BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] It is known that certain biologically active compounds are better absorbed through the oral mucosa than through other routes of administration, such as through the stomach or intestine. However, formulations suitable for such administration by these latter routes present their own problems. For example, the biologically active compound must be compatible with the other components of the composition such as propellants, solvents, etc.
Many such formulations have been proposed. For example, U.S.P. 4,689,233, Dvorsky et al., describes a soft gelatin capsule for the administration of the anti-coronary drug nifedipine dissolved in a mixture of polyether alcohols. U.S.P. 4,755,389, Jones et al., describes a hard gelatin chewable capsule containing nifedipine. A chewable gelatin capsule containing a solution or dispersion of a drug is described in U.S.P.

An orally administered pump spray is described by Cholcha in U.S.P. 5,186,925. Aerosol compositions containing a hydrocarbon propellant and a drug for administration to a mucosal surface are described in U.K.

[0004] Ondansetron is an anti-emetic used to treat nausea and/or vomiting, especially chemotherapy and radiation induced nausea andlor vomiting (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., pp. 260).
Ondansetron is also used as a pre-operative anti-emetic (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., pp. 304). Administration of ondansetron in combination with a corticosteroid, such as phenothiazine or butyrophenone, can increase efficacy as an anti-emetic (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., pp. 928). Ondansetron can also be used to treat anxiety (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., pp. 427).

Ondansetron can also be used to treat anxiety (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed., pp. 427).
[0005] Ondansetron can be administered orally, intravenously, or intramuscularly.
Ondansetron, when administered as an anti-emetic for severe chemotherapy-induced emesis, is typically administered at a single daily dose of 32 mg by intravenous infusion over about 15 minutes about 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy or intravenously in 3 divided doses of 0.1 to 0.15 mg/kg with the first dose given about 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy and the following doses given 4 and 8 hours after the initial dose. To treat severe chemotherapy-induced emesis, ondansetron can be administered at a daily dose of 32 mg in combination with a daily dose of 20 mg dexamethasone, each administered by intravenous infusion. For moderate chemotherapy-induced emesis, ondansetron is typically administered orally (as a tablet or solution) at a dose of 8 mg (tablet) or 10 mg (solution) about 30 minutes prior to chemotherapy followed by a second dose 8 hours later. The dose can then be repeated twice per day for 1 to 2 days following chemotherapy (Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9'h ed., pp. 928-930).

[0016] It is an object of the invention to coat the mucosal membranes either with extremely fine droplets of spray containing the active compounds or a solution or paste thereof from bite capsules.
[0017] It is also an object of the invention to administer to the oral mucosa of a mammalian in need of same, preferably man, by spray or bite capsule, a predetermined amount of a biologically active compound by this method or from a soft gelatin capsule.
[0018] A further object is a sealed aerosol spray container containing a composition of the non polar or polar aerosol spray formulation, and a metered valve suitable for releasing from said container a predetermined amount of said composition. .
[0019] As the propellant evaporates after activation of the aerosol valve, a mist of fine droplets is formed which contains solvent and active compound.
[0020] The propellant is a non-Freon material, preferably a C3_8 hydrocarbon of a linear or branched configuration. The propellant should be substantially non-aqueous. The propellant produces a pressure in the aerosol container such that under expected normal usage it will produce sufficient pressure to expel the solvent from the container when the valve is activated but not excessive pressure such as to damage the container or valve seals.
[0021] The non-polar solvent is a non-polar hydrocarbon, preferably a C~_l8 hydrocarbon of a linear or branched configuration, fatty acid esters, and triglycerides, such as miglyol. The solvent must dissolve the active compound and be miscible with the propellant, i.e., solvent and propellant must form a single phase at a temperature of 0-40°C
a pressure range of between 1-3 atm.
a pressure range of between 1-3 atm.
[0022] The polar and non-polar aerosol spray compositions of the invention are intended to be administered from a sealed, pressurized container. Unlike a pump spray, which allows the entry of air into the container after every activation, the aerosol container of the invention is sealed at the time of manufacture. The contents of the container are released by activation of a metered valve, which does not allow entry of atmospheric gasses with each activation. Such containers are commercially available.
[0023] A further object is a pump spray container containing a composition of the pump spray formulation, and a metered valve suitable for releasing from said container a predetermined amount of said composition.
[0024] A further object is a soft gelatin bite capsule containing a composition of as set forth above. The formulation may be in the form of a viscous solution or paste containing the active compounds. Although solutions are preferred, paste fills may also be used where the active compound is not soluble or only partially soluble in the solvent of choice. Where water is used to form part of the paste composition, it should not exceed 10 thereof. (All percentages herein are by weight unless otherwise indicated.) [0025] The polar or non-polar solvent is chosen such that it is compatible with the gelatin shell and the active compound. The solvent preferably dissolves the active compound. However, other components wherein the active compound is not soluble or only slightly soluble may be used and will form a paste fill.
[0026] Soft gelatin capsules are well known in the art. See, for example, U.S.P.
4,935,243, Borkan et al., for its teaching of such capsules. The capsules of the present invention are intended to be bitten into to release the low viscosity solution or paste therein, which will then coat the buccal mucosa with the active compounds. Typical capsules, which are swallowed whole or bitten and then swallowed, deliver the active compounds to the stomach, which results in significant lag time before maximum blood levels can be achieved or subject the compound to a large first pass effect. Because of the enhanced absorption of the compounds through the oral mucosa and no chance of a first pass effect, use of the bite capsules of the invention will eliminate much of the lag time, resulting in hastened onset of biological effect. The shell of a so$ gelatin capsule of the invention may comprise, for example: gelatin: 50-75 %, glycerin 20-30 %, colorants 0.5-1.5 %, water 5-10 %, and sorbitol 2-10 %.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
[0031] FIG 1. is a schematic diagram showing routes of absorption and processing of pharmacologically active substances in a mammalian system.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
(0032] The preferred active compounds of the present invention= are in an ionized, salt form or as the free base of the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof (provided, for the aerosol or pump spray compositions, they are soluble in the spray solvent). These compounds are soluble in the non-polar solvents of the invention at useful concentrations or can be prepared as pastes at useful concentrations. These concentrations may be less than the standard accepted dose for these compounds since there is enhanced absorption of the compounds through the oral mucosa. This aspect of the invention is especially important when there is a large (40-99.99%) first pass effect.
[0033] As propellants for the non polar sprays, propane, N-butane, iso-butane, N-pentane, iso-pentane, and neo-pentane, and mixtures thereof may be used. N-butane and iso-butane, as single gases, are the preferred propellants. It is permissible for the propellant to have a water content of no more than 0.2%, typically 0.1-0.2%. All percentages herein are by weight unless otherwise indicated. It is also preferable that the propellant be synthetically produced to minimize the presence of contaminants which are harmful to the active compounds. These contaminants include oxidizing agents, reducing agents, Lewis acids or bases, and water. The concentration of each of these should be less than 0.1 %, except that water may be as high as 0.2%.
[uu34] Suitable non-polar solvents for the capsules and the non-polar sprays include (Cz-Cz4) fatty acid (C2-C6) esters, C7-C~8 hydrocarbon, C~-C6 alkanoyl esters, and the triglycerides of the corresponding acids. When the capsule fill is a paste, other liquid components may be used instead of the above low molecular weight solvents.
These include Soya oil, corn oil, other vegetable oils.
[0035] As solvents for the polar capsules or sprays there may be used low molecular weight polyethyleneglycols (PEG) of 400-1000 Mw (preferably 400-600), low molecular weight (C2-C8) mono and polyols and alcohols of C7-C18 linear or branch chain hydrocarbons, glycerin may also be present and water may also be used in the sprays, but only in limited amount in the capsules.
[0036] It is expected that some glycerin and water used to make the gelatin shell will migrate from the shell to the fill during the curing of the shell.
Likewise, there may be some migration of components from the fill to the shell during curing and even throughout the shelf life of the capsule.
[0037] Therefore, the values given herein are for the compositions as prepared, it being within the scope of the invention that minor variations will occur.
