Description

A pharmaceutical composition containing abiraterone or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing abiraterone or medicinal salt thereof and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Abiraterone acetate is a CYP17 inhibitor developed by the Qiangsheng pharmaceutical company in the United states and is used for treating metastatic castration of prostate tumor patients. Abiraterone acetate tablets were first marketed in the united states in 2011 under the trade name Zytiga. An oral dose of 1000mg, i.e. 4 tablets of 250mg gauge, is recommended. Because abiraterone acetate is a low-solubility and low-permeability drug, the abiraterone acetate has poor bioavailability (10%) and obvious food effect, and needs to be taken on an empty stomach, and cannot be eaten at least 2 hours before taking and at least 1 hour after taking.
To further increase the bioavailability of abiraterone acetate and reduce the food effect, indian sun pharmaceutical company employs dry grinding technology to pulverize the drug substance into nanocrystalline particles with average diameter less than 1 micron, which are then compressed into tablets, as reported in document CN 105246598A. This modified formulation was approved by the FDA in 5 2018 under the trade name Yonsa. The Yonsa specification was reduced to 125mg compared to the 250mg specification of Zytiga. Oral administration of 500mg Yonsa per day achieves therapeutic equivalence in reducing androgen levels in the serum of a patient as compared to oral administration of 1000mg Zytiga per day. The preparation adopts a dry grinding technology, and the ground dry powder has poor fluidity and serious static charge, so that the preparation and quality control of the tablet are difficult. In addition, abirater Long Yi oxidizes, and after nanocrystallization, the specific surface area increases, and the area in contact with air also increases, which accelerates oxidation of the drug. Because of the potential risk of genotoxicity of abiraterone oxidized impurities, antioxidants Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) are added to the formulation, and BHA has a certain carcinogenic effect. The use of other antioxidants is not effective, for example, when the use amount of the antioxidant is 0.4% by combining ascorbic acid and fumaric acid, the related substances are increased from 0.23% to 0.80% after heating at 80 ℃ for 4 hours, and the impurity is obviously increased.
Furthermore, patent document CN 111617258A discloses a process for preparing a pharmaceutical composition of abiraterone or derivatives thereof and its use, i.e. a nanosuspension (D90 less than 1000 nm) containing abiraterone or derivatives thereof is mixed with an absorption enhancer and optionally at least one excipient, granulated by a fluid bed and then prepared into a solid formulation. The obtained preparation has improved bioavailability, improved individual variability of administration patients, etc., compared with Zytiga. This technique also uses wet milling, but the recipe does not contain antioxidants nor gives any impurity content data. In addition, the prescription contains an oral absorption enhancer, and the oral absorption enhancer can promote the absorption of medicines and the permeation of all intestinal contents including toxins and pathogens, so that the toxins and pathogens can easily enter the blood circulation of a human body, and secondary infection can be caused.
Document CN111110646a also discloses a prescription of low specification abiraterone acetate oral preparation and a preparation method, the prescription comprises abiraterone acetate, a surfactant, a hydrophilic polymer, an antioxidant, a co-stabilizer, a diluent, a disintegrant and a lubricant; the preparation method comprises the steps of wet grinding, drying and dewatering, mixing and tabletting. The prepared abiraterone acetate tablet can promote drug dissolution and absorption. The technology also adopts wet grinding to prepare the Abiraterone Long Nami crystal, the grinding time is long, and the industrialization process difficulty is high. In addition, the intense collisions between the milling beads and the milling chamber can result in the incorporation of metal ions into the nanosuspension which can catalyze the drug to accelerate the self-oxidation reaction. Thus, antioxidants BHA and BHT are also added to the formulation.

Detailed Description
The following examples and experimental examples serve to further illustrate the invention but do not limit the effective scope of the invention in any way.
Example 1: comparison of antioxidant and drug particle mean particle size after devitrification
1) Dissolving the raw materials or the antioxidant in 15ml of ethanol;
2) Polysorbate 80 was dissolved in 150ml water;
3) And pouring the ethanol solution into the water solution under stirring to obtain the nano suspension.
The particle size test results of the nanosuspension are as follows:
from the results, the liquid phase precipitation method is adopted, the particle size of the precipitated drug particles and the particle size of the antioxidant are smaller than 300nm, the particle sizes of the tocopherols and the ascorbyl palmitate are smaller than 200nm, and the particle size of the precipitated ascorbyl palmitate is the smallest.
Example 2: comparison of antioxidant properties of different antioxidants
1) Dissolving the raw materials and an antioxidant in 15ml of ethanol;
2) Dissolving a surfactant and a drying protective agent in 150ml of water;
3) Pouring the ethanol solution into the water solution under stirring to obtain a nano suspension;
4) Spray drying the suspension at 120 ℃ to obtain the drug-loaded dry powder particles.
The drug-loaded dry powder is placed in an oven at 80 ℃ for 4 hours, taken out and analyzed for related substances, and the results are as follows:
from the results, the tocopherol and ascorbyl palmitate have the best oxidation resistance under the condition that the dosage of the antioxidant is 0.1 percent, can well inhibit the spray drying and the impurity generation at 80 ℃, and has the total impurities unchanged basically compared with the bulk drugs. And secondly, the total impurity growth of the egg yolk lecithin is obvious under the spray drying condition and the temperature of 80 ℃. Sodium metabisulfite has the worst antioxidant effect, and the total impurity growth is most obvious under the spray drying condition and at 80 ℃.
While patent document CN105246598A combines two antioxidants of ascorbic acid and fumaric acid, the antioxidants, the medicines and other auxiliary materials are ground together by a dry method, even if the dosage of the antioxidants is 0.4%, the antioxidant effect is still poor, and after heating for 4 hours at 80 ℃, the total impurity is increased from 0.23% to 0.80%.
Example 3: reducing the dosage of the antioxidant to 0.05 percent
1) Dissolving the raw materials and an antioxidant in 15ml of ethanol;
2) Dissolving a surfactant and a drying protective agent in 150ml of water;
3) Pouring the ethanol solution into the water solution under stirring to obtain a nano suspension;
4) Spray drying the suspension at 120 ℃ to obtain the drug-loaded dry powder particles.
The drug-loaded dry powder is placed in an oven at 80 ℃ for 4 hours, taken out and analyzed for related substances, and the results are as follows:
from the results, when the dosage of the antioxidant is reduced to 0.05%, the total impurity growth at 80 ℃ can be effectively inhibited by both the tocopherol and the ascorbyl palmitate, and the total impurity in the preparation process of the dry powder particles can be effectively inhibited by the ascorbyl palmitate, so that the antioxidation effect is better.
Example 4: particle characterization
In order to further determine the sizes of abiraterone acetate and antioxidant particles, the ethanol solution of the drug is mixed with the aqueous solution of polysorbate 80 to obtain only a suspension containing drug nanoparticles; the ascorbyl palmitate ethanol solution was mixed with the polysorbate 80 aqueous solution to give only a suspension containing antioxidant nanoparticles. And respectively taking a proper amount of the drug nano suspension and the ascorbic acid palmitic acid nano suspension, dripping the drug nano suspension and the ascorbic acid palmitic acid nano suspension on a glass sheet, airing at room temperature, and then performing Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis, wherein the results are shown in figures 1 and 2.
From the comparison of SEM images, the morphology of the abiraterone acetate Long Nami crystal particles is similar to a sphere, the particle size of the abiraterone acetate crystal particles is smaller than 300nm, the particle size of the abiraterone acetate crystal particles is far smaller than that of the abiraterone acetate crystal particles, and the particle size of the abiraterone acetate crystal particles is smaller than 150nm, which is in good agreement with the particle size test result.
After spray drying treatment of the nano suspension containing the drug and the antioxidant, the drug nano particles and the ascorbyl palmitate nano particles are uniformly dispersed in a drying protective agent to form a spherical or hollow spherical structure (see figure 3), and the structure ensures that the nano particles can be rapidly and uniformly dispersed after the nano suspension meets water.
EXAMPLE 5 Abiraterone acetate Crystal form study
