[0095] Compound (I) can be used in combination with various therapeutic or prophylactic agents for diseases that can be treated by compound (I). Such combination may be administered simultaneously, or separately, consecutively, or at desired time intervals. The simultaneously administered formulation may be a combination formulation or individually formulated formulations.
[0096] Next, we will describe pharmaceutical preparations (hereinafter also referred to as "pharmaceutical compositions") that contain compound (I) as an active ingredient.
[0097] The above-mentioned pharmaceutical formulation is a formulation of compound (I) in the form of a conventional pharmaceutical formulation, and is prepared using compound (I) or a salt thereof and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Examples of such carriers include commonly used fillers, bulking agents, binders, humectants, disintegrants, surfactants, lubricants, suspending agents, solubilizers, isotonic agents, solvents, and other diluents or excipients.
[0098] Such pharmaceutical preparations can be selected from various forms depending on the therapeutic purpose, and examples include tablets, pills, powders, liquids, suspensions, emulsions, granules, capsules, suppositories, injections, nasal sprays, and inhalants, with injections being particularly preferred. Injectable preparations include intramuscular injections and subcutaneous injections, with subcutaneous injections being particularly preferred.
[0099] A wide range of known carriers can be used when forming tablets, such as excipients including lactose, sucrose, sodium chloride, glucose, urea, starch, calcium carbonate, kaolin, and crystalline cellulose; binders including water, ethanol, propanol, simple syrup, glucose solution, starch solution, gelatin solution, carboxymethylcellulose, shellac, methylcellulose, potassium phosphate, and polyvinylpyrrolidone; and dried starch, sodium alginate, agar powder, laminaran powder, and sodium bicarbonate. Examples of additives include: disintegrants such as calcium carbonate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, sodium lauryl sulfate, monoglyceride stearate, starch, and lactose; disintegration inhibitors such as sucrose, stearin, cocoa butter, and hydrogenated oil; absorption enhancers such as quaternary ammonium bases and sodium lauryl sulfate; humectants such as glycerin and starch; adsorbents such as starch, lactose, kaolin, bentonite, and colloidal silicic acid; and lubricants such as refined talc, stearate, boric acid powder, and polyethylene glycol.
[0100] Furthermore, the tablets may be coated with a standard tablet shell as needed, such as sugar-coated tablets, gelatin-coated tablets, enteric-coated tablets, film-coated tablets, or double-layered tablets.
[0101] A wide range of known carriers can be used when forming the product into pill form, such as excipients including glucose, lactose, starch, cocoa butter, hydrogenated vegetable oil, kaolin, and talc; binders including gum arabic powder, tragacanth powder, gelatin, and ethanol; and disintegrants including laminaran and agar.
[0102] A wide range of known carriers can be used when forming the suppository, including polyethylene glycol, cocoa butter, higher alcohols, esters of higher alcohols, gelatin, and semi-synthetic glycerides.
[0103] When prepared as an injectable preparation, the liquid, emulsion, and suspension preparations are preferably sterilized and isotonic with blood. Diluents widely known and used in forming these liquid, emulsion, and suspension preparations can be water, ethanol, propylene glycol, ethoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxylated isostearyl alcohol, polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, etc. In this case, a sufficient amount of sodium chloride, glucose, amino acids, or glycerin to prepare an isotonic solution may be included in the pharmaceutical preparation, as well as conventional solubilizers, buffers, analgesics, etc., and, if necessary, preservatives, stabilizers, antioxidants, solubilizers, and pH adjusters. It may contain other pharmaceuticals or ingredients.
[0104] Brexpiprazole is known to be useful in alleviating symptoms of Alzheimer's disease accompanied by severe agitation, destructiveness, and violent behavior. Since rapid-release injectable antipsychotics are known to be useful as symptomatic treatments for acute patients with severe agitation, destructiveness, and violent behavior in schizophrenia and other conditions, an injectable brexpiprazole that rapidly releases into the bloodstream is expected to be useful as a symptomatic treatment for acute patients with agitation in schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. A pharmaceutical composition containing compound (1), designed in a preferred injectable form according to medical needs, is expected to deliver a rapidly effective therapeutic dose of brexpiprazole into the patient's bloodstream in a short time (e.g., several hours) when administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, thereby enabling rapid onset of action in acute applications such as agitation. Examples of preferred injectable forms for such acute-phase injections include, as necessary, appropriate isotonic agents, buffers, pH adjusters, solubilizers, etc. In addition, an injectable preparation may be obtained by dissolving compound (1) in water for injection, a biocompatible organic solvent, or a mixture of water for injection and a biocompatible organic solvent. The solubilizing agents include polysorbate 80, polysorbate 60, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil 60, poloxamer, β-cyclodextrin, and sulfobutyl ether-β-sulfobutyl ether. Clodextrin is one example. Examples of isotonic agents include alkali metal chlorides such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride; sugar alcohols such as mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, and maltitol; sugars such as glucose, trehalose, and maltose; and glycerin. The composition may not contain an isotonic agent, but if it does, the concentration of the isotonic agent in the composition is preferably such that the osmotic pressure of the solution of the composition is isotonic. Depending on the type of isotonic agent, for example, in the case of alkali metal chlorides, it is preferably 0.5 to 20 mg / mL, more preferably 2 to 10 mg / mL, and in the case of sugar alcohols and sugars, it is preferably 10 mg / mL to 200 mg / mL, more preferably 20 to 100 mg / mL. Examples of buffering agents include phosphates such as sodium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, monosodium hydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, potassium phosphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and dipotassium hydrogen phosphate; borates such as sodium borate and potassium borate; citrates such as sodium citrate and disodium citrate; acetates such as sodium acetate and potassium acetate; carbonates such as sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate; trishydroxymethylaminomethane (Tris), etc. The concentration of the buffering agent in the composition is, for example, 0.01 to 5.0 mg / mL, preferably 0.1 to 2 mg / mL.
[0105] The pH adjuster may be either an acidic or basic pH adjuster. Examples of acidic pH adjusters include hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, and citric acid. Examples of basic pH adjusters include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, and magnesium hydroxide. The pH adjuster is usually added in an appropriate amount depending on the desired pH of the composition. Examples of biocompatible organic solvents include those that are miscible with water, such as alcohols like ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, and glycerin, as well as dimethyl sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol 300, or polyethylene glycol 400. In the treatment of agitation associated with schizophrenia, depression, and Alzheimer's disease, treatment is often carried out with once-daily tablets. However, in cases of medication refusal or agitation, taking tablets can be difficult. In such cases, a sustained-release injectable preparation (preferably dermal) administered every one to several days may be used. Subcutaneous or intramuscular administration of a sustained-release injectable formulation is considered a useful preparation because it ensures reliable drug delivery and offers convenience. A pharmaceutical composition containing compound (1), designed in a preferred injectable form to meet medical needs, can be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly, allowing for the sustained delivery of a therapeutically effective dose of brexpiprazole into the patient's bloodstream for a relatively short period (1 to several days), even in patients who have difficulty taking tablets, thus enabling the onset of drug effects over 1 to several days. In the treatment of schizophrenia, sustained-release injectable formulations are useful for improving the therapeutic and preventive effects in patients with poor medication adherence. Generally, for a drug to exert its therapeutic effect, it is desirable for the blood drug concentration to rapidly reach the therapeutic level and then be maintained at a constant level. Representative sustained-release injectable formulations for schizophrenia include aripiprazole and paliperidone palmitate (trade names: Abilify sustained-release suspension for intramuscular injection and Xeplion suspension for intramuscular injection). However, these drugs are poorly soluble and dissolution after administration is slow, so oral medications are often used in combination or the injection interval is shortened to compensate for the blood drug concentration at the start of treatment. A pharmaceutical composition containing compound (1), designed in a preferred injectable form to meet medical needs, can be administered subcutaneously or intramuscularly to rapidly and continuously deliver a therapeutically effective amount of brexpiprazole into the patient's bloodstream for a relatively short period (1 to 4 weeks or more), even in patients who are not expected to achieve sufficient therapeutic or preventive effects due to poor medication adherence. This is expected to improve the therapeutic or preventive effects in such patients.
[0106] Examples of preferred injectable formulations for sustained delivery of brexpiprazole over 1 to several days or 1 to 4 weeks or more include compound (1), suspending agent, and dispersion medium. Examples of pharmaceutical compositions include those containing and in the form of a suspension. The concentration of compound (1) in the composition is not particularly limited as long as it is an effective concentration according to the intended use of the composition. The concentration of compound (1) in the composition is, for example, 50 mg / mL or more, preferably 100 mg / mL or more, more preferably 150 mg / mL or more, in terms of brexpiprazole equivalent, Preferably, the concentration is 200 mg / mL or 250 mg / mL or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but examples include 1000 mg / mL or less, 750 mg / mL or less, or 500 mg / mL or less. For example, it can be used in the range of 50 to 1000 mg / mL. The suspending agent contained in the composition is not particularly limited, as long as it is pharmaceutically acceptable and can achieve a predetermined viscosity. Examples of suspending agents include carboxymethylcellulose and its salts; polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer such as poloxamer. Examples include rimers; polyethylene glycol (also known as "macrogol"), etc. Examples of carboxymethylcellulose salts include metal salts such as alkali metal salts and ammonium salts. Specifically, examples include sodium carboxymethylcellulose, potassium carboxymethylcellulose, lithium carboxymethylcellulose, ammonium carboxymethylcellulose, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the suspending agent preferably contains carboxymethylcellulose and / or its sodium salt, and particularly preferably contains sodium carboxymethylcellulose. One type of suspending agent It may be used alone or in combination of two or more types. The concentration of the suspending agent in the composition is For example, 0.1 mg / mL or more, preferably 0.2 mg / mL or more, and more preferably 0.5 mg / mL or more. The concentration of the suspending agent in the composition is, for example, 100 mg / mL or less, preferably 50 mg / mL or less. More preferably, the concentration is 25 mg / mL or less. The concentration of the suspending agent in the composition is, for example, 0.1 to 50 mg / mL.
[0107] The dispersion medium included in the composition is not particularly limited, as long as it is pharmaceutically acceptable and capable of dispersing the active ingredient. The dispersion medium may be a single type or a combination of two or more types. The dispersion medium preferably contains at least water. Examples of such dispersion mediums include water, physiological saline, and solvents containing water and a biocompatible organic solvent. In preferred embodiments, the dispersion medium is water, and it is particularly preferable to use purified water, sterile purified water, or water for injection. The composition may contain further optional additives. Such additives are not particularly limited as long as they are pharmaceutically acceptable, and include, for example, the isotonic agents, buffers, pH adjusters, etc. The additives may be used individually or in combination of two or more. The average particle size of the suspended compound (1) is, for example, 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.5 to 20 μm. Yes, such a range is preferable in that it allows the effect to last for a long time. On the other hand, if you want to obtain a high blood drug concentration immediately after administration, the average particle size of the suspended compound (1) should be, for example, 500 nm or less. Preferably, the particle size is 50 to 500 nm. The average particle size is determined by laser diffraction scattering. The average particle diameter is measured. For measuring the average particle diameter using laser diffraction scattering, for example, the SALD-3100 or SALD-2300 (manufacturer: Shimadzu Corporation) can be used. As a method for preparing the above composition, it is preferable to use a wet grinding method. Wet grinding methods include wet ball milling, high pressure homogenization, and high shear homogenization. A bead mill (e.g., a Dino mill) is preferred. In addition to the grinding method described above, other low and high energy mills (e.g., roller mills) can also be used. Other preparation methods include controlled crystallization.
[0108] In one embodiment, the composition is produced by a method comprising, for example, step 1 of mixing compound (1), a suspending agent, and a dispersion medium; step 2 of bead milling the suspension obtained by the mixing; and step 3 of removing beads from the suspension obtained by bead milling. This is possible. In step 1, the mixing order of each component is not particularly limited. One embodiment In this process, step 1 is a step of mixing components other than the active ingredient to obtain a vehicle solution, and the The process consists of mixing the vehicle solution and the active ingredient. In step 2, the bead mill The method is not particularly limited. In one embodiment, step 2 is to add beads to the suspension This is a process of stirring. Examples of bead materials include zirconia, alumina, and glass. The diameter of the beads is, for example, 0.1 to 5 mm, preferably 0.2 to 3 mm. The average particle size of the compound (1) particles obtained by the bead mill can be appropriately adjusted by the size of the beads, the rotation speed (peripheral speed) during grinding, the grinding time, etc. In step 3, The method for removing the beads is not particularly limited. In one embodiment, step 3 is performed more than the beads This step involves recovering the composition using a small-pore needle (e.g., 22G or less), a pipette, or a mesh filter (e.g., 80μm mesh). Another example of a preferred form of injectable formulation for sustained delivery of brexpiprazole over 1 to several days or 1 to 4 weeks or more is a low-viscosity precursor formulation comprising a mixture of compound (1), a plurality of liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids, and at least one biocompatible organic solvent, which forms, or can form, at least one liquid crystal phase structure or lipid gel upon contact with an aqueous fluid in vivo. The precursor formulation typically does not contain a significant amount of water before administration and is a low-viscosity liquid or suspension obtained by dissolving a plurality of liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids in a biocompatible organic solvent. The pre-liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids are certain amphiphilic components, preferably a combination of at least one diacylglycerol and at least one phosphatidylcholine. By dissolving the pre-liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids in at least one biocompatible organic solvent, a low-viscosity solution can be prepared, and by including compound (1) in a dissolved or suspended state in these solutions, a preferred low-viscosity liquid or suspension precursor formulation can be prepared. Such precursor formulations, upon contact with aqueous fluids in the body after administration, form a liquid crystal phase structure or a high-viscosity lipid gel. Generally, the aqueous fluid is a body fluid, particularly extravascular fluid, extracellular / interstitial fluid, or plasma, and the precursor formulation forms a liquid crystal phase structure or a high-viscosity lipid gel upon contact with such fluid (e.g., in vivo fluid).
[0109] A precursor formulation, which is a low-viscosity liquid or suspension, refers to a liquid or suspension that can be easily administered to a subject, particularly a mixture that can be easily administered by a device consisting of a standard syringe and needle. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the precursor formulation in which compound (1) is dissolved, or the medium before compound (1) is suspended, should be a mixture that can pass through a standard sterile filtration membrane such as a 0.22 μm syringe filter. A typical range of preferred viscosity is, for example, 0.1 to 5000 mPa·s at 20°C, preferably 1 to 1000 mPa·s, and more preferably 1 to 500 mPa·s. The viscosity described above is measured using a rotary rheometer at a shear rate in the range of 9000 to 10000 (1 / s) under conditions of 20°C. Examples of rotary rheometers include the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer-2 (DHR-2) or the Discovery Hybrid Rheometer-3 (DHR-3) (manufacturer: TA Instruments). The aforementioned precursor formulation may form a liquid crystal structure called a lyotropic liquid crystal when the amphiphilic compound (multiple types of liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids) is exposed to an aqueous fluid after administration to the body. Examples of such liquid crystal structures include hexagonal structures where cylindrical aggregates form a hexagonal crystal system, lamellar structures, inverted hexagonal structures where water is incorporated into the cylinder and the lipophilic portion is directed outward, cubic structures where spherical micelles form a cubic crystal in a continuous water (or oil) phase, and bicontinuous cubic structures where lipid bilayers form a three-dimensionally connected curved surface. The inventors have discovered that by administering a precursor formulation and then forming the aforementioned liquid crystal or lipid gel, the release of compound (1) after administration is controlled, and the released compound (1) is converted to brexpiprazole in vivo, thereby enabling the sustained delivery of brexpiprazole.
[0110] Furthermore, by injecting the precursor formulation into water and observing the formation of a solid, it is possible to confirm whether a gel or liquid crystal is formed. Whether a liquid crystal is formed can be confirmed by analyzing the obtained solid using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). In addition, if a liquid crystal is formed and a gel is formed... It is also possible that it is in a liquid crystal gel state. Diacylglycerol has two nonpolar "tail" groups, which may be identical or different, may have the same or different number of carbon atoms, and may be independently saturated or unsaturated. Furthermore, either 1,3-diacylglycerol or 1,2-diacylglycerol can be used. Examples of nonpolar groups include C6-C32 alkyl and C6-C32 alkenyl groups, which typically exist as esters of long-chain carboxylic acids. These are often described in reference to the number of carbon atoms and the number of unsaturated atoms in the carbon chain. Therefore, CX:Z represents a hydrocarbon chain with X carbon atoms and Z unsaturated atoms. Examples include, in particular, the caproyl (C6:0) group, capryloyl (C8:0) group, capryl (C10:0) group, lauroyl (C12:0) group, myristoyl (C14:0) group, palmitoyl (C16:0) group, phytanoyl (C16:0) group, palmitreoyl (C16:1) group, stearoyl (C18:0) group, oleoyl (C18:1) group, elidoyl (C18:1) group, linoleoyl (C18:2) group, linolenoyl (C18:3) group, arachidonoyl (C20:4) group, behenoyl (C22:0) group, and lignoceroyl (C24:9) group. Therefore, typical nonpolar chains are based on fatty acids of natural ester lipids, including caproic acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, phytanic acid, palmitolic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, elaidic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, behenic acid, or lignoceric acid, or their corresponding alcohols. Preferred nonpolar chains are palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid, with oleic acid being particularly preferred. While there are no particular limitations on the diacylglycerol, for example, diacylglycerols having the same or different nonpolar chains as described above are preferred, and among these, glycerol dioleate (GDO) is particularly preferred. Diacylglycerol can be used alone or in combination of two or more types. Phosphatidylcholine (PC) is a glycerophospholipid in which choline is ester-bonded to a phosphate group as the hydrophilic part, and two fatty acids are ester-bonded to the glycerol backbone as the hydrophobic part. Phosphatidylcholine is a general term for phospholipids that make up a structure. Due to the numerous combinations of fatty acids, there are multiple phospholipids belonging to phosphatidylcholine. Suitable sources of phospholipids include eggs, hearts (e.g., bovine hearts), brains, livers (e.g., bovine livers), and plant sources including soybeans. A single PC or a mixture of multiple PCs derived from such material sources may be used, but soybean PC (SPC) or egg-derived PC or mixtures thereof are preferred, and essentially pure SPC (high-purity SPC) is most preferred. As the liquid crystal forming lipid or gel forming lipid, it is preferable to use a combination of at least one diacylglycerol and at least one phosphatidylcholine. In particular, it is preferable to use a combination of one or more of the diacylglycerols specifically described above and one or more of the phosphatidylcholines specifically described above. Particularly preferred combinations of liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids are GDO and PC, and especially GDO and soy PC and / or egg PC.

Alcohols are particularly preferred and form a preferred solvent group. Examples of preferred alcohols include ethanol, isopropanol, propylene glycol, glycerin, and glycerol formal, with ethanol being the most preferred. An example of a ketone is acetone. Examples of esters include n-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) and 2-pyrrolidone. Examples include don and propylene carbonate. Suitable ethers include diethyl ether, glycofurol, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, dimethyl isobarbide, and polyethylene glycol.

Suitable amides and sulfoxides include dimethylacetamide (DMA) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), respectively. Biocompatible organic solvents can be used individually or in combination of two or more. A preferred combination of low-viscosity precursor formulations containing a mixture of multiple liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids and at least one biocompatible organic solvent is a combination of SPC, GDO, and ethanol, and a combination of SPC, GDO, ethanol, and DMSO is also preferred. A preferred low-viscosity precursor formulation is prepared by dissolving or suspending compound (1) in a solution containing multiple liquid crystal-forming lipids or gel-forming lipids and at least one biocompatible organic solvent. Another example of a preferred form of injectable formulation for a sustained-release injectable formulation that delivers brexpiprazole continuously over 1 to several days or 1 to 4 weeks or more is a microsphere containing compound (1) as the active ingredient. Here, microspheres generally refer to spherical formulations with a particle size of several μm to several tens of μm, which may have irregularities on their surface.

Furthermore, if it is necessary to increase the absorption rate to obtain the desired release control characteristics, the average particle size can be reduced, and if it is necessary to decrease the absorption rate, the average particle size can be increased. To obtain the desired release control characteristics of compound (I) and the desired blood drug concentration profile of brexpiprazole, the encapsulation rate of compound (1) in the microspheres of this disclosure is preferably 80% or higher. To improve the encapsulation rate, the amount of active ingredient added to the batch formulation can also be increased.

Here, the molecular weight mentioned above refers to the weight-average molecular weight of polystyrene, measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using polystyrene as the reference material. Furthermore, in lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers, lactic acid:glycolic acid (lactide:glycolide) The ratio is not particularly limited and can be appropriately selected from a wide range, but it is usually around 99:1 to 1:99 in terms of the number of molecules, preferably around 85:15 to 50:50. The polylactic acid may be poly-D-lactic acid, poly-L-lactic acid, or poly-DL-lactic acid, with poly-DL-lactic acid being preferred. The lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer may be D-lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, L-lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, or DL-lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, with DL-lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer being preferred. Polylactic acid or lactic acid-glycolic acid copolymers can be produced by known methods, or commercially available products (e.g., Resomer, Lactel (manufactured by Evonik)) can be used. The microspheres may contain, in addition to the biodegradable polymer, a non-degradable, biocompatible polymer. Furthermore, the microspheres of this disclosure may contain any additives such as emulsifiers.
[0113] The microspheres of this disclosure can be manufactured using the above-described components by methods known in the pharmaceutical field. From the viewpoint of obtaining microspheres with excellent sustained-release performance, fluidity during filling, and permeability to syringes during administration, it is preferable to manufacture the microspheres of this disclosure by including a step of dissolving or suspending compound (I) or a salt thereof and a biodegradable polymer in an organic solvent, emulsifying them in the presence or absence of an emulsifier, and then removing the organic solvent. Furthermore, steps known in the pharmaceutical field (e.g., a filtration step, a granulation step) may also be included. The method for manufacturing microspheres according to this disclosure is described in more detail below. The method for producing microspheres according to the present disclosure includes the steps of: obtaining a solution or suspension containing compound (I) and a biodegradable polymer in an organic solvent; mixing the obtained solution or suspension with water and emulsifying it in the presence or absence of an emulsifier to obtain an emulsion; and removing the organic solvent from the obtained emulsion. First, compound (I) and the biodegradable polymer are dissolved or suspended in an organic solvent to obtain a homogeneous solution or suspension. Compound (I) may be dissolved in the organic solvent or suspended. The biodegradable polymer is preferably dissolved in the organic solvent. The organic solvents used in the production of microspheres according to this disclosure are not particularly limited as long as they can dissolve the biodegradable polymer, but examples include halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, dichloroethane, trichloroethane, dichloromethane, and carbon tetrachloride; ethers such as ethyl ether and isopropyl ether; fatty acid esters such as ethyl acetate and butyl acetate; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; alcohols such as ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, and benzyl alcohol; nitriles such as acetonitrile; amides such as dimethylformamide; and water-miscible or water-immiscible organic solvents such as acetone. These organic solvents may be used individually or in mixtures of two or more. Among these, water-immiscible organic solvents, particularly dichloromethane, are preferred. Furthermore, an acid or base can be added to these organic solvents. Examples of acids include hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, formic acid, gluconic acid, lactic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, and oleic acid, but acetic acid is particularly preferred.
[0114] The ratio of compound (I) or its salt to the organic solvent is typically about 0.01 to 30 parts by weight, preferably about 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, and more preferably about 1 to 10 parts by weight of compound (I) or its salt per 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent. The ratio of biodegradable polymer to organic solvent is typically about 0.01 to 30 parts by weight, preferably about 0.1 to 20 parts by weight, and more preferably about 1 to 10 parts by weight of biodegradable polymer per 100 parts by weight of the organic solvent. Next, the obtained organic solvent solution or suspension (compound (I), biodegradable polymer and organic The solvent is emulsified. That is, the resulting organic solvent solution is mixed with water (so-called outer phase) to obtain an O / W type emulsion in which the organic solvent solution is uniformly dispersed in water, or the resulting organic solvent suspension is mixed with water (so-called outer phase) to obtain an S( A solid-oil-water emulsion is obtained. The water used is not particularly limited, but it is preferably that which is acceptable in the field of pharmaceutical formulations, such as purified water or water for injection. The ratio of organic solvent solution or suspension to water is determined by the desired particle size of the O / W or S / O / W emulsion. While not particularly limited as long as the desired solution is obtained, the amount of organic solvent solution or suspension is usually about 0.001 to 0.2 parts by volume, preferably about 0.005 to 0.1 parts by volume, and more preferably about 0.01 to 0.05 parts by volume, per 1 part by volume of water. In this disclosure, whether a water-miscible or water-immiscible organic solvent is used, an emulsifier may be used. When a water-miscible organic solvent is used, it is preferable to use an emulsifier. The emulsifier used in this disclosure is an O / W type or S / O / W type emulsion, preferably Any material capable of forming a stable O / W or S / O / W emulsion is acceptable, for example. Examples include anionic surfactants such as sodium oleate, sodium stearate, and sodium lauryl sulfate; nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters and polyoxyethylene castor oil derivatives; and polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, lecithin, gelatin, and hyaluronic acid. These emulsifiers may be used individually or in combination of two or more.
[0115] The emulsifier should be added to the aqueous phase before emulsification. The amount of emulsifier used is not particularly limited and can be selected from a wide range, but the concentration of the emulsifier in the aqueous solution is, for example, about 0.0001 to 20% by weight, preferably about 0.001 to 10% by weight. The concentration is, more preferably, about 0.001 to 5% by weight. The method for preparing the O / W type or S / O / W type emulsion is not particularly limited, and the above organic solvent solution Alternatively, a method may be used in which a suspension (containing compound (I) or its salt, a biodegradable polymer, and an organic solvent) is dispersed in water as droplets or micelles of an appropriate size. As an example of this preparation method, a mixture of the above solution or suspension and water is stirred at an appropriate rotational speed using a homogenizer or the like to finely atomize the solution or suspension in water to form an O / W type or S / O / W type emulsion. A method of atomizing the solution or suspension to form an O / W type or S / O / W type emulsion by passing a mixture of the above solution or suspension and water at a constant speed through a filter having fine through-pores such as a ceramic filter, One possible method is to pass the above solution or suspension through a filter at a constant speed to atomize it, and then mix it with water. If necessary, emulsion formation may be carried out in multiple steps. Furthermore, the desired particle size can be obtained by adjusting the stirring force during emulsion formation. In other words, increasing the stirring force during emulsion formation can reduce the particle size. By removing the organic solvent from the obtained O / W or S / O / W emulsion, An aqueous suspension of crossfairs is obtained. The removal of organic solvents is carried out using commonly used methods. These methods include heating while stirring with a propeller-type stirrer or magnetic stirrer, gradually reducing the pressure, or desorption while adjusting the vacuum level using a rotary evaporator. The microsphere suspension thus obtained may be washed to remove free compound (I) adhering to the surface of the microspheres by adding an appropriate solution or solvent as needed. Suitable washing solutions and solvents include alkaline solutions such as ethanol and 1N sodium hydroxide solution. The following steps are taken: After separating the microspheres by centrifugation or filtration, the free compounds (I), emulsifiers, etc. adhering to the surface of the microspheres are washed several times with distilled water, and if necessary, with an appropriate solution or solvent. Suitable washing solutions and solvents include ethanol and Examples include alkaline solutions such as 1N sodium hydroxide solution. If necessary, after dispensing, heat. By reducing the pressure, the desorption of water and solvent from the microspheres can be more complete. Alternatively, the washed microspheres can be resuspended in water, either in the presence or absence of sugars, sugar alcohols, or other additives, and then freeze-dried to obtain microsphere powder. The freeze-drying conditions are not particularly limited as long as the microspheres can be dried.
[0116] Furthermore, the dried microspheres may be sieved through a sieve as needed to obtain microspheres having the desired average particle size. The microspheres of this disclosure, and in particular the microspheres obtained by the above manufacturing method, have excellent sustained-release properties. The microspheres of this disclosure can release compound (I) or a salt thereof in a therapeutic dose for a period of at least one week, more preferably two, three, or four weeks, and even more preferably six weeks or more. The above effects are particularly evident when the microspheres of this disclosure are provided as an aqueous suspension for injection in water for injection. The microspheres of this disclosure obtained by the above manufacturing method typically have a spherical shape. The spherical shape of the microspheres of this disclosure provides good fluidity during filling in manufacturing and good syringe passage (needle penetration) during administration, and also reduces irritation at the injection site when administered as an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. The microspheres of this disclosure can be administered to a patient, for example, as an aqueous suspension injection comprising microspheres containing compound (I), a vehicle therefor, and water for injection. Alternatively, in another form, the microspheres of this disclosure can be administered to a patient, for example, as an oily suspension injection comprising microspheres containing compound (I), a vehicle therefor if necessary, and an oil. The oil here is preferably, for example, a triglyceride (particularly a medium-chain triglyceride). The microsphere content of the suspension injection of this disclosure is not particularly limited as long as the microspheres are dispersed in the injection, but is usually about 5 to 50% by weight, preferably about 10 to 40% by weight, and more preferably about 10 to 30% by weight. Examples of vehicles used in this disclosure include the aforementioned suspending agents, isotonic agents, buffering agents, pH adjusters, and the like.

The specific dose of a substance administered to obtain therapeutic benefits will, of course, be determined by specific circumstances, such as the specific substance administered, the route of administration, the disease being treated, and the individual being treated. For example, a pharmaceutical preparation may contain compound (I) or a salt thereof in an amount of 1 to 70% by weight, calculated as compound (I).
[0118] For example, in subcutaneous or intramuscular administration, a daily dose that can yield satisfactory results is on the order of approximately 0.001 to 1.5 mg / kg. The daily dose prescribed for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration is in the range of approximately 0.1 mg to 500 mg, more preferably 0.1 to 100 mg, and may be preferably administered once a day or in 2 to 4 divided doses. Accordingly, the unit dosage form for subcutaneous or intramuscular administration may contain, for example, approximately 0.1 mg to 500 mg of compound (I) or its salt, together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier. The upper or lower limit of this range (0.1 mg to 500 mg) may be, for example, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 300, or 400 mg.

Three reference compounds that showed irritation when administered subcutaneously to dogs were used as positive control compounds, and risperidone, which is commercially available as a subcutaneous injection formulation, was used as a negative control compound.
[0161] (3) Cytotoxicity assessment Commercial kit (Cytotoxicity LDH Assay Kit-WST, Dojindo) and plate reader (TECAN) Using an infinite M1000, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was measured in treatment solutions to which cells had been exposed for approximately 24 hours. Using the obtained measurements, the cytotoxicity (%) of each evaluation compound treatment group was calculated and used as a comparative value, with the untreated group set to 0% and the cell lysis buffer treatment group set to 100%. The test was performed as a triplicate, with 3 wells for each group, and the mean value was adopted. The test was considered valid if clear cytotoxicity was observed in the positive control compound treatment group and almost no cytotoxicity was observed in the negative control compound treatment group.
[0162] (4) Test results (discussion) The table below shows the test results for cytotoxicity (%).

[0164] All of the example compounds in the table above exhibited cytotoxicity equivalent to or less than that of the negative control, risperidone. Furthermore, Reference Example 4 compound (REX 4), a quaternary ammonium compound, was positively controlled. It showed stronger cytotoxicity than the reference example compound (REX 3) set as the reference. The example compound was shown to have lower cytotoxicity than the reference example compound 4.
[0165] Confirmation test for conversion to brexpiprazole The conversion of the evaluation compound to brexpiprazole in the buffer (i.e., the stability of the evaluation compound) was evaluated.
[0166] Example 1: The compound was diluted with acetonitrile / water (1:1, v / v) to a concentration of 10 mmol / L. It was dissolved and then further diluted to 100 μmol / L with acetonitrile / water (1:1, v / v) before use.
[0167] Furthermore, the other example compounds and Reference Examples 5-7 compounds, with the exception of the compounds described below, were each dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 10 mmol / L, and then further diluted with acetonitrile to 100 μmol / L before use. Examples 52, 95, 96, 117, 130 (EX 52, EX 95, EX 96, EX 117, EX 130) For the compound, dissolve it in acetonitrile / water (8:2, v / v) at a concentration of 10 mmol / L, and then... Furthermore, it was diluted to 100 μmol / L with acetonitrile before use. For compound 97 (EX 97), acetonitrile / water (8:2, v / v) was used. Dissolve in 0 mmol / L, then dilute to 100 μmol / L with acetonitrile / water (8:2, v / v). It was used after being diluted. For the compounds in Examples 15 and 116 (EX 15, EX 116), they were dissolved in DMSO at a concentration of 1 mmol / L and then further diluted with acetonitrile to a concentration of 100 μmol / L before use.
[0168] These evaluation compound solutions were prepared immediately before use.
[0169] The reaction was carried out by preparing the reaction solution so that the final concentrations of each component were as follows. The test was also performed using duplicate samples.
[0170] Composition Final concentration Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) 50 mmol / L Magnesium chloride 5 mmol / L Evaluation compound solution 1 μmol / L
[0171] For compounds 1-8, 10-19, 26-27, 37, 50, 87-89, 91, 116, 121, 123, 150, and 151 (EX1-8, 10-19, 26-27, 37, 50, 87-89, 91, 116, 121, 123, 150, and 151), and compounds 5-7 (REX5-7), the reaction solution without the evaluation compound (198 μl) was pre-incubated at 37°C for 3 minutes, then the evaluation compound solution (2 μl) was added and stirred, followed by incubation at 37°C. The reaction was initiated. At 0 or 60 minutes after the start of the reaction, a reaction stop solution (1000 μl) consisting of acetonitrile / isopropanol (4:1, v / v) containing an internal standard substance was added and stirred to stop the reaction. However, the 0-minute reaction sample (198 μl) was prepared by adding the evaluation compound (2 μl) after adding the reaction stop solution (1000 μl). The sample after reaction stoppage was used as the measurement sample. Same composition. Calibration curve samples were prepared (final concentrations of the evaluation compound and brexpiprazole: 0.01, 0.1, and 1 μmol / L, however, for the evaluation compound only, the 0-minute reaction sample was also used as a 1 μmol / L calibration curve sample). Examples 24-25, 28-29, 32-36, 40-49, 51-60, 62-64, 66-77, 80-86, 90, 92-111, 113, 115, 117-120, 122, 124-130, 132-147, 152-160 Compound (EX24-25, 28-29, 32-36, 40-49, 51-60, 62-64, 66 For samples ~77, 80~86, 90, 92~111, 113, 115, 117~120, 122, 124~130, 132~147, and 152~160, a reaction solution (148.5 μL) without the evaluation compound was pre-incubated at 37°C for 3 minutes, then the evaluation compound solution (1.5 μL) was added and stirred before starting the reaction at 37°C. The reaction was stopped at 0 minutes or 60 minutes after the start of the reaction by adding a reaction stop solution (600 μL) consisting of acetonitrile / isopropanol (4:1, v / v) containing an internal standard and stirring. However, the 0-minute reaction sample (148.5 μL) was prepared by adding the evaluation compound (1.5 μL) after adding the reaction stop solution (600 μL). The post-stop sample was used as the measurement sample. Calibration curve samples of the same composition were prepared (final concentrations of the evaluation compound and brexpiprazole: 0.01, 0.1, 1 μmol / L; however, for the evaluation compound only, the 0-minute reaction sample was also used as a 1 μmol / L calibration curve sample).
[0172] For compounds 1-8, 10-19, 26-27, 37, 50, 87-89, 91, 116, 121, 123, 150, and 151 (EX1-8, 10-19, 26-27, 37, 50, 87-89, 91, 116, 121, 123, 150, and 151), and compounds 5-7 (REX5-7), the obtained measurement samples and calibration curve samples were centrifuged. The supernatant is diluted as needed with a mixture of acetonitrile / isopropanol (4:1, v / v) and analyzed using a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC: Shimadzu Prominence UFLC system). The compounds, brexpiprazole, and internal label were evaluated by injection into a TEM (MS: SCIEX API4000). We measured the quasi-substance. Examples 24-25, 28-29, 32-36, 40-49, 51-60, 62-64, 66-77, 80-86, 90, 92-111, 113, 115, 117-120, 122, 124-130, 132-147, 152-160 Compound (EX24-25, 28-29, 32-36, 40-49, 51-60, 62-64, 66-77, 80-86, 90, 92-111, 113, For samples 115, 117-120, 122, 124-130, 132-147, and 152-160, the obtained measurement samples and calibration curve samples were centrifuged, and the supernatant was diluted as appropriate with a mixture of ultrapure water and acetonitrile / isopropanol (4:1, v / v) to a ratio of 20% ultrapure water. The measurement samples were then injected into a liquid chromatograph-tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC: Shimadzu Prominence UFLC system, MS: SCIEX Triple Quad 4500) to measure the evaluation compound, brexpiprazole, and internal standard. Ionization was performed using electrospray ionization with a cation detection method, employing a selective reaction detection method using the set precursor and product ions. The internal standard substance used was the deuterized form of brexpiprazole (Brexpiprazole-d8). The residual amounts of the evaluation compound and the amount of brexpiprazole produced in the 0-minute and 60-minute reaction samples were calculated.
[0173] The difference in the amount of the evaluation compound remaining in the 0-minute reaction sample and the 60-minute reaction sample was taken, and the decrease in the 60-minute reaction sample was calculated. Based on this change in the evaluation compound, the stability of the evaluation compound in the buffer was evaluated.
[0174] The conversion of brexpiprazole to brexpiprazole in the 60-minute reaction sample was evaluated based on the amount of brexpiprazole produced in the 60-minute reaction sample. If brexpiprazole was detected in the 0-minute reaction sample, the difference between the amount of brexpiprazole produced in the 0-minute reaction sample and the 60-minute reaction sample was taken, and the increase in the 60-minute reaction sample was calculated. The stability of the evaluation compound in the buffer was evaluated based on this change in brexpiprazole.
[0175] The test results are shown in the table below. The decrease in concentration of the evaluated compound (μmol / L) and the brexpiprazole production concentration (μmol / L) were tested using duplicates, and the average value was adopted.
[0176] [Table 5] TIFF2026082788000137.tif251170TIFF2026082788000138.tif251170TIFF2026082788000139.tif181170
[0177] [Consideration] The compound used in the example is a quaternary ammonium compound, the same as the control compounds (Reference Examples 5, 6, and 7), but it is stable in the buffer and does not convert to brexpiprazole. On the other hand, the control compounds clearly decompose to brexpiprazole. This indicates that the compound used in the example in this application is stable for formulation and has the potential to be handled stably as a prodrug of brexpiprazole.
[0178] Example 1: Preparation of a pharmaceutical composition of the compound - 1 (Example A) (1.25 mg / mL Solution formulation of compound 1 in Example 1) The compound from Example 1 was dissolved at a concentration of 1.25 mg / mL in phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) containing 10% dimethyl sulfoxide and 0.09% polysorbate 80. (Example B) (0.5 mg / mL Solution formulation of compound 1 from Example 1) Approximately 80% of the final prepared volume of sterile water for injection is weighed out, and D-mannitol and monosodium phosphate monohydrate are added. The mixture was added and stirred to dissolve it. Compound 1 of Example was then added and stirred to disperse it. A 1 M sodium hydroxide solution was gradually added to dissolve Compound 1 of Example, and the pH was adjusted to 8.0. After adding the necessary amount of sterile water for injection to reach the final volume, the mixture was aseptically filtered through a filtration filter (0.2 μm, PVDF membrane). The composition per 1 mL is shown in the table below. [Table 6] (Example C) (5.0 mg / mL Compound 1 solution formulation) Approximately 80% of the final prepared volume of sterile water for injection is weighed out, and D-mannitol and monosodium phosphate monohydrate are added. The mixture was added and stirred to dissolve it. Compound 1 of Example was then added and stirred to disperse it. A 1M sodium hydroxide solution was gradually added to dissolve Compound 1 of Example, and the pH was adjusted to 8.9. After adding the necessary amount of sterile water for injection to reach the final volume, the mixture was aseptically filtered through a filtration filter (0.2 μm, PVDF membrane). The composition per 1 mL is shown in the table below. [Table 7]
[0179] Evaluation of the pharmaceutical composition of Example A The pharmaceutical composition of Example A (1.25 mg / mL solution formulation of Compound 1 of Example A) was administered subcutaneously to male rats, and the plasma concentrations of Compound 1 of Example A and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from Nippon SLC Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in the experiment after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: no restrictions, 3 rats per cage, temperature: 23±2℃, humidity: 60±10%, lighting time: 7:00-19:00. Rats under isoflurane anesthesia were administered subcutaneously to the back using a plastic syringe. The dose was 1.25 mg / kg. Approximately 0.3 mL of blood was collected from the jugular vein at 5, 10, 20, 30, 45 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours after administration. The blood was quickly heparinized and cooled with ice, and the plasma was separated by centrifugation. The compound concentration was quantified by LC-MS. Figure 1 shows the plasma drug concentration profile after subcutaneous administration of the pharmaceutical composition of Example A (1.25 mg / mL solution formulation of Compound 1 of Example 1). Since Compound 1 of Example 1 and brexpiprazole were detected in the plasma 5 minutes after administration, it is considered that Compound 1 of Example 1 rapidly reaches the blood and systemic area from the subcutaneous tissue, and brexpiprazole is rapidly generated in the blood. Furthermore, since the peak plasma concentration of brexpiprazole was reached 1 hour after subcutaneous administration, a rapid exertion of pharmacological effects can be expected. Therefore, the solution pharmaceutical composition containing Compound 1 of Example 1 is expected to rapidly generate brexpiprazole in the body after subcutaneous administration, and the generated brexpiprazole will exert its pharmacological effects, for example, in the acute phase of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease. This pharmaceutical composition is expected to be useful as a treatment for alleviating the symptoms of agitation in patients.
[0180] Preparation of pharmaceutical composition of compound 1 - 2 (Example D) (150 mg / g aqueous suspension formulation of compound 1) Dissolve the following components in sterile water for injection to achieve the concentrations of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) (1.0% (w / w)), sodium chloride (0.9% (w / w)), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (0.074% (w / w)), and adjust the pH to 6.8 with sodium hydroxide. The prepared aqueous solution was aseptically filtered in a clean bench using a filtration filter (0.2 μm, PES membrane). The compound from Example 1 was added to this aqueous solution to the indicated concentration (150 mg / g) to prepare a primary aqueous suspension. To this primary aqueous suspension, an autoclaved magnetic stirrer and 1 g of autoclaved 1.0 mm diameter zirconia beads were added. After adding the ingredients and sealing the container, the mixture was stirred for 21 hours under 5°C conditions, then wet-ground to create a secondary aqueous suspension. A mixture was prepared. Using a sterile pipette, only the secondary aqueous suspension was collected from the zirconia bead mixture. The particle size distribution of this secondary aqueous suspension was measured using a laser diffraction particle size analyzer SALD-3100 (Shimadzu Corporation). After 1 minute of ultrasonic irradiation using the built-in device, the measurement was performed with a refractive index of 2.00 - 0.20i, and the average particle size was found to be 1.9 μm.
[0181] Evaluation of the pharmaceutical composition of Example D The pharmaceutical composition of Example D (aqueous suspension of the compound from Example 1 at 150 mg / g) was administered subcutaneously to male rats, and the plasma concentrations of the compound from Example 1 and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from SLC Japan Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in experiments after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: No restrictions, Number of individuals per cage: 3, Temperature: 23±2℃, Humidity: 60±10%, Lighting time: 7:00-19:00. The drug was administered subcutaneously to the back of rats under isoflurane anesthesia using a plastic syringe. The dose was adjusted to 25 mg / kg in terms of brexpiprazole equivalent. Approximately 0.5 mL of blood was collected on the hour, day 1, day 3, day 6, day 9, and day 14. The blood was immediately heparinized and cooled with ice, and the plasma was separated by centrifugation. The compound concentration was quantified by LC-MS. Example D Figure 2 shows the plasma drug concentration profile after subcutaneous administration of the pharmaceutical composition (150 mg / g aqueous suspension formulation of the compound in Example 1) to male rats. When the pharmaceutical composition of Example D was administered subcutaneously, two hours after administration, the compound of Example 1 and brek were observed. Spiprazole was detected. Plasma brexpiprazole concentrations were elevated from 2 hours to 24 hours after administration. The value remained almost constant during the interval, but decreased rapidly from the third day onward. Therefore, the compound of Example 1 The aqueous suspension injection of the substance is expected to exert its pharmacological effect by maintaining plasma brexpiprazole levels for approximately one day after subcutaneous administration. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition in which the compound from Example 1 is suspended in injection water rapidly generates brexpiprazole in the body after subcutaneous administration, maintains a nearly constant plasma brexpiprazole level for one day after administration, and exerts the pharmacological effect of brexpiprazole. Because it is expected to exert its therapeutic effect, it is convenient for daily use subcutaneous administration to patients with schizophrenia, depression, or agitation in Alzheimer's disease who tend to refuse medication. It is expected to be a useful pharmaceutical composition as an injectable agent.
[0182] Example 1: Preparation of a Compound Pharmaceutical Composition - 3 (Example E) (159 mg / g aqueous suspension formulation of zinc salt compound from Example 1) Dissolve the following components in sterile water for injection to achieve the concentrations of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na) (1.0% (w / w)), D-mannitol (4.5% (w / w)), and sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (0.074% (w / w)), and adjust the pH to 6.0 with sodium hydroxide. The aqueous solution was aseptically filtered in a clean bench using a filtration filter (0.2 μm, PES membrane) to prepare a suspension medium. 757 mg of the zinc salt of the Example 1 compound and 3873 mg of the suspension medium were weighed out and mixed. The average particle size of the resulting suspension particles was 3.9 μm. The average particle size was measured using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer, SALD-3100 (Shimadzu Corporation). After 1 minute of ultrasonic irradiation using the built-in device, measurements were taken with a refractive index of 2.00 -0.20i. .
[0183] Evaluation of the pharmaceutical composition of Example E The pharmaceutical composition of Example E (159 mg / g aqueous suspension of the zinc salt compound of Example 1) was applied to male rats. The drugs were administered, and the plasma concentrations of the Example 1 compound and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from SLC Japan Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in experiments after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: No restrictions, Number of individuals per cage: 3, Temperature: 23±2℃, Humidity: 60±10%, Lighting time: 7:00-19:00. Rats under isoflurane anesthesia were administered subcutaneously via glass syringe to the back. The dose was adjusted to 25 mg / kg in terms of brexpiprazole equivalent. Approximately 0.5 mL of blood was collected at 2 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 6 days, 9 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after administration. The blood was rapidly heparified. The plasma was treated with ionization and ice cooling, separated by centrifugation, and the compound concentration was quantified by LC-MS. The pharmaceutical composition of Example E (159 mg / g aqueous suspension of zinc salt compound from Example 1) was administered subcutaneously to male rats. Figure 3 shows the changes in plasma drug concentration after administration. When the pharmaceutical composition of Example E was administered subcutaneously, two hours after administration, the compound of Example 1 and brek were observed. Spiprazole was detected, and the maximum plasma drug concentration was reached in 24 hours. Compared to Example D, the plasma drug concentrations at 2 hours and 24 hours were suppressed, confirming the sustained-release effect of zinc salt. A constant plasma drug concentration was maintained from day 3 to 14 days prior. Therefore, Example 1 Aqueous suspension injection of a zinc salt compound is expected to exert its pharmacological effect by maintaining brexpiprazole in plasma for 1 to 14 days after subcutaneous administration. Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition in which the zinc salt compound is suspended in injection water in Example 1 is expected to rapidly generate brexpiprazole in the body after subcutaneous administration, maintain brexpiprazole in plasma for several days or more after administration, and exert the pharmacological effect of brexpiprazole. This makes it a highly convenient daily-use formulation for patients with schizophrenia, depression, and agitation in Alzheimer's disease who tend to refuse medication. Therefore, it is expected to be a useful pharmaceutical composition as a subcutaneous injection for weekly use.
[0184] Preparation of a pharmaceutical composition of compound 1 - 4 (Example F) (150 mg / g Liquid crystal / lipid gel formulation of compound from Example 1) Soybean lecithin (soybean phosphatidylcholine; SPC (Lipoid, LIPOID S 100)) and glycerol dioleate (glycerol dioleate; GDO (Merck, Isomeric Mix 1,2 / 1,3-GDO)) were added to ethanol, and the mixture was heated at 40-50°C to dissolve. This solution was filtered through a 0.2 μm disc filter, and the compound from Example 1 was added to the filtrate and volute. The mixture was mixed and homogenized with kus. The composition of the resulting formulation is shown in the table below. [Table 8] (Example G) (159 mg / g Liquid crystal / lipid gel formulation of the zinc salt compound from Example 1) Soybean lecithin (soybean phosphatidylcholine; SPC (Lipoid, LIPOID S 100)) and glycerol dioleate (glycerol dioleate; GDO (Merck, Isomeric Mix 1,2 / 1,3-GDO)) were added to a mixture of DMSO and ethanol and heated to 40-50°C to dissolve. This solution was filtered through a 0.2 μm disc filter, and the zinc salt of the compound from Example 1 was added to the filtrate and mixed by vortex mixing to homogenize it. The composition of the obtained formulation is shown in the table below. [Table 9]
[0185] Evaluation of the pharmaceutical compositions of Examples F and G Viscosity measurement Measurements using a Discovery Hybrid Rheometer (DHR)-2 (manufacturer: TA Instruments) showed that the viscosity of formulation F at a shear rate of 9000-10000 (1 / s) was 402 mPa. It was s. The conditions for the viscosity measurement are as follows: • Shear rate within the measurement range: 0.1 → 10000 (1 / s) • Measurement temperature: 20℃ • Use a 20 mm flat plate. ·Gap:50 μm(40 mm Flat Plate)
[0186] Plasma drug concentration profile The pharmaceutical compositions (formulations) of Examples F and G were administered subcutaneously to male rats, and the plasma concentrations of the compound from Example 1 and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from SLC Japan Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in experiments after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: No restrictions, Number of individuals per cage: 3, Temperature: 23±2℃, Humidity: 60±10%, Lighting time: 7:00-19:00. Rats under isoflurane anesthesia were administered subcutaneously via glass syringe to the back. The dose was adjusted to 25 mg / kg in terms of brexpiprazole equivalent. Approximately 0.5 mL of blood was collected at 2 hours, 1 day, 3 days, 6 days, 9 days, 14 days, 21 days, and 28 days after administration. The blood was rapidly heparified. The plasma was treated with ionization and ice cooling, separated by centrifugation, and the compound concentration was quantified by LC-MS. Figures 4 and 5 show the plasma drug concentration profiles after subcutaneous administration of the pharmaceutical compositions F and G to male rats, respectively. In Example F, relatively high plasma brexpiprazole concentrations were maintained in the early post-administration period, and even 14 days after administration, relatively high concentrations of brexpiprazole were detected in the plasma, indicating that plasma brexpiprazole concentrations were maintained for more than 14 days. Compared to the aqueous suspension in Example D, the plasma drug concentration was suppressed even further, confirming the sustained-release effect of the liquid crystal / lipid gel formulation.
[0187] In Example G, relatively high plasma brexpiprazole concentrations were maintained in the early post-administration period, and even 21 days after administration, relatively high concentrations of brexpiprazole were detected in the plasma, indicating that plasma brexpiprazole concentrations were maintained for more than 21 days. Compared to the aqueous suspension of zinc salt in Example E, plasma drug concentrations were suppressed even further, confirming the sustained-release effect of the liquid crystal / lipid gel formulation. From these results, it was considered that the release of the Example 1 compound from the formulation can be controlled by an appropriate combination of a sustained-release base and a metal salt, and that the Example 1 compound is converted to brexpiprazole in vivo, making it possible to maintain blood exposure to brexpiprazole at a level that exerts a therapeutic effect for 14 to 21 days or more. Example 1: A pharmaceutical composition that forms a liquid crystal / lipid gel of the compound or its salt is compared in the early post-administration period. Because it maintains a high blood brexpiprazole concentration, it eliminates the need for concomitant use of oral medications or shortening of injection intervals to compensate for the initial blood drug concentration of the sustained-release injectable formulation. Therefore, it is expected to be a useful pharmaceutical composition for preventing relapses in conditions such as schizophrenia.
[0188] Example 1: Preparation of a pharmaceutical composition of the compound - 5 (Examples H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O) (300-400 mg / g) Example 1 Compound Microwave (Rossfair) For each composition shown in the table below, the compound from Example 1 and the biodegradable polymer poly(lactide-co-glyco Resomer RG505, Resomer RG504, Resomer RG503, Resomer RG502, Resomer RG752H, or Lactel 85:15 Poly (DL-lactide-co-glycolide), Ester Terminated (PLGE) Inherent Viscosity Range (IV): 0.76-0.85 dL / g (all Resomer and Lactel are Evonik) are mixed with dichloromethane (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries) and vinegar. The oil phase was prepared by dissolving with acid (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries). Polyvinyl alcohol 40-88 ( A 0.5% solution of Merck was dissolved in purified water to prepare the aqueous phase (continuous phase). Using a TK Robomix (Primix) equipped with a homomixer, the aqueous phase was rotated at a speed of 2000-3000 rpm. The oil phase was added dropwise while homogenizing. Then the aqueous phase was stirred with a stirrer at 200-500 rpm. Microspheres were prepared by drying in liquid for 5 hours while stirring, and the microspheres after drying in liquid were prepared. Rothspheres were observed using a polarizing microscope. If necessary, additional washing methods were performed after drying in liquid, including the addition of alkalis such as 99.5% ethanol or 1N sodium hydroxide solution. After drying in liquid, the microspheres were filtered by aspiration using a filter with a 20 μm nylon mesh filter, and the aqueous phase was removed. Approximately 1 / 5 the volume of purified water used for the aqueous phase was flowed over the microspheres filtered on the filter to thoroughly wash away the PVA, and the microspheres were recovered. The recovered microspheres were placed in a Falcon tube and stored in a freezer at -20°C or below. The material was brought into storage and frozen, then freeze-dried using a Lyostar-3 (SP Scientific) freeze-dryer to recover the powder microspheres. The molar ratio of lactic acid and glycolic acid, characteristics, weight-average molecular weight, and Inherent Viscosity Range (dL / g) of each PLGA used are as follows. Resomer RG505 lactide:glycolide 50:50, ester terminated, Mw 54,000-69,000, Resomer RG504 lactide:glycolide 50:50, ester terminated, Mw 38,000-54,000, 0.45-0.60 Resomer RG503 lactide:glycolide 50:50, ester terminated, Mw 24,000-38,000, 0.32-0.44 Resomer RG502 lactide:glycolide 50:50, ester terminated, Mw 7,000-17,000, 0.16-0.24 Resomer RG752H lactide:glycolide 75:25, acid terminated, Mw 4,000-15,000, 0.14-0.22 Lactel 85:15 PLGE IV 0.76-0.85 lactide:glycolide 85:15, ester terminated, unknown, 0.76-0.85 [Table 10]
[0189] Evaluation of pharmaceutical compositions of Example H to O Polarized light microscopy observation The microspheres of Examples I, J, and K after drying in liquid were observed using a polarizing microscope. The results are shown in Figure 6. These are shown in 7 and 8. In all cases, the formation of microspheres was confirmed.
[0190] Measurement of average particle diameter The obtained microspheres were suspended in a 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose sodium solution and analyzed by laser diffraction and scattering using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer SALD-3100 (Shimadzu Corporation). The particle size was measured. Purified water was used as the solvent during measurement, and either a batch cell or a circulating cell was used. In the case of a batch cell, the stirring speed was set to maximum, and in the case of a circulating cell, the circulation speed was set to 5.

[0191] Plasma drug concentration profile For administration to animals, the microsphere powders of Examples H, J, K, and L were diluted to 300 mg / mL. Medium-chain triglyceride (MCT, obtained from CRODA, used as a solvent) was added to prepare the MCT suspensions of Examples H, J, K, and L. These suspensions were administered subcutaneously to male rats. The drugs were administered, and the plasma concentrations of Example Compound 1 and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from SLC Japan Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in experiments after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: No restrictions, Number of individuals per cage: 2-3, Temperature: 23±2℃, Humidity: 60±10%, Lighting time: 7:00-19:00. Rats under isoflurane anesthesia were administered subcutaneously to the back using a glass syringe. The dosage for each formulation was adjusted to 25 mg / kg in terms of brexpiprazole equivalent. 0.5 mL of blood was collected from the jugular vein at time points after administration. The timing of blood collection was as follows: for Example H, 2 hours, 1, 3, 6, 9, 14, 21, and 28 days after administration; and for Examples J, K, and L, 2 hours, 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, and 56 days after administration. Blood was collected immediately after collection. The sample was quickly heparinized and cooled with ice. Plasma was separated by centrifugation, and the concentrations of the example compound and brexpiprazole were measured by LC-MS. Figures 9, 10, 11, and 12 show the plasma drug concentration profiles after subcutaneous administration of the pharmaceutical compositions of Examples H, J, K, and L to male rats. In all cases, in addition to an increase in blood concentration immediately after administration, sustained blood brexpiprazole concentrations for more than one month were confirmed. From these results, it was considered that by preparing microspheres containing the compound of Example 1 using an appropriate biodegradable polymer, the release of the compound of Example 1 from the formulation can be controlled, and the conversion of the compound of Example 1 to brexpiprazole in vivo makes it possible to maintain blood exposure to brexpiprazole at a level that exerts a therapeutic effect for more than one month. Example 1: The pharmaceutical composition of microspheres of the compound showed relatively high blood bleed levels in the early post-administration period. Because it maintains spiprazole concentration, it eliminates the need for concomitant use of oral medications or shortening of injection intervals to compensate for the initial blood drug concentration of the sustained-release injectable formulation. Therefore, it is expected to be a useful pharmaceutical composition for preventing relapses in conditions such as schizophrenia.

[0200] Plasma drug concentration profile Aqueous suspensions of the example PVs were administered subcutaneously to male rats, and the plasma concentrations of each example compound and brexpiprazole were measured. Male rats were purchased from SLC Japan Co., Ltd. at 7 weeks of age and used in experiments after preliminary rearing. The rearing environment was as follows: Feeding and water intake: No restrictions, Number of individuals per cage: 3. Temperature: 23±2℃, Humidity: 60±10%, Lighting time: 7:00-19:00. Rats under isoflurane anesthesia were administered subcutaneously to the back using either a plastic or glass syringe.
