FIELD OF THE INVENTION :: ::
This invention relates to a topical preparation ~ .:
. ~ ,.
for treating otopathy which contains ofloxacin or a salt thereof as an active lngredient.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
: Conventionally employed topical preparation for ;;~
~- treating otopathy include solutions -containing ;~
antibioticsf. such...as . fradiomycin,.. kanamyc.in, chloramphenicol, and cefmenoxime.
Howeverl it has been pointed out that these preparations have oto:toxicity as side effects or . .
:~ therapeutic effects thereof tend to be decreased due to 15 emergence of resistant microorganisms. -. .-.~.. i.
~ SUMMARY:OF THE INVENTION .. `.
; In order to overcome the above-described problems, .
: the inventors have conducted extensive investigations and, ,, : as a result, reached the present invention. .. :.`;
~ The present invention relates to a topical preparation for treating otopathy which contains ofloxacin or a salt thereof as an active ingredient.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION .. ; .............. .:
The salt of ofloxacin includes acid addition salt~
25 formed with organic or inorganic acids, e.g., hydrochloric .

1 acid, and salts formed fro~ the carboxyl group and an alkali metal, e.g., sodium and potassium.
The otopathy on which the preparation of the present invention is effective includes inflammatory otopathy, such as otitis media and otitis externa, and ~ particularly purulent otitis meclia, circumscript external : otitis and diffuse external otitis.
Dose forms of the topical preparation of the present invention -include spraysï -otic-solutions-, e.g.., ; l.Q intratympanic.in3ections.and ear drops.,..~intmen.ts~...and.the like.
The solutions can be prepared by dissolving ofloxacin in water, physiological saline, or an ~ appropriate buffer, adding, if desired, antiseptics, e.g., :~ 15 methyl p-hydroxybenzoate and benzalkonium chloride, to the ofloxacin aqueous solution, and adjusting the solution to : a p~ in a neutral region. The concentration of ofloxacin . . :
in the aqueous solution usually ranges from about 0.05 to ~: about 2% w/v, and preferably from 0.1 to 1% wjv. The ointments can be~prepared~in a usual manner.
`: In administration- of the ofloxac~n solution, -:~
several 0.5 m~-doses per day are `applied to the external ,; , , ~ ~ , auditory canal by spreading, spraying or instillation, or intratympanically injected through a puncture of the :
~ 3 3 ~
1tympanic membrane. The ofloxacin ointment can be applied to the external auditory canal in an adequate dose. ~
Ofloxacin is of high safety. Acute toxicity ~ :
(LD50) of ofloxacin was found to be 5450 mg/kg ~p.o.) in :
5mice, 200 mg/kg or more (p.o.) in dogs, and from 500 to 1,000 mg/kg (p.o.) in monkeys.
The preparation according to the present invention exhibits marked improvements over the conventional drugs - in terms- of- not - only~-ototoxicity--but also t-issue - ., :.
~ O-- distribution and..... excellent.. .ther.apeu.ti.c.. ef.fec.ts.. on ........... -. :

Ofloxacin was dissolved in physiological saline, and the solution was treated in the same manner as in ~;~ Example 1 to prepare a 0.3% ofloxacin aqueous solution.
TEST EXAMPLE-l~
, . : .
I0 1) Test Method~
~~ Fifteen white guinea~pigs were divided into the following two groups: 10 in an ofloxacin group topically administered with a 0.3% ofloxacin solution (hereinafter referred to as ~l0.3% OFLX group") and 5 in a control group ~15 ~ administered with physiological saline.
Before testing, the auditory brain-stem response (herelnafter referred to as "ABR") of each animal was determined to obtain a response threshold. A ~ogon sound wave having a frequency of 10,000 was used as a stimulating sound.
The left tympanic;membrane was punctured under general anesthesia, and 0.2 me of the ofloxacin solution of Example~ 3 or 0.2 m~ of the control solution (physlological saline) was injected~ into the tympanic :, ~ .

of ofloxacin was negligible.
TEST EXAMPLE 2 ~ ;~
1) Test Animal and Administration Route~
20~ Twenty-nine guinea pLgs showing normal Preyer's `~-reflex~Ibody weight: ;250 t~ 350 9) were divided into the following three groups; 12 in a group receiving topical `
administration of 0.5% ofloxacin solution (hereinafter -~
;re~erred to as ll~o.s% OF~X group"); 13 in a group topically 25administered with gentamicin ~hereinafter referred to as :

1 "GM group"); and 4 in a control group administered with physiological saline.
After ketalar and a muscle relaxant (xylazine) were intramuscularly administere~1, an incision of 2 mm in diameter was made at the middle ear from the posterior portion of the ear of the guinea pig, and a tube of the same diameter was inserted into the tympanic cavity through the opening and sealed and fixed with an adhesive.
- The incision wound was temporarily sutured and closed.-Immediately after the operation, ABR ~as r-ecorded. -From the same day, 0.2 me of a 4% gentamicin solution, 0.2 mC
., ~.,~
of the ofloxacin solution of Example 2, or 0.2 me of the control solution (physiological saline) was injected through the tube into the tympanic cavity. The injection was made once a day for consecutive 10 days. On the 10th day, ABR was again recorded, and the animals were killed. ~ ;
2) ~ethod of Observation:
i) Measurement of ABR: -An ear drum lead was used for the measurement of ABR. The ground electrode was placed on the foreleg of the same side as the injected ear of the guimia pigs. A
clicking sound waB given to the external auditory canal from a tube via a crystal receiver. The auditory response was given as a reaction wave, and an average of 200 measurements obtained by a computer was recorded by an XY

- A sample tissue-(cochlea) was ~horoughly washed in ~;~ a jet stream of physiological 5aline and fixed in a 2.5%
glutaraldehyde solution for 12 hours using a conventional method. Then, the tissue was again washed with a phosphate buffer solution (p~ 7.4) by shaking, fixed in a 1~ osmic acid solution for 1 hour, and electrically .
~ stained with osmium tannate. The tissue was dehyrated ~ .:
with an alcohol using a conventional method and dried at a ~ critical Point, followed by sputtering with platinum ions.
`~ ~ 20 The sample thus prepared was observed under a Hitachi S-570 Model scanning electronmicroscope.

The middle ear mucosa was stripped off after thorough washing of the middle ear cavity with physiological saline. Thereafter, the cochlear perilymph was collected by a glass capillary.
The concentration of the drug in the tissue was biologically assayed according to a paper disc method using B. subtilis ATCC 6051 and E. coli Kp as test micro-organisms.
The serum was used as untreated for the test. The brain tissue was homogenized together with an equal weight of a 0.1M phosphate buffer solution (p~ 7.0) in a glass-, .
made homogenizer to prepare a 50% homogenate solution. ;
Sampling of the perilymph and the middle ear mucosa was carried out within the same time zone, and the ~
samples were pooled in the cold. After measuring the ;

As can be seen from Table 3, the ofloxacin ~ `
concentration in the serum was less than 0.19 ~g/m~ in most of the cases of the OFLX group. Therefore, ofloxacin did not distributed to tissues other than the middle ear.
In particular, from the~fact that the concentration of ~;~ - ofloxacin in the brain was less than 0.20 ~g/g in all ~

- 11 - ~ :
~ ' ' '' ;.'"'; ', l cases, the same level in the controls. Therefore, it was considered that side effects on the central nervous system, which are liable to be induced by the use of new quinolone-type antibacterial agents, were not involved at all in case of administration of ofloxacin to the ear. On the other hand, distribution of ofloxacin to the middle ear mucosa, which is of the most important from the standpoint of effectiveness, was higher than 40 ~g/g, ;~ As above demonstrated, ofloxacin, when topically administered into the ear, caused substantially no ototoxicity and exhibited excellent distribution to the desired middle ear mucosa without showing substantially no distribution to tissues, particularly to the brain, other than the desired tissues. Thus, the ofloxacin topical preparations for otopathy according to the present invention are believed to be of extremely high clinical use.

It is known that otitis media and otitis externa ; 20 are induced through bacterial infection. Hence, anti~
~; bacterial activities of ofloxacin on all the bacteria isolated from the lesion of a patient suffering from purulent otitis media were assayed in comparison with other drugs for otopathy. The results obtained were shown in Table 4 below.
