Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a method for increasing the stability of a pre-emulsion to a poorly soluble organic compound, and more particularly, to a method for enhancing the stability of a pre-emulsion which greatly improves homogeneity by using an in-line mixer .
A great deal of research has been conducted on the technology for solubilising poorly soluble organic compounds over the last several decades. Here, the poorly soluble organic compound is called a hydrophobic organic compound whose solubility in water is generally as low as not more than 0.5 mg / L. Unless otherwise specified, the present invention defines the main components used in medicines and foods among the poorly soluble organic compounds, generally referred to as poorly soluble organic compounds, and is defined in detail in Table 1.
Generally, a poorly soluble organic compound can exhibit a pharmacological action only in a dissolved state, and solubilization of the drug is closely related to the drug efficacy.
Therefore, the insoluble drug becomes absolutely necessary for the solubilization step.
If an insoluble drug is taken orally, it is not dispersed as a single molecule in the gastrointestinal tract and is not absorbed at all because it exists as a large aggregate.
In addition, if it is used as an eye drop or an injection, a poorly soluble organic compound is crystallized and a blood vessel is clogged to cause a blood clot, resulting in a great risk of life. Soluble organic compounds used in eye drops and injections are the most essential conditions.
The solubilization of a poorly soluble organic compound means a process in which a poorly soluble compound is efficiently enclosed in a carrier and made into a colloidal state or a state in which it is enclosed in fine particles without being precipitated in an aqueous solution. To date, the most commonly used solubilizing agent for solubilization is surfactants.
Surfactants are amphoteric compounds in which lipophilic groups and hydrophilic groups are present together in the molecule. Surfactants are classified into cationic surfactants, negative ion surfactants and amphoteric surfactants.
Examples of the cationic surfactant include high-grade halides, saccharide ammonium salts and alkylpyridinium salts, and anionic surfactants include soaps and alkylbenzenesulfonic acid salts, and amphoteric surfactants include phospholipids and the like.
When the surfactant is put into water, the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains themselves gather in the water because of the hydrophobicity, and the hydrophilic groups meet in the shape of spheres to meet the water. The poorly soluble organic compound forms a micelle which is mainly distributed in the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain. The micelles thus formed are arranged according to the type of solubilizing agent, such as a spherical shape, a long cylinder-shaped one-side implementation, and a circular disk-shaped circular shape.
The micelles thus formed can be formed variously according to the temperature, the concentration of the self-association, the structure of the solubilizing agent, and the like.
Solubilizing agents, on the other hand, can be divided into water-soluble and water-insoluble.
Examples of the water-soluble usable agent include propylene glycol type, glycerin, polyethylene glycol (PEG) type, poloxamer type, polysorbate type, cyclodextrin type, phospholipid type such as lecithin, Examples of zero oil include castor oil, olive oil and soybean oil, and examples of the acid include oleic acid and soybean fatty acid.
In the present invention, particularly, a method for stably solubilizing a poorly soluble organic compound using phospholipid, particularly lecithin, which is an amphoteric solubilizing agent and a water soluble solubilizer has been studied for a long time.
Although the present invention has been mainly studied as a representative solubilizer for low toxicity lecithin, it is not limited to a specific solubilizing agent.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel process for producing a highly homogeneous, stable phase-stable emulsion on oil-in-water (o / w) using a poorly soluble organic compound and a solubilizing agent.
Generally, an emulsion is a liquid-liquid dispersion system in which two liquids which are not mixed with each other are dispersed in another liquid in the form of small droplets with a constant ratio, that is, in a state in which one or more liquid phases, , Which generally have various size distributions ranging from tens of nanometers to tens of micrometers.
The emulsions are classified in various physico-chemical aspects. In this patent, generally, Table 1 below is applied.
It is called micro-emulsion when the droplet average diameter is 20-200 nm and it is called emulsion when the average particle diameter of the dispersed phase is 500 nm or more.
In general, the reason for producing a weakly soluble organic compound as an emulsion in medicine and food is to increase the water absorption rate by watering a poorly soluble organic compound.
When the emulsion is prepared from the emulsion, the content of the poorly soluble organic compounds trapped in the particles is dramatically increased, so that the amount of the poorly soluble organic compounds absorbed in the human body can be remarkably increased.
However, such emulsions are generally thermodynamically unstable and change to thermodynamically stable states such as flocculation, sedimentation, creaming, Ostwald ripening, and coalescence, In the end, it may have a property to be separated.
Conventionally, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the size of the emulsion particle is manufactured in the region of the microemulsion rather than the region of the emulsion. However, reducing the emulsion particle size could improve the stability of the emulsion in terms of kinetic, such as inter-particle Brownian motion, but ultimately the homogeneity between the particles is low, resulting in van der Waals attraction The emulsion is recrystallized and a poorly soluble organic compound is precipitated. Thus, it is very difficult to solve a pending problem of manufacturing a stabilized emulsion.
When the size of the emulsion particle is reduced to the microemulsion region, the stability of the emulsion can be relatively improved, and the cell permeability of the emulsion particle can be dramatically increased. However, when the size of the emulsion particle is small, the above-described merits are merely obtained. The content of the poorly soluble organic compound trapped in the surfactant or the emulsifier is significantly lower than that of the emulsion, and in order to realize the desired effect, There is a problem that a positive emulsion must be applied or taken.
Therefore, except for the case where the size of the emulsion particle is reduced to nano size and precise targeting is required due to an enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect or the like, an insoluble organic compound, which is captured by a surfactant or an emulsifier, It may be desirable to use particles in the emulsion region that can dramatically increase the content of the compound.
Therefore, in the case of the emulsion, the emulsion particles are prevented from being separated by various routes such as coagulation, sedimentation, creaming, particle growth and adhesion, and in the case of the microemulsion, recrystallized by the interfacial van der Waals attractive force, And ultimately the emulsion stability is dramatically increased.
Korean Patent No. 648515 relating to a method of stabilizing an emulsion has disclosed that a polymer solution prepared by dissolving and dispersing a bisphosphonate in an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble polymer and a hydrophilic surfactant is dispersed in a primary organic solvent containing a biodegradable polymer and a hydrophobic surfactant in an amount of 2 Treating a bone related disease comprising a bisphosphonate-containing polymer microparticle prepared by adding a primary emulsion solution (W / O) to a polymer solution prepared by adding a secondary organic solvent and dispersing the primary emulsion solution in an external continuous phase, or The present invention relates to an injection agent having a sustained-release effect.
Korean Patent No. 709015 also describes an invention relating to a polymer microparticle capable of continuous drug release and a manufacturing method thereof.
In US Pat. No. 5,616,330, taxol used as an anticancer agent and egg yolk lecithin using phospholipid was disclosed as an O / W emulsion injection, which is known to have a very low toxicity as compared with a formulation using a crèmeo solubilizer that has been developed previously have. In particular, US Pat. No. 5,616,330 is similar to the process of the present invention, but characterized in that it is homogenized using an ultra high speed mixer.
In addition, many patents and papers have been published which attempt to commercialize a poorly soluble compound as an emulsion or a microemulsion using a solubilizing agent as a medicine or a food.
The common point of many previous inventions and known papers in the process of manufacturing the emulsion is that the technique of making and homogenizing the liquid droplets under the condition that the droplet size can be controlled at a constant level is very important and the stability difference of the emulsion is determined thereby It is known.
Thus, in a situation in which a new technique for homogenizing in the production of a more stable emulsion is required, the researchers involved in the present invention have found, through a great deal of time and effort, a new homogenization preparation method , Thereby inventing a technique for producing more stable emulsions or microemulsions.
The disclosures of the cited patents and patents are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety, and the contents of the present invention may be more clearly described.
The present inventors have found that when preparing an emulsion in which many poorly soluble organic compounds used in medicines and foods are prepared, it is possible to make the emulsified organic compound soluble in water by the recrystallization precipitation action by the van der Waals attractive force between the emulsion particles The emulsion stability is remarkably lowered, and a lot of studies have been conducted to solve this problem.
As a result, it is possible to produce a pre-emulsion using a homogenizer (hereinafter referred to as an in-line mixer) containing a concept of re-mixture after putting a surfactant, a poorly soluble organic compound and the like used in conventional emulsion production, It has been found that when the emulsion is dispersed in water, the homogeneity between the emulsion particles is greatly improved and the stability of the emulsion is remarkably improved, thereby completing the present invention.

Furthermore, the development of stabilized emulsions is becoming more important because the routes of administration of these drugs are used as eye drops and injections.
The term " surfactant " used throughout this specification is a compound having a hydrophilic moiety and a hydrophobic moiety at the same time in a molecule. Surfactant molecules gather at a certain concentration to form a micelle structure. Micelles are formed when the concentration of the surfactant is above the critical micelle concentration and the temperature is above the critical micelle temperature (Kraft temperature). When the micelles are formed in water, the hydrophobic portion of the surfactant collects at the center to form nuclei and the hydrophilic portion forms an outer portion in contact with the water. Like oil, hydrophobic materials are located in the inner part of the micelle and stabilize and dissolve in water, which is called solubilization. Therefore, even if not mentioned otherwise, the surfactant can be understood as a concept including an emulsifier.
The surfactant is preferably a surfactant or emulsifier having two or more hydrophobic alkyl chains, more preferably lecithin, hydrogenated lecithin, PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate, , Polyglyceryl-2 Dipolyhydroxystearate, Polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate, PEG-150 Pentaerythritol tetrastearate (PEG-150 Pentaerythrityl Tetrastearate) and polyglyceryl-2 triisostearate, and most preferably may be lecithin or hydrogenated lecithin.
Natural lecithin includes soy lecithin and egg yolk lecithin, all of which are referred to in the present invention as lecithin unless otherwise specified.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the surfactant may be a natural surfactant or a synthetic surfactant.
Natural surfactants include at least one interface selected from the group comprising soy lecithin, egg yolk lecithin, hydrogenated lecithin (hydrogenated soy lecithin and hydrogenated egg lecithin), sphingosine, ganglioside and phytosphingosine But are not limited thereto.
Natural lecithin is a mixture of diglycerides of stearic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid linked to a choline ester of phosphoric acid, commonly referred to as phosphatidylcholine, and can be obtained from a variety of sources such as eggs and soybeans. Soybean lecithin and egg yolk lecithin (including hydrogenated lecithin) have long been safe in biological systems, have both emulsifying and solubilizing properties, and tend to degrade faster than most synthetic surfactants in a more harmless way. Commercially available soybean lecithins include Centrophase and Centrolex products [Central Soya], Phospholipon [Phospholipid GmbH, Germany], Lipoid [Lipoid GmbH, Germany] and EPIKURON [Degussa].
Hydrogenated lecithin is a hydrogenated product in which double bonds held by natural lecithin are reduced, and can be included in the technical idea of the present invention.
According to the USP, lecithin is composed of phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, and phosphotidylinositol, mixed with various substances such as triglycerides, fatty acids and carbohydrates in various amounts. Acetone-insoluble phospholipids.
Pharmaceutically, lecithin is primarily used as a dispersant, emulsifier and stabilizer, and is included in intramuscular and intravenous injections, parenteral nutritional formulations and topical products. Lecithin is also listed in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Guide for inhalants, IM and IV injections, oral capsules, suspensions and tablets, rectal preparations, topical preparations and vaginal preparations.

Wherein the organic poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant are mixed in a weight ratio of 0.00001: 10 to 10: 0.00001, and the solvent capable of dissolving the poorly soluble organic compound and the poorly soluble organic compound is 0.00001: 10 to 10: 0.00001 weight ratio and supplied to the inline mixer. A more stable pre-emulsion can be produced by the above-mentioned range.
Preferably, the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant are mixed at a weight ratio of 1: 1 to 1: 10000, and the solvent capable of dissolving the poorly soluble organic compound and the poorly soluble organic compound is mixed at a ratio of 1: 0.5 to 1: 100000 weight ratio and supplied to the inline mixer. In the above range, excessive use of the surfactant is prevented, and the stability of the pre-emulsion to the poorly soluble organic compound is high.
The average particle size of the pre-emulsion according to an embodiment of the present invention may be preferably 0.1-10.0 mu m, more preferably 0.1-10.0 mu m, and most preferably 0.5-4.0 mu m , The amount of the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant contained therein, the stirring time of the inline mixer, the stirring pressure, and the like, the average particle size of the pre-emulsion can be freely adjusted.
The pharmaceutically usable solvent capable of dissolving the poorly soluble organic compound may be selected from the group including polyols, natural oils, hydrocarbon oils, higher alcohols and ester oils. The solvent can be freely used if it is a solvent capable of dissolving the poorly soluble organic compound. However, considering the properties of the poorly soluble organic compound, the amount of the solvent used can be minimized and the emulsion safety can be maximized It is preferable to use a solvent.
The emulsion stabilization method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a step of mixing the poorly soluble organic compound, a solvent capable of dissolving the poorly soluble organic compound, and a surfactant in the inline mixer after the supplying step to prepare a pre-emulsion Step < / RTI >
The 'in-line mixer' is used to significantly increase the homogeneity of the pre-emulsion. The 'in-line mixer' is a step in which the phase separation step, the rotational circulation step or the radial mixing step Or a device that can be brought into simultaneous action.
Conventionally, there has already existed a mixer or a homogenizing device having stirring ability or homogeneity such as the above-mentioned inline mixer such as a microfluidizer or a high-pressure homogenizer. However, the pre-emulsion and the emulsion of the present invention were produced only through the above-described inline mixer, and could not be produced by a stirrer or a homogenizer such as a microfluidizer or a high-pressure homogenizer as well as a general mixer.
When we think about the reason, generally, in the case of high pressure homogenizer or microfluidizer, it is a mechanism to crush and stir a specific substance by transmitting strong physical force to one or more places. However, when moving away from the site, the physical force to be transmitted is weakened, and basically, the site is forced to be less crushed than the site where the force is transmitted. Thus, although the particles can be finely pulverized and agitated, it can not be concluded that the homogeneity of the produced particles becomes constant or forms a stabilized emulsion.
However, in the case of the above-mentioned inline mixer, the added surfactant, poorly soluble organic compound, etc. are divided into 1/2 to 1/10 of the unit blades each time they pass through the unit blades included in the tube of the inline mixer, do.
In addition, as the process of passing through the unit blade is repeated a lot, the amount and ratio of the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant to be combined are quantified in proportion to the input amount and the input ratio of the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant, .
Although the proportion and / or the amount of the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant to be combined are not quantitative in the initial stirring step, the proportion and amount of the poorly soluble organic compound and the surfactant to be bound are quantified as the stirring progresses, When the surfactant and the poorly soluble organic compound quantitatively measured in terms of ratio and quantity are combined, the sizes of the surfactant and the poorly soluble organic compound are almost the same and the homogeneity of the resulting material is remarkably increased.
Therefore, the use of the inline mixer in the present invention is the most essential component.
The use of the inline mixer to produce a pre-emulsion or emulsion produced by the process of the present invention is an essential component, but does not limit the use of other stirrers or homogenizers in parallel with the use of the inline mixer.

Experimental Example 1: Evaluation of physical properties of pre-emulsion and emulsion
Experimental Example 1-1: Confirmation of pre-emulsion state
The irregular state of the pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 1 was confirmed by using an electron microscope (SEM). The photographs were taken at a magnification of 7000 times and 1000 times, and concrete results are shown in FIG. The picture shown in blue in Figure 1 is the ceramide itself, which shows that it is very regularly arranged as shown. By the ceramide crystals in the regular arrangement, they are not dispersed in water, and even if they are dispersed by physical force for a moment, they are in a state where recrystallization occurs immediately. However, it was confirmed that the amorphous crystals were irregularly dispersed in the photographs of the results of Example 1, which were obtained by photographing with a red color photographed by a scanning electron microscope. The irregular shape of the ceramides and irregular arrangement of the crystals make water dispersion very easy and maintain a water dispersed state for a long time (more than 3 years at room temperature).
Experimental Example 1-2: Evaluation of homogeneity and dispersibility
The method of measuring the dispersibility, homogeneity and particle size of the pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 1 can be roughly determined by measuring the potential difference using a Zeta-Potential Analyzer, There is a limit to the presence of recrystallization. Therefore, the size and homogeneity of emulsified particles according to aging changes were confirmed directly by using a microscope, and its stability was confirmed. In the particle photographs shown in the following Table 5 and Figs. 2 to 4, recrystallization of ceramides was not observed with time, and a uniform distribution of the particle size of 2.6-3.8 탆 was observed, indicating that aggregation by recrystallization did not occur I could confirm.
Generally, when the particle size is different according to aging, the particles are coalesced and agglomerated due to the difference of the repulsive force and the attraction force of each other. When such coalescence and aggregation accelerate, the particle size becomes very large while affecting the stability. However, in the particle photographs of FIGS. 2 to 4, since the particle size according to the aging changes uniformly, it can be considered that it is in a very stable form.
5 shows a photograph of the latanoprost emulsion (containing 0.005% of latanoprost) particles prepared by the method of Example 5 using an electron microscope, and the photograph on the right side of FIG. 5 shows a state in which the particles of latanoprost emulsion (containing 0.005% of latanoprost) were photographed using an optical microscope. It can be confirmed that the latanoprost emulsion particles prepared by the method of Example 5 are more homogeneous than the latanoprost emulsion particles prepared by the method of Comparative Example 5. [
On the other hand, the average particle size of the pre-emulsion particles of Examples 2 to 16 was measured using ELS equipment, and it was confirmed that each example exhibited an average particle size of 0.2-10.0 탆.
Experimental example 1-3: DSC measurement
The DSC graph was analyzed to determine the phase transition temperature of the pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 1 above. Ceramide, a raw material, was used as a control.
The DSC graph of the control and the pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 1 is shown in Fig. As shown in FIG. 5, in the case of the control (a), the temperature at which the ceramide, which is a crystalline form at room temperature, phase-transitions to the liquid phase is 97.70 ° C., whereas in the case of the pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 1 of the present invention, As the phase transition temperature was 52.08 ° C, it was confirmed that a significant difference in the phase transition temperature occurred.
Experimental Example 2: Measurement of long-term stability according to aging
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2-1: Test for Storing a Thermostat
The preemulsions prepared by the methods of Comparative Examples 1 to 16 were stored in a thermostatic chamber at 4 ° C, 20 ° C, 38 ° C and 50 ° C for 1 to 90 days to confirm the long-term stability of preemulsion. As a result, it was confirmed that fine powder appeared on the water surface at the time when 15 days passed at 38 캜 and 50 캜. However, as shown in Table 6 below, the pre-emulsion prepared by the methods of Examples 1 to 16 was stable even after 90 days in a constant temperature bath at 4 캜, 20 캜, 38 캜 and 50 캜 .

Experimental Example 2-2: Cycling test (4-50 DEG C)
The pre-emulsions prepared by the methods of Comparative Examples 1 to 16 were stored in a 4 ° C heat bath and a 50 ° C thermostat in a day-by-day basis to confirm the long-term stability of the pre-emulsion. As a result, it was confirmed that fine powder appeared on the surface from the time when 3 days passed. However, as shown in Table 7 below, the pre-emulsion prepared by the methods of Examples 1 to 16 was stable even after 14 days.
EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2-3: Low Temperature (-10 ° C) Test
In order to confirm the long-term stability of the pre-emulsion prepared by the methods of Comparative Examples 1 to 16, a low-temperature test was conducted at -10 ° C. As a result, a fine powder appeared on the water surface at three days at -10 ° C . However, as shown in Table 8 below, the pre-emulsion prepared by the methods of Examples 1 to 16 was stable even after 7 days at -10 ° C.
Experimental Example 2-4: Phase Separation Test Using Centrifuge
The latanoprost pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 5 was hydrated to complete a latanoprost formulation containing 0.005% of latanoprost. Each of the prepared solutions was packed and sealed in a 1.5-mL tube, and the respective samples were prepared. Then, each sample was placed in a centrifuge, and it was confirmed whether or not phase separation was performed with respect to each RPM (8500, 9500, 10000 and 13000) according to time. As a comparative example, latanoprost free emulsion And a latanoprost formulation containing 0.005% of latanoprost was used. As shown in the following Table 9, the latanoprost formulation prepared by the method of Example 5 had no phase separation in each RPM, but the latanoprost formulation prepared by the method of Comparative Example 5 had 10 minutes at 9500 RPM Over time, phase separation was observed.
Experimental Example 2-5: Thermal stability test
4 ° C, 25 ° C, 40 ° C and 70 ° C were prepared, and the latanoprost pre-emulsion prepared by the method of Example 5 was hydrated to complete a latanoprost formulation containing 0.005% latanoprost. As a comparative example, Xalatan preparation, which contains 0.005% latanoprost and is distributed in the market, was purchased and used. Each of the latanoprost and Xalatan preparations was filled in a glass ampule in an amount of 2.5 mL each and sealed to prepare respective samples. Then, each sample was taken at each temperature for each period and subjected to a content analysis test using a high performance liquid chromatograph.
7 and 8, there was no significant difference between the latanofrost formulation of the present invention and the Xalatan preparation of the present invention at 4 ° C, 25 ° C and 40 ° C, In the case of preservation, it was confirmed that the latanofrost formulation of the present invention had a survival rate of 92% or more for 7 days and was remarkably stable as compared with the control drug.
