Description

THERAPEUTIC AEROSOL FORMULATIONS
Background of the Invention
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a novel therapeutic self-propelled aerosol formulation for inhalation. More particularly, it relates to a therapeutic formulation of the dispersion or suspension type comprising: a physiologically active solid drug and a solid extender or carrier for the drug suspended in a chlorofluorocarbon propellant mixture.
The present invention also relates to a process for the preparation of self-propelled aerosol formulation intended for inhalation wherein the preparative steps include: dissolving a solid drug and a solid extender or carrier in a solvent; lyophilizing the solution to obtain a powder; micronizing and suspending the powder in a propellant mixture.
The preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a self-propelled aerosol formulation for inhalation wherein the active drug is a polypeptide having calcitonin activity for the treatment of bone diseases.
Inhalation therapy involves direct deposition of medication onto the airway of a patient by the nasal or oral routes. This method of delivery of medication is therapeutically sound and is well accepted in the prior art. Among the benefits of the method are: the rapid medication effects essential in the treatment of life threatening afflictions, such as certain allergic and asthmatic conditions; the reduction of systemic side effects; convenience and cost as compared to, for example, intravenous or intramuscular administration; and self-administration of certain drugs such as the pharmaceutically active peptides that cannot be taken orally for reason of decomposition in the gastrointestinal tract.
Inhalation therapy can be used for the treatment of a variety of diseases requiring physiologically active drugs such as insulin, calcitonin, interferons, vaccines, decongestants, antiasth atics and the like.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Delivery of medication in aerosol form to a patient has been proved to be an important therapeutically sound module. Its effectiveness, however, is dependent upon several key factors including particle stability, adequate penetration and deposition into the respiratory tract, precise dosage to provide uniform results, and non-irritation to the tracheobronchial tree.
Particle penetration and deposition are believed to maximized by the use of a particle size range of from about 2 to about lOμ. Particles less than 2μ, although reach the alveoli, deposit minimally and are likely to be exhaled. Particles lOμ or greater do not enter the respiratory tract and are deposited in the oropharynx. Comminuting solid drugs to obtain the desired particle size range poses no problem in the prior art. However, the requirements of particle stability, precise dosage and non-irritation have not been, in general, quite satisfactorily met. Generally described, the heretofore proposed and/or utilized aerosol formulations, are micronized drug particles suspended in a propellant mixture. Customarily, the formulations also contain a surfactant, a solvent or a dispersing agent to prevent agglomeration or sedimentation of the suspended particles. Despite the presence of these agents the drug particles tend to form agglomerates, floating flocculants or sedimentary precipitations during extended shelf-life resulting in destruction or clogging of the dispensing mechanism, and when administered, uneven distribution and non-uniform dosage of the drug in the tracheobronchial tree of the patient. In addition, certain solvents and surfactants tend to cause irritation on extended use of the formulations.
Another major problem associated with these type of formulations is the handling and metering of the microgram quantities of the active drug required for the intended therapeutic purpose. During the manufacturing process resulting in the metering of the drug into the dispensing containers the amounts metered varies because of adsorption, absorption and agglomeration factors. To minimize this problem and also to more closely reach the optimum size range of particle size, the prior art incorporates a biologically inert or compatible particulate agent into inhalable aerosol formulations such as into bronchodilator, steroid, and nicotine formulations. While this approach is suitable to substantially solve the metering and particle size problems, it also tends to result in an unhomogeneous mixture wherein the inert particles of the extender are not uniformly and intimately mixed with the active drug particles. The lack of homogeneity is dependent on the comminuting and mixing process and will vary even from batch to batch of the product made. Respective specific gravities of the drug and the extender used will also greatly influence the homogeneity of the finished product ultimately resulting in the delivery of non- uniform dosages. It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide self-propelled therapeutic aerosol formulations for oral and/or nasal applications which satisfy the above-discussed requirements. It is a further object of the invention to provide, as the preferred embodiment, calcitonin containing self-propelled aerosol formulations for the treatment of various bone diseases. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a self-propelled therapeutic aerosol formulation for oral and/or intranasal application comprising:
a) from about 0.01 to about 5.0% w/w, and preferably from about 0.1 to about 3.0% w/w, of a homogeneous complex of at least one active drug and a pharmaceutically acceptable extender, wherein said active drug comprises from about 0.1 to about 25.0% w/w of said homogeneous drug/extender complex;
b) from about 0.1 to about 3.0% w/w of a solvent and/or surfactant; and
c) from about 92 to about 99.89% w/w of a pharmaceutically acceptable propellant mixture having a density of about 1.33 to about 1.40 gm/cc.
Wherein said homogeneous complex is insoluble in said propellant mixture and is present in the form of micronized solid particles of which at least 90% w/w has an effective particle diameter of about 2 to about lOμ and having a density of about 1.33 to about 1.40 gm/cc.
In preparing the therapeutic aerosol formulations of the present invention, the active drug and the pharmaceutically acceptable extender are dissolved in water, the resultant solution is lyophilized forming a homogeneous complex wherein the drug and extender molecules are in intimate contact with each other. The so obtained powder is comminuted to the desired particle size, then combined with a small amount of solvent and/or surfactant, followed by metering into aerosol containers and adding the propellant mixture thereto. Detailed Description of the Invention
In accordance with the present invention, the desired, self-propelled therapeutic formulations can be obtained as described above and as will be further explained and exemplified in detail.
Extenders
The extenders serve as carriers and diluents for the active drugs in the formulations and comprise about 75 to 99.9% of the drug/extender homogeneous complex. The extender must be a solid, water soluble, propellant insoluble, pharmaceutically acceptable material, so that it can be dissolved in an aqueous solution together with the active drug, lyophilized and the so obtained homogeneous complex comminuted to the desired particle size.
We have found the amino acid DL-Methionine to function extremely well in the formulations according to the present invention. However, other water soluble hydrocarbon insoluble pharmaceutically acceptable agents which are in, or can be made into, a solid form, are also applicable, such as:
a) other amino acids, including D or L-Methionine, glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, serine, cystein, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, arginine, lysine, asparagine, histidine, tryptophan and proline;
b) monosaccharides, such as, D-allose, D-altrose, fructose, galactose, glucose, inositol, D-mannose and sorbose;
c) disaccharides, such as, sucrose, cellobiose, lactose, maltose, melibiose, trehalose and turanose;
d) polysaccharides, such as, dextrin, glycogen and starch; and e) peptides and proteins, such as the widely used dipeptide, Aspartame.
Solvents and/or Surfactants
The present invention utilizes from about 0.1 to about 3.0% w/w of a solvent and/or surfactant to help maintain a stable suspension. The solvents used include alcohols, preferably ethyl alcohol; while the surfactants include nonionic, cationic and anionic surface active agents, the preferred being oleic acid.
The Propellant Mixture
The propellant mixture comprises from about 92 to about 99.89% w/w of the total formulation having a density of about 1.33 to 1.40 gm/cc and consists of a 90/10 mixture of dichlorodifluoromethane and dichlorotetrafluoroethane, or a 90/10 mixture of dichlorodifluoromethane and trichlorofluoromethane, sold under the trade names Dymel 12, Dymel 114 and Dymel 11 respectively.
The Active Drugs
The active drug comprises from about 0.1 to about 25.0% w/w of the drug/extender homogeneous complex. Drugs in solid form and drugs that can be made into a solid form and are soluble in aqueous solutions and insoluble in the hydrocarbon mixtures hereindescribed are contemplated for use in accordance with the present invention.

Calcitonin
Calcitonin is a polypeptide hormone involved in the control of calcium metabolism in the body. All known natural calcitonin peptides contain an amino acid sequence of 32 amino acids, of which the seven at the amino terminal end of the peptide chain are held in a cyclic configuration by a sulphur or carbon bridge and the carboxyl terminal residue consists of proline amide. The natural calcitonins include the salmon, eel, bovin, porcine, ovine, rat and human calcitonin. The detailed structure within the peptide chain of the hormone varies among different species and while the hormones, and their derivatives and analogues found in various species are of interest for use in the present invention, salmon calcitonin is of special interest in view of its relatively hydrophilic character and its stability. Salmon calcitonin has the following formula:
H-Cys-Ser-Asn-Leu-Ser-Thr-Cys-Val-Leu- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Gly-Lys-Leu-Ser-Gln-Glu-Leu-His-Lys-Leu- 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19

In U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,926,938, 4,062,815, 3,929,758, 4,033,940, 4,336,187, 4,388,235, 4,391,747 and 4,401,593 are disclosed improved synthesis of calcitonin including the salmon calcitonin referred to above.
Human, salmon and porcine calcitonin have been available for therapeutic use for several years. For example, synthetic salmon calcitonin is marketed by Armour Pharmaceutical Co. under the tradename CALCIMAR in a sterile, lyophilized form reconstitutable for subcutaneous or intravascular injection for the treatment of bone diseases.
The level of hypocalcemic activity of calcitonin varies from species to species. Salmon and chicken calcitonin have a potency of about 4,000 to 6,000 MCR (Medical Research Council) ϋ/mg peptide; eel calcitonin about 2,000 to 4,000 MRC U/mg peptide; rat 400 MRC ϋ/mg; while beef, sheep, hog and man about 100 to 200 MRC ϋ/mg peptide. Calcitonin used by the present invention may be obtained from Armour Pharmaceutical Co. , from natural sources, or by synthetic routes known in the art. The synthesis can be performed by classical peptide synthesis as well as by solid phase synthesis.
In addition to the above-described calcitonin, the present invention encompasses synthetic calcitonin peptides having biological activity of the same type as those above- described. Such synthetic calcitonin are disclosed, along with processes for preparation thereof in the following U.S. Pat. Nos.
