Composition for percutaneous administration
First Claim
1. A composition for percutaneous administration comprising an antiarrhythmic as an active ingredient in a physiologically effective amount for percutaneous administration and an amount of a nicotinic ester represented by formula (I) ##STR16## or an isonicotinic ester represented by formula (II) ##STR17## wherein R and R'"'"' each represents an alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms effective to increase the percutaneous permeability and absorbability through the skin of the antiarrhythmic.

Abstract
A composition for percutaneous administration containing a nicotinic ester represented by formula (I) ##STR1## or an isonicotinic ester represented by formula (II) ##STR2## wherein R and R'"'"' each represents an alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms,
with or without a specific polar compound. The composition improves percutaneous absorption of an active ingredient.

- 2. A composition for percutaneous administration comprising a nicotinic ester represented by formula (I) ##STR18## or an isonicotinic ester represented by formula (II) ##STR19## wherein R and R'"'"' each represents an alkyl group having 5 of more carbon atoms, an antiarrhythmic as an active ingredient and at least one polar compound selected from the group consisting of a lower alcohol, an alkylene glycol and a monoalkyl ether of mono- or diethylene glycol, wherein the nicotinic ester or isonicotinic ester is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 70% by weight and the antiarrhythmic is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 20% by weight both based on the total amount of the nicotinic ester or isonicotinic ester and the polar compound or compounds.
- 10. A method for increasing percutaneous permeability and percutaneous absorbability of an antiarrhythmic as an active ingredient, which comprises the percutaneous administration of a composition comprising a nicotinic ester represented by formula (I) ##STR20## or an isonicotinic ester represented by formula (II) ##STR21## wherein R and R'"'"' each represents an alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms, and the active ingredient, wherein the antiarrhythmic is present in a physiologically effective amount for percutaneous administration and the nicotinic ester or isonicotinic ester is present in an amount effective to increase the percutaneous permeability and absorbability through the skin of the antiarrhythmic.
- 11. A method for increasing percutaneous permeability and percutaneous absorbability of an antirrhythmic as an active ingredient, which comprises the percutaneous administration of a composition comprising of a nicotinic ester represented by formula (I) ##STR22## or an isonicotinic ester represented by formula (II) ##STR23## wherein R and R'"'"' each represents and alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms, an active ingredient and a polar compound, wherein the nicotinic ester or isonicotinic ester is present in an amount of from 0.5 to 70% by weight and the antiarrhythmic is present in an amount of from 0.01 to 20% by weight, both based on the total amount of the nicotinic ester or isonicotinic ester and the polar compound or compounds.
