Abstract

The invention provides the use of an active ingredient which is formoterol, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of formoterol, or a solvate of such a salt in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of an inflammatory and/or allergic condition in the upper airways of a human being.

Description

USE OF FORMOTEROL IN MEDICAMENT FOR INFLAMMATION/ALLERGY IN UPPER AIRWAYS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides the use of formoterol in the treatment of inflammatory and allergic conditions in the upper airways of human beings.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Inflammatory and allergic conditions in the upper airways include conditions such as rhinitis, sinusitis and nasal polyps. Conditions such as these are conventionally treated by corticosteroid nasal sprays. The problem with using corticosteroids to treat these conditions is that it takes some time before they take effect.
The use of a beta-2-adrenostimulant, fenoterol, to treat seasonal allergic rhinitis has been investigated. It was found that it had an insignificant effect upon nasal hypersecretion and nasal blockage caused by the rhinitis (Borum et al, Allergy 42, (1987), pp. 141-145).
US-A-4,975,466 to Ciba-Geigy relates to pharmaceutical preparations containing formo- terol or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, especially its semifumarate, for treatment of inflammatory skin diseases. The preparations are mainly used for topical, i.e. dermal, application, to the skin and/or mucous membrane, since formoterol is said to have a very pronounced antiphlogistic (dermally phlogistatic) topically anti-inflammatory, action. More specifically, the preparations are intended for external use on the outer skin, including the conjunctiva of the eyeball, the lips and the genital and anal region. There is no information about use of formoterol or preparations thereof for alleviating inflammatory and/or allergic conditions in the upper airways. C. Advenier et al, Br. J. Pharmacol., 105 (1995), pp. 792-798 relates to the effects of the β 2 -adrenoceptor agonists, salbutamol and formoterol, on the increase of micro-vascular permeability induced by histamine or bradykinin in guinea-pig airways. In the nasal mucosa, only salbutamol in doses of 30 μg/kg showed a significant inhibitory effect against histamine whereas formoterol 10 μg/kg significantly increased the effects of histamine in a dramatic manner. Therefore, Advenier et al strongly indicates that use of formoterol in the treatment of inflammatory and/or allergic conditions in the upper airways should be avoided.
Accordingly mere is a need for an effective treatment which has a faster onset time and a long duration.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to the use of formoterol, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts or solvates thereof for manufacturing medicaments suitable for use in the treatment of an inflammatory and or allergic condition in the upper airways of a human being.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the active ingredient is formoterol fumarate dihydrate.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
According to the invention there is provided the use of an active ingredient which is formo- terol, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate of formoterol, or a solvate of such a salt in the manufacture of a medicament for use in the treatment of an inflammatory and/or allergic condition in the upper airways of a human being.
According to the invention there is also provided a method of treating a patient suffering from an inflammatory and/or allergic condition in the upper airways which comprises administering to the patient a therapeutically effective amount of the active ingredient, wherein the patient is a human being.
According to the invention there is further provided a pharmaceutical composition comp- rising the active ingredient in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable diluent, carrier or additive, which composition is for use in the treatment of an inflammatory and/or allergic condition in the upper airways of human beings.
Formoterol is an adrenoreceptor agonist which selectively stimulates β2-receptors, with the formula (N-[2-hydroxy-5-[l-hydroxy-2-[[2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-l-methyl-ethyl]-amino]- ethyl]-phenyl]-formamide. It has surprisingly been found to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory and allergic conditions in the upper airways of human beings. Inhaled formoterol has the advantage that it both acts rapidly, usually within minutes, and exerts a prolonged effect of up to 12 hours.
Suitable physiologically acceptable salts of formoterol include acid addition salts derived from inorganic and organic acids, for example the chloride, bromide, sulfate, phosphate, maleate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, benzoate, 4-methoxybenzoate, 2- or 4-hydroxybenzoate, 4-chlorobenzoate, p-toluenesulfonate, methanesulfonate, ascorbate, acetate, succinate, lactate, glutarate, gluconate, tricarballylate, hydroxynaphthalene-carboxylate oroleate salts or solvates thereof. The active ingredient is preferably formoterol fumarate, especially the dihydrate.
Formoterol, pharmaceutically acceptable salts and solvates of formoterol, and solvates of such salts can be prepared by the methods described in US-A-5,434,304 to Astra and DE- A-2,305,092 to Yamanouchi.
The preferred daily dose of the active ingredient is from 5 to 250 nmol (preferably from 15 to 120 nmol). When the active ingredient is formoterol fumarate dihydrate the preferred daily dose is from 3 to 96 μg, more preferably from 3 to 48 μg and most preferably from 3 to 24 μg per day. Examples of suitable unit doses include 3, 4.5, 6, 9 and 12 μg of formoterol fumarate dihydrate.
The invention provides a new and surprisingly effective treatment for inflammatory and/or allergic conditions in the upper airways of a human being. The conditions treatable by the invention are preferably in the nose and paranasal sinus. They include
- seasonal allergic rhinitis which is pollinosis caused by pollens from ragweed, birch, grass, cedar or other plants
- perennial allergic rhinitis caused by e.g. dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and D. farinae), cockroaches and mammals such as cats, dogs and horses
- perennial non-allergic rhinitis
- nasal polyps, as well as prevention of post surgical nasal polyps
- chronic sinusitis
- recurrent sinusitis and - hypertrophic adenoids.
Preferably the active ingredient is used in admixture with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives, diluents or carriers, preferably in an amount of from 50 μg to 25 mg per dose, more preferably in an amount of from 50 μg to 10 mg, most preferably in an amount of from 100 to 4000 μg. Examples of suitable diluents or carriers include lactose, dextran, mannitol and glucose. Preferably lactose is used, especially as the monohydrate.
The active ingredient used in the invention is preferably in the form of a dry powder, more preferably a finely divided, e.g. amicronized, dry powder, e.g. having a mass median diameter of less than 10 μm, for example from 1 to 5 μm, most preferably an agglomerated micronized dry powder. Preferably at least 90% of the powder particles have a size below 15 μm. As an alternative to agglomeration the finely divided active ingredients may be in the form of an ordered mixture with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable additives, diluents or carriers. An ordered mixture is the combination of a finely divided active ingre- dient with coarse particles of a pharmaceutically acceptable additive, diluent and/or carrier. The ingredients used in the invention can be obtained in these preferred forms using methods known to those skilled in the art.
The invention will be illustrated by the following examples which are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
EXAMPLES
EXAMPLE 1 10 parts of formoterol fumarate dihydrate was mixed with 990 parts of lactose mono- hydrate. The blend was micronized using a high pressure air jet mill and then conditioned using the process of EP-A-717616. The mixture was then spheronised using the process of EP-A-721331, divided into parts, each of which were filled into the storage compartment of a Turbuhaler fitted with a dosing disc such that it administered, when activated, a unit dose of 6 μg.
Example 2
20 parts of formoterol fumarate dihydrate was mixed with 980 parts of lactose monohydrate. The blend was micronized using a high pressure air jet mill and then conditioned using the process of EP-A-717616. The mixture was then spheronized using the process of EP-A-721331, divided into parts, each of which were filled into the storage compartment of a Turbuhaler fitted with a dosing disc such that it administered, when activated, a unit dose of 12 μg.
