Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a mitotane freeze-dried preparation and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a malignant tumor originating from the adrenal cortex. It has a low incidence rate, but is characterized by high malignancy, rapid disease progression, and easy local metastasis. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment method, but for patients with advanced disease or systemic recurrence who cannot undergo surgical treatment, drug therapy and other methods are required.
[0003] Currently, Mitotane is the only orphan drug approved for the treatment of ACC. Mitotane is not only suitable for ACC patients who are inoperable or have extensive metastases, but can also prolong the recurrence-free survival and overall survival of ACC patients who undergo surgical treatment.
[0004] Monitoring the blood concentration of mitotane is a key step in the drug administration process, because the effective therapeutic concentration window of mitotane is extremely narrow. The recommended concentration in the expert consensus on mitotane treatment of adrenocortical carcinoma (2021) is 14-20 mg / L. Below this concentration, the optimal therapeutic effect cannot be achieved. In order to achieve an effective blood concentration, the recommended starting dose is 2-6 g of mitotane per day, divided into 3-4 doses. After 2-3 weeks of treatment, the blood concentration of mitotane should be monitored, and then the dosage should be adjusted according to the blood concentration to achieve the therapeutic blood concentration.
[0005] However, mitotane has very poor water solubility, only 0.1 mg / L. The current commercial dosage form is a 500 mg tablet. Even at a dose of up to 6 g / day (i.e., 12 tablets per day), more than 50% of patients are unable to achieve a therapeutic blood concentration of 14 mg / L due to its poor water solubility and low bioavailability. Summary of the invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mitotane freeze-dried preparation and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problem of low solubility of mitotane in water.

The method comprises the following steps: mixing mitotane with ethanol to obtain a mitotane ethanol solution, preparing a mixed solution containing the mitotane ethanol stock solution, physiological saline, a serum solution and amino acids, and freeze-drying the mixed solution to obtain the mitotane freeze-dried preparation; the serum solution comprises one of human serum, bovine serum and serum albumin solution.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0013] Furthermore, in the mixed solution, the mass ratio of mitotane, the physiological saline, serum albumin and amino acids is 1:1000:100-125:2-5.
[0014] Furthermore, the method further comprises the following steps: adding the serum-like solution and the amino acid into physiological saline, stirring evenly until the amino acid is completely dissolved, adding the mitotane ethanol solution, stirring evenly, and obtaining the mixed solution.
[0015] Furthermore, the freeze-drying temperature is -10°C to -50°C.

[0052] The pharmaceutical composition for treating cancer of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned mitotane freeze-dried preparation or the above-mentioned solution containing mitotane.
[0053] Specifically, the cancer is adrenocortical carcinoma.
[0054] The present invention is described below by means of specific examples.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] In this embodiment, the lyophilized preparation of mitotane is prepared by the method of the present invention and reconstituted, and the specific steps are as follows:
[0057] (1) Prepare 10 mg / ml mitotane ethanol stock solution: Place 20 mg of mitotane in a 2 ml EP tube, add 2 ml ethanol, and shake well for later use.
[0058] (2) Prepare 50 g / L human / bovine serum albumin solution: Take 1.25 g human serum albumin, add 25 ml saline to dissolve, shake well and set aside.
[0059] (3) Prepare bovine serum or human serum: dissolve the bovine serum or human serum in a 37°C water bath and take 20 ml of the bovine serum or human serum for later use;
[0060] (4) Preparation of a composition solution of mitotane, human / bovine serum albumin and amino acids: 10 ml of normal saline was placed in a beaker, 25 ml of human bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) and 30 mg of aspartic acid were added, and the mixture was stirred evenly until the aspartic acid was dissolved. 1 ml of mitotane ethanol stock solution was added, and the mixture was stirred evenly to obtain a composition of a yellow clear liquid, in which the concentration of mitotane was 0.286 mg / ml.
[0061] (5) Preparation of a composition solution of mitotane, bovine serum or human serum: Take 20 ml of physiological saline in a beaker, add 18.25 ml of bovine serum or human serum solution, stir evenly, add 1 ml of mitotane ethanol stock solution, stir evenly to obtain a light yellow clear liquid composition, in which the concentration of mitotane is 0.26 mg / ml.
[0062] (6) Freeze-drying: The compositions obtained in step (4) and step (5) were respectively packaged in 10 ml glass bottles, and freeze-dried at -40°C to obtain freeze-dried powders, which were then separately packaged in 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
[0063] (7) Reconstitution: Take 0.3432 g of the freeze-dried powder and add 10 ml of normal saline to reconstitute it. The concentration of mitotane in the obtained reconstituted solution is 0.286 mg / mL.
[0064] Example 2 Mixed solution and lyophilized powder prepared using bovine serum
[0065] (1) Preparation of 10 mg / ml mitotane ethanol solution: Place 20 mg of mitotane in a 2 ml EP tube, add 2 ml of ethanol, and shake well for later use.
[0066] (2) Comparison of the solubility of mitotane ethanol solution in bovine serum and physiological saline: In 10 ml of physiological saline, the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 1.2 mg was added, and a white precipitate was observed in the solution with the naked eye; while in 10 ml of bovine serum solution, the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 12 mg was added, and a white precipitate was observed in the solution. Therefore, the solubilization effect of bovine serum on mitotane ethanol solution is 10 times that of physiological saline.
[0067] (3) Preparation of a composite solution of mitotane ethanol solution and bovine serum: The optimal concentration of mitotane in physiological saline and bovine serum solution is 0.26 mg / ml, and the solution clarity is optimal at this concentration. At this time, the mass ratio of mitotane, physiological saline and bovine serum is 1:2000:1755. At this optimal mass ratio, the optimal amounts of mitotane ethanol solution, physiological saline and bovine serum are: 4 mg, 8 ml and 7.3 ml, as shown in Table 1:
[0068] Table 1
[0069] Mitotane ethanol solution Normal saline Bovine serum 4mg 8ml 7.3ml
[0070] (4) Freeze-drying: The composition obtained in step (3) was divided into 10 ml glass bottles and freeze-dried at -40°C to obtain freeze-dried powder, which was divided into 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
[0071] (5) Reconstitution: The freeze-dried powder prepared with the above optimal ratio is reconstituted to the optimal concentration of 0.26 mg / ml. The room temperature stability can be improved to 24 to 48 hours, and the clarity is also greatly improved.
[0072] (6) Comparison of the solubility of untreated mitotane powder and the lyophilized powder prepared by the method of this embodiment in physiological saline: The lyophilized powder prepared by the above optimal ratio, containing 4 mg of mitotane, can be reconstituted with at least 2 ml of physiological saline, and the solubility is 2 mg / ml, which is 500,000 times higher than the solubility of mitotane in pure physiological saline (0.004 mg / L).
[0073] Example 3 Mixed solution and lyophilized powder prepared using human serum
[0074] Considering the subsequent application issues, this example uses human serum instead of bovine serum for the experiment.
[0075] (1) Preparation of 10 mg / mL mitotane ethanol solution: Take 20 mg of mitotane in a 2 ml EP tube, add 2 ml of ethanol, shake well and set aside.
[0076] (2) Comparison of the solubility of mitotane ethanol solution in human serum and physiological saline: In 10 ml of physiological saline, the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 1.2 mg was added, and a white precipitate was observed in the solution with the naked eye; while in 10 ml of human serum solution, the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 12 mg was added, and then a white precipitate was observed in the solution. Therefore, the solubilization effect of human serum on mitotane ethanol solution is consistent with that of bovine serum, and is also 10 times that of physiological saline.
[0077] (3) Preparation of a composite solution of mitotane ethanol solution and human serum: The optimal concentration of mitotane in physiological saline and human serum solution is also 0.26 mg / ml, and the solution clarity is optimal at this concentration. At this time, the mass ratio of mitotane, physiological saline and human serum is 1:2000:1755. At this optimal mass ratio, the optimal amounts of mitotane ethanol solution, physiological saline and human serum are: 4 mg, 8 ml and 7.3 ml, as shown in Table 2:
[0078] Table 2
[0079] Mitotane ethanol solution Normal saline human serum 4mg 8ml 7.3ml
[0080] (4) Freeze-drying: The composition obtained in step (3) was divided into 10 ml glass bottles and freeze-dried at -40°C to obtain freeze-dried powder, which was divided into 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
[0081] (5) Reconstitution: When the freeze-dried powder prepared with the above optimal ratio is reconstituted to 0.033 mg / ml, the solution is clearest and stable for the longest time, at which time the stability time is 6 days.
[0082] (6) Comparison of the maximum reconstitution concentrations of the lyophilized powders prepared using bovine serum and human serum: 50 mg of the mitotane bovine serum lyophilized powder prepared in Example 2 can be reconstituted with at least 200 μl of saline, and its maximum reconstitution concentration is 250 mg / ml; while 50 mg of the mitotane human serum lyophilized powder prepared in this example can be reconstituted with at least 100 μl of saline, and its maximum reconstitution concentration is 500 mg / ml. Therefore, compared with bovine serum, the lyophilized powder prepared using human serum has higher reconstitution properties.
[0083] Example 4 Mixture prepared using human / bovine serum albumin solution and lyophilized powder
[0084] Although bovine serum and human serum can significantly improve the solubility of mitotane, in practical applications, serum has problems such as large batch-to-batch variation and high potential safety hazards. Serum albumin has high cost-effectiveness, small batch-to-batch variation, and better safety. Therefore, this example uses human serum albumin solution and bovine serum albumin solution respectively to investigate their effects on the solubility of mitotane.
[0085] (1) Preparation of 10 mg / mL mitotane ethanol solution: Take 20 mg of mitotane in a 2 ml EP tube, add 2 ml of ethanol, shake well and set aside.
[0086] (2) Prepare 50 g / L human serum albumin solution and bovine serum albumin solution: Dissolve 1.25 g human serum albumin and 1.25 g bovine serum albumin in 25 ml saline solution respectively, shake well and set aside.
[0087] (3) Comparison of the solubility of mitotane ethanol solution in human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) and normal saline: In 10 ml of normal saline, the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 1.2 mg was added, and a white precipitate was observed in the solution with the naked eye; while in 10 ml of human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L), the above mitotane ethanol solution was added gradually until 8.04 mg was added, and a white precipitate was observed in the solution. Therefore, the solubilization effect of 50 g / L human / bovine serum albumin solution on mitotane ethanol solution is 6.7 times that of normal saline.
[0088] (4) Preparation of a composite solution of mitotane ethanol solution and human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L): The optimal concentration of mitotane in physiological saline and human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) is 0.286 mg / ml, and the solution clarity is optimal at this concentration. At this time, the mass ratio of mitotane, physiological saline and human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) is 1:1000:125. At this optimal mass ratio, the optimal dosage of mitotane ethanol solution, physiological saline and human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) is: 1 mg, 1 ml, 2.5 ml, as shown in Table 3:
[0089] Table 3
[0090] Mitotane ethanol solution Normal saline Human / bovine serum albumin solution (50g / L) 1mg 1ml 2.5ml
[0091] (5) Freeze-drying: The composition obtained in step (4) was divided into 10 ml glass bottles and freeze-dried at -40°C to obtain freeze-dried powder, which was divided into 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
[0092] (6) Reconstitution: Take 0.3432 g of the lyophilized powder and add 10 ml of physiological saline to reconstitute it. The concentration of mitotane in the reconstituted solution is 0.286 mg / mL. The lyophilized powder prepared by the above optimal ratio has the longest stability time of 7 days when reconstituted to 0.286 mg / ml.
[0093] Example 5 Mixture and lyophilized powder prepared using human / bovine serum albumin solution and amino acids
[0094] In order to better simulate serum, this example investigates the effect of adding amino acids on the solubility of mitotane based on the use of human / bovine serum albumin solution. This example uses aspartic acid as an example.
[0095] (1) Preparation of 10 mg / mL mitotane ethanol solution: Take 20 mg of mitotane in a 2 ml EP tube, add 2 ml of ethanol, shake well and set aside.
[0096] (2) Prepare 50 g / L human serum albumin solution and bovine serum albumin solution: Dissolve 1.25 g human serum albumin and 1.25 g bovine serum albumin in 25 ml saline solution respectively, shake well and set aside.
[0097] (3) Preparation of a composite solution of mitotane ethanol solution, human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) and aspartic acid: The optimal concentration of mitotane in physiological saline, human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L) and aspartic acid is 0.286 mg / ml, at which the solution has the best clarity.
[0098] At this time, the mass ratio of mitotane, saline, human / bovine serum albumin, and aspartic acid is 1:1000:125:2. At this optimal mass ratio, the optimal dosages of mitotane ethanol solution, saline, human / bovine serum albumin solution (50 g / L), and aspartic acid are: 1 mg, 1 ml, 2.5 ml, and 3 mg, as shown in Table 4:
[0099] Table 4
[0100] Mitotane ethanol solution Normal saline Human / bovine serum albumin solution (50g / L) Aspartic acid 1mg 1ml 2.5ml 3mg
[0101] (4) Freeze-drying: The composition obtained in step (4) was divided into 10 ml glass bottles and freeze-dried at -40°C to obtain freeze-dried powder, which was divided into 50 ml centrifuge tubes.
[0102] (5) Reconstitution: Take 0.3432 g of freeze-dried powder and add 10 ml of normal saline to reconstitute. The concentration of mitotane in the reconstituted solution is 0.286 mg / mL. The freeze-dried powder prepared by the above optimal ratio has the longest stability time of 21 days when reconstituted to 0.286 mg / ml.
[0103] The above experimental results show that when no amino acids are added, the freeze-dried powder prepared by using human / bovine serum albumin at the optimal ratio and optimal dosage is stable for 7 days when reconstituted to 0.286 mg / ml. After adding a certain amount of aspartic acid, when reconstituted to the above concentration, the stable time is 21 days, indicating that the solubility and stability of the mitotane solution are further improved after mixing human / bovine serum albumin with amino acids.
