Definitions
- This invention relates to the olefinic derivatives of 8-azoniabicyclo[3.2.1] octanes, pharmaceutical compositions, and use thereof in treating muscarinic acetylcholine receptor mediated diseases of the respiratory tract and combinations thereof.
- Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) belong to the superfamily of G-protein coupled receptors that have seven transmembrane domains. There are five subtypes of mAChRs, termed M1 -M5, and each is the product of a distinct gene. Each of these five subtypes displays unique pharmacological properties. Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are widely distributed in vertebrate organs where they mediate many of the vital functions.
- Muscarinic receptors can mediate both inhibitory and excitatory actions.
- M3 mAChRs mediate contractile responses.
- mAChRs have been localized to smooth muscle in the trachea and bronchi, the submucosal glands, and the parasympathetic ganglia. Muscarinic receptor density is greatest in parasympathetic ganglia and then decreases in density from the submucosal glands to tracheal and then bronchial smooth muscle. Muscarinic receptors are nearly absent from the alveoli.
- mAChR expression and function in the lungs please see Fryer and Jacoby (1998 Am J Respir Crit Care Med 158(5, pt 3) S 154-60).
- Three subtypes of mAChRs have been identified as important in the lungs,
- M 1 , M 2 and M 3 mAChRs located on airway smooth muscle, mediate muscle contraction. Stimulation of M 3 mAChRs activates the enzyme phospholipase C via binding of the stimulatory G protein Gq/11 (Gs), leading to liberation of phosphatidyl inositol-4,5-bisphosphate, resulting in phosphorylation of ( contractile proteins.
- Gq/11 stimulatory G protein
- M 3 mAChRs are also found on pulmonary submucosal glands. Stimulation of this population of M 3 mAChRs results in mucus secretion.
- M 2 mAChRs make up approximately 50-80% of the cholinergic receptor population on airway smooth muscles. Although the precise function is still unknown, they inhibit catecholaminergic relaxation of airway smooth muscle via inhibition of cAMP generation.
- Neuronal M 2 mAChRs are located on postganglionic parasympathetic nerves. Under normal physiologic conditions, neuronal M 2 mAChRs provide tight control of acetylcholine release from parasympathetic nerves. Inhibitory M 2 mAChRs have also been demonstrated on sympathetic nerves in the lungs of some species. These receptors inhibit release of noradrenaline, thus decreasing sympathetic input to the lungs.
- M 1 mAChRs are found in the pulmonary parasympathetic ganglia where they function to enhance neurotransmission. These receptors have also been localized to the peripheral lung parenchyma, however their function in the parenchyma is unknown.
- Muscarinic acetylcholine receptor dysfunction in the lungs has been noted in a variety of different pathophysiological states.
- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- inflammatory conditions lead to loss of inhibitory M2 muscarinic acetylcholine autoreceptor function on parasympathetic nerves supplying the pulmonary smooth muscle, causing increased acetylcholine release following vagal nerve stimulation (Fryer et al. 1999 Life Sc/ 64 (6-7) 449- 55).
- This mAChR dysfunction results in airway hyperreactivity and hyperresponsiveness mediated by increased stimulation of M3 mAChRs.
- potent mAChR antagonists would be useful as therapeutics in these mAChR-mediated disease states.
- COPD chronic bronchitis, chronic bronchiolitis and emphysema
- Smoking is the major risk factor for the development of COPD; nearly 50 million people in the U.S. alone smoke cigarettes, and an estimated 3,000 people take up the habit daily.
- COPD is expected to rank among the top five as a world-wide health burden by the year 2020.
- Inhaled anti-cholinergic therapy is currently considered the "gold standard" as first line therapy for COPD (Pauwels et al. 2001 Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med. 163:1256-1276).
- Ipratropium Bromide (Atrovent ⁇ : and Combivent ⁇ , in combination with albuterol) is currently the only inhaled anticholinergic marketed for the treatment of airway hyperreactive diseases. While this compound is a potent anti-muscarinic agent, it is short acting, and thus must be administered as many as four times daily in order to provide relief for the COPD patient. In Europe and Asia, the long-acting anti-cholinergic Tiotropium Bromide (Spiriva®) was recently approved, however this product is currently not available in the United States.
- mAChRs are widely distributed throughout the body, the ability to apply anti-cholinergics locally and/or topically to the respiratory tract is particularly advantageous, as it would allow for lower doses of the drug to be utilized. Furthermore, the ability to design topically active drugs that have long duration of action, and in particular, are retained either at the receptor or by the lung, would allow the avoidance of unwanted side effects that may be seen with systemic anticholinergic use.

- inhibitory effects of compounds at the M3 mAChR of the present invention are determined by the following in vitro and in vivo functional assays:
- mAChRs expressed on CHO cells were analyzed by monitoring receptor-activated calcium mobilization as previously described (H. M.Sarau et al, 1999. MoI. Pharmacol. 56, 657-663).
- CHO cells stably expressing M3 mAChRs were plated in 96 well black wall/clear bottom plates. After 18 to 24 hours, media was aspirated and replaced with 100 ⁇ l of load media (EMEM with Earl's salts, 0.1% RIA-grade BSA (Sigma, St. Louis MO), and 4 ⁇ M Fluo-3- acetoxymethyl ester fluorescent indicator dye (Fluo-3 AM, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) and incubated 1 hr at 37° C.

- the dye-containing media was then aspirated, replaced with fresh media (without Fluo-3 AM), and cells were incubated for 10 minutes at 37° C.

- NMS N-methyl scopolamine
- Tissues were then rinsed every 15 minutes over 1 hour until reaching baseline tone. The preparations were then left for at least 30 minutes before the start of the experiment. Concentration-response curves were obtained by a cumulative addition of carbachol in half-log increments (Van Rossum, 1963, Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn., 143:299), initiated at 1 nM. Each concentration was left in contact with the preparation until the response plateaued before the addition of the subsequent carbachol concentration. Paired tissues were exposed to mAChR antagonist compounds or vehicle for 30 min before carbachol cumulative concentration- response curves were generated. All data is given as mean ⁇ standard error of the mean (s.e.m.) with ⁇ being the number of different animals.
- Antagonist concentration-response curves were obtained by plotting the maximal relaxation data at 0, 60 and 180-min following antagonist withdrawal. Recovery, termed shift, was calculated from the ratio of the 0-min inhibition curve IC50 and the concentration of compound yielding a similar tension recovery at 60 and 180 minutes.
- Halftimes for onset and offset of response were plotted vs. corresponding concentration and the data were fit with non-linear regression. These values were extrapolated at the IC50 (determined from the inhibition concentration-response curve) and designated Otso (time required, at the IC50 concentration, to reach half of the onset response) and Rt50 (time required, at the IC50 concentration, to reach half of the recovery response).
- Mice were pre-treated with 50 ⁇ l of compound (0.003-10 ⁇ g/mouse) in 50 ⁇ l of vehicle (10% DMSO) intranasally (i.n.) and were then placed in the plethysmography chamber a given amount of time following drug administration (15 min - 96 h). For potency determination, a dose response to a given drug was performed, and all measurements were taken 15 min following i.n. drug administration. For duration of action determination, measurements were taken anywhere from 15 min to 96 hours following i.n. drug administration.
- mice were allowed to equilibrate for 10 min before taking a baseline Penh measurement for 5 minutes.
- Mice were then challenged with an aerosol of methacholine (10 mg/ml) for 2 minutes. Penh was recorded continuously for 7 min starting at the inception of the methacholine aerosol, and continuing for 5 minutes afterward. Data for each mouse were analyzed and plotted by using GraphPad PRISM software. This experiment allows the determination of duration of activity of the administered compound.
