Abstract
A sustained release microsphere preparation which is produced by including a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug such as bromperidol, haloperidol or the like into a base composed of a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility such as polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid or the like, and a process for the production thereof. When a long-term administration is required, desired pharmacological effects can be obtained by one injection per 1 to 8 weeks, in stead of daily administration. As the result, considerable improvement in compliance at the time of maintenance therapy can be expected. Also, since a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility is used, surgical operations such as embedding and the like are not required at all, and subcutaneous and intramuscular administrations can be made easily absolutely in the same manner as the case of conventional suspension injections so that recovery of the material is not required. In addition, resistance and pain at the time of administration are small.

SUSTAINED RELEASE MICROSPHERE PREPARATION CONTAINING
ANTIPSYCHOTIC DRUG AND PRODUCTION PROCESS THEREOF
Technical Field This invention relates to a sustained release microsphere preparation which contains a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug and to a production process thereof.
Backqround Art It is said that, in the drug therapy of mental diseases, maintenance therapy by continuous administration is effective in preventing recidivation of symptoms whereby it has come to be possible to guide patients in their daily life. However, since the current maintenance therapy with antipsychotic drugs is carried out by orally administering tablets or fine granules once a day or dividing the daily dose into several doses per day, decreased compliance during the maintenance therapy becomes a cause of recidivation of symptoms or re-hospitalization. Consequently, it has a drawback in that certain means must be employed to improve compliance after rehabilitation or during outpatient maintenance therapy.
In order to resolve this problem, long acting injections containing drugs in the form of decanoic acid ester or enanthic acid ester have been used. For example, decanoic acid esters of haloperidol and bromperidol are disclosed in JP-A-56-8318 (the term "JP-A" as used herein means "unexamined published Japanese Patent Application"), 8 ~ ~
and decanoic acid ester or enanthic acid ester of fluphenazine is also known and used in the therapeutic field.
However, these prior long acting injections have drawbacks in that their administration route is limited to intramuscular injection, resistance at the time of administration is large because they are oil injections while the dispersibility of oil in muscular is small, and their administration gives patients severe pain. In addition, there is a possibility that their effects may vary depending on individuals and ages because, though the ester bodies of active ingredients show a sustained release effect in the living body by gradually releasing their active bodies due to the influence of esterase, release of drugs in the living body generally depends on their transition rate from the administered part into lymphoid system and also on the enzyme activity. Accordingly, it has been demanded to develop new long acting injections in which original drugs themselves are used.
On the other hand, each of JP-A-62-201816, JP-B-1-57087 and JP-B-2-124814 (the term "JP-B" as used herein means llexamined Japanese Patent Publicationl') discloses sustained release microcapsules which make possible to administer water soluble drugs at an interval of once a week or a month and production processes thereof. Also, JP-A-55-33414 discloses a so-called in-water drying method in which a hydrophobic drug and polylactic acid are dissolved in a common organic solvent, the resulting solution is emulsified by adding a phase separation agent and then the solvent is removed by evaporation to obtain fine particles.
Disclosure of the Invention With the aim of improvement in compliance at the time of maintenance therapy with hydrophobic antipsychotic drugs, the present inventors have conducted intensive studies on the development of a sustained release pharmaceutical preparation in which a drug itself is used as an active ingredient without modification. As the result, it was found that a drug can be released at an almost constant rate extending over 1 week or more by including a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug into a base comprising a biodegradable high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility to make a sustained release microsphere preparation and administering it by subcutaneous or intramuscular injection, hence resulting in the accomplishment of the present invention.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to (1) an antipsychotic drug-containing sustained release microsphere preparation which is produced by including a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug into a base comprising a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility and (2) a process for producing an antipsychotic drug-containing sustained release microsphere preparation which comprises making an oil layer comprising a solution of a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility containing a B-. , hydrophobic antipsychotic drug, adding the oil layer to a water layer, subjecting the resulting mixture to an emulsification treatment to obtain an O/W type emulsion and subsequently removing the solvent in the oil layer by in-water drying method.
In another aspect, the present invention provides a process for producing an antipsychotic drug-containing sustained release microsphere preparation having an almost zero order rate of release when administered to a patient in need thereof and having an average particle size of about 0.5 to 400 ~m which comprises making an oil layer comprising a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid and poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid containing a drug selected from the group consisting of fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, carpipramine, clocapramine, mosapramine, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof in a form of microcrystals having an average particle size of about 0.5 to 5 ~m, adding the oil layer to a water layer, subjecting the resulting mixture to an emulsification treatment to obtain an O/W type emulsion and subsequently removing the solvent in the oil layer by an in-water drying method.
The hydrophobic antipsychotic drug to be applied to the present invention is selected from haloperidol, bromperidol, fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, carpipramine, clocapramine, mosapramine, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, preferably from the group consisting of haloperidol, bromperidol, fluphenazine maleate, chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine hibenzoate, sulpiride, carpipramine hydrochloride, carpipramine maleate, clocapramine hydrochloride, mosapramine hydrochloride, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole, of which haloperidol or bromperidol is particularly preferred.
The base that constitutes the sustained release microspheres of the present invention should have such a function that its concentration in blood plasma can be maintained at a constant level by a single administration whereby its effects can be obtained stably over a prolonged period of time. A biodegradable high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility is used as a base having such a function. The sustained release microspheres of the present invention are constructed in the manner that - 4a -C
;
2148~23 the hydrophobic antipsychotic drug is included therein.
Examples of such a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility include polymers of fatty acid esters or copolymers thereof, polyacrylic esters, polyhydroxybutyric acids, polyalkylene oxalates, polyorthoester, polycarbonate and polyamino acids, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Illustrative examples of the polymers of fatty acid esters or copolymers thereof include polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycitric acid, polymalic acid and poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid, which may also be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Another useful examples include poly-a-cyanoacrylic ester, poly-~-hydroxybutyric acid, polytrimethylene oxalate, polyorthoester, polyorthocarbonate, polyethylene carbonate, poly ~-benzyl-L-glutamic acid and poly L-alanine, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Of these polymers, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid or poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid may be used preferably.
These in vi vo histocompatible high molecular weight polymers to be used in the present invention may have an average molecular weight of preferably from about 2,000 to about 80,000, more preferably from about 5,000 to about 20,000. When poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid is used as the in vivo histocompatible high molecular weight polymer, compositional ratio of lactic acid and glycolic acid may be -in the range of from about 100:0 to 50:50, preferably at 75:25 and 50:50.
Although the amount of the high molecular weight polymer(s) is decided by the drug-releasing rate, period and the like, and may be controlled within in a range of from about 0.2 to about 10,000 times by weight of the drug, it is preferred that the high molecular weight polymer is used as the base of the microsphere preparation of the present invention in an amount of from 1 to 1,000 times by weight of the drug.
A solution containing the above high molecular weight polymer (oil layer) is prepared by dissolving the high molecular weight polymer in a solvent. The concentration of the high molecular weight polymer in the oil layer may be in the range of preferably from about 0.5 to about 90% (w/w), more preferably from about 2 to about 60% (w/w).
Examples of the solvent include those which have a boiling point of about 120~C or lower, do not show miscibility with water and can dissolve high molecular weight polymers, such as alkane halides (dichloromethane, chloroform, chloroethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane and the like), ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, cyclohexane, benzene, n-hexane, toluene and the like, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
In the production process of the microsphere preparation, a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug is dissolved or 2l4~823 dispersed in a solution prepared by dissolving a in vivo histocompatible high molecular weight polymer in a solvent to give an oil layer. The thus obtained oil layer is added to a water layer and subjected to an emulsification treatment to prepare an O/W type emulsion. Thereafter, the microsphere preparation is obtained by removing the solvent in the oil layer by means of in-water drying method.
When the oil layer is prepared by dispersing a drug, the drug may be used after making it into fine particles. By the use of microcrystals, the surface of microspheres becomes smooth and the drug release becomes close to O order. Such a releasing capacity close to O order seems to be accomplished due to decrease in the initial releasing rate resulting from the increased interaction between the afore-mentioned high molecular weight polymer and the drug effected by the increased contacting area and due to increase in the releasing rate in the late stage effected by the increased surface area of the drug. The finely ground drug may have a particle size of preferably within a range of 10 ~m or less, more preferably within a range of 5 ~m or less (about 0.1 to about 5 ~m, preferably 0.5 to 5 ~m). Fine particles of the drug can be obtained by usually used means. Examples of such means include jet mill, ball mill, vibrating mill, hammer mill, colloid mill and the like.
In preparing microspheres of the present invention, it is preferable to add an emulsifying agent to the water 2148~)~3 , _ layer, and examples thereof include those which are able to form a stable O/W type emulsion, such as an anionic surfactant (sodium oleate, sodium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate or the like), a nonionic surfactant (a polyoxy-ethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative or the like), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, lecithin, gelatin and the like, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
These agents may be used in a concentration of from about 0.01% to about 20%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 10%.
Removal of the solvent from the oil layer is effected by a conventionally used means (in-water drying method:
Tamotsu Kondo, "Maikurokapuseru-sono kinou to ouyou (Microcapsules, Their Functions And Applications)", p.78, Japanese Standards Association, March 20, 1991). In this method, a solvent is removed by gradually reducing pressure while stirring using a propeller mixer, a magnetic stirrer or the like or by controlling the degree of vacuum using a rotary evaporator or the like.
The thus obtained microspheres are collected by centrifugation or filtration, washed several times with distilled water to remove free drug, the emulsifying agent and the like adhered to the surface of the microspheres and then treated under a reduced pressure, if necessary, with _ 2148~2~
heating, to perfect removal of water and solvent in the microspheres.
If necessary, the thus obtained microspheres are gently ground and screened to remove oversized microspheres.
When used as suspensions for injection use, the particle size of the microspheres may be a range which can satisfy their dispersibility and needle-passing property, for example, in the range of from about 0.5 to about 400 ~m, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 200 ~m, as an average particle size.
The microspheres of the present invention can be made into sustained release injections by preparing an aqueous suspension together with a dispersing agent (polysorbate 80, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate or the like), a preservative (methylparaben, propylparaben, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol or the like) and an isotonic agent (sodium chloride, glycerol, sorbitol, glucose or the like) or by preparing an oily suspension by dispersing the microspheres in a plant oil such as olive oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, cotton oil, corn oil or the like or in propylene glycol or the like. In this instance, in order to lessen resisting feeling at the time of injection, the sustained release microsphere preparation of the present invention may be used preferably in the form of aqueous suspension.
In addition, sustained release injections of microspheres of the present invention can be made into more stable sustained release injections by further mixing the 21~882~
above composition with a filler (mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, glucose or the like), dispersing the mixture and then subjecting the resulting dispersion to freeze drying or spray drying to obtain a solid preparation which is used by adding distilled water for injection use or an appropriate dispersion medium at the time of injection.
Dose of a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug as the active ingredient of the sustained release microsphere preparation of the present invention can be decided depending on each disease to be treated, symptoms and age of each patient and the like, and it may be in the range of generally from S to 5,000 mg, preferably from 10 to 2,000 mg, per adult per administration. Since the pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention releases its active ingredient depending on the hydrolysis of the high molecular weight polymer by water, it shows less individual difference and can be administered by not only intramuscular injection but also subcutaneous injection.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a process for producing an antipsychotic drug-containing sustained release microsphere preparation having an almost zero order rate of release when administered to a patient in need thereof and having an average particle size of about 0.5 to 400 ~m which comprises making an oil layer comprising a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility selected from the group consisting of polylactic acid and poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid containing a drug selected from the group consisting of fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, carpipramine, clocapramine, mosapramine, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole, and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof in a form of microcrystals having an average particle size of about 0.5 to 5 ~m, adding the oil layer to a water layer, subjecting the resulting mixture to an emulsification treatment to obtain an O/W type emulsion and subsequently removing the solvent in the oil layer by an in-water drying method.
The hydrophobic antipsychotic drug to be applied to the present invention is selected from haloperidol, bromperidol, fluphenazine, chlorpromazine, sulpiride, carpipramine, clocapramine, mosapramine, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole and pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, preferably from the group consisting of haloperidol, bromperidol, fluphenazine maleate, chlorpromazine, chlorpromazine hibenzoate, sulpiride, carpipramine hydrochloride, carpipramine maleate, clocapramine hydrochloride, mosapramine hydrochloride, risperidone, clozapine, oranzapine and sertindole, of which haloperidol or bromperidol is particularly preferred.
The base that constitutes the sustained release microspheres of the present invention should have such a function that its concentration in blood plasma can be maintained at a constant level by a single administration whereby its effects can be obtained stably over a prolonged period of time. A biodegradable high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility is used as a base having such a function. The sustained release microspheres of the present invention are constructed in the manner that - 4a -C
;
2148~23 the hydrophobic antipsychotic drug is included therein.
Examples of such a high molecular weight polymer having in vivo histocompatibility include polymers of fatty acid esters or copolymers thereof, polyacrylic esters, polyhydroxybutyric acids, polyalkylene oxalates, polyorthoester, polycarbonate and polyamino acids, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Illustrative examples of the polymers of fatty acid esters or copolymers thereof include polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, polycitric acid, polymalic acid and poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid, which may also be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Another useful examples include poly-a-cyanoacrylic ester, poly-~-hydroxybutyric acid, polytrimethylene oxalate, polyorthoester, polyorthocarbonate, polyethylene carbonate, poly ~-benzyl-L-glutamic acid and poly L-alanine, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more. Of these polymers, polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid or poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid may be used preferably.
These in vi vo histocompatible high molecular weight polymers to be used in the present invention may have an average molecular weight of preferably from about 2,000 to about 80,000, more preferably from about 5,000 to about 20,000. When poly(lactic-co-glycolic)acid is used as the in vivo histocompatible high molecular weight polymer, compositional ratio of lactic acid and glycolic acid may be -in the range of from about 100:0 to 50:50, preferably at 75:25 and 50:50.
Although the amount of the high molecular weight polymer(s) is decided by the drug-releasing rate, period and the like, and may be controlled within in a range of from about 0.2 to about 10,000 times by weight of the drug, it is preferred that the high molecular weight polymer is used as the base of the microsphere preparation of the present invention in an amount of from 1 to 1,000 times by weight of the drug.
A solution containing the above high molecular weight polymer (oil layer) is prepared by dissolving the high molecular weight polymer in a solvent. The concentration of the high molecular weight polymer in the oil layer may be in the range of preferably from about 0.5 to about 90% (w/w), more preferably from about 2 to about 60% (w/w).
Examples of the solvent include those which have a boiling point of about 120~C or lower, do not show miscibility with water and can dissolve high molecular weight polymers, such as alkane halides (dichloromethane, chloroform, chloroethane, dichloroethane, trichloroethane and the like), ethyl acetate, ethyl ether, cyclohexane, benzene, n-hexane, toluene and the like, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
In the production process of the microsphere preparation, a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug is dissolved or 2l4~823 dispersed in a solution prepared by dissolving a in vivo histocompatible high molecular weight polymer in a solvent to give an oil layer. The thus obtained oil layer is added to a water layer and subjected to an emulsification treatment to prepare an O/W type emulsion. Thereafter, the microsphere preparation is obtained by removing the solvent in the oil layer by means of in-water drying method.
When the oil layer is prepared by dispersing a drug, the drug may be used after making it into fine particles. By the use of microcrystals, the surface of microspheres becomes smooth and the drug release becomes close to O order. Such a releasing capacity close to O order seems to be accomplished due to decrease in the initial releasing rate resulting from the increased interaction between the afore-mentioned high molecular weight polymer and the drug effected by the increased contacting area and due to increase in the releasing rate in the late stage effected by the increased surface area of the drug. The finely ground drug may have a particle size of preferably within a range of 10 ~m or less, more preferably within a range of 5 ~m or less (about 0.1 to about 5 ~m, preferably 0.5 to 5 ~m). Fine particles of the drug can be obtained by usually used means. Examples of such means include jet mill, ball mill, vibrating mill, hammer mill, colloid mill and the like.
In preparing microspheres of the present invention, it is preferable to add an emulsifying agent to the water 2148~)~3 , _ layer, and examples thereof include those which are able to form a stable O/W type emulsion, such as an anionic surfactant (sodium oleate, sodium stearate, sodium lauryl sulfate or the like), a nonionic surfactant (a polyoxy-ethylene sorbitan fatty acid ester, a polyoxyethylene castor oil derivative or the like), polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, lecithin, gelatin and the like, which may be used alone or as a mixture of two or more.
These agents may be used in a concentration of from about 0.01% to about 20%, more preferably from about 0.05% to about 10%.
Removal of the solvent from the oil layer is effected by a conventionally used means (in-water drying method:
Tamotsu Kondo, "Maikurokapuseru-sono kinou to ouyou (Microcapsules, Their Functions And Applications)", p.78, Japanese Standards Association, March 20, 1991). In this method, a solvent is removed by gradually reducing pressure while stirring using a propeller mixer, a magnetic stirrer or the like or by controlling the degree of vacuum using a rotary evaporator or the like.
The thus obtained microspheres are collected by centrifugation or filtration, washed several times with distilled water to remove free drug, the emulsifying agent and the like adhered to the surface of the microspheres and then treated under a reduced pressure, if necessary, with _ 2148~2~
heating, to perfect removal of water and solvent in the microspheres.
If necessary, the thus obtained microspheres are gently ground and screened to remove oversized microspheres.
When used as suspensions for injection use, the particle size of the microspheres may be a range which can satisfy their dispersibility and needle-passing property, for example, in the range of from about 0.5 to about 400 ~m, more preferably from about 0.5 to about 200 ~m, as an average particle size.
The microspheres of the present invention can be made into sustained release injections by preparing an aqueous suspension together with a dispersing agent (polysorbate 80, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, sodium alginate or the like), a preservative (methylparaben, propylparaben, benzyl alcohol, chlorobutanol or the like) and an isotonic agent (sodium chloride, glycerol, sorbitol, glucose or the like) or by preparing an oily suspension by dispersing the microspheres in a plant oil such as olive oil, sesame oil, peanut oil, cotton oil, corn oil or the like or in propylene glycol or the like. In this instance, in order to lessen resisting feeling at the time of injection, the sustained release microsphere preparation of the present invention may be used preferably in the form of aqueous suspension.
In addition, sustained release injections of microspheres of the present invention can be made into more stable sustained release injections by further mixing the 21~882~
above composition with a filler (mannitol, sorbitol, lactose, glucose or the like), dispersing the mixture and then subjecting the resulting dispersion to freeze drying or spray drying to obtain a solid preparation which is used by adding distilled water for injection use or an appropriate dispersion medium at the time of injection.
Dose of a hydrophobic antipsychotic drug as the active ingredient of the sustained release microsphere preparation of the present invention can be decided depending on each disease to be treated, symptoms and age of each patient and the like, and it may be in the range of generally from S to 5,000 mg, preferably from 10 to 2,000 mg, per adult per administration. Since the pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention releases its active ingredient depending on the hydrolysis of the high molecular weight polymer by water, it shows less individual difference and can be administered by not only intramuscular injection but also subcutaneous injection.
