BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A particularly difficult problem faced by the pharmaceutical and medical communities is patient compliance with dosing regimens. Lack of adherence to a dosing regimen can be disastrous. Generally speaking, depending on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic behavior of a therapeutic
specific, and the nature of the disease, a profile of drug concentration in a target tissue must be obtained to produce a therapeutic effect. Effective drug concentration profiles are obtained through patient compliance with dosing regimens that were shown to produce a clinically relevant effect during controlled clinical trials. Non-compliance (not attachment) with a prescribed dosing regimen has negative clinical consequences. Failure to comply may result in lower levels of drug in the target tissue and the disease may "escape" the effects of the drug since it is not present at inhibitory concentrations. For example, non-compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen for antiretroviral medication has produced drug-resistant strains of HIV that have been transmitted throughout the population (Boden et al., JAMA 282: 1135-1141 (1999)). In fact, there is an excessive decline in sustaining the viral load as compliance goes from 95% to 70% (Paterson et al Ann. Int. Med. 133: 21-30 (2000)), resulting in more problems for the patient. The pharmaceutical / medical community has concentrated clinical trials of drug development on simple dosing regimens to promote compliance. Drugs that require complex dosing regimens are now routinely abandoned because patients will not meet or can not comply with the required dosing regimen. An interesting example of how tablet compliance and size affect
Drug development is the history of the protease inhibitors amprenavir and fosamprenavir. Amprenavir was approved by the FDA in 1999 as an HIV protease inhibitor but never gained widespread use because it was found to be significantly less effective than indinavir. In fact, the current guidelines recommend against the use of amprenavir due to a high tablet load and its potential effect on compliance (Discussion on Clinical Practices for the Treatment of HIV Infection, convened by the Department of Health and Human Services. Guidelines for the use of antiretroviral agents in adults and adolescents infected with HIV See www.Aidsinfo.nih.gov). Recently, fosamprenavir was approved by the FDA for the treatment of HIV-1. Fosamprenavir is a prodrug of amprenavir that has improved oral solubility and bioavailability, allowing dosing once or twice a day with smaller tablets and fewer tablets than amprenavir, resulting in increased patient acceptance of the dosing regimen of fosamprenavir and the greater compliance and expected clinical efficacy. A particular problem in creating acceptable dosing regimens is when large quantities of a drug need to be delivered to a patient: there is a limit to the size of a tablet that a patient is able to swallow and the more tablets a patient has to take It will be that he commits an error, resulting in non-compliance. There is a need for useful formulations for the delivery of
large amounts of drug, with a manageable tablet (pill) load and an acceptable tablet size. The pharmaceutical tablet formulation typically involves mixing the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API, the drug) with one or more inactive ingredients (ie, excipients). Tablets containing low doses (eg, less than 50 mg of drug per dose) will often be formulated with more excipient on a weight basis than the API to facilitate the manufacturing process (eg, compaction), but still give As a result small tablets that are easy to swallow for the patient. Because the excipient comprises a substantial portion of the total tablet weight, the processing and fabricability of the tablets are easily adjusted regardless of the properties of the drug agent. Conversely, with high-dose drugs, the characteristics of the tablet are profoundly influenced by the properties of the API. If these properties are not compatible with commercial manufacturing requirements, the formulator is faced with producing tablets that are larger in size (adding excipients to solve manufacturing problems), or requiring the administration of multiple tablets, each containing a percentage Reduced API, both situations have a negative impact on patient compliance. There is a need for dosage forms containing (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid containing a high charge of
drug wherein the drug comprises a high percentage of the weight of the total dosage form to provide dosage forms of a size that facilitate patient compliance with common dosage regimens.

Definitions As used herein, the term "(R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid" refers to the free acid form of (R) -2- (2-fluoro- 4-biphenylyl) propionic and molar equivalents of various salt forms, substantially free of (S) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid. When the term "(R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid" is used herein, it should also be construed as including the pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. In the context of specific amounts and ranges of
pharmaceutically acceptable salts, it should be interpreted as an equivalent molar amount of the free acid. That is, if a pharmaceutically acceptable salt is used in the formulation, it must provide the same molar amount of the free acid form as specified in the particular embodiment. As used herein, the term "dose" or "dosage" refers to the amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient that an individual takes or is administered at one time. For example, a dose of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid of 800 mg refers to, in the case of a dosing regimen of twice a day, a situation where, for example, , the individual takes 800 mg of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid in the morning and 800 mg of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid in the night. The (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid dose of 800 mg can be divided into two or more dosage units, for example, two tablets of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid of 400 mg or two capsules of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid of 400 mg. As used herein, the term "unit dosage form" refers to a physically discrete unit, such as a capsule or tablet suitable as a unit dosage for a human patient. Each unit contains a predetermined amount of (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid which was discovered as a result of this invention which produces the desired pharmacokinetic profile which produces the desired therapeutic effect. As used herein "a similar substantial dissolution profile" refers to one that gives within ± 50, 40, 30, 20, 10, or 5% of
indicated release of the API when it is tested according to the procedure set forth in example 3 at specific time points.
Methods for preparing unit dosage forms In general, there are three general methods of tablet preparation: (1) the wet granulation method; (2) the dry granulation method; and (3) direct compression. These methods are well known to those skilled in the art. See, Reminqton's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 16 and 18 Eds., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa. (1980 and 1990). See, also, U.S. Pharmacopeia XXI, U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention, Inc., Rockville, Md. (1985). In one embodiment, (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid tablets can be manufactured using a high shear wet granulation method that incorporates preblending and pre-milling to reduce the size of the tablets. large particles in the drug substance. Once granulated, the material can be dried, ground and mixed again. The final powder mixture can be compressed into tablets in a high speed rotary press and the resulting tablets coated in a perforated tray. Soft gelatin capsules containing a mixture of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and vegetable oil or water miscible, non-aqueous materials such as, for example, polyethylene glycol and the like can be prepared. Hard gelatin capsules may contain ingredient granules
active pharmaceutical in combination with a solid, powdery carrier, such as, for example, lactose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, potato starch, corn starch, amylopectin, cellulose derivatives, or gelatin. The tablets are typically made by molding, by compression or by generally accepted tabletting methods. Accordingly, compressed tablets are usually prepared by large-scale production methods while molded tablets often involve small-scale operations. Tablets for oral use are typically prepared as follows, although other techniques may be employed. The solid substances are milled or sieved to a desired particle size, and the binder is homogenized and suspended in a suitable solvent. The active pharmaceutical ingredient and auxiliary agents are mixed with the binder solution. The resulting mixture is moistened to form a uniform suspension. The wetting typically causes the particles to aggregate slightly, and the resulting mass is pressed smoothly through a stainless steel screen having a desired size. The layers of the mixture are then dried in controlled drying units for a given period of time to obtain a desired particle size and consistency. The granules of the dried mixture are gently sieved to remove any dust. Disintegrants, antifriction and anti-adhesion agents are added to this mixture. Finally, the mixture is pressed into tablets using a machine with dies and dice
appropriate to obtain the desired tablet size. The operating parameters of the machine can be selected by the person skilled in the art. Various tablet formulations can be made according to the present invention. These include tablet dosage forms such as sugar-coated tablets, film-coated tablets, enteric-coated tablets, multiple-compression tablets, long-acting tablets and the like. Sugar coated tablets (SCT) are compressed tablets that contain a sugar coating. Such a coating can be colored and are useful for covering drug substances that have unpleasant tastes or odors and for protecting materials sensitive to oxidation. Film-coated tablets (FCT) are compressed tablets that are covered with a thin film or film of a water soluble material. Many polymeric substances with film-forming properties can be used. The film coating imparts the same general characteristics as the sugar coating with the added advantage of a considerably reduced period of time required for the coating operation. Enteric coated tablets are also suitable for use in the present invention. Enteric coated tablets (ECT) are compressed tablets coated with substances that resist dissolution in the gastric fluid but disintegrate in the intestine. The enteric coating can be used for tablets containing drug substances that are
inactivated or destroyed in the stomach, for those that irritate the mucosa or as a delayed release medium of the medication. Multiple compression tablets (MCT) are compressed tablets made by more than one compression cycle, such as layered tablets or press-coated tablets. Layered tablets are prepared by compressing additional tablet granulation in a previously compressed granulation. The operation can be repeated to produce multilayer tablets of two, three or more layers. Typically, special tablet presses are required to make tablets in layers. See, for example, the U.S. patent. No. 5,213,738, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Press-coated tablets are another form of multiple compression tablets. Such tablets, also called dry-coated tablets, are prepared by feeding tablets previously compressed in a tabletting machine and compressing another layer of granulation around the preformed tablets. These tablets have all the advantages of compressed tablets, ie, grooving, monogramming, disintegration speed, etc., while retaining the attributes of the sugar-coated tablets by hiding the flavor of the drug substance in the core tablet. Press-coated tablets can also be used to separate incompatible drug substances. In addition, they can be used to provide an enteric coating to the core tablets. Both types of tablets (ie, layered tablets and pressed-coated tablets) are
they can be used, for example, in the design of long-acting dosage forms of the present invention. In practical use, the (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid can be combined as the active pharmaceutical ingredient in intimate admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier according to conventional pharmaceutical mixing techniques. In preparing the compositions for oral dosage form, any of the usual pharmaceutical media or excipients may be employed. These include, for example, water, glycols, oils, alcohols, flavoring agents, preservatives, coloring agents and the like in the case of oral liquid preparations such as suspensions, elixirs and solutions; or aerosols; or excipients such as starches, sugars, microcrystalline cellulose, diluents, granulating agents, lubricants, binders, disintegrating agents and the like in the case of oral solid preparations such as powders, capsules, tablets and tablets. Solid oral preparations are generally preferred over liquid ones. Because of their ease of administration, tablets and capsules represent the most favorable oral dosage unit forms, in which case solid pharmaceutically acceptable excipients are obviously employed.

Inactive pharmaceutical ingredients The formulations and unit dosage forms of the invention can have many different ingredients. Depending on the concentration of the dosage, a unit dosage form has an amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) sufficient to obtain a therapeutic effect in a target population. Additionally, "inactive pharmaceutical ingredients" need to be present to achieve a therapeutically effective release of the API. Therefore, the amount and type of inactive ingredients help to obtain a therapeutically effective release of the therapeutic agent. one or more disintegrants in an amount sufficient to facilitate the decomposition (disintegration) of the tablet after administration (eg, providing: In one aspect of the invention, a unit dosage tablet having the following inactive ingredients is provided a dissolution profile immediate release), one or more binders in an amount sufficient to impart sufficient cohesiveness to the tablet and / or provide sufficient qualities of free flow through the formulation of granules of size / hardness desired, one or more diluents in an amount sufficient to impart satisfactory compression characteristics, one or more lubricants in an amount sufficient to provide an adequate flow rate of the granulation and / or prevent adhesion of the material to the
die / die, reduce the friction between particles, and / or facilitate the ejection of the die, and if desired, optional ingredients. The rate of disintegration, and often the rate of dissolution of a solid pharmaceutical formulation compacted in an aqueous environment (eg, the stomach of the patient) can be increased by the addition of a disintegrant to the formulation. Disintegrants include, but are not limited to, alginic acid, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose sodium (eg Ac-Di-Sol® Primellose), colloidal silicon dioxide, croscarmellose sodium, crospovidone (e.g. Kollidon, Polyplasdone ), guar gum, magnesium aluminum silicate, methylcellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, polacrilin potassium, powdered cellulose, pregelatinized starch, sodium alginate, starch sodium glycocholate (e.g. Explotab) and starch.

Excipients that can function as slippery agents include, but are not limited to, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium trisilicate, powdered cellulose, starch, talc, and tribasic calcium phosphate. When a dosage form such as a tablet is made by compaction of a powder formulation, the formulation is subjected to die and die pressure. Some excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients have a tendency to adhere to die and die surfaces, which can cause the product to have pitting and other irregularities on the surface. A lubricant can be added to the formulation to reduce adhesion and facilitate release of the product from the die. Lubricants include, but are not limited to, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, glyceryl monostearate, glyceryl palmito stearate, hydrogenated castor oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil, mineral oil, polyethylene glycol, sodium benzoate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium stearyl fumarate, stearic acid, talc and zinc stearate.

Examples of suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of
APIs include, but are not limited to, aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc. In addition, organic salts including, but not limited to, salts of lysine, N, N'-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, meglumine (N-methylglucamine), procaine and tris can also be used. Optional ingredients in the formulations of the invention include, but are not limited to, flavors, coloring agents and stabilizers. The flavoring and flavoring agents make the dosage form more palatable to the patient. Flavoring agents and flavor enhancers common for pharmaceuticals that can be included in the formulation of the present invention include, but are not limited to, maltol, vanillin, ethyl vanillin, menthol, citric acid, fumaric acid, ethylmaltol and tartaric acid.
The solid and liquid formulations can also be stained using any pharmaceutically acceptable dye to improve their appearance and / or facilitate patient identification of the product and unit dosage level. In one embodiment, the tablet unit dosage form has a hardness of about 5 kp (kilopond) or more, about 7 kp or more, about 9 kp or more, about 11 kp or more, and about 13 kp or more to avoid excessive friability, and a hardness of about 20 kp or less, about 19 kp or less, about 18 kp or less, about 17 kp or less, and about 16 kp or less, it is advisable to avoid the subsequent difficulty in hydrating the tablet when expose to gastric fluid. In some aspects of this modality, the hardness of the tablet unit dosage form is from 9 kp to 18 kp, 11 kp to 17 kp, and 13 kp to 17 kp. When the hardness is in an acceptable range, tablet friability is typically less than about 1.0%, preferably less than about 0.8% and more preferably less than about 0.5% in a standard test. Although the person skilled in the art recognizes that there are many techniques available to determine hardness, for comparison purposes, the method used to determine the tablet hardness of the unit dosage forms of the invention (as described in the example) should be used. 6). Some problems that can cause variations in tablet hardness are inconsistent tablet weight, variations in particle size, poor dust compressibility and insufficient binder level. A problem encountered with the unit tablet dosage forms is that they can often exhibit high friability. Friability is a physical parameter of a solid dosage form that refers to the ability of tablets to withstand physical disturbance. Friability is the tendency of a tablet to crumble, break or break. Dosage forms that have high friability will dissolve or disintegrate rapidly. An optimal unit dosage form will dissolve or disintegrate rapidly and have a low level of friability. The present invention provides this combination of desirable characteristic qualities in a high drug loading formulation. Specifically, the (R) -2- (2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl) propionic acid dosage forms of the invention have excellent dissolution profiles and desirable friabilities. The tablets of the invention have a friability of less than about 1%, which means that the tablets meet the standard of the United States Pharmacopoeia for tablet friability (which requires a friability of less than 1%). Although the person skilled in the art recognizes that there are many techniques available to determine tablet friability, for comparison purposes, the method used to determine the friability of the unit dosage forms of the invention (as described in the example) should be used. 7). Friable tablets can be caused by low moisture content, insufficient binder,
tablet configuration (for example, sharp edges against beveled edges). In some aspects, the tablet unit dosage forms of the invention have a friability of less than about 1%, less than about 0.9%, less than about 0.8%, less than about 0.7%, less than about 0.6%, less than about 0.5%, and less than about 0.4% (all at 100 rev). Poor disintegration can be derived from tablets that are compressed too hard, insufficient disintegrant levels, or too much binder. In some aspects of the invention, the total volume of the unit dosage form is less than 0.7 cm3, less than 0.65 cm3, less than 0.60 cm3, less than 0.55 cm3, less than 0.50 cm3, or less than 0.45 cm3. The present invention is illustrated below by reference to the following examples which particularly disclose preferred embodiments. However, it should be mentioned that these modalities are illustrative and should not be interpreted as limiting the invention in any way.
