Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a dry powder inhalant.
Background
The dry powder inhalant is a new drug formulation, the drug of the formulation can be atomized by a drug delivery device and deposited in the lung for absorption, the drug targeting is further enhanced, the toxic and side effects are obviously reduced, the onset speed is also obviously increased, and the clinical test verifies that the dry powder inhalant has good safety and tolerance.
The preparation of dry powder inhalation products often has higher technical difficulty, because the aerodynamic diameter of the active ingredients is usually required to be between 1 and 5 μm in order to deposit and exert local action of the active ingredients in the lung, however, the binding force among particles, such as electrostatic force, van der waals force, capillary force and the like, has complex action, and the influence on the performance of the final preparation is difficult to estimate.
Generally, in the preparation of dry powder inhalation preparations, the active ingredients in the dry powder inhalation preparations need to be subjected to a certain micronization treatment, and then the active ingredients are uniformly dispersed by mixing with a carrier. However, because the cohesion of the micronized active ingredients is strong, agglomerates are easy to form, and the proportion of the micronized active ingredients in the composition is very low, the active ingredient particles after micronization are formed into loose agglomerates by adopting a common mixing mode such as three-dimensional mixing, and the introduced mechanical energy is low and can not break the cohesion among the active ingredient particles, so that the difficulty of mixing is increased, and the prepared dry powder inhalant can not be effectively dispersed and atomized when the inspiratory airflow of a patient is weak, so that the active ingredient has a large aerodynamic particle size and can not be easily intercepted in the oropharynx, and can not enter the lung to play a role. In order to solve the problem, the prior art adopts impact high-shear mixing, and utilizes a stirring paddle or a cutter to impact active ingredient particles or agglomerates, introduce higher mechanical energy to break the cohesive force among the active ingredient particles, and force the active ingredient particles to disperse so as to realize better dispersion, thereby obtaining a dry powder inhalation preparation with good uniformity and inhalation performance. However, the impact type high shear mixing as described above easily causes the effective components to be crushed again during the preparation process, so that the actual particle size of the effective components in the finished preparation is too fine and difficult to control, and the too fine effective components are exhaled with the airflow and cannot stay in the lung, which greatly reduces the actual efficacy of the drug.

Detailed Description
In the preparation method of the dry powder inhalant provided by the invention, micronization is carried out to control the particle size D50 of the active ingredient to be 1-5 μm, and then extrusion type shearing mixing is carried out to disperse the active ingredient.
In the context of the present invention, the extrusion type shear mixing refers to that particles in a material group are subjected to extrusion action from the wall of the mixing container and the stirring paddle, extrusion force is provided perpendicular to the moving direction of the stirring paddle, so that a sliding action of a shear plane is formed inside an effective component mass, a small mass formed by the effective component is broken up, powder is driven to move, and local mixing is caused, and a schematic diagram of the extrusion type shear mixing is shown in fig. 1. The equipment to effect the extrusion shear mixing may be any agitation mixing equipment conventional in the art including, but not limited to, high speed mixers, and the like, preferably high speed mixers. The paddle of the stirring paddle rotating at high speed in the equipment can force the material to pass through the gap between the stirring paddle and the wall of the mixing container, so that loose active ingredient lumps are broken into basic particles under the extrusion action of the paddle of the stirring paddle and the wall of the container, and the basic particles are uniformly dispersed and combined on the carrier, but the effective ingredients cannot be crushed.
In the research process of the method, the inventor of the application discovers through a large number of experiments that too high linear velocity of the stirring paddle in the extrusion type mixing process may cause too high impact force to crush the materials, and too low linear velocity of the stirring paddle may cause low mixing efficiency and insufficient uniform mixing. In the process of the present invention, the linear velocity of the stirring blade is preferably 1 to 20m/s, more preferably 5 to 8m/s, most preferably 5 m/s. In addition, the inventor of the application also finds through experiments that the too narrow gap between the paddle and the container wall causes the larger carrier particles to be crushed due to too large stress, which reduces the flowability of the material, affects the precision of quantitative filling, and reduces the content uniformity of the product. When the gap between the blade and the wall of the container is too wide, the extrusion force applied to the material block is too weak, and the effective components cannot be fully dispersed. In the method of the invention, the clearance between the blade of the stirring paddle and the wall of the container is 0.1-3.0 mm, preferably 0.5-1.0 mm, and more preferably 0.5 mm.
In the method of the present invention, a step of premixing the active ingredient and the carrier using a mixing device such as a V-type mixer, a three-dimensional mixer, a wet mixing granulator, a universal mixer, etc. may be further included before the extrusion shear mixing.
In the method of the present invention, in order to obtain a better targeting effect, a step of micronizing the active ingredients by a jet mill may be further included before the premixing. Preferably, the particle size D50 of the micronized active ingredient is 1-5 μm, more preferably 2-3 μm.
In the context of the present invention, the active ingredient is any active pharmaceutical ingredient that can be prepared as a dry powder inhaler. For example, the active ingredient may be selected from tiotropium, glycopyrronium, aclidinium, umeclidinium and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, indacaterol, formoterol, vilanterol, salmeterol, olopaterol and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, and mometasone, budesonide, beclomethasone, fluticasone and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
The carrier of the invention is any pharmaceutically acceptable carrier which does not react with the effective components. For example, lactose whose safety has been sufficiently verified can be selected as the carrier. In recent years, it has been reported that mannitol and amino acid are used as carriers, and the carrier to be used finally is usually a mixture of a carrier component having a relatively large particle size and a carrier component having a relatively small particle size. In the present invention, the carrier is selected from sugars, sugar alcohols or a mixture thereof, preferably lactose monohydrate, lactose anhydrous or a mixture thereof.
In the process of the present invention, a suitable amount of a lubricant or force control agent may also be added to the carrier. The lubricant or force control agent is selected from one or more of stearate, amino acid and derivatives thereof, and polyethylene glycol.
In the invention, the weight ratio of the effective components to the medicinal carrier is 1: 20-1: 2500. The dry powder inhalants prepared by the method provided by the invention can be pre-dosed in single-dose or multi-dose containers, which can be capsules or blisters, preferably capsules, and can be administered by active or passive inhalation devices by means of appropriate packaging to provide chemical and physical protection.
The beneficial effects of the invention at least comprise the following aspects:
the invention further researches a proper mixing device mode and mixing parameters on the basis of the previous research, and provides a preparation method of the dry powder inhalant. The dry powder inhalant prepared by the method provided by the invention has the advantages that the particles of the effective components are not easy to be excessively crushed in the mixing process, and the prepared dry powder inhalant has the characteristics of proper aerodynamic Fine Particle Fraction (FPF), good content uniformity, excellent inhalation property and the like when the prepared dry powder inhalant is administrated to the lung through a dry powder inhalation device.

dispersing conditions are as follows: sample amount: 11mm3And dispersing by the SUD method, setting the pressure to be 4bar, setting the pressure to be 20ms, and standing for 60 s.
The scanning range is 10mm x 10mm,
the results are as follows:
EXAMPLE 10 content uniformity of active ingredients in Addisium Bromide Dry powder inhalant
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of mixing and filling in different mixing regimes.
The dry powder inhalants prepared in examples 2 to 5 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were filled at a dose of 25 mg/capsule using a capsule filling machine. Sample preparation: 10 capsules were taken for each example, and the content of aclidinium bromide in each sample was checked by high performance liquid chromatography per capsule, and the RSD of the aclidinium bromide content in the samples of the different examples was calculated as follows:
it can be seen from examples 9 and 10 that the extrusion shear mixing and impact high shear mixing used in example 2 and comparative example 1 respectively are both effective in improving the mixing effect of dry powder inhalers, rather than three-dimensional mixing alone, but the particle size of the active ingredient in the formulation is significantly reduced when impact high shear mixing is used, due to the pulverization effect of the mixing on the active ingredient. The dry powder inhalant prepared by the extrusion type shearing mixing process and the dry powder inhalant prepared by the three-dimensional mixing mode have no obvious change on the particle size of the active ingredients, namely the two mixing modes have weak crushing effect on the active ingredients. However, when the gap between the blade and the container wall used in the extrusion type shear mixing process is too narrow, the carrier particles are crushed by the blade, which greatly reduces the fluidity of the mixture and slightly increases the friction crushing effect on the effective components, increases the mixing difficulty of the low-content components including the effective components and greatly reduces the precision of micro quantitative filling.
EXAMPLE 11 Studies of Properties of Dry powder inhalers
The purpose of this study was to mimic the behavior of the dry powder inhaler prepared during administration.
Generally, the deposition process of the inhaled aerosol powder in the respiratory tract can be simulated by using a multi-stage impactor (CI), the measured deposition conditions of different aerodynamic fine particles are simulation results of the drug deposited in bronchioles and alveoli, and it is considered that the drug particles with the aerodynamic particle size of more than 5 μm are not easy to enter the lung, the drug particles with the aerodynamic particle size of less than 1 μm are easy to exhale after entering the lung so as not to be easily deposited in the lung, and the drug particles with the aerodynamic particle size of 1-5 μm are easy to deposit in the lung so as to exert the treatment effect.
The powders of examples 2 to 8 and comparative examples 1 to 4 were filled into capsules at a dose of 25 mg/capsule to prepare dry powder inhalation preparations which can be administered to the lung by a dry powder inhalation device, the aerodynamic deposition of fine particles of the dry powder in each capsule was measured at a flow rate of 30L/min by a next generation cascade impactor (NGI), and the ratio of the deposition amount of fine particles having an aerodynamic particle diameter range of 5 μm or more, 1 to 5 μm and 1 μm or less to the total dose collected by each impact plate was calculated and recorded as the effective component deposition factor of each stage.
The results are as follows:
these data show that at lower inspiratory flow rates, the use of an impact high shear device tends to have a crushing effect on the active ingredient, resulting in an increased proportion of particles having an aerodynamic particle size below 1 μm after being formulated into an inhalable dry powder inhaler product; the multidirectional motion mixing equipment is independently adopted or loose lumps formed by cohesion of the active ingredients cannot be effectively destroyed when the gap between the blades and the container wall is wide, so that more particles with the aerodynamic particle size of more than 5 mu m are generated, the proportion of particles with the aerodynamic particle size of 1-5 mu m, which are easy to deposit in the lung to exert the drug effect, is low, the deposition proportion of the active ingredients with the aerodynamic particle size of 1-5 mu m is high after the dry powder inhalant for inhalation prepared by the method is adopted, and the drug is easy to stay in the lung to exert the drug effect.
Summarizing examples 2-5 and comparative examples 1-4, it can be found that the dry powder inhalant prepared by the present invention has both good content uniformity (RSD below 5%) and excellent deposition distribution of active ingredients (deposition factor with aerodynamic particle size of 1-5 μm is higher than 70%), and has the advantages of uniform content and high delivery efficiency after being made into a dry powder inhalant product for inhalation.
