Abstract
The invention relates to preparations comprising vitamin B12 and a butanol, and to the use of butanol for stabilizing vitamins.
Description
- The invention relates to preparations comprising vitamin B12 and a butanol, and to the use of butanol for stabilizing vitamins.
- It is generally known that vitamins are not very stable and degradation is to be observed for example on storage. This also applies to the so-called B vitamins, explicitly vitamin B12. For this reason, there have been very many studies on the topic of the stabilization of vitamins and of vitamin B12. A simple solution to this problem is for example separating the vitamin B12 from substances which promote its degradation. Thus, for example, JP200612486 describes 3 partial solutions in which individual partial formulations are present. Vitamin B12 is stabilized not only in liquid formulations, but also in tablets or granules, as described for example in EP416773. Most of the studies on the stabilization of vitamin B12 relate however to liquid formulations. Such solutions can also be used to fill capsules (FR1472901), or the solutions are freeze dried for further stabilization (JP63313736). Among the vitamin B12 solutions ready for use there are some stabilized by the addition of iron salts (FR1285213, GB902377). The solutions may likewise comprise EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, U.S. Pat. No. 2,939,821 or GB822127). Alkali metal salts or alkaline earth metal salts are also said to have a stabilizing effect on vitamin B12 (U.S. Pat. No. 2,566,123). Vitamins can also take place by use of amino acids (U.S. Pat. No. 2,748,054) or by cyclodextrins (JP4049239), as well as by ammonium sulphate (U.S. Pat. No. 2,778,771), by sodium iodide (JP41007474), potassium cyanide (GB692968), maleic acid (JP64011864), thiopropionic acid (U.S. Pat. No. 2,579,679), gluconolactone (ES247522), lecithins (JP55049313), urea (JP43010862) or else by fatty acid esters with cysteine (U.S. Pat. No. 2,662,048) or by antioxidants (DE25222187) and so-called chelating agents (WO97/31620). Even solutions in N-methylpyrrolidone DE3337304 are described, in which vitamin B12 is said to be stable. In some studies, vitamin B12 is stabilized through the use of polyvalent alcohols (JP2311417, JP63313736, JP05124967, FR1263794, JP04-235925, JP2000-319186 or HU150885). The use of alcohols for stabilizing vitamin B12 is proposed generally in JP2005247800, WO2005/094842, WO02/02145, BE576619 or JP02145521. US2005074443 describes long-chain alcohols for stabilizing vitamin B12. However, vitamin B12 itself is also used in turn to stabilize other substances (JP2001-048780, JP2005-015368).
- Thus, in JP46-15320 propylene glycol is employed for isotonicity and benzyl alcohol as analgesic. The actual stabilization is achieved by dextran and gelatin (hydrophilic macromolecules). In JP45-011919, the alcohols propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, mannitol or glycerol are described for stabilizing 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl cobamide coenzyme.
- A possible way of stabilizing vitamin B12 through the use of butanol has been found. Although JP2005247800 mentions alcohols for stabilizing vitamin B12, for example the chlorobutanol contained therein is unsuitable specifically for the solution used in this case and is, on the contrary, harmful. Likewise, the benzyl alcohol contained in JP46-15320 or JP45-011919 is distinctly disadvantageous for the formulation described herein, because benzyl alcohol cannot be metabolized by all animals (EMEA, Committee for veterinary medicinal products, summary report, benzyl alcohol, 1997) and formulations with benzyl alcohol therefore cannot be employed as widely as formulations with butanol.
- The invention relates to:
-
- A preparation comprising vitamin B12 and butanol.
- The use of such a preparation for the manufacture of a medicament.
- The use of butanol for stabilizing vitamin B12.
- The use of butanol for producing preparations of vitamin B12 with improved vitamin B12 stability.
- Vitamin B12 in the narrower sense frequently means cyanocobalamin, but there are also other compounds which are likewise covered by the generic term vitamin B12; these are also referred to as cobalamins. It is intended herein that the term vitamin B12 generally means all compounds which act as coenzyme in the human and/or animal body or can be converted into the corresponding coenzyme forms. These vitamin B12 compounds have in common the Corrin structure with a trivalent cobalt as central atom and with a 5,5-dimethylbenzimidazole residue which is alpha-glycosidically linked via D-ribofuranose 3-phosphate. Most cobalamins differ from one another merely in one axial substituent. Examples of compounds which can be employed as vitamin B12 are: cyanocobalamin (axial substituent=CN), aquocobalamin (B12a, axial substituent=—O+H2), hydroxocobalamin (B12b, axial substituent=—OH), nitritocobalamin (B12C, axial substituent=—NO2), 5′-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (coenzyme B12, axial substituent=5′-deoxyadenosyl) and methylcobalamin (methyl B12, axial substituent=—CH3). Adenosylcobalamin and methylcobalamin are the real active forms (coenzyme forms), and aquocobalamin and hydroxocobalamin are storage forms which likewise occur in the body.
- According to a preferred embodiment, the preparations according to the invention additionally comprise a pharmacologically acceptable phosphonic acid derivative. Pharmacologically acceptable phosphonic acid derivatives which can be employed according to the invention are normally organic compounds which are suitable as metabolic stimulants and tonics in particular for productive and domestic animals. Preferred examples which may be mentioned are the compounds butaphosphan and toldimfos which have been known for a long time and are used inter alia for mineral supplementation (phosphorus).
- Butaphosphan has the chemical name (1-butylamino-1-methyl)ethylphosphonic acid and has the structural formula
- Butaphosphan is normally employed as free acid.
- Toldimfos has the chemical name (4-dimethylamino-o-tolyl)phosphonic acid and has the following structural formula
- Toldimfos is normally employed as sodium salt.
- The present invention encompasses both the use of the free active ingredients and of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, and the use of the corresponding hydrates and solvates of the compounds or their salts.
- Vitamin B12 is typically employed in the medicaments according to the invention in a proportion of from 0.00001 to 0.1%, preferably 0.0001 to 0.05% and particularly preferably from 0.001 to 0.01%. Here and hereinafter—unless indicated otherwise—the percentage data mean percent (M/V). This means: mass of the relevant substance in grams per 100 ml of finished solution.
- Butanol refers to isomeric aliphatic alcohols which have an alkyl chain with four carbon atoms; they may be linear or branched, specifically as n-butanol, sec-butanol, tert-butanol and isobutanol. Isobutanol and n-butanol are preferred, and especially n-butanol.
- Butanol is normally employed in concentrations of from 0.1 to 10%, preferably from 0.5 to 7% and particularly preferably from 1 to 5%. The percentage data mean % (M/V).
- The pharmacologically active phosphonic acids, such as, for example, toldimfos or, in particular, butaphosphan, are employed in the medicaments according to the invention in a proportion of from 0.1 to 40%, preferably 1 to 30% and particularly preferably 5 to 20%.
- The preparations according to the invention are preferably liquid and normally comprise water or a water-miscible substance as solvent. Examples which may be mentioned are glycerol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, tolerated alcohols such as ethanol or benzyl alcohol, N-methyl-pyrrolidone, propylene carbonate, glycofurol, dimethylacetamide, 2-pyrrolidone, isopropylidene-glycerol, or glycerolformal. The solvents can also be employed in mixtures or combinations. Water-based formulations are preferred and may, of course, comprise further solvents and cosolvents.
- The liquid formulation may comprise as solvent apart from water or water-miscible substances also oils in the form of an emulsion. Mention may be made in this connection of vegetable, animal and synthetic oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, soya oil, medium chain triglycerides of a chain length of C12-C18, propylene glycol octanoate decanoate or else paraffin.
- The solvent (or solvent mixture) is normally present in concentrations of up to 98%, preferably up to 90%, particularly preferably up to 87%. The concentrations of the solvent are ordinarily over 65%, preferably over 75%, particularly preferably over 85%. The percentage data mean % (M/V).

- The acids can be used with a proportion of from 0.0001 to 20%, preferably 0.01 to 10%.
- The medicaments of the invention can be manufactured by dispersing the vitamin in the solvent. The vitamin can be dispersed directly or, for quantitative conversion, by using a stock solution in the solvent. Apart from the actual solvent it is possible also to use other solvents as stock solution. Where appropriate, the pharmacologically acceptable phosphonic acid derivative is likewise dispersed in the solvent. The butanol or mixtures of butanol and solvent are added. Cosolvents and further ingredients such as, for example, antioxidants may have been added to the solvent or can be admixed later. The pH is adjusted, e.g. with a base. To protect the vitamin B12, parts of the manufacture and filling of the solutions can take place under a protective gas atmosphere, e.g. introducing nitrogen gas.
- Alternatively, butanol and, where appropriate, also the pharmacologically acceptable phosphonic acid derivative can initially be dissolved in the solvent and then the vitamin B12 can be added.
