MetAP-2 inhibitor polymersomes for therapeutic administration
The present invention provides methods to treating inflammation related disease and disorders such as an autoimmune disease and autoimmune related uveitis by administering compositions and formulations comprising MetAP-2 inhibitors as disclosed herein. The composition comprises a formulation of a fumagillol derivative that retains anti-inflammation activity and is associated with a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic polymer moiety and a hydrophobic polymer moiety.
1. A method of treating an autoimmune disease in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising orally administering a formulation comprising micelles comprised of a fumagillol derivative having anti-inflammation activity, wherein the fumagillol derivative is covalently associated with a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic polymer moiety and a hydrophobic polymer moiety, wherein said hydrophilic moiety is a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer and said hydrophobic polymer moiety of said block copolymer is poly(d,L-lactic acid) (PLA).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fumagillol derivative comprises a derivative selected from the group consisting of 6-O—(N-chloroacetylcarbamoyl) fumagillol (TNP-470), 6-O-(4-methoxyaniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(3,4, 5-trimethexyaniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(4-(N,N-dimethylethoxy) aniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(cyclopropylamino) acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(cyclobutylamino)acetyl fumagillol; 4-((cyclopropylamino)acetyl) oxy-2-(1,2-epoxy-1,5 20 dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-3-methoxy-1-chloromethyl-1 cyclohexanol; 4-((cyclobutylamino)acetyl) oxy-2-(1,2-epoxy-1,5 dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-3-methoxy-1-chloromethyl-1-cyclohexanol.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fumagillol derivative is covalently linked to said hydrophobic polymer moiety of said block copolymer.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the autoimmune disease results in inflammation of the eye.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the inflammation is uveitis.
6. A method of treating autoimmune uveitis in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising orally administering a formulation comprising micelles comprised of a fumagillol derivative having anti-proliferation activity and anti-inflammation activity, wherein the fumagillol derivative is covalently associated with a block copolymer comprising a hydrophilic polymer moiety and a hydrophobic polymer moiety, wherein said hydrophilic moiety is a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) polymer and said hydrophobic polymer moiety of said block copolymer is poly(d,L-lactic acid) (PLA).
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein said fumagillol derivative comprises a derivative selected from the group consisting of 6-O—(N-chloroacetylcarbamoyl) fumagillol (TNP-470), 6-O-(4-methoxyaniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(3,4, 5-trimethexyaniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(4-(N,N-dimethylethoxy) aniline)acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(cyclopropylamino) acetyl fumagillol; 6-O-(cyclobutylamino)acetyl fumagillol; 4-((cyclopropylamino)acetyl) oxy-2-(1,2-epoxy-1,5 20 dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-3-methoxy-1-chloromethyl-1 cyclohexanol; 4-((cyclobutylamino)acetyl) oxy-2-(1,2-epoxy-1,5 dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-3-methoxy-1-chloromethyl-1-cyclohexanol.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein said fumagillol derivative is covalently linked to said hydrophobic polymer moiety of said block copolymer.
