[0001] This application claims priority to two prior applications: Patent application No. 202311691841.7, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 10, 2023, entitled “A sustained-release pharmaceutical composition of brivaracetam, its preparation method and use thereof”; and Patent application No. 202411783409.5, filed with the State Intellectual Property Office of China on December 5, 2024, entitled “A sustained-release pharmaceutical composition of brivaracetam, its preparation method and use thereof”. The entire contents of the prior applications are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] The present invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical compositions and relates to a brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art
[0003] Epilepsy is a chronic brain disease characterized by transient brain dysfunction caused by highly synchronized neuronal discharges, commonly known as "epilepsy" or "seizures." Epilepsy has become the second most common neurological disorder in China. According to the latest epidemiological data from China, there are approximately 9 million epilepsy patients in my country, of which 5-6 million have active epilepsy, and approximately 400,000 new cases are diagnosed each year (https: / / www.caae.org.cn / news / show / id / 294). Epileptic seizures can disrupt patients' daily lives and manifest primarily as motor, sensory, autonomic, and cognitive impairments, including memory loss, decreased attention span, and intellectual decline, as well as mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Long-term, frequent seizures can severely impact patients' physical and mental well-being and can also lead to accidental injury. Since the development of phenobarbital, the first drug for treating epilepsy, in 1912, anti-epileptic drugs have developed rapidly. Currently, anti-epileptic drugs can be divided into three generations: ① Traditional anti-epileptic drugs, including phenytoin, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate; ② Modern anti-epileptic drugs, including oxcarbazepine, levetiracetam, and gabapentin; and ③ New anti-epileptic drugs, including brivaracetam, carabosalt, retigabine, and perampanel. Commonly used clinical treatments include phenytoin, phenobarbital, primidone, carbamazepine, and sodium valproate.
[0004] Brivaracetam is an anti-epileptic drug developed by UCB, suitable for the treatment of partial-onset epilepsy. The chemical name of brivaracetam (also known as brivaracetam) is (2S)-2-[(4R)-2-oxo-4-propyltetrahydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]butanamide, and its molecular formula is C 11 H 20 N2O2, its structural formula is:
[0005] Brivaracetam exhibits selectivity and high affinity for synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in the brain. SV2A is a transmembrane glycoprotein found at the presynaptic level in neurons and endocrine cells. Although the exact role of this protein remains to be elucidated, it has been shown to regulate neurotransmitter exocytosis. Binding to SV2A is believed to be the primary mechanism of brivaracetam's anticonvulsant activity. The launch of brivaracetam represents a new addition to the adjunctive treatment of partial-onset epilepsy, particularly for patients whose seizures have not been adequately controlled with one or more other adjunctive therapies.
[0006] The currently available brivaracetam dosage forms are ordinary oral tablets, oral solutions, and injections. The oral dosage form requires frequent administration, with large fluctuations in blood drug concentrations and greater adverse reactions; the injection dosage form is cumbersome to use and has poor compliance.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a sustained-release tablet to achieve the purpose of reducing the drug release rate, controlling the effective dose of the drug in the body, and reducing the number of daily administrations. Summary of the Invention

[0084] The brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet of the present invention is particularly suitable for treating partial epileptic seizures in patients over 16 years old.
[0085] The present invention also provides the use of the brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a pharmaceutical preparation. The pharmaceutical preparation can be a conventional oral preparation, the dosage form of which includes an oral tablet. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical preparation is the brivaracetam sustained-release tablet.
[0086] The present invention also provides a method for treating a disease in a patient responsive to brivaracetam, comprising orally administering the above-mentioned brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet to the patient once a day.
[0087] The present invention also provides a method for preventing and / or treating a condition or disease, comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of the above-mentioned brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet to a patient; for example, allowing the patient to orally administer the above-mentioned brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet once a day;
[0088] Preferably, the disorder or disease is as defined above.
[0089] The brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet described herein is stable and suitable for once-daily oral administration. When administered as a solid dosage form, the sustained-release pharmaceutical composition retains brivaracetam in the stomach longer than an immediate-release formulation. While retained in the stomach, the sustained-release pharmaceutical composition continuously releases brivaracetam. When the sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet is ingested as a whole and enters the patient's stomach, it rapidly floats in the gastric fluid and slowly expands or swells. The formulation expands to a certain size, preventing it from leaving the stomach through the pylorus. The diameter of the pylorus in adults is approximately 12 mm, so the size of the expanded formulation is no less than, and preferably greater than, 12 mm. The sustained-release brivaracetam tablet can have any shape, such as round, oval, irregular, polygonal, etc.
[0090] The brivaracetam sustained-release tablet of the present invention has a minimum size of not less than 12 mm after expansion, and can even expand to more than 13 mm. It will not be discharged from the pylorus of the stomach and is continuously released in the stomach to achieve a therapeutic effect.
[0091] The brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet of the present invention can be expanded to any diameter of 12 mm to 35 mm, preferably 13 mm to 32 mm, and more preferably 13 mm to 29 mm.
[0092] For example, the size of the brivaracetam sustained-release pharmaceutical composition or brivaracetam sustained-release tablet after expansion is 28.4×15×11.6 mm. 3 、31.6×16.4×12.1mm 3 , 28×14×12mm 3 、28.0×14.1×12.2mm 3 、30.5×15.5×14.4mm 3 、29.2×15.2×14.5mm 3 、29.5×15.1×13.7mm 3 or 29.4×15.0×13.7mm 3 .
[0093] Definitions and Explanations of Terms
[0094] In the present invention, the term "pharmaceutically acceptable" means that the salts, complexes, solvates and hydrates of the drug (e.g., brivaracetam) are suitable for contact with the patient's tissues without undue toxicity, irritation, allergic reaction, etc. within the scope of normal medical judgment, have a reasonable benefit-risk ratio, and can be effectively used for its intended use.
[0095] The term "solvate" refers to a molecular complex comprising a drug (e.g., brivaracetam) and a stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amount of one or more pharmaceutically acceptable solvent molecules (e.g., ethanol). When the solvent is tightly bound to the drug, the resulting complex has a well-defined stoichiometry that is independent of humidity. However, when the solvent is weakly bound (as in channel solvates and hygroscopic compounds), the solvent content depends on humidity and drying conditions; in this case, the complex is generally non-stoichiometric.
[0096] The term "hydrate" refers to a solvate comprising a drug (eg, brivaracetam) and stoichiometric or non-stoichiometric amounts of water.
[0097] In the present invention, the polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) is a homopolymer of vinyl acetate with a molecular weight of M w Typically about 1×10 5 to about 1×10 6 .
[0098] KSR can be produced by BSAF, and its trade name is Nominally an 80 / 20 (w / w) mixture of PVAc and PVP.
[0099] In the present invention, the polyethylene oxide (PEO) is also called polyethylene oxide (polyoxirane) and polyethylene oxide (polyoxyethylene). Polyethylene oxide is a homopolymer of ethylene oxide, and its molecular weight M w Typically about 1×10 5 to about 1×10 7 or about 1×10 6 to about 1×10 7 Polyethylene oxide is available in various grades depending on molecular weight and is manufactured by UnionCarbide under the trade name
[0100] The term "plurality" refers to two or more, for example, two, three or four.
[0101] The term "more than one kind" refers to three or more kinds, for example, three, four or five kinds.
[0102] The term "therapeutically effective amount" refers to an amount of the active ingredient of the present invention sufficient to achieve the intended application (including but not limited to the treatment of diseases as defined below). The therapeutically effective amount may vary depending on the following factors: the intended application (in vitro or in vivo), or the subject and disease condition being treated, such as the weight and age of the subject, the severity of the disease condition, and the mode of administration, which can be easily determined by one of ordinary skill in the art. The specific dosage will vary depending on the following factors: the specific active ingredient selected, the dosage regimen relied upon, whether to be administered in combination with other compounds, the time schedule for administration, the tissue to be administered, and the physical delivery system carried.
[0103] The term "patient" refers to any animal including mammals, preferably mice, rats, other rodents, rabbits, dogs, cats, pigs, cows, sheep, horses or primates, and most preferably humans.
[0104] The term "matrix forming agent" includes matrix materials, disintegrants and binders.
[0105] Without violating the common sense in the art, the above-mentioned preferred conditions can be arbitrarily combined to obtain preferred embodiments of the present invention.
[0106] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0139] The prescriptions of Examples 8 to 10 are shown in Table 5.
[0140] Table 5
[0141] Test Example 2
[0142] (1) The dissolution curves and swelling sizes of the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets obtained in Examples 7 to 10 were tested, and the comparative study results were as follows:
[0143] Dissolution test method: 900 mL of pH 4.5 acetate buffer, according to the second method of 0931 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), 50 rpm, 37±0.5°C; the dissolution results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 2.
[0144] Table 6
[0145] The swelled sizes of the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets obtained in Examples 7 to 10 were measured after 24 hours, and the comparative study results are shown in Table 7:
[0146] Table 7
[0147] The 50 mg to 200 mg brivaracetam sustained-release tablets prepared in Examples 7 to 10 all had good sustained-release effects. After the gastric retention tablets expanded for 24 hours, the length, width, and thickness of the tablets all reached the size of the pyloric sphincter of the human stomach, demonstrating that the 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 200 mg brivaracetam sustained-release tablets obtained in the present invention had good gastric retention effects and good sustained-release effects. In addition, the dissolution behavior of the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets of different specifications of the present invention was basically consistent, and the sustained-release rate was steady.
[0148] (II) According to the dissolution and release rate determination method, the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 General Chapter 0931 Method 7 was determined, and the dissolution conditions were: the dissolution medium was pH 1.2 hydrochloric acid solution and pH 4.5 acetate buffer, the immersion speed was 20 DPM, the screen was 20 mesh polypropylene material, and the instillation time was 15 seconds. The release of the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets in the stomach of the present invention was further evaluated by the reciprocating cylinder dissolution method. This dissolution method can simulate the release rate of the tablets in the stomach under the conditions of gastric food or gastric peristalsis. The dissolution method using the reciprocating cylinder method is shown in Table 8:
[0149] Table 8
[0150] The release rates of brivaracetam sustained-release tablets under different specifications are shown in Table 9 and Figure 3:
[0151] Table 9
[0152] The results of studies simulating gastric motility and food factors in vivo show that the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets of the present invention can achieve a good sustained-release effect in the stomach, maintain stable blood drug concentration, and achieve a sustained effect, thereby achieving the effect of treating diseases.
[0153] Test Example 3: In vivo PK study in Beagle dogs
[0154] Three Beagle dogs (two male and one female) were used in this study. The test group received the tablets described in Example 6 at a dose of 100 mg / dog / day. The original control group (i.e., brivaracetam tablets) received a dose of 100 mg / dog / day. The test group received a single dose, while the original control group received one tablet every 8 hours for a total of two doses. Blood samples were collected from the test animals before administration (one day before administration), and at 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, 6h, 8h, 12h, 16h, and 24h after administration; blood samples were collected from the original control group before administration (one day before administration), and at 0.25h, 0.5h, 0.75h, 1h, 1.25h, 1.5h, 2h, 3h, 5h, 8h (second administration after collection), 8.25h, 8.5h, 8.75h, 9h, 9.25h, 9.5h, 10h, 11h, 13h, and 16h after the first administration. The blood drug concentration results are shown in Table 10:
[0155] Table 10
[0156] The results showed that the half-life of the test sample group (brivaracetam sustained-release tablets of Example 6) was prolonged, and the maximum blood concentration was lower than that of the original control group (brivaracetam tablets), indicating a good sustained-release effect. The blood concentration curves of the original control group and the test sample group are shown in Figure 4.
[0157] Test Example 4 In vivo PK study in healthy subjects
[0158] A PK study was conducted in healthy subjects on the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets of Example 7 of the present invention. The original product (50 mg brivaracetam tablets) and the test product (100 mg brivaracetam sustained-release tablets) were selected as the study drugs. The test product group selected the tablets in Example 7 at a dose of 100 mg / day, and the original control group (i.e., brivaracetam tablets) was administered at a dose of 100 mg / day. The test product group was administered a single dose, and the original control group was administered one tablet every 12 hours for a total of two doses. Periodic blood sampling was performed for the original control group and the test product group to detect blood drug concentrations. The blood drug concentration results are shown in Table 11:
[0159] Table 11
[0160] The results showed that the C max The geometric mean ratios of AUC and AUC were both within the range of 80% to 125%, indicating that the therapeutic efficacy of one brivaracetam extended-release tablet was equivalent to that of two brivaracetam tablets. The slower release rate of brivaracetam extended-release tablets results in more consistent blood concentrations, achieving therapeutic efficacy while reducing adverse reactions, resulting in better patient efficacy, compliance, and safety. The blood concentration curves for the control and test groups are shown in Figure 5.
[0161] Test Example 5 Stability Test of Example 7
[0162] The tablet product obtained in Example 7 was placed under accelerated conditions (40°C ± 2°C, 75% ± 5% RH) for a stability test of up to 6 months. The relevant substances, isomers, content and dissolution rate were tested (dissolution test using the reciprocating cylinder method in Test Example 2). The results are shown in Table 12:
[0163] Table 12
[0164] The above stability test results show that the brivaracetam sustained-release tablets of the present invention did not show significant changes in related substances, isomers, content and dissolution during the stability period, and the product stability is excellent.
[0165] Comparison of Test Example 6 Example 7 with Tablets A and E in the Prior Art CN113908153A
[0166] Tablets A and E in Example 7 and CN113908153A were stored at 60°C. Samples were taken on the 10th and 30th days to test the contents of related substances. The results are shown in Table 13.
[0167] Table 13 Comparative data of relevant substances
[0168] Example 7: Tablets A and E were tested for dissolution curves and swelling size after 24 hours. The comparative study results are shown in Tables 14 and 15.
[0169] Dissolution test method: 900 mL of pH 4.5 acetate buffer, according to the second method of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition) 0931, 50 rpm, 37±0.5℃.
[0170] Table 14 Comparative data of tablet expansion size
[0171] Table 15 Dissolution rate comparison data
[0172] Through the above comparison, the tablets obtained in Example 7 of the present invention have low impurity content and good stability, while Tablets A and E of CN113908153A have high impurity content and poor stability. The tablets of Example 7 of the present invention have an expanded size that meets the requirements, while Tablet E of CN113908153A is smaller in size, which is not conducive to the retention of the tablets in the stomach. The tablets of Example 7 of the present invention have a slow dissolution rate and a better sustained-release effect. Overall evaluation shows that Example 7 of the present invention has comprehensive advantages in product stability, tablet expansion size, and sustained-release effect.
[0173] The above describes the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
