Benefits of technology

[0013] While not wishing to be bound by theory, drugs that activate PPARgamma can cause fluid retention through a number of mechanisms. A surprising feature of this invention is that the fluid retention usually caused by drugs that activate PPARgamma can be prevented or attenuated by blockade of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Because multiple mechanisms may be involved in the fluid retention caused by PPARgamma ligands, it could not have been predicted that blockade of angiotensin receptors could prevent or attenuate the fluid retention caused by PPARgamma ligands in humans. Thus, it could not have been predicted that ARBs that activate PPAR could be used to treat or prevent type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, or other insulin resistance syndromes without increasing the risk for fluid retention, edema, or congestive heart failure.
[0016] The current invention describes the surprising finding that drugs exist and can be developed that block the angiotensin II Type 1 receptor (angiotensin receptor blockers or ARBs) and can also increase the activity of PPARgamma. That is, some drugs exist that can function as both an ARB and as a PPAR activator. Such agents include, but are not limited to, telmisartan and irbesartan and can be used to prevent or treat type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and other disorders responsive to PPARgamma activation including inflammatory disorders without causing fluid retention, edema, or congestive heart failure. Thus, angiotensin receptor blockers such as telmisartan and irbesartan can be surprisingly used to treat conditions that are known by those skilled in the art to be responsive to PPARgamma activators and can do so without causing fluid retention, edema, or congestive heart failure.
[0019] Also surprisingly, by administering an ARB or ACE inhibitor prior to or concurrently with compounds that activate PPARgamma either as separate pills or tablets or capsules, or by administering both drugs formulated in a single pill or tablet or capsule, one can also prevent or treat glucose intolerance or type 2 diabetes and other PPAR responsive disorders without causing fluid retention, edema, or congestive heart failure.
[0022] In one embodiment, said compound increases the activity of the PPAR subtype, PPARgamma or the PPARgamma-retinoid X receptor (PPARgamma-RXR) heterodimer, independently or in combination with an increase in activity of PPARalpha, PPARdelta, or both PPARalpha and PPARdelta.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, it could not have been predicted that ARBs that activate PPAR could be used to treat or prevent type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, or other insulin resistance syndromes without increasing the risk for fluid retention, edema, or congestive heart failure.
Thus, it could also not have been predicted that certain ARBs could be used to treat or prevent insulin resistance syndromes, type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome or other conditions known to be treatable by drugs that increase the activity of PPARgamma.

Identification of Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers That Activate PPARgamma

[0157] PPARγ activity was determined by transactivation assays in CV-1 cells (CCL-70 line from ATCC, Bethesda, Md.) transfected using the GenePorter transfection reagent (Gene Therapy Systems, San Diego, Calif.) to deliver 200 ng of a PPARγ expression plasmid and 1 μg of a luciferase reporter plasmid and 400 ng pCMVSport β-gal (Gibco, Grand Island, N.J.) as an internal control. 24 hr post-transfection, cells were treated with varying concentrations of the test compounds (telmisartan, irbesartan, valsartan, losartan, the active metabolite of losartan, the active forms of candesartan and olmesartan, rosiglitazone, or pioglitazone) and incubated for an additional 24 hr. Cell extracts were assayed for luciferase and β-galactosidase activity using Promega (Madison, Wis.) assay systems. All treatments were performed in triplicate, and normalized for β-galactosidase activity. Agonist concentrations yielding h...

Measurement of In Vitro Adipocyte Differentiation Activity

[0159] The following examples 2 and 3 provide a generic means to measure adipocyte differentation to determine if one has an insulin-sensitizing agent. A mouse preadipocyte cell line (3T3-L1) obtained from the American Type Culture Collection, and the cells are grown in a Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 4.5 g / L glucose, 50 mg / L streptomycin sulfate, 100,000 units / L penicillin-G, 0.584 g / L L-glutamine, 4 mg / L pantothenate, 8 mg / L D-biotin, and 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.2)] supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The cells are then plated at 1.5×104 / cm2 in a 96-well tissue culture plate (view plate, 96 white, Packard) coated with type 1 collagen. After the cells had reached confluence, the cells were further cultured with differentiation medium DMEM supplemented with 5% FBS, 100 ng / mL insulin, 0.1 mM isobutylmethylxanthine (IBMX), and 1 mM dexamethasone, and containing various concentrations of compounds for...

Measurement of In Vivo Insulin-Sensitivity Activity

[0160] The hypoglycemic activity of the test compounds in insulin resistant obese fatty (fa / fa) Zucker rats (Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, Me.). These rats are profoundly insulin resistant with extremely high blood concentrations of insulin. Lean littermates (− / −) are used as controls. Each test compounds is administered to three Zucker rats at 10 mg / kg daily for five days after which blood samples are taken in the non-fasting state. Blood samples are collected, placed in a hematocrit centrifuge tube, and centrifuged to obtain plasma. Insulin in the collected plasma is measured by means of a radioimmuno-assay kit (Linco Research, Inc, St Charles, Mo.). The insulin-sensitizing activity of the test compounds are calculated as follows:

Insulin-sensitivity activity (%)=[(PI in C−PI in T) / PI in C]×100 [0161] where “PI in C” is plasma insulin in control rats and “PI in T” is plasma insulin in rats treated with test compounds.

Abstract

Methods are provided for treating or prophylactically preventing metabolic disorders in humans without causing, promoting, or aggravating fluid retention, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema, or congestive heart failure, by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound sufficient to partially or fully activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and partially or fully inhibit, antagonize or block the activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Metabolic disorders that can be treated or prevented include but are not limited to type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and other insulin resistance syndromes. Compounds are provided that antagonize or block the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, function as partial or full activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), can be used to treat or prevent diseases known to be treatable or preventable by PPAR activators and were not previously recognized to be therapeutic targets for angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
