Definitions

  • the present invention relates to solid and liquid pharmaceutical compositions comprising a clostridial toxin active ingredient and one or more non-protein excipient.
  • a pharmaceutical composition is a formulation which contains at least one active ingredient (such as a Clostridial toxin) as well as, for example, one or more excipients, buffers, carriers, stabilizers, preservatives and/or bulking agents, and is suitable for administration to a patient to achieve a desired diagnostic result or therapeutic effect.
  • active ingredient such as a Clostridial toxin
  • excipients such as a Clostridial toxin
  • a pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as a lyophilized (i.e. freeze dried) or vacuum dried powder which can be reconstituted with a suitable fluid, such as saline or water, prior to administration to a patient.
  • the pharmaceutical composition can be formulated as an aqueous solution or suspension.
  • a pharmaceutical composition can contain a proteinaceous active ingredient.
  • a protein active ingredient can be very difficult to stabilize (i.e. maintained in a state where loss of biological activity is minimized), thereby resulting in a loss of protein and/or loss of protein activity during the formulation, reconstitution (if required) and storage of the pharmaceutical composition prior to use.
  • Stability problems can arise due to surface adsorption of a protein active ingredient, physical instability, such as, e.g., denaturation or aggregation, or chemical instability, such as, e.g., cross-linking, deamidation, isomerization, oxidation, formation of acidic or basic species, Maillard reaction, and fragmentation.
  • physical instability such as, e.g., denaturation or aggregation
  • chemical instability such as, e.g., cross-linking, deamidation, isomerization, oxidation, formation of acidic or basic species, Maillard reaction, and fragmentation.
  • albumin and gelatin have been used to stabilize a protein active ingredient present in a pharmaceutical composition.
  • protein excipients such as albumin or gelatin
  • albumin and gelatin are expensive and increasingly difficult to obtain.
  • blood products or animal derived products such as albumin and gelatin, when administered to a patient can subject the patient to a potential risk of receiving blood borne pathogens or infectious agents.
  • an animal-derived protein excipient in a pharmaceutical composition can result in inadvertent incorporation of infectious elements into the pharmaceutical composition.
  • human serum albumin may transmit prions into a pharmaceutical composition.
  • suitable non-protein excipients such as, e.g., stabilizers, cryo-protectants and lyo-protectants, which can be used to stabilize the protein active ingredient present in a pharmaceutical composition.
  • Clostridial toxins further constrain and hinder the selection of suitable non-protein excipients for a pharmaceutical composition comprising a Clostridial toxin active ingredient.
  • Clostridial toxins are large proteins having an average molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa, and are further complexed with non-toxin associated proteins that increase the size to approximately 300-900-kDa.
  • the size of a Clostridial toxin complex makes it much more fragile and labile than smaller, less complex proteins, thereby compounding the formulation and handling difficulties if Clostridial toxin stability is to be maintained.
  • non-protein excipients such as, e.g., stabilizers, cryo-protectants and lyo-protectants must be able to interact with the Clostridial toxin active ingredient in a manner which does not denature, fragment or otherwise inactivate the toxin or cause disassociation of the non-toxin associated proteins present in the toxin complex.
  • Clostridial toxin active ingredient Another problem associated with a Clostridial toxin active ingredient, is the exceptional safety, precision, and accuracy that is necessary for at all steps of the formulation process. Thus, a non-protein excipient should not itself be toxic or difficult to handle so as to not exacerbate the already extremely stringent requirements.
  • Clostridial toxin active ingredient is the enormous low amounts of Clostridial toxin that is used in a pharmaceutical composition.
  • the biological activities of the Clostridial toxins are dependant, at least in part, upon their three dimensional conformation.
  • a Clostridial toxin is detoxified by heat, various chemicals, surface stretching, and surface drying.
  • dilution of a Clostridial toxin complex obtained by the known culturing, fermentation and purification methods results in rapid inactivation of the toxin.
  • Clostridial toxin active ingredient that is used in a pharmaceutical composition, makes this active ingredient very susceptible to adsorption to, e.g., the surfaces of laboratory glassware, vessels, to the vial in which the pharmaceutical composition is reconstituted and to the inside surface of a syringe used to inject the pharmaceutical composition.
  • Such adsorption of a Clostridial toxin active ingredient to surfaces can lead to a loss of active ingredient and to denaturation of the remaining Clostridial toxin active ingredient, both of which reduce the total activity of the active ingredient present in the pharmaceutical composition.
  • non-protein excipients such as, e.g., stabilizers, cryo-protectants and lyo-protectants must be able to act as surface blockers to prevent the adsorption of a Clostridial toxin active ingredient to a surface.
  • the pH-sensitivity associates with complex formation is known to be soluble in dilute aqueous solutions at pH 3.5-6.8.
  • the non-toxic associated proteins dissociate from the 150-kDa neurotoxin, resulting in a loss of toxicity, particularly as the pH rises above pH 8.0.
