Definitions

  • the field of the present invention is that of the modified-release pharmaceutical dosage forms of medicamentous active principles (PA) intended for oral administration, containing at least one AP, capable of maintaining a modified release of AP in an alcoholic solution, that is, not subject to rapid discharge of the dose in the presence of alcohol; moreover they comprise anti misuse means.
  • PA medicamentous active principles
  • the PAs considered are pharmaceutical and / or veterinary PAs, for example those classified as narcotics, analgesics or narcotics.
  • the abuse of these AP can lead to addictive behaviors.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to pharmaceutical forms of the type referred to in the preceding paragraph and comprising a plurality of reservoir microparticles.
  • the present invention relates more particularly to pharmaceutical forms for which the ingestion of alcohol during administration is disadvised.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the multimicroparticulate pharmaceutical forms designed to resist attempts of misuse, the improvement of avoiding the patient a rapid discharge of the dose in the presence of a large volume of alcoholic solution.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of the pharmaceutical forms mentioned above.
  • modified-release dosage forms for administering a drug is well known.
  • they make it possible to better cover the therapeutic need, since the useful plasma concentration in AP can be maintained longer than in the case of instantaneous release forms.
  • they make it possible to limit the height and the number of plasma concentration peaks in PA, which reduces the toxicity of the drug and / or reduces its side effects.
  • the interest of the modified-release forms is, in this respect, particularly marked for active ingredients with a narrow therapeutic window.
  • these systems make it possible, by their increased duration of action, to limit the number of daily intake, which reduces stress for the patient and improves adherence to treatment.
  • a modified release form should therefore ideally be capable of preventing accidental accelerated release of the AP in an alcoholic solution.
  • a modified-release form must be able to prevent the intentional misuse of certain active substances such as opiates, which poses a real public health problem.
  • Intentional misuse is mainly found in the case of drug addiction and chemical servoing. In both cases, people intending to misuse a solid oral drug will usually seek to extract PA from the modified-release form to obtain a fast-acting product.
  • the pharmaceutical form MR must prevent three modes of intentional misuse:
  • obtaining a liquid form from a solid oral drug generally goes through a step of extraction, in aqueous or organic phase, of the targeted PA. This extraction is usually preceded by grinding.
  • the modes of administration 1) by inhalation or 2) by injection are particularly suitable for drug addicts because they are modes which make it possible to accentuate the effects of the AP and which favor its rapid absorption in the organism.
  • the powder obtained by grinding is sucked by the nose or dissolved in water and injected, the desired effects, doping or euphoric, of PA, manifest very rapidly and exacerbated.
  • Mode 3 also constitutes a particularly serious drift which affects adolescents and concerns analgesic PAs, especially morphine and opiate derivatives. From a strong alcoholic drink and an opiate analgesic, including oxycodone, and with some manipulation, it is possible to extract the opiate analgesic, which can then be absorbed by an addict.
  • the misuse of solid oral medications may also be observed when, instead of being swallowed quickly according to the prescription, the drug is chewed before being swallowed, thus bypassing the step of slow disintegration in the stomach and resulting in a discharge of the dose.
  • an MR release form must make it possible to avoid intentional or unintentional misuse of the AP.
  • the MR form must simultaneously exhibit the following four essential properties: a) Do not lead to an accelerated release of AP in an alcoholic solution, such as could occur for example in a patient who accidentally absorbs the drug with a alcoholic drink ; b) be difficult to grind in the form of an immediate release powder, for example to prevent inhalation of the PA; c) be difficult to extract in a small volume of liquid, and thus prevent parenteral injection of PA; d) not lead to the massive solution of PA in an alcoholic beverage or not and thus prevent the oral administration of PA in IR form even after a long contact time.
  • the unpublished application FR 06 50566 describes multimicroparticulate pharmaceutical forms capable of withstanding the accidental discharge of the dose. in the presence of alcohol, particularly to address the concerns of health professionals in the case of accidents caused by this in vivo dose dumping (dumping dose), in patients who have ingested a sustained-release dosage form at the same time as a significant dose of alcohol.
  • dumping dose in patients who have ingested a sustained-release dosage form at the same time as a significant dose of alcohol.
  • These modified release forms possess the property of maintaining the modified release of the PA even in a large volume of alcoholic solution (50 to 900 ml). However, these forms are not designed to withstand attempts to misuse, in particular by grinding a dry form, possibly followed by extraction in a liquid medium.
  • the unpublished application FR 05 53437 describes multimicroparticulate pharmaceutical forms designed to be resistant to misuse, especially intentional misuse. These fraudulent diversions of oral medications involve different stages (grinding, extraction), and said application describes controlled release oral forms comprising anti-misuse means:

  • Another object of the invention is to provide new solid oral drugs, to prevent misuse, while ensuring, for the patient normally followed, a quality of treatment, especially a dose according to his needs.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing solid oral drugs resistant to the immediate discharge of the dose of PA in the presence of alcohol and comprising anti-misuse means.

The mixture is homogenized for 15 minutes.
  • polyox WSR303 polyethylene oxide / Dow
  • amberlite IR69F Ros & Haas
  • 0.5 aerosil 200 colloidal silica / Degussa
  • magnesium stearate 1 g
  • 35 gelatin capsules size 0 (white / white) are each filled with 405 mg of the above mixture.
  • Example 4 In the following misuse tests, the content of a capsule as described in Example 4 is first ground by means of a tablet pulverizer (LGS pill crusher) then placed in the presence of 10mL of solvent and left under stirring 120 min at room temperature.
  • a tablet pulverizer LGS pill crusher
  • the mixture is then removed by means of an insulin syringe through a 0.45 ⁇ m filter.
  • the amounts of oxycodone HCl recovered are analyzed by HPLC. The results of the extractions tests are reported in Table 1.
  • the quantities extracted are less than 15% of the dose.
  • Granule 1582.7 g of oxycodone HCl are added in a solution containing 83.3 g of Plasdone K29 / 32 (povidone / Dow), 2011.1 g of demineralized water and 1082.9 g of ethanol. The whole is stirred at 67 ° C. The solution is then sprayed in a Glatt GPCG 1.1 fluidized air bed apparatus on 300 g of particles of cellulose spheres (Asahi-Kasei). The recovered product is then screened over 80-300 ⁇ m.
  • 450 g of the granules prepared as indicated above are then rolled in a Glatt GPCG 1.1 fluidized air bed apparatus with a solution containing 315 g of Ethocel Premium (ethylcellulose / Dow), 36 g of Plasdone K29 / 32 ( povidone / ISP), 54 g of Lutrol F-68 (Poloxamer 188 / BASF), 45 g of castor oil (Garbit oil mill), 3105 g of acetone and 2070 g of isopropanol.
  • the weight of the coating represents 50% of the total mass of the microparticle MR of oxycodone HCl.
  • 1615 g of oxycodone HCl are added in a solution containing 85 g of Plasdone K29 / 32 (povidone / ISP), 2052 g of demineralised water and 1105 g of ethanol. The whole is stirred at 67 ° C. The solution is then sprayed into a Glatt GPCG 1.1 fluidized air bed apparatus on 300 g of Cellets 90 particles (cellulose spheres / Pharmatrans). The recovered product is then sieved on 80-25 ⁇ m.
