  • Publication number: 20160228410
    Abstract: The present invention provides the compound Ormeloxifene [3,4-trans-2,2-dimethyl-3-phenyl-4-p-(beta-pyrrolidinoethoxy)phenyl-7-methoxy chroman] as useful in inducing differentiation in wide range of myeloid leukemias including acute promyelocytic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia and chronic myeloid leukemia where block in differentiation is common feature. Ormeloxifene induced differentiation that is marked by increase in differentiation marker proteins like C/EBP? and surface proteins such as cd11b and granulocyte colony stimulating factor receptor (GCSFr). Differentiated cells having neutrophil like morphology were observed when treated with 1.0 uM to 7.5 uM ORM which clearly indicates that ORM can induce differentiation in myeloid leukemia cells. At higher doses (5 uM to 7.5 uM) there is early onset of myeloid differentiation (24 to 48 h) with reduced no. of cells which is likely due to apoptotic effects of ORM at higher does.

    Abstract: An HDAC6 inhibitor (a compound of Formula I) is shown to reduce the pathogenesis associated with the B cell mediated autoimmune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Administration of a compound of Formula I attenuated many of the symptoms characteristic of SLE including splenomegaly, abnormal B cell differentiation, an increase in the number double-negative thymic T cells, an increase in the level of auto-antibodies such as anti-dsDNA, immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis and an increase in inflammatory cytokine production. Treatment with a compound of Formula I also increased the number of the subject's splenic Treg cells while removing circulating auto-antibodies Inhibition of HDAC6 altered bone marrow B cell differentiation by increasing the percentage of cells in the early-stage developmental fractions of both pro- and pre-B cells. These results demonstrate HDAC6 inhibition with a compound of Formula I can treat SLE disease by altering aberrant T and B cell differentiation.
