Definitions
- This invention relates to transdermal drug delivery using polymeric devices. Specifically the invention relates to a transdermal system in which steady-state drug release can be modified over a wide range.
- Transdermal delivery is a feasible alternative route of drug administration for many drugs.
- the drug delivery devices are based on non-porous polymers that determine the rate of drug release.
- the systems can, for example, comprise a drug reservoir surrounded by a polymeric membrane or a polymer matrix in which a drug is dissolved or dispersed.
- drug release from a transdermal delivery system is controlled by the ability of the drug to partition with respect to the rate-limiting polymer and by its diffusivity in the polymer membrane or matrix. Partitioning with respect to the membrane can be modified by the partitioning coefficient of the drug between the reservoir and the rate-limiting membrane. Diffusivity in the membrane or matrix can be controlled by the chemical and physical structure of the membrane or matrix.
- the conventional reservoir device technology has some drawbacks when the drug that is to be delivered transdermally is a weak base or a weak acid. Firstly, most weak acids and weak bases are more stable in the form of their crystalline salts. Due to their polarity salts can not partition into the release rate limiting non- porous polymers and thus they are not released from the device. Secondly, when free acids and bases are used in the delivery devices they partition during the storage in the release rate limiting polymers. This causes an unpredictable rise in drug concentration in the membranes and an initial high rate of drug release after application of the device. Clinically the initial release burst may be desirable or undesirable depending on the drug.
- the initial release burst shortens the time delay before steady drug levels are achieved in the body, but at the same time skin irritation by some drugs may be intensified.
- An attempt to overcome the problems relating to the storage of drugs which are weak acids and weak bases is described in U.S. Patent No. 4781924.
- This patent discloses a transdermal system where the therapeutic agent, which in the active form is either an acid or a base, during the storage of the preparation exists as a salt which is not able to migrate from the reservoir containing said therapeutical agent.
- the transdermal preparation further contains an activating agent, an acid or a base, which exists in an anhydrous powder form during storage. When the transdermal preparation is placed on the skin, moisture from the skin diffuses into the system and converts the activating agent to the corresponding acid or base solution which further converts the salt form of the therapeutic agent to the corresponding free acid or free base.
- Steady-state release of weak bases/acids can be controlled by using appropriate pH-adjusting buffers. Release rate of drugs from transdermal systems can be controlled over a range of orders of magnitude by devices in which anhydrous drug salt and suitable pH-adjusting buffer mixture are dispersed or encapsulated in non-porous polymer (Sutinen et al., Int J Pharm 62: 113-118, 1990). Upon imbibition of water in the system anhydrous drug salt and buffers are dissolved. Partitioning of the drug into the polymer and its rate of release are determined by the degree of ionization of the dissolved drug, which in turn is controlled by pH. Only the unionized form of the drug partitions into the polymer.
- drug solubility may cause problems and limit the applicability of buffers to release control. Poor solubility and slow dissolution rate of the drug at the pH of the buffer may control drug release instead of the buffering mixture and the polymer.
- Poor solubility and slow dissolution rate of the drug at the pH of the buffer may control drug release instead of the buffering mixture and the polymer.
- weak bases are unionized and poorly water soluble and with weak acids opposite is true.
- high pH poor water-solubility of the weak base drug may control drug release.
- Cyclodextrins are cyclic oligosaccharides which are capable of forming inclusion complexes with numerous compounds.
- the outer surface of the cyclodextrin molecules is usually hydrophilic enabling cyclodextrins to dissolve in water, while the inner cavity of the cyclodextrins is hydrophobic in nature.
- the inclusion complexes are usually formed in water medium so that hydrophobic compound, e.g. a drug, is enclosed in the cavity of cyclodextrin. Since the formed inclusion complex has higher water-solubility than the drug itself, water-solubility of many compounds can be increased by cyclodextrins. Consequently, as dissolution rate of powders is related to the ultimate solubility, cyclodextrins increase also the dissolution rate of poorly soluble compounds in water.
- the present invention provides a transdermal drug delivery system, or device, that permits the use of stable solid salts of weak bases and weak acids as drugs and enables to adjust the drug release rate in a wide range.
- the drug delivery system enables the steady-state drug release to be controlled over a wide range without changing the rate-limiting polymer. This effect is obtained by adding a cyclodextrin and an appropriate pH adjusting agent to the transdermal system. If the drug to be released is a weak base then buffer solutions of higher pH-values increase the delivery rate. If the drug is a weak acid then buffer solutions of lower pH increase the delivery rate.
- the present invention provides a controlled release transdermal system for the delivery of at least one therapeutic agent and which comprises: a reservoir comprising
- a cyclized polysaccharide selected from a group consisting of cyclodextrin, cyclodextrin derivative and cyclodextrin polymer, the cyclized polysaccharide being capable of improving the solubility of the therapeutic agent in the buffer by forming an inclusion complex with the therapeutic agent; and a reservoir wall comprising a polymer being substantially impermeable to the ionized form or to the inclusion complex form of the therapeutic agent but permeable to water and to the unionized form of the therapeutic agent.
- Fig 1 is a schematic drawing of embodiments of the invention in which the drug and adjuvants are in dry state or in a vehicle in the device core.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic drawing of a transdermal drug delivery system showing embodiments of the invention in which the drug and adjuvants are in microcapsules or in microspheres in the device core.
- Fig. 3 is a schematic drawing of a transdermal drug delivery system showing embodiments of the invention in which the drug and adjuvants are as microspheres or coprecipitates in small individual cores of the device surrounded by rate controlling polymer matrix.
- the basic components of the transdermal drug delivery system of this invention are a reservoir and a release rate-limiting reservoir wall.
- the reservoir may comprise a single macroscopic core (1 ,3) which is surrounded by a release rate-limiting reservoir wall (2) which may be a membrane.
- a release rate-limiting reservoir wall (2) which may be a membrane.
- the core contains a drug in its solid-state salt form.
- the core contains a cyclodextrin and a pH-adjusting agent as adjuvants.
- the core can also contain a vehicle in which the drug is placed that does not affect the release (e.g., Silastic adhesive or other semi-solid vehicle).
- the polymer matrix can optionally be surrounded by a rate-limiting polymer membrane.
- the system can also contain a release liner and adhesive and backing layers.
- the pH-adjusting agent is in anhydrous form and is converted to a solution of the corresponding acid, neutral or alkaline buffer upon contact with water.
- the therapeutic agent is in the form of a solid salt and it is capable of being converted to the corresponding free acid or free base by a buffer.
- the release rate of the therapeutic agent from the transdermal system is regulated by controlled solubilization of the salt form of the therapeutic agent and by controlled conversion of the salt form of the therapeutic agent to its corresponding free acid or free base form.
- pH-adjusting agents affect the pH of the core when water diffuses into the core after application of the device to the skin.
- the possible adjuvants include mono-, di-, and tribasic salts of phosphates, Tris-buffer, carbonates, bicarbonates, acetates, sulphates, sulphites, borates, citrates, nitrates, etc.
- the resulting pH in the core of the system is increased by the buffer solution the fraction of non-ionized weak base drug in the core is increased and drug penetration into the non-porous polymer membrane is increased.
- the decreased pH caused by the pH-adjusting buffering agent improves the permeation from the device core across the rate-limiting membrane.
- the pH- adjusting agent triggers and controls the rate of drug release with the diffusion of water into the core.
- the fraction of unionized drug and the polymer/water partitioning of the drug are increased, at the same time, however, the water solubility of the drug is decreased, sometimes drastically. This limits the amount of available dissolved drug that could partition into the polymer, and, consequently, release rate of the drug can not be controlled by the pH-adjusting agent and polymer partitioning phenomena, but instead are solubility limited.
- weak bases at high pHs in the device core and in the case of weak acids at low pHs the solubility of the poorly water-soluble unionized form of the drug can be improved by cyclodextrin inclusion complexation.
- Cyclodextrins increase the water solubility of many drugs by complexing them into the hydrophobic cavity of cyclodextrin.
- anhydrous cyclodextrin is used as a mixture with powders of the drug and pH-adjusting agents. Due to the increased solubility also the dissolution rate of the drug is increased, possibly decreasing the lag time before steady state drug release. After water imbibition higher drug concentration in the solution is achieved, but part of the dissolved drug is as complex with cyclodextrin. From the complex drug is released immediately at the same rate at which free unionized drug partitions to the polymeric membrane. The cyclodextrin-drug complex does not permeate in the nonporous polymer membrane.
- Suitable cyclodextrins include without limitation natural cyclodextrins ( ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ - type), cyclodextrin derivatives (e.g. alkylated cyclodextrins, hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrins, sulphated cyclodextrins), cyclodextrin polymers (composed of ⁇ , ⁇ and/or ⁇ -cyclodextrins) and branched cyclodextrins.
- natural cyclodextrins ⁇ , ⁇ , ⁇ - type
- cyclodextrin derivatives e.g. alkylated cyclodextrins, hydroxyalkylated cyclodextrins, sulphated cyclodextrins
- cyclodextrin polymers Composed of ⁇ , ⁇ and/or ⁇ -cyclodextrins
- This release controlling technology is applicable to salts of all weak acids and weak bases whose non-ionized form has adequate permeability through the rate- controlling polymer.
- the control of the release rate of the therapeutic agent from the transdermal system of this invention is governed by the solubility and the degree of ionization of the therapeutic agent.
- the desired release rate can be achieved by selecting a suitable pH-adjusting agent(s) and pH in the device core, by choice of cyclodextrin type, and by the molar ratio of drug and cyclodextrin amounts precomplexed or mixed in the device.
- the device can be used for controlled release of variety of drugs.
- the device may be used for poorly water-soluble drugs and for drugs with pH- dependent solubility profiles (weak acids, weak bases).
- Therapeutic agents that can be delivered with this system include without limitation beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents, analgesics, anti-arrhytmic agents, antibacterial agents, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antihistamines, antihypertensives, antipsychotics, anti-ulcer compounds, bronchodilators, diuretics, hypoglycaemic compounds, parasympathomimetics, sympathomimetics, and vasodilators.
- the device is useful for the administration of drugs over a sustained period of time or drugs that are difficult to administer by other means, like osmotic devices, due to their poor water solubility.
- This invention has also particular utility in administration of drugs with very pH dependent solubilities.
- dexmedetomidine a selective ⁇ 2-receptor agonist is this kind of compound.
- Dexmedetomidine is a relatively lipophilic weak base (logP at pH 7.4 is 2.8) and its aqueous solubility drops dramatically as pH is increased.
- a drug and adjuvants can be simply mixed as a homogenous powder mixture or coprecipitated, spray dried, microencapsulated or lyophiliz ⁇ d together.
- the drug and adjuvants can be dissolved and dispersed in a polymer matrix that does control the release. They can be dispersed as a powder mixture, a spray dried or lyophilized powder or as microparticles or microcapsules.
- blending the drug and cyclodextrin with pH-adjusting agents also precomplexed drug with cyclodextrin can be used.
- Drug-cyclodextrin complex can be prepared according to methods well known to a person skilled in the art. For example, spray drying, freeze drying, kneading, coprecipitation, grinding, melting or sealed heating methods can be used.
- the rate-limiting reservoir wall of the device is a suitable semipermeable polymer. This means that it does not allow penetration of the ionized salts nor the cyclodextrin-drug-inclusion complex from the system core across the polymer.
- the polymer permits adequate penetration of water into the core. It also allows diffusion of the non-ionized base or acid from the core across the polymer, but does not allow leakage of ionized drug or the inclusion complex or adjuvants from the device. pH in the system core and the degree of ionization and solubilization of the drug determine how much drug partitions in the polymer.
- Suitable materials for forming the reservoir wall include without limitation elastomer-type polymers such as silicone polymers, polyisobutylene and siliconepolyethyleneoxide copolymers, and other polymers with suitable permeabilities such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane and polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate.
- the reservoir wall of a single core reservoir system can be prepared by solvent casting, compression molding and by other known methods.
- the polymer matrix can be prepared by compression, compression molding, injection molding, solvent casting and other known methods.
- Rate of water influx through the reservoir wall can be accelerated by adding hydrophilic adjuvants to the polymer (e.g. mannitol, polyethylene glycols, glycerol, sucrose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, etc.). Also, the release rate of hydrophilic drugs can be increased by making the reservoir wall more hydrophilic.
- hydrophilic adjuvants e.g. mannitol, polyethylene glycols, glycerol, sucrose, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, etc.

- the drug does not penetrate through the reservoir wall in its salt form, it does not penetrate into the reservoir wall during storage.
- the system When the system is applied to the skin water must penetrate through the reservoir wall into the core, where it dissolves part of the drug and cyclodextrin and pH-adjusting agent. A non-ionized uncomplexed portion of the drug in solution starts to penetrate the reservoir wall. During these initial stages the rate of the drug release slowly increases until the drug concentration in the reservoir wall reaches steady-state levels.
- the time lag before constant release lengthens the delay before steady drug levels are achieved in plasma.
- This can be avoided by loading the reservoir wall of a single core reservoir system with the drug before the system is manufactured to give a priming dose of the drug.
- the loading of the reservoir wall can cause an initial burst of faster drug release.
- the optional rate-limiting polymer membrane surrounding the matrix is loaded, or additional drug containing layer is added to the matrix.
- additional drug containing layer is added to the matrix.
- the adhesive layer can be loaded with the drug.
- the magnitude of the burst or delay in the drug release can be modified by varying the amount of drug that is loaded.
- Skin permeation enhancers may be incorporated into the reservoir wall or into the adhesive layer to improve the skin permeability of the drug to be administered.
- phase-solubility diagram of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in aqueous 2- hydroxypropyl- ⁇ -cyclodextrin (2-HP- ⁇ -CD) solutions (0-50% m/V or 0-349 mM) was determined in three different pHs.
- the excess amount of the drug was added to pH 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 phosphate buffers (142 mM) and the pHs of the suspensions were readjusted with 0.2M NaOH.
- the suspensions were shaken at 32°C in a water bath for 10 days. After equilibration, the saturated solutions of DEX were filtered, diluted and the concentrations of DEX were analyzed by RP- HPLC at 210 nm.
- Tris-buffer Tris-buffer (TRIS), trisodium phosphate (TP), disodium phosphate (DP), sodium phosphate (MP) or the mixture of disodium and sodium phosphates (50/50) (MP/DP) were used to buffer the devices.
- 2-HP- ⁇ -CD was added to the device in three different ways:
- Silicone membranes for the devices were made of MDX-4-4210 medical grade elastomer (Dow Corning, Midland, Ml) by mixing 10% (w/w) MDX-4240 curing agent with the elastomer. Upon compressing at 60°C for 1 hour the mixture is vulcanized (crosslinks) via platinium catalyst addition (hydrosilylation) reaction. DEX HCI was placed with or without pH-adjusting additives and/or cyclodextrins on a cut piece of silicone membrane. Another silicone membrane was glued on the former with SilasticTM Adhesive type B (Dow Corning, Valbonne, France) so that the drug and, if present, adjuvants were encapsulated inside two membranes. The thickness of the rate-limiting membrane in the devices was about 120 ⁇ m and the surface area of drug permeation was 0.64 cm 2 .
- DEX release from unbuffered devices with and without DEX was negligible (Table 2).
- the rate of DEX release from the devices was enhanced significantly by increasing the pH in the device core with pH-adjusting agents. For example, trisodium phosphate increased DEX release rate over 180 times. With increasing pH the fraction of unionized weak DEX base is increased and drug partitioning and permeation is improved. With the tested buffers rate of DEX release could be controlled over 25-fold range.
