Abstract

The invention concerns the use of platelet activation factor antagonists to dysmenorrhea.

Description

Use of PAF antagonists to treat dysmenorrhea

The invention relates to the use of

PAF antagonists, in particular PAF antagonists of hetrazepinoid structure for the treatment of

Dysmenorrhea, especially the primary dysmenorrhea.

Various groups of drugs for the treatment of dysmenorrhea are known from the prior art (Red List 1991). On the one hand, non-hormonal antidysmenorrhoica are used therapeutically, such as analgesics and vitamin B ₆ complexes, and on the other hand, hormone-like medicines, such as ethinyl estradiol, are used to treat menstrual disorders. The use of analgesics indicates the well-known

Side effects such as influencing responsiveness. Taking vitamin

B ₆ complexes only make sense if there is actually a lack of vitamin B ₆ . Sex hormones can also have a number of side effects, including:

Breast secretion and enlargement, rash,

Eryhtema nodosum, amenorrhea and an aggravation of endometriosis. On the other hand, have also been used to treat menstrual disorders

Prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor or cyclooxygenase inhibitor proposed; the disadvantages of such active substances - in particular the occurrence of gastric and intestinal ulcers are well known. With all these preparations, the effect, especially with heavy forms, is

Dysmenorrhea, often not fully satisfactory.

It was the object of the present invention

Medicines to treat dysmenorrhea,

especially the primary dysmenorrhea. Another task was to provide a drug for treatment with fewer side effects. This task is accomplished by using

PAF antagonists, in particular solved by PAF antagonists of hetrazepinoid structure.

This task is accomplished by using

PAF antagonists resolved in the treatment of dysmenorrhea, especially primary dysmenorrhea.

Connections highlighted in Europe.

The compounds mentioned do not have the side effects known for analgesics. Although the

mentioned compounds to the chemical class of

Belonging to thieno-1,4-diazepines, it has been shown that they have no sedative properties.

Side effects like those with sex hormones or

Cyclooxygenase inhibitors can occur are not yet known and due to the different

chemical structures are also not to be expected.

The drug is expediently taken when the menstrual pain begins, as

It has also proven to be effective if you start taking it shortly before menstruation begins. If necessary, the intake can be repeated due to the good tolerance of the substances.

Surprisingly, it has been shown that the

Compounds proposed according to the invention can also be successfully used in particularly severe cases of primary dysmenorrhea ae. Using the example of 4- (2-chlorophenyl) -9-methyl-2- [3 (4-morpholinyl) -3-propanon-1-yl] -6H-thieno- [3,2-f] - [1,2 , 4] triazolo [4,3-a] [1,4] diazepines (I), after several months of application with an application of approximately 80 mg of substance, it was demonstrated that the intake of the compound quickly led to the complete disappearance of the menstrual pain . An effective oral single dose of the above-mentioned compound (I) is between 40 and 200 mg, preferably 80-150 mg,

particularly preferably 90-120 mg. The single doses

other PAF antagonists generally graded compared to this compound according to their relative PAF receptor binding affinities.

Compounds with a higher receptor affinity than (I) are therefore generally more potent and in vivo

require a lower therapeutic dose.

The compounds can be administered orally or parenterally

Suppositories are administered. The compounds are active ingredients in the usual way

Dosage forms, e.g. in compositions consisting essentially of an inert pharmaceutical

Carrier and an effective dose of the active ingredient, e.g. Tablets, coated tablets, capsules,

Wafers, powders, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups, suppositories, etc. In emergencies it would be conceivable to use the compounds in combination to be applied, the dosage then having to be correspondingly lower than in the case of oral application.

The connections mentioned are generally good

well tolerated and practically non-toxic

for example the substance 4- (2-chlorophenyl) -9-methyl-2- [3 (4-morpholine) -3-propananon-1-yl] -6H-thieno- [3,2-f] [1,2,4 ] - triazolo [4,3-a] [1,4] diazeρin an LD ₅₀ of 1960 mg / kg po, the substance 6- (2-chlorophenyl) -8,9-dihydro-1-methyl-8 - [( 4-morpholinyl) carbonyl] -4H, 7H-cycloρenta- [4,5] thieno- [3,2-f] [1,2,4] triazolo [4,3-a] [1,4] diazepine an LD ₅₀ of 4600 mg / kg po.
