Description

LIQUID DOSAGE FORM FOR TOPICAL APPLICATION
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims the benefit of priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62/612,853, filed January 2, 2018, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel topical compositions comprising at least one penetration enhancer that promotes permeation of pharmaceutically active agent through nail or skin.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Onychomycosis is a fungal infection of nail that affects 10% of the general population. The most common cause of Onychomycosis is dermatophyte, which probably account for more than 85% of all cases. Onychomycosis is difficult to treat and has a high recurrence rate. Treatment for onychomycosis is commercially available in oral or topical dosage form, which involves terbinafine (Lamisil®), itraconazole (Sopranox®), ciclopirox (Penlac®), and amorolfine (Loceryl®). Lamisil®, marketed by Novartis, is very effective against onychomycosis administrated systemically, however, oral administration is associated with side effects such as liver toxicity.
Topical therapy is an alternative to oral therapy to diminish the side effects. Topical application of medications on nails allows active agents to penetrate through nail plate, reach nail bed, and eventually enter the systemic circulation bypassing the first-pass metabolism. Commercially available nail lacquer like Penlac® and Loceryl® have been developed for nail fungal infection, but the treatment times are relatively long and cure rate are relatively low either compared with oral administration. Probably, the poor drug penetration is the bottleneck of these products. The 1% Lamisil® cream is for treating skin fungal infection instead, terbinafine, being an effective antifungal agent, is not available in topical dosage form yet. The unmet medical need urges the development of effective topical therapies for nail fungal infection. The nail comprises the nail plate, the nail matrix, and the nail bed. The nail plate is the hard, thin, translucent, slight elastic structure sitting on the nail bed, composed of keratin. The nail plate is made of dead keratinized cells which is formed by the cell division of nail matrix. The penetration of the drug through the nail plate, where the medication applies on, is the key determining the effectiveness of the topical therapy. The keratin binding affinity of drugs correlate to its penetration through the keratin matrix in nail plate. Low keratin binding efficiency contributes to increased permeability, which is a desirable physiochemical property of drugs as higher proportion of administrated drug can be targeted to the lower nail layer. Many antifungal drugs are reported to bind strongly to keratin and thus developing formulations that dwindle the interactions between the drugs and keratin is necessary.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to novel liquid topical compositions comprising at least one penetration enhancer that promotes permeation of pharmaceutically active agent through nail or skin. In particular, the invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations of but not limited to terbinafine for treating onychomycosis.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Figure 2 shows the cumulative amount of minoxidil penetrated-time curve.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit application and uses. The following examples further illustrate the present invention without, however, limiting the scope of the invention thereto. Various changes and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art on the basis of the description of the invention, and such changes and modifications are also included in the present invention.
In one embodiment, the present invention provides a liquid topical composition comprising a matrix comprising an effective amount of a pharmaceutically active agent and one or more penetration enhancer having a combined hydrophilic- lipophilic balance of about 1 to about 16, wherein the matrix is a liquid such as solution, suspension, emulsion and lacquer.
In other embodiment of the invention, the pharmaceutically active agent is such as antifungal agents, hair growth promoting agents, anesthetic agents, nonnarcotic analgesics such as the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAIDS), erectile dysfunction agents, female sexual dysfunction agents, antihistamine and anti-cold agents, cough suppressant agents, respiratory disorder agents, antiemetic agents, oral hygiene agents, antagonists of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) receptors, drugs for hormone replacement, Alzheimer's disease agent, caffeine and caffeine salt compounds and corticosteroid. In particular embodiment of the invention, pharmaceutically active agent is such as terbinafine hydrochloride, efinaconzole, minoxidil, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, cetirizine, donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine, tacrine, and memantine.
In another embodiment of the invention, the liquid topical composition further comprises enhancers. Enhancers are selected from among PEG-8 beeswax, PEG-75 stearate, pegoxol-7 stearate, propylene glycol monocaprylate, propylene glycol monolaurate, propylene glycol monostearate, propylene glycol dioleate, 2-hydroxypropyl stearate, 2-hydroxypropyl laurate, propylene glycol oleate, propylene glycol distearate, propylene glycol dicaprylate, propylene glycol dilaurate, polypropylene glycol (17) dioleate, propyleneglycol monolaurate, propylene glycol monomyristate, dipropylene glycol dipelargonate, polypropylene glycol monobutyl ether oleate, propylene glycol dipelargonate, propylene glycol didecanoate, dipropylene glycol dipelargonate, propylene glycol bis(9,l O-epoxystearate), propylene glycol monoisostearate, propylene glycol diundecanoate, glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, oleoyl macrogolglycerides, lauroyl macrogolycerides, stearoyl macrogolgylycerides, caprylocaproyl macrogolglycerides, triglycerides medium-chain, polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate, polyglyceryl oleate, ethylene glycol paimitostearate, dissopropyl adipate, di-n-butyl adipate, dimethyl adipate, dimethyl isosorbide and diethylene glycol monoethyl ether. In a particular embodiment, liquid topical composition of the invention contains one or more penetration enhancers in an amount of from about 0.1% by weight to about 20%, about 0.1% by weight to about 15%, or about 1% by weight to about 10% by weight of the liquid dosage form.
The inventive liquid topical composition further comprises a secondary absorption enhancer which is selected from among glycerol and terpenes.
In a still further embodiment, the inventive liquid topical composition comprises a surfactant, a humectant, an emulsifier, a solubilizing agent, a solvent, a base polymer, a diluent, an antioxidant, a preservative and optionally a film forming agent.

EXAMPLE 3: EFFECT OF PENETRATION ENHANCERS IN TRANSDERMAL PENETRATION OF TERBINAFINE
A Franz diffusion cell system was used to assess the influence of penetration enhancers on the formulation of terbinafine lacquer for penetrating mouse skin. The test drugs shown in
Table 1 were applied on mouse skin and allowed to diffuse for 20 hours. The cumulative amount of terbinafine penetrated at the end of 20th hour with regard to various enhancers in the formulations was shown in Table 3. The data in Table 3 showed that all the enhancers promoted the amount of penetrated terbinafine across mouse skin.

EXAMPLE 4: CASE STUDY: FINGERNAIL ONYCHOMYCOSIS TREATED WITH THE INVENTION
A Chinese female onychomycosis patient was treated with the formulation 1K once daily for 10 weeks. Images in Figure 1 show that fungal infections of fingernails were almost completely cured after 10 weeks.
EXAMPLE 5: EFFECT OF PENETRATION ENHANCERS IN TRANSDERMAL PENETRATION OF MINOXIDIL A Franz diffusion cell system was used to assess the influence of penetration enhancers on the formulation of minoxidil solution for penetrating mouse skin. The test drug containing enhancers (formulation 2H) and no enhancer (formulation 2G) were applied on mouse skin and allowed to diffuse for 20 hours. The cumulative amount of minoxidil penetrated-time curve was shown in Figure 2. It is shown that enhancers promoted the penetration rate of minoxidil and it was increased up to around 3.5 times the maximum at 18th hour.
