Abstract
Description
[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0002] This application claims the benefit of Chinese patent application CN202410445505.2 filed on April 12, 2024; the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and specifically relates to a phosphate preparation of (azetidin-1-yl)(8-(2,6-dimethylbenzylamino)-2,3-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)methanone, a preparation method thereof, and uses thereof. Background Art
[0004] Gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases or gastric acid-related diseases such as peptic ulcer, gastric / duodenal ulcer, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) are the most common digestive system diseases. In order to solve the problems of traditional proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), in recent proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), H + / K + Interest in and demand for potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs) is increasing. These drugs inhibit acid secretion by reversibly binding to the binding site, thereby inhibiting potassium competition. Unlike irreversible proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), reversible proton pump inhibitors (P-CABs) have a rapid onset of action and are convenient to take with or without meals, potentially leading to improved efficacy.
[0005] Chinese patent CN109415362B discloses (azetidin-1-yl)(8-(2,6-dimethylbenzylamino)-2,3-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-6-yl)methanone (Zastaprazan, a compound represented by formula (I)). This is an innovative potassium ion competitive acid blocker (P-CAB) independently developed by Korea First Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It has gastric acid secretion inhibitory activity and can be effectively used to prevent or treat gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases or gastric acid-related diseases. Phase III clinical trials for erosive esophagitis are currently underway in South Korea. Existing data show that Zastaprazan has the advantages of rapid onset of action, excellent and long-lasting acid suppression, and few adverse reactions. In the future, it may be expanded to the treatment of duodenal ulcers, Helicobacter pylori infection, and non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease.
[0006]
[0007] However, the solubility of the free base of Zastaprazan is low, which is not conducive to subsequent drug development. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new pharmaceutical salts of Zastaprazan or their preparations to solve the problem of low solubility. Summary of the Invention
[0008] Different salts of active pharmaceutical ingredients may exhibit distinct properties. These salts can significantly vary in appearance, solubility, melting point, dissolution rate, and bioavailability, and can also have varying effects on drug stability, safety, bioavailability, and efficacy. Therefore, comprehensive consideration of the salt form of a drug is crucial during drug development.
[0009] During the research process, the inventors found that the free base of the compound represented by formula (I) and its citrate salt have extremely low solubility, which is not conducive to subsequent drug development, and the citrate salt of the compound represented by formula (I) will change color under light conditions.
[0010] In view of this, the object of the present disclosure is to provide a pharmaceutical preparation of the phosphate salt of the compound represented by formula (I) (Zastaprazan) with good solubility and capable of meeting clinical needs.

Determine the irritation level according to Table 3. Combine visual and histopathological observations to comprehensively evaluate the irritation of the test article to the rabbit's blood vessels and surrounding tissues.

[0210]
[0211]
[0212] 2.1. Irritation of phosphate salts of compounds of formula (I) containing cyclodextrin
[0213] The inventors have found through experimental studies that direct injection of the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) causes mild to severe irritation, and the inventors intend to improve the irritation by means of a formulation.
[0214] Experimental design
[0215] The settings of test samples 1-3 are shown in Table 4 below. Among them, test sample 1 was prepared using the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) with glucose injection, test sample 2 was derived from the lyophilized powder prepared in Example 8, and test sample 3 was derived from the lyophilized powder prepared in Example 7, which was obtained by dissolving the lyophilized powder in water for injection.
[0216] Table 4
[0217]
[0218] Experimental methods
[0219] This study consisted of three groups, designated Test Article Groups 1-3. This study used a bolus injection into the auricular vein for 7 days (1 mL / ear), followed by a 14-day recovery period. During this period, the irritation of the test article on blood vessels and surrounding tissues was observed. Daily irritation scores were recorded according to the Vascular Irritation Response Scoring Criteria in Table 2, and the intensity of irritation was determined according to Table 3.
[0220] Table 5 Dosage regimen
[0221]
[0222]
[0223] Experimental results
[0224] Daily rating results can be found at Figure 1 Unexpectedly, based on the daily average score results, test sample 1 scored an average of 1.6, indicating irritation. Test samples 2 (average score 0.3) and 3 (average score 0) were non-irritating. The results showed that the irritation of test sample group 2, which contained the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) encapsulated in cyclodextrin, was significantly lower than that of test sample group 1, which contained the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) alone. This shows that the irritation of the preparation prepared from the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) and cyclodextrin to blood vessels was significantly reduced. If the pH of the injection was adjusted to 3.5 (test sample group 3), the irritation was further reduced.
[0225] Experimental Example 3 Solubility of the Phosphate-containing Cyclodextrin Formulation of the Compound of Formula (I)
[0226] The inventors also found in experimental studies that the solubility of the phosphate salt of the compound of formula (I) decreases when the pH is increased to above 3.5 (by adding a pH adjuster). Based on this, the solubility of the phosphate salt after inclusion in cyclodextrin was further measured at pH 3.5-4.
[0227] Referring to the method in Example 3, formulations containing different types of cyclodextrins were prepared at a phosphate concentration of 5 mg / mL of the compound of formula (I) and a pH of 3.5 and 4.0, respectively. The solutions were observed for different periods of time to observe whether solid precipitation occurred. The solubility of the API in the formulations at pH 3.5 and 4.0 was tested. The experimental results are shown in Table 6.
[0228] It can be seen from the experimental results in Table 6 that the exemplary freeze-dried powders prepared in the present invention have good solubility in water.
[0229] Table 6
[0230]
[0231] Experimental Example 4 Stability of the Phosphate-containing Cyclodextrin Injection of the Compound of Formula (I)
[0232] At a cyclodextrin concentration of 25% (w / v), lyophilized powders prepared from SBE-β-CD (from Example 18), HP-β-CD (from Example 17), ME-β-CD (from Example 9), and HP-γ-CD cyclodextrin (from Example 10) were all soluble in water. Samples of these dissolved samples were stored at 60°C for 10 days, and the content was measured, and the change in content before and after storage was calculated.
[0233] From the experimental results in Table 7, it can be seen that the injection (lyophilized powder injection) prepared by SBE-β-CD and the injection (lyophilized powder injection) prepared by HP-β-CD have good stability; the injection (lyophilized powder injection) prepared by ME-β-CD and the injection (lyophilized powder injection) prepared by HP-γ-CD have poor stability.
[0234] Table 7 Changes in API content in preparations containing different cyclodextrins during the observation period
[0235]
[0236] Note: Content change = 0d content - 60℃ / 10d content.
[0237] The 0d content is the API content on day 0 (calculated as the content of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula (I)); the 60°C / 10d content is the API content after being placed at 60°C for 10 days.
