TREATMENT OF INSULIN RESISTANCE SYNDROME AND TYPE 2 DIABETES WITH PDE9 INHIBITORS} [2] IRS as defined herein refers to the coexistence of two or more of hyperinsulinemia, dyslipidemia, hypertension, type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, hyperuricemia or gout, pro-coagulation, atherosclerosis, and / or central obesity in a subject. it means. At the heart of IRS, also known as "syndrome X" and "metabolic syndrome" in the biomedical literature, there is a common feature of tissue resistance to the action of insulin. Biological dysfunction to this insulin is manifested in the metabolic and vascular effects of insulin. There is a monogenic syndrome of insulin resistance (IR), in which certain genes have been identified as the cause of insulin resistance (eg, Donohues syndrome), but this is relatively rare. In contrast, the more common presentation of the IRS is associated with obesity (particularly the abdomen) and appears to be polygenic. [3] Adaptive responses to IR in subjects with IRS cause subject hyperinsulinemia. As IRS patients become progressively insulin resistant, they are clinically involved, including an increase in blood pressure and / or blood sugar and / or cholesterol and / or triglycerides and / or uric acid and / or factors that increase coagulation. The degree of change in the variable is indicated. When the clinical variable is sufficiently changed, the IRS patient may separately indicate a well recognized clinical condition or diagnosis. [4] The condition may include type 2 diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia, particularly hypertriglyceridemia, hyperuricemia or gout, and hypercoagulation (especially in blood vessels, abnormally high clot formation). Defined as trend). This clinical condition is a widely recognized risk factor for cardiovascular (coronary and cerebrovascular) diseases. [5] It is difficult to assess the onset of IRS in the general population, due to the diversity of collective risk factors associated with IRS and the possibility that many IRS patients will not be detected because they have no external symptoms and no history of coronary heart disease, but at least Patient populations at risk of developing IRS are considered to include individuals with obesity, particularly central (abdominal) obesity. Obesity is a common problem in the industrial society and is associated with the clinical conditions mentioned above. Thus, the incidence of IRS can be very high. Consideration of only this potential patient group forms a large population that is potentially at risk of developing IRS complications. For example, in 1994 in the United States, 23% of the 20-74 age group had hypertension, which accounts for five deaths per 100,000 population (1997). In 2000, there will be an estimated 154,392,000 diabetics worldwide. Of these, 15,000,000 will be in the United States and 934,000 in the United Kingdom. In the estimated WHO countries in 1998, there were 51,948,000 patients with death and 7,375,000 deaths for both men and women, which constitute 13.7% of total deaths and occupy the highest position in the total deaths. In the estimated WHO countries in 1998, there were 11,668,000 diabetics for both men and women. Accordingly, there is a significant medical need for effective and safe oral therapy for the treatment of IRS and for the prevention of the development of the IRS and its clinical results. [6] Resistance to the insulin effect is also observed in the reduction of the endothelial biological response to the vascular effect of insulin. In other words, insulin promotes relaxation of blood vessels, at least in part through the action of nitric oxide (NO). Nitric oxide produced in the endothelium stimulates cGMP production in blood vessels and relaxes or dilates blood vessels. Opening these vessels allows more blood to flow, which is particularly important when more blood flow is required for important organs such as the heart. IR patients have demonstrated reduced NO release from the endothelium. The reduced release of NO is not only from insulin, but also from other important vasodilators such as acetylcholine. This so-called "endothelial dysfunction" contributes to risk factors for cardiovascular disease associated with IRS. The vascular effect of insulin contributes to the effect of insulin on controlling metabolism, particularly but not limited to glucose metabolism. [7] NO also directly affects glucose uptake by skeletal muscle. In other words, in vitro treatment with NO-donor material such as nitropurside or cGMP analogues increases glucose uptake (delivery by GLUT4 sugar transporter). Such vasodilation-independent pathways are incorporated herein by reference in GJ Etgen, DA Fryburg and EM Gibbs in Diabetes , 46 , 1997 pp. 1915-1919. Taken together, NO and cGMP have direct target tissue (skeletal muscle) and vascular action that affects, mediates, or mimics the action of insulin. [8] Additional effects of NO free failure by the endothelium include increased vascular smooth muscle cell (USMC) growth, proliferation and migration, which is a key step in atherosclerotic plaque formation that can lead to seizures; Increase in platelet aggregation and adhesion; Increased lipid peroxidation and effects on inhibition of cell adhesion molecule expression, including vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), intracellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), E-selectin. Endothelial NO free failure also affects the activity of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the production of monocyte chemoattractors through the reduced activity of the transcriptional activator nuclear factor kappa B. The effect on the platelets is also cGMP driving. [9] Finally, there is an example in which the treatment of factors contributing to the IRS or the treatment of the IRS itself improves many of the clinical conditions that seem unrelated at first glance. For example, pharmacotherapeutics that induce diet alone or weight loss will reduce blood pressure, blood sugar and triglycerides. Drugs designed to improve insulin sensitivity can also advantageously alter blood pressure, lipids and blood sugar. [10] Successful diagnosis and treatment of IRS patients with PDE9 inhibitors will result in clinically relevant improvements in blood pressure and / or blood glucose and / or insulin and / or lipids and / or uric acid and / or procoagulant factors. . Such treatment may be performed alone or in combination with other therapeutic agents that enhance IRS. Improving the clinical condition should reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the patient, and other complications of the individual disease, including but not limited to diabetic neuropathy, nephropathy and retinopathy. [11] IRS presents many symptoms, but an important underlying epidemiological basis for disease is resistance to both the vascular and metabolic effects of insulin. In addition, the underlying pathology of vascular resistance in insulin resistance syndrome is the reduction of the amount of NO produced by endothelial cells in response to insulin. In insulin resistance patients, there is an insufficiency of insulin signaling for glucose uptake. [12] Amplifying cGMP signals using cGMP PDE9 inhibitors in IRS patients enhances insulin glucose uptake signals and improves insulin action in key tissues. Increasing insulin sensitivity improves clinical variables of IRS outcomes, especially in the following sections: [13] 1. Glucose Control: In patients with type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance, improving insulin sensitivity results in a decrease in plasma glucose concentrations (fasting or after oral glucose tolerance tests or meals). In a related manner as controlled by the patient's pathophysiology, there will be an improvement in fasting state, or glucose load or post-meal serum insulin concentrations. This improvement in glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes results in an improvement in the measure of long-term blood glucose control, such as but not limited to hemoglobin A1c (glycosylated hemoglobin) or fructosamine. [14] 2. Blood Pressure: Improving insulin sensitivity is believed to result in improvement of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. [15] 3. Lipids: Improvement in insulin resistance results in improvement of serum lipids, including but not limited to serum cholesterol and triglycerides. [16] 4. Uric acid: An improvement in insulin resistance leads to an improvement in serum uric acid. [17] 5. Coagulation Factors: Improvement in insulin resistance is believed to restore normal factors that exacerbate procoagulant conditions. [18] cGMP PDE9 inhibitors increase the amount of accumulated cGMP by preventing the effect of the phosphodiesterase 9 enzyme converting cGMP to inactive GMP. This accumulation amplifies the vasodilator, metabolic and anti-atherogenic effects of available nitric oxide and insulin. This amplification action alleviates the side effects associated with IRS and ameliorates one or more associated conditions. [19] Diabetes is characterized by metabolic deficiencies in the production and use of carbohydrates, which result in increased blood sugar or hyperglycemia by failing to maintain adequate blood sugar levels. Diabetes treatment research has focused on attempts to normalize fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels. Current treatments include the administration of exogenous insulin, oral administration of drugs, diet and exercise curing. [20] Two major forms of diabetes are recognized. Type 1 diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes is the result of an absolute deficiency of insulin, a hormone that regulates carbohydrate utilization. Type 2 diabetes or insulin-independent diabetes often occurs at normal or even elevated levels of insulin, and tissues do not respond properly to insulin. It seems to be a bad result. Complications of type 2 diabetes include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and coronary heart disease, and are believed to be facilitated by excessive protein glycation due to excessive blood sugar concentrations. Reduction of hyperglycemia by treatment with PDE inhibitors will lower protein glycosylation levels and lead to a reduction in the diabetic complications. [21] Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as Stein-Leventhal syndrome or functional ovarian hyperandrogenism, causes long-term ovulation deficiency (ovulation) and excessive blood androgens (male hormones such as testosterone). Is a complex endocrine disease associated with. The disease is characterized by the formation of a cyst in the ovary, a process that is associated with the ovary not liberating the egg. In most cases, the ovary enlarges. PCOS suffers up to 22% of women during the fertile period (only 10% of them show symptoms). This is one of the most frequent causes of female infertility.

[152] Effect of specific PDE9 inhibitors on insulin resistance syndrome in animals- ob / obEffect on Plasma Glucose, Triglycerides, Insulin, and cGMP Levels in Mice [153] Biological data [154] Experimental protocol [155] Test compound : [156] The PDE9 inhibitor compound to be tested was dissolved in 10% DMSO / 0.1% Pluronix and administered by oral gavage using mouse oral feeding saliva (20 gauge, Popper & Sons, Inc., New Hyde Park, NY). 4 ml / kg body weight was administered for each dose. Compounds were tested at doses in the range of 1-50 mg / kg. [157] Experimental Animals : [158] Male ob / ob mice obtained from Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME) were used in the study at 6-10 week ages. Mice were housed at 5 per cage and had free access to D11 mouse food (Purina, Brentwood, Mo.) and water. [159] Experimental protocol : [160] Mice were acclimated to Pfizer animal facilities for one week prior to the start of the test. On day 1, orbital posterior blood samples were obtained and plasma glucose was measured as described below. Mice were divided into 5 groups so that the mean plasma glucose concentration of each group did not differ. On day 1, vehicle or test PDE9 inhibitor compounds were administered to mice only in the afternoon. The mice were then dosed twice daily in the morning and afternoon on days 2-4. On day 5, mice were dosed in the morning and blood was collected 3 hours later for plasma and aliquots of glucose and triglyceride assays as described below. On day 5 final plasma samples were collected after orbital posterior bleeding as described below. Body weights were measured on days 1 and 5 of the test and food consumption was assessed over 5 days. [161] Final blood collection and tissue collection [162] On the morning of the last day of the test, the test compound or vehicle was dosed around 8 am. Three hours after dosing, 25 μl of blood was obtained from the orbital posterior sinus and added to 100 μl of 0.025% heparinized saline in Denville Scientific microtubes. The tube was spun at full speed in Beckman Microfuge 12 for 2 minutes. Plasma was collected for blood glucose and triglyceride measurements. Mice were sacrificed by the guillotine and about 1 ml of blood was collected in a Becton-Dickinson Microtainer brand plasma separator tube containing lithium heparin. The tube was spun at full speed in a Beckman microfuge 12 for 5 minutes. Plasma was collected in 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes and snap frozen in liquefied nitrogen. Plasma samples were stored at −80 ° C. until analysis. [163] Metabolite and Horbon Analysis : [164] Plasma glucose and triglycerides were measured using an Alcion Clinical Chemical Analyzer (Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) using a kit supplied by Abbott. Plasma cGMP was measured using a Biotrak enzyme-immunoassay system by Amersham (Piscataway, NJ). Plasma insulin was assessed by the Mercodia ELISA insulin kit by ALPCO (Uppsala, Sweden) by a similar technique. All analyzes were performed according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
