Description

The present invention relates to therapeutic compositions based on 3-alkoxyElavone derlvatives, which have in particular an antiviral activity.
3-Alkoxyflavone derivatives are compounds having the following basic structure:

`r in which Ro is an alkyl group.
European Patent 0 019 081 described 3-alkoxy-flavone derivatives possessing an antiviral activity.
The derivatives have a hydroxyl group or a derived group in the 5-position and a hydroxyl or alkoxy group in the 7-position, the 6-position and 8-position being unsub-stituted. These compounds are described as inhibiting the reproduction of rhinoviruses, enteroviruses, coxsackieviruses and polioviruses.
Nevertheless, some of these 3-alkoxyflavones have relatively low cytotoxic dose/active dose ratios, prohibiting any practical therapeutic application.
Others have even proved inactive.
It has now been found that certain particular classes of 3-alkoxyflavones have a substantial antiviral activity with cytotoxic dose/active dose ratios which permit therapeutic application.
The présent invention thus relates to a thera'peutic composition containing an effective amount of a compound of the formula :

In the above definition, the expression "a halogen atom" denotes a chlorine, bromine, iodine or fluorine atom.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are the addition salts which the compounds form with pharma-ceutically acceptable acids, as well as the salts which the compounds containing an acid group (COOH) form with pharmaceutically acceptable bases.
The expression "addition salts with pharma-ceutically acceptable acids" denotes salts which givethe biological properties of the free bases without having any undesirable effects. In particular, these salts can be those formed with mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, nitric acid and phosphoric acid, with metal salts con-taining acid hydrogens, such as disodium orthophosphate and monopotassium sulphate, and with organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, glycolic acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, tartaric acid and pamoic acid.
Likewise, the expression "salts with pharma-ceutically acceptable bases" denotes salts which do not modify the biological properties of the free acids. In particular, these salts can be those formed with in-organic bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium ~284~

hydroxide, lithium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide andmagnesium hydroxide, or with organic baseS such as glucamine, N-methylglucamine, N~N-dimethylglucamine~
ethanolamine, diethanolamine, morpholine, N-methyl-morpholine and tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine.
To the knowledge of the Applicant Company, thecompounds of the formula I belonging to the class defined under 1) are novel compounds.
The compounds belonging to the classes defined under 2) to 7) are products of natural origin or derivatives of products of natural origin.
The Applicant Company has also found that 3,3', 4',5,6,7,8-heptamethoxyflavone has an antiviral activity.
The compound was described in US-A-3 867 541 as havina an aggregation-inhibiting activity, with no suggestion of a viral activity. The invention also relates to the use of this compound for the manu-facture of a pharmaceutical composition for treating viral diseases.
In general terms, the 3-alkoxyflavones used in the present invention can be obtained by one of the following processes:
1) Alkylation of 3-hydroxyflavones according to the following scheme:

In this method, any hydroxy groups present can be protected, if necessary, and deprotected after the reaction.

A number of 3-alkoxyflavones which can be used in the present invention are present in plants and can be obtained by extraction.
The extraction method is as follows:
The leaves of the plants are macerated with 80~ ethanol at room temperature for 2 hours, with stirring. After maceration, the leaves are filtered off and the filtra-tion residue is percolated with the same solvent. The filtrate and the percolation liquid are combined and concentrated in vacuo (at a temperature below 40C) to give a thick extract. The extract is partitioned between 90% methanol and hexane (or a 40-60 petroleum ether).
The methanol phase is separated off and evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is partitioned between l2s464al water (pH 5) and ethyl acetate. The etHyl acetate phase is separated off and evaporated to dryness. The residue obtained is subjected to countercurrent chroma-tography, dropwise, using a chloroform/water/methanol mixture (7:8:13) as the eluent by the descending tech-nique. The effluent is monitored at 355 nm and by thin layer chro~atography or by high performance liquid chromatography, and the antiviral activity of the fractions is tested. The fractions with antiviral activity are evaporated and then chromatographed on Sephadex~LH 20 using methanol as the eluent, and the eluate is monitored as before. The active fractions are chromatographed on a column of silica gel impregna-ted with 5% of water, a hexane/ethyl acetate/acetic acid mixture (5:3:1) being used as the developer in accordance with the "dry column" technique. This gives the pure active 3-alkoxyflavones.
The examples which follow illustrate the prepara-tion of the compounds of the formula I.

~2a4640 Furthermore, the 50% lethal dose (LD50), the 90% and 99% effective doses (EDgo and EDg9) and the 90% and 99% therapeutic indices (TIgo and TIg9) were determined using the following methods:
a) Preparation of the compounds The compounds were prepared at a dose of 1 mg/ml in a maximum volume of 0.1 ml of dimethyl sulphoxide, the volume being made up to 12 ml by the addition of a maintenance medium M-2. The dilutions were made up with the maintenance medium M-2.
b) Determination of the antiviral activity by the method known as the "end point titration technique"
Monolayers of VER0 cells in microdishes were infected with 10-fold dilutions of the virus ~polio type I). After absorption of the virus onto the cells (60 minutes, 37C), the compounds ln the medium M-2 are added to the infected cultures. The dishes were incubated at 37C for a sufficient time to allow the cytopathogenic effect (CPE) to appear. The antiviral activity was determined on the basis of this effect.
The viral strength reduction factor is calculated for each dilution as the ratio of the dilution of the virus with no cytopathogenic effect to the dilution of the virus ~ compound with no cytopathogenic effect.
The 90% effective dose, EDgo, is the dose at which 90~ of the viruses are inhibited.
The 99% effective dose, EDg9, is the dose at which 99~ of the viruses are inhibited.
c) Determination of the lethal dose The LD50 is the concentration at which 50% of the growth of the normal cells is inhibited. This was determined using a suspension of 5 105 VER0 cells in 10 ml of E199 medium to which 6% of calf serum (CS) and gentamycin (20 micrograms/ml) have been added. The compounds were added to give final concentrations of 1~84~

200, 100, 75, S0, 25, 10, 5, 3, 2, 1, ~,1 an-1 0,01 micro~rams~ml~
d) Calculation of the therapeutic index The TI90 and TIg9 ar~ the value of the LD50 divided by EDgo and ED99 respectively.
The results are given in Table VI:

The therapeutic compositions according to the invention can be administered topically, orally or parenterally to humans or animals.
They can be in the form of solid, semi-solid or liquid preparations. Examples which may be mentioned are tablets, gelatin capsules, suppositories, injectable solutions or suspensions, ointments, oil-based or water-based eye lotions, mouthwashes and nose and ear solutions, as well as delayed-action forms.
In these compositions, the active principle is generally mixed with one or more of the usual pharma-ceutically acceptable excipients which are well known to those skilled in the art.

~2B4640 The therapeutic compositions which can be administered topically can contain in particular from 0.1 to 5% by weight of active principle.
The therapeutic compositions which can be administered orally or parenterally can contain in par-ticular from 1% to 60% by weight of active principle.
The amount of active principle administered obviously depends on the patient being treated, the method of administration and the severity of the disease.
However, for oral or parenteral administration, it is possible to administer about 100 to 1000 mg -3 to 6 times per day. For topical administration, it is possible to administer from 0.1 to 100 micrograms/cml 3 to 6 times per day.
