Definitions

  • the instant invention involves a combination therapy comprising the administration of an 11 ?-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitor and an antihypertensive agent for treating, preventing and reducing the risk of developing insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity, hypertension and other related diseases and disorders.
  • the metabolic syndrome is a major global health problem.
  • the metabolic syndrome is characterized by a combination of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension leading to increased morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular diseases.
  • People with the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of developing frank type 2 diabetes mellitus, the frequency of which is equally escalating.
  • type 2 diabetes the combination of insulin resistance with obesity and dyslipidemia is also highly prevalent and around 70% of people with type 2 diabetes additionally have hypertension, once again leading to increased mortality of cardiovascular diseases.
  • 11 ?-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11 ?-HSD1 ) catalyses the local generation of active glucocorticoid in several tissues and organs including predominantly the liver and adipose tissue, but also e.g. skeletal muscle, bone, pancreas, endothelium, ocular tissue and certain parts of the central nervous system.
  • 11 ? ⁇ HSD1 serves as a local regulator of glucocorticoid actions in the tissues and organs where it is expressed (Tannin et al., J. Biol.
  • 11 ⁇ -HSD1 in the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes is supported by several lines of evidence.
  • treatment with the non-specific 11y#-HSD1 inhibitor carbenoxolone improves insulin sensitivity in lean healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes.
  • 11 MHSD1 knock-out mice are resistant to insulin resistance induced by obesity and stress.
  • the knock-out mice present with an anti-atherogenic lipid profile of decreased VLDL triglycerides and increased HDL-cholesterol.
  • mice that over-express 11 -HSD1 in adipocytes develop insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, visceral obesity and hypertension, a phenotype that resembles the human metabolic syndrome
  • 11 MHSD1 promotes the features of the metabolic syndrome by increasing hepatic expression of the rate-limiting enzymes in gluconeogenesis, namely phosphoenolpyuvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase, promoting the differentiation of preadipocytes into adipocytes thus facilitating obesity, directly and indirectly stimulating hepatic VLDL secretion, decreasing hepatic LDL uptake and increasing vessel contractility, presumably by decreasing the levels of endothelial nitric oxide synthase and consequently the levels of the vasodialating substance nitric oxide (Kotelevtsev et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94, 14924(1997); Morton et al., J. Biol. Chem. 276, 4
  • 11 ?-HSD1 inhibitors constitute a new therapeutic principle for the treatment of insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, obesity and hypertension.
  • monotherapeutic treatment of hypertension often lacks efficacy due, at least in part, to the induction of compensatory mechanisms.
  • the instant invention addresses this problem by providing a combination therapy comprising an 11 ?-HSD1 inhibitor and an antihypertensive agent for the treatment of e.g. the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
  • a combination therapy comprising an 11 ?-HSD1 inhibitor and an antihypertensive agent for the treatment of e.g. the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
  • the 11 7-HSD1 inhibitor together with the antihypertensive agent provide improved control of hypertension and/or improved treatment ofthe metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes thereby reducing the risk for late complications, e.g. cardiovascular diseases and nephropathy.
  • lesser dosage amounts of the 11 7-HSD1 inhibitor and more particularly the antihypertensive agent may be needed to achieve the desired clinical result, thereby resulting in improved safety.
