The alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate esters of this invention are those of formula I and are further described in U.S. patent no. 4,766,153 (the disclosure of which is herein incoφorated by reference). The alkyl polyoxyalkyl carboxylate esters preferably have an hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) number ranging from 12 to 20; more preferably 14 to 18, inclusive.
The most preferred alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate esters are the mixture of esters isopropyl C12-15pareth-9-carboxylate (also referred to as isodecyl-dipropoxy-hexa- ethoxymethyl carboxylic acid isopropyl ester as prepared in Ex. 1 of U.S. Pat. No.
4,766,153) and the mixture isopropyl polypropylene glycol-2-isodeceth-7-carboxylates (as prepared in Example 7(b) of U.S. Pat. No. 4,766,153). These esters have the following typical physical properties:
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention can contain any amount of said alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate ester(s), but preferably present in an amount from 5% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of said composition.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can contain any amount of the pharmaceutically active agent(s). Preferably the amount of the pharmaceutically active agent(s) range(s) from 0.01% to 50% by weight of the total composition. Preferably, the compositions additionally comprise a pharmaceutically acceptable hydrophilic solvent, such as water, an alcohol or mixtures thereof. The most preferred solvents are water, ethanol and mixtures of water and ethanol. The compositions can also comprise excipients and other optional ingredients which are conventionally used in pharmaceutical compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions preferably are in a dosage form suitable for oral ingestion, topical application, and transdermal (passive and iontophoretic) delivery.
According to a further feature of this invention, there is provided a process for solubilizing pharmaceutically active agent(s) to form pharmaceutical compositons comprising admixing at least one pharmaceutically active agent with an effective amount (preferably 5-20% by weight of total composition) of said alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate ester of formula I defined earlier in the specification, or a mixture thereof.
The present invention also involves a process for increasing the bioavaUability of pharmaceutically active agent(s) in pharmaceutical composition(s) comprising admixing at least one pharmaceutically active agent with an effective amount (preferably 5-20% by weight of total composition) of an alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate ester of formula I or mixture thereof.
The following examples are presented to further demonstrate this invention. The examples are intended in an illustrative and not in a limitative sense.
EXAMPLE 1 :
The effect of the alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate ester of the present invention on the solubility of Cyclosporin A and terbinafine were determined at various concentrations in water, ethanol and water/ethanol mixtures.
The equilibrium solubility of Cyclosporin A was determined by continual addition of the drug in a small amount to the solvent until the drug was completely dissolved and reached an equilibrium (i.e. more than 24 hours) at 22°C. The actual solubility was then determined by HPLC. The equilibrium solubility of terbinafine was determined by putting an excess of drug in a vial with the appropriate solvent or cosolvent system. The vials were agitated at 22°C for approximately 24 hours and the supernatants were filtered through 0.45 μm membrane filters. The quantity of dissolved drug in the clear filtrate was determined by HPLC after dilution with the mobile phase.
The concentrations of Cyclosporin A and terbinafine were determined by HPLC. The method for Cyclosporin A utilized a BROWNLEE SPHERI-5R RP-18 reversed phase column with a mobile phase consisting of tetrahydrofuran water: in a ratio of 40/60 (v/v). The flow rate rate was 1.0 ml/min and detection was made by UV at 220 nm. For terbinafine, the HPLC method uses a E. Merck LICHROSORBR RP-18 reversed phase column with a mobile phase containing acetonitrile/tetrahydrofuran/0.016 M tetramethyl- ammonium hydroxide pentahydrate buffer (adjusted to pH 7.8 with phosphoric acid) in a ratio of 70/8.5/21.5(v/v/v). The flow rate was 2.0 ml/min and detection was by UV at 220 nm.
The results for Cyclosporin A are presented in Table I

The above results demonstrate that isopropyl C12.15-pareth-9-carboxylate significantly
improves the solubility of Cyclosporin A and terbinafine in water and water/ethanol solvent systems. For comparison, the solubility of terbinafine in water with 10% (w/w) polysorbate(20)polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monolaurate was found to be 12.2 mg/ml.
EXAMPLE II;
The solubility of Cyclosporin A in ethanol was determined visually by dissolving Cyclosporin A to saturation in ethanol containing 10% (w/w) isopropyl polyρropylene-2- isodeceth-7-carboxylate. The solubility of Cyclosporin A in this solvent system was found to be greater than 1 gram per gram of solvent.
EXAMPLE III;
The effect of the alkyl polyoxyalkylene carboxylate esters of the present invention on the bioavaUability of pharmaceutically active agent, such as terbinafine, was determined through an in vitro skin permeation study.
Hairless guinea pig skin obtained from 30 to 90 day old hairless guinea pig (Charles River) was used. After the animal was sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, abdominal and dorsal skin sections were excised with surgical scissors. The skin was then sectioned (Padgett Dermatome) to about 130 μm thick to remove the underlying subcutaneous fat and part of the dermis. Appropriate size specimens were cut into squares to fit the diffusion cells.
Teflon flow-through Bronaugh diffusion cells (Crown Glass) held in a temperature controlled aluminum block were used in the skin permeation experiments. Prepared skin was mounted, stratum corneum side up, in the cells. A 400 μl sample of the donor solution was applied on the surface of the skin and capped with a plastic stopper. A 10% by weight isopropyl C12.15-pareth-9-carboxylate in water solution containing 8 mg/ml terbinafine was used. Comparative experiments were conducted using 10% by weight polysorbate (20) polyoxyethylene(20) sorbitan monolaurate (TWEEN-20) in water
containing 8 mg/ml terbinafine. For the cells used in this study, the diffusional cross-section area was 0.35 cm2 and the volume of the receptor was 0.13 ml. The temperature in the diffusion cells was maintained at 35 to 37°C by pumping water from a water bath through the aluminum block. The receptor solution was 0.01 M sodium chloride in water (pH about 7). A multichannel cassette pump delivered the receptor fluid to each cell at a rate of either 0.5 to 1 ml hr. The effluent was collected in HPLC vials in a fraction collector for about 24 to 30 hours. The amount of drug permeated was determined by injecting the collected effluent into a HPLC.
The results are presented in Figure I.
Figure I shows that compositions of the present invention containing isopropyl C12.15-pareth-9-carboxylate and terbinafine significantly improved the skin permeability and bioavaUability of the terbinafine.
