Abstract
A mixture of an alginate and a polyacrylate in a ratio of from 15 : 1 to 1 : 2 is suitable for the preparation of depot drug forms.
Description
133919~
Mixture of alqinates and polyacrylates and its use The present invention relates to a mixture of alginates and polyacrylates and its use in the preparation 5 of depot drugs.
It is known that alginates can be used for the preparation of depot drugs (Pharm, Ind. 33 (1971), 296).
However, the use of alginates for this purpose often presents difficulties. For example, the formulations 10 frequently do not achieve sufficient hardness when tableted. Their abrasion is therefore very high, which presents problems during subsequent film coating.
Insufficient hardness leads to breaking during filling on filling machines. Furthermore, alginates readily absorb 15 water, which leads to swelling of the tablets or, in the case of film tablets, to cracking of the films, unless complete protection from moisture is ensured by complicated and expensive packaging.
Conventional alginate-based sustained-release 20 tablets show no plasma level having a pronounced plateau character, despite zero order in vitro release, and still show a pronounced and not always desirable plasma peak despite a substantial delay in the time of maximum plasma concentration compared with drug forms which release the 25 active compound rapidly.
It has now been found that these difficulties can be avoided if polyacrylates or polymethacrylates are mixed with alginates.
More particularly, the present invention as 30 broadly disclosed hereinafter relates to the use of a mixture of an alginate and a polymethacrylate or copolymer of acrylic and methacrylic acid in a ratio of from 15 :
1 to 1 : 2, preferably 9 : 1 to 2 : 1, for the preparation of depot drugs.
B
However, the invention as claimed is restricted to a tablet for sustained release of a drug selected from the group consisting of propafenone, barucainide, nesapidil, gallopamil and biperiden, said tablet being 5 composed of a blend of a unit dosage of said drug with a mixture of an alginate with a polyacrylate in a ratio of : 1 to 1 : 2, wherein said polyacrylate is the formula:
Rl R2 --CH2--f--CH2--1--fo fo ~13 (i~ 4 -- m 15 where R1 is C1-C4-alkyl, R2 is hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, R3 is hydrogen, C1-C4-alkyl or a radical -(CH2)n-NR5R6 or -(CH2) n~
N~R5R6R7 Cle, where n is from 1 to 4 and R5, R6 and R7 are each hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, R4 is hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl and m is from 500 to 1,500.
Particularly suitable alginates that can be used herein are propylene glycol alginates and alkali and alkaline earth metal alginates, in particular the sodium, potassium, ammonium and calcium alginates. These alginates are described for example, in the book by Roy L.
z5 Whistler, Industrial Gums, New York, 1973, in the subsection by McNeely and Pettitt on alginates. They are mainly used as gel formers or thickeners in food technology, in the printing, textile and paper industries and in welding electrodes.
30As aforesaid, particularly suitable polyacrylates are those of the formula:
I t R 2 --CH 2 - f - cH 2--f--CO CO
-- m where R1 is C1-C4-alkyl, RZ is hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, R3 is hydrogen, C1-C4-alkyl or a radical -(CH2)n-NR5R6 or -~CH2)n-N~R5R6R7 Cle, where n is from 1 to 4 and R5, R6 and R7 are each hydrogen or C1-C4-alkyl, R~ is hydrogen or 5 C1-C4-alkyl and m is from 500 to 1,500.
If the polyacrylate is used in the form of the ammonium salt (R3 = -(CH2)n-N~R5R6R7 Cl~), m is preferably from 7,000 to 11,000, in particular from 8,000 to 10,000.
In the other cases, m is preferably from 700 to 1,000.
Such methacrylates and copolymers are described in, for example, Houben-Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie, Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1961. Products which are commercially available under the trade mark EUDRAGIT~
are particularly suitable. The EUDRAGIT~ products include 15 different species respectively called EUDRAGIT~ E, L/S, RS, RL/RS, NED, LD in the advertising brochure of their manufacture, Rohm Pharma GmbH, Darmstadt.
In accordance with a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, use is made of the EUDRAGIT~
20 RS product.
The novel mixture of alginate and polyacrylate is particularly suitable for the preparation of oral depot forms (viz. tablets) of propafenone, barucainide, nesapidil, gallopamil and biperiden.
The use of this novel mixture has the following advantages:
1. The release of the active compound from the drug forms is substantially linear.

The novel mixture of alginate and polyacrylate is particularly suitable for the preparation of oral depot forms (viz. tablets) of propafenone, barucainide, nesapidil, gallopamil and biperiden.
The use of this novel mixture has the following advantages:
1. The release of the active compound from the drug forms is substantially linear.
2. The tablet cores are very hard and abrasion-resistant, so that they can be further processed without difficulties.
13391~9 3a 3.The hygroscopicity of the alginates is no longer disadvantageous during tablet preparation. The tablet-ing mixtures can be pressed directly without granula-tion, and the expensive and complicated wet granulationcan be avoided. Film tablets no longer require any special protection from moisture and no longer crack during open storage for a short time.

Film tablets no longer require any special protection from moisture and no longer crack during open storage for a short time.
4.After administration of the novel drug forms, the plasma level of active compound has a pronounced plateau character and a substantially flatter curve than after administration of drug forms which are only based on alginates.
The Examples which follow illustrate the invention.
Tablets having the following composition (in mg) were prepared in a conventional manner:
A B C D E F
Gallopamil.HCl 100 100 100 100 100 100 Na alginate 300 240 200 166 132 332 ~udragit E 32 92 132 166 200 0 Mg stearate 4 4 4 4 4 4 Cellulose powder31 31 31 31 31 31 For this purpose, gallopamil.HCl, Na alginate and ~udragit E are dry-blended in a mixer, moistened with an aqueous solution of PVP or PVP/PVA copolymers ~ ollidon 30, ~ollidon 25 or @kollidon VA 64) while stirring, forced through a sieve and dried in a fluidized-bed drier, passed again through a ~ieve and mixed with Mg stearate and cellulose powder. The mixtures were pressed to give tablets weighing 480 mg.
Barucainide was processed similarly.
The hardness of the tablets was determined using the ~harmatest hardness tester and their abrasion was measured with the~Pharmatest friabilator (400 revolutions in 13 minutes).
The following results were obtained:
Tablets A B C D E F
Hardness (N) 104 122 137 103 84 61 Abrasion (%) 0.1 0.1 0.1 1.0 1.0 3.8 Similar values were obtained when gallopamil was replaced with another active compound, eg. barucainide, or another ~Eudragit (eg. 6~udragit RS) was used instead - of ~Eudragit E.
If the mixtures A to F of Example 1 are pressed directly without granulation to give tablets, the result-ing tablets have a hardness of from 70 to 110 N. Mixture F, however, gives unusable tablets having a hardness of - only 10 N.
Tablets having the following composition (in mg) 20 were prepared similarly to Example 1:
G H

J R
Propafenone.HCl 600 600 Na alginate 253 253 @Eudragit RS 53 Cellulose 11 11 Mg stearate 3 3 The preparation was carried out by moist granu-lation of a mixture of propafenone and alginate (in case - J also with ~udragit) with an aqueous PVP solution and subsequent addition of cellulose and Mg stearate to the - 25 dried granules. The granules were converted into tablets -~ similarly to Example 1.
In case J, the tablets obtained had a hardness of 165 N and their friability was virtually impossible to measure. In case R, the tablets obtained were unusable and did not withstand subsequent film coating without giving a fairly large amount of fragments. The applica-tion of a rapidly dissolving film is absolutely essential for masking the extremely bitter flavor of propafenone.
The Examples which follow illustrate the invention.
Tablets having the following composition (in mg) were prepared in a conventional manner:

The mixtures were pressed to give tablets weighing 480 mg.
Barucainide was processed similarly.
The hardness of the tablets was determined using the ~harmatest hardness tester and their abrasion was measured with the~Pharmatest friabilator (400 revolutions in 13 minutes).
The following results were obtained:
Tablets A B C D E F
Hardness (N) 104 122 137 103 84 61 Abrasion (%) 0.1 0.1 0.1 1.0 1.0 3.8 Similar values were obtained when gallopamil was replaced with another active compound, eg. barucainide, or another ~Eudragit (eg. 6~udragit RS) was used instead - of ~Eudragit E.
If the mixtures A to F of Example 1 are pressed directly without granulation to give tablets, the result-ing tablets have a hardness of from 70 to 110 N. Mixture F, however, gives unusable tablets having a hardness of - only 10 N.
Tablets having the following composition (in mg) 20 were prepared similarly to Example 1:
