Methods for increasing solubility TECHNICAL AREA

[0001] The invention relates to a method for providing a water-soluble formulation, in particular a water-soluble formulation containing ibuprofen. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

[0002] Many highly effective pharmaceutical substances, such as curcumin, paracetamol, ibuprofen, tocopherol, artesunate, calcitriol, and taxol, have relatively low water solubility.

Therefore, it is of interest to develop methods that increase the water solubility of substances, especially those relevant to pharmaceuticals. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

[0060] 2. Pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic testing 2.1 In vitro / intratrometry testing of Taxol vs. various TaxoClusters (water-soluble Taxol adducts) for their activity against two cancer cell lines Two cancer cell lines (A549 = lung cancer cell line; MCF7 = breast cancer cell line) were exposed to Taxol, as well as various Taxol formulations according to the invention, and the concentration at which cell death or impairment of metabolic activity occurs was determined (Figs. 4 to 6). Taxol was tested dissolved in DMSO. TaxoCluster solid corresponds to embodiment 1c in Table 2 TaxoCluster liquid I corresponds to embodiment 1e in Table 3. TaxoCluster liquid II corresponds to embodiment 1d in Table 3. The following could be shown. Table 7: Test results: It was shown that the Taxol formulations according to the invention are at least as effective as Taxol and, in the case of embodiments 1e and 1d, significantly more effective.

[0061] 2.2 Membrane permeability The solubility of the Taxol formulations in octanol was tested as a model for their membrane penetration. The results are shown in Figures 7 to 9. As shown in Figures 7 to 9, the solubility of the Taxol formulations according to the invention in octanol and water is significantly increased. Table 8: Comparison with commercially available Taxol formulations Paclitaxel contains polyoxyl castor oil (Cremophor), which can cause serious allergic reactions. Paclitaxel contains 393 mg of alcohol (ethanol) per ml, corresponding to 39.3% w / v. The amount in 52.5 ml of this medicine is equivalent to 515.8 ml of beer or 206.3 ml of wine. Therefore, the use of paclitaxel should be avoided in cases of liver problems, epilepsy, and alcohol dependence. In addition, co-medication with dexamethasone, diphenhydramine and cimetidine is required. The taxane formulations according to the invention do not have these disadvantages and, based on the in vitro results to date, it is expected that the dosage can be significantly lower than with paclitaxel.

[0063] 3.1 Production of the carbonic acid adduct (KA) as also disclosed in W02019 / 048590A1 1.1 Materials: • Amine (AM): 68.8 to 110.1 g of procaine hydrochloride (e.g., pure, for use as a pharmaceutical active ingredient; Ph. Eur. or of a quality suitable for this purpose) • Base (BA): 22.2 to 33.9 g sodium bicarbonate (e.g. pure or of a quality suitable for this purpose), • Solvent: 630 to 900 mL water (Aqua ad iniectiabilia) • CO2: min. 12.0 g / L carbon dioxide from pressurized steel cylinders (CO2 of suitable quality) • Dry ice for preparing freezing mixtures and for cooling • Methanol, used for technical purposes in the preparation of refrigeration mixtures Step a) Water (e.g. Aqua ad iniectiabilia) is filled into a cleaned plastic pressure bottle up to the mark (approx. 800 to 900 mL) and pre-cooled for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator (3 to 8 °C) or by means of external cooling to 5 °C. A carbon dioxide-saturated solution is prepared. For this, CO₂ is introduced into pre-chilled water at intervals under pressure (1.6 to 8 bar). The hissing sound (escaping gas via the pressure relief valve) indicates that the solution is saturated with CO₂. Saturation is checked by weight until 4.0 to 6.0 g of CO₂ (corresponding to 4.5 to 7.5 g / L) are dissolved. The saturated solution has a pH value of < 4.3 to 4.8. This carbonated water is immediately sealed and stored in the refrigerator for at least one hour. Step b) In a second plastic pressure bottle, 21.2 g of sodium bicarbonate is placed, mixed with 320 mL of cooled CO2-containing water and dissolved by swirling. Step c) To this solution, the equivalent amount of solid procaine hydrochloride is added at a constant temperature, forming a nearly neutral solution. After the addition of a further 320 mL of cold, carbonated water, a clear, weakly acidic solution is obtained. The solution is then enriched with CO2. The solution prepared in this way is stored in a refrigerator for at least one hour. The solution is then conditioned again with CO2 until a CO2 concentration of 12 g / L is reached. The pH value is checked using pH indicator strips. The pH value is < 6.6. Step d) Round-bottom flasks are pre-cooled. For freezing, the reaction solution is measured in a pre-cooled graduated cylinder, transferred in portions into round-bottom flasks, and frozen by immersion in a dry ice / methanol freezing mixture (<-60°C) using the shell-freezing method within 1.5–3.5 minutes per flask (-200 rpm). The immersion angle of the flask on the rotary evaporator is set to approximately 40°. Step e) The flasks containing the frozen goods are sealed with a ground glass stopper and stored in a freezer at -15 to -20 °C for 2 to 4 days. Step f) The cooled pistons are encased in pre-cooled polystyrene containers and immediately connected individually to an evacuated (0.060 ± 0.01 mbar, approx. -46 °C, leak test) freeze-drying system via a flexible rubber cone. The valve taps They are carefully opened and the individual flasks are placed under vacuum. Finally, all flasks must be evacuated. To monitor the process, temperature sensors are placed at the bottom of the polystyrene casing, recording the entire temperature profile throughout the drying process. Before the start of lyophilization, the temperature sensors indicate temperatures below -5 °C. During lyophilization, the pressure is 0.07 ± 0.02 mbar. This sublimation pressure is reached within 4 hours and maintained throughout the entire lyophilization period. The cooling chamber is kept at a temperature of 9 to 15 °C throughout the drying process. The endpoint of lyophilization is determined graphically from the temperature profile recordings. The total drying time was a maximum of 52 hours. The dry lyophilisate is transferred to an amber glass jar with a twist-off lid, fitted with a desiccant bag, and stored in a refrigerator at 0 to 15 °C.

[0053] 4. Comparative example In W02009 / 006799 A1 a comparative example was revealed: Paclitaxel 30mg Polyethylene glycol 400 300mg Tween - 80 1400 Mannitol 400mg Water for injection 4ml

[0049] Paclitaxel, polyethylene glycol 400, and Tween 80 were mixed and stirred. An aqueous mannitol solution was then added and mixed again. The solution was treated with 0.1% activated carbon and stirred for 20 minutes. After filtration through a 0.8 pm coarse filter and subsequent sterilization through a 0.22 pm membrane, the solution was filled into vials. Part of the solution was stored at room temperature, and the other part was freeze-dried. After one hour at room temperature, the solution became cloudy. The freeze-dried samples were reconstituted with water for injection and were cloudy again after one hour.

[0050] The example was reproduced. Neither before nor after the addition of the activated carbon was a clear solution obtained. Thus, the filtration step removes not only the activated carbon but also undissolved taxol. IR spectroscopy confirmed that the precipitate was undissolved paxlitaxel. Compare Figures 14 and 15. The filtrate was examined by UV / VIS spectroscopy. This revealed that it did not contain the full 30 mg used, but only a fraction of this amount (approximately 11%), see Figure 16. In embodiment 1e according to Table 2, the amount of paxlitaxel used in the corresponding aqueous solutions was detected by UV / VIS spectroscopy, see Figure 17. Furthermore, clear solutions were obtained in the concentrates prepared according to the inventive process with PEG400, which remained clear for at least 4 hours.
