English Abstract





The present invention provides a method for the treatment of diseases by the decomposition of peroxynitrite, preferably decomposition
to benign products, comprising the use of a complex which is a selected ligand structure providing a complexed metal such as Mn, Fe
Ni and V transition metals. The method of use, as well as novel pharmaceutical compositions therefor, are for the treatment of diseases
advantageously affected by decomposition of peroxynitrite at a rate over the natural background rate of decay of peroxynitrite in humans
suffering from the disease which comprises administration of an amount of a complex, in dosage unit form, which is effective for such
acceleration of the decomposition of peroxynitrite.


French Abstract

Procédé de traitement de maladies par la décomposition de peroxynitrite, de préférence en produits bénins, qui consiste à utiliser un complexe qui est une structure de ligand sélectionnée fournissant un complexe métallique tel que des métaux de transition de Mn, Fe, Ni et V. Le procédé d'utilisation, ainsi que les nouvelles compositions pharmaceutiques à cet effet, sont destinés au traitement de maladies avantageusement combattues par la décomposition de peroxynitrite à un rythme supérieur au rythme naturel fondamental de décomposition du peroxynitrite chez des humains souffrant desdites maladies. Ledit procédé consiste à administrer une quantité d'un complexe, sous forme d'unité dosée, qui est efficace pour accélérer la décomposition du peroxynitrite.

remained unclear.
Recently a body of rnnnrPlline evidence surfaced which
teaches that NO by itself may not be rPRr~nQi~' for cell damage (See
Absts. of 1st Annual Mtg. of Oxygen Society, Nov. 124, 1993,

with the over-~-udu~Liu-- of NO. r~. U~ylL~ is known to

pH rarlges (see;Keith et al. J ~hPm ~'~oc (A). p.90, 1969). When the pEI is

that ~,.u~y~LilLiLe ~ generates a strong oAidant v.~ith

In other words, harmful products from ptluAylliL-iLe

25 In addition, it hAs been shown that the reaction of

(See also Radi et al, A~rh P ' Biûrh.vs.. l9gl, 288, 481~87). It is

I~e c- .l v . ~l~ of the present invention can possess one or
more &b.yll~-~,LI ;C carbon atoms and are thus capable of escisting in the
form ûf optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or nu~ _v Lc
3n misctures thereof. The optical isûmers can be obtained by rPc~ n of
the racemic misctures according to conventional processes, for example
by formation of ~li&,DL~ - - salts by LlvaLLv~.lL with an optically
active acid. Examples of ~ vlu~;aLv acids are tartaric,

optical isomers inYolves the use of a chiral cL-~ A~ Y column
optimally chosen to maAimize the l;_~JQI '- of the I ,A ,I - ,l D. Still
another aYailable method involves synthesis of covalent

in an activated form or an ûptically pure i6~ ~1n~e. The sv..LLe~.._d

tumor necrosis factor, intPr1P11kin l and 6. Therefore, IL-2-treated
patients resernble patients with ~ y~u~ r~ elevated
'l'NF levels, elevated cytokine lcvels etc). Some of these induce release of
free radicals as well as inducing iNOS with, ~ u-~.l release of NO.

C ~ -rlc and/or ~ of this irivention is selected in
UIlOC with a variety.of factors, incliuding the type, age, weight,
sex, diet and medical condition of the patient, the severity of the
disease, the route of ~ r' ~ u~6;d~ Lullo

the par~cular cn nrolln(l employed, whether a drug delivery system is
utilized and whether the ~pnmrO~n~ci is ~ d as part of a drug

widely and therefore may deviate from the preferred dosage regimen

diluent or solvent, for example, as a solution in 1,3-'v ~l~ .. l;rl Among
5 the ~L ~ Ll_ ve~icles and solvents that may be employed are water,
Ringer's solution, and isotonic sodium chloride solution. In addition,
sterile, fixed oils are ~u,,~_..Lu,,c.lly employed as a solvent or

employed including synthetic mono- or L,j;ly.~;.;d¢~. In addition, fatty

S l.l,c - l- ;r ~ for rectal av' . u.. . bL. of the drug can be
prepared by mixing the drug with a suitable r----;- . ~ 'e excipient
such as cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols which are solid at
ordinary l~ " but liquid at the rectal t~lJ_.c.Lu-~ and will
15 therefore melt in the rectum and release the drug.
Solid dosage forms for or.l a l~ n may include
capsules, tablets, pills, powders, granules and gels. In such solid
dosage forms, the active c- . l-v .~1 may be admixed with at least one
inert diluent such as sucrose lactose or starch. Such dosage forms
~I may ..180 comprise, as in nor~nal practice, nfl,l;l: .Ql s-~he~qnfPc other
t~an inert diluents, e.g., 11.l.. ;. -':..~ agentg guch ag ~ '~L~ .F. ~....
stearate. In the case of capsules, tablets, and pills, the dosage forms
may aiso comprise buffering agents. Tablets and pills can a~ lly
be prepared with enteric coatings.
