Full Text NOVEL METHOD OF TREATMENT
This invention relates to a method of treatment, in particular to a method for the treatment of diabetes mellitus, especially non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM) (or Type 2 diabetes) and conditions associated with diabetes mellitus.
Insulin secretagogues are compounds which promote increased secretion of insulin by the pancreatic beta cells.
The sulphonylureas are well known examples of insulin secretagogues. The sulphonylureas act as antihyperglycaemic agents and are used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes). Examples of sulphonylureas include glibenclamide, glipizide, gliclazide, glimepiride, tolazamide and tolbutamide.
Biguanide antihyperglycaemic agents are commonly used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes). 1,1 - Dimethylbiguanidine (or Metformin) is an example of a biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent.
European Patent Application, Publication Number 0,306,228 relates to certain thiazolidinedione derivatives disclosed as having antihyperglycaemic and antihyperlipidaemic activity. One particular thiazolidinedione disclosed in EP 0306228 is 5-[4-[2-(N-methyl-N-(2-pyridyl)amino)ethoxy]benzyl]thiazolidine-2,4-dione (hereinafter 'Compound (I)'). WO94/05659 discloses certain salts of Compound (I) including the maleate salt.
Compound (I) is an example of a class of anti-hyperglycaemic agents known as 'insulin sensitisers'. In particular Compound (I) is a thiazolidinedione insulin sensitiser.
European Patent Applications, Publication Numbers: 0008203, 0139421, 0032128, 0428312, 0489663, 0155845, 0257781, 0208420, 0177353, 0319189, 0332331, 0332332, 0528734, 0508740; International Patent Application, Publication Numbers 92/18501, 93/02079, 93/22445 and United States Patent Numbers 5104888 and 5478852, also disclose certain thiazolidinedione insulin sensitisers.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the insulin secretagogue and the biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent depend upon the particular compound used but include known pharmaceutically acceptable forms of the particular compound
chosen. Such derivatives are found or are referred to in standard reference texts such as the British and US Pharmacopoeias, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co.), Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia (London, The Pharmaceutical Press) (for example see the 31st Edition page 341 and pages cited therein).
The insulin sensitisers, such as Compound (I) or, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, may be prepared using known methods, for example those disclosed in the above mentioned patents and patent applications, such as EP 0306228 and WO94/05659 for Compound (I). The disclosures of the above mentioned patents and patent applications, such as EP 0306228 and WO94/05659, are incorporated herein by reference.
Compound (I) may exist in one of several tautomeric forms, all of which are encompassed by the term Compound (I) as individual tautomeric forms or as mixtures thereof. Compound (I) contains a chiral carbon atom, and hence can exist in up to two stereoisomeric forms, the term Compound (I) encompasses all of these isomeric forms whether as individual isomers or as mixtures of isomers, including racemates.
The insulin secretagogue and biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent of choice is prepared according to known methods, such methods are found or are referred to in standard reference texts, such as the British and US Pharmacopoeias, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co.), Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia (London, The Pharmaceutical Press) (for example see the 31st Edition page 341 and pages cited therein).
When used herein the term 'conditions associated with diabetes' includes conditions associated with diabetes mellitus itself and complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Also included in 'conditions associated with diabetes' are those conditions associated with the pre-diabetic state.
When used herein the term 'conditions associated with the pre-diabetic state' includes conditions such as insulin resistance, including hereditary insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinaemia.
'Conditions associated with diabetes mellitus itself include hyperglycaemia, insulin resistance, including acquired insulin resistance. Further conditions associated with diabetes mellitus itself include hypertension and cardiovascular disease, especially atherosclerosis and conditions associated with insulin resistance. Conditions associated with insulin resistance include polycystic ovarian syndrome and steroid induced insulin resistance and gestational diabetes.
'Complications associated with diabetes mellitus' includes renal disease, especially renal disease associated with Type 2 diabetes, neuropathy and retinopathy.
Renal diseases associated with Type 2 diabetes include nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, glomerular sclerosis, hypertensive nephrosclerosis and end stage
renal disease. Additional renal diseases associated with Type 2 diabetes include nephrotic syndrome.
For the avoidance of doubt, when reference is made herein to scalar amounts, including mg amounts, of Compound (I) in a pharmaceutically acceptable form, the scalar amount referred to is made in respect of Compound (I) per se: For example 2 mg of Compound (I) in the form of the maleate salt is that amount of maleate salt which contains 2 mg of Compound (I).
Diabetes mellitus is preferably Type 2 diabetes.
The particularly beneficial effect on glycaemic control provided by the treatment of the invention is indicated to be a synergistic effect relative to the control expected for the sum of the effects of the individual active agents.
Suitably the insulin sensitiser is the agent of first administration. Glycaemic control may be characterised using conventional methods, for example by measurement of a typically used index of glycaemic control such as fasting plasma glucose or glycosylated haemoglobin (HbAlc). Such indices are determined using standard methodology, for example those described in: Tuescher A, Richterich, P., Schweiz. med. Wschr. 101 (1971), 345 and 390 and Frank P., 'Monitoring the Diabetic Patent with Glycosolated Hemoglobin Measurements', Clinical Products 1988
In a preferred aspect, the dosage level of each of the active agents when used in accordance with the treatment of the invention will be less than would have been required from a purely additive effect upon glycaemic control.
There is also an indication that the treatment of the invention will effect an improvement, relative to the individual agents, in the levels of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), leptin and serum lipids including total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol including improvements in the ratios thereof, in particular an improvement in serum lipids including total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol including improvements in the ratios thereof.
As used herein the term 'pharmaceutically acceptable' embraces both human and veterinary use: for example the term 'pharmaceutically acceptable' embraces a veterinarily acceptable compound.
In the method of the invention, the active medicaments are preferably administered in pharmaceutical composition form. As indicated above, such compositions can include all medicaments or one only of the medicaments.
Accordingly, in one aspect the present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising an insulin sensitiser, such as Compound (I) and especially 2 to 12 mg thereof, an insulin secretagogue and a biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.
Such compositions may be prepared by admixing an insulin'sensitiser, such as Compound (I) and especially 2 to 12 mg thereof, an insulin secretagogue and a biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier therefor.
Usually the compositions are adapted for oral administration. However, they may be adapted for other modes of administration, for example parenteral administration, sublingual or transdermal administration.
The compositions may be in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, granules, lozenges, suppositories, reconstitutable powders, or liquid preparations, such as oral or sterile parenteral solutions or suspensions.
In order to obtain consistency of administration it is preferred that a composition of the invention is in the form of a unit dose.
Unit dose presentation forms for oral administration may be tablets and capsules and may contain conventional excipients such as binding agents, for example syrup, acacia, gelatin, sorbitol, tragacanth, or polyvinylpyrrolidone; fillers, for example lactose, sugar, maize-starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol or glycine; tablerting lubricants, for example magnesium stearate; disintegrants, for example starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium starch glycollate or microcrystalline cellulose; or pharmaceutically acceptable wetting agents such as sodium lauryl sulphate.
The compositions are preferably in a unit dosage form in an amount appropriate for the relevant daily dosage.
Suitable dosages for the insulin sensitisers include those disclosed in the abovementioned patents and patent applications.
Suitable dosages, including unit dosages, of Compound (I) comprise 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 mg of Compound (I).
In the treatment the medicaments may be administered from 1 to 6 times a day, but most preferably 1 or 2 times per day.
Particular dosages of Compound (I) are 2mg/day, 4mg/day, including 2mg twice per day, and 8 mg/day, including 4mg twice per day.
Suitable dosages including unit dosages of the insulin secretagogue, such as the sulphonylurea, or the biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent, include the known dosages including unit doses for these compounds as described or referred to in reference text such as the British and US Pharmacopoeias, Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Mack Publishing Co.), Martindale The Extra Pharmacopoeia (London, The Pharmaceutical Press) (for example see the 31st Edition page 341 and pages cited therein).
Thus for the sulphonylureas, a typical daily dosage of glibenclamide is in the range of from 2.5 to 20 mg, for example lOmg twice per day or 20mg once per day; a
typical daily dosage of glipizide is in the range of from 2.5 to 40 mg; a typical daily dosage of gliclazide is in the range of from 40 to 320 mg; a typical daily dosage of tolazamide is in the range of from 100 to 1000 mg; a typical daily dosage of tolbutamide is in the range of from 1000 to 3000 mg; a typical daily dosage of chlorpropamide is in the range of from 100 to 500 mg; and a typical daily dosage of gliquidone is in the range of from 15 to 180 mg.
