Description

包含非索非那定(FEXOFENADINE)之醫藥組成物 a pharmaceutical composition comprising fexofenadine (FEXOFENADINE) 發明領域:Field of invention:

本發明係有關供口服投與用之非索非那定(fexofenadine)鹽酸鹽(HCl)之穩定醫藥組成物。 The present invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical composition for fexofenadine hydrochloride (HCl) for oral administration.

特別是,本發明乃有關一種包含非索非那定鹽酸鹽及醫藥上可接受之賦形劑,視需要封裝於軟明膠膠囊中之改良調配物。 In particular, the invention relates to an improved formulation comprising fexofenadine hydrochloride and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, optionally encapsulated in a soft gelatin capsule.

本發明再者亦有關製備此等醫藥組成物之方法及使用此等醫藥組成物製備用於治療過敏反應之藥物之用途。 The invention further relates to a method of preparing such pharmaceutical compositions and the use of such pharmaceutical compositions for the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of an allergic reaction.

發明背景:Background of the invention:

非索非那定於水溶液中之溶解度很低,調配此等化合物供有效投與病患用時造成困難。經良好設計之調配物應該至少能提供呈可吸收形式之治療有效量之該疏水性化合物至所需吸收部位。當疏水性治療劑之遞送需要與例如胃液與腸液等水性生理環境相互作用時,即使此最小功能亦難以達成。再者,不同個體之藥物吸收由於胃腸功能與食物攝取不同而可能有明顯差異;因此劑量之決定及控制相當困難。 The solubility of fexofenadine in aqueous solutions is very low and it is difficult to formulate such compounds for effective administration to patients. A well-designed formulation should provide at least a therapeutically effective amount of the hydrophobic compound in an absorbable form to the desired site of absorption. This minimal function is difficult to achieve when the delivery of a hydrophobic therapeutic agent requires interaction with an aqueous physiological environment such as gastric juice and intestinal fluid. Furthermore, drug absorption in different individuals may vary significantly due to differences in gastrointestinal function and food intake; therefore, dose determination and control are quite difficult.

非索非那定[(+)-4-[1-羥基-4-[4(羥基二苯甲基)-1-哌啶基-丁基]-α,α-二甲苯乙酸]係第二代組織胺H1受體拮抗劑(抗組織胺)特非那定(terfenadine)之活性代謝物,非索非 那定之獨特性在於即使於活體外模式高劑量下,亦似乎全然無鎮靜作用。據報導,外排轉運體P-醣蛋白運送非索非那定,被認為是非索非那定藥物動力學之重要決定因素。由於非索非那定係P-gp與數個有機陰離子轉運多肽(OATP)之基質,食物及多種藥物共投與對其口服生物利用性將具顯著影響。調配口服投與型非索非那定之另一進一步挑戰為非索非那定特別是於胃液條件下之低溶解度(每毫升pH 1.2水性緩衝液溶解度為0.2毫克非索非那定HCl)。 Fexofenadine [(+)-4-[1-hydroxy-4-[4(hydroxybenzhydryl)-1-piperidinyl-butyl]-α,α-dimethylacetic acid] is the second Generation of histamine H1 receptor antagonist (antihistamine), an active metabolite of terfenadine, Fenofia The uniqueness of that is that even at high doses in the in vitro mode, there appears to be no sedation. It has been reported that efflux transporter P-glycoprotein delivery of fexofenadine is considered to be an important determinant of pharmacokinetics of fexofenadine. Due to the matrix of fexofenadine P-gp and several organic anion transport polypeptides (OATP), the co-administration of food and various drugs will have a significant impact on its oral bioavailability. Another further challenge in formulating oral-administered fexofenadine is the low solubility of fexofenadine, especially in gastric fluid conditions (0.2 mg of fexofenadine HCl per ml of pH 1.2).

而,調配非索非那定口服醫藥組成物之另一難題為其令人討厭、強烈的苦味及嚐過後導使對治療不良順從性或甚至不順從,因而對治療功效具有負面影響。 However, another difficulty in formulating the oral medicinal composition of fexofenadine is that it is annoying, intense bitterness, and has been adversely affected by poor therapeutic compliance or even disobedience.

鑑於上述情況,增進口服投與藥物之吸收乃解決難溶藥物低生物利用性問題之關鍵點。 In view of the above, improving the absorption of oral administration drugs is a key point in solving the problem of low bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.

迄今,已使用增進難溶藥物生物利用性之許多方法,例如將其轉化為可溶鹽類或酯類、減少粒徑及增加表面積以提高藥物溶解性、添加助溶劑等。此外,雖然活性成分可轉化為供藥物投與用之可溶鹽類,惟由於胃腸道之pH變化,該可溶鹽類可能回復為難溶形式,因而導致藥物沉澱。 Heretofore, many methods for improving the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs have been used, such as converting them into soluble salts or esters, reducing particle size and increasing surface area to improve drug solubility, adding a solubilizing agent, and the like. Further, although the active ingredient can be converted into a soluble salt for administration of the drug, the soluble salt may return to a poorly soluble form due to a change in the pH of the gastrointestinal tract, thereby causing precipitation of the drug.

又,由於涉及P-醣蛋白代謝途徑之首渡代謝(first pass metabolism),非索非那定鹽酸鹽面臨口服生物利用性減少(高達33%)之問題。 Moreover, fexofenadine hydrochloride faces a problem of reduced oral bioavailability (up to 33%) due to the first pass metabolism involving the P-glycoprotein metabolic pathway.

因此,業界對於防止發生生物利用性減少之上述缺點,並增加吸收率以促進藥劑之最大生物利用性,達到極迅速之藥理作用,同時具有穩定性之組成物存在需求。 Therefore, the industry has a need to prevent the above-mentioned disadvantages of bioavailability reduction and increase the absorption rate to promote the maximum bioavailability of the drug, to achieve extremely rapid pharmacological action, and to have a stable composition.

US 4,929,605敘述一種供口服投與用之包含哌啶烷醇化合物與增加哌啶烷醇化合物之吸收及生物利用性之非離子性界面活性劑[例如聚山梨糖醇酯80(Tween 80)]之醫藥組成物。此文件並未敘述或建議包含非索非那定鹽酸鹽與至少一種非離子親水性界面活性劑與至少一種非離子疏水性界面活性劑之液體混合物之醫藥組成物。再者,此文件未能解決增進包含哌啶烷醇化合物之醫藥組成物之貯存穩定性與適用期等技術問題。 No. 4,929,605 describes a nonionic surfactant (for example, polysorbate 80 (Tween 80)) comprising a piperidinol compound for oral administration and for increasing the absorption and bioavailability of a piperidinol compound. Pharmaceutical composition. This document does not describe or suggest a pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid mixture of fexofenadine hydrochloride and at least one nonionic hydrophilic surfactant and at least one nonionic hydrophobic surfactant. Furthermore, this document fails to solve the technical problems of improving the storage stability and pot life of the pharmaceutical composition containing the piperidinol compound.

WO99/08690揭示利用口服共投與p-醣蛋白抑制劑例如聚乙二醇(PEG 400或PEG 1000)或聚山梨糖醇酯而提高非索非那定鹽酸鹽生物利用性之方法;其中並未提及包含非索非那定鹽酸鹽與至少一種非離子親水性界面活性劑與至少一種非離子疏水性界面活性劑之液體混合物之任何醫藥組成物。再者,該發明人等觀察到,非索非那定鹽酸鹽與單僅非離子親水性界面活性劑之組合物於一段時間後不穩定,非索非那定鹽酸鹽顯現分解,且生物利用性比根據本發明之組成物更小。 WO 99/08690 discloses a method for enhancing the bioavailability of fexofenadine hydrochloride by oral co-administration with a p-glycoprotein inhibitor such as polyethylene glycol (PEG 400 or PEG 1000) or polysorbate; No pharmaceutical composition comprising a liquid mixture of fexofenadine hydrochloride and at least one nonionic hydrophilic surfactant and at least one nonionic hydrophobic surfactant is not mentioned. Furthermore, the inventors observed that the combination of fexofenadine hydrochloride and a single nonionic hydrophilic surfactant is unstable after a while, and that fexofenadine hydrochloride appears to decompose, and Bioavailability is smaller than the composition according to the invention.

因此本發明之目的在於提供增進非索非那定鹽酸鹽之溶解性與生物利用性,且於一段時間內穩定之口服投與之液體醫藥組成物。 It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a liquid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration which enhances the solubility and bioavailability of fexofenadine hydrochloride and which is stable over a period of time.

申請人等已發現藉由提供包含非索非那定鹽酸鹽與醫藥上可接受之賦形劑之改良液體組成物可達成此目的。 Applicants and the like have found that this can be achieved by providing an improved liquid composition comprising fexofenadine hydrochloride and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

頃令人驚奇地發現,相較於已知液體調配物,根據本發明之非索非那定鹽酸鹽組成物之溶解性與生物利用性大為增加。 Surprisingly, it has been found that the solubility and bioavailability of the fexofenadine hydrochloride composition according to the present invention is greatly increased compared to known liquid formulations.

進一步發現,含此調配物之膠囊形式減少了藥劑之殘留味道。 It has further been found that a capsule form containing this formulation reduces the residual taste of the agent.
