Definitions
- the present invention relates to a kit comprising at least one microneedle system and at least one dosage form for the transmucosal administration of at least one pharmaceutically active substance, wherein the at least one dosage form for the transmucosal administration of at least one pharmaceutically active substance preferably comprises an oral thin film, this kit for use in the treatment of a patient, the use of a microneedle system for reducing the permeation barrier of a mucosa for at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient and a method for treating a patient, wherein first a microneedle system is applied to a site of a patient's mucosa and removed again, and then an oral Thin film, comprising at least one matrix polymer and at least one pharmaceutically active agent, on the site of the mucosa to which the microneedle system has been applied and removed again, au f is brought or wherein the microneedle system is applied to the mucosa simultaneously with a dosage form for transmucosal administration of at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient
- Pharmaceutically active ingredients can be administered via the mucosa with appropriate dosage forms.
- Oral thin films for example, are suitable for this purpose.
- Oral thin films are thin films containing at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient that are applied directly to a mucosa (mucous membrane), preferably the oral mucosa, and preferably dissolve there.
- a mucosa mucous membrane
- These are, in particular, thin polymer-based films containing active substance which, when applied to a mucous membrane, in particular the oral mucosa, release the active substance directly into the latter.
- This dosage form has the advantage that the active ingredient is largely absorbed through the oral mucosa, for example, and thus the "first-pass metabolism" that occurs with the conventional dosage form of an active ingredient in tablet form is avoided.
- the active ingredient can be dissolved in the film, be emulsified or dispersed.
- the active substance is absorbed particularly quickly there.
- the absorption route via the oral mucosa is thus characterized by a relatively rapid passage of the active substance or permeation of the active substance.
- an effective increase in blood pressure can be measured as pharmacological evidence after just two minutes.
- OTFs are also preferred for indications that require a rapid onset of action, such as pain, nausea, dizziness, seizures, cardiac arrest, but also for the regulation of high blood pressure or blood sugar levels.
- Suitable administration forms include, for example, textile carriers, for example made of cotton or cellulose, which are impregnated with a solution or suspension of the at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient.
- Medical tamponades for example, such as those used in dentistry, are suitable here.
- Clove oil or its main component eugenol, lavender oil or its main component linalool, methyl salicylate or ethanolic mixtures with glycerol and limonene are suitable as solvents.
- Clove oils include clove blossom oil, clove leaf oil and clove stalk oil and are usually obtained by steam distillation from the various plant parts of the clove tree, Syzygium aromaticum (Myrtaceae).
- Suitable amounts of active ingredient present in such textile carriers are, for example, 50 g per 100 g of textile carrier.
- the mucosa represents a very hydrophilic permeation barrier (it consists of more than 90% water)
- the active ingredients to be applied there should be at least readily water-soluble and thus generally more hydrophilic than lipophilic. This can be achieved, for example, by administering pharmaceutically acceptable salts of drugs.
- the readily water-soluble hydrochlorides of the opioid bases fentanyl and buprenorphine, which are used instead of the bases themselves, in particular for the treatment of breakthrough pain, should be mentioned here.

- Phosphate buffer pH 5.5
- Tween® 20 an organic solubilizer for maintaining “sink” conditions
- a saturated solution of tetrahydrocannabinol in clove oil (Primavera® bio Nelkenknospe, Oy-Mittelberg, Germany) was used as the donor solution.
- Dermatosed skin from the esophagus of a pig with a layer thickness of 400 ⁇ m was used as a skin model.
- CBD cannabidiol
- Phosphate buffer pH 5.5
- Tween® 20 an organic solubilizer for maintaining “sink” conditions
- a saturated solution of tetrahydrocannabinol in clove oil (Primavera® bio Nelkenknospe, Oy-Mittelberg, Germany) was used as the donor solution. Dermatosed skin from the esophagus of a pig with a layer thickness of 400 ⁇ m was used as a skin model.
- Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 without further additives was used as the acceptor medium; As a water-soluble salt, sumatriptan succinate is very soluble in this acceptor.
- the donor system was a polyvinylpyrrolidone-based microneedle system loaded with sumatripan succinate, which dissolves on contact with water and temperatures > 32 °C.
- sumatriptan succinate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polysorbate 80 and glycerol were dissolved in water in proportions of 5:20:1:1:73 (each in % by weight).
- the final solution was poured into silicone needle-negative matrices, the surface of which was vapor-deposited with a thin layer of platinum.
- the negative matrices were then dried overnight at room temperature. After the drying process, the dried microneedle systems were carefully pressed out of the matrices and stored away from moisture until further use.
- the active ingredient content was 4.25 mg sumatriptan succinate per 0.785 cm 2 system or 5.41 mg/cm 2 .
- Dermatosed skin from the esophagus of a pig with a layer thickness of 400 ⁇ m was used as a skin model.
- microneedle system remained in the mucosa throughout the permeation period, with the cell head also being filled with lead balls to reduce the in vivo contact pressure (e.g. between the lower jaw and the oral mucosa) in the to simulate the oral cavity.
- a separating film based on siliconized PET polyethylene terephthalate was placed in between to protect the self-dissolving microneedle system from the lead bullets.
- Phosphate buffer pH 6.0 containing 0.1% by weight of L-ascorbic acid was used as the acceptor medium; Adrenaline hydrogen tartrate is very soluble in this acceptor.
- the biodegradable microneedle system was produced and used analogously to example 5, with adrenaline hydrogen tartrate being used as the pharmaceutically active ingredient.
- Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 without further additives was used as the acceptor medium; Salbutamol sulfate is very soluble in this acceptor.
- biodegradable microneedle system was produced and used analogously to example 5, with salbutamol sulfate being used as the pharmaceutically active ingredient.

- Phosphate buffer pH 6.0
- Tween 20 was used as the acceptor medium; Sumatriptan base is very soluble in this acceptor.
- the biodegradable microneedle system was produced and used analogously to example 5, with sumatriptan base being used as the pharmaceutically active ingredient.
- the preparation of the oral thin film was as follows:
- the oral thin film had the following composition (in percent by mass):
- Phosphate buffer pH 7.4 with 2% by weight Tween 20 was used as the acceptor medium; Ulipristal acetate is very soluble in this acceptor.
- the surface of the mucosa was treated with the microneedle system "AdminPatchTM” (needle length 600 pm) from the company “nanobioSciences” (CA, USA) made of steel with a contact pressure of 3 N by thumb pressure, controlled using a table scale for 10 seconds.
- administerTM needle length 600 pm
- CA nanobioSciences
- the oral thin film was applied, preferably with the simultaneous addition of 100 ⁇ l of Glandosane® to loosen the oral thin film.
- Oral thin films should always be dissolved as quasi-solids.
- the means for dissolving should preferably simulate the naturally produced saliva which causes the dissolving or at least dissolving of the oral thin film in vivo.
- Glandosane® was used for reasons of better solubility.
- Glandosane® artificial saliva is a spray for Use in the oral cavity for dry mouth and for oral care in the intensive care unit.
