Many potent drugs belong to the class of compounds of N-aryl ureas or compounds of related structural types. Unfortunately, the crystalline forms of most N-aryl urea-based active agents or compounds of related structural types are characterized by poor solubility in aqueous liquids.
Drugs of low water solubility, for example those classified as “practically insoluble” or “insoluble” according to United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 24 (2000), p. 10, i.e., having a solubility of less than about 1 part per 10,000 parts water (less than about 100 μg/ml) are notoriously difficult to formulate for oral delivery. Among other problems, bioavailability of such drugs, when administered by the oral route, tends to be very low.
A specific illustrative small-molecule drug of low water solubility is the compound 1-((R)-5-tert-butyl-indan-1-yl)-3-(1H-indazol-4-yl)-urea (ABT-102), a first-in-class TRPV1 antagonist, intended for the treatment of pain. ABT-102 has a molecular weight of 348.44 g/mol and is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,015,233 and WO 2004/111009.
For a variety of reasons, such as patient compliance and taste masking, a solid dosage form is usually preferred over a liquid dosage form. In most instances, however, oral solid dosage forms of a drug provide a lower bioavailability than oral solutions of the drug.
There remains a need in the pharmaceutical art for a novel solid formulation of active agents of low water solubility such as ABT-102 that is suitable for oral administration. More particularly and without limitation, there is a need for such a formulation having at least one of the following features, advantages or benefits: acceptably high concentration of the drug; and acceptable bioavailability when administered orally.

In another aspect, the invention provides a pharmaceutical dosage form comprising a solid dispersion product comprising at least one pharmaceutically active agent, obtained by
In yet another aspect, the invention provides a process for preparing a solid dispersion product comprising at least one pharmaceutically active agent, which process comprises
The invention is particularly useful for water-insoluble or poorly water-soluble (or “hydrophobic” or “lipophilic”) compounds. Compounds are considered water-insoluble or poorly water-soluble when their solubility in water at 25° C. is less than 1 g/100 ml, especially less than 0,1 g/100 ml.
In the dosage forms of the invention, the active agent is present as a solid dispersion or, preferably, as a solid solution. The term “solid dispersion” defines a system in a solid state (as opposed to a liquid or gaseous state) comprising at least two components, wherein one component is dispersed evenly throughout the other component or components. For example, the active agent or combination of active agents is dispersed in a matrix comprised of the matrix-forming agent(s) and pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant(s). The term “solid dispersion” encompasses systems having small particles, typically of less than 1 μm in diameter, of one phase dispersed in another phase. When said dispersion of the components is such that the system is chemically and physically uniform or homogenous throughout or consists of one phase (as defined in thermodynamics), such a solid dispersion will be called a “solid solution” or a “glassy solution”. A glassy solution is a homogeneous, glassy system in which a solute is dissolved in a glassy solvent. Glassy solutions and solid solutions are preferred physical systems. These systems do not contain any significant amounts of active agents in their crystalline or microcrystalline state, as evidenced by thermal analysis (DSC) or X-ray diffraction analysis (WAXS).
In an embodiment of the invention, at least one filler is added to the liquid mixture before removing the solvent(s). It was found that incorporation of a filler into the liquid mixture before removing the solvent(s) increases the brittleness of the solid dispersion product obtained. This allows the solid dispersion product to be subjected to a direct tabletting process.
Preferably, the filler is essentially insoluble in the liquid mixture.
The choice of fillers is not particularly restricted. The filler may be suitably selected from inorganic particulate materials such as silica, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphates, titanium dioxide; natural and pre-gelatinized starches such as corn starch, cereal starch, potato starch; or the like.
However, the filler is preferably water-soluble. Useful fillers to that end may be selected from sugars such as lactose, sucrose; sugar alcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol; or sugar alcohol derivatives.
The relative amounts of active agent, pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent and pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant are chosen with the following conditions in mind: (1) Essentially all of the active agent should be dispersed evenly throughout the matrix comprised of the matrix-forming agent(s) and pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant(s). (2) The matrix should have sufficient mechanical integrity and stability; in particular, the matrix should not exhibit cold flow. Generally, the mass ratio of active agent and pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent is from 0.01:1 to 1:3, preferably 0.05:1 to 0.2:1; generally the mass ratio of active agent and pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant(s) is from 0.1:1 to 1:7, preferably 1:4 to 1:6.5.
Generally, the solid dispersion product comprises
from about 1 to 30% by weight, preferably from about 4 to 15% by weight, of said at least one pharmaceutically active agent,
from about 15 to 70% by weight, preferably from about 20 to 55% by weight, of said at least one pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent,
from about 2 to 70% by weight, preferably from about 5 to 55% by weight, of said at least one surfactant, and
from about 0 to 80% by weight, preferably from about 0 to 60% by weight, of additives such as fillers.
The matrix-forming agent may be any agent capable of embedding an active agent and/or being loaded with an active agent and stabilizing an essentially amorphous state of the active agent. Mixtures of matrix-forming agents can, of course, be used.
The pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent is suitably selected from the group consisting of cyclodextrines, pharmaceutically acceptable polymers, lipids or combinations of two or more thereof.
Cyclodextrins for the purpose of the invention are cyclic oligo- or polysaccharides, for example so-called cycloamyloses or cycloglucans, and analogous cyclic carbohydrates which are described, for example, in Angew. Chem. 92 (1980) p. 343 or F. Vögtle, Supramolekulare Chemie, 2nd Edition, (1992). Suitable and preferred are those cyclodextrins which have a structure suitable for interactions with active agent molecules, in particular in the sense of host-guest systems. Particularly suitable cyclodextrins are those consisting of 6, 7, 8 or 9 α-1,4-glycosidically linked glucose units, which are called (α-, β-, γ- or δ-cyclodextrins. Higher structures analogous to cyclodextrins and composed of a larger number of glucoses or similar sugars are also conceivable and suitable.
Also suitable as cyclodextrins are modified cyclodextrins such as, for example, products which can be prepared by reacting cyclodextrins with alkylene oxides, alkyl halides, acid chlorides, epihalohydrins, isocyanates or halogenated carboxylic acids. Thus, suitable examples are products of the reaction of cyclodextrins with alkylene oxides such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide or styrene oxide. One, more than one or all hydroxyl groups in the cyclodextrin polyethers formed in this way may be substituted. Depending on the degree of substitution or the chain lengths of the polyether units, the average molar degree of substitution, that is to say the number of moles of alkylene oxide with which one mole of cyclodextrin is reacted, is usually between 3 and 20,000, but there is in principle no upper limit. Particularly suitable examples are the products of the reaction of cyclodextrins with alkylating agents such as C1-C22-alkyl halides, for example methyl chloride, ethyl chloride, isopropyl chloride, n-butyl chloride, isobutyl chloride, benzyl chloride, lauryl chloride, stearyl chloride, methyl bromide, ethyl bromide, n-butyl bromide and dialkyl sulfates such as, for example, dimethyl sulfate or diethyl sulfate. Reaction with alkylating reagents leads to cyclodextrin ethers in which one, more than one or all hydroxyl groups are substituted by alkyl ether groups. With the cyclodextrins composed of glucose units, the average degree of etherification per glucose unit is usually in the range from 0.5 to 3, preferably in the range from 0.1 to 2.5 and particularly preferably in the range from 1 to 2. Particular preference is given to methylated, ethylated or propylated α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrins with an average degree of etherification of from 1.5 to 2.2. Also suitable are cyclodextrin esters which are obtainable by reacting cyclodextrins with acid chlorides such as carbonyl or sulfonyl chlorides.
Particularly suitable are carbonyl chlorides such as acetyl chloride, acryloyl chloride, methacryloyl chloride or benzoyl chloride.
Also suitable are polymer-modified cyclodextrins, that is to say cyclodextrins which are incorporated into the main chain of polymers and/or cyclodextrins which have been attached to side chains of polymers or are themselves side chains of polymers. Polymer-modified cyclodextrins in which the cyclodextrin units are arranged in the main chain of the polymer can be obtained, for example, by reacting cyclodextrins with or in the presence of suitable coupling or crosslinking reagents, for example as described in Helv. Chim. Acta, Vol. 48, (1965), p. 1225. Polymer-modified cyclodextrins in which the cyclodextrin units are side chain constituents or act as side chains can be obtained, for example, by cyclodextrins modified with polymerizable groups being polymerized with other comonomers, for example by polymerizing cyclodextrin (meth)acrylates in the presence of other ethylenically unsaturated monomers or by free-radical grafting of cyclodextrin (meth)acrylates onto polymers with free hydroxyl groups such as, for example, polyvinyl alcohol. Another possibility for preparing polymer-modified cyclodextrins with the cyclodextrin units on side groups or as side groups of polymers is to react cyclodextrins, deprotonated cyclodextrins or their alkali metal salts with polymers which have complementary reactive groups such as, for example, anhydride, isocyanate, acid halide or epoxy groups or halogens.
Preferred cyclodextrines are hydroxyalkyl-cyclodextrines, such as hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin.
Suitable lipids may be selected from waxes, tri-, di-, and monoglycerides and phospholipids.
The preferred matrix-forming agents are pharmaceutically acceptable polymers.
The pharmaceutically acceptable polymers may be selected from water-soluble polymers, water-dispersible polymers or water-swellable polymers or any mixture thereof. Polymers are considered water-soluble if they form a clear homogeneous solution in water. When dissolved at 20° C. in an aqueous solution at 2% (w/v), the water-soluble polymer preferably has an apparent viscosity of 1 to 5000 mPa·s, more preferably of 1 to 700 mPa·s, and most preferably of 5 to 100 mPa·s. Water-dispersible polymers are those that, when contacted with water, form colloidal dispersions rather than a clear solution. Upon contact with water or aqueous solutions, water-swellable polymers typically form a rubbery gel. Water-soluble polymers are preferred.
Preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable polymer employed in the invention has a Tg of at least 40° C., preferably at least +50° C., most preferably from 80° to 180.° C. “Tg” means glass transition temperature. Methods for determining Tg values of the organic polymers are described in “Introduction to Physical Polymer Science”, 2nd Edition by L. H. Sperling, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1992. The Tg value can be calculated as the weighted sum of the Tg values for homopolymers derived from each of the individual monomers, i, that make up the polymer: Tg=ΣWiXi where W is the weight percent of monomer i in the organic polymer, and X is the Tg value for the homopolymer derived from monomer i. Tg values for the homopolymers may be taken from “Polymer Handbook”, 2nd Edition by J. Brandrup and E. H. Immergut, Editors, published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1975.
Various additives contained in the solid dispersion product or even the active ingredient(s) itself may exert a plasticizing effect on the polymer and thus depress the Tg of the polymer such that the final solid dispersion product has a somewhat lower Tg than the starting polymer used for its preparation. In general, the final solid dispersion product has a Tg of 10° C. or higher, preferably 15° C. or higher, more preferably 20° C. or higher and most preferred 30° C. or higher.
For example, preferred pharmaceutically acceptable polymers can be selected from the group comprising

polyvinyl alcohol,
oligo- and polysaccharides such as carrageenans, galactomannans and xanthan gum, or mixtures of one or more thereof.
Among these, homopolymers or copolymers of N-vinyl pyrrolidone, in particular a copolymer of N-vinyl pyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, are preferred. A particularly preferred polymer is a copolymer of 60% by weight of the copolymer, N-vinyl pyrrolidone and 40% by weight of the copolymer, vinyl acetate. Different grades of commercially available N-vinyl pyrrolidone homopolymers (also referred to as polyvinylpyrrolidone or PVP) are PVP K-12, PVP K-15, PVP K-17, PVP K-20, PVP K-30, PVP K-60, PVP K-90 and PVP K-120. The K-value referred to in this nomenclature is calculated by Fikentscher's formula from the viscosity of the PVP in aqueous solution, relative to that of water. All of these may suitably be used, with PVP K-12, PVP K-15, PVP K-17, PVP K-20, and PVP K-30 being especially preferred.
A further polymer which can be suitably used is Kollidon® SR (available from BASF SE, Ludwigshafen, Germany) which comprises a mixture of PVP and polyvinylacetate.
The term “pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant” as used herein refers to a pharmaceutically acceptable non-ionic surfactant. The surfactant may effectuate an instantaneous emulsification of the active agent released from the dosage form and/or prevent precipitation of the active ingredient in the aqueous fluids of the gastrointestinal tract. A single surfactant as well as combinations of surfactants may be used. According to an embodiment of the invention, the solid dispersion product comprises a combination of two or more pharmaceutically acceptable surfactants.
Preferred surfactants are selected from sorbitan fatty acid esters, polyalkoxylated fatty acid esters such as, for example, polyalkoxylated glycerides, polyalkoxylated sorbitan fatty acid esters or fatty acid esters of polyalkylene glycols, polyalkoxylated ethers of fatty alcohols, tocopheryl compounds or mixtures of two or more thereof. A fatty acid chain in these compounds ordinarily comprises from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. The polyalkylene oxide blocks comprise on average from 4 to 50 alkylene oxide units, preferably ethylene oxide units, per molecule.
Suitable sorbitan fatty acid esters are sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitan monopalmitate, sorbitan monostearate (Span® 60), sorbitan monooleate (Span® 80), sorbitan tristearate, sorbitan trioleate, sorbitan monostearate, sorbitan monolaurate or sorbitan monooleate.

Suitable polyalkoxylated glycerides are obtained for example by alkoxylation of natural or hydrogenated glycerides or by transesterification of natural or hydrogenated glycerides with polyalkylene glycols. Commercially available examples are polyoxyethylene glycerol ricinoleate 35, polyoxyethylene glycerol trihydroxystearate 40 (Cremophor® RH40, BASF SE) and polyalkoxylated glycerides like those obtainable under the proprietary names Gelucire® and Labrafil® from Gattefosse, e.g. Gelucire® 44/14 (lauroyl macrogol 32 glycerides prepared by transesterification of hydrogenated palm kernel oil with PEG 1500), Gelucire® 50/13 (stearoyl macrogol 32 glycerides, prepared by transesterification of hydrogenated palm oil with PEG 1500) or Labrafil M1944 CS (oleoyl macrogol 6 glycerides prepared by transesterification of apricot kernel oil with PEG 300).
A suitable fatty acid ester of polyalkylene glycols is, for example, PEG 660 hydroxy-stearic acid (polyglycol ester of 12-hydroxystearic acid (70 mol %) with 30 mol % ethylene glycol).
Suitable polyalkoxylated ethers of fatty alcohols are, for example, PEG (2) stearyl ether (Brij® 72), macrogol 6 cetylstearyl ether or macrogol 25 cetylstearyl ether.
In general, the tocopheryl compound corresponds to the formula below
wherein Z is a linking group, R1 and R2 are, independently of one another, hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl and n is an integer from 5 to 100, preferably 10 to 50. Typically, Z is the residue of an aliphatic dibasic acid such as glutaric, succinic, or adipic acid. Preferably, both R1 and R2 are hydrogen.

Vitamin E TPGS is available from Eastman Chemical Company, Kingsport, Tenn., USA and is listed in the US pharmacopoeia (NF).
It was found that surfactants or combination of surfactants having a defined HLB (hydrophilic lipophilic balance) value are preferred over other solubilizers.
The HLB system (Fiedler, H. B., Encyclopedia of Excipients, 5th ed., Aulendorf: ECV-Editio-Cantor-Verlag (2002)) attributes numeric values to surfactants, with lipophilic substances receiving lower HLB values and hydrophilic substances receiving higher HLB values.
In preferred embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant comprises at least one surfactant having an HLB value of 10 or more.
Solubilizers having an HLB value of 10 or more may be selected from Gelucire® 44/14 (HLB 14), Cremophor® RH40 (HLB 13), Tween® 65 (HLB 10.5), Tween® 85 (HLB 11). Preferred high HLB solubilizers are tocopheryl compounds having a polyalkylene glycol moiety.
In a preferred embodiment, a combination of solubilizers is used which comprises (i) at least one tocopheryl compound having a polyalkylene glycol moiety, preferably alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate, and (ii) at least one polyalkoxylated polyol fatty acid ester. The tocopheryl compound preferably is alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate. The polyalkoxylated polyol fatty acid ester preferably is a polyalkoxylated glyceride. The mass ratio of tocopheryl compound and polyalkoxylated polyol fatty acid ester preferably is in the range of from 0.2:1 to 1:1.
In an embodiment, the active agent is an N-aryl urea-based active agent. N-aryl urea-based active agents are biologically active compounds which comprise at least one urea moiety in their molecular structure wherein one or both nitrogen atoms are substituted by an aryl group, and which exert a local physiological effect, as well as those which exert a systemic effect, after oral administration. The aryl group may be a carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic group or a fused carbocyclic or heterocyclic aromatic group. Attachment to the nitrogen atom is usually via a carbon atom of the aryl group. A fused aromatic group may be linked to the nitrogen atom via an aromatic or non-aromatic carbon atom. The aryl group may, of course, be substituted by further substituents.
Generally, the N-aryl urea-based active agent is represented by the general formula
wherein
In this nomenclature, the prefix “(dihydro)” is intended to mean either the dihydro compound or the aromatic compound without the prefix; thus (dihydro)benzoxazinyl means either dihydrobenzoxazinyl or benzoxazinyl, etc.

N-[(4R)-2,2-diethyl-8-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-chromen-4-yl]-N′-(1-methyl-1H-indazol-4-yl)urea;
The solid dispersion product is prepared by a process which comprises
As described above, at least one filler may advantageously be added to the liquid mixture before removing the solvent(s).
Suitable solvents are those which are capable of dissolving or solubilising the matrix-forming agent. Typically, non-aqueous solvents are used. Any such solvent may be used, however, pharmaceutically acceptable solvents are preferred because traces of solvent may remain in the dried solid dispersion product. Suitably, the solvent may be selected from the group consisting of alkanols, such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, isobutanol, n-butanol; hydrocarbons, such as pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, toluene, xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons, such as dichloromethane, trichloromethane, dichloroetane, chlorobenzene; ketons, such as acetone; esters, such as ethyl acetate; ethers, such as dioxane, tetrahydrofurane; and combinations of two or more thereof. Ethanol is particularly preferred due to its availability, dissolving power and pharmaceutical safeness.
The liquid mixture may be prepared by any suitable method of contacting the essential ingredients thereof, i.e. the pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent, active agent, the pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant and the solvent or combination of solvents. In an embodiment, the liquid mixture is prepared by dissolving the pharmaceutically acceptable matrix-forming agent to obtain a matrix-forming agent solution, and adding the active agent and the pharmaceutically acceptable surfactant to the solution. The dissolved matrix-forming agent may exert a solubility-enhancing effect on the active agent; thus, the solubility of the active agent in the matrix-forming agent solution may be several times higher than its solubility in the solvent alone. Preferably, the active agent is essentially completely dissolved in the liquid mixture.
The liquid mixture has a dry matter content of up to 90% by weight, for example 0.5 to 90% by weight, in most instances 2 to 60% by weight, relative to the total weight of the liquid mixture.
The solvent(s) may be removed by any suitable method known in the art, such as spray-drying, drum drying, belt drying, tray drying, fluid-bed drying or combinations of two or more thereof. For example, the primary solid dispersion powder obtained by spray-drying may be further dried by tray drying (optionally under vacuum) or fluid-bed drying (optionally under vacuum). In an embodiment, removal of the solvent comprises a spray-drying step, optionally in combination with one or more drying steps other than spray-drying.
The residual solvent content in the final solid dispersion product is preferably 5% by weight or less, more preferably 1% by weight or less.
In spray-drying, the liquid to be dried is suspended in a gas flow, e.g., air, i.e. the liquid is converted into a fog-like mist (atomized), providing a large surface area. The atomized liquid is exposed to a flow of hot gas in a drying chamber. The moisture evaporates quickly and the solids are recovered as a powder consisting of fine, hollow spherical particles. Gas inlet temperatures of up to 250° C. or even higher may be used, due to the evaporation the gas temperature drops very rapidly to a temperature of about 30 to 150° C. (outlet temperature of the gas).
The principle of the drum drying process (roller drying) is that a thin film of material is applied to the smooth surface of a continuously rotating, heated metal drum. The film of dried material is continuously scraped off by a stationary knife located opposite the point of application of the liquid material. The dryer consists of a single drum or a pair of drums with or without “satellite” rollers. The drum(s) may be located in a vacuum chamber. Conveniently, the solvent vapours are collected and the solvent is recovered and recycled.
In a belt dryer, the liquid is spread or sprayed onto a belt which passes over several heated plates underneath the belt. The material is heated by steam-heated or electrically heated plates. The evaporation of the solvent can additionally be fostered by infrared radiators or microwave radiators located over the belt. Belt drying may be carried out in a vacuum chamber.
In tray drying, the liquid mixture (or a dispersion product that has been pre-dried by any other method) is distributed over a number of trays. These are placed in an oven, usually in a stream of hot gas, e.g. air. Vacuum may be applied additionally.
The dried solid dispersion product may then be grinded and/or classified (sieved).
The dried solid dispersion product may then be filled into capsules or may be compacted. Compacting means a process whereby a powder mass comprising the solid dispersion product is densified under high pressure in order to obtain a compact with low porosity, e.g. a tablet. Compression of the powder mass is usually done in a tablet press, more specifically in a steel die between two moving punches.
At least one additive selected from flow regulators, disintegrants, bulking agents and lubricants is preferably used in compacting the granules. Disintegrants promote a rapid disintegration of the compact in the stomach and keep the liberated granules separate from one another. Suitable disintegrants are crosslinked polymers such as crosslinked polyvinyl pyrrolidone and crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Suitable bulking agents are selected from lactose, calcium hydrogenphosphate, microcrystalline cellulose (Avicel®), magnesium oxide, natural or pre-gelatinized potato or corn starch, polyvinyl alcohol.
Suitable flow regulators are selected from highly dispersed silica (Aerosil®), and animal or vegetable fats or waxes.
A lubricant is preferably used in compacting the granules. Suitable lubricants are selected from polyethylene glycol (e.g., having a Mw of from 1000 to 6000), magnesium and calcium stearates, sodium stearyl fumarate, talc, and the like.
Various other additives may be used, for example dyes such as azo dyes, organic or inorganic pigments such as aluminium oxide or titanium dioxide, or dyes of natural origin; stabilizers such as antioxidants, light stabilizers, radical scavengers, or stabilizers against microbial attack.
In order to facilitate the intake of such a dosage form by a mammal, it is advantageous to give the dosage form an appropriate shape. Large tablets that can be swallowed comfortably are therefore preferably elongated rather than round in shape.
A film coat on the tablet further contributes to the ease with which it can be swallowed. A film coat also improves taste and provides an elegant appearance. If desired, the film coat may be an enteric coat. The film coat usually includes a polymeric film-forming material such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, and acrylate or methacrylate copolymers. Besides a film-forming polymer, the film coat may further comprise a plasticizer, e.g. polyethylene glycol, a surfactant, e.g. a Tween® type, and optionally a pigment, e.g. titanium dioxide or iron oxides. The film-coating may also comprise talc as anti-adhesive. The film coat usually accounts for less than about 5% by weight of the dosage form.

The studies were run in a randomized cross-over study design.
Dogs (beagle dogs, mixed sexes, weighing approximately 10 kg) were fasted overnight prior to dosing, but were permitted water ad libitum; food was provided to the dogs about 30 minutes prior to dosing. A single dose corresponding to 25-50 mg ABT 102 was administered to each dog. The dose was followed by approximately 10 milliliters of water. Blood samples were obtained from each animal prior to dosing and 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12,15 and 24 hours after drug administration. The plasma was separated from the red cells by centrifugation and frozen (−20° C.) until analysis. Concentrations of ABT 102 were determined by reverse phase HPLC with HPLC-MS/MS quantitation following liquid-liquid extraction of the plasma samples. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated by the trapezoidal method over the time course of the study. Each dosage form was evaluated in a group containing 3-6 dogs; the values reported are averages for each group of dogs.
It is understood that the foregoing detailed description and accompanying examples are merely illustrative and are not to be taken as limitations upon the scope of the invention, which is defined solely by the appended claims and their equivalents. Various changes and modifications to the disclosed embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Such changes and modifications, including without limitation those relating to the chemical structures, substituents, derivatives, intermediates, syntheses, formulations and/or methods of use of the invention, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope thereof.
Following the procedures of Example 1 above, a liquid mixture is prepared, containing 56.13% by weight of ethanol, 15.36% of PVP K30, 3.56% of Gelucire 44/14, 1.92% of Vitamin E TPGS, 21.94% of maltitol and 1.10% of ABT-102.
The liquid mixture is fed to a twin-drum dryer. This dryer comprises a pair of drums which are rotated in the opposite direction to each other. The drums are heated to a temperature of about 60° C. by circulating thermal oil. The space between the drums forms a liquid pool into which the liquid mixture is introduced. The liquid mixture is being spread on the circumferential faces of the respective drums; the adjustable gap between the two drums acts as a means to control the film thickness. After travelling part of a revolution, the dried material is removed in the form of thin sheets by scraper knifes.
The drying drums are positioned in a vacuum chamber which is maintained at a pressure of 50 mbar (absolute pressure). The ethanol vapours are drawn off and condensed.
Following the procedures of Example 1 above, a spray-dried solid dispersion product was obtained, having a composition of ABT-102: Kollidon K30: Gelucire 44/14: Vitamin
E TPGS (2.4:33.6:7.8:4.2; % by weight). The spray-dried formulation (48.0 parts by weight) was blended with Isomalt (48.0 parts by weight), Aerosil 200 (1.0 parts by weight) and sodium stearyl fumarate (3.0 parts by weight). The mixture was filled into hard gelatine capsules or compacted to tablets, each containing 12.5 mg ABT 102.
The formulations were administered at a dose of 25 mg/dog. Each dog received 2×12.5 mg experimental capsules or tablets. The results are shown in Table 2 below:
Following the procedures of Example 1 above, a spray-dried solid dispersion product was obtained, having a composition of ABT-102: Kollidon K30: Gelucire 44/14: Vitamin E TPGS (5.02:69.99:16.24:8.75; % by weight).
A study was conducted to explore the ABT-102 plasma concentrations following multiple oral dosing in rat. In this study, a 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg/day oral dose was administered once daily for eight consecutive days. The compound was prepared as a suspension of the spray dried material in water at concentrations appropriate for a 20 ml/kg/day dose volume in each treatment group.
The study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley rats (3 male, 3 female per dose group). Animals were permitted free access to food and water throughout the study. Plasma concentrations of parent drug were determined on the first (Day 1) and last (Day 8) of dosing. The results are shown in Table 3 below:
0harmonic mean;
Peak plasma concentrations following the 10, 30 or 100 mg/kg doses averaged 0.73, 1.39 and 2.13 μg/ml, respectively; Cmax values at the end of the study were comparable to those measured on Day 1, averaging 0.60, 1.32 and 2.61 μg/ml in the same treatment groups. AUC values averaged 9.2, 22.2 and 32.6 μg·hr/ml on the first day of the study, remaining constant at 7.3, 15 and 36.2 μg·hr/ml on Day 8.
Following the procedures of Example 1 above, a spray-dried solid dispersion product was obtained, having a composition of ABT-102: Kollidon K30: Gelucire 44/14: Vitamin E TPGS (6.0:58.0:23.4:12.6; % by weight)
A study was conducted to evaluate effect of aging on the ABT-102 bioavailability obtained from suspensions of the spray dried material. Suspensions were prepared by stirring in water for 15 minutes at room temperature (5 mg/ml concentration). The suspensions were then stored refrigerated until dosing. Suspensions aged for 1, 4 and 7 days were compared to a suspension freshly prepared on the morning of dosing. Each of the aged suspension was evaluated in a group of three rats at a dose of 100 mg/kg (20 ml/kg). All four test formulations were evaluated in the same study. Plasma concentrations of parent drug were determined by HPLC-MS/MS.
0harmonic mean;
Peak plasma concentrations and AUC values obtained from the suspensions aged for 1 or 4 days prior to dosing were comparable to or slightly higher than values obtained from the freshly prepared suspension. However, plasma concentrations obtained from suspensions prepared 7 days prior to dosing were ˜30% lower than those obtained from the freshly prepared suspension. The results from this study suggest that suspensions prepared every three to four days will provide comparable plasma concentrations after oral dosing in rat to those obtained from freshly prepared suspensions.
The physical stability of solid dispersion products stored at stressed condition was monitored. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns (PXRD) were recorded to detect crystallization of ABT-102, if any.
PXRD data were collected using a G3000 diffractometer (Inel Corp., Artenay, France) equipped with a curved position sensitive detector and parallel beam optics. The diffractometer was operated with a copper anode tube (1.5 kW fine focus) at 40 kV and 30 mA. An incident beam germanium monochromator provided monochromatic Kα1 radiation. The diffractometer was calibrated using the attenuated direct beam at one-degree intervals. Calibration was checked using a silicon powder line position reference standard (NIST 640c). The instrument was computer controlled using the Symphonix software (Inel Corp., Artenay, France) and the data was analyzed using the Jade software (version 6.5, Materials Data, Inc., Livermore, Calif.). The sample was loaded onto an aluminum sample holder and leveled with a glass slide.
PXRD pattern of an excipient mixture containing Kollidon-30, Gelucire 44/14, and Vitamin E-TPGS show a smooth halo due to the disorderness of each component (
Spray-dried solid dispersions of ABT-102 with various drug load (25% and 15%) and polymers were prepared from methanol (Table 5). The weight loss was measured to be 0.2% to 8.4% (w/w) when the solids were heated above 100° C. The weight loss was mainly due to the residual solvent, methanol.
The solids were stored at 40° C./75% RH (relative humidity) stability chamber.
As shown in Example 3 above, ABT-102 dosage forms of the invention provide Cmax values ranging from 0.17 to 0.37 μg/ml and AUC values ranging from 1.07 to 2.94 μg.hr/ml in dogs, following a 25 mg dose of ABT-102.
Based on previously conducted human pharmacokinetic data for ABT-102, it was determined that pharmacokinetics of ABT-102 was characterized by dose proportional exposures (Cmax and AUC). This data was generated using a lipid-liquid formulation. However, it is anticipated that the current spray dried formulation of the invention also achieves similar pharmacokinetic profile in humans.
The invention therefore contemplates ABT-102 oral dosage forms wherein a single-dose administration provides in a patient a blood plasma level profile with a dosage-corrected Cmax between 0.8 and 2.4 ng/ml*mg, wherein said dosage-corrected Cmax is Cmax divided by the number of milligrams of ABT-102 in the dosage form.
The invention further contemplates ABT-102 oral dosage forms, having a dosage-corrected AUC∞ between 18 and 35 ng.h/ml*mg, wherein said dosage-corrected AUC∞ is the AUC∞ divided by the number of milligrams of ABT-102 in the dosage form following single dose administration.
