Definitions
- the present invention has application in the pharmaceutical industry and describes various pharmaceutical compositions comprising the synergistic combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, such as the active ingredient: Meloxicam or Celecoxib and an xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor, such as the active substance: Allopurinol, in addition to pharmaceutically acceptable excipients; which are formulated in a single dosage unit to be administered orally, which are indicated for the control and treatment of gout, gouty arthritis and related diseases.
- a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent such as the active ingredient: Meloxicam or Celecoxib
- an xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor such as the active substance: Allopurinol
- the combination of the aforementioned active ingredients produces a greater synergistic effect when administered in combination in a single unit of Dosage unlike when these are administered independently, generating benefits such as: administration of lower concentrations of the active ingredients contained in the formula, lower doses administered, faster pharmacological action, maximization of the therapeutic effect and lower risks of presenting side effects .
- Gout or gouty disease is a metabolic disease caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the body, mainly in the joints and in the kidney, which is why it is considered a rheumatic disease.
- Gout is a predominant disease in men (> 95%), in women it is usually observed rarely and always occurs during menopause
- Gouty disease comprises a group of heterogeneous disorders that occur in isolation or in combination, such as: 1) Hyperuricemia; 2)
- Hyperuricemia which is the fundamental biochemical characteristic and the prerequisite for the existence of gout, is defined as the presence of a urate plasma concentration greater than 420 ⁇ mol / L (7.0 mg./dL.) And is an elevation test of Total body concentration of urates.
- uric acid is elevated, but there is no arthritis.
- menopause In patients with enzymatic defects it can begin from birth. It can last a lifetime, and generally the picture of gouty arthritis occurs after 20 years of hyperuricemia, although from 10 to 40% of hyperuremic patients will have urolithiasis up to 10 years before the first acute joint crisis.
- Hyperuricemia may occur as a result of elevated urate synthesis, reduction in the removal of uric acid or a combination of both mechanisms.
- Uric acid is the final product of the degradation of purines in humans. It is a weak acid, with a pKa of 5.75 to 10.3.
- the urates are the ionized form of uric acid and predominate in plasma, extracellular fluid and synovial fluid, so that approximately 98% of them are in the form of monosodium urate, in the presence of a pH of 7.4.
- Monosodium urate is easily ultrafiltrable and dialysable from plasma.
- the binding of urates to plasma proteins has little meaning physiological.
- the plasma is saturated with monosodium urate at a concentration of 415 ⁇ mol / L (6.8 mg./dL.) At 37 ° C. Therefore, at higher concentrations, the plasma is supersaturated with urates and there is the possibility of precipitation of urate crystals
- Uric acid is more soluble in urine than in water, probably due to the presence of urea, proteins and mucopolysaccharides.
- the pH of the urine greatly influences the solution.
- the urine is saturated with uric acid in concentrations between 360 and 900 ⁇ mol / L (6 to 15 mg / dL).
- saturation is achieved with concentrations between 9480 and 12000 ⁇ mol / L (158 to 200 mg / dL).
- the ionized forms of uric acid in Urine includes mono and disodium urates, potassium urate, ammonium urate and calcium urate.
- the amount of body urates is the net result obtained between the amount produced and the amount excreted.
- the synthesis of urates varies depending on the purine content in the diet and the rates of biosynthesis, degradation and saving of purines. Under normal conditions, between two thirds and three quarters of the synthesized urate is eliminated in the kidneys and much of the remaining urate is removed in the intestine.
- glomerular filtration For the renal control of uric acid in humans, a triple mechanism is proposed, consisting of: glomerular filtration, tubular secretion and tubular reabsorption. Approximately 8 to 12% of the urate filtered by the glomerulus is excreted in the urine in the form of uric acid. After filtration of 98 to 100%, the urate is reabsorbed. About half of the urate reabsorbed is secreted back into the proximal tubule, where 40 to 44% is reabsorbed again.
- the plasma concentration of urate varies depending on age and sex. Most children have a concentration between 180 and 240 ⁇ mol / L (3.0 to 4.0 mg / dL).
- the average plasma urate values in adult men and premenopausal women are 415 and
- Hyperuricemia can be defined as the plasma urate concentration greater than 420 ⁇ mol / L
- hyperuricemia is the concentration of urates in the blood that exceeds the limits of solubility of monosodium urate in plasma, that is, 415 ⁇ mol / L (6.8 mg./dL).
- hyperuricemia is defined by the mean plus two standard deviations of the values determined in a healthy population selected at random. In a large study, 95% of unselected subjects had plasma urate concentrations below 420 ⁇ mol / L (7.0 mg / dL).
- hyperuricemia can be defined in relation to the risk of developing disease.
- the risk of gout or urolithiasis increases with urate concentrations greater than 420 ⁇ mol / L (7.0 mg./dL), and grows proportionally as this figure rises.
- Hyperuricemia presents a prevalence between 2.0 and 13.2% in adults on an outpatient basis and somewhat higher in hospitalized patients.
- hyperuricemia causes hyperuricemia. It is useful to classify hyperuricemia in relation to the underlying physiology; that is, as due to: an increase in synthesis, a reduction in elimination or a combination of both.
- the diet represents an exogenous source of purines and, therefore, contributes to the plasma concentration of urates, proportionally to their purine content.
- the strict restriction of purine intake reduces the average plasma concentration of urates by only 60 ⁇ mol / L (1.0 mg / dL) and the urinary elimination of uric acid by 1.2 mmol / day (200 mg / day), approximately.
- RNA purines Since approximately 50% of ingested RNA purines and 25% of ingested DNA purines appear in the urine in the form of uric acid, foods with a high nucleic acid content have a significant effect on the urinary concentration of urates Among sayings Foods include liver, gizzards (thymus and pancreas), kidneys and anchovies.
- Endogenous sources of purine synthesis also influence the plasma concentration of urates.
- the de novo biosynthesis of purines which consists of the formation of a purine ring from linear structures, is an eleven-step process that ends with the formation of inosinate (IMP).
- the first step combines phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) and glutamine and is catalyzed by the enzyme amidophosphoribosyltransferase (amidoPRT).
- PRPP phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate
- AmidoPRT amidophosphoribosyltransferase
- the rate of purine biosynthesis and subsequent urate synthesis depends primarily on said enzyme.
- the amidoPRT is regulated by a substrate, the PRPP, which favors the progress of the reaction and by end products of biosynthesis, the IMP and other ribonucleics, which exert a negative feedback.
- hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase Another regulatory route is the rescue of purine bases by the enzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT). Said enzyme catalyzes the combination of hypoxanthine purine bases and guanine with the PRPP to form the respective IMP and GMP ribonucleotides.
- the increase in rescue activity thus delays de novo synthesis, as it reduces the concentrations of PRPP and increases those of inhibitory ribonucleotides.
- the plasma urate concentration is closely related to the de novo biosynthesis rate of purines.
- An X-linked disorder that causes increased activity of the PRPP synthetase enzyme increases PRPP synthesis and accelerates de novo biosynthesis.
- Subjects with this congenital metabolic disorder have overproduction of purines, hyperuricemia and hyperaciduria, so they have uric acid and gout stones before 20 years.
- uric acid excretion Up to 98% of subjects with primary hyperuricemia and gout have a disorder in the renal control of uric acid. This is demonstrated by the presence of a decreased urate removal rate, with respect to glomerular filtration rate (or with respect to insulin removal rate) on a wide range of filtered charges. How Consequently, gout subjects eliminate approximately 40% less uric acid than normal subjects, for any plasma urate concentration.
- the excretion of uric acid increases in subjects with gout and in those who do not suffer when the plasma concentration of urates increases as a result of ingestion or intravenous administration of purines, but in the former, the plasma concentration of urates should be 60 to 120 ⁇ mol / L (1 to 2 mg./dL) higher than normal to achieve an equivalent uric acid removal rate.
- the alteration of uric acid excretion may appear, in theory, as a result of reduced tubular secretion or increased tubular reabsorption. Reduction of urate filtration does not appear to cause primary hyperuricemia, but it contributes to hyperuricemia of renal failure.
- gouty disease Complications of hyperuricemia. Although the symptoms of gouty disease can follow almost any combination in its presentation form, the Typical sequence comprises progression from asymptomatic hyperuricemia, acute gouty arthritis, intercritical gout, and chronic or tofaceous gout. Nephrolithiasis may appear before or after the first attack of gouty arthritis.
- the prevalence of hyperuricemia is estimated to be between 2.0 and 13.2%, while the prevalence of gout varies between 1.3 and 3.7% in the general population.
- gout complications correlate with the duration and severity of hyperuricemia.
- Most of the initial attacks of gouty arthritis occur after 20 to 40 years of sustained hyperuricemia, with a maximum age of establishment between 40 and 60 years for men and after menopause in women.
- gouty arthritis the characteristic feature of gout is acute attacks of monoarticular arthritis. The first attack begins explosively and is one of the most painful events ever experienced.
- the initial attack affects only one joint, although there are polyarticular presentations, which may be more frequent in women.
- Gouty arthritis primarily affects peripheral joints, particularly those of the lower extremities.
- certain locations, such as fascia may be affected. plantar, the insertion of the Achilles tendon or other tenosynovial.
- the first metatarsophalangeal joint is affected in more than 50% of the initial attacks and in 90% of the subjects at some time. Rarely, sacroiliac involvement of the sternal or spinal handlebar occurs.
- Any factor that causes an increase or a sharp decrease in plasma urate concentration can cause an acute attack; the greatest correlation is established with the factors that cause a rapid decline.
- Acute attacks of gout occur in 20 to 86% of subjects with a history of gout when they are hospitalized for medical or surgical reasons.
- Attacks may occur after the use of thiazide diuretics that cause hyperuricemia or after the introduction of treatments with Alopurinol or other medications to reduce plasma urate.
- acute gouty arthritis attacks occur in the absence of hyperuricemia. Probably, most of these attacks can be explained by the presence of factors that reduce the plasma concentration of urate, so that they temporarily modify hyperuricemia, which is usually present (and that perhaps triggered the attack).
- gout can develop at any time when synovial fluid gets find supersaturated urate. Free water is removed faster from the joint space than the urate, so if the amount of a synovial fluid that contains a normal concentration of urate increases, as a result of trauma or edema, the intra-articular concentration of urate temporarily increases when the Initial problem is solved and water is eliminated more quickly.
- Acute gout appears as a consequence of the interaction between urate crystals and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, including the activation of humoral and cellular inflammatory mechanisms.
- Uranus crystals activate complement through both the classical and alternative pathways.
- Hageman's factor and the coagulation contact system are also activated, which results in synthesis of bradykinin, kallikrein and plasmin.
- the interaction of urate crystals with neutrophils results in the release of lysosomal enzymes, free radicals derived from oxygen, metabolites of leukotrienes and prostaglandins, collagenase and protease.
- Phagocytosis of crystals by neutrophils causes release of the crystal-induced chemotactic factor (CCF).
- CCF crystal-induced chemotactic factor
- CCF, leukotriene B 4 (LTB 4 ) and the activated component of complement C5a are all chemotactic factors and contribute to the response of polymorphonuclear leukocytes during the initial phase of acute arthritis.
- Uranus crystals cause the release of prostaglandins (PGE 2 ), lysosomal enzymes, tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukins 1 and 6 (IL-I and IL-6) by said cells.
- PGE 2 prostaglandins
- IL-I and IL-6 tumor necrosis factor alpha
- IL-I and IL-6 interleukins 1 and 6
- Synovial lining cells also participate in the inflammatory response by releasing inflammatory mediators.
- the inflammatory potential of urate crystals is greatly affected by the presence of absorbed proteins. Purified absorbed IgG causes platelet secretion induced by crystals, increased synthesis of superoxide and increased release of lysosomal enzymes from polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
- Tofos are aggregates of monohydrated monosodium urate crystals, usually surrounded by giant cells due to a mononuclear inflammatory cell reaction of a foreign body. They can form in joint and extra-articular structures and cause deformity and destructuring of soft and hard tissues. In the joints, they can lead to the destruction of cartilage and bone, which triggers secondary degenerative changes.
- therapeutic agents such as: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and xanthine oxidase inhibitors should be used.
- NSAIDs encompass a broad group of drugs that have an important analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity, as well as other therapeutic effects.
- Enolic Acids which in turn are subdivided into: Pyrazolones (Metamizol), Pyrazolidinediones ⁇ Phenylbutazone), Oxicams (Piroxicam and Meloxicam).
- Coxibs to which they belong: Celecoxib, Parecoxib, Lumiracoxib, Etoricoxib, Rofecoxib (withdrawn) and Valdecoxib (withdrawn).
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories manifest their analgesic action by relieving pain associated with inflammation or tissue injury by decreasing the production of prostanoids that sensitize nociceptors to mediators, such as bradykinin. They are effective in pain of mild or moderate intensity. Its antipyretic effect is presented by inhibition of prostaglandin production in the hypothalamus and interference in temperature regulation mechanisms.
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are analgesic and antipyretic, some (indomethacin, piroxicam) are more anti-inflammatory, most are moderately anti-inflammatory ⁇ ibuprofen, nabumetone) and others ⁇ paracetamol) have a minimal anti-inflammatory effect.
- Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents have platelet antiaggregant activity, which is of special interest in the case of Acetylsalicylic Acid because of its irreversible inhibitory effect on platelet COX.
- This NSAID is very useful in the prevention of coronary and cerebral thromboembolic accidents.
- some NSAIDs have uricosuric action as a result of the inhibition of uric acid transport from the lumen of the renal tubule to the interstitial space. It is only seen with some NSAIDs at high doses, such as phenylbutazone, sulfinpyrazone or salicylates.
- NSAIDs In the mechanism of action of NSAIDs, all their effects are related to the inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and the inhibition of prostaglandin production.
- COX cyclooxygenase
- the ASA is the only one that produces an irreversible inhibition of COX-I.
- the anti-inflammatory effect of NSAIDs is clearly related to COX-2 inhibition and many of the undesirable effects are related to COX-I inhibition.
- Meloxicam was characterized as a potent anti-inflammatory agent in various conventional models of inflammation. In addition, it proved to have a weak gastric ulcerogenicity in the stomach of rats, despite its potent anti-inflammatory activity.
- COX-2 From the discovery of a second COX enzyme, COX-2, it has been hypothesized that the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs are achieved through a different mechanism than the frequently observed side effects of these compounds, including the alteration of cytoprotection in the stomach, renal function and inhibition of platelet aggregation.
- COX-I is the constitutive isoenzyme that is found under physiological conditions in most tissues, an enzyme "maintenance" so to speak, while COX-2 expression is mostly induced, particularly during inflammatory processes.
- recent evidence indicates that COX-2 expression is also constitutive in some tissues, such as in the CNS and kidney.
- NSAIDs inhibit both enzymes in a non-selective manner, which causes anti-inflammatory effects (related to COX-I inhibition), typically of a gastrointestinal nature.
- Meloxicam is an enolcarboxyamide derivative that belongs to the enolic acid group. Play a potent inhibitory activity on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), with a selectivity 75 times higher for COX-2 compared to COX-I, acting as an inhibitor in the synthesis of prostaglandins that have the function of being mediators responsible for inflammatory processes
- Meloxicam was described since 1994 as a selective COX-2 inhibitor in relation to COX-I.
- the 5-methyl group present in the Meliaxicam thiazolyl ring can enter the additional space at the active COX-2 site, which explains part of its selectivity.
- Effective intracellular access is determined by its unique lipophilic and amphiphilic properties.
- Meloxicam In its acidic form, Meloxicam has a membrane solubility 10 times greater than that of Piroxicam, comparable to that of other NSAIDs.
- Meloxicam leaves membranes approximately twice as fast as Diclofenac. In general, Meloxicam is rapidly transported through membranes, but within a range that allows it to efficiently interact with its white enzyme.
- the low water solubility of Meloxicam at an acidic pH and its amphiphilic protonation behavior are the responsible for tissue kinetics that prevents a high concentration of this drug in certain tissues of the digestive tract.
- Meloxicam does not show the typical "ion trapping" behavior that characterizes NSAIDs of the carbonic acid class, which may contribute to the favorable profile of gastrointestinal tolerability observed clinically.
- Meloxicam has a good digestive absorption and optimal bioavailability (89%), after having been administered a single dose by mouth. Some of the main pharmacokinetic characteristics are: its prolonged absorption, its sustained serum concentrations and its long elimination half-life (20 hours), which allows a single daily dose to be administered. Once its absorption in the digestive tract, Meloxicam easily diffuses into the blood and inflamed tissues, having a high adherence with plasma proteins (> 99%) and its metabolites are excreted both in the urine and feces .
- Celecoxib is a selective inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) with properties anti-inflammatory drugs similar to those of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as naproxen or diclofenac. Due to its specificity towards cyclooxygenase-2, the risk of producing adverse effects at the gastrointestinal level is lower than with conventional NSAIDs.
- COX-2 non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Celecoxib is a non-competitive inhibitor of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) unlike conventional NSAIDs that are inhibitors of COX-I and COX-2. These enzymes catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2 and thromboxanes.
- COX-2 is important in the synthesis of substances that participate as mediators in inflammation and pain, while COX-I produces prostaglandins that are beneficial for gastric and renal functions.
- Non-selective NSAIDs such as Ibuprofen or Diclofenac inhibit the two types of cyclooxygenase, with Celecoxib being 100 times more active against COX-2 than COX-I.
- Celecoxib does not significantly inhibit COX-I. Nor does it have any effect on platelet aggregation.
- the expression of the COX-2 is induced by several cytokines and growth factors in inflamed tissues. In vitro studies have shown that COX-2 inhibitors, whether selective or not, have a preventive activity on colon cancer.
- Celecoxib is a drug to administer orally. After the administration of an oral dose, Celecoxib is well absorbed reaching maximum plasma levels in about 3 hours. High-fat foods delay the absorption of Celecoxib from 1 to 2 hours and increase the amount of drug that is absorbed by 10 to 20%; Therefore, this drug can be administered with meals. Celecoxib binds extensively to plasma proteins (especially albumin) and is widely distributed, the distribution volume being approximately 400 L. Celecoxib is metabolized through the CYP 2C9 enzyme system of cytochrome P450, three metabolites having been identified inactive in human plasma. Only a small part of the unchanged Celecoxib is recovered in the urine and feces.
- the metabolites are eliminated by the kidneys and bile: 57% of the dose is recovered in the feces and 27% in the urine.
- the plasma clearance is about 500 mL./min.
- the elimination half-life is about 11 hours.
- Advanced age, liver failure or renal dysfunction affect the pharmacokinetics of Celecoxib significantly, also influencing ethnic and racial factors.
- Xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitors decrease uric acid production by blocking the final step in urate synthesis, while raising oxipurins (xanthine and hypoxanthine).
- Uric acid is the main product of the catabolism of endogenous or exogenous purines (diet) in man.
- intraarticular urate crystals can be asymptomatic, or it can trigger an inflammatory process by activating the complement, of the kinin system, and release of cytokines (Interleukin-1, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, TNF-alpha) by macrophages and synoviocytes.
- cytokines Interleukin-1, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8, TNF-alpha
- Alopurinol is a pyrazolopyrimidine, a hypoxanthine analogue, that functions as a potent competitive inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase. It is the most used antihyperuricemic agent, also being a substrate for said enzyme. Oxipurinol, the main metabolite of Alopurinol, is also an effective inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase.
- Alopurinol is absorbed in the digestive system and has a bioavailability of 80 to 90%.
- the half-life of Alopurinol is 1 to 2 hours and Oxipurinol It is 21 hours.
- the excretion of Oxipurinol increases with uricosuric agents and is reduced in renal failure.
- Alopurinol is effective in the treatment of all types of hyperuricemia, but is specifically indicated in the following cases: 1) patients with gout, 2) signs of urate overproduction (24-hour uric acid in urine greater than 4.8 mmol (800 mg.) With a normal diet, or greater than 3.6 mmol (600 mg.) With a purine restriction diet) and 3) patients with kidney stones composed of 2, 8-dihydroxyadenine.
- Alopurinol reduces the plasma concentration of urates and urinary excretion of uric acid during the first 24 hours, with a maximum reduction at two weeks.
- Alopurinol Approximately 20% of ingested Alopurinol is excreted in feces. While Alopurinol is removed by glomerular filtration, Oxipurinol is reabsorbed by the renal tubules in a similar way as uric acid does. The clearance of Oxipurinol is increased by uricosuric drugs and, consequently, the association of a uricosuric drug with Alopurinol reduces its effects. on xanthine oxidase and increases the excretion of uric acid in the urine.
- Alopurinol is a substrate of the enzyme xanthine oxidase which it competitively inhibits, it gives rise to Oxipurinol, also an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, and inhibits de novo purine synthesis.
- Alopurinol acts on the catabolism of purines without modifying their biosynthesis. Reduces the production of uric acid by inhibiting the biochemical reactions that lead to its formation.
- Alopurinol is a structural analog of the natural hypoxanthine base and acts as an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid, the final product of purine catabolism in man .
- the reduction of the concentration of uric acid favors the dissolution of the precipitates (tofos), prevents the appearance of acute attacks and prevents the occurrence of severe complications. Virtually the possibility of uric acid stones and, thus, the appearance of nephropathies disappears.
- the effective dose of Alopurinol is 300 mg / day.
- the dose necessary to control the plasma concentration of urates in an appropriate manner depends on the severity of the tantalum disease and renal function.
- Alopurinol can be administered once a day, thanks to the prolonged half-life of Oxipurinol.
- compositions that are the subject of the present invention are composed of the synergistic combination of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, such as the active ingredient: Meloxicam or Celecoxib and an xanthine oxidase enzyme inhibitor, such as the active substance: Alopurinol, in addition to pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, which are formulated in a single dosage unit to be administered orally, which are indicated for control and treatment of Gouty or Gouty Disease, Gouty Arthritis and other related pathologies.

- a model of arthritic pain in rats was determined.
- the data were interpreted using the Synergic Surface Interaction (ISS) analysis and an isobolographic analysis to determine the nature of the interaction.
- the ISS was calculated from the total antinociceptive effect produced by the combination after subtraction of the antinociceptive effect produced by the drug separately.
- Female rats received Meloxicam only orally, Alopurinol only orally, or 24 different combinations of Meloxicam plus Alopurinol. Material and methods .
- Uric acid was suspended in mineral oil; Meloxicam and Alopurinol were dissolved in carboxymethyl cellulose and administered orally.
- each dose of Meloxicam (0.18, 0.32, 0.56, 1.0, 1.78, 3.16 or 5.62 mg./kg.) Or Alopurinol (3.16, 5.62, 10.0, 17.78, 31.62, 56.23 or 100.0 mg./kg.) supplied six animals to obtain the corresponding dose-response curves.
- the doses of Meloxicam (0.10, 0.18, 0.32, 0.56, 1.0 or 1.78 mg./kg.
- Alopurinol (3.16, 5.62, 10.0 or 17.78 mg./kg.)
- Were then combined to analyze possible synergistic interactions 24 combinations in total). At the end of the study the rats were sacrificed.
- the antinociceptive activity was determined using the PIFIR model described in detail.
- Nociception was induced by an intra-articular injection (ia) of 0.05 mL. of uric acid suspended in mineral oil in the knee joint of the right hind leg.
- the suspension was prepared by grinding 3.0 g. of uric acid with 10 mL of mineral oil in a glass mortar with pistil (Pyrex).
- Intra-articular injection was carried out through the patellar ligament using a 1 mL glass syringe.
- the contact time of the damaged member reached a value of zero after 2.5 hours after the application of uric acid injection; During this time, Meloxicam and Alopurinol were administered independently or in combination. This time was considered as zero time for measures of antinociceptive effects; These effects were measured every 30 minutes for the next 4 hours. This allowed to determine the time course of the antinociceptive effects in the same animal. Antinociception was considered as the recovery of contact time.
- the data are expressed as the Functionality Percentage Index (IF%, that is, the contact time of the injected leg divided by the contact time of the left leg, control, multiplied by 100).
- IF% Functionality Percentage Index
- % of gastric lesion (IUM / IUI) x 100 where IUM is the Ulcerative index of the drug being tested (mm 2 ) and IUI is the Ulcerative index of the Indomethacin tested (mm 2 ).
- the study data, tables and figures are expressed as IF%.
- the curves for the IF% vs. the time was made for each treatment and the corresponding time course was obtained.
- the antinociception was estimated as the recovery of the IF%.
- the accumulated antinociceptive effect during the entire period of the Observation (4 hours) was determined as the area under the curve (ABC) of the course of time to obtain the dose-response curve and to analyze the total antinociceptive effect obtained by the analgesic agent either alone or in combination.
- the synergism between Meloxicam and Alopurinol was calculated with the analysis of the Surface of the Synergistic Interaction (SIS) and with the isobolographic method (Tallarida et al., 1989).
- the ABC was calculated for each combination of the medications and for each of the components.
- an ABC equivalent to the sum was expected. If the sum of the corresponding individual ABCs was higher than the theoretical sum, the result was considered potentiation; if it was similar to the theoretical sum, it was considered to show additive antinociceptive effects.
- the ABC was obtained by the trapezoidal rule (Rowland and Trozer, 1989). All values for each treatment are average ⁇ SEM, for six animals.
- the ABC values for the drug combinations were compared with the expected values using the drug test. Student The ABC values obtained from the antinociceptive effects produced by Meloxicam or Alopurinol
- Gastrointestinal side effects caused by Meloxicam or Alopurinol were obtained with the gastrointestinal effects obtained from Indomethacin by Dunnett's test. P ⁇ 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
- the DE 50 value of the total dose of the combination was calculated from the dose-response curve of the combined drugs.
- the statistical significance between the theoretical additive point and the experimental value DE 50 was assessed using the Student test.
- the experimental figure DE 50 significantly lower than the theoretical addition DE 50 (P ⁇ 0.05) was considered to indicate synergistic interaction between Meloxicam and Alopurinol.
- Antinociceptive effects of drug combinations The antinociceptive effect of the 24 combinations on the three-dimensional graphs. These were constructed using the average of six animals for each dose either alone or in combination.
- the maximum Antinociceptive effect that can be obtained from the various combinations of Meloxicam + Alopurinol (1.78 + 17.78 mg./kg., respectively) was 372.7 ⁇ 15.6 au.
- Statistical analysis of the data indicate an interaction between Meloxicam and Alopurinol (P ⁇ 0.05) while there were no antagonistic effects of the combination tested.
- Allopurinol only represents a combination that produced the maximum potentiation of the antinociceptive effect (169.4% plus ABC or complete antinociceptive effect that is the sum of the individual ABCs); likewise, both the course of time and the
- Alopurinol reduced erosion generation (P ⁇ 0.05) and ulcerations were similar to those of Meloxicam administered alone.
- the Meloxicam + Alopurinol combination showed an effective synergistic effect, compared to the Administration of these drugs independently, on the other hand, showed lower gastrointestinal side effects such as ulcerations.
- the combination can be administered in diseases such as gout, gouty arthritis or other related pathologies.
