Filing Date: | May 26, 2010 |
Application Number: | 12/787,772 |
Claims: | 1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising: (i) 3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicyclo- [2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid; and (ii) a steroid. 2. The composition of claim 1 comprising 3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicyclo- [2.2.2] octane bromide. 3. The composition of claim 1 in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. 4. The composition of claim 3 comprising 3(S)-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicy- clo [2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid. 5. The composition of claim 4 comprising 3(R)-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicy- clo [2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid. 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein the pharmaceutical composition is suitable for inhalation. 7. The pharmaceutical composition according to claim 1 further comprising a .beta..sub.2 agonist or phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor. 8. A method for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic bronchitis, bronchial hyperreactivity, asthma, or rhinitis which method comprises administering to a human or animal patient in need of such treatment an effective amount of: (i) 3-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicyclo- [2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid; and (ii) a steroid. 9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the anion X.sup.- is Br.sup.-. 10. The method of claim 8 comprising administering an effective amount of 3(S)-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniabicy- clo[2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid. 11. The method of claim 10 comprising administering an effective amount of 3(R)-(2-hydroxy-2,2-dithien-2-ylacetoxy)-1-(3-phenoxypropyl)-1-azoniab- icyclo[2.2.2] octane, wherein an anion X.sup.- is associated with the positive charge of the nitrogen atom and wherein X.sup.- is a pharmaceutically acceptable anion of a mono- or polyvalent acid. 12. The method of claim 8 wherein administration is by inhalation. 13. The method of claim 8 comprising administering an effective amount of a .beta..sub.2 agonist or phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor. |
