Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to fulvestrant prodrugs and processes for their preparation. The present disclosure also relates to pharmaceutical compositions of fulvestrant prodrugs and methods of treatment using the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Fulvestrant is an estrogen receptor antagonist marketed as Faslodex™ for the treatment of hormone receptor-positive metastatic breast cancer in postmenopausal women whose disease has progressed after anti-estrogen therapy. Fulvestrant has demonstrated clinical efficacy in patients who have failed tamoxifen. Therefore, among the many drugs used to treat breast cancer, fulvestrant is the only anti-estrogen that can be widely used in clinical treatment after tamoxifen failure, providing a new approach to treating hormone-sensitive breast cancer. Because fulvestrant has poor solubility and oral bioavailability, the drug is currently administered by intramuscular injection of an oil-based fulvestrant formulation. The Faslodex™ product is approved for intramuscular administration on days 1, 15, and 29, and monthly thereafter. This injection contains up to 10% benzyl alcohol, which can act as an anesthetic, and castor oil, which can be painful to inject due to its high viscosity, is used as a release rate modifier. According to the FDA drug approval summary, injection site reactions and hot flashes have been observed.
[0003] Fulvestrant is a highly lipophilic molecule that is poorly soluble in water, which limits its bioavailability. Drugs with low solubility often have low bioavailability and require high doses to achieve therapeutically effective blood drug concentrations.
[0004] Patent Document 1 describes that intramuscular injections of fulvestrant in the form of aqueous suspensions are unsuitable for use: these suspensions lead to severe local tissue irritation at the injection site and an insufficient release profile due to the presence of fulvestrant in solid particle form.
[0005] The use of prodrugs allows those skilled in the art to alter one or more properties of a biologically active compound. Prodrugs include chemical derivatives of a biologically active parent compound that, when administered, ultimately liberate the active parent compound in vivo. The release rate of the active drug is affected by several factors, including the hydrolysis rate of the linker that connects the biologically active parent compound to the prodrug carrier.
[0006] Patent Document 2 discloses a boron-based fulvestrant prodrug for the treatment of breast cancer. This application also discloses the need to improve the bioavailability of fulvestrant to make it a more effective treatment regimen for tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer. Despite the clinical effectiveness of fulvestrant, its usefulness is limited by the amount of drug that can be administered in a single injection and by reduced bioavailability.
[0007] Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that fulvestrant undergoes rapid and extensive O-glucuronidation and O-sulfation to form inactive, water-soluble, polar phase II metabolites.
[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a compound or a salt thereof that can overcome the above problems and is rapidly metabolized to produce fulvestrant in the body. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
