TOPIRAMATE SALTS AND COMPOSITIONS
COMPRISING AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME
} 1. FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates to compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and methods for ‘ the treatment or prevention of seizures, epilepsy, tremors, affective disorders, obesity, neuropathic pain, and migraines. 2. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 2.1. TOPIRAMATE
Topiramate is a sulfamate-substituted monosaccharide, which is chemically named 2,3:4,5-Di-O-isopropylidene-3-D-fructopyranose sulfamate. ~The molecular formula of topiramate is C;2H,1NOgS, and its chemical structure is represented by formula I:
OSO,NH
IS _— 2 2 (LC & x o 3 — 5 1)
Topiramate is a white crystalline powder with a solubility in water of 9.8 mg/mL, and it is freely soluble in acetone, chloroform, dimethylsulfoxide, and ethanol. See, Physician's
Desk Reference, 56™ ed., pp. 2590-2595 (2002).
Topiramate is sold in the United States under the trade name TOPAMAX® (Ortho- . McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc., Raritan, NJ, U.S.A). TOPAMAX® has been approved for use as an antiepileptic agent as an adjuvant therapy for patients with partial onset seizures, or ’ primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures. See generally, Physician's Desk Reference, 56™ ed., 2590-2595 (2002); see also, U.S. Patent No. 4,513,006. Adverse effects associated with . the administration of topiramate include, but are not limited to, somnolence, dizziness, ataxia, speech disorders and related speech problems, psychomotor slowing, abnormal vision,
difficulty with memory, paresthesia, diplopia, renal calculi (kidney stones), hepatic failure, pancreatitis, renal tubular acidosis, acute myopia and secondary angle closure glaucoma.
Physician’s Desk Reference, 56" ed., pp. 2590-2595 (2002). : Topiramate has been investigated for use as anti-obesity agent, a blood pressure lowering agent, and a mood stabilizer, including use as an antimanic, antidepressant, and for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, migraines, cluster headaches, and neuropathic - pain. See, e.g, U.S. Pat Nos. 6,191,117; 6,201,010; 5,753,693; 5,998,380; 6,319,903; 5,935,933; and 5,760,007. However, the time it takes for topiramate to reach peak plasma levels (i.e., about two hours) may be too slow for its effective use in the treatment of some conditions, such as neuropathic pain. Moreover, the compound’s relatively low aqueous solubility makes it difficult to provide in a controlled release dosage form, which may be necessary for the effective treatment of conditions such as obesity, and which may allow a reduction in adverse effects associated with peak plasma levels of the drug. Therefore, new highly soluble and bioavailable forms of topiramate are needed in order to increase the safety and effectiveness of the compound. 2.2. EPILEPSY, SEIZURES, AND TREMORS
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder or condition characterized by recurring motor, sensory, or behavioral or psychic alterations or malfunctions that can include unconsciousness or convulsive movements. See Valente LR, Clinician Reviews, 10(3): 79 (2000). A variety of seizure types can occur, from partial seizures to generalized seizures.
There are three classifications of partial seizures: simple, complex, and secondarily generalized. A patient with a simple partial seizure (also called Jacksonian seizure) may experience jerking or shaking in one area of the body, which may progress to other areas. A simple partial seizure may also manifest with somatosensory, visual, auditory, olfactory, autonomic (sweating, pupillary dilation, epigastric rising), or psychic symptoms. With complex partial seizures, the patient’s consciousness may be impaired, either immediately, or gradually over time after simple partial onset. Patients experiencing a complex partial seizure will often exhibit a blank stare followed by automatism, which may include lip smacking, chewing, picking at clothing, or purposeless walking. Finally, secondarily generalized seizures can evolve directly from simple partial or complex partial seizures, or progress from simple partial to complex partial to generalized. See, Leppik IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient With Epilepsy. 4™ Ed., Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health
Care Co (1999).
Generalized seizures can be convulsive or nonconvulsive, but always involve a loss of consciousness. Absence seizures (formerly called "petit mal") may be typical or atypical, and are strongly linked to genetic predisposition. Typical absence seizures may be precipitated ’ by photic stimulation or hyperventilation. The symptoms include a blank stare, eye blinking, and in some instances automatisms, and the patient may experience increased or decreased tone. These brief seizures tend to occur in groups, and can occur 50 to 100 times in a day. - See, Leppik IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient With Epilepsy. 4™
Ed., Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health Care Co (1999). Atypical absence seizures, begin and end less abruptly the typical absence seizures, but last longer and result in more pronounced changes in tone.
Myoclonic seizures manifest with quick, involuntary muscle jerks lasting a few seconds. These muscle jerks or movements may be isolated to one body part or involve the entire body. Myoclonic seizures may accompany other generalized seizures and are common to specific epilepsy syndromes. Tonic seizures are generally associated with other epileptic syndromes, and typically last less than a minute. Tonic seizures involve violent spasm or stiffening, and in many instances, the lower extremities are extended and the upper extremities are flexed. In addition, the patient may turn the head or eyes to one side. Clonic seizures, most common in neonates and children, also exhibit repetitive muscular jerks but at a slower rate, and while clonic seizures can last as long as several minutes, brief episodes are more common. See, Leppik IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient
With Epilepsy. 4™ Ed., Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health Care Co (1999).
Generalized tonic-clonic seizures (also called "grand mal") are the ones most commonly identified with epilepsy and are the most dramatic. They can occur at any age but are rare in very young infants. See Morton et al., “Diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in children and adolescents”, Drugs. 51:399-414 (1996). They start with a sudden-onset tonic phase, typically lasting less than a minute, and all of the skeletal muscles contract at once, causing the patient to fall stiffly. In addition, the patient’s diaphragm and chest muscles will contract, forcing out air in an sigh or "epileptic cry." During the clonic phase, the patient ’ may clench the jaws, biting the inside of the cheek or side of the tongue with the molars, and consciousness may not return for 10 to 15 minutes. The patient will often be left feeling confusion, fatigue, and headache, which can last several hours to several days. See, Leppik
IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient With Epilepsy. 4" Ed.
Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health Care Co (1999).
Atonic seizures result in a sudden loss of postural tone, causing the patient to fall. In a few seconds, the patient will regain full consciousness. Atonic seizures are commonly associated with other seizure types and are common in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. See, ) Leppik IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient With Epilepsy. 4" Ed,
Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health Care Co (1999).
Other epileptic conditions include juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and Lennox-Gastaut - syndrome. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy often begins during the teenage years, and is a generalized, idiopathic epileptic syndrome, often exhibiting three seizure types: myoclonic, absence, and generalized tonic-clonic. Many patients will manifest clumsiness or jitters, which are exacerbated by stress. Lennox-Gastaut syndrome may be symptomatic (brain lesion identified) or cryptogenic (brain lesion assumed), and the generalized syndrome may include atypical absence, tonic, atonic, and tonic-clonic seizures. Often, patients suffering from Lennox-Gastaut syndrome will have varying degrees of psychomotor retardation. See,
Leppik IE. Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of the Patient With Epilepsy. 4M Ed,
Newtown, PA: Handbooks in Health Care Co (1999), and Beaumanoir et al., “The Lennox-
Gastaut syndrome”, In: Roger ef al, “Epileptic Syndromes in Infancy, Childhood, and
Adolescence”, 2" Ed., London, England: John Libby, pp. 231-244 (1992).
Currently, there are a number of drugs available that are used to treat epilepsy or epileptic conditions, and they are commonly referred to as anticonvulsants or antiepileptics.
These drugs include older anticonvulsants, such as phenobarbital, primidone, and phenytoin, and more recent anticonvulsants, such as carbamazepine; valproic acid; felbamate; gabapentin; lamotrigine; tiagabine; topiramate; levetiracetam, and oxacarbazepine. In most cases, the newer anticonvulsants are approved as adjunctive therapy for use in conjunction with other anticonvulsants, although some of these have been approved or demonstrated efficacy as a monotherapy. See U.S. Patent No. 6,309,406.
Common tremors, including essential, familial, and senile tremors, are relatively common in people over forty, but can also result from or be made worse by stimulants (e.g., caffeine) or during periods of stress or anxiety. In the beginning, tremors may be localized in the upper extremities, such as the hands, but can also include movements or nodding of the head, with both often occurring as a patient ages. In addition, the lips, tongue, jaw, and larynx may be involved in tremors, and they can sometimes result in a noticeable quiver in the voice of the patient.
The most common treatment for tremors are beta-blockers (e.g., propanolol) and sedatives (such as benzodiazepines and barbituates). In addition, some patients may “self- medicate” using alcohol due to its sedative properties. 2.3. OBESITY
Obesity is one of the most prevalent medical disorders afflicting humans today, : affecting more than 30% of the population. Obesity can result in a number of other medical conditions or complications, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, insulin resistance, sleep apnea, cholecystitis, osteoarthritis, and cancer. Body mass index, or BMI, is common used to measure obesity, and is calculated by dividing the patient’s weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared. The severity or degree of obesity is then determined by comparing a patient’s BMI with standard deviations above the
BMI means for males and females.
At present, scientists do not know the exact etiology of obesity, although generally it occurs when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. In addition, it appears that genetic predisposition may play a role in the amount and distribution of body fat in a patient, and this may also be under some hormonal control. 2.4. NEUROPATHIC PAIN
Neuropathic pain describes pain that is associated with damage or permanent alteration of the peripheral or central nervous system. Neuropathic pain includes, but is not limited to, neuralgia, trigeminal neurologia, diabetic neuropathy and other forms of nerve damage, allodynia, paraesthesia, hyperaesthesia, phantom pain, phantom limb pain, hyperalgesia, and tinnitus. See Taylor and Meldrum, Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 16:309-316 (1995); and Simpson and Davies, Trends Pharmacol. Sci., 20:12-18 (1999). Clinical manifestations of neuropathic pain include a sensation of burning or electric shock, feelings of bodily distortion, allodynia and hyperalgesia. The term allodynia describes the phenomenon of the perception of stimuli which are not painful per se, such as contact or heat/cold, as pain. See Rogers and Valley, Clin Podiatr Med Surg.,_11(1): 73-83 (January 1994). 2.5. OTHER DISORDERS
Manic-depressive illnesses, such as manic-depressive bipolar disorder, are progressive psychiatric disorders of unknown etiology, although there are some hypotheses that recurrences of manic-depressive illness arise by electrophysiologic kindling. See, Goodwin and Jamison, Manic-Depressive Illness, Oxford University Press, New York, pp. 405-407 (1990). It is believed that topiramate may be useful in treating manic-depressive illnesses, as ’ it has been shown to be effective in blocking kindled seizures in rats. See U.S. Patent No. 5,753,693; and Wauquier ef al., Epilepsy Res., 24:73-77 (1996).
Migraine is a neurological disorder that is characterized by recurrent attacks of headache, with pain most often occurring on one side of the head, accompanied by various combinations of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. The migraine can occur at any time of day or night, but occurs most frequently on arising in the morning. Routine activity or slight head movement typically makes the pain worse. These episodes can last from several hours to several days and are often disabling. During the attack the pain may migrate from one part of the head to another, and may radiate down the neck into the shoulder. Scalp tenderness occurs in the majority of patients during or after an attack.
Migraine with aura, or classic migraine, refers to a severe, throbbing headache that is often preceded by visual, motor, or sensory symptoms, called an “aura.” Migraines can also occur without an aura, which is called common migraine.
Migraine is familial and often hereditary, and is most common in women, particularly young adult women. Common characteristics of migraine include: moderate to severe headache lasting from four to 72 hours; pain that is often, but not always, located on one side of the head and throbbing; pain is aggravated by moving or physical activity; pain is often accompanied with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sound, and odors. Following a migraine attack, many patients will feel tired, washed out, irritable, or listless or have impaired concentration.
There are a number of drugs that are currently available for prophylactic treatment of migraine, including propanolol, amitriptyline, valproate, verapamil, phenelzine, and methysergid, as well as aspirin-like drugs, including aspirin, naproxen, ibuprofen, mefenamic acid, flufenamic acid, and tolfenamic acid. Typically, these drugs must be taken daily, and some are associated with severe adverse effects or the high dosage amounts required for effectiveness make them undesirable. In any event, the estimated probability of success with any one of these prophylactic antimigraine drugs is about 60 to 75%. See, Harrison's
Principles of Internal Medicine, eds. Isselbacher et al., McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, p. 69 : (1994).
Cluster headache (also called "migrainous neuralgia") has been recognized for over 100 years, although the condition has been given many different names, such as erythroprosopalgia, Raeder's syndrome, spenopalatine neuralgia, ciliary neuralgia, vidian ’ neuralgia, and histamine cephalalgia. There are several types of cluster headaches, including: the episodic type, which is the most common, is characterized by one to three short-lived attacks of periorbital pain per day over a 4 to 8 week period, followed by a pain-free interval, the chronic form, also called chronic migrainous neuralgia, which may begin without previous occurrence of episodic type cluster headache, or several years after an episodic pattern, and is characterized by the absence of sustained periods of remission. See A.
Kudrow, “The pathogenesis of a cluster headache”, Curr. Opin. Neurol., 7:278-282 (1994).
The pain associated with a cluster headache starts quickly, without warning, and is often excruciating in intensity, and is deep, nonfluctuating, and explosive in quality; only occasionally is it pulsatile. Pain usually begins in, around, or above the eye or the temple, although occasionally the face, neck, ear, or hemicranium may be affected. It is always unilateral, and generally affects the same side in subsequent bouts. Periodicity is a characteristic feature in most cluster headache patients, with attacks lasting from ten minutes to several hours, often repeating in very close intervals, and many also experience additional attacks that occur randomly throughout the day.
The most common associated symptom of cluster headache is lacrimation from the eye on the affected side. In addition, a blocked nasal passage, rhinorrhea, red eye, and sweating and pallor of the forehead and cheek are often found, but their absence does not exclude the diagnosis. A transitory, partial Homer's syndrome (pupillary miosis and lid ptosis) occurs in two-thirds of patients when they are examined during attacks, and is highly characteristic of the cluster headache syndrome and, after repeated occurrences, may become a permanent feature.
Cluster headache more often afflicts men than women, and most patients begin experiencing headache between the ages of 20 and 50 years, though cluster headaches can start to occur as early as the first decade and as late as the eighth decade. 3. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Topiramate can be made using various methods known to those skilled in the art. For example, methods for the chemical synthesis of topiramate are described in U.S. Patent
No. 4,513,006, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Other methods well known in the art for preparing topiramate may also be used, including, for example, those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,319,903, 5,387,700; 5,258,402, 5,384,327, 5,242,942, 4,792,569, 2,554,816 and 2,980,679, all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
The present invention involves the unexpected discovery that the sulfamate (- OSO,NH,) group of topiramate is slightly acidic and thus may be a handle for generation of salts, co-crystals, and complexes with the basic compounds such as, but not limited to, caffeine, N-methyl pyrrolidine, nicotine, nicotinamide, and ethers such as PEGs (examples include but are not limited to PEG 200 and PEG 300). Salts are often associated with improved chemical stability and increased solubility of drugs leading to better delivery of drug to the body, by reducing unwanted degradation product exposure and increasing levels of drug in the body. Salt forms of drugs therefore constitute a useful set of options for development of drug formulations.
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate can be prepared by treating topiramate with appropriate bases, such as organic or inorganic bases. Bases that can be used to prepare pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate are those that form non-toxic base addition salts, i.e., salts containing pharmacologically acceptable cations, including, but not limited to, sodium, potassium, lithium, magnesium, calcium, aluminum, zinc, procaine, benzathine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethylamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, benethamine, clemizole, diethylamine, piperazine, tromethamine, triethylamine,
ethanolamine, triethanolamine, arginine, lysine, histidine, {tributylamine, 2-amino-2- pentylpropanol, 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane, benzylamine, 2-(dimethylamino)ethanol, barium or bismuth counter ions. Particularly ’ preferred cations are sodium, lithium, and potassium. The most preferred cation is sodium.
Crystallization of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate can be accomplished by several means, as would be apparent to one skilled in the art. For instance, saturation of an aqueous solution of the salt can be increased by cooling, and the cooling curve can be a determinant of the particle properties (e.g., size, habit) that result from a crystallization process. Alternatively, addition of an anti-solvent (or non-solvent), such as an alcohol or other water miscible solvent, can be used to increase saturation of the salt form in the medium and hence effect nucleation and growth of crystals. Examples of anti-solvents include, but are not limited to, iso-propanol, THF, and ethanol. Preferably, ethanol would be used, due to its azeotrope with water, anti-solvent quality with many salt forms, and pharmaceutical acceptance.
Co-crystals and complexes of topiramate and other compounds can be prepared using conventional crystallization techniques, e.g., from solutions comprising topiramate and the other compounds. Crystallization from melts of topiramate and other compounds may also be used to prepare co-crystals or complexes of topiramate. For example, a co-crystal or complex of topiramate and caffeine can be prepared by melting and recrystallizing caffeine, allowing such to cool, then contacting topiramate melt with the recrystallized caffeine, and allowing this to cool. In a particular method, caffeine is melted and recrystallized between a glass slide and glass cover slip on a hot-stage microscope (such as a Mettler-Toledo
FP950tstage mounted on a Zeiss Axioplan II polarized light microscope). The hot-stage is allowed to cool to about 30°C. Topiramate is then placed on a glass slide in contact with the edge of the glass cover slip. The solid topiramate is melted and the melt is allowed to come into contact with the recrystallized caffeine. The temperature of the hotstage is lowered (e.g., to about 70°C) and held there overnight. During that time the melted topiramate recrystallizes and a cocrystalline phase crystallizes between the caffeine and topiramate ) regions. The slide can then be heated to determined the melting point of the caffeine:topiramate co-crystal.
The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate, or polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, dehydrates, co-crystals, anhydrous, and amorphous forms thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms thereof, of the invention possess potent activity as antiepileptics, anticonvulsants, anti-obesity agents, and mood stabilizers. For example, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate, or polymorphs, solvates, hydrates, dehydrates, co-crystals, anhydrous, or amorphous forms thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms thereof, of the invention can be used to treat ’ or prevent a variety of diseases and conditions including, but not limited to, seizures, epileptic conditions, tremors, obesity, cerebral function disorders, neuropathic pain, affective disorders, migraine, and cluster headaches. 41. METHODS OF TREATMENT AND PREVENTION
The magnitude of a prophylactic or therapeutic dose of each active ingredient in the acute or chronic management of a disease or disorder will vary with the disease or disorder itself, the specific active ingredients, and the route of administration. The dose, dose frequency, or both, may also vary according to age, body weight, response, and the past medical history of the patient. Suitable dosing regimens can be readily selected by the skilled artisan with due consideration of such factors by following, for example, dosages and dose regimens reported in the literature and recommended in the Physician's Desk Reference® (56™ ed., 2002). Unless otherwise indicated, the magnitude of a prophylactic or therapeutic dose of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate used in an embodiment of the invention will be that which is safe and effective (e.g., has received regulatory approval).
In. one embodiment of the invention, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate (e.g, topiramate sodium, topiramate lithium, or topiramate potassium) is administered as needed in an amount of from about 10 mg to about 1500 mg, preferably in an amount of from about 25 mg to about 1000 mg, more preferably in an amount from about 50 mg to about 75 mg, and most preferably in an amount of from about 100 mg to about 500 mg.
When considering dosing and comparisons of clinical data resulting from the use of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate of the invention, the skilled artisan will readily understand that the equivalents of topiramate in the salt form should be considered.
For example, the ratio of molecular mass of topiramate sodium trihydrate to free form topiramate 1s 1.224, and thus a dose of about 122 mg of topiramate sodium trihydrate is equivalent to about 100 mg dose of topiramate. The dosage amounts and frequencies provided above are encompassed by the terms “therapeutically effective,” “prophylactically effective,” and “therapeutically or prophylactically effective” as used herein.
The suitability of a particular route of administration employed for a particular active ingredient will depend on the active ingredient itself (e.g., whether it can be administered orally without decomposing prior to entering the blood stream) and the disease or disorder to be treated or prevented. For example, topical administration is typically preferred for treating . or preventing local diseases or disorders of the skin, while oral or parenteral administration is typically preferred for systemic diseases or disorders, or diseases or disorders within the body of the patient. Similarly, oral or parenteral administration may be preferred for the treatment or prevention of acute diseases or disorders, whereas transdermal or subcutaneous routes of administration may typically be employed for treatment or prevention of a chronic disease or disorder. 4.2. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS AND DOSAGE FORMS
Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form thereof. Specific salts of topiramate include, but are not limited to, topiramate sodium, topiramate lithium, and topiramate potassium. Specific co-crystals of topiramate include, but are not limited to, co- crystals of caffeine. Pharmaceutical compositions and unit dosage forms of the invention typically also comprise one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or diluents.
Pharmaceutical unit dosage forms of this invention are suitable for oral, mucosal (e.g, nasal, sublingual, vaginal, buccal, or rectal), parenteral (e.g., intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, intraarterial, or bolus injection), topical, or transdermal administration to a patient. Examples of dosage forms include, but are not limited to: tablets; caplets; capsules, such as hard gelatin capsules and soft elastic gelatin capsules; cachets; troches; lozenges; dispersions; suppositories; ointments; cataplasms (poultices); pastes; powders; dressings; creams; plasters; solutions; patches; aerosols (e.g., nasal sprays or inhalers); gels; liquid dosage forms suitable for oral or mucosal administration to a patient, including suspensions (e.g, aqueous or non-aqueous liquid suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, or water-in-oil liquid emulsions), solutions, and elixirs; liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient; and sterile solids (e.g, crystalline or amorphous solids) that can be reconstituted to provide liquid dosage forms suitable for parenteral administration to a patient.
The composition, shape, and type of dosage forms of the invention will typically vary depending on their use. For example, a dosage form used in the acute treatment of a disease or disorder may contain larger amounts of the active ingredient than a dosage form used in the chronic treatment of the same disease or disorder. Similarly, a parenteral dosage form may contain smaller amounts of the active ingredient than an oral dosage form used to treat the same disease or disorder. These and other ways in which specific dosage forms encompassed by this invention will vary from one another will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. See, e.g., Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18% ed., Mack Publishing,
Easton, PA (1990).
Typical pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprise one or more excipients. Suitable excipients are well known to those skilled in the art of pharmacy or : pharmaceutics, and non-limiting examples of suitable excipients are provided herein.
Whether a particular excipient is suitable for incorporation into a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form depends on a variety of factors well known in the art including, but not limited to, the way in which the dosage form will be administered to a patient. For example, oral dosage forms such as tablets or capsules may contain excipients not suited for use in parenteral dosage forms. The suitability of a particular excipient may also depend on the specific active ingredients in the dosage form. For example, the decomposition of some active ingredients can be accelerated by some excipients such as lactose, or when exposed to water. Active ingredients that comprise primary or secondary amines are particularly susceptible to such accelerated decomposition.
The invention further encompasses pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise one or more compounds that reduce the rate by which an active ingredient will decompose. Such compounds, which are referred to herein as “stabilizers,” include, but are not limited to, antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, pH buffers, or salt buffers. In addition, pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms of the invention may contain one or more solubility modulators, such as sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, sodium or potassium phosphate or organic acids. A specific solubility modulator is tartaric acid.
Like the amounts and types of excipients, the amounts and specific type of active ingredient in a dosage form may differ depending on factors such as, but not limited to, the route by which it is to be administered to patients. However, typical dosage forms of the invention comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate, or a pharmaceutically acceptable polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form ’ thereof, in an amount of from about 10 mg to about 1000 mg, preferably in an amount of from about 25 mg to about 750 mg, and more preferably in an amount of from 50 mg to 500 mg.
4.2.1. ORAL DOSAGE FORMS
Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention that are suitable for oral administration can be presented as discrete dosage forms, such as, but not limited to, tablets (including ’ without limitation scored or coated tablets), pills, caplets, capsules, chewable tablets, powder packets, cachets, troches, wafers, aerosol sprays, or liquids, such as but not limited to, syrups, elixirs, solutions or suspensions in an aqueous liquid, a non-aqueous liquid, an oil-in-water emulsion, or a water-in-oil emulsion. Such compositions contain a predetermined amount of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate, and may be prepared by methods of pharmacy well known to those skilled in the art. See generally, Remington's Pharmaceutical
Sciences, 18™ ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, PA (1990).
Typical oral dosage forms of the invention are prepared by combining the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate in an intimate admixture with at least one excipient according to conventional pharmaceutical compounding techniques. Excipients ‘can take a wide variety of forms depending on the form of the composition desired for administration. For example, excipients suitable for use in oral liquid or aerosol dosage forms include, but are not limited to, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, and coloring agents. Examples of excipients suitable for use in solid oral dosage forms (e.g., powders, tablets, capsules, and caplets) include, but are not limited to, starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, kaolin, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, and disintegrating agents.
Due to their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most advantageous solid oral dosage unit forms, in which case solid pharmaceutical excipients are used. If desired, tablets can be coated by standard aqueous or nonaqueous techniques. These dosage forms can be prepared by any of the methods of pharmacy. In general, pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms are prepared by uniformly and intimately admixing the active ingredient(s) with liquid carriers, finely divided solid carriers, or both, and then shaping the product into the desired presentation if necessary.
For example, a tablet can be prepared by compression or molding. Compressed tablets can be prepared by compressing in a suitable machine the active ingredient(s) in a free-flowing form, such as a powder or granules, optionally mixed with one or more excipients. Molded tablets can be made by molding in a suitable machine a mixture of the powdered compound moistened with an inert liquid diluent.
Examples of excipients that can be used in oral dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, binders, fillers, disintegrants, and lubricants. Binders suitable for use in pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms include, but are not limited to, corn starch, potato starch, or other starches, gelatin, natural and synthetic gums such as acacia, sodium alginate, alginic acid, other alginates, powdered tragacanth, guar gum, cellulose and its derivatives (e.g., ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl cellulose, pre-gelatinized starch, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, (e.g., Nos. 2208, 2906, 2910), microcrystalline cellulose, and mixtures thereof. :
Suitable forms of microcrystalline cellulose include, but are not limited to, the materials sold as AVICEL-PH-101, AVICEL-PH-103 AVICEL RC-581, and AVICEL-PH- 105 (available from FMC Corporation, American Viscose Division, Avicel Sales, Marcus
Hook, PA, U.S.A), and mixtures thereof. An exemplary suitable binder is a mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose sold as AVICEL RC-581.
Suitable anhydrous or low moisture excipients or additives include AVICEL-PH-103™ and
Starch 1500 LM.
Examples of fillers suitable for use in the pharmaceutical compositions and dosage : forms disclosed herein include, but are not limited to, talc, calcium carbonate (e.g., granules or powder), microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, dextrates, kaolin, mannitol, silicic acid, sorbitol, starch, pre-gelatinized starch, and mixtures thereof. The binder or filler in : pharmaceutical compositions of the invention is typically present in from about 50 to about 99 weight percent of the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form.
Disintegrants are used in the compositions of the invention to provide tablets that disintegrate when exposed to an aqueous environment. Tablets that contain too much disintegrant may swell, crack, or disintegrate in storage, while those that contain too little may be insufficient for disintegration to occur and may thus alter the rate and extent of release of the active ingredient(s) from the dosage form. Thus, a sufficient amount of disintegrant that is neither too little nor too much to detrimentally alter the release of the active ingredient(s) should be used to form solid oral dosage forms of the invention. The amount of disintegrant used varies based upon the type of formulation and mode of : administration, and is readily discernible to those of ordinary skill in the art. Typical pharmaceutical compositions comprise from about 0.5 to about 15 weight percent of disintegrant, preferably from about 1 to about 5 weight percent of disintegrant.
Disintegrants that can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, agar-agar, alginic acid, calcium carbonate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone, polacrilin potassium,
sodium starch glycolate, potato or tapioca starch, other starches, pre-gelatinized starch, clays, other algins, other celluloses, gums, and mixtures thereof.
Lubricants that can be used to form pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, mineral oil, light mineral oil, glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, other glycols, stearic acid, sodium lauryl sulfate, talc, hydrogenated vegetable oil (e.g, peanut oil, cottonseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil, and soybean oil), zinc stearate, ethyl oleate, ethyl laureate, agar, and mixtures thereof. Additional lubricants include, for example, a syloid silica gel (AEROSIL 200, manufactured by W.R. Grace Co. of Baltimore, MD), a coagulated aerosol of synthetic silica (marketed by Degussa Co. of Plano, TX), CAB-O-SIL (a pyrogenic silicon dioxide product sold by Cabot Co. of Boston, MA), and mixtures thereof. If used at all, lubricants are typically used in an amount of less than about 1 weight percent of the pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms into which they are incorporated.
This invention further encompasses lactose-free pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms, wherein such compositions preferably contain little, if any, lactose or other mono- or di-saccharides. As used herein, the term "lactose-free" means that the amount of lactose present, if any, is insufficient to substantially increase the degradation rate of an active ingredient.
Lactose-free compositions of the invention can comprise excipients which are well known in the art and are listed in the USP (XXI)/NF (XVI), which is incorporated herein by reference. In general, lactose-free compositions comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate (e.g., topiramate sodium), a binder/filler, and a lubricant in pharmaceutically compatible and pharmaceutically acceptable amounts. Preferred lactose-free dosage forms comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate, microcrystalline cellulose, pre- gelatinized starch, and magnesium stearate.
This invention further encompasses anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms comprising active ingredients, since water can facilitate the degradation of some compounds. For example, the addition of water (e.g., 5%) is widely accepted in the ) pharmaceutical arts as a means of simulating long-term storage in order to determine characteristics such as shelf life or the stability of formulations over time. See, e.g., Jens T.
Carstensen, Drug Stability: Principles & Practice, 379-80 @™ ed., Marcel Dekker, NY, NY: 1995). Water and heat accelerate the decomposition of some compounds. Thus, the effect of water on a formulation can be of great significance since moisture and/or humidity are commonly encountered during manufacture, handling, packaging, storage, shipment, and use of formulations.
Anhydrous pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms of the invention can be prepared using anhydrous or low moisture containing ingredients and low moisture or low humidity conditions. Pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms that comprise lactose and at least one active ingredient that comprises a primary or secondary amine are preferably anhydrous if substantial contact with moisture and/or humidity during manufacturing, packaging, and/or storage is expected.
An anhydrous pharmaceutical composition should be prepared and stored such that its anhydrous nature is maintained. Accordingly, anhydrous compositions are preferably packaged using materials known to prevent exposure to water such that they can be included in suitable formulary kits. Examples of suitable packaging include, but are not limited to, hermetically sealed foils, plastics, unit dose containers (e.g., vials) with or without desiccants, blister packs, and strip packs. 4.2.2. CONTROLLED AND
DELAYED RELEASE DOSAGE FORMS
Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate can be administered by controlled- or delayed-release means. Controlled-release pharmaceutical products have a common goal of improving drug therapy over that achieved by their non-controlled release counterparts.
Ideally, the use of an optimally designed controlled-release preparation in medical treatment is characterized by a minimum of drug substance being employed to cure or control the condition in a minimum amount of time. Advantages of controlled-release formulations include: 1) extended activity of the drug; 2) reduced dosage frequency; 3) increased patient compliance; 4) usage of less total drug; 5) reduction in local or systemic side effects; 6) minimization of drug accumulation; 7) reduction in blood level fluctuations; 8) improvement in efficacy of treatment; 9) reduction of potentiation or loss of drug activity; and 10) improvement in speed of control of diseases or conditions. Kim, Cherng-ju, Controlled : Release Dosage Form Design, 2 (Technomic Publishing, Lancaster, PA: 2000).
Conventional dosage forms generally provide rapid or immediate drug release from the formulation. Depending on the pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of the drug, use of conventional dosage forms can lead to wide fluctuations in the concentrations of the drug ina patient’s blood and other tissues. These fluctuations can impact a number of parameters, such as dose frequency, onset of action, duration of efficacy, maintenance of therapeutic blood levels, toxicity, side effects, and the like. Advantageously, controlled-release formulations can be used to control a drug’s onset of action, duration of action, plasma levels within the therapeutic window, and peak blood levels. In particular, controlled- or extended- ‘ release dosage forms or formulations can be used to ensure that the maximum effectiveness of a drug is achieved while minimizing potential adverse effects and safety concerns, which can occur both from under dosing a drug (i.e., going below the minimum therapeutic levels) as well as exceeding the toxicity level for the drug.
Most controlled-release formulations are designed to initially release an amount of drug (active ingredient) that promptly produces the desired therapeutic effect, and gradually and continually release other amounts of drug to maintain this level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In order to maintain this constant level of drug in the body, the drug must be released from the dosage form at a rate that will replace the amount of drug being metabolized and excreted from the body. Controlled-release of an active ingredient can be stimulated by various conditions including, but not limited to, pH, ionic strength, osmotic pressure, temperature, enzymes, water, and other physiological conditions or compounds.
A variety of known controlled- or extended-release dosage forms, formulations, and devices can be adapted for use with the topiramate salts and compositions of the invention. :
Examples include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Patent Nos.: 3,845,770; 3,916,899; 3,536,809; 3,598,123; 4,008,719; 5674,533; 5,059,595; 5,591,767; 5,120,548; 5,073,543; 5,639,476; 5,354,556; 5,733,566; and 6,365,185 B1; each of which is incorporated herein by reference. These dosage forms can be used to provide slow or controlled-release of one or more active ingredients using, for example, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, other polymer matrices, gels, permeable membranes, osmotic systems (such as OROS® (Alza
Corporation, Mountain View, CA USA)), multilayer coatings, microparticles, liposomes, or microspheres or a combination thereof to provide the desired release profile in varying proportions. Additionally, ion exchange materials can be used to prepare immobilized, adsorbed salt forms of topiramate and thus effect controlled delivery of the drug. Examples of specific anion exchangers include, but are not limited to, Duolite® A568 and Duolite®
AP143 (Rohm&Haas, Spring House, PA USA).
One embodiment of the invention encompasses a unit dosage form which comprises a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate (e.g., a sodium, potassium, or lithium salt), or a polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form thereof, and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or diluents, wherein the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form is formulated for controlled-release. Specific dosage forms utilize an osmotic drug delivery system.
A particular and well-known osmotic drug delivery system is referred to as OROS® (Alza Corporation, Mountain View, CA USA). This technology can readily be adapted for the delivery of compounds and compositions of the invention. Various aspects of the technology are disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,375,978 Bl; 6,368,626 Bl; 6,342,249 Bl: 6,333,050 B2; 6,287,295 BI; 6,283,953 Bl; 6,270,787 Bl; 6,245,357 Bl; and 6,132,420; each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Specific adaptations of OROS® that can be used to administer compounds and compositions of the invention include, but are not limited to, the OROS® Push-Pull™, Delayed Push-Pull™, Multi-Layer Push-Pull™, and Push-
Stick™ Systems, all of which are well known. See, e.g., http://www.alza.com. Additional
OROS® systems that can be used for the controlled oral delivery of compounds and compositions of the invention include OROS®-CT and L-OROS®. Jd; see also, Delivery
Times, vol. 11, issue II (Alza Corporation).
Conventional OROS® oral dosage forms are made by compressing a drug powder (e.g, topiramate salt) into a hard tablet, coating the tablet with cellulose derivatives to form a semi-permeable membrane, and then drilling an orifice in the coating (e.g, with a laser).
Kim, Cherng-ju, Controlled Release Dosage Form Design, 231-238 (Technomic Publishing,
Lancaster, PA: 2000). ' The advantage of such dosage forms is that the delivery rate of the drug is not influenced by physiological or experimental conditions. Even a drug with a pH- dependent solubility can be delivered at a constant rate regardless of the pH of the delivery medium. But because these advantages are provided by a build-up of osmotic pressure within the dosage form after administration, conventional OROS® drug delivery systems cannot be used to effectively delivery drugs with low water solubility. Jd. at 234. Because topiramate salts and complexes of this invention (e.g., topiramate sodium) are far more soluble in water than topiramate itself, they are well suited for osmotic-based delivery to patients.
Consequently, a specific dosage form of the invention comprises: a wall defining a cavity, the wall having an exit orifice formed or formable therein and at least a portion of the wall being semipermeable; an expandable layer located within the cavity remote from the exit orifice and in fluid communication with the semipermeable portion of the wall; a dry or substantially dry state drug layer located within the cavity adjacent the exit orifice and in direct or indirect contacting relationship with the expandable layer; and a flow-promoting layer interposed between the inner surface of the wall and at least the external surface of the drug layer located within the cavity, wherein the drug layer comprises a salt of topiramate, or a polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form thereof.
See U.S. Patent No. 6,368,626, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference.

See U.S. Patent No. 6,342,249, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. 4.2.3. PARENTERAL DOSAGE FORMS
Parenteral dosage forms can be administered to patients by various routes, including, but not limited to, subcutaneous, intravenous (including bolus injection), intramuscular, and intraarterial. Since administration of parenteral dosage forms typically bypasses the patient’s natural defenses against contaminants, parenteral dosage forms are preferably sterile or capable of being sterilized prior to administration to a patient. Examples of parenteral dosage forms include, but are not limited to, solutions ready for injection, dry products ready to be dissolved or suspended in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle for injection, suspensions ready for injection, and emulsions. In addition, controlled-release parenteral dosage forms can be prepared for administration of a patient, including, but not limited to, administration
DUROS®-type dosage forms, and dose-dumping.
Suitable vehicles that can be used to provide parenteral dosage forms of the invention are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples include, without limitation: sterile water;
Water for Injection USP; saline solution; glucose solution; aqueous vehicles such as but not limited to, Sodium Chloride Injection, Ringer’s Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and
Sodium Chloride Injection, and Lactated Ringer’s Injection; water-miscible vehicles such as,
but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and propylene glycol; and non-aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate.
Compounds that alter or modify the solubility of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate disclosed herein can also be incorporated into the parenteral dosage forms of the invention, including conventional and controlled- release parenteral dosage forms. 42.4. TOPICAL, TRANSDERMAL
AND MUCOSAL DOSAGE FORMS
Topical dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, creams, lotions, ointments, gels, shampoos, sprays, aerosols, solutions, emulsions, and other forms know to one of skill in the art. See, e.g, Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18™ ed., Mack
Publishing, Easton, PA (1990); and Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, 4" ed.
Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia, PA (1985). For non-sprayable topical dosage forms, viscous to semi-solid or solid forms comprising a carrier or one or more excipients compatible with topical application and having a dynamic viscosity preferably greater than water are typically employed. Suitable formulations include, without limitation, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, creams, ointments, powders, liniments, salves, and the like, which are, if desired, sterilized or mixed with auxiliary agents (e.g., preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, buffers, or salts) for influencing various properties, such as, for example, osmotic pressure.
Other suitable topical dosage forms include sprayable aerosol preparations wherein the active ingredient, preferably in combination with a solid or liquid inert carrier, is packaged in a mixture with a pressurized volatile (e.g, a gaseous propellant, such as freon), or in a squeeze bottle. Moisturizers or humectants can also be added to pharmaceutical compositions and dosage forms if desired. Examples of such additional ingredients are well known in the art.
See, e.g., Remington’s Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18% Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, PA (1990).
Transdermal and mucosal dosage forms of the invention include, but are not limited to, ophthalmic solutions, patches, sprays, aerosols, creams, lotions, suppositories, ointments, gels, solutions, emulsions, suspensions, or other forms known to one of skill in the art. See, : e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 18" Ed., Mack Publishing, Easton, PA (1990); and Introduction to Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms, 4% Ed., Lea & Febiger, Philadelphia, PA (1985). Dosage forms suitable for treating mucosal tissues within the oral cavity can be formulated as mouthwashes, as oral gels, or as buccal patches. Additional transdermal dosage forms include “reservoir type” or “matrix type” patches, which can be applied to the skin and worn for a specific period of time to permit the penetration of a desired amount of active ingredient.
Examples of transdermal dosage forms and methods of administration that can be used to administer the active ingredient(s) of the invention include, but are not limited to, those disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos.: 4,624,665; 4,655,767; 4,687,481; 4,797,284; 4,810,499; 4,834,978; 4,877,618; 4,880,633; 4,917,895; 4,927,687; 4,956,171; 5,035,894; 5,091,186; 5,163,899; 5,232,702; 5,234,690; 5,273,755; 5,273,756; 5,308,625; 5,356,632; 5,358,715; 5,372,579; 5,421,816; 5,466;465; 5,494,680; 5,505,958; 5,554,381; 5,560,922; 5,585,111; 5,656,285; 5,667,798; 5,698,217; 5,741,511, 5,747,783; 5,770,219; 5,814,599; 5,817,332; 5,833,647; 5,879,322; and 5,906,830, each of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Suitable excipients (e.g., carriers and diluents) and other materials that can be used to- provide transdermal and mucosal dosage forms encompassed by this invention are well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical arts, and depend on the particular tissue or organ to which a given pharmaceutical composition or dosage form will be applied. With that fact in mind, typical excipients include, but are not limited to water, acetone, ethanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butane-1,3-diol, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, mineral oil, and mixtures thereof, to form dosage forms that are non-toxic and pharmaceutically acceptable.
Depending on the specific tissue to be treated, additional components may be used prior to, in conjunction with, or subsequent to treatment with pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate of the invention. For example, penetration enhancers can be used to assist in delivering the active ingredients to or across the tissue. Suitable penetration enhancers include, but are not limited to: acetone; various alcohols such as ethanol, oleyl, an tetrahydrofuryl; alkyl sulfoxides such as dimethyl sulfoxide; dimethyl acetamide; dimethyl formamide; polyethylene glycol; pyrrolidones such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; Kollidon grades (Povidone, Polyvidone); urea; and various water-soluble or insoluble sugar esters such as
TWEEN 80 (polysorbate 80) and SPAN 60 (sorbitan monostearate).
The pH of a pharmaceutical composition or dosage form, or of the tissue to which the pharmaceutical composition or dosage form is applied, may also be adjusted to improve delivery of the active ingredient(s). Similarly, the polarity of a solvent carrier, its ionic strength, or tonicity can be adjusted to improve delivery. Compounds such as stearates can also be added to pharmaceutical compositions or dosage forms to advantageously alter the hydrophilicity or lipophilicity of the active ingredient(s) so as to improve delivery. In this regard, stearates can serve as a lipid vehicle for the formulation, as an emulsifying agent or surfactant, and as a delivery-enhancing or penetration-enhancing agent. Different hydrates, dehydrates, co-crystals, solvates, polymorphs, anhydrous, or amorphous forms of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate can be used to further adjust the properties of the resulting composition. 4.2.5. KITS
Typically, active ingredients of the invention are preferably not administered to a patient at the same time or by the same route of administration. This invention therefore encompasses kits which, when used by the medical practitioner, can simplify the administration of appropriate amounts of active ingredients to a patient.
A typical kit of the invention comprises a unit dosage form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate and a unit dosage form of a second pharmacologically active compound, such as caffeine, anticonvulsants, or antiepileptics. Preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate is topiramate sodium, topiramate lithium, or topiramate potassium, or a polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form thereof. More preferably, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of topiramate is topiramate sodium, or a polymorph, solvate, hydrate, dehydrate, co-crystal, anhydrous, or amorphous form thereof. A kit may further comprise a device that can be used to administer the active ingredient. Examples of such devices include, but are not limited to, syringes, drip bags, patches, and inhalers.
Kits of the invention can further comprise pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles that can be used to administer one or more active ingredients. For example, if an active ingredient is provided in a solid form that must be reconstituted for parenteral administration, the kit can comprise a sealed container of a suitable vehicle in which the active ingredient can be dissolved to form a particulate-free sterile solution that is suitable for parenteral administration. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include, but are not limited to: Water for Injection USP; aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, Sodium
Chloride Injection, Ringer's Injection, Dextrose Injection, Dextrose and Sodium Chloride
Injection, and Lactated Ringer's Injection; water-miscible vehicles such as, but not limited to, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, and propylene glycol; and non-aqueous vehicles such as, but not limited to, corn oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, and benzyl benzoate.
The invention is further defined by reference to the following examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications, both to materials and methods, can be practiced without departing from the scope of this invention. 5. EXAMPLES
Certain embodiments of the invention, as well as certain novel and unexpected advantages of the invention, are illustrated by the following non-limiting examples. 5.1. EXAMPLE 1: SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS
OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE
5.1.1. SYNTHESIS OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE 0.50 g of topiramate (Cheminor Drugs Ltd., Hyderabad, India, Batch No. TP001J00) was suspended in 10 mL of distilled water in a scintillation vial. 1.4 mL of 1 N NaOH (VWR, West Chester, PA) was added to dissolve the drug with heating. A TEFLON-coated magnetic stirbar and hotplate-stirrer were used to bring the compound into solution, after which the warm solution was filtered through a #1 filter paper (Whatman) into a clean beaker containing a dry TEFLON-coated stirbar. The beaker was then heated with stirring to reduce the volume of the solution to the point of super saturation. The beaker was stored at room temperature, lightly capped to allow for slow evaporation. After 3 days, small block-like crystals were observed by optical microscopy at 100-fold magnification. On the fourth day, two large crystals were seen which had the approximate dimensions of 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm x 0.2 cm. The resulting product was a clear colorless birefringent crystalline substance. The crystals are square plates with angled sides. The crystals lose waters of hydration above 50°C, decomposes above ~150°C. Alternatively, storage under low humidity conditions (close to zero percent, controlled by the presence of phosphorous pentoxide) removes the water of hydration from the crystals even at room temperature.
Thermal microscopy indicates more than one polymorph, or hydration state, exists. In this analysis, a small crystallite was cleaved from a large crystal of topiramate sodium trihydrate prepared in this example. The crystal extinguished on the polarizing microscope . when the crystal edges were aligned with the polarizer and analyzer. Conoscopy showed that the crystals were biaxial. The crystallite was loaded into a glass crucible and covered with the crucible’s glass cover, and then placed into a FP900 Hotstage microscope (Mettler
Toledo). The sample was heated from 30°C to 180°C at 10°C/minute, in 5°C increments.
Between 80°C and 85°C, the birefringence annealed out of the crystal leaving an amorphous ~ gel-like mass with similar shape to the original crystal. A free flowing liquid was not observed at this time. At 110°C new crystals, rectangular birefringent blades, grew within the gel-like mass. The new crystals extinguished when the crystal edges were aligned with the polarizer and analyzer. At 120°C other crystals grew in. These crystals extinguished when the crystal edges were not aligned with the polarizer and analyzer. At 160°C the birefringence anneals out of the crystals formed at 110°C, then between 170°C and 175°C all of the crystals melted. No crystals formed upon cooling the resulting melted material to room temperature. The combined observations demonstrate the presence of two polymorphs in addition to the as-made sodium salt trihydrate.
A sample of the compound prepared above was then examined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as set forth below. 5.1.2. ANALYSIS BY PXRD, DSC, AND TGA

5.2. EXAMPLE 2: A SECOND SYNTHESIS AND
ANALYSIS OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE
5.2.1. SYNTHESIS OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE 10.09 g (29.73 mmoles) of topiramate (Cheminor Drugs Ltd., Hyderabad, India, : Batch TP0O1 JOO) was placed in a 250 mL beaker and 100.0 mL of HPLC grade water (JT
Baker, Phillipsburg, NJ USA, Lot V32E17) was added. 1.36 g (34.0 mmoles) of sodium hydroxide (Sigma, St. Louis, MO USA, Lot 99H0120) was added and the mixture was stirred with a TEFLON® coated magnetic stir bar using a hot plate/stir plate. The mixture was heated to 60°C to dissolve. The solution was filtered and evaporated at 60°C while blowing air over the surface using a TYGON tube attached to an air source to reduce the volume to 15 mL, and the flask was placed in a cold room (4° C) overnight. Crystals grew overnight. The mixture was filtered and dried to yield 305 mg topiramate sodium as large, block-like crystals. Elemental analysis: calc.

The pH of a 400 mg/mL solution of the compound in distilled water was about 11.2, which was determined using a Thermo Orion pH meter, Model 525A+ (Orion Research, Inc., Beverly,
MA USA). 5.2.2. ANALYSIS BY PXRD AND RAMAN
Raman spectroscopy of a sample from this example was performed using a Nicolet
Almega Dispersive Raman Spectrometer/Microscope, controlled by Omnic software v. 5.2a.
Spectra ranges were 3250 to 105 cm”, using 10 um pinhole aperture, and ten consecutive 2- second exposures. The resulting spectra were displayed using Omnic software v. 5.2a.
The resulting Raman spectrum is shown in FIG. 4, which shows the characteristic shifts for -SO,-NR, were observed at 1380, 1162 and 529 cm’. . A powder X-ray diffraction pattern for the salt sample prepared in this example was performed using a the same methods and equipment described in this example. The PXRD ) pattern for the resulting compound (topiramate sodium trihydrate) is shown in FIG. 5.
These data indicate that topiramate sodium trihydrate, distinct from topiramate, was prepared.
5.2.3. ESTIMATION OF SOLUBILITY
The solubility of the topiramate sodium trihydrate prepared in this example in water, ethanol, methanol, and THF was estimated by determining the minimum amount of solvent necessary to dissolve a known amount of the compound. In general, a predetermined amount of the compound was placed in a small glass vial, and then solvent was added drop-wise at room temperature until no visible solid remained in the vial. The specific details of each experiment are set forth in Table 2 below:
TABLE 2: SOLUBILITY ESTIMATION
Solvent Weight of topiramate Amount | Solubility Average sodium trihydrate of Solvent | (amount of solid in Solubility mL of solvent)
Water:
Trial 1 28.7 mg 20 pL 1.435 g/mL 1.33 g/mL
Trial 2 24.7 mg 1.235 g/mL
Ethanol: | 50pL [376 mg/mL lL
THF 10.6 mg 240 pL 44.2 mg/mL (slight overestimate)
Methanol:
Trial 1 44.7 mg 35 ul 1.28 g/mL
Trial 2 48.1 mg 30 ul 1.60 g/mL 1.47 g/mL
Trial 3 38.3 mg 25 pL 1.53 g/mL
These data indicate that the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of topiramate, such as topiramate sodium, of the invention offer increased solubility, which allows the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the invention to be formulated in various desirable routes, such as a low volume injectable, rapid oral dissolve or a controlled- or extended release dosage form.
FIG. 6 provides results of a comparison between the aqueous solubility of topirimate sodium trihydrate with that of topiramate. The sodium salt was found to be over 100 times more soluble at 1.3 g/mL vs. the literature value of 9.8 mg/mL. Independently, a set of dissolution curves were obtained in 0.01 N HCI (representative of a modestly acidic stomach), and these are shown in FIG. 7. Three preparations were tested: (1) topiramate crystal form (Reddy Cheminor), (2) topiramate sodium salt trihydrate and (3) topiramate : sodium salt trihydrate dry mixed with 1.1 equivalents of tartaric acid. Dissolution was found to be rapid with all forms, and was essentially complete in 5 minutes. Relative to (1) and (3), sample (2) showed increased solubility at the equilibrium condition, with an associated pH of 9.5. The nominal concentration of drug in each case was about 110 mM (37 mg/mL free acid concentration) and hence (1) and (3) remained as suspensions while (2) was not saturated at the end of the experiment. 5.3. EXAMPLE 3: A THIRD SYNTHESIS AND
ANALYSIS OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE
5.3.1 SYNTHESIS OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE 0.97 g (2.9 mmols) of topiramate (Cheminor Ltd.), 10 mL distilled water, and 2.8 mL
IN NaOH (2.8 mmol) were added to a glass beaker, warmed on a hotplate to 60°C and stirred with a TEFLON-coated stir bar on a magnetic stirplate. The solid topiramate dissolved in about 25 minutes.
The solution was filtered through a #4 filter paper and transferred into a clean vial with a TEFLON-coated stir bar. The solution was concentrated by evaporation until solid formed. The mixture was dried further by blowing air over the vial. The dried solid was dissolved in 5 mL of 2% water (v/v) in ethanol. The solution was concentrated and cooled in a refrigerator at 4 °C overnight. Fine white crystals formed and were filtered, dried, and weighed (0.85 g, 88%). ) 5.3.2. ANALYSIS BY TGA AND PXRD
A sample of the compound prepared above was then examined by TGA and
PXRD using the same procedures and equipment described in Example 1.
TGA of a sample from this example was observed by weighing 3.0630 mg of sample in a platinum pan and placing it in the analyzer. The starting temperature was 20°C with a heating rate of 10°C/minute, and the ending temperature was 190°C. The resulting TGA analysis is shown in FIG. 8. Mass losses of 13% and 39% at 41°C and 174°C, respectively, were observed by TGA.
A sample of the compound prepared in this example was examined by PXRD using a collection time of 10 minutes. The PXRD pattern for the resulting compound (topiramate sodium trihydrate) is shown in FIG. 9. A PXRD pattern for topiramate sodium trihydrate includes the identifying features listed below in Table 3:
TABLE 3
Topiramate Sodium Trihydrate 2-theta Intensity 4.51 £0.05 Medium 13.65+ 0.05 Strong 19.15% 0.05 Medium
These data show that topiramate sodium trihydrate, distinct from topiramate, was prepared. 5.3.3. PHYSICAL STABILITY
The physical stability of the topiramate sodium trihydrate prepared in this example was initially evaluated by TGA, which demonstrated that the hydrate stays intact up to and including 40°C. A further study on physical stability of a sample from this example was conducted in glass vials at preset temperatures and controlled relative humidities. The humidities stored at room temperature were controlled using saturated salt solutions (see H.
Nyquist, Pharm. Tech. 4(2):47-48 (1983)). At other temperatures, the oven configurations allowed humidity control. After 2 weeks, samples at various conditions were tested by TGA and PXRD to assess whether the crystalline topiramate sodium trihydrate remained intact or not. The data in Table 4 summarize findings after 2 weeks of incubation.

These data further support the physical stability of the topiramate sodium trihydrate over a range of temperatures up to and including 40 °C, as well as relative humidities from about 5% up to and including 75%. No chemical degradation is observed by HPLC analysis in samples stored for 2 weeks at 25 °C/<5 % relative humidity (RH), 25 °C/31 %RH, 25 °C/75 %RH, 40 °C/ambient RH, or 40 °C/75 %RH. No chemical degradation is observed by HPLC analysis in samples stored for >12 weeks at 25 °C/<5 %RH, 25 °C/31 %RH, 25 °C/75 %RH, or 40 °C/75 %RH. Degradates were observed by HPLC when material was stored at or above 60 °C for at least 2 weeks. 5.4. EXAMPLE 4: IN VIVO CHARACTERISTICS
OF TOPIRAMATE SODIUM TRIHYDRATE
The bioavailability of topiramate provided by (1) TOPAMAX® was compared to that of topiramate provided by (2) topiramate sodium trihydrate and a (3) combination of topiramate sodium trihydrate dry mixed with 1.1 equivalents of tartaric acid using male
Sprague-Dawley rats dosed with oral gavage of size 9 gelatin capsules (Torpac, Fairfield,
NJ). The capsules contained an amount of solid powder sufficient to provide a dose equivalent to 30 mg/kg (mpk) of free topiramate (corrected for any counterion, hydrate and tartaric acid constituent). Plasma samples were analyzed by LC/MS/MS using a method based on a human plasma assay of topiramate. Tests were conducted by MDS Pharma
Services (Montreal, Canada).
The in vivo data yielded by these tests are shown in FIG. 10. The crystalline salt in (2) has a very fast onset time, with the peak of plasma concentration being observed at the first time point of 0.5 h. A statistical difference (p=0.01) was found between the time to peak plasma levels (tmax) of (2) vs. (1) and (3). The data for (2) are comparable to an oral solution of TOPAMAX®. The neutralized formulation (3) behaves similarly to (1), and no statistical difference was seen between their ty, values (p=0.38).
The comparison between (1) and (3) illustrates the possibility of modulating the rate of absorption of the sodium salt by changing formulation in the solid oral dosage form. On the other hand, the fast absorption of the sodium salt in the absence of acidifying agent suggests its usefulness in immediate release formulations for the treatment of pain, emerging : convulsion episodes, or other conditions. The sodium salt may further be used in controlled release dosage forms that require higher solubility and greater intrinsic osmolality than is ) provided by topiramate itself.

TOPIRAMATE AND CAFFEINE CO-CRYSTAL
Hot stage microscopy experiments were carried out to generate a co-crystal of topiramate and caffeine. Caffeine (anhydrous, 99.0+%, Fluka, Lot 384769) was melted (mp. = 234-236°C) and recrystallized between a glass slide and a cover slip on a Mettler-Toledo
FP950t stage mounted on a Zeiss Axioplan II polarized light microscope. The hotstage was allowed to cool to 30°C. Topiramate (Cheminor Ltd., Batch TP001J00) was then placed on . the glass slide in contact with the edge of the cover slip, and was melted (mp. = 124-125°C) and the melt came into contact with the recrystallized caffeine by capillary action. The melted topiramate recrystallized overnight while held at 70°C.
The interfacial region between the pure topiramate and caffeine region was crystalline and had a different morphology than either of the pure phases. The sample was heated slowly and the interfacial region melted between 105°C and 106.5°C. ‘ The absence of multiple melt regions (eutectics) indicated that only one pure topiramate-caffeine co-crystalline phase exists.
