Description

WO 2005/123092 PCT/EP2005/007974 1 COMPOSITION FOR THE TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS COMPRISING A SILICONE AGENT, A CORTICOSTEROID AND VITAMIN D OR A DERIVATIVE THEREOF The present invention pertains to the field 5 of the formulation of active principles for the purpose of topical pharmaceutical application. The present invention relates more particularly to a stable anhydrous pharmaceutical composition comprising a silicone agent and as active 10 principles vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative and a corticosteroid, to the process for preparing it and to its use for the topical treatment of psoriasis and other skin disorders. Vitamin D and its derivatives are generally 15 used in dermatology in the treatment of psoriasis since they limit the excessive production of cutaneous cells on the surfaces affected and possess proven advantages for the treatment of this ailment, which is characterized in particular by the presence of thick, 20 squamous and dry lesions. It is known that a certain number of active principles which exhibit advantageous therapeutic activity are sensitive to oxidation and in particular undergo chemical degradation leading to a substantial 25 loss in their activity in the presence of water. The combination in a single pharmaceutical composition of vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative with WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 2 a corticosteroid is not without its problems. This is because vitamin D or some vitamin D derivatives are unstable in an acidic environment (they have maximum stability at pH values of approximately 8) and certain 5 corticosteroids are unstable in a basic environment (they exhibit maximum stability at a pH of approximately 4 to 6). Consequently it is appropriate to formulate these active principles in anhydrous compositions. 10 The anhydrous compositions presently available on the market which allow the formulation of water-sensitive active principles while ensuring their effective chemical stability are generally ointment compositions. These ointment compositions are composed 15 principally of petroleum jelly, mineral oil and/or vegetable oil. Some of the compositions comprising petroleum jelly, however, are felt after application to be sticky and greasy, and in addition are shiny. The greasy residue left on the skin prevents the patient 20 afflicted by psoriasis from putting on his or her clothes again after treatment without the risk of leaving greasy marks thereon, which does not necessarily encourage the patient to follow his or her treatment. Non-compliance with the prescribed treatment 25 is one of the main causes of failure; the article "Patients with psoriasis and their compliance with medication, Richards et al., J. Am. Acad. Dermatol., WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 3 Oct. 1999, pp. 581-583" indicates that almost 40% of patients with a chronic disease such as psoriasis do not follow their treatment. The characteristics of the vehicle used in the pharmaceutical compositions are 5 directly linked to the adherence by the patient to his or her treatment. The ointment compositions presently on the market do not always lend themselves to the formulation of the active principle in a solubilized form. 10 EP 0 255 369 and US 6 103 250 describe formulations based for the most part on silicone derivatives, in which the water-sensitive active substances are formulated in a dispersed form. The dispersed form, however, is generally detrimental to 15 optimum skin penetration and/or release of these active substances. One of the aims of the present invention is to provide an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for topical application that allows the 20 abovementioned drawbacks to be removed. Another aim of the present invention is to provide an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for topical application wherein the active principles are in a solubilized form and exhibit 25 prolonged stability. The present invention accordingly provides an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for the WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 4 treatment of psoriasis, characterized in that it comprises a silicone agent comprising at least one organopolysiloxane elastomer and, as active principles, a compound A selected from vitamin D or a vitamin D 5 derivative and a compound B selected from a corticosteroid, the said compounds A and B each being in a solubilized form in the said composition. By solubilized form is meant a dispersion in the molecular state in a liquid, no crystallization of 10 the active being visible to the naked eye or even under an optical microscope with crossed polarization. The composition of the invention is intended more particularly for topical application. The active principles are in the solubilized 15 state, thereby giving the compositions of the invention effective properties of release/skin penetration of each of the said active principles, in conjunction with more advantageous kinetics. The term "effective release/penetration capacity" refers to the effective 20 distribution of the composition of the invention and hence of the active principles it comprises across the stratum corneum of the skin and also across the subcutaneous layers such as the epidermis and the dermis. 25 In particular the pharmaceutical composition according to the present invention is such that the difference in optimum pH stability of the compound A WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 5 and the optimum pH stability of the compound B is at least 1. The term "anhydrous composition" refers for the purposes of the present invention to a composition 5 which is substantially free of water, which is to say that it has a water content of less than or equal to 5% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, in particular less than or equal to 3%, and especially zero. 10 The active principles forming part of the compositions of the invention, namely vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative and a corticosteroid, possess a therapeutic activity against dermatological ailments or skin complaints such as, for example, psoriasis. 15 By vitamin D is meant the various forms of vitamin D such as, for example, vitamin Di, D 2 , D 3 or vitamin
D
4 . By vitamin D derivatives are meant compounds which exhibit biological properties analogous to those 20 of vitamin D, especially properties of transactivation of vitamin D response elements (VDREs), such as an agonist or antagonist activity with regard to receptors of vitamin D or its derivatives. These compounds are not generally natural metabolites of vitamin D. The 25 compounds in question are, in particular, synthetic compounds comprising the vitamin D skeleton with modifications on the side chains and/or likewise WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 6 comprising modifications within the skeleton itself. Vitamin D derivatives useful according to the invention thus comprise structural analogues: biaromatics, for example. 5 By way of illustration of vitamin D derivatives mention may be made in particular of calcipotriol, calcitriol or 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin
D
3 , doxercalciferol, secalcitol, maxacalcitol, seocalcitol, tacalcitol, paricalcitol, falecalcitriol, la,24S 10 dihydroxyvitamin D2, 1(S),3(R)-dihydroxy-20(R)-[((3-(2 hydroxy-2-propyl)phenyl)methoxy)methyl]-9,10 secopregna-5(Z),7(E),10(19)-triene and mixtures thereof. According to one preferred embodiment of the 15 invention the vitamin D derivative is calcitriol. As vitamin D derivatives which can be used according to the invention mention may also be made of the derivatives described in WO 02/34235, WO 00/64450, EP1124779, EP1235824, EP1235777, WO 02/94754, 20 WO 03/050067 and WO 00/26167. The compounds described in WO 00/26167 concern structural analogues of vitamin D which exhibit selective activity on proliferation and on cell differentiation without exhibiting any hypercalcemic character. 25 Advantageously the amount of vitamin D or vitamin D derivative in solubilized form in the composition of the invention is from 0.00001 to 5% by WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 7 weight relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 0.0001 to 3% by weight and more particularly from 0.0003 to 1% by weight. By corticosteroid is meant for the purposes 5 of the present invention a topical steroid from group I, II, III or IV (strong and weak). According to one advantageous embodiment of the invention the corticosteroid is selected from the group consisting of betamethasone, clobetasol, 10 clobetasone, desoxymethasone, diflucortolone, diflorasone, fluocinonide, flumethasone, fluocinolone, fluticasone, fluprednidene, halcinonide, hydrocortisone, momethasone, triamcinolone and their pharmaceutically acceptable esters and acetonides and 15 mixtures thereof. As examples of esters or acetonides mention may be made of those selected from the group consisting of the 17-valerate, 17-propionate, 17,21-dipropionate, acetonide, acetonide-21-N-benzoyl-2-methyl-3-alaninate, 20 acetonide-21-(3,3-dimethylbutyrate) and 17-butyrate. According to one preferred embodiment of the invention the corticosteroid is clobetasol 17 propionate. Advantageously the amount of corticosteroid 25 in solubilized form in the composition of the invention is from 0.00005 to 3% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 0.0001 to 1% WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 8 by weight, and more particularly from 0.001 to 0.1% by weight. According to one advantageous embodiment of the invention the active principles are solubilized in 5 the same solvent or in two or more solvents. The solvent of the present invention is selected from pharmaceutically acceptable compounds, which is to say compounds whose use is compatible in particular with application to the skin, the mucosae 10 and/or the keratin fibres. The solvent is generally fluid, and in particular liquid, at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. As solvents according to the invention mention may be made in particular of the following: 15 - linear or branched aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 6 carbon atoms such as ethanol, isopropanol, butanol and mixtures thereof; preferably the solvent is ethanol; - oils such as caprylic and capric 20 triglycerides (Miglyol 812), cetearyl isononanoate (Cetiol SN), vegetable oils such as sweet almond oil, sesame oil, wheatgerm oil, olive oil and mixtures thereof; and mixtures thereof. 25 As a suitable solvent in the compositions of the invention mention may also be made of: - compounds of general formula WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 9

According to one preferred embodiment of the invention, when the active principles are calcitriol and clobetasol 17-propionate, the solvent is more particularly absolute ethanol. The solvent is generally present in the 15 compositions of the invention in an amount which is on the one hand sufficient to provide the required solubility of the active principles to be formulated and which on the other hand is compatible with the need to preserve prolonged chemical stability of these 20 active principles. In other words the solvent must be chemically inert towards the active principles. Advantageously the amount of solvent in a composition of the invention is from 1 to 50% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, 25 preferably from 2 to 40% by weight and more particularly from 5 to 20% by weight. The solvent likewise confers a beneficial WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 10 effect on the skin penetration rate of the active principles. Moreover the solvent may also be useful for promoting the compatibility of the silicone agent with 5 one or more other components present in the composition. According to the invention, one or more cosolvents may be added to the composition. The following non-comprehensive list describes examples of 10 cosolvents which may potentially be used according to the invention: Commercial name Chemical name PROPYLENE GLYCOL PROPANE-DIOL 1,2 TRANSCUTOL HP DIETHYLENE GLYCOL MONOETHYL ETHER PEG 400 MACROGOL 400 PHARMASOLVE N METHYL 2 PYRROLIDONE TWEEN 80 POLYSORBATE 80 AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE MELALEUCA ALTERNIFOLIA OIL PLUROL DIISOTEARIQUE TRIGLYCEROL DIISOSTEARATE BENZYL ALCOHOL BENZYLIC ALCOHOL PHENOXYETHANOL PHENOXYETHANOL ISOPROPANOL PROPANOL-2 CRODAMOL DA DIISOPROPYL ADIPATE EUTANOL V-PH OLEYL ALCOHOL WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 11 HEXYLENE GLYCOL METHYL-2-PENTANEDIOL-1,2 PHENYL ETHYL ALCOHOL 2-PHENYLETHANOL HYDROLITE-5 PENTYLENE GLYCOL ARLASOLVE DMI DIMETHYL ISOSORBIDE SOLUTOL HS-15 MACROGOL-15-HYDROXYSTEARATE Preferably, these cosolvents will be used in combination with ethanol. According to the invention the silicone agent 5 comprises at least one organopolysiloxane elastomer. By organopolysiloxane elastomer is meant any chemically crosslinked siloxane polymer which exhibits viscoelastic properties. By viscoelastic properties is meant the 10 capability of the elastomer to deform up to a certain point, when subjected to mechanical loading, and to regain its original shape following removal of the said loading. According to one particular embodiment of the 15 invention the organopolysiloxane elastomer is formulated in a vehicle comprising at least one volatile silicone oil. By a volatile silicone oil is meant any silicone oil capable of evaporating on contact with the 20 skin, the mucosae or the keratin fibres in less than one hour at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.
WO 2005/123092 PCT/EP2005/007974 12 As examples of volatile silicone oils mention may be made, for example, of linear or cyclic polyorganosiloxane oils having in particular 2 to 10 silicon atoms and optionally containing alkyl or alkoxy 5 groups.having 1 to 22 carbon atoms.

The reason for this is that it has been demonstrated that the addition of these vinylsiloxanes (or vinylsilanes) blocks the remaining SiH functions 15 which have not reacted ("quenching agent"). The compounds (A') which can be used for preparing the preferred silicone agents according to the invention are of the type described in US application 5,929,164. Examples of such vinylsiloxane or vinylsilane compounds 20 (A') include vinyl-t-butyldimethylsilane, vinyldiethyl methylsilane, vinylethyldimethylsilane, vinyltriethyl silane, vinyltrimethylsilane, divinyldimethylsilane, divinyltetramethyldisilane, vinylpentamethyldisiloxane, 1,3-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane, a vinyltrisiloxane of 25 structure (CH 3

WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 17 structure. The preferred alpha,omega-diene(B) according to the invention is 1,5-hexadiene. According to one particular embodiment the 5 silicone agents according to the invention are preferably polysiloxane elastomers which did not contain a hydrophilic group. By a hydrophilic group, according to the invention, is meant, for example, a group of polyoxyalkylene type or a group of glycol 10 type. The above-defined silicone elastomer may fulfil in particular the function of a thickener in the compositions according to the invention. It may further be involved in stabilizing the said compositions. 15 Likewise suitable as silicone elastomers in accordance with the invention are silicone polymers having an average molecular weight of at least 10 000 (for example ranging from 10 000 to 10 000 000). Examples of silicone polymers include crosslinked 20 siloxane copolymers, for example copolymers of dimethicone or dimethicone derivatives, such as the stearylmethyl-dimethylsiloxane copolymer (Gransil SR CYC* from the company Grant Industries), Polysilicone 11* (i.e. a crosslinked silicone elastomer formed by 25 reacting vinyl-terminated silicone and methylhydro dimethylsiloxane in the presence of cyclomethicone), crosslinked cetearyldimethicone/vinyldimethicone WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 18 copolymers (i.e. a cetearyldimethicone copolymer crosslinked with a vinyldimethylpolysiloxane), a crosslinked dimethicone/phenylvinyldimethicone polymer (i.e. a dimethylpolysiloxane copolymer crosslinked with 5 phenylvinyldimethylsiloxane), and a crosslinked dimethicone/vinyldimethicone copolymer (i.e. a dimethylpolysiloxane copolymer crosslinked with vinyl dimethylsiloxane). Silicone gels of this kind may be obtained 10 commercially in particular from Grant Industries. Examples of such gels include the mixture of cyclomethicone and polysilicone-11 sold for example under the name Gransil GCM5*, the mixture of cyclotetra siloxane and polysilicone-il sold for example under the 15 name Gransil PS-4*, the mixture of cyclopentasiloxane and polysilicone-11 sold for example under the name Gransil PS-5*, the mixture of cyclopentasiloxane, dimethicone and polysilicone-11 sold for example under the name Gransil DMCM-5*, the mixture of cyclotetra 20 siloxane, dimethicone and polysilicone-11 sold for example under the name Gransil DMCM-4*, the mixture of polysilicone-11 and isododecane sold for example under the name Gransil IDS*, and the mixture of cyclo methicone, polysilicone-11 and phytosphingosine sold 25 for example under the name Gransil SPH*. Examples of gels available from the company General Electric include in particular a crosslinked polymer called WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 19 cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone/vinyldimethicone crosspolymer SFE839*. Other silicone gels may also be obtained commercially in particular from Shin-Etsu under the 5 following references: KSG-15, KSG-16 and KSG-17, and KSG-21. Advantageously the amount of silicone agent in a composition of the invention is from 20 to 95% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, 10 preferably from 20 to 90% by weight. The amount of silicone agent in a composition of the invention may vary substantially, in particular depending on the viscosity of the desired composition. Advantageously the amount of organopoly 15 siloxane elastomer in a composition of the invention is from 5 to 80% by weight relative to the total weight of the composition, preferably from 10 to 40% by weight. As indicated above, the preferred silicone agent is "ST Elastomer 10*" from Dow Corning, a 20 commercial product composed of an organopolysiloxane elastomer present at a concentration of 12% in a decamethylcyclopentasiloxane oil (approximately 85%). The composition according to the invention may further comprise various other ingredients. The 25 selection of these supplementary ingredients, like that of their respective amounts, is made so as not to do detriment to the expected properties of the WO 2005/123092 PCT/EP2005/007974 20 composition. In other words these compounds must not adversely affect the chemical stability of the active principles or their solubility. According to one advantageous embodiment of 5 the invention the composition further comprises an antioxidant selected from the group consisting of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA), DL-alpha-tocopherol, superoxide dismutase, ubiquinol or certain chelating agents such 10 as disodium edetate. According to another advantageous embodiment the composition further comprises an oily additive selected from the group consisting of isopropyl palmitate, dicaprylyl ether, dimethicone or mixtures 15 thereof. In the compositions of the invention the addition of an oily additive makes it possible to avoid fluffing and to have a light, more substantive residue from the standpoint of the treatment of psoriasis. 20 The composition of the invention may further comprise one or more pharmaceutical excipients suitable for topical application. By way of examples of pharmaceutical excipients suitable for topical application mention may 25 be made of: - wetting agents; - flavour enhancers; WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 21 - stabilizers; - moisture regulators; - pH regulators; - osmotic pressure modifiers; 5 - emulsifiers; - UV-A and UV-B filters; - penetration promoters; - and synthetic polymers. As will be appreciated, the person skilled in 10 the art will ensure that any compound or compounds to be added to these compositions will be selected such that the advantageous properties intrinsically attached to the present invention are not, or not substantially, adversely affected by the intended addition. 15 According to one advantageous embodiment of the invention the composition is in the form of an ointment, gel, cream or unguent. Preferably the compositions of the invention are in the form of an ointment. For the purposes of the 20 present invention and in accordance with the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) an ointment is a semisolid preparation intended for external application to the skin or mucosae. Ointments or unguents are used topically for numerous applications, for example as 25 barrier creams, antiseptic creams, emollient creams, etc. Ointments are used for their emollient effect; they are simple to apply and readily penetrate the WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 22 skin. Advantageously the compositions according to the invention prove, following application, to be exempt from effects of stickiness, greasiness and shine 5 and instead to provide a soft feel. This new type of ointment enhances absorption through the skin, leaves a non-greasy powdery residue and provides ease of application, allowing improvement in the adherence by the patient to his or her treatment. Moreover, one 10 advantageous aspect of this composition is the absence of preservative. Additionally the inventive compositions show themselves to be particularly effective for preserving satisfactory chemical stability of the active 15 principles which are sensitive to oxidation, to water and to aqueous environments in general. The term "satisfactory chemical stability" applies to a composition which, over a period of at least three months, respectively at ambient temperature and at 20 40*C: - does not present any substantial modification of its macroscopic appearance, - has an active principles content of at least 80%, in particular at least 90% and more particularly 25 at least 95% of the initial weight content. The present invention likewise pertains to the use of a silicone agent comprising at least one WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 23 organopolysiloxane elastomer for preparing an anhydrous pharmaceutical composition intended for the treatment of psoriasis, the said composition comprising as active principles vitamin D or a vitamin D derivative and a 5 corticosteroid, the said active principles each being in a solubilized form. In the abovementioned use the pharmaceutical composition is as defined above. According to one advantageous embodiment of 10 the invention the composition is prepared cold, in other words at ambient temperature between 20 0 C and 25'C. The composition is prepared by mixing at least two distinct phases: a phase comprising at least the silicone agent and a phase comprising at least the 15 active principles and the solvent or solvents of the said active principles. The examples below illustrate the invention; they do not limit it in any way whatsoever. 20 Example 1: Solubility and stability tests on the active principles The stability of calcitriol was tested in various solvents, including ethanol 100 and a 75%/25% 25 ethanol 100/cyclomethicone mixture. a) Stability of calcitriol in ethanol WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 24 A 30 ppm solution of calcitriol in absolute ethanol to 100% is prepared in the presence of 0.02% of butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). 5 The results of an HPLC assay technique against a reference are indicated in table 1 below. At the starting time (TO) the calcitriol concentration is taken to be 100%. 10 Table 1: Stability T 1 week T 2 weeks T 3 weeks T 4 weeks conditions -180C 100.9% 100.5% 99.5% 99.5% +40C 97.7% 98.6% 98.1% 97.7% +30 0 C / 93.4% / 93.0% b) Stability of calcitriol in the (ethanol/cyclopenta siloxane) mixture 15 A 30 ppm solution of calcitriol in absolute ethanol to 100% is prepared in the presence of 0.02% of BHT. The results of an HPLC assay technique 20 against a reference are indicated in table 2 below. At the starting time (TO) the calcitriol concentration is taken to be 100%.

The process is carried out at ambient temperature, between 20 0 C and 25 0 C. a) First step: Preparation of the phase comprising the 15 silicone agent (phase A) The constituents of phase A are weighed out into a beaker: Elastomer ST 10*, silicone oil and oily additive. 20 These constituents are homogenized until a homogeneous gel is obtained.
WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 26 b) Second step: Preparation of the phase comprising the active principles (phase B) A stock solution is prepared which comprises 5 a vitamin D derivative in an appropriate solvent and an antioxidant. The solution is stirred until the active dissolves. The corticosteroid is weighed out and placed in its solvent. The solution is stirred until the 10 active dissolves. The two active phases are incorporated into phase A with stirring. The mixture is homogenized. When the solvent is the same for both active principles, the corticosteroid is added to the stock 15 solution of the vitamin D derivative.

Conclusion: At ambient temperature the macroscopic 10 observation makes it possible to ensure the physical integrity of the compositions and the microscopic observation makes it possible to verify that there is no recrystallization of the solubilized active principles.
WO 2005/123092 PCTIEP2005/007974 28 At 4 0 C the microscopic observation verifies the non-recrystallization of the solubilized active principles. At 40'C the macroscopic observation verifies 5 the integrity of the final composition. Characterization of the final composition is completed with a measurement of the flow point. A Haake rheometer of type VT550 is used with a SVDIN measuring spindle. The rheograms are performed at 25'C and at a 10 shear rate of 4 s 1 (y), measuring the shearing stress. By flow point (tO expressed in pascals) is meant the force required (minimum shearing stress) to overcome the van der Waals cohesion forces and bring about the flow. The flow point is taken to be the value found at 15 a shear rate of 4 s'. These measurements are carried out at TO and after 1, 2 and 3 months. These measurement techniques show that the composition of the invention is stable at least for 1 20 month at 4 0 C and 40 0 C.
