Abstract
医薬化合物及びワックス状物質を含む素粒剤に加熱処理を施し、該ワックス状物質が表面を湿潤する温度下で粉末状ワックス状物質を加え、該素粒剤表面に熱溶融コーティングを施すことによって、不快味を改善した被覆製剤を製造することができる。さらに、甘味剤と結合剤を溶解又は分散させた結合液を用いて、湿式法により造粒して得られた甘味細粒を該被覆製剤と混合し、服用性をさらに改善することができる。By subjecting a granule containing a pharmaceutical compound and a wax-like substance to heat treatment, adding a powdery wax-like substance at a temperature at which the wax-like substance wets the surface, and applying a hot melt coating on the surface of the granule A coated preparation with improved unpleasant taste can be produced. Furthermore, using a binding solution in which a sweetener and a binder are dissolved or dispersed, sweet fine granules obtained by granulation by a wet method can be mixed with the coated preparation to further improve the dosing property.
Description
本発明は被覆製剤の製造方法、特に不快味を有する医薬化合物を含む被覆製剤の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a coated preparation, and more particularly to a method for producing a coated preparation containing a pharmaceutical compound having an unpleasant taste.
医薬品が苦味等の不快味を伴う場合、患者が経口剤（特に、散剤や粒剤）として服用することは著しく困難である。そこで服用時の口中での不快味をマスキングするために被覆等の加工を施すことが考えられる。表面に白糖等のフィルムを形成させて苦味をマスキングするフィルムコーティング法が公知であるが、この糖衣工程は非常に煩雑である。また、これらの場合、薬物を粒子、錠剤等に成形後被覆するのが普通であるが、粒子径が小さくなるほど粉化しやすく不快味の漏出防止も困難である。矯味剤を添加する方法（特許文献１参照）もあるが、薬物の種類によっては効果が不充分である。 When a medicinal product has an unpleasant taste such as a bitter taste, it is extremely difficult for a patient to take it as an oral preparation (particularly, a powder or a granule). In order to mask the unpleasant taste in the mouth at the time of taking it, it is conceivable to apply a coating or the like. A film coating method is known in which a film of white sugar or the like is formed on the surface to mask the bitter taste, but this sugar coating process is very complicated. In these cases, the drug is usually coated after being formed into particles, tablets, etc., but as the particle diameter becomes smaller, it tends to be powdered and it is difficult to prevent unpleasant leakage. There is also a method of adding a corrigent (see Patent Document 1), but the effect is insufficient depending on the type of drug.
一般に最も多く用いられる被覆製剤の製造方法としては、ワックス状物質や水不溶性高分子等、口中で溶解しないコーティング剤を粒状物表面にコーティングする方法（特許文献２又は３参照）がある。従来は、特にコーティング剤として水不溶性高分子を用いる場合（特許文献３参照）、コーティング剤を有機溶媒に溶解させてスプレーコーティングを施す方法等が用いられてきた。しかしながら、有機溶媒を使用することは作業者への衛生上の悪影響、環境汚染及び製剤中への残留等、問題点が多い。コーティング前の造粒時に結合剤として、メタアクリル酸メチル−メタアクリル酸塩化トリメチルアンモニウム等の水不溶性高分子物質を用いる場合（特許文献４参照）も、造粒において大量の有機溶媒を使用しなければならない。そのため、スプレーコーティングと同様に、造粒操作時及び乾燥時の爆発や服用時の残留有機溶媒等、安全性に関する問題が残る。 In general, the most commonly used method for producing a coating preparation is a method of coating the surface of a granular material with a coating agent that does not dissolve in the mouth, such as a waxy substance or a water-insoluble polymer (see Patent Document 2 or 3). Conventionally, in particular, when a water-insoluble polymer is used as a coating agent (see Patent Document 3), a method of spray coating by dissolving the coating agent in an organic solvent has been used. However, the use of organic solvents has many problems such as adverse health effects on workers, environmental pollution, and residues in preparations. Even when using a water-insoluble polymer such as methyl methacrylate-trimethylammonium methacrylate as a binder during granulation before coating (see Patent Document 4), a large amount of organic solvent must be used for granulation. I must. Therefore, as with spray coating, there still remain safety issues such as granulation operations and explosions during drying and residual organic solvents during taking.
有機溶媒を用いることの無い被覆製剤の製造方法としては、固形薬剤にワックス類をワックス類の融点以上の温度で熱処理することを特徴とする被覆薬剤の製造方法が開示されている（特許文献２参照）。また、ワックス状物質を含む混合物を、水を用いて湿式法により造粒し、ワックス状物質の融点以上の温度で加熱処理する方法（特許文献５参照）も開示されている。これらの方法により、マスキング効果は高まるが、ワックス状物質を完全に溶融することにより、顆粒が完全に被覆されやすくなる。特に溶解性の低い、脂溶性の薬物は溶出性が低下し、体内での薬物の吸収時に障害となる。他に、ワックス状物質を含む混合物をワックス状物質の融点以上で加熱処理して造粒し、水不溶性高分子化合物の粉末をコーティング剤としてワックス状物質の融点以上で溶融コーティングを行う方法がある（特許文献６参照）。しかし、粉末状水不溶性高分子化合物をコーティング剤とする場合、粒状物に均一に付着させることが困難である。 As a method for producing a coated preparation without using an organic solvent, a method for producing a coated drug, characterized in that a solid drug is heat-treated at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the wax (Patent Document 2). reference). Also disclosed is a method (see Patent Document 5) in which a mixture containing a wax-like substance is granulated by a wet method using water and heated at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the wax-like substance. By these methods, the masking effect is enhanced, but by completely melting the wax-like substance, the granules are easily covered completely. In particular, lipophilic drugs with low solubility have a low elution property, which is an obstacle when the drug is absorbed in the body. In addition, there is a method in which a mixture containing a wax-like substance is heated and granulated at a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the wax-like substance, and a melt coating is performed at a temperature higher than the melting point of the wax-like substance using a water-insoluble polymer compound powder as a coating agent. (See Patent Document 6). However, when a powdery water-insoluble polymer compound is used as a coating agent, it is difficult to uniformly adhere to a granular material.
ワックス状物質を原薬等と共に混合し、乾式法により造粒後、ワックス状物質が少なくとも表面を覆うように加熱処理して得られる被覆製剤も開示されている（特許文献７参照）。しかし、この被覆製剤はマスキングが不完全であるため、粒子表面に原薬が表出し、苦みが感じられることが指摘されている。 There is also disclosed a coated preparation obtained by mixing a waxy substance together with a drug substance and the like, granulating by a dry method, and then heat-treating so that the waxy substance covers at least the surface (see Patent Document 7). However, it has been pointed out that this coated preparation is incompletely masked, so that the drug substance appears on the particle surface and bitterness is felt.
本発明の目的は、有効成分の薬効の発現や治療効果の減弱を伴うことなく、不快味を改善した被覆製剤の製造方法を提供することにある。 The objective of this invention is providing the manufacturing method of the coating formulation which improved the unpleasant taste, without accompanying the expression of the medicinal effect of an active ingredient, and attenuation of a therapeutic effect.
上記の製剤上の要望を充たす目的で、鋭意研究、検討を行った。その結果、医薬化合物及びワックス状物質を含む素粒剤に加熱処理を施し、該ワックス状物質が表面を湿潤する温度下で粉末状ワックス状物質を加え、該素粒剤表面に熱溶融コーティングを施すことにより、溶出性が確保され、不快味が抑制された被覆製剤を得ることができることを見出した。すなわち、本発明の製造方法による被覆製剤は、ワックス状物質で外部から適度に被覆することによって、不快味が抑制され、なおかつ溶出性が確保されている。 For the purpose of satisfying the above-mentioned formulation requirements, intensive studies and examinations were conducted. As a result, the granule containing the pharmaceutical compound and the wax-like substance is subjected to heat treatment, and the powdery wax-like substance is added at a temperature at which the wax-like substance wets the surface. It has been found that, by applying, a coated preparation in which dissolution property is ensured and unpleasant taste is suppressed can be obtained. That is, the coated preparation by the production method of the present invention is moderately coated from the outside with a wax-like substance, thereby suppressing unpleasant taste and ensuring dissolution.
また、該被覆製剤と共に服用する甘味細粒を製造する際に、甘味剤と結合剤を水溶液中に溶解又は分散させた結合液を用いて造粒することにより、得られる甘味細粒の甘味が増強することを見出した。この方法により甘味細粒を製造すると、口腔内での甘味剤の溶出が容易になるため、甘味が増強される。この甘味細粒を上記の被覆製剤と混合して服用することにより、さらに不快味を改善することができる。 In addition, when the sweet fine granules to be taken together with the coating preparation are produced, the sweetness of the obtained sweet fine granules is obtained by granulating using a binding solution in which a sweetener and a binder are dissolved or dispersed in an aqueous solution. It was found to enhance. When sweet granules are produced by this method, since the elution of the sweetener in the oral cavity is facilitated, the sweetness is enhanced. An unpleasant taste can be further improved by mixing this sweet fine granule with said coating preparation and taking it.

The coated preparation shows almost no delay in dissolution rate. In addition, the unpleasant taste can be further improved by mixing and taking sweet fine granules having an enhanced dissolution rate with the coated preparation.
本明細書において、「不快味」とは服用者が口中に含んだとき味覚・嗅覚で不快に感じるものをいい、例えば苦味、辛味、渋味、さらに不快臭をも含む。 In the present specification, “unpleasant taste” means that the user feels unpleasant with the taste and smell when contained in the mouth, and includes, for example, bitterness, pungent taste, astringency, and unpleasant odor.
「医薬化合物」とは、製薬上許容される化合物、その塩又はそれらの水和物である。本発明による被覆製剤に適用し得る医薬化合物、特に不快味を有する医薬化合物として、例えば、ペニシリン系のフルクロキサシリンナトリウム、塩酸タランピシリン、トシル酸スルタミシリン及び塩酸バカンピシリン、セフェム系のセファクロル、セフポドキシムプロキセチル、セフチアムヘキセチル、セフロキシムアキセチル、塩酸セフカペンピボキシル及びセフテラムピボキシル、又はマクロライド系のエリスロマイシン等の抗生物質；ロメフロキサシン、ノルフロキサシン、オフロキサシン、エノキサシン、ピペミド酸等のキノロン系抗菌剤；臭化水素酸デキストロメトルファン、クエン酸イソアミニル及びリン酸ジメモルファン等の鎮咳去痰薬；アセトアミノフェン、ケトプロフェン及びトルフェナム酸等の解熱鎮痛消炎薬；塩酸ジフェンヒドラミン及び塩酸プロメタジン等の抗ヒスタミン剤；その他に塩酸ジセチアミンを挙げることができる。特に、溶解性の低い医薬化合物を用いる場合、溶出性を確保しながら、不快味を抑制するという、優れた効果を得ることができる。従って、溶解性の低い医薬化合物、例えば、（＋）−（６Ｒ、７Ｒ）−７−［（Ｚ）−２−（２−アミノ−４−チアゾリル）−２−ペンテンアミド］−３−カルバモイルオキシメチル−８−オキソ−５−チア−１−アザビシクロ［４．２．０］オクト−２−エン−２−カルボン酸ピバロイルオキシメチルエステル塩酸塩・１水和物が好ましい。 The “pharmaceutical compound” is a pharmaceutically acceptable compound, a salt thereof or a hydrate thereof.

In particular, when a pharmaceutical compound with low solubility is used, an excellent effect of suppressing unpleasant taste while ensuring dissolution can be obtained. Accordingly, pharmaceutical compounds with low solubility, such as (+)-(6R, 7R) -7-[(Z) -2- (2-amino-4-thiazolyl) -2-pentenamide] -3-carbamoyloxy Methyl-8-oxo-5-thia-1-azabicyclo [4.2.0] oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid pivaloyloxymethyl ester hydrochloride monohydrate is preferred.
ワックス状物質は、室温付近で固体状であるが、加熱により容易に軟化及び溶融するものであれば製薬上許容されるものを幅広く使用することができる。例えば、硬化油（硬化ヒマシ油、硬化大豆油、硬化ナタネ油等）、高級アルコ−ル（ステアリルアルコ−ル、セタノ−ル等）、高級脂肪酸（ステアリン酸、パルミチン酸等）、植物性又は動物性脂肪（牛脂、カルナウバロウ）、ロウ、ポリエチレングリコ−ル（ＰＥＧ：マクロゴ−ル４０００、マクロゴ−ル６０００等）等が例示される。工業的実施の面からは、その融点が約４０℃〜約１００℃の範囲内のものが好ましい。特に好ましくは硬化油である。参考までに各ワックス状物質の融点（℃）を例示すると、ステアリルアルコ−ル（約５９）、セタノ−ル（約４９）、ステアリン酸（約７１）、パルミチン酸（約６３）、カルナウバロウ（約７８〜８４）、硬化油（ヤシ油：約４３〜４５、パ−ム油：約５６〜５８、綿実油：約６２〜６３、大豆油：約６９〜７１、ヒマシ油：約８６〜９０）、ＰＥＧ６０００（約５８〜６５）である。 The wax-like substance is solid around room temperature, but a wide variety of pharmaceutically acceptable substances can be used as long as it is easily softened and melted by heating. For example, hardened oil (hardened castor oil, hardened soybean oil, hardened rapeseed oil etc.), higher alcohol (stearyl alcohol, cetanol etc.), higher fatty acid (stearic acid, palmitic acid etc.), vegetable or animal Examples thereof include beef fat (beef tallow, carnauba wax), wax, polyethylene glycol (PEG: macrogol 4000, macrogol 6000, etc.) and the like. From the viewpoint of industrial implementation, those having a melting point in the range of about 40 ° C to about 100 ° C are preferred. Particularly preferred is hydrogenated oil. For reference, the melting point (° C.) of each waxy substance is exemplified by stearyl alcohol (about 59), cetanol (about 49), stearic acid (about 71), palmitic acid (about 63), carnauba wax (about 78-84), hydrogenated oil (coconut oil: about 43-45, palm oil: about 56-58, cottonseed oil: about 62-63, soybean oil: about 69-71, castor oil: about 86-90), PEG 6000 (about 58-65).
素粒剤を製造する前に使用されるワックス状物質（以下、「内添加ワックス状物質」と称することもある。）としては、加熱により容易に溶融することができるものが好ましい。硬化油、ステアリルアルコール、ステアリン酸、ポリエチレングリコール等が挙げられる。 As the wax-like substance (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “internally added wax-like substance”) used before producing the granule, those that can be easily melted by heating are preferable. Hardened oil, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid, polyethylene glycol and the like can be mentioned.
得られた素粒剤の外部コーティングに使用される粉末状ワックス状物質（以下、「外添加ワックス状物質」と称することもある。）としては、不快味を抑制するために、疎水性のものが好ましい。硬化油、ステアリルアルコール、ステアリン酸、ポリエチレングリコール等が挙げられる。粒子径の大きなワックス状物質を使用した場合、溶融したワックス状物質が核となり、粗大粒子が生成されるため、外添加ワックス状物質の形状は、被覆しようとする素粒剤より小さな粉末状が好ましい。該粉末状ワックス状物質の平均粒子径が、該素粒剤の平均粒子径よりも小さいものが好ましい。粉末状ワックス状物質の平均粒子径については、通常約１００μｍ以下のものが使用され、好ましくは約５０μｍ以下である。 The powdery wax-like substance (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “externally added wax-like substance”) used for the external coating of the obtained granules is a hydrophobic substance in order to suppress unpleasant taste. Is preferred. Hardened oil, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid, polyethylene glycol and the like can be mentioned. When a wax-like substance having a large particle size is used, the melted wax-like substance serves as a nucleus and coarse particles are generated. Therefore, the shape of the externally added wax-like substance is smaller than that of the granule to be coated. preferable. It is preferable that the average particle size of the powdery wax-like substance is smaller than the average particle size of the granule. The average particle size of the powdery wax-like substance is usually about 100 μm or less, preferably about 50 μm or less.
これまでは、流動層を用いてワックス状物質でコーティング処理する際、ワックス粒子が流動中に飛散してしまうため、ワックス状物質の形状が被覆処理しようとする粒子よりも大きくなければならないとされてきた（特開平１−２８７０２１号公報参照）。しかし、本法では素粒剤にもワックス状物質を配合し、熱溶融コーティングの際に内部のワックス状物質が溶融した状態で、素粒剤と外部の粉末状ワックス状物質との結合剤として働くことによって、ワックス粒子が流動中に飛散する問題を解消することができる。 Until now, when coating with a waxy substance using a fluidized bed, the wax particles would scatter during the flow, so the shape of the waxy substance must be larger than the particles to be coated. (See Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 1-287021). However, in this method, a wax-like substance is also blended into the elementary particles, and the inner wax-like substance is melted during hot melt coating, and as a binder between the elementary granules and the external powdery wax-like substance. By working, the problem that the wax particles are scattered during the flow can be solved.
内添加ワックス状物質と外添加ワックス状物質は、同じワックス状物質を用いてもよく、異なるワックス状物質を用いてもよい。 As the internally added wax-like substance and the externally added wax-like substance, the same wax-like substance may be used, or different wax-like substances may be used.
異なるワックス状物質を用いる場合、内添加ワックス状物質としては、外添加ワックス状物質と比べて融点が同等あるいは低いものが好ましい。この場合、素粒剤の加熱処理は内添加ワックス状物質の融点付近で行い、外添加ワックス状物質を加えた後、熱溶融コーティング工程中に温度を上昇させ、終了時には外添加ワックス状物質の融点付近に調節する。異なるワックス状物質の組み合わせとしては、内添加ワックス状物質が親水性かつ粉末状のもの、かつ外添加ワックス状物質が疎水性かつ粉末状のものである組み合わせが好ましい。特に、内添加ワックス状物質にポリエチレングリコール（ＰＥＧ６０００粉末）かつ外添加ワックス状物質に硬化ヒマシ油の組み合わせが好ましい。 When a different wax-like substance is used, it is preferable that the internally added wax-like substance has the same or lower melting point than the externally added wax-like substance. In this case, the heat treatment of the granule is performed near the melting point of the internally added wax-like substance, and after adding the externally added wax-like substance, the temperature is increased during the hot melt coating process, and at the end of the externally added wax-like substance, Adjust to near melting point. As a combination of different wax-like substances, a combination in which the internally added wax-like substance is hydrophilic and powdery and the externally added waxy substance is hydrophobic and powdery is preferable. In particular, a combination of polyethylene glycol (PEG 6000 powder) as the internally added waxy substance and hardened castor oil as the externally added waxy substance is preferable.
「該ワックス状物質が表面を湿潤する温度下」の「表面を湿潤する」とは、内添加ワックス状物質が加熱により軟化し、素粒剤の表面に表出している状態を示す。このような状態の内添加ワックス状物質が素粒剤と外部の粉末状ワックス状物質の結合剤として働き得る。 “Wet the surface” in “at a temperature at which the wax-like substance wets the surface” indicates a state in which the internally added wax-like substance is softened by heating and is exposed on the surface of the granule. The internally added wax-like substance in such a state can act as a binder between the granule and the external powdery wax-like substance.
また、水膨潤性物質は、水にはほとんど溶解しないが、形状を保ちながら吸水しつつ膨張し、マトリックス構造を形成するものである。水膨潤性物質の例としては、カルボキシメチルセルロースカルシウム、クロスカルメロースナトリウム（架橋ＣＭＣ−Ｎａ）、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース（Ｌ−ＨＰＣ）等のセルロース誘導体；部分アルファ化スターチ（ＰＣＳ）、カルボキシメチルスターチナトリウム（ＣＭＳ−Ｎａ）等の各種デンプン類；クロスポピドン等の合成高分子化合物が挙げられる。 The water-swellable substance is hardly dissolved in water, but expands while absorbing water while maintaining its shape, thereby forming a matrix structure. Examples of water-swellable substances include cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylcellulose calcium, croscarmellose sodium (cross-linked CMC-Na), low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose (L-HPC); partially pregelatinized starch (PCS), carboxymethyl Various starches such as starch sodium (CMS-Na); and synthetic polymer compounds such as crospovidone.
ワックス状物質として、硬化油、ステアリルアルコール、ステアリン酸、ポリエチレングリコールを使用する場合、本発明において使用される素粒剤は、本発明を適用し得る医薬化合物約４０重量％以下、好ましくは約２５重量％以下、ワックス状物質約５〜約２５重量％、好ましくは約５〜約１５重量％、水膨潤性物質約５〜約３５重量％、好ましくは約２０〜約３５重量％を含む混合物を、造粒することにより得られる。また、本発明の被覆製剤は、上記素粒剤を加熱処理した後、粉末状ワックス状物質約５〜約２５重量％、好ましくは約５〜約１５重量％を加え、熱溶融コーティングすることにより得られる。なお、各重量％は、被覆製剤の総重量に対する割合を意味する。 When hardened oil, stearyl alcohol, stearic acid, polyethylene glycol is used as the wax-like substance, the granule used in the present invention is about 40% by weight or less, preferably about 25% by weight of the pharmaceutical compound to which the present invention can be applied. A mixture comprising up to about 5% by weight, about 5 to about 25% by weight of a waxy material, preferably about 5 to about 15% by weight, about 5 to about 35% by weight of a water-swellable material, preferably about 20 to about 35% by weight. Obtained by granulation. In addition, the coated preparation of the present invention is obtained by subjecting the above-mentioned granule to a heat treatment, and then adding about 5 to about 25% by weight, preferably about 5 to about 15% by weight of a powdery wax-like substance, followed by hot melt coating. can get. In addition, each weight% means the ratio with respect to the total weight of a coating formulation.
ワックス状物質の内添加量と外添加量を合計した総添加量が過多であると、体内で顆粒が崩壊しにくくなり内包成分の溶出性が低下する。逆に、過少であると口腔内での漏出の抑制が不充分となる。なお、ここで、ワックス状物質の内添加量、外添加量とは、それぞれ、内添加ワックス状物質、外添加ワックス状物質の量を意味する。ワックス状物質の総添加量は被覆製剤の総重量に対し、約１０〜約５０重量％が好ましい。 If the total addition amount of the internal addition amount and the external addition amount of the wax-like substance is excessive, the granules are difficult to disintegrate in the body and the elution of the encapsulated component is reduced. On the other hand, if the amount is too small, the suppression of leakage in the oral cavity will be insufficient. Here, the internal addition amount and external addition amount of the wax-like substance mean the amounts of the internal addition wax-like substance and the external addition wax-like substance, respectively. The total amount of the waxy substance is preferably about 10 to about 50% by weight based on the total weight of the coating preparation.
ワックス状物質の総添加量に対する外添加量（外添率）は、ワックス状物質の種類により変動する。 The external addition amount (external addition rate) with respect to the total addition amount of the wax-like substance varies depending on the type of the wax-like substance.
疎水性の低いワックス状物質を使用する場合、外添率が高くても溶出性を維持しながら、漏出を抑制することができるが、外添率が低いと口腔内での漏出の抑制が不充分となる。従って、疎水性の低いワックス状物質を使用する場合、外添加量が多い場合が好ましい。例えば、ポリエチレングリコールの場合、外添加率は５０〜８０％、特に７０％が好ましい。また、疎水性の低いワックス状物質を使用する場合、ワックス状物質の総添加量は、多い方が好ましい。例えば、ワックス状物質の総添加量が、被覆製剤の総重量に対し、約２０〜５０重量％である場合が好ましい。このようなワックス状物質としては、例えば、ポリエチレングリコール等が挙げられる。 When using a waxy substance with low hydrophobicity, leakage can be suppressed while maintaining elution even if the external addition rate is high. However, if the external addition rate is low, leakage in the oral cavity cannot be suppressed. It will be enough. Accordingly, when a waxy substance having low hydrophobicity is used, it is preferable that the amount of external addition is large. For example, in the case of polyethylene glycol, the external addition rate is preferably 50 to 80%, particularly preferably 70%. Further, when a waxy substance having low hydrophobicity is used, it is preferable that the total amount of the waxy substance added is large. For example, it is preferable that the total amount of the wax-like substance added is about 20 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the coated preparation. Examples of such a wax-like substance include polyethylene glycol.
逆に、疎水性の高いワックス状物質を使用する場合、外添率が高いと体内で顆粒が崩壊しにくくなり内包成分の溶出性が低下するが、外添率が低くても漏出を抑制しながら、溶出性を維持することができる。従って、疎水性の高いワックス状物質を使用する場合、外添加量が少ない場合が好ましい。例えば、硬化ヒマシ油の場合、外添加率は約２０〜６０％、特に５０％が好ましい。また、疎水性の高いワックス状物質を使用する場合、ワックス状物質の総添加量は、少ない方が好ましい。例えば、ワックス状物質の総添加量が、被覆製剤の総重量に対し、約１０〜３０重量％である場合が好ましい。このようなワックス状物質としては、例えば、硬化油等が挙げられる。 Conversely, when using a waxy substance with high hydrophobicity, if the external addition rate is high, the granules are less likely to disintegrate in the body and the dissolution of the encapsulated components decreases, but leakage is suppressed even if the external addition rate is low. However, the dissolution property can be maintained. Therefore, when a waxy substance having high hydrophobicity is used, it is preferable that the amount of external addition is small. For example, in the case of hydrogenated castor oil, the external addition rate is preferably about 20 to 60%, particularly 50%. Moreover, when using a highly hydrophobic wax-like substance, it is preferable that the total amount of wax-like substance added is small. For example, it is preferable that the total amount of the wax-like substance added is about 10 to 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of the coated preparation. Examples of such a wax-like substance include hardened oil.
また、水膨潤性崩壊剤が過少であると、体内で顆粒が崩壊しにくくなり内包成分の溶出性が低下する。逆に、水膨潤性崩壊剤が過多であると、口腔内での漏出の抑制が不充分となる。 On the other hand, if the water-swellable disintegrant is too small, the granules are difficult to disintegrate in the body, and the elution of the encapsulated component is reduced. On the other hand, when the water-swellable disintegrant is excessive, the suppression of leakage in the oral cavity is insufficient.

湿式法を用いる場合、溶媒としては水を用いることが好ましい。また、水溶性結合剤としては、セルロ−ス類（ヒドロキシプロピルセルロ−ス（ＨＰＣ）、ヒドロキシプロピルメチルセルロ−ス（ＨＰＭＣ）、メチルセルロ−ス）、澱粉類（馬鈴薯澱粉、α化澱粉、コーンスタ−チ）、ポリビニルピロリドン（ＰＶＰ）等が例示される。使用割合は、造粒用混合物に対して、約１〜約５重量％である。 When using the wet method, it is preferable to use water as the solvent. Examples of water-soluble binders include celluloses (hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), methylcellulose), starches (potato starch, pregelatinized starch, corn starch). H), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the like. The proportion used is about 1 to about 5% by weight, based on the granulation mixture.
本発明の被覆製剤は、例えば、医薬化合物、特に不快味を有する医薬化合物約４０重量％以下、ワックス状物質約５〜約２５重量％及び水膨潤性物質約５〜約３５重量％、必要とあれば、結合剤、滑沢剤、嬌味剤、着色剤等のその他添加剤からなる混合粉末を、湿式法又は乾式法により造粒、整粒して、任意の粒子径に調整し、ついでワックス状物質が結合剤として働くように加熱処理し、さらに粉末状ワックス状物質約５〜約２５重量％を加えて、熱溶融コーティングすることを特徴とする製造方法により容易に製造し得る。 The coated preparation of the present invention may contain, for example, about 40% by weight or less of a pharmaceutical compound, particularly a pharmaceutical compound having an unpleasant taste, about 5 to about 25% by weight of a waxy substance, and about 5 to about 35% by weight of a water-swellable substance. If there is, a mixed powder composed of other additives such as a binder, lubricant, flavoring agent, and coloring agent is granulated and sized by a wet method or a dry method, and adjusted to an arbitrary particle size. It can be easily produced by a production method characterized by heat-treating the waxy substance so as to act as a binder, and adding about 5 to about 25% by weight of a powdery waxy substance, followed by hot melt coating.
各粉末成分の混合、造粒、整粒は、常法に従って行うことができる。例えば乾式法を用いる場合、粉末の造粒は、打錠機、ロール圧縮機等のプレス機で５０〜１００ＭＰａの圧力でスラッグ状、フレーク状に圧縮成形し、次いで架砕方式の整粒機で３５０〜１４１０μｍ（顆粒剤）、７５〜５００μｍ（細粒剤）等、任意の粒度に調整して行う。本製法で得られる素粒剤（加熱処理前の粒剤をいう。以下同じ。）は、構成成分のワックス状物質、水膨潤性物質が均一に分散し、かつ圧縮によりワックス状物質の一部が展延しているものと推定される。 Mixing, granulation, and sizing of each powder component can be performed according to a conventional method. For example, when the dry method is used, the granulation of the powder is performed by compression molding into a slug shape or flake shape at a pressure of 50 to 100 MPa with a press such as a tableting machine or a roll compressor, and then with a crushing type granulator. It adjusts to arbitrary particle sizes, such as 350-1410 micrometers (granule) and 75-500 micrometers (fine granule). The elementary granule obtained by this production method (referred to as a granule before heat treatment; the same shall apply hereinafter) is a component in which a waxy substance and a water-swellable substance are uniformly dispersed, and a part of the waxy substance is compressed by compression. Is presumed to be spreading.
ついで、この素粒剤を加熱処理した後、粉末状ワックス状物質を加えることにより、熱溶融コーティング粒剤（加熱しながらワックスコーティング処理した後の粒剤をいう。以下同じ。）を調製する。 Next, after heat-treating this elementary granule, a powdery wax-like substance is added to prepare a hot-melt coating granule (referred to as a granule after being wax-coated while being heated, the same applies hereinafter).
熱溶融コーティング工程において、粉末状ワックス状物質の添加前及び添加時の加熱は、内添加ワックス状物質が軟化するに十分な温度で十分な時間行われる。加熱温度は、通常約４０℃以上で、内添加ワックス状物質の融点以下が好ましい。すなわち、加熱温度は、該工程間に内添加ワックス状物質が素粒剤表面を湿潤し得る温度以上であればよい。この処理により溶融された内添加ワックス状物質は、素粒剤表面で外添加ワックス状物質の結合剤として作用する。従って、加熱温度は内添加ワックス状物質の融点により変動する。内添加ワックス状物質は、好ましくは約４０〜約９０℃、特に好ましくは約５０〜約８５℃で軟化するものがよい。 In the hot melt coating process, the heating before and during the addition of the powdery wax-like substance is performed at a temperature sufficient for softening the internally added wax-like substance for a sufficient time. The heating temperature is usually about 40 ° C. or higher and preferably below the melting point of the internally added wax-like substance. That is, the heating temperature only needs to be equal to or higher than the temperature at which the internally added wax-like substance can wet the granule surface during the process. The internally added wax-like substance melted by this treatment acts as a binder for the externally added wax-like substance on the surface of the granule. Accordingly, the heating temperature varies depending on the melting point of the internally added wax-like substance. The internally added wax-like substance should preferably soften at about 40 to about 90 ° C, particularly preferably about 50 to about 85 ° C.
粉末状ワックス状物質の添加後の加熱は、外添加ワックス状物質が軟化するに十分な温度で十分な時間行われる。加熱温度は、通常約４０℃以上で、外添加ワックス状物質の融点以下が好ましい。従って、加熱温度は外添加ワックス状物質の融点により変動する。外添加ワックス状物質は、好ましくは約４０〜約９０℃、特に好ましくは約５０〜約８５℃で軟化するものがよい。 The heating after the addition of the powdery waxy substance is performed at a temperature sufficient for the externally added waxy substance to be softened and for a sufficient time. The heating temperature is usually about 40 ° C. or higher and preferably below the melting point of the externally added wax-like substance. Accordingly, the heating temperature varies depending on the melting point of the externally added wax-like substance. The externally added wax-like substance is preferably softened at about 40 to about 90 ° C, particularly preferably at about 50 to about 85 ° C.
熱溶融コーティング工程において、加熱温度が高すぎる場合、内添加ワックス状物質及び外添加ワックス状物質が完全融解し、ワックス状物質による顆粒の被覆が完全となるため、体内で顆粒が崩壊しにくくなり、内包成分の溶出性が低下する。逆に、加熱温度が低すぎる場合、内添加ワックス状物質が外添加ワックス状物質の結合剤として働かず、また、外添加ワックス状物質が素粒剤表面で十分に展延しないため、顆粒の被覆が過少となり、口腔内での漏出の抑制が不充分となる。 In the hot melt coating process, when the heating temperature is too high, the internally added wax-like substance and the externally added wax-like substance are completely melted and the coating of the granules with the wax-like substance is complete, so that the granules are not easily disintegrated in the body. , The elution of the encapsulated component is reduced. On the other hand, if the heating temperature is too low, the internally added waxy substance does not act as a binder for the externally added waxy substance, and the externally added waxy substance does not spread sufficiently on the surface of the granule. The coating becomes insufficient, and the suppression of leakage in the oral cavity is insufficient.
加熱温度が適温に達した時点で、粉末状ワックス状物質を加え、素粒剤表面に熱溶融コーティングを施す。コーティング時間は、好ましくは約１０〜約９０分間、特に好ましくは約２０〜約６０分間である。熱溶融コーティングに適した装置として、流動層乾燥装置が挙げられる。 When the heating temperature reaches an appropriate temperature, a powdery wax-like substance is added and a hot melt coating is applied to the surface of the granule. The coating time is preferably about 10 to about 90 minutes, particularly preferably about 20 to about 60 minutes. An apparatus suitable for hot melt coating includes a fluidized bed drying apparatus.
通常、流動層で粉末コーティングを行う場合、均一にコーティングすることが非常に困難である。しかし、本法を用いることにより、粉末状ワックス状物質を添加した際に不均一であっても、流動層乾燥装置（フローコーター ＦＬＯ−５型；大河原製作所）により加熱しながら流動させることによりワックス状物質は軟化し、素粒剤表面で展延し、均一化されていく。このことから、本法は非常に簡易な外部コーティング方法を提供する。 Usually, when powder coating is performed in a fluidized bed, it is very difficult to coat uniformly. However, by using this method, even if the powdery wax-like substance is added non-uniformly, the wax is made to flow while heating with a fluidized bed drying apparatus (flow coater FLO-5 type; Okawara Seisakusho). The material is softened, spreads on the surface of the granule, and becomes uniform. For this reason, the present method provides a very simple external coating method.
以下に本発明に関わる被覆製剤の製造方法について詳細に説明する。本明細書において、特に指示のない限り、当該分野で公知である製剤工程が採用される。 Below, the manufacturing method of the coating formulation in connection with this invention is demonstrated in detail. In this specification, unless otherwise indicated, formulation steps known in the art are employed.
まず、医薬化合物、特に不快味を有する医薬化合物約４０重量％以下、ワックス状物質約５〜約２５重量％及び水膨潤性物質約５〜約３５重量％、必要とあれば、結合剤、滑沢剤、嬌味剤、着色剤等のその他添加剤を混合する。この混合粉末を、圧縮してフレーク状に成形後、破砕する。その後、ふるい機で分級し、任意の粒子径に調整することにより、素粒剤を得る。（造粒工程） First, pharmaceutical compounds, particularly pharmaceutical compounds having an unpleasant taste of about 40% by weight or less, waxy substances of about 5 to about 25% by weight and water-swellable substances of about 5 to about 35% by weight. Mix other additives such as swamps, flavoring agents, and coloring agents. This mixed powder is compressed and formed into flakes and then crushed. Then, it classifies with a sieving machine and adjusts to an arbitrary particle diameter to obtain a granule. (Granulation process)
次に、ワックス状物質が表面を湿潤するように素粒剤を加熱し、その状態下で粉末状ワックス状物質（約５〜約２５重量％）を加える。その後、加熱状態下で、一定時間、流動させることにより熱溶融コーティング粒剤を得る。（熱溶融コーティング工程） Next, the granule is heated so that the wax-like substance wets the surface, and a powdery wax-like substance (about 5 to about 25% by weight) is added under the condition. Then, a hot melt coating granule is obtained by making it flow for a fixed time under a heating state. (Hot melt coating process)
また、口腔内において不快味を改善するために、甘味剤を含む該被覆製剤を造粒することができる。又は、甘味細粒を造粒して該被覆製剤と混合することができる。甘味剤としては、例えば、乳糖、白糖、粉末還元麦芽糖水あめ、ブドウ糖、キシリトール、マンニトール、ソルビトール、マルト−ス、エリスリトール、アスパルテーム、サッカリン、サッカリンナトリウム、アセスルファムカリウム又はグリチルリチン酸二カリウム等が用いられる。 Moreover, in order to improve unpleasant taste in the oral cavity, the coated preparation containing a sweetener can be granulated. Alternatively, sweet granules can be granulated and mixed with the coating formulation. Examples of the sweetener include lactose, sucrose, powdered reduced maltose starch syrup, glucose, xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, maltose, erythritol, aspartame, saccharin, sodium saccharin, acesulfame potassium, dipotassium glycyrrhizinate, and the like.
甘味細粒を該被覆製剤と混合する場合、通常の方法で製した甘味細粒を使用することができる。例えば、甘味剤を混合し、適量の水を加え練合し、練合物を押出し造粒で製し、乾燥することにより得ることができる。 When sweet granules are mixed with the coated preparation, sweet granules produced by a conventional method can be used. For example, it can be obtained by mixing sweeteners, adding an appropriate amount of water and kneading, extruding the kneaded material by extrusion granulation, and drying.
本発明は、上記の甘味細粒より、甘味が増した甘味細粒を提供する。すなわち、本発明における甘味細粒は、甘味剤の溶出性を改善するために、甘味剤を造粒する際、一部の甘味剤を可溶化作用のある結合剤と共に水に溶解又は分散させたものを結合液として、残りの甘味剤に加え、練合し、練合物を造粒し、乾燥することによって得ることができる。 The present invention provides sweet granules having an increased sweetness than the above-described sweet granules. That is, in order to improve the elution property of the sweetener, the sweet fine granules in the present invention were dissolved or dispersed in water together with a binder having a solubilizing action when the sweetener was granulated. It can be obtained by adding a thing as a binding liquid to the remaining sweetener, kneading, granulating the kneaded product, and drying.
この甘味細粒を上記の被覆製剤と混合して服用することにより、さらに不快味を改善することができる。 An unpleasant taste can be further improved by mixing this sweet fine granule with said coating preparation and taking it.

試験例１The sweet fine granules in the present invention are granulated by a wet method using a sweetener and a binding solution in which the sweetener is dissolved or dispersed in water together with a binder. As the sweetening agent, the above-mentioned sweetening agents can be used. As the binder, the water-soluble binders described above can be used. In particular, a binder having a surface active action, such as hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and the like are preferable.

味覚官能試験
実施例３および参考例３の甘味粒剤を、それぞれ実施例１の熱溶融コーティング粒剤と１：１の比率で混合し、味覚官能試験を行った。
それぞれの複合粒剤１ｇを６人分用意した。６名のパネリストのうち、半数の３名はＡ（実施例３の甘味粒剤と実施例１の熱溶融コーティング粒剤の複合粒剤）を服用したのち、水で口をゆすぎＢ（参考例３の甘味粒剤と実施例１の熱溶融コーティング粒剤の複合粒剤）を服用した。残りの３名はＢ、Ａの順に服用した。パネリストはどちらの粒剤の苦味を強く感じたか、官能評価を行った。Taste sensory test The sweet taste granules of Example 3 and Reference Example 3 were mixed with the hot melt coating granules of Example 1 at a ratio of 1: 1, respectively, and a taste sensory test was conducted.
1 g of each composite granule was prepared for 6 persons.

The remaining 3 patients took B and A in that order. The panelists conducted a sensory evaluation to determine which granule had a strong bitter taste.
Ａ、Ｂの粒剤は組成が同一であるにも関わらず、上記に示すように、６名のパネリスト全員がＢの苦味を強く感じた。これは、甘味剤であるアスパルテームを少量のヒドロキシプロピルセルロースとともに結合液中に分散させたため、甘味が増強された結果である。 Although the composition of the granules of A and B was the same, as shown above, all six panelists strongly felt B's bitterness. This is a result of enhanced sweetness because aspartame, which is a sweetener, was dispersed in a binding solution together with a small amount of hydroxypropylcellulose.
