Improved carbetocin drug product with increased resistance to aggregation
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11844764B2) discloses a method for preparing a carbetocin drug product with increased resistance to aggregation. The method involves dissolving carbetocin or its salt with various excipients to form an aqueous solution, agitating the solution to form aggregate-forming solids, removing the solids, and adding the solution to a container to create the final drug product. This process results in a carbetocin drug product that shows enhanced resistance to aggregation when subjected to shaking stress, compared to untreated carbetocin solutions.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify the use of specific excipients such as surface active agents like cellulose derivatives, solubilizers like hydrotropes, amino acids, or cyclodextrins, and other additives like tonicity enhancers and pH adjusters. The concentration ranges for these components are also detailed in the claims, ensuring the reproducibility and effectiveness of the method. By following this method, the resulting carbetocin drug product is expected to be substantially free of aggregate-forming solids, providing a stable and reliable formulation for potential pharmaceutical applications.
