Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, specifically relating to a hydroxysaffron yellow pigment A pharmaceutical composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Hydroxysafflor yellow A (hereinafter referred to as "hydroxyA" or "HSYA"), chemically named 2,5-dihydroxy-6-[(1E,2E)-1-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-enyl]-2-[(2R,3R,4S,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]-4-[(2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-3,4,5-trihydroxy-6-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl]cyclohex-4-en-1,3-dione, has the chemical formula C1. 27 H 32 O 16 It has a molecular weight of 612.5. Its structural formula is shown in Formula 1. It is a water-soluble compound with a monochalcone glycoside structure extracted and isolated from the traditional Chinese medicine safflower.

[0003] Formula 1

[0004] Hydroxysaffron yellow A is the main active ingredient of safflower, a traditional Chinese medicine. It is the most abundant and most effective monomer among safflower yellow pigments, and one of the few raw materials for Chinese medicine injections used clinically. Clinically, it is used to treat cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as myocardial ischemia, cerebral ischemia, coronary heart disease, and cerebral thrombosis, all administered intravenously. Safflower yellow for injection is currently the only marketed drug preparation with hydroxysaffron yellow A as the main active ingredient. Each 50 mg vial contains 42.5 mg of hydroxysaffron yellow A and is mainly used for stable exertional angina pectoris of grades I, II, and III caused by blood stasis.

[0005] The administration method for injectable safflower yellow pigment is intravenous infusion, with a single dose taking two hours, causing significant inconvenience to patients. Compared to intravenous infusion, oral administration offers better patient compliance and higher safety. However, due to factors such as poor permeability and easy degradation in the gastrointestinal environment, its oral absorption is extremely poor, with a bioavailability of only about 1%. Oral administration is difficult to apply in clinical practice, and there are currently no oral formulations of hydroxysafflower yellow pigment A on the market.

[0006] To improve the oral absorption of hydroxysaffron yellow A, Zhang Yajun et al. designed and prepared nano-flexible liposomes of hydroxysaffron yellow A, increasing its mucosal cumulative permeability to 1.65 times that of the raw drug. Liu Fuhe et al. combined hydroxysaffron yellow A with phospholipids and used a self-microemulsion drug delivery system to improve the drug's lipid solubility and in vivo absorption; in rats, the area under the drug-time curve (AUC0-t) was 2.93 times higher than that of the pure drug aqueous solution. Li et al. believed that lipid formulations of hydroxysaffron yellow A can significantly reduce its excretion in feces and bile, thereby improving its bioavailability. Furthermore, the addition of 0.02 mg / mL and 0.01 mg / mL of Ligusticum chuanxiong volatile oil was reported to effectively increase the apparent permeability of hydroxysaffron yellow A by 5.34 times and 4.62 times, respectively. The hydroxysaffron yellow A-chitosan complex was reported to have increased relative bioavailability by 4.76 times compared to the pure drug in a rat pharmacokinetic model. Patent (CN113768871A) uses glucose-choline chloride as a co-solvent, increasing the oral bioavailability of hydroxysafflower yellow A by 3.27 times in a rat model. Patent (CN111803651A) uses a composition of the absorption enhancer N-(8-[2-hydroxybenzoyl]-amino)octanoic acid sodium (SNAC) and polymer EPO to increase the oral absorption of the drug by 10.4 times. Patent (CN109044971A) provides a self-microemulsion technology to enhance the oral absorption of the drug. Patent (CN102188470A) uses a physical mixture of safflower phospholipids to enhance the oral absorption of safflower extract. However, the methods reported above have disadvantages such as complex preparation processes, low drug loading, or limited improvement in bioavailability. Patents (CN118178301A) and (CN103127009A) use a composition of an absorption enhancer and a mucosal adhesive for administration via the oral mucosa. However, the absorption rate of drugs through the oral mucosa is extremely rapid, making it impossible to achieve bioequivalence with intravenous infusion. Furthermore, compliance with sublingual administration is slightly lower than with direct oral administration. Patents (CN113995729A, CN102872002A, CN101181282A) utilize semi-solid and oily excipients to promote drug absorption, but this method offers limited improvement in apparent drug permeability, and semi-solid oily excipients are often prone to oxidation and water absorption, leading to stability issues.

[0007] Therefore, there is a significant clinical need and market prospect for an oral formulation of hydroxysaffron yellow pigment A with high bioavailability and sustained-release effect. Summary of the Invention

[0249] Example 1

[0250] This study used the Caco-2 model to determine the transport and permeability of HSYA at the cellular level. Caco-2 cell suspensions were seeded into the Apical (AP) ends of Transwell plates (Corning, Pole size 0.4 μm, membrane area 0.33 cm²) at a cell density of 1 × 10⁵ cells / cm². The medium was changed every two days post-seeding, and daily thereafter after two weeks. Monolayers of cells differentiated approximately 21 days post-seeding. Electroelectric resistance (TEER) was measured at three wells for each concentration on days 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 21 post-seeding to observe the dynamic formation of tight junctions in the cell monolayer.

[0251] After 21 days of cell culture, the culture medium was discarded, and HBSS was added and the cells were incubated at 37 °C. Cell wells with a TEER value greater than 700 Ω·cm² and good cell growth were selected. Cells were washed three times with HBSS to remove impurities from the cell monolayer surface. 200 μL of the test solution was added to the AP end, and 700 μL of blank HBSS was added to the Basolateral end (BL end) as the receiving pool. At 1, 2, 3, and 4 h, 150 μL of solution was aspirated from the receiving pool, and an equal volume of blank HBSS was immediately added. The samples were centrifuged at 20, 200 g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was used to determine the drug concentration.

[0252] The apparent permeability coefficient is calculated according to the following formula (1). value:

[0253]

[0254] Formula (1)

[0255] in, This is the initial concentration on the side where the drug is located (AP side). It is the rate of increase in drug concentration on the receiver side (BL side). For the volume of the BL side, This represents the area of ​​the Transwell membrane. The higher the value, the higher the drug penetration rate and the stronger the drug transport capacity.

[0256] The apparent permeability coefficients of the drugs in samples 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 were determined according to the above method. Values, results are shown below Figure 1 .

[0265] Six healthy male Wistar rats, weighing 250 ± 20 g, were randomly divided into two groups and fasted for 12 h. The two groups were administered the drug orally via gavage according to Examples 6 and 44, respectively, at a dose of 30 mg / kg. Blood samples were collected from the orbital venous plexus after anesthesia at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 min after drug administration. The plasma samples were processed, and the relative bioavailability was calculated by determining the blood drug concentration at different time points. The results are shown in […]. Figure 3 Table 2.

[0266] Table 2. Relative oral bioavailability of rats after oral gavage in Examples 6 and 44.

[0267]

[0268] Experimental results show that absorption enhancers can improve the bioavailability of hydroxysaffron yellow A. Furthermore, selecting appropriate absorption aids can further promote the absorption of hydroxysaffron yellow A in vivo. Absorption enhancers and absorption aids can exert a synergistic effect.

[0269] Example 4

[0270] A series of buffer solutions with pH values ​​of 1.3, 6.8, and 8.0 were prepared using a dilute hydrochloric acid and phosphate buffer system to simulate the slightly alkaline pH environment of gastric juice, intestinal juice, and intestinal juice, respectively. An appropriate amount of hydroxysaffron yellow A was dissolved in pure water to prepare a 10 mg / mL solution. 50 μL of this solution was added to 9.95 mL of each of the different pH buffer solutions and mixed thoroughly (50 μg / mL). The solutions were incubated at 37°C, and samples were taken at 0 h, 4 h, and 8 h. The pH of the samples was then adjusted to approximately 6.8 using either phosphoric acid or sodium hydroxide solution, and the drug concentration change over time was measured. The results are shown below. Figure 4 a, Table 3.

[0271] Besides pH, the abundant enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract may affect drug stability, thus limiting drug absorption into the bloodstream. Therefore, this invention further evaluated the effects of different digestive fluids on drug stability. The simulated gastric juice (pH=1.2) contained pepsin. The simulated intestinal juice (pH=6.8) was prepared by dissolving 6.8 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in 500 mL of water and then using 0.1 mol·L⁻¹... -1 Adjust the pH of the sodium hydroxide solution to 6.8; separately dissolve 10 g of pancreatic enzyme in an appropriate amount of water; mix the two solutions and dilute with water to 1 L for later use.

[0272] A suitable amount of hydroxysaffron yellow A was dissolved in water to prepare a 10 mg / mL solution. 50 μL of this solution was then dissolved in 9.95 mL of different simulated digestive fluids, with a target initial drug concentration of 50 μg / mL. Samples were taken at 37 ℃ at different time points (simulated gastric fluid: 0h, 2h, 4h; simulated intestinal fluid: 0h, 3h, 6h). The pH of the solutions was adjusted with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide solution to inactivate the enzymes in the gastric or intestinal fluids. After 5 min, the pH of the samples was adjusted to approximately 6.8, and the change in drug concentration over time was measured. Results are shown below. Figure 4 b, Table 3.

[0273] Table 3. Retention rate of hydroxysaffron yellow A in different media (%)

[0274]

[0275] In stability experiments in physiologically similar environments, it was found that HSYA was relatively stable in buffer solutions with intestinal-associated pH values ​​of 6.8 and 8.0, but unstable in an acidic environment with pH of 1.2, with a concentration decrease of about 18%. This indicates that the intestinal pH environment has little effect on hydroxyl A, while the acidic environment of the stomach will affect the stability of hydroxyl A.

[0276] Pepsin and trypsin were added to the above buffer solution to form simulated gastric and intestinal fluids, further investigating the effect of proteases on drug stability. Experimental results showed that HSYA was relatively stable in simulated intestinal fluid but less stable in simulated gastric fluid. In simulated gastric fluid, the drug concentration decreased by approximately 24% after 4 hours. In contrast, the concentration of HSYA decreased by approximately 13% after incubation at pH 1.2 for 4 hours. This indicates that pepsin in simulated gastric fluid can further degrade HSYA and affect its stability during oral administration, which is worthy of attention in the development of oral drug formulations. Therefore, in some embodiments and experimental examples of this invention, enteric-coated capsules are used to increase the stability of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract.

[0278] Hydroxysaffron Yellow A was administered orally and intravenously to beagle dogs. Drug-time curve determination was performed in Examples 20 and 30.

[0279] Eight healthy male beagles, weighing 10 kg each, were randomly divided into four groups. Before the experiment, the beagles were fasted for 12 hours but allowed free access to water. Hydroxysaffron yellow A was administered intravenously or orally via gavage, as described in Examples 1-20 and 1-30. The intravenous injection group received 3 mg / kg, while the oral group received 15 mg / kg. Approximately 1 mL of blood was collected from the forelimb vein before administration and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after administration, and placed in anticoagulant tubes. The tubes were centrifuged at 2,000 g (4°C) for 10 min, and the supernatant was stored at -70°C for subsequent analysis. One week later, a crossover was performed to ensure n=4. The absolute bioavailability of hydroxysaffron yellow A in the examples is shown in [examples omitted]. Figure 5 Table 4.

[0280] Experimental results showed that the absolute oral bioavailability of Examples 20 and 30 of the present invention in beagles reached 15.2% and 18.7%, respectively. Compared with direct oral administration of hydroxysaffron yellow A, the relative bioavailability of Examples 1-20 was 537.1%, and the peak plasma concentration C0 was [missing value]. max The concentration increased from 0.8 ± 0.2 ug / mL to 5.2 ± 1.6 ug / mL, indicating that the absorption enhancer effectively improved drug absorption in beagle dogs. The relative bioavailability of Example 30 was further improved to 662.9%, C max The concentration increased to 6.2±0.7ug / mL, indicating that in the beagle dog model, the absorption enhancer and enteric-coated capsules can also work synergistically with the absorption enhancer to further improve drug absorption in vivo.

One group was orally administered hydroxysaffron A aqueous solution, while the other groups were orally administered as described in Examples 48, 49, 50, and 51, respectively, at a dose of 30 mg / kg. Blood samples were collected from the orbital venous plexus after anesthesia at 0, 30, 60, 120, 240, 360, and 480 min after administration. The relative bioavailability was calculated by measuring the blood drug concentration at different time points after plasma sample processing.

[0286] The results are as follows Figure 6As shown, compared with the pure aqueous solution of hydroxysaffron yellow A, Examples 48, 49, 50, and 51 all significantly improved the relative oral bioavailability of the drug (results are shown in Table 5).

[0296] Hydroxysafflower yellow pigment A was administered intravenously to beagle dogs, and the drug-time curve was determined in Example 31 (orally).

[0297] Four healthy male beagles, each weighing 10 kg, were randomly divided into two groups. Before the experiment, the beagles were fasted for 12 hours but allowed free access to water. Hydroxysaffron dye A was administered intravenously, while the oral administration (Example 31) was administered orally. The intravenous infusion group received 3 mg / kg of the drug, and the oral administration group received 15 mg / kg. The intravenous infusion volume was 150 mL, and the infusion time was 2 hours. Approximately 1 mL of blood was collected from the forelimb vein before and at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours after drug administration and placed in anticoagulant tubes. The blood was centrifuged at 2,000 g (4°C) for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was stored at -70°C for subsequent analysis. One week later, a crossover was performed to make n=4. The experimental results are shown below. Figure 8 Table 7.

[0298] The results showed that the drug-time curves of intravenous infusion of hydroxysaffron yellow A and oral administration in Example 31 were similar, with T0 being the most significant difference. max Same, and C max T 1 / 2 AUC 0-t The pharmacokinetic parameters were similar, with confidence intervals less than 90%. This result suggests that, in a beagle dog model, the currently developed oral HSYA formulation and intravenous infusion are bioequivalent to a single dose in terms of pharmacokinetic curves. Based on the pharmacokinetic curves of the two administration methods, it is speculated that increasing the dosage by 5 times would result in oral administration achieving non-inferiority to intravenous infusion in terms of efficacy. The oral hydroxysaffron yellow A formulation of this invention has the potential to clinically replace hydroxysaffron yellow A injection.
