Description
Solid forms of amorphous empagliflozin
Technical Field
The invention relates to novel solid forms of amorphous empagliflozin of formula I, with the systematic name (2S,3R,4R,5S,6R)-2-[4-chloro-3- [[4-[(3S)-oxolan-3-yl]oxyphenyl]raethyl]- phenyl]-6-(hydroxy-methyl)oxane-3,4,5-triol, to processes for preparing the same and to use in dosage forms.

Empagliflozin is an orally administered antidiabetic, designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The mechanism of its action consists in inhibition of the sodium glucose co- transporter (SGLT2), which results in glycosuria and decrease of glycaemia. In clinical studies, administration of empagliflozin led to a decrease of glycated haemoglobin both in monotherapy and in combination with metformin, sulfonylurea, pioglitazone and insulin, which means that empagliflozin represents an effective drug especially for combination treatment of diabetes.
Background Art
Empagliflozin is first mentioned in the patent application WO2005092877, which does not mention any details of the character of the solid form of the product. A crystalline form of empagliflozin is first described in the patent application WO2006117359. It also describes preparation methods of this crystalline form by crystallization from ethyl acetate, isopropanol or an ethanol-water mixture. Then, the same crystalline form of empagliflozin is prepared in the patent application WO2011039107 by crystallization from a mixture of at least two solvents. This only known crystalline form of empagliflozin so far is characterized by X-ray powder diffraction patterns and differential scanning calorimetry records.
Disclosure of Invention
The amorphous form of empagliflozin is easy obtainable by various preparative processes. However, at elevated temperatures and higher relative humidity it recrystallizes to the only known crystalline form described in the patent application WO2006117359. For stabilization of the amorphous form of empagliflozin, solid compositions (solid dispersions or solid solutions) with polymers, copolymers, saccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, fats, waxes and urea, preferably especially with polymers, can be used. These pharmaceutically acceptable excipients form solid compositions with empagliflozin that have a higher glass transition temperature than amorphous empagliflozin itself, which considerably contributed to its stability. The prepared solid solutions or solid dispersions then exhibit higher polymorphic and chemical stability both at elevated temperatures and increased relative humidity.
The invention provides a composition in the form of a melt, containing empagliflozin and at least one pharmaceutical excipient. The selection of the excipient for this composition is governed by the requirement for stability of the end product. A preferred excipient is such wherein the final composition achieves a glass transition temperature higher than 40°C, even better higher than 70°C. Preferred excipients are especially hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hypromellose acetate succinate, povidone PVP K30, Soluplus™, PEG 6000 or copovidone VA64.
Detailed description of the invention
A crystalline solid substance is characterized by a regular long-distance structure arrangement. On the other hand, amorphous solid substances do not exhibit this arrangement. The molecular arrangement of an amorphous solid substance may be represented by "frozen liquid" with rheological properties of a solid substance.
Thus, compared to crystalline solid substances, amorphous solid substances have a different internal structure and a larger surface area, and therefore they exhibit a higher solubility. If the solubility and bioavailability of pharmaceutically active substances needs to be increased, they should be preferably prepared in an amorphous form.
Since molecules in the amorphous form have certain mobility, it is advantageous for the glass transition temperature to be at least 20°C, preferably 30°C and most preferably at least 40°C above the temperature of the actual storage conditions. In case of a low glass transition temperature of an amorphous form there is a higher risk of transition to another form (e.g.
crystalline), or of increase of the contents of impurities, degradants. The glass transition temperature of an amorphous form can be increased by formation of a solid composition with another, more stable substance. Then, the prepared composition generally exhibits higher polymorphic and chemical stability.
A solid composition, consisting at least of two components, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and another at least one chemical compound (matrix), can have several forms. To make the explanation of used terms simpler, the matrix for API stabilization is considered to consist of one component only. In fact, this matrix may consist of one, two, or more components (chemical compounds). As components of a matrix for solid compositions, pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, i.e. for example compounds of the type of polymers, copolymers, saccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, fats, waxes or urea can be preferably used.
The term "solid dispersion" represents a solid composition of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that is dispersed in a matrix while this matrix manifests a crystalline character.
A typical "amorphous solid dispersion" then represents a solid composition where both the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and the matrix show an amorphous character, measured by XRPD. Measured by differential scanning calorimetry this "amorphous solid dispersion" exhibits at least two glass transitions (Tg), one for the dispersed component (active pharmaceutical ingredient) and the other one for the matrix, where the number of glass transitions of the matrix depends on the number of the components of the matrix.
If both the amorphous components (API and matrix) are mixed on the molecular level and the resulting solid composition shows just one glass transition temperature (Tg), measured by differential scanning calorimetry, it is a special solid composition, referred to as a "solid solution".
If the temperature of a crystalline material reaches the melting point, its phase changes from the solid phase to the liquid phase. When this melt is cooled again, the crystalline structure is restored. However, if the melt is cooled at a sufficiently high rate, crystallization may be prevented by formation of a subcooled solution. The subcooled solution is cooled to achieve the glass transition (Tg), the molecules are kinetically frozen and the subcooled liquid solidifies into glass. The molecules in a subcooled liquid have a much higher mobility than in the vitreous state, as described by Remington in the publication: The Science and Practice of Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Press, 21st edition.
As mentioned above, since molecules in the vitreous state also exhibit certain mobility, it is advantageous for the glass transition temperature to be at least 20°C, preferably 30°C and most preferably at least 40°C above the temperature of the actual storage conditions. The glass transition temperature of amorphous empagliflozin is 44°C and, in its non-stabilized condition it is subject to crystallization during storage at an elevated temperature and humidity. For this reason, the amorphous form of empagliflozin should be preferably stabilized by increasing of the glass transition temperature (Tg) to prevent re-crystallization. The prepared solid composition of empagliflozin then exhibits polymorphic and chemical stability at elevated temperatures and increased relative humidity.
A possibility of stabilizing amorphous empagliflozin consists in creating solid compositions with polymers, copolymers, saccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, fats, waxes and urea, preferably especially with polymers. These polymers may come from the group of polymers that are soluble or insoluble in water. Typical water-soluble polymers for stabilization of empagliflozin are polyvinyl pyrrolidone (povidone), copovidone, polyvinyl alcohol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hypromellose), hydroxypropyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl caprolactam - polyvinyl acetate - polyethylene glycol copolymers (Soluplus™), and the like. Typical water-insoluble polymers for stabilization of empagliflozin are methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polymethacrylates, hypromellose phthalate, hypromellose succinate, hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMC AS), cellulose acetate phthalate, carboxymethyl ethyl cellulose, and the like. An advantage of these polymers is the fact that their solubility is dependent on the pH value of the solution and their use makes it possible to influence releasing of the pharmaceutically active ingredient depending on pH of the alimentary tract.
There are a number of preparation methods of stabilized amorphous forms of empagliflozin. A dissolution process is one of the preparation methods of stabilized amorphous forms of empagliflozin. In a common dissolution process the active substance is dissolved in a solvent or in any mixture of solvents. The solvent may be water or any organic solvent. As examples of suitable organic solvents, methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, acetone, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, etc. may be mentioned. In the next step, a substance stabilizing the active pharmaceutical ingredient is added to this solution or suspension. The solvent is quickly removed and amorphous solid matter is produced. The solvent can be removed by means of a rotary vacuum evaporator, fluid granulation, spray drying, electrospinning, solvent freeze-drying etc.
Other options of preparation of stabilized amorphous substances are solvent-free processes. In these processes the active pharmaceutical ingredient (empagliflozin) is mixed with a stabilizing substance (e.g., a polymer). This mixture is heated up and melted, producing a melt. Common temperatures for the formation of a melt vary in the range of 20°C - 40°C above the Tg temperature, where the mixture is melted and has a suitable viscosity for its processing. The melt is subsequently cooled down, which produces an amorphous solid substance. Hot melt extrusion, hot melt granulation, high shear mixer, solvent-free fluid bed granulation, etc. may be mentioned as some examples of these processes.
This invention focuses on the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition containing amorphous empagliflozin with polymers, copolymers, saccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, fats, waxes and urea, especially preferably with polymers. For the preparation of polymer stabilized amorphous solid forms of empagliflozin, the following polymers can be advantageously used: polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), copovidone (Kollidon VA64), hydroxypropyl cellulose (Klucel), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (Methocel), derivatized hydroxypropyl methylcelluloses (e.g., HPMC AS), polymethacrylate derivatives (Eudragit LI 00, Eudragit SI 00) and polyvinyl caprolactam - polyvinyl acetate - polyethylene glycol copolymers (Soluplus™).
The most commonly used polymers in this invention are polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP K30) with the molecular weight of approx. 50,000 Da (g/mol), Methocel E5 (HPMC) with the molecular weight of approx. 22,000 Da (g/mol), Eudragit SI 00 with the molecular weight of approx. 125,000 Da (g mol), copovidone (Kollidon VA64), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC, Klucel), Soluplus™ and hypromellose acetate succinate (HPMC AS-LF).
Out of the group of saccharides and the other substances, glucose, saccharose, galactose or urea can be advantageously used.
For the preparation of the amorphous solid forms of empagliflozin (API), the method of removing the solvent by means of a rotary vacuum evaporator or lyophilization (freeze-drying of solvents) was used. The products prepared this way are summarized in Table 1 together with the results of the DSC and X-ray powder analyses.
Table 1:
The results of the X-ray powder analysis showed that empagliflozin forms stable amorphous solid forms with the polymers HPC, HPMC, HPMCAS, PVP K30, Soluplus™, and copovidone VA64.
The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement makes it possible to distinguish a solid dispersion and a solid solution. In the case of a solid solution an amorphous solid substance only exhibits one glass transition value (Tg) in the record. The prepared amorphous solid substances in the weight ratio of 1 : (API : polymer) formed stable solid solutions whose stability increases with an increasing Tg value (Hancock and Zografi, 1997).
Comparison of the Tg values from the DSC measurements has shown that empagliflozin forms the most stable solid solutions with the polymers copovidone VA64 (Tg = 81.5°C) and PVP K30 (Tg = 117.9°C).
Load tests were used to check and compare stability of amorphous empagliflozin and the solid solutions prepared. Amorphous empagliflozin has the glass transition temperature of 44°C. To illustrate the comparison, solid solutions with different glass transition temperatures were selected, namely 61.7°C (HPMC AS), 81.5°C (Copovidone VA64) and 117.9°C (PVP K30). Empagliflozin is highly chemically stable and when loaded, just a slight increase of impurities occurs. Concerning the polymorphic purity, the situation is different.
Non-stabilized amorphous empagliflozin was only stable, in terms of polymorphic stability, at 50°C and under anhydrous conditions. Under all the other conditions, the anhydrous form started to crystallize and either a mixture of the amorphous and crystalline forms or a fully crystalline form was obtained (see Table 2).
Table 2:
In the case of amorphous empagliflozin stabilized in the form of a solid solution with HPMC AS, partial crystallization of amorphous empagliflozin occurs at a combination of the conditions of increased humidity and temperature. When the sample is extremely loaded by 100% humidity for 10 days, the substance completely changes its form from amorphous to crystalline. From the chemical point of view the solid solution of empagliflozin - HPMC AS is stable under all conditions (see Table 3).
Table 3:
Amorphous empagliflozin stabilized in the form of a solid solution by Copovidone VA64 exhibits polymorphic and chemical stability under nearly all loading conditions. Only when loaded by 100%» humidity for 10 days, its form completely changes from amorphous to
crystalline. From the chemical point of view the solid solution of empagliflozin - Copovidone VA64 is stable under all conditions (see Table 4).
Table 4:
Amorphous empagliflozin stabilized in the form of a solid solution by Povidone PVP K30 is chemically and polymorphically the most stable of all the tested samples and only when loaded by 100% humidity for 10 days, partial crystallization of the amorphous API occurs. The solid solution of empagliflozin - Povidone K30 is chemically stable under all conditions (see Table 5).
Table 5:
The prepared amorphous solid substances containing empagliflozin, stabilized by polymers, saccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides or urea in accordance with this invention, can be used for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions, especially solid dosage forms, e.g.
tablets. Such pharmaceutical compositions may contain at least one excipient from the group of fillers (e.g. lactose), binders (e.g. microcrystalline cellulose), disintegrants (e.g. sodium salt of croscarmellose), lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate), surfactants etc. These tablets can be coated with common coatings, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol or polyethylene glycol.
