Abstract

The present invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions comprising benzoquinoline compounds, and methods to inhibit vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) activity in a subject for the treatment of chronic hyperkinetic movement disorders.

Claims (68)

1. A pharmaceutical composition comprising, in a solid dosage form for oral delivery of between about 100 mg and about 1 g total weight:

between about 2% and about 18% of d 6 -tetrabenazine;

between about 60% and about 70% mannitol;

between about 15% and about 25% microcrystalline cellulose;

between about 1% and about 10% of a polyvinylpyrrolidone;

between about 0.5% and about 2% of a polysorbate;

between about 5% and about 20% of a poly(ethylene oxide) polymer; and

between about 0.5% and about 2% of magnesium stearate.

2. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 wherein said polyvinylpyrrolidone has an average molecular weight of about 58,000 and a K-value of 29 to 32.

3. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 wherein said polysorbate is polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate.

4. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 wherein said poly(ethylene oxide) polymer is poly(ethylene) oxide polymer PEG-45M.

5. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 further comprising an anti-oxidant.

6. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 5 wherein said anti-oxidant is selected from the group consisting of butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene.

7. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 further comprising an aqueous film coating.

8. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 7 wherein said aqueous film coating comprises polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and a FD&C color additive.

9. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 wherein the total weight is about 350 mg.

10. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 comprising from about 5 mg to about 30 mg of d 6 -tetrabenazine.

11. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 10 comprising about 6 mg of d 6 -tetrabenazine.

12. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 10 comprising about 12 mg of d 6 -tetrabenazine.

13. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 10 comprising about 15 mg of d 6 -tetrabenazine.

14. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 10 comprising about 18 mg of d 6 -tetrabenazine.

15. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 comprising, in a solid dosage form for oral delivery of about 350 mg total weight:

16. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 15 further comprising an anti-oxidant selected from the group consisting of butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene.

17. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 16 further comprising an aqueous film coating.

18. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 17 wherein said aqueous film coating comprises polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, talc, and a FD&C color additive.

19. The pharmaceutical composition as recited in claim 1 comprising, in a solid dosage form for oral delivery of about 350 mg total weight:
