Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

A process for producing an effective anti-ulcer preparation in the form of a dry powder by spray-drying a colloidal solution comprising bismuth citrate, ammonia and a polyhydric alcohol.

Description

The invention relates to new pharmaceutical compositions and to a process for their preparation.
The new pharmaceutical compositions according to the invention are bismuth-containing anti-ulcer preparations in solid form.
Liquid compositions prepared from bismuth salts, such as bismuth citrate or bismuth subnitrate are known. Such liquid preparations have the disadvantage that they are less easy to store and to transport than solid compositions. They cannot easily be converted into an effective solid product, e.g. by -, simply heating and drying.
According to the invention an aqueous, colloidal solution comprising effective quantities of bismuth citrate~
, ammonia and a polyhydric alcohol is converted into a new i pharmaceutical composition in the form of a dry powder by spray-drying. The liquid starting material optionally contains pepsin, a colouring agent such as carminel an alkali metal (e.g. sodium , or potassium) hydroxide and a preservative, such as the mixture of soluble salts of esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, sold under the trade name Nipacombin A. The known liquid preparations j sometimes contain volatile liquids, such as ethanol and chloroform.
Such liquids may be present in the starting material for the -process of the invention in an amount not exceeding 15%, but they ~ have virtually no effect on the process or on the product 'i' obtained. Generally speaking, the commerically available liquid -preparations comprising bismuth citrate, ammonia and a polyhydric - alcohol, may be used to carry out the process of the invention.
It is not certain whether the bismuth citrate, ammonia and polyhydric alcohol are present as such in the liquid or whether they form a new molecule or ion. ` '~
The bismuth citrate may be used as such or it can be formed in situ, e.g. from citric acid and a bismuth salt with a - 1- ~, .;, ` ~04~S32 - `
physiologically acceptable anion. The li~uid is most stable at a pH approximately 9. When the pH is considerably lower or higher a precipitate is formed. Especially when the liquid has to be ; stored for some time before spray-drying, it is therefore ;~
recommended to use so much ammonia and alkali metal hydroxide that this pH is attained. The amount of ammonia should at least be sufficient to keep the bismuth in solution. Preferred polyhydric alcohols are disaccharides such as sucrose or maltose.
The fact that the liquid ammoniacal preparations are only stable within a limited pH-range and that the pH can become too low by loss of ammonia, constitutes another disadvantage of said preparations.
The dry powder according to the invention can be produced from the liquid in a conventional spray-drying unit. The `
liquid starting material suitabl~ contains between 11 and 16% of dissolved solids. The solution is preferably preheated at a temperature of 60 to 65 C. The heating time should be such that no undesired reaction takes place. For instance, when sucrose is ~ ~-used, the heating time should not exceed 20 minutes in order to prevent inversion. The solid product resulting from the process according to the invention is very hygroscopic. It is therefore recommended to remove the moisture from the spray-drying unit by preheating, for instance 30 to 60 minutes with an inlet air temperature of about 200 to 250 C and to carry out the drying with air of a low moisture content. During the drying process the inlet air temperature is preferably between 150 and ;
260 C, a temperature between 170 and 190 C being particularly preferred, and the outlet temperature between 50 and 110 C. It ; -will be understood that the liquid should be fed to the unit with ;~
such a speed that the evaporative capacity is sufficient to form a dry powder.
-` The solid products obtained by the described process
- 2 -' ', ' ` ~

are a feature of the invention. The powder can be administered orally as such or it may be dissolved in water to produce a palatable solution.
The invention also includes within its scope pharmaceutical compositions in dosage form for oral administration, such as capsules or tablets, containing the therapeutically active dry bismuth preparation as the active ingredient. The compositions may contain pharmaceutically-acceptable carriers.
The tablets may be formulated in the usual manner with one or more pharmaceutically-acceptable diluents or excipients, for example lactose or starch, and include materials of a lubricating nature, for example calcium stearate or magnesium stearate. Capsules made of absorbable materials, such as yelatin, may contain the active substance alone or in admixture with a .
solid or li~uid diluent.
The compositions according to the invention are ; therapeutically effective in the treatment of peptic ulcer, s including gastric, duodenal and post-operative ulcer and peptic l ulcer associated with hiatus hernia. Suitable daily dosages for ~ 20 adult humans correspond to 450 - 1000 mg of Bi2O3. The dosage . ~ . . .
for children will depend on their weight and age and may be calculated by methods commonly used in medical practice. The daily dose for children under lO years will correspond to 150 -400 mg of Bi2O3. The pharmaceutical compositions in dosage form therefore preferably have a bismuth content equivalent to 50 -250 mg of Bi2O3.
The following Example illustrates the process of the invention.
~i . .
Example I
1.500 liter of liquid is prepared from 180.360 kg of bismuth citrate 118.279 1 of ammonia 25%

3.000 kg of Nipacombin A 0.2%
8.700 1 of chloroform , 94.050 1 of ethanol and purified water to produce the desired volum~.
The solution obtained is diluted with water to a solid~
content of 12% and the diluted liquid is preheated at 60 - 65 C ~` ' for 15 minutes. A spray-drying unit with an evaporatlve capacity of 10 kgs/h is preheated for 30 minutes with an inlet-air ~'' . ~
temperature of 200 C. The liquid is subsequently fed to the ' ~,~ akomizer with a speed of 9 liters per hour, the inlet-air ;' .. . . .... .
temperature being mainta,ined at 180 C, and the dry powder formed is collected. ~ ,,, ' The following Example illustrates a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention.

The invention also includes within its scope the , preparation of an aqueous soiution from the dry powder. ~or instance, a solution suitable for oral administration may be ; obtained by dissolving 200 g of the powder prepared according to ~ ' Example I in water to a volume of 1 liter.
