Description:
CYTOTOXIC AGENT FOR CHEMICAL DISBUDDING AND METHOD [0001] RELATED APPLICATIONS [0002] This application claims priority of Australian Provisional Patent Application No. 2022902548, filed 5 September 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] TECHNICAL FIELD [0004] This invention broadly relates to a cytotoxic agent and its use in animal disbudding or for inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal. In particular, the cytotoxic agent is a non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drug (NSAID) such as meloxicam or ketoprofen. [0005] BACKGROUND [0006] Horn disbudding is a routine husbandry practice in most dairy herds around the world. Disbudding is a procedure in which the horn buds of a calf are removed or destroyed with the use of a thermal cautery (hot iron) unit to burn and destroy the tissue around the horn bud. The hot iron equipment used for disbudding is potentially hazardous due to the use of high temperatures. Successful disbudding requires experience and skill, while improper technique can lead to injuries to the animal and operator. [0007] Even when administered correctly, a hot iron disbudding procedure will cause pain and distress to the animal if performed without appropriate anaesthesia and analgesia. In New Zealand, it is illegal to disbud a calf unless it is “under the influence of an appropriately placed and effective local anaesthetic” (Animal Welfare (Care and Procedures) Regulations 2018). The ideal welfare protocol for disbudding includes administration of a sedative to reduce the stress during the procedure, injection of local anaesthetic to the corneal nerve to anaesthetise the horn buds and surrounding tissue, and administration of an NSAID to reduce post-operative pain. However, the combination of these procedures is still not guaranteed to provide a comfortable experience for the animal. The cost and availability of the appropriate drugs to the animal handlers are hurdles in most countries. The recommended treatment as above also requires experience and skill in administering the proper drug regime. In particular, correctly administering an anaesthetic to the corneal nerve requires training on the proper procedure. [0008] Other less common methods of disbudding include directly cutting out the horn bud with a scoop or gouge, and chemical disbudding using caustic soda. Removal of horn buds by cutting has been observed to cause more pain and distress than the use of a hot iron and leaves a large, open wound. [0009] There are reports in literature of experimental methods of disbudding that have been trialled. A paper in 1976 (Koger LM. Dehorning by injection of calcium chloride. Vet Med Small Anim Clin 1976;71(6):824-825) describes a method in which high concentrations of calcium chloride were injected into the horn bud, causing necrosis of the tissue. This method also caused significant inflammation and would be expected to cause considerable pain. The authors recommended the use of analgesics and sedatives. [0010] The use of caustic soda has been trialled. Caustic soda often inadvertently spreads from the administration site to other areas of the animal and other animals through contact, can lead to blindness of the treated animals and is adversely affected by rain. [0011] The use of liquid nitrogen as a cryogenic fluid to destroy the horn bud tissue has been attempted, but found to be almost entirely ineffective. [0012] The injection of clove oil (eugenol) under the horn bud to cause necrosis of horn-bud tissue has been trialled, but was found to be relatively ineffective, delaying rather preventing horn growth in many cases, and was not recommended by the original investigators (Sutherland et al Vet Sci. 2019 Dec; 6(4): 102). [0013] Consequentially, there is a need for an improved composition or method for preventing the growth of horns in juvenile animals. [0014] OBJECT OF THE INVENTION [0015] It is an object of one or more embodiments of the present invention to address one or more of the foregoing problems. Alternatively, it is an object of one or more embodiments of the present invention to provide a composition for, or method of, chemical disbudding that overcomes or minimises a disadvantage of known dehorning compositions or methods referred to above. Alternatively, it is an object of the present invention to provide the public with a useful choice. [0016] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0017] The invention broadly relates to a cytotoxic agent and its use in animal disbudding. [0018] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of chemically disbudding a juvenile animal by administering to horn bud cells of the animal at least one cytotoxic agent, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0019] According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided use of at least one cytotoxic agent for chemically disbudding a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0020] According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided at least one cytotoxic agent for use or when used for chemically disbudding a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0021] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided use of at least one cytotoxic agent in the manufacture of a medicament for chemically disbudding a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0022] According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a disbudding composition comprising at least one cytotoxic agent, formulated for administration to and for chemically disbudding a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0023] According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal by administering to horn bud cells of the animal at least one cytotoxic agent, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0024] According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided use of at least one cytotoxic agent for inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0025] According to an eighth aspect of the present invention, there is provided at least one cytotoxic agent for use or when used for inhibiting horn growth a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0026] According to a ninth aspect of the present invention, there is provided use of at least one cytotoxic agent in the manufacture of a medicament for inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0027] According to a tenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition comprising at least one cytotoxic agent, formulated for administration to and for inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non- steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0028] According to an eleventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided an injector containing at least one cytotoxic agent for use or when used for juvenile animal disbudding or for inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal, wherein the injector is capable of administering the at least one cytotoxic agent to horn bud cells of a juvenile animal, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0029] According to a twelfth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a kitset for use or when used in a method of juvenile animal disbudding or inhibiting horn growth in a juvenile animal, wherein the kitset comprises: an injector capable of administering at least one cytotoxic agent to horn bud cells of a juvenile animal; and, the at least one cytotoxic agent in an amount to kill horn bud cells, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one non-steroidal anti- inflammatory drug (NSAID). [0030] According to a thirteenth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a composition formulated as a solution, suspension, dispersion, emulsion, low viscosity gel, or other prolonged- release liquid formulation, comprising at least one cytotoxic agent and one or more excipients, and being capable of providing prolonged-release of the at least one cytotoxic agent, wherein the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one NSAID. [0031] It is to be appreciated that features recited for a particular aspect of the present invention may be features, or recast as features, of any and all other aspects of the present invention, context permitting. For example, one or more features of a ‘method’ (method, use, process etc.) may be recast as features of a ‘product’ (cytotoxic agent, composition, medicament, formulation, injector, kitset etc.), and vice-versa, context permitting. [0032] A ‘cytotoxic agent’ refers to an agent that is toxic to horn bud cells, particularly corium, which can be destroyed and/or inactivated by the cytotoxic agent. [0033] The term ‘at least one cytotoxic agent’, context permitting, is to be interpreted as meaning 1, 2, 3 or more cytotoxic agents. [0034] The term ‘the at least one cytotoxic agent comprises at least one NSAID’, context permitting, is to be interpreted as meaning that the at least one cytotoxic agent can comprise 1, 2, 3 or more NSAIDs. [0035] Although not always explicitly stated, it is to be appreciated that the NSAID cytotoxic agent will typically be administered to the animal in the form of a composition, formulation or medicament. [0036] It is to be appreciated that disbudding or inhibition of horn growth can be achieved by administering the cytotoxic agent directly to horn bud cells (horn bud tissue) of the animal, or in an immediate vicinity of horn bud cells. Preferably, disbudding or horn inhibition is carried out whilst the horn bud is free-floating in the skin. Preferably disbudding or horn inhibition is carried out before the horn bud has attached to the skull. Preferably the cytotoxic agent is administered under or around the horn buds, more preferably under the horn buds. Successful disbudding or horn inhibition requires inactivation or destruction of horn-producing cells (corium) (ie. ‘horn bud cells’) of the horn bud. [0037] Preferably the cytotoxic agent is administered in an amount (ie. an ‘effective amount’) sufficient to prevent horn growth, or significantly reduce horn growth such that the resulting horn/scur/stump/bud is not of danger to other animals. Preferably horn growth is prevented completely. [0038] The cytotoxic agent can be administered as a single dose or more than one dose, but preferably as a single dose. [0039] Any suitable NSAID can be used as the cytotoxic agent. In some embodiments, the NSAID cytotoxic agent can be in a free-acid or free-base form, or a salt. Context permitting, the terms ‘cytotoxic agent’ and ‘NSAID’ include the free-acid or free-base form of the cytotoxic agent and NSAID as well as any salt or salts of that cytotoxic agent or NSAID. In some instances, one or more salts of a cytotoxic agent or NSAID may be specifically mentioned for greater clarity.

[0168] Example 1 - Efficacy of injecting registered non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) into the horn buds of young calves to prevent horn growth [0169] Study objective [0170] The objective of this study was to test if two different cytotoxic agent NSAIDs will prevent horn growth if injected into the horn bud of young dairy calves. The second objective was to assess if the injections caused an acceptable pain response from the calves. [0171] Study design [0172] A randomized controlled trial with an internal negative control was used. Six calves were equally assigned to either one of two treatments. The left horn bud was injected with 1 mL 150 mg/mL ketoprofen or with 1 mL 20 mg/mL meloxicam, whereas the right horn bud was the negative (internal) control. [0173] Materials and methods [0174] Animals [0175] Type: Dairy calves, non-polled [0176] Breed: Friesian X Jersey X [0177] Age: 4 – 10 days [0178] Sex: Female [0179] Animal maintenance and husbandry [0180] Test animals were kept amongst non-test animals in the same age group and kept on a commercial dairy farm using common husbandry practices. [0181] Disposition of animals and products [0182] Treatments were commercially available registered veterinary medicines approved for use in this species. The dose did not exceed the label dose. The approved withholding period for tissue was adhered to. [0183] Test products and dosing [0184] Treatment 1: [0185] 1 mL of ketoprofen 150 mg/mL (Ketomax 15%, AgriHealth Ltd). One mL was injected into the centre of the horn bud after trimming the hair around it. [0186] Treatment 2: [0187] 1 mL of meloxicam 20 mg/mL (Rheumocam 20 mg/ml, Ethical Agents). One mL was injected into the centre of the horn bud after trimming the hair around it. [0188] Clinical results [0189] Table 1 - Treatment assignment and comments [0190] Table 2 - Treatment pain response observation by veterinarian [0191] Table 3 - Pain & discomfort observation 6 hours post-treatment [0192] Table 4 - Pain & discomfort observation 48 hours post-treatment [0193] Table 5 - Horn growth assessment [0194] Discussion [0195] The objective of this study was to assess if NSAIDs could prevent horn growth if injected in the horn bud of young calves. Both treatments were successful in preventing horn growth in some cases and reduce the horn growth in other cases (Table 5). Both ketoprofen and meloxicam show the potential of preventing horn growth up until 33 days after treatment. As these treatments (NSAID compositions) were commercially available formulations, the concentration (and thus the absolute dose) of ketoprofen and meloxicam is relatively low. Based on these results, we expect that a dose response study could give a minimum concentration at which near 100% prevention can be achieved. [0196] The second objective was to assess welfare indicators such as pain or discomfort. Both were conducted by New Zealand registered veterinarians. Most of the discomfort or resistance was observed during the handling and treatment/injection (Table 2) with a few calves showing discomfort or pain during a short time period after treatment (Table 2). Six hours and 48 hours after the treatment no signs of pain or discomfort were observed in any of the calves (Tables 3 and 4). Also, none of the treatments induced any swelling (oedema) at the injection site. Shortly after treatment the depot of injected fluid can be observed at the injection site, but this had completely disappeared at the next observation time point at 6 hours post-treatment. [0197] Conclusions [0198] Injecting an NSAID such as ketoprofen 150 mg/mL (150 mg total dose) or meloxicam 20 mg/mL (20 mg total dose) into the horn bud of young calves can prevent horn growth. A dose determination study can be used to establish the dose at which near 100% prevention can be reached. [0199] It is believed that a composition providing prolonged release of the NSAID from the injection site may provide equal or superior disbudding results. It is believed that a lower amount of NSAID could be used in an injectable prolonged release composition as compared to the ones tested. It is envisaged that the administered composition could be in the form of an injectable low viscosity solution or suspension, such as an oily suspension or oily solution, an aqueous suspension or aqueous solution, or low viscosity, injectable gel (suspension or solution) which gels rapidly at the injection site to retain the NSAID for a suitable period of time. In this way, a comparatively larger quantity of cytotoxic agent can be delivered to the horn bud cells (horn bud tissue). It is believed that a composition containing the cytotoxic agent/NSAID, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate (SAIB) and a solvent could achieve this. Once the composition containing SAIB formulation and solvent is injected, the solvent can diffuse out leaving a matrix that is both adhesive and viscous. The matrix can retain the NSAID/cytotoxic agent at the horn bud cells for a period of time, rather than the cytotoxic agent being cleared rapidly from the horn bud site. Also, if the composition provides slow clearance of the NSAID from the horn bud site, then a high dose of NSAID could also be administered safely since high concentrations of the NSAID in blood would be avoided. [0200] It is also concluded that both treatments cause negligible pain, discomfort or swelling (oedema) – if at all - after treatment. Most discomfort was caused by handling the animals and the actual injection. [0201] General conclusions [0202] The present inventors have found that NSAIDs such as meloxicam and ketoprofen function as effective chemical disbudding agents, and thereby overcome or reduce many of the disadvantages of previously known disbudding procedures. [0203] Injection of these chemical disbudding agents seems to be well tolerated by animals. [0204] Administration of these chemical disbudding agents is safer and easier compared with conventional dehorning techniques. [0205] Single injection of these chemical disbudding agents can dehorn animals. [0206] These chemical disbudding agents are targeted to horn bud cells/horn buds/horn bud tissues, and so cause much less collateral damage to surrounding tissues, as compared with some conventional dehorning techniques. [0207] These chemical disbudding agents provide a pain-relieving effect, thereby negating the need for further post-operative pain relief. [0208] Unlike eugenol, these chemical disbudding agents do not produce swelling at the site of injection. [0209] Unlike eugenol, these chemical disbudding agents do not produce open wounds nor scars at the site of injection, thereby reducing the chance of infection. [0210] Example 2 – Low viscosity, injectable solutions, suspensions and gel formulations: SAIB + NSAID cytotoxic agent [0211] It is believed that a composition providing prolonged release of the cytotoxic agent from the injection site may provide equal or superior disbudding results. It is believed that a lower amount of cytotoxic agent could be used in an injectable prolonged release composition as compared to the ones tested. Also, it is believed that since the composition provides prolonged release of the NSAID, a high dose of NSAID could also be administered safely. [0212] It is envisaged that the administered composition could be in the form of a solution or suspension in oil, or an aqueous solution or suspension, or in a low viscosity, injectable formulation (solution or suspension) which gels rapidly at the injection site to retain the cytotoxic agent for a suitable (therapeutically effective) period of time. In this way, a comparatively larger quantity of cytotoxic agent can be delivered to the horn bud cells (horn bud tissue) rather than lost to other parts of the body. [0213] It is believed that a composition containing the NSAID cytotoxic agent and a carrier oil, such as a vegetable oil, could achieve this. The composition can be formulated as an oily solution or suspension, and may provide more prolonged release of the cytotoxic agent from the injection site than a comparable solution. The solution or suspension can retain the NSAID cytotoxic agent at the horn bud cells for a period of time, rather than the cytotoxic agent being cleared rapidly from the horn bud site. [0214] It is believed that a composition containing the NSAID cytotoxic agent and an aqueous solvent could achieve this. The composition can be formulated as an aqueous solution or suspension, and may provide more prolonged release of the cytotoxic agent from the injection site than a comparable solution. [0215] It is believed that a composition containing the NSAID cytotoxic agent, Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate (SAIB) and a solvent/s could achieve this. Once the composition containing SAIB formulation and solvent is injected, the solvent can diffuse out leaving a matrix that is both adhesive and viscous. The matrix can retain the NSAID cytotoxic agent at the horn bud cells for a period of time, rather than the cytotoxic agent being cleared rapidly from the horn bud site. [0216] Preferred NSAID cytotoxic agent + SAIB formulations are described below. [0217] Ingredient ranges [0218] Although the solvents triacetin, Transcutol™ (diethylene glycol monoethyl ether) and ethanol are exemplified below, other solvents may be used instead or in addition to these. The inventors have generally worked on the principles that they will need 40-80% SAIB and ethanol, up to 30% to adjust the release rate of the cytotoxic agent. [0219] Table 6: Cytotoxic agent meloxicam (lower dose than trialled) + SAIB formulation ingredient ranges [0220] **Low dose meloxicam is exemplified (lower than trialled), due to prolonged release from the SAIB gel. The amount of meloxicam, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal, which may also be dependent on the release rate from the SAIB gel. [0221] *Mass of ethanol to vary from 0 to 0.3 g, ie.0-30% w/v. In the absence of other solvents and Tween, and at a SAIB level of 0.8 g (80% w/v), and assuming a weight per milliliter of 1.1g for the formulation, the ethanol would be 0.29 g (29% w/v). [0222] One mL would be administered to the animal. [0223] Table 7: Preferred cytotoxic agent meloxicam (lower dose than trialed) + SAIB formulation [0224] **Low dose meloxicam is exemplified (lower than trialled), due to prolonged release from the SAIB gel. The amount of meloxicam, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal. [0225] *Assuming a weight per milliliter of 1.1g for the formulation, the mass of ethanol required is 0.23 g or 23% w/v, which should be suitable for injection. [0226] One mL would be administered to the animal. [0227] Table 8: Cytotoxic agent meloxicam (dose as trialled) + SAIB formulation ingredient ranges a o up o .5 m [0228] *Mass of ethanol may vary from 0 to 0.45 g, ie.0-30% w/v, and in the absence of other solvents and Tween and at a SAIB level of 1.2 g (80%), assuming a weight per milliliter of the formulation of 1.1 g, the ethanol would be 0.43 g (28.7%). Ethanol up to 1.5 mL is to show that total volume may be increased. Ideally, the total volume would be kept at 1 mL or less but as the mass of cytotoxic agent increases, the total mass may need to be increased to 1.5 mL. This may not be the case for a small mass of cytotoxic agent, ie.20 mg, but at a 250 mg or 350 mg dose a larger total mass may be required. [0229] **Meloxicam is exemplified, with the dose as actually trialled. The amount of meloxicam, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal, which may also be dependent on the release rate from the SAIB gel. [0230] Up to 1.5 mL would be administered to the animal. [0231] Table 9: Preferred cytotoxic agent meloxicam (dose as trialled) + SAIB formulation a o up o .5 m e. . [0232] **Meloxicam is exemplified, with the dose as actually trialled. The amount of meloxicam, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal. [0233] *Assuming a weight per mL of 1.1 g, the mass of ethanol required is 0.34 g or 22.7% w/v. [0234] Up to 1.5 mL would be administered to the animal. [0235] Table 10: Cytotoxic agent meloxicam (high dose range) or ketoprofen (range including as trialled low and high dose) + SAIB formulation ingredient ranges Tween 80 0-0.02 0-2 [0236] **Ketoprofen and meloxicam are exemplified. The amount of meloxicam or ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal, which may also be dependent on the release rate from the SAIB gel. [0237] *Mass of ethanol may vary from 0 to 0.3 g, ie. 0-30% w/v, and in the absence of other solvents and Tween and at a SAIB level of 0.7 g (70% w/v), maximum cytotoxic agent amount of 0.35 g, and a weight per mL of 1.1 g, the ethanol would be 0.05 g (5% w/v), which may be too low, in which case the maximum concentration of SAIB would have to be reduced. At least approximately 10% w/v ethanol is usually required for an injectable solution. [0238] Table 11: Cytotoxic agent meloxicam (high dose) or ketoprofen (high dose) + SAIB formulation ingredient ranges [0239] **Ketoprofen and meloxicam are exemplified. The amount of meloxicam or ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal, which may also be dependent on the release rate from the SAIB gel. [0240] *Mass of ethanol may vary from 0 to 0.3 g, ie. 0-30% w/v, and in the absence of other solvents and Tween and at a SAIB level of 0.7 g (70% w/v), and assuming a weight per mL of 1.1g, the ethanol would be 0.05 g (5% w/v), which may be too low, in which case the maximum concentration of SAIB would have to be reduced. At least approximately 10% w/v ethanol is usually required for an injectable formulation. [0241] Table 12: Cytotoxic agent meloxicam (high dose) or ketoprofen (as trialled) + SAIB formulation ingredient ranges [0242] **Ketoprofen and meloxicam are exemplified. The amount of meloxicam or ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal, which may also be dependent on the release rate from the SAIB gel. [0243] *Mass of ethanol may vary from 0 to 0.45 g, ie.0-30% w/v, and in the absence of other solvents and Tween and at a SAIB level of 1.2 g (80%), and assuming a weight per mL of 1.1 g, the ethanol would be 0.3 g (20% w/v). [0244] Up to 1.5 mL would be administered to the animal. [0245] Table 13: Cytotoxic agent ketoprofen (high dose) + SAIB formulation [0246] **Ketoprofen is exemplified. The amount of ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased to account for a safe dose to be administered to the animal. [0247] Surprisingly, the inventors have found that SAIB seems to increase the physical stability (or perhaps solubility) of ketoprofen (into a clear solution) in ethanol. [0248] Table 14: Cytotoxic agent ketoprofen (as trailed) + SAIB formulation [0249] **Ketoprofen is exemplified. The amount of ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased. [0250] *Assuming a weight per mL of 1.1 g, this will contain 19% w/v ethanol. [0251] Table 15: Preferred cytotoxic agent ketoprofen (low dose) + SAIB formulation [0252] **Low dose ketoprofen is exemplified, due to prolonged release from the SAIB gel. The amount of ketoprofen, however, may be increased or decreased. [0253] *Assuming a weight per mL of 1.1g, this will contain 17% w/v ethanol. [0254] Note, all estimates of the % w/v ethanol have assumed a weight per mL of the formulation of 1.1 g. The actual values will vary, for example, as the SAIB content is reduced the weight per mL is likely to be lower. Actual values would be determined experimentally using well-known methods.
