Description

New Zealand Paient Spedficaiion for Paient Number 522317 522317 wo 01/80853 pct/us01/12485 A COMBINATION OF PINITOL AND CREATINE TO ENHANCE UPTAKE AND RETENTION OF CREATINE Field of the Invention The invention relates to the use of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements to enhance Hie uptake and retention of creatine in muscle, tissue.
Background Creatine phosphate is an excellent source of immediately available energy, capable of fueling the resynthesis of ATP from ADP.
Creatine is not synthesized in muscle tissue, but is transported to muscle tissue by the blood stream. Mankind has sought ways to accelerate ATP resynthesis and improve muscle power and performance by enhancing creatine uptake and retention by the muscle tissue. Such efforts range from the consumption of mass quantities of creatine to the administration of a combination of creatine and any of a variety of adjuvants, such as insulin and/or a carbohydrate.
While certain of these techniques have demonstrated limited success in enhancing creatine uptake and/or retention in muscle tissues, the search continues for safe alternative means for improving muscle performance by enhancing creatine uptake and retention in muscle tissue.
PCT/USO1/12485 Summary of the Invention We have discovered that muscle performance can be improved and muscle hypertrophy enhanced, through enhanced uptake and retention of creatine 5 resulting in improved ATP resynthesis, by administering an effective synergistic amount of a combination of creatine or an active derivative thereof and pinitol or an active derivative or metabolite thereof. io Detailed Description of the Invention Including a Best Mode The First Active Ingredient The first active ingredient is creatine or an active derivative thereof.
Creatine has the structure shown below in Figure 1.
CH„ l3 COOH HH2 Creatine is commercially isolated from meat extracts and is available from a number of sources. Creatine is generally available and suitable for use in the 25 invention as a monohydrate, with the monohydrate converted to anhydrous form at about 100°C.
Suitable derivatives of creatine include creatine phosphates, creatine citrate, creatine ascorbate, creatine pyruvate, cyclo-creatine and other salts thereof. 2 WO 01/80853 PCT/US01/12485 The Second Active Ingredient The second active ingredient is pinitol or an active derivative or metabolite thereof. Pinitol has the structure shown below in Figure 2.
OH QH ^/odh OH OH Pinitol can be extracted from a number of plant sources, including alfalfa, Bougainvillea leaves, chick peas, pine trees and soy beans, and is commercially available from Humanetics Coiporation under the trademark Inzitol™.
Suitable derivatives and metabolites of pinitol include pinitol glycosides, pinitol phospholipids, esterified pinitol, lipid-bound pinitol, pinitol phosphates, pinitol phytates, and hydrolyzed pinitol such as d-chiro-inositol.
Optional Third Active Ingredient Hie composition can optionally include a third active ingredient of a carbohydrate or an active derivative thereof (i.e., an organic aldehyde or ketone compound having multiple hydroxyl groups). The carbohydrate is preferably a simple carbohydrate, such as fructose or glucose.
Administration Administration Route The active ingredients can be administered to any mammal, including humans, for whom an improvement in muscle performance and/or enhanced muscle hypertrophy is desired.
PCT/USO1/12485 The active ingredients can be administered individually or together by virtually any of the commonly accepted practices for the administration of pharmaceutical preparations and dietary supplements including specifically, but not exclusively, mucosal administration, oral consumption, ocular administration, 5 subcutaneous injection, transdermal administration, etc. In order to achieve the desired synergistic effect, the creatine and pinitol should be administered so that the blood plasma level of pinitol is elevated simultaneously with or prior to administration of creatine. In a preferred embodiment, the creatine and pinitol are blended together in a single composition and administered together.
Mucosal administration of the active ingredients includes such routes as buccal, endotracheal, nasal, pharyngeal, rectal, sublingual, vaginal, etc. For administration through the buccal/sublingual/pharyngeal/endotracheal mucosa, the ingredients may be formulated as an emulsion, gum, lozenge, spray, tablet or an 15 inclusion complex such as cyclodextrin inclusion complexes. Nasal administration is conveniently conducted through the use of a sniffing power or nasal spray. For rectal and vaginal administration, the ingredients may be formulated as a cream, douche, enema or suppository.
Oral consumption of the active ingredients may be effected by incorporating the ingredients into a food or drink, formulating the ingredients into a chewable or swallowable tablet, or formulating the ingredients as a powdered or granular dietary supplement.
Ocular administration may be effected by incorporating the active ingredients into a solution or suspension adapted for ocular application such as drops or sprays.
Subcutaneous administration involves incorporating the active 30 ingredients into a pharmaceutically acceptable and injectable carrier.

Claims (63)

WO 01/80853 PCT/USO1/12485 For transdermal administration, the active ingredients may be conveniently incorporated into a lipophilic carrier and formulated as a topical creme or adhesive patch. 5 Dose Rate The range of dosages and dose rates effective for achieving the desired synergistic improvement in muscle performance and enhanced muscle hypertrophy may be determined in accordance with standard industry practices. As a general 10 guide, a dose rate of about 5 to 20 grams of creatine per day, accompanied by appropriate amounts of pinitol and any carbohydrate, should provide the desired biological response of improved muscle performance and enhanced muscle hypertrophy. i 15 Administration can be effected on any desired schedule with a preference for administration with every meal, daily or a few hours prior to each workout or other athletic activity. Ratio of First Ingredient 20 to Second Ingredient The range of relative percentages of creatine and pinitol (i.e., the active ingredients) effective for achieving the desired synergistic improvement in muscle performance and enhanced muscle hypertrophy may similarly be determined in 25 accordance with standard industry practices. As a general guide, a weight ratio of pinitol or active derivative or metabolite thereof to creatine or active derivative thereof between 1:10,000 to 1:1 should provide the desired biological response of improved muscle performance and enhanced muscle hypertrophy. Preferred ratios are between about 1:200 (e.g., 100 mg of pinitol to 20 grams of creatine) to about 1:2 -30 (e.g., 1 g of pinitol to 2 grams of creatine). WO 01/80853 I claim: PCT/USO1/12485
