  • neuropathic pain includes one caused by changes in the peripheral nerve such as a sustained increase in the sensitivity or spontaneous firing and the like of the peripheral nerve starting from a peripheral nerve disorder (non-patent document 7), and one caused by changes in the spinal cord or highest center (non-patent document 8).
  • the changes in the spinal cord are caused by activation of microglia, and factors such as cytokine and the like produced and liberated from the activated microglia are considered to stimulate secondary neuron and enhance pain sensitivity.

  • emulsion composition A is not influenced by the development of free fatty acid, and can maintain a constant pH of an emulsion composition during high-pressure vapor sterilization and long-term preservation.
  • the amount of the buffer to be used for general injections is the aim of bufferizing action.
  • the amount of an acetate buffer in a solution injection commercially available in Japan is about 0.2 mM to about 100 mM.
  • Emulsion composition A is preferably used, for example, as a composition for injection.
  • Emulsion composition A can be basically produced by a known method or a method according thereto. Particularly, while a conventionally used emulsion technique can be utilized for the emulsion, compound A is preferably dissolved or dispersed in advance in an oil component. To be precise, a composition containing an O/W type or S/O/W type emulsion can be produced by dispersing a mixture of dispersion phase (1) containing an oil component and an emulsifier, and compound A (2) in water. The buffer may be added to an aqueous phase before emulsification, or added to an emulsion after emulsification during production.
  • the more preferable method includes, for example, a method of preparing an oil-in-water type composition comprising homogenizing an unhomogeneous mixture of a mixture of the main drug, an oil component, an emulsifier and, where necessary, an additive such as isotonicity agent and the like, and water containing a buffer using an emulsifying machine to give a crude emulsion, adding water as necessary, further homogenizing the emulsion using the above-mentioned emulsifying machine, and removing large particles by a filtration means such as a filter and the like.

  • Pyrogen can be removed from emulsion composition A by a method known per se.
  • emulsion composition A is sterilized and tightly sealed.
  • emulsion composition A Since pH of emulsion composition A is adjusted to about 3.7 to about 5.5 by adding a buffer, pH of the composition and mean particle size of the dispersion phase particles hardly change even after sterilization by an autoclave etc. or after long-term preservation, and the composition is stable. Therefore, the stability of compound A and emulsion composition A is superior. Moreover, emulsion composition A is free of a visibly observed free oil drop even after sterilization by an autoclave etc. or after long-term preservation, and therefore, phase separation of dispersion phase particles and water wherein the dispersion phase particles are dispersed does not occur, and the composition is stable.
  • emulsion composition A can increase the concentration of compound A, and control the particle size of the dispersion phase particles. Thus, it can enhance retentivity in blood, blood vessel permeability and transitivity into inflammation site. Therefore, in vivo kinetics or distribution in the body of compound A can be improved and targeting becomes possible, as a result of which administration of an effective drug with suppressed side effects becomes possible. Accordingly, emulsion composition A is particularly useful for the treatment of a target disease by an intravenous administration.
  • Compound A can also be used in combination with other drugs that suppress side effects of the anti-cancer agents, such as antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, imipramine, clomipramine, desipramine, doxepin, nortriptyline, duloxetine, milnacipran, fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, citalopram), anticonvulsants (e.g., carbamazepine, pregabalin, gabapentin, lamotrigine, phenyloin, valproic acid), antiphlogistic analgesics (e.g., loxoprofen sodium, naproxen, indomethacin, ketoprofen, ibuprofen, diclofenac, celecoxib, acetaminophen, acetylsalicylic acid), adrenal cortex hormones (e.g., dexamethasone, prednisone), narcotics (e.g
  • the administration period, dose and administration mode of compound A and other drugs that suppress side effects of the anti-cancer agents are not limited, and can be appropriately determined in consideration of the age, body weight and symptom of the administration subject, dosage form, administration method, kind of side effect, combination of drugs and the like.
