Definitions
- the present invention has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity and relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac that shall be used in the treatment of mild, moderate and severe pain, arthralgia, fever, toothache, dysmenorrhea, toothache, myalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, backache.
- Diclofenac was first disclosed in the application numbered US3558690.
- Diclofenac and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic drugs belonging to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).
- NSAID non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
- Diclofenac is available in the forms of 25 mg and 50 mg dragee; 75 mg/3ml ampoule; 1%,2% and 3% gel; 100 mg capsule; 0.1% eye drop; 50 mg and 100 mg suppository; 75 mg and 100 mg sustained release tablet; 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg enterically coated tablet and 100 mg retard tablet on the market.
- Diclofenac is a hygroscopic molecule and thus its water solubility is quite low. Therefore, it is observed that effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac disperse slowly when they contact with water and the active agent does not dissolve sufficiently owing to these characteristics of the active agent diclofenac. Due to this, sufficient amount of the active agent cannot be absorbed; the required bioavailability cannot be obtained. Consequently, an effective treatment cannot be provided. In other aspect, it is required that the solutions obtained by dissolving the formulations comprising diclofenac in water should have a pH value in water in the range of 4,1-5 according to the specifications.
- the effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac comprise at least two buffering agents having acidic and basic characteristics along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70: 1 to 10: 1; they have high water solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic activity and they do not cause any stomach disturbances since the solution obtained during use of said formulations is in optimal pH range for the stomach.
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac.
- diclofenac effervescent formulations which comprise at least two buffering agents having acidic and basic characteristics along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and wherein the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70:1 to 10:1, have high water solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic activity.
- the inventors have seen that since the solution obtained during use of said formulations is in optimal pH range for the stomach, it does not cause stomach disturbances and an effective treatment is obtained.
- the first aspect of the present invention is that the effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac comprise at least two acidic and basic buffering agents along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70:1 to 10: 1.
- said formulation comprises diclofenac in the range of 0.1-10%, preferably in the range of 0.5-8%, more preferably in the range of 1- 5 % as the active agent.
- Diclofenac comprised in the pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention is in the form of its pharmaceutically acceptable organic and inorganic salts, hydrates, solvates, esters, enantiomers, racemates or combinations thereof in terms of chemical structure; in free form, crystalline, amorphous forms or combinations thereof in terms of polymorphic structure.
- the particle size of diclofenac active agent is another parameter affecting on the dissolution and bioavailability of the formulation.
- the inventors have found that in the case that diclofenac used as active agent has average particle size in the range of 1-100 ⁇ , preferably 3-60 ⁇ ⁇ , more preferably 5-40 ⁇ , the obtained effervescent formulation dissolves rapidly and thus a high bioavailability is obtained.
- the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical formulations wherein diclofenac which is used as active agent has average particle size in the range of 1-100 ⁇ , preferably 3-60 ⁇ , more preferably 5-40 ⁇ .
- the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical formulations wherein the ratio of di 0 value of diclofenac to d 90 value of diclofenac is in the range of 1 : 1 to 1 :100, preferably in the range of 1 : 10 to 1 :75, and more preferably in the range of 1 :20 to 1 :60.
- d 10 value used herein signifies that 10% of the said substance by volume has a particle size below the value stated with di 0 .
- d 90 value used herein signifies that 90% of the said substance by volume has a particle size below the value stated with d 90.
- the formulations of the present invention comprising diclofenac are in the form of effervescent tablet, granule or powder, preferably in effervescent tablet form.
- the effervescent acid comprised in the formulation comprising diclofenac according to the present invention is less than 60%, preferably in the range of 10-59%, more preferably in the range of 20-40%.
- the effervescent base in the formulation comprising diclofenac according to the present invention is more than 15%, preferably in the range of 15.1-58%, more preferably in the range of 20-55%
- the effervescent acid in the formulation of the present invention can be selected from a group comprising acetic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid, propionic acid, tartaric acid and monosodium citrate or a combination thereof.
- citric acid or monosodium citrate is used as the effervescent acid.
- the effervescent base in the pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention can be selected from a group comprising sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate dihydrate, sodium hydroxide or combinations thereof.
- preferably sodium bicarbonate is used as the effervescent base.
- the ratio of the basic buffering agent to the acidic buffering agent is in the range of 60.T to 20: 1, more preferably in the range of 55:l to 30:l .
- the basic buffering agent can be selected from a group comprising potassium bicarbonate, potassium citrate, potassium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate dihydrate, sodium hydroxide or a combination thereof.
- sodium carbonate is used as the basic buffering agent in the formulations of the present invention.
- the acidic buffering agent used in the pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention can be selected from a group comprising sodium citrate, sodium acetate, dibasic sodium phosphate, tribasic sodium phosphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, sodium acid pyrophosphate and sodium acid sulphate or a combination thereof.
- sodium citrate more preferably its sodium citrate dihydrate form is used as the acidic buffering agent in the formulations of the present invention.
- the ratio of sodium carbonate: sodium citrate dihydrate is in the range of 70: 1 to 10:1, preferably in the range of 60: 1 to 20: 1, more preferably in the range of 55: 1 to 30: 1.

Description
FORMULATIONS COMPRISING DICLOFENAC AS THE ACTIVE AGENT
The present invention has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activity and relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac that shall be used in the treatment of mild, moderate and severe pain, arthralgia, fever, toothache, dysmenorrhea, toothache, myalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, backache.
Diclofenac was first disclosed in the application numbered US3558690. Diclofenac and/or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts are analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic drugs belonging to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID).
Diclofenac is available in the forms of 25 mg and 50 mg dragee; 75 mg/3ml ampoule; 1%,2% and 3% gel; 100 mg capsule; 0.1% eye drop; 50 mg and 100 mg suppository; 75 mg and 100 mg sustained release tablet; 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg enterically coated tablet and 100 mg retard tablet on the market.
Diclofenac is a hygroscopic molecule and thus its water solubility is quite low. Therefore, it is observed that effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac disperse slowly when they contact with water and the active agent does not dissolve sufficiently owing to these characteristics of the active agent diclofenac. Due to this, sufficient amount of the active agent cannot be absorbed; the required bioavailability cannot be obtained. Consequently, an effective treatment cannot be provided. In other aspect, it is required that the solutions obtained by dissolving the formulations comprising diclofenac in water should have a pH value in water in the range of 4,1-5 according to the specifications. However, since pH value is over 5 in the solutions obtained by putting the formulations comprising diclofenac into water during their use in effervescent tablet form, they may cause possible stomach disturbances. In line with the problems mentioned in the prior art, there is need to produce new solutions in order to develop effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac which have high absorption
and bioavailability and high therapeutic effect and which can dissolve easily during use and do not cause any disturbances in stomach.
The inventors have surprisingly observed that in the case that the effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac comprise at least two buffering agents having acidic and basic characteristics along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70: 1 to 10: 1; they have high water solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic activity and they do not cause any stomach disturbances since the solution obtained during use of said formulations is in optimal pH range for the stomach. Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising diclofenac. As a result of the studies they conducted in line with this requirement, the inventors have observed that diclofenac effervescent formulations which comprise at least two buffering agents having acidic and basic characteristics along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and wherein the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70:1 to 10:1, have high water solubility, bioavailability and therapeutic activity. In addition, the inventors have seen that since the solution obtained during use of said formulations is in optimal pH range for the stomach, it does not cause stomach disturbances and an effective treatment is obtained. According to this, the first aspect of the present invention is that the effervescent formulations comprising diclofenac comprise at least two acidic and basic buffering agents along with effervescent acid and effervescent base and the ratio of the acidic buffering agent to the basic buffering agent is in the range of 70:1 to 10: 1.
In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, said formulation comprises diclofenac in the range of 0.1-10%, preferably in the range of 0.5-8%, more preferably in the range of 1- 5 % as the active agent.

It is known that the particle size of diclofenac active agent is another parameter affecting on the dissolution and bioavailability of the formulation. The inventors have found that in the case that diclofenac used as active agent has average particle size in the range of 1-100 μιη, preferably 3-60 μιη, more preferably 5-40 μπι, the obtained effervescent formulation dissolves rapidly and thus a high bioavailability is obtained.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical formulations wherein diclofenac which is used as active agent has average particle size in the range of 1-100 μηι, preferably 3-60 μπι, more preferably 5-40 μιη.
Moreover, in the studies the inventors conducted in order to develop the solubility of active agent and dissolution rate of the effervescent formulations, they have found that dlO and d90 values of the active agent are also important parameters for developing solubility and dissolution.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to the pharmaceutical formulations wherein the ratio of di0 value of diclofenac to d90 value of diclofenac is in the range of 1 : 1 to 1 :100, preferably in the range of 1 : 10 to 1 :75, and more preferably in the range of 1 :20 to 1 :60.
The term d10 value used herein signifies that 10% of the said substance by volume has a particle size below the value stated with di0.
The term d90 value used herein signifies that 90% of the said substance by volume has a particle size below the value stated with d90. The formulations of the present invention comprising diclofenac are in the form of effervescent tablet, granule or powder, preferably in effervescent tablet form.
The effervescent acid comprised in the formulation comprising diclofenac according to the present invention is less than 60%, preferably in the range of 10-59%, more preferably in the range of 20-40%. The effervescent base in the formulation comprising diclofenac according to the present invention is more than 15%, preferably in the range of 15.1-58%, more preferably in the range of 20-55%

The inventors have also seen that the weight ratio of diclofenac active agent to buffering agents has an influence on the dissolution and homogeneity of the formulation. They have observed that when the ratio of diclofenac to the combination of the buffering agents is in the range of 1 : 10 to 9: 10, preferably 2:10 to 6: 10 by weight, homogeneous and rapidly dispersible effervescent formulations have been provided.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to the effervescent formulations wherein the ratio of diclofenac active agent to the combination of the buffering agents is in the range of 1 : 10 to 9:10, preferably 2:10 to 6: 10 by weight.
