Title: Promedicaments hydrosolubles a charge positive de l'acide acetylsalicylique
Inventor: XU LINA
IPC: C07C235/42
Filed: 2006-07-09
Abstract: L'invention porte sur la conception et la synthèse de nouveaux promédicaments à charge positive de l'acide acétylsalicylique (ASA) et ses analogues de formule générale (1) "Structure 1". Les composés de formule générale (1) "Structure 1" indiqués ci-dessus peuvent être préparés à partir de dérivés fonctionnels de l'acide acétylsalicylique ou ses analogues (par exemple d'hydracides ou d'anhydrides mélangés) par mise en réaction avec des alcools, des thiols ou des amines appropriés. Les groupes amino à charge positive de ces promédicaments peuvent non seulement augmenter largement la solubilité de ces médicaments, mais aussi se lier à la charge négative sur le groupe de tête phosphatique de membranes et pousser le promédicament vers le cytosol. Les résultats de l'expérience suggèrent que ce promédicament, l'acétylsalicylate de diéthylaminoéthyle AcOH, se diffuse à travers la peau humaine ~400 fois plus rapidement que l'acide acétylsalicylique lui-même et ~100 fois plus rapidement que l'acétylsalicylate d'éthyle. Dans le plasma, 80 % de ces promédicaments peuvent redonner le médicament en quelques minutes. Les promédicaments peuvent être utilisés médicalement dans le traitement de n'importe quel trouble pouvant être traité à l'aspirine chez l'homme ou chez l'animal et peuvent être administrés non seulement par voie orale, mais aussi par voie transdermique pour tout type de traitements médicaux. Ces promédicaments évitent également la plupart des effets secondaires de l'aspirine, plus particulièrement les troubles gastro-intestinaux tels que la dyspepsie, le saignement gastroduodénal, les ulcérations gastriques et la gastrite. Des systèmes d'administration par voie transdermique contrôlée dudit promédicament permettent à l'aspirine d'atteindre en permanence des concentrations sanguines thérapeutiques optimales pour une plus grande efficacité de l'aspirine et moins d'effets secondaires.
