Definitions

  • This invention relates to methylnaltrexone pharmaceutical preparations, methylnaltrexone formulations, methylnaltrexone kits, and methods of making the same.
  • Quaternary amine opioid antagonist derivatives have been shown to have utility in a number of contexts. They are considered peripherally acting only, and, therefore, find particular utility in reducing the side-effects of opioids without reducing the analgesic effect of opioids. Such side effects include nausea, emesis, dysphoria, pruritis, urinary retention, bowel hypomotility, constipation, gastric hypomotility, delayed gastric emptying and immune suppression.
  • the utility of these peripherally acting opioid antagonists is not limited to reducing side-effects stemming from opioid analgesic treatment. Instead, these derivatives also have utility in circumstances where endogenous opioids alone (or in conjunction with exogenous opioid treatment) cause undesirable conditions such as ileus and other such conditions including, but not limited to, those mentioned above.
  • Methylnaltrexone is a quaternary amine opioid antagonist derivative, discovered in the mid-70s. Methylnaltrexone and some of its uses are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,176,186, 4,719,215, 4,861,781, 5,102,887, 5,972,954, and 6,274,591. Stable formulations of methylnaltrexone, however, have heretofore not existed. Methylnaltrexone apparently was assumed to have a structure that was inherently stable. The stability of a pharmaceutical composition in solution, however, is not necessarily predictable either over time when stored at room temperature or when autoclaved.
  • Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that acts both centrally and peripherally. It differs structurally from methylnaltrexone and would be expected to have a different stability in solution.
  • An allegedly stable formulation of naloxone is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,866,154.
  • methylnaltrexone is unusually unstable. It further has been discovered that methylnaltrexone has certain degradation products different from those of naloxone. It also has been discovered that critical parameters and conditions are required for stable formulations of methylnaltrexone.
  • the invention provides a composition or preparation that is a solution of methylnaltrexone or a salt thereof, wherein the preparation after autoclaving has a concentration of methylnaltrexone degradation products that does not exceed 2% of the methylnaltrexone or salt thereof in the preparation.
  • concentration of such degradation products does not exceed 1.5%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.25%, or even 0.125% of the methylnaltrexone or salt thereof in the preparation.
  • the composition or preparation can contain one of, any combination of, or all of a chelating agent, a buffering agent, an anti-oxidant, a cryoprotecting agent, an isotonicity agent and an opioid.
  • the preferred chelating agent is disodium edetate or a derivative thereof.
  • the disodium edetate preferably is at a concentration ranging from between 0.001 and 100 mg/ml, more preferably 0.05 to 25.0 mg/ml, and even more preferably, 0.1 to 2.5 mg/ml.
  • a preferred buffering agent is citrate buffer.
  • the citrate buffer typically is in a concentration ranging from 0.001 to 100.0 mM, preferably from 0.1 to 10 mM, and more preferably, 0.1 to 5.0 mM.
  • a preferred cryoprotecting agent is mannitol.
  • the composition or preparation preferably has a pH that does not exceed 4.25. More preferably, the pH ranges from 2.0 to 4.0, 3.0 to 4.0, and most preferably, from 3.0 to 3.5.
  • a composition or preparation which includes a solution of methylnaltrexone or a salt thereof, wherein the preparation after storage at about room temperature for six months has a concentration of methylnaltrexone degradation products that does not exceed 2% of the methylnaltrexone in the preparation.
  • the concentration of the methylnaltrexone degradation products preferably does not exceed 1.5%, 1.0%, 0.5%, 0.25%, and even 0.125% of the methylnaltrexone in the preparation.
  • the composition or preparation can contain one of, any combination of, or all of a chelating agent, a buffering agent, an anti-oxidant, a cryoprotecting agent, an isotonicity agent and an opioid.
  • the preferred chelating agent and concentrations are as described above.
  • the preferred buffering agent and concentrations are as described above.
  • the composition or preparation has a pH that does not exceed 4.25. The preferred pHs and ranges are as described above.
  • a stable composition or preparation is provided.
  • the composition or preparation is a solution of methylnaltrexone or a salt thereof wherein the pH is below 4.25.
  • the pH is between 2.75 and 4.25, more preferably, between 3.0 and 4.0, and most preferably, between 3.0 and 3.5.
  • pH can be adjusted with an acid.
  • acids useful for this purpose include hydrochloric acid, citric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and phosphoric acid.
  • the stable composition or preparation can also include any one of, any combination of, or all of a chelating agent, a buffering agent, an isotonicity agent, an antioxidant, a cryogenic agent, and an opioid.
  • a stable composition or preparation is provided.
  • the composition or preparation is a solution of methylnaltrexone or salt thereof, wherein the solution further comprises a chelating agent in an amount sufficient to inhibit degradation of the methylnaltrexone or salt thereof, whereby the amount is such that the composition or preparation after autoclaving has a concentration of methylnaltrexone degradation products that does not exceed 0.5%, 0.25% or even 0. 125% of the methylnaltrexone or salt thereof in the composition or preparation.
  • the composition or preparation can further include any one of, any combination of, or all of a buffering agent, an isotonicity agent, an antioxidant and an opioid. Preferred chelating agents, buffering agents and pHs are as described above.
  • a composition or preparation is provided.
  • the composition or preparation is a solution of methylnaltrexone or salt thereof in at least one methylnaltrexone degradation inhibiting agent.
  • the agent can be any one of, any combination of, or all of a chelating agent, a buffering agent, and an antioxidant, provided that the solution has a pH ranging from 2.0 to 6.0.
  • the degradation inhibiting agent is present in an amount sufficient to render the composition or preparation stable, wherein the composition or preparation is processed under at least one sterilization technique, and wherein the composition or preparation is substantially free of methylnaltrexone degradation products.
  • the composition or preparation can be stable to storage for at least six months, at least twelve months, or at least twenty-four months, at about room temperature.
  • the composition or preparation is stable after autoclaving.
  • the composition or preparation further may include either or both of an isotonicity agent and an opioid.
  • the pH of the solution is between 2.75 and 4.25, more preferably, between 3.0 and 4.0, and most preferably, between 3.0 and 3.5.
  • the composition or preparation can be a pharmaceutical composition.
  • the methylnaltrexone can be present in a therapeutically effective amount.
  • the concentration of methylnaltrexone ranges from 0.01 to 100 mg/ml. In other embodiments, the methylnaltrexone concentration ranges between 0.1 and 100.0 mg/ml. In other embodiments, the methylnaltrexone ranges between 1.0 and 50.0 mg/ml.

  • Applicants also noted that despite setting the pH of a methylnaltrexone solution at points between 3.0 and 6.0 using a pH-adjusting acid or pH-adjusting base prior to autoclaving and despite the benefits obtained from lower pH, the pH of the autoclaved sample drifted almost immediately to about 7.0. It was therefore tested, in particular, whether buffering agents could eliminate the pH drift that resulted from autoclaving without negatively affecting the ability to protect against heat degradation resulting from autoclaving. Applicants discovered that buffering agents indeed could be employed to stabilize the pH of methylnaltrexone solutions throughout the autoclaving process without permitting degradation products to exceed acceptable minimums. Buffers were used in concentrations ranging from 0.25 mM to 25 mM.

  • a chelating agent alone was capable of reducing the amount of degradation products to acceptable levels.
  • pH was not adjusted and disodium edetate was added at concentrations of 0.01, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mg/mL.

This at first glance appears anomalous with the results described above, where disodium edetate alone was sufficient to bring total degradants under 0.5% at concentrations above approximately 0.3 disodium edetate mg/mL.
  • citrate buffer also is a chelating agent, which might contribute to its apparent superior properties. However, there was no concentration-dependent stabilization due to citrate buffer and it would appear that the chelating effect of citrate is not wholly responsible for the differential effects observed between citrate buffer and acetate buffer.
