METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION ■• Field of the Invention " 5 The present invention is directed to the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis. More particularly, the present invention is directed to increasing the duration of action and the peak effect of conventional treatments, 10 so that treatment is more convenient and effective. It has been discovered that administering a calcium channel blocker with the standard beta-adrenergic agonist will result in greater bronchodilation and an increased acting time in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary 15 diseases.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A safe, effective treatment for patients suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as asthma and chronic bronchitis currently is the oral or 20 aerosol administration of a beta-adrenergic agonist. Unfortunately, the beneficial effect of this treatment wears off in about four hours, thus requiring the incon¬ venience of four to six treatments per day. It would be advantageous if three or fewer treatments were required 25 and nighttime coverage against potential bronchospasm would be ensured.
The effect of calcium channel blockers such as Verapamil and Nifedipine has been considered for treating allergen and antigen-induced bronchoconstric- 30 tions. However, calcium channel blockers have not been considered as possible agents for increasing the duration of action and peak effectiveness in reducing ? bronchoconstriction for beta-adrenergic agonists.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 35 It is an object of this invention to increase the magnitude of bronchodilation and effective treatment time of conventional beta-agonist treatments for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
It is a further object of this invention to improve the effectiveness of such conventional treatments in a manner that is simple and easy to administer to patients.
The above objects and others are obtained by administering a calcium channel blocker with a beta- adrenergic agonist to a person suffering from a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The use of the calcium channel blocker can as much as double the effective treatment time of the beta-agonist, thus reducing the number of daily dosages required and providing nighttime coverage. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
It has been discovered that a calcium channel blocker can be used to enhance the bronchodilation to increase the effective treating time of beta-agonists, presently used in treating chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. It is believed that the increased effective¬ ness of the beta-adrenergic agonist is caused by the calcium channel blocker preventing reversal of the calcium depletion initiated by the beta-agonist. However, this is only a proposed theory, and the present invention is not limited to this particular theory.
The calcium channel blocker may be administered concurrently with a beta-adrenergic agonist, using the same administration route as the beta-adrenergic agonist, i.e. aerosol, oral, parenteral, etc. The amount of beta-adrenergic agonist administered at a given time is not changed from the levels presently known. However, the frequency of the administration may be decreased. It has been discovered that the calcium channel blocker doubles the effective treatment time of the beta-adrenergic agonist. Of course, it also would be possible to lower the dosage of beta-adrenergic agonist if, for some reason, more frequent adminis¬ tration is desired. For any given dosage of beta-adrenergic agonist, the calcium channel blocker increases the effective treatment time. 5 Any calcium channel blocker suitable for adminis¬ tration via the treatment routes mentioned heretofore is useful in the present invention. Two representative calcium channel blockers are Verapamil and Gallopamil. Nifedipine is an example of a calcium channel blocker
10 which may not be useful for some methods of treatment. Since Nifedipine is inactivated by light, use of this compound in aerosol applications may be difficult.
As noted previously, any of the known beta- adrenergic agonists presently used in broncho-dilator
15 constriction therapy are useful in this invention. Examples of such beta-adrenergic agonists include Albuterol (Ventolin) , Isoetharine, Metaproterenol, and Isoproterenol. Aerosol administration is preferred, although other forms of administration, such as oral or
20 parenteral administration, would be useful also. Aerosol administration may be through use of a metered dose inhaler, such as is commonly used in this type of therapy at present. A preferred method for aerosol administration is use of a metered dose inhaler with the
25 inhaling device disclosed in Sackner et al. U.S. Patent
4,484,577, the disclosure of which is incorporated
. herein by reference. Simultaneous administration of the beta-adrenergic agonist and calcium channel blocker is preferred. However, the calcium channel blocker could
30 be administered a short time, e.g. within about an hour, after administration of the beta-adrenergic agonist.
The amount of calcium channel blocker in a given § dosage depends to some extent upon the method of admin¬ istration. For example, when a one-percent by weight
35 solution of Verapamil in saline is to be delivered by nebulization, the amount of solution in a given dosage is chosen to provide about 10 to 20 milligrams of Verapamil. This has been found to provide an effective dose of about one-half milligram to the lungs. However, aerosol delivery using a metered dose inhaler and Freon results in a much greater amount of the active ingredient reaching the lungs. Thus, one-half to one milligram of Verapamil delivered in this fashion would be necessary to achieve the same effect as the 10-20 milligrams delivered via the nebulized saline solution. Dosages of other calcium channel blockers will depend upon their potency. For example, Gallopamil is more potent than Verapamil, so that a 5 or 10 milligram dose could be delivered via nebulized saline solution, preferably about J-1% by weight. 8 milligrams of Gallopamil in 2ml of saline (0.4%) solution is as effec- tive as 20 milligrams of Verapamil. Both Gallopamil and Verapamil prolong the effective bronchodilation of Ventolin to up to 10-11 hours. Also, the magnitude of Ventolin-induced bronchodilation is enhanced by both Gallopamil and Verapamil. Therapeutic compositions according to the present invention comprise a beta-adrenergic agonist in an amount sufficient to relieve broncho constriction and a calcium channel blocker in an amount effective to increase the effective treating time provided by the beta-agonist. Depending on the dosage form, suitable carriers, adjuvants and diluents also may be present in the composition of the present invention. For example, an oral dosage form could include known polymer matrix - forming compounds and suitable lubricants and tableting ingredients. Particles of given ingredients could be coated and provided in the form of capsules. Pulmonary introduction through an aerosol form can be accomplished using appropriate saline solutions, with known solubilizers if necessary for the specific active ingre- dient. The active ingredients alternatively could be dispersed in a carrier such as Freon. The following example is provided to further illustrate the present invention.
A patient suffering from severe asthma is treated by administration of a total of 180 micrograms of Ventolin in two "puffs" through a metered dose inhaler connected to an inhaling device according to U.S. Patent 4,484,577. Measurements of Forced Expired Volume in One Second (FEV..) are taken immediately after administration and at one-half hour intervals thereafter. The bronchodilation effect (change in FEV..) is shown in Figure 1. Significant bronchodilation effects last for about 5 hours.
The effect is measured for similar administration of Ventolin, followed immediately by administration of 20 milligrams of Verapamil or 8 milligrams of Gallopamil via a nebulized saline (0.4%) solution containing 1% by weight of the active ingredient. The results are shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that the effective time of treatment is extended to 10-11 hours. The peak is increased to 790 ml (Ventolin plus Verapamil) or 1000 ml (Gallopamil plus Ventolin) over the 720 ml from Ventolin alone. The two runs with the calcium channel blockers also show a more gradual decline from the point of peak effectiveness, and a prolonged period near the point of peak effectiveness.
