The present application claims the priority to Patent Application No. 202110871277.1, entitled “PAZOPANIB ORAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF” filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Jul. 30, 2021, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to a pazopanib oral pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method therefor and use thereof.
Renal cell carcinoma, renal cancer for short, is one of the most common tumors in the urinary system, with the morbidity accounting for 2% of adult malignant tumors. In China, the morbidity of renal cell carcinoma ranks second among urinary tumors, second only to bladder cancer. With the continuous progress of diagnostic technologies, renal cancer patients have been treated earlier. The overall 5-year survival rate for renal cancer reaches 74%, but the number of advanced metastasis patients is only 12%.
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an angiogenesis factor in the tumor angiogenesis process, and is a hormone regulator for endothelial cell differentiation. The development of solid tumors is closely related to the expression of VEGF, and VEGF is a key angiogenesis-promoting factor in tumor neovascularization, is combined with VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase specifically and highly expressed on the surface of neovascular endothelial cells, activates tyrosine kinase, and thus plays a biological function. Therefore, tumor vascular targeting therapy (which means using VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors) targeting VEGF receptor tyrosine kinase has become a new approach for tumor therapy in recent years.
Pazopanib (5-[[4-[(2,3-dimethyl-2H-indazol-6-yl)methylamino]pyrimidin-2-yl]amino]-2-methylbenzenesulfonamide) is a novel oral angiogenesis inhibitor developed by GlaxoSmithKline that can interfere with neovascularization required for the survival and growth of refractory tumors, targets the vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs), and acts by inhibiting neovascularization of the blood supply to tumors. It is a drug that can treat a variety of tumors, and has shown positive results in large-scale clinical trials involving patients with soft tissue sarcoma and renal cell carcinoma. Pazopanib is a BCS II drug, belonging to insoluble hypertonic drugs. The low solubility limits its bioavailability, and in order to enable pazopanib to be quickly dissolved out, improve the bioavailability and reduce side effects, the research on a pharmaceutical composition with immediate-release property has important social and economic values.
