Problems solved by technology

Although clinical improvement persisted for more than 2 weeks after the final scopolamine infusion, disadvantages of intravenous infusions included a higher incidence of dose-dependent adverse side effects (hallucinations, dizziness, xerostomia, and High cost, which limits the use of scopolamine infusions
[0006] There remains an unmet need for optimization of the balance between maintenance of plasma concentrations of therapeutic agents used in the treatment of depression or anxiety and the safety / tolerability of these therapeutic agents

example 1

[0051] Example 1, the preparation of ketamine liposome formulation

[0052] Empty liposomes were prepared by the lipid film hydration-extrusion method. HSPC, cholesterol and DSPE-PEG2000 (59.5 / 39.6 / 0.9 mole percent) were dissolved in chloroform, and the organic solvent was removed under vacuum by a rotary evaporator to form a thin lipid film. The dried lipid film was hydrated with 75 mM triethylammonium sucrose octasulfate (pH 6.0) at 60° C. for 30 minutes to form liposomes with aqueous core entrapped with triethylammonium sucrose octasulfate. After six freeze-thaw cycles between liquid nitrogen and 60°C water, the liposomes were then squeezed 10 times through a polycarbonate filter with a pore size of 0.2 μm. Unentrapped triethylammonium sucrose octasulfate was removed by dialysis against a 9.4% sucrose solution.

[0056] Example 2, the impact of different capture agents on the loading of ketamine

[0057] Liposome formulations were prepared according to Example 1 with the following capture agents: (1) 75 mM sucrose octasulfate triethylammonium, (2) 250 mM ammonium sulfate, and (3) 300 mM ammonium sulfate. Particle size distribution was measured by a dynamic light scattering instrument (ZetasizerNano-ZS90, Malvern). Table 1 shows the effect of different capture agents on ketamine loading.

[0061] The pharmacokinetic (PK) study of example 3, ketamine liposome formulation

[0062] In vivo PK assessment of ketamine liposomal formulations was performed using 7-8 week old female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were housed in a holding room with a 12-hour light / 12-hour dark cycle operation and no restriction on water and food intake.

[0063] The rats were divided into two groups (n=3 in each group), and one group received subcutaneous injection of 5 mg / kg free ketamine hydrochloride dissolved in 9.4% sucrose solution as ketamine salt salt to a final concentration of 1.0 mg / mL. Another group received a subcutaneous injection of 25 mg / kg liposomal ketamine formulation prepared according to Example 1. Blood samples were collected 15 minutes, 0.5 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours and 48 hours after injection. Plasma samples were obtained by centrifugation, kept frozen at -80°C and analyzed using the noncompartmental analysis model in PKSolver (Comp...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one liposome and a therapeutic agent for treating depression or anxiety, with a therapeutic agent to lipid ratio equalto or higher than about 0.15. The pharmaceutical composition improves the pharmacokinetic profile and sustains the release of the therapeutic agent. Also provided is the method for treating depression or anxiety using the pharmaceutical composition disclosed herein.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 713,895, filed August 2, 2018, and U.S. Patent Application No. 62 / 775,124, filed December 4, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention is directed to a sustained-release liposome composition with a high therapeutic agent to lipid ratio comprising a therapeutic agent for treating depression or anxiety and using at least one capture agent. The high therapeutic agent lipid ratio of the liposome composition and the sustained release profile of the pharmaceutical composition reduce the frequency of administration, increase patient compliance and improve therapeutic outcome. Background technique [0003] Liposomes are a successful technology as a drug delivery system and have been widely used in the development of sustained-release formulations of various drugs. Drug loading into liposomes can be done remotely / actively (creation...
