Description
Pharmaceutical composition The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the application in human and animals with the generic part of patent claim 1.
Pharmaceutical compositions for the application in human and animal, which contain at least one systemically and/or locally acting, topically applicable active ingredient, are already known for a long time.
For example the EP 0 704 206 A describes such a pharmaceutical composition, which is present as a liquid and is able to be topically sprayed on as droplets. Also such a pharmaceutical composition is known from the DE 10 2010 027 315, which is present as a liquid and is applied topically as a foam in human and animal, whereby both known compositions unanimously comprise a phospholipid, which contains phosphatidylcholine in a concentration of at least 60 Wo by weight, referring to the total content of phospholipid. The oil content of this phospholipid is neither quantified in EP 0 704 206 nor in DE 10 2010 027 315 A. Although EP 0 704 206 mentions a concentration of 9 % by weight of other not clarified common accompanying lipids for the there described phospholipidic gel forming agent, but it does not say how these

Although EP 0 704 206 mentions a concentration of 9 % by weight of other not clarified common accompanying lipids for the there described phospholipidic gel forming agent, but it does not say how these
2 accompanying lipids are determined, whereas DE 10 2010 027 315 A1 indeed describes oily components, but also does not explain how these oily components are analyzed quantitatively.
The object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical composition of the stated art, which has an especially high ability for permeation of pharmaceutical active ingredients.
This object is solved according to the invention by a composition having the characteristics of patent claim 1.

It is particularly suitable if the phospholipid in the inventive use contains a concentration of lyso-phosphatidylcholine of less than 5.6 Wo by weight, of phosphatidylethanolamine of less than 5.2 Wo by weight and of phosphatidic acid of less than 2.9 % by weight.
Especially the phospholipid in the inventive use contains such an oil which comprises free fatty acids, sterols, mono- and diglycerides, triglycerides, tocopherol and/or fatty acid esters.

Following, the inventive composition and the inventive use will be clarified by means of examples in connection with the figures.
Quantitative determination of the oil contained in the phospholipid The phospholipid, which should be analyzed, is weighed, solved in about ml to 20 ml diethyl ether and separated quantitatively on a chromatography column, as it is described in the following, using about 130 ml to 150 ml diethyl ether as eluent. The whole ether eluate is 10 collected in a previously weighed round bottom flask. Subsequently the collected diethyl ether eluate is distilled of in a rotation steamer under vacuum and the round bottom flask with the oils present therein is weighed again after air-conditioning in standard atmosphere, whereby the oil-free phospholipids are adsorbed in the column by the adsorbent and
The present invention is further directed to the use of at least one phospholipid as permeation- and/or penetration enhancer in a pharmaceutical composition as this is described before as inventive pharmaceutical composition, being used in human and animals containing at least one systematically and/or locally acting topically applicable active ingredient. To transport this active ingredient through the cell membranes the inventive use designates that the phospholipid containing the phosphatidylcholine in a concentration of at least 60 % by weight, relative to the phospholipid, comprises further oil in a concentration of maximum 7.5 % by weight to 2 % by weight. Hereby this pharmaceutical composition has such a fluid consistency that it is sprayable as droplets or as foam.
The inventive use analogous or identical covers all the advantages as they are described before in connection with the inventive pharmaceutical composition, so that to avoid repetitions reference is expressly made thereto. Especially it is to point out that it was surprisingly shown that the oil concentration has an important influence of the penetration and permeation behavior of the at least one active ingredient. The active ingredient used in a topical application is transported faster in or through 5 the respective barrier, preferably through the skin, the scalp, the coat, the nails, the hairs, the teeths, the hooves, the mucous membrane of mouth, nose, vagina or foreskin, thought the parts of the ear, the part of the bowel outlet and the rectum, the part of the eyes, especially the part under the eyelid.
The elevated penetration- and/or permeation improvement is then to determine at the most if the oil concentration in the phophoslipid is between 7.5 % by weight and 2 % by weight preferably between 5.8 %
by weight and 2 % by weight and especially between 4 % by weight and 2 % by weight, as this is distinctly demonstrated in detail in the figures 2 and 3 of the examples.
A privilegated embodiment of the inventive proposes that hereby the phospholipid is a mixture of phospholipids that further contains besides phosphatidylcholin, lyso-phosphatidylcholin, phosphatid acid, phosphatidylethanolamine and/or phosphatidylinositol.
Preferably the phospholipid applied during the inventive use is such a phospholipid, which is isolated from vegetable components, especially from grain seeds and/or oil-rich seeds and preferably from soy beans or from sunflowers.
Especially when for the inventive use the phospholipid comprises a concentration of phosphatidylcholine of at least 75 Wo by weight the afore described improvements of the penetration- and permeation behavior is further enlarged whereby this concentration and the following concentrations refers to the dry weight of the respectively phospholipid.
It is particularly suitable if the phospholipid in the inventive use contains a concentration of lyso-phosphatidylcholine of less than 5.6 Wo by weight, of phosphatidylethanolamine of less than 5.2 Wo by weight and of phosphatidic acid of less than 2.9 % by weight.
Especially the phospholipid in the inventive use contains such an oil which comprises free fatty acids, sterols, mono- and diglycerides, triglycerides, tocopherol and/or fatty acid esters.
Advantageous embodiments of the inventive composition and the inventive use are described in the sub-claims.
Following, the inventive composition and the inventive use will be clarified by means of examples in connection with the figures.
Quantitative determination of the oil contained in the phospholipid The phospholipid, which should be analyzed, is weighed, solved in about ml to 20 ml diethyl ether and separated quantitatively on a chromatography column, as it is described in the following, using about 130 ml to 150 ml diethyl ether as eluent. The whole ether eluate is 10 collected in a previously weighed round bottom flask. Subsequently the collected diethyl ether eluate is distilled of in a rotation steamer under vacuum and the round bottom flask with the oils present therein is weighed again after air-conditioning in standard atmosphere, whereby the oil-free phospholipids are adsorbed in the column by the adsorbent and
15 remain there. Out of this the percentage of the oil contained in the phospholipid is calculated as follows:
E = weight of sample taken of phospholipid base substance [g]
LK = dead weight of the round bottom flask [g]
R = backweight of the round bottom flask after distillation off the diethyl ether and storage under standard atmosphere [g]
Ö = percentage of oil in the phospholipid base substance R - LK x 100 Ö= E {0/0]
The previously stated weight values in gram were determined on an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.0001 g, whereby the phospholipid base substance, which should be analyzed, is weighed precisely in a magnitude of about 1 g.
For the preparation of the columns, it is preceded as follows:
The silica gel, used as adsorbent (silica gel 60, 0.063 - 0.2 mm, for example manufacturer: Merck, article number 7754) is initially adjusted to a constant water content of 14.3 % by weight. For this purpose the water content of the particular used silica gel is determined by Karl-Fischer-titration in advance, and the missing amount of water for the obtaining of the water content of 14.3 % by weight is added. From the so treated silica gel the water content is determined again by Karl-Fischer-titration, so that it is assured that the silica gel has a water content of 14.3 % by weight.
30 g of the silica gel, which is adjusted to a water content of 14.3 % by weight is suspended in diethyl ether and brought in the chromatography column, which has a diameter of 25 mm. The surplus ether is drained out of the column as far as an about 1 cm high ether layer stays above the adsorbent. On the so prepared column the sample, which should be analyzed, is applied and separated, like it is described at the beginning.
All solvents, used in this analyze, are present in p.a. - purity.
Production of phospholipid with different oil content The previously described analytical and gravimetric method for the determination of the quantitative oil content was modified in such a way, that the there described separation by column chromatography of the oil was now applied as preparative separation by column chromatography to produce the following described phospholipid, which are denoted with phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their oil content.
Therefore it was preceded as follows:
4,500 g of the silica gel, which is adjusted to a water content of 14.3 %
by weight is suspended in diethyl ether and brought in a preparative chromatography column, whereby the water content of the silica gel was adjusted and controlled like it is described previously in connection with the quantitative determination of the oil content of the phospholipid. The surplus ether is drained out of the column as far as an about 1 cm high ether layer stays above the absorbent. On the so prepared column the phospholipid sample, which should be preparative separated and which is 5 solved in about 2.5 l diethyl ether (weight of sample taken about 150 g) is applied and separated, as it is also described initially in connection with the quantitative determination of the oil. The collected diethyl ether eluate is distilled off in vacuum thereby extracting the so isolated oil. Hereby about 140 g oil can be isolated.
The adsorbent, which is loaded with the oil-free phospholipid was removed out of the preparative column and the diethyl ether was carefully removed.
The so dried absorbent was extracted several times with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2:1; V:V), whereby the extractions which contained the oil-free phospholipid, was combined. After the careful separation of the mixture of solvents the so isolated dry phospholipid was weighed after forming five, referring to the phospholipid similar concentrated samples and solved in ethanol. The oil extracted previously during the separation with diethyl ether was added to each of the five ethanolic phospholipid solutions in the given quantities (2 % by weight, 4 % by weight, 5.8 % by weight, 7.5 % by weight, 9 % by weight) , after this oil was previously solved in ethanol, too. After intensive mixing of every oil-free phospholipid with the oil, the ethanol was removed under formation of the following quantified phospholipid 1 to 5, whereby these phospholipids 1 to 5 were used for the production of the embodiments 1 tO 10.
Thereby the five different phospholipid samples showed the following oil content;
Phospholipid 1, oil content 7.5 % by weight Phospholipid 2, oil content 5.8 % by weight Phospholipid 3, oil content 4 % by weight Phospholipid 4, oil content 2 % by weight and Phospholipid 5, oil content 9 % by weight.
All five phospholipids (phospholipid 1 to 5) contains the concentration of Phosphatidylcholine 76 3 % by weight, lyso-phosphatidylcholine 5_ 6 % by weight phosphatidylamine 6 % by weight and phosphatidic acid 6 Wo by weight, whereby these data refers to the dry weight of the phospholipid.
Furthermore, all phospholipids showed an acid value of less than 10 and a peroxide value of less than 10, too.
The following examples 1 to 10 were produced under the use of the previously described phospholipids 1 to 5.
Congruently the examples 1 to 5 each contain 10 % by weight of ketoprofen as pharmaceutical active ingredient and the examples 6 to 10 each contain 4 % by weight of diclofenac sodium as pharmaceutical active ingredient.
Furthermore the examples 1 to 5 each contain 59.48 % by weight of water, 10 % by weight of propylene glycol, 8 % by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 0.25 % by weight of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dihydrate, 0.57 % by weight of disodium phosphate, dodeca hydrate, 1.55 % by weight of sodium hydroxide solution and 0.15 Wo by weight of peppermint oil.
The examples 1 to 5 only differ in the fact, that they indeed show identical amounts of the previously described and specified phospholipid, viz. 10 %
by weight, whereby it is bargained for the previously listed phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their concentration of oil as follows:
Example 1 contains 10 '3/0 by weight of phospholipid 1 (oil content 7.5 % by weight) Example 2 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 2 (oil content 5.8 % by weight) Example 3 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 3 (oil content 4 % by weight) Example 4 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 4 (oil content 2 % by weight) Example 5 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 5 (oil content 9 % by weight) The previously listed 10 % by weight of the phospholipids 1 to 5 each contain 7.5 Wo by weight of phospholipid 1 to 5 and 2.5 Wo by weight of absolute ethanol.
Moreover the examples 6 to 10 each contain 56.38 % by weight of water, 15 % by weight of propylene glycol, 10.25 Wo by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 0.12 % by weight of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dihydrate, 0.20 % by weight of peppermint oil, 0.66 % by weight of disodium phosphate, dodeca hydrate, 0.04 A) by weight of disodium edetate, 0.02 % by weight of palmitoyl ascorbic acid.
The examples 6 to 10 only differ in the fact, that they indeed show identical amount of the preciously described phospholipid, viz. 13.33 % by weight, whereby it is bargained for the previously listed phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their oil concentration:
Example 6 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 1 (oil content 7.5 % by weight) Example 7 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 2 (oil content 5.8 % by weight) Example 8 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 3 (oil content 4 Wo by weight) Example 9 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 4 (oil content 2 Wo by weight) Example 10 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 5 (oil content 9 Wo by weight) The previously listed 13.33 Wo by weight of the phospholipids 1 to 5 each contain 9.998 Wo by weight of phospholipid 1 to 5 and 3.332 % by weight of absolute ethanol.
For all examples 1 to 5, that contain ketoprofen as active ingredient, an identical manufacturing process was used. Therefore ketoprofen, propylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol were mixed in a mixing container, 5 whereby this mixing process was run in the presence of nitrogen or argon.
About 90 % by weight of the amount of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, as well as the disodium phosphate and the sodium hydroxide solution were mixed together.
The previously firstly produced mixture was added with the particular phospholipid (phospholipid 1 to 5) with a temperature between 20 C and 25 C and afterwards mixed so long until a clear, yellowish solution resulted. Then the previously mixed buffer solution, which is described previously as second, was added to this yellowish clear solution, whereby the solutions were mixed with a temperature of maximum 30 C (in the presence of argon or nitrogen) until a homogeneous solution resulted, to which the remaining buffer solution and the peppermint oil was added and whose pH-value was adjusted to a value between 7.3 and 7.5.
For all examples 6 to 10 containing diclofenac-sodium as active ingredient, an identical manufacturing process was used. Therefore about 90 Wo by weight of the water (purified water) was mixed with the disodium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and the sodium-edetate under a temperature between 25 C and 30 C and a number of revolutions of 600 revolutions per minute. The so prepared solution was cooled to 20 C and 25 C.
In a second mixing container the propylene glycol, the isopropyl alcohol and the particular phospholipid (phospholipid 1 to 5) were mixed under careful stirring, until it became a homogeneous solution. The ascorbylpalmitate and the diclofenac-sodium were added to this mixture under maintenance of the stirring. The so prepared homogeneous solution was mixed until a clear solution resulted, which was added with peppermint oil under constant stirring. After measurement of the pH-value, this was adjusted to a value between pH 7.4 - 7.6 trough addition of sodium hydroxide or diluted hydrochloric acid. During the production the temperature was kept constantly between 20 C and 30 C.
Permeation study of the previously described examples 1 to 10 The consecutively described in situ-model shown in figure 1 is especially suitable for the comparative determination of the rate of permeation. The experience of many in vivo-experiments on young pigs and on test persons underlies this model. It was developed in consideration of the most relevant in-vivo conditions and could already be approved several times, so that it was validated with corresponding in-vivo studies with test persons.
In the experimental setup for the determination of the permeation, shown in figure 1, 90 ml of the acceptor medium 13, which is covered underneath the skin sample that should be examined with a metal grille 12, is tempered to 35 C and transferred continuously through pump 1 with 1000 ml/h. The permeation chamber 5, which is filled with the acceptor medium 13 has a volume of 50 ml, the compensation vessel 3 for the sampling and the tubes 4 has a total volume of 40 ml. The lumen can be filled with various, skin-physiological solutions. Authoritative for the choice of the acceptor medium is the solubility of the active ingredient and its verification.
For the active ingredient ketoprofen a phosphate buffer solution with pH
7.4 and for the active ingredient diclofenac-sodium a phosphate buffer solution with pH 8.0 was chosen. The choice of the acceptor medium takes into consideration of the setting conditions for the particular active ingredient.
The chamber 5 was filled free of bubbles, so that a complete and steady undercutting of the tissue can happen. The area of the application 7 amounts to 28.3 cm2. The sampling was made intermittently through manual removal from the circulating medium and following automatically collection of the samples for the HPLC. The duration of the experiment was limited to 8 hours, whereby particular suitable samples of the acceptor medium were taken and analyzed at the beginning, after 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, four hours, six hours and 8 hours.
Due to the positioning of the air flow, the flow velocity of the induced, tempered air and the turbulence on the skin area the stratum corneum is not hydrated in the used experimental setup, which is shown in figure 1.
An air circulation conduced therefore, which provides for an air supply of 300 ml air/minute at 23 C through a circuit 8, a feeding in a hood 9, which is located above the application area 7 and in which a ventilator 10 ensures an air turbulence, and return air circuits 11 for the return of the air.
The particular skin sample, which should be examined, was applied on the metal grille 12, covered with the hood 9 (without occlusion), circulated with the air flow, which is swirled by the ventilator 10. The skin sample applied on the metal grille 12 is impinged with the particular composition, whereby the method of measurement for the determination of the permeation is described consecutively. For keeping the air temperature and the temperature of the acceptor medium constantly, the temperature control 2, which is only designated schematically, is used, as a hood 6 covers the measuring arrangement especially for the prevention of The in situ experiments were executed with excorporated human abdominal skin from different donors. The donors were between 40 and 50 years old. The studies were carried out with surgically removed, varied. That implies the execution of four tests per human skin flap.
The application area available for the application amounted for 28.3 cm2.
The skin was taken fresh, transported dryly and chilled to 4 C. After 2 without occlusion. The conditioning was achieved by the regulation of the pre-heating temperature and the tempering of the air tubes, as well as by the velocity of the air flow, which skims over the sample area. These parameters were kept constantly within one test series. The skin sample 5 was undermined steadily circulating by the phosphate buffer. The temperature of the skin sample was checked by probes and the humidity was checked by the corneometer. The supply of the skin sample took place by the phosphate buffer. A possible contamination of the skin with the disinfectant phenylmercuroborate was considered in the analytics.
The liquid composition was distributed evenly on the application area of 28.3 cm2 with a microdispenser (round pistil!). Five minutes after the first application, a distribution of the applied composition on the skin sample was made again.
At the application of up to 1 g composition per 28.3 cm2 application area no surplus of the particular composition on the skin surface in the range of the application area was noticeable.
The permeation profile of ketoprofen and diclofenac-sodium were made by the taking of duplicates samples after 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. The determination of the ketoprofen and the diclofenac-sodium occurs following directly after the sampling through an auto sampler. For the evaluation of the permeation of the particular active ingredient its concentration in the acceptor medium was determined.
Therefore the concentration of the ketoprofen was determined by high pressure chromatography (HPLC-column, Xterra RP 18 5 pm, 4.6 x 150 mm - mode: isocratic - flow: 1.0 mL.min-1, flow substance:
H20/CAN/KH2PO4, pH of the buffer 3.5 (55:43:2 (v/v/v)), buffer: p.a.
chemicals + deionized water; flow substance not degassed) by using the UV-detector (UV-detector Waters Alliance 2795 with detector Waters 2487 dual wavelength 254 nm).
The determination of the concentration of the diclofenac-sodium also occurs by high pressure chromatography by using an UV-detector (HPLC-system with the components as follows: HPLC-pump Merck/Hitachi L-6200, (ternary / low-pressure gradient), UV-detector Merck/Hitachi L-4000, double beam instrument, measurement range 195 - 380 nm, Integrator Merck/Hitachi D-2500, HPLC-column: LiChrospher 100 (Merck), RP18 (5u.m), 250 mm length, LiChroCART-cartidge system, flow substance: methanol/citrate buffer (3/1); flow substance not degassed).
The results of the previously described permeation study for the active ingredient ketoprofen are summarized in the following table 1 and in the relating figure 2 and the results for the active ingredient diclofenac-sodium are summarized in the following table 2 and the relating figure 3.
In all examinations always the same, previously stated amount of the composition was applied on the skin sample, which correspond to a concentration of the active ingredient of about 25 mg ketoprofen, respectively of about 10 mg diclofenac-sodium. The reported values particularly correspond to the average value of four tests.

The previously stated weight values in gram were determined on an analytical balance with an accuracy of 0.0001 g, whereby the phospholipid base substance, which should be analyzed, is weighed precisely in a magnitude of about 1 g.
For the preparation of the columns, it is preceded as follows:
The silica gel, used as adsorbent (silica gel 60, 0.063 - 0.2 mm, for example manufacturer: Merck, article number 7754) is initially adjusted to a constant water content of 14.3 % by weight. For this purpose the water content of the particular used silica gel is determined by Karl-Fischer-titration in advance, and the missing amount of water for the obtaining of the water content of 14.3 % by weight is added. From the so treated silica gel the water content is determined again by Karl-Fischer-titration, so that it is assured that the silica gel has a water content of 14.3 % by weight.
30 g of the silica gel, which is adjusted to a water content of 14.3 % by weight is suspended in diethyl ether and brought in the chromatography column, which has a diameter of 25 mm. The surplus ether is drained out of the column as far as an about 1 cm high ether layer stays above the adsorbent. On the so prepared column the sample, which should be analyzed, is applied and separated, like it is described at the beginning.
All solvents, used in this analyze, are present in p.a. - purity.
Production of phospholipid with different oil content The previously described analytical and gravimetric method for the determination of the quantitative oil content was modified in such a way, that the there described separation by column chromatography of the oil was now applied as preparative separation by column chromatography to produce the following described phospholipid, which are denoted with phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their oil content.
Therefore it was preceded as follows:
4,500 g of the silica gel, which is adjusted to a water content of 14.3 %
by weight is suspended in diethyl ether and brought in a preparative chromatography column, whereby the water content of the silica gel was adjusted and controlled like it is described previously in connection with the quantitative determination of the oil content of the phospholipid. The surplus ether is drained out of the column as far as an about 1 cm high ether layer stays above the absorbent. On the so prepared column the phospholipid sample, which should be preparative separated and which is 5 solved in about 2.5 l diethyl ether (weight of sample taken about 150 g) is applied and separated, as it is also described initially in connection with the quantitative determination of the oil. The collected diethyl ether eluate is distilled off in vacuum thereby extracting the so isolated oil. Hereby about 140 g oil can be isolated.
The adsorbent, which is loaded with the oil-free phospholipid was removed out of the preparative column and the diethyl ether was carefully removed.
The so dried absorbent was extracted several times with a mixture of chloroform and methanol (2:1; V:V), whereby the extractions which contained the oil-free phospholipid, was combined. After the careful separation of the mixture of solvents the so isolated dry phospholipid was weighed after forming five, referring to the phospholipid similar concentrated samples and solved in ethanol. The oil extracted previously during the separation with diethyl ether was added to each of the five ethanolic phospholipid solutions in the given quantities (2 % by weight, 4 % by weight, 5.8 % by weight, 7.5 % by weight, 9 % by weight) , after this oil was previously solved in ethanol, too. After intensive mixing of every oil-free phospholipid with the oil, the ethanol was removed under formation of the following quantified phospholipid 1 to 5, whereby these phospholipids 1 to 5 were used for the production of the embodiments 1 tO 10.
Thereby the five different phospholipid samples showed the following oil content;
Phospholipid 1, oil content 7.5 % by weight Phospholipid 2, oil content 5.8 % by weight Phospholipid 3, oil content 4 % by weight Phospholipid 4, oil content 2 % by weight and Phospholipid 5, oil content 9 % by weight.
All five phospholipids (phospholipid 1 to 5) contains the concentration of Phosphatidylcholine 76 3 % by weight, lyso-phosphatidylcholine 5_ 6 % by weight phosphatidylamine 6 % by weight and phosphatidic acid 6 Wo by weight, whereby these data refers to the dry weight of the phospholipid.
Furthermore, all phospholipids showed an acid value of less than 10 and a peroxide value of less than 10, too.
The following examples 1 to 10 were produced under the use of the previously described phospholipids 1 to 5.
Congruently the examples 1 to 5 each contain 10 % by weight of ketoprofen as pharmaceutical active ingredient and the examples 6 to 10 each contain 4 % by weight of diclofenac sodium as pharmaceutical active ingredient.
Furthermore the examples 1 to 5 each contain 59.48 % by weight of water, 10 % by weight of propylene glycol, 8 % by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 0.25 % by weight of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dihydrate, 0.57 % by weight of disodium phosphate, dodeca hydrate, 1.55 % by weight of sodium hydroxide solution and 0.15 Wo by weight of peppermint oil.
The examples 1 to 5 only differ in the fact, that they indeed show identical amounts of the previously described and specified phospholipid, viz. 10 %
by weight, whereby it is bargained for the previously listed phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their concentration of oil as follows:
Example 1 contains 10 '3/0 by weight of phospholipid 1 (oil content 7.5 % by weight) Example 2 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 2 (oil content 5.8 % by weight) Example 3 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 3 (oil content 4 % by weight) Example 4 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 4 (oil content 2 % by weight) Example 5 contains 10 % by weight of phospholipid 5 (oil content 9 % by weight) The previously listed 10 % by weight of the phospholipids 1 to 5 each contain 7.5 Wo by weight of phospholipid 1 to 5 and 2.5 Wo by weight of absolute ethanol.
Moreover the examples 6 to 10 each contain 56.38 % by weight of water, 15 % by weight of propylene glycol, 10.25 Wo by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 0.12 % by weight of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, dihydrate, 0.20 % by weight of peppermint oil, 0.66 % by weight of disodium phosphate, dodeca hydrate, 0.04 A) by weight of disodium edetate, 0.02 % by weight of palmitoyl ascorbic acid.
The examples 6 to 10 only differ in the fact, that they indeed show identical amount of the preciously described phospholipid, viz. 13.33 % by weight, whereby it is bargained for the previously listed phospholipid 1 to 5, which differ in their oil concentration:
Example 6 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 1 (oil content 7.5 % by weight) Example 7 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 2 (oil content 5.8 % by weight) Example 8 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 3 (oil content 4 Wo by weight) Example 9 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 4 (oil content 2 Wo by weight) Example 10 contains 13.33 % by weight of phospholipid 5 (oil content 9 Wo by weight) The previously listed 13.33 Wo by weight of the phospholipids 1 to 5 each contain 9.998 Wo by weight of phospholipid 1 to 5 and 3.332 % by weight of absolute ethanol.
For all examples 1 to 5, that contain ketoprofen as active ingredient, an identical manufacturing process was used. Therefore ketoprofen, propylene glycol and isopropyl alcohol were mixed in a mixing container, 5 whereby this mixing process was run in the presence of nitrogen or argon.
About 90 % by weight of the amount of sodium dihydrogen phosphate, as well as the disodium phosphate and the sodium hydroxide solution were mixed together.
The previously firstly produced mixture was added with the particular phospholipid (phospholipid 1 to 5) with a temperature between 20 C and 25 C and afterwards mixed so long until a clear, yellowish solution resulted. Then the previously mixed buffer solution, which is described previously as second, was added to this yellowish clear solution, whereby the solutions were mixed with a temperature of maximum 30 C (in the presence of argon or nitrogen) until a homogeneous solution resulted, to which the remaining buffer solution and the peppermint oil was added and whose pH-value was adjusted to a value between 7.3 and 7.5.
For all examples 6 to 10 containing diclofenac-sodium as active ingredient, an identical manufacturing process was used. Therefore about 90 Wo by weight of the water (purified water) was mixed with the disodium phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate and the sodium-edetate under a temperature between 25 C and 30 C and a number of revolutions of 600 revolutions per minute. The so prepared solution was cooled to 20 C and 25 C.
In a second mixing container the propylene glycol, the isopropyl alcohol and the particular phospholipid (phospholipid 1 to 5) were mixed under careful stirring, until it became a homogeneous solution. The ascorbylpalmitate and the diclofenac-sodium were added to this mixture under maintenance of the stirring. The so prepared homogeneous solution was mixed until a clear solution resulted, which was added with peppermint oil under constant stirring. After measurement of the pH-value, this was adjusted to a value between pH 7.4 - 7.6 trough addition of sodium hydroxide or diluted hydrochloric acid. During the production the temperature was kept constantly between 20 C and 30 C.
Permeation study of the previously described examples 1 to 10 The consecutively described in situ-model shown in figure 1 is especially suitable for the comparative determination of the rate of permeation. The experience of many in vivo-experiments on young pigs and on test persons underlies this model. It was developed in consideration of the most relevant in-vivo conditions and could already be approved several times, so that it was validated with corresponding in-vivo studies with test persons.
In the experimental setup for the determination of the permeation, shown in figure 1, 90 ml of the acceptor medium 13, which is covered underneath the skin sample that should be examined with a metal grille 12, is tempered to 35 C and transferred continuously through pump 1 with 1000 ml/h. The permeation chamber 5, which is filled with the acceptor medium 13 has a volume of 50 ml, the compensation vessel 3 for the sampling and the tubes 4 has a total volume of 40 ml. The lumen can be filled with various, skin-physiological solutions. Authoritative for the choice of the acceptor medium is the solubility of the active ingredient and its verification.
For the active ingredient ketoprofen a phosphate buffer solution with pH
7.4 and for the active ingredient diclofenac-sodium a phosphate buffer solution with pH 8.0 was chosen. The choice of the acceptor medium takes into consideration of the setting conditions for the particular active ingredient.
The chamber 5 was filled free of bubbles, so that a complete and steady undercutting of the tissue can happen. The area of the application 7 amounts to 28.3 cm2. The sampling was made intermittently through manual removal from the circulating medium and following automatically collection of the samples for the HPLC. The duration of the experiment was limited to 8 hours, whereby particular suitable samples of the acceptor medium were taken and analyzed at the beginning, after 30 minutes, one hour, two hours, four hours, six hours and 8 hours.
Due to the positioning of the air flow, the flow velocity of the induced, tempered air and the turbulence on the skin area the stratum corneum is not hydrated in the used experimental setup, which is shown in figure 1.
An air circulation conduced therefore, which provides for an air supply of 300 ml air/minute at 23 C through a circuit 8, a feeding in a hood 9, which is located above the application area 7 and in which a ventilator 10 ensures an air turbulence, and return air circuits 11 for the return of the air.
The particular skin sample, which should be examined, was applied on the metal grille 12, covered with the hood 9 (without occlusion), circulated with the air flow, which is swirled by the ventilator 10. The skin sample applied on the metal grille 12 is impinged with the particular composition, whereby the method of measurement for the determination of the permeation is described consecutively. For keeping the air temperature and the temperature of the acceptor medium constantly, the temperature control 2, which is only designated schematically, is used, as a hood 6 covers the measuring arrangement especially for the prevention of The in situ experiments were executed with excorporated human abdominal skin from different donors. The donors were between 40 and 50 years old. The studies were carried out with surgically removed, varied. That implies the execution of four tests per human skin flap.
The application area available for the application amounted for 28.3 cm2.
The skin was taken fresh, transported dryly and chilled to 4 C. After 2 without occlusion. The conditioning was achieved by the regulation of the pre-heating temperature and the tempering of the air tubes, as well as by the velocity of the air flow, which skims over the sample area. These parameters were kept constantly within one test series. The skin sample 5 was undermined steadily circulating by the phosphate buffer. The temperature of the skin sample was checked by probes and the humidity was checked by the corneometer. The supply of the skin sample took place by the phosphate buffer. A possible contamination of the skin with the disinfectant phenylmercuroborate was considered in the analytics.
The liquid composition was distributed evenly on the application area of 28.3 cm2 with a microdispenser (round pistil!). Five minutes after the first application, a distribution of the applied composition on the skin sample was made again.
At the application of up to 1 g composition per 28.3 cm2 application area no surplus of the particular composition on the skin surface in the range of the application area was noticeable.
The permeation profile of ketoprofen and diclofenac-sodium were made by the taking of duplicates samples after 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. The determination of the ketoprofen and the diclofenac-sodium occurs following directly after the sampling through an auto sampler. For the evaluation of the permeation of the particular active ingredient its concentration in the acceptor medium was determined.
Therefore the concentration of the ketoprofen was determined by high pressure chromatography (HPLC-column, Xterra RP 18 5 pm, 4.6 x 150 mm - mode: isocratic - flow: 1.0 mL.min-1, flow substance:
H20/CAN/KH2PO4, pH of the buffer 3.5 (55:43:2 (v/v/v)), buffer: p.a.
chemicals + deionized water; flow substance not degassed) by using the UV-detector (UV-detector Waters Alliance 2795 with detector Waters 2487 dual wavelength 254 nm).
The determination of the concentration of the diclofenac-sodium also occurs by high pressure chromatography by using an UV-detector (HPLC-system with the components as follows: HPLC-pump Merck/Hitachi L-6200, (ternary / low-pressure gradient), UV-detector Merck/Hitachi L-4000, double beam instrument, measurement range 195 - 380 nm, Integrator Merck/Hitachi D-2500, HPLC-column: LiChrospher 100 (Merck), RP18 (5u.m), 250 mm length, LiChroCART-cartidge system, flow substance: methanol/citrate buffer (3/1); flow substance not degassed).
The results of the previously described permeation study for the active ingredient ketoprofen are summarized in the following table 1 and in the relating figure 2 and the results for the active ingredient diclofenac-sodium are summarized in the following table 2 and the relating figure 3.
In all examinations always the same, previously stated amount of the composition was applied on the skin sample, which correspond to a concentration of the active ingredient of about 25 mg ketoprofen, respectively of about 10 mg diclofenac-sodium. The reported values particularly correspond to the average value of four tests.
