Summary for Patent: 4,727,064
Title: | Pharmaceutical preparations containing cyclodextrin derivatives |
Abstract: | The invention comprises pharmaceutical preparations consisting generally of a drug with a substantially low water solubility and an amorphous, water-soluble cyclodextrin-based mixtures. In these preparations a stable amorphous state can be achieved. This improves the dissolution properties of the drug and hence its absorption by the body. The required cyclodextrin-based mixtures were prepared from .alpha.-, .beta.-, or .gamma.-cyclodextrin which were rendered amorphous through non-selective alkylation. The alkylation agents suitable for that purposes are exemplified by propylene oxide, glycidol, iodoacetamide, chloroacetate, or 2-diethylaminoethylchloride; their reactions with cyclodextrins were performed in a manner to yield mixtures containing many components, a circumstance which effectively prevents crystallization processes within the above pharmaceutical preparation. |

Patent Claims: |
1. A method of producing a stablizing amorphous complex of a drug and a mixture of cyclodextrins which comprises the steps of:
1. Dissolving an intrinsically amorphous mixture of cyclodextrin deratives which are water soluble and capable of forming inclusion complexes with drugs in water; and 2. Solublizing lipophilic drugs into the aqueous media to form a solution and form a solublized drug/cyclodextrin complex. 2. A method of claim 1 wherein the solubilized complex is subjected to freeze-dried or evaporation to provide a solid cyclodextrin/drug complex in powder form. 3. A method of claim 1 wherein cyclodextrins used are substituted by at least one of the following substituents: hydroalkyl, carboxamide, diethylaminoethyl, carboxymethyl, and carboxyamidomethyl. 4. A method of claim 1 wherein the drug is a hormone. 5. A method of claim 4 wherein the drug is testosterone, an estrogen, or a progesterone. 6. A composition of matter which contains an amorphous complex of cylodextrin and a drug. 7. A omposition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a hormone. 8. A composition of claim 6 wherein the drug is at least one of testosterone, progesterone, and an estrogenic drug. 9. A composition of matter of claim 6 in solid form. 10. A composition of matter of claim 9 which is a tablet. 11. A composition of matter of claim 6 which is in a liquid or semi-liquid form. 12. A composition of matter for use in the process of claim 1 containing a mixture of substituted cyclodextrin derivatives in amorphous form. 13. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a vitamin. 14. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a salt of retinoic acid. 15. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a steroid. 16. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a spironolactone. 17. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is an antiviral agent. 18. A composition of matter of claim 17 wherein the antiviral agent is acylovir. 19. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is a diuretic. 20. A composition of matter of claim 19 wherein the diuretic is chlorthalidone. 21. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is an anticoagulant. 22. A composition of matter of claim 21 wherein the anticoagulant is dicumerol. 23. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is an anticonvulsant 24. A composition of matter of claim 23 wherein the drug is diphenylhydantoin. 25. A composition of matter of claim 6 wherein the drug is an antiinflammatory agent. 26. A composition of matter of claim 25 wherein the antiinflammatory agent is iproniazid. 27. A composition of matter of claim 16 wherein the drug is oxyprenolol. 28. A composition of matter in solid or semi-solid form comprising at least one of testosterone, progesterone, and estradiol as an inclusion complex with poly-.beta.-cylodextin and/or hydroxypropyl-.beta.-cyclodextrin adapted for administration by buccal route. |
