Description

PB60019-C
Use of Chemical Compounds for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
The present invention relates to the use of NIC, receptor antagonists for the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
NIC, receptor antagonists are known to be useful in the treatment of anxiety and depression, chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting and post-operative nausea and vomiting. Preclinical data suggest that NIC; receptor antagonists may be useful in a variety of other disorders including pain, inflammatory diseases, allergic disorders, CNS disorders, skin disorders, cough and gastrointestinal disorders.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that NIC; receptor antagonists are useful in the the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
Functional dyspepsia (FD)is a distinct type of dyspepsia. The term dyspepsia is defined as the general condition of indigestion and as such encompassed a variety of distinct dyspeptic conditions. There are several recognised types of dyspepia, the common being acid-related dyspepsia which is associated with an excess gastric acidity and may lead to peptic ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions characterized by excess gastric acidity. FD is not associated with excess gastric acidity. Rather, the primary pathophysiological causative factor for FD is unclear.
FD is a visceral hypersensitivity state characterised by chronic or recurrent upper abdominal symptoms in the absence of any identifiable organic pathology, such as a peptidic ulceration, gastric cancer, chronic pancreatitis or GERD. The absence of identifiable organic pathology is established using conventional tecniques including endoscopy, radiography, histology, and other techniques known to those skilled in the art.
The common symptoms for FD are a persistent, recurrent pain or discomfort centred in the upper abdomen, early satiety, nausea and vomiting, bloating, belching and postprandial fullness.
FD has been divided into subtypes based upon the predominant symptom(s) observed in the patient. "Ulcer like " FD is characterised primarily by pain. "Reflux-like" FD is primarily characterised by heartburn that is odfen alleviated by acid-suppressing agents. It is PB60019-C
believed that the most cases of reflux-like FD can be actually be attributed to GERD and is not actually FD because the condition can be assocuated with an organic pathology. "Dysmotility-Iike" FD is characterised primarily by discomfort, bloating, nausea, vomiting, early satiety and post-prandial fullness. "Unspecified" FD refers to FD patient having symptoms that do not fit into the above categories. Typically patients exhibit symptoms across the various sub-types.
The invention accordingly provides the use of an NΓ receptor antagonist for the treatment of functional dyspepsia
In a further aspect, the invention provides the use of an Nr^ receptor antagonist in the preparation of a medicament for use in the treatment of functional dyspepsia.
In a further aspect, the invention provides a method for the treatment of functional dyspepsia, comprising administering to that person an effective amount of an N i receptor antagonist.
In a further aspect, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for functional dyspepsia which comprises at least one NrC, receptor antagonist and is formulated for administration by any suitable route. Such compositions are preferably in a form adapted for use in human medicine and can be conveniently formulated in a conventional manner using one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or excipients.
As used herein, the term functional dyspepsia includes "Ulcer like " FD, "Dysmotility-Iike" FD and "Unspecified" FD.
