The compound (I) or its salt is contained in the ointment in an amount of 0.01 to 10% (W/W), preferably 0.01 to 5% (W/W), more preferably 0.1 to 3% (W/W). In the present invention, the compound (I) is dissolved in a solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent.
The solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent used in the present invention means an agent which is capable of solubilizing the compound (I) or its salt to have a concentration of at least 0.1% (W/W) or more, and further promoting the absorption of the compound (I) or its salt from skin when the compound (I) or its salt is formulated as an ointment. In other words, the solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent affords solubilizing and absorbing abilities to the compound (I) or its salt. The solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agents of the present invention include the agent possessing either one of solubilizing or absorbing abilities. As a result of various studies about the agents possessing the above two abilities, the followings are listed as the solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent.
lower alkanediols (ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, etc.);
lower alkylene carbonates (propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, etc.);
alkane dicarboxylic esters (dimethyl adipate, diethyl adipate, diisopropyl adipate, diethyl pimelate, diethyl sebacate, dipropyl sebacate etc.);
higher alkane carboxylic glycerin esters (monolaurin, dilaurin, trilaurin, etc.);
higher alkene carboxylic glycerin esters (monoolein, diolein, triolein, etc.);
higher alkane carboxylic alkyl esters (isopropyl myristate, ethyl myristate, etc.);
higher unsaturated alcohols (geraniol, oleyl alcohol, etc.) and
azacycloalkanes (1-dodecylazacycloheptan-2-one, etc.).
Preferable agents among these are lower alkanediols, lower alkylene carbonates and alkane dicarboxylic esters. More preferable agents are propylene carbonate, propylene glycol and diisopropyl adipate.
The solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent is used in an amount at least sufficient to dissolve the compound (I) or its salt, specifically, in an amount of 1 to 300, more preferably 2 to 200 parts by weight to the compound (I). The upper limit amount of the agent is set to an amount for not destroying the desired characteristics of the ointment. According to the present invention, the amount of the solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent is preferably the minimum required for dissolving the compound (I) or its salt or slightly more than that in view of the absorbing ability. Specifically, propylene carbonate or propylene glycol is preferably used in an amount of 1 to 100, more preferably 2 to 50 parts by weight to the compound (I). Diisopropyl adipate is preferably used in an amount of 5 to 300, more preferably 10 to 200 parts by weight to the compound (I). The solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent is contained in the ointment in an amount of 1 to 30% (W/W), preferably 1 to 20% (W/W).
The solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent may be used singly or in combination thereof.
According to the present invention, a solution comprising the compound (I) or its salt (in the solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent) is formulated with an ointment base by any known method.
Examples of the ointment bases are oil and fat bases, especially, natural wax (white bees wax, carnauba wax, purified lanolin, anhydrous lanolin, etc.), petroleum wax (solid paraffin, microcrystalline wax, etc.), higher aliphatic acid glycerine ester, preferably, mono higher aliphatic acid glycerine ester (e.g., monostearin, etc.) or hydrocarbons (liquid paraffin, white petrolatum, yellow petrolatum, etc.). Preferably, these are used in combination.
The ointment of the present invention may contain, in addition to the ointment base, other additives usable for an ointment, such as perfumes, colorants, preservatives or absorption-promoting agents such as higher alkene carboxylic acid (e.g., oleic acid) or other drugs effective for skin diseases.
In view of one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a process for preparing an ointment which comprises dissolving the compound (I) or its salt in a solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent, compounding the resultant solution with an ointment base, stirring the resultant solution under heating and thereafter cooling the resultant solution to prepare an ointment. In this process, one or more additives optionally together with an additional amount of the solubilizing and/or absorption-promoting agent which is the same as or different from that used for dispersing the compound (I) or its salt may be generally incorporated into an ointment simultaneous with the ointment base.
The present invention includes the ointment which may contain the compound (I) or its salt partially as crystals.
The ointment of the present invention can be applied to the affected part of the skin one to four time a day.
An ointment can also be obtained when the compounds disclosed in the documents listed below are employed instead of the compound (I) or its salt of the present invention, such as EP-A-353678, Japanese Patent Application No. HEI 2(1990)-74330, PCT/GB90/01262, EP-A-413532, PCT/JP91/00314, British Patent Application No. 9012963.6, British Patent Application No. 9014136.7, British Patent Application No. 014681.2, British Patent Application No. 9014880.0, British Patent Application No. 9014881.8, British Patent Application No. 9015098.8, British Patent Application No. 9016115.9, British Patent Application No. 9016693.5, EP-A-323865, EP-A-349061, EP-A-358508, EP-A-364031, EP-A-364032, EP-A-378317, EP-A-378320, EP-A-378321, EP-A-388153, EP-A-396399, EP-A-396400, EP-A-399579, EP-A-403242, EP-A-428365, EP-A-356399, GB 2225576 A, EP-A-402931 and EP-A-427680.

Explained next are pharmaceutical tests and stability tests regarding the ointment of the present invention.
Test 1 (In vivo cutaneous absorption test)
An abdominal part of rats (male, SD rat, 7-week old) was depilated by electric hair clippers and depilatory cream one day before the test. On the test day, the rat was fixed on a fixed stand at a dorsal position for applying a sample (ointment) in an amount of about 100 mg to the area of 10 cm2 of the depilated skin (4×2.5 cm) by a microspatula. Immediately after and 8 hours after the application, the sample remaining on the skin was scraped off by the microspatula. The surface of the skin was wiped off by four absorbent cottons moistened with ethanol. The collected substance was put into a centrifuged tube, to which 20 ml of solution (n-hexane/ethanol=1/1) was added. The tube was shaken. The extracted supernatant fluid was poured into HPLC having the following conditions to quantify the amount of FK 506 substance. The measurement was conducted three times.
Column: TSK-gel OH-120 25 cm×4.6 mmΦ
Mobile phase: n-hexane/anhydrous ethanol =4/1

Test 2 (Anti-inflammatory test)
A 3% croton oil--diethyl ether solution (20 μl) was applied to the back of both auricles of a mouse to cause reaction (while diethyl ether (20 μl) was similarly applied to cause spontaneous swelling). After six hours, the thickness of each auricle was measured. A degree of swelling was obtained by subtracting the thickness of each auricle before the reaction from that after the reaction. This degree is represented as an index of the strength of inflammatory edema.
A test preparation (20 μl) was applied to the back of both auricles three hours before the application of the croton oil. The applied preparation was wiped off with 70% ethanol immediately before the application of the croton oil.
