Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an application filed with the China Patent Office on August 30, 2022, with application number 202211044167.9, and the invention title is "Long-acting inhalable Glucocortiroids and a long-acting β2 receptor agonist," the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
[0002] The present invention relates to the field of drug formulations, in particular long-acting inhalable Glucocortiroids and a long-acting beta2 receptor agonist. [Background technology]
[0003] Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common chronic respiratory disease with a high prevalence and mortality rate, affecting public health and resulting in a heavy economic burden on society. COPD primarily presents with airflow limitation that is not fully reversible, and the condition usually worsens gradually. It is associated with an abnormal inflammatory response of lung tissue to harmful particles and gases. Due to the frequent inhalation and complex device requirements, treatment adherence is a common medical challenge for COPD and asthma patients. Therefore, novel long-acting beta-agonists (LABAs), which offer rapid onset and sustained 24-hour bronchodilatory activity, are expected to improve treatment adherence.
[0004] Current treatment and prevention strategies for COPD and asthma include long-acting bronchodilators or one or more inhaled corticosteroids. Glucocortiroids This includes the use of (ICS).
[0005] Inhaled bronchodilators are the cornerstone of COPD and asthma therapy because they can relieve symptoms, reduce disease attacks, and improve quality of life. By improving airflow limitation and hyperinflation, these medications can also reduce respiratory effort and improve exercise tolerance. Furthermore, bronchodilators can reduce respiratory muscle fatigue and improve mucociliary clearance function.
[0006] Bronchodilators include beta2 agonists, which can be short acting for immediate relief of asthma symptoms or long acting for long term prevention of asthma symptoms.
[0007] Long-acting β2 agonists (LABAs) or ultra-long-acting β2 agonists (ULABAs) are effective in improving lung function, reducing symptoms, and preventing exercise-induced dyspnea in patients with asthma and COPD. LABAs induce bronchodilation by prolonged relaxation of airway smooth muscle. LABAs also exert effects on non-smooth muscle, such as inhibiting airway smooth muscle cell proliferation and the release of inflammatory mediators, stimulating mucociliary transport, protecting airway mucosal cells, and attenuating neutrophil migration and activation.
[0008] LABAs can reduce the frequency of medication intake; commercially available twice-daily LABAs include salmeterol, formoterol, and arformoterol, while commercially available once-daily ultra-long-acting beta-2 agonist ULABAs include indacaterol, vilanterol, carmoterol, and olodaterol.
[0009] Although β2 agonists and anticholinergics provide symptomatic relief of bronchoconstriction, another component of inflammatory COPD, e.g. Glucocortiroids Monotherapy with inhaled corticosteroids is necessary, and most Glucocortiroids should be administered in a multiple dose scheme.
[0010] Cortico Glucocortiroidsexhibits inhibitory effects on inflammatory cells and inflammatory mediators involved in the pathology of respiratory disorders such as COPD. Glucocortiroids Glucocorticoid therapy is considered one of the most potentially effective treatments currently available for COPD.
[0011] Currently, LABAs and inhaled corticosteroids Glucocortiroids There are several commercially available inhaled drug compositions containing combinations with an ICS (Interventional Coronary Syndrome). Examples of drug combinations used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) include dry powder inhalers (DPIs) and aerosol inhalers (MDIs) such as salmeterol / fluticasone propionate (Advair® diskus and Advair® HFA) and formoterol fumarate dihydrate / budesonide (Symbicort), formoterol and mometasone (Dulera), salmeterol / fluticasone furoate (AirDuo® Respiclick®), and vilanterol, fluticasone furoate (Breo® Ellipta®).
[0012] Here, fluticasone furoate has the following chemical structure: [ka] Fluticasone furoate is a new synthetic fluorinated glucocorticoid approved by the US FDA in April 2007 for the treatment of seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis. It is a potent glucocorticoid with rapid onset of action, making it a classic treatment for allergic rhinitis. Compared with fluticasone propionate, fluticasone furoate has higher receptor affinity, faster transport from the glucocorticoid receptor to the cell nucleus, longer nuclear retention time, greater selectivity than other glucocorticoids, reduced extracellular efflux, increased intracellular binding, and a longer duration of drug action. Compared with other glucocorticoids, fluticasone furoate has the strongest effect on maintaining epithelial integrity and reducing epithelial permeability in response to proteases or mechanical cell injury.
[0013] Vilanterol trifenatate has the following chemical structure: [ka] Vilanterol trifenatate is a new, orally inhaled, long-acting, selective beta-2 receptor agonist with a faster onset of action and a longer duration of action compared to salmeterol. Furthermore, vilanterol trifenatate has a high degree of selectivity, with an affinity for beta-2 receptors 1,000 times higher than for J31 and beta-2 receptors. Clinical trials have shown that vilanterol trifenatate's bronchodilatory effect can last 24 hours. Once-daily administration for four weeks of continuous therapy significantly improved pulmonary function in COPD patients, while also demonstrating good tolerability and safety, with a low incidence of adverse reactions to LABAs (elevated blood glucose, hypertension, decreased blood potassium levels, tremors, and palpitations).
[0014] Olodaterol hydrochloride (Olodaterol HCl) has the following chemical structure: [ka] Olodaterol hydrochloride is an ultra-long-acting β2-adrenergic receptor agonist with a longer half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing, which is expected to improve patient adherence. Olodaterol hydrochloride was developed by Boehringer Ingelheim and launched in the United States in 2014. The single-component formulation is marketed as Striverdi®, and the combined formulation is marketed as Spiolto®. It is a new, selective, fast-acting LABA with high selectivity for β2-adrenergic receptors (abbreviated as β2-receptors), rapid onset of action, and a long half-life of more than 12 hours, allowing it to maintain 24-hour bronchodilatory activity, allowing it to be administered once daily.
[0015] Indacaterol maleate has the following chemical structure: [ka] Indacaterol is a long-acting inhaled beta-2 receptor agonist (LABA) bronchodilator suitable for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Its onset of action is within five minutes and its effectiveness lasts for 24 hours, allowing for once-daily administration. Indacaterol maleate is manufactured by Novartis Pharmaceuticals of Switzerland and has been available in over 70 countries and regions worldwide since 2009. In June 2012, it was approved by the China National Medical Products Administration and listed on the Chinese stock exchange under the trade name Onbrez®, making it the first LABA-based monotherapy formulation approved in China for the treatment of COPD.
[0016] US Patent US11116721 B2 includes a long-acting beta-2 agonist, vilanterol trifenatate, and a long-acting Glucocortiroids A combination dry powder inhaler containing fluticasone furoate is disclosed. Chinese Patent CN104470503 A discloses a combination dry powder inhaler containing vilanterol trifenatate, a long-acting beta-2 agonist, and a long-acting GlucocortiroidsA combination dry powder inhaler containing fluticasone furoate and umeclidinium bromide is disclosed.China Patent CN103501776 A discloses a combination dry powder inhaler containing glycopyrronium bromide, vilanterol and fluticasone furoate.
[0017] Considering the above prior art, most current pharmaceutical compositions are dry powder inhalants and aerosols. These require patients to be able to hold their breath or have sufficient inspiratory flow, and also require hand-breathing coordination, which means they cannot meet the clinical needs of children with severe and very severe asthma and COPD. Commercially available pharmaceutical compositions are often administered multiple times a day, limiting patient compliance. Currently, there are no once-daily ICS / LABA ultra-long-acting atomized inhalation suspension formulations. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a treatment method for patients who cannot use portable devices such as dry powder inhalers (DPIs), metered-dose inhalers (MDIs), and soft mist inhalers (SMIs), and to develop a once-daily long-acting inhalable suspension for the treatment of asthma and COPD for patients at all stages of the disease.

[0110] Test Example 3 Comparison of co-suspension stability sampling related materials prepared at different pH and EDTA dosages. The samples prepared in Examples 4 to 10 were subjected to a high temperature influence factor test by leaving them at 60°C for 10 days, and the stability of the samples was compared based on the results of the related substances in the influence factor test, as shown in Table 3 below.
[0111] [Table 13]
[0112] According to the measurement data in Table 3 above, the pH value has a significant effect on the stability of the fluticasone furoate ester / vilanterol trifenatate co-suspension. At a pH of 6.5, the high-temperature stability of the vilanterol trifenatate component in the fluticasone furoate ester / vilanterol trifenatate co-suspension is significantly weakened and the impurity content is significantly increased. Therefore, the optimal pH range for the fluticasone furoate ester / vilanterol trifenatate co-suspension is 3.5 to 5.0, which is consistent with the conclusions of Test Example 2. In addition, the co-suspension with EDTA (0.015% w / w) and Polysorbate 80 (0.01% w / w) has the best stability.
[0113] Test Example 4 Comparison of related substances before and after sterilization of raw drug substance In this test example, a series of experiments were conducted to clarify the effects of sterilization temperature and time on related substances in fluticasone furoate and vilanterol drug substances.
[0114] Fluticasone furoate and vilanterol trifenatate were treated for a certain period of time using two methods: moist heat sterilization and dry heat sterilization. Sample 1 was treated for 8 minutes at 120°C, Sample 2 for 15 minutes at 121°C, Sample 3 for 2 hours at 110°C, and Sample 4 for 2 hours at 120°C. After sterilization, the related substances in each group of samples were analyzed as shown in Table 4 below.
[0115] [Table 14]
[0116] As can be seen from the measurement results in Table 4 above, neither fluticasone furoate branate nor vilanterol trifenatate raw drug substance could withstand moist heat sterilization, but fluticasone furoate branate could withstand dry heat sterilization at 120°C for 2 hours, and although the total impurities and maximum single impurity of vilanterol trifenatate increased after 2 hours at 110°C, they were within the acceptable range.
[0117] Test Example 5: Preparation and Stability of Drug Substance Co-suspension after Dry Heat Sterilization Test Example 4 showed that fluticasone furoate could withstand dry heat sterilization, while vilanterol trifenatate showed a partial increase in related substances after dry heat sterilization. After preparing a co-suspension using the sterilized drug substance, the related substances of fluticasone furoate and vilanterol trifenatate were analyzed, and the stability at a one-month accelerated temperature and 10 days at high temperature was re-examined at different pH ranges (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0) using the previously determined amounts of EDTA (0.015%) and polysorbate 80 (0.01%). The results are shown in Table 5 below.
[0118] [Table 15]
[0119] According to the measurement data in Table 5 and Figure 4 above, fluticasone furoate has good stability within the pH range of 3.5 to 5.0, while vilanterol trifenatate already has a high total impurity content at 0 days. When the pH is within the range of 4.5 to 5.0 and the solution is left at 60°C for 10 days, the total impurity content increases significantly, indicating that the optimal pH value for vilanterol trifenatate is 3.5 to 4.0.

The solution was filtered through a 0.45 + 0.22 μm PVDF needle filter (manufacturer: Cobetter, model number: SFM25DLHPVND4522P) to obtain a sterile buffer solution. 150 ml of buffer solution was weighed out, and 7.5 g of sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin was added and dispersed. 17 mg of vilanterol trifenatate drug substance was weighed and dispersed in a disperser at 9000 rpm for 30 minutes. The solution was then filtered through a 0.45 + 0.22 μm PVDF needle filter (manufacturer: Cobetter, model number: SFM25DLHPVND4522P) to obtain a clear vilanterol trifenatate solution.
[0123] 50 ml of buffer solution was then weighed out, 42.5 mg of dry-heat sterilized fluticasone furoate raw material was weighed out, and the mixture was dispersed using a disperser at 9,000 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a fluticasone furoate suspension. The fluticasone furoate suspension, vilanterol trifenatate solution, and the remaining buffer solution were dispersed using a disperser at 9,000 rpm for 30 minutes to thoroughly mix, yielding a sterile fluticasone furoate-vilanterol-cyclodextrin suspension for inhalation.

The solution was dispersed in a disperser at 9000rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a vilanterol trifenatate dispersion. This dispersion and the remaining 450ml of buffer solution were thoroughly mixed in a disperser at 9000rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a vilanterol trifenatate single-component suspension.
[0125] Vilanterol trifenatate-cyclodextrin inhalation solution was prepared according to the formulation and process of Example 11, and the stability of both was compared based on the content and related substances at high temperature influence factors, and the results are shown in Table 6.
[0126] [Table 16]
[0127] As can be seen from the measurement data in Table 6 above, compared to the vilanterol trifenatate single-component suspension, Example 11 used an inhalation solution prepared by mixing sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin and vilanterol trifenatate, which had better stability for 10 days at 60°C and higher stability of the content and related substances.
[0128] Test Example 7: Stability of Fluticasone Furoate-Vilanterol Trifenatate-Cyclodextrin Suspensions at Different pHs: Comparison of Sampling Related Substances A 0.1 M citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution with a pH of 3.0 and a 0.1 M citric acid-sodium citrate buffer solution with a pH of 6.6 were prepared. The fluticasone furoate-vilanterol trifenatate-cyclodextrin suspension prepared in Example 13 was adjusted to pH 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 using these buffer solutions, respectively. The formulation stability in different pH ranges was examined by subjecting the suspension to a high temperature impact factor test (60°C for 10 days). The results are shown in Table 7.
[0129] [Table 17]
[0130] According to the measurement data in Table 7 and Figure 5, when the pH was 3.5, the total impurity content of vilanterol at 60°C for 10 days increased significantly, and when the pH was 5.5, the total impurity content of vilanterol trifenatate at 60°C for 10 days increased significantly. Therefore, it was found that the appropriate pH value for the fluticasone furoate-vilanterol trifenatate-cyclodextrin co-suspension was 4.0 to 5.0.
[0131] Example 14 Preparation of Inhaled Fluticasone Furoate-Olodaterol Hydrochloride Sterile Suspension 0.075 g of EDTA, 4.25 g of NaCl, and 0.05 g of polysorbate 80 were weighed and added to water for injection to make a final volume of 500 ml. The solution was filtered through a 0.45 + 0.22 μm PVDF needle filter (manufacturer: Cobetter, model number: SFM25DLHPVND4522P) to obtain a sterile buffer solution. 50 ml of the buffer solution was weighed and added to 42.5 mg of dry-heat-sterilized fluticasone furoate raw material. The mixture was dispersed in a disperser at 9000 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a fluticasone furoate suspension.
[0132] 34.2 mg of olodaterol hydrochloride raw drug was weighed and added to the remaining buffer solution, stirred magnetically at 300 rpm for 30 minutes, and filtered through a 0.45 + 0.22 μm PVDF needle filter (manufacturer: Cobetter, model number: SFM25DLHPVND4522P) to obtain a sterile, clear olodaterol hydrochloride solution. The fluticasone furoate suspension and olodaterol hydrochloride solution were dispersed thoroughly in a disperser at 9000 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain a sterile fluticasone furoate-olodaterol hydrochloride suspension for inhalation.

Fluticasone furoate-olodaterol hydrochloride suspensions were adjusted to pH 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0, and 5.5 using the above three solutions, respectively. The formulation stability at different pH ranges was examined by subjecting them to a high temperature impact factor test (60°C for 10 days). The results are shown in Table 8.
[0134] [Table 18]
[0135] As can be seen from the measurement data in Table 8 and Figure 6 above, in the suspension formed from olodaterol hydrochloride and fluticasone furoate, the raw material fluticasone furoate was stable within the pH range of 2.5 to 5.5, while the raw material olodaterol hydrochloride was stable within the pH range of 2.5 to 4.0, with the pH being particularly stable at 3.0.
