Definitions

• the present invention relates to a new therapeutic application of lamotrigine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this compound.
• Lamotrigine and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this compound are described as anticonvulsants and antiepileptics in particular in patent EP 247892.
• this compound can also be used in the treatment of neurological lesions linked to traumas and, in particular, to spinal, cranial or cranio-spinal traumas.
• lamotrigine decreases the neurological deficit of the animals (paraplegia) linked to the lesion of the spinal cord as well as the histopathological lesions (necrosis of the cord). This reduction is generally equal to or greater than 5%.
• a) preparation of the animal the rabbits are injected intramuscularly with 5 mg of valium® and 1/16 mg of atropine. 30 minutes later, an isotonic saline infusion is set up and the rabbits are anesthetized by injection 40 mg / kg slow intravenous injection of Nesdonal®. We then put in place a cardioscope because the animal may present, especially during re-injections of Nesdonal®, lasting apnea with bradycardia.
• PES somesthesic evoked potentials
• the trauma is carried out by inflating the balloon of a Fogarty French 3 probe placed in the spinal canal in the extradural position. For this, we perform a low lumbar laminectomy. The opening of the yellow ligament allows the passage of the probe up to the level of the first lumbar vertebra and the operating wound is closed. A new PES is recorded to ensure that there is no functional lesion during the passage of the probe. The lesion is then carried out by inflating the balloon with variable amounts of air (0.2; 0.4 and 0.55 ml of air) then the probe is removed. A new PES is performed just after the trauma and is compared (amplitudes and latencies) to the reference PES.
• the product is injected intraperitoneally once a day for 5 days, at doses between 1 and 8 mg / kg.
• a spinal cord block is taken comprising the injured level which is placed in 10% formalin. A week later, the cord is extracted from the block (this fixation period seems necessary to avoid post-mortem injury). A hemorrhagic area visible to the naked eye shows the level of trauma. Staged histological sections specify the extent of the lesions.
• lamotrigine makes it possible to decrease the neurological deficit linked to the lesion of the spinal cord, to protect the sensitive neurological pathways and to decrease the necrotic hemorrhagic zone within the gray substance of the spinal cord. These decreases are generally equal to or greater than 5%.
• lamotrigine improves the neurological score of animals that have suffered a head trauma and reduces necrotic lesions. This reduction is generally equal to or greater than 5%.
• salts As pharmaceutically acceptable salts, mention may in particular be made of addition salts with mineral acids such as hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate or organic salts such as acetate, propionate, succinate, oxalate, benzoate, fumarate. maleate, methanesulfonate, isethionate, theophillin-acetate, salicylate, phenolphthalinate, methylene-bis- ⁇ -oxynaphtoate or substitution derivatives of these derivatives.
• mineral acids such as hydrochloride, sulfate, nitrate, phosphate or organic salts such as acetate, propionate, succinate, oxalate, benzoate, fumarate. maleate, methanesulfonate, isethionate, theophillin-acetate, salicylate, phenolphthalinate, methylene-bis- ⁇ -oxynaphtoate or substitution derivatives of these derivatives.
• the medicaments consist of at least lamotrigine in free form or in the form of an addition salt with a pharmaceutically acceptable acid, in the pure state or in the form of a composition in which it is associated with any other pharmaceutical product. compatible, possibly inert or physiologically active.
• the medicaments according to the invention can be used orally or parenterally.
• compositions for oral administration tablets, pills, powders (gelatin capsules, cachets) or granules can be used.
• the active principle according to the invention is mixed with one or more inert diluents, such as starch, cellulose, sucrose, lactose or silica, under a stream of argon.
• these compositions can also include substances other than thinners, for example one or more lubricants such as magnesium stearate or talc, a colorant, a coating (dragees) or a varnish.
• compositions for oral administration there can be used pharmaceutically acceptable solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups and elixirs containing diluents .
• inert such as water, ethanol, glycerol, vegetable oils or paraffin oil.
• These compositions can include substances other than diluents, for example wetting, sweetening, thickening, flavoring or stabilizing products.
• the sterile compositions for parenteral administration can preferably be aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, suspensions or emulsions.
• solvent or vehicle water, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, vegetable oils, in particular olive oil, injectable organic esters, for example ethyl oleate or other organic solvents can be used. suitable.
• These compositions can also contain adjuvants, in particular wetting agents, isotonizers, emulsifiers, dispersants and stabilizers. Sterilization can be done in several ways, for example by aseptic filtration, by incorporating sterilizing agents into the composition, by irradiation or by heating. They can also be prepared in the form of sterile solid compositions which can be dissolved at the time of use in sterile water or any other sterile injectable medium.
• the doses depend on the desired effect, on the duration of the treatment and on the route of administration used; they are generally between 50 and 800 mg per day by the oral route for an adult with unit doses ranging from 25 to 200 mg of active substance and between 25 and 600 mg per day by the intravenous route for an adult with unit doses ranging from 12.5 to 200 mg of active substance.
• the doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on age, weight and all other factors specific to the subject to be treated.
• Example A illustrate medicaments according to the invention:
• Tablets containing 50 mg of active product having the following composition are prepared according to the usual technique:
• capsules containing 50 mg of active product having the following composition are prepared:
• a solution for injection containing 10 mg of active product having the following composition is prepared:
• the invention also relates to the process for the preparation of medicaments useful in the treatment of neurological lesions linked to traumas and, in particular, to spinal, cranial or craniospinal traumas, consisting in mixing the lamotrigine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this compound. with one or more compatible and pharmaceutically acceptable diluents and / or adjuvants.
• the invention also relates to a method of treatment of a mammal and, in particular, of a man presenting with neurological lesions linked to traumas and, in particular, to spinal, cranial or craniospinal traumas, comprising the administration of an effective amount of lamotrigine or the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this compound.
