Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a tirzepatide long-acting liquid injection and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 / GIP dual receptor agonist, which is mainly used for treating type 2 diabetes, obesity and diabetes-related cognitive impairment and the like, has the core advantages of single weekly administration, significant hypoglycemic weight loss, and positive effects on visceral fat, triglyceride and the like metabolic indicators. The tirzepatide molecule is a polypeptide composed of 39 amino acids, which is easy to degrade and difficult to avoid the first pass effect of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, the currently used dosage form is mainly a once-weekly subcutaneous injection (pre-filled injection pen form), which can be directly administered by the patient (self-administration). Weekly injection is easy to cause pain and inflammatory reaction at the injection site, and the early burst and blood drug fluctuation caused by weekly administration can cause adverse reactions such as nausea and vomiting.
[0003] Long-acting sustained-release technology can be used to overcome these shortcomings, such as microsphere preparations, which can embed pharmacologically active substances in degradable polymer microspheres. When subcutaneously or intramuscularly injected, the drug is released from the microspheres through the slow degradation of the polymer (such as PLGA), so as to achieve uniform drug release for one month or more. However, the microsphere preparation needs to be configured into a suspension for administration, which is complicated to prepare before administration and needs to be prepared and injected by a professional doctor, thereby reducing the accessibility of the drug. In addition, the microsphere preparation cannot be removed after injection, and cannot be interrupted at any time according to the needs of the patient.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a ready-to-use long-acting tirzepatide liquid preparation with excellent sustained-release effect. SUMMARY
[0005] The injection provided by the application does not need to be mixed before injection, can be directly injected into the body to form an in-situ gel drug depot, and can maintain a long sustained-release time and a low burst level of the drug. Specifically, the application includes the following contents.

[0015] In a third aspect, the present application provides use of the long-acting liquid injection of telpeptide according to the first aspect of the present application in the preparation of a drug for improving or treating diabetes, obesity, or a related disease.
[0016] The present application is directed to the problem of the burst release of organic solvents when preparing gels for biodegradable polymers as diluents, by designing the structure of the tipepitide so that it forms a complex with inorganic salts, thereby controlling the burst release of tipepitide in the injection solution, and thus prolonging the drug release time and action time, and reducing the number of doses and side effects. Compared with other non-in situ gel sustained-release systems (such as microsphere systems), the present application has the advantages of simple administration and good needle passability. In addition, the drug depot formed by the present application can be removed at any time by simple surgery, and has the advantage of being able to interrupt administration at any time, and can cope with the possible nausea, diarrhea and other gastrointestinal reactions and other side effects of tipepitide.

[0040] Table 1. Composition of the long-acting liquid injection solutions in Examples 1-3 Comparative Example 1 The following shows the preparation method of telpoeptide sustained-release microspheres.
[0041] Telpoeptide acetate and biodegradable polymer PLGA5050 (Mw=39 kDa) were dissolved in dichloromethane, an organic solvent, at a ratio of 20% of the theoretical drug loading to obtain an oil phase. A 0.5 wt% polyvinyl alcohol solution was used as the external aqueous phase for homogenization and emulsification. The resulting oil-in-water emulsion was further solidified into microspheres by stirring at 600 rpm. The solidified microspheres were repeatedly washed with pure water to remove residual polyvinyl alcohol, and then lyophilized to obtain Telpoeptide microspheres (drug loading of 11%).
[0042] Comparative Example 2 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpopritine injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that ethyl acetate is used as the organic solvent in this comparative example.
[0043] Comparative Example 3 The only difference between the preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection and that of Example 1 is that benzyl alcohol is used as the organic solvent in this comparative example.
[0044] Comparative Example 4 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that this comparative example uses telpolide acetate (Hangzhou Gutuo Biotechnology Co., Ltd., GT-L007) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
[0045] Comparative Example 5 The only difference between the preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection and that of Example 1 is that this comparative example uses acetate-free telpolide (Harbin Jixianglong Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) as the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
[0046] Comparative Example 6 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that the biodegradable polymer used in this comparative example is PLGA8515 (Mw=42 kDa).
[0047] Comparative Example 7 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that the biodegradable polymer used in this comparative example is PLGA5050 (Mw=13kDa).
[0048] Comparative Example 8 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that the amount of organic solvent DMSO is reduced to 120 mg.
[0049] Comparative Example 9 The preparation process of this comparative telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that the amount of organic solvent DMSO is increased to 285 mg.
[0050] Comparative Example 10 The preparation process of this comparative example of telpolide injection differs from that of Example 1 only in that the organic solvent is NMP.
[0051] Test case 1. Viscosity and in vitro release tests Viscosity testing method: The viscosity of the sustained-release gel injection was measured using a cone-plate rheometer at 25°C and a shear rate of 0.3 rpm. In vitro release testing method: The gel injection obtained by mixing the sterile-filtered sustained-release solution and the sterile-filtered lyophilized active pharmaceutical ingredient according to the aforementioned steps was injected into sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Release conditions were a 37°C constant temperature water bath, pH 7.4, and a shaking speed of 180 rpm. The PBS solution was replaced every two days, and the concentration of telpolide in the solution was measured at specified time points. The in vitro release method for the sterile microsphere injection was the same as above.
[0052] Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 7, 9, and 10 all yielded telpolide injection solutions that were colorless, transparent liquids with good flowability, which could be injected using a 24G needle. Comparative Examples 4 and 8 yielded long-acting injection solutions with poor flowability, requiring the use of a 22G needle. The long-acting injection solutions in these examples formed a gel-like solid upon injection into pH 7.4 phosphate buffer (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown).
[0053] Viscosity and in vitro release tests were performed on the products provided in the examples and comparative examples, and the results are shown in Table 2.
[0054] Table 2 Viscosity and in vitro release data for the examples and comparative examples Test results show that the long-acting liquid injection of telpolide in Examples 1-3, when injected into in vitro pH 7.4 phosphate buffer, can achieve slow release of the drug at different doses over 28 days, effectively prolonging the duration of drug action.
[0055] Table 2 shows that in Comparative Example 7, the biodegradable polymer PLGA5050 with a weight-average molecular weight of 13 kDa was used, and the cumulative release of the resulting injection solution exceeded 15% in one day, indicating a high initial release rate. In Comparative Example 8, the amount of organic solvent was too low, and the active pharmaceutical ingredient could not be completely dissolved, resulting in particulate dispersion. During the release test, needle clogging occurred, and a 22G needle had to be used for injection. The overall release was also slow. Comparative Example 9 used a higher content of organic solvent, showing an excessively high burst release and an excessively rapid initial release. Comparative Example 10 replaced the organic solvent DMSO with NMP, and similarly showed an increased burst release compared to Examples 1-3, with an excessively rapid initial release.
[0056] Table 2 shows that the microspheres provided in Comparative Example 1 had an excessively high in vitro burst release, posing safety and tolerability risks. The in-situ gel prepared in Comparative Example 2 had an excessively high burst release, reaching 33% on the first day. The in-situ gel prepared in Comparative Example 3 had a slow release, insufficient initial efficacy, and only 1% release on the first day. Comparative Example 4 changed the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) salt form to acetate form, showing that the API could not dissolve, causing needle clogging problems during release testing. A 22G needle was required for injection. The prepared in-situ gel showed a significant burst release, reaching 23% on the first day. Although the burst release of the in-situ gel prepared in Comparative Example 5 was lower than that of Comparative Example 4, it was still significantly higher than that of Examples 1-3, reaching 8% on the first day. Comparative Example 6 used a biodegradable polymer PLGA8515 with a weight-average molecular weight of 42 kDa and an LA:GA ratio of 85:15. The resulting sustained-release solution had a high viscosity. Although the initial release was similar to that of Example 1, the drug release was slow in the later stages, with a cumulative release of only 44% after 28 days.
[0057] 2. Assessment of removability within the injected fluid Test samples: Example 1 long-acting injection and comparative microsphere injection.
[0058] Sprague-Dawley rats (SPF grade), adult males weighing 250-300 g and aged 8-10 weeks, were selected. 0.5 mL of the long-acting injectable formulation from Example 1 and the microsphere suspension from Comparative Example 1 were subcutaneously injected into the scapular region of the rats' backs. Three parallel samples were taken from each group, and the average value was calculated. The implants were removed from the original injection site at different time points, and their length and width were measured. The results showed that the long-acting injectable formulation from Example 1 formed a gel with a complete skeletal structure in vivo and could be completely removed surgically. In contrast, the microsphere suspension from the comparative example remained dispersed in the skin tissue during this period and could not be removed individually. The gel solid formed by the long-acting injection in vivo had a length of 1.33 and a width of 1.06 at 0.25 days (6 hours), degraded to a length of 0.77 and a width of 0.63 by day 7, and was almost completely degraded by day 28. The remaining body measured a length of 0.18 and a width of 0.17, demonstrating that the long-acting liquid injection of telpolide has good surgical removability and biodegradability in vivo.
