Abstract

A sticking plaster for controlled release of natural human&agr;-interferon for use in viral therapies, in particular anti-herpes therapies, comprises a thin flexible support and a layered adhesive forming a matrix, a therapeutically effective quantity of the interferon being dispersed in said matrix.

Description

ADHERABLE EMPLASTO FOR CONTROLLED RELEASE OF NATURAL INTERFERON DESCRIPTION BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to an adhesive plaster for the controlled release of natural interferon for the treatment of viral infections, in particular herpes infections. More particularly, the invention relates to an adhesive plaster for the controlled release of a natural human a-interferon (nHualFN) derived from leukocytic or lymphoblastoid cells, for use in therapies designed to combat genital or labial herpes infections (caused by HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses), Zoster herpes (HZV), Zoster's neuritis (HZV) and flat warts (HPV). For some time, nHualFN has been used in studies in the field of viral infections and a clearly defined function has been found in recent years in therapies agt chronic and acute viral pathologies, where this is considered to be a "first choice of drug". " Most of the mechanism by which nHualFN acts is known depending on its direct interaction with the target cells and / or the induction of a biological response in the host organism.
The activity of α-interferon as an immunomodulator plays an important role at the organic level in the defense mechanisms agt viral infections. nHualFN is administered parenterally (intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously), orally or topically (ointments and eye washes). Usually the recommended doses are in the order of millions of U. (Units of International Measures) for parenteral administrations, hundreds of thousands of U. for topical preparations and hundreds of U. for oral administrations. These administrations (excluding oral administrations) are prejudged by a series of more or less serious impediments, which make interferon therapy unattractive to patients. The most notable interval of alterations of serious side effects, such as nausea, vomiting or clouding of the senses, which requires the interruption of therapy, to some less significant ones, such as the repetition of problems of the administrations and the unctuousness of the ointments. Furthermore, as a result of the rapid decrease in plasma concentrations of the active ingredient, it is sometimes necessary to resort to overdose in order to achieve satisfactory pharmacological effects, at the risk of generating serious side effects and very high costs in therapy (the therapy is an assistance that is practiced in hospitals or clinics).
Therefore, there is a need for a formulation designed to deal with the aforementioned pathologies when diagnosed with certy, which could allow reducing the dose of nHualFN, without altering its therapeutic effectiveness, and that can be used with a more pleasant method of administration and have more durable and resistant pharmacological effects. The authors of this invention have developed an adhesive plaster for the controlled release of nHualFN which overcomes the drawbacks of known formulations.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In fact, the application of an occlusive medication and a controlled release system allows small doses of nHualFN to be administered in the precise place where the viral lesion is located. The msubject of the invention consists of an adhesive plaster for the controlled release of natural human a-interferon for local transcutaneous absorption comprising: a thin inert flexible support comprising an inner side and an outer side; an adhesive with layers on the inner side of said surface to form a matrix; a therapeutically effective amount of said interferon dispersed in the matrix, wherein said support is not a repellent for said matrix, but is a repellent for interferon.
Preferably the support is on a polyurethane base. Preferably, the adhesive comprises substances on an acrylic base. The amounts of nHualFN present are preferably 150 U.I., (International Measuring Units) at 150,000 U.I., more preferably 150 U.I., at 1500 U.I., 15,000 U.I. or 150,000 U.I., in which, in the opinion of the doctors, the dosage would be allowed to vary. Normally the adhesive plaster has an application autonomy of 24 hours. The adhesive plaster should preferably comprise a release strip, such as an inner side protection element, which can be removed at the time of its application, substantially with the same dimensions as the support and preferably manufactured with a central pre-cut. It would be an advantage if the adhesive plaster was available in different forms, to facilitate its use in practice: a square shape and anatomical shapes for the specific parts of the body.DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITY The invention will now be described for purposes of illustration, not limitation, with reference to the method used to prepare a 3 x 3 cm adhesive plaster. An adhesive plaster for transcutaneous absorption, for the controlled release of nHualFN derived from leukocytic or lymphoblastoid cells, was prepared as follows: on a plastic support with a square shape and rounded corners, measuring 3 x 3 cm, a matrix is expanded that consists of: an acrylic base, an acrylic acid, etiiénic glycol, a solution of alcohol and water and nHualFN of the desired type and dosage, which in turn is covered with a removable protective layer (liberadora) manufactured with a central precut. Although this description has been described for purposes of illustration, not limitation, according to the preferred forms in which it is to be manufactured, it will be understood that those skilled in the art can make variations and / or modifications in this field, without leaving for this reason the scope of protection.
