Do Ophthalmic Solutions of Amphotericin B Solubilised in 2-Hydroxypropyl-γ-Cyclodextrins Possess an Extended Physicochemical Stability?

Résumé

Fungal keratitis is a sight-threatening disease for which amphotericin B eye drops is one of the front-line treatments. Unfortunately, there are currently no commercial forms available, and there is little data concerning the long-term stability of compounded formulations based on intravenous dosages forms. New formulations of amphotericin B ophthalmic solutions solubilised with γ-cyclodextrins have shown promising in-vitro results, but stability data is also lacking. The objective of this study was therefore to investigate the stability of a formulation of ready-to-use amphotericin B solubilised in 2-hydroxypropyl-γ-cyclodextrins (AB-HP-γ-CD), for 350 days. An amphotericin B deoxycholate (ABDC) formulation was used as a comparator. Analyses used were the following: visual inspection, turbidity, osmolality and pH measurements, amphotericin B quantification by a stability-indicating liquid chromatography method, breakdown product research, and sterility assay. AB-HP-γ-CD formulation showed signs of chemical instability (loss of amphotericin B) after 28 and 56 days at 25 °C and 5 °C. Adding an antioxidant (ascorbic acid) to the formulation did not improve stability. ABDC formulation showed signs of physical instability (increased turbidy and amphotericin B precipitation) after 28 days and 168 days at 25 °C and 5 °C. As such, AB-HP-γ-CD formulation does not provide long-term stability for ophthalmic amphotericin B solutions.
