Combination preparation, comprising 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide and N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide A solid preparation, comprising 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide and N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide is suitable for treating immunological diseases.

Description

1.

Description . Combination preparation, comprising 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide and N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl~2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide The European Patent Application with the publication number 0 013 376 disclosed that 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide (compound 1 ) has antifieumatic, antiinflammatory, antipyretic and analgesic activity and can be employed against multiple sclerosis.
Pharmaceuticals which comprise the active compound 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide are administered orally in doses of from 25 mg to 150 mg.
The European Patent Application with the publication number 0 217 206 reports that N-(4-trifluoromethylphenylr2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide (compound 2) has immunomodulating properties and is suitable for treating chronic graft-versus-host disease and autoimmune diseases, in particular systemic lupus erythematosus. Pharmaceutical preparations which comprise a compound 1 or compound 2 can be administered in a dose of from 10 to 200 mg, preferably, however, of from 50 to 100 mg, in the case of an injection solution in ampoule form (intravenous), in particular based on compound 2 or a salt thereof, of from 1 to 30 mg, preferably of from 5 to 10 mg, and, in the case of rectal administration, of from 50 to 300 mg, preferably of from 100 to 200 mg. However, the oral administration of 5 mg or 10 mg of compound 1 or compound 2, in each case on its own, per kg does not have any significant effect.
It has been found that a combination preparation, which comprises compounds 1 and 2, exhibits surprisingly advantageous immunosuppressive effects. The addition of small quantities of compound 2 to the main active component compound 1 results in a marked increase in the activity of the combination preparation. Due to the magnitude of this effect, the use of this combination can be extended to areas which hitherto remained closed to an immunosuppressive therapy using the individual components. Furthermore, the reduction in the dose, without any decreased activity, leads to greater safety in use. At the same time, it can be assumed that a reduction in the dose in association with unchanged activity will enable the therapy costs to be lowered substantially.
The invention relates, therefore, to a solid preparation which comprises component 1 ) 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide, component 2) N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide and/or a physiologically tolerated salt of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide and/or a stereoisomeric form of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide and 3) a pharmaceutical excipient, wherein the content of component 1 is from 2 to 20 mg and the content of component 2) is from 0.3% to 50% of that of component 1 ).
The compounds 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide and N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide can be produced using known methods (EP 0 529 500). N-(4-Trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide having the following structural formula NC-C-C- NH ~ ~ CFA
c HO/ \CH3 is employed as such and/or a physiologically tolerated salt of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide andlor a stereoisomeric form of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide in the preparation according to the present invention.
Examples of suitable physiologically tolerated salts of N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide are alkali metal, alkaline earth metal or ammonium salts, including those of physiologically tolerated organic ammonium bases.
The novel solid preparation is suitable, for example, for treating - acute immunological events, such as sepsis, allergy and graft-versus-host reactions and host-versus-graft reactions - autoimmune diseases, in particular rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythrematosus and multiple sclerosis - psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, asthma, urticaria, rhinitis and uveitis - type II diabetes - hepatic fibrosis, cystic fibrosis and colitis - cancerous diseases, such as lung cancer, leukemia, ovarian cancer, sarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, meningioma, intestinal cancer, lymph node cancer, brain tumours, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer or skin cancer.
The novel solid preparation can also comprise combination packs or compositions, in which the components are juxtaposed and can therefore be administered simultaneously, separately or at graded time intervals to one and the same human or animal body. According to the invention, components 1 and 2 can also be present in juxtaposed, separate medicinal forms, in particular when the spatial dimensions of the medicinal forms make administration more difficult. This applies, in particular, to the oral forms, since elderly patients often have an aversion to large tablets or capsules. It is imperative that the separate, juxtaposed medicinal forms are arranged so that they can be taken at the same time. In this context, different forms, for example a tablet and a capsule, can also be present alongside each other.
The invention furthermore relates to the use of a combination of compounds 1 and 2 for preparing a pharmaceutical which exhibits a hyperadditive increase in the immunosuppressive effect.
The invention furthermore relates to a process for producing the novel preparation, wherein compounds 1 and 2 and a pharmaceutical excipient are processed into a pharmaceutical administration form.
The novel solid preparation can be present as a dosage unit in the form of medicinal forms such as capsules (including microcapsules), tablets (including coated tablets and pills) or suppositories, with it being possible, when capsules are used, for the capsule material to exercise the function of the excipient and the content to be present, for example, as a powder, gel, emulsion, dispersion or solution. However, it is particularly advantageous and simple to prepare oral (peroral~ formulations with the two compounds 1 and 2, which formulations comprise the calculated quantities of the active compounds together with each desired pharmaceutical excipient. A corresponding formulation (suppository) for rectal therapy can also be used. Transdermal administration in the form of ointments, creams or oral administration of solutions which comprise the novel preparation, is likewise possible.
In addition to the active compounds, ointments, pastes, creams and powders can also comprise the customary excipients, for example animal and vegetable fats, waxes, paraffins, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycols, silicones, bentonites, talc, zinc oxide, lactose, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate and polyamide powders, or mixtures of these compounds.
The tablets, pills or granulate bodies can be prepared by customary processes, such as compressing, dipping or fluidized bed processes or boiler coating, and comprise excipients and other customary auxiliary substances such as gelatin, agarose, starch (e.g. potato, corn or wheat starch), cellulose, such as ethyl cellulose, silicon dioxide, various sugars, such as lactose, magnesium carbonate and/or calcium phosphates. The coating solution is normally composed of sugar and/or corn syrup and usually also contains gelatin, gum arabic, polyvinylpyrrolidone, synthetic cellulose esters, surface-active substances, plasticizers, pigments and similar additives corresponding to the state of the art. Any customary flowance agent, lubricating agent or glidant, such as magnesium stearate and mold lubricant can be used for producing the preparations.
Preferably, the preparations are in the form of casing/core tablets or multilayer tablets, with compound 2 being located in the casing or in the core or in a layer, while compound 1 is located in the core or in the casing or in another layer. Compounds 1 and 2 can also be present in delayed release form, or be adsorbed to release-delaying material or be enclosed in the release-delaying material (for example material of this kind based on cellulose or polystyrene resin, for example hydroxyethyl cellulose). Delayed release of the active compounds can also be achieved by providing the layer in question, or the compartment, with customary coatings which are insoluble in gastric juice.
The dose to be used naturally depends on different factors, such as the living subject (i.e. human or animal) to be treated, age, weight, general state of health, the severity of the symptoms, the disease to be treated, any accompanying diseases, (if present) the nature of the accompanying treatment with other pharmaceuticals, or the frequency of the treatment. In general, the doses are administered several times daily and preferably from once to three times daily. In this context, the quantities of individual active compound which are used are based on the recommended daily dose of the particular individual active compound and should, in the combination preparation, generally be from 10% to 100% of the recommended daily dose, preferably from 20% to 80%, in particular 50%.
The appropriate therapy with the novel combinations consequently comprises, for example, the administration of one, two or 3 individual doses of the preparation composed of 1 ) 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide in a quantity of from 2 to 20 mg, 2 to 19.9 mg, 4.5 to 19.5 mg, 4.85 to 19 mg, 5 to 18 mg, 5 to 15 mg, 5 to 10 mg, 5 to 9.9 mg, 5 to 9.7 or 5 to 9.0 mg and 2) N-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2-cyano-3-hydroxycrotonamide in a quantity of from 0.3% to 50%, preferably of from 0.5% to 20%, in particular of from 0.8% to 15%, particularly preferably of from 1 % to 10%, very particularly preferably of from 1 % to 5°l0; in each case based on the content of 5-methyl-4'-trifluoromethyl-4-isoxazolecarboxanilide, and 3) a pharmaceutically tolerated excipient.
The percentage values (%) of compounds 1 and 2 refer in each case to percent by weight.
The quantities of the active components naturally depend on the number of individual doses and also on the disease to be treated. The individual dose can also be composed of several dosage units which are administered simultaneously.
Example 1 Pharmacological tests Adjuvant-induced arthritis, modification in accordance with Perper (Proc. Soc. exp. Biol. Med. 137, 506 (1971 )) Male rats of a Lewis strain (Moeliegard, Denmark) having a body weight of from 160 to 210 g are used as the experimental animals. On the 1 st day, the animals are injected subcutaneously, into the tail root, with complete Freund's adjutant containing a suspension of Mycobacterium butyricum in heavy paraffin oil (Difc~; 6 mg/kg in paraffin oil; Merck). Compounds 1 and 2 are suspended in carbcxyr~;ethyl cellulose (1% in water) and this suspension is administered orally. The compounds are administered once daily from the 1 st to the 12th day of the experiment. The paw volume and the arthritis index are determined on the 18th day.
The severity of the disorder is determined by measuring the volumes of both hind paws. The measurement is carried out by the water . displacement method, using a 2060 plethysmometer (Rhema-Labortechnik, Hofheim, Germany). In addition, the arthritis index is determined on the 18th day after injection.
Determination of the arthritis index:
1. Ears 0.5 point for each ear on which redness appears and nodules are formed 2. Nose 1 point for connective tissue swelling 3. Tail 1 point for the emergence of nodules 4. Front paws 0.5 point for each paw in which at least one inflammation appears on a joint 5. Hind paws 1 point for slight inflammation (swelling) 2 points for a medium-strength inflammation 3 points for a massive inflammatory reaction Animals forming a control group are only given the solvent (1 °/a carboxymethyl cellulose in water). 6 animals are used for each dose and in the control group. A reduction in the increase in paw volume and a decrease in the arthritis index, as compared with the untreated control group, are used as the criteria for an effect having been achieved.
Table 1 shows the results. The total quantity of compounds 1 and 2 is constant in each of the different experiments.

Table 1 Compound 1 Compound 2 Decrease in Decrease in paw volume arthritis index (mg/kg of rat)(mg/kg of rat)(%) (%) 9.9 0.1 93 66 9.7 0.3 94 71 9.0 1.0 95 66 5 0 10% increase 12% increase 4.85 0.15 10 5 4.5 0.5 46 35 Both at 5 mg/kg and at 10 mg/kg of rat live weight, the effect of the novel preparation is markedly intensified by increasing quantities of compound 2.
Therefore, small additional quantities of compound 2 lead to a marked intensification of the effect of the novel preparation.
