USPTO Application #: 20070191404
Title: Pharmaceutical compositions of pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones
Abstract: It was surprisingly found that a-trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin-complex formed of a trioxopyrimidine derivative represented by the below-described formula (I) and a water-soluble cyclodextrin (further abbreviated as CD) exhibits enhanced water solubility, excellent stability, and low topical stimulation and is useful as a therapeutic agent. Accordingly, the present invention provides a trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin complex formed of a trioxopyrimidine derivative or a salt thereof and a cyclodextrin, preferably α-, β- or γ-cyclodextrin or a water-soluble cyclodextrin derivative (water-soluble being defined as a solubility of at least 0.5 gr/100 ml water at 25° C.), wherein the trioxopyrimidine derivative is represented by formula (I). It was furthermore found that such a trioxopyrimidine complex with cyclodextrin and an adjuvant such as L-lysine or L-arginine show improved water solubility and bioavailability, excellent stability, and low topical stimulation and is useful as a therapeutic agent.

[0001] The invention comprises a pharmaceutical composition of pyrimidine-2,4,6-triones (trioxopyrimidines), methods for the manufacture and uses thereof.

[0002] Matrix metalloproteases (MMPs) are a family of zinc- and calcium-dependent proteases that are capable of degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM) and basement membrane (Egeblad, M., and Werb, Z., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2 (2002) 161-174; Overall, C. M., and Lopez-Otin, C., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2 (2002) 657-672). They are believed to have pivotal roles in embryonic development and growth (Holmbeck, K., et al., Cell 99 (1999) 81-92; Vu, T. H., et al., Cell 93 (1998) 411-422) as well as in tissue remodeling and repair (Shapiro, S. D., Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 10 (1998) 602-608; Lund, L. R., et al., EMBO J. 18 (1999) 4645-4656). Excessive or inappropriate expression of MMPs may therefore contribute to the pathogenesis of many tissue-remodelling processes, including tumor progression (Egeblad, M., and Werb, Z., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2 (2002) 161-174; Overall, C. M., and Lopez-Otin, C., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2 (2002) 657-672) and aneurysm formation (Carmeliet, P., et al., Nat. Genet. 17 (1997) 439-444). MMP effects are far from being restricted to ECM degradation (Chang, C., and Werb, D., Trends Cell Biol. 11 (2001) S37-43). Peptide growth factors that are sequestered by ECM proteins become available once degraded by MMP-9 (Manes, S., et al., J. Biol. Chem. 274 (1999) 6935-6945). MMPs can increase the bioavailability of VEGF (Bergers, G., et al., Nat. Cell Biol. 2 (2000) 737-744) but also generate angiogenesis inhibitors such as angiostatin by cleavage of plasminogen (Dong, Z., et al., Cell 88 (1997) 801-810). MMPs are thought to be involved in the mobilization of bone marrow stem cells (Janowska-Wieczorek, A., et al., Blood 93 (1999) 3379-3390). High concentration of MMP9 was observed during the G-CSF induced HPC mobilization (Carstanjen, D., et al., Transfusion 42 (2002) 588-596).

[0003] Trioxopyrimidines are compounds from a well-known structural class. Such compounds are described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,242,455 and 6,110,924; WO 97/23465; WO 98/58915; WO 01/25217, which are incorporated herein by reference, and Grams, F., et al., Biol. Chem. 382 (2001) 1277-1285, and are effective and highly selective for MMP-2, MMP-9 and MMP-14.

[0004] Cyclodextrins are cyclic carbohydrates derived from starch. They differ from one another by the number of glucopyranose units in their structure. The parent cyclodextrins contain six, seven and eight glucopyranose units, and are referred to as alpha, beta and gamma cyclodextrins respectively. The .alpha.-, .beta.- or .gamma.-cyclodextrins prepared by enzymatic starch conversion differ in the diameter of their hydrophobic cavity and are generally suitable for the inclusion of numerous lipophilic substances.

[0005] Trioxopyrimidines which are highly potent MMP inhibitors are only poorly soluble in water and water-based solvents. The object of the invention is therefore to provide an aqueous composition in which such a trioxopyrimidine is soluble and whereas such an aqueous composition of such a trioxopyrimidine can be used as a pharmaceutical composition.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0006] It was surprisingly found that a trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin complex formed of a trioxopyrimidine derivative represented by the below-described formula (I) and a water-soluble cyclodextrin (further abbreviated as CD) exhibits enhanced water solubility, excellent stability, and low topical stimulation and is useful as a therapeutic agent.

[0007] It was furthermore found that such a trioxopyrimidine complex with cyclodextrin and an adjuvant such as L-lysine or L-arginine show improved water solubility and bioavailability, excellent stability, and low topical stimulation and is useful as a therapeutic agent. Accordingly, the present invention provides a trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin complex formed of a trioxopyrimidine derivative or a salt thereof and a cyclodextrin, preferably .alpha.-, .beta.- or .gamma.-cyclodextrin or a water-soluble cyclodextrin derivative (water-soluble being defined as a solubility of at least 0.5 gr/100 ml water at 25.degree. C.), wherein the trioxopyrimidine derivative is represented by formula (I).

[0008] Furthermore the present invention provides a trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin complex formed of a trioxopyrimidine derivative represented by formula (I) or a salt thereof and a cyclodextrin, preferably .alpha., .beta.- or .gamma.-cyclodextrin or a water-soluble cyclodextrin derivative (water-soluble being defined as a solubility of at least 0.5 gr/100 ml water at 25.degree. C.), in the presence of an adjuvant such as L-lysine or L-arginine, preferably L-lysine.

[0009] Such a complex according to the invention is an inclusion complex of trioxopyrimidine-cyclodextrin and is provided in a liquid or solid form.
