FERVESCENCE COMPOSITION <br><br>
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION <br><br>
This invention relates to a fervescence composition containing 15-keto-prostaglandin E and their derivatives. <br><br>
Development of a drug for recovering from hypothermia occurred after hypothermic operation such as operation of cardiovasculum and brain surgery, hypothermia caused by a decline of basal metabolism such as thyroid hormone hyposecretion, hypothermia by disorder of the brain or hypothermia caused by serious bleeding and disorder of consciousness occurred by, for example, a traffic accident as well as development of a drug for preventing from hypothermia have been desired. <br><br>
On the other hand, prostaglandins are known to have various pharmacological activities, antiplatelet aggregation activity, myometruim stimulating activity, antiulcer activity and- the like. Among prostagrandins, for example, prostaglandin E2 is known to have fervescence activity. However, it cannot be used as a drug for recovering body temperature since it strongly decreases the blood pressure at the same time. On the other hand, 15-keto-prostaglandin E (noted as 15-keto-PGE hereafter) and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin E (noted as 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE hereinafter) are known as a substance naturally produced by <br><br>

an enzyme in the metabolism of prostaglandin E (noted as PGE hereinafter) in a living body. These 15-keto-PGE have been considered to be physiologically and pharmacologically inactive substances (Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, Vol. 66, pp509 (1966)). It has never been recognized that these 15-keto-PGE have fervescence activity. <br><br>

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION <br><br>
This invention provides a fervescence composition containing 15-keto-prostaglandin E and their derivatives (noted as 15-keto-PGEs as including the derivatives hereinafter), which are separated from any substantial activity such as decrease of blood pressure. Ester type of 15-keto-PGEs on the end carboxyl group of a-chain shows fervescence activity even by peripheral administration. <br><br>

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention provides a fervescence composition which comprises 15-keto-PGEs as an active ingredient. <br><br>
In this invention, 15-keto-PGEs include 15-keto-PGEs of which the carbon atom of 15-position is carbonyl, and 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGEs of which the bond between carbon atoms of 13- and 14-position is saturated and the carbon atom of 15-position is carbonyl. Therefore, this invention includes every prostaglandin E as long as it is in 15-keto or 13", 14-dihydro-15-keto form in the prostaglandin skeleton structure and is not limited by other additional skeleton structure or substituents. <br><br>
expressed according to the following nomenclature. The 15-keto-PGEs have a following basic structure: <br><br>
and the position number of carbon atom constituting a-chain, w-chain and five members ring in the prostaglandin skeleton structure is used as it is in the nomenclature. That is, the position number of the carbon atom in the skeleton structure is started from the carbon atom constituting carboxylic acid of the terminal position of a-chain through <br><br>
In the present specification 15-keto-PGEs are <br><br>

the five members ring to w-chain i.e. 1 to 7 are attached to the carbon atoms in the a-chain in this order, 8-12 are attached to the .carbon atoms in the five members ring, and 13 - 20 are attached to the carbon atoms in the u-chain. In the compound whose carbon number in a-chain is less than 7 the position number is simply eliminated from 2 to 7 in this order without any change of the position number of the other carbons. In other word 15-keto-PGEs having 6 carbon atoms in the a-chain have no position of 2, i.e. 15-keto-PGEs of such compound are not renamed as 14-keto-PGEs. In case that carbon atoms increase in the a-chain the carbon chain increased is nominated as a substituent on the carbon of position number 2 without any change of the position number of the other carbons. Therefore, 15-keto-PGEs having 8 carbon atoms in the a-chain are nominated as 15-keto-2-decarboxy-2-acetic acid-PGEs. In case that the number of the carbon in the u-chain decreases the position number is nominated as reducing it from the carbon of position number 20 one by one. In case the number of the carbon atoms in the u-chain increases, the increased carbon chain is nominated as a substituent on the w' carbon of position number 20. That is, 15-keto-PGEs having <br><br>
10 carbon atoms in the u-chain is nominated as 15-keto-20-ethyl-PGEs. <br><br>
The above formula expresses a specific configuration which is most typical one, and in this specification compounds having such a configuration are <br><br>

PGE have a hydroxy group on the carbon atom of 11- <br><br>
^ position in general, but in the present specification term <br><br>
"PGEs" includes prostaglandins having other group instead of said hydroxyl group of normal PGE. Such PGEs are called as <br><br>
11-dehydroxy-ll-substituent-PGEs, for instance, 11- <br><br>
dehydroxy-ll-methyl-PGEs in case of the substituent being a methyl group. <br><br>
PGEs are classified to PGE^ and PGE2 according to the bonds between carbon atoms of 5, 6 and 7 position. <br><br>
PGEj and its derivatives (referred to as PGE^s hereinafter) are nominated to a group of compounds in which the bond between carbon atoms of 5 and 6 position, and of 6 <br><br>
and 7 position are a single bond respectively. 'PGE2 and its derivatives (referred to as PGE2S hereinafter) are called to a group of compounds in which the bond between carbon atoms of 5 and 6 position is a trans-double bond. Therefore, PGEs having a structure of -CH?-C(0)-CH?- is nominated as <br><br>
7 6 5 <br><br>
6-keto-PGE-, s, and PGEs having a structure of -CH?-C=C- <br><br>
- 7 6 5 <br><br>
is called as 5,6-dehydro-PGE2S. <br><br>
The fervescence activity is remarkably expressed in <br><br>
15-keto-PGEs represented by the following formula: <br><br>
- 6 - <br><br>
22 8 1 9 8 <br><br>
wherein R is a hydroxyl group, a hydroxyalkyl group, or an alkyl group; Y is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety having 2.-6 carbon atoms wherein a portion of carbon atoms constituting the hydrocarbon moiety may be carbonyl or a portion of hydrogen atoms constituting the hydrocarbon moiety may be substituted with other atoms or groups; Z is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety which may constitute a straight chain or a ring, wherein a portion of hydrogen atoms of the hydrocarbon moiety may be substituted with other atoms or groups; <br><br>
or physiologically acceptable salts thereof or esters which are esterified on the terminal carboxyl group. <br><br>
Y represents a saturated or an unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety having 2-6 carbon atoms, include an aliphatic hydrocarbon such as an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group and the like. Y may preterably be hydrocarbon chain having 6 carbon atoms. <br><br>
Examples of PGEs of which Y is an unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety are PGE2S, 5,6-dehydro-PGE2S, PGEs of which the bond between 2- and 3-position is unsaturated, and the like. <br><br>
A portion of carbon atoms constituting hydrocarbon moiety represented by Y may be carbonyl, whose typical examples are 6-keto-PGE-^s in which the carbon atom of 6-position is carbonyl. <br><br>
The hydrocarbon moiety represented by Y may be substituted with other atoms or groups, for example, halogen <br><br>

Z represents a saturated or an unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety having 1-10 carbon atoms. The hydrocarbon moiety may be an aliphatic hydrocarbon or a cyclic hydrocarbon itself or in part. The hydrocarbon moiety represented by Z may be substituted with other atoms or groups. <br><br>
The number of the carbon atoms of Z is preferably 3 - 7 in straight chain. PGEs of which carbon numbers of Z are 5 correspond to typical PGs. Therefore, the PGEs of which carbon numbers of the hydrocarbon moiety represented by Z are 6 or more than 6 are nominated as PGEs having a substituent on the carbon atom of 20-position. That is, <br><br>
PGEs of which the number of carbon atoms of Z is 6 are nominated as 20-methyl-PGEs. <br><br>
Though the hydrocarbon moiety represented by Z may have substituents at any position, a saturated hydrocarbon is more preferable. Examples of the hydrocarbon moiety having a cyclic ring are a cyclopentyl or a cyclohexyl containing the carbon atom of 16- or 17-position itself as a ring constituting member. <br><br>
The hydrocarbon moiety represented by Z may be substituted with other atoms or groups, for example, halogen <br><br>

A generic name of PGEs is used to compounds having a prostanoic acid structure in which the carbon atom of 11-position has a hydroxyl group, and the carbon atom of 9-position is carbonyl. In the present specification a prostanoic acid compound in which the hydroxyl group on the carbon atom of 11-position is substituted with a hydroxyalkyl group or an alkyl group is also called as PGEs. Therefore, the 15-keto-PGEs of the present invention <br><br>

15-keto-PGEs of the present invention may includes various kinds of isomers such as tautomeric isomers, optical isomers, geometric isomers and the like. As an example of such isomers there is exemplified a tautomeric isomer between the hydroxyl group at carbon atom of 11-position and the carbonyl group on carbon atom of 15-position of 15-keto-PGEs. The latter tautomeric isomer is liable to be caused in 15-keto-PGEs having an electron attractive group such as fluorine atom at 16-position. <br><br>

The 15-keto-PGEs show fevescence activity by intracerebroventricular administration whether carboxylic acid type compounds or carboxy ester type compounds. <br><br>
However, the carboxylic acid type compounds show no fervescence activity by peripheral administration such as intravenous injection or oral administration. On the other hand, carboxy ester type compounds shows fervescence activity even when administered peripherally such as intravenously and orally. The ester compound of which R is a lower alkyl group such as methyl or ethyl group shows strongest fervescence activity. <br><br>
Improvement of body mechanism such as temperature rising is brought on to the animal being out of normal condition such as normal temperature, for example, in the shock state by such as bleeding. Namely, the compound is effective to the animal out of homeostasis or under anesthesia. <br><br>

The 11-6 type PGEs can be prepared according to the synthetic chart III. The 15-keto-PGEs of this invention may be used as a medicine for animals and human beings and usually applied systemically or locally by the method of oral administration, oral administration by spraying, intravenous injection (including instillation), subcutaneous injection, suppository and the like. Dose is determined depending on the animal to be treated, the human patient, age, body weight, symptom, therapeutic effect, <br><br>
administration route, treating time and the like, but is preferably 0.001 - 500 mg/Kg. <br><br>
As solid composition of this invention for oral administration, tablets, powders, granules and the like are included. The solid composition containing one or more active substances is mixed with at least an inactive diluent such as lactose, mannitol, glucose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, fine crystalline cellulose, starch, polyvinyl pyrolidone, magnesium aluminate metasilicate.

suspensions, syrups, elixirs and the like and contain a generally used inactive diluent such as purified water or ethyl alcohol. The composition may contain additives such as wetting agents and suspending agents as well as sweeteners, flavors, aromatics and preservatives. <br><br>
The compositions for oral administration may contain one or more active substance. <br><br>
The injection of this invention for non-oral administration includes sterile aqueous or nonaqueous <br><br>
22 6 1 9 <br><br>
solutions, suspensions, and emulsions. Diluents for the aqueous solution or suspension contain, for example, distilled water for injection, physiological saline and Ringer's solution. Diluents for the nonaqueous solution and suspension contain, for example, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils such as olive oil, alcohols such as ethanol and polysorbates. The composition may contain other additives such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, dispersing agents and the like. These are sterilized by filtration through, e.g. a bacteria-preventing filter, compounding with a sterilizer, gas sterilization or radiation sterilization. These can be prepared by producing a sterile solid composition and dissolving it into sterilized water or a sterilized solvent for injection before use. <br><br>

injected on the back with 1.5 g/kg of urethane, subjected to anesthesia. Hemorrhage was then induced by withdrowal of blood by puncture of the heart for the total volume of 3 ml equivalent to 1.5% of the body weight. After kept in a room for 60 minutes, the rats were administered intraveously with test solutions prepared by dissolving test drugs into Ringer's solution so as to administer the rat at a dose of 0.5 or 1 mg/kg, and change of the body temperature was observed. Ringer's solution was administered as control. <br><br>

In the figures, (1) (2) and (3) correspond to the results of administration of doses 1 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg and Ringer's solution alone, respectively. <br><br>
Obviously shown in Table 4 and Figs. 1 and 2, the group of rats administered with the 15-keto-PGEs of this invention are observed doseresponse fervescence although body temperature continued to fall after the administration in the group administered with Ringer's solutions. <br><br>
The compound of this invention is useful as drug for recovering body temperature from hypothermia caused by serious bleeding and surgery from the above results, since they proved the fervescence activity of the compound to the animals under the condition of low body temperature (33 °C) being unable to maintain the normal body temperature by bleeding, namely, out of homeostasis. <br><br>
Example 5 (Sedation Activity) <br><br>
A 19-methyl type compound having strong fervescence V1 activity was compared with PGE2 emthyl ester in sedation activity. A hybrid adult dog was held on a holder for dog and intravenously administered with a test drug dissolved in Ringer's solutions at the forefoot. ^ Sedation activity was judged as follows: <br><br>

The 15-keto-PGEs of this invention have fervescense activity and the compound in the ester shows the activity by peripheral administration such as intravenous injection or oral administration in the same manner as by intracerebroventricular injection. It brings on improvement <br><br>
of body mechanism such as fervescence activity on an animal in the shock condition and being unable to maintain the normal body mechanism such as body temperature by, for example, bleeding, namely, out of homeostasis. <br><br>
Accordingly, the 15-keto-PGEs of this invention is useful as a drug for recovering from hypothermia occurred after hypothermic operation such as surgical operation, hypothermia accompanied with a decline of basal metabolism ratio by such as thyroid hormone hyposecretion, hypothermia by disorder of the brain, hypothermia caused by serious bleeding and disorder of consciousness, hypothermia caused by lowering of the surrounding temperature, hypothermia caused by heatloss from the surface of the body by such as sweating and vasodilation, hypothermia and asphyxiation, and also useful as a drug for rising the body temperature falling under the shock condition to recover various body mechanisms for removal from the shock state and improve the homeostasis and maintaining ability. Additionally, it is useful as a drug for preventing the above hypothermias. <br><br>
