Definitions
- the present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a levodopa composition microparticle for nasal delivery and its preparation method and application.
- brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and brain tumors
- brain diseases have brought major challenges to the life and health of our people.
- the low efficiency of drug targeting to the brain is a key bottleneck. This is mainly related to the existence of the physiological structure of the human blood-brain barrier, which prevents almost all macromolecule drugs and 95% of small molecule drugs from entering the brain, significantly reducing the number of drugs. Bioavailability in the brain, thus affecting the treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
- Levodopa is a white or off-white crystalline powder that is odorless and tasteless. It is a small molecule drug and has no pharmacological activity. It is converted into dopamine under the action of dopa decarboxylase and exerts pharmacological effects. It can cross the blood-brain barrier. , is used as the gold standard for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.
- the levodopa molecule has a bisphenol structure and is unstable in nature. It is easily oxidized and deteriorates, and it oxidizes and darkens rapidly in the presence of moisture. Therefore, its liquid dosage form has poor storage stability.
- levodopa/carbidopa tablets are mainly available on the market. They are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and enter the systemic blood circulation. They further pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach the brain to exert therapeutic effects. Parkinson's patients take levodopa tablets orally for a long time. It will lead to a decrease in treatment response, such as an off period (OFF period) of at least 2 hours per day, which is the drug ineffective period. At this time, the patient needs to receive other administration methods as auxiliary treatment.
- Nasal administration is simple and convenient because of its rapid drug absorption, rapid onset of action, and no liver first-pass effect. The drug can be absorbed through the nasal mucosa in the olfactory area and directly and quickly delivered to the brain. It has attracted widespread attention by bypassing the blood-brain barrier to achieve efficient treatment of central nervous system diseases.
- the complex geometry of the nasal cavity hinders drug delivery to the target area.
- the clearance mechanism of cilia in the nasal cavity makes the residence time of particles short, and the tightly connected nasal mucosa limits the permeability of drugs.
- the main preparation methods of levodopa microparticles for nasal delivery include dry grinding, spray drying, double emulsification method, ion gel method, etc. These traditional processes often produce polydisperse particles with a wide distribution of properties in the same batch of production, with poor repeatability and low yields.
- the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a levodopa composition microparticle for nasal delivery.
- the microparticles provided by the present invention have high nasal cavity delivery and deposition efficiency.
- the present invention provides a method for preparing levodopa composition microparticles for nasal delivery, including:
- the precursor liquid is atomized using an atomizer to obtain droplets; the size of the droplets is 30 to 300 ⁇ m;
- the auxiliary material in step A) is one of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl- ⁇ -cyclodextrin.
- the mass ratio of levodopa and excipients is 9:1 to 1:9.
- the total mass concentration of levodopa and excipients in the precursor liquid of step A) is 0.1% to 5%.
- step B) is selected from a pressure atomizer, a two-fluid atomizer, an ultrasonic atomizer and a microfluidic atomizer, and the initial droplet size is adjusted to 30-300 ⁇ m.
- the spray drying parameters in step C) are:
- the tower inlet temperature is 120 ⁇ 230°C, and the outlet temperature is 60 ⁇ 100°C.
- the aerodynamic particle size of the particles is 10 ⁇ m to 35 ⁇ m, and the deposition rate in the olfactory area is greater than 10%.
- the present invention provides levodopa composition particles for nasal delivery, which are prepared by the preparation method described in any of the above technical solutions.
- the invention provides a levodopa group prepared by any one of the above preparation methods.
- the present invention provides a nasal delivery product, including the levodopa composition particles described in the above technical solution.
- the present invention provides a method for preparing levodopa composition particles for nasal delivery, which includes: A) dissolving levodopa and auxiliary materials to obtain a precursor liquid; B) atomizing the precursor liquid The liquid droplets are atomized to obtain liquid droplets; the size of the liquid droplets is 30 to 300 ⁇ m; C) the liquid droplets are spray-dried to obtain microparticles.

本申请要求于2022年06月29日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210750856.5、发明名称为“一种用于鼻腔递送的左旋多巴组合物微粒及其制备方法和应用”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。This application requires priority for the Chinese patent application submitted to the China Patent Office on June 29, 2022, with the application number 202210750856.5 and the invention title "A levodopa composition microparticle for nasal delivery and its preparation method and application" rights, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
本发明涉及药物制剂技术领域,尤其是涉及一种用于鼻腔递送的左旋多巴组合物微粒及其制备方法和应用。The present invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a levodopa composition microparticle for nasal delivery and its preparation method and application.
随着人口老龄化,脑部疾病,如帕金森、阿尔兹海默症、脑肿瘤等给我国人民的生命健康带来重大挑战,据统计,2020年我国已有300万帕金森患者,且每年以10万人数逐年递增,但仍缺少优效的临床药物。其中药物脑靶向效率低是关键瓶颈,这主要与人体血脑屏障这一生理结构的存在密切相关,它阻止了几乎所有的大分子药物以及95%的小分子药物进入脑部,显著降低药物在脑部的生物利用度,从而影响了对如帕金森等脑部疾病的治疗。With the aging of the population, brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and brain tumors, have brought major challenges to the life and health of our people. According to statistics, there will be 3 million Parkinson's patients in my country in 2020, and every year The number of people is increasing year by year to 100,000, but there is still a lack of effective clinical drugs. Among them, the low efficiency of drug targeting to the brain is a key bottleneck. This is mainly related to the existence of the physiological structure of the human blood-brain barrier, which prevents almost all macromolecule drugs and 95% of small molecule drugs from entering the brain, significantly reducing the number of drugs. Bioavailability in the brain, thus affecting the treatment of brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
左旋多巴,为白色或类白色的结晶性粉末,无臭、无味,小分子药物,本身无药理活性,在多巴脱羧酶的作用下转化为多巴胺而发挥药理作用,可穿过血脑屏障,是作为治疗帕金森病的黄金标准,但是左旋多巴分子具有临双酚结构,性质不稳定,极易氧化变质,且在水分存在下迅速氧化与变暗,因此其液体剂型储存稳定性差。Levodopa is a white or off-white crystalline powder that is odorless and tasteless. It is a small molecule drug and has no pharmacological activity. It is converted into dopamine under the action of dopa decarboxylase and exerts pharmacological effects. It can cross the blood-brain barrier. , is used as the gold standard for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. However, the levodopa molecule has a bisphenol structure and is unstable in nature. It is easily oxidized and deteriorates, and it oxidizes and darkens rapidly in the presence of moisture. Therefore, its liquid dosage form has poor storage stability.
目前市场上主要以左旋多巴/卡比多巴的片剂为主,经肠胃吸收进入全身血液循环,进一步穿过血脑屏障到达脑部而发挥疗效,帕金森患者长期口服左旋多巴片剂会导致治疗反应的下降,比如出现每天至少2h的关闭期(OFF期),即药物无效期,此时患者需要接受其它给药方式作为辅助性治疗。而鼻腔给药由于其给药简单方便,药物吸收迅速,起效快,无肝脏首过效应,药物能够通过嗅区的鼻粘膜吸收,直接快速递送至大脑,
绕过血脑屏障,从而实现高效治疗中枢神经系统疾病而受到广泛关注。Currently, levodopa/carbidopa tablets are mainly available on the market. They are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract and enter the systemic blood circulation. They further pass through the blood-brain barrier and reach the brain to exert therapeutic effects. Parkinson's patients take levodopa tablets orally for a long time. It will lead to a decrease in treatment response, such as an off period (OFF period) of at least 2 hours per day, which is the drug ineffective period. At this time, the patient needs to receive other administration methods as auxiliary treatment. Nasal administration is simple and convenient because of its rapid drug absorption, rapid onset of action, and no liver first-pass effect. The drug can be absorbed through the nasal mucosa in the olfactory area and directly and quickly delivered to the brain. It has attracted widespread attention by bypassing the blood-brain barrier to achieve efficient treatment of central nervous system diseases.
然而鼻腔复杂的几何形状阻碍了药物递送至靶向区域,鼻腔内纤毛的清除机制使得粒子的停留时间短,紧密连接的鼻粘膜限制了药物的渗透性。目前,鼻腔递送左旋多巴微粒主要的制备方法有干法研磨、喷雾干燥、双乳化法、离子凝胶法等。这些传统工艺在同一批生产中往往会产生性能分布广泛的多分散颗粒,且重复性差,产率低。However, the complex geometry of the nasal cavity hinders drug delivery to the target area. The clearance mechanism of cilia in the nasal cavity makes the residence time of particles short, and the tightly connected nasal mucosa limits the permeability of drugs. At present, the main preparation methods of levodopa microparticles for nasal delivery include dry grinding, spray drying, double emulsification method, ion gel method, etc. These traditional processes often produce polydisperse particles with a wide distribution of properties in the same batch of production, with poor repeatability and low yields.
