Full Text The present invention relates to a method of producing a medicament for treating a viral disease.
The present invention relates to the use of Parapoxviruses in combination with other agents for the treatment of viral diseases, and in particular HIV infections and AIDS. The invention also relates to methods for producing medicaments based on combinations of Parapoxviruses and other antiviral agents. In particular, the invention relates to the use of Parapoxviruses in combination with agents of the kind used for antiretroviral therapy (ART) and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART).
The use of PPVO for the treatment of viral infections is known [1]. The use of PPVO for enhancing the immune system is also known [2].
HAART is a known therapeutic procedure for reducing the viral load of HIV infections (HI viral load). It is also known that HAART produces an increase in the patients' CD4+ cells [3]. Those skilled in the art are aware that HAART does not, however, result in the elimination of the virus and the infection persists with a reduced viral load. It is also known that HAART does not elicit the permanent reconstitution of the immune system [4]. If the therapy is terminated or interrupted the viral load rises again and the number of CD4+ cells falls [5].
A combination of HAART and cytokines (such as IL-2) strengthens the immune system in HAART patients, although permanent reconstitution of the immune system is not elicited and side-effects occur [6].
Other types of therapy (e.g. the re-infusion of autologous, ex vivo expanded or modified HIV-specific CTL (cytotoxic T-lymphocyte) clones) increase the CD8+ cell response. This increase is however also only transient [7]. The precise cause of immunodeficiency and the correlates of the immune protection from HIV have not so far been elucidated [8]. If the HI virus load is reduced by antiviral treatment at an early stage during the primary infection, effective immunity specifically against the immune deficiency virus can be established [9], By contrast, no enhancement of the HIV-specific immune response occurs in chronically infected patients treated with HAART. Quite the contrary, the HIV-specific immune response is even reduced [8]. Experiments by Lu et al. indicate that the defect in the immune control could lie in the induction phase of the immune response, i.e. in the initiation of a virus-specific response by dendritic cells [10]. These authors succeeded in demonstrating that SIV-infected Rhesus monkeys display a specific cellular and humoral immune response after the adaptive transfer of autologous dendritic cells loaded with inactivated HIV particles.
As is clear from the abovementioned prior art, no therapeutic method has so far been disclosed which not only reduces the viral load in chronically infected patients but also simultaneously elicits the permanent reconstitution of the immune systems of infected patients.
The present invention is therefore based on the technical problem of providing a therapeutic method which not only reduces the viral load of patients but also provides for the permanent reconstitution of the immune system. This therapeutic method should also have few or no undesirable side-effects.
The present invention is furthermore based on the technical problem of providing medicaments for use in a therapeutic method according to the invention.
Brief description of the figures
Figure 1: TNF-a production of CD14hlgh monocytes of healthy or immunocompromised donors after stimulation with PPVO. Whole blood of two donors in each case was analysed. Blood of (A) healthy donors, (B) HIV-infected donors (HIV+) or (C) transplantation patients (Tx) was incubated for 6 hours with Staphylococcus Enterotoxin B (SEB; 2.5 u.g / ml), PPVO (6 x 10s viral particles), vehicle as placebo control for PPVO, or lipopeptide (LP 1 ng / ml). Subsequently the relative amount (in %) of TNF-a producing CD14h'8 monocytes was determined by FACS analysis.

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may be administered in oral forms, such as, without limitation normal and enteric coated tablets, capsules, pills, powders, granules, elixirs, tinctures, solution, suspensions, syrups, solid and liquid aerosols and emulsions. They may also be administered in parenteral forms, such as, without limitation, intravenous, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and the like forms, well-known to those of ordinary skill in the pharmaceutical arts. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be administered in intranasal form via topical use of suitable intranasal vehicles, or via transdermal routes, using transdermal delivery systems well-known to those of ordinary skilled in the art.
The dosage regimen with the use of the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention is selected by one of ordinary skill in the arts, in view of a variety of factors, including, without limitation, age, weight, sex, and medical condition of the recipient, the severity of the condition to be treated, the route of administration, the level of metabolic and excretory function of the recipient, the dosage form employed.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are preferably formulated prior to administration and include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Excipients are inert substances such as, without limitation carriers, diluents, flavoring agents, sweeteners, lubricants, solubilizers, suspending agents, binders, tablet disintegrating agents and encapsulating material.
Yet in another embodiment, the pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention comprises one or more pharmaceutical ly-acceptable excipients that are compatible with the other ingredients of the formulation and not deleterious to the recipient thereof. In making the compositions of the present invention, the active ingredient may be mixed with a diluent, or enclosed within a carrier, which may be in the form of a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. The carrier may serve as a diluent, which may be solid, semi-solid, or liquid material which acts as a vehicle, or can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols, ointments, containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active pharmaceutical

composition, soft and hard gelatine capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions and sterile packaged powders.
For oral administration, the active ingredient may be combined with an oral, and non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier, such as, without limitation, lactose, starch, sucrose, glucose, sodium carbonate, mannitol, sorbitol, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate, methyl cellulose, and the like; together with, a optionally, disintegrating agents, such as, without limitation, maize, starch, methyl cellulose, agar bentonite, xanthan gum, alginic acid, and the like; and optionally, binding agents, for example, without limitation, gelatin, polygeline, natural sugars, beta-lactose, corn sweeteners, natural and synthetic gums, acacia, tragacanth, sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, waxes, and the like; and, optionally, lubricating agents, for example, without limitation, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, stearic acid, sodium oleate, sodium benzoate, sodium acetate, sodium chloride, talc, and the like.

The formulation may be in unit dosage form, which is a physically discrete unit containing a unit dose, suitable for administration in human or other mammals. A unit dosage form can be a capsule or tablets, or a number of capsules or tablets. A "unit dose" is a predetermined quantity of the active pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with one or more excipients. Dosages will vary from about 103 to about 1012 physical number of viral particles per application or will be based on physical number of particles/kg/day.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dose may be administered in divided doses, two, three, or more times per day. Where delivery is via transdermal forms, of course, administration is preferably continuous.

Additional aspects of the invention are illustrated by the following examples.
Example 1; PPVO induces maturation of dendritic cells in vitro
Dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells that play a major role in initiating primary immune responses. Their phenotypic and functional characteristics are intimately linked to their stage of maturation [11]. Stimulation of whole blood cells with PPVO leads to maturation of DCs thereby converting them to a functional status where they are able to induce immune responses very efficiently: PPVO is able to stimulate TNF-a expression in CD14h'8h monocytes (fig. 1) as well as in immature DCs. TNF-a production in CD14h'8h monocytes from whole blood samples is not restricted to healthy donors but PPVO stimulates TNF-a expression also in CD14h'gh monocytes from immunosuppressed HIV patients as well as transplantation patients (fig. 1). In addition stimulation of whole blood with PPVO for 24 hrs leads to the activation of T-cells (CD4+ and CD8+) as seen by the expression of the early activation marker CD69 in blood from healthy and immunocompromised donors (data not shown). Therefore, in immunosuppressed and in particular in HIV infected patients the early steps of immune response seem to be influenceable by PPVO.
Example 2: HIV in hu-PBL-SCID
To test the activity of PPVO against HIV the immune modulator was investigated in the hu-PBL-SCID Model. Briefly, SCID mice were transplanted with human PBMC's. Animals with confirmed reconstitution were selected and infected with HIVBai by intraperitoneal injection. Treatment was initiated 30 minutes after infection. AZT (100 mg / kg / day) was given twice a day orally whereas PPVO was given only twice weekly by i. p. route. One dose of PPVO consisted of 2 x 104 antigen units measured by ELISA. Placebos (pyrogenfree PBS and vehicle control) were used following the respective treatment schedules. Mice were sacrificed in the third week after HIV infection. Viral load was monitored in RNA extracted from spleen tissue. Compared to placebo (PBS + Vehicle) PPVO treatment could be demonstrated to reduce HIV viral load. Addition of PPVO to standard antiretroviral therapy (AZT) led to even better inhibition of HIV replication - viral load was reduced significantly (p Example 3: S1V
The hu-PBL-SCID mice represented the acute phase of HIV infection. Usually treatment of HIV infected persons starts later in the course of infection. In order to examine the efficacy of PPVO in a clinically more relevant setting the SIV (simian immunodeficiency virus, simian homologue to HIV) infection model was employed.
14 rhesus monkeys were infected with SIV. The first treatment interval was initiated after viremia at the beginning of the chronic phase at eight weeks post infection (p. i.) for 9 weeks. 4 animals were treated with antiretroviral therapy (ART), 4 were treated with PPVO and 4 were treated with

both, ART and PPVO. 2 animals were placebo treated and served as controls. ART treatment was given daily subcutaneously whereas PPVO treatment was given only twice a week by intramuscular injection. A second and a third 8-week treatment interval was initiated at week 22 and 51 p. i., respectively, with intraveneous application of PPVO.
No toxicity of PPVO was observed during the whole experiment. The number of surviving animals is increased and their lifespan is extended in PPVO plus ART treated compared to animals treated with ART or PPVO alone (fig. 3). This is not due to ART as a decrease in viral load was observed in both groups treated with ART but life span extension is only seen in the PPVO + ART group (fig. 4). As shown in figure 5A and 5B PPVO treatment leads to regain of CD4+ cell count, in the ART plus PPVO as well as in the PPVO alone group (mean at week 59 p. i.: 452 or 390 CD3+CD4+ cells / ul blood, respectively) whereas ART alone treatment results in continuous loss of CD4+ cells (mean at week 59 p. i.: 33 CD3+CD4+ cells / ul blood) (fig 5A and 5B).
PPVO leads to an increase in CD8+ cells, even more effectively when combined with ART (fig. 6). ART alone does not lead to higher CD8+ cell count. CD4+/CD8+ ratio is slowly decreasing in nearly all animals (data not shown).
Even if viral load could not be reduced in this hard to treat model of SIV disease these are very intriguing results. As seen by the increase in CD4+ and CD8+ cells PPVO enhances the T cell response in these chronically infected animals. Immune defense against pathogens seems to be enhanced as extrapolated from the extended life span and higher number of surviving animals in the ART + PPVO treatment group.
