Description

Antipyretic Medicine Containing Dexibuprofen As An Effective Component
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an antipyretic medicine containing dexibuprofen as an effective component. Dexibuprofen (S (+) -ibuprofen) is an S(+)- stereoisomer of ibuprofen (2-4 (isobutylphenyl) propionic acid) having the following formula:
Figure imgf000003_0001
Background Art
Ibuprofen is one of the propionic acid-based nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) . Ibuprofen is excellent in pharmaceutical effects and stability, and is thus widely used for treating hyperthermia induced by a cold, inflammatory diseases and the like, and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatism and arthritis (referred to as "Cox SR, Gall EP et al . , J. Clin. Pharmacol. 1991, 31, 88-94" and "Rudy AC, Bradley
JD et al., Ther. Drug. Monit. 1992, 14, 464-470"). Ibuprofen has pharmaceutical effects such as antipyretic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity, since it inhibits a biosynthesis of prostaglandin, which is pro-inflammatory material in vivo, by inhibiting an activity of cyclooxygenase (referred to as "Eller N,
Kollenz CJ et al . , Int. J. Clin. Pharmacol. Ther. 1998,
36, 414-417") . Ibuprofen ordinarily exists in the form of racemate including two stereoisomers of R (-) -ibuprofen and S (+) -ibuprofen at a rate of 1:1 (referred to as
"Zohmann A, Hawel R et al . , Inflammopharmaciolgy, 1998,
6, 75-79") . It is considered that dexibuprofen is more effective and preferable than the currently used ibuprofen in terms of its reduced side effects, and its development as an antipyretic medicine, arthritis therapeutic agent and its relating therapeutic agent. However, the pharmaceutical research and therapeutic development for dexibuprofen are still unsatisfactory rather than ibuprofen (referred to as "Eur . J. Clin. Pharmacol. 1995, 48, 505-511"). Particularly, it has not been reported that an excellent antipyretic medicine can be obtained by using dexibuprofen. It has now been surprisingly discovered that use of ibuprofen in the form of S-stereoisomer, substantially free of its R-stereoisomer exerts an excellent antipyretic medicine rather than ibuprofen. The present invention has been accomplished on the basis of these findings . Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide an excellent antipyretic medicine comprising a dexibuprofen as an effective component.
Disclosure of the Invention The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition which comprises ibuprofen in the form of its S-enantiomer (dexibuprofen) , substantially free of its R-enantiomer, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof.
Examples of such a salt or solvate include dexibuprofen lysine; and a sodium salt, a potassium salt, a calcium salt, a magnesium salt, a zinc salt of dexibuprofen. The present invention also provides the use of a composition which comprises in dexibuprofen NSAIDs
(acetaminophen, aspirin, pranoprofen and the like) , antitussive, antihista inic drug, sympathomimetic and/or anti-inflammatory agent for manufacturing of a medicament for use as an antipyretic agent. The present invention also provides a method for preparing an antipyretic medicine by adding dexibuprofen to a mixture of carboxy-methyl-cellulose, saccharose, colorant, preservative and distilled water. Dexibuprofen is available from "Shasun Chemical & Drugs Ltd." In order to prepare an antipyretic medicine according to the present invention, dexibuprofen may be mixed with well known other active components; inert solid, .liquid and gaseous carriers; additives; 'and/or, adjuvants . The examples of the other active components to be used in the present invention include NSAIDs (acetaminophen, aspirin, pranoprofen and the like) , sympathomimetic drugs (phenylpropanolamine, ethylephedrine hydrochloride, etc.), anti-inflammatory agents (serratiopeptidase, streptokinase and the like) , antihistaminic drug (chlorophenylamine maleate, cetirizine, etc.), antitussive (cloperastine hydrochloride, codeine hydrochloride, theophylline, etc.) and the like. The examples of the inert solid, liquid and gaseous ingredients used in the present invention include magnesium stearate, carbxymmethyl cellulose calcium, carnauba wax, nitrogen dioxide, carbonic acid gas and the like. The examples of the additives and adjuvants used in the present invention include paraoxy benzoic acid, oleosaccharum, colorant, flavorings and the like. According to the present invention, dexibuprofen is also effective for treating hyperthermia accompanied by infectious and inflammatory diseases; aspecific hyperthermia; - and hyperthermia caused by a cold. According to the present invention, dexibuprofen exerts the same antipyretic effect as ibuprofen even though a half dosage of ibuprofen is administered.

Post-Drug: after administration of test materials and control
Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention The present invention is described in more detail by referring to the following examples without limiting the scope of the invention in any way.
Example 1: (Preparation of Dexibuprofen, Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen) 150.2 g of agar (Agar Powder, produced by Showa Co., Ltd., Japan) and 5,032.0 mg of glycerin (Glycerol, produced by Aldrich Co., Ltd., USA) were added to 100 ml of 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt solution (CMC, produced by DaeJung Co., Ltd., Korea) to obtain a solution. As test materials, 100.0 mg of dexibuprofen, 1,000 mg of acetaminophen and 1,000 mg of ibuprofen were melted, respectively, in the solutions in three vehicles. Two kinds of solutions for each test material having concentrations of 1 mg/ml and 10 mg/ml, respectively, were made with the said solutions. These two kinds of solution were diluted to prepare the test materials having various concentrations.
Example 2 : (Hyperthermia-Inducing Experiment) Body temperature of 144 rats (body weight 250~260 g) was measured before administering the yeast. Among them 120 rats having a body temperature of about 37.5°C were selected and divided into 12 groups with 10 rats in each group. The average body temperature of each group was 37.4°C, and no difference of the average body temperature in each group was found. 20% yeast suspension (produced by Sigma Co., Ltd., USA) was hypodermically injected into the necks of the rats in each group at a dose of 20 ml/kg to induce hyperthermia (referred to as wJournal of Ethnopharmacology 2001, 75(2-3), 283-286"). The rats were fasted for 19 hours after hypodermical injection. But, water was freely supplied. The rats were weighed twice shortly before administration of the yeast and test materials. In twice weighing, the body weight was slightly reduced. But, this reduction did not affect the experimental result of the present invention, since it naturally appeared on account of hyperthermia and fast.
Example 3: (Experiment on Antipyretic Activity) After 19 hours from the yeast-administration, the body temperature of the rats in each group was measured to confirm the hyperthermia of the rats. Dexibuprofen (dosages: 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 g/kg) as a test material, and acetaminophen (dosages: 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) and ibuprofen (dosages: 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg) as controls were orally administered to the rats. The change of body temperature of the rats was observed after 30, 60, 180 and 360 minutes from the administration of the test material and two controls. The body temperature measured at this time and the body temperature measured during the acclimation period as a standard body temperature evaluated antipyretic activity. As a result, after yeast-inducing hyperthermia, the body temperature was measured before 2 hours from the administration of the test materials to confirm the' hyperthermia of the rats.' Average body temperature in each group was 39.0~39.23 °C . No difference of the average body temperature in each group was found. After 19 hours from the administration of the yeast, dexibuprofen was administered at each dosage of 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 mg/kg. The body temperature was measured in time intervals of 30, 60, 180 and 360 minutes from the administration. As a result, after 30 minutes from the administration of dexibuprofen, an antipyretic effect appeared at a dosage of 10 mg/kg. After 60 minutes from the administration, the same antipyretic effect appeared in each group. The same effect could be obtained in each group except for 360 minutes at a dosage of 10 mg/kg and 180 minutes and 360 minutes at a dosage of 1 mg/kg. However, it is confirmed that the antipyretic effect is dependent on the concentration of the dexibuprofen after 60 minutes from the administration. When measuring the body temperature in the same manner as above, the same antipyretic effect appeared at dosages of acetaminophen (100, 200 and 400 mg/kg) in each group after 30 minutes and 60 minutes from the administration. But, antipyretic effect could not be found in the rats of the group administered at a dosage of 100 mg/kg after 180s minutes and 360 minutes -from the administration, and at a dosage of 200 mg/kg after 360 minutes from the administration. However, an antipyretic effect was found at a dosage of 400 mg/kg until 360 minutes from the administration. And low body temperature was found at an excessive dosage due to its side effect. In the case of ibuprofen at dosages of 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg, the same effect could be obtained in all the groups except for the group administered at a dosage of 50 mg/kg (30 minutes). Generally, the antipyretic effect was dependent on the concentration. Comparing the body temperature of the rats when administrating dexibuprofen and acetaminophen at their excessive dosages, low body temperature symptom was not found in case of dexibuprofen, but low body temperature symptom was found in case of acetaminophen. In addition, reviewing the prolonged time of the effect at a concentration inducing no low body temperature symptom, it was confirmed that an antipyretic effect was sustained as long as more than 360 minutes at dosages of 25 and 50 mg/kg of dexibuprofen, but as short as less than 180 minutes at a dosage of 200 mg/kg of acetaminophen. When administering dexibuprofen and ibuprofen at the same dosages of 10 and 50 mg/kg, more excellent antipyretic effect appeared in dexibuprofen than in ibuprofen. And a dosage of 100 mg/kg of ibuprofen and a dosage 50 mg/kg of dexibuprofen represented the same antipyretic effect. The results from the experiment are shown in Table 1 below.

400 mg of dexibuprofen was mixed with concentrated glycerin, natural rubber latex, gelatin, flowable paraffin, sodium polyacrylate, propylene glycol, carboxymethylene cellulose sodium, zinc oxide, sorbitan monosterate, dibutylhydroxytoluene, citric acid and paraoxy benzoic acid, and then sufficiently stirred to give an adhesive solution containing dexibuprofen. The obtained adhesive solution was applied to non-woven textile using a knife doctor. The textile was dried by gradually heating it from 60°C, covered with polypropylene film, and then cut into a size of 20 cm2 to obtain a final product of a patch.
EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As apparent in Examples, it was found that dexibuprofen has more excellent antipyretic effect than positive controls, ibuprofen and acetaminophen. The antipyretic effect of dexibuprofen at 25 and 50 mg/kg is substantially the same as that of the two positive controls, 50 and 100 mg/kg of ibuprofen and 400 mg/kg of acetaminophen .
