Definitions
- the present invention relates to percutaneous or transdermal drug delivery. More specifically, die invention relates to a topical absorption/penetration enhancing agent for use in the delivery of a physiologically active agent to an animal, including a human. The invention also relates to a system for the non-occlusive delivery to an animal of a physiologically active agent across a dermal surface or mucosal membrane of die animal. Transdermal drug formulations of the present invention may be used for local application or systemic delivery.
- the prevention or treatment of local or topical disease states or conditions of the skin has traditionally used simple non-occlusive delivery systems.
- These drug delivery systems usually include a volatile and/or non-volatile medium whereby a composition of the drug and medium is topically applied to the skin, generally in the vicinity of or directly on the area of skin to be treated.
- Such delivery systems usually take the form of emulsions, creams, ointments, foams, gels, liquids, sprays and aerosols.
- These delivery systems are generally used to treat skin inflammations, soft-tissue contusions, parasites, fungal and bacterial topical infection and topical analgesia.
- the limitation with this type of delivery system is that systemic drugs are generally not suitable for this type of administration.
- Some major problems widi me current state of me art relate to a lack of efficacy of systemic drugs because of me low drug flux across me skin, as observed for drugs such as testosterone, amlodipine, fentanyl, buprenorphine and many others. Odier drugs, such as glyceryl trinitrate, NitrobidTM (a drug for the treatment of angina), are difficult to deliver by these systems due to me inability to adequately control the rate of drug delivery, or die requirement for a very large application area.
- Other problems with me poor dermal penetration of drugs is mat the drug can be easily washed off or transferred to clothes, other surfaces or other animals.
- the dermal delivery of drugs may represent the oldest form of drug delivery in human history.
- Transdermal systemic drug delivery provides an effective method of achieving improved bioavailability for physiologically active substances where the drugs are poorly absorbed by traditional routes of delivery. It can also be used where oral dosing is poorly tolerated or not possible.
- Transdermal formulations are however limited. For example polar drugs tend to penetrate the skin too slowly. Since most drugs are of a polar nature this limitation is significant, as is the fact that many drugs cause irritation at the site of topical application.
- thermodynamic activity of a drug in a dermal formulation is proportional to the concentration of the drug and the selection of the vehicle. According to the laws of thermodynamics, the maximum activity of a drug is related to that of me pure drug crystal.
- penetration enhancers to increase me permeability of the dermal surface and has generally proven to be more convenient and effective.
- transdermal patch devices are like bandages which are attached to the surface of intact skin for prolonged periods of time to allow a desired systemic delivery of a drug or other physiologically active agent.
- transdermal patch devices occlude the skin and trap me drug, together with volatiles and vehicle excipients, between the skin and an outer impermeable backing membrane. The membrane prevents the evaporation or diffusion of vehicle excipients, volatiles and drug into an environment other than the target skin site.
- the prolonged length of time required for transfer of the drug and excipients from the patch into the skin can and often does result in local skin irritation.
- the irritation is caused by prolonged contact on the skin by me drug, volatiles, vehicle excipients, or the adhesive used to attach the patch device to the skin.
- the occlusive nature of the patch device also restricts the natural ability of the skin to "breathe", increasing the risk of irritation. Wim added problems of complex and costly manufacturing processes for transdermal patch devices mere is a need for improved transdermal drug delivery systems.
- the rate of drug delivery across a dermal surface can be increased by dermal penetration enhancers.
- dermal penetration enhancers The problem with most known dermal penetration enhancers is that they are often toxic, irritating or allergenic. These enhancers tend to be proton accepting solvents such as dimemylsulfoxide and dime yacetamide. More recently, 2-pyrrolidine, N.N- diethyl-/7i-toluamide (Deet), l-dodecal-azacycloheptane-2-one (Azone ® ), N,N- dimethylformamide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidine and calcium thioglycolate have been reported as effective enhancers. However, difficulties remain with such dermal enhancers because me problem of irritation at the site of application has not been overcome.
- ese compounds The most critical problem with ese compounds however is eir toxicity. If a compound when used as a dermal enhancer is toxic, irritating or allergenic, then that compound is -unsuitable for application to the animal body. Dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl acetamide are not clinically acceptable for mese reasons. Although Deet and Azone ® have lower reported toxicities, ieir toxicity is still such that they are not widely used. It is possible mat Azone ® may be employed as a dermal penetration enhancer if the amount applied is sufficiently small so as not to be appreciably toxic, irritating or allergenic to the animal.
- thermodynamic activity of a drug can be increased by employing supersaturated systems which give rise to unusually high thermodynamic potentials [Coldman, et al. , J. Pharm. Sci. , 58(9), 119, 1969].
- topical vehicles relying on supersaturation have the major limitation of formulation instability, both prior to and during application to the skin. As such, they are of limited clinical value widiin a non-occlusive volatile:non- volatile delivery vehicle, because as soon as the formulation comes into contact with a person's clothing or the like, the drug often precipitates; hence the formulation is no longer supersaturated and any enhanced percutaneous absorption ceases.
- German patent application DE 4334553-A1 to Jenapharm GmbH discloses a pharmaceutical liquid system consisting of a drug (diclofenac), a lipophilic phase, a volatile component and appropriate antioxidants, preservatives or stabilisers. This system relies on supersaturation to increase the flux rate of dermal abso ⁇ tion. An application chamber is used to prevent accidental precipitation of the supersaturated drug delivery system over the application time of 150 minutes.
- Japanese patent JP 61-268631 to Showa Denko KK discloses dermal penetration enhancers suitable for use with water-soluble drugs.
- the dermal penetration enhancers disclosed include 1-5 carbon fatty acid esters of para-aminobenzoic acid but meir chemical structures are quite distinct from the compounds used in the present invention, and the physicochemical properties of the 1-5 carbon fatty acid esters of para-aminobenzoic acid are markedly different to those of the present invention.
- the octanol-water partition coefficients for all the 1-5 carbon fatty acid esters of para-aminobenzoic acid are at least 200 fold lower than those of the present invention.
- the preferred dermal penetration enhancer disclosed in JP 61-268631 is me 2 carbon fatty acid ester of para-aminobenzoic acid (or Benzocaine) which has an octanol-water partition coefficient which is more than 8000 fold lower than those of the present invention.
- the preferred dermal penetration enhancer disclosed in JP 61-268631 has significant pharmacological properties in mat it is a local anaesthetic, which has also been reported to cause irritant and allergic skin reactions.
- the compounds used in the present invention fulfil the ideal properties of a dermal penetration enhancer in that they are non-irritant and pharmacologically inert [Barry, B. W. Vehicle Effect: What Is an Enhancer? In: Topical Drug Bioavailability, Bioequivalence, and Penetration. Shah, V. P.; Maibach, H. I. Eds. Plenum Press: New York, 1993; pp 261-276.].
- me only formulations mat have been employed clinically are either for local merapies, such as topical minoxidil and topical non-steroidal antiinflammatories, or for transdermal drug delivery of compounds which readily diffuse across me skin such as glyceryl trinitrate and isosorbide dinitrate.
- me permeability coefficient of sex hormones for example, are an order of magnitude lower man glyceryl trinitrate, a marked penetration enhancement effect would be needed to achieve clinically acceptable transdermal drug delivery.
- a transdermal drug delivery system which comprises at least one physiologically active agent or prodrug thereof and at least one dermal penetration enhancer; characterised in mat the dermal penetration enhancer is a safe skin-tolerant ester sunscreen.
- the present invention also provides use of a safe skin-tolerant ester sunscreen as a dermal penetration enhancer
- the present inventors have found a new class of dermal penetration enhancers being skin- tolerant ester sunscreens, which are generally considered safe by the FDA (US).
- Compounds such as octyl dimethyl-para-aminobenzoate (Padimate 0) and octyl salicylate have been extensively used over die last ten to twenty years as safe and effective sunscreens in concentrations up to 8% v/v for Padimate O and 5 % v/v for octyl salicylate.
- Dermal penetration enhancers of the present invention are preferably esters of formula (I):
- R 1 is hydrogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halide, hydroxy or NR 3 R 4 ;
- R 2 is long chain alkyl
- R 3 and R* are each independently hydrogen, lower alkyl or R 3 and R 4 together with me nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic ring; n is 0 or 1 ; and q is 1 or 2. More preferably the ester is a long chain alkyl para-am inobenzoate, long chain alkyl dimethyl-para-aminobenzoate, long chain alkyl cinnamate, long chain alkyl methoxycinnamate or long chain alkyl salicylate; most preferably octyl dimethyl-para- aminobenzoate, octyl para-memoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate or isoamyl salicylate.
- the drug delivery systems according to the invention may comprise any physiologically active agent together with the penetration enhancer inco ⁇ orated into a dosage form for topical application to the skin or mucous membranes of animals.
- Suitable dosage forms include creams, lotions, gels, ointments, suppositories, mousses, spray, for example nasal sprays, aerosols, buccal and sublingual tablets, gingival and buccal patches or any one of a variety of transdermal devices for use in the continuous administration of systematically active drugs by abso ⁇ tion through the skin, oral mucosa or other membranes.
- suitable vehicles are given in US Patent Nos.
- Physiologically active agents that may be used in the percutaneous or transdermal drug delivery system of the present invention include any locally or systemically active agents which are compatible wid the dermal penetration enhancers of the present invention and which can be delivered dirough the skin with the assistance of the dermal penetration enhancer to achieve a desired effect.

- a pharmaceutical compounding agent in drug delivery systems according to the second aspect of the present invention, whilst a pharmaceutical compounding agent, co-solvent, surfactant, emulsifier, antioxidant, preservative, stabiliser, diluent or a mixture of two or more of said components may be inco ⁇ orated, these must be compatible with the ability of the system to become touch-dry after application.
- the dosage of the physiologically active agent may often be less than that conventionally used. It is proposed that, a dosage near the lower end of the useful range of the particular agent may be employed initially and increased as indicated from the observed response if necessary.
- the concentration of physiologically active agent used in the drug delivery system will depend on its properties and may be equivalent to that normally utilised for the particular agent in conventional formulations. Both the amount of physiologically active agent and the amount of penetration enhancer will be influenced by the type of effect desired. For example, if a more localised effect is required in treating a superficial infection with an antibacterial agent, lower amounts of physiologically active agents and lower concentrations of enhancer may be appropriate. Where deeper penetration is desired, as in the case of local anaesthesia, a higher concentration of enhancer may be appropriate.
- the concentration of abso ⁇ tion/penetration enhancer may be in the range from 10-10,000 weight percent of abso ⁇ tion/penetration enhancer based upon the weight of active ingredient.
- the ratio of penetration enhancer to active ingredient may vary considerably and will be governed as much as anything, by the pharmacological results that are required to be achieved. In principle, it is desirable tiiat as little abso ⁇ tion enhancer as possible is used. On the other hand, for some actives, it may well be that the upper range of 10,000% by weight will be required. It is preferred that the penetration enhancer and active are in approximately equal proportions.
- the drug delivery system delivers the physiologically active agent to a animal without the need for an occlusive patch device.
- the efficacy of known systemic drug delivery systems, and in particular transdermal patch devices is maintained, and in some cases is increased by use of non-occlusive, percutaneous or transdermal drug delivery systems of the present invention.
- a particular advantage of the non-occlusive drug delivery system of the present invention is that patient compliance is improved as the system does not occlude the skin or membrane and therefore local irritation and allergic sensitisation problems arising from prolonged exposure of the skin to both the delivery system of occlusive transdermal patch devices and the adhesive used to affix these patches to the skin are reduced.

- the drug delivery system preferably comprises the active agent intimately mixed with a non-volatile dermal penetration enhancer and a volatile liquid. Where the drug delivery system is applied to the skin, the active agent and non-volatile liquid are thermodynamically driven into the skin as the volatile liquid 5 evaporates. Once within the skin the non-volatile liquid may either disrupt the lipid matrix and/or act as a solubilizer to allow an enhanced penetration rate of the active agent through the skin and into the subject being treated. In this way, the dermal penetration enhancer acts as a vehicle and many systemic active agents are able to be transdermally administered to an animal. 0
- the non-volatile dermal penetration enhancer is readily absorbed into the stratum corneum in sufficient quantities to form a reservoir or depot of the dermal penetration enhancer within the stratum corneum.
- the dermal penetration enhancer also contains the active agent to be administered and as the dermal penetration enhancer crosses 5 through the skin to form the skin-depot, the active agent contained therein is transported through the skin and contained within the depot.

- the effectiveness of the penetration enhancers are illustrated by measuring the skin penetration of formulations of a number of representative physiologically active agents with the dermal penetration enhancers. Also, the skin penetration of physiologically active agents was measured with other prior art penetration enhancers as well as formulations of the physiologically active agents with common adjuvants, which serve as control formulations. The comparisons made generally consisted of measuring the relative penetration through shed snake skin of the various formulations. In every case, those formulations which contained the dermal penetration enhancers delivered more of the active agent through the skin than did the corresponding control formulation or commercial preparation.
