DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
This application is a 371 of PCT/JP95/01798, filed Sep. 11, 1995.
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a preparation for external use comprising an anti-inflammatory or antiphlogistic with carboxylic groups in the molecule, l-menthol and a metal salt of a fatty acid, and it also relates to a patch having the preparation spread thereon. More particularly, it relates to a novel preparation comprising an antiphlogistic with carboxylic groups in the molecule, l-menthol as a solubilizer for the antiphlogistic or as a medicinally efficacious ingredient or a cooling agent, and a fatty acid metal salt as a stabilizer or esterification preventer for the antiphlogistic, and it also relates to a novel patch having the preparation spread thereon.
BACKGROUND ART
Attempts to use in therapies a so-called preparation-on-tape wherein an antiphlogistic is made to be contained in an oily adhesive, have widely been made; for example, Japanese Pat. Appln. Laid-Open Gazette No. 59-227819 (No. 227819/84) discloses that a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic is made to be contained in an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive applied on a composite composed of a non-woven cloth and a film, for an attempt to be administered to patients. Japanese Pat. Appln. Laid-Open Gazette No. 60-139615 (No. 139615/85) discloses that ketoprofen contained in an adhesive composed of a polyisobutylene/paraffin/rosin-modified glycerol ester is attempted to be percutaneously absorbed into patients. Japanese Pat. Appln. Laid-Open Gazette No. 63-227524 (No. 227524/88) discloses that flurbiprofen contained in an oily base is attempted to be administered to patients. Further, Japanese Pat. Appln. Laid-Open Gazette No. 64-40420 (No. 40420/89) discloses that a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic with carboxyl groups in the molecule contained in an oily base is attempted to be administered. Any of the above attempts, however, did not achieve satisfactory release and percutaneous absorbability of the drug. Thus, further excellent preparations have been sought for.
It was previously disclosed in the International Pat. Appln. (Publication No. WO 93/04677) filed by the same applicant as that of this invention that a preparation-on-tape composed of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic such as ketoprofen, a rosin ester derivative and l-menthol as a solubilizer exhibited a great increase in percutaneous absorbability of the drug. Although the above preparation-on-tape so disclosed achieved initial objects such as a great increase in percutaneous absorbability and releasability of the drug, a decrease in side effects such as skin rash caused by repeated application of the tape to the skin and the expedient usability of the drug at the place of remedy, it has thereafter been found that the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic as the main drug is reacted with l-menthol used as a solubilizer to produce a l-menthol ester whereby is raised a problem particularly as to the stability and the like of the main drug.
The object of this invention is to provide a preparation for external use wherein particularly an anti-inflammatory drug maintains its stability while maintaining satisfactory releasability and percutaneous absorbability of the drug, and also to provide a patch having said preparation attached thereto.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors made intensive studies in an attempt to achieve the above object of this invention and, as the result of their studies, found that a formulation obtained by combining an anti-inflammatory drug having carboxylic groups in the molecule and l-menthol as a solubilizer for the drug or as a medicinally efficacious ingredient or cooling agent, will surprisingly be much improved in the stability and esterification preventability of the drug while maintaining the high releasability and percutaneous absorbability thereof, by adding a metal salt of a fatty acid to said formulation thereby to obtain a preparation of this invention.
In summary, this invention resides principally in a preparatio
