Abstract

Medicament-containing effervescent preparations are particularly stable on storage when they contain fusible sugar, sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute.

Description

LeA32842-FC

' -1- Al Effervescent preparations The invention relates to a process for producing medicament-containing effervescent preparations with at least partial melting of a preparation component and to effervescent preparations obtainable by this process.

Effervescent preparations such as, for example, effervescent powders or effervescent tablets are a formulation form, for example for active substances with a long absorption time or with a tendency to irritate the gastric mucosa, which is able to mitigate the disadvantageous properties meritioned for the active substances.
Medicament-containing effervescent preparations therefore enjoy increasing popularity. They are normally produced in 3 to 4 stages, namely by a) granulating the effervescent composition consisting of COZ donor and C02-releasing acidic component, b) mixing the other components (active substances and other ancillary substances), c) combining the components obtained frorn process steps a) and b) and, where appropriate, d) tabletting the mixture obtained in step c).

Since both the CO2 donor and the acidic component are relatively unsuitable for direct tabletting, the components of the effervescent composition have in the past been subjected, where appropriate in combination with the active substance, to a granulation process before the tabletting; compare, for example, German Offenlegungsschrift 22 16 072. The stability of the effervescent tablets produced in this way is, however, still unsatisfactory. The additional use of buffer substances and flavourings (which, after all, usually consist of many individual different compounds) in particular results in a sensitivity to water which leads, on storage, to discoloration, distension and degradation reactions. To avoid these unwanted reactions, effervescent preparations are often sealed in metal foils. Although this measure extends the shelf life, it is not possible reliably to prevent distension of the metal foil sachets on prolonged storage.

It has now been found, surprisingly, that the stability of medicament-containing effervescent preparations can be increased by a process in which a preparation component is melted.

LeA32842
-2-The invention thus relates to a process fo:r producing medicament-containing effervescent preparations consisting of A. effervescent composition containing (i) CO2 donor and (ii) acidic component, B. pharmaceutical active substance and C. ancillary substance, characterized in that at least one of the two components A(i), A(ii) and, where appropriate, other effervescent preparation components are dispersed in molten C) sugar and/or sugar alcohol andlor sugar substitute, and the resulting mixture is tabletted where appropriate.

The invention entails dispersing where appropriate one, a plurality or all of the remaining effervescent preparation components in the melt.

A preferred process is characterized in that - a melt of component A(i) and/or A(ii) and C) fusible sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute is comminuted during or after the cooling, - the comminuted product is mixed with active substance B, with component (i) or (ii), which is still missing where appropriate, of the effervescent composition A
and, where appropriate, with further ancillary substances C and, where appropriate, - the resulting mixture is tabletted.

Preferred CO2 donors A(i) comprise alkali metal and alkaline earth metal carbonates and bicarbonates, especially sodium and potassium carbonates and bicarbonates, and magnesium and calcium carbonates.

Suitable as acidic component A(ii), which liberates carbon dioxide from the COZ
donor A(i), are all physiologically acceptable acids (so-called "acidulants"), which are strong enough to liberate carbon dioxide from component A(i); such acids have a first equilibrium exponent pKa of from 1 to 7, preferably 2 to 6 (at 25 C).
Preferred acidic components A(i) comprise ascorbic acid and polybasic carboxylic acids LeA32842
-3-having 3 to 8, preferably 4 to 6, C atoms and 2 to 4 carboxyl groups per molecule, such as, for example, vitamin C, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid and mixtures thereof.

Suitable pharmaceutical active substances C cornprise analgesics such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, paracetamol, acetylsalicylic acid, inhibitors such as nimesulide, meloxicam, naproxen, propyphenazone, metamizole, antacids such as hydrotalcite, magaldrate, calciu.m carbonate, antiasthmatics/bronchospasmolytics such as salbutamol, tulobuterol, terbutaline, cromoglicic acid, ketotifen, theophylline, antibiotics such as quinolones, tetracyclines, cephalosporins, penicillins, macrolides, sulphonamides, polypeptides, phychopharmaceuticals such as benzodiazepines, haloperidol, amitryptyline, carbamazepine, antirheumatics such as phenylbutazone, indometacin, diclofenac, piroxicam, antidiabetics such as metformin, glibenclamide, acarbose, glisoxepide, antiallergics/antihistamines such as astemizole, terfenadine, loratadine, clemastine, bamipine, cetirizine, antihypotensives such as etilefrine, norfenefrine, dihydroergotamine mesilate, antitussives such as codeine, dextromethorphan, clobutinol, dropropizine, antihypertensives such as beta blockers such as propranolol, atenolol, metoprolol, prazosin, antihypertensives such as calcium channel blockers such as nifedipine, nitrendipine, diltiazem, verapamil, felodipine, nimodipine, laxatives such as sodium picosulphate, lactulose, lactitol, mucolytics/expectorants such as ambroxol, bromhexine, guaifenesin, acetylcysteine, carbocisteine, H2 blockers such as ranitidine, famotidine, pirenzepine, local anaesthetics such as benzocaine, lidocaine, procaine, antiemetics/prokinetics such as metoclopramide, domperidone, meclozine, dimenhydrinate, lipid lowering agents such as fenofibrate, bezafibrate, pravastatin, fluvastatin, agents effective for migraine, such as caffeine, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine, sumatriptan, pizotifen, sympathomimetics such as pseudoephedrine, pl:ioledrine, vitamins and minerals.

LeA32842
-4-The ancillary substances C, which should melt at least partially in the process according to the invention, have, as single substance and/or in mixtures, preferably melting points of from 30 to 200, preferably from 40 to 160 C. Preferred ancillary substances of this type are soluble in water, that is to say they generally have a solubility in water of at least 10, preferably at least 30, and, in particular, at least 40 g/100 ml of water at 20 C.

Fusible sugars C comprise, for example, monosaccharides such as glucose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, xylose, ribose and disaccharides such as sucrose, lactose, maltose. Sugar alcohols C preferred for the iiivention comprise xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, isomalt, lactitol, erythritol, threitol, ribitol, arabitol and dulcitol. Preferred sugar-alcohols of this type are described, for example, in EP-B 435 450. The term "sugar substitutes" for the purpose of the invention does not include sugar alcohols.
Preferred sugar substitutes C comprise acesulfame, aspartame, saccharin, sodium cyclamate.

Further ancillary substances C comprise flavourings, sweeteners, lubricants, flow regulators, disintegrants and bulking agents such as, for example, starch and starch derivatives, cellulose and cellulose derivatives, polyethylenes.
The effervescent preparations obtainable accorcling to the invention may contain the components in a wide variety of ratios of amounts; preferred effervescent preparations contain (in each case in parts by weight) A: 5 to 95, preferably 10 to 80, B: 5 to 95, preferably 40 to 60, C: 1 to 60, preferably 15 to 30 (sugar, sugar alcohol, or sugar substitute) and, where appropriate, I to 50, preferably 5 to 15 (other ancillaiy substances).
The effervescent composition A preferably contains 30 to 70% by weight of CO2 donor and 70 to 30% by weight of acidic component, in each case based on A.
The melt of effervescent composition A (component) and fusible sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute C can be prepared, for example, by adding LeA32842
-5-effervescent composition A (components) to a melt of sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute C or by melting a mixture of effervescent composition A
(components) and sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute C.

However, the process according to the invention can also be carried out by contacting all components of the effervescent preparation with the molten sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute for the purpose of dispersion, whether by premixing all components and heating together, or whether by melting sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute and dispersing the remaining components (simultaneously or successively) in the melt. It is, of course, possible to use mixed forms of the process variants described.

The melt can be produced in virtually any suitable manner;
Thus, it is possible straightforwardly to use heatable stirred vessels. It is also possible to use a melt-granulation process as described, for example, in WO 92/6679. A
preferred process is melt extrusion as describeci, for example, in EP-A 686 392. It is possible to employ for the extrusion commerci.ally available single screw and twin-screw extruders. It is moreover possible to feed the starting materials to the extrusion via a weigh feeder. The melt temperature cai7 be 30 to 200 C. The pressure can preferably be 2 to 200 bar, depending on the die orifice (preferably 0.5 to 5 mm) and the speed of rotation (preferably 5 to 400 revolutions/minute). The output can vary within wide limits, but is preferably 1 to 100 kg/hour. The extrudates are cooled where appropriate. After the comminution, they can be mixed with active substance B and, where appropriate, further ancillary substances C, and tabletted where appropriate.

Preferably neither water nor an organic solvent which is volatile under the processing conditions is employed in the process according to the invention, that is to say preferably water and solvent are absent from the process. In other words,: the process is precisely not that described in German Offenlegungsschrift 22 16 072 or in Acta Pharm. Suec., 24, (2), 84, 1987 Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 13, (9-11), 1891-1913, 1987 Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 14, (13), 1791-98, 1988.

The process according to the invention can be carried out continuously or batchwise.

LeA32842
-6-In the process according to the invention, component A(i) and/or A(ii) and, where appropriate, further effervescent preparation components are dispersed in the fusible sugar, sugar alcohol or sugar substitute C, that is to say the fusible component C
forms a matrix in which A(i) and/or A(ii) and, where appropriate, further effervescent preparation components are embedded.

Thus the invention also relates to effervescent preparations consisting of A. effervescent composition containing (i) CO2 donor and (ii) acidic component, B. pharmaceutical active substance and C. - ancillary substance, characterized in that ancillary substance C contains fusible sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute, and component A(i) and/or A(ii) is dispersed in a matrix of fusible sugar and/or sugar alcohol and/or sugar substitute.
