Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a semaglutide pharmaceutical composition. Background Art
[0002] Semaglutide, with the molecular formula C 187 H 291 N 45 O 59 , is a GLP-1 receptor agonist and has 94% homology with GLP-1 in the human body. GLP-1 is an incretin secreted by intestinal L cells of the small intestine, and it exists in multiple sites including the pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, heart, brain, lung and kidney, and has the effect of reducing blood sugar. The structural formula is as follows:
[0003]
[0004] The stomach contains more gastric acid and pepsin. Semaglutide has low resistance to enzymes and is easily degraded by gastrointestinal digestive enzymes and hydrolases in body fluids, thus losing its activity. The oral bioavailability of polypeptide drugs is extremely low, and clinical application is extremely difficult. In 2019, the oral preparation of semaglutide developed by Novo Nordisk was approved by the FDA for the treatment of type II diabetes. An excipient, sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamide) octanoate (SNAC), which can promote the absorption of semaglutide in the stomach, is added to this oral preparation. The molecular formula of SNAC is C 15 H 22 NNaO4, and the structural formula is as follows:
[0005]
[0006] SNAC can effectively increase the local pH value around the semaglutide molecule in the stomach, prevent the degradation of the polypeptide by pepsin, and enable semaglutide to penetrate the gastric mucosa and be absorbed into the blood by means of the concentration gradient on the cell membrane surface; SNAC promotes the monomerization of semaglutide, making it more permeable. For the semaglutide molecule, most semaglutide exists in the form of oligomers in the stomach, while SNAC triggers a change in the polarity of the solution containing the dissolving tablet, weakening the hydrophobic interactions necessary for oligomerization; due to the lipophilicity of SNAC, it effectively inserts into the cell membrane of gastric epithelium, changing the inherent integrity of cholesterol phospholipids and proteins, and thus affecting the fluidity of the cell membrane. However it still has defects such as low bioavailability, great influence by food, and large individual differences.
[0007] The semaglutide compositions disclosed in the original patents CN201180060463.1 and CN201610420028.X contain 5 to 20 mg of semaglutide and 300 mg of SNAC. CN201380015554.2 and CN201711156842.6 disclose semaglutide compositions comprising a first type of particle and a second type of particle, the first type of particle containing N-(8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino)octanoate and no semaglutide, and the second type of particle containing semaglutide and no N-(8-(2-hydroxybenzoyl)amino)octanoate. Among them, in the optimal formulation F, the first type of particle consists of SNAC, magnesium stearate, and microcrystalline cellulose, and the second type of particle consists of semaglutide, microcrystalline cellulose, and povidone, claiming to have improved bioavailability. Semaglutide is a pH-dependent drug. A large amount of SNAC (the dosage of SNAC is at least 0.6 mmol, 180 mg) is used in the above preparations. SNAC is a small molecule fatty acid derivative with low solubility in acidic media. Moreover, due to the large differences in gastric acid in the stomach among different individuals, even the same amount of SNAC has quite different effects on different individuals, resulting in low and variable bioavailability of semaglutide.
[0008] The pharmaceutical composition disclosed in CN201980031030.X contains semaglutide, a salt of NAC, and a solubilizer nicotinamide or resorcinol. The provided composition exhibits accelerated absorption, enabling rapid and effective uptake of the active pharmaceutical ingredient; CN201980011485.5 provides a semaglutide pharmaceutical composition consisting of semaglutide, SNAC, and a lubricant, with accelerated absorption within 15 - 30 minutes after administration, thereby improving the exposure of the GLP-1 agonist through oral administration. However, the gastric emptying of the above compositions also varies greatly among individuals.
[0009] The solid pharmaceutical composition disclosed in CN202180031965.5 contains semaglutide, a salt of NAC, and histidine, which can reduce the formation of hydrophobic impurities, semaglutide formaldehyde adducts, and semaglutide acetaldehyde adducts, but its stability still needs to be improved; CN201380032636.8 claims to provide semaglutide tablets with improved bioavailability, but it is necessary to strictly control the physical parameters of the tablets such as density, porosity, and / or crushing strength, which is not easily subjectively controlled and not suitable for industrial scale-up production.
[0010] WO2023065231A1 discloses a composition of semaglutide, SNAC and sodium caprate, which improves the oral bioavailability of semaglutide compared to the composition of semaglutide and SNAC. However, this composition requires adding semaglutide, SNAC, sodium caprate and other optional excipients to water for dissolution and then freeze-drying, and then pressing into tablets. The preparation process is not simple, and different freeze-drying parameters will affect the product quality; WO2023084118A1 discloses a solid composition of semaglutide containing a penetration enhancer acylated amino acid AC-aa or its salt, which has comparable bioavailability compared to ; WO2019193204A1 prepared semaglutide tablets with slow disintegration characteristics in gastric juice using arginine and sucrose stearate, and semaglutide capsules containing arginine and sodium caprate achieved an absolute oral bioavailability of 3.1%.
[0011] Therefore, in the prior art, semaglutide oral preparations still have defects such as low bioavailability, large variability and poor stability. Those skilled in the art need to study the above problems and find materials that can more quickly adjust the pH and extend the relatively high pH environment to obtain a more stable and high-bioavailability semaglutide preparation, so as to meet the clinical needs. Summary of the Invention
[0012] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the inventors provide a semaglutide pharmaceutical composition and its preparation method. The semaglutide pharmaceutical preparation prepared by the present invention has good stability and high bioavailability, and is suitable for industrial production.
[0013] Regarding the degradation problem of semaglutide by pepsin, the inventors conducted a large number of experiments. First, they tried to add sodium bicarbonate that can quickly neutralize gastric acid and increase the gastric pH value, but found that it could not effectively improve the bioavailability of semaglutide. Then they tried to add omeprazole to the formulation, and the results showed that the stability and bioavailability of the preparation were not ideal, probably because omeprazole degraded when encountering acid in the stomach and could not achieve good results. After adding omeprazole and sodium bicarbonate at the same time, the bioavailability of semaglutide was improved to a certain extent, but the preparation stability was not high.
[0014] The present invention is specifically realized through the following solutions:
