Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a composition and a method for weight maintenance for individuals with a past history of obesity or for those at risk at becoming obese.
  • the first corresponds to the dietary consumption of fats (mostly triglycerides), which after a brief processing in the liver are integrated into lipoproteins and transported through the blood stream to the various sites of deposition.
  • the main physiological task of this process is to clear excess of serum lipids and store them in the fat tissue (i.e. adipose tissue) as energy reservoir.
  • the second physiological mechanism corresponds to conversion of carbohydrate metabolites to fatty acids (i.e. lipogenesis) in the liver.
  • the synthesized fatty acids then integrate into triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol esters and join the parallel dietary lipids in their transport by blood lipoproteins.
  • the lipogenesis mechanism involves a complicated enzymatic network where acetyl-CoA carboxylase and fatty acid synthetase are the rate determining enzymes. It is of great importance that both enzymes are inhibited by free fatty acids and their CoA conjugates thus providing a negative feedback loop between the lipid consumption pathway and the lipogenesis machinery. Thus, upon excess fat consumption the relatively high level of released free fatty acids can transiently shut-off the lipogenesis channel.
  • GAD2 GAD2
  • PPAR- ⁇ membranal peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- alpha
  • the presently available drugs may be divided into three groups: noradrenergic, serotonergic and lipid absorption inhibitors.
  • the first two classes are ⁇ -phenethylaminic derivatives, acting centrally by inhibiting the reuptake of the neurotransmitters dopamine, noradrenaline and serotonin. This mode of action suppresses appetite, promotes satiety and induces a peripheral thermogenic effect.
  • this mechanism is also responsible for cardiovascular adverse events, which were serious enough to cause the withdrawal from the market of two compounds: fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine, due to induction of valvulopathy.
  • the most effective compound in this series was a compound having a C16 chain, and abbreviated MEDICA 16.
  • the compound was found not only to reduce the net synthesis of triglycerides but also to increase their burning as immediate energy source and to reduce the biosynthesis of cholesterol esters. This induced a reduction in the level of blood LDL and VLDL through a marked decrease in apolipoprotein C-III, with a parallel increase in HDL.
  • the prevention of catabolism has endowed this highly stable compound with long term toxic effects due to accumulation and deposition on essential body tissues like blood vessels. This characteristic has prevented, so far, the development of MEDICA 16 into an ethical drug.
  • US Patent No. 5,602,164 to Shinitzky et al discloses a method for treatment of obesity which involves administering to an obese individual an effective amount of an ⁇ , ⁇ dicarboxylic acid derivative.
  • the present invention is based on the surprising finding that linear ⁇ , ⁇ dicarboxylic acids derivatives such as sebacoyl bis sarcosine (SBS) are effective not only in stopping weight gain but most importantly may be used as agents for maintaining a subject's weight.
  • SBS sebacoyl bis sarcosine
  • This invention is further based on the observation that the exhibited prophylactic activity does not require special dietary behavior. This allows the subject to return to normal dietary behavior (namely, not such which to an average person would seem abnormal in nature) without fearing a rebound effect, e.g. return to abnormal eating regimen.
  • the present invention provides a method for weight maintenance in a subject, comprising administering to said subject an effective amount of sebacoyl bis- sarcosine (SBS).
  • SBS sebacoyl bis- sarcosine
  • the subject has a history of obesity. In another embodiment, the subject has a risk of becoming obese.
  • the present invention further provides a method for weight maintenance in a subject with a history of obesity or having a risk of becoming obese, comprising repeatedly administering to said subject an effective amount of sebacoyl bis-sarcosine (SBS).
  • SBS sebacoyl bis-sarcosine

  • an association between the method of the present application and an on-going weight-loss modality e.g. a low calorie diet
  • an on-going weight-loss modality e.g. a low calorie diet
  • the type of association namely the nature of the accompanying treatment or modality, e.g. dietary therapies, physical activity and behavior therapy, that would be administered or executed simultaneously with the method of the present invention, may differ based on the individual's age, health condition, psychological state, history of obesity, degree of risk of returning to the obese state and other factors which a medical personnel familiar with the individual will consider.
  • the methods of the present invention may be used by individuals having a history of obesity or who are at risk at being obese, who are at the time of treatment considered lean or who are at the time of treatment pleased with their weight.
  • the methods of the present invention may also be used by such individuals who are naturally lean, or who have achieved a goal of weight loss, being it after a dietary regimen or as a result of other personal circumstances and who wish to maintain that weight without needing to adhere to strict modalities of weight loss therapy.
  • the invention further provides a method for weight maintenance in a subject, comprising repeatedly administering to said subject an effective amount of sebacoyl bis- sarcosine (SBS), wherein said administration does not cause the subject to reduce food consumption, i.e. the subject substantially continues to eat according to his everyday habits.

  • a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, oral multiple-dose escalation trial was performed in 18 male human healthy volunteers. The purpose was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SBS. This trial was performed after a preliminary study, in which single oral doses of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.Og of SBS were administered to 4 groups of 8 male volunteers in each group, showing no deleterious effects on vital signs, 12-lead ECG and laboratory safety tests. In this stuffy, oral doses of 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 grams were administered during 7 consecutive days to 3 groups of 6 volunteers each, one participant in each group being assigned randomly to placebo. Thus, 18 subjects were included, 16 of which concluded the study, two having been withdrawn due to adverse events (AE) not related to SBS.
