[0001] Related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024116979805, filed on November 25, 2024, entitled "A pharmaceutical solution composition and its preparation method, nasal spray and application", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a pharmaceutical solution composition, its preparation method, a nasal spray, and its application. Background Technology

[0004] Migraine is a common neurological disorder characterized by recurrent, usually unilateral, moderate to severe throbbing headaches, often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, photophobia, and phonophobia. Its pathogenesis is currently unclear. It is generally believed that migraine patients experience a complex interaction between multiple susceptibility genes and between these genes and environmental factors, leading to an imbalance in the excitation / inhibition function of the central nervous system. This results in repeated activation and sensitization of the trigeminal vascular pathway, causing headache attacks and other accompanying symptoms. The greatest treatment need for acute migraine attacks is rapid analgesia, reducing recurrence, and quickly restoring the patient to a normal life.

[0005] Rizatriptan is a highly effective drug for treating migraines. It selectively constricts the cerebral vasculature and has very weak effects on peripheral blood vessels, thus resulting in fewer side effects. Currently, the main formulations of marketed drugs with rizatriptan as the active ingredient are oral dosage forms, including oral tablets and oral mucosal preparations. Oral tablets are available in 5mg and 10mg strengths, including regular oral tablets and orally disintegrating tablets. Oral dosage forms generally suffer from the drawback of being easily affected by food. When taken with food, the time to peak effect of the active ingredient is prolonged beyond expectations. Since migraine attacks are unpredictable, oral dosage forms are not ideal for treating acute migraine attacks. Furthermore, the nausea and vomiting that accompany migraine attacks further exacerbate the slow onset of action of oral dosage forms.

[0006] For the treatment of acute migraines, nasal administration is a more attractive alternative to oral administration, offering advantages such as rapid onset of action, absence of first-pass effect, high bioavailability, convenient administration, and improved patient compliance. Most currently reported nasal sprays target the lower nasal cavity, but their mucosal absorption is inferior to that of the upper nasal cavity. Upper nasal administration provides good tolerability, rapid and efficient drug absorption, and improved bioavailability.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pharmaceutical formulation that can be administered via nasal administration to treat migraines. Summary of the Invention

[0056] Compared to marketed rizatriptan benzoate formulations, the drug solution composition and nasal spray of this application can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream through the nasal mucosa by nasal spray administration. Food has no effect on the absorption of this product, which can help patients cope with migraine attacks in a timely manner, and thus be better used for the treatment of acute migraine attacks.

[0057] In this article, "pharmaceutically acceptable" refers to compounds, materials, compositions, and / or dosage forms that, within the bounds of reliable medical judgment, are suitable for use in contact with human and animal tissues without excessive toxicity, irritation, allergic reactions, or other problems or complications, in proportion to a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0058] In this document, "pharmaceutically acceptable salt" refers to the salt of the compounds of this application, prepared by reacting a compound with a relatively non-toxic acid or base, as discovered in this application, with a specific substituent. When the compounds of this application contain relatively acidic functional groups, base addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of base in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent. Pharmaceutically acceptable base addition salts include sodium, potassium, calcium, ammonium, organic amine, or magnesium salts, or similar salts. When the compounds of this application contain relatively basic functional groups, acid addition salts can be obtained by contacting such compounds with a sufficient amount of acid in a pure solution or a suitable inert solvent.

Certain specific compounds of this application contain both basic and acidic functional groups, and thus can be converted into either a base or an acid addition salt. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts of this application can be synthesized from parent compounds containing acid radicals or bases using conventional chemical methods. Generally, such salts are prepared by reacting these compounds, in their free acid or base form, with a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate base or acid in water, an organic solvent, or a mixture of both. These pharmaceutically acceptable salts can be used to improve the physicochemical properties of drugs (such as solubility and stability) to suit storage, formulation, or clinical use needs. These salts do not alter the pharmacological action of the drug, but may affect its pharmacokinetic properties.

[0127] This application conducted in vivo pharmacokinetic validation of formulations 13-15 from Example 7, and the experimental protocol is as follows:

[0128] (1) Animal grouping and administration

[0129] Animals were grouped according to Table 10. Rats in the NA, NB, NC, and ND groups were anesthetized before administration. The animals were weighed and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 7% chloral hydrate at a dose of 0.3-0.4 mL / 100g (approximately 350 mg / kg). Rats in the OC and OD groups were administered the drug while the animals were awake.

[0130] At the corresponding time point, 0.3 mL of whole blood was collected from each group into blood collection tubes containing heparin sodium anticoagulation. Plasma was separated from the blood within 1 hour after collection. The blood samples were centrifuged at 4°C and 1600g for 10 minutes, and the supernatant was collected.

[0132] In Table 10, except for the ND group and OF group, the animals in the other groups were fasted for 12 hours before administration, but water was allowed.

[0133] (2) Animal experiments

[0134] The rizatriptan benzoate solution was prepared as follows: 8 mg of rizatriptan benzoate was weighed into a 20 ml volumetric flask, physiological saline was added to the mark, and the solution was dissolved. This solution was used in the oral gavage administration group of rats.

[0135] Nasal administration group: Before administration, the rats were weighed and anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 7% chloral hydrate (anesthetic dose: 0.35 mL / 100 g). After anesthesia, the rats were tagged with ear tags and their serial numbers were recorded. The rats were turned over, held in the hand, and their heads were fixed. The administration tube was inserted into the rat's nasal cavity about 1.3 cm to administer the drug, with an administration volume of 50 μL.

[0136] In the gavage administration group: Hold the gavage syringe in your right hand and grasp the skin of the rat's neck with your left hand, so that the rat's head, neck and trunk are in a straight line. Insert the gavage syringe into the corner of the mouth, press down on the tongue and the palate, and gently push it inward. Slowly insert the gavage syringe along the posterior pharyngeal wall into the esophagus. After aspirating the syringe and finding no air backflow, inject the drug solution (the gavage volume is 0.5 mL, and the drug solution should be swirled and evenly dispersed before gavage).
