Description:
Therapeutic Combinations for Cardiovascular and Inflammatory Indications BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This application claims priority to U. S. Provisional Application No. 60/279, 239 ('239) filed on March 28,2001 before the United States Patent & Trademark Office. The above-noted/239 U. S. Provisional Application is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety for all purposes.

Field of the Invention The present invention relates to methods of treating cardiovascular, inflammatory and other diseases, and specifically relates to combinations of compounds, compositions, and methods for their use in medicine, particularly in the prophylaxis and treatment of hyperlipidemic or inflammatory conditions such as are associated with atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia, coronary plaque inflammation and other cardiovascular diseases in mammals. More particularly, the invention relates to apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport inhibitors, cyclooxygenase inhibitors (e. g., cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors), and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.

Description of Related Art It is well-settled in the literature that hyperlipidemic conditions associated with elevated concentrations of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol are major risk factors for coronary heart disease and particularly atherosclerosis.

More recently, the role of inflammation in cardiovascular diseases has become much better understood. These findings serve to point out the acute need for

prophylactic and therapeutic strategies for cardiovascular disease that are effective in simultaneously controlling both inflammatory and hyperlipidemic conditions.

The non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are known to prevent the formation of prostaglandins by inhibiting enzymes in the human arachidonic acid/prostaglandin pathway, in particular the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). For this reason the NSAIDs are effective in reducing the prostaglandin-induced pain and swelling associated with inflammatory processes. The recent discovery that there are two isoforms of the COX enzyme, COX-1 and COX-2, has given rise to new approaches for NSAID discovery and utilization, because it has been shown that COX-2 is the isoform specifically induced in many inflamed tissues. Many compounds have been identified which have activity as COX-2 inhibitors. A recent review of COX-2 selective inhibitors is provided by Carty and Marfat (Current Opinion in Anti-inflammatory & Immunomodulatory Investigational Drugs, 1 (20), 89-96 (1999)).

Atherosclerosis underlies most manifestations of coronary artery disease (CAD), a major cause of morbidity and mortality in modern society. High LDL cholesterol (above about 180 mg/dl) and low HDL cholesterol (below 35 mg/dl) have been shown to be important contributors to the development of atherosclerosis. Other diseases or risk factors, such as peripheral vascular disease, stroke, and hypercholesterolemia are also negatively affected by adverse HDL/LDL ratios.

A metabolic equilibrium generally exists between hepatic cholesterol and the bile acid pool. Interruption of the enterohepatic recirculation of bile acids results in a decrease in the liver bile acid pool and stimulates increased hepatic synthesis of bile acids from

cholesterol, eventually depleting the liver's pool of esterified cholesterol. In order to maintain the liver cholesterol levels necessary to support bile acid synthesis, de novo synthesis of cholesterol increases in hepatocytes via an up-regulation of the activity of 3- hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase), while liver uptake of serum cholesterol is increased as a result of the up-regulation of the number of hepatic cell surface receptors for low density lipoprotein cholesterol. The latter increase in hepatic receptors directly leads to a reduction in serum LDL cholesterol levels. Abundant epidemiological data have accumulated which indicate that such reduction leads to significant mitigation of the disease symptoms of atherosclerosis. The discovery of specific ASBT inhibitors is further reviewed by Booker and Arbeeny (Cardiovasc. Pulmon. Renal Invest. Drugs, 2,208- 215 (2000)).

Various benzothiepine inhibitors of bile acid absorption have been disclosed by G. D. Searle (PCT Pat.

Appl. WO 93/321146) for numerous uses, including regulation of fatty acid metabolism and treatment of coronary vascular disease.

PCT patent application No. WO 92/18462 lists other benzothiepines for use as hypolipemic and hypocholesterolemic agents. Each of the benzothiepine hypolipemic and hypocholesterolemic agents described in these individual patent applications is limited by an amide bonded to the carbon adjacent the phenyl ring of the fused bicyclobenzothiepine ring.

PCT patent application no. WO 93/16055, which describes a number of hypolipidemic benzothiazepine compounds. Additional hypolipidemic benzothiazepine compounds (particularly 2,3,4,5-tetrahydrobenzo-1-thi-4-

azepine compounds) are disclosed in another PCT patent application no. WO 96/05188. Further hypolipidemic benzothiazepine compounds are also described in another world patent application (28).

Further ASBT inhibitor compounds include a class of lignan derivatives as described by Takashima et al.

(Atherosclerosis, 107,247-257 (1994)).

Another approach to the reduction of total cholesterol relies on the understanding that HMG-CoA reductase catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol (The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., J. G. Hardman and L. E. Limberd, ed., McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, pp. 884-888 (1996)). HMG- CoA reductase inhibitors (including the class of therapeutics commonly called"statins") reduce blood serum levels of LDL cholesterol by competitive inhibition of this biosynthetic step.

Numerous antihyperlipidemic agents having other modes of action also have been disclosed in the literature as being useful for the treatment of hyperlipidemic conditions and disorders. These agents include, for example, commercially available drugs such as nicotinic acid, bile acid sequestrants including cholestryramine and colestipol, probucol, and fibric acid derivatives including gemfibrozil and clofibrate.

Some combination therapies for the treatment of cardiovascular disease have been described in the literature. A combinations of an ASBT inhibitor with HMG- a CoA reductase inhibitor useful for the treatment of cardiovascular disease is disclosed in PCT patent application no. WO 98/40375.

PCT Patent Application No. WO 99/20110 describes a therapeutic combination of a COX-2 selective inhibitor with an HMG Co-A reductase inhibitor.

While the above references indicate the value of the known combination therapies in reducing the impact of hyperlipidemia on cardiovascular disease, there is a continuing urgent need to find safe, effective agents for the prophylaxis or treatment of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases involving both inflammatory and hyperlipidemic conditions. The novel combinations of the present invention exhibit improved efficacy, improved potency, and/or reduced dosing requirements for the active compounds relative to combination regimens previously disclosed in the published literature.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To address the continuing need to find safe and effective agents for the prophylaxis and treatment of cardiovascular and other diseases, combination therapies of anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperlipidemic drugs are now disclosed.

Further scope of the applicability of the present invention will become apparent from the detailed description provided below. However, it should be understood that the following detailed description and examples, while indicating preferred embodiments of the invention, are given by way of illustration only, since various changes and modifications within the spirit and scope of the invention will become apparent from this detailed description to those skilled in the art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following detailed description is provided to aid those skilled in the art in practicing the present invention. Even so, this detailed description should not be construed to unduly limit the present invention, inasmuch as modifications and variations in the embodiments discussed herein can be made by those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit or scope of the present inventive discovery.

The contents of each of the references cited herein, including the contents of the references cited within these primary references, are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes. a. Definitions The following definitions are provided in order to aid the reader in understanding the detailed description of the present invention: The term"subject"as used herein refers to an animal, preferably a mammal, and particularly a human being, who has been the object of treatment, observation or experiment.

The terms"dosing"and"treatment"refer to any process, action, application, therapy, or the like, wherein a subject, and particularly a human being, is rendered medical aid with the object of improving the subject's condition, either directly or indirectly.

"Therapeutic compound"means a compound useful in the prophylaxis or treatment of a hyperlipidemic and/or inflammatory condition, including atherosclerosis, plaque inflammation and hypercholesterolemia.

"Combination therapy"means the administration of two or more therapeutic compounds to treat a hyperlipidemic and/or inflammatory condition, for example atherosclerosis, plaque inflammation, and hypercholesterolemia. Such administration encompasses co- administration of these therapeutic compounds in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of active ingredients or in multiple, separate capsules for each compound. In addition, such administration also encompasses use of each type of therapeutic compound in a sequential manner. In either case, the treatment regimen will provide beneficial

effects of the drug combination in treating the cardiovascular or other condition.

The term"therapeutic combinationn refers to the administered therapeutic compounds themselves and to any pharmaceutically acceptable carriers used to provide dosage forms such that the beneficial effect of each therapeutic compound is realized by the subject at the desired time, whether the compounds are administered substantially simultaneously or sequentially.

The phrase"therapeutically effective"is intended to qualify the combined amount of therapeutic compounds in the combination therapy. This combined amount will achieve the goal of avoiding or reducing or eliminating the hyperlipidemic condition and/or inflammatory condition.

The terms"cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor"and "COX-2 selective inhibitor/'interchangeably refer to a therapeutic compound which preferentially inhibits the COX-2 isoform of the enzyme cyclooxygenase.

The terms"cyclooxygenase-2 nonselective inhibitor" and"COX-2 nonselective inhibitor"interchangeably refer to a therapeutic compound which comparably inhibits both the COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms of the enzyme cyclooxygenase.

The term"prodrug"refers to a chemical compound that can be converted into a therapeutic compound by metabolic or simple chemical processes within the body of the subject. For example, a class of prodrugs of COX-2 inhibitors is described in US Patent No. 5,932,598, herein incorporated by reference. b. Combinations The combinations of the present invention will have a number of uses. For example, through dosage adjustment and medical monitoring, the individual dosages of the

therapeutic compounds used in the combinations of the present invention will be lower than are typical for dosages of the. therapeutic compounds when used in monotherapy. The dosage lowering will provide advantages including reduction of side effects of the individual therapeutic compounds when compared to monotherapy. In addition, fewer side effects of the combination therapy compared with monotherapies will lead to greater patient compliance with therapy regimens.

Another use of the present invention will be in combinations having complementary effects or complementary modes of action. For example, ASBT inhibitors frequently lower LDL lipoprotein but also induce de novo synthesis of cholesterol via upregulation of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme-A reductase (HMG-CoA reductase) activity. In contrast, HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors curtail the biosynthesis of cholesterol via inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase. A therapeutic combination of an ASBT inhibitor and a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor will, when dosages are optimally adjusted, significantly lower LDL and reduce the biosynthesis of new cholesterol. c. ASBT Inhibitors The present invention discloses that treatment of a subject with one or more ASBT inhibitors and one or more cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors results in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of cardiovascular conditions and/or disorders relative to other combination regimens.

The method comprises treating the subject with an amount of an apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport inhibitor and an amount of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor or its prodrug, wherein the amount of the apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport inhibitor and the amount of the cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor

together constitute a hypercholesterolemia-related condition effective amount or an inflammation-related condition effective amount of the said compounds.

For example, one of the many embodiments of the present invention is a combination therapy comprising therapeutic dosages of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor and a lignan ASBT inhibitor selected from the group of lignan ASBT inhibitors illustrated in Table 2 as compounds A-2 and A-3.

In another embodiment of the invention the ASBT inhibitor is selected from the group of bicyclic benzothiazepine ASBT inhibitors illustrated in Table 2 as compounds A-1, A-4 and A-5, including the diastereomers, enantiomers, racemates, salts, tautomers, conjugate acids, and prodrugs thereof.

Another embodiment of the present invention comprises a therapeutic combination containing an amount of an apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport inhibitor, an amount of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor or its prodrug and an amount of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the amount of the apical sodium co-dependent bile acid transport inhibitor, the amount of the cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor and the amount of the HMG-CoA inhibitor together constitute a hypercholesterolemia- related condition effective amount or an inflammation- related condition effective amount of the said compounds.

For example, one of the many embodiments of the present invention is a combination comprising therapeutic dosages of an ASBT inhibitor selected from Table 2, a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor selected from Tables 4,6 and 7A and an HMG-CoA inhibitor selected from Table 8 or Table 9. A preferred embodiment of the present invention is a combination comprising therapeutic dosages of a benzothiepine ASBT inhibitor, a tricyclic cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor and a statin HMG-CoA inhibitor. f. Dosages, Formulations, and Routes of Administration Many of the compounds useful in the present invention can have at least two asymmetric carbon atoms, and therefore include racemates and stereoisomers, such as diastereomers and enantiomers, in both pure form and in admixture. Such stereoisomers can be prepared using conventional techniques, either by reacting enantiomeric starting materials, or by separating isomers of compounds of the present invention. Isomers may include geometric isomers, for example cis-isomers or trans-isomers across a double bond. All such isomers are contemplated among the

compounds useful in the present invention. The compounds useful in the present invention also include tautomers.

The compounds useful in the present invention as discussed below include their salts, solvates and prodrugs.

The combinations of the present invention can be administered for the prophylaxis and treatment of hyperlipidemic and cardiovascular diseases or conditions by any means, preferably oral, that produce contact of these compounds with their site of action in the body, for example in the ileum of a mammal, e. g., a human.

For the prophylaxis or treatment of the conditions referred to above, the compounds useful in the combinations and methods of the present invention can be used as the compound per se. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are particularly suitable for medical applications because of their greater aqueous solubility relative to the parent compound. Such salts must clearly have a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or cation. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the present invention when possible include those derived from inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric, hydrobromic, phosphoric, metaphosphoric, nitric, sulfonic, and sulfuric acids, and organic acids such as acetic, benzenesulfonic, benzoic, citric, ethanesulfonic, fumaric, gluconic, glycolic, isothionic, lactic, lactobionic, maleic, malic, methanesulfonic, succinic, toluenesulfonic, tartaric, and trifluoroacetic acids. The chloride salt is particularly preferred for medical purposes. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable base salts include ammonium salts, alkali metal salts such as sodium and potassium salts, and alkaline earth salts such as magnesium and calcium salts.

The anions useful in the present invention are, of course, also required to be pharmaceutically acceptable and are also selected from the above list.

The compounds useful in the present invention can be presented with an acceptable carrier in the form of a pharmaceutical combination. The carrier must, of course, be acceptable in the sense of being compatible with the other ingredients of the combination and must not be deleterious to the recipient. The carrier can be a solid or a liquid, or both, and is preferably formulated with the compound as a unit-dose combination, for example, a tablet, which can contain from 0.05% to 95% by weight of , the active compound. Other pharmacologically active substances can also be present, including other compounds of the present invention. The pharmaceutical combinations of the invention can be prepared by any of the well known techniques of pharmacy, consisting essentially of admixing the components.

These compounds can be administered by any conventional means available for use in conjunction with pharmaceuticals, either as individual therapeutic compounds or as a combination of therapeutic compounds.

The amount of compound which is required to achieve the desired biological effect will, of course, depend on a number of factors such as the specific compound chosen, the use for which it is intended, the mode of administration, and the clinical condition of the recipient.

In general, a total daily dose of an ASBT inhibitor can be in the range of from about 0.01 to about 20 mg/day, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/day, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 5.0 mg/day.

A total daily dose of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor can be in the range of from about 0.3 to about

100 mg/kg body weight/day, preferably from about 1 to about 50 mg/kg body weight/day, more preferably from about 3 to about 10 mg/kg body weight/day.

A total daily dose of an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor can generally be in the range of from about 0.1 to about 100 mg/day in single or divided doses. Lovastatin, atorvastatin, or mevastatin, for example, generally are each administered separately in a daily dose of about 10 to about 80 mg/day. Fluvastatin is generally administered in a daily dose of about 20 to about 40 mg/day.

Cerivastatin is generally administered in a daily dose of about 0.1 to about 0.3 mg/day.

The daily doses described in the preceding paragraphs for the various therapeutic compounds can be administered to the patient in a single dose, or in proportionate multiple subdoses. Subdoses can be administered 2 to 6 times per day. Doses can be in sustained release form effective to obtain desired results.

In the case of pharmaceutically acceptable salts, the weights indicated above refer to the weight of the acid equivalent or the base equivalent of the therapeutic compound derived from the salt.

Oral delivery of the combinations of the present invention can include formulations, as are well known in the art, to provide prolonged or sustained delivery of the drug to the gastrointestinal tract by any number of mechanisms. These include, but are not limited to, pH sensitive release from the dosage form based on the changing pH of the small intestine, slow erosion of a tablet or capsule, retention in the stomach based on the physical properties of the formulation, bioadhesion of the dosage form to the mucosal lining of the intestinal tract, or enzymatic release of the active drug from the dosage form. For some of the therapeutic compounds useful in the

present invention (e. g., ASBT inhibitors), the intended effect is to extend the time period over which the active drug molecule is delivered to the site of action (e. g., the ileum) by manipulation of the dosage form. Thus, enteric-coated and enteric-coated controlled release formulations are within the scope of the present invention. Suitable enteric coatings include cellulose acetate phthalate, polyvinylacetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate and anionic polymers of methacrylic acid and methacrylic acid methyl ester.

The combinations of the present invention can be delivered orally either in a solid, in a semi-solid, or in a liquid form. When in a liquid or in a semi-solid form, the combinations of the present invention can, for example, be in the form of a liquid, syrup, or contained in a gel capsule (e. g., a gel cap).

When administered intravenously, the dose for an ASBT inhibitor can, for example, be in the range of from about 0.01 mg to about 20 mg/day, preferably from about 0.1 to about 10 mg/day, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 5.0 mg/day.

For a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor the intravenously administered dose can, for example, be in the range of from about 0.003 to about 1. 0 mg/kg body weight/day, preferably from about 0.01 to about 0.75 mg/kg body weight/day, more preferably from about 0.1 to about 0.6 mg/kg body weight/day.

An HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor can be intravenously administered, for example, in the range of from about 0.03 to about 5.0 mg/kg body weight/day, preferably from about 0.1 to about 1.0 mg/kg body weight/day, more preferably from about 0.4 to about 0.6 mg/kg body weight/day.

The dose of any of these therapeutic compounds can be conveniently administered as an infusion of from about 10 ng/kg body weight to about 100 ng/kg body weight per minute. Infusion fluids suitable for this purpose can contain, for example, from about 0.1 ng to about 10 mg, preferably from about 1 ng to about 10 mg per milliliter.

Unit doses can contain, for example, from about 1 mg to about 10 g of the compound of the present invention.

Thus, ampoules for injection can contain, for example, from about 1 mg to about 100 mg.

Pharmaceutical combinations according to the present invention include those suitable for oral, rectal, topical, buccal (e. g., sublingual), and parenteral (e. g., subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, or intravenous) administration, although the most suitable route in any given case will depend on the nature and severity of the condition being treated and on the nature of the particular compound which is being used. In most cases, the preferred route of administration is oral.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for oral administration can be presented in discrete units, such as capsules, cachets, lozenges, or tablets, each containing a predetermined amount of at least one therapeutic compound useful in the present invention; as a powder or granules; as a solution or a suspension in an aqueous or non-aqueous liquid; or as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion.

As indicated, such combinations can be prepared by any suitable method of pharmacy which includes the step of bringing into association the active compound (s) and the carrier (which can constitute one or more accessory ingredients). In general, the combinations are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active compound with a liquid or finely divided solid carrier, or both, and then, if necessary, shaping the product. For example,

a tablet can be prepared by compressing or molding a powder or granules of the compound, optionally with one or more accessory ingredients. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing, in a suitable machine, the compound in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules optionally mixed with a binder, lubricant, inert diluent and/or surface active/dispersing agent (s). Molded tablets can be made by molding, in a suitable machine, the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for buccal (sub- lingual) administration include lozenges comprising a compound of the present invention in a flavored base, usually sucrose, and acacia or tragacanth, and pastilles comprising the compound in an inert base such as gelatin and glycerin or sucrose and acacia.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for parenteral administration conveniently comprise sterile aqueous preparations of a compound of the present invention. These preparations are preferably administered intravenously, although administration can also be effected by means of subcutaneous, intramuscular, or intradermal injection.

Such preparations can conveniently be prepared by admixing the compound with water and rendering the resulting solution sterile and isotonic with the blood. Injectable combinations according to the invention will generally contain from 0.1 to 5% w/w of a compound disclosed herein.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for rectal administration are preferably presented as unit-dose suppositories. These can be prepared by admixing a compound of the present invention with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example, cocoa butter, and then shaping the resulting mixture.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for topical application to the skin preferably take the form of an

ointment, cream, lotion, paste, gel, spray, aerosol, or oil. Carriers which can be used include petroleum jelly (e. g., Vaseline), lanolin, polyethylene glycols, alcohols, and combinations of two or more thereof. The active compound is generally present at a concentration of from 0. 1 to 50% w/w of the combination, for example, from 0.5 to 2%.

Transdermal administration is also possible.

Pharmaceutical combinations suitable for transdermal administration can be presented as discrete patches adapted to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. Such patches suitably contain a compound of the present invention in an optionally buffered, aqueous solution, dissolved and/or dispersed in an adhesive, or dispersed in a polymer. A suitable concentration of the active compound is about 1% to 35%, preferably about 3% to 15%.

As one particular possibility, the compound can be delivered from the patch by electrotransport or iontophoresis, for example, as described in Pharmaceutical Research, 3, 318 (1986).

In any case, the amount of active ingredient that can be combined with carrier materials to produce a single dosage form to be administered will vary depending upon the host treated and the particular mode of administration.

The solid dosage forms for oral administration including capsules, tablets, pills, powders, gel caps, and granules noted above comprise one or more compounds useful in the present invention admixed with at least one inert diluent such as sucrose, lactose, or starch. Such dosage forms may also comprise, as in normal practice, additional substances other than inert diluents, e. g., lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate or solubilizing agents

such as cyclodextrins. In the case of capsules, tablets, powders, granules, gel caps, and pills, the dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can additionally be prepared with enteric coatings.

Liquid dosage forms for oral administration can include pharmaceutically acceptable emulsions, solutions, suspensions, syrups, and elixirs containing inert diluents commonly used in the art, such as water. Such combinations may also comprise adjuvants, such as wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, and sweetening, flavoring, and perfuming agents.

Injectable preparations, for example, sterile injectable aqueous or oleaginous suspensions may be formulated according to the known art using suitable dispersing or setting agents and suspending agents. The sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a nontoxic parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-butanediol. Among the acceptable vehicles and solvents that may be employed are water, Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution.

In addition, sterile, fixed oils are conventionally employed as a solvent or suspending medium. For this purpose any bland fixed oil may be employed including synthetic mono-or diglycerides. In addition, fatty acids such as oleic acid find use in the preparation of injectables.

Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers encompass all the foregoing and the like.

In combination therapy, administration of two or more of the therapeutic agents useful in the present invention may take place sequentially in separate formulations, or may be accomplished by simultaneous administration in a single formulation or separate formulations.

Administration may be accomplished by oral route, or by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous injections.

The formulation may be in the form of a bolus, or in the form of aqueous or non-aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions c-and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers or diluents, or a binder such as gelatin or hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, together wn th one or more of a lubricant, preservative, surface active or dispersing agent.

For oral administration, the pharmaceutical combination may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension, or liquid. Capsules, tablets, etc., can be prepared by conventional methods well known in the art. The pharmaceutical combination is. preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing particular amount of the active ingredient or ingredients. Examples of dosage units are tablets or capsules. These may with advantage contain one or more therapeutic compound in an amount described above. For example, in the case of an HMG Co-A reductase inhibitor, the dose range may be from about 0. 01 mg to about 500 mg or any other dose, dependent upon the specific inhibitor, as is I-nown in the art.

The active ingredients may also be administered by injection as a combination wherein, for example, saline, dextrose, or water may be used as c-a suitable carrier. A suitable daily dose of each active therapeutic compound ts one that achieves the same blood Serum level as produced- by oral administration as described above.

The therapeutic compounds nta-y further be administered by any combination of oral/oral, oral/parenteral, or parenteral/parenteral route.

Pharmaceutical combinations for use in the treatment methods of the present invention may be administered in oral form or by intravenous administration. Oral administration of the combination therapy is preferred.

Dosing for oral administration may be with a regimen calling for single daily dose, or for a single dose every other day, or for multiple, spaced doses throughout the day. The therapeutic compounds which make up the combination therapy may be administered simultaneously, either in a combined dosage form or in separate dosage forms intended for substantially simultaneous oral administration. The therapeutic compounds which make up the combination therapy may also be administered sequentially, with either therapeutic compound being administered by a regimen calling for two-step ingestion.

Thus, a regimen may call for sequential administration of the therapeutic compounds with spaced-apart ingestion of the separate, active agents. The time period between the multiple ingestion steps may range from a few minutes to several hours, depending upon the properties of each therapeutic compound such as potency, solubility, bioavailability, plasma half-life and kinetic profile of the therapeutic compound, as well as depending upon the effect of food ingestion and the age and condition of the patient. Circadian variation of the target molecule concentration may also determine the optimal dose interval. The therapeutic compounds of the combined therapy whether administered simultaneously, substantially simultaneously, or sequentially, may involve a regimen calling for administration of one therapeutic compound by oral route and another therapeutic compound by intravenous route. Whether the therapeutic compounds of the combined therapy are administered by oral or intravenous route, separately or together, each such therapeutic compound

will be contained in a suitable pharmaceutical formulation of pharmaceutically-acceptable excipients, diluents or other formulations components. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable formulations containing the therapeutic compounds for oral administration are given above. g. Treatment Regimen The dosage regimen to prevent, give relief from, or ameliorate a disease condition having hyperlipidemia and/or inflammation as an element of the disease, e. g., atherosclerosis, or to protect against or treat plaque inflammation or high-cholesterol plasma or blood levels with the compounds and/or combinations of the present invention is selected in accordance with a variety of factors. These include the type, age, weight, sex, diet, and medical condition of the patient, the severity of the disease, the route of administration, pharmacological considerations such as the activity, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and toxicology profiles of the particular compound employed, whether a drug delivery system is utilized, and whether the compound is administered as part of a drug combination. Thus, the dosage regimen actually employed may vary widely and therefore deviate from the preferred dosage regimen set forth above.

Initial treatment of a patient suffering from a hyperlipidemic condition can begin with the dosages indicated above. Treatment should generally be continued as necessary over a period of several weeks to several months or years until the hyperlipidemic disease condition has been controlled or eliminated. Patients undergoing treatment with the compounds or combinations disclosed herein can be routinely monitored by, for example, measuring serum LDL and total cholesterol levels by any of

the methods well known in the art, to determine the effectiveness of the combination therapy. Continuous analysis of such data permits modification of the treatment regimen during therapy so that optimal effective amounts of each type of therapeutic compound are administered at any point in time, and so that the duration of treatment can be determined as well. In this way, the treatment regimen/dosing schedule can be rationally modified over the course of therapy so that the lowest amount of the therapeutic compounds which together exhibit satisfactory effectiveness is administered, and so that administration is continued only so long as is necessary to successfully treat the hyperlipidemic condition.

A potential advantage of the combination therapy disclosed herein may be reduction of the amount of any individual therapeutic compound, or all therapeutic compounds, effective in treating hyperlipidemic conditions such as atherosclerosis and hypercholesterolemia.

Biological Assays of Utility The utility of the combinations of the present invention can be shown by the following assays. Assays are performed in vitro and in animal models using procedures well recognized to show the utility of the present invention.

In Vitro Assay of Compounds That Inhibit Recombinant COX-1 and/or COX-2 Activity a. Preparation of Recombinant COX Baculoviruses Recombinant COX-1 and COX-2 are prepared as described by Gierse et al. (J. Biochem., 305,479-484 (1995). A 2.0 kb fragment containing the coding region of either human or murine COX-1 or human or murine COX-2 is cloned into a BamH1 site of the baculovirus transfer vector pVL1393 (Invitrogen) to generate the baculovirus transfer vectors for COX-1 and COX-2 in a manner similar to the method of D. R. O'Reilly et al. (Baculovirus Expression Vectors: A Laboratory Manual (1992). Recombinant baculoviruses are isolated by transfecting 4 pg of baculovirus transfer vector DNA into SF9 insect cells (2x108) along with 200 ng of linearized baculovirus plasmid DNA by the calcium phosphate method (M. D. Summers and G. E Smith, A Manual of Methods for Baculovirus Vectors and Insect Cell Culture Procedures, Texas Agric. Exp. Station Bull. 1555 (1987)).

Recombinant viruses are purified by three rounds of plaque purification, and high-titer (107-108 pfu/mL) stocks of virus were prepared. For large-scale production, SF9 insect cells are infected in 10-liter fermentors (0.5xl06/mL) with the recombinant baculovirus stock such that the multiplicity of the infection was 0.1. After 72 hours the cells are centrifuged, and the cell pellet homogenized in Tris/Sucrose (50 mM: 25%, pH 8.0) containing 1% 3- [ (3)-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio]-l- propanesulfonate (CHAPS). The homogenate is centrifuged at 10,000 x G for 30 minutes, and the resulting supernatant is stored at-80° C before being assayed for COX activity. b. Assay for COX-1 and COX-2 Activity COX activity is assayed as PGE2 formed/jg protein/time using an ELISA to detect the prostaglandin released.

CHAPS-solubilized insect cell wall membranes containing the appropriate COX enzyme are incubated in a potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 8.0) containing epinephrine, phenol, and heme with the addition of arachidonic acid (10 , uM). Compounds are pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10- 20 minutes prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. Any reaction between the arachidonic acid and the enzyme is stopped after 10 minutes at 37°C/room temperature by transferring 40 AL of reaction mix into 160 AL ELISA buffer and 25 MM indomethacin. The PGE2 formed will be measured by standard ELISA technology (Cayman Chemical). c. Rapid assay for COX-1 and COX-2 Activity COX activity is assayed as PGE2 formed protein/time using an ELISA to detect the prostaglandin released.

CHAPS-solubilized insect cell wall membranes containing the appropriate COX enzyme are incubated in a potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.5,300MM epinephrine, 2 NM phenol, 1, uM heme) with the addition of

20 AL of 100 uM arachidonic acid (10 uM). Compounds are pre-incubated with the enzyme for 10 minutes at 37° C prior to the addition of arachidonic acid. Any reaction between the arachidonic acid and the enzyme is stopped after 2 minutes at 37°C/room temperature by transferring 40 AL of reaction mix into 160 AL ELISA buffer and 25, uM indomethacin. The PGE2 formed is measured by standard ELISA technology (Cayman Chemical).

In'Vivo Assay of Anti-inflammatory Compounds in the Rat Carageenan Foot Pad Edema Test The carageenan foot edema test for the in vivo evaluation of anti-inflammatory potency will be as performed essentially as described by Winter et al. (Proc.

Soc. Exp. Biol. Med., 111, 544 (1962). Male Sprague- Dawley rats are selected in each group having average body weights as close as possible. Rats are fasted with free access to water for over sixteen hours prior to the test.

The rats are dosed orally (1 mL) with compounds suspended in vehicle containing 0.5% methylcellulose and 0.025% surfactant, or with vehicle alone. One hour later a subplantar injection of 0.1 mL of 1% solution of carrageenan/sterile 0.9% saline is administered, and the volume of the foot is measured with a displacement plethysmometer connected to a pressure transducer with a digital indicator. Three hours after the injection of the carrageenan the volume of the foot is again measured. The average foot swelling in a group of drug-treated animals is compared with that of a group of plecebo-treated animals, and the percentage inhibition of edema is determined (Otterness and Bliven, Laboratory Models for Testing NSAIDs, in Non-steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, J. Lombardino, ed., 1985).

In Vitro Assay of Compounds That Inhibit ASBT-mediated Uptake of [14C] Taurocholate (TC) in H14 Cells Baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) transfected with the cDNA of human ASBT (H14 cells) are seeded at 60,000 cells/well in 96-well Top-Count tissue culture plates for assays to be run within in 24 hours of seeding, at 30,000 cells/well for assays run within 48 hours, and at 10,000 cells/well for assays run within 72 hours.

On the day of assay, the cell monolayer is gently washed once with 100 Al assay buffer (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium with 4.5 g/L glucose + 0.2% (w/v) fatty acid free-bovine serum albumin (FAF) BSA). To each well 50 AL of a two-fold concentrate of test compound in assay buffer is added along with 50 AL of 6 M [, 14C] taurocholate in assay buffer (final concentration of 3 [14C] taurocholate). The cell culture plates are incubated for two hours at 37° C prior to gently washing each well twice with 100 AL of Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at 4° C containing 0.2% (w/v) (FAF) BSA. The wells are then gently washed once with 100 HL of PBS at 4°C without (FAF) BSA. To each well 200 AL of liquid scintillation counting fluid is added, and the plates are heat sealed and shaken for 30 minutes at room temperature prior to measuring the amount of radioactivity in each well on a Packard Top-Count instrument.

In Vitro Assay of Compounds That Inhibit Uptake of lt4C] Alanine The alanine uptake assay is to be performed in an identical fashion to the taurocholate assay, with the exception that [14C]-labeled alanine was substituted for the radiolabelled taurocholate.

In Vivo Assay of Compounds That Inhibit Rat Ileal Uptake of [14C] Taurocholate into Bile (The method to be used is similar to that described by Une at al.,"Metabolism of 3 «, 7ß-dihydroxy-7a-methyl-5ß- cholanoic acid and 3 «, 7ß-dihydroxy-7a-methyl-5ß-cholanoic acid in hamsters,"Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 833,196-202 (1985).) Male wistar rats (200-300 g) are anesthetized with inactin 8100 mg/kg. Bile ducts are cannulated with a 10" length of PE10 tubing. The small intestine is exposed and laid out on a gauze pad. A cannula (tapered female adapter with 1/8"luer lock) is inserted at 12 cm from the junction of the small intestine and the cecum. A slit is cut at 4 cm from this same junction (utilizing a 8 cm length of ileum). Warm Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 6.5 (20 mL) is used to flush out the intestinal segment. The distal opening is cannulated with a 20 cm length of silicone tubing (0.02n I. D. x 0.037" O. D.). The proximal cannula is connected to a peristaltic pump and the intestine is washed for 20 minutes with warm PBS at 0.25 mL/min. The temperature of the gut segment is monitored continuously. At the start of the experiment, 2.0 mL of control sample (r14C] taurocholate @ 0.05 mCi/mL, diluted with 5 mM unlabelled taurocholate) is loaded into the gut segment using a 3-mL syringe, and bile sample collection is begun. Control sample is infused at a rate of 0.25 mL/min for 21 minutes. Bile sample fractions are collected for radioassay every three minutes for the first 27 minutes of the procedure. After 21 minutes of sample infusion, the ileal loop is washed out with 20 mL of warm PBS (using a 30-mL syringe), and the loop is further washed out for 21 minutes with warm PBS at 0.25 mL/min. A second perfusion is then initiated as described above, but with test compound being simultaneously administered as

well (21 minutes of administration followed by 21 minutes of washout), and bile is sampled every 3 minutes for the first 27 minutes. If necessary, a third perfusion is performed as above using the control sample.

Measurement of Rat Hepatic Cholesterol Concentration (HEPATIC CHOL) Rat liver tissue is weighed and homogenized in chloroform: methanol (2: 1). After homogenization and centrifugation the supernatant is separated and dried under nitrogen. The residue is dissolved in isopropanol and the cholesterol content is measured enzymatically, using a combination of cholesterol oxidase and peroxidase, as described by Allain et al., Clin. Chem., 20,470 (1974).

Measurement of Rat Hepatic HMG-CoA Reductase Activity Rat liver microsomes are prepared by homogenizing liver samples in a phosphate/sucrose buffer, followed by centrifugal separation. The final pelleted material is resuspended in buffer and an aliquot is assayed for HMG- CoA reductase activity by incubating for 60 minutes at 37° C in the presence of [14C] HMG-CoA (Dupont-NEN). The reaction is stopped by adding 6N HCl followed by centrifugation. An aliquot of the supernatant is subjected to separation using thin-layer chromatography, and the spot corresponding to the enzymatic product is scraped off the plate, extracted and assayed for radioactivity by scintillation counting (Akerlund and Bjorkhem, J. Lipid Res., 31,2159 (1990).

Determination of Rat Serum Cholesterol (SER. CHOL, HDL- CHOL, TGI and VLDL + LDL) Total rat serum cholesterol (SER. CHOL) is measured enzymatically using a commercial kit from Wako Fine Chemicals (Richmond, VA); Cholesterol Cll, Catalog No.

276-64909. HDL cholesterol (HDL-CHOL) is assayed using this same kit after precipitation of VLDL and LDL with Sigma Chemical Co. HDL cholesterol reagent, Catalog No.

352-3 (dextran sulfate method). Total serum triglycerides (blanked) (TGI) are assayed enzymatically with Sigma Chemical Co. GPO-Trinder, Catalog No. 337-B. VLDL and LDL (VLDL + LDL) cholesterol concentrations are calculated as the difference between total and HDL cholesterol.

Measurement of Rat Hepatic Cholesterol 7-a-Hydroxylase Activity (7a-HOase) Rat liver microsomes are prepared by homogenizing liver samples in a phosphate/sucrose buffer, followed by centrifugal separation. The final pelleted material is resuspended in buffer and an aliquot is assayed for cholesterol 7-a-hydroxylase activity by incubating for 5 minutes at 37° C in the presence of NADPH. Following extraction into petroleum ether, the organic solvent is evaporated and the residue is dissolved in acetonitrile/ methanol. The enzymatic product will be separated by injecting an aliquot of the extract onto a C18 reverse- phase HPLC column and quantitating the eluted material using UV detection at 240nm. (Horton et al., J. Clin.

Invest., 93,2084 (1994)).

In Vivo Rat Gavage ASBT Assay Male Wister rats (275-300g) are administered ASBT inhibitors using an oral gavage procedure. Drug or vehicle (0.2% Tween 80 in water) is administered once a

day (9: 00-10: 0 a. m.) for 4 days at varying dosages in a final volume of 2 mL per kilogram of body weight. Total fecal samples are collected during the final 48 hours of the treatment period and analyzed for bile acid content using an enzymatic assay as described below. Compound efficacy is determined by comparison of the increase in fecal bile acid (FBA) concentration in treated rats to the mean FBA concentration of rats in the vehicle group.

Measurement of Hamster Fecal Bile Acid Concentration (FBA) Total fecal output from individually housed hamsters is collected for 24 or 48 hours, dried under a. stream of nitrogen, pulverized and weighed. Approximately 0.1 gram is weighed out and extracted using an organic solvent (butanol/water). Following separation and drying, the residue is dissolved in methanol and the amount of bile acid present is measured enzymatically using the 3a- hydroxysteroid steroid dehydrogenase reaction with bile acids to reduce NAD. (Mashige et al. Clin. Chem., 27,1352 (1981)).

[3H] Taurocholate Uptake in Rabbit Brush Border Membrane Vesicles (BBMV) Rabbit ileal brush border membranes are prepared from frozen ileal mucosa by the calcium precipitation method describe by Malathi et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 554, 259 (1979). The method for measuring taurocholate'is similar to that described by Kramer et al. (Biochim.

Biophys. Acta, 1111,93 (1992)) except that the assay volume used is 200 pL instead of 100 uL. Briefly, at room temperature a 190-nul solution containing 2 pm [3H] taurocholate (0.75 HCi), 20 mM tris, 100 mM NaCl, 100 mM mannitol, pH 7.4, is incubated for 5 seconds with 10 L of

brush border membrane vesicles (60-120 pg protein). The incubation is initiated by the addition of the BBMV while vortexing and the reaction is quenched by the addition of 5 mL of ice-cold buffer (20 mM Hepes-tris, 150 mM KC1), followed immediately by filtration through a nylon filter (0.2 pm porosity) and washing with an additional 5 mL of quench buffer.

Dog Model for the Evaluation of Lipid-lowering Drugs (e. g., an ASBT inhibitor or an HMG Co-A reductase inhibitor) Male beagle dogs weighing 6-12 kg, are fed once a day for two hours and given water ad libitum. Dogs are randomly assigned to dosing groups consisting of 6 to 12 dogs each, corresponding to: vehicle, i. g.; 1 mg/kg, i. g.; 2 mg/kg, i. g.; 4 mg/kg, i. g.; 2 mg/kg, p. o. (powder in capsule). Intra-gastric dosing of a therapeutic compound dissolved in aqueous solution (for example, 0.2% Tween 80 solution [polyoxyethylene mono-oleate, Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO]) is performed using a gavage tube. Prior to initiation of dosing, blood samples are drawn from the cephalic vein before the morning feeding in order to evaluate serum cholesterol (total and HDL) and triglycerides. For several consecutive days animals are dosed in the morning prior to feeding. Animals are thereafter allowed to eat for two hours before remaining food was removed. Feces are collected over a 2-day period at the end of the study and were analyzed for bile acid or lipid content. Blood samples are also collected at the end of the treatment period for comparison with pre-study serum lipid levels. Statistical significance will be determined using the standard Student's T-test, with p<. 05.

Dog Serum Lipid Measurement Blood is collected from the cephalic veins of fasted dogs using serum separator tubes (Vacutainer SST, Becton Dickinson and Co., Franklin Lakes, NJ). The blood is centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 20 minutes and the serum decanted.

Total cholesterol is measured in a 96-well format using a Wako enzymatic diagnostic kit (Cholesterol CII) (Wako Chemicals, Richmond, VA), utilizing the cholesterol oxidase reaction to produce hydrogen peroxide, which is measured colorimetrically. A standard curve from 0.5 to 10 gag cholesterol is prepared in the first two columns of the plate. The serum samples (20-40, uL, depending on the expected lipid concentration) or known serum control samples were added to individual wells in duplicate.

Water is added to bring the volume to 100, ut in each well.

A 100-, ul aliquot of color reagent is added to each well, and the plates are read at 500 nm after a 15-minute incubation at 37° C.

HDL cholesterol is assayed using Sigma kit No. 352-3 (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO), which utilizes dextran sulfate and Mg2+ to selectively precipitate LDL and VLDL. A volume of 150, uL of each serum sample is added to individual microfuge tubes, followed by 15, uL of HDL cholesterol reagent (Sigma 352-3). Samples are mixed and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes. A 50, uL aliquot of the supernatant is then mixed with 200, cul of saline and assayed using the same procedure as for total cholesterol measurement.

Triglycerides is measured using Sigma kit No. 337 in a 96-well plate format. This procedure measures the release glycerol from triglycerides with lipoprotein lipase. Standard solutions of glycerol (Sigma 339-11)

ranging from 1 to 24 Hg are used to generate the standard curve. Serum samples (20-40 AL, depending on the expected lipid concentration) are added to wells in duplicate.

Water is added to bring the volume to 100 AL in each well and 100 AL of color reagent is also added to each well.

After mixing and a 15-minute incubation, the plates will be read at 540 nm and the triglyceride values will be calculated from the standard curve. A replicate plate also will be run using a blank enzyme reagent to correct for any endogenous glycerol in the serum samples.

Dog Fecal Bile Acid Measurement Fecal samples are collected to determine the fecal bile acid (FBA) concentration for each animal. Fecal collections are made during the final 48 hours of the study, for two consecutive 24-hour periods between 9: 00 a. m. and 10: 00 a. m. each day, prior to dosing and feeding.

The separate two-day collections from each animal are weighed, combined and homogenized with distilled water in a processor (Cuisinart) to generate a homogeneous slurry.

A sample of 1. 4 g of the homogenate is extracted in a final concentration of 50% tertiary butanol/distilled water (2: 0.6) for 45 minutes in a 37° water bath and centrifuged for 13 minutes at 2000 x G. The concentration of bile acids (mmoles/day) is determined using a 96-well enzymatic assay system. A 20-//L aliquot of the fecal extract is added to two sets each of triplicate wells in a 96-well assay plate. A standardized sodium taurocholate solution and a standardized fecal extract solution (previously made from pooled samples and characterized for its bile acid concentration) are also analyzed for assay quality control. Aliquots of sodium taurocholate (20 AL), serially diluted to generate a standard curve, are similarly added to two sets of triplicate wells. A 230-AL

reaction mixture containing 1M hydrazine hydrate, 0.1 M pyrophosphate and 0.46 mg/ml NAD is added to each well. A 50-pL aliquot of 3a-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme (HSD; 0.8 units/ml) or assay buffer (0.1 M sodium pyrophosphate) is then added to one of the two sets of triplicates. All reagents are obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO. Following 60 minutes of incubation at room temperature, the optical density at 340 nm is measured and the mean of each set of triplicate samples was calculated. The difference in optical density HSD enzyme is used to determine the bile acid concentration (mM) of each sample, based on the sodium taurocholate standard curve. The bile acid concentration of the extract, the weight of the fecal homogenate (grams) and the body weight of the animal is used to calculate the corresponding FBA concentration in mmoles/kg/day for each animal. The mean FBA concentration (mmoles/kg/day) of the vehicle group is subtracted from the FBA concentration of each treatment group to determine the increase (delta value) in FBA concentration as a result of the treatment.

Hamster Intestinal Cholesterol Absorption Assay Various compounds can be shown to inhibit cholesterol absorption from the intestinal tract. These compounds lower serum cholesterol levels by reducing intestinal absorption of cholesterol from both exogenous sources (dietary cholesterol) and endogenous cholesterol (secreted by the gall bladder into the intestinal tract).

In hamsters the use of a dual-isotope plasma ratio method to measure intestinal cholesterol absorption will be refined and evaluated as described by Turley et al. (J.

Lipid Res., 35, 329-339 (1994)).

'Male hamsters weighing 80-100 g are given food and water ad libitum in a room with 12-hour alternating

periods of light and dark. Four hours into the light period, each hamster is administered an intravenous dose of 2.5 pCi of [1, 2-3H] cholesterol suspended in Intralipid (20%), followed by an oral dose of [4-l4C] cholesterol in an oil vehicle containing medium-chain triglycerides (MCT).

The i. v. dose is given by injecting a 0.4-mL volume of the Intralipid mixture into the distal femoral vein. The oral dose is given by gavaging a 0.6-mL volume of the MCT oil mixture intragastrically via a polyethylene tube. After 72 hours the hamsters are bled and the amount of [3H] and [14C] in the plasma and in the original radiolabelled dosing mixtures are determined by liquid scintillation spectrometry. The cholesterol absorption is calculated from the following equation: Percent cholesterol absorbed = % of oral dose per mL of 72-hour plasma sample x 100 % of i. v. dose per mL of 72-hour plasma sample Evaluation of Plasma Lipids and Atherosclerotic Lesions in Rabbits Rabbit plasma lipids are assayed using standard methods as reported by Schuh et al., J. Clin. Invest., 91, 1453-1458 (1993). Groups of male New Zealand white rabbits are placed on a standard diet (lOOg/day) supplemented with 0.3% cholesterol and 2% corn oil (Zeigler Bothers, Inc., Gardners, PA). Water is available ad libitum. Groups of control and treated animals are sacrificed after one and three months of treatment. Blood samples are collected for determination of plasma lipid concentrations. Tissues are removed for characterization of atherosclerotic lesions and aorta vascular response.

a. Plasma Lipids Plasma for lipid analysis is obtained by withdrawing blood from the ear vein into EDTA-containing tubes (Vacutainer; Becton Dickenson & Co., Rutherford, NJ), followed by centrifugation of the cells. Total cholesterol is determined enzymatically, using the cholesterol oxidase reaction (C. A. Allain et al., Clin. Chem., 20,470-475 (1974)). HDL cholesterol is also measured enzymatically, after selective precipitation of LDL and VLDL by dextran sulfate with magnesium (Warnick et al., Clin. Chem., 28, 1379-1388 (1982)). Plasma triglyceride levels are determined by measuring the amount of glycerol released by lipoprotein lipase through an enzyme-linked assay (G.

Bucolo et al., Clin. Chem., 19, 476-482 (1973)).. b. Atherosclerotic Lesions Animals are sacrificed by pentobarbital injection.

Thoracic aortas are rapidly removed and fixed by immersion in 10% neutral buffered formalin, and stained with oil red O (0.3%). After a single longitudinal incision along the wall opposite the arterial ostia, the vessels are pinned open for evaluation of the plaque area. The percent plaque coverage is determined from the values for the total area examined and the stained area by threshold analysis using a true color image analyzer (Videometric 150; American Innovision, Inc., San Diego, CA) interfaced to a color camera (Toshiba 3CCD) mounted on a dissecting microscope. Tissue cholesterol is measured enzymatically as previously described, after extraction with a chloroform/methanol mixture (2: 1, according to the method of Folch et al. (J. Biol. Chem., 226,497-509 (1957)). c. Aorta Vascular Response The abdominal aortas are rapidly excised after injection of sodium pentobarbital and placed in oxygenated Krebs- bicarbonate buffer. After removal of perivascular tissue,

3-mm ring segments are cut, placed in a 37° C muscle bath containing Krebs-bicarbonate solution, and suspended between two stainless steel wires, one of which is attached to a force transducer (Grass Instrument Co., Quincy, MA). Force changes in response to angiotensin II added to the bath will be recorded on a chart recorder.

Evaluation of plasma Lipids and Atherosclerotic Lesions in Mouse Models of Atherosclerosis Male LDL receptor (-/-) mice (6-8 weeks of age) are obtained from the Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME) and are permitted an acclimatization period of one week on normal diet. Mice are then placed on a diet enriched in saturated fat (21% wt/wt) and cholesterol (0.15% wt/wt; Harlan Teklad, catalog # 88137). Pelleted diets are prepared by Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ. Compounds are administered by mixing the drug in the diet at the indicated concentrations. On occasion, drugs can be administered in the drinking water. Mice are maintained on the above regimens for a minimum of 8 weeks and usually a total of 12 weeks.

Male ApoE (-/-) mice are obtained from the Jackson Laboratories (Bar Harbor, ME) and are permitted an acclimatization period of one week on normal diet. Mice (6 weeks of age) are then placed on a normal chow diet (Purina Certified 5002 Diet) or on a saturated fat (21% wt/wt) and cholesterol (0.15% wt/wt; Harlan Teklad, catalog # 88137) to accelerate the rate of atherosclerosis formation. Pelleted diets are prepared by Research Diets, New Brunswick, NJ. Compounds are administered by mixing the drug in the diet at the indicated concentrations.

Mice are maintained on the above regimens for a minimum of 8 weeks and usually a total of 12 weeks.

a. Lipid Analyses Serum cholesterol concentrations were determined by enzymatic assay and lipoprotein-cholesterol distribution was determined by size exclusion chromatography as described previously (Daugherty A and Rateri D, Coronary Artery Dis. 2 : 775-787 (1991). b. Quantification and histological analyses of the atherosclerotic lesions The extent of the aortic intima covered by grossly discernable atherosclerotic lesions can be quantified by en face analysis of the aorta (from the top of the heart to the iliac bifurcation) as described previously (Daugherty A et al. J. Clin. Invest. 100: 1575-1580 (1997); Daugherty A at al. J. Clin. Invest. 105: 1605-1612 (2000).

Alternatively, atherosclerotici lesion area can be determined in the aortic roots of animals which correlates extremely well with en face atherosclerotic lesion area assessment, but allows histologc evaluation of the quality of the lesions themselves. Mice are euthanized with C02 gas and blood is removed by retroorbital collection.

Hearts are immediately removed and fixed in phosphate buffered formalin. After 24 hours, the bottom two-thirds of the hearts are removed by carefully sectioning the heart just below the atria. The remaining top portions of the hearts are embedded in paraffin and 4 im sections are cut. Every 6th section is evaluated for cross sectional area of atherosclerotic lesions by hematoxylin and eosin staining, beginning where the atrial valves appeared distinctly to where the valves disappear, as described earlier by Nishina et al. (Nishina PM et al, Lipids 28: 599-605 (1993).

Serial sections of the proximal aorta, within 50 microns of the valves and containing remnants of the valve leaflets are selected for immunolocalization of lymphocytes, (anti-CD3), macrophages (anti-CD1) and smooth muscle cells (SMA) and counterstained using hemotoxylin or methyl green. All lesions contained within one aortic section per individual are evaluated. Lesions are characterized as early (Stary classification I and II) or complex (Stary classification III and IV).

T cell quantification in atherosclerotic lesions is performed on sections stained with an anti-CD3 antibody followed by digital image analysis on a computer controlled Olympus AX-70 Provis microscope equipped with a Photometrix digital camera, liquid crystal tunable filter and Isee Imaging software (Inovison Corp, Raleigh, NC).

Procedures for image acquisition and image analysis has been previously described (Ornberg RL. J. Histochem.

Cytochem. 49: 1059-1060 (2000); Ornberg RL et al. Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry. 47 (9): 1-7 (1999).

For smooth muscle cell content, aortic root section images were captured using a Zeiss Axiophot equipped with a Spot XX camera and a 10X objective with a 1.6X magnification ring. Lesion area positively stained for SMA was measured by selecting threshold criteria to detect 1% of a negative control tissue (lymph node) and >85% of a positive control, which was typically a normal media. All lesions are included in the analysis; early or complex lesion assignment is noted during data capture. All measurements are performed by blinded observers and analyzed with measured Area of smooth muscle actin by quantitative image analysis Optimus 6.1.3.
