Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to a preparation method of apixaban long-acting microspheres for injection.
Background
Apixaban is a new generation of potent, reversible, direct and highly selective active site inhibitors of Xa, the structure of which is shown in the following figure. For the treatment of osteoarthritis-related disorders, including the prevention of venous thromboembolism in patients following hip or knee replacement surgery; stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation; can be used for treating acute coronary syndrome. It acts primarily on factor Xa, binds to factor Xa active sites in a highly complementary manner, inhibits free FXa and binds to blood clots, and thus inhibits thrombin activity. By inhibiting FXa, thrombin generation can be inhibited and thrombosis can be prevented.

The microspheres prepared in examples 2, 6 and 7 were observed by a scanning electron microscope, and the results are shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and it can be seen that the apixaban microspheres are spherical or spheroid and have smooth surfaces.
Test example 3 microsphere drug loading and encapsulation efficiency
Octadecylsilane chemically bonded silica is used as a filler; the flow rate is adjusted to lead the main peak to be out of the peak time to be about 9 minutes by taking 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate and acetonitrile (65:35) as mobile phases, and the detection wavelength is 280 nm; weighing apixaban reference substance 10 mg, placing in a50 mL volumetric flask, adding mobile phase to dissolve and dilute to scale, and shaking; weighing 1mL, placing in a 10 mL volumetric flask, diluting to scale with mobile phase, and shaking to obtain control solution; microspheres 10 mg prepared in examples 1-10 were respectively taken, precisely weighed, placed in a 10 mL centrifuge tube, added with 1mL of acetonitrile for complete dissolution, added with 7 mL of methanol for precipitation of polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer, centrifuged (10000 r/min,10 min), and the supernatant was taken in a50 mL volumetric flask, and added with methanol for volume metering to scale. Precisely measuring 20 mL, injecting into a liquid chromatograph, and recording a chromatogram; and taking apixaban reference substance, measuring by the same method, and calculating by peak area according to an external standard method to obtain the total medicine quantity. Further converted into the drug-loading rate and encapsulation efficiency of the microsphere. The results are shown in Table 2. The calculation formula of drug loading and encapsulation efficiency is as follows:
Figure 431205DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
Figure 456930DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
the microspheres prepared in the examples have higher encapsulation efficiency than those prepared in the comparative examples. It can be seen that varying the molecular weight and concentration of PLGA50/50 has little effect on microsphere encapsulation efficiency and drug loading. Although the PLGA type has no obvious effect on the encapsulation rate of the microsphere, the PLGA type has larger effect on the later release of the microsphere, and the PLGA50/50 has better release degree than the PLGA 75/25. The increase of curing in the process can improve the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres to a certain extent, but the decrease of the encapsulation efficiency of the microspheres is caused after the curing time is increased from 10 min to 120 min. The apixaban crude drug D50 is greatly improved in encapsulation efficiency, and the apixaban crude drug D50 can be reduced to 5 mu m by adopting a solvent precipitation method, but compared with a grinding method, the apixaban crude drug D50 has the advantages that the microsphere particle size formed by the crude drug with reduced particle size is larger, the drug encapsulation effect is poor, and the encapsulation efficiency is about 84%.
The result of comparative example 3 shows that the result of the encapsulation efficiency of the apixaban microsphere prepared by the existing preparation method of the drug-loaded microsphere is relatively poor, and the expected ideal effect cannot be achieved, which indicates that the existing preparation method of the drug-loaded microsphere is not applicable to the preparation of the apixaban microsphere. The result of comparative example 4 shows that the Apixaban microsphere is prepared by adopting the O/W method, and the phenomenon of 'quicksand' appears in the preparation process (drug precipitation), so that the microsphere is difficult to encapsulate, and the microsphere encapsulation rate is low, which is only about 37%. The apixaban microsphere is prepared by adopting an S/O/W method, so that the phenomenon of 'quicksand' of the drug can be avoided, the encapsulation efficiency is above 85%, and in particular, the apixaban microsphere does not use fatty acid and other auxiliary materials, has relatively simpler components, and has higher drug loading rate and safer property.
Test example 4 in vitro Release of microspheres
2, g sodium hydroxide was weighed and dissolved in 500, mL water, 105, mL was discarded, 6.8, g potassium dihydrogen phosphate and 605, mL water were added to dissolve together, and 0.02% (w/v) tween 20 was added to obtain a PBS solution containing 0.02% tween 20 with a release medium of ph 7.4.
Separately, 20 mg balls of apices Sha Banwei prepared in examples 1-2 and examples 6-7 were weighed into 50mL conical flasks with stoppers, 50mL PBS solution containing 0.02% Tween 20 was added, the mixture was placed into a 37℃water bath constant temperature shaking pot, 1mL was taken at different time points of 4 h, 1 d, 2 d, 3 d and 7 d … …, centrifuged (10000 rpm,10 min), the supernatant was taken out to 0.7 mL, and 0.7 mL PBS solution containing 0.02% Tween 20 was supplemented, the solution was changed every other day, and then HPLC analysis was performed to calculate the cumulative release percentage, and a cumulative release percentage-time release profile was drawn. The results are shown in FIGS. 4 to 5. From the release profile of fig. 4, the microsphere in example 1 has a small burst release, the burst release in 4 h is only 2.26%, the cumulative release in 24 h is 8.27%, the overall release is slow, the sustained release can be achieved for 84 days, the cumulative release reaches 90%, and the obvious slow release effect is achieved. From the release profile of FIG. 5, the in vitro release of example 6 was slower than that of example 7, indicating that the use of the polylactic acid-glycolic acid copolymer in a ratio of 50/50 had a superior in vitro release, which was sustained for 42 days or more. The composition is applicable to the treatment of antithrombotic related diseases such as the prevention of thrombus after osteoarthritis operation, the prevention of apoplexy of patients suffering from atrial fibrillation and the like.
In conclusion, the S/W/O method and the grinding method are combined to control the particle size of the bulk drug, so that better encapsulation efficiency and drug loading rate can be obtained, and particularly, the release performance of the apixaban microsphere is very good.
