Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for predicting options for a therapeutic drug for depression, and more particularly, to a method for predicting objective options for a therapeutic drug for depression objectively and easily.
- Diagnosis of mental illness such as depression is based on international statistical classification of diseases and related health problems by the World Health Organization (International Statistical of Diseases and Related Health Problems: ICD) and diagnosis of mental disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association And a statistical manual (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders: DSM).
- ICD International Statistical of Diseases and Related Health Problems
- DSM Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
- ICD is a classification published by the World Health Organization as an international statistical standard for causes of death and diseases. It is used for international comparison of information on causes of death and disease statistics, and for management of medical records at medical institutions.
- DSM presents a common language and standard criteria for classification of mental disorders.
- the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in DSM-IV-TR are: (1) Depressive mood, (2) Significant decrease in interest and joy, (3) Fatigue and decreased energy, (4) Anorexia and excessive appetite, (5) Insomnia and excessive sleep, (6) Valuelessness and guilt, (7) Decreased concentration and thoughts, (8) Psychomotor agitation and psychomotor restraint, (9) Suicidal ideation and suicide attempt Among these 9 symptoms, 5 or more are present during 2 weeks, and at least (1) or (2) of these symptoms are present.
- Patients with major depressive disorder have symptoms (1) only, symptoms (2) only, symptoms (1) and (2) among (1) and (2) And is considered a heterogeneous collection of patients.
- DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders have clearer criteria than those of DSM-III to resolve diagnostic discrepancies. Nonetheless, diagnostic criteria have problems such as having no biological indicators, not directly linked to treatment, and being expanded and increasing patients more than necessary. Although DSM is useful for epidemiological studies, it has not been created to accurately diagnose individual patients.
- blood phosphoethanolamine can be a biomarker of depression (Patent Document 1). Specifically, if the subject's blood phosphoethanolamine concentration is lower than the healthy subject's blood phosphoethanolamine concentration, it is determined that the subject suffers from depression. Depression with a decrease in phosphoethanolamine as an indicator can be said to be a highly uniform population characterized by biological indicators. Depression diagnosed with low phosphoethanolamine concentrations can objectively define mental illness.
- the therapeutic agent for depression is based on its function, serotonin / noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), noradrenaline / serotoninergic antidepressant (NaSSA), tricyclic antagonist It is roughly divided into a depressant and a tetracyclic antidepressant.
- SNRI serotonin / noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor
- SSRI selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
- NaSSA noradrenaline / serotoninergic antidepressant
- tricyclic antagonist It is roughly divided into a depressant and a tetracyclic antidepressant.
- SNRI is a drug that improves depressive symptoms by inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin and noradrenaline at the synapse.
- Serotonin in the synaptic cleft is reuptaked by the serotonin transporter.
- Noradrenaline is reuptaked by the noradrenaline transporter.
- SNRI acts on the serotonin transporter and noradrenaline transporter, inhibits reuptake of serotonin and noradrenaline in the synaptic cleft, and maintains the serotonin and noradrenaline concentration in the synaptic cleft to some extent.
- the stimulating nerve is stimulated, and the effect of improving motivation and mood is exhibited.
- SSRI is a drug that improves anxiety by inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin at the synapse. Serotonin released from synaptic neurons into the synaptic cleft acts on serotonin receptors. Serotonin accumulated in the synaptic cleft is re-uptaked by the serotonin transporter. There is a monoamine hypothesis that when depressed, the concentration of serotonin in the synaptic cleft decreases, making it difficult for serotonin to act on serotonin receptors.
- SSRI selectively acts on a serotonin transporter that re-uptakes serotonin, inhibits re-uptake of serotonin, and maintains a high level of serotonin in the synaptic cleft.
- SSRI is particularly effective in calming anxiety and fear.
- NaSSA binds to a serotonin receptor that does not have a function of improving anxiety as an antagonist, and has an effect of making serotonin easily bind to a receptor having a function of improving anxiety.
- NaSSA binds to a noradrenaline receptor that suppresses noradrenaline release as an antagonist, inhibits noradrenaline release inhibition, and maintains serotonin / noradrenaline concentration in the synaptic cleft to some extent.
- Tricyclic antidepressants have the effect of inhibiting serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake and maintaining serotonin and noradrenaline concentrations in the synaptic cleft to some extent.
- Tetracyclic antidepressants selectively inhibit noradrenaline reuptake and do not inhibit serotonin reuptake. Maintain a high level of noradrenaline in the synaptic cleft.

- SSRI or SNRI shown in Table 3 was administered to the above patients as a treatment for depression.
- the blood PEA concentration after administration was measured by the same procedure as before administration.
- the dosing period was approximately 0.5-7 months, depending on the patient. The results are shown in Table 3.
- the blood PEA concentration before administration of all patients administered SNRI was 1.18 ⁇ M (average value).
- the blood PEA concentration after administration increased to 1.55 ⁇ M.
- the p-value of the t-test was 0.002, and a significant difference was recognized with a risk rate of 5%. It is observed that the patient is in the acute phase of depression before SNRI administration and the patient has entered a partial remission phase of depression after the administration period.
- the PEA concentration in the blood before administration of the entire patient administered SSRI was 1.34 ⁇ M (average value).
- the blood PEA concentration after administration was 1.23 ⁇ M.
- the p-value of t-test was 0.39, and no significant difference was observed at a 5% risk rate. It is noted that the patient is in the acute phase of depression prior to SSRI administration and is still in the acute phase of depression after dosing for the administration period.
- SNRI which is a kind of antidepressant
- SNRI is administered to a depression patient who uses a decrease in blood PEA concentration as an index, particularly a depression patient whose blood PEA concentration before medication is 1.5 ⁇ M or less.
- the blood PEA concentration clearly increases.
- SNRI is effective in increasing the blood PEA concentration in patients with depression using a decrease in blood PEA concentration as an index.
- an SSRI which is a kind of antidepressant
- Blood PEA levels do not increase.
- SSRI is not effective in terms of increasing the blood PEA concentration in patients. It is suggested that SNRI administration is more effective than SSRI for the treatment of depression with a decrease in blood PEA concentration as an index.
- Example 2 Measurement of blood PEA concentration at the time of continuous dosing in depressed patients Among the patients who were administered the therapeutic agent for depression in Example 1, patients who were continuously administered after the period of Example 1 We conducted a survey. Nine patients received continuous SNRI medication. On the other hand, the number of patients who received SSRI continuous medication was 5. The patient's continuous dosing period (including the dosing period of Example 1) was approximately 6-24 months, depending on the patient. The blood PEA concentration during and after the continuous dosing of these patients was measured by the same procedure as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 4.
- the PEA concentration before administration of all patients administered SNRI was 1.28 ⁇ M (average value).
- the PEA concentration increased consistently from the continuous administration, reaching 1.88 ⁇ M after the continuous administration.
- the p value of the t test was 0.0005, and a significant difference was recognized at a risk rate of 5%. It can be seen that the patient is in the acute phase of depression before SNRI administration and the patient has entered a phase of remission of depression after dosing for the administration period.
- SSRI which is a kind of antidepressant
- SSRI is continuously administered to patients with depression whose decrease in blood PEA concentration is an indicator, particularly depression patients whose blood PEA concentration before medication is 1.5 ⁇ M or less
- the blood PEA concentration increased after administration, but no significant difference was found. Even if the anxiety and fear of depression patients are sedated, SSRI is not effective in terms of increasing the blood PEA concentration in patients.
- Example 3 Measurement of blood PEA concentration in patients with depression by mixed dosing of SNRI and SSRI The patients who were mixed and administered SNRI and SSRI with the depression treatment were investigated. The number of patients who received SNRI + SNRI was three. Subsequently, the number of patients receiving SNRI + SSRI was four. The number of patients who received SSRI + SSRI was one. The dosing period was approximately 2-8 months, depending on the patient. The blood PEA concentration before and after dosing of these patients was measured by the same procedure as in Example 1. The results are shown in Table 5.
- the average PEA concentration before administration of all patients administered SNRI + SNRI was 1.20 ⁇ M (average value).
- the blood PEA concentration increased to 1.44 ⁇ M after administration.
- the blood PEA concentration before administration of all patients administered SNRI + SSRI was 1.54 ⁇ M (average value), but the blood PEA concentration after administration decreased to 1.44 ⁇ M.
- the blood PEA concentration before administration of patients administered SSRI + SSRI was 2.05 ⁇ M (average value), but the blood PEA concentration after administration was clearly reduced to 1.46 ⁇ M. From the above results, it can be seen that the blood PEA concentration is clearly increased by changing the mixed dosage from SSRI + SSRI ⁇ SNRI + SSRI ⁇ SNRI + SNRI.
- blood PEA concentration was significantly increased by administering SNRI rather than SSRI to patients with depression whose blood PEA concentration was 1.5 ⁇ M or less.
- the administration of SNRI is more effective than SSRI in the treatment of depression patients with a decrease in blood PEA concentration as an index, particularly depression patients whose blood PEA concentration before administration is 1.5 ⁇ M or less. It became clear.
