Accidental and intentional overdose with prescription and over the counter drugs is a serious health problem with thousands of fatalities occurring each year as a result. The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprised of a chemical moiety attached to an active agent in a manner that substantially decreases the potential of the active agent to cause overdose or to be abused. When delivered at the proper dosage the pharmaceutical composition provides therapeutic activity similar to that of the parent active agent. However, when the composition is delivered at higher doses the potential for overdose or abuse is reduced due to the limited bioavailability of the active agent as compared to the active agent delivered as free drug.

The present invention relates to changing the pharmacokinetic and pharmacological properties of active agents through covalent modification. Covalent attachment of a chemical moiety to an active agent can change the rate and extent of absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination of the active agent. When administered at a normal therapeutic dose the bioavailability (area under the time-versus-concentration curve; AUC) of the active agent is similar to that of the parent active agent compound. As the oral dose is increased, however, the bioavailability of the covalently modified active agent relative to the parent active agent begins to decline. At suprapharmacological doses the bioavailability of the active agent conjugate is substantially decreased as compared to the parent active agent. The relative decrease in bioavailability at higher doses abates the euphoria obtained when doses of the active agent conjugate are taken above those of the intended prescription. This in turn diminishes the abuse potential, whether unintended or intentionally sought.
Persons that abuse prescription drugs commonly seek to increase their euphoria by snorting or injecting the drugs. These routes of administration increase the rate and extent of drug absorption and provide a faster, nearly instantaneous, effect. This increases the amount of drug that reaches the central nervous system where it has its effect. In a particular embodiment of the invention the bioavailability of the covalently modified active agent is substantially decreased by the intranasal and intravenous routes as compared to the parent active agent. Thus the illicit practice of snorting and shooting the drug loses its advantage.
In accordance with the present invention and as used herein, the following terms are defined with the following meanings, unless explicitly stated otherwise. For additional methods of attaching active agents to carriers, see application number U.S. Ser. No. 10/156,527, and/or PCT/US03/05524, and/or PCT/US03/05525 and/or PCT/US04/17204 each of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The invention utilizes covalent modification of an active agent to decrease its potential for causing overdose or being abused. The active agent is covalently modified in a manner that decreases its pharmacological activity, as compared to the unmodified active agent, at doses above those considered therapeutic, e.g., at doses inconsistent with the manufacturer\'s instructions. When given at lower doses, such as those intended for therapy, the covalently modified active agent retains pharmacological activity similar to that of the unmodified active agent. The covalent modification of the active agent may comprise the attachment of any chemical moiety through conventional chemistry.
Compounds, compositions and methods of the invention provide reduced potential for overdose, reduced potential for abuse or addiction and/or improve the active agent\'s characteristics with regard to high toxicities or suboptimal release profiles.
The following is a non-exclusive list of compounds that may be used in connection with the invention: alphacetylmethadol hydrochloride, anileridine, apomorphine, bemidone, betacetylmethadol hydrochloride, buprenorphine hydrochloride, butorphanol tartrate, codeine, dezocine, dihydrocodeine, dihydromorphine, dipanone hydrochloride, eptazocine hydrobromide, ethylmorphine, etorphine hydrochloride, hydromorphone, ketobemidone, levorphanol tartrate, loperamide, meptazinol hydrochloride, methyldihydromorphinone, nalbuphine hydrochloride, nalbuphine hydrochloride, normorphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, pentazocine, piminodine, tramadol, allobarbitone, alprazolan, amylobarbitone, barbitone sodium, butobarbitone, captodiame hydrochloride, chloral betaine, chloral hydrate, chloralose, chlorhexadol, chlormethiazole edisylate, cinolazepam, potassium clorazepate, cyclobarbitone calcium, delorzepam, difebarbamate, enciprazine hydrochloride, flunitrazepam, hexobarbitone sodium, ibomal, lorazepam, lormetazepam, meprobamate, methylpentynol, midazolam maleate, oxazepam, pentabarbitone calcium, phenprobamate, proxibarbal, quinalbaritone, quinalbarbitone sodium, secbutobarbitone sodium, temazepam, triclofos sodium, zalepan, and zolazepam hydrochloride.
Throughout this application the use of “oxycodone” is meant to include a narcotic alkaloid (chemical formula C18H21NO4) and its derivatives such as the hydrochloride salt of oxycodone. Oxycodone is related to codeine and is used as an analgesic and/or a sedative. Oxycodone is a powerful and potentially addictive opioid analgesic synthesized from thebaine. It is similar to codeine, but is more potent and has a higher dependence potential. It is effective orally and is often marketed in combination with aspirin (Percodan®) or acetaminophen (Percocet®) for the relief of pain. It is also sold in a sustained-release form under the trade name Oxycontin®. All of these deriviatives or combinations of oxycodone are encompassed by the present invention.
“Carbohydrates” includes sugars, starches, cellulose, and related compounds. e.g., (CH2O)n, wherein n is an integer larger than 2 or Cn(H2O)n-1, with n larger than 5. More specific examples include for instance, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose, glyceraldehyde, dihydroxyacetone, erythrose, ribose, ribulose, xylulose, galactose, mannose, sedoheptulose, neuraminic acid, dextrin, and glycogen.
A “glycoprotein” is a compound containing carbohydrate (or glycan) covalently linked to protein. The carbohydrate may be in the form of a monosaccharide, disaccharide(s). oligosaccharide(s), polysaccharide(s), or their derivatives (e.g. sulfo- or phospho-substituted).
A “glycopeptide” is a compound consisting of carbohydrate linked to an oligopeptide composed of L- and/or D-amino acids. A glyco-amino-acid is a saccharide attached to a single amino acid by any kind of covalent bond. A glycosyl-amino-acid is a compound consisting of saccharide linked through a glycosyl linkage (O—, N— or S—) to an amino acid.
A “controlled substance” is a substance subject to federal regulation of its manufacture, sale, or distribution because of the potential for, or proved evidence of, abuse; because of its potential for psychic or physiological dependence; because it constitutes a public health risk; because of the scientific evidence of its pharmacologic effect; or because of its role as a precursor of other controlled substances.
The following abbreviations may be in this application:
The attached chemical moiety may be any chemical substance that decreases the pharmacological activity until the active agent is released. Preferably the chemical moiety is a single amino acid, dipeptide or tripeptide, tetrapeptide, pentapeptide, or hexapeptide. The active agent binds to specific sites to produce various effects (Hoebel, et al., 1989). The attachment of certain chemical moieties can therefore diminish or prevent binding to these biological target sites. Preferably, absorption of the composition into the brain is prevented or substantially diminished and/or delayed when delivered by routes other than oral administration.
The attached chemical moiety may further comprise naturally occurring or synthetic substances. This would include but is not limited to the attachment of an active agent to one or more amino acids, peptides, lipids, carbohydrates, glycopeptides, nucleic acids or vitamins.

Interspersed is herein meant to include the amino acid active agent (drug) being at the C-terminus, N-terminus, or interspersed throughout the peptide. When amino acid active agents are attached to the C-terminus or the N-terminus this results in the active agent being the end amino and is considered C-capped or N-capped respectively. Furthermore, amino acids with reactive side chains (e.g., glutamic acid, lysine, aspartic acid, serine, threonine and cysteine) can be incorporated for attaching multiple active agents or adjuvants to the same carrier peptide. This is particularly useful if a synergistic effect between two or more active agents is desired. The present invention also envisions the use of multiple active agents or multiple attachment sites of active agents along a peptide chain. Further embodiments of the invention will become clear from the following disclosure.
In another embodiment of the invention, the composition includes one or more adjuvants to enhance the bioavailability of the active agent. Addition of an adjuvant is particularly preferred when using an otherwise poorly absorbed active agent. Suitable adjuvants, for example, include: papain, which is a potent enzyme for releasing the catalytic domain of aminopeptidase-N into the lumen; glycorecognizers, which activate enzymes in the brush border membrane (BBM); and bile acids, which have been attached to peptides to enhance absorption of the peptides.
Absorption of the active agent in the intestinal tract can be enhanced either by virtue of being covalently attached to a peptide or through the synergistic effect of an added adjuvant. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the absorption of the active agent is increased due to its covalent attachment to a peptide, hereafter to be referred to as a transporter peptide, which is a specialized example of a carrier peptide. In a further embodiment, the transporter peptide activates a specific peptide transporter. In yet another embodiment the peptide transporter is either the PepT1 or the PepT2 transporters. In a preferred embodiment the transporter peptide contains two amino acids. In another preferred embodiment the transporter dipeptide is selected from the list of AlaSer, CysSer, AspSer, GluSer, PheSer, GlySer, HisSer, IleSer, LysSer, LeuSer, MetSer, AsnSer, ProSer, GlnSer, ArgSer, SerSer, ThrSer, ValSer, TrpSer, TyrSer.
In another embodiment, the present invention does not require the attachment of the active agent to an adjuvant that recognizes or is taken up by an active transporter. The invention also allows targeted delivery of active agents to specifics sites of action.
In another preferred embodiment the chain length of amino acid can be varied to suit different delivery criteria. In one embodiment, the present invention allows for the delivery of active agents with sustained release.
In another preferred embodiment the active agent is directly attached to the amino acid without the use of a linker.
Embodiments of the invention provide compositions which allow the active agent to be therapeutically effective when delivered at the proper dosage but reduces the rate of absorption or extent of bioavailability of the active agent when given at doses exceeding those within the therapeutic range of the active agent. Embodiments of the invention also provide compositions wherein the covalently bound chemical moiety increases the rate of clearance of active agent when given at doses exceeding those within the therapeutic range of the active agent.
In another embodiment the compositions have substantially lower toxicity compared to unbound active agent. In another embodiment the compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by oral administration. In another embodiment the compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by intranasal administration. In another embodiment the compositions reduce or eliminate the possibility of overdose by injection.
In another embodiment, the conjugates of the invention may further comprise a polymer blend which comprises at least one hydrophilic polymer and at least one water-insoluble polymer. The polymer may be used according to industry standard to further enhance the sustained release properties of the active agent conjugate without reducing the abuse resistance. Hydrophilic polymers suitable for use in the sustained release formulation include: one or more natural or partially or totally synthetic hydrophilic gums such as acacia, gum tragacanth, locust bean gum, guar gum, or karaya gum, modified cellulosic substances such as methylcellulose, hydroxomethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose; proteinaceous substances such as agar, pectin, carrageen, and alginates; and other hydrophilic polymers such as carboxypolymethylene, gelatin, casein, zein, bentonite, magnesium aluminum silicate, polysaccharides, modified starch derivatives, and other hydrophilic polymers known to those of skill in the art or a combination of such polymers.
An active agent conjugate, which is further formulated with excipients may be manufactured according to any appropriate method known to those of skill in the art of pharmaceutical manufacture. For instance, the active agent conjugate and a hydrophilic polymer may be mixed in a mixer with an aliquot of water to form a wet granulation. The granulation may be dried to obtain hydrophilic polymer encapsulated granules of active agent-conjugate. The resulting granulation may be milled, screened, then blended with various pharmaceutical additives, water insoluble polymer, and additional hydrophilic polymer. The formulation may then tableted and may further be film coated with a protective coating which rapidly dissolves or disperses in gastric juices.
However, it should be noted that the active agent conjugate controls the release of active agent into the digestive tract over an extended period of time resulting in an improved profile when compared to immediate release combinations and reduces and/or prevents abuse without the addition of the above additives. In a preferred embodiment no further sustained release additives are required to achieve a blunted or reduced pharmacokinetic curve (e.g. reduced euphoric effect) while achieving therapeutically effective amounts of active agent release.
The compounds of the invention can be administered by a variety of dosage forms. Any biologically-acceptable dosage form known to persons of ordinary skill in the art, and combinations thereof, are contemplated. Examples of such dosage forms include, without limitation, chewable tablets, quick dissolve tablets, effervescent tablets, reconstitutable powders, elixirs, liquids, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, tablets, multi-layer tablets, bi-layer tablets, capsules, soft gelatin capsules, hard gelatin capsules, caplets, lozenges, chewable lozenges, beads, powders, granules, particles, microparticles, dispersible granules, cachets, douches, suppositories, creams, topicals, inhalants, aerosol inhalants, patches, particle inhalants, ingestibles, infusions, health bars, confections, animal feeds, cereals, yogurts, cereal coatings, foods, nutritive foods, functional foods and combinations thereof.
However, the most effective means for delivering the abuse-resistant compounds of the invention is orally, to permit maximum release of the active agent to provide therapeutic effectiveness and/or sustained release while maintaining abuse resistance. When delivered by the oral route the active agent is released into circulation, preferably over an extended period of time as compared to active agent alone.
