Vasopressin receptor antagonists are reported to treat hyponatremia, i.e., a decrease in serum sodium concentrations. Hyponatremia is sometimes associated with renal disease. The vasopressin V2-receptor antagonist, tolvaptan is indicated to slow the progression of cyst development and renal insufficiency in adults at risk of progressing autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). One side effect of tolvaptan therapy is the production of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine, polyuria. Thus, there is a need to identify methods of managing polyuria during tolvaptan therapy.
References cited herein are not an admission of prior art.
This disclosure relates to methods of managing polyuria as a side effect of vasopressin receptor antagonist therapies. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods of treating or preventing polyuria as a side effect of a vasopressin receptor antagonist therapy comprising administering a vasopressin receptor antagonist to a human subject in combination with an effective amount of an activator of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK). In certain embodiments, the subject is diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). In certain embodiments, the subject is diagnosed with polyuria.
In certain embodiments, the vasopressin receptor antagonist is selected from N-(4-(7-chloro-5-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[b]azepine-1-carbonyl)-3-methylphenyl)-2-methylbenzamide (tolvaptan), conivaptan, lixivaptan, and satavaptan, prodrug, derivative, or salt thereof.

Unless the context requires otherwise, throughout the specification and claims which follow, the word “comprise” and variations thereof, such as, “comprises,” “comprising” “including,” “containing,” or “characterized by,” are to be construed in an open, inclusive sense, that is, as “including, but not limited to” and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps. By contrast, the transitional phrase “consisting of” excludes any element, step, or ingredient not specified in the claim. The transitional phrase “consisting essentially of” limits the scope of a claim to the specified materials or steps “and those that do not materially affect the basic and novel characteristic(s)” of the claimed invention. In embodiments or claims where the term comprising is used as the transition phrase, such embodiments can also be envisioned with replacement of the term “comprising” with the terms “consisting of” or “consisting essentially of.”
It must be noted that, as used in the specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. In this specification and in the claims that follow, reference will be made to a number of terms that shall be defined to have the following meanings unless a contrary intention is apparent.
The terms “administer,” “administering” or “administration” as used herein refer to either directly administering a compound (also referred to as an agent of interest) or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound (agent of interest) or a composition to a subject.
As used herein, the terms “prevent” and “preventing” include the prevention of the recurrence, spread or onset. It is not intended that the present disclosure be limited to complete prevention. In some embodiments, the onset is delayed, or the severity of the disease is reduced.
As used herein, the terms “treat” and “treating” are not limited to the case where the subject (e.g., patient) is cured and the disease is eradicated. Rather, embodiments, of the present disclosure also contemplate treatment that merely reduces symptoms, and/or delays disease progression.
As used herein, the term “combination with” when used to describe administration with an additional treatment means that the agent may be administered prior to, together with, or after the additional treatment, or a combination thereof.
As used herein, the term “derivative” refers to a structurally similar compound that retains sufficient functional attributes of the identified analogue. The derivative may be structurally similar because it is lacking one or more atoms, substituted, a salt, in different hydration/oxidation states, or because one or more atoms within the molecule are switched, such as, but not limited to, adding a hydroxyl group, replacing an oxygen atom with a sulfur atom, or replacing an amino group with a hydroxyl group, oxidizing a hydroxyl group to a carbonyl group, reducing a carbonyl group to a hydroxyl group, and reducing a carbon-to-carbon double bond to an alkyl group or oxidizing a carbon-to-carbon single bond to a double bond. A derivative optional has one or more substitutions. Derivatives may be prepared by any variety of synthetic methods or appropriate adaptations presented in synthetic or organic chemistry textbooks, such as those provide in March's Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, Wiley, 6th Edition (2007) Michael B. Smith or Domino Reactions in Organic Synthesis, Wiley (2006) Lutz F. Tietze hereby incorporated by reference.
As used herein, the term “prodrug” refers a compound that, after administration, is metabolized (i.e., converted within the body) into a pharmacologically active drug. Examples include amides and alkyl esters of carboxylic acids such as ethyl esters, isopropyl esters, n-butyl esters, aryl esters, (acyloxy)alkyl esters, [(alkoxycarbonyl)oxy]methyl esters, (oxodioxolyl)methyl esters or amino acid esters, or alkoxy esters of hydroxyl groups such as, acetate esters, benzoate esters, alkyl ethers, amino acids esters, glycolic acid esters, malic acid esters, acyloxyalkyl esters, alkoxycarbonyloxy alkyl esters, S-acylthioalkyl esters, hydroxylamine amides, phosphonylmethoxy ethers, phosphates, phosphoramidates, and combinations thereof.
The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” is employed herein to refer to those agents of interest/compounds, salts, compositions, dosage forms, etc, which are within the scope of sound medical judgment suitable for use in contact with the tissues of human beings and/or other mammals without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. In some respects, pharmaceutically acceptable means approved by a regulatory agency of the federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in mammals (e.g., animals), and more particularly, in humans.
The term “patient” and “subject” are interchangeable and may be taken to mean any living organism which may be treated with compounds of the present invention. As such, the terms “patient” and “subject” may include, but is not limited to, any non-human mammal, primate or human. In some embodiments, the “patient” or “subject” is a mammal, such as mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, swine, cattle, sheep, horses, primates, or humans. In some embodiments, the patient or subject is an adult, child or infant. In some embodiments, the patient or subject is a human.
The composition may be administered to patients in an amount effective, especially to enhance pharmacological response in an animal or human organism. As used herein, the term “effective amount” refers to an amount sufficient to realize a desired biological effect. The appropriate dosage may vary depending upon known factors such as the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the particular active agent, age, health, and weight of the host organism; the condition(s) to be treated, nature and extent of symptoms, kind of concurrent treatment, frequency of treatment, the need for prevention or therapy and/or the effect desired. The dosage will also be calculated dependent upon the particular route of administration selected. Further refinement of the calculations necessary to determine the appropriate dosage for treatment is routinely made by a practitioner, in the light of the relevant circumstances. The titer may be determined by conventional techniques.
Vasopressin receptor antagonists are agents that specifically bind to vasopressin receptors (V1A, V1B and V2) and block the action of vasopressin (antidiuretic hormone, ADH), which is a hormone released by the pituitary gland. Examples include tolvaptan, conivaptan, lixivaptan, and satavaptan.

As used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to those salts which are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with the tissues of subjects without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic response and the like, and are commensurate with a reasonable benefit/risk ratio. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the art. For example, Berge et al. describes pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66:1-19. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compounds provided herein include those derived from suitable inorganic and organic acids and bases. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic acid addition salts are salts of an amino group formed with inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid or with organic acids such as acetic acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic acid or malonic acid or by using other methods used in the art such as ion exchange.

Treatment with tolvaptan, which inhibits the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R), slows the progression of renal cyst development in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). An unfortunate side effect of tolvaptan treatment is development of the need to urinate excessively, i.e., overt polyuria, greater than 2.5 L or 3 L over 24 hours in adults. This can result in non-compliance by some patients, thereby reducing the beneficial effect of tolvaptan treatment.
Tolvaptan is thought to improve ADPKD by decreasing cAMP production. Inhibiting the V2R results in polyuria and a form of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. AMPK activation reduces polyuria in rats and mice with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Thus, experiments were developed to determine whether treatment with an AMPK activator could improve the polyuria in V2R inhibitor treated ADPKD patients without diminishing the beneficial effects.
Experiments are performed to determine whether AMPK activators can reduce polyuria in tolvaptan-treated mice with ADPKD without reducing the beneficial effect of tolvaptan on slowing cystogenesis. If the beneficial effect of tolvaptan is maintained but polyuria is reduced, this would improve quality of life for ADPKD patients and improve compliance with tolvaptan therapy.
Data using NP-5033 shows improvement in urine concentrating ability in tolvaptan treated rats (see
One provides the AMPK activator agent to genetically modified mice (Pkd1R3277C/R3277C hereinafter “ADPKD mice”) by gavage feeding, lx daily at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. See Hoppe et al., J Am Soc Nephrol, 2015, 26(1):39-47. One solubilizes the agent in 40% (v/v) labrasol, 40% (v/v) labrafil and 20% transcutol (v/v) (4/4/2). One adds the agent to the lipid solution at 60° C. for 5-10 minutes to facilitate solubilization and thereafter cools to room temperature before feeding.
One uses two arms of mice in the study: 1) one administers the agent to tolvaptan ADPKD mice; and 2) control ADPKD mice receiving lipid solution without tolvaptan. One provides tolvaptan in formulated rodent chow that contains 0.1% tolvaptan ad libitum. One provides the AMPK activator daily oral gavage at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day. The volume containing the drug varies according to the animal weight at approximately 200 microliters. These mice develop cysts at 3-6 months.
On day 1, mice are age and weight matched and sorted into groups. Spot urines are taken for basal urine osmolality. The regular mouse chow will be replaced with tolvaptan laced chow for all 20 mice in this arm of the study.
On day 2, gavage feeding of AMPK activator begins with the 10 mice in the treatment group (designated TAA group). Control mice (receiving tolvaptan) receive the vehicle by oral gavage (designated TV group). This will continue daily until the animals are euthanized at the end of the experiment.
On day 4, 5 mice in the TV group and 5 mice from the TAA group are placed metabolic cages, urine is collected overnight. Mice will then be returned to their static cages.
On day 11, the remaining 5 mice in the TV and TAA groups are placed in metabolic cages and urine is collected overnight and volume noted. Mice are returned to their static cages.
This is repeated on alternating weeks through week 12.
Urine is analyzed for osmolality, Na, K, Cl content, and urinalysis by dip stick for protein, glucose, and blood. Renal ultrasound is performed on the anesthetized mice at weeks 3, 6 and 9.
At week 12 mice are euthanized by cervical dislocation and exsanguination. Blood will be collected by heart puncture. Kidneys are removed: 1 kidney are placed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight in preparation for paraffin embedding for histology; the second kidney are freeze clamped, frozen in liquid N2 and kept at −80° C. for future analysis. After the first group of 20 mice are euthanized, the next arm of the study is begun. Group 3, designated as CAA, are 10 ADPKD mice that do not receive tolvaptan treatment but are given daily gavage feeding of the AMPK activator. Group 4, designated as CV, will have 10 ADPKD that do not receive tolvaptan, but are given daily gavage feeding of the vehicle. These 2 groups are managed with the same treatments and timing as Groups 1 and 2, except for the regular chow. They are euthanized at week 12 or whichever week matches the endpoint for the first arm of the experimental protocol.
