Description

THE PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING TOPICAL OPHTHALMIC PREPARATIONS
WITHOUT SYSTEMIC EFFECTS.
The present invention relates to the process for manufacturing topical ophthalmic preparations without systemic effects. Many topical ophthalmic preparations have: systemic effects. These systemic effects are responsible for contraindications, side effects, toxicity of some of the topical ophthalmic preparations. Similarly, due to systemic effects certain topical ophthalmic preparations have not been commercialized. :
The present invention is directed to manufacturing topical ophthalmic preparations in such a way that systemic effects of that topical ophthalmic preparation do not manifest.
Topical ophthalmic preparations can be divided into two groups. One of the group includes preparations in which active ingredients are for topical use only and have no systemic effects. These group of drugs include antibiotics like Framycetin,
Neomycin, Fucidin, steroids like Loteprednol Ebanoate, Triamcinolone, alpha agonist like Apraclonidine, Brimonidine, etc. The other group of topical ophthalmic preparations have active ingredients which are generally .used for their effects. These group of preparations include antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin,
Norfloxacin, Ofloxacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin, steroids like Dexamethasone,
Betamethasone, B-blockers like Timolol, Betaxolol, etc. Some of these drugs when used topically are also found to have systemic effects. When systemic effects are serious in nature, it results in limiting the use of a drug in the form of contraindication or amount of drug to be used.
Examples of well known systemic effects of topical ophthalmic preparations include cardiopulmonary effects of p-blockers like Timolol, Levobunolol,
Metipranolol, Carteolol, etc. Dryness of mouth, flush, fever, tachycardia, urinary retention, convulsion irritability are found with Atropine eye drops. Systemic hypertension is associated with topical mydriatic phenylephrine. Increased salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach cramp, bronchial secretions, bronchial constriction, asthma, bradycardia, parasthesia is seen with miotics.
Systemic hypotension is main limiting factor for use of clonidine in management of glaucoma. Dry mouth, fatigue and drowsiness seen with Brimonidine and
Apraclonidine are some of their systemic effects.
The systemic side effects, manifesting with the use of topical ophthalmic preparations results in discontinuation of therapy or not initiating a therapy or reducing the amount of drug or drug not having wide spread acceptance. :
Because of this reason, attempts’ are made to reduce systemic effects of topically - applied drugs.
Systemic effects are due to plasma concentration of a drug. It depends on ~ absorption of the drug from conjunctiva or nasal mucosa into systemic circulation (serum levels of drug).
The mechanisms to reduce plasma concentration of a drug includes reduction in drop size. It reduces the amount of drug available through conjunctiva as well as nasal mucosa.
eGGGSSSSSSSSSSESSSSSSEESS———_——
The blockage of nasolacrimal duct temporarily or permanently also reduces drug reaching to nasal mucosa through nasolacrimal passages and thus reduces the amount of drug available systemically. Increasing the viscosity of a formulation also reduces the plasma concentration of a drug. Slow release of a drug through sustained release mechanism/device are known to reduce plasma concentration of topical ophthalmic preparations. Including vasoconstrictive agents into a topical ophthalmic preparation also reduces the plasma level of topically applied drugs.
The other mechanism used to reduce systemic effects include use of a prodrug as . topical ophthalmic preparation which gets converted to active compound only at the site of action, e.g. Dipivetrin for epinephrine and Phenylephrine Oxazoline for
Phenylephrine. ~The other mechanism known includes formulating a preparation as an ointment.
The tear film formed with the use of ointment is thick, with poor light transmission and irregular anterior surface. This results in blurring of vision and so have not been popular. It also causes stickiness of lashes and lid margin. This limits its use to a great extent and whenever used, its use is restricted for bed time application.
None of the above described methods in isolation or in combination with each- other have been successful in eliminating systemic effects of topical ophthalmic preparations. Majority of efforts are centered around topical B-blockers to reduce their systemic effect, e.g. reduction in pulse rate. All known methods have been able to decrease the reduction in pulse rate, but none of them have been able to eliminate it completely.

The objective of present invention is to provide topical ophthalmic preparations without systemic effects without reducing the concentration of active ingredient.
The further objective of present invention is to provide topical ophthalmic preparations which does not cause significant visual disturbances to limit its use during waking hours.
The further objective of present invention is to provide topical ophthalmic preparations which are equally effective after longer period of storage.
The further objective of present invention is to provide topical ophthalmic preparations which do not require special storage conditions.
Accordingly there is provided a process of manufacturing topical ophthalmic preparations without systemic side effects which comprises of the following steps. 1. Liquid formulation of a selected drug is prepared which contains excipients buffers and preservatives in distilled water. The pH of this solution is adjusted to provide stable formulation for topical ophthalmic use. 2. In a separate vessel polymer is dissolved into a solvent preferably water and stirred well till gel is formed. 3. Solution containing selected drug as formulated in step 1 is gradually added to the gel as formed in step 2.
4. Volume is made up by adding distilled water/solvent as required. 5. pH is checked and adjusted as necessary to provide stable formulation for topical instillation into eye.
The drug described above can be any of the existing ophthalmic preparations or any other drug which cannot be used as a topical preparation in a desired concentration for instillation into eye. The drugs which are most frequently used and are known to have systemic effects include B-blockers like Timolol,
Levobunolol, Metipranalol, etc.
Similarly, mydriatics like phenylephrine, atropine, cyclopentolate, tropicamide have systemic effects and their use is restricted by it.
Clonidine is an example of a drug which lowers 1.0.P. significantly but cannot be used as 0.1% or 0.2% concentration due to its systemic hypotensive effect.
The polymer to be used for preparing topical formulation as per present invention should form a gel when solubilized. For the purpose of present invention it is desirable to select a polymer with mucoadhesive properties. To avoid discomfort and visual disturbances associated with use of viscous solutions, it is desirable that polymer selected demonstrates pseudoplastic behaviour in a formulation.
