LU Courier Press, Leamington Spa, England. EP 0 105 635 B1 Description This invention relates generally to aqueous ophthalmic compositions for treatment of the eye, and more particularly, it relates to nonirritating aqueous non-steroidal ophthalmic compositions containing 5 aryl- and heteroarylcarboxylic acids, aryl- and heteroarylalkanoic acids and therapeutic agents which compositions contain an effective amount of a xanthine derivative which eliminates or reduces discomfort with acid containing ophthalmic drugs. Steroidal anti-inflammatory agents are useful therapeutic agents, but are known for their undesirable side effects including, but not limited to, salt retention, edema, and potential danger to pregnant women. 10 To avoid these undesirable side effects non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory agents such as aryl- and hetero- arylcarboxylic acids and aryl- and heteroarylalkanoic acids and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such acids may be used. However, it has not been possible to formulate these acidic anti-inflammatory agents in aqueous ophthalmic compositions because the acids disassociate in aqueous solution forming soap-like compounds which cause severe ocular discomfort including stinging and excessive tear generation. In 15 addition to the discomfort to the patient caused by the stinging sensation, the excess tears generated may also dilute and/or wash away the drug from the ocular surface. Attempts to decrease ocular stinging of non-steroidal acidic anti-inflammatory agents through conventional formulation approaches have not proved successful. Aqueous solutions of suprofen and ketoprofen, two recognized non-steroidal acidic anti-inflammatory agents, when formulated with different 20 ophthalmic preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride, chlorobutanol, and thimerosal provide little or no reduction in the stinging or discomfort caused when these drugs are instilled into the eye in aqueous solution. Likewise changing buffering agents, such as sodium phosphate, sodium borate, and sodium citrate, and their concentrations provides little or no reduction in stinging. Changing the cations in solution from sodium to potassium gives rise to some improvement in reduction of the stinging effect, but not to a 25 satisfactory level. Incorporating inert adjuvants such as polyvinyl alcohol, glycerin, glycine and ethyl alcohol provides little or no reduction of the stinging or discomfort of the acidic anti-inflammatory agent. Varying the pH of the ocular solutions provides little or no reduction of discomfort. A need exists, therefore, for a non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory composition which has the advantages of not being a steroid, and which may be used in the topical treatment of diseases of the eye without 30 producing stinging or ocular discomfort. More particularly, a need exists for a formulation of aryl- and heteroarylcarboxylic acids or aryl- and heteroarylalkanoic acids and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which with topical ocular use will not produce discomfort. Chemical Abstracts, Vol. 93, 1980, Page 67, No. 230937K, discloses a composition having a synergistic analgesic action comprising a bucetin-ibuprofen. mixture in admixture with caffeine and thiamin 35 hydrochloride. Chemical Abstracts, Vol. 96, 1982, Page 422, No. 149162U, discloses a combined analgesic and anti-pyretic formulation containing ibuprofen, caffeine and thiamin in the form of tablets. Neither of these documents discloses compositions suitable for ophthalmic use. It has been found that methyl and ethyl derivatives of xanthine when formulated in an aqueous non- steroidal, anti-inflammatory composition containing aryl- and heteroarylcarboxylic acids or aryF- and 40 heteroarylalkanoic acids or mixtures thereof, results in a composition that may be applied topically to the eye with little or none of the discomfort previously known with the use of such agents. Accordingly, the present invention provides an aqueous, nonirritating, nonsteroidal, ophthalmic composition for topical application to the eye comprising: a therapeutically effective amount of an acidic anti-inflammatory agent for topical treatment of 45 inflammation of the eye, which anti-inflammatory agent is an arylcarboxylic acid, heteroarylcarboxylic acid, arylalkanoic acid, heteroarylalkanoic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or a mixture thereof; a xanthine derivative in an amount of from the amount by which the derivative is soluble in the water contained in the composition to 0.05% by weight/volume of the composition which is effective to reduce so the discomfort associated with the anti-inflammatory agent upon topical application of the composition, the xanthine derivative having the formula: II") CP^N 'N R2 60 wherein Ri, R2 and R3 are each independently hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl, and at least two of R1# R2 and R3 are methyl or ethyl, or a mixture thereof; an ophthalmic preservative; and 65 a buffer, to provide an isotonic, aqueous, nonirritating and nonsteroidal ophthalmic composition. EP 0 105 635 B1 The xanthine derivatives which have been found to be effective in reducing ocular discomfort in accordance with the present invention are those having the following structure: ?3 R11J1'%'^ 70. R2 Where R1f R2 and R3 are either hydrogen, methyl or ethyl, and at least two of R1# R2 and R3 are methyl or ethyl. Theophylline, which has methyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions, caffeine, which has methyl groups at the 1,3, and 7 positions, and theobromine, which has methyl groups at the 3 and 7 positions are examples 15 of xanthine derivatives contemplated by the present invention. These derivatives when added to a finished buffered isotonic aqueous composition of aryl- and heteroarylcarboxylic acids and/or aryl- and heteroarylalkanoic acids or pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such acids with the concentration of the derivative at an upper level of about the solubility of the xanthine derivative to a lower concentration limit of the xanthine derivative of 0.05% by weight/volume of the be with little 20 aqueous composition, provide an ocular anti-inflammatory agent which can topically applied or no discomfort or ocular stinging to the patient. Ingredients including but not limited to benzalkonium chloride, thimerosal and NaCI may be optionally added to the composition as is known in the art. It is readily apparent that the amount of xanthine derivatives will vary depending on the particular acid drug used and the amount of drug in the composition. 25 There are a large number of acidic anti-inflammatory agents which can be incorporated in compositions in accordance with the present invention. Examples of aryl- or heteroarylcarboxylic acids include mefenamic acid or 2-[(2,3-dimethylphenyl)amino]benzoic acid, fiufenamic acid or 2[[3-(trifluoro- methyl)phenyl]amino]benzoic acid, clonixin or 2-(3-chloro-o-toluidino)nicotinic acid and flufenisal or 4' fluoro-4-acetate-biphenyl-3 carboxylic acid. 30 Examples of aryl- or heteroarylalkanoic acids include 4-(t-butyl)benezeneacetic acid, ibufenac or 4-(2- methylpropyDbenzeneacetic acid, ibuprofen or a-methyl-4-(2-methylpropyl)benezeneacetic acid, alclofenac or 3-chloro-4-(2-propenyloxy)benezeneacetic acid, fenoprofen or a-methyl-3-phenoxybenzene- acetic acid,- naproxen or 2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionic acid, indomethacin or 1-(p-chlorobenzoyl)-5- methoxy-2-methylindole-3-acetic acid, tolmetin or 1-methyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1H-pyrrole-2-acetic acid, 35 flurbiprofen or 2-fluoro-a-methyl[1,1'-biphenyl]-4-acetic acid, ketoprofen or 2-(3-benzoylphenyl)propionic acid, namoxyrate or 2-(p-biphenylyl)butyrate dimethylaminoethanol salt and suprofen or para-2-thenoyl- hydratropic acid. The acidic anti-inflammatory agent may be incorporated in

  • Predicting Toxicity from Gene Expression with Neural Networks
    Predicting Toxicity from Gene Expression with Neural Networks Peter Eastman1 and Vijay S. Pande1 1Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305 Abstract We train a neural network to predict chemical toxicity based on gene expression data. The input to the network is a full expression profile collected either in vitro from cultured cells or in vivo from live animals. The output is a set of fine grained predictions for the presence of a variety of pathological effects in treated animals. When trained on the Open TG-GATEs database it produces good results, outperforming classical models trained on the same data. This is a promising approach for efficiently screening chemicals for toxic effects, and for more accurately evaluating drug candidates based on preclinical data. Introduction Predicting toxicity is a vital problem in many fields. One quarter of all drug candidates that reach phase II clinical trials ultimately fail because of toxicity[1]. Better methods to predict this in advance would spare patients from taking drugs that ultimately prove toxic, as well as saving enormous time and money. Toxic effects from industrial and household chemicals are also a major public health problem. Often they are tested only on animals, not humans, but animals can be a poor model for toxicity in humans[2]. Better methods to predict human toxicity would have major public health benefits. Many chemicals cause chronic rather than acute toxicity. It may take months or years for their effects to become apparent. Better methods to spot the early signs of chronic toxicity before clinical symptoms appear would allow clinical trials to be stopped sooner, and also would reduce the risk of toxic effects being missed.

Received 20 April 2001; Revised 20 June 2001; Accepted 21 June 2001 Sixteen synthetic chemical drugs, often found in adulterated Chinese medicines, were studied by capillary electrophoresis/UV absorbance CE/UV)and capillary electrophoresis/electrospray ioniza- tion mass spectrometry CE/ESI-MS). Only nine peaks were detected with CZE/UV, but on-line CZE/ MS provided clear identification for most compounds. For a real sample of a Chinese medicinal preparation, a few adulterants were identified by their migration times and protonated molecular ions. For coeluting compounds, more reliable identification was achieved by MS/MS in selected reaction monitoring mode. Micellar electrokinetic chromatography MEKC)using sodium dodecyl sulfate SDS)provided better separation than capillary zone electrophoresis CZE),and, under optimal conditions, fourteen peaks were detected using UV detection. In ESI, the interference of SDS was less severe in positive ion mode than in negative ion mode. Up to 20 mM SDS could be used in direct coupling of MEKC with ESI-MS if the mass spectrometer was operated in positive ion mode. Because of better resolution in MEKC, adulterants can be identified without the use of MS/MS. Copyright # 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Computational models that can predict the material properties associated with amorphiza- tion, such as glass-forming ability (GFA) and crystallization behavior in the dry state, would be a time-saving, cost-effective, and material-sparing approach compared to traditional experimental procedures. This article presents predictive models of these properties developed using support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The GFA and crystallization tendency were investigated by melt-quenching 131 drug molecules in situ using differential scanning calorimetry. The SVM algorithm was used to develop computational models based on calculated molecular descriptors. The analyses confirmed the previously suggested cutoff molecular weight (MW) of 300 for glass-formers, and also clarified the extent to which MW can be used to predict the GFA of compounds with MW < 300. The topological equivalent of Grav3_3D, which is related to molecular size and shape, was a better descriptor than MW for GFA; it was able to accurately predict 86% of the data set regardless of MW.
