Description
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
FOR TREATING MENTAL. BEHAVIORAL. COGNITIVE DISORDERS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[001] The invention relates to the field of practical medicine, namely, to the combined use of pharmaceutical compositions exhibiting a neurotropic action, alleviating manifestations of mental, behavioral, cognitive disorders in cases of organic damage of various origin to the central nervous system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[002] Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gradually worsens over time. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning— thinking, remembering, and reasoning— and behavioral abilities to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage AD, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. If untreated, AD ultimately leads to death. Although the speed of progression can vary, the typical life expectancy following diagnosis is three to nine years.
[003] A central mechanism in learning and memory is long-term potentiation (LTP).
LTP is mediated by the neurotransmitter glutamate via the NMDA receptor. The NMDA receptors can be found diffusely throughout the brain. However, they densely populate the dendrites of pyramidal cells in the hippocampus and cortex (areas known to be involved in cognition, learning, and memory). In addition to the relationship between LTP and learning, elevated glutamate levels are associated with excitotoxicity. Chronic low-dose administration of NMDA receptor agonists has been shown to induce apoptosis, while high doses induce necrosis. The activation of glutamate receptors has also been found to induce the release of glutamate. Thus, a large build-up of glutamate can occur and induce a massive accumulation of Ca2+, leading to apoptosis. It was also noted that amyloid-beta (AB) plaques increase a neuron’s vulnerability to excitotoxicity. AB plaques, a pathological feature of AD, were found to induce depolarization of astrocytes, extracellular accumulation of glutamate, and intracellular deposition
of Ca2+. Therefore, the glutamate-induced excitotoxicity pathway made an excellent target for the therapy of AD.
[004] Under physiologic conditions, the glutamate released by neurons is metabolized or taken up by neighboring cells. When these pathways are disrupted, the accumulated glutamate overexcites the NMDA receptor and induces pathology characteristic of neurodegenerative diseases. NMDA receptors act as a calcium [II] ion (Ca2+) channel that activates when bound by glycine, glutamate, and/or NMDA. However, the channel functions only when the cell membrane is depolarized due to the blockade of the channel by the magnesium [II] ion (Mg2+). This prevents the influx of Ca2+ when the neuron is at rest. Under pathological conditions, such as a chronically depolarized membrane, Mg2+ leaves the channel and neuronal metabolism is inhibited, leading to cell death. When this happens, the Ca2+ influx is unrestricted for a longer period of time than normal. This influx of Ca2+ contributes to an alteration of cell function, leading to cell death either through free radicals or through overload of the mitochondria, resulting in free radical formation, caspase activation, and the release of apoptosis-inducing factors. Antagonists to the NMDA vary in affinity and in site of action, resulting in different alterations to the channel. Regardless of the mechanism of action, antagonists decrease the permeability of the channel and prevent an influx of Ca2+. Thus, NMDA receptor antagonists are looked to as possible neuroprotective agents and potential therapies for neurodegenerative disease.
[005] Most NMDA antagonists are competitive antagonists and are not well tolerated by patients due to side effects, which can include hallucinations and schizophrenia-type symptoms. The side effects likely result from the competitive antagonists blocking physiological functions of the NMDA receptor. Its role in cognition, memory, and learning make it necessary that any drug using the NMDA receptor as a target of action must preserve physiologic function to be therapeutically useful. Memantine acts on activated NMDA receptors by binding to a site located in the channel of the receptor.
[006] Memantine is a fast-binding antagonist which binds to the channel in a pseudo- first order manner. However, it also dissociates from the receptor quickly and in a concentration independent manner. This allows the dose to affect the binding of memantine without affecting its removal from the site of action and allowing for increased potency with minimal side effects.
In comparison with other antagonists, memantine has a much faster course of action and thus has less effect on physiologic mechanisms. For this reason, memantine offers a lot of promise in the therapy of neurodegenerative disease because it will preserve physiological function. In addition, the uncompetitive nature of memantine’s mechanism of action makes its antagonistic activity more potent in areas with massive activation of NMDA receptors. Memantine’s mechanism of action is also voltage-dependent, which leads to the removal of the memantine blockage by depolarization of the membrane. All of these characteristics make memantine a strong candidate for treating pathology induced by excito toxicity. In several studies, memantine was found to prevent neuronal death induced via excitotoxic mechanisms.
[007] However, memantine will not cure AD or prevent the loss of these abilities at some time in the future. So, AD has no current cure, and our effort is to find better ways to reverse the disease, delay and prevent it from developing.
[008] On the other hand, the genetic, cellular, and molecular changes associated with
AD support the evidence that activated immune and inflammatory processes is a part of the disease. Also, a strong benefit of long-term use of NSAIDs was shown in epidemiological studies. So, it is generally accepted that AD is partially an inflammatory disease and that inhibiting inflammation is an option of treating AD.
[009] Inflammation clearly occurs in pathologically vulnerable regions of the AD brain, and it does so with the full complexity of local peripheral inflammatory responses. In the periphery, degenerating tissue and the deposition of highly insoluble abnormal materials are classical stimulants of inflammation. Likewise, in the AD brain damaged neurons and neurites and highly insoluble amyloid b peptide deposits and neurofibrillary tangles provide obvious stimuli for inflammation. Because these stimuli are discrete, micro-localized, and present from early preclinical to terminal stages of AD, local upregulation of complement, cytokines, acute phase reactants, and other inflammatory mediators is also discrete, micro-localized, and chronic. Cumulated over many years, direct and bystander damage from AD inflammatory mechanisms is likely to significantly exacerbate the very pathogenic processes that gave rise to it. Thus, animal models and clinical studies so far strongly suggest that AD inflammation significantly contributes to AD pathogenesis. By better understanding AD inflammatory and immune-
regulatory processes, it should be possible to develop anti-inflammatory approaches that may reverse or delay or prevent developing of this devastating disorder.
[0010] Azelastine is classified pharmacologically as a second generation antihistamine and is a relatively selective, non- sedating, competitive antagonist at HI receptors. More uniquely, its inhibition of inflammatory mediators, in addition to antihistaminic and mast cell stabilizing effects, places it among the new generation of dual-acting anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition to azelastine’ s high affinity for HI receptors, its ability to modify several other mediators of inflammation and allergy contributes to its mechanism of action. In vitro and in vivo studies, as well as clinical trials support the dual effects of direct inhibition and stabilization of inflammatory cells. In vitro data indicate that azelastine’ s affinity for HI receptors is estimated to be several times greater than that of chlorpheniramine, a first- generation HI antagonist. Azelastine has only weak affinity for H2 receptors. Release of histamine from mast cells is also inhibited possibly by reversible inhibition of voltage-dependent L-type calcium channels. Inhibition of mast cell degranulation may also decrease the release of other inflammatory mediators, including leukotrienes and interleukin- 1b, among others. Azelastine also directly antagonizes other mediators of inflammation, such as tumor necrosis factor-a, leukotrienes, endothelin-1, and platelet- activating factor.

[0018] The detailed description provided below is intended as a description of the present examples and is not intended to represent the only forms in which the present example may be constructed or utilized. The description sets forth the functions of the example and the sequence of steps for constructing and operating the example. However, the same or equivalent functions and sequences may be accomplished by different examples.
[0019] Definitions
[0020] As used in the present specification, the following words and phrases are generally intended to have the meanings as set forth below, except to the extent that the context in which they are used indicates otherwise.
[0021] Mental, behavioral, cognitive disorders can include but are not limited to
Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and combinations of any thereof and other neurodegenerative disorders.
[0022] As used herein, the term "memantine" refers to memantine free base, 1-Amino-
3.5-dimethyladamantane, l,3-Dimethyl-5-adamantanamine, 3,5-Dimethyl- 1-adamantanamine, or
3.5-Dimethyltricyclo(3.3.1.1(3,7))decan-l-amine. In certain embodiments, memantine also includes any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, such as the hydrochloride or HC1 salt. Preferably, in any embodiments of the invention as described herein, the memantine is in the form of its hydrochloride salt, as memantine hydrochloride or memantine HC1. More preferably, in any embodiment of the invention as described herein, reference to the amounts and dosage ranges of memantine in oral dosage forms are to the amounts and dosage ranges of memantine hydrochloride.
[0023] As used herein, the term "azelastine" refers to azelastine free base, or 4-(p-
Chlorobenzyl)-2-(hexahydro-l-methyl-lH-azepin-4-yl)-l-(2H)-phthalazinone. In certain embodiments, azelastine also includes any pharmaceutically acceptable salt, such as the hydrochloride or HC1 salt. Preferably, in any embodiments of the invention as described herein, azelastine is in the form of its hydrochloride salt, as azelastine hydrochloride or azelastine HC1. More preferably, in any embodiment of the invention as described herein, reference to the amounts and dosage ranges of azelastine in the solid oral dosage forms are to the amounts and dosage ranges of azelastine hydrochloride.
[0024] As used herein, "treating" or "treatment" means complete cure or incomplete cure, or it means that the symptoms of the underlying disease or associated conditions are at least reduced and/or delayed, and/or that one or more of the underlying cellular, physiological, or biochemical causes or mechanisms causing the symptoms are reduced, delayed and/or eliminated. It is understood that reduced or delayed, as used in this context, means relative to the state of the untreated disease, including the molecular state of the untreated disease, not just the physiological state of the untreated disease.
[0025] The term“effective amount” refers to an amount that is sufficient to effect treatment, as defined below, when administered to a mammal in need of such treatment. The therapeutically effective amount will vary depending upon the patient being treated, the weight
and age of the patient, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, which can readily be determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The pharmaceutical compositions may be administered in either single or multiple doses by oral administration. Administration may be via capsule, tablet, or the like.
[0026] The term“about” used herein in the context of quantitative measurements means the indicated amount ±10%. For example, with a ±10% range,“about 5 mg” can mean 4.5-5.5 mg.
[0027] The pharmaceutical composition may be formulated for pharmaceutical use using methods known in the art, for example, Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems Tenth (by Loyd Allen, 2013) and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Formulations (Volumes 1-6 by Sarfaraz K. Niazi). Accordingly, incorporation of the active compounds and a controlled, or slow release matrix may be implemented.
[0028] Either fluid or solid unit dosage forms can be readily prepared for oral administration. For example, admixed with conventional ingredients such as dicalcium phosphate, magnesium aluminum silicate, magnesium stearate, calcium sulfate, starch, talc, lactose, acacia, methyl cellulose and functionally similar materials as pharmaceutical excipients or carriers. A sustained release formulation may optionally be used. In older or incoherent subjects sustained release formulations may even be preferred. Capsules may be formulated by mixing the compound with a pharmaceutical diluent which is inert and inserting this mixture into a hard gelatin capsule having the appropriate size. If soft capsules are desired, a slurry of the compound with an acceptable vegetable, light petroleum or other inert oil can be encapsulated by forming into a gelatin capsule.
[0029] Suspensions, syrups and elixirs may be used for oral administration or fluid unit dosage forms. A fluid preparation including oil may be used for oil soluble forms. A vegetable oil such as com oil, peanut oil or a flower oil, for example, together with flavoring agents, sweeteners and any preservatives produces an acceptable fluid preparation. A surfactant may be added to water to form a syrup for fluid unit dosages. Hydro-alcoholic pharmaceutical preparations may be used having an acceptable sweetener, such as sugar, saccharin or a biological sweetener and a flavoring agent in the form of an elixir.
[0030] The solid oral dosage formulation of this disclosure means a form of tablets, caplets, bi-layer tablets, film-coated tablets, pills, capsules, or the like. Tablets in accordance with this disclosure can be prepared by any mixing and tableting techniques that are well known in the pharmaceutical formulation industry. In some examples, the dosage formulation is fabricated by direct compressing the respectively prepared sustained-release portion and the immediate-release portion by punches and dies fitted to a rotary tableting press, ejection or compression molding or granulation followed by compression.
[0031] The pharmaceutical compositions provided in accordance with the present disclosure are usually administered orally. This disclosure therefore provides pharmaceutical compositions that comprise a solid dispersion comprising azelastine and memantine as described herein and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers including but not limited to, inert solid diluents and fillers, diluents, including sterile aqueous solution and various organic solvents, permeation enhancers, solubilizers, disintegrants, lubricants, binders, glidants, adjuvants, and combinations thereof. Such compositions are prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical arts (see, e.g., Ansel's Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Drug Delivery Systems, Tenth (by Loyd Allen, 2013) and Handbook of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Formulations (Volumes 1-6 by Sarfaraz K. Niazi)).
[0032] The pharmaceutical composition may further comprise pharmaceutical excipients such as diluents, binders, fillers, glidants, disintegrants, lubricants, solubilizers, and combinations thereof. Some examples of suitable excipients are described herein. When the pharmaceutical composition is formulated into a tablet, the tablet may be uncoated or may be coated by known techniques including microencapsulation to delay disintegration and adsorption in the gastrointestinal tract and thereby provide a sustained action over a longer period. For example, a time delay material such as glyceryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a wax may be employed.
[0033] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can comprise a) about lmg -
50mg of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) and/or b) about lmg to 70mg of memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) or a) about 2mg - 20mg of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) and/or b) about 2mg to 30mg of memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) or a) about 8mg - 16mg of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) and/or b) about 2mg to 5mg of
memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof). For example, the composition can comprise a) about 12mg of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) and/or b) about 3mg of memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof). Further, for example, compositions of the invention can comprise azelastine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of azelastine present in an amount in the range of about 1 mg to about 50 mg and/or memantine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of memantine present in an amount in the range of about 1 mg to about 70 mg. In embodiments, the amount of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) present in the composition can be equal to, more than, or less than the amount of memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) present in the composition. In embodiments, the amount of azelastine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) present in the composition can be 2 times as much, or 3 times as much, or 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 75, 100, or 1,000 times as much as the amount of memantine HC1 (and/or other salt thereof) present in the composition, or vice versa. Any one or more of the compositions of the invention can be used with any one or more the methods of the invention disclosed herein, or other methods of using the compositions.
[0034] It will be understood, that the amount of the pharmaceutical composition containing azelastine HC1 and memantine HC1 actually administered usually will be determined by a physician, in the light of the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered and its relative activity, the age, weight and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.
[0035] The pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical dosage forms, and tablets containing azelastine HC1 and memantine HC1 as described herein are administered to a patient suffering from a neurodegenerative disorder, such as Alzheimer’s disease, by oral administration once daily, twice daily, once every other day, two times a week, three times a week, four times a week, or five times a week.
[0036] In embodiments, the pharmaceutical dosage forms and tablets of pharmaceutical compositions containing azelastine HC1 and memantine HC1 as described herein are effective in reversing symptoms in patients with late stage Alzheimer's disease in about 6-24 weeks.
[0037] The following Examples are illustrative and should not be interpreted to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
[0038] Example 1
[0039] A 79 year old female with a weight of 51 kilograms was diagnosed with late stage
Alzheimer's disease and treated with memantine (lOmg) for 5 years. But her memory and cognitive skills continued to worsen. She could barely remember anything and could only speak a few words. She eventually had a round-the-clock assistance with her daily activities and personal caring. She couldn’t walk for more than 10 steps even with assistance. At this stage, she started a treatment with liquid oral form of the claimed pharmaceutical composition containing 12mg of azelastine HC1 and 5mg of memantine HC1 once daily. After only a month and half, with assistance she could walk. After 3 months, she had facial and eye expression and could talk for a few minutes and walked with only light assistance. After 6 months of the treatment, she could talk freely and sang songs and could walk independently. During the 6-month treatment, her weight increased by 5 kilograms.
[0040] Example 2
[0041] An 81 year old female with a weight of 55 kilograms was diagnosed with late stage Alzheimer's disease. She had a round-the-clock assistance with her daily activities including personal care, eating, walking. She could only speak less than 5 words and had an irregular sleeping pattern. She was treated with a liquid oral form of the claimed pharmaceutical composition containing 12mg of azelastine HC1 and 5mg of memantine HC1. After only a month and half, her round-the-clock assistance was reduced by around 50%. After 3 months, she could carry out her basic personal care activities herself and could speak more than 10 words.
[0042] Example 3
[0043] A 77 year old male with a weight of 66 kilograms was diagnosed with late stage
Alzheimer's disease. He could only speak a few words. He had difficulty in sleeping. His personality was described as illogical or irrational, anxious or irritable, and aggressive or hostile. He was uncooperative most of time. He needed light assistance with walking. He was monitored by an assistant round-the-clock. He was treated with tablets of the pharmaceutical composition containing 14mg of azelastine HC1 and 5mg of memantine HC1. After a month and half, his personality was described as more rational, with much less aggression with no hostility. After 3 months, he could sleep regularly and he no longer needed round-the-clock assistance. He could speak for more than 1 minute.
