Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions for sustained release of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors.
  • the said compositions are useful for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
  • Hypercholesterolemia is related to an increased risk of coronary heart diseases.
  • a possible way to reduce blood cholesterol levels in a patient is to inhibit the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, which is a key enzyme in the regulation of cholesterol biosynthesis.
  • HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors also referred to as "statins" constitute a well known group of therapeutic agents for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, which group comprises fermentation products such as lovastatin and pravastatin, as well as semi-synthetic analogs such as simvastatin. More recently have completely synthetic drugs, e.g. fiuvastatin, been developed.
  • Fiuvastatin (R*, S*-(E)-(+)-7-[3-(4-fluorophenyl)-l-(l-methyl-ethyl)-lH-indol-2-yl]- 3,5-dihydroxy-6-heptenoic acid) is known from EP-A-0 114 027.
  • Hypercholesterolemic treatment is often life-long and patients do not usually perceive any direct symptoms caused by the elevated cholesterol levels. In the case of life-long treatment of asymptomatic diseases, it is very important to have a well tolerated drug treatment. Also mild forms of undesired effects will decrease compliance with treatment regimen and thereby endanger desired prevention of coronary heart diseases.
  • Common tolerability problems with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors when administered as dosage forms such as capsules or tablets releasing the drug rapidly (i.e. within 2 hours), are mild gastro-intestinal symptoms, e.g. nausea, dyspepsia, flatulence and/ or constipation.
  • transaminases such as aspartate aminotransferase (AS AT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), which indicates damages on liver cells caused by the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor treatment.
  • AS AT aspartate aminotransferase
  • ALAT alanine aminotransferase
  • total blockade of cholesterol biosynthesis leads to a compensatory up-regulation of HMG-CoA reductase activity and thereby endogenous cholesterol synthesis.
  • This up-regulation counteracts the desired clinical effect and higher doses are needed, which increase the risk for adverse events of both presystemic and systemic nature.
  • Such undesirable up-regulation is obtained with conventional rapid release formulations, e.g. tablets, capsules and solutions of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, including fiuvastatin.
  • HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors in the form of natural fermentation products such as lovastatin and pravastatin, and semisynthetic analogs such as simvastatin, is disclosed in EP-B-0 375 156.
  • time-controlled administration was suggested as a means for reducing the amount of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor circulating in the bloodstream of the subject. Consequently, sustained-release administration was used as a means for lowering systemic drug exposure and thereby achieving potential reduction of side effects associated with systemically circulating drug.
  • sustained release compositions comprising a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor decreases the incidence of (i) undesirable gastro-intestinal side-effects, and (ii) undesirable increases of serum transaminase levels. Furthermore, undesirable up-regulation of HMG-CoA reductase levels is significantly reduced by administration of the said sustained release compositions.
  • the sustained-release compositions for which the said advantageous effects occur comprise HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors with pharmacokinetic, pharmadynamic and pharmacologic effects such that the specified presystemic adverse events (increased transaminase levels and increased incidence of mild gastro-intestinal tolerability problems) and up-regulation of HMG-CoA reductase appear after administration of formulations providing rapid availability of the complete dose, e.g. conventional tablets, capsules and solutions.
  • the invention thus provides a pharmaceutical composition for sustained release comprising a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor as an active ingredient, said composition characterized in that the said HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor:
  • rapidly absorption should be understood as an absorption such that the peak plasma drug concentration level is generally reached within approximately 3 hours after oral administration of a formulation, not providing modified release properties, under fasting conditions in humans.
  • high degree of first pass liver extraction should be understood as indicating that more than 50% of the dose is extracted by the liver during the first pass (E > 50%) after oral administration of a formulation, not providing modified release properties, under fasting conditions in humans.
  • E is be determined from the equation 1-(F/Fa) where F is the absolute bioavailability and Fa is the fraction of drug absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract.
  • the said HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is a fully synthetic HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, most preferably fiuvastatin.
  • fiuvastatin comprises both of the pure enantiomers, as well as racemic mixtures.
  • the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition as described above, for use in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
  • gastro-intestinal side-effects e.g. nausea, dyspepsia, flatulence and/ or constipation are significantly reduced; in that elevation of plasma transaminase levels is significantly reduced; and in that upregulation of HMG-CoA reductase levels is significantly reduced.
  • compositions according to the invention comprise e.g. the sodium, potassium, ammonium salts.
  • the sodium salt is preferred.
  • the pharmaceutical formulations according to the invention can be prepared by use of well known pharmaceutical processing techniques such as blending, granulation, milling, spray drying, compaction, or coating.
  • the typical daily dose of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor varies within a wide range and will depend on various factors such as for example the individual requirement of each patient and the disease.
  • sustained-release dosages will be in the range of 1 to 1000 mg per day per day of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, preferably 2 to 200 mg/day.
  • the pharmaceutical formulations according to the invention are useful for lowering the blood cholesterol level in mammals, in particular humans. They are therefore useful as hypercholesterolemic and anti-atherosclerotic agents.
  • an other aspect of the invention is the use of a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor as specified above, preferably fiuvastatin, for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical composition for sustained release, for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia.
  • a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor as specified above, preferably fiuvastatin
  • gastro- intestinal side-effects e.g. nausea, dyspepsia, flatulence and/ or constipation are significantly reduced; in that an elevation of plasma transaminase levels is significantly reduced; and in that an upregulation of HMG-CoA reductase levels is significantly reduced.
  • the invention provides a method for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia comprising administering to a mammal, including man, a therapeutically effective amount of a pharmaceutical composition for sustained release, said pharmaceutical composition comprising a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor as specified above, preferably fiuvastatin.
  • a pharmaceutical composition for sustained release said pharmaceutical composition comprising a HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor as specified above, preferably fiuvastatin.
  • gastro-intestinal side-effects e.g. nausea, dyspepsia, flatulence and/ or constipation are significantly reduced; in that an elevation of plasma transaminase levels is significantly reduced; and in that an upregulation of HMG-CoA reductase levels is significantly reduced.
  • EXAMPLE 1 Gastrointestinal side-effects and increase in transaminase levels are avoided with fiuvastatin ER
  • Fiuvastatin extended release (ER) and fiuvastatin immediate release (IR) dosage forms were administered to 20 male subjects for 4 weeks in a randomized 2 way cross-over designed study (i.e. the same subject takes both drugs at separate occasions). The same daily dose (40 mg) of the two treatments were given.
  • fiuvastatin ER No gastro-intestinal symptoms were found for fiuvastatin ER, whereas 4 cases (nausea 1 case, loose stools 3 cases) were obtained for fiuvastatin IR.
  • Serum transaminase levels were determined according to accredited laboratory methods. The mean difference between transaminase serum levels after 4 weeks treatment with fiuvastatin ER and IR are shown in Table 1.
  • HMG-CoA reductase mRNA was measured in lymphocytes using RT-PCR in 4 healthy volunteers in a double-blind, cross-over study.
  • Fiuvastatin was given either as a 40 mg capsule or as a sustained release-mimicking administration regimen obtained by administering 4 capsules of 10 mg at four separate occasions separated by 2 hours. Lymphocytes were recovered from venous blood samples at indicated times. There was a two-fold increase in mRNA levels after the 40 mg capsule thus showing an undesired up-regulation, whereas no significant change was seen after the sustained release administration regimen (Fig. 1). Consequently, a sustained release administration of fiuvastatin avoids or leads to less compensatory up-regulation of HMG-CoA reductase than the conventional capsule.
  • a dosage form adapted, designed and shaped for the oral delivery of fiuvastatin sodium to a patient in need of fiuvastatin therapy is manufactured as follows: first 30.0 g of fiuvastatin sodium, 90.0 g of paraffin, 50.0 g calcium carbonate and 20.0 g sorbitol are screened through a 1.0 mm screen.
