PREPARATIONS COMPRISING PHOSPHONOMYCIN AND ANOTHER ANTIBIOTIC
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical preparation with antibiotic action.
Phosphonomycin alone shows only a moderate chemotherapeutic action. The present invention enables phosphonomycin to be made usable for fully effective chemotherapy.
It has now been surprisingly discovered that the dosage of phosphonomycin may be reduced and, either with a reduced dosage or with the full dosage, thé activity spectrum of phosphonomycin may be extended to gram negative problem germs such as proteus, enterobacterial and pseudomonas germs, if the phosphonomycin is combined with a penicillin and/or a cephalosporin and/or cycloserine and/or bacitracin and/or . . .. .
VanOmyCln, The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising phosphonomycin and at least one further constituent . .
selected from penicillins, cephalosporins, cycloserine, bacitracin and vanomycin, wherein the ratio of the amount of phosphonomycin to the total amount of the at least one further constituent is in the range 1:1 to 10:1 by weight.
Preferably the composition includes a pharmacologlcally compatible carrier and any of the further constituents may be present in the form of physiologically miscible salts.
Preferably, when the composition contains penicillin, the ratio of the amount of phosphonomycin to the amount of penicillin is in the ratio 1:1 to 5:1 by weight.

,' ' ~ " , ' . ' .

. , , ~

06136~3 Preferably, when the composi-tlon contains cephalosporin, the ratio of the amount of phosphonomycin to the amount of the cephalosporin is in the range 1:1 to 8:1 by weight.
The fo:llowing penicillins may be used in the composltion o~ the invention: penicillin G, penicillin V, - propicillin, phenethicillin, azidocillin, dicloxacillin, flucloxacillin, oxacillin, cloxacillin, methicillin, carbenicillin, indanyl-carbenicillin, ticarcillin, ampicillin, amoxicillin, pivampicillin, hetacillin and ciclacillin.
; The following cephalosporins may be used in the composition of the invention: cephazolin, cephradin, ~ :
; cephoxitin, cephalorldin, cephalotin, cephacetril, cephalexin, ~ ~ -cephamandol and cephapirin. ; `
The discovery on which the invention is based is very surprising, in that a clear synergistic effect appears with all `~
combinations of phosphonomycin with the further constituents i.e. the activity of the compositlon is greater than the sum of the activities of the individual constituents. It is known that ;
in a great many cases antibiotics with known activity cannot be combined together without careful consideration and not always with advantage, as no prediction can be made beforehand -regarding the combined activity of two or more antibiotics. -There is often absolute `antagonism when a further chemotherapeutical substance supervenes, so that the combination may be absolutely less active than either of the ~ ~ -; individual components. The above specified constituents of the composition of the invention are antibiotics which inhibit cell wall synthesis. It is however not clear whether and to what ` 30 extent this action mechanism influences the properties of the composition of the invention. -~
The synergistic behaviour of the constituents of compositions according to the invention in relation to gram-.
: ~ - 2 -:,. ;;-i 106~36~3 positive and gram-negative microorganisms is clear from -the activity diagrams shown in Figs. 1 - 9 of the accompanying drawings (MIC = minlmum inhibitory concentration).
In order to prepare the diagrams of Figs. 1 - 9, combination tests were carried out with reference to S. Loewe, Arzneimittel-Forschung 3, 285 (1953) and H.F. ZipE, Arzneimittel-Forschung 3, 398 (1953). For this, dilution series were made up which contained the chemotherapeutic substance A or the chemotherapeutic substance B. These two dilution series were arranged in the form of a right angle and then made up to a complete square, so that each concentration of one substance was ~
present with each concentration of the other in a tube. The -; -minimum inhibitory concentrations should for both preparations lie in the region of the higher concentrations in the dilution series.
They are both put at 100%, and the remaining dilution stages are expressed as % of the active concentration. The medium used for the series dilution procedure was Standard-I- ;
Bouillon nutrient (Merck) pH 6.5. It was inoculated dropwise -with the corresponding dilu-tion of a 20 hour Bouillon culture.
After 18 hours of incubation, the degree of turbidity was read off with the naked eye. The table shows the minimum inhibitory -concentrations of the individual substances in the combination in comparison with those of the individual components. The values given in the table as "minimum inhibitory concentration in combination" are each marked in the corresponding graph with a circle around the measuring point. The respective minimum ~
inhibitory concentration was read off from each graph at the -point closest to the origin on the line joining the plotted points.

.. :. , ~ ~68603 The combined action of the antibiotics used according to the invention makes it possible basically to reduce the dosage of the indivldual components relative to the single use of either of the two components. Fundamentally, by using full doses the activity spectrum can be widened, but it is also possible to obtain widening of the activity spectrum using slightly smaller doses. By this means pathogenic agen-ts are therapeutically covered which are not covered by either indivi.dual. component.
Any of the constituents (i.e. phosphonomycin, penicillins, cephalosporins, cycloserine, bactracin and vanomycin) of compositions according to the invention may be used in the form of salts, for example alkaline or ammonium ~; -salts. Compositions according to the invention include all the : : ' usual forms for oral, parenteral and rectal application, for example tablets, capsules, sugar coated pills, syrup solutions, suspensions, drops, suppositories and injection solutions. For this purpose the substance is mixed with solid or liquid carriers and then made up into the required form. Examples of solid carriers are lactose, mannite starch, talcum, methylcellulose, magnesium stearate and gelatine, to which ; colouring and f;lavouring substances may be added as required.
Liquid carriers for injection solutions, preferably aqueous or aqueous/alcoholic solutions isotonic with human blood, must be sterile and pyrogen-free. They are advantageously placed in ampoules.
Compositions according to the invention may for example be used in infections of the respiratory organs, of the gall ducts and of the urinary tracts.
One or other form of application is preferred according to the combination used, e.g. the oral form of ~- application for a combination of penicillin V and cephalexin, and the parenteral form for penicillin G and cephazolin. Both .~_~ _ 5 .. ~ .

- ~L06~6~3 forms of applicatlon may however be used, such as in the combination with cephradin.
The mixing ratio between phosphonomycin and any of the further constituents may range from 1 : 1 to 10 : 1 by ;
weight.
The daily dose consists of about three individual doses, each of 1 or 2 Galenic units (e.g. capsules or ampoules).
The dosages of the combinations may be deduced from the normal daily doses of the individual components and the mix ratios. The reduced dose is the daily dose reduced to about 25%. This may be inferred for example from the following examples fox oral and parenteral forms of application.
Example 1 Combination of phosphonomycin + penicillin V (oral):
Ratio of phosphonomycin to pencillin V approximately 1:1 to 5 by weight (average ratio approximately 2.5:1 by weight).
Proposed dosage per Galenic unit (e.g. capsule): 325 ~ 130 mg (normal dose) to 160 + 65 mg (reduced dose).
- Daily dose: 3 lndividual doses each of 2 Galenic unlts for -~
normal dosage, 3 lndividual doses each of 1 Galenic unlt for reduced dosage.
Example 2 - -- :
Combination of phosphonomycin + cephazolin (intravenous - I.V.):
Ratio of phosphonomycin to cephazolin 1:1 to 8:1 by weight (average ratio approximately 4:1 by weight).
Proposed dosage per Galenic unit (e.g. ampoule): 2600 + 650 mg (normal dose) to 650 + 160 mg (reduced dose)~
