Title:
TRANSMUCOSAL DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2011074086
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a pharmaceutical composition containing an ionizable pharmaceutical agent and one or more kinds of complementary lipophilic chemical species.

There are disclosed preparations and formulations of high thermodynamic activity lipophilic associations (LA), in which there is pairing between an ionizable pharmaceutical agent and a lipophilic species having ionic characteristics opposite to that of the pharmaceutical agent. Such lipophilic associations manifest high thermodynamic activity, as evidenced by their being predominantly in a liquid phase at room temperature or solvated in a lower-than-water dielectric solvent. The pharmaceutical agent being solubilized means, further, that dissolution is not rate limiting to transmucosal absorption. This LA or LA-solvate is formulated into a low dielectric dosage form, from whence, upon the dosage form's hydration, the pharmaceutical agent is driven through the mucosal tissue and into systemic circulation. The invention therefore provides an enhanced transmucosal drug delivery system for ionizable pharmaceutical agents at or near physiological pH.
