Definitions
- the invention relates to sublingual or buccal pharmaceutical compositions comprising succinic acid or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for preventing and/or treating Alzheimer's disease
- Alzheimer's disease is accompanied with central insulin resistance.
- BeA Acta Neuropathol
- US patent 6521665 discloses the method of treating insulin resistance comprising administering to a mammal in need thereof an effective amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered orally, or parenterally, or topically, or rectally.
- succinic acid does not manifest significant central effects under routes of administration disclosed in US patent 6521665, because of a very low transport capacity for four-carbon dicarboxylates across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
- BBB blood-brain barrier
- succinic acid manifests central effects under sublingual and buccal administration. It is an object of the present invention to provide a sublingual or buccal pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating Alzheimer's disease comprising a therapeutically effective amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the present invention provides a sublingual or buccal pharmaceutical composition for preventing and/or treating Alzheimer's disease comprising a therapeutically effective amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- Succinic acid is a compound of formula HOOCCH 2 CH 2 COOH.
- pharmaceutically acceptable salt refers to non-toxic base addition salts.
- the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the invention are prepared by a reaction of succinic acid with a pharmaceutically acceptable base by methods well-known from the art.
- Such bases include, but are not limited to, ammonia; sodium base; potassium base; organic amines like as triethylamine, ethanolamine, dimethylethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine; 2- ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypiridine; and basic amino acids like arginine, ornithine, and lysine.
- the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of succinic acid is a compound of Formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. More preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of succinic acid is a compound of Formula (II)
- therapeutically effective amount refers to a nontoxic but sufficient amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to provide the desired therapeutic effect.
- the therapeutically effective amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is from 0.1 to 250 mg per a unit dosage form of the composition of the present invention, more preferably, from 5 to 100 mg per the unit dosage form.
- sublingual dosage form in practicing the invention, can be administered by the intraoral, i.e. sublingual or buccal, routes.
- sublingual means relating to the area of the oral cavity below the tongue.
- uccal means relating to the oral cavity.
- the buccal dosage form is administered by placing in the oral cavity and allowing it to dissolve completely.
- the sublingual dosage form is placed beneath the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely. In all instances, since the absorption of the therapeutic agent is through the oral mucosa, the dosage forms should not be chewed or swallowed before complete dissolution in the mouth.
- pharmaceutically acceptable carrier refers to a one or more compatible solid or liquid filler diluents or encapsulating substances which are suitable for administration to any portion of the epithelium of oral cavity of a mammal, preferably a human.
- the carrier may be a solid, liquid, solution, suspension, gel, ointment, lotion, or combinations thereof.
- compositions of the invention can be prepared in a variety of unit dosage forms. Such forms are include, but are not limited to, sublingual tablets, buccal patches, drop, spray, gel, ointment, and powder.
- Preferred pharmaceutical compositions are solid pharmaceutical compositions which rapidly disintegrate in the mouth of a subject, upon insertion into the buccal pouch or upon placement under the tongue. Rapid disintegration means that the pharmaceutical composition is disintegrated within 30 seconds in water at 37 0 C, and preferably within 10 seconds.
- the compositions of the invention are prepared by methods well-known from the art in accordance with accepted pharmaceutical procedures, for example, as described in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18th Edition (Ed. A.R. Genaro), 1990.
- the content of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof should be in the range from 0.1 to 90 %, preferably 0.5 to 10 % by the weight of the composition.
- the present invention provides a method of treating Alzheimer's disease comprising sublingually or bucally administering to a mammal in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising a therapeutically effective amount of succinic acid or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- the term "treating” means treating, controlling, preventing and/or reducing one or more clinical signs (i.e., symptoms) of the disease in a mammal in need thereof.
- the therapeutically effective amount in the method of the invention is 0.1 to 25 mg per kilogram of body weight of the mammal, more preferably, 1 to 5 mg per kilogram.
- the mammal is a human.
- the following examples are presented to demonstrate the invention. The examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
- This example demonstrates sublingual tablet comprising compound of Formula (II).
- Compound of Formula (II), lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, and the magnesium stearate are mixed well in suitable mixer.
- the powder is passed through suitable screen.
- Magnesium stearate is added and tablet is formed by compression. Tablets, when tested according to the USP procedure for sublingual tablets, have a limit of disintegration at most two minutes.
- Example 2 This example demonstrates aqueous composition comprising compound of Formula (II), formulated for administering to the area under the tongue or in the mouth of patient.
- Compound of Formula (II) is dissolved in water for injection to the desired volume, 0.4M disodium phosphate is added to pH 5.0. In this manner, solution with concentration of succinic acid of 20 mg/ml is prepared. The solution is filtered through a sterilizing grade filter (0.2 ⁇ m), and filled into glass vials.
- a disease relevant to human Alzheimer's disease was induced by injection of beta-amyloid peptide 25-35 (beta-amyloid) into nucleus basalis magnocellularis (NBM) of rat brains as described by Harkany T et al. in Behav
- Beta-amyloid was administered bilaterally into
- NBM of male Wistar rats in dose of 2 ⁇ g per each side NBM of male Wistar rats in dose of 2 ⁇ g per each side.
- rats received sublingually or intraperitoneally compositions comprising a water solution of 3 mg/kg of compound of Formula (II) for 7 days singly a day.
- Control rats received saline sublingually.
- passive avoidance performance in rats was tested for two consecutive days.
- a two-compartment, step-through, passive avoidance apparatus consisting of illuminated (25 x 40 x 25 cm) and dark (25 x 40 x 25 cm) compartments attached to an electrified grid floor and separated by a guillotine door (8 x 8 cm) was used.
- the rat was placed in the illuminated compartment in a position its tail directed to the closed door for 2 min to habituate to the apparatus.
- the guillotine door was opened and time to enter to dark compartment was recorded.
- the rat entered to dark compartment completely (four foots in dark compartment)
- the guillotine door was closed and the rat was delivered an electrical shock of 0.8 mA for 3 sec through the grid floor. After the shock, the rat was immediately placed in home cage.
- composition comprising succinic acid
- intraperitoneal administration is much more effective than intraperitoneal administration.
- Sublingually treated rats demonstrate significant improvement in learning and memory as compared to control rats, whereas intraperitoneally treated rats do not.
