Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, specifically to an oral polypeptide preparation and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of biomedical technology, peptide drugs have shown broad prospects in the treatment of diabetes, tumors, and immune diseases due to their advantages such as high efficiency, high specificity, and low toxicity. However, peptide drugs generally suffer from bottlenecks such as large molecular weight, high sensitivity to intestinal enzymatic hydrolysis, and low transmembrane permeation efficiency, resulting in oral bioavailability generally below 1%. For example, even with the extensive use of sodium 8-(2-hydroxybenzamido)octanoate (SNAC) as a potent absorption enhancer, the bioavailability of semaglutide tablets is still only 0.4%-1%. Currently, clinical administration is still mainly by injection, which seriously affects patients' long-term medication adherence and may cause adverse events such as injection site reactions.
[0003] To improve the efficiency of oral delivery of peptides, researchers have explored various strategies, including nanocarriers, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers. However, these technologies still face challenges such as low drug loading, insufficient membrane permeability, and intestinal irritation. In recent years, ionic liquids (ILs) and eutectic solvents (DES) have attracted widespread attention due to their unique physicochemical properties: they possess near-zero volatility, high thermal stability, and strong designability, significantly improving drug solubility. Simultaneously, their ionization properties can disrupt the mucus layer structure and temporarily open tight junctions in epithelial cells, synergistically enhancing transmembrane drug transport. However, free ionic liquid formulations generally suffer from insufficient physical stability and rapid dissociation in gastric juice, necessitating the development of efficient solidification strategies to meet the demands of industrial production.
[0004] In the field of solidification of pharmaceutical preparations, adsorption methods have become an ideal choice due to their mild process and simple operation. Mesoporous silica, as a novel porous carrier material, possesses adjustable pore size distribution and a large specific surface area (>1000 m²). 2 With properties such as high per-g and flexible surface functionalization, its drug loading capacity can reach over 50% (w / w), far exceeding traditional carriers (such as microcrystalline cellulose and starch). By immobilizing drug-loaded ionic liquids in a mesoporous silica framework through adsorption technology, the inherent permeation-enhancing advantages of ionic liquids can be retained while avoiding their storage stability defects. At the same time, combined with enteric coating technology, precise delivery can be achieved, providing a new technological paradigm for constructing high-performance oral peptide delivery systems.
[0005] Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, exhibits significant long-acting hypoglycemic and weight-loss effects in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity. However, its polypeptide structure (molecular weight ≈ 4113 Da) presents several challenges for oral administration. Digestive enzymes such as pepsin, trypsin, and chymotrypsin in the gastrointestinal tract readily hydrolyze it, causing inactivation before it enters the circulatory system. Therefore, coating is necessary to protect semaglutide from rapid exposure to the enzymatic environment of gastrointestinal fluids. However, traditional particle coating processes (such as...) The process of pre-drying (using a series of methods) at high temperatures to remove solvents exacerbates the molecular denaturation or aggregation of semaglutide due to its sensitivity to moisture and heat, leading to a loss of biological activity. Furthermore, the release rate of coated particles in the small intestine is limited by the polymer dissolution rate, preventing efficient drug contact with absorption sites, and the uniformity of the particle coating is difficult to control, resulting in uneven drug release rates. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a delivery system that avoids enzymatic hydrolysis and high-temperature processing to improve the efficiency and stability of oral administration of semaglutide.

[0204] Example 1: Infrared Characterization of Ionic Liquids and Eutectic Solvents
[0205] Appropriate amounts of octanoic acid, citric acid, malic acid, sorbic acid, geranilic acid, hexanoic acid, bicarbonate choline, and the aforementioned prepared ILs ([Oc][Ch], [Ci][Ch], [Ma][Ch], [So][Ch], [Ge][Ch], and [Hex][Ch]) were taken respectively. The ATR accessory module was correctly placed into the detection optical path system of the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR), and an air background baseline scan was performed first. Subsequently, the sample to be tested was precisely attached to the optical contact interface of the ATR prism, and appropriate pressure was applied to ensure that the sample and the crystal surface formed effective optical contact. Finally, the characteristic infrared absorption spectrum data of the surface molecules of the sample were acquired. The infrared characterization results are shown in […]. Figure 1 .
[0206] contrast Figure 1 Infrared spectra of various organic acids and bicarbonate choline revealed that after the formation of ionic bonds, the characteristic peaks of each functional group on the choline fragment did not change significantly; however, the C=O stretching vibration signal of the carboxyl group in the acid underwent a red shift to varying degrees due to the formation of carboxylate ions, indicating that the ionic liquid was successfully synthesized.
[0207] The characteristic infrared absorption spectra of fructose, caprylic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and the fructose-caprylic acid eutectic solvent, fructose-citric acid eutectic solvent, and fructose-malic acid eutectic solvent prepared above were obtained using the same method described above.

Figure 9 Eutectic solvent at 3600-3650 cm⁻¹ -1 The -OH stretching vibration peak in the region shifted significantly to lower wavenumbers (redshift phenomenon), and the absorption peak broadened significantly and redshifted. The stretching vibration absorption peak of the carbonyl group (C=O) also redshifted, indicating that the eutectic solvent was successfully synthesized.
[0208] Example 2: Pharmacokinetic Study of Smegglutide Enteric-coated Capsules in Different Ionic Liquids
[0209] Type II diabetic C57 mice were randomly divided into four groups of seven mice each. Each group was administered the experimental formulation and a control formulation: Cap-OCP group (Enteric-coated capsules, Example 6), Cap-SCP group (Enteric-coated capsules, Example 9), Cap-GCP group (Enteric-coated capsules, Example 10), and the original drug tablet group (Rybelsus, original smegglutide tablets) for comparison. Both the experimental and control formulations were administered orally at a dose of 2 mg / kg. Mice were fasted for 12 hours before the experiment. Blood was collected from the tail tip of the mice after administration, and blood drug concentrations were detected by HPLC-MS / MS. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.
[0210] The results showed that various ionic liquids had a certain absorption-promoting effect on smegglutide. The Cap-OCP group and the Cap-SCP group could significantly promote the oral absorption of smegglutide, and the bioavailability of the Cap-OCP group was higher than that of the Cap-SCP group. The Cap-GCP group also showed an improvement compared with the original tablet group.
[0211] Example 3: Pharmacokinetic Comparison of Smegglutide Enteric-coated Capsules and Enteric-coated Capsules Based on Ionic Liquids
[0212] SD rats weighing approximately 250g were acclimatized for one week and then randomly divided into two groups of seven rats each. Each group was administered either an enteric-coated capsule formulation or an enteric-coated microparticle formulation: the enteric-coated capsule group (Cap-OCP group, Example 6, enteric-coated capsules) and the enteric-coated microparticle group (Comparative Example 1, enteric-coated microparticle capsules) for comparison. All cases were administered orally at a dose of 2 mg / kg using a rat capsule applicator. Rats were fasted for 12 hours before the experiment. Blood was collected from the tail tip of the rats after administration, and blood concentrations were detected by HPLC-MS / MS. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 3 As shown.
[0213] The results showed that the absorption of enteric-coated capsules was significantly higher than that of enteric-coated microparticle capsules.
[0214] Experimental Example 4: Comparison of in vitro dissolution of ionic liquid-based smegglutide enteric-coated capsules and enteric-coated microparticle capsules
[0215] 500 mL of dissolution medium was placed in each dissolution vessel, and the temperature was set to 37°C. After reaching the temperature, the enteric-coated capsules of Example 6 (Cap-OCP group) and the enteric-coated microparticle capsules of Comparative Example 1 (EC group) were placed into the dissolution apparatus containers to investigate the dissolution effect in hydrochloric acid (pH 1.2, containing 0.1% SDS) and phosphate buffer (pH 6.8, containing 0.1% SDS). The rotation speed was set to 75 rpm. Sampling points were set at 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min, 45 min, 60 min, and 100 min, with a sampling volume of 1 mL. After sampling, the samples were filtered through a 0.22 μm membrane filter (PES) and directly injected. The concentration was determined by HPLC. Dissolution curves were plotted under different pH media.
[0216] like Figure 4 As shown, the enteric-coated capsules in Example 6 can protect the drug from almost any release in a medium environment of pH 1.2, providing better protection for semaglutide. In contrast, the enteric-coated microparticle capsules in Comparative Example 1 release the drug rapidly, with approximately 13% of the drug released into the medium within 10 minutes and more than 15% released within 100 minutes. Figure 5As shown, in an environment of pH 6.8, the enteric-coated capsules of Example 6 released more quickly in the intestines and the smegglutinin was better absorbed than the enteric-coated microparticle capsules of Comparative Example 1.
[0217] Experimental Example 5: Pharmacodynamic Results of Smegglutide-Coated Granules with Different Ionic Liquids After Oral Administration
[0218] Type II diabetic C57 mice were randomly divided into four groups of seven mice each, including oral formulations, blank carriers, and injectable formulations. The oral formulations were caprylic acid choline group (EOCP, coated granules from Example 7), sorbate choline group (ESCP, coated granules from Example 10), sorbate choline ionic liquid blank carrier group (Blank ESCP, oral), and subcutaneous injection group (semaglutide injection, sc). The dosage of the oral formulations was 2 mg / kg, and the dosage of the injectable groups was 0.2 mg / kg. Mice were fasted for 12 hours before the experiment. Blood was collected from the tail tip of mice before administration and at 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h, 8 h, 12 h, and 24 h after administration. The first drop was discarded, and the second drop was used to measure blood glucose levels using a glucometer. A curve was plotted with time on the x-axis and the ratio of real-time blood glucose to initial blood glucose on the y-axis.
[0219] according to Figure 6 The absorption-promoting effects of different solvents vary significantly, with EOCP showing a more pronounced effect than ESCP.
[0220] Experimental Example 6: Comparison of the stability of different ionic liquids
[0221] Smegglutide was dissolved in citrate choline ([Ci][Ch]), sorbate choline ([So][Ch]), malate choline ([Ma][Ch]), caprylate choline ([Oc][Ch]), and hexanoate choline ([Hex][Ch]), and its stability was determined at 4°C and room temperature. The mass ratio of citrate choline, sorbate choline, malate choline, caprylate choline, and hexanoate choline to smegglutide was 20:1. Furthermore, after dissolving smegglutide in the above ionic liquids, it was adsorbed onto silica (Parteck SLC 500) and left for 21 days (60% silica content). Its stability was then determined at 4°C and room temperature. The results are as follows. Figure 7 As shown in the figure. According to stability test results, smegglutinin is extremely unstable in sorbate choline, but very stable in caprylic acid and hexanoic acid choline, making it more suitable for use as a peptide absorption enhancer.

Both formulations were administered orally at a dose of 2 mg / kg using a rat capsule applicator.
[0224] Mice were fasted for 12 hours before the experiment. Blood was collected from the tail tip of mice after drug administration, and the blood drug concentration was detected by HPLC-MS / MS. The experimental results are as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0225] Pharmacokinetic results show that eutectic solvents have excellent absorption-enhancing effects.
