`PRESERVED OPHTHALMIC DRUG.
`COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING POLYMERIC
`QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS
`
`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
`
`The present invention relates generally to ophthalmic
`compositions. In particular, the present invention relates to
`the use of a polymeric quaternary ammonium compound and
`boric acid to provide preserved, storage-stable ophthalmic
`compositions of acidic drugs.
`Ophthalmic formulations generally contain one or more
`active compounds along with excipients such as surfactants,
`comforting agents, complexing agents, stabilizers, buffering
`systems, chelating agents, viscosity agents or gelling poly- 15
`mers and anti-oxidants. Ophthalmic formulations which are
`intended for multidose use require a preservative.
`Organo-mercurials have been used as preservatives in
`ophthalmic formulations including ophthalmic solutions of
`acidic drugs. These organo-mercurials include thimerosal, 20
`phenylmercuric acetate and phenylmercuric nitrate. Organo(cid:173)
`mercurials, however, have limitations due to potential mer(cid:173)
`cury toxicity and poor chemical stability.
`Sorbic acid, has also been used to preserve ophthalmic
`formulations, but it too possesses poor chemical stability as 25
`well as poor antimicrobial activity.
`Benzalkonium chloride is a widely used preservative in
`ophthalmic solutions. However, benzalkonium chloride and
`other quaternary ammonium compounds are generally con(cid:173)
`sidered to be incompatible with ophthalmic compositions of
`drugs with acidic groups, such as nonsteroidal antiinflam(cid:173)
`matory drugs ("NSAIDS"). These preservative lose their
`ability to function as they form complexes with the charged
`drug compounds.
`U.S. Pat. No. 5,110,493 discloses stable ophthalmic 35
`NSAID formulations which do not contain organo-mercurial
`preservatives. Instead, the reference NSAID formulations
`use quaternary ammonium compounds, such as cetyltrim(cid:173)
`ethylammonium bromide, cetylpyridinium chloride and
`preferably, benzalkonium chloride, and a stabilizing amount 40
`of a nonionic surfactant.
`PCf application WO 94/15597 discloses the use of lau(cid:173)
`ralkonium chloride, the c12 homolog of benzalkonium chlo(cid:173)
`ride, in ophthalmic formulations of drugs which are incom- 45
`patible with benzalkonium chloride. Unlike the mixture of
`alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride known as benza(cid:173)
`lkonium chloride, this PCT application discloses that lau(cid:173)
`ralkonium chloride is compatible with acidic drug entities;
`apparently it does not form insoluble ion complexes with the 50
`charged drug compounds.
`In some cases, the present lack of a single preservative
`which is safe, stable, and able to meet both the United States
`Pharmacopoeia (USP) and European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.
`Eur.) preservative effectiveness requirements for ophthalmic
`formulations of acidic drugs has forced pharmaceutical
`companies to develop more than one formulation of the
`same drug, with each formulation containing a different
`preservative.
`U.S. Pat. No. 4,960,799 discloses storage stable aqueous
`ophthalmic compositions containing diclofenac, a nonste(cid:173)
`roidal antiinflammatory drug, and/or its pharmaceutically
`acceptable salts. The reference compositions include EDTA
`as a stabilizing agent, a solubilizer such as polyethoxylated
`castor oil, and a bacteriostat. The preferred bacteriostats are 65
`thimerosal and sorbic acid. No mention is made of any
`polymeric quaternary ammonium preservative.
`
`2
`The use of POLYQUAD® and other polymeric quater(cid:173)
`nary ammonium compounds as a disinfectant and preserva(cid:173)
`tive in contact lens care and artificial tear solutions is known.
`See, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,037,647; 4,525,346; and
`5 4,407,791.
`U.S. Pat. No. 4,525,346, in addition to disclosing appli(cid:173)
`cations in contact lens and artificial tear solutions, also
`discloses the use of certain polymeric quaternary ammonium
`compounds in formulations containing certain ophthalmic
`10 drugs. However, neither this reference nor any of the other
`references mentioned above discloses the use of a polymeric
`quaternary ammonium compound as a preservative in for(cid:173)
`mulations of acidic ophthalmic drugs, that is, drugs which
`may be incompatible with positively charged preservatives.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`It has now been discovered that the use of a combination
`of a polymeric quaternary ammonium compound such as
`POLYQUAD® and boric acid in ophthalmic compositions
`of acidic drugs provides a storage-stable composition which
`has surprisingly good preservative efficacy. This preserva(cid:173)
`tive combination of a polymeric quaternary ammonium
`compound and boric acid is useful in ophthalmic composi(cid:173)
`tions of acidic drugs such as prostaglandins, antifungals,
`antibactedals, and diagnostic agents. This preservative com(cid:173)
`bination is especially useful in ophthalmic solutions of drugs
`containing either a carboxyl group such as non-steroidal
`anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) or a sulfonamide group
`30 such as antibacterial drugs.
`The present invention also relates to a method for treating
`or controlling ocular inflammation which comprises topi(cid:173)
`cally administering to the affected eye a composition com(cid:173)
`prising a NSAID, a polymeric quaternary ammonium com(cid:173)
`pound and boric acid.
`Among other factors, the present invention is based on the
`discovery that ophthalmic compositions containing a poly(cid:173)
`meric quaternary ammonium compound and boric acid may
`be effectively preserved by the USP and Ph. Eur. preserva(cid:173)
`tive effectiveness requirements despite the absence of
`EDTA, a conventional chelating agent known to potentiate
`the antimicrobial activity of preservatives such as benzalko(cid:173)
`nium chloride and sorbic acid.
`

`
`Preparation
`The preparation of Formulation A is detailed below.
`Formulations B and C can be prepared in similar fashion.
`Initially, a 10% stock solution of TPGS and a 2% stock
`solution of HPMC were prepared in water under constant
`stirring. Heat was applied if necessary to ensure complete
`dissolution.
`To a tared glass vessel containing approximately 40%
`final weight of purified water was added diclofenac-sodium.
`This mixture was stirred until the diclofenac was completely
`45 dissolved. The following ingredients were then added with
`stirring in the order given below, and each ingredient was
`completely dissolved before addition of the next ingredient:
`stock solution of vitamin E TPGS; tromethamine; boric acid;
`Polyquad®; mannitol; and stock solution of HPMC.
`Water was then added to bring the formulation to 95% of
`its final weight, and the pH of the formulation adjusted to
`between 7 and 7.4 using NaOH and/or HCl. Water was then
`added to bring the final weight to 100%. The resulting
`formulations were approximately isotonic (above 300 mil(cid:173)
`liOsmoles per kilogram (mOsrnlkg)).
