[Prior Art] Sustained-release tablets maintain drug efficacy over a long period of time by continuously releasing drugs, reducing the number of times patients have to take them, and drugs that cause toxicity and side effects when the blood concentration exceeds a certain level. It is a useful preparation that has been studied for the purpose of controlling its blood concentration below a certain value. Conventional sustained-release tablets include matrix-type tablets in which a drug is compressed with a water-soluble polymer or wax, and spasta tab-type tablets in which a rapidly dissolving portion and a sustained-release portion are mixed and compressed. Matrix-type sustained-release tablets elute using the driving force of the concentration gradient of the drug that occurs as water permeates, and are also called diffusion-limited tablets. Many wax matrix types are used. The gel matrix type is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (hereinafter referred to as HPMC)
Alone, or HPMC and methylcellulose (hereinafter referred to as MC), sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose (
This is a method in which a mixed base such as Na-CMC (hereinafter referred to as Na-CMC) is compressed together with the main drug.
This is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 58-174311. In addition, an improved method of spray-drying HPMC with tannic acid or acrylic acid-based polymers is shown in ``7th Formulation and Particle Design Symposium Abstracts, Page 165.'' On the other hand, the wax matrix type is a tablet made from a tablet powder obtained by treating the main drug with wax, and is disclosed in JP-A-56-14091. However, in the case of a gel matrix type drug with particularly high water solubility, its dissolution cannot be controlled unless a large amount of gel-forming base is used, and although improved versions have advantages, , the process is long and the operation is complicated. Furthermore, the wax matrix type uses wax that hardly dissolves or swells in the body's digestive juices, so it has the disadvantage that it is difficult to control its elution and the amount of elution tends to fluctuate with slight changes in the process.

[Means for Solving the Problems] As a result of intensive studies by the present inventors to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that by adding tannic acid to nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, a relatively small amount of nonionic cellulose can be reduced. The present invention was completed based on the discovery that tablets with excellent sustained release properties can be obtained even when the amount of ether is added. That is, the gist of the method for producing sustained-release tablets according to the present invention is to mix nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, tannic acid, and the active ingredient, and then tablet.

[0005] The details of the present invention will be explained below.
The nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether used in the present invention is preferably HPMC, MC or hydroxypropyl cellulose (hereinafter referred to as HPC), and these are used alone or in combination of two or more. These water-soluble cellulose ethers form a gel when they come into contact with water, and have the property of releasing the main drug from the gel layer by diffusion. In particular, HPMC and HPC are suitable for the present invention because they have excellent gel forming properties. moreover,
Among these, those with a high degree of polymerization (aqueous solution viscosity) have a stronger gel layer formed by contact with water than those with a low degree of polymerization, and have a greater ability to suppress the elution rate of the main drug. Depending on the selection, tablets with dissolution characteristics suited to the purpose can be obtained.

[0006] The amount of nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether added varies depending on the desired sustained release performance, but is usually 10 to 40% by weight, particularly 15 to 30% by weight based on the tablet.
Weight percent is preferred. If it is less than 10% by weight, the tablet will disintegrate at the beginning of dissolution and a large amount of drug will be released at once.
It becomes impossible to control the blood concentration of the drug at a constant level, making it impossible to fulfill its role as a sustained-release tablet. Moreover, if this exceeds 40% by weight, the elution rate in the latter half of elution will be significantly reduced. Note that since these matrix bases are added in relatively large amounts as described above, ionic cellulose ethers such as Na-CMC may react with the main drug, and therefore cannot be applied to the present invention.

[0007] Furthermore, the tannic acid used in the present invention may be commercially available, and the amount added varies depending on the desired sustained release performance or the nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether used. 1 to 60% by weight, especially 2 to 40% by weight based on water-soluble cellulose ether
is preferred. If the amount is less than 1% by weight, the effect of the addition is insufficient, and even if it exceeds 60% by weight, the effect of the addition will hardly change, so there is no need to add more than that.

[0008] By adding tannic acid to nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, sustained release performance can be obtained with a smaller amount added than when using cellulose ether alone. The reason for this is presumed to be as follows. . Generally, cellulose ethers form adducts with polyhydric phenols, but tannic acid, which is a type of polyhydric phenol, also forms adducts with water-soluble cellulose ethers, and becomes insoluble in water when added in large amounts. It is known. When the tablet of the present invention is taken, the tablet absorbs water and the water-soluble cellulose ether forms a gel layer, but the tannic acid added in advance forms an adduct with the cellulose ether, forming a stronger gel layer. It is thought that the diffusion rate of the main drug decreases due to the formation of .

[0009] The nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether and tannic acid may be mixed together in powder form before tabletting. To explain the production of this sustained-release agent in accordance with the actual formulation, nonionic water-soluble cellulose ether, tannic acid, and the active ingredient are thoroughly mixed using a V-type mixer, and then directly injected using a conventional method. The desired tablet can be obtained by tabletting. In addition, an appropriate amount of excipients such as starch and lactose or a lubricant such as magnesium stearate may be added to this tablet powder as necessary.
