DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to synergistic pharmaceutical combination a guanosine analogue selected from Acyclovir and Penciclovir; Docosanol and Hydrocortisone for the treatment of Herpes simplex virus infection and associated inflammation.
The, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone of the present invention may be present in the form of free base or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt.
Herpes simplex virus infection of the present invention can be categorized into 2 types herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2).
HSV-1 is mainly transmitted by oral -to-oral contact to cause oral herpes (which can include symptoms known as "cold sores"), but can also cause genital herpes. HSV-2 is a sexually transmitted infection that causes genital herpes. Both HSV-1 and HSV-2 are lifelong infections. Acyclovir or Penciclovir of present invention act as antiviral which inhibit the replication of viral DNA. Docosanol of the present invention act as antiviral which act by inhibiting fusion between the human cell plasma membrane and the herpes simplex virus (HSV) envelope, thereby preventing viral entry into cells and subsequent viral replication.
Hydrocortisone of the present invention act as anti-inflammatory agent which suppresses the inflammation associated with viral infection.
A guanosine analogue selected from Acyclovir and Penciclovir alone, Docosanol alone and Hydrocortisone alone does not provide potent antiviral activity as well as antiinflammatory activity; therefore are not efficacious and does not provide patient compliance in the treatment of Herpes simplex virus infection and inflammation associated with same.
Synergistic pharmaceutical combination of a guanosine analogue selected from Acyclovir and Penciclovir;, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone; wherein Acyclovir/ Penciclovir, Docosanol are antiviral and Hydrocortisone is anti-inflammatory provides potent antiviral activity, efficacy and patient compliance in the treatment of Herpes simplex virus infection and associated inflammation.
The concentrations of Acyclovir or Penciclovir, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone are optimized; so that it will effectively treat Herpes simplex virus infection and associated inflammation with minimum adverse effect and with more patient compliance.
In another aspect of the present invention is to provide synergistic pharmaceutical composition comprising a guanosine analogue selected from Acyclovir and Penciclovir;, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone for the treatment of Herpes simplex virus infection and associated inflammation. The synergistic pharmaceutical composition can be prepared using routine skills and techniques known in the art.
The pharmaceutical composition according to present invention comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of Acyclovir or Penciclovir, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone.
In a preferred embodiment the synergistic pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises Acyclovir or Penciclovir, Docosanol and Hydrocortisone. The concentration of Acyclovir is at least 1%; preferably ranges from 2 to 10%; more preferably the concentration ranges from 3 to 8% by weight of composition.
