Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for nasal administration, and relates to a pharmaceutical composition useful for the prevention or treatment of dementia by having a high therapeutic effect and suppressing side effects.
- Dementia include cerebrovascular dementia that develops in cerebrovascular disease, and degenerative dementia in which abnormal proteins accumulate in the brain and develop.
- the latter includes Alzheimer's disease (AD) in which amyloid ⁇ (A ⁇ ) and tau accumulate, frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in which tau or TDP-43 accumulates, Lewy body dementia (DLB in which ⁇ -synuclein accumulates) )and so on.
- AD Alzheimer's disease
- a ⁇ amyloid ⁇
- FTD frontotemporal dementia
- LLB Lewy body dementia
- DLB Lewy body dementia
- AD Alzheimer's disease
- a ⁇ vaccines that remove A ⁇ from the brain, A ⁇ antibodies, etc.
- a ⁇ antibodies etc.
- rifampicin which is well known as an antibiotic, has been used as an oral medicine since its antibacterial action. Furthermore, rifampicin is also known to have a free radical removing action, and as one of its actions, involvement in suppression of A ⁇ aggregation reaction has been reported (see Non-Patent Document 1).
- a ⁇ -targeting drugs A ⁇ -producing enzyme inhibitors, A ⁇ vaccines, A ⁇ antibodies, etc.
- a ⁇ -targeting drugs A ⁇ -producing enzyme inhibitors, A ⁇ vaccines, A ⁇ antibodies, etc.
- the timing of administration is too late, apart from the problem of side effects It is considered.
- removing A ⁇ is thought to be meaningless before the onset of dementia, in which neurons start to die.
- the role of A ⁇ targeting drugs should be in prevention rather than treatment.
- tau aggregation inhibitor first entered into the clinical trial for the tau target drug does not show the cognitive function improvement effect in the clinical trial for AD. This result is also considered to indicate that even tau-targeted drugs are too late to be administered after onset of dementia.
- the present inventors have found that rifampicin suppresses oligomerization of A ⁇ , tau, and ⁇ synuclein in vitro, and orally administered to AD model mice that accumulate A ⁇ and FTD model mice that accumulate tau. We found that it suppresses the accumulation in the brain of oligomers and restores the cognitive function of mice. Therefore, the present inventor examined the repositioning of the oral drug rifampicin, which has been used as an antibiotic, to a drug for preventing dementia using this effect of rifampicin in order to put it into practical use.
- drug interaction refers to a phenomenon in which rifampicin induces cytochrome P450 (CYP) and P-glycoprotein involved in drug metabolism in hepatocytes, thereby reducing the effect of another drug taken simultaneously. .
- CYP cytochrome P450
- rifampicin when rifampicin is ingested orally, it is absorbed from the small intestine and transported to the liver via the portal vein. Usually, most of the absorbed drug is degraded and inactivated in the liver, and it is only a small part of the administered drug that enters the general circulation with activity maintained (this is called the first pass effect). Furthermore, there is a blood-brain barrier (BBB) that restricts substance exchange between blood and the brain, and only a small part (several percent to several tens percent) of rifampicin in the blood enters the brain. is there.
- BBB blood-brain barrier
- an object of the present invention is to provide rifampicin dosing technology capable of long-term administration by enhancing the direct transfer of rifampicin to the brain and suppressing the first pass to the liver.
- the inventors of the present invention have found that the above problems can be solved by nasal administration of rifampicin as a result of intensive studies.
- the present invention has been completed by further studies based on such findings.

Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is not only noninvasive in terms of administration mode, but also has high efficacy by enhancing direct transfer to the brain, and by suppressing the first pass to the liver. Low side effects are exhibited.
- Rifampicins reached the brain are, in the case of degenerative dementia, the formation or aggregation suppression of oligomers of dementia causing proteins such as amyloid ⁇ (A ⁇ ), tau, TDP-43, ⁇ -synuclein, or the formation or aggregation of dementia It leads to the disappearance of the oligomer of the causative protein. This results in delaying the onset of dementia or amelioration of symptoms of the onset dementia (eg, recovery of memory impairment due to restoration of synapses).
- rifampicins having reached the brain ameliorate cerebrovascular disease by neuroprotection through radical scavenging. This brings about the symptom improvement of dementia.

項6. 認知症患者に、有効量のリファンピシン、その誘導体、及びそれらの塩よりなる群から選択されるリファンピシン類を経鼻投与する工程を含む、認知症の治療方法。
項7. 認知症発症リスクの高い未発症者に、有効量のリファンピシン、その誘導体、及びそれらの塩よりなる群から選択されるリファンピシン類を経鼻投与する工程を含む、認知症の予防方法。
本発明の医薬組成物は、有効成分として、リファンピシン、その誘導体、及びそれらの塩よりなる群から選択されるリファンピシン類を含む。リファンピシン類は、変性性認知症であるアルツハイマー病、前頭側頭型認知症、レビー小体型認知症などの原因タンパク質であるアミロイドβ、タウ、αシヌクレインのオリゴマー形成を抑える作用がある。リファンピシン類は、ナフトハイドロキノンまたはナフトキノン構造を有し、この構造が、リファンピシンのフリーラジカルスカベンジャーとしての作用に寄与していると考えられる。
本発明の医薬組成物は、経鼻投与剤として調製されたものである。経鼻投与剤は、上述のリファンピシン類を有効成分として、それ自体公知の手段によって製剤化されたものであり、薬理学的に許容される基剤及び/又は添加物が適宜混合されていてよい。
本発明の医薬組成物は、経鼻投与用に調製されているため、経口投与よりも少ない用量で経口投与以上の薬効が出るとともに、肝障害の副作用も軽減することができる。したがって、抗生物質として経口投与される場合よりも少ない用量を、当該場合よりも長期間連続して投与することができる。
本発明の医薬組成物は、認知症の予防及び認知症の治療に用いることができる。好ましくは、認知症の予防に用いることができる。認知症には、変性性認知症及び脳血管性認知症が挙げられ、好ましくは変性性認知症が挙げられる。変性性認知症としては、アミロイドβ(Aβ)、タウ、TDP-43、αシヌクレインなどの認知症原因タンパク質が集積することにより発症する認知症が挙げられ、具体的には、アミロイドβ(Aβ)とタウが蓄積するアルツハイマー病(AD)、タウまたはTDP-43が蓄積する前頭側頭型認知症(FTD)、αシヌクレインが蓄積するレビー小体型認知症(DLB)等が挙げられ、好ましくはアルツハイマー病(AD)が挙げられる。
鼻腔上部の鼻粘膜には嗅上皮ニューロンの樹状突起が来ており、その細胞表面にある嗅覚受容体で得られたにおい情報は嗅上皮ニューロンの軸索を伝って脳の嗅球へ送られる。鼻粘膜と嗅上皮ニューロンの間には血液脳関門(BBB)は存在しない。嗅上皮ニューロンの軸索を束ねた神経束の周囲には脳脊髄液が存在するが、血液と脳脊髄液の間での物質交換を阻む血液脳脊髄液関門(BCSFB)もここには存在しない。したがって、本発明の医薬組成物の経鼻投与により、鼻粘膜に到達した有効成分リファンピシン類は、BBB及びBCSFBによる障害を受けることなく嗅上皮ニューロンや脳脊髄液に取り込まれ、脳内に移行することができる。
[実験例]
本実験例では、リファンピシンを含有する又は含有しない投与組成物を、表1に示す用量及び用法で、表1に示すマウスへ1ヶ月毎日投与した。
11カ月齢の雄のAPPOSKマウス(Tomiyama et al. J Neurosci. 2010; 30: 4845-56)を用意した。APPOSKマウスの体重は約30gである。APPOSKマウス60匹を、12匹ずつA-Eの5群に分けた。別途、同月齢の野生型マウス(non-Tg littermate)12匹用意した。なお、APPOSKマウスは、アミロイド前駆体タンパク質(APP)トランスジェニックマウス(アルツハイマー病モデル)であり、アミロイドβ(Aβ)タンパク質の蓄積を示す。
0.5w/v%のカルボキシメチルセルロース(CMC;Sigma-Aldrich, Carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt low viscosity, C5678)溶液にリファンピシン薬(RFP;Sigma-Aldrich, Rifampicin ≧97% (HPLC), powder、別名:3-(4-メチルピペラジニルイミノメチル)リファマイシンSV, リファマイシンAMP, リファンピン, R3501)を表1の比較例1、実施例1~2、参考例3に示す容量となる配合量で懸濁し、投与組成物を調製した。
経口投与はげっ歯類用経口ゾンデを用い、経鼻投与はピペットマン(ホワイトチップ)を用い、皮下投与は注射器を用い、すべて無麻酔下で行った。
投与終了後(12カ月齢)のマウスを行動試験に供し、マウスの認知機能に対するリファンピシンの効果を比較した。行動試験は、Umeda et al. Brain 2016; 139: 1568-86の方法に従ってモリス水迷路によるマウスの空間参照記憶を測定することにより行った。なお、行動試験に供したマウスは、投与期間中に死亡したマウスを除く、12匹(比較例1、実施例1、実施例2)、11匹(参考例1、参考例2、参考例3)である。
行動試験終了後のマウスから採血し、血清を分離して血清試料を調製した。血清試料の肝酵素AST(GOT)及びALT(GPT)の測定を行い、リファンピシンによる肝機能障害の程度を比較した。
行動試験終了後のマウスから脳を取り出し、免疫組織化学染色によって、Aβオリゴマー、シナプトフィジン、リン酸化タウに対するリファンピシンの効果を比較した。
RFPの経口投与(比較例1)、経鼻投与(実施例1、実施例2)、皮下投与(参考例3)のいずれでも、海馬のシナプトフィジンは回復傾向を示した。中でも、経口投与(比較例1)による効果は弱く、一方で、経鼻投与(実施例1、実施例2)、皮下投与(参考例3)によると、野生型マウス(参考例1)と同レベルにまで回復した。さらに、行動試験の結果と同様に、経鼻投与の場合、用量を5分の1(0.05 mg/day)に下げた場合(実施例2)であっても、その効果は経口投与(比較例1)よりも高いことを確認した。
