Abstract

The invention pertains to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in cases of diseases of the upper respiratory tract and of polyposis, especially for suppressing leukotriene production, principally that of chemotactically active LTB4, as well as prostaglandin and thromboxane production by inhibiting the enzyme activity of phospholipases, lipoxygenases and/or cyclooxygenases.

Description

Verwendung eines nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistikums zur topischen und systemischen Behandlung der akuten und chronischen polypoiden RhinosinusitisUse of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for topical and systemic treatment of acute and chronic polypoid rhinosinusitis
B e s c h r e i b u n gDescription
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung von nicht-steroida- len Antiphlogistika bei Erkrankungen der oberen und unteren Atem¬ wege.The present invention relates to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in diseases of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
Es ist bekannt, nicht-steroidale Antiphlogistika (im folgenden als NSAID abgekürzt: „non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs") als Anti- phlogistika, Analgetika und Antipyretika einzusetzen. NSAID werden systemisch zur Behandlung von entzündlichen Gelenkserkrankungen einschließlich der chronischen Polyarthritis, der Polyarthrose und bei schmerzhaften Zuständen nach Traumata, z.B. Muskelzerrung, Gewebsverletzung, eingesetzt. Dabei handelt es sich um eine sym- ptomatische Therapie, die bedarfsweise und zeitlich begrenzt verord¬ net wird. Der entscheidende Nachteil einer Dauerverordnung syste¬ misch wirksamer NSAID ist bekannterweise das Auftreten von Ober¬ bauchbeschwerden, wie bei der akuten Gastritis, Magen- und Zwölf¬ fingerdarmgeschwüre mit zusätzlicher Blutungskomplikation. Darüber hinaus kann eine systemische Behandlung mit NSAID nur bis zu einem gewissen Schweregrad der Erkrankung angewendet werden; darüber hinaus bleibt nur eine systemische Therapie mit Corticosteroi- den übrig, deren schwere Nebenwirkungen allgemein bekannt sind. Zu der Gruppe der NSAID gehören eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Substanzen, denen ein gemeinsames Wirkprinzip zugrunde liegt. Die¬ ses besteht in der Hemmung der sogenannten Cyclooxygenasen (PGH-Synteasen: PGHS-1, PGHS-2), die Arachidonsäure als das Substrat für die Neusynthese von Prostaglandinen und Thromboxan in diesem Stoffwechselweg metabolisieren. Die bekannten Wirkungen der Gruppe der nicht-steroidalen Antiphlo¬ gistika wird nach dem Stand der Technik durch die Hemmung der Cyclooxygenase-Aktivität vermittelt. Glucocorticosteroide haben im Vergleich zu den Cyclooxygenase-Hemmstoffen eine deutlich höhere anti-inflammatorische Wirkung bei nur unbedeutenden anti-pyreti- schen oder analgetischen Effekten. Die Ursache liegt in einer Hem¬ mung der sogenannten Phospholipase-Aktivität im Bereich der Mem- N bran menschlicher Zellen, die Arachidonsäure aus den Phospholi- pidspeichern freisetzt und die schließlich über die Stoffwechselwege der Cyclooxygenasen und Lipoxygenasen zu verschiedenen Entzün¬ dungsmediatoren mit chemotaktischer Wirkung (Leukotrien B4) und bronchialkonstriktorischer Wirkung (Leukotrien C4, D4, E4) sowie zu Prostaglandinen und Thromboxan metabolisiert wird. Nach dem gegenwärtigen Kenntnisstand unterscheiden sich Glucocorticosteroide von den nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistika durch die klinisch bekannte höhergradige Entzündungshemmung als Folge der starken Suppres¬ sion der Leukotrien-Produktion. Jedoch wird durch Glucocortico¬ steroide infolge der Phospholipasehemmung der Arachidonsäure- metabolismus der Cyclooxygenase in deutlich vermindertem Maße gehemmt. Dadurch ist die steroid-induzierte Cyclooxygenase-It is known to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (hereinafter abbreviated as NSAID: "non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs") as anti-inflammatory drugs, analgesics and antipyretics. NSAIDs are used systemically for the treatment of inflammatory joint diseases including chronic polyarthritis, polyarthrosis and used for painful conditions after trauma, eg muscle strain, tissue injury .. This is a symptomatic therapy that is prescribed as needed and for a limited time. The decisive disadvantage of a permanent prescription of systemically effective NSAID is known to be the occurrence of Ober ¬ abdominal discomfort, such as acute gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcers with additional bleeding complications, in addition, systemic treatment with NSAID can only be used up to a certain severity of the disease, and only systemic therapy with corticosterois remains the rest whose serious side effects are well known. The NSAID group includes a large number of different substances that are based on a common principle of action. This consists in the inhibition of the so-called cyclooxygenases (PGH synteases: PGHS-1, PGHS-2), which metabolize arachidonic acid as the substrate for the new synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxane in this metabolic pathway. The known effects of the group of non-steroidal anti-phlogistic agents are mediated according to the prior art by the inhibition of the cyclooxygenase activity. Compared to the cyclooxygenase inhibitors, glucocorticosteroids have a significantly higher anti-inflammatory effect with only insignificant anti-pyreti- or analgesic effects. The cause lies in an inhibition of the so-called phospholipase activity in the area of the membrane of human cells, which releases arachidonic acid from the phospholipid stores and which ultimately leads via the metabolic pathways of the cyclooxygenases and lipoxygenases to various inflammation mediators with a chemotactic effect ( Leukotriene B4) and bronchial constrictive effects (leukotriene C4, D4, E4) as well as to prostaglandins and thromboxane is metabolized. According to the current state of knowledge, glucocorticosteroids differ from the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by the clinically known higher-level anti-inflammatory effect as a result of the strong suppression of leukotriene production. However, the arachidonic acid metabolism of the cyclooxygenase is inhibited to a significantly reduced extent by glucocortico steroids as a result of the phospholipase inhibition. This makes the steroid-induced cyclooxygenase
Hemmung nie vollständig. Grundlage der neuentwickelten Therapie ist die steroidantagonistische Wirkung von Acetylsalicylsäure und ver¬ mutlich auch anderen nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistika, wie z.B. von Diclofenac (Juergens et al.: Inhibition of moncyte leukotriene B4 production following aspirin desensitization. J. Allergy Clin. ImmunolInhibition never completely. The basis of the newly developed therapy is the steroid antagonistic effect of acetylsalicylic acid and presumably also other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as e.g. by Diclofenac (Juergens et al .: Inhibition of moncyte leukotriene B4 production following aspirin desensitization. J. Allergy Clin. Immunol
1995; 96:148-156). Diese Untersuchungen zeigen, daß die A23187 stimulierte Produktion von LTB4 und LTC4 ex vivo mit der inflamma- torischen Aktivität und dem systemischen Steroidbedarf der Atem¬ wegserkrankung korreliert ist. Unter systemischer Dauertherapie mit Acetylsalicylsäure (1-2 x 650 mg) konnte eine signifikante Hemmung der monozytären LTB4-Produktion nachgewiesen werden. Diese Wir¬ kung wird indirekt durch eine Stimulation der PGHS-2-Aktivität in Gegenwart einer Hemmung der PGHS-1 vermittelt. Die nicht inhibierte PGHS-2 metabolisiert Arachidonsäure zu 15-HETE, das wiederum als Hemmstoff der 5-Lipoxygenaseaktivität bekannt ist. Die Hemmung der1995; 96: 148-156). These investigations show that the A23187 stimulated production of LTB4 and LTC4 ex vivo is correlated with the inflammatory activity and the systemic steroid requirement of the respiratory disease. With continuous systemic therapy with acetylsalicylic acid (1-2 x 650 mg), a significant inhibition of monocytic LTB4 production was demonstrated. This effect is mediated indirectly by stimulation of the PGHS-2 activity in the presence of an inhibition of the PGHS-1. The uninhibited PGHS-2 metabolizes arachidonic acid to 15-HETE, which in turn is known to inhibit 5-lipoxygenase activity. The inhibition of
Leukotrienproduktion durch Acetylsalicylsäure und andere NSAIDs als neues antiphlogistisches Wirkungskonzept eröffnet neue Indikationen und Applikationsformen für den therapeutischen Einsatz von NSAIDs. Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Mittel zur Behandlung von chronischen, allergischen und infekt-exazerbierten Erkrankungen der oberen Atemwege bzw. steroid-pflichtigen Erkran¬ kungen, bereitzustellen, bei dessen Verwendung weniger Neben- Wirkungen auftreten und das effektiver ist, als bei herkömmlichenLeukotriene production by acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs as a new anti-inflammatory concept of action opens up new indications and forms of application for the therapeutic use of NSAIDs.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die topische und syste¬ mische Verwendung eines nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistikums (NSAID) zur Suppression der Leukotrien-Produktion, insbesondere des chemotaktisch wirksamen Leukotrien B4, und der Prostaglandin- und/oder Thromboxanproduktion durch Inhibition der Enzymaktivitä¬ ten der Phosphoslipasen, Lipoxygenasen und/oder Cyclooxygenasen gelöst. Bei den nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistika kann es sich erfindungsge¬ mäß insbesondere um Essigsäure-, Propionsäure-, Fenaminsäure-, Biphenylcarbonsäurederivate oder ein Oxicam handeln. Besonders bevorzugt sind Acetylsalicylsäure, Diclofenac, Ibuprofen oder Indometazin. Der wesentliche Vorteil dieser Verwendung eines NSAID besteht in einer überraschend hochgradigen anti-inflammatorischen Wirkung, die insbesondere zur Hemmung lokaler Entzündungsprozesse führt.The object is achieved according to the invention by the topical and systematic use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for the suppression of the leukotriene production, in particular the chemotactically active leukotriene B4, and the prostaglandin and / or thromboxane production by inhibiting the enzyme activities of the phosphoslipases , Lipoxygenases and / or cyclooxygenases dissolved. According to the invention, the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents can be, in particular, acetic acid, propionic acid, fenamic acid, biphenylcarboxylic acid derivatives or an oxicam. Acetylsalicylic acid, diclofenac, ibuprofen or indometazine are particularly preferred. The main advantage of using an NSAID is a surprisingly high level of anti-inflammatory activity, which leads in particular to the inhibition of local inflammatory processes.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform betrifft die vorliegende Erfin- düng die Verwendung eines nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistikums zur topischen Behandlung von akuten, infekt-exazerbierten Erkrankungen, von allergischen, infekt-exazerbierten Erkrankungen und von chro¬ nisch entzündlichen, infekt-exazerbierten Erkrankungen der oberen Atemwege. Unter einer „akuten, infekt-exazerbierten Erkrankung der oberenIn a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for the topical treatment of acute, infection-exacerbated diseases, of allergic, infection-exacerbated diseases and of chronic inflammatory, infection-exacerbated diseases of the upper respiratory tract. Under an "acute, infection-exacerbated disease of the upper
Atemwege" wird in der vorliegenden Erfindung z.B. eine akute Rhini¬ tis, Rhinosinusitis, Sinusitis und Polyposis nasi mit oder ohne nasale Kongestion verstanden; entsprechend wird mit dem Begriff „allergische, infekt-exazerbierte Erkrankung der oberen Atemwege" beispielsweise eine allergische Rhinitis, Rhinosinusitis, Sinusitis, mit oder ohne nasale Kongestion bzw. mit dem Begriff „chronisch ent¬ zündliche, infekt-exazerbierte Erkrankung der oberen Atemwege" bei¬ spielsweise eine chronische Rhinitis, Rhinosinusitis, Sinusitis, Polyposis nasi mit oder ohne nasale Kongestion oder Anosmie bezeichnet.Respiratory tract "in the present invention is understood to mean, for example, acute rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, sinusitis and polyposis nasi with or without nasal congestion. Accordingly, the term" allergic, infection-exacerbated disease of the upper respiratory tract " for example allergic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, sinusitis, with or without nasal congestion or with the term "chronically inflammatory, infection-exacerbated disease of the upper respiratory tract", for example chronic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, sinusitis, nasal polyposis with or without nasal Congestion or anosmia.
Unter einer „topischen Behandlung" versteht man hier die örtliche, d.h. lokale Anwendung eines Heilmittels im Gegensatz zu einer „systemischen Therapie", die eine den gesamten Organismus betref¬ fende Behandlung (auch generalisierende Behandlung), d.h. aus- schließlich durch orale oder intravenöse Applikation betrifft.A "topical treatment" here means the local, i.e. local application of a remedy in contrast to a "systemic therapy", which is a treatment that affects the entire organism (also generalizing treatment), i.e. only affected by oral or intravenous administration.
Die Steroidpflichtigkeit bedeutet hier eine zwingende Abhängigkeit von täglicher, langfristiger oraler Einnahme systemisch wirkender Glu- kocorticosteroide .The obligation to take steroids here means an imperative dependence on daily, long-term oral intake of systemic glucocorticosteroids.
Die Erfindung betrifft insbesondere die Verwendung von nicht-steroi¬ dalen Antiphlogistica zur topischen Behandlung steroidsensitiver und steroidpflichtiger Erkrankungen, vorzugsweise bei Erkrankungen der oberen Atemwege. Ein wesentlicher Vorteil hierbei ist, daß insbesondere steroidsensitive obere Atemwegserkrankungen mit NSAID topisch und/oder syste¬ misch behandelt werden können. Es wurde überraschend gefunden, daß unter Therapie mit Acetysalicylsäure dauerhaft die akute, chroni¬ sche und allergische Rhinosinusitis mit Rückentwicklung von Nasen¬ polypen erfolgreich behandelt werden können. Die Therapie spricht insbesondere gut an bei Patienten mit erhöhtem Eosinophilen CationicThe invention relates in particular to the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents for the topical treatment of steroid-sensitive and steroid-requiring diseases, preferably in diseases of the upper respiratory tract. An important advantage here is that in particular steroid-sensitive upper respiratory diseases can be treated topically and / or systemically with NSAID. It was surprisingly found that acute, chronic and allergic rhinosinusitis with regression of nasal polyps can be successfully treated under therapy with acetysalicylic acid. The therapy responds particularly well in patients with increased eosinophil cationic
Protein (ECP) mit und ohne bronchialer Hyperreaktivität. Die Folge ist eine topische und systemische Corticosteroid-Einsparung, z.B. bei Erkrankungen der oberen Atemwege, wie z.B. typischerweise bei der Rhinosinusitis mit dauerhafter Beseitigung von Nasenpolypen. Die Dosis einer erfindungsgemäßen topischen NSAID-Therapie kann beispielsweise bei der allergischen bzw. chronischen Rhinosinusitis ca. 50 bis 4000 μg/die pro Nasenloch, aufgeteilt in zwei Tagesdosen in einer Durchschnittsdosis von ca. 2 x 250 bis 1000 μg/die pro Nasen¬ loch, betragen. In einer weiteren, ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausführungs- form wird das NSAID in Form eines Nasensprays lokal appliziert. Das Polypenwachstum der Nase und wesentlich auch des Darms wird durch eine systemische Therapie und NSAIDs, wie z.B. Acetylsalicyl¬ säure in dünndarmlöslichen Filmtabletten in einer Dosis von 300- 900 mg/Tag, bevorzugt 600 mg/Tag, verhindert.Protein (ECP) with and without bronchial hyperreactivity. The result is topical and systemic corticosteroid savings, for example in diseases of the upper respiratory tract, such as typically in rhinosinusitis with permanent removal of nasal polyps. The dose of a topical NSAID therapy according to the invention can, for example in the case of allergic or chronic rhinosinusitis, approximately 50 to 4000 μg / die per nostril, divided into two daily doses in an average dose of approx , amount. In a further, likewise preferred embodiment form the NSAID is applied locally in the form of a nasal spray. The polyp growth of the nose and essentially also of the intestine is prevented by systemic therapy and NSAIDs, such as, for example, acetylsalicylic acid in small intestine-soluble film tablets in a dose of 300-900 mg / day, preferably 600 mg / day.
Die Erfindung betrifft desweiteren die Verwendung eines nicht-steroi¬ dalen Antiphlogistikums zur topischen Therapie und Prophylaxe der Nasenpolypbildung und der topischen, prophylaktischen Behandlung der akuten, allergischen und chronischen Rhinosinusitis.The invention further relates to the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory for topical therapy and prophylaxis of nasal polyp formation and topical, prophylactic treatment of acute, allergic and chronic rhinosinusitis.
Die systemische Verwendung hat in der Initialphase der Therapie den Vorteil, daß höhere Plasmaspiegel erreicht werden und durch den systemischen Einsatz die entzündliche Infiltration verschiedener Mediator produzierender Zellen in den oberen und unteren Atem- wegen durch die verminderte Produktion von chemotaktischen Fakto¬ ren (Leukotrien B4) reduziert bzw. verhindert wird. Die Folge ist eine schnelle Abheilung der Nasenpolypen und Rhinosinusitis in Fällen mit schwerer klinischer Symptomatik, die schließlich topisch zur Rezidiv¬ prophylaxe weitergeführt werden kann. Leichte und mittelschwere Fälle können dagegen sofort ohne vorhergehenden systemischen Ein¬ satz nicht-steroidaler Antiphlogistica primär topisch behandelt werden. Bereits nach zwei- bis ca. achtwöchiger topischer Therapie mit Aspirin bis 2 x 1 mg/die ist die nasale Kongestion rückläufig und das Riech- und Geschmacksvermögen wieder hergestellt. Die Behandlung der mit Anosmie assoziierten Polyposis nasi und Rhinosinusitis stellt daher eine besondere Indikation für die erfindungsgemäße Verwendung der gesamten Stoffgruppe dar. Bei der akuten Rhinitis ist eine Rückbildung der nasalen Kongestion nach 10-15 Minuten spürbar. Das Wachstum von Nasenpolypen konnte durch eine topische Aspi- rin-Therapie mit anfangs 2 x 1 mg/die über zwei Monate und anschließender Dosisreduktion auf Aspirin 1 mg/die bis zum Ver¬ schwinden der Nasenpolypen und der Rhinosinusitis erfolgreich behandelt werden. Die systemische Behandlung zur Polyptherapie wird mit einer Tagesdosis von 900 mg (aufgeteilt in 600mg - 300 mg - 0) über 3 Monate eingeleitet und mit 300-600 mg/Tag weitergeführt.The systemic use in the initial phase of the therapy has the advantage that higher plasma levels are achieved and, through the systemic use, the inflammatory infiltration of various mediator-producing cells in the upper and lower respiratory tract due to the reduced production of chemotactic factors (leukotriene B4) is reduced or prevented. The result is a rapid healing of the nasal polyps and rhinosinusitis in cases with severe clinical symptoms, which can ultimately be continued topically for the prevention of recurrence. In contrast, mild and moderate cases can be treated topically immediately without prior systemic use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. After two to about eight weeks of topical therapy with aspirin up to 2 x 1 mg / day, the nasal congestion has decreased and the smell and taste have been restored. The treatment of the polyposis nasi and rhinosinusitis associated with anosmia therefore represents a special indication for the use according to the invention of the entire group of substances. In acute rhinitis, the nasal congestion regresses after 10-15 minutes. The growth of nasal polyps was successfully treated by topical aspirin therapy with initially 2 x 1 mg / over two months and then reducing the dose to aspirin 1 mg / until the nasal polyps and rhinosinusitis disappeared. The systemic treatment for polyptherapy is initiated with a daily dose of 900 mg (divided into 600 mg - 300 mg - 0) over 3 months and continued with 300-600 mg / day.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform wird erfindungsgemäß die Ver- wendung eines nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistikums zur symptomati¬ schen Behandlung von akuter und chronischer Rhinosinusitis, allergi¬ scher Rhinosinusitis, allergischer Rhinitis, Polyposis nasi und Anosmie sowie z.B. bei Kopfschmerzen und nasaler Kongestion, beansprucht.In a further embodiment, the use of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent for the symptomatic treatment of acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyposis and anosmia and e.g. for headaches and nasal congestion.
Die Erfindung betrifft aber nicht nur die Verwendung von NSAID alsThe invention not only relates to the use of NSAID as
Monosubstanz sondern insbesondere auch in Kombination mit min¬ destens einem Steroid, vorzugsweise mit mindestens einem topischen Steroid (Budesonid, Flunisolid, Beclomethason, Fluticason), einem etherischem Öl (1,8-Cineol, Menthol), einem Antihistaminicum, einem α-Sympathomimetikum oder einem zusätzlichen 5-Lipoxygenase- inhibitor.Monosubstance but in particular also in combination with at least one steroid, preferably with at least one topical steroid (budesonide, flunisolide, beclomethasone, fluticasone), an essential oil (1,8-cineol, menthol), an antihistamine, an α-sympathomimetic or an additional 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor.
Diese Kombination hat den entscheidenden Vorteil, daß hierdurch die anti-inflammatorische Wirkungen der NSAID verstärkt werden und die Kombination, z.B. mit einem α-Sympathomimetikum (= Reliever) und einem NSAID (= Preventer) ein sinnvolles und OTC-fähiges Therapie¬ konzept darstellen.This combination has the decisive advantage that it increases the anti-inflammatory effects of the NSAID and the combination, e.g. with a α-sympathomimetic (= Reliever) and an NSAID (= Preventer) represent a sensible and OTC-compatible therapy concept.
Ebenso können die erfindungsgemäß verwendeten NSAID mit ver¬ schiedenen Sympathomimetika zur Nasenschleimhautabschwellung (Ephedrin, Phenylephedrin, Phenylpropanolamin, Pseudoephedrin,Likewise, the NSAID used according to the invention can be used with various sympathomimetics for swelling of the nasal mucosa (ephedrine, phenylephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine,
Zylometazolin, Tramazolin, Petryzolin, Naphazolin, Oxymetazolin, Indanazolin u.a.), in Kombination mit Antiallergika (Cromoglycinsäure, Nedocromil, Cetirizin, Terfenadin, Oxatomid, Astemizol u.a.), in Kom¬ bination mit Antibiotika (Tetracyclin, Neomycin, Bacitracen u.a.), sowie in Kombination mit elektrolythaltigen Lösungen (z.B. EMSA-Zylometazoline, tramazoline, petryzoline, naphazoline, oxymetazoline, indanazoline, etc.), in combination with antiallergics (cromoglycic acid, nedocromil, cetirizine, terfenadine, oxatomide, astemizole, etc.), in combination with antibiotics (tetracycline, neomycin, and bacitra Combination with electrolyte-containing solutions (e.g. EMSA-
Sole) kombiniert werden.Brine) can be combined.
Die Kombination nicht-steroidaler Antiphlogistica mit diesen Stoffen hat z.B. bei Erkrankungen der oberen Atemwege den Vorteil, das neben der antikongestiven oder antiallergischen Wirkung eine zusatz- liche stark anti-inflammatorische Wirkung mit Rückbildung der die Nasenschleimhaut infiltrierenden Zellen nachhaltig erreicht wird, so daß die bisher symptomatische Therapie durch einen kausalen Therapieansatz entscheidend gebessert werden kann (Preventer + Reliever).The combination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with these substances has the advantage, for example, in diseases of the upper respiratory tract that, in addition to the anti-congestive or anti-allergic effects, strong anti-inflammatory effect is achieved with regression of the cells infiltrating the nasal mucosa, so that the previously symptomatic therapy can be decisively improved by a causal therapy approach (Preventer + Reliever).
Eine besonders bevorzugte Erfindungsform betrifft die obigen Ver¬ wendungen in Form einer topischen Dauertherapie. Ein wesentlicher Effekt hierbei ist der, daß trotz Dauertherapie wesentlich weniger Nebenwirkungen auftraten, als bei einer systemischen Dauertherapie.A particularly preferred form of the invention relates to the above uses in the form of continuous topical therapy. A major effect here is that, despite long-term therapy, fewer side effects occurred than with systemic long-term therapy.
Außerdem ist eine deutlich bessere Wirkung durch die höhere lokale Wirkstoffkonzentration zu erwarten.In addition, a significantly better effect can be expected from the higher local active ingredient concentration.
Die systemische Dauertherapie mit nicht-steroidalen Antiphlogistica verhinderte außerdem prophylaktisch ein Nachwachsen der Nasen- polypen und sicherte die Ausheilung der Rhinosinusitis und ist zudem geeignet zur postoperativen Rezidivprophylaxe von Nasenpolypen. Die systemische Therapie mit NSAID ist sehr wahrscheinlich auch zur Behandlung von Darmpolypen geeignet und dürfte die vorliegenden Ergebnisse zur Wirkung von Aspirin auf das Coloncarcinom, das aus entarteten Polypen hervorgehen kann, erklären helfen. Insofern ist zu vermuten, daß die nachgewiesene NSAID-Wirkung auch die Polypen im Darm und das Risiko der Präcancerose und des Coloncarcinoms signifikant vermindern wird. The systemic long-term therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs also prevented prophylactically the regrowth of the nasal polyps and ensured the healing of the rhinosinusitis and is also suitable for the postoperative prevention of recurrence of nasal polyps. Systemic therapy with NSAID is very likely also suitable for the treatment of intestinal polyps and should help explain the results available on the effect of aspirin on colon carcinoma, which can result from degenerate polyps. In this respect it can be assumed that the proven NSAID effect will also significantly reduce the polyps in the intestine and the risk of precancerosis and colon carcinoma.
