Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of tropical disease.
- Tropical diseases for example, malaria and leprosy, have hitherto been prevented and treated by periodic administration of a dose of a drug to combat offending parasites present in the body.
- the drug is generally administered orally or by injection, and passes through the body so that frequent dosage is necessary.
- An object of this invention is to provide a composition which is effective against tropical disease and which can provide a prolonged supply of a drug to a body with infrequent administration.
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising a polymeric matrix of a copolymer of the compound of Formula I. with at least one comonomer having more than one functional group selected from hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, characterised in that the composition contains in admixture with the polymeric matrix a drug which is in organic nitrogen compound of basic reaction and which is effective against a tropical disease.
- Drugs of particular effectiveness are, cycloguanil, pyrimethamine and sulphadiazine.
- Drugs which are effective against tropical disease normally contain nitrogen atoms and are consequently basic in character. This can cause considerable problems in the preparation of the composition of this invention as the copolymerisation reaction between the compound of formula I and the compound or compounds having more than one functional group selected from OH and COOH groups is acid catalysed; thus, admixture of such a drug with the copolymerisation reactants can result in a neutralisation reaction between the drug and the acid catalyst with consequent prevention or restriction of the copolymerisation.
- compositions of this invention are malaria, leprosy, schistosomiasis and clonorchiasis.
- Examples of drugs which can be used in the present composition to combat these and other tropical diseases are quinine, sulphonamides, chlorphenyl derivatives, chloroguanide, pyrimethamine, trimethoprim, quinoline derivatives such as pamaquine, chloroquine, pentaquine, primaquine and amodiaquine, pararosaniline, sulphamethizole, quinacrine, dapsone, sodium sulphoxone, sulphetrone, sodium hydnocarpate and sodium chaulmoograte.
- the compound having two or more groups selected from OH and COOH groups is preferably a compound which occurs naturally in and/or is benign to the human body.
- Examples of compounds containing two or more groups selected from OH and COOH groups which can be used in the present invention are:
- compositions of this invention are prepared by copolymerising a compound of formula I as hereinbefore defined with at least one compound having more than one group selected from OH and COOH groups in the presence of an acidic catalyst and in the presence of an organic nitrogen compound of basic reaction which is effective against tropical disease.
- the compound of formula I hereinbefore which is a mixture of stereoisomers, is a colourless liquid having a high boiling point, a very low level of oral toxicity and no known detrimental effect on skin. It may be prepared according to the following reaction sequence:
- the processes provided by the present invention may be carried out by simply mixing the compound of formula I with a compound having two or more groups selected from OH and COOH groups or with a mixture of such compounds in the presence of an acidic catalyst, advantageously at an elevated temperature such as from 60°C to 100°C, especially at 80°C, and then adding to the resulting mixture and homogeneously distributing therein the appropriate amount of the desired drug.
- the mixture thus obtained can then be allowed to cure, suitably at an elevated temperature.
- the drug should not react with the catalyst, and it may therefore be in the form of a salt, for example its hydrochloride, or be insoluble in the reaction medium.
- This can be effected, for example, by the addition of an amount of a primary, secondary or tertiary amine such as triethylamine, a quaternary ammonium hydroxide or a basic inorganic oxide or hydroxide sufficient to neutralise the activity of the acidic catalyst.
- the drug preferably in salt form or in dispersion, can then be added to and homogeneously distributed in the resulting mixture and subsequently the copolymerisation can be allowed to proceed to completion by the addition of further acidic catalyst.
- Suitable acidic catalysts which may be used in the present process include inorganic acids such as hydrochloric acid and sulphuric acid, organic acids such as a paratoluenesulphonic acid etc and Lewis acids such as zinc chloride, tin tetrachloride, aluminium chloride and ferric chloride.
- the preferred acidic catalyst is ferric chloride.
- the amount of acidic catalyst used is not critical, but it is expedient to use from 0.01 % to 2.0%, particularly from 0.04% to 1.0% based on the total weight of the mixture.
- the ratio of the compound of formula I to the compound having two or more groups selected from OH and COOH groups can be varied. It is convenient to use stoichiometric amounts, although the use of amounts which deviate considerably from stoichiometry is also possible.
- the copolymerisation may also be carried out in the presence of an inert pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or an inert pharmaceutically acceptable oil, whereby the nature of the resulting medicinal composition is modified.
- An example of such an oil is olive oil.
- the inert pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or oil may be added as such or it may serve as a solvent or dispersant for other components of the copolymerisation mixture.
- the drug may be dissolved or dispersed in the inert pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or oil.
- the drug is gradually released therefrom over a prolonged period and, at the same time, the copolymer is biodegraded to substances which can be readily disposed of by the body.
- the copolymer is preferably one formed between the compound of formula I and a compound which occurs naturally in and/or is benign to the human body. Hydrolysis, especially acid hydrolysis, of such copolymers yields predominantly the latter compounds themselves.
- the hydrolysis fragments of the compound of formula I are the following: all of which are readily oxidisable for disposal by the body.
- the rate of release of the drug from a composition provided by this invention can be controlled by a variety of methods. For example, in a copolymer prepared using given components the density of the cross-linking can be altered. Again, for example, the nature and amount of inert pharmaceutically acceptable solvent or oil which may be present in the composition can be varied.
- compositions provided by the present invention which are based on cross-linked copolymers are based on cross-linked copolymers (i.e. matrices) is that such copolymers have a so-called glassy state (in which they are hard and brittle) and a rubber-like state, the change from the glassy state to the rubber-like state occurring at the so-called glass transition temperature.
- the drug is gradually released and, at the same time, the copolymer is gradually biodegraded, this resulting in gradual reduction of the glass transition temperature.
- the glass transition temperature is reached the rubber-like state occurs and the copolymer becomes more rapidly biodegraded.
- body temperature there is a rapid onset in the degradation. It will accordingly be evident that it is highly desirable to provide compositions based on cross-linked copolymers which initially have a glass transition temperature which lies somewhat above body temperature.
- compositions provided by the present invention may be administered for example by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection or implantation.
- a composition of appropriate particle size can be dispensed in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier material adapted for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.
- a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier material adapted for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration.
- the rate of release of the drug can be controlled.
- Forms adapted for implantation include, for example, pellets, films, discs and rods. Such implant forms can be prepared in a conventional manner.
- composition of the invention a combination of drugs to obtain most effective prophylaxis or treatment of a tropical disease.
- a solution of the ferric chloride in the glycerol is warmed to 80°C and the compound I is added dropwise while warming and stirring between the additions.
- Compound I is initially incompatible with the glycerol, but by gradual additions and warming until the mixture becomes one phase, a stage is reached when the glycerol mixture will more readily accept the additions of compound I and become homogeneous.
- the mixture is removed from the heating source and the amodiaquine is added to form a dispersion in the monomer mixture.
- a temperature of 80°C is maintained until polymerisation is complete and the desired polymer matrix is obtained containing 5% of amodiaquine by weight.
- the dispersion referred to in the preceding paragraph can be used to prepare discs for implantation as follows:
- Example 1 According to the procedure described in Example 1, the following ingredients were used to prepare a polymer matrix containing amodiaquine.
- Example 1 According to the method of Example 1, the following ingredients were used to prepare a composition comprising a dispersion of 25.8% of sulphamethizole in a polymer matrix.
- Example 1 According to the method of Example 1, the following ingredients were used to prepare a polymer matrix containing cycloguanil
- composition was worked-up as pellets for subcutaneous implantation 6 mm in diameter and 2 mm thick.
- composition was worked-up as a powder and as an implant of the same dimensions as in Example 4.
- the powdered product was tested in powder form of particle size (a) ⁇ 53p and (b) 53 ⁇ 96 ⁇ .
- the powder (a) was suspended in glycerol and injected into the test mice: powder (b) was implanted. Prolonged protection in excess of five months of the test mice against the action of Plasmodium Bergei has been observed.
- Example 1 According to the method of Example 1, the following ingredients were used to prepare a polymer matrix containing pyrimethamine.
- the product was formed into a pellet for subcutaneous implantation into test mice.
- the mice were protected against Plasmodium Bergei for periods in excess of three months.
