NZ 735338 B2 TITLE: COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE ENT OF MUCOSITIS COMPOSITIONS AND S FOR THE TREATMENT OF PRIORITY The t application claims the benefit of Indian Provisional Patent Application NO. 622/CHE/2015 filed on 09-February-2015, the entire disclosure of which is relied on for all purposes and is incorporated into this ation by reference.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION This disclosure generally relates to nds and compositions for the treatment of mucositis. More particularly, this invention relates to treating subjects with a pharrnaceutically acceptable dose of compounds, crystals, solvates, enantiomer, stereoisomer, esters, hydrates, prodrugs, or mixtures thereof.
OUND OF THE INVENTION Oral mucositis, also called stomatitis, is a common, debilitating complication of cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy, occurring in about 40% of patients. It s from the systemic s of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents and from the local effects of radiation to the oral mucosa. Oral mucositis is inflammation of the mucosa of the mouth which ranges from redness to severe ulceration.
Symptoms of mucositis vary from pain and discomfort to an inability to tolerate food or, fluids. Mucositis may also limit the patient’s ability to tolerate either chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Mucositis may be so severe as to delay treatment and so limit the effectiveness of cancer therapy. Patients with d oral mucosa and reduced immunity . resulting from chemotherapy and radiotherapy are also prone to opportunistic infections in the mouth. The mucositis may affectpatients' gum and dental condition, speech and Self esteem are reduced,’ further compromising patients’ response to treatment and/or palliative care. It is therefore extremely important that tis be prevented.
Some studies have also reported a distribution of these lesions on keratinized surfaces such as the hard palate and upper surface of the tongue. If ulcerations are noted in these areas, cultures and/or biopsies should be taken from the s to rule out viral infections or other causes. Redness and/or ulcerations, ranging. from a few millimeters to a few centimeters long, can appear. Bleeding from the ulcerations is common; however, bleeding often reflects a severe reduction in a t's platelet count, a condition called thrombocytopenia.
Managing acute pathology of often relies on the addressing ying pathology and symptoms of the disease. There is currently a need in the art for new compositions to treatment or delay of the onset of mucositis and its associated cations progression.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood to one of ordinary skill in the art.
Compounds that have the same molecular formula but differ in the nature or sequence of bonding of their atoms or the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "isomers." Isomers that differ in the arrangement of their atoms in space are termed "stereoisomers." DiaStereom'ers are stereoisomers with opposite configuration at one or more chiral centers which are not enantiomers. Stereoisomers g one or more asymmetric centers that are non- superimposable mirror images of each other are termed iomers." When a compound. has an asymmetric center, for example, if a carbon atom is bonded to four different groups, a pair of enantiomers is possible. An enantiomer can be characterized by the absolute configuration of its asymmetric center or centers and is described by the R— and S-sequencing rules of Cahn, lngold ' and Prelog, or by the manner in which the molecule rotates the plane of polarized light and designated as 'dextrorotatory or levorotatory (i.e., as (+) or (—)-isomers respectively).

Formulations with different drug e mechanisms bed above could be combined in a final dosage form containing'single or multiple units. es of le units include‘multilayer tablets, capsules containing tablets, beads, or granules in a solid or liquid form. .Typical, immediate release formulatiOns include compressed tablets, gels, films, coatings, liquids and particles that can be encapsulated, fer example, in a gelatin capsule. Many methods for preparing coatings, covering or orating drugs, are known in the art.
The immediate release dosage, unit of the dosage form, i.e., a tablet, a plurality of drug- containing beads, granules or particles, or an outer layer of a coated core dosage form, contains a therapeutically effective quantity of the active agent with conventional pharmaceutical excipients. The immediate release dosage unit may or may not be coated, and may or may not be admixed with the delayed release dosage unit or units (as in an encapsulated mixture of immediate release drug-containing granules, les or beads and delayed release drug- containing granules or heads). a Extended release formulations are generally prepared as diffusion or osmotic s, for example, as described in "Remington—The Science and Practice of Pharmacy", 20th. Ed., Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore, Md., 2000). A diffusion system typically consists of one of two types of devices, reservoir and matrix, which are wellknown and described in die art.
The matrix devices are generally prepared bycompressing the drug with a slowly dissolving polymer carrier into a tablet form.
An ate release portion can be added to the extended release system by means of either applying an immediate release layer on top of the extended release core; using coating or ssion processes or in a multiple unit system such as a capsule containing ed and ate release beads.
Delayed release dosage ations are created by coating a solid dosage form with a film. of a polymer which is insoluble in the acid environment of the h, but soluble in the neutral nment of small intestines. The delayed release dosage units can be prepared, for example, by coating a drug or a drug-containing composition with a selected coating material.
The drug-containing composition may be a tablet for incorporation into a e, a tablet for use as an inner core in a "coated core" dosage form, or alplurality of drug-containing'beads, particles or granules, for incorporation into either a tablet-or capsule.
A pulsed release dosage form is one that mimics a multiple dosing profile t repeated dosing and typically allows at least a twofold reduction in dosing frequency as ed to-the drug presented as a conventional dosage form (e.g., as a solution or prompt drug—releasing, conventional solid dosage form). A pulsed release profile is characterized by a time period of no release (lag time) or reduced release followed by rapid drug release.
‘ Each dosage form contains a therapeutically effective amount of active agent. In one embodiment ofdosage forms that mimic a twice daily dosing profile, approximately 30 wt. % to 70 wt. %, preferably 40 wt. % to 60 wt. %, of the total amount of active agent in the dosage form is released in the initial pulse, and, correspondingly approximately 70 wt. % to 3.0 wt. %, preferably 60 wt; % to 40 wt. %, of the total amount of active agent in the dosage form is released in the second pulse. For dosage forms mimicking the twice daily dosing profile, the second pulsei’s,‘ preferably ed approximately 3 hours to less than 14 hours, and more preferably approximately 5 hours to 12 hours, following administration.
Another dosage form contains a compressed tablet or a capsule having a drug- containing immediate release dosage unit, a delayed release dosage unit and an optional second delayed release dosage unit. In this dosage form, the immediate e dosage unit contains a plurality of beads, granules particles that release .drug substantially immediately ing oral administration to provide an initial dose. Thedelayed release dosage unit contains a plurality of coated beadsor granules, which release drug approximately 3 hours to 14 hours following oral . administration to provide a second dose.

Methods of delivering a composition or compositions via a transdermal patch are known in the art. Exemplary patches-and methods of patch delivery are described in US Patent Nos. 6,974,588, 6,564,093, 6,312,716, 6,440,454, 6,267,983, 180, and 6,103,275.
In another embodiment, a transdermal patch may comprise: a ate sheet comprising a composite film formed of a resin composition comprising 100 parts by weight of a nyl chloride-polyurethane composite and 2-10 parts by weight of a styrene-ethylene; butylene-styrene copolymer, a first adhesive layer on the one side lof the composite film, and a polyalkylene terephthalate film adhered to the one side of the composite film by means of the first adhesive layer, a primer layer which comprises a saturated polyester resin and is formed on the surface of the polyalkylene terephthalate film; and a second adhesive layer comprising a styrene-diene-styrene block copolymer containing a pharmaceutical agent d on the primer layer. A method for the manufacture of the above-mentioned sribstrate sheet comprises ing the above resin composition molding the resin composition into a composite film by a calendar process, and then adhering a polyalkylene terephthalate film on one side of the composite film by means of an adhesive layer thereby forming the substrate sheet, and forming a primer layer sing a saturated polyester resin on the outer surface of the kylene terephthalate film.
Another type of patch comprises incorporating the drug directly in a pharmaceutically acceptable adhesive and laminating the drug-containing adhesive onto a suitable backing member, e.g. a polyester backing membrane. The drug sh0uld be present at a concentration which will not affect the adhesive properties, and at the same time deliver the required clinical dose. ' ] Transdermal patches may be passive or active. Passive transdermal drug delivery systems currently available, such as the nicotine, estrogen and nitroglycerine patches, deliver small-molecule drugs. Many of the newly developed proteins and peptide-drugs are too large to be delivered through passive transderrnal patches and may ivered using technology such as electrical assist (iontophoresis) for large-molecule drugs.' Iontophoresis is a que employed for ing the flux of ionized nces through membranes by application of electric current. One example of an iontophoretic membrane is given in US. Pat. 'No. 5,080,646 to. TheeuwesrThe principal mechanisms by which iontophoresis enhances molecular ort across the skin are (a) repelling a charged ion from an electrode of the same charge, an) oosmosis, the convective movement of solvent that occurs through a charged pore in response the preferential passage of counter-ions when an electric field is applied or (c) increase skin permeability due to application of electrical current.
In some cases, it may be desirable to administer in the form of a kit, it may se a container for containing the separate itions such as a divided bettle- or a divided foil packet. Typically the kit comprises directions for the administration of the separate ents.
The kit form is ularly advantageous when the separate components are preferably administered in ent dosage forms (e.g., oral and eral), are administered at different. , dosage intervals, or when ion of the individual components of the combination is desired by the prescribing physician.
An example of such a kit is a so-called blister pack. Blister packs are well known in the packaging industry and are widely used for the packaging of pharmaceutical unit dosage forms (tablets, capsules, and the like). Blister packs generally consist of a sheet of relatively stiff material covered with a ”foil of a plastic material that may be transparent. ] s and compositions for the treatment of mucositis.
