Description

本発明は結晶セルロースを利用した造粒物の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a granulated product using crystalline cellulose.

結晶セルロースは繊維性植物から得られたα-セルロースを酸で部分的に解重合して精製したセルロースであり、化学的に不活性であることから薬物と混合した場合にも変化がなく、医薬品添加物として広く用いられている。打錠機で圧縮すると粒子が絡み合い容易に成型することができ、水分により容易に崩壊することや良好な流動性から錠剤の結合剤や崩壊剤としても優れた機能を有している(薬学用語解説、公益社団法人日本薬学会)。   Crystalline cellulose is cellulose that is purified by partially depolymerizing α-cellulose obtained from fibrous plants with acid, and since it is chemically inert, there is no change even when mixed with drugs. Widely used as an additive. When compressed by a tableting machine, the particles can be easily entangled and easily molded, and it has an excellent function as a binder and disintegrant for tablets due to its easy disintegration due to moisture and good fluidity (pharmaceutical terms Commentary, Japan Pharmaceutical Association).

一方、粉体の造粒により得られる球形に近い粒子を核粒子として用い、この核粒子に有効成分や必要に応じて賦形剤などを被覆することにより顆粒を調製して固形製剤を製造する方法が利用されている。核粒子としてはショ糖又はショ糖とデンプンを含む核粒子などが提案され実用化されており(特開昭61-1614号公報)、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロースを含む核粒子も提案されている(特開平5-163137号公報)。しかしながら、核としてショ糖あるいはショ糖とデンプンから成る核を用い、該核に結合剤溶液を用いて薬物含有する粉体を被覆する工程を含む製造方法においては、ショ糖の溶解が見られ、顆粒同士の凝集が観察される等の問題が生じる。   On the other hand, particles close to a sphere obtained by granulation of powder are used as core particles, and the core particles are coated with an active ingredient and, if necessary, excipients to prepare granules to produce a solid preparation The method is being used. As the core particles, core particles containing sucrose or sucrose and starch have been proposed and put to practical use (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-1614), and core particles containing low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose have also been proposed. (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-163137). However, in the production method including the step of using sucrose or nuclei consisting of sucrose and starch as a core and coating the core with a drug-containing powder using a binder solution, dissolution of sucrose is seen, Problems such as the aggregation of granules are observed.

この問題を解決するための手段として、例えば特開昭61-213201号に記載された結晶セルロース球形顆粒、及び特定の平均重合度を有する結晶セルロース(平均重合度60〜375の結晶セルロース)を50%以上含有する核粒子を調製する方法が提案されている(特開平7−173050号公報)。また、結晶セルロースと添加物を組み合わせて上記の問題を解決する手段として、平均重合度60〜375の結晶セルロースを10〜70%及び乳糖などの水溶性添加剤を10〜90%含有する核粒子 (特開平4-283520号公報)も提案されている。しかしながら、結晶セルロース球形顆粒は高い吸水能を有していることから、結晶セルロース球形顆粒に対して結合剤溶液を噴霧しながら造粒すると、結合剤の粘性が増し、造粒物同士の凝集や流動層造粒機の機壁への付着など製剤工程において種々の問題が生じる。   As means for solving this problem, for example, crystalline cellulose spherical granules described in JP-A-61-213201, and crystalline cellulose having a specific average degree of polymerization (crystalline cellulose having an average degree of polymerization of 60 to 375) are 50. A method for preparing core particles containing at least% is proposed (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-173050). Further, as means for solving the above problems by combining crystalline cellulose and additives, core particles containing 10 to 70% crystalline cellulose having an average degree of polymerization of 60 to 375 and 10 to 90% of a water-soluble additive such as lactose (JP-A-4-83520) has also been proposed. However, since the crystalline cellulose spherical granules have a high water absorption capacity, granulation while spraying the binder solution on the crystalline cellulose spherical granules increases the viscosity of the binder, causing aggregation between the granulated products and Various problems occur in the preparation process such as adhesion to the wall of the fluidized bed granulator.
