Benefits of technology

[0394]The pharmaceutical compositions and methods according to this invention show advantageous effects in the treatment and prevention of those diseases and conditions as described hereinbefore. Advantageous effects may be seen for example with respect to efficacy, dosage strength, dosage frequency, pharmacodynamic properties, pharmacokinetic properties, fewer adverse effects, convenience, compliance, etc.
[0395]Methods for the manufacture of SGLT2 inhibitors according to this invention and of prodrugs thereof are known to the one skilled in the art. Advantageously, the compounds according to this invention can be prepared using synthetic methods as described in the literature, including patent applications as cited hereinbefore. Preferred methods of manufacture are described in the WO 2006 / 120208 and WO 2007 / 031548. With regard to empagliflozin an advantageous crystalline form is described in the international patent application WO 2006 / 117359 which hereby is incorporated herein in its entirety.
[0396]The active ingredients may be present in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts include, without being restricted thereto, such as salts of inorganic acid like hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid; salts of organic carboxylic acid like oxalic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, malic acid, benzoic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, tartaric acid, succinic acid and glutamic acid and salts of organic sulfonic acid like methanesulfonic acid and p-toluenesulfonic acid. The salts can be formed by combining the compound and an acid in the appropriate amount and ratio in a solvent and decomposer. They can be also obtained by the cation or anion exchange from the form of other salts.
[0397]The active ingredients or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof may be present in the form of a solvate such as a hydrate or alcohol adduct.
[0398]Pharmaceutical compositions or combinations for use in these therapies comprising the SGLT-2 inhibitor as defined herein optionally together with one or more other active substances are also contemplated.
[0399]Further, the present invention relates to the SGLT-2 inhibitors, optionally in combination with one, two or more further active agents, each as defined herein, for use in the therapies as described herein.

Problems solved by technology

The rising prevalences of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) represent major challenges for global public health.
In addition, the presence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with a two to five fold increase in cardiovascular disease risk.
In addition, even in patients within the intensive treatment arm glycemic control deteriorated significantly over time and this was attributed to deterioration of β-cell function.
Therefore many patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus remain inadequately treated, partly because of limitations in long term efficacy, tolerability and dosing inconvenience of existing antihyperglycemic therapies.
The high incidence of therapeutic failure is a major contributor to the high rate of long-term hyperglycemia-associated complications or chronic damages (including micro- and macrovascular complications such as e.g. diabetic nephrophathy, retinopathy or neuropathy, or cardiovascular complications) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Effects of SGLT2 Inhibition on Oxidative Stress, Vessel Wall Thickness and Collagen Content, and Endothelial Dysfunction in STZ-Induced Diabetes Mellitus (Type I) in Rat

[0463]Type I diabetes in Wistar rats (8 weeks old, 250-300 g) are induced by a single i.v. injection of STZ (60 mg / kg). The blood glucose level is measured 3 days after STZ injection (to test whether diabetes was induced) and on the day of sacrifice. One week after injection empagliflozin (SGLT2-i) was administered with drinking water for additional 7 weeks (10 and 30 mg / kg / d p.o.). Treatment with empagliflozin showed a distinct reduction of blood glucose levels in diabetic rats without influence on loss of weight gain. Isometric tension recordings showed an empagliflozin-dependent normalization of endothelial function in diabetic animals and reduced oxidative stress in aortic vessels and blood, examined by DHE staining of aortic cryosections and PDBu / zymosanA-stimulated chemiluminescence, respectively. Additionally,...

Measurement of Hourly Blood Pressure

[0474]Empagliflozin (10 mg and 25 mg) was administered orally once daily over 12 weeks in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The change from baseline in hourly mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was measured over a 24-hour period afer 12 weeks of treatment compared to the placebo group and is shown in FIGS. 14 and 15.

Treatment of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus with Elevated Cardiovascular Risk

[0475]The longterm impact on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and relevant efficacy parameters (e.g. HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, treatment sustainability) of treatment with empagliflozin in a relevant population of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is investigated as follows:

[0476]Type 2 diabetes patient with elevated risk of cardiovascular events, e.g. as defined below, are treated over a lengthy period (e.g. for between approximately 6 and 8 years) with empagliflozin (optionally in combination with one or more other active substances, e.g. such as those described herein) and compared with patients who have been treated with a placebo on standard of care background medication.

[0477]Empagliflozin is administered orally once daily (10 mg / daily or 25 mg / daily). Patients are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, are on diet and exercise regimen and are drug-naïve or pre-treated with an...
