Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, specifically relating to a rametamide suspension nasal spray and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Ramelteon, molecular formula C 16 H 21 NO2, with a molecular weight of 259.343, has the chemical name (S)-N-[2-(1,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2H-indeno-[5,4-b]furan-8-yl)ethyl]propionamide, and its structural formula is as follows:

[0003]

[0004] Ramelteline is a melatonin receptor agonist that selectively activates melatonin receptors type 1 and type 2 (MT1 and MT2) primarily in the hypothalamus, increasing slow-wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement (REW) sleep, thereby reducing insomnia. Ramelteline is currently the first non-addictive insomnia treatment not listed under special regulations, and its tablet form has been approved in countries such as Japan and the United States.

[0005] However, due to the extensive first-pass metabolism of rameltein in the liver, its oral bioavailability is only 1.8%. Furthermore, since rameltein is primarily metabolized via CYP1A2, with CYP2C subgroups and CYP3A4 also involved, significant inter-individual variability and significant drug-drug interactions are expected with its oral formulation. For example, fluvoxamine maleate (a potent CYP1A2 inhibitor) can significantly increase the plasma concentration and systemic exposure of rameltein. In addition, compared to healthy volunteers, patients with hepatic impairment also show increased systemic exposure to rameltein (AUC increased 8 to 10.7 times). When taken with a high-fat meal, the AUC of rameltein is 31% higher than when administered on an empty stomach, but C... max Reduced by 22% and T max Delaying the process severely impacts the product's ability to accelerate sleep onset.

[0006] Nasal administration avoids the first-pass effect of oral administration, allowing the drug to enter the bloodstream directly, resulting in rapid onset of action, improved bioavailability, and guaranteed therapeutic efficacy.

[0007] Patent CN110996938A discloses a nasal spray solution for intranasal administration of ramelteamide. However, the applicant discovered that the osmotic pressure of this nasal spray solution exceeds 500 mOsmol / kg. Excessively high osmotic pressure can cause stinging at the administration site during nasal administration, and long-term use may damage the nasal mucosa and nasal cilia, making it unsuitable for the treatment of chronic diseases such as insomnia. Furthermore, according to the FDA's list of approved inactive ingredients (https: / / www.accessdata.fda.gov / scripts / cder / iig / index.cfm), sulfobutyl ether-β-cyclodextrin in the formulation is not approved for nasal use. Large doses of cyclodextrin and its derivatives have local and systemic toxicity, easily leading to changes in nasal histological characteristics and ciliary beating frequency. They also exhibit hemolytic toxicity and cytotoxicity, posing a high safety risk.

[0008] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a rametamide nasal spray that reduces the irritation of nasal administration and improves patient safety. Summary of the Invention
