Definitions
- the present invention relates to a nanoparticulate composition
- a nanoparticulate composition comprising a candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil.
- the candesartan particles have an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm.
- the compositions of the invention are useful in the treatment of hypertension or related cardiovascular conditions.
- Nanoparticulate compositions are particles consisting of a poorly soluble therapeutic or diagnostic agent having adsorbed onto the surface thereof a non-crosslinked surface stabilizer.
- the '684 patent does not describe nanoparticulate compositions of a benzimidazole derivative.
- Nanoparticulate compositions are also described, for example, in United States Patent Nos. 5,298,262 for "Use of Ionic Cloud Point Modifiers to Prevent Particle Aggregation During Sterilization;" 5,302,401 for “Method to Reduce Particle Size Growth During Lyophilization;” 5,318,767 for “X-Ray Contrast Compositions Useful in Medical Imaging;” 5,326,552 for “Novel Formulation For Nanoparticulate X-Ray Blood Pool Contrast Agents Using High Molecular Weight Non-ionic Surfactants;” 5,328,404 for “Method of X-Ray Imaging Using Iodinated Aromatic Propanedioates;” 5,336,507 for “Use of Charged Phospholipids to Reduce Nanoparticle Aggregation;” 5,340,564 for “Formulations Comprising OHn 10-G to Prevent Particle Aggregation and Increase Stability;” 5,346,702 for "Use of Non-Ionic Cloud Point Modifier
- Amorphous small particle compositions are described, for example, in United States Patent Nos. 4,783,484 for "Particulate Composition and Use Thereof as Antimicrobial Agent;” 4,826,689 for “Method for Making Uniformly Sized Particles from Water-Insoluble Organic Compounds;” 4,997,454 for “Method for Making Uniformly-Sized Particles From Insoluble Compounds;" 5,741,522 for "Ultrasmall, Non-aggregated Porous Particles of Uniform Size for Entrapping Gas Bubbles Within and Methods;" and 5,776,496, for "Ultrasmall Porous Particles for Enhancing Ultrasound Back Scatter.”
- compositions of the invention comprise a candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil.
- Candesartan cilexitil is offered under the registered trademark ATACAND® by AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, LP, of Wilmington, Delaware.
- ATACAND® a prodrug, is hydrolyzed to candesartan during absorption from the gastrointestinal tract.
- Candesartan is a selective angiotensin (AT) subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist.
- AT angiotensin
- Candesartan cilexitil a nonpeptide, is chemically described as (")-l-Hydroxyethyl 2- ethoxy- 1 - [p-(o- 1 H -tetrazol- 5 -ylphenyl)benzyl] -7-benzimidazolecarboxylate, cyclohexyl carbonate (ester). Its empirical formula is C 33 H 34 N 6 O 6 .
- Candesartan cilexitil is a white to off-white powder with a molecular weight of 610.67. It is practically insoluble in water. Candesartan cilexitil is a racemic mixture containing one chiral center at the cyclohexyloxycarbonyloxy ethyl ester group. Following oral administration, candesartan cilexitil undergoes hydrolysis at the ester link to form the active drug, candesartan, which is achiral.
- AT AC AND® is available for oral use as tablets containing either 4 mg, 8 mg, 16 mg, or 32 mg of candesartan cilexitil and the following inactive ingredients: hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, lactose, corn starch, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, and magnesium stearate. Ferric oxide (reddish brown) is added to the 8-mg, 16-mg, and 32-mg tablets as a colorant.
- Angiotensin II is formed from angiotensin I in a reaction catalyzed by angiotension- converting enzyme (ACE, kininase II).
- Angiotensin II is the principal agent of the renin- angiotensin system, with effects that include vasoconstriction, stimulation of synthesis and release of aldosterone, cardiac stimulation, and renal reabsorption of sodium.
- Candesartan blocks the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT 1 receptor in many tissues, such as vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. Its action is, therefore, independent of the pathways for angiotensin II synthesis.
- AT 2 receptor found in many tissues, but AT 2 is not known to be associated with cardiovascular homeostasis. Candesartan has much greater affinity (>10,000- fold) for the AT 1 receptor than for the AT 2 receptor.
- Blockage of the renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors which inhibit the biosynthesis of angiotensin II from angiotensin I, is widely used in the treatment of hypertension.
- ACE inhibitors also inhibit the degradation of bradykinin, a reaction also catalyzed by ACE. Because candesartan does not inhibit ACE (kininase II), it does not affect the response to bradykinin. Whether this difference has clinical relevance is not yet known. Candesartan does not bind to or block other hormone receptors or ion channels known to be important in cardiovascular regulation.
- Blockage of the angiotensin II receptor inhibits the negative regulatory feedback of angiotensin II on renin secretion, but the resulting increased plasma renin activity and angiotensin II circulating levels do not overcome the effect of candesartan on blood pressure.

Such methods comprise administering to a subject a therapeutically effective amount of a nanoparticulate candesartan composition according to the invention. Other methods of treatment using the nanoparticulate compositions of the invention are known to those skilled in the art.
- the present invention is directed to nanoparticulate compositions comprising candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil.
- the compositions comprise nanoparticulate candesartan particles having an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 run and at least one surface stabilizer.

- the compositions can be formulated for parenteral injection (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, or subcutaneous), oral administration in solid, liquid, or aerosol form, vaginal, nasal, otic, rectal, ocular, local (powders, ointments or drops), buccal, intracisternal, intraperitoneal, or topical administration, and the like.
- a preferred dosage form of the invention is a solid dosage form, although any pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form can be utilized.
- Exemplary solid dosage forms include, but are not limited to, tablets, capsules, sachets, lozenges, powders, pills, or granules, and the solid dosage form can be, for example, a fast melt dosage form, controlled release dosage form, lyophilized dosage form, delayed release dosage form, extended release dosage form, pulsatile release dosage form, mixed immediate release and controlled release dosage form, or a combination thereof.
- a solid dose tablet formulation is preferred.
- effective average particle size means that at least 50% of the nanoparticulate candesartan particles, such as candesartan cilexitil, have a weight average size of less than about 2000 nm, when measured by, for example, sedimentation field flow fractionation, photon correlation spectroscopy, light scattering, disk centrifugation, and other techniques known to those of skill in the art.
- a stable candesartan or a stable candesartan cilexitil particle connotes, but is not limited to one or more of the following parameters: (1) the candesartan particles do not appreciably flocculate or agglomerate due to interparticle attractive forces or otherwise significantly increase in particle size over time; (2) that the physical structure of the candesartan particles is not altered over time, such as by conversion from an amorphous phase to a crystalline phase; (3) that the candesartan particles are chemically stable; and/or (4) where the candesartan has not been subject to a heating step at or above the melting point of the candesartan in the preparation of the nanoparticles of the present invention.
- non-nanoparticulate active agent shall mean an active agent which is solubilized or which has an effective average particle size of greater than about 2000 nm. Nanoparticulate active agents as defined herein have an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm.
- pooledly water soluble drugs refers to those drugs that have a solubility in water of less than about 30 mg/ml, preferably less than about 20 mg/ml, preferably less than about 10 mg/ml, or preferably less than about 1 mg/ml.
- the phrase "therapeutically effective amount” shall mean that drug dosage that provides the specific pharmacological response for which the drug is administered in a significant number of subjects in need of such treatment. It is emphasized that a therapeutically effective amount of a drug that is administered to a particular subject in a particular instance will not always be effective in treating the conditions/diseases described herein, even though such dosage is deemed to be a therapeutically effective amount by those of skill in the art.
- the candesartan such as candesartan cilexitil, formulations of the invention are proposed to exhibit increased bioavailability and require smaller doses as compared to prior known, conventional candesartan formulations.
- compositions of the invention have unexpectedly dramatic dissolution profiles. Rapid dissolution of an administered active agent is preferable, as faster dissolution generally leads to faster onset of action and greater bioavailability. To improve the dissolution profile and bioavailability of the candesartan compound, it would be useful to increase the drug's dissolution so that it could attain a level close to 100%.
- the candesartan such as candesartan cilexitil
- compositions of the invention preferably have a dissolution profile in which within about 5 minutes at least about 20% of the composition is dissolved.
- at least about 30% or at least about 40% of the nanoparticulate candesartan composition is dissolved within about 5 minutes.
- preferably at least about 40%, at least about 50%, at least about 60%, at least about 70%, or at least about 80% of the nanoparticulate candesartan composition is dissolved within about 10 minutes.
- preferably at least about 70%, at least about 80%, at least about 90% or at least about 100% of the nanoparticulate candesartan composition is dissolved within about 20 minutes.
- Dissolution is preferably measured in a medium which is discriminating. Such a dissolution medium will produce two very different dissolution curves for two products having very different dissolution profiles in gastric juices; i.e., the dissolution medium is predictive of in vivo dissolution of a composition.
- An exemplary dissolution medium is an aqueous medium containing the surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate at 0.025 M. Determination of the amount dissolved can be carried out by spectrophotometry. The rotating blade method (European Pharmacopoeia) can be used to measure dissolution.
- candesartan such as candesartan cilexitil
- tablets have limited bioavailability because candesartan cilexitil is practically insoluble in water.
- the present invention is proposed to comprise nanoparticulate candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, compositions to improve the dissolution rate of the practically insoluble active compound.
- the improvement in dissolution rate is proposed to enhance the bioavailability of candesartan allowing a smaller dose to give the same in vivo blood levels as larger dosage amounts required in the past with conventional candesartan formulations, i.e., solubilized or microparticulate candesartan formulations.
- the enhanced dissolution rate is proposed to allow for a larger dose to be absorbed, which increases the efficacy of candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, and therefore the therapeutic outcome of all treatments involving candesartan, including therapy for hypertension and other related cardiovascular diseases.
- Another embodiment of the invention is directed to a candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, compositions comprising one or more compounds for use in treating hypertension or related cardiovascular conditions.

- Capoten® captopril
- enalapril Vasotec®
- fosinopril Monopril®
- lisinopril Primarynivil®, Zestril®
- Quinapril Accupril®
- ramipril Altace®
- I l calcium channel blockers include, but are not limited to, amlodipine (Norvasc®), diltiazem (Cardizem®), felodipine (Plendil®), isradipine (DynaCirc®), nicardipine (Cardene®), nifedipine (Procardia®), and verapamil (Calan®, Covera-HS®, Verelan®).

- mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists include, but are not limited to eplerenone (Inspra®).
- compositions of the present invention encompass a candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, wherein the pharmacokinetic profile of the candesartan is not substantially affected by the fed or fasted state of a subject ingesting the composition. This means that there is little or no appreciable difference in the quantity of drug absorbed or the rate of drug absorption when the nanoparticulate candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, compositions are administered in the fed versus the fasted state.
- Benefits of a dosage form which substantially eliminates the effect of food include an increase in subject convenience, thereby increasing subject compliance, as the subject does not need to ensure that they are taking a dose either with or without food. This is significant, as with poor subject compliance an increase in the medical condition for which the drug is being prescribed may be observed.

- the desirable pharmacokinetic profile is the pharmacokinetic profile measured after the initial dose of candesartan.
- a preferred candesartan composition of the invention is a nanoparticulate candesartan cilexitil composition that exhibits in comparative pharmacokinetic testing with a non-nanoparticulate candesartan formulation (e.g., ATACAND®), administered at the same dosage, a T max not greater than about 90%, not greater than about 80%, not greater than about 70%, not greater than about 60%, not greater than about 50%, not greater than about 30%, not greater than about 25%, not greater than about 20%, not greater than about 15%, not greater than about 10%, or not greater than about 5% of the T max exhibited by the non-nanoparticulate candesartan formulation.

- a nanoparticulate candesartan such as a nanoparticulate candesartan cilexitil
- the difference in absorption of the compositions comprising the nanoparticulate candesartan, such as candesartan cilexitil, when administered in the fed versus the fasted state, is preferably less than about 60%, less than about 55%, less than about 50%, less than about 45%, less than about 40%, less than about 35%, less than about 30%, less than about 25%, less than about 20%, less than about 15%, less than about 10%, less than about 5%, or less than about 3%.

- compositions of the present invention redisperse such that the effective average particle size of the redispersed candesartan particles is less than about 2 microns. This is significant, as if upon administration the nanoparticulate candesartan compositions of the invention did not redisperse to a nanoparticulate particle size, then the dosage form may lose the benefits afforded by formulating the candesartan into a nanoparticulate particle size.
- a nanoparticulate size suitable for the present invention is an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm.
- the nanoparticulate active agent compositions of the present invention benefit from the small particle size of the active agent; if the active agent does not redisperse into a small particle size upon administration, then "clumps" or agglomerated active agent particles are formed, owing to the extremely high surface free energy of the nanoparticulate system and the thermodynamic driving force to achieve an overall reduction in free energy. With the formation of such agglomerated particles, the bioavailability of the dosage form may fall well below that observed with the liquid dispersion form of the nanoparticulate active agent.
- the nanoparticulate candesartan compositions of the invention exhibit dramatic redispersion of the nanoparticulate candesartan particles upon administration to a mammal, such as a human or animal, as demonstrated by reconstitution/redispersion in a biorelevant aqueous media such that the effective average particle size of the redispersed candesartan particles is less than about 2 microns.
- a biorelevant aqueous media can be any aqueous media that exhibit the desired ionic strength and pH, which form the basis for the biorelevance of the media.
- the desired pH and ionic strength are those that are representative of physiological conditions found in the human body.
- Such biorelevant aqueous media can be, for example, aqueous electrolyte solutions or aqueous solutions of any salt, acid, or base, or a combination thereof, which exhibit the desired pH and ionic strength.
- Biorelevant pH is well known in the art.
- the pH ranges from slightly less than 2 (but typically greater than 1) up to 4 or 5.
- the pH can range from 4 to 6, and in the colon it can range from 6 to 8.
- Biorelevant ionic strength is also well known in the art. Fasted state gastric fluid has an ionic strength of about 0.1M while fasted state intestinal fluid has an ionic strength of about 0.14. See e.g., Lindahl et al, "Characterization of Fluids from the Stomach and Proximal Jejunum in Men and Women," Pharm. Res., 14 (4): 497-502 (1997). It is believed that the pH and ionic strength of the test solution is more critical than the specific chemical content.
- pH and ionic strength values can be obtained through numerous combinations of strong acids, strong bases, salts, single or multiple conjugate acid-base pairs (i.e., weak acids and corresponding salts of that acid), monoprotic and polyprotic electrolytes, etc.
- electrolyte solutions can be, but are not limited to, HCl solutions, ranging in concentration from about 0.001 to about 0.1 M, and NaCl solutions, ranging in concentration from about 0.001 to about 0.1 M, and mixtures thereof.
- electrolyte solutions can be, but are not limited to, about 0.1 M HCl or less, about 0.01 M HCl or less, about 0.001 M HCl or less, about 0.1 M NaCl or less, about 0.01 M NaCl or less, about 0.001 M NaCl or less, and mixtures thereof.
- 0.01 M HCl and/or 0.1 M NaCl are most representative of fasted human physiological conditions, owing to the pH and ionic strength conditions of the proximal gastrointestinal tract.
- Electrolyte concentrations of 0.001 M HCl, 0.01 M HCl, and 0.1 M HCl correspond to pH 3, pH 2, and pH 1, respectively.
- a 0.01 M HCl solution simulates typical acidic conditions found in the stomach.
- a solution of 0.1 M NaCl provides a reasonable approximation of the ionic strength conditions found throughout the body, including the gastrointestinal fluids, although concentrations higher than 0.1 M may be employed to simulate fed conditions within the human GI tract.
- Exemplary solutions of salts, acids, bases or combinations thereof, which exhibit the desired pH and ionic strength include but are not limited to phosphoric acid/phosphate salts + sodium, potassium and calcium salts of chloride, acetic acid/acetate salts + sodium, potassium and calcium salts of chloride, carbonic acid/bicarbonate salts + sodium, potassium and calcium salts of chloride, and citric acid/citrate salts + sodium, potassium and calcium salts of chloride.
