Description

COMPOSITION FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC VENOUS
INSUFFICIENCIES COMPRISING AN EXTRACT OF RED VINE LEAVES
AND AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENT
BACK-GROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field The invention relates to compositions comprising an effective dose of an aqueous extract of red vine leaves and an anti-inflammatory agent for preventing or alleviating mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs. The composition according to this invention also includes acceptable pharmaceutical or cosmetic additives. In addition, the compositions according to this inventions decrease or prevent subjective symptoms such as lassitude (listlessness), heavy legs, tired legs, sensation of tension, and pain associated with swelling of calves and ankles due to disorder of leg venous flow.
2. Related Art Presently, there are millions of people around the world who suffer from mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs. This common condition is characterized by an inadequacy of the venous circulation to return blood from the legs to the heart. The lack of adequate venous return results in venous stasis and an increased pressure within the venous circulation, promoting the development of oedema and tissular water retention.
Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) is a functional disorder caused by persistent inadequacy of the venous return and is characterized clinically by oedema, skin changes and subjective complaints such as tired, heavy legs, pain or tingling sensations, which are typically amplified by standing upright and by high ambient temperatures. This dysfunction may be a source of major distress with a significant negative impact on the patient's overall well-being and quality of life.
Early stages (grade I) are characterized by coronal phlebectasia paraplantaris, subfascial congestion and oedema; grade II CVI is associated with low-grade skin changes, eczema and lipodeiniatosclerosis. If untreated, grades I and II often progress to an advanced stage characterized by recurrent venous leg ulcers (grade III). The stress caused by the symptoms, even when relatively mild initially, and the risk of later complications call for appropriate supportive and preventive measures to be initiated in the early stages of CVI.

Although some patients, even at early stages, might require surgery (sclerotherapy and variceal surgery), the use of compression stockings with or without additional physiotherapy is the most common treatment approach. The effect of compression is merely mechanical, i.e. this approach does not affect or correct the related biological dysfunction (capillary fragility in particular). Furthermore, the treatment with compression stockings often lacks compliance because of cosmetic concerns and the overall inconvenience of the compressive stockings, in the summer in particular. Therefore there is an urgent need for alternative approaches that are effective, well-tolerated and more convenient.
This extract of red vine leaves contains Rayon (ol) -glycosides, -glucuronides and flavonoids, with quercetin-3-0-beta-D-glucuronide and isoquercitrin (quercetin-3-0-beta-glucoside) as its main active ingredients. The range of their pharmacological actions has not yet been fully elucidated, but in-vitro studies indicate that they have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and that they inhibit platelet aggregation and hyaluronidase and reduce oedema, possibly by reducing capillary permeability. Preclinical in-vivo experiments demonstrated anti-inflammatory and capillary wall thickening effects.
Dietary supplements including an aqueous extract of red vine leaves are disclosed to prevent and reduce the discomfort relating to mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs in WO 01/28363. However, there are no hints to compositions comprising an aqueous extract of red vine leaves and other active ingredients such as anti-inflammatory agents given by WO 01/28363.
The German utility model DE 202 09 650 discloses a recipe of an aqueous balm for the care of legs of persons having venous discomfort comprising an extract of red vine leaves, Aloe Vera, extracts of Calendulae and horse chestnut, lavender oil, vitamins, and other ingredients.
However, there is no hint to the prevention and reduction the discomfort relating to mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Surprisingly, potentiation of anti-inflammatory and anti-oedematous action, index of pharmacological activities of an aqueous extract of red vine leaves, is found by combination of an anti-inflammatory agent with an aqueous extract of red vine leaves comparing the action itself. Moreover, composing mild anti-inflammatory agents resulted in safe compositions whose efficacy is potentiated for preventing and alleviating discomfort relating to mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs with minimum or no adverse reactions.
The new compositions comprising an anti-inflammatory agent and an aqueous extract of red vine leaves potentiate the efficacy of prevention or relaxation for mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.

Therefore, this invention relates to new external compositions that comprise an effective dose of an aqueous extract of red vine leaves and an anti-inflammatory agent as pharmacological active substances and their efficacies are potentiated for preventing and relaxing mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
OBJECTIVE OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
A primary objective of this invention provides more effective external compositions for preventing and alleviating the discomfort associated with mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
A further objective of this invention provides more effective external compositions including herb components and an anti-inflammatory agent. The herb components were manufactured pursuant to a controlled process that preserves the herbal effectiveness of the ingredients for preventing and/or alleviating the discomfort associated with mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
Another objective of this invention provides more effective external compositions including herb components and an anti-inflammatory agent with minimum or no adverse event for safety of topical administration that prevent and/or alleviate the discomfort associated with mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
The other objective of this invention provides more effective external pharmaceutical compositions and more effective external medicated cosmetic compositions for preventing and/or alleviating the discomfort associated with mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to external compositions for preventing or alleviating the discomfort associated with mild-to-moderate chronic venous insufficiency of the legs including an effective dose of an aqueous extract of red vine leaves and an anti-inflammatory agent.
The external composition of this invention consists of herbal ingredients derived from an aqueous extraction (Extractum vitis viniferae e folium spissum et siccum) of red vine leaves Voila vitis viniferae) and an anti-inflammatory agent.
The primary active ingredient of the external composition is the aqueous extract of red vine leaves (foliae vitis viniferae L.).
The teini "aqueous extract of red vine leaves" in this invention means the aqueous or solid aqueous extract of red vine leaves manufactured pursuant to a controlled process that preserves the herbal effectiveness of the ingredients. The term "dried extract of red vine leaves" in this invention means dried pure extract of the above aqueous extract of red vine leaves. The term "soft extract of red vine leaves" in this invention means soft extracts which is concentrated from 5 - 7 part of red vine leaves to one part. The term "liquid extract of red vine leaves" in this invention means liquid extracts which is prepared by resolving of soft extract of red vine leaves with solvent (60(VN)% ethanol / water) by the ratio of 1: 1.
Red vine leaves as starting material for the aqueous extract of red vine leaves in this invention is also known as "dyer" which are leaves of vitis vinifera LINNE with blackish-blue pericarp and a red pulp. Concentration of each polyphenol compound in red vine leaves and its composition are affected by various ecophysiological factors around. It is preferred that dried leaves of red vine containing at least 4 % of total polyphenols and 0.2 % of anthocyans are used as starting material in this invention. Red vine leaves characterized like those are harvested at a point of time where the content of flavonoids has reached an optimum i.e.
around the harvesting time of the grapes. Moreover, less than 15 cm length and less than 12 cm width of red vine leaves are preferable. The leaves are carefully dried and crushed. For extraction the leaves are cut to pieces of preferably 5 to 10 mm. To achieve a high content of flavonoids the extraction is done using purified water at elevated temperature, preferably at a temperature in the range of 60 to 80 C, over a time of at least 6 up to 10 hours. The preferred method is that of an exhaustive percolation.
The so-called fluid extract obtained in the process of the extraction may be directly used in the preparation of liquid dosage forms. In order to get a more concentrated extract, at least a part of the solvent is removed by use of a suitable evaporator preferably.
The thick extract is sterilized under heated-compressed condition, preferably at a temperature from 120 to 150 C for 1 up to 30 seconds, more preferably at a temperature from 140 to 145 C for 2 up to 5 seconds. The thick extract obtained in this step may again be directly used in the manufacturing of liquid dosage forms.
