Description
WO 2005/048992 PCT/EP2004/012437 Process for preparing clopidogrel compositions This invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising clopidogrel and to processes for preparing such compositions. Clopidogrel is a known anti-thrombotic agent which inhibits platelet aggregation. See Merck Index, 126 Edition, entry 2457. Clopidogrel is administered currently in the form of the biphosphate salt as a film-coated tablet. Some clopidogrel salts are known to exhibit difficulties in formulation. The present applicants have found that clopidogrel in base or salt form, e.g. as mesylate or hydrochloride, is problematic to formulate for example as a tablet, and attribute this principally to hygroscopicity. Furthermore, the applicants have found that clopidogrel tablets suffer from degradation on storage. The present applicants have sought to overcome the problems of hitherto known clopidogrel compositions. In one aspect, therefore, this invention provides a composition suitable for oral administration comprising clopidogrel in base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form which composition comprises a polymer coating. The polymer coating may comprise a polyvinyl acetate or a polyvinyl alcohol. In this and other aspects of the invention described below, when in salt form clopidogrel may be selected from mesylate, hydroiodide, hydrobromide and hydrochloride. In another aspect this invention provides a composition suitable for oral administration comprising clopidogrel in base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form which composition comprises a hydrophobic component. Suitable hydrophobic components include hydrogenated vegetable oils. The hydrophobic component-containing compositions of this invention may comprise a polymer coating, e.g. a polyvinyl acetate or a polyvinyl alcohol. In a preferred aspect, the hydrophobic component, when present, is not coated. In another aspect, this invention provides clopidogrel in form of coated particles, granules or agglomerates. In a further aspect, this invention provides a composition suitable for oral administration comprising clopidogrel in base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form wherein the clopidogrel is in the form of coated particles, granules or agglomerates. 1 WO 2005/048992 PCT/EP2004/012437 In a preferred aspect, this invention provides a composition suitable for oral administration comprising clopidogrel in pharmaceutically acceptable salt form which composition comprises - a polymer coating selected from a polyvinyl acetate or a polyvinyl alcohol, and - a hydrophobic component comprising a hydrogenated vegetable oil, wherein the salt is selected from mesylate, hydrobromide, hydroiodide and hydrochloride, and wherein the clopidogrel is in the form of coated particles, granules or agglomerates. The particle-, granule- or agglomerate-coating may comprise a hydrophobic polymer, e.g. a polyvinyl acetate or a polyvinyl alcohol, a hydrogenated vegetable oil or a cyclodextrin. Preferred polymer coatings employed in the compositions of this invention are selected from celluose acetate, polymethacrylates for example Eudragit E or Eudragit NE 30 D, and ethylcellulose. Suitable vegetable oils include hydrogenated cottonseed oil e.g. those available commercially as Lubritab or Sterotex; hydrogenated palm oil, e.g. available as Softisan 154 or Dynasan P60; hydrogenated soyabean oil such as that available as Sterotex HM. The hydrophobic component may be selected from cetyl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, cholesterol, gyceryl monostearate, glyceryl monooleate, glyceryl palmitostearate and stearic acid. The cyclodextrin may comprise an alpha-, beta- or gamma-cyclodextrin. The compositions of this invention herein described may be administered in form of a tablet, sachet, or hard or soft gelatine capsule. Coated tablets are preferred. In the compositions of the invention, the clopidogrel may be present in an amount of up to 50% by weight, for example 10 to 45%, e.g. 20 to 40%, e.g. 25 to 35% by weight, based on the total weight of the composition. Thus components of the compositions of this invention may include: - a sugar, e.g. a lactose, in an amount when present of up to 60% by weight, for example 20 to 50%, e.g. 25 to 40% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Lactose DCL 11 is a suitable grade in the compositions of this invention; - a microcrystalline cellulose in an amount when present of up to 40% by weight, for example 5 to 35%, e.g. 8 to 25%, e.g. 10 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Avicel PH 112 is an appropriate grade for use in the compositions of this invention; - a starch in an amount when present of up to 40% by weight, for example 5 to 35%, e.g. 8 to 20%, e.g. 10 to 17% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Starch 1500 LM is an appropriate grade for use in the compositions of this invention; 2 WO 2005/048992 PCT/EP2004/012437 - a dessicant for example milled anhydrous silica, available commercially under the trade mark Syloid AL; this component when present may be in an amount of up to 8% by weight of the composition, e.g. 0.5 to 6%, e.g. 1 to 4% by weight; - the hydrogenated vegetable oil when present in an amount of up to about 15% by weight, e.g. 1 to 10%, e.g. 2 to 7% by weight, based on the weight of the composition. Such oils are commercially available for example under the trade mark Sterotex; - the polymer coating, when present, in an amount of up to about 10 % by weight, e.g. 2 to 8%, e.g. 4 to 6 % by weight, based on the weight of the composition. Such coatings are available commercially for example under the trade mark Opadry AMB; - a filler in an amount when present of up to 80% by weight, for example 5 to 75%, e.g. 10 to 65%, e.g. 15 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. Mannitol and xylitol are examples of suitable fillers in compositions of this invention. Other components may include titanium dioxide, a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a hydroxyl propylcellulose and a propylene glycol. The compositions of this invention are more straightforward to formulate than hitherto known compositions. The applicants have found that processability of the components in forming, e.g. tablets, is easier than for known processes for making solid clopidogrel compositions. The compositions of this invention are storage-stable. Thus no or negligible degradation is observed on storage at ambient conditions over periods of days, weeks and months. The clopidogrel employed in the compositions and processes of this invention may be in racemate form, in form of a partially- or wholly-enriched diastereomer. Thus the clopidogrel may be in form of a pure or substantially pure diastereomer, e.g. > 90% e.g. 93%, 94%, 95% or > 95%, e.g. 96%, 97% or greater diastereomer as determined using known methods. In another aspect, this invention provides a process for preparing tablets comprising clopidogrel in base or pharmaceutically acceptable salt form which process comprises a) compacting the clopidrogrel with anhydrous or substantially anhydrous components so as to form aggregates, b) breaking down the aggregates so as to form granules or particles, c) optionally mixing the granules or particles with at least one further component, and d) compacting or compressing the granules or particles thus formed into tablets. Compaction may be carried out for example using a roller compactor. The present applicants understand roller compaction to be a form of high-pressure agglomeration. Thus a roller press exerts a mechanical pressure on a powder or other dry bulk material while forced between, for example, two or more counter-rotating rollers. The conditions within the roller compactor are typically such that the material is compressed into compacts which are subsequently passed through a mill to produce granules. 3 WO 2005/048992 PCT/EP2004/012437 The applicants have found that a Fitzpatrick Chilsonator compactor is a suitable commercially available compactor for roller compaction. Thus the roller speed may be between 1 and 10 rpm, e.g. 2 to 8 such as 3, 4 or 5 r.p.m. Roller pressures applied to the material may be between 300 and 800 pounds per square inch (psi), e.g. 350 (24.60 kg/cm 2 ) to 700 (49.21 kg/cm 2 ), such as 500 (35.13 kg/cm 2 ), 550 or 600 psi. The desiccant, e.g. anhydrous silica, may be mixed with the aggregates or granules. This improves stability and flow of the processed mixture. A hydrophobic lubricant, e.g. hydrogenated vegetable oil, may be added. This provides improved stability over that observed using conventional lubricants. The process may be carried out in a low- or ultra-low humidity environment. The applicants have found that the compacted blend resulting from process step a) may be milled to granules or particles by screening through a comminuting mill, for example an oscillating granulator, quadrocomill or hammer mill. Thus step b) serves to break the aggregates down in size. In a preferred aspect, process step b) may be carried out so as to form granules with a small or negligible proportion of particles. Thus the output from step b) may amount to 80% or more granules by weight in a granule/particle mixture, e.g. 85%, 90%, 95% or greater e.g. 98%, 99% or 100% granules. In a further aspect this invention provides a process for preparing coated clopidogrel particles or granules which process comprises preparing a solution of clopidogrel and the polymer, hydrogenated vegetable oil, or cyclodextrin, in a suitable solvent medium and spray-drying the solution. The solvent medium may comprise an aqueous or organic solvent or mixture of organic solvents. When an aqueous medium is employed, this may containing up to 100% by weight water, e.g. 5 to 80%, e.g. 10 to 60% by weight. The thus coated or encapsulated particles or granules may be further processed, for example into tablets using compaction or compression. Coating of the clopidogrel particles may be achieved using a fluidised bed, e.g. a Wurster, or by water-in-oil or oil-in-water phase separation or coacervation encapsulation methods. In a further aspect, therefore, coating of the clopidogrel granules or particles may be carried out after process step b) or step c) if present and before step d). Without being bound to a particular theoretical mechanism of action, the applicants believe that the hydrophobic polymer may establish an effective moisture barrier around the particles or tablets. Typical dimensions observed using known methods of particles used in this invention range from 50 microns to 150 microns. 75% of the granules of this invention may be in 4 WO 2005/048992 PCT/EP2004/012437 the size range 100 microns to 500 microns, and 75% of the agglomerates of this invention may be in the size range 500 microns to 2000 microns. A preferred aspect of the invention is a clopidogrel composition as herein described in form of a coated particle, granule, agglomerate or tablet, wherein the coating is free of or substantially free of HPMC. Clopidogrel may be administered at a dose of 10mg, 25mg, 50mg, 60 mg, 75mg or 1 00mg drug substance based on clopidogrel base, depending on the patient's body weight and other circumstances. This dose may be daily. When administered in tablet form, the tablet weight may be for example 50 mg, 100mg, 150 mg, 200 mg or 300 mg in total. Clopidogrel base, mesylate and hydroiodide are sourced from the Torrent company. Clopidogrel hydrochloride may be prepared by processes analogous to those disclosed in published patent applications EP 0 281 459 and WO 98/51682. Clopidogrel hydrobromide may be prepared by passing HBr gas through an organic solution of clopidogrel base, e.g. in toluene, at ambient temperature. Clopidogrel hydrobromide salt precipitates and may be filtered and washed, e.g. with an organic solvent such as toluene. The wet cake of the salt may be dried under vacuum at elevated temperature, for example 50 to 80*C, e.g. 70 to 75*C, to provide clopidogrel HBr as an off-white solid. In another aspect, this invention provides a composition or process substantially as herein described with reference to the examples. In a further aspect, this invention provides compositions produced using the processes of this invention. The compositions, e.g. tablets, produced by the processes of this invention may be free of or substantially free of HPMC. Following is a description by way of example only of compositions and processes of this invention.
