Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology. More specifically, the present invention relates to an externally applied fast-dissolving film containing ruxolitinib, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ruxolitinib ((R)-3-cyclopentyl-3-[4-(7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]propanenitrile, the structural formula is as Figure 1 shown) was initially an oral drug for the treatment of myelofibrosis. It is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, that is, a small molecule inhibitor of protein kinases JAK1 and JAK2, and is suitable for the treatment of intermediate or high-risk myelofibrosis (primary myelofibrosis, PMF), including primary myelofibrosis, myelofibrosis secondary to polycythemia vera (PPV-MF), and myelofibrosis secondary to primary thrombocytosis (PET-MF).

[0003] In September 2021, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Incyte Corporation's ruxolitinib cream (trade name Opzelura) for the treatment of moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) and non-segmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older. It is the first and only topically applied JAK inhibitor approved by the FDA.

[0004] Patent No. CN103002875B discloses a cream formed from an oil-in-water emulsion containing ruxolitinib or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Patent No. CN115702936A prepared a gel containing ruxolitinib. However, for creams and gels, the penetration rate of the active ingredient is not high enough. Making ruxolitinib into a film may improve its penetration efficiency. However, there is currently no relevant report on externally applied fast-dissolving film products of ruxolitinib. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an externally applied fast-dissolving film containing ruxolitinib, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. The present invention uses ruxolitinib phosphate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a film-forming agent to prepare an externally applied fast-dissolving film, which has the advantages of high drug loading, fast dissolution rate, and high penetration rate.

[0006] The technical solutions for achieving the above invention purposes are as follows.

[0007] In the first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a topical fast-dissolving film containing ruxolitinib, the raw materials of which include ruxolitinib phosphate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and a film-forming agent in a weight ratio of 1:5 to 20, and the film-forming agent is polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA).

[0008] In the second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for preparing the above-mentioned topical fast-dissolving film containing ruxolitinib, which includes the following steps: dissolving the film-forming agent in a first solvent to prepare solution A; dissolving ruxolitinib phosphate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a second solvent to prepare solution B; adding solution B to solution A to prepare solution C; and performing electrospinning on solution C to obtain the film.

[0009] In the third aspect of the present invention, there is provided the use of the above-mentioned topical fast-dissolving film containing ruxolitinib in the treatment of atopic dermatitis or non-segmental vitiligo.

[0010] The present invention adopts the electrospinning technology, and combines a specific film-forming agent with ruxolitinib phosphate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in a certain proportion to successfully prepare a topical fast-dissolving film. The drug is dispersed in the topical fast-dissolving film in an amorphous form, solving the problem of poor water solubility of ruxolitinib. The topical fast-dissolving film of the present invention has the advantages of high drug loading (the maximum drug loading can be 16%), fast dissolution rate, high cumulative drug release amount, and high penetration rate.

[0011] The topical fast-dissolving film of the present invention dissolves rapidly in water, has good flexibility, good adhesion to the skin, and is not easy to stain clothes. Compared with cream agents or other topical dosage forms, it has better compliance.

[0012] The topical fast-dissolving film of the present invention is convenient to use. It only needs to be attached to the skin and gently patted with a small amount of water to completely dissolve, or the sweat secreted by the skin can also quickly dissolve the film. As the water evaporates, the dissolved drug is always in a supersaturated state, which can make the active ingredient penetrate into the skin in a short time, increasing the transdermal rate. At the same time, according to the size and shape of the skin lesion, the required size and shape can be cut out, ensuring the uniformity of drug administration. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0109] Test Example Performance of the External Soluble Film Containing Ruxolitinib

[0110] 1. Microscopic Observation

[0111] According to the first method of 0982 in the fourth part of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition, the external soluble films prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 were magnified 200 times and 500 times respectively for microscopic observation. The results are as Figures 2 to 5 shown. Under microscopic observation, the filaments in the external soluble film are dense and uniform.

[0112] 2. Physical Property Characterization

[0113] The thickness of the external soluble films prepared in Example 1, Example 2, Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3 was measured by a thickness gauge. The results are shown in Table 1. The thickness of the external soluble films prepared with different film-forming agents is above 10 μm.

[0114]

[0115] The external soluble film prepared in Example 2 was subjected to X-ray powder diffraction (the spectrum is as Figure 6 shown) and Raman scanning (the spectrum is as Figure 7 shown). It can be seen from Figures 6 to 7 that in the external soluble film containing ruxolitinib prepared by the present invention, the drug component ruxolitinib is amorphous.

[0116] 3. Dissolution Curve

[0117] Using the second method of 0931 in the fourth part of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition, the dissolution of the external soluble films prepared in Example 1 to Example 2, Comparative Example 1 to Comparative Example 3 was detected. The results are as Figure 8 shown. The results show that compared with ruxolitinib phosphate (API), the dissolution rate of the external soluble film prepared by electrospinning using polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a film-forming agent is significantly improved. However, for the external soluble film prepared by electrospinning using hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) etc. as a film-forming agent, the dissolution rate is not improved much.

[0118] 4. In Vitro Release Rate

[0119] Using the Franz diffusion cell method, the in vitro release of the fast-dissolving topical films prepared in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was detected, and the cumulative release was compared with that of ruxolitinib cream (commercially available, with the same content of active ingredient in the sample loading). The in vitro release profiles are shown respectively as Figure 9 follows. The results showed that the cumulative release of the fast-dissolving topical films in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was significantly increased compared with the commercially available ruxolitinib cream, and the release rate was significantly accelerated. At the same time, the release rate of the fast-dissolving topical films prepared by electrospinning using polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the film-forming agent was also significantly faster than that of the fast-dissolving topical films prepared by electrospinning using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and / or polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as the film-forming agent.

[0120] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0121] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
