Description

SUSTAINED RELEASE PHARMACEUTICAL DOSAGE FORMS WITH MINIMIZED pH DEPENDENT DISSOLUTION PROFILES
This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions. More particularly, this invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions having a pH-independent or a minimized pH-dependent dissolution profile. In particular, such composition includes at least one pharmaceutically active agent that has a pH dependent solubility profile, at least one non-pH-dependent sustained release agent, and at least one pH-dependent agent that increases the dissolution rate of the at least one pharmaceutically active agent at a pH in excess of 5.5. The active agent(s) has (have) a solubility profile wherein the active agent(s) is (are) more soluble in an acidic medium than in a basic medium.
The rate at which a drug goes into solution when it is dissolved in a medium is proportional to the solubility of the drug in the medium. Many drugs have different solubilities at different pHs. These pH-dependent solubility differences lead to pH-dependent dissolution profiles. In general, pH-dependent dissolution is an undesirable product characteristic. Compressed matrix tablets containing a basic drug often give a faster dissolution profile in simulated gastric fluid, having a pH about 1.0, than in simulated intestinal fluid (pH 6.8 to 7.4).
It is an object of the present invention to provide a pharmaceutical composition with a minimized pH dependent or a pH-independent dissolution profile.
In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pharmaceutical composition. The composition comprises at least one pharmaceutically active agent that is pH dependent, at least one non-pH dependent sustained release agent, and at least one pH-dependent agent that increases the rate of release of the at least one pharmaceutically active agent from the tablet at a pH in excess of 5.5, such as at least one organic acid that maintains an acidic micro- environment in the tablet.
Pharmaceutically active agents which are pH dependent and which may be included in the composition include, but are not limited to, weakly basic drugs and their salts that have higher solubilities at lower pH levels.

The dissolution data was determined as follows:
A Vankel dissolution tester (VanKel Industries, Edison, N.J.) was used for all dissolution studies. The apparatus was calibrated according to USP23. The dissolution in 0.1N hydrochloric acid (pH 1.2) or pH 6.8 phosphate buffer was tested using the paddle method (USP Apparatus II), employing 500 ml of dissolution medium at a temperature of 37°C and an agitation rate of 50 rpm. Samples at specific time points were removed and filtered through a 35 μm filter. The filtered samples were kept in screw cap glass test tubes until analysis. An HPLC system comprised of an autosampler and a pump and a UN detector was used for sample analysis. 50μl of the dissolution samples were injected directly on the HPLC C18 column using a mixture of acetonitrile and acetate buffer (20:80) as the mobile phase.
The dissolution data are given in Table 2 below.

Example 3
The solubility of anagrelide HCl in aqueous solutions in the pH range of 1 to 11.4 at
25°C was determined. The solubility-pH profile of anagrelide HCl is shown in Figure 1. Below pH 3, the solubility increased as the pH decreased which is consistent with formation of a more soluble protonated form. At pH 0.96 the solubility was 236 mcg/mL. Above pH 4, the solubility was independent of pH and remained constant (ca. 1.2 mcg/mL) up to pH 8. Above pH 8, the solubility increased with increasing pH which is due to the ionization of the quinazoline moiety. The solubility at pH 11.4 was 992 mcg/mL.
Formulations I through IN were formulated according to the procedure described in Example 1, except that anagrelide HCl has been substituted for guanfacine HCl.
The formulations are given in Table 4 below. Table 4

Example 5
Formulations 1, 2, and 3, were prepared, which had the following components in the following amounts, as shown in Table 7 below. TABLE 7
The purpose of this example was to assess the bioavailability of three anagrelide HCl extended release tablet formulationsFormulation 1 Formulation 2Formulation 3, compared to an immediate release anagrelide HCl formulation (Agrylin®, Lot No. RPA 0002A), following a 1 mg dose, and to determine the safety and tolerability of the extended release formulations in healthy volunteers.
The extent of absorption of each drug (AUC0-t) the maximum concentration of drug in plasma (Cmax), and the time of the maximum concentration (Tmax) were evaluated.
The mean plasma concentrations for anagrelide following administration of a single 1 mg dose of Agrylin®, or the anagrelide HCl extended release Formulations 1, 2, or 3, are given in Figure 2.
The corresponding pharmacokinetic parameters for each formulation are given in Table 8 below. Table 8 Mean Pharmacokinetic Parameters for Anagrelide
All three experimental formulations exhibited extended release characteristics for drug delivery. The extent of absorption of anagrelide from the experimental formulations relative to immediate-release Agrylin® (ratio of test-to-reference) was 58%, 53% and 64% for the Formulations 1, 2 and 3, respectively.
A measure of the extent of delay in release of active pharmaceutical ingredient of the experimental formulations was the time to reach maximum concentration (Tmax) values observed for anagrelide. The Tmax values were approximately 2 hours later than that observed for
Agrylin®, demonstrating about a 2.6-fold delay in time to reach Cmax for the three extended release formulations compared with the immediate-release Agrylin®. Furthermore, the length of time at which the anagrelide plasma concentration remained above -tCmax (Twidth ' zCmax) was approximately two- to three-fold greater for the extended release formulations than the immediate release formulation, demonstrating good extended release characteristics.
No serious adverse events were reported. One subject discontinued due to an adverse event (head cold) considered not related to study drug. There were a total of 46 adverse events (AEs) experienced by eleven (11) subjects. The most frequently reported events (>5%), included asthenia, headache, somnolence, and dizziness, and were not unexpected. These events have
been reported frequently by the target patient population at large receiving Agrylin® for the treatment of thrombocythemia secondary to all myeloproliferative disorders. Treatment emergent AEs are summarized in Table 9. Table 9 Treatment Emergent AEs
The data would indicate that adverse events (AEs) observed in subjects following dosage with the extended release formulation were not as prevalent as AEs observed following the
immediate release formulation (Agrylin®). More than 50% of the reported AEs were observed
following Agrylin R administration. The number of adverse events following administration of
the new extended release formulations were 8/46 (17%) for Formulation 1, 9/46 (20%) for Formulation 2, and 4/46 (9%) for Formulation 3 compared to 25/46 (54%) for the marketed
Agrylin®. The incidence of subjects reporting adverse events for the new extended-release
formulations (4/12 (33%), 6/12 (50%), and 2/12 (17%) for Formulations 1, 2, and 3, respectively) also were substantially lower than the incidence observed in the Agrylin® group (10/12 (83%)). The number and percentage of subjects reporting adverse events are presented in Table 10.
Table 10 Treatment Emergent Adverse Events per Treatment Group
With respect to clinical laboratory and physical examination findings, statistically
significant (p<0.01) increases in pulse compared with baseline were observed with Agrylin® at 2, 4, and 24 hours post dose. Significant increases were observed at 24 hours post dose for Formulations 1 and 3. Only Agrylin® showed a statistically significant changed from baseline
for blood pressure (i.e. at 24 hours post dose for diastolic blood pressure).
It is to be understood, however, that the scope of the present invention is not to be limited to the specific embodiments described above. The invention may be practiced other than as particularly described and still be within the scope of the accompanying claims.
