Description

ORAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITIONS WITH DELAYED RELEASE OF REVERSIBLE PROTON PUMP INHIBITORS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to oral pharmaceutical compositions in pellet or tablet form for reversible proton pump inhibitors for combined use with antimicrobially-active ingredients for the treatment of disorders caused by Helicobacter.
Prior Art
Control of the microbe Helicobacter pylori, which is thought to be responsible for certain gastric disorders, by combined use of an antimicrobially-active ingredient which is active against Helicobacter pylori and of an agent which reduces gastric acid has been regarded as the method of choice for some time.
Besides inhibitors of gastric acid secretion of the H2 receptor antagonist type, in recent times use has been made, with more or less success, of compounds of the class of so-called irreversible proton pump inhibitors (such as pantoprazole, omeprazole or lansoprazole) . Irreversible proton pump inhibitors are substances which covalently, and thus irreversibly, bind to the enzyme which iε responsible for acid secretion in the stomach, the H+/K+ ATPase.
Besides so-called irreversible proton pump inhibitors, which essentially have a common basic chemical structure (pyridinylmethylsulfinylbenzimidazoles) , there are the so-called reversible H+/K+ ATPase inhibitors which have different basic chemical structures and which, as the name indicates, reversibly bind to the enzyme responsible for gastric acid secretion. These are called reversible proton pump inhibitors in connection with the present invention. Reversible proton pump inhibitors are disclosed, for example, in the documents DE-A-3917232, EP-A-0399267, EP-A-0387821, JP-A-3031280, JP-A-2270873, EP-A-0308917, EP-A-0268989, EP-A-0228006 , EP-A-0204285, EP-A-0165545, EP-A-0125756, EP-A-0120589, EP-A-0509974, DE-A-3622036, EP-A-0537532, EP-A-0535529, JP-A-3284686, JP-A-3284622, US-P-4,833 ,149, EP-A-0261912, WO-A-9114677 , WO-A-9315055, O-A-9315071, O-A-9315056, O-A-9312090, O-A-9212969, O-A-9118887, EP-A-0393926, EP-A-0307078, US-P-5,041,442, EP-A-0266890, WO-A-9414795, EP-A-0264883, EP-A-0033094, EP-A-0259174, EP-A-0330485, O-A-8900570, EP-A-0368158, WO-A-9117164 , O-A-9206979, O-A-9312090, O-A-9308190, O-A-9418199, DE-A-3011490, US-P-4,'464,372, EP-A-0068378 and O-A-9424130.
Combined use of reversible proton pump inhibitors with antimicrobially-active ingredients haε a good effect against Helicobacter in vitro. However, the clinical effect achieved with thiε combined uεe iε disappointing.
Summary of the Invention The action of an antimicrobially-active ingredient on Helicobacter is surprisingly enhanced by administering a reversible proton pump inhibitor in slow-release dosage form (extended release form) . It must be regarded as particularly surprising that, in addition, administration of the slow-releaεe reversible proton pump inhibitor results in the onεet of action taking place significantly faster than on adminiεtration of a non-slow-release reversible proton pump inhibitor. The duration of treatment until Helicobacter is eradicated is shortened, saving conεiderable amounts of antibiotic and acid inhibitor.

Reversible proton pump inhibitors can, in this connection, be present as such, in the form of their salts and/or their solvates (e.g. hydrates) , etc. Particularly suitable salts are (because all reversible proton pump inhibitors are substances with a basic reaction) all acid-addition salts. Particular mention may be made of the pharmacologically-acceptable salts of inorganic and organic acids customarily used in pharmaceutical technology, including water-soluble and water-insoluble acid- addition salts with acids, εuch as hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, citric acid, D-gluconic acid, benzoic acid, 2-(4- hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid, butyric acid, sulfoεalicylic acid, maleic acid, lauric acid, malic acid, fumaric acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, tartaric acid, embonic acid, stearic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid and 3-hydroxy-2- naphthoic acid, the acids being used in the preparation of the salt in a ratio of amounts which are equimolar or different therefrom - depending on whether the acid is mono- or polybasic and depending on the salt required.
Examples of suitable antimicrobially-active ingredients (active against Helicobacter pylori) are enumerated in European Patent Application EP-A-282131. These active ingredients include, for example, bismuth saltε (such as bismuth subcitrate or bismuth subsalicylate) , sulfonamides, nitrofurans (such as nitrofurazone, nitrofurantoin or furazolidone) , metronidazole, tinidazole, nimorazole or antibiotics. Examples of antibiotics which may be mentioned in this connection are, arranged according to particular classes of active ingredient: aminoglycosides, such aε gentamicin, neomycin, kanamycin, amikacin or streptomycin; macrolides, such as erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, clindamycin or rifampicin; penicillins, εuch as penicillin G, penicillin V, ampicillin, ezlocillin or amoxicillin; polypeptides, such as bacitracin or polymyxin; tetracyclineε, such as tetracyline, chlorotetracycline. oxytetracycline, inocycline or doxycycline; carbapenems, such as imipenem, loracarbef, meropene or panipenem; cephalosporins, such as cefalexin, cefoxitin, cefuroxime axetil, cefotaxime, cefpodoxime proxetil, cefaclor, cefadroxil or cephalothin; gyrase inhibitorε, such as ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin or pefloxacin; or other different antibiotics, such as chloramphenicol. Particularly worthy of mention in this connection is also the combination of a plurality of antimicrobially-active ingredients, for example the combination of a biεmuth salt and/or tetracycline with metronidazole, or the combination of amoxicillin or clarithromycin with metronidazole.
Particularly worthy of mention in this connection is also administration of a reversible proton pump inhibitor together with a plurality of antimicrobially-active ingredients, for example with the combination of a bismuth salt and/or tetracycline with metronidazole, or with the combination of amoxicillin or clarithromycin or with metronidazole.
The dosage of the active ingredients depends greatly on the nature of the reversible proton pump inhibitor uεed and of the antimicrobially-active ingredient(s) uεed. A typical doεage of a reversible proton pump inhibitor as disclosed, for example, in O-A-9418199 can be regarded as a daily dose of from about 0.01 to about 20, preferably from 0.05 to 5, and in particular from 0.1 to 1.5, mg/kg of body weight, where appropriate in the form of a plurality of εingle doεeε. Penicillinε, such as amoxicillin, are adminiεtered in a daily doεe of from about 5 to 40, preferably from 10 to 20, mg/kg of body weight.
Antimicrobially-active ingredients which may be emphasized are erythromycin, azithromycin, clarithromycin, clinda ycin, rifampicin, ampicillin, mezlocillin, amoxicillin, tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, imipenem, meropenem, cefalexin, cefuroxime axetil, cefpodoxime proxetil, cefaclor, cefadroxil, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin and pefloxacin.
Clarithromycin and amoxicillin may be mentioned as antimicrobially-active ingredients which should be particularly emphasized.
Combined administration means (for the purpose of the present invention) fixed and, in particular, free combinations, i.e. the slow-releaεe reverεible proton pump inhibitor and the antimicrobially-active ingredient are present together in one dosage unit, or slow-release reversible proton pump inhibitor and antimicrobially-active ingredient, which are present in separate dosage units, are administered in direct succession or at a relatively large time interval; a relatively large time interval means within a time span of up to a maximum of 24 hours. For use as separate dosage unitε, theεe are preferably made available together in one pack. For example, the two dosage units are packed together in blister packs which are designed with regard to the relative arrangement of the two dosage units with respect to one another, the inscription and/or coloring in a manner known per se so that the times for taking the individual components (dosage regimen) of the two dosage units are evident to a patient.
A dosage unit means, in particular, those medicinal dosage forms in which slowing or extending of reversible proton pump inhibitor release is achieved with as few problems as possible. These include, in particular, tablets, coated tablets or pellets, and microtablets in capsuleε, with the dosage form advantageously being designed so that the two active ingredient components (reversible proton pump inhibitor on the one hand and antimicrobially-active ingredient on the other hand) are released, or made available effectively for the body, in such a way that an optimal active-ingredient profile (and thus action profile) is achieved.
For slowing release, various types and degrees of retarding release may be used to ensure a reversible proton pump inhibitor plasma level which persiεtε aε long as possible and is sufficient for raising pH.
Thepharmaceutical formulation of the antimicrobially-active ingredient(s) is carried out in a manner which is familiar per se to the skilled worker for the individual active ingredients.
The rapid release of part of the reversible proton pump inhibitor and retarding release of another part is optionally achieved, for example, by layered tablets or multilayer tablets, in which part of the reversible proton pump inhibitor is present in an outer coating in a form without slowing release; this is followed by another coating containing the antimicrobially-active ingredient and then the core with the reversible proton pump inhibitor whoεe release is slowed in a suitable manner.
The details of how to achieve slowing release are familiar to the skilled worker on the basis of his expert knowledge. The skilled worker iε likewise familiar with suitable ancillary substances and vehicles for the required dosage forms (pharmaceutical formulations) . Besides solvents, tablet ancillary substances and other active ingredient excipients it is possible to use, for example, tablet-coating compositions, plasticizers, antioxidants, preservatives, dyes, etc. Where incompatibilities between the active ingredients or between the active ingredients and ancillary substances are to be expected, suitable separating layers must be provided where appropriate.
The oral pharmaceutical compositionε according to the invention are distinguished from the prior art by controlled release of active ingredients and increaεed stability.
Besides filler and binder, other ancillary -subεtances, in particular lubricants and nonstick agents, and tablet disintegrants, are used in the manufacture of the tablet cores. A suitable binder is, in particular, polyvinylpyrrolidone in various degrees of polymerization. Examples of lubricants and nonstick agents are higher fatty acids and their alkali-metal and alkaline-earth-metal salts, such aε calcium stearate. Suitable tablet diεintegrantε are, in particular, chemically-inert agentε. Preferred tablet diεintegrantε include croεs-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone, crosslinked sodium carboxymethylcelluloses and sodium starch glycolate.
Examples of suitable film-forming polymers, in respect of the water-insoluble release-slowing intermediate layer(s) to be applied to the pellet or tablet core, include ethylcellulose, polyvinyl acetate, ammonio methacrylate copolymer type A (e.g. Eudragit® RL) and type B (Eudragit® RS) etc. The release rate can be controlled not only by incorporating suitable water-soluble pore formers such as PEG, lactose, mannitol, sorbitol, HPMC, etc., but also by the thickness of the coating layer applied. The solvents or dispersants used for the release-controlling polymer dispersion are non-aqueous organic solvents, such as alcohols, ketones, halogenated hydrocarbons or mixtures of such solvents.
It is poεsible in a similar way to use osmotic systems with semipermeable membranes of cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate or cellulose acetate propionate (as described in US-A 3845770, US-A 3916899, US-A 4036227, US-A 4093708, US-A 4096238, US-A 4135514 and US-A 4142526) to control the release of active ingredients. These can be coated with aqueous dispersions of enteric lacquers without changing the release rate.
Examples of suitable polymers for the enteric coating are methacrylic acid/methyl methacrylate copolymer or methacrylic acid/ethyl methacrylate copolymer (Eudragit® L) or cellulose derivatives, such as carboxymethylethylcelluloεe (CMEC, Duodcel) , celluloεe acetate phthalate (CAP) , celluloεe acetate trimellitate (CAT) , hydroxypropylmethylcelluloεe phthalate (HP50, HP55) , hydroxypropyimethylcellulose acetate εuccinate (HPMCAS) or polyvinyl acetate phthalate, to which it is also possible to add, if desired, plaεticizer (such as propylene glycol) and/or other additives and ancillary subεtanceε (e.g. buffer; base, such as, preferably, aluminum hydroxide; or pigment) . The layers are applied in conventional ways using equipment customary for these purposes.
Susceptibility of Commercial Application The combined uεe according to the invention of a slow- release reversible proton pump inhibitor with an antimicrobially- active ingredient meets all the requirements for a pharmaceutical product or combination pharmaceutical product for the treatment of gastric disorderε attributable to the microbe, Helicobacter pylori. The particular advantageε connected with the combined use of the slow-releaεe drug form with an antimicrobially-active ingredient which may be mentioned are: the rapid onεet of action with pH values as far aε neutral in the lumen of the εtomach and in the wall of the εtomach and an optimal displaying of the effect of the antimicrobially-active ingredient. The short duration of treatment which can be achieved increases the compliance, which is extremely important for antibiotic treatments.
