Description

SOLID, STABILIZED, PROMPT- AND/OR MODIFIED-RELEASE THERAPEUTICAL SYSTEMS FOR THE ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF LIQUID ACTIVE PRINCIPLES, EXCIPIENTS OR FOODSTUFFS
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of liquid active ingredients in solid pharmaceutical, dietetic or alimentary compositions and to the formulations obtainable by said process.
The process of the invention comprises adding the liquid active ingredient to a matrix and/or mixture of matrices characterised in that they are solid at room temperature and liquid at temperatures ranging from 30°C to 90°C. Said matrices provide both different release profiles for modulating the in vitro and in vivo characteristics of medicaments which have to be administered frequently during the day or which have to be released at specific sites of the gastrointestinal tract, as well as giving remarkable stability to the used starting materials, particularly when these are in the liquid form. Active principles, excipients or foodstuffs which are in the liquid form at room temperature can therefore be transformed into the solid form, alone or in combination with other products and/or drugs substances which are known to be poorly stable when formulated in the liquid form and/or that require to be associated in certain combinations.
Formulation of liquid active principles with lipophilic and/or amphipilic matrix systems and other excipients, traditionally used for attaining pharmaceutical formulations with good technological properties, allows to obtain particularly stable solid or semisolid forms, possibly with prompt- or modified- release profiles, adjusting the in vitro dissolution rate. Furthermore, amphiphilic and/or lipophilic systems provide the homogeneous distribution of active principles with different chemical-physical characteristics (lipophilic and hydrophilic medicaments) in the formulations. The resulting matrix is able to stabilize poorly stable products and to modulate constantly and homogeneously the release of the active ingredient, thus obtaining suitable release kinetics.
More particularly, the compositions of the present invention comprise active principles, excipients or foodstuffs belonging to the class of alimentary, dietetic and pharmaceutical oils, alone or in combination with other products.
Examples of ingredients of the compositions of the invention comprise Canola oil, maize oil, cottonseed oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, mineral oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, fish oil, omega 3 fatty acids; enzymes and/or coenzymes such as chymotrypsin, pancreatin, pancrelipase, bromelin, papain, pepsin, coenzyme Q10; carnitines such as L carnitine, acetyl carnitine, propionyl carnitine; liposoluble vitamins such as vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), vitamin D2-D3, vitamin A, vitamin K and various derivatives thereof; active cardiovascular pharmaceutical ingredients such as: Digossine, Methydigossine, Chinidine, Disopiramide, Mexiletine, Propafenone, Flecainide, Amiodarone, Ibopamine, Isosorbide dinitrate, Isosorbide mononitrate, Clonidine, Doxazosin, Urapidil, Cadralazine, Minoxidil, Ketanserine, Hydrochlorothiazide, Chlortalidon, Metolazone, Xipamide, Indapamide, Fenquizone, Furosemide, Bumetamide, Piretamide, Torasemide, Etacrinic acid, Etozoline, Spironolactone, Potassium canreonate, Canrenone, Xanthinol Nicotinate, Pentoxifilline, Nicergoline, Dihydroergocristine, Cyclandelate, Vincamine, Piribedil, Vinburnine, Buflomedil, Naftidrofuril, Pindolol, Propranolol, Timolol, Sotalol, Nadolol, Metoprolol, Atenolol, Acebutol, Betaxolol, Bisoprolol, Celiprolol, Nevibolol, Labetolol, Carvadilol, Amlodipine, Felodipine, Isradipine, Nicardipine, Nifedipine, Nimodipine, Nisoldipine, Nitrendipine, Lacidipine, Manidipine, Lercanidipine, Verapamil, Gallopamil, Diltiazem, Fendiline, Captopril, Enalapril, Lisinopril, Perindopril, Ramipril, Quinapril, Benazepril, Cilazapril, Fosinopril, Trantolapril, Spiropril, Delapril, Moexipril, Zofenopril, Imidapril, Losartan, Eprosartan, Valsartan, Irbesartan, Candesartan, Telmisartan, Simvastatin, Pravastatin, Lovastatin, Fluvastatin, Atorvastatin, Befibrate, Gemfibroxil, Fenofibrate, Colestiramine, Detastrane, Acipimox. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND
Stabilized solid or semisolid formulations from a liquid starting material to obtain forms with different releases can be prepared according to a number of known techniques:
1. Use of inert matrices, in which the main structural component is a material having high surface area, capable of carrying significant amounts of liquids, such as pyrogenic and/or colloidal silicas.
2. Use of hydrophilic matrices, in which the structural component affords a marked resistance to wetting and solubilization in biological fluids, as the system tends to form gels and to gradually swell in time. 3. Use of bioerodible and/or biodegradable matrices, in which the used polymers and materials gradually undergo metabolic and/or physiological degradation at certain biological sites.
All the above mentioned procedures suffer, however, from some drawbacks and disadvantages. Inert matrices require large amounts of material to obtain a solid product and usually provide non-linear but exponential release kinetics of the active ingredient.
Hydrophilic matrices have at first a linear dissolution profile then, after a certain part of the active ingredient has been released, they deviate from release linearity and often are not able to retain sufficient amounts of liquid active principles.
Bioerodible and/or biodegradable matrices require the ideal enzyme and/or biological environment for the constant release of the drug. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of solid or semisolid formulations starting from liquid active principles which after stabilization are released from the system with prompt- or modified- release, as well as to the formulations obtainable by this process.
This object has been attained according to the present invention, through the use of amphiphilic and/or lipophilic matrices characterized by melting at temperatures ranging from 30°C to 90°C and being solid at room temperature at least to 25°C. Active principles having pharmacological activity, excipients or foodstuffs in the liquid form can be added to, dissolved or suspended in said melted matrices, to afford solid or semisolid formulations.
Furthermore, amphiphilic and/or lipophilic matrices are suitably selected and formulated for solidifying, stabilizing or suspending appropriate amounts of liquid starting materials and for modulating their release from the system. Moreover, any fast onset phase of the amount of drug present at the surface can be balanced, all the release phases from the system can be homogeneously modulated, including the ability for the formulation to be homogeneously absorbed, without losing the effectiveness of the system. Upon melting the amphiphilic and/or lipophilic system, the active ingredient is solubilized or dispersed therein, either partially or completely. Cooling to temperatures below 30°C transforms again the system into a semisolid or solid form.
The pharmaceutical composition is suitably distributed in capsules or formulated with other excipients for the preparation of tablets; the active principles or foodstuffs present are highly stabilized and can be released in vitro/in vivo from the system according to a suitably programmed release profile, which depends on the interaction with the hydrophilic/lipophilic matrix.
Therefore, the invention relates to a process for the formulation of liquid active ingredients in solid pharmaceutical, dietetic or alimentary compositions, which process comprises adding said active ingredients to a melted mass consisting of amphiphilic compounds with melting or softening point ranging from 30 to 60°C and/or lipophilic compounds with melting point ranging from 40 to 90°C, optionally adding any powder excipients or active ingredients and formulating the final compositions.
The invention also relates to the formulations obtainable according to said process.
DETAILED DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION.
The process of the invention comprises the following steps: a) The amphiphilic/ lipophilic matrix excipients, which can be solid or semisolid, are melted at temperatures above 30°C/90°C, according to the case; or one or more semisolid amphiphilic/ lipophilic excipients are mixed, then melted to obtain a homogeneous solution or dispersion which becomes again semisolid or solid at room temperature. b) The liquid active ingredient, foodstuff or excipient is solubilized, dispersed or englobated in the matrix from step (a), to obtain a homogeneous solution or dispersion. c) The liquid system from step (b) can be directly distributed into hard- or soft- gelatin capsules, then left to cool to obtain a semisolid or solid system inside the capsules. d) The system from step (b) can be added with other solid active pharmaceutical ingredients or excipients with different functions for the preparation of capsules, tablets, granulates, microgranules, sachets, such as silica, cellulose, starches, sugars, polyvinyl pyrrolidones, methacrylates and common glidants, antiaggregants, lubricants such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid, talc.
Amphiphilic compounds for use in the present invention comprise macrogolglycerids consisting of mixtures of mono-, di- and triglycerids and mono- and di- fatty acid esters (gelucire 44/14; gelucire 50/13) mono and diesters, polyethylene glycols hydroxystearates (Solutol HS 15), saccharose monopalmitate (Sucro ester 15), cetostearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, non-ionic emulsifying waxes (cetomacrogols).
Lipophilic compounds for use according to the invention comprise mixtures of mono-, di- and triglycerids behenate (compritol "E" ATO) or glyceryl palmitostearate (precirol - biogapress vegetal BM 297 ATO), hydrogenated castor oil, stearic acid, carnauba wax, white wax, yellow wax
These substances can be mixed together, optionally in the presence of an active ingredient, excipient or liquid foodstuff, to obtain different melting or softening points. The active pharmaceutical ingredient can be englobated in the melted matrix up to a concentration ranging from 0.1% to 80%.
An alternative procedure for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation of the invention comprises granulating the amphiphilic and/or lipophilic matrix by addition of conventional excipients or adjuvants, such as silica, microcrystalline celluloses, starches, lubricants. The matrix is subsequently cooled to obtain a compact, easy-to-process granule or microgranule. An optional dry- or wet- granulation process can be carried out for preparing the final pharmaceutical formulation.
The capsules, microgranules and/or tablets can be subjected to conventional coating processes with gastro-soluble films or be gastro- protected with cellulose and methacrylic polymers.
The active principles which can be conveniently formulated according to the invention comprise: oily active principles such as canola oil, maize oil, cottonseed oil, ethyl oleate, isopropyl myristate, isopropyl palmitate, mineral oil, peanut oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, fish oil, omega fatty acids, in particular EPA and DHA; enzymes or co-enzymes such as chymotrypsin, pancreatin, pancrelipase, bromelin, papain, pepsin, coenzyme Q 10; caraitines such as L-carnitine, propionyl carnitine, acetyl carnitine;
