Description

Method for preparing progesterone particles, progesterone particles obtained by same and injection of progesterone particles Technical Field
The invention relates to a method for preparing progesterone particles, in particular progesterone crystals or powder, and to the obtained progesterone crystals or powder and injections thereof.
Background
It is well known that for drugs, the dosage form, physical form, such as crystal form, particle size, solubility, etc., of the product have a significant effect on its in vivo release, bioavailability, etc. Therefore, there is increasing interest in preparing formulations with advantageous crystal forms, advantageous particle sizes, etc.
Progesterone is widely used in clinic for treating diseases caused by luteal function deficiency, such as irregular menstruation, threatened abortion, and the like. Progesterone is known as a polymorphic substance, in which the alpha and beta crystal forms are relatively stable and have well-defined crystal structures (melting points of about 131 ℃ and 123 ℃, respectively), and both have biological activities (r.woolf et al proc.soc.exp.biol.med.,1948,68(1), 79-83; r.lancaster et al j.pharm.sci.,2007,96(12), 3419-. Progesterone with different crystal structures has different melting points, apparent solubilities, optical properties, etc., and thus has an influence on in vivo metabolism, bioavailability, etc. of the obtained preparation.
The preparation method of the common polymorphic medicines in the prior art comprises the conventional methods such as solution crystallization, melting method, sublimation method, grinding method and the like, and also comprises the unconventional methods such as quick freezing, capillary generation method, high-throughput screening method, supercritical fluid method, laser induction and the like.
For example, a method for preparing a crystalline form of progesterone by concentrating an organic solution of progesterone is disclosed in CN 107417756A. However, the method disclosed in this document requires grinding or the like to obtain a sample having a satisfactory particle size distribution. Further, CN109223722A discloses a method for preparing progesterone nanocrystalline injection by freeze-drying progesterone oil-in-water emulsion. However, the method described in this document is not suitable for direct lyophilization because the amount of organic solvent used in the scale-up production of lyophilization is increased, and the size of progesterone nanocrystals is limited by the size of emulsion droplets and the adjustable range is limited.
In addition, currently the most common progesterone formulations are oral formulations and injections. Although the oral preparation is most convenient to administer and has good patient compliance, the first-pass effect is obvious, and the bioavailability is only about 10%. Therefore, the importance of developing aqueous long-acting injection of progesterone is becoming more and more significant from the clinical point of view. The aqueous long-acting progesterone injection is mainly realized by an inclusion type (such as a polymer aqueous progesterone injection and the like) and a direct type (such as a progesterone suspension type long-acting injection and a powder injection). The inclusion-type method involves the problems of drug loading, encapsulation efficiency and the like, not only is the preparation process complicated, but also the working difficulty of later quality standard formulation is increased. The direct method can conveniently control the particle size and the concentration of the progesterone according to clinical needs, so that the administration frequency is lowest, the treatment effect is optimal, and the compliance of patients is enhanced to the maximum extent.
Therefore, the development of the progesterone particles with simple process, good stability and slow release function, especially the preparation method of the crystal or the powder, has important significance.

the step of dispersing is preferably dispersing by a stirring mode, and the rotating speed of stirring is preferably 500-1000 rpm.
Wherein, the organic solution of the progesterone is added into the progesterone precipitation solvent which is sheared at a high speed with a preset flow rate, so that the progesterone is rapidly precipitated in the precipitation solvent. The progesterone powder with the required particle size can be finally obtained by controlling the amount of the progesterone added in unit time and the shearing rate. For example, generally, the smaller the flow rate of the progesterone solution, the faster the shear rate of the eluting solvent, and the smaller the particle size of the obtained progesterone powder.
The method can obtain micron-sized progesterone particles with good stability, and can controllably adjust the particle size of the finally obtained particles, so that the particles with adjustable particle size within the range of 0.3-60 mu m, preferably 10-30 mu m are obtained. Further pharmacokinetic experiments prove that the progesterone injection prepared by the application realizes a sustained release effect for at least 5 days, achieves a sustained release target, can reduce the administration frequency, improves the compliance of patients, and has good stability. In addition, the method of the invention has simple operation and low cost, and is easy for industrial amplification production.
