Definitions
- the present invention is related to a process for preparing pharmaceutical 5 formulations having improved stability and flow properties by spray freeze drying lypophilic active subtances such as natural cannabinoid compounds, especially ⁇ 9 - tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
- the invention further relates to the formulations obtained having specific particle properties.
- WO03/082246 describes the use of a stable sugar based solid dispersion of a lypophilic substance, that preferably is obtained by freeze drying, from a mixture obtained by mixing a solution of the sugar in water with a solution of the lypophilic substance in an organic solvent miscible with wate r.
- the oligo-fructose inulin is shown to be an excellent stabilising carrier due to its high
- the lyophilized material can be dry granulated to obtain a free flowing powder for direct compression .
- the above described formulation can be used to prepare oral dosage forms and to prepare a product suitab le for pulmonary
- phase separation is prevented. Once the solution is frozen , molecular mobility has decreased to such extend that phase separation is no longer possible. Also when the product is dried and in the glassy state phase separation is not possible.
- phase separation of the lipophilic or hydrophilic solutes may occur because of the increased tendency for phase separation at lower temperatures. It is therefore of paramount importance that the solution is cooled to a temperature below the Tg' before phase separation of one of the solutes has occurred. If phase separation occurs, a true solid dispersion is not obtained and patches that consist of clusters of non protected lipophilic compound will occur in the solid dispersion. This will lead to loss of the advantages that are obtained by the formation of true solid dispersions , such as an improved stability against oxidation and decomposition during storage .
- lipophilic active compound means an active compound having a solubility in water lower than 1 mg/ml.
- the invention is especially useful for active compounds having such a low solubility in water but is even more useful for compounds having a solubility in water lower than 0.5 mg/ml or even lower than 0.1 mg/ml.
- lipophilic active compounds are ⁇ 9 -tetrahydro-cannabinol, diazepam and cyclosporin A.
- the droplet size of the aerosol depends on different factors such as the intended use of the particles and the amount of solid material in the solution. In general the size of the aerosol droplets will be between 1 and 5000 ⁇ m, preferably between 1 and 500 ⁇ m and most preferred between 5 and 500 ⁇ m .
- This freeze drying technique large volumes of the solution can be frozen and further freeze dried to form a powder.
- high concentrations of the solutes can be applied, provided spraying is performed fast enough to prevent phase separation after mixing of both solutions.
- the second publication compares the two processes of spray drying and spray freeze drying in the preparation of inhalation powders.
- the spray freeze drying process might involve more stressful events which might affect protein's stability than the spray drying process.
- the stability is related to effect of the drying process on the quality of the product formed during the drying process . Both papers are, however, silent about the stability of the powder product during storage.

- Preferred non -reducing sugars to use in the present invention are fructans or mixtures of fructans.
- a fructan is understood to mean any oligo- or polysaccharide which contains a plurality of anhydrofructan units.
- the fructans can have a polydisperse chain length distribution, and can have a straight or branched chain.
- the fructans Preferably contain mainly ⁇ -1 ,2 bonds, as in inulin, but they can also contain ⁇ -2,6 bonds, as in levan.
- Suitable fructans can originate directly from a natural source, but may also have undergone modification.
- Examples of modifications are reactions known per se that lead to a lengthening or shortening of the chain length.
- polysaccharides also industrially prepared polysaccharides, such as hydrolysis products which have shortened chains and fractionated products having a modified chain length are suitable in the present invention.
- a hydrolysis reaction to obtain a fructan having a reduced chain length can be carried out enzymatically (for instance with endoinulase), chemically (for instance with aqueous acid, physically (for instance thermally) or by the use of heterogeneous catalysis (for instance with an acid ion exchanger).
- fructans such as inulin
- Other fructans such as long-chain fructans, can be obtained, for instance through crystalli zation, from fructans from which mono-and disaccharides have been removed.
- Fructans whose chain length has been enzymatically extended can also serve as fructan in the present invention.
- reduced fructans can be used, which are fructans whose reducing end groups, normally fructose groups, have been reduced, for instance with sodium borohydride, or hydrogen in the presence of a transition metal catalysts.
- Fructans which have been chemically modified such as crosslinked fructans and hydroxyalkylated fructans, can also be used.
- the average chain length in all these fructans is expressed as the number-average degree of polymerization (DP).
- DP is defined as the average number of sugar units in the oligo - or polymer.

- the most important sources for the production of inulin are the Jerusalem artichoke, the dahlia and the chicory root.
- Industrial production starts mainly from the chicory root.
- the main difference between inulins originating from the different natural sources resides in the degree of polymerization (DP), which can vary from about 6 in Jerusalem artichokes to 10-14 in chicory roots and higher than 20 in the dahlia.
- Inulin is an oligo - or polysaccharide which in amorphous condition has favorable physicochemical properties for the application as auxiliary substance in pharmaceutical formulations.
- the weight ratio of lipophilic compound to sugar or sugar alcohol is typically in the range of between 1 : 1 to 1 :200, more preferably in the range of between 1 :10 and 1 :50 and most preferred in the range between 1 :12 and 1 : 25.
- Organic solvents which are suitable to form a mixture that is stable for a sufficient amount of time with the sugar, water and the lipophilic compound are solvents which are mixable with water such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N 1 N - dimethylformamide (DMF), acetonitrile, ethylacetate, 1 ,4-dioxane and lower alcohols.

- the porosity ( ⁇ ) after spray freeze drying was measured according to the following procedure. Inulin was dissolved in water/TBA mixtures of 6/4 v/v. The inulin concentration (c) was varied from 13.3 mg/ml up to 100 mg/ml. These solutions were slowly pumped through a tube to generate equally sized droplets. The volume of the generated droplets (V dlOp ) was determined by counting the number of drops necessary to fill a volume of 5.00 ml. The droplets were frozen by dropping them into a bucket filled with liquid nitrogen. The frozen solution spheres were photographed by a digital camera together with a ruler for calibration. Sigma Scan Pro 5.0 (Jandel Scientific, Erkrath, Germany) was used to determine the cross sectional area of the frozen droplets. Subsequently, the diameter was calculated. The diameter of the spray freeze dried particles (d p ) was determined according to the same procedu re. The porosity was calculated with the following equation:
- Double sided adhesive tape was placed on an aluminium specimen holder upon which a small amount of powder was deposited.
- the particles were coated with approximately 10-20 nm gold/palladium, using a sputter coater (Balzer AG, type 120B, Balzers, Liechtenstein). Scans were performed using a JEOL scanning electron microscope (JEOL, type JSM-6301 F, Japan) at an acceleration voltage of 1.5 kV. All micrographs were taken at a magnification of 2000.
- the geometric particle size distribution was measured with a Sympatec HELOS compact KA laser diffraction apparatus (Sympatec GmbH, Clausthal -Zellerfeld, Germany).
- the powder was dispersed using a RODOS dry powder dispenser at 0.5 bar or using an inhaler adapter (INHALER, Sympatec GmbH, Clausthal -Zellerfeld, Germany) in combination with a test inhaler based on air classifier technology at 60 L/min for 3 seconds (A. H. de Boer et al. Int. J. Pharm. 2002, 249, 233-245; A. H. de Boer et al., Int. J . Pharm . 2003, 260, 187-200).
- a 100 mm lens was used and calculations were based on the Fraunhofer theory. All data given are the mean of at least four measurements.
- Thermal behaviour of the spray freeze dried powders was determined by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC) on a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC2920, TA Instruments, Gent, Belgium). A modulation amplitude of 0.318 0 C, a modulation period of 60 seconds and a heating rate of 2°C/min was used. Calibration was performed with indium. Standard aluminium sample pans were use d. During measurement, the sample cell was purged with nitrogen at a flow rate of 35 mL/min. Before scanning, the sample pan was heated at 2°C/min to 50 0 C to remove all residual moisture. Subsequently, the sample was cooled to -20 0 C and then scanned up to 180 0 C. The glass transition temperature (Tg) was defined as the inflection point of the change in specific heat in the reversing signal.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- a 5-point nitrogen adsorption isotherm at 77 K was measured with a Tristar surface analyser Micromeritics Instrument Corporation, Norcross (GA), USA.
- the BET theory S. Brunauer et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1938, 60, 309-319 was used to calculate the surface area.
- Duplicate analyses were performed with all spray freeze dried powders taken from a vacuum desiccator. For every drug load two different batches were analysed.
- the flow rate of the eluens (methanol/water 92/8 (v/v) plus 5 drops concentrated sulphuric acid per litre eluens) was set at 1.0 mL/min.
- a large peak was observed at a retention time of 7.5 min.
- some calibration samples were included.
- Example 2 Preparation of spray freeze dried powder of THC to form an inulin glass.
- an aqueous inulin solution of various concentrations and a 10-mg/mL THC in TBA solution were prepared (Table I).
- Table I Composition of the different mixtures used to produce the solid dispersions.
- the spray freeze dried solid dispersions appeared as a white powder with a low bulk density ranging from about 20 to 85 mg/cm 3 and a very high bulk porosity ranging from 94% to 99% depending on the total solid concentration in the solution.
- the geometric volume median diameter (x 50 ) of all THC containing powders was analysed with laser diffraction using two different dispersion methods. Firstly, the materials were dispersed with a RODOS disperser at a relatively low pressure of 0.5 bar in order to minimize the dispersion forces during the measurement. Secondly, the powders were dispersed by means of the test inhaler at 60 L/min for 3 seconds in order to measure the geometric particle size that actually leaves the inhaler. These test conditions correspond with the conditions during cascade impactor analysis.
- the particle size seems smaller. Apparently, due to their higher porosity, the particles are so fragile that the relatively Io w dispersion forces generated with the RODOS are already large enough to break up and de - agglomerate these powders. Much larger dispersion forces that are generated when the powders are dispersed with the test inhaler result in smaller particles (see Fig. 2). In this case, also less porous and less fragile particles (lower drug loads) are broken and de-agglomerated. Apparently, they are fragile enough to allow for disruption by the applied dispersion forces. Disruption may be advantageous to obtain high alveolar deposition during inhalation (see further).
- the BET specific surface areas of all powders ranged from about 70 to 110 m 2 /g. These very high specific surface area's are in accordance with previously reported data on spray freeze dried materials .
- the powders were characterized by modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC).
- MDSC modulated differential scanning calorimetry
- Table III the glass transition temperatures (Tg's) of THC, amorphous inulin and the different solid dispersions are presented. As reported before, THC remains also above the Tg in the amorphous state since it resists crystallization. A Tg of 9.3°C was observed for the pure THC.
- the inulin type used in this study has a Tg of 155°C. The results show that incorporation of THC in inulin glasses does not affect the Tg of inulin. Table III. Glass transition temperatures found in solid dispersions with various drug loads. All mixtures were prepared by spray freeze drying.
- THC molecules are homogeneously dispersed in the inulin but form a percolating system or that THC is not dispersed homogeneously throughout the inulin carrier anymore. In either case THC molecules are neighbouring resulting in a Tg of pure THC.
- Example 4 Stability of THC in the spray freeze dried inuline glass powder as function of drug load.
- THC content as a function of storage time in spray freeze dried powders with 4 and 8wt-% THC and in pure THC samples.
- the THC content in spray freeze dried powders containing 4 and 8wt-% THC initially is plotted as a function of time. It was found that pure THC degrades completely within about 50 days when exposed to air of 20°C/45%RH. (see Fig. 3A) However, when it is incorporated in the glassy inulin matrix, about 80% of the THC could be recovered after 300 days. When the more stressful storage condition of 60°C/8%RH is chosen, pure THC degraded completely within 15 days, (see Fig. 3B) Again the glassy inulin matrix decelerated THC degradation. No differences in degradation rate were observed betwee n the 4 and 8% drug load.
- Example 5 Effect of batch size/freezing rate on stability of freeze dried THC in inulin.
- Example 6 In vitro deposition behaviour of the spray freeze dried THC containing powders
- the geometric particle sizes reported as the volume median diameter in the shaded bars in figure 2, indicated that the particles produced with spray freeze drying are rather large for an application in pulmonary drug delivery. Generally particles between 1 and 5 ⁇ m having a density of approximately 1 mg/cm 3 are considered suitable for inhalation . After dispersion with the inhaler adapter, the geom etric particle size of the powders measured with laser diffraction was about this size.
- the size limits refer to the aerodynamic diameter d ae r o , which is determined by the geometric diameter d geo , the density of the particle p p (estimations are given in table II), and the reference density p r (the density of water taken as 1 g/cm 3 )
- the shape factor ⁇ equals 1 for spherical particles and is larger than 1 for non -spherical particles.
- the aerodynamic diameter can be calculated according to the followi ng equation.
- the aerodynamic diameter will be substantially smaller than the geometric diameter.
- the aerodyn amic diameter will be approximately 40-20% of the geometrical diameter depending on the porosity and density of the particles. Therefore, it was interesting to subject the powders to cascade impactor analysis, because the results are governed by the aerodynamic diameter. Moreover, the outcome of cascade impactor analysis is considered to be predictive regarding the suitability for inhalation in vivo.
- the air classifier type inhaler was used in the cascade impactor analysis because laser diffraction analysis showed small particles leaving the inhaler, caused by the strong dispersion forces typical for this type of inhaler (A. H. de Boer et al., Int. J. Pharm. 2003, 260, 187-200).
- Example 7 Effect of batch size/freezing rate on mode of incorporation of diazepam.
- the lipophilic model drug diazepam was incorporated in inulin (type TEXI803) by means of v ial freeze drying (volumes of 2 ml in a vial were frozen) and spray freeze drying.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- DSC Differential Scanning Calorimetry
- CsA Cyclosporin A
- TBA terf-butanol
- DP23 inulin
- concentrations of CsA in TBA and inulin in water were adjusted to achieve a 5%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 50% (w/w CsA/inulin) drugload with a total concentration of 65 mg/ml when the TBA/CsA solution was mixed with the water/inulin solution in a ratio of 40% (v/v) TBA/CsA and 60% (v/v) water/inulin.
- a batch of pure CsA was also produced in a TBA/water solution, albeit in a lower total concentration of 3 mg/ml.
- the partial concentration of CsA in TBA used in the pure CsA batch was comparable to the partial concentration of a 5% (w/w) formulation.
- TBA/CsA solution After mixing the TBA/CsA solution with the water/inulin solution in a 40:60 (v/v) ratio the resulting solution was sprayed over a bowl of liquid nitrogen.
- the solution was sprayed using a two -fluid nozzle with an orifice of 0.5 mm, a fluid flow rate of 3 ml/min and an atomizing air flow rate of 500 l/h.
- the bowl of liquid nitrogen con taining frozen droplets of TBA/water was transferred to a lyophilizer.
