Embodiment approach

[0238]A particularly preferred embodiment of the preparation method comprises the following steps:

[0239] A) Dissolving the osmotic agent in the aqueous medium and stirring;

[0240] B) adding a surfactant, preferably egg lecithin, and stirring;

[0241] C) Optionally, adding a co-surfactant and a pH adjuster and mixing;

[0242] D) dissolving progesterone in oil to form an oil phase;

[0243] E) filtering the oil phase, then adding the filtered oil phase to the water phase and mixing;

[0244] F) homogenization to form a homogeneous emulsion;

[0245] G) Optionally, adding water;

[0246] H) Optionally, add enough 1N NaOH to adjust the pH to pH 8.0-8.8;

[0247] I) Optionally, add enough aqueous medium to bring up to final volume.

[0248] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the homogenization is carried out at greater than or equal to 350 bar, preferably greater than or equal to 370 bar.

[0249] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the process for preparing ...

Embodiment 1

[0277] Example 1 - Preferred Embodiment

[0278] The formulation of Example 1 is a 6% oil emulsion composition comprising 0.2% progesterone and 1.2% egg lecithin. The phospholipids are present in an amount of 17% w / w of the oil and the ratio of progesterone to oil is 1:30 (w / w)

[0279] Table I

[0280]

[0281] The emulsions of Table I were prepared as follows. Components, mixtures and finished emulsions were maintained under nitrogen at a temperature of 55-60°C unless otherwise noted.

[0282] 180 L of water for injection (w.f.i.) was added to the first vessel, warmed to 58°C while mixing at 50 Hz, and degassed with nitrogen until a residual oxygen concentration of ≤0.1 mg / L was obtained. 9.98 kg glycerol (anhydrous glycerol, Axelis, Austria) was added to the water and mixed at 50 Hz for 5 minutes. 23.97 kg soybean oil (Fresenius Kabi, Sweden) was added to a second vessel, stirred at 50 Hz, and warmed to 58°C. Under constant stirring, 0.81 kg of progesterone (mic...

Embodiment 4

[0311] Example 4 - Effect of Phospholipids

[0312] The following examples demonstrate the effect of varying the phospholipid content of the emulsion composition on the properties of the emulsion. The 6% oil emulsions of Table IV were prepared by the procedure described below. The emulsion contained 0.2% progesterone and 1.8%, 1.5%, 0.9% or 0.6% lecithin.

[0313] Table IV

[0314]

[0315] The emulsions of Examples 4A-D were prepared by the following method. 600 g soybean oil (Fresenius Kabi, Sweden) was added to the vessel and warmed to 58°C. The oil was kept under a nitrogen atmosphere while 20 g of progesterone (micronized progesterone, Proquina, Mexico) was added to the soybean oil and dissolved by mixing with a magnetic stirrer. Put water for injection into a second container and heat to 58°C. 250 g of glycerol (anhydrous glycerol, Axelis, Austria) was added to the aqueous phase and dissolved by high shear mixing. The indicated amounts of egg lecithin (PL90,...

Abstract

The invention relates to a sterile, ready-to-use, pharmaceutical oil-in water emulsion composition for parenteral administration comprising: 0.015 to 1.2% wt. / vol. of progestogen; 0.5-30% wt. / vol. oil, wherein the oil comprises at least 85% wt. / wt. triglyceride; 0.0425- 12.5% wt. / vol phospholipid; 61.4-99.4%) wt. / vol. aqueous medium; wherein the phospholipid is present in an amount of 6.8% - 43% of the oil (wt. / wt.), and wherein the progestogen is present in an amount greater than or equal to 2.1wt% of the oil, preferably greater than or equal to 2.2 wt% of the oil. The invention further relates to the use of the aforementioned composition in therapeutic or prophylactic treatment, said treatment comprising intravenous administration of the pharmaceutical composition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising a progestogen and to the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of mammals, said treatment comprising parenteral administration of such pharmaceutical compositions. The compositions according to the invention are particularly suitable for the treatment of traumatic injuries of the central nervous system. Background technique [0002] Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a non-degenerative, non-congenital injury to the brain from an external mechanical force that may result in permanent or temporary impairment of cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functions, with reduced or Altered states of consciousness (Brown, A.W, et al., 2008, Arch. Phys. Med. Rehabil., 89(Suppl. 1), S3-8). TBI is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. It is estimated that more than 1.5 million Americans develop TBI each year, and that the incidence of TBI in other industrialized countries is comparabl...
