Abstract
Description
Coffein-Kombination Caffeine combination
Die Erfindung umfaßt eine Coffein-Kombination aus Coffein und Nikotinsäureamid.The invention includes a caffeine combination of caffeine and nicotinic acid amide.
Coffein ist bereits mit zahlreichen anderen Substanzen kombiniert worden, so insbesondere mit Schmerzstillungsmitteln und mit kreislaufaktiven. Nun haben alle diese Kombinationen keinen Einfluß auf die physikalischen oder biochemischen Eigenschften des Coffeins bewirkt. Coffein sollte in all den bisher bekannzen Kombinationen zunächst nur die Wirkung bekannter Schmerzstillungs- oder Kreislaufmittel verbessern, rnehr nicht. Vor allem wurde ei all den Kombinationen niemals eine Verbesserung der physikalischen oder gar phar kologischen Eigenschaften des Coffeins erstrebt.Caffeine is already combined with numerous other substances especially with pain relievers and active circulatory drugs. so none of these combinations have any influence on the physical or biochemical Caffeine's properties. Caffeine should be used in all of the previously known combinations initially only improve the effect of known pain relievers or circulatory drugs, no more. Above all, none of the combinations was ever an improvement strives for the physical or even pharmaceutical properties of caffeine.
Demgemäß wurde gefunden, daß eine Kombination des Coffeins mit Nikotinsäureamid 1. eine Löslichkeit des Coffoins in Wasser mit neutralem pH bewirkt, eine Verbesserung der pharmakologischen Eijenschaften des Coffeins ergibt. insbesondere ergibt sich durch die Kombination ein leistungssteigernder Effekt, wie ein solcher bei geringer Toxizität von keinem bisher bekannten Stoff gegeben wird.Accordingly, it has been found that a combination of the caffeine with nicotinic acid amide 1. A solubility of the coffoin in water with neutral pH causes an improvement the pharmacological properties of caffeine. in particular it results through the combination, a performance-enhancing effect, such as one with low Toxicity is not given by any previously known substance.
Für die Kombinution eignen sich Mischverhältnisse von einem Teil Coffein auf 0,1 bis 5 Teile Nikotinsäureamid, zweckmäßig jedoch : 1, also ein Teil Coffein und ein Teil hsikotinsqureamid.Mixing ratios of one part of caffeine are suitable for the combination to 0.1 to 5 parts of nicotinic acid amide, expediently however: 1, that is to say one part of caffeine and part of hsikotinsqureamid.
Erfindungsgemäß soll aber diese Kombination durch Mischungsgrenzen nicht begrenzt werden. Demgemaß ist Gegenstand der Erfindung Präparate, welche Coffein und Nikotinsäureamid besitzen. Es können einer solchen Kombination noch Alalgetika, Kreislaufmittel, Vitamine oder Traubenzucker, Lezithin und ähnliche Stoffe zugesetzt werden. Die Kombination kann in Erfindungsgetränken, Weinen, Fruchtsäften, E3onbon und dergleichen angewendet und in konventioneller weise zubereitet werden.According to the invention, however, this combination should be limited by mixing limits not be limited. Accordingly, the invention relates to preparations which contain caffeine and nicotinic acid amide. Such a combination can also contain alalgesics, Circulatory drugs, vitamins or glucose, lecithin and similar substances added will. The combination can be used in invention drinks, wines, fruit juices, candy and the like applied and prepared in a conventional manner will.
In dieser Rinsicht obliegt der Erfindung keine begrenzung.In this regard, the invention is not limited.
Die Oberlegenheit und Reuigkeit der Erfindung zeigt sich un folgenden experimenten: @@gr @@@zen und 10 gr Nikotinsäureamid werden gut gemischt, dem für @ ml Wasser hinzu, erwärmt kurz und erhalt eine klare Lösungs anlichniges Coffein ist nicht wasserlöslich, was wie folgt gezeizeight wird: 10 gr Coffein werden mit 0 ml Wasser versetzt, Man erhält eine Suspension, die auch beim Erwärmen nicht in Lösung geht.The superiority and repentance of the invention are shown in the following Experiments: @@ gr @@@ zen and 10 gr nicotinic acid amide are mixed well for Add @ ml of water, heat briefly and obtain a clear solution of similar caffeine is not soluble in water, which is shown as follows: 10 grams of caffeine are added 0 ml of water are added. A suspension is obtained which, even when heated, does not turn into Solution works.
Nun fügt man nach Erkalten portionsweise 10 gr Nikotinsäureamid hinzu. Bei einem jedoch Zusatz von Nikotinsäureamid löst sich Coffein teilweise auf. Die Lösung ist bei 5-6 gr Nikotinsaureamid vollständig.Now, after cooling, 10 g of nicotinic acid amide are added in portions. However, when nicotinic acid amide is added, caffeine partially dissolves. the Solution is complete at 5-6 grams of nicotinic acid amide.
Mit einer Mischung aus einem Teil Coffein und einem Teil Nikotinsaureamid
wurden folgenden Tierversuche durchgeführt: a) akute Toxizität in mg/kg Maus
Coffein stelgert in einer Besis von 5 mg/kg die Lernleistung nur um 12 gr, Coffein-Nikotinsäureamid jedoch um 65 gr. At a level of 5 mg / kg, caffeine only increases learning performance around 12 gr, but caffeine nicotinic acid amide around 65 gr.
d) Einfluß auf Herz- und Kreislauf.d) Influence on the cardiovascular system.
Coffein hat in einer dosis von 2,5 bis 10 mg/kg Hund einen Biphasischen Einfluß auf Blutdruck. Es kommt zuerst zu einem Blutdruckanstieg, dann zu einem Abfell. Caffeine is biphasic at a dose of 2.5 to 10 mg / kg dog Influence on blood pressure. There is an increase in blood pressure first, then one Abfell.
Coffein-Nikotinsäureamid hat in Dosen von 1,5 bis 30 mg/kg Hund ke@@ Ein@fin auf Blutdurck.Caffeine nicotinic acid amide has doses of 1.5 to 30 mg / kg dog ke @@ An @ fin on blood pressure.
@ise folgensche Wirkung der neuen Kombination war in keiner weise vorherzusehen gewesen. Im Gegenteil, bei der bekannten unangenehmen Wirkung des Coffeins auf Herz, Magen und Darm war bei einer Wesserlöslichmachung und einer jeden Kombination, die Wasserlöslichkeit bewirken könnte, mit den bekannten Herzsensaionen und Hitzewalliungen zu rechnen. Solche traten auch beim Menschen in Versuchen emnach ergibt die Kombination Coffein-Nikotinsäureamid ein Arzneimittel mit einer nicht zu erwartenden Wirkung einerseits und einem Fortschritt, wie ein solcher nicht zu erwarten gewesen ist.The following effect of the new combination could not have been foreseen in any way. On the contrary, with the well-known unpleasant effects of caffeine on the heart, stomach and intestines, the well-known cardiac sensations and hot flashes were to be expected with water-solubilization and any combination that could cause water-solubility. Such tests have also occurred in humans Accordingly, the combination of caffeine-nicotinic acid amide results in a medicament with an unexpected effect on the one hand and a progress that could not have been expected.
Diese Kombination soll als Arzneimittel in der Haman- und Veterinärmedizin, in der und Nachrungsmittelindustrie in konventionell bekannten Zubereitungen Anwendung finden.This combination is intended as a medicinal product in Haman and veterinary medicine, in the and food industry are used in conventionally known preparations.
demnach ist das wesen der Erfindung: Arzneimittel, Diätetika, Nahrungs- und Gehubmittel, kosmetische Mittel, die Nikotinsäureamid und Coffein in solchen Verhältnissen enthalten, daß die Kombination vollständig oder teilweise wasserlöslich ist.Accordingly, the essence of the invention is: Medicines, dietetics, nutritional and sweeteners, cosmetic agents that contain nicotinic acid amide and caffeine in such Contains proportions that the combination is completely or partially water-soluble is.
Es soll an einigen beispielen die Ausführung der Erfindung gezeigt werden, ohne daß dieselben in den Grundgedanken eingeschränkt wird.The implementation of the invention is intended to be shown by means of a few examples without their basic ideas being restricted.
Beispiel 1: 10 gr Coffein und 10 gr Nikotinsäureamid werden miteinander gemischt.Example 1: 10 grams of caffeine and 10 grams of nicotinic acid amide are mixed together mixed.
1 gr des Gemisches sind mit @ ml Wasser glatt löslich, pH 6,7 bis 7.1 gr of the mixture is readily soluble with @ ml of water, pH 6.7 to 7th
Diese Lösung kann für Injektionszubereitungen dienen, mit Fruchtsäften, Sirupen oder Getranken verdünnt werden oder als Limonaden zubereitet werden.This solution can be used for injection preparations, with fruit juices, Syrups or beverages can be diluted or prepared as lemonades.
