Definitions
- the invention is directed to methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising metformin R-(+) lipoate [MR-(+) LA], and an antihyperlipidemic agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate and prodrug derivative thereof.
- the invention further relates to methods of using those pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of Type 2 diabetic hyperglycemia and diabetic complications.
- Metabolic syndrome is intricately intertwined with diabetes, which has become pandemic. Clinical presentation of this syndrome is patient-dependent and the co-morbidities in patients with diabetes (chronic hyperglycemia) include high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia. The long-term consequences of these co-morbidities include diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic cardiomyopathy and cataracts. Metformin R-(+) lipoate has been described and claimed as novel treatment for control of chronic hyperglycemia in a pending application. Thus, a need exists in the art for a combination therapy of metformin R-(+)-lipoate and antihyperlipidemic agents to treat diabetes and diabetic complications in diabetic patients. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
- the disclosure provides for combinations of metformin R-(+) lipoate and antihyperlipidemic agents to treat diabetes and hyperlipidemia exacerbated diabetic complications in diabetic patients.
- the disclosure provides for methods, pharmaceutical compositions and kits comprising MR-(+) LA, and an antihyperlipidemic agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate and prodrug derivative thereof.
- the disclosure further provides for methods of using such pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, myocardial infarction, cataracts and diabetic cardiomyopathy.
- antihyperlipidemic agents may include HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), fibric acid derivatives, CETP inhibitors, bile acid sequestrants and nicotinic acid (niacin) in combination with flushing inhibiting agent.
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor refers to a compound that competitively blocks the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-co-enzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase.
- HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors interfere with cholesterol formation (enzyme catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate). As a result, they decrease total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), apolipoprotein B (a membrane transport complex for LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and plasma triglycerides.
- LDL-C low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
- VLDL very low-density lipoprotein
- fibric acid derivatives refers to compounds that involve activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR-) 1 receptor in the liver and the stimulation of lipoprotein lipase and/or hepatic lipase activity, resulting in enhanced lipoprotein catabolism.
- PPAR- peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha
- bile acid sequestrants refers to polymeric compounds.
- the bile acid sequestrants act as anion exchange resins binding bile acids in the lumen of the small intestine; bile acid sequestrants are able to interrupt the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. This results in an increased hepatic synthesis of bile acids from cholesterol because bile acids suppress the microsomal hydroxylase that catalyzes the rate-determining step in the conversion of cholesterol to bile acids. Due to this depletion of the hepatic pool of cholesterol, there is an increase in the activity of the LDL receptor in the liver. This stimulates the removal of LDL from plasma, resulting in a decrease in the concentration of LDL cholesterol.
- bile acid sequestrants see, for example, Prog. Polym. ScL 24:485 (1999) and references cited therein.
- CETP inhibitor refers to a compound which catalyses the transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to apolipoprotein B containing lipoproteins in exchange for triglyceride and thereby plays a major role in lipoprotein metabolism.
- CETP inhibitors see, for example, Curr. Opin. Pharmacol. 6:162 (2006) and references cited therein.
- cholesterol absorption inhibitors refers to a compound that inhibits the absorption of biliary and dietary cholesterol from the small intestine without affecting the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, triglycerides, or bile acids.
- cholesterol absorption inhibitors see, for example, Nutr. Metab. Cardiovasc. Dis. ,13:42 (2004) and references cited therein.
- nicotinic acid refers to a compound which has the ability to modulate triglyceride lipolysis in the adipose tissue by reducing the concentrations of cAMP levels in adipose tissue and also modulating the synthesis of triglycerides and secretion of VLDL particles by liver.
- flush refers to manifestations due to vasodilation of cutaneous blood vessels resulting in increased blood flow, principally in the face, neck and chest.
- the niacin-flush is thought to be mediated via the prostaglandin prostacyclin.
- Histamine may also play a role in the niacin-flush. Flushing is the adverse reaction first observed after intake of a large dose of nicotinic acid, and the most bothersome one. The symptoms of flushing include a burning, tingling and itching sensation.
- any HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors or) any fabric acid derivatives (or) any CETP inhibitors (or) any bile acid sequestrants (or) nicotinic acid individually or in a pharmaceutically acceptable combination with any flushing inhibiting agent may be employed.

- the perfusion apparatus is tightly temperature- controlled, with heated baths being used for the perfusate and for the water jacketing around the perfusion tubing to maintain heart temperature at 37 ⁇ 0.5° C. under all conditions.
- the oxygenated perfusate in the room temperature reservoir is passed through 25 ft. of thin- walled silicone tubing surrounded by distilled water at 37° C saturated with 95% oxygen.
- the perfusate then enters the waterjacketed (37° C) tubing leading to the heart through a water jacketed bubble trap. This preparation provides excellent oxygenation that routinely has been stable for 3-4 hours.
- Model for Zero-flow Ischemia This example describes a procedure used for study of zero-flow ischemia in diabetic control, diabetic treated, non-diabetic treated and control isolated hearts.
- Diabetic control (DC) diabetic treated (DZ) normal ⁇ control and normal treated (CZ) hearts are subjected to 20 min. of normoxic perfusion followed by 20 min. of zero-flow ischemia where the perfusate flow is completely shut off, followed by 60 min. of reperfusion. Hearts are treated with 1 ⁇ M metformin lipoate.
- This example describes a procedure used for study of low- flow ischemia in diabetic controls, diabetic treated, non-diabetic treated and non-diabetic control isolated hearts.
- Diabetic control hearts are subjected to 20 min. of normoxic perfusion at a flow rate of 12.5 mL/min. followed by 30 minutes of low-flow ischemia where the perfusate flow is slowed down to 1.25 mL/min, that is about 10% of normal perfusion, followed by 30 min. of reperfusion at a normal flow rate (12.5 mL/min).
- metformin lipoate treated diabetic or non-diabetic groups DZ or CZ
- hearts are subjected to 10 min. of normoxic perfusion (flow rate 12.5 mL/min) with normal Krebs- Henseleit buffer and 10 min. of normoxic perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer containing 1 ⁇ M metformin lipoate.
- the hearts are subjected to 30 min. of low- flow ischemia (flow rate 1.25 mL/min) and 30 minutes of reperfusion at normal flow rate (12.5 mL/min).
