Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to an external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fungal skin infection is a common skin disease in dogs and cats, has strong transmission ability, and belongs to zoonosis. Skin fungal infection can be generally divided into two categories, superficial fungal infection and deep fungal infection, wherein deep fungal infection is more harmful but has a lower incidence; and superficial fungal infection is less harmful, but has strong infectivity and a high incidence, which brings many health risks to the sick dogs and cats and pet owners. In the clinical treatment of fungal skin disease in dogs and cats, the treatment is slow in effect, the treatment cycle is long, and the disease is prone to recurrence. In addition, the existing antifungal drugs are mostly in the form of oral administration, and there are problems of poor compliance and toxic side effects in the actual application.

[0003] Itraconazole is a triazole broad-spectrum antifungal drug, which is developed by Johnson & Johnson Company, USA, and can effectively treat fungal infections caused by Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton floccosum, Candida, Blastomyces dermatitidis and the like. Itraconazole mainly affects the activity of cytochrome P450-dependent sterol 14α-demethylase of fungal cells, prevents the synthesis of ergosterol, an important component of fungal cell membranes, so as to inhibit fungal proliferation and promote fungal death.

[0004] Eucalyptol is a terpene, which widely exists in the oil of many eucalyptus trees, is a mixture of alpha-eucalyptol and beta-eucalyptol, and has certain antibacterial effect by destroying the cell wall and cell membrane of fungi, and can change the permeability, so that more drug molecules enter the fungal cells, and the combination of the two can improve the antifungal effect.

[0005] In the clinical treatment of pet skin fungal infection, there are very few drugs that can be selected, and most of them are oral preparations, such as ketoconazole tablets and itraconazole oral solution. In the medication treatment process, there are disadvantages such as large oral dose, long administration time, gastrointestinal stimulation (vomiting, anorexia, etc.) and liver and kidney toxicity. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies, the purpose of the present application is to provide an external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol which has significant antifungal effect and is convenient for clinical use, and a preparation method thereof.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] An external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol, the material composition of each 1000ml of the external spray is: itraconazole 8~10g, eucalyptol 10~20g, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin 250~300g, propylene glycol 100~140g, hydrochloric acid 9.5~12g, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether 140~160g, caprylic capric acid polyethylene glycol glycerin ester 40~60g, sodium hydroxide 1.9~2.1g, and the rest is purified water; wherein the amount of purified water is used for preparing solution to 1000ml.

[0009] Further, the material composition of each 1000ml of the external spray is: itraconazole 9g, eucalyptol 15g, hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin 270g, propylene glycol 120g, hydrochloric acid 10.5g, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether 150g, caprylic capric acid polyethylene glycol glycerin ester 50g, sodium hydroxide 2g, and the rest is purified water; wherein the amount of purified water is used for preparing solution to 1000ml.

[0010] Further, the preparation method of the external spray is specifically as follows:

[0011] 1) Take the prescription amount of 45% purified water, heat to 80℃, add the prescription amount of propylene glycol, 80℃, 50r / min stirring for 3min, to obtain solution 1;

[0012] 2) Slowly add the prescription amount of hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin to solution 1, stir until completely dissolved, to obtain clear and transparent solution 2;

[0013] 3) Add the prescription amount of hydrochloric acid to solution 2, stir for 3min, then add the prescription amount of itraconazole, stir for 45~60min, to obtain clear solution 3;

[0014] 4) First, take the prescription amount of diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and caprylic capric acid polyethylene glycol glycerin ester, 50r / min stirring for 3min, then add the prescription amount of eucalyptol, stir for 10min, to obtain light brown solution 4;

[0015] 5) Slowly add the obtained light brown solution 4 to clear solution 3, stir for 20min, then add the prescription amount of sodium hydroxide, stir until completely dissolved, finally add the rest of the purified water to constant volume, stir for 30min, and pass through a 0.22μm microporous filter, then fill into a pressure container, to obtain the external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol.

[0016] By using the above scheme, the present application has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This invention is based on the fact that both itraconazole and eucalyptol have good lipid solubility, and that itraconazole has the characteristic that its pharmacokinetics in the skin is delivered through sebum, which can make its concentration in the skin much higher than that in plasma. Therefore, the topical skin preparation developed has the advantages of significant antifungal effect and convenient clinical use.

[0018] 2. This invention prepares a topical spray by combining the broad-spectrum antifungal drugs itraconazole and eucalyptol. It is a novel formulation for treating superficial fungal infections in dogs and cats. It can be directly sprayed onto the lesion site in dogs and cats, firstly avoiding contact between pet owners and the infected lesion, thus reducing the risk of zoonotic diseases. Secondly, it avoids the gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney toxicity, and other side effects associated with oral administration. It also solves the problem of poor palatability of oral administration in dogs and cats, improving medication compliance. It is convenient to use in clinical practice, has excellent effects, is stable, and has a certain special fragrance.

[0019] 3. In this invention, itraconazole and eucalyptol have a synergistic effect. Combined with an innovative dosage form, the medication is administered to the lesion site, resulting in significant transdermal absorption and remarkable clinical efficacy. It is also convenient and safe to use. Furthermore, the preparation process is simple and low-cost, making it suitable for widespread application.

[0020] Other advantages, objectives, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following examination, or may be learned from practice of the invention.

[0027] 1. Experimental method

[0028] According to the microdilution method of the American Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI), 15 strains of clinical isolates of Microsporum canis were selected for in vitro combined drug susceptibility testing, and the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was calculated. The FICI was used as the determination standard (when FICI≤0.5, it is synergistic; 0.5<FICI≤4.0, it is additive or irrelevant; when FICI>4.0, it is antagonistic). The drug interactions were analyzed, and Candida parapsilosis ATCC22019 was used as the quality control strain.

[0029] Preparation of drug solution: Itraconazole and eucalyptol were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to prepare drug stock solutions of 320 μg / ml and 10 mg / ml, respectively, and stored frozen for future use. When used, the drug stock solutions were diluted with RPMI 1640 liquid medium to prepare working solutions with a final concentration of 2 times.

[0030] Bacterial liquid culture: The isolated test strains were cultured on SDA medium at 28°C for 7 days, and subcultured twice. After activation, the test bacteria were taken in a sterile test tube containing 2 ml of normal saline, allowed to stand, and the supernatant was shaken. The turbidimeter was used to adjust the concentration of the bacterial suspension to 5×10 6 CFU / ml. The RPMI 1640 liquid medium was used to dilute the inoculum suspension to a concentration of 5×10 4 CFU / ml with a final concentration of 2 times.

[0031] Operation steps: A 96-well plate was used, the first column was used as a blank control, the 12th column was used as a growth control, and the remaining columns were used for 2 times the final concentration of the two drugs alone and in combination. The drug amount of each strain was as shown in Table 1. The 1-8 wells of the 10th and 11th columns were used for 100 μl of single drug dilution, and the remaining wells were used for 50 μl of two-drug combination dilution. The concentration range of itraconazole was 0.0625-8 μg / ml, and the concentration range of eucalyptol was 62.5-8000 μg / ml. Each well was inoculated with 100 μl of the prepared bacterial suspension, and the drug sensitivity plate was placed in a 28°C constant temperature incubator for 5 days. The results of each strain in the experiment could be increased or decreased by 2 orders of magnitude in drug concentration.

[0032] 2. Experimental results

[0122] Table 2: Accelerated stability test results

[0123]

[0124] As shown in Table 2, the accelerated stability test results of the product showed that the product obtained in Comparative Example 1 failed to pass the accelerated stability test, its properties, relative density and itraconazole content all changed significantly, which did not meet the product quality requirements, indicating that reducing the amount of solubilizing agent hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin and cosolvent propylene glycol in the preparation prescription could significantly affect the product quality;

[0125] The products obtained in Examples 2-7 are subjected to accelerated stability test, and the properties, pH value, relative density, itraconazole and eucalyptol content involved in the product quality requirements have no significant change. The accelerated stability test results of the products obtained in Examples 4 and 7 show that the product quality has no significant difference in the production batch amplification process by the preparation method. Therefore, the external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol produced by the present application has good process reproducibility and stable product quality.

[0133]

[0134] From Table 3, Figures 1-2 ​​It can be seen that the in-vitro transdermal penetration test results show that the cumulative permeation amounts of the three groups of tested products increase with the extension of time, but the cumulative permeation amount of the product obtained in Comparative Example 2 is the smallest, indicating that the transdermal penetration performance of the product is the lowest, and the transdermal penetration performances of the products obtained in Examples 4 and 7 have no obvious difference; it can be known from the transdermal penetration performance results of the product obtained in Comparative Example 2 that reducing the amounts of the skin penetration promoters diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and caprylic capric acid polyethylene glycol glycerin ester in the preparation prescription can obviously affect the transdermal penetration performance of the product. At the same time, the transdermal penetration test results of the products obtained in Examples 4 and 7 also show that the transdermal penetration performances of the products obtained in the production batch amplification process of the preparation method have no obvious difference. Therefore, the external spray containing itraconazole and eucalyptol prepared by the present application has excellent transdermal penetration performance, can be used through the external spray mode and the local transdermal route, and can achieve the therapeutic effect of treating superficial skin fungal infections.
