- Example 6 Insulin absorption after intra-jejunal administration of insulin in formulation to rats
- the absorption target site of the orally administered platform of the invention is generally the small intestine.
- Enteric-coated capsules for rats are not available and therefore stomach bypass enabling direct intra-jejunal administration is needed.
- Insulin is extensively metabolized by the liver; in humans 50-80% of endogenous insulin, secreted by pancreatic ⁇ -cells, is sequestered by the liver and therefore can not be detected in the systemic circulation.
- Insulin administered via the intestinal route mimics the endogenous route of insulin as the intestinal blood flow is drained into the portal vein which leads directly to the liver. Therefore to determine insulin absorbance, blood samples must be drawn from the portal vein (portal circulation, prior to the liver) as well as the jugular vein (systemic circulation, after the liver).
- FIG. 5 presents data from a representative study relating to insulin levels in the portal and systemic circulations after intra-jejunal administration of insulin control and insulin formulation to rats.
- Rats (8 rats per group) were anesthetized and their jejunum exposed by abdominal surgery. The jejunum containing intestinal loop was placed on gauze and kept moist and fully intact throughout the entire study. A temporary cannula was inserted into the jejunum and formulated insulin was administered. Blood was collected from both portal and jugular veins at the same time points, with approximately 4 time points per rat. The MEAN ⁇ SD value of each time point was used to create a plasma concentration vs. time curve. AUC was determined and rBA was calculated.
- Insulin levels in both the portal and systemic circulation rose dramatically after intra-jejunum administration of insulin in formulation. This is in contrast to the minimal insulin absorbance detected when insulin control was administered. The window of absorption was short and insulin levels peaked by 6 minutes. This profile is similar to that seen after rectal administration of formulated insulin (see above). Higher insulin levels were detected in the portal compared to the systemic circulation, with rBA of 10.1% compared to 5.6%, respectively.

- Table 4 presents bioavailability data following intra-jejunal administration of formulations comprising a different ratio of hydrophilic fraction to hydrophobic medium.
- Formulations A and B were administered directly to the jejunum of non- anesthetized rats and plasma dextran levels were measured at 3, 6, 10, 25, 60 and 90 minutes post formulation administration.
- the levels of dextran absorption from rat jejunum after administration of dextran in formulation were compared to the levels of dextran absorbed after intravenous administration.
- Data are presented as Mean + SD (n > 5 rats per group). The results show that changing the ratio between the hydrophilic fraction and the hydrophobic medium in these formulations with a low % weight of therapeutic agent had no significant effect on the bioavailability of the cargo which gives a loading flexibility in devising additional formulations.

- Table 11 presents data from a study in non- anesthetized rats following intra-jejunal administration of formulations with or without sodium octanoate in the hydrophilic fraction (formulations A and D in Table 3A, respectively).
- the results demonstrate that a formulation without medium chain fatty acids in the hydrophilic fraction is not active.
- Table 13 presents data from a study in non- anesthetized rats following intra- jejunal administration of two different dextran formulations - formulation A of Table 3A and the simplified formulation shown in Table 12A.
- Table 14 presents data from a study in non- anesthetized rats following intra-jejunal administration of two different octreotide formulations - the basic formulation shown in Table 12B and the simplified formulation shown in Table 12A.
- the levels of octreotide absorption from rat jejunum after administration of octreotide in basic formulation and simplified formulation were obtained. Exposure values, AUC (0-25), were determined.
- Example 21 Effect on formulation activity of replacing castor oil by octanoic acid.
- ricinoleic acid (Spectrum) was also tested by making a dextran formulation containing octanoic acid/ ricinoleic acid.
- Ricinoleic acid was chosen since the main triglyceride component in castor oil is formed from ricinoleic acid.
- Three formulations of dextran were prepared as shown in Table 15A below.
- the basic dextran formulation was prepared essentially as described in the above Examples.
- the dextran octanoic formulation was prepared essentially as described in the above Examples but wherein castor oil, glyceryl tributyrate and ethyl iso- valerate were replaced by octanoic acid.
- the dextran ricinoleic/octanoic acid formulation was prepared essentially as described in the above Examples but wherein castor oil, glyceryl tributyrate and ethyl iso-valerate were replaced by a mixture of octanoic acid and ricinoleic acid. This formulation was a suspension as is usual for most of the formulations of this invention.
- Octreotide formulations The effect on formulation activity of varying the amount of octanoic acid was tested using formulations containing octreotide as cargo.
- Four formulations of octreotide were prepared using 0%, 5%, 10% or 15% octanoic acid as shown in Table 17 below.
- the formulations are basic octreotide formulations prepared essentially as described above wherein the amount of octanoic acid varies as described and the amount of other ingredients in the hydrophobic medium, (ethyl isovalerate and glyceryl tributyrate ) was concomitantly reduced. (In these formulations the hydrophilic fraction was simplified to omit MgC ⁇ and MC400.)
- Exenatide formulations The effect on formulation activity of varying the amount of octanoic acid was tested using formulations containing exenatide as cargo. Five formulations of exenatide were prepared using 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% or 35% octanoic acid as shown in Table 18 below. The formulations are basic exenatide formulations prepared essentially as described above wherein the amount of octanoic acid varies as described and the amount of other ingredients in the hydrophobic medium (ethyl isovalerate and glyceryl tributyrate ) was concomitantly reduced. Table 18
- Example 23 Effect of different medium chain fatty acid salts.
- Sodium sebacate (disodium salt of decanedioic acid): The effect on formulation activity of replacing sodium octanoate by sodium sebacate (disodium ClO salt) in a dextran formulation was tested.
- the sodium sebacate was prepared in situ from sebacic acid (Aldrich) and sodium hydroxide. The formulation produced is described in Table 20 below. The formulation was prepared essentially as described above but 12% sodium octanoate was replaced by sodium sebacate, at the same molar concentration as sodium octanoate i.e. an equimolar amount of sodium sebacate was used (viz., 0.72M).
- Table 20 The formulation was prepared essentially as described above but 12% sodium octanoate was replaced by sodium sebacate, at the same molar concentration as sodium octanoate i.e. an equimolar amount of sodium sebacate was used (viz., 0.72M).
- Octreotide-containing formulations were prepared wherein 12% sodium octanoate was replaced by an equimolar amount (0.72M) of mono-sodium suberate or of di-sodium suberate, which are C8 salts. These sodium salts were prepared in situ from suberic acid (Tokyo Chemical Industry Co.) and sodium hydroxide.
- the medium chain fatty acid salt acts as a permeability enhancer (by facilitating or enhancing permeability and/or absorption of the therapeutic agent), and that the PVP serves to increase the effect of the permeability enhancer in a synergistic manner since the PVP alone has virtually no effect. See also Example 31.
- Example 25 A comparative study of C8, C9 and ClO medium chain fatty acid salts viz., sodium octanoate, sodium nonanoate and sodium decanoate
- Example 26 Dose response of sodium octanoate The dose response of sodium octanoate at 12%, 15% and 18% was tested by making the formulations shown in Table 31. These are all basic formulations prepared essentially as described above where the hydrophilic fraction has been simplified to omit MgCl 2 and MC400 and the cargo compound was octreotide. Additionally the formulation was corrected for viscosity i.e. the same or similar viscosity was maintained for all three formulations; this was achieved by varying the amounts of castor oil and glyceryl tributyrate.
- Example 27 Investigation of the effect of varying the hydrophilic /lipophilic balance of the surfactants in the formulation Table 33 below describes various octreotide formulations.
- the first column, formulation (a), is the basic formulation prepared essentially as described above where the hydrophilic fraction has been simplified to omit MgC ⁇ andMC400, and the cargo compound is octreotide.
- the surfactants are Span 40, lecithin and glyceryl monooleate, and by calculation the HLB is approximately 5-6.
- octreotide formulations were prepared using 10% PVP- 12 and 15% sodium octanoate, and varying the ratio of glyceryl tricaprylate to castor oil. Additionally, glyceryl monooleate and glyceryl tributyrate were replaced (if used) by glyceryl monocaprylate and glyceryl tricaprylate (both supplied by Abitec). This is to maintain the C8 motif within the formulation.
- the hydrophilic fraction contains a salt of a C8 acid (octanoate) and the hydrophobic medium contains monoglycerides and triglycerides incorporating the same C8 acid.
- the inventors believe that the use of C- 8 compounds in both the hydrophilic fraction and in the hydrophobic medium may be advantageous for bioavailability.
- the amounts of Tween 80 and glyceryl monocaprylate were also varied in the formulations. The formulations were prepared are shown in Table 35 A below. Formulations I, II, V and VI were semi-solid (apparently suspensions) and formulations III and IV were the usual liquid suspensions.
- Example 29 Detailed production process for a selected (improved) octreotide formulation
- Example 28 The octreotide formulation in Example 28 (Table 6, first column) was prepared essentially as described in the above Examples. Below follows the detailed production process for this formulation. Production of the hydrophilic fraction:
- PVP- 12 was dissolved in half of the above amount of water.
- Example 30 Experiments in pigs using capsules
- an animal model allowing capsule administration to pigs (domestic swine) was established.
- a well established model in dogs (“Nipple Valve model”; Wilsson-Rahmberg & O. Jonsson, Laboratory Animals (1997), 31, 231-240) was adapted to the commercial pig.
- the two octreotide formulations shown below in Table 37 were prepared.
- the octreotide (x) formulation was prepared essentially as described above for the basic formulation wherein the hydrophilic fraction has been simplified to omit MgCl 2 and MC400.
- the octreotide (y) formulation was prepared essentially as described above for the improved octreotide formulation.
- the formulations were filled into gelatin capsules (from Capsugel), basic formulation(x) at 0.42 mL/capsule and improved formulation (y) at 0.44mL/capsule, resulting in 5mg net octreotide content in both types of filled capsules.
- the capsules were not enteric-coated i.e. they were uncoated.
- the level of bioavailability in pigs of octreotide administered in aqueous solution is extrapolated to be about 0.1%. This level of bioavailability is below the level of sensitivity of the bioassay used for pigs.
- Example 31 Dose-response results for PVP in the Improved Formulation.
- Example 24 Further to the PVP results in Example 24, the effect on activity of increasing the amount of PVP- 12 in the improved formulation was studied.
- the improved formulations made essentially as described above, contained octreotide as cargo compound and different doses of PVP- 12 as shown in Table 39 below.
- the PVP- 12 doses tested were 7.5%, 10.0% and 15.0% PVP- 12.
- the formulations containing 10% and 15.0% PVP were semi-solid i.e. they were apparently semi-solid suspensions- and the formulation containing 7.5% PVP was a viscous suspension.
- Three different basic formulations of three different cargo compounds were prepared (dextran, gentamicin and exenatide), essentially as described above (wherein the basic formulation is the basic non-simplified hydrophilic fraction). Each of these three formulations was administered directly to the jejunum of non-anesthetized rats, and plasma cargo levels were measured post- formulation administration. Exposure values, AUC, were determined for the formulations. Additionally, a similar formulation was prepared with a non-relevant cargo compound (a mock formulation). Separately, the mock formulation was administered concomitantly with dextran, gentamicin or exenatide in aqueous solution and exposure values, AUC, were determined.
- Concomitant administration was achieved by administrating cargo in aqueous solution immediately followed by mock formulation administration via a jejunal- implanted cannula (gastric bypass). For each compound, exposure after administration of the formulated cargo was compared to exposure after administration of the unformulated cargo (concomitant).
- the comparative results are shown below in Table 41. The results show that there is higher activity (bioavailability) when the cargo is formulated compared to unformulated (concomitant) in all three cases, and that exenatide showed by far the greatest increase in activity due to formulation.
- dextran and gentamicin are compounds that are not sensitive to protease degradation, whereas exenatide being a peptide is subject to degradation by intestinal enzymes. The large difference in activity between the formulated exenatide compared to unformulated exenatide may be due to the protective effect of the formulation against degradation.
- Example 33 Intestinal hyper permeability evaluation
- FITC-labeled dextrans of different molecular weight were chosen to serve as molecular markers to test increased intestinal permeability; the average molecular weight of the five dextrans was 4.4, 10, 20, 40 and 70 kDa, equivalent to a radius of 14, 23, 33, 45 and 60 A respectively.
- These different size markers were administered directly to the jejunum of non-anaesthetized rats, through an intestinal implanted cannula, and showed virtually no basal intestinal penetration when tested alone. Each of these markers was then administered directly to the jejunum of non- anesthetized rats together with 300 ⁇ L of basic formulation, and the degree of its penetration was evaluated by testing dextran levels in blood.
- the plasma dextran levels were measured pre-dosing and at 3', 6', 10', 25', 60', 90'minutes post formulation administration. Exposure values, AUC (0-90), were determined and the results are shown in Figure 7. Data is presented as MEAN ⁇ SD, n>4.
- Table 42 demonstrates that potentially hazardous molecules present in the intestine are above the cutoff size of permeability enhancement by the tested formulations, as shown above. Thus these results suggest that the tested formulations will not facilitate penetration of hazardous molecules through the intestinal barrier and these formulations can therefore be considered as safe. Other formulations of the invention give similar results.
- the formulation causes no damage to the intestinal tissue, but acts by specifically opening the intestinal barrier, showing no additive permeability enhancing effect.
- Example 34 Intestinal hyperpermeability evaluation: time-course and reversibility
- FITC-labeled dextran (average molecular weight 4.4kDa, FD4), which has virtually no basal intestinal penetration, served as a molecular marker to test intestinal permeability.
- An experiment was designed in which the dextran marker was administered concomitant to the formulation (by a jejunal implanted cannula), or at different time intervals from the formulation administration (by a second separate jejunal implanted cannula). Intestinal permeability was evaluated by testing FD4 penetration to blood.
- Rats were administered a basic formulation concomitant with the dextran marker, or the basic formulation and then the dextran marker at different intervals of time (10, 30 and 60 minutes). Blood samples were analyzed for dextran concentration pre-administration and at 3, 6, 10, 25, 60 and 90 min following dextran administration. The results are shown in Figure 8. Data is presented as Mean ⁇ SD, n>5.
- Figure 8 demonstrates that the dextran marker penetrates the intestine to the highest extent when administered together with the formulation. An interval of 10 minutes between administration of the formulation and administration of the dextran marker results in significantly decreased amount of marker penetration, and increasing the interval further results in exponential reduction of marker penetration.
- octreotide In order to test the pharmacokinetics of octreotide following oral administration of formulated octreotide to monkeys, five Cynomologus monkeys were orally dosed with capsules containing an improved castor oil formulation of octreotide (similar to formulation I of Table 35 - but with higher load of octreotide).
- the capsules used were size 1 gelatin capsules coated with 6.7% Acryl-EZE® enteric coating; this coating prevents capsule disintegration in the stomach and allows opening of the capsules in the small intestine of the dosed animals.
- the octreotide dose used was 5mg/capsule.
- Example 37 Formulations incorporating vancomycin, interferon-alfa and terlipressin A.
- Vancomycin Table 43 below describes a vancomycin improved formulation, containing 10% PVP and 15% sodium octanoate in the hydrophilic fraction, and containing glyceryl tricaprylate as the main constituent of the hydrophobic medium. The vancomycin was obtained from Gold Biotechnology.
- Interferon-alfa Table 44 below describes an interferon- alf a improved formulation, containing 10% PVP and 15% sodium octanoate in the hydrophilic fraction, and containing glyceryl tricaprylate as the main constituent of the hydrophobic medium.
- the interferon-alfa is supplied in a buffer (from Intas Biopharmaceuticals) and the ingredients of the interferon-alfa buffer in the formulation are marked by an asterisk (*).
- Terlipressin Table 45 below describes a terlipressin basic formulation and a terlipressin improved formulation containing 10% PVP and 15% sodium octanoate in the hydrophilic fraction, and containing glyceryl tricaprylate as the main constituent of the hydrophobic medium.
- the terlipressin was obtained from Bambio.
- the basic formulation was prepared essentially as described above and the improved formulation is also prepared essentially as described above.
- Example 38 Inhibition of growth hormone in vivo by octreotide
- octreotide is the inhibition of growth hormone release.
- a rat model was used in which endogenous rat growth hormone (rGH) levels were monitored following octreotide formulation administration to the jejunum of the non-anesthetized rat model (described above).
- rGH endogenous rat growth hormone
- Administration of a basic octreotide formulation (containing 12% sodium octanoate) to the jejunum of rats was shown to reduce rGH levels by 87.4% compared to administration of a saline control.
- a 28-day toxicity administration study of formulation control was performed in Wistar rats.
- the animals in the test group were daily administered rectally with the maximal feasible dose of formulation (100 ⁇ L/animal/day) for 28 consecutive days.
