Fighting prostate cancer with a tomato-rich diet


Ralph Turchiano's avatarCLINICALNEWS.ORG

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:

27-Aug-2014
Men who eat over 10 portions a week of tomatoes have an 18 per cent lower risk of developing prostate cancer, new research suggests.

With 35,000 new cases every year in the UK, and around 10,000 deaths, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men worldwide.

Rates are higher in developed countries, which some experts believe is linked to a Westernised diet and lifestyle.

To assess if following dietary and lifestyle recommendations reduces risk of prostate cancer, researchers at the Universities of Bristol, Cambridge and Oxford looked at the diets and lifestyle of 1,806 men aged between 50 and 69 with prostate cancer and compared with 12,005 cancer-free men.

The NIHR-funded study, published in the medical journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, is the first study of its kind to develop a prostate cancer ‘dietary index’ which consists of dietary components – selenium, calcium…

The present study reports novel cocrystals of telmisartan (TEL) with saccharin and glutaric acid.
 
The present study reports novel cocrystals of telmisartan (TEL) with saccharin and glutaric acid. Crystal engineering approaches such as solution crystallization, solid-state grinding and slurry method have been utilized with the ultimate objective of improving the solubility of this BCS class II drug. The physical characterization revealed that the cocrystals are unique vis-à-visthermal, spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction properties. Structural characterization showed that the cocrystals with saccharin and glutaric acid exist in monoclinic P21/c and triclinic P[1 with combining macron] space groups, respectively. The improved solubility of telmisartan–saccharin (TEL–SAC) (nine-fold) and telmisartan–glutaric acid (two-fold) cocrystals in comparison with the free drug has been demonstrated in solubility experiments in phosphate buffer, pH 7.5. The TEL–SAC cocrystal remained stable in the aqueous medium for 6 hours as confirmed by PXRD. The AUC0–24 of TEL–SAC and TEL–GA was found to be 2-fold and 1.4-fold increased in terms of bioavailability than pure TEL, respectively. The in vivo antihypertensive activity of TEL–SAC in DOCA salt-induced hypertensive rats showed two-fold improved efficacy, while acute toxicity studies revealed no signs of toxicity in rats even at doses of 2000 mg kg−1 of body weight (BW). The new solid phase of telmisartan with saccharin represents a promising and viable opportunity for the manufacture of a drug product with improved therapeutic outcomes.

Crystal structure determination of form I of anhydrous rifampicin by X-ray powder diffraction data. Crystal morphology prediction revealed a good agreement with the images of the crystals.
 
 
 
Rifampicin is a first-line drug widely used in the treatment of tuberculosis both in the intensive and in the treatment phase. In this work we characterized the crystal structure of form I of anhydrous rifampicin mainly by using X-ray powder diffraction data combined with the Rietveld method. Other complementary techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis were also employed. It crystallized in a monoclinic crystal system with space group C2 and the following unit cell parameters: a = 25.8846(2) Å, b = 14.2965(2) Å, c = 14.2796(2) Å, β = 122.98(1)°, V = 4432.81(7) Å3, Z = 4, Z′ = 1 and ρcalc = 1.23310(2) g cm−3. A BFDH model was used to inspect the crystal morphology prediction, and great similarity with crystals observed on an optical microscope was found. The FTIR spectrum confirmed the results obtained by X-ray powder diffraction, which indicates that all the functional groups involved in H bonding are intramolecularly connected. This polymorphic form presented a thermal stability up to approximately 230 °C.

Two new cocrystals of ezetimibe were identified and scale-up. Ezetimibe-proline cocrystal showed improved apparent solubility and physical stability.
 
 
The objectives of the study were to screen and prepare cocrystals of anti-cholesterol drug ezetimibe (EZT) with the aim of increasing its solubility and dissolution rate. Thermodynamic phase diagram based high throughput screening was performed using wet milling/grinding or solution crystallization methods. A large number of coformers were tested and the resulting solids were preliminarily characterized using X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) and Raman spectroscopy. Potential cocrystals of EZT with L-proline and imidazole and a solvate formamide were identified in the screening experiments. The cocrystal hits were further characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), solution Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) and single crystal XRD. The dissolution properties and stability of cocrystals were determined. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data were obtained for EZT, EZT-IMI cocrystal and formamide solvate of ezetimibe. All three systems were crystallized in non-centrosymmetric orthorhombic space group P212121 with Z = 4. Robust O–HO, O–HN, N–HO and C–HO hydrogen bonds played an important role in all these crystal structures. EZT-PRO cocrystal showed improved apparent solubility and solid state stability.

Aripiprazole

7-[4-[4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-1- piperazinyl]butoxy]- 3,4-dihydro-2(1H)-quinolinone.

END AUG 2014

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received a new drug application (NDA) from Ireland-based Alkermes for its aripiprazole lauroxil to treat schizophrenia.

Aripiprazole lauroxil is an injectable atypical antipsychotic with one-month and two-month formulations, developed for the treatment of schizophrenia, which is a chronic, severe and disabling brain disorder.

The company has submitted the application based on positive results from the pivotal phase three study that assessed the efficacy and safety of aripiprazole lauroxil, where the drug demonstrated significant improvements in schizophrenia symptoms when compared to a placebo.

“We have designed aripiprazole lauroxil to be a differentiated treatment option for schizophrenia, with a ready-to-use format with multiple dosing options.”

Alkermes CEO Richard Pops said: “We have designed aripiprazole lauroxil to be a differentiated treatment option for schizophrenia, with a ready-to-use format with multiple dosing options, to help meet the individual needs of patients and their healthcare providers.

“These attributes, together with the robust clinical data observed in the pivotal study, position aripiprazole lauroxil to be a meaningful new entrant in the growing long-acting injectable antipsychotic market, and we look forward to working with the FDA to bring this important new medication to patients and physicians as quickly as possible.”

The study, in which both doses of aripiprazole lauroxil tested, including 441mg and 882mg, reached the primary endpoint with statistically significant and clinically meaningful reductions in positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) scores, according to the company.

In addition, it met all secondary endpoints and demonstrated significant improvements in schizophrenia symptoms against the placebo.

Aripiprazole (/ˌɛərɨˈpɪprəzl/ AIR-i-PIP-rə-zohl; brand names: Abilify, Aripiprex) is a partial dopamine agonist of the second generation (or atypical) class of antipsychotics that is primarily used in the treatment of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder (as an add on to other treatment), tic disorders, and irritability associated with autism.[5]

It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for schizophrenia on November 15, 2002 and the European Medicines Agency on 4 June 2004; for acute manic and mixed episodes associated with bipolar disorder on October 1, 2004; as an adjunct for major depressive disorder on November 20, 2007;[6] and to treat irritability in children with autism on 20 November 2009.[7] Likewise it was approved for use as a treatment for schizophrenia by the TGA of Australia in May 2003.[1]

Aripiprazole was developed by Otsuka in Japan, and in the United States, Otsuka America markets it jointly with Bristol-Myers Squibb.

Regulator status

In the United States, the FDA has approved aripiprazole for the treatment of schizophrenia in adults and adolescents (aged 13–17), of manic and mixed episodes associated with Bipolar I (One) Disorder with or without psychotic features in adults, children and adolescents (aged 10–17),[59] of irritability associated with autism in pediatric patients (aged 6–17),[60] and of depression when used along with antidepressants in adults.[61]

Aripiprazole has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of acute manic and mixed episodes, in both pediatric patients aged 10–17 and in adults.[62]

In 2007, aripiprazole was approved by the FDA for the treatment of unipolar depression when used adjunctively with an antidepressant medication.[63] It has not been FDA-approved for use as monotherapy in unipolar depression.

Patent status

Otsuka’s US patent on aripiprazole expires on October 20, 2014;[64] however, due to a pediatric extension, a generic will not become available until at least April 20, 2015.[62] Barr Laboratories (now Teva Pharmaceuticals) initiated a patent challenge under the Hatch-Waxman Act in March 2007.[65] On November 15, 2010, this challenge was rejected by a United States district court in New Jersey.[1][2]

The process involves purification of the intermediate, 7-(4- bromobutoxy) -3, 4-dihydrocarbostyril (III) by silica gel column chromatography to remove impurities formed during the reaction. The process further involves two recrystallizations of Aripiprazole from ethanol to obtain the pure Aripiprazole though compromising on yields by increasing the operational cost of the product. PCT publication WO 03/026659 discloses low hygroscopic forms of

Aripiprazole and the process for their preparation from the Aripiprazole hydrate Form SA’ . It further states that the anhydrous

Aripiprazole made by the Japanese patent publication No. 191256/1990, yields the Aripiprazole, which is significantly hygroscopic. As per PCT publication WO 03/026659 anhydrous crystals of Aripiprazole exist as type-I crystals and type-II crystals. Further discloses that the type-I crystals are prepared -by recrsytallization from ethanol solution of

Aripiprazole or by heating Aripiprazole hydrate at 800C and type-II crystals by heating type-I crystals at 130 to 1400C for 15 hrs.

Research

Perhaps owing to its mechanism of action relating to dopamine receptors, there is some evidence to suggest that aripiprazole blocks cocaine-seeking behavior in animal models without significantly affecting other rewarding behaviors (such as food self-administration).[67] Aripiprazole may be counter-therapeutic as treatment for methamphetamine dependency because it increased methamphetamine’s stimulant and euphoric effects, and increased the baseline level of desire for methamphetamine.[68]

According to Example 1 of Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 191256/1990, anhydrous aripiprazole crystals are manufactured for example by reacting 7-(4-bromobutoxy)-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril with 1-(2,3-dichlorophenylpiperadine and recrystallizing the resulting raw anhydrousaripiprazole with ethanol. Also, according to the Proceedings of the 4th Japanese-Korean Symposium on Separation Technology (Oct. 6-8, 1996), anhydrousaripiprazole crystals are manufactured by heating aripiprazole hydrate at 80° C. However, the anhydrous aripiprazole crystals obtained by the aforementioned methods have the disadvantage of being significantly hygroscopic.

The hygroscopicity of these crystals makes them difficult to handle since costly and burdensome measures must be taken in order ensure they are not exposed to moisture during process and formulation. Exposed to moisture, the anhydrous form can take on water and convert to a hydrous form. This presents several disadvantages. First, the hydrous forms of aripiprazole have the disadvantage of being less bioavailable and less dissoluble than the anhydrous forms ofaripiprazole. Second, the variation in the amount of hydrous versus anhydrousaripiprazole drug substance from batch to batch could fail to meet specifications set by drug regulatory agencies. Third, the milling may cause the drug substance, Conventional Anhydrous Aripiprazole, to adhere so manufacturing equipment which may further result in processing delay, increased operator involvement, increased cost, increased maintenance, and lower production yield. Fourth, in addition to problems caused by introduction of moisture during the processing of these hygroscopic crystals, the potential for absorbance of moisture during storage and handling would adversely affect the dissolubility of aripiprazole drug substance. Thus shelf-life of the product could be significantly decreased and/or packaging costs could be significantly increased. It would be highly desirable to discover a form of aripiprazole that possessed low hygroscopicity thereby facilitating pharmaceutical processing and formulation operations required for producing dosage units of an aripiprazole medicinal product having improved shelf-life, suitable dissolubility and suitable bioavailability.

Also, Proceedings of the 4 the Japanese-Korean Symposium on Separation Technology (Oct. 6-8, 1996) state that, anhydrous aripiprazole crystals exist as type-I crystals and type-II crystals; the type-I crystals of anhydrous aripiprazolecan be prepared by recrystallizing from an ethanol solution of aripiprazole, or by heating aripiprazole hydrate at 80° C.; and the type-II crystals of anhydrousaripiprazole can be prepared by heating the type-I crystals of anhydrousaripiprazole at 130 to 140° C. for 15 hours.

By the aforementioned methods, anhydrous aripiprazole type-II crystals having high purity can not be easily prepared in an industrial scale with good repeatability.

Handling of OOS Results in Europe


DR ANTHONY MELVIN CRASTO Ph.D's avatarDRUG REGULATORY AFFAIRS INTERNATIONAL

 

FDA’s Guidance on Out-of-Specification Results has been seen as the state of the art regarding the handling of OOS results. In the meantime, Europe – through the British MHRA and the German ZLG – has also developed requirements on that topic. Read more here about the most important regulations of the respective guidance documents.

 

GMP News: Handling of OOS Results in Europe

http://www.gmp-compliance.org/enews_4461_Handling-of-OOS-Results-in-Europe_8360,8430,Z-QCM_n.html

For some time now, information about the handling of OOS results has been put on the website of the MHRA. There, you can find a Guidance document entitled “Out of Specification Investigations”. This document was updated last year to add microbiological aspects.

It is easier to understand than the FDA Guideline on the same topic. The different Flow Charts are also helpful.

A definition of all terms – both Out-of-Specification (OOS) Results and Out of Trend (OOT) Results – is provided at the beginning as…

FDA ALLOWS MARKETING OF FIRST ZNT8AB AUTOANTIBODY TEST TO HELP DIAGNOSE TYPE 1 DIABETES


FDA allows marketing of first ZnT8Ab autoantibody test to help diagnose type 1 diabetes

 
 
 
Today, August 20, 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed marketing of the first zinc transporter 8 autoantibody (ZnT8Ab) test that can help determine if a person has type 1 diabetes and not another type of diabetes. When used with other tests and patient clinical information, the test may help some people with type 1 diabetes receive timely diagnosis and treatment for their disease.
Type 1 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes diagnosed in children and adolescents, but in some instances it may also develop in adults. People with the disease produce little or no insulin because their immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, a hormone that converts sugars (glucose) in food to the energy the bodyneeds. People with type 1 diabetes mustinject insulinto regulate their blood glucose because proper regulation is critical to lower their risk of long-term complications such as blindness, kidney failure and cardiovascular disease.
The immune system of many people with type 1 diabetes produces ZnT8Ab, but patients with other types of diabetes (type 2 and gestational) do not. The KRONUS Zinc Transporter 8 Autoantibody (ZnT8Ab) ELISA Assay detects the presence of the ZnT8 autoantibody in a patient’s blood.
“Early treatment of type 1 diabetes is important in helping to prevent further deterioration of insulin producing cells,” said Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health at the FDA. “This test can help patients get a timely diagnosis and help start the right treatment sooner.”
The KRONUS ZnT8Ab ELISA Assay was reviewed through the de novo premarket review pathway, a regulatory pathway for some low- to moderate-risk medical devices that are not substantially equivalent to an already legally marketed device.
 
 
The agency reviewed data from a clinical study of 569 blood samples — 323 from patients with diagnosed type 1 diabetes and 246 samples from patients diagnosed with other kinds of diabetes, other autoimmune diseases, and other clinical conditions. The test was able to detect the ZnT8 autoantibody in 65 percent of the samples from patients with diagnosed type 1 diabetes and incorrectly gave a positive result in less than two percent of the samples from patients diagnosed with other disease.
A negative result from the test does not rule out a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes. The test should not be used to monitor the stage of disease or the response to treatment.
KRONUS Zinc Transporter 8 Autoantibody (ZnT8Ab) ELISA Assay is manufactured by KRONUS Market Development Associates, Inc. in Star, Idaho.

Iroko Pharmaceuticals Gains FDA Approval of Zorvolex for Management of Osteoarthritis Pain


 

Iroko Pharmaceuticals Gains FDA Approval of Zorvolex for Management of Osteoarthritis Pain

 

 

Thumbnail

August 25, 2014 — Iroko Pharmaceuticals, LLC, a global specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to advancing the science of analgesia, announced today the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Zorvolex (diclofenac) capsules, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for the management of osteoarthritis pain. This marks the second indication for Zorvolex, approved by FDA in October 2013 for the treatment of mild to moderate acute pain in adults1.

  

“Given the dose-related adverse events associated with NSAIDs as a class and the widespread use of NSAIDs for osteoarthritis, we are delighted to gain approval for our first SoluMatrix® NSAID for the management of osteoarthritis pain,” said Dr. Clarence Young, Chief Medical Officer of Iroko Pharmaceuticals. “Iroko has already made great strides to help fill the need for low dose NSAID options in patients with acute pain and we are continuing to expand our portfolio to also address chronic pain indications.”

 

Zorvolex was developed to align with recommendations from FDA and several professional medical organizations that NSAIDs be used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals2. Zorvolex is the first FDA-approved low dose NSAID developed using proprietary SoluMatrix Fine Particle Technology™ and is now available by prescription. Zorvolex contains diclofenac as submicron particles that are approximately 20 times smaller than their original size. The reduction in particle size provides an increased surface area, leading to faster dissolution.

 

“Expanding the use of Zorvolex beyond acute pain to osteoarthritis pain, a chronic condition, is a testament to Iroko’s continued commitment to developing a low dose NSAID portfolio to address a broad range of unmet patient needs,” said John Vavricka, President and CEO of Iroko Pharmaceuticals. “This second approval for Zorvolex continues to lay the groundwork for our future portfolio, which utilizes a new approach to pain management.”

 

The approval of Zorvolex for the management of osteoarthritis pain was supported by data from a 12-week, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial that enrolled 305 patients, aged 41-90 years, with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. Half of the patients were between the ages of 61-90. Participants were randomized to Zorvolex 35mg three times daily or 35mg twice daily, or placebo3. The Supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) also included data from a 12-month open-label safety study that enrolled 602 patients1.

“NSAIDs continue to be an integral part of the management for osteoarthritis, the most common type of arthritis4, and their use is likely to increase as the U.S. population continues to age and the incidence of osteoarthritis rises5,” said Dr. Roy Altman, Professor of Medicine in Rheumatology at UCLA. “The approval of Zorvolex is a welcome and meaningful advance and is the first SoluMatrix® NSAID option approved by the FDA for osteoarthritis pain.”
