Description
42365/2 MERCK & CO., IMC.
This invention relates to compositions containing 2 '-(4-pyridyl)-6 ,16a-dimethy 1-1 1 β , 17a , 21 -trihydroxypregna-4,6-dieno^3f 27-pyrazol-20-one, as anti-inflammatory agent.-More specifically, the invention relates to topical pharmaceutical compositions which contain said 21 -(4-pyridyl) 6 , 16a-dimethy 1-1 1 β , 17a , 21 -trihydroxypregna-4 ,6-dieno 3 , 2-c7-pyrazol-20-one as an active ingredient in a clear water-white gel vehicle. The anti-inflammatory agent disclosed herein is of value in the topical treatment of dermatological disorders of like conditions re-sponsive to anti-inflammatory drugs. Included within this category are diseases such as dermatitis (actinic, atopic, contact, eczematoid, seborrheic and stasis') , dermatitis herpetiformis, lichen planus, neurodermatitis, intitrigo, lichen simplex chronicus, pruritus , nd psoriasis.
The steroid must be in the molecular state such as a solution which obviates a dissolution rate in order to obtain maximum therapeutic activity. The topical clear water-white vehicle disclosed herein containing the steroid has the advantage of a solution, i.e., the product is a clear water-white gel that demonstrates the solubility of the steroid within the vehicle. This concept is in contrast with. the prior art's opague emulsion type cream which may mask crystallization of the steroid within the matrix of a water insoluble component or the aqueous phase. Also, said concept is in contrast with the prior art which disclose formulations which include a combination of miscible volatile and non-volatile solvent as a vehicle.
See German Offenlegungsschrift 2,015,300.
It is an object of this invention to provide a potent topically active anti-inflammatory agent which shows a good separation between local and systemic activities.
It is a further object of this invention to pro-vide a topical dosage form of the active agent having optimum stability and optimum release characteristics from a non-irritating vehicle to the skin to obtain maximum therapeutic effect.
Another object of this invention is to provide a vehicle which possesses maximum skin penetrating properties, thus requiring a smaller quantity of the active agent for an effective local treatment.
In accordance with this invention, it is found that 2'-(4-pyridyl) -6,16a-dimethyl-ll3,17a,21-trihydroxy-pregna-4,6-dieno [3,2-c] -pyrazol-20-one, an anti-inflam-matory steroid can be administered to humans by applying topically a solution of the steroid in a clear water-white gel vehicle to the skin of the patient thereby obtaining local activity of the steroid. Also, it is found that the topical administration of this composition results in local activity rather than systemic activity of the steroid thus alleviating the necessity of large dosages, side effects and other unfavorable conditions . The steroid in the clear water-white gel vehicle is highly substantive to the skin, possesses a high degree of local skin pen- etrating activity and in addition can be applied topically to the skin without occlusion.
The active ingredient employed in the practice of this invention is represented by Formula I below: The pharmaceutically acceptable salts of Formula I are to be considered within the scope of the invention. Re- presentative examples of said pharmaceutically acceptable salts are hydrohalide, perchlorate, picrate, acetate, sul- fate, phthalate, succinate, citrate, lactate and nitrate.
In order to ensure that a sufficient amount of the steroid, 2 ' - (4-pyridyl) -6, 16a-dimethyl-ll3, 17a, 21-tri- hydroxypregna- , 6-dieno [3,2-c] -pyrazol-20-one, is absorbed externally by topical application, it is necessary to em- ploy a vehicle which will permit an efficient absorption of the steroid through the skin. The essential ingredients of the clear water-white gel vehicle employed herein are water, at least one solvent and at least one thickening agent .
The solvent may constitute from about 60% to 90% of the gel vehicle. Representative solvents are ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, propylene glycol, glycerine, 2-octyl dodecanol and methyl pyrrolidine. Of particular preference is a combination of isopropyl alcohol and pro-pylene glycol at a 0.5 to 0.6 ratio constituting from about 80% to 90% of the gel vehicle. The solubility of the steroid in the solvent system should be at a minimum to obtain maximum partitioning of the steroid from the vehicle to the skin.
The thickening agent may constitute from 0.5 to 4% of the gel vehicle. Representative thickening agents are hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and B.F. Goodrich Carbopol 940 (Merck Index, 8th Edition, page 210, 1968) .
Water may constitute from about 8% to 18% of the gel vehicle. Of particular preference is from about 10% to 15% by weight.
Optionally, a stabilizing agent may be employed in the practice of the invention. When employed, said stabilizing agent may constitute from about 0.02% to 0.1% of the gel vehicle. Representative stabilizing agents are disodium edetate, sodium citrate, dipotassium edetate and citric acid. Of particular preference is disodium edetate at 0.05% by weight.
The pharmaceutical compositions oi this invention contain a clear water-white gel vehicle and 2 ' - (4-pyridyl) - 6 , 16a-dimethyl-ll3, 17α, 21-trihydroxypregna-4 , 6-dieno [3, 2-c] -pyrazol-20-HDne as ingredients thereof. The vehicle may constitute from 99% to 99.999% of the total formulation weight. The active ingredient may constitute from 0.001% to 1.0% of the total formulation weight. Of particular preference is the combination of from about 0.01% to 0.25% of the active ingredient and 99.75% to 99.99% of the clear water-white gel vehicle to the total weight of the composition. The formulations included herein are effective in the treatment of topical inflammatory conditions in patients .
It will be understood, however, that the specific dose level for any particular patient will depend upon a variety of factors including the age, body weight, general health, sex, diet, time of administration, rate of excretion, drug combination and the severity of the particular area undergoing therapy. Of particular preference is the application of the formulation to the skin 2 to 4 times daily.
The steroid employed in this invention is disclosed in Patent Specification No. 40485, wherein it is taught as an anti-inflamma ory agent. Also, see U.S. Patent No. 3,067,194.
The active agent, 2 *- (4-pyridyl) -6,16a-dimethyl- 11β, 17a,21-trihydroxypregna-4, 6-dieno [3,2-c] -pyrazol-20-one, employed in the formulations herein above described, is prepared as follows : A mixture of 7.30 g. of 4-chloropyridine, 8.63 g. of benzoylhydrazine and 25 cc of anhydrous ethanol is heated in a bomb tube under pressure at a temperature of 120°C for a period of approximately 14 hours . The reaction mixture is cooled, extracted first with hot ethanol and then with hot water, and the aqueous and ethanol extracts are combined and evaporated to dryness. The residue material is crystal-lized twice from a mixture of one part methanol to two parts ethyl acetate to give N- (4-pyridyl) benzyhydrazide; m.p. 225-231°C.
A mixture of 2.08 g. of N- (4-pyridyl) benzhydra-zide and 15 cc of 23% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution is heated under reflux for a period of about 3 hours. The resulting mixture is cooled to about 0°C, filtered, and the filtered solution is evaporated to dryness . The cry-stalline product is washed with one 15 cc-portion of hot methanol, and with three 10 cc-portions of cold methanol; the crystalline material is then dried to give substantially pure 4-hydrazino-pyridine hydrochloride m.p. 245-250°C.
A solution containing approximately 0.4 g. of 4-hydrazino-pyridine hydrochloride dissolved in about 12 cc of an 8:2 mixture of ethanol-water is added to a solution containing two molecular equivalents of potassium acetate dissolved in 5 cc of water. To the resulting mixture is added a solution containing about one gram of 2-hydroxy-methylene-6 , 16a-dimethyl-ll -hydroxy-17 ,20:20, 21-bis (methy-lenedioxy) -pregna-4 , 6-diene-3-one dissolved in about 25 cc of warm ethanol. The resulting solution is heated at re- flux temperature for a period of approximately 4 hours, at the end of which time about 10 cc of solvent is evaporated, whereupon crystalline material separates from the reaction solution. The resulting crystalline slurry is diluted with an equal volume of water, and the insoluble material is re- covered by filtration and dried to give about 1.3 g. of crude product which, upon crystallization from methylene chloride-ethanol solution, gives substantially pure 2*(4-pyridyl) -6, 16a-dimethy1-11β-hydroxy-17 ,20:20 , 21-bis (methyl-enedioxy) -pregna-4, 6-diene [3, 2-c] -pyrazole; m.p. 276-283°C. The mother liquors lirom the recrystallization are subjected to thin-layer chromatography on silica gel, utilizing 8% methanol as eluting solvent, to give an additional 2,(4-pyridyl) -6, 16a-dimethyl-ll -hydroxy-17 ,20:20, 21-bis (methyl-enedioxy) -pregna-4, 6-diene [3,2-c] -pyrazole.
A solution containing 0.365 g. of 2 (4-pyridyl) -6,16a-dimethyl-ll3-hydroxy-17,20:20,21-bis (methylenedxoxy) -pregna-4, 6-dieno [3, 2-c] -pyrazole dissolved in 7 ml. of a 6:4 mixture of formic acid and water, is heated at a tem-perature of about 95-98°C for a period of approximately twenty-five minutes. The reaction mixture is cooled to about 0°C, made alkaline by the addition of aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, and the resulting suspension is ex-tracted with three 7 ml.-portions of ethyl acetate. The combined ethyl acetate extracts are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the dry ethyl acetate solution is evaporated in vacuo to give crude material which, upon recrystallization from methylene chloride, gives substan-tially pure 2' -(4-pyridyl) -6, 16a-dimethyl-20-oxo-ll ,17a-21-trihydroxy-pregna-4, 6-dieno [2, ] -c] -pyrazole; m.p. 209-213°C.
