DONOR COMPOSITION OF NITRIC ORD AND METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANAL DISORDERS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a composition and method for treating anal disorders such as anal fissure, anal ulcer, hemorrhoidal disease and levator spasm, by the application
Topical composition of the affected Area, or close to it. In general, anal fissure (fissure in the anus), anal ulcer, acute hemorrhoidal disease and levator spasm (proctalgia fuga?) Are r '* t benign, common conditions of the anal canal that affect humans of all ages, races and sexes. However, these conditions can be problematic to deal with and drawbacks if pain is not supported. A fissure or anal ulcer is
a tear or ulcer of the mucosa or lining tissue of the anal canal, distant. Anal fissure can be associated with other systemic or local diseases, but more often it is present as a finding
isolated. The typical idiopathic fissure or ulcer is confined to the anal mucosa, and is usually located in the posterior midline, distant from the dentate line. The person with a fissure or anal ulcer frequently experiences anal pain and anal bleeding, the pain that is most pronounced during and after bowel movements. Hemorrhoids are specialized vascular areas that are located underlying the anal mucosa. Symptomatic hemorrhoidal disease is manifested by hemorrhage, thrombosis and / or prolapse of the hemorrhoidal tissues. Commonly, internal hemorrhoidal tissue swells in the anal canal during defecation causing hemorrhage and pain. As the tissue enlarges, bleeding and additional pain, prolapse, and thrombosis may result. Thrombosis of hemorrhoids is another cause, of hemorrhage and pain. Lifting spasm is a condition that affects women more often than men. This syndrome is characterized by spasticity of the levator ani muscle, a portion of the anal sphincter complex. The patient suffering from the lifting spasm may experience episodic, severe rectal pain. The physical examination can reveal the spasm of the pubiorectal muscle and the pain can be reproduced by direct pressure on this muscle. Bleeding is not always associated with this condition. The causes dependent on these anal disorders are misunderstood, but all these conditions are associated with a relative or absolute degree of the hypertonicity of the anal sphincter. In the case of fissure / anal ulcer, the abnormality seems to be a problem so far unidentified of the internal anal sphincter muscle. The internal sphincter is an involuntary, specialized muscle that originates from the circular, inner muscular layer of the rectum. Measurements of intra-anal pressure, obtained from people suffering from the typical anal fissure / ulcer disease, show an exaggerated response of the pressure to a variety of stimuli. Abnormally high intra-anal pressure is generated by the internal sphincter muscle and is responsible for the non-healing of the fissure or ulcer and associated pain. An abnormal response of pressure in the anal canal has also been observed in people suffering from hemorrhoidal disease, symptomatic.
High intra- nal pressures may be a major factor in the development of this condition. It has been postulated that the pain associated with acute hemorrhoidal disease is caused in 5 part by the spasm of the internal anal sphincter muscle. Similarly, the pain associated with the lifting spasm is induced by the spasm of the muscle itself. Several therapies have been devised to treat
I LOVE these anal disorders. Typical non-surgical therapy includes body laxatives and sitz baths. Sitz baths are useful because they induce relaxation of the anal sphincter mechanism. See for example, Shafik, "Role r ~ * of warm-water bath in anorectal conditionss The
'thermosphincteric reflex,' "J_. Cl in.
Bastroenterol .. Ié »s304-30ß, 1 * 993. Anal, topical therapy is also used in an effort to promote healing, alleviate the
pain, and reduce swelling and inflammation. Many preparations have been tried, including those containing local anesthetics, corticosteroids, astringents, and other agents. However, none of these preparations has been used.
shown that conclusively reduces the healing time or reliably relieves the associated pain. In certain cases, surgery may be used to treat anal disorders. The 5 cases of fissure / anal ulcer or hemorrhoids that are opposed to medical therapy are frequently assigned to surgical therapy. According to the proposed etiology of the fissure / anal ulcer, the normal surgical procedure, current for
The same is the anal sphincterotomy, internal, lateral. In this procedure, the internal anal sphincter muscle is partially cut, thereby reducing intra-nal pressure. Decreased pressure allows the fissure / ulcer
'* • ** > heal and also relieves the associated pain. Surgical hemorrhoidectomy removes redundant hemorrhoidal tissue, and many surgeons will perform the internal, limited, concomitant, anal, internal anal sphincter to decrease the pressure or in the anal canal. There is no successful surgical treatment for the lifting spasm. Recently, a third has been described and clarified. component of the autonomic nervous system, known as the ßl enteric nervous system (ENS, for its acronym in English). This neural network enervates the entrails in a continuous way from the esophagus to the anus. It is composed of enteric neurons, and the processes of efferent and afferent neurons, extrinsic, of the traditional autonomous system. This system regulates the motor and secretory functions of the bowels. A remarkable feature of the ENS is the diversity of the chemical messengers that are contained and se. released by enteric neurons. In addition to acetylcholine and neropinephrine, several peptidic and non-peptidic substances have been identified that appear to work with neurotransmitters in the ENS. The non-cholinergic, non-adrenergic, inhibitory nerves (NANC) are thought to be important in it. More recently, nitric oxide (NO) has been identified as an inhibitory transmitter for muscle. It has been shown that NO mediates the inhibitory anorectal reflex in animals and man. See, for example, "Rattan et al.," Nitric inhibitory ref lex af sphincter ", Gastroentero1oav. 103" 43-50, 1992; Chakder et al., "Relase of nitric oxide by activation of nonchol and nergic neurons of internal anal sphincter", Am. J. Physiol .. 2 £ > 4: G7-G12, 1993; O'Kelley et al., "Nerve mediated relaxation of the internal anal ßphincters The role of nitric oxide", Gut. 34: 689-693, 1993 See also, Gillespie et al., "Influence of haemoglobin and erythrocytes on the effects of EDRF, on smooth muscle inhibitory factor, and nitric oxide on vascular and non-vascular smooth muscle", Br.

It has been proposed that the formation of NO, based on the non-enzymatic release of NO from various organic nitrates when catalyzed in the presence of cysteine, causes the direct or indirect activation of guaní lato cyclase, soluble, which finally results in smooth, vascular muscle relaxation, in vivo.

IO
Corticosteroids such as h idrscort isone have been used for the treatment of several benign anal disorders for many years. Studies of this treatment have shown some benefit for it, but not in a reproducible or significant way. Topical anesthetics such as dibucal na, lidocaine, pramoxine, and others have been used for the treatment of anal pain. Nevertheless,. any relief has been of a relatively short duration. Other different preparations are known.

An advantageous organic nitrate is GTN, and the different advantageous organic nitrates include ISDN, ETN, PETN, etc., to which they could have been given legal approval for use in treatments in other fields of medicine or in human individuals.
In general, the organic nitric oxide donor, to include organic nitrate, is present in any amount that is effective in the practice of treating anal disease. In typical practice of the invention, the organic nitric oxide donor can be present in a concentration from about 0.O.sub.l to about 10 percent by weight. All percentages by weight herein are based on the total weight of the composition. If the GTN is organic nitrate, the preferred concentrations lie in the range of from about O.Ol to about 5 weight percent. The following table lists some more particular general ranges for other organic nitrates in compositions of the invention:
Composed by hundreds in weight. Approximate ISDN from O.Ol to 7.5, to include O.3 to 3 ETN from O.Ol to 4, to include O.l to 1.5
PETN from O.Ol to 4, to include O.l to 1.5
Optionally, a corticosteroid may be present in the compositions of the present invention. For example, the corticosteroid may include h idrocort isone, i.e., 11-17-21-trihydroxipegn--eno-3,20-dione or cortisol, cortisol acetate, hydrocortisone phosphate, hydrocort-isone succinate-21- sodium, hydrocort isone tebutate, corticosterone, corticosterone acetate, cortisone, cortisone acetate, corticosone 21B- c iclopeptanopropionate, triame inolone-hexacetonide, dexamethasone phosphate, desonide, betamethasone dipropionate, mometasone furate, and so on and so on. In general, the corticosteroid can be present in any amount that is effective in the practice of treating anal disease. In the typical practice of the invention, the corticosteroid may be present in a concentration of approximately O.OOl up to or. • about 10 percent by weight, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 5 percent by weight. If the cortisol is the corticosteroid, the preferred concentrations lie in the range from about 0.5 to about
2. 5 percent by weight. If the hydrocort isone is *** - * < The preferred corticosteroid concentrations are in the range from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent, if the dexamethasone phosphate is the corticosteroid. The preferred concentrates reside in the range from about 0.005 to about 0.03 weight percent Optionally, a topical anesthetic may be present in the composition of the invention For example, the topical anesthetic may include dibucalna, lidocaine, pramoxine , benzocal, tetracal, and so on, etc. In general, the topical anesthetic may be present in any amount that is effective in the treatment of anal disease.In typical practice of the invention, the topical anesthetic may be present in a concentration from about Ol to about 5 percent by weight and preferably from about 0.5 to about 4 percent by weight based on total weight to the composition. If the dibucalna is the topical anesthetic, the preferred concentrations lie in the range from about 0.25 to about 2 percent in-weight. If the benzscal is the topical anesthetic, the preferred concentrations are in the range of about 10 to about 20 weight percent. If the tetracalm is the topical anesthetic, the preferred concentrations reside in a range from about 1 to about 2 weight percent. The corticosteroid and topical anesthetic can be used with ease in the practice of the invention. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the composition of the invention can be formulated in any pharmaceutical state suitable for topical application, examples of which include liquid, aerosol, thickened liquid, semi-solid emulsion, powder, and a tablet or capsule, which can be lubricated for insertion into the anus. The method of the invention may employ any of these formulations as may be appropriate for treatment in particular cases. Advantageously, the composition can be formulated in the form of highly convenient doses with thickening agents to include solutions or lotions, thickened, ointments to include creams and gels, and so on.
Thickened solutions and lotions and ointments can be formed by incorporating with the active ingredients various gel-forming agents and other thickeners (viscosity enhancers) that allow the release of the active ingredients to the skin or to the tissue on or after the application. These forms are used salefully to decrease runoff from the skin or tissue, which can occur with
IO more fluid formulations (less viscous). Importantly, they also allow a more sustained contact of the active ingredient (s) and any penetration improver with the treated surfaces, thereby allowing a
• * v increase in the delivery rate of the active ingredient (s) subcutaneously, and providing a more accurate and controllable dosage. Accidental spillage and unwanted contact with the composition can also be minimized with these types of formulations. It may be advantageous to employ agents which are dispersible in water, that is to say, water dispersible thickeners to form a homogeneous distribution or uniform solution, such as 5 polyethylene glycols and similar agents, since they are easily compatible with water or water. other diluents that can be formulated in the composition. Alternatively, an emulsion base can be used to impart the desired thickener effect, together with the emollient effect of the lipoid phase of the base of the emulsion. The bases or thickening substances, dispersible in water or soluble in water, can employ polyethylene glycols and the like of different viscosities depending on the consistency and desired concentration of the active ingredient (s) (s) that can be used. ) incorporate in the composition. Other thickening agents which may be suitable for use therein include, but are not limited to, water-dispersible gums, carboxy-vinyl polymers, methylcelluloses, carbohydrate, sodiumcellulose, and the like. Lotions and ointments incorporating emulsion bases may contain the usual ingredients to provide the base, including fatty alcohols such as acetyl alcohol, an emulsifier such as, for example, lauryl sulfate and water. Also, the remainder of a topical preparation may contain one or more conventional components of the ointments, such as for example white petrolatum, lanolin, distilled water and mineral oil in conventional amounts. The remainder of a suppository may contain conventional amounts of the known components of the suppositories such as, for example, zinc oxide and / or cocoa butter. Pourable pharmaceutical doses can be provided and distributed in graduated containers, or in containers containing a given volume, i.e., for example 5 or 10, and so on. Containers with larger volume, ie, for example, 20 cc and greater, can provide multiple, convenient dosage forms. Containers containing a single, typical dose, for example, from about 0.5 g to about 10 g of the active ingredient (s), can provide convenient dosage forms. Tubes that are tightened for lotions and ointments and cotton bar applicators can be employed for topical application of the composition for liquids ranging from those of viscosity similar to water to the more viscous formulation of thickened compositions, and for powders and the like . Powders can be used. It can be used in an inert powder such as, for example, starch and / or talc to dilute the active ingredient (s) in the powder form. The composition of the invention and the active ingredient (s) in a method can also be administered by dusting, spraying or nebulising such as from walkers, dusting devices, fogging devices and spray bottles. . The containers of the composition can be loaded with any suitable amount and concentration of the ingredient (s). As an administration, a container may be loaded with a fluid formulation containing at least about 10 percent by weight of a combination of active ingredients, together with an aqueous diluent, optionally with thickening agent (s), salt ( is) physiological (s) and so on. Liquid compositions, for example, can be administered as substances of, ba, ja_, viscosity to semi-solid gels or foams, depending on any amount of the gelling agent (s) and / or surfactant (s), included therein. These compositions may be sufficiently fluid to allow their administration upon spraying or nebulization from the container and may also satisfy the criteria for penetration. In the treatment according to the invention, an amount of the active ingredient (s) or composition of the invention is put on.

The medicine can be delivered intra-rectally as a suppository. The medicine or medication can be applied in this manner, for example, three or more times daily in the case of ointment or one or more times daily in the case of suppository. The use of the corticosteroid and / or topical anesthetic, optional in the practice of the invention can provide decidedly advantageous results. In cases where treatment with an organic nitrate alone as the active treatment agent fails to provide pain relief and / or healing, most notably, the use of corticosteroid and / or topical anesthetic in combination with nitrate Organic, it can often provide significant relief if not complete pain and also provide significant healing if not total. Pain relief from the invention is rapid and often dramatic. The following examples further illustrate the present invention. All parts and percentages (percent or * A) herein are by weight, unless otherwise specified.

The patient was treated with the ointment of Example 3, approximately 500 mg three times daily and after bowel movements. He reported a significant reduction in anal pain and his digestive system worked three days later.
EXAMPLE 11
A 57-year-old man was referred for the treatment of the documented elevating spasm that he developed after lower spinal surgery, two years earlier. The patient was treated with the ointment of Example 1, approximately 500 mg intra-anally three times daily and after bowel movements. He reported improvement of ano-rectal spasm in the space of one day. The treatment was then changed to the preparation of Example 3, approximately 500 mg intra-anally three times daily and after bowel movements. The pain relief was not so great, and thus, the treatment was restarted with the preparation of Example 1.
EXAMPLE 12-GROUP STUDY METHODS
TEH Group: Five patients (three women and two men) were recruited to participate in a trial of topical treatment of nitroglycerin for acutely trsmbosade external hemorrhoids (DEH, for its acronym in English). Their ages ranged from 23 to 51 years of age. The duration of their symptoms varied from 2 to 4 days. The anorectal examination of all these patients revealed TEH in an anal quadrant (three patients) and in two anal quadrants (two patients). None of these patients had evidence of thrombosis of hemorrhoids, internal, fissure, abscess or fistula. All patients had used one or more topical preparations
(ANUSOL or ANUSOL-HC, Parke-Davis, Morris Plains,
N.J; PREPARATION H, Whi had 11 Laboratories,
Madison, N.J .; PROCTOCREAM-HC, Reed Se Carnrick, Jersey City, N.J.) without symptomatic relief. Fissure Group: Fifteen patients (ten women and five men) were recruited to participate in a trial of topical treatment of nitroglycerin for fissure or anal ulcer. Their ages varied from 23 to 61 years of age. The duration of their symptoms varied from 2 days to 2 years. Three patients had anal ulcers in the posterior midline; eleven had fissures in the midline, posterior, acute; one had an anal fissure in the anterior, acute midline. Two patients had a history of Crohn's ileitis. None of these patients had a history of anal surgery, recent. After obtaining the informed consent of each participant, a therapy program was initiated. The treatment included psyllium seeds (12 g daily) and sitz baths as needed. Approximately 500 to 500 mg of nitroglycerin ointment was applied at 0.5 percent as in Example 1 with the finger to the external anus and the distant anal canal, four or more times daily and after bowel movements. All patients were interviewed and examined one week after starting therapy. The patients in the cleft group were re-examined three weeks after the start of therapy, and every week or every two weeks
- later until the fissure had healed or until eight weeks of therapy had passed.
RESULTS
TEH Group: All patients reported total or almost total relief of anal pain in the space of 2 to 3 minutes after the application of nitroglycerin. Nitroglycerin was especially useful in relieving pain that typically occurred after defecation. Each application of nitroglycerin ointment
IO relieved anal pain from 4 to 6 hours in all patients. All patients reported the need for a few sitz baths. The nitroglycerin ointment was used for an average of three days (range of two to six
days). The resolution of the thrombi seemed to follow the usual course of time. Side effects were limited to passing headache in two patients (40 percent of the group's population). Fissure Group: All patients
reported dramatic relief of anal pain in the space of 3 to 4 minutes after the application of nitroglycerin ointment, and the effect of pain relief was maintained for 2 to 6 hours. The majority of patients reported that the ointment
nitroglycerin was especially useful in alleviating the pain that occurred after defecation. Fourteen patients applied the ointment every 4 to 6 hours while they were awake. One patient required the application every 2 to 3 hours to achieve satisfactory pain control. Of the twelve with superficial anal fissures, IO (83 percent of this group) healed within two weeks, and this group included patients with Crohn's disease. Two patients who had discontinued the treatment after complete healing at two weeks had recurrence of their fissures. Both responded to another two weeks of therapy with no further recurrence of symptoms. The remaining two patients with anal fissures healed after four weeks of continuous treatment. A patient with a posterior anal ulcer was improved but not fully cured after two weeks of therapy. She asked for the spherical approach that resulted in complete healing in the space of another month. Two patients with posterior anal ulcers improved but did not fully heal after two months of therapy, and the interotomy in both cases was refused. Lateral effects were limited to passing, mild headaches in five patients (33 percent of the group's population). The twenty patients in this study experienced dramatic pain relief after the first dose of nitroglycerin ointment, applied topically, and healing was significant. The nitroglycerin ointment applied topically to the anal and rectal area was well tolerated by the majority of patients in this study. Seven of the twenty human subjects (35 percent of the population of the groups) experienced headaches after the topical application of nitroglycerin ointment. The headaches were self-limited in general and abated after approximately fifteen minutes.
EXAMPLE 13
An ointment is prepared by mixing 8.75 g of 2 percent nitroglycerin in white petrolatum, lanolin, and distilled water (nitroglycerin ointment, USP 2 X, E. Fougera Se Co., Melville NY) with 41.25 g of white petrolatum, USP (VASELINE; Chesebrough-Ponds USA Co., Greenwich, Conn.) In a laboratory mixing vessel at room temperature. The resulting mixture is 50 g of a nitroglycerin ointment at O.35 percent. The ointment is effective in the treatment of anal disease when it is applied topically to the affected area or close to it. With this, pain relief and healing are significant, and side effects such as headache are few and / or mild. The ointment can be used with humans.
