A pharmaceutical composition comprising a HDAC inhibitor and a steroid and the use thereof

a technology of hdac inhibitor and steroid, which is applied in the direction of tetrapeptide ingredients, cyclic peptide ingredients, depsipeptide ingredients, etc., can solve the problems of cell clone that does not respect the integrity of other cells and tissues, and eventually metastasizes, so as to improve the survival of patients.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a new way to use a steroid called enoboside to make treatment with a type of cancer drug called a HDAC inhibitor more effective and reduce side effects like confusion. This can improve the chances of survival for patients with cancer and make it possible to treat elderly patients with lower doses of chemotherapy while maintaining their effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

From a classical view, sequential genetic events lead to malignant transformation, resulting in a cell clone that does not respect the integrity of other cells and tissues, and may eventually metastasize.
However, although indolent lymphomas cannot reach a complete cure by standard lymphoma treatment, they can sometimes be cured by allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Valproic Acid (VPA) Sensitises DLBCL Cell Lines to CHOP Treatment

[0059]The DLBCL cell lines WSU-NHL, Karpas-422, ULA, SU-DHL-5 and SU-DHL-8 cells were treated for 72 hours with three different concentrations (0.1 mM, 2 mM and 10 mM respectively) of valproic acid (VPA) alone, or in combination with CHOP. The CHOP regimen used in all examples consists of 10 μM cyclophosphamide monohydrate, 20 nM doxorubicin hydrochloride, 2 nM vincristine sulfate and 20 μg / ml prednisolone. (Ageberg, Rydström, Lindén, Linderoth, Jerkeman and Drott; Exp Cell Research; May 1; 317(8):1179-91).

[0060]The cell viability was assessed after 72 hours by trypan blue exclusion and normalised to untreated control cells at day 0 (seeding). Data are presented as mean±SEM, n=3.

[0061]As shown in Table 1, addition of valproic acid increased the cell death in response to CHOP treatment in all lymphoma cell lines, shows that a combination of valproic acid and CHOP could be beneficial to lymphoma patients.

Physiologically Relevant Concentrations of Valproic Acid (VPA) Sensitises DLBCL Cell Lines to CHOP Treatment

[0062]The DLBCL cell lines SU-DHL-8 (Table 2A) and WSU-NHL (Table 2B) were treated for 72 hours with 0.5 mM or 1.5 mM VPA alone, or in combination with CHOP. The concentration of 0.5 mM VPA was chosen because it is a normal serum concentration during continuous VPA treatment in patients with epilepsy. The concentration of 1.5 mM VPA was chosen because it is the maximal tolerated serum concentration during 5 day VPA treatment for compassionate use as noted by the inventor.

[0063]The cell viability was assessed after 0 (Day 1), 24 (Day 2), 48 (Day 3) and 72 (Day 4) hours respectively, by trypan blue exclusion and normalised to untreated control cells. Data are presented as mean, n=3.

[0064]Treatment effects on viability were tested against the effects of CHOP treatment alone. Significant differences were evaluated using Student's unpaired t-test. All tests were two-sided. Effects ...

Valproic Acid (VPA) does not Interfere with Rituximab-Mediated Cellular Cytotoxicity

[0067]To estimate the impact of VPA on the antibody-dependent-cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) induced by the CD20 antibody Rituximab. WSU-NHL cells (Table 3A and 3B) or SU-DHL-8 cells (Table 3C and 3D) were labelled with PKH26, either left untreated or incubated with 1.5 mM VPA for 24 hours followed by addition of rituximab at 0, 0.1, or 10 μg / ml

[0068]NK cells were added as an effector to target cell ratio of 10:1, thereafter the cells were incubated for an additional 20 hours. Dead target cells were identified as double positive for PKH26 and 7-AAD and used as readout of the assay. The data shown demonstrate percentage of dead cells, and representative of two independent experiments. The date show that VPA does not affect Rituximab induced ADCC, compatible with the use of VPA together with CD20 antibodies in lymphoma parients.

Abstract

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a HDAC inhibitor, a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or a salt thereof or a mixture thereof and a steroid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as well use of said pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer as a pretreatment prior to other treatments. Said HDAC inhibitor or steroid may alternatively be administrated separately prior to additional treatments.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a HDAC inhibitor, a pharmaceutically acceptable acid or a salt thereof or a mixture thereof and a steroid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as well use of said pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of cancer as a pretreatment prior to other treatments. Said HDAC inhibitor or steroid may alternatively be administrated separately prior to additional treatments.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]Cancer can be defined as an abnormal growth of cells which exhibit signs of uncontrolled proliferation and disturbed programmed cell death. From a classical view, sequential genetic events lead to malignant transformation, resulting in a cell clone that does not respect the integrity of other cells and tissues, and may eventually metastasize. Cancer can involve any tissue of the body and have many different forms in each body area.[0003]Malignant lymphoma can be defined as a malignant transform...
