ABSTRACT The invention relates to a method of treating inflam- (gl.2 mation employing certain aminomethylphenol [58] Field s I 260/570 9 pounds and to pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
9 Claims, No Drawings PHENOL COMPOUNDS IN TREATING PAIN, FEVER AND INFLAMMATION SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the use of aminomethylphenols containing halogen and alkyl substituents as medicinal agents. These compounds exhibitanti-inflammatory activity and are particularly useful as topical and systemic agents.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There has been much research carried on in the past for development of anti-inflammatory drugs. As a resuit, a great many new drugs have been synthesized. Most of these have been steroids of the ll-oxygenated pregnane series. These, while highly effective, have the drawback of causing many side effects. There has also been a concentrated effort in anti-inflammatory research in indole, indenes and phenylacetic acids among others with the result of many useful drugs. We have found that certain aminomethylphenols also are valuable anti-inflammatory agents.
DESCRIPTION AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS wherein R is, C loweralkyl, such as propyl, isopropyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, t-amyl and the like, but especially t-butyl and isopropyl and R is halogen, such 'as chloro, bromo, fluoro and iodo, andespecially iodo and chloro, in a non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Also included are their non-toxic pharmaceutically acceptable salts, suchas hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, sulfuric, methanesulfonic, isethionic acid and thelike. Salts may also be prepared from the alkali metal bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide and the like.
.The non-toxic pharmaceutical carrier may be, for example, either a solid or a liquid. Exemplary of solid carriers are lactose, corn starch, gelatin, talc, sterotix, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, terra alba, sucrose, agar, pectin and acacia. Exemplary of liquid carriers are peanut oil, olive oil, seasame oil, propylene glycol, glycerine, ethanol and water..Similarly, the carrier or diluent may include a time delay material such as glyc- H eryl monostearate or glyceryl distearate alone or with a WHX.
Severalpharmaceutical forms-of the therapeutically useful compositions can .be used. For example, if a solid carrier is used, thecompositions may take the form of tablets, capsules, powders, troches or lozenges, prepared by standard pharmaceutical techniques. lf a liquid carrier is used, the preparation may be in the form ofa soft gelatin capsule, a syrup, an aqueous solution or aliquid suspension. Suppositories may be prepared in a conventional manner by mixing the compounds of this invention with a suitable nonirritating excipient which is solid at room temperature, but liquid at the rectal temperature. Such materials are cocoa butter and polyethylene glycol.
The active compounds are administered in an amount sufficient to treat inflammation; thatis, to reduce inflammation. Advantageously, the compositions will contain the active ingredient in an amount of from about 0.1 mg. to 50 mg. per kg. body weight per day (5 mg. to 3.5 g. per patient per day), preferably from about 1 mg. to 15 mg. per kg. body weight per day (50 mg. to l g. per patient per day).
In a particularly preferred aspect of this invention, the aminomethylphenols are used as topical anti-inflammatory agents and are particularly effective in topical treatment of dermatological disorders and like conditions, such as dermatitis (actinic, atopic, contact, eczematoid, seborrheic and stasis), dermatitis herpetiformis, lichen planus, neurodermatitis, intitrigo, lichen simplex chronicus, and pruritus, as well as for topical treatment of inflammation of the respiratory and intestinal mucosa such as allergic rhinitis, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, colitis and the like. These aminomethylphenols are ordinarily administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition comprising the active compound in combination with a pharmacologically acceptable carrier adapted for topical administration. These topical pharmaceutical compositions may be in the form of a-cream, ointment, gel or aerosol formulation adapted for application to the skin for treatment of dermatoses; or it may be in the formof a solution, suspension or aerosoLadapted for topical spray application to respiratory passages for treatment of nasal allergies, bronchial inflammation, and the like; or in the form of suppositories or enclosed in enteric capsules for treatment of intestinal inflammations. For treatment of dermatological disorders, these topical pharmaceutical compositions containing the aminomethylphenols ordinarily include about 0.01 to 2 percent, preferably about 0.5 percent, of the active compound in admixture with 99.75 to 99.99 percent (preferably 99.90 percent) of gel vehicle comprising water, at least one organic solvent, and at least one thickening agent. The water ordinarily constitutes from about 8 to 18 percent of the gel vehicle, preferably about 13 percent. The organic solvent ordinarily constitutes about 60 to percent of the gel vehicle. Representative solvents are ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerine, 2-octyldodecanol and N-methylpyrrolidine, and preferably isopropyl alcohol; propylene glycol mixtures at a ratio of 0.5 to 0.6 parts isopropyl alcohol to 1.0 parts propylene glycol. The solubility of the aminomethylphenol compounds in the solvent'syiteffl selected should be such as to obtain maximum partitioning of the active compound from 1 the vehicle to the skin. The thickening agent, preferably hydfoxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose,
and the like, ordinarily constitutes from 0.5 to 4.0 percent of the gel vehicle. Optionally, a stabilizing agent, such as disodium edetate, sodium citrate, dipotassium edetate, citric acid, and the like, in the proportion of about'"0.02 to 0.5 percent of the gel vehicle may be employed, if desired.
, Apreferredtopical pharmaceutical composition is prepared as follows: About 2.60 g. of hydroxypropyl cellulose is added to a solution of 0.05 g. of disodium edetate in. 13.00 g. purified water while agitating the mixture and maintaining the temperature at about 60C, and the agitation is continued until the hydroxypropyl cellulose is completely dispersed and wetted. To the resulting dispersed mixture is added, with agitation, a solution containing 0.1 g. of, for example, 2 1 aminomethyl-4-t-butyl-6-fluorophenol hydrochloride dispersed in a mixture of 30.00 g. of anhydrous isopropyl :alcohol and 54.25 g. of propylene glycol. The resulting gel mixture is stirred vigorously at room temperature fora period of approximately minutes thereby forming a pharmaceutical composition adapted for the treatment of topical anti-inflammatory conditions.
Various tests in animals have been carried out to show the ability of the compounds described herein to exhibit reactions that can be correlated with anti-inflammatory activity in humans. One such test used is. the mouse ear test which -is.known to correlate well with anti-inflammatory activity in humans and is a standard test used to determine anti-inflammatory activity.
The following examples are given by way of illustratron:
EXAMPLE 1 A mixture of 250 partsof 2-aminomethyl-4-t-butyl 6r bromophenol and 25 parts of lactose is granulated with suitable water, and to this is added 100 parts of maize starch.

They are then compressed into tablets suitable for oral administration- 25, 100 or 500 parts of 2-aminomethyl-4-t-butyl-6- bromophenol may be used in place of 250 parts above to produce tablets suitable for oral administration according to'the method of this invention.
EXAMPLE 2 'A mixture of 50 parts of 2-aminomethyl-4-t-buty1-6- chlorophenol, 3 parts of the calcium salt of lignin sulfonic acidand'237 parts of water is ball-milled until the size of substantially all of the particles is less than 10 microns. The suspension is diluted with a solution containing 3 parts of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.9 parts of the butyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid in 300 parts of water. There is thus obtained an aqueous suspension suitable for oral administration for therapeutic purposes. 7
