The entire teachings of the above applications are incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Endometriosis is one of the most frequent diseases of women in their reproductive lifespan. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, consisting histological of glands and stroma. The anatomical sites most often affected are the ovaries, uterosacral ligaments, pelvic peritoneum, rectovaginal septum, cervix, vagina, the fallopian tubes and vulva.

Endometriosis is considered to be a benign disease, but endometriotic lesions occasionally become malignant. As in other kind of malignancies, the development of endometriosis-derived neoplasms is due to concurrent events, involving alterations in growth factors and/or oncogenes regulation (Kyama et al. 2003). Further, endometriosis is considered as a major cause of infertility (Giudice et al. 2004).

The current treatment of endometriosis consists of hormonal therapy and/or surgery. Hormonal therapies include high dose of progestogens, progestins, oral contraceptives (combinations of estrogen and progesterone), Danazol (an androgenic derivative of ethisterone) and more recently GnRH agonists. These hormonal therapies are effective on pelvic pain and may induce an objective regression of lesions, but have several caveats. Estrogen may stimulate and cause proliferation of endometriotic tissue since it may be unable to respond to progesterone (Dawood et al, 1993). Progestational agents can provoke irregular bleeding along with depression, weight gain, and fluid retention. Danazol can improve symptoms in approximately 66-100% of the patients suffering from pain, but recurrence rates after up to 4 years are approximately 40%-50%. Other drawbacks of Danazol therapy are weight gain and androgenic side effects. GnRH analogs are more potent and long acting than native GnRH, which act by removing the estrogenic stimulus for the growth of all estrogen sensitive tissues. Side effects of GnRH analogs are mainly secondary to the profound hypoestrogenemia, like decreased bone density, and recurrence rate are up to 50% after 5 years (Waller et al., 1993). Further complicating treatment is the observation that endometriotic lesions in many patients either are or become resistant to the effects of progesterone and/or progestins. (Bulun et al. 2006).

Surgical intervention can be conservative, if fertility is desired, or can lead to the removal of the uterus, tubes and ovaries in case of severe disease. In any case, even limited surgical treatment leads to a significant decrease in fertility.

Although endometriosis stands as one of the most investigated disorders of gynecology, the current understanding of pathophysiology of the disease remains elusive. According to a favored theory, endometriotic lesions develop by eutopic endometrical cells leaving their primary site, possibly by retrograde menstruation, and implant at distant sites, followed by invasion of host tissue and proliferation. Furthermore, it appears that endometriosis is an invasive and metastasizing disease. Though endometriotic cells proliferate to a certain extent, they are not neoplastic as typically found in carcinomas. Apparently, endometriotic cells become senescent, apoptotic and necrotic. Inflammatory responses that are induced or accompanied by lesion formation finally lead to fibrosis and the formation of scars.

It has been speculated whether tumor or metastasis suppressor genes (e.g. E-cadherin) are associated with endometriosis. E-cadherin is a metastasis suppressor molecule, its down-regulation or functional inactivation is a prerequisite for invasion and metastasis (Frixen et al, 1991). Zeitvogel et al. (2001) showed that E-cadherin is absent and N-cadherin is present in endometriotic cells. N-cadherin is suggested to be the path-finding molecule that allows cells to be invasive and migratory in normal development and pathological processes.

Recently, it has been demonstrated that recombinant human TNFα binding protein (rh-TBP-1) is effective in reducing the size and severity of endometriotic lesions in an experimental model of endometriosis (D'Hooghe et al. 2001). These results were the first to demonstrate that an anti-inflammatory molecule (r-hTBP-1) that targeted the TNFα—pathway provided effective medical treatment for patients with endometriosis that did not inhibit ovulation.

Yoshino et al. (2004) showed that mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), which are intracellular signal transducers, mediate some of the effects exerted by proinflammatory cytokines Yoshino et al. further showed the presence of MAPks (e.g. ERK, JNK and p38) in endometriotic cells and their phosphorylation under inflammatory stimulation by IL-1β, TNFα and H2O2. MAPKs are serine/threonine kinases that are activated by dual phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine residues. In mammalian cells, there are at least three separate but parallel pathways that convey information generated by extra-cellular stimuli to the MAPKs. Said pathways consist of kinase cascades leading to activation of the ERKs (extracellular regulated kinases), the JNKs (c-Jun N-terminal kinases), and the p38/CSBP kinases (Dent et al 2003). c-Jun is a protein that forms homodimers and heterodimers (with e.g. c-Fos) to produce the transactivating complex AP-1, which is required for the activation of many genes (e.g. matrix metalloproteinases) involved in the inflammatory response.

The invention described herein clearly shows the unexpected result that inhibiting JNK, by means of a JNK inhibitor, reduces endometriotic-like foci in a rat and in nude mouse experimental models. A rat model also demonstrates that such effect is obtained by inhibiting the Natural Killer cells activity associated with the disease as well as reducing several cytokines found elevated in endometriosis. These cytokines are among others, IL-6 and IL-8 that are suggested to play a key role (Barcz et al., 2000). The JNK inhibitors described herein restore the sensitivity of endometrial cells and lesions to progesterone. Furthermore, the JNK inhibitors described herein used in combination with a SPRM or progestin can prevent re-establishment of endometriosis. The reduction of endometriotic lesions using JNK inhibitors can also improve fertility rates, since the normalization of genital structure has a positive effect on the implantation rate.

Several small molecules have been proposed as modulators of the JNK pathway. Aryl-oxindole derivatives of respectively the generic formula (A) (WO 00/35909; WO 00/35906; WO 00/35920) and formula (B) (WO 00/64872) have been developed for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, inflammation and solid tumors for formula (A) and for the treatment of a broad range of disorders including, neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular and bone disorders for formula (B).

Pyrazoloanthrones derivatives of formula (C) have been reported to inhibit JNK for the treatment of neurological degenerative diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders as well as cardiovascular pathologies (WO 01/12609).

Tetrahydro-pyrimidine derivatives of formula (D) were reported to be JNK inhibitors useful in the treatment of a wide range of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, cardiac and destructive bone pathologies (WO 00/75118).

Other heterocyclic compounds of formula (E) have been proposed to inhibit protein kinases and especially c-un-N-Terminal kinases (WO 01/12621) for treating “JNK-mediated conditions” including proliferative diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.

Benzazoles derivatives such as represented by formula (F) (WO 01/47920) have been described as modulators of the JNK pathway for the treatment of neuronal disorders, autoimmune diseases, cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

Several sulfonamide derivatives of formula (G) (WO 01/23378), sulfonyl amino acid derivatives of formula (H) (WO 01/23379) and sulfonyl hydrazide derivatives of formula (J) (WO 01/23382), were also developed to inhibit JNKs for treating neurodegenerative diseases, auto-immune disorders, cancers and cardiovascular diseases.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a method of treating and/or preventing endometriosis in an individual comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a JNK inhibitor.

The invention further relates to a method of treating and/or preventing endometriosis by combined treatment of hormonal suppressor (e.g. GnRH antagonists, GnRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, progesterone receptor modulators, estrogen receptor modulators) along with a JNK inhibitor.

The invention also relates to a method of treating endometriosis-related infertility in a female comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a JNK inhibitor, alone or in combination with other fertility drugs.

The invention finally relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a JNK inhibitor, a hormal suppressor and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1: Expression of N-cadherin and cytokeratin in endometriotic cells (12Z). Cells treated with JNK inhibitor were fixed with paraformaldehyde and stained for N-cadherin and cytokeratin. Cells were observed under fluorescent microscope (phase contrast and fluorescence pictures). Treating cells with a JNK inhibitor decreased the expression of N-cadherin. The expression of cytokeratin was not altered after treatment with the JNK inhibitor.

FIG. 2: Effect of a JNK inhibitor on the growth of endometriotic-like foci in experimentally induced endometriosis in rats. The effect of the JNK inhibitor given at a dose of 10 mg/kg was not different from the vehicle. 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg doses showed a significant regression of established endometriotic lesions.

FIG. 3: Effect of JNK inhibitor on cytokines in endometriotic-like foci in the rat endometriosis model. The JNK inhibitor reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines, IL-12, INF-γ, IL-10 and MCP-1 in the endometriotic foci.

FIG. 4: Effect of JNK inhibitor on cytokines in the contralateral horn in experimentally induced endometriosis in rats. No effect of the JNK inhibitor on cytokine expression was observed.

FIG. 5: Effect of JNK inhibitor on NK-cell activity in the rat endometriosis model. Treatment with a JNK inhibitor increased NK cell activity compared to the vehicle treated group.

Said compounds can also be administered as pharmaceutically acceptable quaternary salts known by a person skilled in the art, which specifically include the quarter-nary ammonium salt of the formula —NR,R′,R″+ Z−, wherein R, R′, R″ is independently hydrogen, alkyl, or benzyl, and Z is a counterion, including chloride, bromide, iodide, —O-alkyl, toluenesulfonate, methylsulfonate, sulfonate, phosphate, or carboxylate (such as benzoate, succinate, acetate, glycolate, maleate, malate, fumarate, citrate, tartrate, ascor-bate, cinnamoate, mandeloate, and diphenylacetate).

“Pharmaceutically active derivative” refers to any compound that upon administration to the recipient, is capable of providing directly or indirectly, the activity disclosed herein.

The “tautomers” of the compounds according to formula I are only those wherein R2 and/or R0 are hydrogen and which display the formulae (Ia) and (Ib).

“Enantiomeric excess” (ee) refers to the products that are obtained by an asymmetric synthesis, i.e. a synthesis involving non-racemic starting materials and/or reagents or a synthesis comprising at least one enantioselective step, whereby a surplus of one enantiomer in the order of at least about 52% ee is yielded.

“Aromatase Inhibitors” refers to drugs that inhibit the enzyme aromatase and by that lowers the level of the estradiol. Preferred aromatase inhibitors include by way of example anastrozole, letrozole, vorozole and exemestane.

“Estrogen receptor modulators (SERM)” refers to drugs that block the actions of estrogen by occupying the estrogen receptors on cells. SERMS also include estrogen receptor beta antagonists and estrogen receptor beta agonists. Preferred SERMs include by way of example Tamoxifen, Raloxifen.

“GnRH antagonists” refers to synthetic GnRH analogues, which are drugs that competitively block the pituitary GnRH receptor, which is located on the plasma membrane of gonadotrophs, inducing a rapid, reversible suppression of gonadotrophin secretion. Preferred GnRH antagonists include by way of example Cetrorelix, Ganirelix.

“GnRH agonists” refers to decapeptide modifications of the natural hormone GnRH, which are drugs that desensitize GnRH receptors of the pituitary gland at continued exposure, which causes an initial stimulation of the pituitary-ovarian axis, followed by a reduction in circulating serum gonadotrophin concentration and inhibition of ovarian function. Preferred GnRH agonists include by way of example Buserelin acetate, Nafarelin, Leuprolide, Triptorelin, Goserelin.

“JNK” means a protein or an isoform thereof expressed by a JNK 1, JNK 2, or JNK 3 gene (Gupta et al. 1996).

“JNK-inhibitor” refers to a compound, a peptide or a protein that inhibits c-jun amino terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation of a JNK targeted transcription factor. The JNK-inhibitor is an agent capable of inhibiting the activity of JNK in vitro or in vivo. Such inhibitory activity can be determined by an assay or animal model well-known in the art.

“Progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs)”: The progesterone receptor, a member of the superfamily of nuclear receptors, is the receptor for progesterone that plays a pivotal role in female reproduction. Selective progesterone receptor modulators are drugs that can have agonist, antagonist or partial (mixed) agonist/antagonist activities depending upon the site of action. A preferred SPRM includes by way of example asoprisnil.

One embodiment of the present invention is to provide a method of treating and/or preventing endometriosis in an individual comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a JNK inhibitor.

Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a method of treating and/or preventing endometriosis by sequential or combined treatment of a hormonal suppressor (e.g. GnRH antagonists, GnRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, progesterone receptor modulators, estrogen receptor modulators) along with a JNK inhibitor.

Second or subsequent administrations of therapeutically effective amounts can be performed at a dosage which is the same, less than or greater than the initial or previous dose administered to the individual. Second or subsequent administrations can be administered during or prior to relapse of the endometriosis or the related symptoms. The terms “relapse” or “reoccurrence” are defined to encompass the appearance of one or more of symptoms of endometriosis.

In another embodiment, the invention relates to a method of treating endometriosis-related infertility in a female comprising the administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a JNK inhibitor, alone or in combination with other fertility drugs.

In a further embodiment, the sequential or combined treatment regimen minimizes the disease by suppressing endocrine-dependent cells.

Another embodiment of the present invention consists of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a JNK inhibitor, a hormal suppressor (e.g. GnRH antagonists, GnRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, progesterone receptor modulators, estrogen receptor modulators) and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Another embodiment of the present invention consists of the use of a JNK inhibitor in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of endometriosis.

The term “preventing”, as used herein, should be understood as partially or totally preventing, inhibiting, alleviating, or reversing one or more symptoms or cause(s) of endometriosis.

A proposed model for progression of endometriotic disease predicts that lesions progress from benign inflammatory lesions responsive to endocrine intervention to partially or completely hormonally unresponsive lesions that involve upregulated survival pathways in addition to inflammatory pathways.

Therefore, in one embodiment, the JNK inhibitor may interfere with survival pathways in endometriosis.

Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of a JNK inhibitor together with a hormal suppressor (e.g. GnRH antagonists, GnRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, progesterone receptor modulators, estrogen receptor modulators) and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment and/or prevention of endometriosis.

The use of a JNK inhibitor together with a hormal suppressor (e.g. GnRH antagonists, GnRH agonists, aromatase inhibitors, progesterone receptor modulators, estrogen receptor modulators) can be a sequential or a combined use of the JNK inhibitor and the hormal suppressor.

Another embodiment of the invention, relates to the use of a JNK inhibitor, alone or in combination with other drugs, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of endometriosis-related infertility.

In particular, when endometriosis-related infertility is intended to be treated or cured, biologically active human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), luteinizing hormone (LH) or follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), either in a natural highly purified or in a recombinant form, can be administered. Such molecules and methods of their production have been described in the European Patent Applications EP 160,699, EP 211,894 and EP 322,438.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can be administered by a variety of routes including oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular and intranasal. The compositions for oral administration can take the form of bulk liquid solutions or suspensions, or bulk powders. More commonly, however, the compositions are presented in unit dosage forms to facilitate accurate dosing. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. Typical unit dosage forms include prefilled, premeasured ampoules or syringes of the liquid compositions or pills, tablets, capsules or the like in the case of solid compositions. In such compositions, the JNK inhibitor is usually a minor component (from about 0.1 to about 50% by weight or preferably from about 1 to about 40% by weight) with the remainder being various vehicles or carriers and processing aids helpful for forming the desired dosing form.

Liquid forms suitable for oral administration may include a suitable aqueous or nonaqueous vehicle with buffers, suspending and dispensing agents, colorants, flavors and the like.

Solid forms may include, for example, any of the following ingredients, or compounds of a similar nature: a binder such as microcrystalline cellulose, gum tragacanth or gelatine; an excipient such as starch or lactose, a disintegrating agent such as alginic acid, Primogel, or corn starch; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; a glidant such as colloidal silicon dioxide; a sweetening agent such as sucrose or saccharin; or a flavoring agent such as pepper-mint, methyl salicylate, or orange flavoring.

Injectable compositions are typically based upon injectable sterile saline or phosphate-buffered saline or other injectable carriers known in the art. As above-mentioned, the JNK inhibitor in such compositions is typically a minor component, frequently ranging between 0.05 to 10% by weight with the remainder being the injectable carrier and the like.

The above-described components for orally administered or injectable compositions are merely representative. Further materials as well as processing techniques and the like are set out in Part 5 of Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 20t1 Edition, 2000, Marck Publishing Company, Easton, Pa., which is incorporated herein by reference.

The compounds of this invention can also be administered in sustained release forms or from sustained release drug delivery systems. A description of representative sustained release materials can also be found in the incorporated materials in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences.

The definition of “pharmaceutically acceptable” is meant to encompass any carrier, which does not interfere with effectiveness of the biological activity of the active ingredient and that is not toxic to the host to which it is administered. For example, for parenteral administration, JNK inhibitor may be formulated in a unit dosage form for injection in vehicles such as saline, dextrose solution, serum albumin and Ringer's solution.

For parenteral (e.g. intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular) administration, JNK inhibitors can be formulated as a solution, suspension, emulsion or lyophilized powder in association with a pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral vehicle (e.g. water, saline, dextrose solution) and additives that maintain isotonicity (e.g. mannitol) or chemical stability (e.g. preservatives and buffers). The formulation is sterilized by commonly used techniques.

The therapeutically effective amounts of a JNK inhibitor will be a function of many variables, including the type of inhibitor, the affinity of the inhibitor for JNK, any residual cytotoxic activity exhibited by the JNK inhibitor, the route of administration or the clinical condition of the patient.

A “therapeutically effective amount” is such that when administered, the JNK inhibitor results in inhibition of the biological activity of JNK. The dosage administered, as single or multiple doses, to an individual will vary depending upon a variety of factor, including JNK inhibitor pharmacokinetic properties, the route of administration, patient conditions and characteristics (sex, age, body weight, health, size), extent of symptoms, concurrent treatments, frequency of treatment and the effect desired. Adjustment and manipulation of established dosage ranges are well within the ability of those skilled, as well as in vitro and in vivo methods of determining the inhibition of JNK in an individual.

The JNK inhibitors may be of formula (I)

The compounds of formula (III) may be obtained according to the methods described in any of WO 01/23378, WO 02/28856 and WO 02/26733.

In a further embodiment the JNK inhibitors may be a pyrazoloanthrone derivative as shown in formula (C) (WO 01/12609):

In a further embodiment the JNK inhibitors may have the formula (IV) (WO 03/018022):

The present invention will now be illustrated by the example, which is not intended to be limiting in any way.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Models for Endometriosis

The effect of the JNK inhibitor was evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo models of endometriosis. The efficacy of the drug treatment in inhibiting endometriosis was tested in two in vivo models, i) nude mouse model and ii) the rat model and an in vitro proliferative organ culture model.

Example 1.1 N-Cadherin Expression

For in vitro studies, human endometriotic cells (12Z) were used (Zeitvogel et al 2001). These cells are invasive and express N-cadherin, whereas less invasive cells have lower levels of N-cadherin. These cells were treated with the JNK inhibitor and cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde. Fixed cells were stained for N-cadherin and cytokeratin using specific antibodies against these proteins, followed by second antibody conjugated to Alexafluor (a fluorochrome). Cells were observed under fluorescent microscope and both phase contrast and fluorescent pictures were taken. FIG. 1 represents the expression patterns of cytokeratin and N-cadherin in these cells. Treating cells with the JNK inhibitor decreased the expression of N-cadherin (FIG. 1), showing that this pathway is involved in the regulation of N-cadherin expression and invasive activity of endometriosis. On the other hand, expression of cytokeratin, a marker for epithelial cells was not altered following the treatment with the compound (FIG. 1). This shows that only endometriotic cells are affected by treatment with the JNK inhibitor, whereas epithelial cells are not affected. Thus, by blocking the JNK pathway, the invasive properties associated with endometriosis can be specifically inhibited and thus be very useful for treating endometriosis.

Example 1.2 Nude Mouse Model

Human endometrial tissue was injected in ovarectomized nude mice to establish the disease (Bruner-Tran et al 2002). In brief, endometrial biopsies obtained from normal volunteers or from endometriotic patients were cut into small pieces and cultured in the presence of estradiol for 24 h. Treated tissues, were injected either subcutaenously or intraperitoneally into ovarectomized nude mice with estradiol implant. Within 2-4 days of injection, ectopic endometriotic lesions developed in animals. Treatment with either progesterone or a JNK inhibitor was started 10-12 days following the injection of tissue. The compound was administered at a dose of 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg/animal for 30 days. Earlier work using this model has established that progesterone treatment prevents disease progression, hence this was used as control. Following the completion of treatment, animals were sacrificed, lesions developed from the transplanted tissue found in both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal sites, were measured (both size and number).

Table 1 below, illustrates the results of studies carried out as described above. The JNK inhibitor at a dose of 30 mg/kg was effective in regressing the established disease in 50% animals compared to progesterone treatment. The mean lesion size was also reduced by 20% by the treatment. In another experiment conducted with TBP, about 60% reduction in number of animals having the disease was observed compared to the positive control, progesterone, without any effect on lesion size. These results are significant, since the model measures the growth/regression of human endometrial tissue and thus has a direct relevance for treating the human disease.

Lesion (% Progesterone) Compared to progesterone Treatment treated group Lesion size JNK inhibitor 50% Decrease 20% Decrease 30 mg/kg × 30 days TBP-1 (control) 60% Decrease No change 5 mg/kg × 30 days

In another experiment in nude mice, human endometrial tissue was obtained from endometriotic patients, and cultured in the presence of either estradiol alone, estradiol plus medroxy progesterone acetate (MPA) or JNK inhibitor for 24 h. Treated tisses were then injected either subcutaneously or intraperitoneally into ovarectomized mice with estradiol implant. Within 2-4 days of injection, ectopic endometriotic lesions developed in animals. At 10-12 days following injection of tissue, treatment was begun with either MPA alone, JNK inhibitor alone or MPA plus JNK inhibitor. The JNK inhibitor was administered at a dose of 30/mg/kg/animal for 30 days. Following the completion of treatment, animals were sacrificed, lesions developed from the transplanted tissue found in both subcutaneous and intraperitoneal sites were measured in both size and number. Treatment with a combination of MPA and JNK inhibitor of formula 1 led to a reduction in the lesion load of approximately 50% with a reduction in lesion size of about 15 to 30% as compared to the lesion load and size of those treated with estradiol alone. These results indicate that the combination of a JNK inhibitor of formula 1 in combination with a progestin would be effective in treating and/or preventing endometriosis.

Example 1.3 Rat Model

Endometriosis was induced in rats as described earlier (D'Antonio et al 2000). In brief, autologous uterine horn fragment was transplanted onto the inner surface of the abdominal wall in rat. Three weeks following transplantation, the size and the viability of the engrafted tissue was measured. One week after the confirmation of the tissue attachment, treatments were started. The control group received the vehicle only. The JNK inhibitor was administered orally (po) at doses of 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg per day. Treatment with JNK inhibitor was conducted for nine days, animals were anaesthetized 2 hr following the last treatment and blood samples were collected. Surface area of the endometriosis-like foci was measured, endometriotic-like foci flushed with PBS and contralateral uterine flushing was also collected for measuring cytokine. The endometriotic-like foci and spleen was removed for histology and for NK cell activity measurement respectively. In this model, the effect of the JNK inhibitor at 10 mg/kg dose was not different from the vehicle, but at 30 mg/kg and 60 mg/kg a significant regression of established endometriotic lesions was observed (FIG. 2). Treatment with antide (for comparison) showed about 85% regression (data not shown).

Example 1.4 Rat Model/Determination of Cytokine Levels

Of additional significance from these recent studies are modifications in cytokine levels measured in either the endometriotic foci or in the contralateral uterine horn without any lesion. The effect of the JNK inhibitor on the cytokine levels was determined in the rat model (see Example 1.3). The results demonstrate that treatment with the JNK inhibitor reduced the levels of inflammatory cytokines, IL-12, INF-γ, IL-10 and MCP-1 in the endometriotic foci (FIG. 3). These cytokines have been previously reported to be elevated in peritoneal fluid of women with disease. In the contralateral horn, the JNK inhibitor was without effect on the cytokine expression (FIG. 4). In addition, inhibitor treatment increased NK cell activity compared to the vehicle treated group (FIG. 5). A reduced lymphocyte cytolytic activity has been observed in women with endometriosis. Therefore, these results suggest that an increase in the NK cell cytolytic activity due to the JNK inhibitor treatment may contribute to the elimination of ectopic endometrium. Further, these results with JNK inhibitors suggest that the effects of the inhibitor may treat the diseased tissue without affecting portions of the uterus or peritoneal cavity without disease.

The immune system of the rat in this model is intact, suggesting that if molecules had as a primary mechanism to affect only an immune-modulated pathway of the host, that the effects of the molecules in this model should have been stronger than observed in nude mice. In fact, these results from nude mouse and rat models suggest an important activity of the molecule directly on the endometriotic tissue or in immune cell populations that remain in nude mice. Another important distinction of the rat model is that intact myometrial and endometrial tissues are surgically resected into experimental animals. Taken together, results from these two model systems show that kinase inhibitors which target JNK pathway are involved in endometriosis and can be effective agents for treatment of disease.

Example 1.5 Proliferative Organ Culture Model

Normal endometrial tissues were acquired just prior to ovulation by biopsy from a donor population (no history of endometriosis) and from women with surgically confirmed endometriosis. Informed consent was obtained prior to biopsy and the use of human tissues was approved by Vanderbilt University's Institutional Review Board and Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects.

Endometrial biopsies were dissected into small cubes (˜1×1 mm3) and 8-10 pieces of tissue per treatment group were suspended in tissue culture inserts. Organ cultures were maintained a total of 72 hrs at 37° C. in DME/F-12 media with serum supplements. Tissue treatments included 17β-estradiol (E), E plus progesterone (P), or E plus medroxy progesterone acetate (MPA) with and without the JNK inhibitor. Cultures were maintained for 24 hours in E only until the initiation of experimental conditions. JNK inhibitor was used at a concentration of 5 or 15 μM and MPA was used at a concentration of 50, 100 or 250 μM.

Media was collected from organ cultures and secreted proteins quantified using the Coomassie Plus Protein Assay (Pierce) and 20 μg total protein subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE. Proteins were transferred to PVDF membrane and blocked in PBS with 10% non-fat milk and 0.05% Tween-20. Blots were incubated overnight at 4° C. in PBS/Milk/Tween with a primary antibody recognizing human MMP-3, which is a marker for endometrial tissue, washed and incubated with secondary antibody for one hour. Proteins were visualized by chemiluminesence (Amersham) and autoradiography. As a negative control, identical blots were incubated without a primary antibody.

Results showed that the normal human endometrial cultures were sensitive to MPA treatment, in contrast to endometrial cultures obtained from endometriosis patients, which failed to regress with MPA alone. When a JNK inhibitor of formula 1 was combined with MPA treatment, the sensitivity to MPA was restored in the cultures obtained from endometriosis patients and maintained in the cultures obtained from normal volunteers.

These results indicate that co-administration of a progestin with a JNK (inhibitor of formula 1 would treat and prevent the re-establishment of endometriosis.
