Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new use of 3 ⁇ -7ß-dihydroxy-5ß-cholan-24-acid (ursodeoxycholic acid, UDCA) or derivatives thereof for improving the immune system in patients with HIV infection and in particular for prophylaxis, for the therapy of an HIV infection .
  • UDCA ursodeoxycholic acid
  • the infection process of the human immunodeficiency virus is initiated by an interaction of the outer coat protein gpl20 with the CD4 molecule expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages.
  • the outer coat protein gpl20 with the CD4 molecule expressed on lymphocytes, monocytes and macrophages.
  • CD4-positive cells bind HIV, but are not necessarily infected. It has therefore been postulated that further host cell-specific factors are required which interact with the HIV coat protein in order to activate the fusion domain of the viral gp41 (Werner, A. AIDS Research (AIFO) 9th year, October 1994, volume 10).
  • CD26 dipeptidyl peptidase IV
  • the surface marker CD26 which is particularly expressed on T lymphocytes, is a dipeptidyl peptidase IV expressed on activated lymphocytes, which acts as a marker for interleukin-2-producing CD4 lymphocytes (Scholz W. (1986) "Association of IL-2 production with the expression of dipeptidyl-peptidase IV (DPIV) on human T lymphocytes "in Leukocyte Typing II (Reinherz, EL et al. eds.) Vol. 1: Human T lymphocytes, p. 489, Springer Verlag, New York).
  • Ursodeoxycholic acid a natural bile acid that also occurs in human bile in a low concentration and acts as a cholagogue, is today the treatment of choice for primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), because in many studies UDCA led to a reduction in symptoms and in almost everyone to a significant drop in laboratory parameters (Leuschner U. (1994), Internist, 35, 1147-1155).
  • UDCA showed in initial studies a positive effect on liver symptoms and the associated pain in the upper abdominal area in AIDS-associated diseases of the biliary tract (cholangiopathies) (Chan, MF et al. , Gastrointest. Endoscopy., 40 (2, Pt. 2), 1994).
  • the present invention relates to the use of ursodeoxycholic acid or derivatives thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for improving the immune system in patients with HIV infection and in particular for prophylaxis for the therapy of HIV infection.
  • the values of CD26-positive cells, the absolute lymphocyte number and / or CD4-positive peripheral blood lymphocytes increase, and above all the values of CD26-positive cells and absolute lymphocyte number.
  • Derivatives of ursodeoxycholic acid are, for example, iso-ursodeoxycholic acid and ursodeoxycholic acid conjugates such as tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid and glyco-ursodeoxycholic acid.
  • the drug is preferably given orally.
  • the daily doses are primarily around 5-20 mg / kg, preferably around 10 mg / kg body weight.
  • suitable pharmaceuticals are UDCA capsules with 250 mg UDCA, UDCA tablets with 500 mg UDCA, UDCA suspensions with 500 mg UDCA / 5 ml, UDCA-cyclodextrin complex effervescent tablets with 500 mg UDCA and a tauro-ursodeoxycholic acid solution with 100 mg ' UDCA / 5 ml for intravenous use.
  • UDCA can be administered together with cyclodextrin, in particular with a water-soluble cyclodextrin, especially with 2-hydroxypropyl- ⁇ -cyclodextrin (Vandelli et al. (1995) Int. J. Pharm., 118, 77 -83).
  • a mixture of UDCA and cyclodextrin which results in a complex of UDCA and cyclodextrin.

  • the present invention therefore also relates to a pharmaceutical composition which, in a separate or mixed unit dosage form UDCA, optionally together with cyclodextrin, preferably 2-hydroxypropyl- ⁇ -cyclodextrin as component A and one or more anti-HIV agents, preferably azidothymidine and / or dideoxyinosine , contains as component B.

  • the expression of CD26 in peripheral blood lymphocytes was determined before, during and after therapy with UDCA.
  • peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated from whole blood by means of density gradient centrifugation and the CD26-positive cells were then determined by the method of Lojda ((Lojda, Z: (1977) Histoehernistry, 54, 299-309).

  • cytofluorimetric determinations on CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19, CD25 and CD26 were performed and the number of lymphocytes was determined, and the ongoing tests were carried out at monthly intervals.
  • the determinations showed that the CD26 values of the patient PG (Table 1) during the four-month therapy with UDCA from 3 to 10%, the patient RH (Table 2) from 3 to 13% and the patient CJ (Table 3) of 2 rose to 16% and the patient's FR (Table 4) from 8 to 16%.
  • the absolute lymphocyte count (Ly) also increased during therapy with UDCA in the patient PG (Table 1) from 0.5 * 10 6 to 3.6-10 6 , in the patient RH (Table 2) from 1.0 * 10 6 to 4.0 * 10 6 , in the patient CJ (Table 3) from 2.0'10 6 to 4.0 * 10 6 and in the patient FR (Table 4) from 0.8'10 6 to 2, 3- 10 6 .
  • CD4-positive peripheral blood lymphocytes showed fluctuations, but after 4 months of therapy with UDCA they reached the highest values in all patients like never before (Table 1-4). After the therapy was discontinued, CD4-positive peripheral blood lymphocytes remained high in two patients (Tables 2 and 3) and dropped to the baseline values before therapy in two patients (Tables 1 and 4).
  • peripheral blood lymphocytes increased 2-14-fold after therapy with UDCA. At the same time, the number of lymphocytes rose 2-4 times. The number of CD4-positive cells has increased slightly.
