Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly to a methyl ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-benzoate injection preparation.
Background Art
[0002] Alzheimer's disease (abbreviated as AD) is one of the diseases commonly seen in the elderly, and is a chronic neurodegenerative disease characterized by main clinical features such as memory decline and cognitive dysfunction. As the aging of the population accelerates, the incidence of this disease continues to increase. Among people over 80 years old, about 20% suffer from Alzheimer's disease. According to the degree of clinical deterioration of cognitive function and physical function, it can be divided into three stages: the first stage (1 - 3 years, mild dementia), the second stage (2 - 10 years, moderate dementia), and the third stage (8 - 12 years, severe dementia). Patients with severe dementia are completely dependent on others, have severe memory loss, are unable to take care of themselves in daily life, have defecation and urination disorders, are silent, have limb rigidity, show positive pyramidal tract signs during physical examination, have primitive reflexes such as grasping, groping, and sucking, and ultimately may fall into a coma and cause infections and other problems leading to death. Due to problems with memory, judgment, and thinking ability, patients have a reduced ability to take care of themselves in life and suffer great mental pain. In addition, due to the long disease duration of this disease, the burden on society and families is significantly increased.
[0003] Memantine is an excitatory amino acid receptor antagonist used in the treatment of moderate to severe Alzheimer's type dementia. Currently, memantine hydrochloride tablets, memantine hydrochloride solutions, and memantine hydrochloride sustained-release capsules for oral administration are sold at home and abroad. These dosage forms have a short maintenance time of drug blood concentration, require frequent administration, increase patient non-compliance and side effects, and due to the influence of patients' cognitive impairment and other symptoms, the ability to actively take medication is reduced, often leading to treatment failure.
Summary of the Invention
[0004] Currently, sustained-release injectable formulations of memantine (chemical name: 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantylamine, whose structure is represented by formula C below) and its salts or esters are not commercially available, and prior art lacks research on non-enteral administration formulations of memantine and its salts. ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate, whose structure is represented by formula A below, is a prodrug obtained by esterification modification of memantine. Compared to memantine hydrochloride (chemical name: 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantylamine hydrochloride, whose structure is represented by formula B below), this compound has significantly lower solubility and is almost insoluble in water. The gradual dissolution of the drug into tissue sites slows down the rate at which the drug enters the bloodstream, achieving a sustained-release effect in the body and achieving the goal of sustained treatment. [ka] [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] A first aspect of the present invention provides a ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate injection formulation. In the formulation according to the present invention, ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate is highly concentrated, has a controllable particle size, and can achieve a high dose in a limited injection volume and a sustained drug release effect. The formulation may be stored in the form of a suspension in a pre-filled syringe or in the form of a lyophilized powder in a vial. The former can be used directly, and the latter can be mixed with sterile water for injection to prepare a suspension for use by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Compared to memantine oral tablets, the formulation according to the present invention has the following advantages: (1) APIs (active pharmaceutical ingredients) in suspension exist as insoluble particles, have low solubility, and exhibit a clear sustained-release effect after drug injection, significantly reducing the number of administrations, extending the duration of drug action, and improving patient compliance. (2) The above-mentioned preparation has a high drug load and can provide a dose for at least one week. (3) The API in the suspension has controllable particle size and high injectability, (4) The suspension, after freeze-drying, is highly stable and suitable for storage and transport. (5) The above formulations have stable drug release and can avoid fluctuations in clinical indicators due to missed doses.
[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate injection formulation described in the present invention. The preparation method according to the present invention is simple, easy to perform, highly stable and safe, and suitable for industrial production. In the above preparation method, a lyophilization step can be further added to prepare a lyophilized formulation of ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate.
[0007] A third aspect of the present invention provides the use of ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate injection formulation in the preparation of drugs for treating Alzheimer's disease. Definition of Terms

[0094] Preparation process: (1) Dissolve the polysorbate 80 and span 20 of each batch in purified water at a rate of approximately 60% of the total volume, and stir until completely dispersed. (2) Add the prescribed amounts of polyethylene glycol 4000, anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, and citric acid monohydrate, respectively, and stir until completely dissolved. (3) Under stirring conditions, gradually add the prescribed amount of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate to obtain a ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate suspension, adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5 with sodium hydroxide, and bring to a final volume. (4) After grinding the above suspension, the particle size distribution, zeta potential, and viscosity of the ground suspension were measured.
[0095] Table 1-2 shows the particle size of the samples from each batch, Table 1-3 shows the zeta potential and viscosity, Table 1-4 shows the particle size after being left for 15 days under accelerated conditions, and Table 1-5 shows the related substances after being left for 15 days under accelerated conditions.

[0097] Table 1-3: Zeta potential and viscosity of suspensions for each batch [Table 5]
[0098] According to the results in Tables 1-2 and 1-3, samples from each batch with different particle sizes of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate particles all formed suspensions that were highly fluid and injectable. Drug particles smaller than 1 μm may pose a risk of burst release, and suspension particles larger than 20 μm present problems related to needle passage during injection. Experimental results indicate that suspensions with good properties can be prepared when the particle size (D50) of the prepared suspension particles is in the range of 1 to 20 μm.

[0101] According to the results in Tables 1-4 and 1-5, after leaving samples from batches 01-04 under accelerated conditions for 15 days, there was no significant change in the particle size of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate particles and related substances in the suspension, indicating high stability.
[0102] Example 2: Investigation of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)methyl benzoate suspensions of different concentrations Table 2-1: Prescription Form [Table 8]
[0103] Preparation process: (1) Dissolve polysorbate 80 and span 20 in purified water at a rate of approximately 60% of the total volume, and stir until completely dispersed. (2) Add the prescribed amounts of polyethylene glycol 4000, anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, and citric acid monohydrate, and stir until completely dissolved.

(4) The above suspension was pulverized, and the particle size distribution, zeta potential, and viscosity of the pulverized suspension were measured.
[0104] The experimental results are shown in Tables 2-2 and 2-3.

[0106] Table 2-3: Zeta potential and viscosity of suspensions for each batch [Table 10]
[0107] The results show that batches 01-07 all yielded suspensions with good properties. Considering that the maximum daily dose of memantine oral tablets is 20 mg and the maximum volume for intramuscular injection is 4 mL, the theoretical minimum dose that can be maintained for more than two weeks via intramuscular injection is 280 mg. Since the injection volume of all currently available sustained-release intramuscular injection formulations is less than 4 mL, the suspension content needs to exceed 70 mg / mL to obtain the theoretical dose that can be maintained for more than two weeks, and therefore batch 01 was discarded.
[0108] Example 3: Investigation of suspensions with different stabilizers Table 3-1: Prescription Form [Table 11]
[0109] Preparation process: (1) Disperse polysorbate 80, poloxamer 407, and polyoxyl 15 hydroxystearate in purified water at a rate of approximately 60% of the total volume, and stir until completely dispersed. (2) Under stirring conditions, gradually add the prescribed amount of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate to obtain a ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate suspension, adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5, and bring to a final volume. (3) After grinding the above suspension, the particle size distribution, zeta potential, and viscosity of the ground suspension were measured.
[0110] The results are shown in Tables 3-2 and 3-3.

[0112] Table 3-3: Zeta potential and viscosity of suspensions from each batch after grinding. [Table 13]
[0113] The results show that using polysorbate 80, poloxamer 407, and polyoxyl 15-hydroxystearate as stabilizers allows for the preparation of suspensions with good properties.
[0114] Example 4: Investigation of suspensions with different stabilizers Table 4-1: Prescription Form [Table 14]
[0115] Preparation process: (1) Disperse polysorbate 80, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil RH40, polyoxyl castor oil EL35, and a mixture of polysorbate 80 and span 20 in purified water at a rate of approximately 60% of the total volume, and stir until completely dissolved. (2) Add the prescribed amounts of polyethylene glycol 4000, anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, and citric acid monohydrate, respectively, and stir until completely dissolved. (3) Under stirring conditions, gradually add the prescribed amount of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate to obtain a ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate suspension, adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5, and bring to a final volume. (4) After grinding the above suspension, the particle size distribution, zeta potential, and viscosity of the ground suspension were measured, and its stability was examined by leaving it to stand under accelerated conditions.
[0116] The results showed that the samples from batches 02 and 03 were discarded because, after grinding, they were highly viscous, contained a large amount of air bubbles, and could not form a fluid suspension, making them unsuitable for injection. The results for the remaining batches of samples are shown in Tables 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4.
[0117] Table 4-2: Particle size (unit: μm) of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate particles in the suspension of each batch after grinding. [Table 15]

[0119] Table 4-4: Examination of particle size of sample particles from batches 01 and 04 left for 15 days under accelerated conditions (unit: μm) [Table 17]
[0120] The results showed that using polysorbate 80 or a mixture of polysorbate 80 and span 20 as a stabilizer allowed for the preparation of suspensions with good properties, and the particle size remained virtually unchanged after being left for 15 days under accelerated conditions.
[0121] Example 5: Investigation of suspensions with different stabilizer dosages Table 5-1: Prescription Form [Table 18]
[0122] Preparation process: (1) Dissolve polysorbate 80 and Span 20 of different concentrations in purified water at approximately 60% of the total volume, and stir until completely dispersed. (2) Add the prescribed amount of polyethylene glycol 4000 and stir until completely dissolved. (3) Under stirring conditions, gradually add the prescribed amount of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate to obtain a ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate suspension, adjust the pH to 7.0-7.5 with sodium hydroxide, and bring to a final volume. (4) After grinding the above suspension, the particle size distribution of the ground suspension was measured.
[0123] During the experiment, the sample from batch 05 was discarded because, after grinding, the suspension was found to be paste-like and unable to form a fluid suspension, making it unsuitable for injection. The results for the other batches are shown in Table 5-2. Table 5-2: Particle size (unit: μm) of ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate particles in the suspension of each batch after grinding. [Table 19]
[0124] The results show that samples from batches 01 to 04 all form highly fluid and injectable suspensions. Considering safety issues when injecting into the human body, the dose of stabilizer should not be too high. If the dose of stabilizer is too high, it will have a solubilizing effect on ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate, which may lead to burst release when injected into the human body. Therefore, in this invention, the concentration range of the stabilizer is set to 5 mg / mL to 48 mg / mL.

[0186] According to the results, the particle sizes of the suspension before freeze-drying and the suspension redissolved after freeze-drying are very close.
[0187] Pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in rats using samples from batches 01 and 02: Methyl ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-�̀-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-benzoate aqueous suspension was administered by intramuscular injection at 75 mg / kg. Whole blood was collected before administration and at 0.25 h, 1 h, 2 h, 5 h, 7 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 140 h, and 170 h after administration. The whole blood was centrifuged at 12,000 revolutions per minute for 2 minutes to separate plasma, and the plasma was stored at -20 °C or -70 °C until LC / MS / MS analysis was performed.
[0188] The LC / MS / MS analysis parameters are as follows: Table 13-4: [Table 54]
[0189] The analysis was performed by injecting 20 μL of sample into a Waters Xbridge C18, 2.1 × 50 mm, 2.7 μM column. Analytical conditions: Mobile phases were 2 mM ammonium formate + 0.1% formic acid (A) and methanol + 2 mM ammonium formate + 0.1% formic acid (B). Flow rate was 0.4 mL / min.
[0190] The moving phase gradient is shown in Table 13-5. Table 13-5: [Table 55]
[0191] Tables 13-16 show the pharmacokinetic data of the formulation of Example 13 in rats. The compound of the present invention has excellent pharmacokinetic properties. Figure 1 shows the average drug-time curve in rats after intramuscular injection.
[0192] As shown in Figure 1, the ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)methyl benzoate suspensions can sustainably release the drug after administration and maintain it within a specific concentration range. The ((((1R,3R,5S,7R)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)methyl benzoate suspensions prepared in this invention have a clear sustained-release effect within one week or at least one week.

[0195] Preparation method: Polysorbate 80 and Span 20 were dissolved in approximately 60% of the total volume of sterile water for injection and stirred until completely dispersed. The prescribed amounts of polyethylene glycol 4000, anhydrous disodium hydrogen phosphate, and citric acid monohydrate were added and stirred until completely dissolved. Under stirring conditions, the prescribed amount of ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate was gradually added to obtain a ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate suspension, which was then brought to a final volume. The suspension was crushed and filled into 10 mL vials, the volume was reduced to 5.6 mL, and the vials were freeze-dried.
[0196] The obtained freeze-dried powder was redissolved in water and then its particle size was measured. The particle sizes were 1.516 μm for Dv10, 4.731 μm for Dv50, 11.953 μm for Dv90, 33.017 μm for Dv99, and 6.290 μm for Dv4 and Dv3, with a content of 115%.
[0197] The freeze-dried powder obtained in Example 14 was redissolved in 2.4 g of water, and then an in vitro dissolution experiment was performed. The dissolution method was the paddle method, the dissolution medium was a 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate solution, the rotation speed was 50 rpm, and the temperature was 30°C. The in vitro dissolution profile is shown in Figure 2.
[0198] The lyophilized formulation obtained in Example 14 was redissolved in 2.4 g of sterile water for injection to obtain a suspension of methyl ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate at a concentration of 200 mg / mL, and pharmacokinetic studies were conducted in rats and dogs using this suspension. Solutions of 2.0 mg / mL and 4.0 mg / mL prepared using memantine hydrochloride and sterile water for injection were administered orally to control groups. The dosage groups for rats and dogs are shown in Tables 14-2 and 14-3, respectively. Each rat group consisted of 4 males and 4 females, for a total of 8 rats, and each dog group consisted of 5 males and 5 females, for a total of 10 dogs.

[0201] Time of blood sample collection: Examples 14-01 / 14-02 / 14-06 / 14-07: Before administration and 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 24h after administration. Examples 14-03 / 14-04 / 14-05 / 14-08 / 14-09 / 14-10: Before administration and 1h, 4h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 96h, 120h, 144h, 192h, 264h, 312h after administration.
[0202] Blood sample detection method: 100 μL of Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (20×) was added to 1 mL of whole blood, and the mixture was inverted to ensure uniform mixing. The whole blood sample was placed in an ice bath before centrifugation and centrifuged at 1800 × g at 4°C for 10 minutes within 1 hour to separate the plasma under ice bath conditions. The concentration of the active compound 1-amino-3,5-dimethyladamantylamine in the blood sample at each time point was detected by LC-MS / MS. The analytical LC / MS / MS system included an LC-30 ultrafast liquid chromatograph and a Qtrap-5500 ion trap mass spectrometer, with a dryer temperature of 550°C, a dry gas flow rate of 9 L / min, a nebulizer pressure of 40 psi, and a capillary voltage of 3500 V. Quantitative analysis was performed in MRM mode. The parameters for MRM conversion are shown in Table 14-4. The analysis was carried out by injecting 1 μL of sample into a Waters Xbridge C18, 2.1 × 50 mm, 2.7 μM column. Analytical conditions: The mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid (A) and methanol (B). The flow rate was 0.45 mL / min. The mobile phase gradient is shown in Table 14-5.

[0205] The drug blood concentration-time curves in rats after administration are shown in Figure 3, and the pharmacokinetic data are shown in Table 14-6. The drug blood concentration-time curves in dogs after administration are shown in Figure 4, and the pharmacokinetic data are shown in Table 14-7.
[0206] Table 14-6: Pharmacokinetic data of memantine in rats after single administration. [Table 62]
[0207] Table 14-7: Pharmacokinetic data of memantine in dogs after single administration. [Table 63]
[0208] According to the pharmacokinetic data from rats and dogs, oral administration involves a much lower dose than intramuscular injection, but its Cmax is still much greater than that after intramuscular injection. In contrast, after oral administration, the drug blood concentration rapidly reaches its peak and then rapidly decreases. The present invention's ((((1r,3R,5S,7r)-3,5-dimethyladamantan-1-yl)carbamoyl)oxy)-methyl benzoate injection formulation can maintain the drug blood concentration at or above the trough concentration after oral administration for at least two weeks, demonstrating that the sustained-release intramuscular injection avoids the "peak-trough" phenomenon of drug blood concentration and allows for a reduction in administration frequency to once every two weeks.
