[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63 / 276,117, filed November 5, 2021, and Patent Cooperation Treaty Application No. PCT / EP / 2022 / 056991, filed March 17, 2022, each of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
[0002] The present disclosure relates generally to psilocin compounds and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, polymorphs, stereoisomers, or solvates, compositions, and in some embodiments, to serotonin 5-HT2 receptor agonists and their use in treating diseases associated with the 5-HT2 receptor. [Background technology]
[0003] Psilocybin (PY) and psilocin (PI) are tryptamine alkaloids and structural analogs of the neurotransmitter serotonin. Psilocybin is a prodrug of psilocin; that is, when consumed, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized to its active form, psilocin (4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine). Specifically, a chemical process called dephosphorylation removes the phosphate group on psilocybin, producing psilocin. [ka]
[0004] In vitro, psilocin has been reported to be a short-lived and unstable molecule. For this reason, psilocin has been little studied and is not generally recognized as a viable therapeutic option. Vaupel et al. investigated the effects of psilocin ascorbate on food intake in dogs (D.B. Vaupel, M. Nozaki, W.R. Martin, L.D.Bright, E.C. Morton, "The inhibition of food intake in the dog by LSD, mescaline, psilocin, d-amphetamine, and phenylisopropylamine derivatives," Life Sciences, Volume 24, Issue 26, 1979, pp. 2427-2431).
[0005] Migliaccio et al. studied the solution structure of psilocin monooxalate in water (Gerald P. Migliaccio, Tiee-Leou N. Shieh, Stephen R. Byrn, Bruce A. Hathaway, and David E. Nichols, Comparison of solution conformational preferences for the hallucinogens bufotenin and psilocin using 360-MHz proton NMR spectroscopy, Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 1981 24, 2, 206-209).
[0006] Aghajanian et al. used microiontophoresis to study the effects of psilocin tartrate on serotonergic neurons in rats (Aghajanian GK, Hailgler HJ. Hallucinogenic indoleamines: Preferential action upon presynaptic serotonin receptors. Psychopharmacol Commun. 1975, 1, 6, 619-29).
[0007] Kuhnert-Brandstatter et al. reported the preparation of three polymorphs of psilocycin (Kuhnert, M. et al., Polymorphic Modifications and Solvates of Psilocin and Psilocybin, 1976, Archive der Pharmazie, 309:625-631).
[0008] US Patent No. 11,312,684 B1 describes syrosin salts with improved physical properties and handling.
[0009] Therefore, therapeutic applications involving the use of psilocin have generally been achieved through the administration of precursors, psilocybin, or other prodrug approaches. However, psilocybin has a slow onset of action and a prolonged duration of drug action, often requiring 7–8 hours of monitored clinical observation before the patient is discharged. Because psilocybin must be metabolized to release the active form, there is also a high level of variability during delivery. Therefore, a need exists for a stabilized psilocin that does not rely on prodrug degradation to deliver the pharmacologically active drug, has less variability in drug exposure, and has a faster / faster onset of therapeutic action and a shorter duration of drug action (i.e., shorter duration of therapeutic effect) than psilocybin. Summary of the Invention
[0010] The present disclosure is based, at least in part, on the identification of novel stable forms of psilocin and deuterated psilocin, including novel polymorphs of psilocin / deuterated psilocin, novel salt forms of psilocin / deuterated psilocin, and polymorphs thereof, that provide a fast therapeutic onset, a short duration of drug action, and low variability in drug exposure (e.g., compared to psilocybin and other prodrug approaches), as well as compositions thereof and methods of using the same to treat diseases associated with the serotonin 5-HT2 receptor. More specifically, the present disclosure provides a novel method for treating diseases associated with the 5-HT2 receptor, e.g., without hallucinogenic side effects, and for treating serotonin-related disorders. 2A Provided are stabilized forms of psilocin and deuterated psilocin, and compositions thereof, that can be used to treat neuropsychiatric disorders, central nervous system (CNS) disorders, and other disorders, such as those associated with inflammation, through various dosing regimens (e.g., single, once-daily, once-weekly sub-psychedelic dosing, etc.) to selectively engage R.
[0011] The disclosed stabilized forms of psilocin and deuterated psilocin do not rely on prodrug metabolism for release of the active drug, as is the case with psilocybin administration or related prodrug approaches, and therefore may provide a fast / rapid therapeutic onset, a short duration of drug action (i.e., a short duration of therapeutic effect), and low subject-to-subject variability. Instead, the inventors have identified dosage forms that provide rapid release of stabilized forms of psilocin and deuterated psilocin with fast and reliable onset characteristics, including oral dosage forms that allow for pre-gastric absorption, e.g., by administering the compounds herein through the mucosal lining of the oral cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0114] In the following detailed description of embodiments of the present disclosure, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present disclosure may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail as not to unnecessarily obscure aspects of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
[0115] definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
[0116] When a substituent or group is described as "containing deuterium" or "containing deuterium," it is to be understood that the substituent or group itself can be deuterium, or the substituent or group can contain at least one deuterium substitution in its chemical structure. For example, if the substituent "-R" is defined as containing deuterium, it is to be understood that -R can be -D (-deuterium), or a group such as -CD consistent with the other requirements set forth for -R.
[0117] As used herein, the term "fat" refers to a compound having a long-chain (linear) hydrophobic moiety composed of hydrogen and 4 to 26 carbon atoms, and may be fully saturated or partially unsaturated.
[0118] The phrases "pharmaceutically acceptable," "physiologically acceptable," and the like are used herein to refer to compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that are, within the scope of sound medical judgment, suitable for use in contact with human tissue without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic response, or other problem or complication, commensurate with a reasonable benefit / risk ratio. When referring to salts, the phrases "pharmaceutically acceptable salt," "physiologically acceptable salt," and the like mean salts that are acceptable for administration to a patient, such as a mammal (salts having counterions that have acceptable mammalian safety for a given administration regimen). As is well known in the art, such salts can be derived from pharmaceutically acceptable inorganic or organic bases such as sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium, and tetraalkylammonium salts, and, where the molecule contains a basic functional group, from addition salts with inorganic acids such as hydrochlorides, hydrobromides, sulfates, sulfamate, phosphates, nitrates, perchlorates, and the like, as well as from addition salts with organic acids such as formates, tartrates, besylates, mesylates, acetates, maleates, malonates, oxalates, fumarates, benzoates, salicylates, succinates, oxalates, glycolates, hemixalates, hemifumarates, propionates, stearates, tartrates, lactates, citrates, ascorbates, pamoates, hydroxymaleates, phenylacetates, glutamates, 2-acetoxybenzoates, tosylates, ethanedisulfonates, isethionates, and the like. The term "salt thereof" refers to a compound formed when the proton of an acid is replaced by a cation, such as a metal cation or an organic cation. Where applicable, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, but this is not required for salts of intermediate compounds that are not intended for administration to patients. For example, salts of the present compounds include those in which the compound is protonated with an inorganic or organic acid to form a cation, and has a conjugate base of the inorganic or organic acid as the anionic component of the salt.
[0119] "Solvate" refers to a physical association of a compound or salt of the present disclosure with one or more solvent molecules, whether organic, inorganic, or a mixture of both. This physical association includes hydrogen bonding. In certain instances, a solvate can be isolated, for example, when one or more solvent molecules are incorporated into the crystal lattice of a crystalline solid. The solvent molecules in a solvate can exist in an ordered and / or irregular arrangement. A solvate may contain either stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of solvent molecules. "Solvate" encompasses both solution-phase and isolatable solvates. Some examples of solvents include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, dimethyl sulfoxide, and water. When the solvent is water, the solvate formed is a hydrate (e.g., monohydrate, dihydrate, etc.). Thus, exemplary solvates include, but are not limited to, hydrates, methanolates, ethanolates, isopropanolates, etc. Methods of solvation are generally known in the art.
[0120] "Stereoisomer" and "stereoisomers" refer to compounds that have the same atomic connectivity but different atomic arrangements in space. Stereoisomers include cis-trans isomers, E and Z isomers, enantiomers, and diastereomers. All forms of the compounds, such as racemates and optically pure stereoisomers, are contemplated herein. Chemical formulas and compounds that have at least one stereocenter but are drawn without reference to stereochemistry are intended to include both the racemate and the individual stereoisomers, such as R- and / or S-stereoisomers, each permutation of the diastereomers, so long as such diastereomers are geometrically feasible.
[0121] "Tautomer" refers to alternative forms of molecules that differ only in the electronic bonding of the atoms and / or in the position of the protons, such as enol-keto, imine-enamine, and neutral / zwitterionic tautomers, or tautomeric forms of heteroaryl groups containing the -N=C(H)-NH- ring atom configuration, such as pyrazole, imidazole, benzimidazole, triazole, and tetrazole. Other tautomeric ring atom configurations are also possible.
[0122] A "crystalline" solid is a type of solid whose fundamental three-dimensional structure contains a highly regular pattern of atoms or molecules that form a crystal lattice with long-range order, and thus exhibits sharp, characteristic crystalline peaks in its X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern. In some cases, a crystalline solid may exist in different crystalline forms known as "polymorphs," which have the same chemical composition but differ in packing, geometric arrangement, and other descriptive properties of the crystalline solid state. Thus, polymorphs may have various solid-state physical properties that affect, for example, the solubility, dissolution rate, bioavailability, chemical and physical stability, flowability, and compressibility of the compound, as well as the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals based on the compound. Further refinement in terms of macroscopic physical purity or optical purity may be performed in the process of preparing polymorphs. Crystalline forms of a substance, including polymorphs, may be designated throughout this disclosure by "pattern" numbers (e.g., pattern 1, pattern 2, etc.) based on their characterized X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) patterns. As used herein, the term "amorphous" refers to a solid material that has substantially no long-range order in its molecular positions; the molecules are arranged randomly, with no clearly defined arrangement, e.g., no molecular packing, and no long-range order. Amorphous solids are generally isotropic, i.e., exhibit similar properties in all directions, and do not have a distinct melting point. For example, an amorphous material is a solid material that does not have a substantially sharp, characteristic crystalline peak in its X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern (i.e., is not crystalline as determined by XRPD). Instead, one or more broad peaks (e.g., halos) appear in its XRPD pattern. Broad peaks are characteristic of amorphous solids. Thus, an "amorphous" subject compound / material is one characterized as having substantially no crystallinity, e.g., less than 10%, less than 8%, less than 6%, less than 4%, less than 2%, less than 1%, or 0%, i.e., at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 96%, at least 98%, or 100% amorphous, as determined, for example, by XRPD.For example, in some embodiments, the percent crystallinity may be determined by measuring the intensity of one or more peaks in an XRPD diffractogram compared to a reference peak, which may be a known standard or an internal standard. Other characterization techniques, such as modulated differential scanning calorimetry (mDSC) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and other quantitative methods, including quantitative methods that provide the above percentages in terms of weight percent, may also be used to determine the percent amorphous or crystalline of the subject compounds / materials.
[0123] Reference to an X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) pattern of a compound / salt etc. of the present disclosure characterized by an X-ray powder diffraction pattern comprising "at least three characteristic peaks" should be understood to include substances / compounds / salts characterized as having 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, or more (including all) of the listed characteristic XRPD diffraction peaks. Furthermore, "a substance / compound / salt comprising at least three characteristic peaks at diffraction angles (2θ±0.2°) selected from is open to the inclusion of other XRPD diffraction peaks not listed."
[0124] It will be understood that the compounds herein may exist in different salt, solvate, stereoisomer, tautomer, crystalline / amorphous (or polymorph) forms, and that the present disclosure is intended to include all permutations thereof, for example, solvates of pharmaceutically acceptable salts of stereoisomers of the subject compounds.
[0125] As used herein, the term "steady state" describes a stable or steady state level of a molecule concentration, such as the concentration of any compound described herein.
[0126] As used herein, the terms "stable," "stability," and the like include chemical stability and solid-state (physical) stability. The term "chemical stability" means that a compound can be stored under normal storage conditions, either in an isolated form or in a formulation provided in admixture with, for example, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or adjuvant described herein, with little or no chemical degradation or decomposition. "Solid-state stability" means that a compound can be stored under normal storage conditions, either in an isolated solid form or in a solid formulation provided in admixture with, for example, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent, or adjuvant described herein, with little or no solid-state changes (e.g., hydration, dehydration, solvation, desolvation, crystallization, recrystallization, or solid-state phase transition).
[0127] A "psilocybin-based" drug is any prodrug of a psilocin-type compound, such as an alkyl / aryl ester, α-amino ester (e.g., amino acid ester), hemiester, bisester, phosphate ester, sulfate ester, etc., that upon administration releases psilocin or a deuterated analog thereof (e.g., a compound of Formula (I)) as the active ingredient. Psilocybin-based drugs include psilocybin itself (the dihydrogen phosphate ester of psilocin, as well as other neutral or zwitterionic forms).
[0128] As used herein, the term "composition" is equivalent to the term "formulation."
[0129] As used herein, the term "active ingredient" is equivalent to the term "active pharmaceutical ingredient" (API).
[0130] The term "tamper-resistant" is art-recognized to describe aspects of a pharmaceutical formulation that make it difficult to abuse the drug portion of the formulation using the formulation, whether via extraction for intravenous use, intradermal use, or via crushing for purified cocaine use, thereby reducing the risk of drug abuse.
[0131] As used herein, the term "treating" or "treatment" means treating or treating a disease or medical condition in a patient, e.g., a mammal (particularly a human), including ameliorating a disease or medical condition, e.g., eliminating or causing regression of the disease or medical condition in a patient, inhibiting a disease or medical condition, e.g., by slowing or arresting the onset of the disease or medical condition in a patient, or alleviating one or more symptoms of a disease or medical condition in a patient. In one embodiment, prophylactic treatment may prevent the occurrence of a disease or medical condition in a subject.
[0132] A "patient" or "subject," as used interchangeably herein, can be any mammal, including, for example, human and non-human subjects. The patient or subject can have the condition being treated or can be susceptible to the condition being treated.
[0133] As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the terms "prevent," "preventing," and "prevention" refer to the prevention of the onset, recurrence, or spread of a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms thereof. The term encompasses the inhibition or reduction of symptoms of a particular disease, disorder, or condition. Subjects with a family history of a disease, disorder, or condition are particularly, in certain embodiments, candidates for a preventative regimen. Additionally, subjects with a history of recurrent symptoms are also potential candidates for prevention. In this regard, the term "prevention" may be used interchangeably with the term "prophylactic treatment."
[0134] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, the terms "manage," "managing," and "management" refer to preventing or slowing the progression, spread, or worsening of a disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms thereof. Often, the beneficial effects a subject derives from a prophylactic and / or therapeutic agent do not result in a cure of the disease, disorder, or condition. In this regard, the term "managing" encompasses treating a subject afflicted with a particular disease, disorder, or condition in an effort to prevent or minimize the recurrence of the disease, disorder, or condition, or one or more symptoms thereof.
[0135] "Pharmaceutically effective amount" and "therapeutically effective amount" refer to that amount of a compound sufficient to treat a particular disorder or disease, or one or more symptoms thereof, and / or prevent the disease or disorder from occurring.
[0136] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a "prophylactically effective amount" of an active ingredient is an amount sufficient to prevent a disease, disorder, or condition, or to prevent its recurrence. The term "prophylactically effective amount" can encompass an amount that improves overall prophylaxis or enhances the prophylactic effect of another prophylactic agent.
[0137] The term "administration schedule" refers to a plan that chronologically shows the type, amount, duration, and procedure of drug treatment, including the dosage, administration method, administration order, and administration date of each drug. The designated administration date is determined before the start of drug administration. Administration continues by repeating a series of administration schedules, each of which is considered a "course." A "continuous" administration schedule means daily administration without interruption during the treatment course. If the administration schedule follows an "intermittent" administration schedule, days of administration may be followed by "rest days" or non-administration days of the drug during the course. A "drug holiday" indicates that the drug is not being administered according to a specified administration schedule. For example, after receiving one or several courses of treatment, a subject may be instructed to take a prescribed drug holiday as part of the administration schedule, for example, before resuming active treatment.
[0138] The term "toxic spike" is used herein to describe a neural spike at concentrations of any compound described herein that produces sedative or psychotomimetic side effects (e.g., hallucinations, dizziness, and nausea), or any undesirable and / or unintended secondary effects resulting in a subjective experience qualitatively different from that of the normal state produced by administering the pharmaceutical to an individual. These experiences may include derealization, depersonalization, hallucinations, and / or sensory distortions in vision, hearing, smell, touch, proprioception, and / or other perceptual modifications, and / or other substantial subjective changes in cognition, memory, emotion, and consciousness. When unwanted and / or unintended, such side effects may affect not only immediate effects but also treatment compliance. In particular, side effects may be more pronounced at blood concentration levels of approximately 250, 300, 400, or 500 ng / L or greater.
[0139] As used herein, and unless otherwise specified, a "neuropsychiatric disease or disorder" is a behavioral or psychological problem associated with a known neurological condition, typically defined as a constellation of coexisting symptoms. Examples of neuropsychiatric disorders include, but are not limited to, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, and manic depression, depression, or any combination thereof.
[0140] As used herein, "inflammatory condition" and "inflammatory disease" include rheumatic diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, psoriatic arthritis), spondyloarthropathies (e.g., ankylosing spondylitis, reactive arthritis, Reiter's syndrome), crystalline arthropathies (e.g., gout, pseudogout, calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease), multiple sclerosis, Lyme disease, polymyalgia rheumatica, connective tissue diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, Sjogren's syndrome), vasculitis (e.g., nodular polyposis), and the like. It broadly refers to chronic or acute inflammatory conditions, including, but not limited to, vascular diseases including arteritis, Wegener's granulomatosis, Churg-Strauss syndrome), inflammatory conditions resulting from trauma or ischemia, sarcoidosis, atherosclerosis, and vascular occlusive diseases (e.g., atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, peripheral vascular disease), and vascular stent restenosis, uveitis, corneal disease, iritis, iridocyclitis, glaucoma, and cataracts.
[0141] All diseases and disorders listed herein may be defined as set forth in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), published by the American Psychiatric Association, or the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), published by the World Health Organization.
[0142] As used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items. As used throughout this description and the claims that follow, the meaning of "a," "an," and "the" includes plural references as well as singular references, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The term "about" in connection with a numerical value means that the value varies above or below 5%. For example, a value of about 100 means 95 to 105 (or any value between 95 and 105).

Amorphous forms typically have higher aqueous solubility and dissolution rate than their crystalline counterparts and may therefore be suitable for fast-acting dosage forms adapted to rapidly release the active ingredient, such as orodispersible dosage forms (ODx) and immediate release (IR) dosage forms. The salt of a compound of Formula (I) may be in a stable amorphous form. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) is provided in an amorphous form, for example, as determined by XRPD and / or mDSC. Thus, pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared from one or more amorphous forms of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) and used in the treatments described herein. In some embodiments, a highly pure amorphous form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) is provided. For example, a pharmaceutical composition may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 96%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in amorphous form, as determined, for example, by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC.
[0174] In some embodiments, the salt of the compound of formula (I) is crystalline. Crystalline forms are advantageous in terms of stability and provide well-defined physical properties that are desirable for pharmaceutical preparation and administration. The salt of the compound of formula (I) can be in a stable crystalline form. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula (I) has a crystallinity of at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5%, and up to 100%, as determined by XRPD and / or mDSC analysis. For example, a pharmaceutical composition may be provided containing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in crystalline form, for example, as determined by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC. In some embodiments, a highly pure crystalline form of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) is provided. For example, a pharmaceutical composition may be provided containing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in crystalline form, for example, as determined by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC. For example, salt forms having a high degree of crystallinity, as determined by discrete and sharp Bragg diffraction in an X-ray diffractogram, are preferred.
[0175] XRPD analysis can be performed, for example, on a Bruker AXS D2 diffractometer using CuKα radiation (wavelength = 1.54060 Å). The instrument may be equipped with a fine focus X-ray tube. The tube voltage and amperage can be set to 30 kV and 10 mA, respectively, and a θ-θ geometry can be used using a LynxEye detector from 5 to 42°2θ, with a step size of 0.024°2θ and a collection time of 0.1 seconds per step.
[0176] With respect to pharmaceutical production processes, advantageous salt forms of the compound of formula (I) are those that readily give solid materials, either crystalline or amorphous, without oil, in acceptable yields and with favorable volume factors, and are suitable for large-scale production.
[0177] While salt forms of the compound of Formula (I) can exist in different polymorphic forms (i.e., forms having different crystalline structures), preferred salt forms of the present disclosure are those that can be produced as a single crystalline form or a single polymorphic form (including a single amorphous form) as measured by XRPD and / or mDSC and / or differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It is also generally desirable for the salt to be free-flowing, not aggregate / adhere to surfaces, and have an ordered morphology.
[0178] Chemical / Solid State Stability In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) has an onset of melting from about 90°C, from about 100°C, from about 110°C, from about 120°C, from about 130°C, from about 140°C, from about 150°C, from about 160°C, from about 170°C, from about 180°C, from about 190°C, and up to about 250°C, up to about 240°C, up to about 230°C, up to about 225°C, up to about 210°C, up to about 200°C, as determined by DSC.
[0179] Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of formula (I) may be characterized as non-hygroscopic or slightly hygroscopic, preferably non-hygroscopic. Hygroscopicity, as used herein, can be measured using a dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) analyzer by performing moisture sorption / desorption isotherms starting at 40% relative humidity (RH), increasing the humidity up to 90% RH, decreasing the humidity to 0% RH, increasing the humidity to 90% RH, decreasing the humidity to 0% RH, and finally increasing the humidity back to the starting 40% RH, and is classified according to the following: Non-hygroscopic: <0.2%. Slightly hygroscopic: ≥0.2% to <2%. Hygroscopic: ≥2% to <15%. Very hygroscopic: ≥15%. Deliquescent: Sufficient water is absorbed to form a liquid. All values are measured as weight gain (w / w due to water gain) at >90% RH and 25°C.
[0180] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I) has a weight gain >90% RH as measured by DVS of less than 1% w / w, less than 0.8% w / w, less than 0.6% w / w, less than 0.5% w / w, less than 0.4% w / w, less than 0.3% w / w, less than 0.2% w / w, less than 0.1% w / w, less than 0.08% w / w, less than 0.06% w / w, less than 0.05% w / w, less than 0.02% w / w.
[0181] Dry powder samples of the free base and salts can be maintained / stored in open or closed environments, such as open or closed flasks / vials, without significant degradation or physical change (e.g., change in morphology, decomposition, etc.) under ambient or stress conditions, e.g., 25°C / 90+% RH, 40°C / 75% RH, etc. For example, dry powder samples of the free base and salt forms disclosed herein can have less than 10%, less than 5%, and less than 1% change in purity or morphology when stored under ambient or stress conditions (e.g., elevated temperature, e.g., 40°C, and / or humidity).
[0182] The solution-phase compositions of the free base and salts can be maintained / stored in an open or closed environment, such as an open or closed flask / vial, under ambient or stress conditions, e.g., 25°C / 90+% RH, 40°C / 75% RH, etc., without significant decomposition. Thus, in some embodiments, the present disclosure provides stable solution-phase compositions of the free base and salt forms of the compound of Formula (I) (e.g., stable solvates of the free base or salt form of the compound of Formula (I) in a solvated form, preferably a fully solvated form), that can be stored for extended periods of time as a solution, e.g., in the form of an aqueous solution, an organic solvent solution, or an aqueous-organic solvent mixture, without significant decomposition or physical changes, such as oiling of the solution. The solvent that can be used to form the solution-phase composition can be any one or more of the solvents described herein, e.g., water, ethanol, fruit juice, etc. In some embodiments, the solution-phase composition is an aqueous-phase composition comprising the free base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) solvated with water (and optionally containing other components, such as those found in fruit juice). The identification of stable solution phase compositions of compounds of Formula (I) and their salts is advantageous at least because such compositions do not need to be used immediately after preparation, e.g., within 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, 45 seconds, 30 seconds, 15 seconds, or 10 seconds after preparation. Instead, the stable solution phase compositions of compounds of Formula (I) and their salts described herein can be prepared in advance, if desired, and optionally stored, and can be administered within hours, days, or even weeks after preparation without substantially affecting efficacy, e.g., without significant degradation of the psilocin or psilocin-type active agent.
[0183] In some embodiments, aqueous solutions formed from pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound of Formula (I) are characterized by increased stability compared to aqueous solutions prepared from the compound of Formula (I) (free base) but otherwise substantially the same. For example, the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the compound of Formula (I) may be at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, at least 55%, at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70% or more stable in terms of percent (active) remaining in aqueous solutions exposed to 40°C for 24 hours, regardless of the presence or absence of metal ions, compared to aqueous solutions prepared using the compound of Formula (I) (free base), but otherwise substantially the same. Such improved stability behavior can also be found in pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure.
[0184] Samples are taken at predetermined time points and analyzed for stability, morphological changes, etc., e.g. 1 Analysis can be performed using H NMR, XRPD, HPLC with UV-visible multi-wavelength detector, UPLC, etc.
[0185] Physiological acceptability Suitable salt forms of the compounds of formula (I) are physiologically acceptable. Thus, preferred addition salts of compounds of formula (I) are formed with organic acids, preferably organic acids having a moderate or mild acidity, for example, a pK in water of -3.0 or more, -2.0 or more, -1.0 or more, 0 or more, 1.0 or more, 1.5 or more, 2.0 or more, 2.5 or more, 3.0 or more, 3.5 or more, 4.0 or more, 4.5 or more, for example, 3.0 to 6.5. a Furthermore, depending, for example, on the route of administration and the optional use of taste-masking agents such as sweeteners, flavorings, etc., it may be desirable to use acid addition salts that impart a pleasant taste profile (e.g., sweet, citrusy, etc.), while unpleasant-tasting salt forms (e.g., bitter, astringent, etc.) may still be acceptable.

The pharmaceutical compositions may contain one or more compounds, salt forms, polymorphs, stereoisomers, and / or solvates of the present disclosure.
[0234] Pharmaceutical compositions may comprise a single compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, or a mixture of compounds of Formula (I), either in free base or salt form, including one or more polymorphs of such materials.

In some embodiments, a composition, medicament, or method of treatment can involve combining separately produced R- and S-stereoisomers of a compound in an approximately equal molar ratio (e.g., about 48 to 52%). In some embodiments, a medicament or pharmaceutical composition can include a mixture of different ratios of R- and S-stereoisomers of distinct compounds. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition contains an excess (greater than 50%) of the R-enantiomer. Suitable R / S molar ratios can be about 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 10:1, or higher. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can contain an excess of the S-enantiomer, reversing the provided ratio of R / S. Other suitable amounts of R / S can also be selected. For example, the R-enantiomer can be enriched, e.g., at least about 55% to 100%, or at least 65%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, about 95%, about 98%, or 100%.

For example, the pharmaceutical composition may comprise the free base of the compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the free base of the compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in crystalline form, as determined, for example, by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a highly pure crystalline form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I). For example, the pharmaceutical composition may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula (I), wherein at least 90%, at least 95%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in crystalline form as determined, for example, by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC.
[0239] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an amorphous form of the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof). In some embodiments, only the amorphous form of the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) is present in the pharmaceutical composition; e.g., no crystalline form of the compound of Formula (I) is detected, e.g., by XRPD. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a highly pure amorphous form of the compound of Formula (I) as the free base. For example, the pharmaceutical composition may comprise the free base of the compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 96%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the free base of the compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in amorphous form, as determined, e.g., by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a highly pure amorphous form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I). For example, the pharmaceutical composition may comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I), wherein at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 96%, at least 98%, at least 99%, or at least 99.5% by weight of the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) present in the pharmaceutical composition is in amorphous form as determined, for example, by X-ray powder diffraction and / or mDSC.
[0240] In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) is chemically pure, e.g., has a chemical purity of greater than 90%, 92%, 94%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or 99% by HPLC. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) has no single impurity of greater than 1%, greater than 0.5%, greater than 0.4%, greater than 0.3%, or greater than 0.2% as measured by HPLC. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) has a chemical purity of greater than 97 area%, greater than 98 area%, or greater than 99 area% by HPLC. In some embodiments, the compound of formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) has no more than 1 area%, more than 0.5 area%, more than 0.4 area%, more than 0.3 area%, or more than 0.2 area% of a single impurity as measured by HPLC.
[0241] Generally, pharmaceutical compositions containing about 0.1 to about 1000 mg, about 1 to about 500 mg, about 2 to about 100 mg, about 1 mg, about 2 mg, about 3 mg, about 5 mg, about 10 mg, about 20 mg, about 30 mg, about 40 mg, about 50 mg, about 100 mg, or about 500 mg of one or more compounds disclosed herein as active pharmaceutical ingredients (API), either in free base or salt form, may be provided herein. The amount of the compound of Formula (I) (on an active basis) in a unit dose preparation may be varied or adjusted within the above ranges as deemed appropriate, using sound medical judgment, depending on the particular application, route of administration, potency of the active ingredient, and the like. The compositions may also contain other compatible therapeutic agents, if desired.
[0242] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least 0.1%, at least 0.5%, at least 1%, at least 5%, at least 10%, at least 15%, at least 20%, at least 25%, at least 30%, at least 35%, at least 40%, at least 45%, at least 50%, and up to 99.9%, up to 99.5%, up to 99%, up to 98%, up to 97%, up to 95%, up to 90%, up to 85%, up to 80%, up to 75%, up to 70%, up to 65%, up to 60%, up to 55%, or any range therebetween, by weight of a compound of Formula (I) (on an active form basis), based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition (or on a dry weight basis). A dry weight basis may refer to a pharmaceutical composition that is a solid dosage form, or a liquid dosage form, after subtracting the weight contribution from water or other pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous medium (e.g., fruit juice).
[0243] In addition to the compound of formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate, the pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure also includes a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle. A "pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle" may be a solvent approved by a federal or state government regulatory agency or listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia or other generally recognized pharmacopeia for use in mammals, such as humans. The term "vehicle" refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or carrier in which the compound of the present disclosure is formulated for administration to a mammal. Such a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle may be solid or liquid. Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include water, saline, juices, including fruit juices (e.g., orange juice such as Tang's, grape juice, apple juice, cranberry juice, pineapple juice, etc.), oils of petroleum, animal, vegetable, or synthetic origin, such as peanut oil, soybean oil, mineral oil, sesame oil, etc., acacia gum, gelatin, starch paste, talc, keratin, colloidal silica, urea, etc. Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles include, but are not limited to, adjuvants, stabilizers, solubilizers, thickeners, lubricants, binders, granulators, bulking agents, diluents, disintegrants, humectants, glidants, anti-caking agents, colorants, sweeteners, dye flow inhibitors, preservatives, antioxidants, cryoprotectants, complexing agents, flavoring agents, matrix formers, performance modifiers, sustained-release polymers, solvents, pH adjusters, carbon dioxide sources, or other pharmaceutical excipients described herein.
[0244] Among these pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, some organic acids have been identified as providing both stabilizing and solubilizing functions to the psilocin and deuterated psilocin compounds of the present disclosure (e.g., the compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof), thereby improving the delivery and therapeutic properties of the dosage forms of the present disclosure. These organic acid vehicles, which provide inherent stabilizing and solubilizing effects (acting as stabilizers / solubilizers), may be referred to herein as "organic acid agents." In a preferred embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises the compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and an organic acid agent. The pharmaceutical composition may optionally be formulated with other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, if necessary or desired.
[0245] In some embodiments, a solid dosage form is formulated with an organic acid agent, in which case the organic acid agent is considered to be separate and distinct from the compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof. That is, when formulated into a solid dosage form, the organic acid agent is not considered to form a salt with the compound of Formula (I). For example, in embodiments where the pharmaceutical composition is a solid dosage form formulated with the free base of the compound of Formula (I), the organic acid agent is not considered to form an addition salt with the compound of Formula (I); instead, the compound of Formula (I) remains as a free base, at least until dissolved / disintegrated in an appropriate medium (e.g., water, juice, saline, saliva, etc.). In another example, when a pharmaceutical composition is formulated using a salt form of the compound of Formula (I), the organic acid agent remains separate from the salt form and provides a stabilizing / solubilizing effect that exceeds the effect provided by the salt form of the compound of Formula (I).
[0246] The organic acid agent may be any organic acid described herein and may be a mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, or more acid group. One organic acid agent or a mixture of organic acid agents may be used. In addition to an acid group (e.g., one or more carboxylic acid moieties), the organic acid agent may also contain one or more hydroxyl functional groups as part of its structure (i.e., the organic acid agent may be a hydroxy acid). In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is an alpha-hydroxy acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is a beta-hydroxy acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is a gamma-hydroxy acid. Examples of hydroxy acids include, but are not limited to, glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is citric acid and / or tartaric acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is citric acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is tartaric acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is an enedioic acid, examples of which include, but are not limited to, fumaric acid and maleic acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is fumaric acid. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is maleic acid. Mixtures and / or hydrates of the disclosed organic acid agents may also be used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is not a sulfonic acid (e.g., benzenesulfonic acid, camphorsulfonic acid, (+)-(1S)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid, ethane-1,2-disulfonic acid, ethanesulfonic acid, 2-hydroxy-ethanesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid, naphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, ethanedisulfonic acid, etc.). In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is not a benzoic acid (e.g., benzoic acid, 4-acetamidobenzoic acid, 2-acetoxybenzoic acid, salicylic acid, 4-amino-salicylic acid, gentisic acid, etc.).
[0247] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises at least 0.5%, at least 1%, at least 2%, at least 3%, at least 4%, at least 5%, at least 6%, at least 7%, at least 8%, at least 9%, at least 10%, at least 11%, at least 12%, at least 13%, at least 14%, at least 15%, and up to 60%, up to 55%, up to 50%, up to 45%, up to 40%, up to 35%, up to 30%, up to 27%, up to 25%, up to 23%, up to 20%, up to 18%, up to 16%, or any range therebetween, by weight of an organic acid agent, based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition (or on a dry weight basis). For example, the pharmaceutical composition may contain 5% to 40% by weight of the organic acid agent, or 10% to 30% by weight of the organic agent, or 15% to 20% by weight of the organic acid agent, based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition (or on a dry weight basis). A dry weight basis may refer to a pharmaceutical composition that is in solid or liquid dosage form, after subtracting the weight contribution from water or other pharmaceutically acceptable aqueous medium (e.g., fruit juice).
[0248] In some embodiments, the weight ratio (active basis) of the organic acid agent to the compound of Formula (I) is from 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 2.5:1, 3:1, 3.5:1, 4:1, 4.5:1, 5:1 up to 20:1, up to 15:1, up to 10:1, up to 9:1, up to 8:1, up to 7:1, up to 6:1, or any range therebetween.
[0249] When a pharmaceutical composition is formulated containing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), the acid used to form the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) and the organic acid agent (vehicle) may be the same. For example, the pharmaceutical composition may contain a tartrate salt of a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., I-1b, I-2b, I-3b, I-4b, I-5b, I-6b, I-7b, I-8b, I-9b, and / or I-10b) and tartaric acid as the organic acid agent (vehicle). In another example, the pharmaceutical composition may contain a citrate salt of a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., I-1e, I-2e, I-3e, I-4e, I-5e, I-6e, I-7e, I-8e, I-9e, and / or I-10e) and citric acid as the organic acid agent (vehicle).
[0250] When a pharmaceutical composition is formulated containing a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound of Formula (I), the acid used to form the pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula (I) and the organic acid agent (vehicle) may be different. For example, the pharmaceutical composition may contain a benzenesulfonic acid salt of a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., I-1a, I-2a, I-3a, I-4a, I-5a, I-6a, I-7a, I-8a, I-9a, and / or I-10a) and citric acid and / or tartaric acid as an organic acid agent (vehicle). In another example, the pharmaceutical composition may contain a benzoic acid salt of a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., I-1j, I-2j, I-3j, I-4j, I-5j, I-6j, I-7j, I-8j, I-9j, and / or I-10j) and citric acid and / or tartaric acid as an organic acid agent (vehicle).
[0251] Any of the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein formulated with an organic acid agent may contain an uncoated organic acid agent, or may contain an organic acid agent coated with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle (coated organic acid agent). Examples of coated organic acid agents are described below.
[0252] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be administered at once or at intervals of several times.It is understood that the exact dosage and duration of treatment can vary according to the age, weight and condition of the patient being treated, and can be empirically determined by using known test protocols or by extrapolating from in vivo or in vitro test or diagnostic data.It is understood that for any specific individual, specific dosage regimen should be adjusted over time according to individual need and the professional judgment of the person who manages or supervises the administration of the preparation.
[0253] If the patient's condition does not improve, at the physician's discretion, the compounds may be administered chronically, i.e., over an extended period throughout the patient's life, to ameliorate or otherwise control or limit the symptoms of the patient's disease or condition.
[0254] If the patient's condition improves, the compound may be continued or temporarily discontinued for a period of time (i.e., a "drug holiday"), at the physician's discretion.
[0255] Once the patient's condition improves, a maintenance dose is administered as needed.Then, the dose or the frequency of administration, or both, can be reduced depending on the symptoms, until the improved condition is maintained.However, the patient may need to be treated intermittently for a long period of time if symptoms recur.
[0256] The pharmaceutical composition may take the form of capsules, tablets, pills, pellets, lozenges, powders, granules, syrups, elixirs, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, suppositories, or sustained-release formulations thereof, or any other form suitable for administration to mammals. Administration of the subject compound may be systemic or local. In some cases, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated for administration to humans orally, intravenously, or intradermally, or as a pharmaceutical composition adapted for other administration routes, according to routine procedures. Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles and their formulation methods are described in Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Alfonso R. Gennaro ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 19th ed., 1995, Chapters 86, 87, 88, 91, and 92, which are incorporated herein by reference. The choice of vehicle will be determined in part by the specific compound, salt form, and the specific method used to administer the composition. Accordingly, there are a wide variety of suitable formulations for the subject pharmaceutical composition. Liquid form preparations include solutions and emulsions, for example, water, water / propylene glycol solution or organic solvent.When administered to mammals, the compounds and compositions of the present disclosure and pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles can be sterilized.In some cases, for example, when the subject compound is administered orally, intravenously or intradermally, aqueous media such as water, saline, fruit juice and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solution are used as vehicles.
[0257] Any of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein may comprise (as an active ingredient) at least one compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof. As described below, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds disclosed herein may be formulated in a variety of dosage forms, and may be specifically formulated for administration in solid, semi-solid, or liquid form, including those compatible with the following: A. Oral administration, e.g., drenches (aqueous or non-aqueous solutions or suspensions), tablets, films, or capsules, e.g., those targeted for buccal, sublingual, and systemic absorption, boluses, powders, granules, syrups, pastes for application to the tongue; B. Parenteral administration, e.g., by subcutaneous, intradermal, intramuscular, intravenous, or epidural injection, e.g., as a sterile solution or suspension, or sustained-release formulation; C. Topical / transdermal administration, e.g., creams, ointments, or controlled-release patches or sprays applied to the skin, or to orifices and / or mucosal surfaces such as in the vagina or rectum, e.g., pessaries, creams, or foams; D. Modified-release dosage forms, such as delayed-, extended-, prolonged-, prolonged-, sustained-, pulsatile-, controlled-, accelerated-, fast-, targeted-, programmed-, etc., modified-release dosage forms and gastroretentive dosage forms, can be prepared according to conventional methods and techniques known to those skilled in the art (see Remington: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, supra; Modified-Release Drug Delivery Technology, Rathbone et al., Eds., Drugs and the Pharmaceutical Science, Marcel Dekker, Inc.: New York, NY, 2002; Vol. 126).
[0258] Tamper-resistant dosage forms / packaging of any of the disclosed pharmaceutical compositions are contemplated.
[0259] A. Oral administration The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be provided in solid, semi-solid or liquid dosage forms for oral administration.As used herein, oral administration includes, for example, enteral delivery, in which the drug is taken orally and swallowed, and oral administration through the mucosal lining of the oral cavity, for example, buccal, lingual and sublingual administration.Suitable oral dosage forms include, but are not limited to, tablets, capsules, pills, troches, lozenges, pastilles, cachets, pellets, medicated chewing gum, granules, bulk powders, effervescent or non-effervescent dosage forms (for example, effervescent or non-effervescent tablets, films, powders or granules), solutions, emulsions, suspensions, solutions, wafers, films, sprinkles, elixirs and syrups. In addition to the active ingredient(s), the pharmaceutical compositions may contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., carriers or excipients), including, but not limited to, adjuvants, stabilizers, solubilizers, thickeners, lubricants, binders, granulators, bulking agents, diluents, disintegrants, wetting agents, glidants, anti-caking agents, colorants, sweeteners, dye flow inhibitors, preservatives, antioxidants, cryoprotectants, complexing agents, flavoring agents, matrix-forming agents, performance modifiers, sustained-release polymers, solvents, pH adjusters, and carbon dioxide sources. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle comprises an organic acid agent, which, as discussed herein, has been found to offer unique advantages as both a stabilizer and a solubilizer, aiding in release from the dosage forms of the present disclosure and providing stabilization of the compounds herein.
[0260] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure may be orodispersible dosage forms (ODx), including sublingual dosage forms, such as orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) (sometimes referred to as rapid disintegrating tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, or rapidly dispersing tablets), or orodispersible films (ODFs) (or wafers). Such dosage forms may be particularly advantageous in the present disclosure, for example, when administered intraorally through the mucosal lining of the oral cavity, e.g., buccal, lingual, and sublingual administration, because they provide increased bioavailability and a more rapid onset of action compared to oral administration via the gastrointestinal tract, allowing pregastric absorption of the compounds / salts herein. Furthermore, orodispersible dosage forms may be advantageous for treating pediatric / adolescent patients or for treating patients who generally have difficulty swallowing conventional dosage forms, such as regular tablets or capsules.
[0261] In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form (ODx) is a sublingual dosage form that disintegrates / dissolves under the tongue, whereby the contents (e.g., a compound of the present disclosure) are absorbed through the mucous membrane under the tongue and enter the venous circulation there. In some embodiments, the sublingual dosage form disintegrates / dissolves under the tongue, whereby when mixed with saliva, it is converted into a liquid or semi-solid dosage form, such as a solution, syrup, or paste, which is then swallowed. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form (ODx) is an oral dosage form that disintegrates / dissolves in the oral cavity, whereby the contents (e.g., a compound of the present disclosure) are absorbed through the mucous membrane under the tongue and enter the venous circulation there. In some embodiments, the oral dosage form disintegrates / dissolves in the oral cavity, whereby when mixed with saliva, it is converted into a liquid or semi-solid dosage form, such as a solution, syrup, or paste, which is then swallowed. In addition to the active ingredient(s), the pharmaceutical composition in orodispersible dosage form (ODx) may include one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., binders, fillers, diluents, disintegrants, cryoprotectants, preservatives, antioxidants, stabilizers, solubilizers, flavoring agents, carbon dioxide sources, bioadhesives, etc., and / or any other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle described herein, with specific mention of organic acid agents).
[0262] Orodispersible dosage forms can be prepared by various techniques, such as, for example, freeze drying (lyophilization), molding, spray drying, mass extrusion, or compression. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form is prepared by freeze-drying. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form disintegrates in less than about 90 seconds, less than about 60 seconds, less than about 30 seconds, less than about 20 seconds, less than about 10 seconds, less than about 5 seconds, or less than about 2 seconds after being received in the oral cavity. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form dissolves in less than about 90 seconds, less than about 60 seconds, or less than about 30 seconds after being received in the oral cavity. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form disperses in less than about 90 seconds, less than about 60 seconds, less than about 30 seconds, less than about 20 seconds, less than about 10 seconds, less than about 5 seconds, or less than about 2 seconds after being received in the oral cavity. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition has a disintegration test of about 30 seconds or less, about 20 seconds or less, about 10 seconds or less, about 5 seconds or less, or about 2 seconds or less in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). <701> The disintegration time is in the form of an orodispersible dosage form such as an orally disintegrating tablet (ODT) that conforms to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Disintegration Test. <701> In accordance with the above, orodispersible dosage forms having longer disintegration times, e.g., 2 minutes, 3 minutes, 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes, 25 minutes, 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes, or any range therebetween, or longer, are also contemplated, e.g., when adapted for sustained release.
[0263] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a sublingual tablet prepared by direct compression, compression molding, or lyophilization. In some embodiments, the sublingual tablet is produced by direct compression, whereby a directly compressible pharmaceutical vehicle, such as an organic acid agent (optionally coated), a binder, a filler, or a lubricant, is mixed with the compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and compressed into a tablet by direct compression. In some embodiments, the sublingual tablet contains one or more binders / fillers / diluents, such as lactose, mannitol, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), etc. In some embodiments, the sublingual tablet contains a lubricant, such as magnesium stearate. Other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, such as soluble excipients, dry binders, pH adjusters / buffers, surfactants, sweeteners, and flavoring agents, may also be used. Non-limiting examples of sublingual tablet formulations include a compound of Formula (I) (or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof), an organic acid agent such as citric acid (which may optionally be coated), lactose, mannitol, PVP, and magnesium stearate, and optionally one or more additional pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles described herein.
[0264] In some embodiments, the sublingual tablet may comprise a single layer, a double layer, or a triple layer. In some embodiments, the single-layer sublingual tablet contains an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid). In some embodiments, the single-layer sublingual tablet is effervescent and formulated using an "effervescent couple," i.e., formulated using a combination of an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source. In some embodiments, the double-layer sublingual tablet contains one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid) in a first layer and an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) in a second layer. The second layer may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. This configuration allows the active ingredient to be stored separately from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicle compared to when the vehicle and active ingredient are contained in a single layer, which in some instances may increase the stability of the active ingredient and potentially increase the shelf life of the composition. In some embodiments, the bilayer sublingual tablet is an effervescent sublingual tablet, whereby the first layer is effervescent and comprises an effervescent couple and, optionally, other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles; the second layer comprises an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and, optionally, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles; the second layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent. For trilayer sublingual tablets, each layer may be different, or two of the layers, e.g., the upper and lower layers, may have substantially the same composition. In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers surround a core layer containing the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof). In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers may contain one or more vehicle components, such as, for example, a solubilizer, a stabilizer, etc. (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid).In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers have the same composition. Alternatively, the lower and upper layers may contain different vehicles, or different amounts of the same vehicle. The core layer typically contains an active ingredient, optionally with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. As described above, the configuration of such a tri-layer sublingual tablet allows the active ingredient to be kept separate from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicles. In some embodiments, the tri-layer sublingual tablet is an effervescent sublingual tablet, whereby at least one, at least two, or all three of the layers are effervescent (formulated using an effervescent couple). In some embodiments, the bottom and top layers are effervescent and comprise an organic acid agent (e.g., citric acid), a carbon dioxide source, and optionally other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer comprises an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent.
[0265] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of a lyophilized orodispersible dosage form, such as a lyophilized ODT. In some embodiments, the lyophilized orodispersible dosage form (e.g., a lyophilized ODT) is prepared by sublimating water from a pre-frozen aqueous formulation of the drug, which contains a matrix-forming agent and other solvents as described herein, such as one or more lyoprotectants, preservatives, antioxidants, stabilizers, solubilizers, flavoring agents, etc. In some embodiments, the orodispersible dosage form comprises a two-component framework of a lyophilized matrix system that cooperates to ensure successful formulation development. In some embodiments, the first component is a water-soluble polymer, such as gelatin, dextran, alginate, and maltodextrin. This component maintains shape and provides mechanical strength to the dosage form (binder). In some embodiments, the second component is a matrix support / disintegration promoter, such as sucrose, lactose, mannitol, xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium diphosphate, and / or starch, which acts by adhering the porous framework provided by the water-soluble polymer and promoting the disintegration of the orodispersible dosage form. In some embodiments, the freeze-dried orodispersible dosage form (e.g., freeze-dried ODT) comprises gelatin and mannitol. In some embodiments, the freeze-dried orodispersible dosage form (e.g., freeze-dried ODT) comprises gelatin, mannitol, and one or more cryoprotectants, preservatives, antioxidants, stabilizers, solubilizers, flavoring agents, and / or other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles described herein, with specific mention of organic acid agents (e.g., citric acid). A non-limiting example of an ODT formulation is Zydis® orally dispersible tablets (available from Catalent).In some embodiments, the ODT formulation (e.g., Zydis® orally dispersible tablets) comprises one or more water-soluble polymers, such as gelatin, one or more matrix materials, fillers, or diluents, such as mannitol, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and optionally a cryoprotectant, preservative, antioxidant, stabilizer, solubilizer, flavoring agent, and / or another pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle described herein. In some embodiments, the ODT formulation (e.g., Zydis® orally dispersible tablets) comprises gelatin, mannitol, a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and citric acid and / or tartaric acid.
[0266] In some embodiments, the ODT can comprise a single layer, a double layer, or a triple layer. In some embodiments, the single layer ODT contains an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid). In some embodiments, the single layer ODT is effervescent and formulated using an "effervescent couple," i.e., formulated using a combination of an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source. In some embodiments, the double layer ODT contains one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid) in a first layer and an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) in a second layer. The second layer may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. This configuration allows the active ingredient to be stored separately from all or a particular pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicle compared to when the vehicle and active ingredient are contained in a single layer, which in some instances may increase the stability of the active ingredient and potentially increase the shelf life of the composition. In some embodiments, the bilayer ODT is an effervescent ODT, whereby the first layer is effervescent and comprises an effervescent couple and, optionally, another pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, and the second layer comprises the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and, optionally, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles), and the second layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent. For a three-layer ODT, each layer may be different and Two of the layers, e.g., the upper and lower layers, may have substantially the same composition. In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers surround a core layer containing an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof). In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers may contain one or more vehicle components, e.g., a solubilizer, a stabilizer, etc. (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid). In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers have the same composition.Alternatively, the lower and upper layers may contain different vehicles, or different amounts of the same vehicle. The core layer typically contains an active ingredient, optionally with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. As discussed above, the configuration of such a three-layer ODT keeps the active ingredient separate from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicles. In some embodiments, the three-layer ODT is an effervescent ODT, whereby at least one, at least two, or all three of the layers are effervescent (formulated with an effervescent couple). In some embodiments, the bottom and top layers are effervescent and comprise an organic acid agent (e.g., citric acid), a carbon dioxide source, and optionally other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer comprises an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent.

In some embodiments, the ODF comprises a two-component framework of a freeze-dried matrix system that cooperates to ensure successful formulation development. In some embodiments, the first component is a water-soluble polymer, such as gelatin, dextran, alginate, and maltodextrin. This component maintains shape and provides mechanical strength to the film / wafer (binder). In some embodiments, the second component is a matrix support / disintegration promoter, such as sucrose, lactose, mannitol, xylitol, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium diphosphate, and / or starch, which acts by adhering the porous framework provided by the water-soluble polymer and promoting disintegration of the wafer. In some embodiments, the freeze-dried ODF includes gelatin and mannitol. In some embodiments, the freeze-dried ODF includes gelatin, mannitol, and one or more cryoprotectants, preservatives, antioxidants, stabilizers, solubilizers, flavoring agents, and / or other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles described herein, with specific mention of organic acid agents (e.g., citric acid).

The second layer may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. This configuration allows the active ingredient to be stored separately from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicle compared to when the vehicle and active ingredient are contained in a single layer, which in some instances may increase the stability of the active ingredient and potentially increase the shelf life of the composition. In some embodiments, the bilayer ODF (or wafer) is an effervescent ODF (or wafer), whereby the first layer is effervescent and comprises an effervescent couple and, optionally, other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles; and the second layer comprises an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and, optionally, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles), wherein the second layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent. For a three-layer ODF (or wafer), each layer may be different, or two of the layers, e.g., the top and bottom layers, may have substantially the same composition. In some embodiments, the bottom and top layers surround a core layer containing the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof).In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers may contain one or more vehicle components (e.g., organic acid agents such as citric acid), such as solubilizers, stabilizers, etc. In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers have the same composition. Alternatively, the lower and upper layers may contain different vehicles, or different amounts of the same vehicle. The core layer typically contains an active ingredient, optionally with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. As described above, the construction of such a three-layer ODF (or wafer) keeps the active ingredient separate from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicles. In some embodiments, the three-layer ODF (or wafer) is an effervescent ODF (or wafer), whereby at least one, at least two, or all three of the layers are effervescent (formulated using an effervescent couple).

[0293] In some embodiments, tablets (e.g., conventional tablets, including compressed tablets) may comprise a single layer, a double layer, or a triple layer. In some embodiments, a single-layer tablet contains an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid). In some embodiments, a single-layer tablet is effervescent and is formulated with an effervescent couple. In some embodiments, a double-layer tablet contains one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid) in a first layer and an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) in a second layer. The second layer may optionally contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. This configuration allows the active ingredient to be stored separately from all or a particular pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicle compared to when the vehicle and active ingredient are contained in a single layer, which in some cases may increase the stability of the active ingredient and possibly increase the shelf life of the composition. In some embodiments, the bilayer tablet is an effervescent tablet, whereby the first layer is effervescent and comprises an effervescent couple and, optionally, another pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, and the second layer comprises the active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and, optionally, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the second layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent. For trilayer tablets, each layer may be different, or Two of the layers, for example, the upper and lower layers, may have substantially the same composition. In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers surround a core layer containing an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof). In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers may contain one or more vehicle components, such as, for example, a solubilizer, a stabilizer, etc. (e.g., an organic acid agent such as citric acid). In some embodiments, the lower and upper layers have the same composition.Alternatively, the lower and upper layers may contain different vehicles, or different amounts of the same vehicle. The core layer typically contains an active ingredient, optionally with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. As noted above, such trilayer tablet configurations keep the active ingredient separate from all or certain pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, minimizing or completely preventing contact between the active ingredient and the vehicles. In some embodiments, the trilayer tablet is an effervescent tablet, whereby at least one, at least two, or all three of the layers are effervescent (formulated with an effervescent couple). In some embodiments, the bottom and top layers are effervescent and comprise an organic acid agent (e.g., citric acid), a carbon dioxide source, and optionally other pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer comprises an active ingredient (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof, and optionally one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, and the core layer is either non-effervescent or effervescent.
[0294] It should be understood that many solvents (carriers, excipients, etc.) can serve multiple functions, even within the same formulation. Specific reference is made herein to pharmaceutical compositions containing organic acid agents that can serve multiple roles, for example, as stabilizers to stabilize the silosin compounds of the present disclosure in free base or salt form, as solubilizers to rapidly dissolve active substances to provide rapid onset of action, particularly for dosage forms adapted for rapid onset and short duration of drug action, such as orally dispersible dosage forms (e.g., ODTs and ODFs), as flavoring agents, pH adjusters, and / or antioxidants.
[0295] Tablet dosage forms can be prepared from the active ingredient in powdered, crystalline, or granular form, alone or in combination with one or more vehicles (e.g., carriers or excipients) described herein, including binders, disintegrants, sustained-release polymers, pH adjusters, lubricants, diluents, and / or coloring agents. Flavoring and sweetening agents are particularly useful in the formation of chewable tablets and lozenges.
[0296] The pharmaceutical compositions herein may be in the form of compressed tablets, tablet triturates, chewable lozenges, rapid-dissolving tablets, multiple compressed tablets, or any of the above-mentioned coated forms, such as enteric-coated tablets, sugar-coated tablets, or film-coated tablets. Coated tablets are tablets coated with one or more layers of a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, or a mixture of vehicles, such as natural or synthetic resins, polymers, gums, fillers, sugars, plasticizers, polyols, waxes, organic bases, coloring substances approved by appropriate national or regional authorities, and flavoring substances. Such coating materials generally do not contain any active ingredient, such as the compounds described herein (e.g., the compound of Formula (I) or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, polymorphs, stereoisomers, or solvates). Tablets may be coated for various reasons, such as to protect the active ingredient from burst release from the matrix, air, moisture, or light, to mask unpleasant tastes and odors, or to improve appearance. The coating material may be applied as a solution or suspension. Enteric-coated tablets are compressed tablets coated with a substance that resists the action of stomach acid but dissolves or disintegrates in the intestine, thus protecting the active ingredients from the acidic stomach environment. Enteric coatings include, but are not limited to, fatty acids, fats, phenyl salicylates, waxes, shellac, ammoniated shellac, and cellulose acetate phthalate. Sugar-coated tablets are compressed tablets surrounded by a sugar coating, which may be beneficial for masking unpleasant tastes or odors and protecting the tablets from oxidation. Film-coated tablets are compressed tablets covered with a thin layer or film of a water-soluble material. Film coatings include, but are not limited to, hydroxyethylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol 4000, and cellulose acetate phthalate. Film coatings impart the same general properties as sugar coatings. Multiple-compressed tablets are compressed tablets produced using multiple compression cycles and include layered tablets, compression-coated tablets, and dry-coated tablets.
[0297] In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition (e.g., a tablet composition formulated for oral administration, such as a monolayer tablet composition) comprises any of the compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and a polymer.
[0298] In some embodiments, the tablet composition is a modified release tablet adapted for sustained release, for example, maximum sustained release.In some embodiments, in the formulations of the present disclosure, the release duration of any of the compounds described herein (e.g., compounds of formula (I), or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, polymorphs, stereoisomers or solvates) is more than 4 hours, more than 6 hours, more than 8 hours, more than 10 hours, more than 12 hours, more than 16 hours, more than 20 hours, more than 24 hours, more than 28 hours, more than 32 hours, more than 36 hours, more than 48 hours.
[0299] In some embodiments, the tablet composition is adapted for tamper resistance. In some embodiments, the tablet composition comprises polyethylene oxide (PEO) of about 2,000 to about 7,000 KDa MW, e.g., in combination with HPMC. In some embodiments, the tablet composition may further comprise polyethylene glycol (PEG), e.g., PEG 8,000. In some embodiments, the tablet composition may further comprise a polymer carrying one or more negatively charged groups, e.g., polyacrylic acid. In some embodiments, the tablet composition comprising PEO is further subjected to heating / annealing, e.g., extrusion conditions.
[0300] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a combination of (i) a water-insoluble, neutrally charged non-ionic matrix, (ii) a polymer carrying one or more negatively charged groups, and (iii) any of the compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof).
[0301] In some embodiments, the polymer carrying one or more negatively charged groups is selected from the group consisting of polyacrylic acid, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polymethacrylate carboxylate, cation exchange resin, clay, zeolite, hyaluronic acid, anionic gums, salts thereof, or mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the anionic gum is selected from the group consisting of naturally occurring substances and semi-synthetic substances. In some embodiments, the naturally occurring substances are selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, pectin, xanthan gum, carrageenan, locust bean gum, gum arabic, gum karaya, guar gum, and gum tragacanth. In some embodiments, the semi-synthetic substances are selected from the group consisting of carboxymethyl-chitin and cellulose gum.
[0302] Furthermore, without intending to be bound by theory, in some embodiments, the role played by a polymer bearing one or more negatively charged groups, e.g., a moiety of acidic nature such as the acidic polymers described herein, surprisingly results in significant retention of any of the compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) in the matrix. In some embodiments, this negative charge can be generated in situ, for example, based on the release of a proton due to the pKa and under certain pH conditions, or through electrostatic interactions / negative charge generation. It is further noted that the acidic polymer can be a salt of a corresponding weak acid that becomes the relevant protonated acid in the stomach. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this may neutralize the charge and reduce the interaction of any of the compounds described herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) with the matrix. Additionally, the release matrix may be further complemented with other inert pharmaceutical ingredients to aid in the preparation of a suitable solid dosage form, such as fillers, disintegrants, flow improvers, lubricants, colorants, taste masking agents, etc.
[0303] In some embodiments, the water-insoluble, neutrally charged nonionic matrix is selected from a cellulosic polymer such as HPMC, alone or reinforced by blending with a member selected from the group consisting of starch, wax, neutral gum, polymethacrylate, PVA, PVA / PVP blends, and mixtures thereof. In some embodiments, the cellulosic polymer is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC).
[0304] In some embodiments, the cellulose-based polymer is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). In some embodiments, the tablet composition comprises about 1 wt%, about 5 wt%, about 10 wt%, about 20 wt%, about 30 wt%, about 40 wt%, about 50 wt%, about 60 wt%, about 70 wt%, about 80 wt%, or any range therebetween, based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises, for example, about 1 wt%, about 5 wt%, about 10 wt%, about 15 wt%, about 20 wt%, about 25 wt%, about 30 wt%, about 35 wt%, about 40 wt%, about 45 wt%, about 50 wt%, or any range therebetween, based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition, starch. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical product comprises a combination of HPMC and starch.
[0305] Disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions in modified release dosage forms comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more controlled-release vehicles described herein. Suitable controlled-release vehicles include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic or hydrophobic matrix devices, water-soluble separating layer coatings, enteric coatings, osmotic devices, multiparticulate devices, and combinations thereof. The pharmaceutical composition may also comprise a non-controlled-release vehicle.
[0306] In some embodiments, oral pharmaceutical compositions aimed at low-dose maintenance therapy may be formulated using compounds described herein that utilize their ability to bind anionic polymers.
[0307] Additionally, disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions in enteric-coated dosage forms comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more controlled-release vehicles for use in enteric-coated dosage forms. The pharmaceutical composition may also include a non-controlled-release vehicle.
[0308] Further disclosed herein are pharmaceutical compositions in an effervescent dosage form comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles, which can be controlled-release vehicles and / or non-controlled-release vehicles. By effervescent, we mean that the dosage form releases gas when mixed with a liquid, including water, juice, saliva, and the like. Generally, the effervescent dosage forms of the present disclosure comprise an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source, referred to herein as an "effervescent couple." Such effervescent dosage forms effervescent (gas-releasing) through a chemical reaction between the organic acid agent and the carbon dioxide source. Effervescence occurs upon exposure to an aqueous environment, e.g., when placed in water, juice, or other drinkable liquid, or from the aqueous environment in the oral cavity, e.g., saliva in the mouth. Specifically, carbon dioxide gas is produced by the reaction between the organic acid agent and the carbon dioxide source upon contact with an aqueous medium, e.g., water, juice, or saliva. The use of a disintegrant is optional, however, effervescent dosage forms do not require a disintegrant as they facilitate in situ gas release, accelerating the disintegration process.
[0309] For purposes of clarity, "effervescent couple" refers to at least one organic acid agent and at least one carbon dioxide source, regardless of assembly. For example, the organic acid agent and carbon dioxide source may be mixed (as powders), layered on top of each other, agglomerated or otherwise "glued" together in the form of granules, or kept separate from each other, for example, in separate layers within a dosage form. Furthermore, the term "couple" in this context is not intended to be limited to only an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source, but is open to the inclusion of other materials unless otherwise specified. For example, an effervescent aggregate / granule made by combining (or gluing) an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source may include other vehicles, including a binder (adhesive), and the effervescent aggregate / granule may be referred to as an effervescent couple.
[0310] In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide source is sodium bicarbonate. In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide source is sodium carbonate. In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide source is potassium carbonate. In some embodiments, the carbon dioxide source is potassium bicarbonate. However, reactants that liberate oxygen or gases other than carbon dioxide and that are safe for human consumption are also contemplated for use in the disclosed effervescent dosage forms in addition to or in place of the carbon dioxide source. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that effervescence helps to rapidly disintegrate the dosage form and, for some routes of administration, such as the oral route, may help reduce the perception of grittiness by providing a distracting effervescent sensory experience.
[0311] In some embodiments, the effervescent dosage form is reconstituted in a drinkable fluid, such as water or juice, to form an oral liquid dosage form (e.g., a solution), which is then ingested. In some embodiments, the effervescent dosage form is placed in the oral cavity, where it comes into contact with an aqueous environment (saliva) and effervesces, causing disintegration / dissolution of the dosage form. Here, the contents of the effervescent dosage form are converted into a liquid or semisolid dosage form, such as a solution, syrup, or paste, by mixing with saliva, and then swallowed. Alternatively, the effervescent dosage form may be an intraoral dosage form, such as a buccal, lingual, or sublingual dosage form, where it is placed in the aqueous environment (saliva) of the oral cavity, effervescence causes disintegration / dissolution of the dosage form, and the contents are pregastricly absorbed through the oral mucosa. Such pregastric absorption may increase bioavailability and provide a rapid onset of action compared to oral administration via the digestive tract. In some embodiments, the effervescent dosage form is a sublingual dosage form that disintegrates / dissolves under the tongue, thereby allowing the contents (e.g., a compound of the present disclosure) to be absorbed through the mucous membrane under the tongue and enter the venous circulation there. In some embodiments, the effervescent dosage form is an oral dosage form that disintegrates / dissolves in the oral cavity, thereby allowing the contents (e.g., a compound of the present disclosure) to be absorbed through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and enter the venous circulation there. Because effervescent dosage forms can be reconstituted into an easy-to-swallow liquid or semi-solid dosage form or taken orally, they may be beneficial for treating pediatric / adolescent patients or patients who generally have difficulty swallowing conventional dosage forms, such as regular tablets or capsules.
[0312] When adapted for oral administration, it may be beneficial to formulate the effervescent dosage form with a bioadhesive in addition to the effervescent couple. A "bioadhesive" is a substance that promotes adhesion or attachment to a biological surface, such as a mucous membrane. For example, a bioadhesive can adhere to the biological surface when placed in contact with the surface (e.g., a mucous membrane), thereby allowing the composition of the present disclosure to adhere to the surface and promoting efficient transfer of the contents of the dosage form to the biological surface. Various polymers known in the art can be used as bioadhesives, such as polymeric substances, preferably those having an average (weight-average) molecular weight of greater than 5,000 g / mol. Preferably, such polymeric substances are capable of rapidly swelling when placed in contact with an aqueous medium, such as water or saliva, and / or are substantially insoluble in water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Examples of suitable bioadhesives include, but are not limited to, cyclodextrins, cellulose derivatives such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), methylcellulose, ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, modified cellulose gums, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC); starch derivatives such as moderately crosslinked starch, modified starch, and sodium starch glycolate; acrylic polymers such as carbomer and its derivatives (polycarbophil, Carbopol®, etc.); polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); polyethylene oxide (PEO); chitosan (poly-(D-glucosamine)); natural polymers such as gelatin, sodium alginate, and pectin; scleroglucan; xanthan gum; guar gum; polyco-(methyl vinyl ether / maleic anhydride); and croscarmellose (e.g., croscarmellose sodium). Such polymers may be crosslinked. Combinations of two or more bioadhesives may also be used.
[0313] The effervescent couple can be coated with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, such as, for example, a binder, a protective coating, e.g., a solvent protective coating, an enteric coating, an anti-caking agent, and / or a pH adjuster, to prevent premature reaction, e.g., from air, humidity, and / or other components contained in the pharmaceutical composition. Each component of the effervescent couple, e.g., the organic acid agent and / or the carbon dioxide source, can also be individually coated with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, e.g., a binder, a protective coating, e.g., a solvent protective coating, an enteric coating, an anti-caking agent, and / or a pH adjuster, to prevent premature reaction, e.g., from air, humidity, and / or other components contained in the pharmaceutical composition. The effervescent couple can also be mixed with previously lyophilized particles, e.g., one or more pharmaceutically active ingredients coated with a solvent protective coating or an enteric coating.
[0314] Effervescent dosage forms may be made by methods known to those skilled in the art including, but not limited to, slugging, direct compression, roller compaction, dry or wet granulation, melt granulation, melt granulation, vacuum granulation, and fluid bed spray granulation, any of which may optionally be followed by compression / tabletting.
[0315] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be formulated as non-effervescent or effervescent granules and powders. The non-effervescent or effervescent granules and powders may be reconstituted into a liquid dosage form or alternatively compressed to form either non-effervescent or effervescent tablet dosage forms, respectively. Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles used in non-effervescent or effervescent granules or powders include, but are not limited to, binders, granulators, fillers, diluents, sweeteners, wetting agents, stabilizers, solubilizers, anti-caking agents, pH adjusters, or any other pharmaceutical vehicle described herein. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle includes an organic acid, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, and / or maleic acid.
[0316] Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles used in effervescent granules or powders include an effervescent couple, i.e., an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source. Effervescent powders can be produced by blending or mixing an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source (the effervescent couple) with, optionally, other desired pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles. Effervescent granules can be produced by physically adhering or "gluing" the effervescent couple (organic acid agent and carbon dioxide source) together using an edible or pharmaceutically acceptable binder, including, for example, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, L-leucine, polyethylene glycol, gum arabic, and combinations thereof. These types of granules are generally made by a process known as "wet granulation." Granulation solvents, such as ethanol and / or isopropyl alcohol, are often used to aid this type of granulation process. Because the effervescent couple is physically bound together in the granules, the gas-generating reaction is usually very vigorous, leading to rapid dissolution. Another type of "wet granulation" product specific to effervescent products is known as a "fused" granule. These granules are formed by reacting an organic acid agent and a carbon dioxide source in a highly controlled manner with small amounts of water (or sometimes a hydroalcoholic granulation solvent, such as various commercial grades of ethanol or isopropyl alcohol). Because the effervescent reaction produces carbon dioxide, fused granules tend to be very porous, which reduces their density and dissolution time. Therefore, effervescent granules prepared by wet granulation or fusion processes may be desirable for making orodispersible dosage forms (ODx) or other dosage forms requiring rapid dissolution / disintegration performance. Effervescent tablet dosage forms prepared by tableting, e.g., compression, of effervescent granules or powders are also included in the present disclosure.
[0317] Further disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions in dosage forms having an immediate-release component and at least one delayed-release component, capable of discontinuously releasing a compound in at least two successive pulses separated by about 0.1 to up to about 24 hours (e.g., about 0.1, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 10, 22, or 24 hours). The pharmaceutical compositions include a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof), and one or more controlled-release and / or non-controlled-release vehicles, e.g., excipients or carriers suitable for disruptable semipermeable membranes, and swellable materials.
[0318] Also disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition in a dosage form for oral administration to a subject, comprising a compound disclosed herein (e.g., a compound of Formula (I), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, polymorph, stereoisomer, or solvate thereof), and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles (e.g., excipients or carriers), encapsulated in an intermediate reactive layer comprising a gastric juice-resistant polymeric layer material that has been partially neutralized with alkali and has cation exchange resin capacity, and a gastric juice-resistant outer layer.
[0319] The dosage form may be an immediate release (IR) dosage form, examples of which include, but are not limited to, immediate release (IR) tablets or immediate release (IR) capsules. In addition to the API, dosage forms adapted for immediate release may contain one or more pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles that readily disperse, dissolve, or disintegrate in the gastric environment so as not to delay or prolong the dissolution / absorption of the API. Examples of pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles for immediate release dosage forms include, but are not limited to, one or more adjuvants, stabilizers, solubilizers, thickeners, lubricants, binders, granulators, fillers, diluents, disintegrants, wetting agents, glidants, anti-caking agents, colorants, sweeteners, dye flow inhibitors, preservatives, antioxidants, cryoprotectants, complexing agents, flavoring agents, matrix formers, dispersing agents, and performance modifiers. In some embodiments, the immediate release (IR) dosage form is an immediate release (IR) tablet comprising one or more of microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, magnesium stearate, mannitol, crospovidone, and sodium stearyl fumarate. In some embodiments, the immediate release (IR) dosage form comprises microcrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and magnesium stearate. In some embodiments, the immediate release (IR) dosage form comprises mannitol, crospovidone, and sodium stearyl fumarate. In some embodiments, the immediate release (IR) dosage form comprises an organic acid agent.
[0320] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein may be disclosed as soft or hard capsules, which may be made from gelatin, methylcellulose, starch, or calcium alginate. Hard gelatin capsules, also known as dry-filled capsules (DFCs) or powder-filled capsules (PICs), consist of two compartments, one sliding over the other to completely enclose the active ingredient. Soft elastic capsules (SECs) are soft, spherical shells, such as gelatin shells, plasticized by the addition of glycerin, sorbitol, or similar polyols. Soft gelatin shells may contain preservatives to prevent microbial growth. Suitable preservatives include those described herein, including methylparaben, propylparaben, and sorbic acid. Liquid, semisolid, and solid dosage forms disclosed herein may be encapsulated. Suitable liquid and semisolid dosage forms include solutions and suspensions in propylene carbonate, vegetable oils, or triglycerides. The capsules may also be coated as known by those skilled in the art to modify or maintain dissolution of the active ingredient.
[0321] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is in the form of an immediate release capsule for oral administration and may further comprise cellulose, iron oxide, lactose, magnesium stearate, and sodium starch glycolate.

[0325] Any of the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein formulated with an organic acid agent may contain an uncoated organic acid agent or an organic acid agent coated with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle (coated organic acid agent). Various pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles can be used as coating materials to modify the performance of the organic acid agent and / or to prevent undesired or premature reactions with air, humidity, and / or other components contained in the pharmaceutical composition, for example, without losing the desired functionality of the organic acid agent. A coated organic acid agent may comprise a core of the organic acid agent and a thin film coating, such as a thin film powder coating or a thin film polymer coating. A coated organic acid agent may also be in the form of a core-shell material, comprising a core of the organic acid agent and a protective coating surrounding the core, such as a shell. Any of the organic acid agents disclosed herein may be coated, including, but not limited to, glycolic acid, lactic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid.
[0326] In some embodiments, the coated organic acid agent contains a coating weight of at least 0.01 wt%, at least 0.05 wt%, at least 0.1 wt%, at least 0.5 wt%, at least 1 wt%, at least 1.5 wt%, at least 2 wt%, at least 2.5 wt%, at least 3 wt%, at least 3.5 wt%, and up to 15 wt%, up to 10 wt%, up to 9 wt%, up to 8 wt%, up to 7 wt%, up to 6 wt%, up to 5 wt%, up to 4 wt%, or any range therebetween, based on the total weight of the coated organic acid agent, with the remainder being the organic acid agent when the coated organic acid agent is formulated essentially only with the organic acid agent and the coating.
[0327] In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is coated with a water-soluble polymer, binder, granulator, bulking agent, etc. A non-limiting example of this type of coated organic acid agent is Citric acid DC (available from Jungbunzlauer), which is a directly compressible granular powder type of citric acid coated with a thin layer of maltodextrin.
[0328] In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is coated with an anti-caking agent. Such coated organic acid agents exhibit high moisture spur absorption capacity. A non-limiting example of this type of coated organic acid agent is Citric acid S40 (available from Jungbunzlauer), which is a very fine (carbonized) granular powder of citric acid coated with silicon dioxide.
[0329] In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is coated with a pH adjuster. In some embodiments, the organic acid agent is coated with a salt of the organic acid agent (i.e., a conjugate base salt of the organic acid agent). The salt of the organic acid agent may be an alkali metal salt of the organic acid agent, an alkaline earth salt of the organic acid agent, an ammonium salt of the organic acid agent, or a mixture thereof, including a mixed salt of the organic acid agent (e.g., a mixed salt of sodium and potassium). The salt of the organic acid agent may be monobasic, dibasic, tribasic, etc. When the salt of the organic acid agent is polybasic (dibasic, tribasic, etc.), the salt may be formed from a single cation (e.g., a sodium cation) or two or more different cations (e.g., a mixed salt having both sodium and potassium cations). Examples of salts of organic acid agents that can be used as coating materials include, but are not limited to, sodium citrate (e.g., monosodium citrate, disodium citrate, and / or trisodium citrate), potassium citrate (e.g., monopotassium citrate, dipotassium citrate, and / or tripotassium citrate), sodium tartrate (e.g., monosodium tartrate and / or disodium tartrate), potassium tartrate (e.g., monopotassium tartrate and / or dipotassium tartrate), potassium sodium tartrate, ammonium citrate (e.g., monoammonium citrate, diammonium citrate, and / or tripotassium citrate), Examples of suitable organic acid salts include triammonium citrate, ammonium tartrate (e.g., monoammonium tartrate and / or diammonium tartrate), sodium fumarate (e.g., monosodium fumarate and / or disodium fumarate), potassium fumarate (e.g., monopotassium fumarate and / or dipotassium fumarate), sodium maleate (e.g., monosodium maleate and / or disodium maleate), potassium maleate (e.g., monopotassium maleate and / or dipotassium maleate), sodium lactate, and potassium lactate, including mixtures and / or hydrates thereof. The organic acid agent coated with the salt of the organic acid agent may be in the form of a core-shell material. The organic acid agent (core) and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may belong to the same conjugate acid-base pair.For example, the organic acid agent (core) may be citric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of citric acid. In another example, the organic acid agent (core) may be tartaric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of tartaric acid. In yet another example, the organic acid agent (core) may be fumaric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of fumaric acid. Alternatively, the organic acid agent (core) and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may belong to different conjugate acid-base pairs. For example, the organic acid agent (core) may be citric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of tartaric acid. In another example, the organic acid agent (core) may be citric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of fumaric acid. In yet another example, the organic acid agent (core) may be tartaric acid, and the salt of the organic acid agent (shell) may be an alkali metal salt, alkaline earth salt, and / or ammonium salt of citric acid. A non-limiting example of an organic acid agent coated with a salt of an organic acid agent is Citrocoat® N (available from Jungbunzlauer), which is a granular powder made from citric acid as the core material and has a layer of monosodium citrate (1.5-3.5%) as the shell.
[0330] Coated organic acid agents may be utilized in the effervescent dosage forms of the present disclosure, where the effervescent couple may be formed from any of the coated organic acid agents disclosed herein and a carbon dioxide source. In contrast to uncoated organic acid agents, the use of organic acid agents coated with an effervescent couple may provide the effervescent dosage form with improved storage stability without significantly sacrificing reactivity when placed in an aqueous environment, such as in water, juice, or other drinkable fluid, or when placed in an aqueous environment in the oral cavity, such as saliva. A non-limiting example of an effervescent couple formulated with a coated organic acid agent is Citrocoat® EP (available from Jungbunzlauer GmbH), which is an agglomerated granule made by combining Citrocoat® N (a citric acid core coated with a layer of 1.5-3.5% monosodium citrate as a shell) with sodium bicarbonate using gum arabic as a binder.
[0331] In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a compound of Formula (I) (e.g., I-1, I-2, I-3, I-4, I-5, I-6, I-7, I-8, I-9, and / or I-10) as a free base in crystalline form, and a coated organic acid agent, such as coated citric acid, coated tartaric acid, or coated fumaric acid. For effervescent dosage forms, a carbon dioxide source (e.g., sodium bicarbonate) is also included with the coated organic acid agent. In some embodiments, the compound of Formula (I) is a crystalline form of 3-(2-(bis(methyl-d3)amino)ethyl-1,1,2,2-d4)-1H-indol-2,5,6,7-d4-4-ol (I-1), as determined by X-ray powder diffraction.

[0395] Materials useful for forming a dissolving matrix include chitin, chitosan, dextran, and pullulan; agar gum, gum arabic, gum karaya, locust bean gum, tragacanth gum, carrageenan, gum ghatti, guar gum, xanthan gum, and scleroglucan; starches, such as dextrin and maltodextrin; hydrophilic colloids, such as pectin; phospholipids, such as lecithin; alginates; propylene glycol alginate; gelatin; collagen; and cellulosics, such as ethyl cellulose (EC), methylethyl cellulose (MEC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), CMEC, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), and the like. ), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), cellulose acetate (CA), cellulose propionate (CP), cellulose butyrate (CB), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), CAP, CAT, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), HPMCP, HPMCAS, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate trimellitate (HPMCAT), and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose (EHEC); polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol; polyvinyl acetate; glycerol fatty acid esters; polyacrylamide; polyacrylic acid; copolymers of ethacrylic acid or methacrylic acid (EUDRAGIT®, Rohm Copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ethyl-L-glutamic acid; degradable lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers; poly-D-(-)-3-hydroxybutyric acid; and other acrylic acid derivatives, such as homopolymers and copolymers of butyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, (2-dimethylaminoethyl) methacrylate, and (trimethylaminoethyl) methacrylate chloride, but are not limited to these.
[0396] In a further embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition is formulated as a non-eluting matrix device. The active ingredient is dissolved or dispersed in an inert matrix and, upon administration, is released primarily by diffusion through the inert matrix. Materials suitable for use as a non-eluting matrix device include insoluble plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyisoprene, polyisobutylene, polybutadiene, polymethyl methacrylate, polybutyl methacrylate, chlorinated polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, methyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene / propylene copolymer, ethylene / ethyl acrylate copolymer, vinyl chloride copolymer with vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, ethylene and propylene, ionomer polyethylene terephthalate, butyl rubber. These include, but are not limited to, epichlorohydrin rubber, ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer, ethylene / vinyl acetate / vinyl alcohol terpolymer, ethylene / vinyloxyethanol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, plasticized nylon, plasticized polyethylene terephthalate, natural rubber, silicone rubber, polydimethylsiloxane, silicone carbonate copolymer; and hydrophilic polymers such as ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, crospovidone, cross-linked partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate, aliphatic compounds such as carnauba wax, microcrystalline wax, and triglycerides.
[0397] In matrix controlled-release systems, the desired release kinetics can be controlled, for example, through the type of polymer used, the polymer viscosity, the particle size of the polymer and / or the active ingredient, the ratio of active ingredient to polymer, and other excipients or carriers in the composition.
[0398] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein in modified release dosage forms may be prepared by methods known to those skilled in the art, including direct compression, dry or wet granulation followed by compression, and melt granulation followed by compression.
[0399] 2. Osmotic Controlled Release Devices The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein in modified-release dosage forms can be manufactured using osmotic controlled release devices, including one-chamber systems, two-chamber systems, asymmetric membrane technology (AMT), and extruded core systems (ECS). Generally, such devices have at least two components: (a) a core containing the active ingredient, and (b) a semipermeable membrane with at least one delivery port that encapsulates the core. The semipermeable membrane controls the influx of water from an aqueous environment into the core during use, causing drug release by extrusion through the delivery port.
[0400] In addition to the active ingredient, the core of the osmotic device optionally includes an osmotic agent that generates a driving force for water transport from the environment of use into the core of the device. Water-swellable hydrophilic polymers, a type of osmotic agent, also referred to as "osmopolymers" and "hydrogels," include, but are not limited to, hydrophilic vinyl and acrylic polymers, polysaccharides such as calcium alginate, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), poly(acrylic) acid, poly(methacrylic) acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), cross-linked PVP, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), PVA / PVP copolymers, PVA / PVP copolymers with hydrophobic monomers such as methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate, hydrophilic polyurethanes containing large PEO blocks, croscarmellose sodium, carrageenan, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and carboxyethyl cellulose (CEC), sodium alginate, polycarbophil, gelatin, xanthan gum, and sodium starch glycolate.
[0401] Another type of osmotic agent is an osmogen, which can absorb water and affect the osmotic pressure gradient across the barrier of the surrounding coating. Suitable osmogens include, but are not limited to, inorganic salts such as magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, lithium chloride, potassium sulfate, potassium phosphate, sodium carbonate, sodium sulfite, lithium sulfate, potassium chloride, and sodium sulfate; sugars such as glucose, fructose, glucose, inositol, lactose, maltose, mannitol, raffinose, sorbitol, sucrose, trehalose, and xylitol; organic acids such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, maleic acid, sebacic acid, sorbic acid, adipic acid, edetic acid, glutamic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid; urea; and mixtures thereof.
[0402] Osmotic agents with different dissolution rates can be used to affect the rate at which the active ingredient is initially delivered from the dosage form. For example, amorphous sugars such as Mannogeme EZ (SPI Pharma, Lewes, Del.) can be used to provide more rapid delivery in the first few hours to produce the desired therapeutic effect immediately, with the remaining amount gradually and continuously released to maintain the desired level of therapeutic or prophylactic effect over an extended period of time. In this case, the active ingredient is released at a rate that replaces th...
