Lisinopril formulations
View Patent ↗Provided herein are stable lisinopril oral liquid formulations. Also provided herein are methods of using lisinopril oral liquid formulations for the treatment of certain diseases including hypertension, heart failure and acute myocardial infarction.
1. A method of treating hypertension in a subject comprising administering to that subject a therapeutically effective amount of a stable oral liquid formulation, comprising:
(i) about 1 mg/ml lisinopril or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof;
(ii) a sweetener;
(iii) a buffer comprising citric acid and sodium citrate;
(iv) a preservative selected from the group consisting of sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, and salts thereof; and
(v) water;
wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 6 months.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lisinopril is lisinopril dihydrate.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pH of the formulation is between about 4 and about 5.2.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 24 months.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hypertension is primary (essential) hypertension.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the hypertension is secondary hypertension.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has blood pressure values greater than or equal to 140/90 mmm Hg.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is elderly.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject is a child.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the formulation is further administered in combination with an agent selected from the group consisting of diuretics, beta blockers, alpha blockers, mixed alpha and beta blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin II receptor antagonists, ACE inhibitors, aldosterone antagonists, and alpha-2 agonists.
11. A method of treating heart failure in a subject comprising administering to that subject a therapeutically effective amount of a stable oral liquid formulation, comprising:
(i) about 1 mg/ml lisinopril or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof;
(ii) a sweetener;
(iii) a buffer comprising citric acid and sodium citrate;
(iv) a preservative selected from the group consisting of sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, and salts thereof; and
(v) water;
wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 6 months.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the lisinopril is lisinopril dihydrate.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the pH of the formulation is between about 4 and about 5.2.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 24 months.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the subject is not responding adequately to diuretics and digitalis.
16. A method of treating a hemodynamically stable subject within 24 hours of acute myocardial infarction comprising administering to that subject a therapeutically effective amount of a stable oral liquid formulation, comprising:
(i) about 1 mg/ml lisinopril or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof;
(ii) a sweetener;
(iii) a buffer comprising citric acid and sodium citrate;
(iv) a preservative selected from the group consisting of sodium benzoate, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, methylparaben, propylparaben, and salts thereof; and
(v) water;
wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 6 months.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the lisinopril is lisinopril dihydrate.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the pH of the formulation is between about 4 and about 5.2.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the formulation is stable at about 25±5° C. for at least 24 months.
20. The method of claim 16 , wherein the formulation is further administered in combination with an agent selected from the group consisting of beta blockers, aspirin, and thrombolytics.
