Definitions
- the present invention relates, in general, to the pharmaceutical field, and more precisely it relates to a pharmaceutical composition for the oral administration of Androgen Receptor Antagonists and to the process for the preparation thereof.
- the present invention relates to the oral liquid composition comprising Enzalutamide.
- the Androgen Receptor also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4), is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding either of the androgenic hormones, testosterone, or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus.
- the androgen receptor is most closely related to the progesterone receptor, and progestins in higher dosages can block the androgen receptor.
- the main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression; however, the androgen receptor has other functions as well. Androgen regulated genes are critical for the development and maintenance of the male sexual phenotype.
- AR ligands can either be classified based on their structure (steroidal or non-steroidal) or based on their ability to activate or inhibit transcription (agonists or antagonists).
- Prostate cancer is the most common incidence of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in Western men. When the cancer is confined locally, the disease can be cured by surgery or radiation. However, 30% of such cancer relapses with distant metastatic disease and others have advanced disease at diagnoses. Advanced disease is treated by castration and/or administration of antiandrogens, the so-called androgen deprivation therapy. Castration lowers the circulating levels of androgens and reduces the activity of androgen receptor (AR). Administration of antiandrogens blocks AR function by competing away androgen binding, therefore, reducing the AR activity. Although initially effective, these treatments quickly fail and the cancer becomes hormone refractory.
- Overexpression of AR has been identified and validated as a cause of hormone refractory prostate cancer. See Chen, C. D., Welsbie, D. S., Tran, C., Baek, S. H., Chen, R., Vessella, R., Rosenfeld. M. G., and Sawyers, C. L., Molecular determinants of resistance to an antiandrogen therapy, Nat. Med., 10: 33-39, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Overexpression of AR is sufficient to cause progression from hormone sensitive to hormone refractory prostate cancer, suggesting that better AR inhibitors than the current drugs can slow the progression of prostate cancer.
- AR and its ligand binding are necessary for growth of hormone refractory prostate cancer, indicating that AR is still a target for this disease. It was also demonstrated that overexpression of AR converts anti-androgens from antagonists to agonists in hormone refractory prostate cancer (an AR antagonist inhibits AR activity and an AR agonist stimulates AR activity). Data from this work explains why castration and anti-androgens fail to prevent prostate cancer progression and reveals unrecognized properties of hormone refractory prostate cancer.
- Antigonadotropins like estrogens and progestogens were both first introduced in the 1930s. AR antagonists were first discovered in the early 1960s. The steroidal antiandrogencyproterone acetate was discovered in 1961 and introduced in 1973 and is often described as the first antiandrogen to have been marketed. However, spironolactone was introduced in 1959, and although its antiandrogen effects were not recognized or taken advantage of until later and were originally an unintended off-target action of the drug, it may be more appropriate to regard it as the first antiandrogen to have been introduced.
- chlormadinone acetate and megestrol acetate are steroidal antiandrogens that are weaker than cyproterone acetate but were also introduced earlier, in the 1960s.
- Other early steroidal antiandrogens that were developed around this time but were never marketed include benorterone (SKF-7690; 17 ⁇ -methyl-B-nortestosterone).
- BOMT Ro 7-2340
- cyproterone SH-80881
- trimethyltrienolone R-2956
- the nonsteroidalantiandrogenflutamide was first reported in 1967. It was introduced in 1983 and was the first nonsteroidalantiandrogen to be marketed.
- the second-generation nonsteroidalantiandrogen enzalutamide was introduced in 2012. It differs from the earlier nonsteroidalantiandrogens namely in that it is much more efficacious in comparison.
- the androgen synthesis inhibitors aminoglutethimide and ketoconazole were first marketed in 1960 and 1977, respectively, and the newer drug abiraterone acetate was introduced in 2011. GnRH analogues were first introduced in the 1980s.
- the 5 ⁇ -reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride were introduced in 1992 and 2002, respectively.
- a nonsteroidalantiandrogen is an antiandrogen with a nonsteroidal chemical structure. They are typically selective and full or silent antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR) and act by blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). SAAs are used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions in men and women. They are the converse of steroidal antiandrogens (SAAs), which are antiandrogens that are steroids and are structurally related to testosterone.
- SAAs steroidal antiandrogens
- Bicalutamide (brand name: Casodex®) is the most commonly used anti-androgen. While it has an inhibitory effect on AR in hormone sensitive prostate cancer, it fails to suppress AR when cancer becomes hormone refractory.
- Two weaknesses of current antiandrogens are blamed for the failure to prevent prostate cancer progression from the hormone sensitive stage to the hormone refractory disease and to effectively treat hormone refractory prostate cancer.
- Nonsteroidal anti-androgens such as bicalutamide
- steroidal compounds for prostate cancer because they are more selective and have fewer side effects.
- This class of compounds has been described in many patents such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,097,578.
- non-steroidal anti-androgens include Flutamide (Eulexin®), Nilutamide (Anandron® and Nilandron®), Topilutamide (Eucapil®). Enzalutamide (Xtandi®); Cimetidine (Tagamet®). Under development non-steroidal anti-androgens include Apalutamide (ARN-509. JNJ-56021927), Darolutamide (ODM-201. BAY-1841788), Proxalutamide (GT-0918). These non-steroidal anti-androgens have been discontinued from the development: Cioteronel (CPC-10997). Inocoterone acetate (RU-38882. RU-882). RU-58841 (PSK-3841, HMR-3841).
- Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor.
- the chemical name is 4-(3-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-sulfanylideneimidazolidin-1-yl ⁇ -2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide.
- the structural formula is:
- Enzalutamide is used as an agent for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,709,517.
- Enzalutamide is provided commercially as a soft capsule (brand name “XTANDI®”) filled with a liquid comprising 40 mg of enzalutamide per one capsule and pharmaceutical excipients. The daily dosage is 160 mg, and a patient therefore needs to take four capsules daily.
- a suitable single tablet of reasonable size comprising the prescribed amount of enzalutamide and having suitable and advantageous solubility and/or dissolution stability and absorption would be advantageous as a suitable alternative to soft capsules.
- the patent literature reports a sparingly soluble compound held on a gel-forming water-soluble polymer such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose, as a solid dispersion, wherein the composition contains a salt substance to improve a disintegration time and dissolution profile and the like. See, e.g., U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2002/0031547.
- Use of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate in a pharmaceutical composition comprising a sparingly soluble compound, prepared by a spray drying method also has been reported to improve aqueous solubility and/or bioavailability. See. e.g., U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2002/0009494.
- Solubilization of a specific drug depends on its chemical structure and physical properties; therefore, whether any particular polymer will solubilize a specific drug is not necessarily predictable. It is often difficult and time-consuming to select polymers which achieve improved solubilization, because the drug-polymer interaction is poorly understood. For example, addition of polymers may actually speed dissolution of a drug, rather than provide enhanced concentration.

- The Androgen Receptor (AR), also known as NR3C4 (nuclear receptor subfamily 3, group C, member 4), is a type of nuclear receptor that is activated by binding either of the androgenic hormones, testosterone, or dihydrotestosterone in the cytoplasm and then translocating into the nucleus. The androgen receptor is most closely related to the progesterone receptor, and progestins in higher dosages can block the androgen receptor.
- The main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression; however, the androgen receptor has other functions as well. Androgen regulated genes are critical for the development and maintenance of the male sexual phenotype.
- The Androgen Receptor is important for therapeutic target in prostate cancer, thus many different inhibitors have been developed, primarily targeting the ligand binding domain of the protein, while inhibitors that target the N-terminal domain of the protein are still under development. AR ligands can either be classified based on their structure (steroidal or non-steroidal) or based on their ability to activate or inhibit transcription (agonists or antagonists).
- Prostate cancer is the most common incidence of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in Western men. When the cancer is confined locally, the disease can be cured by surgery or radiation. However, 30% of such cancer relapses with distant metastatic disease and others have advanced disease at diagnoses. Advanced disease is treated by castration and/or administration of antiandrogens, the so-called androgen deprivation therapy. Castration lowers the circulating levels of androgens and reduces the activity of androgen receptor (AR). Administration of antiandrogens blocks AR function by competing away androgen binding, therefore, reducing the AR activity. Although initially effective, these treatments quickly fail and the cancer becomes hormone refractory.
- Overexpression of AR has been identified and validated as a cause of hormone refractory prostate cancer. See Chen, C. D., Welsbie, D. S., Tran, C., Baek, S. H., Chen, R., Vessella, R., Rosenfeld. M. G., and Sawyers, C. L., Molecular determinants of resistance to an antiandrogen therapy, Nat. Med., 10: 33-39, 2004, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Overexpression of AR is sufficient to cause progression from hormone sensitive to hormone refractory prostate cancer, suggesting that better AR inhibitors than the current drugs can slow the progression of prostate cancer. It was demonstrated that AR and its ligand binding are necessary for growth of hormone refractory prostate cancer, indicating that AR is still a target for this disease. It was also demonstrated that overexpression of AR converts anti-androgens from antagonists to agonists in hormone refractory prostate cancer (an AR antagonist inhibits AR activity and an AR agonist stimulates AR activity). Data from this work explains why castration and anti-androgens fail to prevent prostate cancer progression and reveals unrecognized properties of hormone refractory prostate cancer.
- Antigonadotropins like estrogens and progestogens were both first introduced in the 1930s. AR antagonists were first discovered in the early 1960s. The steroidal antiandrogencyproterone acetate was discovered in 1961 and introduced in 1973 and is often described as the first antiandrogen to have been marketed. However, spironolactone was introduced in 1959, and although its antiandrogen effects were not recognized or taken advantage of until later and were originally an unintended off-target action of the drug, it may be more appropriate to regard it as the first antiandrogen to have been introduced. In addition to spironolactone, chlormadinone acetate and megestrol acetate are steroidal antiandrogens that are weaker than cyproterone acetate but were also introduced earlier, in the 1960s. Other early steroidal antiandrogens that were developed around this time but were never marketed include benorterone (SKF-7690; 17α-methyl-B-nortestosterone). BOMT (Ro 7-2340), cyproterone (SH-80881), and trimethyltrienolone (R-2956).
- The nonsteroidalantiandrogenflutamide was first reported in 1967. It was introduced in 1983 and was the first nonsteroidalantiandrogen to be marketed. Another early nonsteroidalantiandrogen, DIMP (Ro 7-8117), which is structurally related to thalidomide and is a relatively weak antiandrogen, was first described in 1973 and was never marketed. Flutamide was followed by nilutamide in 1989 and bicalutamide in 1995. In addition to these three drugs, which have been regarded as first-generation nonsteroidalantiandrogens, the second-generation nonsteroidalantiandrogen enzalutamide was introduced in 2012. It differs from the earlier nonsteroidalantiandrogens namely in that it is much more efficacious in comparison.
- The androgen synthesis inhibitors aminoglutethimide and ketoconazole were first marketed in 1960 and 1977, respectively, and the newer drug abiraterone acetate was introduced in 2011. GnRH analogues were first introduced in the 1980s. The 5α-reductase inhibitors finasteride and dutasteride were introduced in 1992 and 2002, respectively.
- A nonsteroidalantiandrogen (NSAA) is an antiandrogen with a nonsteroidal chemical structure. They are typically selective and full or silent antagonists of the androgen receptor (AR) and act by blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). SAAs are used in the treatment of androgen-dependent conditions in men and women. They are the converse of steroidal antiandrogens (SAAs), which are antiandrogens that are steroids and are structurally related to testosterone.
- Bicalutamide (brand name: Casodex®) is the most commonly used anti-androgen. While it has an inhibitory effect on AR in hormone sensitive prostate cancer, it fails to suppress AR when cancer becomes hormone refractory. Two weaknesses of current antiandrogens are blamed for the failure to prevent prostate cancer progression from the hormone sensitive stage to the hormone refractory disease and to effectively treat hormone refractory prostate cancer. One is their weak antagonistic activities and the other is their strong agonistic activities when AR is overexpressed in hormone refractory prostate cancer. Therefore, better AR inhibitors with more potent antagonistic activities and minimal agonistic activities are needed to delay disease progression and to treat the fatal hormone refractory prostate cancer.
- Nonsteroidal anti-androgens, such as bicalutamide, have been preferred over steroidal compounds for prostate cancer because they are more selective and have fewer side effects. This class of compounds has been described in many patents such as U.S. Pat. No. 4,097,578. U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,411,981, 5,705,654, PCT International Applications WO 1997/00071 and WO 2000/17163, and U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2004/0009969, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- Other marketed non-steroidal anti-androgens include Flutamide (Eulexin®), Nilutamide (Anandron® and Nilandron®), Topilutamide (Eucapil®). Enzalutamide (Xtandi®); Cimetidine (Tagamet®). Under development non-steroidal anti-androgens include Apalutamide (ARN-509. JNJ-56021927), Darolutamide (ODM-201. BAY-1841788), Proxalutamide (GT-0918). These non-steroidal anti-androgens have been discontinued from the development: Cioteronel (CPC-10997). Inocoterone acetate (RU-38882. RU-882). RU-58841 (PSK-3841, HMR-3841).
- Enzalutamide is an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor. The chemical name is 4-(3-[4-cyano-3-(trifluoromethyl) phenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-4-oxo-2-sulfanylideneimidazolidin-1-yl}-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide. The structural formula is:
- Enzalutamide is used as an agent for treating castration-resistant prostate cancer. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 7,709,517. Enzalutamide is provided commercially as a soft capsule (brand name “XTANDI®”) filled with a liquid comprising 40 mg of enzalutamide per one capsule and pharmaceutical excipients. The daily dosage is 160 mg, and a patient therefore needs to take four capsules daily. Among other things, a suitable single tablet of reasonable size comprising the prescribed amount of enzalutamide and having suitable and advantageous solubility and/or dissolution stability and absorption would be advantageous as a suitable alternative to soft capsules.
- The patent literature reports a sparingly soluble compound held on a gel-forming water-soluble polymer such as hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or hydroxypropylcellulose, as a solid dispersion, wherein the composition contains a salt substance to improve a disintegration time and dissolution profile and the like. See, e.g., U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2002/0031547. Use of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate in a pharmaceutical composition comprising a sparingly soluble compound, prepared by a spray drying method, also has been reported to improve aqueous solubility and/or bioavailability. See. e.g., U.S. Published Patent Application No. 2002/0009494. Combining drugs with solubilizing polymers does not always improve bioavailability for a low-solubility drugs, however. Solubilization of a specific drug depends on its chemical structure and physical properties; therefore, whether any particular polymer will solubilize a specific drug is not necessarily predictable. It is often difficult and time-consuming to select polymers which achieve improved solubilization, because the drug-polymer interaction is poorly understood. For example, addition of polymers may actually speed dissolution of a drug, rather than provide enhanced concentration.

- PCT International Application WO 2016/020305 discloses process for preparing granules comprising an amorphous poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient. In this application Enzalutamide is exemplified as an amorphous poorly water soluble active pharmaceutical ingredient.
- From above described prior art, it is apparent that currently available preparations of Enzalutamide are solid oral preparations e.g. tablets, capsules etc. These preparations have their own disadvantages and limitations, for example they are not suitable for all types of patient populations. Therefore there is an existing need for oral liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising Enzalutamide and more largely for Androgen Receptor Inhibitors having improved stability and palatability. Further, the oral liquid preparations are more patient compliant as compared to oral solid dosage forms. Oral solid dosage forms may not be convenient for all types of patient populations (e.g. paediatric patients) to take because of swallowing problems. Therefore it is preferable to administer active ingredient in pharmaceutical liquid dosage form.
- It has already been proposed that solid oral preparations as well as other route of administrations are not suitable for all types of patient populations. Therefore the principal object of the present invention is to provide oral liquid pharmaceutical preparation of Androgen Receptor Inhibitors.
- Another object of present invention is to provide oral liquid composition having dose flexibility for patients who need special doses of the drug and have difficulties in swallowing oral dosage forms.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide oral liquid pharmaceutical preparation of Androgen Receptor Inhibitors with sweetening agent and flavouring agent to mask the bitter taste of Androgen Receptor Inhibitors and to provide pleasant taste and therefore high patient compliance.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide process for the preparation of the oral liquid pharmaceutical preparation of Androgen Receptor Inhibitors of the present invention.
- A further object of the present invention is to provide use of the composition of the invention in the manufacture of a medicament. A further object of the present invention is to provide composition of the invention for use as a medicament.
- A yet another object of the present invention is to provide liquid composition of Enzalutamide suitable for oral administration and process for the preparation thereof.
- A yet another object of the present invention is to provide composition for use in the manufacture of a medicament for treating diseases/disorders associated with androgen receptor.
- Accordingly, the present invention provides a liquid pharmaceutical composition comprising androgen receptor inhibitor and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from the group comprising of fillers/vehicles, solvents/co-solvents, preservatives/antioxidants, surfactants, buffering agents, chelating agents, sweetening agents, flavouring agents, sweetness/flavour enhancing agents, or combinations thereof with improved stability and palatability. Further, the liquid compositions according to the present invention shows improved dissolution profile.

- Androgen receptor inhibitors are known to be administered through oral route of administration. Oral dosage forms include solid preparations (e.g. tablets, capsules, and powders etc.). Oral liquid preparations are more patient compliant as compared to oral solid dosage forms. Oral solid dosage forms may not be convenient for all types of patient populations (e.g. paediatric patients) to take because of swallowing problems. Therefore it is preferable to administer active ingredient in pharmaceutical liquid dosage form. Further, pharmaceutical agents (especially anticancer agents) are known to have strong bitterness which results into a bitter taste and a feeling of numbness in the mouth. Therefore oral solid dosage forms are not preferred for some types of patient population especially paediatric patient population.
