Abstract

Complexes of beta -cyclodextrin with various salts of ibuprofen are described in which the molar ratios of ibuprofen to beta - cyclodextrin are within the range of from 1:0.20 to 1:0.75. The ibuprofen salts are selected from the sodium, potassium, ammonium, magnesium, calcium, arginine, glycine or lysine salts of ibuprofen. The complexes have enhanced taste profile and bioavailability. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the complexes and also pharmaceutical compositions thereof.

Description

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION This invention relates to cyclodextrin complexes and in particular to complexes with ibuprofen salts, their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions thereof.
Ibuprofen, whose chemical name is 2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionic acid, is a well known compound having analgesic, antipyretic and antiinflammatory properties and having utility in the treatment of pain and inflammatory conditions. Ibuprofen is only poorly soluble in water, has poor wettability and suffers organoleptically because of its bitter taste which latter makes it unacceptable.
Attempts to increase its solubility by, for example, conversion to its sodium salt, whilst affording improved solubility causes an even more unacceptable taste profile.
On the other hand attempts to improve the taste profile by the use of insoluble salts, coatings, granulations or incorporation of flavourings have tended to be unsatisfactory and may even have an adverse effect on the bioavailability of the drug and time to peak plasma levels.
ss-Cyclodextrins and their derivatives have been used in pharmaceutical formulations to enhance solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability of various drugs.
Japanese patent Kokai 46837/1981 (published 28 April 1981) reviews various previous attempts to prepare complexes of ss-cyclodextrin and ibuprofen. In one of the reviewed methods the molar ratio of ibuprofen to ss- cyclodextrin was 0.36:1.0 whilst in another which involved a seven step procedure the ratio was 0.82:1.0. The patent publication describes a procedure in which ibuprofen, - cyclodextrin and water are mixed at a temperature about that of the melting point of ibuprofen, eg 60 to 800C and the resultant dispersion is spray dried at a temperature above 750C. In the examples the molar ratios of ibuprofen to ss-cyclodextrin in the complexes obtained were 0.79:1.0, 0.73:1.0 and 0.81:1.0 respectively.
Chow and Karara, Int.J.Pharmac 28, 95-101 (1986) prepared and studied an ibuprofen - ss-clodextrin complex (2:3 molar ratio). They found that the dissolution rate of the ibuprofen was significantly enhanced by complexation and that after 20 minutes the percentage of drug released from the complex as compared with that from drug powder were 95 and 5 respectively. Bioavailability studies in rats showed that the extent of absorption was the same from free and complexed ibuprofen but that the time to reach peak plasma concentrations was 2.5 times faster with the complex.
Hitherto in the complexes between ss-cyclodextrin and ibuprofen the molar ratio of ibuprofen to ss-cyclodextrin has never been greater than 1:1 and in the prior art discussed above it has ranged between 0.81:1.0 and 0.66:1.0.
ss-Cyclodextrin tends to be an expensive commodity (10 per Kilo).
We have now found it possible to prepare complexes incorporating ss-cyclodextrin and ib?rofen in which the molar proportion of ibuprofen is considerably greater than that of ss-cyclodextrin whilst retaining the increased water solubility, increased bioavailability and improved taste properties.
According to this invention there is provided a complex of ss-cyclodextrin with an ibuprofen salt selected from the sodium, potassium, ammonium, magnesium, calcium, arginine, glycine or lysine salts in which the molar ratio of ibuprofen to B-cyclodextrin is within the range of from 1:0.20 to 1:0.75.
A preferred complex is one with ibuprofen sodium salt.
In the preparation of the ss-cyclodextrin/ibuprofen sodium salt complex a mixture of ibuprofen, ss-cyclodextrin and water are mixed at a temperature in the range of 50 800C and preferably about 700C. The resultant dispersion is neutralised with sodium hydroxide solution to provide a clear solution which is then allowed to cool to 30 - 40 C and thereafter the solution is dried to remove the water by a technique such as spray granulation, spray drying, drum drying or freeze drying. A preferred technique is spray drying since it produces a free flowing granular solid.
The concentration of the solution prior to spray drying is preferably in the range 5 to 40% (w/w) and most preferably about 35%.
It has been found that a fluid bed spray drying (FSD) technique is particularly useful. A free flowing powder with a mean particle size of between 170 and 210 ym is readily produced by the technique. Suitable drying conditions are a main inlet temperature of between 170 and 2000C, preferably about 195 C, a fluid bed inlet temperature of between 90 and 11000, preferably about 1000C, an outlet temperature of about 760C and total air drying of 620 Kg/ hour.
The above described conditions afford a palatable free flowing powder which is soluble in water. In order to improve the tabletting properties of the powder it is convenient, prior to the removal of the water, to add a water soluble binder such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene glycol, carboxyvinylpolymethylene or mixtures thereof to the solution of the ss-cyclodextrin/ibuprofen sodium salt complex. Conveniently the amount of water soluble binder relative to that of the complex is in the range 0.1 to 5% w/w and preferably 3 to 4%.
Complexes with ibuprofen salts such as the potassium, ammonium, arginine, glycine and lysine may be prepared in a similar procedure as for the sodium salt using in the neutralisation step potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, ammonium hydroxide, arginine, glycine or lysine.
Complexes with magnesium or calcium ibuprofen may be conveniently prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of the sodium salt complex with a suitable calcium or magnesium salt such as calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium gluconate, magnesium gluconate or calcium lactate.
The ss-cyclodextrin/ibuprofen salt complexes may be incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions suitable for oral administration.
In an aspect of the invention there are provided pharmaceutical compositions for oral administration comprising a ss-cyclodextrin/ibuprofen salt complex as herein defined together with a pharmaceutically acceptable diluent or carrier.
The compositions are preferably in the form of powders, granules or tablets. The compositions may be formulated with an effervescent couple, a buffer system, sweeteners, flavouring, colours etc. Preferred diluent or carriers are water soluble saccharides such as dextrose, lactose or sucrose.
It has been found that when the compositions are formulated in the absence of a buffer system or formulated to afford a pH of between 3 and 6 there is a tendency when the compositions are added to water for the complex to be precipitated. Such precipitation can be prevented by the incorporation of a buffer system or where the composition includes an effervescent couple the incorporation of a pharmaceutically acceptable acid salt such as sodium citrate. The amounts of acid salt or buffer system employed are chosen so that the pH of the composition in aqueous solution is between 6.0 and 8.0.
Pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent couples are well known to the art. Typically, effervescent couples comprise a solid organic acid, such as citric acid, adipic acid, malic acid or tartaric acid with a carbonate such as sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, potassium carbonate or potassium bicarbonate. The amount of effervescent couple used is selected so that the pH of the composition in aqueous solution is between 6.0 and 8.0.In the case of complexes in which the salt is the sodium salt it is prefera@le f@r compositions which are to De accec to water to h@ve an effervescent cou@le which will @rovide a pH of between @.3 and 7.0 so as to avoid precipitation of the active com@onent. The effervescent couple or either of the comco@ents may form the b@ffer system.
Sweeteners, either nutritive or non-nutritive may also be included in the compositions. Examples of nutritive sweeteners are sucrose, glucose, dextrose, ladctose anc sorbitol. Examples of non-nutritive sweeteners are saccharin, aspartame and cyclamate. Preferably the sweetener is sodium saccharin.
It will be aporeciated that the compositions should be protected from atmospheri@ moisture. Anhydrous sodi@@ carbonate may be included to prevent the advarse effects of moisture.
or purposes of convenience and accuracy of dosing the compositions are in unit dosage form containin- the aquivalent of 50 to 500 mg of ibuprofan and preferably 2@@ to 430 mg.

An overall rating of the acceptability of the test products was also obtained (ie ecceptable/unacceptable).
For each paired comparison an analysis was carried out on tne difference between the visual analocue scores of the test solution and the standard solution. The analysis tested the extent to which the differences in score influenced by the ibuprofen: ss-cyclodextrin ratio in the test solution and by variation between subjects in tha assessments and in the score given to the standard solution.
This last item is included because the score of the standard solution influences the size of the difference in visual analogue score which can be obtained.

For overall taste, odour and aftertaste, Comparative Example A was considerably less acceptable than all the other formulations except that of Example B and was indeed not significantly more acceptable than the standara ibuprofen solution. There were smaller differences between the test solutions and the ibuprofen standard in the results for mouth feel but in this test also, Comparative Examples A and B were less acceptable than the rest.
The overall assessment of acceptability is also given in Table 1. From the results it can be seen that the formulations of Example 1 and Examples 6-9 were generally judged to be acceptable whilst the formulations of Comparative Examples A and B were considered to be unacceptable. Calculations show that the probability of obtaining these results by chance is low.
From these results it can be seen that the ibuprofen/ss-cyclodextrin complexes of the invention have an organoleptic profile significantly superior to that of sodium ibuprofen and also superior to those of complexes outside the scope of the invention containing lesser amounts of 13-cyclodextrin.
