BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
Coronary intervention is a percutaneous procedural approach to the treatment of ischemic heart disease such as angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. Coronary intervention technically involves mechanical revascularization of a stenosed lesion in a coronary artery by means of a balloon catheter, mechanical stent placement, an atherectomy catheter and the like. As a consequence, coronary intervention often causes restenosis due to damaged intima and media cells. Patients who experience restenosis may require revascularization procedures to correct the condition. Other cardiovascular events associated with coronary intervention include myocardial infarction and death.
Up to the present time, there has not been any effective drug for the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular events associated with coronary intervention.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART
Tranilast is sold commercially as a drug for the treatment of allergic diseases, e.g., allergic bronchitis, allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, and the like, based on the activity exhibited by the drug for inhibiting release of chemical mediators [The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Vol. 57, No. 5, pp. 396-407, (1976)].
More recently, in Biochemical Pharmacology, Vol. 36, No. 4, pp. 469-474 (1987), it was reported that Tranilast inhibits fibroblast proliferation and collagen accumulation. United States Patent No. 5,385,935 C935) claims the use of Tranilast in the inhibition of restenosis associated with coronary intervention but indicates that a treatment period of at least three consecutive months is required for efficacy. The requirement of a three plus month treatment period was premised, in part, upon a publication in the Japanese College of Cardiology (1988), cited in the "935 patent. This publication discloses the treatment of patients subjected to the PTCA procedure with Tranilast in a daily oral dose of 300 mg for 30 consecutive days after the PTCA procedure. The clinical data obtained from this study did not indicate any significant efficacy for inhibiting a restenosis effect associated with the PTCA procedure at the tested dosage and duration. T e 35 patent indicates that the lack of efficacy for inhibiting a restenosis effect with Tranilast after the 30 day protocol was due to a too short duration of treatment.
Conversely, the 935 patent demonstrated that an extended period of Tranilast treatment was effective for lowering the incidence of post-procedure restenosis associated with PTCA. It was found that dosing patients with Tranilast for a duration of at least about three months (i.e., a term of at least about 90 consecutive days of treatment) reduced the incidence of restenosis associated with the PTCA procedure. In one clinical study, when patients were administered Tranilast in a daily oral dose of 600 mg for three consecutive months after the PTCA procedure, the incidence of restenosis was less than about 20%. As reported in the *935 patent, the incidence of restenosis associated with the PTCA procedure usually is about 40%.
Additionally, in Nobuyoshi M. et al., J Am Coll. Cardiol. 1988; 12: 616 to 623, it was observed that most cases of restenosis after successful coronary angioplasty occur within 6 months after the procedure, particularly between 1 and 3 months after coronary angioplasty.
Thus, restenosis is considered to take place predominantly in the healing phase after coronary angioplasty and, using Tranilast, to require at least three months of treatment in order to show a therapeutic effect.
Numerous advantages would be realized if Tranilast could be efficaciously administered for the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular events associated with coronary intervention for a treatment period of less than three months. The advantages of a shorter dosing protocol include: increased patient compliance, less total medication taken by the patient, reduced side effect profile and providing a more cost effective treatment.
It has now surprisingly been discovered that Tranilast can be suitably administered in the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular events associated with coronary intervention for a period of less than three months. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a method for the prevention or reduction of cardiovascular events associated with coronary intervention in a mammal, particularly a human, which comprises administering to the subject N-(3',4'-dimethoxycinnamoyl)anthranilic acid (N-51) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a daily dose of from greater than 300 mg to about 1 ,200 mg for a treatment period of up to 89 days in association with coronary intervention.

Preferred forms of parenteral administration include topically, rectally, transdermally, by injection and continuously by infusion. Oral administration is preferred.
Optimal dosages to be administered may be readily determined by those skilled in the art, and will vary with the strength of the preparation, the mode of administration, and the advancement of the disease condition. Additional factors depending on the particular patient being treated will result in a need to adjust dosages, including patient age, weight, diet, and time of administration.
No unacceptable toxicological effects are expected when compound of the invention is administered in accordance with the present invention.
Without further elaboration, it is believed that one skilled in the art can, using the preceding description, utilize the present invention to its fullest extent. The following Examples are, therefore, to be construed as merely illustrative and not a limitation of the scope of the present invention in any way.
EXAMPLE I
Efficacy of the invented method for treatment of restenosis associated with the PCTA procedure is demonstrated by the following.
One hundred forty nine lesions with a partial occlusion, which undergo successful PTCA procedures with smooth dilation, are selected for study. These lesions are divided into two groups, and both groups do not differ significantly with sex, distribution of coronary artery or ratio of lesions restenosed after PTCA; One group (about 49 lesions) receives Tranilast in a daily dose of 600 mg, preferably in two 300 mg tablets administered 12 hours apart (hereinafter identified as group I), and another group (about 100 lesions) does not receive Tranilast (hereinafter identified as group II). In addition, patients may also be given a calcium antagonist, nitrates and/or anti-platelet agents. These drugs are administered for 30 consecutive days after PTCA, and follow-up coronary angiography is performed within one year after PTCA.
The measurements are made in two projections and all measurements (before and immediately after PTCA and at final follow-up) are made in the same projection for more accurate comparisons.
Diameter stenosis is calculated as the mean of measurements, and restenosis is defined as a loss of at least 50% of the initial gain in luminal diameter accomplished by dilation or by 50% stenosis of a dilated vessel.
