Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations which contain 3-deoxypeganine and / or ecamylamine.
- the invention further relates to the use of this combination of active substances for the therapy of harmful alcohol consumption and alcohol addiction,
- alcohol is the oldest, most widespread and by far the most important in terms of its health, social and economic effects.
- alcohol is the oldest, most widespread and by far the most important in terms of its health, social and economic effects.
- Germany there are around 1.6 million clinically dependent on alcohol and 2.7 million people with medically harmful alcohol consumption.
- tiapride an antagonist of dopamine that acts on the receptor subtypes D2 and D3, has gained little practical importance, the opiate receptor antagonist naltrexone (ReVia®, DuPont; Trexan®) and the acamprosate (N-acetylhomotaurin), which has a complex anti-excitatory effect, ; Ca pral®, Merck AG; Aotal®), which also influences noradrenergic and dopaminergic conduction pathways, is used to a much greater extent after acute withdrawal to prevent relapses in alcohol abuse.
- the anti-excitatory gamma-hydroxybutyrate eg Alcover®, Gerot Pharmaceuticals
- Alcover® Gerot Pharmaceuticals
- naltrexone and gamma-hydroxybutyrate produce significant gastrointestinal and psychomotor side effects that impair compliance with the therapy.
- Naltrexone is also characterized by low oral bioavailability (approx. 5% of the amount taken is effective) moreover hepatotoxic, while gamma-hydroxybutyrate itself has addictive potential.
- Dopaminergic therapy can either be done directly (by dopamine receptor agonists such as lisuride or bromocriptine), or indirectly by increasing the dopamine concentration locally available in the synaptic cleft (for example by inhibiting the breakdown of the neurotransmitters by monoamine oxidases).
- dopamine receptor agonists such as lisuride or bromocriptine
- the pharmacology of alcohol is complicated, which is also reflected in the variety of therapeutic approaches described above.
- cholinergic neurotransmission which include cholinesterase inhibitors in particular, occupy a special position in alcoholism therapy that has received little attention.
- cholinergic drugs can improve cognition that is impaired by alcohol-related damage to the cholinergic conduction pathways, thereby increasing insight into the problem.
- cholinergic therapies can also bring about an immediate, non-cognitive reduction in the desire for alcohol. According to the current state of knowledge, this is mediated by the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR), which are located not only on cholinergic but also on dopaminergic neurons in the mesolimbic system.
- nAChR neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors
- Deoxypeganine (1,2,3, 9-tetrahydropyrrollo [2, 1-b] quinazoline) is a cholinesterase inhibitor that does not bind to nAChR in pharmacologically relevant concentrations and additionally inhibits monooxidase A (but not monoamine oxidase B). This substance is also extremely suitable for the therapy of alcohol abuse, as described in DE 199 06 974 and the documents WO 00/48600 and EP 1 154 776 derived therefrom.
- This racemic mixture of the optical isomers exo-S (+) and exo-R (-) -mecamylamine is an almost 100% orally bioavailable, centralized, non-subtype-specific and non-competitive antagonist of neuronal nAChR, which was established in the United States in 1956 Brand names Inversene® and Inversine® were introduced as antihypertensive agents in therapy.
- the two stereoisomers show differentiated, but essentially comparable behavior on the individual nAChR subtypes, whereby the exo-S (+) isomer has a certain selectivity for neuronal nAChR and could therefore have reduced peripheral side effects, particularly on the muscles.
- mecamylamine causes a substantial blockade of the parasympathetic nervous system at the effective doses of at least 25 mg / day in the treatment of essential hypertension and thus leads to an abundance of corresponding side effects, it has only been used since 1977 in exceptional cases. In year In 2000, mecamylamine was reintroduced to the United States for experimental therapy of certain neuropsychiatric disorders.
- mecamylamine administered two hours before drinking alcoholic beverages, reduced the central stimulating psychotropic effects and presumably also the pharmacokinetics of alcohol. Neither of these three works mentions the combination and / or simultaneous administration of mecamylamine with other pharmacologically active substances, in particular not with cholinesterase inhibitors or nicotinic agonists.
- the invention thus relates to the combined use of deoxypeganine and mecamylamine to reduce alcohol consumption.
- the treatment can be carried out either by the simultaneous administration of the two active substances or by the sole administration of mecamylamine, immediately followed by a combination of the active substances according to the invention.
- the rat strain "AA”, bred in Finland, has a genetically determined preference for alcohol, ie the animals prefer alcohol-free liquids to alcohol-free liquids to satisfy their fluid needs, even without pretreatment with alcohol. This strain has therefore been used in numerous studies on the pharmacology of alcohol and is characterized excellently.
- Ambient temperature 24 +/- 1 ° C and the light / dark change was 12/12 hours (dark period from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.).
- Each cage contained two identical drinking vessels, one containing pure water and the other aqueous ethanol (10% v / v).
- the animals were given access to the vessels during the 12-hour dark phase and were free to choose between the two solutions during this time.
- Deoxypeganine hydrochloride (hereinafter referred to as "DOP") was obtained from the Institute of Plant Pharmacology (Tashkent, Uzbekistan) and provided by LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme (Andernach, Germany) after checking its identity and purity. Mecamylamine was considered to be commercial preparation obtained from Sig a-Aldrich GmbH (Munich).
- Mecamylamine was dissolved in 0.9% saline and administered in a volume of 5 ml / kg body weight by intraperitoneal injection.
- DOP was applied as an aqueous solution in a volume of 10 ml / kg using a pharyngeal tube. In the case of combination treatments, these administrations were carried out within a period of less than 10 minutes. At least two treatment-free days were always interposed before and after the treatment days.
- the target parameters were monitored during the 12 hours of the dark period following the treatment, with intermediate results after the first 4 hours and final results after 12 hours.
- the statistical Evaluation of the test data was carried out with the t-test for dependent values.
- the results with regard to alcohol consumption and alcohol preference are summarized in Figures 1 and 2 and in Tables 1 and 2.
- DOP reduced alcohol consumption and alcohol preference, preferably within the first four hours after administration.
- Table 2 Synergy between deoxpeganine po (DOP) and mecamylamine ip (Mec) in reducing the consumption of 10% aqueous ethanol solution by female AA rats.
- the administration according to the invention can take place either in the form of a single medicament with a fixed combination of both active ingredients, or else by administration in separate administration forms.
- deoxypeganine HCl can be administered orally in the form of tablets or capsules, the daily dose being 50 to 750 mg and a daily dose of 100 to 400 mg being preferred, which can be divided into any number of individual doses.
- deoxypeganm-containing transdermal therapeutic systems and oral and parenteral administration forms with delayed release, as described in DE-199 06 974 and the documents WO 00/48600 and EP-1 154 776 derived therefrom be used, usable; the preferred daily dose is 50-250 mg and is preferably given in a single dose.
- mecamylamine can be administered orally, for example in the form of the Inversin TM preparation (Targacept, Inc., USA; tablets containing 2.5 mg of racemic mecamylamine hydrochloride), the daily dose being 2.5-20 mg and a daily dose of 2.5 - 7.5 mg is preferred.
- transdermal systems or oral dosage forms with delayed release formulated according to the usual galenical methods can be used, the daily dose being 0.5-10 mg and preferably being administered in a single dose.
- deoxypeganm and mecamylamine can also be administered in the form of medicaments which contain fixed combinations of the two active compounds, which, depending on the type of administration, are designed such that the daily dose of deoxypeganine is 50 to 750 mg and that of mecamylamine is 0.5 - Can be 20 mg.
- salts is to be understood as meaning, but not exclusively, the salts of the compounds according to the invention with hydrohalic acids and with simple organic acids, such as tartaric acid (tartrates), succinic acid (succinates), maleic acid (maleates), etc.
- the treatment described above with combinations of deoxypeganm and mecamylamine can be preceded by a pretreatment which is carried out exclusively with racing ischemic mecamylamine or its individual isomers and is carried out with daily doses between 0.5 and 20 mg and between one day and five days can take.
