Description: COMBINATIONS, HAVING IMMUNOSUPPRESSIVE EFFECTS, CONTAINING A CYCLOOXYGENASE-2 INHIBITOR AND A LEUKOTRIENE A4 HYDROLASE INHIBITOR 5 FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention is in the field of clinical iiπmunology and relates to compositions having iiπmunosuppressive properties. Of particular interest is 10 a method of reducing recipient acute or chronic rejection of transplanted cells or organs, and for treatment of autoimmune diseases, hypersensitivity reactions of the acute or delayed type, allergic disorders, granulomas, meningitis, and septic shock by 15 administering a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and a leukotriene A4 hydrolase (LTA4 hydrolase) inhibitor. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 20 Successful organ transplantation requires effective physiological and pharmacological intervention of the immune system of an organ recipient. Immunologic mechanisms are universal within the human species, but histoco patibility variations between organ donor and 25 recipient may lead to rejection of donor tissue by stimulation of the recipient's immune system, except perhaps, in donor-recipient pairing of the monozygotic type. One approach to intervention of immune response in an organ transplant recipient, especially a recipient 30 targeted for an allogenic graft, is by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. These drugs are used to prolong survival of transplanted organs in recipients in cases involving, for example, transplants of .kidney, liver, heart, lung, bone marrow and pancreas. 35 There are several types of immunosuppressive drugs available for use in reducing organ rejection in transplantation. Such drugs fall within three major classes, namely: antiproliferative agents, antiinflammatory-acting compounds and inhibitors of lymphocyte activation. Examples of the class of cytotoxic or antiproliferative agents are azathioprine, cyclophosphamide and methotrexate. The compound azathioprine acts by interrupting DNA synthesis through inhibition of purine metabolism. The compound cyclophosphamide is an alkylating agent which interferes with enzyme actions and cell proliferation and interrupts DNA synthesis by binding to cellular DNA, RNA, and proteins. The compound methotrexate is a folic acid antagonist which interferes with nucleotide and protein synthesis. Drugs of the antiproliferative class may be effective i munosuppressives in patients with chronic inflammatory disorders and in organ transplant recipients by limiting cell proliferation. These drugs which abrogate mitosis and cell division have severe cytotoxic side effects on normal cell populations which have a high turn-over rate, such as bone marrow cells and cells of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract lining. Accordingly, such drugs often have severe side effects, particularly, lymphopenia, neutropenia, bone marrow depression, hemorrhagic cystitis, liver damage, increased incidence of malignancy, hair loss, GI tract disturbances, and infertility. A second class of immunosuppressive drugs for use in transplantation is provided by compounds having antiinflammatory action. Representatives of this drug class are generally known as adrenal corticosteroids and have the advantage of not exerting globally systemic cytotoxic effects. These compounds usually act by preventing or inhibiting inflammatory responses or by reducing cytokine production, or by reducing chemotaxis, or by reducing neutrophil, macrophage or lymphocyte activation, or effector function. Typical examples of adrenal corticosteroids are prednisone and prednisolone which affect carbohydrate and protein metabolism as well as immune f nctions. Compounds of this class are sometimes used in combination with cytotoxic agents, such as compounds of the antiproliferative class because the corticosteroids are significantly less toxic. But the adrenal corticosteroids lack specificity of effect and can exert a fcroad range of metabolic, antiinflammatory and immune effects. Typical side effects of this class include increased organ-recipient infections and interference with wound healing, as well as disturbing hemodynamic balance, carbohydrate and bone metabolism and mineral regulation. A third class of immunosuppressive drugs for use in organ transplantation is provided by compounds which are immunomodula ory and generally prevent or inhibit leukocyte activation. Such compounds usually act by blocking activated T-cell effector functions or proliferation, or by inhibiting cytokine production, or by preventing or inhibiting activation, differentiation or effector functions of platelet, granulocyte, B-cell, or macrophage actions. The cyclosporin family of compounds is the leading example of drugs in this class. Such compounds are polypeptide fungal metabolites which have been found to be very effective in suppressing helper T-cells so as to reduce both cellular and humoral responses to newly-encountered antigens. Cyclosporins alter macrophage and lymphocyte activity by reducing cytokine production or secretion and, in particular, by interfering with activation of antigen-specific CD4 cells, by preventing IL-2 secretion and secretion of many T-cell products, as well as by interfering with expression of receptors for these lymphokines on various cell types. Cyclosporin A, in particular, has been used extensively as an iirπτrunosuppressive agent in organ transplantation. Other microbial metabolites- include cyclosporins such as cyclosporin B and cyclosporin G, and another microbial product known as FK-506. Cyclosporin A suppresses humoral immunity as well as cell-mediated reactions. Cyclosporin A is indicated for organ rejection in kidney, liver, heart, pancreas, bone- marrow and heart-lung transplants. Cyclosporin A is also useful in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, Graves' disease, severe psoriasis, aplastic anemia, multiple-sclerosis, alopecia areata, penphigus and penphigoid, dermatomyositis, polymyositis, Behcet's disease, uveitis, pulmonary sarcocidiosis, biliary cirrhosis, myasthenia gravis and atopic dermatitis. Cyclosporins possess several significant disadvantages. While cyclosporins have provided significant benefits in organ transplantation, cyclosporins are non-specific imrrunosuppressives. Desirable immune reactions may be reduced against foreign antigens. Tolerated dosages do not provide complete suppression of rejection response. Thus, imπrunologic reactions to transplanted tissue are not totally impeded, requiring concomitant treatment with prednisone, methylprednisolone, and/or other immunosuppression agents, including monoclonal antibodies such as anti-CD3 or anti-CD5/CD7. Cyclosporins can produce severe side effects in many organ recipients, and show host-variable effects on the liver, kidney, the CNS and GI tract. Significant among the adverse side effects are damage to the kidney and liver, hyperplasia of gum tissue, refractory hypertension and increased incidence of infections and malignancy. Thus, the need remains for efficacious and selective immunosuppressive drugs in organ transplantation, especially for grafts between less- than-perfectly matched donor-recipient pairs. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are lipid mediators produced in a variety of inflammatory disease states . Both are products of metabolism of arachidonic acid. Cyclooxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) are the enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins. 5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to leukotrienes. Products of both pathways have been described in association with transplant rejection in humans and animal models. Excess production of these mediators may play a role in accelerating loss of the transplant function, particularly in the kidney. However, little research has been directed at determining direct effects of eicosanoids on tissue rejection. Compounds which selectively inhibit cyclooxygenase-2 have been described.

Combination analgesics have been reported (W. Beaver, Am. J. Med. , 77, 38 (1984)) although such combinations do not substantially reduce adverse effects. The combination of NSAIDs and steroids have been described. A combination of indomethacin, steroid and lipopolysaccharide has been reported for the treatment of spinal injury ( . Guth et al . , Proc. Natl . Acad. Sci . USA, 91, 12308 (1994)) . G. Hughes et al . describe combinations of corticosteroids with NSAIDs for the treatment of sunburn (Dermatology, 184, 54 (1992)) . C. Stewart et aJ. ( Clin . Pharmacol . Thβr. , 47, 540 (1990)) describe the combination of naproxen and methotrexate as safe, although concurrent administrations of methotrexate with other NSAIDs have been reported to be toxic and sometimes fatal. A combination of a dual 5-lipoxygenase/cyclooxygenase inhibitor with a glucocorticoid is described for the treatment of skin disorders (K. Tramposch, Inflammation, 17, 531 (1993)) . Combinations of NSAIDs and steroids should be used in the treatment of scleritis only if patients are not responsive to any other treatment (S. Lightman and P. Watson, Am. J. Ophthalmol . , 108, 95 (1989)) . Combinations of cyclooxygenase inhibitors, lipoxygenase inhibitors, collagenase inhibitors and cytotoxic agents have been used in the treatment of non- small-cell lung cancers (B. Teicher et al . , Cancer. Chemother. Pharmacol . , 33, 515 (1994)) . Combinations of naproxen with other NSAIDs have been described in the treatment of arthritis. R. Willikens and E. Segre (Arthritis Rheum., 19, 677 (1976)) describe the combination of aspirin and naproxen as being more effective than aspirin alone for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Naproxen and acetaminophen together were described for treating the pain associated with arthritis (P. Seide an et al . , Acta Orthop. Scand. , 64, 285 (1993)) . However, combinations of naproxen with indomethacin or ibuprofen offer no advantage in the treatment of arthritis (M. Seifert and C. Engler, Curr. Med. Res . Opin . , 7, 38 (1980)) . Tenidap has been described as inhibiting cyclooxygenases and cytokine-modifying [F. Breedveld, Scand. J. Rheumatol . , 23 (Supp. 100), 31 (1994)] . WO patent Publication 94/02448, published February 3, 1994, describes hydroxamic acid derivatives as dual 5- lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors having immunosuppressant utility.

Bartlett et al. describe thiazolo(3,2-b) (1,2,4) triazin-7-ones as antiinflammatory agents with immunomodulating properties [Drugs Exptl . Clin. Res . , 15, 521 (1989)]. J. Shaw and R. Greatorex [Adv. Prostaglandin, Thromboxane, Leukotriene Res . , 13, 219 (1985)] describe that whereas aspirin and sodium salicylate prolong graft survival, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor reduced the survival period. V. Fimiani, et al. describe some NSAID's that may have activity in the treatment of autoimmune diseases [EOS-Revi sta di Immunologia and Imm nofarmacologia, 13, 58 (1993)] . A. Badger et al. describe an indomethacin enhancement of suppressor cell population [Immunopharm. , 4, 149 (1982)]. J. Shelby et al. [ Transplantation Proc , 19, 1435 (1987) ] describe indomethacin as reversing transfusion-induced graft prolongation. D. Latter et al. indicate that indomethacin was effective as an immunomodulator following burns [J " . S rg. Res. , 43, 246 (1987)] . J. Tarayre et al. describe indomethacin as having an effect in their delayed hypersensitivity models [Arznei . -Forsch. /Drug Res . , 40, 1125 (1990)]. D. Braun et al indicate that a prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor may help prevent chemotherapy-induced decline in immune reactivity [ Proc. Am. Soc. Clin. Oncol . , 4, 21 Meeting, 223 (1985)] . Administration of tepoxalin (dual 5-LO and COX inhibitor) and cyclosporine has been described [Fung-Leung, et al., Transplantation, 60, 362 (1995)] in suppression of graft versus host reaction although the effect of tepoxalin did not appear to be related to the inhibition of arachidonic acid metabolism. There have been no reports of combinations of a cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor and a leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitor having a significant prolongation of graft survival. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Reduction in recipient rejection of a transplanted organ, or treatment of an autoimmune or inflammatory disease, or a hypersensitivity reaction of the acute or delayed type, an allergic reaction or asthmatic disorder, or treatment of dermatitis, arthritis, meningitis, granulomas, vasculitis, septic shock or graft vs. host response may be accomplished by a method to prevent or suppress immune responses in a recipient or treatment subject, which method comprises treating the subject with a therapeutically-effective amount of an immunosuppressive combination of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and a leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitor.

The invention would be useful for, but not limited to, organ transplantation procedures and a variety of disease states. For example, combinations of the invention would be useful to treat a recipient of a graft of a transplanted organ to reduce recipient rejection of the graft or to reduce a donor leukocyte response against the recipient's tissues. Such combinations would be useful, in particular, for transplants of bone marrow, kidney, liver, heart, heart- lung and pancreas organs. Combinations of the invention would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject susceptible to or afflicted with an autoimmune disease or inflammatory disease. Examples of such treatable disease are graft vs. host disease, systemic lupus erythe atosis, multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, thyroiditis, Graves' disease, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, aplastic anemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenia purpura, mixed connective tissue disease, idiopathic Addison's disease, Sjogren's syndrome, insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, skin and muco- epithelial diseases such as psoriasis (in all its forms) lichen, chronic eczema, and pityriasis, glomerulonephritis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease, alopecia areata, pemphigus and pemphigoid, dermato yositis, poly yositis, Behcet's disease, uveitis, pulmonary sarcocidiosis, biliary cirrhosis, and atopic dermatitis. Combinations of the invention would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject susceptible to or afflicted with an allergy, such as an asthmatic condition or reaction, urticaria or with airway hypersensitivity. The invention would also be useful in suppressing immune response in a human or animal subject afflicted with or susceptible to septic shock. Combinations of the invention would also be useful in preventing or suppressing acute or delayed-type hypersensitivity responses or conditions resulting from or associated with hypersensitivity responses such as contact dermatitis, hemolytic anemias, antibody-induced thrombocytopenia, Goodpasture's syndrome, hypersensitivity, pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, granulomas, thyroidi is, encepheloirtyelitis, and meningitis. The invention would also be useful in the treatment of cancer, including leukemia, lymphoma and solid tumors, including pancreatic, breast, colon, lung, epithelial and melanoma tumors. Besides being useful for human treatment, these compounds are also useful for veterinary treatment of mammals, including companion animals and farm animals, such as, but not limited to, horses, dogs, cats, cows, sheep and pigs. Compositions of the invention would be useful in treating organs prior to transplant. For example, an organ removed from a donor could be stored or transported in a bath containing an immunosuppressive composition of the invention. The immunosuppressive composition would act to inhibit donor leukocyte reactivity. Compositions of the invention would also be useful in adjunct therapy involving, typically, coadministration with an additional immunosuppressive agent, such as a cyclosporin compound, or Fujisawa FK- 506 (macrolide lactone) compound, or rapamycin, or a glucocorticoid, or an antiproliferative agent, or a monoclonal antibody such as an anti-CD3 (anti-T cell receptor antibody) or anti-CD5/CD7 or anti-CD4 agent, or an anti-IL-2 receptor (anti-cytokine receptor antibody) agent or an anti-IL-2 (anti-cytokine antibody) , or Nippon NKT-01 (15-deoxyspergualin) or Syntex RS-61443.

Preferably, the compounds have a cyclooxygenase-2 IC50 of less than about 0.5 μM, and also have a selectivity ratio of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition over cyclooxygenase-1 inhibition of at least 50, and more preferably of at least 100. Even more preferably, the compounds have a cyclooxygenase-1 IC 50 of greater than about 1 μM, and more preferably of greater than 20 μM. Such preferred selectivity may indicate an ability to reduce the incidence of common NSAID-induced side effects. The term "leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitor" embraces compounds which selectively inhibit leukotriene A4 hydrolase with an IC 50 of less than about 10 μM. More preferably, the leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitors have an IC 50 of less than about 1 μM. The phrase "combination therapy" (or "co-therapy") , in defining use of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor agent and a leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitor agent, is intended to embrace administration of each agent in a sequential manner in a regimen that will provide beneficial effects of the drug combination. The phrase also is intended to embrace co-administration of these agents in a substantially simultaneous manner, such as in a single capsule having a fixed ratio of these active agents or in multiple, separate capsules for each agent. The phrase "therapeutically-effective" is intended to qualify the amount of each agent for use in the combination therapy which will achieve the goal of improvement in severity and the frequency of incidence over treatment of each agent by itself, while avoiding adverse side effects typically associated with alternative therapies.

Scheme I 2 Synthetic Scheme I shows the preparation of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor compounds, as described in U.Ξ. patent application Serial No. 08/223,629, which is incorporated by reference, embraced by Formula I. In step 1, ketone 1 is treated with a base, preferably NaOMe or NaH, and an ester, or ester equivalent, to form the intermediate diketone 2 (in the enol form) which is used without further purification. In step 2, diketone 2 in an anhydrous protic solvent, such as absolute ethanol or acetic acid, is treated with the hydrochloride salt or the free base of a substituted hydrazine at reflux to afford a mixture of pyrazoles 3 and 4. Recrystallization or chromatography affords 3 usually as a solid. Similar pyrazoles can be prepared by methods described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,146,721, 5,051,518, 5,134,142 and 4,914,121 which also are incorporated by reference. Scheme II Oxidize Scheme II shows the four step procedure for forming cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor pyrazoles 8 as described in U.S. patent application Serial No. 08/278,297 (where R a is hydrido or alkyl) from ketones 5. In step 1, ketone 5 is reacted with a base, such as lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide or lithium diiso ropylamide (LDA) to form the anion. In step 2, the anion is reacted with an acetylating reagent to provide diketone 6. In step 3, the reaction of diketone 6 with hydrazine or a substituted hydrazine, gives pyrazole 7. In step 4, the pyrazole 7 is oxidized with an oxidizing reagent, such as Oxone® (potassium peroxymonosulfate) , 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) or hydrogen peroxide, to give a mixture of the desired 3-(alkylsulfonyl)phenyl-pyrazole 8 and the 5- (alkylsulfonyl) henyl-pyrazole isomer. The desired pyrazole 8, usually a white or pale yellow solid, is obtained in pure form either by chromatography or recrystallization. Alternatively, diketone 6 can be formed from ketone 5 by treatment with a base, such as sodium hydride, in a solvent, such as dimethylformamide, and further reacting with a nitrile to form an aminoketone. Treatment of the aminoketone with acid forms the diketone 6. Similar pyrazoles can be prepared by methods described in U.S. Pat No. 3,984,431 which is incorporated by reference.

Sulfonamides 24 can be formed from the hydrated isoxazole 23 in a two step procedure. First, hydrated isoxazole 23 is treated at about 0 °C with two or three equivalents of chlorosulfonic acid to form the corresponding sulfonyl chloride. In step two, the sulfonyl chloride thus formed is treated with concentrated ammonia to provide the sulfonamide derivative 2 . Scheme VI lation; 28 29 Scheme VI shows the three step preparation of the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor imidazoles 29 of the present invention. In step 1, the reaction of substituted nitriles (R X CN) 25 with primary phenylamines 26 in the presence of alkylaluminum reagents such as trimethylaluminum, triethylaluminum, dimethylaluminum chloride, diethylaluminum chloride in the presence of inert solvents such as toluene, benzene, and xylene, gives amidines 27. In step 2, the reaction of a idine 27 with 2-haloketones (where X is Br or Cl) in the presence of bases, such as sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate or hindered tertiary amines such as W, N' -diisopropylethylamine, gives the 4,5-dihydroimidazoles 28 (where R D is alkyl) . Some of the suitable solvents for this reaction are isopropanol, acetone and dimethylformamide. The reaction may be carried out at temperatures of about 20°C to about 90°C.

Suitable solvents for this dehydration step are e.g., toluene, xylene and benzene. Trifluoroacetic acid can be used as solvent and catalyst for this dehydration step. In some cases (e.g., where R 3 = methyl or phenyi) the intermediate 28 may not be readily isolable. The reaction, under the conditions described above, proceeds to give the targeted imidazoles directly. Similarly, imidazoles can be prepared having the sulfonylphenyl moiety attached at position 2 and R^ attached at the nitrogen atom at position 1.

Any of compounds 33 and 34 may be used as intermediates for conversion to imidazoles 35 (where R 2 is alkyl) according to chemical procedures known by those skilled in the art and described by M. R. Gri mett, "Advances in Imidazole Chemistry" in Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry, 12, 104 (1970) . The conversion of 34 to imidazoles 35 is carried out by reaction with ammonium acetate and an appropriate aldehyde (R 3 CHO) in acetic acid. Benzoin 36 may be converted to imidazoles 38 by reaction with formamide.

BIOLOGICAL EVALUATION A combination of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and a LTA4 hydrolase inhibitor is evaluated as described in the following tests. Transplantation and Evaluation of Graft Re-ifiction The method of skin grafting used has been previously described [D. Steinmuller, Skin Grafting. Surgical Techniques in Immunology, Methods Enzymol. 108, 20 (1984)]. Briefly, a tailskin from an 8-12 week old male BlO.Br mouse is removed and stored in cold saline. Male C57BL/10 mice are anesthetized, and their backs are shaved. The backs are scrubbed with alcohol, and a 1 cm 2 piece of skin is removed. A similar size piece of skin is cut from the tailskin of the BlO.Br mouse and placed in the excised area on the C57BL/10 animal's back. A petroleum jelly coated bandage is placed over the graft and held in place by a bandage. Compounds are prepared as a suspension in 0.5% methylcellulose (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), and 0.025% Tween® 20 (Sigma) . The compounds are administered by i.p. injection in a volume of 0.1 ml beginning on the day of skin grafting and continuing until transplant rejection. Cyclosporin A (csa) is purchased as "Sandim une Injection" at a pharmacy. Compounds are administered alone or as combinations of a COX-2 and LTA4 hydrolase inhibitor. Bandages are left in place until 8 days post grafting. At that time they are removed, and the grafts are observed daily for signs of rejection. Rejection is determined by complete blackening or scabbing of the grafted skin. The animals are dosed at one of the following dosing ranges: Example 1 β M,W,F @ 10 mpk/day; Example 2 @ 30 mpk/day, q.d.; Example 3 @ 10 mpk/day, q.d.; csa @ 5 mpk/day, b.d. The combinations of a COX-2 inhibitor or the LTA4 hydrolase inhibitor should be active in delaying graft rejection at a dosage of about 10-20 mg per kg body weight. The coadministration of a COX-2 inhibitor or the LTA4 hydrolase inhibitor with a low dose of the immunosuppressant Cyclosporin A should enhance prolongation of graft survival and may have additive or synergistic effects when combined with cyclosporin. Example 4 A formulation is prepared having the following components: 700 mg of a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor and 700 mg of a LTA4 hydrolase inhibitor. Example 5 A formulation is prepared having the following components: 350 mg of 4-[5- (3-fluoro-4-methoxyphenyl)-3- (difluoromethyl) -lH-pyrazol-1-yl] benzenesulfonamide and 700 mg of 3-[methyl[3-[4-phenylmethyl)phenoxy]propyl] - amino]propanoic acid. Also embraced within this invention is a class of pharmaceutical compositions comprising the active compounds of this combination therapy in association with one or more non-toxic, pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers and/or diluents and/or adjuvants (collectively referred to herein as "carrier" materials) and, if desired, other active ingredients. The active compounds of the present invention may be administered by any suitable route, preferably in the form of a pharmaceutical composition adapted to such a route, and in a dose effective for the treatment intended. The active compounds and composition may, for example, be administered orally, intravascularly, intraperitoneally, subcutaneously, intramuscularly or topically. For oral administration, the pharmaceutical composition may be in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid. The pharma¬ ceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a dosage unit containing a particular amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets or capsules. The active ingredient may also be admin¬ istered by injection as a composition wherein, for example, saline, dextrose or water may be used as a suitable carrier. The amount of therapeutically active compounds that are administered and the dosage regimen for treating a disease condition with the compounds and/or compositions of this invention depends on a variety of factors, including the age, weight, sex and medical condition of the subject, the severity of the disease, the route and frequency of administration, and the particular compound employed, and thus may vary widely. The pharmaceutical compositions may contain active ingredients in the range of about 0.1 to 2000 mg, preferably in the range of about 0.5 to 500 mg and most preferably between about 1 and 100 mg. A daily dose of about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg body weight, preferably between about 0.05 and about 20 mg/kg body weight and most preferably between about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg body weight, may be appropriate. The daily dose can be administered in one to four doses per day. In the case of psoriasis and other skin conditions, it may be preferable to apply a topical preparation of compounds of this invention to the affected area two to four times a day. For disorders of the eye or other external tissues, e.g., mouth and skin, the formulations are preferably applied as a topical ointment or cream, or as a suppository, containing the active ingredients in a total amount of, for example, 0.075 to 30% w/w, preferably 0.2 to 20% w/w and most preferably 0.4 to 15% w/w. When formulated in an ointment, the active ingredients may be employed with either paraffinic or a water-miscible ointment base. Alternatively, the active ingredients may be formulated in a cream with an oil-in- water cream base. If desired, the aqueous phase of the cream base may include, for example at least 30% w/w of a polyhydric alcohol such as propylene glycol, butane- 1,3-diol, mannitol, sorbitol, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof. The topical formulation may desirably include a compound which enhances absorption or penetration of the active ingredient through the skin or other affected areas. Examples of such dermal penetration enhancers include dimethylsulfoxide and related analogs. The compounds of this invention can also be administered by a transder al device. Preferably topical administration will be accomplished using a patch either of the reservoir and porous membrane type or of a solid matrix variety. In either case, the active agent is delivered continuously from the reservoir or microcapsules through a membrane into the active agent permeable adhesive, which is in contact with the skin or mucosa of the recipient. If the active agent is absorbed through the skin, a controlled and predetermined flow of the active agent is administered to the recipient. In the case of microcapsules, the encapsulating agent may also function as the membrane. The oily phase of the emulsions of this invention may be constituted from known ingredients in a known manner. While the phase may comprise merely an emulsifier, it may comprise a mixture of at least one emulsifier with a fat or an oil or with both a fat and an oil. Preferably, a hydrophilic emulsifier is included together with a lipophilic emulsifier which acts as a stabilizer. It is also preferred to include both an oil and a fat. Together, the emulsifier(s) with or without stabilizer(s) make-up the so-called emulsifying wax, and the wax together with the oil and fat make up the so-called emulsifying ointment base which forms the oily dispersed phase of the cream formulations. Emulsifiers and emulsion stabilizers suitable for use in the formulation of the present invention include Tween 60, Span 80, cetostearyl alcohol, myristyl alcohol, glyceryl monostearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate, among others. The choice of suitable oils or fats for the formulation is based on achieving the desired cosmetic properties, since the solubility of the active compound in most oils likely to be used in pharmaceutical emulsion formulations is very low. Thus, the cream should preferably be a non-greasy, non-staining and washable product with suitable consistency to avoid leakage from tubes or other containers. Straight or branched chain, mono- or dibasic alkyl esters such as di-isoadipate, isocetyl stearate, propylene glycol diester of coconut fatty acids, isopropyl myristate, decyl oleate, isopropyl palmitate, butyl stearate, 2- ethylhexyl palmitate or a blend of branched chain esters may be used. These may be used alone or in combination depending on the properties required. Alternatively, high melting point lipids such as white soft paraffin and/or liquid paraffin or other mineral oils can be used. Formulations suitable for topical administration to the eye also include eye drops wherein the active ingredients are dissolved or suspended in suitable carrier, especially an aqueous solvent for the active ingredients. The antiinflammatory active ingredients are preferably present in such formulations in a concentration of 0.5 to 20%, advantageously 0.5 to 10% and particularly about 1.5% w/w. For therapeutic purposes, the active compounds of this combination invention are ordinarily combined with one or more adjuvants appropriate to the indicated route of administration. If administered per os, the compounds may be admixed with lactose, sucrose, starch powder, cellulose esters of alkanoic acids, cellulose alkyl esters, talc, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, magnesium oxide, sodium and calcium salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, gelatin, acacia gum, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and/or polyvinyl alcohol, and then tableted or encapsulated for con¬ venient administration. Such capsules or tablets may contain a controlled-release formulation as may be provided in a dispersion of active compound in hydroxy- propylmethyl cellulose. Formulations for parenteral administration may be in the form of aqueous or non- aqueous isotonic sterile injection solutions or suspensions. These solutions and suspensions may be prepared from sterile powders or granules having one or more of the carriers or diluents mentioned for use in the formulations for oral administration. The compounds may be dissolved in water, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, ethanol, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, benzyl alcohol, sodium chloride, and/or various buffers. Other adjuvants and modes of administration are well and widely known in the pharmaceutical art. Although this invention has been described with respect to specific embodiments, the details of these embodiments are not to be construed as limitations.
