Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This disclosure relates to a formulation containing tandospirone, which is useful as a pharmaceutical, and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, as an active ingredient, for the treatment or prevention of motor complications of Parkinson's disease, such as diurnal motor fluctuations, by parenteral administration (e.g., transdermal administration), or to a treatment thereof. [Background technology]
[0002] Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease characterized primarily by abnormalities in extrapyramidal function. Pathologically, it involves the loss of dopamine neurons and deposition of alpha-synuclein in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Clinically, it presents with various motor symptoms, including akinesia, resting tremor, rigidity, and loss of postural reflexes.
[0003] The basis of Parkinson's disease treatment is drug therapy aimed at replacing dopamine in the brain, and drugs containing levodopa (L-dopa, levodopa), a dopamine precursor, are used as the first-line treatment for early-stage Parkinson's disease. However, as the disease progresses, motor complications such as diurnal fluctuations in Parkinson's symptoms (motor fluctuations), levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "PD-LID" (Parkinson's disease levodopa-induced dyskinesia)), and dystonia appear in almost all patients receiving levodopa treatment.
[0004] As typical symptoms of diurnal fluctuation, wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, delayed on phenomenon and the like are known. Among these, wearing-off is, as described above, a symptom that occurs when the dopamine retaining capacity in the synaptic cleft decreases with the progression of the pathological condition, the intracerebral dopamine concentration fluctuates according to the blood concentration of levodopa, and as a result, the duration of effect of levodopa whose blood concentration falls below the safe therapeutic range is shortened.
[0005] PD-LID has an onset frequency of 30 to 50% 5 years after the start of levodopa treatment, increases with the progression of the pathological condition, and reaches 50 to 100% 10 years after the start of treatment. Peak-dose dyskinesia is known as a typical symptom of PD-LID, which is an involuntary movement that appears in the face, tongue, neck, limbs, trunk and the like when the blood concentration of levodopa is high.
[0006] Patent Document 1 discloses a transdermal absorption preparation of tandospirone. [Background Art] [Patent Documents]
[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 11-228414 [Summary of the Invention] [Means for Solving the Problem]
[0008] As a result of diligent research, the inventors have discovered that tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof possesses both the effect of suppressing the rapid increase in dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft of the striatum and the effect of delaying the decrease over time in various situations, such as when levodopa is administered to patients with Parkinson's disease. They have found that this provides a desirable technique for the treatment, improvement, progression inhibition (delay or suppression), and prevention of motor complications such as those seen in levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, they have found that parenteral administration of tandospirone (e.g., transdermal, intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular administration, etc.) provides a useful technique for the treatment, improvement, progression inhibition, and prevention of motor complications such as those seen in Parkinson's disease, with a higher improvement effect compared to oral administration. These motor complications that can be improved include motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). While this disclosure primarily focuses on explanations related to levodopa treatment, it is understood that this disclosure also applies to other causes. In the treatment of Parkinson's disease and other conditions, controlling non-motor symptoms is also important. Compared to other therapeutic agents for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (e.g., amantadine extended-release formulations), the composition of this disclosure has the advantage of not adversely affecting non-motor symptoms when treating motor complications such as dyskinesia. In some patients, improvement in non-motor symptoms can be expected in addition to improvement in motor complications such as dyskinesia and diurnal variation. The non-motor symptoms mentioned above include psychiatric symptoms, sleep disorders, sensory disturbances, pain, olfactory disorders, and autonomic nervous system symptoms. Psychiatric symptoms include depression, anxiety, apathy, agitation, irritability, hallucinations, delusions, and cognitive impairment. Sleep disorders include daytime hypersomnia, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, and REM sleep behavior disorder. Autonomic nervous system symptoms include constipation, urinary dysfunction, and orthostatic hypotension. The composition disclosed herein is expected to not worsen depression, anxiety, irritability, restless legs syndrome, REM sleep behavior disorder, or hallucinations, in particular, compared to other therapeutic agents for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (e.g., amantadine extended-release formulations, etc.), and is expected to have an effect in improving depression, anxiety, irritability, restless legs syndrome, or REM sleep behavior disorder.

[0011] In specific embodiments, the present disclosure can be provided as a transdermal patch (also known as a tape). When the tape of the present disclosure is applied, it is possible to more favorably treat, improve or prevent motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and / or motor complications such as dyskinesia, including levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), that accompany drug treatment for Parkinson's disease (e.g., levodopa treatment), or to treat, improve or prevent motor fluctuations without worsening dyskinesia symptoms. Thus, when the tape of the present disclosure is applied, it is possible to more favorably treat, improve or prevent motor complications in Parkinson's disease, and to treat, improve or prevent motor fluctuations without worsening dyskinesia symptoms.
[0012] Furthermore, by applying the transdermal patch of this disclosure, motor complications associated with drug treatment for Parkinson's disease (e.g., levodopa treatment) can be more favorably treated, improved, or prevented. In clinical practice, this allows for an increase in the single dose and / or daily dose of drugs such as levodopa compared to before treatment with the transdermal patch of this disclosure, without worsening dyskinesia symptoms. In current treatment, Parkinson's disease patients exhibiting dyskinesia are being treated with low-dose, frequent doses of levodopa (Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines 2018 Version (Part III Q&A on Parkinson's Disease Treatment, Chapter 3 Treatment of Motor Symptoms)), but this disclosure may also apply in other cases.
[0013] By administering the parenteral formulation of tandospirone provided in this disclosure, the occurrence of motor complications such as motor fluctuations including wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), can be suppressed, and the levodopa-containing formulation can be adjusted to the optimal dose. In other words, for Parkinson's disease patients who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing motor complications such as dyskinesia, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) like wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), increasing the single dose of levodopa to reduce the number of administrations or increasing the daily dose of levodopa does not improve these motor complications. This allows for better treatment of Parkinson's disease symptoms without worsening complications.
[0014] The tandospirone or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs and therapies disclosed herein enable the treatment, improvement, or prevention of levodopa-induced motor complications associated with the usual daily dose of levodopa therapy as described in the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines published by the Japanese Society of Neurology or corresponding guidelines in the United States and Europe. These complications include motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), and other motor complications seen in Parkinson's disease.
[0015] While existing drugs that improve diurnal variation, such as entacapone, are known to carry a risk of causing dyskinesia (dyskinesia, a dopaminergic side effect), the composition disclosed herein has been found for the first time to extend the on-time (the duration of anti-Parkinson's disease effect associated with drug therapy such as levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease) without dyskinesia.
[0016] The inventors of the present invention have discovered for the first time that when tandospirone is orally administered with the expectation of improving motor complications such as dyskinesia, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), the motor complications such as dyskinesia, including drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), temporarily worsen. In other words, oral administration of tandospirone is associated with "rebound symptoms" of dyskinesia, and it has been found that it is undesirable as a treatment for motor complications such as dyskinesia seen in Parkinson's disease, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). In this disclosure, "rebound symptoms" refers to the symptoms described in
[0052] . Furthermore, because oral administration of tandospirone causes "rebound symptoms," it is also undesirable to increase the dosage of levodopa-containing preparations. In this disclosure, "without worsening dyskinesia" refers to the state described in
[0041] . This disclosure suggests that diurnal motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena can be improved without exacerbating dyskinesia.
[0017] The present inventors have found that the parenteral tandospirone composition of this disclosure can improve motor complications such as dyskinesia, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), without causing a "rebound symptom" of dyskinesia. Furthermore, motor complications such as motor fluctuations (including wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena) and drug-induced dyskinesia (including levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID)) seen in Parkinson's disease can be measured as the "AIMs score" (AIMs being an abbreviation for "abnormal involuntary movements") using the method described in
[0140] .
[0018] The inventors have found that the compositions of this disclosure can be expected to have therapeutic, ameliorative, or preventive effects against both diurnal variation and drug-induced dyskinesia, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), as seen in Parkinson's disease. This means that they are excellent as therapeutic agents for motor complications. There are no approved drugs that are effective against both diurnal variation and drug-induced dyskinesia, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), as seen in Parkinson's disease.
[0019] Therefore, this disclosure may be implemented, in some examples, in the following specific embodiments. (1) (A) Parenteral administration step of tandospirone, (B) The step of administering levodopa at a dose higher than the conventional dose. A method for treating, improving or preventing Parkinson's disease, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), as seen in Parkinson's disease, or a method for treating, improving or preventing Parkinson's disease in which diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), as seen in Parkinson's disease, have been improved.

This describes methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in patients who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing these conditions. Methods for treating, improving, or preventing complications, or methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in which diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, delayed-on phenomenon, etc., and motor complications (motor complications) such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) have been improved. (4) (A) A step of adding parenteral administration of tandospirone to conventional levodopa treatment, (B) The levodopa dose is increased within a range that does not worsen motor complications such as motor fluctuations (wearing-off, on-off, no-on, delayed-on) and drug-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), including dyskinesia, as seen in Parkinson's disease, and parenteral administration of tandospirone is also included in the step of increasing the dose within a range that does not worsen motor complications such as motor fluctuations (wearing-off, on-off, no-on, delayed-on) and drug-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), as seen in Parkinson's disease, Methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in patients who have or are at risk of developing complications; methods for treating, improving, or preventing motor complications such as dyskinesia seen in Parkinson's disease, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, and delayed-on phenomenon, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID); or methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in which motor complications such as dyskinesia seen in Parkinson's disease, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, and delayed-on phenomenon, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), have been improved. (5) (A) The step of maintaining the plasma concentration of tandospirone at 0.05 to 20 ng / mL, (B) The step of administering levodopa and A method for treating, improving or preventing Parkinson's disease, a method for improving dyskinesia, or a method for treating, improving or preventing Parkinson's disease in which motor complications such as dyskinesia, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), are improved. (6) (A) The step of maintaining the plasma concentration of tandospirone at 0.05 to 20 ng / mL, (B) The step of administering levodopa and This includes motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as motor complications such as dyskinesia seen in Parkinson's disease, including drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). This describes methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in patients who are experiencing or at risk of experiencing these conditions. Methods for treating, improving, or preventing complications, or methods for treating, improving, or preventing Parkinson's disease in which motor complications such as dyskinesia, including diurnal fluctuations (motor fluctuations) such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), have been improved.
[0020] The basis for the effectiveness of this disclosure in treating exercise-related complications such as diurnal variation is as follows, although we do not intend to be bound by theory. · Since levodopa has a short half-life and does not provide sustained effects, it is usually administered multiple times per day. In contrast, when tandospirone of the present disclosure is administered as a patch, i.e., when one patch is applied per day, the blood concentration of tandospirone is maintained for 24 hours. Therefore, in the case of a transdermally absorbable preparation, regardless of the timing of levodopa administration, levodopa is taken while tandospirone exposure is maintained. On the other hand, for example, when Sedil tablets and levodopa are administered (orally) three times a day at the same timing, levodopa is taken when the tandospirone concentration has decreased. In other words, it can be said that this feature distinguishes the preparation from oral formulations. Furthermore, it is considered preferable to maintain a constant blood concentration of tandospirone during levodopa administration.
[0021] In another aspect, the present disclosure provides a composition for treating, improving or preventing motor fluctuations associated with levodopa therapy for Parkinson's disease, which comprises tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, wherein the composition is administered parenterally.
[0022] In a detailed embodiment, the present disclosure can be used for various uses (indications / therapeutic effects), for example, for improving motor complications such as dyskinesia as seen in Parkinson's disease, including motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, delayed on phenomenon, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID); indications and therapeutic effects including the treatment (with or without combination with a medicament that increases the effect of dopamine in the brain) of motor complications such as dyskinesia as seen in Parkinson's disease, including motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off phenomenon, no-on phenomenon, delayed on phenomenon, and drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) in Parkinson's disease patients treated with levodopa, notes on use, and labels (package inserts) may be attached.
[0023] In the present disclosure, it is intended that the one or more features described above may be provided in further combinations in addition to the explicitly stated combinations. Those skilled in the art will recognize further embodiments and advantages of the present disclosure upon reading and understanding the following detailed description as necessary.
[0024] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, motor complications such as diurnal variation and dyskinesia mean symptoms associated with drug treatment for Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa treatment, or equivalent circumstances. Symptoms originating from other diseases and associated with treatments other than levodopa or equivalent circumstances for Parkinson's disease are not included. Here, "symptoms originating from other diseases and associated with treatments other than levodopa or equivalent circumstances for Parkinson's disease" means symptoms originating solely from conditions other than Parkinson's disease. Therefore, if diurnal variation, dyskinesia, or other motor complications include those originating from Parkinson's disease (coexisting), they are understood to be included within the scope of this disclosure. Furthermore, it is understood that diurnal variation, dyskinesia, and other motor complications do not need to be proven to have a causal relationship with drugs such as levodopa, and are included as long as they occur when taking antiparkinson's disease drugs such as levodopa or during a period when their effects are thought to persist (for example, methods for treating dyskinesia occurring in patients receiving levodopa treatment are included). It also includes motor complications associated with Parkinson's disease-like neurodegenerative diseases resulting from striatal dopamine deficiency. Examples include multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration, and Lewy body dementia. [Effects of the Invention]
[0025] The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are expected to be effective in treating, improving, or preventing drug-induced motor complications of Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). These complications include diurnal fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as dyskinesia and other motor complications seen in Parkinson's disease, including drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). The disclosure is also expected to be effective in treating, improving, or preventing diurnal fluctuations without worsening dyskinesia symptoms. This disclosure is also expected to shorten the wearing-off time without dyskinesia symptoms and / or lengthen the on time without dyskinesia symptoms. This disclosure is also expected to be a treatment, improvement, or preventive agent for motor complications such as dyskinesia seen in Parkinson's disease, including drug-induced dyskinesia such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), without worsening diurnal variation. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0026] [Figure 1] Figure 1 shows the results of measuring ON time (the duration of the anti-Parkinson's disease effect associated with levodopa treatment in Parkinson's disease model rats (6-OHDA-lesioned rats) by measuring rotational behavior (total rotations in 5 minutes) for 180 minutes after levodopa administration, following oral administration of tandospirone. ON time was defined as the time at which the rotational speed reached 20% or more of the peak value of the total rotations in 5 minutes after levodopa administration. Oral administration of tandospirone citrate (30 mg / kg, 100 mg / kg) resulted in an extension of the ON time from 120 to 180 minutes after levodopa administration compared to the solvent administration group (Figure 1A), and a significant extension of the total ON time over 180 minutes was observed (Figure 1B). [Figure 2] Figure 2 shows the results of measuring ON time in Parkinson's disease model rats (6-OHDA-lesioned rats) after transdermal administration of tandospirone by measuring rotational behavior (total rotations in 5 minutes) for 180 minutes after levodopa administration. ON time was defined as the time at which the rotational rate was 20% or more of the peak value of the total rotations in 5 minutes after levodopa administration. Compared to the solvent administration group, application of tandospirone patch (60 cm2 / kg (containing 6.5% W / V tandospirone-free)) resulted in an extension of ON time from 120 to 180 minutes after levodopa administration (Figure 2A), and a significant extension of the total ON time over 180 minutes was observed (Figure 2B). [Figure 3-1]Figure 3 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa via oral tandospirone, with measurements taken every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Behavioral observation was performed in a transparent acrylic cage for 1 minute every 20 minutes, starting 20 minutes after intraperitoneal administration of levodopa, and continued until 3 hours after administration. Behavioral observations were classified into Limb AIMs (involuntary bending and straightening of the forelimb opposite the injury, opening and closing of the palm, up and down movement of the wrist, chorea-like tremors, dystonia-like rigidity), Axial AIMs (twisting the upper body and neck to the opposite side of the injury, losing balance and falling, or maintaining that unstable posture), Orolingual AIMs (jaw jerking or violently thrusting the tongue forward), and Locomotive behavior (rotational behavior toward the opposite side of the injury), and were scored from 0 to 4 (0: none, 1: occurring for less than 30 seconds, 2: occurring for 30 seconds or more, 3: constant but stopped by stimuli such as sound, 4: constantly occurring and not stopped by stimuli such as sound). The sum of the scores for Limb AIMs, Axial AIMs, and Orolingual AIMs over 3 hours was used as the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score. PD-LID model rats were orally administered tandospirone citrate (at citrate concentrations of 30 and 100 mg / kg), followed by levodopa administration 5 minutes later. Dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 3A) and spinning behavior (Figure 3B) were scored, and the results are shown as mean ± standard error. Oral administration of tandospirone citrate (100 mg / kg) resulted in an increase in the total ON score (Figure 3C) and a significant extension of 180 minutes of dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) (Figure 3D). [Figure 3-2]Figure 3 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa via oral tandospirone, with measurements taken every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Behavioral observation was performed in a transparent acrylic cage for 1 minute every 20 minutes, starting 20 minutes after intraperitoneal administration of levodopa, and continued until 3 hours after administration. Behavioral observations were classified into Limb AIMs (involuntary bending and straightening of the forelimb opposite the injury, opening and closing of the palm, up and down movement of the wrist, chorea-like tremors, dystonia-like rigidity), Axial AIMs (twisting the upper body and neck to the opposite side of the injury, losing balance and falling, or maintaining that unstable posture), Orolingual AIMs (jaw jerking or violently thrusting the tongue forward), and Locomotive behavior (rotational behavior toward the opposite side of the injury), and were scored from 0 to 4 (0: none, 1: occurring for less than 30 seconds, 2: occurring for 30 seconds or more, 3: constant but stopped by stimuli such as sound, 4: constantly occurring and not stopped by stimuli such as sound). The sum of the scores for Limb AIMs, Axial AIMs, and Orolingual AIMs over 3 hours was used as the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score. PD-LID model rats were orally administered tandospirone citrate (at citrate concentrations of 30 and 100 mg / kg), followed by levodopa administration 5 minutes later. Dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 3A) and spinning behavior (Figure 3B) were scored, and the results are shown as mean ± standard error. Oral administration of tandospirone citrate (100 mg / kg) resulted in an increase in the total ON score (Figure 3C) and a significant extension of 180 minutes of dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) (Figure 3D). [Figure 4-1]Figure 4 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa after transdermal administration of tandospirone (without stripping), with measurements taken every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Specifically, PD-LID model rats were administered tandospirone transdermally, followed by levodopa administration 4 hours later, and dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 4A) and rotational behavior (Figure 4B) were evaluated. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. Application of the tandospirone transderm was associated with an increase in the total ON score (Figure 4C) and a significant extension of the 180-minute dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) (Figure 4D). [Figure 4-2] Figure 4 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa after transdermal administration of tandospirone (without stripping), with measurements taken every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Specifically, PD-LID model rats were administered tandospirone transdermally, followed by levodopa administration 4 hours later, and dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 4A) and rotational behavior (Figure 4B) were evaluated. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. Application of the tandospirone transderm was associated with an increase in the total ON score (Figure 4C) and a significant extension of the 180-minute dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) (Figure 4D). [Figure 5-1]Figure 5 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa after transdermal administration of tandospirone (with stripping), measured every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Specifically, PD-LID model rats that underwent keratin stripping at the application site of the tape were administered tandospirone tape transdermally, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 5A) and rotational behavior (Figure 5B). The results are shown as mean ± standard error. Application of tandospirone tape after keratin stripping resulted in an increase in the total ON score (Figure 5C) and a significant extension of dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) over 180 minutes (Figure 5D). [Figure 5-2] Figure 5 shows the results of measuring dyskinesia-like symptoms and rotational behavior (ON score) in PD-LID model rats administered levodopa after transdermal administration of tandospirone (with stripping), measured every 20 minutes for 180 minutes. Specifically, PD-LID model rats that underwent keratin stripping at the application site of the tape were administered tandospirone tape transdermally, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms (Figure 5A) and rotational behavior (Figure 5B). The results are shown as mean ± standard error. Application of tandospirone tape after keratin stripping resulted in an increase in the total ON score (Figure 5C) and a significant extension of dyskinesia-free ON time (Locomotive behavior ≥ 1, AIMs score = 0) over 180 minutes (Figure 5D). [Figure 6-1] Figure 6A shows the results of measuring the time-dependent changes in dopamine in the striatum using microdialysis after intraperitoneal administration of levodopa to PD-LID model rats. [Figure 6-2] Figure 6B shows the results of calculating the time at which a change in dopamine release of 0.2 pg or more was observed. Compared to the placebo group, application of the tandospirone patch showed an extension of the striatal dopamine release time. Figure 6C shows the results of total dopamine release after levodopa administration. No difference was observed in total dopamine release. [Figure 7] Figure 7 shows the evaluation of the plasma concentration profile when the tandospirone patch of Example 4 was applied to normal rats. Specifically, the changes in plasma tandospirone concentration obtained by applying the tandospirone patch to normal rats (9 cm²: 31 ± 2 cm² / kg) are shown as mean ± standard deviation. The x-axis represents time from application, and the y-axis represents the tandospirone plasma concentration. [Figure 8] Figure 8 shows the results for administration condition 1 in Example 5. When tandospirone was administered transdermally (condition 1) by applying a tandospirone patch (formulation 2: drug dose 37 mg / kg) and absorbed transdermally, the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score was 12.6. Compared to when a placebo patch without tandospirone was applied, the total AIMs score decreased by 17.7, indicating a significant improvement in dyskinesia-like symptoms. In detail, PD-LID model rats were administered tandospirone patch transdermally, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. ** indicates p<0.01, meaning there is a significant difference compared to the placebo patch group (Wilcoxon rank-sum test). In the figure, Graph A shows the total AIMs score over 180 minutes. Graph B shows the total AIMs score from 100 to 180 minutes. [Figure 9] Figure 9 shows the results for administration condition 2 in Example 5. Under keratin stripping conditions, when tandospirone tape (formulation 3: drug dose 45 mg / kg) was applied and high exposure to tandospirone was absorbed transdermally, the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score was 5.8. In detail, PD-LID model rats that underwent keratin stripping treatment at the tape application site were administered tandospirone tape transdermally, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. ** indicates p<0.01, meaning there is a significant difference compared to the placebo tape application group (Wilcoxon rank-sum test). Figure 9-A shows the total AIMs score over 180 minutes. Figure 9-B shows the total AIMs score from 100 to 180 minutes. [Figure 10-1]Figure 10 shows the evaluation of the improvement of dyskinesia-like symptoms with continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone in Example 6. Specifically, PD-LID model rats were continuously subcutaneously administered tandospirone, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. * indicates p<0.05, meaning there is a significant difference compared to the solvent administration group (Steel test). Continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone improved dyskinesia-like symptoms in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant improvement observed at 1.25 mg / kg / hour (Figure 10-A, B). Furthermore, in total dyskinesia-like symptoms over 100-180 minutes, continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone reduced the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant improvement observed at 1.25 mg / kg / hour (Figure 10-C). [Figure 10-2] Figure 10 shows the evaluation of the improvement of dyskinesia-like symptoms with continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone in Example 6. Specifically, PD-LID model rats were continuously subcutaneously administered tandospirone, and levodopa was administered 4 hours later to evaluate dyskinesia-like symptoms. The results are shown as mean ± standard error. * indicates p<0.05, meaning there is a significant difference compared to the solvent administration group (Steel test). Continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone improved dyskinesia-like symptoms in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant improvement observed at 1.25 mg / kg / hour (Figure 10-A, B). Furthermore, in total dyskinesia-like symptoms over 100-180 minutes, continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone reduced the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant improvement observed at 1.25 mg / kg / hour (Figure 10-C). [Figure 11]Figure 11 shows the evaluation of long-term improvement in dyskinesia-like symptoms with continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone in Example 7. Osmotic pumps injected with tandospirone citrate or a solvent were implanted subcutaneously in rats in each group (n=8), and levodopa-based solution was administered 4 hours later. Behavioral observation evaluations were conducted (Day 0 after pump implantation) (Figure 11-A). Repeated administration of levodopa-based solution was continued once daily thereafter, and behavioral observation evaluations were conducted again on Day 13 after pump implantation (Figure 11-B). The mean ± standard error of the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score over 3 hours is shown. Statistical analysis of the test results was performed using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test with the total AIMs score as the index. Compared with the solvent-administered group, ** indicates a p<0.01, meaning a statistically significant difference. In addition, after each behavioral observation evaluation, blood was collected from half of the rats in the tandospirone-administered group (n=4), and the concentration of tandospirone in the plasma was analyzed. [Figure 12] Figure 12 shows the evaluation of the preventive and suppressive effect of continuous subcutaneous administration of tandospirone on dyskinesia-like symptoms in Example 8. Rats with 6-OHDA injury were randomized to each administration group based on apomorphine hydrochloride 0.5 hydrate-induced turnover rate and body weight. An osmotic pump injected with tandospirone citrate or a solvent was implanted subcutaneously in the rats the day after the start of repeated administration of a levodopa solution with the same composition as in Example 2. Behavioral observation evaluations were conducted on days 3, 5, 9, and 15 of repeated levodopa administration using the same method as in Example 2. After the behavioral observation evaluation on day 15, the subcutaneously implanted osmotic pump was removed, and another behavioral observation evaluation was conducted the following day (day 16 of repeated levodopa administration). The results are shown as the mean ± standard error of the 3-hour total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score. Figure 12-A shows the results over time for repeated levodopa administration, and Figure 12-B shows the results on the day after discontinuation of tandospirone citrate administration (day 16). Statistical analysis of the test results was performed by comparing the total AIMs score on day 16 of repeated levodopa administration with the solvent administration group using Steel's test. Compared with the solvent administration group, * indicates p<0.05 and ** indicates p<0.01, meaning there is a statistically significant difference. [Figure 13]Figure 13 shows the evaluation of dyskinesia symptoms after oral administration of tandospirone in Comparative Example 1. Behavioral observation evaluation was performed using the same method as in Example 2. Tandospirone citrate was suspended in a 0.5% methylcellulose solution and orally administered to rats (citrate concentrations of 10 and 30 mg / kg), and after 5 minutes, a levodopa-containing solution was administered intraperitoneally, followed by behavioral observation evaluation. The results in the figure are shown as mean ± standard error. Statistical analysis of the test results was performed by comparing the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score at 3 hours (Figure 13-A) and the total dyskinesia-like symptoms score at 100-180 minutes (Figure 13-B) with the solvent administration group using Steel's test. * indicates p<0.05, meaning there is a statistically significant difference. [Figure 14] Figure 14 shows the evaluation of dyskinesia symptoms after oral administration of tandospirone in Comparative Example 1. Behavioral observation evaluation was performed using the same method as in Example 2. Tandospirone citrate was suspended in a 0.5% methylcellulose solution and orally administered to rats (citrate concentrations of 30 and 100 mg / kg), and after 5 minutes, a levodopa-containing solution was administered intraperitoneally, followed by behavioral observation evaluation. The results in the figure are shown as mean ± standard error. Statistical analysis of the test results was performed by comparing the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score at 3 hours (Figure 14-A) and the total dyskinesia-like symptoms score at 100-180 minutes (Figure 14-B) with the solvent administration group using Steel's test. * indicates p<0.05, meaning there is a statistically significant difference. [Figure 15-1] Figure 15 shows the evaluation of dyskinesia symptoms of the tandospirone metabolite in Comparative Example 2. Behavioral observation evaluation was performed using the same method as in Example 2. 1-PP dihydrochloride (Tokyo Chemical Industries) was dissolved in physiological saline and administered subcutaneously to rats (10, 30 mg / kg), and levodopa-containing solution was administered intraperitoneally 5 minutes later, followed by behavioral observation evaluation (Figure 15-A). The results in the figure are shown as mean ± standard error. Statistical analysis of the test results was performed by comparing the total dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score at 3 hours (Figure 15-B) and the total dyskinesia-like symptoms score at 100-180 minutes (Figure 15-C) with the solvent administration group using Steel's test. [Figure 15-2]Figure 15 shows the evaluation of the tandospirone metabolite of Comparative Example 2 against dyskinesia symptoms. Behavioral observation evaluation was carried out using the same method as in Example 2. 1-PP dihydrochloride (Tokyo Chemical Industry) was dissolved in physiological saline and subcutaneously administered to rats (10, 30 mg / kg), and 5 minutes later, a levodopa combination solution was intraperitoneally administered, and behavioral observation evaluation was carried out (Figure 15-A). The results in the figure are shown as mean ± standard error. Using the total 3-hour dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs) score (Figure 15-B) and the total 100-180 minute dyskinesia-like symptoms score (Figure 15-C) as indicators, statistical analysis of the test results was carried out by comparison with the vehicle-administered group via Steel's test. [Figure 16] Figure 16 is a diagram showing the powder X-ray diffraction patterns of tandospirone free base, tandospirone citrate (hydrate) and tandospirone citrate (anhydride). [Figure 17] Figure 17 shows the results in Example 9. It shows the predicted plasma concentration profile (mean value) of tandospirone free base when a single transdermal administration of tandospirone tape preparation is carried out for 24 hours. Panel B of Figure 17 shows the value obtained by predictive analysis based on the actually measured value for 17.6 mg. [Figure 18] Figure 18 also shows the results in Example 9. It shows the predicted plasma tandospirone concentration profile when repeated transdermal administration of a tandospirone tape preparation is carried out once a day. [Figure 19] Figure 19 also shows the results in Example 9. It shows the predicted plasma tandospirone concentration profile at steady state when repeated transdermal administration of a tandospirone tape preparation is carried out once a day. [Figure 20]Figure 20 shows the results from Example 10. In a rhesus monkey model of MPTP-induced Parkinson's disease levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID), levodopa / Benserazide (levodopa 22 mg / kg, Benserazide 1 / 4 the weight of levodopa) was orally administered, and dyskinesia symptoms were evaluated every 30 minutes from 5 minutes after administration to 150 minutes. The model monkeys were administered transdermally either an ointment containing tandospirone or a placebo ointment without tandospirone. The backs of the rhesus monkeys were shaved, and the ointment was applied to a 4 cm x 10 cm area 19 hours before the test, covered with tape and a clean cloth, and then the monkeys were fitted with a jacket. Dyskinesia was evaluated by analyzing videos of the model monkeys and scoring by evaluators skilled in behavioral assessment. Dyskinesia scores were assessed based on the Revised non-human primate dyskinesia rating scale (J Neurosci 2001;21:6853-6861). A score of 0 was assigned if no dyskinesia was observed. A score of 1 was assigned if dyskinesia was observed for less than 30% of the assessment time, which was considered mild dyskinesia. A score of 2 was assigned if dyskinesia was observed for 30% or more of the assessment time but normal behavior was not impaired, which was considered moderate dyskinesia. A score of 3 was assigned if dyskinesia was observed for 30% to 70% of the assessment time and normal behavior was impaired, which was considered significant dyskinesia. A score of 4 was assigned if dyskinesia was observed for 70% or more of the assessment time and normal behavior was impaired, which was considered severe dyskinesia. In addition, systemic dyskinesia was evaluated as a particularly severe form of dyskinesia. Based on the UDysRS, a clinical assessment scale that incorporates assessment of site-specific dyskinesia, generalized dyskinesia was defined as the presence of dyskinesia in four or more of the six areas: face, right arm, left arm, trunk, right leg, and left leg. A score of 1 was assigned if generalized dyskinesia occurred for 30% or more of the assessment time, and a score of 2 was assigned if generalized dyskinesia occurred for 70% or more of the assessment time. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0027] The present disclosure is described below in best form. Throughout this specification, singular expressions should be understood to include the concept of their plural form unless otherwise specified. Accordingly, singular articles (e.g., "a," "an," "the" in English) should be understood to include the concept of their plural form unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, terms used herein should be understood to have the meaning commonly used in the art unless otherwise specified. Accordingly, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. In case of any conflict, this specification (including definitions) shall prevail.
[0028] (definition, etc.) The following provides definitions of terms used specifically in this specification and / or basic technical concepts as appropriate.
[0029] In this specification, "tandospirone [chemical name: (1R,2S,3R,4S)-N-[4-{4-(pyrimidine-2-yl)piperazine-1-yl}butyl]-2,3-bicyclo[2.2.1]heptanedicarboximide]" has the following structure. [ka] Sediel tablets, which contain tandospirone citrate as the active ingredient, are used in treatment as a serotonergic anxiolytic (see, for example, Sediel package insert, revised April 2016, 14th edition, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd.; Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-126865). Tandospirone has beneficial effects on memory in chronic schizophrenia, and it is known that cognitive impairment can be improved by administering tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof while continuing maintenance therapy with typical antipsychotics such as haloperidol (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 2002-20291; powder X-ray diffraction pattern is shown in Figure 16).
[0030] The active ingredient used in the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure is preferably tandospirone (free form), and pharmaceutically acceptable salts of tandospirone and prodrugs of tandospirone can also be used in the same manner as tandospirone. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs of tandospirone include salts with inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, and phosphate, and salts with organic acids such as acetate, butyrate, tartrate, citrate, maleate, and fumarate.
[0031] A tandospirone prodrug is any component that has a different structure from tandospirone but can be metabolized after administration to tandospirone or a tandospirone-based active ingredient to exert its therapeutic effect.
[0032] A tandospirone prodrug is a compound that is converted to tandospirone by enzymes or other reactions under physiological conditions in the body; that is, a compound that changes to tandospirone through enzymatic oxidation, reduction, hydrolysis, etc., or a compound that changes to tandospirone through hydrolysis, etc., by acids, etc. Furthermore, a tandospirone prodrug may also be one that changes to tandospirone under physiological conditions, as described on pages 163 to 198 of Volume 7, Molecular Design, of "Pharmaceutical Development," published by Hirokawa Shoten in 1990. The tandospirone or its salts or prodrugs (hereinafter also referred to as tandospirones) of this disclosure have excellent serotonin 5-HT1A receptor activating activity. Furthermore, the tandospirones disclosed herein are low in toxicity and safe.
[0033] Drugs containing "tandospirone citrate" as the active ingredient are clinically applied as oral medications for the treatment of (1) depression and phobias in neuroses, and (2) physical symptoms, depression, anxiety, restlessness, and sleep disorders in psychosomatic disorders (autonomic nervous system dysfunction, essential hypertension, peptic ulcers). In in vitro receptor binding evaluations of various neurotransmitter receptors, tandospirone shows high selectivity for serotonin 1A receptors (hereinafter also referred to as "5-HT1A receptors"), while showing low affinity for dopamine 2 receptors (also referred to as "D2 receptors"). Therefore, it is thought that tandospirone is effective in treating neuroses and other conditions by activating 5-HT1A receptors and selectively acting on serotonergic neurons. In this specification, "pharmacotherapy for Parkinson's disease" means receiving treatment with medications for Parkinson's disease. Drug therapies for Parkinson's disease include dopamine replacement therapy (levodopa therapy, levodopa metabolic enzyme inhibitors, dopamine receptor agonists, etc.) and adjunctive medications for Parkinson's disease. A typical example of dopamine replacement therapy is levodopa therapy, which includes levodopa therapy in the narrow sense (also called treatment with levodopa-containing preparations) and drug therapy with levodopa metabolic enzyme inhibitors. The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are expected to be effective in treating, improving, or preventing motor complications in patients receiving drug therapy for Parkinson's disease. In particular, patients receiving levodopa therapy are known to be prone to developing motor complications, and the pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein are useful for these patients.
[0034] In this specification, "levodopa" (in the broad sense) includes not only levodopa in the narrow sense (L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (IUPAC name: (S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid), also known as L-dopa), but also any other drugs that exhibit equivalent pharmacological effects to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. Such other drugs include, but are not limited to, esters and salts of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine. Examples of esters of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine include levodopaethyl ester (LDEE; ethyl(2S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate), levodopapropyl ester (propyl(2S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate), levodopamethyl ester (methyl(2S)-2-amino-3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate), and others. Esters of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine may include salts containing hydrated salts, for example. Salts of levodopa esters may include, but are not limited to, octanoate, myristate, succinate, succinate dihydrate, fumarate, fumarate dihydrate, mesylate, tartrate, and hydrochloride. For example, succinate salts or succinate dihydrates of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine esters include levodopaethyl ester succinate (LDEE-S) or levodopaethyl ester succinate dihydrate (LDEE-S-dihydrate or LDEE-S(d)).
[0035] In this specification, "levodopa metabolic enzyme inhibitors" refers to any drug that inhibits the metabolism of levodopa in a broad sense, thereby enhancing its effects. Examples include dopa decarboxylase inhibitors (DCIs) that prevent levodopa from being converted to dopamine in the intestines, liver, and blood vessels (e.g., carbidopa, α-methyldopa, benzerazide (Ro4-4602), α-difluoromethyl-DOPA (DFMD), or their salts); catecholamine-O-methyltransferase inhibitors (COMT-Is) that prevent levodopa from being broken down before it enters the brain (e.g., entacapone); and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-Is) that prevent dopamine from being broken down in the brain (e.g., selegiline).
[0036] (Diseases / Disorders) In this specification, "motor complications" refers to any motor symptoms that pose therapeutic problems in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease. Examples include dyskinesia (levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID)), which is an involuntary movement associated with levodopa treatment, and motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena. On / off is a phenomenon in which symptoms fluctuate rapidly, like switching a switch on and off. While wearing-off is predictable, on / off is unpredictable. Motor complications are interpreted as being based on either an overdose or deficiency of levodopa, but the mechanism is not necessarily clear (Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines 2018 Version (Part III Q&A on Parkinson's Disease Treatment Chapter 3 Treatment of Motor Symptoms)).
[0037] Dyskinesia (involuntary movement) is a type of motor complication that appears in patients with Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, referring to involuntary movements of the limbs or body, such as uncontrolled wriggling. Similar to Parkinson's disease, it includes dyskinesia in patients with neurodegenerative diseases accompanied by a deficiency of dopamine in the striatum. Dyskinesia is believed to be caused by various factors, including those induced by various drugs (e.g., levodopa) and dyskinesia that occurs during drug administration. In this specification, "levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID)" refers to involuntary movements of the limbs and body, such as uncontrolled wriggling, induced by an overdose of levodopa. It is known that dyskinesia is more likely to appear if excessive amounts of levodopa are taken from the early stages of the disease, and that once dyskinesia appears, it is very difficult to control even with various adjustments to the levodopa dosage. Peak-dose dyskinesia is a representative symptom of PD-LID, in which symptoms appear in the face, tongue, neck, limbs, trunk, etc., during periods of high levodopa blood concentration.
[0038] In this specification, "circadian rhythm" and "kinetic rhythm" are interchangeable. Circadian rhythm refers to a shortening of the drug's duration of action, with the effect disappearing before the next dose. This is attributed to a decrease in dopamine-retaining nerve endings as Parkinson's disease progresses. Typical circadian rhythms include the wearing-off phenomenon. In this specification, "not worsening" of circadian rhythm means, for example, that the wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena do not worsen, and that the ON time does not shorten or the OFF time does not lengthen.
[0039] In this specification, “progression inhibition” includes delaying, halting, or improving (including perception) the progression of motor complications in Parkinson’s disease compared to no treatment. In the case of motor complications in Parkinson’s disease, this can be determined by, but is not limited to, confirming an extension of ON time without dyskinesia. The treatment, prevention, or improvement of various diseases, disorders, or symptoms of this disclosure may include inhibition of the progression of motor complications in Parkinson’s disease.
[0040] In this specification, the "wearing-off phenomenon" refers to the phenomenon caused by a shortening of the duration of action of levodopa, resulting in a period during which the effects of levodopa wear off. The period during which levodopa is effective is called the "on period," and the period during which the effects of levodopa have disappeared is called the "off period." The on-off phenomenon refers to a sudden improvement (on) or worsening (off) of symptoms regardless of the timing of levodopa administration. The no-on phenomenon refers to a situation where no effect is observed even after taking levodopa, and the delayed-on phenomenon refers to a situation where it takes time for the effects of levodopa to appear. The "on time," which is the duration of anti-Parkinson's disease action, refers to the total time during which the effects of levodopa are observed. In nonclinical studies, it is defined as the time during which levodopa-induced rotational behavior is observed in 6-OHDA-treated rats. Rotational behavior is indicated by the duration of rotational movement in the opposite direction of destruction or the total number of rotational movements, and reflects striatal dopamine hyperactivity.
[0041] Involuntary movements (dyskinesia) refer to movements of parts of the body that are uncontrollable, such as biting the lip, difficulty speaking, inability to sit still, and difficulty controlling the limbs. It is a motor disorder characterized by involuntary movements of the limbs and / or oral and facial regions and / or the axial parts of the body. Dyskinesia observed in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients receiving levodopa treatment is called levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), and occurs in more than half of PD patients 5 to 10 years after starting levodopa treatment. The proportion of patients affected by LID increases over time (see, for example, Encarnacion and Hauser, (2008), "Levodopa-induced dyskinesias in Parkinson's disease: etiology, impact on quality of life, and treatments," Eur Neurol, 60(2), pp. 57-66). As used herein, "not exacerbating dyskinesia symptoms" means, for example, a state in which, compared to before the initiation of the treatment disclosed herein or in a state in which the therapeutic agent disclosed herein is not administered, no new dyskinesia symptoms appear, no exacerbation of dyskinesia symptoms occurs, or no rebound dyskinesia symptoms occur.
[0042] Peak-dose dyskinesia is involuntary movement that occurs when antiparkinson's disease medication is administered in excess. Diphasic dyskinesia is dyskinesia that occurs in two phases: before the onset of the effect of the antiparkinson's disease medication and during the withdrawal of that effect.
[0043] In the phrases "without dyskinesia," "without exacerbating dyskinesia," and "without rebound symptoms of dyskinesia" in this disclosure, when "dyskinesia" refers to levodopa-induced peak-dose dyskinesia, this can be confirmed by evaluating the effect of the therapeutic agent / treatment method of the present invention during the time period when the pharmacological effect of the antiparkinson's disease drug is high. For example, when it is levodopa-induced peak-dose dyskinesia, this can be confirmed by evaluating the time from 1 to 6 hours after levodopa administration.
[0044] ON time without dyskinesia refers to the total time during which dyskinesia does not occur within the "ON time," which is the duration of antiparkinsonian disease action. In nonclinical settings, it can be defined, for example, as the time during which the dyskinesia symptom (AIMs) score is 0 and the locomotive behavior score is 1 or higher at each evaluation point after levodopa administration in PD-LID model animals. However, if a similar model exists, it can also be used for evaluation.
[0045] As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" include acid and / or base salts formed by inorganic and / or organic acids and bases, and include acid addition salts and base addition salts. For example, acid addition salts include inorganic acid salts such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, sulfate, hydroiodide, nitrate, and phosphate, or organic acid salts such as citrate, oxalate, phthalate, fumarate, maleate, succinate, malate, acetate, formate, propionate, benzoate, trifluoroacetate, methanesulfonate, benzenesulfonate, p-toluenesulfonate, and camphorsulfonate. Furthermore, examples of base addition salts include inorganic base salts such as sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, magnesium salts, barium salts, and aluminum salts, or organic base salts such as trimethylamine, triethylamine, pyridine, picoline, 2,6-lutidine, ethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine [tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine], tert-butylamine, cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, and N,N-dibenzylethylamine. In addition, "pharmaceutically acceptable salts" include amino acid salts with basic amino acids or acidic amino acids such as arginine, lysine, ornithine, aspartic acid, or glutamic acid. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts are well known in the prior art. For example, Berge et al. describe pharmaceutically acceptable salts in detail in J. Pharmaceutical Sciences (1977) 66:1-19.
[0046] A pharmaceutical product comprising tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof as disclosed herein may optionally include a carrier. As used herein, the term “carrier” means a pharmaceutically acceptable substance, composition, or excipient, such as a liquid or solid extender, diluent, additive, solvent, base, or skin penetration enhancer, relating to or enabling the transport or delivery of the pharmaceutical compound of interest from one organ, tissue, or part of the body to another organ, tissue, or part of the body. “Pharmacologically acceptable” means that it is compatible with other ingredients in the formulation and is not harmful to the subject.
[0047] The diseases treatable in this invention include any motor complications of Parkinson's disease.
[0048] In this disclosure, treatable diseases include any levodopa-induced motor complications of Parkinson's disease and associated diurnal variations.
[0049] In specific embodiments, patients treatable in this disclosure include Parkinson's disease patients who have or are likely to develop levodopa-induced motor complications. Levodopa-induced motor complications include levodopa-induced dyskinesia.
[0050] The improvement effect of the present invention on dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia, can be clinically confirmed by clinical evaluation scales such as the Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS), Clinical Dyskinesia Rating Scale (CDRS), The Rush Dyskinesia Rating Scale (Rush DRS), Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS), Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L), PDQ-39 (Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire-39), Clinical Global Impressions (CGI), and Patient Global Impression (PGI), as well as scales calculated from movement information acquired by wearable devices such as patient diaries, accelerometers, and / or gyroscopes. Furthermore, in nonclinical PD-LID model rats, the improvement in dyskinesia can be confirmed by evaluating dyskinesia-like abnormal involuntary motor behaviors. Using this method, it is possible to measure the improvement, suppression or prevention of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) symptoms, as well as the reduction in the duration of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) episodes.
[0051] In this disclosure, the duration of action (ON time) and the downtime (OFF time) of antiparkinson's disease drugs such as levodopa can be clinically confirmed using, for example, clinical evaluation scales such as the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), MDS-UPDRS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI, as well as scales calculated from locomotion information obtained from patient diaries and wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes. Furthermore, in the nonclinical model 6-OHDA unilaterally treated rat, the therapeutic effect on ON time can be confirmed by the extension of levodopa-induced rotational behavior time.
[0052] In this disclosure, "rebound symptoms" of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease, etc., refer to a phenomenon in which dyskinesia worsens compared to when treatment with a dyskinesia-improving drug was not performed, after the peak time of the anti-Parkinson's disease effect of levodopa (e.g., 1 hour), and is assumed to appear 1 to 6 hours after levodopa administration. Here, levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) is given as an example of dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease, etc. In this disclosure, improving dyskinesia in patients with Parkinson's disease or other conditions (e.g., levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID)) without causing rebound symptoms can be confirmed by evaluating the effect of the therapeutic agent / treatment method of the present invention during the time period when the pharmacological effect of the anti-Parkinson's disease drug is high. For example, in the case of PD-LID or in patients receiving levodopa therapy, this can be evaluated by checking that the total dyskinesia score improves without worsening of dyskinesia at one, preferably multiple, evaluation points 1 to 6 hours after levodopa administration. For example, in the AIMs evaluation system of a nonclinical PD-LID model rat, rebound symptoms of levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) can be evaluated using indicators such as clear dyskinesia-like symptoms (AIMs score of 2 or higher) observed 120-140 minutes after levodopa administration or the total dyskinesia-like symptom score at 100-180 minutes. Improvement in dyskinesia can be assessed using the total AIMs score 180 minutes after levodopa administration.
[0053] In this disclosure, whether the ON time of an antiparkinson's disease drug (e.g., levodopa) is extended without worsening dyskinesia (e.g., PD-LID symptoms) in patients with Parkinson's disease or the like can be clinically confirmed using clinical evaluation scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI, or scales calculated from ON time, OFF time recorded in the patient's diary, and locomotion information acquired by wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes. In addition, for example, in a nonclinical model PD-LID rat, this can be confirmed by evaluating dyskinesia and rotational behavior time.
[0054] Whether the ON time without dyskinesia is prolonged in this disclosure can be clinically confirmed using clinical assessment scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI, or scales calculated from ON time, OFF time, and movement information obtained from wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes, as recorded in the patient's diary. For example, UDysRS and the patient's diary can be used for evaluation. In addition, for example, in the nonclinical model PD-LID rat, it can be confirmed by evaluating the rotational behavior time without dyskinesia.
[0055] In this disclosure, whether the on-time without troublesome dyskinesia is prolonged can be clinically confirmed using clinical assessment scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI recorded in patient diaries, as well as scales calculated from on-time, off-time, and motion information obtained from wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes. For example, UDysRS and patient diaries can be combined for evaluation.
[0056] Whether the ON time is prolonged without the rebound symptoms of dyskinesia described in this disclosure can be confirmed, for example, by comparing it with the case where the therapeutic agent described in this disclosure was not administered. Clinically, this can be confirmed by clinical evaluation scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI recorded in the patient's diary, as well as by scales calculated from ON time, OFF time, and movement information acquired by wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes, as recorded in the patient's diary. In addition, for example, in the nonclinical model PD-LID rat, it can be confirmed by evaluating dyskinesia and rotational behavior time. For example, UDysRS and the patient's diary can be used in combination for evaluation.
[0057] In this disclosure, diurnal variation in motor symptoms (motor complications) can be clinically confirmed using clinical assessment scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, and PGI recorded in patient diaries, as well as scales calculated from ON time, OFF time, and movement information acquired by wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes recorded in patient diaries. Diurnal variation can be considered to have improved when improvement in the clinical assessment scale or a reduction in OFF time is confirmed in the patient diary. Clinical assessment scales can be evaluated using methods known in the relevant field.
[0058] In this disclosure, improving diurnal variation (motor complications) without causing rebound symptoms of dyskinesia means that, compared to cases where treatment with a drug that improves diurnal variation (motor complications) is not performed after levodopa administration, diurnal variation (motor complications) improves without worsening of dyskinesia, even temporarily.
[0059] The inventors have found that tandospirone improves diurnal variation (motor complications), preferably without worsening dyskinesia. Improvement without worsening dyskinesia includes improvement without the emergence of new dyskinesia symptoms, worsening of clinical dyskinesia scores, or occurrence of dyskinesia rebound symptoms. Furthermore, the inventors have found that parenteral administration of tandospirone improves diurnal variation (motor complications) better than oral administration, specifically demonstrating superior extension of dyskinesia-free ON time. In other words, parenteral administration (transdermal administration) showed an extension of dyskinesia-free ON time regardless of the dose, but oral administration did not show extension of dyskinesia-free ON time at the usual dose (10, 30 mg / kg in rats). Only when the dose was increased to a dose where central nervous system side effects were a concern (100 mg / kg in rats) did the dyskinesia-free ON time become extended. Those skilled in the art can calculate appropriate human doses in light of these doses. (See, for example, the Sediel Tablets Drug Interview Form, 10th Edition, December 2017, Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma Co., Ltd.). Therefore, while tandospirone can be administered orally, parenteral administration is preferred, continuous parenteral administration or parenteral administration of a sustained-release formulation is even more preferred, and transdermal administration of tandospirone is most preferred.
[0060] In this specification, levodopa-induced "dystonia," also known as dystonia, is a general term for motor disorders involving involuntary and sustained muscle contractions caused by central nervous system damage associated with levodopa administration. It refers to symptoms such as postural abnormalities, twisting, rigidity, and spasms of the whole body or parts of the body. Levodopa-induced dystonia can be clinically evaluated using the MDS-UPDRS (Part IV), UDysRS, etc.
[0061] In this specification, "adjunct" refers to any agent other than the main agent. In this disclosure, for example, if levodopa is the main agent, then tandospirone and the like can be considered adjuncts.
[0062] In this specification, the daily dose of antiparkinson's disease drugs is the usual dose of antiparkinson's disease drugs as described in the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines or the corresponding guidelines in the United States and Europe. In this specification, the daily dose of levodopa, the active ingredient, provided as an example, is the usual dose of levodopa treatment as described in the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines or the corresponding guidelines in the United States and Europe. Generally, the usual daily dose of levodopa, when used in combination with or in combination with a peripheral dopa decarboxylase inhibitor (DCI), is 50 to 1200 mg / day, preferably 100 to 600 mg / day. For example, SINEMET® (Carbidopa-Levodopa combination tablets) (New Drug Application (NDA) #017555), approved by the FDA, is available as 1:4 ratio combination tablets (Carbidopa 25 mg - Levodopa 100 mg) and 1:10 ratio combination tablets (Carbidopa 10 mg - Levodopa 100 mg, Carbidopa 25 mg - Levodopa 250 mg). The daily maintenance dose is administered with SINEMET® to provide 70 mg to 100 mg of Carbidopa, and the daily maximum dose is administered with SINEMET® up to 200 mg of Carbidopa.
[0063] The tandospirone or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs or therapies described herein enable the reduced treatment or prevention of motor complications associated with the administration of standard doses of levodopa.
[0064] By administering tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof as disclosed herein, the levodopa dosage can be appropriately adjusted. For example, it can be increased within the range of single doses and daily doses specified in the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines published by the Japanese Society of Neurology or the corresponding guidelines in the United States and Europe.
[0065] By administering tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof as disclosed herein, it is possible to improve diurnal variability (motor complications) without increasing the levodopa dose above the usual dose.
[0066] In this specification, “having sustained release” can be determined by a person skilled in the art, taking into consideration the descriptions herein and utilizing the knowledge known in the art. Specifically, it can be defined as having sustained release if it maintains a blood drug concentration for a long period of time and exhibits an effect of extending the biological half-life. Examples of sustained-release compositions include the various transdermal formulations described in
[0076] , the various sustained-release injectable formulations described in
[0117] , and the various implantable formulations described in
[0118] . Furthermore, in this disclosure, “administered continuously” means continuously administering the active ingredient in this disclosure into the body from outside the body. This can be selected from the parenteral administration routes described in
[0071] and can be achieved by transdermal absorption, injection, or infusion. Alternatively, “having sustained release” may mean that there is little fluctuation in the blood concentration of tandospirone. In this specification, "low blood concentration variability" means that the ratio of the maximum (Cmax) to the minimum (Cmin) tandospirone concentration at the final dose after reaching a steady state falls within a certain range. This certain range can be appropriately determined by a person skilled in the art by referring to the disclosure herein, depending on the objective to be achieved (for example, suppression of exercise complications (e.g., suppression of diurnal variation)), for example, the ratio of the maximum (Cmax) to the minimum (Cmin) tandospirone concentration at the final dose after reaching a steady state being 1.0 to 3.0, 1.0 to 2.0, 1.0 to 1.8, or 1.0 to 1.7.
[0067] In this specification, “clinically significant time” can be determined by a person skilled in the art, taking into consideration the descriptions herein and utilizing the knowledge known in the art. Specifically, if a significant effect is shown in the prevention, treatment, or reduction of the motor complications covered by this disclosure, that time can be defined as clinically significant time. Similarly, in this specification, “clinically significant improvement” can be defined as a clinically significant improvement if a significant effect is shown in the prevention, treatment, or reduction of the motor complications covered by this disclosure. The method for measuring such time or improvement can be appropriately selected by a person skilled in the art, and for example, any method described herein can be considered, but is not limited thereto, and for example, the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines published by the Japanese Society of Neurology can be used. Alternatively, there is a report of a clinical evaluation index for dyskinesia (MDS UDysRS Part III) of 2.32 points (Parkinsonism Relat Disord 21:1349, 2015), and can be appropriately determined by considering (1) comparison with placebo, and (2) before and after treatment for each patient. In this specification, "maintaining a sustained level of dopamine in the synaptic cleft of the striatum" means that the level of dopamine in the synaptic cleft of the striatum is maintained above a certain concentration. For example, this can be confirmed in this specification by PET tests under the conditions described in the aforementioned references, and the striatum [ 11 [C] The change in raclopride receptor binding amount over 1h / 4h is less than 5%, and / or the striatum [ 11 In this specification, the effect of the pharmaceutical composition can be confirmed by the fact that the percentage change in the amount of raclopride receptor binding over 1h / 4h is 90% or less, preferably 80% or less, and more preferably 70% or less. Here, in this specification, the striatum before administration of levodopa and 1 hour after administration of levodopa [ 11 The change in C]raclopride receptor binding is referred to as the change amount B / 1h. In this specification, "suppressing rapid fluctuations in dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft of the striatum" means that the amount of dopamine in the synaptic cleft of the striatum does not change significantly in a short period of time. For example, this can be confirmed by PET scans under the conditions described in the aforementioned references, and the striatum [ 11 The effectiveness of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be confirmed by the fact that the change in the amount of raclopride receptor binding B / 1h is less than 10%, and / or the rate of change B / 1h is 90% or less, preferably 80% or less, and more preferably 70% or less. In this specification, "suppressing intermittent dopamine receptor stimulation" means suppressing the time-dependent increase or decrease in dopamine levels in the synaptic cleft of the striatum. For example, this can be confirmed by PET scans under the conditions described in the aforementioned references, and the striatum [ 11 The effectiveness of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be confirmed by whether or not the difference between the change in raclopride receptor binding amount B / 1h and the change in B / 4h is reduced.
[0068] In this specification, “a sufficient time to obtain a clinical effect” and “a sufficient level to obtain a clinical effect” can also be determined by a person skilled in the art, taking into consideration the descriptions herein and utilizing the knowledge known in the art. Specifically, if it is possible to measure the time or level at which a clinical effect such as the prevention, treatment, or reduction of motor complications covered by this disclosure can be obtained, then that time or level can be evaluated as a sufficient time to obtain a clinical effect. The method for measuring such time or level can be appropriately selected by a person skilled in the art, and may include, for example, any method described herein, or, for example, the 2018 version of the Parkinson's Disease Treatment Guidelines published by the Japanese Society of Neurology or corresponding guidelines in the United States or Europe.
[0069] In this specification, "not exacerbating dyskinesia symptoms (e.g., levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID) symptoms) in patients with Parkinson's disease" means not exacerbating already present dyskinesia symptoms to a clinically significant degree or significantly, not prolonging the duration of dyskinesia, not significantly exacerbating symptoms even temporarily like dyskinesia rebound symptoms, not causing new dyskinesia symptoms, and not significantly increasing the frequency of dyskinesia side effects compared to cases where the composition of the present invention is not administered. Dyskinesia symptoms can be confirmed, for example, by clinical evaluation scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, PGI, etc., or by scales calculated from ON time, OFF time, and movement information obtained by wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes recorded in the patient's diary.
[0070] In this specification, "deterioration of the quality of response to levodopa treatment in Parkinson's disease patients" refers to any decline in a patient's responsiveness to levodopa treatment, and such deterioration in the quality of response can be measured from diurnal variation and dyskinesia symptoms. Furthermore, "improvement" of "deterioration of the quality of response to levodopa treatment in Parkinson's disease patients" refers to an improvement in the degree of diurnal variation and dyskinesia symptoms in each patient's response to levodopa treatment, and can be confirmed by clinical evaluation scales such as UPDRS, MDS-UPDRS, UDysRS, CDRS, Rush DRS, AIMS, EQ-5D-5L, PDQ-39, CGI, PGI, etc., or by scales calculated from ON time, OFF time recorded in the patient's diary, and motion information acquired by wearable devices such as accelerometers and / or gyroscopes.
[0071] In this specification, "parenteral administration" refers to any form of administration other than oral administration, preferably any form in which tandospirone is administered in a form and level effective for levodopa-induced motor complications of Parkinson's disease. Means of parenteral administration include transdermal or transmucosal absorption, and include injection, infusion, or combination thereof. For example, transdermal or transmucosal absorption involves applying a transdermal formulation such as a topical application, patch, or spray to the skin or mucous membrane, and the drug in the formulation is absorbed into the body through the skin or mucous membrane to exert its effect. Administration by injection or infusion includes intravenous, intradermal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, and enteral (enema) administration, and may be bolus administration and / or continuous infusion. These may be suspensions, solutions, emulsions, or implants in an oily or aqueous medium containing other formulation substances such as suspending agents, stabilizers, and / or dispersants. For enteral (enema) administration, the drug can be continuously delivered to the proximal small intestine using a tube and portable infusion pump via percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. In one preferred embodiment, parenteral administration may be carried out in the form of continuous administration. Such continuous administration can be achieved by patch, injection, or infusion.
[0072] In this disclosure, tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof is preferably administered in a manner that can maintain a blood drug concentration for a long period of time, and more preferably in a manner that can suppress the production of metabolites. Methods of administration include transdermal administration and subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular injection. In the case of subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular injection, a method of administration that sustains blood concentration is preferred. Among these, transdermal administration is the most preferred because it does not require hospital visits and is less invasive.
[0073] In this disclosure, the treatment, improvement, or prevention of motor complications associated with levodopa treatment for Parkinson's disease by parenteral administration of tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof, or a pharmaceutical or composition containing the same, is preferable to treatment with active ingredients other than those disclosed, or to treatments and compositions other than those disclosed, from the viewpoint that it does not adversely affect the duration of action (ON time) of levodopa, does not adversely affect Parkinson's symptoms (which can be evaluated by UPDRS, etc.), the effect of this disclosure is not diminished even with repeated administration, and the number of daily administrations of levodopa preparations can be reduced by increasing the levodopa preparation to the optimal dose without worsening motor complications.
[0074] This disclosure provides compositions, pharmaceuticals, methods for treatment or prevention of motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease, etc., containing tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof. Motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease have become a problem, and such fluctuations can occur in conjunction with drug therapies for Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa therapy, though this is not intended to be an limitation. In this disclosure, the inventors have unexpectedly found that tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof can suppress or eliminate motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. Furthermore, they have found that parenteral administration has the effect of extending ON time without dyskinesia, and that it has a clinically significant and more favorable effect in improving motor complications. Thus, the fact that parenteral administration of tandospirone exerted the effect of extending ON time without dyskinesia was not predictable from conventional knowledge. In other words, drugs that suppress or eliminate diurnal motor fluctuations are typically thought to have a pharmacological effect that increases dopamine levels, which is therefore expected to be accompanied by an exacerbation of dyskinesia.
[0075] This disclosure also finds that it can treat, improve, or prevent motor fluctuations such as wearing-off, on-off, no-on, and delayed-on phenomena, as well as treat, improve, or prevent dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID). PD-LID, a typical example of dyskinesia, is induced by levodopa overdose, so suppressing brain dopamine concentration is considered effective. On the other hand, increasing brain dopamine concentration is considered effective in suppressing motor fluctuations by extending on time or shortening off time. Therefore, it was not possible from conventional knowledge that the composition of this disclosure could treat, improve, or prevent motor fluctuations while simultaneously treating, improving, or preventing motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (PD-LID).
[0076] "Transdermal absorption preparations" refer to topical preparations, patches, and sprays (aerosols). Specifically, examples of patches include tapes, poultices, and plasters, while examples of topical preparations include ointments, creams, lotions, liniments, liquids, and gels. Patches are preferred. Tapes are even more preferred. In this disclosure, "tape" is synonymous with "patch," and therefore may also be referred to as "tape / patch" in this specification.
[0077] Transdermal formulations are manufactured by known methods using pharmaceutically acceptable additives. In one embodiment, the transdermal formulation used in this disclosure has an adhesive layer provided on a support, and the adhesive layer can be manufactured by including a thermoplastic elastomer or the like. A "thermoplastic elastomer" is an elastomer that exhibits thermoplasticity, softening and becoming fluid when heated and returning to a rubbery elastic body when cooled, and includes various thermoplastic elastomers such as urethane-based, acrylic-based, styrene-based, and olefin-based elastomers.
[0078] In the transdermal formulations of this disclosure, the adhesive layer may contain a non-volatile hydrocarbon oil. The non-volatile hydrocarbon oil is preferably a chain-type saturated hydrocarbon or a chain-type unsaturated hydrocarbon with approximately 20 to 40 carbon atoms, such as liquid paraffin, squalene, squalane, or pristane. Liquid paraffin is more preferred from the viewpoint of availability. Liquid paraffin is a colorless, odorless liquid mixture of alkanes with 20 or more carbon atoms, and in this disclosure, those conforming to the standards specified in the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, the United States Pharmacopeia, etc., can be preferably used. The non-volatile hydrocarbon oil is preferably of high viscosity, and particularly high viscosity liquid paraffin is preferred from the viewpoint of adhesiveness.
[0079] Furthermore, the adhesive layer may contain a tackifier as needed. The tackifier is a resin commonly used in the field of adhesive patches to impart skin adhesion, and examples include rosin resins, polyterpene resins, coumarone-indene resins, petroleum resins, terpene-phenol resins, and alicyclic saturated hydrocarbon resins. One or more of these can be selected and used.
[0080] Furthermore, if transdermal administration is intended, it can also be achieved by applying ointment to the skin.
[0081] Dosage forms for parenteral administration (e.g., transdermal administration) of tandospirone or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or prodrug thereof of the present disclosure, other than tapes / patches, may include powders, sprays, ointments, pastes, creams, lotions, gels, and solutions.
[0082] Ointments, pastes, creams, and gels may contain additives such as animal and vegetable fats, oils, waxes, paraffin, starch, tragacanth, cellulose derivatives, polyethylene glycol, silicone, bentonite, silicic acid, talc, and zinc oxide, or mixtures thereof, in addition to tandospirone or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts or prodrugs as disclosed herein.
[0083] The powders and sprays may, in addition to the pharmaceutical compositions of this disclosure, contain additives such as lactose, talc, silicic acid, aluminum hydroxide, calcium silicate, and polyamide powder, or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, the sprays may contain common high-pressure gases such as chlorofluorohydrocarbons, as well as volatile unsubstituted hydrocarbons such as butane and propane.
[0084] In addition to ointments, powders, solutions, and other materials are also considered to be within the scope of this disclosure, as long as they are suitable for parenteral administration.
[0085] Compositions suitable for parenteral administration may include at least one pharmaceutically acceptable sterile isotonic aqueous or nonaqueous solution, dispersion, suspension, emulsion, embedding agent, or sterile powder that can be reconstituted into a sterile injection solution or dispersion immediately before use.
[0086] The compositions disclosed herein can be made into suppositories for rectal or vaginal administration and can be prepared by mixing one or more compounds of the herein with one or more suitable non-irritating additives or carriers, such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol, suppository wax, or salicylate, which are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature, and thus melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity to release the compounds of the herein. Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for vaginal administration may also include pessaries, tampons, creams, gels, pastes, foams, or spray formulations containing carriers known to be suitable in the prior art.
[0087] In this disclosure, "drug dosage" refers to the amount of drug contained in the composition. On the label (package insert), it is stated as the content of the active ingredient. In this disclosure, "drug transfer amount" refers to the amount of drug taken into the body. If the composition is a transdermal formulation, "drug transfer amount" refers to the amount of drug transferred from the transdermal formulation to the skin, and is a value calculated by the following formula. The drug transfer amount is related to the efficacy of the drug. In clinical formulation results, the transfer amount is often 40-50% of the administered dose, but is not limited to this. "Remaining drug amount" refers to the amount of drug remaining on the transdermal formulation after it has been removed from the patch, and can be quantified by the method described in the Examples (Reference Manufacturing Examples) (
[0127] ), etc. Drug transfer amount (mg / day) = Drug dose (mg / day) - Remaining drug amount (mg / day) In addition, for formulations other than transdermal formulations, such as oral formulations and injectable formulations, the entire formulation is administered to the body, so the amount of drug administered and the amount of drug transferred are usually considered to be substantially the same. Therefore, for example, in the case of oral formulations, "being taken into the body" means being delivered into the gastrointestinal tract.

[0098] As one appropriate clinical evaluation to confirm the efficacy of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention against dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease, the protocol described in the following reference (J Clin Invest. (2014) 124(3):1340-1349.) can be used as a reference. Specifically, for patients with dyskinesia symptoms, brain functional imaging analysis using positron emission tomography (PET) of striatal dopamine D2 receptors can be performed and used to estimate the progression of the disease, the effective concentration of the drug, and to evaluate the treatment effect. For example, [ 11 C] raclopride can be used. 11 C] raclopride PET, striatum from baseline (OFF state) after administration of levodopa or in combination with administration of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention and levodopa [ 11 By measuring the change in [C]raclopride binding, it is possible to evaluate the change in dopamine release in the striatum. Striatum in Parkinson's disease [ 11 Changes in raclopride receptor binding have been reported to be associated with the progression of Parkinson's disease, diurnal variation, and dyskinesia (Reference: Brain. (2004) 127:2747-2754). Based on the conditions of the PET scans described in the aforementioned references, the results of evaluating the dopamine levels in the striatum can be considered as follows. For example, in Parkinson's disease patients with diurnal variation or dyskinesia, compared to Parkinson's disease patients without diurnal variation or dyskinesia, the striatum before and 1 hour after levodopa administration is [ 11It is known that the change in raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as change B / 1h) is large, for example, 10% or more, or 15% or more. When the change B / 1h decreases with drug treatment, it means that there is a therapeutic effect on motor complications such as dyskinesia. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is expected to reduce the change B / 1h, and in particular, it is expected to reduce the change B / 1h and have a therapeutic effect on motor complications such as dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease patients whose change B / 1h is significantly larger than in Parkinson's disease patients without diurnal variation or dyskinesia. When treated with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, for example, it is expected that the change B / 1h can be reduced to less than 10%. For example, in Parkinson's disease patients with diurnal variation or dyskinesia, compared to Parkinson's disease patients without diurnal variation or dyskinesia, the striatum [ 1 hour and 4 hours after levodopa administration ] 11 It is known that the absolute value of the change in C]raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as change in 1h / 4h) is large, for example, 5% or more. When the change in B / 1h decreases with drug treatment, it means that there is a therapeutic effect on motor complications such as diurnal variation. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is expected to reduce the change in B / 1h, and in particular, it is expected to reduce the change in 1h / 4h and have a therapeutic effect on motor complications such as diurnal variation in Parkinson's disease patients with diurnal variation and dyskinesia, whose change in B / 1h is significantly larger than in Parkinson's disease patients without diurnal variation and dyskinesia. When treated with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, for example, it is expected that the change in 1h / 4h can be reduced to less than 5%. For example, "The striatum before and 1 hour after administration of levodopa before treatment with the composition of the present invention [ 11 When the change in raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as change before treatment B / 1h) is taken as 100%, the striatum before and 1 hour after levodopa administration following therapeutic intervention with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention [ 11A decrease in the percentage of change in raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as change amount B / 1h after treatment) (sometimes abbreviated as change rate B / 1h) indicates a therapeutic effect on motor complications such as dyskinesia. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is expected to reduce the change rate B / 1h, and when a PET test is performed under the conditions reported in the literature, for example, the change rate B / 1h can be reduced to 90% or less, preferably 80% or less, and more preferably 70% or less. For example, in Parkinson's disease patients with diurnal variation and dyskinesia, "the striatum was observed 1 hour and 4 hours after administration of levodopa prior to treatment with the composition of the present invention." 11 [C] The change in raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as the change before treatment at 1h / 4h) is greater than the change in the striatum at 1 hour and 4 hours after administration of levodopa following therapeutic intervention with the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention. 11 A decrease in the percentage of change in raclopride receptor binding (sometimes abbreviated as change amount 1h / 4h after treatment) (sometimes abbreviated as change rate 1h / 4h) indicates a therapeutic effect on exercise complications such as diurnal variation. The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is expected to reduce the change rate 1h / 4h, and when a PET test is performed under the conditions reported in the literature, for example, the change rate 1h / 4h can be reduced to 90% or less, preferably 80% or less, and more preferably 70% or less. Furthermore, the measurement point before levodopa administration should be measured after sufficient time has elapsed since levodopa administration, when the effects of levodopa are no longer noticeable. The measurement point one hour after administration can be measured at a fixed time 1 to 2 hours after levodopa administration. The measurement point 4 hours after administration can be measured at a fixed time between 4 and 8 hours after levodopa administration.

In the above-mentioned trials, the target patients, duration of administration, drug dosage, evaluation methods, and other protocols can be modified as appropriate. (These experiments can be appropriately conducted by those skilled in the art, referring to J Clin Invest (2014) 124 (3) 1340-1349 and Mov Disord. (2017) 32(2):235-240., etc.) In this disclosure, the tandospirone transdermal formulation can be used in combination with a Parkinson's disease treatment agent such as a levodopa-containing formulation to treat Parkinson's disease. In this disclosure, a more favorable effect can be expected when the levodopa-containing formulation is administered 6 hours or more, preferably 8 hours or more, and more preferably 12 hours or more, after the application of the tandospirone transdermal formulation. Furthermore, by repeatedly administering the tandospirone transdermal formulation by replacing it at predetermined intervals, a stable therapeutic effect can be obtained regardless of the timing of administration of the levodopa-containing formulation.
[0099] The manufacturing method for the transdermal formulations described herein is described below, but this disclosure is not limited to these methods.
[0100] The transdermal formulations of this disclosure can be manufactured by generally known methods. The transdermal formulations of this disclosure can be manufactured, for example, by Manufacturing Example 1 below.
[0101] (Manufacturing Example 1) This document describes the general manufacturing method for adhesive tapes. The tape (patch) formulation described herein can be manufactured by conventional methods. For example, it can be manufactured according to the section on the manufacture of plaster formulations described in "Manual for the Development of Transdermal Formulations," supervised by Mitsuo Matsumoto (1985). Alternatively, it can be manufactured using the apparatus and methods described in, for example, "Development of a Manufacturing Apparatus for Transdermal Therapy Systems (Membrane, 32(2), 116-119 (2007))."
[0102] Specifically, in the manufacture of the tape material of this disclosure, the conventional method for manufacturing adhesive tapes can be applied to form the adhesive layer. A typical example is the solvent coating method, but other methods such as the hot melt coating method and the electron beam curing emulsion coating method can also be used.
[0103] To form the adhesive layer using a solvent coating method, for example, a mixture containing tandospirone and an adhesive, and formulation components such as a permeation accelerator and a curing agent, are mixed with an organic solvent to prepare an adhesive layer mixture. This mixture is then applied to one side of a support or release liner, dried to remove the organic solvent, and the release liner or support is bonded together either before or after drying. The thickness of the adhesive layer of the tape is not particularly limited, but is approximately 10 μm to approximately 600 μm. Preferably, it is approximately 10 μm to approximately 400 μm, more preferably approximately 20 μm to approximately 200 μm, even more preferably approximately 50 μm to approximately 180 μm, and particularly preferably approximately 70 μm to approximately 150 μm.
[0104] (Manufacturing example 2) Preparation of other parenteral formulations
[0105] Ointments can be manufactured by generally known methods. To prepare oily ointments, an oily base such as oils, waxes, or hydrocarbons like paraffin is typically heated and melted, an active ingredient is added, mixed and dissolved or dispersed, and then mixed and kneaded until the mixture is homogeneous. To prepare water-soluble ointments, a water-soluble base such as macrogol is typically heated and melted, an active ingredient is added, and then mixed and kneaded until the mixture is homogeneous.
[0106] For example, tandospirone can be manufactured by compounding it with higher alcohols such as cetanol and stearyl alcohol, higher fatty acids or their esters such as myristic acid, lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid, waxes such as refined lanolin and whale wax, surfactants such as sorbitan fatty acid esters and sucrose fatty acid esters, hydrophilic petrolatum, liquid paraffin, and hydrocarbons such as Plastibase. A formulation of this ointment may be, for example, 0.5-10% by weight of tandospirone, 0.1-5% of higher alcohols, 1-15% by weight of higher fatty acids or their esters, 1-10% by weight of surfactants, 4-10% by weight of waxes, and 50-80% by weight of hydrocarbons. As for the manufacturing method, for example, tandospirone and the above-mentioned additive components are added, mixed under heating, maintained at 50-100°C, and after all components have become a clear solvent, uniformly mixed with a homomixer. Then, the ointment can be obtained by stirring while cooling and letting it cool.
[0107] Injectable preparations for subcutaneous, intradermal, and intramuscular administration can be manufactured by commonly known methods. Typically, they can be manufactured by the following methods: (i) The active ingredient, either as is or with add...
