Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of treating or preventing colon cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, or cystic cancer in a mammal said method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of porphyrin derivatives or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
- Photodynamic tumor therapy is one of therapeutic techniques to treat incurable diseases using by photosensitizer drugs having a selectivity and photoenhancing activity to cancer cells or various tumors without a surgical operation and complication occurring in Chemotherapy.
- the action mechanism of photosensitizer drugs is that for example, the drug is administrated intravenously to a patient and the optimum amount of light is irradiated thereto to form excited state of photosensitizer.
- the drugs give rise to activating oxygen molecule to transform to be excited singlet oxygen state, new radical or new chemical species resulting in attacking and demolishing cancer cells or various tumor cells selectively.
- Representative photosensitizers are porphyrin compounds which have been extracted from silk worm feces or mulberry leaf or green algae and have appropriate spectrophotometric characteristics to be used as photosensitizers. Their most important characteristics are to give rise to electron transition due to infrared light whose wavelength from 700 to 900 nm allowing relative great cell penetrating activity and the production of excited state of triplet oxygen thereby.
- Porphyrin derivatives as photosensitizers can selectively not only penetrate or be accumulated in tumor site but also emit fluorescence or phosphorescence and therefore, can be useful as an early stage diagnostic tool.

Abstract
The present invention is related to novel use of photopyrin compounds useful as an anticancer agent by way of reproducing singlet state oxygen radical and the inventive compounds showed potent inhibition effect on colon cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, cystic cancer or lung cancer. Accordingly, the porphyrin compound of the present invention can be useful in treating or preventing colon cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, cystic cancer or lung cancer in human or mammal.
Description
- This application is a continuation-in part of U.S. Ser. No. 10/718,734 filed on Nov. 20, 2003.
- 1. Technical Field
- The present invention relates to a method of treating or preventing colon cancer, cervical cancer, gastric cancer, or cystic cancer in a mammal said method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of porphyrin derivatives or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
- 2. Background Art
- Photodynamic tumor therapy is one of therapeutic techniques to treat incurable diseases using by photosensitizer drugs having a selectivity and photoenhancing activity to cancer cells or various tumors without a surgical operation and complication occurring in Chemotherapy.
- The action mechanism of photosensitizer drugs is that for example, the drug is administrated intravenously to a patient and the optimum amount of light is irradiated thereto to form excited state of photosensitizer. The drugs give rise to activating oxygen molecule to transform to be excited singlet oxygen state, new radical or new chemical species resulting in attacking and demolishing cancer cells or various tumor cells selectively.
- Representative photosensitizers are porphyrin compounds which have been extracted from silk worm feces or mulberry leaf or green algae and have appropriate spectrophotometric characteristics to be used as photosensitizers. Their most important characteristics are to give rise to electron transition due to infrared light whose wavelength from 700 to 900 nm allowing relative great cell penetrating activity and the production of excited state of triplet oxygen thereby.
- Porphyrin derivatives as photosensitizers can selectively not only penetrate or be accumulated in tumor site but also emit fluorescence or phosphorescence and therefore, can be useful as an early stage diagnostic tool.
- There have been lots of reports on several porphyrin derivatives in prior art. For example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,633,275; 5,654,423; 5,675,001; 5,703,230; 5,705,622 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,882,234 disclose several photoprin II compounds. It has been reported that one of those is on sale and some of those are on clinical trials, however, those porphyrin II are the mixtures consisting of several oligomers ether-linked with haematoporphyrin (HpD).
- PCT/WO 97/29915 (A) discloses BPDMA (verteporphin), a benzoporphyrin derivative, known to show specific effect on skin cancer, psoriasis and AMD. M-THPC disclosed in PCT/WO97/48393 and known to be useful in treating trachea and lung cancer or Monoaspitylchlorine disclosed in CA Registration No. 2121716 and Japanese Patent Registration No. 09071531 and known to be useful to photodynamic therapy as one of chlorine derivatives have been reported together with related several patents i.e., PCT/WO97/19081, PCT/WO 97/32885; EP 569113; U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,587,394; 5,648,485 and 5,693,632; all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- However, most of those porphyrin group compounds are meso-tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives, chlorine group, chlorophyll group, purpurine group, nerdine, Diels-Elder Reaction Adducts and so on and 5-aminolevulanic acid, phthalocyanin and the like as non-porphyrin group compounds.
- Since the yield of producing singlet oxygen molecule is correlated with cell cytotoxic activity directly, the yield is in proportion with cell cytotoxic activity, which is most crucial factor together with the retention time in human body in photodynamic therapy and remains to be improved till now. However, above described clinically using porphyrin compounds as photosensitizer drugs have been reported to have several disadvantages such as too long retention time in human body delivering unfavorable photo-toxicity, which remains to be improved till now.
- Accordingly, present inventors have endeavored to find novel use of porphyrin derivatives or their pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which shows potent anti-cancer activity verified by several experiments, i.e., in vitro cancer cell line test and in vivo animal model test, and finally accomplished the present invention.

- In Vitro Assay
- DH-1-180-3 as a test sample of the present invention and photofrin (photogem®) as a control group were used in test.
- 1) CT26 cell line (mouse colon cancer cell line) was cultured in culture medium (DMEM, 10% FBS, 100 units of penicillin, 100 ug streptomycin, L-glutamine, 2.2 mg/ml sodium bicarbonate) at 37° C. in 5% CO2.
- 2) CT26 cell lines were inoculated into a 96-well, flat-bottomed microplate at a volume of 100 ul (1×105 cells/well), respectively. 24 hrs later, the medium was removed and the cultures were washed three times in PBS.
- 3) Various concentrations of DH-I-180-3 (final conc.: 0.1˜2 ug/ml) dissolved in DMF were added at a volume of 100 ul/well for 1 hr. The concentration of DMF solvent didn't exceed 0.5% to exclude the effect of DMF. Following incubation, the cells were exposed to light (1.2 J/cm2 using by halogen lamp), and then the cells were further incubated at 37° C. for 24 hrs in humidified incubator.
- 4) For the MTT assay, 20 ul of MTT reagent (5 mg/ml) was added to each cell culture well and cultured for 4 hrs. The supernatant was discarded and 200 ul of DMSO was added to the culture. Shaken for 10 min and the absorbance measured with an ELISA-reader at 570 nm.
- 5) The control, light and DMF groups represent cell only, light only and DMF only. Respectively. The photoesensitizer only group was subtracted from this result due to having not influence on tumor cells by itself.
