Definitions

  • melatonin Hormones such as the indole hormone, melatonin, are widely distributed in both plant and animal sources. Melatonin can be found in human milk, bananas, beets, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Chemically, melatonin is N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine, a derivative of serotonin, which in turn is derived from tryptophan. Melatonin is a ubiquitous natural neurotransmitter-like compound produced primarily by the pineal gland, and is involved in numerous aspects of the biological and physiologic regulation of body functions.
  • melatonin may also be effective in breast cancer, fibrocystic breast diseases, and colon cancer. Melatonin has been shown to modify immunity, the stress response, and certain aspects of the aging process; some studies have demonstrated improvements in sleep disturbances and “sundowning” in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
  • the antioxidant role of melatonin may be of potential use for conditions in which oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiologic processes.
  • the multiplicity of actions and variety of biological effects of melatonin suggest the potential for a range of clinical and wellness-enhancing uses, especially considering that as one ages, the production of this key hormone goes into steady decline. Indeed, for an octogenarian, the amount produced is quite nominal.
  • melatonin release Through melatonin release, the pineal gland maintains the internal clock governing the natural rhythms of body function. This apparent clock-setting property of melatonin has led to the suggestion that it is a “chronobiotic” substance that alters and potentially normalizes biological rhythms and adjusts the timing of other critical processes and biomolecules (hormones, neurotransmitters, etc.) that, in turn, exert numerous peripheral actions.
  • the sleep-inducing effects of melatonin have advantages over conventional hypnotics, since melatonin, itself, is not a hypnotic drug. Melatonin only induces a natural state of sleepiness, and does not have the adverse side-effects of conventional hypnotics and prescription sleeping aids.
  • Melatonin has previously been used pharmaceutically, and has been prepared for oral administration (see, e.g., WO1995/003043). These preparations include melatonin formulated with a cyclodextrin (WO 1999/047175), and as a microemulsion (U.S. Pat. No. 5,362,745). However, as with most oral preparations, it can take more than 30 minutes after administration for the blood plasma concentration of melatonin to reach its peak. Goldberg, M J, Bergstrom, R F R, Smith, B P, Simcox, E A, Thomasson, H R, Shipley, L A: Sleep Research 1997: 26:101.
  • melatonin is compounded in its undissolved, or solid, state.
  • any drug to be absorbed into the bloodstream it must be dissolved, i.e., in solution.
  • Due to melatonin's poor water solubility much of the dosage from a currently available preparation is swallowed undissolved in the saliva, leading to poor and erratic absorption in the GI tract. Accordingly, hormone drugs such as melatonin having low to poor water solubility, are expected to be poorly suited for buccal or sublingual administration.

Therefore, this invention as claimed, provides a unique composition, delivery system and method of administration for melatonin and other hormones having low to poor water solubility.
  • the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for sublingual or buccal administration of a hormone, e.g., melatonin, having relatively low to poor solubility in water or other aqueous solutions.

Accordingly, embodiments of the subject invention include compositions wherein an estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or dihydrotestosterone, or combinations thereof, are substituted for or used with melatonin. It would also be understood that these hormones may be in their respective derivative form. Therefore, reference to melatonin, estrogens, progesterone, testosterone, or dihydrotestosterone includes any salt, prodrug, metabolite, isomer, or derivative thereof having low to poor water or aqueous solubility.

  • the composition of the subject invention advantageously provides the active ingredient, e.g., a hormone such as melatonin having relatively low to poor solubility in aqueous solvents, in a dissolved form. Being in a dissolved form, the melatonin can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream through the oral mucosa, without having to be dissolved by the aqueous environment provided by saliva in the mouth or in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • a further advantage of the drug delivery system of the subject invention includes enhanced oral mucosal absorption of the active provided in the composition because less drug is swallowed as undissolved drug released from the dosage form. Accordingly, this drug delivery system provides for rapid onset of drug action with higher and more consistent bioavailability.
  • the present invention also provides a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition as described above, which involves dissolving a hormone having low to poor aqueous solubility, such as melatonin, in a pharmaceutically acceptable non-aqueous solvent to form a drug solution, mixing the solution with particles of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to afford coating, absorption or adsorption onto the particles, and then, if desired, mixing the adsorbed or absorbed particle's with other ingredients, e.g., the pharmaceutically acceptable excipients, to form the final composition.

  • a hormone having low to poor aqueous solubility such as melatonin.
  • the description refers to melatonin as the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), or drug, but would be understood by persons having ordinary skill in the art to include other hormones which have low to poor water solubility in aqueous environment or in aqueous biological fluids such as saliva or gastrointestinal fluids.
  • the invention further relates to a method of manufacture for the sublingual or buccal dosage form and use of the subject preparation for sublingual or buccal melatonin delivery and treatment of patients in need of melatonin therapy.
  • This invention relates to a novel delivery system of a drug, such as melatonin, providing a unique mechanism to enhance delivery of the drug.
  • This unique system is designed to deliver melatonin through the buccal or sublingual mucosa and directly into systemic circulation. This is unlike any of the currently marketed sublingual or buccal products containing a hormone, such as melatonin, because those marketed products are formulated in a solid form, such as an emulsion or solid dispersion, so that much of the melatonin is incompletely dissolved in the local buccal or sublingual delivery area.
  • Melatonin is poorly soluble in water or other aqueous biological fluids and, when delivered in a undissolved state, as in the currently available melatonin products, the drug remains undissolved in saliva and must therefore be swallowed in order to be absorbed in any substantial amount. Thus, for these products, the onset of action, absorption and first pass metabolism are no different than from swallowing an immediate-release oral tablet or capsule containing undissolved melatonin. Such tablets are considered to be immediate-release only due to the rapid disentegration of the dosage form. These available tablets release melaoning in an undissolved state, and drug absorption is limited by how quickly the drug dissolves in the local delivery area.
  • the subject invention advantageously provides the active drug, e.g., a hormone such as melatonin having low to poor water or aueous solubility, already in solution as present in the final dosage form.
  • the hormone such as melatonin is not provided as an emulsion or solid dispersion, but is completely dissolved and in solution. Therefore melatonin sublingual/buccal delivery is enhanced by this invention, because melatonin does not have to dissolve in the saliva before being absorbed.
  • the area for absorption is localized around the disentegrating tablet.
  • Having the drug solubilized and contained to a local delivery site keeps the drug in solution, and thus having high thermodynamic activity which enhances transmucosal absorption.
  • the rapid onset of melatonin action from the delivery system provided by the subject invention can provide for rapid drug absorption, resulting in drug plasma pharmacokenetics more similar to an intravenous injection, with none of the vicissitudes associated with gastrointestinal (GI) administration, e.g., poor absorption, erratic absorption, first pass metabolism, food and dietary supplements effects on oral bioavailability.

  • the melatonin sublingual tablets as embodied in this invention preferably range from 50 to 150 mg total tablet weight depending on the dosage.
  • In vitro drug dissolution testing from rapid release formulations is substantially complete within 15 minutes and the tablet disintegrates under the tongue typically within a few minutes, preferably less than 5 minutes, more preferably within one to three minutes, and most preferably within 30 seconds to about two minutes.
