Non-limiting examples of super disintegrants are crospovidone, modified starches, especially sodium starch glycolate and carboxymethylcellulose, especially croscarmellose sodium, carboxymethylcellulose calcium. The super-disintegrant can be used in both the wet and dry stages of the granulation process (intragranular and extragranular) and also in direct compression, thus making the best use of the wicking and swelling capabilities of the disintegrant.
The superdisintegrant is present in the composition in an amount of from about 1% to about 20%, desirably from about 1% to about 15%, and most desirably from about 1% to about 10%.

In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises an active agent comprising an effective amount of tenofovir oxalate, optionally together with other excipients.
Adjuvants commonly used in Pharmaceutical compositions, such as diluents, lubricants and glidants, may be used, and a number of literature documents relating to suitable substances are cited herein [ see for details the "Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients" by Raymond C Rowe, Paul J Sheskey and mean C Owen (2006) ].
Other adjuvants may also be used to prepare the pharmaceutical composition, diluents such as microcrystalline cellulose, powdered cellulose, lactose (anhydrous or monohydrate), compressible sugars, fructose, dextran, other sugars such as mannitol, sorbitol, lactitol, sucrose or mixtures thereof, silicified microcrystalline cellulose, calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate, calcium lactate or mixtures thereof. To reduce the adhesion of the tablets to the equipment of tabletting, we prefer to add silicon dioxide, preferably colloidal or fumed silicon dioxide. In addition, the adjuvant should include at least one diluent selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose and lactose monohydrate.

One skilled in the art can select and use one or more of these additives by routine experimentation, given the particular desired properties of the pharmaceutical composition, without any undue influence. The absolute amounts of each additive and the amounts relative to the other additives similarly depend on the desired properties of the pharmaceutical composition and may also be selected by the skilled person by routine experimentation without undue influence.
The core/tablet may be coated using conventional materials for film coating. As described in "drug Coating Technology" by Graham Cole (published 1995). Film coating formulations typically comprise the following ingredients: polymers, plasticizers, colorants/opacifiers, vehicles. In the film coating suspension, small amounts of flavors, surfactants and waxes may be used. Most polymers used for film coating are cellulose derivatives, such as cellulose ethers, or acrylic polymers and copolymers. Occasionally encountered are high molecular weight polyethylene glycols, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol and waxy materials.
Typical cellulose ethers are hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and methylcellulose. Acrylic polymers comprise a group of synthetic polymers with various functions. To ensure complete disintegration/dissolution of the overcoat, some of them may be further modified by incorporating materials such as water-soluble cellulose ethers and starches to enhance swelling and permeability.
Commonly used plasticizers can be divided into three categories: polyols (glycerol, propylene glycol and macrocarpol), organic esters (phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, citrate and triacetin) and oils/glycerides (castor oil, acetylated monoglycerides and fractionated coconut oil).
Color-assisting agents/opacifiers are divided into several categories: organic dyes and lakes thereof, inorganic pigments, natural pigments. Combinations of different materials from each group may be combined in defined proportions. The film coating suspension may be purchased as a ready-to-use formulation on the market.
Film coating dispersions can be prepared by using different solvents (water, alcohols, ketones, esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons), preferably water.
The composition of the coating suspension (calculated as dry material) ideally comprises: 1-99% by weight of a polymer, 1-95% of a polymer; and 1-50% by weight of a plasticizer, desirably 1-40% plasticizer; 0.1-20% of a coloring/opacifying agent, 0.1-10% of a coloring/opacifying agent, all percentages being based on the total weight of the coating.
Tenofovir oxalate is water soluble and therefore the particle size of the API does not have any effect on the dissolution and bioavailability of the compositions of the present invention. Therefore, the average particle size of the drug contained in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is not particularly limited. But the use of drug particles having a uniform diameter is advantageous for handling and preparing the composition. In another aspect, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising tenofovir oxalate, characterized in that said tenofovir disoproxil or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is D50It should be less than 1000 μm, preferably less than 200 μm, and more preferably 175 μm.
In one embodiment, the composition may be in the form of tablets, capsules, caplets, powders, pills, beads, microspheres, granules, pills, and the like. Preferred dosage forms are capsules and tablets. The dosage form is preferably suitable for oral administration. The term "unit dosage form" refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of tenofovir oxalate calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with the addition of a suitable pharmaceutical excipient. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be in the form of tablets, either coated or uncoated. The dosages may be conveniently presented in unit dosage form and prepared by any of the methods well-known in the art of pharmacy.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be in the form of dragees, in which case the compositions are provided with a coating, typically a sugar, shellac or other film coating as is conventional in the art. Note that many known coating methods are employed in the art. For example, by spraying the coating in a perforated pan in a fluidized bed (such as those available from or available from Aeromatic, Glatt Wurster or Huttlin) by the Accela Cota process, or by immersion coating. The sugars used above are among the usual additives and the preparation methods are well known in the art.
The dosage forms may be prepared by known techniques and using well-known and readily available excipients, such as direct compression, dry granulation or wet granulation. In the preparation of tenofovir oxalate compositions, the active ingredient is usually mixed with, diluted with or enclosed in an adjuvant or mixture of adjuvants, such as in the form of capsules, sachets, paper or other containers. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it may be a solid, semi-solid or liquid material which acts as a carrier or vehicle for tenofovir oxalate.
The composition preparation of the present invention can be prepared by compressing a mixture of the drug of the present invention and an auxiliary. For example, a manufacturing method comprising mixing tenofovir oxalate with a manufacturing material by a suitable mixer and directly compressing the mixture into tablets. Other methods include a dry granulation step using a dry granulator or a roller compactor to produce granules for tablets, and a wet granulation step using water, ethanol and a solution containing a binder to prepare granules for tablets.
One of the ideal preparation methods is wet granulation. In wet granulation, some or all of the active ingredients and excipients in powder form are mixed and then further mixed in the presence of a binding solvent or solution to agglomerate the powder. The granules are suitably sieved, dried, and then sieved and/or milled to the desired particle size by sieving or milling or both. The granules may then be tableted/tableted or other excipients, such as glidants and/or lubricants, may be added prior to tableting.
Likewise, the compositions of the present invention may also be prepared by dry granulation. Mixing the medicine and adjuvants, pressing into block or tablet, and pulverizing into compacted granule of appropriate size. The compacted granules may then be compressed into tablets. The compositions may also be prepared by direct compression, direct compression into compacted dosage forms.
The capsule filling of the present invention may comprise any of the mixtures and granulates described above in relation to tableting. However, they were not subjected to a final tableting step.
In another embodiment, when the dissolution is performed using a paddle apparatus according to ph.eur, at least 75% of the drug is dissolved from the pharmaceutical composition in phosphate buffer at pH 6.2 within 30 minutes. Or apparatus 2 according to USP at a temperature of the dissolution medium of 37. + -. 0.5 ℃ with a paddle rotation speed of 75rpm and a volume of dissolution medium of 900 ml. The drug release rate of the composition of the invention is greater than 70%, greater than 80%, such as 90% (over 30 minutes), and greater than 95% (over 45 minutes) within 15 minutes.
The tenofovir oxalate-containing composition is desirably administered once a day in an amount of 10 to 300 mg. The exact dosage of the active agent and the particular formulation to be administered will depend on a number of factors. Such as the condition being treated, the desired treatment time and the rate of release of the active agent. For example, the amount of active agent required and its release rate can be determined based on known in vitro or in vivo techniques, determining how long a particular active agent concentration in the plasma remains at a therapeutically acceptable level
In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprises about 10 to about 300mg tenofovir oxalate. In addition, the pharmaceutical composition comprises 40, 80, 120mg, 15mg, 200mg, 250mg or 300mg tenofovir oxalate.
The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention may be used to incorporate specific active agents for the treatment of known indications, including the treatment of HIV, hepatitis or both. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for treating HIV or hepatitis by administering to a patient in need thereof a pharmaceutical composition comprising tenofovir disoproxil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, and a method for preparing a therapeutic agent for treating HIV and hepatitis.
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising an active agent comprising an effective amount of a hot melt extruded tenofovir oxalate may optionally comprise one or more anti-HIV drugs. The additional active ingredient is preferably another anti-HIV agent, such as abacavir, zidovudine, lamivudine, efavirenz, etilatabine, ribavirin, costab, ezetivir and/or gemcitabine.
The pharmaceutical composition comprising an effective amount of tenofovir oxalate of the present invention has a bioavailability comparable to that of a commercial form of tenofovir oxalate or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. In a desirable embodiment, the pharmaceutical composition comprising tenofovir oxalate is bioequivalent to a commercial form of tenofovir oxalate.
