Description

HOECHST AXGIENGES~LLSCHAFT HOE 92/F 049 Dr. Th/wo Description The use of xanthine derivatives for the treatment of muscle damage after interruption of the blood circulation A number of oxoalkyl- and hydroxyalkylxanthine~ promote S blood flow and can also be employad for the treatment of disorder~ of muscular energy metabolism as are present, in particular, in cases of mitochondrial myopathy (EP 0 268 585).

Tourniquets axe routinely used in surgery on the extrem-ities in order to obtain an operation area free ~f blood.
Although there are reports that interruptions of blood flow are poRsible for up to three hours, surgeons gener-ally restrict the interruption of blood flow to 90 -120 minutes (Tountas and Bergman, J. Hand. Surg., 1977 2 : 31 ~ 37) because more prolonged i~chemia with sub~e-quent restoration of blood flow leads to a number of types of muscle damage, for example swelling of the muscle fibers, degeneration of the muscle cells, slight sensory and motor damage, destabilization of the membrane of muscle cells, in which case there is disturbance of the intracellular medium, or difficulties in rehabilita-tion. It is known that damage may occur a~ter restoration of blood flow in ischemic tissue in the heart, kidney, intestine and skeletal muscles ( McCord, ~ew England, J. Med., 1985, 312 (3), 159 - 163). To date, no pharma-ceuticals which allow the time of interruption of blood circulation to be prolonged or the disturbances of function caused by the interruption of the blood circula-tion to be significantly reduced are known.

It has now been found that certain xanthine derivatives are suitable for prolonging the tLme of interruption of blood flow, for improving the syndromes which occur after interruption of blood flow and subsequent restoration of blood flow, and for reducing the changes in the intra-compartmental pressure.

20899~9 Interruption of the blood circulation in tissues, organsor extremities occurs, for example, in operations after injuries to the large arteries or vein~, after emergency opexations in case~ of severance of limbs, removal of thrombi or other occlusions in arteries or veins or in tran~plantations, for example of the kidney or heart.
Depending on the duration of the operation, there may then be more or less pronounced disturbances of function of the muscle tissue, which may range from slight dis-turbances to motor deficits, for example paralysis.Partial or brief interruptions of the blood circulation lead as a rule only to reversible damage at the start of the interruption. Intact muscle tissue with a low extra-cellular potassium content and the possibility of com-plete regeneration remains. Surprisingly, experimentalanimals with vascular occlusion in the rear extremities show a rapid recuperation o:E the muscle fibers on treat-ment with the xanthines of the formula I.

The invention therefore relates to the use of at least one xanthine derivative of the formula I

Xanthine derivatives of the formula I which are preferab-ly used are those in which R2 is methyl or ethyl and/oronly one of the two radicals R1 or R3 is the tertiary hydroxyalkyl group of the formula Ia.

Xanthine derivatives of the formula I which are further-more preferably used are those in which R1 or R3 is t(~-1)-hydroxy-~-1)-methyl]-pentyl, -he~yl or -heptyl.

In addition, xanthine derivatives of the formula I which are preferably u~ed are those in which R1 is t(~
hydroxy-(~-l)-methyl]-pentyl, -hexyl or ~heptyl~ R2 is methyl or ethyl and R3 i6 hydrogen, alkyl or alkoxyalkyl with, in each case, 1 - 4 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl with 2 - 5 carbon atoms.

7-Ethoxymethyl-1-(5-hydroxy-5-methylhexyl~3-methylxan-thine is particularly preferably used.

By muscle cells, muscle fibers or muscle tissues are meant all cells, tissues or organs which are capable of contraction, especially smooth or striated muscle tissues, as well as muscle fibers of the heart.

when this is a benzyl or diphe~ylmethyl group, ort where appropriate, hydrolytic elLmination of an alkoxymethyl or alkoxyalkoxymethyl radical from the position of the radical B and reduction of the keto group to the alcohol functionality when A or B i~ n oxoalkyl radical, at a 2~ 5 ~

reaction temperature between 0C and the boiling point of the particular reaction medium used.

The abovementioned reactionq take place under standard conditions in a known manner tEP 0 268 585, US 4 833 146).

The starting materials for the reactions are known or can be easily prepared by methods known from the literature (EP 0 268 585).

The invention also relates to phanmaceuticals which contain at least an effective amount of a xanthine derivative of the formula I, in addition to pharmaceutic-ally suitable and physiologically tolerated excipients, diluents and/or other active and ancillary substances.

The pharmaceuticals according to the invention are administered parenterally, orally, rectally or, where appropriate, also topically. The administration takes place before, during or after an interruption in the blood circulation.

The invention also relates to processes for the prepara-tion o~ a pharmaceutical wherein at least one ~anthinederivative of the formula I is converted with a physio-logically acceptable vehicle a~d other suitable active, additional or ancillary substances into a form ~uitable for administration.

~xamples of suitable solid or liquid pharmaceutical formulations are granule~, powders, coated tablets, tablets, (micro)capsules~ suppositories, syrups, 801u-tions, suspensions, emulsion~, drops or injectable solutions as well as productæ with protracted release of active substance, in the preparation of which convention-al aids such as excipients, disintegrants, binders, coating agents, swelling agents, glidants or lubricants, .

flavorings, sweeteners or solubilizers are used. Examplea of ancillary substances which are frequently used and which may be mentioned are magnesium carbonate, titanium dioxide, lactose, mannitol and other sugars, talc, lactalbumin, gelatin, ~tarch, cellulose and its deriva-tives, animal and vegetable oils, polyethylene glycols and solvents such as, for example, sterile water and monohydric or po].yhydric alcohols, for example glycerol.

Because of the pharmacological propertie~ of the xanthine derivatives, these compounds can be used in all opera-tions in hospital or outpatient procedures which are associated with use of a tourniquet and thus interruption of the blood circulation in the muscle tissue, for example for vascular injuries in which there is prolonged bloodlessnes~ in the extremities, uch as clamping of the aorta, embolus removal by surgical means or delayed treatment of severed large blood vessels. They can furthermore be employed to reduce the damage which may occur af~er restoration of blood flow to muscle fibers of the heart, or ensure the survival of muscle or skin grafts permeated by blood vessels.

The pharmaceutical product~. are preferably prepared and administered in dosage units, where each unit contains as active constituent a defined dose of at least one xan-thine derivative of the formula I. In the case of solid dosage units such as tablets, capsules, coated tablets or suppositories, this dose is up to about 1000 mg, but preferably about 100 - 600 mg, and in the case of injec-tion solutions in ampule form is up to 300 mg, preferably 20 200 mg.

Indicated ~or the treatment of a patient (70 kg) whose blood circulation has been interrupted is an intravenous infusion treatment of 100 - 2000 mg per day in early phaseR and an oral administration of 400 mg 3 times a day in the later rehabilitation phase, especially of 2û899~9 7-ethoxymethyl-1-(5-hydroxy-5-methylhexyl)-3-methyl-xanthine.

However, higher or lower doses are also appropriate in some circ~6tances. ~he administration of the dose can take place either by a single administration in the form of a single dosage unit or of several smaller dosage units, or by multiple admini~tration of divided doses at particular intervals.

Finally, the xanthine derivatives of the formula I and/or their appropriate salts can also be formulated together with other suitable active substances, for example active substances which trap free oxygen radicals, for example, 1,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one, superoxide dismutase, dimethyl sulfoxide or mannitol, heparin, ascorbic acid or deferoxamine, to prepare the abovemen-tioned pharmaceutical formulations.

20~99~9 anesthesia of the animals is induced with 15 mg/kg ketamine (Warner Lambert) intramuscularly and is main-tained with thiopentone sodium (25 mg~kg, May of Baker) intravenously. One rear extremity is emptied of blood by S a pneumatic tourniquet and an Esmarch bandage. The interruption of the blood circulation is maintained for three hours, and then the interruption is terminated and the animals are able to awake from the anesthesia. The removal of samples of muscle tissue takes place under anesthesia (15 mg!kg ketamine).

20 mg/kg compound 1 is adminiæt~red intravenously to the animals over 30 minutes before the interruption of the blood circulation.

Muscle preparation:

The removed muscle tissue is immediately frozen in isopentane at -183C. The muscle tissue is prepared as described by Dubowitz (Dubowitz et al. Muscle Biopsy A
Practical Approach, London, Bailliere Tindall, 1985, pp. 82 - 128). Microscopic sections are stained with muscle fi~er ATPase at pH 9.4 for 30 minutes, embedded and examined under a light microscope. The diameters of at least 200 muscle fibers are evaluated with a computer-ized video image analyzer.

The average diameter of each type of muscle fiber is indicated in Table 1.
