Abstract

The invention relates to a transdermal plaster with progesterone A-specific ligands (PRASL) as an active ingredient, consisting of a rear layer, at least one adhesive layer which adheres thereto and which contains an active ingredient and which is based on a silicon polymer, polyisobutylene polymer (PIB), a polyacrylate polymer or a styrene block copolymer with butadiene or isoprene (SBS or SIS), in addition to a removable protective film. The inventive transdermal therapeutical plaster containing PRASL, optionally combined with estrogens, is suitable for hormone replacement therapy and fertility control.

Description

Transdermal plaster with progesterone A-specific ligands (PRASL) as an active ingredient (Description) Technical field The invention relates to a transdermal patch with progesterone A-specific ligands (PRASL) as active ingredient.

The transdermal therapeutic patch according to the invention, comprising PRASL where appropriate also in combination with oestrogens, is suitable for hormone replacement therapy and for fertility control.

Prior art Transdermal administration of PRASL is disclosed in the patent literature WO 03/075915 Al. In this case, this represents - a generally known transdermal patch which optionally comprises a penetration enhancer, or - an emulsion, an ointment, a cream or a gel.
The majority of known transdermal patches are passive matrix systems consisting of a backing layer which is substantially impermeable by water vapour and impermeable by the active ingredient, of an active ingredient-containing adhesive layer and of a removable protective layer. In the passive matrix systems disclosed to date, the active ingredient is moreover present completely dissolved in the adhesive layer.
This form of preparation may, however, also be disadvantageous.
The release of dissolved active ingredients from the patch matrix proceeds non-linearly and approaches, in CONFIRMATION COPY

_ 2 _ accordance =with Fick's second law, asymptotically a maximum value. This maximum value is limited inter alia by the saturation concentration of the active ingredient in the matrix. This means that the amount of active ingredient released from the patch to the skin per unit time decreases as the application time progresses. However, linear release of the active ingredient over the entire period of application would be very desirable especially for a hormone-containing pharmaceutical form which is to be used over a prolonged period of several days, because this corresponds much more to the physiological secretion of hormones. Such kinetics of release cannot be achieved with transdermal patches disclosed to date.
The Patent WO 03/075915 Al further proposes the use of an emulsion, of an ointment, of a cream or of a gel.
The use of an emulsion, of an ointment, of a cream or of a gel as administration form for a PRASL-containing pharmaceutical form does not, however, appear very suitable for various reasons. Thus, open use of a very potent medicinal substance (PRASL induces pharmacological effects in daily doses of as little as pg upwards) must be regarded as problematic.
Transdermal gels are normally applied to large areas of 25 skin (100-200 cm2). It is known that most of the medicinal substance remains on the surface of the skin for a lengthy time and penetrates completely into lower layers of skin, and is then partly absorbed, only over a period of several hours. However, this is associated 30 with a not inconsiderable risk of contamination of a partner. Relatively large amounts of the active ingredient can be transferred by skin contact and thus lead to uncontrolled treatment of an uninvolved person.
In addition, some of the active ingredient applied openly to the surface of the skin may, for example during showering, enter the drains and thus cause environmental pollution.

_ 3 _ It is furthermore known that the molecular weight of a medicinal substance represents a limiting quantity for its transdermal availability. Active ingredients such as PRASL having a molecular weight of MW ? 500 Da are regarded as having low skin penetration.
It must therefore be assumed that in the case of conventional patches with PRASL a large amount of the active ingredient must be employed in order to attain an effective plasma level.
Description of the invention The present invention is thus based on the object of providing a transdermal patch which achieves a pharmacologically effective plasma level of PRASL
(corresponding to a transdermal administration of about 30-50 ug/d).
In order to avoid the risk of the occurrence of active ingredient-excipient incompatibilities and of irritative skin reactions, these patches should where possible comprise no penetration-enhancing additions of excipients. It was further intended to provide a transdermal patch with the PRASL active ingredient, which releases a maximal proportion of the assimilated active ingredient and accordingly achieves a patch having a low percentage content of the active ingredient in the pharmaceutical form. In order to achieve an increase in the patients' acceptance by reducing the dosage interval, it is further intended to find a transdermal patch with PRASL which enables linear transport of active ingredient over a period of several days.

The object is achieved according to the invention by a transdermal patch comprising the active ingredient of the general formula Ri HO R3 H

or pharmaceutically suitable derivatives thereof (progesterone A-specific ligands, PRASL), where the transdermal patch consists of a backing layer, of at least one active ingredient-containing adhesive layer which adheres thereto and is based on a silicone polymer, a polyisobutylene polymer (PIB), a polyacrylate polymer or a styrene block copolymer with butadiene or isoprene (SBS or SIS), the active ingredient being present in.a concentration of 0.1-10, based on the total weight of the adhesive matrix, and of a removable protective film.

It is furthermore possible according to the invention for the active ingredient to be present in a concentration of 0.1-5% based on the total weight of the adhesive matrix, preferably in the concentration of 0.1-2% based on the total weight of the adhesive matrix.
It is also possible in the case of the transdermal patch according to the invention to define the solubility of the active ingredient in the adhesive layer from 0.1-5%, preferably from 0.5-2%.
The active ingredient in the transdermal patch according to the invention can be incorporated in the matrix undissolved in less than 50%.

It is possible in this case according to the invention for the undissolved active ingredient to be in the form of a uniform dispersion of microparticles or microdroplets, preferably as nanoparticles or nanodroplets.
The active ingredient is particularly preferably present in amorphous form in the matrix.

The amorphous active ingredient dispersion according to the invention in the adhesive matrix has significant advantages over previously disclosed crystalline dispersions:
- the amorphous dispersion has a particularly large interfacial area of the undissolved active ingredient vis-a-vis the matrix, thus facilitating subsequent dissolving of active ingredient for release from the matrix;
- in the amorphous state it is unnecessary, in contrast to crystals, to provide lattice energies for subsequent dissolving of active ingredient during application, so that this is not limiting for the delivery rate vis-a-vis the release of active ingredient from the matrix;
the amorphous active ingredient dispersion has a homogeneous visual appearance; the user may observe the appearance of spots with a crystalline dispersion, suggesting a poor quality of the transdermal patch to him and thus possibly leading to acceptance problems.

The crystallization inhibitors present in the active ingredient-containing matrix in the case of the transdermal patch according to the invention can be selected from the group comprising N-vinyllactam polymers such as N-vinyl-l-azacycloheptan-2-one homopolymer and N-vinylpiperidin-2-one homopolymer and especially polymers of vinylpyrrolidone such as polyvidone (Kollidon TM), or copolymers of vinylpyrrolidone with vinyl acetate (copovidones).

The crystallization inhibitor can be a copovidone composed of 6 parts of vinylpyrrolidone and 4 parts of vinyl acetate (Kollidon TM VA 64).
The adhesive layer in the transdermal patch according to the invention may comprise a silicone-based adhesive which are notable for a high proportion of polymer in relation to the resin, preferably amine-compatible adhesives with a polymer to resin mass ratio of greater than or equal to 40% or 60%.

The adhesive layer in the transdermal patch according to the invention may furthermore comprise polyisobutylene-based adhesives.

The transdermal patch according to the invention may in addition also comprise an oestrogen which is selected from the group comprising 17-beta-estradiol, ethinylestradiol, estradiol valerate, estradiol cypionate, estradiol acetates and estradiol benzoates.

It is furthermore possible with the transdermal patch according to the invention for more than 30%, preferably more than 50% of the loading of its active ingredient to be released within a 7-day use cycle.
The transdermal patch according to the invention can furthermore be produced by taking up the appropriate active ingredient in a combination of at least two process solvents, one of which has a low solvent power for the active ingredient and another has a high solvent power for the active ingredient, where the latter is removed from the batch first by drying processes after blending with the adhesive matrix.

In this connection, the solvent with low solvent power for the active ingredient may be 1,4 dioxane, and the solvent with high solvent power may be heptane.

The following formulation strategy according to the invention which is listed in detailed steps characterizes the production of the PRASL-containing patches:
1. selection of adhesive matrices having optimized dissolving properties for PRASL, 2. a suitable production method and 3. by the selection of suitable stabilizing additions for the matrix from.

1. Selection of the adhesive matrices Suitable adhesive matrices are selected on the basis of their dissolving properties for PRASL. Suitable adhesive matrices in the context of the present invention are those in which the solubility for PRASL
is between 0.1-5%. Adhesive matrices which have proved to be particularly suitable are those in which the solubility of PRASL is between 0.1-2%.

Examples of medically acceptable adhesives which can be employed in this adhesive matrix are silicone, polyacrylate or polyisobutylene adhesives. However, it is also possible in addition to employ polyurethanes, styrene-based block copolymers and further organic polymers.
Particular preference is given in the context of the present invention to silicone adhesives which are suitable for medical use and have a maximal proportion of polymer compared with the resin and in this connection especially those which are amine-compatible, such as, for example, the Bio PSAO series from Dow Corning, and polyisobutylene-containing adhesive preparations such as, for example, a preparation from the following components, which is produced in a known manner:

Example of a polyisobutylene-containing adhesive matrix according to the invention.

Component Proportion by weight in the dried adhesive matrix Oppanol B100 10 Oppanol B 12 SFN 52.2 Indopol H 2100 35 2. Production method for incorporating PRASL in the matrix PRASL is taken up during the production process in a combination of at least two process solvents, one of which has a low solvent power for the active ingredients (e.g. heptane) and another has a high solvent power for the active ingredients (i.e. 1,4 dioxane) . It is moreover possible for one of the two solvents also to be a component of the volatile constituents of the adhesive matrix. After blending of the PRASL solution with the adhesive matrix, the solvent having good dissolving properties for PRASL is removed from the batch first by drying processes.
During the subsequent film formation there is, surprisingly, spontaneous precipitation of part of the active ingredient in the form of an amorphous dispersion whose particles predominantly have the size of nanoparticles. The precondition for precipitation of this amorphous dispersion is the use of adhesive matrices having the dissolving properties for PRASL
described above.
If the solvent power of the adhesive matrix used for PRASL is greater than 2-5%, as for example in the case of the acrylate adhesive matrix DuroTak 387-2287, the entire amount of active ingredient remains dissolved even after the film formation, and the advantages of an amorphous active ingredient dispersion according to the invention cannot be utilized.

3. Selection of suitable stabilizing additions for the matrix Crystallization inhibitors can be added to stabilize this amorphous dispersion of the active ingredient in the adhesive matrix. These take the form of pharmaceutical excipients which are known to the skilled person and which are suitable as complexing agents to form for example solid solutions with active ingredients, increase the surface solubility for the active ingredient and reduce the tendency of the active ingredient to recrystallize after removal of one process solvent or lowering of the temperature.
Addition of crystallization inhibitors makes it possible to stabilize the amorphous dispersion of the active ingredient in the adhesive matrix by preventing further precipitation of the dissolved proportion of active ingredient and additionally blocking conversion of the amorphous particles in the crystalline particles.

A 10% strength solution of the active ingredient according to the invention, (R)-3-{1-[2-fluoro-5-5 (trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopropyl}-2-hydroxy-N-(phthalid-5-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanamide F HO cF3 H
N O

in dioxane is introduced into a suitable batch container. An aliquot of suitable adhesive matrix (e.g.
BioPSA 4302, Dow Corning) is added to result in a 10 strength mixture based on the solids content of the matrix.
The matrix is homogenized in a known manner. The film is spread on a removable protective layer (e.g. Scotch-pack 97420, 3M) and dried in accordance with pharmaceutical rules. When the solvents are evaporated there is partial precipitation of the active ingredient in the form of uniformly dispersed nanoparticles in the adhesive matrix. Finally, a substantially water vapour-impermeable backing layer (e.g. Hostaphan RN 15 MEDO, Mitsubishi) is used for lamination, and the patches are singulated.

The results of the in vitro liberation for 6 of these patches according to the invention over a period of 24 h is shown below by way of example.

Table 1 Percentage release of (R)-3-{1-[2-fluoro-5-(trifluoro-methyl)phenyl]cyclopropyl}-2-hydroxy-N-(phthalid-5-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanamide from patches according to the invention with 1% active ingredient in the matrix 1 h 4 h 8 h 24 h lst specimen 39% 72% 80% 81%

Average 39% 72% 83% 84%
Surprisingly, the patches according to the invention release by far the greatest part of their load of active ingredient after only after 4 h, and make it availabl.e for treatment. The patches according to the invention are therefore suitable for at least markedly reducing the described problem of overloading of an oral pharmaceutical form with PRASL.

The reduction in the amount of active ingredient employed per pharmaceutical form means that the plasters according to the invention provide an economic advantage by comparison with an oral pharmaceutical form. In addition, the reduction in the amount of active ingredient per pharmaceutical form considerably reduces the environmental risk derived from the pharmaceutical form.

The ability of the patches according to the invention to transport the active ingredient through human skin was investigated by means of permeation studies on exised human skin. The established model of the Franz diffusion cell was employed in this case. 6 patches were likewise investigated, and were loaded in each case with 1% (R)-3-{1-[2-fluoro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]cyclopropyl}-2-hydroxy-N-(phthalid-5-yl)-2-(trifluoromethyl)propanamide in the matrix.

The small size of a transdermal patch suggests that acceptance by patients will be great. The omission of penetration-enhancing additions reduces the risk of the occurrence of active ingredient-excipient incompatibilities and of irritative skin reactions reduces and thus represents a further advantage of the patches according to the invention.

Owing to the uniform fluxes of the active ingredient, a pharmaceutical form according to the invention additionally makes it possible to reduce the dosage interval from a daily use of the oral pharmaceutical form to a weekly use.
This reduction represents a further advantage of the pharmaceutical form according to the invention.
