Description of the Invention (ί) The present invention relates to a soft capsule preparation such as that comprising cyclosporin as an active ingredient. More specifically, the present invention relates to a soft capsule preparation including a stable cyclosporin composition in a capsule shell containing a specific forming agent, and a method for preparing the same. Cyclosporine is a special macromolecule (molecular weight 1 2 0 2 · 6 4) cyclic peptide compound, which is composed of 11 amino acids, which has a wide range of effective pharmacological activities, especially immunosuppressive activity and Anti-inflammatory activity. Therefore, cyclosporin has been used to inhibit the innate immune response caused by living tissue and organ transplantation, such as heart, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, bone marrow, skin and corneal transplantation, and especially foreign Tissue and organ transplants. In addition, cyclosporin can effectively inhibit blood diseases such as anemia; different autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and spontaneous malabsorption syndromes; and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis and rheumatism. Cyclosporine is effective in treating protozoal diseases such as malaria and schistosomiasis, and more recently, it has also been used in chemotherapy. Cyclosporine is highly lipophilic and hydrophobic. Therefore, cyclosporin lacks water-soluble properties, and in addition, it is soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, acetone, ether, chloroform, and solvents of the same nature. Because cyclosporin has the aforementioned low water-solubility properties, when cyclosporin is administered orally, its bioavailability is quite low and can be extremely affected by the condition of each individual patient. From the above, it is difficult to maintain an effective therapeutic concentration. Furthermore, cyclosporin may show noticeable side effects such as toxic and renal properties. Therefore, cyclosporin is difficult to prepare for oral administration due to its low water solubility. From the above, a large number of research reports have been guided. 3 The paper standard is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page)

Description of the invention (,) How to find a cyclosporine preparation suitable for effective oral administration, which can provide a suitable uniform dose and appropriate Bioavailability. In the prior art, cyclosporin preparations lacking water solubility suitable for oral administration have generally been prepared in the form of a first concentrated emulsion. A typical method is to use the composition taught in U.S. Patent No. 4,38,308, issued on June 14, 1983. The patent discloses a cyclosporin liquid formulation using ethanol. According to the method disclosed in the US patent specification, cyclosporin and a carrier composed of ethanol as a common surfactant; olive oil as a vegetable oil; a transesterified product of natural vegetable oil triglyceride; and a Polyolefinic hydrocarbon-based polyols as surfactants are combined to form the liquid formulation. However, when the resulting liquid formulation is administered as an aqueous diluent, it becomes very difficult for the patient to adapt the method of administration and to provide a uniform dose when administered orally. In order to alleviate the inconvenience of diluting the cyclosporin liquid composition in water before oral administration, a liquid composition in the form of a concentrated emulsion has been made into a soft capsule preparation. The soft capsule is currently commercially available Such as San Dei Meng (S andimmune) (registered trademark) obtained. In this case, the cyclosporine soft capsule thus contained ethanol due to the need for cyclosporin solubility. However, since ethanol is volatile even at normal temperature, it can penetrate the gelatin shell of the capsule. To prevent ethanol from volatilizing from the soft capsule preparation during storage and distribution, the soft capsule preparation can be packed in a special packaging material. Inside, for example, an aluminum-aluminum foam packaging. Recently developed a kind of "stability during storage" and further provides the substance 4 paper size applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 g t) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) _ · » * Order --------- Line-491712 A7 _____ Β7 ___ 5. Description of the Invention (々) Land will not change its bioavailability, and the difference in cyclosporin preparations between individual patients has become possible Therefore, the biological effect of the cyclosporin can be uniformly maintained. A formulation developed for this purpose, which is disclosed in Korean Public Patent Publication No. 9 3-113, has been commercialized with the registered trademark of Sandimmun Neoral. However, since the formulation also uses ethanol, there may be some disadvantages in storage stability and changes in the ethanol composition of the previous formulation containing ethanol. From the above, the inventors of the present case have investigated various combinations of different surfactants, oil components, common surfactants, etc., and found a cyclosporin composition that is stable and provides a high degree of bioavailability. From the perspective of pharmacokinetic properties, the cyclosporin composition has lower blood grade differences among individual patients than other previous cyclosporin preparations. Therefore, we have identified a specific cyclosporin composition that includes the components defined below, and that meets the above-mentioned needs and can be accomplished by the present invention. Therefore, an aspect of the present invention is to provide a composition suitable for making a soft capsule formulation, comprising cyclosporin as an active ingredient; a polyethylene glycol with a hydrophilic ingredient or a propylene carbonate with a non-hydrophilic ingredient. Or a mixture thereof, an oil component as defined below; and a surfactant. A still further aspect of the present invention is to provide a soft capsule preparation comprising a cyclosporin composition as an active ingredient; a hydrophilic ingredient polyethylene glycol or a non-hydrophilic ingredient propylene carbonate or a mixture thereof, A mixture of fatty acids and primary alcohol esterified compounds as an oil component, medium chain fatty acid triglycerides (if required) and fats 5 This paper is sized to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) · * Order l · ------- line—should 491712 A7 __B7_ V.

A still further aspect of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a soft and soft capsule formulation as defined above. Even with the present invention, what is described herein, especially with regard to soft capsules, it can be understood that the scope of the present invention includes that the composition itself can be used as, for example, a concoction solution, for example, San de Imonio fever ( Sandimmun Neoral), or other uniform dosage forms. In one aspect, the present invention relates to a capsule containing cyclosporin, which has a high storage stability. After a period of time, the composition does not change much, and it can improve bioavailability. A cyclosporin composition as an active ingredient; a polyethylene glycol as a hydrophilic ingredient or a propylene carbonate as a non-hydrophilic ingredient or a mixture thereof as a second ingredient; an oil ingredient as defined below; and a surface Active agent. To make the cyclosporin-containing composition into a soft capsule preparation, a gelatin shell is used. However, when a soft capsule is made of a capsule shell that generally contains glycerin as a shaping agent, the soft capsule preparation has some disadvantages. As the glycerol influent enters the emulsion, the emulsified state of the previously concentrated emulsion is thus possible. The change, therefore, significantly reduces the solubility of the cyclosporin and causes precipitation of the cyclosporin from the emulsion. From the above, a preferred gelatin shell of the present invention is to use a mixture of glycerol and polyethylene glycol as a molding agent for a soft capsule shell, rather than glycerin, which can solve the problem of influx of glycerin. However, according to the present invention, when the capsule containing propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol 6 paper size is applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order -Bu ------- line "491712 A7 ___B7 _ 5. Description of the invention (<) When the shell belt is prepared by a traditional water cooling method using a cooling cylinder, the capsule shell belt is not easy to remove Remove from the cylinder. The movability of the capsule shell belt removed from the cooling cylinder can be improved by making the cooling cylinder too cold, and a cooling water can be continuously circulated to reduce the temperature of the belt to 17 degrees Celsius. However, the capsule shell tape cooled to a low temperature may form a low degree of sealing during the coating process and cause a decrease in productivity. Therefore, according to the present invention, the method of preparing a gelatin shell tape without glycerin forming agent is to use an air cooling method instead of the previous water cooling method. The capsule shell tape is cooled to an optimal temperature by the air flow supplied by a fan. Therefore, it can be easily removed from the cooling cylinder, and further, the capsule shell strip is maintained at an optimal temperature of about 21 degrees Celsius to increase its degree of packaging in the coating process and ensure high productivity. As described above, the product is produced by using a glycerin-free gelatin capsule shell and using an air-cooling method for a composition containing no low-boiling volatile solvent ethanol, and therefore, it has a high degree of storage stability. After time, the composition has few variations and can increase bioavailability. More precisely, the present invention relates to a cyclosporin preparation comprising a composition comprising 1) cyclosporin as an active ingredient; 2) polyethylene glycol or propylene carbonate or a mixture thereof; 3 ) A mixture of an esterified compound of a fatty acid and a primary alcohol as an oil component, a fatty acid monoglyceride, and optionally a medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride; and 4) an HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance) 値 8 to 1 7 of the surface 7 This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (21〇χ 297 public love) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) I -------- Order-- ------- line "491712 A7 _____B7_____ 5. Description of the invention (W) Active agent. For example, in a gelatin shell containing polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol as forming agents, another aspect of the present invention provides a cyclosporin preparation comprising a composition comprising 1) cyclosporin as an active ingredient Bacteriocin; and 2) propylene carbonate. A composition may optionally include any other ingredients described herein, and the composition is also a composition of the present invention, and its portion may be described herein if necessary. The cyclosporin according to the present invention is used as a pharmaceutically active ingredient of the composition. As described above, cyclosporin is a cyclic peptide compound having effective immunosuppressive activity and anti-inflammatory activity. Although cyclosporin A, B, C, D, G and the like can be used as the cyclosporin component of the present invention. Since the clinical effect and pharmacological properties of cyclosporin A have been completely established in this technology, it is the best choice. According to the present invention, polyethylene glycol, which is the second component of the composition and a co-surfactant, has a high boiling point, is non-volatile, does not penetrate the gelatin shell of the soft capsule, and has the property of cyclosporin High solubility, can be used as a hydrophilic substance. According to the composition of the present invention, although any liquefiable polyethylene glycol can be used, polyethylene glycol (PEG) having a molecular weight of 200 to 600, especially PEG 200 is most preferable. Alternatively, propylene carbonate (boiling point is about 242 ° C) can also be used as a non-hydrophilic ingredient. In the present invention, a mixture of a non-hydrophilic substance and a hydrophilic substance as defined above may also be used.

The surfactant may include any of the above-mentioned surfactants used alone, or preferably, two or more kinds of surfactants selected from the above-mentioned surfactants and used together are used. In the composition according to the present invention, the surfactant can be used in a ratio of 1 to 10, preferably 2 to 8, based on cyclosporin per part by weight. In addition, when a mixture of two surfactants is used, even polyoxyethylene (50) hydrogenated castor oil and polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitol monolaurate used in the composition of the present invention, the polyoxyethylene (5 0) hydrogenated castor oil: The composition ratio of polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitol monolaurate is based on weight, preferably in the range of 1: 0 · 1-5 and more preferably in the range of 1: 0 · 5-4 range.

Description of the invention (, 〇) The better weight ratio of oil component: surfactant is 1: 0 · 5- 8: 2 to 6: 2-8. In addition to the composition, the compositions listed in the following examples according to the present invention can be used as further preferable compositions. For oral administration, the composition of the present invention containing the above-mentioned ingredients may be prepared in the form of a soft capsule. Since the soft capsule preparation according to the present invention does not use ethanol with a low-boiling volatile solvent, it has drug stability and can set up desired improvements, including improvements in bioavailability. However, it is difficult to regenerate the conventional soft capsule shell by the conventional method of preparing soft capsules. When the soft capsule is prepared with a conventional glycerin capsule shell containing a forming agent, the prepared soft capsule may have some disadvantages. Since glycerol flows into the emulsion, the emulsification state of the previously concentrated emulsion may change, so the solubility of the cyclosporin is significantly lower, and cyclosporin can be precipitated from the emulsion. From the foregoing, another aspect of the present invention is to find that when the soft capsule shell is prepared by using a mixture of polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol instead of glycerin as a molding agent, the obtained soft capsule preparation can be stabilized for a period of time. Although any liquefiable polyethylene glycol can be used as the molding agent, it is preferable to use a polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of 200 to 600. In particular, it is preferable to use polyethylene glycol 200. In the soft capsule shell according to the present invention, the mixture of polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol is preferably used in a ratio of 0. 1 to 0. 5 based on each portion of gelatin, and more preferably, a weight ratio of 0 is used. From 1 to 0.4, it is best to use a weight ratio of 0.2 to 0.3 as the preparation of the capsule shell. As a forming agent, the paper size of 12 papers is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) · n {mn flu nn 1—0, I nnn > ϋ n 1 mmn a · 491712 A7 _ B7 _V. Description of the invention () In the mixture of polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, the preferred combination of propylene glycol based on each weight of polyethylene glycol is 1 To 10, a better weight ratio is 3 to 8, and an optimal weight ratio is 3 to 6. In order to increase the mobility of the capsule shell strip removal from the cooling cylinder, the method for preparing a capsule shell strip adopts an air cooling method according to the present invention instead of a water cooling method. According to this air cooling method, when the optimal temperature is maintained at about 21 degrees Celsius, since the capsule shell belt is not overheated, it can be easily removed from the cooling cylinder, so that the degree of encapsulation in the coating process can be as high as possible. Productivity, therefore, the method can be effectively processed. In the preparation of the soft capsule according to the present invention, the air volume flow rate suitable for cooling the cylindrical cooling capsule shell is preferably 5 to 15 m3 / min, and more preferably about 10 m3 / min. When the soft capsule is prepared according to the composition of the present invention, the capsule preparation may further include a pharmaceutically acceptable additive conventionally used in soft capsule preparation, if necessary. The additives include, for example, lecithin, viscosity modifiers, flavors (such as peppermint, etc.), antioxidants (such as tocopherol, vitamin E, etc.), preservatives (such as parabene, etc.), colorants , Amino acids and so on. The soft capsule preparation according to the present invention can be prepared by uniformly mixing a common surfactant, an oil component and a surfactant, and when the cyclosporine dissolved therein is gradually stirred and gradually warmed to approximately 60 degrees Celsius, and then prepared The resulting concentrate, with or without the aforementioned pharmaceutically acceptable additives traditionally used in soft capsules, and gelatin shells with polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol as forming agents, are air-cooled in the machine Preparation of soft glue 13 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) ··

Even when the formulation is removed at 100 degrees or more, it is not obvious that the soft capsule formulation prepared by the water cooling method is removed from the cooling cylinder. ----------------- (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page) In contrast, the soft capsule preparation prepared by the air cooling method according to the present invention can It is easily removed from the cooling cylinder at an angle of 50 degrees and below 50 degrees, so it can provide good package strength and productivity. Example 8: A preparation prepared by coating the composition of Example 1 and a gelatin shell having the composition of Example 2 was used as a test preparation for bioavailability, and the commercial product contained ethanol based on Sandemon. The bioavailability comparison of (S ANDIMMUM) capsules as a control group formulation evaluates the impact of the cyclosporin bioavailability according to the present invention on the cyclosporin biodiversity and the differences between individual patients. In this experiment, 300 mg of cyclosporin was administered to the test preparation and the control group preparation per kg of rabbit weight. Under the same conditions in the iron cage, the rabbits were fed the traditional rabbit solid feed composition uniformly for four or more days. When the preparation was administered orally, the rabbits were restricted from fasting in a steel cage for forty-eight hours, during which the rabbits were allowed to drink freely. A Levin's tube having a diameter of 5 mm was coated with petroleum jelly on the surface of the Levin's tube to reduce friction, and was inserted through the esophagus to a depth of 30 cm. Each test group preparation and control group preparation were emulsified with 50 ml of water, and then introduced into a syringe connected to a Raven's tube. Use xylene to dilate the rabbit ear vein, and then before the test, the blood was passed Heparin 20 paper size applicable to Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 491712 A7 B7 V. Disposal of Disposal (tf) Disposal The syringe was removed from the ear vein of each rabbit at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 10 and 24 hours later. The obtained 1 ml of blood was added with 0.5 ml of an aqueous saturated sodium chloride solution and 2 ml of ether, and then the mixture was shaken for 5 minutes and centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the supernatant liquid (ether layer ). One milliliter of the supernatant was collected and then the layer was visualized in an active silica sep-pakR (Waters).
