Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new formulations of substituted pyrazoline compounds their derivatives as well as their physiologically acceptable salts with nanoparticles.
  • Drug delivery is one of the most critical points in the development of a drug. Many therapeutic compounds demonstrate good in vitro, in vivo and pharmacological properties but finally fail to overcome the last hurdle: To be on the correct site of action. As a result undesired side effects may occur because of too high drug doses.
  • targeting drug delivery systems as are for example nanoparticles, drugs can be transported directly to their site of action by crossing natural biological barriers as for instance the blood-brain barrier or the skin.
  • this attributes may be changed by applying the Drug delivery systems which are part of the current invention. This means a significant advantage over traditional formulations since less active ingredient is needed to have the same therapeutic effect.
  • the safety profile of a given drug with respect to adverse side effects improves dramatically.
  • Cannabinoids are compounds, which are derived from the cannabis sativa plant which is commonly known as marijuana.
  • the most active chemical compound of the naturally occurring cannabinoids is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), particularly ⁇ 9 -THC.
  • CB 1 and CB 2 are involved in a variety of physiological or pathophysiological processes in humans and animals, e.g. processes related to the central nervous system, immune system, cardiovascular system, endocrinous system, respiratory system, the gastrointestinal tract or to reproduction, as described for example, in Hollister, Pharm. Rev. 38, 1986, 1-20; Reny and Singha, Prog. Drug. Res., 36, 71-114, 1991; Consroe and Sandyk, in Marijuana/Cannabinoids, Neurobiology and Neurophysiology, 459, Murphy L. and Barthe A. Eds., CRC Press, 1992.
  • these compounds have a high affinity for cannabinoid receptors, particularly for the CBi-receptor, and that they act as modulators e.g. antagonists, inverse agonists or agonists on these receptors. They are therefore suitable for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of various disorders related to the central nervous system, the immune system, the cardiovascular system, the endocrinous system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal tract or reproduction in humans and/or animals, preferably humans including infants, children and grown-ups.
  • the present invention relates to new pharmaceutical formulations comprising substituted pyrazoline compounds associated with nanoparticles.
  • Nanoparticles represent an innovative drug delivery system (For review see: Pharmazie; 2004; 59: 5-9). These particles are solid or semi-solid colloidal particles ranging from 1 to 1000 nm in diameter, consisting of macromolecular material which can optionally be biodegradable.
  • Nanoparticles can among other things be used for targeted delivery of drugs (as exemplified by disclosure in US.6, 117,454), to sustain drug effects in target tissue (J Pharm Pharmeceut Sci, 2000, 3:234-258), to improve oral bioavailability, to solubilize drugs for intravascular delivery or to improve the stability of therapeutic agents.
  • Another important aspect of nanoparticle technology is the topical delivery of drugs and vaccines through the skin (Expert Rev Vaccines, 2003, 2:753-761 ; Adv Drug Delivery Rev, 2002,
  • blood brain barrier refers to the bbb in the narrower sense, i. e. in the sense this term is used usually by a person skilled in the medical field, as well as to the blood spinal barrier and blood retina barrier.
  • drugs do not pass the bbb efficiently or not at all and are only effective when given directly into the brain.
  • the blood brain barrier (bbb) which consists of the endothelium of the brain vessels, the basal membrane and neuroglial cells, acts to limit transport of substances into the brain.
  • the structure of the bbb is subdivided into two components: the endothelial or capillary barrier and the ependymal barrier (Banks, W. A., Kastin, A. J., Barrera, Delivering peptides to the central nervous system: Dilemmas and strategies, Pharm. Res. 8 (1991 ), 1345-1350).
  • the nature of the substance penetration through the bbb has not yet been determined but it is known that many of the regulators of brain function such as cytokines, transferrin, enkephalines, endorphines can pass through the bbb from the vessels into the.
  • nanoparticles refers to particles of a size from 1 to 1000 nm in diameter and includes but is not restricted to any type of nanoparticles such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), a nanosuspension, nanocrystals, polymeric nanoparticles, microparticles, a nanoemulsion, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC), micelles, liquid crystals, liposomes, or nanocapsules.
  • Said nanoparticles are preferably solid, semi-solid, crystalline, amorphous or noncrystalline and may be stabilized by suitable additives such as polymers and/or lipids and are at optionally at least partially biodegradable.
  • biodegradable or “bioerodible” refer to components of nanoparticles that can for example degrade into low molecular weight compounds, which are known to be involved normally in metabolic pathways.
  • the terms also include nanoparticle systems which can be broken down in the biological milieu so that the integrity of the system, and in some cases its components such as macromolecules is affected and gives fragments or other degradation by-products which can be transported.
  • a substituted pyrazoline compound as defined herein is bonded to the nanoparticles via chemical or physical interaction such as covalent bonding, van der Waal's bonding, hydrogen bonding, ionic interaction, or complexation.
  • said pyrazoline compounds may be absorbed by a nanoparticle, adsorbed to a nanoparticle, may be inside a nanoparticle, or may be enclosing a nanoparticle.

  • step a) 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-oxo-3-butenoic acid obtained according to step a) (12.6 g, 60 mmoles), 2,4-dichlorophenylhydrazine hydrochloride (12.8 g, 60 mmoles) and glacial acetic acid (200 ml_) were mixed under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated to reflux for 4 hours, cooled down to room temperature (approximately 25 0 C) and given into ice-water, whereby a sticky mass was obtained, which was extracted with methylene chloride. The combined methylene chloride fractions were washed with water, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to dryness to give a pale yellow solid (12.7 g, 57% of theoretical yield).
  • N-aminopiperidine (0.6 ml_, 5.6 mmoles) and triethylamine (4 mL) were dissolved in methylene chloride (25 mL).
  • methylene chloride 25 mL
  • the resulting mixture was ice-cooled down to 0 0 C and a solution of 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(2,4- dichlorophenyl ⁇ . ⁇ -dihydro-pyrazole-S-carboxylic acid chloride obtained in step (c) in methylene chloride (15 mL) was added dropwise.

Said compound was administered intraperitoneally to the rats over a period of 14 days in a daily dosis of (10 mg/kg body weight).
  • the third group of rats was treated with Amphetamine, an active ingredient known to reduce appetite. Said compound was administered intraperitoneally to the rats over a period of 14 days in a daily dosis of (5 mg/kg body weight).
