Definitions

  • the present invention relates to parei ⁇ teral dosage forms of selective cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) inhibitory drugs and salts thereof. More particularly, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical dosage form of selective COIX-2 inhibitors wherein the composition can be administered intramuscularly.
  • COX-2 selective cyclooxygenase- 2
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are widely prescribed as effective analgesics, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory agents. Their mechanism for action is based on their ability to inliibit prostaglandin synthesis, which is controlled by the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Cyclooxygenase exists in two isomers- COX1 and COX-2. COX-1 is present in most tissue-synthesized prostaglandins and is important in regulating cell function. It is responsible for most of the gastro-protective prostaglandin synthesis which is important in regulating cell function. COX-2 is generally undetectable in most tissues but increases its expression by 10-20 fold during acute inflarr ⁇ mation. Inhibition of COX-2 by NS AIDs would give an anti-inflammatory effect, whereas inliibition of COX-1 would result in adverse effects such as gastrointestinal toxicity and nephrotoxicity.
  • Selective COX-2 inhibitory drugs represent a major advance in the art.
  • Such drugs are substituted pyrazolyl benzenesulfonamides, substituted Isoxazolyl benzenesulfonamides and substituted (methyl sulfonyl)phenylfuranones.
  • Celecoxib was first described in US Patent No. 5,466,823 assigned to Searle. Celecoxib is commercially available as lOOrxig capsules to be administered twice a day for the treatment of osteo-arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. No other dosage forms of celecoxib have been reported. ofecoxib was described in US Patent No. 5,474,995 assigned to Merck & Co. Rofecoxib is commercially available as 12.5 mg, 25 mg and 50 mg tablets to be administered once daily and as 12.5mg/5 ml or 25 mg/5 ml oral suspensions for the treatment of osteo-arthritis and the management of acute pain. Valdecoxib has been described in US Patent No. 5,633,272 assigned to Searle. It is marketed as 10 and 20mg tablets for treating symptoms associated with osteo-arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  • oral administration is the most convenient and widely used route, it is associated with a delayed onset of the desired pharmacological action. It is known that mpon oral administration, the COX-2 inhibitors take approximately 3.0 hours for peak plasma concentrations to be achieved and have an onset of action 0.5 to 0.75 hours after administration. Additionally, the intake of food further influences drug absorption. However, acute pain, as in the case of arthritis and cancer, demands immediate relief. In. such cases, a parenteral route is more efficient and prompt, as compared to the oral route.
  • Parenteral routes of administration offer numerous benefits over oral delivery, A part from providing quicker onset of action, parenteral administration results in more predictable blood serum concentrations of the drug and losses in the gastrointestinal tract due to metabolism, binding to food and other causes are eliminated. For similar reasons, parenteral administration permits dose reduction. It is also the preferred method of drug delivery in emergency situations and is useful in non-cooperative patients.
  • COX-2 inhibitors have an oral bioavailability ranging from 80-85% > , hence parenteral administration would bring about a reduction in the dose in comparison to oral dose.
  • Parecoxib when administered parenterally, is hydrolyzed to valdecoxib within the blood stream. It is commercially available as parecoxib sodium powder which may be reconstituted in a parenterally acceptable solvent liquid.
  • Pharmacia Corporation has filed a PCT Application, WO 02/080912, relating to parenterally deliverable formulations of water-soluble selective COX-2 inhibitory drugs and salts and prodrugs thereof.
  • the invention describes dosage forms that are prepared as lyophilized powders for reconstitution.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,589,557, assigned to Acusphere describes porous matrices of celecoxib with an enhanced rate of dissolution. The porous matrix may be reconstituted with an aqueous medium and administered parenterally.
  • COX-2 inhibitors have extremely low solubility in water, which is the main reason for preparing a reconstitutable powder composition. Due to limited chemical stability, it is preferable to reconstitute the composition within a short period of time before administration.
  • parenteral dosage forms for selective COX-2 inhibitors are challenging for the pharmaceutical formulator because of low chemical and physical stability.
  • An injectable solution composition prepared by reconstituting a powder composition in a parenterally acceptable solvent, preferably an aqueous solvent has limited chemical stability, in which case it is preferred to reconstitute the composition within a short period of time before administration.
  • lyophilized powders require increased handling and processing time. Furthermore, it requires costly and complex equipment.

  • intramuscular infra- arterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal, etc.
  • intramuscular is the most convenient and easily administrable routes. This route is considered less hazardous than the intravenous route.
