    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising bimatoprost.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Description of Related Art
  • Bimatoprost, shown below, is a prostamide marketed commercially for the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension.
  • Figure US20160250225A1-20160901-C00001
  • Benzalkonium chloride (BAK) is a preservative used in many commercial ophthalmic products to prevent microbial contamination in multi-use products. The commercial eye drops (Bimatoprost, Allergan, Inc., Irvine, Calif.) contain 0.03% bimatoprost and 0.005% BAK. Although no other prostamides are currently marketed for the treatment of glaucoma, several prostaglandin analogs are commercially available which use BAK as a preservative. These include latanoprost (Xalatan), travoprost (Travatan), and unoprostone isopropyl (Rescula), which require significantly more BAK, from 150-200 ppm, to meet antimicrobial effectiveness tests in the United States and Europe.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 6,596,765 B2 discloses a composition comprising 0.005% or 0.0005% latanoprost and 0.2 mg/mL BAK.

  • Certain compositions comprise from 150 to 250 ppm BAK and an effective amount of EDTA.

    • EXAMPLE 2
  • Studies were carried out to determine the effect of benzalkonium chloride (BAK) and d-alpha tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) on ocular absorption of bimatoprost in vivo. For the in vivo study, eighteen female rabbits were given a single 28 μL eyedrop bilaterally and aqueous humor samples were collected (n=3 animals with 6 eyes per formulation) at 60 min postdose. Two rabbits (4 eyes) remained untreated to serve as pre-dose bioanalytical controls. Bimatoprost and its parent carboxylic acid extracted from aqueous humor and in vitro samples were analyzed by a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with a quantitation range of 0.25-60 ng/mL.
  • Due to extensive metabolism of bimatoprost in rabbit eyes, its parent acid was used as a surrogate for determining ocular absorption of bimatoprost. Concentration of the acid in rabbit aqueous humor following single dose of 6 different bimatoprost formulations are summarized in FIG. 1 and Table 2 below.

    aMean ± SD. Per formulation, N = 3 rabbits (6 eyes).
    *Statistically different (p < 0.05) compared to 0.03% Bimatoprost
  • Test formulations containing 0.015%, 0.2%, 0.4% and 1.0% TPGS resulted in a lower aqueous humor carboxylic acid concentration compared to Bimatoprost by 52%, 59%, 62% and 72%, respectively. In contrast, 0.03% Bimatoprost containing 200 ppm BAK resulted in 57% higher aqueous humor AGN 191522 concentration compared to Bimatoprost (50 ppm BAK).
  • While not intending to limit the scope of the invention in any way, or be bound by theory, compared to the Bimatoprost control, formulations containing TPGS resulted in decrease bimatoprost permeability. In contrast, formulations with higher BAK resulted in higher permeability.

  • The effect of benzalkonium chloride (BAK) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) on bimatoprost permeability across primary culture of rabbit corneal epithelial cell layers (RCECL). Corneal epithelial cells were harvested from New Zealand White rabbits and cultured on Transwell™ filters until confluency (Day 5). For the transport experiment, cells were first equilibrated in transport buffer for 1 hour at 37° C. Dosing solution containing 0.015% or 0.03% bimatoprost with varying concentrations of BAK and EDTA was then applied to the apical compartment of the Transwell™ (2 cultures; n=3-4 per culture) and the cells were incubated at 37° C. At 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes postdose, 200 μL samples were taken from the basolateral chamber for apical to basolateral (AB) transport. The samples were analyzed by a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with quantitation range of 1-600 ng/mL.
  • The results are presented in FIG. 2.
    • EXAMPLE 5
  • A drop of formulation J is administered once daily topically to the eye of a person suffering from glaucoma. After a few hours, intraocular pressure drops more and less hyperemia is observed than would be observed for formulation A. Lowered intraocular pressure persists for as long as the treatment continues.
