Description

PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION OF VILAZODONE
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising micronized particles of vilazodone and processes for their preparation. It further relates to a method of treating and/or preventing central nervous system disorders by administering said pharmaceutical compositions.
Background of the Invention
Vilazodone hydrochloride, disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,532,241 is chemically designated as 2-benzofurancarboxamide, 5-[4-[4-(5-cyano-lH-indol-3-yl)butyl]-l- piperazinyl]-, hydrochloride (1 : 1). Vilazodone hydrochloride is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and a 5HTIA receptor partial agonist. It is indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder.
A review of the art shows that U.S. Patent No. 7,834,020 discloses fifteen crystalline modifications of vilazodone hydrochloride designated as Form I through Form XV. It also discloses conventional forms of administration such as tablets and capsules. PCT Publication No. WO 2012/131706 discloses the amorphous form of vilazodone hydrochloride, and PCT Publication No. WO 2013/078361 discloses several other polymorphic forms of vilazodone hydrochloride.
As the aqueous solubility of any drug substance plays an important role in pharmaceutical compositions, it always remains a challenge to formulators to increase the aqueous solubility in order to further enhance dissolution and absorption characteristics. Vilazodone hydrochloride, being poorly soluble in an aqueous medium, exhibits poor bioavailability following oral administration.
Thus there remains a need in the art for an improved formulation of vilazodone which can be formulated in pharmaceutical compositions that have enhanced dissolution and absorption characteristics.
Particle size plays an important role in establishing drug solubility. As the particle size is reduced, the surface area of the individual particles of the drug increases, thus a greater amount of a drug can be solubilized for obtaining a therapeutic effect, which leads to higher therapeutic efficacy. The present invention demonstrates that by processing vilazodone to bring its particle size within a specified narrow range, pharmaceutical compositions may be prepared which exhibit both a desired in-vitro dissolution profile and in-vivo bioavailability. Further, it has been found that there is no polymorphic conversion observed while micronizing the vilazodone particles. In addition to this, polymorphic stability has been surprisingly observed even after applying great force during micronization.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention includes pharmaceutical compositions comprising micronized particles of vilazodone with enhanced dissolution and absorption
characteristics. It also includes processes for the preparation of said pharmaceutical compositions. It further includes a method of treating and/or preventing central nervous system disorders, in particular major depressive disorder, by administering said pharmaceutical compositions.
