BIOAVAILABLE DOSAGE FORM OF ISOTRETINOIN
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The présent invention relates to a bioavailable pharmaceutical 5 composition of 13-cis vitamin A acid (also known as 13-cis retinoic acid andisotretinoin) and a process for preparing the same. 13-cis vitamin A acid is arelatively water insoluble compound that dégradés when exposed to light andatmospheric oxygen. Due to its instability and relative insolubility, thebioavailability of the drug after oral administration is difficult to achieve and 10 has always been a challenge to a development pharmacist. It would thereforebe désirable to provide a dosage form in which the drug is stable andpredictably bioavailable.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION U.S. Patent No. 4,464,394 assigned to Hoffman LaRoche Inc. 15 discloses compositions and methods of using 13-cis vitamin A acid againstthe development of epithélial carcinomas of the skin, gastrointestinal tract,respiratory tract or genrto-urinary tract. However, only a general description ofthe composition is given in this patent and no data on the bioavailability of theactive ingrédient in the composition is disclosed. 20 European Patent No. 184942 assigned to Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp. discloses pharmaceutical compositions having not more than 22% waxcontent which is a critical limitation of this patent, as higher wax content tendsto diminish the bioavailability. The partie,e size of the drug is also reduced toless than 12pm prior to its incorporation into the formulation. Said objectives 1 1 2008 of the bioavailability are achieved by controlling the particle size and the waxcontent. As 13-cis vitamin A may cause decreased night vision and cornealopacities at higher concentrations, its micronization in the powder State canbe hazardous as this involves a lot of dry powder handling. Further, handling 5 of isotretinoin at room température under atmospheric oxygen can lead to itsdégradation, as it is a highly unstable drug.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the présent invention to solve the problems associatedwith the prior art and to provide a process which uses conditions thaï are 10 convenient to perform on a commercial scale and are operationally safe.
More particularly, the présent invention relates to a process of makingbioavailable capsule formulation of 13-cis vitamin A acid comprising the stepsof (a) mixing the drug with the carrier to form the médicament paste (b) millingthe médicament paste to achieve a particle size less than 300 pm, and (c) 15 mixing the milled médicament paste with the suspending agent, and optionallywith carrier material and other pharmaceuticaliy acceptable excipients.
It is observed that the particle size is critical in achieving the bio-equivaience against the commercially available marketed formulation ofisotretinoin sold under the trade name of "Accutane". In preferred 20 embodiments of the invention, the particle size of 13-cis vitamin A acid in themédicament paste is less than 275 μιτι. The surface area of the drug in themédicament paste varies between 0.05 - 0.3 sq m/g. The medicated paste ismilled using any of the conventionally known techniques, such as bail mlll,colloid mill etc. 2 1 2008
The carrier material used in accordance with the présent invention maybe selected from the group consisting of peanut oïl, soyabean oïl, sesame oil,minerai oil, cotton seed oil, polyethylene glycol and mixtures thereof.
The suspending agent used in accordance with the présent invention is5 a wax mixture comprising 1 part hydrogenated soyabean oil, 1.2 parts whitewax and 4.2 parts hydrogenated vegetable oil. The suspending agent is usedin amounts of more than 30% of the formulation. More preferably, thesuspending agent is used in amounts between 30-40% w/w of the formulation.
The formulation of the présent invention may further contain suitable10 pharmaceutical excipients such as anti-oxidants and chelating agents.
The anti-oxidant employed in the présent invention may be selectedfrom the group consisting of α-tocopherol, butyiated hydroxyanisole (BHA),butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), ascorbyl palmitate and propyi gallate.Chelating agents may be chosen amongst disodium edetate and calcium 15 disodium edetate.
Investigations were conducted in order to détermine the effect ofparticle size on the bioavailability of 13-cis vitamin A acid in the formulationsof this invention. The blood levels of the drug were compared with that of thecommercially available formulation of 13-cis vitamin A acid sold as a soft 20 gelatin capsule, under the trade name of "Accutane". The area under theplasma concentration (13-cis vitamin A acid) vs. time curve (AUC) wasdetermined between time "0" and time "t" to give the AUC(0-t) values and wasthen extrapolated to infinity («> ) to calculate the value till there was no moredrug in the plasma. This value is reported as AUC^j. The maximum plasma 3 1 2008 concentration (Cmax) was also determined for each subject after each treatment.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The following examples further illustrate the invention but are not5 intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Soft gelatin capsules were prepared as described in Table 1.
Table 1
Amount (mg) Isotretinoin 40 Wax mixture* 97.86 Butylated hydroxytoluene 0.032 Disodium edetate 0.160 Soyabean oil 181.0 Total 320.0 * The wax mixture was composed of hydrogenated soyabean oil> white 10 wax and hydrogenated vegetable oil in the ratio of 1:1.2:4.2.
Isotretinoin was mixed with soyabean oil to form a 25% dispersion ormedicated paste. The medicated paste was milled and the particle size of thedrug in the paste following milling was determined. The remaining amount ofthe carrier material (soyabean oil), wax mixture and other ingrédients were 15 then added to the milled medicated paste and mixed with stining. Theformulation so prepared was used to study the effect of particle size on thebioavailability of the drug keeping ail the other formulation parametersconstant. 4 1 2008 EXAMPLE 1
The particle size of the drug in the medicated paste was 90% less than240 pm and 50% less than 118 pm. The surface area of the drug in the pastevaried between 0.06 - 0.13 sq m/g. 5 This formulation was subjected to a two way cross over bioequivalence study with Accutane (which was the référencé product). Seventeen normal,male subjects were enrolled in each study. Whole blood samples were drawnat selected times following each treatment. Biood levels of the drug for bothtest and référencé were determined and compared for the two critical 10 parameters of AUC and Cmax. (Table 1.1). Test is the formulation madeaccording to the présent invention and référencé is the formulation of 13-cisVitamin A acid sold under the trade name of "Accutane''.
Table 1.1 AUC (o_t) AUC (o-«} Cmax (pg/ml) Test/Reference (%) 110 108 107.8 15 EXAMPLE 2
Keeping ail the other parameters constant, the average particle size ofthe drug in the medicated paste was increased to 90% below 276 pm and50% below 169 pm and its surface area was between 0.05 - 0.18 sq. m/g.
This formulation was subjected to a bioequivalence study on 1920 healthy, male subjects. Blood samples were drawn at selected intervalsfollowing each treatment, the plasma samples were assayed for 13-cis 5 1 2008
Vitamin A acid to détermine the AUC and Cmax as compared to "Accutane".
The resuits are shown in Table 2.1.
Table 2.1 AUC (o-t) AUC (ο.») Cmax (pg/ml) Test/Reference (%) 76.72 80.60 84.64 5 EXAMPLE 3
In the next experiment the particle size was reduced to study its effecton the bioavailability of the drug when compared with "Accutane". Theparticle size of the drug in the medicated paste was reduced to 90% beiow131 pm and 50% below 52.4pm. The surface area was around 0.20 sq. m/g. 10 Bioequivalence study was carried on 19 healthy male subjects and the test / référencé ratios for AUC and Cmax were compared with Accutane asthe référencé product.
Table 3.1 AUC (o-t) AUC (ο-») Cmax (pg/ml) Test/Reference (%) 124.5 126.8 127.0 15 EXAMPLE 4
The particle size of the drug in the medicated paste was 90% less than225 pm and 50% less than 110 pm. The particle size was between 0.09 to0.11 sq m/g. The effect of this particle size on the bioavailability of the drug 20 was determined as described in Example 1 and the test référencé ratios were compared with Accutane as the référencé product (Table 4.1). 6
