Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of at least one isomer of inositoltrisphosphate (IP 3 ) for the preparing of a medicament effective as an analgesic.
  • IP 3 inositoltrisphosphate
  • morphine are used for reducing severe pain related to surgical operations.
  • Another type of pharmaceuticals used to reduce pain are sedative agents such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines.
  • Many of these drugs have side effects such as depressant action on respiration and circulation and are producing nausea and vomiting, which limit their use to many groups of patients.
  • many of the used drugs give hypnotic effects which are undesirable for the patient.
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to treat pain and inflammation.
  • This class of compounds works by preventing the synthesis of prostaglandins and side-effects such as damage to the gastic mucosa often appear.
  • it has surprisingly become possible to reduce pain without, sedative effects by the use of at least one isomer of inositoltrisphosphate (IP 3 ) for the preparing of a medicament effective as an analgesic.
  • IP 3 inositoltrisphosphate
  • the medicament is intended to be used for preventing, alleviating and
  • the medicament can be used for example in the following conditions in order to reduce pain:
  • Tissue damage induced mechanically or chemically such as burns, trauma i.e. wounds or injuries caused by physical damage.
  • Inflammatory conditions such as joint inflammations.
  • the medicament can also be effective in other disorders or conditions where reduction of pain is desirable.
  • the medicament exerts significant analgesic effects without showing any side-effects and without any sedative effects which is very beneficial for the patient.
  • IP 3 The production of IP 3 and the isolation of the different isomers thereof are disclosed in the US patent No 4.777.134.
  • the IP isomers can also be produced by synthetic methods, chemically or enzymatically, starting with e.g. inositol and a phosphorus source.
  • microbiological production methods including hybrid DNA-techniques of IP 3 are also suitable.
  • IP 3 The structure of IP 3 and the different isomers thereof are disclosed in the US patent No 4.735.936 and the US patent No 4.797.390.
  • the medicament used according to the invention exists in unit dosage form.
  • Tablets, granules or capsules are suitable administration forms for such unit dosage. Futhermore, tablets and granules can easily be surface treated such as to provide an enteric coating to prevent an uncontrolled hydrolysis in the stomach and to bring about a desired absorption in the intestine.
  • Other suitable administration forms are slow release and transdermal administration.
  • a usual pharmaceutically acceptable additive, excipient and/or carrier can be included in the medicament.
  • the tablets or granules can also contain a disintegrant which causes the tablets or the granules, respectively, to disintegrate easily in the intestine. In certain cases, especially in acute situations, it is
  • the unit dosage in the form of a solution for intravenous administration. In other situations,
  • suspensions comprising the compound can be preferably used as administration form.
  • the medicament can also consist as such of IP 3 solely without any additive, excipient or carrier.
  • the medicament can be free of other inositol phosphates, IP 1 , IP 2 , IP 4 , IP 5 and IP 6 . Accordingly, the mixture of IP 3 isomers can have a purity of 90-100 % or preferably 95-100 %.
  • the medicament can consist of or comprise one or more specific IP 3 isomers, each present in substantially pure form.
  • the different isomers can be isolated from each other in substantially pure form, which means that they have a purity of 80-100 %, such as 82-100 % or 85-100 %, preferably 90-100 %. Since the isomers can be produced in pure form they can be mixed in any proportion, of course.
  • the medicament can consist of IP 3 , wherein said IP is provided by at least one of IP 6 , IP 5 or IP 4 and a degradative substance such as an enzyme suitable to form IP 3 .
  • IP 3 -isomer or isomers used for the preparing of the medicament according to the invention are present in salt form in order not to affect the mineral balance negatively.
  • the salt should preferably consist of a sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc or magnesium salt or a micture of two or more of these salts.
  • the medicament contains a surplus or an extra addition of at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt of calcium, zinc or magnesium with a mineral acid or organic acid. This is especially valuable for elderly persons who are often
  • the preferred dosage for humans falls within the range of 0.1 to 1000 mg, especially 0.1-200 mg IP 3 /day/kg body weight.
  • the medicament usually contains 0.01-1.5 g, such as 0.05-1.3 g or preferably 0.1-1 g of IP 3 per unit dosage.
  • composition used according to the present invention contains at least one, sometimes two or more of the following substances, which correspond to the essential IP 3 -isomer or isomers mentioned above:
  • X is hydrogen, at least one univalent, divalent or multivalent cation, or a mixture thereof, n is the number of ions, and z is the charge of the respective ion;
  • L-myo-inositol-1.3.4-trisphosphate of the formula
  • n ranges between 6 to 1 inclusive and z ranges from 1 to 6 inclusive.
  • n is between 3 to 6 inclusive and z is 3, 2 or 1.
