Description

IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE AGENTS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Replacement of diseased or severely injured tissue and organs with transplanted tissue or organs has become a common medical practice. Grafts from an individual to self almost invariably succeed, and are especially important in the treatment of burn patients. Likewise, grafts or organ transplants between two genetically identical individuals have a high success rate. However, grafts or organ transplants between two genetically dissimilar individuals generally do not succeed without immunosuppressive drug therapies .
A number of drugs are currently being used or investigated for their immunosuppressive properties. Among these drugs, the most commonly used immunosuppressant is cyclosporin A. However, usage of cyclosporin has numerous side effects such as nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and other central nervous system disorders. Thus, there is presently a need to investigate new immunosuppressive agents that are less toxic but equally as effective as those currently available.
There are a number of autoimmune disease states for which present treatments are inadequate. Examples include asthma, psoriasis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus erythematosus . Consequently, there is a need for new drugs which can treat these autoimmune disorders. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
One embodiment of the present invention is a method of suppressing the immune system in a subject in need of immune system suppression. The method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound represented by Structural Formula (I) , (II) , (III) or (IV) :

Arx and Ar4 are independently an aromatic group or a substituted aromatic group.
Ar2 and Ar3 are independently an aromatic group, substituted aromatic group, a cycloalkyl group, a substituted cycloalkyl group, a non-aromatic heterocyclic group or a substituted non-aromatic heterocyclic group.
Xx is a covalent bond, -CH2-, -CH2CH2-, -CH=CH- or a cycloalkyl group to which Arx and Ar2 are both fused.
X2 is a covalent bond, -C(O)-, -CH2-, -CH(R2)-, -CH2-CH(R2)- or -CH2-C (R3) (R2) - . X3 is a covalent bond or -CH2-, -CH(R2)-, -NH- , and -N(R2) .

R2 and R3 are independently -H,a C1-C3 alkyl or halogenated alkyl group, or wherein R2 and R3, taken together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, are a C3-C6 cycloalkyl group.
The invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of the compounds or small organic molecules which have been identified herein as immune system suppressants and a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. The invention further relates to novel compounds which can be used to suppress the immune system in a subject in need of immune system suppression.
The method of the present invention can be used to treat subjects having an autoimmune disease, such as asthma, psoriasis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus erythematosus . It is expected that the methods disclosed herein will not cause the undesirable side effects associated with other immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclosporin. In another embodiment, the method of the present invention can be used to treat tumors in a subject in need thereof.

Subjects in need of treatment to suppress the immune system include subjects with an autoimmune disease. Examples of autoimmune diseases include insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, asthma, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus erythematosus . Subjects with an organ transplant are also in need of treatment to suppress the immune system in order to suppress or prevent organ transplant rejection. An "organ transplant" refers to transferring or "transplanting" an internal organ (e.g. heart, lung, kidney, liver, pancreas, stomach, large intestine and small intestine) or external organ (e.g. skin) from a donor to a recipient, wherein the donor is genetically distinct from the individual or animal who has received the transplant. An "organ transplant" also includes cross species transplants. "An effective amount" is the dosage of compound required to achieve the desired therapeutic and/or prophylactic effect, for example the dosage of the compound which results in suppression of an immune response in the individual or animal, or which results in suppression of an organ transplant rejection in the subject. A "desired therapeutic effect and/or ■ 12 -
prophylactic effect" includes, for example, increasing the life span or ameliorating the symptoms of an individual or animal having or likely to have an autoimmune disease such as asthma, psoriasis, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and lupus erythematosus . Examples of symptoms which can be ameliorated include hyperglycemia in diabetes, joint pain, stiffness and immobility in rheumatoid arthritis, paralysis in multiple sclerosis and rash and skin lesion in lupus erythematosus. With respect to insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, a "desired therapeutic or prophylactic effect" includes mitigating or preventing secondary complications resulting from the disease, such as vascular disorders, arise. Suitable dosages can be determined by methods known in the art and can be dependent, for example, upon the individual's age, weight, sensitivity, tolerance and overall well-being. For example, dosages can be from about 10 mg/kg/day to about 1000 mg/kg/day. An effective amount of the compound can be administered by an appropriate route in a single dose or multiple doses.
A "subject" is preferably a mammal, such as a human, but can also be an animal in need of veterinary treatment, e.g., domestic animals (e.g., dogs, cats, and the like), farm animals (e.g., cows, sheep, pigs, horses, chickens and the like) and laboratory animals (e.g., rats, mice, guinea pigs, and the like).
The compound can be administered alone or in conjunction with other pharmacologically active agents, e.g., together with other immunosuppressive agents or together with antibiotics and/or antiviral agents. Compounds that can be coadministered include steroids, (e.g. methyl prednisolone acetate) , NSAIDS and other known immunosuppressants such as azathioprine, 15- deoxyspergualin, cyclosporin, mizoribine, mycophenolate ■ 13 -
mofetil, brequinar sodium, leflunomide, FK-506, rapamycin and related compounds. Dosages of these drugs will also vary depending upon the condition and individual to be treated. A variety of routes of administration are possible including, but not necessarily limited to parenteral (e.g., intravenous, intraarterial , intramuscular, subcutaneous injection), oral (e.g., dietary), nasal, slow releasing microcarriers, topical or rectal, depending on the disease or condition to be treated. Oral, parenteral and intravenous administration are preferred modes of administration. Formulation of the compound to be administered will vary according to the route of administration selected (e.g., solution, emulsion, gels, creams, ointments, oils, aerosoles, capsule) . An appropriate composition comprising the compound to be administered can be prepared in a physiologically acceptable vehicle or carrier. For solutions or emulsions, suitable carriers include, for example, aqueous or alcoholic/aqueous solutions, emulsions or suspensions, including saline and buffered media. Parenteral vehicles can include sodium chloride solution, Ringer's dextrose, dextrose and sodium chloride, lactated Ringer's or fixed oils. Intravenous vehicles can include various additives, preservatives, or fluid, nutrient or electrolyte replenishers (See, generally, Remington's Pharmaceutical Science, 16th Edition, Mack, Ed. (1980) ) . To avoid systemic exposure, the compound can be applied topically as a cream, ointment or gel.
