Description: "Nitrogen and silver containing derivative" The invention relates to a new nitrogen and silver containing derivative with very specific pharmacological properties, such that this derivative thus in an advantageous manner can be applied as a medicine. It concerns more particularly compounds which at the same time combine an unusually long-lasting or strong local analgesic or local anaesthetic action with an extraordinary micro-organism killing activity, having few irritating or sensitizing properties and a small toxicity. Therefore, these compounds, according to the invention, are useful as local analgesic and anaesthetic agent, on the one hand, and as a disinfectant, on the other hand. When attending to open wounds a micro-organism killing property is important. On the other hand, many open wounds are very painful, in particular at the time of bandage renewal. The aim of the above mentioned invention is to develop a simple molecule, with little solubility in water, which slowly dissociates simultaneously to, on the one hand an active micro¬ organism killing ion (Ag+) and, on the other hand, an active local analgesic product. The nitrogen and silver containing derivative, according to the invention, is characterized in that it is formed by a compound in which a substituted or not substituted aliphatic or aromatic group is attached via a carbonyl group possibly followed by at least one carbon atom and/or aromatic or aliphatic ring, to an amino group or a heterocyclic nitrogen containing ring structure, with at least one silver atom being attached directly to at least one nitrogen atom, as well as the complexes of this derivative formed via the silver atom. Efficiently, the aromatic radical is attached via an amide or ester bond and possibly followed by one or two successive carbon atoms to a secondary or tertiary amino group or a hetero¬ cyclic nitrogen containing ring structure, with at least one silver atom being attached directly to at least one nitrogen atom, as well as the complexes of this derivative formed via the silver atom. In a particular embodiment of the invention the concerned derivative corresponds to the following general structure: 0 R 3 II / Ar - N - C - CH - N (I) or I H \ 2 Ag R 1 R wherein Ar represents an aromatic group, such as a substituted or 1 not substituted pheπyl or naphtyl group, R represents hydrogen or X. 3 a (C..-C.) alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group and R and R represent a (C.-C4) alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hexyl or tetra ethylene group, 1 2 3 the total number of carbon atoms in R , R and R being at least , as well as the complexes, more particularly di er, of this derivative formed via the silver atom. The invention relates also to a pharmaceutical product with as an active component a nitrogen and silver containing derivative, such as defined hereabove. Further the invention relates also to the use of this derivative for obtaining a micro-organism killing and analgesic medicine. Finally protection is claimed for a particular method for preparing the hereabove defined nitrogen and silver containing derivative, which is characterized in that a compound with general formula RR'HN is caused to react with AgNOg and NaOH to form a complex with following structure RR'N-Ag-Ag-NR'R, which precipitates and is separated from the remaining reaction products in dissolved state, with the meaning of R and R' being determined by the desired structure of the nitrogen and silver containing derivative to be prepared. Other details and advantages of the invention will become apparent in the description following hereafter in which a.o. examples are given of the preparation of some specific compounds according to the invention. This description is only provided as an illustration or clarification of the invention and hence does by no means limit the scope of it. In general the invention relates to a new nitrogen and silver containing derivative, which comprises complexes formed via the silver atom, as well as racemic mixtures, and in which a substituted or not substituted aliphatic or aromatic group is attached via a carbonyl group, possibly followed by at least one carbon atom and/or aromatic or aliphatic ring, to an amino group or a hetero¬ cyclic nitrogen containing ring structure, with at least one silver atom being attached directly to at least one nitrogen atom. It was found that compounds with such a structure usually show at the same time long-lasting and/or strong local anaesthetic action and an extraordinary micro-organism killing activity, having few irritating or sensitizing properties and a small acute toxicity. As mentioned already hereabove compounds are concerned here which are little soluble in water and dissociate slowly to at the same time, on the one hand, an active micro-organism killing Ag-ion and, on the other hand, an active local analgesic agent. Furthermore because of the low solubility a deposit of undissolved product is formed. This will dissolve gradually because of the fact that the dissolved and dissociated products are carried off. Dissolving and dissociating occur slowly. In such a way, in function of time and the product used, during a longer period a constant and continuous supply of micro-organims killing and analgesic agent is available (so-called "deposit" or "retard" effect) . This is of the utmost importance for the patient. It guarantees a safe and comfortable healing of an inflamed or not inflamed wound. An additional advantage of silver compounds in general and more particularly of the ones according to the invention is their limited stability in the presence of light and/or of other ions. Because of this the dissociation will go on more efficiently. Particularly in combination with Ce(N0--,) dissociation would be influenced positively without any disadvantageous effect on the toxicity. Amide compounds corresponding to this general formulation appeared to have interesting properties. In this respect it was e.g. found that they have very low sensitizing properties. Thus amide compounds corresponding to the following general structure are of importance: 0 R 3 n / Ar - N - C - CH - N (I) or I t \ 2 Ag R 1 R 0 Ag II / a Ar - N - C - CH - N (II) I '1 ^ 2 H R 1 R wherein Ar represents an aromatic group, such as a substituted or 1 not substituted phenyl or naphtyl group, R represents hydrogen or 2 3 a (C j - C.) alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl group and R and R represent a (C..-C,) alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hexyl or tetramethylene group 1 2 3 with the total number of carbon atoms in R , R and R being at least 4, as well as the complexes more particularly dinner, of this derivative formed via the silver atom. This concerns here a.o. following specific amide compounds: N-Ag articaine, N-Ag butaπilicaine, N-Ag tolicaine, N-Ag etidocaine and N-Ag lidocaine. Furthermore cyclic N-N-Ag acylxylidides appear also of importance for the application described hereabove. These correspond to the following general structure: 0 . CH- li j t-. 3 R4 _ C - N -/0) (V) Ag CH 3 c n H 2n+l N wherein R represents a or -CH -N group, in which n varies from 1 to 4, as well as the complexes of this derivative, particular¬ ly dimer, formed via the silver atom. The N-Ag bupivacaine is a.o. concerned here, the N-Ag-pyrrocaine and the N-Ag mepivacaine. Also N-Ag-ciπchocaine with the structure mentioned below has, for the application intended, interesting properties: 0C 4 H g (C 2 H 5 ) 2 NCH 2 - CH 2 - N - CO - GY Ag <£/ as well as the complexes, more particularly dimer, of this derivative formed via the silver atom. Another important group contains the ester compounds which correspond a.o. to one of the following basic structures: (III) or (IV) wherein Ar represents an aromatic group, such as a substituted or 3 not substituted phenyl or naphtyl group, R represents a (C..-C.) alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, hexyl or tetramethylene radical and k is 2 or 3, 1 varies from 2 to 6 and m varies between 0 and 4, as well as the complexes of the derivative, particularly dimer, formed via the silver atom. Examples of such compounds are N-Ag-hexylcaine, N-Ag benzocaine, N-Ag-butylamino-benzoate, N-Ag-butacaine, N-Ag oxy- buprocaine and N-Ag-procaine. The amide compounds can be prepared according to the following reaction plan: 2 RR'NH + 2 AgN0 3 + 2 NaOH → RR'N-Ag-Ag-NR'R + 2 Na 0 3 + 2 H 2 0 The silver compound precipitates, can be removed by filtration and purified if necessary. The racemic compounds can be separated in a well-known manner (with use of optically active tartaric acid) . The nitrogen and silver containing derivative, according to the invention, can be administered in several different ways. Parenteral solutions can be administered peridurally by infiltrat¬ ion, subarachπoidally, intra-arterially or intravenously. Gels, ointments, sprays or dusting powders which can be composed of the base or a pharmaceutically tolerable salt thereof, can be applied locally on the mucosa or on an injured or not injured open or grazed skin. Depending on the product used concentrations of 0,05 to 100% (i.e. as dusting powder) can be used. Limitations will occur depending on the product used. Thus N-Ag lidocaine can safely be administered to adults locally up to 2.5 g a time. For N-Ag tetracaine this limit is 1 g.
