Definitions
- Trimetazidine Dihydrochloride is an anti ischemic agent that has been used in the management and prophylaxis of angina pectoris and in ischemia of neuro-sensorial tissues as in menieres disease.
- TMZ HCI regulates ionic and extracellular exchanges correcting the abnormal flow of ions across the cell membrane caused by ischemia & preventing cellular edema caused by anoxia.
- TMZ HCI has been in market for above 20 years, as 20-mg tablets.
- the plasma half-life of trimetazidine Dihydrochloride is 6 ⁇ 1.4 hours, and T max is around 1.8 ⁇ 0.7 hours and is therefore recommended for dosing regimen of 2-3 times a day.
- TMZ HCI is highly water-soluble and has a potential problem of burst release. In the case of TMZ HCI it is desirable to develop dosage form that ensure consistent d elivery a nd p rolonged p lasma levels with insignificant contribution to the initial release in case of a failure of the system avoiding a situation of dose dumping, exhibiting less variation in gastro- intestinal transit time thereby providing dosage forms with minimized inter subject and intra subject variation.
- US Patent 4814176 describes sustained release preparation comprising chitin, chitosan, or a mixture thereof, anionic polymer having carboxyl group, sulfonic acid group or a group capable of providing the same and a pharmaceutical active agent including TMZ HCI.
- the process involves pulverization of each of these components to a particle size of about 5-500 mu.m followed by mixing of all the polymers with pharmaceutical active agent in a single step and then preparing dosage forms in the form of tablets, granules, grains, dental cones, films, or tablets in hard gelatin capsules.
- This patent does not disclose any relevant information on the release characteristic for TMZ HCI.
- EP 0673649 describes pharmaceutical compositions for the prolonged release of trimetazidine or its salts, a polymer insoluble in water and a plasticizer to control its liberation.
- the manufacturing process involves preparation of tablets or minigranules with 80mg dose for once a day dosing followed by coating with ethyl cellulose or acrylic derivatives and specific plasticizers such as acetyl tributyl citrate or dibutyl sebacate for prolonged release.
- This patent specifically discourages the use of plasticizers like triacetin, triethylcitrate and acetyltriethylcitrate and demonstrate that their use cause an undesirable latency period of upto 4 hours, at the end of which the release is very fast.
- trimetazidine dihydrochloride In such a case the loading dose of trimetazidine dihydrochloride is not available for immediate absorption and pharmacological action.
- the formulation described releases only upto 75% of the drug in-vitro in a period of 16 hours. This incomplete drug release can lead to non- utilization of the total amount of drug administered to the patient.
- Bioavailability studies conducted on 12 volunteers shows steady state plasma concentration at around 110ng/ml with 80mg oral dose.
- the total daily recommended dose in case of trimetazidine dihydrochloride is 40 - 60 mg in single or divided doses.
- the dose of TMZ HCI in this patent is 80mg, which far exceeds the recommended dose.
- the publication EP 1195160 A1 relates to sustained release matrix pharmaceutical tablet compositions containing 60 mg of TMZ HCI and hydrocolloid forming materials and or hydrophobic polymers and or other hydrophobic materials as a retardant, which release TMZ HCI in a sustained and reproducible manner over a prolonged period of time to achieve the sustained effect of trimetazidine over a 24 hour period after oral administration.
- This invention makes use of multi-step process involving multiple equipments that is laborious, time consuming with potential of cross - contamination.
- EP1108424 describes matrix tablets for sustained release of TMZ HCI for oral administration characterized in that the prolonged release is controlled by the use of a polymer derived from cellulose.
- the invention describes sustained release tablet composition containing 35 mg of TMZ HCI for twice a day dosing. This invention also makes use of multi-step process involving multiple equipments that is laborious, time consuming with potential of cross - contamination.
- microbeads are desirable forms of drug delivery systems as they can be packed into capsules for patient convenience. It may also be noted that though prior art describes several process of manufacturing of sustained release microbeads and tablets, there is no teaching related to processes involving TMZ HCI formulations in microbeads.
- the main object of the present invention is to provide novel compositions and process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI and further coating of the beads with polymeric membrane to tailor the drug release characteristics enabling "once a day” dosing for 60 mg dose of TMZ HCI per unit dose.
- Another object of the invention is to provide continuous process for efficient manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of agglomeration free, uniform shaped and sized microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI in a single equipment viz. fluid bed processor.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI which can be encapsulated in size '3' capsules for d ose 60 m g thus p roviding a patient easy to consume dosage form.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI, which will provide therapeutic blood levels of the drug for once a day dosing for a dose of 60mg.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI without the problem of dose dumping and burst effect from the formulation.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of T MZ H CI which when tested in vitro provides pH independent release of TMZ HCI atleast for a period of 8 - 10 hours without any latent period.
- Another object of the invention is to provide a continuous process for manufacturing of novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI in a single equipment fluid bed processor which essentially consists of spraying aqueous TMZ HCI solution with binder, antitack agent, glidants on inert seeds such as sugar spheres to produce drug core.
- the drug cores are further coated with water insoluble polymer/s with or without plasticizers in fluid bed processor to produce sustained release microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI.
- the objective of the invention is to provide novel compositions and process for optional but "novel use” of plasticizers such as triacetin and triethylcitrate.
- This invention relates to novel compositions and continuous process using a single equipment for manufacturing novel pharmaceutical compositions in the form of microbeads comprising of TMZ HCI wherein TMZ HCI solution with inert excipients in aqueous or hydroalcoholic media is sprayed on inert seeds such as sugar sphere which are further sequentially coated with a polymer/s with or without plasticizers for controlling the release of TMZ HCI to obtain a stable, patient convenient dosage form.
- the manufacturing process is carried out essentially in two stages with a n o ptional third stage continuously in single equipment to give a product capable of being filled in hard gelatin capsules as follows: Stage I: Production of drug core
- Stage II Production of sustained release microbeads (SR I)
- Stage III Optionally a second polymer coat on SR I (SR II)
