Detailed Description
As described above, the present invention aims to provide a pellet tablet and a method for preparing the same. The micropill tablet obtained by the preparation method of the micropill tablet solves the following technical problems: 1) The coating film of the pellets is easy to be damaged in the tabletting process, so that the drug release curves before and after tabletting are inconsistent; 2) Layering easily occurs in the tabletting process, and tablet weight and medicine content uniformity are poor.
The micropill used in the preparation of the micropill tablet in the invention is a common micropill in the market, such as metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release micropill, esomeprazole magnesium enteric micropill or lansoprazole enteric micropill.
In the prior art, microcrystalline cellulose is usually used as an additional auxiliary material to be mixed with the pellets to play a role of filling, but the applicant has the sharp idea that the microcrystalline cellulose is uniformly mixed with polyethylene glycol and dispersed in a solvent by regulating and controlling the granularity of the microcrystalline cellulose, and a protective layer is formed on the surface of the pellets by adopting a spraying mode, so that the protective strength of the pellets in the tabletting process can be remarkably improved, the drug release curves of the pellets before and after tabletting are kept consistent, the content uniformity of the drug is better, and collision fusion among the pellets is effectively blocked. In addition, the invention enhances the bridging mode between microcrystalline cellulose and polyethylene glycol by controlling the air humidity in the spraying process, so that the protective layer has better film forming property.
The various reagents/instruments used in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products, and the experimental materials and instrument information used in the present invention are shown in the following table:

Comparative example 2
2.1 preparation of Lansoprazole enteric-coated pellets
Lansoprazole enteric coated pellets were prepared as in example 6.
2.2 preparation of lansoprazole enteric-coated pellet tablets
Uniformly dispersing 90g of microcrystalline cellulose and 10g of polyethylene glycol 6000 in 200g of water, wherein the grain size of the microcrystalline cellulose is 10 microns; then spraying 217g of the pill core with the mixed solution in a bottom spraying mode, wherein the air humidity in the spraying process is 23kg/cm 3 . The parameters of spraying are as follows: fluidized bed middle barrel: wurster column; the bottom of the guide cylinder is high: 15mm; airflow distribution plate: fixing; nozzle diameter: 1.0mm; nozzle/air nozzle position: flush; spraying speed: 14mg/min; air inlet temperature: 40-45 ℃; material temperature: 30-40 ℃; peristaltic pump speed: 5-20 rpm; atomization pressure: 1.2bar; intake air volume: 40-60 m 3 /h; air inlet humidity: 23cm 3 /kg。
After spraying, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the pill core, and the weight of the protective layer is increased by about 45%. The sprayed pellets were dried and at 60 ℃ for 2 hours. Tabletting the dried pellets by using a GZP-16 tabletting machine, wherein the tabletting conditions are as follows: the main pressure is 20-35N, the rotating speed of the rotary table is 30-50 rpm, the hardness of the obtained pellet tablet is 110N, and the friability is 0.1%.

The similarity factor f2 value between the micropill tablets prepared in comparative example 2 and the drug release curve of the micropill is <50.
The microcrystalline cellulose content of comparative example 2 was outside the range defined in the claims, resulting in a lower viscosity of the mixture and reduced adhesion, losing the protective effect, and the resulting tablet was unacceptable. When the microcrystalline cellulose content is lower than the range defined by the claims, the viscosity of the mixture is increased due to the too large dosage of polyethylene glycol 6000 as the proportion of the binder is too large, and the pellets are too much adhered in the coating process, so that the process requirements cannot be met.
Application example 1: performance testing
1.1 dissolution test
The dissolution rate of the metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release pellet tablets prepared in examples 1 to 4 was tested. The dissolution rate measurement of the present invention refers to the second method of "0931 dissolution rate and release rate measurement" by the fourth edition of the Chinese pharmacopoeia 2015. Dissolution conditions: 500mL of phosphate buffer (ph=6.8) is used as a dissolution medium, the rotation speed is 50 revolutions per minute, the dissolution medium is taken out after 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours according to the law, and the dissolution medium with the same temperature and the same volume is immediately replenished. The test solution (solution containing metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release pellets) is prepared by respectively taking the dissolution liquid of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 24 hours, filtering, and taking the subsequent filtrate. The dissolution rate was measured, and the results are shown in table 2. The dissolution rate of each tablet in 1 hour, 4 hours, 8 hours and 20 hours is respectively 25% of the marked amount, 20% -40%, 40% -60% and more than 80% of the marked amount. The calculation formulas of the dissolution rate and the accumulated dissolution rate refer to the inlet registration standard: JX20170108.
The dissolution rate was calculated as follows:
wherein: cs: concentration of control, mg/mL; as: main peak area in the control solution; au: main peak area in the sample solution; vu: sample dilution factor, 1; l: a labeled amount, 95mg or 47.5mg;500: volume of dissolution medium.
The calculation formula of the cumulative dissolution is as follows:
wherein: v (V) 1 : sampling volume, mL; v (V) 2 : dissolution medium volume, mL; an: the relative percent dissolution was actually measured n times.
The dissolution test results of the metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release pellet tablets and pellets obtained in examples 1 to 4 are shown in table 26.
Table 26 dissolution test results of metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release pellet tablets and pellets obtained in examples 1 to 4
From the above table, it can be seen that the release curves of the pellet tablets prepared in examples 1 to 4 are substantially consistent with those of the pellets, and the pellet tablets still reach 100% release end point, which indicates that the protection effect on the pellets can be remarkably enhanced by adopting polyethylene glycol and microcrystalline cellulose auxiliary materials in combination with a specific preparation process.
1.2 uniformity test
10 micropill tablets were prepared using the preparation procedure of example 1, and content uniformity was tested using liquid chromatography. The test method of the content of the active ingredient metoprolol succinate refers to JX 20170108-import registration standard, and specific test conditions are as follows: chromatographic column Waters symmetry C (4.6X250 mm,5 μm), acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH=3.0) (24:76) as mobile phase, wavelength 280nm, flow rate 1.2mL/min, test sample concentration approximately 0.05mg of micropellet tablet per 1 mL. The results of the test are shown in table 27 below.
Table 27 test results of content uniformity of micropellet tablets prepared in example 1
As can be seen from Table 3, the metoprolol succinate sustained and controlled release pellet tablets prepared in example 1 all meet the quality standard.
