  • a method for the treatment of a mammal including man, suffering from or susceptible to emesis, comprising administration of an effective amount of a GABA agonist having an agonist action at GABA B receptors listed above or generically or specifically disclosed in the above referenced patent specifications.
  • baclofen reduced the frequency of vomiting due to duodenal ileus in a patient with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
  • ( ⁇ ) baclofen in the treatment of emesis caused by duodenal ileus is not included within the scope of the instant invention.
  • GABA agonists having an agonist action at GABA B receptors have been shown to have anti-emetic activity as indicated by for example their ability to inhibit emesis induced by a variety of emetogens in the ferret.
  • emesis The treatment of emesis mentioned hereinbefore includes the treatment of nausea, retching and vomiting.
  • Emesis includes acute emesis, delayed or late emesis and anticipatory emesis.
  • GABA agonists having an agonist action at GABA B receptors are useful in the treatment of emesis however induced.
  • emesis may be induced by drugs such as cancer chemotherapeutic agents such as alkylating agents, e.g. cyclop hosp ham id e, carmustine, lomustine and chlorambucil; cytotoxic antibiotics, e.g. dactinomycin, doxorubicin, mitomycin-C and bleomycin; anti-metabolites, e.g.
  • cytarabine methotrexate and 5-fluorouracil

  • heartburn such as episodic heartburn, nocturnal heartburn, and meal-induced heartburn and dyspepsia.
  • GABA B agonists may be administered as the raw chemical but are preferably presented as a pharmaceutical formulation. Suitable pharmaceutical formulations for GABA B agonists are described in the art, for example as in the above referenced patent specifications.
  • GABA B agonists may be formulated for oral, buccal, parenteral, depot or rectal administration or in a form suitable for administration by inhalation or insufflation (either through the mouth or nose). Oral and parenteral formulations are preferred.
  • the pharmaceutical compositions may take the form of, for example, tablets or capsules prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g. pregelatinised maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g. lactose, microcrystaliine cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g. potato starch or sodium starch glycollate); or wetting agents (e.g. sodium lauryl sulphate).

  • Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g. sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g. lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g. almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils); and preservatives (e.g. methyl or propyl- p_-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid).
  • the preparations may also contain buffer salts, flavouring, colouring and sweetening agents as appropriate.
  • Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active compound.

  • Suitable dose ranges are described in the art, that is to say that for use as anti- emetics the compounds may be used at doses appropriate for other conditions for which GABA B agonists are known to be useful. It will be appreciated that it may be necessary to make routine variations to the dosage, depending on the age and condition of the patient, and the precise dosage will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or veterinarian. The dosage will also depend on the route of administration and the particular compound selected.
  • a suitable dose range is for example 0.1 mg/kg to about 200 mg/kg, e.g. 0.1 mg/kg to 10 mg kg, bodyweight per day.
  • GABA B agonists having an agonist action at GABA B receptors useful in the instant invention may, if desired, be administered in combination with one or more other therapeutic agents and formulated for administration by any convenient route in a conventional manner. Appropriate doses will be readily appreciated by those skilled in the art.
  • GABA agonists having an agonist action at GABA B receptors may be administered in combination with a systemic anti-inflammatory corticosteroid such as methyl prednisolone or dexamethasone, a 5HT3 antagonist such as ondansetron, granisetron or metoclopramide, or a tachykinin antagonist, including substance P antagonists and other neurokinin antagonists, such as an NK-* receptor antagonist, or a sympathomimetic such as ephedrine, pseudoephedrine or oxymetazoline.

  • Cisplatin Test In this model of emesis the onset of retching and vomiting occurs approximately 1 hour after the administration of cisplatin (200mg/m 2 i.p.). The test compound was administered (s.c.) 1 hour after the administration of the emetogen and its effect on emesis determined by comparison with appropriate controls (e.g. water).
