Description

~0~7 I
PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION AND PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE
SAME

The present invention relates to a homogenizate comprising piroxicam as active ingredient, to a process for preparing the same and a process for the preparation of capsule or tablet from the said homogenizate.
More particularly, the invention relates to a powder homogenizate comprising N-(2-piridyl)-2-methyl-4-hydroxy--2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide (further on piroxicam) as active ingredient together with carriers, further to capsules or tablets prepared from the said homogenizate.
Piroxicam has been described first by US patent specification No. 3,591,584, the examples of which suggest the following compounds to incorporate into tablets or capsules:
tablets: piroxicam, sodium citrate, alginic acid, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, magnesium stearate;
capsules: piroxicam, calcium carbonate, polyethylene glycol.
The said patent specification does not disclose any specific data, e.g. breaking rigidity, resistance to abrasion, fluidity, disintegration time, mass density, active ingredient dissolution, being characteristic for - 2 ~ 7 the tablets or the capsules.
European patent specification No. 66,459 relates to the preparation of piroxicam ethylenediamine and mono-or diethanaolamine salts having enhanced dissolving ability. The examples of this reference describe the following compositions of tablets and capsules, but the qualitative properties and dissolution curves are not taught:

Tablet:
piroxicam ethylenediamine salt 5.88 mg corn starch USP 34.00 mg magnesium stearate 1.04 mg Tablets with 10, 25 and 50 mg active ingredient content can be prepared similarly, taking the proportional amounts of the ingredients.

Capsule:
piroxicam monoethanolamine salt 59.21 mg anhydrous dicalcium phosphate 230.10 mg corn starch 32.50 mg sodium lauryl sulfate 0.32 mg magnesium stearate 2.07 mg _ - 3 - ~ ~0~3 Tablet:
piroxicam monoethanolamine salt 23.92 mg microcrystalline cellulose 311.03 mg modified, pregelatinized starch 84.00 mg 5 magnesium stearate , 0.945 mg sodium lauryl sulfate 0.105 mg Tablet:
piroxicam monoethanolamine salt 23.69 mg anhydrous dicalcium phosphate 113.37 mg polyvinyl pyrrolidone 50.00 mg modified, pregelatinized starch 10.0 mg magnesium stearate 2.65 mg sodium lauryl sulfate 0.294 mg When a pharmaceutical composition comprising piroxicam as active ingredient is prepared, the following problems arise:
a) Piroxicam is poorly soluble in aqueous medium, therefore in order to eliminate this disadvantage European patent specification No. 66,459 suggests the use of a salt of piroxicam.
b) In the course of a wet granulation process the composition gets coloured due to the effect of the aqueous or hydroxyl-group-containing granulating liquid, thus the composition does not meet the international standard.
c) The adsorption of the active ingredient from the pharmaceutical formulation is a very important characteristic, which can be measured by expensive biological tests; thus - 4 - ~ 3 it is preferred if the different dosage forms have the same composition.
d) When the composition is formulated by wet granulation technique, the homogeneous distribution of the ingredients is assured, while when dry homogenization is applied, in case of non-properly selected excipients, especially in the course of tabletting, sorting owing to the gravitational filling uneven distribution of the active agent may occur which may result in non-admitted scatter-ing of the active ingredient.

The aim of the invention was to prepare a homogenizate 1) which is suitable for preparing tablets and capsules of the same composition, - 2) in which, independently from the crystal form of the 15active ingredient, the dissolution values and qualitative parameters of the capsule and tablet are suitable, 3) in which the scattering of the active ingredient content is in accordance with the standards, 4) which can be in dry medium.
20No composition meeting the above requirements can be found in the prior art.
In the course of our experiments it was found that with the composition comprising piroxicam as active ingredient according to USP XXI the desired in vitro dis-solution level could not be achieved. This dissolutionrate would be obtained if at least 75% by mass of the active ingredient content were dissolved out from the composition within 45 minutes.

_ 5 - ~ ~ ~1673 According to our measurements, from the standard composition comprising piroxicam as active ingredient 42 to 45% by mass of the active ingredient content were dissolved out within 45 minutes at a temperature of 37 C, at a stirring rate of 50 revolution/minute, by using artificial gastric juice under the prescriptions of USP XXI
in a rotating dissolving equipment.
The scattering of the active ingredient content in pharmaceutical formulations comprising piroxicam as active ingredient may be RSD = 6.0% according to USP XXI.
Now it has been found that if piroxicam crystals are micronized below a particle size of 30 /um, preferably below 10 /um, and if possibly mannitol and silica are added, the composition comprising the micronized piroxicam crystals assures the desired dissolution values and these values can safely be maintained.
Based on the above, the homogenizate according to the invention is composed of 1 part by weight of N-(2-piridyl)-2-methyl-4-hydroxy-2H--1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide as active ingredient which at least in 90% by mass has a particle size of at most 30 /um, preferably 10 /um, if desired, 0.1 to 5.0 parts by mass, preferably 1 part by mass, of mannitol optionally of the same particle size, if desired, 0.005 to 0.15 parts by mass, preferably 0.06 to 0.1 parts by mass, of silica optionally of the same particle size, - 6 - ~ai 673 5 to 25 parts by mass, preferably 8 to 18 parts by mass, of spray-dried lactose which at least in 80% by mass has a particle size of 80 to 200 /um, if desired, 0.5 to 6.0 parts by mass, preferably 1.5 to 4.0 parts by mass, of a disintegrant, preferably corn starch, if desired, 0.005 to 0.05 parts by mass, preferably 0.01 to 0.02 parts by mass,of a surface active agent, preferably sodium lauryl sulfate, and if desired, 0.05 to 0.5 parts by mass, preferably 0.1 to 0.2 parts by mass,of a lubricant, preferably magnesium stearate.
The lactose has preferably a surface pore size of 10 to 20 /um.
The homogenizate according to the invention is prepared by micronizing 1 part by mass of N-(2-piridyl)-2-methyl-4-hydroxy-2H-1,2-benzothiazine-3-carboxamide-1,1-dioxide as active ingredient with or without 0.1 to 5.0 parts by mass, preferably 1 part by mass of mannitol and 0.005 to 0.15 parts by mass, preferably 0.06 to 0.1 parts by mass, of silica in such a manner that at least 90% by mass of the mixture have a particle size of at most 30 /um, preferably at most 10 /um, or if mannitol and silica have not been micronized together with the active ingredient, if desired, adding mannitol and/or silica in the above amounts to the mixture after micronization, then homogenizing the mixture thus obtained with - 7 - 20~ 3 the partial or complete mixture of 5 to 25 parts by mass, preferably 8 to 18 parts by mass of spray-dried lactose which at least in 80% by mass has a particle size of 80 to 200 /um, a disintegrant such as corn starch in an amount of 0.5 to 6.0 parts by mass, preferably 1.5 to 4.0 parts by mass, a surface active agent such as sodium lauryl sulfate in an amount of 0.005 to 0.05 parts by mass, prefer-ably 0.01 to 0.02 parts by mass, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5 parts by mass, preferably 0.1 to 0.2 parts by mass, and if desired, filling the thus-obtained homogenizate into capsules or pressing it into tablets.
The composition according to the invention has anti-rheumatic and antiinflammatory activity.
The piroxicam capsules according to the invention show the following dissolution data:

Dissolution of the active ingredient 5 minutes 15 minutes 45 minutes 69% 86% 92%

The suitably low scattering of the active ingredient content of the tablet or capsule and the high and safe dilution of the homogenizate could be achieved by mixing the piroxicam with spray-dried lactose of a surface pore size of 10 to 20 /um which at least in 80% by weight has a particle size of 80 to 200 /um. Thus a so-called "arranged"

mixture could be achieved, in which the micronized piroxicam particles are adhered into the pores of the lactose, while the preferable flowing characteristics of lactose are maintained, enabling the easy preparation of the homogenizate and the easy formulation of tablets or capsules from the homogenizate.
The scattering of the active ingredient content in the capsules is about RS0 = 2.0%, while in the tablets is about RSD = 2.5%.
The invention is further illustrated by the follow-ing, non-limiting examples.
