Abstract
A pharmaceutical composition suitable for use with a metered dose inhaler (MDI) comprises; (i) a drug component comprising at least one pharmaceutically acceptable salt of glycopyrrolate; and (ii) a propellant component comprising 1,1-difluoroethane (HFA-152a). Preferably, the glycopyrrolate is present as the bromide salt. Preferably, the composition further comprises at least one long acting beta-2-agoinst (LABA) (e.g. indacaterol, olodaterol, formoterol, vilanterol). Preferably, the composition additionally comprises at least one corticosteroid (e.g. budesonide, mometasone, beclomethasone, fluticasone). Preferably, the composition additionally comprises at least one surfactant compound (e.g. polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG), oleic acid, lecithin). Preferably, the composition contains less than 5 ppm water. In preferred embodiments the propellant is entirely HFA-152a. The composition may contain ethanol as a polar excipient. Also claimed is a method of improving the stability of a pharmaceutical composition comprising propellant and glycopyrrolate through use of HFA-152a as propellant.
Description
I, Copley Scientific, Nottingham UK) was connected to a vacuum pump (GE Motors, NJ, USA). Prior to testing, the cups of the NGI system were coated with 1 % v/v silicone oil in hexane to eliminate particle bounce. For each experiment, three actuations of the valve were discharged into the NGI at 30 L.mlrr as per pharmacopeia guidelines. Following aerosolization, the NGI apparatus was dismantled and the actuator and each part of the NGI was washed down Into known volumes of the HPLC mobile phase. The mass of drug deposited on each part of the NGI was determined by HPLC. This protocol was repeated three times for each canister, following which, the fine partible dose (FPD) and ffoe particle fraction of the emitted dose (FPFsn) were determined.
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine drug content following aerosolteafipn studies (see below). A 250 mm x 4,6mm Hypersii ODS Ci» column with a 5 pm particle size (Fisher, Loughborough) or an equivalent was used for the analysis of fluticasone propionate, A 50 mm x 4.6 mm Necieosii 100 - 3 C«s HD column with a & pm particle size or ah equivalent was used for the analysis of glycopyrrohium bromide and indacatarol.
The columns were coupled to a UV detector operating at a wavelength of either 220 nm or235 nm depending on which drug was being analysed. The autosarapier was operated at ambient temperature and 100 pi samples were injected Info the column for the analyses:. The ehromatographlc conditions are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
| Drug | Pump Flow Rat© (mimin'1) | Mobile Phase | UV Wavelength (nm) | Column Temperature (°C) |
| Fluticasone Propionate | 1,5 | Methanol, acetonitrile and water - 45:35:20 v/v | 235 | 40 |

* Buffer is aqueous Iriethylamine/NajHPQ.vH^PO/i at pH 2.5 26
The composition of the mobile phase: was varied as shown in Table 3 below,

it Is dear from the data in Tables 4 and S above that the fine particle dose and the fine particle fraction of the emitted dose are sig nif lea π fly higher when HFA~l52a is used as the: propellant as opposed to HFA-134a for all three drugs in the combination drug formulation. This represents an Increase in the useful medication delivery dose. This improved performance is also observed even after stress storage for 1 month at 40'C and 75 % relative humidity
In contrast to the HrA-134a formulations: where ail of the drugs achieve a fine particle fraction of around: 39%, the HFA~i52 a formulations deliver a fine particle fraction of 45% to 50%, Thus, HFA-152a provides a dramatically more effective and efficient delivery of all three drugs with the significant benefits of reducing the amount of medication used to: deliver an effective therapeutic dose, reducing the cost of treatment and reducing the potential for systemic absorption: of the drugs: through the mouth and digestive tract resulting in adverse effects in the patient,
Furthermore., whilst the MMAD of the HFA-134a based formulations range from around 2.6um for giycopyrronlum bromide to 4.8pm for indadaterdi, the particles delivered by HFA-152a have broadly equivalent sizes in the range of from 2,9pm: to 3,5pm. This greater uniformity of particle size across the three drugs is extremely important In ensuring that all three drugs are delivered in the correct ratios to target lung tissue. Disparities in particle size can lead to non-uniform delivery with differential drug deposition and with consequential reduced therapeutic synergy between the drugs. Thus, the data Indicates that HFA-152a acts to minimise the extent of parti ole aggregation both for a particular drug and:
between the different drugs.
