Abstract

A composition and method for treating both superficial and subdermal inflammation is taught by treating an inflamed skin area, muscle, or bone joint, with a therapeutically effective amount of a skin-compatible ester of a zwitterionic aminosulphonic acid (ZASA-Ester) of formula (1) wherein M is an alkali metal, like sodium, and R is a naturally occuring, straight-chain, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic acid, the esters of which form fatty acids in nature. The most useful of which are the oleic (cis isomer), linoleic, palmitic, and stearic moieties; they occur naturally as glycerides, i.e., esters of glycerol. Also useful are analogs of HEPES like piperazine-N'-(2-ethane sulfonic acid); N-methylpiperazine-N'-(2-ethane sulfonic acid); and the piperiodine analog of the piperazine ester. A pharmacologic composition is also provided which comprises at least one amphoteric (Zwitterionic-ester) with a pharmacologically-acceptable topical carrier or base. Other adjunctive pharmaceutical agents may be included to facilitate other than topical administration.

Description

ZWITTERIONIC FATTY ACID COMPOUNDS FOR ANTIINFLAMATION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to pharmacologically-active, anti-inflammatory
compounds, and more specifically to long aliphatic chain esters of selected
zwitterionic organic compounds derived from naturally occurring taurine. This
invention pertains to novel zwitterionic compounds with pharmacologic activity
including, but not limited to, the use as an antiinflammatory.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Any inflammation that occurs in the mammalian body is the clinical result of a
sequence of events known as the arachidonic acid (ARA) cascade. Cell membranes
consist of phospholipids, including fatty acids, one of which is ARA. In the
inflammation process, the first step is the release of ARA from the phospholipid. The
next step is the conversion of ARA into the specific mediator of inflammation. One
pathway is the cyclooxygenase and the other is called the lipoxygenase pathway.
Cortisone, along with other selected steroidal agents, block both inflammation
pathways by inhibiting ARA release. The mode of action of HEPES-ester is thought to be at the level of leukotrienes B4, but it is also possible that it occurs at higher levels in the inflammatory cascade, perhaps at the phospholipase A2 (PPLA2). Inhibition of PPLA2 action would arrest the aforedescribed cascade effect from being initiated.
Medical science looks for other biochemicals that lack the recognized side effects of prolonged steroid-based (cortisone) medications. One known human biochemical, taurine, synthesis of which occurs in the mammalian liver, and has demonstrated anti-inflammatory activity when administered centrally, but not when administered subcutaneously or interperitoneally. N-substituted derivatives of taurine include: 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-l -piperazine ethenesulfonic acid; C8H18N204S, which is commonly identified in the technical literature as HEPES (Merck Index, 12th edition monograph #4687). HEPES is available commercially from Angus Chemicals, as the sodium salt or, as the free acid. The scientific literature reports that intravenous injection of (14-C) HEPES, or of (3H) taurine, demonstrated rapid clearance, but with a significantly longer half-life compared with taurine. Mahon et al theorized that the greater anti-inflammatory effects of HEPES (sodium salt and the acid) compared with taurine, may be due to its slower systemic distribution or clearance, in vivo. The art suggest that
HEPES is a significant agent to reduce cellular inflammation and cellular proliferation. However, the delivery systems for the HEPES treatment of inflammation remain to be
optimized.
It is thus a principal object of this invention to provide a HEPES-based compound, an ester, and a pharmaceutical formulation including the ester, that is adapted for use in topically applied products to reduce symptoms of skin inflammation, wherein the particular etiology of the inflammation does not call for, or require, the use of antibiotics or germicidal
compositions. The improved formulations for epidermal penetration, on bruises, muscle strains and sprains are also areas of useful treatment.
It is another object of the invention to combine the HEPES molecule with selected aliphatic acids, as the active ingredient of topical applications, which permit the HEPES moiety to penetrate the skin and so to better effect its anti-inflammatory nature.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a HEPES-containing active ingredient that is not limited to the known subcutaneous injection or IV infusion routes, but may also effective as a topical formulation.
A still further object of the invention is to provide HEPES esters as a cosmetic formulation ingredient, as a co-emulsifier, usable with topical analgesics.
Still another object of the invention is in a cosmetic preparation to incorporate an anti-
skin ageing active ingredient.
These and other objects and benefits of this invention will become apparent from a
study of the following specification.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a composition and method for the treatment of inflammatory conditions in mammals, by the topical administration of selected Zwitterionic ester compositions, serving as safe and effective substances. Among useful Zwitterionic compounds which are preferred include PIPES, BES, POPSO, and preferably HEPES, when esterified, then alone, or in combination with other therapeutic ingredients (see PCT patent document). They are employed by applying to an affected area of the skin, a therapeutically effective amount of at least one skin compatible, Zwitterionic-Ester having the generic
formula: M
Figure imgf000006_0001
wherein M is an alkali metal and R is a naturally occurring, straight-chain, saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic acid, the esters of which form fatty acids in nature.
Preferably, Zwitterionic-ester has at least one pKa value at 20°C in the range of 6.0- 8.3 to permit its use on human skin, i.e., the ester exists mainly in its dipolar form, in the pH range of 6.0-8.3.
The isoelectric (ISO) point is the pH at which the net charge on a molecule in solution is 0. At this pH, amino acids exist almost entirely in the Zwitterionic state, i.e., the positive and negative groups are equally ionized. A solution of amino acids at the ISO point exhibits minimum conductivity, osmotic pressures, and viscosity.
Such dipolar molecules contain, for example, hydroxy groups and amino groups, and
also acid groups, like phosphoric, carboxylic or sulfonics acid groups and, generally have
pKa's in the range of 6.15-8.4.
Preferred aliphatic values for the ester moiety of HEPES ester are n-butanoic; isobutyric, n-valeric, palmitic, and stearic, behenyl, lauric, mynistic, (and their isomers) among the saturated aliphatics; and oleic and linoleic, among the unsaturated aliphatics.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition for application to human
skin in the treatment of inflammation comprising at least one of the above Zwitteronic-esters as the active ingredient, together with a pharmacologically acceptable topical carrier or base. These esters may be used in the treatment of arthritis, myositis, insect bites, sunburn, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and other inflammatory processes of muscle, connective tissue, or
skin appendages. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The effective proportion of the active ingredient, by weight of the formulation, is in the range of 1 to 20%, preferably 5 to 10%. In the most preferred composition, the effective proportion lies in the range of 6 to 8. Not every compound falling within the general definition given above, is suitable for topical use in the method of the invention. Some few will prove to be contraindicated. Nevertheless, the exclusion of ineffective active ingredients is a matter well within the competence of the skilled pharmacologist in the conduct of the anti-inflammatory evaluation protocols for disclosed HEPES-esters.
The topical base is selected from a wide variety of compositions, formulated according to known principals for pharmaceutical purposes. Such compositions include creams, solids, ointments, lotions, and film-forming solutions among others. They may be presented in boxes, jars, or compressible tubes, both collapsible and non-collapsible. The solids may be presented as sticks for rubbing onto the skin. Some of the topical bases may be presented as papers, woven or non-woven fabric pieces, or pads, all being impregnated with composition.
The invention relates to HEPES derivatives which are pharmacologically active as anti-phospholipase and anti-inflammatory compounds specifically, wherein the active
ingredients are certain long chain esters of selected zwitterionic compounds, based on an N- substituted taurine, namely aliphatic esters of HEPES.

SYNTHESIS OF HEPES ESTERS
Generally, an alkali metal salt of HEPES is catalytically reacted with an alkyl- substituted, either saturated or unsaturated aliphatic salt, such as methyl oleate, methyl linoleate, methyl palmitate, methyl stearate, methyl myristate, and methyl behenate. They are reacted in equi-molecular amounts carried out either with or without a non-aqueous solvent, such as acetone, and in a temperature range of 0°C to (variable)°C which is between 0°C and the solvent's reflux temperature. The purification of the crude ester is carried out by means of crystallization in an organic solvent, dissolved in methanol, and recrystallized. As to analytical methodology, preparative high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is followed by TLC, HPLC, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Potentiometric titration and bromic titradon are done across the double bond to establish identity and purity. The HPLC device is equipped with a variable length, ultraviolet detector.
PROTOCOL TO EVALUATE CANDIDATE FORMULATIONS FOR SUPPRESSION OF INDUCED SKIN INFLAMMATIONS
Sodium lauryl sulfate solution 0.5% is applied in a patch to four areas on the volar surface forearm. Site one is pretreated with a base formula, site two is pretreated with the base formula plus 10% HEPES ester, while sites three and four are left untreated.
After 24 hours, the sites are examined, the erythema and edema on sites one and two are recorded by photographs. Site one is treated with the base product, site three is treated with the base product plus 10% HEPES ester, and site two and four are untreated controls. Each treated site is treated four times a day. The observed results are recorded as the percent reduction of erythema and edema at the HEPES ester-treated sites over the base formula and
two control treated sites.
