Definitions
- the invention relates to a wire, tube or catheter coated with at least one layer O * F a hydrophilic biocompatible material comprising a pharmacologically active compound, to a medical device for the controlled release or (on-site) delivery of pharmacologically active compounds, and to a method of preparation thereof .
- Metallic wires and tubes, metallic coils, and polymeric catheters are widely used m clinical practice, especially m non- invasive diagnostics or therapy. Important examples are found in non-invasive cardiology.
- the wires, coils, or catheters are covered by a thin coating, which usually consists of poly (tetrafluoro-ethylene) , or of a lubricious hydrophilic polymeric material.
- Products with a hydrophilic coating are designed to feature excellent lubricity and a high level of biocompatibility, m the sense that they have low thrombogenicity, little or no propensity to activate contacting blood platelets, and do not invoke irritation of the surrounding tissues.
- wires, coils and catheters m the cardiovascular system is common practice, e.g. during the treatment or coronary disease through PTCA (percutaneous translummary coronary angioplasty) .
- PTCA percutaneous translummary coronary angioplasty
- One of the drawbacks associated with the use of wires, coils and catheters which are used m the blood vessel system it is still necessary to administer an anticoagulant drug to the patient.
- This anticoagulant drug (usually hepann) prevents coagulation of blood as a result of the contact of the blood with the artificial surface of the wire, coil, or catheter.
- the administration of the anticoagulant is normally performed intravenous. Due to the a-selective administration of the anticoagulants this method is associated with a significant risk for bleeding.
- the invention relates to a wire, tube or catheter coated with at least one layer of a hydrophilic biocompatible material containing at least one pharmacologically active compound.
- the invention relates to such wires, tubes or catheter having a biocompatible coating, which wire, tube or catheter is suitable for controlled drug release .
- the wires, coils, and also catheters according to the invention have a hydrophilic polymeric layer or coating m such a way that the pharmacologically active compound or drug is impregnated m the polymeric coating.
- the coated and drug loaded product according to the invention is sterilised prior to its use.
- the wire, coil, or catheter is introduced into the body according to the normal procedure. This means that a small incision is made, and that the tip of the wire, coil or catheter is forwarded to the desired location m the body.
- the unique feature of this invention is that the hydrophilic coating on the product will immediately start to swell and to release the drug upon the contact with an aqueous environment .
- the aqueous environment can be provided by the vascular system, the urinary tract, or by placement of (part of) the wire, coil, or catheter m other places m the body for instance ultra-abdominal or mtra-articular, mtracapsular or intra-ocular.
- the contact with the blood in the vascular system represents, the contact with the aqueous environment. Accordingly the hydrophilic polymer will swell and subsequently release the drug.
- the swelling of the coating, as well as the release of the drug into the bloodstream or other parts of the body are essentially diffusion processes. Without being bound by any statement it is thought that the swelling of the biocompatible material is caused by the absorption of water by the material. This is also a criterion for the selection of the hydrophilic component of the biocompatible material .
- the kinetics of swelling and drug release can be controlled via synthesis of the polymeric coating: a more hydrophilic coating will show fast swelling, and fast concomitant release of the drug. Likewise by employing a less hydrophilic coating the swelling of the coating will be less resulting m a slower release of the drug.
- the concentration of the drug m the polymeric coating also ⁇ e ermmes the amount of drug that is released during the use of the wire, coil or catheter.
- the amount of the drug that is released can further be controlled by the application of an additional layer of the same hydrophilic biocompatible swelling material which additional layer does not comprise the drug or of the application of a biocompatible and swellable material or a slowly dissolving material to further tune the release kinetics of the drug.
- the wire, tube or catheter according to the invention is made from a metal or an alloy, or a polymeric material or a combination thereof.
- suitable metals and alloys are stainless steel, tantalum, platinum, gold and shape- memory alloys such as nitinol .
- the form of the wire, tube or catheter is, m general, not critical. However, when the wire, tube or catheter is m the form of a spring or a coil, this is considered advantageous as it allows for a relative large surface m a small volume. This design allows for a more precise control of the delivery of a suitable amount of drugs .
- the polvmeric coating is applied m such manner to the wire, tube or catheter that the material provides an adherent matrix, suitable for the incorporation of drugs on the wire, tube or catheter.
- the polymer coating is applied to the surface of the product m one of the final steps of its manufacturing, but prior to sterilisation.
- the polymeric biomate ⁇ al can be applied as a solution m a volatile organic solvent, via a spray process, a dip-coatmg process, or otherwise.
- This may be followed by a treatment of the coated product at elevated temperature and/or vacuum, in order to facilitate evaporation of residual solvent molecules, and/or in order to achieve firm attachment of the polymer coating to the metallic surface
- a primer coating which is sandwiched between the metallic surface and the polymeric biomaterial may be advantageous.
- the copolymers as described above can be dissolved in a volatile organic solvent, and can be applied to the product via a dip-coatmg procedure or via a spray process. Other processes resulting in a suitable coating on the metal may also be used.
- the final hydrophilic polymeric coating provides an adherent matrix in the dry state, in the fully hydrated wet state, as well as m all intermediate states of partial hydration which are passed during the process of swelling and release of the drug m situ. Swelling of the coating polymer facilitates the diffusion of drug into the blood stream, while no dissolution of the polymeric material occurs .
- the invention according to another aspect also comprises the hydrophilic biocompatible material and the synthesis of this biomaterial out of which the drug-carrying coating is constructed.
- the coating on the wire, tube or catheter m general comprises a composition that is swellable.
- a swellable polymer is obtained by preparation of a copolymer of a hydrophilic component and a hydrophobic component. Examples are, but are not limited to the following combinations of hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomeric building blocks: (i) hydrophilic: N-vinylpyrrolidinone, hydrophobic: n-butylmetha- crylate; (ii), hydrophilic: hydroxyethylmethacrylate, hydrophobic: methylmethacrylate; (iii) , hydrophilic: N-dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate , hydrophobic : cyclohexylacrylate .
- the hydrophilic component will allow the polymeric material to swell whereas the hydrophobic material prevents the dissolution of the polymeric material.
- the hydrophilic biocompatible polymeric material comprises a hydrophilic component and a hydrophobic component .
- the polymeric coating material is a copolymer of a hydrophobic reactive monomer, and a hydrophilic reactive monomer.
- the desired swelling characteristics and the release kinetics of the drug are influenced by the ratio of hydrophilic and hydrophobic units in the polymeric material.
- the incorporation of a relative large amount of hydrophilic units results in a polymeric material that is very swellable and the contact with an aqueous environment will result in a quicker release of the drug than in the case where a relative low amount of hydrophilic units is incorporated in the polymeric material.
- the release and/or the delivery of the drug is thus controlled by the ratio of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic component. Accordingly, in a preferred embodiment the ratio of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic component is adjusted to control the controlled release and/or delivery of the pharmacologically active compound.
- the ratio of the hydrophilic component to the hydrophobic component ranges from 0.1 to 100, preferably from 0.2 to 75, more preferably from 0.3 to 50. But also ratios of 1 to 10.2 to 20.3 to 30 are also possible.
- the hydrophobic monomer is selected from hydrophobic acrylates and methacrylates , preferably N-butylmethacrylate, but may also be selected from other hydrophobic (meth) acrylates such as for instance disclosed in NL-A-1001746.
- the hydrophilic monomer is chemically reactive, in such a way that it can participate in free-radical polymerisation reactions. A further requirement is that the hydrophilic monomer is soluble in water under ambient conditions.
- hydrophilic reactive monomers are, but are not limited to: (I) , N-vmyllactam structures such as N-vmylpyrrolidmone; (n) , acrylate and methacrylate structures with a hydrophilic side chain, such as hydroxyethylmethacrylate and N-dimethylammoethyl- methacrylate, (m) acrylated or methacrylated derivatives of hydrophilic molecules such as poly (ethyleneoxide) .
- the hydrophilic reactive monomer is selected from the group of N-vmyllactam structures, preferably N-vmylpyrrollidmone.
- the reactive monomers are subjected to a polymerisation reaction, and the product is dissolved m an organic solvent, such as N-methylpyrrollidmone (NMP) .
- NMP N-methylpyrrollidmone
- the biocompatible polymer according to the invention has a molecular weight of 10.000 to 100.000, preferably m the range 100.000 to 500.000.
- the biocompatible swellable material of the invention can be modified by adding crossl kers to the tial mixture of monomers, by this the swelling behaviour and drug release kinetics can be further modified
- Suitable crosslmkers are, but are not limited to: (1) tetraethyleneglycoldi- methacrylate; (n) , ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate ; (m) , ethyleneglycoldiacrylate .
- the resulting wires have a smooth uniform thin polymeric coating which contains the drug impregnated form.
- the wires can be coiled without the occurrence of cracking of the coating.
- the resulting coils show uncompromised lubricity and biocompatibility. Such coils have been tested with regard to controlled drug release in a series of experiments m vitro.
- Figure 1 shows a representative example of a coiled metallic wire with a hydrophilic coating which contains a pharmacologically active drug (heparin) ; (image obtained with scanning electron microscopy) .
- Figure 1 Scanning electron micrograph of a coiled metallic wire with a biocompatible hydrophilic polymeric coating in which a pharmacologically active agent is physically entrapped.
- Figure 2 Cumulative release curves of rhodamme from three different coils.
- Figure 3 Release of heparin from a metallic coil with a heparin charged hydrophilic polymeric coating.
- Rhodamme was chosen as the dye.
- Rhodamme s also soluble m ⁇ MP .
- the dye was added to the solution of the copolymer m ⁇ MP prior to the coating procedure m a ratio of 1:100 (wt rhodamme: wt . copolymer) .
- the coatings were applied to metallic wires, according to the method disclosed NL-A-1001746.
- the three wires differed merely with respect to the hydrophilicity of the coating (see Table 1) .
- the wires were coiled on a mandrill with a diameter of 2.0 mm.
- a total weight of 15.0 g (which corresponds to a length of 78.9 m) was immersed 750 mL of distilled water.
- the concentration of rhodamme, dissolved in the buffer, was determined spectrophotomet ⁇ cally as a function of time.
- Figure 2 shows the cumulative release curves measure for the three different coils with a rhodamme-containing coating. It is clear that the most hydrophilic coating (95/5) corresponds to the highest concentration of rhodamme m solution, as was expected a priori. The release kinetics are not significantly influenced by the coating; the rhodamme concentration profiles show a plateau which is reached approximately 2 hours after immersion. In all three cases it was noted visually that there was still rhodamme entrapped m the coating on the coils at this stage. Therefore, the release experiments were continued during several weeks, but the rhodamme concentration m the buffer, as well as the colour of the coils, remained essentially unchanged.
- the calculated amounts of released rhodamme are: 5.1 % for the 80/20 coating, 8.0 % for the 90/10 coating, and 13.3 % for the 95/5 coating.
- Example 2 Mass balances revealed that a relatively large fraction of the rhodamme remained entrapped m the coating.
- the calculated amounts of released rhodamme are: 5.1 % for the 80/20 coating, 8.0 % for the 90/10 coating, and 13.3 % for the 95/5 coating.
- Example 2 Example 2 .
- the first two layers consisted of poly (ethersulfone) as a primer coating, according to prior art (J.H.L. Hanssen, L.H. Koole, "Guidewire for medical applications.”, International Patent Nr. 1001746, November 27, 1995).
- the third and fourth layer i.e. the outermost layers were deposited from an emulsion consisting of: N-methylpyrrollidmone (200 milliliter), the copolymer 90/10 (vide supra) , water (20 milliliter) , and heparin (1.00 gram).
- This emulsion was stirred continuously m order to prevent precipitation of heparin due to phase separation.
- the resulting coated wires were coiled around a mandrill, and prototype guidewires were manufactured. It was observed that the coiling procedure did not lead to the formation of cracks of any other damaging of the polymeric coating. Further these guidewires exhibit a similar level of lubricity as compared to their counterparts which do not contain heparin m the outermost layer or layers .
- Pieces of the coil (approximately 20 grams m total) , were immersed m an aqueous buffer solution (phosphate buffered sahne, pH 7 4) (200 millilitre) which was maintained at 37 °C . Samples of 1 millilitre were withdrawn from the buffer solution at regular time points. The concentration of heparm m these samples was determined using well- established techniques. The results of these experiments are shown m Figure 3. It is clear that slow release of heparin occurs from the surface of the wire.
- the hydrophilic polymeric coating serves as a temporary depot for the heparin.
- the anticoagulant activity of the heparin after the release is not influenced as a result of the coating and re- dissolution. In this example, the heparm is released over ⁇ time period of approximately 2 hours. Initially, the heparm release is relatively fast. The release process gradually levels off and came to a stop around 2 hours after the immersion of the coils m the buffer solution.
- the kinetics of the release of the drug can be controlled via different strategies, such as: d) change of the hydrophilicity of the polymeric coating (a more hydrophobic coating will lead to slower swelling in an aqueous environment, and to a slower release of the impregnated drug) ; (n) increase or decrease of the amount of the drug which is immersed m the coating; (m) application of an additional hydrophilic coating not containing any pharmacologically active compounds as a controlled release coating. It is clear that each of these strategies have limitations, e.g. increasing the hydrophilicity of the coating may lead to detachment of the polymer coating from the wire.
- heparin or another anticoagulant agent it is important that such controlled release occurs exactly where the drug is needed, i.e., at the interface of the wire, coil, or tube (an artificial surface) and the blood stream.
- the data m Figure 3 imply that the local concentration of heparin m the vicinity of the artificial surface is sufficiently high to prevent coagulation.
- heparin- loaded coils, wires or tubes, according to this invention can be used in combination with reduced systemic hembosation of the patient. This, in turn, has the important advantage that the risk of bleeding complications is reduced. This is considered a very important beneficial effect of the present invention.
- a further application of this invention relates to the impregnation of an antibiotic agent in the hydrophilic polymeric coating on wires, coils or tubes.
- Such a product can be used to combat biomaterial-associated infections, or to reduce the risk of their occurrence.
- Important examples comprise, but are not limited to: d) , infections occurring during the use of indwelling catheters, and (n) , infections occurring after placement of a hip prosthesis or another orthopaedic prosthesis.
- gentamicm beads are used for the use of a mesh of a metallic wire with a gentamicm-charged hydrophilic polymeric coating.
- a construct can be made according to the invention such that: (1) , release of gentamicm or other antibiotics occurs over a predetermined time interval (e.g. two weeks), (11), the construct is slippery and easily removable from the wound without the generation of a new wound.
- Short wires, or coils according to this invention are used as temporary vehicles to achieve improved administration of drugs to the eye.
- a drug-charged coil is placed m the vicinity of the sclera in a parallel fashion, or inside the scleral tissue, but in such manner that no perforation of the sclera occurs. Then, release of the drug from the hydrophilic coating is realised, and diffusion of the drug into the eye occurs.
- the wire or coil can be removed after it is exhausted. The exhausted wire or coil is replaced with a new, charged wire or coil.
