Specification

DESC:“ORAL FORMULATIONS OF PACLITAXEL AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THEREOF”

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to oral capsule as well as suspension formulation of Paclitaxel and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. This present invention discloses suspension and/or soft-gelatin capsule as well as hard-gelatin capsule formulation of Paclitaxel and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Further, the present invention relates to providing an economical and technically advanced dosage form over existing dosage forms.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Paclitaxel (CAS: 33069-62-4) is a member of the class of tetracyclic di-terpenoid derivative that is a small molecule microtubule inhibitor that promotes the assembly of microtubules from tubulin dimers and stabilizes microtubules by preventing de-polymerization for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as first-line treatment in combination with carboplatin. Further, in metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas as first-line treatment, in combination with gemcitabine.
Paclitaxel is a white to off-white crystalline powder with an empirical formula of C47H51NO14 and a molecular weight of 853.91 g per mol. Paclitaxel is chemically known as 5ß,20-Epoxy-1,2a,4,7ß,10ß,13a-hexahydroxytax-11-en-9-one-4,10-diacetate-2-benzoate-13-ester with (2R,3S)-N-benzoyl-3¬ phenylisoserine and is represented structurally as below:

PACLITAXEL
Paclitaxel was first isolated in 1971 from the Pacific yew and approved for medical use in 1993. It is now manufactured by cell culture. Paclitaxel was first disclosed in EP Patent EP0118316 which is a patent assigned to Lipid Specialties, Inc.
Paclitaxel is the presently marketed in the formulation having brand name ABRAXANE® which is developed by ABRAXIS BIOSCIENCE LLC, available in multiple strengths for suspension administration by way of intravenous (infusion), which was first approved by the USFDA on Jan 7, 2005. In the US, primarily, it was approved by the USFDA for the treatment of Metastatic breast cancer, after failure of combination chemotherapy for metastatic disease or relapse within 6 months of adjuvant chemotherapy. Prior therapy should have included an anthracycline unless clinically contraindicated. Locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as first-line treatment in combination with carboplatin, in patients who are not candidates for curative surgery or radiation therapy. Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas as first-line treatment, in combination with gemcitabine. In the EU marketing authorization holder is Celgene Europe B.V. from the effective date of 15 Jan 2008 for the same treatment which was disclosed in USFDA label like metastatic breast cancer, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and non-small cell lung cancer.
ABRAXANE® is available in strength(s) of 100 mg/vial. The recommended dosage of Paclitaxel is 260 mg/m2 intravenously over 30 minutes every 3 weeks for the treatment in metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) patients. Further, ABRAXANE is 100 mg/m2 intravenously over 30 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 21-day cycle; administer carboplatin on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle immediately after ABRAXANE for the treatment in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, Moreover, ABRAXANE is 125 mg/m2 intravenously over 30-40 minutes on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle; administer gemcitabine on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle immediately after ABRAXANE for the treatment in Adenocarcinoma of the Pancreas related cancer patients. Therefore, dose recommended according to USFDA label is reduced or discontinuation may be needed based on severe hematologic, neurologic, cutaneous, or gastrointestinal toxicities.
It is well recognized that many drugs for parenteral use, especially those administered intravenously, cause undesirable side effects such as venous irritation, phlebitis, burning and pain on injection, venous thrombosis, extravasation, and other administration related side effects. Many of these drugs are insoluble in water, and are thus formulated with solubilizing agents, surfactants, solvents, and/or emulsifiers that are irritating, allergenic, or toxic when administered to patients (see, e.g., Briggs et al., Anesthesis 37, 1099 (1982), and Waugh et al., Am. J. Hosp. Pharmacists, 48, 1520 (1991)). Often, the free drug present in the formulation induces pain or irritation upon administration. For example, phlebitis was observed in 50% of patients who received peripheral vein administration of ifosfamide and vinorelbine as first-line chemotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung carcinoma. (See, e.g., Vallejo et al., Am. J. Clin. Oncol. 19(6), 584-8 (1996)). Moreover, vancomycin has been shown to induce side effects such as phlebitis (see, e.g., Lopes Rocha et al., Braz. J. Infect. Dis., 6(4), 196-200 (2002)). The use of cisplatin, gemcitabine, and SU5416 in patients with solid tumors has resulted in adverse events such as deep venous thromboses and phlebitis (see, e.g., Kuenen et al., J. Clin. Oncol. 20(6), 1657-67 (2002)). In addition, propofol, an anesthetic agent, can induce pain on injection, burning and vein irritation, particularly when administered as a lecithin-stabilized fat emulsion (see, e.g, Tan et al., Anathesia, 53, 468-76, (1998)). Other drugs that exhibit administration-associated side effects include, for example, Taxol (paclitaxel) (see, e.g., package insert for Taxol I.V.), codarone (amiodarone hydrochloride) (see, e.g., package insert for Codarone I.V.), the thyroid hormone T3 or liothyronine (commercially available as Triostat), thiotepa, bleomycin, and diagnostic radiocontrast agents.
The commercially-available paclitaxel formulation (Bristol-Myers Squibb) comprises 6 mg/ml of paclitaxel dissolved in Cremophor® EL (castor oil, polyoxyethylated castor oil) and dehydrated ethanol (50% v/v). Similar formulations are sold by other manufacturers, for example, IVAX Co. Before intravenous injection, the commercial dose must be diluted to a final concentration of 0.3 to 1.2 mg/ml prior to injection. Recommended diluents are 0.9% aqueous sodium chloride, 5% aqueous dextrose, or 0.9% sodium chloride 5% dextrose aqueous solution, or 5% dextrose in Ringer's injection (The Physician's Desk Reference, 54th edition, 881-887, Medical Economics Company (2000); Goldspiel 1994 Ann. Pharmacotherapy 28:S23-26, both of which are incorporated herein by reference). In addition in general, the toxicity of Cremophor® EL, which is a required component of the intravenous formulation, is believed to be unacceptable.
The formulations, e.g. 6 mg/mL of paclitaxel in Ethanol and Cremophor®EL, are further disadvantageous because of the large dosage volumes required due to the low concentration of paclitaxel. Furthermore, recent studies have suggested that Cremophor®EL binds to paclitaxel, entrapping it in micelles, and decreasing absorption from the gut. (Bardelmeijer et al. Cancer Chemother. Pharmacol. 2002, 49:119-125; Malingré et. al. British Journal of Cancer 2001, 85(10), 1472-1477.) Thus, the bioavailability of paclitaxel is quite low when administered orally. There is a need, therefor, for formulations comprising paclitaxel, derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof which have an increased dissolution rate and uptake in the gastrointestinal system and hence a greater bioavailability for oral administration.
US6319943 discloses a composition suitable for orally administering Paclitaxel comprising Paclitaxel, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable, water-miscible solubilizer selected from the group consisting of solubilizers having the general structures R1COOR2, R1CONR2, and RCOR2, wherein R1 is a derivative of d-C.-tocopherol and R2 is a hydrophilic moiety and method of preparation thereof. Unfortunately, Paclitaxel is poorly soluble in water (less than 0.01 mg/mL) and other common vehicles used for the 45 parenteral administration of drugs. Certain organic solvents, however, may at least partially dissolve Paclitaxel. However, when a water-miscible organic solvent containing Paclitaxel at near its saturation solubility is diluted with aqueous infusion fluid, the drug may precipitate. The said prior art overcome the stability problem but not overcome the problem of solubility and does not provide any solubility data of Paclitaxel formulation with existing prior art. There are so many several approaches are reported after above-mentioned innovator composition.
EP1585548 discloses pharmaceutical composition a pharmaceutical agent and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprises albumin, wherein the ratio (w/w) of albumin, to the pharmaceutical agent is 1:1 to 9:1, and wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises particles or droplets having a size less than 200 nm, wherein the pharmaceutical agent is selected from taxane, camptothecin, propofol, amiodarone, cyclosporine, amphotericin, levothyroxine, epothilone, colchicine, thyroid hormone, corticosteroid, melatonin, tacrolimus, mycophenolic acid, and derivatives thereof or wherein the pharmaceutical agent is Paclitaxel, docetaxel or rapamycin. Another problem associated with the manufacture of drugs for injection, particularly water insoluble drugs, is the assurance of sterility. Sterile manufacturing of drug emulsions/dispersions can be accomplished by absolute sterilization of all the components before manufacture, followed by absolutely aseptic technique in all stages of manufacture. However, such methods are time consuming and expensive. In addition, the oxidation of drug formulations by exposure to air during manufacture or storage can lead to, for example, reduced pH, drug degradation, and discoloration, thereby destabilizing the drug formulation and/or reducing shelf life. Hence, it is need to develop a new suspension as well as soft-gelatin type of capsule composition without albumin and also need to develop a suspension which is resolved prior art problem without using iodized oil, vegetable oil and animal oil and it will be administered orally.
Korean Patent Publication Nos. KR20040009015 and KR20070058776 disclose method of preparing composition of oral solubilizing of conventional Paclitaxel is refrigerated in semi-solid form. In case of use, the solution is converted to solution form and administered orally. However, the composition refrigerated in semi-solid form does not convert into a solution at room temperature and still exists in semi-solid form even after long standing. Therefore, there is a problem in that additional treatment through heating is required to switch to a solution state that can be administered to a patient.
There is a need, therefore, for formulations comprising paclitaxel, derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof that can deliver therapeutically effective amounts of paclitaxel and derivatives thereof that overcome the disadvantages caused by paclitaxel's insolubility and the disadvantages of intravenous delivery.
Although the prior arts disclose different types of compositions which address the solubility, stability, patients’ compliance issues of Paclitaxel. It was facing that in clinical trial timing patients’ compliance. In addition, many of these physical property like solubility enhancing techniques involve critical and tedious manufacturing process, make use of many excipients or are modified according to the specific physicochemical characteristics of Paclitaxel.
Hence, the inventors of the present invention felt that still there is an unmet need to develop a dosage form of Oral Paclitaxel, which overcome the drawbacks of prior available formulations, has good physical , increase stability and get the clear solution in comparison with oral liquid Solution, solubility, is cost effective, is eliminate side effects, can be produced by simple manufacturing techniques and can maximize the its physical property, which is like e.g. solubility of Paclitaxel from such oral liquid dosage form and thereby improve its bioavailability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:
The following detailed description of the present subject matter the various embodiments. These embodiments are described in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the present subject matter. Other embodiments may be utilized and structural, logical, and electrical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present subject matter.
References to “an”, “one”, or “various” embodiments in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references contemplate more than one embodiment. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of legal equivalents to which such claims are entitled.
Paclitaxel, chemically known as, 5ß,20¬ Epoxy-1,2a,4,7ß,10ß,13a-hexahydroxytax-11-en-9-one 4,10-diacetate 2-benzoate 13-ester with (2R,3S)-N-benzoyl-3¬ phenylisoserine, is a small molecule microtubule inhibitor having molecular weight of 853.91 g per mol. Paclitaxel is considered a member of the class of tetracyclic di-terpenoid derivative drug substance due to low aqueous solubility at neutral pH. The mean Paclitaxel is a drug with very much low solubility.
Oral Bioavailability:
In general, an oral formulation is preferred because of the distinct advantages over other methods of administration, in particular intravenous administration. In addition to the flexibility of treatment, the higher rate of compliance and the convenience and ease of administration associated with the elimination of hospital and physician supervision, oral formulations often create a substantial cost savings. However, many pharmaceutical formulations cannot be effectively administered orally because of the poor bioavailability of the active compounds as a result of low absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. Consequently, these active ingredients tend to be administered intravenously or intramuscularly. One such active ingredient that is not administered orally due to its poor bioavailability is paclitaxel.
Further, bioavailability is affected by cell surface proteins present in the gastrointestinal system, such as P-glycoproteins which can reduce gastrointestinal absorption of compounds in the gastrointestinal system. More specifically, they can prevent certain pharmaceutical active ingredients from being passed through the mucosal cells of the small intestines. As a result, the active ingredient is prevented from entering the bloodstream and is thus unable to be utilized. There is a need, therefore, for formulations that can orally deliver compounds, such as paclitaxel, despite its poor solubility, stability and bioavailability and despite the activity of P-glycoproteins.
Further evidence suggests that particle size plays a significant role in the absorption of a pharmaceutical ingredient into the gastrointestinal tract. As such, there is a need for a paclitaxel formulation which upon dilution into the gastric fluid remains dissolved or maintains a sufficiently small particle size.
There is currently no commercially available oral formulation with good bioavailability of paclitaxel in India. To solve this problem existed in the prior-art the inventors of the present invention have developed novel oral formulation of Paclitaxel. The invention of the present application solves problem like patient compliance owing to better physical property like solubility and with good bioavailability in comparison with the existing marketed formulations as well as prior-arts.
