Definitions
- This invention relates to a transdermal delivery system and to a method of transdermal delivery of hormones and steroids.
- Steroids and hormones include sex hormones and certain adrenocortical hormones (corticosteroids).
- the corticosteroids have numerous and diversified physiological functions and pharmacological effects. They influence carbohydrate, protein, fat, and purine metabolism; electrolyte and water balance; and the functions of the cardiovascular system, the kidney, skeletal muscle, nervous system, and other organs and tissues.
- the corticosteroids are used for treating hormonal insufficiencies, inflammation, and other conditions, whereas the sex hormones are widely used for contraception and hormonal insufficiencies, as well as for treating other conditions.
- sex steroids The two main classes of sex steroids are androgens and estrogens, of which the most important human derivatives are testosterone and estradiol (17 ⁇ -estradiol), respectively.
- Other contexts will include progestagen as a third class of sex steroids, distinct from androgens and estrogens.
- Progesterone is the only naturally-occurring human progestagen.
- Progestins are synthetic sex hormones used in contraception either alone or with estradiol. Androgens are often referred to as “male sex hormones”, since they have masculinizing effects, while estrogens and progestagens are considered “female sex hormones” although all types are present in each gender, albeit at different levels. Androgens may be used in treatment of reduced libido or in treatment of depression in both men and women.
- transdermal delivery has received increased attention because it not only provides a potentially simple dosage regime but it also provides a relatively controlled route for release of a hormone into the systemic circulation.
- transdermal drug delivery is complicated by the fact that the skin behaves as a natural barrier and therefore transport of agents through the skin is a complex mechanism.
- the skin consists of two principle parts, a relatively thin outermost layer (the ‘epidermis’) and a thicker inner region (the ‘dermis’).
- the outermost layer of the epidermis (the ‘stratum corneum’) consists of flattened dead cells which are filled with keratin.
- the region between the flattened dead cells of the stratum corneum is filled with lipids which form lamellar phases that are responsible for the natural barrier properties of the skin.
- the agent For effective transdermal delivery of a pharmacological agent that is applied to the surface of the skin (‘topical application’), the agent must partition firstly from the vehicle into the stratum corneum, it must typically then diffuse within the stratum corneum before partitioning from the stratum corneum to the viable epidermis.
- a transdermal “patch” typically consists of a matrix or reservoir containing the drug to be administered, together with a backing layer, an adhesive and a protective release liner. Release membranes may also be incorporated.
- the delivery of drugs through these systems is either through passive diffusion, controlled by a semi-permeable release membrane, or is controlled by the adhesive/adhesive matrix.
- the system may also incorporate drug penetration enhancers to increase the flux of the drug through the skin.
- the rate of drug delivery across a dermal surface can be increased by dermal penetration enhancers.
- dermal penetration enhancers are often toxic, irritating or allergenic. These enhancers tend to be proton accepting solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide and dimethylacetamide.
- 2-pyrrolidine, N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (Deet), 1-dodecal-azacycloheptane-2-one (Azone), N,N dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidine and calcium thioglycolate have been reported as effective enhancers.
- difficulties remain with because the problem of irritation at the site of application. and/or difficulty in providing sufficient enhancement of transdermel absorption.
- the invention provides a transdermal delivery system comprising a composition comprising at least one agent selected from hormones and steroids, and a penetration enhancer comprising a polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight no more than 300.
- the invention provides a method of transdermal administration of an active agent to an animal subject, including a human, comprising application to a dermal surface of the animal of the above described transdermal delivery system.
- the invention provides use of (i) polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight no more than 300 and (ii) at least one agent selected from hormones and steroids in manufacture of a medicament for transdermal administration to a subject by application of the medicament to an area of the skin surface of the subject.
- the medicament may be for treatment of an insufficient level of a hormone such as a sex hormone or for contraception.
- the invention comprises a composition comprising a pharmacological agent selected from steroids and hormones and a penetration enhance for application to an area of skin of a subject.
- the composition may be for treatment of an insufficient level of a hormone such as a sex hormone, for hormone replacement therapy or contraception.
- the invention provides a method of preparing a transdermal delivery system for administration to an area of dermal surface of an animal the method comprising combining at least one pharmacological agent selected from hormones and steroids and a penetration enhancer comprising polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight no more than 300.
- the invention comprises a transdermal delivery system comprising a spray apparatus comprising a container for a transdermal composition a spray nozzle and an actuator for delivering a metered dose of spray from the container via the nozzle, wherein the transdermal composition comprises at least one pharmacological agent selected from hormones and steroids and a penetration enhancer component comprising polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight no more than 300.
- the transdermal delivery system will preferably be applied in a dose sufficient to provide an effective amount of at least one pharmacological agent in the bloodstream of the animal.
- the animal is a human but the invention also extends to the treatment of non-human animals.
- polyethylene glycol does not include diethylene glycol (although diethylene glycol may if desired be present as an additional component).
- Polyethylene glycol of average molecular weight no more than 300 includes polyethylene glycol of nominal average molecular weight 200 and 300 wherein the average molecular weight is not more than 110% and not less than 90% (preferably not more than 105% and not less than 95%) of the nominated value.
- Polyethylene glycol is of formula H—[OCH 2 CH 2 ] n —OH.
- An average molecular weight of no more than 300 means the average value of n is at least 3 and is generally from 3 to 6 such as 3, 4, 5 or 6 (although the average need not be an integer) and more preferably 3 to 5.
- Polyethylene glycol is widely available from commercial suppliers in pharmaceutical grades and is sold in specified nominal molecular weights which generally signify that the average molecular weight is not more than 105% and not less than 95% of the nominated value.
- the viscosities and methods for molecular weight determination are disclosed in USP NF Official Compendium of Standards Volume 11180-1182 [2007 Edition].
- pharmacological agent is used herein to refer to a broad class of useful chemical and therapeutic agents.
- pharmacological agent in describing the agents contemplated herein is used in a broad sense to comprehend not only agents having a direct pharmacological effect on the host, but also those having an indirect or observable effect which is useful in the medical arts.
- pharmacological agent includes prodrugs of the agent which in vivo exerts the physiological effect.
- Steroids encompass compounds having the general cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene ring system of formula:
- Steroids vary by the functional groups attached to these rings and the oxidation tate of the rings.
- the steroid may be in the form of the active drug or may be a prodrug steroid which in vivo provides a more active form of the steroid.
- the steroids include drugs and prodrugs which provide eutrogenic, androgenic glucocorticoid, adrenocortoid, anabolic or birth control activity.
- steroids examples include, for example, dexamethasone, dexamethasone acetate, dexamethasone sodium phosphate, cortisone, cortisone acetate, hydrocortisone, hydrocortisone acetate, hydrocortisone cypionate, hydrocortisone sodium phosphate, hydrocortisone sodium succinate, prednisone, prednisolone, prednisolone acetate, prednisolone sodium phosphate, prednisolone tebutate, prednisolone pivalate, triamcinolone, triamcinolone acetonide, triamcinolone hexacetonide, triamcinolone diacetate, methylprednisolone, methylprednisolone acetate, methylprednisolone sodium succinate, flunsolide, beclomethasone dipropionate, betamethasone sodium phosphate, betamethasone, vetamethas
- prodrug is a pharmacological drug which is administered in an inactive or less active form and is metabilised into an active form.
- the prodrug itself may have little or none of the desired activity until it interacts with the systems of the body such as the skin or circulatory systems. Nonetheless hormones and steroids used in the transdermal delivery system of the invention include hormones and steroids which are prodrugs which on administration form a more active hormone or steroid in vivo during or after the process of transdermal administration.
- a prodrug or a composition of prodrug mixed with the parent composition has a permeation rate that is faster or slower than an identical composition having a pharmacologically equivalent amount of the parent drug.
- the composition has a duration of the therapeutic effect that is longer or shorter than a composition having a pharmacologically equivalent amount of the parent drug alone.
- the prodrug is more lipophilic than the parent drug and the prodrug has a greater permeation rate through the skin.
- the Prohormones and prosteroids are variations or derivatives of the parent hormones or steroids which have groups cleavable under metabolic conditions.
- Prodrugs become the parent drugs which are pharmaceutically active in vivo, when they undergo solvolysis under physiological conditions or undergo enzymatic degradation.
- Prodrugs commonly known in the art include acid esters prepared by reaction of the parent acids or alcohol with a suitable alcohol or acid respectively, or amides prepared by reaction of the parent acid or amine compound with an amine or acid respectively, or basic groups reacted to form an acylated base derivative. Examples of prodrugs are discussed in, Bundgard, Design of Prodrugs, pp. 7-9, 21-24, Elsevier, Amsterdam 1985; Silverman, The Organic Chemistry of Drug Design and Drug Action, pp. 352-401, Academic Press, San Diego, Calif., 1992 and Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Chemistry, Fifth Ed., Vol. 1, pp.
- the other method for controlling the blood plasma profile of subject is in the selection of the prodrug, such as based on its molecular weight or polarity.
- the molecular weight of the prodrug By increasing the molecular weight of the prodrug, the time to the onset of permeation of effective amounts of the prodrug will increase relatives to the parent drug.
- This effect is in the use of norethindrone and norethindrone acetate. The permeation rate of norethindrone rapidly peaks after application, whereas norethindrone acetate having a higher molecular weight reaches a maximum after the norethindrone permeation rate begins to decline.
- steroids having a free hydroxy group at a position on the steroid ring, such as the 17-position, the 3-position, or at the 11-position on the fused ring.
- steroidal hormones such as estrogens, progestins, and androgens.
- the corresponding steroid prodrug is defined as a corresponding structure to the steroid where the free hydroxy at the 3, 11 or 17 position has been reacted with an alcohol reactive moiety.
- each provides a source of steroid in the bloodstream to achieve the intended physiological effect which, in the case of the corresponding prosteroid, occurs through metabolic conversion of the derivative.
- a steroid ester is the corresponding structure to the steroid where the free hydroxy group on the ring has been esterified.
- Examples of a steroid and its corresponding ester include estradiol and estradiol benzoate, estradiol 17-beta cypionate, estradiol 17 propionate, estradiol hemisuccinate (eutocol), estradiol enanthate, estradiol undecylate, estradiol acetate, and estradiol proprionate, etc.
- Another example is testosterone and its corresponding ester of testosterone such as 17 beta-cypionate, testosterone enanthate, testosterone nicotinate, testosterone phenylacetate, testosterone proprionate, etc.
- non-esters that have groups on the 17 position such as testosterone 17-chloral hemiacetal, or ethers that have groups on the 3-position such as estradiol 3-methyl ether.
- percutaneous and “transdermal” are used herein in the broadest sense to refer to being able to pass through unbroken skin.
- skin penetration enhancer is used herein in its broadest sense to refer to an agent which improves the rate of percutaneous transport of active agents across the skin for use and delivery of active agents to organisms such as animals, whether it be for local application or systemic delivery.
- non-occlusive is used herein in its broadest sense to refer to not trapping or closing the skin to the atmosphere by means of a patch device, fixed reservoir, application chamber, tape, bandage, sticking plaster, or the like which remains on the skin at the site of application for a prolonged length of time. It is particularly preferred that the transdermal delivery system of the invention is non-occlusive.
- stratum corneum is used herein in its broadest sense to refer to the outer layer of the skin, which is comprised of (approximately 15) layers of terminally differentiated keratinocytes made primarily of the proteinaceous material keratin arranged in a ‘brick and mortar’ fashion with the mortar being comprised of a lipid matrix made primarily from cholesterol, ceramides and long chain fatty acids.
- the stratum corneum creates the rate limiting barrier for diffusion of the active agent across the skin.
- skin-depot is used herein in its broadest sense to refer to a reservoir or deposit of active agent and dermal penetration enhancer within the stratum corneum, whether it be intra-cellular (within keratinocytes) or inter-cellular.
- volatile:non-volatile liquid vehicle is used in the art to refer to a liquid pharmaceutical vehicle comprising a volatile liquid mixed with a non-volatile liquid vehicle, such as a dermal penetration enhancer.
- a system or vehicle comprising a volatile liquid mixed with a non-volatile dermal penetration enhancer when described herein is used in its broadest sense to include those systems known as volatile: non-volatile liquid vehicles.
- aliphatic includes straight chain, branched chain and cyclic aliphatic and may be saturated alkyl groups or unsaturated aliphatic containing from 1 to 3 unsaturated groups particularly 1 to 3 double bonds.
- the transdermal drug delivery system of the present invention enables a wide range of pharmacological agents selected from hormones and steroids to be delivered through the skin to achieve a desired systemic effect.
- the drug delivery system preferably comprises at least one active agent intimately mixed with a non-volatile dermal penetration enhancer and a volatile liquid. Where the drug delivery system is applied to the skin, at least one active agent selected from hormones and steroids and non-volatile liquid are thermodynamically driven into the skin as the volatile liquid evaporates. Once within the skin the non-volatile liquid may either disrupt the lipid matrix and/or act as a solubilizer to allow an enhanced penetration rate of the at least one active agent through the skin and into the subject being treated. In this way, the dermal penetration enhancer acts as a vehicle and many systemic active agents are able to be transdermally administered to an animal.
- the subject to be treated with the transdermal delivery system is generally a mammal, preferably a human being, male or female.
- the term “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of the subject compound that will elicit the biological or medical response of a tissue, system, animal or human that is being sought.
