- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition in dry powder form comprising formoterol and mometasone and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives as active agents so as to be used in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases especially in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the delivery of this pharmaceutical composition.
- a pharmaceutical composition in dry powder form comprising formoterol and mometasone and/or their pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives as active agents so as to be used in the treatment of respiratory tract diseases especially in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and the delivery of this pharmaceutical composition.
- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Formoterol which has the chemical name (+/-)-2-Hidroksi-5-((RS))-l-hidroksi-2- ⁇ ((RS)-p- metoksi-alfametilfenil)amino ⁇ etil)-formanilid, is a long-acting broncodilator.
- Formoterol and its pharmaceutically acceptable, nontoxic salts were first disclosed in the patent numbered US 3994974 by Yamanouchi in 1973. The original drug containing formoterol alone belongs to Novartis under the name Foradil.
- the molecules which are generally known as p 2 -adrenergic agonists in pharmacology including formoterol present local effects and they lead to open the bronchia by causing relaxation of smooth muscles around the air vessels. With the help of this property, these drugs are used in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). The effect of these drugs, which starts in several minutes following the inhalation, is still evident after 12 hours.
- COPD chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder
- Mometasone furoate which has the chemical name (11 ⁇ , 16a)-9,21-dikloro-17-[(2- furanilkarborul)oksi]-l l-bidroksi-16-metil-pregna-l, is an anti-flammatory corticosteroid.
- the molecule mometasone furoate was first disclosed in the patent numbered US4472393.
- the original product containing mometasone is Asmanex Twisthaler which belongs to Schering-Plough.
- Another group of drugs including mometasone which is commonly used in the treatment of asthma and COPD are known as corticosteroids in pharmacology.
- the molecules included in this group lead to open the airways by controlling inflammation that underlie asthma and reducing mucus secretion, and therefore eliminate the complications of the patients suffering from asthma.
- they In the case of systemic intake of the drugs in this group, they cause very serious side effects such as osteoporosis, high cholesterol, edema, headache, weight gain, sleeping disorders, various skin problems and growth retardation in children. Therefore, the administration methods in which the least possible amount of the drug enters the systemic circulation are preferred.
- This type of molecules are administered by the inhalation route in the treatment of asthma to reduce the side effects and to convey the highest possible dose to the lungs.
- the drugs containing 2-agonist have the potential to trigger respiratory disorders.
- the administration methods which enable to convey the therapeutic drugs rapidly and directly to the target area; to show the desired effect at lower doses and therefore to alleviate and/or eliminate the side effects are preferred in the transmission of the drugs that show therapeutic effects in body. Taking the very serious side effects of systemic intake of corticosteroids into consideration, it is seen how important it is to transmit this combination effectively.
- One of the problems that is mostly emphasized in the prior art is the development of these transmission methods and devices.
- combination drugs in the treatment of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD is very effective particularly in decreasing asthma attacks. It is possible that the severity or occurrence possibility of the abovementioned side effects decreases as the active substances that are used in combinations are more effective at lower doses compared to the active substances used alone However, decreasing the side effects that arise from the active agents is not sufficient to provide an effective treatment for respiratory diseases.
- Medicaments used in the formulations should be selected in a way to give the best combination and furthermore they should be in the most stable form. Moreover, the compositions comprising them should be formulated in such a way that the composition is stable and also it reaches to the target area in the most efficient way.

- a combination comprising formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate in dry powder form provides the most stable and therapeutically beneficial combination for simultaneous or sequential aclministration in the prevention or treatment of respiratory diseases.
- the amount of active agents used in the composition is carefully adjusted in order to prevent side effects that might arise from these agents and it was seen that the adhesive force between the particles forming the composition is reduced and hence, the amount of inhaled particles and efficacy of the formulation increases in addition to observing minimum side effects, when formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate present in the composition is used in an amount that the ratio of formoterol fumarate to mometasone froate is in the range of 1 : 15 to 1 :95 by weight.
- the particle size of the agents should be adjusted. Although large particle size provides ease in the manufacture of the dry powder, it may accumulate in throat and lead to insufficient intake of the medicament. Very fine particles on the other hand, may reach the lungs. However, they might not have a good flow property which in turn causes problems in providing dose accuracy. To prevent these problems, the active agents should have an optimum average particle size. Inventors have found that formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate combination wherein the mean particle size of the active agents is in the range of 1.5 to 4.5 ⁇ reaches lungs effectively and also no problems related to flow properties of the dry powder are observed.
- the term "mean particle size" refers to particles wherein the size of 50% of the total number of particles is less than the average particle size.
- present invention is related to dry powder formulations comprising a combination of formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate in dry powder form wherein formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate is present in the composition in an amount such that the ratio of formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate is in the range of 1 : 15 to 1 : 95 by weight and wherein the mean particle size of the active agents (i.e. formoterol fumarateand mometasone froate) is in the range of 1.5 to 4.5 ⁇ .
- the drug comprising formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate may also contain effective amounts of excipients and/or additional agents apart from active agents.
- the dry powder formulation containing formoterol fumarate and mometasone froate is transmitted to the patient in dry powder form.
- Said dry powder formulations also contain some physiologically acceptable excipients along with the active agent.
- excipients can be monosaccharides (glucose, etc.), disaccharides (lactose, saccharose, maltose, etc.), oligosaccharides and polysaccharides (dextran, etc.), polyalcohols (sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, etc.), salts (sodium chloride, calcium carbonate, etc.) or a mixture thereof.

- the lid and the base sheets of said blister pack constituted by the blisters having the specified properties, in which the drug in dry powder form pertaining to the present invention is stored, are closed very tightly by any suitable method to provide impermeability.
- the lid and the base sheets constituting the blister package consist of several layers.
- Polymeric layers, aluminum foil and preferably Aclar® fluoropoylmer film are among the layers that form the lid and the base sheet.
- Aclar® fluoropolymer film is a polymeric film which is used in blister packs and provides excellent moisture barrier. This chemically inert polymeric film does not cause any change in the taste of the formulation when it is in contact with the dry powder formulation. In addition, it easily constitutes a layered structure with the other polymeric layers which are composed of various polymers. It is appropriate to be transacted with heat.
- desiccant agents are added to the polymeric layers to preserve the stability of the dry powder formulation stored in blisters that are arranged in an order on the blister package.
- Silica gel, zeolite, alumina, bauxite, anhydrous calcium sulfate, activated carbon and clay which have the property of water absorption can be given as examples to desiccant agents.
- aluminum in lid and base sheets of high protection blister packs aluminum is used both in the lid and the base sheets of the blister pack of the present invention in order to provide high moisture and gas protection.

- the blisters which constitute the blister pack in which the dry powder drug pertaining to the present invention is stored can be in any shape as long as they have the properties described above.
- the dry powder particles Due to the electrostatic interactions between the dry powder particles and the inside layer of the blister cavity or the capsule material which is in contact with the dry powder formulation, the dry powder particles mainly adhere to said inside layer of the blister cavity or said capsule material. Since some uninhaled dry powder formulation is remained in the blister cavity or the capsule during inhalation, sufficient amount of the dry powder formulation for an effective therapy cannot reach to the lungs. Therefore, the inside layer of the blister cavity or the capsule material that is in contact with the dry powder formulation is an antistatic material.
- antistatic material refers to a material which eliminates the buildup of static electricity.
- the antistatic material used herein encloses a material which is antistatic itself or which is not antistatic itself but contains antistatic agent(s).
- an antistatic agent is used for treatment of the layer or their surfaces in order to reduce or eliminate the buildup of static electricity generally caused by the triboelectric effect (charge generation by friction). Its role is to make the surface or the material itself slightly conductive, either by being conductive itself, or by absorbing moisture from the air. Therefore, some humectants can be used.
- the molecules of an antistatic agent often have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic areas similar to those of a surfactant. The hydrophobic side interacts with the surface of the material while the hydrophilic side interacts with the air moisture and binds the water molecules.
- Antistatic agents are basically classified into two groups: internal antistatic agents and external antistatic agents. Internal antistatic agents are designed to be mixed directly into the material whereas external antistatic agents are applied to the surface.
- Antistatic agents used within the scope of the invention are selected from a group comprising long-chain aliphatic amines (optionally ethoxylated) and amides, glycerol monostearate (GMS), saturated fatty acids, (poly)unsaturated fatty acids, quaternary ammonium salts (e.g., behentrimonium chloride or cocamidopropyl betaine), sulfonated organic compounds, esters of phosphoric acid, polyethylene glycol esters, or polyols and combinations thereof. Also, some commercialy available antistatic additives such as OnCap , Larostat ®, Entira , Nourymix®, can be used as antistatic agents.
- conductive polymers like PEDOT:PSS and conducting polymer nanofibers, particularly polyaniline nanofibers.
- Processing conditions, polymer base, relative humidity of the environment, material thickness and active agents used in the dry powder formulation play an important role in selecting the most appropriate antistatic agent.
- the bloom rate (the rate of migration of the antistatic agent to the surface) varies greatly among the antistatic agent choices.
- the antistatic agents in the material which is the inside layer of the blister cavity or capsule material, are present in a range from 0,1% to 5% by weight of said material.
