Abstract
Abstract Novel complexes of nitric oxide (NO) and amines are described where the amine is a known cardiovascular agent having at least one or more primary or secondary amino groups and whereby the resulting complex is capable under physiological conditions of releasing in vivo dual active ingredients, the NO and the known cardiovascular agent. The complexes are used for treating cardiovascular diseases and for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of restenosis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A compound of the formula ##STR3## wherein: A is a cardiovascular amine moiety derived from a compound selected from the group consisting of angiopeptin, heparin and hirudin; M +x is a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, wherein x is the valence of the cation; a is at least one; b and c are the smallest integers that result in a neutral compound, and wherein the compound under physiological conditions is capable of releasing NO and a cardiovascular amine of the formula AH.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A compound of the formula ##STR3## wherein: A is a cardiovascular amine moiety derived from a compound selected from the group consisting of angiopeptin, heparin and hirudin; M +x is a pharmaceutically acceptable cation, wherein x is the valence of the cation; a is at least one; b and c are the smallest integers that result in a neutral compound, and wherein the compound under physiological conditions is capable of releasing NO and a cardiovascular amine of the formula AH.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
A compound according to claim 1 wherein the compound is capable of releasing angiopeptin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
A compound according to claim 12 wherein the compound is capable of releasing heparin.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
A compound according to claim 1 wherein the compound is capable of releasing hirudin.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A dual acting cardiovascular pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound of the formula ##STR4## according to claim 1, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, said composition being capable of releasing under physiological conditions NO and a corresponding cardiovascular drug.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The composition of claim 5 wherein the effective amount of the compound is the established dose range of the cardiovascular drug to be released with NO.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
23 words
A method of treating cardiovascular disorders which comprises administering to a host in need thereof a dual activity cardiovascular composition of claim 5.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A method of prophylactically or therapeutically treating restenosis which comprises administering to a host in need thereof a prophylactic or therapeutic effective amount of a dual activity pharmaceutical composition of claim 5.
