Abstract

The present invention relates to stabile montelukast formulations with improved flow characteristics which are produced without causing incompatibility with excipients; and combinations of these formulations with at least one other active agent.

Description

IMPROVED MONTELUKAST COMBINATIONS
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations designed to remove negative effects of excipients, which are used in the formulations comprising montelukast and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one other active agent, on the active agent.
Montelukast (Formula I) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist which was firstly disclosed in the patent numbered EP480717 Al:
Figure imgf000002_0001
Formula (I) Montelukast is an orally used, strong and selective antagonist of leukotriene D4 (LTD4) which is effective on cysteinyl leukotriene receptor (CysLT]) in the respiratory tract. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) are strong inflammatory eicosanoids released from various cells including mast cells and eosinophils. These important pro-asthmatic mediators bind to cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT) receptors located in the respiratory tract and lead to a series of respiratory tract activities such as bronchoconstriction, intensive mucus secretion, vascular permeability and accumulation of eosinophils.
However, the active agent montelukast is highly incompatible with excipients used in pharmaceutical formulations. This incompatibility induces fast disintegrations in the end product. The most important impurity generated with the disintegration of montelukast sodium is sulfoxide impurity illustrated in the following formula (II):
Figure imgf000003_0001
Formula (II)
This sulfoxide impurity appears when the sulphide group in montelukast sodium is oxidized to sulfoxide group and it is not in an active form. However, its presence reduces the effective dose of montelukast sodium in the treatment and therefore it reduces the efficiency of the treatment.
In the prior art, stabile formulations comprising excipients which are used in montelukast formulations and do not cause stability or incompatibility problems with the active agent have been designed. For instance, the patent application numbered WO/2010/041277 discloses tablet formulations which comprise montelukast, microcrystalline cellulose and a flavoring agent together with magnesium stearate.
The application WO/2007/092031 discloses pharmaceutical compositions of montelukast which do not comprise microcrystalline cellulose. In this application, magnesium stearate is used as lubricant.
Montelukast sodium is currently marketed in chewable tablet, film coated tablet and pediatric granule form under the trade name Singulair®. Film coated Singulair® formulations comprise microcrystalline cellulose, lactose monohydrate, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose as excipient; and magnesium stearate as lubricant. However, the inventors have seen that use of magnesium stearate as a lubricant in the production of montelukast sodium formulations leads to incompatibility in the pharmaceutical composition and also the rate of sulfoxide impurity is higher than expected.
Use of magnesium stearate results in faster degradation of montelukast sodium, which is considerably susceptible to and highly incompatible with pharmaceutical excipients, than expected. In addition, use of magnesium stearate as a lubricant in formulations does not provide sufficient flow to formulations; therefore, the formulations produced adhere to metal members through the production line. This kind of adhesion problem causes loss of active ingredient and thus, reduction of bioavailability. The inventors have developed new formulations by using a pharmaceutically acceptable lubricant or lubricant combinations which would not cause incompatibility and degradation in order to provide sufficient fluidity in montelukast formulations. The said formulations are also convenient to use with at least one other active agent.
Detailed Description of the Invention The present invention relates to stabile montelukast formulations with improved flow characteristics which are produced without causing incompatibility with excipients; and combinations of these formulations with at least one other active agent.
In the formulations produced according to the invention, it has been seen that use of a lubricant selected from a group comprising silicone oil, siliconized talc or liquid paraffin or binary or ternary combinations thereof does not cause any incompatibility and/or degradation in the formulations.
HPLC measurements which were taken after the montelukast formulations of the present invention were kept under accelerated storage conditions have indicated that sulfoxide impurity is below 0.6% in the formulations. The term "accelerated storage conditions" used herein refers to storage of formulations at 60% of relative humidity and at 45 °C for 4 weeks.
In addition, use of a lubricant selected from a group comprising silicone oil, siliconized talc or liquid paraffin or binary or ternary combinations thereof prevented adhesion to the machines during the process and minimized active agent loss. The lubricants used formed a considerably smooth film layer on montelukast particles and thus provided to improve flow characteristics.
The amount of the lubricant selected from a group comprising silicone oil, siliconized talc or liquid paraffin or binary or ternary combinations thereof which is used as lubricant in the formulations of the present invention is in the range of 0.1 to 10 % by weight, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5 % by weight, more preferably in the range of 2 to 5 % by weight. The term "montelukast" used throughout the text refers to montelukast or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt, solvate, derivative, polymorph, hydrate or enantiomer or a combination thereof. Preferably, montelukast is used in sodium salt form in the formulations of the present invention. Montelukast sodium used in the formulations of the present invention is in the range of 1 to 30%, preferably in the range of 1 to 20%, more preferably in the range of 1 to 10% by weight.
The term "silicone oil" used herein refers to dimethicone and/or silicone analogs of carbon based organic compounds including simethicone which is activated form of dimethicone.
Formulations of the present invention can comprise at least one other pharmaceutically acceptable lubricant in addition to these lubricants.
Other lubricants that can be used in the formulations of the present invention can be selected from the substances such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, behenic acid and/or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof; siliconized talc, simethicone, dimethicone, liquid paraffin, sodium stearyl fumarate, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium lauryl sulfate, magnesium stearate, lecithine, L-leucine, phosphatidylcholines, phosphateidylglycerides, triglycerides and the said lubricant is used in the range of 0.1 to 5% by weight in the case of using a second lubricant selected from the group stated above in addition to lubricant/lubricants used in the formulations.
Montelukast formulations of the present invention comprise at least one other pharmaceutically acceptable excipient in addition to the lubricant.
Said excipients are selected from a group comprising disintegrants, viscosity enhancing agents, filling agents, drying agents, lubricants, diluents, stabilizing agents, binders, glidants, antifoaming agents, wetting agents, effervescent combinations, sweeteners and flavoring agents. The excipients preferred in montelukast formulations of the present invention are least one binder, at least one diluent, at least one disintegrant; and the formulations can optionally comprise at least one other excipient.
The formulations of the present invention are combined with a second active agent. Nasal decongestants, leukotriene receptor antagonists, antihistaminics, antidepressants can be used as the second active agent. The second active agent used in montelukast formulations of the present invention is preferably an antihistaminic selected from a group comprising diphenhydramine, dimenhydrinate, carbinoxamine, chlorphenoxamine, mepyramine, antazoline, triple amine, dexchlorpheniramine, dexbrompheniramine, pheniramine, buclizine, hydroxyzine, cinnarizine, meclizine, alimemazine, promethazine, cyproheptadine, ebastine, astemizole, acrivastin, loratadine, desloratadine, ketotifen, cetirizine, levocetirizine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts, solvates, derivatives, polymorphs, hydrates or enantiomers thereof.
The second active agent preferred is desloratadine or a pharmaceutically acceptable derivative thereof. The second active agent in the formulations of the present invention can be used with montelukast together, in sequence or separately.
However, the two active agents are formulated together or separately and combined in a single dosage form in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
However, the inventor has seen that N-formyl desloratadine impurity which is the major degradation product formed by desloratadine degradation is out of these limits (more than 0.5% by weight) although sulphoxide impurity is at acceptable limits in the case that the formulations comprise desloratadine and montelukast sodium as active agents.
In other words, use of a lubricant selected from a group comprising silicone oil, siliconized talc or liquid paraffin or binary or ternary combinations thereof as the lubricant is not sufficient in order to obtain a stabile composition in the case that the formulations comprise desloratadine and montelukast sodium as active agents.
As a result of the studies conducted, the inventor has found that a stabile composition can be obtained by formulating the two active agents separately and by choosing the amount and type of the lubricant used in the desloratadine formulation. One characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is that the two formulations comprising the two active agents are formulated separately and compressed as bilayer tablet by being fed to tablet compression machine separately.
Another characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is that the formulations comprise desloratadine in the range of 0.1 to 10%, preferably in the range of 0.1 to 8%, more preferably in the range of 0.5 to 5 % in proportion to total weight of the formulation.
Another characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is use of a lubricant selected from a group comprising silicone oil, siliconized talc or liquid paraffin or binary or ternary combinations thereof in montelukast formulations; and use of a lubricant selected from a group comprising talc, sodium stearyl fumarate or colloidal silicone dioxide or binary or ternary combinations thereof in desloratadine formulations.
Another characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is that total lubricant amount used in desloratadine formulations is in the range of 0.5 to 10 %, preferably in the range of 0.6 to 4%, more preferably in the range of 0.7 to 3%.
The formulations of the present invention can optionally comprise the combinations of the lubricants selected from the groups given. While the said combinations can be binary combinations such as talc and sodium stearyl fumarate; talc and colloidal silicone dioxide; colloidal silicone dioxide and sodium stearyl fumarate, they can also be a ternary combination comprising talc, sodium stearyl fumarate and colloidal silicone dioxide.
In the case of using the ternary combination as lubricant in desloratadine formulations, the weight ratio of sodium stearyl fumarate : colloidal silicone dioxide : talc comprised in the formulations is in the range of 0.2:1 :5 to 20:1 :0.2, preferably in the range of 0.5: 1 :20 to 20:1 :0.5.
Another characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is that desloratadine formulations comprise at least one other pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Another characteristic of the formulations of the present invention comprising montelukast sodium and desloratadine as active agents is that the excipients used in desloratadine formulations are composed of at least one stabilizing agent, at least one disintegrant and at least one diluent.
The pharmaceutically acceptable disintegrants that can be used in the formulations of the present invention can be selected from polymers having high disintegrating characteristics, for instance cross-linked hydroxypropyl cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, polyvinylpyrrolidone, high molecular weight polymers, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, sodium starch glycolate, povidone, alginic acid, sodium alginate.
The pharmaceutically acceptable binders that can be used in the formulations of the present invention can be selected from potato starch, wheat starch or corn starch; microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose; hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone.

The pharmaceutically acceptable film coating material that can be used in the formulations of the present invention is composed of the following components and/or combinations thereof: lactose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, triacetine, titanium dioxide, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, lecithin, polyethylene glycol.
The pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizing agent and/or agents that can be used in the formulations of the present invention can be selected from antioxidants, chelating agents, alkalinizing agents and photoprotectives.
The antioxidants can be selected from substances such as butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA), sodium ascorbate, butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), sodium sulfite, gallates (such as propyl gallate), tocopherol, citric acid, malic acid, ascorbic acid, acetylcysteine, fumaric acid, lecithine, ascorbyl palmitate, ethylendiamine tetraacetate. The chelating agents can be selected from disodium EDTA, edetic acid, citric acid, sodium citrate, potassium citrate or combinations thereof. These agents prevent oxidation by surrounding and masking the metal ions which can catalyze the oxidation process.
The alkalinizing agents can be selected from alkaline metal salts such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, disodium hydrogen orthophosphate, sodium aluminate; alkaline earth metal salts such as calcium carbonate, calcium hydroxide, dibasic calcium phosphate, tribasic calcium phosphate, calcium sulphate, calcium acetate, calcium gluconate, calcium glycerophospate, calcium hydrogen phosphate dehydrate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium sulphate, magnesium acetate, magnesium silicate, magnesium aluminate; and organic compounds such as primary, secondary and tertiary amines, cyclic amines; Ν,Ν'-dibenzyl ethylenediamine, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine, monosodium glutamate, polacrilin sodium, sodium alginate.
