Description

本発明は、口腔内の唾液の存在下又は少量の水の存在下において速やかに崩壊する口腔内速崩壊性錠剤に関し、更に詳しくは、有用菌を含有し、長期間の保存安定性にも優れた口腔内速崩壊性錠剤に関する。   The present invention relates to an orally rapidly disintegrating tablet that rapidly disintegrates in the presence of saliva in the oral cavity or in the presence of a small amount of water, and more particularly contains useful bacteria and is excellent in long-term storage stability. The present invention relates to an orally rapidly disintegrating tablet.

ヒトの腸内には腸内細菌が存在しており、最近では腸管全体には100兆個もの腸内細菌がいると言われ、腸内細菌叢を形成している。腸内細菌にはビフィズス菌や乳酸菌などの有用菌又は善玉菌と大腸菌やウェルシュ菌などの悪玉菌とがあり、これらの細菌のバランスが保たれてヒトに有用な働きをもたらしている。このバランスが乱れると栄養成分の分解、消化、吸収、免疫、感染防御、老化などに影響を与え、腸内細菌叢のバランス維持がヒトの健康に深く関わっていることが近年知られてきている。腸内細菌叢の乱れは、ストレスや食生活の乱れ、疲労、睡眠不足などの現代人がよく陥る状況が原因となるだけではなく、加齢も腸内細菌叢が乱れる原因となる等、誰にでも起こりうる症状である。
腸内細菌叢のバランスを改善するために、ビフィズス菌等の生菌製剤が医療用医薬品、一般医薬品又はサプリメントとして散剤、錠剤、カプセル剤などの形で患者に提供されている。
口腔内崩壊性錠剤は、高齢者、小児など嚥下能力が低い患者又は一般の成人でも、服用場所を選ばず、水無しで服用可能な製剤としてその開発が望まれており、既にそのような製剤は幾つか開発されている。このような製剤を開示する公知文献として、(1)薬物、糖類、糖類の粒子表面が湿る程度の水分を含む混合物を打錠し、乾燥させる方法(特開平5−271054号公報参照)により製造される錠剤、(2)薬物、水溶性賦形剤及び非晶質糖類を圧縮成型後、エージングさせる方法(特開平11−12161号公報参照)により製造される錠剤、(3)薬物、乳糖、結晶セルロース及び軽質無水ケイ酸を一定の比率で含有し、更にクロスポピドン等の崩壊剤を含有することを特徴とする錠剤(特開2000−273038号公報参照)が知られている。
更に、(4)日本薬学会第124年会において「結晶セルロース・軽質無水ケイ酸(商品名プロソルブ)の製剤への応用(2)」において、結晶セルロース、軽質無水ケイ酸の生菌製剤への応用処方が示されており、結晶セルロース・軽質無水ケイ酸は低い打錠圧での製剤化が可能であり、打錠時の生菌数のロスを減らすことが可能であったこと及びこのときの錠剤の崩壊時間は約1.5〜2分であったことが示されている。
しかしながら、これらの公知文献には有用菌を含有する口腔内崩壊性錠剤は明示されていない。即ち、(1)の錠剤は湿潤した混合物を打錠するため、水分に不安定な有用菌には適用することが難しく、(2)の錠剤は一定の温度、湿度の条件下で裸錠をエージングさせる必要があり、これは錠剤の乾燥減量を増大させ、有用菌の保存安定性が低下するという欠点がある。(3)の錠剤は本発明とは錠剤の組成が異なるうえ、本発明で用いられる結晶セルロース・軽質無水ケイ酸は使用されていないうえ、有用菌製剤及びその保存安定性に関しては何ら記載されていない。また、(4)には、結晶セルロース・軽質無水ケイ酸をビフィズス菌等有用菌に応用した例が示されており、打錠時の生菌数のロスを減らすことが可能であることも示されている。しかしながら、(4)には、得られた生菌製剤の保存安定性や速崩壊性の記載はない。
Intestinal bacteria are present in the human intestine, and recently, it is said that there are 100 trillion intestinal bacteria in the entire intestinal tract, forming an intestinal flora. Intestinal bacteria include useful bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, or good bacteria and bad bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Clostridium perfringens, and these bacteria are balanced to bring about useful functions for humans. In recent years, it has been known that maintaining this balance of the intestinal microflora is deeply related to human health by affecting the breakdown, digestion, absorption, immunity, infection defense, and aging of nutrients when this balance is disturbed. . Disturbance of the intestinal microflora is not only caused by the situation that modern people often fall into, such as stress, eating habits, fatigue, lack of sleep, etc. It is a symptom that can occur even in Japan.
In order to improve the balance of the intestinal microflora, live bacteria preparations such as bifidobacteria are provided to patients in the form of powders, tablets, capsules and the like as medical drugs, general pharmaceuticals or supplements.
Orally disintegrating tablets are desired to be developed as a preparation that can be taken without water, even in patients with low swallowing ability such as elderly people, children, and general adults, and can be taken without water. Some have been developed. As a publicly known document disclosing such a preparation, (1) a method of tableting and drying a mixture containing a drug, a saccharide, and a water containing a saccharide so that the surface of the saccharide is moistened (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. Hei 5-27054) Tablets to be produced, (2) tablets produced by a method of aging after compression molding of drug, water-soluble excipient and amorphous sugar (see JP-A-11-12161), (3) drug, lactose There is known a tablet (see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-273038) characterized by containing crystalline cellulose and light silicic acid anhydride in a certain ratio and further containing a disintegrant such as crospovidone.
Furthermore, in (4) “Application of crystalline cellulose / light anhydrous silicic acid (trade name Prosolve) (2)” at the 124th Annual Meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan Application formulas are shown, and crystalline cellulose and light silicic acid can be formulated with low tableting pressure, and it was possible to reduce the loss of viable cell count during tableting and It was shown that the disintegration time of the tablet was about 1.5-2 minutes.
However, these known literatures do not disclose orally disintegrating tablets containing useful bacteria. That is, since the tablet of (1) compresses a wet mixture, it is difficult to apply it to useful bacteria that are unstable to moisture, and the tablet of (2) is a bare tablet under constant temperature and humidity conditions. It has to be aged, which increases the loss on drying of the tablet and has the disadvantage of reducing the storage stability of useful bacteria. The tablet of (3) has a different tablet composition from that of the present invention, the crystalline cellulose and light silicic acid used in the present invention are not used, and there are no descriptions regarding useful bacterial preparations and their storage stability. Absent. In addition, (4) shows an example in which crystalline cellulose / light anhydrous silicic acid is applied to useful bacteria such as bifidobacteria, and it is shown that it is possible to reduce the loss of the number of viable bacteria during tableting. Has been. However, (4) does not describe the storage stability and quick disintegration property of the obtained viable bacterial preparation.

従って、本発明の目的は、有用菌については、口腔内で速やかに崩壊し、適度な強度を有し、通常の圧縮成型機を用いて非常に簡便な方法で製造でき、かつ含有する有用菌の長期間の保存安定性にも優れた口腔内速崩壊性錠剤を開発することにある。

本発明者等は、上記課題を解決すべく検討を重ねた結果、有用菌に結晶セルロース、軽質無水ケイ酸及びデンプン含有糖類を配合したものは、通常の打錠機により比較的低い打錠圧で打錠することにより、口腔内で速やかに崩壊し、適度な強度を有し、かつ有用菌の打錠時の死滅率が少なく、しかも長期間の保存安定性にも優れた口腔内速崩壊性錠剤が得られることを見出した。本発明は、この様な知見に基づき更に研究を重ねることにより完成された。
本発明で用いられる有用菌はヒトの消化活動に有用なものであればいずれでも良い。ビフィズス菌類(Bifidobacterium longum、Bifidobacterium infantis、Bifidobacterium bifidum、Bifidobacterium breveなど)、乳酸菌類(Lactobacillus casei、Lactobacillus gasseri、Lactobacillus acidophilus、Streptococcus faecalis、Streptococcus thermophilusなど)を挙げることができる。好ましくは、ビフィズス菌、特にビフィドバクテリウム・ロンガム(Bifidobacterium longum)やビフィドバクテリウム・インファンティス(Bifidobacterium infantis)などのビフィズス菌を挙げることができる。有用菌は、適宜、2種又はそれ以上を配合して使用することもできる。
本発明で用いる有用菌は、例えば生菌粉末、凍結乾燥品等の形態のものを用いることができる。その配合量は錠剤100重量部に対して、0.03〜30重量部とすることができ、より良好な成形性を得るためには0.1〜20重量部、とりわけ0.5〜10重量部とすることが好ましい。配合菌数は特に限定しないが、その有効性から考えて生菌が10〜1010個/錠であり、好ましくは10〜10個/錠である。
本発明で用いる有用菌は、有用菌に悪影響を及ぼさない医薬品、健康食品等の他の有効成分と組み合わせて使用することもできる。
本発明で用いる結晶セルロース、軽質無水ケイ酸は結晶セルロースと少量の軽質無水ケイ酸をスラリー状で混合後、噴霧乾燥法にて製造される賦形剤であり、特許第3300364号にその製造方法が示されている。このものは、JRS PHARMA社より「プロソルブ(PROSOLV)」(登録商標)として市販されているものを使用することができる。結晶セルロース・軽質無水ケイ酸は、錠剤100重量部に対して、約35〜70重量部、好ましくは40〜70重量部使用される。
本発明で用いるデンプン含有糖類は、少なくともデンプンを含有するものであればよく、デンプンのみでもよいし、デンプンと1種類又はそれ以上の他の糖類を適宜の割合で単に混合したものでも良いし、それらを造粒したものでもよい。本発明ではデンプン含有糖類として、通常、デンプンを40重量部以上、好ましくは70重量部以上含むものが使用される。デンプン含有糖類の造粒方法としては特に制限はないが、噴霧乾燥、攪拌造粒、流動層造粒、押し出し造粒等が挙げられる。デンプンは特に由来を問わない。例えばトウモロコシデンプン、小麦デンプン、馬鈴薯デンプンなどが挙げられる。また他の糖類としては、例えば乳糖、ラクツロース、白糖、麦芽糖、粉飴、ブドウ糖、果糖、マルチトール、マンニトール、ソルビトール、キシリトール、エリスリトールなどが挙げられる。

It is shown. This thing can use what is marketed as a "PROSOLV" (trademark) from JRS PHARMA company. The crystalline cellulose / light anhydrous silicic acid is used in an amount of about 35 to 70 parts by weight, preferably 40 to 70 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the tablet.
The starch-containing saccharide used in the present invention only needs to contain at least starch, may be starch alone, or may be a simple mixture of starch and one or more other saccharides in an appropriate ratio, Those obtained by granulation may be used. In the present invention, as starch-containing saccharides, those containing 40 parts by weight or more, preferably 70 parts by weight or more of starch are usually used. The method for granulating the starch-containing saccharide is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include spray drying, stirring granulation, fluidized bed granulation, and extrusion granulation. The origin of starch is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include corn starch, wheat starch, and potato starch. Examples of other saccharides include lactose, lactulose, sucrose, maltose, flour, glucose, fructose, maltitol, mannitol, sorbitol, xylitol, and erythritol.
The amount of starch-containing saccharide used varies depending on the content of starch contained in the starch-containing saccharide, etc., but is usually 25-60 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the tablet. For example, when a starch / lactose granulation mixture containing starch and lactose in a ratio of about 7: 3 is used as the starch-containing saccharide, it is about 25-60 parts by weight, preferably 30-30 parts per 100 parts by weight of the tablet. 60 parts by weight are used.
If desired, the tablet of the present invention may be blended with various additives generally used in tablet production. Such additives may be used alone or in admixture at an appropriate ratio. Examples of the additive include a disintegrant, a binder, a sour agent, a foaming agent, an artificial sweetener, a flavoring agent, a flavoring agent, a fluidizing agent, a lubricant, a coloring agent, a stabilizer, and an excipient.
In general, a disintegrating agent is usually blended in an intraoral rapidly disintegrating tablet in order to have a desired disintegrating property. Examples of these disintegrants include crospovidone, low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, carmellose calcium, croscarmellose sodium, and carboxymethyl starch sodium. Among them, crospopidone is widely used. However, the rapidly disintegrating tablet in the oral cavity of the present invention rapidly disintegrates in the oral cavity without blending a disintegrant.
The intraoral rapidly disintegrating tablet of the present invention is produced by compression-molding a useful bacterium, crystalline cellulose, light anhydrous silicic acid and starch-containing saccharides with other additives as desired, and having a moisture content of 3. This is done by obtaining a tablet of 2% by weight or less. In the present invention, the particle diameter of the additive such as useful bacteria is not particularly limited, but the use of a particle having a small particle provides a superior feeling of dosing. Moreover, what was dried after passing through a wet granulation process may be used for the other additive except a useful microbe depending on necessity. In this case, crystalline cellulose, light anhydrous silicic acid, starch-containing saccharides, and the like are mixed by a conventional method, and then treatments such as spray drying, stirring granulation, fluidized bed granulation, and extrusion granulation are performed. For compression molding, an apparatus generally used for tablet formation is used. For example, a rotary tableting machine or the like can be used.
In the present invention, in order to avoid the killing of useful bacteria at the time of tableting, it is preferable to set the tableting pressure to be relatively low and to perform tableting so as to obtain a hardness that does not damage the tablet. The tableting pressure is usually preferably about 1 ton or less.
The intraoral rapidly disintegrating tablet of the present invention thus obtained is disintegratable in the oral cavity and exhibits an appropriate tablet hardness. The disintegration time in the oral cavity is usually 5 to 50 seconds, preferably 5 to 40 seconds, and more preferably 5 to 30 seconds. The tablet hardness is preferably about 30 N to 60 N, and more preferably about 30 N to 50 N in order to obtain a tablet with a strength that does not break the tablet in the distribution process and a short disintegration time. Has hardness.
The water content in tablets significantly affects the long-term storage stability of useful bacteria. For this reason, in the present invention, it is necessary to reduce the water content of the rapidly disintegrating tablet in the oral cavity as much as possible. In the present invention, the water content is kept at 3.2 wt% or less, preferably 2.5 wt% or less. In addition, for storage of tablets, it is usually preferable to store the tablets in a glass bottle containing a desiccant, such as SP packaging in which the tablets are completely sealed with an aluminum packaging material.
As a method of taking, (1) the tablet is contained in the mouth, the tablet is disintegrated in the oral cavity with saliva without water, and taken as it is, (2) the tablet is contained in the mouth, and a small amount of water is also contained. (3) A method of taking this tablet together with water in the mouth and taking it as it is, or (4) A method of taking this tablet after it is disintegrated with water. The intraoral rapidly disintegrating tablet of the present invention (a) When there are many opportunities to take without water, (b) When a patient who is difficult to swallow the tablet, (c) It is necessary to take many drugs at the same time It can be used particularly effectively in cases where there are a lot of cases, or (d) when an elderly person or a child who is likely to clog the throat with a normal tablet.

The bifidobacteria powder used in the following examples and comparative examples was cultured after bifidobacterium longum and bifidobacterium infantis were lyophilized. The obtained powder has about 1 × 10 10 cells / g of live bacteria.
(1) Hardness test It measured using the tablet hardness meter (FUJIWARA). The test was performed 10 times and the average value was shown.
(2) Disintegration test It evaluated by the disintegration test by a Japanese pharmacopoeia. The test was carried out using a disintegration tester (Toyama Sangyo Co., Ltd.) without an auxiliary plate. Water (37 ° C.) was used as the test solution. The test was conducted on 6 tablets and the average value was shown.
(3) Oral disintegration time measurement The time until the tablet disintegrates with only saliva in the oral cavity was measured. The test was performed 3 times and the average value was shown.
(4) Storage stability test Each tablet was packaged in aluminum, and then stored for 1 week or 2 weeks at a temperature of 40 ° C and 75% relative humidity. During this period, the decrease in the number of bacteria was measured by a plate smearing method using a Bifidobacterium discrimination medium (with horse defibrinated blood added). The viability of bifidobacteria was determined from the number of viable bacteria before storage and the number of viable bacteria after storage.
