Abstract

The invention relates to a brick made of pellets with delayed and controlled release of the active ingredient in a meltable matrix consisting of a pharmacologically tolerated binder.

Description

Foreliggende oppfinnelse angår en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av formlegemer av pellets. The present invention relates to a method for producing shaped bodies from pellets.

På området for perorale depotformer inntar retarderte virkestoffholdige pellets en betydelig stilling. Vanligvis fylles disse pellets på gelatinkapsler som pasienten inntar uåpnet. En stor ulempe ved denne applikasjonsform er at en fleksibel dosering av det retarderte legemiddel bare er mulig i et helt antall ganger av kapselens enhetsdose. Delmengder av legemidlet, dvs. en på forhånd bestemt og reproduserbar dose, kan ikke tas av pasienten under kontrollerte betingelser. Den sikre oppbevaring av resten av legemidlet kan ikke garanteres. In the area of oral depot forms, retarded active ingredient-containing pellets occupy a significant position. Usually these pellets are filled in gelatin capsules which the patient takes unopened. A major disadvantage of this form of application is that a flexible dosage of the retarded drug is only possible in a whole number of times the unit dose of the capsule. Portions of the drug, i.e. a predetermined and reproducible dose, cannot be taken by the patient under controlled conditions. The safe storage of the rest of the medicine cannot be guaranteed.

Av sikkerhetsgrunner er dessuten flere kapseltyper forsynt med en sikkerhetsforsegling som fører til at kapslene ødelegges ved åpning. For safety reasons, several capsule types are also provided with a safety seal which causes the capsules to be destroyed when opened.

Mange pasienter finner det utpreget ubehagelig å svelge ned et legemiddel i den kommersielle gelatinkapselform fordi kapselen føles som et fremmedlegeme. Denne følelse kan være så utpreget at svelgemekanismen fullstendig lammes. Many patients find it distinctly uncomfortable to swallow a drug in the commercial gelatin capsule form because the capsule feels like a foreign body. This feeling can be so pronounced that the swallowing mechanism is completely paralyzed.

I slike tilfeller ville det være fordelaktig å kunne løse kapselen i litt vann og så svelge de derved frigjorte pellets som "vandige suspensjoner". Som kjent løser kommersielle gelatinkapsler seg ikke opp i vann ved romtemperatur. In such cases, it would be advantageous to be able to dissolve the capsule in a little water and then swallow the pellets thus released as "aqueous suspensions". As is known, commercial gelatin capsules do not dissolve in water at room temperature.

Det er også kjent på fagområdet at pellets ikke kan presses til tabletter. Det nødvendig høye press som i så fall måtte benyttes, fører i det minste delvis til en ødeleggelse av pellet-legemet slik at forholdene ved virkestoff-fri-gjøringen endres i ugunstig retning. Bestrebelser på å utvikle en pellet som motstår de nødvendige høye trykk ved tablett-pressingen, er forbundet med drastiske begrensninger i utvalget av overtrekksmaterialer og pellet-størrelse (sml. DE-OS 23 36 218). It is also known in the field that pellets cannot be pressed into tablets. The necessary high pressure, which in that case had to be used, leads at least partially to a destruction of the pellet body so that the conditions for the release of the active substance change in an unfavorable direction. Efforts to develop a pellet that withstands the necessary high pressures during tablet pressing are associated with drastic limitations in the selection of coating materials and pellet size (cf. DE-OS 23 36 218).

Foreliggende oppfinnelse har hatt til oppgave å tilveie-bringe en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av formlegemer av pellets, som ikke i løpet av fremstillingen fordrer anvendelse av de høye presstrykk som vanligvis trengs ved tablett-pressing. The present invention has had the task of providing a method for the production of shaped bodies from pellets, which does not during the production require the use of the high pressing pressures that are usually needed in tablet pressing.

Det har dessuten vært en oppgave å foreslå en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av galenisk tablettform som tillater oppdeling én eller flere ganger under bibehold av de karakteristiske egenskaper, som f.eks. retard-virkning. It has also been a task to propose a method for the production of galenic tablet form which allows division one or more times while maintaining the characteristic properties, such as e.g. retard action.

En ytterligere oppgave-har bestått i å foreslå en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av en galenisk pelletform som brytes ned i et vandig miljø og frigjør de enkelte pellets i løpet av et akseptabelt tidsrom. A further task has consisted in proposing a method for the production of a galenic pellet form which breaks down in an aqueous environment and releases the individual pellets during an acceptable period of time.

I henhold til foreliggende oppfinnelse løses oppgaven ved en fremgangsmåte hvor pellets innleires i en smeltbar (sinterbar) matriks, hvor formlegemet eventuelt kan ha inn-retninger, f.eks. innhakk, for bedre oppdeling. According to the present invention, the task is solved by a method where pellets are embedded in a fusible (sinterable) matrix, where the shaped body can possibly have devices, e.g. notch, for better division.

I henhold til oppfinnelsen tilveiebringes en fremgangsmåte for fremstilling av et formlegeme av pellets med retardert kontrollert virkestoff-frigjøring i en smeltbar matriks av et farmakologisk akseptabelt, vannløslig eller vann-emulgerbart bindemiddel med smeltepunkt under 100°C, som omfatter sukkeralkoholer eller deres estere med næringsmiddelsyrer, fettsyrer eller deres mono- eller diglycerider, sakkarider eller polyetylenglykoler eller blandinger av de nevnte stoffer. According to the invention, a method is provided for the production of a molded body of pellets with delayed controlled active substance release in a meltable matrix of a pharmacologically acceptable, water-soluble or water-emulsifiable binder with a melting point below 100°C, which comprises sugar alcohols or their esters with food acids , fatty acids or their mono- or diglycerides, saccharides or polyethylene glycols or mixtures of the aforementioned substances.

Fremgangsmåten karakteriseres ved at enten The procedure is characterized by either

a) pellets fylles i former og deretter støpes ut med det smeltede bindemiddel, a) pellets are filled into molds and then cast out with the molten binder,

eller or

b) pelletene omhyllet med bindemiddel, fylles i former og deretter gis en kortvarig oppvarming, b) the pellets are coated with binder, filled into molds and then briefly heated,

idet bindemidlet anvendes i en mengde på 5 - 50 vekt-% basert på mengden av pellets. the binder being used in an amount of 5 - 50% by weight based on the amount of pellets.

Begrepet smeltbar eller sinterbar matriks står for en matriks som fastner under fremstillingen enten ved stivning av en smelte eller ved sintring (kortvarig oppvarming) av et pulverformet materiale. The term fusible or sinterable matrix stands for a matrix that sticks during production either by solidification of a melt or by sintering (short-term heating) of a powdered material.

Ved begrepet formlegeme skal det i henhold til oppfinnelsen ikke bare forstås tablett- eller kapsel-lignende former, men alle utførelser som danner en form og egner seg for oral applikasjon. According to the invention, the term molded body shall not only mean tablet- or capsule-like forms, but all designs which form a form and are suitable for oral application.

For formlegemet fremstilt i henhold til oppfinnelsen stilles ingen begrensende krav til stabiliteten av pellet-innkapslingen eller til pellet-størrelsen. Som pellets er alle produkter fremstillet etter kjente drasjerings- resp. over-trekks-metoder egnet. Til disse regnes uretarderte (dvs. direkte oppløselige), pellets med mavesaft-resistent overtrekk og retardpellets. Matriksen består av bindemidler og eventuelt tilsetningsstoffer av de typer som vanligvis finner anvendelse innen den galeniske teknikk. Bindemidlet bør være vannløselig eller i det minste emulgerbart i vann, eventuelt i avhengighet av pH-verdien, og fortrinnsvis oppvise et smeltepunkt på under 100°C. For the shaped body produced according to the invention, no limiting requirements are placed on the stability of the pellet encapsulation or on the pellet size. As pellets, all products are manufactured according to known coating or overdraft methods suitable. These include unretarded (i.e. directly soluble), pellets with a gastric juice-resistant coating and retarded pellets. The matrix consists of binders and possibly additives of the types that usually find use within the galenic technique. The binder should be water-soluble or at least emulsifiable in water, possibly depending on the pH value, and preferably have a melting point below 100°C.

Foretrukne bindemidler er sukkeralkoholer, som f.eks. manitt, xylitt og sorbitt samt deres estere med næringsmiddelsyrer, så som vinsyre, sitronsyre, eplesyre, melkesyre; fettsyrer og deres mono- eller diglycerider, sukkerblandinger, f.eks. mono- eller disakkarider, eller glukosesirup, mono-eller diglycerider og deres derivater, eller blandinger av de nevnte stoffer. Preferred binders are sugar alcohols, such as e.g. mannitol, xylitol and sorbitol and their esters with food acids, such as tartaric acid, citric acid, malic acid, lactic acid; fatty acids and their mono- or diglycerides, sugar mixtures, e.g. mono- or disaccharides, or glucose syrup, mono- or diglycerides and their derivatives, or mixtures of the aforementioned substances.

Som hjelpestoffer med høyt smeltepunkt anvendes fortrinnsvis evtektiske blandinger med et smeltepunkt på mindre enn 100°C. Eutectic mixtures with a melting point of less than 100°C are preferably used as auxiliaries with a high melting point.

Et egnet bindemiddel for en smeltbar matriks er en blanding av sukker, melkesukker, sorbitt, stivelsessirup og vann som i litteraturen også omtales som "Basic Mix". Dette er en glassaktig masse med et mykningspunkt på 55-90°C og en residualvann-mengde på ca. 0,5-2%. A suitable binder for a fusible matrix is a mixture of sugar, milk sugar, sorbitol, starch syrup and water, which is also referred to in the literature as "Basic Mix". This is a glassy mass with a softening point of 55-90°C and a residual water quantity of approx. 0.5-2%.

Spesielt foretrukne bindemidler er polyetylenglykoler som for eksempel Polywachs 1500, Polywachs 6000 eller Polywachs 20.000, som har et stivnepunkt på mellom 25 og 60°C. Particularly preferred binders are polyethylene glycols such as Polywachs 1500, Polywachs 6000 or Polywachs 20,000, which have a solidification point of between 25 and 60°C.

Formlegemer fremstilt i henhold til oppfinnelsen som inneholder polyetylenglykoler som bindemiddel, utgjør en foretrukket utførelsesform, idet formlegemet raskt faller sammen i et vandig miljø og disse pellets kan lett svelges som en slags "vandig suspensjon". Shaped bodies produced according to the invention which contain polyethylene glycols as a binder are a preferred embodiment, as the shaped body quickly collapses in an aqueous environment and these pellets can be easily swallowed as a kind of "aqueous suspension".

Et ytterligere kriterium for valget av bindemiddel er at det er forlikelig med det retarderte polymer-overtrekk på pelleten. A further criterion for the choice of binder is that it is compatible with the retarded polymer coating on the pellet.

I mer detalj kan fremgangsmåten i henhold til oppfinnelsen gjennomføres som følger: a) Pellets som fremstilles etter metoder kjent fra litteraturen, og som er forsynt med et retarderende overtrekk, fylles i egnede former, hvoretter formen overhelles med en tilstrekkelig mengde av det smeltede bindemiddel. Mengden av anvendt bindemiddel, eventuelt tilsatt galeniske tilsetningsstoffer, utgjør mellom 5 og 50 vektprosent, fortrinnsvis 10-25 vektprosent, beregnet på basis av mengden av pellets. Etter avkjøling tas de ferdige formlegemer ut av formen og konfeksjoneres. For å forenkle uttaket kan formen på forhånd påføres et glattemiddel. Egnede former er slike som muliggjør enkelt uttak av det avkjølte formlegemet. In more detail, the method according to the invention can be carried out as follows: a) Pellets which are produced according to methods known from the literature, and which are provided with a retarding coating, are filled into suitable molds, after which the mold is poured over with a sufficient amount of the molten binder. The amount of binder used, optionally added galenic additives, is between 5 and 50 percent by weight, preferably 10-25 percent by weight, calculated on the basis of the amount of pellets. After cooling, the finished molded bodies are removed from the mold and assembled. To simplify removal, a smoothing agent can be applied to the mold in advance. Suitable molds are those which enable easy removal of the cooled molded body.

b) Etter en annen utførelsesform i henhold til oppfinnelsen, påføres bindemidlet i egnet tykkelse på de allerede retarderte b) According to another embodiment according to the invention, the binder is applied in a suitable thickness to the already retarded

pellets. Dette kan eksempelvis foregå etter en drasjerings-metode. Tykkelsen av bindemiddelskiktet avhenger i det vesentlige av pellet-størrelsen og kan fastslås gjennom enkle forsøk. Mengden anvendt bindemiddel ligger i alminnelighet mellom 5 og 50 vektprosent, fortrinnsvis mellom 10 og 25 vektprosent, beregnet på basis av pelletmengden. pellets. This can, for example, take place using a coating method. The thickness of the binder layer essentially depends on the pellet size and can be determined through simple experiments. The amount of binder used is generally between 5 and 50 percent by weight, preferably between 10 and 25 percent by weight, calculated on the basis of the amount of pellets.

Bindemiddelovertrukne pellets fylles i former og forbindes med hverandre ved kortvarig oppvarming, hvorved bindemidlet en kort stund smelter, i det minste på overflaten. Den nødvendige varme for smeltingen av bindemidlet kan til-føres via formen ved passende utformede former som dessuten eventuelt også er forsynt med avkjølingsanordninger. Om temperaturtilførsel ikke er mulig gjennom formen, kan den nødvendige energi for den kortvarige smelting tilføres "utenfra", eksempelvis ved mikrobølgebestråling eller i en varmeinnretning som f.eks. en enkel ovn. Det dreier seg i det vesentlige om å sikre at retardskiktet for de enkelte pellets ikke skades ved overopphetning. Binder-coated pellets are filled into molds and connected to each other by brief heating, whereby the binder briefly melts, at least on the surface. The necessary heat for the melting of the binder can be supplied via the mold by means of suitably designed molds which are also optionally equipped with cooling devices. If temperature supply is not possible through the mold, the necessary energy for the short-term melting can be supplied "from outside", for example by microwave irradiation or in a heating device such as a simple oven. It is essentially about ensuring that the retarder layer for the individual pellets is not damaged by overheating.

c) Etter en annen utførelsesform i henhold til oppfinnelsen blandes de retarderte pellets sammen med bindemidlet og fylles c) According to another embodiment according to the invention, the retarded pellets are mixed together with the binder and filled

over i en form. Den videre bearbeidning skjer som beskrevet under b). into a form. The further processing takes place as described under b).

d) Ved en ytterligere utførelsesform i henhold til oppfinnelsen blir de ellers retarderte pellets anbrakt sammen med d) In a further embodiment according to the invention, the otherwise retarded pellets are placed together with

bindemidlet i en form. Ved oppvarming blir bindemidlet jevnt fordelt mellom pelletene ved utvikling av et drivmiddel slik at det ønskede formlegeme oppstår etter avkjølingen. Som drivmiddel egner seg forbindelser som er farmakologisk akseptable og har et dekomponeringspunkt i området for binde-midlets smeltepunkt. Dessuten er lavtkokende oppløsnings-midler, som f.eks. hydrokarboner, halogenerte hydrokarboner, perhalogenerte hydrokarboner og alkoholer egnet som drivmiddel dersom disse er forlikelige med det retarderende overtrekk. Ved spesielt utformede former kan en inert gass, f.eks. press-luft, nitrogen, finne anvendelse som drivmiddel. the binder in a form. When heated, the binder is evenly distributed between the pellets by developing a propellant so that the desired shape is created after cooling. Suitable propellants are compounds that are pharmacologically acceptable and have a decomposition point in the range of the binder's melting point. In addition, low-boiling solvents, such as e.g. hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, perhalogenated hydrocarbons and alcohols suitable as propellant if these are compatible with the retarding coating. With specially designed forms, an inert gas, e.g. compressed air, nitrogen, find use as a propellant.

Ved oppvarming (sintring) av formlegemet, spesielt ved de beskrevne fremgangsmåter b) og c), skjer det som følge av mykningen av pelletmassen en liten volumkontraksjon. For å forhindre sprekker og for å oppnå et enhetlig utseende, er det en fordel å utsette det fremdeles varme formlegemet for et lite trykk for å understøtte den ønskede forming. Herunder må de anvendte trykk selvsagt være så lave at pelletene, spesielt retarderingen av disse, ikke kan skades. Ved en egnet utforming av formene er det tilstrekkelig at formene skakes kortvarig for å oppnå en sammenpakning. When heating (sintering) the shaped body, especially in the described methods b) and c), a small volume contraction occurs as a result of the softening of the pellet mass. In order to prevent cracks and to achieve a uniform appearance, it is an advantage to subject the still warm mold body to a small pressure to support the desired shaping. Below this, the applied pressures must of course be so low that the pellets, especially their retardation, cannot be damaged. In the case of a suitable design of the forms, it is sufficient that the forms are shaken briefly to achieve compaction.

I en spesiell utførelsesform av fremgangsmåten i henhold til oppfinnelsen, benyttes dyptrukne folier av kunststoff med passende utforminger for formlegemet (med eventuell ytterligere utforminger for dannelse av delehakket). In a special embodiment of the method according to the invention, deep-drawn foils made of plastic are used with suitable designs for the mold body (with any additional designs for forming the dividing notch).

Fyllingen av foliene og fremstillingen av formlegemene foregår etter en av de fremgangsmåter som er beskrevet under a-d, idet folien samtidig benyttes som form. Etter avkjøling av formlegemene forsegles folien med aluminiumfolie. Ved bruk trykkes formlegemet ut gjennom aluminiumfolien. The filling of the foils and the production of the shaped bodies takes place according to one of the methods described under a-d, the foil being used as a mold at the same time. After the molds have cooled, the foil is sealed with aluminum foil. When in use, the molded body is pressed out through the aluminum foil.

Et formlegeme fremstillet etter fremgangsmåtene b, c eller d, kan alt etter mengden av det anvendte bindemiddel, oppvise en ujevn overflate. Dette har imidlertid ingen inn-flytelse på virkestoff-frigjøringsforholdene. Depending on the amount of binder used, a molded body produced according to methods b, c or d may have an uneven surface. However, this has no influence on the active substance release conditions.

Formlegemer fremstillet etter fremgangsmåte b oppviser en porøs indre struktur. Forbindelsen mellom de enkelte pellets består kun i de respektive berøringspunkter. Slike formlegemer har derfor gunstigere sønderdelingsegenskaper, ved at vann eller de tilsvarende fordøyelsesvæsker trenger hurtigere inn og kan oppløse bindemidlet. Shaped bodies produced according to method b have a porous internal structure. The connection between the individual pellets only consists of the respective contact points. Such shaped bodies therefore have more favorable disintegration properties, in that water or the corresponding digestive fluids penetrate faster and can dissolve the binder.

Når det ønskes, kan det oppnås en jevn overflate ved hjelp av et ytterligere overtrekk av bindemiddel eller en lakkering av formlegemet. When desired, a smooth surface can be achieved by means of a further coating of binder or a varnishing of the molded body.

I en spesiell utførelsesform for fremgangsmåter i henhold til oppfinnelsen kan formlegemene dessuten overtrekkes med en mavesaft-resistent eller retarderende lakkering. In a special embodiment of methods according to the invention, the shaped bodies can also be coated with a gastric juice-resistant or retarding coating.

I en spesiell utførelsesform kan det også benyttes mavesaft-resistente bindemidler slik at pellet-frigjøringen først skjer ved passasje gjennom tarmen. In a special embodiment, gastric juice-resistant binders can also be used so that the pellet is released only when it passes through the intestine.

Anordninger for oppdeling av formlegemet, f.eks. ved delehakk kan innføres ved tilsvarende utformede former eller foretas etterpå med et oppvarmet verktøy eller i det fremdeles myke, dvs. ikke avkjølte formlegeme, ved bearbeidning med et passende utformet verktøy. Devices for dividing the molded body, e.g. by partial notching can be introduced by correspondingly designed molds or carried out afterwards with a heated tool or in the still soft, i.e. not cooled, mold body by processing with a suitably designed tool.

En vesentlig fordel ved formlegemer av pellets fremstilt i henhold til oppfinnelsen, er at det ikke skjer noen mekanisk beskadigelse av de enkelte pellets. Herved bibeholdes de retarderende egenskaper av de enkelte pellets fullstendig, spesielt også etter en deling av formlegemt. Det er en selv-følge at formlegemene av pellets fremstilt i henhold til oppfinnelsen også kan fremstilles fra slike pellets som ikke er forsynt med en retarderende eller mavesaft-resistent omhylling. A significant advantage of shaped bodies made of pellets produced according to the invention is that no mechanical damage occurs to the individual pellets. In this way, the retarding properties of the individual pellets are completely retained, especially also after a division of the molded body. It is a matter of course that the shaped bodies of pellets produced according to the invention can also be produced from such pellets which are not provided with a retarding or gastric juice-resistant coating.

De etterfølgende eksempler skal illustere oppfinnelsen ytterligere uten å begrense oppfinnelsen til de illustrerte former. De former som er vist i Eksempel 1, ble fremstillet under bruk av vanlige fremgangsmåter for retarderte pellets. The following examples shall further illustrate the invention without limiting the invention to the illustrated forms. The shapes shown in Example 1 were produced using normal methods for retarded pellets.
