Atorvastatin calcium tablet and preparation process thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to an atorvastatin calcium tablet and a preparation process thereof.
Background
Atorvastatin Calcium (Atorvastatin Calcium) belongs to the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, reduces the concentration of cholesterol and serum lipoprotein in plasma by inhibiting HMG-COA reductase and cholesterol biosynthesis in liver, and enhances the uptake and metabolism of low density lipoprotein by increasing the hepatic low density lipoprotein receptor on the cell surface. Atorvastatin calcium is effective in lowering plasma total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, apolipoprotein and triglyceride levels in homozygote and heterozygote familial hypercholesterolemia, non-familial hypercholesterolemia and mixed lipid metabolism disorder patients, and raising high density lipoprotein cholesterol and apolipoprotein Al levels to different degrees. The atorvastatin calcium has various specifications of 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, 80mg and the like, and the dosage forms include tablets, dispersible tablets, capsules and the like.
Atorvastatin calcium is a white or off-white crystalline powder, is very slightly soluble in water, a phosphate buffer solution with pH of 7.4 and acetonitrile, is slightly soluble in ethanol and is very easy to dissolve in methanol. The chemical name is [ R- (R ', R')]-2- (4-fluorophenyl) - β, delta-dihydroxy-5- (1-methylethyl) -3-phenyl-4- [ (anilino) carbonyl]-1H-pyrrole-1-heptanoic acid calcium salt (2:1) trihydrate, formula: (C)33H34FN2O5)2Ca·3H2O, molecular weight: 1209.42.
atorvastatin calcium has poor stability, is sensitive to moisture, heat, low pH conditions and the like, and is easy to degrade particularly under the condition of low pH.
Chinese patent CN 1630510A discloses atorvastatin calcium in a pharmaceutical form, a composition thereof and a pharmaceutical preparation containing atorvastatin calcium, wherein a wet granulation technology is adopted, and calcium carbonate is added in a prescription as a stabilizer to ensure that a medicament is in an alkaline environment, so that the medicament degradation is avoided and the medicament dissolution rate is improved.
Chinese patent CN 102920675A discloses an atorvastatin calcium tablet and a preparation method thereof, and the atorvastatin calcium tablet is prepared by wet granulation and tabletting. The tablet comprises the following components in parts by mass: 7.22 parts of main drug atorvastatin calcium, 84.55 parts of filler, 6 parts of disintegrant croscarmellose sodium, 1.33 parts of adhesive hydroxypropyl cellulose, 800.4 parts of cosolvent polysorbate-800.4 and 0.5 part of lubricant magnesium stearate; the filler comprises the following raw materials in parts by mass: 22.01 parts of calcium carbonate, 21.87 parts of lactose and 40.67 parts of microcrystalline cellulose. The patent adds 22.01 parts of calcium carbonate as a filler, and is coated with a film coat, and simultaneously adds polysorbate-800 as a dissolution promoter, wherein the calcium carbonate can play a stabilizing role, but the problem of the rise of related substances in the storage process cannot be completely solved, and the disintegration rate and the dissolution rate of the patent need to be further improved.
Chinese patent CN 103705484A discloses a stable atorvastatin calcium tablet and a preparation method thereof, the tablet comprises a tablet core and a film coating layer, the tablet core is composed of atorvastatin calcium, a filling agent, a disintegrating agent, a lubricating agent and a compound stabilizing agent with a proper dosage, and the film coating layer contains stabilizing agents such as calcium carbonate, magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate and the like.
In the above patents, alkaline substances such as calcium carbonate are added, so that atorvastatin calcium is stable under alkaline conditions, and the generation of impurities is reduced. However, a large amount of calcium carbonate reacts with gastric acid, which causes adverse reactions such as constipation, flatulence, dyspepsia and the like.
Chinese patent CN1911209A discloses a rapidly disintegrating atorvastatin calcium tablet and a preparation method thereof, wherein the atorvastatin calcium tablet is prepared by wet granulation, and a large amount of disintegrant is added in the formula. However, a problem with a large amount of disintegrant is that it tends to absorb moisture, resulting in degradation of atorvastatin calcium. Furthermore, a certain amount of sodium dodecyl sulfate is added into the formula to improve the in vitro dissolution rate, but the addition of the surfactant can bring about gastrointestinal tract stimulation.
The Chinese patent CN102309462A provides an atorvastatin calcium tablet, which adopts a dry secondary granulation technology, has a complex process and poor stability, and cannot be completely dissolved in acid.
Chinese patent CN102138910A discloses an atorvastatin calcium tablet and a preparation method thereof, wherein a direct tabletting technology is adopted, atorvastatin calcium and croscarmellose sodium in the amount of a prescription are respectively sieved by a 120-mesh sieve and then are uniformly mixed, then are uniformly mixed with lactose (80M) in the amount of the prescription by an equivalent progressive method, and are uniformly mixed with magnesium stearate in the amount of the prescription and then are tabletted to obtain the atorvastatin calcium tablet. However, the tablet was only 60% dissolved in acid for 30min, and was not completely and rapidly dissolved. Meanwhile, lactose is a meta-acidic substance, which can cause the degradation of atorvastatin calcium.
Therefore, it is very necessary to develop atorvastatin calcium tablets and a preparation process thereof, which can solve the above technical problems.
