An anionic synthetic phospholipid of the invention is characterized as a mostly homogeneous population of anionic phospholipid molecules having two hydrocarbon chains. The two hydrocarbon chains of the anionic phospholipid molecules are hydrocarbon chains (ie. fatty acids) that may be the same or different species of hydrocarbon chain. Each anionic phospholipid molecule may have two of the same fatty acid chains, or two different fatty acid chains. In the case of a synthetic anionic phospholipid of the invention with each phospholipid molecule having two different fatty acid chains, the order of chains proximal to the phosphate bound carbon is not critical and can vary within the population of mostly homogeneous molecules.

[0257] The concentration of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor in the composition of the present invention varies depending on the pharmacological activities or kinetics in blood of the compound, and is usually about 0.001-about 5% (W/V), preferably about 0.01-about 2% (W/V), more preferably about 0.1-about 0.5% (W/V). It is also possible to set the content of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor in the composition of the present invention to about 1-about 5000 mg, preferably about 10-about 2000 mg, more preferably about 100-about 1000 mg, per 100 ml of the composition. Furthermore, the content of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor in the composition of the present invention can be adjusted to about 0.001-about 95 wt %, preferably about 0.01-about 30 wt %, more preferably about 0.1-about 3 wt %, based on the total volume of the composition.

[0258] The proportion (wt %) of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor relative to the disperse phase comprising an oil component and an emulsifier is generally about 0.0047-about 24%, preferably about 0.047-about 9.4%, more preferably about 0.47-about 2.4%.

[0259] The composition of the present invention is adjusted to have a pH of not more than about 6, more specifically about 3-about 6, preferably about 3-about 5.5, more preferably about 3-about 5, still more preferably about 3-about 4.5.

[0260] The pH adjusting agent is exemplified by phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and the like, with particular preference given to hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide and the like.

[0261] The composition of the present invention is preferably used as, for example, an injectable composition.

[0262] The composition of the present invention can be produced principally according to a known method or a method analogous thereto. The emulsification can be conducted in a conventional emulsifying technique. It is preferable to disperse or dissolve the inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor in an oil component beforehand. For example, a mixture of (1) a disperse phase containing the oil component and the emulsifier, and (2) the inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor is dispersed in water to give a composition consisting of an O/W type or S/O/W type emulsion.

[0263] Preferred examples of the method include a method comprising homogenizing a heterogeneous mixture containing a mixture of the main drug, an oil component, an emulsifier, and where necessary, an additive such as an isotonic agent and the like and water in the aforementioned emulsifying apparatus to give a roughly emulsified emulsion, followed by, if necessary, adding water, further homogenizing the resultant rough emulsion using an emulsifying apparatus and removing large particles by a filtering means such as a filter and the like to give an oil-in-water composition. The aforementioned mixture is generally heated to, for example, about 30-about 90° C., preferably about 40-about 80° C. to dissolve or disperse the main drug. Examples of the emulsifying apparatus for the emulsification of the heterogeneous mixture containing the aforementioned mixture and water include a conventional apparatus such as a homogenizer including a pressure jetting homogenizer, an ultrasonic homogenizer and the like, and a homomixer such as a high-rate mixer and the like. For removing large particles having a particle size of not less than about 5 μm, preferably not less than about 1 μm, more preferably not less than about 0.5 μm, the homogenized emulsion is frequently subjected to a filtering means such as a filter.

[0264] In the composition of the present invention, the mean particle size of the disperse phase wherein the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor is dissolved, is, for example, mostly about 0.01-about 5 μm (about 10-about 5000 nm), preferably about 0.02-about 1 μm (about 20-about 1000 nm), more preferably about 0.03-about 0.5 μm (about 30-about 500 nm).

[0265] In view of the stability of the composition of the present invention and biodistribution after administration, the mean particle size in the disperse phase wherein the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor is dissolved, is, for example, about 25-about 500 nm, preferably about 50-about 300 nm, more preferably about 100-about 300 nm (particularly about 150-about 260 nm).

[0266] A pyrogen can be removed from the composition of the present invention according to a method known per se.

[0267] The composition of the present invention is subjected to nitrogen gas displacement, sterilized and sealed as necessary.

[0268] Since the composition of the present invention has a pH adjusted to not more than about 6, the inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor, as well as the composition of the present invention show superior stability even after sterilization in an autoclave etc. Particularly, because the composition of the present invention contains the anionic synthetic phospholipid and the naturally-occurring phospholipid in specific proportions, more superior stability can be maintained.

[0269] In the composition of the present invention, moreover, the concentration of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor can be increased. By controlling the particle size of the disperse phase particle, retentivity in blood, blood vessel permeability and migration performance into inflammatory site can be enhanced. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics and biodistribution of the inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor can be improved, thereby enabling targeting, which in turn leads to more effective administration of a drug with less side effect. Thus, the composition of the present invention is useful for the treatment of target disease particularly by an intravenous administration.

[0270] Since an inventive Compound, a salt thereof and a prodrug therefor have low toxicity, an nitric oxide (NO) production-inhibiting effect and an inhibitory effect on the production of an inflammatory cytokine such as TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-6, the composition of the present invention, which contains the inventive Compound, a salt thereof or a prodrug therefor is useful as a therapeutic and/or prophylactic agent in a mammal (e.g., cat, cattle, dog, horse, goat, monkey, human and the like) against heart disease, autoimmune disease, inflammatory disease, central nervous system disease, infectious disease, sepsis, septic shock and the like, including ichorrhemia, endotoxin shock, exotoxin shock, cardiac deficiency, shock, hypotension, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, gastritis, ulcerative colitis, peptic ulcer, stress-induced gastric ulcer, Crohn's disease, autoimmune disease, post-transplant tissue failure and rejection, postischemic re-perfusion failure, acute coronary microvascular embolism, shock-induced vascular embolism (disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and the like), ischemic cerebral disorder, arterial sclerosis, malignant anemia, Fanconi's anemia, drepanocythemia, pancreatitis, nephrose syndrome, nephritis, renal failure, insulin-dependent diabetes, insulin-independent diabetes, hepatic porphyria, alcoholism, Parkinson's disease, chronic leukemia, acute leukemia, tumor, myeloma, side effects of anticancer agents, infantile and adult respiratory distress syndrome, pulmonary emphysema, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, vitamin E deficiency, aging, sunburn, muscular dystrophy, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, myocardial infarction, sequela of myocardial infaction, osteoporosis, pneumonia, hepatitis, psoriasis, pain, cataract, influenza infection, malaria, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, radiation-induced failure, burn, in vitro fertilization efficiency, hypercalcemia, tonic spondylitis, osteopenia, bone Behcet's disease, osteomalacia, fracture, acute bacterial meningitis, Helicobactor pylori infection, invasive staphylococcal infection, tuberculosis, systemic mycosis, herpes simplex virus infection, varicella-helpes zoster virus infection, human papilloma virus infection, acute viral encephalitis, encephalitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, reflux esophargitis, fever, hyper cholesteremia, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, diabetic complication, diabetic renal disease, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, gout, gastric atony, hemorrhoid, systemic lupus erythematosus, spinal damage, insomnia, schizophrenia, epilepsy, cirrhosis, hepatic failure, instable angina, valvular disease, dialysis-induced thrombocytopenia, acute ischemic cerebral apoplexy, acute cerebral thrombosis, cancer metastasis, urinary bladder cancer, mammary cancer, uterine cervical cancer, colon cancer, gastric cancer, ovarian cancer, prostatic cancer, parvicellular pulmonary cancer, non-parvicellular pulmonary cancer, malignant melanoma, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma and the like.

[0271] While the dose of the composition of the present invention may vary depending on the kind of the inventive Compound, age, body weight and condition, the dosage form, the mode and the period of the treatment, it may, for example, be generally about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg, more preferably about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg, most preferably about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg, and particularly about 1.5 to about 30 mg/kg, as the inventive Compound (Iaa) or (Ie), per day in a patient having a sepsis (adult weighing about 60 kg), said daily dose being given intravenously all at once or in several portions during a day. It is a matter of course that a lower daily dose may be sufficient or an excessive dose may be required since the dose may vary depending on various factors as discussed above.

[0437] While the dose of the pharmaceutical composition of the combination drug varies depending on the kind of the combination drug, the patient's age, body weight and condition, the dosage form, the mode and the period of the treatment, the amount of the combination drug may, for example, be generally about 0.01 to about 1000 mg/kg, preferably about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg, more preferably about 0.1 to about 100 mg/kg, most preferably about 0.1 to about 50 mg/kg, and particularly about 1.5 to about 30 mg/kg per day in a patient (adult weighing about 60 kg), said daily dose being given intravenously all at once or in several portions during a day. It is a matter of course that a lower daily dose may be sufficient or an excessive dose may be required since the dose may vary depending on various factors as discussed above.

[0438] The combination drug may be contained in any amount as long as a side effect does not pose a problem. While the daily dose of the combination drug may vary depending on the disease state, the age, sex, body weight and difference in sensitivity of the administration object, timing and interval of administration, characteristics of the pharmaceutical preparation, dispensing, kind, the kind of active ingredient and the like and is not particularly limited, the amount of the drug is generally about 0.001-2000 mg, preferably about 0.01-500 mg, more preferably about 0.1-100 mg, per 1 kg body weight of mammal by oral administration, which is generally administered all at once or in 2 to 4 portions during a day.

[0439] When the composition of the present invention and the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug are concurrently administered, they may be administered at the same time, or the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug may be administered first, and then the composition of the present invention may be administered. Alternatively, the composition of the present invention may be administered first, and then the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug may be administered. For time stagger administration, the time difference varies depending on the active ingredient to be administered, dosage form and administration route. For example, when the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug is to be administered first, the composition of the present invention is administered within 1 min-3 days, preferably 10 min-1 day, more preferably 15 min-1 hour, after the administration of the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug. When the composition of the present invention is to be administered first, the pharmaceutical composition of a combination drug is administered within 1 min-1 day, preferably 10 min-6 hours, more preferably 15 min-1 hour, after the administration of the composition of the present invention.

[0440] The present invention is further described with referring to Reference Examples, Examples and Experiments, which are not intended to restrict the invention.

[0441] A ¹H NMR spectrum was determined by a VARIAN GEMINI 200 (200 MHz) spectrometer using tetramethyl silane as an internal standard and represented as the entire 6 values in ppm. The number in a bracket when a solvent mixture was employed is the volume ratio of each mixture. A % is a % by weight unless otherwise specified. The ratio of the solvents in a chromatography on silica gel is the volume ratio of the solvents to be admixed.

[0442] A more polar diastereomer means a diastereomer having a smaller Rf value when determined by a normal phase thin layer chromatography under a same condition (for example using ethyl acetate/hexane as an eluent), which a less polar diastereomer means a diastereomer having a larger Rf value in such determination.

[0443] The meanings of the abbreviations as used in the Examples are as follows:

[0444] s: singlet d: doublet: t: triplet q: quartet

[0445] DD: double doublet tt: triple triplet m: multiplet br: broad J: coupling constant

[0560] Compound 72 (2000 mg) of Reference Example B66 is dissolved in soybean oil (40 g). Glycerine (4.5 g), purified egg yolk lecithin (2.4 g) and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (2 mg) are dissolved/dispersed in distilled water (125 ml) at 60° C. These are mixed and roughly emulsified in a homogenizer Polytron (ULTRA TURRAX) at 16,000/min for 1 min. The volume is adjusted to 200 ml in a measuring cylinder with distilled water. Using a high pressure homogenizer microfluidizer (Mizuho) at 15000 psi pressure for 40 minutes, the crude emulsion is finely emulsified. The obtained emulsion composition is passed through a membrane filter (Millipore Sterivex-HV) having a pore size of 0.45 μm, and filled in 2 ml ampoules by 2 ml. After nitrogen displacement, the ampoules are heat-sealed. The ampoules are sterilized in an autoclave at 121° C. for 15 min to give an emulsion composition having the above-mentioned formulation.
