Loxoprofen sodium sustained-release pellet
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmacy, and relates to a loxoprofen sodium sustained-release pellet and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Loxoprofen Sodium (Loxoprofen Sodium), the first propionic acid precursor type nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), was first developed by japan co. The medicine is metabolized into trans-OH type active medicine in vivo after oral administration, inhibits biosynthesis of prostaglandin, namely covers active center of enzyme by combining with cyclooxygenase, thereby blocking metabolism of arachidonic acid converted into PG by the enzyme, and plays roles of analgesia, antiphlogosis and antipyresis. Loxoprofen sodium as a novel NSAID is a prodrug which is inactive and is active only after rapid conversion by the liver to trans-OH metabolites, unlike other drugs. The analgesic effect is 20 times of that of indometacin, and the mouse paw carrageenin edema experiment shows that the anti-inflammatory effect is twice of that of the indometacin. The medicine has rapid action, and has strong and lasting effects of relieving pain, diminishing inflammation, and relieving fever. At present, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is mainly used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lumbago, scapulohumeral periarthritis, neck, shoulder and wrist syndrome, pains after operation and tooth extraction, acute upper respiratory inflammation and other diseases.
The loxoprofen sodium comprises loxoprofen sodium anhydrous compound, monohydrate or dihydrate, wherein the loxoprofen sodium dihydrate is collected by the Japanese medicine administration and the standards issued by the ministry of China, and is a water-soluble medicine, and the oral preparation of the medicine which is sold on the market at home and abroad at present is mainly loxoprofen sodium tablet, the dosage is 180mg per day, the loxoprofen sodium tablet is taken in three times, and the use convenience is poor. Compared with the common tablets, the loxoprofen sodium sustained-release pellet has the advantages of stabilizing blood concentration, reducing administration times, improving the compliance of patients in taking medicine, reducing gastrointestinal toxic and side effects induced by the over-strong inhibition effect of prostaglandin generated by over-high blood drug peak concentration and the like. In addition, compared with sustained release tablets (unit drug release systems), the loxoprofen sodium sustained release pellets are used as a multi-unit drug delivery system, and 1) after oral administration, the loxoprofen sodium sustained release pellets are rapidly dispersed in the gastrointestinal tract, so that gastric mucosa injury caused by overhigh local concentration is reduced. 2) The micro-pill can easily pass through the gastric pylorus of the human physiological anatomical structure due to the particle size range of less than 1.5mm, thereby avoiding food effect and administration difference among individuals. 3) The multi-unit drug delivery system avoids the occurrence of 'existence' or 'nonexistence' phenomenon existing in the unit drug delivery system, namely the loss of control of individual unit does not influence the drug delivery behavior of the whole system, thereby having higher safety and tolerance.
The polymer aqueous dispersion has been favored in the pharmaceutical industry field for the eighties of the last century because of its environmental protection, low toxicity, low cost, and significant sustained release. The aqueous dispersions currently commercially available for the coating of sustained and controlled release films mainly comprise acrylic resin-based aqueous dispersions (e.g., Eudragit RL30D, Eudragit RS30D, Eudragit NE30) and ethyl cellulose aqueous dispersions (e.g., Surelease and Aquecoat). Wherein the main components of Eudragit RL30D comprise 30% w/w of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and trimethylammoninylethyl methacrylate in a molar ratio of 1: 2: 0.2, and the main components of Eudragit RS30D comprise 30% w/w of ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate and trimethylammoninylethyl methacrylate in a molar ratio of 1: 2: 0.1. Eudragit NE comprises 28.5% w/w of butyl acrylate to methyl methacrylate in a 2: 1 molar ratio and about 1.5% of a stabiliser (nonionic surfactant nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether 100). The dispersion of the Surilise (Surelease) mainly comprises ethyl cellulose with the solid content of 25%, and also comprises dibutyl sebacate, oleic acid, ammonia water, light silica gel and the like. The aqueous Aqcoat dispersion had a total solids content of 30% and contained 25% w/w ethylcellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate and 5% cetyl alcohol, relative to the weight of the ethylcellulose, 2.7%.
When the water-based dispersion liquid coating is used for preparing the sustained-release pellets, because the surface area of the pellets is larger, a more serious burst release phenomenon often occurs, the invention adopts the process that the isolating layer is firstly coated on the pellet core by the acid isolating liquid, and then the sustained-release layer is coated by the water-based dispersion liquid to prepare the water-based alkaline medicament loxoprofen sodium sustained-release pellets, the burst release phenomenon is reduced, the sustained-release pellets meeting the requirements of the sustained-release preparation are obtained, and the sustained-release pellets are suitable for sustained-release preparations which are administrated 2 times (sustained-release 12h) in 1 day or are administrated once (sustained-release 24.
