Die Erfindung betrifft neue pharmazeutische Präparate zur topischen Behandlung von Virusinfektionen, die eine antiviral wirksame Kombination eines sulfatierten Polysaccharids oder Polymeren, insbesondere Heparin, und Zinkionen in Form von dissoziierbaren Zinkverbindungen enthalten.The invention relates to new pharmaceutical preparations for the topical treatment of viral infections, which contain an antiviral combination of a sulfated polysaccharide or polymer, in particular heparin, and zinc ions in the form of dissociable zinc compounds.

F. Lebel und Gy. Hadhazy berichteten in Acta Microbiol. Acad. Sci. Hung. 13(3) 197-203 (1966) [Chem. Abstr. 66, 45191 (1987)] über Versuche betreffend die hemmende Wirkung von exogenem Heparin auf das Wachstum von verschiedenen Stämmen von Herpes simplex-Virus an Kaninchen. Das Wachstum von 5 von 6 geprüften Stämmen und die Entwicklung von Hautläsionen wurde durch kutane Injektion von 1,2 mg Heparin 1 bis 18 Stunden vor der Infektion durch die zu prüfenden Stämme gehemmt.F. Lebel and Gy. Hadhazy reported in Acta Microbiol. Acad. Sci. Hung. 13 (3) 197-203 (1966) [Chem. Abstr. 66, 45191 (1987)] on experiments relating to the inhibitory effect of exogenous heparin on the growth of various strains of herpes simplex virus in rabbits. The growth of 5 out of 6 strains tested and the development of skin lesions were inhibited by cutaneous injection of 1.2 mg heparin 1 to 18 hours before infection by the strains to be tested.

Es wurde nun überraschenderweise gefunden, dass sulfatierte Polysaccharide oder Polymere, insbesondere Heparin, und Zinkionen in Form von dissoziierbaren Zinkverbindungen zusammen eine starke antivirale Wirkung ausüben, welche die Summe der Wirkungen der Einzelkomponenten weit übertrifft. Die synergistische Wirkung der beiden Komponenten lässt sich in vitro, d.h. in Zellkulturen, z.B. auf Grund der Virus-Inaktivierung, der Hemmung der Plaquebildung und der Virus-Replikation nachweisen:It has now surprisingly been found that sulfated polysaccharides or polymers, in particular heparin, and zinc ions in the form of dissociable zinc compounds together have a strong antiviral effect which far exceeds the sum of the effects of the individual components. The synergistic effect of the two components can be demonstrated in vitro, i.e. in cell cultures, e.g. due to virus inactivation, inhibition of plaque formation and virus replication:

1. Inaktivierung von Herpes-Virus hominis1. Inactivation of hominis herpes virus

Die Präparate wurden in bidestilliertem Wasser in abgestuften Konzentrationen gemischt, mit HVH2/Ang. beimpft und während 1 Stunde bei 35°C inkubiert. Die Bestimmung des Virusgehaltes in den Kontaktgemischen erfolgte auf Hühnerembryofibroblasten im Plaquetest. Die Proben wurden in Hanks'-Lösung+0,05% Albumin verdünnt auf Zellmonolayer von Hühnerembryofibroblasten gegeben. Nach 90 Minuten Virusabsorption wurden die Kulturen 2-mal gewaschen, mit 4 m LY-Agaroverlay [HanksLösung mit 0,5% Lactalbuminhydrolysat und 0,01% Yeastolate (Hefeextrakt)J versetzt und dann bis zur Zählung der Plaques (96 Stunden) bei 35°C inkubiert.

Schlussfolgerungen aus den Resultaten der drei VersuchsreihenConclusions from the results of the three test series

In den obigen Versuchsanordnungen ist die synergistische Wirkung der erfindungsgemässen Kombination von Heparin und Zinksulfat deutlich erkennbar. Besonders bemerkenswert ist bei der Virus-Inaktivierung gemäss Tabelle I, dass jede Komponente allein in allen geprüften Konzentrationen praktisch unwirksam war, während die Kombination von je einem Drittel der Maximalkonzentration der einzelnen Konponenten den Virusgehalt der Hühnerembryrofibroplasten bereits um 102 verminderte. Aus Tabelle II ergibt sich u:a., dass Heparin allein nur schwach wirksam ist, jedoch sowohl Heparin als auch Zinksulfat-heptahydrat in der niedrigsten Konzentration zusammen mit jeder Konzentration der zweiten Komponente eine höhere Wirkung ergeben als die nächsthöhere Konzentration der zweiten Komponente allein. Mit der Kombination von 6.10-6 g/ml Zinksulfat-heptahydrat und 3.10-8 g/ml Heparin wird bereits die Wirkung von 25.10-6 ml Zinksulfat-heptahydrat allein, und mit je 6.10-6 g/ml Zinksulfat-heptahydrat und Heparin wie auch mit 12.10-6 g/ml Zinksulfatheptahydrat und 3.10-6 g/ml Heparin nahezu die Wirkung der Kombination von 25.10-6 g/ml Zinksulfat-heptahydrat und 6.10-6 g/ml Heparin erreicht. Die Virus-Replikation wird gemäss Tabelle III von Zinksulfat in der höchsten Konzentration von 25.10-6 g/ml nur mässig, dagegen von Heparin in der einzigen geprüften Konzentration von 6.10-6 g/ml, entsprechend der höchsten in den andern Versuchsreihen, infolge der starken Absorptionshemmwirkung des Heparin deutlich gehemmt; alle geprüften Kombinationen zeigen indessen eine noch mindestens 10-mal stärkere Wirkung als die Einzelkomponenten.The synergistic effect of the combination of heparin and zinc sulfate according to the invention can be clearly seen in the above test arrangements. It is particularly noteworthy with the virus inactivation according to Table I that each component alone was practically ineffective in all the concentrations tested, while the combination of one third of the maximum concentration of the individual components already reduced the virus content of the chicken embryrofibroplastes by 10 2 . From Table II it follows, inter alia, that heparin alone is only weakly effective, but both heparin and zinc sulfate heptahydrate in the lowest concentration together with each concentration of the second component give a greater effect than the next higher concentration of the second component alone. With the combination of 6.10 -6 g / ml of zinc sulfate heptahydrate and 3.10- 8 g / ml heparin, the effect of 25.10 -6 ml is already zinc sulfate heptahydrate alone, and each 6.10 -6 g / ml of zinc sulfate heptahydrate and heparin as virtually achieved with 12.10- 6 g / ml of zinc sulfate heptahydrate and 3.10 -6 g / ml heparin, the effect of the combination of 25.10 -6 g / ml of zinc sulfate heptahydrate and 6.10- 6 g / ml heparin. Virus replication is moderate according to Table III of zinc sulfate in the highest concentration of 25.10 -6 g / ml, but of heparin in the only concentration tested of 6.10 -6 g / ml, corresponding to the highest in the other test series, as a result of strong absorption inhibitory effect of heparin significantly inhibited; however, all tested combinations show an effect that is at least 10 times stronger than that of the individual components.

Ebenfalls festgestellt weraen kann der synergistische Effekt der erfindungsgemäss kombinierten Wirkstoffe und zugleich die überlegene therapeutische Wirkung der Kombination im Vergleich zu andem, topisch anwendbaren antiviralen Präparaten in vivo bei der durch Infektion mit HVH2/Ang. verursachten Herpes genitalis des Meerschweinchens bei 72 Stunden nach Infektion (Stadium deutlicher Symptome) beginnender Behandlung, wobei auf die von B. Lukas et al., Arch. Ges. Virusforsch. 44, 153-155 (1974) und 49,1-11 (1975) beschriebene Methodik hingewiesen wird. Die therapeutische Wirkung der Kombination ist nicht nur stärker, sondern tritt auch früher ein als die Wirkung der einzelnen Komponenten, überdies ist die Zahl der Rezidive stark vermindert.The synergistic effect of the active compounds combined according to the invention and at the same time the superior therapeutic effect of the combination in comparison with other topically applicable antiviral preparations in vivo in the case of infection with HVH2 / Ang. caused genital herpes in guinea pigs at 72 hours after infection (stage of clear symptoms) of treatment beginning, with the results of B. Lukas et al., Arch. Ges. Virusforsch. 44, 153-155 (1974) and 49.1-11 (1975). The therapeutic effect of the combination is not only stronger, it also occurs earlier than the effect of the individual components, and the number of recurrences is greatly reduced.

Die synergistische Wirkung der obengenannten Wirkstoffe wird noch verstärkt, wenn eine Präparate-grundlage, insbesondere Gelgrundlage, verwendet wird, die einen oder mehrere Polyoxy- äthlensorbitanfettsäureester, wie Polyoxyäthylensorbitan-monostearat und/oder vor allem Polyoxyäthylensorbitan-monolaurat oder in erster Linie Poloyoxyäthylensorbitan-monooleat, enthält.The synergistic effect of the above-mentioned active substances is further enhanced if a preparation base, in particular a gel base, is used which contains one or more polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monostearate and / or especially polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate or primarily poloyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. contains.

Die erfindungsgemässen pharmazeutischen Präparate enthalten die oben definierten Wirkstoffe vorzugsweise in Kombination mit für die topisChe Applikation geeigneten pharmazeutischen Trägerstoffen. Als Formen von erfindungsgemässen Präparaten kommen insbesondere Tinkturen, Lösungen, Cremes, Salben und vor allem Gele in Betracht.The pharmaceutical preparations according to the invention preferably contain the active substances defined above in combination with pharmaceutical carriers suitable for topical application. Tinctures, solutions, creams, ointments and especially gels are particularly suitable as forms of preparations according to the invention.

Tinkturen und Lösungen weisen meistens eine wässerig-äthanolische bzw. wässerige Grundlage auf, der u.a. Polyalkohole, wie z.B. Propylenglykol oder Glycerin und/oder niedrige Polyäthylenglykole, als Feuchthaltemittel zur Herabsetzung der Verdunstung, und gegebenenfalls rückfettende Substanzen, wie fettsäureester von niedrigen Polyäthylenglykolen, d.h. im wässerig-äthanolischen Gemisch lösliche, lipophile Substanzen, als Ersatz für die der Haut mit dem Aethanol entzogenen Fettsubstanzen, und gegebenenfalls weitere Hilfs- und Zusatzstoffe, neben üblichen, wie den untengenannten, Konservierungsmitteln z.B. auch die bereits erwähnten Polyoxyäthylensorbitan-fettsäureester, wie Polyoxyäthylensorbitan-monolaurat oder Polyoxyäthylensorbitanmonooleat, zugegeben sind.Tinctures and solutions usually have an aqueous-ethanolic or aqueous base, which, among other things, contains polyalcohols, such as propylene glycol or glycerol and / or low polyethylene glycols, as humectants to reduce evaporation and, if necessary, lipid-replenishing substances. such as fatty acid esters of low polyethylene glycols, ie lipophilic substances soluble in the aqueous / ethanol mixture, as a replacement for the fatty substances extracted from the skin with the ethanol, and optionally other auxiliaries and additives, in addition to conventional preservatives such as those mentioned below, for example those already mentioned Polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate or polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate are added.

Cremes sind Oel-in-Wasser-Emulsioneri, die mehr als 50% Wasser aufweisen. Als ölige Grundlage verwendet man in erster Linie Fettalkohole, z.B. Lauryl-, Cetyl- oder Stearylalkohol, Fettsäuren, z.B. Palmitin- oder Stearinsäure, flüssige bis feste Wachse, z.B. Isopropylmyristinat, Wollwachs oder Bienenwachs, und/oder Kohlenwasserstoffe, z.B. Vaseline (Petrolatum) oder Paraffinöl. Als Emulgätoren kommen oberflächenaktive Substanzen mit vorwiegend hydrophilen Eigenschaften in Frage, wie entsprechende nichtionische Emulgatoren, z.B. Fettsäureester von Polyalkoholen oder Aethylenoxidaddukte davon, wie Polyglycerinfettsäureester oder Polyoxyathylen-sorbitan-fettsäureester (Tweens), ferner Polyoxyäthylenfettalkoholäther oder -fettsäureester, oder entsprechende ionische Emulgatoren, wie Alkalimetallsalze von Fettalkoholsulfaten, z.B. Natriumlaurylsulfat, Natriumcetylsulfat oder Natriumstearylsulfat, die man üblicherweise in Gegenwart von Fettalkoholen, z.B. Cetylakohol oder Stearylalkohol, verwendet.
