Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to stable oral dosage forms comprising spiro or dispiro 1 ,2,4-trioxolane antimalarials, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts, prodrugs and analogues and processes for their preparation.
- Malaria the most common parasitic disease of humans, remains a major health and economic burden in most tropical countries. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa, the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and Oceania are considered as malaria-risk areas. It leads to a heavy toll of illness and death, especially amongst children and pregnant women.
- the disease infects about 400 million people each year, and around two to three million people die from malaria every year.
- malaria parasites that infect human: Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae.
- sporozoites When a mosquito sucks the blood of human, sporozoites are transfused into the human body together with saliva of the mosquito. The sporozoites enter into the hepatocytes, reproduce asexually and finally enter into the blood stream. The parasites continue to multiply inside the red blood cells, until they burst and release large number of merozoites. This process continues, destroying a significant number of blood cells and causing the characteristic paroxysm ("chills and fever") associated with the disease. In the red blood cells, some of the merozoites become male or female gametocytes. These gametocytes are ingested by the mosquito when it feeds on blood. The gametocytes fuse in the vector's gut; sporozoites are produced and are migrated to the vector's salivary glands.
- the clinical symptoms of malaria are generally associated with the bursting of red blood cells causing an intense fever associated with chills that can leave the infected individual exhausted and bedridden. More severe symptoms associated with repeat infections and/or infection by Plasmodium falciparum include anaemia, severe headaches, convulsions, delirium and, in some instances, death.
- Quinine an antimalarial compound that is extracted from the bark of cinchona tree, is one of the oldest and most effective drugs in existence. Chloroquine and mefloquine are the synthetic analogs of quinine developed in 1940's, which due to their effectiveness, ease of manufacture, and general lack of side effects, became the drugs of choice. The downside to quinine and its derivatives is that they are short-acting and have bitter taste. Further, they fail to prevent disease relapses and are also associated with side effects commonly known as "Chinchonism syndrome" characterized by nausea, vomiting, dizziness, vertigo and deafness. However, in recent years, with the emergence of drug- resistant strains of parasite and insecticide-resistant strains of vector, the treatment and/or control of malaria is becoming difficult with these conventional drugs.
- the present invention relates to solid dosage forms of the various spiro or dispiro 1 ,2,4- trioxolanes antimalarial compounds disclosed in these patents/applications and are incorporated herein by reference.
- Trioxolane derivatives possess excellent potency, efficacy against Plasmodium parasites, and a lower degree of neurotoxicity, in addition to their structural simplicity and ease of synthesis. Furthermore, these compounds have half-lives which are believed to permit short-term treatment regimens comparing favorably to other artemisinin-like drugs.
- the therapeutic dose of trioxolane derivative may range between about 0.1-1000 mg/kg/day, in particular between about 1-100 mg/kg/day.
- the foregoing dose may be administered as a single dose or may be divided into multiple doses.
- a typical dosing schedule could be, for example, 2.0-1000 mg/kg weekly beginning 1-2 weeks prior to malaria exposure, continued up to 1-2 weeks post-exposure.
- Monotherapy with artemisinin (natural or synthetic) class of drugs might cure the patients within 3 days, however perceiving the potential threat of the malarial parasite developing resistance towards otherwise very potent artemisinin class of drugs, WHO had strictly called for an immediate halt to the provision of single-drug artemisinin malaria pills.
- Combination therapy in case of malaria retards the development of resistance, improve efficacy by lowering recrudescence rate, provides synergistic effect, and increase exposure of the parasite to the drugs.
- Artemsinin based combinations are available in the market for a long time.
- Artemether-lumafentrine was the first fixed dose antimalarial combination containing an artemisinin derivative and has been known since 1999.

- Active compound I Piperaquine phosphate and intragranular portion of microcrystallme cellulose and crospovidone were sieved through sieve BSS # 44 and mixed together in a double cone blender to form a uniform blend.
- step 2 To the blend of step 1, intragranular portion of sifted magnesium stearate was added and blended for about 5 minutes.
- step 3 The blend of step 2 was compacted in a roller compactor and was sifted through sieve BSS # 18 to form granules.
- step 5 Extragranular portion of magnesium stearate was sieved through sieve BSS # 44 and blended with the blend of step 4 in a double cone blender for about 5 minutes. 6. The blend of step 5 was compressed using suitable size punches to obtain compressed tablets. 7. The tablets as obtained from step 6 were coated with Opadry® using conventional coating techniques and weight built of up to 2.5% w/w.
- the tablets prepared as per the Example 3 & 4 were subjected to stability studies at 40°C/RH 75% over a period of 3 months, as represented in Table 4.
- Active compound I Piperaquine phosphate and intragranular portion of microcrystalline cellulose and crospovidone were sieved through sieve BSS # 44 and mixed together.
- step 2 To the blend of step 1, intragranular portion of sifted magnesium stearate was added and blended for about 5 minutes.
- step 3 The blend of step 2 was compacted and compacts were sifted through sieve BSS # 18 to form granules.
- step 5 The blend of step 5 was compressed using suitable size punches to obtain compressed tablets.
- Table 5 Percentage (% w/w) of In vitro drug release of Active compound I, from example 5, in USP II apparatus* (media: 2% tween 80 in water, 900ml, 75 rpm)
- a Phase II, double blind, parallel group, randomized, dose finding study was performed to determine the safety and efficacy of three dose levels (50 mg, 100 mg and 200 mg) of Active compound I administered for three days in patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria.
- Preliminary data showed that the mean parasite clearance time for the patient on 50 mg was 52 hours, and all the 3 patients who were followed up for 28 days showed reappearance of parasites.
- Patients receiving 100 mg had a parasite clearance time of 46.6 hours and 5 of total 6 patients showed reappearance of parasites.
- Patients receiving 200 mg had a parasite clearance time of 30.4 hours and 4 out of 5 patients showed adequate clinical and parasitological response (ACPR) at day 28. Only 1 patient showed reappearance of parasites.
- ACPR clinical and parasitological response
- Piperaquine phosphate was chosen as a partner drug and a Phase I double blind, randomized, parallel group, placebo controlled study was conducted in young healthy male subjects to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of Active compound I and piperaquine phosphate after co-administration of multiple oral doses.
- the study comprised of three cohorts.
- Cohort I received an oral daily dose of 100 mg of Active compound I and 750 mg of piperaquine phosphate
- Cohort II received an oral daily dose of 200 mg of Active compound I and 750 mg of piperaquine phosphate
- Cohort III received an oral daily dose of 200 mg of Active compound I and 1000 mg of piperaquine phosphate. All three doses were administered once daily for three days in each cohort. No drug related adverse event was observed up to dose levels of 200 mg Active compound I and 750 mg of piperaquine phosphate.
- somnolence and vomiting were reported in dose level of 200 mg Active compound I and 1000 mg of piperaquine phosphate
- R 0 Degree of accumulation calculated as (AUCo-24(Day 3)/AUCo-24 (Day 1))
- a single-dose, two-treatment, parallel design study comparing the bioavailability of fixed dose combination tablets of Active compound I 150 mg + piperaquine phosphate 750 mg with co-administered Active compound I 150 mg and piperaquine phosphate 750 mg was conducted as an open label, balanced, randomized, single-dose, two-treatment, parallel design in 36 healthy, adult, human, male subjects under fasting conditions.
- the pharmacokinetic parameters are presented in Tables 7 and 8. The results of this study suggested that the pharmacokinetics of Active compound I remained unaltered when administered in fixed-dose combination with piperaquine phosphate as compared to their co-administration as individual tablets.
- Table 7 Geometric mean pharmacokinetic parameters of Active compound I (free base) following administration of fixed-dose combination (FDC) and co-pack formulations of Active compound I and piperaquine phosphate to young healthy male subjects.
- Table 8 Geometric mean pharmacokinetic parameters of piperaquine following administration of fixed-dose combination (FDC) and co-pack formulations of Active compound I and piperaquine phosphate to young healthy male subjects.
