Abstract

A clear solution of a sulphonamide and a potentiator comprises the sulphonamide and potentiator in a 5:1 weight ratio together with a polyamino acid and a non-reducing monosaccharide in a mixture of solvents, at least 50% of which is water, and the remainder consists of water-miscible organic solvents. The solvents are mixed, and monosaccharide and polyamino acid are first dissolved in the liquid mixture, after which the sulphonamide and potentiator are dissolved with stirring at room temperature or by slight heating.

Description

SPECIFICATION Solutions of Sulphonamides and Potentiators for same, and their Production This invention relates to solutions, for injection and infusion purposes, containing a sulphonamide and a potentiator for the same, and to the production of such solutions.
It is well-known that the therapeutic effect of sulphonamides can be increased by means of certain organic compounds, so-called potentiators, generally used in the ratio of 5 parts by weight of sulphonamide to 1 part by weight of the potentiator When several active components are to be used for injection or infusion, it is preferred to combine them in a single preparation in order to ensure an optimal dosage of the individual components, and this creates problems in the case of sulphonamides and potentiators for the same.
The sulphonamides, such as for instance 4,6dimethyl-2-sulphanilamido-pyrimidine (sulphamethazine), 2-sulphanilamido-pyrimidine (sulphadiazine), 5-methyl-3-sulphanilamidoisoxazole (sulphamethoxazole), 2,4-dimethoxy-6sulphanilamido-pyrimidine (sulphadimethoxine), 3,4-dimethyl-5-sulphanilamido-isoxazole (sulphafurazole), and 2-sulphanilamido-4methylpyrimidine (sulphamerazine) are only very slightly soluble in water and form suitable salts only with bases.
On the other hand, the organic compounds, having a potentiating effect on sulphonamides, are basically reacting compounds, such as for instance 2,4-diamino-5-(3,4-dimethoxybenzyl)pyrimidine (diaveridine) and 2,4-diamino-(3,4,5 trimethoxybenzyl)-pyrimidine (trimetho-prim), which form suitable water-soluble salts only with acids.
Mixing aqueous solutions of the two components in the form of such salts, therefore, would result in a precipitation of one or both of the components.
A typical way of solving the problem of combining a sulphonamide and a potentiator is to dissolve one of the components as a salt in water, whereas the other component is dissolved in a water-miscible organic solvent or mixture of solvents.
Thus, according to the British Patent Specification No. 1,176,395, an aqueous solution of a sulphonamide salt is mixed with a solution of a potentiator in a medicinally acceptable water missile organic solvent.
As shown by the Examples of the said specification, the organic solvents form the major portion of the combined solvents, and heating to 50-750C appears necessary for dissolving the components.
The resulting solutions are strongly basic reacting, and any attempts of reducing the pH of the solutions will result in precipitation, which means, for instance, that the solutions cannot be infused together with other infusion liquids which are usually of neutral to slightly acid reaction.
Reducing of the pH may also in some cases result in the formation of insoluble complexes between the sulphonamide and the potentiator.
The object of the present invention is to overcome the difficulties presented by the differences in solubility of sulphonamides and potentiators, and with this object in mind a totally new approach to the problem is suggested, namely the use of a polyamino acid as solubilizer for the sulphonamide as well as the potentiator.
Owing to their properties of being both acids and bases, the polyamino acids should be well suited as solubilizers for the sulphonamides dissolving under basic conditions as well as for the potentiators dissolving under acid conditions.
However, it was found that the polyamino acids by themselves were not able to solubilize the two components, but that addition of a further solubilizer in the form of a non-reducing monosaccharide was successful.
Accordingly, a solution of a sulphonamide and a potentiator as provided by the present invention comprises a sulphonamide and a potentiator in the weight ratio 5:1, a polyamino acid and a non reducing monosaccharide dissolved in a solvent mixture, at least 50% by weight of which is water, the remainder being a mixture of watermiscible organic solvents.
Preferred sulphonamides are sulphadiazine and sulphamethoxazole, and the preferred potentiator is trimethoprim.
Examples of the polyamino acids are arginine, ornithine, and lysine, with arginine as the preferred one.
Examples of the non-reducing monosaccharides are sorbitol and mannitol, sorbitol being preferred.
In the solvent mixture, the water content usually amounts to 5075%. The preferred organic solvent mixture is either a 1:1 mixture of ethanol and benzyl alchohol, or a 1:1:2 mixture of ethanol, benzyl alcohol and propylene glycol.
In the production of the solutions according to the invention, water and the organic solvents are mixed, and the monosaccharide and the polyamino acid are dissolved in the mixture, after which the sulphonamide and the potentiator are added and the mixture is stirred, possibly under slight heating, until a clear solution has formed, which is then sterile-filtered and autoclaved to form the final product.
In order to prevent a possible oxidation of the sulphonamide, the process is carried out under nitrogen.
The following Examples are illustrative of the products of the invention and their production.
Example 1 Preparation of a potentiated sulphonamide solution for infusion purposes A mixture is prepared from 6000 g of redistilled water, 1000 g of 96% ethanol, and 1000 g of benzyl alcohol, and 500 g of sorbitol are dissolved in the mixture by stirring at room temperature. To the resulting solution, 800 g of sulphamethoxazole, 160 g of trimethoprim, and 800 g of L-arginine are added with stirring at room temperature, and stirring is continued until all solids are dissolved.
The resulting solution is sterile filtered and autoclaved at 121 CC, after which it is ready for use.
The whole preparation is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere to avoid oxidation problems.
Example 2 Preparation of an injectable composition A mixture is prepared from 4000 g of redistilled water, 1000 g of 96% ethanol, 1 000g of benzyl alcohol, and 2000 g of propylene glycol, and 500 g of sorbitol are dissolved in this mixture with stirring. Then, 1 50 g of L-arginine are dissolved in the solution, after which 1 50 g of sulphadiazine and 300 g of trimethoprim are dissolved in the solution by stirring with heating to 400--420C. Additionally, 1350 g of sulphadiazine are suspended in the warm solution, and 465 g of a 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution are slowly added with stirring to dissolve the suspended sulphadiazine.
The resulting solution is sterile filtered and autoclaved at 121 OC to make the final injection solution.
All of the preparative steps are carried out under nitrogen.
