Description
AP/5-17812/+
Iniectable Parasiticidal composition The present invention relates to a composition for controlling parasites harmful to animals, which composition is parenterally injectable and contains at least one sparingly soluble benzoylphenylurea as active ingredient.
Injectable formulations are often the most favourable forrn of administration because even small arnounts of active ingredient can be dosed very accurately, they are easy to administer and they cause negligible distress to the animals to be treated, especially relatively large productive livestock, such as, for example, cattle, sheep, horses and donkeys. When, however, sparingly soluble substances, such as, especially, benzoyl-phenylureas, are used in the form of injectable formulations, problems occur in producing an effective plasma level, that is to say, an even distribution of a sufficient arnount of active ingredient in the plasma, because the injected material is influenced by the tissue fluid and, for example, the physico-chemical propenies of the material can thus be so changed that a considerable proponion of the injected material crystallises very rapidly and, as a result, remains at the site of injection or very close thereto. For example, benzoylureas, such as N-[3-(3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridyl-2-oxy)-4-chloro-phenyl]-N'-[2,6-difluorobenzoyl]-urea, can be dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone (approximately 35 %; here and hereinafter, percentages are weight-per-volume percentages). Although those solutions are water-miscible, they have the disadvantage that, when injected parenterally, a considerable amount of the injected material is precipitated on contact with the tissue fluid, remains at the site of injection and therefore contributes nothing to the achievement of as high a plasma level as possible.
The use of such solutions is therefore uneconomical and, especially in the case of animals that are later to be slaughtered and used as food for animals or especially humans, is possible only to a limited extent owing to the local concentration of injected material.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that, by the addition of l-substitnted azacycloalkan-2-ones, it is possible to produce parenterally injectable formulations of sparingly soluble benzoylphenylureas with which a very markedly increased bioavailability is achieved. As a result, the high level of activity known ~ se of this class 20~3~
Iniectable Parasiticidal composition The present invention relates to a composition for controlling parasites harmful to animals, which composition is parenterally injectable and contains at least one sparingly soluble benzoylphenylurea as active ingredient.

The use of such solutions is therefore uneconomical and, especially in the case of animals that are later to be slaughtered and used as food for animals or especially humans, is possible only to a limited extent owing to the local concentration of injected material.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that, by the addition of l-substitnted azacycloalkan-2-ones, it is possible to produce parenterally injectable formulations of sparingly soluble benzoylphenylureas with which a very markedly increased bioavailability is achieved. As a result, the high level of activity known ~ se of this class 20~3~
of compound can be exploited even in this accurately dosable form of administration. The composidons according to the invention differ from conventional compositions in advantageous manner in that the injected material is better distributed in the plasma and therefore considerably less mate~ial has to be injected to achieve an effec~ of the same intensity as in the case of conventional compositions, or in that, when the same amounts of active ingredient are used, it is possible with the compositions according to the invention to maintain a high plasma level over a distinctly longer period of time than in the case of conventional compositions.
The present invention accordingly relates to a composition for controlling parasites, which composition is parenterally injectable and contains (a) from 0.1 to 10 %, preferably from 0.5 to 7 % and especially from 1 to 5 %, of at least one benzoylphenylurea as active ingredient, (b) from 0.1 to 60 %, preferably from 0.1 to 50 %, especially from Q5 to 10 %, of a l-substituted azacycloaLIcan-2-one, (c) from 2 to 90 %, preferably from 40 to 85 %, of a physiologically tolerable surfactant or mixture of surfactants, (d) if appropriate, as stabilising component, from 0.05 to 1 % of an acid or a buffer mixture and ~e) ad 100 % of a physiologically tolerable hydrophilic solvent or mixture of solvents or a mixture of physiologically tolerable hydrophilic and lipophilic solvents.
The above information is to be understood as meaning that component e) is alwayspresent, that is to say, the sum of components a), b), c) and d) cannot be 100 %.
Advantageously, the type and amount of solvent is chosen first in accordance with the type and amount of active ingredient and later, if necessary, further solvent is added to the total mixture ad 100 %. The solvent used to make up the amount may be that used to dissolve the active ingredient or may be a different solvent. The term "solvent" is also used here to mean "mixture of solvents".
"Parenterally injectable" is to be understood within the scope of this invention as meaning that the composition containing the dissolved active ingredient can be introduced into the body subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously, for example under the skin, into the muscle tissue or into the blood vessels, by means of a cannula (injection syringe, 202~S3G
infusion, etc.), by-passing the gastro-intestinal tract.
Intramuscular and, especially, subcutaneous administration are preferred within the scope of the present invention. According to the invention, it is possible to formulate and administer any sparingly soluble benzoylphenylurea.
The preparation and mode of action of benzoylureas have already been described in numerous publications, for example in PCT Patent Application WO 86/03941 and European Patent Applications EP-0,079,311 and EP-0,179,022.

202~36 The use of l-substituted azacycloaLkan-2-ones, including azone (Azone~), as penetration enhancers in transdermal systems (penetration into and through the skin after topical administration) is known, for example, from US 4 557 934 and the corresponding patent publication EP 0 129 284. Those references describe the carrier function of l-substituted azacycloalkan-2-ones, which amounts to an improved penetration of the skin batTier in the case of certain active ingredients. Japanese Patent Applications JP 63-002 923 and JP
61-263 914 disclose azone as a formulation auxiliary in preparations for controlling tumours.
Within the scope of the present invention, suitable physiologically tolerable surfactants are especially non-ionic surfactants.

The present invention accordingly relates to a composition for controlling parasites, which composition is parenterally injectable and contains (a) from 0.1 to 10 %, preferably from 0.5 to 7 % and especially from 1 to 5 %, of at least one benzoylphenylurea as active ingredient, (b) from 0.1 to 60 %, preferably from 0.1 to 50 %, especially from Q5 to 10 %, of a l-substituted azacycloaLIcan-2-one, (c) from 2 to 90 %, preferably from 40 to 85 %, of a physiologically tolerable surfactant or mixture of surfactants, (d) if appropriate, as stabilising component, from 0.05 to 1 % of an acid or a buffer mixture and ~e) ad 100 % of a physiologically tolerable hydrophilic solvent or mixture of solvents or a mixture of physiologically tolerable hydrophilic and lipophilic solvents.
The above information is to be understood as meaning that component e) is alwayspresent, that is to say, the sum of components a), b), c) and d) cannot be 100 %.
Advantageously, the type and amount of solvent is chosen first in accordance with the type and amount of active ingredient and later, if necessary, further solvent is added to the total mixture ad 100 %. The solvent used to make up the amount may be that used to dissolve the active ingredient or may be a different solvent. The term "solvent" is also used here to mean "mixture of solvents".
"Parenterally injectable" is to be understood within the scope of this invention as meaning that the composition containing the dissolved active ingredient can be introduced into the body subcutaneously, intramuscularly or intravenously, for example under the skin, into the muscle tissue or into the blood vessels, by means of a cannula (injection syringe, 202~S3G
infusion, etc.), by-passing the gastro-intestinal tract.
Intramuscular and, especially, subcutaneous administration are preferred within the scope of the present invention. According to the invention, it is possible to formulate and administer any sparingly soluble benzoylphenylurea.
