example 1

Preparation of a Booster:

A 5% human serum albumin (8 ml) in a 10 ml-volume syringe is exposed to ultrasound with a sonicator (frequency, 20 KHz) by which vibration is given to the human serum albumin and a plenty of microbubbles of air are formed in the human serum albumin to give a booster comprising a human serum albumin containing a plenty of microbubbles of air.

example 2

Preparation of a Pharmaceutical Liquid Composition:

The 5% human serum albumin containing a plenty of microbubbles of air prepared in Example 1 is mixed with urokinase (concentration 1200 IU / ml) to give the desired pharmaceutical liquid composition.

Experiment

1. Forming Artificial Thrombosis

An artificial thrombosis was formed by Chandler's method. A blood (1 ml) collected from healthy human (two persons) was entered into a flexibale tube (inside diameter 3 mm, length 265 mm) and thereto was added calcium chloride, and then the tube was made a loop like shape, which was rotated at 12 r.p.m. for 20 minutes to give an artificial thrombosis model.

2. Ultrasonic Catheter

A ceramic ultrasonic element (width 2 mm, length 5 mm, thickness 1 mm) was inserted into the tip of a cetheter (diameter 2 mm), and an oscillating element was connected to an oscillator provided outside with a fine connector passed through the catheter. A fine tube for pouring a test solution was provided at an opening oppos...

Abstract

A booster comprising a plenty of microbubbles of a gas in a liquid, e.g. about 4x107 cells/ml of microbubbles of a gas having a diameter of 0.1 to 100 mu m in a 3 to 5% human serum albumin solution, and a pharmaceutical liquid composition comprising the booster as set forth above and a medicament, which are useful for the therapy of various diseases together with exposure of ultrasonic, where the therapeutic effects of the medicament is enhanced by the application of ultrasound in the presence of the booster.

Description

This invention relates to a booster useful for enhancing the effects of ultrasound in the therapy of various diseases and a pharmaceutical liquid composition containing the booster and a medicament which shows enhanced diffusion and penetration of the medicament into the body by applying ultrasound. More particularly, it relates to a booster useful for therapy of various disease by applying ultrasound which comprises a plenty of microbubbles of a gas in a liquid, a pharmaceutical liquid composition comprising a plenty of microbubbles of a gas and a medicament in a liquid, and the use thereof in the therapy of various diseases while applying ultrasound.Prior ArtIt is known that various diseases are remedied by the aid of ultrasonic vibration. For example, it is described in Japanese Patent First Publication (Kokai) No. 115591 / 1977, etc. that percutaneous absorption of a medicament is enhanced by applying a ultrasonic vibration. Japanese Patent First Publication (Kokai) No. 180275 / 199...
