Description
WATER - SOLUBLE DOSAGE FORMS COMPRISING IBANDRONATE
Technical Field
The present invention discloses water soluble dosage forms comprising ibandronate and/or any pharmaceutically suitable derivative thereof which are developed to be used in prevention and treatment of bone loss and diseases associated with bone loss.
The prior art
Bone loss or in other words "osteoporosis" is defined as a disease characterized by low bone mass and susceptibility to bone fragility as a result of distortion in microstructure of bone tissue and increased risk in bone fracture. The disease does not generally result in death; however, it appears as a major health problem affecting quality of life in the world.
Bisphosphonates are pharmaceutical agents which are commonly used in prevention and treatment of bone loss and diseases associated with bone loss. The studies conducted have shown that starting bisphosphonate treatment reduces risk of bone fracture when there appears osteoporosis or nontraumatic bone fracture in postmenopausal period (Fink HA the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT) 2003).
Ibandronate which is a bisphosphonate having the chemical name of l-hydroxy-3-N-methyl- N-pentyl aminopropy 1-1.1- diphosphonic acid was firstly disclosed in the patent numbered DE3623397. It is known that ibandronate is used in treatment of bone diseases, calcium metabolism disorders, osteoporosis, tumor osteolysis or Paget' s disease. Ibandronate should be administered frequently, intermittently and for a long period of time in treatment of said diseases; therefore, the aim of ibandronate administration should be oral administration which is much more accepted by lots of patients in addition to intravenous administration.
Ibandronate formulations marketed today are in the form of oral formulations (tablet) and solutions for intravenous injection or infusion which have been improved in accordance with this requirement.
In addition, actually oral treatment often poses problems since bisphosphonates, particularly amino bisphosphonates, cause irritations of gastrointestinal system in general (Fleisch H. Bisphosphonates in bone disease, Bern 1993, p. 126-131). These gastrointestinal irritations can be listed as erosion, ulcer and similar irritations of epithelial and mucosal layer of the mouth, buccal cavity, pharynx, larynx and esophagus.
In addition, it is also known that movement disorders can occur in upper gastrointestinal system and/or tablets to be taken might get stuck in esophagus depending on the anatomic situation of esophagus. This situation causes suffocation along with painful swallowing. This situation is more frequently seen in elderly patients or in patients who has to take the tablets required in lying position due to their diseases.
Another problem which is encountered during oral administration of bisphosphonates is that sufficient bioavailability cannot be ensured depending on low absorption in gastrointestinal system. For instance, only 0.5% to 5% of the drug is absorbed and only 20% to 50% of the drug absorbed is bound to bone tissue and show efficiency in tablet form. In this respect, it is seen that solutions for intravenous injection or infusion are more advantageous as compared to orally administered bisphosphonate formulations. However, intravenous administration is not preferred by the patients since the patient cannot administer the drug by oneself, absolutely needs a medical practitioner in order to take the drug and administration method is painful. When the prior art is taken into consideration, it is obviously seen that ibandronate is a therapeutically effective agent in treatment and prevention of bone loss and diseases associated with bone loss. In addition, there is need for development of new formulations due to the reasons of low bioavailability, severe gastrointestinal irritation and use of existing dosage forms only by a limited number of patients. Description of the Invention
The first characteristic feature of the formulation of the present invention is that the formulation is formulated as water soluble dosage forms. The inventors have surprisingly found that water soluble dosage forms comprising ibandronate have higher bioavailability as compared to existing oral formulations and overcome gastrointestinal irritations and said difficulties of use observed in oral formulations.
