Description

USO DE PRODUTOS DE PAULLINIA CUPANA NA PREVENÇÃO OU TRATAMENTO  USE OF PAULLINIA CUPANA PRODUCTS IN PREVENTION OR TREATMENT

DE FOGACHO  FOGACHO

Campo da Invenção Field of the Invention

A presente invenção refere-se ao uso de produtos de Paullinia cupana na preparação de medicamentos para prevenção ou tratamento de fogachos, particularmente relacionados aos cânceres e à menopausa. Também é objeto da presente invenção medicamentos contendo o mesmo e método para tratar fogacho.  The present invention relates to the use of Paullinia cupana products in the preparation of medicaments for the prevention or treatment of hot flushes, particularly related to cancers and menopause. Also subject to the present invention are medicines containing the same and method for treating hot flushes.

Fundamentos da Invenção  Background of the Invention

Fogachos, ou ondas de calor, são definidos como períodos transitórios de intenso calor, na parte superior do corpo, braços e face, frequentemente acompanhados de enrubescimento, vasodilatação, sudorese, ansiedade, irritabilidade, insónia, depressão, alteração de concentração e aumento da frequência cardíaca.  Hot flashes, or hot flashes, are defined as transient periods of intense heat in the upper body, arms and face, often accompanied by flushing, vasodilation, sweating, anxiety, irritability, insomnia, depression, change in concentration and increased frequency. heart

Os fogachos são comuns em pacientes com câncer de mama, afetando cerca de dois terços deles, podendo contribuir para o agravamento de outras ocorrências indesejadas como fadiga, depressão, ansiedade, sono e qualidade de vida. Acomete também um percentual elevado (mais de 50%) das mulheres no período de transição para a menopausa.  Hot flushes are common in breast cancer patients, affecting about two thirds of them, and may contribute to the aggravation of other unwanted occurrences such as fatigue, depression, anxiety, sleep and quality of life. It also affects a high percentage (over 50%) of women in the transition period to menopause.

A intensidade, duração e persistência variam entre pacientes e parecem ser influenciadas por alteração emocional, como ansiedade ou estresse, doenças sistémicas, distúrbios neurológicos, ingestão de alimentos e bebida, em especial álcool e drogas, entre outros.  Intensity, duration and persistence vary among patients and seem to be influenced by emotional changes such as anxiety or stress, systemic diseases, neurological disorders, food and drink intake, especially alcohol and drugs, among others.

Apesar de acometer um número grande de mulheres, em diversas etapas da vida, poucos estudos investigaram sua etiologia e fatores predisponentes. Já foram apontadas, como possíveis fatores etiológicos, as alterações no centro termorregulador e nos níveis hormonais. Como fatores predisponentes foram estudados, além dos níveis hormonais, raça, índice de massa corporal, tabagismo, laqueadura tubária e menopausa cirúrgica. Despite affecting a large number of women at various stages of life, few studies have investigated their etiology and predisposing factors. As possible etiological factors, changes in the thermoregulatory center and hormone levels have already been pointed out. As factors Predisposing factors were studied in addition to hormonal levels, race, body mass index, smoking, tubal ligation and surgical menopause.

Seu diagnóstico também limitado, sendo resultado de estudo do histórico de saúde do paciente e de sua descrição sobre os calores.  Its diagnosis is also limited, resulting from a study of the patient's health history and his description of the heat.

Por essas razões, atualmente, o tratamento dos fogachos também é bastante restrito, sendo utilizados hormônios (estrogênios , progestagênios ) , clonidina, veralipride, antidepressivos (fluoxetina, paroxetina, venlafaxina) , vitamina E e/ou isoflavona de soja. Vale mencionar que mulheres portadoras de câncer de mama com fogachos não podem receber reposição hormonal para seu tratamento e que várias das medicações supramencionadas podem ainda interferir com medicações prescritas para o tratamento do câncer de mama como, por exemplo, o Tamoxifeno .  For these reasons, currently, the treatment of hot flushes is also very restricted, using hormones (estrogens, progestogens), clonidine, veralipride, antidepressants (fluoxetine, paroxetine, venlafaxine), vitamin E and / or soy isoflavone. It is worth mentioning that women with hot flashes of breast cancer cannot receive hormone replacement for their treatment and that several of the above mentioned medications may still interfere with prescribed breast cancer medications such as Tamoxifen.

Assim, embora algumas poucas as formas de controle de fogacho estejam atualmente disponíveis, seu manejo ainda representa um desafio, persistindo a necessidade de uma alternativa efetiva em sua prevenção e tratamento.  Thus, although a few forms of control of hot flushes are currently available, their management is still a challenge, and the need for an effective alternative for prevention and treatment persists.

EXEMPLO 1  EXAMPLE 1

TESTE DE EFICÁCIA COM PÓ DE GUARANÁ  GUARANÁ POWDER EFFICIENCY TEST

O estudo foi realizado em mulheres com câncer de mama pelo menos três meses após terminar cirurgia, radiação e quimioterapia, com pelo menos quatorze fogachos por semana durante pelo menos um mês antes da inclusão. Foram excluídas as pacientes que receberam reposição hormonal. Foi permitida a participação de doentes que receberam estrogênio à base de cremes vaginais ou antidepressivos prescritos para pelo menos um mês anterior à inclusão. As pacientes receberam 50 mg de pó de guaraná, duas vezes por dia, durante seis semanas após o inicio de uma semana, sem tratamento. Foi avaliada a frequência dos fogachos e sua gravidade. As pacientes classificaram suas próprias reações de toxicidade semanalmente. Utilizou-se a fase II de design Simon em que nove em cada quinze pacientes seria necessário ter, pelo menos, uma redução de 50% na sua pontuação de gravidade da insuficiência cardíaca, a fim de continuar o estudo. The study was conducted on women with breast cancer at least three months after surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, with at least fourteen hot flushes a week for at least one month before inclusion. Patients who received hormone replacement were excluded. Patients who were given estrogen-based vaginal creams or antidepressants prescribed for one month prior to inclusion. The patients received 50 mg of guarana powder twice a day for six weeks after the start of one week without treatment. The frequency of hot flushes and their severity were evaluated. The patients rated their own toxicity reactions weekly. Design phase II Simon was used in which nine out of every fifteen patients would need to have at least a 50% reduction in their heart failure severity score in order to continue the study.

RESULTADOS  RESULTS

Foram incluídas no estudo 24 mulheres pós- menopausadas , que tiveram câncer, com queixas de fogachos. Apenas quinze completaram as seis semanas do estudo. Dez das quinze pacientes tiveram uma redução de mais de 50% em seu escore de gravidade. Ao longo das seis semanas de tratamento observou-se uma diminuição estatisticamente significativa no número de fogachos (p = 0.0033) e escores de gravidade (p =0.0039). Em comparação com a semana 0, os pacientes relataram agravamento da anorexia (1), a insónia (1), náusea (1) , fadiga (1), transpiração (1), constipação (1), ansiedade (1), alteração do humor (1) e dor de cabeça (1). Nenhuma destas toxicidades justificou a interrupção do estudo .  Twenty-four postmenopausal women who had cancer with complaints of hot flushes were included in the study. Only fifteen completed the six weeks of the study. Ten of the fifteen patients had a more than 50% reduction in their severity score. Over the six weeks of treatment there was a statistically significant decrease in the number of hot flushes (p = 0.0033) and severity scores (p = 0.0039). Compared to week 0, patients reported worsening anorexia (1), insomnia (1), nausea (1), fatigue (1), sweating (1), constipation (1), anxiety (1), mood (1) and headache (1). None of these toxicities warranted discontinuation of the study.

Portanto, observa-se que o uso de produto de Paullinia cupana é eficaz no controle de fogacho, com toxicidade aceitável.  Therefore, it is observed that the use of Paullinia cupana product is effective in controlling hot flushes with acceptable toxicity.
