Description

Descrizione dell'invenzione industriale avente per titolo: "FORMULAZIONI FARMACEUTICHE GASTRORESISTENTI CONTENENTI COLOSTRO E USO DEL COLOSTRO PER IL TRATTAMENTO DELL'INSONNIA" Description of the industrial invention entitled: "GASTRORESISTANT PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS CONTAINING COLOSTRUM AND USE OF COLOSTRUM FOR THE TREATMENT OF INSOMNIA"

La presente invenzione ha per oggetto formulazioni farmaceutiche gastroresistenti a base di colostro animale per il trattamento dell'insonnia,e l'uso del colostro per il trattamento dell'insonnia. The present invention relates to gastro-resistant pharmaceutical formulations based on animal colostrum for the treatment of insomnia, and the use of colostrum for the treatment of insomnia.

L'insonnia è un disturbo frequente,che affligge una notevole parte della popolazione adulta dei Paesi industrializzati. Tra i responsabili noti dell'insonnia si possono citare,oltre a cause di origine organica, lo stress, l'ansia, la depressione e in generale i disturbi emotivi e psicotici, e l'uso improprio di farmaci ipnotici e sedativi. Tuttavia, in numerosi casi l’eziologia dell'insonnia resta sconosciuta. Insomnia is a frequent ailment that afflicts a large part of the adult population of industrialized countries. Among the known responsible for insomnia, in addition to organic causes, stress, anxiety, depression and in general emotional and psychotic disorders, and the improper use of hypnotic and sedative drugs can be mentioned. However, in many cases the etiology of insomnia remains unknown.

La terapia dipende principalmente dall'origine dell'insonnia: in generale, il trattamento consiste per lo più nella somministrazione di ipnotici o sedativi, quali benzodiazepine, barbiturici, derivati del cloralio,etclorvinolo,glutetimide,metiprilone,meprobamato,ecc. The therapy mainly depends on the origin of the insomnia: in general, the treatment mostly consists in the administration of hypnotics or sedatives, such as benzodiazepines, barbiturates, chloral derivatives, etchlorvinol, glutethimide, metiprilone, meprobamate, etc.

Tutti questi farmaci presentano, in misura variabile, rischi di tolleranza, dipendenza, assuefazione, overdose e effetti "rebound", oltre a effetti collaterali quali sonnolenza, stordimento e torpore (dovuti a una residua depressione del SNC) nelle ore successive al risveglio. Un altro aspetto da tenere in considerazione, al momento della prescrizione di tali farmaci, è il cosiddetto rischio suicidarlo. Inoltre i barbiturici, il cloralio idrato e la glutetimide sono controindicati in caso di trattamento con anticoagulanti cumarinici o di insufficienza polmonare grave. All these drugs present, to varying degrees, risks of tolerance, dependence, addiction, overdose and "rebound" effects, as well as side effects such as drowsiness, lightheadedness and numbness (due to a residual CNS depression) in the hours following awakening. Another aspect to take into consideration when prescribing these drugs is the so-called risk of committing suicide. Furthermore, barbiturates, chloral hydrate and glutethymide are contraindicated in case of treatment with coumarin anticoagulants or severe pulmonary insufficiency.

Pertanto è fortemente sentita l'esigenza di un farmaco che, oltre a indurre il sonno,non provochi gli effetti collaterali sopra indicati. Therefore, there is a strong need for a drug which, in addition to inducing sleep, does not cause the side effects indicated above.

La presente invenzione ha lo scopo di superare i problemi sopra indicati, mediante l'uso di formulazioni farmaceutiche gastroresistenti contenenti colostro equino o bovino o comunque di mammifero, ma preferibilmente equino,per indurre sonno fisiologico. The present invention has the purpose of overcoming the problems indicated above, through the use of gastro-resistant pharmaceutical formulations containing equine or bovine or in any case mammalian, but preferably equine colostrum, to induce physiological sleep.

La presente invenzione, inoltre, ha per oggetto l'uso di colostro equino o bovino o comunque di mammifero, ma preferibilmente equino,come induttore di sonno fisiologico. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of equine or bovine or in any case mammalian colostrum, but preferably equine, as inducer of physiological sleep.

E' stato sorprendentemente trovato che il colostro, somministrato a pazienti affetti da insonnia,agisce favorevolmente inducendo il sonno. It has been surprisingly found that colostrum, administered to patients suffering from insomnia, acts favorably by inducing sleep.

E' opportuno sottolineare che il sonno indotto dalla somministrazione delle formulazioni gastroresistenti a base di colostro secondo l'invenzione,ha carattere fisiologico, con sonno profondo senza risvegli notturni e senza riduzione del periodo di sonno REM. Inoltre viene ridotto anche il periodo di latenza del sonno. It should be emphasized that the sleep induced by the administration of the colostrum-based gastro-resistant formulations according to the invention has a physiological character, with deep sleep without nocturnal awakenings and without a reduction in the REM sleep period. In addition, the sleep latency period is also reduced.

Nella sperimentazione clinica, infatti, si è osservato che su 12 pazienti affetti da insonnia trattati, 11 rispondevano positivamente al trattamento con colostro, ottenendo un sonno profondo e fisiologico, accompagnato da un'ottima attività onirica, senza risentire di sensazioni quali stordimento o sonnolenza dopo il risveglio. In fact, in the clinical trial, it was observed that out of 12 treated insomnia patients, 11 responded positively to colostrum treatment, obtaining a deep and physiological sleep, accompanied by excellent dream activity, without being affected by sensations such as dizziness or drowsiness after the awakening.

Le formulazioni farmaceutiche gastroresistenti dell'invenzione contengono colostro in polvere o liquido in quantità da 500 mg a 5 g per dose unitaria. The gastro-resistant pharmaceutical formulations of the invention contain colostrum in powder or liquid form in quantities ranging from 500 mg to 5 g per unit dose.

Più particolarmente, le formulazioni dell'invenzione conprendono compresse gastroresistenti contenenti colostro in polvere, liofilizzato o sprayzzato,oppure perle gastroresistenti contenenti colostro liquido. More particularly, the formulations of the invention comprise gastro-resistant tablets containing powdered, freeze-dried or sprayed colostrum, or gastro-resistant pearls containing liquid colostrum.

Le compresse o perle gastroresistenti dell'invenzione vengono preparate secondo le tecniche farmaceutiche convenzionali per la preparazione di formulazioni gastroresistenti. The gastro-resistant tablets or pearls of the invention are prepared according to conventional pharmaceutical techniques for the preparation of gastro-resistant formulations.

Le formulazioni dell'invenzione ·saranno assunte dal paziente affetto da insonnia la sera,prima di coricarsi. The formulations of the invention will be taken by the patient suffering from insomnia in the evening, before going to bed.

Secondo un ulteriore aspetto dell'invenzione, le formulazioni possono contenere colostro miscelato a latte. According to a further aspect of the invention, the formulations can contain colostrum mixed with milk.
