Abstract

The present invention relates to anthelmintic compositions containing niclosamide or a salt thereof as active ingredient, and methods to form such compositions.

Description

Anthelmintic Co~hositions This invention relates to anthelmintic compositions. More particularly it relates to anthelmintic compositions containing niclosamide as active ingredient.
Niclosamide(2',5-dichloro-4'-nitrosalicylanilide) is a known anthelmintic sold by Bayer (Pty) Ltd. under the trade name "Lintex". Known compositions of niclosamide are in the form of a suspension of niclosamide in a liquid medium. These suspensions are conventionally administered to animals, in particular sheep, as a 20% (g niclosamide/100 ml carrier) formulation at a dosage rate of 1 ml per 4 kg body mass for the control of Cestode and/or Conical Fluke infestations.
In the publication by Nurtaeva, K.S., Bekhill, A.F., and Vorobeva, Z.G., 1973 Med Parazitol (Mosk) 42:86 a study of the anti-parasite efficacy of various salts of niclosamide was reported. The sodium salt showed good activity. The compounds tested were provided as mixtures with 5% starch or suspensions in water.
SummarX~the Invention It has now surprisingly been found that effective control of Cestode and/or Conical Fluke infestation may be achieved with niclosamide at a seemingly drastically reduced dosage rate if the niclosamide is administered in a composition according to the present invention.
According to the present invention there is provided an anthelmintic composition in the form of a solution comprising a pharmacologically acceptable organic solvent; and a pharmacologically acceptable dissolved salt of niclosamide in the organic solvent.
The organic solvent may comprise a polar organic solvent and preferably the solvent is a solvent selected from the group consisting of propylene glycol; glycerin;
polyeth-ylene glycol; glycofurol; isopropanol; 2-pyrrolidine; derivatives of 2-pyrrolidine; and mixtures of these solvents. In one embodiment of the invention the solvent may comprise a mixture of propylene glycol and glycerin, preferably in a i :1 (volume:volume) ratio. In an alternative embodiment of the invention the solvent may comprise propylene glycol.
In one embodiment of the invention the salt of niclosamide may comprise a non-metal salt. In one preferred embodiment of the invention the salt comprises the meglumine salt of niclosamide. Other non-metal salts of niclosamide such as the piperazine salt and the ethanolamine salt are well known.
In an alternative embodiment of the invention the salt of niclosamide may comprise a metal salt. The metal salt may comprise a tin salt. Preferably however, the salt com-prises a metal salt selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt and an alkali earth metal salt. In the preferred embodiment of the invention the metal salt comprises the sodium salt of niclosamide.
The dissolved salt of niclosamide in the organic solvent is preferably formed in situ.
This may be achieved by dissolving a base suitable for forming a salt of niclosamide in the solvent and adding niclosamide to the solvent. Preferably the base is first dissolved in the solvent and the niclosamide is subsequently added. Stirring and/or heating may be used to assist dissolution of the compounds in the solvent. The solution may also be filtered.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention sodium hydroxide is dissolved in the solvent and thereafter niclosamide is added to the solution. In this way a stable solu-tion is formed.
The anthelmintic composition may in addition also contain additional active ingredi-ents. Such ingredients may be aimed at extending the therapeutic spectrum of the formulation.
Thus, for example, the composition may contain levamisole either as a base or as hy-drohalogen salt, e.g. the hydrochloride or as phosphate salt as a supplementary active WO 98!56390 PCT/EP98/03238 ingredient so that the resultant combination formulation would be effective against both Cestode and Conical Fluke infestations (due to the presence of niclosamide] and against round worms against which levamisole is known to be effective.
An anti-oxidant may also be included in the solution and preferably it is added at the time the base is added to the solvent. The anti-oxidant may comprise sodium metabi-sulfite.
Other adjuvants such as suitable preservatives and flavourants may also be added.
The composition of the present invention may be used as an anthelmintic for veteri-nary or human use. It may be administered orally [either as a liquid, or a liquid in a capsule or in the form of a granulate or tablet made by using the aforementioned so-lution].
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of forming an antheimintic composition in the form of a solution comprising - providing a pharmacologically acceptable organic solvent; and - dissolving niclosamide in the solvent by forming a pharmacologically accept-able dissolved salt of niclosamide in the solvent.
The niclosamide may be dissolved in the solvent by providing a pharmacologically acceptable salt of niclosamide and dissolving said salt in the organic solvent.
Alternatively and preferably the dissolved salt of niclosamide is formed in situ. Pref erably the dissolved salt of niclosamide is formed in situ as described hereinabove.
The process is preferably carried out under anhydrous conditions.
The invention will now be further illustrated by way of example without thereby limit-ing the scope as envisa?ed above to the illustrated embodiment.
Example I
Propylene glycol based solution of niclosamide as its sodium salt 0.5 j Ground [i.e. powdered) NaOH and 0.1 g ground sodium metabisulfite was dis-solved in 100 ml propylene glycol with stirring.
Mild heating of the propylene glycol may be necessary to aid the dissolution of these substances. To the solution was slowly added 4 ~ of powdered [passed through an 80 mesh screen] anhydrous niclosamide with stirring until dissolved to form a 4% (g niclosamide/100 ml propylene glycol) solution of niclosamide. The resultant solution was filtered and introduced into sealed bottles. Care should be taken not to introduce water into the solution as this causes deterioration of the final product as evidenced by a browning of the otherwise clear solution.
The solution was tested by way of initial trial work on lambs using the 4%
solution against Cestode and Conical Fluke infections. Initial results indicated that less niclosamide according to the present solution was as effective as more niclosamide provided in conventional niclosamide suspensions.
Example 2 Efficacy evaluation of oral formulations of Niclosamide against a confirmed natural infestation of IVIoniezia exnansa in lambs The efficacy of a 4% niclosamide solution according to the invention, prepared as described in E~:ample 1 ["The Test Article"], was tested at various dosage rates against a commercially available niclosamide formulation made up as a 20% (g niclosamide/100 ml carrier) suspension ["The Standard"] for the control of Moniezia expansa. The Standard was administered at the prescribed dosage rate of 50 m~/k~.
The trial was conducted on the applicant's farm "Rondebult" in the Bapsfontein district in South Africa.
Examination of the ingests and staining and identification of the Moniezia expansa was done in the laboratory. Dorper lamps of approximately two months of age were utilized during the trial. The lambs were housed in a kraal for the duration of the trial S and fed Lucerne with water available on tap.
The cestocides were tested in naturally infested lambs which was confirmed on the trial premises. Moniezia expansa is readily diagnosed in the live animal.
Diagnosis was done using egg morphology and excreted strobilae although these may be digested with corresponding difficulty of identification. The trial was done on the lines of a staggered critical control test.
The animals were divided in groups and within each of the groups, and on three con-secutive days, some animals were treated with The Test Article (various dosage rates) I S some with The Standard (prescribed dosa?e rate of 50 mg/kg) and some were un-treated controls ["The Controls"] for comparison.
The animals involved in each stagger were eduipped with faecal collection bags for one day pre-treatment and three days post-treatment. The faeces thus collected were examined for the presence of strobilae.
The animals involved in each stagger were slaughtered four days post-treatment foI-lowing the procedure hereunder:
1. Animals were euthanased, skinned and the abdominal cavity opened. The gas-tro-intestinal tract was removed and from this the small intestine and caecum/colon was recovered. These were labeled with the animal's number.
2. Intestines were placed in a bucket. Water was added to both ends of the intes-tine allowing filling at each end to approximately 1-2 meters.
3. The water was allowed to flow through the intestine from both ends until a loop was formed at the bottom end located in the bucket.
4. One end of the intestine was released and the water was forced from the intes-tine by sliding the organ gently between the fingers.
5. The organ was then opened along its entire len~h using a pair of bowel scis-sots after which the wall was thoroughly washed under a stream of water. The intestine was then sealed in a glass jar after the addition of formalin for preser-vation. This was done in case later examination might be required.
6. Ingesta was recovered, sluiced through an Endecotts sieve and stored in glass jars for examination in the laboratory under direct sunlight in the plastic pans.
The results were as follows:
Number of animalsRemedy Dose Rate Animals infested at Post Mortem 7 Test Article 6 mj/kg 2 7 Test Article 8 mg/kg 2 7 Test Article 10 mj/kg 0 5 Test Article 20 mg/kg 0 3 Test Article 40 mg/kg 0 9 Standard 50 mg/kg 0 5 Control - 5 The results indicate that The Test Article is as effective as The Standard at a dosage rate as low as 10 m~/kg compound to the dosage rate of 50 m~/k~ of The Standard.
It will be appreciated that many variations in detail are possible without thereby de-parting from the scope and spirit of the invention.
