Abstract

A blood lipid ameliorant composition which comprises atorvastatin and one or more members selected from the group consisting of a riboflavine compound, a tocopherol compound, an ascorbic acid compound, pantethine, and taurine.

Description

SPECIFICATION
BLOOD LIPID AMELIORATING COMPOSITION
[TECHNICAL FIELD]
The present invention relates to blood lipid ameliorating compositions that contain atorvastatin in combination with one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of a riboflavin derivative, a tocopherol derivative, an ascorbic acid derivative, pantethine and taurine.
[BACKGROUND ART]
Atorvastatin reduces total cholesterol levels in the blood by inhibiting HMG-CoA
reductase activity.
It is known that each of a riboflavin derivative, a tocopherol derivative, an ascorbic acid derivative, pantethine and taurine alone reduces cholesterol levels in the blood.
Furthermore, it is known that a co-administration of a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors with either a tocopherol derivative or an ascorbic acid derivative reduces total cholesterol levels in the blood in addition to counteracting decrease of tocopherol or ascorbic acid that were decreased in the organism (Japanese Patent Kohyo No. Hei 8-505853).
However, it remains unknown whether co-administration of atorvastatin with one of a riboflavin derivative, a tocopherol derivative, an ascorbic acid derivative, pantethine or taurine synergistically decreases total cholesterol levels in the blood.
Furthermore, although atorvastatin is a highly safe remedy, it is desirable that atorvastatin can reduce total cholesterol levels in the blood when administered at lower doses, because it is necessary to administer atorvastatin for a long period.
[DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION]
The present inventors investigated drug compositions that decrease total cholesterol levels in the blood, and found that co-administration of atorvastatin with a certain vitamin or taurine reduces the total cholesterol levels in the blood at further lower doses, and completed the present invention.
The present invention comprises a serum lipid ameliorating composition comprising atorvastatin and one or more ingredients selected from the group consisting of a riboflavin derivative, a tocopherol derivative, an ascorbic acid derivative, pantethine and taurine.

The term 'riboflavin derivative' includes riboflavin and riboflavin esters such as riboflavin butyrate. Among these compounds riboflavin, riboflavin sodium phosphate, riboflavin butyrate, flavin-adenine dinucleotide, or flavin-adenine dinucleotide sodium salt are preferred. Riboflavin sodium phosphate and riboflavin butyrate are more preferred, and riboflavin butyrate is the most preferred compound.
The term 'tocopherol derivative' includes tocopherol (the racemate and its optical enantiomers) and esters of tocopherol such as tocopherol acetate (the racemate and its optical enantiomers).

Practical preparations of the blood lipid ameliorating compositions are tablets, granules (involving powders), capsules, and liquids and solutions, etc., and are manufactured following addition of the required additive agents or materials, if desired, according to conventional methods described in The Pharmacopeia of Japan.
In the preparations described above, additive agents that are conventionally used can be employed based on the preparation.
For instance, in the case of tablets, lactose and crystalline cellulose are used as diluents, magnesium aluminometasilicate, etc., are used as stabilizing agents, hydroxypropylcellulose, etc., are used as binders, and magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant.
In granules and capsules, lactose and purified sucrose are used as diluents, magnesium aluminometasilicate is used as a stabilizing agent, cornstarch, etc., are used as adsorbents, and hydroxypropylcellulose and polysorbate, etc., are used as binders.

FP0143s.doc SankyolP85362/English transla6onIGAD/22.05.03 roughly the same time. However, it is desirable that a single composition containing all components is administered.
The term "administration of individual components at certain intervals"
described above has no particular limitation, provided that each component of the composition is individually administered at different times. In this case, one component is administered and the other components can then be administered within a certain defined time period.
In the case that 3 or more components in total are contained in the composition, the term "administration of these components at the same time or individually at different times" described above involves the following ways of administration: all components are administered at the same time; all components are administered individually at different times; 2 or more components are administered at the same time and the remaining components) are administered at different times; 2 or more components are administered at different times and the remaining components are administered at the same time; and so on.

TEST EXAMPLES ASSAY OF BLOOD LIPID AMELIORATING EFFECTS
< Test Methods >
(1 ) Test Compounds Atorvastatin was synthesized at Chemtech Labo. Inc., and riboflavin butyrate, d-a-tocopherol acetate, ascorbic acid, pantethine and taurine were purchased from Mitsubishi-Tokyo Pharmaceutical Inc., Eisai Co., Ltd., NIPPON ROCHE K.K., Nacalai Tesque, Inc. and Dai-ich Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., respectively.
(2) Test Animals Beagle dogs aged 5 months were purchased from Covance Research Products Inc. and used after 1 month of quarantine and acclimatisation breeding.
(3) Preparation forms for administration, methods for preparing the formulation, and method for stocking the formulation The required amounts of atorvastatin or each component of the combination drug calculated from the body weight of each dog were weighed and filled in a gelatin capsule (112 ounce) purchased from TORPAC Inc. Capsules filled with atorvastatin were stocked in a refrigerator and those filled with combination drugs stocked at room temperature until use.
The combination drugs were filled in identical gelatin capsules.
(4) Route of administration and administration period Atorvastatin or combination drug capsules were forcibly orally administered to each of the test animals once daily between 9:00 and 12:30. Animals were fasted for 2 or 3 hr prior to administration of the capsules.
The administration period was 11 successive days.
(5) Preparation of test samples and procedures Blood (10 mL) was collected from the superficial radial vein 2 or 1 weeks prior to administration and 4, 8, and 12 days after administration was started.
Animals were fasted for approximately 18 hr prior to blood collection. Collected blood was Doc. FP0143s.doc Sankyo/P85362/English translationIGAD/22.05.03 placed in a test tube, left at room temperature for 0.5-1 hr, then centrifuged (3,000 rpm for 10 min). The obtained serum was used for assays of blood levels of total cholesterol, lipid peroxides and triglycerides according to CEH-COD-POD
methods, Yagi's methods and GK-GPO-POD methods respectively.
All these levels were determined using a fluorometer (Hitachi, Ltd., F3000), a full automatic analyzer (Monarch, Instrumentation Laboratory), and an automatic analyzer (7170, Hitachi, Ltd.).
<RESULTS>
Total cholesterol levels and so forth in the blood collected from dogs treated with either atorvastatin alone or a combination drug consisting of atorvastatin plus one of riboflavin butyrate, d-a-tocopherol acetate, ascorbic acid, pantethine and taurine were determined. All these values were converted to their relative ratios against their averaged pre-dosing levels (100) determined 2 and 1 weeks prior to drug administration. The averaged value in each group was obtained from 5 animals per group.
