Problems solved by technology

However, it is not a simple matter to prepare such small particles, and further difficulties have arisen in both aspects of related preparation techniques and how to obtain qualified products
For example, there are difficulties in obtaining a continuous, narrow particle size range, especially in batch production
Moreover, it is necessary to obtain stable products such as nano-suspensions, but microparticles and nanoparticles have a tendency to aggregate and flocculate, which is counterproductive to product stability

Embodiment 1

[0060] Example 1: Preparation of Nanoparticulate Spironolactone as Topical Formulation

[0061] Preparation of Nanoparticle Spironolactone

[0062] Table 1 shows a typical preparation method of nanoparticulate spironolactone incorporated into the crystal structure according to the present invention. Nanoparticle spironolactone can be prepared as follows:

[0063] Combine the aqueous formulation of the stabilizer with water or injection buffer under magnetic stirring until a clear solution is obtained; wet the spironolactone with the appropriate amount of aqueous surfactant to form a slurry; disperse the resulting suspension with high shear Disperse the suspension with magnetic force to eliminate foam; the obtained suspension passes through a high-pressure piston gap homogenizer to obtain a nano-suspension. Use Avestin C5 TM Formulations 1-7 were prepared using Avestin C50 TM Formulations 8-9 were prepared. During homogenization, drug particles are broken up by cavitation ...

Embodiment 2

[0122] Example 2: Size of spironolactone particles before and after storage

[0123] Figures 1, 2 and 3 are micrographs of spironolactone of the present invention when it is just prepared, after being stored for 7 months, and compared with commercially available spironolactone. The distance between each vertical grid in the figure is 0.01 mm or 10 microns.

[0124] The particles shown in Figures 1 and 2 are so small that they are barely visible under an optical microscope. The particles did not grow any longer after storage for 7 months. In contrast, the commercially available spirosterolactone "Spiroderm" (Figure 3) presents spironolactone crystals as large as 20 microns.

Abstract

The invention relates to a topical nanoparticulate spironolactone formulation comprising nanoparticles having a mean diameter, measured by photon correlation spectroscopy, in the range of from about 300nm to about 900nm. The nanoparticles are incorporated into a crystalline network system comprising a dispersion of solid crystals of polar lipids, said lipids exposing their hydrophilic side outwards and their hydrophobic side inwards towards the spironolactone nanoparticles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the use of nanoparticle spironolactone (spironolactone) in local treatment of diseases related to antiandrogen substances. Such conditions include: acne, hirsutism, androgenetic alopecia, or rosacea. Background technique [0002] Spironolactone is known to be an aldosterone inhibitor and is often used as a potassium-sparing diuretic. Commercially available spironolactones such as spironolactone (aldactone) are useful in treatments such as congestive heart failure. The solubility of spironolactone in water is extremely low, 2.8mg / 100ml. This low solubility negatively affects drug absorption in the body, resulting in poor bioavailability, necessitating higher doses of the drug to achieve the desired blood concentration levels. The low solubility of spironolactone also limits its availability in drug formulation. [0003] Other pharmaceutical applications exploit the antiandrogenic properties of spironolactone to treat...
