Definitions

  • This invention relates to new therapeutic uses of pentoxifylline, a known compound.
  • Venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers, arterial ulcers and decubitus ulcers are chronic skin ulcers. Most leg ulcers are venous, occurring mostly in the ankle area. They are usually secondary to damaged valves in the veins, which results in an inability of the venous pressure to fall as is normal when walking. This is called sustained venous hypertension. Diabetic ulcers occur almost exclusively on the foot. They are either secondary to large vessel atherosclerosis or to diabetic neuropathy and loss of feeling. Neuropathic diabetic ulcers occur on pressure areas of the foot and toes and can be thought of as pressure ulcers, while the atherosclerotic type can be considered ischemic ulcers. Arterial ulcers are secondary to large vessel atherosclerosis.
  • Decubitus ulcers also known as pressure ulcers
  • Decubitus ulcers are an area of localized necrosis that results from soft tissue being compressed between bone and skin, caused by exerting pressure on an area of the body for extended periods, typically longer than 3 hours. Decubitus ulcers are most commonly seen in the elderly and are usually the result of long hospital stays, most typically following hip fracture. In the US, it is conservatively estimated that 400,000 to 600,000 patients suffer from venous ulcers each year. Similar data have been reported from Europe. Elastic compression therapy is regarded as the ⁇ gold standard' treatment for venous uiceration.
  • Pentoxifylline i.e. 3,7-dimethyl-1-(5-oxohexyl)-xanthine
  • Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative with a complex and poorly understood pharmacology. It is believed to improve the flow properties of blood by decreasing its viscosity and/or increasing the deformability of red blood cells. This is believed to underlie the efficacy of the drug in the treatment of intermittent claudication and supposes a systemic action of the drug.
  • the usual dose is one 400 mg tablet (Trental) given 3 times per day with meals.
  • pentoxifylline has been given orally at doses up to 800 mg three times per day (see Falanga et al 1999, Wound Repair Regen, 7(4):208-213).
  • This study used a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel group placebo controlled design in a multicenter outpatient setting. Patients with one or more venous ulcer were enrolled, with all patients receiving standardized compression bandaging for treatment for their ulcers. Patients were also randomized to receive either pentoxifylline 400 mg, pentoxifylline 800 mg (two 400 mg tablets), or placebo tablets three times a day for up to 24 weeks. The main outcome measure was time to complete healing of all leg ulcers, using life table analysis. The study was completed as planned in 131 patients.
  • patients were excluded from the study if they had a recent myocardial infarction, major hemorrhage or lumbar sympathectomy, or had conditions or were taking medications that could interfere with the study.
  • patients were randomly assigned to receive 400 mg of pentoxifylline three times per day or an identical placebo. Patients were followed until the ulcer healed or 24 weeks of treatment had been completed.
  • the 101 patients taking pentoxifylline were similar to the 99 patients receiving placebo in all major respects.
  • ulcers healed in 65 (64 percent) of the patients receiving pentoxifylline compared with 52 (53 percent) of the patients receiving placebo. This difference did not achieve statistical significance.
  • 14 percent of the ulcers in each group healed.
  • systemic administration of pentoxifylline to achieve optimal healing rates is subject to poor tolerability.
  • Gastrointestinal side-effects associated with oral pentoxifylline include nausea, indigestion and diarrhoea.
  • Other side-effects can include chest pain, arrhythmia, hypertension, dyspnea, edema, hypotension, angina, tachycardia, dizziness/lightheadedness, headache, drowsiness/sleepiness, tremor, agitation, anxiety, confusion, insomnia and restlessness.
  • Patients with renal disease are at risk of toxicity.
  • Pentoxifylline is not safe for people with recent bleeding problems, particularly stroke caused by sudden bleeding, or retinal bleeding.
  • Patients on warfarin should have more frequent monitoring of prothrombin times.
  • Concomitant administration of pentoxifylline (Trental) and theophylline-containing drugs leads to increased theophylline levels and theophylline toxicity in some individuals.
  • Small decreases in blood pressure have been observed in some patients treated with pentoxifylline (Trental); periodic sysyemic blood pressure monitoring is recommended for patients receiving concomitant antihypertensive therapy.
  • This invention relates to the topical use of pentoxifylline, for the treatment of chronic venous ulcers, chronic diabetic ulcers, chronic arterial ulcers and chronic decubitus ulcers (pressure sores), other chronic wounds and also acute wounds.
  • pentoxifylline has pharmacological activity in improving cutaneous blood flow in the lower extremities, when given by the topical route. This effect would be beneficial in the treatment of lower extremity ulcers.
  • Pentoxifylline administered topically is also of benefit in treating ulcers on other parts of the body, and in treating other chronic and acute wounds involving skin. The activity of pentoxifylline by the topical route in the treatment of chronic skin ulcers or wounds is surprising.
  • the topical doses effective in the treatment of skin wounds may be lower than those used orally and thereby indicate a direct effect on the wound. Indeed, to produce similar systemic concentrations to those observed after oral administration would be difficult by giving the drug topically, since the oral doses are very high.
  • the active compound can be formulated in any suitable manner together with a conventional diluent or carrier.
  • the active compound is preferably administered by the topical route using a gel, cream, foam, ointment, powder or liquid spray or solution.
  • Other types of application may include impregnated bandages or other dressings or impregnated films.
  • a particularly suitable composition is a cream containing, say, 5% by weight pentoxifylline.
  • the dose of the active agent will depend on the nature and degree of the complaint, the age and condition of the patient and other factors known to those skilled in the art.
  • a typical daily dosage is 0.01 to 5000 mg.
  • the daily dose can be lower than has previously been used for pentoxifylline (Trental) given orally, e.g. below 1200 mg per day, preferably below 800, 400, 200 or 100 mg, administered as one, two or three topical applications each day.
  • the active compound may be pentoxifylline itself or a salt form, prodrug or metabolite thereof. Such compounds and their activity will be known to or can be readily determined by, one of ordinary skill in the art.
  • the pentoxifylline is intended for topical adminstration to a patient suffering an ulcer or wound and who is being treated with an anticoagulant, for example, warfarin, or an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, for example, aspirin.
  • the topical pentoxifylline is also beneficial for treating patients suffering an ulcer or wound, and who are receiving antihypertensive therapy; being treated with theophylline or aminophylline; who have risk factors complicated by haemorrhage, for example recent surgery, peptic ulcer, cerebral and/or retinal bleeding; or who exhibit intolerance to oral pentoxifylline or other methylxantinones, such as caffeine or theobromine.
  • the following Methods are given as examples to illustrate how the beneficial actions of topical pentoxifylline in wound healing are demonstrated.
  • pentoxifylline when given topically are demonstrated in a study similar to that described above (Dale et al, supra), except that the drug is administered at 12 hourly intervals directly on to the skin wound, e.g. as 5% pentoxifylline in a suitable vehicle, which could be for example a cream, ointment or gel.
  • the daily dose administered topically is less than 1200 mg (the dose used in the oral study).
  • the beneficial effects of topically applied pentoxifylline, for example 5% in a suitable vehicle applied daily, are also or alternatively demonstrated in an animal model of wound healing as for example described by Xia et al (1999) J. Pathol 188(4), 431-438.
  • the following Example illustrates a composition suitable for use in the invention.
  • Example Pentoxifylline at 5% (50mg/ml) is prepared by adding to a cream consisting of purifed water with glycerol stearate 3.8%, cetyl alcohol 2.9%, PEG- 100 stearate 2.9%, white soft paraffin 9.3%, isopropyl myristate 5.6%, sorbitol 4.7% and benzyl alcohol 1 %.
