Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a guanidine compound which is useful as an active ingredient of a pharmaceutical composition, in particular, a pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating vascular adhesion protein-1 (hereinafter abbreviated as VAP-1)-related diseases.

BACKGROUND ART

VAP-1 is an amine oxidase (semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase, SSAO) which is abundant in human plasma (Non-Patent Document 1), and shows remarkably increased expression in vascular endothelium and vascular smooth muscle of inflammatory regions. While the physiological role of VAP-1 has not been clarified until recently, VAP-1 gene was cloned in 1998, and VAP-1 has been reported to be a membrane protein that regulates rolling and migration of lymphocytes and NK cells as an adhesion molecule under regulation of expression by inflammatory cytokines. Although the amine acting as a substrate is unknown, it is considered to be methylamine generated in any part of a living body. It is also known that hydrogen peroxide and aldehydes produced due to the amine oxidase activity in the molecule are important factors of adhesion activity.

A recent report has demonstrated that the VAP-1 enzyme activity in plasma increases in patients with diabetes mellitus, whether type I or type II, and the increase is particularly remarkable in patients with diabetes mellitus suffering from retinopathy complications (Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3).

In addition, it has been reported that VAP-1 is related to the following diseases:

(1) cirrhosis, essential stabilized hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and arthrosis (Patent Documents 1 and 2);

(2) endothelium damage (in diabetes mellitus, arterosclerosis, and hypertension), cardiovascular diseases related to diabetes mellitus and uremia, pain related to gout and arthritis, and retinopathy (in diabetes mellitus patients) (Patent Document 3);

(3) inflammatory diseases or conditions (of connective tissue) (rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease, Reiter's syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, Behcet's syndrome, relapsing polychondritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, eosinophilic fasciitis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, polymyalgia rheumatica, vasculitis, temporal arteritis, polyarteritis nodosa, Wegener's granulomatosis, mixed connective tissue disease, and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis); gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases or conditions [Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome (spastic colon), fibrotic conditions of the liver, inflammation of the oral mucosa (stomatitis), and recurrent aphtous stomatitis]; central nervous system inflammatory diseases or conditions (multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and ischemia-reperfusion injury related to ischemic stroke); pulmonary inflammatory diseases or conditions (asthma, adult respiratory distress syndrome, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease); (chronic) skin inflammatory diseases or conditions (psoriasis, allergic lesions, lichen planus, pityriasis rosea, contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and pityriasis rubra pilaris); diseases related to carbohydrate metabolism (diabetes mellitus and complications from diabetes mellitus) including microvascular and macrovascular diseases (arterosclerosis, vascular retinopathies, retinopathy, nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome and neuropathy (polyneuropathy, mononeuropathies and autonomic neuropathy), foot ulcers, joint problems, and increased risk of infection); diseases related to aberrations in adipocyte differentiation or function or smooth muscle cell function (arterosclerosis and obesity); vascular diseases [atheromatous arterosclerosis, nonatheromatous arterosclerosis, ischemic heart disease including myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial occlusion, Raynaud's disease and phenomenon, and thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's disease)]; chronic arthritis; inflammatory bowel diseases; and skin dermatoses (Patent Documents 4, 5, and 6, and Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5);

(4) diabetes mellitus (Patent Document 7);

(5) SSAO-mediated complications [diabetes mellitus (insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)) and vascular complications (heart attack, angina, strokes, amputations, blindness, and renal insufficiency)], and macular edema (for example, diabetic and non-diabetic macular edema) (Patent Documents 8 and 9); and

(6) hepatitis, transplantation, and the like.

Seven- to eight-week SD rats (having weights up to 200 to 250 g during fasting) were used and fasted for 20 hours, and then intraperitoneally administered with 60 mg/ml/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) prepared with a 2 mmol/1 citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). At the same time, the control rats were injected with the same amount of a 2 mmol/1 citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). The blood glucose value was measured using a colorimetric method, and the rats that had showed a value of 350 mg/dl blood glucose levels on day 3 after the treatment with STZ were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

The test substance was given daily for 4 weeks after the treatment with STZ. After 4 weeks of the treatment with the test substance, 24-hour urine collection was performed using metabolic cages.

The amounts of urinary albunmin excretion after 4 weeks were 67 (mg/gCr) and 236 (mg/gCr) with the control group and the STZ-treated group, respectively, and the amount of urinary albunmin excretion of the STZ-treated group increased 3.5 times than that of the control group. On the other hand, as a result of the oral administration of the compound of Example 11 in the amount of 0.3 mg/kg once daily, an amount of urinary albunmin excretion was 103 (mg/gCr), which was decreased to 1.5 times than that of the control group.

Furthermore, in the test with the compound of Example 557, the amount of urinary albunmin excretion after 4 weeks were 45 (mg/gCr) and 234 (mg/gCr) with the control group and the STZ-treated group, respectively, and the amount of urinary albunmin excretion of the STZ-treated group was increased to 5.2 times than that of the control group. On the other hand, as a result of the oral administration of the compound of Example 557 in the amount of 0.3 mg/kg once daily, amount of urinary albunmin excretion was 105 (mg/gCr), which was decreased to 2.3 times than that of the control group.

TEST EXAMPLE 5

Effect on Eye Permeability in Rats with Diabetes Mellitus

Seven-week Long-Evans rats (having weights up to 200 to 250 g during fasting) were used and fasted for 20 hours, and then intraperitoneally administered with 60 mg/ml/kg of streptozotocin (STZ) prepared with a 2 mmol/1 citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). At the same time, the control rats were injected with the same amount of a 2 mmol/1 citric acid buffer (pH 4.5). The blood glucose value was measured using a colorimetric method, and the rats that had showed a value of 350 mg/dl blood glucose levels on day 3 after the treatment with STZ were diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.

The test substance was given daily for 2 weeks after the treatment with STZ. After 2 weeks of the treatment with the test substance, the retinal vascular permeability was examined after 24 hours from the date of the final administration. The retinal permeability was examined on the basis of the dye leakage into the retina after 2 h from the tail vein administration of 40 mg/ml/kg of Evans Blue Dye solution. The permeability as an index of the evaluation was expressed in the ratio of the retinal concentration/plasma concentration of the Evans Blue Dye. Measurement of the Evans Blue Dye concentration was carried out by measuring the absorbance using a plate reader.

If necessary, tablets or pills may be coated with sugar or a film of a gastric or enteric coating substance.

The liquid composition for oral administration contains pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, elixirs, or the like, and also contains generally used inert diluents, for example, purified water or ethanol. In addition to the inert diluent, the liquid composition may also contain auxiliary agents, such as a solubilization assisting agent, a moistening agent, and a suspending agent, sweeteners, flavors, aromatics, or antiseptics.

The injections for parenteral administration include sterile aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions and emulsions. The aqueous solvent includes, for example, distilled water for injection and physiological saline. Examples of the non-aqueous solvent include alcohols such as ethanol. Such a composition may further contain a tonicity agent, an antiseptic, a moistening agent, an emulsifying agent, a dispersing agent, a stabilizer, or a solubilizing aid. These are sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacteria retaining filter, by blending a bactericide, or irradiation. In addition, these can also be used by preparing a sterile solid composition, and dissolving or suspending it in sterile water or a sterile solvent for injection prior to its use.

The agent for external use includes ointments, plasters, creams, jellies, poultices, sprays, lotions, eye drops, eye ointments, and the like. The agents contain generally used ointment bases, lotion bases, aqueous or non-aqueous liquid preparations, suspensions, emulsions, and the like.

As the transmucosal agents such as an inhaler, a transnasal agent, and the like, those in the form of a solid, liquid, or semi-solid state are used, and can be prepared in accordance with a conventionally known method. For example, a known excipient, and also a pH adjusting agent, an antiseptic, a surfactant, a lubricant, a stabilizer, a thickening agent, or the like may be appropriately added thereto. For their administration, an appropriate device for inhalation or blowing can be used. For example, a compound may be administered alone or as a powder of formulated mixture, or as a solution or suspension in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, using a known device or sprayer, such as a measured administration inhalation device, and the like. A dry powder inhaler or the like may be for single or multiple administration use, and a dry powder or a powder-containing capsule may be used. Alternatively, this may be in a form such as a pressurized aerosol spray which uses an appropriate ejection agent, for example, a suitable gas such as chlorofluoroalkane, carbon dioxide, and the like.

In oral administration, the daily dose is generally from about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg, preferably from 0.1 to 30 mg/kg, and more preferably 0.1 to 10 mg/kg, per body weight, administered in one portion or in 2 to 4 separate portions. In the case of intravenous administration, the daily dose is suitably administered from about 0.0001 to 10 mg/kg per body weight, once a day or two or more times a day. In addition, a transmucosal agent is administered at a dose from about 0.001 to 100 mg/kg per body weight, once a day or two or more times a day. The dose is appropriately decided upon in response to the individual case by taking the symptoms, the age, and the gender, and the like into consideration.
