"USO DI EPIGALLOCATECHIN-3-GALLATO O SUOI DERIVATI NELLA PROFILASSI E NEL TRATTAMENTO DELLE MALATTIE NEURODEGENERATIVE" "USE OF EPIGALLOCATECHIN-3-GALLATE OR ITS DERIVATIVES IN THE PROPHYLAXIS AND TREATMENT OF NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES"
CAMPO DI APPLICAZIONE FIELD OF APPLICATION
La presente invenzione riguarda l'uso di un composto o suoi derivati nella profilassi e nel trattamento delle malattie neurodegenerative. The present invention relates to the use of a compound or its derivatives in the prophylaxis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.
Le malattie neurodegenerative costituiscono un problema rilevante a livello socio-economico e sanitario. Si possono citare il morbo di Parkinson e il morbo di Alzheimer, che sono le principali cause di demenza nella popolazione americana ed europea, la sindrome di Creutzfeldt-Jacob causata dal prione, e la malattia del sonno causata da protozoi, tra cui il Tripanosoma brucei rhodensiense e il Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. La malattia del sonno rappresenta una delle cause principali della mortalità nella popolazione africana. Neurodegenerative diseases are a significant socio-economic and health problem. Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, which are the main causes of dementia in the American and European population, Creutzfeldt-Jacob syndrome caused by the prion, and sleeping sickness caused by protozoa, including Trypanosoma brucei, can be cited. rhodensiense and Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. Sleeping sickness is a major cause of mortality in the African population.
I farmaci attualmente disponibili per il trattamento delle malattie neurodegenerative non consentono di realizzare terapie efficaci e pertanto il trattamento farmacologico di queste malattie è insoddisfacente. The drugs currently available for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases do not allow for effective therapies and therefore the pharmacological treatment of these diseases is unsatisfactory.
Le malattie neurodegenerative sono causate dalla morte delle cellule nervose, come ad es. astrociti, astroglia e neuroni. Questi processi degenerativi delle cellule nervose sono correlati all'azione dell 'interferone-γ (IFN-γ) (Galimberti D. et al. (1999) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm. Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by the death of nerve cells, such as eg. astrocytes, astroglia and neurons. These degenerative processes of nerve cells are related to the action of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) (Galimberti D. et al. (1999) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm.
263, 251-256; Hunot S. et al. (1999) J. Neurosci. 19 3440-3447; Blasko I. et al. (1999) FAsEB J. 13 63-68; Suo Z. et al. (1998) Brain Res. 807 110-117; Delgado et ai.(1998) J. Leukoc . Biol. 63 740-745; Rossi F, Bianchini E. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Co~un. 225 474-478; MedaL . et al (1995) Nature 374, 647-650) che mediante l'attivazione di un fattore nucleare STATI (Signal transducers and activators of transcr iption 1), svolge le varie azioni pleiotropiche (Boehm, U. et al.(1997) Annu . Rev . Immunol. 15, 749-795; Kordula T. et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273 4112-4118; Kitamura Y. et al Neurosci. Lett. 237 17-20). Tra le diverse azioni dell'interferone γ nella cellula è particolarmente importante la sua capacità di modulare l'espressione di un enzima, l'ossido nitrico sintasi inducibile (iNOS), che producendo grandi quantità di NO può indurre la morte delle cellule nervose. Questo spiega perché l'interferone γ sia una causa dell'insorgenza di patologie neuro degenerative. 263, 251-256; Hunot S. et al. (1999) J. Neurosci. 19 3440-3447; Blasko I. et al. (1999) FAsEB J. 13 63-68; His Z. et al. (1998) Brain Res. 807 110-117; Delgado et al. (1998) J. Leukoc. Biol. 63 740-745; Rossi F, Bianchini E. (1996) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Co ~ a. 225 474-478; MedaL. et al (1995) Nature 374, 647-650) which, through the activation of a nuclear factor STATES (Signal transducers and activators of transcr iption 1), carries out the various pleiotropic actions (Boehm, U. et al. (1997) Annu . Rev. Immunol. 15, 749-795; Kordula T. et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273 4112-4118; Kitamura Y. et al Neurosci. Lett. 237 17-20). Among the various actions of interferon γ in the cell, its ability to modulate the expression of an enzyme, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which produces large quantities of NO can induce the death of nerve cells, is particularly important. This explains why interferon γ is a cause of the onset of neuro degenerative diseases.
Era sentita l'esigenza di avere a disposizione farmaci per la profilassi ed il trattamento delle malattie neuro degenerative, particolarmente efficaci nell'inibizione dell'attivazione dello STATI. The need was felt to have available drugs for the prophylaxis and treatment of neuro degenerative diseases, particularly effective in inhibiting the activation of the STATE.
Questo problema tecnico è stato risolto mediante l'impiego del composto epigallocatechin-3-gallato , o suoi derivati . This technical problem has been solved by using the compound epigallocatechin-3-gallate, or its derivatives.
Costituisce pertanto un oggetto della presente invenzione l'uso nella profilassi e nel trattamento delle malattie neuro degenerative di composti della seguente formula (I), o suoi derivati: Therefore, an object of the present invention is the use in the prophylaxis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases of compounds of the following formula (I), or its derivatives:
L'attività dei composti di formula (I) nelle patologie neurodegenerative è stata dimostrata nella presente invenzione mediante un modello sperimentale in vitro, utilizzando cellule di glioblastoma umano U251. In questo esperimento è stato dimostrato che, ad esempio utilizzando come composto dell'invenzione epigallocatechin-3 -gallato (EGCG), in concentrazione 5 μΜ, i composti dell'invenzione sono efficaci nel trattamento delle patologie neurodegenerative, infatti inibiscono il 50 % dell ' attivazione massimale di STATI indotta dall ' interferone Y-I composti dell'invenzione vengono utilizzati negli esperimenti in vitro (si vedano gli esempi) in genere in dosi comprese tra 1 e 50 μΜ, preferibilmente da 5 a 20 μΜ, in mezzo di coltura DME, completato con 10% v/v di siero di feto bovino. The activity of the compounds of formula (I) in neurodegenerative pathologies has been demonstrated in the present invention by means of an in vitro experimental model, using human glioblastoma U251 cells. In this experiment it has been shown that, for example by using epigallocatechin-3 -gallate (EGCG) as the compound of the invention, in a concentration of 5 μΜ, the compounds of the invention are effective in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, in fact they inhibit 50% of the maximal activation of STATES induced by interferon Y-The compounds of the invention are used in in vitro experiments (see examples) generally in doses ranging from 1 to 50 μΜ, preferably from 5 to 20 μΜ, in DME culture medium, completed with 10% v / v of bovine fetus serum.
E' stato trovato dal Richiedente che in generale l'inibizione di STATI avviene in modo dose dipendente. It has been found by the Applicant that in general the inhibition of STATES occurs in a dose dependent manner.
L'azione inibitoria dei composti dell'invenzione nei processi neurodegenerativi sopra descritti non è attribuibile all'attività antiossidante, antiinfiammatoria o antitumorale dei composti di formula (I). Infatti utilizzando cellule di glioblastoma umano U251 è stato dimostrato che utilizzando farmaci antiossidanti, antiinfiammatori o antitumorali, non sono in grado di inibire l'attivazione di STATI indotta dall'interferone γ (si vedano gli esempi). Come farmaci ad attività antiossidante è stata utilizzata la vitamina C. Questo composto non è risultato attivo neanche alla dose 100 μΜ. Come composti antiinf iammatori è stato utilizzato un antiinfiammatorio steroideo, Idrocortisone . Anche questo composto non è risultato attivo neanche alla dose 100 μΜ. Ε' stato utilizzato anche un antiinf iammatorio non steroideo, Ibuprofen, che non è risultato attivo alla dose 400 μM. Come composto antitumorale è stato utilizzato il cisplatino, che non è risultato attivo àlla dose 17 μΜ. The inhibitory action of the compounds of the invention in the neurodegenerative processes described above is not attributable to the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or antitumor activity of the compounds of formula (I). In fact, using human glioblastoma U251 cells it has been shown that using antioxidant, anti-inflammatory or anticancer drugs, they are not able to inhibit the activation of STATES induced by interferon γ (see examples). Vitamin C was used as drugs with antioxidant activity. This compound was not active even at the 100 μΜ dose. An anti-inflammatory steroid, Hydrocortisone, was used as anti-inflammatory compounds. Even this compound was not active even at the 100 μΜ dose. A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, Ibuprofen, was also used, which was not active at the 400 μM dose. Cisplatin was used as an anticancer compound, which was not active at the 17 μΜ dose.
Ε' stato dimostrato dal Richiedente che per inibire l'attività di STATI la struttura dei composti di formula <(>I<) >è specifica: infatti né l'acido gallico né 1 'epigallocatechina, che sono i due componenti polifenolici di EGCG, posseggono attività inibente su STATI. It has been demonstrated by the Applicant that in order to inhibit the activity of STATES, the structure of the compounds of formula <(> I <)> is specific: in fact, neither gallic acid nor epigallocatechin, which are the two polyphenolic components of EGCG, they possess inhibitory activity on STATES.
L 'epigallocatechin-3-gallato è disponibile sul mercato. Esso è il componente principale dell'estratto di tè verde, i metodi per 1'isolamento sono indicati nel Merck Index 12a Ed. nella letteratura ivi citata. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate is available on the market. It is the main component of green tea extract, the methods for isolation are indicated in the Merck Index 12th Ed. In the literature cited therein.

See e.g. the volume "Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 15 <th> Ed."
L'attivazione del sistema STATI svolge un ruolo rilevante anche in altre patologie quali ad esempio asma (Guo F.H. et al. J. Immunol. 2000, 164(11) 6970-80; Sampath e al., J. Clin. Invest. 1999, 103(9) 1353-61), diabete (Hill N.J.et al., Diabetes 200049(10) 1744-7; Sekine N. et al. J. Celi Physiol. 2000 184(1) 46-57), malattie cardiovascolari (J. Biol. Chem. 2000275 10002-8), obesità (Scarpace P.J et al., Neuropharmacology 2000, 39(10) 1872-9; Velloso L.A. et al. Cardiovasc. Res . 1998 272(26) 16216-23). I prodotti dell'invenzione possono essere usati anche nella terapia di queste patologie. The activation of the STATE system also plays an important role in other pathologies such as for example asthma (Guo F.H. et al. J. Immunol. 2000, 164 (11) 6970-80; Sampath et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1999 , 103 (9) 1353-61), diabetes (Hill N.J.et al., Diabetes 200049 (10) 1744-7; Sekine N. et al. J. Celi Physiol. 2000 184 (1) 46-57), cardiovascular disease (J. Biol. Chem. 2000275 10002-8), obesity (Scarpace P.J et al., Neuropharmacology 2000, 39 (10) 1872-9; Velloso L.A. et al. Cardiovasc. Res. 1998 272 (26) 16216-23) .
