Abstract
Description
Fudostertan pharmaceutical compositions, their preparation methods and applications
[0001] This application claims priority to an earlier application filed on November 11, 2024, with the China National Intellectual Property Administration, patent application number 2024115967995, entitled "Fodostan Pharmaceutical Composition, Preparation Method Thereof, and Application". The entire contents of the earlier application are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0002] This invention relates to a folic acid pharmaceutical composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0003] Fudosteine is a novel respiratory mucolytic that effectively inhibits the excessive formation of goblet cells that secrete viscous mucus in the respiratory tract, thereby inhibiting the production of highly viscous fucoidin, reducing the viscosity of sputum, and making it easier to cough up. In addition, fudosteine can enhance the secretory function of serous trachea, thus inhibiting tracheal inflammation.
[0004] Fudosteine, chemically named (-)-(R)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxypropylthio)propionic acid, is a novel and potent expectorant with six effects: expectoration, expectoration, expectoration thinning, expectoration, anti-inflammation, and anti-oxidation. It was first launched in Japan in 2001 and is a cysteine derivative with a steine-based skeleton developed by Mitsubishi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and SS Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It has multiple pharmacological effects on chronic respiratory diseases: it inhibits the proliferation of respiratory epithelial cells, normalizes the trehalose / sialic acid ratio in sputum, restores the state of ciliary transport of airway secretions, and has anti-inflammatory effects; it has the advantages of strong efficacy, few side effects, wide range of indications, and great market potential; it is suitable for expectoration of chronic respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pulmonary tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis, emphysema, atypical mycobacterial infection, and diffuse bronchiolitis.
[0005] Currently marketed fodosteine-related drugs are all oral dosage forms (including oral solutions, tablets, capsules, and granules). Common adverse reactions include rash, nausea, indigestion and itching, decreased sensation, abdominal discomfort, and diarrhea, because fodosteine damages the gastric mucosal barrier. To reduce the adverse reactions of fodosteine, existing technology has improved it into a nebulized inhalation solution formulation (see Chinese Patent Publication No. CN109925300A), allowing the drug to be administered locally through the lungs, effectively avoiding damage to the gastric mucosal barrier. Due to the manufacturing process of fodosteine, trace amounts of metal ions often exist in its solution. The presence of metal ions catalyzes oxidation reactions, leading to the oxidative decomposition of fodosteine, and also causes safety risks and side effects. To address these issues, CN109925300A adds EDTA as a metal ion chelating agent (antioxidant), thereby reducing the metal ion content in the product formulation and improving its stability. However, EDTA has a certain degree of mucosal irritation, and there is a risk of inducing adverse reactions such as coughing and asthma when inhaling EDTA-containing nebulized inhalation solutions. Chinese patent documents CN117442587A and CN115068450B disclose a fudostein nebulized inhalation solution composition, which does not contain metal ion chelating agents, but has a narrow pH range requirement, strict controllability in production, and is prone to causing coughing during inhalation.
[0006] Therefore, finding a solution to reduce the content of free metal ions while simultaneously reducing the irritation and production controllability caused by metal ion chelating agents has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0276] Example 18 Active systemic anaphylaxis test administered to guinea pigs by inhalation
[0277] Thirty-six male Hartley guinea pigs were randomly divided into four groups of nine animals each. The negative control group was sensitized by inhalation of 0.9% sodium chloride injection for 30 minutes. The positive control group was sensitized by inhalation of 20 mg / mL chicken ovalbumin for 5 minutes. In Example 11, the low- and high-dose groups were sensitized by inhalation of the same drug for 10 and 30 minutes, respectively, with actual delivered doses of approximately 11 and 32 mg / kg. The challenge duration for each group was twice that of the initial sensitization. Sensitization was performed on days 1, 3, and 5. Fourteen days after the last sensitization (day 19), the first three animals in each group were challenged. Aerosol particle size distribution analysis was performed after administration on days 1, 5, and 19. The results are shown in Table 9.

[0280] Example 19 Long-term toxicity test
[0281] ●Rat toxicity test
[0282] A total of 190 SD rats (95 per sex) were used in the experiment and randomly divided into 8 groups according to body weight. Groups 1-4 were the toxicology study groups, and groups 5-8 were the toxicokinetics study groups. Groups 1 and 5 were given sodium chloride injection (0.9%) as negative controls. Groups 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8 were given the actual delivered doses of Example 11 of 17.1, 49.3, and 150.5 mg / kg, respectively, as low, medium, and high dose groups, with inhalation times of 15, 45, and 135 minutes, respectively, once daily for 4 weeks, for a total of 28 administrations, with each administration spaced 24 ± 8 hours apart. The day of the first administration was defined as D1.
[0283] During the administration of the drug from D1 to D28, aerosol samples were taken for aerosol concentration analysis. After the administration of the drug on D1, D7, D14, D21 and D28, samples were taken for aerosol particle size distribution analysis.
[0284] The actual delivered dose and aerosol particle size distribution parameters for the low, medium, and high dose groups are shown in the table below:
[0285] Table 10 Delivery dose and aerosol particle size distribution parameters
[0286] Death or near death: No animal deaths or near death related to Example 11 were observed during the administration and recovery period, in the negative control group, low, medium and high dose groups.
[0287] Toxicological indicators: During the experiment, no abnormal changes related to Example 11 were observed in the negative control group and the dose groups of Example 11 in clinical observation (including general clinical observation, detailed clinical observation and local observation after administration), body weight, food intake, ophthalmological examination, clinicopathology (blood cell count, coagulation function, blood biochemistry and urine analysis), respiratory function, etc.
[0288] Pathological examination:
[0289] No significant abnormalities were observed in the organ weight, gross examination, and microscopic examination of the euthanized animals at the end of the administration period (D29) and the end of the recovery period (D57) as related to Example 11.
[0290] During the experiment, clinical observation (including general clinical observation, detailed clinical observation, and local observation after drug administration) was performed on animals in groups 1-4. This included monitoring body weight, food intake, respiratory function, ophthalmological examination, clinicopathological examination (blood cell count, coagulation function, blood biochemistry, and urinalysis), gross anatomy, organ weighing, and histopathological examination. On days 1 and 28, blood drug concentrations and toxicokinetics were measured in all animals in groups 5-8.
[0291] Fudosteine was not detected in the plasma of animals in the solvent control group after administration on D1 and D28.
[0292] The main TK parameters of fodosteine in each group of animals after administration on D1 and D28 are shown in the table below:
[0293] Table 11 TK Parameters
[0294] Example 11 of fodosteine was administered to SD rats by inhalation at doses of 17.1, 49.3 and 150.5 mg / kg once daily for 28 consecutive days.
[0295] Following administration on days 1 and 28, the exposure (AUC) of fodosteine in female animals of each dose group was determined. last The exposure was higher in males than in females. Exposure increased with increasing dose, and the rate of increase was generally greater than the rate of increase with dose. No significant accumulation was observed overall after repeated administration.
[0296] ●Canine toxicity test
[0297] Forty Beagle dogs (20 per sex) were used in the experiment and randomly divided into four groups according to their body weight. Group 1 animals served as a negative control group, receiving inhalation of 0.9% sodium chloride injection for 120 minutes. Groups 2, 3, and 4 animals received the low, medium, and high doses described in Example 11, with inhalation times of 15, 45, and 120 minutes, respectively, delivering actual doses of 14.9 mg / kg, 44.8 mg / kg, and 122.3 mg / kg. Administered once daily for four weeks, for a total of 28 doses, with the first dose dated D1. The first three animals per sex in groups 1-4 were euthanized at the end of the treatment period (D29), and the last two animals per sex in groups were euthanized after a four-week recovery period (D57).
[0298] During the administration of the drug from D1 to D28, aerosol samples were taken for aerosol concentration analysis. After the administration of the drug on D1, D7, D14, D21 and D28, samples were taken for aerosol particle size distribution analysis.
[0299] During the trial, animals underwent clinical observation (including general clinical observation, detailed clinical observation, and local clinical observation after drug administration), and their weight, food intake, body temperature, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, ophthalmological examination, clinical pathology (blood cell count, coagulation function, blood biochemistry, and urine analysis), gross anatomy, organ weighing, and histopathological examination were performed. Blood samples were collected on days 1 and 28 for blood drug concentration testing and toxicokinetic analysis.
[0300] The actual delivered dose and aerosol particle size distribution parameters for the low, medium, and high dose groups are shown in the table below:
[0301] Table 12 Actual Delivery Dose and Aerosol Particle Size Distribution Parameters
[0302] Death / Near Death: No animals in groups 1-4 died or were near death during the experiment.
[0303] Toxicological indicators: During the experiment, no changes were observed in the food intake, body temperature, blood oxygen saturation, ophthalmological examination, electrocardiogram, blood pressure, clinicopathology (blood cell count, coagulation function, blood biochemistry and urine analysis), organ weight, gross and microscopic observations of the animals in each treatment group that were related to Example 11.
[0304] Clinical observation: During the trial, no abnormal changes related to Example 11 were observed in the low- and medium-dose groups of animals. In the high-dose group of Example 11, 2 / 10 animals experienced transient coughing on days 7 and 9. Since this occurred in the high-dose group, it was considered possibly related to Example 11. However, it was only transient, and no other abnormal symptoms were observed. Histopathological examination of the respiratory tract was also normal, and it was considered a non-clinical adverse reaction.
[0305] Body weight: During the experiment, no abnormal changes in body weight or weight gain were observed in the low- and medium-dose groups as described in Example 11. In the high-dose group, male animals showed a decrease in body weight (W4) and weight gain, while female animals showed a decrease in weight gain. Compared to the control group at the same time point, male animals (D28) showed a 7.7% decrease in body weight, while female animals showed no decrease. Statistically significant decreases were observed in W4 weight gain for both males and females, by 0.312 and 0.390 kg, respectively. Since the weight loss was less than 10% compared to the negative control group at the same time point and was recoverable during the recovery period, it was considered a non-clinical adverse reaction.
[0306] Toxicokinetics:
[0307] Following administration on days 1 and 28, fodosteine was not detected in the plasma of any animals in the negative control group. Example 11: Animal exposure at each dose group (in AUC) last The exposure rate increased with increasing dose, and the rate of increase in exposure was generally slightly greater than the rate of increase in dose; no significant sex differences were observed; no significant accumulation of fodostein was observed in animals after multiple administrations.
[0308] Table 13 TK Parameters
[0309] Under the experimental conditions, in Example 11, Beagle dogs were repeatedly administered via inhalation at delivery doses of 14.9, 44.8, and 122.3 mg / kg, once daily for 4 weeks, for a total of 28 administrations. No local irritation was observed in any of the groups. No systemic toxicity was observed in the 14.9 and 44.8 mg / kg dose groups. Transient coughing was observed in 2 / 10 of the animals in the 122.3 mg / kg dose group, and a few animals experienced weight loss (less than 10% compared to the negative control group at the same time point). No other abnormalities were observed.
[0310] Example 20 Pharmacodynamic Test
[0311] Eighteen male KM mice were used in this experiment and randomly divided into three groups: a negative control group, a low-dose group (target dose: 15 mg / kg), and a high-dose group (target dose: 30 mg / kg), with six mice per group. The negative control group (inhaled for 30 min), the low-dose group (inhaled for 15 min), and the high-dose group (inhaled for 30 min) were administered the drug via inhalation once daily for three consecutive days (D1-D3). Aerosol samples from D1-D3 were collected for aerosol concentration analysis, and aerosol particle size analysis was performed on D1. Approximately 30 min after inhalation administration on D3, all animals were intraperitoneally injected with phenol red solution (100 mg / kg). All animals were euthanized 30 min after phenol red administration, and tracheal tissue was excised and placed in centrifuge tubes containing NaHCO3 (50 mg / mL) solution. After centrifugation, the supernatant was collected. The OD value was detected at a wavelength of 546 nm using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, and the amount of phenol red excreted was calculated based on the standard curve.
[0312] In this experiment, D1 to D3 were used for aerosol concentration analysis in Example 11, and D1 samples were used for aerosol particle size analysis. The actual delivery dose and aerosol particle size parameters of Example 11 are shown in Table 14, and the results of the effect of mouse tracheal secretion on the aerosol are shown in Table 15.

[0315] Table 15 Results of the effect of different doses on tracheal erythropoiesis in mice in Example 11
[0316] Phenol red excretion: Compared with the negative control group (7.734±1.867 μg / mL), the low-dose and high-dose groups in Example 11 were 18.383±6.72 μg / mL and 23.897±13.518 μg / mL, respectively, with both mean values increased, and the differences between groups were statistically significant (P≤0.05). This indicates that Example 11, at actual delivery doses of 22.738 mg / kg and 45.474 mg / kg, nebulized inhalation for 15 min and 30 min, respectively, once a day for 3 consecutive days, can increase phenol red excretion in the trachea of mice. Example 21 Aerodynamic particle size distribution
[0317] Install the tray onto the NGI bottom support, ensuring that each collection cup corresponds to its respective position on the bottom support. Pre-cool the assembled impactor and L-shaped connecting tube (artificial trachea) in a cooling device (5°C) for 90 minutes. Connect the impactor to the L-shaped connecting tube, turn on the vacuum pump, connect the flow meter to the L-shaped connecting tube, and adjust the flow control valve to make the gas flow rate at the artificial trachea inlet 15 L / min (±5%). Remove the flow meter.
[0318] Connect the nebulizer to the artificial throat tube, take one sample from Example 11, squeeze it all into the nebulizer, connect the nozzle to the L-shaped connecting tube through the adapter and check the airtightness, turn on the vacuum pump for 15 seconds and then turn on the nebulizer to atomize, turn off the nebulizer after 60 seconds of atomization, wait for 15 seconds, turn off the vacuum pump, and remove the impactor from the cooling device.
[0319] Rinse each collection cup (S1-S7), MOC, adapter (ADP), artificial throat (INP), and nebulizer (DEV) with solvent. Transfer all samples from each device to different volumetric flasks (as shown in Table 16), dilute to the mark with solvent, and mix well. Repeat the same procedure three times.

[0323] Example 22 Delivery rate and total delivery volume
[0324] Delivery rate: Take one sample from Example 11 and fully extrude it into the nebulizer. Connect the nebulizer to the breathing simulator via the mouth adapter, ensuring all connections are sealed. In standard adult mode, turn on the breathing simulator and set its operating time to 1 minute (15 breathing cycles). Start the nebulizer at the beginning of the breathing cycle and stop the nebulizer and breathing simulator after 1 minute. Remove the filter membrane (65mm specification; PP material) into a 250ml beaker, add an appropriate amount of solvent, and sonicate for 10 minutes. Transfer the entire solution to a 200ml volumetric flask (absorb as much solution as possible from the filter membrane), and rinse the beaker with solvent in small amounts several times. Add the washings to the volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with solvent, and shake well. The amount of active material collected by the first filter membrane compared to the collection time is the delivery rate. Repeat the same procedure 3 times.
[0325] Total delivery volume: Replace the filter membrane (65mm specification; PP material) in the filter and continue atomization until the atomizing device no longer releases obvious aerosols. Record the total delivery volume number of times. Remove the filter membrane and place it in a 250ml beaker. Add an appropriate amount of solvent and sonicate for 10 minutes. Transfer the entire solution to a 200ml volumetric flask (absorb as much solution as possible from the filter membrane). Rinse the beaker with solvent in small amounts several times. Add the washing solution to the volumetric flask and dilute to the mark with solvent. Shake well. Accurately measure 1ml of the above solution and place it in a 10ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with solvent and shake well. The total delivery volume is the sum of the amounts collected from all filter papers (the filter papers used to determine the delivery rate and total delivery volume). Repeat the same procedure 3 times.
[0326] Residual amount: Wash the residual solution on the above nebulizer (including nebulizer, mouthpiece and adapter) with solvent, place it in a 250ml beaker, add an appropriate amount of solvent and sonicate for 10 minutes, transfer the solution to a 200ml volumetric flask, and rinse the beaker with solvent in small amounts several times. Add the washing solution to the volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with solvent and shake well; accurately measure 1ml of the above solution, place it in a 10ml volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with solvent and shake well to obtain the solution; repeat the same operation 3 times.
