[0001] AMORPHOUS PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS OF OLAPARIB
[0002] RELATED APPLICATION
[0003] This application claims the benefit of Indian Patent Application No. 202421040895 filed on May 27, 2024 which is hereby incorporated for reference.
[0004] FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present invention relates to an amorphous spray dried dispersion of Olaparib through spray dried powder of an Eudragit® E PO. More specifically, the present invention further relates to a stable oral pharmaceutical composition comprises a spray dried dispersion of Olaparib, wherein the spray dried dispersion comprises neutralized Eudragit® E PO, that enhanced solubility. The invention also related to the method of preparation thereof. The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present invention provides uniform drug release under all of the various pH conditions.
[0006] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0007] Olaparib is a FDA-approved targeted therapy for cancer. It is a PARP inhibitor, inhibiting poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP), an enzyme involved in DNA repair. It acts against cancers in people with hereditary BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, which include ovarian, breast, and prostate cancers. It is marketed in the form of capsules and tablet under the trade names Lynparza® and is chemically known as 4-3-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-l-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl- 2H-phthalazin-l-one and has the following chemical structure of Formula (I),
[0008] Olaparib is a crystalline solid, is non-chiral and essentially neutral across the physiological pH range. It belongs to class 4 within the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) because of its poor solubility and moderate permeability. Due to low solubility in water, it has a low dissolution rate and as a result exhibits poor bioavailability. In 2017, the US FDA approved Lynparza (Olaparib) tablets as indicated for the maintenance treatment of adult patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, who are in a complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy.
[0009] Lynparza® is formulated as film coating tablet and are available in two dosage strength containing Olaparib lOOmg and 150mg.
[0010] Polymorphic form A, which is used in the Lynparza preparation, was characterized in patent application W02008047082. Patent application W02009050469 then described crystalline form L.
[0011] U.S. Pat. No. 8,475,842 discloses pharmaceutical formulation comprising 4-3-(4- cyclopropane carbonyl piperazine- l-carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl-2H-phthalazin-l- one in a solid dispersion with a matrix polymer that exhibits low hygroscopicity and high softening temperature, i.e., higher than 100°C, prepared by hot-melt extrusion method, to improve its bioavailability. In addition, the invention of U.S. Patent No. 8,475,842 relates to the use of copovidone in a solid dispersion composition with 4-3-(4- cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-l-carbonyl)-4-fluoro benzyl-2H- phthalazin-l-one. The method of producing the solid dispersion involves mixing of Olaparib with copovidone, raising the temperature of the mixture to produce a melt and extrusion of the melt to produce a solid dispersion.
[0012] W02010041051 describes various approaches to increase solubility and bioavailability of Olaparib, a poorly water-soluble PARP inhibitor. The prior art evaluates multiple polymers and concludes that forming an amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) of Olaparib using polymers with low hygroscopicity and a high glass transition temperature (Tg) or melting point (Tm) — typically above 100°C — could be advantageous for maintaining physical stability and improving bioavailability. The evaluation data shows that Eudragit E100 solid dispersions prepared at 50% w / w drug loading showed the presence of crystalline drug immediately after preparation, which persisted after one month of storage under accelerated conditions (30°C / 60% RH), indicating inadequate stabilization of the amorphous form. In addition, the prior art relates to the use of copovidone in a solid dispersion composition with 4-[3-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine-l- carbonyl)-4-fhioro-benzyl]-2H-phthalazin-l-one for increasing the bioavailability and / or stability of the 4-[3-(4-cyclopropanecarbonyl-piperazine- 1 -carbonyl)-4-fluoro-benzyl] -2H- phthalazin- 1 -one. The author of this prior art after performing various test concluded that the solid dispersions of Compound 1 and copovidone may be particularly stable and homogeneous.
[0013] Literature reports indicate that dispersions produced with Eudragit E may exhibit significant crystallinity (e.g. see Qi et al. Int. J. Pharm. 354:158-167, 2008); and, in a comparative study, may be less chemically stable than solid dispersions produced using Povidone K25 (Dargel, E., Mielck, J.B. Acta Pharm. Technol. 35(4): 197-209. 1989).
[0014] Chinese Publication No. 104434809 discloses oral formulation of Olaparib containing solid dispersion of Olaparib in povidone, prepared by hot-melt extrusion method and solvent evaporation method. However, the describe prior art process result in composition with Olaparib shows hot-melt extrusion method, which is tedious and expensive.
[0015] EP3263095, discloses the solid dispersion of Olaparib using hydrophilic polymer preparation of 40-100 °C with glass transition temperature, and the ratio of Olaparib to polymers is in the range of 1:0.5 to 1:5, preferably in the range of 1: 1 to 1:3, specifically the Soluplus and Eudragit series of polymers with low glass transition temperature are disclosed in this invention. In many of its examples (Olaparib: Eudragit El 00 and Olaparib: Eudragit E PO in ratio 1: 1 and 1:3, respectively), after being placed at 40° C and 75% RH for 10 days, an endothermic peak appeared in DSC, and the stability of the solid dispersion was poor in this invention.
[0016] A major problem with current solid dispersions of drugs is that while the dispersions may show enhanced bioavailability of the low-solubility drug if administered shortly after preparation, bioavailability typically decreases over time in a typical storage environment. Such solid dispersions are often physically unstable in that the drug present in the dispersion reverts to the crystalline form upon storage — particularly at elevated temperature and humidity. Accordingly, the dispersion cannot be used to provide proper dosing of the drug because the bioavailability of the drug changes over time.
[0017] Solubilization of a specific drug depends on its chemical structure and physical properties, therefore, whether any particular polymer will solubilize a specific drug is not necessarily predictable. It is often difficult and time-consuming to select polymers which achieve improved solubilization.
[0018] The inventors of the present invention have developed a stable amorphous form of Olaparib through the utilization of spray-dried powder of neutralized Eudragit® E PO in the preparation of an amorphous spray-dried dispersion (SDD) formulation. This approach provides a new opportunity to formulate a stable pharmaceutical composition of Olaparib with enhanced solubility. Surprisingly, the resulting composition not only improves the solubility of Olaparib but also achieves a pH-independent dissolution profile, thereby enabling consistent drug release across a wide pH range.
[0019] Given the therapeutic significance of Olaparib as an anticancer agent, there remains a need to develop novel processes and formulations that enhance its solubility and ensure its stability. The present invention addresses this need by providing a stable oral composition of Olaparib, characterized by pH-independent drug release and the ability to maintain the drug in its amorphous form.
