Title:Methods for treatment of stroke or cerebrovascular accidents using an ET.sub.B receptor agonist
Abstract: Methods of using an ET.sub.B receptor agonist, such as IRL-1620, for the treatment of stroke or cerebrovascular accidents are disclosed. The ET.sub.B receptor agonist is used alone or in combination with a second agent useful in the treatment of stroke or other cerebrovascular accident.
Inventor(s): Gulati; Anil (Naperville, IL)
Assignee: MIDWESTERN UNIVERSITY (Downers Grove, IL)
Application Number:15/352,238
Patent Claims:1. A method of treating a stroke or cerebrovascular accident comprising administering multiple doses of a therapeutically effective amount of N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 to an individual in need thereof and further comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a second therapeutic agent useful in the treatment of stroke or cerebrovascular accident.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the stroke or cerebrovascular accident is caused by thrombosis, embolism, or hemorrhage.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the second therapeutic agent comprises a neuroprotective agent.

4. The method of claim 3 wherein the neuroprotective agent is selected from the group consisting of a thrombolytic agent, an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent, an ET.sub.A antagonist, an oxygen carrier, and mixtures thereof.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the thrombolytic agent comprises tissue plasminogen activator.

6. The method of claim 4 wherein the erythropoiesis-stimulating agent is selected from the group consisting of erythropoietin, darbepoetin, epoetin alfa, and mixtures thereof.

7. The method of claim 4 wherein the oxygen carrier comprises a hemoglobin-based blood substitute, a perfluorocarbon-based blood substitute, or a mixture thereof.

8. The method of claim 4 wherein the ET.sub.A antagonist is selected from sulfosoxazole, clazosentan, atrasentan, tezosentan, bosentan, sitaxsentan, enrasentan, BMS 207940, BMS 193884, BMS 182874, J 104132, VML 588/Ro 61 1790, T-0115, TAK 044, BQ 788, TBC2576, TBC3214, PD180988, ABT 546, SB247083, RPR118031A, BQ123, and mixtures thereof.

9. The method of claim 3 wherein the neuroprotective agent is selected from the group consisting of argatroban, alfimeprase, tenecteplase, ancrod, sildenafil, insulin, insulin growth factor, magnesium sulfate, human serum albumin, caffeinol, microplasmin, a statin, eptifibatide, tinzaparin, enecadin, citicoline, edaravone, cilostazol, and mixtures thereof.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 and the second therapeutic agent are administered simultaneously.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 and the second therapeutic agent are administered from a single composition.

12. The method of claim 10 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 and the second therapeutic agent are administered from separate compositions.

13. The method of claim 1 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 and the second therapeutic agent are administered separately.

14. The method of claim 13 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered prior to the second therapeutic agent.

15. The method of claim 13 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered after the second therapeutic agent.

16. The method of claim 1 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered in an amount of about 0.005 to about 500 micrograms per dose.

17. The method of claim 1 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered in an amount of about 0.005 to about 50 micrograms per kilogram per min infusion.

18. The method of claim 1 wherein about 0.5 micrograms per kilogram (.mu.g/kg) of the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered intravenously per dose.

19. The method of claim 18 wherein the N-Succinyl-[Glu.sup.9, Ala.sup.11,15] Endothelin 1 is administered in three doses per day.
