Abstract

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing Naratriptan, a compound selected from the group consisting of 2-HPOD, 2-HPHM, 4-PPED, 4-BPED and 2-PPED, and optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Claims (27)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising:

(a) naratriptan or a salt thereof,

(b) at least one compound selected from 8-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)octyldiethanolamine, 6-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)hexylmorpholine, 2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethyldiethanolamine, 2-(biphen-4-yl)ethyldiethanolamine, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; and

(c) optionally, a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient,

wherein the pharmaceutical composition, when administered orally, has a shortened time for the onset of maximum peak concentration (T max ) compared to naratriptan alone.

2. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition comprises a naratriptan salt.

3. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 2 , wherein said naratriptan salt is selected from a hydrochloride, hydrobromide, mesylate, acetate, trifluoroacetate, propionate, fumarate, tartrate, citrate, phosphate, succinate, bisulfate, or besylate salt.

4. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said compound is 8-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)octyldiethanolamine.

5. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said compound is 6-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)hexylmorpholine.

6. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said compound is 2-(4-phenoxyphenyl)ethyldiethanolamine.

7. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said compound is 2-(biphen-4-yl)ethyldiethanolamine.

8. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein said naratriptan or a salt thereof, and said compound are present in a ratio from about 1:100 to about 1:5.

9. A method of treating migraine headaches, comprising orally administering a pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 to a subject in need thereof.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 40% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 50% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 60% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral 5 administration, takes at least 70% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 75% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

15. The method of claim 9 , wherein said pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, lakes at least 80% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 20% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

17. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 20% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

18. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 40% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

19. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 50% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

20. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral 5 administration, takes at least 60% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

21. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, takes at least 70% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

22. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, lakes at least 75% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.

23. The pharmaceutical composition of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition, upon oral administration, lakes at least 80% less time to reach T max in comparison to administering naratriptan alone.
