Description
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
(1) The present invention is an oral, aqueous liquid formulation containing one or more of a phosphorylated myoinsoitol (or optical isomer thereof), including without limitation the various mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, or hexaphosphates or any mono-, di-, tri- or tetra-pyrophosphate groups, (or combinations thereof up to and including 9 phosphate groups, where a pyrophopsphate is counted as 2 phosphate groups). As used herein, when the term “inositol” is used without any designation as to the particular isomer involved it is to be construed as the genus of all 90f the optical isomers thereof unless the context of the particular sentence of paragraph require otherwise. The mono phosphates can be selected from those having the phosphate group at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the inositol 6 member ring. The di-monphosphates can be selected from the those having the 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,3-, 24-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, 3,5-, 3,6-, 4,5-, 4,6-, and 5,6-diphosphate substitution pattern. The tri-monophosphates can be selected from those having the 1,2,3-, the 1,2,4-, 1,2,5-, 1,2,6-, 2,3,4-, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-, 2,4,5-, 2,4,6-, 2,5,6-, 3,4,5-, 3,4,6-, and 4,5,6-trimonophosphate substitution pattern. The tetramonophosphates can be selected from those having the 1,2,3,4- 1,2,3,5-, 1,2,3,6-, 1,2,4,5-, 1,2,4,6-, 1,3,4,5-, 1,3,4,6-, 1,4,5,6-, 2,3,4,5-, 2,3,4,6-, 2,4,5,6-, and 3,4,5,6-tetramonophosphate substitution pattern. The pentamonophosphates can be selected from those having the 1,2,3,4,5-, 1,2,3,4,6-, 1,2,3,5,6-, 1,2,4,5,6-, 1,3,4,5,6-, and 2,3,4,5,6-pentamonophosphate substitution pattern. The pyrophosphated inositols can be selected from those having up 1-4 pyrophosphate groups. The monopyrophosphates can be selected from those having the pyrophosphate group at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 of the inositol 6 member ring. The di-pyrophosphates can be selected from the those having the 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, 1,6-, 2,3-, 24-, 2,5-, 2,6-, 3,4-, 3,5-, 3,6-, 4,5-, 4,6-, and 5,6-dipyrophosphate substitution pattern. The tri-pyrophosphales can be selected from those having the 1,2,3-, the 1,2,4-, 1,2,5-, 1,2,6-, 2,3,4-, 2,3,5-, 2,3,6-, 2,4,5-, 2,4,6-, 2,5,6-, 3,4,5-, 3,4,6-, and 4,5,6-tripyrophosphate substitution pattern. The tetrapyrophosphates can be selected from those having the 1,2,3,4- 1,2,3,5-, 1,2,3,6-, 1,2,4,5-, 1,2,4,6-, 1,3,4,5-, 1,3,4,6-, 1,4,5,6-, 2,3,4,5-, 2,3,4,6-, 2,4,5,6-, and 3,4,5,6-tetrapyrophsophate substitution pattern. Combinations of monophosphate and pyrophosphate substitutions in a single compound are also possible and may be selected from any of the mono-monophosphates, di-monophosphates, trimonophosphates, tetramonophosphates, and pentamonophosphates mentioned above having pyrophosphate groups on any of the remaining available positions that are not monophosphated so long as the number of monophosphate groups+twice the number of pyrophosphate groups does not exceed 9. Preferably, the phosphorylated compounds are selected from tetra-monophosphate, penta-monophosphate, hexamonophosphate, petamonophosho-monopyrophosphate, and tetrmonophophospho-dipyrophosphate. Particularly preferred are myoinositol hexaphosphate (IPO), myoinositol pentaphosphate, myoinositolpentamonophospho-monopyrophosphate, myoinositoltetramonophospho-dipyrophosphate, the corresponding phosphated (inclusive of pyrophosphorylated) D-chiroinositol analogs thereof, and the corresponding phosphated (inclusive of pyrophosphorylated) scylloinositol analogs thereof. The phosphorylated inositol component is in an effective amount as a nutritional supplement; and/or an effective amount as a medicinal for the treatment of, prevention of, or reduction of the risk of developing a cancer including, without limitation, of the skin, lung, multiple myeloma, leukemia, prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, breast, liver, throat, even viral HPV induced throat cancer, or colon; and/or an effective amount for the treatment of, prevention of, and/or reduction in the risk of damage to cells caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Other utilities and aspects of the present invention include protection of those going to high elevations (particularly pilots, extreme mountain climbers, as well as astronauts) as a protectant prophylactically against radiation exposure due to lesser protective effects of the atmosphere against ambient radiation, and environmental toxins. i.e., car exhaust, pollution, radiation, and known toxic free radical generating chemicals. (One particularly troublesome group of compound in the environment includes phthalates, which are known to generate free radical oxygen species in-vivo, and thus, the present invention is useful to offset the undesirable effects thereof.) Similarly, the present invention is also useful as a prophylactic measure against some of the accidental or routine radiation exposure involved with nuclear power plant operators and those involved in mining and refining of radioactive materials. It should be realized that the present invention is not expected to fully cure or fully prevent such effects of radiation exposure, but is of use in minimizing or reducing the effects that would result in the absence of use of the invention or any other preventative measure. Still further utilities for the present invention include usage before, during, or after radiation treatments, which radiation treatments are either for disease treatment (as in radiation for cancer therapy) or diagnostic purposes, such as CAT scans, X-rays, etc., as a partial protectant against at least some of the undesirable effects of such radiation exposure. Human exposure to urban air pollution may trigger toxic responses in brain cells, impacting neurodegenerative disease pathways. As such, the present invention is of use in the prevention and/or treatment of neurodegenerative disease states such as, without limitation, Alzheimer's and brain tumors. A particularly preferred non-limiting embodiment for such neurodegenerative conditions is one which utilizes at least one inositol or inositol phosphate(s) having the scylloinositol optical isomer configuration.
(2) In addition to the phosphorylated inositol (any inoitol isomer) component and water, the formulations optionally may also contain, one or more of (any) unphosphorylated inositol. (in one non-limiting embodiment, the unphosphorylated inositol is myoinositol and the phosphorylated inositol is myoinositol hexaphosphate.) Still further optional components of the present formulation include nutritionally acceptable monovalent electrolytes (including without being limited thereto, cations such as, without limitation sodium, and potassium, and anions such as, without limitation chloride; non-limiting examples of which include sodium chloride, and potassium chloride) as are known in the nutritional supplement arts and/or vitamins (including, without limitation thereto the B vitamins (including without limitation thiamine (vitamin B1); riboflavin (vitamin B2); niacin and/or nicotinamide (vitamin B3); pantothenic acid (vitamin B5); pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and/or pyridoxine HCl (vitamin B6); biotin (vitamin B7); folic acid (vitamin 89), and cobalamine (vitamin 812) and vitamin C), as well as herbal extracts. (Nutritionally available salts and esters of the various vitamins may be used in place of the specifically stated vitamin.) The above vitamins and electrolytes are used in amounts such that from 1 to 4 doses (whether as 30 ml, 60 ml, 90 ml, 120 ml, 150 ml, 180 ml, or 240 mil per dose) delivers from %/4 to the full US RDA independently for each one present in a particular formulation (although lesser amounts are acceptable but just not preferred). The formulations of the invention may also optionally contain one or more of flavors (such as without limitation, coconut, grape, blueberry, pomegranate, apple, strawberry, kiwi, dragonftuit, lemon, lime, raspberry, mango, etc), sweeteners (such as without limitation, sucrose, fructose, glucose, stevia, aspartame, rebaudioside A, sucralose, mannitol, xylitol, syrups, etc.), colorings, stabilizers, pH adjusters, preservatives (such as without limitation, sodium benzoate), etc, as well as thickeners and processing aids as may be generally known in the beverage and/or liquid nutritional supplement arts in amounts generally known as acceptable in the art.
(3) Effective amounts of the phosphorylated inositol component (or optical isomers thereof, when used without other inositol components range from about 0.5 to about 4% (w/v), preferably about 0.75 to about 3% w/v, more preferably about 1 to about 2.5% w/v, still more preferably about 1.1 to about 2% w/v, even more preferably 1.2 to about 1.5% w/v, and most preferably about 1.25% w/v, most preferable & effective dose 2%-4% (w/v) phosphorylated inositol with a daily dosing typically in the range such that about 0.5 to about 18 grams per day, preferably about 1.0 to about 15 grams per day, more preferably about 1.2 to about 10 grams per day, still more preferably about 2.4 to about 8 grams per day, yet more preferably about 3.6 to about 7 grams per day, and most preferably about 4.8 grams to about 5.5 grams per day of phosphorylated inositol is administered. When combined with myoinositol, the phosphorylated component is combined with the unphosphorylated inositols (preferably myoinositol) in a ratio of the phosphorylated component to unphosphorylated inositols (most preferably myoinositol) of about 6:1 to 1:6, preferably about 5:1 to about 1:5, more preferably about 4:1 to about 1:4, still more preferably about 3:1 to about 1:3, even more preferably about 2:1 to about 1:2, most preferably about 1:1, each being a molar ratio. Other suitable ratios include, without limitation, preferably about 4.5:1 to about 1:1, more preferably about 4.25:1 to about 3:1, still more preferably about 4:1 of the phosphorylated inositol component to unphosphorylated inositols (a non-limiting preferred being myoinositol) on a molar basis. Nonetheless, the specific concentration in a given drink may be more or less (including multiple times or fractions thereof (if the volume of the drink per daily dose is properly adjusted to compensate therefore). Thus, for example, for a 1.25% w/v solution of myoinositolhexaphosphate (IP6), where a drink is intended to deliver 3000 mg/240 ml with a serving or dose size of 240 ml (i.e. to deliver a 6 g dose of myoinositol hexaphosphate in two 240 ml doses, typically administered as 240 ml twice daily), an alternate drink having 1500 mg/120 ml with a serving or dose size of 120 ml (either taken 4 times a day or in the situation where a lower dosing is desired, less frequently), or another alternate of 62.5 mg/5 ml where significantly lower amounts are desired. Adjustment of dosings for smaller than average or larger than average adults or for adolescents or children will generally be within the skill of one of ordinary skill in the art given the foregoing ranges for a typical adult. When used in combination with other inositol species, the specific amount of phosphorylated component may be reduced somewhat, but preferably, the other inositol species are added to the above mentioned amounts of the phosphorylated component. In one particularly preferred embodiment, the invention has myoinositolohexaphosphate optionally with or without myoinositol as the only inositol species. When an IP6 is used in combination with an unphosphorylated inositol, the most preferred ratio is stated above is a molar ratio of 1:1 and in a most preferable, but non-limiting embodiment, the total daily dose of such a ratio is about 4.8 grams of the myoIP6 (or isomer thereof) together with 1.32 grams of the unphosphorylated myoinositol (or isomer thereof).
(4) As to the inositol optical isomers that may be used for the invention there are myoinositol, scylloinositol, mucoinositol. D-chiroinositol, L-chiroinositol, neoinositol, alloinositol, epiinositol, and/or cisinositol, with myoinositol, and D-chiroinositol being preferred and myoinositol being most preferred. As to the isomers of the phosphorylated inositol component, one may use the any of the phosphates and pyrophosphates set forth in paragraph 0031 above with any of the inositol optical isomers of the preceding sentence, with myoinositol hexaphosphate, D-chiroinositol hexaphosphate, and scylloinositol hexaphopshate being non-limiting preferred species and myoinositol hexaphosphate being a non-limiting most preferred species.
(5) As the optional free radical scavengers, any orally acceptable free radical scavenger known in the art is a is acceptable for use in the present invention, for example, without limitation, N-Acetyl-L-cysteine. L-Ascorbic acid. Balsalazide (typically available as the disodium salt hydrate), Caffeic acid, (−)-Catechin gallate, Chlorogenic acid, Delphinidin chloride, Diosmin, Ellagic acid, (−)-Epicatechin, Fucoxanthin carotenoid antioxidant. (−)-Gallocatechin, (−)-Gallocatechin gallate, Gallic acid, Ginkgolide B, 3-Hydroxytyrosol, Luteolin, Lycopene, Neochlorogenic acid, Resveratrol, Rutin hydrate, Seleno-L-methionine, Se-(Methyl)selenocysteine hydrochloride, Ubiquinol (liposomal encapsulated Qunol) CoQ10, and Sodium selenite, most preferably L-ascorbic acid. The optional orally acceptable free radical scavengers can be used in amounts generally known as acceptable in the art; when ascorbic acid is used, it is preferably present in amounts of about 30 mg/120 ml of solution (i.e., about 0.025% w/v) or 60 mg/120 ml of solution (about 0.05% w/v). Although, optional, of these, Ubiquinol in an orally administrable, absorbable form is a non-limiting, but particularly preferred species. Such orally administrable and absorbable forms of Ubiquinol are set forth in U.S. Pat. No. 6,455,072 which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference. When used, the Ubiquinol is present in an amount of up to about 300 mg Ubiquinol per dose, preferably up to about 250 mg, more preferably up to 200 mg. In other embodiments, the Ubiquinol is present in at least 50 mg/dose, at least 100 mg/dose, and most preferably at about 200 mg/dose.
(6) An additional known free radical/reactive oxygen scavenger, for use in the present invention is Genistein. In the present invention, when Genistein is used, it is used in amounts in the range (in mg/kg/day) of from a lower end of about 1 to about 5 mg to an upper range end of about 10 to about 50 mg. Exemplary dosing ranges (in mg/kg/day) include (without limitation) those with a range lower limit of about 1 mg, about 2 mg, about 3 mg, about 4 mg, about 5 mg, about 6 mg, about 7 mg, about 8 mg, about 9 mg, about 10 mg, about 12.5 mg, about 15 mg, about 17.5 mg, about 20 mg, about 25 mg, about 30 mg, about 35 mg, and about 40 mg and having an upper end point of the range selected from about 10 mg, about 12.5 mg, about 15 mg, about 17.5 mg, about 20 mg, about 25 mg, about 30 mg, about 35 mg, about 40 mg, about 45 mg, and about 50 mg. Within these ranges, preferred dosages are in the range (in mg/kg/day) of about 1 to about 30 mg, more preferably about 2 to about 20 mg, still more preferably about 3 to about 15 mg, even more preferably about 5 to about 12.5 mg, most preferably about 10 mg. In the present invention, when Genistein is used, it is used in combination with one or more the other inositiol isomers and/or the inositol hexaphosphate isomers mentioned herein, preferably the Genistein is used in combination with at least one unphosphorylated inositol isomer and at least one phosphorylated inositol isomer, most preferably at least one of a tetramonophosphate, a pentamonophosphate, a hexamonophosphate, a pentamonophospho-monopyrophosphate, a tetramonophospho-dipyrophosphate of at least one inositol isomer. In some particulaily preferred embodiments myoinsitol hexaphosphate and myoinositol is used. In others, the corresponding hexaphosphate and unphosphorylated combination of the other inositol isomers are used in which the phosphphorylated component is the hexaphosphate of the unphosphorylated inositol used. Whether the Genistein is used in combination with inositols which are (a) only phosphorylated inositol isomers, or (b) combinations of unphosphorytlated inositol isomers AND phosphorylated inositol isomers, the benefits of the invention may be obtained. The non-limiting preferred unphosphorpylated inostitol isomers for the Genastein containing embodiments are selected from myoinositol, D-chiroinositol, and scylloinositol. Independently, the preferred phosphorylated inositol isomers for use in the Genistein containing embodiments are selected from myoinositol phosphates, D-chiroinositol phosphates, and scylloinositol phosphates (each inclusive of the full range of monophosphato and pyrophosphate- and mixed monophosphato-pyrophosphato groups set forth above). These Genistein and Insoitol isomeric combinations (whether phosphorylated or unphosphorylated or both) may be used as is or in combination with the other (non-inositol type) components (mentioned herein) in analogous manners as set forth herein with respect to the compositions that do not mention Genistein specifically.
(7) The combination use of Genistein and the inositols and/or the inositol phosphates as described above gives rise to the ability to prevent, delay, modulate, reduce, and treat HIV infections, in a substantially enhanced, substantially non-toxic manner, especially as compared to current medicinal agents for use in the treatment and prophylaxis for HIV. Neither the inositol components nor the Genistein component have the known side effects or associated drug toxicities' and/or drug resistance known to occur with current drugs used to treat HIV and/or AIDS cancers and disseminated diseases due to being plant-based, will likely side step the toxicity issues faced with current drugs, a common occurrence or by product of the everyday and life-long use of the pharmaceutical based regimen faced by HIV positive individuals. This product can be preventive, also an adjunct and/or complementary treatment because patients over time do become resistant to their drugs due to HIV mutant infections known to occur in this disease as well as in cancer. Without being confined to the theory, it is believed that instead of acting directly with the virus, Genistein blocks the many cellular processes that appear to be necessary for the virus to infect cells by inducing a conformational change. This conformational change and signal block works along with the inositol isomer components (whether or not phosphorylated) in a synergistic manner with lesser side effects, and better compliance and better user acceptability to achieve positive outcomes in both cancer and HIV. This allows for impeding viral DNA synthesis and cancer growth and/or impeding viral nuclear migration so that the invention Genistein containing compositions can be used in the prevention, treatment, and amelioration of HIV infection of immune cells, especially resting CD4 T-cells.
(8) The present invention offers phosphorylated inositols in an aqueous oral form as a means to reap the therapeutic benefits of this natural product, particularly in lieu of or in addition to a diet high in fiber. One of the advantages of the present invention is that the delivery of undigested phytate IP6 and the other inositol species are in a form in which they are not captured and broken down as readily as solid forms containing these agents.
(9) As previously described, the present invention formulation is used for an oral delivery of the active agents therein for the prevention and/or treatment and/or reduction of the risk of developing cancers such as, without limitation, one or more of skin cancer (inclusive of squamous, basal, and melanoma), breast, prostate, ovarian, pancreatic, lung cancer, colon cancer liver cancer, bone cancer, soft tissue cancer, muscular cancer (such as without limitation,) or a blood cancer (such as without limitation a leukemia)(or as described in Table A above) and/or treatment of damage and/or prevention of damage and/or reduction of the risk of damage to cells by reactive oxygen species free radicals that are generated in the body due to environment or metabolic insult. Environmental or metabolic insult may arise from exposure to a wide variety of factors, including radiation, known carcinogens, and known free oxygen radical generating substances (such as in, without limitation, cigarette smoke, pollutants, radiation exposure (whether natural, or created in the workplace, or incident to diagnostic tests and medical treatments, etc.). For the above purposes, a suitable (non-limiting, exemplary) dose of a formulation of the present invention having about 1% to about 4% w/v of myoinositol hexaphosphate (and/or optical isomer thereof) or other phosphorylated species of myoinositol or its isomers as set forth above (mono-nona phosphates) therein in an amount of about 30 ml to about 480 ml, preferably about 60 ml to about 360 ml, more preferably 90 ml to about 270 ml, still more preferably 360 ml, about 120 ml to about 240 ml, most preferably about 180 ml to about 240 ml at least once to 2 times per day, with variations thereon that will be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art for delivery of about 3 g to about 9 g of myoinositol hexaphosphate (and/or optical isomers thereof) or of the other corresponding phosphates having from 1 to 9 phosphate groups (inclusive of those having pyrophosphate groups in which each pyrophosphate is counted as two of the up to 9 phosphates) on a daily basis for an average adult in 1-2 or 2-4 divided doses a day.
(10) The formulations of the present invention most preferably have the inositol components thereof in solution and preferably are clear, although non-inositol portions of the formulation may make the solution less than completely clear without departing from the invention.
(11) The following non-limiting examples are exemplary only and do not have any limiting effect on the present invention.
Example 1
(12) The following Table I represents a set of inositol hexaphosphate isomers (alone or with an unphosphorylated inositol) for use in the present invention. Table II specifies amounts of the hexaphosphated inositol and the unphosphorylated inositol components, and each is applied independently to the 90 combinations in Table I. For clarity, all of the “A” cells in Table 1 have the respective hexaphosphate mentioned in the left hand column with no unphosphorylated inositol component. All of the “B” cells of Table I have the respective hexaphosphate in combination with unphosphorylated myo-inositol.
