Definitions

- Example 2 So e.g. the publication EP247983A, in Example 2, describes preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation of omeprazole in capsules.
- pellets with the active ingredient omeprazole based on the filler mannitol are prepared by extrusion and spheronization. These pellets are further coated twice, namely with an insulating and then an acid resistant layer. Then, capsules are filled with these pellets. Every capsule was filled with 225 mg of these pellets with the content of 20 mg of the active ingredient omeprazole.
- the matter contained in a capsule contained approx. 8.88% of omeprazole.
- Example 4 Another publication, WO9501783, in Example 4, describes a similar formulation where the active ingredient omeprazole magnesium salt is comprised in a mannitol-based pellet. The pellets are filled into a capsule. The filling of the capsule comprises approx. 9.4% of the magnesium salt of omeprazole.
- EP277741 A in Example 2, neutral pellets are coated with the active ingredient, lansoprazole. On the layer with the active ingredient, an insulating layer is applied and then an acid resistant layer. The pellets are filled into capsules. The content of lansoprazole in the capsuled matter is approx. 7.11%.
- EP1010423 in Example 1, neutral pellets were coated with lansoprazole and subsequently with a layer comprising acid resistant coating. The content of lansoprazole in the pellets was approx. 6.5%.
- the filling of the capsule comprises less than 10% of the active ingredient, i.e. more than 90% of inactive excipients.
- the active ingredient i.e. more than 90% of inactive excipients.
- pellets with a higher quantity of the active ingredient have also been described. However they were not filled into capsules, but tablets were made from them (called MUPS). However, tabletting of ready-made pellets required addition of other excipients.
- Example 1 of EP 723436 pellets were prepared comprising 15.9% of omeprazole Mg salt. Before tabletting, 200 g of these pellets were mixed with 299 g of microcrystalline cellulose and 1.2 g of sodium lauryl sulphate. Thus, the final tablet only contains 6.36% of the active ingredient. Similarly, in Example 3, the produced pellets are further mixed with microcrystalline cellulose (no weight ratios are mentioned). In Example 1 of EP 723437, pellets with acid resistant coating are prepared containing 21% of lansoprazole. However, before tabletting, 82 g of these pellets are mixed with 191 g of microcrystalline cellulose. It means that the final tablet only contains 6.3% of the active ingredient.
- pellets designed for further processing must also be provided.
- concentration of the active ingredient in pellets the fewer pellets are inserted into one dosage form as e.g. capsules or tablets, and the bigger problems related to uneven weight can be expected. This results in deviations of the contents and uniformity of the content of the active ingredient in the filling of a capsule or tablet.
- the present invention provides tablets that can be loaded into a capsule or tablet even with a high content of the active ingredient, by addition of a minimal quantity of excipients. This makes it possible to produce pellets with a PPI content of 15 to 85%, which will significantly increase the production capacity of the equipment. Pellets with a PPI concentration of 15 to 85% can be filled into capsules of a small size, which will at the same time contribute to better compliance of the patient.
- the invention provides a dosage unit with the active ingredient PPI in a quantity of 15 to 85%. More specifically the PPI can be loaded between 20 to 40% or still more specifically between 28 to 38%. Other embodiments of the invention constitute the loading 40 to 66% or 45 to 55%.
- the active ingredient is processed with at least one pharmaceutically acceptable substance into the form of a pellet that is provided with insulating and acid resistant coating.
- the ratio of the acid resistant coating to the pellet core comprising the active ingredient coated with an insulating layer is 1:1 to 1:5
- Another aspect of the invention is a preparation method of the concerned dosage form consisting in coating of a neutral core with a layer of the active ingredient in connection with a suitable binder. Coating of the layer with the active ingredient with an inert polymer, and subsequently it is coated with an acid resistant layer. This acid resistant coating can be possibly coated with another neutral layer. To improve the flow properties, the pellet can be further dusted with a suitable glidant.
