Description

Technical Field The invention relates to an enema preparation for 5aminosalicylic acid. g£ig.r Art -Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is a known active compound which is employed, in particular, for the treatment of inflammatory intestinal disorders, such as ulcerative colitis. The administration of 5-ASA as an enema preparation is particularly convenient, since the active principle can hereby be brought directly to the site of the pathological changes. In these preparations, however, the known chemical instability of 5-ASA in solutions or suspensions presents considerable difficulties. In the past, various paths were followed to get to grips, in particular, with the light and oxygen sensitivity of 5-ASA.
US Patent 4,657,900 thus proposes an enema preparation in which highly pure 5-ASA is present as an aqueous suspension which, after preparation with exclusion of oxygen and addition of bisulphite as an antioxidant, is sealed into an opaque polyethylene rectal applicator which, for its part, is heatsealed into a polyester/aluminum film/polyethylene bag.
US Patent 4,664,256 discloses a very similar administration form in which, apart from bisulphite, a chelating agent, such - 2 as e.g. ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) is additionally contained as an antioxidant.
The problem of instability in enema preparations is apparently reasonably solved by these measures.
Apart from the expensive packing in the case of the 5-ASA enema preparations according to the prior art, the preparations, however, exhibit problems which have to do with the resuspendibility of the 5-ASA suspension before use. The known preparations must be shaken very vigorously and persistently, especially before use, in order to achieve a homogeneous dispersion of the active compound which is desirable for administration. It goes without saying that this laborious resuspension is only managed inadequately, in particular by infirm patients and on the whole is not conducive to patient compliance.
Description of the invention It has now surprisingly been found that 5-ASA enema preparations according to the prior art can be improved in numerous respects by the addition of titanium dioxide. The light and oxidation stability of 5-ASA suspensions is increased by this addition according to the invention to such an extent that it is no longer necessary to make the 5-ASA suspension available in a double-walled container. A further advantage is that the stability of the suspension is increased such that the tiresome resuspension before administration by shaking can foe dispensed with.
The invention therefore relates to an aqueous 5-aminosalicylic acid enema suspension preparation, which comprises titanium dioxide in addition to the customary auxiliaries.
Customary auxiliaries are understood as meaning those auxiliaries which are customarily employed for suspensions and those which can be used for the stabilisation of 5-ASA suspensions. The first group includes e.g. the customary viscosity-enhancing substances, preservatives, such as e.g. benzoic acid, pH-regulating substances, such as buffers, chelating agents, such as e.g. EDTA, and antioxidants, such as, in particular, the bisulphites customary in 5-ASA preparations .
Titanium dioxide is added according to the invention in an amount of from 0.1 to 3, preferably 0.1 to 1, and, in particular, 0.5% by weight.
-ASA is contained in the suspensions according to the invention in an amount of from 0.5 to 10, preferably 2 to 6, and, in particular, about 4% by weight.
Bisulphites as antioxidants are contained in the suspensions according to the invention in an amount of from 0.05 to 0.5, preferably 0.1 to 0.2, and, in particular, about 0.15% by weight.
Viscosity-enhancing substances are contained in the suspensions according to the invention in an amount of from 0.05 to 2, preferably 0.1 to 1, and, in particular, about 0.5% by weight.
Chelating agents are contained in the suspension according to 25 the invention in an amount of from 0.01 to 0.5. preferably 0.05 to 0.2, and in particular, about 0.1% by weight.
The suspension according to the invention is prepared according to the processes known from the prior art with the exclusion of oxygen. The finished suspension is then packed with exclusion of oxygen in customary flexible enema applicators, which are preferably manufactured from opaque plastic.
Preparation iexample V, A suspension is prepared according to the customary processes 5 and packed in enema containers which, per 50 g enema pack, contain the following constituentss -aminosalicylic acid sodium dihydrogen phosphate x 2H2O sodium edetate benzoic acid titanium dioxide E 171 sodium disulphite xanthan gum sodium hydroxide solution 10 M purified water 2.000 g 0.500 g 0.050 g 0.100 g 0.250 g 0.075 g 0.250 g (to pH 4.0) to 50.00 g
