DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0045] (Detailed Description) Mucosal surfaces, such as the oral mucosa, are highly vascularized and permeable, allowing the passage of blood through the digestive system. Increased bioavailability because it does not require first-pass metabolism. Mucosal surfaces are an important hub for drug delivery to the body due to the fact that they provide a rapid onset of action and a high level of potency. In particular, the buccal and sublingual tissues are convenient routes for the administration of This is the area that allows diffusion of drugs from the oral mucosa so that they have direct access to the systemic circulation. These tissues provide advantageous sites for drug delivery because they allow It provides increased convenience and therefore enhances patient compliance. For active pharmaceutical ingredients, permeation enhancers help overcome mucosal barriers and improve permeability. Permeation enhancers can aid in the permeability of the barrier layer in favor of drug absorption. Permeability enhancers promote the transport of molecules across epithelia. The files and their speeds may vary depending on, but are not limited to, film size, drug loading, enhancer Various parameters such as type / loading, polymer matrix release rate and mucosal residence time can be controlled and regulated by

However, the in vivo dissolution of the medicament active ingredient, particularly in the mouth of a subject, The solution and permeability can vary considerably. Certain classes of permeation enhancers enhance the In particular, the in vivo uptake and bioavailability of the filtrate can be improved.

See U.S. Patent Publication No. 2013 / 0338210, which is incorporated herein by reference. .

[0049] (Permeation Enhancer) Penetrance enhancers are described in J. Nicolazzo et al., J. of Controlled Disease, 105 (2005) 1-15, which is incorporated herein by reference. There are many reasons why the nasal cavity is an attractive site for the delivery of therapeutic agents to the systemic circulation. Avoiding first-pass metabolism in the liver and intestine due to direct drainage of blood into the venous system The first-pass effect is the poor bioavailability of some compounds when administered orally. In addition, the mucous membrane lining the oral cavity is easily accessible, which may be the main reason for this. This means that the dosage form can be applied to the area where it is needed and easily removed in case of emergency. However, like the skin, the buccal mucosa acts as a barrier to the absorption of xenobiotics. This can impede the penetration of the compound beyond this tissue. In addition, the identification of safe and effective permeation enhancers is an important step in the quest to improve oral mucosal drug delivery. It is a big goal.

[0050] Chemical permeation enhancers are substances that control the permeation rate of co-administered drugs across biological membranes. Extensive studies have demonstrated how permeation enhancers alter intestinal and transdermal permeability. The current focus is on gaining a better understanding of how buccal penetration enhancement can be achieved. Little is known about the mechanism.

[0051] The buccal mucosa outlines the inner lining of the cheeks and the area between the gums and the upper and lower lips. This is 100cm 2 The surface of the buccal mucosa is covered by a wavy basement membrane (approximately 1-2A thick). It is separated from the underlying connective tissue (lamina propria and submucosa) by a continuous layer of extracellular material (m It is composed of stratified squamous epithelium. This stratified squamous epithelium is divided into a basal region and a superficial region where cells are shed. It consists of differentiated layers of cells that change in size, shape, and content as they move. It contains approximately 40-50 cell layers, giving rise to a buccal mucosa 500-600 μm thick.

[0052] The permeability of the buccal mucosa is greater than that of the skin, but less than that of the intestine. The differences are the result of structural differences between the tissues. The absence of lamellae results in greater permeability to foreign compounds compared to the keratinized epithelium of the skin. On the other hand, the increased thickness and lack of tight junctions may make the buccal mucosa less permeable than intestinal tissue. Brings about becoming.

[0053] The primary barrier properties of the buccal mucosa are attributed to the upper one-third to one-quarter of the buccal epithelium. showed that the permeability barrier of the non-keratinized oral mucosa beyond the surface epithelium is formed from membrane-coated granules. It is known that this is due to contents extruded into the intercellular spaces of epithelial cells.

[0054] The intercellular lipids of the non-keratinized areas of the oral cavity are more abundant than those of the epidermis, palate, and gingiva. It is more polar in nature, and differences in the chemical properties of this lipid are observed between these tissues. This contributes to the difference in permeability that occurs between the keratinized layer, which creates a more effective barrier. Not only is there a greater degree of intercellular lipid packing in the stratum corneum of the modified epithelium, but the barrier It is clear that the chemistry of the lipids present within the cells is also a factor.

[0055] The presence of hydrophilic and lipophilic regions in the oral mucosa has allowed researchers to determine the transport of two types of fluid through the buccal mucosa. The existence of drug transport pathways - paracellular (between cells) and transcellular (across the cells) - has been postulated.

[0056] Drug delivery across the buccal mucosa is limited by the barrier properties of the epithelium and the area available for absorption. Therefore, various enhancement strategies are required to deliver therapeutically relevant amounts of drugs to the systemic circulation. Various methods, including the use of chemical penetration enhancers, prodrugs, and physical methods, have been proposed. Methods can be utilized to overcome the barrier properties of the buccal mucosa.

[0057] Chemical permeation enhancers, or absorption promoters, enhance the membrane permeation or absorption of co-administered drugs. is a substance added to pharmaceutical preparations to increase the rate of absorption. The chemical penetration enhancers can be applied to the skin, nose, and / or skin without causing toxicity. There has been a great deal of research investigating the effects on mucosa and the delivery of compounds across the intestine. Recently, more attention has been paid to the effect of these substances on the permeability of the buccal mucosa. Permeability across the lateral mucosa is considered to be a passive diffusion process, so the steady-state flux The donor chamber concentration (CD) increases with increasing donor chamber concentration (Jss) according to Fick's first law of diffusion. It should increase.

[0058] Surfactants and bile salts have been shown to inhibit the release of various compounds both in vitro and in vivo. The data from these studies have shown that it enhances permeability across the buccal mucosa. The authors found that the increased permeability was due to the action of surfactants on the intercellular lipids of the mucosa. Surfactants typically act by disrupting the intercellular lipid and protein domains. Surfactants function by disrupting the ions in the blood. They can be cationic, nonionic, or anionic. Examples of cationic surfactants include DDTMA, CTAB, and BAC. Examples of anionic surfactants include sodium glycodeoxycholate (GDC). and sodium deoxycholate (DOC). Examples of non-ionic surfactants are Poloxamer F127, Azone / Dimethylcyclodextrin (DMCD), Peseol, Love These include RAZOLU, and TDM.

[0059] Fatty acids have been shown to enhance the penetration of some drugs through the skin, , which has been shown by DSC and FTIR to be associated with increased fluidity of intercellular lipids. An example of a fatty acid is oleic acid.

[0060] Cyclodextrins also play a role in enhancing permeation by inclusion of complexes and extraction of membrane compounds. Examples of cyclodextrins include dimethyl-cyclodextrin and β-cyclodextrin is an example.

[0061] Chelating agents are also used to enhance permeation by interfering with Ca2+ calcium ions. Examples of chelating agents include EDTA and EGTA.

[0062] In addition, pretreatment with ethanol reduced the uptake of tritiated water and albumin across the ventral tongue mucosa. It has been shown to enhance the permeability of caffeine across the buccal mucosa in pigs. In addition, Azone® has been shown to have an enhancing effect on the permeability of compounds through the oral mucosa. In addition, chitosan, a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, has been shown to be effective in the intestines and It has been shown to enhance drug delivery across a variety of tissues, including the nasal mucosa.

[0063] Oral transmucosal drug delivery (OTDD) is the delivery of pharmaceutical active substances to the oral mucosa to achieve a systemic effect. The permeation pathway and prediction model of OTDD are described in, for example, M. Sattar's "Oral Administration Oral transmucosal drug delivery - current status and future prospects nt status and future prospects)”, Int'l. Journal of Pharmaceutics, 47(2014) 49 8-506, which is incorporated herein by reference. Compared with the dermal and nasal delivery routes, Despite limited characterization of their permeation pathways within the oral cavity, recent studies have demonstrated that ionized molecules penetrate the buccal epithelium. Researchers' growing understanding of how the human body permeates the oral cavity, as well as new assays to study the oral cavity The advent of technology and the ongoing development of in silico models to predict buccal and sublingual penetration This is encouraging.

[0064] To deliver a broader class of drugs across the buccal mucosa, it is necessary to reduce the barrier capacity of this tissue. A reversible method for reversing the buccal mucosa should be utilized. This requirement is based on the limitation of the buccal mucosa permeability. This has prompted research into penetration enhancers that safely modify the buccal permeation pathway. agents, fatty acids and their derivatives, chelating agents, cyclodextrin and chitosan. This can be improved by using various classes of transmucosal and transdermal penetration enhancers. Chemical agents used to enhance drug permeation include bile salts. This can be done.

[0065] An in vitro study on the enhancing effect of bile salts on the buccal permeation of compounds was carried out by Sevda Sene In the article "Drug permeation enhancement by the buccal route: Possibilities and limitations" via buccal route: possibilities and limitations), Journal of Controlled Releases e 72 (2001) 133-144, which is incorporated herein by reference. The article also includes information on dihydroxybile salts, sodium glycodeoxycholate, and guanidine diphosphate (GDC) and sodium taurodeoxycholate (TDC) and tri-hydroxy bile salts, Sodium glycocholate (GC) and sodium taurocholate (TC) at a concentration of 100 mM Recent studies on the effects of buccal epithelial permeability have also been performed to assess permeability in relation to histological effects. The changes in the fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), morphine sulfate, and Each was used as a model compound.

[0066] Chitosan has also been shown to inhibit the activity of small polar molecules and peptides / peptides in animal models and human volunteers. It has been shown to enhance the absorption of protein drugs through the nasal mucosa. Other studies have shown that it is effective against the intestinal mucosa. and show an enhancing effect on the permeation of compounds across cultured Caco-2 cells.

[0067] The permeation enhancer can be a plant extract. The plant extract can be obtained by distillation of the plant material. In some circumstances, the essential oil may be an essential oil extracted by a method such as the use of a sedative or a composition containing an essential oil. In this regard, plant extracts are synthetic analogs (i.e., organic compounds) of compounds extracted from plant material. The plant extract may contain phenylpropanoids. , for example, phenylalanine, eugenol, eugenol acetate, cinnamic acid, cinnamic acid ester cinnamic acid, cinnamaldehyde, hydrocinnamic acid, chavicol, or safrole, or combinations thereof The plant extract may include extracts of the clove plant, such as the leaves, stems, Or it can be an essential oil extract of the flower buds. The clove plant is Syzygium aromaticum The plant extract is Syzygium aromaticum. It contains 60-95% eugenol, e.g. The extract contains 80-95% eugenol. The extract also contains 5-15% ethyl acetate. The extract may also contain caryophyllene. The extract may also contain up to 2.1% α-humulene. Other volatile compounds present in lower concentrations are β-pinene, limonene, and farnesol. , benzaldehyde, 2-heptanone and ethyl hexanoate.

[0068] Additional permeation enhancers may be added to improve the absorption of the drug. Hansar is a natural or synthetic bile salt, such as sodium fusidate; glycocholate or deoxycholic acid; fatty acids and derivatives, e.g. sodium laurate, oleic acid, oleic acid oleyl alcohol, monoolein, and palmitoyl carnitine; chelating agents, e.g. For example, disodium EDTA, disodium EGTA, sodium citrate and sodium lauryl sulfate. sodium, azone, sodium cholate, sodium 5-methoxysalicylate, sorbitan la Urate, Glyceryl Monolaurate, Octoxynonyl-9, Laureth-9, Polysorbate glycerides, such as caprylocaproyl polyoxylglyceride; Examples include Labrasol.

[0069] Some natural products of plant origin have been shown to have vasodilatory properties. There are several mechanisms or ways in which products of this drug can cause vasodilation.

[0070] The fatty acids can be used as inactive ingredients in drug preparations or drug vehicles. Fatty acids are also used in formulations due to certain of their functional effects and their biocompatible properties. Fatty acids, both free and part of complex lipids, are the main It is an essential component of all membranes and gene regulators, providing metabolic fuel (storing and transporting energy). For reviews, see Rustan AC and Drevon, CA, which are incorporated herein by reference. .'s article, "Encyclopedia of Life Sciences, Fatty Acids: Structures and Properties" Perties, Encyclopedia of Life Sciences (2005). There are two families of essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). If the first double bond is found between the third and fourth carbon atoms from the ω carbon, then These are called omega-3 fatty acids. The first double bond is between the sixth and seventh carbon atoms. When these fatty acids are combined, they are referred to as omega-6 fatty acids. PUFAs can be further divided into omega-6 fatty acids by the addition of carbon atoms and unsaturation. Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid, is metabolized in the body by glycation (removal of hydrogen). Linolenic acid, dihomo-γ-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, adrenic acid, tetracosatetraene It is metabolized to omega-3 fatty acids, tetracosapentaenoic acid, and docosapentaenoic acid. α-Linolenic acid is a component of octadecatetraenoic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid, and eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA, docosapentaenoic acid, tetracosapentaenoic acid, tetracosahexaenoic acid, and is metabolized to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

It has been reported that the . See, S. Iello et al., Hypertension 31:615-20 (1998). The pulmonary vascular response to arachidonic acid, a metabolite of linoleic acid, varied according to dose, animal species, and Depending on the mode of administration of rachidonic acid and the tone of the pulmonary circulation, it may have vasoconstrictive or vasodilatory properties. For example, arachidonic acid can be either cyclooxygenase-dependent or -independent. It has been reported that these drugs cause chronic pulmonary vasodilation. Incorporated reference Feddersen, CO et al., J. Appl. Physiol. 68(5):1799-808 (1999) 0); and Spannhake, EW et al., J. Appl. Physiol. 44:397-495 (1978) and Wicks See, TC et al., Circ. Res. 38:167-71 (1976).

[0072] Many studies have shown that EPA and DHA, when administered in orally available forms, can improve vascular function. Several studies have reported effects of EPA-DHA or EPA alone on forearm microenvironment. In the circulation, it inhibits the vasoconstrictor action of norepinephrine or inhibits the vasodilator action of acetylcholine. Chin, et al., J. Immunol. 1999, 144:1311-1323, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. , JPF et al., Hypertension 21:22-8 (1993), and Tagawa, H. et al., J Cardiov See, e.g., J. Pharmacol 33:633-40 (1999). Another study showed that both EPA and DHA increased the total It tends to increase the compliance of the arterial system of the body and decrease pulse pressure and total vascular resistance. It has been found that Nestel, P. et al., Am. See J. Clin. Nutr. 76:326-30 (2002). On the other hand, studies have shown that EPA, rather than DHA enhances vasodilatory mechanisms in the forearm microcirculation of overweight men with hyperlipidemia; and Mori, et al., J. Med. Soc., 1999, 144:1311-1315, which is incorporated herein by reference, found that the vasopressin-induced contractile response was attenuated by the vasopressin-induced contractile response. See TA et al., Circulation 102:1264-69 (2000). We discovered that DHA has a vasodilatory effect on rhythmic contractions of isolated human coronary arteries in mice. Wu, K.-T. et al., Chinese J. Physiol. 5, incorporated herein by reference. 0(4):164-70 (2007).

[0073] Adrenergic receptors (or adrenoceptors) are receptors that bind catecholamines, especially norepinephrine. G protein, the target of nephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline) Epinephrine (adrenaline) is a class of α- and β-adrenergic receptors. The α receptors react with both epithelial and vascular endothelial cells, causing vasoconstriction and vasodilation, respectively. Although less sensitive to nephrin, peripheral α1 receptors are more sensitive than β-adrenoreceptors When activated, they mediate β-adrenoreceptor-mediated vascular As a result, high levels of circulating epinephrine cause vasoconstriction. At relatively low levels of circulating epinephrine, β-adrenoreceptor stimulation dominates, resulting in α1-adrenoreceptors stimulate smooth muscle contraction, resulting in vascular dilation and subsequent reduction in peripheral vascular resistance. vasoconstriction in the skin, mucous membranes, and abdominal viscera, and constriction of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and bladder It is known that α1-adrenergic receptors are involved in muscle contraction. q Protein-Coupled Receptor Upon activation, it is a member of the heterotrimeric G protein, G q is phospho It activates lipase C (PLC). Its mechanism of action involves interaction with calcium channels. , which alters intracellular calcium content. Smith RS et al., Journal of Neurophysiology 102(2): 1103-14 (200 9) Many cells have these receptors.

[0074] The α1-adrenergic receptor may be the primary receptor for fatty acids. For example, Saw palmetto extract (SPE), which is widely used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), inhibits α1-adrenergic receptors. Phosphamine-, muscarinergic, and 1,4-dihydropyridine (1,4-DHP) calcium channel blockers It has been reported that these compounds bind to receptors that are antagonistic to the agonist agonist receptors. Abe M. et al., Biol. Pharm. Bull. 32(4) 646-650 (2009), and Suz See Uki M. et al., Acta Pharmacologica Sinica 30:271-81 (2009). SPE is Various acids, including lauric acid, oleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid Lauric and oleic acids are alpha 1-adrenergic and muscarinic. It binds noncompetitively to phospho- and 1,4-DHP calcium channel antagonist receptors. It is possible.

[0075] In one embodiment, the permeability enhancer is an adrenergic receptor blocker. This adrenoceptor blocker is a terpene (e.g., derived from the unit of isoprene). volatile unsaturated hydrocarbons found in plant essential oils, or C10-C22 alcohols or acids In one embodiment, the adrenoceptor blocker is farnesol. linoleic acid, arachidonic acid, docosahexanoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and / or docosahexanoic acid The acid may be carboxylic acid, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, hydroxamine, or cosapentanoic acid. The derivative may be an ester or an amide. For example, the adrenergic receptor blocker may be a fatty acid or a fatty alcohol. There can be.

[0076] The C10-C20 alcohol or acid optionally has at least one double bond, at least one triple bond, A straight C10-C22 hydrocarbon chain containing a double bond or at least one double bond and one triple bond The hydrocarbon chain may optionally be an alcohol or acid having a C 1-4 Alkyl, C 2- 4 Alkenyl, C 2-4 Alkynyl, C 1-4 Alkoxy, hydroxyl, halo, amino, nitro , Cyano, C. 3-5 Cycloalkyl, 3-5 membered heterocycloalkyl, monocyclic aryl, 5-6 membered Heteroaryl of C 1-4 Alkylcarbonyloxy, C 1-4 Alkyloxycarbonyl, C1 -4 and optionally further substituted by -O-, -N (R a )-, -N(R a )-C(O)-O-, -OC(O)-N(R a )-, -N(R a )-C(O)-N(R b )- or -OC(O)-O- in between It's stuck. R a and R b Each of the is independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl , alkoxy, hydroxylalkyl, hydroxyl, or haloalkyl.

[0077] The compositions described herein can include a charged lipid or a mixture of charged lipids. As used herein, the term "charged lipid" refers to a lipid having one or two fatty acyl or fatty aryl groups. The term "quaternary amine" is intended to include lipids having an alkyl chain and a quaternary amino head group. It carries a permanent positive charge. The head group is made up of primary, secondary, or cyclic alkyl groups that can be protonated at physiological pH. or tertiary amines. The presence of a quaternary amine may , the pKa of this ionizable group is determined by the absence of a quaternary amine (e.g., a tertiary amine is not a tertiary amine) (wherein the pKa of the group is replaced by In some embodiments, the charged lipids are referred to as "amino lipids." The composition comprises a lipid having a quaternary amine, and a lipid having a quaternary amine and a quaternary It is possible to include lipids that do not have amines but have protonatable amine groups. The amine-containing lipids can be in the form of a salt and can be prepared from the corresponding lipids containing a tertiary amine. The tertiary amine can be, for example, an alkyl group with a suitable alkyl halide. Alternatively, alkyl-substituted lipids can be converted to quaternary amines by polymerization. The groups are different (e.g., N-ethyl-N-methylamino-, N-propyl-N-ethylamino-, etc.). Examples include those with alternative fatty acid groups and alternative quaternary groups, including R1 and For embodiments in which R2 are both long chain alkyl or acyl groups, they are the same. Generally, lipids with less saturated acyl chains (e.g., The electrolytic lipids are preferably selected so that the complexes are sized to be less than about 0.3 microns for purposes of filter sterilization. Unsaturated fatty acids with carbon chain lengths in the range of C10 to C20 are more easily sized when Other scaffolds are also available that utilize the amino groups ( For example, it can be used to separate the amino groups of charged lipids and the fatty acid or fatty alkyl moieties. It is possible.

[0078] Fatty acids with higher degrees of unsaturation are good candidates for enhancing drug permeation. Fatty acids showed higher enhancement than saturated fatty acids, and the enhancement increased with the number of double bonds. A. Mittal et al., "Status of Fatty Acids as Skin Penetration Enhancers: A Review" ``Atty Acids as Skin Penetration Enhancers - A Review)'', Current Drug Delivery, 2 009, 6, pp. 274-279. The position of the double bond also influences the enhancement of the activity of the fatty acid. The difference in the physicochemical properties of fatty acids due to the difference in the position of the double bond is believed to be a skin penetration enhancer. The location of the double bond most likely determines the potency of these compounds. As the double bond shifts to the even position, the skin distribution increases. The fatty acids with double bonds at several positions are more likely to cause perturbations in the structure of both the stratum corneum and the dermis. It has also been reported that cis-unsaturation in the chain increases activity. There is a tendency for

[0079] The adrenergic receptor interactor can be a terpene. Terpenes in essential oils The antihypertensive activity of has been reported. See, for example, IA et al., Z. Naturforsch. 65c:652-66 (2010). In the present invention, the penetration enhancer can be a sesquiterpene. The sesquiterpene is It consists of three isoprene units and has the empirical formula C 15 H 24 It is a class of terpenes having the formula: Like monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes may be acyclic or have many unique structures. Biochemical modifications such as oxidation or rearrangement may result in the formation of related rings. Produces sesquiterpenoids.

[0080] Adrenergic receptor interactors can be unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid. Cut.

[0081] In certain embodiments, the penetration enhancer can be farnesol. Farnesol is a 15-carbon organic compound that is an acyclic sesquiterpene alcohol. This is the naturally occurring dephosphorylated form of farnesyl pyrophosphate. Under standard conditions, It is a colorless liquid. It is hydrophobic and therefore insoluble in water, but is compatible with oils. Farnesol is a stimulant of citronella, neroli, cyclamen, and moonflower. It can be extracted from the oils of plants such as cereals, dairy products, and dairy products. This is due to the fact that mevalonic acid is produced in vertebrates. It is an intermediate step in the biosynthesis of cholesterol in the blood. It has a delicate floral or weak citrus-like aroma. It has a sweet odor and is used by performers. Selectively kills acute myeloid leukemia blasts and leukemia cell lines in preference to primary hematopoietic cells. It has been reported that the above-mentioned method can be used to treat pulmonary circulation disorders. See FEBS Lett 467 (2-3): 291-5 (2000). The tube working characteristics have been reported. Roullet, J. See, .-B. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 1996, 97:2384-2390. and N-acetyl-S-trans,trans-farnesyl-L-cysteine ​​(AFC), farnesyl Both synthetic mimics of the carboxyl terminus of the substituted proteins were expressed in rat aortic rings. Inhibited vasoconstriction.

[0082] In some embodiments, the interacting agent can be an aporphine alkaloid. For example, the interactor can be dicentrin.

[0083] In general, the interactive agent may also be a vasodilator or a therapeutic vasodilator. A vasodilator is a drug that opens or widens blood vessels. Vasodilators are commonly used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and angina pectoris, but is also used to treat other conditions including glaucoma. Some vasodilators (arteriodilators) that act primarily on resistance vessels can be used to Used for hypertension, heart failure, and angina; however, reflex cardiac stimulation may be involved. Arterial dilators are not suitable for angina pectoris. Venodilators are very effective for angina pectoris and sometimes Vasodilators are used in the treatment of heart failure, but not as primary therapy for hypertension. It is a mixed (or balanced) vasodilator in that it dilates both the blood vessels and veins. It can therefore be widely applied in hypertension, heart failure, and angina pectoris. Tonicity agents, due to their mechanism of action, in some cases enhance their therapeutic utility. Another important feature that may be of use is the ability to For example, some calcium channel blockers not only dilate blood vessels, but also impair the mechanical and electrical function of the heart, thereby reducing their antihypertensive properties. It can enhance the blood pressure effect and provide additional therapeutic benefits such as blocking arrhythmias. It can be granted.

[0084] Vasodilators are classified based on their site of action (arterial vs. venous) or by mechanism of action. They can be classified into three types: mainly drugs that dilate resistance blood vessels (arteriodilators; e.g., hydralazine, There are also drugs that affect venous capacitance (venodilators; e.g., nitroglycerin) and drugs that affect venous volume (venous dilators; e.g., nitroglycerin). Many vasodilators, such as phentolamine, are mixed arterial and venous dilatators. (mixed dilators; e.g., α-adrenergic receptor antagonists, angiotensin receptor antagonists, (Answer)

[0085] However, it is more common to classify vasodilators based on their primary mechanism of action. The diagram on the right depicts the important mechanistic classes of vasodilators. Other classes that produce ductal dilation include: α-adrenergic receptor antagonists (α-blockers); Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors; Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs); β2-adrenergic receptor blockers Calcium channel blockers (CCBs); centrally acting Sympatholytics; direct acting vasodilators; endothelin receptor antagonists; ganglion blocking agents Drugs; nitrodilators; phosphodiesterase inhibitors; potassium channel openers; renin inhibitors Included.

[0086] Generally, the active or inactive ingredient or material produces increased blood flow or tissue flushing. Substances that allow for changes or differences (increases or decreases) in the transmucosal uptake of the API. or compounds that have a positive or negative heat of solution and that alter (increase or decrease) transmucosal uptake. The term may be a substance or compound used as an adjuvant to reduce the

[0087] The pharmaceutical composition may be a spray, gum, gel, cream, tablet, liquid, or film. The composition may have textures, such as microneedles or microprojections on the surface. Recently, the use of micron-scale needles in increasing skin permeability has been Contains large molecules, and has been shown to significantly increase transdermal delivery, especially for macromolecules Most drug delivery studies have focused on in vitro transdermal delivery for a wide range of molecules and nanoparticles. The emphasis is on solid microneedles, which have been shown to increase permeability. The study will explore the effects of oligonucleotide delivery, insulin-induced blood glucose reduction, and protein synthesis. These studies have demonstrated the induction of immune responses from both genetic and DNA vaccines. Regarding the needle array, the needle array is designed to puncture the skin and enhance transport by diffusion or iontophoresis. or as a drug carrier to release drugs into the skin from a microneedle surface coating. Hollow microneedles have also been developed and used to microinject insulin into diabetic rats. To address the practical application of microneedles, it has been shown that the crushing strength of the microneedle is important for skin insertion. The ratio of force to force (i.e., margin of safety) for needles with small tip radii and large wall thicknesses is Microneedles inserted into the skin of human subjects were reported as painless. Taken together, these results suggest that microneedles may be useful for therapeutic applications for a wide range of potential applications. These results suggest that this could be a promising technology for delivering compounds to the skin. Using microneedles, they have been made in a wide range of sizes, shapes and materials. , a polymeric microscopic needle that delivers encapsulated drugs in a minimally invasive manner. However, other suitable materials can be used.

[0088] The applicant believes that microneedles may be useful in the delivery of drugs through the oral mucosa, particularly with the claimed compositions. The researchers found that microneedles can be used to deliver microscopic particles into the oral mucosa to enhance the The solid membrane creates pores of different sizes, which can enhance the delivery of drugs across the mucosa. The present invention provides a method for producing microneedles that are solid, hollow, or dissolvable, using a variety of materials including metals, polymers, glasses, and ceramics. The microfabrication process may be made of any suitable material, including but not limited to: , photolithography, silicon etching, laser cutting, metal electroplating, metal electroplating The microneedles can be used to prepare tissue, and can include grinding and shaping. The drug-loaded material described in this application may be a solid that is removed prior to application of the film. The loaded polymer film can be used as the matrix material for the microneedle itself. These films can have microneedles or microprojections fabricated on their surfaces. These form microchannels in the mucosa through which drugs can permeate. It will dissolve after

[0089] The term "film" refers to a film of any shape, including rectangular, square, or any other desired shape. The films can be of any desired thickness and size. In a preferred embodiment, the film is administered to a user, e.g. The thickness and size of the filter may be such that the filter can be placed in the oral cavity of a patient. The film may have a relatively thin thickness of about 0.0025 mm to about 0.250 mm, or the film may have a relatively thin thickness of about 0.0025 mm to about 0.250 mm. Some films may have a slightly thicker thickness of about 0.250 mm to about 1.0 mm. The thickness may also be relatively large, i.e., greater than about 1.0 mm, or The film may be relatively thin, i.e., less than about 0.0025 mm. or the film may be multi-layered, including laminated or multi-cast films. It can be a layer.

[0090] Oral dissolving films are divided into three main classes: fast dissolving, intermediate dissolving and slow dissolving. Instantly dissolving films can be classified into two types: instantaneous dissolving films, which dissolve in the mouth for about 1 to 30 seconds, and instantaneous dissolving films, which dissolve in the mouth for about 3 Moderately soluble films dissolve in the mouth in about 1 to about 30 minutes. The slowly dissolving film can dissolve in the mouth in more than 30 minutes. As a general trend, the instant dissolving films are made of low molecular weight hydrophilic polymers (e.g., those with a molecular weight of about 1,000 -9,000, or polymers having a molecular weight of up to 200,000 In contrast, slowly dissolving films are generally made of high molecular weight polymers (e.g., The moderately soluble films are a mixture of fast dissolving films and slow dissolving films. They tend to fall between sex films.

[0091] It may be preferred to use a film that is a moderately soluble film. The dissolvable film is capable of dissolving fairly quickly, but also has a good level of mucoadhesion. Moderately soluble films are also flexible, rapidly wettable, and typically Such moderately soluble films are non-irritating to the user. It is desirable to provide a dissolution rate of about 1 minute to about 20 minutes, while preventing the oral cavity of the user from becoming congested. acceptable mucoadhesion such that the film is not easily removed once placed on the This provides a level of solubility that can ensure delivery of the pharmaceutical active ingredient to the user. do.

[0092] The pharmaceutical composition film can be produced with an occlusive layer and an active layer in a suitable formulation. In one example, applicants have produced a film having a occlusion layer and an active layer. The sealing layer may be, for example, a suitable cellulosic polymer, cellulose, a thickener, a polyol compound, or the like. a liquid vehicle (e.g., perseol), a taste additive or taste masking agent, and / or The active layer may contain, for example, an active pharmaceutical ingredient (in this case, octyldodecyl) octides), water-soluble ingredients or resins (e.g., Sentry Polyox, etc.), flavor additives or flavor masks sugar or sugar substitutes, and permeation enhancers (in this case, activator).

[0093] (Active pharmaceutical ingredient) The pharmaceutical composition may contain one or more pharmacologic active ingredients. The active pharmaceutical ingredient may be one or a combination of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Medicines, steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antihistamines, local anesthetics, bactericides, disinfectants, vasoconstrictors , hemostatic agents, chemotherapy agents, antibiotics, keratolytic agents, cauterizing agents, antiviral agents, antirheumatic agents, Antihypertensives, bronchodilators, anticholinergics, anxiolytics, antiemetic compounds, hormones, peptidase The pharmaceutical active ingredient can be a compound, a drug, a peptide, a protein, or a vaccine. A pharma- ceutically acceptable salt, prodrug, derivative, drug conjugate, or analog of the drug. The term "prodrug" refers to a compound that is metabolized in the body to produce a biologically active drug. refers to a biologically inactive compound that can

[0094] (Octreotide) In certain instances, the pharmacologic active ingredient can be a peptide, such as a cyclic peptide. The pharmaceutical active ingredient can mimic natural hormones. It pharmacologically mimics somatostatin, but does not inhibit the growth hormone glucagon or insulin. Octreotide, an octapeptide, is a more potent inhibitor than the natural hormone. Octreotide is effective in treating growth hormone-producing tumors (acromegaly and gigantism), thyroid Diarrhea associated with pituitary tumors secreting stimulating hormones (thyrotropinomas) and carcinoid syndrome and flushing episodes, and in humans with vasoactive intestinal peptide-secreting tumors (VIPomas) Octreotide is often used to treat diarrhea in patients with bronchitis, as it is administered intravenously through the portal vein. Management of acute bleeding from esophageal varices in cirrhosis based on reducing blood pressure It is given as an infusion to treat chronic conditions, but current evidence suggests that this effect is only temporary. It has been suggested that octreotide is effective in treating pulmonary arterial disease and does not improve survival time. In the scanning procedure, indium-111 labeling (Octreoscan) was used to study neuroendocrine and somatic It can be used to non-invasively image other tumors that express tostatin receptors. More recently, it has been radiolabeled with carbon-11 or gallium-68 and used for positron emission tomography (PET). ), which provides higher resolution and sensitivity. Otides can be labeled with various radionuclides, such as yttrium-90 or lutetium-177. This allows the development of peptide receptor radionuclides for the treatment of unresectable neuroendocrine tumors. Octreotide also inhibits the production of excess growth hormone (GH) and allows for progesterone reuptake therapy (PRRT). Octreotide is a somatostatin analogue that can be used to treat acromegaly. and inhibits the release of GH from the pituitary gland through a process normally involved in negative feedback. To inhibit.

[0095] (Franz diffusion cell) Franz diffusion cells were used in formulation development to identify the most active permeation enhancers. This is an apparatus used for ex vivo tissue permeation assays. The device consists of two chambers separated by a membrane of, for example, animal or human skin. The test product is applied to the membrane through the upper chamber. The lower chamber is Samples were then taken at regular intervals for analysis to determine the amount of activity permeating the membrane at that time point. This includes fluids that are

[0096] With reference to FIG. 1, a Franz diffusion cell 100 includes a donor compound 101, a donor chamber 102, a membrane 10 3, sampling port 104, receptor chamber 105, stirrer 106, and heater / thermal It has 107 curators.

[0097] With reference to FIG. 2, the pharmaceutical composition is a film 100 comprising a polymer matrix 200, The pharmaceutical active ingredient 300 is dispersed in the polymer matrix. The permeation enhancer 400 may be a surface active agent such as a surfactant. The surfactant may be a nonionic or anionic surfactant, or a cationic, nonionic surfactant. The surfactant may also be a combination of ionic and / or anionic surfactants. EXAMPLES

[0098] Example 1 - Performance ranking of octreotide enhancers Certain permeation enhancers are typically used in conjunction with the elution of a pharmaceutical active ingredient and / or the permeation enhancer. With respect to penetration enhancers, Applicants believe that certain enhancers may induce lysis. The compatibility with octreotide is relatively improved in terms of the permeability, and They found that these compounds did not induce precipitation of enhancers. Ionic surfactants (e.g., DDTMAB, CTAB, and BAC), higher concentrations of certain anions ionic surfactants (GDC, DOC), certain nonionic surfactants (e.g., poloxamer F127, Azone / DMCD, Labrasol, TDM), certain chelating agents (e.g., EDTA), certain cyclohexyl and cyclodextrins (e.g., dimethyl-cyclodextrin). The relative compatibility and relative permeation ranking with treotide is shown. (Table 1) [Table 1] *Octreotide 10% w / w is soluble after vigorous stirring

[0099] As shown in Table 1, the cationic surfactant surprisingly had a rank score of 3 ( High permeability) demonstrated both strong compatibility and permeability enhancement of octreotide. The use of one or a combination of hydrophilic surfactants may improve the compatibility of octreotide with the subject. Alternatively, any of the cationic surfactants may be used. or a rank 2 or rank 1 enhancer that also exhibits octreotide compatibility (e.g., G DC, Azone, EDTA, and dimethylcyclodextrin) This provides a pharmaceutical composition that provides enhanced delivery of octreotide to a subject. It can be provided.

[0100] Example 2 Applicant also discloses the following penetration enhancers and enhancers, as shown in Table 2 below: Concentrations of 100 mg / kg / day were tested and the average flux obtained from the ex vivo permeation model was compared. (Table 2) [Table 2] TIFF2024156672000005.tif220170TIFF2024156672000006.tif248170(Description) [Table 3]

[0101] As can be seen from the above, glycine betaine alkyl ester and dodecyl trimethyl ester Ammonium bromide surprisingly provided enhanced average flux. Cyltrimethylammonium bromide, azone, and benzalkonium chloride (BAC) are also , giving the enhanced average flux results. Exemplary structures of these enhancers are shown below: [ka] .

[0102] (Example 3 DDTMAB permeation activity) With reference to FIG. 3, Applicants have shown that the octanoic acid concentration of 5% by weight DDTMAB increases the permeation The effect of treotide concentration was examined. The graph shows the flux (μg / cm) as a function of time. m 2 * indicates minutes. Square data points indicate 3 mg octreotide with DDTMAB enhancer. The diamond data points represent the 1.5 mg octreotide with DDTMAB enhancer. The cross-hatched data points indicate the results for the 0.6 mg Octolase with DDTMAB enhancer. The triangle data points indicate the 0.3 mg octyltin derivative with the DDTMAB enhancer. Indicates punch line.

[0103] As shown in the graph, 5% DDTMAB showed the following results: over 50 minutes, over 60 minutes, over 70 minutes, over 80 minutes, over 90 minutes, and about 50 to 100 minutes, including about 100 minutes, more than 0.1 flux, more than 0.2 flux, and 0.3 flux Including greater than 0.4 flux, and about 0.5 flux, approaching 0.5 flux. For octreotide, the maximum flux was about 2 to 2.5 in about 175 minutes. For this, a maximum flux of 1.5 was obtained at about 175 min. Lower concentrations were 0.25 flux. It took about 125 min for the DDTMAB concentration to approach . shows that permeation is dependent on octreotide concentration.

[0104] With reference to FIG. 4, octreotide permeation follows Fick's first law of diffusion. The drug concentration in the treatment compartment is constant and that in the receiver compartment is zero. If , the data points show a linear relationship between flux and drug concentration. A flux of 0.500ug / cm2*min was achieved at an octreotide concentration of approximately 5mg / ml. Flash of 2.0 to 2.5 ug / cm2* or more, including more than 1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and about 2.5 ug / cm2*. The following are included in the 15 mg / ml, 16 mg / ml, 17 mg / ml, 18 mg / ml, 19 mg / ml, and about 20 mg / ml: However, this was achieved with octreotide concentrations between 15 and 20 mg / ml.

[0105] Example 4 With reference to FIG. 5, Applicant has discovered that aliphatic trimethylammonium bromide surfactants (e.g., The structure-activity relationship of the compounds (n=5, 7, 9, 11, 15) was examined. The graph shows the The data show that the permeation activity is dependent on the alkyl chain length, with an optimal length. As the graph shows, the hexyl, octyl, and decyl derivatives was not active at 1 wt.%. Decyltrimethylammonium bromide (CMC ~ 1.7 wt.%) %) was active at 5 wt. %.

[0119] Example 11 The applicant has found that a biodegradable cationic surfactant has a stronger affinity for the mucous membrane than a non-degradable one. They concluded that these lipids would be less irritating if subjected to acid / base hydrolysis or enzymatic manipulation. Some lipids have a cationic group and a long alkyl chain. The present applicant has designed and prepared a polymerizable compound by placing a degradable linker between the polymerizable compound and the polymerizable compound. It was reasoned that the dissolution products would be more biocompatible if they were naturally occurring. For example, the decomposition products from glycine betaine alkyl esters include glycine betaine and long chain Glycine betaine is a naturally occurring organic osmolyte in cells. It should be biocompatible and non-toxic. It should have no adverse effects and occur naturally. The fatty alcohols are converted to , will be converted to naturally occurring fatty acids.

[0186] The amount of pharmaceutical active ingredient used will depend on the desired therapeutic strength and the composition of these layers. However, preferably, the pharmaceutical ingredient comprises from about 0.001% to about 99%, more preferably from about 0.003 to about 99%, of the composition. About 75%, and most preferably about 0.005% to about 50% by weight, which is greater than 0.005%, 0.05% Very, more than 0.5%, more than 1%, more than 5%, more than 10%, more than 15%, more than 20%, more than 30%, about 50%, more than 50%, 50% Less than, Less than 30%, Less than 20%, Less than 15%, Less than 10%, Less than 5%, Less than 1%, Less than 0.5%, 0.05 %, and less than 0.005%. The amount of other ingredients varies depending on the drug or other ingredients. Typically, these components will not exceed 50% by weight of the total device, and preferably will not exceed 30%. and most preferably not more than 15%.

[0187] The thickness of the film may vary depending on the thickness of each layer and the number of layers. Both the thickness and amount of may be adjusted to vary the erosion kinetics. When the film has only two layers, the thickness is 0.005 mm to 2 mm, preferably 0.01 to 1 mm, more preferably The range is 0.1 to 0.5 mm, which means more than 0.1 mm, more than 0.2 mm, about 0.5 mm, more than 0.5 mm, less than 0.5 mm, 0 The thickness of each layer should be between 10 and 90% of the total thickness of the layered device. %, preferably 30-60%, which may be greater than 10%, greater than 20%, greater than 30%, greater than 40%, More than 50%, more than 70%, more than 90%, about 90%, less than 90%, less than 70%, less than 50%, less than 40%, 30 %, less than 20%, and less than 10%.
