Delayed timed release pharmaceutical composition and preparation method and application thereof
[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2022115525632, filed on December 5, 2022. This application incorporates the entirety of the aforementioned Chinese patent application. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of biopharmaceuticals, and in particular to a delayed timed release pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0003] Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Dopamine, a substance naturally present in the brain and spinal cord, helps nerve cells in the brain properly control motor function. As dopamine levels in the brain decrease, symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), such as muscle stiffness, slowed movements, and difficulty maintaining balance, emerge. Dopamine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which is why oral dosage forms are ineffective. Levodopa, a dopamine precursor, can cross the BBB and be converted into dopamine in brain tissue. Levodopa therapy is the "gold standard" treatment for Parkinson's disease, and almost all PD patients must receive levodopa at some stage of the disease. However, most levodopa is decarboxylated into dopamine before reaching the brain. Therefore, levodopa is often co-administered with a decarboxylase inhibitor such as carbidopa or benserazide to prevent peripheral dopamine formation, increase brain dopamine levels, and alleviate adverse reactions caused by peripheral decarboxylation of levodopa.

[0025] As shown in references 5-11, as Parkinson's disease progresses, patients experience severe morning stiffness in the early morning due to insufficient dopamine storage at night. Morning stiffness is the most common and earliest motor complication in PD patients, occurring in approximately 60% of PD patients receiving dopamine treatment, especially those with mid-to-late stage Parkinson's disease, i.e., those with a Hoehn-Yahr grade of 2.5-3. The occurrence of morning stiffness seriously affects PD patients' daily activities, such as getting up, dressing, going to the toilet, washing, and taking medication. Morning stiffness is also associated with postprandial abdominal distension, abdominal discomfort, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and malnutrition, as well as gastrointestinal dysfunction, manifested as dry mouth, drooling, dysphagia, esophageal motility disorders, gastroesophageal reflux, gastroparesis, constipation, and defecation disorders. These symptoms significantly affect the quality of life of PD patients.
[0026] As reported in Reference 12, gastroparesis can delay the delivery of levodopa to the duodenum, leading to the clinical phenomenon of delayed onset of action (ON) after levodopa administration. Therefore, we can infer that the lack of levodopa blood concentrations at night leads to decreased and insufficient dopaminergic function, which in turn causes morning stiffness and other related symptoms, such as gastroparesis. Gastroparesis, in turn, delays the absorption and onset of levodopa taken in the morning, creating a vicious cycle. Reference 13 shows that other Parkinson's medications, such as dopamine agonists (pramipexole, rotigotine, ropinirole), anticholinergics (amantadine), monoamine oxidase inhibitors (selegiline, rasagiline, safinamide), and COMT inhibitors (tolcapone, entacapone), can also cause gastrointestinal dysfunction.
[0027] Current treatment options for morning stiffness rely on rapidly achieving an effective levodopa blood concentration in the early morning to alleviate symptoms. However, due to pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic factors such as gastric emptying time, levodopa absorption limited to the upper gastrointestinal tract, and competition with amino acids across the blood-brain barrier, existing conventional levodopa formulations are inadequate for treating morning stiffness in Parkinson's disease (PD) due to their short half-life, irregular gastrointestinal absorption, and competitive blood-brain barrier crossing.
[0028] As shown in references 14-15, subcutaneous apomorphine preparations Launched in the United States in 2004, it is used for the emergency, intermittent treatment of OFF episodes in Parkinson's patients. It has some effect on morning stiffness, but because morning stiffness impairs motor function, it can be difficult for patients to self-administer the drug. The onset of action is 30-60 minutes after administration, severely impacting patients' ability to care for themselves. Furthermore, a common side effect of subcutaneous injection is the development of nodules, which often become infected, necessitating antibiotic treatment or surgical debridement. Apomorphine can cause vomiting, so an antiemetic is routinely administered before administration.
[0029] The following document 16 shows that apomorphine sublingual film It was recently launched in the US in May 2020 and is also used for the emergency, intermittent treatment of OFF episodes in Parkinson's patients. It has a high incidence of adverse reactions, including nausea, oropharyngeal soft tissue edema, pain, and paralysis.
[0030] As shown in references 17-18, rotigotine transdermal patch Launched in the US in 2007 and in China in 2018, rotigotine transdermal patches, a dopamine receptor agonist, are somewhat effective in relieving morning stiffness and improving sleep. However, adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, and skin allergies limit their use.
[0031] As shown in literature 19-20, levodopa inhalation It was launched in the United States in 2018 and approved by the FDA for emergency treatment of OFF attacks. However, because it requires the use of a special device for oral inhalation, self-administration is also difficult, and its bioavailability is low. According to the instructions, its Cmax is only 50% of that of the oral immediate-release preparation. The incidence of adverse respiratory reactions is as high as 35%, and because it has the risk of inducing bronchospasm, it is contraindicated in patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or chronic lung disease.
[0032] Theoretically, patients need a higher concentration of levodopa before getting up, which can reduce the occurrence of morning stiffness symptoms. Under existing conditions, if the patient takes a regular levodopa preparation (such as ), not only can the effective blood drug concentration not be maintained until the patient wakes up in the morning, but also the high concentration of levodopa produced by rapid release has a certain excitatory effect, which may affect the patient's sleep.
[0033] Administering levodopa before bedtime may affect sleep onset, but providing a certain concentration of levodopa after sleep can relieve muscle tension and stiffness, potentially helping to improve sleep quality. Therefore, a delayed-release controlled-release formulation is needed to ensure effective levodopa blood concentrations upon awakening, reduce morning stiffness symptoms, and improve night stiffness, thereby improving sleep quality. Although continuous levodopa duodenal infusion (DUODOPA / DUOPA), as reported in Reference 21, has shown some therapeutic effect on morning stiffness, continuous infusion of levodopa hydrogel for 2-4 months significantly reduces the PDSS-2 (PD-Sleep-Scale-version-2) total score and subscores for "sleep disturbances," "nocturnal motor symptoms," and "nocturnal PD symptoms," and also improves the ESS (Epworth Sleeping-Scale) for daytime sleepiness. Furthermore, this treatment is highly invasive, requiring surgery to pump continuous infusion directly into the upper small intestine through a tube. Furthermore, the treatment is expensive and is therefore not suitable for a wide range of patients. Currently, the drug is only used for administration during the 16 hours of the day and not at night.
[0034] Therefore, the most ideal treatment option for patients is still non-invasive therapy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a non-invasive, delayed, timed-release controlled-release product that can provide PD patients with effective levodopa blood concentrations in the morning to alleviate morning stiffness, allowing patients to wake up in the "ON" state rather than the "OFF" state.
[0035] Summary of the Invention
