Definitions
- the present invention concerns a new pharmaceutical composition
- doxofylline in particular a modified release formulation, for administration once a day only.
- Doxofylline (7-(l,3-dioxalan-2-ylmethyl)-theophylline) is a drug derived from theophylline which is used in therapy as a bronchodilator, with anti-inflammatory action, in reversible airway obstruction. It is commonly administered in doses ranging from 800 to 1200 mg per day, orally, according to a dosage which provides for the intake of two to three dosage units per day in order to maintain therapeutically effective haematic levels.
- the doxofylline tablets commercially available generally contain 400 mg of active ingredient and release almost all the drug within one hour from intake. The half- life of the drug is around 6-7 hours and for this reason several administrations are required during the 24-hour period.
- dosage units containing 400 mg of active ingredient are currently administered two/three times a day for a daily average of approximately 1000 mg of active ingredient, a dosage considered necessary to maintain the therapeutic haematic levels of doxofylline.
- Such a dosage unit is currently marketed by Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Ltd as DOXOBID and has the following quali-quantitative composition: doxofylline (400 mg), colloidal silicon dioxide (13 mg), corn starch (63 mg), mannitol (40 mg), povidone (7 mg), microcrystalline cellulose (64 mg), talc (30 mg), magnesium stearate (3 mg) and water (0.08 ml).
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a composition of doxofylline which lowers the initial haematic peak and the first-pass effect occurring in the conventional compositions.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a doxofylline composition which maintains the effective concentration of the drug in the blood sufficient to exert the bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory effect over the 24-hour period, thus reducing the risk of bronchospasm and serious consequences for the patient.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a modified release doxofylline composition which avoids the need for recourse to rescue medication, such as salbutamol inhalers, to overcome acute asthmatic attacks and bronchospasms.
- rescue medication such as salbutamol inhalers
- the invention concerns a modified release pharmaceutical composition which comprises as active ingredient doxofylline, and a polymer selected from a pharmaceutically acceptable cellulose derivative, a pharmaceutically acceptable methacrylate derivative, their mixtures, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
- Doxofylline (or doxophylline) (7-(l,3-dioxalan-2-ylmethyl)-theophylline) has the following structural formula
- active ingredient and is here also called “active ingredient” or “API” (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient).
- modified release pharmaceutical composition indicates a pharmaceutical composition that retains the active ingredient for a longer period of time than the conventional compositions and releases it slowly in order to maintain at length the plasmatic concentrations of the drug sufficient to exert the desired therapeutic effect.
- Said formulation is here also called “BET” (Bioavailability Enhancing Technology) or “TOP” (Technology Optimized Performance) formulation.

- the invention concerns a method for the bronchodilatory treatment of all forms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) which comprises administration to a patient in need thereof of a therapeutically effective amount of the composition of the invention.
- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- the invention concerns a method for improving bioavailability of doxofylline in a human being, which method comprises administering to said human being the composition of the invention; more in details, it concerns a method for obtaining in a human being a plasmatic level bioequivalent to that obtainable by administering twice a day an immediate release composition containing 400 mg of doxofylline (such as DOXOBID), which method comprises administering the composition of the invention once a day.
- DOXOBID immediate release composition containing 400 mg of doxofylline
- the invention comprises a process for preparation of the composition of the invention, in the form of tablets, which comprises:
- phase (b) compressing is performed to obtain a tablet hardness of between 1 and 3 kg/cm 2 .
- phase (d) in phase (d) a lubricating agent and/or a filling agent are mixed.
- composition of the invention can also be formulated in the form of coated pellets.
- the compositions of the invention have undergone various tests to assess their dissolution profile and stability, as well as their in vivo bioavailability. The tests conducted enabled us to conclude that the composition of the invention, in particular the preferred composition in the form of a tablet, as defined above, is stable and has an optimal dissolution profile for maintaining the haematic concentration of doxofylline effective for 24 hours.
- compositions of the invention are therefore suitable for administration once a day only and, surprisingly, at a dosage even approximately 35% lower than the average daily dosage of the conventional formulations.
- EXPERIMENTAL SECTION EXAMPLE 1 A modified release composition in tablet form is prepared which contains, for each tablet: • doxofylline 650.00 mg
- microcrystalline cellulose 30.00 mg
- a modified release composition in tablet form is prepared which contains, for each tablet:
- a modified release composition in tablet form is prepared which contains, for each tablet:
- microcrystalline cellulose 30.00 mg
- a randomized, open-label, balanced, three-treatment, three-period, three sequence, single dose, crossover bioavailability study has been done in twelve healthy, adult, male, human subjects under fasting conditions using the 650 mg tablet of example 2 (Doxofylline SR 650) the 600 mg tablet of example 3 (Doxofylline SR 600) and the 400 mg tablet currently available on the market (DOXOBID); Doxofylline SR 650 and Doxofylline SR 600 have been administered once-a-day, whereas DOXOBID has been administered twice a day. Pharmacokinetic parameters have been calculated using KINETICA software. The area under the curve (AUC) was subjected to statistical treatment for significance by one-way analysis of variance ANOVA) using software, Jandel Scientif ⁇ ca, California.
- FIG. 1 shows the data of Doxofylline SR 650 compared to that of DOXOBID whereas figure 2 shows the data of Doxofylline SR 600 compared to that of DOXOBID.
- T/R relative bioavailabilities
- Doxofylline SR 650 mg tablets Excellent results were obtained for Doxofylline SR 650 mg tablets.
- the bioavailability of doxofylline was found to be about 0.98 and 0.92 times after administration of Doxofylline SR 650 mg and Doxofylline SR 600 mg tablets, respectively.
- the bioavailability of Doxofylline 650 mg was almost identical to that of DOXOBID 400 mg twice daily, 12 hourly, therefore it could be possible to administer a single dose of Doxofylline SR 650 mg tablet instead of doxofylline 400 mg twice daily to treat symptoms associated with asthma and. COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
- DOXOBID immediate release tablets containing doxofylline 400mg for twice daily administration.
- the open-label bioequivalence study was performed in 24 healthy, adult, male subjects. Each subject received 1 dose of the 650 mg tablet of example 2 (Doxofylline SR 650, herinafter indicated as DOXOTOP) and 2 doses of DOXOBID tablet at 0 and 12 hours. There was a wash-out period of 7 days between each study drug to prevent any carry-over effect. The order of the study drug administrations was randomized for all patients.
- Doxofylline serum concentrations of DOXOTOP were tested 1 hour before drug administration and post-dose at 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 9.00, 12.00, 16.00 and 24.00 hours. At each time point 5 ml of blood was taken from the subject. Because the reference product (DOXOBID) is administered twice daily, the plasma levels should be tested at additional time points in order to measure the plasma peak after the second administration.
- time points are measured, 1 hour before drug administration and post-dose at 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50, 1.75, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 6.00, 9.00, 12.00, 12.25, 12.50, 12.75, 13.00, 13.25, 13.50, 13.75, 14.00, 15.00, 16.00, 18.00, 21.00 and 24.00 hours.
- 5 ml of blood was collected from the subject. All blood samples were collected via indwelling cannula placed in the forearm vein.
- DOXOTOP 650mg
- DOXOBID 400mg tablets twice daily This sustained release formulation therefore has an equal efficacy as the conventional tablets, but may have an even better safety profile since the peak serum concentrations are lower and less active drug is administered to the patient on a daily basis.
