Title: Composition and galenic formulation suitable for combatting affections of the lower abdomen
Abstract:The present invention relates to a composition and a galenic formulation suitable for combatting affections of the lower abdomen, for example intestinal conditions such as diarrhea, said composition or formulation containing: (a) an effective amount of a compound of formula I ##STR1## (b) at least one wetting agent, and preferably (c) a starch derivative.
Inventor(s): Rossignol; Jean-Francois (Clearwater, FL)
Assignee:
Filing Date:Apr 13, 1994
Application Number:08/227,033
Claims:1. Composition for oral administration for combatting affections of the lower abdomen, said composition containing:

an effective amount of an active agent of formula I ##STR6## and a wetting agent.

2. The composition of claim 1, in which at least one wetting agent is selected among the group consisting of the anionic surfactants.

3. The composition of claim 1, in which the wetting agent is selected from the group consisting of sugar esters, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene, anhydrohexitol derivatives, fatty alkanol amides, fatty amine oxides, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, lecithins, polyvinylpyrrolidones, fatty acid esters, glycerides of sucrose, esters of xylose, polyoxyethylene glycerides, esters of fatty acids and polyoxyethylene ether of fatty alcohols and polyoxyethylene fatty acids esters of sorbitan, polyoxyethylene esters of fatty acids of sorbitan, glyceride-polyglycide esters of alcohol polyglycides and mixtures thereof.

4. The composition of claim 1, which contains a starch derivative.

5. The composition of claim 1, which contains carboxymethyl starch or a salt thereof.

6. The composition of claim 1, which contains up to 20% by weight of surfactant with respect to the weight of active agent and up to 20% by weight of starch derivative with respect to the weight of active agent.

7. Galenic formulation for oral administration for combatting affections of the lower abdomen, said galenic form comprising a core containing a composition containing:

an effective amount of an active agent of formula I ##STR7## wetting agent, and a starch derivative,

the water content of said composition being less than 25% by weight.

8. The formulation of claim 7, containing carboxymethyl starch or a salt thereof.

9. Ointment for the treatment for combatting affections of the lower abdomen, containing:

an effective amount of active agent of formula (I) ##STR8## and a wetting agent.

10. The ointment of claim 9, which contains a starch derivative.

11. The ointment of claim 8, in which the wetting agent is selected from the group consisting of sugar esters, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene, anhydrohexitol derivatives, fatty alkanol amides, fatty amine oxides, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, lecithins, polyvinylpyrrolidones, fatty acid esters, glycerides of sucrose, esters of xylose, polyoxyethylene glycerides, esters of fatty acids and polyoxyethylene ether of fatty alcohols and polyoxyethylene fatty acids esters of sorbitan, polyoxyethylene esters of fatty acids of sorbitan, glyceride-polyglycide esters of alcohol polyglycides and mixtures thereof.

12. The ointment of claim 9, which contains carboxymethyl starch.

13. Bactericidal composition containing as bactericidal agent, a mixture of an active agent of formula (I) ##STR9## and a wetting agent.

14. The bactericidal composition of claim 2, in which the wetting agent is selected from the group consisting of sugar esters, polyoxyethylene, polyoxypropylene, anhydrohexitol derivatives, fatty alkanol amides, fatty amine oxides, sucrose, mannitol, sorbitol, lecithins, polyvinylpyrrolidones, fatty acid esters, glycerides of sucrose, esters of xylose, polyoxyethylene glycerides, esters of fatty acids and polyoxyethylene ether of fatty alcohols and polyoxyethylene fatty acids esters of sorbitan, polyoxyethylene esters of fatty acids of sorbitan, glyceride-polyglycide esters of alcohol polyglycides and mixtures thereof.

15. Process for combatting aerobic and anaerobic bacteria in which the bacteria are treated with a bactericidal composition containing as bactericidal agent, a mixture of an active agent of formula (I), and a wetting agent ##STR10##

16. Process for preventing the growth of bacteria into a medium, in which the medium is treated with a bactericidal composition containing as bactericidal agent, a mixture of an active agent of formula (I), and a wetting agent ##STR11##

17. Process for treating diarrhea affections of animals, in which a composition containing:

an effective amount of an active agent (I) ##STR12## a wetting agent, and a starch derivative is orally administered.

18. Food composition comprising, as preserving agent,

an effective amount of an active agent (I) ##STR13## a wetting agent, and a starch derivative.
