Abstract
A method for the prevention and treatment of stunning of the heart subsequent to ischemia-reperfusion is described.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a method for the prevention and treatment of stunned heart phenomenon. Particularly, the invention relates to a method for the prevention and treatment of stunning of the myocardium in association with ischemia-reperfusion. The cardiovascular interventions and conditions accompanied with the ischemia-reperfusion and subsequent stunning include e.g. thrombolysis of myocardial infarction, coronary balloon angioplasty and coronary stent implantation, coronary artery bypass surgery and other open-heart operations, coronary atherectomy, unstable angina, heart transplantation, resuscitation and valvular heart disease. The method for the prevention or treatment of stunned myocardium comprises administering a phosholamban inhibitor as the active compound.
The contraction of cardiac muscle cell is caused by calcium ions released from the intracellular calcium stores of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). After triggering a cascade of events leading to cell shortening and muscle contraction a major part of calcium is reuptaken to the SR by the enzyme called Ca.sup.2+ ATPase and a minor part of calcium is extruded out of the cell. The Ca.sup.2+ ATPase is functioning under the inhibitory control of a small protein called phospholamban. The unphosphorylated form of phospholamban inhibits the Ca.sup.2+ ATPase. The phosphorylation of phospholamban relieves this inhibition which is then seen as a stimulation of the Ca.sup.2+ ATPase. The relief of the phospholamban inhibition on the Ca.sup.2+ ATPase stimulates the uptake of calcium from the cytoplasm into the SR which then finally increases the amount of calcium for the next contraction. In addition to the phosphorylation based regulation the inhibition of the Ca.sup.2+ ATPase by phospholamban can be eliminated also by compounds which directly bind to phospholamban. Such compounds (phospholamban inhibitors) eliminate the inhibitory action of phospholamban on the SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase like the protein kinases as they phosphorylate phospholamban.
One of the pathological phenomena in the function of the heart is called stunned myocardium in which the contraction force is decreased despite the normal coronary flow. The stunning is developed as a consequence of the ischemic period (=marked decrease in the coronary flow) followed by reperfusion of the myocardium. It is typical that in the stunned myocardium the decreased contraction force is not accompanied with the decrease in the amount of calcium released from the SR. On the contrary, there is higher amount of calcium in the SR available for contraction trigger in stunned myocardium (Marban, E., "Myocardial stunning and hibernation. The physiology behind the colloquialisms", Circulation, 83(2):681-688, 1991). Therefore, the stimulation of the calcium uptake into the SR is not expected to change the stunning in the myocardium.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It has now been found that compounds which are effective in relieving the inhibitory effects of phospholamban on cardiac SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase through direct binding to the phospholamban protein (phospholamban inhibitors) are effective in the prevention and treatment of stunned myocardium. Since the pathophysiology of the stunned myocardium is not related to the lack of calcium in the SR, it was unexpected that the elimination of the phospholamban inhibition on the Ca.sup.2+ ATPase abolished the development of post-ischemic stunning of myocardium.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a method for the prevention and treatment of stunned myocardium which comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a phospholamban inhibitor as the active compound to a mammal in need of such treatment or prevention. Particularly, the invention relates to a method for the prevention and treatment of stunning of the myocardium in association with ischemia-reperfusion. Thus the invention provides a method for the prevention and treatment of stunned myocardium in association with cardiovascular interventions and pathological conditions accompanied with the ischemia-reperfusion such as e.g. thrombolysis of myocardial infarction, coronary balloon angioplasty and coronary stent implantation, coronary artery bypass surgery and other open-heart operations, coronary atherectomy, unstable angina, heart transplantation, resuscitation and valvular heart disease.
The term "phospholamban inhibitor" means here a compound which relieves the inhibitory effect of phospholamban on SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase by direct binding to the phospholamban protein.
The inhibitory effect of a given compound on phospholamban can be demonstrated by measuring the effect of the compound on calcium uptake into the SR vesicles prepared from cardiac tissue and into SR vesicles prepared from fast skeletal muscle (psoas m.). Both kind of SR vesicles contain Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase but the vesicles from the fast skeletal muscle do not contain phospholamban (Hoh JFY, "Muscle fiber types and function", Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 4:801-808, 1992). An increase in the calcium uptake into the SR vesicles prepared from cardiac tissue but not into the SR vesicles prepared from fast skeletal muscle indicates that the compound relieves the inhibitory effect of phospholamban on SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase by direct binding to the phospholamban protein and that the compound is applicable as a phospholamban inhibitor in the method of the invention. The direct binding of a compound to the phospholamban protein can be ascertained by the circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The methods for determining whether a compound relieves the inhibitory effect of phospholamban on SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase by direct binding to the phospholamban protein, i.e. is a phospholamban inhibitor, are illustrated in detail in the experimental section.

EXPERIMENTS
Experiment 1
Effect of Phospholamban Inhibitors on Calcium Uptake into the SR Vesicles Prepared From Cardiac and Fast Skeletal Muscle
The inhibitory effect of a given compound on phospholamban can be demonstrated by measuring the effect of the compound on calcium uptake into the SR vesicles prepared from cardiac tissue and into SR vesicles prepared from fast skeletal muscle (psoas m.). Both kind of SR vesicles contain Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase but the vesicles from the fast skeletal muscle do not contain phospholamban (Hoh JFY, "Muscle fiber types and function", Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 4:801-808, 1992). An increase in the calcium uptake into the SR vesicles prepared from cardiac tissue but not into the SR vesicles prepared from fast skeletal muscle indicates that the compound relieves the inhibitory effect of phospholamban on SR Ca.sup.2+ -ATPase and thus acts as a phospholamban inhibitor.
Preparation of the SR-vesicles
Guinea pigs (10-12) were decapited. Their hearts or the psoas muscles were excised, washed in ice-cold 0.9% NaCl and cut into pieces in a buffer containing 20 mM Tris-maleate, 0.3 M sucrose, pH 7.0. Thereafter tissue pieces were homogenized with Polytron and further with Potter (10 strokes). The homogenate was centrifugated at 1000 g for 15 min at 4.degree. C. The supernatant was collected and the pellet was resuspended into 5 ml of the buffer (20 mM Tris-maleate, 0.3 M sucrose, pH 7.0) and recentrifugated at 1000 g for 10 min at 4.degree. C. The obtained supernatant was combined with the earlier collected supernatant and centrifugated once again at 10 000 g for 20 min at 4.degree. C. The final supernatant was filtered into a bottle equipped with a magnetic stirrer. KCl was added to the filtered supernatant to achieve the final concentration of 0.6 M (at 4.degree. C.). The obtained solution was centrifugated at 100 000 g for 60 min at 4.degree. C. The pellet was suspended in 5 ml of the buffer containing 20 mM Tris-maleate, 0.3 M sucrose, pH 7.0 and centrifugated at 100 000 g for 60 min at 4.degree. C. The obtained pellet was suspended in 5 ml of buffer containing 20 mM Tris-maleate, 0.3 M sucrose, 0.1 M KCl, pH 7.0 and stored at -80.degree. C. until use. The protein concentration was also measured in order to standardise the separately prepared vesicle preparations.
Calcium Uptake Assay
In the calcium uptake assay, the fluorescent indicator, fluo-3 was used to detect the decrease of the extravesicular Ca.sup.2+ -concentration, when the SR Ca.sup.2+ ATPase was transferring Ca.sup.2+ from the extravesicular space into the SR-vesicles.
The SR-vesicles obtained above (50 .mu.g protein/ml) were pre-incubated with or without the test compound at 37.degree. C. for 5 min in the assay buffer containing 40 mM imidazole, 95 mM KCl, 5 mM NaN.sub.3, 5 mM MgCl.sub.2, 0.5 mM EGTA, 5 mM potassium oxalate, 2 .mu.M ruthenium red, 5 .mu.M fluo-3, pH 7.0. The free calcium was adjusted to 0.1 .mu.M or to 0.04 .mu.M by CaCl.sub.2. The reaction was initiated by adding ATP (5 mM). The final reaction volume was 1.5 ml. The fluorescence of reaction mixture was measured for 3 min by using the excitation and emission wavelengths of 510 nm and 530 nm, respectively.
Results
FIG. 1 shows the effect of a phospholamban inhibitor of Example 8g (0.1, 1.0 and 10 .mu.M) on the Ca.sup.2+ uptake rate into the cardiac muscle SR vesicles. It can be seen that compound of Example 8g accelerated the calcium uptake into the cardiac SR vesicles. In contrast, compound of Example 8g did not change the calcium uptake into the SR vesicle prepared from the fast skeletal muscle at 0.1-10 .mu.M concentrations.
Table 1 shows the effects of various other phospholamban inhibitors of formula (I) or (II) on the Ca.sup.2+ uptake rate into the cardiac (A) and fast skeletal muscle (B) SR vesicles. The experiments were carried out at 0.1 .mu.M and 0.04 .mu.M free calcium concentrations, respectively.

Experiment 2
Binding of a Phospholamban Inhibitor of Example 1c to the Cytosolic Part of Phospholamban Demonstrated by the Circular Dichroism (CD) Spectroscopy
Both the 36 amino acid N-terminal fragment of human phospholamban (PLB [1-36 a.a.]) and the 36 amino acid N-terminal fragment of double phosphorylated human phospholamban (PLB [1-36 a.a.](Ser16PO.sub.3 -, Thr17PO.sub.3 -)) were obtained by peptide synthesis. The peptides were purified by reverse phase HPLC, analysed for homogenity by mass spectrometry and were found pure at 97%. The peptides were lyophilized and then resuspended in water at the final concentration of 0.1 mM, for CD analysis. The pH of both solutions was between 3 and 4 and was not further adjusted. Compound of Example 1c was solved in water at a final concentration of 0.1 mM. The pH was adjusted at 7.2 by adding 1 N NaOH.
Circular dichroism spectra were acquired at 24.degree. C. on samples of 100 .mu.l. The spectra were recorded on a Jasco J-720 spectropolarimeter using a 1 mm path-length quartz cuvette. The band width was 1 nm, the sensitivity 20 mdeg, the step resolution 0.5 nm, the response time 0.5 sec, and the scan speed 20 nm/min (from 250 to 190 nm). The spectra were expressed in [.theta.].times.10.sup.-3 .times.degrees.times.cm.sup.2 .times.dmol.sup.-1.
The CD spectra of PLB[1-36 a.a] and of the mixtures PLB[1-36 a.a]+compound of Example 1c show that a dramatic change in the average structure of the peptide takes place after addition of compound of Example 1c. A marked increase of .alpha.-helical contribution can be seen (FIG. 2). Such a behaviour was shown for many Calmodulin-binding peptides, which form helices in the bound state. CD studies showed that when such peptides bind Calmodulin, there is an increase in helicity of the complex over the sum of the two individual non interacting components (for a review, see: O'Neil, K. T. and DeGrado, W. F. "How calmodulin binds its targets: sequence independent recognition of amphiphilic .alpha.-helices", TIBS 15:59-64, 1990). Moreover, it was previously demonstrated by NMR that the N-terminal fragment of PLB [aa.1-25] interacts directly with Calmodulin (Gao, Y. et al. "Interaction of calmodulin with phospholamban and caldesmon: comparative studies by .sup.1 H-NMR spectroscopy", Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1160: 22-34, 1992). The present experiment thus verifies that compound of Example 1c forms a complex with PLB at his N-terminal domain.
Compound of Example 1c, added to PLB[1-36 a.a.](Ser16PO.sub.3 -, Thr17PO.sub.3 -), is not influencing the structure of the phosphorylated peptide as much as for the phosphorylated. The CD measurements show that compound of Example 1c interacts with the cytosolic part of phospholamban PLB[1-36 a.a.], and does not interact or interacts weakly with the phosphorylated phospholamban (PLB[1-36 a.a.](Ser16PO.sub.3 -, Thr17PO.sub.3 -)). Thus, the interaction is specific for the unphosphorylated phospholamban.
Experiment 3
Effect on the Development of Stunned Myocardium in Isolated Guinea-pig Langendorff Heart
Method
Guinea-pigs of either sex weighing 300-400 g were used in the study. After the guinea-pig was sacrificed by a blow on the skull and decapitated the heart was rapidly excised. The heart was then rinsed in oxygenated perfusion buffer. A cannula was inserted into the aorta and secured with a ligature. Retrograde perfusion began as soon as the heart was placed in a thermostatically controlled moist chamber of the Langendorff apparatus. Modified Tyrode solution (37.degree. C.), equilibrated in a thermostatically controlled bulb oxygenator with carbogen (95% O.sub.2 and 5% CO.sub.2) was used as a perfusion buffer. The composition of the Tyrode solution was (in mM): NaCl 135; MgCl.sub.2 .times.6H.sub.2 O 1; KCl 5; CaCl.sub.2 .times.2H.sub.2 O 2; NaHCO.sub.3 15; Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 .times.2H.sub.2 O 1; glucose 10; pH 7.3-7.4. The experiments were carried out under constant pressure condition (50 mmHg). After a short prestabilization (10 min) a latex balloon attached through the stainless-steel cannula to a pressure transducer was carefully placed into the left ventricle through the left pulmonary vein and the left atrium. The latex balloon, the cannula and the chamber of the pressure transducer were filled with ethylene glycol/water (1:1) mixture avoiding any air-bubble. The isovolumetric left ventricular pressure was recorded through the pressure transducer. At the beginning of the experiment, the volume of the balloon was adjusted to obtain the end-diastolic pressure of approximately 5 mmHg. Before starting the experiment, the spontaneously beating heart was allowed to stabilise further for 30-50 min with vehicle (0.1% DMSO) in the perfusion buffer.
After 15 min baseline recordings compound of Example 8g (10 .mu.M) was added to the perfusion buffer. The heart was 15 min later exposed to the 8 minute period of global ischemia followed by reperfusion. This procedure was then repeated twice at 35 min intervals. Another series of experiments was performed with vehicle instead of compound of Example 8g. The vehicle concentration (0.1% DMSO) was kept constant throughout the experiments. The baseline value was the average of the two minute recordings obtained just before compound of Example 8g or vehicle was added to the perfusion buffer. The preischemia values were the average of the two minute recordings obtained just before each ischemia period and the reperfusion values were the average of the two minute recordings obtained at 8 min during each reperfusion period.
The results are shown in FIGS. 3A and B. FIG. 3A shows the development of stunned myocardium and the subsequent decrease in the left ventricular systolic pressure in the control group. FIG. 3B shows that the phospholamban inhibitor of Example 8g completely inhibited the development of stunned myocardium. Givens are mean .+-.SEM of 2-3 experiments.
The following non-limiting examples illustrates the preparation of phospholamban inhibitors.
