example 1

[0347] Example 1 - Determination of Inhibition of Human DHODH Activity

[0348] DHODH activity and its inhibition were studied with 2,6-didichlorophenol-indophenol (DCIP) using a chromogen reduction assay. Combines substrate oxidation (dihydroorotate, L-DHO) and co-substrate reduction (coenzyme Q, CoQ) with chromogen reduction, thus enzymatic activity results in chromogen absorbance at 600 nm Loss.

[0349] Enzyme extracts (8 microliters, approximately 1.5 micrograms of human protein) were incubated in 96-well plates. Assay mix (200 μl) contained 200 μM CoQD, 100 μM L-DHO, 120 μM DCIP, and 2 μl Test compound. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO such that the stock concentration was 1 mM and tested at different concentrations ranging from 10 μM to 1 pM to calculate the IC 50 (inhibitor concentration required for 50% inhibition).

[0350] The reaction was initiated by the addition of enzyme, followed by incubation for 10 minutes at room temperature, followed by measurement of...

[0355] Example 2 - Reduced liver toxicity

[0356] Acute hepatotoxicity assays were performed on Swiss mice. Animals were administered either vehicle, or 100 mg / kg teriflunomide, or a compound of the invention (from the list shown above) alone by intraperitoneal route. After 24 hours, the animals were sacrificed and the levels of the liver markers AST (aspartate aminotransferase), ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and BIL (total bilirubin) in plasma were determined.

[0357] Table 2: After administration of 100 mg / kg compound, 100 mg / kg teriflunomide or vehicle Plasma levels (IU: International Units) of liver markers in mice after administration.

[0358] Compound number

[0359] As is clear from Table 2, compared to vehicle-treated mice, teriflunomide-treated mice showed a significant increase in three liver markers, clearly indicating high hepatotoxicity, whereas DHODH of the present invention Inhibitors did not cause significant increases in any of the parame...

[0360] Example 3: Determination of the efficacy of the combination product of the invention in adjuvant-induced arthritis.

[0361] The effect of DHODH inhibitor compounds in combination with methotrexate (0.05 mg / kg per day) was tested in a rat adjuvant-induced arthritis model (AIA) on animals with established disease (cure gender program). Briefly, Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) was injected into the left hind paw of Wistar rats, and 10 days later, the organ plethysmometer (plethysmometer) was used to measure the Swelling condition. Rats exhibiting similar degrees of inflammation in both paws were randomized into treatment groups (n=7 per group). Compounds were administered orally once daily for 10 days and paw volume was measured every other day until day 21.

[0362] Table 3. Compound 20 (10 mg / kg per day), methotrexate (0.05 mg per day / kg) and their combination on the inhibition of paw inflammation in arthritic rats.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The present invention relates to novel combinations of methotrexate and dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) inhibitors. These combinations are suitable for the treatment, prevention or inhibition of diseases and conditions known to be ameliorated by methotrexate and / or by inhibition of dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, such as autoimmune diseases, immune and inflammatory diseases, destructive Destructive bone disorder, malignant neoplastic disease, angiogenic-related disorder, viral disease, and infectious disease. 【Background technique】 [0002] Methotrexate (MTX) is an antimetabolite and immunomodulator that affects many intracellular pathways of purine metabolism. It is effective in reducing the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and slowing or stopping radiation damage. Due to its efficacy, ease of administration, and relatively low cost, MTX has become the first-line oral therapy in most RA patients. In patients with an incomplete r...
