Definitions

  • the invention described herein relates to the use of acetyl L-carnitine and propionyl L-carnitine in combination for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and/or treatment of disorders caused by the andropause.
  • age-related diseases are an expanding field of application owing to the rapid increase in the population aged over 60 (J. Urol, 163: 705-712, 2000).
  • Hormone treatment for andropause is not without its drawbacks; in J. Urol, 151: 54-61, 1994, and in J. Urol, 163: 705-712, 2000, in fact, it is reported that testosterone treatment cannot be given in the presence of asymptomatic or frank prostate cancer.
  • a composition is described consisting of L-carnitine, acetyl L-carnitine and propionyl L-carnitine, useful for athletes subjected to intense physical effort, or for asthenic individuals.
  • a dietetic composition is described, consisting of L-carnitine, acetyl L-carnitine and propionyl L-carnitine for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.
  • propionyl L-carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine proves to possess a surprising curative effect on the disorders caused by the andropause.
  • the combination according to the invention does not present the side effects of the androgens described above and can also be used in the group of patients who cannot be treated with the above-mentioned androgens.
  • One object of the present invention then is the use of propionyl L- carnitine in combination with acetyl L-carnitine, or one of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the preparation of a medicament for the prevention and/or treatment of andropause symptoms caused by male ageing or by chemical or surgical castration, characterised by the following symptoms: reduced libido or sexual drive and erectile function, also during the night, depression of mood and lowering of intellectual activity and spatial orientation capacity, fatigue, irritability, reduced lean body mass, muscular capacity, mental concentration, and functioning of the hair-growing apparatus, increased visceral fat, atrophy of the skin, and reduced bone density resulting in osteopenia and osteoporosis.
  • the andropause is also defined as “androgen decline in the aging male” (ADAM), or “partial androgen deficiency of the aging male” (PAD AM).
  • a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of propionyl L- carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine is any salt of these compounds with an acid that does not give rise to unwanted toxic or side effects.
  • salts are, for example, chloride, bromide, orotate, acid aspartate, acid citrate, magnesium citrate, acid phosphate, fumarate and acid fumarate, magnesium fumarate, lactate, maleate and acid maleate, mucate, acid oxalate, pamoate, acid pamoate, acid sulphate, glucose phosphate, tartrate, acid tartrate, magnesium tartrate, 2-amino- ethane sulphonate, magnesium 2-amino-ethane sulphonate, choline tartrate and trichloroacetate .
  • Propionyl L-carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine can be in any form suitable for oral or parenteral administration to human subjects.
  • Propionyl L-carnitine and acetyl L-carnitine can be formulated together, as a mixture, or can be formulated separately (separate packs), using known methods. Propionyl L-carnitine and acetyl L- carnitine can be administered to an individual both when contained in a mixture and when packaged separately.
  • the combination according to the invention can be marketed as a health food supplement, nutritional supplement, or therapeutic product on sale with or without a compul- sory prescription.
  • the preparation of the combination according to the present invention when in unit dosage form, contains from 4.0 to 0.5 g of propionyl L- carnitine inner salt, and from 0.50 g to 4.0 g of acetyl L-carnitine inner salt, or an equimolar amount of one of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
  • the preferred preparation of the combination, in unit dosage form contains 2 g of propionyl L-carnitine inner salt, and 2 g of acetyl L- carnitine inner salt, or an equimolar amount of one of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts.
  • the patients were divided at random into 3 groups of 15 each.
  • the patients in the first group were administered testosterone undecanoate (Andriol R -Organon) 40 x 2 g/day, while those in the second group received propionyl L-carnitine 1+1 g/day associated with acetyl L- carnitine 1+1 g/day, and those in the third group vitamin C (Redoxon R -Roche) 500 mg/day as a placebo.
  • the above-mentioned compounds were presented to the patients in anonymous containers and administered for 6 months.
  • PSA prostate-specific antigen
  • Prostate volume (cm 3 ) as measured by suprapubic ultrasonography and calculated by means of the three diameters rule [Rigatti P., Scattoni V., PSA: Antigene prostatico specifico. Edizioni Medico Scientifiche (EDIMES) Pavia, 1997].
  • RI was calculated as follows: (PSV-EDV/EDV) xlOO (Urology, 1997: 49: 822-830).
  • Table 1 shows the mean PSA levels in the three patient groups before, during and after therapy with the combination according to the invention, with the reference compound (testosterone) and with a placebo.

  • Data are mean ⁇ standard deviation.
  • Peak systolic velocity (PSV) (mean value in cm/sec) of the left cavernous artery of the penis as measured by dynamic colour Doppler ultrasonography before, during and after administration of testosterone undecanoate (40 x 2 mg/day), propionyl L-carnitine 1 2 g/day + acetyl L- carnitine 1 2 g/day or placebo for 6 months to three groups of 15 patients each. Data are mean ⁇ standard deviation.
  • End-diastolic velocity (mean value in cm/sec) of the right cavernous artery of the penis as measured by dynamic colour Doppler ultrasonography before, during and after administration of testosterone undecanoate (40 x 2 mg/day), propionyl L-carnitine 1 x 2 g/day + acetyl L-carnitine 1 2 g/day or placebo for 6 months to three groups of 15 patients each.

  • Table 13 presents the data for blood prolactin levels before, during and after treatment with the combination according to the invention, with testosterone and with placebo. The results obtained show that the treatment did not induce any significant changes.
  • oral testosterone and the combination according to the invention are capable of increasing libido regardless of prolactin (a hormone an increase in which gives rise to a reduction of libido and vice versa).
  • Table 14 presents the scores on the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire (IIEF-15) - "Erectile Function" section, before, during and after therapy with the combination according to the invention, with testosterone and with placebo.
  • Administration of the placebo induced no significant changes in scores.

  • both testosterone and the combination according to the invention proved capable of attenuating the symptoms of andropause.
  • Neither of the compounds tested induced pathological changes affecting the cervico-urethral district.
  • testosterone as mentioned above, its use is still contraindicated in the case of disease of the prostate district as well as for the onset of troublesome adverse effects on the liver, on lipid status, on cardiovascular and prostate diseases, and on sleep and behavioural disorders.
  • the combination according to the invention may therefore be regarded as the drug of choice in the treatment of patients with symptoms associated with ageing, since, in addition to being more active than testosterone, it can be used in a larger number of patients.
