Definitions
- This invention relates to a carrier system for administration of a therapeutic agent via a mucosal membrane.
- the carrier system exhibits enhanced adhesion to the mucosal membrane and provides improved bioavailability of the therapeutic agent.
- Buccal drug delivery systems with bioadhesive polymers as a platform for holding the system in place in the oral cavity after application have been described in the aforementioned U.S. Patents to Tsuk et al., to Nagai et al., to Hicks et al. and to Robinson.
- the drug is incorporated in a reservoir in the adhesive layer or embedded in the controlled release matrix without the use of any specific agent to promote drug dissolution and thereby enhance the thermodynamic activity of the drug in the matrix.
- a microcapsule encloses the drug as an added reservoir embedded in the adhesive layer of the bi-laminate drug delivery system.
- a method of adhering a delivery system was by hydration of a bioadhesive polymer matrix. Adhesion results from the entanglement of the hydrated polymer chains on the surface of the matrix with the glycoproteins of the mucosa. Under mild pressure such entanglement leads to a reinforcement of adhesion due to London dispersion forces (e.g. van der Waal's forces), as well as hydrophobic, ionic and hydrogen bonding forces that contribute to the adhesion strength.
- London dispersion forces e.g. van der Waal's forces
- the carboxy-functional polymers disclosed in Robinson are hydratable polymers which are useful for buccal delivery of drugs. These polymers rely solely on the adhesion of the delivery system followed by drug dissolution in the hydrophilic polymer matrix due to a body fluid such as saliva or its aqueous component to effect release of the drug.
- a body fluid such as saliva or its aqueous component to effect release of the drug.
- the chemical potential or the thermodynamic activity of the drug is built up to the point of saturation solubility of the drug in the micro-fluid environment of the polymer matrix. Consequently, the drug is released out of the matrix into the buccal interfacial environment at a rate dependent on the saturation solubility of the drug in the body fluid which permeates the matrix. Thus there is little control over the rate of release.
- polar drugs including zwitter-ionic therapeutic compounds such as bio-synthetic peptides which are subject to poor oral bioavailability
- zwitter-ionic therapeutic compounds such as bio-synthetic peptides which are subject to poor oral bioavailability
- solubility of these drugs is poor.
- the present invention contemplates an anhydrous but hydratable mucoadhesive monolithic polymeric matrix which includes amorphous fumed silica present in an amount sufficient to enhance adhesion of the polymeric matrix to mucosal tissue.
- the matrix may include a plasticized, film-forming cellulose ester.
- This present polymeric matrix is mucoadhesive, and is eminently well suited for systemic delivery of a wide variety of therapeutic agents via the mucous membranes of a patient, i.e., by buccal, vaginal or rectal route.
- Therapeutic agents which exhibit absorption problems by the gastro-intestinal route due to solubility limitations, pH or enzymatic degradation and/or extensive metabolism by the liver are particularly well suited for use in combination with the present carrier.
- These agents can be hydrophilic, hydrophobic or amphiphilic in nature and can belong to a specific therapeutic class or within an area covering cardiovascular, bronchodilation, growth-stimulating supplements, enzyme supplements, estrogen and androgen supplements, anti-anxiety, antidepressant, anti-parkinsonism, memory maintenance, memory retention or enhancement, birth-control, antibiotic, antiviral, antiprotozoal, vitamin, antidiabetic, gastro-intestinal, anticonvulsant, immunomodulation, nutritional supplements and appetite modulating therapy.

- FIGURE 2 is a sectional view showing the dosage form of FIGURE 1 enclosed within a protective envelope;
- FIGURE 3 is a sectional view of an alternative embodiment of the present therapeutic dosage form having a retrieving element therein;
- FIGURE 4 is a planar view of an alternative embodiment of the present therapeutic dosage form also provided with a retrieving element; and FIGURE 5 is a sectional view of yet another embodiment of the present therapeutic dosage form showing an alternative retrieving element provided with perforations.
- mucoadhesive is a material that adheres to a mucosal tissue surface in-vivo and/or in-vitro. Such adhesion will adherently localize the dosage form onto the mucus membrane and requires the application of a force of at least about 50 dynes/cm to separate the mucoadhesive material from the mucus membrane. All mesh sizes are U.S. Sieve Series.
- the mucoadhesive carrier of the present invention can be fabricated in a wide variety of self-supporting sizes, shapes or forms that provide a therapeutic dosage form suitable for comfortable and convenient application and adhesion to the buccal, vaginal or rectal mucosa.
- the mucoadhesive carrier can be fabricated in the form of a disc of a suitable size and shape, a hard or soft film, or an implantable form, for example.
- An optional water-insoluble barrier film can be provided on the mucoadhesive carrier so as to render a side or face thereof non-adhesive.
- the present mucoadhesive carrier comprises a monolithic polymer matrix that is anhydrous but hydratable, and amorphous fumed silica present in an amount sufficient to enhance adhesion of the matrix to tissue as is more fully described hereinbelow.
- a therapeutic agent is distributed within the carrier as a solution or a dispersion therein.
- therapeutic agents capable of being delivered by the foregoing carrier are 17 ⁇ 5-estradiol, dehydroepiandrosterone, nifedipine, diltiezem, haloperidol, buprenorphine, meperidine, fentanyl, testosterone, progesterone, norethindrone, ethinyl estradiol, mestranol, oxandrolone, and the like.
- Therapeutic agents which are relatively insoluble in water can be combined with a polyol such as a polyethylene glycol (PEG) which is then admixed with the amorphous fumed silica to form the matrix.
- Therapeutic agents which are amphiphilic and water soluble also can be admixed with the hydrophilic polyol to form a dispersion which is then combined with the silica.
- Preferred polymers for the polymeric matrix are polyols, e.g., polyethylene glycols (PEG) having a number average molecular weight in the range of about 1500 to about 8500, preferably in the range of about 4000 to about 8000.
- PEG polyethylene glycols
- These polyols promote lowering of the dielectric constant of the aqueous environment to which the carrier is exposed and solubilize relatively insoluble agents thereby increasing the thermodynamic activity of the therapeutic agent in the monolithic polymer matrix. Enhancement of the diffusion of the therapeutic agent across the matrix into the mucosa and the capillary bed of the mucosal tissue underneath is thus achieved. Additionally, these polyols have the distinct advantage of being inert, pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvants.
- the mucoadhesive carrier composition can optionally include an additional amount of the same polyol or a derivative having a higher or lower number average molecular weight.
- the additional polyol is believed to function as a plasticizer and diffusion aid.
- Hydrophilic polyols which are water-soluble provide very favorable dissolution of the therapeutic agents. These hydrophilic polyols create a less polar aqueous environment by lowering the dielectric property of the aqueous solution of the mucosal environment. Thus, the hydrophilic polyols described herein are believed to function as a dissolution promoter and/or facilitator of therapeutic agent transport through the polymer matrix as well as interfacial transport across a biological membrane such as the mucosa.
- the mucoadhesive carrier composition is combined with a therapeutic agent as a dispersion or solution of the therapeutic agent in a stable melt-processable form of the polymer, such as polyethylene glycol having a melting point of at least about about 50°C. (about 120°F.).
- a therapeutic agent as a dispersion or solution of the therapeutic agent in a stable melt-processable form of the polymer, such as polyethylene glycol having a melting point of at least about about 50°C. (about 120°F.).
- the composition is processable by melt, solvent deposition or physical blending processes.
- Amorphous fumed silica is added to the polymeric matrix in a processable dry powder form.
- the amount of fumed silica present varies, depending on the nature of the polymeric matrix utilized in any given instance; however, the amount of fumed silica added is sufficient to enhance the adhesion of the polymeric matrix to mucosal tissue. If the polymeric matrix is constituted primarily by a polyol, the amount of fumed silica present preferably is at least about 10 percent by weight of the matrix. On the other hand, if the polymeric matrix also includes other known bioadhesives such as a carboxy-functional polymer, the amount of fumed silica present can be as low as about 2 percent by weight of the matrix, and preferably is at least about 3 percent by weight of the matrix.
- silica examples include fumed silicon dioxide such as Cab-o-sil (Degussa Corp., Teterboro, New Jersey), Aer-o-sil® (Degussa Corp.) or microporous precipitated silicon dioxide such as Sylloid ® (Davison Division, W. R. Grace Company) available commercially in food and pharmaceutical grades.
- the silica serves to provide a plurality of discrete particles that are distributed within and/or on the surface of the monolithic polymeric matrix of the present carrier.
- silica can serve as a reservoir for a therapeutic agent.
- mucoadhesion occurs due to bulk convective capillary flow of the aqueous mucus-loaded fluid into the micro-environment of the microporous silica particles.
- These discrete particles serve as hydrating absorbent components and are believed to draw components or portions of the glycoprotein from the mucous of the mucosal wall into the microporous silica particles at the surface and/or in the polymer matrix, as the case may be.
- During hydration of these water-insoluble microporous silica particles the entanglement of portions of mucoproteins from the mucosal wall occurs leading to a reinforced adhesion brought about by the naturally applied pressure of the mucosal wall which holds the drug delivery system in place.
- An optional bioadhesive such as a water-swellable, but water-insoluble, fibrous, cross-linked carboxy-functional polymer can also be present.
- This polymer contains a plurality of repeating units of which at least about 80 percent contain at least one carboxyl functionality and about 0.05 to about 1.5 percent cross-linking agent substantially free from polyalkenyl polyether, with the percentages being based upon the weights of unpolymerized repeating unit and cross-linking agent, respectively.
- at least about 90 percent of the repeating units contain at least one carboxyl functionality, and in still more preferred practice, at least 95 percent of those repeating units contain at least one carboxyl functionality.
- the bioadhesive is a reaction product of the polymerization of only a carboxyl-functional monomer and a cross-linking agent therefor.
- the bioadhesive contains about 0.1 to about 1 percent by weight of polymerized cross-linking agent.
- Such a bioadhesive is commercially available under the trademark Carbophil® from B.F. Goodrich, Cincinnati, Ohio.
- Other optional bioadhesives include polymers which are hydrophilic and water-dispersible, have free carboxylic groups and a relativey high base binding capacity.
- Preferred polymers include water dispersible polycarboxylated vinyl polymers. Polyacrylic acid polymers are particularly preferred.
- Suitable polyacrylic acid polymers include, but are not limited to, polyacrylic acid polymers lightly crosslinked with a polyalkenyl polyether such as those commercially available from B.F. Goodrich, Cincinnati, Ohio, under the trademarks Carbopol ® Ex 55 Resin, 434, 934P, 940 and 941.
- a polyalkenyl polyether such as those commercially available from B.F. Goodrich, Cincinnati, Ohio, under the trademarks Carbopol ® Ex 55 Resin, 434, 934P, 940 and 941.
- the cumulative mucoadhesive effect of these microporous silica particles on the carrier, with or without the inclusion of a known bioadhesive such as Carbopol ® , Carbophil and combinations thereof, has not been reported to the best of our knowledge.
- silica serving as a mucoadhesive, it can also serve as a reservoir for the controlled release of the therapeutic agents.
- Inclusion of a therapeutic agent loaded portion of silica powder serves as a reservoir for a variety of therapeutic agents or their derivatives with varying physical properties such as melting points, partition coefficient, crystal form and intrinsic dissolution rates.
- the mucoadhesive carrier composition can also be combined with known natural or synthetic hydratable adjuvants or a mixture thereof, such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (povidone) , sodium alginate, methyl cellulose, hydroxyl propyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycols, carbopol, polycarbophil, carbox vinyl copolymers, propylene glycol alginate, alginic acid, methyl methacrylate copolymers, (Eudragit ® type, from Rohm Pharma, N.Y., NY), tragacanth gum, guar gum, karaya gum, ethylene vinyl acetate, dimethylpolysiloxanes, polyoxyalkylene block copolymers (Poloxamers, the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association, Inc. name for a commercially available polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene block copolymer) hydroxyethylmethacrylate
- the dissolution of the therapeutic agent within the monolithic polymer matrix is enhanced by maintaining a high level of thermodynamic activity of the therapeutic agent. This activity is maintained by utilizing hydrophilic and hydrophobic excipients in combination, e.g., polycarbophil and glyceryl behenate, respectively, in the polymer matrix to control the release of the therapeutic agent for superior bioavailability.
- the resulting monolithic polymer matrix can be optionally laminated to a water-insoluble, but water-permeable or substantially water-impermeable, barrier film which does not contain the therapeutic agent.
- the barrier film serves as a backing to prevent or minimize back diffusion of the therapeutic agent and protect the extraneous tissues, such as gums and teeth, from direct exposure to the matrix.
- the composition of the water-insoluble barrier film is chosen in such a manner as to be compatible with the polymer matrix and so that it is stable and non-irritating to the patient.

Inc., Carmel, NY) and glyceryl behenate (Compritol®, Gattefosse Corporation, Elmsford, NY) together with a minor amount of a cellulose derivative.
