Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing cystic diseases that contains a compound that inhibits phosphate transporters as an active ingredient.
- the present invention also relates to a method of predicting the susceptibility of a patient with a cystic disease to a selective inhibitor of NaPi-IIb, and a method of treating or preventing a cystic disease.
- Cystic diseases include cystic kidney disease, cystic pancreatic disease, cystic liver disease, cystic lung disease, or pancreatic cyst.
- Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) which is one of the cystic diseases, is a hereditary disease in which many cysts are formed in the kidneys. Growth of the cyst causes an increase in kidney volume and a decrease in kidney function (Non-Patent Document 1). So far, tolvaptan has been the only drug used to treat PKD, but side effects (hepatotoxicity, polyuria, etc.) have been reported (Non-Patent Document 3). Therefore, it is desired to develop a new therapeutic agent for PKD that improves these problems.
- Phosphorus is an element that exists in all cells, accounts for 1% of body weight, and plays an essential role in maintaining life, including cellular energy metabolism.
- the phosphorus concentration in the blood is determined by absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and excretion from the kidneys, as well as bone formation and absorption, and is regulated to a constant concentration.
- Phosphorus absorption in the gastrointestinal tract is mainly carried out by the phosphate transporter NaPi-IIb (SLC34A2) (Non-Patent Documents 4 and 5).
- Phosphorus in the blood is filtered in the glomerulus of the kidney, and the required amount is reabsorbed in the renal tubule mainly by NaPi-IIa (SLC34A1) and NaPi-IIc (SLC34A3) (Non-patent Documents 4 and 6).
- the kidneys play a very important role in regulating phosphorus in the body, and in patients with end-stage renal disease and dialysis patients with decreased kidney function, phosphorus accumulates in the body, resulting in an increase in blood phosphorus concentration, or hyperphosphatemia. disease is caused.
