Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel compositions and dosage forms for patients in need of platelet aggregation inhibition therapy.
- the present invention relates to novel compositions and dosage forms for the delivery of ticlopidine and to methods of treatment and suppression using the same.
- Ticlopidine is known as (5-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridine).
- Ticlopidine hydrochloride the hydrochloride salt of ticlopidine, has a molecular weight of 300.25 and is a white, crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and self-buffers to a pH of about 3.6. It dissolves in methanol, is sparingly soluble in methylene chloride and ethanol, slightly soluble in acetone and insoluble in a buffer solution of pH 6.3.
- Ticlopidine belongs to the thieneo-pyridine class of compounds and is used as a platelet aggregation inhibitor. Ticlopidine causes a time and dose-dependent inhibition of ADP-induced platelet-f ⁇ brinogen binding as well as prolongation of bleeding time. The effect on platelet function is irreversible for the life of the platelet, as shown both by persistent inhibition of fibrinogen binding after washing platelets ex vivo and by inhibition of platelet aggregation after resuspension of platelets in buffered medium. The reduction of fibrinogen in plasma has the effects of lowering the blood viscosity and improving the plasticity of the red blood cells. In view this activity in preventing excessive blood clotting, ticlopidine is used to reduce the risk of stroke, particularly in patients who have previously had a stroke or who have experienced transient ischemic attacks (TIAs or "mini- strokes").
- TIAs or "mini- strokes" transient ischemic attacks
- ticlopidine hydrochloride Conventional tableted ticlopidine hydrochloride is marketed by Roche Laboratories (Nutley, New Jersey) under the trade name Ticlid ® . In addition to 250 mg of ticlopidine hydrochloride, these film-coated tablets also contain citric acid, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, povidone, starch and stearic acid. Ticlopidine hydrochloride tablets, such as Ticlid ® , have a half-life of about 12.6 hours, and are administered orally two or more times a day.
- ticlopidine hydrochloride Upon oral administration of a single 250-mg dose, ticlopidine hydrochloride is rapidly absorbed with peak plasma levels occurring at approximately 2 hours after dosing and is extensively metabolized. Absorption is greater than 80%. Administration after meals results in a 20% increase in the AUC of ticlopidine. Ticlopidine hydrochloride displays nonlinear pharmacokinetics and clearance decreases markedly on repeated dosing. In older volunteers the apparent half-life of ticlopidine after a single 250-mg dose is about 12.6 hours; with repeat dosing at 250 mg bid, the terminal elimination half-life rises to 4 to 5 days and steady-state levels of ticlopidine hydrochloride in plasma are obtained after approximately 14 to 21 days.
- Ticlopidine hydrochloride binds reversibly (98%) to plasma proteins, mainly to serum albumin and lipoproteins. The binding to albumin and lipoproteins is nonsaturable over a wide concentration range. Ticlopidine also binds to alpha- 1 acid glycoprotein. At concentrations attained with the recommended dose, only 15% or less ticlopidine in plasma is bound to this protein.
- Ticlopidine hydrochloride is metabolized extensively by the liver; only trace amounts of intact drug are detected in the urine. Following an oral dose of radioactive ticlopidine hydrochloride administered in solution, 60% of the radioactivity is recovered in the urine and 23% in the feces. Approximately 1/3 of the dose excreted in the feces is intact ticlopidine hydrochloride, possibly excreted in the bile. Ticlopidine hydrochloride is a minor component in plasma (5%) after a single dose, but at steady-state is the major component (15%). Approximately 40% to 50% of the radioactive metabolites circulating in plasma are covalently bound to plasma proteins, probably by acylation.
- the effectiveness of pharmaceutical compounds in the prevention and treatment of disease states depends on a variety of factors including the rate and duration of delivery of the compound from the dosage form to the patient.
- the combination of delivery rate and duration exhibited by a given dosage form in a patient can be described as its in vivo release profile and, depending on the pharmaceutical compound administered, will be associated with a concentration and duration of the pharmaceutical compound in the blood plasma, referred to as a plasma profile.
- a plasma profile concentration and duration of the pharmaceutical compound in the blood plasma
- the release profiles of dosage forms may exhibit different rates and durations of release and may be continuous or pulsatile.
- Continuous release profiles include release profiles in which one or more pharmaceutical compounds are released continuously, either at a constant or variable rate
- pulsatile release profiles include release profiles in which at least two discrete quantities of one or more pharmaceutical compounds are released at different rates and/or over different time frames.
- the release profile for a given dosage form gives rise to an associated plasma profile in a patient.
- the associated plasma profile in a patient may exhibit constant or variable blood plasma concentration levels of the pharmaceutical compounds in the dosage form over the duration of action and may be continuous or pulsatile.
- Continuous plasma profiles include plasma profiles of all rates and duration which exhibit a single plasma concentration maximum.
- Pulsatile plasma profiles include plasma profiles in which at least two higher blood plasma concentration levels of pharmaceutical compound are separated by a lower blood plasma concentration level. Pulsatile plasma profiles exhibiting two peaks may be described as "bimodal."
- the release profile of the dosage form as a whole is a combination of the individual release profiles.
- the release profile of a two-component dosage form in which each component has a different release profile may described as "bimodal.”
- the resultant release profile of the dosage form may be described as "multimodal.”
- a bimodal or multimodal release profile may result in either a continuous or a pulsatile plasma profile in a patient.
- modified release compositions or formulations which substantially mimic the release of frequent IR dosage regimes, while reducing the need for frequent dosing, is desirable.
- modified release compositions or formulations which combine the benefits of at least two different release profiles to achieve a resultant plasma profile exhibiting pharmacokinetic values within therapeutically effective parameters is also desirable.
- a typical example of a drag which may produce tolerance in patients is rnethylphenidate.
- Methylphenidate, or ⁇ -phenyl-2-piperidine acetic acid methyl ester is a stimulant affecting the central nervous and respiratory systems and is primarily used in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- ADHD attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
- GIT gastrointestinal tract
- drag effects persist for 3-6 hours after oral administration of conventional IR tablets or up to about 8 hours after oral administration of extended release formulations.
- the total dosage is typically in the range of 5-30 mg per day, in exceptional cases rising to 60 mg/day.
- methylphenidate is given twice daily, typically with one dose given before breakfast and a second dose given before lunch. The last daily dose is preferably given several hours before retiring.
- Adverse effects associated with methylphenidate treatment include insomnia and the development of patient tolerance.
- WO 98/14168 (Alza Corp.) teaches a dosage form and a method of administering methylphenidate in a sustained and constantly ascending rate.
- the dosage form disclosed comprises a plurality of beads comprising a hydrogel matrix with increasing amounts of the active ingredient therein, coated with varying amounts of a release rate controlling material. Appropriate combinations of the active ingredient dose and the number and thickness coating layers can be selected to give an ascending release profile in which the plasma concentration of the active ingredient continually increases over a given period of time.
- An object of WO 98/14168 is to release a dosage form at a constantly ascending rate specifically to avoid uneven blood levels (characterized by peaks and troughs) associated with conventional treatments using immediate release dosage formulations. As a result, this formulation does not deliver the active ingredient in either a pulsatile or a bimodal manner.
- WO 97/03672 discloses that methylphenidate exhibits a therapeutic effect when administered in the form of a racemic mixture or in the form of a single isomer (such as the RR d-threo enantiomer).
- WO 97/03763 discloses a sustained release formulation containing d-threo methylphenidate (dtmp). This disclosure teaches the use of a composition comprising a coating through which the dtmp passes in order to attain sustained release and achieve serum levels (of the active ingredient) of at least 50% cmax over a period of at least 8 hours. As above, this formulation does not deliver the active ingredient in either a pulsatile or a bimodal manner.
- Giunchedi et al. Int. J. Pharm (1991) 77:177-181 discloses the use of a hydrophilic matrix multiple-unit formulation for the pulsed release of ketoprofen.
- Giunchedi et al. teach that ketoprofen is rapidly eliminated from the blood after dosing (plasma half-life 1-3 hours) and consecutive pulses of drug may be more beneficial than constant release for some treatments.
- the multiple-unit formulation disclosed comprises four identical hydrophilic matrix tablets placed in a gelatin capsule. Although the in vivo studies show two peaks in the plasma profile there is no well defined wash out period and the variation between the peak and trough plasma levels is small.
- the three layer tablet is made up of a first layer containing the active ingredient, a barrier layer (the second layer) of semi-permeable material which is interposed between the first layer and a third layer containing an additional amount of active ingredient.
- the barrier layer and the third layer are housed in an impermeable casing.
- the first layer dissolves upon contact with a dissolving fluid while the third layer is only available after dissolution or rupture of the barrier layer. In such a tablet the first portion of active ingredient must be released instantly.
- This approach also requires the provision of a semi-permeable layer between the first and third layers in order to control the relative rates of delivery of the two portions of active ingredient. Additionally, rupture of the semi-permeable layer leads to uncontrolled dumping of the second portion of the active ingredient which may not be desirable.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,158,777 discloses a formulation comprising captopril within an enteric or delayed release coated pH stable core combined with additional captopril which is available for immediate release following administration.

- any suitable modified release matrix material or suitable combination of modified release matrix materials may be used. Such materials are known to those skilled in the art.
- modified release matrix material includes hydrophilic polymers, hydrophobic polymers and mixtures thereof which are capable of modifying the release of ticlopidine dispersed therein in vitro or in vivo.
- Modified release matrix materials suitable for the practice of the present invention include but are not limited to macrocrystalline cellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcelluloses such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and hydroxypropylcellulose, polyethylene oxide, alkylcelluloses such as methylcellulose and ethylcellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose acteate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acteate phthalate, cellulose acteate trimellitate, polyvinylacetate phthalate, polyalkylmethacrylates, polyvinyl acetate and mixture thereof.
- a modified release composition according to the present invention may be incorporated into any suitable dosage form which facilitates release of the active ingredient in a pulsatile manner.
- the dosage form comprises a blend of different populations of active ingredient- containing particles which make up the immediate release and the modified release components, the blend being filled into suitable capsules, such as hard or soft gelatin capsules.
- suitable capsules such as hard or soft gelatin capsules.
- the different individual populations of active ingredient-containing particles may be compressed (optionally with additional excipients) into mini-tablets which may be subsequently filled into capsules in the appropriate proportions.
- Another suitable dosage form is that of a multilayer tablet. In this instance the first component of the modified release composition may be compressed into one layer, with the second component being subsequently added as a second layer of the multilayer tablet.
- the populations of ticlopidine-containing particles making up the composition of the invention may further be included in rapidly dissolving dosage forms such as an effervescent dosage form or a fast- melt dosage form.
- the composition and the solid oral dosage forms containing the composition release ticlopidine such that substantially all of the ticlopidine contained in the first component is released prior to release of ticlopidine from the at least one second component.
- the first component comprises an IR component
- release of ticlopidine from subsequent components may be delayed until substantially all of the ticlopidine contained in the first component has been released, and further delayed until at least a portion the ticlopidine released from the first component has been cleared from the patient's system.
- the release of ticlopidine from subsequent components of the composition is substantially, if not completely, delayed for a period of at least about six hours after administration of the composition.
- the release of ticlopidine from subsequent components of the composition is substantially, if not completely, delayed for a period of at least about twelve hours after administration of the composition.
- the present invention also includes various types of modified release systems by which ticlopidine may be delivered in either a pulsatile or continuous manner.
- These systems include but are not limited to: films with ticlopidine in a polymer matrix (monolithic devices); ticlopidine contained by the polymer (reservoir devices); polymeric colloidal particles or microencapsulates (microparticles, microspheres or nanoparticles) in the form of reservoir and matrix devices; ticlopidine contained by a polymer containing a hydrophilic and/or leachable additive e.g., a second polymer, surfactant or plasticizer, etc.
- a hydrophilic and/or leachable additive e.g., a second polymer, surfactant or plasticizer, etc.
- ticlopidine may be osmotically controlled (both reservoir and matrix devices); enteric coatings (ionizable and dissolve at a suitable pH); (soluble) polymers with (covalently) attached pendant drug molecules; and devices where release rate is controlled dynamically: e.g., the osmotic pump.
- the delivery mechanism of the present invention can control the rate of release of ticlopidine. While some mechanisms will release ticlopidine at a constant rate, others will vary as a function of time depending on factors such as changing concentration gradients or additive leaching leading to porosity, etc.
- Polymers used in sustained release coatings are necessarily biocompatible, and ideally biodegradable.
- examples of both naturally occurring polymers such as Aquacoat ® (FMC Corporation, Food & Pharmaceutical Products Division, Philadelphia, USA) (ethylcellulose mechanically spheronised to sub-micron sized, aqueous based, pseudo-latex dispersions), and also synthetic polymers such as the Eudragit ® (Rohm Pharma, Rothstadt) range of poly(acrylate, methacrylate) copolymers are known in the art.
- a modified release is achieved by encapsulation or containment of the drug entirely (e.g., as a core) within a polymer film or coat (i.e., microcapsules or spray/pan coated cores).
- a polymer film or coat i.e., microcapsules or spray/pan coated cores.
- the various factors that can affect the diffusion process may readily be applied to reservoir devices (e.g., the effects of additives, polymer functionality (and, hence, sink-solution pH) porosity, film casting conditions, etc.) and, hence, the choice of polymer must be an important consideration in the development of reservoir devices.
- Modeling the release characteristics of reservoir devices and monolithic devices in which the transport of the drug is by a solution-diffusion mechanism therefore typically involves a solution to Fick's second law (unsteady-state conditions; concentration dependent flux) for the relevant boundary conditions.
- the rate of release decreases exponentially with time as the concentration (activity) of the agent ⁇ i.e., the driving force for release) within the device decreases (i.e., first order release). If, however, the active agent is in a saturated suspension, then the driving force for release is kept constant until the device is no longer saturated.
- the release-rate kinetics may be desorption controlled, and a function of the square root of time.
- Transport properties of coated tablets may be enhanced compared to free-polymer films, due to the enclosed nature of the tablet core (the permeant) which may enable the internal build-up of an osmotic pressure which will then act to force the permeant out of the tablet.
- the osmotic force decreased with increasing levels of PEG content.
- the lower PEG levels allowed water to be imbibed through the hydrated polymer, while the porosity resulting from the coating dissolving at higher levels of PEG content (20 to 40%) allow the pressure to be relieved by the flow of KCl.
- Monolithic (matrix) devices where the active agent is provided within a polymer matrix, are commonly used for controlling the release of drugs. Such devices are typically formed by the compression of a polymer/drug mixture or by dissolution or melting. In contrast to reservoir devices, the danger of an accidental high dosage that could result from the rupture of the membrane of a reservoir device is not present in the monolithic device.
- the release properties of monolithic devices may be dependent upon a variety of factors including whether the drug is dispersed or dissolved in the polymer, the solubility of the drug in the polymer matrix and, in the case of porous matrices, the solubility in the sink solution within the particle's pore network and the tortuosity of the network.
- the drug For low loadings of drug, (0 to 5% w/v) the drug will be released by a solution-diffusion mechanism (in the absence of pores).
- the release mechanism will be complicated by the presence of cavities formed near the surface of the device as the drug is lost: such cavities fill with fluid from the environment increasing the rate of release of the drug.
- plasticizer e.g., a poly(ethylene glycol)
- a surfactant i.e., an ingredient which increases effectiveness
- adjuvant i.e., an ingredient which increases effectiveness
- surfactant may increase the drug release rate by three possible mechanisms: (i) increased solubilization, (ii) improved "wettability" to the dissolution media, and (iii) pore formation as a result of surfactant leaching.
- Composite devices consisting of a polymer/drug matrix coated in a polymer containing no drug also exist. Such a device was constructed from aqueous Eudragit ® lattices, and was found to provide a continuous release by diffusion of the drug from the core through the shell. Similarly, a polymer core containing the drug has been produced and coated with a shell that was eroded by gastric fluid. The rate of release of the drug was found to be relatively linear (a function of the rate limiting diffusion process through the shell) and inversely proportional to the shell thickness, whereas the release from the core alone was found to decrease with time.
- Hollow microspheres were formed by preparing a solution of ethanol/dichloromethane containing the drug and polymer. On pouring into water, an emulsion is formed containing the dispersed polymer/drug/solvent particles, by a coacervation-rype process from which the ethanol rapidly diffused precipitating polymer at the surface of the droplet to give a hard-shelled particle enclosing the drug dissolved in the dichloromethane. A gas phase of dichloromethane was then generated within the particle which, after diffusing through the shell, was observed to bubble to the surface of the aqueous phase.
- the hollow sphere at reduced pressure, then filled with water which could be removed by a period of drying. No drug was found in the water.
- Highly porous matrix-type microspheres have also been described.
- the matrix-type microspheres were prepared by dissolving the drug and polymer in ethanol. On addition to water, the ethanol diffused from the emulsion droplets to leave a highly porous particle.
- a suggested use of the microspheres was as floating drug delivery devices for use in the stomach.
- Pendent devices for attaching a range of drugs such, as for example, analgesics and antidepressants, etc., by means of an ester linkage to poly(acrylate) ester latex particles prepared by aqueous emulsion polymerization has been developed.
- Drugs have been attached to polymers, and also monomers have been synthesized with a pendent drug attached. Dosage forms have been prepared in which the drug is bound to a biocompatible polymer by a labile chemical bond e.g., polyanhydrides prepared from a substituted anhydride (itself prepared by reacting an acid chloride with the drug: methacryloyl chloride and the sodium salt of methoxy benzoic acid) were used to form a matrix with a second polymer (Eudragit ® RL) which released the drug on hydrolysis in gastric fluid.
- a second polymer Engelgit ® RL
- Enteric coatings and films consist of pH sensitive polymers.
- the polymers are carboxylated and interact very little with water at low pH, while at high pH the polymers ionize causing swelling or dissolving of the polymer.
- Coatings and films can therefore be designed to remain intact in the acidic environment of the stomach, protecting either the drug from this environment or the stomach from the drug, but to dissolve in the more alkaline environment of the intestine.
- Osmotically controlled devices such as an osmotic pump are similar to a reservoir device but contain an osmotic agent (e.g., the active agent in salt form) which acts to imbibe water from the surrounding medium via a semi-permeable membrane.
- an osmotic agent e.g., the active agent in salt form
- Such a device called an elementary osmotic pump, has been described. Pressure is generated within the device which forces the active agent out of the device via an orifice of a size designed to minimize solute diffusion, while preventing the build-up of a hydrostatic pressure head which can have the effect of decreasing the osmotic pressure and changing the dimensions of the device.
- Monolithic devices have been prepared using polyelectrolyte gels which swell when, for example, an external electrical stimulus is applied causing a change in pH. The release may be modulated by changes in the applied current to produce a constant or pulsatile release profile.
- hydrogels find use in a number of biomedical applications such as, for example, soft contact lenses, and various soft implants, and the like.
- a method for treating a patient in need of platelet aggregation inhibition therapy comprising the step of administering a therapeutically effective amount of the composition of the present invention in solid oral dosage form.
- Advantages of the method of the present invention include a reduction in the dosing frequency required by conventional multiple IR dosage regimes while still maintaining the benefits derived from a pulsatile plasma profile or eliminating or minimizing the variations in plasma concentration levels. This reduced dosing frequency is advantageous in terms of patient compliance and the reduction in dosage frequency made possible by the method of the present invention would contribute to controlling health care costs by reducing the amount of time spent by health care workers on the administration of drugs.
- purified water refers to water that has been purified by passing it through a water filtration system. It is to be understood that the examples are for illustrative purposes only, and should not be interpreted as restricting the spirit and breadth of the invention as defined by the scope of the claims that follow.
- a multiparticulate modified release composition according to the present invention comprising an immediate release component and a modified release component each containing ticlopidine is prepared as follows.
- a solution of ticlopidine is prepared according to any of the formulations given in Table 1.
- the ticlopidine solution is then coated onto nonpareil seeds to a level of approximately 16.9% solids weight gain using, for example, a Glatt GPCG3 (Glatt, Protech Ltd., Leicester, UK) fluid bed coating apparatus to form the IR particles of the immediate release component.
- Glatt GPCG3 Glatt, Protech Ltd., Leicester, UK
- Delayed release particles containing ticlopidine are prepared by coating immediate release particles prepared according to Example l(a) above with a modified release coating solution as detailed in Table 2.
- the immediate release particles are coated to varying levels up to approximately to 30% weight gain using, for example, a fluid bed apparatus.
- a multiparticulate modified release composition according to the present invention comprising an immediate release component and a modified release component comprising a modified release matrix material is prepared according to the formulations shown in Table 3 (a) and (b).
- IR component 100 mg is encapsulated with 100 mg of modified release (MR) component to give a 20 mg dosage strength product
- IR component 50 mg is encapsulated with 50 mg of modified release (MR) component to give a 20 mg dosage strength product.
- MR modified release
