Abstract

The present invention relates to stable sustained-release oral dosage forms of gabapentin, processes for preparation thereof, and uses thereof in treating epilepsy or post herpetic neuralgia.

Description

Stable sustained-release oral dosage forms of gabapentin and preparation method thereof
Invention field
The present invention relates to stable sustained-release oral dosage forms, its preparation method and the application in epilepsy or postherpetic neuralgia thereof of gabapentin.
Background of invention
When a kind of human pharmaceutical dosage form of design, wish that this medicine shows its maximum curative effect and minimum side effect.But the dosage form adjustment dosage regimen or the change bioavailability parameter that have medicament slow release by design only reduce on minimum level ground, even do not eliminate the more inherent side effect of medicine.If but medicine is easy to degraded, and is formed with toxic byproduct in time, or exists in dosage form owing to having isolating incompatibility, its consumption can be harmful to patient's health.Various pharmacopeia require dosage forms do not contain these deleterious catabolites or, if present, should be in the safety allowed band.
Gabapentin (1-(amino methyl) cyclohexane extraction acetic acid) is the gamma-amino acid analog of effectively treating epilepsy.Gabapentin be used for auxiliary treatment epilepsy adult patient with without the extensive partial seizure of Secondary cases.Gabapentin also has been approved for the treatment neuropathic pain in some countries.
Report that between preparation and storage life, gabapentin changes into lactam compound (impurity A).In containing the preparation of gabapentin, also see the formation of this lactams.Between the storage life, the reason that lactams forms in the gabapentin formulation also is the result of the catalytic effect of used adjuvant in the preparation.The toxicity that lactams had surpasses gabapentin itself.Report that gabapentin is to the fatal dose (LD of mice 50) be 8,000 mg/kg, and the fatal dose of corresponding lactams is 300 mg/kg.Therefore, for safety, this catabolite that must may form with these impurity with during the storage of pharmaceutical compositions is reduced to minimum.
U.S. Patent number 6,054,482 have listed the pharmaceutic adjuvant with the gabapentin incompatibility, and to the stability of gabapentin without any the obvious adjuvant of influence.Comprise hydroxypropyl emthylcellulose in the catalog of compatible adjuvant.But when gabapentin and hydroxypropyl emthylcellulose preparation, observing lactams content increases, and makes preparation store the camber instability.
Commonly used and the incompatibility that be easy to obtain pharmaceutic adjuvant, especially rate control polymer of gabapentin and some has limited the quantity of compatible adjuvant, makes to be difficult to develop the gabapentin stable sustained-release dosage form with required release characteristic.Need a kind of method, so that the obtained adjuvant of greater number is suitable for preparing the stable sustained-release dosage form of gabapentin.Consider that unstability and the half-life thereof of gabapentin in dosage form is short, should design a kind of slow release formulation of gabapentin, it between the storage life be stable, lactams content is low and the treatment effective plasma level level of gabapentin was provided in time expand.This stable slow release formulation of gabapentin not only provides the gabapentin treatment of secured fashion, other advantage also is provided, has for example kept the stable blood plasma level of gabapentin and reduce total daily dose and make administration frequency be reduced to the probability of every day 1 or 2 times.

Wherein, the lactams content that y=40 ℃/75%RH produced in following 3 months, the lactams content that x=60 ℃/75%RH produced in following 14 days.By above-mentioned dependency, the lactams of pointing out 60 ℃, 75%RH to store 0.5%w/w in 14 days preparations down is equivalent to the lactams that 40 ℃, 75%RH store 0.4%w/w in 3 months preparations down.
When the preparation of embodiment 1-8 is stored 3 months under 40 ℃, 75% relative humidity, the content of finding lactams in these preparations meets the dependency equation, promptly according to above-mentioned definite dependency, the lactams content of measuring when these preparations store 14 days under 60 ℃, 75%RH can effectively be predicted the lactams content when same preparation stores 3 months under 40 ℃, 75%RH.Stability data shows that when the rate control polymer granule interior was divided minimizing, the stability of gabapentin formulation significantly increased.
