Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical composition of cytisine for oral administration in the form of a granulate obtained by wet-granulation and a method for the preparation of the granulate.
  • Cytisine is a known plant alkaloid that is used among others as an anti-smoking medicament for oral administration. Dosage strength of cytisine tablets and capsules for oral administration is 1.5 mg per single unit dose.
  • Prior art discloses solid pharmaceutical cytisine compositions in the form of a simple blend that can be used for filling into capsules or preparation of tablets by direct compression, without granulation.
  • EP1586320 describes cytisine solid compositions in the form of a blend that can be used for the preparation of tablets by direct compression.
  • tablets comprise 0.5 to 9.0 percent of cytisine, lactose and microcrystalline cellulose at a ratio of 1 :2.0 to1 :2.5, total content of lactose and microcrystalline cellulose ranging from 87.0 to 97.0 percent by weight of the tablet mass.
  • Average dimension of cytisine particles is 90 pm
  • dimensions of lactose monohydrate particles is up to 500 pm
  • average dimension of microcrystalline cellulose particles is 90 pm.
  • WO2014076680 discloses cytisine hard capsule form, comprising a blend of micronized cytisine with 100% of particles having a diameter below 10 pm, and microcrystalline cellulose with 99% of particles having a diameter below 38 pm, prepared by stepwise blending of the components.
  • the mixture is free of lactose that is described as deleterious for chemical stability of cytisine and deleterious for patients with lactose intolerance.
  • EP2957280 discloses solid cytisine pharmaceutical composition in the form of tablets prepared by direct compression of a tableting mass, comprising 20 to 75% by weight of microcrystalline cellulose as a carrier, micronized cytisine, wherein at least 60% of cytisine particles have size from 10 pm to 200 pm, a diluent selected from mannitol, colloidal silicon dioxide and calcium hydrogen phosphate, a disintegrant, a binder, anti-adhesion agent and a glidant.

  • Relatively low cytisine content in a unit dosage form causes problems with proper homogeneity of and uniform distribution of the active substance in the composition used for tableting or filling the capsules.
  • geometric dilution should be used to ensure the uniform distribution of the active substance in the blend.
  • there is a problem with maintaining uniformity of the blend in time because of the segregation in time of the blend, especially when particles sizes of the active substance and the carrier differ.
  • Another problem is the influence of the size of the active substance on the dissolution and hence bioavailability.
  • Known solid compositions rely on using micronized cytisine to achieve proper homogeneity of tableting mass and even distribution of cytisine, and proper cytisine dissolution. This involves the necessity of careful control of the particle size of cytisine or both cytisine and microcrystalline cellulose carrier. Micronization of cytisine is necessary, this making the process of preparation more complex and costly.
