Description

Pharmaceutical composition
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation that contains as the cyclosporin of active component, for example soft capsule.More particularly, the present invention relates to a kind of soft capsule preparation, it comprises: as the cyclosporin of active component; Propylene carbonate or Polyethylene Glycol or its mixture; Be selected from down the material of group or two or more are selected from down the mixture of organizing material: the carboxylate of fatty acid and primary alconol, MCT Oil and fatty acid monoglyceride as oil component a kind of; And HLB (hydrophile-lipophile balance) value is 8~17 surfactant.
Cyclosporin is a kind of special macromole that is made of 11 aminoacid (molecular weight 1202.64) cyclic peptide compounds, and it has useful pharmacologically active, especially immunosuppressive activity and the anti-inflammatory activity of wide region.Therefore, cyclosporin has been used to suppress the inborn immune response of live body, this response by the tissue and organ transplantation cause, for example, the transplanting of heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, bone marrow, skin and cornea, the transplanting of especially outer source tissue and organ.In addition, cyclosporin is applicable to and suppresses hematopathy (for example anemia), various autoimmune diseases (for example systemic lupus erythematosus (sle), spontaneous malabsorption syndrome etc.), and inflammation (for example arthritis, rheumatoid disease etc.).Cyclosporin is applicable to the treatment protozoacide, for example malaria, schistosomicide etc., and in addition, it also is used to chemotherapy recently.
Cyclosporin is a height lipotropy and hydrophobic.Thereby cyclosporin is slightly soluble in water, and is dissolved in this class organic solvent, for example methanol, ethanol, acetone, ether, chloroform etc.Owing to have the low aqueous solubility of the cyclosporin of aforementioned properties,, and may be subjected to the tremendous influence of individual patient situation so when oral cyclosporin, its bioavailability is extremely low.Therefore, be difficult to the treatment concentration of remaining valid.In addition, cyclosporin may show sizable side effect, for example pnehrotoxicity.So cyclosporin is owing to its low aqueous solubility is difficult to be mixed with oral formulations.Therefore, carried out big quantity research widely and tried to find out and be fit to the preparation of effective oral cyclosporin, said preparation should be able to provide suitable uniform dose and suitable bioavailability.
In the prior art, be fit to the form that the oral preparation that is slightly soluble in the cyclosporin of water is formulated into the pre-concentration emulsion usually.
The U.S. Patent No. 4,388,307 of issue on June 14 nineteen eighty-three has been enlightened a kind of typical method of this combination of application.This patent disclosure the alcoholic acid liquid formulation of cyclosporine of a kind of application.By disclosed method in this US Patent specification, with cyclosporin and a kind of carrier combinations and form described liquid preparation, this carrier comprises: as the ethanol of cosurfactant, as the olive oil of vegetable oil, and as the crude vegetal triglyceride of surfactant and the transesterification products of polyalkylene polyhydric alcohol.
Yet, the liquid preparation that forms to be used as containing water diluent, it is difficult to make the curee to adapt to its dispenser, and is difficult to the uniform dose that provides oral.
In order to alleviate the inconvenience of the described cyclosporin fluid composition of dilute with water before oral, the fluid composition that will be the pre-concentration emulsion form is mixed with soft capsule preparation, and said preparation can be purchased by Sandimmune (registered trade mark) now.Cyclosporin soft capsule contains ethanol under this situation, and this is because the dissolubility requirement of cyclosporin.But, but because the capsular gelatin shell of ethanol infiltrate (even because ethanol also is volatile at normal temperatures), so in order to prevent that ethanol volatilizees from soft capsule preparation in storage and sales process, soft capsule preparation can be wrapped in the specific packaging material, for example aluminum-aluminum foaming body packing.
May develop a kind of like this cyclosporin formulations recently, it has bin stability and roughly constant bioavailability further is provided, and also zero difference roughly between the individual curee is so can keep the biological effect unanimity of cyclosporin.One of Kai Fa preparation is disclosed among Korea S's publication (Korean Laid-open Patent) publication number 93-113 for this reason.Said preparation is with registered trade mark " Sandimmun Neoral " commercialization.Yet, because said preparation has also been used ethanol, so it may have existing contain some such shortcoming of ethanol preparation, the variation of for example bin stability aspect, and ethanol content.
Therefore, the inventor has studied the multiple combination of various surfactants, oil component, cosurfactant etc., attempt to seek a kind of like this herbicide-safener combination: it is stable, and provides from the pharmacokinetics performance and consider difference than content the blood between higher bioavailability of existing cyclosporin formulations and the lower individual curee.As a result, we have found that a kind of herbicide-safener combination of the composition that hereinafter defines that comprises can satisfy above-mentioned requirements, so finished the present invention.
Therefore, one aspect of the present invention provides a kind of compositions that is fit to be mixed with soft capsule, and it comprises: as the cyclosporin of active component; Hydroaropic substance Polyethylene Glycol or non-hydroaropic substance propylene carbonate or its mixture; Hereinafter Ding Yi oil component, and surfactant.
