Definitions

  • the invention related to a immediate release pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration comprising an effective amount of dexamethasone acetate in an aqueous ,pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and a suspending agent
  • Dexamethasone a corticosteroid ,used in inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, usually formulated into tablets and liquid formulations for oral delivery.
  • Commercially available oral liquid formulations of dexamethasone comprising soluble salts of dexamethasone esters, for example dexamethasone sodium phosphate.
  • dexamethasone sodium phosphate.
  • the bad taste of these solutions .extensively described in the literature ,results in poor patient compliance .
  • the bad taste of dexamethasone and its soluble esters are dose dependent it is a considerable problem for the patient to comply especially in case of therapies require high doses of dexamethasone.
  • the problem is to create a palatable, stable, immediate release oral liquid dosage form of dexamethasone especially when high therapeutic doses of dexamethasone are needed
  • Dexamethasone acetate (the insoluble acetate ester of dexamethasone) has been previously used in formulations for local administration -including ophthalmic formulations-,as well as in parenteral ( intramuscular) formulations , but it has not been previously used in oral liquid formulations for immediate release dosage forms
  • dexamethasone acetate can be used for the preparation of a suspension of dexamethasone ,in which dexamethasone acetate has the attribute to mask the bad and exceptionally bitter taste of dexamethasone .
  • This attribute becomes perceptible particular when high doses of the said active ingredient are needed to be administered.
  • specific excipients that are known to the skilled person it can be prepared a immediate release ,stable formulation ,with components mutually compatible and stable during the shelf life of the product as it is determined from the rules governing the medicinal products for human use.
  • Dexamethasone acetate possess specific advantages compared to other dexamethasone esters for this specific purpose a) Immediate release of the active ingredient dexamethasone in the low pH of the gastric fluids (1-2), according to the literature b) Low solubility. Dexamethasone acetate does not dissolved in the aqueous conditions of the mouth cavity, and the interactions between the bitter molecule of dexamethasone and the taste buds of the tongue are prevented.
  • the formulation of the present invention is a palatable, oral aqueous suspension of dexamethasone in which dexamethasone is in the form of the its acetate ester and in concentration between about 0.4 mg/ml to about 40 mg/ml , more preferably between 0.4 mg/ml to about 10mg/ml,more preferably 4 mg/ml
  • the present invention is an aqueous suspension in which dexamethasone is dispersed in a medium-vehicle, that comprised mainly from water and may include propylene glycol and glycerin .
  • Dexamethasone acetate is evenly dispersed in the liquid aqueous vehicle.
  • the suspension has homogeneity so the active ingredient is uniformly dispersed, but undissolved in the vehicle-aqueous medium.
  • the medium can also comprise other pharmaceutical excipients that are mutually compatible at room temperature and they can form a pharmaceutically acceptable oral liquid preparation.
  • the aqueous vehicle serves as the external phase for the suspensions.
  • the vehicle may comprised of water ,glycerin , propylene glycol and mixtures there of.
  • the water comprising from about 30 to about 70% of the vehicle.
  • Glycerin may comprise up to 50 % of the vehicle.
  • the vehicle may also contain propylene glycol up to 20% of the vehicle.
  • Purified water that is the main ingredient of the vehicle component, comprising from about 30 to about 70% (w/w) of the formulation.
  • Water concentration is about 30% to 40% (w/w) in the final formulation
  • the particle size is very important for the bio availability of the product .
  • the active surface area is increased and the dissolution time is also increased .
  • the increased surface area may result in some agglomeration affecting the stability of the suspension or increase the oxidation and hydrolysis of the active compound resulting in faster degradation of dexamethasone.
  • Dexamethasone acetate of the inventive formulation has a median particle size of l ⁇ m to about 30 ⁇ m, more preferably about 3 ⁇ m to about 15 ⁇ m .
  • the particle size can be achieved using established methods well known to the skilled person like air jet milling, ball milling, mortal milling or any other approved method to decrease the particle size.
  • dexamethasone acetate particles of the disclose formulation were micronised using Jet Mil 50 (Jet Pharma S.A.)
  • the viscosity may be about 80 to about 2000 cps ,more preferably about 100 to about 500 cps,most preferably about 100 to 150cps.
  • the active ingredient particles maybe crystals that neither dissolve or grow substantially when the sample is heated to 45 0 C and cooled to room temperature repeatedly
  • the size of the particles may be measured using light scattering device ,sedimentation methods, or any other methods known to the skilled person .
  • Pharmaceutical excipients are pharmaceutically approved components of virtually all the pharmaceutical formulations. Excipients serve many different and wide purposes during the process of formulation as well as in the final formulation it self.
  • the inventive pharmaceutical suspension may comprise at least one of the additional component excipient selected form the following groups of excipients: surface active agents ,dispersing agents , sweetening agents, flavoring agents, coloring agents, buffers, salts, preservatives, oily vehicles, wetting agents, demulcents, spreading agents, stabilizers, antioxidants, antibiotic ,antifungal agents .
  • Poloxamer 188 found to be effective , in concentrations at about 0.05 to 0.5% without create excessive foaming and without alter the taste of the inventive composition .
  • Spreading agents like maltitol, mannitol, polyethylene glycol, and sorbitol can be added to the vehicle components in order to adjust the spreadability of the final suspension.
  • the present embodiment of the invention and due to the low concentration of Xantham Gum and the low viscosity of the suspension there is no need to adjust spreadability .Notwithstanding the use of such spreading agents cannot be excluded in other embodiments of the present invention where the higher viscosity could be higher.
  • sorbitol and mannitol also serve as an immediate on set sweetener and for this purpose used also in the present invention. In the present embodiment it has been used sorbitol solution 70% (w/w) in concentration less than 20% (w/w) ,even more less than 15%(w/w),to about 10 to 15% (w/w) of the final formulation
  • the suspension of the present invention may contain EDTA.
  • EDTA is a chelating agent that creates stable complexes with metals ions (alkaline earth , mainly Ca 2+ and Zn 2+ ) . The involvement of these metals in traces in catalyzing the auto oxidation, is an obvious possibility and has been reported in the literature.
  • EDTA is useful as an antioxidant, sequestering metal ions that otherwise catalyze autoxidation reactions. E.D.T.A. can also be serve as a preservative.
  • the stability of the suspension can be increased by the incorporation in the suspension a small amount of nitrogen- containing compound , such as niacinamide, creatinine and derivatives there of , like n-methylcreatinine .
