Definitions
- This invention relates to salts of peptides that bind with high affinity and selectivity to the mu (morphine) opiate receptor; pharmaceutical preparations containing an effective amount of the peptide salts; and methods for providing analgesia, relief from gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, and therapy for drug dependence containing an effective amount of the peptide salts.
- opiates Many peptides have been found that exhibit opiate-like activity by binding to opiate receptors. Three different types of opiate receptors have been found: delta ( ⁇ ), kappa ( ⁇ ) and mu ( ⁇ ). The major putative function for opiates is their role in alleviating pain. Other areas where opiates are well-suited for use in treatment are conditions relating to gastrointestinal disorders, schizophrenia, obesity, blood pressure, convulsions, and seizures. Although the ⁇ and ⁇ receptors may also mediate analgesia, activation of ⁇ receptors is the primary and most effective means of inducing analgesia, and is the primary mechanism by which morphine acts.
- compositions having peptides with high affinity and selectivity for this site are of considerable importance. It would be desirable to produce these peptide compositions in a simple, efficient, and economical manner.
- the subject invention provides advantageous new salts of mu-opiate receptor peptides. These salts have been found to have excellent properties in terms of their crystal structure, stability, solubility, lack of impurities and/or the ability to be produced, with these advantageous properties, in amounts sufficient for the production of therapeutic compositions.
- the subject invention provides hydrochloride salts of endomorphin peptides.
- the peptides that can be used according to the subject invention have the general formula Tyr-X 1 -X 2 -X 3 wherein X 1 is Pro, D-Lys or D-Orn; X 2 is Trp, Phe or N-alkyl-Phe wherein alkyl contains 1 to about 6 carbon atoms; and X 3 is Phe, Phe-NH 2 , D-Phe, D-Phe-NH 2 or p-Y-Phe wherein Y is NO 2 , F, Cl or Br.
- the subject invention provides the hydrochloride salt of a cyclic endomorphin-1 peptide (designated herein as CYT-1010).
- the subject invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising these advantageous salts.
- the subject invention further provides therapeutic methods that utilize the salts and compositions described herein.
- the subject invention further provides methods for preparing the salts of the subject invention.

Other areas where opiates are well-suited for use in treatment are conditions relating to gastrointestinal disorders, schizophrenia, obesity, blood pressure, convulsions, and seizures. Although the δ and κ receptors may also mediate analgesia, activation of μ receptors is the primary and most effective means of inducing analgesia, and is the primary mechanism by which morphine acts.
- Because morphine and other compounds with clinical usefulness act primarily at the μ receptor, pharmaceutical compositions having peptides with high affinity and selectivity for this site are of considerable importance. It would be desirable to produce these peptide compositions in a simple, efficient, and economical manner.
- The subject invention provides advantageous new salts of mu-opiate receptor peptides. These salts have been found to have excellent properties in terms of their crystal structure, stability, solubility, lack of impurities and/or the ability to be produced, with these advantageous properties, in amounts sufficient for the production of therapeutic compositions.

However, suitable unit dosages may be between about 0.01 to about 100 mg. For example, a unit dose may be from between about 0.2 mg to about 50 mg. Such a unit dose may be administered more than once a day, e.g. two or three times a day.
- Morphology. A Zeiss Universal microscope configured with a polarized visible light source was used to evaluate the optical properties of the samples. Specimens were typically mounted on a microscope slide. Magnification was typically 125×. Observations of particle/crystal size and shape were recorded. The presence of birefringence was also noted.
- Stoichiometry—1H-NMR. Samples were prepared by dissolving 3-7 mg in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-d6 with 0.05% (v/v) tetramethylsilane (TMS). Spectra were collected at ambient temperature on a
Varian Gemini 300 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer. - Stoichiometry—Ion Chromatography. Standards solutions were prepared generally in the 5 to 50 μg/mL range. The samples were dissolved and analyzed with a Dionex DX-600 ion chromatograph configured with a
AminiPac PA 10 column for asparatic acid analysis and AS4A-SC/AG4A-SC column for maleic, hydrochloric and lactic acids and a conductivity detector. - Solubility. The solubility of the selected primary screen salts was determined at ambient temperature in
aqueous buffer pH 7 by a visual technique. The solubility of the scaled-up salts was visually determined in aqueous pH 4.7 and 10 buffers both by the visual technique and HPLC analysis alongside with the stability samples using the same chromatographic condition (see section HPLC analysis). - Thermal Properties by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). DSC data were collected on a TA Instruments 2910 DSC.

TABLE 1 Acetic Aspartic (L) Citric Fumaric Gluconic (D) Hippuric Hydrochloric Lactic Malic Maleic Mucic Phosphoric Sulfuric Succinic Tartaric (L) - Salts were initially prepared on an approximately 50 mg scale. The free base was suspended in methanol. All acids, except aspartic and mucic were dissolved in water. Equal molar portions of the free base and acid solutions were mixed to form the monosalts. Molar portions of the free base and half-molar acid solutions were mixed to form the hemisalt. Aspartic and mucic acid were added as dry powders as they were water-insoluble. Free base suspensions after additions of hydrochloric, sulfuric, maleic, phosphoric, tartaric, and citric acids became clear and were then evaporated while stirring on a stirplate at ambient temperature. The remaining cloudy salt preparations were left stirring capped for approximately two days to allow the reactions to occur, then evaporated the same way while stirring on a stirplate at ambient temperature. Salts were vacuum dried at 40° C.
- Fifteen salts of the free base were prepared and evaluated for thermal properties and crystallinity. The different salt forms are shown in Table 2.

TABLE 2 Salt Forms Evaluated Acetate Hippurate Mucate Tartrate (L) Aspartate (L) Hydrochloride Phosphate Gluconate (D) Citrate Lactate Sulfate Maleate Fumarate Malate (L) Hemi-sulfate Succinate - XRD analysis indicated that the free base was crystalline as shown in
FIG. 1 . An overlay of DSC and TGA thermograms can be seen inFIG. 2 . The DSC thermogram exhibited multiple thermal events: a small endotherm with an onset temperature of 256.2° C. and an enthalpy value of ΔH=20 J/g immediately followed by a small exotherm. The second endothermic peak was a sharp peak with an onset temperature of 286.3° C. and an enthalpy value of 95.7 J/g. TGA thermogram exhibited the weight loss due to volatiles of 2.9 wt % (25° C.-150° C.). - Hot stage microscopy analysis indicated that the particles of the free base were irregularly shaped, platy and did not appear birefringent. The melting of the sample was completed by approximately 288° C. No other thermal events were evident.
- H-MHR and FTIR spectra of the free base are shown in
FIG. 3 andFIG. 4 , respectively. - DVS analysis of the free base indicated non-stoichiometric water uptake of up to 1.7 wt % by 90% RH (
FIG. 5 ). - The stability data of the free base did not exhibit significant changes in HPLC-TAN values upon exposure to heat, light, or oxygen (Tables 6-9).
- Fifteen monosalts and one hemisalt were prepared and analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction. The thermal behavior of the primary salts was studied using DSC and TGA analysis. The analytical results are summarized in Table 3. As can be seen from the table, some salts were crystalline, others were low-ordered or amorphous. The crystallinity of some salts was improved by slurrying them in water for approximately a week. The thermal behavior of some salts was complex with the multiple thermal events observed on heating. Endotherms due to dehydration and/or desolvation for some of the salts were also evident.

Acetate Mono Two samples generated: XRD of one sample matched free base, other sample was low- ordered. - Solubility. The solubility of selected salts from the primary screen was determined. Solubility measurements were made at ambient temperature in an aqueous pH 7.0 buffer. The results of the solubility measurements are shown in Table 4. Even at a concentration of 0.05 mg/ml, the solutions were still cloudy for all salts indicating the solubility of all salts was <0.05 mg/mL. Solutions of the lactate, malate and aspartate salts appeared less hazy/cloudy than others, suggesting their solubility may be slightly higher than the other forms.

The same preparative procedure was used for the scale-up as was for the primary salt evaluation. - The characteristics of the four most promising salt forms are described below.
- The material was a white crystalline solid. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the batch is shown in
FIG. 6 . The DSC thermogram exhibited a melting endotherm with an extrapolated onset temperature of approximately 270° C. It appears to melt with decomposition. The total volatiles by TGA in a temperature range 25-150° C. were 1.4 wt %. A DSC/TGA overlay plot is shown inFIG. 7 . - The hydrochloride salt isolated was a white crystalline solid. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the batch is shown in
FIG. 8 . The material exhibited a small (8 J/g) endotherm with an onset temperature of 230° C. and the main endotherm with an onset of 282.7° C. (the DSC/TGA overlay is shown inFIG. 9 ). The weight loss observed using TGA at 150° C. was 2.9 wt %. - The XRD pattern of the lactate salt is shown in
FIG. 10 , it was less crystalline than the aspartate or hydrochloride. It was a white solid. The DSC thermogram revealed a single melting endotherm with an onset temperature of 234° C. and an enthalpy value of 116 J/g. The sample lost approximately 2.9 wt % at 150° C. by TGA as shown inFIG. 11 . - The malate was a slightly off-white crystalline solid, the XRD pattern is shown in
FIG. 12 . The DSC thermogram had an endotherm with an onset temperature of 236.7° C. and a heat of fusion 93.9 J/g. The TGA thermogram indicated a weight loss of 150° C. of 2.3 wt % but the sample started to loose mass at approximately 150° C. The DSC/TGA thermogram overlay plot is shown inFIG. 13 . - After the initial evaluation, additional amounts of four salts (aspartate, hydrochloride, lactate, and maleate) were prepared for further evaluation. These salts were scaled up to approximately 400 mg to facilitate additional testing and determine if the characteristics of the solids were reproducible. The results of the scaled-up analyses are summarized below.
- Aspartate. The material produced in the scale-up batch was analyzed by XRD, DSC, TGA, H-NMR, and FTIR.
- XRD overlay of the scaled-up aspartate salt (black trace) with a small scale batch (blue) is shown in
FIG. 14 . The DSC/TGA data for the scaled-up aspartate is shown inFIG. 15 .FIG. 16 shows the DSC overlay plot of the small scale sample with the scaled-up sample. The scaled-up sample appears to be less crystalline than the small scale sample despite the fact that the additional ripening in water was done to improve crystallinity. The DSC thermogram shows a single melt with an earlier melting onset than the small scale sample, provably due to the lower crystallinity. The sample had 1.7 wt % volatiles. - The aspartic acid content determined by ion chromatography was approximately 13.5 wt %, somewhat lower than the theoretical value for monosalt (17.6 wt %). This may have contributed to the lower crystallinity of the sample.
- The proton FT-NRM spectrum of the aspartate was collected and is shown in
FIG. 17 . The aspirate aliphatic peaks were over lapped by the CYT-1010 aliphatic peaks, so that molar ratio could not be determined by NMR. - The FTIR spectrum of the scaled-up aspartate is shown in
FIG. 18 . - DVS analysis of the scaled-up aspartate salt was performed. The aspartate salt may form a hemihydrate then monohydrate at higher humidity. The moisture sorption isotherm and kinetic data plot are shown in
FIG. 19 . The shape of the isotherm plot makes it difficult to be certain whether hydrates form. - The aqueous solubility results at
pH 4,pH 7,pH 10 are shown in Table 10. - The scaled-up sample of the hydrochloride salt displayed the same XRD pattern as in the initial evaluation (see XRD plots overlay for the two samples in
FIG. 20 ). The thermal behavior of both batches was also similar. The DSC/TGA thermograms of the scaled-up sample is inFIG. 21 and a comparison of DSC thermograms of the primary and scaled-up samples is inFIG. 22 . The material exhibited a small (10.2 J/g) endotherm with an onset temperature of 231.3° C. and the main endotherm with an onset of 285.9° C. The sample had lost 2.6 wt % volatiles at 150° C. - Hot stage microscopy of the hydrochloride revealed no changes in particle morphology up to the melt, which was observed at approximately 280° C. The evolution of bubbles was evident at 108° C. and again at 230° C.
- The promoton NMR spectrum (
FIG. 23 ) suggests that the stoichiometry of the salt is approximately 1:1. The FTIR spectrum of the scaled-up hydrochloride salt is shown inFIG. 24 . - IC was used to evaluate the chloride content of the scaled-up salt. The IC indicated the chloride content was 5.2 wt % (theoretical 5.5 wt %).
- The DVS analysis suggested a reversible hydrate formation at 5% RH (
FIG. 25 ). Given the approximately 2.5 wt % water uptake, this would imply a monohydrate forms (theoretical 2.7 wt % water). - A sample of HCl was stored at 25° C. and 75% RH for one week and then reweighed, no weight gain was observed. The exposed sample was analyzed by TGA to check the thermal profile after the exposure of the sample to humidity. It did not show any additional weight loss due to moisture. A comparison of TGA thermograms before and after the humidity exposure is shown in
FIG. 26 . - A slurry of the hydrochloride salt in water was carried out by stirring an excess of the HCl salt in water on a stirplate for approximately one week. Slurry was filtered and the wet cake analyzed by XRD to check for any structural changes. XRD patterns of samples before and after the slurry were essentially the same (
FIG. 27 ), suggesting that the XRD pattern probably represents the monohydrate form of the material. - The stability data of the hydrochloride salt is described below.
- The aqueous solubility results at
pH 4,pH 7, andpH 10 are shown in Table 10. - The scaled-up sample of the lactate salt was crystalline and had the same XRD pattern as in the initial evaluation. Thermal profiles were also similar (see XRD plots overlay for the two samples in
FIG. 28 and DSC/TGA data for the scaled-up sample inFIG. 29 ). DSC thermogram of the scaled-up sample had a melting endotherm with an onset temperature of approximately 237.5° C. and an enthalpy value of 143 J/g. The total volatiles by TGA were 1.7 wt % at 150° C. A comparison of DSC thermograms of the primary and scaled-up samples is shown inFIG. 30 . - The stoichiometry of the monosalt was evaluated using ion chromatography (IC). The sample contained approximately 9.8 wt % lactic acid which is lower than the theoretical expected result (12.6 wt %). To determine why it was lower, a lactic acid solution used for the preparation of salts (Fisher, assay 88.3%) was analyzed by IC and assay value was determined to be only 76.8 wt % as opposed to the label claim of 88.3 wt %.
- MNR and FTIR spectra of the scaled-up lactate are in
FIG. 31 , andFIG. 32 , respectively. The methine peak at ˜4.0 ppm integrated to 1.23. This would indicate that the mole ratio is approximately 1 to 1 (a monosalt). - DVS analysis indicated non-stoichiometric water update of 1-3 wt % in 0-70% RH range and up to 6 wt % by 90% RH (
FIG. 33 ). Given the smooth shape of the curve it was not possible to deduce whether this uptake represents hydrate formation or not. - The aqueous solubility results at
pH 4,pH 7, andpH 10 are shown in Table 10. - The scaled-up sample of the maleate salt was crystalline. XRD patterns of the primary screen and scale-up malate salts were very similar as can be seen in
FIG. 34 . - The DSC thermogram exhibited the same thermal behavior as in the initial evaluation. The weight loss observed at 125° C. was ˜2 wt %. After additional drying, the volatile content was 1.5 wt %. The DSC/TGA overlay plot of the scaled-up maleate is shown in
FIG. 35 . A comparison of DSC thermograms of the primary and scaled-up samples is shown inFIG. 36 . The thermograms show good repeatability. - The stoichiometry of the monosalt was evaluated using ion chromatography (IC). The sample contained approximately 14.0 wt % maleic acid which is close to the theoretical value of 15.7 wt %.
- The H-NMR spectrum of the maleate is shown in
FIG. 37 . The FTIR spectrum of the scaled-up maleate salt is inFIG. 38 . - DVS analysis (
FIG. 39 ) indicated non-stoichiometric water uptake of approximately 3.5 wt % over the 0-95% RH range. Whether a hydrate formed or not could not really be deduced from this data. - The aqueous solubility results at
pH 4,pH 7, andpH 10 are shown in Table 10. - The scaled-up aspartate, hydrochloride, lactate, and maleate salts together with the free base were analyzed in duplicate by total area normalization (TAN) to determine their impurity profiles. The salts were stressed in solid state using heat, light, and a pure oxygen atmosphere to determine if the salt forms exhibited different chemical stability characteristics. The salts were also stressed in solution using heat.
- Samples were prepared at a free base concentration of 0.3 mg/mL. The diluent for all sample preparations was 90:10 acetronitrile:water with 0.1% TFA. All solutions were sonicated for at least five minutes prior to analysis. Analysis was done over four days. The impurity profile of the free base, as shown in the table below, was consistent over this time.

These compounds exhibited almost the same decrease in area percent at 40° C. This behavior suggests that the changes for these compounds were due to exposure to the diluent and not the heat. On the other hand, the maleate salt showed a 0.5 area % increase at 25° C. and an additional 0.5 area % increase at 40° C.

pH 4 buffer (potassium bisphthalate buffer 0.05 molar),pH 7 buffer (potassium phosphate mono basic-sodium hydroxide buffer 0.05 molar) andpH 10 buffer (potassium carbonate-potassium hydroxide buffer 0.05 molar). Two approaches were tried. A visual technique and HPLC analysis were used to determine the solubilities. - By visual technique, solubilities of all four salts and the free base in
pH - The results of the solubility determinations by HPLC are shown in Table 10. HPLC data were collected on solutions stored in sealed vials for approximately one week at 25° C. at
pH 4,pH 7, andpH 10. Portions of these solutions were filtered with a Teflon 0.45 micro filter prior to HPLC analysis. The results were calibrated with a six point calibration curve ranging from 0.12 to 0.003 mg/ml. The same HPLC conditions were used as listed previously except the injection volume was increased to 10 μL. -

- Time Zero. Some observations were made concerning the HPLC impurity profile of the free base and salt samples. First, impurities at 0.89, 0.92, 1.02, and 1.03 RRT (relative retention time) are detected in the time zero sample preparations of the free base and all four salts. The largest of these four impurities is the 1.02 RRT impurity which is between 0.4 and 0.5 area % in all five compounds. The maleate salt also has a very large impurity peak at time zero (2.7 area %) at 1.14 RRT. Thus the maleate salt has a relatively low area % purity of 96 area %. Time zero impurity profile data is shown in Table 11.
