The present invention relates to a metal complex compound, a therapeutic agent composition for a cancer containing it as an active ingredient, and an intermediate for the metal complex compound. The present invention particularly relates to a novel metal complex compound active for therapy of a cancer metastasized to bone and therapy of the primary carcinoma thereof, a therapeutic agent composition for a cancer containing the metal complex compound or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof as an active ingredient, and an intermediate for the metal complex compound.
Platinum complexes are known to exhibit various actions on cancer cells. For example, cisplatin is known to suppress the growth of cancer cells by binding to the double helix of DNA (Non-patent Documents 1 and 2). Further, it has been reported that therapy with such a platinum complex may cause inhibition of DNA synthesis (Non-patent Documents 3 and 4). Thus, it has been reported that a platinum complex is effective for inhibition of DNA synthesis of cancer cells growing continuously (Non-patent Documents 5 and 6).
Further, a platinum complex has an action by which the cell cycle is arrested at the G2 phase to cause apoptosis of cells, leading to their death. This apoptosis effect is observed at a lower concentration of a platinum complex than that at which the DNA synthesis-inhibition action is exerted (Non-patent Document 7), suggesting that a platinum complex acts on tumor cells by various mechanisms. Further, some types of cells exhibit a high sensitivity to a platinum complex even at the G1 phase (Non-patent Documents 8 and 9), keeping the cell cycle arrested. It is known that these actions are observed in tumors and organs in which a platinum complex is distributed at a high concentration, and that the concentration of a platinum complex distributed in bone is especially high and the duration of the actions is longer in bone.
On the other hand, bisphosphonates have been used for diseases related to bone resorption such as osteoporosis, Paget's Disease and hypercalcemia induced by a malignant tumor (Non-patent Document 10). Further, recently, they have been used for alleviation and therapy of symptoms caused by bone metastasis of breast cancer, prostate cancer, lung cancer and multiple myeloma (Non-patent Documents 11 and 12).
Further, bisphosphonates biologically act, solely or in a various state such as a conjugate, on hydroxyapatite which constitutes bone (Patent Document 1), and, for example, a synthetic compound sharing a bisphosphonate and cisplatin in its structure has been disclosed (Patent Document 2).
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
However, since the degree of adsorption to bone and/or the cell growth-inhibitory property of conventional metal complex compounds is/are not sufficient, a higher effect has been recently demanded in terms of therapy of a cancer metastasized to bone and therapy of the primary carcinoma thereof. Manufacture of a metal complex compound medically useful as an oral preparation has not been approved yet, and there has been no report so far on the usefulness of the compound as an oral preparation.
Thus, the present invention aims to provide a metal complex compound which exhibits a high degree of adsorption to bone or inhibition of cell growth, and is highly effective for therapy of a cancer metastasized to bone and therapy of the primary carcinoma thereof; a therapeutic agent composition for a cancer containing as an active ingredient the metal complex compound or a physiologically acceptable salt thereof; and an intermediate for the metal complex compound.

The adsorption action of the platinum complex of the Compound 3 to hydroxyapatite was investigated.
To 2 mL of HEPES buffer, 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 mg of hydroxyapatite (Bio-Rad, Hydroxyapatite, typel, 40 μm) was added, and the resulting mixture was shaken for 24 hours at 37° C. Thereafter, 100 μL of the platinum complex of the Compound 3 was added to each HEPES buffer, and the resulting mixture was shaken for 1.5 hours at 37° C. The solution was filtered, and phosphorus (P) was measured by 31P-NMR (Varian VXR-300S) and platinum was measured by an atomic absorption photometer (Hitachi Z-5710 AAS).
The absorption to hydroxyapatite, which was calculated from the results of measurement by 31P-NMR and atomic absorption photometry, increased dependently on the amount of hydroxyapatite and was 20%, 40%, 55%, 70% and 75%, respectively. From these results, it was shown that the platinum complex of the Compound 3 adsorbs to hydroxyapatite.
The activity of the platinum complex of the Compound 3 to suppress the bone resorptive activity by osteoclasts was investigated.
From long bone of a Japanese white rabbit of 7 days old, unfractionated total bone cells were prepared, and the cells were dispersed on collagen gel, followed by treatment with various enzyme treatments to prepare a cell suspension containing only osteoclasts. The isolated osteoclasts were dispersed on ivory pieces, and the platinum complex of the Compound 3 was added thereto at final concentrations of 1, 10, 100 nM and 1 μM. The calculation was carried out based on the area of resorption lacunae formed after 24 hours of culture. As a result, the platinum complex of the Compound 3 suppressed the area of the formed resorption lacunae at the ratios of 3%, 20%, 35% and 65% dependently on its concentration.
Using nude mice transplanted with human tumors SC-6-JCK and Lu-24, the anti-tumor action of the substance having the structure below (Compound 44), among the compounds of the present invention, was investigated. Each of SC-6-JCK and Lu-24 was subcutaneously implanted in nude mice, and, when the tumor volumes reached to 100 to 300 mm3, 7.0 mg and 10.0 mg/kg of the present test substance were respectively administered to the SC-6-JCK tumor-bearing mice, and 10.0 mg and 12.0 mg/kg of the present test substance were respectively administered to the Lu-24 tumor-bearing mice, from the tail vein 3 times intermittently at 4 days' intervals. As a result, the action of suppression of the tumor volume was observed in a dose-dependent manner. Further, BUN (blood urea nitrogen) was measured 4 days after completion of the administration as an index of nephrotoxicity, but an increase of the BUN value was not observed, so that nephrotoxicity was not observed.
Using cultured human cancer cells, the activity of the substance having the structure below (Compound 45), among the compounds of the present invention, to suppress the growth of human cancer cells was investigated. Cancer cells were dispersed on a 96-well plate, and, 24 hours later, the test drug was added thereto at a concentration within the range of 1.0×10−4 to 1.0×10−8 M, followed by 48 hours of culture and measurement of the cell growth by colorimetry using sulfo rhodamine B.
The observed IC50 was within the range of 1.5×10−6 to 1.0×10−4 M in cancer cells of each of lung cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumor, breast cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer and melanoma.
Using cultured human cancer cells, the activity of the substance having the structure below (Compound 46), among the compounds of the present invention, to suppress the growth of human cancer cells was investigated.
The observed IC50 value was within the range of 5.4×10−6 to 1.0×10−4 M in cancer cells of each of lung cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumor, breast cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer and melanoma.
Using cultured human cancer cells, the activity of the substance having the structure below (Compound 47), among the compounds of the present invention, to suppress the growth of human cancer cells was investigated.
The observed IC50 value was within the range of 1.5×10−5 to 1.0×10−4 M in cancer cells of each of lung cancer, gastric cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, brain tumor, breast cancer, renal cancer, prostate cancer and melanoma.
The pharmaceutical of the present invention exhibited a high degree of adsorption to bone and is an agent for therapy of cancers, which agent is capable of exerting strong effects against primary carcinomas and cancers metastasized to bone.
