Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of biomedicine and polymeric medical materials, and more particularly to a series of polymers having acid-sensitive decomposition and positive temperature sensitivity, methods for preparing the same, and pharmaceutical compositions. [Background technology]

[0002] In the research field of sustained and controlled drug release, the characteristics of sustained-release materials are one of the key factors that determine the success of formulation design. An ideal sustained-release injectable material must possess good biocompatibility, effective control over drug release, and good injectability. In situ gels commonly used in drug delivery are classified into natural and synthetic gel materials based on their origin. These materials form gels in situ after injection through mechanisms such as reverse temperature sensitivity (a sol at low temperatures within a specific temperature range, which crosslinks to form a gel as the temperature increases), positive temperature sensitivity at high temperatures (a sol at high temperatures, which forms a gel as the temperature decreases after injection), pH sensitivity, chemical crosslinking, or solvent exchange, and function as a drug reservoir that slowly releases the drug. Drug release mechanisms include diffusion and dissolution. However, the above-mentioned conventional in situ gel materials have the following problems to a greater or lesser extent: poor biocompatibility, difficult metabolism, chemically cross-linked monomers have certain toxic effects, unstable drug release characteristics, high water content in the system increases the risk of degradation, and conventional positive temperature-sensitive materials may cause pain to patients and even local necrosis due to the injection temperature being too high.

[0003] Polyorthoesters are a type of polymeric substance containing many orthoester bonds, which can be hydrolyzed in an aqueous environment, resulting in excellent biodegradability. Due to their excellent biodegradability and surface solubility, polyorthoesters have rapidly developed in the field of sustained and controlled drug release, and are currently used in the commercial drug formulation Sustol® developed by Heron Therapeutics.

[0004] Classical polyorthoesters are available in semi-solid form, and related products are sold as prefilled injectables, but their rheological properties are still insufficient. Classical semi-solid polyorthoesters have high viscosity and low fluidity in the intended environment, resulting in poor needle passability during injection. When used alone as an in situ sustained-release matrix, injection administration is difficult. Therefore, when used as a sustained-release carrier for injection, classic semi-solid polyorthoesters must be mixed with a certain proportion of viscosity modifiers (e.g., dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, or other organic solvents) to improve needle passability. However, the addition of these viscosity modifiers increases the risk of side effects such as irritation and toxicity. Furthermore, the rheological properties of classic semi-solid polyorthoesters are only very limitedly affected by temperature, maintaining a consistent fluidity even at low temperatures during storage. Therefore, during long-term storage, prefilled injectables may experience drug particle aggregation, drug crystallization, and precipitation, which can adversely affect the quality of the formulation.

[0005] Currently, patents related to polyorthoester-based polymers as drug carriers mainly include: (1) Composition of polyorthoester and aprotic solvent (Application No.: CN201480028192), (2) Long-acting polymer delivery system (Application No.: CN201580033564), and (3) Novel polyorthoester pharmaceutical auxiliary materials and novel formulations for sustained-release drugs (Application No.: CN201210436124). Patents (1) and (2) were filed by Heron Therapeutics, Inc. in the United States, and are patents for the application of polyorthoesters as sustained-release drug carriers. The polyorthoesters used are conventional semi-solid polyorthoesters. While semi-solid polyorthoesters have some effectiveness in controlling drug release, their rheological properties limit their use. Simply using classic semi-solid polyorthoesters results in high viscosity and poor fluidity in the application environment, making them difficult to meet injection needs. To address the problem of difficult injection of pharmaceutical compositions, the above patents provide pharmaceutical compositions containing a "viscosity modifier." However, while suitable viscosity modifiers (including dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylacetamide, and other organic solvents) improve the fluidity of the composition, they may also increase the irritation and toxicity of the pharmaceutical composition, thereby increasing the risk of formulation application. However, conventional polyorthoesters still exhibit a certain fluidity at storage temperatures, which exposes the composition to the risk of drug crystallization and precipitation. Furthermore, the content of related U.S. patents (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 10,398,686, U.S. Pat. No. 10,357,570, U.S. Pat. No. 10,213,510, etc.) is similar to the above patents (1) and (2).

[0006] Patent (3) relates to novel polyorthoesters and related sustained-release formulations that differ from conventional polyorthoester structures. This patent focuses on a method for synthesizing novel polymers rich in orthoester structures. In addition to conventional polyorthoester synthesis routes, it provides a novel polyorthoester structure and a synthesis route that are similarly biodegradable. It is anticipated that these polymers will be used as pharmaceutical auxiliary materials, particularly sustained-release drug carriers. However, due to their unique decomposition route, these novel polyorthoesters pose a higher safety risk than conventional polyorthoesters. During the degradation process, one of the final degradation products of the five-membered ring of the orthoester is formic acid. This degradation product is optic neurotoxic, significantly limiting the prospects for clinical application.

[0007] Compared with the above inventions, the novel polymer containing an orthoester structure provided by the present invention maintains the high safety and excellent sustained drug release properties of conventional polyorthoesters while creatively introducing positive temperature-sensitive properties, so that pharmaceutical compositions prepared with this polymer maintain good drug release properties and degradability, as well as stability during storage and needle passability during injection. In other words, this type of polymer and its drug-carrying system have advantages such as stable storage, convenient administration, smooth drug release, and controllable degradation, and are of great application and research value in the medical field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0034] The beneficial effects of the present invention will be further illustrated below through experimental data.

[0035] [Table 1]

[0036] Surprisingly, we discovered a novel polymer containing an orthoester structure with positive temperature sensitivity, as shown in Table 1 (the polymer from Example 2 was used in the above experiments). By adjusting the ratio of block units within the polymer molecule, we can flexibly adjust the storage and loss moduli of the polymer so that they are equal at a specific temperature within the range of 20–40°C. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 10, as the ambient temperature gradually increases above a specific temperature, the complex viscosity of the polymer also decreases sharply, significantly improving the polymer's fluidity. The temperature-sensitive rheological properties of this polymer allow it to meet various needs for long-term storage and applications, appearing as a more stable solid state in storage environments and a more fluid liquid state in use environments. Compared to conventional positive temperature-sensitive polymeric materials, its transformation temperature is lower. When used as a sustained-release drug carrier, this novel polymer's injection temperature is close to or lower than the human body temperature, simplifying the injection procedure, reducing local irritation, and alleviating patient pain. Drug conjugates prepared with this novel polymer and suitable active therapeutic agents have been shown to exhibit stable drug release behavior in in vitro release experiments, and the drug release rate can also be flexibly controlled by adjusting the proportion of the relevant structural units within the polymer.

[0037] Pharmaceutical compositions prepared with this polymer maintain good drug release and degradation properties, as well as stability during storage and needle passability during injection. In short, such polymers and their drug-carrying systems have the advantages of stable storage, convenient administration, smooth drug release, and controllable degradation, and are of great application and research value in the medical field.
