Description

Hi #:2000/ 03278
Related Application
This application claims priority from Australian Innovation Patent Application No. 2007100477 filed on 5 June 2007, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Technical Field
This invention relates to organophosphate compositions and in particular to such compositions where the organophosphate is presented in the form of a drench for the prevention or control of endo- and ecto-parasites in warm blooded animals.
Background Art
There are a number of organophosphate insecticides that are known to be useful for the treatment of parasites in warm blooded animals such as domestic and farm animals. - These include naphthalophos, coumaphos, crufomate, metrifonate and haloxon.
Chemically, naphthalophos (also known as naftalofos) is 2-[(diethoxyphosphinyl)oxy]- : ' 1H-benz[de]isoquinoline-1,3(2H)-dione, coumafos is 3-chloro-7- diethoxyphosphinothioyloxy-4-methylcoumarin, crufomate is (RS)-(4-tert-butyl-2- chlorophenyl methyl methylphosphoramidate), metrifonate (also known as trichlorfon) ~ is dimethyl (RS)-2,2,2-trichloro-1-hydroxyethylphosphonate and haloxon is O,0-di-(2- chloroethyl)-O-(3-chloro-4-methylcoumarin-7-yl) phosphate.
Naphthalophos for example, is practically insoluble in water but is water dispersible.
In order to maintain an acceptable stability profile, it is generally formulated and stored as a wettable powder that may be dispersed in water or in a water-based formulation immediately prior to use.
The wettable naphthalophos powder is highly poisonous to the user if it comes in contact with the skin or eyes, or if the powder is inhaled. Mixing of the powder into the desired solution is time consuming and provides potential for incorrect preparation that can further result in incorrect dosing of an animal being treated. Once the naphthalophos is added to water, it begins to degrade giving a short shelf-life for the made-up dispersion. The reduced shelf-life can be costly to the user as surplus formulation not used during the initial treatment may not retain sufficient potency for treatment at a later time.
Summary of the Invention
The present inventors have recognised the disadvantages of powdered organophosphates and accordingly have sought to provide compositions that are stable and in the form of a suspension. The present inventors have achieved stable solvent- based compositions of organophosphates through the finding that certain solvent combinations with organophosphates result in formulations that are stable and are suitable for oral administration to animals.
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a non-aqueous suspension composition consisting essentially of: a parasiticidally effective amount of at least one organophosphate; one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of medium chain triglycerides, alcohols, C;.Cis pyrrolidones, alkyl ethers, glycol ethers, fatty acid esters and glycerol fatty acid esters; one or more stabilising agents; and one or more surfactants.
In a second aspect, the invention provides a method of preventing or controlling endo and ectoparasites in a warm blooded animal, the method comprising orally administering to the animal a non-aqueous suspension composition consisting essentially of: a parasiticidally effective amount of at least one organophosphate; one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of medium chain triglycerides, alcohols, C;.Cs pyrrolidones, alkyl ethers, glycol ethers, fatty acid esters and glycerol fatty acid esters; one or more stabilising agents; and one or more surfactants.
In a third aspect the invention further provides use of a non-aqueous suspension composition consisting essentially of: a parasiticidally effective amount of at least one organophosphate; one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of medium chain triglycerides, alcohols, C;.C;s pyrrolidones, alkyl ethers, glycol ethers, fatty acid esters and glycerol fatty acid esters; one or more stabilising agents; and one or more surfactants, in the preparation of an oral composition for prevention or control of ecto and endoparasites in a warm blooded animal.
The composition of the present invention may be used for combination therapy as it may include one or more other parasiticides such as those selected from the group consisting of: macrocyclic lactones; salicylanilides; benzimidazoles; imidazothiazoles; and isoquinolines.
Throughout this specification the word "comprise", or variations such as "comprises" or "comprising", will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps, but not the exclusion of any other element, integer or step, or group of elements, integers or steps.
Throughout this specification the phrase "consisting essentially of" or variations thereof will be understood to be open-ended but to exclude elements or ingredients that would materially affect the properties/characteristics of the invention described and claimed herein.
Throughout this specification the word "non-aqueous" will be understood to imply that water may be present in the suspension composition in de minimis amounts such as amounts usually present in the individual starting ingredients. The composition contains no more than about 10%w/v water, preferably no more than about 5%w/v water based on the total volume of the composition.
Suitable organophosphates include but are not limited to naphthalophos, coumaphos, crufomate, metrifonate and haloxon. The preferred organophosphate is naphthalophos.
Naphthalophos may be included in the composition in a concentration of up to 30 percent w/v, such as in an amount of from 1 to 30 percent w/v. Preferably, the naphthalophos is included in the composition in an amount of from 10 to 30% w/v, more preferably 10 to 15% w/v and most preferably from 12.5 to 13.5% w/v.
The one or more organic solvents included in the composition are selected from the group consisting of medium chain triglycerides, alcohols, C;.Cis pyrrolidones, alkyl ethers, glycol ethers, fatty acid esters and glycerol fatty acid esters.
Suitable medium chain triglycerides are those with carbon chain link in the order of from 6 to 12.
Suitable alcohols include but are not limited to those with two or more carbon atoms, preferably two to eight carbon atoms such as ethanol, isopropanol, isooctanol and benzyl alcohol.
Suitable C; — Cig pyrrolidones include 2-pyrrolidone and N-methylpyrrolidone.
Suitable glycol ethers include but are not limited to dipropylene glycol monomethylether, butyl icinol and butyl di icinol.
Suitable fatty acid esters include but are not limited to isopropyl myristate, ethyl oleate, and isopropyl palmitate. : Suitable glycerol fatty acid esters include but are not limited to propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate and propylene glycol isocetyth-3-acetate
Suitably alkyl ethers include but are not limited to dimethyl isosorbide.
Preferred organic solvents are one or more fatty acid esters and one or more alcohols, such as caprylic/capric triglyceride and benzyl alcohol.
Surprisingly, use of some conventional organic solvents does not prevent the hydrolysis of the organophosphate. Slightly hygroscopic solvents may absorb moisture from the surrounding environment. The absorbed water molecules hydrolyse the organophosphate, degrading the active and significantly shortening the shelf-life of the product.
The total concentration of the solvent in the composition may be in the range of from 55 to 97.5% w/v, preferably from 65 to 85 % w/v, more preferably from75 to 80 % w/v.
Suitable stabilising agents may be selected from the group consisting of antioxidants, antihydrolytic compounds and glycerol fatty acid esters. Preferred antioxidants include butylated hydroxyanisole, butylated hydroxytoluene and tocopherols. These antioxidants are also antihydrolytic agents. Preferred stabilising agents are glycerol fatty acid esters such as oleochemicals and epoxidised oleochemicals. Suitable oleochemicals include sunflower oil, palm oil, soybean oil and olive oil. More preferred stabilising agents are epoxidised oleochemicals, such as epoxidised soybean oil.
The stabilising agents in combination with the solvent serve to stabilise the 5 ‘organophosphate against hydrolysis. The stabilising agents act as a water scavenger, reacting with water molecules that may be present in solution before the water can degrade the active.
The total concentration of stabilising agents in the composition may be in the range of from 0.5 to 10% w/v, preferably from 2 to 10 % w/v, most preferably from 7 to 9 % w/v.
The one or more surfactants included in the composition may be selected from non- ionic, anionic, cationic and amphoteric surfactants. Preferably, the surfactants are one or more non-ionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of Cg-C, alkylphenol ethoxylates, Co-Cj; alkyl ethoxylates, Cs-Cy alkyl amine ethoxylates, castor oil ethoxylates, lanolin alcohol ethoxylates, sorbitan fatty acid ester ethoxylates, sorbitan fatty acid esters and mixtures thereof. More preferred surfactants are Cs-Cio alkylphenol ethoxylates and most preferred are Co alkylphenol ethoxylates such as
Teric N8 (a nonyl phenol ethoxylate with 8 ethoxy groups).
Veterinarily acceptable excipients and adjuvants may be included in the composition such as dyes, flavouring agents, thickening agents, dispersing agents and oils. A person skilled in the art would be well aware of appropriate adjuvants suitable for oral veterinary preparations.
