3-6 h phase. The percentage inhibition of the edema response at times 3 and 6 h for each compound are shown in Table 3. The heterodimer was clearly effective over the whole 6 h in contrast to the individual components. CP-0840 (as does CP-0597) at this dose had a duration of action of greater than 6 h in the rat against blood pressure responses to bradykinin (FIG. 6). Therefore, the lack of effect of CP-0597 from time 4-6 cannot be attributable to its disappearance from the receptors. CP-0840 is showing a clear co-operativity phenomenon possibly reflecting an opiate sensitive component during the second phase.
Table 3. Percentage inhibition of the carrageenan paw edema produced by dihydromorphine (DHM), the BK antagonist CP-0597 and the heterodimer CP-0840 at time 3 and 6 h post carrageenan compared to saline controls.

Example XXII
Mustard Oil-induced neurogenic inflammation in the Rat
Mustard oil was applied to the skin of the rat hind paw. This causes activation of nerve terminals in the skin which release neuropeptides which produce vasodilation and an increase in permeability of the microvasculature resulting in an increase in paw edema. Evan's blue dye was injected i.v. at a dose of 30 mg/kg. The animal was sacrificed 15 minutes after applying the mustard oil and the skin from the paw was removed and placed in formamide for 48 h. The amount of Evan's blue dye as ug/100 mg tissue was calculated spectroflourometrically at 620 nM from a standard curve. FIG. 7 compares the effect of dihydromorphine, CP-0597 and CP-0840 in this model. At the doses used CP-0840 produced a significant inhibition of the edema response compared to saline controls. Dihydromorphine and CP-0597 at the doses used were without effect.
Example XXIII
Rat Blood Pressure
Male rats were anesthetised with urethane, 1.25 g/kg, and cannulae were placed in the carotid artery and femoral vein for the injection and infusion of compounds and in the femoral artery for the recording of blood pressure. Standard hypotensive responses were obtained to repeated administration of bradykinin, 80 pM. These were repeated in the presence of increasing dose infusions of CP-0840. The dose of CP-0840 reducing the hypotensive response to bradykinin by 50% (ED50) was calculated and found to be 0.63 ug/kg/min (FIG. 8). The selectivity of CP-0840 was assessed at a dose of 3 ug/kg/min. At this dose hypotensive responses to bradykinin (80 pM) were completely blocked but not those to acetylcholine (10 nM) or substance P (4 pM), nor were the hypertensive responses to norepinephrine (1 nM) or angiotensin (200 pM). CP-0840 can be said to be a selective antagonist of bradykinin in vivo in the rat blood pressure assay (FIG. 9).
