THERAPEUTIC COMPOSITIONS FOR OSTEOINDUCTION
t
TECHNICAL FlFln
The present invention relates to the field of osteoinduction
(bone growth). Specific~lly, the present invention relates to
novel therapeutic formulations comprising the administration of
bone ~ 3 tic proteins and a Vitamin D compound, resulting in
o synergistic bone growth.
B.t~ R( OF THE INVENTION
In healthy individuals bone growth generally proceeds nor-
mally and fractures heal without the need for pharmacologic
intervention. Nonetheless, in certain instances bones may be
weakened or may fail to heal properly. For example, healing may
proceed slowly in the elderly and in patients undergoing treatment
with corticosteroids, such as transplant patients and those being
treated for chronic lung disease. Another example is osteopor-
osis. Osteoporosis is an abnormal loss of bony tissue often
occurring in post r -~ al woman and elderly men. The disorder
increases the risks of small fractures occurring in the bones,
particularly the spine. At present, osteoporosis is treated
mainly by supplements of calcium, vitamin D, estrogen, or
calcitonin, a hormone which controls the body's use of calcium.
2s Unfortunately, these treatments are merely preventative against
the further loss of bone. There is a need in the art for treat-
ments that go beyond the prevention of bone loss and promote bone
formation and/or reverse bone loss.

concluded that these results demonstrate that Vitamin D is
necessary to produce bone inductive proteins in the bone matrix of
a living rat.

",~": ~licallY AcceDtable Carrier
The Vitamin D compound, osteoinductive extract, or BMP may be
~dministered vi~ a pharm~ceutically acceptable carrier. The term
'. ~ic~lly-~ccept~ble carrier~, ~s used herein, means one

WO 92~21365
~ 4l0 -14 PCI/USgz/04356
or more compattble solid or liquid filler diluents or encapsu-
lating substances which are suitable for administration to a human
or lower animal. The term ~compatible~, as used herein, means
that the components of the pharmaceutical compositions are capable
S of being commingled with the compound(s) of the subject invention,
and with each other in a manner such that there is no interaction
which would substantially reduce the pharmaceutical efficacy of
the pharmaceutical composition under ordinary usage situations.
Pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers must, of course, be of
sufficiently high purity and sufficiently low toxicity to render
them suitable for administration to human or lower animal being
treated .
Some examples of substances which can serve as pharmaceuti-
cally-acceptable carriers are sugars such as lactose, glucose and
sucrose; starches such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose
and its derivatives, such as sodium ~u~ . thylcellulose,
ethyl cel 1 ul ose, cel 1 ul ose acetate; powdered tragacanth; mal t;
gelatin; talc; stearic acid; magnesium stearate; calcium sulfate;
vegetable oils such a peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sesame oil,
olive oil, corn oil and oil of theobroma; polyols such as
propylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, mannitol, and polyethylene
glycol; sugar; alginic acid; pyrogen-free water; isotonic saline;
phosphate buffer solutions; cocoa butter (suppository base);
emulsifiers, such as the Tweens; as ~ell as other non-toxic
compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations.
Wetting agents and lubri~ants such as sodium lauryl sulfate, as
well as coloring agents, flavoring agents, excipients, tableting
agents, stabilizers, antioxidants, and preservatives, can also be
present. Other compatible pharmaceutical additives and actives
(e.g., NSAI drugs; pain killers; muscle relaxants) may be included
in the pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier for use in the
compositions of the present invention. For example, art-known
local anesthetics may be included in the pharmaceutically-accept-
able carrier (e.g., benzyl alcohol; Novocaine~; lidocaine).
Additional examples of carriers include collagen, deminer-
alized bone particles, ceramic and metallic implant materials,
collagen membrane and bone grafts (isogenic or allogenic)~
The choice of a pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier to be
used in conjunction with the compounds of the present invention is
_ _ _ _ _ ,

21 10410
- 15 -
determined by the way the compound is to be ~dministered. The
, preferred modes of administering the compounds of the present
invention are by injection, oral administration, topical-oral
administration, and nasopharyngeal administration or a combination
S of modes ~i.e., osteoinductive extract via injection and Vitamin
compound via oral administration). If the compound is to be
injected, the preferred pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier is
sterile, physiological s~line. Suitable pharmaceutically-
acceptable carriers for oral administration include those suited
for tablets, and capsules. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable
carriers for topical-oral administration include those suited for
pastes, gels, and liquids. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable
carriers for nasopharyngeal administration include those suited
for drcps, sprays, mists and pawders.
A separate pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier may be used in
conjunction with each active component of the present invention or
a single pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier may be employed in
conjunction with a mixture of the active components of the present
invention. In either case, the pharmaceutically-acceptable
carrier is used at a concentration sufficient to provide a
practical size to dosage relationship. The pharmaceutically-
acceptable carriers, in tot~l, may comprise from about 0.1% to
about gg.g9959% by weight of the pharmaceutical compositions of
the present invention, preferably from about 50X to about gg.gg9X,
and most preferably from ~bout 75% to about g9.9%.

C. Iniectable Oose Forms:
The actiYe components of the present invention are also
useful when injected. The dosage of the active components of the
present invention which is both safe and effective to provide bone
growth activity will vary ~ith the particular condition being
treated, the severity of the condition, the duration cf treatment,
the specific mixture of compounds employed and its usage concen-
tration, and like factors within the specific knowledge and
expertise of the ~ttending physician and ~ ~te with a
reasonable benefit/risk ratio associated with the use of any drug
compound. In addition, lower dosages will be utilized when only
local or minor bone growth is desired, whereas higher dosages will
be utilized when general or major bone gro~th is desired.
Hethods and m~terials for manufacturing injectables can be
found in Reminqton' s Ph.""~ tical Sciences. 17ed., 1985, Ch~pter
85, p. 1518. Preferably, the injectable compo-
sition is an aqueous solution.
The aqueous solutions preferably consist of water (preferably
from about 80% to about 99.999X), ~ suitable solubilizer, various
types of acids, and an antimicrobial agent. Several solubilizers
are known . Exampl es of such sol ubi l i zers are as fol l ows: urea
compounds (e.g., urea; urethan); surfactants (e.g., Tweens; Spansi
sodium deoxycholate and Pluronics); cellulosic agents (e.g.,
Cdr~G~j thylcellulose); L.,bu~ tes (e.g., sorbitol; mannitol~;
~ vitamins (e.g., nicotin~mide); xanthine derivatives; and ~lco-
hols (e.g., benzyl alcohol). Examples of acids to be used include
the following: glucuronic; galacturonic; fumaric; gentisic;
~cetic; citric and l~ctobionic. Types of antimicrobial agents

that c~n be used are the following: phenylmercur~c n~trate;
th~merosal; benzethon~um chlor~de; benzalkonium chloride; phenol;
cresol; and chlorobutanol . An art-known local anesthet~c (e.g.
benzyl alcohol; ~lovoca~ne~; lidocaine) may also be included.
Preferably the osteo~nductive extract and the BMP s are
adm~nistered v~a an ~njectable dose form.
