NOVEL THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION OF

Abstract of the Disclosure:
4-Carbamoyl-5-hydroxyimidazole representable by the following formula:

Description

` 10';~8736 The present invention relates to a novel thera-peutic application of 4-carbamoyl-5-hydroxyimidazole, which is hereinafter referred to as Compound A, and its pharma-ceutically acceptable salts.
Compound A has been known and disclosed in The Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 74, p. 2892, (1952). However, its anticancer, antirheumatic and anti-nephritic properties have never been studied prior to the present invention.
As the result of an extensive study on the pharma-ceutical properties of Compound A, it has been found that Compound A has excellent anticancer, antirheumatic as well as antinephritic activities and is useful as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of cancer, rheumatism and nephritis.
In the following, the anticancer, antirheumatic and antinephritis activities and the toxicity of Compound A ;-are described.
(1) Anticancer activities.
The anticancer activities were estimated according to the methods described in "Oyo-yakuri", Vol. 4, p~ 521 (in Japanese). The results are described in Tables I and II.

As stated above, it is evident that Compound A is an excellent therapeutic agent for cancer, rheumatism and nephritis with low toxicity. Moreover, it is an advanta-geous merit that the agent can be administered orally as well as by injection.
Compound A is active at dosage levels of 0.3 - 1.0 g per day for adult when used in therapy of rheumatism or nephritis, and of 3 - 10 g per day for adult when used in cancer therapy.
Compound A may be used in free form, or prefer-ably, in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable addition salt thereof. Among these salts are, for example, the ~~~
hydrochloride, the sodium salt, etc.
One of the preferred routes of administration is orally, in the form of an oral dosage unit, for example a tablet or capsule. A sustained capsule is also acceptable.
These compositions are formulated in a manner well-known to pharmaceutical chemists, utilizing standard pharmaceutical excipients such as syrup, gum arabic, gelatin, sorbit, tragacanth, polyvinylpyrrolidone, lactose, glucose, corn
- 6 -1~78736 starch, calcium phosphate, glycine, magnesium stearate, talc, polyethylene glycol, silica, potato starch, sodium lauryl sulfate and so on. Tablets can contain correctives, dye stuffs, lubrieants and so on.
Oral adminstration may also be effected using a liquid formulation, for example, water or oil emulsion, solution, s~rup, elixir, and other forms. Dried matter which is dissolved in water or other vehicles before use is also acceptable. These liquid preparations can contain the acceptable additives, for example, sorbit syrup, methyl-cellulose, glucose/sugar syrup, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, aluminium stearate gel, oil, wax lecithin, monooleic sorbitan, gum arabic, almond oil, frac-tionated coconut butter, oil esters, propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, propyl p-hvdroxybenzoate, sorbic acid, and if necessary, dye stuffs, perfumes and so on.
Injectable compositions can contain aseptics and solubilizers. The compositions are also acceptable in the form of suspension, solution or emulsion, and can contain suspenders, stabilizers, dispersers and so on. On the other hand, active component may be presented in the powdery form which is dissolved in an appropriate vehicle such as pyrogen-free sterilized water before use.
These compositions can contain, at least, more than 0.1 ~ by weight, preferably 10 - 60 ~ by weight of the active compound. In the case that the composition is ; composed of the unit dosage form, it should preferably contain 5 - 250 mg of the active component.
When Compound A is administered intravenously, it should preferably be formulated to soluble forms such as the sodium salt or the hydrochloride.
Representative compositions containing the active component follow in the examples. ~;
Example l (Injectable composition) Sterile 4-carbamoyl-5-hydroxyimidazole hydro-chloride (10 mg) was aseptically put into an ampoule and sealed to prevent from humidity and microbial contamination.
Before use, it was dissolved in 2 ml of 0.5 % (w/v) lidocaine solution.
