Description

A PELLET COMPOSITION COMPRISING PROPIVERINE OR A PHARMACEUTICALLY
ACCEPTABLE SALT THEREOF
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a pellet composition comprising propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for oral administration which is formulated as modified release.
Background of the Invention
Overactive bladder (OAB) and the related condition of urge urinary incontinence represent the other major disorder of the storage function. They are characterized by a frequent need to void (frequency), with an intense urge to do so (urgency) and a need to void during the night (nocturia). Contrary to stress urinary incontinence, OAB and urge incontinence are not associated with urethral sphincter control but rather involves disturbances in bladder functions and the regulation thereof.
Several classes of medications have been used to treat and manage overactive bladder, including antimuscarinic agents. Antimuscarinic agents, which exert their effects at muscarinic receptors and suppress or diminish the intensity of involuntary detrusor muscle contractions, are the first-choice pharmacotherapy for OAB, and may be the only therapy available whose efficacy is not in question. Propiverine hydrochloride is an extensively studied antimuscarinic and calcium channel blocker agent.
Propiverine is one of the most frequently prescribed antimuscarinic drugs used for the treatment of overactive bladder and urinary incontinence. The chemical name of propiverine is (l-methyl-4-piperidyl diphenylpropoxyacetate) and it is a benzylic acid derivative as shown in Formula I.
Formula I Propiverine is a BCS (Biopharmaceutical Classification System) Class III drug, which exhibits low permeability and high solubility.
Propiverine in the form of its hydrochloride salt in rapidly releasing oral dosage forms in several preparations, e.g. Mictonorm, has been on the market for years. The dosage used so far of e.g. three times a day of one pill of Mictonorm at 15 mg propiverine-hydrochloride each results in relatively heavily fluctuating blood levels with repeated daily peaks. Because of the anticholinergic effect of propiverine typical anticholinergic side effects like and accommodation disorders have to be accepted with a rapid increase in the blood level. Therefore, these side effects limit the amount of the possible unit dose of non-modified, rapidly releasing dosage forms to 10-20 mg.
Propiverine in the form of its hydrochloride salt is currently marketed under the trade names Mictonorm® / Detrunorm®/ Proprinorm® by Apogepha Arzneimittel GmbH in two different dosage forms as immediate -release (IR) and modified-release (MR).
TR 2012/11270 patent application discloses an oral pharmaceutical composition comprising propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as an anticholinergic active agent.
In the prior art, there are also several patents which disclose propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof in oral pharmaceutical dosage forms. However, many of the formulations in the art rely on a complex formulation which can add to the cost of the manufacture of the drug and it was formed without considering the physicochemical properties of the active substance.
Therefore, there is still need for a composition comprising propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof which overcomes the above described problems in the prior art and has additive advantages over them.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The main object of the present invention is to provide a composition comprising propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof having high stability by the help of using a pellet composition.
It is an additional object of the present invention to obtain a modified release dosage formulation for propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof that can provide continuous and therapeutic levels to the patient in need of such treatment for twenty-four (24h) hour period. More specifically, the present invention relates to an oral dosage form in the form of pellets comprising propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof wherein the release of the active ingredient is controlled with release modifying agent in the presence of pH adjusters.
The term “modified release” refers to any pharmaceutical formulation that maintain constant levels of a drug in the patient's bloodstream by releasing the drug over an extended period of time. Modified release is formulated to release the active ingredient gradually and predictably over a 12-hour to 24-hour period.
These physicochemical properties of propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof are thus not suitable for the realization of a modified release formulation. Because propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, especially propiverine hydrochloride, is sensitive to environmental conditions and excipients used. Therefore, the steps and polymers employed to make modified-release are important in the present invention.
Pellets can be blended to deliver incompatible active agents. The reproducibility of the pellet formulations is also much better than the reproducibility of the single-unit dosage forms. They are suitable systems for film coating with respect to the low surface area-volume ratios. Also, one of the advantageous properties of the pellet formulations is being good resistance to external factors such as moisture, air and light. Also, pellets have excellent flow properties. Considering all these advantages, the pellet form is best for use in propiverine-containing formulation.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a pellet composition comprises propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the pellet composition is formulated as modified release.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, propiverine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is propiverine hydrochloride.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of propiverine hydrochloride is present between 5.0% and 40.0%, 7.0% and 35.0%, 10.0% and 30.0%, 11.0% and 25.0%, 12.0% and 20.0%, 12.0% and 18.0% by weight of the pellet.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, propiverine hydrochloride is also present outside the pellet.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of propiverine hydrochloride is present between 1.0% and 30.0%, 1.0% and 25.0%, 1.0% and 20.0%, 1.0% and 15.0%, 1 .0% and 10.0%, 1.0% and 6.0% by weight of the total composition. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pellets further comprises at least one release modifying agent.
Suitable release modifying agent is selected from the group comprising poly(methacrylic acid-co-methylmethacrylate), poly(methyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate-co-methacrylic acid), ethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate trimellitate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose acetate succinate, poly(methacrylic acid-co- ethylacrylate), polyvinylchloride, polyvinyl acetate phthalate, poly(vinylpyrrolidone-co- vinylacetate), silicone elastomers, shellac, zein, rosin esters or mixtures thereof.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of the release modifying agent is between 1.0% and 25.0%, 2.0% and 20.0%, 3.0% and 15.0%, 5.0% and 10.0% by weight of the pellet.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the amount of the release modifying agent is between 0.5% and 10.0%, 1.0% and 8.0%, 1.0% and 6.0%, 1.0% and 4.0% by weight of the total composition.
An embodiment of this present invention, the release modifying agent is poly(methacrylic acid-co-methylmethacrylate) 1 :2 (Eudragit S 100) or poly(methacrylic acid-co- methylmethacrylate) 1 :1 (Eudragit L 100) or poly(methyl acrylate-co-methyl methacrylate-co- methacrylic acid) 7:3:1 (Eudragit FS 30 D) , they can be used together or separately.
The optimum amounts of the excipients, for example the composition of the corresponding mixtures depend on several factors, like for example the desired retarding effect, the kind of the release modifying agent having their specific solubility and permeability, and the ratio of acidic substance to active agent propiverine. These parameters vary completely independently from each other and are of essential importance for the controlled and long- lasting, modified release of the propiverine.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the preferred dosage forms are tablets or capsules filled with pellets as these are more convenient and easier to administer.
An embodiment of this present invention, the form of the composition is a tablet. Pellet is located within a tablet.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the tablet further comprises at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient which is selected from the group comprising fillers, pH adjusters, binders, disintegrants, plasticizers, lubricants, glidants, suspending agents, permeability enhancing agents or mixtures thereof.
