Description
COMBINATIONS OF LOTEPREDNOL AND OLOPATADINE FOR THE TREATMENT OF OCULAR ALLERGIES
FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention is directed to methods and compositions for the treatment of ocular allergy, including seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The eye, particularly the conjunctiva, has a relatively large number of mast cells. When allergens are present they can bind to immunoglobulins on the surface of these mast cells and trigger their degranulation (breakdown). Degranulation releases mast cell components, including histamine, prostaglandins, leukotrienes and chemo attractants into the environment outside the mast cell. Through a variety of mechanisms these components produce ocular surface inflammation resulting in itching, tearing, lid and conjunctival edema/redness, and photophobia. This is frequently designated as an acute phase response, as is seen with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and perennial allergic conjunctivitis. As is the case in other allergic diseases, the acute phase response can progress to a late phase response characterized by an influx of eosinophils and neutrophils into the conjunctiva. In the associated chronic allergic disease, exemplified by vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis, eyelid swelling and remodeling of the ocular surface tissues can occur. In severe cases the patient experiences extreme discomfort and sustains damage to the ocular surface. For such instances there is no highly effective and safe treatment regimen. However literature survey revealed that nobody till date has used fixed dose combination of Antiinflammatory steroids and histamine antagonists for the treatment of ocular allergic disorders, such as allergic conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, and atopic keratoconjunctivitis.
Thus there is unmet need in the art to provide an effective treatment of ocular allergic disorders such as allergic conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, and atopic keratoconjunctivitis. The present inventors have found that
the fixed dose combination of anti-inflammatory steroids and histamine antagonists is effective for treatment of ocular allergic disorders such as allergic conjunctivitis, giant papillary conjunctivitis, vernal conjunctivitis, and atopic keratoconjunctivitis.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is directed to a method of treating ocular allergy, including seasonal and perennial allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, atopic keratoconjunctivitis, and giant papillary conjunctivitis in a patient suffering from or predisposed thereto, comprising administration of a fixed dose combination comprising one or more anti-inflammatory steroids and one or more histamine antagonists.
In one aspect, the present invention provides a fixed dose combination comprising one or more anti-inflammatory steroids and one or more histamine antagonists for the treatment of ocular allergy.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising fixed dose combination comprising one or more antiinflammatory steroids and one or more histamine antagonists for the treatment of ocular allergy.
In yet another aspect, the present invention provides a process for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising fixed dose combination of one or more anti-inflammatory steroids and one or more histamine antagonists for the treatment of ocular allergy.
In yet preferred aspect, the present invention provides a method of treating an ocular allergy, comprising administering to an affected eye of patient a combination of effective amount of Loteprednol or its pharmaceutically acceptable esters/salts thereof and Olopatadine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof optionally together with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
In yet another preferred aspect, the present invention provides a fixed dose combination of Loteprednol or its pharmaceutically acceptable esters/salts thereof and Olopatadine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the treatment of ocular allergy.
In another yet preferred aspect, the present invention provides a stable pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of Loteprednol or its pharmaceutically acceptable esters/salts thereof, an effective amount of Olopatadine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
In yet another preferred aspect, the present invention provides a process for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising Loteprednol Etabonate, Olopatadine Hydrochloride and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION
The invention includes the combinational use of one or more antiinflammatory steroids and one or more histamine antagonists for the treatment of ocular allergy. More specifically, the present invention includes the combinational use of Loteprednol or its pharmaceutically acceptable esters/salts thereof and Olopatadine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for the treatment of ocular allergy.
As used herein, the term "ocular allergy" refers to an allergic disorder of the ocular surface caused by pathogenic allergens. Allergic conjunctivitis is the preferred ocular allergy and includes a wide variety of pathological conditions including Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis ("SAC"), Perennial Allergic Conjunctivitis ("PAC"), Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis and Atopic Keratoconjunctivitis. Mast cells are primarily responsible for the hypersensitivity reaction that occurs in SAC and PAC.
As used herein, the term "anti-inflammatory steroids" refers to the drugs that block the synthesis of new histamine release by mast cells, inactivate available histamine, inhibit mast cell degranulation, decrease capillary permeability, and inhibit phospholipase A synthesis, which is used in the production of arachidonic acid and thereby prevent inflammation.
As used herein, the term "Histamine antagonists "refers to the drugs that counteract the action of histamine. The histamine antagonists therefore prevent the allergic reaction by acting on certain sub-types of histamine receptors such as HI histamine receptor, H2, H3 or H4 receptors and prevent the release of histamine which is responsible for allergic reaction upon exposure of allergen.
Anti-inflammatory steroids like Loteprednol undergo a predictable transformation to its inactive metabolite upon reaching to its site of administration (intraocular or intranasal). As a result of this local metabolism, none or very little amount of drug reaches to systemic circulation and because of this steroid specific side effects are not observed.
Histamine antagonists are the fast-acting component and thus effective in elimination of the acute symptoms (e.g. reddening, itching, and swelling) occur during early phases of allergic reaction, while anti-inflammatory steroid provide better control of inflammation occur during allergic reaction. Thus the combination of histamine antagonist and anti-inflammatory steroid is much effective for treatment of ocular allergy.
In one embodiments, compositions and formulations described herein comprise a first active agent and a second active agent, wherein the first active agent and the second active agent are formulated into the composition or formulation in a manner that allows ophthalmic and/or topical activity of the agents (e.g., by formulating a composition or formulation described herein as a solution, gel, or the like, comprising a first active agent and a second active agent as solutes within the solution, gel, suspension etc.). It is to be understood that such compositions and formulations include compositions and formulations wherein a substantial portion, a therapeutically effective portion, most or all of the first and second agents are either dissolved or suspended in the liquid medium (e.g., aqueous medium) based on their solubility in liquid medium.
In preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a combination of Anti-inflammatory steroids (preferably Loteprednol) and histamine antagonists (preferably Olopatadine) are administered topically (intranasally or intraocularly) as a fixed dose combination. As a result of this combination a quick onset of action occurs along with strong anti-inflammatory action.
In one advantageous embodiment, the active components of present invention are present in the form of a fixed dose combination, owing to which the administration is simpler for the patients, since both active compounds are contained in one and the same container.
