Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for treating allergic diseases. SOLUTION: Optically pure (-) cetirizine is used for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis in humans, while avoiding the concomitant liability of adverse effects associated with the racemic mixture of cetirizine. The optically pure (-) isomer is also useful for the treatment of allergic asthma and chronic and physical urticaria. The (-) cetirizine is an eosinophilic chemotactic inhibitor, and is thereby useful for treating allergic asthma, seasonal allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatosis, some kinds of parasitic diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and other diseases related to eosinophilia such as specific gastrointestinal tract and urinary organ disorders.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject composition capable of avoiding cardiovascular system side effects caused by the administration of terfenadine by adding a terfenadine carboxylate and a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine or non-narcotic analgesic medicine. SOLUTION: This medicinal composition contains (A) a terfenadine carboxylate 4-[1-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxydiphenylmethyl-1-piperidinyl)butyl]-α,α- dimethylbenzene acetate, 1[p-(2-hydroxymethylprop-2-yl-phenyl]-4-[4-(α-hydroxy-α- phenylbenzyl)piperidin-1-yl]butanol, etc.}, of the formula (Z is COOH, COOCH3, etc.), which is a metabolic derivative of the terfenadine, and (B) a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine or a non-narcotic analgesic medicine (for example, acetylsalicylate, ibuprofen). The component A and the component B are preferably contained in amounts of 20-200 mg and 25-600 mg, respectively.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a medicine useful for antihistamine treatments and capable of avoiding to cause cardiac edema by using a composition containing a terfenadine carboxylate. SOLUTION: A medicinal composition containing a terfenadine carboxylate 4-[1-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxydiphenylmethyl-1-piperidinyl)butyl]-α, α- dimethylbenzene acetic acid methyl ester, 4-[1-hydroxy-4-(4- hydroxydiphenylmethyl-1-piperidinyl)butyl]-α,-α-dimethylbenzene acetic acid, 1-[p-(2-hydroxymethylprop-2-yl)-phenyl]-4-[4-(α-hydroxy-α-phenylbenzyl)piperidin-1- yl]butanol, etc.}, of the formula (Z is COOH, COOCH3, CH2OH) which is a metabolic derivative of the terfenadine is used. The compound of the formula is preferably administered at a daily dose of 0.01-500 mg.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject composition capable of avoiding cardiovascular system side effects such as QT extension and ventricular arhythmia caused by the administration of terfenadine by adding a specific optically pure terfenadine carboxylate. SOLUTION: This medicinal composition contains an optically pure R-(+)- terfenadine carboxylate R-(+)-4-[1-hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxydiphenylmethyl-1- piperidinyl)butyl]-α,α-dimethylbenzene acetic acid methyl ester, R-(+)-4-[1- hydroxy-4-(4-hydroxydiphenylmethyl-1-piperidinyl)butyl]-α, α-dimethylbenzene acetic acid, R-(+)-1-[p-(2-hydroxymethylprop-2-yl)-phenyl]-4-[4-(α-hydroxy-α- phenylvenzel)piperidin-1-yl]butanol, etc.}, which does not contain a S(-)- stereoisomer. The compound of the formula (Z is COOH, etc.), is preferably administered at a daily dose of 0.01-500 mg.
