Definitions
- compressed lozenges may not be appealing to certain users for performance or aesthetic reasons.
- compressed tablets tend to have a relatively grainy texture.
- commercial tablets of which the present inventors are aware are designed to have a relatively long dissolution period, such that craving relief is not as rapid as might be desired.
- Nicotine confectionary forms are disclosed in US Patents 6,082,368 (Brown) and 5,048,544 (Mascarelli et al.).
- Brown discloses a nicotine candy in a cigarette shaped package.
- the candy may use beta-pyridyl-alpha-N-methyl pyrrolidine or powdered tobacco leaves dissolved or dispersed in any standard hard sugar candy.
- sugars for making the hard candy include corn sugar, table sugar, and the sugar-free substitute, Lycasin.
- Mascarelli et al. discloses a cigarette substitute having an edible portion with nicotine, e.g., in the form of a conventional lollypop preferably with a hard or semi-hard candy.
- a novel modified release, hard- boiled solid oral dosage form for an active ingredient e.g., nicotine
- the solid oral dosage form useful for transmucosal oral administration of an active comprises: a) a glassy matrix comprising at least one substantially non-hygroscopic sugar alcohol capable of forming a glassy structure; b) a water soluble gelling gum in an amount sufficient to provide a desired oral dissolution rate of said glassy matrix; and c) an active ingredient.
- the active ingredient is a source of nicotine.
- the present invention further includes novel processes for preparing the present oral dosage forms and novel methods of nicotine replacement therapy using the present oral dosage forms when the active is nicotine.
- DRAWINGS Figure 1 shows the dissolution profile (% nicotine release vs time) comparing nicotine formulations without any gums to nicotine formulations according to the present invention.
- the present invention may comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of the components set forth below, unless otherwise stated.
- copending application PCT/US02/08914 (C75119) discloses a hard boiled matrix for oral administration of nicotine suitable for use in a nicotine replacement therapy.
- That composition is preferably a mixture of substantially non-hygroscopic sugars, e.g., ISOMALT and nicotine in an amount sufficient to reduce nicotine cravings. This was designed to release nicotine more rapidly than prior art lozenges while providing a more pleasant, palatable dosage form expected to enhance compliance. Gums were avoided in these prior dosage forms since they tend to burn and tend to retain water during the hard-boil process steps.
- the present oral dosage form can be used to deliver any active or therapeutic agent where absorption across the oral mucosa is desired. While the present invention will hereinafter be discussed with reference to administration of nicotine, it should be understood that other actives may be adjunctively or alternatively employed.
- Non-limiting examples include drugs, cough/cold/throat agents, vitamins, zinc, menthol, eucalyptus, hexyl resorcinol, caffeine, tooth whitening agents, anti-plaque agents, breath freshening agents, demulcents and the like.
- the composition is orally dissolvable and may be in any form which is typically sucked, licked, and/or chewed and eaten, such as lozenges, sticks, canes, pops, etc.
- Lozenges are a preferred form. Lozenges of the present invention are oral dosage forms intended to be held in the mouth, and are typically sucked. For example, they may be held in the buccal cavity or sublingually.
- the lozenges may be in various shapes, including flat, circular, octagonal and biconvex.
- the matrix (aka base) is a carrier for the nicotine active and optional adjuvants, and typically comprises from about 50% to about 100% of the composition.
- the product matrix is in a glassy, i.e., amorphous, physical state.
- the glassy matrix structure stabilizes nicotine actives such as nicotine and its derivatives, and potentially other components that tend to be unstable to moisture, e.g., by reducing penetration of water into the oral dosage form.
- the glassy matrix structure also tends to be more esthetically appealing to the user, e.g., providing a desirably smooth, organoleptic feel, which may increase user compliance.
- the glassy matrix structure tends to dissolve more rapidly than commercially available compressed nicotine tablets of which the present inventors are aware, thereby providing potentially faster craving relief than such tablets.
- the present dosage forms dissolve at a controlled rate so as to enhance the amount of nicotine absorbed orally rather than in the Gl tract.
- Glassy structure can be readily determined by those skilled in the art using conventional techniques such as X-ray diffraction. See, e.g., Settle, Frank A. et. al., Handbook of Instrumental Techniques for Analytical Chemistry, Prentice Hall PTR (1997).
- the formation of a glassy state is also typically characterized by a transparent appearance.
- the physical state is influenced by the properties of the components (especially sugar alcohols and other sugar components), and the process of making the product, and those skilled in the art will be able to select appropriate components and processes.
- the amount of water soluble gelling gum can be any convenient amount which produces the desired dissolution rate of the lozenge in the mouth while still maintaining the desired glassy matrix produced by the hard- boiled process. Preferably this includes about 0.5 to about 5% by weight of one or more water soluble gelling gums in the present oral dosage forms. More preferably, the present dosage forms include 1 to 4%.
- the amount of water soluble gelling gums included can be viewed from a functional perspective in that glassy matrix dosage forms in accordance with the present invention contain sufficient gums to provide a dissolution rate which, in turn, results in at least 50% of the nicotine active being absorbed via the oral mucosa. More preferably, at least 70% and most preferably at least 80% of the nicotine active is absorbed across the oral mucosa as opposed to absorption in the Gl tract from swallowing.
- Any pharmaceutically acceptable water soluble gelling gums can be used in accordance with the present invention, as long as they can be incorporated into the hard-boil process described herein and provide the desired dissolution rate for the final product.
- Xanthan gum, guar gum, gum arabic, alginates and carrageenan are believed to be illustrative and particularly useful, with xanthan gum being preferred.
- the non-hygroscopic property of the sugar alcohol is also believed to contribute to the stability of nicotine actives such as nicotine and its derivatives, and potentially other components that may be moisture-sensitive, as well as reducing the tendency of the oral dosage form to tackify upon exposure to humidity.
- the term "substantially non-hygroscopic” means that the sugar alcohol has a low tendency to absorb water under conditions of 25 g C/80% relative humidity (rh) (e.g., a maximum of 50%, preferably a maximum of about 30%, more preferably a maximum of about 20%, even more preferably a maximum of about 10% (e.g., up to about 8%), especially a maximum of about 5% (also up to about 2% or about 1 %), weight gain of water upon exposure to conditions of 25°C/80% rh for a period of 2 weeks).
- rh relative humidity
- the ratio is from about 43% to about 57% of 1 ,1 -GPM and from about 57% to about 43% of 1,6-GPS (including about 1 :1); for example, the sugar alcohol mixture contained in the product ISOMALT.
- ISOMALT is particularly preferred in the present invention.
- Such sugar alcohol mixtures may comprise other sugar alcohols and oligosaccharides, e.g., 1 ,1 -GPS (1-O- -D-glucopyranosyl-D-sorbitol), sorbitol, or mannitol, preferably in small amounts (e.g., less than about 10%, especially less than about 5%).
- Sugar alcohol mixtures suitable for use in the invention are commercially available from Palatinit of America, Inc., of Morris Plains, NJ, USA. Suitable mixtures are also described in EP 0625578 B1.
- the substantially non-hygroscopic sugar alcohol serves as a carrier (or bulking agent) for the nicotine actives and optional adjuvants.
- the solid, oral dosage form typically comprises at least about 40% of the sugar alcohol, preferably at least about 50%, more preferably at least about 70%, most preferably at least about 85%, based on the weight of the dosage form.
- nicotine actives are well known in the art and are commercially available. Specific examples of nicotine actives suitable for use in the present invention include nicotine oil, nicotine bitartrate, and nicotine complexed with cyclodextrin or polymer resins (e.g., nicotine polacrilex). Preferred nicotine actives are nicotine bitartrate, nicotine polacrilex, nicotine oil, and combinations thereof, especially nicotine bitartrate.
- the nicotine active may be used in one or more distinct physical forms well known in the art, including free base forms, encapsulated forms, ionized forms, and spray-dried forms.
- the oral dosage form comprises one or more nicotine actives in an amount effective to reduce nicotine cravings, preferably within one hour of starting oral administration.
- the product configuration including the amount of nicotine active, is effective to reduce nicotine cravings either rapidly (e.g., within about 10 minutes, preferably within about 5 minutes), over a prolonged period (e.g., at least about 1 hour, preferably at least about 2 hours), or both, preferably both.
- a prolonged period e.g., at least about 1 hour, preferably at least about 2 hours
- Such combined rapid and prolonged craving relief may result from either the nicotine active per se or a combination of the nicotine active with other means which reduce acute or extended nicotine cravings (e.g., non-pharmacological sensory signals (including taste, tactile, scent signals ⁇ provided by inert components, such as flavor, cooling, tingling, effervescence).
- the composition may comprise one or more flavors to provide rapid craving relief and an amount of nicotine active effective to provide relief of prolonged cravings.
- the amount of nicotine active may vary depending on the recommended or permitted therapeutic dosage for the particular nicotine active. Such dosages are known or ascertainable by conventional methods by those skilled in the medical arts.
- the composition preferably comprises from about 0.5 mg to about 5 mg of nicotine active per unit dosage form, more preferably from about 1 to about 4 mg nicotine active per unit dosage form.
- the nicotine active is preferably substantially contained in the glassy matrix, and may be uniformly distributed throughout the matrix or distributed in one or more regions of the matrix.
- the oral dosage form of the present invention may contain one or more optional ingredients, including ingredients such as are known in the art, e.g., buffers, flavorings, sugars, other sugar alcohols, high intensity sweeteners, colorants, vitamins, and antioxidants.
