Description

SPECIFICATION Polymer compounds, process for their preparation and arteriosclerosis treating agents containing them The present invention relates to polymer compounds, process for their preparation and arteriosclerosis treating agents containing them.
Cholesterol absorption-inhibiting drugs have been proposed for treating lipidemia which is closely related to arteriosclerosis. Cholesterol is a precursor of steroid hormones such as adrenocortical hormone and sex hormone and is known to exhibit various important physiological effects. On the other hand, it has been pointed out that an abnormal increase of the cholesterol concentration in blood leads to various circulatory disorders such as arteriosclerosis. Among the cholesterol absorption inhibiting drugs, there is a class of drugs which are believed to reduce the cholesterol value in blood by absorbing bile acids which are believed to be the metabolites of cholesterol in the digestive organs. As examples of these materials, there are known a cross-linked polymer of styrene and divinylbenzene and a crosslinked polymer of polyethylenepolyamine and epichlorohydrin, as the units.However, there is still scope for improvement in terms of their effect as cholesterol absorption inhibiting drugs and/or their side effects.
In one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a compound which is a crosslinked polymer obtained from a nitrogen-containing compound selected from ammonia, ethylenediamine and a polyethylenepolyamine having a degree of repeating units of 2-1 500, and a bifunctional compound of the formula:: Y-M-Z wherein Y represents a -CH2X group (wherein X represents a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom) or a
group, M represents a single bond, a -(CH2)rn-group (wherein m represents 1, 2 or 3), a -CH2-0-CH2-group or-CH2-O-(CH2)k-O CH2-group (wherein k represents 1, 2, 3 or 4), and Z represents a -CH(OH)-CH2X group (wherein X is as hereinbefore defined) or
group, 20 percent or more of the nitrogen atoms of which are combined with lower alkyl groups to form a quaternary ammonium salt, or a pharmaceutically acceptable non-toxic salt thereof.

The arteriosclerosis treating agents in accordance with the present invention are believed to have various usefulnesses in the treatment and prevention of various kinds of diseases due to high blood lipids closely related to arteriosclerosis. For example, as shown in Test Example 1, as the result of comparing Samples a and b of the present invention with Samples d and c of Reference Examples 1 and 2, respectively, it can be seen that at pH = 7.00 simulating that of the intestinal juice which is thought to be the site of action of the cholesterol absorption inhibiting agents, Samples a and b exhibit excellent adsorptivity of cholic acid approximately 1.4 to 1.5 times as much as those of comparison.
In addition, as the result of the test on rats as shown in Test Example 2, it can be seen that Samples a and b, as compared with the Control group, remarkably exhibit the effect to reduce high blood lipids such as serum cholesterol, serum triglyceride, serum p-lipoprotein, liver cholesterol, liver lipids, etc. closely related to arteriosclerosis.
While in the case of lipidemia high level of serum triglyceride is generally observed, it is reported that commercial cholesterol absorption inhibiting drugs do not effect on the serum triglyceride level (see Yakkyoku, 25(7), 1133 (1 974)). As shown in Test Example 2, Sample b of the present invention also exhibits an excellent effect to reduce the serum triglyceride level to the normal level.
Taking into consideration that this type of cholesterol absorption inhibiting drug is to be administered in large dosages for a prolonged period from the nature of the drug, it is quite important from the clinical point of view that each dose is small and side effects are little, which therefore indicates that the polymer compounds in accordance with the present invention possess great usefulness.
While the invention has been described in detail and with reference to specific embodiments thereof, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made therein without departing from the scope thereof.
