Abstract
OPHTHALMIC FORMULATIONS OF SQUALAMINE Abstract The invention relates to ophthalmic formulations of squalamine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the treatment of conditions of the eye such as, for example, wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), choroidal neovascularization, retinopathy, dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, neovascularization following ocular surgery, macular edema, retinal venous occlusion, subchoroidal neovascularization, retinal epithelial detachment, pterygum or foveal geographic atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Description
Ophthalmic Formulations of Squalamine Cross Reference to Related Applications [0001] This application is a divisional of Australian Patent Application No 2011292160 which is the Australian national phase entry of PCT/US2011/047920, which claims priority to US provisional patent application No 61/374,524 filed 17 August 2010. Each of these applications is herein incorporated by reference in their entireties. This application is also technically related to U.S. Patent No. 5,192,756 (issued March 9, 1993), U.S. Patent No. 6,962,909 (issued November 8, 2005) and U.S. Patent No. 7,981,876 (issued July 19, 2011), each of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
Field of the Invention [0002] The invention relates to ophthalmic formulations of squalamine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts for the treatment of conditions of the eye such as, for example, wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD), choroidal neovascularization, retinopathy, dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD), polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy, neovascularization following ocular surgery, macular edema, retinal venous occlusion, subchoroidal neovascularization, retinal epithelial detachment, pterygum or foveal geographic atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Background of the Invention [0003] Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible central vision loss among people in the United States aged 52 or older and is the most common overall cause of blindness in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Australia. AMD encompasses several types of abnormalities that develop in the macula of affected individuals. Two forms of macular degeneration exist: dry (also known as atrophic) and wet (also known as disciform, exudative, subretinal neovascular or choroidal neovascular). The dry form, which may be a precursor to the wet form, results from an inability of the pigment epithelium of the macula to remove waste materials generated by the retina.
The wet form occurs when new blood vessels grow under the retina, particularly the macula.
[0004] Squalamine (IUPAC Name: ([6-[(3S,5R,7R,10S,13R,14S)-3-[3-(4-aminobutylamino)propylamino]-7-hydroxy-10,13-dimethyl-2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,ll,12,14,15,16,17-tetradecahydro-1 H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren- 17-yl]-2-methylheptan-3-yl] hydrogen sulfate) is an aminosterol exhibiting anti-angiogenic properties that has been utilized as an intravenous infusion for the effective treatment of wet AMD where it functions to prevent the neovascularization and aberrant blood vessel formation in the retina that characterize the progression of the disease (Sills Jr. et al., “Squalamine Inhibits Angiogenesis and Solid Tumor Growth in Vivo Perturbs Embyronic Vasculature”, Jul. 1, 1998, Cancer Research. 58, 2784-2792; Higgins et al., “Squalamine Improves Retinal Neovascularization”, May 2000, Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, vol. 41, No. 6, pp. 1507-1512.; PRNEWSWIRE, “Genaera Reports Squalamine Continues to Improve Vision at Four Months Timepoint in Age-Related Macular Degeneration”, Oct. 7, 2003, http://www.evesightnews.com/topic/28.html·)· Squalamine is the subject of U.S. Patent No. 5,192,756 to Zasloff et al., the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety. The total chemical synthesis of squalamine is described in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,262,283 and 6,610,866, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
[0005] It would clearly be desirable from a patient-use and risk standpoint to have available a topical formulation for direct application to the eye as opposed to an intravenous infusion, or especially the current standard of care which requires monthly injections directly into the eye. Topical formulations in the form of, for example, solutions, suspensions, creams or ointments are easily self-administered by patients as compared to more invasive techniques, such as intravenous infusions, which require costly administration under medical supervision and which can result in serious complications such as endophthalmitis and retinal detachment. The general problem with ocular eyedrops, however, is that after their administration, typically less than 5% of the drug in the eyedrop penetrates the cornea and reaches intraocular tissues. Instead, a major fraction of the administered dose is eliminated due to solution drainage and systemic absorption (Jarvinen K. et al., “Ocular absorption following topical delivery”, Adv. Drug Deliv. Rev. 1995; 16(1):3-19. See also Conroy C.W., “Sulfonamides do not reach the retina in therapeutic amounts after topical application to the cornea” , Ocul. Pharmacol. Ther. 1997; 13(5):465- 472 and Maurice D.M., “Drug delivery to the posterior segment from drops", Surv. Ophthalmol. 2002; 47(suppl. 1):S41-S52).
[0006] In addition, a previous clinical trial to test the efficacy of squalamine for the treatment of AMD by IV infusion revealed potential problems for long term use. The intravenous dosing regimen in the IV formulation was deemed to be suboptimal using pharmacokinetic analyses and was not viable on a commercial basis for a variety of reasons. For one, the short plasma half-life of squalamine in human subjects at the 40 mg dose resulted in concentrations in the choroid insufficient to block choroidal neovascularization (CNV) after 4-6 days. When the dosing was spaced out to monthly "maintenance" infusions, there was potentially only up to a week of inhibition of CNV, followed by three weeks or more of active new angiogenesis. This regimen produced good gains in visual acuity after the first four to five weeks of administration, followed by a decline in the rate of improvement after the fifth week. Intravenous dosing caused local infusion-site reactions (dosing was orders of magnitude higher than dose to be used in the topical formulation). In a "real world" situation, it is unrealistic to expect an elderly patient with wet AMD to be able to visit a clinic on a weekly basis for a prolonged infusion. Most retinal ophthalmic practices are also not set up for such intravenous infusions.
[0007] Compared to the above indicated disadvantages associated with intravenous dosing, the present invention represents the discovery of a safe and non-irritating ocular formulation for topical administration that is able to achieve selected delivery of a therapeutic agent to the back of the eye for treatment of a disorder.

Brief Description of the Figures [00025] The figures are only an illustrative embodiment of the scope of the present invention and are not intended to otherwise limit the scope of the invention.
[00026] Figure 1 shows the disruption of Human Vascular Endothelial Cell (HUVEC) tube formation by squalamine.
Detailed Description of the Invention [00027] In an exemplary embodiment, the ophthalmic formulations of the invention contain squalamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, a mucoadhesive agent and a penetration enhancer. The formulations may optionally also include, but are not limited to, at least one of (a) a tonicity modifier; (b) an antimicrobial preservative; (c) a buffering agent; (d) a surfactant; (e) a stabilizing agent; (f) a solubilizing or resuspension agent; (g) an additional mucoadhesive agent; and (h) an additional penetration enhancer.
[00028] The topical formulations of the invention are believed to target the back of the eye. For a topical formulation to be advantageous in targeting the back of the eye, it should have the properties of being able to reach the posterior sclera of the eye in sufficient concentrations. Ideally, the formulation should have enhanced residence time on the cornea without being flushed away by tears before diffusing to the rear of the eye, such as from the anterior sclera to the posterior sclera. Because a drug molecule may adversely affect the lens of the eye, such as by clouding it, the drug molecule should not pass from the front of the eye into the orb and enter the aqueous humor and vitreous humor within the eyeball to any significant degree. The formulations of the present invention possess the desired and unique characteristics needed to effectively deliver a drug molecule, such as squalamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which is applied to the front of the eye to the rear of the eye where the therapeutic concentrations of the drug molecule are required for treatment of the targeted disorder. After administration onto the surface of the eye, the composition enter the conjunctiva and anterior sclera and into the corneal layer. The mucoadhesive agent is believed to increase residence time in the cornea so that the drug may diffuse slowly over time to the posterior sclera, resulting in delivery of sustained concentrations of squalamine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in the posterior sclera. The mucoadhesive agent accomplishes this objective by retarding the loss of the drug through, for example, drainage from the nasolachryimal duct due to lachrymation and tear turnover. The mucoadhesive agent also typically possesses viscosity enhancing properties that may result in a desirable soothing or lubricating effect. The penetration enhancer agent which is optionally added to the formulation enhances penetration of the formulation into the comeal epithelial layers, further enhancing the residence time of the squalamine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof in the eye. The stabilizing agent may act as an antioxidant or otherwise retard the chemical degradation of the squalamine formulation. The buffering agent buffers the formulation to a comfortable near-neutral pH compatible with ocular administration. The tonicity modifier in the formulation produces the appropriate osmolality of the ophthalmic formulation.
[00029] The resulting formulations are stable, and after sterilization, may be packaged, stored and used directly. In an exemplary embodiment, the formulations are in drop form in the manner typically used to apply eye drops. The normal squeeze-type liquid drop application devices are perfectly suited for use in applying the ophthalmic formulations of the invention. In an exemplary embodiment, the formulations are conveniently administered by dropwise addition of the formulations into the affected eye(s) of the user.
[00030] The formulations of the present invention containing preservatives are especially advantageous for use in multi-dose containers. Multi-dose containers, as used herein, refer to containers which allow two or more separate applications of the ophthalmic formulation present within the container. Such containers are resealable - /.<?., the container cap may be removed for a first application, and then the cap may be replaced onto the container, thereby providing a substantially liquid impermeable seal again. In an exemplary embodiment, an antimicrobial preservative is present in an amount sufficient to reduce microbial concentrations for a period of about 12 hours to about 72 hours, such as about 12 hours to about 48 hours, such as about 12 hours to about 24 hours.
[00031] In an exemplary embodiment, those formulations containing no preservative are packaged in a unit dose container - /.<?., where only a single dose can be provided by a given container. Such preservative-free compositions are subject to uncontrolled microbial growth once the consumer initially breaks the container seal. Accordingly, the consumer is instructed to dispose of the container after the first dose. An appropriate unit-dose system such as blow-fill-seal unit dose preservative-free packaging system is typically used for the preservative-free formulations.
[00032] Pharmaceutical compositions for the topical ophthalmic administration of the squalamine or it salts thereof of this invention may be formulated in conventional ophthalmologically compatible vehicles, such as, for example, an ointment, cream, suspension, lotion, powder, solution, paste, gel, spray, aerosol or oil.
[00033] As used herein, the term "macular degeneration" is intended to encompass all forms of macular degeneration and includes a gradual loss of central vision usually affecting either or both eyes that occurs especially in the elderly. A slowly progressing form of macular degeneration, usually referred to as the dry form, is marked especially by the accumulation of yellow deposits in the macula lutea and the thinning of the macula lutea. A rapidly progressing form of macular degeneration, usually referred to as the wet form, is marked by scarring produced by bleeding and fluid leakage from new blood vessels formed below the macula lutea. Macular degeneration may exist as either the wet form or the dry form.
[00034] As defined herein, a “therapeutically effective amount” is an amount of an active agent (such as squalamine) which inhibits, totally or partially, the progression of the condition or alleviates, at least partially, one or more symptoms of the condition. A therapeutically effective amount can also be an amount that is prophylactically effective. The amount that is therapeutically effective will depend upon the patient’s size and gender, the condition to be treated, the severity of the condition and the result sought. For a given patient, a therapeutically effective amount can be determined by methods known to those of skill in the art. The concentration of squalamine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof will typically be about 0.005 to about 5.0 weight percent, such as about 0.010 to about 4.0 weight percent, such as about 0.020 to about 3.0 weight percent, such as about 0.030 to about 2.0 weight percent, such as about 0.050 to about 1.0 weight percent.
[00035] In an exemplary embodiment, the squalamine is in the form of the dilactate salt.
In an exemplary embodiment, the squalamine dilactate salt is employed at a concentration of about 0.1 to about 0.3% w/v, such as about 0.1 to 0.2% w/v.
[00036] Optionally, the formulations of the present invention contain a tonicity modifier.
In an exemplary embodiment, the tonicity modifier is non-ionic. The tonicity modifier may be selected from, but is not limited to, mannitol, sorbitol, dextrose, sucrose, urea, glycerol, polyethylene glycol and any mixtures thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the tonicity modifier is present in amount sufficient to generate a tonicity of about 50 to about 350 milliosmols per kilogram (mOsmol/kg), such as about 65 to about 325 mOsmol/kg, such as about 80 to about 310 mOsmol/kg, such as about 95 to about 295 mOsmol/kg, such as about 110 to about 280 mOsmol/kg, such as about 125 to about 265 mOsmol/kg, such as about 140 to about 250 mOsmol/kg, such as about 155 to about 235 mOsmol/kg, such as about 170 to about 220 mOsmol/kg, such as about 185 to about 205 mOsmol/kg.
[00037] The formulation may also contain, an ionic salt, selected from, but not limited to, alkali metal halides (such as, for example, NaCl, KC1, NaBr, etc.), in an amount ranging from about 0.3% to about 1% weight percent or sufficient to approximate the salt concentration and/or tonicity of the human tear fluid. Selected salts from this group may also be referred to as ionic tonicity modifiers.
[00038] Where a preservative is used in the formulations of the present invention, an antimicrobial is present in an amount sufficient to generate a microbial barrier to maintain or reduce microbial concentrations for a period of about 12 hours to about 72 hours, such as about 12 hours to about 48 hours, such as about 12 hours to about 24 hours. Preservatives include, but are not limited to, benzalkonium chloride, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol, cetrimonium, methylparaben, propylparaben, polyamino propyl biguanide, phenylethyl alcohol, chlorohexidine, chlorohexidine digluconate, chloroquat, stabilized oxychloro complex or any combination thereof.
[00039] Buffering agents that can be used in the formulations of the present invention include, but are not limited to, buffers prepared from sodium, potassium bicarbonate, phosphate, acetate, citrate, borate salts and/or phosphoric acid, acetic acid, citric acid or boric acid. In an exemplary embodiment, the buffer is sodium dihydrogen phosphate or disodium phosphate or boric acid/sodium borate. The buffers of the invention should be present in an amount sufficient to produce and maintain a product pH of about 5.5 to about 8.0, such as about 5.7 to about 7.7, such as about 6.0 to about 7.4, such as about 6.3 to about 7.1, such as about 6.6 to about 6.8, and including a pH of about 5.7, about 5.9, about 6.1, about 6.3, about 6.5, about 6.7, about 6.9, about 7.1, about 7.3, about 7.5, about 7.7 or about 7.9.
[00040] A surfactant may also be added to the formulations of the present invention. In an exemplary embodiment, the surfactant is present at a concentration range of about 0.001% to about 0.3%, such as about 0.005% to about 0.2%, such as about 0.01% to about 0.1%, such as about 0.05% to about 0.1%, to provide enhanced wetting characteristics to the formulation.

Example 12 [00074] Stability Study on Squalamine lactate Formulations [00075] Formulations G and H (see above) were tested for stability for 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months and 6 months at room temperature and at 40°C. The squalamine lactate concentration was assessed by HPLC at each time point (Table 1) and the stability of the formulation was assessed by visual observation and pH (Table 2). Squalamine lactate and the formulations were found to be stable at all time points.

Stability of Squalamine Lactate Formulations
Example 13 [00076] Tolerance Study of Squalamine lactate formulations bv topical administration to the rabbit eye [00077] Squalamine Lactate Formulation G and Squalamine Lactate Formulation H (see formulations above) were evaluated for ocular tolerance when given as a single daily dose by topical ocular instillation for 28 consecutive days to Dutch-belted rabbits. The vehicle controls were the squalamine lactate formulations without the squalamine lactate.
[00078] The study design was as follows:
Experimental Design
a Based on a 2 kg rabbit. b Doses given as once daily topical ocular instillation to each eye.
[00079] The following parameters and end points were evaluated in this study: clinical signs, body weights, body weight changes, ophthalmology, intraocular pressure, gross ocular examinations, gross necropsy findings and histopathologic examinations. There were no observed deaths and no treatment-related effects on body weights and body weight gains. There were also no treatment-related ophthalmologic findings, no effects on intraocular pressure and no macroscopic or microscopic findings. Based on these observations, formulations were safe and exhibited no signs of ocular toxicity.
[00080] Treatment-related eye redness and/or discharge and rarely swelling were noted in the eye(s) of animals given > 38.4 pg/kg/day Squalamine Lactate Formulation G and/or > 39 pg/kg/day Squalamine Lactate Formulation H and/or Vehicle Control B with a general increased incidence in animals given Squalamine Lactate
Formulation H. Observations of discharge correlated with minor clinical signs of clear discharge noted on Day 14 in animals given both Squalamine Lactate formulations and animals given Vehicle Control B. These observations were considered non-adverse given their low severity (generally, very slight or any deviation from normal) and lack of ophthalmological, macroscopic or microscopic correlates.
[00081] In conclusion, administration of Squalamine Lactate Formulation G at 0, 38.4, 57.6 and 96 pg/kg/day and Squalamine Lactate Formulation H at 0, 39, 58.5 and 97.5 pg/kg/day by once daily topical ocular instillation was generally well-tolerated in Dutch-belted rabbits. Based on these results, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 96 pg/kg/day (Squalamine Lactate Formulation G) or 97.5 pg/kg/day (Squalamine Lactate Formulation H), and based on the incidence of minor ocular findings of redness and discharge at all doses of Squalamine Lactate Formulation H and occasionally in animals given Vehicle Control B, the Squalamine Lactate Formulation G and Vehicle Control A were considered better tolerated than Squalamine Lactate Formulation H and Vehicle Control B.
Example 14 [00082] Ocular Biodistribution Study of A Squalamine Lactate Formulation in the Dutch-Belted Rabbit Following Ocular Administration [00083] The objective of this study was to determine the ocular biodistribution of squalamine lactate formulation G (see composition above) when given once by ocular administration to male Dutch-Belted rabbits.
[00084] The study design was as follows:
Experimental Design
a Dose was given once as a topical ocular instillation to each eye.
[00085] Body weight measurements were taken for randomization/dose calculation purposes. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed following ocular administration. Following dose administration, blood samples were collected at specified time points and plasma was prepared. After blood sample collection, the animals were euthanized and a necropsy was performed to collect the following ocular tissues: aqueous humor, vitreous humor, sensory retina and choroid/sclera. The plasma and ocular tissues were analyzed and the results of these analyses are indicated in the table below.
Squalamine in Rabbit Tissue Results (ng/gm)
Posterior Sclera and Choroid
[00086] No quantifiable levels of squalamine were detected in the aqueous or vitreous humor of any animals, confirming that squalamine does not significantly penetrate through all the layers of the cornea or contact the lens. In conclusion, the results of the analysis of ocular tissues for the amount of squalamine lactate present show levels in the posterior sclera and choroid sufficient to disrupt HU VAC tube formation even at the three-hour time point (see Figure 1 and Example 15 below). It can therefore be inferred (see, e.g., Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. February 2005 vol. 46 no. 2 454-460 and US patent application publication # 2010/0272719) that these levels are sufficient to block the deleterious choroidal neovascularization (CNV) process that occurs in wet-AMD.
Example 15 [00087] Inhibition of VEGF Induced Tube Formation bv HIJVEC with Squalamine [00088] Squalamine lactate was mixed in solution at 50, 100 or .200 nM concentration with a suspension of human vascular endothelial cells (HIJVEC). The suspension was then immediately plated on Matrigel which contained multiple growth factors including vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). The plates were incubated at 37°C in an atmosphere of 95% 0^5% CO2 for 24 hrs and then the plates were photographed. The results are shown in figure 1 and indicate that squalamine disrupts tube formation even at 50 nM concentration.
