Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nutraceutical and pharmaceutical compositions useful as adjuvant for the prevention and treatment of retinopathies (macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, etc.) and glaucoma, in particular to compositions containing choline.
  • retinopathies molecular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, etc.
  • glaucoma compositions containing choline.
  • Age-Related Macular Degeneration is a degenerative disease of the macula (the central portion of the retina). This pathology is the most common cause of sight loss in persons generally over 50. The incidence statistically increase with age. ARMD is caused by several and different factors. Defective arterial circulation, whereby capillary perfusion and supply of oxygen and other nutrients essential for correct functioning of the retina are reduced, determine the typical macular damage with consequent loss of central vision.
  • Several systematic clinical studies have shown a close relationship between the diet and ARMD development: it has been demonstrated that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables (in particular green-leaf vegetables and berries) remarkably lowers ARMD incidence. Clinical studies recently carried out in the USA have shown that in patients whose diet was enriched in minerals and specific antioxidants, ARMD incidence was reduced by 25%.
  • Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy characterized by rise in intraocular pressure and loss of visual field, causing slight or severe loss of vision, as the increased intraocular pressure damages the optic nerve and retinal ganglion cells death by apoptosis.
  • the pharmacological therapy depends of the type of glaucoma, that can be primary (chronic or acute) or secondary.
  • Treatments can be either topical (administration of eye-drops containing, e.g., pilocarpine, beta-blockers, prostaglandin F2 analogues selective, alpha-agonists ff FP prostanoid receptor, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors) or systemic (administration of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors) which reduce intraocular pressure by decreasing aqueous humor production or increasing its drainage.
  • eye-drops containing, e.g., pilocarpine, beta-blockers, prostaglandin F2 analogues selective, alpha-agonists ff FP prostanoid receptor, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
  • systemic administration of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors
  • compositions comprising biologically active compounds exerting protective action on the optic nerve.
  • WO 93/18028 claims compositions containing phospholipids and antioxidants for the treatment of macular degeneration.
  • GB 1431841 discloses ophthalmic-nutritional compositions containing vitamins and choline.
  • Choline has several biological functions, for example it's a precursor of phosphatidylcholine and sphingomyelin, which are components of the cell membranes, nervous cells membranes included; as a consequence, choline administration can facilitate the biosynthesis of membrane phospholipids and exert a neuro-protective function.
  • WO 93/15717 discloses the use of a choline salt for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. It would be therefore advantageous to provide nutritional compositions which can be used as adjuvants for the prevention and/or treatment of retinopathies (ARMD, diabetic retinopathy, etc.).
  • WO 05/37262 discloses oral compositions containing citicholine as a choline donor, in combination with Vitamins A e B 6 for the treatment of eye disorders such as glaucoma and amblyopia.
  • WO 9315717 discloses the use of angiotensin II antagonists choline salts for the treatment of glaucoma.
  • compositions useful as adjutants in the prevention and/or treatment of retinopathies would therefore be advantageous. Disclosure of the invention
  • compositions containing choline or salts or derivatives thereof, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants are particularly effective as adjuvants for the prevention and/or treatment of retinopathies (ARMD, diabetic retinopathy, etc.), as well as for the prevention and/or treatment of glaucoma.
  • the invention relates to nutritional or pharmaceutical compositions containing a combination of choline, or biologically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof, unsaturated fatty acids and optionally antioxidants.
  • salts or derivatives thereof means biologically acceptable salts or derivatives, such as choline hydrochloride or choline bitartrate, preferably choline bitartrate.
  • the preferred choline derivative is cytidine-diphosphocholine, commonly known as citicholine.
  • the amount of choline in the formulations is comprised between 100 and 1000 mg.
  • saturated fatty acids indicates preferably linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
  • the formulations intended for use in the prevention and/or treatment of retinopathies will contain antioxidants selected from lipoic acid, luteine, flavonoids and minerals such as zinc and copper.
  • flavonoids quercetine, anthocyanes, proanthocyanidins and soy isoflavones are preferred.
  • the proanthocyanidins will derive from Vitis vinifera.
  • the formulations intended for use in the prevention and/or treatment of glaucoma will contain docosahexaenoic acid as the unsaturated fatty acid.
  • the formulations intended for use in the prevention and/or treatment of glaucoma will further contain biologically active substances exerting neuro-protective action, particularly vitamins of the B group.
  • said formulations will further contain one or more substances selected from inositol, forskolin, folic acid, vitamin B 12 , vitamin B 6 and quercetin.
  • compositions of the invention can be prepared according to conventional techniques and with excipients well known to those skilled in the art and disclosed, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences Handbook, XVII ed. Mack Pub., N.Y., U.S.A..
  • the compositions of the invention can be in the form of tablets, capsules, powders, granules, beads, gels, solutions or suspensions, whose posology will be determined according to the patient's needs and age.
