COMBINATION THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF PSYCHOSES
The present invention belongs to the fields of
pharmacology, medicine, and medicinal chemistry, and
provides methods and compositions for the treatment of a
disorders, including psychoses.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Psychoses are serious mental illnesses characterized by
defective reality or lost contact with reality. Psychotic
patients may suffer hallucinations, delusions, and grossly
disorganized behavior as part of their disease. Psychoses
exact a tremendous emotional and economic toll on the
patients, their families, and society as a whole. For
example, it has been estimated that as many as 50% of the
homeless people living in the United States are psychotic.
(Bachrach, Treating the Homeless Mentally Ill, Washington;
D.C., American Psychiatric Press, 1340, Lamb et al. ed.
(1992)). In addition, approximately 2.50 of the total
dollars spent for health care in the United States is spent
in the treatment of psychoses (Rupp et al., Psychiatric
Clin. North Am., 16:413-423 (1993)).
Several classes of compounds are useful for treating
psychotic disorders. The drugs available for such conditions
are often associated with undesirable side effects.
Furthermore, many patients do not respond or only partially ,;
respond to present drug treatment, and estimates of such
partial-responders and non-responders vary between 40% and
800 of those treated. Thus, further methods of treating
psychoses are highly desirable.
The present invention addresses these needs by
providing a method of treating psychosis, and other
disorders as described herein, by the synergistic effect of
combination therapy of a typical or atypical antipsychotic
and a muscarinic agonist.

SZTMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The invention provides a method for treating a patient
suffering from or susceptible to psychosis, comprising
administering to the patient an effective amount a first
component which is a typical antipsychotic or an atypical
antipsychotic and an effective amount of a second component
which is a muscarinic agonist.
The invention also provides a pharmaceutical
composition which comprises a first component which is a
typical antipsychotic or an atypical antipsychotic, and a
second component which is a muscarinic agonist.
That is, the present invention provides the use of a
pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of
a first component which is a typical antipsychotic or an
atypical antipsychotic, in combination with an effective
amount of a second component which is a muscarinic agonist
for treating psychosis.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
20~ The present invention provides for treatment for
patients suffering from psychosis comprising the
administration of a typical antipsychotic or an atypical
antipsychotic and a muscarinic agonist. It has been
discovered that the administration of a typical
antipsychotic or an atypical antipsychotic and a muscarinic
agonist unexpectedly enhances the therapeutic effect of the
combination. That is, the combined administration of a
typical antipsychotic or an atypical antipsychotic and a
muscarinic agonist provides a synergistic effect. Thus, the
combination therapy of the present invention provides an
effective treatment of psychoses with lessened side effects
and of broader applicability than each of the individual
components alone.
Within the context of the present invention, the term
"psychosis" includes schizophrenia, schizophreniform
diseases, mania, schizoaffective disorders, and depression
with psychotic features. The above mentioned conditions

represent multiple disease states. For example,
schizophrenia is referred to in various forms as catatonic,
disorganized, paranoid, undifferential, residual, among
others. All the various forms of the disorders mentioned
herein are contemplated as part of the present invention.
The following list further illustrates a number of
these disease states, many of which are classified in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th
Edition, published by the American Psychiatric Association
(DSM IV): Paranoid Type Schizophrenia, Disorganized Type
Schizophrenia, Catatonic Type Schizophrenia,
Undifferentiated Type Schizophrenia, Residual Type
Schizophrenia, Schizophreniform Disorder, Schizoaffective
Disorder, Delusional Disorder, Brief Psychotic Disorder,
Shared Psychotic Disorder, Psychotic Disorder Due to a
General Medical Condition, Substance-Induced Psychotic
Disorder, Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified, Major
Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, Bipolar
Disorder I, Bipolar Disorder II, Bipolar Disorder Not
Otherwise Specified, Schizoid Personality Disorder, and
Schitzotypal Personality. Disorder.
In addition, other disorders that are treated by the
present combination include, dementia, including Alzheimer's
disease, mood disorders, including depression, anxiety
disorders, including general anxiety disorder and panic
disorder, adjustment disorders, decreased cognition.
All of these disorders are readily diagnosed by the
skilled clinician using well established criteria, including
those in the DSM IV. In particular, a patient suffering
from or susceptible to psychosis can be readily diagnosed
using the methods described in the DSM-IV and other criteria
known in the art.
As will be appreciated by the skilled person, there are
alternative nomenclatures, nosologies, and classification
systems for the psychoses described herein and that these
systems evolve with medical scientific progress. Applicants

chimpanzees, monkeys, apes, and humans, etc. In particular
the term includes a human suffering from psychosis.
The term "effective amount of a first component" and
"an effective amount a second component" refers to the
amounts of typical antipsychotic or an atypical
antipsychotic and amounts of a muscarinic agonist,
respectively, which, upon single or multiple administration
to the patient, is synergistically effective in alleviating
or controlling the disorders described herein, and in
particular psychosis.
An effective amount of a first component and an
effective amount of a second component can be readily
determined by the attending diagnostician, as one skilled in
the art, by the use of conventional techniques and by
observing results.. In determining an effective amount of
the first and second components a number of factors are
considered by the attending diagnostician, including, but
not limited to: the properties of the individual components,

When the present invention is regarded in its broadest
sense, the first component is either a typical or an
atypical antipsychotic. Similarly, when the invention is
regarded in its broadest sense, the second component
compound is a compound which functions as a muscarinic
agonist. It will be understood that while the use of a
single typical antipsychotic or a single atypical
antipsychotic as a first component compound is preferred,
combinations of two or more antipsychotic may be used as a
first component if necessary or desired. Similarly, while,
the use of a single muscarinic agonist as a second component
compound is preferred, combinations of two or more
muscarinic agonists~may be used as a second component if
necessary or desired.
While all combinations of first and second component
compounds are useful and valuable, certain combinations are
particularly valued and are preferred. In general,
combinations and methods of treatment using an atypical
antipsychotic as the first component are preferred.
Particularly preferred combinations and methods of treatment
using olanzapine as the first component are preferred.
Furthermore, combinations and methods of treatment using
xanomeline as the second component are preferred. Especially
preferred are combinations and methods use olanzapine as the
first component and xanomeline as the second component. It
is especially preferred that when the first component is
olanzapine, it will be the Form II olanzapine polymorph.as
described in U.S. Patent No. 5,229,382. Form II olanzapine
is characterized by x-ray powder diffraction pattern, of a
well prepared sample, having an interplanar spacing at


CA 02411386 2002-11-29
WO 02/03684 PCT/USO1/14863

10.2689. The x-ray diffraction pattern of Form II
olanzapine can be obtained using a Siemens D5000 x-ray
powder diffractometer having a copper Ka radiation source of
wavelength, ~,=1-541A.
It is further preferred that the Form II olanzapine
polymorph will be administered as the substantially pure
Form II olanzapine polymorph. As used herein "substantially
pure" refers to Form II associated with less than about 50
Form I, preferably less than about 2% Form I, and more
preferably less than about 1% Form I. Further,
"substantially pure" Form II will contain less than about
0.5o related substances, wherein "related substances" refers
to undesired chemical impurities or residual solvent or
water. In particular, "substantially pure" Form II should
contain less than about 0.05% content of acetonitrile, more
preferably, less than about 0.005% content of acetonitrile.
Additionally, the polymorph of the invention should contain
less than 0.50 of associated water.
Though Form II olanzapine is preferred it will be

According to the present invention the combination is
usually administered in the form of pharmaceutical
compositions. The adjunctive therapy of the present
invention is carried out by administering a first component
together with the second component in any manner which
provides effective levels of the compounds in the body at
the same time. Oral administration of the adjunctive
combination is preferred. They may be administered
together, in a single dosage form, or may be administered
separately.
Oral administration is not the only route or even the
only preferred route. For example, transdermal
administration may be very desirable for patients who are
forgetful or petulant about taking oral medicine. One of
the drugs may be administered by one route, such as oral,
and the others may be administered by the transdermal,
percutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intranasal or


CA 02411386 2002-11-29
WO 02/03684 PCT/USO1/14863
-27-
intrarectal route, in particular circumstances. The route
of administration may be varied in any way, limited by the
physical properties of the drugs and the convenience of the
patient and the caregiver.
The adjunctive combination may be administered as a
single pharmaceutical composition, and so pharmaceutical
compositions incorporating both compounds are important
embodiments of the present invention. Such compositions may
take any physical form which is pharmaceutically acceptable,
but orally usable pharmaceutical compositions are
particularly preferred. Such adjunctive pharmaceutical
compositions contain an effective amount of each of the
compounds, which effective amount is related to the daily
dose of the compounds to be administered. Each adjunctive
dosage unit may contain the daily doses of all compounds, or
may contain a fraction of the daily doses, such as one-third
or one-half of the doses. Alternatively, each dosage unit
may contain the entire dose of one of the compounds, and a
fraction of the dose of the other compounds. In such case,
the patient would daily take one of the combination dosage
units, and one or more units containing only the other
compounds. The amounts of each drug to be contained in each
dosage unit depends on the identity of the drugs chosen for
the therapy, and other factors such as the indication for
which the adjunctive therapy is being given.
The inert ingredients and manner of formulation of the
adjunctive pharmaceutical compositions are conventional,
except for the presence of the combination of the present
invention. The usual methods of formulation used in
pharmaceutical science may be used here. All of the usual
types of compositions may be used, including tablets,
chewable tablets, capsules, solutions, parenteral solutions,
intranasal sprays or powders, troches, suppositories,
transdermal patches and suspensions. In general,
compositions contain from about 0.5% to about 500 of the
compounds in total, depending on the desired doses and the
type of composition to be used. The amount of the


CA 02411386 2002-11-29
WO 02/03684 PCT/USO1/14863
-28-
compounds, however, is best defined as the effective amount,
that is, the amount of each compound which provides the
desired dose to the patient in need of such treatment. The
activity of the adjunctive combinations do not depend on the
nature of the composition, so the compositions are chosen
and formulated solely for convenience and economy. Any of
the combinations may be formulated in any desired form of
composition. Some discussion of different compositions will
be provided, followed by some typical formulations.
Capsules are prepared by mixing the compound with a
suitable diluent and filling the proper amount of the
mixture in capsules. The usual diluents include inert
powdered substances such as starch of many different kinds,
powdered cellulose, especially crystalline and
microcrystalline cellulose, sugars such as fructose,
mannitol and sucrose, grain flours and similar edible
powders.
Tablets are prepared by direct compression, by wet
granulation, or by dry granulation. Their formulations
usually incorporate diluents, binders, lubricants and
disintegrators as well as the compound. Typical diluents
include, for example, various types of starch, lactose,
mannitol, kaolin, calcium phosphate or sulfate, inorganic
salts such as sodium chloride and powdered sugar. Powdered
cellulose derivatives are also useful. Typical tablet
binders are substances such as starch, gelatin and sugars
such as lactose, fructose, glucose and the like. Natural
and synthetic gums are also convenient, including acacia,
alginates, methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone and the
like. Polyethylene glycol, ethylcellulose and waxes can
also serve as binders.
A lubricant is necessary in a tablet formulation to
prevent the tablet and punches from sticking in the die.
The lubricant is chosen from such slippery solids as talc,
magnesium and calcium stearate, stearic acid and
hydrogenated vegetable oils.


CA 02411386 2002-11-29
WO 02/03684 PCT/USO1/14863
-29-
Tablet disintegrators are substances which swell when
wetted to break up the tablet and release the compound.
They include starches, clays, celluloses, algins and gums.
More particularly, corn and potato starches,
methylcellulose, agar, bentonite, wood cellulose, powdered
natural sponge, ration-exchange resins, alginic acid, guar
gum, citrus pulp and carboxymethylcellulose, for example,
may be used, as well as sodium lauryl sulfate.
Tablets are often coated with sugar as a flavor and
sealant. The compounds may also be formulated as chewable
tablets, by using large.amounts of pleasant-tasting
substances such as mannitol in the formulation, as is now
well-established practice. Instantly dissolving tablet-like
formulations are also now frequently used to assure that the
patient consumes the dosage form, and to avoid the
difficulty in swallowing solid objects that bothers some
patients.
When it is desired to administer the combination as a
suppository, the usual bases may be used. Cocoa butter is a
20- traditional suppository base, which may be modified by
addition of waxes to raise its melting point slightly.
Water-miscible suppository bases comprising, particularly,
polyethylene glycols of various molecular weights are in
wide use, also.
Transdermal patches have become popular recently.
Typically they comprise a resinous composition in which the
drugs will dissolve, or partially dissolve, which is held in
contact with the skin by a film which protects the
composition. Many patents have appeared in the field
recently. Other, more complicated patch compositions are
also in use, particularly those having a membrane pierced
with innumerable pores through which the drugs are pumped by
osmotic action. Transdermal formulations for administration
of xanomeline are described in US Patent No. 5,980,933.
The following typical formula are provided for the
interest and information of the pharmaceutical scientist.

Conditioned Avoidance Behavior in Rats:
In a conditioned avoidance test, animals learn to
respond during a conditioned stimulus in order to avoid mild
shock presentation. A response during the conditioned
stimulus is termed an avoidance response, a response during
shock is termed an escape response; a response failure is
when the animal fails to respond during either the
conditioned stimulus or the shock presentation and is
indicative of motor impairment. Animals rapidly learn to
avoid 99% of the time. Antipsychotic drugs decrease the
percentage of avoidance responses without interfering with
the ability of the animal to respond since the animals do
emit escape responses. The percentage of response failures


CA 02411386 2002-11-29
WO 02/03684 PCT/USO1/14863
-31-
is considered a measure of motor impairment.
Procedure:
Rats were required to press a response lever in an
experimental chamber in order to avoid or escape foot-shock.
Each experimental session consisted of 50 trials. During
each trial, the chamber was illuminated and a tone presented
for a maximum of 10 sec. A response during the tone
immediately terminated the tone and the houselight, ending
the trial. In the absence of a response during the tone
alone, tone+foot-shock (2.0 mA) was presented for a maximum
of 10 sec. A response during shock presentation immediately
terminated the shock, the tone and the houselight, ending
the trial.
The synergistic effects of the present combinations
can be demonstrated by administering an inactive or
relatively inactive dose of one component (such as the
selected muscarinic agonist) and various doses of the
other component. If the effects are simply additive the,
results will be additive. If the effects of are
synergistic, then the dose of second component required
to produce full efficacy will be decreased. In
particular, if the dose of both components are inactive
when administered alone, but produce full efficacy when
given in combination, then the combination is
synergistic.
Results for representative combinations of the
present invention are given in the table below.
