Abstract

A method for the treatment of a human patient having a condition susceptible to treatment with methylphenidate, and wherein the patient exhibits or is susceptible to hepatic dysfunction, comprises the administration of d-threo-methylphenidate.

Description

THERAPEUTIC USE OF d-threo-METHYLPHENIDATE Field of the Invention
This invention relates to new therapeutic uses of d-threo-methylphenidate (abbreviated herein as dtmp) . Background of zhe Invention
Methylphenidate is a known drug. It is used primarily to treat hyperactive children. It may have to be administered over a prolonged period of time, and is a controlled substance. Methylphenidate is a chiral molecule. The properties of the enantiomers have been investigated to some extent, although the drug is still administered as the racemate. It is generaly thought that dtmp is the active material, and that its antipode (ltmp) is metabolised more rapidly. Methylphenidate is often administered in a sustained- release formulation. For example, a coated tablet comprising racemic methylphenidate is administered, with a view to maintaining a therapeutically-effective level of the drug. This formulation does not always provide a reproducible or a sustained effect.
Roberts et al , Life Sci..55:269-281 (1994), found that racemic methylphenidate caused hepatic dysfunction in the mouse, manifest as elevated liver enzyme levels and/or coagulative necrosis, on morphological investigation of the liver. Also, the National Toxicity Programme (NTP TR439) of the USA recently (1995) found that racemic methylphenidate caused, in the mouse, hepatocellular and centri-lobular hypertrophy, formation of foci of damaged cells and hepatic tumours. Mehta et al , J. Clin. Gastroenterol. j5:149-151 (1984), report hepatic dysfunction due to intravenous abuse of methylphenidate hydrochloride. Goodman, New York State Journal of Medicine 21:2339-40 (15 September 1972) , reports hepatoxicity due to methylphenidate hydrochloride. Stecyk et al. Annals of Emergency Medicine 14.:597/113-599/115 (6 June 1985) , report multiple organ failure resulting from intravenous abuse of methylphenidate hydrochloride. Summary of the Invention
This invention is based on the discovery that dtmp can satisfactorily be used to treat human patients exhibiting or susceptible to hepatic dysfunction, or to reduce the likelihood of such symptoms occurring. dtmp may also oe used instead of the racemate in therapy involving the use of other drugs that have effects likely to be exacerbated by use of the racemate. Such effects may include hepatic dysfunction. The patient may be an adult, e.g. in the treatment of compulsive shopping disorder or narcolepsy, or a child, e.g. a pre-pubertal child suffering from attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (which, for the purposes of this specification, includes attention-deficit disorder) . The discovery is based on the finding that, in an animal model, dtmp is surprisingly less hepatotoxic than racemic methylphenidate. Description of the Invention
The dtmp that is used in this invention is substantially free of ltmp, e.g. in an enantiomeric excess (ee) of at least 70%, preferably at least 90%, and more preferably at least 95%. The dtmp may be substantially enantiopure. It may be used in the form of any suitable salt, e.g. the hydrochloride. The dtmp may be administered by the same means as is known for racemic methylphenidate, in a sustained-release formulation, e.g. a coated tablet. It may be administered in any other conventional sustained-release formulation, via any suitable route of administration. Conventional dosing parameters may be adopted, i.e. those which are known to or adapted to the practice of those skilled in the art. For example, the daily dosage of dtmp may be 5 to 60 mg, but will be chosen according to the age, weight and health of the subject, and other factors that are routinely considered by the man skilled in the art.
Other advantages of the use of dtmp may include the reduction of exposure to a controlled substance, reduced side-effects (which include anorexia, insomnia, stomach ache and headache) , reduced abuse potential, reduced C^, a reduced level of active material even when chewed, reduced patient variability, reduced interaction with ltmp or other drugs, and less variability between fed and fasted subjects.
By controlling the nature of the formulation, it is possible to control dissolution in vitro, and thus match or exceed the US National Formulary (NF) drug release profile for methylphenidate hydrochloride. Further, when administered to a healthy subject, a serum level of dtmp can be attained that is at least 50% of Cπ)ax, over a period of at least 8 hours, e.g. 8-16, 8-12 or 8-10 hours. Thus, for example, a shorter release period may be preferred or a different period before the serum level drops below a different proportion of CMX.
The serum level may be also controlled so that it remains high during the day, after taking a dosage in the morning, and is reduced in the evening, before it can have any undesirable effect on sleeping patterns.
A formulation of the invention may be a unit dosage such as a tablet, capsule or suspension. A sustained- release formulation may be in matrix, coating, reservoir, osmotic, ion-exchange or density exchange form. It may comprise a soluble polymer coating which is dissolved or eroded, after administration. Alternatively, there may be an insoluble coating, e.g. of a polymer, through which the active ingredient permeates, as from a reservoir, diffuses, e.g. through a porous matrix, or undergoes osmotic exchange. A further option for a sustained-release formulation involves density exchange, e.g. in the case where the formulation alters on administration, e.g. from microparticles to a gel, so that the active ingredient diffuses or permeates out. Ion-based resins may also be used, the active component being released by ionic exchange, and wherein the rate of release can be controlled by using cationic or anionic forms of the drug. It is preferred to use a formulation in this invention that is resistant to chewing, e.g. micronised particles that are individually coated and which do not immediately release the active component on chewing, or possibly even actively discourage chewing by their consistency. Many effects, benefits etc. described herein apply also to formulations providing immediate release. The various effects etc. may be due to the use of dtmp and/or the absence of ltmp. Various circumstances may cause hepatic dysfunction, or render a patient susceptible to such a problem. Such circumstances include the administration of a therapeutic agent in which liver dysfunction, is a side-effect, or the taking of drugs of abuse known to cause liver dysfunction, e.g. alcohol or ecstasy.
Hepatic dysfunction may be evident in terms of interference with enzyme function, or changes in the levels of certain enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , or in terms of gross alterations such as cirrhosis or cancer of the liver. Hepatic dysfunction can be determined by the skilled man, as may be susceptibility or predisposition to such dysfunction. Methylphenidate-Induced Hepatotoxitv in Mice
Experiments were carried out to investigate the differing toxicity effects of dtmp and racemic methylphenidate characterised by elevated liver enzyme levels and instances of coagulative necrosis in the liver. The procedures followed were as described in Roberts et al , supra. Groups of 21 male mice of the Crl:CD-l(ICR)BR strain were given a single intraperitoneal dose of the compounds in a saline solution with an injection volume of 10 ml/kg body weight. The animals were housed in groups of three in polypropylene cages with a steel mesh floor in a single, exclusive room, air conditioned to provide a minimum of 15 air changes/hour. Animal quarters were temperature and humidity controlled with a 12 hour light/dark cycle. Blood samples were obtained from all animals at 16 hours after dosing for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity. The results are tabulated below.
Livers were removed 24 hours after dosing and preserved in fixative of 10% neutral buffered formalin for histopathological examination. The livers were embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned at a nominal 5 μm, stained with haematoxylin and eosin, and examined using light microscopy. The results are tabulated below.
Figure imgf000007_0001
The results show that there is a marked beneficial effect of treatment with dtmp relative to treatment with racemic methylphenidate, in that plasma levels of the liver enzyme alanine aminotransferase were not increased. The histopathology data further support the finding that dtmp treatment has beneficial advantages over treatment with the racemate. Coagulant necrosis was detected in two animals out of 21 in the group receiving racemic methylphenidate, whereas there were no cases with dtmp. Thus, the results show a marked difference.
