Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical chemical industry, and specifically relates to refenacin triphenylacetate and an inhalation powder aerosol thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic disease characterized by chronic bronchitis and / or emphysema with airflow obstruction, which can further develop into cor pulmonale and respiratory failure. With the aggravation of environmental pollution and the aging of the population, the number of COPD patients has increased year by year, and respiratory diseases have become the third leading cause of death after cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and malignant tumors. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 300 million COPD patients worldwide, and about 5 million people die each year. The incidence of respiratory diseases in my country is about 6.9%.

[0003] The pathogenesis of COPD is complex and is generally believed to be related to the following mechanisms: 1. Inflammatory mechanism: Chronic inflammation of the airways, lung parenchyma and pulmonary blood vessels is a characteristic change of COPD. Inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, macrophages and T lymphocytes are involved in the pathogenesis of COPD; 2. Protease-antiprotease imbalance mechanism: Proteolytic enzymes have damaging and destructive effects on tissues; antiproteases have inhibitory functions on various proteases such as elastase, among which α1 antitrypsin (α1-AT) is the most active one. Increased proteases or insufficient antiproteases can lead to tissue structure destruction and emphysema; 3. Oxidative stress mechanism: Oxidants such as superoxide anions, hydroxyl radicals, hypochlorous acid, H2O2 and nitric oxide can directly act on and destroy many biochemical macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, etc., leading to cell dysfunction or cell death, and can also destroy the extracellular matrix, causing protease-antiprotease imbalance and promoting inflammatory response. 4. Other mechanisms: including autonomic dysfunction, malnutrition and temperature changes.

[0004] The above mechanisms work together to eventually produce two important lesions: 1. Small airway lesions, including small airway inflammation, small airway fibrosis, and small airway lumen mucus plugs, which significantly increase small airway resistance; 2. Emphysematous lesions reduce the normal pulling force of the alveoli on the small airways, making the small airways more likely to collapse. At the same time, emphysema significantly reduces the elastic recoil of the alveoli. This small airway lesion works together with emphysematous lesions to cause the persistent airflow limitation characteristic of COPD.

[0005] Inhaled preparations are the preferred dosage form for the treatment of COPD respiratory diseases. Common inhaled drugs can be divided into two categories according to their pharmacological effects: (1) Bronchodilators: Bronchodilators are the basic first-line treatment for COPD. They relax airway smooth muscles to dilate the bronchi, improve airflow limitation, and thus alleviate the symptoms of COPD. The main bronchodilators are β2 receptor agonists, anticholinergic drugs, and methylxanthines, which can be selected based on the drug effects and the patient's treatment response. (2) Inhaled corticosteroids: Long-term single ICS treatment in the stable stage of COPD cannot prevent the downward trend of FEV1, and there is no significant improvement in mortality. Therefore, it is not recommended to use single ICS treatment for patients with stable COPD.

[0006] Revefenacin is a long-acting anticholinergic drug that inhibits the release of acetylcholine from parasympathetic nerve terminals and causes tracheal contraction by binding to the M3 muscarinic receptors on bronchial smooth muscle. It is mainly used in the maintenance treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, including the maintenance treatment of chronic bronchitis and emphysema with dyspnea and the prevention of acute attacks. The current marketed revefenacin preparation is the revefenacin solution for inhalation, which was jointly developed by Theravance Biopharmaceuticals of Ireland and Mylan Pharmaceuticals of the United States and was approved for marketing by the U.S. FDA in November 2018 under the trade name Yupelri.

[0007] The deposition rate of inhaled solution in the lungs after atomization is very low, only 10% to 20%. Most patients can only receive atomization treatment in the hospital. The equipment is large and inconvenient to carry, which greatly reduces the convenience of drug administration and affects the treatment effect. The lung deposition rate of inhaled powder aerosol is significantly higher than that of inhaled solution, reaching more than 50%, and it is easy to carry and can well meet the needs of clinical drug administration.

[0008] The original research company has two crystal form patents authorized in China, namely CN101163677B and CN102470130B. CN101163677B discloses salt forms such as diphosphate, monosulfate, and hydrogen oxalate, as well as free base crystal forms I and II, protecting diphosphate. CN102470130B discloses crystal forms III and IV, which have acceptable hygroscopicity and protect crystal form III.

[0100]

[0101] The fine particle dose and fine particle fraction of the inhalation powder prepared with refenacin triphenylacetate were significantly higher than those of the inhalation powder prepared with refenacin diphosphate and crystalline form III. In the stability study, the fine particle dose and fine particle fraction of refenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder remained stable within 3 months of acceleration, while the fine particle dose and fine particle fraction of refenacin diphosphate and crystalline form III inhalation powder showed a downward trend within 3 months of acceleration. The related substances of refenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder increased slowly within 3 months of acceleration, while the related substances of refenacin diphosphate and crystalline form III inhalation powder increased significantly within 3 months of acceleration. The inhalation powder prepared with refenacin monosulfate and refenacin oxalate had the worst fine particle dose and fine particle fraction, and the related substances of both increased most significantly in the stability study.

[0102] In summary, the inhalation powder prepared using refenacin triphenylacetate has the best performance in the stability study. Example 8 Pharmacokinetic performance of different refenacin inhalation powders in rats

[0103] Male SD rats (SPF grade) were used in this embodiment, aged 9 months and weighing 180-220g. During the whole experiment, the rats were free to eat and drink. The SD rats for the experiment were grouped by randomized block design and divided into three groups: refenacin triphenylacetate crystalline inhalation powder group, refenacin diphosphate inhalation powder group and refenacin crystalline III inhalation powder group. The drug was administered by oral and nasal inhalation in rats, and the dosage was set to 375μg / kg (in terms of refenacin).

[0104] 0.5 ml of venous blood was collected from the fundus venous plexus at 0.1 h, 0.2 h, 0.5 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 60 h, 72 h, 96 h and 120 h after administration and placed in a pre-labeled EDTA (4 mM) anticoagulated EP tube. After whole blood collection, it was placed on ice and then centrifuged at 4 ° C, 8000 rpm, 5 min to collect plasma, transferred to a 96-well plate, and stored at -20 ° C until LC-MS / MS detection. The drug concentration in EDTA (4 mM) anticoagulated SD rat plasma was determined using the LC / MS / MS (Agilent 6460) method. WinNonlin 5.2 software was used to calculate the relevant pharmacokinetic parameters of the concentration at each time point after administration of each group according to the statistical distance theory. See Table 7 for details.

[0105] Table 7 Pharmacokinetic performance of different crystal / salt forms of revenacin inhalation powder in rats

[0106]

[0107] The pharmacokinetic results in rats showed that revenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder had the lowest peak blood concentration C max and AUC 0-∞ , indicating that the safety of revifenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder is significantly better than that of revifenacin diphosphate inhalation powder and revifenacin form III inhalation powder.

[0115]

[0116] Revenacin is a long-acting anticholinergic drug that has similar affinity to the subtypes of sarcosine receptors M1-M5. In the airway, it exhibits pharmacological effects by inhibiting smooth muscle M3 receptors to cause bronchial dilation. Smooth muscle M3 receptors are mainly located in the trachea and bronchi and are the main pharmacodynamic site of Revenacin. The above-mentioned animal tissue distribution test shows that 0.5h after inhalation administration, the concentration of refenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder in the lung tissue, main trachea and bronchus at the drug effect site is significantly higher than that of refenacin diphosphate inhalation powder and refenacin crystal form III inhalation powder, while in the bladder, heart and other places where clinical side effects (such as urinary retention) may occur, the concentration of refenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder is significantly lower than that of the other two crystal forms of refenacin inhalation powder, indicating that refenacin triphenylacetate inhalation powder can produce a higher bronchodilator effect than refenacin diphosphate inhalation powder and refenacin crystal form III inhalation powder and produce lower clinical side effects.
