[Figure 3] FIG. 3 is a graph showing the mean plasma concentration of the compound of formula (I) according to the invention as a function of time after oral administration of either pharmaceutical composition F according to the invention to three Swiss albino mice at a dose of 150 mg of the compound of formula (I) per kg of each mouse, or pharmaceutical composition E according to the prior art to three Swiss albino mice at a dose of 150 mg of the compound of formula (I) per kg of each mouse.

[0097] Example The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples. In all examples, the bioavailability F is calculated using the following formula: F(%) = [AUCinf(PO) * Dose (IV) * 100] / [AUCinf(IV) * Dose (PO)] was measured using.

[0098] Example 1: Preparation of two compositions according to the invention Composition A according to the present invention An organic vehicle was prepared containing the following: 50% v / v Kolliphor® HS15, 33.33% v / v PEG400, and 16.67% v / v ethanol. Thus, in 1.940 mL of the organic vehicle, there was 0.9700 mL Kolliphor® HS15, 0.6466 mL PEG400, and 0.3234 mL ethanol.

[0099] 96.99 mg of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was weighed into a Wheaton vial on a microbalance. The compound was dissolved in 1.9400 mL of the above organic vehicle (corresponding to 3 parts of the final vehicle volume), and the dosing solution was thoroughly mixed using a magnetic stirrer for approximately 30 minutes. After this, the final vehicle component, 4.5266 mL of ultrapure water (corresponding to 7 parts of the final vehicle volume), was slowly added to the Wheaton vial and thoroughly mixed by end-over-end mixing. The final dosing composition was a slightly turbid fluorescent green / yellow solution, containing 15 mg of the compound of formula (I) per milliliter of solution.

[0100] Composition B according to the present invention An organic vehicle was prepared containing 50% v / v Kolliphor® HS15, 33.33% v / v PEG 400, and 16.67% v / v ethanol, so in 1.940 mL of the organic vehicle, there was 0.9700 mL Kolliphor® HS15, 0.6466 mL PEG 400, and 0.3234 mL ethanol.

[0101] 206.93 mg of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was weighed into a Wheaton vial on a microbalance. The compound was dissolved in 1.9400 mL of the above organic vehicle (corresponding to 3 parts of the final vehicle volume), and the dosing solution was thoroughly mixed using a magnetic stirrer for approximately 30 minutes. After this, the final vehicle component, 4.5266 mL of ultrapure water (corresponding to 7 parts of the final vehicle volume), was slowly added to the Wheaton vial and thoroughly mixed by end-over-end mixing. The final dosing composition was a fine green-yellow suspension, containing 32 mg of the compound of formula (I) per milliliter of suspension.

[0102] Example 2: Evaluation of the bioavailability of the compound of formula (I) after administration of composition A according to the invention prepared in Example 1

[0103] Materials and Methods Composition A according to the invention prepared in Example 1 was administered as a single dose by oral route to three male Swiss albino mice at a dose of 150 mg / kg per mouse (corresponding to a volumetric dose of 10 mL / kg by oral route). The mice were dosed orally via a gastric gavage needle.

[0104] Furthermore, a composition designated as Composition IV was administered as a single dose to three other male Swiss albino mice via the intravenous route at a dose of 1 mg / kg per mouse (corresponding to a volume administration rate of 10 mL / kg via the intravenous route). Composition IV contained 0.1 mg of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention per milliliter of the above Composition IV, and a vehicle containing 10% v / v Kolliphor® EL and 90% v / v saline solution (= an aqueous solution containing 0.9% w / v NaCl). Composition IV was prepared as follows: Kolliphor® EL and saline solution were premixed in an appropriate ratio (1 / 9, v / v), and then the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was dissolved in the required volume to obtain Composition IV.

[0105] For each of six mice, blood samples were collected in the saphenous vein at different endpoints (TO+0.5 hours, TO+1 hours, TO+2 hours, TO+4 hours, and TO+8 hours after oral or intravenous administration at TO) and centrifuged to separate plasma. The plasma concentration of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was measured by LC-MS / MS. Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated for the mean concentration by a non-compartmental model using Phoenix software version 8.1.

[0106] result The mean plasma concentrations of the compound of formula (I) as a function of time following administration of a composition according to the invention prepared in Example 1 are shown in Figure 1. As can be seen in Figure 1, the plasma concentrations of the compound of formula (I) declined over 8 hours.

[0107] The pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: [Table 1]

[0108] The bioavailability of compound (I) was 96%. Composition A according to the invention therefore allows a bioavailability of compound (I) of more than 90% after a single administration by the oral route.

[0109] Example 3: Effect of Composition A according to the invention prepared in Example 1 in the treatment of colorectal cancer Materials and Methods Tumor cell transplantation: 5 × 10 5 CT26 cells were subcutaneously implanted into the flanks of 20 female BALB / c mice. Tumors were approximately 50–100 mm 3 Once tumor size reached 100 mg / kg, mice bearing similarly sized tumors were randomly assigned to treatment groups (either "test group" or "control group"). Treatment (a composition according to the invention prepared in Example 1 for the test group, or a placebo for the control group) began 7 days after tumor cell implantation. All dosing solution preparations were performed in a sterile biosafety cabinet.

[0110] Composition A according to the invention, as prepared in Example 1, was administered daily for 13 days (starting from day 1, to 10 female BALB / C mice bearing CT26 tumors, at a dose of 150 mg / kg per mouse by oral route (corresponding to a volume dose of 10 mL / kg by oral route) (corresponding to the "test group").

[0111] A vehicle (containing 50% v / v Kolliphor® HS15, 33.33% v / v PEG400 and 16.67% v / v ethanol, percentages expressed relative to the total volume of the vehicle) was administered daily for 13 days (starting on day 1) by oral route to 10 other female BALB / C mice bearing CT26 tumors as placebo (corresponding to the "control group").

[0112] Follow-up for all mice included: twice weekly body weight measurements, daily clinical observations (gross signs / symptoms), three times weekly tumor volume measurements, tumor analysis, and blood analysis.

[0113] Tumors were measured using digital calipers. The length, width, and depth of the tumor were measured and used to calculate tumor volume.

[0114] Additionally, tumors were weighed on day 13 after they were removed from the mice's bodies.

[0115] result The tumor volume of n as a function of time after administration of the composition prepared in Example 1 or a placebo is shown in Figure 2. As can be seen in Figure 2, oral administration of the composition according to the present invention prepared in Example 1 reduced tumor volume by 3-fold on day 13 compared to the control group.

[0116] Furthermore, the average tumor weight on day 13 was 970 mg for the control group and 341 mg for the test group. Thus, administration of the composition according to the present invention by oral route reduced CT26 tumors in BALB / c mice by approximately one-third compared to the control group.

[0117] Furthermore, body weight measurements showed no statistically significant differences between the control and test groups, indicating that oral administration of the composition according to the invention prepared in Example 1 is well tolerated.

[0118] Example 4: Comparison of the bioavailability of the compound of formula (I) after administration of a composition according to the invention and a composition according to the prior art Materials and Methods Oral route of administration Two compositions were prepared: Composition F according to the present invention: An organic vehicle was prepared containing 50% v / v Kolliphor® HS15, 33.33% v / v PEG400, and 16.67% v / v ethanol. Thus, in 1.940 mL of the organic vehicle, 0.9700 mL of Kolliphor® HS15, 0.6466 mL of PEG400, and 0.3234 mL of ethanol were present. A compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was weighed into a Wheaton vial on a microbalance. The compound was dissolved in 1.9400 mL of the organic vehicle, and the dosing solution was thoroughly stirred at 800 rpm at 25°C using a magnetic stirrer for approximately 30 minutes. The final vehicle component, 4.5266 mL of ultrapure water, was then slowly added to the Wheaton vial and thoroughly mixed by end-over-end stirring. The final composition, designated Composition F, contained 15% v / v Kolliphor® HS15, 10% v / v PEG 400, 5% v / v ethanol, and 70% v / v ultrapure water and 0.3 mg of the compound of formula (I) per milliliter of Composition F.

[0119] Composition E from a prior study: A compound of formula (I) according to the present invention was added to a mixture containing 1.2% v / v methylcellulose, 0.1% v / v Tween® 80 (polyethylene glycol sorbitan monooleate, CAS number 9005-65-6), and 100% v / v deionized water. The resulting suspension, designated Composition E, contained 5 mg of the compound of formula (I) per milliliter of Composition E.

[0120] Dosage: Composition F according to the invention was administered as a single dose by the oral route to three healthy male Swiss albino mice at a dose of 150 mg / kilogram of compound of formula (I) for each mouse.

[0121] Composition E from the previous study was administered as a single dose by oral route to three healthy male Swiss albino mice at a dose of 150 mg / kilogram of the compound of formula (I) to each mouse.

[0122] Blood Sampling: Approximately 40-50 μL of blood samples per mouse were collected by saphenous vein puncture at different endpoints (TO+0.25, TO+0.5, TO+1, TO+2, TO+4, and TO+8 hours after oral administration at TO). Blood was collected into collection tubes containing anticoagulant (lithium heparin). The tubes were centrifuged (2000 g, 10 minutes, 4°C) to obtain plasma. Samples were stored in propylene tubes at <-65°C until LC-MS / MS analysis (n=126). Pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated from non-compartmental analysis (NCA) of the PK profiles using Phoenix WinNonlin 7.0 software.

[0123] result Pharmacokinetic parameters after oral administration were as follows: [Table 2]

[0124] As can be seen, after a single oral administration of composition F according to the present invention, the maximum concentration C of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention is obtained 30 minutes to 1 hour after administration, which is 29.75 μM when a dose of 150 mg / kg is administered. After a single oral administration of composition E according to the prior art, the maximum concentration C of the compound of formula (I) according to the present invention is obtained 30 minutes to 2 hours after administration, which is 4.69 μM when a dose of 150 mg / kg is administered. Thus, the maximum concentration C is greater after oral administration of composition F according to the present invention than after oral administration of composition E according to the prior art.

[0125] Considering the results, composition F according to the invention allows a faster absorption (see Tmax) and a better exposure (AUC 0-inf (See reference).

[0126] Furthermore, the oral bioavailability is about 62.46% after a single oral administration of composition F according to the present invention and about 2.81% after a single oral administration of composition E according to the prior art.

[0127] Thus, composition F according to the invention allows a better oral bioavailability of the compound of formula (I) than composition E according to the prior art.
