Definitions

  • This invention concerns high purity bases of 3,3-diphenylpropylamino monoesters, their manufacture and their use as drugs, in particular for transdermal and transmucosal administration.
  • the dysfunction lies in a malfunction of the bladder muscle. Frequently the cause is a stimulation or more precisely a hyperactivity of the muscarinic receptors. For this reason use of the antimuscarinic active ingredients Tolterodin and Oxybutynin is preferred for the treatment of the hyperactive bladder and the associated symptoms such as increased urinary urgency, abnormally frequent micturation or nocturia.
  • oxybutynin is an effective antimuscarinic agent that has serious side effects. Notably the pronounced dryness of the mouth is felt by many patients to be extremely unpleasant.
  • Tolterodin By comparison with Oxybutynin Tolterodin appears to exhibit lower muscarinic side effect rates.
  • Tolterodin In an organism Tolterodin is predominantly dealkylated into active main metabolites 2-[3-(1,1-diisopropylamino)-1-phenylpropyl]-4-(hydroxy methyl)phenol by the cytochrome P450-isoenzyme 2D6 as well as—slowly—into inactive metabolites by the cytochrome P 450 isoenzyme 3A4.
  • Tolterodin is metabolized exclusively through the P450-isoenzyme, there is the potential danger of interactions with the breakdown of other agents, for example, with Warfarin (Colucci, Annals of Pharmacotherapy 33, 1999, 1173), antimycotics such as Ketoconazol (Brynne, Br J Clin Pharmacol 48, 1999, 564) macrolide antibiotics or protease inhibitors.
  • This danger is present particularly in the case of the so-called slow metabolizers, which have a lack of 2D6, metabolize Tolterodin exclusively through 3A4 and exhibit a distinctly increased Tolterodin concentration in plasma.
  • WO 99/58 478 describes new derivates of 3,3-diphenylpropylamines as active muscarinic ingredients.
  • the disclosed 3,3-diphenylpropylamine-derivates are prodrugs from 2-[3-(1,1-diisopropylamino)-1-phenylpropyl]-4-(hydroxy-methyl)phenol and are hydrolyzed by esterases upon entering through biological membranes as well as in plasma. For this reason the 2D6-dependent degradation device does not apply.
  • the bases of 3,3-diphenylpropylamines published in WO 99/58478 are manufactured by 2-(3-diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethylphenol being converted under alkaline conditions with an appropriate acid chloride, for example, isobutyric acid chloride (see Example Execution 3aa of WO 99/58478).
  • an appropriate acid chloride for example, isobutyric acid chloride
  • the product consistently contains 6-10% impurities of the starting substance (A), the used acylation agent as well as undesired reaction products in the form of the corresponding di-ester of the acylating reagent used (C) of the monoester (D) of the 4-hydroxy group (see FIG. 1 ) as well as by dimerization/polymerization.
  • WO 01/35957 teaches stable, crystalline salts of 3-3-diphenylpropylamine derivates, which, compared with the amorphic salts have the advantage of higher stability and higher purity.
  • Salts of this sort are basically suitable for therapeutic administration and may, for example, be used for oral or parenteral treatment.
  • the salt of the active ingredient is less suitable in many situations because its ionized form hinders passage of the skin or the mucous membrane in therapeutically effective amounts. If a transdermal or transmucosal application is desired, then the active ingredient that contains amines has to be frequently applied in the form of the base.

  • matrices for example, that contain polyacrylates, in particular polyacrylates with polar groups, EVA or mixtures of silicone adhesives with hydrophilic polymers, for example, PVP or PEO, (Table 4). TABLE 4 Stabilization of fesoterodine in various matrices during storage 5° C.
  • fesoterodine in matrices consisting of EVA adhesives, polyacrylate adhesives or mixtures of silicone adhesives with hydrophilic polymers such as PEO or PVP leads to a distinct stabilization of the fesoterodine and is independent of the manufacturing process (the hot melt or the solvent procedure).
  • One form of execution of the invention therefore concerns matrices or pharmaceutical formulations or devices in which the compounds of the general Formula I as a free base are subject to a slower drop in concentration than is the case if the free base is stored under identical conditions, not embedded in a polymer as an oil.
  • Preferred forms of execution are those which at 5° C. and/or at 25° C. lead to a 2-, 3-, 7- or 10-fold stabilization of the 3,3-diphenylpropylamine monoester by comparison with storage as a free base.
  • Especially preferred pharmaceutical formulations or devices in compliance with the invention are those in which the free base is present in a polymer layer, in which a drop in concentration of a compound of the general Formula I of less than 3%, preferably of less than 2% or 1% in the case of 6-month storage at 4° C. and of less than 10%, preferably less than 5% and especially preferably less than 3% or 1.5% in the case of 3-month storage at 25° C. and 60% atmospheric moisture occurs.
  • Preferred matrices are those which contain 50-95 percent by weight of an contact adhesive that is chosen from the group of the
  • matrices in compliance with the invention are polyacrylates, in particular those with polar groups. These matrices exhibit both an excellent releasing profile for fesoterodine and outstanding stabilization properties for 3,3-diphenyl propylamine monoesters.
  • TTS sizes of approximately 50 cm 2 are accepted by patients.
  • the size of the TUS is typically up to 40 cm 2 , preferably sizes are between 5 and 35 cm 2 and especially preferably between 10 and 30 cm 2 .
  • the matrix weight of the TTS typically varies between 30 and 300 g/m 2 , whereby the matrices with a weight of 40-200 g/m 2 and especially 40-150 g/m 2 , are preferred.
  • the loading of the active ingredient depends on the absorption/liberation capacity of the respective matrix for the active ingredient as well as on the manufacturing procedure.
  • the loading rate of the active ingredient makes sense between 5 and approximately 40 percent by weight based on the total weight of the matrix containing the active ingredient whereby the lower maximum loading rates between 7 and 30 percent by weight are preferred, and in particular between 8 and 20 percent by weight for the manufacture of a 1-3 day TTS. If a medicine is to be manufactured for a 7-day administration of a compound of the general Formula I, then comparatively higher active ingredient concentrations above, for example, 15-40 percent by weight are used.
  • the loading lies preferably at a minimum of 2 mg/m 2 .
  • Another object of the invention is a method as a prevention and/or treatment of is incontinence, hyperactivity of the detrusor, hyperactivity of the bladder, pollakisuria, nocturia or imperative urinary urgency through the administration of a compound of the general Formula I as a free base, and with the degree of purity in compliance with the invention as described in the above, on a mammal, in particular on a person, who requires the prevention against or the treatment of the above named diseases.
  • the batch was washed once with each of 250 ml water, 250 ml. approximate 5% aqueous NaHCO 3 solution and 250 ml water.
  • the dichloromethane extract dried over Na 2 SO 4 was evaporated to a low small bulk on a rotary evaporator to constant weight, whereby a pale yellow, high viscosity oil was left.
  • Fesoterodine (107.7 mg (R)-2-(3-Diisopropylamino-1-phenylpropyl)-4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl isobutyric acid ester, B) is covered with a layer distilled water and stirred at room temperature. After two days of stirring, the reaction batch remains unchanged two-phase. No organic material (B or E) could be detected by thin layer chromatography in the aqueous phase at the top (silica gel, solvent system petroleum ether/acetone/triethylamine, 70/20/10 percent by volume).
  • 8.5 g of a silicone-based contact adhesive mixture from the silicone adhesive Bio-PSA 7-4300 (Dow Corning, Mich.) was heated to 150° C. with 5 percent by weight ozokerite or ceresine (obtainable from Dow Corning) for around 20 minutes until a homogenous melt came into being.
  • 1.5 g fesoterodine (high purity free base) was added and the mixture kept for a further 5 minutes at 150° C.
  • the mixture was then homogenized by hand and laminated onto a pre-warmed foil (120° C., gap width 250 ⁇ m). 5 cm 2 pieces were cut out for the releasing tests.
  • Belly and back skin in a thickness of approximately 120 to 150 ⁇ m was used for the flux measurements through mouse skin in a horizontal diffusion cell.
  • the measurement of the active ingredient flux through the skin preparation is made per HPLC (tower spherisorb 5CN 25 cm) under the following conditions: 4 parts by volume acetonitrile/6 parts by volume H 2 O/0.1% parts by volume TFA, 35° C., 225 nm, 1 ml flux
  • a HPLC method was used to determine the chemical purity of fesoterodine that is based on the separation at a stationary reversed phase and used for the gradient elution of a solvent.
