  • U.S. 5,013,727 discloses a pharmaceutical composition containing as active ingredient 5- ASA or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or ester thereof allowing the treatment of IBD by oral administration.
  • a particular slow-release tablet formulation and its preparation are disclosed.
  • the antibiotic rifaximin was originally disclosed in Italy as IT Patent 1154655.
  • the related U.S. Pat. No. 4,341,785 to Marchi et al. discloses imidazo-rifamicyn derivatives having antibacterial utility, and the related process for preparing it.
  • the US '785 patent also discloses a pharmaceutical antibacterial composition and a method of using it to treat antibacterial diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
  • Rifaximin is essentially a non-absorbable, non-systemic, semi-synthetic antibiotic, related to rifamycin.
  • the antimicrobial spectrum includes most gram-positive and gram- negative bacteria; and both aerobes and anaerobes.
  • Rifaximin is approved in certain countries for the treatment of pathologies whose etiology is in part or totally due to intestinal acute and chronic infections sustained by gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, with diarrhea syndromes, altered intestinal microbial flora, summer diarrhea-like episodes, traveler's diarrhea and enterocolitis; pre- and post- surgery prophylaxis of the infective complications in gastro intestinal surgery; and hyperammonaemia therapy as coadjutant. The drug has been found to have no significant side effects.
  • Rifaximin is currently marketed as tablets at the dosage of 200 mg for traveller's diarrhea under the brand name "Xifaxan”.
  • IBD Inflammatory Bowel Disease
  • Crohn ' s disease is a chronic transmural inflammation of the bowel, which can affect the whole gastrointestinal tract, usually in a discontinuous pattern.
  • the initial location of CD is most commonly in the lower ileum. From here the inflammation typically spreads towards proximal parts of the small intestine. However, the colon is also often involved.
  • Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting only the colon and shows a continuous distribution in the gastrointestinal mucosa.
  • the focal point of the inflammation is in the distal part of the colon and the rectum. From this origin, the inflammation often spreads proximally. In the most severe cases, the whole colon is affected which is called as "pancolitis". About 30% of patients suffer from this severe form of UC.
  • Ulcerative colitis and Crohn disease occur in areas of the gastrointestinal tract with the highest concentrations of luminal bacteria.
  • the distal ileum contains 10 7 to 10 8 primarily anaerobic bacteria/gram of luminal contents, whereas the colon has 10 11 to 10 12 bacterial colonies/gram, with Bacteroides, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium species predominating.
  • Chronic intestinal inflammation is the consequence of an overly aggressive cell-mediated immune response to commensal (normal endogenous) enteric bacteria in a genetically susceptible host. It is thought that bloating and flatulence, especially troublesome in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), may be caused by bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. 10% to 84% of patients with IBS may have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, as confirmed by lactulose breath tests.
  • IBS irritable bowel syndrome
  • TLR-1 to 9 Individual membrane-bound toll-like receptors (TLR-1 to 9) each recognize a different bacterial product. Similarly, NOD1 and NOD2 receptors bind intracellular peptidoglycan. Binding of bacterial adjuvants to these receptors activates nuclear factor- B (NF B), a central signaling pathway that initiates transcription of multiple proinflammatory molecules found in active IBD and experimental intestinal inflammation. Although intestinal epithelial cells do not constitutively express NOD2 and have low expression of TLR-4, these receptors are upregulated during active IBD by proinflammatory cytokines, particularly tumor necrosis factor (TNF), through an NF B-dependent mechanism. Although, normal commensal bacteria may provide the constant antigenic stimulus driving cell-mediated immune responses that cause chronic intestinal inflammation, the possibility remains that a classic pathogen could cause Crohn disease or ulcerative colitis.
  • TNF B tumor necrosis factor
  • Balfour et al 1 studied the use of antibiotics in the treatment of IBD. The studies concluded that broad-spectrum antibiotics are more effective than selective agents. Also the antigens and adjuvant from the commensal, nonpathogenic enteric bacteria that provides the constant immunological stimulus (there by inducing chronic cell mediated immune response) can be attenuated by decreasing the concentration of enteric bacterial species or by inhibiting bacterial invasion of tissue by using antibiotics.
  • IBS Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Mesalamine and Rifaximin are two different types of drugs offering some symptomatic relief to the IBD patients.
  • Mesalamine treats inflammation, whereas, Rifaximin reduces bioburden.
  • Current individual drug treatments needed larger doses per day, such as 2.4 to 4 g of Mesalamine or 1.2 g of Rifaximin.
