Description
Solid cyclosporin A and dispersion composition containing the same Technical Field The present invention relates to a solid cyclosporin a having improved dispersibility and a dispersion composition obtained by dispersing the solid cyclosporin a, which exhibits improved dispersibility. Background In the pharmaceutical art, the preparation of aqueous compositions is one of the important tasks. Water is the most common solvent and liquid phase for drinking, the most used solvent in pharmaceutical formulations. However, many drugs are strongly nonpolar and therefore have insufficient solubility in water as a polar solvent. Therefore, even though having excellent therapeutic effects, insoluble or poorly soluble drugs having poor solubility have a problem in that they cannot be formulated into clinically useful pharmaceutical preparations. As a representative known technique for solving these problems, there is a micelle solubilization technique in which a poorly soluble drug is dissolved by a surfactant. A surfactant is a substance having both hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity in one molecule, and generally refers to a substance that can help disperse a target substance or stabilize a dispersed state by being mainly distributed at an interface of the target substance (e.g., a drug) and a dispersion medium (e.g., water), or a substance that performs these functions. The micelle solubilization technique is a technique for causing a target substance to be contained in a dispersion medium at a high content exceeding the saturation solubility by selectively distributing the target substance which is poorly soluble in the dispersion medium into nano-sized micelles formed by self-assembly of a surfactant contained in the dispersion medium at a concentration exceeding a specific concentration (critical micelle concentration). Disclosure of Invention Technical problem Bioavailability is a concept in pharmaceutical technology that represents the amount and rate of drug delivered from a site of administration to a site of action where the drug produces a therapeutic effect in the body, and if the bioavailability is low, even if the drug has a high therapeutic effect in the body, the actual amount delivered to the organ in the body where it should act is low, so the therapeutic effect in the body is maintained at a low or insignificant level. Bioavailability can be understood as flux through biological barriers in the body (e.g., cornea, skin, blood brain barrier, and blood retina barrier) (see equation 8 below). [ Equation 8] Flux = solubilityPermeability of It can be seen therein that in order to increase flux, the solubility and permeability must be highly balanced. According to biopharmaceutical classification systems, 70% of the total drug belongs to class II with high permeability and low solubility, and 20% belongs to class IV with low permeability and low solubility (Reintjes, T., Solubility enhancement with BASF Pharma polymers: Solubilizer Compendium. BASF, (2021) pp.9-10) . If the micelle solubilization technique is applied to a polar dispersion medium (e.g., water), the outer surface of the drug surrounded by the surfactant becomes hydrophilic as compared to the state where the drug exists alone. However, since most in vivo physiological barriers include a phospholipid layer or a hydrophobic layer, the permeability of the biological barrier of the pharmaceutical composition achieved by micelle solubilization techniques is generally reduced. For this reason, micelle solubilization technology has a trade-off between improving solubility and increasing permeability, and thus is limited in that it is difficult to obtain a pharmaceutical composition having improved bioavailability to the extent of improved therapeutic effect. In addition, most surfactants have problems such as environmental pollution or toxicity or side effects in the body, and thus it is required to minimize the amount of the surfactant. Therefore, it can be said that the necessity and commercial value thereof are great for a technique that can achieve an improvement in solubility even if the amount of the surfactant used is lower or minimized than in the prior art. These techniques can improve permeability by less amount of surfactant than required in the prior art, with the result that bioavailability or therapeutic effect can be improved and environmental pollution or in vivo toxicity/side effects can also be minimized. The objects of the present invention are not limited to the above objects, and other objects and advantages of the present invention not mentioned above can be understood by the following description, and can be more clearly understood by the embodiments of the present invention. It will also be readily understood that the objects and advantages of the invention may be realized by the means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
