Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of medicinal chemistry, specifically to solid dispersions of 3,5,7-trihydroxyflavonoid derivatives, their preparation methods, and uses. Background Technology
[0002] Literature reports that 3,5,7-trihydroxyflavonoid derivatives (Formula 1) have an effective inhibitory effect on PDE5A1, with an IC50 very close to that of sildenafil (IC50 75 vs. 74 nM); its selectivity for phosphodiesterase-6 (PDE6) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate phosphodiesterase (cAMP-PDE) is higher than that of sildenafil; this compound has strong potential for development.
[0003]
[0004] During the research and development process, it was discovered that the compound is a water-insoluble crystal, slightly soluble in glacial acetic acid, very slightly soluble in methanol, insoluble in water, and has very low bioavailability.
[0005] For poorly soluble drugs, solid dispersions prepared using water-soluble carriers not only maintain a high degree of drug dispersion but also exhibit good wetting properties. This is significant in improving drug solubility, accelerating dissolution rates, and thus enhancing bioavailability. Solid dispersions (SDs) refer to a dispersion system in which a drug is highly dispersed in a solid carrier, existing in solid form. The drug particle size in the carrier is between 0.001 and 0.1 mm, primarily used to accelerate and increase the dissolution of poorly soluble drugs, thereby improving their bioavailability. For example, Southwest Pharmaceutical Factory No. 3 used a melt method with PEG6000 as a carrier to prepare griseofulvin droplets. The results showed that the solid dispersion was almost completely absorbed within 2 hours of oral administration, while the micronized tablets were absorbed only 44.3% within 30-80 hours. The absorption of griseofulvin dispersions with a drug-carrier ratio of 1:10-1:5 was more than twice that of the micronized tablets. Ozkan et al. prepared an etordosulfuric acid-PEG immediate-release solid dispersion, and the results showed that the solvent-based SD had better dissolution performance than the melt-based product. PEG6000 was selected as the best choice, showing the best drug dissolution with PEG6000, with over 60% dissolving within 10 minutes. The amorphous form remained unchanged in SD after 9 months of storage. Betageri et al. found that glibenclamide-PEG solid dispersions prepared by solvent-freeze-drying released the drug faster than melt-processed products, significantly increasing the dissolution rate of glibenclamide. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the technical problem of low bioavailability of the target compound, the inventors initially considered preparing it as a solid dispersion. Those skilled in the art know that PEG has low toxicity, is easily absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, does not interfere with drug content analysis, and can significantly increase the drug's dissolution rate and bioavailability, making it the most commonly used PEG. To increase the dissolution rate and bioavailability of the compound of Formula 1, the inventors attempted to prepare a solid dispersion using existing technology, first mixing the compound of Formula 1 with PEG6000 via a solvent method. However, they found that this did not significantly improve the dissolution effect.
[0007] The inventors continued to try using the grinding method, with the ratio of Formula 1 compound to PEG6000 at 1:9, to prepare a solid dispersion. Verification tests showed that its dissolution rate was improved, but not significantly.
[0008] The inventors then considered the melt method for preparing solid dispersions. The melt method involves mixing and melting the drug with a carrier material, rapidly cooling it into a solid, and then placing the solid at a certain temperature to make it brittle. This method is suitable for heat-stable drugs and carrier materials that are poorly soluble in organic solvents and have low melting points, such as PEG, citric acid, and sugars. Since the melting point of compound 1 is above 200°C, the melt method easily leads to thermal decomposition of both the drug and the carrier for drugs with such high melting points. Therefore, this method is not suitable for achieving the desired effect. However, the inventors, with a try-it-out attitude, wanted to understand how much the melting point of the mixture of PEG and compound 1 differed from that of compound 1 itself. The inventors unexpectedly discovered that by first grinding the compound of Formula 1 and PEG6000 in a ratio of 1:(10-12) to form a solid dispersion 1, and then performing hot melt extrusion, the hot melt temperature of the compound of Formula 1 and PEG could be reduced to 120-150°C by controlling specific hot melt extrusion conditions, thus ensuring the stability of the drug. The resulting solid dispersion could achieve rapid dissolution in the dissolution medium, thereby improving its bioavailability.
[0009] The specific plan is as follows:
[0010] The dispersion contains a compound of formula 1 and PEG;
[0011] Specifically, the dispersion comprises the following components in the following weight ratios:
[0012] One part of compound 1
[0013] PEG 10-14 parts
[0014] The preferred composition includes the following components in the following weight ratios:
[0015] One part of compound 1
[0016] PEG 10-12 parts
[0017] Further preferred are components comprising the following weight ratios:
[0018] One part of compound 1
[0019] PEG 11 parts
[0020] The molecular weight of the PEG is 2000-20000;
[0021] The specific preparation steps are as follows:
[0022] 1) Pulverize the raw material compound 1 and PEG separately and pass them through a 50-100 mesh sieve. Mix them evenly in proportion and then grind them into a solid dispersion.
[0023] 2) Set the extrusion temperature of the twin-screw extruder to 120-150℃. After the temperature reaches the set value, start the screw and add the solid dispersion from step 1) into the extruder. After melting and extrusion, it is finally extruded in strip form.
[0024] 3) After cooling the strip extrudate, crush it and sieve it to obtain hot melt extruded solid dispersion particles of compound 1.
[0025] Ethanol is preferably added during grinding in step 1); the amount of ethanol is 0.01-1 part; preferably 0.01-0.1 part.
[0026] The present invention also provides a solid dosage form, specifically, the target solid dispersion powder obtained in step 3) is directly packaged as granules or powders, or processed into capsules, tablets, coated onto microspheres by lamination, or coated on the surface of the preparation to form the corresponding solid dosage form.
[0027] This invention employs differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the hot-melt extruded solid dispersion of compound 1. The DSC results show that the endothermic peak of compound 1 has disappeared.
[0028] Compared with traditional processes, the present invention has the following outstanding advantages:
[0029] 1. The melting point of the compound of Formula 1 is above 200°C. In this invention, the inventors creatively used pre-grinding followed by hot melt extrusion in the hot melt extrusion of the compound of Formula 1, and used PEG as a solubilizer and plasticizer, which achieved unexpected results. The hot melt temperature can be reduced to below 150°C, which not only increases the dissolution of the drug and reduces energy consumption, but also ensures the stability of the drug.
[0030] 2. The choice of the present invention can not only reduce the hot melt extrusion temperature and facilitate the extrusion process, but also obtain a sufficiently strong screw shearing action, thereby effectively improving the dispersion state of the drug in the carrier; at the same time, it can also play a solubilizing role, improve the bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs, reduce the dosage, and reduce adverse drug reactions.
[0031] 3. The preparation process provided by this invention is simple, consumes little energy, leaves no solvent residue, and does not introduce other impurities throughout the process, making it easy to achieve continuous large-scale production. Attached Figure Description

[0079] Verification Example 1
[0080] Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments were performed on the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Formula 1, the hot-melt extruded solid dispersion of Formula 1 prepared in Example 1, and the product prepared in Comparative Example 2. The corresponding spectra are shown in [reference needed].

[0081] Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that: the spectral lines of the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Formula 1 contain an obvious endothermic peak of Formula 1; this peak is significantly reduced in the physical mixture obtained in Comparative Example 2, but still exists; this peak completely disappears in the spectral lines of the hot melt extruded solid dispersion of Formula 1 prepared in Example 4; the drug Formula 1 compound in the hot melt extruded solid dispersion of Formula 1 obtained by the technical solution of the present invention is more uniformly dispersed in the carrier material.
[0082] Verification Example 2
[0083] Dissolution determination: Accurately weigh appropriate amounts of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, physical mixture, and extruded powder (equivalent to approximately 10 mg of drug). Following Method II, Appendix XC, Part II of the 2010 Chinese Pharmacopoeia, using 900 mL of purified water as the dissolution medium and a rotation speed of 75 r / min, collect 5 mL of solution at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45, and 60 min, simultaneously replenishing with the same volume and temperature of dissolution medium. Filter the solution through a 0.45 μm microporous membrane to obtain the test solution. Separately, accurately weigh an appropriate amount of the compound of Formula 1 reference standard and prepare an 11 μg / mL reference solution. Perform high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (Appendix VD, Part II of the 2010 Chinese Pharmacopoeia), using octadecyl-bonded silica gel as the stationary phase and 20% acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase, with a detection wavelength of 250 nm. Accurately inject 10 μL into the HPLC system and record the chromatogram. Calculate the cumulative drug dissolution amount based on peak area using the external standard method. Dissolution experiments were conducted on the active pharmaceutical ingredient of Formula 1, physical mixtures, imported tablets (Xarelto 10mg, batch number: BXG3651), hot melt extruded solid dispersion particles of Formula 1 obtained in Examples 1-5 and Comparative Examples 1-6, and the raw material of Formula 1.

The dissolution test results further verify the superiority of the present invention.

[0127] 1.1 Materials
[0128] 150–200 g SD rats; DM EM medium (Gibico); fetal bovine serum (Hangzhou Sijiqing Co., Ltd.); trypsin (Sigma).
[0129] 1.2 Experimental Methods
[0130] 1.2.1 Culture of rat ASMCs
[0131] Following the method described in relevant literature: Under aseptic conditions, the trachea was longitudinally dissected, the outer membrane was carefully peeled off, and the inner membrane was gently scraped away. The tracheal segment was carefully cut into small tissue blocks (1mm × 1mm × 1mm) using ophthalmic scissors. These blocks were then placed on the bottom of a 5cm × 5cm culture flask, arranged at equal intervals. 2mL of DMEM (high glucose) medium containing 25% fetal bovine serum was added, ensuring the culture medium did not contact the tissue blocks. The culture flask was placed bottom-up and incubated at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide for approximately 3 hours to allow the tissue blocks to nearly dry. The culture flask was then gently inverted so that the culture medium just covered the surface of the tissue blocks. After 3 days of semi-open, absolutely static culture, the culture medium was added to 5mL. The medium was completely changed after 6 days, and thereafter changed every 3 days. After approximately 7 days, the cells reached confluence and were passaged. Cells from passages 4-5 were used in the experiment. The cultured rat ASMCs were identified morphologically.
[0132] 1.2.2 Detection of ASMC proliferation in rats using the CCK-8 assay
[0133] Fourth-generation rat ASMCs were cultured and prepared into a single-cell suspension, at a concentration of 1×10⁻⁶ cells / cells. 4Cells were seeded per well in a 96-well plate and cultured at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide for 24 hours. When the cells reached a confluent state, culture medium containing 0.1% fetal bovine serum was added (to arrest cell growth in the G0 phase) and the cells were cultured for another 24 hours.
[0134] The culture medium was replaced with one containing 1% fetal bovine serum, and the cells were randomly divided into:
[0135] Control group: DMEM was added to each well only;
[0136] Group of compounds of formula I, with a concentration of 1×10⁻⁶. -6 mol / L;
[0137] Comparative Example 6: The concentration of Comparative Example 6 was 1×10⁶. -6 mol / L;
[0138] Example 1 group: The concentration of Example 1 is 1×10 -6 mol / L;
[0139] Each group was configured with 5 replicates, and a control group (containing no cells, but with the same DMEM concentration as the corresponding group) was also included in each group. After culturing at 37℃ and 5% CO2 for 48 h, 10 μL of CCK-8 reagent was added to each well, and the cells were cultured for another 4 h. The OD value of each well was measured at 450 nm. The cell growth inhibition rate of each group was calculated using the formula: Cell growth inhibition rate = 1 - [(OD value of each drug-treated group - OD value of the corresponding control group) / (OD value of the control group - OD value of the corresponding control group)] × 100%.

[0141] 2.1 Identification of ASMC
[0142] Observation with an inverted phase contrast microscope revealed that ASMCs were spindle-shaped before merging, and after merging, cells in some areas were arranged in bundles, exhibiting a typical "peak and valley" shape.
[0143] 2.2 Effects on ASMC proliferation
[0144] After the solid dispersion of the present invention was applied to ASMC for 48 hours, the OD value of the cells in the solid dispersion group of the present invention was significantly reduced compared with that of the compound group of Formula I, and the difference was statistically significant.

They were raised under the conditions of temperature 20 - 22°C, relative humidity 45% - 65%, and light / dark 12 h / 12 h, with free diet and water.
[0158] Gavage administration group of the compound of the present invention: Eighteen healthy Wistar rats that had fasted for 12 hours and had free access to water, half male and half female, were divided into 3 groups, the group of Compound I (gavaged with Compound I), the group of Comparative Example 6 (gavaged with the preparation of Comparative Example 6), and the group of Example 1 (gavaged with the preparation of Example 1). Each group was gavaged once, and the administration dose was 3 mg / kg. They were fasted 12 h before administration and had free access to water. Approximately 300 μL of blood was collected from the retroorbital venous plexus at 0 h (before administration), 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after administration. The blood was anticoagulated with heparin and centrifuged at 12000 rpm at 4°C for 5 min to separate plasma, which was stored in a -20°C freezer. They had free access to water during the experiment and ate 2 h after gavage.
[0159] The intravenous administration group of the compound of this invention: Eighteen healthy Wistar rats (half male and half female) that had been fasted for 12 hours and had free access to water were divided into three groups: the compound I group (injection of compound I), the comparative example 6 group (injection of the formulation of comparative example 6), and the example 1 group (injection of the formulation of example 1). All groups were administered the compound via tail vein injection at a dose of 3 mg / kg. Approximately 300 μL of blood was collected from the retro-orbital venous plexus before administration (0 h) and at 0.033, 0.083, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 h after administration. The blood was anticoagulated with heparin, centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C, and the plasma was separated and stored at -20°C. During the experiment, rats had free access to food and water.
[0160] 2. Plasma sample testing
[0161] All processed plasma samples were subjected to UPLC-MS / MS quantitative analysis to determine plasma drug concentration.
[0162] 3. Calculation of bioavailability
[0163] The measured blood drug concentration-time data were used to calculate pharmacokinetic parameters using DAS software (Drug and Statistics, compiled by Sun Ruiyuan et al., Chinese Society for Mathematical Pharmacology). The absolute bioavailability of the solid dispersion was calculated according to the formula, where t is the sampling time at which the final measurable drug concentration was obtained.
