Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of contraception. More particularly it relates to the use of mesoprogestins for the production of a pharmaceutical for female contraception, to a pharmaceutical preparation for female contraception and to a method of female contraception administering effective amounts of a mesoprogestin to a female desiring contraception.
  • oral contraception is a pill that combines both an estrogen and a progestin, a so-called combined oral contraceptive preparation.
  • the progestin acts to block gonadotropin releases (inhibition of ovulation); the estrogen component provides endomethal control to diminish breakthrough bleeding.
  • the combined preparations are the preferred oral contraceptives in use today (Sheth et al., Contraception, 25:243, (1982)).
  • Antiprogestins are a class of compounds that block the progesterone receptor.
  • RU 486 is a progesterone receptor antagonist. RU 486 binds to the progesterone receptor and produces a blockade of the binding of progesterone to ist receptor. When administered in the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, RU 486 induces vaginal bleeding.
  • a contraception method using competitive progesterone antagonists is disclosed in WO 93/23020. Below their ovulation inhibiting dose and the abortive dose progesterone antagonist, preferably after oral administration, achieve contraception in females, by inhibition of implantation. The method does not adversely affect the female's menstrual cycle and is without risk of aborting a previous implanted fertilized egg or a fetus.
  • the application of the progesterone antagonist occurs at least once in the follicular phase of the female's menstrual cycle (i.e. before ovulation).
  • the preferred frequency of administration is daily or it follows in regular intervals of some days, e.g. weekly or with a distance of 3 or 4 days between the single administrations of active compound.
  • WO 94/18982 teaches a method of inhibiting fertilization of an oocyte which comprises administering a fertilizing inhibitory amount of an antiprogestin to an ovulatory mammal.
  • the amount is insufficient either to prevent ovulation or to interfere with the regularity of the ovarian menstrual cycle of the mammal.
  • the preferred frequency of administration is daily.
  • mesoprogestins are used as a component for the production of a pharmaceutical for female contraception.
  • They can be used either as single pharmaceutically active principle in female contraceptives or they can be used together with an estrogen.
  • the mesoprogestins are used in a regular, cyclical administration regime. This shall mean that the mesoprogestins are administered in identical and repeating administration cycles as long as contraception is desired.
  • a cycle starts with the administration of a mesoprogestin or mesoprogestin / estrogen containing dosage unit followed daily by further dosage units thereof. Each cycle is completed by a period in which no active dosage units mecanicpill-free" days) or in which placebos are administered.
  • the administration cycle can be completed by further administration of estrogen only containing dosage units.
  • a new application cycle starts on the first day after completion of theticianpill free" or placebo phase, respectively or after the phase in which estrogen only containing dosage units have been administered.
  • day 1 in the first administration cycle is the first day of bleeding in the female's menstrual cycle in which the contraceptive treatment starts.
  • One embodiment of the mesoprogestin only administration provides for administering the mesoprogestin containing dosage units up to day 180 at the maximum.
  • a reversible amenorrhoea is induced and maintained.
  • the contraceptive effect is due to endometrial effects (endometrial suppression) of the mesoprogestin. Consequently the endometrium is not prepared for implantation of a fertilized egg.
  • the dose of the mesoprogestin can also be ovulation inhibiting but this is not essential to achieve the contraceptive effect and to induce and maintain amenorrhoea.
  • mesoprogestin only administration takes place for 3 months at the maximum (this allows to check the contraceptive reliability of the method).
  • progesterone only pill and to subcutaneous implants loaded with a progestin (Norplant) less breakthrough bleedings are observed.
  • a next embodiment of the mesoprogestin only administration takes place continuously for more than 3 months, for example, 1-3 years. Since a mesoprogestin suppresses endometrial growth and prevents endometrial vessel fragility it can be used chronically. In addition a condition of chronic but reversible amenorrhea is achieved.
  • a next embodiment of the mesoprogestin only administration provides for administering the mesoprogestin containing dosage units up to day 21 , 22, 23, 24 or 25 either followed by a period of 7, 6, 5, 4 or 3 days during which no active compound is administered or followed by the administration of 7, 6, 5, 4 or 3 placebo pills so as to complete a 28 day long cycle.
  • the next cycle starts with the administration of a mesoprogestin containing dosage unit, etc.
  • the mesoprogestin acts like a progestin by blocking the ovulation and inducing amenorrhoea and triggering withdrawal bleeding. Breakthrough bleedings are not induced. The withdrawal bleeding is due to endometrial transformation induced by the mesoprogestin. Consequently, in this embodiment the mesoprogestin has to be administered, at least in the luteal phase of the female's menstrual cycle, in an ovulation-inhibiting dose.
  • a variant of the last mentioned embodiment is to administer dosage units containing mesoprogestin in an ovulation inhibiting dose exclusively during the luteal phase of the female's menstrual cycle (no administration in the follicular phase).
  • Amenorrhoea inducing doses of mesoprogestins can be determined by methods known to a person skilled in the art for example in clinical studies.
  • the daily dose of the mesoprogestin will be in the range of 1 to 25 mg.
  • both active components are administered from day 1 (see above) to day 21 , 22, 23, 24 or 25 of the female's menstrual cycle either followed by a period of 7, 6, 5, 4 or 3 days during which no active compound is administered or followed by the administration of 7, 6, 5, 4 or 3 only estrogen containing dosage units or followed by the administration of 7, 6, 5, 4 or 3 placebo pills, respectively so as to complete a 28 day long administration cycle.
  • the next cycle starts with the administration of a mesoprogestin/estrogen containing dosage unit, etc.
  • the estrogen is used in a daily amount of 10 to 30 ⁇ g ethinyl estradiol or a bioequivalent amount thereof.
  • Mesoprogestins can be used sequentially with a progestin.
  • the mesoprogestin component prevents breakthrough bleeding which is usually associated with chronic progestin treatment.
  • the progestin component at a dose used in so called "mini pill regimen" is administered for a period of 30-180 days, whereas the mesoprogestin component is administered for a period of 1-30 days.
  • menstrual bleeding may or may not occur.
  • progestin/mesoprogestin treatment the number of unscheduled bleeding is, however, markedly reduced.
  • a mesoprogestin in a discontinuous, non-cyclical administration regime is the use as a so-called demand pill which has to be administered only around the time point of sexual intercourse for which contraception is desired.
  • the administration is before sexual intercourse impartmedicinal condom").
  • a further aspect of the invention refers to a pharmaceutical combination product (composition) containing a mesoprogestin together with an estrogen.
  • a further aspect of the invention refers to a pharmaceutical combination product (composition) containing a mesoprogestin together with a progestin.
  • Yet another aspect of the invention deals with pharmaceutical preparations for female contraception comprising daily dosage units of a mesoprogestin.

  • mesoprogestins are defined as compounds possessing both agonistic and antagonistic activities at the progesterone receptor (PR) in vivo.
  • PR progesterone receptor
  • mesoprogestins show high binding affinity to PR.
  • mesoprogestins exhibit different pharmacodynamic properties compared to either progestins or antiprogestins.
  • the presence of progesterone agonistic activity in mesoprogestins measured in commonly used biological tests in vivo represents the key property of this novel class of PRMs. This activity remains, however, below that of progesterone in the plateau of the dose response curve.
  • Mesoprogestins fail to maintain pregnancy in ovariectomized pregnant rodents as mice and rats.
  • mesoprogestins to antagonize progesterone function is also tested in the McPhail test using a progesterone dose which induces a McPhail score ranging between 3 and 4.
  • a mesoprogestin inhibits the effect of progesterone to a significant degree, but the maximum inhibition is below that which is inducible with RU 486 or other pure antiprogestins (e.g. onapristone).
  • the mesoprogestins stabilize, therefore, the function of PR at an intermediate activity level providing the rationale for the novel clinical applications in gynecological therapy.
  • Corresponding functional states cannot be achieved with progestins or antiprogestins.
  • mesoprogestin tested J1042, J867, J956 reached the maximum effect of progesterone.
  • J956 showed a biphasic response in this test with a maximum effect of McPhail score 1.5 at 0.3-1 mg/rabbit.
  • the antiprogestagenic activity of J867, J956, J1042 and RU 486 was evaluated in estradiol-p med juvenile rabbits after 4 days of subcutaneous (s.c.) treatment in the presence of progesterone (1 mg/rabbit s.c).
  • the antiprogestagenic activity of mesoprogestins at higher clinically relevant doses doses i.e. 3-30 mg/rabbit was lower that that of RU 486.
  • the guinea pig is considered as relevant model of human gestation and parturition (Elger W, Fahnrich M, Beier S, Quing SS, Chwalisz K (1987).

Evaluation of antifertility activities of antigestagens in animal model.
  • Pregnant guinea pigs were treated on days 43 and 44 of pregnancy and observed until day 50 of gestation. For the effects of various treatments see table 1 and figure 3. It is typical for this model that expulsions occur with a delay of several days after treatment. It can be seen that Mesoprogestins have a much reduced abortifacient activity compared to RU486. The following ranking of abortifacient activity was found: RU486>J956>J867, J912>J1042. The differences with respect to abortifacient activity seem qualitative ones. It is not possible to overcome the low abortifacient activity of a Mesoprogestin by the use of a higher dose.
