Topical administration describes the application of a substance to a surface of the skin. The term is often used to describe the application of a cream, foam, gel, lotion or ointment to the skin or mucous membranes. The high keratinization of skin cells and their dense packing creates, in most cases, a barrier impermeable to penetration. Because of this, most substances are not absorbed through the skin. There is an unmet need for formulations and method for transdermal penetration that work with a variety of medicaments and active agents, which overcome the barrier presented by the stratum corneum as well as the deeper layers of skin, that do so without harsh solvents, and are effective in delivering high molecular weight agents such as peptides, proteins and nucleic acids.

The term transdermal administration refers to applying a substance onto the skin so that it is absorbed into the body for local or systemic distribution. A transdermal solution (e.g., cream, ointment, or lotion) or transdermal patch is typically placed on one's skin. The solution or patch includes a medicament that is released into the skin. As the layers of skin absorb the solution, the medicament is absorbed via the blood vessels into the bloodstream. From there, the substance can be circulated through the body.
There are obvious advantages to transdermal administration of medicaments. The consumer does not have to schedule and remember to consume doses of pills. Further, transdermal administration is not affected by stomach or digestive issues. Administration across the skin enables drugs to avoid degradation in the gastrointestinal tract or liver. Transdermal delivery is therefore of particular interest for molecules with limited systemic bioavailabilities and short half-lives. Drugs that are absorbed slowly can be more effective. With a transdermal patch or cream, a medicament can be released in small quantities over a long period of time.
Transdermal administration can be effective in administering hydrophobic chemicals such as steroid hormones. For example, transdermal patches are a common means of administering steroidal drugs for birth control, hormone replacement therapy and prevention of motion sickness. Common medicaments that can be administered by transdermal patches include pain relievers, nicotine, hormones, and drugs to treat angina and motion sickness.
Medicaments that are not hydrophobic chemicals are typically unsuited for topical administration. To be effective, the active drug or agent in a topical composition must penetrate the skin, which is structurally complex and relatively thick. Molecules moving through the skin must first penetrate the stratum corneum and any material on its surface. The molecules must then penetrate the epidermis, the papillary dermis, and the capillary walls into the vascular system or lymphatic system. To be absorbed, the molecules must overcome a different resistance to penetration in each layer.
Strategies have been devised to improve transdermal administration of medicaments. These strategies can be categorized as either physical, chemical, mechanical or biochemical. Combinations of these strategies can also increase efficacy or extend the time for transdermal delivery. Physical techniques include abrasion and tape stripping, which physically break open the skin. Another physical method is prolonged occlusion, which alters the barrier properties of the stratum corneum. After 24 to 28 hours of occlusion with resultant hydration, corneocytes swell, intercellular spaces become distended, and the lacunar network becomes dilated. Distention of the lacunae eventually leads to connections with an otherwise discontinuous system. This creates pores in the stratum corneum interstices through which polar and non-polar substances can penetrate more easily.
Lecithin organogel (LO) is a common component of transdermal penetrants. LOs can help deliver different agents through the skin because they possess both the properties of oil and aqueous based formulations. LOs are typically gels that have an organic medium in liquid phase. They can have jelly-like structure that consists of three-dimensional networks of entangled reverse cylindrical micelles, which immobilize the continuous phase and thus convert from liquid to viscous gel.
Other approaches include the use of Chemical Permeation Enhancers. Chemical Permeation Enhancers (CPEs) are molecules that interact with the constituents of skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum (SC), and increase its permeability. However, despite efforts at improving them, CPEs are minimally effective in increasing the rate at which drugs permeate the skin. CPEs can also cause skin damage, irritation and sensitization. Further, they are generally ineffective with high molecular weight drugs such as peptides, proteins and nucleic acids.
Although a variety of methods can be used to enhance transdermal drug delivery, these methods have limitations. Most efforts to enhance transdermal penetration have focused on the outermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. They typically rely on harsh solvents (e.g., alcohols, DMSO) or patch-based systems. This approach limits the molecular size, lipophilicity, and potency of drugs that can be used. In essence, current approaches are largely limited to small, lipophilic, and highly potent drugs.
The present disclosure provides improved formulations and method for transdermal penetration that work with a variety of medicaments and active agents. These formulations and methods overcome the barrier presented by the stratum corneum as well as the deeper layers of skin. Further, it does so without harsh solvents and are effective in delivering high molecular weight agents such as peptides, proteins and nucleic acids.

In yet another aspect, the present disclosure provides a method for transdermally delivering at least one medicament. The method comprises a step of applying to the skin of a subject an effective amount of any herein disclosed formulation.
An aspect of the present disclosure is a method for treating a disease or disorder or reducing a symptom thereof. The method comprises a steps of administering to a subject in need thereof any herein disclosed transdermal formulation and administering to the subject in need thereof a composition comprising an one or more medicaments selected from Table 1.

Another aspect of the present disclosure is a use of any herein disclosed transdermal formulation in a method for treating a disease or disorder or reducing a symptom thereof.
A further aspect of the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a medicament for treating a disease or disorder or reducing a symptom thereof comprising combining a penetrant portion as recited in any herein disclosed formulation with one or more medicaments recited in Table 1.
Any aspect or embodiment described herein can be combined with any other aspect or embodiment as disclosed herein.
Embodiments include a transdermal lotion or cream for administration of medicaments to a subject. It is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of an agent through the skin. The agent can be delivered across the skin into a localized subdermal location. For example, a lotion can alleviate inflammation from an autoimmune response. The lotion or cream can be applied directly to the affected area. Alternatively, the agent can enter the circulation for systemic distribution.
In an alternative embodiment, an agent can be administered using a transdermal or medicated adhesive patch. To release an agent, a patch can utilize a porous membrane covering a reservoir of the agent. Alternatively, the agent can be embedded in layers of the adhesive that release the agent as they dissolve or melt.
An advantage of a transdermal drug delivery route over other types of delivery is that the formulation can provide a controlled release of the agent. Conventional transdermal delivery systems are generally ineffective for use with agents and medications that are large molecules and/or hydrophilic molecules.
There are other advantages to transdermal administration of medicaments. Proteins and peptides used, for example, in aging treatments can be degraded by the gastric acid and enzymes. Transdermal administration is not affected by stomach or digestive issues. Further, people can benefit from drugs that are absorbed slowly and regularly. With a transdermal formulation, a medicament can be released in small quantities over a long period of time.
Other advantages are related to dosing. Large doses of agents can cause dose-dependent toxicity in many cases. For example, oral administration of vitamin A can result in hypervitaminosis A. The main problems associated with the vitamin A are its half-life, fast absorption (due to lipophilicity) and its toxicity (due to high loading and frequent dosing). Also, some drugs undergo first-pass metabolism, which prevents their delivery to the desired site of action. Furthermore, many hydrophilic or lipophilic drugs show either poor dissolution or poor absorption on oral administration. With a transdermal formulation, the effective concentration of an agent can be applied at the desired site without painful delivery.
Additionally, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are able to deliver an active agent into an animal's bloodstream and thereby provide systemic administration of the agent (e.g., a medicament disclosed in Table 1). In particular, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure can provide a higher concentration of a molecule (especially one that is insoluble) and can provide systemic administration for a molecule that would be poorly absorbed by the gut epithelium. Together, molecules that are not suitable for enteral delivery or are suitable but at a low dosage can be systemically administered via transdermal formulations of the present disclosure.
In one embodiment, medicaments are supplied via transdermal administration. There are many occasions in which the formulations of the invention are useful. For athletes, a transdermal delivery formulation can deliver to tired muscles sufficient amounts of a neutralizing agent for lactic acid, such as a ketone component, to relieve the burning sensation felt by the athlete due to the buildup of lactic acid. This permits the athlete to continue to perform at optimum level for longer periods of time. In addition, athletes or others “working out” are expending high amounts of energy and are in need of energy generation, especially in those areas of their musculature that are involved in performing workouts and, therefore, need to consume large numbers of calories. These nutrients can be supplied directly rather than requiring oral ingestion which is counterproductive and relatively slow.
The transdermal formulations of the present disclosure may deliver medicaments of various sizes. As examples, the medicaments having a molecular weight of less than 500 Da, e.g., Nicotine (162.2 Da), Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride (291.8 Da), and Hydrocortisone (362.5 Da); medicaments having a molecular weight from 500 Da to 1000 Da, e.g., Sildenafil Citrate (666.7 Da), Neratinib (557 Da), and Doxycycline hyclate (512.9 Da); and medicaments having a molecular weight greater than 1000 Da, e.g., Cyclosporine A (1202.6 Da), Vancomycin Hydrochloride (1485.70 Da), and RBD protein (10,000+Da).

Various transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are able to successfully deliver (at relatively high bioavailability) a range of actives that are either entirely insoluble, at least partially, or majority insoluble. This ability to deliver insoluble actives is contrary to the commonly-held belief that actives generally need to be solubilized for transdermal drug delivery.
There are a number of pharmacologically active medicaments which are poorly soluble in in aqueous media and/or acidic solutions which have proved challenging to deliver to a subject either transdermally or orally, due to the inability of the drug to be absorbed by the small intestine, or inability of the medicament to be solubilized in a transdermal formulation and penetrate the skin. In general, it has previously been thought that pharmacologically active medicaments must be wholly or partially dissolved in an aqueous solution in order to be absorbed by a subject and achieve a reasonably high bioavailability in a subject. In the case of orally administered medicaments, it is thought a drug must be wholly or partially soluble in an aqueous medium in order dissolved in the stomach and absorbed by the small intestine. In the case of transdermally administered drugs, it is thought that a medicament must be wholly or mostly soluble in the formulation in order to penetrate the skin and achieve a high or relatively high bioavailability in a subject.
Such medicaments which are poorly soluble in aqueous medium are drugs which fall into Class 2 and Class 4 of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS). The BCS is a scientific framework which predicts in vivo drug performance via in vitro measurements of solubility and permeation. Solubility is the extent a drug can dissolve in gastrointestinal (GI) fluid and permeation is the extent solubilized drug can pass across membranes of cells lining the GI tract. Medicaments have a high solubility according to BCS if less than 250 mL of an aqueous media (pH between 1-7.5) dissolves the highest API prescription dose. Class 2 drugs and Class 4 drugs have low solubilities as they do not meet this solubility criteria. Class 2 drugs have high permeability whereas class 4 drugs have low permeability.
Various transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in delivering class 2 and class 4 insoluble molecules at a high or relatively high bioavailability in a subject. Example 32 illustrates essentially insoluble class 2 or class 4 molecules which are delivered at a high or relatively high bioavailability in a subject by the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure and some partially soluble molecules that are delivered at an improved bioavailability in a subject. In Example 32, the following molecules were included in a transdermal formulation comprising one of Hydrocortisone, Sildenafil Citrate, Cyclosporine, Eletriptan, Neratinib Maleate, or Free Base Neratinib. Notably, the following molecules normally do not solubilize in aqueous medium at >2% (hydrocortisone), >1% (sildenafil citrate, cyclosporine, or apixaban), >0.1% (neratinib maleate or neratinib free base), or >0.002% (eletriptan).
In addition to the above insoluble Class 2 and Class 4 molecules illustrated in Example 32, the pharmacologically active medicaments listed in the below table also achieve high or reasonably high bioavailability when administered with the transdermal formulations of present disclosure.
In addition to the above insoluble Class 2 and Class 4 medicaments, kinase inhibitors are especially known for being insoluble medicaments which are difficult to deliver to a subject. Similar to the above, the below kinase inhibitors also achieve high or reasonably high bioavailability when administered with the transdermal formulations of present embodiments. The kinase inhibitors are of the same class of drug, and/or the same class of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System as one or more of the medicaments listed above in the below Table.
Without wishing to be bound by theory, the mechanism of action in which the insoluble class 2 or class 4 medicaments are delivered at a high or reasonably high bioavailability transdermally may include one or more ingredients in the transdermal formulations of present embodiments partially breaking down one or more layers of dermal tissue (e.g., stratum coreum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale) permitting the medicament to penetrate the dermis, and enter the targeted tissue at a high local concentration, providing a high or reasonably high bioavailability in the targeted tissue. In other embodiments, the mechanism of action may include one or more ingredients in the transdermal formulations of present embodiments partially breaking down one or more layers of dermal tissue (e.g., stratum coreum, stratum lucidum, stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale) in order to permitting the medicament to penetrate the dermis, and enter the blood stream as to delivery an insoluble class 2 or class 4 medicaments systemically while bypassing the GI track.
Any herein-disclosed transdermal formulation can provide systemic administration of a medicament (e.g., a medicament disclosed in Table 1) via transdermal delivery of the medicament.
Various transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in promoting wound healing. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the mechanism of action may be one or both reducing infection, reducing inflammation, and helping the body heal.
For example, without being bound to a particular theory, one possible mechanism in which the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure may aid wound healing is by modulating the microenvironment of the wounded tissue to a physiological normal pH, and/or reducing the body's inflammatory response using a buffering agent and/or by delivering one or more of the medicaments listed in Table 1 which may have a wound healing effect. Various medicaments listed in Table 1 may directly promote wound healing. In some cases, the medicament is an antibiotic or other anti-infective agent. In some cases, the medicament is a steroid, retinoid, or other dermatological enhancing agent. In some cases, the medicament is a buffering agent (e.g., NaHCO3). Nonlimiting examples of antibiotics and other anti-infective agents include vancomycin, doxycycline, ampicillin, sulbactam, amoxicillin, azithromycin, clavulanate, piperacillin, tazobactam, Amphotericin B, clarithromycin, daptomycin, doxycycline ER, ivermectin, lymecycline, neomycin, and tigecycline. These medicaments may be used alone or in any combination.
Inflammation is a natural response to a physical trauma experienced by a subject and is an important aspect of the body's healing response. Aspects of inflammation which may be associated with wound healing include acidification of the wounded tissue microenvironment in and around the wounded tissue, overproduction of white blood cells, activation of macrophages, production of cytokines, activation of neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, plasma cells, myeloid granulocytes, and histocytes, increased blood flow, swelling, stiffness, fatigue, fever, and pain, among other symptoms, which may vary depending on the type and severity of the wound, including whether or not the wound is infected. Injured tissue tends to provoke the body's inflammatory response, and the ordinary course of wound healing advances from an inflammation stage following injury, to tissue formation stage, and then to a tissue remodeling stage.
In some cases, a subject may partially or entirely fail to advance from the inflammation stage to tissue formation stage, which may halt or slow the wound healing process; or may advance to the tissue formation or tissue remodeling stages without exiting the inflammation stage. The inflammation of the injured tissue may then become chronic and begin to damage the body's healthy cell tissues, including newly produced cell tissues, and newly remodeled cell tissues, possibly leading to DNA damage, tissue death, and formation of scar tissue. In some embodiments, the wounded tissue may partially or entirely fail to advance from the inflammation stage, and may continue to have an acidic tissue microenvironment in and around the wounded tissue. In some embodiments, the acidic tissue microenvironment may be the result of ischemia-driven tissue acidification. The creation and maintenance of an acidic tissue microenvironment may trigger inflammatory processes in the wounded tissue on the ongoing bases, stimulation of the production of inflammatory cytokines by the stroma or endothelium in wounded tissue. In a healthy regeneration and remodeling response, neoangiogenesis will occur, and the wounded tissue will return to a physiological pH (e.g., neutral or slightly basic, pH 7.4).
However, when the acidic tissue microenvironment, or the ischemia-driven tissue acidification, fails to resolve as the wound attempts to heal, the wounded tissue remains partially inflamed as it advances to the tissue formation and tissue remodeling stages, and the inflammatory processes that initially benefitted the wound healing process may then begin to damage the new tissue. For example, the maintenance of the acidic tissue microenvironment may continue to stimulate inflammatory processes such as the production of inflammatory cytokines, overproduction of white blood cells, activation of macrophages, activation of neutrophils, swelling, stiffness, and pain, among other possible inflammatory processes. The various inflammatory processes may damage newly formed tissue, or slow the tissue formation and tissue remodeling processes. For example, overproduction of white blood cells, and activation of macrophages, activation of neutrophils may target and phagocytose newly formed cells or newly remodeled tissue; or ongoing swelling and stiffness of a wound may reduce blood flow and the influx of fresh oxygen and nutrients required by the wounded tissue to heal; or ongoing stiffness and pain may prevent the subject from moving or exercising the tissue as it heals as may be necessary to stimulate blood flow and the influx of fresh oxygen and nutrients, or to otherwise stimulate the formation of healthy tissue which requires a biomechanically normal levels of stress and strain upon the tissue in order to facilitate proper gene transcription and proper tissue formation.
In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in promoting wound healing by modulating the acidic tissue microenvironment with a buffering agent to a neutral pH, a slightly basic pH, a basic pH, or a physiological pH (e.g., about 7.4). In some embodiments, the modulating the acidic tissue microenvironment with a buffering agent to a higher pH may reduce or eliminate one or more inflammatory processes, which may aid in wound healing. Possible mechanisms of buffering agents aiding wound healing by reducing inflammation may include deactivating macrophages and/or neutrophils, reducing the production of white blood cells, decreasing swelling, stiffness, and pain, and increasing blood flow to the wounded tissue.
In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in promoting wound healing by delivering an anti-infective agent to prevent the wound from getting infected. In some embodiments, the anti-infective agent is an antibiotic, as described above. Possible mechanisms of anti-infective agent aiding wound healing includes preventing the uncontrolled growth of bacteria in wounded tissue, reducing inflammation associated with infection, and diverting the body's resource from fighting infection to cell division, tissue production, and tissue remodeling.
In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure directed to wound healing comprise both an anti-infective agent, another medicament, and/or a buffering agent. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure directed to wound healing comprise both an antibiotic and a buffering agent. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure comprise one of the medicaments listed in Table 1 and a buffering agent, e.g., NaHCO3. In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure directed to wound healing comprise both an antibiotic, another medicament of Table 1, and a buffering agent. Possible mechanisms of a combination of buffering agents, antibiotics, and other medicaments of Table 1 aiding wound healing include those set forth above, as well as synergistic effects resulting from the combination of the antibiotic and buffering agent. In some embodiments, the combination of a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament of Table 1 in the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure provide a greater wound healing effect (e.g., reduce the time to wound closure, and restoration of healthy, functional tissue), by an amount that is 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, or 75% greater than either the use of an antibiotic or buffering agent separately, or when compared to healing an untreated wound.
In some embodiments, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in promoting wound healing by delivery of a dermatological restoring agent to the wounded tissue, for example, delivery of steroid or retinoid to dermal tissue. In some embodiments, the steroid or retinoid may aid the wound healing process by stimulating the production of collagen in the newly formed dermal tissue without resulting in the overproduction of scar tissue.
In some embodiments, the wound which is aided by the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure is a diabetic foot ulcer. A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that occurs in approximately 15 percent of patients with diabetes, and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, six percent will be hospitalized due to infection or other ulcer-related complication. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, both a buffering agent and an antibiotic, or other combinations of the medicaments listed in Table 1, may aid in the healing of the diabetic foot ulcer, may reduce the time to close an open diabetic foot ulcer, or may reduce the time to the formation of healthy or physiologically functional tissue. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament listed in Table 1, treats a diabetic foot ulcer. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament listed in Table 1, prevents a diabetic foot ulcer. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament listed in Table 1, reduces the likelihood of a diabetic foot ulcer by 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95%. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament listed in Table 1, reduces the likelihood of infection from a diabetic foot ulcer by 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95%. In some embodiments, the use of a transdermal formulation described herein comprising a buffering agent, an antibiotic, and/or another medicament listed in Table 1, reduces the likelihood of hospitalization due to the infection of a diabetic foot ulcer by 25, 50, 75, 85, 90, or 95%.
Cancer is generally defined as a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Conventional cancer treatments are directed at removing cancerous tissue and preventing it from spreading. Such treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, targeted therapy and palliative care. Treatments are usually pursued based on the type, location and grade of the cancer as well as the patient's health and preferences.
A promising area for the development of treatments includes targeted therapies using small molecules. Many embodiments provided herein are directed to various methods of treating cancer and/or tumors. An exemplary embodiment of a method of treating cancer in a patient according to the invention comprises administering topically and/or transdermally an effective amount of a transdermal delivery formulation comprising one or small molecules to a patient in need thereof, wherein said administration is effective to inhibit or prevent the growth of a tumor or tumor cells.

See U.S. Pat. No. 6,586,428 to Geroni et al.
In another aspect, formulations provided herein can be administered or co-administered with immunotherapeutic agents. Immunotherapy has become a promising approach to treat cancer. Kruger C., et al., Immune based therapies in cancer, Histol. Histopathol, 2007, v22, 687-696. The types of immunotherapies used to treat cancer and can be categorized as active, passive or hybrid (active and passive). Active immunotherapy directs the immune system to attack tumor cells by targeting TAAs. Passive immunotherapies enhance existing anti-tumor responses and include the use of cytokines, checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, lymphocytes and cytokines. A suitable immunotherapeutic agent or immunotherapy may be a biologic or biologically active agent such as an antibody or modified antibody or cell based therapy such as chimeric antigen receptor therapy (CAR-T). It is recognized that there may be overlap in categorizing and classifying such agent as biological agents, immunotherapeutic agents, cell-based therapeutics, biological therapeutic agents and the like. Examples of approved antibody immunotherapeutics include, alemtuzumab, atezolizumab, avelumab, ipilimumab, durvalumab, nivolumab, ofatumumab, and rituximab, and trastuzumab. These and others are suitable for use in certain embodiments provided herein.
In another aspect, formulations can be administered or co-administered with biological therapeutic agents and other therapeutic drugs. For example, virulizin (Lorus Therapeutics), which is believed to stimulate the release of tumor necrosis factor, TNF-α, by tumor cells in vitro and stimulate activation of macrophage cells. This can be used in combination with one or more formulation of the invention to increase cancer cell apoptosis and treat various types of cancers including pancreatic cancer, malignant melanoma, Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), lung cancer, breast cancer, uterine, ovarian and cervical cancer. Another example is CpG 7909 (Coley Pharmaceutical Group), which is believed to activate NK cells and monocytes and enhance ADCC. Cytokines such as interferons and interleukins (e.g. EPO, thrombopoietin) are biological agents useful certain embodiments in combination with one or more formulation of the invention.

A transdermal delivery formulation comprise mixtures wherein the components interact synergistically and induce skin permeation enhancements better than that induced by the individual components. Synergies between chemicals can be exploited to design potent permeation enhancers that overcome the efficacy limitations of single enhancers. Several embodiments disclosed herein utilize one or more distinct permeation enhancers.
Emergency medical treatment of individuals requiring, for example, blood balancing agents including electrolytes and readily-metabolized nutrients, such as glucose, that would otherwise be administered intravenously can instead be non-invasively treated by massaging the formulation through the skin and thus permitting systemic delivery so that levels in the bloodstream are altered.
In some embodiments, the components for athletic performance include beta-alanine, L-carnitine, adenosine triphosphate, dextrose, creatine monohydrate, beta hydroxy-betamethylbutyrate (HMB), branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine), glutathione, sodium phosphate, and caffeine. Components for medical nutrition include amino acids, dextrose, lipids, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, acetate, Cl−, P, multivitamin, and trace elements. While components for weight loss include conjugated linoleic acids, ephedra, caffeine, and salicin.
Embodiments include a transdermal lotion or cream for administration of medicaments to a subject. It is placed on the skin to deliver a specific dose of an agent through the skin. The agent can be delivered across the skin into a localized subdermal location. For example, a lotion can alleviate inflammation from an autoimmune response. The lotion or cream can be applied directly to the affected area. Alternatively, the agent can enter the circulation for systemic distribution.
In an alternative embodiment, an agent can be administered using a transdermal or medicated adhesive patch. To release an agent, a patch can utilize a porous membrane covering a reservoir of the agent. Alternatively, the agent can be embedded in layers of the adhesive that release the agent as they dissolve or melt.
An advantage of a transdermal drug delivery route over other types of delivery is that the formulation can provide a controlled release of the agent. Conventional transdermal delivery systems are generally ineffective for use with agents and medications that are large molecules and/or hydrophilic molecules.
There are other advantages to transdermal administration of medicaments. Proteins and peptides used, for example, in aging treatments can be degraded by the gastric acid and enzymes. Transdermal administration is not affected by stomach or digestive issues. Further, people can benefit from drugs that are absorbed slowly and regularly. With a transdermal formulation, a medicament can be released in small quantities over a long period of time.
Other advantages are related to dosing. Large doses of agents can cause dose-dependent toxicity in many cases. For example, oral administration of vitamin A can result in hypervitaminosis A. The main problems associated with the vitamin A are its half-life, fast absorption (due to lipophilicity) and its toxicity (due to high loading and frequent dosing). Also, some drugs undergo first-pass metabolism, which prevents their delivery to the desired site of action. Furthermore, many hydrophilic or lipophilic drugs show either poor dissolution or poor absorption on oral administration. With a transdermal formulation, the effective concentration of an agent can be applied at the desired site without painful delivery.
In one embodiment, medicaments are supplied via transdermal administration. There are many occasions in which the formulations of the invention are useful. For athletes, a transdermal delivery formulation can deliver to tired muscles sufficient amounts of a neutralizing agent for lactic acid, such as a ketone component, to relieve the burning sensation felt by the athlete due to the buildup of lactic acid. This permits the athlete to continue to perform at optimum level for longer periods of time. In addition, athletes or others “working out” are expending high amounts of energy and are in need of energy generation, especially in those areas of their musculature that are involved in performing workouts and, therefore, need to consume large numbers of calories. These nutrients can be supplied directly rather than requiring oral ingestion which is counterproductive and relatively slow.
The relationship between abnormal protein phosphorylation and disease cause or prognosis is well known. Protein kinases are a large and diverse family of enzymes that catalyze protein phosphorylation and play an important role in cell signaling.
Protein kinases therefore represent an important group of drug targets. The widespread occurrence of overactive protein kinases in cancer cells suggests that molecules that inhibit these enzymes might act as antitumor agents. Various protein kinase inhibitors have been used clinically in the treatment of diseases such as cancer and chronic inflammatory diseases including diabetes and stroke.
Protein kinases can exert positive or negative regulatory effects depending on the target protein. Protein kinases are involved in specific signal transduction pathways that regulate cell functions, which include metabolism, cell cycle progression, cell adhesion, vascular function, apoptosis and angiogenesis. Cellular signaling dysfunction is associated with many diseases, including cancer and diabetes. Regulation of signal transduction by cytokines and the relationship between signal molecules and proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes have also been demonstrated. The relationship between diabetes and related conditions and deregulation levels of protein kinases has also been demonstrated. See, for example, Sridhar et al., Pharmaceutical Research, 17 (1): 1345-1353 (2000). Viral infections and associated conditions are also implicated in the regulation of protein kinases. Park et al., Cell, 101 (7): 777-787 (2000).
Protein kinases can be divided into broad groups based on the identity of the amino acids that they target (serine/threonine, tyrosine, lysine and histidine). For example, tyrosine kinases include receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) such as growth factors and non-receptor tyrosine kinases such as the src kinase family. There are also bispecific protein kinases that target both tyrosine and serine/threonine, such as cyclin dependent kinases (CDK) and mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK). Certain cells contain many protein kinases, some of which phosphorylate other protein kinases. Some protein kinases phosphorylate a wide variety of proteins, others phosphorylate only one protein. As expected, there are many classes of protein kinases. Upon receiving a signal, some proteins may undergo autophosphorylation.
Protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs) constitute a large family of kinases that regulate cells to cellular signals involved in proliferation, differentiation, adhesion, motility and death. Tyrosine kinase members include, Yes, BMX, Syk, EphA1, FGFR3, RKY, MUSK, JAK1 and FGFR. Tyrosine kinases are divided into two classes: receptor tyrosine kinases and non-receptor tyrosine kinases. The tyrosine kinase family is large, consisting of at least 90 characterized kinases of at least 58 receptor kinases and at least 32 non-receptor kinases, totaling at least 30 subfamilies. Tyrosine kinases are involved in diabetes and cancer and have been linked to various congenital syndromes.
Non-receptor tyrosine kinases are a group of intracellular enzymes that do not contain extracellular and transmembrane sequences. Currently, over 32 non-receptor tyrosine kinase families have been identified, for example, Src, Btk, Csk, ZAP70, Kak family. The Src family of non-receptor tyrosine kinase families is the largest and includes Src, Yes, Fyn, Lyn, Lek, Blk, Hck, Fgr and Yrk protein tyrosine kinases. The Src family of kinases has been linked to carcinogenesis, cell proliferation and tumor progression. Many protein tyrosine kinases have been shown to be involved in cell signaling pathways involved in various pathological conditions including cancer, hyperproliferative diseases and immune diseases.
Other proteins that play an important role in cell signaling include matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), heat shock proteins (HSPs) and proteosome proteins. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrix metallopeptidases or matrixins, are metalloproteinases that are calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases; other family members are adamalysins, serralysins, and astacins. The MMPs belong to a larger family of proteases known as the metzincin superfamily. Collectively, these enzymes can degrade extracellular matrix proteins and process a number of bioactive molecules. They are known to be involved in the cleavage of cell surface receptors, the release of apoptotic ligands (such as the FAS ligand), and chemokine/cytokine inactivation. MMPs are also thought to play a major role in cell behaviors such as cell proliferation, migration (adhesion/dispersion), differentiation, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and host defense.
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of proteins that are produced by cells in response to exposure to stressful conditions. They were first described in relation to heat shock but are now known to also be expressed during other stresses including exposure to cold, UV light and during wound healing or tissue remodeling. Many members of this group perform chaperone functions by stabilizing new proteins to ensure correct folding or by helping to refold proteins that were damaged by the cell stress. Proteasomes are protein complexes which degrade unneeded or damaged proteins by proteolysis, a chemical reaction that breaks peptide bonds. Enzymes that help such reactions are called proteases. Proteasomes are part of a major mechanism by which cells regulate the concentration of particular proteins and degrade misfolded proteins.
Embodiments include transdermal administration of a medicament to modulate one or more of (a) a serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase, (b) a matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), (c) a heat shock protein (HSP), or (d) a proteosome. The medicament can be a small molecule cancer drug that is administered using a formulation as described herein.

Conventional transdermal delivery systems are generally ineffective for use with agents and medications that are large molecules and/or hydrophilic molecules.
There are other advantages to transdermal administration of medicaments. Small molecules can be inactivated or degraded by the stomach or liver. Transdermal administration is not affected by stomach or digestive issues. Further, people can benefit from drugs that are absorbed slowly and regularly. With a transdermal formulation, a medicament can be released in small quantities over a long period of time.
Other advantages are related to dosing. Large doses of agents can cause dose-dependent toxicity in many cases. For example, oral administration of vitamin A can result in hypervitaminosis A.

For topical administration, and in particular transdermal administration, a transdermal delivery formulation will comprise penetrants including either or both chemical penetrants (CPEs) and peptide-based cellular penetrating agents (CPPs) that encourage transmission across the dermis and/or across membranes including cell membranes, as would be the case in particular for administration by suppository or intranasal administration, but for transdermal administration as well. In some embodiments, suitable penetrants include those that are described in the above-referenced US2009/0053290, WO2014/209910, and WO2017/127834. In addition to transdermal delivery formulations with penetrants, transdermal delivery can be affected by mechanically disrupting the surface of the skin to encourage penetration, or simply by supplying the formulation applied to the skin under an occlusive patch.
Alternatively, the transdermal delivery formulation comprises a completion component as well as one or more electrolytes sufficient to impart viscosity and viscoelasticity, one or more surfactants and an alcohol.

An additional component in a transdermal delivery formulation of the disclosure is an alcohol. Benzyl alcohol and ethanol are illustrated in the Examples. In particular, derivatives of benzyl alcohol which contain substituents on the benzene ring, such as halo, alkyl and the like. The weight percentage of benzyl or other related alcohol in the final composition is 0.5-20% w/w, and again, intervening percentages such as 1% w/w, 2% w/w, 3% w/w, 4% w/w, 5% w/w, 6% w/w, 7% w/w, 8% w/w, 9% w/w, or 10% w/w, and other intermediate weight percentages are included. Due to the aromatic group present in a transdermal delivery formulation such as benzyl alcohol, the molecule has a polar end (the alcohol end) and a non-polar end (the benzene end). This enables the agent to dissolve a wider variety of transdermal delivery formulation components.
In some embodiments, as noted above, the performance of a transdermal delivery formulation is further improved by including a nonionic detergent and polar gelling agent or including a powdered surfactant. In both aqueous and anhydrous forms of the composition, detergents, typically nonionic detergents are added. In general, the nonionic detergent should be present in an amount from about 1% w/w to about 30% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation. Typically, in the compositions wherein a transdermal delivery formulation is topped off with a polar or aqueous solution containing detergent, the amount of detergent is relatively low—e.g., 2-25% w/w, or 5-15% w/w or 7-12% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation. However, in compositions that are essentially anhydrous and are topped-off by powdered detergent, relatively higher percentages are usually used—e.g., 20-60% w/w.
In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises a detergent portion in an amount from about 1 to about 70% w/w or from about 1 to about 60% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation. In some embodiments, the nonionic detergent provides suitable handling properties whereby the formulations are gel-like or creams at room temperature. To exert this effect, the detergent, typically a poloxamer, is present in an amount from about 2 to about 12% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation, preferably from about 5 to about 25% w/w in polar formulations. In the anhydrous forms of the compositions, the detergent is added in powdered or micronized form to bring the composition to 100% and higher amounts are used. In compositions with polar constituents, rather than bile salts, the nonionic detergent is added as a solution to bring the composition to 100%. If smaller amounts of detergent solutions are needed due to high levels of the remaining components, more concentrated solutions of the nonionic detergent are employed. Thus, for example, the percent detergent in the solution may be 10% to 40% or 20% or 30% and intermediate values depending on the percentages of the other components.
Suitable nonionic detergents include poloxamers such as the non-ionic surfactant Pluronic® and any other surfactant characterized by a combination of hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties. Poloxamers are triblock copolymers of a central hydrophobic chain of polyoxypropylene flanked by two hydrophilic chains of polyethyleneoxide. Other nonionic surfactants include long chain alcohols and copolymers of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers where blocks of hydrophilic and hydrophobic portions are used.
In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation also contains surfactant, typically, nonionic surfactant at 2-25% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation along with a polar solvent wherein the polar solvent is present in an amount at least in molar excess of the nonionic surfactant. In these embodiments, typically, the composition comprises the above-referenced amounts of a transdermal delivery formulation and benzyl alcohol along with a sufficient amount of a polar solution, typically an aqueous solution or polyethylene glycol solution that itself contains 10%-40% of surfactant, typically nonionic surfactant to bring the composition to 100%.
Other examples of surfactants include polyoxyethylated castor oil derivatives such as HCO-60 surfactant sold by the HallStar Company; nonoxynol; octoxynol; phenylsulfonate; poloxamers such as those sold by BASF as Pluronic® F68, Pluronic® F127, and Pluronic® L62; polyoleates; Rewopal® HVIO, sodium laurate, sodium lauryl sulfate (sodium dodecyl sulfate); sodium oleate; sorbitan dilaurate; sorbitan dioleate; sorbitan monolaurate such as Span® 20 sold by Sigma-Aldrich; sorbitan monooleates; sorbitan trilaurate; sorbitan trioleate; sorbitan monopalmitate such as Span® 40 sold by Sigma-Aldrich; sorbitan stearate such as Span® 85 sold by Sigma-Aldrich; polyethylene glycol nonylphenyl ether such as Synperonic® NP sold by Sigma-Aldrich; p-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl ether sold as Triton™ X-100 sold by Sigma-Aldrich; and polysorbates such as polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monolaurate sold as Tween® 20, polysorbate 40 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monopalmitate) sold as Tween® 40, polysorbate 60 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate) sold as Tween® 60, polysorbate 80 (polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate) sold as Tween® 80, and polyoxyethylenesorbitan trioleate sold as Tween® 85 by Sigma-Aldrich. The weight percentage range of nonionic surfactant is in the range of 3% w/w-15% w/w, and again includes intermediate percentages such as 5% w/w, 7% w/w, 10% w/w, 12% w/w, and the like. In some embodiments, the detergent portion comprises a nonionic surfactant in an amount from about 1 to about 30% w/w of the formulation, and a polar solvent in an amount less than 5% w/w of the formulation. In some embodiments, the nonionic surfactant is a poloxamer and the polar solvent is water, an alcohol, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the detergent portion comprises poloxamer, propylene glycol, glycerin, ethanol, 50% w/v sodium hydroxide solution, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the detergent portion comprises glycerin in an amount less than 3% w/w of the formulation.
In the presence of a polar gelling agent, such as water, glycerol, ethylene glycol or formamide, a micellular structure is also often achieved. Typically, the polar agent is in molar excess of the nonionic detergent. The inclusion of the nonionic detergent/polar gelling agent combination results in a more viscous and cream-like or gel-like formulation which is suitable for application directly to the skin. This is typical of the aqueous forms of the composition.
In some embodiments other additives are included such as a gelling agent, a dispersing agent and a preservative. An example of a suitable gelling agent is hydroxypropylcellulose, which is generally available in grades from viscosities of from about 5 cps to about 25,000 cps such as about 1500 cps. All viscosity measurements are assumed to be made at room temperature unless otherwise stated. The concentration of hydroxypropylcellulose may range from about 1% w/w to about 2% w/w of the composition. Other gelling agents are known in the art and can be used in place of, or in addition to hydroxypropylcellulose. An example of a suitable dispersing agent is glycerin. Glycerin is typically included at a concentration from about 5% w/w to about 25% w/w of the composition. A preservative may be included at a concentration effective to inhibit microbial growth, ultraviolet light and/or oxygen-induced breakdown of composition components, and the like. When a preservative is included, it may range in concentration from about 0.01% w/w to about 1.5% w/w of the composition.
Additional components that can also be included in a transdermal delivery formulation are fatty acids, terpenes, lipids, and cationic, and anionic detergents. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises tranexamic acid in an amount less than 2% w/w, 5% w/w, or 10% w/w of the formulation. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises a polar solvent in an amount less than 2% w/w, 5% w/w, 10% w/w, or 20% w/w of the transdermal delivery formulation. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises a humectant, an emulsifier, an emollient, or a combination thereof. In some cases the humectant is propylene glycol. In some cases, the emulsifier is polyglyceryl-4-laurate, cetyl alcohol or Durosoft PK-SG. In some cases, the emollient is derived from almond oil. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises almond oil in an amount less than about 5% w/w. In some embodiments, a formulation further comprises a mixture of thermoplastic polyurethane and polycarbonate in an amount less than about 5% w/w. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises phosphatidylethanolamine in an amount less than about 5% w/w. In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation further comprises an inositol phosphatide in an amount less than about 5% w/w.

Fatty alcohols, fatty acids, fatty esters, are bilayer fluidizers that can be used in some embodiments. Examples of suitable fatty alcohols include aliphatic alcohols, decanol, lauryl alcohol (dodecanol), unolenyl alcohol, nerolidol, 1-nonanol, n-octanol, and oleyl alcohol. Examples of suitable fatty acid esters include butyl acetate, cetyl lactate, decyl N,N-dimethylamino acetate, decyl N,N-dimethylamino isopropionate, diethyleneglycol oleate, diethyl sebacate, diethyl succinate, diisopropyl sebacate, dodecyl N,N-dimethyamino acetate, dodecyl (N,N-dimethylamino)-butyrate, dodecyl N,N-dimethylamino isopropionate, dodecyl 2-(dimethyamino) propionate, E0-5-oleyl ether, ethyl acetate, ethylaceto acetate, ethyl propionate, glycerol monoethers, glycerol monolaurate, glycerol monooleate, glycerol monolinoleate, isopropyl isostearate, isopropyl linoleate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl myristate/fatty acid monoglyceride combination, isopropyl palmitate, methyl acetate, methyl caprate, methyl laurate, methyl propionate, methyl valerate, 1-monocaproyl glycerol, monoglycerides (medium chain length), nicotinic esters (benzyl), octyl acetate, octyl N,N-dimethylamino acetate, oleyl oleate, n-pentyl N-acetylprolinate, propylene glycol monolaurate, sorbitan dilaurate, sorbitan dioleate, sorbitan monolaurate, sorbitan monooleate, sorbitan trilaurate, sorbitan trioleate, sucrose coconut fatty ester mixtures, sucrose monolaurate, sucrose monooleate, tetradecyl N.N-dimethylamino acetate.

Examples of suitable fatty alcohol ethers include a-monoglyceryl ether, E0-2-oleyl ether, E0-5-oleyl ether, E0-10-oleyl ether, ether derivatives of polyglycerols and alcohols, and (1-O-dodecyl-3-O-methyl-2-O-(2′,3′-dihydroxypropyl glycerol).
Examples of completing agents that can be used in some embodiments include β- and γ-cyclodextrin complexes, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (e.g., Carbopol® 934), liposomes, naphthalene diamide diimide, and naphthalene diester diimide.
One or more anti-oxidants can be included, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, proanthocyanidin and a-lipoic acid typically in concentrations of 0.1%-2.5% w/w.
In some applications, it is desirable to adjust the pH of a transdermal delivery formulation to assist in permeation or to adjust the nature of the target compounds in the subject. In some instances, the pH is adjusted to a level of pH 9-11 or 10-11 which can be done by providing appropriate buffers or simply adjusting the pH with base.
A transdermal delivery formulation can include other components that act as excipients or serve purposes other than for muscle performance and recovery. For example, preservatives like antioxidants e.g., ascorbic acid or a-lipoic acid and antibacterial agents may be included. Other components apart from therapeutically active ingredients and components that are the primary effectors of dermal penetration may include those provided for aesthetic purposes such as menthol or other aromatics, and components that affect the physical state of the composition such as emulsifiers, for example, Durosoft®. Typically, these ingredients are present in very small percentages of the compositions. It is understood that these latter ancillary agents are neither therapeutically ingredients nor are they components that are primarily responsible for penetration of the skin. The components that primarily effect skin penetration have been detailed as described above. However, some of these substances have some capability for effecting skin penetration. See, for example, Kunta, J. R. et al, J. Pharm. Sci. (1997) 86:1369-1373, describing penetration properties of menthol.
The application method is determined by the nature of the treatment but may be less critical than the nature of the formulation itself. If the application is to a skin area, it may be helpful in some instances to prepare the skin by cleansing or exfoliation. In some instances, it is helpful to adjust the pH of the skin area prior to application of a transdermal delivery formulation itself. The application of a transdermal delivery formulation may be by simple massaging onto the skin or by use of devices such as syringes or pumps. Patches could also be used. In some cases, it is helpful to cover the area of application to prevent evaporation or loss of a transdermal delivery formulation.
Where the application area is essentially skin, it is helpful to seal-off the area of application subsequent to supplying a transdermal delivery formulation and allowing the penetration to occur so as to restore the skin barrier. A convenient way to do this is to apply a composition comprising linoleic acid which effectively closes the entrance pathways that were provided by the penetrants of the invention. This application, too, is done by straightforward smearing onto the skin area or can be applied more precisely in measured amounts.
In addition to the compositions and formulations of the invention per se, the methods can employ a subsequent treatment with linoleic acid. As transdermal treatments generally open up the skin barrier, which is, indeed, their purpose, it is useful to seal the area of application after the treatment is finished. Thus, treatment with a transdermal delivery formulation may be followed by treating the skin area with a composition comprising linoleic acid to seal off the area of application. The application of linoleic acid is applicable to any transdermal procedure that results in impairing the ability of the skin to act as a protective layer. Indeed, most transdermal treatments have this effect as their function is to allow the active component to pass through the epidermis to the dermis at least, and, if systemic administration is achieved, through the dermis itself.
Additional therapeutic agents can be included in the compositions. For example, hydrocortisone or hydrocortisone acetate may be included in an amount ranging from 0.25% w/w to about 0.5% w/w. Menthol, phenol, and terpenoids, e.g., camphor, can be incorporated for cooling pain relief. For example, menthol can be included in an amount ranging from about 0.1% w/w to about 1.0% w/w.
The compositions containing anesthetics are useful for temporary relief of pain and itching associated with minor burns, cuts, scrapes, skin irritations, inflammation and rashes due to soaps, detergents or cosmetics, or, as noted above, pain associated with removal of fat deposits.
Certain embodiments of a transdermal delivery formulation provided herein may be supplemented with formulation components described in greater detail in the inventor's related applications, including U.S. application Ser. No. 16/132,358 filed Sep. 14, 2018, entitled ‘Methods and Formulations For Transdermal Administration Of Buffering Agents’, International Patent Application No. PCT/US18/51250 filed Sep. 14, 2018, entitled ‘Methods of Administration and Treatment’, and International Patent Application PCT/US18/28017 by Bruce Sand filed Apr. 17, 2018, entitled ‘Parental non-systemic administration of buffering agents for inhibiting metastasis of solid tumors, hyperpigmentation and gout’, all incorporated by reference in their entirety herein.
In some particular embodiments it is desirable to adjust the pH of a transdermal delivery formulation and the pH is adjusted to a level of pH 9-11 or 10-11, which can be done by providing appropriate buffers or simply adjusting the pH with base. In other embodiments, it is desirable to adjust the pH of a transdermal delivery formulation to a level of pH 4-6, which can be done by providing appropriate buffers or simply adjusting the pH with an acid.

The formulation described in this specification may also comprise more than one therapeutic compound as desired for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect the other proteins. A transdermal delivery formulation to be used for in vivo administration can be sterile. This can be accomplished, for instance, without limitation, by filtration through sterile filtration membranes, prior to, or following, preparation of a transdermal delivery formulation or other methods known in the art, including without limitation, pasteurization.
Packaging and instruments for administration may be determined by a variety of considerations, such as, without limitation, the volume of material to be administered, the conditions for storage, whether skilled healthcare practitioners will administer or patient self-compliance, the dosage regime, the geopolitical environment (e.g., exposure to extreme conditions of temperature for developing nations), and other practical considerations.
In certain embodiments, kits can comprise, without limitation, one or more cream or lotion comprising one or more formulations described herein. In various embodiments, the kit can comprise formulation components for transdermal, topical, or subcutaneous administration, formulated to be administered as an emulsion coated patch. In all of these embodiments and others, the kits can contain one or more lotion, cream, patch, or the like in accordance with any of the foregoing, wherein each patch contains a single unit dose for administration to a subject.
Imaging components can optionally be included, and the packaging also can include written or web-accessible instructions for using a transdermal delivery formulation. A container can include, for example, a vial, bottle, patch, syringe, pre-filled syringe, tube or any of a variety of formats well known in the art for multi-dispenser packaging.
In an aspect, the concentration of poloxamer 407 in a transdermal delivery formulation is at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 28.75%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40% or more. In an aspect, the concentration of poloxamer 407 in a transdermal delivery formulation is not more than 10%, not more than 15%, not more than 20%, not more than 25%, not more than 28.75%, not more than 30%, not more than 35%, not more than 40% or more. In an aspect, the concentration of poloxamer 407 in a transdermal delivery formulation is about 10%, about 15%, about 20%, about 25%, at least 28.75%, about 30%, about 35%, about 40% or more. In an aspect, the concentration of poloxamer 407 in a transdermal delivery formulation is from 10% to 40%, is from 15% to 35%, is from 20% to 30%, is from 25% to 30%, is from 28% to 29%.
A transdermal delivery formulation can include mixtures wherein the components interact synergistically and induce skin permeation enhancements better than that induced by the individual components. Synergies between chemicals can be exploited to design potent permeation enhancers that overcome the efficacy limitations of single enhancers. Several embodiments disclosed herein utilize three to five distinct permeation enhancers.
Methods for treating, preventing or ameliorating a disease, disorder, a condition, or a symptom thereof or a condition related thereto are provided herein using a transdermal delivery formulation for transdermal delivery described herein. The methods provided herein may comprise or consist of topically administering one or more of a transdermal delivery formulation described herein to skin of a subject in need thereof. Preferred, but non-limiting embodiments are directed to methods for treating, preventing, inhibiting or ameliorating a disease, disorder, a condition, or a symptom described herein.
A formulation for transdermal delivery may comprise one or more medicaments (e.g., of Table 1) and a penetrant portion.
A transdermal delivery formulation provided herein can be topically administered in any form. For administration for the treatment of skin conditions a sufficient amount of the topical composition can be applied onto a desired area and surrounding skin, for example, in an amount sufficient to cover a desired skin surface. A transdermal delivery formulation can be applied to any skin surface, including for example, facial skin, and the skin of the hands, neck, chest and/or scalp.
In applying a transdermal delivery formulation of the invention, a transdermal delivery formulation itself is simply placed on the skin and spread across the surface and/or massaged to aid in penetration. The amount of transdermal delivery formulation used is typically sufficient to cover a desired surface area. In some embodiments, a protective cover is placed over the formulation once it is applied and left in place for a suitable amount of time, i.e., 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes or more; in some embodiments an hour or two. The protective cover can simply be a bandage including a bandage supplied with a cover that is impermeable to moisture. This essentially locks in the contact of a transdermal delivery formulation to the skin and prevents distortion of a transdermal delivery formulation by evaporation in some cases. The composition may be applied to the skin using standard procedures for application such as a brush, a syringe, a gauze pad, a dropper, or any convenient applicator. More complex application methods, including the use of delivery devices, may also be used, but are not required. In an alternative to administering topically to intact skin, the surface of the skin may also be disrupted mechanically by the use of spring systems, laser powered systems, systems propelled by Lorentz force or by gas or shock waves including ultrasound and may employ microdermabrasion such as by the use of sandpaper or its equivalent or using microneedles or electroporation devices. Simple solutions of the agent(s) as well as the above-listed formulations that penetrate intact skin may be applied using occlusive patches, such as those in the form micro-patches. External reservoirs of the formulations for extended administration may also be employed.
In an alternative to administering topically to intact skin, the surface of the skin may also be disrupted mechanically by the use of spring systems, laser powered systems, use of iontophoresis, systems propelled by Lorentz force or by gas or shock waves including ultrasound and may employ microdermabrasion such as by the use of sandpaper or its equivalent or using microneedles or electroporation devices. Simple solutions of the agent(s) as well as the above-listed transdermal delivery formulations that penetrate intact skin may be applied using occlusive patches, such as those in the form of micro-patches. External reservoirs of the formulations for extended administration may also be employed.
Accordingly, in certain embodiments alternative methods of administering one or more therapeutic compounds or agents (e.g. medicaments) through intact skin are provided. As nonlimiting examples, these alternative methods might be selected from the following lists: on basis of working mechanism, spring systems, laser powered, energy-propelled, Lorentz force, gas/air propelled, shock wave (including ultrasound), on basis of type of load, liquid, powder, projectile, on basis of drug delivery mechanism, nano-patches, sandpaper (microdermabrasion), iontophoresis enabled, microneedles, on basis of site of delivery, intradermal, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injection. Other suitable delivery mechanisms include, without limitation, microneedle drug delivery, such as 3M Systems, Glide SDI (pushes drug as opposed to “firing” drug), MIT low pressure injectors, micropatches (single use particle insertion device), microelectro mechanical systems (MEMS), dermoelectroporation devices (DEP), transderm ionto system (DEP), TTS transdermal therapeutic systems, membrane-moderated systems (drug reservoir totally encapsulated in a shallow compartment), adhesive diffusion-controlled system (drug reservoir in a compartment fabricated from drug-impermeable metallic plastic backing), matrix dispersion type system (drug reservoir formed by homogeneously dispersing drug solids in a hydrophilic or lipophilic polymer matrix molder into medicated disc), and microreservoir system (combination of reservoir and matrix dispersion-type drug delivery system).
The application method is determined by the nature of the treatment but may be less critical than the nature of a transdermal delivery formulation itself. If the application is to a skin area, it may be helpful in some instances to prepare the skin by cleansing or exfoliation. In some instances, it is helpful to adjust the pH of the skin area prior to application of the formulation itself. The application of a transdermal delivery formulation may be by simple massaging onto the skin or by use of devices such as syringes or pumps. Patches could also be used.

An approach to make electrolyte balancing formulations is to avoid electrolyte imbalances by incorporating different buffers in different amount or ratios. Non-limiting examples of buffering agents that can be used together in different amounts or ratios include potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and potassium carbonate. Mixtures of particular buffering agents including 2, 3, 4, 5, or more buffering agents are used depending on the formulation. Further, the relative amounts or ratio of each buffering agent may vary, for example, where the relative amounts are from 1:1.10 w/w; 1:1.15 w/w; 1:1.20 w/w; 1:1.25 w/w; 1:1.30 w/w; 1:1.35 w/w; 1:1.40 w/w; 1:1.45 w/w; 1:1.50 w/w; 1:1.55 w/w; 1:1.60 w/w; 1:1.65 w/w; 1:1.70 w/w; 1:1.75 w/w; 1:1.80 w/w; 1:1.85 w/w; 1:1.90 w/w; 1:1.95 w/w; 1:2 w/w; 1:2.5 w/w; 1:3 w/w; 1:3.5 w/w; 1:4 w/w, 1:4.5 w/w; 1:5 w/w, 1:5.5 w/w; 1:6 w/w; 1:6.5 w/w; 1:7 w/w; 1:8 w/w; 1:9 w/w; or 1:10 w/w.

In some embodiments, a transdermal delivery formulation comprises Aveeno® in an amount from about 20 to about 85% w/w; and sodium bicarbonate in an amount from about 15 to about 45% w/w.
In some embodiments, a suitable transdermal delivery formulation comprises: Siligel™ in an amount less than about 5% w/w; water in an amount from about 10 to about 55% w/w; isopropyl palmitate in an amount from about 0.5 to about 10% w/w; stearic Acid in an amount from about 0.25 to about 5% w/w; Cetyl alcohol in an amount from about 0.25 to about 10% w/w; almond oil in an amount from about 0.5-10% w/w; propylene glycol in an amount from about 0.25 to about 10% w/w; ethanol in an amount less than about 5% w/w; benzyl alcohol in an amount less than about 5% w/w; sodium hydroxide 50% w/v in an amount from about 0.1 to about 5% w/w; and sodium bicarbonate in an amount from about 1 to about 32% w/w.
The surprising effects achieved by the formulations and methods of the present invention are in part attributable to an improved transdermal delivery formulation that enhances delivery of a carbonate salt through the skin. The present transdermal delivery formulations may include a nonionic surfactant. Applicant has found that by employing carbonate salts with particle sizes as disclosed herein, delivered with the penetrants as disclosed herein, and in some embodiments providing a combination of a nonionic surfactant and a polar gelling agent, the penetration capabilities of the carbonate salts of the resulting formulation and the effective level of delivery of the carbonate salts has been enhanced.
In a transdermal delivery formulation, penetrants are based on combinations of an alcohol, such as benzyl alcohol to provide a concentration of 0.5-20% w/w of the final formulation with a transdermal delivery formulation present to provide 25-70% w/w of the formulation. These penetrants are also useful when the agent is a buffer, such as sodium bicarbonate, but less of a transdermal delivery formulation may be required—e.g. less than 12% w/w when the sodium bicarbonate is present at high concentration as disclosed herein.
In some embodiments, the buffering component is any mildly basic compound or combination that will result in a pH of 7-8. In some embodiments, the formulation has a pH of 7-10. Such buffers, in addition to carbonate and/or bicarbonate salts, include lysine buffers, chloroacetate buffers, tris buffers (i.e., buffers employing tris (hydroxymethyl) aminoethane), phosphate buffers and buffers employing non-natural amino acids with similar pKa values to lysine. In some embodiments, the carbonate and/or bicarbonate salt is in an amount from about 7 to about 32% w/w of the formulation. For example, the enantiomers of native forms of such amino acids or analogs of lysine with longer or shorter carbon chains or branched forms thereof. Histidine buffers may also be used. Typically, the concentration of buffer in the compositions is in the range of 10-50% w/w. More typical ranges for sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate or both are 10-35% w/w. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt is in an amount from about 15 to about 32% w/w of the formulation.
Alternatively, the penetrant component comprises a completion component as well as one or more electrolytes sufficient to impart viscosity and viscoelasticity, one or more surfactants and an alcohol. The completion component can be a polar liquid, a non-polar liquid or an amphiphilic substance.
The percentage of carbonate salt in a transdermal delivery formulation will depend upon the amount required to be delivered in order to have a useful effect on treating the disorder. In general, the carbonate salt may be present in the formulation in an amount as low as 1% w/w up to about 50% w/w. Typical concentrations may include 15-32% w/w. Since the required percentage of carbonate salt depends on the frequency of administration, as well as the time allotted for administration for each application, the level of carbonate salt may be varied over a wide range. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt is sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate milled to a particle size less than 200 μm. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt is sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate milled to a particle size less than 70 μm. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt is sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate milled to a particle size less than 70 μm, wherein the sodium bicarbonate is solubilized in the formulation in an amount less than 20% w/w of a transdermal delivery formulation. In some embodiments, the carbonate salt is sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate milled to a particle size less than 70 μm, wherein particle sizes less than about 10 μm have an enhanced penetration thru the skin of a subject. In some embodiments, the sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate are jet milled to a particle size less than about 70 μm. In some embodiments, the sodium bicarbonate is Sodium Bicarbonate USP Grade 3DF that has a particle size distribution less than 70 μm.
A transdermal delivery formulation of the disclosure may be prepared in a number of ways. Typically, the components of a transdermal delivery formulation are simply mixed together in the required amounts. However, it is also desirable in some instances to, for example, carry out dissolution of a carbonate salt and then add a separate preparation containing the components aiding the delivery of the carbonate salts in the form of a carrier. The concentrations of these components in the carrier, then, will be somewhat higher than the concentrations required in a final transdermal delivery formulation. Thus, sodium bicarbonate may first be dissolved in water and then added to a carrier comprising an alcohol, a transdermal delivery formulation and optionally a combination of a nonionic surfactant and polar gelling agent, or of ionic detergent. Alternatively, some subset of these components can first be mixed and then “topped off” with the remaining components either simultaneously or sequentially. The precise manner of preparing a transdermal delivery formulation will depend on the choice of carbonates and the percentages of the remaining components that are desirable with respect to that carbonate salt. In some embodiments, the water is in an amount from about 10 to about 85% w/w, from about 15 to about 50% w/w, or from about 15 to about 45% w/w of the formulation.
The transdermal delivery formulation is a multi-component mixture, whereby the particular concentrations of the penetration enhancers are informed in part by the molecular mass of the sodium bicarbonate, or sodium bicarbonate and the therapeutic agent to be transported. A transdermal delivery formulation enables the sodium bicarbonate and/or therapeutic agent to become bio-available to the target site within minutes of topical administration. A transdermal delivery formulation permit the use of minimal concentrations of therapeutic agents, as little as 1/1000th of concentrations required of alternative processes, while enabling bioactivity and positive clinical outcomes simultaneously. In some embodiments, the transdermal delivery formulation comprises an alcohol in an amount less than 5% w/w of the formulation.

Any aspect or embodiment described herein can be combined with any other aspect or embodiment as disclosed herein.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms of art, notations and other technical and scientific terms or terminology used herein are intended to have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed subject matter pertains. In some cases, terms with commonly understood meanings are defined herein for clarity and/or for ready reference, and the inclusion of such definitions herein should not necessarily be construed to represent a substantial difference over what is generally understood in the art.
Reference in this specification to “one embodiment/aspect” or “an embodiment/aspect” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment/aspect is included in at least one embodiment/aspect of the disclosure. The use of the phrase “in one embodiment/aspect” or “in another embodiment/aspect” in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment/aspect, nor are separate or alternative embodiments/aspects mutually exclusive of other embodiments/aspects. Moreover, various features are described which may be exhibited by some embodiments/aspects and not by others. Similarly, various requirements are described which may be requirements for some embodiments/aspects but not other embodiments/aspects. Embodiment and aspect can in certain instances be used interchangeably.
As used in the specification and claims, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise.
As used herein, the phrases “at least one”, “one or more”, and “and/or” are open-ended expressions that are both conjunctive and disjunctive in operation. For example, each of the expressions “at least one of A, B and C”, “at least one of A, B, or C”, “one or more of A, B, and C”, “one or more of A, B, or C” and “A, B, and/or C” mean A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, or A, B and C together.
As used herein, “or” may refer to “and”, “or,” or “and/or” and may be used both exclusively and inclusively. For example, the term “A or B” may refer to “A or B”, “A but not B”, “B but not A”, and “A and B”. In some cases, context may dictate a particular meaning.
As used herein, the term “about” a number refers to that number plus or minus 10% of that number and/or within one standard deviation (plus or minus) from that number. The term “about” a range refers to that range minus 10% of its lowest value and plus 10% of its greatest value and that range minus one standard deviation its lowest value and plus one standard deviation of its greatest value.
Throughout this application, various embodiments may be presented in a range format. It should be understood that the description in range format is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as an inflexible limitation on the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the description of a range should be considered to have specifically disclosed all the possible subranges as well as individual numerical values within that range. For example, description of a range such as from 1 to 6 should be considered to have specifically disclosed subranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6 etc., as well as individual numbers within that range, for example, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. This applies regardless of the breadth of the range.
The terms “increased”, “increasing”, or “increase” are used herein to generally mean an increase by a statically significant amount relative to a reference level. In some aspects, the terms “increased,” or “increase,” mean an increase of at least 10% as compared to a reference level, for example an increase of at least about 10%, at least about 20%, or at least about 30%, or at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or up to and including a 100% increase or any increase between 10-100% as compared to a reference level. Other examples of “increase” include an increase of at least 2-fold, at least 5-fold, at least 10-fold, at least 20-fold, at least 50-fold, at least 100-fold, at least 1000-fold or more as compared to a reference level.
The terms “decreased”, “decreasing”, or “decrease” are used herein generally to mean a decrease in a value relative to a reference level. In some aspects, “decreased” or “decrease” means a reduction by at least 10% as compared to a reference level, for example a decrease by at least about 20%, or at least about 30%, or at least about 40%, or at least about 50%, or at least about 60%, or at least about 70%, or at least about 80%, or at least about 90% or up to and including a 100% decrease (e.g., absent level or non-detectable level as compared to a reference level), or any decrease between 10-100% as compared to a reference level.
The term “subject” or “patient” refers to any single animal, more preferably a mammal (including such non-human animals as, for example, dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, zoo animals, cows, pigs, sheep, and non-human primates) for which treatment is desired. Most preferably, the patient herein is a human.
The term “medicament,” “active agent” or “active ingredient” refers to a substance, compound, or molecule, which is biologically active or otherwise, induces a biological or physiological effect on a subject to which it is administered to. In other words, “active agent” or “active ingredient” refers to a component or components of a composition to which the whole or part of the effect of the composition is attributed. An active agent can be a primary active agent, or in other words, the component(s) of a composition to which the whole or part of the effect of the composition is attributed. An active agent can be a secondary agent, or in other words, the component(s) of a composition to which an additional part and/or other effect of the composition is attributed.
In an embodiment, a “pharmaceutical composition” is intended to include the combination of an active agent with a carrier, inert or active, in a sterile composition suitable for diagnostic or therapeutic use in vitro, in vivo or ex vivo. In one aspect, the pharmaceutical composition is substantially free of endotoxins or is non-toxic to recipients at the dosage or concentration employed.
In an embodiment, “an effective amount” refers to the amount of the defined component sufficient to achieve the desired chemical composition or the desired biological and/or therapeutic result. In an embodiment, that result can be the desired pH or chemical or biological characteristic, e.g., stability of the formulation. In other embodiments, the desired result is the alleviation or amelioration of the signs, symptoms, or causes of a disease, or any other desired alteration of a biological system. When the desired result is a therapeutic response, the effective amount will vary depending upon the specific disease or symptom to be treated or alleviated, the age, gender and weight of the subject to be treated, the dosing regimen of the formulation, the severity of the disease condition, the manner of administration and the like, all of which can be determined readily by one of skill in the art. A desired effect may, without necessarily being therapeutic, also be a cosmetic effect, in particular for treatment for disorders of the skin or muscles.
In an embodiment, as used herein, the terms “treating,” “treatment” and the like are used herein to mean obtaining a desired pharmacologic and/or physiologic effect. The effect may be prophylactic in terms of completely or partially preventing a disorder or sign or symptom thereof, and/or may be therapeutic in terms of amelioration of the symptoms of the disease or infection, or a partial or complete cure for a disorder and/or adverse effect attributable to the disorder.
The term “bioavailability” refers to the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation. For example, when a medication is administered intravenously, its bioavailability is 100%. However, when a medication is administered via other routes (such as orally), its bioavailability generally decreases due to incomplete absorption and first-pass metabolism. Bioavailability is one of the essential tools in pharmacokinetics, as bioavailability must be considered when calculating dosages for non-intravenous routes of administration.
The term “lecithin organogel” or “LO” refers to a micellar system for the delivery of bioactive agents through the skin. LOs can be composed of hydrated phospholipids and appropriate organic liquid. Several therapeutic agents have been formulated as LOs for their facilitated transport through topical route (for dermal or transdermal effect). The improved topical drug delivery has mainly been attributed to the biphasic drug solubility, the desired drug partitioning, and the modification of skin barrier function by the organogel components.
For purposes herein, the terms lecithin and lecithin organogel are used interchangeably and both refer to, include and cover a lecithin organogel that comprises any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances occurring in animal and plant tissues which are amphiphilic and include a mixture of one or more of glycerophospholipids including phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylinositol, phosphatidylserine, and phosphatidic acid.
Additionally, the use of particular formulations can disrupt the balance of electrolytes and cations, including those such as the Na/K ratio. For example, the administration of formulations containing calcium carbonate can reduce the amount of sodium or other ions which can decrease the potential for reaching a hyponatremic state. Also, the use of calcium carbonate can also increase the serum levels of calcium which can reduce the amount of calcium leeched from the body by high sodium concentrations.
The formulations and methods of use provided herein take these complexities of electrolyte balance into account. One approach utilized herein in making formulations that avoid electrolyte imbalance and cation overload is to use non-metal buffers or buffers without counterions. Suitable buffering agents for these embodiments include Lysine (free base), TRIS, and IEPA.
For transdermal topical administration in particular for agents other than buffer, a suitable formulation typically involves a penetrant that enhances penetration of the skin and is, in some embodiments, composed of chemical permeation enhancers (CPEs). In some cases, it can also include peptides designed to penetrate cells i.e. cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) also known as skin penetrating peptides (SPPs). The formulation can be applied for example in the form of topical lotions, creams, and the like, as described herein. Many known and useful compounds and the like can be found in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (13th Ed), Mack Publishing Company, Easton, PA—a standard reference for various types of administration. As used herein, the term “formulation(s)” means a combination of at least one active ingredient with one or more other ingredient, also commonly referred to as excipients, which may be independently active or inactive. The term “formulation” may or may not refer to a pharmaceutically acceptable composition for administration to humans or animals and may include compositions that are useful intermediates for storage or research purposes.
For purposes herein, a formulation, a formulation for transdermal delivery and a transdermal delivery formulation are each a formulation for transdermal delivery, including, the transdermal delivery of an active ingredient for the treatment of a syndrome and or a disease in an individual.
The section headings used herein are for organizational purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting the subject matter described.
All publications, patents, and patent applications mentioned in this specification are herein incorporated by reference to the same extent as if each individual publication, patent, or patent application was specifically and individually indicated to be incorporated by reference.
The following non-limiting examples are provided for illustrative purposes only in order to facilitate a more complete understanding of representative embodiments now contemplated. These examples are intended to be a mere subset of all possible contexts in which the components of the formulation may be combined.

The Neratinib formulations disclosed herein were tested in rodents to evaluate their effects of transdermal delivery of active reagents. Pharmacokinetics (PK) data from animal models demonstrated the transdermal delivery of active reagents at clinically relevant blood levels in light of the effects of oral delivery based on a list of parameters, including Cmax (peak concentration), AUC (area under the curve), Tmax (the time taken to reach Cmax), T1/2 (elimination half time), AUCinf (area under plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to infinity), AUClast (Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to time of last measurable concentration), and surrogate delivery markers, as shown below.
In this example, five formulations of a topical vancomycin cream was applied to adult mice and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) values for vancomycin were measured.
Each of the five formulations included the following components: Phosphatidylcholine, Isopropyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower) oil, Oleic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Deionized Water, Vancomycin, and Poloxamer 407. The five formulations differed, at least, in the amount of vancomycin present with Formulation C, Formulation 2A, and Formulation 2B comprising 8% vancomycin; Formulation 2C comprising 15% vancomycin; and Formulation 2D comprising 20% vancomycin, such that Formulations C, 2A, and 2B provided a dose of 533.3 mg vancomycin/kg animal; Formulation 2C provided a dose of 1000 mg vancomycin/kg animal; and Formulation 2D provided a dose of 1333.3 mg vancomycin/kg animal, each when administered 100 μL. Formulations C, 2A, and 2B, each comprising 8% vancomycin, differed slightly in the carrier in an effort to determine if the changes improved delivery. One was simply a standard formulation, another was the standard formulation with a basic excipient added to increase the pH, and yet another was the standard formulation with an additional excipient that was added to potentially enhance penetration.
The formulations used in this example were similar (e.g., in the relative amounts of each component) to those described in the previous examples, yet including vancomycin rather than the other listed compound. Generally, a vancomycin formulation comprised the following ingredients and at the listed weight percentages:
1-5%
In this example, six week or older, male mice were used in the study. A region ˜2×3 cm on the backs of each mouse was shaved 24 hours before experiment. Animals were food deprived for one hour before topical administration and for four hours during the study, and with no limit of access to water. Each mouse was topically applied one formulation at a vancomycin dose of 100 μL/animal. The tested topical formulations were rubbed in at the selected dose. After rubbing, the animals were monitored for 15-20 min to avoid licking of the formulations. If licking is was observed, an Elizabethan collar was put on the mouse to prevent licking off the formulation. Three animals per formulation and per time point were used. Blood samples were collected after drug administration in the following time points by cardiopuncture:
Blood samples, approximately 0.5 mL each, were collected from each animal into tubes with coagulation activators. The samples were incubated at RT for ˜40 min and centrifuged (for ˜15 minutes at 3000 xg). The serum was harvested into a single tube for each animal at each time point. The serum samples were frozen (˜−80° C.) after centrifugation and transferred to Bioanalytical Laboratory.
Analyses were performed using an assay kit and multifunctional plate reader Infinite® M1000 PRO (Tecan) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Total vancomycin concentrations were calculated using a standard curve prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol from the kit.
Using the calibration curve, concentrations of vancomycin in the serum samples were calculated. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin Professional 6.3 software package (Pharsight Corporation, USA). The following parameters were estimated as a result of the studies: Cmax (ng/ml for serum or ng/g for tissues)—the maximum concentration; Tmax (h)—the time of maximum concentration; AUC0→∞ (ng*min/ml)—AUCinf—AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity; AUC0→t (ng*min/ml)—AUClast—AUC from time zero to the time of the last non-zero Y value (24 h); Kel (l/h)—first order rate constant associated with the terminal (log-linear) elimination phase; T1/2 (h)—HL_Lambda_z=0.693/Lambda Z; and MRTlast (h)—mean residence time from the time of dosing to the time of the last measurable concentration. Statistical analysis of the concentrations was performed by descriptive statistics. The following values were calculated: Arithmetic mean (Mean); Standard deviation (SD); Standard error of the mean (SEM); Coefficient of variation (CV). For the concentration outliers detecting and excluding Grubbs statistical test was used. (See, the World Wide Web (at) graphpad.com/support/faqid/1598/).

In this example, six formulations of a topical neratinib cream was applied to adult mice and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) values for neratinib were measured.
Each of the six formulations generally included the following components: Phosphatidylcholine, Isopropyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower) oil, Oleic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Deionized Water, neratinib, and Poloxamer 407. The six formulations differed, at least, in the amount of neratinib according to the following: Formulation A: 15% free base neratinib in general formulation, varied emulsion type (˜15 mg neratinib applied when administered 100 μL); Formulation B: 3.5% free base neratinib in general formulation (˜3.5 mg neratinib applied when administered 100 μL); Formulation C: 3.5% free base neratinib in general formulation, varied emulsion type (˜3.5 mg neratinib applied when administered 100 μL); Formulation D: 4.23% neratinib maleate (equivalent to 3.5% free base neratinib when administered 100 μL) in general formulation, varied emulsion type (˜4.23 mg neratinib maleate applied when administered 100 μL); Formulation E: 4.23% neratinib maleate in general formulation (˜4.23 mg neratinib maleate applied when administered 100 μL); Formulation F: DMAX base with 4.23% neratinib maleate added at point of use to prevent degradation (˜4.23 mg neratinib maleate applied when administered 100 μL). In these experiments, two different forms of the active neratinib were tested but blood levels of pure neratinib was assayed. In particular, the 3.5% free base and 4.23% neratinib maleate formulations are understood to have the same amount of pure neratinib in them.
The formulations used in this example were similar (e.g., in the relative amounts of each component) to those described in the previous examples, yet including neratinib rather than the other listed compound. Generally, a neratinib formulation comprised the following ingredients and at the listed weight percentages:
Carthamus Tinctorius
1-5%
Additionally, a formulation for oral gavage was provided; this formulation comprised ˜110 mg/kg neratinib maleate in suspension in 0.5% methylcellulose and span 80 (˜1.65 mg neratinib maleate delivered per os).

Animals were food deprived for one hour before topical administration and for four hours during the study, and with no limit of access to water. Each mouse was topically applied one formulation at a neratinib dose of 100 μL/animal. The tested topical formulations were rubbed in at the selected dose. After rubbing, the animals were monitored for 15-20 min to avoid licking of the formulations. If licking is was observed, an Elizabethan collar was put on the mouse to prevent licking off the formulation. Three animals per formulation and per time point were used. Blood samples were collected after drug administration in the following time points by cardiopuncture:
Blood samples, approximately 0.5 mL each, were collected from each animal into tubes with coagulation activators. The samples were incubated at RT for ˜40 min and centrifuged (for ˜15 minutes at 3000 xg). The serum was harvested into a single tube for each animal at each time point. The serum samples were frozen (˜−80° C.) after centrifugation and transferred to Bioanalytical Laboratory.
Analyses were performed using an assay kit and multifunctional plate reader Infinite® M1000 PRO (Tecan) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Total neratinib concentrations were calculated using a standard curve prepared according to the manufacturer's protocol from the kit.
Using the calibration curve, concentrations of neratinib in the serum samples were calculated. Pharmacokinetic analysis was performed using WinNonlin Professional 6.3 software package (Pharsight Corporation, USA). The following parameters were estimated as a result of the studies: Cmax (ng/ml for serum or ng/g for tissues)—the maximum concentration; Tmax (h)—the time of maximum concentration; AUC0→∞ (ng*min/ml)—AUCinf—AUC from time zero extrapolated to infinity; AUC0→t (ng*min/ml)—AUClast—AUC from time zero to the time of the last non-zero Y value (24 h); Kel (l/h) first order rate constant associated with the terminal (log-linear) elimination phase; T1/2 (h)—HL_Lambda_z=0.693/Lambda Z; and MRTlast (h)—mean residence time from the time of dosing to the time of the last measurable concentration. Statistical analysis of the concentrations was performed by descriptive statistics. The following values were calculated: Arithmetic mean (Mean); Standard deviation (SD); Standard error of the mean (SEM); Coefficient of variation (CV). For the concentration outliers detecting and excluding Grubbs statistical test was used. (See, the World Wide Web (at) graphpad.com/support/faqid/1598/).

In this example, six formulations of a topical doxycycline cream was applied to adult mice and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) values for doxycycline were measured.
Each of the five formulations generally included the following components: Phosphatidylcholine, Isopropyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower) oil, Oleic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Deionized Water, doxycycline, and Poloxamer 407. The five formulations differed, at least, in the amount of doxycycline according to the following: Formulation A1: General formulation with 15.61% doxycycline monohydrate added at point of use to prevent degradation, varied emulsion type (˜7.5 mg pure doxycycline applied when administered 50 μL); Formulation A2: General formulation with 15.61% doxycycline monohydrate added at point of use to prevent degradation (˜7.5 mg pure doxycycline applied when administered 50 μL); Formulation A3: General formulation with 31.22% doxycycline monohydrate added at point of use (˜15 mg pure doxycycline applied when administered 50 μL); Formulation B: General formulation with 17.31% doxycycline hyclate added at point of use (˜7.5 mg pure doxycycline applied when administered 50 μL); and Formulation C: 15.61% doxycycline monohydrate in General formulation, varied emulsion type (˜7.5 mg pure doxycycline applied when administered 50 μL). In these experiments, two different forms of the active doxycycline were tested but blood levels of pure doxycycline was assayed. In particular, the 15.6% doxycycline monohydrate and 17.31% doxycycline hyclate formulations are understood to have the same amount of pure doxycycline in them.
The formulations used in this example were similar (e.g., in the relative amounts of each component) to those described in the previous examples, yet including doxycycline rather than the other listed compound. Generally, a doxycycline formulation comprised the following ingredients and at the listed weight percentages:
1-5%
Additionally, a formulation for oral gavage was provided; this formulation comprised 205 mg/kg doxycycline monohydrate delivered by oral suspension in 0.5% methylcellulose and span 80 (˜3.075 mg pure doxycycline delivered per os).
In this example, six week or older, male mice were used in the study. A region ˜2×3 cm on the backs of each mouse was shaved 24 hours before experiment. Animals were food deprived for one hour before topical administration and for four hours during the study, and with no limit of access to water. Each mouse was topically applied one formulation at a doxycycline dose of 50 μL/animal. The tested topical formulations were rubbed in at the selected dose. After rubbing, the animals were monitored for 15-20 min to avoid licking of the formulations.

In this example, three formulations of a topical cefepime cream was applied to adult mice and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) values for cefepime were measured.
Each of the three formulations included the following components: Phosphatidylcholine, Isopropyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower) oil, Oleic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Deionized Water, Cefepime, and Poloxamer 407. Formulations A, B, and C, each comprising 3% cefepime (approximately 3 mg cefepime applied when administered 100 μL), differed slightly in the carrier in an effort to determine if the changes improved delivery. Formula A was simply a standard formulation, Formula B was the standard formulation with cefepime added at point of use to prevent degradation, and Formula C was the standard formulation with an additional excipient that was added to potentially enhance penetration.
The formulations used in this example were similar (e.g., in the relative amounts of each component) to those described in the previous examples, yet including cefepime rather than the other listed compound. Generally, a cefepime formulation comprised the following ingredients and at the listed weight percentages:
1-5%
2-7%
Additionally, a formulation for intravenous administration was provided; this formulation comprised an IV dose of 3 mg cefepime in 60 μL saline)
In this example, six week or older, male mice were used in the study. A region ˜2×3 cm on the backs of each mouse was shaved 24 hours before experiment. Animals were food deprived for one hour before topical administration and for four hours during the study, and with no limit of access to water.

In this example, three formulations of a topical eletriptan cream was applied to adult mice and plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) values for eletriptan were measured.
Each of the three formulations generally included the following components: Phosphatidylcholine, Isopropyl Palmitate, Stearic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Carthamus Tinctorius (safflower) oil, Oleic Acid, Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate, Deionized Water, Eletriptan, and Poloxamer 407. The three formulations differed, at least, in the amount of eletriptan according to the following: Formulation A: 4% eletriptan hydrobromide in a general formulation (˜2 mg eletriptan applied when administered 50 μL); Formulation B: 8% eletriptan hydrobromide in a general formulation (˜4 mg eletriptan applied when administered 50 μL); and Formulation C: 3.85% eletriptan hydrobromide in a general formulation, varied emulsion type (˜1.92 mg applied when administered 50 μL).
The formulations used in this example were similar (e.g., in the relative amounts of each component) to those described in the previous examples, yet including eletriptan rather than the other listed compound. Generally, an eletriptan formulation comprised the following ingredients and at the listed weight percentages:
1-5%
Additionally, a formulation for oral gavage was provided; this formulation comprised 52 mg/kg eletriptan hydrobromide delivered by oral suspension in 0.5% methylcellulose and span 80 (0.78 mg eletriptan hydrobromide delivered per os).
In this example, six week or older, male mice were used in the study. A region ˜2×3 cm on the backs of each mouse was shaved 24 hours before experiment. Animals were food deprived for one hour before topical administration and for four hours during the study, and with no limit of access to water.

In this example, a patient seeks treatment for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that manifests as joint pain and swelling. A health care professional suggests that the patient try tofacitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor that helps disrupt JAK pathways from inside the cells, which are believed to play a role in inflammation. Conventionally, tofacitinib is prescribed at doses of 11 mg for oral administration.
In this example, tofacitinib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, tofacitinib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Tofacitinib is substituted for ketoconazole.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to a specific joint where the patient has inflammation or pain.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, tofacitinib. In this example, the dose of the active agent is 500 mg so that it is 15-25% of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include less than about 60% w/w of one or more phosphatides, glucose, one or more fatty acids and water. The lotion/cream can be used to treat pain/inflammation from RA and used daily. It can be reapplied as needed.
Celecoxib is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NAID), specifically a COX-2 inhibitor, which relieves pain and swelling (i.e. inflammation). It can be used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. It is conventionally administered orally. A transdermal formulation offers a more practical option.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that manifests as joint pain and swelling. A health care professional suggests that the patient try celecoxib. Conventionally, tofacitinib is prescribed at doses of 200 mg per day administered as a single dose or as 100 mg twice daily for oral administration.
In this example, celecoxib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, celecoxib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to a specific joint where the patient has inflammation or pain.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, celecoxib. In this example, the dose of the active agent is 500 mg so that it is 15-25% of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include less than about 60% w/w of one or more phosphatides, glucose, one or more fatty acids and water. The lotion/cream can be used to treat pain/inflammation from RA and used daily. It can be reapplied as needed.
In this example, a patient seeks cosmetic treatment for a double chin (i.e. convexity or fullness associated with submental fat). A health care professional suggests that the patient try deoxycholic acid. Conventionally, deoxycholic acid is prescribed at doses 10 mg/mL (supplied in 2 mL vials) for localized injection. A single treatment consists of up to a maximum of 50 injections, 0.2 mL each (up to a total of 10 mL), spaced 1 cm apart. Up to 6 single treatments may be administered at intervals no less than 1 month apart
In this example, deoxycholic acid is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, deoxycholic acid is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to the chin at or near the submental fat. The lotion can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent (collectively referred to as the formulation). In this example, the dose of the active agent (i.e. deoxycholic acid) is 10 mg/mL. The transdermal delivery formulation can include less than about 60% w/w of one or more phosphatides, glucose, one or more fatty acids and water.
A transdermal medicament is the ideal for several reasons. Deoxycholic acid topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Topical administration also allows for the patient to apply the drug daily and continue administration until the submental fat adequately dissipates.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for a pattern baldness (i.e. hair loss). A health care professional suggests that the patient try minoxidil, which is marketed under the tradename Rogaine. Conventionally, minoxidil is prescribed at doses 5% w/w for topical administration. It is recommended to be applied daily to the top of the scalp.
In this example, minoxidil is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, minoxidil is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A.
Transdermal administration can be more effective with the formulations described herein. For example, when applied with the transdermal delivery formulation of Table 3A, more of the active agent is absorbed. Minoxidil topical cream can be applied in smaller amounts, thus reducing the side effects. Further, when more of the active agent is absorbed, it can be more effective at promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss.
In this example, a patient seeks cosmetic treatment for facial wrinkles (e.g. crows feet). A health care professional suggests that the patient try botulinum toxin (BT). BT is conventionally supplied as a powder to be reconstituted at the time of treatment into a solution of sterile normal saline (i.e. 0.9% sodium chloride). Dilution volumes range from 1 to 4 ml per 100-unit vial. Based on the product insert, it is recommended that 100-unit vial be diluted in 2.50 ml. The resulting dose is 4.0 units per 0.1 ml. The dose is generally determined according to recommendations provided by the manufacture or distributor.
For Botox®, the approved dose for treatment of forehead lines (20 Units) in conjunction with glabellar lines (20 Units) is 40 Units. For simultaneous treatment of all three areas of the face, the dose is 20+24+20 Units (20 Units for forehead lines, 24 Units for lateral canthal lines, and 20 Units for glabellar lines) for a total dose of 64 Units.
In this example, BT is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, BT is included in the transdermal formulation detailed herein.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to the chin at or near the submental fat. The lotion can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent (collectively referred to as the formulation). In this example, the dose of the active agent (i.e. BT) is 10 mg/mL. The transdermal delivery formulation can include less than about 60% w/w of one or more phosphatides, glucose, one or more fatty acids and water.
A transdermal medicament is the ideal for several reasons. BT topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Rather than return to a healthcare provider's office for injections, the patient can apply the BT to the face periodically, as needed. Topical administration also allows for the patient to apply the drug daily and continue administration until wrinkles dissipate.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for Gout. Gout can often be effectively treated and managed. Prompt diagnosis and initiation of treatment can alleviate acute gout symptoms (i.e. pain, swelling and inflammation in the affected joint). A health care professional suggests that the patient try diclofenac.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NAID) which relieves pain and swelling (i.e. inflammation). It can be used to treat arthritis, acute pain, and menstrual pain and discomfort. It is conventionally administered orally. For acute pain in adults, it is generally prescribed at 18 or 35 milligrams (mg) three times per day. A transdermal formulation offers a more practical option.
In this example, diclofenac is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. It is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to a specific joint where the patient has inflammation or pain.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, diclofenac. In this example, the dose of the active agent is 500 mg so that it is 15-25% of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include less than about 60% w/w of one or more phosphatides, glucose, one or more fatty acids and water. The lotion/cream can be used to treat pain/inflammation from RA and used daily. It can be reapplied as needed.
A transdermal medicament is the ideal for several reasons. The lack of interference with food and alcohol is one advantage. Topical delivery avoids the GI tract. Increased bioavailability permits lower doses which reduce the risk of side effects. Diclofenac topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Topical administration also allows for the patient to increase the volume and incidence of application based on need/symptoms.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for acute migraine with aura. A health care professional suggests that the patient try rimegepant as an alternative to an opiod drug. Rimegepant is non-opioid and non-addictive. Conventionally, it is consumed at a single dose of 75 mg (orally). It is taken once per day non-prophylactically.
Rimegepant can be provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, rimegepant is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in herein.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to an area close to where pain is present. In this example, the patient applies the lotion to the top front and sides of the head.
The lotion can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent (collectively referred to as the formulation). In this example, the dose of the active agent (i.e. rimegepant) is 5% w/w of the solution. A transdermal medicament presents several benefits. The lack of interference with food and alcohol is one advantage. Topical delivery avoids the GI tract and can increase bioavailability. Increased bioavailability permits lower doses which reduce the risk of side effects. Rimegepant topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Topical administration also allows for the patient to increase the volume and incidence of application based on need/symptoms.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for multiple myeloma. The patient has already been treated unsuccessfully with other therapies including bortezomib and lenalidomide. A healthcare provider prescribes carfilzomib. Conventionally, it is administered prescribed at a single dose of 10 mg (intravenously). Sold commercially as Kyprolis, it is a sterile, white to off-white lyophilized powder and is available as a single-dose 10 mg, 30 mg or 60 mg vial.
Carfilzomib can be provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, tofacitinib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed herein.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, carfilzomib. In this example, the active agent is 3% w/w of the solution. There are several benefits to transdermal administration. A topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Rather than return to a healthcare provider's office for injections, the patient can apply the drug at increasing frequencies as tolerated and as directed by a physician.
Ticagrelor is a blood thinner that can help reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack and other heart problems. In this example, a patient has suffered a heart attack. After recovery, a health can provider prescribes ticagrelor to help reduce the risk of a future heart attack or similar episode. Conventionally, ticagrelor is administered at a dose of 90 mg taken twice per day.
In this example, ticagrelor is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, ticagrelor is included in the transdermal formulation detailed herein. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to a near the arteries around the chest/heart region for increased bioavailability
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, ticagrelor. In this example, ticagrelor is 10% w/w of the solution. The lotion/cream can be applied daily and/or as recommended by a physician. It can be reapplied as needed.
In this example, a patient is diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The patient is treated with sorafenib but there is no significant improvement. A healthcare provider recommends regorafenib as an alternative treatment. The patient is administered 160 mg to be taken orally once daily.
Regorafenib can be provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, regorafenib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed herein.
Transdermal administration allows for the patient to apply the drug daily and continue administration at the discretion of a physician. It also obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. The lotion can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent (collectively referred to as the formulation). In this example, the active agent (i.e., regorafenib) is 15% of the lotion.
In this example, a patient is diagnosed with gastrointestinal stromal tumors. A healthcare provider recommends imatinib as an alternative treatment. The patient is administered 400 mg to be taken once daily. Conventionally, it is taken orally.
Imatinib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, imatinib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in herein.
Transdermal administration can be more effective with the formulations described herein. For example, when applied with the transdermal delivery formulation, the active agent is absorbed without being subjected to the gastrointestinal tract. Imatinib topical cream can be applied in small amounts, thus reducing the side effects. Further, when more of the active agent is absorbed, it can be more effective at reducing tumor size/growth.
In this example, a patient is diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia. The patient suffers from side-effects when administered oral iron supplements. A health care professional suggests that the patient try ferric carboxymaltose (FC). FC is conventionally administered as an injection (750 mg).
FC can be provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, FC is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in herein.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into the blood stream. Transdermal administration also allows for the patient to apply the drug daily and continue regular administration at the discretion of a physician. It also obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. In this example, the active agent (i.e., FC) is 30% of the formulation.
In this example, a patient is diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The patient has tried self-care (e.g., heating pads) NSAID's and various therapies with little or no effect. A health care professional suggests that the patient try methotrexate. It is conventionally administered at 7.5 mg once per week (orally).
Methotrexate can be provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, methotrexate is included in the transdermal formulation detailed below.
Erlotinib is an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase that selectively and reversibly inhibits EGFR-associated intracellular autophosphorylation of tyrosine kinase. Erlotinib inhibits purified EGFR tyrosine kinase and EGFR autophosphorylation intact cells with 50% inhibition concentration IC50 values of 2 nmol/L and 20 nmol/L respectively. Erlotinib competes for the ATP-binding sits on the intracellular domain of EGFR resulting in the inhibition of downstream signaling pathway involved in angiogenesis, cell propagation and cell survival. Erlotinib concentration-dependently inhibits EGFR-mediated propagation signals transduction, displays prominent anti-tumor activity against neoplasms harboring EGFR expression and exhibits a tolerable toxicologic profile.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for pancreatic cancer. A health care professional prescribes erlotinib. Conventionally, it is administered orally at 100 mg/day with gemcitabine (a chemotherapy medication).
In this example, erlotinib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, erlotinib is included in the transdermal formulation as described in Table 3A above.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to the abdominal area near the pancreas.
The lotion can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent (collectively referred to as the formulation). In this example, the active agent (i.e., erlotinib) is 10% w/w of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include phosphatidylcholine, isopropyl palmitate, stearic acid, benzyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-4 laurate and poloxamer 407.
A transdermal medicament is the ideal for several reasons. The lack of interference with food and alcohol is one advantage. Topical delivery avoids the GI tract. Increased bioavailability permits lower doses which reduce the risk of side effects. Erlotinib topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Topical administration also allows for the patient to increase the volume and incidence of application based on need/symptoms.
Everolimus is a medication used as an immunosuppressant to prevent rejection of organ transplants and in the treatment of renal cell cancer and other tumors. Much research has also been conducted on everolimus and other mTOR inhibitors as targeted therapy for use in a number of cancers.
In this example, a patient seeks treatment for renal cell cancer. A health care professional prescribes everolimus. Everolimus works by interfering with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed by the body. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected, other unwanted effects will also occur. Conventionally, tofacitinib is administered orally in solution (i.e., water) at a dose of 10 mg per day.
In this example, everolimus is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, everolimus is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A.
Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to the abdominal region of the patient, near the kidneys.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, everolimus. In this example, the active agent is 1% of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include phosphatidylcholine, isopropyl palmitate, stearic acid, benzyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-4 laurate and poloxamer 407.
Primary Myelofibrosis is a condition characterized by the buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the bone marrow, the tissue that produces blood cells. Because of the fibrosis, the bone marrow is unable to make enough normal blood cells. Ruxolitinib targets and binds to the tyrosine kinase receptors and inhibits Janus Associated Kinases (JAK1 and JAK2) which mediate the signaling of a number of cytokines and growth factors that are important for hematopoiesis and immune function. By binding to these receptors, ruxolitinib blocks important pathways that promote cell division. Myelofibrosis (MF) is a myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) known to be associated with dysregulated JAK1 and JAK2 signaling. Patients with MF who either carry the JAK2 V617 mutation or does not have the JAK2 V617F mutation may both respond to ruxolitinib. It is conventionally administered orally. A transdermal formulation offers a more practical option.
In this example, a health care professional prescribes ruxolitinib to a patient suffering from primary myelofibrosis. Conventionally, ruxolitinib is prescribed orally at doses ranging from 5 mg to 20 mg PO BID (e.g. 20 mg PO BID for a patient with a platelet count >200×109/L).
In this example, ruxolitinib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. Ruxolitinib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption into a specific area. For example, a lotion can be applied to specific areas (e.g. near bones) where the fibrosis is most apparent.
The lotion or cream can include a transdermal delivery formulation and the active agent, ruxolitinib. In this example, the agent is 2% of the solution. The transdermal delivery formulation can include phosphatidylcholine, isopropyl palmitate, stearic acid, benzyl alcohol, polyglyceryl-4 laurate and poloxamer 407.
Carfilzomib, sold under the brand name Kyprolis, is an anti-cancer medication acting as a selective proteasome inhibitor. Carfilzomib covalently irreversibly binds to and inhibits the chymotrypsin-like activity of the 20S proteasome, an enzyme that degrades unwanted cellular proteins. Carfilzomib displays minimal interactions with non-proteasomal targets, thereby improving safety profiles over bortezomib. Inhibition of proteasome-mediated proteolysis results in a build-up of polyubiquitinated proteins, which may cause cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and inhibition of tumor growth.
In this example, a health care professional prescribes carfilzomib to a patient suffering from multiple myeloma. Conventionally, it is administered intravenously (20 mg/m2) over 2 to 10 minutes, on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (Days 17 to 28).
In this example, carfilzomib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. Carfilzomib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption without the need to visit a clinic for intravenous administration. A transdermal lotion can be applied twice daily to ensure a more consistent levels of the agent circulate through the bloodstream.
Ganetespib is a HSP90 inhibitor. The inhibition of heat shock protein 90, which leads to the simultaneous degradation of multiple proteins involved in oncogenic signaling pathways, is a strategy to treat a variety of cancer types.
In this example, a health care professional prescribes carfilzomib to a patient suffering from multiple myeloma. Conventionally, it is administered intravenously (20 mg/m2) over 2 to 10 minutes, on two consecutive days, each week for three weeks (Days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15, and 16), followed by a 12-day rest period (Days 17 to 28).
In this example, carfilzomib is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. Carfilzomib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. Transdermal administration allows direct absorption without the need to visit a clinic for intravenous administration. A transdermal lotion can be applied twice daily to ensure a more consistent levels of the agent circulate through the bloodstream.
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy and its incidence has increased in recent decades. In this example, a patient is treated with ganetespib to treat thyroid cancer. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, ganetespib is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A.
Transdermal administration can be more effective with the formulations described herein. For example, when applied with the transdermal delivery formulation of Table 3A, more of the active agent is absorbed. Ganetespib topical cream can be applied to the neck, near the patient's thyroid, thus reducing the side effects
Transdermal administration can be more effective with the formulations described herein. For example, when applied with the transdermal delivery formulation of Table 3A, more of the active agent is absorbed. Ganetespib topical cream can be applied to the neck, near the patient's thyroid, thus reducing the side effects.
Obatoclax Mesylate (GX15-070) is an antagonist of Bel-2. Currently, obatoclax is a clinical stage drug candidate that has been proposed to target and inhibit prosurvival members of the Bel-2 family, and thereby contribute to cancer cell lethality. It has been proposed to treat various cancers including leukemia, lymphoma, myelofibrosis.
In this example, a health care professional prescribes obatoclax to a patient suffering from leukemia. Obatoclax is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. Obatoclax is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A. A transdermal lotion can be applied twice daily to ensure a more consistent levels of the agent circulate through the bloodstream.
Obatoclax is provided in a transdermal lotion or cream. The formulations described herein allow for effective transdermal administration of the compound. In this example, obatoclax is included in the transdermal formulation detailed in Table 3A.
A transdermal medicament is the ideal for several reasons. Obatoclax topical cream obviates the need for the invasive nature and side effects of the injection of drugs. Rather than return to a healthcare provider's office for injections, the patient can apply the agent directly through the skin. Topical administration also allows for the patient to apply the drug daily (or as prescribed) without the side-effects or oral consumption.
Various transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are able to successfully deliver in vivo (at relatively high bioavailability) a range of actives that are either entirely insoluble, at least partially, or majority insoluble. This ability to deliver insoluble actives is contrary to the commonly-held belief that actives generally need to be solubilized for transdermal drug delivery.
There are a number of pharmacologically active medicaments which are poorly soluble in in aqueous media and/or acidic solutions which have proved challenging to deliver to a subject either transdermally or orally, due to the inability of the drug to be absorbed by the small intestine, or inability of the medicament to be solubilized in a transdermal formulation and penetrate the skin. In general, it has previously been thought that pharmacologically active medicaments must be wholly or partially dissolved in an aqueous solution in order to be absorbed by a subject and achieve a reasonably high bioavailability in a subject. In the case of orally administered medicaments, it is thought a drug must be wholly or partially soluble in an aqueous medium in order dissolved in the stomach and absorbed by the small intestine. In the case of transdermally administered drugs, it is thought that a medicament must be wholly or mostly soluble in the formulation in order to penetrate the skin and achieve a high or relatively high bioavailability in a subject.
Examples such medicaments which are poorly soluble in aqueous medium are drugs which fall into Class 2 and Class 4 of the Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS). The BCS is a scientific framework which predicts in vivo drug performance via in vitro measurements of solubility and permeation. Solubility is the extent a drug can dissolve in gastrointestinal (GI) fluid and permeation is the extent solubilized drug can pass across membranes of cells lining the GI tract. Medicaments have a high solubility according to BCS if less than 250 mL of an aqueous media (pH between 1-7.5) dissolves the highest API prescription dose. Class 2 drugs and Class 4 drugs have low solubilities as they do not meet this solubility criteria. Class 2 drugs have high permeability whereas class 4 drugs have low permeability.
Various transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are effective in delivering class 2 and class 4 insoluble molecules at a high or relatively high bioavailability in a subject. In this example, mice were transdernally treated with formulations of the present disclosure comprising essentially insoluble class 2 or class 4 molecules. Surprisingly, the essentially insoluble molecules were delivered at a high or relatively high bioavailability in the mice. The following molecules were included in a transdermal formulation comprising one of Hydrocortisone, Sildenafil Citrate, Cyclosporine, Eletriptan, Neratinib Maleate, or Free Base Neratinib. Notably, the following molecules normally do not solubilize in aqueous medium at >2% (hydrocortisone), >1% (sildenafil citrate, cyclosporine, or apixaban), >0.1% (neratinib maleate or neratinib free base), or >0.002% (Eetriptan). Also, in this example, other molecules were delivered at an improved bioavailability in mice. These molecules comprising sodium bicarbonate (which can achieve an 9% in solution); apixaban (which is soluble at <1% in aqueous medium); vancomycin (Formulation A which was can form a 71% solution, Formulation B which can form a 35% solution); or doxycycline (Formulation A which was can form a <1% solution, Formulation B which can form a 15% solution). These results are summarized in the below Table.
These data demonstrate that transdermal formulations of the present disclosure can result in systemic administration of an active agent and especially a relative insoluble active agent. These data are relevant to delivery of the insoluble molecules described in the above table described elsewhere (with respect to the Class 2 molecules and Class 4 molecules). In particular, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure can provide a higher concentration of a molecule (especially one that is insoluble) and can provide systemic administration for a molecule that would be poorly absorbed by the gut epithelium. Together, molecules that are not suitable for enteral delivery or are suitable but at a low dosage can be systemically administered via transdermal formulations of the present disclosure.
Accordingly, any herein-disclosed transdermal formulation can provide systemic administration of a medicament via transdermal delivery of the medicament.
Additionally, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure are able to deliver an active agent into an animal's bloodstream and thereby provide systemic administration of the agent. Here, sodium bicarbonate was used as an illustrative active agent. Transdermal formulations comprising sodium bicarbonate allowed penetration of the active agent thru the skin and into the blood stream. The circulating sodium bicarbonate was removed from blood by the kidneys and affected the pH of the resulting urine. In in vivo experiments, mice treated transdermally with formulations comprising sodium bicarbonate had urine with a higher pH than control mice. More specifically, untreated mice had a urine pH of 5.88 and mice provided an oral 9% sodium bicarbonate solution had a urine pH of 6.05. On the other hand, mice transdermally administered one of four formulations (numbered Candidate 1, Candidate 2, Candidate 3, and Candidate 4) according to the present disclosure had a urine pH of 7.05, 7.43, 8.0, and 8.68 respectively.
The formulation of Candidate 1 comprised the following:
The mice were dosed 1110 μl (3×2×185 μl)/day with the formulation of Candidate 1
The formulation of Candidate 2 comprised the following:
The mice were dosed 150 μl (3×50 μl)/day with the formulation of Candidate 2.
The formulation of Candidate 3 comprised the following:
The mice were dosed 150 μl (3×50 μl)/day with the formulation of Candidate 3.
The formulation of Candidate 4 comprised the following:
The mice were dosed 150 μl (3×50 μl)/day with the formulation of Candidate 4.
These data demonstrate that transdermal formulations of the present disclosure can result in systemic administration of an active agent, e.g., any medicament disclosed in Table 1. These data are relevant to delivery of the insoluble molecules described in Example 32 and described elsewhere (with respect to the Class 2 molecules and Class 4 molecules). In particular, the transdermal formulations of the present disclosure can provide a higher concentration of a molecule (especially one that is insoluble) and can provide systemic administration for a molecule that would be poorly absorbed by the gut epithelium. Together, molecules that are not suitable for enteral delivery or are suitable but at a low dosage can be systemically administered via transdermal formulations of the present disclosure.
Accordingly, any herein-disclosed transdermal formulation can provide systemic administration of a medicament via transdermal delivery of the medicament.
