Embodiment 1

[0068] Preparation and characterization of embodiment 1 carbadopa-arginine salt

[0069] Carbidopa (CD)-arginine salt was prepared as follows:

[0070] Weigh carbidopa [Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Israel] and L-arginine [Merck] (in a 1:1 molar ratio) into a suitable container and add 0.2% aqueous sodium bisulfite [Sigma] A final concentration of 4.0% carbidopa was obtained. The mixture was heated to 65±10°C with constant stirring. When the solids were completely dissolved, the solution was filtered using a 0.45 μM nylon membrane. The filtered solution was immediately frozen on dry ice and then freeze-dried. Off-white crystals were obtained which were then subjected to MS analysis. MS analysis results clearly showed carbidopa and L-arginine ions and fragments (Fig. 1a). Peak 249 represents carbidopa+Na(226+23) with fragments: 227, 188 and 144 (Figure 1b); peak 176 represents arginine+2H(174+2) with fragments 157, 130 and 116 ( Figure 1c).

Embodiment 2

[0071] Example 2 Preparation of carbidopa solution / formulation for subcutaneous administration

[0072] A 4% carbidopa solution / formulation was prepared as follows:

[0073] Carbidopa [Assia Ltd., Israel] claims to reconstitute in a suitable container and then add water to give 73% of the total estimated batch weight. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 20 minutes. L-Arginine [Sigma] was added to the mixture to give a 1:1 molar ratio to carbidopa. The mixture was heated to 65±10°C with constant stirring. When the solid was completely dissolved, N-methyl 2-pyrrolidone [Pharmasolve, ISP] was added to give a final concentration of 10% (w / w). Sodium bisulfite [Sigma] solution was prepared and added to give a final concentration of 1% (v / w). Stirring was continued for another 30 minutes at 65±3°C. Afterwards, a PVP [polyvinylpyrrolidone, Sigma] solution was prepared and added to obtain a final concentration of 1% (v / w). Stirring was continued for 30 minutes at 65±...

Embodiment 3

[0075] Example 3 - Preparation of carbidopa solutions / formulations for subcutaneous administration

[0076] A 6% carbidopa solution / formulation was prepared as follows:

[0077] Carbidopa [Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd, Israel] and L-arginine [Merck] (molar ratio 1:1.1) were weighed in a suitable container and water was then added to give a total estimated batch weight of 84%. N-methyl 2-pyrrolidone [Pharmasolve, ISP] was added to give a final concentration of 5% (w / w). Sodium bisulfite [Sigma] solution was prepared and added to give a final concentration of 0.1% (v / w). The mixture was heated to 65±10°C with constant stirring. Heating was stopped when the solid had completely dissolved and the preparation was allowed to cool to room temperature. The solution was filtered using a sterile 0.22 μM PVDF membrane.

Abstract

Disclosed herein are arginine salts of carbidopa and levodopa and compositions that include for example the arginine salt of carbidopa suitable for continuous administration for treating neurological or movement diseases or disorders such as restless leg syndrome, Parkinson's disease, secondary parkinsonism, Huntington's disease, Parkinson's-like syndrome, PSP, MSA, ALS, Shy-Drager syndrome and conditions resulting from brain injury including carbon monoxide or manganese intoxication, together with administration of levodopa.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Serial Application No. 61 / 179,511, filed May 19, 2009, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to compounds and formulations useful in methods of treating diseases and conditions in which dopamine levels in the brain are reduced, such as Parkinson's disease. In particular, the present invention relates to arginine salts of carbidopa and levodopa and compositions comprising them. Background technique [0004] Parkinson's disease is a degenerative disorder characterized by decreased concentrations of neurotransmitters in the brain. Levodopa (L-dopa or L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine), the immediate metabolic precursor of dopamine, unlike dopamine, is capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier and is most commonly used to restore Dopamine concentration in the brain. For the past 40 years, levodopa has remained the most effective t...
