Description

Aprepitant ternary solid dispersion
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to an aprepitant ternary solid dispersion.
Background
Aprepitant (Aprepitant) is a selective high affinity antagonist of the human substance P neurokinin 1(NK 1) receptor. Having a chemical formula of C 23 H 21 F 7 N 4 O 3 The chemical name is 5- [2(R) - [1(R) - [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl group]Ethoxy radical]-3(S) - (4-fluorophenyl) morpholine 64-ylmethyl]-3, 4-dihydro-2H-1, 2, 4-triazole-3-ketone, molecular weight 534.427, structural formula shown in the following figure
Figure BDA0003770924070000011
Aprepitant capsules were approved by the U.S. FDA for marketing at 3 months 2003 under the trade name enden, with specifications of 40mg, 80mg, 125 mg. The aprepitant dry suspension is approved by FDA in 2015, and the specification is 125 mg. The composition is mainly used for treating nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and postoperative nausea and vomiting clinically, is usually combined with 5-HT 3 receptor antagonist dexamethasone and glucocorticoid ondansetron, and is a first-line medicament for treating cancer chemotherapy and vomiting.
At physiological pH of pH2.0-pH6.8, aprepitant solubility is 3-7 μ g/ml. Low water solubility is the rate limiting step in its effect on in vivo exposure and bioavailability.
In the prior art, attempts have been made to prepare aprepitant solid dispersions by using a single polymer, however, amorphous solid dispersions may cross the energy barrier due to thermodynamic instability, and transform from amorphous to stable crystalline form during storage, resulting in reduced solubility; the quick-release insoluble drug solid dispersion has low solubility and is difficult to reach a sink condition, so the quick-release insoluble drug solid dispersion has the tendency of quick release and quick crystallization in an in vitro release test, causes a parachute effect, loses the original solubility advantage of the solid dispersion and cannot be dissolved and absorbed in gastrointestinal tracts.
In addition, when poorly soluble drugs are exposed to the in vivo environment, supersaturated solutions are often induced, which have a higher chemical potential and degree of supersaturation than saturated solutions. In such supersaturated solutions, the actual concentration at which the drug is dissolved exceeds its thermodynamic equilibrium solubility. Supersaturated systems are thermodynamically unstable compared to equilibrium conditions (saturated regime) and have a tendency to return to equilibrium. Supersaturation is the driving force for precipitation and there is a tendency for the drug molecules to crystallize. The crystallization process is generally divided into two steps, the first step is nucleation and the second step is crystal growth, so that the drug precipitates out, affecting the bioavailability of the drug.

Example 1: preparation and property determination of aprepitant-containing solid dispersion
1.1 preparation of solid Dispersion containing aprepitant
The components and the contents of the components contained in the aprepitant bulk drug (formula 1), the aprepitant-containing binary solid dispersion (formula 2-formula 6) and the aprepitant-containing ternary solid dispersion (formula 7) are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0003770924070000051
The preparation process of the formula 2-6 comprises the following steps: aprepitant binary solid dispersion is prepared by a hot-melt extrusion method, aprepitant bulk drugs, PVP K30, PVP VA64, HPMC, HPMCAS-MG and Eudragit L100-55 are respectively and precisely weighed according to the table 1 and are placed in a mortar, and the mortar is manually ground for 10 minutes. Setting the heating temperature at 200 ℃, rotating the screw at 100rpm, manually feeding at uniform speed after the state is stable, collecting the extrudate after the extrusion state is stable, crushing the extrudate into medicine powder and storing the medicine powder in a sealed container until analysis.
Preparation process of formula 7: the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion is prepared by adopting a hot-melt extrusion method, and aprepitant raw material medicines, PVP K30 and HPMCAS-MG are precisely weighed according to the table 1 and are placed in a mortar to be manually ground for 10 minutes. Setting the heating temperature at 200 ℃, rotating the screw at 100rpm, manually feeding at uniform speed after the state is stable, collecting the extrudate after the extrusion state is stable, crushing the extrudate into medicine powder and storing the medicine powder in a sealed container until analysis.
1.2 comparison of Properties of aprepitant-containing solid Dispersion
1.2.1 in vitro dissolution assay
Precisely weighing the raw material medicine of the prescription 1 and the solid dispersion (containing 80mg of aprepitant) of the prescription 2-7, measuring 700mL of hydrochloric acid buffer solution of Tween 80 with the pH value of 1.2-0.1 according to a dissolution rate and release rate measuring method (0931 in the four-part general rule of China pharmacopoeia 2020 edition), placing the measured sample into a dissolution cup, putting the sample into the dissolution cup after the temperature of a dissolution medium is stabilized at 37 +/-0.5 ℃, setting the rotating speed to be 100rpm, and sampling at time points of 10, 20, 30, 60, 120, 130, 140, 150, 180, 240 and 300 minutes. After 120 minutes of sampling was complete, 200mL of pre-warmed, pH 6.8-0.1% Tween 80 phosphate buffer was added. Sampling 10mL of the aprepitant at each time point, supplementing a dissolution medium with the same volume, filtering by using a filter membrane (GF,0.7 mu m) to obtain 6mL of a solution, collecting a subsequent filtrate, diluting by using a proper amount of methanol, injecting into high performance liquid chromatography, measuring the content of aprepitant based on a content analysis method of HPLC, and calculating the drug cumulative release amount of aprepitant at different times according to an external standard method.
TABLE 2 recipe 1 to recipe 7 dissolution data determination
Figure BDA0003770924070000061
Figure BDA0003770924070000071
The above data were used to plot dissolution profiles (fig. 1). As can be seen from fig. 1, the binary solid dispersions (formula 2, formula 3 and formula 4) prepared from the active ingredient and the hydrophilic polymers PVP K30, PVP VA64 and HPMC were not completely released in the acidic medium, and the dissolution rate dropped significantly to the level of the drug substance (formula 1) after the pH shift; the solid dispersion (prescription 6) containing the Ettqi L100-55 is hardly released in acid, the drug dissolution is rapidly increased after the pH is changed, but the Ettqi L100-55 has no precipitation inhibition capability, so that the precipitation phenomenon is generated after supersaturation, and the drug dissolution is reduced to the level of the raw material drug (prescription 1); the binary solid dispersion containing HPMCAS-MG (formula 5) has a release amount of less than 5% in acid medium within 2 hr, and has a pH transition followed by complete release of the drug and maintenance of high supersaturation for 6 hr; the ternary solid dispersion formula (formula 7) prepared by taking the enteric polymer HPMCAS-MG as a precipitation inhibitor and PVP K30 as a dissolution promoter is released quickly in acid and almost completely released within 2 hours, a supersaturated solution with higher concentration is generated after pH conversion, the stability of the solution is maintained within the test time, and the supersaturated state is maintained.
Experiments show that compared with a binary solid dispersion, the ternary solid dispersion taking HPMCAS as the precipitation inhibitor has higher in-vitro release accumulated dissolution rate in acid, stronger capability of maintaining supersaturation degree and better crystallization inhibition capability. Considering the biopharmaceutical nature of aprepitant in vivo, aprepitant is mainly or only limited to the upper gastrointestinal absorption, and the dosage form transport time in this region is usually 2-4 hours, so that the rapid disintegration of the formulation and the rapid dissolution of the drug facilitate absorption in this narrow window. Therefore, compared with the HPMCAS-aprepitant binary solid dispersion, the ternary solid dispersion has higher dissolution speed and excellent physical stability.
1.2.2 dynamic solubility determination
Preparing 100mL of FaSSIF, weighing a bulk drug formula 1 containing 1.5mg of aprepitant, simple binary solid dispersion formulas 2 and 5 and a ternary solid dispersion formula 7, placing the bulk drug formula 1, the simple binary solid dispersion formulas 2 and 5 and the ternary solid dispersion formula 7 into a 20mL penicillin bottle, precisely measuring 10mL of FaSSIF, placing the FaSSIF into a shaking table, setting the temperature of the shaking table to be 37 ℃, the shaking frequency to be 200rpm, sampling 1mL of aprepitant at different time points within 6 hours, filtering the solution with a filter membrane (GF,0.7 mu m) to be 0.5mL, collecting the subsequent filtrate, diluting the subsequent filtrate with a proper amount of methanol, injecting the diluted solution into a high performance liquid chromatography, measuring the peak area of aprepitant based on an HPLC content measuring method, calculating the solubility C of aprepitant at different time points according to an external standard point method, and drawing a dynamic solubility curve of each formula by taking time (min) as a horizontal coordinate and solubility (mu g/mL) as a vertical coordinate.
The results of dynamic solubility in simulated intestinal fluid for the binary and ternary solid dispersion formulations prepared with HPMCAS-MG alone or PVP K30 alone are shown in fig. 2. When only PVP K30 is in the system, the drug is released rapidly in acidic medium, and after supersaturation state is generated, the drug concentration is reduced, showing spring effect after the insoluble drug is solubilized. Thus, PVP K30 does not maintain the drug supersaturation well. Compared with aprepitant-HPMCAS and aprepitant-PVP K30 binary solid dispersion, the ternary solid dispersion formula has the advantages that the dissolution speed is higher, the supersaturation level can be maintained higher, and the maintenance time is longer.
And (4) conclusion: in conclusion, compared with a binary solid dispersion, the ternary solid dispersion formula prepared from the precipitation inhibitor HPMCAS-MG and the dissolution promoter PVP K30 has stronger solubilizing capability and better crystal inhibition advantage.
Example 2: preparation of aprepitant-containing ternary solid dispersion and evaluation of dissolution property
2.1 preparation and Property ratios of ternary solid dispersions containing precipitation inhibitors and dissolution promoters in different proportions Compared with
2.1.1 preparation of ternary solid Dispersion containing aprepitant, precipitation inhibitor and dissolution enhancer in different proportions Prepare for
The components contained in the solid dispersion compositions (sample 7 to sample 10) and the contents of the components are shown in Table 3.
TABLE 3
Figure BDA0003770924070000091
The preparation process of the formula 7-10 comprises the following steps: the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion is prepared by adopting a hot-melt extrusion method, and aprepitant raw material medicines, PVP K30 and HPMCAS-MG are precisely weighed according to the table 3 and are placed in a mortar to be manually ground for 10 minutes. Setting the heating temperature at 200 ℃, rotating the screw at 100rpm, manually feeding at uniform speed after the state is stable, collecting the extrudate after the extrusion state is stable, crushing the extrudate into medicine powder and storing the medicine powder in a sealed container until analysis.
2.1.2 dissolution of ternary solid dispersions containing aprepitant and different proportions of precipitation inhibitors and dissolution promoters Comparison of properties
The in vitro dissolution rate measurement method is the same as the method described in section 1.2.1 above, and the measurement results are as follows.
TABLE 4 recipe 7-recipe 10 dissolution data measurements
Figure BDA0003770924070000092
Figure BDA0003770924070000101
The above data were used to plot dissolution profiles (fig. 3). As can be seen in fig. 3, as the proportion of HPMCAS in the formulation increased, the cumulative dissolution of the formulation increased and the ability to maintain a high level of supersaturation also increased. When the HPMCAS/PVP K30 ratio was 2:6, the drug was released in an acidic medium by about 50%, and the drug concentration gradually decreased after the pH shift due to drug supersaturation and too low a ratio of crystallization inhibitors. When the ratio of HPMCAS/PVP K30 is 4:4, the drug is released in acid medium by about 70%, the drug is further released due to HPMCAS dissolution after pH transition, so the drug concentration is slightly increased, and the dissolution rate is reduced to 60% after 4 hours. At 5:3 and 3:1 HPMCAS/PVP K30 ratios, the release in acidic medium was over 80%, complete and rapid after pH shift, and a high level of supersaturation was maintained without drop over 4 hours. When the proportion of HPMCAS/PVP K30 is in the range of 5: 3-3: 1, the aprepitant supersaturation degree is maintained to be not obviously different from that of HPMCAS alone, and the aprepitant supersaturation degree and HPMCAS alone have good crystallization inhibition effects. Therefore, the preferred ratio of HPMCAS/PVP K30 is 5: 3-3: 1.
2.2 preparation and comparison of Properties of ternary solid dispersions of different drug loadings
2.2.1 preparation of solid dispersions of varying drug loadings
The components contained in sample 7, sample 11 to sample 13 and the contents of the components are shown in Table 5.
TABLE 5
Figure BDA0003770924070000111
The preparation process of the formula 7 and the preparation process of the formula 11-13 comprise the following steps: the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion is prepared by adopting a hot-melt extrusion method, and aprepitant raw material medicines, PVP K30 and HPMCAS-MG are precisely weighed according to the table 5, placed in a mortar and manually ground for 10 minutes. Setting the heating temperature at 200 ℃, rotating the screw at 100rpm, manually feeding at uniform speed after the state is stable, collecting the extrudate after the extrusion state is stable, crushing the extrudate into medicine powder, and storing the medicine powder in a sealed container until analysis.
2.2.2 comparison of dissolution Properties of ternary solid dispersions of different drug loadings
The in vitro dissolution rate measurement method was the same as that in 1.2.1, and the measurement results were as follows.
TABLE 6
Figure BDA0003770924070000112
Figure BDA0003770924070000121
The above data were used to plot dissolution profiles (fig. 4). As can be seen from fig. 4, the cumulative dissolution of formula 11 carrying 5% drug in acid over 2 hours was only 21% without changing the ratio of the crystallization inhibitor to the dissolution promoter, which is not favorable for improving the bioavailability. The formulations 7 and 12 with 10-20% of drug loading have no significant difference in the accumulative dissolution rate in alkali, and have the capacity of maintaining the supersaturation degree. The 40% drug loaded formula 13 releases only about 50% of the drug after the pH shift and the drug concentration gradually decreases within 4 hours after the pH shift. Therefore, the drug loading is preferably 10% to 20%.
Example 3: presence state of drug in aprepitant solid dispersion
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate is used as a precipitation inhibitor, polyvinylpyrrolidone is used as a dissolution promoter, and the ternary solid dispersion composition is prepared according to the formula amounts shown in formula 7, formula 8, formula 9, formula 10 and formula 12 in the example 2.
The existence state of the drug in the solid dispersion is characterized by adopting a powder X-ray diffraction technology. And (3) testing conditions are as follows: Cu-K alpha rays; a graphite monochromator; pipe flow 40 mA; the voltage is 40 kV; 2-theta; the scanning speed is 20 degrees/min; the scanning range is 5-45 degrees; the step size is 0.02 °. See FIG. 5 for results.
And (4) conclusion: the drug was confirmed to be highly dispersed in the polymer matrix in an amorphous form in each formulation by PXRD technical characterization.
Example 4: pharmacokinetic experiments in rats
SD rats weighing 220 +/-10 g are 10 in total, randomly divided into 2 groups, and respectively comprise an aprepitant bulk drug group, aprepitant: HPMCAS-MG: PVP K30(1:3:1) solid Dispersion group (recipe 7). The rats were fasted without water deprivation overnight. Samples of the solid dispersion were dispersed in a solution containing 0.5% sodium carboxymethylcellulose and administered orally by gavage at a dose of 8 mg/kg. At 0.5, 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6, 12, 24 hours post-dose, about 0.2 ml of blood was drawn from the orbital orbit using heparinized capillaries. The water was fed 4 hours after the administration. All blood samples were stored on ice. After all the sampling points were taken, the centrifuge was centrifuged at 10000rpm for 5 minutes, and 100. mu.l of the supernatant was transferred to a 1.5ml centrifuge tube and stored at-80 ℃ for further analysis. After the biological sample analysis method is verified to be feasible, the concentration of the plasma sample is determined.

Figure BDA0003770924070000131
According to the results shown in fig. 6 and table 7, compared with aprepitant bulk drug, the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion has the oral relative bioavailability of 267.80%, which indicates that after aprepitant is prepared into a supersaturated drug delivery system, the initial dissolution performance is improved or the crystallization and precipitation phenomenon is improved in a high-supersaturation state, so that the concentration of free drug in gastrointestinal tract of the drug is remarkably increased, the intestinal absorption is increased, and the bioavailability is remarkably improved.
Compared with specific pharmacokinetic parameters, the Tmax of the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion and aprepitant is 2.8 hours and 4.4 hours respectively, and the Cmax is 956.42 +/-207.86 ng/mL and 244.54 +/-51.31 ng/mL respectively, so that the significant difference exists. The aprepitant ternary solid dispersion obviously shortens the drug peak reaching time, simultaneously the Cmax is 3.91 times of that of an aprepitant bulk drug, the in vivo half-lives of the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion and aprepitant are 2.31 +/-0.62 hours and 3.43 +/-0.43 hours respectively, and the average residence times (MRT) of the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion and the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion are 8.31 +/-0.84 hours and 5.82 +/-0.57 hours respectively.
In conclusion, the aprepitant ternary solid dispersion improves the solubility and dissolution rate of aprepitant, promotes absorption, remarkably improves the bioavailability of aprepitant, and is a promising solubilizing preparation.
