Tadalafil tablet composition
Technical Field
The invention relates to a tadalafil tablet composition and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of pharmacy.
Background
Tadalafil (Tadalafil) was developed by rituximab for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Tadalafil is a poorly soluble drug, and the commercially available dosage form is a tablet.
The original Chinese patent CN1213754C adopts a raw material micronizing process to obtain Tadalafil bulk drug with a particle size D90The particle size is controlled to be below 40 mu m so as to improve the solubility, but because the flowability of the tadalafil raw material drug is deteriorated after the tadalafil raw material drug is crushed, the wet granulation process is adopted to prepare the tablet, and the time of the disclosed tabletting process is longer. In the process of tablet preparation, we have found that the tablets prepared have a problem of large intra-batch dissolution difference.
Chinese patent CN104188912B dissolves tadalafil and carrier materials (polyvinylpyrrolidone K30 and poloxamer) in absolute ethyl alcohol, and then the solid dispersion is prepared by decompression and rotary evaporation at 50-90 ℃, but the method relates to the use of organic solvents and the detection of solvent residues, has certain safety problem and lower industrial production efficiency.
The Chinese patent CN107303284A mixes tadalafil and sodium dodecyl sulfate and then carries out crushing treatment, the using amount (4 times of the raw materials) in the patent is far higher than that (between 0.25 and 1.25 times of the raw materials) in the original patent CN1213754C, and the using amount is unreasonable.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the problems in the existing preparation process of the tadalafil tablet composition, the tadalafil tablet which has higher dissolution rate and small dissolution difference in batches is provided.
The technical scheme is as follows:
the applicant has tried to find a simple and feasible formulation and process to produce tadalafil tablets with similar dissolution behavior to the original formulation, while expecting to reduce the intra-batch variation of the formulation, reducing the quality fluctuation. Through experimental research, the tadalafil blend with the particle size within 38 microns is prepared by crushing the tadalafil raw material medicine, lactose and polyethylene glycol 6000 together, the blend has good fluidity, and the problem of insolubility of the raw material medicine can be obviously improved. Based on the discovery, the tadalafil tablet is prepared by adopting a direct powder compression process, the dissolution curve of the prepared tadalafil tablet is similar to that of the original preparation (f 2 is more than 50), and the problem of batch difference is solved.
The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a tadalafil tablet composition comprises 200g of tadalafil, 2480g of lactose 2320-.
The tadalafil tablet composition is a tadalafil blend which is obtained by co-crushing tadalafil, polyethylene glycol 6000 in a prescription amount and lactose in a mass ratio of 1: 2-1: 3 to D90 within 38 micrometers.
In the tadalafil blend with the D90 being within 38 micrometers, the mass ratio of tadalafil to lactose is in the range of 1: 2-1: 3, and the ratio range is favorable for controlling the dissolution rate and the mixture flowability.
Preferably, each thousand tablets of the tadalafil tablet composition comprise 200g of tadalafil, 2400g of lactose, 520g of microcrystalline cellulose, 225g of croscarmellose sodium, 60008g of polyethylene glycol, 35g of hydroxypropyl cellulose, 9.5g of sodium lauryl sulfate, 25g of magnesium stearate and 100g of opadry. The tadalafil was co-milled with polyethylene glycol 6000, a prescribed amount, and 500g lactose to a tadalafil blend with D90 within 38 microns.
The particle size distribution of the tadalafil blend was measured using a laser particle sizer.
The preparation method of the tadalafil tablet comprises the following steps:
firstly, the tadalafil raw material medicine is uniformly mixed with lactose and polyethylene glycol 6000 and then is crushed together to prepare D90A tadalafil blend of no greater than 38 μm;
the tadalafil blend obtained in the first step of the second step is uniformly mixed with the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate and the rest prescribed amount of lactose to obtain a mixture;
the third step: adding magnesium stearate with the prescription amount into the mixture obtained in the second step, uniformly mixing to obtain a final mixture, and tabletting to obtain tadalafil tablets;
the fourth step: and dissolving the coating powder with purified water according to the prescription amount, and coating the tadalafil tablets to obtain the tadalafil tablets.
Has the advantages that: according to the technical scheme, the tadalafil, the polyethylene glycol 6000 and the lactose are crushed together, the mixture after crushing is crushed together, the fluidity of the mixture after crushing is improved, and the dry tabletting technology can be adopted for directly tabletting. The technical scheme of the invention not only improves the dissolution rate of the tadalafil tablet, but also reduces the difference of dissolution in batches. The invention provides a tadalafil tablet with good quality for clinic.

Test example 3
The f2 factor method has been accepted and recommended by the FDA and EMA in the United states as a method for evaluating the similarity of in vitro dissolution profiles. The value of f2 ranges from 0 to 100, and the larger the f2 is, the higher the similarity of the two curves is. FDA and EMEA regulations: if the f2 value between the dissolution curves of the test sample and the reference preparation is not less than 50, the two are considered to be similar. Therefore, we evaluated the similarity of the dissolution profiles using the f2 factor method.
The dissolution rates of the reference formulation of the commercially available tadalafil tablets of the original research, the samples of examples 1 to 3, and the samples of comparative examples 1 to 4 were measured, respectively, and the calculated f2 values were calculated, and the calculation data are recorded in table 3, respectively.
