Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stable solid composition
- a stable solid composition comprising a) Selexipag, b) lactose monohydrate in an amount of 60% or less by weight based on the total weight of the solid composition.
- the invention further relates to a process for the preparation of said pharmaceutical composition and use thereof as medicament in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
- Selexipag is a selective prostacyclin (PGI2) receptor (IP receptor) agonist, which is distinct from other prostacyclin and its analogues.
- PKI2 prostacyclin
- IP receptor IP receptor
- Selexipag is hydrolyzed by carboxylesterases to yield its active metabolite, which is approximately 37-fold more potent than Selexipag.
- Selexipag and the active metabolite are high-affinity IP receptor agonists with a high selectivity for the IP receptor versus other prostanoid receptors (EP1-EP4, DP, FP, and TP). Selectivity against EP1 , EP3, FP, and TP is important because these are well-described contractile receptors in the gastro-intestinal tract and blood vessels.
- Uptravi ® contains 200-1600 pg Selexipag, whereby the therapy of PAH starts with 200 pg given twice daily, followed by an increase of the daily dose to the highest individually tolerated dose up to a maximum dose of 1600 p twice daily via increments of 200 pg twice daily, usually at weekly intervals.
- Uptravi ® film-coated tablet is a standard immediate-release tablet that contains D- mannitol, maize starch, low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and magnesium stearate in the tablet core; the film -coating contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Hypromellose/ HPMC), propylene glycol, titanium dioxide, carnauba wax along with mixtures of iron oxides in order to protect the tablet core from light.
- the tablet core is prepared by wet granulation (Ref: European Public Assessment Report (EPAR) for Selexipag, Apr-2016).
- Uptravi ® contains very low load of active substance in the tablets (between 0.148 % and 1.185 % w/w of the core tablet), which poses a challenge to the manufacturing process particularly for achieving content uniformity of the blends used during the manufacture of the tablet and thus selection of excipient and assessment of its impact on content uniformity of the blends is very critical.
- Selexipag is considered to be a BCS (Biopharmaceutics Classification System) Class II drug i.e. having high permeability and low solubility.
- BCS Biopharmaceutics Classification System
- particle size control seems a critical quality attribute in the manufacture of Selexipag composition.
- WO 2010150865 A1 discloses crystalline form I, II & III of Selexipag, process for the preparation and pharmaceutical composition thereof. According to EPAR, marketed composition of Selexipag prepared by using the crystalline form I.
- EP 3344607 B1 discloses a crystalline form of Selexipag designated as Form IV, processes for preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the said crystalline form.
- EP 3481807 A1 discloses a crystalline form of Selexipag designated as Form P, processes for preparation thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising the said crystalline form.
- EP 3384911 A1 discloses a solid preparation comprising Selexipag, and D-mannitol having a specific surface area of 1.0 m 2 /g or less. According to EP ‘911, when the specific surface area of D-mannitol used is 1.0 m 2 /g or less, the obtained compositions are stable as compared to the compositions prepared by using D-mannitol having specific surface are more than 1.0 m 2 /g.

- solid composition means solid pharmaceutical composition includes, without limitation, capsules, tablets, caplets, powders, pellets, granules, liquid dispersions, beads, etc.
- the term ' Selexipag ' as used in the present invention includes, but is not limited to, Selexipag per se, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, pharmaceutically acceptable solvates, pharmaceutically acceptable hydrates, pharmaceutically acceptable enantiomers, pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable polymorphs and pharmaceutically acceptable prodrugs thereof, and also its various crystalline and amorphous forms.
- stable as used herein is intended to mean that a composition of a pharmaceutical product or a method of the present invention does not substantially decompose to form one or more degradation products when stored in a sealed package at 40° C at 75% relative humidity for at least 3 months. For example, there is not more than 2% degradation products e.g.
- composition of the present invention is stored in a sealed package at about 40° C at about 75% relative humidity for at least 3 months, more preferably for 6 months.
- similarity factor or f2 factor as used herein refers to one way of comparing dissolution profiles of two different products. (Multisource Pharmaceutical Products: Guidelines on Registration Requirements to establish Interchangeability, Quality Assurance and Safety: Medicines, Essential Drugs and Medicines Policy, World Health Organization, 1211 Geneva 27, Switzerland) This model independent mathematical approach compares the dissolution profile of the two products: test and reference (or two strengths, or pre- and post-approved products from the same manufacturer). Tests are recommended to be performed under the same test conditions.
- the dissolution time points for both the profiles should be the same, for example for immediate release products e.g. 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 minutes and for extended release products, e.g., 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 hours. Only one time point should be considered after 85% dissolution of the reference product.
