Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a soft capsule agent containing a medicine which becomes unproductive when mutually compounded as the content of the capsule. CONSTITUTION:A soft capsule agent is characterized in that one kind or more of medicines are contained in a coating film and the remaining medicines are intracapsularly contained but outside the coating film. The medicines contained in the coating film is a liposoluble medicine solid at the ordinary temperature, such as gamma-oryzanol. The content outside the coating film is an oily medicine or oily solvent used for conventional soft capsules.

2. Description of the Related Art When an oily liquid or semi-solid drug or a drug dissolved or suspended in an oily solvent is formulated, a soft capsule is often used. Conventionally, soft capsules are formed by coating gelatin with glycerin or the like, and contain a physiologically active substance such as a drug and an oily solvent for dissolving or mixing them. On the other hand, when a water-soluble drug is used as a soft capsule, a technique of dissolving it in a film is known.

In order to manufacture a soft capsule, it is necessary that the content be a liquid having physical properties suitable for filling. Therefore, when a solid lipophilic drug is dissolved or suspended at room temperature, the viscosity increases or solidification occurs, making it difficult to obtain a soft capsule. on the other hand,
Since the film of the soft capsule is water-soluble, it was considered difficult to incorporate the fat-soluble drug, and it has not been attempted. The present inventors have conducted extensive studies to solve the above problems, and have found that the problems can be solved by the means shown below, and have completed the present invention.

Means for Solving the Problems That is, the present invention provides a soft capsule, characterized in that one or more drugs are contained in a film and the remaining drug is contained in the contents. It is a capsule. In the present invention, the drug contained in the film is a fat-soluble drug that is solid at room temperature. The content usually contains an oily drug that is liquid at room temperature, an oily drug that is semi-solid at room temperature, an oily drug in which fine particles are suspended, or a drug dissolved or suspended in an oil solvent.

Examples of the drug contained in the film and solid at room temperature include gamma-oryzanol and phytosterol. As an oily substance which is liquid at room temperature, tocopherol is used. Examples thereof include cottonseed oil, cottonseed oil, raw falling oil, and synthetic oil such as glyceride of medium-chain fatty acid, and a drug in which an oil-soluble drug is dissolved may be used. In addition, the content is a semi-solid oily substance at room temperature such as higher fatty acid ester of glycerin such as oleic acid monoglyceride or higher fatty acid ester of propylene glycol, or a drug that is not soluble in oil or physiologically non-soluble such as light anhydrous silicic acid. It can also be an oily substance in which the active substance is suspended. The drug contained in the film can be contained in the content depending on its physicochemical properties and the amount used, and conversely, since the substance that is the content can also be contained in the film, It is possible to appropriately select which to contain depending on the actual purpose of use and manufacturing conditions.

The soft capsules according to the present invention can be produced by a commonly used method using a rotary type automatic filling machine. That is, purified water can be added to gelatin, glycerin, parabens, and the drug to be added to the film, and dissolved by heating to obtain a film solution. Further, the content can be obtained by mixing a drug and a solvent and heating and dissolving. A soft capsule can be manufactured by a conventional method using the coating solution and the contents thus obtained.

In order to fill the contents into the soft capsule, it is generally necessary that the viscosity of the contents is 50,000 millipascals or less. When a substance that is solid at room temperature is dissolved or dispersed, the viscosity becomes extremely high and it may not be possible to fill the soft capsule. In the present invention, the substance that increases the viscosity of the content to make it unfillable is contained in the film portion, so that the soft capsule can be produced without increasing the viscosity of the content.
