Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to an enrica extract sublingual preparation and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Emricasan is a pancysteine-aspartate proteolytic enzyme (Caspae) inhibitor originally developed by Idun Pharmaceuticals. In April 2005, Pfizer acquired Idun Pharmaceuticals and obtained the compound; in August 2010, Conatus Pharmaceuticals acquired Pfizer's subsidiary Idun Pharmaceuticals, obtaining the rights to continue developing the compound; in December 2016, Novartis and Conatus Pharmaceuticals signed an exclusive licensing, collaboration, and licensing agreement for the drug, under which Conatus will jointly develop and commercialize the drug globally.

[0003] Enricasan, an inhibitor of pancysteine ​​aspartate protease (Caspae), primarily inhibits the activity of Caspase-8 and Caspase-3. Since pancysteine ​​aspartate protease mediates apoptosis and inflammatory pathways, emricasan has significant clinical application potential. Specifically, emricasan has entered Phase I / II clinical trials for the treatment of liver fibrosis (possibly caused by hepatitis B and C virus infection, obesity, and other fibrotic diseases), type 1 diabetes, COVID-19 infection, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and portal hypertension. Clinical studies for its use in treating alcoholic hepatitis and liver failure have been suspended, and clinical studies for its use in treating septic shock have been terminated. Furthermore, some domestic research institutions have found that emricasan also has good application potential in the treatment of ischemia-reperfusion-related diseases, such as cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and renal ischemia-reperfusion injury.

[0004] Enrickardian has the potential to treat a variety of clinical diseases, but some studies have reported that its oral bioavailability is extremely low (only 2.7%–4%) and it exhibits a significant first-pass effect in the liver (Niel C. Hoglen, et al., 2004). Currently, the dosage forms of enrickardian that have entered clinical trials are primarily oral tablets. Given such low bioavailability, clinical efficacy may be affected, while increasing the dosage may raise safety concerns, and it is also not economical from a drug utilization perspective.

[0005] When enricane is taken orally, the active ingredient undergoes first-pass metabolism and enzymatic degradation in the liver, leading to rapid metabolism under the action of liver enzymes and reduced efficacy. Liver enzymes convert the molecule into inactive metabolites or weaken its activity through biotransformation. Intravenous administration of enricane, compared to oral administration, presents challenges such as poor patient compliance, increased susceptibility to infection and irritation, and requires administration by qualified medical personnel.

[0006] Sublingual preparations are absorbed directly through the sublingual mucosa. The sublingual mucosa has a large surface area and strong permeability, and numerous capillaries converge thereto into the internal jugular vein, from which the drug directly enters the bloodstream via the superior vena cava. This results in rapid drug absorption and onset of action, and the drug can be taken without water, making it convenient and significantly improving bioavailability and efficacy. Therefore, preparing enlicica into sublingual preparations has excellent application value. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a sublingual formulation of enricane that can be rapidly dissolved and absorbed under the tongue.

[0008] The following technical solutions are used to achieve the above objectives.

[0022] In some embodiments, the disintegrant is one or a combination of sodium carboxymethyl starch, crospovidone, crospovidone carboxymethyl cellulose, and low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose; preferably, the disintegrant is one or a combination of sodium carboxymethyl starch and crospovidone.

[0023] In some embodiments, the flavoring agent is one or a combination of cyclamate, menthol, glycyrrhizin, steviol glycoside, fumaric acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, succinic acid, and their alkali metal salts; preferably, the flavoring agent is one or a combination of cyclamate, citric acid, and lactic acid.

[0024] In some embodiments, the flow aid is one or a combination of magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, stearic acid, hydrogenated vegetable oil, and sodium dodecyl sulfate, preferably magnesium stearate.

[0025] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a sublingual formulation based on enricane as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0026] S1. Dissolve enrikacin, sodium taurocholate, and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate in water to obtain an aqueous solution;

[0027] S2. Add filler and disintegrant to the aqueous solution to prepare soft material, sieve to make granules, and dry to obtain whole granules;

[0028] S3. Add flavoring agent and flow aid to the granules, mix well, and compress into tablets to obtain the Enrica sublingual preparation.

[0029] In this invention, the inventors discovered that a sublingual enlicin preparation made by using enlicaxin as the main drug, combined with a solubilizer, a penetration enhancer, and excipients, can be directly absorbed by the sublingual mucosa. This results in rapid drug absorption and onset of action after administration, requires no water, is convenient to use, improves patient compliance, and effectively avoids the first-pass effect of oral enlicaxin. The types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers have a significant impact on the solubility and absorption of this sublingual enlicin preparation. When combined with the solubilizer sodium taurocholate and the penetration enhancer sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate, the solubility of enlicaxin is significantly increased, and the mucosal absorption effect of enlicaxin is significantly improved, greatly enhancing bioavailability and efficacy, thus possessing significant clinical value and social benefits.

[0058] Animal experiments: Bioavailability study of Enrica sublingual formulation

[0059] Drug used: Enricacin (batch number: 20626) was purchased from Shanghai Haoyuan Biomedical Technology Co., Ltd.

[0060] Enricasan was prepared into intravenous and oral administration solutions using 100mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) as the solvent. For sublingual administration of enricasan, samples from Examples 1-4 were used, and absolute bioavailability was calculated with the mean area under the curve of the intravenous injection group as 100%.

[0061] Laboratory animals and their grouping:

[0062] Twenty-seven male SD rats, weighing 250-300g, were housed in a barrier system. The environmental conditions in the animal room were controlled at a room temperature of 20℃-26℃ and a humidity of 40%-70%. The keepers recorded the data twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. The air in the room was exchanged 10 to 20 times per hour. The lighting in the animal room was alternated between light and dark for 12 / 12 hours (except for necessary interruptions during the experimental activities). Any interruptions were recorded.

[0063] After fasting overnight, the animals were randomly divided into 9 groups of 3 animals each according to their body weight. These groups were: Enricacin intravenous injection group, Enricacin oral gavage group, Enricacin Example 1 sublingual formulation group, Enricacin Example 2 sublingual formulation group, Enricacin Example 3 complete sublingual formulation group, Enricacin Example 3 incomplete sublingual formulation group A (prescription without sodium taurocholate), Enricacin Example 3 incomplete sublingual formulation group B (prescription without sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamide)octanoate), Enricacin Example 3 incomplete sublingual formulation group C (prescription without sodium taurocholate and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamide)octanoate), and Enricacin Example 4 sublingual formulation group.

[0091] Experimental results:

[0092] Absolute bioavailability was calculated using the mean area under the curve for the intravenous injection group as 100%. The bioavailability of enricacin in the oral gavage group was approximately 1%, which is close to the 2.7%–4% reported in the literature (Niel C. Hoglen, et al., 2004). This confirms that enricacin has low oral bioavailability and a severe first-pass effect in the liver.

[0093] Enricacin sublingual formulation (Example 3 complete prescription group) is rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentration within 5 minutes, with a bioavailability of 54.4%, which is more than 50 times higher than that of oral gavage. Literature reports (Niel C. Hoglen, et al., 2004) that the bioavailability of enricacin via intraperitoneal injection is 49%, indicating that the bioavailability of the sublingual formulation is comparable to that of intraperitoneal injection.

[0094] Compared to the sublingual formulation of Enrica (Example 3 Complete Prescription Group):

[0095] The Cmax value of the incomplete formulation A (containing only the absence of the solubilizing sodium taurocholate) of Enricacin in Example 3 was reduced, and the bioavailability was 33.1%, which is about half that of the complete formulation. This indicates that the solubilizing sodium taurocholate plays an important role in improving the absorption of the Enricacin sublingual formulation.

[0096] In Example 3, the Cmax value of the incomplete formulation group B of the sublingual enricacin preparation (which only did not contain the penetration enhancer sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate) was significantly reduced, and the bioavailability was 18.0%, which was about one-third of that of the complete formulation group. This indicates that the penetration enhancer sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate plays an important role in improving the absorption of the sublingual enricacin preparation, and its effect is greater than that of the solubilizer sodium taurocholate.

[0097] The pharmacokinetic characteristics of the incomplete formulation group C of the sublingual enricacin preparation of Example 3 (which only did not contain the solubilizer sodium taurocholate and the penetration enhancer sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate) were similar to those of the oral gavage preparation. However, the Cmax was low, and the bioavailability was 1.44%, which was comparable to that of the oral gavage preparation. This was nearly 40 times less than the bioavailability of the sublingual enricacin preparation (the complete formulation group of Example 3), indicating that the solubilizer sodium taurocholate and the penetration enhancer sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate play a key role in improving the absorption of the sublingual enricacin preparation.

[0098] The sublingual formulations of enricavirin in Examples 1 and 2 were rapidly absorbed, reaching peak plasma concentration within 5 minutes, with bioavailability exceeding 50%, specifically 50.8% and 51.7%, respectively. This represents an approximately 50-fold increase in bioavailability compared to oral gavage. Literature reports (Niel C. Hoglen, et al., 2004) that the bioavailability of enricavirin administered intraperitoneally is 49%, while the bioavailability of the sublingual formulations in Examples 1 and 2 is comparable to that of intraperitoneal injection.

[0099] In the sublingual formulation of enricasan in Example 4, the amounts of enricasan, sodium taurocholate, and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate were lower, resulting in a significantly reduced Cmax value and a bioavailability of 14.2%, approximately one-third of the formulations in Examples 1 and 2. This indicates that the formulation ratio of enricasan, sodium taurocholate, and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate also has a significant impact on bioavailability.

[0100] The bioavailability of the endocardine sublingual formulation in Example 3 (complete prescription group) reached 54.4%, comparable to the reported intraperitoneal injection bioavailability and significantly higher than that of the incomplete prescription groups A (excluding sodium taurocholate, the solubilizer), B (excluding sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate, and C. Furthermore, the bioavailability and Cmax value of Example 3 were slightly higher than those of Examples 1-2, indicating the best efficacy. Therefore, sodium taurocholate and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate play a crucial role in improving the absorption of endocardine sublingual formulations. When used in combination, they significantly increase the solubility of endocardine and improve its mucosal absorption.

[0101] Example 6

[0102] Comparative study on the bioavailability of different types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers in pharmaceutical formulations:

[0103] In Example 3, the types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers in the formulation were replaced, while other components remained unchanged. Bioavailability studies were conducted according to the method in Example 5. The bioavailability results of sublingual formulations containing different types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers are shown in Table 9 below:

[0104] Table 9. Bioavailability results of sublingual formulations containing different types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers.

[0105] 1 Sodium taurocholate, sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate 54.4% 2 Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, Sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate 42.1% 3 Polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, Caprylic / Capric Acid / Capric Acid Polyethylene Glyceryl Ester 32.8% 4 Sodium taurocholate, ethanol 23.5% 5 Soybean oil, sodium lauryl sulfate 21.8% 6 Cyclodextrin, peppermint oil 23.1%

[0106] As shown in Table 9, different types of solubilizers and penetration enhancers have different bioavailability for sublingual enlical formulations. Among them, the highest bioavailability (54.4%) was achieved when sodium taurocholate, a solubilizer, and sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate, a penetration enhancer, were used together.

[0107] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
