Abstract
Description
[0001] Citation of Related Applications This application claims priority to Chinese patent application with application number 202410164131.7, application date February 5, 2024 and invention name “Drug Combination for Treating Severe Hypertriglyceridemia”, and Chinese patent application with application number 202411662172.5, application date November 20, 2024 and invention name “Drug Combination for Treating Hyperlipidemia”, and the two Chinese patent applications are incorporated herein in their entirety. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to a drug combination of probucol and a statin, a drug composition comprising probucol and a statin, and use of the drug combination and the drug composition for treating hyperlipidemia, in particular severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia. Background Art
[0003] Severe hypertriglyceridemia is a special type of hyperlipidemia. In addition to cardiovascular damage, it can also induce pancreatitis. There are many drugs for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, but the drugs for severe hypertriglyceridemia are relatively single. There are only three oral drugs: fibrates, high-dose fish oil Omega-3, and niacin. In clinical practice, fibrates are the first-line drugs of choice, and fish oil is an auxiliary drug. It takes a long time to take effect and is inferior to fibrates, and niacin is even worse. It is not uncommon for patients to be intolerant to fibrates, such as myolysis, liver and kidney damage, etc. If toxic side effects occur, there is no alternative drug, and the prognosis is very poor, which is a current clinical treatment problem. Other treatment options include biological agents and plasma adsorption, but biological agents are difficult to promote due to side effects and other reasons. Plasma adsorption cannot be widely used due to high technical requirements, high costs, and prominent side effects. In addition, patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia are often accompanied by ASCVD risks or combined with hypercholesterolemia, and need to be treated with statins at the same time. The combination of statins and fibrates enhances toxic side effects. Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for drugs or drug combinations that can replace fibrates in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and significantly reduce low-density lipoprotein-C (LDL-C) and cholesterol with low side effects and good tolerability.
[0004] LDL-C is recognized as the most important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Statins are very effective in controlling low-density cholesterol, but some patients still respond poorly to statins. The benefits of increasing statins are limited, the side effects increase, and other drugs need to be combined. According to the 2023 Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines, when LDL-C is not up to standard after statin treatment, consider combining statins with cholesterol absorption inhibitors (such as ezetimibe) and / or PCSK9 inhibitors. Statins combined with ezetimibe can further reduce LDL-C levels by 18-20% (Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines (2023), Joint Expert Committee for the Revision of the Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines, Chinese Journal of Circulation, March 2023, Vol. 38, No. 3, pp. 237-271). Therefore, there is an urgent clinical need for drugs or drug combinations that can further significantly reduce LDL-C when statin treatment is ineffective or inefficient.
[0005] In addition, regardless of cholesterol or triglyceride indicators, some people have poor responses to existing lipid-lowering drugs and need two or more lipid-lowering drugs in combination. The drugs used in combination are usually at their original doses, which may lead to enhanced toxic and side effects of combined use. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a combination of lipid-lowering drugs with low doses, ideal effects, and low side effects in clinical practice.
[0006] Statins, also known as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG CoA reductase) inhibitors, can significantly reduce TC and LDL-C, and can also slightly reduce serum TG levels. Statins are suitable for the prevention and treatment of hypercholesterolemia, mixed hyperlipidemia and ASCVD. They have poor effects on significant hypertriglyceridemia and chylomicronemia and are not used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia. The existing statins require different doses of statins to achieve the same lipid-lowering goals. It should be noted that doubling the dose of statins will only increase the LDL-C reduction by 6% (the so-called "6% effect of statin efficacy"), see "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults in China (Revised Edition 2016)". Whether the target value can be achieved depends not only on the dose of statins, but also on the patient's baseline LDL-C level. For example, if the LDL-C is 188 mg / dl, it is difficult to achieve the target of <70 mg / dl even with a dose of 80 mg / day of atorvastatin. Moreover, when the dose of statins is doubled, the side effects increase with the dose.
[0007] Probucol (also known as Probucol, Probucol, CAS No.: 23288-49-5) is a bisphenol lipid-lowering compound, and its structure is shown below: Probucol has little effect on triglycerides and is only suitable for hypercholesterolemia with high LDL. The usual dosage is 0.5g / time, twice a day (i.e., a daily dose of 1000 mg). Literature reports that 1 gram per day can reduce cholesterol by 9-29% and LDL-C by 10-15% (Edited by Li Jiatai, Clinical Pharmacology, People's Medical Publishing House, 3rd edition, page 1531). According to the 2023 Chinese Lipid Management Guidelines, probucol is mainly suitable for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and xanthomas. There is no mention of lowering triglycerides, let alone the benefits of combined therapy from lowering triglycerides, especially in severe hypertriglyceridemia, and no mention of the benefits of combining statins to further reduce LDL-C.
[0008] The combination of statins and probucol is mainly used to treat hypercholesterolemia, and there are no reports on the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Statins are not ideal for severe hypercholesterolemia.
[0009] CN106176717A discloses a probucol and lovavastatin compound composition and a preparation method thereof. The ratio of probucol and lovavastatin in the disclosed compound composition is as follows: Probucol Lovastatin Number of copies 15-20 1-3 15 2 20 3 17 1 18 2 Each tablet, mg 100-200 8-15 100 8 100 10 150 13 200 15 The patent application combines two drugs, probucol and lovastatin, to minimize the amount of pharmaceutical excipients. The patent application does not recognize that probucol can produce synergistic effects with statins in terms of therapeutic effects, nor does it recognize that the combination of probucol and statins can be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia and effectively reduce the LDL-C level of ASCVD high-risk, very high-risk and ultra-high-risk patients, thereby preventing or treating hypercholesterolemia described in this article.
[0010] CN101411703A discloses a pharmaceutical composition for treating cardiovascular diseases. The ratio of atorvastatin calcium (molecular weight 1155.342) and probucol in the disclosed composition is as follows: Atorvastatin calcium Probucol 5-100 mg 100-1000 mg 10-40 mg 200-500 mg 10 mg 500 mg The patent application only generally points out that the composition can not only improve the effect of atorvastatin calcium and probucol alone in treating cardiovascular diseases, but also has a synergistic effect. After the pharmaceutical composition is prepared into a pharmaceutical preparation, it can improve the patient's compliance. At the same time, the patent application also claims that the stability test proves that the pharmaceutical composition of atorvastatin calcium and probucol has good stability when preparing the pharmaceutical preparation. The combination of atorvastatin calcium and probucol enhances the stability of atorvastatin calcium in the pharmaceutical preparation. Although the patent application claims a synergistic effect, it does not further explain this, nor does it provide any evidence to illustrate the synergistic effect. From the description of the patent application, the synergistic effect is likely to mean that probucol enhances the stability of atorvastatin calcium in the pharmaceutical preparation. This patent application does not recognize that probucol can have a synergistic therapeutic effect with statins, nor does it recognize that the combination of probucol and statins can be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia and effectively reduce the LDL-C level of patients with high risk, very high risk and ultra-high risk of ASCVD, thereby preventing or treating hypercholesterolemia described in this article.
[0011] CN101766594A discloses a lipid-lowering pharmaceutical composition, in which the ratio of atorvastatin to probucol is as follows: Atorvastatin Probucol 5-80 mg 50-500 mg 5-30 mg 100-500 mg 10 mg 300 mg / 500 mg The patent application uses a hyperlipidemia rat model. From its experimental data, it can be seen that the patent application does not realize that probucol can produce a synergistic effect with statins in terms of therapeutic effects, nor does it realize that the combination of probucol and statins can be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia and effectively reduce the LDL-C level of ASCVD high-risk, very high-risk and ultra-high-risk patients, thereby preventing or treating hypercholesterolemia described in this article.
[0012] CN101455842A discloses a pharmaceutical composition for treating cardiovascular diseases. The ratio of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (selected from lovastatin, pravastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin, atorvastatin, rosuvastatin or pitavastatin) and probucol in the disclosed composition is as follows: HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors Probucol 1-200 mg 100-1000 mg 2-100 mg 200-500 mg 5-50 mg 500 mg Rosuvastatin 5 mg 500 mg Fluvastatin 20 mg 500 mg This patent application does not recognize that probucol can have a synergistic therapeutic effect with statins, nor does it recognize that the combination of probucol and statins can be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia and effectively reduce the LDL-C level of patients with high risk, very high risk and ultra-high risk of ASCVD, thereby preventing or treating hypercholesterolemia described in this article.
[0013] In the above-mentioned Chinese patent application, from the dosage relationship between statins and probucol, probucol is usually used at a conventional dose and statins are used at a dose lower than the conventional dose. There is no prior art report on the combination of statins and probucol for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia, nor on how to use probucol to improve the effect of statins in lowering LDL-C levels to treat hypercholesterolemia. In addition, in the above-mentioned Chinese patent application, either no biological test data are disclosed, or the disclosed biological test data are based on rodent animal models, and these animal models cannot reliably prove the efficacy of the combination of statins and probucol for humans.
[0014] When statins are ineffective, guidelines and textbooks recommend a variety of combined drugs, such as ezetimibe, PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, fibrate (the side effects of the combination of the two increase, but they are still recommended), niacin, and even health supplement fish oil; the instructions for ezetimibe, PCSK9 monoclonal antibody, fibrate, niacin, and fish oil also include instructions for combining statins. Unfortunately, authoritative guidelines at home and abroad do not recommend combining with probucol, and the instructions for probucol do not include instructions for combining with statins. According to the conventional dosage method, probucol is 0.5g each time, twice a day, and taken before bedtime with statins. The combination of two cholesterol-lowering drugs has no effect on improving severe triglyceridemia.
[0015] Li Dongjun et al. (Observation on the efficacy of rosuvastatin combined with probucol in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, "Jilin Medicine" July 2014, Vol. 35, No. 21: 4633-4634) compared the efficacy of rosuvastatin combined with probucol with that of rosuvastatin alone in patients with hyperlipidemia. In the observation group using rosuvastatin and probucol together: rosuvastatin 10 mg, oral administration on an empty stomach in the morning, once a day, probucol 0.5 g, oral administration, twice a day. This treatment method does not use low-dose probucol, nor does it give statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Li Li et al. (Analysis of the effects of rosuvastatin combined with probucol on carotid plaques and inflammatory factors in patients with hyperlipidemia, "Northern Pharmacy" Vol. 14, No. 5, 2017: 53) treated patients with hyperlipidemia and carotid plaques by taking rosuvastatin combined with probucol orally, including: rosuvastatin 10 mg orally, qn, probucol 250 mg orally, bid. This treatment method uses a 500 mg / day dose of probucol and a 10 mg / day dose of rosuvastatin, but does not give statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Wang Xifu (Effects of probucol combined with rosuvastatin on carotid artery plaques and inflammatory factors in patients with hyperlipidemia, Anhui Medicine, 2013 May, 17(5): 836-838) pointed out that the combined use of statins and probucol can further reduce the cholesterol level of patients with hyperlipidemia, and on this basis, observed the advantages of the combined use of probucol and rosuvastatin over the use of rosuvastatin alone in the treatment of carotid artery plaques in patients with hyperlipidemia, thereby confirming the clinical efficacy of the combined use of the two drugs. The treatment method includes: rosuvastatin 10 mg, once a night, probucol 250 mg, twice a day. The treatment method does not administer statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Zhou Xiangling (Effect of probucol combined with atorvastatin on vascular endothelial function in patients with hyperlipidemia, "Guangdong Trace Element Science: 2016 Vol. 23 No. 11: 34-37) analyzed the effect of probucol combined with atorvastatin on vascular endothelial function in patients with hyperlipidemia, where atorvastatin (Wuhan Zhongyou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., National Medicine Standard H20123064) was 1 time / d, 20 mg / time, and probucol (Jingfukang Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd., National Medicine Standard H10960161), 3 times / d, 0.25 mg / time. This treatment method does not administer statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention.Shi Yujie (Analysis of the efficacy of simvastatin combined with probucol in the treatment of mixed hyperlipidemia, "Medical World" May 2009, Vol. 11, No. 5: 132-133) used simvastatin combined with probucol to treat patients with mixed hyperlipidemia, including simvastatin 20 mg, taken orally with dinner every day, and probucol 500 mg, taken orally with breakfast and meals every day. Shi Yujie specifically pointed out that probucol can reduce TC and LDL-C, but has little effect on TG. Patients with mixed hyperlipidemia can be treated with high-dose statins, but the lipid-lowering effect of statins is very limited after doubling the dose, and adverse reactions increase linearly with increasing doses. Mixed hyperlipidemia: If TC and LDL-C are mainly increased, statins are the first choice; if TG is mainly increased, fibrates are selected; if TC, LDL-C, and TG are all significantly increased, combined medication can be considered. Probucol has no effect on reducing TG, while simvastatin has a TG-lowering effect. The advantages complement each other and reduce adverse reactions, which is worth recommending. This treatment method does not use low-dose probucol, nor does it give statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Zhao Xudong (Clinical Observation of Probucol Combined with Atorvastatin in the Treatment of Coronary Heart Disease and Hypercholesterolemia, "China Medical Innovation" Vol. 9, No. 9 (Total No. 219): 116-117) studied the therapeutic effect of probucol combined with atorvastatin on coronary heart disease and hypercholesterolemia. The subjects treated are patients with coronary heart disease, but the patient's indicators do not meet the standards of "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Dyslipidemia in Adults in China (2007)". The treatment method includes: administering probucol 250 mg / d (trade name Zhile, Shandong Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) plus atorvastatin 20 mg / d (trade name Lipitor, Pfizer Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.), and it is not explicitly disclosed that probucol and atorvastatin are administered simultaneously, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Luo Qin (Observation on the efficacy of atorvastatin calcium combined with probucol in the treatment of coronary heart disease with hyperlipidemia, "Modern Instruments and Medical Treatment" Vol. 19, No. 5, 2013: 83-85) used atorvastatin calcium combined with probucol to treat patients with coronary heart disease and hyperlipidemia, including: oral atorvastatin calcium, dosage 20 mg / d, once a day, and probucol 500 mg / d, twice a day. The treatment method does not administer statins and probucol simultaneously, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention.Lian Rui (Effects of rosuvastatin combined with probucol on IMT, plaque area, IL-6, and TNF-α in patients with hyperlipidemia and carotid plaques, "Capital Food and Medicine" July 2017, second half: 76-77) observed and discussed the effects of rosuvastatin combined with probucol on IMT, plaque area, IL-6, and TNF-α in patients with hyperlipidemia and carotid plaques. The treatment method includes: rosuvastatin treatment, 10 mg / time, 1 time / d, taken before bedtime, probucol 250 mg / d, 2 times / d. This treatment method does not administer statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. Shen Yang et al. (Effects of probucol combined with rosuvastatin on NO, ET-1 and carotid atherosclerotic plaques in patients with hyperlipidemia, Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Vol. 13, No. 18, December 2015: 2100-2102) used probucol combined with rosuvastatin calcium to treat hyperlipidemia and observed its effects on vascular endothelial function and carotid atherosclerotic plaques in patients with hyperlipidemia. The treatment method includes oral administration of probucol tablets (trade name Zhile, Qilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) 0.25g, 3 times a day, and rosuvastatin calcium (trade name Tuotu, Nanjing Zhengda Tianqing Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) 10mg, once every night. This treatment method does not administer statins and probucol at the same time, and the indications targeted do not include severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia involved in the present invention. The above documents teach the combined administration of probucol and statins, but there is still no document teaching the simultaneous administration of the two and the synergistic benefits of simultaneous administration. These documents at most teach the 1+1=2 effect of the combination of probucol and statins, and they do not realize that the effects of taking the two together and taking them separately are very different, and that the simultaneous combination of the two can achieve the effect of 1+1>2. These documents also do not recognize that the combination of probucol and statins can also be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and severe hypercholesterolemia. The therapeutic effects reported in these documents, such as further reducing LDL-C by nearly 20% and vascular protection, have not been confirmed by guidelines, textbooks, and drug instructions. The guidelines recommend as many as 5 drugs combined with statins, but probucol is missing. What is puzzling is that the extent to which the guidelines recommend ezetimibe to reduce LDL-C is consistent with these literature reports.
[0016] The results of foreign studies on statin combined with probucol treatment are different from those in China. Regarding further reduction of LDL-C: Joseph L et al. reported that the effect of lovastatin and probucol combined treatment on reducing low-density lipoprotein is not better than lovastatin alone. The drugs used in this literature are: lovastatin alone 20mgBID; lovastatin 20mBID combined with probucol 500mgBID. (Joseph L. Witztum, MD, et al. Intensive combination drug therapy of familial hypercholesterolemia with lovastatin, probucol, and colestipolhydrochloride. Circulation Vol 79, No 1, January 1989). Regarding vascular protection: The PROSPECTIVE study enrolled 876 ASCVD patients who took statins and other lipid-lowering drugs for more than 8 weeks (statins accounted for 92.7% of the total cases). They were divided into two groups: continuing the original treatment and combining probucol 250 mg BID with the original treatment. The follow-up was more than 3 years. The probucol group had no statistically significant effect in reducing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and carotid intima-media thickness, and the results remained negative (Toshiyuki Ishibashi, et al. Probucol Trial for Secondary Prevention of Atherosclerotic Events in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease (PROSPECTIVE) J Astheroscler Thromb, 2021;28:103-123).
[0017] The above research results have led to domestic and foreign guidelines, textbooks and drug instructions not recommending the combination of statins and probucol to further reduce LDL-C. For example, the instructions for pravastatin state that "although there is no increase in adverse events when pravastatin is combined with probucol, it does not increase the LDL-lowering efficacy." Existing technologies have no obvious benefits in reducing high triglycerides or further reducing LDL-C in severe hypertriglyceridemia. Summary of the invention
[0018] The inventors unexpectedly discovered that a drug combination comprising a low dose of probucol and a statin can significantly reduce hypertriglyceridemia in severe hypertriglyceridemia, with an effect no less than that of fibrates; it can further reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein, with an effect no less than that of statins combined with ezetimibe; it can be used to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia or to treat severe hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia at the same time, and is a broad-spectrum lipid-lowering drug; it also reduces the risk of ASVCD and the side effects of the drug, thereby meeting the above clinical needs. Surprisingly, if probucol and statins are taken separately, or taken together but with an increased dose of probucol, the unexpected effect disappears.

[0205] Beneficial effects of the present invention The main beneficial effects of the present invention include the following aspects: (1) The present inventors surprisingly found that the combination of probucol and statins can produce a synergistic effect in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia, hyperlipidemia that is intolerant to or unresponsive to fibrates, or hyperlipidemia that is ineffective or ineffective in statin treatment. The use of probucol at an amount lower than its conventional dose can promote the statin to produce a greater therapeutic effect, breaking through the "6% statin efficacy effect", so that even if statins are used at medium or low doses, unexpectedly high therapeutic effects can be achieved. This not only expands the dosage range of statins in disguise, but also discovers a new way to tolerably reduce triglycerides in severe hypertriglyceridemia. (2) The present invention has produced unexpected effects in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia. Probucol alone has no triglyceride-lowering effect, and statins alone do not treat severe hypertriglyceridemia. The present invention uses a low-dose probucol combined with a medium-to-low-dose statin to quickly and effectively reduce triglycerides in severe hypertriglyceridemia, with a reduction of more than 70%, which is not inferior to first-line fibrates (60%). Compared with drugs for treating severe hypertriglyceridemia such as fibrates and high-dose fish oil that increase low-density lipoprotein, the combination can reduce low-density lipoprotein-C, thereby providing a new and more effective treatment option for the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia; (3) For patients whose LDL-C levels do not meet the target after statin treatment, the present invention can further reduce cholesterol (32%) and low-density lipoprotein-C (38%), thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease; (4) The present invention can significantly reduce triglycerides in severe hypertriglyceridemia and further reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-C. It is a broad-spectrum lipid-lowering drug and is suitable for hypertriglyceridemia and / or hypercholesterolemia; (5) In the present invention, probucol is used at an amount lower than its conventional dose (e.g., 12.5% of the conventional dose), and statins are used at medium to low doses, so that the drug combination has better tolerability, lower toxic side effects, and fewer adverse reactions to long-term medication; (6) In the present invention, the drug combination of probucol and statins can take effect quickly and reduce TG, TC and LDL-C to satisfactory levels in a shorter treatment period; (7) The present inventors have found that the simultaneous administration of probucol and statins produces unexpected technical effects. If statins and probucol are taken separately, or if they are taken together but with an increased probucol dose, the effects disappear. Example
[0206] The following examples are intended to specifically illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
[0207] Example 1: Study on the efficacy of a drug combination of probucol and statins in treating severe hypertriglyceridemia.
[0208] A total of 26 patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia were treated with a combination of probucol and statins, including 21 males and 5 females, aged 27-68 years.
[0209] Before administration, the triglyceride range of patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia was 5.93-21.41 mmol / L, the cholesterol range was 3.46-9.85 mmol / L, and the low-density lipoprotein range was 1.22-4.01 mmol / L.
[0210] Dosage regimen: Probucol and statins are both taken orally in commercially available tablets (which can be taken with water or chewed), once a day, at the same time before bedtime, for an average of 45 days.
[0211] Treatment results: After treatment, the patients' plasma triglycerides dropped significantly, with triglyceride levels dropping by 35-91% and an average drop of 80%; cholesterol dropped by 20-69% and an average drop of 41%; low-density lipoprotein dropped by 8-58% and an average drop of 23%. See Table 1 for specific results.

[0213] The inventor surprisingly found that, at the same dosage of probucol, reducing the dosage of statins can achieve an increase in the degree of LDL-C reduction (probucol 250 mg + atorvastatin 20 mg, QD vs probucol 250 mg + atorvastatin 10 mg, QD; probucol 250 mg + rosuvastatin 10 mg, QD vs probucol 250 mg + rosuvastatin 5 mg, QD; and probucol 125 mg + fluvastatin 80 mg, QD vs probucol 125 mg + fluvastatin 40 mg, QD). Therefore, it is believed that the simultaneous use of probucol and statins produces a synergistic effect.
[0214] Compared with the efficacy of other drugs for treating severe hypertriglyceridemia: the low-dose drug combination of the present invention significantly reduces triglycerides, and the effect is better than fibrates and high-dose fish oil. In addition, unlike fibrates and high-dose fish oil that increase low-density lipoprotein-C, the drug combination of the present invention can also reduce cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein-C at the same time. See Table 2 below.

[0216] Typical case 1: A 39-year-old male patient had long-term severe hypertriglyceridemia, which induced acute severe necrotizing pancreatitis. After improvement, he took fenofibrate regularly (0.2g per day). At 7 months, he developed elevated creatinine and gallstones. Triglycerides could not be ideally controlled, reaching 9.78mmol / l. He tried other treatment options, but still could not achieve good results, and his triglycerides rebounded to 15.94mmol / l. He was treated with a statin-probucol combination: 20mg atorvastatin combined with 125mg probucol every night. After 3 days, his triglycerides dropped to 10.34mmol / l, and after 6 days, they dropped to 7.25mmol / l. At the same time, creatinine returned to normal, and muscle enzymes did not increase significantly, dropping to 4.14mmol / l in 19 days. After 26 days, it dropped to 3.52mmol / l.
[0217] Typical case 2: Female patient, 60 years old, severe hypertriglyceridemia. Probucol 187.5mg + rosuvastatin 10mg, QD, 6 weeks. Triglyceride (TG, mmol / L), total cholesterol (TC, mmol / L) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C, mmol) changed from 9.21, 4.65, and 1.70 before treatment to 4.60, 3.49, and 1.32 after treatment, with a decrease of 50%, 25%, and 22%, respectively.
[0218] Typical case 3: A 30-year-old male patient had triglycerides (TG) of 14.62 mmol / L, total cholesterol (TC) of 6.84 mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) of 2.20 mmol / L. He took atorvastatin 20 mg + probucol 250 mg together before bedtime. After a follow-up examination 2 weeks later, his triglycerides were 2.79 mmol / L, total cholesterol was 4.76 mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein was 1.99 mmol / L. He then took the medicines separately, taking atorvastatin before bedtime and probucol in the afternoon. After 2 weeks, his triglycerides rebounded to 13.30 mmol / L, total cholesterol was 5.97 mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein was 2.02 mmol / L.
[0219] Typical case 4: Male patient, 35 years old, triglycerides: 11.93mmol / L, total cholesterol: 6.58mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein: 1.85mmol / L, rosuvastatin 5mg + probucol 125mg each time, twice a day, re-examination after 6 weeks, triglycerides: 3.72mmol / L, total cholesterol: 3.54mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein: 1.66mmol / L, then increased the dosage on his own (after reading the instructions, he thought his condition was serious and should be increased), rosuvastatin 5mg + probucol 500mg each time, twice a day, after 8 weeks rebound to triglycerides: 8.91mmol / L, total cholesterol: 4.32mmol / L and low-density lipoprotein: 1.75mmol / L.
[0220] Example 2: Study on the efficacy of a drug combination of probucol and statins in treating hypercholesterolemia.
[0221] Treatment targets: Patients who have taken statins for more than half a year and whose cholesterol levels do not meet the target (including patients who have received statin treatment, patients who have received statins combined with cholesterol absorption inhibitors, patients who have received statins combined with PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies, and patients who have received statins combined with cholesterol absorption inhibitors and PCSK9 monoclonal antibodies) are switched to probucol and statin combination treatment. A total of 11 patients with hypercholesterolemia received probucol and statin combination treatment, including 3 males and 8 females, aged 28-78 years. Before administration, the triglyceride range of hypercholesterolemia patients was 1.3-4.51 mmol / L, the cholesterol range was 4.5-7.56 mmol / L, and the low-density lipoprotein range was 2.77-4.64 mmol / L.
[0222] Dosage regimen: Probucol and statins are both taken orally in commercially available tablets (which can be taken with water or chewed), once a day, at the same time before bedtime, for an average of 3 weeks.
[0223] Treatment results: After treatment, the patient's plasma cholesterol level dropped by 25-36%; the low-density lipoprotein level dropped by 25-40%. The specific results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0225] Comparison of efficacy with other drugs for treating hypercholesterolemia: According to the 2023 China Blood Lipid Management Guidelines, when LDL-C is not up to standard after statin treatment, statin combined with ezetimibe can further reduce LDL-C levels by 18-20%. The drug combination of the present invention can further reduce LDL-C by 25-40%, and further reduce it by 38% on average, which is better than statin combined with ezetimibe. In addition, probucol is used in small doses, has low side effects, and has greater benefits.
[0226] Typical case 1: Male patient, 68 years old, myocardial infarction, post-stent surgery. Rosuvastatin 10mg before bedtime treatment for 12 weeks, cholesterol 8.86mmol / L; triglycerides 2.61mmol / L; LDL-C 5.54mmol / L, combined with 140mg of eloumab subcutaneously injected every 2 weeks for 1 year: cholesterol 6.45mmol / L; triglycerides 3.05mmol / L; LDL-C 3.61mmol / L. After taking probucol 125mg and rosuvastatin 10mg before bedtime for 3 weeks: cholesterol 4.62mmol / L; triglycerides 1.39mmol / L; LDL-C 2.31mmol / L, taking separately for 6 weeks: cholesterol 6.97mmol / L; triglycerides 3.11mmol / L; LDL-C 3.55mmol / L.
[0227] Typical case 2: Female patient, 67 years old, ASCVD patient, cholesterol 13.1mmol / L, LDL-C 8.13mmol / L, triglycerides 3.60mmol / L; advised to take probucol 125mg and atorvastatin 20mg daily before bedtime, in fact, the patient took it according to the instructions, atorvastatin 20mg daily before bedtime, probucol 500mg each time, 2 times / day, 12 weeks later, cholesterol 9.32mmol / L, LDL-C 5.18mmol / L, triglycerides 4.04mmol / L; resumed low dose, 14 weeks later, cholesterol 4.66mmol / L, LDL-C 2.25mmol / L, triglycerides 2.79mmol / L.
[0228] Typical case 3: Male patient, 66 years old, ASCVD patient, myocardial infarction, post-stent surgery, probucol 187.5mg + rosuvastatin 10mg, 3 weeks, QD. The results are as follows: before administration, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C): 3.19mmol / L, cholesterol: 5.51mmol / L, triglycerides: 2.49mmol / L; after administration: low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C): 1.00mmol / L, cholesterol: 2.52mmol / L, triglycerides: 1.28mmol / L; reduced by 69%, 54% and 49% respectively.
[0229] The results of the trial showed that in the treatment of severe hypertriglyceridemia, the combination of probucol and statins (such as atorvastatin, rosuvastatin, simvastatin, fluvastatin, and lovastatin) can achieve a comparable or even greater TG reduction at a lower probucol dose; and when the statin dose is doubled, the LDL-C reduction can be significantly more than 6%, or when the statin dose is maintained unchanged and a lower dose of probucol is used, a greater reduction in LDL-C is achieved, or when the probucol dose is maintained unchanged and a lower dose of statin is used, a greater reduction in LDL-C is achieved. Therefore, the combination of a low dose of probucol and a statin can not only significantly reduce TG levels, but also expand the therapeutic window of statins.
[0230] Increasing the dose of probucol will eliminate the effect of lowering severe hypertriglyceridemia, and the effect will also disappear if the same dose is taken in divided doses; especially for lowering LDL-C, this goes against common sense in medicine. In addition to being ineffective when taken separately, the incremental effect of two cholesterol-lowering drugs is poor. Probucol was launched in 1977, and many studies on its combined use at home and abroad have found no effect on treating severe hypertriglyceridemia or lowering LDL-C. This is related to the above-mentioned characteristics of the combination and the habit of taking statins and probucol (statins are taken before bedtime, and probucol is taken twice a day, morning and evening).
[0231] Example 3: Study on the efficacy of a drug combination of probucol and statins in treating hypercholesterolemia at double the dose.
[0232] Treatment subjects: Four patients with hypercholesterolemia were treated with a combination of probucol and statins, including 2 males and 2 females, aged 50-70 years.
[0233] Dosage regimen: Probucol and statins are both administered orally in the form of commercially available tablets (which can be taken with water or chewed), once a day, and administered simultaneously before bedtime. First, administer the low dose shown in Table 4 for a period of time (more than 6 weeks), and then administer the doubled dose shown in Table 4 (the doubled dose is 1.5 or 2 times the original dose) for another period of time (5-12 weeks).
[0234] Results: As shown in Table 4, the results of the trial showed that in the treatment of hyperlipidemia, by co-administering probucol with statins, when the dose of statins was doubled at low doses of probucol, a significantly greater than 6% reduction in LDL-C could be achieved. This is contrary to the common view that doubling the dose of statins can only bring an additional 6% reduction in LDL-C levels. It is believed that this unexpected result may be due to the co-administration of probucol and statins.
