Description

SELF-EMULSIFYING FORMULATION FOR LIPOPHILIC COMPOUNDS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to novel pharmaceutical compositions in a form of a self-emulsifying formulation which provide high concentration and high oral bioavailability for pyranone compounds which are inhibitors of retroviral protease.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It has recently been discovered that certain pyranone compounds inhibit retroviral protease and thus they are useful for treating patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which results in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). In particular, the pyranone compound of formula I has been found to be especially effective as an inhibitor of retroviral protease.
Figure imgf000003_0001
I However, like many other HIV protease inhibitors, these compounds are characteristically lipophilic and thus poorly water soluble. For example, the compound of formula I has an aqueous solubility about 1 μg/ml in the buffer of pH 6.5 (close to the pH of the intestine), which is considered as extremely poor aqueous solubility and would be expected to provide very low oral bioavailability in the free acid form. It is well known that an active drug substance or therapeutic moiety administered by any route must possess some aqueous solubility for systemic absorption and therapeutic response. Poorly water soluble compounds often exhibit either incomplete or erratic absorption and thus produce a minimal response at desired dosage.
Attempts were made to identify salts of the pyranone compounds in solid forms which could improve aqueous solubility. An overriding defect which has however remained is that the formulations in the form of salt are prone to precipitation of the parent free acid in the gastrointestinal tract and hence are not capable to provide a dosage in the desired high concentration to permit convenient use and yet meet the required criteria in terms of bioavailability.
Recognizing the problems, the present invention is directed toward pharmaceutical compositions in a form of self-emulsifying formulations which provide high concentration and high oral bioavailability for pyranone compounds. In particular it has been discovered that the compositions of the present invention allow the preparation of self-emulsifying formulations containing a pyranone inhibitor of retroviral protease in an exceedingly high concentration up to about 400 mg/g to permit convenient oral administration while at the same time achieving improved bioavailability, which is at least two fold higher than the aqueous suspension of the free acid.

The International Publication No. WO 96/39142 discloses compositions which increase the bioavailability of protease inhibitors.

B. Oral Bioavailability Test.
(i) Sprague-Dawley male rats were selected for the in vivo oral bioavailability study. Each rat was prepared by the surgical implantation of an indwelling cannula in the superior vena cava. Each rat, in the weight range of 300 - 400 g, was fasted overnight prior to dosing. Each formulation was orally administered to a group of rats (n=3) at a 20 mg/kg dose. The formulations with high concentration of the compound of formula I (typically 200-300 mg/g) was diluted by 100-fold with water and injected directly into the rat's stomach using oral gavage. Serial blood samples of 0.25 ml were obtained from the indwelling cannula at 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. These blood samples were analyzed using a HPLC assay specific for the compound of formula I. Drug concentrations in the blood of the test rats are plotted against the time after the drug is administered through an intravenous (i.v.) or oral route and the AUCs (the Area Under the Pasma Concentration-Time Curve) are integrated using the trapezoidal rule to calculate the absolute bioavailability as shown in Table 1.

(ii) Male Beagle dogs were also selected for the in vivo oral bioavailability study. Each dog, in the weight range of 13.5 - 17.5 kg, was fasted overnight prior to dosing. Each formulation was orally administered to a group of dogs (n=4) at a 20 mg/kg dose. The formulation of high concentration of the compound of formula I (300 mg/g) was encapsulated in gelatin capsules and administered. Serial blood samples of 2 ml were obtained from the jugular vein at 20, 40 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. These blood samples were analyzed using a HPLC assay specific for the compound of formula I. The blood concentrations of the compound of formula I are plotted against the time and the AUCs are obtained to calculate the absolute bioavailability. The results are shown in Table 2.
(iii) Ten healthy volunteers were orally administered with eight 150 mg (1200 mg single dose) disodium salt of compound of the formula I encapsulated in hard gelatin capsules as reference. Weeks later, the same group were orally administered with four 300 mg (1200 mg single dose) compound of the formula I in a formulation as exhibited in Example 15. Serial blood samples of the volunteers were obtained at 30 minutes and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24 hours after dosing. These blood samples were analyzed using a HPLC assay specific for the compound of formula I. The blood concentrations of the compound of formula I are plotted against the time and the
AUCs are obtained to calculate the relative bioavailability. The results are shown in Table 3.
