Definitions

• the invention is based on the finding of novel physiological properties of the compound 9-methyl-4-phenyl-6H-thieno[3,2- ]-s-triazolo[4,3-a] [1,4]- diazepine, hereinafter Compound C.
• apo A-I apolipoprotein A-I
• Apo A-I is a major protein constituent of plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL).
• Low plasma levels of HDL are known to be associated with an increased incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD).
• CAD coronary artery disease
• apo B apoUpoprotein B
• the present invention relates to the use of Compound C for the manufacture of medicaments for the treatment and prevention of illnesses which are caused by low plasma apo A-I levels.
• illnesses are the above mentioned CAD, mainly myocardial infarction, and atherosclerosis.
• the invention relates to plasma apo A-I levels enhancing medicaments which contain Compound C as the active ingredient, as well as to a process for the manufacture of such medicaments, which process comprises bringing Compound C and, if desired, one or more other therapeutically valuable substances into a galenical administration form.
• the invention relates to a method of increasing plasma apo A-I levels in mammals, particularly human beings, which method comprises administering an effective amount of Compound C.
• the activity of Compound C on plasma levels of apo A-I can be demonstrated by standard methods. For example, male hamsters were fed a coco-nut enriched diet. Ten controls and five drug treated animals were used. Compound C was given mixed with the food at a daily dose of 30 mg/kg for 10 days. The experiment was conducted as described in J. Lipid Res. 36: 1567-1585, 1995.
• the mean concentrations in g/L or mg/dl at both day-1 and day 10 of the assay are as follows:
• Plasma parameter Control: Compound C: day-1 day 10 day-1 day 10
• apo A-I 1.00 ⁇ 0.08 0.97 ⁇ 0,09 0.91 ⁇ 0.08 1.30 ⁇ 0.15* apo B (g/L) 0.79 ⁇ 0.09 1.20 ⁇ 0.19* 0.84 ⁇ 0.11 1.20 ⁇ 0.35* triglycerides (mg/dl) 312 ⁇ 46 288 ⁇ 34** 197 ⁇ 23 307 ⁇ 19**
• Compound C did not induce any manifest adverse effect.
• the animals remained healthy, lively, kept eating and growing at normal rates and were not showing any signs of sedation.
• Compound C can be used as active ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations.
• the pharmaceutical preparations are administered orally, e.g. in the form of tablets, coated tablets, dragees, hard and soft gelatine capsules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions.
• the active ingredient can be mixed with pharmaceutically inert, inorganic or organic carriers in order to manufacture such preparations.
• Lactose, corn starch, talc, stearic acid or its salts can be used, for example, as carriers for tablets, coated tablets, dragees and hard gelatine capsules.
• Suitable carriers for soft gelatine capsules are, for example, vegetable oils, waxes or fats; depending on the nature of the active ingredient no carriers are, however, usually required in the case of soft gelatine capsules.
• Suitable carriers for the manufacture of solutions and syrups are, for examples, water, saccharose, invert sugar and glucose.
• the pharmaceutical preparations can also contain preservatives, solubilizers, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, sweeteners, colorants, flavorants, salts for varying the osmotic pressure, buffers, coating agents or antioxidants. They can also contain other therapeutically valuable substances.
• Compound C can be used in the control or prevention of illnesses such as atherosclerosis and CAD, particularly myocardial infarction.
• the dosage can vary within wide limits and will, of course, be fitted to the individual requirements in each particular case.
• the daily dosage can be taken in one, two or three single doses, e.g. with food.
• a single dosage form contains from about 10 to 500 mg of Compound C.
• a hard gelatine capsule contains e.g. 30, 60, 125, 250 or 500 mg of Compound C and finely crystalline lactose to a final fill weight of 580-590 mg.
