The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising EP2 agonist.
For more detail, it relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist which is long-acting and reduces hypotensive effect. Concretely, it relates to a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a compound represented by formula (I):
wherein all symbols have the same meanings as described below, a salt thereof, a solvate thereof or a cyclodextrin clathrate thereof.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the respiratory diseases and is a disease accompanying airflow obstruction in addition to chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or the complications of both diseases, and characterized by airflow limitation which is not completely reversible. Smoking or the like triggers inflammation of the bronchus or collapse of alveoli. As a result, symptoms such as cough, sputum production or shortness of breath appear, and when the disease progresses, hypoxemia will be developed. As an agent for treating COPD, a bronchodilator (for example, an anticholinergic drug, a β2-stimulator, a xanthine derivative or the like), an expectorant, a steroid or an antibiotic is used. With the use of a bronchodilator or an expectorant, improvement of the symptoms can be expected, however, they are not agents that fundamentally improve the pathological conditions. Additionally, long-term dosing of a steroid is not preferable in terms of side effects or the like. Accordingly, a safe and useful therapeutic agent for COPD has been demanded.
It is known that the compound described in WO03/74483 (Patent Reference 1) has EP2 agonist action and is useful for prevention and/or treatment of pulmonary injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease etc.
However, since EP2 agonist acted on organs besides the respiratory organ, for example circulatory organs, there was fear that it lower the blood pressure of the patient having the normal blood pressure.
[Patent Reference 1] WO2003/74483
An object of the present invention is to provide a safe and effective medicament which has bronchodilating and anti-inflammatory effect to treat respiratory disease.
The inventors of the present invention carried out intensive studies for the purpose of solving the above problems. As a result, they found that by administering an EP2 agonist by inhalation, a bronchodilating effect and an anti-inflammatory effect are locally exhibited and an undesired effect of the EP2 agonist, for example, an effect on circulatory organs such as a hypotensive effect can be avoided or reduced.
Additionally, the inventors of the present invention also found that as an EP2 agonist in which a desired effect in the respiratory organ can be sustained and an effect on circulatory organs can be avoided or reduced, a carboxylic acid prodrug is favorable. The inventors of the present invention particularly found that a prodrug having an ester with a high lipid-soluble long-chain aliphatic alcohol or an amide with a long-chain aliphatic amine remains in an affected area in the respiratory organ and exhibits its effect in a sustained manner for a long period of time. Namely, an inhaled prodrug of the above-mentioned EP2 agonist in an inactive form remains in an affected area, and since the ester with a long-chain aliphatic alcohol or the like is not susceptible to enzymatic digestion, the inactive form of EP2 agonist is gradually changed into an active form of EP2 agonist, and the desired effect is sustained in the desired organ for a long period of time. Furthermore, by inhalation of the prodrug, since the concentration of the EP2 agonist does not increase transiently, an effect on circulatory organs is avoided and a hypotensive effect can be reduced.
Additionally, with regard to an oral pharmaceutical composition, a prodrug is sometimes used for the purpose of increasing the oral absorption of an agent. However, the inventors of the present invention found an amazing effect that the effect is sustained in the respiratory organ and the hypotensive effect is reduced, which is an object completely different from that of the oral pharmaceutical composition, by using a sustained prodrug in a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation.
Therefore, they have found that EP2 agonist, particularly a pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist has bronchodelating and anti-inflammatory effect and it can be a safe and effective medicament, and have completed the present invention.

A pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist topically exhibits a prolonged bronchodilating and antiinflammatory effects and may avoid any systemic effect such as lowering blood pressure. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition for inhalation comprising a sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist is useful as a safe agent for preventing and/or treating respiratory diseases (for example, asthma, pulmonary injury (e.g. acute pulmonary injury, chronic pulmonary injury), pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis (e.g. acute bronchitis, chronic bronchitis etc.), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension or the like).
As the EP2 agonist reported previously, the compound described in EP860430, ONO-8815Ly, the compound described in JP2000-128858, the compound described in WO99/33794, the compound described in EP974580, the compound described in WO95/19964, the compound described in WO98/28264, the compound described in WO99/19300, the compound described in EP0911321, AH-13205, CP-533536, the compound described in WO98/58911, the compound described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,698,598, the compound described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,376,533, the compound described in WO2004/078103, the compound described in WO2005/012232, the compound described in WO2005/061492, the compound described in WO2005/080367, Butaprost or Rioprostil, Misoprostol and AY23626 are included. These compounds, the salts thereof, the solvates thereof or the prodrugs are preferable as a compound used in the present invention.
Moreover, the EP2 agonist includes not only a compound which has EP2 agonist activity, but also a compound which is converted into EP2 agonist by reaction with enzymes etc. within a living body, namely, a prodrug of EP2 agonist.
As the EP2 agonist to be used in the present invention, a compound in which the bronchodilator effect can be sustained and the hypotensive effect can be reduced is preferred. For example, the duration time of the bronchodilator effect is in the range of from 6 hours to 1 week, preferably from 6 to 48 hours, more preferably from 6 to 24 hours after administration. Furthermore, in the present invention, the reduction of hypotensive effect means that in a dose that allows a bronchodilator effect to be exhibited, a significant decrease in blood pressure is not caused and the rate of change in blood pressure is smaller than with that before administration. The significant decrease in blood pressure refers to a decrease in blood pressure by 20 to 10 mmHg from blood pressure before administration. As for a range of reduction of the hypotensive effect in the present invention, the decrease in blood pressure compared with before drug administration is preferably within 10 mmHg, and more preferably within 5 mmHg.
In the present invention, as the EP2 agonist in which the desired effect in the respiratory organs can be sustained and the hypotensive effect can be reduced, particularly a sustained prodrug of the EP2 agonist is preferred. The sustained prodrug of the EP2 agonist as used herein means a prodrug designed such that an inactive form of the EP2 agonist remains in an affected area in the respiratory organ and is gradually changed into an active form of the EP2 agonist by an enzyme in vivo, and the desired effect can be exhibited in the desired organ in a sustained manner for a long period of time. Since the sustained prodrug of the present invention is gradually changed into an active form of the EP2 agonist in the desired organ, the concentration of the active form of EP2 agonist in the blood does not increase transiently and the hypotensive effect is less likely to be caused.
In the present invention, a carboxylic acid prodrug is preferred as a sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist. The carboxylic acid prodrug means EP2 agonist whose the carboxy is esterified or amidated. As the sustained prodrug of EP2 agonist, a ester of a long-chain aliphatic alcohol or a amide of a long-chain aliphatic amine are preferred particularly.
In the specification, the “ester of a long-chain aliphatic alcohol” is a compound whose carboxy group is esterified with an alcohol having 3 to 22 carbon atoms in its main chain.

As the ester of a long-chain aliphatic alcohol, for example, decyl ester, 10-phenyldecyl ester or undecyl ester etc. is preferred. The “long-chain aliphatic alcohol” may be substituted by a substituent(s). The “substituent” has the same meaning as substituent of R2 described below. Preferably, for example, phenyl or hydroxy is included.
In the specification, the “amide of a long-chain aliphatic amine” is a compound whose carboxy group is amidated with an amine substituted by aliphatic hydrocarbon having 3 to 22 carbon atoms in its main chain.

A guinea pig anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (75 mg/kg, i.p.) was treated with gallamine (10 mg/kg, i.v.), and an experiment was carried out under artificial respiration. As an airway contraction inducing substance, histamine (10 μg/kg, i.v.) was used, and the airway contractile response was determined by the Konzett & Roessler method (Konzett, H., Roessler, R. Versuchsanordnung zu untersuchungen ander Bronchial-muskulatur. Arch Exp Pathol Pharmacol 1940; 195:71-74). Additionally, the blood pressure was also measured at the same time. A test substance was administered intravenously or by inhalation (the test substance or a physiological saline solution was atomized using an ultrasonic nebulizer and inhaled directly into the trachea for 5 minutes using an artificial respirator). An inhibition ratio of airway contraction (%) was calculated by taking the airway contraction induced by histamine before administration of the test substance or in a group administered with a physiological saline solution as 0% inhibition. The amount of blood pressure reduction (mmHg) was expressed as the amount of diastolic blood pressure reduction. The results are shown in
(2) Effect of Compound of the Present Invention by Intratracheal Administration on Methacholine-Induced Airway Contractile Response in Guinea Pig
A test substance was intratracheally administered to a guinea pig anesthetized with GOI (laughing gas:oxygen=3:1, 3% isoflurane) using a tube for intratracheal administration. After a certain period of time, the guinea pig was anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) and treated with gallamine (10 mg/kg, i.v.). Then, the resulting airway contractile response was determined under artificial respiration. As an airway contraction inducing substance, methacholine (10 μg/kg, i.v.) was used, and the airway contractile response was determined by the Konzett & Roessler method. A ratio of airway contraction (% of maximum) was calculated by taking the airway response obtained by closing a three-way stopcock attached to an upper part of a cannula inserted into the tracheal tube of the guinea pig as 100%. The results are shown in
(3) Bronchodilator Effect and Hypotensive Effect of a Sustained Prodrug of EP2 Agonist
A guinea pig anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg, i.p.) was treated with gallamine (10 mg/kg, i.v.), and an experiment was carried out under artificial respiration. As an airway contraction inducing substance, methacholine (10 μg/kg, i.v.) was used, and the airway contractile response was determined by the Konzett & Roessler method. Compound B was dissolved in an equimolar amount of sodium hydroxide and diluted with a physiological saline solution. Compound F was suspended in a physiological saline solution containing 2% ethanol and 10% Tween 80 to prepare a test substance. The test substance was intratracheally administered using a tube for intratracheal administration. After the administration of the test substance, the blood pressure and the airway contractile response were measured for 12.5 minutes and 3 hours, respectively. A ratio of airway contraction (%) was calculated by taking the airway response obtained by closing a three-way stopcock attached to an upper part of a cannula inserted into the tracheal tube of the guinea pig as 100% contraction. The amount of blood pressure reduction (mmHg) was expressed based on the blood pressure before administration of the test substance. The results are shown in
The typical formulation example used in the present invention was described below.
The following constituent was mixed to give a solution for inhalation.
compound F (undecyl 2-[(2-{(2R)-2-[(3,5-dichlorophenoxy)methyl]-5-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl}ethyl)sulfanyl]-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylate)(40 mg)
purified water (1000 mL)
After the compound F (5.6 g) and maltose (400 g) was dissolved into purified water, to the mixture was added di-sodium hydrogen phosphate 12-hydrate (20 g) and thereto was added distilled water to fill up to 4000 mL. The solution was freeze-dried by a conventional method and crushed to give a powder for inhalation.
A medicinal composition for inhalation containing a sustained prodrug of an EP2 agonist topically exhibits a prolonged bronchodilating and antiinflammatory effects. Namely, the pharmaceutical composition for inhalation containing a sustained prodrug of an EP2 agonist is useful as a safe preventive and/or treatment agent for respiratory diseases (for example, asthma, pulmonary injury such as acute pulmonary injury and chronic injury, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary emphysema, bronchitis such as acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, adult respiratory distress syndrome, cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension or the like) without causing any systemic effect such as blood pressure reduction.
