Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, more specifically a unique formulation and pharmaceutical composition that can manifest more excellent blood pressure lowering effect through synergism of three active ingredients, namely, Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine and can used for targeting the circadian rhythm of hypertension and treat resistant hypertension.
- active ingredients namely, Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine
- the present invention relates to a drug combination capable of reducing risk in onset, particularly likely in the morning, of various diseases ascribable to vascular problems, such as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular problems, caused by circadian variation of blood pressure, in individuals with a blunted decline in blood pressure from night to early morning, i.e., so-called “non-dippers", in particular, normotensive individuals with normal 24-hour mean blood pressure among them.
- vascular problems such as cardiovascular or cerebrovascular problems
- non-dippers in particular, normotensive individuals with normal 24-hour mean blood pressure among them.
- the objective of the invention is thus to provide a new pharmaceutical composition containing a stable form of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine which complies with the abovementioned stringent requirements imposed on a pharmaceutically active substance.
- the cilnidipine/telmisartan/chlorthalidone fixed-dose combination provides the following advantages over other drug combinations for the following reasons.
- CCB Calcium channel blocker
- ARB Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers
- ARB Thiazide
- hypokalemia or hyperkalemia is diminished by the combination as well as the risk for metabolic side effects such as hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia.
- the combination is especially beneficial to diabetic patients with cardioprotective and renoprotective effects of cilnidapine and telmisartan, overcoming the development of resistant hypertension in diabetic patients who are non-dippers or even nocturnal blood pressure risers and improving insulin sensitivity.
- the pharmacokinetic profiles of the 3 drugs in the combination allows for sustained 24-48 hours blood pressure lowering effects with lower risk of hypotension and improved patient compliance and adherence.
- Cilnidipine reduces the risk of any hyperuricemia induced by chlorthalidone, cilnidipine and telmisartan prevent the renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system (RAAS) activation synergistically.
- RAAS renin-angiotensin- aldosterone system
- the clinical effects of the triple combination are pharmacologically equivalent to a 5 drug combination therapy: A beta blocker, a thiazide diuretic, an ARB, a CCB and a direct vasodilator (cilnidipine causes more vasodilation in renal arteries than any other CCB)
- Patients who will likely benefit from the combination include: patients with resistant hypertension who fail other therapies, patients with fluctuations in blood pressure, patients with white coat hypertension or morning hypertension, patients with ischemic heart diseases, diabetic patients, patients with heart failure, patients with a history of ischemic strokes, patients with high risk for QT prolongation, patients with chronic kidney disease and patients with the metabolic syndrome.
- the combination is unique in being suitable as a first line treatment for eligible patients and as a rescue treatment when other treatments fail.
- the combination resists future changes to the blood pressure lowering effects by endogenous compensatory mechanisms such as RAAS and sympathetic activation.
- the combination can be manufactured as an immediate release formulation due to the sustained blood pressure lowering effects of the combination.

- FIGURE 9B Continous of manufacturing process shown in FIGURE 8A.
- Hypertension is a cause of heart disease and other related cardiac co-morbidities. Hypertension occurs when blood vessels constrict. As a result, the heart works harder to maintain flow at a higher blood pressure, which can contribute to heart failure. A large segment of the general population, as well as a large segment of patients implanted with pacemakers or defibrillators, suffer from hypertension. The long term mortality as well as the quality of life can be improved for this population if blood pressure and hypertension can be reduced. Many patients who suffer from hypertension do not respond to treatment, such as treatments related to lifestyle changes and hypertension drugs.
- a unit dosage form such as a tablet or capsule or the like for delivering drugs into the body in a circadian release fashion, is comprising of one or more populations of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine -containing particles (beads, pellets, granules, etc.). Each bead population exhibits a pre-designed rapid or sustained release profile with or without a predetermined lag time of 3 to 6 hours.
- Such a circadian rhythm release cardiovascular drug delivery system is designed to provide a plasma concentration-time profile for the 3 drugs, which fit the physiological need of blood pressure lowering during the day, i.e., mimicking the circadian rhythm and severity/manifestation of a cardiovascular disease, predicted based on pharmaco- kinetic and pharmaco-dynamic considerations and in
- a major objective for effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases is to deliver the drug in higher concentrations during the time of greatest need, typically during the early morning hours, and in lesser concentrations when the need is less, such as during the late evening and early sleep hours.
- This can be accomplished by administration of the triple therapy dosage form of the present invention, which relates to release of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine from dosage forms.
- the dosage form of the present invention is designed to release Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine with resulting plasma concentration(s) of Telmisartan, Chlorthalidone and Cilnidipine complete each other in a circadian rhythm fashion following administration of a single dosage form at bedtime, thereby minimizing potential risks of a cardiovascular disease, such as stroke, heart attack and myocardial infarction, decreasing systolic blood pressure, or reducing hypertension or beta-adrenergic stimulation, treating cardiac arrhythmia, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis or angina, or preventing migraine and thus enhancing patient compliance and therapeutic efficacy, while reducing cost of treatment.

- migraine thus enhancing patient compliance and
- the dosage forms of the present invention are novel formulations designed to provide reductions in blood pressure and heart rate over 24 hours, including optimal protection in the early morning hours when patients are most vulnerable to cardiovascular events i.e., in a circadian rhythm fashion to effectively treat cardiovascular diseases.
- blood levels of the composition begin to increase approximately 4 hours after bedtime administration of these dosage forms such as tablets and rise progressively over the early morning hours to reach peak plasma concentrations approximately 14 hours after dosing.
- These tablets produce peak plasma levels that rise slowly to attenuate the rapid increase in blood pressure and heart rate that precedes and follows waking. This increase is associated with circadian variation in catecholamine secretion and in rennin release.
- the rise in plasma concentration after dosing with these formulations parallel the circadian rise in morning blood pressure associated with target organ damage in patients with hypertensive and ischemic cardiovascular disease.
- the present invention is applied to multi-dose forms, i.e., drug products in the form of multi-particulate dosage forms (pellets, beads, granules or mini-tablets) or in other forms suitable for oral administration.
- multi-dose forms i.e., drug products in the form of multi-particulate dosage forms (pellets, beads, granules or mini-tablets) or in other forms suitable for oral administration.
- the following non-limiting examples illustrate the tablet dosage forms manufactured in accordance with the invention, which exhibit in vitro drug release profiles, similar to that predicted by performing modeling exercises, and in vivo plasma concentrations following circadian rhythm pharmaco-dynamic profile of angina attacks.
- Such dosage forms when administered at bed time would enable maintaining drug plasma concentration at a level potentially beneficial in minimizing the occurrence of heart attacks in the early hours of the morning.
- Telmisartan is an angiotensin antagonist, particularly an angiotensin II antagonist which, by virtue of its pharmacological properties, may be used, for example, to treat hypertension and cardiac insufficiency, to treat ischemic peripheral circulatory disorders and myocardial ischaemia (angina), to prevent the progression of cardiac insufficiency after myocardial infarct, and to treat diabetic neuropathy, glaucoma, gastrointestinal diseases and bladder diseases.
- telmisartan peak concentrations (Cmax) of telmisartan are reached in 0.5 to 1 hour after dosing.
- Food slightly reduces the bioavailability of telmisartan, with a reduction in the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of about 6% with the 40 mg tablet and about 20% after a 160 mg dose.
- AUC area under the plasma concentration-time curve
- the absolute bioavailability of telmisartan is dose dependent. At 40 and 160 mg the bioavailability is 42% and 58%, respectively.
- the pharmacokinetics of orally administered telmisartan are nonlinear over the dose range 20 to 160 mg, with greater than proportional increases of plasma concentrations (C.sub.max and AUC) with increasing doses.
- Telmisartan shows bi- exponential decay kinetics with a terminal elimination half-life of approximately 24 hours. Trough plasma concentrations of telmisartan with once daily dosing are about 10 to 25% of peak plasma concentrations. Telmisartan has an accumulation index in plasma of 1.5 to 2.0 upon repeated once daily dosing.
- Telmisartan is metabolised by conjugation to the glucuronide of the parent compound. No pharmacological activity has been shown for the conjugate.
- Telmisartan is characterised by biexponential decay pharmacokinetics with a terminal elimination half-life of >20 hours.
- Cmax maximum plasma concentration
- AUC area under the plasma concentration-time curve
- Telmisartan After oral (and intravenous) administration Telmisartan is nearly exclusively excreted with the feces, mainly as unchanged compound. Cumulative urinary excretion is ⁇ 1 % of dose. Total plasma clearance (Cltot) is high (approximately 1 ,000 ml/min) compared with hepatic blood flow (about 1 ,500 ml/min).
- Telmisartan is largely bound to plasma protein (>99.5 %), mainly albumin and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein.
- the mean steady state apparent volume of distribution (Vdss) is approximately 500.
- Telmisartan is unique among other angiotensin II receptor blockers in having the following characteristics.
- telmisartan In addition to its anti-hypertensive effect through antagonizing AT1 receptors, telmisartan has a unique property that activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y (PPAR-g) and is suggested to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce triglyceride levels, leading to a reduction of the risk for atherosclerosis.
- PPAR-g peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-y
- telmisartan may accelerate reverse cholesterol transport or inhibit net cholesterol absorption through activation of ABC1, leading to lowering of TC and Low density lipids-Cholesterol (23). These results suggest that telmisartan may have the ability to lower cholesterol. Thus using a telmisartan alone or in combination with a diuretic/CCB can be efficacious in patients with dyslipidemia.
- Chlorthalidone has a half-life of 40 hours and provides more consistent 24-hr blood pressure lowering effects than hydrochlorothiazide.
- Pharmacokinetics After an oral dose about 65% is absorbed. Peak serum levels are reached 2-6 hours after administration. Most of the absorbed dose (98%) is bound to red cell carbonic anhydrase. The plasma half-life is 50-90 hours during long term treatment 30-60% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine and up to 10% is excreted in the faeces. No metabolites have been identified.
- Cilnidipine is a unique Ca2+ channel blocker with equipotent inhibitory actions on the L- type Ca2+ channels in the heart and vascular system and the N-type Ca2+ channels, located in adrenergic neurons.
- cilnidipine has been clarified to exert antisympathetic actions, unlike any other classical Ca2+ channel blockers.
- renoprotective and neuroprotective effects as well as cardioprotective action of cilnidipine have been demonstrated in a vast number of preclinical and clinical studies.
- Cilnidipine has a half-life of about 5 hours but its hypotensive effects are unique compared to other CCBs and other antihypertensive agents. The onset of action is slow but the effects are long lasting. Hence, the drug provides a unique combination of lower risk for hypotension yet sustained effective lowering of blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
- Cilnidipine was rapidly metabolized to three metabolites by (CYP3A) after
