Patent granted for pharmaceutical composition containing crystalline form d of sepiapterin
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11773097B2) discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising crystalline Form D of sepiapterin free base. This composition includes peaks at specific diffraction angles as measured by X-ray diffractometry. The crystalline Form D is present in the composition in an amount of at least 90 percent by weight and is formulated as particles less than 100 µm in size. The patent also claims methods of treating tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4)-related disorders, such as primary BH4 deficiency and phenylketonuria, by administering the pharmaceutical composition to a subject in need. The composition can be administered as a liquid suspension.
The patent further describes a method for decreasing phenylalanine levels in a subject by administering the pharmaceutical composition of crystalline Form D. This method can also be carried out using a liquid suspension. Additionally, the patent discloses a method of preparing a liquid formulation by dispersing the crystalline Form D in a liquid. The resulting formulation can be a suspension.
Overall, this patent provides a pharmaceutical composition and methods for treating BH4-related disorders and decreasing phenylalanine levels using crystalline Form D of sepiapterin free base. The composition is formulated as particles and can be administered as a liquid suspension. The patent also includes a method for preparing a liquid formulation containing the crystalline Form D. These innovations have the potential to improve the treatment options for individuals with BH4-related disorders and phenylketonuria.
