Description

SOLID ORAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING
TICAGRELOR OR SALT THEREOF
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to solid oral pharmaceutical compositions comprising ticagrelor or salt thereof. In particular, the present invention relates to a composition comprising ticagrelor or salt thereof in an amount less than 20 % of the weight of total composition, wherein the composition is devoid of water- insoluble fillers. The invention further relates to method of reducing the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) by using the composition ticagrelor or salt thereof.
Background of the Invention
Ticagrelor is a P2Y12 platelet inhibitor that is used to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (unstable angina, non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, or ST elevation myocardial infarction). It is an inhibitor of platelet activation and aggregation mediated by the P2Y12 ADP-receptor.
Chemically it is (1 S,2S,3R,5S)-3-[7-{[(1 R,2S)-2-(3,4-difluorophenyl) cyclopropyl] amino} -5-(propylthio) -3H- [1 ,2,3] -triazolo [4,5-d] pyrimidin-3-yl] -5- (2- hydroxyethoxy) cyclopentane -1 ,2-diol. The empirical formula of ticagrelor is C23H28F2N604S and its molecular weight is 522.57. The chemical structure of ticagrelor is:
Figure imgf000003_0001
It appears as a white or off-white to pale pink crystalline powder which does not exhibit pH dependent solubility (aqueous solubility approx. 10 μg/mL at RT) and is defined as 'low solubility' under the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS). Having also a low permeability, ticagrelor is a BCS class IV compound. Ticagrelor and its major metabolite reversibly interact with the platelet P2Y12 ADP-receptor to prevent signal transduction and platelet activation. Ticagrelor and its active metabolite are approximately equipotent.
Currently, ticagrelor is marketed in the US with a brand name Brilinta® as an immediate release tablet. It is used to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
PCT Application No. WO 2005/1 13006 discloses ticagrelor compositions in a general way, without specifying the excipients comprised therein.
PCT Application No. WO 2000/34283 discloses processes for the preparation of ticagrelor and related compounds, as well as their formulation in general terms with different pharmaceutical excipients.
PCT Application Nos. WO 2004/024127 and WO 2004/037263 and U.S. Patent Application No. 2004/001885 disclose fillers, binders, disintegrants and lubricants as excipients in pharmaceutical compositions comprising active agents different than ticagrelor. U.S. Patent Application No. 2013/0131087 discloses composition of 90 mg ticagrelor and a means of releasing the said amount.
U.S. Patent No. 8,425,934 discloses compositions of ticagrelor comprising mixture of mannitol and dibasic calcium phosphate dihydrate, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium starch glycolate, and one or more lubricants.
As ticagrelor is a low soluble drug substance (not ionised in the physiological pH range) and exhibits a moderate intrinsic permeability, there is potentially a higher risk that changes in formulation such as nature and amount of excipients and processing parameters can affect drug release from the dosage form thereby may affect its clinical performance. This has to be taken into account during formulation development of BCS class IV drugs. Also, it is desirable ensure uniform and complete release of ticagrelor or salt thereof from the composition to avoid any variability in clinical performance.
Thus, there exists an enduring need to provide an improved formulation of ticagrelor or salt thereof having low drug load and which is devoid of water- insoluble fillers can address the aforesaid objective i.e. uniform and complete release as well as may exhibit excellent storage stability.
The inventors of the present invention tried to incorporate mostly water-soluble excipients and to keep low drug load in the composition so as to ensure immediate and complete release of ticagrelor. As fillers constitute major portion of the tablet composition, any water-insoluble filler in the composition is avoided. Further, as solubility of ticagrelor is not pH dependent, inventors of the present invention have avoided use of any pH modifying filler in the formulation.
To formulate a composition having low drug load, the inventors of the present invention have prepared a composition comprising low drug (ticagrelor or salt thereof) load i.e. less than 20 % of total weight of composition. In other words, as the dose of ticagrelor is 90 mg, a composition with a total weight more than 450 mg is prepared.
The high excipient load may enable the production of solid oral pharmaceutical composition that releases its content completely and more uniformly. The total amount of excipients in a given unit dosage may be about 80% or more by weight based on the total weight of the tablet.
Inventors of the present invention have surprisingly found that it is possible to formulate a ticagrelor solid oral pharmaceutical composition having low drug load (less than 20%) that exhibits desired release profile, wherein the composition is devoid of any water-insoluble filler.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a solid oral pharmaceutical composition with low drug load comprising a pharmacologically effective amount of ticagrelor or salt thereof present in an amount of less than about 20%, wherein the formulation is devoid of any water-insoluble filler.

In another general aspect, there is provided a solid oral pharmaceutical composition comprising ticagrelor or salt thereof with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, wherein the composition comprises at least 80% pharmaceutically acceptable excipients by weight of the composition.
The amount of water-soluble filler may vary within a range of from to 5 to 90%, e.g. 10 to 80% and particularly 40 to 70% in weight based on the total weight of the composition.
According to the present invention, the amount of binder may vary within a range of from about 1 to 30%, preferably 1 to 20%, in particular 1 to 10% in weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The amount of disintegrant may vary within a range of from to 5 to 20%, e.g. 10 to 15% in weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The amount of lubricant may vary within a range of from 0.1 to 5%, e.g. 0.5 to 2% in weight based on the total weight of the composition.
The amount of coating may vary from 1 to 10%, preferably from 1 .5 to 2.5% in weight based on the total weight of the composition.

The absolute amounts of each excipient and the amounts relative to other excipients are similarly dependent on the desired properties of the tablet and may also be chosen by routine experimentation. For example, the solid oral pharmaceutical composition may be chosen to exhibit accelerated and/or delayed release of ticagrelor with or without quantitative control of the release of active agent. Preferably the solid oral pharmaceutical composition is chosen to exhibit immediate release of the ticagrelor.
In accordance with the present invention, it has now unexpectedly been found that stable and convenient tablets devoid of water insoluble fillers and comprising low load of ticagrelor are obtainable. Specifically, the tablets of the invention may be prepared by granulation, preferably wet-granulation, followed by compression methods.
It is a characteristic of the tablet according to the invention that it contains a low content of ticagrelor given the relatively high amount of excipients. This enables the production of tablets that releases its content completely and more uniformly. The total amount of excipients in a given unit dosage may be about 80% or more by weight based on the total weight of the tablet.
In another general aspect, the solid oral pharmaceutical composition retains at least 90% by weight of the total content of ticagrelor or salt thereof when stored at 40°C and 75% relative humidity over a period of at least 3 months.
In another general aspect, there is provided a process of preparing the solid oral pharmaceutical composition of ticagrelor or salt thereof, which process comprises steps of:

A solid bulk of granulate mass, which is necessary for manufacturing tablets, can be manufactured using two main processes, wet granulation or dry granulation. Tablets may also be manufactured using direct compression. Direct compression relates to the tabletting process itself rather than preparation of the starting material.
In wet granulation, components are typically mixed and granulated using a wet binder. The wet granulates are then sieved, dried and optionally ground prior to compressing into tablets. Wet granulation is used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry although it has proven to be a difficult method, mainly because the liquids needed in the granule and tablet manufacturing process often have an adverse effect on the characteristics of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and/or on the end product such as a tablet. Dry granulation is usually described as a method of controlled crushing of precompacted powders densified by either slugging or passing the material between two counter-rotating rolls.
More specifically, powdered components that may contain very fine particles are typically mixed prior to being compacted to yield hard slugs which are then ground and sieved before the addition of other ingredients and final compression to form tablets. Because substantially no liquids are used in the dry granulation process, the issues related to wet granulation are avoided. Although dry granulation would in many cases appear to be the best way to produce products such as tablets containing APIs, it has been relatively little used because of the challenges in producing the desired kind of granules as well as managing the granulated material in the manufacturing process. Known dry granulation methods, as well as the known issues related to them are well described in scientific articles, such as the review article "Roll compaction / dry granulation: pharmaceutical applications" written by Peter Kleinebudde and published in European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics 58 (2004) at pages 317-326.
Direct compression is generally considered to be the simplest and the most economical process for producing tablets. However, it may only be applied to materials that do not need to be granulated before tableting. Direct compression requires only two principal steps; i.e., the mixing of all the ingredients and the compression of this mixture. However, direct compression is applicable to only a relatively small number of substances as the ingredients of the tablets often need to be processed by some granulation technique to make them compressible and/or for improving their homogeneity and flow-ability.
In another embodiment, the solid oral pharmaceutical composition retains at least 90% by weight of the total content of ticagrelor or salt thereof when stored at 40°C and 75% relative humidity over a period of at least 3 months. It is also well known in the art that in order to get uniform tablets the bulk to be tableted should be homogeneous and should have good flow characteristics.
In another embodiment, the process of preparing the solid oral pharmaceutical composition of ticagrelor or salt thereof, which process comprises steps of:
(a) mixing ticagrelor or salt thereof with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients to form a dry powder blend;

(c) compressing granules obtained in step (b) to form tablet, and
(d) optionally, coating the tablet of step (c) with one or more film forming polymers.
