Description
~Yo 95~03791 2 1 6 8 3 6 4 PCT/GB94/01642 STABILIZED PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING BUPROPION
The present invention relates to ph~rm~relltical compositions comprising bupropion hydrochloride and a ph~rm~reutically acceptable stabiliser and methods of stabilising bupropion hydrochloride in a ph~rm~ce~ltical composition.
Bupropion hydrochloride is a known antidepless~lL sold in instant release tablet forrn under the brand narne WELLBUTRINR. (Also see U.S. Patents 3,819,706 and 3,885,046; 1993 Physicians Desk Reference and the Merck Index, Eleventh Edition,Entry No. 1488. Bupropion hydrochloride is also useful as an anticholesterol agent, in su~e3sil1g prolactin secretion, in plevel~ g filnctio~ p~;,."~nt and drow~hless seen upon ~lminictration of benzodiazepine, in the tre~tm~nt of minim~l brain dysfunction, tardive dyskin~ci~ il"pahed mental alertness upon ingestion of ethanol and psychosexual dysfunction. While the instant release tablets currently sold are quite suitable for the in~ic~t~l1 use, the method of m~nllf~ctllrin~ these is less than desirable based on cost as well as process co~-lhiorl~.
The object of the present invention is to prevent (inhibit) the ~egr~ tion of bupropion hydrochloride, using stabiliser ingredients, thus allowing the ~ lion of ph~rm~re~ltical compositions such as instant and s--~t~ine(l release tablets and c~psl-les which, from a cost of m~nllf~rtllre and processing standpoint, are much improved over those achievable in the past.
Thus the present invention provides a ph~rm~rel~tical composition in solid form comprising bupropion hydrochloride and a ph~ reutically acceptable stabiliser in an effective stabilising amount, in which the composition contains at least about 80% w/w of undegraded bupropion hydrochloride after storage for 6 weeks at about 40C and 75% relative hllmi-lity and in which an aqueous solution of the stabiliser in a concentration of about 6% w/w has a pH of about 0.9 to about 4, the stabiliser being selected from an organic acid, a carboxylic acid, an acid salt of an arnino acid and sodium metabisulphite.
Alternatively. the present invention also provides a pharrnaceutical composition in solid form comprising bupropion hydrochloride and a pharrnaceutically acceptable stabiliser in an effective stabilisin~ amount, in which the composition contains at least about 80%

and 27% relative hllmi~iity and in which an aqueous solution of the stabiliser in a concentration of about 6% w/w has a pH of about 0.9 to about 4 the stabiliser being selected from an organic acid, a carboxylic acid other than ascorbic acid and isoascorbic acid, an acid salt of an amino acid and sodium metabisulphite.
The plcf~ cd pH of the aqueous solution of the stabiliser is 0.9 to about 2 and most preferably 1.
Preferably the ph~rm~reutical composition according to the present invention con~ills at least about 90% w/w of undegraded bupropion hydrochloride after storage for 6weeks under the above conditions and more preferably 95% or even 98%. In an additional aspect, the amount of lln~çgr~ l bupropion hydrochloride is greater than 80% of its labelled strength, and more preferably greater than 90% percent of the labelled strength after one year of storage under the hllmi-1ity and tcl~l~eldlLIre conditions usually encountered in ph~ ies and me~licine cabinets i.e. room le~ ,.dLul~ and 35-60% hllrni~ y. Thus, when used in a ph~rm~re~ltic~l plc~dlionfor example, a tablet will still retain at least 80% of its potency and preferably at least 90% after one year of storage at room l~ pe.dLul~, (15-25C (59-77F)) at 35-60%hllmi~lity. For example if the tablet initially contains 100mg bupropion hydrochloride (labelled arnount) at time of ~.~p~ ;on, after one year storage at least 80mg oflm~legr~ bupropion hydrochloride will remain in the tablet.
The amount of the stabiliser which may be used with the present invention may vary but preferably is about 2.7% to 27%, most preferably about 5% to 16.2% based on the label strength of bupropion hydrochloride in the ph~ e~1tical formulation (composition) in solid form. For example if a forrnulation contains 100mg of bupropion hydrochloride it would preferably contain about 2.7 to 27g of stabiliser.
Stabilisers of use in this invention include organic acids, carboxylic acids, acid salts of amino acids and sodium metabisulphite. Preferably, the acid salts of amino acids are hydrochloride salts such as cysteine hydrochloride, glycine hydrochloride or cystine dihydrochloride. Other ylefell~,d examples of stabilisers according to the present invention include: ascorbic acid, malic acid, isoascorbic acid, citric acid and tartaric ~VO 95/03791 21 h ~3 ~ 4 PCT/GB94/01642 acid. L-cysteine hydrochloride and glycine hydrochloride are the most l~rcr~ d stabilisers.
In the examples the cysteine hydrochloride is in the L form and NF and USP are n~tinrls for standards published in the National Formulary and US Ph~ copeia, ~e;~ecli~rely~
The present invention extends to the use of combinations of stabilisers especially combinations of the aforementioned stabilisers The pH of the aqueous solution of the stabilisers may be ~ l ,i..ed as follows:
The stabiliser is weighed out to provide 3.75 grarns thereof, (except for 3.34 grams of L-cystine dihydrochloride) and is then added to 60 grams of distilled water in a glass PyrexR beaker. The resnltinp: llli~Lule is stirred for approximately 5 minl~tss~ using a stir plate and m~gn~tic stir bar. The resulting solution or dispersion is e~rnine~l using either a Orion Model 701A IonalyzerR, or an Accumet pH Meter Model 915. Solutions are stirred with a m~gnPtic stir bar during analysis. Me&~Luclllents of pH are ~clr~ Led in triplicate and the average thereof is used.
Examples of forms of ~rc~,lcd solid ph~rm~rel~tical composition include a tablet or capsule. Such forms are ~paled using standard procedures known in the art which involve admixing bu~o~l;on hydrochloride and the stabiliser with the tablet or capsule excipients. Such excipients may include, for example, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate and/or corn starch, talc, m~gn~Cium stearate and colloidal silicon dioxide. Caplets are tablets generally shaped in the form of capsules. C~ps~1es of this invention are generally plcp~d by mixing the stabiliser with bupropion hydrochloride and other excipients and placing same in, e.g., a two-part hard gelatin capsule.
Preferably the veight of the inactive ingredients is greater than about I 1/~ times that of bupropion hydrochloride but less than about 4 times that of bupropion hydrochloride.
The tablets or capsules of this invention generall~ contain 25mg to 500mg of bupropion hvdrochloride and usually contain 50mg, 75mg, 1 00mg or 1 50mg of bupropion hvdrochloride. The arnount of bupropion hydrochloride in solid forrn pharrn~e~tical WO 95/03791 2 1 6 8 3 6 4 PCT/GB94/01642~
