Benefits of technology

The patent describes a new discovery that some chemicals in the cannabis plant, called CBD quinol derivatives, can inhibit the activity of certain proteins that regulate the production of oxygen in cells. This inhibition causes the levels of other proteins to increase, which leads to the activation of a pathway that promotes angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and the expression of genes involved in wound healing and collagen contraction. These chemicals could be potentially used as drugs to treat conditions related to low oxygen levels in cells.

Problems solved by technology

Until now, there are no any effective drugs to protect the brain from these diseases.

Activation of the HIF Pathway

[0116]To investigate the biological activities of the different compounds, HIF-1α transactivation assays were performed either in NIH-3T3-EPO-Luc cells (Table 1) or in HaCaT-EPO-luc cells (Table 2). The NIH3T3-EPO-luc and HaCaT-EPO-luc cells have been stably transfected with the plasmid Epo-Luc plasmid. The EPO-Hypoxia Response Element (HRE)-luciferase reporter plasmid contains three copies of the HRE consensus sequence from the promoter of the erythropoietin gene fused to the luciferase gene.

[0117]NIH3T3-EPO-luc cells were maintained at 37° C. in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FBS), and 1% (v / v) penicillin / streptomycin. Deferoxamine (DFX) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (USA). Cells (1×104 / well in 96-well plates) were seeded the day before the assay. The next day, the cells were stimulated with increasing concentrations of either Cannabidiol (CBD), VCE-004 or compounds II to X. After six hours ...

Cannabinoid Derivatives Stabilize the Levels of HIF-1α and HLF-2α in Different Cell Types and Inhibit PHDs Prolyl Hydrolase Activity

[0120]To gain insight into the regulation of HIF-1α stabilization by the compounds of Formula (I), the effect on HIF-1α expression in different cell types was investigated. Human oligodendrocyte MO13.3 cells were stimulated for 6 h with either 150 μDFX or 1 μM of Cannabidiol (CBD), VCE-004, compounds II to V (FIG. 1A), compounds VI to X (FIG. 1B). After that, the cells were washed with PBS and incubated in 50 μl of NP-40 buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol and 1% NP-40) supplemented with 10 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, 10 μg / ml leupeptine, 1 μg / ml pepstatin and aprotinin, and 1 μl / ml PMSF saturated. After centrifugation, the supernatants were mixed with SDS sample buffer and boiled at 95° C. Proteins were eleetrophoresed in 8-10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (20 ...

Angiogenesis Induced by Compounds of Formula (I)

[0129]To test the functional consequences of compound VIII stimulation in a physiological model, endothelial cell tube formation was measured as a model of angiogenesis. CellPlayer™ GFP AngioKit-96 (Essen BioScience Inc., Welwyn Garden City, UK) was supplied as growing co-cultures of human matrix (normal human dermal fibroblast, NHDF) and endothelial cells (HUVEC) at the earliest stages of tubule formation. CellPlayer 96-well kinetic angiogenesis assay was performed according to the manufacturer's protocol. Briefly, lentivirally infected green fluorescent protein (GFP)-HUVECs were cocultured with normal human dermal fibroblasts in a 96-well microplate. The plate was placed in IncuCyte, and images were automatically acquired in both phase and fluorescence every 6 hours for 7 days. At day 1, compound VIII (1 μM) or rhVEGFA (10 ng / ml) were added on the endothelial tube networks and kept throughout the experiment. Tube formation over the 7...

Abstract

Cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I) and compositions comprising the same for use in the treatment of conditions that benefit from the inhibition of the HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) activity are described. Said cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I), and compositions comprising the same, show thus capacity to inhibit PHD activities and, as a result, stabilize the HIF-1α and HIF-2α levels, activate the HIF pathway in different cell types, induce angiogenesis in human endothelial vascular cell, regulate HIF-dependent gene expression in different cell types and induce collagen contraction. Said cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I) are useful in the treatment of conditions that benefit from the inhibition of the HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) activity such as stroke, traumatic injuries anemia, myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, acute lung injury, infectious diseases, diabetic and chronic wounds, organ transplantation, acute kidney injury or arterial diseases.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the use of cannabidiol quinol derivatives of Formula (I) for use in the treatment of diseases benefiting from the inhibition of HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs). Particularly as HIF prolyl hydroxylases inhibitors, said compounds stabilize the levels of the HIF-1α and HIF-2α proteins, which results in the activation of the HIF-1 pathway. The inhibition of PHDs induces angiogenesis and collagen contraction which is useful in conditions such as anemia, myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion injury, acute lung injury, infectious diseases, diabetic and chronic wounds, organ transplantation, acute kidney injury or arterial diseases. This invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising said compounds for treating said diseases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Mammalian cells need to maintain proper oxygen homeostasis in order to execute their aerobic metabolism and energy generation. Since the discovery of the hypoxia-indu...
