DESC:STABLE LIQUID COMPOSITIONS OF DAPTOMYCIN

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous liquid composition comprising, daptomycin or its acceptable salt thereof at a concentration of 26mg/mL or above, chelating agents, and/or glacial acetic acid and calcium hydroxide to stabilize the composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Daptomycin, a cyclic lipopeptide antibacterial agent derived from the fermentation of Streptomyces roseosporus. Daptomycin is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE). It was discovered in the early 1980s, at Eli Lilly and Company. Daptomycin was initially developed in the late 1980s and early 1990s but was ultimately shelved due to concerns regarding adverse effects, in particular drug-induced myopathy.
Daptomycin is approved as Cubicin® and Cubicin® RF to Cubist Pharmaceuticals. CUBICIN is supplied in a single-dose vial as a sterile, preservative-free, pale yellow to light brown, lyophilized cake containing approximately 500 mg of daptomycin for intravenous (IV) use following reconstitution with 0.9% sodium chloride injection.
CUBICIN is supplied in single-dose vials, each containing 500 mg daptomycin as a sterile, lyophilized powder. The contents of a CUBICIN vial should be reconstituted, using aseptic technique, to 50 mg/mL. This 50mg/mL of the drug is given either as an intravenous injection for 2 minutes for adults or intravenous infusion over 30 minutes in 0.9% sodium chloride.
To obtain 50mg/mL concentration, the 500mg/vial is reconstituted with 10mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, further to administer as IV infusion, this 50mg/mL concentrate should be further diluted, into a 50 mL IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection. During this reconstitution procedure precaution and extra care has to be taken as to avoid foaming as the drug degrades if foam is formed. This can be done by avoiding vigorous agitation of the vial, slowly transfer 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection through the centre of the rubber stopper into the CUBICIN vial, pointing the transfer needle toward the wall of the vial. Ensure that all of the CUBICIN powder is wetted by gently rotating the vial. Allow the wetted product to stand undisturbed for 10 minutes and gently rotate or swirl the vial contents for a few minutes, as needed, to obtain a completely reconstituted solution.
Cubicin® RF is supplied in single-dose vials, each containing 500 mg daptomycin as a sterile, lyophilized powder. The contents of a CUBICIN® RF vial should be reconstituted, within the vial only with either sterile water for injection or bacteriostatic water for injection to 50 mg/mL. To obtain 50mg/mL concentration, the 500mg/vial is reconstituted with 10 mL of sterile water for injection or bacteriostatic water for injection, further to administer as IV infusion, this 50mg/mL concentrate should be further diluted, into a 50 mL IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection. The appropriate volume of the reconstituted CUBICIN RF (concentration of 50 mg/mL) should be further diluted, using aseptic technique, into a 50 mL IV infusion bag containing 0.9% sodium chloride injection.
The above reconstituted and diluted solution are given as IV concentrate for 2 minutes to adults, infusion of over 30 minutes to adults and infusion of over 30/60 minutes to paediatrics at varying infusion rates. The marketed lyophilized products are having too many tedious steps of reconstitution, dilution and precautions have to be taken at each and every step to avoid foaming, and if foaming occurs the solution will get degraded.
US pat. no. 9138456 discloses Cubicin RF composition, it covers a solid daptomycin composition, wherein said composition is prepared by lyophilizing an aqueous daptomycin solution comprising daptomycin and sucrose.
To avoid the above intricacies, few new compositions have been developed, US pat. no. 8431539 B2 discloses a long term storage stable daptomycin-containing composition, comprising, daptomycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a concentration of less than or equal to about 25 mg/mL, buffer having an acidic functional group such as: ADA (N-(2-acetamido)-2-iminodiacetic acid), PIPES (piperazine-N,N'-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)); calcium hydroxide, wherein the above composition has less than 10% total impurities after about 18 months of storage at a temperature of from about 5° C. to about 25° C.
WO/2016/59592 A1 discloses a stable, non-aqueous and ready-to-use injectable composition of a peptide drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a co-crystal thereof comprising, a peptide drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a co-crystal thereof; wherein the said peptide drug is other than bivalirudin; a non-aqueous solvent system such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, glycerol and polyethylene glycol or a mixture thereof; optionally a polyol is selected from the group consisting of glycerin, sucrose, lactose, glucose, fructose, arabinose, xylose, ribose, mannose; optionally a pH adjusting agent; and optionally an antioxidant selected from butylated hydroxytoluene, sodium metabisulphite, acetylcysteine, ascorbyl palmitate, butylated hydroxyanisole, monothioglycerol, potassium nitrate, ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate, sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate, sodium bisulfite, vitamin E.
WO/2016/059587 A1 discloses a stable, non-aqueous and ready-to-use injectable composition of a peptide drug or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a co-crystal thereof comprising a pharmaceutical active agent or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a co-crystal thereof; a non-aqueous solvent system; optionally a polyol; optionally a pH adjusting agent; and optionally an antioxidant.
Further considering peptide chemistry and characterisation of impurities of daptomycin, it has been evaluated and impurity profile has been disclosed. The main impurities include 3 fermentation process related impurities and three degradation products namely anhydro-daptomycin, ß-aspartyl isomer and lactone hydrolysis product of daptomycin. The main degradants of daptomycin are the hydrolysis product of daptomycin, the ß-isomer of daptomycin and anhydro-daptomycin. The hydrolysis product (ring opening compound) appears as the main impurity at a Relative Retention Time (RRT) of about 0.66, the ß-isomer of daptomycin appears as the main impurity at an RRT of about 0.97 and anhydro daptomycin appears as the main impurity at an RRT of about 1.1.
Considering the above intricacies and challenges of product development, the inventors of present invention surprisingly found ways to stabilize the daptomycin in aqueous liquid composition without compromising on the stability aspects to give a stable composition of daptomycin.

Inventors of this invention have studied that pH of this composition plays an important role in stabilizing the composition. Hence pH is maintained at about 4.5 to about 8.5, for example, pH is between about 5.0 to about 7.0; for example, between about 5.5 to about 6.5.
In one embodiment, the compositions of daptomycin having a concentration of about 26mg/ml and above comprises of 10% or less impurities or related substances, to obtain a stable composition by maintaining the pH of the composition.
In an embodiment the composition comprises of daptomycin, calcium hydroxide, optionally antioxidant, glacial acetic acid, water for injection.

The proposed compositions can be presented in ampoules, vials, prefilled syringes made of glass or plastic.
In an embodiment, considering the prior literature as aqueous compositions showed instability, aqueous and non-aqueous compositions were developed to understand the stability.
The above non-aqueous composition F1 was developed and stability study showed that impurity E and beta isomer highly increased. As the composition was unstable, the compositions were discontinued from further studies.
As non-aqueous compositions were not stable, hence further studies were conducted with aqueous compositions F2. The stability data of composition 2 at accelerated condition for 10 days showed an increase in anhydro-daptomycin impurity at about 1.65%. Considering the stability data, it infers that sodium hydroxide was not suitable for proposed composition. Hence the proposed composition was discontinued from further studies.
In another embodiment, other compositions were tried using sugars, such as mannitol, sucrose, and other excipients.
Composition F3 with sucrose, calcium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. Stability studies were performed and the results showed that anhydro-daptomycin impurity was increased by using hydrochloric acid used as pH adjusting agent. pH was adjusted at 6.90. It is inferred that low concentration of calcium hydroxide and adjusting hydrochloric acid is not stabilizing the composition. Hence further studies were discontinued.
Stability studies with composition F4 were performed and the results showed that the related substances were less as compared with F3 compositions and hence, glacial acetic acid seem to be better than hydrochloric acid as pH adjusting agent, pH was adjusted at 6.90. Anhydro-daptomycin was controlled by using glacial acetic acid. Hence further studies were continued with glacial acetic acid.
Composition F5 were developed comprising sucrose, high concentration of calcium hydroxide and glacial acetic acid. Stability studies indicate that sucrose is not reducing the impurity levels as both lactone hydrolysis product and ß-isomer of daptomycin is increased. Hence sucrose was discontinued from further studies.
Sucrose was replaced with mannitol in composition F6 and pH was adjusted at 6.65. Stability results indicate that ß-isomer of daptomycin impurity increased and related substances also increased. Hence further studies were discontinued.
Calcium hydroxide was replaced with calcium edetate and also acetic acid was not used in this composition F7, sodium hydroxide was used to adjust the pH to 6.65. However, related substances were increased as compared to previous compositions. Hence mannitol was discontinued from further studies.
Considering the above studies, it was inferred that non-aqueous compositions and aqueous compositions with or without sugars were not helping to get a stable composition. Hence inventors of this invention developed other compositions using antioxidants in its compositions and varying the pH of the compositions using glacial acetic acid and calcium hydroxide.
Compositions F8 to F15 were developed to understand the stability, after addition of monothioglycerol as antioxidant and pH of compositions were adjusted from 4.9 to 7.4. Stability data of F8 indicate that ß-isomer of daptomycin and lactone hydrolysis product were increased at stress condition at pH 6.65.
Stability data of F9 indicates that change in pH from 6.65 to 4.9 increases anhydro-daptomycin impurity and also related substances were increased.
Stability data of F10 indicates that at pH 5.4 anhydro-daptomycin impurity was decreased in comparison at pH 4.9, however a slight increase of beta-isomer and anhydro-daptomycin.
Stability data of F11 infers that at pH 6.40 lactone hydrolysis product were increased, however, the related substances were within the limits.
Stability data of F12 infers that at pH 6.90 all 3 major impurities lactone hydrolysis product, ß-isomer and anhydro-daptomycin increased, thereby increasing the related substances as well.
Stability data of F13 infers that at pH 7.40, 2 impurities lactone hydrolysis product, and ß-isomer increased, thereby increasing the related substances also.
Stability data of F14 indicates that compositions at pH 5.90 related substances were relatively less, when compared to the compositions at higher or lower pH. Further composition F15 was studied to understand the composition lacking monothioglycerol, the composition was found to be stable and comparable to the F14 composition.
Considering the above compositions, it was found that aqueous compositions were found to be stable by using stoichiometric ratio of calcium hydroxide and glacial acetic acid. However, lower concentration of calcium hydroxide in F3 & F4 compositions and increase in concentration of calcium hydroxide in F5 to F15 compositions played an important role in adjusting the pH and indirectly stabilizing the compositions.
The proposed composition according to preceding emodiments is used to treat daptomycin sensitive diseases such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin-susceptible
Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis, and Enterococcusfaecalis (vancomycin-susceptible isolates only) in complicated skin infections and bloodstream infections (bacteremia), including rightsided /infective endocarditis and the like.
