Description: NSAID AND EFGR KINASE INHIBITOR CONTAINING COMPOSITION FOR THE TREATMENT INHIBITION OF COLONIC POLYPS AND COLORECTAL CANCER This invention relates to the use of a combination of an NSAID and a epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase inhibitor in the treatment and inhibition of colonic polyps and colorectal cancer. Colonic Polyps occur in both a familial pattern (familial adenomatous polyps; FAP) and sporadically. FAP afflicts approximately 25,000 patients in the US; while it is estimated that sporadic adenomatous polyps (SAP) occur in approximately 2 million people per year in the US alone. All these patients are at risk for developing adenocarcinoma of the colon. In the case of FAP, that risk is virtually 100% and these patients usually undergo a colectomy at an early age. Patients with sporadic polyps are treated with polypectomy and require periodic colonoscopic examination because of their inherent risk of developing recuπent polyps. In fact, parents and siblings of these patients are also at increased risk for developing colorectal cancer. The genetic basis for FAP has been linked to the presence of mutations in the APC gene. Similar APC mutations have been found in patients with sporadic polyps. Biochemically, the APC mutation occurs in conjunction with the increased expression of cyclooxygenase enzymes, particularly COX-2. These enzymes are essential for the production of prostenoids, (prostaglandin's; (PG's)) that mediate a number of functions in the bowel including motility, vascular tone, angiogenesis and mucosal protection. PG's are also puφorted to discourage apoptosis and this is proposed as an explanation for polyp formation. The therapy of FAP and SAP has focused on inhibiting COX enzymes. Considerable evidence exists for the efficacy of COX inhibitors in reducing polyp formation. These COX inhibitors are predominantly NSAID' s such as clinoril, sulindac, piroxicam and etodoloc, all of which appear to be equivalent in their action. A major problem with NSAID therapy has been the development of serious side effects including peptic ulceration, and cholestatic hepatitis and renal papillary necrosis. Long term therapy with NSAIDs for the treatment of polyps is therefore considered to be impractical. Protein tyrosine kinases are a class of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP or GTP to tyrosine residue located on protein substrates. Protein tyrosine kinases clearly play a role in normal cell growth. Many of the growth factor receptor proteins function as tyrosine kinases and it is by this process that they effect signaling. The interaction of growth factors with these receptors is a necessary event in normal regulation of cell growth. However, under certain conditions, as a result of either mutation or overexpression, these receptors can become deregulated; the result of which is uncontrolled cell proliferation which can lead to tumor growth and ultimately to the disease known as cancer [Wilks A.F., Adv. Cancer Res., 60, 43 (1993) and Parsons, J.T.; Parsons, S.J., Important Advances in Oncology, DeVita V.T. Ed., J.B. Lippincott Co., Phila., 3 (1993) ]. Among the growth factor receptor kinases and their proto-oncogenes that have been identified and which are targets of the compounds of this invention are the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase (EGF-R kinase, the protein product of the erbB oncogene), and the product produced by the erbB-2 (also refeπed to as the neu or HER2) oncogene. Since the phosphorylation event is a necessary signal for cell division to occur and since overexpressed or mutated kinases have been associated with cancer, an inhibitor of this event, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, will have therapeutic value for the treatment of cancer and other diseases characterized by uncontrolled or abnormal cell growth. For example, overexpression of the receptor kinase product of the erbB-2 oncogene has been associated with human breast and ovarian cancers [Slamon, D. J., et. al., Science, 244, 707 (1989) and Science, 235 , 1146 (1987)]. Deregulation of EGF-R kinase has been associated with epidermoid tumors [Reiss, M., et. al., Cancer Res., 51, 6254 (1991)], breast tumors [Macias, A., et. al., Anticancer Res., 7, 459 (1987)], and tumors involving other major organs [Gullick, W.J., Brit. Med. Bull, 47, 87 (1991)]. Because of the importance of the role played by deregulated receptor kinases in the pathogenesis of cancer, many recent studies have dealt with the development of specific PTK inhibitors as potential anti-cancer therapeutic agents [some recent reviews: Burke. T.R., Drugs Future, 17, 119 (1992) and Chang, C.J.; Geahlen, R.L., /. Nat. Prod., 55, 1529 (1992)]. It has recently been proposed that the activation and overexpression of COX-2 in adenomatous polyps is due to activation of the EGFR. EGFR stimulation by one of it's ligands - amphiregulin (AR), induces the nuclear targeting of COX-2, release of PG's and subsequent mitogenesis, in polarized colonic epithelial cells. COX-2 inhibitors have been shown to prevent this series of events. Colon cancer results from an accumulation of a number of genetic abnormalities that occur over the lifetime of the developing tumor. The primary genetic change is a mutation in a gene called APC and this gene mutation occurs prior to the development of adenomas. Subsequent changes include mutations in the K- Ras, DCC and P53 genes as well as other changes that have not as yet been defined. What is known is that there is a clear progression from dysplastic cells within the colon through early adenomas (polyps) to intermediate adenomas, late adenomas to carcinoma and its metastases. There are a number of diseases that begin as polyps and progress to cancer. The best defined of these is FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis) which has a population incidence of 1 in 7,000. The APC mutation, or a mutation in a gene associated with the function of APC, occurs in close to 100% of these patients. A similar occuπence of the APC mutation is present in sporadic adenomas and sporadic cancers. These adenomas occur with a population and incidence of 1 and 20. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention provides a method of treating or inhibiting colonic polyps or colorectal cancer in a mammal in need thereof, which comprises administering to said mammal an NSAID (including COX-1 and/or COX-2 inhibitors) and an EGFR kinase inhibitor. The chemical structures of NSAIDs vary. Certain NSAIDs, such as ketoprofen, fluribiorifen are aryl propionic acids, while others are cyclized derivatives of arylpropionic acids, arylacetic acids, thiazinecarboxamides, and the like. Prefeπed NSAIDs include, but are not limited to, ibuprofen, sulindac, ketoporfen, -fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, naproxen, tiaprofenic acid, suprofen, etodolac, caφrofen, ketrolac, piprofen, indoprofen, celecoxib, rofecoxib, mobicox, and benoxaprofen. The NSAIDs of this invention are either commercially available or can be prepared by standard literature procedures. For the puφose of defining the scope of this invention, an EGFR kinase inhibitor is defined as a molecule which inhibits the kinase domain of the EGFR. Compounds which are EGFR kinase inhibitors can readily be identified by one skilled in the art using numerous methods, including the following standard pharmacological test procedure which measures the inhibition of the phosphorylation of the tyrosine residue of a peptide substrate catalyzed by EGFR kinase. Briefly, the peptide substrate (RR-SRC) has the sequence arg-arg-leu-ile-glu-asp-ala-glu-tyr-ala-ala-arg- gly. The enzyme is obtained as a membrane extract of A431 cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, MD). A431 cells are grown in T175 flasks to 80% confluency. The cells are washed twice with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) without Ca2+. Flasks are rotated for 1.5 hours in 20 ml PBS with 1.0 mM ethylenediamine- tetraacetic acid (EDTA) at room temperature and centrifuged at 600g for 10 minutes. The cells are solubilized in 1 ml per 5 x 10^ cells of cold lysis buffer { lOmM 4-(2- hydroxyethyl)-l-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), pH 7.6, 10 mM NaCl, 2mM EDTA, ImM phenylmethylsulfonyl-fluoride (PMSF), 10 mg/ml aprotinin, 10 g/ml leupeptin, 0.1 mM sodium orthovanadate} in a Dounce homogenizer with 10 strokes on ice. The lysate is centrifuged at 600g for 10 minutes first to clear cell debris and the supernatant further centrifuged at 100,000 g for 30 min at 4°C. The membrane pellet is suspended in 1.5 ml HNG buffer (50 mM HEPES, pH 7.6, 125 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol). The membrane extract is divided into aliquots, immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -70°C. Compounds to be evaluated are made into 10 mg/ml stock solutions in 100% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). Prior to experiment, stock solutions are diluted to 500 mM with buffer (30 mM Hepes pH 7.4) and then serially diluted to the desired concentration. An aliquot of the A431 membrane extract (10 mg/ml) is diluted in 30 mM HEPES (pH 7.4) to give a protein concentration of 50 ug/ml. To 4 μl of enzyme preparation, EGF (lμl at 12 μg/ml ) is added and incubated for 10 min on ice followed by 4 μl of the test compound or buffer; this mix is incubated on ice for 30 min. To this is added the ^P-ATP (10 mCi/ml) diluted 1:10 in assay buffer along with the substrate peptide at a concentration of 0.5 mM (control reactions get no test compound) and the reaction is allowed to proceed for 30 min at 30°C. The reaction is stopped with 10% TCA and left on ice for at least 10 min after which tubes are microcentrifuged at full speed for 15 min. Then a portion of the supernatants are spotted on P81 phosphocellulose discs and washed twice in 1% acetic acid then water for 5 min each followed by scintillation counting. The results obtained can be expressed as an IC50. Th e IC50 is the concentration of test compound needed to reduce the total amount of phosphorylated substrate by 50%. The % inhibition of the test compound is determined for at least three different concentrations and the IC50 value is evaluated from the dose response curve. The % inhibition is evaluated with the following formula: %. inhibition = 100 - [CPM(drug)/CPM(control)] x 100 where CPM(drug) is in units of counts per minute and is a number expressing the amount of radiolabeled ATP (g-33p) incoφorated onto the RR-SRC peptide substrate by the enzyme after 30 minutes at 30°C in the presence of test compound as measured by liquid scintillation counting. CPM(control) is in units of counts per minute and is a number expressing the amount of radiolabeled ATP (g-33p) incoφorated into the RR- SRC peptide substrate by the enzyme after 30 minutes at 30°C in the absence of test compound as measured by liquid scintillation counting. The CPM values are coπected for the background counts produced by ATP in the absence of the enzymatic reaction. Compounds having an IC50 of 200 nM or less are considered to be significantly active EGFR kinase inhibitors. It is prefeπed that the EGFR kinase inhibitor iπeversibly inhibits EGFR kinase, typically by possessing a reactive moiety (such as a Michael acceptor) which can form a covalent bond with EGFR.

The preparation and activity of N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2- butynamide as an EGFR kinase inhibitor are described in US Patent 5,760,041. The preparation and activity of (4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro- phenylamino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide as an EGFR kinase inhibitor are described in US Patent 6,002,008. The procedure described below emulates familial adenomatous polyps (FAP) in humans using the Min mouse (C57BL/6J-Min/+), which is a strain which has lost both copies of the APC gene. These animals develop multiple intestinal polyps (adenomas) that ultimately progress to form adenocarcinomas. The polyps that develop in Min mice express EGFR and have activated COX-2. NSAID's such as sulindac and etodoloc can reduce (but not eradicate) intestinal polyp formulation in these animals indicating that COX-2 and the ultimate production of PG's is likely responsible for these effects. The following briefly describes the procedure used and the results obtained in this standard pharmacological test procedure. Test animals were divided into four treatment groups: Group I, control; Group II, N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide; Group III, sulindac; and Group IV, combination of sulindac and N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6- quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide (hereinafter refeπed to as the NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination). The test compound was blended with a standard murine chow and animals were given ad libitum access to the food, in quantities coπesponding to the following approximate daily dosages: Group 11 - 40 mg/kg/day N-[4-[(3-bromo- phenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide; Group III - 20 mg/kg/day sulindac; and Group IV - 40 mg/kg/day N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butyn- amide and 20 mg/kg/day sulindac. The animals were treated for 60 days. The food was weighed once per week to determine consumption, and the animals also weighed weekly. On day 61, the animals were euthanized with CO 2 inhalation, and the entire intestinal tract from stomach to anus was removed. The intestinal tract was injected with Bouins fixative, and allowed to fix for several days. The intestinal tracts were then opened and the number of polyps counted. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-Test; a p value of < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. The following table summarizes the results that were obtained with N-[4-[(3- bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide. The results obtained in this standard pharmacological test procedure showed that treatment with either sulindac or N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]- 2-butynamide alone reduced polyp numbers between 50 and 68 percent. The NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination reduced polyp numbers to virtually zero, clearly showing a synergistic interaction between the NSAID and the EGFR kinase inhibitor. The above standard pharmacological test procedure was run again using lower dosages of sulindac in combination with an EGFR kinase inhibitor, as follows: Group I - control; Group 11 - 40 mg/kg/day N-[4-[(3-bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2- butynamide and 10 mg/kg/day sulindac; and Group III - 5 mg/kg/day N-[4-[(3- bromophenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide and 20 mg/kg/day sulindac. The following results were obtained. The above standard pharmacological test procedure was run again using (4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenylamino)-3-cyano-7- ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide as a representative EGFR kinase inhibitor, as follows. Test animals were divided into four treatment groups: Group I, control; Group II, (4- dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenylamino)-3-cyano-7- ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide Group III, sulindac; and Group IV, combination of sulindac and (4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenylamino)- 3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide. The test compound was blended with a standard murine chow and animals were given ad libitum access to the food, in quantities coπesponding to the following approximate daily dosages: Group II - 20 mg/kg/(4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenylamino)- 3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide ; Group III - 5 mg/kg/day sulindac; and Group IV - 20 mg/kg/(4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro- phenylamino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide and 5 mg/kg/day sulindac. The animals were treated for 60 days. The food was weighed once per week to determine consumption, and the animals also weighed weekly. On day 61, the animals were euthanized with CO 2 inhalation, and the entire intestinal tract from stomach to anus was removed. The intestinal tract was injected with Bouins fixative, and allowed to fix for several days. The intestinal tracts were then opened and the number of polyps counted. Statistical analysis was performed using the Student's t-Test; a p value of < 0.05 is considered statistically significant. The following table summarizes the results that were obtained. The results obtained in this standard pharmacological test procedure showed that treatment with (4-dimethylamino-but-2-enoic acid [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenyl- amino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6-yl]-amide alone reduced polyp numbers 87 percent while sulindac alone at the 5mg/kg dose did not reduce polyp numbers at all. The sulindac plus [4-(3-chloro-4-fluoro-phenylamino)-3-cyano-7-ethoxy-quinolin-6- yl]-amide combination reduced polyp numbers to virtually zero, again showing a synergistic interaction between the NSAID and an EGFR kinase inhibitor. The results obtained in this standard pharmacological test procedure showed that the the NSAID EGFR kinase inhibitor combination reduced the polyp numbers to virtually zero, at even lower doses of sulindac. Based on the results obtained in the standard pharmacological test procedure described above, the combinations of an NSAID with an EGFR kinase inhibitor is useful in treating or inhibiting colonic polyps and is also useful in treating or inhibiting colorectal cancer. It is also anticipated that the use of the combination of an NSAID with an EGFR kinase inhibitor will significantly reduce the dosage of NSAID used to treat or inhibit colonic polyps or colorectal cancer, and thereby reduce the therapeutic liabilities associated with NSAID treatment. The NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination of this invention may formulated neat or may be combined with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers for administration. For example, solvents, diluents and the like, and may be administered orally in such forms as tablets, capsules, dispersible powders, granules, or suspensions containing, for example, from about 0.05 to 5% of suspending agent, syrups containing, for example, from about 10 to 50% of sugar, and elixirs containing, for example, from about 20 to 50% ethanol, and the like, or parenterally in the form of sterile injectable solution or suspension containing from about 0.05 to 5% suspending agent in an isotonic medium. Such pharmaceutical preparations may contain, for example, from about 0.05 up to about 90% of the active ingredient in combination with the carrier, more usually between about 5% and 60% by weight. The effective dosage of each active ingredient employed may vary depending on the particular compound employed, the mode of administration and the severity of the condition being treated. The projected daily dosage of the EGFR kinase inhibitor will depend on its potency. For the puφose of comparison N-[4-[(3-bromo- phenyl)amino]-6-quinazolinyl]-2-butynamide has an IC50 of 2 nM in the test procedure which measured the inhibition of the phosphorylation of the tyrosine residue of a peptide substrate catalyzed by EGFR kinase. Similarly, the projected dosage of the NSAID used depends on the relative potency of the NSAID, compared for example to sulindac. Numerous methods for evaluating and comparing NSAID potency are known in the literature. Based on the results obtained in the standard pharmacogical test procedure utilizing the Min mouse, the projected oral daily dosage of the NSAID would be in the range of 2 - 30 g kg, and the projected daily dosage of the EGFR kinase inhibitor would be in the range of 1 - 50 mg/kg. This dosage regimen may be adjusted to provide the optimal therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. The NSAID and the EGFR kinase inhibitor may also be administered as a combined dosage unit, or as separate components. When administered as separate components, each component may be administered at the same time, or at different times during the treatment period. The NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination may be administered orally as well as by intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous routes. Solid carriers include starch, lactose, dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, sucrose and kaolin, while liquid carriers include sterile water, polyethylene glycols, non-ionic surfactants and edible oils such as corn, peanut and sesame oils, as are appropriate to the nature of the active ingredient and the particular form of administration desired. Adjuvants customarily employed in the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions may be advantageously included, such as flavoring agents, coloring agents, preserving agents, and antioxidants, for example, vitamin E, ascorbic acid, BHT and BHA. The prefeπed pharmaceutical compositions from the standpoint of ease of preparation and administration are solid compositions, particularly tablets and hard- filled or liquid-filled capsules. Oral administration of the NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination is prefeπed. In some cases it may be desirable to administer the NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination directly to the airways in the form of an aerosol. These NSAID/EGFR kinase inhibitor combination may also be administered parenterally or intraperitoneally. Solutions or suspensions of these active compounds as a free base or pharmacologically acceptable salt can be prepared in water suitably mixed with a surfactant such as hydroxy-propylcellulose. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols and mixtures thereof in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparation contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms. The pharmaceutical forms suitable for injectable use include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersions. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol and liquid polyethylene glycol), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils.
