COMPLETE SPECIFICATION Invention Title: Use of a Topical Formulation for the Treatment of Viral Inwfections and Neoplastic Disorders The invention is described in the following statement: 2 Field of the Invention This invention relates to therapeutic compositions for the topical treatment of viral conditions and neoplastic disorders, in particular to a composition in topical form comprising an anti-viral or an anti-neoplastic drug in combination with a potentiating drug which is an anti-inflammatory or an anti-oxidant drug.
Background to the Invention Topical drug treatments of viral conditions such as herpes simplex and neoplastic disorders such as carcinoma of the skin have been used for many years with only a moderate degree of success.
se* A number of drugs which demonstrate anti-viral activity in-vitro and when used systemically, surprisingly 15 do not show efficacy when used topically. Examples of O* such drugs are sulphated polysaccharides as described by Parish et al, Inst. J. Cancer, 511-518 (1987), particularly dextran sulphate, pentosan polysulphate, fucoidan and carageenans Baba et al, Antimicrobial Agents 20 and Chemotherapy, 12 1742-1748 (1988) specifically disclose that these compounds were found when tested 0 in-vitro to be potent inhibitors for herpes simplex virus, human cytomegalovirus, visicular stomatitis virus, Sindbis virus and human immuno-deficiency virus. They were also found to be moderately inhibitory to vaccinia virus but not inhibitory to adeno virus, coxsackie virus, polio virus, para-influenza virus and reo virus.
Sodium pentosan polysulphate (SP54) has also been shown by Raff et al, Munch. Med. Wschr., .11, 23, 817-818 (1977) to have potent anti-viral activity both in-vitro and when given intramuscularly in the treatment of herpes zoster.
Other drugs falling within the scope of this group which exhibit in-vitro and systemic anti-viral activity include foscarnet, suramin, polysulphated polysaccharides, 3 polysulphated polymers, purine nucleoside analogues and derivatives thereof.
Elsewhere, in US4710493 (Landsberger) are disclosed compositions comprising in combination a glycosoaminoglycan polysulphate (excluding heparin) and a cytotoxic drug.
The known serious side effects of the cytotoxic drug were found to be considerably reduced by this combination.
Summary of the Invention The present inventor has found that although the aforementioned drugs are essentially ineffective in the o" *topical treatment of viral conditions and neoplastic :disorders, surprisingly the combination of one of these see drugs with an anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant drug *on results in the potentiation of the first mentioned drug, 15 thereby providing an effective topical treatment for these e conditions and disorders.
This finding is particularly surprising given that a topical formulation comprising a pentosan polysulphate in combination with ethylene glycol monosalicylate ester has 20 been sold for a number of years for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders.
It is still further surprising given that when either of the drugs are used separately in topical form, they are essentially inactive.
25 Accordingly, the present invention consists in a method for the topical treatment of viral conditions or neoplastic disorders comprising applying an effective amount of a composition which includes a first compound selected from the group consisting of foscarnet, suramin, sulphated polysaccharides, polysulphated polysaccharides, polysulphated polymers, purine nucleoside analogues and derivatives thereof, and an amount of an anti-inflammatory or anti-oxidant.drug sufficient to potentiate the activity of the first compound, to an area of the skin or mucous membranes affected by a viral condition or neoplastic 4 disorder.
Description of the Invention It is preferred that the first compound is selected from the group consisting of foscarnet, suramin, sulphated polysaccharides such as heparin and polysulphated saccharides such as dextran polysulphate, pentosan polysulphate, manose polysulphate, carageenan and fucoidan and monovalent and polyvalent salts and complexes thereof. Preferred anti-inflammatory drugs are selected from non-steroidal and steroidal groups of drugs with the anti-oxidant drug being selected from carotenoids, 0ege vitamin E, vitamin A, retinoic acid and retinol and derivatives thereof.
Amongst the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory group of 15 drugs that may be used are salicylate derivatives and compounds such as diclofenac, naproxen and bufexamac.
More preferably the anti-viral and/or anti-neoplastic compound is a polysulphated polysaccharide in the form of monovalent or polyvalent salts and complexes, of molecular 20 weight between about 1,000 and 30,000 Daltons and in a concentration of from 0.01 to 20 weight percent. These monovi 'ent or polyvalent salts and complexes are disclosed in the present applicant's patent application W088/07060, the contents of which are incorporateed herein. Magnesium complexes and zinc complexes of polysulphated polysaccharide are preferred as both magnesium and zinc are known to assist in wound healing.
Generally in the compositions of the invention, the anti-inflammatory drug or anti-oxidant drug will be incorporated in an amount of about 0.01 to about 50 weight percent.
Most preferably the anti-viral and anti-neoplastic compound is pentosan polysulphate of a molecular weight about 6,000 Daltons in a concentration of about 0.5 weight percent whilst the anti-inflammatory drug is 5 triethanolamine salicylate in a concentration of about weight percent or bufexamac in a concentration of about 1 weight Particularly preferred is the zinc complex of pentosan polysulphate in combination with bufexamac.
The compositions of the invention will be formulated using pharmaceutical bases suitable to the site of application and may include dosage forms such as creams, ointments, lotions and the like. A person of skill in this art could readily formulate suitable such *o compositions.
In order to better understand and appreciate the o nature of this invention, a number of examples will now be *o described.
15 Example 1 of zinc pentosan polysulphate and 10ml of triethanolamine salicylate was mixed with 90ml of sorbolene cream.
This formulation was applied topically to a patient 0 20 with the following clinical history. Extensive superficial herpes errosions to the skin resistant to conventional therapy. A formulation containing zinc pentosan polysulphate was applied with no effect. Viral culture indicated that the virus was resistant to a number of agents but was sensitive to foscarnet, which was administered for 2 weeks by intravenous infusion. One week after the cessation of the foscarnet therapy the lesions re-occurred. The lesion was then treated with the mixture of zinc pentosan polysulphate and triethanolamine salicylate in a cream base. Two days after treating the lesions with the mixture the lesions healed and have remained absent for a period of 3 months.
Example 2 Zinc pentosan polysulphate at a concentration of and sodium pentosan polysulphate at a concentration of 4% 6 was compared to 0.5% zinc pentosan polysulphate mixed with triethanolamine salicylate.
Five patients were treated with each formulation twice daily on the lesions. Only the group receiving the zinc pentosan polysulphate mixed with triethanolamine salicylate, showed alteration of the course of the lesions, and were essentially asymptomatic at 48 hours after start of treatment, Example 3 Four cases of chronic herpes simplex of five or more c* years duration of the lip were treated with sodium pentosan polysulphate combined with ethylene glycol siea monosalicylate ester in a cream base. All cases resolved within 2-5 days and no further outbreaks in that 15 area of skin have occurred over the proceeding 12 months Example 4 Early skin carcinoma characterised by roughening of the skin on the skull of a 60 year old male, which had previously been treated with crysurgery, were treated 20 twice daily with a 0.5% pentosan polysulphate and ethylene glycol monosalicylate ester in a cream base. The lesions resolved and have remained clear for 12 months.
Example 10 cases of herpes simplex were treated with a cream comprising 1 weight percent bufexamac and 0.5 weight percent zinc pentosan polysulphate.
The results achieved were comparable to those achieved in Example 2 in which triethanolamine salicylate was used in place of bufexamac 1%.
It will be seen from these Examples that this invention provides effective treatment of a number of topical viral and neoplastic disorders. The treatments may be readily administered given that the compositions used for the treatment are in dosage forms such as creams, ointments and lotions.
7 Whilst this invention has been described with reference to the Examples and certain preferred embodiments, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that numerous variations and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as broadly described.
