The term “alkylsulfonyl” as used herein means a moiety having the formula —S(O2)—R′, where R′ is an alkyl group as defined above. R′ may have a specified number of carbons (e.g., “C1-C4 alkylsulfonyl”).
Each of the above terms (e.g., “alkyl,” “heteroalkyl,” “aryl” and “heteroaryl”) are meant to include both substituted and unsubstituted forms of the indicated radical unless stated otherwise.
Substituents for the alkyl and heteroalkyl radicals (including those groups often referred to as alkylene, alkenyl, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, heterocycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, and heterocycloalkenyl) can be one or more of a variety of groups selected from, but not limited to: —OR′, ═O, ═NR′, ═N—OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR″R′″, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NR′—C(NR′R″R′″)═NR″″, —NR—C(NR′ R″)═NR″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NRSO2R′, —CN and —NO2 in a number ranging from zero to (2m′+1), where m′ is the total number of carbon atoms in such radical. R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ each independently refer to hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl (e.g., aryl substituted with 1-3 halogens), substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy or thioalkoxy groups, or arylalkyl groups. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ groups when more than one of these groups is present. When R′ and R″ are attached to the same nitrogen atom, they can be combined with the nitrogen atom to form a 4-, 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring. For example, —NR′R″ is meant to include, but not be limited to, 1-pyrrolidinyl and 4-morpholinyl. From the above discussion of substituents, one of skill in the art will understand that the term “alkyl” is meant to include groups including carbon atoms bound to groups other than hydrogen groups, such as haloalkyl (e.g., —CF3 and —CH2CF3) and acyl (e.g., —C(O)CH3, —C(O)CF3, —C(O)CH2OCH3, and the like).
Similar to the substituents described for the alkyl radical, substituents for the aryl and heteroaryl groups are varied and may be selected from, for example: halogen, —OR′, —NR′R″, —SR′, -halogen, —SiR′R″R′″, —OC(O)R′, —C(O)R′, —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —OC(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)R′, —NR′—C(O)NR′R″, —NR″C(O)2R′, —NR—C(NR′R″R′″)═NR″″, —NR′—C(NR′R″)═NR′″, —S(O)R′, —S(O)2R′, —S(O)2NR′R″, —NR′SO2R′, —CN and —NO2, —R′, —N3, —CH(Ph)2, fluoro(C1-C4)alkoxy, and fluoro(C1-C4)alkyl, in a number ranging from zero to the total number of open valences on the aromatic ring system; and where R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ are preferably independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl. When a compound of the invention includes more than one R group, for example, each of the R groups is independently selected as are each R′, R″, R′″ and R″″ groups when more than one of these groups is present.
Two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally form a ring of the formula -T-C(O)—(CRR′)q—U—, wherein T and U are independently —NR—, —O—, —CRR′— or a single bond, and q is an integer of from 0 to 3. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula -A-(CH2)r—B—, wherein A and B are independently —CRR′—, —O—, —NR—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, —S(O)2NR′— or a single bond, and r is an integer of from 1 to 4. One of the single bonds of the new ring so formed may optionally be replaced with a double bond. Alternatively, two of the substituents on adjacent atoms of the aryl or heteroaryl ring may optionally be replaced with a substituent of the formula —(CRR′)s—X′—(C″R′″)d—, where s and d are independently integers of from 0 to 3, and X′ is —O—, —NR′—, —S—, —S(O)—, —S(O)2—, or —S(O)2NR′—. The substituents R, R′, R″ and R′″ are preferably independently selected from hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl.
Unless otherwise stated, the term “heteroatom” or “ring heteroatom” is meant to include oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), and silicon (Si).

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” is meant to include salts of the active compounds which are prepared with relatively nontoxic acids or bases, depending on the particular substituents found on the compounds described herein. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively acidic functionalities, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired base, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amino, or magnesium salt, or a similar salt. When compounds of the present invention contain relatively basic functionalities, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting the neutral form of such compounds with a sufficient amount of the desired acid, either neat or in a suitable inert solvent. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts include those derived from inorganic acids like hydrochloric, hydrobromic, nitric, carbonic, monohydrogencarbonic, phosphoric, monohydrogenphosphoric, dihydrogenphosphoric, sulfuric, monohydrogensulfuric, hydriodic, or phosphorous acids and the like, as well as the salts derived from relatively nontoxic organic acids like acetic, propionic, isobutyric, maleic, malonic, benzoic, succinic, suberic, fumaric, lactic, mandelic, phthalic, benzenesulfonic, p-tolylsulfonic, citric, tartaric, oxalic, methanesulfonic, and the like. Also included are salts of amino acids such as arginate and the like, and salts of organic acids like glucuronic or galactunoric acids and the like. See e.g., Berge et al., “Pharmaceutical Salts”, Journal of Pharmaceutical Science, 1977, 66, 1-19). Additional information on suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be found in R
Thus, the compounds disclosed herein may exist as salts.

These salts may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art.
The neutral forms of the compounds are preferably regenerated by contacting the salt with a base or acid and isolating the parent compound in the conventional manner. The parent form of the compound differs from the various salt forms in certain physical properties, such as solubility in polar solvents.
The term “prodrug” is used according to its plain ordinary meaning and is intended to mean compounds that require a chemical or enzymatic transformation in order to release the active parent drug in vivo prior to producing a pharmacological effect.
The compounds of the present invention may have asymmetric centers and/or geometric isomers. Compounds of the present invention containing an asymmetrically substituted atom may be isolated in optically active or racemic forms. It is well known in the art how to prepare optically active forms, such as by resolution of materials. All chiral, diastereomeric, racemic forms are within the scope of this invention, unless the specific stereochemistry or isomeric form is specifically indicated. All possible tautomers and cis and trans isomers, as individual forms and mixtures thereof are within the scope of this invention. Additionally, as used herein the term alkyl includes all the possible isomeric forms of the alkyl group albeit only a few examples are set forth. Furthermore, when the cyclic groups such as aryl, heteroaryl, heterocycloalkyl are substituted, they include all the positional isomers albeit only a few examples are set forth. Furthermore, all polymorphic forms, including amorphous form, and hydrates of a compound disclosed herein are within the scope of this invention.
Certain compounds of the present invention possess asymmetric carbon atoms (optical centers) or double bonds; the racemates, diastereomers, tautomers, geometric isomers and individual isomers are encompassed within the scope of the present invention, as are enantiomers. The compounds of the present invention do not include those which are known in the art to be too unstable to synthesize and/or isolate.
The compounds of the present invention may also contain unnatural proportions of atomic isotopes at one or more of the atoms that constitute such compounds. For example, the compounds may be radiolabeled with radioactive isotopes, such as for example tritium (3H), iodine-125 (125I) or carbon-14 (14C). All isotopic variations of the compounds of the present invention, whether radioactive or not, are encompassed within the scope of the present invention.
Where a substituent of a compound provided herein is “R-substituted” (e.g., R7-substituted), it is meant that the substituent is substituted with one or more of the named R groups (e.g., R7) as appropriate. Each appearance of the substituent may be different. In some embodiments, the substituent is substituted with only one of the named R groups. Each of the numbered R substituents provided herein may be alternatively referred to as a primed number such as a first prime (′), a second prime (″), a third prime (′″) and so on. For example, R7 may be alternatively referred to as R7′, R7″, R7′″ and so on. Unless otherwise noted, the primed number of the R substituent is accorded the same definition as the R substituent itself, but where the primed number of the R substituent is optionally different from the R substituent itself when both appear in a compound disclosed herein. For example, R7 and R7′, unless otherwise stated, are independently chosen from the same Markush group definition.
A “pharmaceutically acceptable carrier” or “pharmaceutically acceptable excipient” means a carrier or an excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical composition that is generally safe, non-toxic and neither biologically nor otherwise undesirable, and includes a carrier or an excipient that is acceptable for veterinary use as well as human pharmaceutical use. “A pharmaceutically acceptable carrier/excipient” as used in the specification and claims includes both one and more than one such excipient.
The terms “treating” or “treatment” refers to any indicia of success in the treatment or amelioration of an injury, pathology or condition, including any objective or subjective parameter such as abatement; remission; diminishing of symptoms or making the injury, pathology or condition more tolerable to the patient; slowing in the rate of degeneration or decline; making the final point of degeneration less debilitating; improving a patient's physical or mental well-being. The treatment or amelioration of symptoms can be based on objective or subjective parameters; including the results of a physical examination, neuropsychiatric exams, and/or a psychiatric evaluation. For example, the certain methods presented herein successfully treat cancer by decreasing the incidence of cancer, in inhibiting its growth and or causing remission of cancer.
An “effective amount” of a compound is an amount sufficient to contribute to the treatment, prevention, or reduction of a symptom or symptoms of a disease. Where recited in reference to a disease treatment, an “effective amount” may also be referred to as a “therapeutically effective amount.” A “reduction” of a symptom or symptoms (and grammatical equivalents of this phrase) means decreasing of the severity or frequency of the symptom(s), or elimination of the symptom(s). A “prophylactically effective amount” of a drug is an amount of a drug that, when administered to a subject, will have the intended prophylactic effect, e.g., preventing or delaying the onset (or reoccurrence) a disease, disorder or condition, or reducing the likelihood of the onset (or reoccurrence) of a disease, disorder or condition or symptoms thereof. The full prophylactic effect does not necessarily occur by administration of one dose, and may occur only after administration of a series of doses. Thus, a prophylactically effective amount may be administered in one or more administrations.
The term “topical” in the context of methods described herein relates in the customary sense to the administration of a compound or pharmaceutical composition which is incorporated into a suitable pharmaceutical carrier and administered at a topical treatment site of a subject. Accordingly, the term “topical pharmaceutical composition” includes those pharmaceutical forms in which the compound is administered externally by direct contact with a topical treatment site, e.g., the eye or the skin. The term “topical ocular pharmaceutical composition” refers to a pharmaceutical composition suitable for administering directly to the eye. The term “topical epidermal pharmaceutical composition” refers to a pharmaceutical composition suitable for administering directed to the epidermal layer of the skin, e.g., the palpebra, the supercilium, the scalp, or the body. The term “topical administering” refers to administering externally by direct contact with a topical treatment site. The term “topical epidermal administering” refers to administering externally by direct contact with the epidermis. The term “topical ocular administering” refers to administering externally by direct contact with the eye.
Methods of administering to the skin may include “topical palpebra administering” which refers to administering to the palpebra (i.e., eyelid) and especially the portion of the palpebra from which the cilia (i.e., eyelashes) grow. Methods of administering to the skin further include “topical supercilium administering” which refers to administering to the supercilium (i.e., the ridge above the eye) from which the supercilia (i.e., eyebrows) grow. Methods of administering to the skin further include “topical scalp administering” which refers to administering directly to the scalp. Methods of administering to the skin further include “topical body administering” which refers to administering directly to parts of the body excluding the scalp.
Conventional pharmaceutical forms for this purpose include ointments, liniments, creams, shampoos, lotions, pastes, jellies, sprays, aerosols, and the like, and may be applied in patches or impregnated dressings depending on the part of the body to be treated. The term “ointment” embraces formulations (including creams) having oleaginous, water-soluble and emulsion-type bases, e.g., petrolatum, lanolin, polyethylene glycols, as well as mixtures of these.
The term “piliation” refers in the customary sense to the formation and growth of hair. Accordingly, piliation and “hair growth” are used synonymously herein.

Other excipient components which may be included in the ophthalmic preparations are chelating agents. The preferred chelating agent is edentate disodium, although other chelating agents may also be used in place of or in conjunction with it.
The ophthalmic formulations of the present invention are conveniently packaged in forms suitable for metered application, such as in containers equipped with a brush, to facilitate application to the palpebra. In one embodiment, an application brush is disposed within a unit dose vial. Vials suitable for unit dose application are usually made of suitable inert, non-toxic plastic material, and generally contain between about 0.5 and about 15 ml solution, emulsion, gel or foam. One package may contain one or more unit doses.
Preservative-free solutions are often formulated in non-resealable containers containing up to about ten, preferably up to about five units doses, where a typical unit dose is from one to about 8 drops, preferably one to about 3 drops.
For topical use on the eyelids or eyebrows, the active compounds can be formulated in aqueous solutions, creams, ointments or oils exhibiting physiologically acceptable osmolarity by addition of pharmacologically acceptable buffers and salts. Such formulations may or may not, depending on the dispenser, contain preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride, chlorhexidine, chlorobutanol, parahydroxybenzoic acids and phenylmercuric salts such as nitrate, chloride, acetate, and borate, or antioxidants, as well as additives like EDTA, sorbitol, boric acid etc. as additives. Furthermore, particularly aqueous solutions may contain viscosity increasing agents such as polysaccharides, e.g., methylcellulose, mucopolysaccharides, e.g., hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, or polyalcohol, e.g., polyvinylalcohol. Various slow releasing gels and matrices may also be employed as well as soluble and insoluble ocular inserts, for instance, based on substances forming in-situ gels.
For topical use on the skin and the scalp, the compound can be advantageously formulated using ointments, creams, liniments or patches as a carrier of the active ingredient. Also, these formulations may or may not contain preservatives, depending on the dispenser and nature of use. Such preservatives include those mentioned above, and methyl-, propyl-, or butyl-parahydroxybenzoic acid, betain, chlorhexidine, benzalkonium chloride, and the like. Various matrices for slow release delivery may also be used.
Typically, the compounds are applied repeatedly for a sustained period of time topically on the part of the body to be treated, for example, the eyelids, eyebrows, body or scalp. The preferred dosage regimen will generally involve regular administration for a period of treatment of at least one month, more preferably at least three months, and most preferably at least six months. The regular administration can be 1, 2, 3, 4 or even more times per day.
Formulations for use in the methods and pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein include Formulation A, provided in Table 1 following.

As customary in the art, the term “q.s.” (i.e., quantum satis) refers to as much as is enough. For example, “water q.s. to 100%” refers to sufficient water to bring the formulation to 100%.
Additional formulations for use in the methods and pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein include formulations exemplified in Tables 2 and 3 following, wherein the amount of each component (i.e., % w/w) is included within the indicated range.
B. Effective Dosages
Pharmaceutical compositions provided herein include compositions wherein the active ingredient (e.g., a compound with structure of Formula (I), (II), (III), (IV), (IIa), (IIb), (IIc), (IIIa), (IIIb), (IIIc), (IIId), (IVa), (IVb), or (IVc) or derivative, isomer or enantiomer thereof and including embodiments thereof) is contained in a therapeutically effective amount. The actual amount effective for a particular application will depend, inter alia, on the disease, disorder or condition being treated.
The dosage and frequency (single or multiple doses) of compound administered can vary depending upon a variety of factors, including route of administration; size, age, sex, health, body weight, body mass index, and diet of the recipient; nature and extent of symptoms of the disease, disorder or condition being treated (e.g., the degree of hair loss); presence of other diseases or other health-related problems; kind of concurrent treatment; and complications from any disease or treatment regimen. Other therapeutic regimens or agents can be used in conjunction with the methods and compounds of the invention.
Therapeutically effective amounts for use in humans may be determined from animal models. For example, a dose for humans can be formulated to achieve a concentration that has been found to be effective in animals. The dosage in humans can be adjusted by monitoring piliation and adjusting the dosage upwards or downwards, as described herein.
Dosages may be varied depending upon the requirements of the subject and the compound being employed. The dose administered to a subject, in the context of the present invention, should be sufficient to effect a beneficial therapeutic response in the patient over time. The size of the dose also will be determined by the existence, nature, and extent of any adverse side effects. Generally, treatment is initiated with smaller dosages, which are less than the optimum dose of the compound. Thereafter, the dosage is increased by small increments until the optimum effect under circumstances is reached.
Dosage amounts and intervals can be adjusted individually to provide levels of the administered compound effective for the particular clinical indication being treated. This will provide a therapeutic regimen that is commensurate with the severity of the individual's disease state.
Utilizing the teachings provided herein, an effective prophylactic or therapeutic treatment regimen can be planned that does not cause substantial toxicity and yet is entirely effective to treat the clinical symptoms demonstrated by the particular patient. This planning should involve the careful choice of active compound by considering factors such as compound potency, relative bioavailability, patient body weight, presence and severity of adverse side effects, preferred mode of administration, and the toxicity profile of the selected agent.

Experimental Design.
In vitro irritation screening assays were conducted for compounds described herein. Test system was the reconstructed human epidermis (RHE), as known in the art. Single dosing was employed, and endpoints were evaluated as a function of time up to 24-hrs. Endpoints were tissue viability and IL-1α release.
Test Compounds.
Test compounds included Cmpds IVa (0.03%), Mb (0.03%), IVb (0.03%), bimatoprost (0.03%), minoxidil (5%, foam), and minoxidil (5%, solution). Administration of Cmpds IVa, Mb, IVb and bimatoprost employed the vehicle of Formulation A. See Table 1 above. Administration of minoxidil employed minoxidil vehicle with formulation 20% H2O, 50% propylene glycol, and 30% ethanol.
Results.
In the RHE system, no significant decreases in tissue viability were observed for any of the tested compounds up to 24-hrs. Similarly, no significant increase in IL-1α release was observed during this time.
Conclusion.
Cmpds IVa, Mb, and IVb showed no indication of potential for irritation of the human skin at concentration 0.03%. Irritation potential is comparable to commercially available formulations of minoxidil, as known in the art.
Experimental Design.
Female rats were administered either vehicle or one of Cmpds IVa, Mb, or IVb daily for 8 days. The administered dose was 3 mg/kg/day, at a concentration of 3 mg/mL. Observed data were body weight, viability, food consumption, and dermal observation (skin reaction grading), as known in the art. The vehicle was Formulation A. See Table 1 above.
Results.
No morbidity or unscheduled death of a test animal was observed. Moreover, there was no observed clinical signs of toxicity. Regarding dermal observations, there was no observation of edema. There was minimal and transient signs of irritation at days 2-4 for Cmpds IVa and Mb.
Regarding food consumption and body weight changes, as provided in Table 4 following, for Cmpds IVa and Mb no significant change in food consumption or body weight gain was observed during the experiment. Although not statistically significant, decreases in both food consumption and body weight gain were observed for Cmpd IVb. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that the decrease in food consumption and body weight for Cmpd IVb was due to decreases in a subset of the tested animals (i.e., 2 of 3 demonstrated decreases in food consumption and body weight.
Experimental Design.
Cmpds IVa, Mb, and IVb were subjected to the microAmes screen, as known in the art.
Results.
Cmpds IVa, Mb, and IVb were judged to be not mutagenic, with or without metabolic activation, under the conditions of the microAmes screen.
Experimental Design.
Cellular dielectric spectroscopy (CDS) was conducted in an assay of dermal papilla cells (i.e., human hair dermal papilla cells, HHDPC) with bimatoprost and Cmpds IVc and IVb. As known in the art, CDS is a real-time, non-invasive, label-free, high-throughput, cell-based assay which measures electrical cell impedance. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that GPCR activation induces changes in cell morphology, cell-cell interaction, and cell adherence which manifest as a change in cell impedance.
Results.
Functional studies of bimatoprost, Cmpd IVc and Cmpd IVb to HHDPC were conducted. For bimatoprost, submicromolar activity was observed, as judged by EC50 values in the range 3.0 to 6.3×10−7 mol/L. In contrast, EC50 could not be determined for Cmpds IVc and IVb in the range of 10−4 to 10−13 mol/L. As understood in the art, the term “EC50” refers to the effective concentration at 50% of maximum activity.
Moreover, bimatoprost interacts with HHDPC to provide a characteristic change in cell impedance which is understood to correlate with receptor binding. In contrast, Cmpds IVc and IVb were not observed to provide a change in cell impedance under the conditions of the assay.
Conclusion.
Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that compounds disclosed herein (e.g., Cmpds IVc and IVb) do not activate HHDPC. In contrast, bimatoprost activates HHDPC. Accordingly, compounds described herein which undergo hydrolysis can afford bimatoprost, which can then activate HHDPC.
Experimental Design.
C57Black/6J, 7-week old female mice (n=10) were employed in piliation studies. Dorsal hair was shaved (area ˜2 cm×4 cm). Dosing of active agent was once per day (QD) by topical administration for 14 days. Observations were conducted for 42-days to determine onset of new hair growth and day of hair growth completion. Compounds were formulated as either a) 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, 20% water, or b) the formulation of Formulation A described above. The experiments reported for

Conclusion.
Compounds disclosed herein were tested for the ability to induce hair growth. The 15-proprionyl bimatoprost Cmpd IVb appeared to have the best activity in the time required to regain full hair growth. It is noted that 0.03% bimatoprost is the same active agent which is found in the marketed hair growth product LATISSE®. With reference to
Accordingly, Cmpd IVa demonstrates pharmacological efficacy greater than bimatoprost in the mouse model of hair regrowth using a vehicle formulation of 50% propylene glycol, 30% ethanol, 20% water. Moreover, Cmpd IVa demonstrates pharmacological efficacy greater than bimatoprost in this model using a vehicle formulation of Formulation A. Within statistical significance limits, Cmpds Mb and IVb provide approximately equivalent efficacy in this model with respect to bimatoprost using a vehicle formulation of Formulation A.
Moreover, as surprisingly demonstrated in
Experimental Design.

The rate of formation of bimatoprost from Cmpd IVa and Cmpd IVb was determined in human cadaver skin.
Results.
As shown in
Experimental Design.
Test material: Dermatomed ex vivo human cadaver posterior trunk skin on 1.0 cm2 Franz diffusion chamber as known in the art. Test size: 3 skin donors (40 year old African American, 60 year old Caucasian, 72 year old Caucasian, obtained from New York Firefighters Skin Bank), 3 replicates per donor per formulation. Test formulations: 0.03% active agent (Cmpd IVa, Cmpd IIIb, Cmpd IVb) in Formulation A; control formulation: bimatoprost at 0.03% in Formulation A. Dosing regimen: receptor fluid at 2, 4, 24, and 48 hrs; SC/epidermis and dermis at 48 hrs. Sample analysis: LC/MS-MS to detect bimatoprost and Cmpds IVa, Mb and IVb.
Results: Skin Penetration.
As shown in
Results: Conversion to Bimatoprost in Receptor Chamber Solution.
Each of Cmpds IVa, Mb and IVb was observed to convert to bimatoprost in the receptor chamber solution, as evidenced in
Results: Skin Distribution and Conversion to Bimatoprost.
As shown in
In summary, as shown in Table 5 following, the percentage of the dose applied for prodrug (i.e., Cmpds IVa, Mb or IVb) and bimatoprost (i.e., either applied or resulting from metabolism of the prodrug), evidences appearance of bimatoprost in the receptor chamber solution and the upper third of the dermis. “N.A.” refers to “not available.”
Conclusions.
Surprisingly, Cmpds IVa, Mb and IVb are more permeable than bimatoprost, with increased bimatoprost concentration in the receptor chamber solution. Cmpds IVa, Mb and IVb are distributed into SC/Epidermis/Upper dermis to the same extent as bimatoprost, but these active agents demonstrate less retention than bimatoprost in the upper third of the dermis.
Rationale.
Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that if bimatoprost and prodrugs thereof were to penetrate the skin through the semi-liquid sebum phase to the hair follicle, then prodrugs having sebum-water partitioning greater than bimatoprost may achieve greater hair growth efficacy than observed with bimatoprost.
Experimental Design.
Compounds bimatoprost, Cmpd IVa, and Cmpd Mb were added to aqueous solution (1 mL, 2-20 ug/mL), with and without 1-20 mg artificial sebum. Samples were shaken for 16 hr at 37° C. Samples were then centrifuged (8000 RPM) for 15 min at room temperature, prior to collection of the aqueous solution. Samples were analyzed for concentration of compound without artificial sebum (i.e., Co) and with artificial sebum (i.e., Ci) by mass spectroscopy. Artificial sebum and water partition coefficient (Ksebum) was expressed as the concentration of drug in 1 g of artificial sebum divided by the concentration of drug in 1 g of aqueous solution, and was calculated as Ksebum=(Co−Ci)Waqueous/(Ci×Wsebum) (Eqn. 1), where W represents weight.
Artificial Sebum.
Artificial sebum was prepared as follows: 15% (w/w) squalene, 15% spermaceti, 10% coconut oil, 1.5% oleic acid, 5% palmitic acid, 2.4% cholesterol oleate, 10% paraffin wax, 10% olive oil, 25% cottonseed oil, 5% palmitoleic acid, 1.2% cholesterol. The melting point of the semi-liquid was 37° C.
Results.
As shown in Table 6 following for n=4 trials, under the experimental conditions, Ksebum is observed to correlate with Log P, calculated by methods well known in the art. Specifically, without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is observed that the more lipophilic a compound, the more partitioning is observed into artificial sebum. Moreover, it is observed that the majority of bimatoprost and Cmpds IVa and Mb remain in the aqueous phase.
Rationale.
In order to determine the penetration, accumulation and/or differential distribution of bimatoprost and compounds disclosed herein upon dermal administration, MALDI-MS (matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectroscopy) imaging was conducted on explanted samples of mouse skin after topical dermal administration.
Experimental Design.
MALDI-MS imaging was conducted on mouse skin strips after administration of bimatoprost or compound disclosed herein once daily for 3 days. Samples of mouse skin were recovered 4 hr after day-3 dosing of compound. Dermal administration was conducted with vehicle, 0.03% bimatoprost, 3% bimatoprost, 0.03% Cmpd IVa, and 3% Cmpd IVa.
Results.
MALDI-MS imaging is able to selectively detect Cmpd IVa and bimatoprost following topical dermal administration of 3.0% Cmpd IVa on mouse skin. Without wishing to be bound by any theory, it is believed that MALDI-MS imaging has sufficient sensitivity to detect bimatoprost and compounds disclosed herein upon topical dermal administration at 3% (w/w) dosage, or even greater sensitivity. Indeed, Cmpd IVa was detectable in the assay system after administration of Cmpd IVa at 0.03%, whereas vehicle control samples displayed no signal for Cmpd IVa.
Moreover, it was observed that the levels of bimatoprost in skin were much higher following topical dermal administration of 3.0% bimatoprost than observed following topical dermal administration of 3.0% Cmpd IVa.
It was further observed that levels of bimatoprost are lower (i.e., on the order 10× lower) following topical dermal administration of Cmpd IVa compared with administration of bimatoprost.
Without further wishing to be bound by any theory, it is observed that skin penetration of bimatoprost after topical dermal administration of 3.0% bimatoprost appears to be similar to the skin penetration of Cmpd IVa after topical dermal administration of 3.0% Cmpd IVa.
