Description
96903/2 D> > an >αιρα vno>\yt? ninpn >-t>¾on Topical pharmaceutical compositions comprising la , 25-dihydroxycholecaliferol F. HOFFMANN-LA ROCHE AG. , C: 82226/2 RAN 4051/23 The present invention relates to topical pharmaceutical compositions comprising la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol in a suitable topical pharmaceutical carrier wherein said topical compositions are emulsions having a pH of about 6.5 to about 7.5. Compositions of the invention include aesthetically elegant vanishing creams. Compositions of the invention have excellent stability at both room temperature and elevated temperatures.
In the past, topical pharmaceutical compositions con-taining la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol have had stability problems due to the sensitive nature of the la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol . It has been unexpectedly found that the stability of topical pharmaceutical compositions which contain la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol and which are emulsions can be improved by adjusting the pH the aqueous phase so that the range of the pH of the topical compositions is about 6.5 to about 7.5. preferably about 6.8 to about 7.2. The most preferred pH of the topical compositions is about 7.0.
As used herein emulsions include oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions, and multiple emulsions.
As used herein a topical pharmaceutical carrier comprises a mixture of a viscosity agent, a lipophilic solubilizing agent, a hydrophilic solubilizing agent, an emulsifier. an emollient, a preservative, an antioxidant, a chelating agent, and a humectant.

The preferred compositions of the invention are aesthetically elegant oil-in-water vanishing skin creams and water-in-oil skin creams.
The pH of the compositions of the invention is in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.5, preferably about 6.8 to about 7.2. The most preferred pH of the compositions of the invention is about 7.0. To achieve this pH, the aqueous phase of a composition of the invention is adjusted, preferably buffered to a pH of about 7.0 to about 8.0. In this manner the resulting pH of the final composition is in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.5, preferably 7.0.

The topical pharmaceutical carrier materials of the invention are slightly acidic. Accordingly, in order to obtain a topical pharmaceutical composition within the desired pH range of about 6.5 to about 7.5, it is necessary that the aqueous phase be adjusted to that pH. Suitable agents for adjusting the pH to the desired range are sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide or buffering agents e.g. a mixture of sodium citrate and citric acid; a mixture of tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane and tris (hydroxymethyl ) aminomethane hydrochloride; or disodium phosphate. Other buffers which are compatible with topical pharmaceutical compositions may also be used. The buffering agent is preferably disodium phosphate. Determining the pH for the aqueous phase, which will be mixed with particular pharmaceutical carrier materials, so that a final pH between about 6.5 to about 7.5 is achieved, is within the skill of the ordinary artisan. Ordinarily, when the pH of the aqueous phase is in the range of about 7.0 to about 8.0 this will result in a final topical pharmaceutical composition whose pH is in the range of about 6.5 to about 7.5.
In the procedure for preparing the topical pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention, the la, 25-dihydroxy- cholecalciferol is dissolved in the oil phase. The oil phase and the aqueous phase are then mixed to form the final emulsion.
The topical pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention contain from about 0.00001% (w/w) to about 0.1% (w/w) preferably 0.0005 % (w/w) to about 0.005 % (w/w) of la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol . The topical pharmaceutical compositions of the invention which are oil-in-water emulsions can be prepared by incorporating la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol into carrier formulations, by mixing in the following steps: Step 1: la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol is dissolved in a hydrophilic solubilizer such as propylene glycol under nitrogen. It is preferred to keep the resulting solution at about room temperature until its use in Step 4 below so as to avoid degradation of the la.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol .
Step 2: All hydrophilic ingredients are weighed out, and added to water. The pH of the mixture is adjusted to the range of about 7.0 to about 8.0. The resulting mixture is heated with stirring until a maximum temperature of about 70°C to about 75°C is achieved. The resulting solution is the aqueous phase of the final emulsion.
Step 3: All lipophilic ingredients are mixed together, and heated with stirring until a maximum temperature of about 70°C to about 75°C is achieved. The resulting solution is the oil phase of final emulsion.
Step 4: Under nitrogen, the solution from Step 1 is then added to the oil phase of Step 3 while stirring is continued and the temperature is maintained at about 70° to about 75°C. Additional propylene glycol is used to wash the vessel which contained the solution from Step 1. This wash is added to the mixture of Step 4.
Step 5: Under nitrogen, the oil phase from Step 4 is added to the aqueous phase from Step 2 using a homogenizer to disperse the resulting emulsion. Homogenization is continued until the droplet size of the oil droplets in the emulsion is about 1 to about 20 microns. Then homogenization is stopped, and gentle stirring is conducted until the emulsion cools to room temperature.
The above procedure for preparing topical pharmaceutical compositions of the invention is further exemplified in the examples below.
The topical pharmaceutical compositions of the invention are used by applying an effective amount to the areas to be treated, for example, by rubbing the composition into the psoriatic skin or spreading the composition on the psoriatic skin.
The following examples serve to illustrate in more detail but are not intended to limit the invention.
