Description

DESCRIPTION
THERAPEUTIC OR PROPHYLACTIC AGENT FOR BILIARY TRACT
DISEASES
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]
The present invention relates to a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for a biliary- tract disease(s) comprising as an effective component a morphinan derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salt thereof BACKGROUND ART
[0002]
The biliary tract disease is a collective tem' for digestive diseases that occur in the gallbladder, bile duct, pancreas or pancreatic duct. A known example of the cause of occurrence of a biliary tract disease is increased biliary tract pressure due to contraction of sphincter of Oddi in the duodenal papilla, which is the furthest downstream of the biliary tract and corresponds to the distal part of the bile duct formed by confluence of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. Known examples of the biliary tract disease caused by contraction of sphincter of Oddi include biliary obstruction, gallbladder disorder, cholelithiasis, pancreatitis, biliary 2 O dyskinesia, cholangitis and cholecystitis. Therefore, drugs that inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi are known to be useful as therapeutic agents for biliary-tract diseases caused by contraction of sphincter of Oddi.
[0003]
Further, examples of biliary tract diseases which are not caused by contraction 2 5 of sphincter of Oddi but may be exacerbated by contraction of sphincter of Oddi include primary biliary cirrhosis (which may hereinafter be referred to as PBC).
PBC is a disease wherein interlobular bile ducts, which are bile ducts positioned upstream of the common bile duct and inside the liver, are destroyed and bile statis occurs. Obstruction of the common bile duct is known to cause exacerbation of PBC (Non-patent Document 1). Therefore, it is thought that drugs that inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi may ameliorate obstruction of the common bile duct and hence inhibit exacerbation of PBC.
[0004]
Morphinan derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof as effective components of the present invention (which may hereinafter be referred to as "compounds of the present invention-), with their le opioid receptor 0 agonist activity, has been disclosed so far for uses as analgesics and diuretics (Patent Document 1).
Further, they have already been disclosed also for uses in antitussives (Patent Document 2). brain cell protecting agents (Patent Document 3). antipruritics (Patent Document 4), therapeutic agents for hyponatremia (Patent Document 5), ORL-1 1 5 receptor antagonists (Patent Document 6), therapeutic agents for neuropathic pain (Patent Document 7), antipruritics for cornea and conjunctiva (Patent Document 8).
therapeutic agents for psychoneurotic disorders (Patent Document 9), therapeutic agents for drug dependence (Patent Doctunent 10). therapeutic agents for sepsis (Patent Document 11), therapeutic agents for itching due to multiple sclerosis (Patent C Document 12), therapeutic agents for schi7ophrenia (Patent Document 13) and therapeutic agents for dy-skinesia (Patent Document 14). However, 110 therapeutic or prophylactic effect on biliary- tract diseases has been disclosed yet.
[0005]
Examples of drugs which have actions to inhibit contraction of sphincter of 2 3 Oddi and are currently used as therapeutic agents for biliary tract diseases include those having actions to promote uptake of Ca2- into intracellular Ca-store sites, such as trepibutone; those having actions to inhibit binding of Ca2- in the extracellular fluid to contractile proteins, such as hy-mecromone; those having actions to inhibit catechol-0-methy-ltransferase (which may hereinafter be referred to as "COMT"), and antiserotonin actions, such as flopropione; those having antimuscarinic actions, such as tiquizium; those having atropine-like actions and papaverine-like actions, such as oxapium; those having trypsin- and kallikrein-inhibition actions although the action mechanism for inhibition of contraction of sphincter of Oddi is unknown, such as gabexate. However, these are drugs having neither structural similarity to the compounds of the present invention nor the K opioid receptor agonist activity.
[0006]
Further, since opioids are known to cause the contractuion of the sphincter of Oddi and may therefore exacerbate biliary tract diseases, it is known that use of opioids for patients suffering from biliary- tract diseases requires caution.
Opioids have been reported as follows.
[0007]
It is described that since morphine, which has a morphinan skeleton similarly to the compounds of the present invention but is different from the compounds of the present invention in view of the fact that it is a p. opioid receptor agonist, may cause biliary tract spasm in patients suffering from a gallbladder disorder or cholelithiasis, it needs to be carefully administered to these patients (Non-patent Document 2).
[0008]
Further, it is described that since oxy-codone, which is ail opioid receptor agonist having a morphinan skeleton, may cause contraction of sphincter of Oddi and therefore exacerbate symptoms in patients suffering from a gallbladder disorder, cholelithiasis or pancreatitis, it needs to be carefully administered to these patients 2 5 (Non-patent Document 3). Similarly, it is described that since buprenorphine, which is all opioid receptor partial agonist having a morphinan skeleton, causes contraction of sphincter of Oddi in animal experiments (with dogs) at high doses (at not less than 0.1 mg/kg i.v.), it needs to be carefully administered to patients suffering from a biliary tract disease (Non-patent Document 4). Further, it is described that since tramadol, which is all opioid receptor agonist having no morphinan skeleton, causes contraction of sphincter of Oddi in animal experiments at high doses, it needs to be carefully administered to patients suffering from a biliary tract disease (Non-patent Document 5). Similarly, it is described that since pentazocine, which is a II opioid receptor partial agonist having no morphinan skeleton, may cause contraction of sphincter of Oddi at high doses, it needs to be carefully administered to patients suffering from a binary tract disease (Non-patent O Document 6).
[00091 It is described that k opioid receptor agonists having no morphinan skeleton are useful as therapeutic agents for gastrointestinal dysfunction, and examples of the gasllointestinal dysfunction include contraction of sphincter of Oddi (Patent _ 5 Documents 15 to 18). However, there is no description on inhibition of contraction of sphincter of Oddi.
[0010]
Further, in terms of nalbuphine, which is known to have a morphinan skeleton and to have a K opioid receptor agonist activity and a opioid receptor pcutial agonist 2 2 activity, there are a report suggesting that it does not exert any action on contraction of sphincter of Oddi (Non-patent Document 7) and a report showing that it increases the inner pressure of biliary tract by 6% although the action is not statistically significant (Non-patent Document 8). However, there is no report suggesting that nalbuphine inhibits contraction of sphincter of Oddi. Further, since butorphanol, 2 5 which is classified into a x opioid receptor agonist, increased the inner pressure of biliary tract by 12% and this action was statistically significant (Non-patent Docimient 8), it has been shown to have contraction of sphincter of Oddi.
Further, it is described that since epta7ocine, which is known to have no morphinan skeleton but act as a k agonist on opioid receptors, shows an action to cause contraction of sphincter of Oddi at high doses in animal experiments, it needs to be carefully administered to patients suffering from a biliary tract disease (Non-patent Document 5 9).
[0011]
Leucine enkephalin and methionine enkephalin, which are endogenous 6 opioid receptor agonist peptides, are reported to cause transient contraction of sphincter of Oddi, followed by showing a continuous contraction inhibition action (Non-patent Document 10). Further, naloxone, which is a t opioid receptor antagonist having a morphinan skeleton, is also known to have an action to inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi (NTon-patent Document 11).
[0012]
Thus, no suggestion has been made at all on inhibition of contraction of sphincter of Oddi by opioid îc receptor agonists having a morphinan skeleton similar to the compounds of the present invention.
[0013]
It has been disclosed that the compounds of the present invention show antagonistic actions on the ORL-1 receptor. Since nociceptin (which is sometimes referred to as orphanin FQ), which is an endogenous agonist peptide of this receptor, is expressed in the excitatory motor neurons in the my-enteric plexus of sphincter of Oddi and inhibits cholinerc neurotransmission, it has been suggested that nociceptin may act on sphincter of Oddi via a feedback autoinhibitory mechanism (Non-patent Document 12).
25 [0014]
Thus, ORL-1 receptor agonists are considered to inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi, but inhibition of contraction of sphincter of Oddi by an antaaronistic action on the ORL-1 receptor has not been suggested.

Gastroenterol.. 6. 102 (2000)). and. in cases where the drug, shows an action to inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi in this model, the drug can be said to have a therapeutic 9nd or prophylactic effect on biliary tract diseases.
EXAMPLES
[0057]

The present invention vi1i now be described concretely by way of an Example.
Example 1 Effect of ( -)-17-(cyclopropy-tmethy t)-3.140-dihy-droxy-4.5a-epoxy-60-[N-metJayl-trans-3-(3-fury1)acry larnidolmorphinan hydrochloride (Compound 1) on the Contraction of Sphincter of Oddi in Rabbits 2 7 The method described in Wei JG et al., World J. Gastroenterol., 6. 102 (2000) was partially modified and used for measurement of a change in the perfusion pressure in sphincter of Oddi. The change in the perfusion pressure reflects the motility of a contractive change of sphincter of Oddi.
[0058]
23 Male NZW rabbits (Japan SLC) which had body weights of 2.0 to 2.5 kg upon delivery were fasted from the evening of the day before the experiment.
The experiment was conied out under anesthesia with pentobarbital, with artificial ventilation. Each rabbit was immobilized in the supine position and subjected to abdominal incision to expose the periduodenal area and the common bile duct. A

small incision was made in the common bile duct, and a cannula was inserted into the common bile duct toward the duodenum side, followed by indwelling its tip in sphincter of Oddi (sphincter ampullae). For biliary excretion, another cannula was inserted into the bile duct toward the gallbladder side and immobilized. From the other end of the cannula whose tip was indwelled in the sphincter of Oddi, physiological saline was continuously injected at a flow rate of 6 mf /hour to allow perfusion in the sphincter of Oddi. By recording the perfusion pressure with a 7 C blood pressure monitoring transducer (DX-300, Nihon Kohden Corporation), the contraction reaction of sphincter of Oddi was measured.
[0059]
To the rabbit. 5% aqueous marmitol solution, which is the vehicle for the Compound 1 solution, was administered via the jugular vein. Further, not less than 30 minutes after the administration of the vehicle. Compound 1 was administered to the same individual at a dose of 0.2 ttakg via the jugular vein. The administration volume of the vehicle and Compound 1 was 1 m121(g., and the administration was carried out for 60 seconds.
[0060]
2 0 Fig. 1 shows the result of calculation of the rate of change in the maximum perfusion pressure (Oddi muscle contraction (Delta%)) based on comparison between the value observed during the 3 minutes immediately before beginnina of the adrninistration and the value observed during the 3 minutes immediately after beginning of the administration (mean - standard error; N=11 cases). In contrast to 2 3 the fact that the rate of change in the maximum perfusion pressure was 93.32% on average in the case of intravenous administration of 0.2 tig/kg Compound 1, the rate of change in the maximum perfusion pressure was 99.81% on average in the case of administration of the vehicle. Thus, in the Compound 1-administered eroup, the rate of change in the maximum perfusion pressure was lower compared to the vehicle-administered uoup, and this difference was significant (*p<0.05, paired t-test). This indicates that Compound 1 has an action to inhibit contraction of sphincter of Oddi.
[00611 Oxapium iodide, which has an action to inhibit contraction of shpinctr of Oddi and is currently clinically used as a therapeutic agent for biliary tract diseases, reduces the sphincter of Oddi perfusion pressure by about 10 mm}170 (corresponds _ to 0.74 mmHg) when it is intravenously administered to a dog at a dose of 0.3 mg.:kg.
(Tamasawa Y. et al.. Kiso to Rinsho. 6, 128 (1972)). Further, gabexate mesilate reduces the sphincter of Oddi perfUsion pressure by 6.9 mm1-120 (corresponds to 0.51 mmHg) or 10.6 mm1120 (corresponds to 0.78 mmag,) when it is intravenously administered to a dog, at a dose of 1 merkg- or 3 me kg. respectively (Yarnasato T. et al.. J Smooth Muscle Res.. 27, 87 (1991). Since oxapiurn iodide is usually orally administered at a dose of 30 to 60 mg per adult per day dividedly in 3 times, and 100 M.c.", of gabexate mesilate is usually dissolved in 500 mI of Ringer's solution and the resulting solution is administered by intravenous drip infusion at a rate of not more than 8 m I ;Minute, the above-described doses are considered to be equivalent to the 20 clinical doses of those drugs.
[0062]
In the present Example, by intravenous administration of 0.2 gelg of Compound 1 to rabbits, the actual value of the MaXiTTIPTI1 perfusion pressure was reduced by 0.95 mmHg on average. This result therefore indicates that, by using 2 5 Compound 1, a therapeutic and prophylactic effect on biliary tract diseases can be clinically expected.
Compound 1 has a structure represented by Formula (11) below.
