Novel PPAR ligands that do not cause fluid retention, edema or congestive heart failure
Abstract
Methods are provided for treating or prophylactically preventing metabolic disorders in humans without causing, promoting, or aggravating fluid retention, peripheral edema, pulmonary edema, or congestive heart failure, by administration of a therapeutically effective amount of a compound sufficient to partially or fully activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) and partially or fully inhibit, antagonize or block the activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptors. Metabolic disorders that can be treated or prevented include but are not limited to type 2 diabetes, the metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and other insulin resistance syndromes. Compounds are provided that antagonize or block the angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) receptor, function as partial or full activators of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs), can be used to treat or prevent diseases known to be treatable or preventable by PPAR activators and were not previously recognized to be therapeutic targets for angiotensin II receptor antagonists.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method for treating or limiting the rate of progression of polycystic kidney disease, comprising orally administering to a mammal in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound sufficient to (a) at least partially activate peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) and (b) at least partially inhibit, antagonize or block an activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptors, wherein the therapeutically effective amount is about 20 mg to about 1000 mg.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is administered in a pharmaceutically acceptable form.
3 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is telmisartan or an analog thereof.
4 . The method of claim 1 wherein the polycystic kidney disease is autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and the compound is telmisartan.
5 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is telmisartan and the effective daily orally administered dose of telmisartan is about 80 mg.
6 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is telmisartan and the effective daily orally administered dose of telmisartan is about 160 mg.
7 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is telmisartan and the telmisartan is administered in combination with ramipril.
8 . The method of claim 1 wherein the compound is telmisartan and the telmisartan is administered in combination with lisinopril.
9 . The method of claim 7 wherein 1 part by weight of telmisartan is administered in combination with 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of ramipril.
10 . The method of claim 8 wherein 1 part by weight of telmisartan is administered in combination with 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of lisinopril.
11 . The method of claim 9 wherein the telmisartan and the ramipril are administered as separate compositions.
12 . The method of claim 9 wherein the telmisartan and the ramipril are administered as a single composition.
13 . The method of claim 10 wherein the telmisartan and the lisinopril are administered as separate compositions.
14 . The method of claim 10 wherein the telmisartan and the lisinopril are administered as a single composition.
15 . The method of claim 1 wherein the mammal is a human child, adolescent or adult.
16 . A composition comprising 1 part by weight of telmisartan and 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of ramipril.
17 . A composition comprising 1 part by weight of telmisartan and 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of lisinopril.
18 . An article of manufacture comprising a composition comprising 1 part by weight of telmisartan and a composition comprising 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of ramipril.
19 . The article of manufacture of claim 18 wherein the telmisartan and the ramipril are in separate compositions.
20 . The article of manufacture of claim 18 wherein the telmisartan and the ramipril are in a single composition.
21 . An article of manufacture comprising a composition comprising 1 part by weight of telmisartan and a composition comprising 0.01 to 100 parts by weight of lisinopril.
22 . The article of manufacture of claim 21 wherein the telmisartan and the lisinopril are in separate compositions.
23 . The article of manufacture of claim 21 wherein the telmisartan and the lisinopril are in a single composition.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
