The eye is a complex organ with unique anatomy and physiology. The structure of the eye can be divided into two parts, the anterior and posterior. The cornea, conjunctiva, aqueous humor, iris, ciliary body and lens are in the anterior portion. The posterior portion includes the sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, neural retina, optic nerve and vitreous humor. The most prevalent diseases affecting the posterior segment of the eye are dry and wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy. The most important diseases affecting the anterior segment include glaucoma, allergic conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis and cataracts. Glaucoma, which damages the eye's optic nerve, is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness.
To address issues of ocular delivery, a large number of types of delivery systems have been devised, including conventional (solution, suspension, emulsion, ointment, inserts and gels); vesicular (liposomes, exosomes, niosomes, discomes and pharmacosomes); advanced materials (scleral plugs, gene delivery, siRNA and stem cells); and, controlled release systems (implants, hydrogels, dendrimers, iontophoresis, collagen shields, polymeric solutions, therapeutic contact lenses, cyclodextrin carriers, microneedles and microemulsions and particulates (microparticles and nanoparticles)).
Topical drops are widely used non-invasive routes of drug administration to treat anterior ocular diseases due to their non-invasiveness and convenience. Typical routes of drug delivery to the eye are topical, systemic, subconjunctival, intravitreal, punctal, intrasceral, transscleral, anterior or posterior sub-Tenon's, suprachoroidal, choroidal, subchoroidal, and subretinal.
Transscleral delivery with periocular administration is seen as an alternative to intravitreal injections, however, ocular barriers such as the sclera, choroid, retinal pigment epithelium, lymphatic flow and general blood flow compromise efficacy.
To treat ocular diseases, and in particular disease of the posterior chamber, the drug must be delivered in an amount and for a duration to achieve efficacy.

Aggregating microparticles for ocular therapy are described in WO/2017/083779 and WO/2018/209155.
There remains a need to deliver effective therapies to the eye, including those that can reduce ocular pressure. Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide new compounds, compositions and methods to treat ocular disorders, including that reduce intraocular pressure (IOP).
The present invention provides new prodrugs, including oligomeric prodrugs, and compositions thereof of the specific loop diuretics Furosemide, Bumetanide, Piretanide, or Ozolinone to provide therapies that are advantageous for ocular delivery of these drugs.
In one embodiment, the invention is an active compound or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′.
In one embodiment, the invention is a method for delivering an active prodrug to the eye that includes presenting it as discussed herein in a controlled delivery system, for example a microparticle or nanoparticle, that allows for sustained delivery.
The active therapeutic agent delivered in modified form is selected from the loop diuretics Furosemide, Bumetanide, Piretanide, and Ozolinone, which is the metabolite of Etozolin.
Any of the compounds or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof can be administered in an immediate or controlled delivery system as desired to achieve the appropriate effect. The compound, for example, can be administered systemically, topically, parentally, intravenously, subcutaneously, intramuscularly, transdermally, buccally, or sublingually in an effective amount to treat a disorder that can be treated with a loop diuretic.
The compounds of the invention can be used for the controlled administration of active compounds to the eye, over a period of at least two, three, four, five or six months or more in a manner that maintains at least a concentration in the eye that is effective for the disorder to be treated. In some embodiments, the prodrug is provided in a microparticle, microcapsule, vesicle, reservoir, or nanoparticle. In one embodiment, the drug is administered in a polymeric formulation that provides a controlled release that is linear. In another embodiment, the release is not linear; however, even the lowest concentration of release over the designated time period is at or above a therapeutically effective dose. In one embodiment, this is achieved by formulating a hydrophobic prodrug of the invention in a polymeric delivery material such as a polymer or copolymer that includes moieties of at least lactic acid, glycolic acid, propylene oxide or ethylene oxide. In a particular embodiment, the polymeric delivery system includes PLGA, PLA or PGA with or without covalently attached or admixed polyethylene glycol. For example, the hydrophobic drug may be delivered in a mixture of PLGA and PLGA-PEG, PEG, PLA, or PLA-PEG. The hydrophobic drug may be delivered in a mixture of PLA and PLGA-PEG, PEG, PLGA, or PLA-PEG.
In certain embodiments, the prodrug of the present invention is delivered in a microparticle or nanoparticle that is a blend of two polymers, for example (i) a PLGA polymer or PLA polymer as described herein and (ii) a PLGA-PEG or PLA-PEG copolymer. In another embodiment, the microparticle or nanoparticle is a blend of three polymers, such as, for example, (i) a PLGA polymer; (ii) a PLA polymer; and, (iii) a copolymer of PLGA-PEG or PLA-PEG. In an additional embodiment, the microparticle or nanoparticle is a blend of (i) a PLA polymer; (ii) a PLGA polymer; (iii) a PLGA polymer that has a different ratio of lactide and glycolide monomers than the PLGA in (ii); and, (iv) a PLGA-PEG or PLA-PEG copolymer. Any ratio of lactide and glycolide in the PLGA can be used that achieves the desired therapeutic effect. In certain illustrative non-limiting embodiments, the ratio of PLA to PLGA by weight in a polymer blend as described is 77/22, 69/30, 49/50, 54/45, 59/40, 64/35, 69/30, 74/25, 79/20, 84/15, 89/10, 94/5, or 99/1.

In certain embodiments, the PLGA in (ii) has a ratio of lactide to glycolide of 85/15, 75/25, or 50/50. In certain embodiments the PLGA in (iii) has a ratio of lactide to glycolide of 85/15, 75/25, or 50/50.
In certain aspects, the drug may be delivered in a blend of PLGA or PLA and PEG-PLGA, including but not limited to (i) PLGA+approximately by weight 1% PEG-PLGA or (ii) PLA+approximately by weight 1% PEG-PLGA. In certain aspects, the drug may be delivered in a blend of (iii) PLGA/PLA+approximately by weight 1% PEG-PLGA. In certain embodiments, the blend of PLA, PLGA, or PLA/PGA with PLGA-PEG contains approximately from about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.5% to about 5% by weight of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.5% to about 4% by weight of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.5% to about 3% by weight of a PEG-PLGA, from about 1.0% to about 3.0% by weight of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.1% to about 10% of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.1% to about 5% of a PEG-PLGA, from about 0.1% to about 1% PEG-PLGA, or from about 0.1% to about 2% PEG-PLGA.
In certain non-limiting embodiments, the ratio by weight percent of PLGA to PEG-PLGA in a two polymer blend as described is about or at least about 40/1, 45/1, 50/1, 55/1, 60/1, 65/1, 70/1, 75/1, 80/1, 85/1, 90/1, 95/1, 96/1, 97/1, 98/1, 99/1. The PLGA can be acid or ester capped. In non-limiting aspects, the drug can be delivered in a two polymer blend of PLGA75:25 4A+approximately 1% PEG-PLGA50:50; PLGA85:15 5A+approximately 1% PEG-PLGA5050; PLGA75:25 6E+approximately 1% PEG-PLGA50:50; or, PLGA50:50 2A+approximately 1% PEG-PLGA50:50.
In certain non-limiting embodiments, the ratio by weight percent of PLA/PLGA-PEG in a polymer blend as described is about or at least about 40/1, 45/1, 50/1, 55/1, 60/1, 65/1, 70/1, 75/1, 80/1, 85/1, 90/1, 95/1, 96/1, 97/1, 98/1, 99/1. The PLA can be acid capped or ester capped. In cetain aspects, the PLA is PLA 4.5A. In non-limiting aspects, the drug is delivered in a blend of PLA 4.5A+1% PEG-PLGA.
The PEG segment of the PEG-PLGA may have, for example, in non-limiting embodiments, a molecular weight of at least about or about 1 kDa, 2 kDa, 3 kDa, 4 kDa, 5 kDa, 6 kDa, 7 kDa, 8 kDa, 9 kDa, or 10 kDa, and typically not greater than 10 kDa, 15 kDa, 20 kDa, or 50 kDa, or in some embodiments, 6 kDa, 7 kDa, 8 kDa, or 9 kDa. In certain embodiment, the PEG segment of the PEG-PLGA has a molecular weight between about 3 kDa and about 7 kDa or between about 2 kDa and about 7 kDa. Non-limiting examples of the PLGA segment of the PEG-PLGA is PLGA50:50, PLGA75:25, or PLGA85:15. In one embodiment, the PEG-PLGA segment is PEG (5 kDa)-PLGA50:50.
When the drug is delivered in a blend of PLGA+PEG-PLGA, any ratio of lactide and glycolide in the PLGA or the PLGA-PEG can be used that achieves the desired therapeutic effect. Non-limiting illustrative embodiments of the ratio of lactide/glycolide in the PLGA or PLGA-PEG are about or at least about 5/95, 10/90, 15/85, 20/80, 25/75, 30/70, 35/65, 40/60, 45/55, 50/50, 55/45, 60/40, 65/35, 70/30, 75/25, 80/20, 85/15, 90/10, or 95/5. In one embodiment, the PLGA is a block co-polymer, for example, diblock, triblock, multiblock, or star-shaped block. In one embodiment, the PLGA is a random co-polymer. In certain aspects, the PLGA is PLGA75:25 4A; PLGA85:15 5A; PLGA75:25 6E; or, PLGA50:50 2A.
In another embodiment, the polymer includes a polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polypropylene oxide (PPO). In certain aspects, the polymer can be a random, block, diblock, triblock or multiblock copolymer (for example, a polylactide, a polylactide-co-glycolide, polyglycolide or Pluronic). For injection into the eye, the polymer is pharmaceutically acceptable and typically biodegradable so that it does not have to be removed.
The decreased rate of release of the active material to the ocular compartment may result in decreased inflammation, which has been a significant side effect of ocular therapy to date.
It is also important that the decreased rate of release of the drug while maintaining efficacy over an extended time of up to 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 months be achieved using a particle that is small enough for administration through a needle without causing significant damage or discomfort to the eye and not to give the illusion to the patient of black spots floating in the eye. This typically means the controlled release particle should be less than approximately 300, 250, 200, 150, 100, 50, 45, 40, 35, or 30 μm, such as less than approximately 30, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 22 21, or 20 μm. In one aspect, the particles do not agglomerate in vivo to form larger particles, but instead in general maintain their administered size and decrease in size over time.
The hydrophobicity of the conjugated drug can be measured using a partition coefficient (P; such as Log P in octanol/water), or distribution coefficient (D; such as Log D in octanol/water) according to methods well known to those of skill in the art. Log P is typically used for compounds that are substantially un-ionized in water and Log D is typically used to evaluate compounds that ionize in water. In certain embodiments, the conjugated derivatized drug has a Log P or Log D of greater than approximately 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 or 6. In other embodiments, the conjugated derivatized drug has a Log P or Log D which is at least approximately 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5 or 4 Log P or Log D units, respectively, higher than the parent hydrophilic drug.

Any of the compounds described herein (Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′) can be administered to the eye in a composition as described further herein in any desired form of administration, including via intravitreal, intrastromal, intracameral, sub-tenon, sub-retinal, retro-bulbar, peribulbar, suprachoroidal, choroidal, subchoroidal, conjunctival, subconjunctival, episcleral, posterior juxtascleral, circumcorneal, and tear duct injections, or through a mucus, mucin, or a mucosal barrier, in an immediate or controlled release fashion. In one embodiment, any of the compounds described herein (Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′) can be administered to the eye via topical administration.
In any of the Formulas described herein (Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′) if the stereochemistry of a chiral carbon is not specifically designated in the Formula it is intended that the carbon can be used as an R enantiomer, an S enantiomer, or a mixture of enantiomers including a racemic mixture. In Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, or Formula VIII, Timolol has (S)-stereochemistry as used in commercial Timolol maleate ophthalmic solutions, such as Istalol® and Timoptic®. On both U.S. FDA labels, Timolol maleate is described as a single enantiomer ((−)-1-(tert-butylamino)-3-[(4-morpholino-1,2,5-thiadiazol-3-yl)oxy]-2-propanol maleate) that “possesses an asymmetric carbon atom in its structure and is provided as the levo-isomer.” The (S)-enantiomer has CAS No. 26839-75-8 and the (R)-enantiomer has CAS No. 26839-76-9, but only the (S)-enantiomer is described as “Timolol”. Likewise, compounds presented which are or are analogs of commercial products are provided in their approved stereochemistry for regulatory use, unless stated otherwise.
In addition, moieties that have repetitive units of the same or varying monomers, for example including, but not limited to an oligomer of polylactic acid, polylactide-coglycolide, or polypropylene oxide, that have a chiral carbon can be used with the chiral carbons all having the same stereochemistry, random stereochemistry (by either monomer or oligomer), racemic (by either monomer or oligomer) or ordered but different stereochemistry such as a block of S enantiomer units followed by a block of R enantiomer units in each oligomeric unit. In some embodiments lactic acid is used in its naturally occurring S enantiomeric form.
In certain embodiments, the conjugated active drug is delivered in a biodegradable microparticle or nanoparticle that has at least approximately 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, 25 or 30% or more by weight conjugated active drug. In some embodiments, the biodegradable microparticle degrades over a period of time and in any event provides controlled delivery that lasts at least approximately 2 months, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months or 6 months or more. In some embodiments, the loaded microparticles are administered via subconjunctival or subchoroidal injection.
In certain embodiments, the conjugated active drug is delivered as the pharmaceutically acceptable salt form. Salt forms of a compound will exhibit distinctive solution and solid-state properties compared to their respective free base or free acid form, and for this reason pharmaceutical salts are used in drug formulations to improve aqueous solubility, chemical stability, and physical stability issues. Lipophilic salt forms of compounds, which have enhanced solubility in lipidic vehicles relative to the free acid or free base forms of compounds, are often advantageous in terms of pharmacological properties due in part to their low melting points. Lipophilic salt forms of compounds are used to increase aqueous solubility for oral and parenteral drug delivery, enhance permeation across hydrophobic barriers, and enhance drug loading in lipid-based formulations.
In all of the polymer moieties described in this specification, where the structures are depicted as block copolymers (for example, blocks of “x” followed by blocks of “y”) it is intended that the polymer can alternately be a random or alternating copolymer (for example, “x” and “y”, are either randomly distributed or alternate). Unless stereochemistry is specifically indicated, each individual moiety of each oligomer that has a chiral center can be presented at the chiral carbon in (R) or (S) configuration or a mixture there of, including a racemic mixture.
In most of the Formulas presented herein, the prodrugs are depicted as one or several active moieties covalently bound to or through a described prodrug moiety(ies) with a defined variable range of each of the active moiety and the prodrug moiety, typically through the use of descriptors x, y, or z. As indicated below, these descriptors can independently have numerical ranges provided below, and in most embodiments, are typically within a smaller range, also as provided below. Each variable is independent such that any of the integers of one variable can be used with any of the integers of the other variable, and each combination is considered separately and independently disclosed, and set out below like this only for space considerations.

In certain embodiments, x is in integer selected from 1, 2, 3, and 4 and y is 3.
Where x or y is used in connection with the monomeric residue in an oligomer, including for example but not limited to:
then x or y is in some embodiments independently 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8, and even for example, 2, 4 or 6 residues.
Where z is used in connection with a single atom, such as
z is independently selected from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12, and more typically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, and even 1, 2, 3 and 4 or 1 and 2.

The terms “a” and “an” do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item. Recitation of ranges of values are merely intended to serve as a shorthand method of referring individually to each separate value falling within the range, unless otherwise indicated herein, and each separate value is incorporated into the specification as if it were individually recited herein. The endpoints of all ranges are included within the range and are independently combinable. All methods described herein can be performed in a suitable order unless otherwise indicated herein or otherwise clearly contradicted by context. The use of examples, or exemplary language (e.g., “such as”), is intended merely to better illustrate the invention and does not pose a limitation on the scope of the invention unless otherwise claimed.
The present invention includes compounds of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′ and the use of compounds with at least one desired isotopic substitution of an atom, at an amount above the natural abundance of the isotope, i.e., enriched. Isotopes are atoms having the same atomic number but different mass numbers, i.e., the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.
Examples of isotopes that can be incorporated into compounds of the invention include isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus, fluorine, and chlorine, such as 2H, 3H, 11C, 3C, 14C, 15N, 18F 31P, 32P, 35S, 36Cl, 125I respectively. The invention includes isotopically modified compounds of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′ Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, Formula XII′, Formula XIII, Formula XIV, Formula XV, Formula XVI, Formula XVI′, Formula XVII, Formula XVIII, Formula XIX, Formula XX, Formula XX′, Formula XXI, Formula XXII, Formula XXIII, Formula XXIV, or Formula XXIV′. Isotopically labeled compounds of this invention and prodrugs thereof can generally be prepared by carrying out the procedures disclosed in the schemes or in the examples and preparations described below by substituting an isotopically labeled reagent for a non-isotopically labeled reagent.
By way of general example and without limitation, isotopes of hydrogen, for example, deuterium (2H) and tritium (3H) may be used anywhere in described structures that achieves the desired result. Alternatively or in addition, isotopes of carbon, e.g., 13C and 14C, may be used. In one embodiment, the isotopic substitution is deuterium for hydrogen at one or more locations on the molecule to improve the performance of the drug, for example, the pharmacodynamics, pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, half-life, stability, AUC, Tmax, Cmax, etc. For example, the deuterium can be bound to carbon in a location of bond breakage during metabolism (an α-deuterium kinetic isotope effect) or next to or near the site of bond breakage (a β-deuterium kinetic isotope effect).
Isotopic substitutions, for example deuterium substitutions, can be partial or complete. Partial deuterium substitution means that at least one hydrogen is substituted with deuterium. In certain embodiments, the isotope is 90, 95 or 99% or more enriched at any location of interest. In one embodiment deuterium is 90, 95 or 99% enriched at a desired location.
In one embodiment, the substitution of a hydrogen atom for a deuterium atom can be provided in any of A, QL1, or L2. In one embodiment, the substitution of a hydrogen atom for a deuterium atom occurs within an R group selected from any of R1, R2, R2′, R3, R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9, R1, R11, R11′, R12, R13, R14, R15, R16, R17, R18, R19, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24, R2, R26, R27, R28, R29, R30, R31, R32, R33, R34, R35, R36, R37, R40, R41, R42, and R43. For example, when any of R groups are, or contain for example through substitution, methyl, ethyl, or methoxy, the alkyl residue may be deuterated (in non-limiting embodiments, CD3, CH2CD3, CD2CD3, CDH2, CD2H, CD3, CHDCH2D, CH2CD3, CHDCHD2, OCDH2, OCD2H, or OCD3 etc.
The compound of the present invention may form a solvate with a solvent (including water). Therefore, in one embodiment, the invention includes a solvated form of the active compound. The term “solvate” refers to a molecular complex of a compound of the present invention (including salts thereof) with one or more solvent molecules. Examples of solvents are water, ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetone and other common organic solvents. The term “hydrate” refers to a molecular complex comprising a compound of the invention and water. Pharmaceutically acceptable solvates in accordance with the invention include those wherein the solvent may be isotopically substituted, e.g. D2O, d6-acetone, d6-DMSO. A solvate can be in a liquid or solid form.
A dash (“-”) is defined by context and can in addition to its literary meaning indicate a point of attachment for a substituent. For example, —(C═O)NH2 is attached through carbon of the keto (C═O) group. A dash (“-”) can also indicate a bond within a chemical structure. For example —C(O)—NH2 is attached through carbon of the keto group which is bound to an amino group (NH2).
An equal sign (“=”) is defined by context and can in addition to its literary meaning indicate a point of attachment for a substituent wherein the attachment is through a double bond. For example, =CH2 represents a fragment that is doubly bonded to the parent structure and consists of one carbon with two hydrogens bonded in a terminal fashion. ═CHCH3 on the other hand represents a fragment that is doubly bonded to the parent structure and consists of two carbons. In the above example it should be noted that the stereoisomer is not delineated and that both the cis and trans isomer are independently represented by the group.
The term “substituted”, as used herein, means that any one or more hydrogens on the designated atom or group is replaced with a moiety selected from the indicated group, provided that the designated atom's normal valence is not exceeded. For example, when the substituent is oxo (i.e., =O), then in one embodiment, two hydrogens on the atom are replaced. When an oxo group replaces two hydrogens in an aromatic moiety, the corresponding partially unsaturated ring replaces the aromatic ring. For example a pyridyl group substituted by oxo is a 78ydroxyl. Combinations of substituents and/or variables are permissible only if such combinations result in stable compounds or useful synthetic intermediates.
A stable compound or stable structure refers to a compound with a long enough residence time to either be used as a synthetic intermediate or as a therapeutic agent, as relevant in context.
“Alkyl” is a straight chain saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon group. In certain embodiments, the alkyl is C1-C2, C1-C3, C1-C6, or C1-C30 (i.e., the alkyl chain can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 carbons in length). The specified ranges as used herein indicate an alkyl group with length of each member of the range described as an independent species. For example, the term C1-C6 alkyl as used herein indicates a straight alkyl group having from 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 carbon atoms and is intended to mean that each of these is described as an independent species. For example, the term C1-C4alkyl as used herein indicates a straight or branched alkyl group having from 1, 2, 3, or 4 carbon atoms and is intended to mean that each of these is described as an independent species. When C0-Cn alkyl is used herein in conjunction with another group, for example, (C3-C7cycloalkyl)C0-C4 alkyl, or —C0-C4alkyl(C3-C7cycloalkyl), the indicated group, in this case cycloalkyl, is either directly bound by a single covalent bond (C0alkyl), or attached by an alkyl chain in this case 1, 2, 3, or 4 carbon atoms. Alkyls can also be attached via other groups such as heteroatoms as in —O—C0-C4alkyl(C3-C7cycloalkyl). Alkyls can be further substituted with alkyl to make branched alkyls. Examples of alkyl include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, sec-butyl, t-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, tert-pentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 2-methylpentane, 3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane and 2,3-dimethylbutane. In one embodiment, the alkyl group is optionally substituted as described above.
“Alkenyl” is a straight chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group having one or more carbon-carbon double bonds each of which is independently either cis or trans that may occur at a stable point along the chain. In one embodiment, the double bond in a long chain similar to a fatty acid has the stereochemistry as commonly found in nature. Non-limiting examples are C2-C30alkenyl, C1-C30alkenyl (i.e., having 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30 carbons), and C2-C4alkenyl. The specified ranges as used herein indicate an alkenyl group having each member of the range described as an independent species, as described above for the alkyl moiety.

Compounds of the present invention with stereocenters may be drawn without stereochemistry for convenience. One skilled in the art will recognize that pure enantiomers and diastereomers can be prepared by methods known in the art. Examples of methods to obtain optically active materials include at least the following.
i) Physical separation of crystals—a technique whereby macroscopic crystals of the individual enantiomers are manually separated. This technique can be used if crystals of the separate enantiomers exist, i.e., the material is a conglomerate, and the crystals are visually distinct;
ii) Simultaneous crystallization—a technique whereby the individual enantiomers are separately crystallized from a solution of the racemate, possible only if the latter is a conglomerate in the solid state;
iii) Enzymatic resolutions—a technique whereby partial or complete separation of a racemate by virtue of differing rates of reaction for the enantiomers with an enzyme;
iv) Enzymatic asymmetric synthesis—a synthetic technique whereby at least one step of the synthesis uses an enzymatic reaction to obtain an enantiomerically pure or enriched synthetic precursor of the desired enantiomer;
v) Chemical asymmetric synthesis—a synthetic technique whereby the desired enantiomer is synthesized from an achiral precursor under conditions that produce asymmetry (i.e., chirality) in the product, which may be achieved using chiral catalysts or chiral auxiliaries;
vi) Diastereomer separations—a technique whereby a racemic compound is reacted with an enantiomerically pure reagent (the chiral auxiliary) that converts the individual enantiomers to diastereomers. The resulting diastereomers are then separated by chromatography or crystallization by virtue of their now more distinct structural differences and the chiral auxiliary later removed to obtain the desired enantiomer;
vii) First- and second-order asymmetric transformations—a technique whereby diastereomers from the racemate equilibrate to yield a preponderance in solution of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer or where preferential crystallization of the diastereomer from the desired enantiomer perturbs the equilibrium such that eventually in principle all the material is converted to the crystalline diastereomer from the desired enantiomer. The desired enantiomer is then released from the diastereomer;
viii) Kinetic resolutions—this technique refers to the achievement of partial or complete resolution of a racemate (or of a further resolution of a partially resolved compound) by virtue of unequal reaction rates of the enantiomers with a chiral, non-racemic reagent or catalyst under kinetic conditions;
ix) Enantiospecific synthesis from non-racemic precursors—a synthetic technique whereby the desired enantiomer is obtained from non-chiral starting materials and where the stereochemical integrity is not or is only minimally compromised over the course of the synthesis;
x) Chiral liquid chromatography—a technique whereby the enantiomers of a racemate are separated in a liquid mobile phase by virtue of their differing interactions with a stationary phase (including via chiral HPLC). The stationary phase can be made of chiral material or the mobile phase can contain an additional chiral material to provoke the differing interactions;
xi) Chiral gas chromatography—a technique whereby the racemate is volatilized and enantiomers are separated by virtue of their differing interactions in the gaseous mobile phase with a column containing a fixed non-racemic chiral adsorbent phase;
xii) Extraction with chiral solvents—a technique whereby the enantiomers are separated by virtue of preferential dissolution of one enantiomer into a particular chiral solvent;
xiii) Transport across chiral membranes—a technique whereby a racemate is placed in contact with a thin membrane barrier. The barrier typically separates two miscible fluids, one containing the racemate, and a driving force such as concentration or pressure differential causes preferential transport across the membrane barrier. Separation occurs as a result of the non-racemic chiral nature of the membrane that allows only one enantiomer of the racemate to pass through.
xiv) Simulated moving bed chromatography, is used in one embodiment. A wide variety of chiral stationary phases are commercially available.

The pharmaceutical compositions can be formulated for oral administration. These compositions can contain any amount of active compound that achieves the desired result, for example between 0.1 and 99 weight % (wt. %) of the compound and usually at least about 5 wt. % of the compound. Some embodiments contain at least about 10%, 15%, 20%, 25 wt. % to about 50 wt. % or from about 5 wt. % to about 75 wt. % of the compound.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for rectal administration are typically presented as unit dose suppositories. These may be prepared by admixing the active compound with one or more conventional solid carriers, for example, cocoa butter, and then shaping the resulting mixture.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for topical application to the skin preferably take the form of an ointment, cream, lotion, paste, gel, spray, aerosol, or oil. Carriers which may be used include petroleum jelly, lanoline, polyethylene glycols, alcohols, transdermal enhancers, and combinations of two or more thereof.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for transdermal administration may be presented as discrete patches adapted to remain in intimate contact with the epidermis of the recipient for a prolonged period of time. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for transdermal administration may also be delivered by iontophoresis (see, for example, Pharmaceutical Research 3 (6):318 (1986)) and typically take the form of an optionally buffered aqueous solution of the active compound. In one embodiment, microneedle patches or devices are provided for delivery of drugs across or into biological tissue, particularly the skin. The microneedle patches or devices permit drug delivery at clinically relevant rates across or into skin or other tissue barriers, with minimal or no damage, pain, or irritation to the tissue.
Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for administration to the lungs can be delivered by a wide range of passive breath driven and active power driven single/-multiple dose dry powder inhalers (DPI). The devices most commonly used for respiratory delivery include nebulizers, metered-dose inhalers, and dry powder inhalers. Several types of nebulizers are available, including jet nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers, and vibrating mesh nebulizers. Selection of a suitable lung delivery device depends on parameters, such as nature of the drug and its formulation, the site of action, and pathophysiology of the lung.
Compounds of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′ or its salt, can be delivered by any method known for ocular delivery.

In another embodiment the selected compound is not administered topically. In certain aspects, etozolin is administered via subconjunctival injection. Representative carriers include solvents, diluents, pH modifying agents, preservatives, antioxidants, suspending agents, wetting agents, viscosity agents, tonicity agents, stabilizing agents, and combinations thereof.
The loop diuretic will preferably be formulated as a solution or suspension for injection to the eye. Pharmaceutical formulations for ocular administration are preferably in the form of a sterile aqueous solution. Acceptable solutions include, for example, water, Ringer's solution, phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and isotonic sodium chloride solution. The formulation may also be a sterile solution, suspension, or emulsion in a nontoxic, parenterally acceptable diluent or solvent such as 1,3-butanediol. In some instances, the formulation is distributed or packaged in a liquid form. Alternatively, formulations for ocular administration can be packed as a solid, obtained, for example by lyophilization of a suitable liquid formulation. The solid can be reconstituted with an appropriate carrier or diluent prior to administration.
Solutions, suspensions, ointments or emulsions for ocular administration may be buffered with an effective amount of buffer necessary to maintain a pH suitable for ocular administration. Suitable buffers are well known by those skilled in the art and some examples of useful buffers are acetate, borate, carbonate, citrate, and phosphate buffers.
Solutions, suspensions, or emulsions for ocular administration may also contain one or more tonicity agents to adjust the isotonic range of the formulation. Suitable tonicity agents are well known in the art and some examples include glycerin, mannitol, sorbitol, sodium chloride, and other electrolytes.
Solutions, suspensions, ointments or emulsions for ocular administration may also contain one or more preservatives to prevent bacterial contamination of the ophthalmic preparations. Suitable preservatives are known in the art, and include polyhexamethylenebiguanidine (PHMB), benzalkonium chloride (BAK), stabilized oxychloro complexes (otherwise known as Purite), phenylmercuric acetate, chlorobutanol, sorbic acid, chlorhexidine, benzyl alcohol, parabens, thimerosal, and mixtures thereof.

In some embodiments, the polymeric material includes up to 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10% or more hydrophilic polymer. In one embodiment, the hydrophobic polymer is a polymer or copolymer of lactic acid or glycolic acid, including PLGA. In one embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is polyethylene glycol. In certain embodiments a triblock polymer such as a Pluronic is used. The drug delivery system can be suitable for administration into an eye compartment of a patient, for example by injection into the eye compartment. In some embodiments, the core includes a biocompatible polymer. As used herein, unless the context indicates otherwise, “drug delivery system”, “carrier”, and “particle composition” can all be used interchangeably. In a typical embodiment this delivery system is used for ocular delivery.
The particle in the drug delivery system can be of any desired size that achieves the desired result. The appropriate particle size can vary based on the method of administration, the eye compartment to which the drug delivery system is administered, the therapeutic agent employed and the eye disorder to be treated, as will be appreciated by a person of skill in the art in light of the teachings disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments the particle has a diameter of at least about 1 nm, or from about 1 nm to about 50 microns. The particle can also have a diameter of, for example, from about 1 nm to about 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 2, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 or 30 microns; or from about 10 nm to about less than 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50 microns; or from about 10 nm to about less than 28 microns; from about 1 nm to about 5 microns; less than about 1 nm; from about 1 nm to about 3 microns; or from about 1 nm to about 1000 nm; or from about 25 nm to about 75 nm; or from about 20 nm to less than or about 30 nm; or from about 100 nm to about 300 nm. In some embodiments, the average particle size can be about up to 1 nm, 10 nm, 25 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 250 nm, 300 nm, 350 nm, 400 nm, 450 nm, 500 nm, 550 nm, 600 nm, 650 nm, 700 nm, 750 nm, 800 nm, 850 nm, 900 nm, 950 nm, 1000 nm, or more.

In some embodiments, the particle can be a nanoparticle or a microparticle. In some embodiments, the drug delivery system can contain a plurality of sizes particles. The particles can be all nanoparticles, all microparticles, or a combination of nanoparticles and microparticles.
When delivering the active material in a polymeric delivery composition, the active material can be distributed homogeneously, heterogeneously, or in one or more polymeric layers of a multi-layered composition, including in a polymer coated core or a bare uncoated core.
In some embodiments, the drug delivery system includes a particle comprising a core. In some embodiments a loop diuretic selected from furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, and etozolin or a compound of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′ can be present in the core in a suitable amount, e.g., at least about 1% weight (wt), at least about 5% wt, at least about 10% wt, at least about 20% wt, at least about 30% wt, at least about 40% wt, at least about 50% wt, at least about 60% wt, at least about 70% wt, at least about 80% wt, at least about 85% wt, at least about 90% wt, at least about 95% wt, or at least about 99% wt of the core. In one embodiment, the core is formed of 100% wt of the pharmaceutical agent. In some cases, the pharmaceutical agent may be present in the core at less than or equal to about 100% wt, less than or equal to about 90% wt, less than or equal to about 80% wt, less than or equal to about 70% wt, less than or equal to about 60% wt, less than or equal to about 50% wt, less than or equal to about 40% wt, less than or equal to about 30% wt, less than or equal to about 20% wt, less than or equal to about 10% wt, less than or equal to about 5% wt, less than or equal to about 2% wt, or less than or equal to about 1% wt. Combinations of the above-referenced ranges are also possible (e.g., present in an amount of at least about 80% wt and less than or equal to about 100% wt). Other ranges are also possible.
In embodiments in which the core particles comprise relatively high amounts of a pharmaceutical agent (e.g., at least about 50% wt of the core particle), the core particles generally have an increased loading of the pharmaceutical agent compared to particles that are formed by encapsulating agents into polymeric carriers. This is an advantage for drug delivery applications, since higher drug loadings mean that fewer numbers of particles may be needed to achieve a desired effect compared to the use of particles containing polymeric carriers.
In some embodiments, the core is formed of a solid material having a relatively low aqueous solubility (i.e., a solubility in water, optionally with one or more buffers), and/or a relatively low solubility in the solution in which the solid material is being coated with a surface-altering agent. For example, the solid material may have an aqueous solubility (or a solubility in a coating solution) of less than or equal to about 5 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 2 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 1 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.5 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.1 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.05 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.01 mg/mL, less than or equal to about 1 μg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.1 μg/mL, less than or equal to about 0.01 μg/mL, less than or equal to about 1 ng/mL, less than or equal to about 0.1 ng/mL, or less than or equal to about 0.01 ng/mL at 25° C. In some embodiments, the solid material may have an aqueous solubility (or a solubility in a coating solution) of at least about 1 pg/mL, at least about 10 pg/mL, at least about 0.1 ng/mL, at least about 1 ng/mL, at least about 10 ng/mL, at least about 0.1 μg/mL, at least about 1 μg/mL, at least about 5 μg/mL, at least about 0.01 mg/mL, at least about 0.05 mg/mL, at least about 0.1 mg/mL, at least about 0.5 mg/mL, at least about 1.0 mg/mL, at least about 2 mg/mL. Combinations of the above-noted ranges are possible (e.g., an aqueous solubility or a solubility in a coating solution of at least about 10 pg/mL and less than or equal to about 1 mg/mL). Other ranges are also possible. The solid material may have these or other ranges of aqueous solubilities at any point throughout the pH range (e.g., from pH 1 to pH 14).
In some embodiments, the core may be formed of a material within one of the ranges of solubilities classified by the U.S. Pharmacopeia Convention: e.g., very soluble: >1,000 mg/mL; freely soluble: 100-1,000 mg/mL; soluble: 33-100 mg/mL; sparingly soluble: 10-33 mg/mL; slightly soluble: 1-10 mg/mL; very slightly soluble: 0.1-1 mg/mL; and practically insoluble: <0.1 mg/mL.
Although a core may be hydrophobic or hydrophilic, in many embodiments described herein, the core is substantially hydrophobic. “Hydrophobic” and “hydrophilic” are given their ordinary meaning in the art and, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, in many instances herein, are relative terms. Relative hydrophobicities and hydrophilicities of materials can be determined by measuring the contact angle of a water droplet on a planar surface of the substance to be measured, e.g., using an instrument such as a contact angle goniometer and a packed powder of the core material.
In some embodiments, the core particles described herein may be produced by nanomilling of a solid material (e.g., a compound of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′) in the presence of one or more stabilizers/surface-altering agents. Small particles of a solid material may require the presence of one or more stabilizers/surface-altering agents, particularly on the surface of the particles, in order to stabilize a suspension of particles without agglomeration or aggregation in a liquid solution. In some such embodiments, the stabilizer may act as a surface-altering agent, forming a coating on the particle.
In a wet milling process, milling can be performed in a dispersion (e.g., an aqueous dispersion) containing one or more stabilizers (e.g., a surface-altering agent), a grinding medium, a solid to be milled (e.g., a solid pharmaceutical agent), and a solvent. Any suitable amount of a stabilizer/surface-altering agent can be included in the solvent. In some embodiments, a stabilizer/surface-altering agent may be present in the solvent in an amount of at least about 0.001% (wt or % weight to volume (w:v)), at least about 0.01, at least about 0.1, at least about 0.5, at least about 1, at least about 2, at least about 3, at least about 4, at least about 5, at least about 6, at least about 7, at least about 8, at least about 10, at least about 12, at least about 15, at least about 20, at least about 40, at least about 60, or at least about 80% of the solvent. In some cases, the stabilizer may be present in the solvent in an amount of about 100% (e.g., in an instance where the stabilizer/surface-altering agent is the solvent). In other embodiments, the stabilizer may be present in the solvent in an amount of less than or equal to about 100, less than or equal to about 80, less than or equal to about 60, less than or equal to about 40, less than or equal to about 20, less than or equal to about 15, less than or equal to about 12, less than or equal to about 10, less than or equal to about 8, less than or equal to about 7%, less than or equal to about 6%, less than or equal to about 5%, less than or equal to about 4%, less than or equal to about 3%, less than or equal to about 2%, or less than or equal to about 1% of the solvent. Combinations of the above-referenced ranges are also possible (e.g., an amount of less than or equal to about 5% and at least about 1% of the solvent). Other ranges are also possible. The particular range chosen may influence factors that may affect the ability of the particles to penetrate mucus such as the stability of the coating of the stabilizer/surface-altering agent on the particle surface, the average thickness of the coating of the stabilizer/surface-altering agent on the particles, the orientation of the stabilizer/surface-altering agent on the particles, the density of the stabilizer/surface altering agent on the particles, stabilizer/drug ratio, drug concentration, the size and polydispersity of the particles formed, and the morphology of the particles formed.
The compound of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′ or a loop diuretic selected from furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, and etozolin (or salt thereof) may be present in the solvent in any suitable amount. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent (or salt thereof) is present in an amount of at least about 0.001% (wt % or % weight to volume (w:v)), at least about 0.01%, at least about 0.1%, at least about 0.5%, at least about 1%, at least about 2%, at least about 3%, at least about 4%, at least about 5%, at least about 6%, at least about 7%, at least about 8%, at least about 10%, at least about 12%, at least about 15%, at least about 20%, at least about 40%, at least about 60%, or at least about 80% of the solvent. In some cases, the pharmaceutical agent (or salt thereof) may be present in the solvent in an amount of less than or equal to about 100%, less than or equal to about 90%, less than or equal to about 80%, less than or equal to about 60%, less than or equal to about 40%, less than or equal to about 20%, less than or equal to about 15%, less than or equal to about 12%, less than or equal to about 10%, less than or equal to about 8%, less than or equal to about 7%, less than or equal to about 6%, less than or equal to about 5%, less than or equal to about 4%, less than or equal to about 3%, less than or equal to about 2%, or less than or equal to about 1% of the solvent. Combinations of the above-referenced ranges are also possible (e.g., an amount of less than or equal to about 20% and at least about 1% of the solvent). In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical agent is present in the above ranges but in w:v.
The ratio of stabilizer/surface-altering agent to pharmaceutical agent (or salt thereof) in a solvent may also vary. In some embodiments, the ratio of stabilizer/surface-altering agent to pharmaceutical agent (or salt thereof) may be at least 0.001:1 (weight ratio, molar ratio, or w:v ratio), at least 0.01:1, at least 0.01:1, at least 1:1, at least 2:1, at least 3:1, at least 5:1, at least 10:1, at least 25:1, at least 50:1, at least 100:1, or at least 500:1. In some cases, the ratio of stabilizer/surface-altering agent to pharmaceutical agent (or salt thereof) may be less than or equal to 1000:1 (weight ratio or molar ratio), less than or equal to 500:1, less than or equal to 100:1, less than or equal to 75:1, less than or equal to 50:1, less than or equal to 25:1, less than or equal to 10:1, less than or equal to 5:1, less than or equal to 3:1, less than or equal to 2:1, less than or equal to 1:1, or less than or equal to 0.1:1.
Combinations of the above-referenced ranges are possible (e.g., a ratio of at least 5:1 and less than or equal to 50:1). Other ranges are also possible.
Stabilizers/surface-altering agents may be, for example, polymers or surfactants. Examples of polymers are those suitable for use in coatings, as described in more detail below. Non-limiting examples of surfactants include L-a-phosphatidylcholine (PC), 1,2-dipalmitoylphosphatidycholine (DPPC), oleic acid, sorbitan trioleate, sorbitan mono-oleate, sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, natural lecithin, oleyl polyoxyethylene ether, stearyl polyoxyethylene ether, lauryl polyoxyethylene ether, block copolymers of oxyethylene and oxypropylene, synthetic lecithin, diethylene glycol dioleate, tetrahydrofurfuryl oleate, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, glyceryl monooleate, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl monoricinoleate, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol 400, cetyl pyridinium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, olive oil, glyceryl monolaurate, corn oil, cotton seed oil, and sunflower seed oil. Derivatives of the above-noted compounds are also possible. Combinations of the above-noted compounds and others described herein may also be used as surface-altering agents in the inventive particles. As described herein, in some embodiments a surface-altering agent may act as a stabilizer, a surfactant, and/or an emulsifier. In some embodiments, the surface altering agent may aid particle transport in mucus.
It should be appreciated that while in some embodiments the stabilizer used for milling forms a coating on a particle surface, which coating renders particle mucus penetrating, in other embodiments, the stabilizer may be exchanged with one or more other surface-altering agents after the particle has been formed. For example, in one set of methods, a first stabilizer/surface-altering agent may be used during a milling process and may coat a surface of a core particle, and then all or portions of the first stabilizer/surface-altering agent may be exchanged with a second stabilizer/surface-altering agent to coat all or portions of the core particle surface. In some cases, the second stabilizer/surface-altering agent may render the particle mucus penetrating more than the first stabilizer/surface-altering agent. In some embodiments, a core particle having a coating including multiple surface-altering agents may be formed.
In other embodiments, core particles may be formed by a precipitation technique. Precipitation techniques (e.g., microprecipitation techniques, nanoprecipitation techniques) may involve forming a first solution comprising a compound of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′ or a loop diuretic selected from furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, and etozolin and a solvent, wherein the material is substantially soluble in the solvent. The solution may be added to a second solution comprising another solvent in which the material is substantially insoluble, thereby forming a plurality of particles comprising the material. In some cases, one or more surface-altering agents, surfactants, materials, and/or bioactive agents may be present in the first and/or second solutions. A coating may be formed during the process of precipitating the core (e.g., the precipitating and coating steps may be performed substantially simultaneously). In other embodiments, the particles are first formed using a precipitation technique, following by coating of the particles with a surface-altering agent.
In some embodiments, a precipitation technique may be used to form particles (e.g., nanocrystals) of a salt of a compound of Formula I, Formula II, Formula III, Formula IV, Formula IV′, Formula V, Formula VI, Formula VII, Formula VIII, Formula VIII′, Formula IX, Formula X, Formula XI, Formula XII, or Formula XII′ or a loop diuretic selected from furosemide, bumetanide, piretanide, and etozolin. Generally, a precipitation technique involves dissolving the material to be used as the core in a solvent, which is then added to a miscible anti-solvent with or without excipients to form the core particle. This technique may be useful for preparing particles of pharmaceutical agents that are soluble in aqueous solutions (e.g., agents having a relatively high aqueous solubility). In some embodiments, pharmaceutical agents having one or more charged or ionizable groups can interact with a counter ion (e.g., a cation or an anion) to form a salt complex.
As described herein, in some embodiments, a method of forming a core particle involves choosing a stabilizer that is suitable for both nanomilling and for forming a coating on the particle and rendering the particle mucus penetrating. For example, as described in more detail below, it has been demonstrated that 200-500 nm nanoparticles of a model compound pyrene produced by nanomilling of pyrene in the presence of Pluronic® F127 resulted in particles that can penetrate physiological mucus samples at the same rate as well-established polymer-based MPP. Interestingly, it was observed that only a handful of stabilizers/surface-altering agents tested fit the criteria of being suitable for both nanomilling and for forming a coating on the particle that renders the particle mucus penetrating, as described in more detail below.

In some cases, the particle includes a hydrophobic material and at least one bioactive agent. In certain embodiments, the hydrophobic material is used instead of a polymer. In other embodiments, the hydrophobic material is used in addition to a polymer.
An active compound as described herein can be physically mixed in the polymeric material, including in an interpenetrating polymer network or can be covalently bound to the polymeric material
Linear, non-linear or linear multiblock polymers or copolymers can be used to form nanoparticles, microparticles, and implants (e.g., rods, discs, wafers, etc.) useful for the delivery to the eye. The polymers can contain one or more hydrophobic polymer segments and one or more hydrophilic polymer segments covalently connected through a linear link or multivalent branch point to form a non-linear multiblock copolymer containing at least three polymeric segments. The polymer can be a conjugate further containing one or more therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic agents covalently attached to the one or more polymer segments. By employing a polymer-drug conjugate, particles can be formed with more controlled drug loading and drug release profiles. In addition, the solubility of the conjugate can be controlled so as to minimize soluble drug concentration and, therefore, toxicity.
The one or more hydrophobic polymer segments, independently, can be any biocompatible hydrophobic polymer or copolymer. In some cases, the one or more hydrophobic polymer segments are also biodegradable. Examples of suitable hydrophobic polymers include polyesters such as polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, or polycaprolactone, polyanhydrides, such as polysebacic anhydride, and copolymers thereof. In certain embodiments, the hydrophobic polymer is a polyanhydride, such as polysebacic anhydride or a copolymer thereof. The one or more hydrophilic polymer segments can be any hydrophilic, biocompatible, suitably non-toxic polymer or copolymer. The hydrophilic polymer segment can be, for example, a poly(alkylene glycol), a polysaccharide, poly(vinyl alcohol), polypyrrolidone, a polyoxyethylene block copolymer (PLURONIC) or a copolymers thereof. In preferred embodiments, the one or more hydrophilic polymer segments are, or are composed of, polyethylene glycol (PEG).
WO 2016/100380A1 and WO 2016/100392 A1 describe certain Sunitinib delivery systems, which can also be used in the present invention to deliver the IOP lowering agents provided by the current invention, and as described further herein. For example, a process similar to that used in WO 2016/100380A1 and WO 2016/100392 A1 to prepare a polymeric Sunitinib drug formulation can be utilized: (i) dissolve or disperse the IOP lowering agent or its salt in an organic solvent; (ii) mix the solution/dispersion of step (i) with a polymer solution that has a viscosity of at least about 300 cPs (or perhaps at least about 350, 400, 500, 600, 700 or 800 or more cPs); (iii) mix the drug polymer solution/dispersion of step (ii) with an aqueous solution optionally with a surfactant or emulsifier, to form a solvent-laden encapsulated microparticle; and (iv) isolate the microparticles. Drug loading is also significantly affected by the method of making and the solvent used. For example, S/O/W single emulsion method will yield a higher loading than O/W single emulsion method even without control the acid value. In addition, W/O/W double emulsions have been shown to significantly improve drug loading of less hydrophobic salt forms over single O/W emulsions. The ratio of continuous phase to dispersed phase can also significantly alter the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading by modulation of the rate of particle solidification. The rate of polymer solidification with the evaporation of solvent affects the degree of porosity within microparticles. A large CP:DP ratio results in faster polymer precipitation, less porosity, and higher encapsulation efficiency and drug loading. However, decreasing the rate of evaporation of the solvent during particle preparation can also lead to improvements in drug loading of highly polar compounds. As the organic phase evaporates, highly polar compounds within the organic phase is driven to the surface of the particles resulting in poor encapsulation and drug loading. By decreasing the rate of solvent evaporation by decreasing the temperature or rate of stirring, encapsulation efficiency and % drug loading can be increased for highly polar compounds. These technologies can be used by one of skill in the art to deliver any of the active compounds as described generally in this specification.
U.S. Pat. No. 8,889,193 and PCT/US2011/026321 disclose, for example, a method for treating an eye disorder in a patient in need thereof, comprising administering into the eye, for example, by intravitreal injection into the vitreous chamber of the eye, an effective amount of a drug delivery system which comprises: (i) a microparticle including a core which includes the biodegradable polymer polylactide-co-glycolide; (ii) a coating associated with the core which is non-covalently associated with the microparticle particle; wherein the coating molecule has a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region, and wherein the hydrophilic region is polyethylene glycol; and (iii) a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic agent, wherein the drug delivery system provides sustained release of the therapeutic agent into the vitreous chamber over a period of time of at least three months; and wherein the vitreous chamber of the eye exhibits at least 10% less inflammation or intraocular pressure than if the particle were uncoated. In certain embodiments, the microparticle can be about 50 or 30 microns or less. The delivery system described in U.S. Pat. No. 8,889,193 and PCT/US2011/026321 can be used to deliver any of the active agents described herein.
In some embodiments, the drug delivery systems contain a particle with a coating on the surface, wherein the coating molecules have hydrophilic regions and, optionally, hydrophobic regions,
The drug delivery system can include a coating. The coating can be disposed on the surface of the particle, for example by bonding, adsorption or by complexation. The coating can also be intermingled or dispersed within the particle as well as disposed on the surface of the particle.
The homogeneous or heterogenous polymer or polymeric coating can be, for example, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), or similar substances. The coating can be, for example, vitamin E-PEG 1k or vitamin E-PEG 5k or the like. Vitamin E-PEG 5k can help present a dense coating of PEG on the surface of a particle. The coating can also include nonionic surfactants such as those composed of polyalkylene oxide, e.g., polyoxyethylene (PEO), also referred to herein as polyethylene glycol; or polyoxypropylene (PPO), also referred to herein as polypropylene glycol (PPG), and can include a copolymer of more than one alkylene oxide.
The polymer or copolymer can be, for example, a random copolymer, an alternating copolymer, a block copolymer or graft copolymer.
In some embodiments, the coating can include a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer, e.g., block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. (i.e., poloxamers). Examples of poloxamers suitable for use in the present invention include, for example, poloxamers 188, 237, 338 and 407. These poloxamers are available under the trade name Pluronic® (available from BASF, Mount Olive, N.J.) and correspond to Pluronic® F-68, F-87, F-108 and F-127, respectively. Poloxamer 188 (corresponding to Pluronic® F-68) is a block copolymer with an average molecular mass of about 7,000 to about 10,000 Da, or about 8,000 to about 9,000 Da, or about 8,400 Da. Poloxamer 237 (corresponding to Pluronic® F-87) is a block copolymer with an average molecular mass of about 6,000 to about 9,000 Da, or about 6,500 to about 8,000 Da, or about 7,7000 Da. Poloxamer 338 (corresponding to Pluronic® F-108) is a block copolymer with an average molecular mass of about 12,000 to about 18,000 Da, or about 13,000 to about 15,000 Da, or about 14,600 Da. Poloxamer 407 (corresponding to Pluronic® F-127) is a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene triblock copolymer in a ratio of between about E101 P56E101 to about E106P70E106, or about E101 P56E101, or about E106P70E106, with an average molecular mass of about 10,000 to about 15,000 Da, or about 12,000 to about 14,000 Da, or about 12,000 to about 13,000 Da, or about 12,600 Da. For example, the NF forms of poloxamers or Pluronic® polymers can be used.
In some embodiments, the polymer can be, for example Pluronic® P103 or Pluronic® P105. Pluronic® P103 is a block copolymer with an average molecular mass of about 3,000 Da to about 6,000 Da, or about 4,000 Da to about 6,000 Da, or about 4,950 Da. Pluronic® P105 is a block copolymer with an average molecular mass of about 5,000 Da to about 8,000 Da, or about 6,000 Da to about 7,000 Da, or about 6,500 Da.
In some embodiments, the polymer can have an average molecular weight of about 9,000 Da or greater, about 10,000 Da or greater, about 11,000 Da or greater or about 12,000 Da or greater. In exemplary embodiments, the polymer can have an average molecular weight of from about 10,000 to about 15,000 Da, or about 12,000 to about 14,000 Da, or about 12,000 to about 13,000 Da, or about 12,600 Da. In some embodiments, the polymer can be selected from Pluronic® P103, P105, F-68, F-87, F-108 and F-127, from Pluronic® P103, P105, F-87, F-108 and F-127, or from Pluronic® P103, P105, F-108 and F-127, or from Pluronic® P103, P105 and F-127. In some embodiments, the polymer can be Pluronic® F-127. In representative embodiments, the polymer is associated with the particles. For example, the polymer can be covalently attached to the particles. In representative embodiments, the polymer comprises polyethylene glycol, which is covalently attached to a selected polymer, yielding what is commonly referred to as a PEGylated particle.
In some embodiments, a coating is non-covalently associated with a core particle. This association can be held together by any force or mechanism of molecular interaction that permits two substances to remain in substantially the same positions relative to each other, including intermolecular forces, dipole-dipole interactions, van der Waals forces, hydrophobic interactions, electrostatic interactions and the like. In some embodiments, the coating is adsorbed onto the particle. According to representative embodiments, a non-covalently bound coating can be comprised of portions or segments that promote association with the particle, for example by electrostatic or van der Waals forces. In some embodiments, the interaction is between a hydrophobic portion of the coating and the particle. Embodiments include particle coating combinations which, however attached to the particle, present a hydrophilic region, e.g. a PEG rich region, to the environment around the particle coating combination. The particle coating combination can provide both a hydrophilic surface and an uncharged or substantially neutrally-charged surface, which can be biologically inert.
Suitable polymers for use according to the compositions and methods disclosed herein can be made up of molecules having hydrophobic regions as well as hydrophilic regions. Without wishing to be bound by any particular theory, when used as a coating, it is believed that the hydrophobic regions of the molecules are able to form adsorptive interactions with the surface of the particle, and thus maintain a non-covalent association with it, while the hydrophilic regions orient toward the surrounding, frequently aqueous, environment. In some embodiments the hydrophilic regions are characterized in that they avoid or minimize adhesive interactions with substances in the surrounding environment. Suitable hydrophobic regions in a coatings can include, for example, PPO, vitamin E and the like, either alone or in combination with each other or with other substances. Suitable hydrophilic regions in the coatings can include, for example, PEG, heparin, polymers that form hydrogels and the like, alone or in combination with each other or with other substances.

In some embodiments, the coatings can have PPO segments with molecular weights of from about 1.8 kDa to about 10 kDa, or from about 2 kDa to about 5 kDa, or from about 2.5 kDa to about 4.5 kDa, or from about 2.5 kDa to about 3.5 kDa, or from about 3 kDa to about 6 kDa, or from about 3 kDa to about 5 kDa, or from about 4 kDa to about 6 kDa, or from about 4 kDa to about 7 kDa. In some embodiments, at least about 10%, or at least about 25%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 75%, or at least about 90%, or at least about 95%, or at least about 99% or more of the hydrophobic regions in these coatings have molecular weights within these ranges.

In one aspect of the present invention, an effective amount of an active compound as described herein is incorporated into a nanoparticle, e.g. for convenience of delivery and/or extended release delivery. The use of materials in nanoscale provides one the ability to modify fundamental physical properties such as solubility, diffusivity, blood circulation half-life, drug release characteristics, and/or immunogenicity. These nanoscale agents may provide more effective and/or more convenient routes of administration, lower therapeutic toxicity, extend the product life cycle, and ultimately reduce health-care costs. As therapeutic delivery systems, nanoparticles can allow targeted delivery and controlled release.
In another aspect of the present invention, the nanoparticle or microparticle is coated with a surface agent that facilitates passage of the particle through mucus. Said nanoparticles and microparticles have a higher concentration of surface agent than has been previously achieved, leading to the unexpected property of extremely fast diffusion through mucus. The present invention further comprises a method of producing said particles. The present invention further comprises methods of using said particles to treat a patient.
A number of companies have developed microparticles for treatment of eye disorders that can be used in conjunction with the present invention. For example, Allergan has disclosed a biodegradable microsphere to deliver a therapeutic agent that is formulated in a high viscosity carrier suitable for intraocular injection or to treat a non-ocular disorder (see U.S. publication 2010/0074957 and U.S. publication 2015/0147406). In one embodiment, the '957 application describes a biocompatible, intraocular drug delivery system that includes a plurality of biodegradable microspheres, a therapeutic agent, and a viscous carrier, wherein the carrier has a viscosity of at least about 10 cps at a shear rate of 0.1/second at 25° C. Allergan has also disclosed a composite drug delivery material that can be injected into the eye of a patient that includes a plurality of microparticles dispersed in a media, wherein the microparticles contain a drug and a biodegradable or bioerodible coating and the media includes the drug dispersed in a depot-forming material, wherein the media composition may gel or solidify on injection into the eye (see WO 2013/112434 A1, claiming priority to Jan. 23, 2012). Allergan states that this invention can be used to provide a depot means to implant a solid sustained drug delivery system into the eye without an incision. In general, the depot on injection transforms to a material that has a viscosity that may be difficult or impossible to administer by injection. In addition, Allergan has disclosed biodegradable microspheres between 40 and 200 μm in diameter, with a mean diameter between 60 and 150 μm that are effectively retained in the anterior chamber of the eye without producing hyperemia, see, US 2014/0294986. The microspheres contain a drug effective for an ocular condition with greater than seven day release following administration to the anterior chamber of the eye. The administration of these large particles is intended to overcome the disadvantages of injecting 1-30 μm particles which are generally poorly tolerated.
In another embodiment any of the above delivery systems can be used to facilitate or enhance delivery through mucus.
Common techniques for preparing particles include, but are not limited to, solvent evaporation, solvent removal, spray drying, phase inversion, coacervation, and low temperature casting. Suitable methods of particle formulation are briefly described below. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, including pH modifying agents, disintegrants, preservatives, and antioxidants, can optionally be incorporated into the particles during particle formation.
In this method, the drug (or polymer matrix and one or more Drugs) is dissolved in a volatile organic solvent, such as methylene chloride. The organic solution containing the drug is then suspended in an aqueous solution that contains a surface active agent such as poly(vinyl alcohol). The resulting emulsion is stirred until most of the organic solvent evaporated, leaving solid nanoparticles. The resulting nanoparticles are washed with water and dried overnight in a lyophilizer. Nanoparticles with different sizes and morphologies can be obtained by this method.
Drugs which contain labile polymers, such as certain polyanhydrides, may degrade during the fabrication process due to the presence of water. For these polymers, the following two methods, which are performed in completely anhydrous organic solvents, can be used.
Solvent removal can also be used to prepare particles from drugs that are hydrolytically unstable. In this method, the drug (or polymer matrix and one or more Drugs) is dispersed or dissolved in a volatile organic solvent such as methylene chloride. This mixture is then suspended by stirring in an organic oil (such as silicon oil) to form an emulsion. Solid particles form from the emulsion, which can subsequently be isolated from the supernatant. The external morphology of spheres produced with this technique is highly dependent on the identity of the drug.
In one embodiment a compound of the present invention is administered to a patient in need thereof as particles formed by solvent removal. In another embodiment the present invention provides particles formed by solvent removal comprising a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as defined herein. In another embodiment the particles formed by solvent removal comprise a compound of the present invention and an additional therapeutic agent. In a further embodiment the particles formed by solvent removal comprise a compound of the present invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment any of the described particles formed by solvent removal can be formulated into a tablet and then coated to form a coated tablet. In an alternative embodiment the particles formed by solvent removal are formulated into a tablet but the tablet is uncoated.
In this method, the drug (or polymer matrix and one or more Drugs) is dissolved in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride. The solution is pumped through a micronizing nozzle driven by a flow of compressed gas, and the resulting aerosol is suspended in a heated cyclone of air, allowing the solvent to evaporate from the micro droplets, forming particles. Particles ranging between 0.1-10 microns can be obtained using this method.
In one embodiment a compound of the present invention is administered to a patient in need thereof as a spray dried dispersion (SDD). In another embodiment the present invention provides a spray dried dispersion (SDD) comprising a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as defined herein. In another embodiment the SDD comprises a compound of the present invention and an additional therapeutic agent. In a further embodiment the SDD comprises a compound of the present invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment any of the described spray dried dispersions can be coated to form a coated tablet. In an alternative embodiment the spray dried dispersion is formulated into a tablet but is uncoated.
Particles can be formed from drugs using a phase inversion method. In this method, the drug (or polymer matrix and one or more Drugs) is dissolved in a “good” solvent, and the solution is poured into a strong non solvent for the drug to spontaneously produce, under favorable conditions, microparticles or nanoparticles. The method can be used to produce nanoparticles in a wide range of sizes, including, for example, about 100 nanometers to about 10 microns, typically possessing a narrow particle size distribution.
In one embodiment a compound of the present invention is administered to a patient in need thereof as particles formed by phase inversion. In another embodiment the present invention provides particles formed by phase inversion comprising a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as defined herein. In another embodiment the particles formed by phase inversion comprise a compound of the present invention and an additional therapeutic agent. In a further embodiment the particles formed by phase inversion comprise a compound of the present invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment any of the described particles formed by phase inversion can be formulated into a tablet and then coated to form a coated tablet. In an alternative embodiment the particles formed by phase inversion are formulated into a tablet but the tablet is uncoated.
Techniques for particle formation using coacervation are known in the art, for example, in GB-B-929 406; GB-B-929 40 1; and U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,266,987, 4,794,000, and 4,460,563. Coacervation involves the separation of a drug (or polymer matrix and one or more Drugs) solution into two immiscible liquid phases. One phase is a dense coacervate phase, which contains a high concentration of the drug, while the second phase contains a low concentration of the drug. Within the dense coacervate phase, the drug forms nanoscale or microscale droplets, which harden into particles. Coacervation may be induced by a temperature change, addition of a non-solvent or addition of a micro-salt (simple coacervation), or by the addition of another polymer thereby forming an interpolymer complex (complex coacervation).
In one embodiment a compound of the present invention is administered to a patient in need thereof as particles formed by coacervation. In another embodiment the present invention provides particles formed by coacervation comprising a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as defined herein. In another embodiment the particles formed by coacervation comprise a compound of the present invention and an additional therapeutic agent. In a further embodiment the particles formed by coacervation comprise a compound of the present invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment any of the described particles formed by coacervation can be formulated into a tablet and then coated to form a coated tablet. In an alternative embodiment the particles formed by coacervation are formulated into a tablet but the tablet is uncoated.
Methods for very low temperature casting of controlled release microspheres are described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,019,400 to Gombotz et al. In this method, the drug (or polymer matrix and Sunitinib) is dissolved in a solvent. The mixture is then atomized into a vessel containing a liquid non-solvent at a temperature below the freezing point of the drug solution which freezes the drug droplets. As the droplets and non-solvent for the drug are warmed, the solvent in the droplets thaws and is extracted into the non-solvent, hardening the microspheres.
In one embodiment a compound of the present invention is administered to a patient in need thereof as particles formed by low temperature casting. In another embodiment the present invention provides particles formed by low temperature casting comprising a compound of the present invention and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as defined herein. In another embodiment the particles formed by low temperature casting comprise a compound of the present invention and an additional therapeutic agent. In a further embodiment the particles formed by low temperature casting comprise a compound of the present invention, an additional therapeutic agent, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In another embodiment any of the described particles formed by low temperature casting can be formulated into a tablet and then coated to form a coated tablet. In an alternative embodiment the particles formed by low temperature casting are formulated into a tablet but the tablet is uncoated.
III. Controlled Release of Therapeutic Agent
The rate of release of the therapeutic agent can be related to the concentration of therapeutic agent dissolved in polymeric material. In many embodiments, the polymeric composition includes non-therapeutic agents that are selected to provide a desired solubility of the therapeutic agent. The selection of polymer can be made to provide the desired solubility of the therapeutic agent in the matrix, for example, a hydrogel may promote solubility of hydrophilic material. In some embodiments, functional groups can be added to the polymer to increase the desired solubility of the therapeutic agent in the matrix. In some embodiments, additives may be used to control the release kinetics of therapeutic agent, for example, the additives may be used to control the concentration of therapeutic agent by increasing or decreasing solubility of the therapeutic agent in the polymer so as to control the release kinetics of the therapeutic agent. The solubility may be controlled by including appropriate molecules and/or substances that increase and/or decrease the solubility of the dissolved from of the therapeutic agent to the matrix. The solubility of the therapeutic agent may be related to the hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic properties of the matrix and therapeutic agent. Oils and hydrophobic molecules and can be added to the polymer to increase the solubility of hydrophobic treatment agent in the matrix.
Instead of or in addition to controlling the rate of migration based on the concentration of therapeutic agent dissolved in the matrix, the surface area of the polymeric composition can be controlled to attain the desired rate of drug migration out of the composition. For example, a larger exposed surface area will increase the rate of migration of the active agent to the surface, and a smaller exposed surface area will decrease the rate of migration of the active agent to the surface. The exposed surface area can be increased in any number of ways, for example, by any of castellation of the exposed surface, a porous surface having exposed channels connected with the tear or tear film, indentation of the exposed surface, protrusion of the exposed surface. The exposed surface can be made porous by the addition of salts that dissolve and leave a porous cavity once the salt dissolves. In the present invention, these trends can be used to decrease the release rate of the active material from the polymeric composition by avoiding these paths to quicker release. For example, the surface area can be minimized, or channels avoided.
Further, an implant may be used that includes the ability to release two or more drugs in combination, for example, the structure disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,654 (Shell), for example, in the case of glaucoma treatment, it may be desirable to treat a patient with multiple prostaglandins or a prostaglandin and a cholinergic agent or an adrenergic antagonist (beta blocker), for example, Alphagan (Allegan, Irvine, Calif., USA), or a prostaglandin and a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor.
In addition, drug impregnated meshes may be used, for example, those disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2002/0055701 or layering of biostable polymers as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0129731. Certain polymer processes may be used to incorporate drug into the devices, as described herein, for example, so-called “self-delivering drugs” or Polymer Drugs (Polymerix Corporation, Piscataway, N.J., USA) are designed to degrade only into therapeutically useful compounds and physiologically inert linker molecules, further detailed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0048121 (East), hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Such delivery polymers may be employed in the devices, as described herein, to provide a release rate that is equal to the rate of polymer erosion and degradation and is constant throughout the course of therapy. Such delivery polymers may be used as device coatings or in the form of microspheres for a drug depot injectable (for example, a reservoir described herein). A further polymer delivery technology may also be adapted to the devices, as described herein, for example, that described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0170685 (Carpenter), and technologies available from Medivas (San Diego, Calif., USA).
All nonaqueous reactions were performed under an atmosphere of dry argon or nitrogen gas using anhydrous solvents. The progress of reactions and the purity of target compounds were determined using one of the two liquid chromatography (LC) methods listed below. The structure of starting materials, intermediates, and final products was confirmed by standard analytical techniques, including NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

HPLC Method for Analysis of Furosemide, Bumetanide and their PLA Conjugates
Chromatographic separation of prodrug, intermediates and parent drug was achieved using an Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC equipped with a diode array and a multiple wavelength detector with an XTERRA C8 column (5 μm, 4.6 mm×150 mm) as the stationary phase. The mobile phase consisted of an acetonitrile/water gradient as illustrated in Table 1. The mobile phase was stabilized with 0.1% formic acid. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, the detection wavelength was 230 nm, and the injection volume was 10 μL. Column temperature was 25° C.
For each test, approximately 5-10 mg was transferred to a 10 mL glass vial. Aqueous or organic solvent was added to each vial to achieve an overall concentration of 50 mg/mL. After vortexing aggressively for 2-3 minutes and sonicating in a bath sonicator for 5 minutes, undissolved drug was spun down at 1200×g for 5 minutes to generate a pellet. The supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.2 μm nylon syringe filter into HPLC vials for drug content analysis. Drug concentration was determined by comparing against a standard calibration curve.
Microencapsulation techniques use utilize organic solvent to dissolve the polymer and drug. Thus, it is necessary to determine the drug solubility which will inform on the feasibility of microencapsulation. As shown in Table 2, native drug and prodrugs of bumetanide and furosemide are relatively insoluble in water (<0.1 mg/mL) and highly soluble in DMSO and dichloromethane.
Prodrugs of bumetanide and furosemide were solubilized with the addition of 25% (v/v) DMSO and subsequently diluted with water to a concentration of 0.1 mg/mL. The samples were incubated at 37° C. and at various time points, aliquots were collected, filtered through a 0.2 μm nylon syringe filter, and analyzed by RP-HPLC.

Microencapsulation of prodrugs of bumetanide and furosemide was achieved using an oil-in-water (o/w) emulsion/solvent evaporation method. The polymer was initially dissolved in a water immiscible organic solvent to which dissolved drug was added. Briefly, the polymers PLGA (LA:GA=85:15, 5A) or PLA (140-200 mg/mL) and PLGA50/50-PEG5k (1.4-2 mg/mL) was dissolved in 2 mL of methylene chloride. The prodrug (15% theoretical loading) was dissolved in 1 mL of DMSO after vigorous vortexing and ultrasonication in a bath sonicator and added to the polymer solution. The aqueous phase consisted of 200 mL of PBS or water with 1% PVA as a surfactant to stabilize the emulsification. The dispersed phase was rapidly added to the aqueous phase and allowed to mix at 3400 rpms for 1 minute to generate an oil-in-water emulsion and disperse the materials as droplets. The volatile organic solution was allowed to evaporate under constant stirring at 500 rpms for 2 hours at room temperature. The particle suspension was allowed to settle for 30 minutes, after which the solution was decanted and remaining particles were collected, suspended in distilled deionized water, and centrifuged at 1000 rpms for 5 minutes. This process was repeated 3 times to remove any residual solvent. The pellet was collected and lyophilized overnight.
Particle size and size distribution was determined using a Beckman Coulter Multsizer IV with a 100 μm diameter aperture based on a sample size of at least 50,000 counts. Particle size is expressed as volume-weighted mean diameters. Briefly, 2-5 mg of particles were suspended in 1 mL of double distilled water and added to a beaker containing 100 mL of ISOTON II solution. Measurements were obtained once the coincidence of particles reached 6-10%.
To determine the % drug loading (DL), 10 mg of particles was weighed into a glass scintillation vial and dissolved with 10 mL of MeCN:water (1:1, v/v). The solution was filtered through a 0.2 μm nylon syringe filter and the drug content was determined by RP-HPLC referenced against a standard calibration curve.
Microparticles ranged in size between 23-28 μm in volume weighted mean diameter. Of significance, the prodrugs of bumetanide and furosemide was significantly more amenable to microencapsulation in comparison to the free drugs. Percent drug loading of bumetanide and furosemide prodrug was approximately 3 and 9-fold higher than free drug, respectively. In addition, encapsulation efficiency was significantly higher than free drug. Encapsulation efficiency was greater than 95% for prodrugs of bumetanide and furosemide.
Particle morphology was assessed using a Nikon Eclipse TS-100 light microscope. Briefly, 3-5 mg of furosemide-ethyl PLA(n=6) (Compound 5) particles were suspended in 1 mL of water. A volume of 10 uL of the particle suspension was transferred onto a glass slide and imaged directly (
In vitro drug release kinetics was evaluated in a release medium of PBS and 1% Tween 20 (pH 7.4). Briefly, 10 mg of particles were transferred to glass scintillation vials and 4 mL of the release medium was added to suspend the particles. Samples were prepared in duplicate. The particles were mixed by gentle vortexing and incubated on an orbital shaker at 150 rpm at 37° C. At various time points, 3 mL of release media was collected and analyzed for drug content and 3 mL of fresh media was added to replace the sample that was collected. Collected release samples were frozen and stored at −80° C. until analysis for drug content. The collected samples were filtered through a 0.2 μm syringe filter and analyzed by RP-HPLC.
