  • Azapirones are effective for treating a variety of psychogenic symptomatologies by their interaction with monoaminergic pathways in discrete areas of the brain.
  • the synthesis of azapirones and the disclosure of their use in treating psychogenic symptomatologies arc described in: 1 . Y.H. Wu et al., J. Med. Chem., 15:447 ( 1972).
  • buspirone has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of psychogenic symptomatologies, it is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, it shows a very high first pass metabolism which results in the production of metabolites such as l -(2-pyrimidinyl)- piperazine ( 1 -PP) which inhibits the pharmacologic effects of buspirone and which may be responsible for the clinical side-effects encountered with oral buspirone.
  • buspirone With oral buspirone, less than 4% of a therapeutic dose reaches the systemic circulation unchanged and maximal plasma concentration can vary up to 10 fold. In addition, the biological half-life of buspirone is short, from 3 to 1 1 hours, whereas buspirone metabolites such as 1-PP are eliminated much more slowly. These pharmacokinetic properties of buspirone necessitate a frequent dosing regimen which impacts negatively on patient compliance.
  • a transdermal device can provide controlled delivery of an azapirone, such as buspirone, into the systemic circulation wherein therapeutically effective levels of the pharmacologically active azapirone are maintained over a prolonged period of time.

  • a transdermal device must maintain its integrity during long-term storage prior to use.
  • An initial objective of the present invention is to provide a device for the transdermal delivery of therapeutically effective amounts of an azapirone into the systemic circulation over a prolonged period of time. It was a previously unrecognized problem that azapirones dissolved in prior art solvents are not stable and recrystallize within the transdermal device. As the azapirone recrystallizes, its flux from the transdermal device into the systemic circulation decreases. Therefore, therapeutically effective amounts of the azapirone cannot be maintained in the systemic circulation over time. Moreover, this instability of the azapirone within the transdermal device means that the transdermal device cannot be stored prior to use. If the transdermal device cannot be stored prior to use, its use as an azapirone delivery device is not practical.
  • an azapirone can be stabilized in a transdermal device so that therapeutically effective amounts of the azapirone are delivered into the systemic circulation over a prolonged period of time. Further, it was completely unexpected that when an azapirone is stabilized in a transdermal device, the transdermal device maintains its integrity during long-term storage prior to use.

  • These data show veiy low 1 -PP plasma concentrations with transdermal administration of buspirone, whereas these data show peaks and valleys of 1 -PP plasma concentration with oral buspirone. This is because, when oral busprione undergoes first pass metabolism in the liver, it is convenrted to metabolites such as 1 -PP.
  • the low 1-PP plasma concentration observed with transdermal delivery of buspirone is especially significant as 1-PP antagonizes buspirone's useful pharmacological actions and may be responsible for the unwanted side effects reported for oral buspirone.
