Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and specifically, to an antibiotic pharmaceutical composition suitable for intradermal or subcutaneous administration, a kit comprising said composition and a method for preparing the same, as well as the use of said composition and kit.

Background Art

[0002] Antibiotics are the most commonly used drugs for clinical anti-infection. As a result of years of development, there are thousands of types of antibiotics, and hundreds of types are commonly used clinically. The main classifications include β-lactam, aminoglycoside, macrolide, lincomycin, polypeptide, quinolone, sulfonamide, anti-tuberculosis drugs, antifungal drugs and other antibiotics.

[0003] The administration methods of antibiotics are various, and oral administration, intramuscular administration, and intravenous administration are common. However, the administration of antibiotics by these methods has limitations, drawbacks, and side effects.

[0004] Intravenous administration is a method of directly injecting a drug into the body by drip or bolus. This method is immediate and has high bioavailability, so it is a commonly used administration method clinically, but it is also recognized as one of the most dangerous administration methods. In addition to the risk of infection due to deep intervention, it is inevitable that insoluble particles will be mixed into the drug during manufacturing, transportation, storage, and dispensing, causing side effects such as vascular embolism, phlebitis, fever, and granuloma. Also, some antibiotics are unstable in the gastrointestinal tract and are easily destroyed by the gastrointestinal tract, and some can only be administered intravenously. Furthermore, the operation of intravenous drug administration is technically difficult and usually requires professional medical staff in medical facilities, which causes inconvenience to patients' treatment and consumes a large amount of medical resources. Intravenous drug administration requires intravenous puncture, which may be difficult for some people with poor vascular conditions, such as the elderly, infants, children, and severely burned patients.

[0005] Oral administration is the most common method of drug therapy, and its advantages include convenience, painlessness, ease of administration, low cost of drug delivery, safety compared to intravenous administration and other methods, and a low incidence of injection-related side effects. Currently, despite the advantages of oral antibiotics, their disadvantages are becoming apparent. In addition to potentially irritating the gastrointestinal tract and adversely affecting the digestive system, studies have shown that oral antibiotics may affect infant development. Oral administration of antibiotics has been shown to inhibit the colonization of gut microbiota, leading to risks such as an increased incidence of asthma and type 1 diabetes. Furthermore, in cancer patients, the use of oral antibiotics in parallel with or prior to immunotherapy has been shown to disrupt the gut microbiota and significantly reduce the effectiveness of immunotherapy (Routy, B et al. (2018). Science 359(6371): 91-97).

[0006] Intramuscular injection has several drawbacks, including the inability to administer volumes greater than 5 mL, the tendency to cause pain and discomfort to patients, a slow onset of action, and the possibility of nerve damage due to improper injection. For these reasons, it has rarely been used as a method of administering antibiotics.

[0007] Intradermal or subcutaneous administration refers to injecting medication into the skin or subcutaneous tissue so that the drug is rapidly absorbed. Subcutaneous administration is less expensive than intravenous administration, offers more site options, is easier to insert, causes less pain and discomfort than intravenous insertion, is easier to re-insert the needle at a different site, and allows for insertion into non-sensitive areas of the skin. Furthermore, because intradermal or subcutaneous administration can be performed in virtually any environment, it is more appropriate than intravenous fluid administration in situations where care is limited. However, if the volume of intradermal or subcutaneous fluid exceeds 2 mL, it can cause tissue deformation, increase interstitial pressure, cause pain and discomfort, and limit the volume and rate of subcutaneous fluid administration at a single site. Due to limitations in fluid volume and the potential for skin irritation from high concentrations of antibiotics, antibiotics are almost always administered intravenously or orally in clinical practice.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop antibiotics that are safe, fast-acting, and can be administered subcutaneously without causing discomfort to patients. [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition for intradermal or subcutaneous administration, wherein the antibiotic pharmaceutical composition comprises an antibiotic and hyaluronidase. The pharmaceutical composition has significant advantages over oral, intramuscular, or intravenous administration of antibiotics. For example, the blood drug concentration (Cmax) of the antibiotic in the composition is increased compared to administration of the antibiotic alone, the time to maximum blood concentration (Tmax) of the antibiotic in the composition is decreased compared to administration of the antibiotic alone, and / or subcutaneous administration of the composition results in a significantly smaller decrease in the number and diversity of the gut microbiota compared to pre-administration compared to oral administration of the antibiotic.

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0035] This invention provides an antibiotic that can be administered subcutaneously. The subcutaneous antibiotic of this invention has no dosage limitations when administered, has a rapid onset of action, high blood concentration, high patient comfort, and does not cause microbiological damage to the gastrointestinal tract.

[0036] 1.Definition Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0037] "In combination with..." means administering two or more therapeutic agents to the target patient as a mixture simultaneously or sequentially as individual agents in any order.

[0038] "Pharmaceutical composition" means a product obtained by mixing an antibiotic and hyaluronidase, including fixed and unfixed combinations. Pharmaceutical compositions typically contain pharmaceutically acceptable additives. "Fixed combination" means a single pharmaceutical composition containing an antibiotic and hyaluronidase that is administered simultaneously. "Unfixed combination" means the administration of separate pharmaceutical compositions or unit dosage forms of the antibiotic and hyaluronidase as separate entities simultaneously, in parallel, or sequentially, at non-specific time intervals, thereby providing effective levels of both compounds into the subject's body.

[0039] "Antibiotics" refers to a broad class of anti-infective drugs used clinically that inhibit and destroy pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. As a result of years of development, thousands of antibiotics exist, with hundreds commonly used clinically, including beta-lactams, aminoglycosides, macrolides, lincomycins, polypeptides, quinolones, sulfonamides, anti-tuberculosis drugs, antifungal drugs, and other antibiotics.

[0040] Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronic acid or hyaluronan, is a linear high-molecular-weight glycosaminoglycan composed of repeated links of two disaccharide units: D-glucuronic acid and N-acetylglucosamine. It is widely present in the connective tissue, mucous tissue, lens of the eye, and skin of vertebrates, and is particularly abundant in tissues such as embryos, cartilage, synovial fluid, vitreous humor, umbilical cord, and comb. Hyaluronic acid is one of the most widely distributed acidic mucopolysaccharides in the human tissue matrix, forming a network barrier between the collagen fibrous skeleton of the extracellular matrix and filling the body. This hyaluronic acid barrier is also one of the most important factors in preventing the rapid absorption of drugs injected subcutaneously.

[0041] Hyaluronidase refers to an endoglycosidase capable of breaking down hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzing the β-1,4 glycosidic bonds of the HA chain to produce low molecular weight glycosidases, which in turn produce low molecular weight HA or oligosaccharides. This increases tissue permeability and improves the permeability of fluids within the tissue. Hyaluronidase has been used in the medical field for many years as a "drug dispersant," promoting the diffusion of locally stored drugs, exudate, or blood, facilitating drug absorption, reducing local tissue tension and pain, and promoting the absorption and dissipation of edema and inflammatory exudate. Clinically, hyaluronidase can also be used as a drug penetration agent, an anesthetic adjuvant, and a postoperative edema reducer.

[0042] "Activity" means functional activity or the activity of a polypeptide or a part thereof in relation to a full-length (intact) protein. Functional activity includes, but is not limited to, biological activity, catalytic or enzymatic activity, antigenicity (ability to bind to or compete with an anti-polypeptide antibody), immunogenicity, ability to form polymers, and specific binding of polypeptides to receptors or ligands.

[0043] "Recombination" primarily refers to recombinant proteins. Recombinant proteins are produced by obtaining proteins using recombinant DNA or recombinant RNA technology. The acquisition routes are divided into in vitro and in vitro methods. In both methods, the prerequisite is to obtain a recombinant vector to which a gene fragment translatable to the target protein is attached using recombinant technology, and then introduce this vector into a host cell capable of expressing the target protein to express a specific recombinant protein molecule.

[0044] A "mutant" refers to a protein whose amino acid sequence has been altered through artificial modification, thereby changing its function or properties.

[0045] "Hyaluronidase activity" refers to the ability of hyaluronidase to cleave hyaluronic acid. In vitro measurement methods for determining the hyaluronidase activity of hyaluronidase (e.g., recombinant human hyaluronidase PH20) are known in the art and are described herein. An example measurement is a trace turbidity measurement, which indirectly determines the cleavage of hyaluronic acid by hyaluronidase by detecting the formation of an insoluble precipitate when uncleaved hyaluronic acid binds to serum albumin.

[0046] "Tmax" refers to the time it takes for the blood concentration of a drug to reach its peak after a single dose.

[0047] "Cmax" refers to the maximum blood concentration value on the blood concentration-time curve, i.e., the highest plasma drug concentration that can be reached after drug administration. Peak concentration is closely related to the clinical application of a drug. The peak concentration is the effective concentration required to exert the drug's effect, and exceeding the safety margin can lead to toxic reactions. Furthermore, peak concentration is an important indicator of the absorption and safety of the drug formulation.

[0048] "Intestinal microbiota" refers to the totality of all microorganisms that inhabit the digestive tract, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Of the 29 known bacterial phyla, the Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes phyla play important roles in the intestinal tract of healthy individuals, followed by the Proteobacteria and Actinomycetes phyla. Intestinal microbiota are mutually restrictive and dependent, forming a symbiotic ecological balance with the host, and playing crucial roles in maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosa, metabolism, immune regulation, and nutritional supply. The gut microbiota is closely related to human health, and research has shown that imbalances in the gut microbiota are associated with the development and onset of diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer, obesity, and asthma.

[0049] "Gut microbiota diversity" refers to the number of species present in the gut of an animal. "Gut microbiota population" refers to the number of microorganisms, such as various classes of bacteria, present in the gut of a sample. Techniques commonly used to study gut microbiota diversity and quantity include metagenomic sequencing, 16S rRNA sequencing, metatranscriptomics, chip technology, and fluorescence quantitative PCR. Metagenomic technology can detect the genomes of all microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and is one of the most comprehensive detection methods. 16S rRNA sequencing technology can detect bacteria at the genus level, assess gut microbiota diversity, provide a comprehensive indicator of the relative content of gut microbiota, and allow for prediction of gene metabolic networks using software. Metatranscriptomics technology can quantitatively detect all types of gut microbiota (bacteria, viruses, phages, archaea, fungi, yeasts, parasites) down to the "species" level and even the "strains" level. Chip technology allows for the qualitative detection of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

[0050] "Pharmacologically acceptable additives" refer to components of a pharmaceutical composition other than the active ingredient that are not toxic to the subject. Pharmaceutically acceptable additives include, but are not limited to, buffers, excipients, stabilizers, preservatives, pH adjusters, nonionic surfactants, and / or cosolvents.

[0051] Oral administration is the most commonly used mode of drug delivery for pharmacotherapy, offering advantages such as convenience, painlessness, ease of administration, low cost, and safety compared to, for example, intravenous administration, with fewer injection-related side effects. The disadvantage of oral drug delivery is that after oral administration, the drug is absorbed slowly and irregularly from the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in generally low drug utilization. Certain drugs are prone to causing gastrointestinal problems and should not be administered orally. In addition, oral administration of certain drugs can irritate the gastrointestinal tract or adversely affect the digestive system.

[0052] Subcutaneous administration refers to the method of injecting medication into the subcutaneous tissue for absorption. Subcutaneous drug administration offers many advantages in terms of cost-effectiveness and ease of use, including: 1. Lower cost. 2. A wider range of sites are available, the needle insertion is simpler, causing less pain and discomfort than intravenous injection, making it easier to change sites and re-insert the needle, and allowing for insertion into relatively insensitive areas of the skin. 3. In situations with limited care, subcutaneous fluid administration is more appropriate than intravenous fluid administration. From a safety perspective, the presence of a structurally fixed fibrous skeleton in the subcutaneous tissue restricts the flow of molecules larger than 200 nm in diameter through the subcutaneous tissue, avoiding the risk of large insoluble particles being introduced into the central circulation. Subcutaneous fluid administration offers the following safety advantages: 1. No risk of thrombus formation. 2. Less likely to cause pulmonary edema or fluid overload. 3. No risk of thrombophlebitis. 4. No risk of complications such as sepsis or systemic infection.

[0053] "Approximately" means within an acceptable margin of error for a particular value, as determined by those skilled in the art, and this margin of error depends in part on how the value is measured or determined, i.e., on the limits of the measuring system. In the context of a particular measurement, result, or embodiment, unless expressly stated in the example or elsewhere in this specification, "approximately" means within one standard deviation or up to 5%, whichever is greater, as practiced in the art.

[0057] The hyaluronidase described above has hyaluronic acid degrading activity under neutral conditions of pH 5.0 to pH 8.0.

[0058] Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, reducing the viscosity of hyaluronic acid (hyaluronan) in the extracellular matrix and thereby increasing tissue permeability. Hyaluronidase is selected from hyaluronidase extracted from animal testes, recombinant animal hyaluronidase or its variants, recombinant and / or extracted bacterial hyaluronidase, recombinant human hyaluronidase or its variants, preferably recombinant human hyaluronidase or its variants, more preferably recombinant human hyaluronidase or its variants, wherein the recombinant human hyaluronidase comprises the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 in the sequence listing, and most preferably the amino acid sequence of the recombinant human hyaluronidase is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2 in the sequence listing.

[0060] The enzymatic activity of hyaluronidase is defined in units / mL (U / mL) or total enzymatic activity (U) in a particular formulation, and is described in more detail below. The standard definition of one unit of enzymatic activity (U) is the amount of enzyme per unit time that catalyzes a limited amount of substrate reaction, e.g., 1 mole or 1 nanomolar substrate / min. Techniques for measuring the activity of hyaluronidase formulations are known in this field, and the activity of hyaluronidase formulations is usually expressed in units of U or units (hereinafter referred to as "units").

[0061] Hyaluronidase activity refers to the ability of an enzyme to break down hyaluronic acid. The method for measuring hyaluronidase provided in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia indirectly determines hyaluronidase activity by reacting the enzyme with hyaluronic acid at 37°C for 30 minutes and then measuring the amount of remaining high molecular weight hyaluronic acid substrate. During the measurement, the relative activity (in units) of any given hyaluronidase is determined using a reference standard solution. In vitro measurements for hyaluronidase are known in this field. As an exemplary measurement method, the trace turbidity measurement described below indirectly measures the cleavage of hyaluronic acid by hyaluronidase by detecting the insoluble precipitate formed when uncleaved hyaluronic acid binds to serum albumin. The reference standard can be used, for example, to create a standard curve and to determine the activity of the hyaluronidase being measured in units.

Clinical use is not limited by volume, is more convenient, improves the patient's treatment experience, and can reduce fluid-related side effects. Patient comfort is high, the effect is rapid, blood concentration is high, and it does not cause gastrointestinal microbial damage.

[0115] <Examples> Example 1: Preparation of recombinant human hyaluronidase CHO cells stably expressing recombinant human hyaluronidase protein were used in suspension culture in a proprietary serum-free medium, followed by controlled culture with fluid replacement in a proprietary serum-free replacement medium, and gradually expanded to a 30L reactor scale by shake flask culture.

[0116] At 3-4 days after the start of culture, the amount of supplement medium added to the bioreactor daily was 2%-5% of the actual culture volume in the bioreactor. The culture temperature was controlled to 35°C-37°C, pH was controlled to 7.0 by adding 10% Na2CO3 and CO2, reactor aeration was controlled to 0.015-0.15 vvm, rotation speed was controlled to 80-150 rpm, and dissolved oxygen level was controlled to 20%-40%. During cell culture, samples were taken daily, and temperature, pH, glucose concentration, lactate concentration, molar permeability, and protein expression levels were monitored. When the CHO cell viability fell below 80% or the culture cycle reached 14-20 days, the culture was terminated, and recombinant human hyaluronidase culture supernatant was obtained.

[0117] The obtained recombinant human hyaluronidase supernatant was subjected to sequential deep filtration, anion chromatography, affinity chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, cation chromatography, and ultrafiltration liquid exchange. Three batches were performed in this process, yielding recombinant human hyaluronidase stock solution with an SEC purity exceeding 95% and hyaluronidase with an RP purity exceeding 85%, with enzyme activity greater than 70,000 units / mg in both cases.

[0118] Example 2. Compatibility study of hyaluronidase and meropenem solution Solutions containing hyaluronidase and antibiotics were prepared, and the compatibility of the two substances was investigated.

After preparation, the solutions were left at room temperature for 15 minutes, and the appearance of the solutions was observed to measure the hyaluronidase concentration.

[0119] The study revealed that after preparing eight solutions, the solutions were clear and transparent, and no precipitate was observed. Hyaluronidase activity was measured in the solutions, and none of the meropenem solutions inhibited hyaluronidase activity. Further research is possible on the preparation of mixed hyaluronidase and meropenem solutions.

[0182] [Table 30] [Table 31] Example 20. Subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase and antibiotics. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase and antibiotics in mice, and how it differed from conventional intravenous administration. Ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, ertapenem, and teicoplanin were selected as model antibiotics. A total of 48 ICR male mice were selected for each antibiotic model, and divided into two groups of 24 mice each: one group administered via tail vein injection, and the other group administered subcutaneously with recombinant human hyaluronidase. A single dose of 100-200 mg / kg was administered, and the drugs were prepared and administered according to the prescription in each group. Blood samples were collected from each group at 5 min, 15 min, 30 min, 45 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, and 8 h after administration. The concentration of each model antibiotic in the samples was detected using LC-MS, and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated.

[0183] Table 32 shows the pharmacokinetic status of each model antibiotic when administered intravenously via tail vein injection into mice and subcutaneously with recombinant human hyaluronidase.

[0184] As a result, compared to intravenous injection, subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase yields a longer Tmax and lower Cmax, resulting in a longer duration of antibiotic action in the body, improved safety, and enhanced therapeutic efficacy. Compared to conventional subcutaneous administration, subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase has a higher drug absorption efficiency. This is the most common route of administration.

[0185] [Table 32] Example 21. Advantages of combined intradermal or subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase and antibiotics. Ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, ertapenem, and teicoplanin were selected as model antibiotics, and the effects of oral administration of these antibiotics and co-administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase subcutaneously on the intestinal microbiota of mice were investigated.

[0186] For each model antibiotic, 12 SPF-grade C57BL / 6 mice were selected and divided into two groups of 6 mice each: an oral administration group and a combined recombinant human hyaluronidase subcutaneous administration group. Additionally, 6 blank control mice were selected. The oral administration group received the model antibiotic solution orally for 5 consecutive days, while the combined recombinant human hyaluronidase subcutaneous administration group received the same amount of the model antibiotic subcutaneously for 5 consecutive days. After 5 consecutive days of administration, fecal samples were collected from each mouse group on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 14, frozen and stored at -80°C, and prepared for detection of microbial diversity. As shown in Table 33, DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and gene sequencing were performed on the fecal samples from each group using 16S rDNA amplification and sequencing methods. The changes in the diversity of intestinal bacteria in each mouse group were then analyzed, and the relative species diversity of the experimental groups was calculated using the daily OUT values ​​of the blank control group as a baseline.

[0187] As a result, the change in gut microbiota diversity in mice administered subcutaneously with recombinant human hyaluronidase was smaller than in mice administered orally, and the gut microbiota abnormality status in mice administered subcutaneously with recombinant human hyaluronidase was better than in mice administered orally. Subcutaneous administration of recombinant human hyaluronidase in combination with antibiotics can reduce the adverse effects on the gut microbiota during antibiotic treatment and protect the diversity of gut microbiota compared to conventional oral administration of antibiotics.
