Abstract
Disclosed herein are anti-inflammatory and anti-ulcer copper coordination compounds and a process for using them in the treatment of arthritis and gastrointestinal ulcers in animal bodies. The copper coordination compounds utilized are the reaction products of copper salts with: 1. aromatic carboxylic acids or their alkaline earth salts; 2. heterocyclic carboxylic acids or their alkaline earth salts; 3. amino acids or their alkaline earth salts; 4. amines; and 5. suitably substituted steroids. The process disclosed comprises administering to experimental animals, orally or parentrally (subcutaneously), in controlled dosages, the aforementioned copper coordination compounds for the treatment of inflammation (i.e., arthritis) and ulcers of the gastrointestinal tract.
Claims7
A method for treating gastrointestinal ulcers in an animal body comprising:
- administering to said animal body, orally or parenterally, a copper coordination compound having anti-ulcergenic properties produced by reacting a copper salt with an aromatic carboxylic acid or alkaline earth salt thereof selected from the grou consisting of 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid and salicylic acid and alkaline earth salts thereof, the amount of said copper coordination compound administered to said animal body being about 2.0 to 165 mg per kilogram of body weight.
A method for treating gastrointestinal ulcers in an animal body comprising:
- administering to said animal body, orally or parenterally, a copper coordination compound having anti-ulcergenic properties produced by reacting a copper salt with 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid, acetylsalicylic acid or salicylic acid and the alkaline earth salts thereof, the amount of said copper coordination compound administered to said animal body being about 2.0 to 165 mg per kilogram of body weight.
A method for treating gastrointestinal ulcers in an animal body comprising:
- administering to said animal body, orally or parenterally, a copper coordination compound having anti-ulcergenic properties produced by reacting a copper salt with 3,5-diisopropylsalicylic acid or its alkaline earth salts.
A method for treating gastrointestinal ulcers in an animal body comprising:
- administering to said animal body, orally or parenterally, a copper coordination compound having anti-ulcergenic properties produced by reacting a copper salt with acetylsalicylic acid or its alkaline earth salts.
A method for treating gastrointestinal ulcers in an animal body comprising:
- administering to said animal body, orally or parenterally, a copper coordination compound having anti-ulcergenic properties produced by reacting a copper salt with salicylic acid or its alkaline earth salts.
