Definitions
- the invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing natural progesterone having a high biological availability.
- the feminine ovulatory cycle is ruled by the concerted secretion of estrogens and progesterone, which in its turn is modulated by the output of the hypophyseal hormones FSH and LH.
- the progesterone secretion is particularly high during the luteal phase of the ovulatory cycle.
- the therapy of the postmenopausal disorders is therefore relying on the pharmacological reintegration of both the hormonal components, as to reach the physiological haematic levels typical of the childbearing period.
- the complicating diseases coming from the reduced secretion of the sexual hormones during the menopause the loss of osteal matrix (osteoporosis) assumes a prominent role.
- a combined treatment based on estrogens and progesterone
- the combination of the two hormones shows also other implications.
- the administration of the sole estrogens exerts a beneficial action on the lipidic haematic profile, in terms of cardiovascular diseases, along with an increase of the HDL fraction of cholesterol, but a prolonged treatment makes register an increased risk of mammary and endometrial tumor .
- This last consequence of the estrogens can be antagonized by a contemporaneous administration of progesterone [J. Jensen; Am. J. Obstet. Gynecol. (1987) ; 156:66] .
- progestational agents are normally utilized in the combined therapy based on estrogens .
- progestogens are synthesized steroids deriving from progesterone.
- compositions consist of natural progesterone supported on a material selected from the group consisting of ⁇ - cyclodextrin and cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone along with excipient substances normally used in the pharmaceutical technique, said progesterone being admixed with said carrier material by means of a high energy co-grinding under an atmosphere substantially consisting of the vapour of a solvent apt to solubilize the drug or to be adsorbed onto the surface of the carrier material.
- the incorporation of progesterone into the cross- linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone can be carried out by swelling the polymer with a solution of the drug, by a subsequent removal of the solvent at a controlled rate and by an end activation by solvent spraying.
- compositions allow to obtain the desired haematic concentrations of progesterone by administering a drug dose definitely lower with respect to the prior art and can be advantageously applied in the hormonal replacement therapy of menopause, in the prevention and in the treatment of the osteoporosis and in all other forms of progesterone deficiency.
- compositions consist of natural progesterone and of a carrier material selected from the group consisting of ⁇ -cyclodextrin and
- the progesterone amount is between 2 and 50 b.w. and preferably between 5 and 20. b.w.; the amount of ⁇ - cyclodextrin or of polyvinyl-pyrrolidone is between 10 and 80% b.w.
- lactose crystalline and spray dried
- microcrystalline cellulose cellulose ethers
- dibasic calcium phosphate mannitol
- starch modified starch
- linear povidone polyvinyl-pyrrolidone
- sodium carboxymethylcellulose sodium carboxymethylcellulose
- cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone 15 cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone; sodium carboxymethylstarch; croscaramellose; stearic acid; alkaline earth stearates; polyethyleneglycols having various molecular weight.
- the incorporation of progesterone into ⁇ -cyclodextrin and into cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone is performed by the high energy on co-grinding technique, in the presence of the vapour of a solvent, such technique being based on the use of high-energy mills; in the grinding chamber of said mills there is introduced, beyond the drug/carrier mixture, a stream of a solvent apt to solubilize the drug or to be adsorbed onto the ' surface of the carrier material, 5 like for instance water, methylene chloride and methanol.
- the incorporation of progesterone into cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone is performed by the technique comprising the swelling of the polymer by means of a drug-containing solution, suitable for the swelling of the polymer, subsequent removal of the solvent by con rolled-rate evaporation, and final activation by solvent spraying; it may be advantageous to add to such solvent a linear polymer, like linear polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, in order to grant the product better technological features, like miscibility and a high flow. Said solvent removal is carried out at a rate between 0.2 - and 10 ml/min per liter of solvent to be removed.
- compositions according to the invention can be prepared in the form of a powder or as a granular product, which can be subsequently employed as such (e.g. as a granular product, suitable for suspensions and so on) or converted into tablets or capsules.
- Said compositions were tested not only in dissolution tests, but also in bioavailability tests and in pharmacokinetic tests on the woman; such tests showed that an administration of 50 mg of progesterone allows to reach a haematic concentration of 10-12 ng/ml.
- hormonal replacement therapy of menopause in combination with estrogens either during the whole space of the ovarial cycle or during the last 7 ⁇ 10 days, at a dosage between 25 and 200 mg/d of progesterone, said dosage being supplied either as a sole administration or in a subdivided form (2-3 daily doses) in order to maintain an optimum concentration during the 24 hours;
- compositions according to the invention are supplied for merely illustrative but not limitative purposes.
- Progesterone (50 g) was supported on ⁇ -cyclodextrin (250 g) by means of the high energy co-grinding technique , by co-grinding for lh under a water vapour atmosphere , whereas the other components , consisting of cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone ( 10 g) , microcrystalline cellulose (20 g) , calcium dibasic phosphate (30 g) , colloidal silica (8 g) and magnesium stearate (2 g) , were subsequently admixed with the co-ground product. The thus obtained product was then subdivided into tablets and capsules .
- EXAMPLE 2 EXAMPLE 2
- TOTAL 710 Progesterone (50 g) was supported on ⁇ -cyclodextrin (500 g) by means of the high-energy co-grinding technique, by co-grinding for lh, under a water vapour atmosphere , whereas the other components , consisting of : cross-linked polyvinyl-pyrrolidone ( 60 g) , microcrystalline cellulose (46 g) , calcium dibasic phosphate (45 g) , colloidal silica ( 7 g) and magnesium stearate ( 2 g) , were subsequently admixed with the co-ground product .
- the mixture was then subdivided into tablets .
- EXAMPLE 3 A composition was prepared having the following unitary content per each single dose ( tablet) : mg
- Progesterone 50 g was supported on cross-linked polyvinyl- pyrrolidone (250 g) by a swelling of the same with 500 ml of a 10J. w.w. solution of the drug in methylene chloride, followed by a removal of the solvent by means of an evaporation at a rate of 2 ml/minute. On the product there were then sprayed 200 ml of a 10 b.w.
