Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of an extract from Gentiana lutea (yellow gentian) for the treatment of bacterial infections as well as an antimicrobial agent as claimed in claim 7.
  • Gentiana lutea is part of the applicant's fixed drug combination ® SINUPRET.
  • the herbal drug combination has been used in inflammation of the upper and lower respiratory tract for decades. The effectiveness of the drug has been proven in several controlled clinical trials.
  • Other active pharmaceutical ingredients of the above-mentioned fixed drug combination are Flores Primulae cum Calycibus, Herba Rumicis, Flores Sambuci and Herba Verbenae.
  • antibiotics In addition, it is generally known to treat infections in humans and animals using synthetic or semi-synthetic antibiotics.
  • the group of ⁇ -lactam antibiotics is known, which also includes penicillin and ampicillin. Due to their chemical nature and synthesis-related enantiomer mixtures, antibiotics of this type - in addition to increasing patient resistance to the application of chemical products - often have undesirable side effects.
  • the present invention relates in particular to the use of an extract of plant material from Gentiana lutea (yellow gentian) for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of bacterial infections, which are selected from the group consisting of: infections with: Gram-positive bacteria, in particular clostridia, streptococci, preferably Streptococcus pneumoniae; and Staphylococcus aureus, preferably methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, particularly preferably Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 11940.
  • the extract from Gentiana lutea can be used particularly advantageously for the treatment of infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract such as rhinosinusitis, in particular maxillary sinus and / or frontal sinusitis, and bronchitis.
  • An advantageous use of the present invention is based on the use of the extract from Gentiana lutea for the treatment of bacterial superinfections of primary diseases caused by viruses.
  • the present invention further relates to an antimicrobial agent which contains an extract of material from Gentiana lutea (yellow gentian).
  • the agent, in particular medicament is extracted by extracting plant material, in particular roots, using organic solvents, in particular polar solvents, preferably alcohols, particularly preferably ethanol, in particular mixtures of ethanol with water, preferably 50% by volume of ethanol; or produced using supercritical CO2, the extract being obtained in a temperature range from 31 ° C to 90 ° C and a pressure range from 75 to 500 bar and the separation in a temperature range from 10 ° C to 50 ° C and a pressure range from 1 bar up to 74 bar.

  • the agent can of course be produced in the usual galenical formulations, in particular coated tablets, tablets, drops of syrup, sprays, in particular nasal sprays, ointments, creams, but also as a preparation for injection.
  • the antibiotic agent based on Gentiana lutea has at least the antibiotic effectiveness of ampicillin when plating mucosal samples on blood agar plates against Streptococcus pneumoniae.
  • the extract from Gentiana lutea can be used, for example, orally in a dose of approximately 100 mg / kg to 1000 mg mg / kg, in particular approximately 200 mg / kg to 500 mg / kg, preferably approximately 300 mg / kg extract.
  • the antimicrobial effect of the preparation according to the invention from the root of Gentiana lutea was demonstrated in a study in whole animals.

  • FIG. 3 shows a bar graph which shows the loss of cilia in the nose and sinus mucosa after 8 days of application of an extract from Gentiana lutea against an untreated control;
  • FIG. 4 shows a bar graph which shows the measured secretion of the nasal and sinus mucosa after 8 days of application of dexamethasone and ampicillin against an untreated control;

Abstract

L'invention concerne l'utilisation d'un extrait de Gentiana lutea (gentiane jaune) comme médicament pour traiter des infections bactériennes. On a découvert que cet extrait présente un effet antimicrobien correspondant à celui de l'ampicilline. Ce nouveau médicament peut être produit dans toutes les formulations galéniques usuelles et il est tout particulièrement approprié pour traiter des infections des voies aériennes supérieures et inférieures, telles que les rhinosinusites et les bronchites.
