The purposes of natural stereoisomer in useful in preparing drug formulations of tetrahydrofolic acid
The natural stereoisomer that the present invention relates to tetrahydrofolic acid is used to regulate homocysteine level in preparation, especially promotes the purposes in the methylated again pharmaceutical preparation of cysteine.Its clinical application range comprises all abnormal conditions of homocysteine level, especially prevents and treat cardiovascular disease, and prevention neurocele food deficiency disease.
" the natural stereoisomer of tetrahydrofolic acid " in the present specification represented 5-formyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5,10-methylene-(6R)-tetrahydrofolic acid or (6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, or the salt of its pharmaceutically compatible.
As medicine, tetrahydrofolic acid is so far mainly with 5-formyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid (formyl tetrahydrofolic acid) or 5-methyl-5,6,7, and the calcium salt forms of 8-tetrahydrofolic acid is used for the treatment of the megaloblast folic acid deficiency anemia; As the antidote of promoting antifol (especially aminopterin-induced syndrome and the methotrexate) compatibility in the treatment of cancer (anti-folic acid relief agent); Be used to strengthen the curative effect of fluoridizing pyrimidine; Be used for the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis; Be used for promoting some antiparasitic-as trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole-the compatibility and the toxicity that is used to reduce assorted (the dideaza)-tetrahydrofolic acid of the two denitrifications of chemotherapy.
Homocysteine is a kind of aminoacid that contains mercaptan that is formed by the methionine demethylation.In body fluid, homocysteine exists with disulphide (homocystine), mixed disulfide and epoxy product oxidation state such as (homocysteine thiolactones).
Hyperhomocysteinemiainjury is a kind of clinical disease that can have various inborn or posteriori reasons to cause.This disease causes the concentration of homocysteine in blood and urine to increase.
The common type of hyperhomocysteinemiainjury causes by lacking Guang thioketone beta-synthetase, and this enzyme is present in homocysteine changes into cysteine through cystathionie B
6In the dependent devulcanization path.Another type is that the 10-Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase causes owing to lack 5, and this enzyme is the B that homocysteine changes into methionine
12-dependency transforms provides substrate 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid.Kidney disorder also can cause hyperhomocysteinemiainjury.In all these situations, " hyperhomocysteinemiainjury " vocabulary shows the temporary transient or persistent increase of homocysteine concentration in the blood, and accompanies by the increase of homocysteine secretion of urine sometimes.
Hyperhomocysteinemiainjury causes a series of diseases, shows as the disease of serious blood vessel, eye, nervous system and skeletal system.
The increase that various clinical researches have shown homocysteine level in the serum with take place to have between the cardiovascular disease clear and definite related.The homocysteine mass formed by blood stasis is considered in the cardiovascular disease an independently risk factor.At K.L.Resch (ed.), Risikofaktor Homocystein Daten-Fakten-Strategien[Homocysteine Risk Factor-Data-Facts-Strategies], can see the information that this respect is comprehensive among Gesellschaftfur Medizinische Information ISBN 3-980 45 36-0-X., can be about hyperhomocysteinemiainjury and arteriosclerotic mutual relation with reference to L.J.Fortin et al, clinical biochemistry, Vol.28 (2), 1995, pages 155-162.At J.L.Mills etal, Supplement Publication to the Ceres Forum on June 14,1995,1996pages 756S-760S has put down in writing hyperhomocysteinemiainjury and neurocele food deficiency disease.
The natural stereoisomer of tetrahydrofolic acid both was not suggested so far in the purposes that preparation is used for regulating the pharmaceutical preparation of homocysteine level, did not see record yet.
Have now found that the pharmaceutical preparation that contains the natural stereoisomer of tetrahydrofolic acid regulating the tetrahydrofolic acid level, especially in the purposes that promotes aspect the methylating again of homocysteine.
The natural stereoisomer of tetrahydrofolic acid refers to 5-formyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5, the 10-methylene-(6R)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5, the chemical compound of 10-methine-(6R)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 10-formyl-(6R)-tetrahydrofolic acid, 5-formimino group-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid or (6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid, or the salt of its pharmaceutically compatible.Generally its reduced form can transform mutually in folic acid metabolism, so custom is used reduced form folic acid in the preparation.Yet, because the 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid participates in the Methyl transporters reaction that is generated methionine by homocysteine directly as methyl donor, so the salt of preferred 5-methyl-(6S)-tetrahydrofolic acid and its pharmaceutically compatible.Especially when lacking Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase, use this folic acid, lack this enzyme and mean as diseases such as function limitation or active reductions.The existence of thermal instability Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase should be proposed as modal a kind of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency at this.In this case, the conversion of tetrahydrofolic acid is limited, thereby it can only participate in methylation reaction limitedly.
The salt of pharmaceutically compatible should be that the pharmacology goes up on the compatible while pharmaceutics also compatible.The compatible salt of these pharmacologys and pharmaceutics can be alkali metal salt or alkali salt, particular certain cancers, potassium salt, magnesium salt, calcium salt.
The representative of " pharmaceutical preparation " this expression way is through (as oral, the sublingual administration or the rectally) of intestinal, parenteral or through epidermis (as preparation capable of permeating skin) dosage form.The organic or inorganic thing with the active component reaction not can be used as carrier, Ru Shui, oil, benzyl alcohol, Polyethylene Glycol, triglyceride or saccharide, magnesium stearate, Talcum or celluloses such as other fatty glyceride, gelatin, lecithin, cyclodextrin, lactobiose or starch.The first-selected tablet of oral medication, dragee, capsule powder, heavy syrup agent or drop, the first-selected suppository of rectally, first-selected aqueous solution of parenteral or oil solution, or lyophilized preparation.
