Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a micro- or nano-scale therapeutic agent for use in the treatment of infections of humans or animals.
  • Such an infection may be a systemic or a topical infection.
  • Antibiotic resistance particularly the emergence of widespread multiple drug resistant infections, poses a catastrophic risk to human health and involves substantial costs. Novel approaches to combat infection are therefore urgently required.
  • a nano- or micro- scale therapeutic agent comprising micro- and/or nano-particle carriers loaded singly or in combination with one or more inert precursor chemical or chemicals, the carriers encapsulating the precursor chemical or chemicals which after release from the carrier in situ at the site of an infection are activatable by the physiological milieu to form an antimicrobial agent for use in the treatment of said infection of a human or animal.
  • the precursor chemical or chemicals form an oxidative biocide on activation.
  • Highly oxidative molecules exert a powerful biocidal effect on microorganisms by inflicting massive and widely disseminated damage to the bacterial cell owing to the high energy transfer capability of these molecules. Therefore resistance to these chemicals is rare.
  • Examples of such molecules would be ozone, hypochlorous acid, sodium hypochlorite or hypobromite, chlorine dioxide, peracids such as peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. It is not generally practical to use these powerful chemicals for therapeutic purposes but when the encapsulated precursor chemical or chemicals are delivered in micro- and/or nano-particles directly to the target infecting organism production of these chemicals does not occur until the precursor chemical or chemicals are activated in situ at the site of an infection, for example by contact with body fluids.
  • the precursor chemical or chemicals preferably comprise one or more peroxygen donors that on release are activated to form hydrogen peroxide.
  • release of the precursor chemical or chemicals occurs when the carrier bursts, degrades or changes its porosity in situ, which may be within or, in the case of a topical use, on the body of the human or animal host.
  • the carrier degrades via hydrolysis over time to provide a controlled release of the precursor chemical or chemicals.
  • micro- and/or nano-particle carriers for use in the present invention are micelles, dendrimers, buckyballs, liposomes, ethosomes, mesoporous silica and nano-carbon tubes, all of which are capable of encapsulating other chemicals.
  • the carrier is in the form of micro- and/or nano-particles that have been manufactured using a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process.
  • TIPS thermally induced phase separation
  • the carrier is biodegradable within the body of the host to produce harmless by-products
  • the carrier is comprised of a biodegradable polymer such as poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) that can be used to produce micro- and/or nano-particles encapsulating the precursor chemicals by a TIPS process.
  • PLGA poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid)
  • PLGA is a copolymer that is synthesized by means of ring-opening co- polymerization of two different monomers, the cyclic dimers (1,4-dioxane- 2,5-diones) of glycolic acid and lactic acid. It undergoes hydrolysis in vivo to produce the original monomers, lactic acid and glycolic acid, which under normal physiological conditions are by-products of various metabolic pathways in the body. Hence, there is minimal systemic toxicity associated with using PLGA for the purpose of the present invention.
  • the precursor chemicals also comprise one or more acetyl donors that on release react with the hydrogen peroxide produced by the peroxygen donor to produce a mixture of peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide.
  • the acetyl donor or donors may be encapsulated within the same carrier particles as the peroxygen donor.
  • the therapeutic agent of the invention comprises micro- and/ or nano-particle carriers wherein at least a proportion of them each encapsulate both a peroxygen donor and an acetyl donor.
  • the acetyl donor is encapsulated within its own micro- and/or nano-particle carriers and the therapeutic agent of the invention comprises a combination of micro- and/or nano-particle carriers that individually encapsulate either the peroxygen donor or donors or the acetyl donor or donors.
  • Hydrogen peroxide is widely used in endodontics, in the treatment of periodontitis and as an antiseptic for wounds and mucous membranes. Dilute solutions of hypochlorous acid have been advocated for topical disinfection and peracetic acid has been widely used in dairy hygiene as a pre- and post- milking teat disinfectant.
  • the present invention overcomes this problem by encapsulating the precursor chemicals in a carrier whereby the antimicrobial agent is only created after the carrier has reached the target and released the precursor chemicals, which are then activated on contact with the target by the physiological milieu, for example by contact with body fluids.
  • the use of an inert precursor chemical that can be activated in situ overcomes problems of stability and safety for the active antimicrobial agent.
  • a combination of a peroxygen donor with an acetyl donor is used to produce dynamic equilibrium mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and peracetic acid.
  • the peroxygen donor preferably comprises any or a combination of the chemicals in the following List A.
  • Potassium peroxymonosulphate Any or a combination of sodium percarbonate, potassium percarbonate, ammonium percarbonate, sodium perborate, ammonium perborate, ammonium persulphate and urea peroxide from List A are particularly preferred.
  • the acetyl donor preferably comprises any or a combination of the chemicals in the following List B.
  • DADHT Diacetyl dioxohexahydratriazine
  • N'N'-Diacetyl-N'N'-dimethyl urea N'N'-Diacetyl-N'N'-dimethyl urea.
  • TAED tetraacetylethylenediamine
  • the choice of the peroxygen and acetyl donors is dependent on the physiological milieu to be encountered during use of the therapeutic agent. Those that degrade to produce substances that are either naturally occurring or well tolerated within the body being preferred for in vivo use but others may be appropriate for use externally, for example in the topical treatment of skin infections or for use within a void, fissure or lumen.
  • the carrier may comprise micro-particles, nano- particles or a mixture of the two.
  • micro- particles are particles of any shape with dimensions in the ⁇ ⁇ lc ? m and ⁇ ⁇ 10-4 rn range
  • nano-particles are particles of any shape with dimensions in the l x io-9 m to ⁇ x lcr? m range.
  • Particle size and size distribution are the most important characteristics of micro- and nano- particle systems. They determine the in vivo distribution, biological fate, toxicity and the targeting ability of the carrier. In addition, they can also influence the drug loading, drug release and stability of the carrier.
  • Nano- particles of sub-micron size have a number of advantages over micro- particles as drug carriers as they have a relatively higher intracellular uptake compared to micro-particles and are available to a wider range of biological targets owing to their small size and relative mobility.
  • micro-particles may be selected and prove more advantageous for use than nano-particles.
  • Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) - based particles can be produced over a size range from around 20 x ⁇ ⁇ 3 ⁇ diameter up to micron sizes. The production of such particles is known and described, for example, in WO2008/155558.
  • the method of manufacture of these particles can be used to manipulate their properties such as porosity, payload efficiency and drug release profile. This makes them particularly suited to being the carrier in this invention. Loading of these particles with the precursor chemical can be achieved by known techniques either during the particle fabrication process or afterwards.

  • Fig. 6 is a graph showing the mean pH over time of samples of ultrapure water containing a concentration of 20 mg of the particles shown in Figs. 3 and 4 per 1 ml water at 23°C.
  • therapeutic agents in accordance with the present invention are produced from PLGA solutions containing the active precursor chemicals by a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process.
  • TIPS thermally induced phase separation
  • the TIPS process begins with production of a PLGA solution at a high temperature in order to generate a homogenous solution.
  • the precursor chemical is dissolved in a suitable solvent and is then blended into the PLGA solution.
  • the removal of thermal energy by rapid cooling below a biomodal solubility curve using another immiscible cooling liquid induces the phase de-mixing of the homogenous PLGA solution into a multi-phase system containing a PLGA-rich phase and PLGA-lean phase.
  • the phase separated PLGA solution is subsequently treated by freeze-drying to remove the solvents, generating the micro- and/or nano-particles of the invention.
  • poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) for example that sold under the registered trade mark PURASORB® PDLG IV o.68dl/g by Corbion Group Netherlands BV
  • PURASORB® PDLG IV o.68dl/g by Corbion Group Netherlands BV
  • the sodium percarbonate was dissolved in ultrapure water at 100 mg/ml by vortexing and then by being allowed to stand for 24 hours. Thereafter, 833 ⁇ of the sodium percarbonate solution was added to 7.5 ml of the PLGA solution in a capped 10 ml glass vial before mixing by vortexing.
  • TIPS micro- and nano-particles were then prepared using a conventional microencapsulator, for example an Encapsulator VAR-D unit as manufactured by Nisco Engineering AG.
  • the particles produced were collected in liquid nitrogen before being transferred to a freeze-drier for lyophilisation.
  • the resulting particles are as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
  • a similar method was also used to produce micro- and nano-particles that encapsulate urea hydrogen peroxide except that urea hydrogen peroxide was used in place of the sodium percarbonate and was dissolved in methanol at loo mg/ml.
  • the resulting particles are as shown in Figs. 3 and 4.
  • the aforesaid methods produced micro- and nano-particles with a loading concentration of 278 mg of the relevant precursor chemical per g PLGA . It is expected that higher concentrations up to approximately double this amount are also achievable if necessary.
  • the micro- and nano-particles produced have a rugose and porous surface typical of TIPS particles.
  • the surface of both sets of particles show deposits of amorphous material that is most likely to comprise the loaded precursor chemical active ingredient.
  • a large pore was also visible on the surface of many of the micro-particles, which is also a characteristic feature of TIPS micro- and nano-particles.
  • the precursor chemical is also encapsulated by the PLGA carrier, which is contained within the particles in a dry form, the solvents having been removed by the freeze- drying. It is desirable that the solvents used in the manufacturing process are removed or only minimally present as they can increase the toxicity of the particles.
  • the precursor chemicals were encapsulated in solution their stability over time would be compromised.
  • the TIPS preparation method tends to minimise and even eliminate solvent residues and also has the advantage of giving a greater control over porosity of the micro- and nano-particles, which also determines the controlled release time of the precursor chemical from the particle.
  • Micro- and nano-particles encapsulating a TAED acetyl donor using acetonitrile as a solvent for the TAED may also be prepared by a similar TIPS process. Release of the precursor chemical from the micro- and nano-particles was also investigated to simulate its potential efficacy when in use in the treatment of infections of humans or animals.
  • the particles encapsulating sodium percarbonate and urea hydrogen peroxide described above were both used to test their capability in producing a change in pH of ultrapure water with an initial pH of 6.01 over a seven day test period.
  • Samples of the particles were each placed into 2 ml polypropylene screw-cap microtubes and the ultrapure water was added to produce a final concentration of 20 mg micro- and nano-particles per 1 ml water.
  • the particles were mixed by vortexing for 10 seconds before being incubated at 23°C.
  • the pH of the samples was measured at pre-determined intervals. Each measurement was recorded after a pH electrode had been inserted into the sample for 2 minutes. The results are shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the measurements being derived from four replicate samples with mean data being plotted showing standard error of mean.
  • the change in pH observed following incubation of the particles indicates that the precursor chemicals are capable of sustained release from the particles to produce a therapeutic agent in accordance with the invention over a prolonged period as the particles degrade.
  • the release occurs as the encapsulating polymer degrades, which in the case of a PLGA polymer is via hydrolysis. It is expect that the release kinetics (rate and duration) can be modified by adjusting the composition of the polymer used to manufacture the micro- and nano-particles.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of polyQactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) - based micro- and nano-particles. Micro- and nano-particles using a variety of synthetic and natural polymers may be utilised.
  • polymers examples include poly(allylamine)hydrochloride, poly(diallylmethylammonium chloride), polyethylenimine (PEI), polyvinyl pyrollidone, poly L ornithine, poly L arginine, protamines, chitosan, alginates, polystyrene sulphonate, poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), polyvinylsulfonate, poly phosphoric acid, poly L glutamic acid, alginates, and dextran sulphate.
  • Nanomicellular carriers may also be made, for example, from polyethylene oxide/polypropylene oxide diblock and triblock copolymers, phospholipid or other surface active agents. Such carriers may be used in place or in addition to other micro- or nano-particle carriers.
  • the carriers may also be treated with secondary processes such as treatment with polyethylene glycol, usually styled PEGylation, to protect the particle in the physiological milieu and, for example, to give extended circulation time in the bloodstream.
  • the carriers may be treated with targeting ligands in order to provide enhanced target specificity.
  • the carriers may be targeted by a biosensor such as a monoclonal antibody.
  • Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) - based nano-particle carriers having a diameter of 200 x io ⁇ 3 ⁇ loaded with 10% of sodium percarbonate.
  • Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) - based nano-particle carriers having diameters in a range between 20 x 10-3 ⁇ and 100 x icr3 ⁇ inclusive loaded with sodium percarbonate to a loading efficiency of 80%.
