Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of pharmaceutical compositions, particularly pharmaceutical compositions of aquaporin inhibitors and methods for their production.

Background Art

[0002] Aquaporin is a cell membrane protein that functions as a molecular water channel mediating the flow of water into and out of cells. Although there is a certain degree of passive diffusion or osmosis of water across the cell membrane, aquaporin is involved in the rapid and selective transport of water into and out of cells. These water channels selectively guide water molecules into and out of cells, while at the same time blocking the passage of ions and other solutes, thereby maintaining the membrane potential of cells. Aquaporin is found in virtually all living organisms, from bacteria to plants and animals. In humans, they are found in cells throughout the body.

[0003] Aquaporin inhibitors, such as inhibitors of AQP4 and / or AQP2, may be useful for the treatment or control of diseases of water imbalance, such as edema (particularly cerebral and spinal cord edema), hyponatremia and excessive fluid retention, as well as diseases such as epilepsy, retinal ischemia and other eye diseases, myocardial ischemia, myocardial ischemia / reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, myocardial hypoxia, congestive heart failure, sepsis, and neuromyelitis optica, and migraine.

[0004] WO2013169939 discloses N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-chloro-2-hydroxy-benzamide (the structure shown in formula (II)) as an aquaporin inhibitor. Formula (I) (the structure shown below) is a prodrug of formula (II). The compound can treat or control aquaporin-mediated diseases selected from cytotoxic cerebral edema, spinal cord edema, retinal edema, optic nerve edema, cardiac edema, neuromyelitis optica, hyponatremia, retinal ischemia, and excessive fluid retention. [[ID=​​​​​​ Compounds of formula (I) need to be prepared as liquid formulations for intravenous injection or infusion to achieve rapid onset of action. However, the water solubility of formula (I) needs to be improved to allow injections that provide a therapeutically effective amount of formula (II). Furthermore, the more soluble salts of formula (I) can revert to N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzamide (compound of formula (II)) even in the solid state. WO2015069956 shows that certain lyophilized salts of formula (I) revert to formula (II) even in the solid state (approximately 1% per day or 1% over 5 days). Solving the problems of drug solubility and stability is urgent in order to provide pharmaceutical compositions that meet the requirements of clinical medicine. [ka] Formula (II) [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0023] In some embodiments, the lyophilized formulation disclosed herein is reconstituted with an aqueous solution containing sodium and / or potassium (e.g., an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride, such as 0.9% NaCl, or an aqueous solution containing sodium chloride and sodium lactate or sodium acetate (e.g., lactated Ringer's solution or acetate Ringer's solution), or an aqueous solution containing potassium chloride (e.g., potassium chloride injection solution)). Reconstitution with water for injection or glucose may result in visible particles.

[0024] In some embodiments, the "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" in the present application are selected from alkali metal salts (e.g., sodium salts, preferably disodium salts), and organic base salts (e.g., ammonium salts, preferably meglumine salts).

[0025] In some embodiments, the "pharmaceutically acceptable solvate" in the present application is a hydrate (e.g., dihydrate).

[0026] In the present application, when the pharmaceutical composition is in solid form (e.g., lyophilized formulation), the pH refers to the pH value of the solution of the solid pharmaceutical composition before lyophilization or the pH value after reconstitution.

[0027] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the weight of 2-((3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-4-chlorophenyl dihydrogen phosphate or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or its pharmaceutically acceptable solvate, is based on the weight of 2-((3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-4-chlorophenyl dihydrogen phosphate.

[0028] Sugars (e.g., trehalose) may be provided in hydrated form. In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the weight of a sugar (e.g., sucrose, lactose, glucose or trehalose) is based on the weight of the sugar in anhydrous form.

[0029] The present invention provides a formulation of the compound of formula (I) that can be rapidly activated and reconstituted into a human-acceptable liquid for intravenous injection or infusion, so that the compound of formula (I) can be used in the treatment of cerebral edema. At the same time, the composition of the compound of formula (I) and the method of producing it in the present invention are simple, easy to handle, contribute to industrial production, have good product stability, contain significantly low levels of degradable impurities (e.g., the compound of formula (II)), and reliably exhibit efficacy. For example, compared to compositions containing other bases such as sodium salt bases or other amine bases (e.g., arginine, lysine, and histidine), certain compositions containing meglumine disclosed herein are shown to exhibit less reversion from formula (I) to formula (II). Although not bound by theory, it is thought that some bases may drive a monomolecule process in which formula (I) reverts to formula (II). Formula (II) has low aqueous solubility and therefore even small amounts in an injectable formulation can produce visible particles, rendering the formulation unusable. The use of meglumine results in fewer impurities in the lyophilized composition, making the composition acceptable for injection after reconstitution.

[0030] The present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition (composition 1a) comprising 2-((3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)carbamoyl)-4-chlorophenyl (formula (I)) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutically acceptable solvate thereof, and meglumine.
