Description

    TECHNICAL FIELD
  • This invention relates to a remedy for overactive bladder comprising (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide or a salt thereof as an active ingredient.
    • BACKGROUND ART
  • Bladder of mammals is under a dual control of autonomic nerve and detrusor relaxes via an adrenaline β receptor by stimulation of sympathetic nerve upon urination while, upon excretion of urine, it contracts via a muscarine receptor by stimulation of parasympathetic nerve. As a remedy for overactive bladder resulted when the dual control as such is unbalanced, anticholinergic agents such as propiverine hydrochloride and oxybutynin hydrochloride have been mostly used at present. However, there are intractable cases showing resistance to such compounds and there are side effects caused by anticholinergic agents such as urinary dysfunction and dry mouth and, therefore, it is the current status that satisfactory clinical results are not always achieved.
  • Further, as a result of increase in population of aged people in recent years, numbers of patients suffering from overactive bladder are increasing year by year and, in view of QOL (quality of life) of patients, there has been a brisk demand for the development of new drugs.
  • The present inventors reported in Example 41 of a pamphlet of International Laid-Open WO 99/20607 that (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]-ethyl]acetic acid anilide dihydrochloride has both promotion action for insulin secretion and enhancing action for insulin sensitivity and further has anti-obese and anti-hyperlipemic actions whereby it is a useful compound for the treatment of diabetes mellitus but there is neither suggestion nor disclosure for the therapeutic use for overactive bladder (refer to Patent Document 1).

    • DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
  • The present inventors have carried out intensive studies for finding new pharmacological effects of (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]-ethyl]acetic acid anilide or a salt thereof (hereinafter, referred to as “the active ingredient of the present invention”) which is useful as a remedy for diabetes mellitus and, as a result, they have found that the active ingredient of the present invention is useful as a remedy particularly for overactive bladder. In the present invention, overactive bladder is defined as a disease by which urinary urgency is frequently resulted. Although benign prostatic hyperplasia is exemplified as one of the causes for overactive bladder, there are many cases where the cause is ambiguous and they are called idiopathic overactive bladder. Although overactive bladder is sometimes accompanied by urinary frequency and urinary incontinence, it is not limited to the disease which is always accompanied by urinary frequency and urinary incontinence. Thus, in the case of mild overactive bladder, a patient is sensitive to the sense of wishing to urinate and frequently has a sense of wishing to urinate but, actually, he/she is able to hold his/her urine for a while. However, even in the case of a mild overactive bladder, its improvement has been strongly demanded in view of QOL (quality of life) of a patient. On the other hand, a severe overactive bladder is sometimes accompanied by urinary frequency and urinary incontinence. Urinary frequency is a state where number of times of urination is more than the normal one and is said to be not less than about two times at night and not less than about 8 times during 24 hours. In urinary incontinence, there is an involuntary leakage of urine and that is defined as a state where there is a problem socially or hygienically and is classified into stress urinary incontinence which occurs when abdominal pressure is applied such as cough and sneeze, urinary urge incontinence where a desire to urinate suddenly occurs and urine leaks before arriving at the toilet and urinary incontinence of a mixed type where both stress urinary incontinence and urinary urge incontinence are present.
  • The characteristic feature of the present invention is that the active ingredient of the present invention mitigates especially the frequent occurrence of urinary urgency of a patient and number of times of urination and state of urination are made into a more normal state. It goes without saying that overactive bladder in the present invention includes not only that as a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia but also that accompanied with urinary urgency, urinary incontinence and pollakiuria.
  • In Patent Document 1, the active ingredient of the present invention is useful, in addition to treatment of diabetes, as an agent for prevention and treatment of other diseases where an improvement in symptom is able to be achieved by reducing the symptom of obesity and hyperlipemia such as arteriosclerosis, ischemic cardiac disease such as cardiac infarction and angina pectoris, brain artery sclerosis such as cerebral infarction, aneurysm, etc. However, there is neither description nor suggestion at all to the effect that the active ingredient of the present invention is useful as a remedy for overactive bladder.
  • In Patent Document 2, use for overactive bladder is not mentioned as well. In Patent Document 2, there is a description that only CGP-12,177A has a relaxation action to bladder as a compound having a selective stimulating action to a β3-adrenaline receptor. However, as compared with CGP-12,177A, the active ingredient of the present invention has far stronger relaxation action for bladder. In addition, in Patent Document 2, there is no description for in vivo tests showing the usefulness for the treatment of overactive bladder such as “rat rhythmic bladder contraction measurement test” and “urination function measurement test on cyclophosphamide-induced overactive bladder model rat”.
  • Further, use for overactive bladder is not mentioned in Patent Documents 3 to 5 as well. Compounds mentioned in Patent Documents 3 to 5 and the active ingredient of the present invention are different in their fundamental structures in such respects that the compounds mentioned in the documents always have a phenol ring but have no thiazole ring and also have no amide bond. In addition, in Patent Documents 3 to 5, there is no description for in vivo tests showing the usefulness for the treatment of overactive bladder such as “rat rhythmic bladder contraction measurement test” and “urination function measurement test on cyclophosphamide-induced overactive bladder model rat”.
  • The present invention will now be illustrated in detail as hereunder.
  • In the present invention, (R)-2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-4′-[2-[(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amino]ethyl]acetic acid anilide or a salt thereof is an active ingredient. The characteristic feature of the present invention is that the active ingredient of the present invention has been found to be useful as a remedy for overactive bladder which is a new use.
  • It is particularly preferred that the active ingredient of the present invention is a free substance having no salt. However, it may form a salt with an acid and examples of the salt are acid addition salts with a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid and an organic acid such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, maleic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, carbonic acid, picric acid, methanesulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid and glutamic acid. The active ingredient of the present invention having a salt may be easily manufactured from a free substance by a common salt-forming reaction. The active ingredient of the present invention further includes hydrate, solvate and polymorphism. The active ingredient of the present invention still further includes pharmacologically acceptable prodrug. With regard to a group for forming the prodrug, that mentioned in Prog. Med. 5, 2157-2161 (1985) and “Iyakuhin no Kaihatsu” (Development of Drugs) (Hirokawa Shoten, 1990), volume 7, Molecule Design, 163-198 may be exemplified.
  • The drug containing the active ingredient of the present invention may be in any of forms of oral administration by tablets, pills, capsules, granules, diluted powder, etc. and parenteral administration by inhalant, etc. As to a solid composition for oral administration, tablets, diluted powder, granules, etc. are used. In the solid composition as such, one or more active ingredient(s) is/are mixed with at least one inert excipient such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone and magnesium metasilicate aluminate. The composition may contain an inert additive such as lubricant (e.g., magnesium stearate), disintegrating agent (e.g., carboxymethyl starch sodium), solubilizing agent, etc. by a common method. Tablets and pills may, if necessary, be coated with sugar coat or with an intragastric or enteric coating agent. Dose may be appropriately decided for each case taking symptom, age and sex of the subject to be administered, etc. into consideration. Usually, it is about 0.01 mg/kg to 100 mg/kg per day for an adult in the case of oral administration and is administered either at one time or by dividing into two to four.
  • The active ingredient of the present invention is able to be easily manufactured by a method mentioned in Patent Document 1 but, since method for the manufacture of a free substance which is preferred as the active ingredient of the present invention is not specifically mentioned therein, such a manufacturing method is shown in Manufacturing Examples. Route for the manufacture is illustrated as follows.

    • BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
  • The present invention will now be specifically illustrated by way of the following Examples but the present invention is not limited to the content thereof.
    • Example 1 Isolated Rat Bladder Smooth Muscle Relaxation Test Test Method
  • The test was conducted by referring to The Journal of Urology, 1999, volume 161, page 680.
  • Male rats of Wistar strain of 10 to 11 weeks age were sacrificed by depletion, whole bladder was isolated by laparotomy and bladder sections each being in a size of about 3×10 mm were prepared in a nutrient solution which was well oxygenated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2 (Krebs-Henseleit solution (118.4 mM NaCl, 4.7 mM KCl, 1.2 mM KH2PO4; 1.2 mM MgSO4, 2.5 mM CaCl2, 25.0 mM NaHCO3 and 11.1 mM glucose)). The section was hung in a Magnus tube in which a nutrient solution (Krebs-Henseleit solution) of 37° C. into which 95% O2 and 5% CO2 were aerated, stabilized for 30 to 60 minutes with a load of 1 g and 10−6 M carbachol (CCh) or 40 mM potassium chloride (KCl) was repeatedly applied thereto whereupon it was confirmed that reactivity to CCh or KCl became almost constant. After contraction by 10−6 M CCh or 40 mM KCl was induced and the generated tension was stabilized, a test drug (compound A or CGP-12,177A) was cumulatively administered in 10-fold ratio with intervals of about 10 minutes and the relaxation reaction was observed. After completion of observation of relaxation reaction at maximum concentration of the test drug, 10−4 M papaverine was added to induce the maximum relaxation and a relaxation rate was calculated where the relaxation reaction was defined as 100%.
    • Results
  • As a result of the above test, the compound A which is the active ingredient of the present invention showed a strong relaxation action in antagonism test to contraction by carbachol and antagonism test to contraction by potassium chloride in an isolated rat bladder smooth muscle relaxation test. In addition, the compound A showed a significantly strong relaxation action as compared with CGP-12,177A (control compound).
  • Relaxation rates to drug concentration of the compound A which is the active ingredient of the present invention and the control compound are shown in FIG. 1 (antagonism test to contraction by carbachol) and FIG. 2 (antagonism test to contraction by potassium chloride), respectively. Further, EC50 and maximum relaxation rate of the test drug in the antagonism test to contraction by carbachol are shown in Table 1 while concentration comparison of the compound A expressing the maximum relaxation rate of CGP-12,177A is shown in Table 2.

    • Example 2 Rat Rhythmic Bladder Contraction Measurement Test Test Method
  • The test was conducted by referring to European Journal of Pharmacology, 2000, volume 407, page 175.
    • 1. Measuring Method
  • Female rats (225 to 290 g) of Wistar strain was used for the test. Under anesthetization with urethane, right and left ureters were ligated and cut and, after that, a polyethylene cannula was inserted from external urinary meatus and fixed. One end of the fixed cannula was connected to a pressure transducer via a three-way cock and pressure in the bladder was measured. Another end thereof was connected to a syringe pump and a physiological saline solution was continuously infused at a constant rate into bladder whereupon rhythmic bladder contraction was induced. The continuous infusion of a physiological saline solution was stopped after a rhythmic bladder contraction was noted. After the rhythmic bladder contraction was stabilized, drug or vehicle was administered from a catheter for administration of drug inserted into femoral vein.
    • 2. Drug
  • The compound A was intravenously administered in increased doses where the ratio was 3 (0.03, 0.1, 0.3, 1 and 3 mg/kg). A group to which vehicle was administered was used as a control group.
    • 3. Evaluated Items and Statistical Analysis
  • Parameters for evaluation were number of times and contraction pressure of bladder contraction during 10 minutes from 5 to 15 minutes after the administration of the drug and each group was conducted in n=5. The result is shown in terms of mean value±standard error and Student t-test was conducted for comparison between the two groups.
    • Results
  • By intravenous administration of the compound A, contraction frequency of rhythmic bladder contraction decreased on a dose-dependent manner (FIG. 3). An action of decreasing the contraction frequency by intravenous injection (i.v.) of 3 mg/kg of the compound A was significant as compared with the control group. On the other hand, the compound A did not affect the contraction pressure until intravenous administration of 3 mg/kg (FIG. 4). The fact of no influence on the contraction pressure is a preferred property from the viewpoint that urinary retention is not induced or that residual urine is not resulted upon urination.
  • A suppressive effect for contraction frequency by the compound A is presumed to be due to an increase in bladder volume by stimulation of the compound A for a β3 receptor existing in the bladder. It has been believed that an increase in functional bladder volume showing the urine volume which is able to be stored in the bladder is clinically useful for the treatment of patients suffering from overactive bladder and, therefore, the compound A is believed to be clinically effective as a remedy for overactive bladder.
    • Example 3 Test for Measurement of Urination Function of Model Rat Suffering from Overactive Bladder Induced by Cyclophosphamide
  • Overactive bladder model rats induced by cyclophosphamide were prepared by referring to British Journal of Pharmacology, 2000, volume 130, page 331 and the following test was conducted.
    • Test Method 1. Measuring Method
  • Female rats (220 to 230 g) of Wistar strain were used for the test. Under anesthetization with pentobarbital sodium, a catheter for infusion of physiological saline solution and for measurement of pressure in bladder was inserted into bladder from the top of the bladder and fixed while a catheter for administration of a drug was inserted into carotid vein and fixed. Cyclophosphamide (CYP) was administered into abdominal cavity and, after being recovered, the rats were returned to a feeding cage. On the next day of the operation, one end of the catheter inserted into bladder of the rat was connected to a syringe pump via a three-way cock and a physiological saline solution was continuously infused whereby micturition reflex was induced. Another end was connected to a pressure transducer and pressure in the bladder was measured. After the micturition reflex was stabilized, 1 mg/kg of the compound A was administered from a catheter for administration of drug which was inserted into carotid vein.
    • 2. Evaluated Items and Statistical Analysis
  • Parameter for the evaluation was an average interval for urination from administration of the drug until 30 minutes thereafter. The result was shown in terms of an average urination interval after administration of the drug to the average urination interval before administration of the drug where an average urination interval during 30 minutes before administration of the drug was defined 100% and was shown in a mean value of n=3.
    • Results
  • As a result of intravenous administration of the compound A (1 mg/kg), micturition interval of overactive bladder model rats induced by cyclophosphamide was elongated to an extent of 17.3% (FIG. 5). From such a fact, the compound A which prolongs the micturition interval of the present model rats is believed to be clinically effective as a remedy for overactive bladder.
  • Thus, the active ingredient of the present invention shows a strong bladder relaxation action in “isolated rat bladder smooth muscle relaxation test”, decreases the contraction frequency of rhythmic bladder contraction on a dose-depending manner in “rat rhythmic bladder contraction measurement test” and prolongs the micturition interval in “micturition function measurement test on cyclophosphamide-induced overactive bladder model rat” whereby it is clinically useful as a remedy for overactive bladder. In addition to overactive bladder as a result of benign prostatic hyperplasia, it is also able to be used as a remedy for overactive bladder accompanied with urinary urgency, urinary incontinence and pollakiuria.
