SEMI-SOLID FORMULATIONS FOR THE ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF
TAXQIDS
The present invention relates to oral formulations of taxoids.
The taxoids used in the formulations according to the invention are preferably of the general formula (I)

wherein
R1 is H, acyl (C2-C4), alkyl (C1-C3),
R2 is OH, alkoxy or R2 and R3 are methylene,
R3 is CH3 or R2 and R3 are methylene,
R4 is OCOCH3 or OCOOCH3,
R is phenyl or alkoxy (C3-C4) or alkenyloxy (C3-C4), preferably phenyl or tert-butoxy,
R' is aryl, preferably phenyl, optionally substituted or alkyl (C2-C4) or alkylen (C2-C4).
The taxoids used in the formulations according to the invention are for example the taxoids of formula (la) to (If) below




Toxoids of general formula (la) to (If) and their applications are known. These taxoids are particularly advantageous for their use as chemotherapeutic agents.
Unfortunately, taxoids are poorly water-soluble compounds. The molecules are slightly lipophilic with a relatively high molecular weight. Up until now taxoids are administered intravenously, in particular using formulations consisting of PS80 or cremophor at high content. It was the aim of the current invention to develop taxoid formulations for oral administration.
Oral administration of PS80 or cremophor formulations of taxoids led to an extremely low bioavailability in animals probably because of a high metabolism rate, like e.g. dogs. In addition, formulations consisting of a high content of PS80 (e.g. less than 40 mg taxoid/g PS80) are not desirable for oral administration because of the potential toxicity of PS80 in contact with the intestinal mucosa. Furthermore, a dose escalation study would not be possible with the expected doses because of the solubility limit and as a consequence the limited PS80 solubilisation capacity for taxoids in gastro-intestinal fluids. Finally, the pharmaceutical development of a drug

dosage form would be a main issue: indeed, the extemporary dilution of the PS80 solution with an aqueous medium is not envisageable for the oral administration of a cytotoxic agent.
Numerous documents descR1be systems suitable for solubilising and/or enhancing the bioavailability of hydrophobic active ingredients. However, the systems tested have so far proved ineffective for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions containing taxoids which are stable and bioavailable and in which the taxoid can be administered orally at an effective concentration.
WO 95/24893 descR1bes delivery systems for hydrophobic drugs. This application descR1bes compositions compR1sing a digestible oil, a lipophilic surfactant and a hydrophilic surfactant that are intended for the formulation of hydrophobic active ingredients and for the enhancement of their bioavailability.
WO 99/49848 descR1bes pharmaceutical dosage forms for anticancer drugs, e.g. paclitaxel in which the active drug is formulated as stable self-emulsifying preconcentrate. WO 99/49848 descR1bes compositions compR1sing an anticancer drug in a carR1er system compR1sing at least one hydrophobic component selected from tR1-, di- or monoglyceR1des, free fatty acids, fatty acid esters or deR1vatives thereof, and a hydrophilic component selected from hydroxyalkane, dihydroxyalkane or polyethylene glycol (PEG), and compR1sing at least one surfactant.
EP 0 152 945 Bl descR1bes transparent multi-component systems for pharmaceutical application containing one or several active ingredients in a system composed of an oil component, surfactants, co-surfactant and optionally water.
EP 0 670 715 Bl descR1bes compositions for pharmaceutical use intended to be ingested, able to form a microemulsion, compR1sing at least an active ingredient, a lipophilic phase, a surfactant, a co-surfactant and a hydrophilic phase of special composition.
EP 0 334 777 Bl descR1bes a micro-emulsion with pharmaceutical use compR1sing a water-soluble phase and a lipidic phase, compR1sing at least one surface-active agent based on Polyethylenglycol and at least one co-surfactant based on polyglycerol.
It has now been found, and that is what constitutes the subject of the present invention, that it is possible to prepare chemically and physically stable formulations

of taxoid for oral administration. The present invention relates to a semi-solid formulation for the oral administration of taxoids compR1sing at least one taxoid and at least one polymeR1c mateR1al that is chosen among Vitamin E TPGS® and Gelncire
44/14®.

wherein:
R1 is H, acyl (C2-C4), alkyl (C1-C3);
R2 is OH5 alkoxy or R2 and R3 are methylene;
R3 is CH3 or R2 and R3 are methylene;
R4is OCOCH3 or OCOOCH3;
R is phenyl or alkoxy (C3-C4) or alkenyloxy (C3-C4), preferably phenyl or tert-
bixtoxy; and
R' is aryl, preferably phenyl, optionally substituted or alkyl (C2-C4) or alkylen (C2-
C4).
A more preferred taxoid is chosen among compounds of formula (la) to (If):





The semi-solid formulation of the invention is particularly suitable for toxoids of formula (lb) and (Ic).
A convenient semi-solid formulation according to the invention may contain up to 200 mg taxoid per g of polymeR1c mateR1al, more preferably between 50 and 200 mg taxoid per g of polymeR1c mateR1al. Suitable taxoid content may be adapted to the need of a patient, for example taxoid concentration within the polymeR1c mateR1al of e.g. 5 mg/g, 10 mg/g, 20 mg/g, 30 mg/g, 40 mg/g, 50 mg/g, 60 mg/g, 70 mg/g, 80 mg/g, 90 mg/g, 100 mg/g, 150 mg/g or 200 mg/g.
The semi-solid formulations of the invention may optionally further contain at least one additional additive chosen from stabilizing agents, preservatives, agents which make it possible to adjust the viscosity, or agents that can modify the organoleptic properties.
In another aspect the invention concerns a process for prepaR1ng a formulation as defined above, wherein there is prepared, where appropR1ate, the mixture of pR1ncipal excipients, after heating, for melting the semisolid excipients, and then, if necessary, the mixture with the additional additives, and then the taxoid and stirR1ng is maintained in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.
The strategy has been to obtain a formulation able to enhance taxoid solubilisation in aqueous medium by using amphiphilic- and lipid-based formulations able to form a colloidal system (fine emulsion or micellar solution) in vivo.
Among amphiphilic and lipid-based formulations, 3 categoR1es were identified: Amphiphilic polymers (micelle or emulsion formation)
Phospholipids (lipidic vesicles formation)

SMES (seif-microemulsifying systems): oil + surfactant + co-sxirfactant (microemulsion formation)
After a first selection of proper excipients (in terms of safety and developpability), the solubility of taxoids in the excipient was the first screening step for the choice of the excipient and the selection of the prototypes. Then, the prototypes (liquid or semisolid) were manufactured, and characteR1zed in terms of in vitro behaviour in simulated GI media and chemical stability. Finally, the physical prop,ties and ' stability of the semi-solid prototypes have been investigated.
Different categoR1es of excipients descR1bed in the literature as components of amphiphilic and lipid-based formulations have been tested for the solubility of taxoids:
1. Oils (medium-chain tR1glyceR1des, fatty acids, ...)
2. Amphiphilic surfactants with hydrophilic character (HLB>10) (PEO sorbitan fatty acids, castor oil ethoxylates, fatty acid ethoxylates.)
3. Amphiphilic surfactants with lipophilic character (HLB
4. Phospholipids (lecithins)
5. Hydrophilic solvents (PEG 400,..)
All the selected excipients are descR1bed as safe for oral administration, and they are developable (alone or as mixture) as pharmaceutical dosage form (soft or hard capsule).
The chemical composition of the selected excipients in liquid form at room temperature, as well as the solubility of taxoid of formula lb, are reported in table 1
below.




The following table 2 reports the chemical composition of the selected excipients in semi-solid form at room temperature, as well as the solubility of a taxoid of formula lb. Excipients had been previously melted up to 70°C for drug dissolution.

The solubility of taxoid of formula lb at room temperature has been determined by X ray diffraction.
Taking into account the solubility of a taxoid of formula lb, for the 3 categoR1es of drug delivery systems the following excipients were retained:
Vitamin E TPGS for micelle formation

Phosal 75SA and Phospholipon 90H for lipidic vesicle fomiation
Labrasol and Gelucire 44/14 for emulsion formation
Microemulsion fonnation: as surfactant .Myrj 45, PSSO, Cremophor EL, Labrasol; as co-surfactant: Maisine, Capryol 90, Peceol, Lauroglycol 90, Imwitor 988; as oil: Miglyol 812N, Edenor.
For the first 3 categoR1es, the excipients were formulated as binary systems with the drug, at the following concentrations:
• Vitamin E TPGS (semi-solid matR1x): 50, 100 mg/g formulation
• Phosal 75SA (solution): 100 mg/g formulation .
• Phospholipon 90H (solid powder); 50, 100 mg/g formulation
• Gelucire 44/14 (semi-solid matR1x): 50, 100 mg/g formulation
9 Labrasol (solution): 50,100,200 mg/g formulation
For the SMES category (3-components system), a first screening of the excipients as oil, surfactant (HLB>10) and co-surfactant (HLB • Cremophor EL/Maisine/Miglyol 812N at 50 mg/g
• Cremophor EL/Lauroglycol 90/Miglyol 812N at 50 mg/g
• Cremophor EL/Capryol 90/Miglyol 812N at 50 mg/g
• Cremophor EL/Peceol/Miglyol 812N at 50 mg/g
• Cremophor EL/Imwitor 988/Miglyol 812N at 50 mg/g
The ratio between the excipients in the retained formulations was as follow: ratio surfactant to co-snrfactant 3:1 and with oil concentration of 20%.
It is understood that the dosage may vary according to the degree or the nature of the condition to be treated. Thus, the quantity of active product in a composition according to the invention will be determined such that a suitable dosage can be prescR1bed. As a result, the quantity of taxoids vaR1es as a function of its solubility in the mixture and also as a function of the appropR1ate dosage for the treatment of

patients. Preferably, care should be taken not to load more than 10% w/w of taxoid drug so as to avoid microemnlsion destabilization to occur.
In humans, it is understood that, to choose the most appropriate daily dosage, there
should be taken into account the weight of the patient, his general state of health, his
age and all factors which may influence the efficacy of the treatment. Preferably, the
compositions are prepared such that a unit dose contains from 0.1 to 50 mg of active
- product. - -
In the altemative, where a second active ingredient is introduced, the compositions may comprise 0.2 to 50 mg. However, this quantity may optionally be lower and may vary from 0.2 to 10 mg.
When the composition further comprises certain additional additives, the latter may be stabilizing agents, preservatives, agents which make it possible to adjust the viscosity, or agents that can modify, for example, the organoleptic properties.
The stabilizing agents may be, for example, antioxidants chosen in particular from a-tocopherol, ascorbyl pabmtate, BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene), BHA (butyl hydroxyanisole), propyl gallate or malic acid for example.
The preservatives may, by way of example, be chosen from sodium metabisulfite, propylene glycol, ethanol or glycerin.
Among the agents capable of adjusting the viscosity, there may be mentioned, for example, lecithins, phospholipids, propylene glycol alginate, sodium alginate or glycerin.
The agents capable of modifying the organoleptic properties of the composition are, by way of example, malic acid, fumaric acid, glycerin, vanillin or menthol.
When such additives are used, the latter may constitute from 0.001% to 5% by weight of the total composition.
According to the invention, the pharmaceutical composition may be obtained by mixing, where appropriate, the principal excipients (after heating for melting the semisolid excipients), and then, if necessary, mixing with the additional additives, followed by the addition of the taxoid and maintaining stirred in order to obtain a homogeneous mixture.

The compositions according to the invention may be provided in the semipasty state.
They are particularly suitable for presentation in the form of hard gelatin capsules or soft gelatin capsules, or in the fomi of an oral solution.
The compositions according to the invention are particularly advantageous because of their good stability, both physically and chemically, and the enhancement of the bioavailablity which they offer upon oral administration of taxoids.
The following examples, given without limitation, illustrate formulations according to the present invention.

1.2 Preparation ofthe semi-solid matR1ces
The weighed drug was dispersed in the melted excipient, and then maintained under mechanical stirR1ng at 50-60°C until dissolution. The mass was poured into a hard gelatine capsule (size 0) and kept refR1gerated overnight. The gelatine shell was then removed to avoid compatibility issues at this step.
1.3 Chemical stability
The chemical stability of the different formulations is a key parameter. Prototypes were stored in bulk (glass vial) for up to 3 months at -f5°C (± 3°C), 25°C (± 2°C) and 30°C (± 2°C) under 60% (± 5%) relative humidity (RH) and 40°C (± 2°C) under 75% (± 5%) RH.
The stabiUty was evaluated by mean of the potency determined by HPLC, as well as evaluation of relative substances. The prototypes analysed for drug dosage and stability studies are showed in the table below.

All the formulations are stable 3 months at 40,C under 75% RH, except the SMES fomiulations. Indeed, the SMES are stable 1 month at 25,C, whereas at 40°C the impuR1ty taxoid of formula lb (hydrolysis) appears (1.15-3.88% at ti month, depending on the nature of the co-surfactant). The 3 months analysis of the sample allowed to evaluate if this impuR1ty increase was cR1tical: after 3 months, an increase of taxoid of formula lb impuR1ty content was noticed. The SMES is stable at 5°C duR1ng 7 raonths.
Example 2 : in vitro behaviour in simulated gi media (gi = gastro intestinal) Release profiles after incubation in simulated gi media
2.1 Composition ofthe simulated fluids The following simulated media were selected for the present expeR1ment:
• GastR1c medium USP, pH 1.2
• Fasted intestinal medium, pH 6,8 (ref Dressman et al., Pharm. Res., 1998)
• Fed intestinal medium, pH 5 (ref Dressman et al., Pharm. Res., 1998)


2.2 ExpeR1mental conditions
In a first step of expeR1ments, the formulations (100 mg drug/g formulation, 500 mg
formulation in a hard gelatin capsule) were diluted 1:500 in the gastR1c medium
(1 capsule/250 mL), than incubated 2 hours at 37°C under stirR1ng (50 rpm) in a USP
standard dissolution apparatus.
The same expeR1ment has been carR1ed out in gastR1c medium with 2 capsules loaded
with less concentrated formulations (50 mg drug/g formulation), in order to study the
effect of the drug/excipient and excipient/medium ratio on the release profile.
In a second step of expeR1ments, a first incubation of 1 hour in gastR1c medium was
followed by 2 hours incubation in fasted intestinal or fed intestinal medium, in order
to simulate the gastR1c emptying process.

Samples were taken after 5-15-30-60 min and 2h. The drug concentration was determined by HPLC after centR1fugation (6000 rpm, 10 min). Homogeneity of the medium was evaluated by sampling bottom, medium and top of the vessel.
2.3 Results
Dmg release profiles in gastR1c medium of formulations at 100 mg/g are shown in the figure 1.
Compared to the PS 80 formulation (evaluated as reference), only the formulation composed of Vitamin E TPGS allowed improvement of the in vitro solubilisation of taxoid of formula lb (80% of drug solubilised) by 2 hours.
Concerning the profiles obtained with the other formulations data fi:om Phosal and Gelucire are not very representative, since these formulations led to the formation of a very heterogeneous mixture after incubation. For Gelucire 44/14, the disintegration of the semi-slid matR1x occurred only partially, not allowing the dispersion in the simulated gastR1c medium. The Labrasol formulation led to the formation of a very homogeneous emulsion with the medium, despite the low amount of drag recovered after centR1fugation (see release profile), suggesting that for a coarse emulsion the centR1fiigation (determining the collapse of the emulsion) could sub-estimate its in vitro performance. The expeR1ment with Phospholipon 90H was stopped (no data collection) since the powder floating did not allow the formation of a homogeneous suspension.
The compaR1son of the drug relase profiles of semi-solid formulations (Gelucire, Vitamin E TPGS and PEG 4000) at 50 et 100 mg/g (figure 2; the profiles related to Vitamin E TPGS and Gelucire at 100 mg/g are the same aheady reported in figure 1) shows that Vitamin E TPGS exhibited the highest solubilisation properties, with a release of 80% for the 100 mg/g dosage and up to 100% for the 50 mg/g dosage. The Gelucire formulation at 50 mg/g allowed the solubilisation of about 80% of drag, contraR1ly to the 100 mg/g dosage, as descR1bed previously. Finally, the hydrophilic PEG 4000 confirmed, as expected, the inability to solubilise a hydrophobic drag in an aqueous medium.
Example 3 : particle size analysis after incubation in gastR1c medium (USP)
The aim of this part of the study was to evaluate, by particle size measurement, the colloidal stability and the self-emulsifymg properties of the

emulsion/microemulsion/micellar solution of taxoid of formula lb formulations after incubation in the gastric medium.
3.1 Experimental conditions
The formulations (concentration 100 mg drug/g formulation, 100 mg formulation) were diluted 1:500 in the gastric medium (50 mL), then incubated 2 hours at 3TC under mechanical stirring (300 rpm).
The sample was diluted immediately with water for size measurement or filtered onto 2 if necessary. The filtration allowed to retain oil droplets>2, as well as drug crystals >2 , in order to allow the particle size measurement by QELS (quasi-elastic hght scattering) (Nanosizer N4-I-, Beckmann-Coulter).
3.2 Results
As shown in the figures 3 and 4, a particle size The results suggest using the formulations able to form small and monodisperse droplets in gastric medium in order to have a better performance in vivo. Further experiments in simulated intestinal media should be performed in order to evaluate the effect of biliary salts on the size and colloidal stability of the formulations.
3.3 Preliminary conclusions on the evaluation of taxoid of formula lb
formulations
All the results concerning the in vitro behaviour in simulated GI fluids of the formulations for oral administration of taxoid of formula lb, as well as the chemical stability in accelerated conditions, are summiarized in the tables below.



Gelucire leads to a heterogeneous emulsion with the GI media, so it was discarded at this concentration. Thus, at 100 mg/g, only Vitamin E TPGS formulation exhibited a promising behaviour (in terms of release profile and droplet size).
Example 4 : Physical characterization and stability of semi-solid matrices
4.1 Experimental methods X-RAY POWDER DIFFRACTION (XRPD)
The analyses are carried out on a Siemens-Bruker D5000 Matic diffractometer, using the parafocusing Bragg-Brentano {6-20)- type geometry. If enough of the product is available, the powder is deposited on a concave aluminum sample holder. Otherwise a thin layer of the product is deposited on a single-crystalline silicon wafer, cut out according to the (510) crystallographic orientation that impedes any Bragg reflection (by ensuring the systematic extinction of the corresponding diffraction band). A cobalt anticathode tube (40kV/30mA) gives an iron-filtered incident beam. Two radiations are emitted: CoKax (X = 1.7890 A) and CoKa2 (X = 1.7929 A. A 50 M multicanal Braun linear detector completes the setup. It has a 10°-wide detection window in angle 26. Diagrams were recorded in the following conditions: a 1.5 to 50.0 degree scan in angle 29, 10 to 30 seconds' counting time per degree in 29 according to the amount of powder to be analysed, and ambient conditions of pressure, temperature and % relative humidity.

4.1.2 Physical characterization
Taxoid of formula lb semi-solid formulations for this part of the study were manufactured and characterized by T.Borovac (DEA report «Conception et caracterisation des matrices semi-solides associees a un principe actif pen hydrosoluble et destine a la voie orale», CRS meeting, July 19,2003. In the semi-solid formulations, drug substance physical state (solubilized or dispersed) and physical form (if dispersed) were characterized using XRPD. This technique detection limit was evaluated using a range of physical mixtures (of Vitamin E-TPGS or Gelucire and drug substance): this limit is 2.5% or 25 mg/g with both excipients.
4.2 Physical stability
Storage conditions (temperature, pressure, time) can change or induce recrystallization of drug substance in a solubilized semi-solid formulation or polymorphism in a dispersed one.
Two semi-solid formulations (a 60 mg/g VitaminE-TPGS one and a 80 mg/g Gelucire one) were evaluated after one month at 30°C/60%RH or at 40°C/75%RH. Both formulations were mostly solubilised after manufacturing and no recrystallisation was observed after one month. We can anticipate that both 50 mg/g formulations are physically stable for at least one month.
