Description

TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to an isoprenylamine derivative, a lipid emulsion containing the isoprenylamine derivative, a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for hepatic diseases containing an isoprenylamine derivative as an active ingredient and a prophylactic and therapeutic method for hepatic diseases by administering the isoprenylamine derivative.
BACKGROUND ART
Liver may be affected by various pathogenic causes such as viruses, alcohols, chemical substances and undernutrition, whereby hepatic diseases such as acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, fatty liver and cirrhosis could be caused. Because there are various pathogenic mechanisms of the development of hepatic diseases and because there are many unknown points involved, a development of a prophylactic and therapeutic agent for hepatic diseases is extremely difficult at present. Presently, the representative drug widely used for the therapy and prophylaxis of hepatic diseases and clinically appreciated includes a glycyrrhizin preparation. However, an efficacy of the glycyrrhizin preparation is not so potent that it should be administered in a large volume through an intravenous drip infusion to develop a certain level of its efficacy. This is disadvantageous because a very heavy burden is imposed on both patients and physicians. Moreover, the glycyrrhizin preparation offers a problem that it has steroid-like side effects, and it is reported that the development rate of the side effects tends to increase when the drug is administered in a large amount.
Under these circumstances, there has been earnestly desired a development of a superior drug which may exert a remarkable inhibitory action against hepatopathy in a smaller amount with a higher safety.
Publicly known are the isoprenylamine derivatives having the general formula (III) ##STR2## [wherein p represents an integer of 2-10, a and b represent a hydrogen atom or jointly form a bond between a and b, m represents an integer of 0-4, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, and X represents a phenyl group optionally having a substituent on the nucleus] and a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof, as disclosed, for instance, in Japanese Patent Kokai No. 192342/1982 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,514,573) and others.
The isoprenylamine derivatives having the general formula (III) wherein p is 9, a and b jointly form a bond between a and b, m is an integer of 0-2, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a nonaprenyl group and X is a phenyl group and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are also publicly known and disclosed, for instance, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 53502/1987 (corresponding to U.S. Pat. No. 4,322,555) and others.
Further, the isoprenylamine derivatives having the general formula (III) wherein p is 9 or 10, a and b jointly form a bond between a and b, m is an integer of 1-3, R.sub.1 represents a hydrogen atom, a nonaprenyl group or a decaprenyl group and X is an optionally substituted heterocyclic group and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are also publicly known and disclosed, for instance, in Japanese Patent Publication No. 43740/1989 and others.
It is said that these isoprenylamine derivatives have an in vivo inducing action of the interferon which has been currently used for the therapy of viral chronic active hepatitis, and also have an antiviral activity derived from the said action.
However, there have not yet been known the isoprenylamine derivatives having the undermentioned general formula (II) wherein n is 11 or more.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have made searches and studies to develop a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for hepatic diseases which is free from the aforesaid problems and, as a result, found that the isoprenylamine derivatives of this invention and the lipid emulsion containing the same can exert a remarkable inhibiting action on hepatopathy at a lower dose, upon which this invention has been completed.
A part of the present isoprenylamine derivatives is publicly known as explained above and is known to have an antiviral activity. However, the inhibitory action on hepatopathy of the present isoprenylamine derivatives was observed at a 1/100 or less dose than that for the above antiviral action, and as for the lipid emulsion containing the said isoprenylamine derivatives it was observed at a 1/10000 or less dose than that for the above antiviral action. In addition, there has not yet been reported any invention relating to the lipid emulsion containing the present isoprenylamine derivatives and to a prophylactic or therapeutic agent for hepatic diseases comprising the said lipid emulsion. Moreover, interferon has been currently used as a therapeutic agent for viral chronic active hepatitis, whereas the present isoprenylamine derivatives and the lipid emulsion containing the same can be expected to be effective not only on viral chronic active hepatitis, but also on a wide variety of hepatopathies and hepatic diseases such as chronic persistent hepatitis, alcoholic hepatopathy, fatty liver, cirrhosis, drug-induced hepatopathy and hepatic insufficiency.

The present isoprenylamine derivatives and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are administered orally or parenterally, preferably via parenteral route. Parenteral administration include subcutaneous, intramuscular or intravenous injection or intrarectal administration or dermal administration.
Pharmaceutical preparations for administration may be prepared in any conventional manner. Preparations for oral administration can be prepared, for example, in the form of tablets, powders, granules, hard capsules, soft capsules or liquid preparations, while preparations for parenteral administration can be in the form of, for example, injections, suppositories, ointments, plasters and the like.
The tablets and capsules for oral administration include conventional components such as binders e.g. dextrin, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone or macrogol; excipients e.g. lactose, corn starch, calcium phosphate, magnesium aluminate metasilicate; lubricants e.g. calcium stearate or talc; disintegrators e.g. carboxymethylcellulose or crystalline cellulose.

A dose of the present isoprenylamine drivatives or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof may vary depending upon the age, sexuality and symptoms of patients and the administration route and, where other formulations than the lipid emulsion are applied, the dose in the parenteral administration may be in the range of 0.5-500 .mu.g/kg, preferably 5-500 .mu.g/kg once or in 2-4 divided forms daily.
The present lipid emulsion can be prepared by incorporating the present isoprenylamine derivative of the general formula (II) into fatty particles of a conventional lipid emulsion. It may be readily prepared, for example, by dissolving or dispersing the isoprenylamine derivative of the general formula (II) in a lipid emulsion base and further dispersing the mixture into water using an emulsifying agent to form an oil-in-water emulsion.
The lipid emulsion bases which can be used in preparing the present lipid emulsion include any pharmaceutically acceptable fats and oils conventionally employed in preparing lipid emulsions, for example, vegetable oils such as soybean oil, cotton seed oil, rapeseed oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, sunflower oil; triglycerides of medium chain fatty acids having 8-12 carbon atoms, usually referred to simply as MCT, such as caprylic acid, capric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid; mono- or di-glycerides of aliphatic acid having 6-18 carbon atoms such as caproic acid, capric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linolic acid, linoleic acid, which may be applied alone or in any combination therewith.
Among these vegetable oils, soybean oil, cotton seed oil, rape seed oil, safflower oil and the like are preferably employed and soybean oil is more preferred. These oils are preferably used in their purified forms and those of a higher purity obtained by further purification by steam distillation are more preferably used.
As the emulsifying agents with which the said lipid emulsion base can be dispersed stably into water, there is used at least one emulsifying agent selected from a physiologically acceptable phospholipid and a nonionic surfactant.
The physiologically acceptable phospholipid includes egg yolk phospholipid, soybean phospholipid, phosphatidyl choline, and the nonionic surfactant includes polyoxyalkylene copolymers (such as polyoxyethylenepolyoxyalkylene derivatives having an average molecular weight of 1000-20000, for example, a hardened castor oil polyoxyethylene-(40)-ether or hardened castor oil polyoxyethylene-(20)-ether). Such emulsifying agents may be employed each alone or together with two or more thereof.
Water which is used as a dispersion medium in preparing the present lipid emulsion may be distilled water or ion-exchanged water in a suitable amount, optionally in admixture with a small amount of a water-miscible organic solvent such as ethanol.
The present lipid emulsion may further include additives, as usually done, such as isotonic agents or stabilizers, if required. The isotonic agents which can be incorporated include, for example, glycerol; a sugar alcohol such as sorbitol or xylitol; a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose; a disaccharide such as maltose; an amino acid such as L-alanine, L-valine or glycine, among which one or more are suitably selected for use.
These isotonic agents are added to adjust the osmotic pressure of the lipid emulsion to be approximately isotonic with that of body fluid.
The emulsifying aids or co-emulsifying agents which can be suitably incorporated include, for example, aliphatic acids having 6-22 carbon atoms, such as stearic acid, palmitic acid, linolic acid, linolenic acid and salts thereof (such as sodium salts or potassium salts), phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine and stearylamine.
Stabilizers which can be used include cholesterol, tocopherol and phosphatidic acid. Albumin and aliphatic acid amide derivatives thereof, as well as polysaccharides and aliphatic acid ester derivatives thereof can also be used as the stabilizer. Albumin used for preparing a drug for human is desirably the human-derived albumin from the standpoint of antigenicity, and the aliphatic acid amide derivatives thereof include those wherein 5-40% of all amino groups present in albumin are amidated with an aliphatic acid having 14-18 carbon atoms such as palmitic acid or stearic acid. On the other hand, the polysaccharides include dextran, pullulan, hydroxyethylstarch, and the aliphatic acid ester derivatives thereof include those wherein 5-40% of all hydroxy groups present in the said polysaccharide are esterified with an aliphatic acid having 14-18 carbon atoms such as palmitic acid or stearic acid.
The present lipid emulsion comprises the isoprenylamine derivative having the general formula (II) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof in an amount of 0.0001-1% (w/v), preferably 0.001-0.1% (w/v), the lipid emulsion base in an amount of 5-50% (w/v), preferably 1-20% (w/v) and emulsifying agent in an amount of 0.05-25% (w/v), preferably 0.5-5% (w/v), with water being added so as to make up a total volume of 100%.
And, if required, there may be added an emulsifying aid [for example, an amount of up to 0.3% (w/v) of an aliphatic acid having 6-22 carbon atoms, preferably 12-20 carbon atoms, or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof], and a stabilizer (for example, an amount of not more than 1.2% (w/v), preferably 0.2-0.4% (w/v), of a cholesterol, an amount of not more than 2.5% (w/v), preferably 0.2-0.8% (w/v), of tocopherol or an amount of not more than 5% (w/v), preferably not more than 1% (w/v), of phosphatidic acid, 0.02-5% (w/v), preferably 0.2-2.5% (w/v), of albumin and an aliphatic acid amide derivative thereof and a polysaccharide and an aliphatic acid ester derivative thereof].
The present lipid emulsion can be prepared according to an emulsification procedure known per se. In this instance, a conventional homogenizer may be used as an emulsifier, but it is convenient to use two sorts of homogenizers for preparing a stable and fine lipid emulsion. Illustratively, the present lipid emulsion may be prepared, for example, by dissolving and mixing a given amount of the isoprenylamine derivative of the general formula (II) in the lipid emulsion base such as soybean oil while heating suitably, adding to the mixture a given amount of an emulsifying agent such as purified egg yolk phospholipid and, if necessary, other additives such as emulsifying aids, stabilizers or isotonic agents, warming while stirring to form a uniform mixture, then adding water, treating by a homogenizer to form an oil-in-water crude emulsion and then further homogenizing the resulting emulsion by means of a high pressure homogenizer such as Manton-Gaulin homogenizer or a microfluidics homogenizer. It is also feasible to add the stabilizer and isotonic agent to the resultant lipid emulsion.
In general, the above emulsification procedure may be preferably carried out until an average particle diameter of the dispersed fatty particles in the resulting lipid emulsion reaches to approximately not more than 1 .mu.m, preferably not more than 0.3 .mu.m.
The present lipid emulsion prepared as described above may be freeze-dried as required and the powders obtained by freeze-drying can be reconstituted to the original lipid emulsion upon redissolving in water. Thus, it should be understood that the "lipid emulsion" as used herein is meant to include the freeze-dried products.
When the present isoprenylamine derivatives or pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof are incorporated as an active ingredient into the lipid emulsion, it may be administered in the range of about 0.01-100 .mu.g/kg, preferably 0.1-30 .mu.g/kg, once or in 2-4 divided doses daily depending upon the age, sexuality and symptoms of patients and the administration route. The lipid emulsion is usually administered parenterally by injection, preferably by intravenous injection.
