and their physiologically acceptable salts.
The compounds of the general formula (I) according to the invention are known from EP-A-399 291.
The acylsulphonamides and acylcyanamides of the general formula (I) according to the invention can be employed as active compounds in medicaments. The
compounds act particularly as inhibitors of enzymatic reactions in the context of arachidonic acid metabolism, in particular lipoxygenase.
They are thus suitable for the treatment and prevention of glomerular nephritis, lung cancer, multiple sclerosis, ocular inflammation, osteoporosis, reperfusion injury and tinnitus.
The pharmacological activity data of the substances according to the invention are determined by the following method:
As a measure of the lipoxygenase inhibition, the release of leucotriene B4 (LTB4) from polymorphonuclear rats leucocytes (PMNL) was determined after addition of substances and Ca ionophore by means of reverse phase HPLC according to Borgeat, P. et al, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci., 76, 2148-2152 (1979). The in vivo activity of the compounds was detected using the mouse ear inflammation model according to Young, J.M. et al, J. of Investigative Dermatology, 82, 367-371 (1984).
In Table 1, the values obtained by this test for some compounds according to the invention are shown by way of example:
Table 1
For the obtainment of systemic activity the active compounds can be administered orally or parenterally.
For parenteral administration, forms of administration to the mucous membranes (i.e. buccal, lingual, sublingual, rectal, nasal, pulmonary, conjunctival or intravaginal) or into the interior of the body are particularly suitable. Administration can be carried out by avoiding absorption (i.e. intracardiac, intra-arterial, intravenous, intraspinal or intralumbar administration) or by including absorption (i.e. intracutaneous, subcutaneous, percutaneous, intramuscular or intraperitoneal administration).
For the above purpose the active compounds can be administered per se or in administration forms.
Suitable administration forms for oral administration are, inter alia, normal and enteric-coated tablets, capsules, coated tablets, pills, granules, pellets, powders, solid and liquid aerosols, syrups, emulsions, suspensions and solutions. Suitable administration forms for parenteral administration are injection and infusion solutions.
The active compound can be presented in the administration forms in concentrations of from 0 - 100% by weight; preferably the concentration of the active compound should be 0.5-90% by weight, i.e. quantities which are sufficient to allow the specified range of dosage.
The active compounds can be converted in the known manner into the abovementioned administration forms using inert non-toxic pharmaceutically suitable auxiliaries, such as for example excipients, solvents, vehicles, emulsifiers and/or dispersants.
The following auxiliaries can be mentioned as examples: water, solid excipients such as ground natural or synthetic minerals (e.g. talcum or silicates), sugar (e.g. lactose),
non-toxic organic solvents such as paraffins, vegetable oils (e.g. sesame oil), alcohols (e.g. ethanol, glycerol), glycols (e.g. polyethylene glycol), emulsifying agents, dispersants (e.g. polyvinylpyrrolidone) and lubricants (e.g. magnesium sulphate).
In the case of oral administration tablets can of course also contain additives such as sodium citrate as well as additives such as starch, gelatin and the like. Flavour enhancers or colorants can also be added to aqueous preparations for oral administration.
For the obtainment of effective results in the case of parenteral administration it has generally proven advantageous to administer quantities of about 0.001 to lO mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to 1 mg/kg of body weight. In the case of oral administration the quantity is about 0.01 to 100 mg/kg, preferably about 0.1 to 10 mg/kg of body weight.
It may nevertheless be necessary to use quantities other than those mentioned above, depending on the body weight concerned, the method of administration, the individual response to the active compound, the type of preparation and the time or interval of administration.
