Benefits of technology

The invention provides a method for treating ocular diseases by administering a compound and an anti-VEGF agent. The compound has a specific formula and can be used to treat various ocular diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. The anti-VEGF agent helps to further treat these diseases. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a more effective treatment for ocular diseases by targeting the underlying causes of the diseases.

Problems solved by technology

Injuries and diseases that impair the normal structure or function of these vascular beds are among the leading causes of visual impairment and blindness.
The wet form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common form of choroidal neovascularization and a leading cause of blindness in the elderly.
AMD affects millions of Americans over the age of 60, and is the leading cause of new blindness among the elderly.
These new vessels are very fragile and break easily, causing blood and fluid to pool within the layers of the retina.
Eventually, however, diabetic retinopathy can result in blindness.
However, they have thin, fragile walls and without timely treatment, these new blood vessels can leak blood (whole blood or some constituents thereof) which can result in severe vision loss and even blindness.
Also, fluid can leak into the center of the macula, the part of the eye where sharp, straight-ahead vision occurs.
Laser therapy has had limited success and selected choroidal neovascular membranes which initially respond to laser therapy have high disease recurrence rates.
There is also a potential loss of vision resulting from laser therapy.
Low dose radiation has been applied ineffectively to induce regression of choroidal neovascularization.

4-{(S)-2-[(S)-2-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-3-phenylpropanamido]-2-(4-ethylthiazol-2-yl)ethyl}phenylsulfamic acid (5)

Preparation of [1-(S)-carbamoyl-2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1)

[0337]To a 0° C. solution of 2-(S)-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-propionic acid and N-methylmorpholine (1.1 mL, 9.65 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) is added dropwise iso-butyl chloroformate (1.25 mL, 9.65 mmol). The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 20 minutes after which NH3 (g) is passed through the reaction mixture for 30 minutes at 0° C. The reaction mixture is concentrated and the residue dissolved in EtOAc, washed successively with 5% citric acid, water, 5% NaHCO3, water and brine, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to a residue that is triturated with a mixture of EtOAc / petroleum ether to provide 2.2 g (74%) of the desired product as a white solid.

(2-Methylthiazol-4-yl)methanesulfonyl chloride (41)

Preparation of sodium (2-methylthiazol-4-yl)methanesulfonate (40)

[0520]4-Chloromethyl-2-methylthiazole (250 mg, 1.69 mmol) is dissolved in H2O (2 mL) and treated with sodium sulfite (224 mg, 1.78 mmol). The reaction mixture is subjected to microwave irradiation for 20 minutes at 200° C. The reaction mixture is diluted with H2O (30 mL) and washed with EtOAc (2×25 mL). The aqueous layer is concentrated to afford 0.368 g of the desired product as a yellow solid. LC / MS ESI+ 194 (M+1, free acid).

Abstract

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for treating ocular diseases, inter alia, diabetic macular edema, age-related macular degeneration (wet form), choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusion (central or branch), ocular trauma, surgery induced edema, surgery induced neovascularization, cystoid macular edema, ocular ischemia, uveitis, and the like. These diseases or conditions are characterized by changes in the ocular vasculature whether progressive or non-progressive, whether a result of an acute disease or condition, or a chronic disease or condition.
