Calcium ions combine with chlortetracycline in solution to form calcium-tetracycline chela~es. Calcium chloride is a convenient and preferred source of calcium ions, but other compounds useful for the purpose of this invention , include calcium oxide, calcium acetate and calcium sulfate.
The molar ratio of calcium to chlortetracycline in these compositions is about from 2 to 4. This ratio is advisable to produce clear stable solut}ons.
'll 2-Pyrrolidone is present as a co-solvent in a concentration I
of from about 50 to 70%, and preferably from abou~ ~0 to 70%
based on the total weight of the composition. 2-Pyrrolidone t is also known as 2-pyrrolidinone, 2-oxopyrxolidine, , a-pyrrolidone and 2-ketopyrrolidine. It has an oral LD50 of , 8 gm/kg in rats and 3.8 gm/kg by intrape~itoneal injection in 15 ~; mice. Its use allows for minimum volume per dose and excellent ', satisfactory due to low viscosity of t'ne resultant composition.
, As an optional ingredient polyvinylpyrrolidone ! may also be present in a concentration of from about 1 to 7%
,, by weight. The polyvinylpyrrolidone preferred for this 20 'I inyention is one having an average molecular weight o bet~een about 5,000 and 100,000 (K-12 to 30) and especially between , about 10,000 and 17,000 ~K - 17). It is present in ` part as a cosolubilizer and may improve tissue toleration.
,~ The stability of these solutions for therapeutic 25 , administration is still further enchanced by the use of antioxidants such as sodium or magnesium formaldehyde sulfoxylate and monothioglycerol at levels of from about 0.01 to 100%
by weight. -.~ . I
107Z~7 ¦I The pH value is adjusted if necessary to pH 8 to 10. The ¦ preferred range is pH 8.5 to 9. 5. The pH can be adjusted with an ! organic base such as monoethanolamine or with a pharmaceutically ¦l acceptable acicl, such as hydrochloric acid.
5 ¦~ The compositions of this invention are readily prepared by mixing the calcium compound with the 2-pyrrolidone and water at about 50C and slowly adding the chlortetracycline antibiotic !
with stirring and adjusting the pH to the desired range. If polyvinylpyrrolidone is to be included it is added to the 2-pyrrolidone and wa~er before the addition of the ¦ calcium compound as previously described.
These compositions are also easy to syringe over a wide temperature range and are satisfactory from a physical and ¦ chemical stability standpoint.
¦ The use of these high potoncy chlortetracycline compositions ¦¦ enables a reduction of the numb~or of injections that must be administered to large animals, such.as steers, in order to receive an effective dose.
The primary application is as a parenteral composition ¦, but the new compositions can also be used for topical or oral ~ ap~lication.
