Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims the benefit of and priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 799,215, filed January 31, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. [Background technology]

[0002] background Furosemide, a typical loop diuretic, can be used to treat hypertension, edema, and related disorders, including decompensated heart failure. Furosemide is typically used to treat and / or manage edema associated with cardiac, renal, and hepatic dysfunction or failure, such as congestive heart failure. H. Bundgaard, T. Norgaard, N.M. Nielsen, "Photodegradation and hydrolysis of furosemide and furosemide esters in aqueous solutions," International Journal of Pharmaceutics 42, 217 (1988).

[0003] The oral bioavailability and therefore oral efficacy of furosemide are limited. Due to the combined effects of limited solubility and reduced stability at acidic pH, highly variable oral absorption is observed, but furosemide is typically administered both parenterally and orally. B. Devarakonda, DP Otto, A. Judefeind, RA Hill, MM de Villiers, “Effect of pH on the solubility and release of furosemide from polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer complexes,” International Journal of Pharmaceutics 345, 142 (Dec. 10, 2007). Therefore, furosemide is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly to most patients with decompensated heart failure or other forms of more advanced edema.

[0004] Intravenous administration of medications such as furosemide requires a medical professional trained in catheter placement and administration of the drug solution. In contrast, subcutaneous administration of medications can be achieved using an automatic injection device and / or a minipump, or subcutaneous injection or infusion, which allows administration to be performed by the patient or caregiver, for example, at home. Subcutaneous administration of furosemide by the patient or caregiver can also allow for more optimal therapeutic dosing and total dose, providing a more suitable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile and patient outcomes.

[0005] Subcutaneous administration should minimize discomfort and pain during administration to avoid poor patient compliance with the treatment regimen. Factors that may contribute to the pain and discomfort experienced by the patient during, during, or after subcutaneous administration include the injection volume, the pH of the formulation, and the osmolarity or isotonicity of the formulation. Furthermore, such a formulation should be stable in solution so that it is readily available for use and / or can be pre-filled into various dispensing devices. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Thus, there is a need for improved pharmaceutical formulations containing furosemide that contain sufficient concentrations of furosemide and have a suitable pH and osmolality, allowing for, for example, subcutaneous administration of furosemide. [Means for solving the problem]

[Example]

[0182] Example The invention having now been generally described will be more readily understood by reference to the following examples, which are intended only to illustrate certain aspects and embodiments of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

[0183] Example 1. Effect of pH on the solubility of furosemide in liquid pharmaceutical formulations The solubility of furosemide was measured in six buffers over a pH range of 6.0 to 8.5 at two buffer strengths (50 and 200 mM). The buffers tested are found in Table 1.

[0184] [Table 1]

[0185] Experimental setup: Solid furosemide (approximately 100 mg) was added to the buffer solution (2 mL) until the mixture was saturated (approximately 50 mg / mL).

[0186] Screen I: pH was adjusted using base (NaOH, 1 M) during preparation and at each time point.

[0187] Screen II: Solubility was aided by sonication (20 min) during initial preparation, followed by pH adjustment using base (NaOH, 1 M or 12 M) (only after sonication).

[0188] The samples were tumbled under ambient conditions for 48 hours and protected from light.

[0189] Solids were removed from the samples by centrifugation at t=2 hours, t=24 hours, and t=48 hours, and the supernatants were tested for appearance, pH, osmolality, and recovery (HPLC assay).

[0190] result: The results of the experiment are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0191] [Table 2]

[0192] [Table 3]

[0193] [Table 4]

[0194] The solubility was determined to be dependent on the type of buffer (at higher buffer strengths) and was observed to increase with increasing pH values.

[0195] pH Screening Round I The solubility of furosemide was first measured at a concentration of 50 mM in sodium phosphate, potassium phosphate, and tromethamine / HCl buffers.

[0196] A significant pH shift was observed in test samples with a pH of 7.4 or greater over 48 hours by the API. This shift was observed at each time point, indicating a slow dissolution rate of furosemide in the buffered medium.

[0197] At pH 7.4 and 8.5, the maximum equilibrium solubility could not be measured (API shift) due to a pH shift to approximately pH = 7. At pH = 6.0, no pH shift was observed.

[0198] In general, solubility was observed to increase at higher pH values. Furosemide exhibited the highest solubility at approximately 40 mg / mL. All types of buffers appeared to produce similar solubilities.

[0199] All samples were observed to be hypotonic, with increased osmolality at higher pH due to increased solubility of furosemide.

[0200] pH Screening Round II The pH solubility of furosemide was measured in the above buffers with histidine / HCl, citrate, and tromethamine over the pH range of 6.0 to 8.5 at increasing buffer strengths of 200 mM. Additionally, test samples were sonicated prior to pH adjustment to facilitate API dissolution and minimize pH shifts throughout the study.

[0201] Only a small pH shift (0.4 pH units) was observed throughout the study, likely due to the increased buffer strength and initial sonication, which increased the rate of dissolution.

[0202] Supersaturation, likely induced by sonication, was observed at t=2 h and t=24 h in certain buffers.

[0203] All test buffers were shown to produce low solubility at pH=6.0 and support solubility of 8 mg / mL at higher pHs.

[0204] Potassium phosphate appeared to produce higher solubility (2x) than sodium phosphate at higher pH.

[0205] Tromethamine-based buffers yielded maximum solubility at higher pH (approximately 40 mg / mL).

[0206] In general, increasing API concentration correlated with increasing osmolality. Some deviations from this trend were reported for the sodium phosphate test solutions.

[0207] Example 2. Effect of excipients on the solubility of furosemide in liquid pharmaceutical formulations The solubility of furosemide was measured in vehicles designed to cover the formulation space of excipients (single or in mixtures) that are GRAS / regarded as safe and compatible with subcutaneous administration. From the pH-solubility studies, tromethamine was selected as the lead buffer component. A summary of the screening performed is shown in Table 4.

[0208] [Table 5]

[0209] Experimental setup: Solid furosemide was added to the buffer (2 mL) until the mixture was saturated. Solubility was aided by sonication (20 min) during initial preparation, and then the pH was adjusted using base (NaOH, 12 M) (only after sonication).

[0210] The samples were tumbled at ambient conditions for 48 hours and protected from light.

[0211] Solids were removed from the samples by centrifugation at t=2 hours, t=24 hours, and t=48 hours, and the supernatants were tested for appearance, pH, osmolality, and recovery (HPLC assay).

[0212] result: The results of the experiment are shown in Tables 5, 6, 7 and 8.

[0213] The solubility of Studies I and II could not be measured due to the low pH values ​​and large pH shifts.

[0214] [Table 6]

[0215] [Table 7]

[0216] [Table 8]

[0217] [Table 9]

[0218] Excipient solubility studies (Studies 1 and 2) An attempt was made to measure the solubility of furosemide in unbuffered excipient solutions adjusted to pH 7.4 using a strong base (NaOH). The pH was not stable during sample preparation, so solubility could not be measured (Study 1).

[0219] Attempts were made to measure furosemide solubility in excipient solutions without pH adjustment. All test samples showed very low solubility (below the limit of quantitation), which was likely due to the low pH driven by the pKa of the API.

[0220] Solubility Study of Excipients (Study 3) The solubility of furosemide was measured in excipient buffer (tromethamine) at pH 7.4. N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP, 20%) reported the highest solubility (approximately 87 mg / mL) that was maintained over 48 hours. Maximum solubility could not be measured because saturation was not achieved.

[0221] Throughout the study, pH fluctuations (up to 0.7 pH units) were observed in certain conditions.

[0222] Benzyl alcohol (BA, 2%), glycerin (20%), and polyethylene glycol (4%) resulted in the highest furosemide solubility (approximately 60-75 mg / mL) that was maintained over 48 hours.

[0223] For some formulations, the osmolality could not be accurately determined due to the organic content.

[0224] Solubility Study of Excipients (Study 4) A thorough factorial DOE study was conducted to determine the optimal amounts of NMP, benzyl alcohol, and buffer (tromethamine) required to yield the highest solubility. Potential synergistic effects resulting from various excipient combinations were also investigated.

[0225] Small pH fluctuations (up to 0.3 pH units) were observed throughout the study.

[0226] The highest solubility (>120 mg / mL) was always achieved at higher NMP concentrations (20%).

[0227] A minimum concentration of 5% NMP in combination with 2% benzyl alcohol was reported to result in a solubility of over 100 mg / mL.

[0228] Furosemide solubility was highest in large amounts of NMP and BA and was relatively unaffected by buffer strength.

[0229] At low NMP levels, higher buffer concentrations appeared to result in slightly higher solubility.

[0230] The effect of NMP was stronger at low BA levels, and the effect of BA was stronger at low NMP levels. Both are cosolvents and likely dissolve furosemide by the same mechanism.

[0231] Due to the organic content of the test vehicle, osmolality could not be properly determined.

[0232] Solubility Study of Excipients (Study 5) The solubility of furosemide was measured in excipient buffer (tromethamine) at pH 6.0.

[0233] Small pH fluctuations (up to 0.4 pH units) were observed throughout the study.

[0234] The solubility ranged from approximately 3 to 10 mg / mL. N-methyl-pyrrolidone (20%) yielded the highest solubility (approximately 10 mg / mL) that was maintained over 48 hours.

[0235] All solutions appeared cloudy, indicating saturation of each solution.

[0236] Due to the organic content of the test vehicle, osmolality could not be properly determined.

[0237] Solubility Study of Excipients (Study 6) The solubility of furosemide was measured in excipient buffers (N-methyl-pyrrolidone, benzyl alcohol, tromethamine) at pH 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.4.

[0238] In the test sample at pH 4.0, a pH shift of 0.7 units was observed.

[0239] Solubility increased significantly between pH 6 and 7.4. The maximum observed solubility of furosemide was approximately 210 mg / mL at pH 7.4.

[0240] All solutions appeared cloudy, indicating saturation of the solution. Test samples appeared to increase in viscosity at high concentrations (approximately 200 mg / mL).

[0241] Due to the organic content of the test vehicle, osmolality could not be properly determined.

[0242] Example 3. Manufacturing process for a furosemide liquid formulation (107 mg / mL furosemide, 50 mM tromethamine, 10% (w / v) N-methyl-pyrrolidone, 2% (w / v) benzyl alcohol) In the following example, a manufacturing process for preparing a 107 mg / mL furosemide liquid formulation is described.

[0243] 30.5 g of tromethamine (USP), 500.5 g of N-methyl-pyrrolidone (USP), and 100.0 g of benzyl alcohol (USP) were weighed and added to a 5 L volumetric flask. Approximately 2.5 L of ultrapure water was added and then stirred using a magnetic stir bar. Once the solid material had dissolved, 537.5 g of furosemide (USP) was added to form a suspension. After approximately 30 minutes of additional stirring, the pH of the suspension / solution was adjusted to 7.4 using 10 N sodium hydroxide solution (requiring approximately 181.0 mL of 10 N sodium hydroxide solution). Stirring was continued for another 30 minutes, after which the volume of the solution was adjusted to the volume using ultrapure water. Finally, the pH of the solution was verified and found to be 7.5.
