BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
['WW1 Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, also known as carbonate dehydratases EC
4.2.1.1)
are ubiquitous metalloenzy.mes present in prokaryotes and eukaryotes that are
encoded by
four evolutionarily unrelated gene families. CAs catalyse a simple
physiological rea.etiori.
the conversion of CO2 to the bicarbonate ion and protons. The active site of
most CAs
contains a zinc ion (2n2+), which is essential for catalysis. The CA reaction
is involved
in many physiological and pathological processes, including respiration and
transport of
CO, and bicarbonate between metabolizing .tissues and lungs; pli and CO,
homeostasis;
electrolyte secretion in various tissues and organs; biosynthetic reactions
(such as
gluconeogenesis, lipogenesis and ureagenesis); bone resorption; calcification,
and
tumorigenieity,
j0004-1 Many of the CA isozymes involved in these processes are important
therapeutic
targets with the potential to be .inhibited to treat a range of disorders
.including oedema;
glaucoma.; obesity, cancer, epilepsy and osteoporosis. Two main classes of CA
inhibitors

[00331 When used with respect to a. pharmaceutical composition or other
material, the
term "sustained release" is art-recognized. For example, a subject composition
which
releases a substance over time may exhibit sustained release characteristics,
in contrast to
a bolus type administration in )xhich the entire amount of the substance is
made
biologically available at one time. For example, in particular embodiments,
upon contact
with body fluids including blood, spinal fluid, mucus secretions, lymph or the
like, one or
more of the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients inay undergo gradual or
delayed
degradation (e.g., through hydrolysis) with concomitant release of any
material
incorporated therein, e.g., an therapeutic andlor biologically active salt

and
6,103,275.
100851 in another embodiment, a transdemal patch may comprise: a. substrate
sheet
comprising a composite :film formed of a resin composifion comprising 100
parts by
eiti,ht of a polyvinyl chloride-polyurethane composite and 2-10 parts by
weight of a
styreneeethylene-butylene-styrene copolymer, a first adhesive layer on the one
side of the
composite film, and a polyalkyiene terephthalate film adhered to the one side
of the
composite film by means of the first adhesive layer, a primer layer which
coinprises a.
saturated polyester resin and is formed on the surface of the polyalkylene
terephthalate
-film; and a second adhe.sìe layer comprising a styrene-diene-styrene block
copolymer
containing a pharmaceutical agent layered on the primer layer. A method for
the
manufacture of the above-mentioned substrate sheet comprises preparing -the
above resin
composition molding the resin composition into a composite film by a calendar
process,
and then adhering a polyalkylene terephthalate filin on one side of the
composite film by
means of an adhesive layer thereby forming the substrate sheet, and forming a
primer
layer comprising a saturated -polyester resin on the outer surface of the
polyalkylene
terep hth al ate film

1.00861 Another type of patch comprises incorporating the drug directly in a
phannac eutical y acceptable adhesive and laminating the drug-containing
adhesive onto a
suitable backing member, eg. a polyester backing membrane. The drug should be
present
at a concentration which will not affect the adhesive properties, and at the
same time
deliver the required clinical dose.
100871 Transdermal patches may be passive or active. Passive transdermal drug
delivery systems currently available, such as the nicotine, estrogen and
nitroglycerine
patches, deliver small-molecule drugs. Many of the newly developed proteins
and peptide
drugs are too large to be delivered through passive transdermal patches and
may be
delivered using technology such as electrical assist( i on top hore si s) for
large-molecule
drugs.
10088j lontophoresis is a technique employed for enhancing the flux of ionized

substances through membranes by application of electric current. One example
of an
iontophoretic Membrane is given in U.S. Pat. No. 5,080,646 to Theeuwes. The
principal
mechanisms by which iontophoresis enhances molecular transport across the skin
are (a)
repelling a charged ion from an electrode of the same charge, (b)
electroosmosis, the
convective movement of solvent that occurs through a charged pore in response
the
preferential passage of counter-ions when an electric field is applied or (c)
increase skin
permeability due to application of electrical current.
10089] In some cases, it may be desirable to administer in the form of a kit,
it may
comprise a container for containing the separate compositions such as a
divided bottle or
a divided foil p a c ket, Typically the lit com ph se s di recti ohs for the
ad.ininistralion of the
separate components. 717he kit form is particularly advantageous -when the
separate
components are preferably administered in different dosage forms (e.g., oral
and
parent:era:I). are administered at different dosage intervals, or when
titration of the
individual components athe combination is desired by the prescribing
physician.
