Description

Patented June 7, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE EDMOND E. MOORE AND EDGAR B. CARTER, OF INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, ASSIGNOBS, BY MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, TO ABBOTT LABORATORIES, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A
CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS EPHEDRINE SALTS AND OIL SOLUTIONS THEREOF Ho Drawing.
It is the purpose of our invention to produce an ephedrine salt, and it is a further object of our invention to produce an ephedrine salt which shall be soluble in oil, preferably mineral oil (liquid petrolatum).
Ephedrine has been found of decided benefit in the treatment of certain respiratory affections as of the nose, throat and associated organs. \Vhen used in such treatment there is an initial stin which creates an unpleasant sensation and renders the use of the same objectionable to some patients.
We have discovered that this sting is due to the fact that the ephedrine is a strongly basic alkaloid.
We have discovered that when the alkaloid ephedrine is combined with a fatty acid it produces a salt which, when used, does not cause the stinging sensation produced by the alkaline nature of the alkaloid ephedrine, and this salt is soluble in mineral oil. While we have specifically stated that one of the objects is to provide an ephedrine derivative which is soluble in mineral oil it will be understood that the product is also soluble in other oils and in fats, and furthermore it will be understood that while we produce a salt, which is particularly useful because of its solubility in oil and because of its nonstinging nature such salt has other uses and other applications. One method of producing a salt of this character is by combining ephedrine with a fatty acid having not less than nine carbon atoms. The method of preparation may consist of intimately mixin in molecular proportions the ephedrine and preferably an unsaturated fatty acid having preferably not less than nine carbon atoms. In those cases where the fatty acid is solid at room temperature it is melted before the ephedrine is stirred in.
The resultant compound is also soluble in water giving a soapy solution or a collodial suspension. The ephedrine salts or soaps above produced greatly lower the surface tension so that the resultant solution tends to form foam and bubbles when agitated. These salts are quite useful as emulsifying agents The ephedrine salts thus produced, that is the ephedrine salts produced by the com- Applicatlon filed March 28, 1930. Serial No. 440,152.
hinin of ephedrine with a fatty acid of not less t an nine carbon atoms is soluble in mineral oil (liquid petrolatum) and the solubility of these salts in mineral oil increases with the number of carbon atoms in the acid from which the ephedrine salt is made, even though the solution of the salts formed with the fatty acids having the higher carbon content becomes solid at room temperatures.
Various fatty acids may be used and combined with the ephedrineto produce the ephedrine salts and any of the resultant salts may be combined or mixed with mineral or other oils or fats and will be heldin solution therein, although so far as we have been able to determine at resent we have found that combining ephe rine with oleic acid or with erucic acid produces an ephedrine salt which is more readily soluble in mineral oil.
However, the following are formulas of ephedrine salts which are quite satisfactory.

We have also found that one molecular equivalent of ephedrine combines with exactly one molecular equivalent of fatty acid.
