Description of the invention

The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions based on of tiotropium salts and antihistamines, processes for their preparation and their use in the therapy of respiratory diseases.

Surprisingly, an unexpectedly beneficial therapeutic effect in particular a synergistic effect in the treatment of diseases of the upper and lower airways, especially in the treatment of allergic or Non-allergic rhinitis can be observed if one or more, preferably one Anticholinergic together with one or more, preferably one Antihistamine can be used.

The above effects are both with simultaneous application within a single active ingredient formulation as well as with successive application of the two active substances observed in separate formulations. According to the invention preference is given to the simultaneous application of the two active ingredient components in one single wording.

In the context of the present invention, tiotropium salts 1 are understood to be salts which contain tiotropium, the pharmacoligically active constituent, as a cation. In the context of the present patent application, a reference to the above cation is to be regarded by using the designation 1 ' . A reference to compounds 1 naturally includes a reference to component 1 ' (tiotropium).

The salts 1 which can be used in the context of the present invention are taken to mean the compounds which, in addition to tiotropium, contain chloride, bromide, iodide, methanesulfonate, para-toluenesulfonate or methyl sulfate as counterion (anion). Of the salts 1, methanesulfonate, chloride, bromide or iodide are preferred for the purposes of the present invention, methanesulfonate or bromide being of particular importance. The tiotropium bromide is of outstanding importance as salt 1 .

In the context of the present invention, antihistamines (hereinafter 2 ) are understood to mean compounds which are selected from the group consisting of epinastin, cetirizine, azelastine, fexofenadine, levocabastine, loratadine, mizolastine, ketotifen, emedastine, dimetindene, clemastine, bamipine, cexchlorpheniramine, Pheniramine, doxylamine, chlorophenoxamine, dimenhydrinate, diphenhydramine, promethazine, ebastine, desloratidine and meclozin.

Compound 2 is preferably selected from the group consisting of epinastin, cetirizine, azelastine, fexofenadine, levocabastine, loratadine, ebastine, desloratidine and mizolastine, epinastine and desloratidine being particularly preferred as compound 2 according to the invention. Epinastine is most preferably used as compound 2 in the context of the present invention.

In the context of the present invention, a reference to the above-mentioned antihistamines 2 includes a reference to their pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts which may exist.

According to the invention, the physiologically compatible acid addition salts which can be formed by 2 are understood to be pharmaceutically compatible salts which are selected from the salts of hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, methanesulfonic acid, acetic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid or maleic acid , According to the invention, preference is given to the salts of the compounds 2 which are selected from the group consisting of acetate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, phosphate and methanesulfonate. Hydrochlorides and hydrobromides are particularly preferred in this context. In the case of epinastine, which is particularly preferred according to the invention, epinastine hydrochloride is of outstanding importance.

The pharmaceutical combinations according to the invention from 1 and 2 are preferably administered by inhalation or as a nasal administration. Suitable inhalable powders, which are filled into suitable capsules (inhalettes) and applied by means of appropriate powder inhalers, can be used. As an alternative, inhalative use can also be carried out by applying suitable inhalation aerosols. This also includes inhalation aerosols which contain, for example, HFA134a (also called TG134a), HFA227 (also called TG227) or their mixture as propellant. The inhalation application can also take place by means of suitable solutions of the drug combination consisting of 1 and 2 .

If the drug combination consisting of 1 and 2 is applied nasally, suitable solutions that are applied by means of appropriate pumps can be used. Alternatively, nasal application can also be carried out by applying suitable powders.

One aspect of the present invention accordingly relates to a medicament which contains a combination of 1 and 2 .

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a medicament which contains one or more salts 1 and one or more compounds 2 , optionally in the form of their solvates or hydrates. Here too, the active substances can either be contained together in a single dosage form or in two separate dosage forms. According to the invention, preference is given to medicaments which contain the active compounds 1 and 2 in a single administration form.

Another aspect of the present invention relates to a medicament which, in addition to therapeutically effective amounts of 1 and 2, contains a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a medicament which, in addition to therapeutically effective amounts of 1 and 2, contains no pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

The present invention further relates to the use of 1 and 2 for the production of a therapeutically effective amount of medicament containing 1 and 2 for the treatment of diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, in particular for the treatment of allergic or non-allergic rhinitis

The present invention further aims at the simultaneous or successive use of therapeutically effective doses of the combination of the above drugs 1 and 2 for the treatment of diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract, in particular for the treatment of allergic or non-allergic rhinitis.

In the active compound combinations according to the invention from 1 and 2 , constituents 1 and 2 can be present in the form of their enantiomers, mixtures of the enantiomers or in the form of the racemates.

The ratios in which the two active ingredients 1 and 2 can be used in the active ingredient combinations according to the invention are variable. The active ingredients 1 and 2 may optionally be in the form of their solvates or hydrates. Depending on the choice of compounds 1 and 2 , the weight ratios which can be used in the context of the present invention vary on account of the different molecular weight of the different compounds and on the basis of their different potency. As a rule, the pharmaceutical combinations according to the invention can contain the compounds 1 and 2 in weight ratios which are in a range from 1: 300 to 50: 1, preferably from 1: 250 to 40: 1. In the particularly preferred pharmaceutical combinations which contain tiotropium salt as compound 1 , the weight ratios of 1 to 2 are particularly preferably in a range in which tiotropium 1 ' and 2 are in ratios of 1: 150 to 30: 1, further preferably 1:50 up to 20: 1 are included. For example and without restricting the scope of the invention thereto, preferred combinations according to the invention of 1 and 2 tiotropium 1 ' and antihistamine 2 can contain the following weight ratios:
1:80; 1:79; 1:78; 1:77; 1: 76; 1:75; 1:74; 1:73; 1:72; 1:71; 1:70; 1:69; 1:68; 1:67; 1: 66; 1:65; 1:64; 1:63 l: 62; 1:61; 1:60; 1:59; 1:58; 1:57; 1:56; 1:55; 1:54; 1:53; 1:52; 1:51; 1:50; 1:49; 1:48; 1:47; 1:46; 1:45; 1:44; 1:43; 1:42; 1:41; 1:40; 1:39; 1:38; 1:37; 1:36; 1:35; 1:34; 1:33; 1:32; 1:31; 1:30; 1:29; 1:28; 1:27; 1:26; 1:25; 1:24; 1:23; 1:22; 1:21; 1:20; 1:19; 1:18; 1:17; 1:16; 1:15; 1:14; 1:13; 1:12; 1:11; 1:10; 1: 9; 1: 8; 1: 7; 1: 6; 1: 5; 1: 4; 1: 3; 1: 2; 1: 1; 2: 1; 3: 1; 4: 1; 5: 1; 6: 1; 7: 1; 8: 1; 9: 1; 10: 1; 11: 1; 12: 1; 13: 1; 14: 1; 15: 1; 16: 1; 17: 1; 18: 1; 19: 1; 20: 1.
