Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a composition of a tetracyclic compound having an ALK inhibitory activity, and in particular to a composition for oral administration.


BACKGROUND ART

Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) is one of the receptor type tyrosine kinases belonging to an insulin receptor family (Non-Patent Document Nos. 1 and 2). It is reported that gene alteration of ALK causes production of abnormal kinase fused with other gene.


Examples of the disorders accompanied with ALK abnormality include cancer and cancer metastasis (Non-Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 1), depression and cognitive function disorder (Non-Patent Document 2). Thus, an inhibitor for ALK will provide pharmaceuticals that are effective for treatment and prevention of the disorders.


Such pharmaceuticals are required to be developed in the form of orally administrable formulation. However, propriety of development of an orally administrable formulation depends on the level of bioavailability of a pharmaceutical compound. As a factor which affects bioavailability, water solubility of a pharmaceutical compound can be considered. In general, when a compound which is poorly water-soluble or insoluble in water is orally administered, it shows poor bioavailability. Improving an oral absorbability by increasing the bioavailability of an active ingredient is also important in terms of obtaining stable exhibition of pharmaceutical effect of the active ingredient. Patent Document 2 discloses a composition which comprises a poorly water-soluble ingredient such as steroids, sodium lauryl sulfate and an organic polymer for improving solubility and oral absorbability of a poorly water-soluble ingredient, that is obtained by wet granulation in the presence of water.


Until now, for example, tricyclic compounds (Patent Document 2) or the like have been reported as an ALK inhibiting substance.


However, the tetracyclic compounds that are represented by the following Formula (I) or salts thereof are not described in any document.


Meanwhile, ellipticine derivatives are known as tetracyclic compound (Non-Patent Document 3).


Although the tetracyclic compounds used in the present invention have an excellent ALK inhibitory activity, due to their poorly water-soluble or insoluble property in water, further studies have been needed to develop them in the form of orally administrable formulation.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention

The inventors of the present invention extensively studied to solve the problems described above, and as a result, unexpectedly found that, by allowing a dissolution aid to co-exist with a poorly water-soluble or insoluble substance represented by the Formula (I), solubility of the substance can be significantly improved. The inventors carried out further studies based on these findings, and completed the present invention accordingly.

With the same condition as the method for synthesizing the Compound B1 (7-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-naphthalen-2-one (Compound A1, 209 g, 1.18 mol), tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate (40 g, 0.118 mol) and methyl iodide (162 g, 2.60 mol) were suspended in THF (500 ml) at room temperature. Under stirring, the mixture was added with 50% aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide (400 g) over 5 minutes. Reflux occurred as the inner temperature rapidly increases. Once the inner temperature stopped to increase, stirring was continued for 45 minutes. The reaction solution was diluted with distilled water (1 L) and extracted twice with CPME (1.5 L). The combined organic layer was washed (distilled water 1 L×3), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting crude product was recrystallized with MeOH (1 L) and distilled water (500 ml) to obtain the Compound B1 (7-methoxy-1,1-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-naphthalen-2-one) as a colorless needle-like crystal (177 g, 73%)), and the title compound was synthesized from 6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1H-naphthalen-2-one and iodomethane.

Comparative Example 1

For Comparative example 1, the Compound F6-20 was dissolved in DMSO to the concentration of 0.5 mg/mL, added with hydrochloric acid in the same molar equivalent of the Compound F6-20, and freeze-dried.


Test Example 1

To Nos. 1 to 269 and Comparative example 1, FaSSIF (Fasted state simulated intestinal fluid, E. Galia et al. Pharm. Res. 15: 698Y705 (1998)), which is simulating fasted human intestinal fluids, was added and stirred with a shaker (trade name: Bio Shaker, manufactured by TAITEC) at stirring rate of 200 rpm. After stirring for 10 minutes and 240 minutes, respectively, the concentration was measured with high performance liquid chromatography (trade name; UFLC, manufactured by Shimadzu).


As a result, as shown in Table 3, it was found that solubility of the Compound F6-20 was significantly increased for citric acid (Example 6), hydroxypropyl cellulose (Example 16), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (Example 17), sodium stearyl fumarate (Example 18), methacrylate copolymer LD (Example 22), methyl cellulose (Example 23), sodium lauryl sulfate (Example 24), polyoxyl 40 stearate (Example 38), purified shellac (Example 39), sodium dehydroacetate (Example 44), fumaric acid (Example 46), DL-malic acid (Example 57), stearic L-ascorbate ester (Example 58), L-aspartic acid (Example 59), adipic acid (Example 66), amino alkylmethacrylate copolymer E (Example 67), propylene glycol alginate ester (Example 73), casein (Example 81), sodium caseinate (Example 82), a carboxyvinyl polymer (Example 85), carboxymethylethyl cellulose (Example 86), powdered agar (Example 88), guar gum (Example 90), succinic acid (Example 106), copolyvidone (Example 107), cellulose acetate phthalate (Example 112), tartaric acid (Example 113), dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (Example 117), zein (Example 128), skimmed milk powder (Example 136), sorbitan trioleate (Example 147), lactic acid (Example 148), aluminum lactate (Example 149), ascorbic acid palmitate (Example 152), hydroxyethylmethyl cellulose (Example 154), hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose acetate succinate (Example 156), polyoxyethylene (105) polyoxypropylene (5) glycol (Example 176), polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil 60 (Example 182), polyoxyl 35 castor oil (Example 185), poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (Example 186), polyvinylacetal diethylaminoacetate (Example 190), polyvinyl alcohol (Example 191), maleic acid (Example 200), methacrylate copolymer S (Example 206), lauromacrogol (Example 216), sulfuric acid (Example 219), aluminum sulfate (Example 220), phosphoric acid (Example 223), monobasic calcium phosphate (Example 230), sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (Example 240), vinyl pyrrolidone.vinyl acetate copolymer (Example 241), sodium lauroylsarcosine (Example 245), acetyl tryptophan (Example 253), sodium methyl sulfate (Example 260), sodium ethyl sulfate (Example 261), sodium butyl sulfate (Example 262), sodium octyl sulfate (Example 263), sodium decyl sulfate (Example 264), sodium tetradecyl sulfate (Example 265), sodium hexadecyl sulfate (Example 266), and sodium octadecyl sulfate (Example 267).

Examples 270 to 281
(Materials)

Hydrochloride salt crystal of the Compound F6-20 was obtained according a method generally known in the art (for example, the method described in the Production example 30). For the Examples 270 to 281, hydrochloride salt crystal of the Compound F6-20 was prepared according to dry blending method using agate mortar and pestle with the formula shown in Tables 4 to 8. Sodium lauryl sulfate passed with 100 mesh was used. For the Comparative example 2, hydrochloride salt crystal of the Compound F6-20 and lactose were mixed with each other at weight ratio of 1:9.


Test Example 2 (Small Scale Dissolution Test)

For the small dissolution scale test (R. Takano et al, Pharm. Res. 23: 1144-1156 (2006)), a small scale dissolution tester (Vankel Technologies, Inc.) was used and the solubilities in FaSSIF were determined at 37° C. with paddle stirred rate of 50 rpm. For each test sample, after 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45, 60, 120, and 240 minutes lapse, concentration of the Compound F6-20 in FaSSIF was measured by high performance liquid chromatography.


Examples 270 to 272

Using the Examples 270 to 272 shown in Table 4 and the above Comparative Example 2, the effect of the additive amount of SLS on solubility of the Compound F6-20 hydrochloride salt crystal was determined. As a result, it was found that the solubility of the Compound F6-20 is improved in accordance with the additive amount of sodium lauryl sulfate as shown in FIG. 1.

Examples 276 to 278

Using the Examples 276 to 278 shown in Table 6 and the above Comparative Example 2, the effect of additive amount of HPC on solubility of the Compound F6-20 hydrochloride salt crystal was determined. As a result, it was found that the Examples 276 to 278 have higher solubility than Comparative example 2 as shown in FIG. 3. Thus, at least by adding the HPC in an amount of 25 to 100% by weight compared to the Compound F6-20, the solubility improving effect can be obtained.

Examples 280 to 281

Using the Examples 280 to 281 shown in Table 8 and the above Comparative Example 2, effect of the difference in manufacturing method on the solubility of the Compound F6-20 hydrochloride salt crystal was determined. For the dry blending method, Compound F6-20 hydrochloride salt crystal and each formula ingredient were mixed by using agate mortar and pestle. For the wet granulation method, the dissolution aids other than magnesium stearate and the Compound F6-20 were mixed using agate mortar and pestle. After adding water dropwise, the wet powder was subjected to granulating using a mesh with sieve opening of 850 μm. After drying at 60° C. for 3 hours, particle size regulating was carried out by using an 850 μm mesh again. As a result, it was found that there is no significant difference in the solubility of the Compound F6-20 hydrochloride salt crystal between different production methods, as shown in FIG. 5. Thus, it was shown that the effect of improving the solubility by SLS and the polymer does not depend on production method.
