Description:
This application is a continuation of pending U.S. application Ser. No. 10/383,198, which claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/421,896, filed on Oct. 29, 2002 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/409,762, filed on Sep. 11, 2002, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
The invention relates to administration forms for oral applications of prodrugs and in particular prodrugs of the active substance ethyl 3-[(2-{[4-(hexyloxycarbonylamino-imino-methyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-yl-amino]-propionate and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.
The invention relates to an administration form for the oral application of the active substance ethyl 3-[(2-{[4-(hexyloxycarbonylamino-imino-methyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-yl-amino]-propionate and the pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof. This active substance having the chemical formula
is already known from WO 98/37075, which discloses compounds with a thrombin-inhibiting effect and the effect of prolonging the thrombin time, under the name 1-methyl-2-[N-[4-(N-n-hexyloxycarbonylamidino)phenyl]-amino-methyl]-benzimidazole-5-yl-carboxylic acid-N-(2-pyridyl)-N-(2-ethoxycarbonylethyl)-amides. The compound of formula I is a double prodrug of the compound
i.e. the compound of formula I is only converted into the active compound, namely the compound of formula II, after entering the body. The main indication for the compound of chemical formula I is the post-operative prevention of deep-vein thrombosis.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic structure of the pharmaceutical composition.
FIG. 2 shows the bioavailability of BIBR 1048.
The aim of the invention is to provide an improved formulation for oral use of the compound of formula I (which is also referred to hereinafter as the “active substance”).
Surprisingly it has now been found that the use of pharmaceutically acceptable organic acids with a water solubility of >1 g/250 ml at 20° C., preferably >1 g/160 ml at 25° C., in solid oral preparations leads to a significantly improved formulation of ethyl 3-[(2-{[4-(hexyloxycarbonylamino-imino-methyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-yl-amino]-propionate as well as the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
Pharmaceutically suitable acids for the purposes of this invention are for example tartaric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, citric acid, malic acid, glutamic acid and aspartic acid including the hydrates and acid salts thereof. Particularly suitable for the purposes of this invention are tartaric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid and citric acid.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is a multiparticulate preparation in which the individual particles are constructed as in FIG. 1.
FIG. 1 shows the diagrammatic structure of the pharmaceutical composition by means of a section through a pellet suitable for the preparation of the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention. The roughly bead-shaped/spherical core region of this pellet contains/consists of the pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid. Then follows a layer, the so-called insulating layer, which separates the acid core from the layer containing the active substance. The insulating layer is in turn surrounded by the equally spherically shaped layer of active substance which may in turn be enclosed in a coating which increases the abrasion resistance and shelf life of the pellets.
One advantage of the formulation thus constructed is the spatial separation of the organic acid and active substance by the insulating layer. A further advantage of the construction of the pellets as described above is the fact that the organic acid does not go into solution until after the preparation has been taken and then produces an acid microclimate in which the active substance can dissolve.
The core material used is a pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid with a water solubility of >1 g/250 ml at 20° C., such as e.g. tartaric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, citric acid, malic acid, glutamic acid and aspartic acid including the hydrates and acid salts thereof, to which a small amount of 1 to 10% by weight, preferably 3 to 6% by weight of a suitable binder is optionally added. The use of a binder may be necessary, for example, if the starting acids are produced by a pan build-up process. If the method used is extrusion or spheronisation, other technological adjuvants such as microcrystalline cellulose will be needed instead of binders. It is also possible to use pure (100%) acid as the starting material if it can be obtained in a sufficiently narrow range of particle sizes. The pharmaceutically acceptable organic acids used are preferably tartaric acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid or citric acid; tartaric acid is particularly preferred. As binder, it is possible to use gum arabic or a partially or totally synthetic polymer selected from among the hydroxypropylcelluloses, hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses, methylcelluloses, hydroxyethylcelluloses, carboxymethylcelluloses, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, the copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, or combinations of these polymers; gum arabic is preferred. The spherical core material preferably has an average diameter of 0.4-1.5 mm. The content of the pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid is usually between 30 and 100% in the core material, corresponding to an amount of between 20 and 90%, preferably between 20 and 80% in the finished pellet (i.e. in the pharmaceutical composition).
To increase the durability of the finished product it is advantageous to coat the core material before the application of the active substance with an insulating layer based on a water-soluble, pharmaceutically acceptable polymer. Examples of such water-soluble polymers include for example gum arabic or a partially or totally synthetic polymer selected from among the hydroxypropylcelluloses, hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses, methylcelluloses, hydroxyethylcelluloses, carboxymethylcelluloses, polyvinylpyrrolidone, the copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate, or combinations of these polymers. Gum arabic or a hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is preferably used. If desired, the coating with the water-soluble, pharmaceutically acceptable polymer may be carried out with the addition of suitable plasticisers, separating agents and pigments, such as for example triethylcitrate, tributylcitrate, triacetin, polyethyleneglycols (plasticisers), talc, silicic acid (separating agents), titanium dioxide or iron oxide pigments (pigments).
The active substance layer contains the active substance ethyl 3-[(2-{[4-(hexyloxycarbonylamino-imino-methyl)-phenylamino]-methyl}-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-5-carbonyl)-pyridin-2-yl-amino]-propionate (BIBR 1048) or one of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as well as binders and optionally separating agents. A preferred salt of the active substance is the mesylate (methanesulphonate) of the compound of formula I. Suitable binders include for example hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate or combinations of these polymers. Preferably, hydroxypropylcellulose or copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate are used. The addition of separating agents such as e.g. talc or silicic acid serves to prevent the particles from aggregating during the process. The active substance content is 5 to 60%, preferably 10 to 50% of the pharmaceutical composition.
The optional outermost layer, which serves to reduce any increased abrasion during packing into capsules and/or to increase the shelf life, consists of pharmaceutically conventional film-forming agents, plasticisers and optionally pigments. Suitable film-forming agents include for example hydroxypropyl-cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, polymers and copolymers of acrylic and methacrylic acid and the esters thereof, or combinations of these polymers. Suitable plasticisers include inter alia triethylcitrate, tributylcitrate, triacetin or polyethyleneglycols. The pigments used may be e.g. titanium dioxide or iron oxide pigments. Preferably, the outer coating consists of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and/or methylcellulose, optionally with the addition of polyethyleneglycols as plasticisers.
The pellets may be prepared by the method described hereinafter:
The acid-containing core material consists either of crystals of the particular organic acid used or, more advantageously, of roughly spherical particles of the desired size containing a large amount of organic acid, which can be produced by methods known and established in pharmaceutical technology. The core material may be produced, in particular, by pan methods, on pelleting plates or by extrusion/spheronisation. Then the core material thus obtained may be divided into fractions of the desired diameter by screening. Suitable core material has an average diameter of 0.4 to 1.5 mm, preferably 0.6 to 0.8 mm.
First, the insulating layer is applied to this acid-containing core material. This can be done by conventional methods, e.g. by applying an aqueous dispersion of the water-soluble, pharmaceutically acceptable polymer, optionally with the addition of plasticisers, separating agents and/or pigments, in a fluidised bed, in coating pans or in conventional film coating apparatus. If necessary the product can then be screened again.
Then the active substance is applied from a dispersion containing binder and optionally separating agent. The volatile dispersant is removed during or after the process by drying. Suitable binders in the dispersion may be for example hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate or combinations of these polymers. Preferably, hydroxypropylcellulose or copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate are used. Suitable separating agents include e.g. talc or silicic acid; preferably, talc is used. The dispersants may be for example ethanol, 2-propanol, acetone or mixtures of these solvents with one another or with water, preferably 2-propanol. The application of active substance to the core material may be carried out by established methods known in pharmaceutical technology, e.g. in coating pans, conventional film coating apparatus or by the fluidised bed method. Then a further screening process may be carried out.
To reduce any increased abrasion during transfer into capsules or to increase the shelf life the system may finally be coated with a coating of a pharmaceutically conventional film forming agent, plasticiser and optionally pigment. This may be done by conventional methods as mentioned earlier in the description of the application of the insulating layer.
When core material with an average diameter of 0.4-1.5 mm is used, the process described above produces pellets containing active substance, which can then be packed into hard capsules, for example. To do this, a number of these units corresponding to the required dosage are packed into hard capsules in a standard capsule filling machine. Suitable hard capsules include, for example, hard gelatine capsules or hard capsules of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC); HPMC capsules are preferred. The active substance content of the pharmaceutical composition is 5 to 60%, preferably 10 to 50%; the content of the pharmaceutically acceptable organic acid is usually between 20 and 90%, preferably between 20 and 80%.
Unless otherwise stated, percentages specified are always percent by weight. All the data on the active substance content relate to the active substance base of formula I (not to a specific salt) unless otherwise stated.
Clinical Trials
In preliminary tests on test subjects with conventional tablets containing the compound of formula I it had been established that highly variable plasma levels occurred, with individual cases of malabsorption. The variability of the plasma level patterns is significantly lower after the administration of the compound of formula I as an orally administered solution; there were no cases of malabsorption under these circ*mstances.
Tests have shown that the compound of formula I dissolves relatively well in water at low pH levels, whereas at pH levels above 5 in accordance with the definition of the European Pharmacopoeia it is virtually insoluble. Therefore the volunteers in one branch of the clinical trials were given pantoprazole, which serves to produce an elevated gastric pH.
For example, the pharmaceutical compositions according to Examples 1 and 2 were tested for their bioavailability by comparison with a conventional tablet. To do this, the formulation prepared according to Example 1 containing 50 mg of active substance base per capsule was clinically tested for its bioavailability on a total of 15 volunteers. In one branch of the treatment, the volunteers were given the composition by mouth (=orally) on an empty stomach without any pre-treatment. In another branch of the treatment the same volunteers were pre-treated, prior to the oral administration of the composition, with 40 mg of pantoprazole b.i.d. (=twice a day) for three days by mouth to increase the gastric pH; the treatment with pantoprazole was continued during the administration of the formulation according to the invention.
The degree of absorption was determined by measuring the quantity of active metabolite of formula II excreted in the urine.
The relative bioavailability after pre-treatment with pantoprazole was 94% on average compared with administration without any pre-treatment.
Under comparable conditions of administration, the relative bioavailability (based on the area under the plasma concentration/time curve) of a tablet containing 50 mg of active substance, developed and produced according to the prior art and containing no water-soluble organic acid, after corresponding pre-treatment with pantoprazole, is 18%. Table I shows the precise composition of the tablet used:
TABLE I | ||
Ingredient | mg/tablet | |
Core | mesylate of the compound of form. I | 57.7 | |
lactose monohydrate | 58.0 | ||
microcrystalline cellulose | 48.3 | ||
crospovidone | 3.4 | ||
magnesium stearate | 2.6 | ||
Film coating | polyethyleneglycol 6000 | 0.56 | |
titanium dioxide | 0.80 | ||
talc | 0.64 | ||
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose | 1.92 | ||
iron oxide yellow | 0.08 | ||
Total | 174.0 | ||
The relative bioavailability was thus improved by about a factor of 5 by using the formulation according to the invention.
The formulation prepared according to Example 2 containing 50 mg of active substance base per capsule was also clinically tested for its bioavailability on a total of 15 volunteers. In one branch of the treatment, the volunteers were given the composition by mouth on an empty stomach without any pre-treatment. In another branch of the treatment the same volunteers were pre-treated, prior to the oral administration of the composition, with 40 mg of pantoprazole b.i.d. for three days by mouth to increase the gastric pH; the treatment with pantoprazole was continued during the administration of the formulation according to the invention.
The degree of absorption was determined by measuring the quantity of the active metabolite of formula II excreted in the urine.
The relative bioavailability after pre-treatment with pantoprazole was 76% on average compared with administration without any pre-treatment.
Under comparable conditions of administration, the relative bioavailability (based on the area under the plasma concentration/time curve) of a tablet containing 50 mg of active substance, developed and produced according to the prior art and containing no water-soluble organic acid, after corresponding pre-treatment with pantoprazole, is 18%. Table II shows the precise composition of the tablet used:
TABLE II | ||
Ingredient | mg/tablet | |
Core | mesylate of the compound of form. I | 57.7 | |
lactose monohydrate | 58.0 | ||
microcrystalline cellulose | 48.3 | ||
crospovidone | 3.4 | ||
magnesium stearate | 2.6 | ||
Film coating | polyethyleneglycol 6000 | 0.56 | |
titanium dioxide | 0.80 | ||
talc | 0.64 | ||
hydroxypropylmethylcellulose | 1.92 | ||
iron oxide yellow | 0.08 | ||
Total | 174.0 | ||
The relative bioavailability of the active substance compared with conventional formulations was thus improved by about a factor of 4 by using the formulation according to the invention. The bioavailability of the two formulations according to the invention compared with the tablet described above with and without the simultaneous administration of pantoprazole is graphically illustrated in FIG. 2.
The clinical trials show another advantage of the preparation according to the invention containing the compound of formula I, which is that it ensures adequate bioavailability of the active substance, better than that of a conventional pharmaceutical preparation and largely independent of the gastric pH, it reduces fluctuations in the bioavailability of the active substance and it prevents malabsorption. Another advantageous property of the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention is the fact that it is suitable for all patients, i.e. including those in whom the gastric pH is increased by normal physiological variability, by disease or by co-medication with drugs which raise the gastric pH.
The dosage for oral use is expediently 25 to 300 mg of the active substance base (per capsule), preferably 50 to 200 mg, most preferably 75 to 150 mg of the active substance base, in each case once or twice a day.
The preferred ratio of acid to active substance is about 0.9:1 to about 4:1, most preferably between about 1:1 and 3:1. Preferably, at least one equivalent of acid is used per mol of the compound of formula I. The upper limit of about 4:1 (acid to active substance) is generally determined by the maximum acceptable size of the preparation in the desired dosages (number of pellets per capsule).
