Definitions

  • the invention features a method for treating chronic pain using MEK inhibitors.
  • Chronic pain includes neuropathic pain, and chronic inflammatory pain.
  • neuropathic pain may be, for example, a deep ache, a burning sensation, or hypersensitivity to touch.
  • Diseases or conditions associated with neuropathic pain include, without limitation, diabetic neuropathy, causalgia, plexus avulsion, neuroma, vasculitis, crush injury, viral infections (e.g., herpes virus infection or HIV), constriction injury, tissue injury, nerve injury from the periphery to the central nervous system, limb amputation, hypothyroidism, uremia, chronic alcoholism, post-operative pain, arthritis, back pain, and vitamin deficiencies.
  • Infections such as herpes zoster (shingles) can cause nerve inflammation and produce postherpetic neuralgia, a chronic burning localized to the area of viral infection.
  • Hyperalgesia is when an already noxious stimulus becomes more painful, and allodynia, when a previously non-noxious stimulus becomes painful (such as contact of clothing or a breeze).
  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is accompanied by swelling and sweating or changes in local blood flow, tissue atrophy, or osteoporosis.
  • Causalgia including severe burning pain and swelling, sweating, and changes in blood flow, may follow an injury or disease of a major nerve such as the sciatic nerve.
  • neuropathic pain may also be induced by cancer or chemotherapy.
  • Neuropathic pain is currently treated with anticonvulsants such as carbamazepine and antidepressants such as amitryptaline.
  • NSAIDS and opioids generally have little effect (Fields et al 1994 Textbook of Pain p 991- 996 (pub: Churchill Livingstone), James & Page 1994 J.Am. Pediatr. Med.Assoc, 8: 439-447, Galer, 1995 Neurology 45 S 17-S25.
  • Neuropathic conditions that have been treated with gabapentin include: postherpetic neuralgia, postpoliomyelitis, CPRM, HIV-related neuropathy, trigeminal neuralgia, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD).
  • the generally weak efficacy of antiinflammatory agents suggests that the mechanism for chronic pain is separate from hyperalgesia.
  • the invention features a method for treating chronic pain, which method includes the step of administering a composition including a MEK inhibitor to a patient in need of such treatment.
  • Chronic pain includes neuropathic pain, idiopathic pain, and pain associated with vitamin deficiencies, uremia, hypothyroidism post-operative pain, arthritis, back pain, and chronic alcoholism.
  • the invention also features compositions as disclosed, formulated for the treatment of chronic pain.
  • Such a composition may include one or more MEK inhibitor compounds having a structure disclosed in patent application PCT/US99/30416, international filing date December 21 , 1999.

  • the compounds disclosed herein are pharmaceutically active, for example, they inhibit MEK.
  • MEK enzymes are dual specificity kinases involved in, for example, immunomodulation, inflammation, and proliferative diseases such as cancer and restenosis.
  • Proliferative diseases are caused by a defect in the intracellular signaling system, or the signal transduction mechanism of certain proteins.
  • Defects include a change either in the intrinsic activity or in the cellular concentration of one or more signaling proteins in the signaling cascade .
  • the cell may produce a growth factor that binds to its own receptors, resulting in an autocrine loop, which continually stimulates proliferation. Mutations or overexpression of intracellular signaling proteins can lead to spurious mitogenic signals within the cell. Some of the most common mutations occur in genes encoding the protein known as Ras, a G-protein that is activated when bound to GTP, and inactivated when bound to GDP.
  • Ras leads in turn to the activation of a cascade of serine/threonine kinases.
  • One of the groups of kinases known to require an active Ras-GTP for its own activation is the Raf family. These in turn activate MEK (e.g., MEK-
  • MEK e.g., MEK-
  • MAP kinase e.g., MEK-
  • Activation of MAP kinase by mitogens appears to be essential for proliferation; constitutive activation of this kinase is sufficient to induce cellular transformation.
  • Blockade of downstream Ras signaling for example by use of a dominant negative Raf-1 protein, can completely inhibit mitogenesis, whether induced from cell surface receptors or from oncogenic Ras mutants.
  • Ras is not itself a protein kinase, it participates in the activation of Raf and other kinases, most likely through a phosphorylation mechanism.
  • Raf and other kinases phosphorylate MEK on two closely adjacent serine residues, s218 anc
  • MEK in turn phosphorylates MAP kinase on both a tyrosine, ⁇ 185 anc
  • MAP kinase This double phosphorylation activates MAP kinase at least 100-fold. Activated MAP kinase can then catalyze the phosphorylation of a large number of proteins, including several transcription factors and other kinases. Many of these MAP kinase phosphorylations are mitogenically activating for the target protein, such as a kinase, a transcription factor, or another cellular protein. In addition to Raf-1 and MEKK, other kinases activate MEK, and MEK itself appears to be a signal integrating kinase. Current understanding is that MEK is highly specific for the phosphorylation of MAP kinase.
  • MEK does not phosphorylate peptides based on the MAP kinase phosphorylation sequence, or even phosphorylate denatured MAP kinase.
  • MEK also appears to associate strongly with MAP kinase prior to phosphorylating it, suggesting that phosphorylation of MAP kinase by MEK may require a prior strong interaction between the two proteins.
  • the effect of the MEK inhibitor PD 198306 has been investigated in two animal models of neuropathic pain by assessing static allodynia with von Frey hairs.
  • Oral administration of PD 198306 (3-30mg/kg) had no effect in the model of chronic constriction injury of the sciatic nerve (CCI). However, after repeated administration (3 doses over two days) it had a transient effect in the diabetic neuropathy model (streptozocin). This may be due to disorders of the blood- brain barrier induced by the diabetic condition in these animals, thus allowing central action of the compound.
  • Intrathecal administration of PD 198306 (1- 30 ⁇ g) dose-dependently blocked static allodynia in both the streptozocin and the CCI models of neuropathic pain, with minimum effective doses (MED) of 3 and 10 ⁇ g respectively. The highest dose used (30 ⁇ g) totally blocked the maintenance of static allodynia, for up to 1h.
  • MED minimum effective doses
  • MEK inhibitors as potential new therapeutic tools for chronic pain.
  • the study of potential side-effects, especially related to memory, of future brain-penetrant MEK inhibitors will indicate the therapeutic window for this novel class of compounds in the treatment of pain.

Streptozocin (Aldrich, UK) was dissolved in 0.9% w/v NaCl and administered intraperitoneally. Drug administrations were made in a volume of 1 ml/kg.
  • Diabetes was induced in rats by a single i.p. injection of streptozocin (50mg/kg) as described previously (Courteix et al., 1993).
  • PD 198306 and pregabalin were administered intrathecally in a volume of 10 ⁇ l using a 100 ⁇ l Hamilton syringe by exposing the spine of the rats under brief isoflurane anaesthesia. Injections were made into the intrathecal space between lumbar region 5-6 with a 10 mm long 27 gauge needle. Penetrations were judged successful if there was a tail flick response. The wound was sealed with an autoclip and rats appeared fully awake within 2-3 min following injection.
  • Static allodynia was assessed with von Frey hairs, before (baseline, BL) and 0.5h, 1 h and 2h after intrathecal or intraplantar administration of PD 198306 (1-30 ⁇ g, i.t), vehicle (cremophor:ethanol:water, 1 :1 :8) or pregabalin (10 ⁇ g, i.t).
  • static allodynia was assessed with von Frey hairs, before (baseline, BL) and 1h after oral administration of PD 198306 (3-30mg/kg, p.o.), vehicle (cremophor:ethanol:water, 1 :1 :8) or pregabalin (30mg/kg, p.o.).
  • Static allodynia was assessed before and 1 h after the morning administration. In the afternoon static allodynia was assessed before, 1h, 2h and 3h after administration for streptozocin treated animals. CCI animals were assessed before, 1 h and 2h after administration
  • PD 198306 and pregabalin were synthesised at Parke-Davis (Ann Arbor, Ml, USA).
  • PD 198306 was suspended in cremophor:ethanol:water (1 :1 :8) vehicle.
  • Pregabalin was dissolved in water. Both compounds were administered orally, intrathecally or intraplantar in volumes of 1 ml/kg, 10 ⁇ l and 100 ⁇ l respectively.
  • Streptozocin (Aldrich, UK) was dissolved in 0.9% w/v NaCl and administered intraperitoneally in a volume of 1 ml/kg.
  • the animals and methods for developing chronic constriction injury in the rat, injecting test compounds, and evaluation of static allodynia were according to Example 2 above.
  • PD219622, PD297447, PD 184352, PD 254552 and pregabalin were administered intrathecally at doses of 30 ⁇ g for all PD compounds and 100 ⁇ g for pregabalin.
  • Static allodynia was assessed with von Frey hairs, before (baseline, BL) and 0.5h, 1h and 2h after intrathecal administration of the compounds
  • PD297447, PD219622, PD 254552, PD 184352 (CI-1040), and pregabalin were synthesised at Parke-Davis (Ann Arbor, Ml, USA).
  • PD297447, PD219622, PD 254552, PD 184352 (CI-1040), and pregabalin were synthesised at Parke-Davis (Ann Arbor, Ml, USA).
  • PD219622, PD 254552 and PD 184352 were suspended in cremophor:ethanol:water (1 :1 :8) vehicle.
  • Pregabalin was dissolved in water. All compounds were administered intrathecally in a 10 ⁇ l volume.
  • the antiallodynic effect was only evident for 30min post-injection and thus, shorter than the one observed for pregabalin (100 ⁇ g). The magnitude of the effect was similar for 30 ⁇ g of PD 184352 and 100 ⁇ g of pregabalin.
  • Phenyl-H 6.42-6.46(1 H, m, Phenyl-H); 5.02(2H, s, -NH 2 ), 2.20(3H, s, CH 3 ).
