Definitions
- the present invention is in the fields of pharmacy, medicine, chemistry and biotechnology. More specifically, the present invention describes the use of hemopressin and variants with more than 7 amino acids to prepare an anticonvulsant pharmaceutical composition; an anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition; and a therapeutic method.
- the anticonvulsive pharmaceutical composition of the invention may be administered orally.
- oral administration of the composition of the invention demonstrated significant and surprising results in the curative or prophylactic treatment of seizures.
- Test results show that administration of the compound of the invention provides for the interaction and / or modulation of muscarinic and / or cannabinoid (CB) receptor activity, especially CB1 and / or CB2, the pharmaceutical composition of the invention being a promising alternative to administration of cannabinoid compounds currently known as anticonvulsants, such as, for example, cannabidiol.
- CBD cannabinoid
- the present invention describes for the first time the use of a peptidic compound including Hemopressin for the preparation of anticonvulsive pharmaceutical compositions.
- the pharmaceutical composition of the invention comprises a peptide active
- oral administration has provided brain effects in animals.
- in vivo tests with the pharmaceutical composition of the invention have shown surprising results regarding its anticonvulsant activity, and in addition it provides the advantage of being a good candidate to substitute the cannabinoid compounds known as anticonvulsants, such as Canabidiol.
- Cannabidiol despite its proven effects as an anticonvulsant, has been facing regulatory problems due to its origin, the Cannabis sativa plant.
- the present invention provides an additional therapeutic approach for patients suffering from seizures and having difficulty in obtaining drugs, being based on a peptide and not using Cannabis sativa derivatives.
- the results showed that the anticonvulsant of the invention provides other surprising technical advantages in use, including greater therapeutic effect, oral use, lower dosage, less occurrence of side effects such as prostration and nasal bleeding, among other technical advantages.
- Pilocarpine (commonly called "Pilo") is an alkaloid extracted from leaves of the jaborandi (Pilocarpus jaborandi) plant, a plant used for centuries by the Tupi-Guarani Indians who inhabit Brazil and take advantage of their properties of producing sour and saliva .
- Pilocarpine is a nonspecific muscarinic agonist, slowly degraded and without effects on nicotinic receptors and was introduced in clinical practice by the Brazilian physician Sifrônio Coutinho, in 1874, through extracts from the jaborandi leaf to obtain a diaphoretic effect (sweat production) and silagogue (production of saliva).
- pilocarpine at high concentrations induces the occurrence of convulsions, being used as an experimental model! therefore.
- Pilocarpine-induced seizures lead to neurotoxicity at the cellular level and may be related to increased cerebral oxidative stress and changes in the concentration of certain amino acids (Santos et al, 201 1).
- pilocarpine causes cholinergic changes capable of inducing status epilepticus (SE) associated with convulsive stereotyped movements.
- SE status epilepticus
- Pilo is able to induce epilepticus status both administered directly in the brain and intraperitoneally.
- This substance has been used in some experiments described in this patent application, its convulsive effects having been inhibited by the composition of the present invention.
- Much of the understanding of the mechanisms of epilepsy comes from studies in experimental animal models, especially in rats and mice.
- the administration of pilocarpine in rodents mimics epilepsy (ELT) in humans and is generally referred to as the "pilocarpine model”.
- the pilocarpine model is also useful for evidence of changes in muscarinic receptors, such as salivation.
- Acetylcholine through its muscarinic receptor (mAChRs) plays an important role in cognitive functions, such as learning and memory.
- mAChRs muscarinic receptors
- MAChRs are receptors that form G protein-receptor complexes on the cell membranes of certain neurons and other cells. They play several roles, including acting as the ultimate end receptor stimulated by acetylcholine released from postganglionic fibers in the parasympathetic nervous system.
- Muscarinic receptors are so called because they are more sensitive to muscarin than to nicotine. Its counterparts are nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), channels of receptor ions that are also important in the autonomic nervous system. Many drugs and other substances (eg, pilocarpine and scopolamine) manipulate these two distinct receptors acting as selective agonists or antagonists.
- nAChRs nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
- Many drugs and other substances eg, pilocarpine and scopolamine
- the mAChRs are among the most well characterized among the transmembrane receptors (7TM), being widely expressed in the central nervous system (CNS).
- Seven mAChR subtypes were cloned (M1, M2, M3, M4 and M5) and are generally divided into two distinct classes based on signal transduction.
- mAChR M1, M3 and M5 are subtypes that signal through Gq / 11 proteins and activate phospholipase-C and mobilize intracellular calcium.
- the mAChR M2 and M4 predominate through Gi / o proteins inhibiting adenylate cyclase and reducing the intracellular concentration of cAMP.
- the predominant mAChR in the CNS is the M1 subtype, which is located in the cortex, hippocampus, striatum and thalamus, where it is found post-synaptic.
- the M2 mAChRs are located predominantly in the brainstem and thalamus, but also in the cortex, hippocampus and striatum, where they control the release of acetylcholine.
- the MAChRs of M3 and M5 are expressed at much lower levels than Mh or Mh MAChRs in the CNS, but Mh MAChRs are found in the cortex and hippocampus, while M5 mAChRs have a very discrete location in the substantia nigra.
- Mh MAChR are found in many regions of the brain, including the cortex and hippocampus, but are more prominent in the striatum, where they are thought to play a role in controlling dopamine release and modulate locomotor activity.
- test results presented in the present application indicate that the composition of the invention interacts with cannabinoid receptors and / or muscarinic receptors.
- results show that the compound of the invention is anticonvulsive.
- CB cannabinoid
- the cannabinoid system which comprises the CB1 and CB2 receptors and their endogenous ligands, acts on various metabolic functions, including control of food intake and energy metabolism, among others.
- Cannabinoid receptors are widely expressed in the brain, including the cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, pituitary, and hypothalamus.
- CB receptors, particularly CB1 have already been identified in numerous peripheral organs and tissues, including the thyroid gland, adrenal gland, reproductive organs, adipose tissue, liver, muscle, and gastrointestinal tract.
- WO 2014/008567 discloses compounds and compositions useful for treating metabolic disorders comprising obesity, diabetes, systemic arterial hypertension (or disease, condition related and / or associated comorbidities); prevention of overweight; regulation of appetite; induction of satiety; prevention of weight gain after successful weight loss; increased energy consumption; aesthetic weight reduction; or bulimia.
- No report or suggestion of use of the compound of the invention as an anticonvulsant is made in said document, because this approach was not imagined by the inventors nor was it obvious from the state of the art.
- WO 201 01/01187 discloses the use of hemopressin for the treatment of obesity in a subject and further discloses that hemopressin is a compound that binds effectively to the CB1 receptor.
- the present invention differs from said document, among other reasons, by providing a composition for another therapeutic use, in addition to revealing for the first time the surprising anticonvulsant activity.
- WO 2013/021 196 discloses the use of hemopressin as an agent that interferes with oligodentine differentiation and is useful as an anti-demyelinating agent.
- the present invention differs from said document, among other reasons, in that it reveals another use. Test results performed by the inventors have been surprising in regard to inhibition of seizures, which is neither described nor suggested in said document.
