Disclosed are methods for the treatment of diseases or conditions of the eye, especially retinopathies, ocular edema and ocular neovascularization. Non-limiting examples of these diseases or conditions include diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration (wet form), choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion (central or branch), ocular trauma, surgery induced edema, surgery induced neovascularization, cystoid macular edema, ocular ischemia, uveitis, and the like. These diseases or conditions are characterized by changes in the ocular vasculature whether progressive or non-progressive, whether a result of an acute disease or condition, or a chronic disease or condition.
The eye comprises several structurally and functionally distinct vascular beds, which supply ocular components critical to the maintenance of vision. These include the retinal and choroidal vasculatures, which supply the inner and outer portions of the retina, respectively, and the limbal vasculature located at the periphery of the cornea. Injuries and diseases that impair the normal structure or function of these vascular beds are among the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness. For example, diabetic retinopathy is the most common disease affecting the retinal vasculature, and is the leading cause of vision loss among the working age population in the United States. Vascularization of the cornea secondary to injury or disease is yet another category of ocular vascular disease that can lead to severe impairment of vision.
“Macular degeneration” is a general medical term that applies to any of several disease syndromes which involve a gradual loss or impairment of eyesight due to cell and tissue degeneration of the yellow macular region in the center of the retina. Macular degeneration is often characterized as one of two types, non-exudative (dry form) or exudative (wet form). Although both types are bilateral and progressive, each type may reflect different pathological processes. The wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common form of choroidal neovascularization and a leading cause of blindness in the elderly. AMD affects millions of Americans over the age of 60, and is the leading cause of new blindness among the elderly.
Choroidal neovascular membrane (CNVM) is a problem that is related to a wide variety of retinal diseases, but is most commonly linked to age-related macular degeneration. With CNVM, abnormal blood vessels stemming from the choroid (the blood vessel-rich tissue layer just beneath the retina) grow up through the retinal layers. These new vessels are very fragile and break easily, causing blood and fluid to pool within the layers of the retina.
Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is a metabolic disease caused by the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin or to use the insulin that is produced. The most common types of diabetes are type I diabetes (often referred to as Juvenile Onset Diabetes Mellitus) and type 2 diabetes (often referred to as Adult Onset Diabetes Mellitus). Type 1 diabetes results from the body's failure to produce insulin due to loss of insulin producing cells, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. Type 2 diabetes generally results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly. Type 2 diabetes of the has a component of insulin deficiency as well.
Diabetes is directly responsible for a large number of disease conditions, including conditions or diseases of the eye including diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) which are leading causes of vision loss and blindness in most developed countries. The increasing number of individuals with diabetes worldwide suggests that DR and DME will continue to be major contributors to vision loss and associated functional impairment for years to come.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes that results from damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). At first, diabetic retinopathy may cause no symptoms or only mild vision problems. Eventually, however, diabetic retinopathy can result in blindness. Diabetic retinopathy can develop in anyone who has type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes.
At its earliest stage, non-proliferative retinopathy, microaneurysms occur in the retina's tiny blood vessels. As the disease progresses, more of these blood vessels become damaged or blocked and these areas of the retina send signals into the regional tissue to grow new blood vessels for nourishment. This stage is called proliferative retinopathy. The new blood vessels grow along the retina and along the surface of the clear, vitreous gel that fills the inside of the eye.
By themselves, these blood vessels do not cause symptoms or vision loss. However, they have thin, fragile walls and without timely treatment, these new blood vessels can leak blood (whole blood or some constituents thereof) which can result in severe vision loss and even blindness.
Also, fluid can leak into the center of the macula, the part of the eye where sharp, straight-ahead vision occurs. The fluid and the associated protein begin to deposit on or under the macula swell the patient's central vision becomes distorted. This condition is called macular edema. It can occur at any stage of diabetic retinopathy, although it is more likely to occur as the disease progresses. About half of the people with proliferative retinopathy also have macular edema.
Uveitis is a condition in which the uvea becomes inflamed. The eye is shaped much like a tennis ball, hollow on the inside with three different layers of tissue surrounding a central cavity. The outermost is the sclera (white coat of the eye) and the innermost is the retina. The middle layer between the sclera and the retina is called the uvea. The uvea contains many of the blood vessels that nourish the eye. Complications of uveitis include glaucoma, cataracts or new blood vessel formation (neovascularization).
The currently available interventions for exudative (wet form) macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, choroidal neovascular membrane and complications from uveitis or trauma, include laser photocoagulation therapy, low dose radiation (teletherapy) and surgical removal of neovascular membranes (vitrectomy). Laser therapy has had limited success and selected choroidal neovascular membranes which initially respond to laser therapy have high disease recurrence rates. There is also a potential loss of vision resulting from laser therapy. Low dose radiation has been applied ineffectively to induce regression of choroidal neovascularization. Recently ranibizumab and pegaptinib which are vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antagonist, have been approved for use in age-related macular degeneration.
Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is the most common retinal vascular disease after diabetic retinopathy. Depending on the area of retinal venous drainage effectively occluded, it is broadly classified as either central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), hemispheric retinal vein occlusion (HRVO), or branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). It has been observed that each of these has two subtypes. Presentation of RVO in general is with variable painless visual loss with any combination of fundal findings consisting of retinal vascular tortuosity, retinal hemorrhages (blot and flame shaped), cotton wool spots, optic disc swelling and macular edema. In a CRVO, retinal hemorrhages will be found in all four quadrants of the fundus, whilst these are restricted to either the superior or inferior fundal hemisphere in a HRVO. In a BRVO, hemorrhages are largely localized to the area drained by the occluded branch retinal vein. Vision loss occurs secondary to macular edema or ischemia.
There is therefore a long felt and substantial need for methods of treating diseases of the eye which are characterized by vascular instability, vascular leakage, and neovascularization.

The following chemical hierarchy is used throughout the specification to describe and enable the scope of the present disclosure and to particularly point out and distinctly claim the units which comprise the compounds of the present disclosure, however, unless otherwise specifically defined, the terms used herein are the same as those of the artisan of ordinary skill. The term “hydrocarbyl” stands for any carbon atom-based unit (organic molecule), said units optionally containing one or more organic functional group, including inorganic atom comprising salts, inter alia, carboxylate salts, quaternary ammonium salts. Within the broad meaning of the term “hydrocarbyl” are the classes “acyclic hydrocarbyl” and “cyclic hydrocarbyl” which terms are used to divide hydrocarbyl units into cyclic and non-cyclic classes.
As it relates to the following definitions, “cyclic hydrocarbyl” units can comprise only carbon atoms in the ring (i.e., carbocyclic and aryl rings) or can comprise one or more heteroatoms in the ring (i.e., heterocyclic and heteroaryl rings). For “carbocyclic” rings the lowest number of carbon atoms in a ring are 3 carbon atoms; cyclopropyl. For “aryl” rings the lowest number of carbon atoms in a ring are 6 carbon atoms; phenyl. For “heterocyclic” rings the lowest number of carbon atoms in a ring is 1 carbon atom; diazirinyl. Ethylene oxide comprises 2 carbon atoms and is a C2 heterocycle. For “heteroaryl” rings the lowest number of carbon atoms in a ring is 1 carbon atom; 1,2,3,4-tetrazolyl. The following is a non-limiting description of the terms “acyclic hydrocarbyl” and “cyclic hydrocarbyl” as used herein.
A. Substituted and unsubstituted acyclic hydrocarbyl:
For the purposes of the present disclosure carbocyclic rings are from C3 to C20; aryl rings are C6 or C10; heterocyclic rings are from C1 to C9; and heteroaryl rings are from C1 to C9.
For the purposes of the present disclosure, and to provide consistency in defining the present disclosure, fused ring units, as well as spirocyclic rings, bicyclic rings and the like, which comprise a single heteroatom will be characterized and referred to herein as being encompassed by the cyclic family corresponding to the heteroatom containing ring, although the artisan may have alternative characterizations. For example, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present disclosure, considered a heterocyclic unit. 6,7-Dihydro-5H-cyclopentapyrimidine having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present disclosure, considered a heteroaryl unit. When a fused ring unit contains heteroatoms in both a saturated ring (heterocyclic ring) and an aryl ring (heteroaryl ring), the aryl ring will predominate and determine the type of category to which the ring is assigned herein for the purposes of describing the invention. For example, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-[1,8]naphthpyridine having the formula:
is, for the purposes of the present disclosure, considered a heteroaryl unit.
The term “substituted” is used throughout the specification. The term “substituted” is applied to the units described herein as “substituted unit or moiety is a hydrocarbyl unit or moiety, whether acyclic or cyclic, which has one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by a substituent or several substituents as defined herein below.” The units, when substituting for hydrogen atoms are capable of replacing one hydrogen atom, two hydrogen atoms, or three hydrogen atoms of a hydrocarbyl moiety at a time. In addition, these substituents can replace two hydrogen atoms on two adjacent carbons to form said substituent, new moiety, or unit. For example, a substituted unit that requires a single hydrogen atom replacement includes halogen, hydroxyl, and the like. A two hydrogen atom replacement includes carbonyl, oximino, and the like. A two hydrogen atom replacement from adjacent carbon atoms includes epoxy, and the like. Three hydrogen replacement includes cyano, and the like. The term substituted is used throughout the present specification to indicate that a hydrocarbyl moiety, inter alia, aromatic ring, alkyl chain; can have one or more of the hydrogen atoms replaced by a substituent. When a moiety is described as “substituted” any number of the hydrogen atoms may be replaced. For example, 4-hydroxyphenyl is a “substituted aromatic carbocyclic ring (aryl ring)”, (N,N-dimethyl-5-amino)octanyl is a “substituted C8 linear alkyl unit, 3-guanidinopropyl is a “substituted C3 linear alkyl unit,” and 2-carboxypyridinyl is a “substituted heteroaryl unit.”
The following are non-limiting examples of units which can substitute for hydrogen atoms on a carbocyclic, aryl, heterocyclic, or heteroaryl unit:
For the purposes of the present disclosure the terms “compound,” “analog,” and “composition of matter” stand equally well for each other and are used interchangeably throughout the specification. The disclosed compounds include all enantiomeric forms, diastereomeric forms, salts, and the like.
The compounds disclosed herein include all salt forms, for example, salts of both basic groups, inter alia, amines, as well as salts of acidic groups, inter alia, carboxylic acids.

This substrate containing solution is poured in one portion into the stirring suspension of SO3′ pyr at 35° C. The resulting opaque mixture (39° C.) is stirred vigorously while allowed to slowly cool to room temperature. After stirring for 45 min, the reaction is determined to be complete by HPLC. H2O (200 mL, 20 mL/g) is added to the orange suspension to provide a yellow-orange homogeneous solution having a pH of approximately 2.4. Concentrated H3PO4 is added slowly over 12 minutes to lower the pH to approximately 1.4. During this pH adjustment, an off-white precipitate is formed and the solution is stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The suspension is filtered and the filter cake is washed with the filtrate. The filter cake is air-dried on the filter overnight to afford 10.89 g (89% yield) of the desired product as a tan solid.

Disclosed are methods for the treatment of diseases or conditions of the eye, especially retinopathies, ocular edema and ocular neovascularization. Non-limiting examples of these diseases or conditions include diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration (wet form), choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, ocular ischemia, uveitis, retinal vein occlusion (central or branch), ocular trauma, surgery induced edema, surgery induced neovascularization, cystoid macular edema, ocular ischemia, uveitis, and the like. These diseases or conditions are characterized by changes in the ocular vasculature whether progressive or non-progressive, whether a result of an acute disease or condition, or a chronic disease or condition.
One aspect of the disclosed methods relates to diseases that are a direct or indirect result of diabetes, inter alia, diabetic macular edema and diabetic retinopathy. The ocular vasculature of the diabetic becomes unstable over time leading to conditions such as non-proliferative retinopathy, macular edema, and proliferative retinopathy. As fluid leaks into the center of the macula, the part of the eye where sharp, straight-ahead vision occurs, the buildup of fluid and the associated protein begin to deposit on or under the macula. This results in swelling that causes the subject's central vision to gradually become distorted. This condition is referred to as “macular edema.” Another condition that may occur is non-proliferative retinopathy in which vascular changes, such as microaneurysms, outside the macular region of the eye may be observed.
These conditions may or may not progress to diabetic proliferative retinopathy which is characterized by neovascularization. These new blood vessels are fragile and are susceptible to bleeding. The result is scaring of the retina, as well as occlusion or total blockage of the light pathway through the eye due to the over formation of new blood vessels. Typically subjects having diabetic macular edema are suffering from the non-proliferative stage of diabetic retinopathy; however, it is not uncommon for subjects to only begin manifesting macular edema at the onset of the proliferative stage.
Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of vision loss in working-aged Americans (Klein R et al., “The Wisconsin Epidemiologic Study of Diabetic Retinopathy. II. Prevalence and risk of diabetic retinopathy when age at diagnosis is less than 30 years,” Arch. Ophthalmol. 1984, 102:520-526). Severe vision loss occurs due to tractional retinal detachments that complicate retinal neovascularization (NV), but the most common cause of moderate vision loss is diabetic macular edema (DME). The pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema is not completely understood, but hypoxia is a contributing factor (Nguyen Q D et al., “Supplemental inspired oxygen improves diabetic macular edema; a pilot study,” Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2003, 45:617-624). Vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf) is a hypoxia-regulated gene and VEGF levels are increased in hypoxic or ischemic retina. Injection of VEGF into mouse eyes causes breakdown of the inner blood-retinal barrier (See, Derevjanik N L et al. Quantitative assessment of the integrity of the blood-retinal barrier in mice, Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2002, 43:2462-2467) and sustained release of VEGF in the eyes of monkeys causes macular edema (Ozaki H et al., “Intravitreal sustained release of VEGF causes retinal neovascularization in rabbits and breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier in rabbits and primates,” Exp Eye Res 1997, 64:505-517). This combination of observations in patients and animal models led to the hypothesis that VEGF plays an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic macular edema. This hypothesis has been confirmed by several clinical trials that have shown that VEGF antagonists reduce foveal thickening and improve vision in patients with diabetic macular edema (Nguyen Q D et al., “Vascular endothelial growth factor is a critical stimulus for diabetic macular edema,” Am. J. Ophthalmol. 2006, 142:961-969; and Nguyen Q D et al. “Primary End Point (Six Months) Results of the Ranibizumab for Edema of the mAcula in Diabetes (READ-2) Study,” Ophthalmology 2009, 116:2175-2181).
The effects of VEGF on vascular endothelial cells are modulated by Tie2 receptors, which are selectively expressed on vascular endothelial cells and are required for embryonic vascular development (Dumont D J et al., “Dominant-negative and targeted null mutations in the endothelial receptor tyrosine kinase, tek, reveal a critical role in vasculogenesis of the embryo,” Genes Dev. 1994, 8:1897-1909). Angiopoietin 1 (Ang1) binds Tie2 with high affinity and initiates phosphorylation and downstream signaling (Davis S et al., “Isolation of angiopoictin-1, a ligand for the TIE2 receptor, by secretion-trap expression cloning,” Cell 1996, 87:1161-1169). Mice deficient in Ang1 die around E12.5 with vascular defects similar to, but less severe than those seen in Tie2-deficient mice. Angiopoietin 2 (Ang2) binds Tie2 with high affinity, but does not stimulate phosphorylation in cultured endothelial cells. It acts as a competitive inhibitor of Ang1 and transgenic mice overexpressing Ang2 have a phenotype similar to Ang1-deficient mice. Several lines of evidence indicate that Ang2 is a developmentally- and hypoxia-regulated permissive factor for VEGF-induced neovascularization in the retina (Hackett S F et al., “Angiopoietin 2 expression in the retina: upregulation during physiologic and pathologic neovascularization,” J. Cell. Physiol. 2000, 184:275-284). Double transgenic Tet/opsin/ang2 and Tet/opsin/ang1 mice with inducible expression of Ang2 or Ang1, respectively, have also helped to elucidate the role of Tie2 in the retina (Nambu H et al., “Angiopoietin 1 inhibits ocular neovascularization and breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier,” Gene Ther. 2004, 11:865-873). In mice with ischemic retinopathy, increased expression of Ang2 when VEGF is high (P12-17) increases retinal neovascularization, but increased expression at P20 when VEGF levels have come down, hastens regression of retinal neovascularization and findings were similar in other models of ocular neovascularization. In contrast, increased expression of Ang1 suppressed neovascularization and reduced vascular leakage in several model. Therefore, Ang2 reduces stabilizing signals from the matrix making endothelial cells dependent upon VEGF and other soluble stimulators; when VEGF is high, neovascularization is stimulated and when VEGF is low, neovascularization regresses. In contrast, Ang1 increases stabilizing signals from the matrix and makes the vasculature unresponsive to soluble stimulators like VEGF.
Angiopoietin 2 binds Tie2, but does not stimulate phosphorylation and therefore acts as an antagonist under most circumstances. In the eye, angiopoietin 2 is upregulated at sites of neovascularization and acts as a permissive factor for VEGF. Increased expression of VEGF in the retina does not stimulate sprouting of neovascularization from the superficial or intermediate capillary beds of the retina or the choriocapillaris, but does stimulate sprouting from the deep capillary bed where there is constitutive expression of angiopoietin 2 (Hackett S F et al., “Angiopoietin-2 plays an important role in retinal angiogenesis,” J. Cell. Physiol. 2002, 192:182-187). Co-expression of VEGF and angiopoietin 2 at the surface of the retina causes sprouting of neovascularization from the superficial retinal capillaries (Oshima Y et al., “Angiopoietin-2 enhances retinal vessel sensitivity to vascular endothelial growth factor,” J. Cell. Physiol. 2004, 199:412-417). In double transgenic mice with inducible expression of angiopoietin 2 in the retina, expression of angiopoietin 2 when VEGF levels were high markedly enhanced neovascularization and expression of angiopoietin 2 when VEGF levels were low caused regression of neovascularization. In double transgenic mice with inducible expression of angiopoietin 1, the induced expression of angiopoietin 1 in the retina strongly suppressed VEGF-induced vascular leakage or neovascularization (Nambu H et al., “Angiopoietin 1 inhibits ocular neovascularization and breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier,” Gene Ther. 2004, 11:865-873). In fact, in mice with high expression of VEGF in the retina which develop severe NV and retinal detachment, angiopoietin 1 is able to prevent the VEGF-induced detachments.
Regulation of Tie2 also occurs through an endothelial-specific phosphatase, vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE-PTP) in mice (Fachinger G et al., “Functional interaction of vascular endothelial-protein-tyrosine phosphatase with the angiopoietin receptor Tie-2,” Oncogene 1999, 18:5948-5943) and its human orthologue human protein tyrosine phosphatase-β (HPTP-β) (Krueger N X et al., “Structural diversity and evolution of human receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatases,” EMBO J. 1990, 9:3241-3252). Mice deficient in VE-PTP die at E10 with severe defects in vascular remodeling and maturation of developing vasculature. Silencing of HPTP-β in cultured human endothelial cells, enhances Ang1-induced phosphorylation of Tie2 and survival-promoting activity while hypoxia increases expression of HPTP-β and reduces Ang1-induced phosphorylation of Tie2 (Yacyshyn O K et al., “Thyrosine phosphatase beta regulates angiopoietin-Tie2 signaling in human endothelial cells,” Angiogenesis 2009, 12:25-33).
Diabetic retinopathy, if left untreated, can lead ultimately to blindness. Indeed, diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in working-age populations.
Therefore, the disclosed methods relate to preventing, treating, controlling, abating, and/or otherwise minimizing ocular neovascularization in a subject having diabetes or a subject diagnosed with diabetes. In addition, subjects having or subjects diagnosed with diabetes can be alerted to or can be made aware of the risks of developing diabetes-related blindness, therefore the present methods can be used to prevent or delay the onset of non-proliferative retinopathy in subjects known to be at risk. Likewise, the present methods can be used for treating subjects having or being diagnosed with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy to prevent progression of the condition.

Further disclosed are methods of treating or preventing one or more of the diseases or conditions described herein above related to ocular edema and/or neovascularization that are the result of administration of another pharmaceutically active agent. As such, this aspect relates to a method comprising administering to a subject a composition comprising:
The methods of the present disclosure may be combined with the standard of care, including but not limited to laser treatment.
Disclosed herein are formulations comprising the disclosed compounds as eye drops, a form of drug delivery that is pharmaceutically-acceptable to patients, convenient, safe, with an onset of action of several minutes. A standard eye drop used in therapy according to federal regulatory practice is sterile, is isotonic (i.e., a pH of about 7.4 for patient comfort), and, if to be used more than once, contains a preservative but has a limited shelf life after opening, usually one month. If the eye drops are packaged in a sterile, single use only unit-dose dispenser the preservative can be omitted.
One method of eye drop formulation comprises the purest form of the disclosed compound (e.g., greater than 99% purity), and mix the compound with purified water and adjust for physiological pH and isotonicity. Examples of buffering agents to maintain or adjust pH include, but are not limited to, acetate buffers, citrate buffers, phosphate buffers and borate buffers. Examples of tonicity adjustors are sodium chloride, mannitol and glycerin. Other pharmaceutically acceptable ingredients can also be added.
The formulated solution is then aliquoted into either a plurality of discrete, sterile disposable cartridges each of which is suitable for unit dosing, or a single cartridge for unit dosing. Such a single disposable cartridge may be, for example, a conical or cylindrical specific volume dispenser, with a container having side-walls squeezable in a radial direction to a longitudinal axis in order to dispense the container contents therefrom at one end of the container. Such disposable containers are currently used to dispense eye drops at 0.3 to 0.4 mL (e.g., Lens Plus™ and Refresh Plus™) per unit dosing, and are ideally adaptable for the delivery of eye drops.
Ophthalmic eye-drop solutions are also packaged in multidose form, for example, as a plastic bottle with an eye-dropper (e.g., Visine™ Original). In such formulations, preservatives are required to prevent microbial contamination after opening of the container. Suitable preservatives include, but are not limited to: benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal, chlorobutanol, methyl paraben, propyl paraben, phenylethyl alcohol, edetate disodium, sorbic acid, polyquatemium-1, or other agents known to those skilled in the art, and all of which are contemplated for use in the present invention. Such preservatives are typically employed at a level of from 0.001 to about 1.0% weight/volume.
Eye drops provide a pulse entry of the drug, but the drug is rapidly diluted by tears and flushed out of the eye. Polymers can be added to ophthalmic solutions in order to increase the viscosity of the vehicle; this prolongs contact with the cornea, often enhancing bioavailability. The types of polymers permitted by the Federal Food and Drug Administration in ophthalmic solutions are defined concentrations of cellulose derivatives (methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose)-, dextran 70, gelatin, polyols, glycerin, polyethylene glycol 300, polyethylene glycol 400, polysorbate 80, propylene glyclol, polyvinyl alcohol and povidone, all of which (singly or in combination) are contemplated for use in the present invention.
In certain clinical conditions, the eye drop solutions can be formulated with other pharmaceutical agents, in order to attenuate the irritancy of the other ingredient and to facilitate clinical response. Such agents may include, but are not limited to, a vasoconstrictor such as phenylephrine, oxymetazoline, napthazoline or tetrahydrozoline; a mast-cell stabilizer such as olopatadine; an antihistamine such as azelastine; an antibiotic such as tetracycline; a steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as betamethasone; a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug such as diclofenac; an immunomodulator such as imiquimod or interferons; and antiviral agents such as valaciclovir, cidofovir and trifluridine. The doses used for the above described purposes will vary, but will be in an effective amount to suppress discomfort, itch, irritation, or pain in the eye. When the compositions are dosed topically, the “pharmaceutically effective amount” of compound can generally be in a concentration range of from 0.05 mg/mL to about 500 mg/mL, with 1 to 4 drops administered as a unit dose 1 to 4 times per day. The most common method of ocular drug delivery is the instillation of drops into the lower eyelid (i.e., “eye drops”). About 70% of prescriptions for eye medication are for eye drops. This is due to factors such as expense, case of bulk manufacture, and patient compliance, as well as effective and uniform drug delivery. A key requirement is that the formulation be sterile and produced in a sterile environment. An ideal disclosed compound for use in ophthalmic solutions should be soluble and/or miscible in aqueous media at normal ocular pH and tonicity. Moreover, the disclosed compounds should be stable, non-toxic, long acting, and sufficiently potent to counteract dilution of drug concentration by blinking and tearing.
Also disclosed are methods from treating retinal neovascularization. Established retinal neovascularization can be treated by topically applying a composition comprising:
In one embodiment of this method, the composition comprises:
In another embodiment of this method, the composition comprises:
In a further embodiment of this method, the composition comprises:
In a yet another embodiment of this method, the composition comprises:
In addition to the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, these embodiments can comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable adjunct ingredients. Still further, the compositions can comprise:
In one embodiment of this method, the composition comprises:
Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically active agents suitable for combination with the disclosed compounds include anti-infectives, i.e., aminoglycosides, anti viral agents, antimicrobials, and the like; anticholinergics/antispasmotics; antidiabetic agents; antihypertensive agents; antineoplastics; cardiovascular agents; central nervous system agents; coagulation modifiers; hormones; immunologic agents; immunosuppressive agents; ophthalmic preparations; and the like.
The disclosed methods include administration of the disclosed compounds in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. By “pharmaceutically acceptable” is meant a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., the material may be administered to a subject without causing any undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the pharmaceutical formulation in which it is contained. The carrier would naturally be selected to minimize any degradation of the active ingredient and to minimize any adverse side effects in the subject, as would be well known to one of skill in the art. In another aspect, many of the disclosed compounds can be used prophylactically, i.e., as a preventative agent, either neat or with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The ionic liquid compositions disclosed herein can be conveniently formulated into pharmaceutical compositions composed of neat ionic liquid or in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. See e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, latest edition, by E.W. Martin Mack Pub. Co., Easton, Pa., which discloses typical carriers and conventional methods of preparing pharmaceutical compositions that can be used in conjunction with the preparation of formulations of the compounds described herein and which is incorporated by reference herein. Such pharmaceutical carriers, most typically, would be standard carriers for administration of compositions to humans and non-humans, including solutions such as sterile water, saline, and buffered solutions at physiological pH. Other compounds can be administered according to standard procedures used by those skilled in the art. For example, pharmaceutical compositions can also include one or more additional active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anesthetics, and the like. Examples of pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, saline, Ringer's solution and dextrose solution. The pH of the solution is preferably from about 5 to about 8, and more preferably from about 7 to about 7.5. Further carriers include sustained release preparations such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the disclosed compounds, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, liposomes, microparticles, or microcapsules. It will be apparent to those persons skilled in the art that certain carriers can be more preferable depending upon, for instance, the route of administration and concentration of composition being administered. Other compounds can be administered according to standard procedures used by those skilled in the art.
The disclosed method also relates to the administration of the disclosed compounds and compositions. Administration can be systemic via subcutaneous or i.v. administration; or the HPTP-β inhibitor will be administered directly to the eye, e.g., local. Local methods of administration include, for example, by eye drops, subconjunctival injections or implants, intravitreal injections or implants, sub-Tenon's injections or implants, incorporation in surgical irrigating solutions, etc.
The disclosed methods relate to administering the disclosed compounds as part of a pharmaceutical composition. Compositions suitable for topical administration are known to the art (see, for example, US Patent Application 2005/0059639 included herein by reference in its entirety). In various embodiments, compositions of the invention can comprise a liquid comprising an active agent in solution, in suspension, or both. As used herein, liquid compositions include gels. In one embodiment, the liquid composition is aqueous. Alternatively, the composition can take form of an ointment. In another embodiment, the composition is an in situ gellable aqueous composition. In iteration, the composition is an in situ gellable aqueous solution. Such a composition can comprise a gelling agent in a concentration effective to promote gelling upon contact with the eye or lacrimal fluid in the exterior of the eye. Aqueous compositions of the invention have ophthalmically compatible pH and osmolality. The composition can comprise an ophthalmic depot formulation comprising an active agent for subconjunctival administration. The microparticles comprising active agent can be embedded in a biocompatible pharmaceutically acceptable polymer or a lipid encapsulating agent. The depot formulations may be adapted to release all or substantially all the active material over an extended period of time. The polymer or lipid matrix, if present, may be adapted to degrade sufficiently to be transported from the site of administration after release of all or substantially all the active agent. The depot formulation can be a liquid formulation, comprising a pharmaceutical acceptable polymer and a dissolved or dispersed active agent. Upon injection, the polymer forms a depot at the injections site, e.g. by gelifying or precipitating. The composition can comprise a solid article that can be inserted in a suitable location in the eye, such as between the eye and eyelid or in the conjunctival sac, where the article releases the active agent. Solid articles suitable for implantation in the eye in such fashion generally comprise polymers and can be bioerodible or non-bioerodible.
In one embodiment of the disclosed methods, a human subject with at least one visually impaired eye is treated with 2-4000 μg of a disclosed compound via intravitreal injection. Improvement of clinical symptoms are monitored by one or more methods known to the art, for example, indirect ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, fluorescein angiopathy, electroretinography, external eye examination, slit lamp biomicroscopy, applanation tonometry, pachymetry, optical coherence tomography and autorefaction. Subsequent doses can be administered weekly or monthly, e.g., with a frequency of 2-8 weeks or 1-12 months apart.
The disclosed compositions include administration of the disclosed compounds in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. By “pharmaceutically acceptable” is meant a material that is not biologically or otherwise undesirable, i.e., the material may be administered to a subject without causing any undesirable biological effects or interacting in a deleterious manner with any of the other components of the pharmaceutical formulation in which it is contained. The carrier would naturally be selected to minimize any degradation of the active ingredient and to minimize any adverse side effects in the subject, as would be well known to one of skill in the art. In another aspect, many of the disclosed compounds can be used prophylactically, i.e., as a preventative agent, either neat or with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The ionic liquid compositions disclosed herein can be conveniently formulated into pharmaceutical compositions composed of neat ionic liquid or in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

Co., Easton, Pa., which discloses typical carriers and conventional methods of preparing pharmaceutical compositions that can be used in conjunction with the preparation of formulations of the compounds described herein and which is incorporated by reference herein. Such pharmaceutical carriers, most typically, would be standard carriers for administration of compositions to humans and non-humans, including solutions such as sterile water, saline, and buffered solutions at physiological pH. Other compounds can be administered according to standard procedures used by those skilled in the art. For example, pharmaceutical compositions can also include one or more additional active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anesthetics, and the like. Examples of pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, saline, Ringer's solution and dextrose solution.

Further carriers include sustained release preparations such as semipermeable matrices of solid hydrophobic polymers containing the disclosed compounds, which matrices are in the form of shaped articles, e.g., films, liposomes, microparticles, or microcapsules. It will be apparent to those persons skilled in the art that certain carriers can be more preferable depending upon, for instance, the route of administration and concentration of composition being administered. Other compounds can be administered according to standard procedures used by those skilled in the art.
Pharmaceutical formulations can include additional carriers, as well as thickeners, diluents, buffers, preservatives, surface active agents and the like in addition to the compounds disclosed herein. Pharmaceutical formulations can also include one or more additional active ingredients such as antimicrobial agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anesthetics, and the like.
For the purposes of the present disclosure the term “excipient” and “carrier” are used interchangeably throughout the description of the present disclosure and said terms are defined herein as, “ingredients which are used in the practice of formulating a safe and effective pharmaceutical composition.”
The formulator will understand that excipients are used primarily to serve in delivering a safe, stable, and functional pharmaceutical, serving not only as part of the overall vehicle for delivery but also as a means for achieving effective absorption by the recipient of the active ingredient. An excipient may fill a role as simple and direct as being an inert filler, or an excipient as used herein may be part of a pH stabilizing system or coating to insure delivery of the ingredients safely to the stomach. The formulator can also take advantage of the fact the compounds of the present disclosure have improved cellular potency, pharmacokinetic properties, as well as improved oral bioavailability.
The term “effective amount” as used herein means “an amount of one or more of the disclosed compounds, effective at dosages and for periods of time necessary to achieve the desired or therapeutic result.” An effective amount may vary according to factors known in the art, such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of the human, animal being treated or route of administration. Although particular dosage regimes may be described in examples herein, a person skilled in the art would appreciated that the dosage regime may be altered to provide optimum therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. In addition, the compositions of the present disclosure can be administered as frequently as necessary to achieve a therapeutic amount.

The following studies were conducted to measure the effect of the disclosed compounds on vascular leak and neovascularization of retina tissue.
Twenty (20) 21 day old Rhodopsin/VEGF transgenic mice having constitutive expression of VEGF in their retinal neurons as disclosed by Tobe T et al., in “Evolution of neovascularization in mice with over expression of vascular endothelial growth factor in photoreceptors” Invest Ophthalmol Visual Sci. 1998; 39:180-188 mg/kg, were divided into two equal groups. Each group received subcutaneous injections as follows: Group 1 received 10 mg/kg/injection (high dose) of a compound from Table XXI; and Group 2 received injections of vehicle. Two injections were given to each animal on Day 1 while one injection was given to each animal on Day 2.
Two hours after the third and final dose on Day 2, the animals were euthanized, mice were euthanized, retinas removed, and immunohistochemical staining for albumin was done. Briefly, eyes were harvested and fixed in 10% PBS-buffered formalin for 2 hours at room temperature. Retinas were dissected and put in PBS in an Eppendorf tube and blocked with 8% normal donkey serum with 0.05% triton for 1 hour. A goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (Abcam) was added at a 1:150 dilution and stained at RT for 2 hours. After 3 washes with PBST, a donkey anti-goat antibody conjugated with DyLight 593 (from Jackson ImmunoResearch) was added and stained at RT for 50 minutes avoiding light. After 3 washes with PBST, retinas were mounted and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Areas of albumin staining were assessed using image analysis software (ImagePro Plus 5).
Twenty (20) 21 day old Rhodopsin/VEGF transgenic mice having constitutive expression of VEGF in their retinal neurons were divided into two equal groups. Each group received subcutaneous injections as follows: Group 1 received 3 mg/kg/injection (low dose) of a compound from Table XXI; and Group 2 received injections of vehicle. Two injections were given to each animal on Day 1 while one injection was given to each animal on Day 2.
Two hours after the final dose on Day 2 the animals were euthanized and ocular samples were prepared as described in Study 1 above.
Study 3
Thirty (30) Rhodopsin/VEGF transgenic mice having constitutive expression of VEGF in their retinal neurons were divided into three equal groups. At day 14 post natal each group received subcutaneous injections as follows: Group 1 received 10 mg/kg/injection (high dose) of a compound from Table XXI; Group 2 received 3 mg/kg/injection (low dose) of a compound from Table XXI; and Group 3 received injections of vehicle. Each animal received two injections per day for 7 days.
At P21, mice were sacrificed; eyes were harvested and fixed in 10% PBS-buffered formalin for 2 hours at room temperature. Retinas were dissected and put in PBS in an Eppendorf tube and stained with GSA-Lectin conjugated with FITC for 2 hours at room temperature. After 3 washes with PBST, retinas were mounted and imaged by fluorescence microscopy. Areas of retinal neovascularization were assessed using image analysis software (ImagePro Plus 5).
C57BL/6 mice were treated in accordance with the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology Guidelines on the care and use of animals in research. The mice were placed in 75% oxygen at postnatal day (P) 7 and returned to room air on P12 to create retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Postnatal day (P) 17, mice with oxygen-induced ischemic retinopathy have areas of ischemic retina and develop neovascularization on the surface of the retina. The mice were euthanized and eyes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 4 hours and retinas were dissected. After blocking with 10% normal goat serum for 1 hour, retinas were incubated with 1:200 rabbit anti-VE-PTP (mouse orthologue of HPTPβ) antibody at for 3 hours. After washing, retinas were incubated with 1:800 goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated with Cy-3 (Jackson Immuno Laboratory) and then counterstained with FITC-conjugated Griffonia Simplicifolia lectin (GSA). Retinas were flat mounted and examined by fluorescence microscopy (Axioskop; Zeiss, Thornwood, N.Y.).
At P17, retinas from mice with ROP and retinal neovascularization (NV) were dissected and immunofluorescently stained for VE-PTP-HPTP-β and also stained with FITC-labeled Griffonia Simplicifolia (GSA) lectin. As can be seen in Figures A and D, the GSA staining shows clumps of neovascularization on the surface of the retina with some faint staining of retinal vessels in the background. As depicted in Figures B and C, there was strong staining for HPTP-β in clumps of retinal neovascularization on the surface of the retina and faint staining of some underlying retinal vessels, primarily feeder vessels leading to the neovascularization.
Fluorescence microscopy with the green channel showed clumps of GSA-stained neovascularization on the surface of the retina with some faint staining of retinal vessels in the background (Figures A and D). The retina from a room air (RA) control mouse showed normal retinal vessels with no neovascularation (Figure G). There was strong staining for HPTP-β in clumps of retinal neovascularization on the surface of the retina and faint staining of some underlying retinal vessels, primarily feeder vessels leading to the neovascularization (Figures B and C). There was no detectable staining of retinal vessels in the non-ischemic retinas of RA control mice (Figures H and I). Therefore, VE-PTP/HPTP-0 is upregulated in retinal endothelial cells participating in neovascularization.
Blockade of VE-PTP (HPTP-β) with a Disclosed HPTP-β Inhibitor Promotes Phosphorylation of Tie2 in the Retinal Endothelial Cells In Vivo
Transgenic mice in which the rhodopsin promoter drives expression of Vegf in photoreceptors (rho/VEGF mice) were used as a model of subretinal neovascularization. At P7, increased levels of VEGF are detectable in photoreceptors, at P14 there are sprouts of neovascularization extending from the deep capillary bed of the retina into the subretinal space, and at P21 there are several clumps of neovascularization in the subretinal space. Rho/VEGF mice were given a subcutaneous injection of vehicle or 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI at P21. Twelve hours after injection 12 hours after injection, mice were euthanized. Eyes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 4 hours and retinas were dissected. After blocking with 10% normal goat serum for 1 hour, retinas were incubated with 1:200 rabbit anti-phospho-TIE2 antibody (R&D, Minneapolis, Minn., USA) at room temperature for 3 hours. After washing, retinas were incubated with goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated with Cy-3. The retinas were immunostained for phosphorylated Tie2 and counter-stained with Griffonia Simplicifolia (GSA) lectin which labels vascular cells. Retinas from control (vehicle-treated rho/VEGF mice) showed light phosphoTie staining in neovascularization (
Mice with oxygen-induced ischemic retinopathy, a model predictive of effects in proliferative diabetic retinopathy, were given an intraocular injection of 3 μg of a compound from Table XXI in one eye and vehicle in the fellow eye. At P17, there was little neovascularization on the surface of the retina in eyes treated with a compound from Table XXI (
The subretinal neovascularization that occurs in rho/VEGF mice is similar to what has been termed retinal angiomatous proliferation (RAP) which occurs in 30% of patients with neovascular AMD (See, Yannuzzi L A et al., “Retinal angiomatous proliferation in age-related macular degeneration,” Retina 2001, 21:416-434). Efficacy in this model has predicted a good outcome in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Hemizygous rho/VEGF transgenic mice were given daily subcutaneous injections of vehicle containing 0, 3, or 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI starting at postnatal day (P) 15. At P21, mice that had been treated with vehicle showed many clumps of subretinal neovascularization (
A mouse model of choroidal neovascularization that is predictive of a compound's effect in patients with neovascular AMD, subcutaneous injections of 20 or 40 mg/kg a compound from Table XXI significantly reduced choroidal neovascularization (
Sustained delivery of VEGF in the vitreous cavity of primates causes macular edema (Ozaki, 1997) and VEGF has been validated as a critical target in diabetic macular edema (Nguyen, 2006 and Nguyen, 2009). In rho/VEGF transgenic mice, the excess production of VEGF in photoreceptors causes leakage of plasma and serum proteins into the retina. In the healthy retina, there is little serum protein, for example, albumin. Therefore immunohistochemical staining for albumin was used to assess for breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier. There was little staining for albumin seen in the retinas of rho/VEGF mice treated with 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI (
Tet/opsin/VEGF double transgenic mice represent an extremely aggressive model of ocular neovascularization and vascular leakage. When treated with doxycycline they develop severe neovascularization and exudative retinal detachment. When given injections of doxycycline, double transgenic mice with doxycycline-inducible expression of VEGF express 10-fold higher levels of VEGF than rho/VEGF transgenic mice and develop severe neovascularization and exudative retinal detachments within 3-5 days.
Double hemizygous Tet/opsin/VEGF mice were pretreated for 3 days with twice a day subcutaneous injections of 3 (n=10), 10 (n=8), or 50 mg/kg (n=10) of a compound from Table XXI or vehicle (n=10) and then treatment was continue for 4 days during which 50 mg/kg of doxycycline was also injected. After 4 days, mice were euthanized and eyes were frozen in optical cutting temperature (OCT) embedding solution. Ten micron ocular sections through the optic nerve were stained with Hoechst (1:1,000; Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.). Sections were examined by light microscopy and the total length of the retina and the length of the retina that was detached was measured by image analysis with the investigator masked with respect to treatment group. The percentage the retina that was detached was computed.
Near total retinal detachments occurred in all mice treated with vehicle (
Using the same procedures as described herein above, the eyes of Rho/VEGF mice were treated subcutaneously twice a day with 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI or with vehicle beginning on P21 and concluding on P27.
Disclosed Compounds Prevent VEGF Induced Retinal Neovascularization when Administered Topically.
Using the same procedures as described herein above, the eyes of Rho/VEGF mice were treated with a topically applied composition as disclosed herein three times a day with such that 30 mg/ml of a compound from Table XXI is delivered beginning on P21 and concluding on P27. Control mice were treated topically with vehicle only.
Ischemic retinopathy was produced in C57BL/6 mice by a method described by Smith L E H et al., “Oxygen-induced retinopathy in the mouse,” Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 1994, 35:101-111, included herein by reference in its entirety. Postnatal day (P) 7 mice and their mothers were placed in an airtight incubator and exposed to an atmosphere of 75±3% oxygen for 5 days. Oxygen was continuously monitored with a PROOX model 110 oxygen controller (Reming Bioinstruments Co., Redfield, N.Y.). At P12, mice were returned to room air and under a dissecting microscope, a Harvard Pump Microinjection System and pulled glass pipettes were used to give a 1 μl intraocular injection of 3 μg of a compound from Table XXI in one eye and vehicle in the fellow eye. At P17, the area of neovascularization on the surface of the retina was measured at P17 as previously described by Shen J et al., “In vivo immunostaining demonstrates macrophages associate with growing and regressing vessels,” Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2007, 48:4335-4341, included herein by reference in its entirety. Briefly, mice were given an intraocular injection of 1 μl containing 0.5 μg rat anti-mouse PECAM antibody (Pharmingen, San Jose, Calif.) and after 12 hours they were euthanized and eyes were fixed in 10% formalin for 4 hours. Retinas were dissected, incubated for 40 minutes in 1:500 goat anti-rat IgG conjugated with Alexa488 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, Calif.), washed, and whole mounted. An observer masked with respect to treatment group examined the slides with a Nikon Fluorescence microscope and measured the area of neovascularization per retina by computerized image analysis using ImagePro Plus software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, Md.).
Transgenic Mice with Increased Expression of VEGF in Photoreceptors
Transgenic mice in which the rhodopsin promoter drives expression of VEGF in photoreceptors (rho/VEGF mice) have onset of VEGF expression at P7 and starting at P10 develop sprouts of neovascularization from the deep capillary bed of the retina that grow through the photoreceptor layer and form an extensive network of new vessels in the subretinal space. Between P15 and P21, hemizygous rho/VEGF mice were given a subcutaneous injection of 3 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI or vehicle twice a day. In another experiment at P15 and P17, mice were given an intraocular injection of 3 μg of a compound from Table XXI in one eye and vehicle in the fellow eye. At P21, the mice were euthanized and eyes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 6 hours. Retinas were dissected and blocked with 3% bovine serum albumin in PBS for one hour. FITC conjugated GSA was used to stain the retinas at room temperature for 2 hours and then the retinas were flat mounted with the photoreceptor side up and examined by fluorescence microscopy. The area of subretinal neovascularization was measured by image analysis with the investigator masked with respect to treatment group.
Choroidal neovascularization was generated as previously described. Adult C57BL/6 mice had rupture of Bruch's membrane in 3 locations in each eye and then were given subcutaneous injections of 10 or 30 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI or vehicle twice a day for 14 days. In another experiment, mice were given an intraocular injection of 1 μl containing 3 or 5 μg of a compound from Table XXI in one eye and vehicle in the fellow eye immediately after rupture of Bruch's membrane and 7 days later. Fourteen days after laser, mice were perfused with fluorescein-labeled dextran (2×106 average MW, Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.) and choroidal flat mounts were examined by fluorescence microscopy. The area of choroidal neovascularization at each Bruch's membrane rupture site was measured by image analysis by an observer masked with respect to treatment group. The area of choroidal neovascularization at the 3 rupture sites in one eye were averaged to give one experimental value.
At P20, rho/VEGF mice were given a subcutaneous injection of 3 or 10 mg/kg of a compound from Table XXI or vehicle which was repeated 12 hours later. At P21, a third injection was given and then and 2 hours later, mice were euthanized, retinas were dissected and immunofluorescently stained for albumin as previously described by Lima e Silva R et al., “Agents that bind annexin A2 suppress ocular neovascularization,” J. Cell. Physiol. 2010, 225:855-864, included herein by reference in its entirety. The vessels were labeled by counterstaining with GSA lectin. Retinas were flat mounted, examined by fluorescence microscopy, and the area of albumin staining was measured by image analysis with the investigator masked with respect to treatment group.
