Description

NOVEL NON-ORAL FORMULATIONS OF FACTOR Xa INHIBITORS AND PROCESS FOR PREPARATION THEREOF
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel non-oral formulation of factor Xa inhibitors comprising factor Xa inhibitor and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from vehicles, surface active agents, co-solvents and stabilizers.
The present invention also relates to a process for preparing novel formulation of factor Xa inhibitor for non-oral route of administration.
The present invention also relates to a novel non-oral formulation of factor Xa inhibitors for parenteral, topical, nasal, transdermal and ophthalmic administration.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
Factor Xa inhibitors are small molecules that selectively and reversibly bind to the active site of activated factor X (Xa), which blocks the interaction with its substrate in a rapid and competitive fashion, therefore inhibiting the final effects of thrombin generation.
Several factor Xa inhibitors, such as Apixaban, Razaxaban, Betrixaban Rivaroxaban, and Edoxaban.
Apixaban is a known compound having the below structure and molecular weight 459.50 g/mol.

U.S. patent application 2015/0224053 Al teaches a oral liquid formulation comprising Apixaban and a vehicle, the vehicle comprising water and at least two solubilizers selected from the group consisting of a non-ionic surfactant, an ionic surfactant, a hydrophilic polymer, ethanol, a polyhydric alcohol, a polyethylene glycol, and a carbohydrate, wherein a solubility of Apixaban in the vehicle is at least 0.50 mg/mL.
PCT application WO 2007/022165 A2 teaches a pharmaceutical formulation comprising a factor Xa inhibitor and a substituted-0-cyclodextrin as solubilizing agent wherein the formulation is in the form of an injectable formulation.
Non-oral formulation of factor Xa inhibitor such as Apixaban or Razaxaban or Edoxaban or Rivaroxaban or Betrixaban eases the administration in subconscious, non-cooperative or pediatric or geriatric patients who have difficulty in swallowing a dosage form through oral route.
Factor Xa inhibitors such as Apixaban or Razaxaban are weak base. Reportedly, Apixaban has pH dependent instability and its free base form has extremely low aqueous solubility which is less than 0.04 mg/mL. Similarly, Edoxaban and Rivaroxaban also have low aqueous solubility, 0.14 mg/mL and 0.025 mg/mL, respectively.
Anticipated human dose of Apixaban or Razaxaban or Edoxaban or Rivaroxaban or Betrixaban is about 2.5 to 15 mg. To achieve a practical non-oral dose of less than 5 mL, a solution of high drug concentration, for example 2 mg/mL, is required. Since, the solubility of Apixaban or Razaxaban or Edoxaban or Rivaroxaban could not be increased to needed level i.e. 2 mg/mL, by adjusting pH in physiological range [pH 1.2-6.8] due to pH dependent instability. Hence, a novel co-solvency approach is proposed for current formulation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The term "comprising", which is synonymous with "including", "containing", or "characterized by" here is defined as being inclusive or open-ended, and does not exclude additional, unrecited elements or method steps, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.
The solubility of Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban in this vehicle is atleast 1.5 mg/mL. The present invention has better acceptability as compared to earlier claimed inventions of the same group of drugs. In an embodiment of present invention, the formulation is suitable for bolus injection, intravenous infusion, topical, nasal, transdermal and ophthalmic administration.
In another embodiment of the present invention is a method for treating the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in nonvalular atrial fibrillation patients and deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after hip or knee replacement surgery, administered to patient in need, thereof a non-oral formulation of Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban are therapeutically active.
The subject invention describes new formulations of factor Xa inhibitor such as Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban for administration which includes non-oral formulation and method for making and using the same.
Drug solubility is minimum requirement for designing any dosage form and it is more critical when designing a formulation of poorly soluble drug like factor Xa inhibitor such as Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban. Because of low solubility associated with factor Xa inhibitor such as Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban, the bioavailability is limited and hence, solubility enhancement is necessary.
The method of making and using novel non-oral formulation of poorly soluble factor Xa inhibitor such as Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban disclosed in this invention addresses the enhancement of patient acceptability for same class of drugs.
In accordance with current invention, it was observed that water solubility of factor Xa inhibitor was sufficiently increased to allow preparation of aqueous based non-oral formulation by using factor Xa inhibitor with surface active agents and cosolvents and solvent and solubilising agents and stabilizers.
Many different category of water miscible co-solvent system and solubilizing agents have proved to be unacceptable for liquid formulation of factor Xa inhibitor due to the limited solubility of Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban sufficiently to provide a drug concentration of at least 1.5 mg/mL at acceptable administrable volume.
The factor Xa inhibitor is selected from Apixaban, Razaxaban, Edoxaban, Rivaroxaban and Betrixaban.
The factor Xa inhibitor used in formulations of present invention is in the range of about 0.001% to 10% w/w of total weight of the formulation.
The vehicle used in the formulations of the present invention is water.
The vehicle used in formulations of present invention is in the range of about 5% to 90% w/w of total weight of the formulation.
The surface active agents used in the present invention are selected from nonionic surface active agents such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters (Polysorbates), block copolymers of polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol (poloxamers), polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative, polyoxyglyceride, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, and macrogol 15 hydroxystearate and combinations thereof.
The surface active agents used in formulations of present invention is in the range of about 0.001% to 40% w/w of total weight of the formulation.
The co- solvents used in the present invention are selected from alcohol, propylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, glycerin, benzyl alcohol, ester of a medium or long chain fatty acid such as a mono- di- or triglyceride, phospholipids, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylacetamide and combinations thereof.
The co- solvents used in formulations of present invention is in the range of about 1% to 90% w/w of total weight of the formulation.

The stabilizers used in formulations of present invention are in the range of about 1% to 90% w/w of total weight of the formulation.
The said invention is stable as confirmed from stability studies conducted on prepared formulations.
The product thus formulated can be used for treatment of risk of stroke, systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism after hip or knee replacement surgery. As with any potent drug, the dosage must be individualized by treating clinician.
The formulation of the present invention is manufactured by dissolving surface active agent in vehicle followed by adding one or more co-solvent’s or co-solvent and stabilizer and finally adding factor Xa inhibitor in the vehicle under continuous mixing using stirring. Final volume was made up by water for injection. Mixture was heated at 40-80°C for 10-30 minutes if required, to obtain clear solution upon cooling to room temperature.
The solution was free from particulate matter by visual inspection and was filtered by sterilizing grade filter followed by aseptic filling into vials or ampoules or prefilled syringes. If required, the final product was sterilized by autoclaving. Target fill volume was 3.5 mL including 0.5 mL overfill for vial or needle or ampoule hold up.
