Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method for enhancing permeation of topically administered physiologically active agents by inducing phase separation of stratum corneum intercellular lipid bilayers in epidermis and keratinized mucous membrane.
  • epithelia The major function of epithelia, including the stratum corneum of epidermis and of keratinizing mucous membranes, is to prevent the excessive loss of bodily fluids. If the epithelial barrier function is disrupted or perturbed, it stimulates a variety of metabolic changes in the epidermis and mucous membranes leading to repair of the barrier defect. While the barrier is beneficial for protection against damage from ultraviolet radiation, desiccation, chemical, frictional, and blunt trauma, it also impedes the percutaneous and transmucosal penetration of topically applied medicaments of potential benefit to the host.
  • the epithelial barrier resides in a system of multuayered lipid bilayers that exist throughout the stratum corneum and keratinized mucous membrane intercellular spaces.
  • These lipid bilayers in the stratum corneum contain three major lipid components: ceramides, free fatty acids, and cholesterol, present in an approximately equimolar ratio and, in addition, a small, but critical, quantity of acylceramides.
  • These lipid bilayers in the keratinized mucous membrane contain glucosylceramide instead of ceramide and acylceramide.
  • Typical solvents or detergents alter the physical properties of intercellular membrane bilayers.
  • solvents or detergents include dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), oleyl alcohol (OA), propylene glycol, methyl pyrrolidone and AZONE ® (dodecyl azyl cycloheptan 2-one).
  • DMSO dimethylsulfoxide
  • OA oleyl alcohol
  • propylene glycol propylene glycol
  • methyl pyrrolidone methyl pyrrolidone
  • AZONE ® dodecyl azyl cycloheptan 2-one
  • 4,177,267 discloses topical steroid compositions containing dimethylsulfoxide as an epithelial penetration enhancer. It is generally believed that many of these epithelial penetration enhancers fluidize the polar head group (e.g., DMSO) and/or nonpolar tail group (e.g., OA) domains within the membrane bilayers. Yet, some compounds with significant fluidizing effect have been shown to be incapable of substantially increasing epithelial permeability. While these methods typically enhance penetration of certain compounds by three- to five ⁇ fold, these methods are only relatively effective for smaller lipophilic and amphiphathic molecules. Hydrophilic compounds such as proteins or peptides do not penetrate in pharmaceutically useful quantities through the epithelia by most of these methods.
  • This invention is based on the finding that the phase separation of stratum corneum and mucous membrane intercellular lipid bilayers can be induced by several mechanisms, and that the epithelial penetration of a given physiological- ly active substance can occur and/or be substantially improved once such intercellular phase separation has been affected.
  • this invention provides a method for inducing phase separation of epithelial intercellular lipid bilayers in a host in need of topical administration of a physiologically active substance delivered percutaneously or transdermally, which comprises applying to the skin or mucosa of the host an effective amount of an intercellular phase-separating agent.
  • this invention provides a topical composition for inducing phase separation of stratum corneum intercellular lipid bilayers of the epidermis and of the keratinized mucous membrane in a host in need of topical administration of a physiologically active substance delivered percutaneously or transdermally, which comprises an effective amount of an intercellular phase- separating agent, together with a physiologically acceptable carrier delivered percutaneously or transdermally.
  • this invention provides a method for enhancing the percutaneous, transmucosal and transdermal penetration of a physiologically active substance in a host in need of topical administration of the substance, which comprises applying to the skin or mucosa of the host an effective amount of an intercellular phase-separating agent.

  • Intercellular phase separation occurs when the capacity of the multuayered lipid bilayers to take up excess quantities of exogenous lipids or other fluidizing molecules is exceeded. As a result, spaces form when the multuayered lipid bilayers are pushed apart or to one side, thus, separating them within the intercellular spaces. These spaces extend and coalesce until significant spaces are present within and between the lipid bilayers within the intercellular spaces (i.e., phase separation), thus, disrupting barrier integrity.
  • phase separation can be induced by any one or more of the following mechanisms:
  • the method of this invention principally employs an effective amount of one or more of these epithelial intercellular phase separating agents.
  • an intercellular phase separating agent means any compound which would fall within the above-referenced categories.
  • epicellular phase separating agent means any compound which would fall within the above-referenced categories.

  • epicellular phase separating agent means any compound which would fall within the above-referenced categories.
  • epidermal sterols, esters and salts thereof includes, among others, cholesterol, cholesterol sulfate, and cholesteryl sulfate.
  • an effective amount means that the amount of th intercellular separating agent is applied topically in sufficient quantities t induce phase separation and to enhance epithelial permeation of a given physiologically active substance to a desired degree in the skin or vasculature.
  • the amount can vary according to the effectiveness of each phase separating agent, the depth of cutaneous penetration, the age, and response of th individual host, etc. More importantly, the amount should be determined based on the skin or mucosa penetration efficiency of a physiologically active substance when the substance is administered together with a phase- separating agent.
  • the required quantity to be employed in this invention can be determined readily by those skilled in the art.
  • penetration enhancement or “permeation enhancement” as used herein relates to an increase in the permeability of the epithelium to physiologically active substance; i.e., so as to increase the rate at which th substance permeates through the epithelial barrier.
  • the substance may b targeted to remain within any of the subjacent layers of the skin or mucosa o may later enter the bloodstream of a host.
  • the term "host” includes humans and non-human mammals.
  • Non-human mammals of particular interest are domesticated species such a dogs, cats, monkeys, cows, horses, llamas, sheep, pigs, and goats.
  • the term "physiologically active substance” is intended to encompass any substance that will produce a physiological response when topically administered to a host.
  • the terms include therapeutic or prophylactic agents in all major therapeutic/prophylactic areas of medicine as well as nutrients, cofactors, and xenobiotics.

  • More than one physiologically active substance may be included, if desired, in the topical composition of this invention.
  • the active substance will be present in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide the desired physiological effect with no apparent toxicity to the host.
  • the appropriate dosage level of the physiologically active substance without the use of the intercellular phase-separating agents of the present invention, are known to one skilled in the art. These conventional dosage levels correspond to the upper range of dosage levels for compositions, including a physiologically active substance and an intercellular phase-separating agent. However, because the delivery of the active substance is enhanced by the intercellular phase separation agents of this invention, dosage levels significantly lower than a conventional dosage level may be used with success.
  • the active substance will be present in the composition in an amount from about 0.0001 % to about 60%, more preferably about 0.01 % to about 20% by weight of the total composition depending upon the particular substance employed.
  • the amount of the intercellular phase separating agent present in the composition will depend on a number of factors. However, generally the amount will range from about 0.01 to about 25% by weight of the total composition, with levels of from about 0.05 to about 10% being preferred.
  • the intercellular phase-separating agents useful in the compositions and methods of the present invention include any epithelial sterol, esters, salts, or precursors thereof and nonphysiologic analogs thereof. Cholesterol accounts for 20-25% of the stratum corneum lipids by weight.
  • the intercellular phase-separating agents can be biosynthetic precursors of the epithelial sterols. Preferred precursors include squalene, 7-dehydrocholesterol, lanosterol, desmosterol, zymosterol, cholesterol sulfate, and cholesterol esters.
  • the intercellular phase-separating agents can be inactive synthetic (nonphysiologic) analogs of the epithelial sphingolipids including stearylamine and sterols, esters, and salts and precursors thereof, including epicholesterol and cholesterol phosphate.
  • This embodiment also comprises combination of two or more of these anlogs combined with a synthetic fatty acid analog such as transvaccenic acid.
  • the intercellular phase separating agents can be biological pH modifiers.

  • TRIS, HEPES, and MES are most preferred.
  • Other organic amines such as tri(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (THA), 2,4,6-trimethylpyridine and 2-amino-2-methyl-1 ,3-propanediol can be used.
  • Suitable proton pump inhibitors include ionophores such as monensin, lasalocid, chloroquine, nigericin, valinomycin, gramicidin D, and salinomycin.
  • Other preferred proton pump inhibitors are n-ethyimaleimide (NEM), N,N'- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD), NBD-chloride, and bafilomycin (BAF) A-, or
  • the drugs tend to accumulate in cellular lysosomes and cause skin irritation.
  • This invention is applicable not only to the weak base drugs as taught in U.S. Patent No. 5,130,139, but also to non-irritating drugs outside the scope thereof.
  • the use of the biological pH modifiers is particularly useful for the penetration enhancement of non-irritating drugs of therapeutical value.
  • the "proton pump inhibitors” block the delivery to and/or confine proton equivalents to the intercellular spaces, thus precluding the intercellular pH from lowering.
  • Glucocerebrosides and phospholipids are converted to ceramides and free fatty acids, respectively, by enzymatic hydrolysis in the acidic environment of the stratum corneum. In mucous membranes, phospholipids are converted to free fatty acids by this mechanism. At a pH of 6.0 or higher, this enzymatic hydrolysis ceases, which leaves the non-metabolized lipid precursors intact. The accumulation of these precursor molecules leads to phase separation.
  • the correct final proportion of free fatty acids, ceramides or glucosylceramides, and cholesterol, required for the formation of lipid bilayer structures that mediate epithelial barrier function, will not be generated.
  • An effective amount of the biological buffers to be included in the composition of this invention should be sufficient to bring the intercellular pH of the epithelium to greater than 6.0.
  • Topical treatment regimens comprise applying the composition directly to the skin or mucosa, i.e., at the application site, from one to several times daily.
  • Any one of the above-indicated intercellular phase separating agents permits the significantly improved topical application of the physiologically active substance in terms of epithelial permeation.
  • more than one intercellular phase-separating agent can be co-applied to the skin or mucosa of a host in a combined formulation. Alternatively, they can be applied concurrently as separate formulations if such combination synergistically enhances percutaneous or transmucosal absorp ⁇ tion.

  • the physiologically active substance can be co-administered to the host with the topical compositions which contain one or more of the intercellular phase separating agents. Alternatively, the active substance may be administered after application of the topical composition. It is, however, for convenience to the host and the prescribing physician who prescribe medicaments to use the physiologically active agent and the intercellular phase separating agents as a single composition formulation.
  • the single or combined intercellular phase separating agent is applied to the skin or mucosa in combination with a physiologically acceptable carrier.
  • the carrier may comprise any one of conventional topical formulation bases such as those described in Remington's

  • the use level of the additional penetration-enhancing compounds is not significantly different from that of the intercellular phase-separating agents, and is in the range of from about 0.1 to about 10% and preferably about 1.0% to about 5.0% by weight of the topical composition.
  • Additional ingredients may be added to the topical composition, as long as they are pharmaceutically acceptable and not deleterious to the epithelial cells or their function. Further, they should not adversely affect the epithelial penetration efficiency of the above-noted intercellular phase separating agents, and should not cause deterioration in the stability of the composition.
