Description

Technology Field

[0001] In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method and a composition for treating drug overdose and / or abnormal blood pH. Background Technology

[0002] Xylazine is an α2 adrenergic receptor agonist and a non-opioid veterinary tranquilizer not approved for human use. This is associated with an increased number of overdose deaths in drug intoxication and overdose crises. People exposed to xylazine often use it intentionally or unintentionally in combination with other drugs, such as fentanyl.

[0003] Xylazine is often added to illicit opioids, such as fentanyl, to increase euphoria. Xylazine is a central nervous system depressant that can cause drowsiness, amnesia, and a decrease in respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure. Taking opioids combined with xylazine and other central nervous system depressants increases the risk of life-threatening overdose.

[0004] Repeated use of xylazine is associated with skin ulcers, abscesses, and related complications, and the drug may be abused by injection, nasal inhalation, swallowing, or inhalation.

[0212] In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of a compound selected from formula (I) disclosed herein for treating drug overdose and / or abnormal blood pH.

[0213] In certain embodiments, the active agent(s) in the pharmaceutical composition are freeze-dried.

[0214] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is pre-mixed (e.g., the active agent is pre-mixed with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients and optionally one or more additional active agents).

[0215] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition may be contained in a glass container or a plastic container.

[0216] In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition further comprises one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may vary depending on the final form of the composition and the route of administration.

[0217] Routes of administration of any composition of the present invention include inhalation, oral, nasal, rectal, parenteral, sublingual, transdermal, transmucosal (e.g., sublingual, tongue, buccal (trans-), urethral (trans-), vaginal (e.g., trans-vaginal and perivaginal), nasal (intra) and rectal (trans-)), intravesical, intrapulmonary, duodenal, gastric, spinal, subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intra-arterial, intravenous, intrabronchial, inhalation, intraperitoneal, intrathoracic, intrapleural, and local administration.

[0218] Suitable compositions and forms of administration include, for example, tablets, capsules, coated tablets, pills, gel caps, troches, dispersions, suspensions, solutions, syrups, granules, beads, transdermal patches, gels, powders, pellets, magmas, lozenges, creams, pastes, plasters, lotions, discs, suppositories, liquid sprays for nasal or oral administration, dry powders or aerosolized formulations for inhalation, compositions and formulations for intravesical administration, etc. It should be understood that the formulations and compositions useful for the present invention are not limited to the specific formulations and compositions described herein.

[0219] In certain embodiments, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients comprise pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as liquid or solid fillers, stabilizers, dispersants, suspending agents, diluents, thickeners, solvents, or encapsulating materials, which are involved in carrying or transporting a compound useful in the present invention into or to a subject so as to perform its intended function. Typically, such formulations may be carried or transported from one organ or body part to another organ or body part. Each carrier must be "acceptable" in that it is compatible with other components of a formulation containing a compound useful in the present invention and is not harmful to the subject. Some examples of materials that may serve as pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include sugars, such as lactose, glucose, and sucrose; starches, such as corn starch and potato starch; cellulose and derivatives thereof, such as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate; powdered tragacanths; malt; gelatin; talc; Excipients, e.g., cocoa butter and suppository waxes; oils, e.g., peanut oil, cottonseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, olive oil, corn oil and soybean oil; glycols, e.g., propylene glycol; polyols, e.g., glycerin, sorbitol, mannitol and polyethylene glycol; esters, e.g., ethyl oleate and ethyl laurate; agar; buffers, e.g., magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide; surfactants; alginic acid; pyrogen-free substances; isotonic saline; Ringer's solution; ethyl alcohol; phosphate buffer; and other non-toxic, compatible substances used in pharmaceutical formulations. As used herein, "pharmaceuticalally acceptable carriers" also include any and all coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, and absorption retardants, and others that are physiologically acceptable to the subject and are compatible with the activity of compounds useful within the present invention. Supplemental active compounds may also be incorporated into the composition.The “pharmaceuticalally acceptable carrier” may further comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of a compound useful within the present invention. Other additional components that may be used in the pharmaceutical composition used in the practice of the present invention are known in the art and are described, for example, in the literature incorporated herein by reference [Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (Genaro, Ed., Mack Publishing Co., 1985, Easton, Pa.)].

[0220] Useful pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include, but are not limited to, glycerol, water, saline solution, ethanol, and other pharmaceutically acceptable salt solutions, such as salts of phosphates and organic acids. Examples of these and other pharmaceutically acceptable carriers are described in the literature [Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences (1991, Mack Publication Co., New Jersey)].

[0221] The carrier may be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyols (e.g., glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycol, and others), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oil. Suitable fluidity may be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by maintaining the particle size required in the case of dispersion, and by the use of a surfactant. Prevention of microbial action may be achieved by various antiviral and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, ascorbic acid, thimerosal, and others. In many cases, it will be desirable to include an isotonic agent, for example, sugar, sodium chloride, or a polyalcohol, such as mannitol and sorbitol, in the composition. Long-term absorption of the injectable composition may occur by including a substance that delays absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate or gelatin, in the composition. In one embodiment, the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is not DMSO alone.

[0222] Pharmaceutical preparations are sterilized and, if desired, may be mixed with adjuvants, e.g., lubricants, preservatives, stabilizers, wetting agents, emulsifiers, salts to affect osmotic pressure buffers, coloring agents, flavoring agents and / or aromatic substances and others.

[0223] Examples of useful preservatives according to the present invention include, but are not limited to, those selected from the group consisting of benzyl alcohol, sorbic acid, parabens, imidourea, and combinations thereof.

[0224] The composition preferably comprises an antioxidant and a chelating agent that inhibit the degradation of the compound. Antioxidants preferred for some compounds are BHT, BHA, alpha-tocopherol, and ascorbic acid in a preferred range of about 0.01% to 0.3% based on the total weight of the composition, and more preferably BHT in a range of 0.03% to 0.1% by weight. Preferably, the chelating agent is present in an amount of 0.01% to 0.5% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Particularly preferred chelating agents include edetate salts (e.g., disodium edetate) and citric acid in a range of about 0.01% to 0.20% by weight based on the total weight of the composition, and more preferably in a range of 0.02% to 0.10% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Chelating agents are useful for chelating metal ions in the composition that may be detrimental to the shelf life of the formulation. Although BHT and disodium edetate are particularly desirable antioxidants and chelating agents, respectively, for some compounds, other suitable and equivalent antioxidants and chelating agents may be substituted for them as known to those skilled in the art.

[0225] A liquid suspension may be prepared using conventional methods to achieve suspension of an active ingredient in an aqueous or oily vehicle. An aqueous vehicle comprises, for example, water and isotonic saline solution. An oily vehicle comprises, for example, almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol, vegetable oils such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, fractionated vegetable oils, and mineral oils such as liquid paraffin. The liquid suspension may further comprise one or more additional components, as non-limiting examples, including a suspending agent, a dispersant or wetting agent, an emulsifier, a lubricant, a preservative, a buffer, a salt, a flavoring agent, a coloring agent, and a sweetener. An oily suspension may further comprise a thickening agent. Known suspending agents include, but are not limited to, sorbitol syrup, hydrogenated edible fats, sodium alginate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, tragacanth gum, acacia gum, and cellulose derivatives, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose. Known dispersing agents or wetting agents include, but are not limited to, naturally occurring phosphatides, such as lecithin, alkylene oxides, and condensation products with fatty acids, long-chain aliphatic alcohols, partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol, or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides (e.g., polyoxyethylene stearate, heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, respectively). Known emulsifiers include, but are not limited to, lecithin and acacia. Known preservatives include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, or n-propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, ascorbic acid, and sorbic acid. Known sweeteners include, for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, sucrose, and saccharin. Known thickeners for oily suspensions include, for example, beeswax, hard paraffin, and cetyl alcohol.

[0226] A liquid solution of an active ingredient in an aqueous or oily solvent can be prepared in substantially the same manner as a liquid suspension, the main difference being that the active ingredient is dissolved rather than suspended in the solvent. As used herein, the "oil" liquid contains carbon-containing liquid molecules and exhibits properties that are less polar than water. A liquid solution of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may contain each of the components described in relation to the liquid suspension, and it is understood that the suspending agent does not necessarily aid in the dissolution of the active ingredient in the solvent. Aqueous solvents include, for example, water and isotonic saline solution. Oily solvents include, for example, almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol, vegetable oils such as peanut oil, olive oil, sesame oil, or coconut oil, fractionated vegetable oils, and mineral oils such as liquid paraffin.

[0227] The powdered and granular formulations of the pharmaceutical preparations of the present invention may be prepared using known methods. These formulations are administered directly to a subject and may be used to form, for example, tablets or fill capsules, or to prepare aqueous or oily suspensions or solutions by adding an aqueous or oily vehicle to them. Each of these formulations may further comprise one or more of a dispersant or wetting agent, a suspending agent, and a preservative. Additional excipients, such as fillers and sweeteners, flavoring agents, or coloring agents, may also be included in these formulations.

[0228] The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention may also be manufactured, packaged, or sold in the form of an oil-in-water emulsion or an oil-in-water emulsion. The oil phase may be a vegetable oil, such as olive oil or peanut oil, a mineral oil, such as liquid paraffin, or a combination thereof. Such compositions may further comprise one or more emulsifiers, such as a naturally occurring gum, such as acacia gum or tragacanth gum; a naturally occurring phosphatide, such as soybean or lecithin phosphatide; an ester or partial ester derived from a combination of a fatty acid and hexitol anhydride, such as sorbitan monooleate; and a condensation product of such partial ester and ethylene oxide, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsion may also contain additional ingredients, such as sweeteners or flavoring agents.

[0229] In certain embodiments, one or more additional excipients comprise a pH adjuster that may be selected from sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sodium citrate, sodium acetate, magnesium hydroxide, citric acid, hydrochloric acid, or a mixture thereof.

[0230] In certain embodiments, the composition may include one or more additional excipients, e.g., without limitation, carbohydrates, antioxidants, chelating agents, low molecular weight proteins, high molecular weight polymers, gel-forming agents, stabilizers, additives, wetting agents, emulsifiers, surfactants and / or dispersants, alkalizing agents, coloring agents, synthetic dies, fillers, diluents, mineral oxides, preservatives, or mixtures thereof.

[0231] In certain embodiments, the composition further comprises an antioxidant. In certain embodiments, the antioxidant may include, for example, a phosphite, a phenolic antioxidant, a hydroxylamine, a lactone, or a trivalent phosphorus such as substituted benzofuranone. Hindered phenols, thiosynergists, and / or hindered amines are useful for the long-term stability of polymers, but acids (ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, etidronic acid, gallic acid, hypophosphorous acid, nordihydroguayretic acid, propionic acid, etc.), phenols (e.g., BHA, BHT, t-butyl hydroquinone, dodecyl gallate, octyl gallate, 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene), organic and inorganic salts (calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, sodium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, sodium sulfite, potassium bisulfite, potassium metabisulfite), esters (calcium ascorbate, dilauryl thiodipropionate, dimyristyl thiodipropionate, distearyl thiodipropionate), pyranones (maltol), and vitamin E (tocopherol, Antioxidants of D-α-tocopherol, DL-α-tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, d-α-tocopheryl acetate, and dl-α-tocopheryl acetate are suitable for use even when the active substance is treated by oxidation. However, according to the present invention, other antioxidants known in the art may be used.

[0243] In certain embodiments, suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients may include preservatives. As used herein, the term “preservative” refers to a agent that extends the shelf life of a formulation by delaying or preventing the deterioration of flavor, odor, color, texture, appearance, therapeutic value, or safety. Preservatives do not need to provide a lethal and irreversible action that results in partial or complete destruction or inactivation of microbial cells. Sterilizers, disinfectants, fungicides, sprayers, viracides, and tuberculocidal agents provide this irreversible mode of action, which is sometimes referred to as “bactericidal” action. On the other hand, preservatives may provide a reversible inhibitory or bacteriostatic action in that growth may resume once the target microorganism is eliminated. The main difference between preservatives and fungicides lies primarily in the mode of action (preservatives prevent growth rather than kill microorganisms) and the duration of exposure (preservatives take days to months to act, whereas fungicides take up to a few minutes to act). Suitable preservatives include, without limitation, phenoxyethanol, paraben solutions, pentanediol and sorbic acid, as well as silver complexes.

[0281] Manufacturing method

[0282] In certain embodiments, the present disclosure relates to a method for preparing any of the compositions described herein. In certain embodiments, the method comprises combining a therapeutically effective amount of a compound disclosed herein with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.

[0283] The various compositions described herein may be formulated to have customized release profiles for the active agent, e.g., without limitation, immediate release profile, controlled release profile, delayed release profile, intestinal release profile, zero-order release profile, primary release profile, pulsed release profile, targeted release profile at a specific location in the body (e.g., a target location in the gastrointestinal tract), and others.

[0284] Examples

[0285] Three SD rats (approx. 300 gm) received IV bolus administration of Challenge (3 mg / kg xylazine and 20 μg / kg fentanyl) and Rescue (3 mg / kg). PCO2, PO2, and blood pH were measured at 5, 10, and 15 minutes after Rescue, and the data are shown in Figures 1 to 3. The data show arterial and venous blood values.

[0286] The sham group was not rescued. After further observation, the rat did not fully recover. This suggests that the time the blood pH remained low even after xylazine / fentanyl was removed from the system had a harmful effect on the subject. Therefore, in addition to saving lives from overdose, the present invention can have a positive long-term effect on the patient.

[0287] For the sake of simplification of description, embodiments of the method of the present disclosure are illustrated and described as a series of actions. However, actions according to the present disclosure may occur in various order and / or simultaneously, and may occur with other actions not presented or described herein. Furthermore, not all illustrated actions may be required to implement the method according to the subject matter disclosed. Additionally, those skilled in the art will understand and recognize that the method may alternatively be represented as a series of interrelated states through state diagrams or events.

[0288] In the foregoing description, numerous specific details, such as specific materials, dimensions, process parameters, etc., are presented to provide a thorough understanding of the invention. In one or more embodiments, specific characteristics, structures, materials, or features may be combined in any suitable manner. The words “e.g.” or “exemplary” are used herein to mean that they serve as examples, cases, or examples. Any embodiment or design described herein as “e.g.” or “exemplary” is not to be interpreted as being more desirable or advantageous than other embodiments or designs.

As such, the appearance of phrases such as “one embodiment,” “a specific embodiment,” or “one embodiment” at various locations throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0289] The present invention is described in connection with specific exemplary embodiments thereof. The specification and drawings are therefore to be understood as exemplary rather than restrictive. Various variations of the invention, other than those depicted and described herein, will become apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to fall within the scope of the appended claims.
