Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to compositions containing amorphous efavirenz and methods for producing amorphous efavirenz. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for preparing amorphous efavirenz utilizing at least one solubility-enhancing polymer.
  • the efavirenz is dissolved in a solvent containing the polymer.
  • a blend of solvent/non-solvent for the polymer is employed.
  • the amorphous efavirenz product can be produced by any method suitable to the composition. When necessary, solvent can be removed from compositions to yield the amorphous efavirenz product.
  • efavirenz-polymer-solvent (or a solvent/non-solvent blend) is spray dried to produce efavirenz in a form that exhibits improved bioavailability.
  • the bioenhanced efavirenz composition can be prepared by methods other than spray drying as recognized by those skilled in the art. Those methods include, without limitation: melt extrusion, spray congealing, granulation and freeze drying.
  • a significant portion of the efavirenz is provided in the amorphous state.
  • the efavirenz is converted almost entirely to the amorphous state.
  • the efavirenz is converted to the completely amorphous state.
  • Efavirenz is (S)-6-chloro-4-(cyclopropylethynyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-2H-3,1-benzoxazin-2-one. It is a benzoxazinone useful as a non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (NNRTI) and may be used in combination with other anti-retroviral agents for the treatment of HIV-1 infection in children and adults.
  • NRTI non-nucleoside inhibitor of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase
  • Efavirenz is currently available in dosage forms containing 50 mg, 100 mg, 200 mg, and 600 mg of active. These dosage forms contain efavirenz in microcrystalline form and one or more disintegrants such as croscarmellose sodium to aid in tablet disintegration and dissolution. As described in WO99/64405, crystalline efavirenz exists in several physical forms that can be characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
  • PXRD powder X-ray diffraction
  • DSC differential scanning calorimetry
  • efavirenz exhibiting enhanced bioavailability compared to the crystalline form of the compound.
  • aqueous solubility and bioavailability are increased.
  • efavirenz presented as an amorphous solid may facilitate manufacturing of both the active ingredient and the finished product and enable the use of reduced size dosage forms.
  • the selective customization of the properties of particles comprising efavirenz can offer intriguing opportunities for pharmaceutical production and drug delivery.
  • the morphology of individual particles plays a central role in this pursuit, since morphology directly influences bulk powder properties, such as density, residual solvent content, and flowability.
  • techniques that modify particle shape and interior structure may profoundly affect pharmacokinetic properties, such as drug release rate, solubility, and bioavailability.
  • the ability to design particle morphology has significant implications for the production process and product attributes.
  • the present invention provides compositions and methods for producing amorphous efavirenz.
  • a composition comprising a solid dispersion of efavirenz and at least one solubility-enhancing polymer wherein the efavirenz in the dispersion is substantially amorphous is provided in certain embodiments of the present invention.
  • the disclosed invention describes the conversion of crystalline efavirenz to the amorphous state.
  • One method for producing this conversion is through solvent spray drying.
  • Other techniques that accomplish this conversion include, without limitation: flash solvent evaporation, melt-congeal spraying, freeze drying, and melt-extrusion. These methods can use a single solubility-enhancing polymer or blends of polymers.
  • the degree of efavirenz amorphous conversion depends on various factors, including, but not limited to, polymer type and amount and processing conditions.
  • a single organic solvent, blends of solvents, or solvent/non-solvent blends can be used.
  • the invention relates to spray-dried powders or granulated products comprising amorphous efavirenz.
  • the resulting powders produced in accordance with certain embodiments typically possess lower residual solvent content and higher tap density than their counterparts produced by conventional methods, due to a change in the particle morphology and size.
  • a system of polymers can be used to modify not only particle morphology, but also the pharmacokinetic properties of the active.
  • amorphous efavirenz prepared from compositions containing efavirenz and a solubility-enhancing polymer in a solvent or solvent blend.
  • This solvent or solvent blend includes one or more solvents in which the polymer is soluble.
  • soluble means that the attractive force between polymer and solvent molecules is greater than the competing inter- and intramolecular attractive forces between polymer molecules. For simplicity, this solvent is simply called “solvent.”
  • Compositions also are described in which the solvent blend contains a solvent for which the opposite is true: The attractive force between polymer and solvent molecules is less than the inter- and intramolecular attractive force between polymer molecules. This second solvent is termed the “non-solvent.” The polymer may swell but does not dissolve in the non-solvent.
  • a solubility-enhancing polymer and a suitable solvent/non-solvent blend are provided.
  • the solvent possesses a lower boiling point than the non-solvent.
  • the solvent and non-solvent are miscible. The ratio of solvent to non-solvent is such that the polymer can be considered “dissolved” in the solvent system.
  • Unique particle properties can be created by evaporating the solvent/non-solvent blend. For example, this evaporation can occur during the spray drying of the feed solution or granulation processes.
  • Atomized droplets containing a blend of solvents will experience a change in the total solvent composition due to evaporation. The method appears to be independent of how the droplets are generated or atomized. Initially, the polymer exists in a dissolved state, due to a sufficient amount of the solvent. As it evaporates (the solvent boils at a lower temperature than the non-solvent), the concentration of non-solvent in the droplet increases. Eventually, the solvent composition is insufficient to maintain the polymer in solution. In doing so, the polymer collapses from solution. This change in polymer conformation can alter the evaporation dynamics of the droplet to create particle morphologies that influence final powder properties.
  • the primary polymer may be paired with the solvent/non-solvent system in order to affect not only the morphology of the particle, but also that of the efavirenz, and thereby affect the efavirenz loading, crystallinity, solubility, stability and release.
  • additional polymers may contribute to the final particle morphology by their interaction with the first polymer and the solvent system. These additional polymers may also be advantageous to create special release properties of the active.
  • the primary polymer may be paired with the solvent/non-solvent system in order to affect particle morphology, and thereby residual solvent content and bulk powder density.
  • Additional polymeric adjuvants may be added to serve additional purposes: further inhibit active recrystallization, further maximize active concentration, and further enhance/delay/retard dissolution rate. To accomplish these functionalities, it is necessary to suitably match the adjuvant solubilities with the solvent blend selected for the primary polymer.

  • Light scattering methods such light scattering detectors (e.g., Triple Detector Array, Viscotek Corp.), can be used to determine the variables expressed in equation ⁇ 1. These concepts are defined in the text Polymer Chemistry, An Introduction , by Malcolm P. Stevens, which is incorporated by reference.
  • solvents When ⁇ equals unity, a special condition exists in that polymer-solvent and polymer-polymer forces are balanced. Solvents that enable this condition are called ⁇ solvents. Within the context of this invention, solvents are considered “good solvents” when ⁇ is about equal to 1 or more. It is appreciated that temperature influences ⁇ , such that a good solvent may be transformed into a non-solvent merely by changing the temperature.
  • the solvent blend also contains a solvent for which the opposite is true: Polymer-polymer forces dominate polymer-solvent forces. In this case, ⁇ is less than one and the solvent is termed a “non-solvent,” because the polymer exists in a collapsed state.
  • one polymer is provided with a suitable solvent/non-solvent blend.
  • the blend of solvent/non-solvent maintains a solvated state of the polymer, such that the polymer can be considered “dissolved” in the solvent system.

  • the ratio R c for a given system can be determined experimentally by identifying the mass fractions of each component that produce a significant increase in solution turbidity. If an R c value can be identified for a system, then the system comprises a solvent/non-solvent blend.
  • One example is a solution consisting of about 10% (w/w) polyvinylpyrrolidone, 18% (w/w) dichloromethane, and 72% (w/w) acetone, for which R c equals 0.80.
  • Polymer systems will typically be used at solvent/non-solvent blends that are below the R c value for the system.

  • the present invention in accordance with other embodiments provides a method to increase the density of spray-dried powders.
  • spray drying produces sphere-like particles with some degree of interior void. This void increases particle bulk without mass and creates low-density material.

  • the strong driving force for solvent evaporation is generally provided by maintaining the partial pressure of solvent in the spray drying apparatus well below the vapor pressure of the solvent at the temperatures of the drying droplets. This may be accomplished by either (1) maintaining the pressure in the spray drying apparatus at a partial vacuum; (2) mixing the liquid droplets with a warm drying gas; or (3) both.
  • the temperature and flow rate of the drying gas and spray dryer design are chosen so that the polymer/active solution droplets are dry enough by the time they reach the wall of the apparatus that they are essentially solid and so that they form a fine powder and do not stick to the apparatus wall. It is also possible to operate a spray dryer so that product collects on the apparatus wall, and then is collected by removing the material manually, pneumatically, mechanically or other means. The actual length of time to achieve the preferred level of dryness depends on the size of the droplets, the formulation, and spray dryer operation. Following the solidification, the solid powder may stay in the spray drying chamber for 5-60 seconds, further evaporating solvent from the solid powder.
  • the final solvent content of the solid dispersion as it exits the dryer should be low, since this improves the stability of the product.
  • the residual solvent content of the spray-dried composition should be less than about 10% by weight and preferably less than about 2% by weight.
  • the residual solvent content is within the limits set forth in the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) Guidelines.
  • ICH International Conference on Harmonization
  • Methods to further lower solvent levels include, but are not limited to fluid bed drying, infra-red drying, tumble drying, vacuum drying, and combinations of these and other processes. Additional detail with respect to a particular spray drying process is described in more detail in the examples. However, the operating conditions to spray dry a powder are well known in the art and can be easily adjusted by the skilled artisan. Furthermore, the examples describe results obtained with a laboratory scale spray dryer. One of ordinary skill in the art would readily appreciate the variables that must be modified to obtain similar results with a production scale unit.
  • compositions of the present invention may be prepared by other processes including, but not limited to, extrusion, spheronization and spray congealing.
  • Extrusion is a well-known method of applying pressure to a damp or melted composition until it flows through an orifice or a defined opening.
  • the extrudable length varies with the physical characteristics of the material to be extruded, the method of extrusion, and the process of manipulation of the particles after extrusion.
  • Various types of extrusion devices can be employed, such as screw, sieve and basket, roll, and ram extruders.
  • melt extrusion components can be melted and extruded with a continuous process with or without solvent and with or without inclusion of additives. Such a process is well-established and well-known to skilled practitioners in the art.
  • Spheronization is the process of converting material into spheres, the shape with the lowest surface area to volume ratio. Spheronization typically begins with damp extruded particles. The extruded particles are broken into uniform lengths instantaneously and gradually transformed into spherical shapes. In addition, powdered raw materials, which require addition of either liquid or material from a mixer, can be processed in an air-assisted spheronizer.
  • Spray congealing is a method that is generally used in changing the structure of the materials, to obtain free flowing powders from liquids and to provide pellets ranging in size from about 0.25 to 2.0 mm.
  • Spray congealing involves allowing a substance of interest to melt, disperse, or dissolve in a hot melt of other additives. The molten mixture is then sprayed into an air chamber wherein the temperature is below the melting point of the formulation components, to provide spherical congealed pellets. The temperature of the cooled air used depends on the freezing point of the product. The particles are held together by solid bonds formed from the congealed melts.
  • the particles Due to the absence of solvent evaporation in most spray congealing processes, the particles are generally non porous and strong, and remain intact upon agitation.
  • the characteristics of the final congealed product depend in part on the properties of the additives used.
  • the rate of feeding and inlet/outlet temperatures are adjusted to ensure congealing of the atomized liquid droplet.
  • the feed should have adequate viscosity to ensure homogeneity.
  • the conversion of molten feed into powder is a single, continuous step. Proper atomization and a controlled cooling rate are critical to obtain high surface area, uniform and homogeneous congealed pellets. Adjustment of these parameters is readily achieved by one skilled in the art.
  • the spray congealing method is similar to spray drying, except that solvent is not used. Instead, the active ingredient(s) is dispersed and/or melted into a matrix comprising melt-processable polymer(s). Spray congealing is a uniform and rapid process, and is completed before the product comes in contact with any equipment surface. Most actives and additives that are solid at room temperature and melt without decomposition are suitable for this method.
  • spray dryers operating with cool inlet air have been used for spray congealing.
  • atomization of molten mass can be employed, such as pressure, or pneumatic or centrifugal atomization.
  • pressure or pneumatic or centrifugal atomization.
  • formulation aspects such as matrix materials, viscosity, and processing factors, such as temperature, atomization and cooling rate affect the quality (morphology, particle size distribution, polymorphism and dissolution characteristics) of spray congealed pellets.
  • the spray congealed particles may be used in tablet granulation form, encapsulation form, or can be incorporated into a liquid suspension form.
