Definitions
- the present invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical composition of taxanes and a method for preparation thereof.
- the present invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical composition of Paclitaxel and a method for preparation thereof.
- the present invention also relates to a non-ionic solvent having a conductivity value of less than or equal to 5.0 micro semens, which is capable of providing a stabilized pharmaceutical composition comprising a taxane and methods for the preparation of such solvents.
- Taxane derivatives have found wide acceptance for treatment of variety of tumors, especially ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, prostate cancer and AIDS related kaposi's sarcoma. Taxanes have also been shown to be effective against other type of cancers, such as melanoma, lymphoma, and those developed in the neck and head.
- the scientific literature is replete with reports of the efficacy of taxanes in the treatment of variety of unrelated conditions viz. neoplasm in the skin, gastric cancer, polycystic kidney disease etc. Their wide spectrum in vivo activity against malignant tumors has enabled them to be studied as a key therapeutic agent in the treatment of diseases resistant to other anticancer therapies.
- Taxane derivatives currently in clinical practice include Paclitaxel (Wani MC, et al., JAm Chem Soc, 1971, 9JL 2325-2327) and Docetaxel (US 4,814,470), which are marketed under the brand name of Taxol ® and Taxotere ® respectively.
- a marketed Taxol ® composition is a solution for injection comprising Paclitaxel, cremophor EL and ethanol in a vial, wherein the concentrated solution must be further diluted with normal saline (NS), 5% dextrose in water (D5W) and 5% dextrose in normal saline (D5NS) prior to administration.
- a marketed Taxotere ® composition is a solution for injection comprising of Docetaxel and Polysorbate 80. This concentrate is mixed with an initial diluent (13% ethanol in water for injection) supplied in another vial and further diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% dextrose prior to injection.
- Cremophor EL is commercially available polyoxyethylated castor oil supplied by M/s BASF. The use of cremophor EL has distinct advantages such as stimulating haemopoiesis reconstituting capacity in mammals and promotes protection in mammals, subjected to anticancer treatments such as radiation and/or chemotherapy, as described by Bertoncello Ivan in WO 91/02531.
- cremophor EL is not only effective in solubilizing Paclitaxel but also offers a distinct advantage of stimulating haemopoiesis reconstituting capacity, however, its use is associated with certain toxic and hypersensitive reactions, which limits the use of cremophor-paclitaxel formulation in various clinical settings. Further,
- Paclitaxel precipitates upon dilution with infusion fluid and exhibit a loss of potency of greater than 60% after storage for 12 weeks at 5O 0 C. The loss of potency is attributed to the decomposition of paclitaxel during storage. It was further reported that taxane compositions using crude polyoxyethylated castor oil or Polysorbate as disclosed by
- cremophor El has other limitations such as presence of high ionic content, metallic and oxidizing impurities, which further destabilizes the paclitaxel in a pharmaceutical composition thereby rendering it unsafe for patient administration.
- the final pH of the formulation goes invariably to an acidic range, which in turn could cause administration site reactions, thereby further causing patient discomfort.
- Prescribing information of Taxol ® which has pH in the acidic range, indicates that the said formulation causes injection site reactions in approximately 13% of patients and includes erythema, tenderness, skin discoloration, or swelling at the injection site.
- the aforementioned methods wherein an acid is added further has the limitation that pH of the formulation needs to be maintained constantly within a range of 4-6. Deviation of pH to higher (alkaline) values, results in degradation of the taxane composition. Thus it provides only a narrow pH range to work on.
- Zhang et al in WO 2001/072300 disclose a taxane formulation in polyethoxylated castor oil, which is stabilized by addition of a metal salt of an acid.
- Preferred acids are gluconic acid, amino acid, ascorbic acid, pamitic acid, citric acid, an alpha or beta hydroxy acid, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, hydrofluoric acid, alpha-hydroxy methyl sulfinic acid, benzoic acid, sulfonic acid, and the metal salt is iron, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium, manganese, aluminum, tin, platinum etc.
- the carboxylate anion content is lowered by either contacting the cremophor El with an aluminum oxide bed to separate the carboxylate anions as well as other impurities or by the addition of an acid, particularly a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or nitric acid to the formulation.
- an acid particularly a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or nitric acid to the formulation.
- adsorbents such as aluminum oxide
- adsorbing agents when used for purification of cremophor require critical monitoring for their presence in the final preparation.
- Theses adsorbing agents if present, even in traces, may have detrimental effect rendering such formulations highly toxic for human administration.
- use of these adsorbing agents calls for use of specific filters or purification process, which not only makes the entire process complex but also costly. Moreover, needless to mention, this would increase the cost of manufacturing.
- Kysilka et al in US 2005/0142225 disclose use of a silica gel column to reduce the content of acidic and basic compounds present in polyoxyethylated castor oil for producing a stable taxane composition.
- Dralle-Voss et al disclose a process for purification of cremophor by treating it with a mixture of adsorbents such as aluminium oxide and silicate.
- Anevski et al. in US 6,388,112 disclose yet another method for purification of cremophor which involves use of an activated carbon and an ion exchange resin column for reducing the amount of salts, acids and various other ionic impurities present in cremophor.
- Burman et al in US 2005/0016926 disclose use of reverse-phase chromatography to reduce the ionic, metallic and oxidizing impurities content of the cremophor.
- James et al in NL 95/00340 disclose a stabilized, pharmaceutically acceptable composition of Paclitaxel and disclose that pre-treatment of the surfactant with a molecular sieve material preferably a porous aluminium oxide that allows a paclitaxel solution having long-term stability to be formed.
- ionic exchange resin, chromatographic columns or reverse phase column chromatographic technique for the purification of cremophor requires judicious selection of solvent systems, resins and columns.
- Kang Hoon Seok et al in KR 2000061111 disclose a pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel injection comprising ethyl acetate fractional extract of cremophor, povidone, polyethylene glycol and assistant emulsifier.
- the KR 2000061111 discloses that when only ethyl acetate fractional extract of cremophor is utilized in preparation of paclitaxel injection, it showed inferior stability than that of a marketed formulation. In order to improve the stability, use of various vegetable oils or polyethylene glycol ester of mixed fatty acids originated from vegetable oil as assistant solubilizer is recommended.
- the disclosed method suffers from the limitation that the desired stability is achieved in this method only by addition of various vegetable oils or polyethylene glycol ester of mixed fatty acids originated from vegetable oil as assistant solubilizer. Additions of such extraneous additives are frowned upon by Health authorities, rendering such compositions unacceptable.
- a stabilized formulation of paclitaxel is obtained either by addition of an extraneous agent such as acidifying, chelating, solubilizing or stabilizing agents into the pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel in alcohol and cremophor EL or by utilization of a purified cremophor.
- an extraneous agent such as acidifying, chelating, solubilizing or stabilizing agents
- the present invention is a step forward in this direction in providing a novel, simple and economical method for a stable taxane composition.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized taxane composition suitable for parenteral administration.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized taxane composition suitable for parenteral administration, which avoids addition of any extraneous agents such as stabilizing agents, chelating agents, acidifying agents and co- solubilizing agents for stabilizing taxane formulation.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized taxane composition suitable for parenteral administration, which utilizes non-ionic solvents, purified by a method, which is simple, convenient, economical and patient friendly.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized taxane composition suitable for parenteral administration, which utilizes non-ionic solvents purified by a method free from the limitations associated with the prior art methods.
- a further object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized paclitaxel composition suitable for parenteral administration.
- a still further object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized paclitaxel composition suitable for parenteral administration, which avoids addition of any extraneous agents such as stabilizing agents, chelating agents, acidifying agents and co- solubilizing agents for stabilizing the paclitaxel formulation.
- Yet further object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized paclitaxel composition suitable for parenteral administration, which utilizes non-ionic solvents, purified by a method, which is simple, convenient, economical and patient friendly.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a stabilized paclitaxel composition suitable for parenteral administration, which utilizes non-ionic solvents purified by a method free from the limitations associated with the prior art methods.
- Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a simple, convenient and economical method for purification of non-ionic solvents, which renders such non- ionic solvents suitable for utilization in manufacture of a stable pharmaceutical composition of taxanes .
- Yet further object of the present invention is to provide a method for purification of non-ionic solvents, which is free from the limitations associated with the prior art methods.
- Still further object of the present invention is to provide a method for treatment of cancer comprising administration of such stable formulation of taxane to the human or animal in need of such treatment.
- the present invention is directed to purification of non-ionic solvents suitable for preparation of stabilized injection compositions containing at least a taxane. Accordingly, it is a primary aspect of the present invention to provide a method for preparing a purified non-ionic solvent, which when used in a taxane composition has a stabilizing effect on such composition.
- the present invention also provides a method for preparation of a stabilized pharmaceutical composition using such purified non-ionic solvents.
- the stabilized pharmaceutical compositions produced using the purified non- ionic solvent of the present invention have been shown to have a shelf life greater than the compositions produced from untreated/unpurified non-ionic solvents.
- solvent extraction technique could be used as a selective separation procedure for isolating and concentrating a valuable, non- ionic, non-polar solvent from impurities present therein, with the aid of a two layer solvent system having an aqueous or polar phase and a non-aqueous or non-polar water-immiscible organic phase.
- the purification of non-ionic solvents by the method of the present invention utilizing an aqueous and a water-immiscible organic solvent phases involves no critical process steps, and no particular significance need to be given for pH modification of the final formulation, for obtaining a stabilized formulation of taxanes.
- a stable formulation of paclitaxel can be obtained by utilization of a simple purification technique of cremophor as disclosed herein and utilizing such purified cremophor for preparation of paclitaxel composition, involving neither addition of any extraneous agent such as stabilizing agent, chelating agent, oxidizing agent, preservatives nor adjustment of pH with a pharmaceutically acceptable pH modifier.
- the commercially available non-ionic solvent is dissolved in a water- immiscible organic solvent, which is then washed with fractions of more polar, aqueous solvent.
- the two liquid phases are then allowed to separate.
- the addition of an aqueous phase to an organic phase containing non-ionic solvent selectively removes all impurities leaving behind the pure solvent in the organic phase.
- the degradation products of paclitaxel include Baccatin II, ethyl ester side chain of paclitaxel, 10-deacetyl paclitaxel (DAP), lO-deacetyl-7-epi-paclitaxel (10-DA-7epi- T) and 7-epi-paclitaxel (7-epi-T). From Table -I, it would be abundantly evident that the formulation of paclitaxel prepared by using cremophor purified by the method of the present invention shows highly superior stability profile in terms of degradation products. Thus, in essence the present invention provides a simple, convenient, less time consuming and economical process for purification of cremophor.

- the present invention provides a method for selectively removing the impurities from non-ionic solvents.
- the present invention provides a method to obtain a purified non-ionic solvent system, which has a conductivity value of less than or equal to 5.0.
- the present invention is primarily directed to a method of purification of non- ionic solvents and their utilization in preparation of a stabilized pharmaceutical composition of taxanes.
- the present invention is directed towards a solvent extraction process comprising two immiscible liquid phases; an aqueous solvent and a water-immiscible organic solvent, which selectively removes the impurities from the non-ionic solvents and results in purified non-ionic solvent, which has reduced conductivity.
- non-ionic solvent refers to a condensation product of an alkylene oxide and a lipid or fatty acid.
- the preferred non-ionic solvent includes a polyoxyethylated castor oil such as that sold by M/s BASF under the trade name Cremophor EL ® or Cremophor ELP ® .
- water-immiscible organic solvent refers to an organic solvent, which is immiscible with water.
- water-immiscible solvents are, but not limited to, halogentated hydrocarbon solvents such as
- Dichloromethane Carbon tetrachloride, Chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, lower chlorinated alkanes containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms etc. and non-halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as cyclohexane, n-hexane, n-heptane etc.
- the hydrocarbon solvents the halogenated hydrocarbon solvents are more preferred and amongst the halogenated hydrocarbon solvents, Dichloromethane is highly preferred.
- aqueous solvent refers to water containing solvents. Water is a preferred solvent, whereas de-ionized water is more preferred and Milli-Q water of HPLC grade is highly preferred aqueous solvent.
- conductivity refers to the ability of a solvent to conduct electric current. Since the charge on ions in solution facilitates the conductance of electrical current, the conductivity of a solution is proportional to its ionic concentration. Even though, the conductivity is roughly proportional to the concentration of ions in solution, but all ions do not conduct equally. Ions that move through solution easily conduct better.
- cremophor Normally, after purifying the crude cremophor by the method described in the present invention, a solution of cremophor in water is prepared. Normally, the ratio of cremophor to water is 10:1 w/w. then the two electrodes are placed in the sample and current flowing through the sample is measured. Normally, at least 25% drop in conductivity is observed.
- conductivity capacity of the commercially available non-ionic solvents, particularly, cremophor increases on storage.
- the commercially available cremophor has a conductivity value of at least 5.5, normally in the range of 5.5 to 7.5, which could further increase depending on the storage duration. It was found that, the cremophor purified by the method of the present invention, has a conductivity value of less than or equal to 5 micro Semens.
- cremophor purified by the method of the present invention produces a stable pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel.
- the purified cremophor having a conductivity value in the range of 2.0 to 3.5 are preferred and those having a conductivity values below 2.5 are highly preferred for preparation of a stable pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel.
- the process employed for the purification of non-ionic solvents, liquid-liquid extraction process is carried out according to the well-established protocols of liquid extractions. However, standard deviation form this procedure, further enhancing efficiency of liquid-liquid extraction method are possible and therefore, the procedural steps should be not construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
- the non-ionic solvent is first dissolved in a water- immiscible organic solvent.
- both, the non-ionic solvent and water-immiscible organic solvent are used in 1:1 ratio.
- Suitable methods to enhance the dissolution rate such as mixing could be employed to get a uniform solution.
- Aqueous solvent, preferably Milli-Q water is added to the above uniform solution to form a biphasic system. It is highly preferred to add the aqueous solvent in 1: 1 ratio of water- immiscible organic solvent. Further, stirring or agitation could be employed to effect the extraction of non-ionic solvent in two immiscible liquid phases.
- a continuous stirring with the help of mechanical stirrer for about 2 to 30 minutes with 10 to 250 rpm is employed to perform the extraction.
- the biphasic mixture is allowed to stand for phase separation.
- 12 hrs or more are required to have a clear phase separation at room temperature, when a biphasic system using dichloromethane as water-immiscible organic solvent and Milli-Q water as aqueous solvent is utilized in purification of commercially available cremophor.
- the two different layers of water- immiscible organic solvent and aqueous solvent are separated.
- the organic phase is further washed with equal volumes of aqueous solvent once more or twice.
- the combined aqueous phases obtained during the abovementioned process could further be extracted with equal volumes of water-immiscible organic solvent. Then, all the fractions of water-immiscible organic phases are combined and the organic solvent is evaporated to obtain the purified non-ionic solvent, having a conductivity of below 5.0. The obtained, purified non-ionic solvent is further dried under vacuum at temperature of about 50 0 C to remove residual organic solvents and moisture to obtain a dried, purified non-ionic solvent.
- the weight ratio of non-ionic solvent to organic phase is 1 :1 and it is further highly preferred that both the liquid phases viz., the aqueous phase and immiscible organic phase are used in 1:1 ratio.
- the method of the present invention reduces the conductivity of the commercially available cremophor to a value of below 5.0 from an intial value of 5.5 to 7.5, thereby rendering it suitable for preparation of a pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel.
- the present invention also provides a pharmaceutically stable formulation of paclitaxel made using a purified non-ionic solvent and alcohol.
- the stabilized pharmaceutical composition of paclitaxel produced using the non-ionic solvent purified by the method of the present invention has been shown to have a shelf life greater than the compositions produced from commercially available non-ionic solvent.
- the stabilized formulation of paclitaxel includes an alcohol, which may be added to the non-ionic solvent before or after combining the said solvent with paclitaxel.
- the alcohol may be a dehydrated alcohol.
- Compositions suitable for parenteral administration such as injection or infusion may be prepared by diluting the compositions with a suitable parenteral fluid prior to parenteral administration, injection or infusion.
- each ml contains 6 mg of paclitaxel, and 527 mg of purified cremophor and 49-50% v/v dehydrated alcohol.
