Abstract of the Disclosure The pharmaceutical composition of the invention, which comprises a benzimidazole compound of the formula

Description

~ i:
~327~10 Thls inventlon relates to a pharmaceutlcal composltion whlch comprlses 2-[(~-pyrldyl)methylsulphlnyl]benzlmldazole or a derlvatlve thereof (herelnafter sometlmes referred to collectlvely as "benzlmldazole compounds"~, which is useful as an antlulcer agent, as stabillzed by lncorporatlon of a basic lnorganlc magnes-lum and/or calcium compound and its production.
Certaln benzlmldazole compounds are recently under clinlcal study as gastrlc acld secretion inhibltors. They serve as therapeutic agents for dlgestive ulcer. Their principal pharmacological effect consists in gastric acid secretion suppres-sion based on (H+ + K+)-ATPase inhibition and is more potent and durable as compared wlth histamlne H2 receptor antagonlsts such as cimetidine and ranitidine. They also have gastric mucosa protect-ing actlvity. Therefore, they have attracted attention as next-generatlon potent therapeutlc agents for digestlve ulcer.

Those benzimidazole compounds which are described in Japanese Unexamine~ Patent laid open Nos. 62275/77, i41783/79, 53406/82, 135881/83, 192880/83 and 181277/84, corresponding to U.S. Patent No~ 4,045,563, U.S. Patent No.
4,255,431, European Patent Publication No. 45,200, U.S. Patent No No. 4,472,409, European Patent Publication No. 5,129 and G.B. Patent Publication No. 2,134,523A, respectively, among others are known to have antiulcer activity.
These compounds, however, are poor in stability. In solid state, they are susceptible to heat, moisture and light and, in aqueous solution or suspension, their stabil-ity decreases with decreasing pH. In dosage forms, i.e.
tablets, powders, fine granules, granules and capsules, said compounds are apt to interact with other components contained in said dosage forms and accordingly are in less stable state as ~ompared with the case where they occur alone. Thus, the content decreases and the color changes significantly in the manufacturing process of dosage form and with the lapse of time. Microcrystalline cellulose, ~: 20 polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), carboxymethylcellulose calcium, : :

~ 3 ~ ~ 3~7~1~

polyethylene gl~col 6000 and Pluronic F68 (polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer), for instance are dosage form components adversely affecting the stability of said com-pounds. Furthermore, in the case of coated tablets and coated granules among the above dosage forms, enteric coat-ing bases such as cellulose acetate phthalate, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose acetate succinate and Eudragit (meth-acrylic acid-acrylic acid copolymer) have poor compatibility with said compounds and cause content decrease and color change. Nevertheless, one or more of these components or ingredients, which, as mentioned above, can produce adverse : effects on the stability of said compounds, are essential in the manufacture of oral preparations and therefore dif-ficulties are inevitably encountered in dosage form manu-facture.
The prior art avoids the above-mentioned stability : problem by using said benzimidazole compounds in a salt : form, say in the form of a lithium~ sodium, potassium, ~: magnesium, calcium or titanium salt [Japanese Unexamined Patent laid open No. 167587/84 IEuropean Patent Publication : No. 1~4,495A)]
However, the above prior art method requires, for the stabilization of the benæimidazole compounds, a step of : converting said compounds to such a salt foxm as mentioned above in advance.

In view of the above, the present inventors made in-_ 4 _ ~ 3,~7 ~ ~ ~

vestigations in anattempt to stabilize pharmaceutical prep-arations containing benzimidazole compounds and, as a re-sult, have completed the present invention.
Thus, this invention relates to S (1) ~ pharmaceutical composition which comprises 2-[(2-pyridyl)methyl5ulfinyl]benzimidazole or a derivative thereof, which has an antiuloer activity, and a basic inorganic magnesium and/or calcium compound, and (2) A method of producing a stabilized pharmaceutical com-position which comprises incorporating a basic inorganic magnesium and/or calcium compound into : a pharmaceutical composition containing 2-[(2-pyridyl-methylsulfinyl3benzimidazole or a derivative thereof, which has an antiulcer activity.
The benzimidazole compounds having an antiulcer activity which are to be used in the practice of the invention are those compounds which are described in the above-cited laid-open patent specifications, for instance and are rep-.: 29 resented by the formula ;

The above-mentioned novel benzimidazole compounds have excellent gastric antisecretory activity, gastric mucosa-protecting activity and antiulcer activity but have low toxicity, so that they can be used in the treat-ment of digestive ulcers in mammals (e.g. mouse, rat, rabbit, dog, cat, human~
The basic inorganic magnesium or calcium compounds, which are to be used in accordance with the inven-tion, are now described.
Said basic inorganic magnesium compounds include, among others,~m`agnesium ~eYh~3fe~ carbonate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium metasil-icate aluminate, magnesium silicate aluminate, magnesium silicate, magnesium aluminate, synthetic hydrotalcite ~Mg6A12(OH)16 CO34H2O] and aluminum magnesium hydroxide [2.5MgO A12O3-xH2O~ and said basic inorganic calcium compounds include among others,(precipitated~calcium sarbonate and calcium hydroxide. It is only required of such basic inorganic magnesium and calcium salts to show basicity (p~ of not less than 7) when they are in the form of a 1%
aqueous solution or suspension.
Said basic inorganic magnesium and calcium compounds may be used either singly or in combination of two or more species in an amount which may vary depending on the kinds r-~

thereof but generally lies within the range of about 0.3-20 parts by weight, preferably about 0.6-7 parts by weight, per part by weight of the benzimidazole compounds.
The composition of the invention may fur-ther contain such additives as vehicles (e.g. lactose, corn starch, light silicic anhydride, microcrystalline cel-lulose, sucrose), binders (e.g. a-form starch, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxy-propylmethylcellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone~, disinte-grating agents (e.g. carboxymethylcellulose calcium,starch, low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose), surfactants [e.~. Tween*80 (Kao-Atlas), Pluronic*F68 (Asahi Denka; polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene copolymer], antioxidants le.g. L-cysteine, sodium sulfite, sodium ascorbate), lubricants (e.g. magnesium stearate, talc), - etc.
The composition of the invention is pre~
pared by homogeneously admixing the above benzimidazole compound, the basic inorganic magnesium ~nd~or calcium compound, and the above additives.
The particle sizes of said benzimidazole compound and said inorganic compound are not especially critical in a condition that they can be homogeneously admixed. For example, preferable perticle size is about less than 100 ~m, more pre~erable one is about less than 20 ~m.
The moisture amount in the composition is preferably aboùt 6 - 60~, more preferably about 20 - 40 as equibrium relative humidity ~E.R.H) * Trade Mark ~1 ~3%7~1 ~

The method of admixlng is not critical as far as the benzi-midazole compound can finally be made in even contact with the basic inorganic magnesium and~or calcium compound. Thus,for example, the additives may be admixed with a mixture of the henzimidazole compound and the basic inorganic magnesium and/or calcium compound as prepared by preliminary admixing, or the basic inorganic magnesium and/or of calcium com~ound may be added to a mixture of the benzimidazole -compound and the additives as prepared by preliminary admixing- ' Said mixture can be made up into dosage forms suited for oral administration, such as tablets, capsules, pow-ders, granules and fine granules, by pe~ se known means.
Tab~ets, granules and fine granules may be coated by a per se known method for the purpose of masking of the taste or providing them with enteric or sustained release property. Usable as coating agents are, for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, hydroxy-methylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, polyoxyethylene P/L~f on ~ C
B~ 20 glycol, Tween 80, ~X~}rK~ F68, cellulose acetate phthal-ate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, hydroxymethyl-cellulose acetate succinate, Eudragit*(Rohm, West Germany;
