Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel formulations as well as to a new granulation method for poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients such as the iron chelator deferasirox and the use thereof in the treatment of iron overload in transfusion dependent anemias.
- Deferasirox has the chemical name 4-[3,5-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-[l,2,4]triazol-l- yl]benzoic acid, and has the followin chemical structure:
- Deferasirox is an orally active iron chelator, currently marketed under the trade name EXJADE* for the treatment of iron overload in transfusion dependent anemia's (transfusion hemosiderosis), in patients 2 years and older.
- EXJADE ® is also indicated for the treatment of chronic iron overload in patients 10 years of age and older with non-transfusion-dependent thalassemia syndromes, such as thalassemia major, and thalassemia intermediate, and in sickle cell disease in order to reduce iron-related morbidity and mortality.
- Major and intermediate clinical thalassemia are hereditary disorders characterized by defective production of haemoglobin, which leads to decreased production and increased destruction of red blood cells.
- Sickle-cell disease or sickle-cell anaemia (SCA) or sometimes drepanocytosis, is a hereditary blood disorder, characterized by an abnormality in the oxygen-carrying haemoglobin molecule in red blood cells. This leads to a propensity for the cells to assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle-like shape under certain circumstances.
- Sickle-cell disease is associated with a number of acute and chronic health problems, such as severe infections, attacks of severe pain ("sickle-cell crisis"), and stroke, and there is an increased risk of death.
- haemochromatosis the most common form of iron overload disease, is an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron. The extra iron builds up in organs and damages them. Without treatment, the disease can cause these organs to fail.
- chelation therapy Patients with sickle cell disease or thalassemia, who receive significant numbers of blood transfusions and patients with haematochromatosis, require therapy to remove iron from the body, called chelation therapy.
- Deferasirox is a once daily oral iron chelator, which is prescribed in the form of a dispersible tablet, i.e., a tablet which needs to be dispersed in an aqueous medium prior to administration.
- the solubility of deferasirox, an iron chelating drug, in water is for example less than 1 mg/ml at 25°C.
- Water-insoluble or slightly water soluble drugs are only slowly dissolved from a solid formulation.
- the drug dissolution step is therefore the rate- limiting step in the drug's absorbency which, in turn, has a direct effect on the drug's concentration in the blood stream, and therefore its potency or effectiveness. It is therefore important to increase the dissolution rate of water-insoluble or slightly water soluble drugs (i.e. drugs that are poorly soluble in water or an aqueous medium), in order to improve their solubility and bioavailability.
- particle size reduction is often the method of choice. By reducing particle size, the effective surface area increases, thus allowing a greater dissolution rate.
- known shortcomings of particle size reduction are an increase in the tendency to agglomerate and an increase in static charge, reducing the tendency of the particles to flow and also leading to poor wetting properties.
- one of the main challenges in the development of formulations with a high load of poorly soluble active drug substances is to develop a formulation that increases drug solubility while also eliminating the tendency of the drug substance to agglomerate, thereby increasing its bioavailability.
- the International Patent Application Publication WO 99/33467 describes an oral preparation for poorly water soluble drug substance, such as itraconazole, having improved bioavailability through the formation of solid dispersions having excellent solubility and increased dissolution rates. These are reported as being prepared by co-dissolving itraconazole and a pH-dependent hydrophilic polymer followed by spray-drying the mixture. The solid dispersions so obtained are then prepared for oral administration.
- the main drawback of this method is the number of steps involved, making it less advantageous to large-scale operations.
- WO 97/44014 describes a solid dispersion of a poorly water soluble drug substance, such as itraconazole, in a water-soluble polymer which is prepared by subjecting a mixture of itraconazole and a water-soluble polymer to a melt- extrusion process at a temperature ranging from 120 °C to 300 °C. Since there exists a possibility that the water- soluble polymer will decompose if it remains in contact too long with the heating element, the melt-extrusion process has to be carefully monitored.
- a poorly water soluble drug substance such as itraconazole
- Simple approaches include adding chemical mediating, flavoring or sweetening ingredients to the composition, which thereby mask the bitterness of the drug.
- Alternative approaches include microencapsulating unpleasant taste active agent in a coating of ethyl cellulose or a mixture of ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose or other cellulose derivatives to provide chewable taste-masked products.
