FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[002| This disclosure pertains to new molecular complexes of zoledronic acid suitable for drug delivery as well as methods for their preparation and pharmaceutical compositions.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[003] Zoledronic acid is known as (l-hydroxy-2-imidazol-l-yl-l-phosphono-ethyl)phosphonic acid. Zoledronic acid is depicted by the following chemical structure:
Figure imgf000002_0001
Zoledronic acid is a third generation bisphosphonate which far exceeds the previous generations in terms of efficacy and is used predominately for indications of osteoporosis or tumor induced hypercalcemia (TIH). It was originally developed by Novartis and marketed in a monohydrate form under the Zometa® and Reclast® brand names. Zoledronic acid was first approved in 2000 for the treatment of TIH in Canada. It was later approved for use in the US in 2001 for indications of TIH and in 2007 for osteoporosis and Paget' s disease. Clinical trials have also been conducted or are on-going exploring the use of zoledronic acid in neoadjuvant or adjuvant cancer therapy, Coleman, et al., British J Cancer 2010; 102(7): 1099-1 105, Gnant, et al., New England J Medicine. 2009, 360 (17):679-691 and Davies, et al. J Clinical Oncology, 2010, 28(7s): Abstract 8021. Zoledronic acid is administered as an intravenous (IV) dose of 4 mg over 15 minutes for TlH and 5 mg over 15 minutes for osteoporosis. [0041 Zoledronic acid is sparingly soluble in water and 0.1 N HCl solution but is freely soluble in 0.1 N NaOH. Zoledronic acid is practically insoluble in many organic solvents.
[005] Various efforts have been taken to generate novel oral formulations of zoledronic acid through crystallization and metal salt formation to improve its aqueous solubility, permeability, and subsequent oral bioavailability. A crystalline trihydrate was disclosed in U.S. Patent application 2006/0178439 Al and world patent application WO2007/032808. Seven hydrated forms, an amorphous form, three monosodium salts, and eleven disodium salts with varying degrees of hydration of zoledronic acid were also disclosed in the world patent application WO2005/005447 A2. Zoledronate metal salts including Na+, Mg2+, Zn2+ were reported in the monthly issued journal Drugs of the Future (Sorbera et al, 25(3), Drugs of the Future, (2000)). Zoledronate, zoledronic, or zoledronic salt represents the ionic form of zoledronic acid. A recently filed patent application (WO2008/064849 Al) from Novartis disclosed additional metal salts including two Ca2+ salts, two Zn2+ salts, one Mg2+ salt, as well as a mono and trihydrate, an amorphous form, and an anhydrous form.
[006] The low oral bioavailability of zoledronic acid, which is <1% of the oral dose, can be attributed to poor permeability in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It was also noted that insoluble metal complexes were formed in the upper intestines, most commonly with calcium. Zoledronic acid has also been shown to cause severe GI irritation both in the stomach and in the intestines. In some cases the irritation was so severe that medical treatment was required. Recent activity concerning the development of oral formulations has led to the use of medium chain fatty acids to enhance the drug's low permeability as disclosed in the US 2007/0134319 Al and US 2007/0196464 patent applications. Modified amino acid carriers, but not pure proteinogenic amino acids, have also been employed to improve the absorption of the drug as shown in the WO 2007/093226 Al application.
[007] In general, sparingly water soluble, provides substantial challenges for drug development of parenteral formulations due to the amount of solvent needed to dissolve the drug which could render it more suitable for infusion. Typically, the greater the volume needed to be administered parenterally to a patient, the longer the infusion time, the higher the likelihood of a vehicle- related adverse effect, the more expensive the product, and the less likelihood that the formulation will be found acceptable by the patient. By improving the aqueous solubility of the drug the volume of solvent needed for reconstitution can therefore be dramatically reduced rendering it suitable for injection rather than infusion.
[008] Due to the fact that zoledronic acid is only available as a parenteral dosage form (infusion over at least 15 minutes) there is a clear need to develop novel forms of zoledronic acid that can be included in an oral dosage form particularly as the use of orally administered drugs are becoming more wide spread in many therapeutic areas including the treatment of cancer. The upward trend in the use of oral drugs will continue especially in light of the goal to decrease the overall cost of healthcare. Thus, there is an opportunity to create oral dosage forms of IV drugs only where oral dosage forms do not yet exist due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or poor permeability providing a clear clinical benefit for patients. In addition, opportunity is also provided to improve the solubility of sparingly water soluble drugs by creating molecular complexes of such drugs with standard (proteinogenic) amino acids that can subsequently be incorporated in dosage forms for a variety of drug delivery systems.
[009] The development of oral fonns of zoledronic acid to enhance the aqueous solubility or permeability has thus far been problematic. However, by using the novel approach of generating molecular complexes of zoledronic acid with standard amino acids there is an opportunity provided to improve the solubility and/or permeability resulting in a new dosage form suitable administration to humans.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[010] The present disclosure is directed towards generating new molecular complexes of zoledronic acid that have the therapeutic efficacy of zoledronic acid but also improved aqueous solubility, rate of dissolution, and improved bioavailability. One aspect of the present disclosure relates to novel molecular complexes of zoledronic acid. In addition, the disclosure further includes methods for the preparation of such complexes. The disclosure further includes compositions of molecular complexes of zoledronic acid suitable for incorporation in a pharmaceutical dosage form. Specific molecular complexes pertaining to the disclosure include, but are not limited to, complexes of zoledronic acid with nicotinamide, adenine, glycine, and optical isomers of asparagine, histidine, argenine, and proline; D or L-asparagine, DL- asparagine, D or L-histidine, DL-histidine, D or L-arginine, DL-arginine, D or L-proline and DL- proline. Variants of the disclosed zoledronic acid forms in the text, including those described by the examples, will be readily apparent to the person of ordinary skill in the art having the present disclosure, and such variants are considered to be a part of the current invention.
[Oil] The foregoing and other features and advantages of the disclosed technology will become more apparent from the following detailed description. Such description is meant to be illustrative, and not limiting, of the invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0121 In general, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in pharmaceutical compositions can be prepared in a variety of different forms. Such compounds can be prepared so as to have a variety of different chemical forms including chemical derivatives, solvates, hydrates, cocrystal salts, etc. The API can also have different physical forms. For example, they may be amorphous or they may have different crystalline polymorphs or may exist in different solvated or hydrated states. The discovery of new forms of an API may provide the opportunity to improve the pharmacokinetic performance of a pharmaceutical product. Additionally, pharmaceutical cocrystallization can expand the array of resources available for designing, for example, a pharmaceutical dosage form of a drug with a targeted release profile or other desired
characteristics.
[013] The physical form of the API has been shown to have a substantial impact upon its physicochemical properties. For example, crystalline polymorphs typically have different aqueous solubility from one another, such that a more thermodynamically stable polymorph is less soluble than a less thermodynamically stable polymorph. In addition to water solubility, pharmaceutical polymorphs can also differ in properties such as rate of dissolution, shelf-life, bioavailability, morphology, vapor pressure, density, color, and compressibility. Accordingly, it is desirable to enhance the properties of an API by forming molecular complexes with respect to aqueous solubility, rate of dissolution, bioavailability, Cmax, Tmax, physicochemical stability, down-stream processibility (e.g. flowability compressibility, degree of brittleness, particle size manipulation), crystallization of amorphous compounds, decrease in polymorphic form diversity, toxicity, taste, production costs, and manufacturing methods.
[014] During the development of drugs for oral delivery, it is frequently advantageous to have novel forms of such drug materials that possess improved properties, including increased aqueous solubility and stability. It is also desirable in general to increase the dissolution rate of such solid forms, and potentially increase their bioavailability. This also applies to the development of novel forms of zoledronic acid which, when administered orally to a subject could achieve greater or similar bioavailabilities and pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles when compared to an IV or other formulations on a dose-for-dose basis.
[015] Novel solution complexes of zoledronic acid in the present invention could give rise to improved properties of zoledronic acid. For example, a new form of zoledronic acid is particularly advantageous if it can improve the aqueous solubility and subsequent bioavailability of orally delivered zoledronic acid. A number of novel zoledronic acid forms have been synthesized, characterized, and disclosed herein. The aqueous solubility of zoledronic acid is low but has been dramatically increased in this invention up to greater than 350mg/ml through creating new molecular complexes with cocrystal formers including such as nicotinamide, amino acids, and in particular with adenine, glycine, L-asparagine, DL-asparagine, L-histidine, DL- histidine, L-arginine, DL-arginine, L-proline, DL-proline. The techniques and approaches set forth in the present disclosure can further be used by the person of ordinary skill in the art to prepare obvious variants thereof, said variants are considered to be part of the inventive disclosure.
[016] Accordingly, a first aspect of the present invention includes aqueous solution complexes of zoledronic acid with amino acids, including but not limited to adenine, glycine, and optical isomers of asparagine, histidine, argenine and proline. Preferred amino acids include but are not limited to nicotinamide, adenine, glycine, L-asparagine, DL-asparagine, L-histidine, DL- histidine, L-arginine, DL-arginine, L-proline, and DL-proline suitable for coformulation in an oral dosage form, as a solution, suspension, or a solution in capsules ether incorporated in a gel structure or polymer matrix. These pharmaceutical formulations contain a therapeutically effective amount of at least one solution complex of zoledronic acid according to the invention and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, (also known in the art as a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient). The novel molecular complexes of zoledronic acid are therapeutically useful for the treatment and/or prevention of disease states associated with osteoporosis, tumor induced hypercalcemia (TIH), or Paget's disease as discussed above. Accordingly, the invention also relates to methods of treatment using novel molecular complexes of zoledronic acid of the invention or a pharmaceutical formulation containing them. The pharmaceutical formulations generally contain about 1% to about 99% by weight of at least one novel molecular complex of zoledronic acid of the invention and 99% to 1% by weight of a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.
[017] Another aspect of the invention includes improving the aqueous solubility of zoledronic acid to greater than 350mg/ml, through creating new molecular complexes with L- and DL- histidine.
[018] Another aspect of the invention includes improving the aqueous solubility of zoledronic acid to greater than 235mg/ml, through creating new molecular complexes with L- and DL- arginine.
[019] Another aspect of the invention includes improving the aqueous solubility of zoledronic acid to greater than 50mg/ml, through creating new molecular complexes with L- and DL- asparagine.
[020] Another aspect of the invention where the solution complexes of zoledronic acid with amino acids. Solution complexes of zoledronic acid and optical isomers of asparagine, histidine, arginine and proline; L-asparagine, DL-asparagine, L-histidine, DL-histidine, L-arginine, DL- arginine, L-proline, and DL-proline were physically stable and did not form any suspension or create precipitates when examined by the naked eye after being left standing at room temperature on the bench in screw cap vials for one year.
[021] Another aspect of the invention provides complexes of zoledronic acid and optical isomers of asparagine, histidine, arginine and proline; L-asparagine, DL-asparagine, L-lysine,
DL-lysine, nicotinamide, adenine, glycine, L-histidine, DL-histidine, L-arginine, DL-arginine, L- proline, and DL-proline suitable for a pharmaceutical formulation than can be delivered parenterally to the human body.
[022] Another aspect of the invention provides a method for increasing the aqueous solubility of a bisphosphonic acid or bisphosphonates by dissolving a bisphosphonic acid or
bisphosphonate in an aqueous solvent in the presence of an amino acid such as those discussed above.
