Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology and describes a dosage form for oral administration of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole.
  • the invention additionally relates to proces-ses for producing the dosage form.
  • peroral administration forms e.g. tablets or pellets which contain an acid-labile active compound
  • enteric coating which, after passage through the stomach, rapidly dissolves in the alkaline medium of the intestine.
  • acid-labile active compounds are acid-labile proton pump inhibitors (H + /K + ATPase inhibitors), in particular pyridin-2-ylmethylsulfinyl-1H-benzimidazoles, such as are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 005 129, EP-A-0 166 287, EP-A-0 174 726 and EP-A-0 268 956.
  • active compounds from this group which are commercially available are 5-methoxy-2-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethyl-2-pyridinyl)methylsulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole (INN: omeprazole), 5-difluoromethoxy-2-[(3,4-di-methoxy-2-pyridinyl)methylsulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole (INN: pantoprazole), 2-[3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoro-ethoxy)-2-pyridinyl)methylsulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole (INN: lansoprazole) and 2- ⁇ [4-(3-methoxypropoxy)-3-methylpyridin-2-yl]-methylsulfinyl
  • the substances suitable for enteric coatings are those having free carboxyl groups, the problem results that the enteric coating is partly dissolved or even dissolved from inside because of the alkaline medium in the interior and the free carboxyl groups promote the decomposition of the active compounds. It may therefore be necessary to provide an isolating intermediate layer (subcoating) between the enteric coating and the alkaline tablet core or pellet. It is proposed in EP-A-0 244 380 to coat cores which contain the active compound together with alkaline compounds or as an alkaline salt with at least one layer of nonacidic, inert pharmaceutically acceptable substances, which are soluble in water or rapidly decompose in water, before the enteric layer is applied.
  • the intermediate layer or intermediate layers act as pH-buffering zones in which the hydrogen ions diffusing in from outside can react with the hydroxyl ions diffusing from the alkaline core.
  • buffer substances In order to increase the buffer capacity of the intermediate layer, it is proposed to incorporate buffer substances into the intermediate layer(s). In practice, it is possible by this process to obtain somewhat stable preparations. However, relatively thick intermediate layers are needed in order to avoid the unsightly discolorations occurring even in the case of only slight decomposition. Moreover, a considerable effort is to be made in the preparation to avoid traces of moisture.
  • EP-A-0 519 365 a formulation on the principle of the alkaline core coated with a water-soluble intermediate layer and an enteric coating is proposed for the active compound pantoprazole, in which improved stability is achieved by use of polyvinylpyrrolidone and/or hydroxypropylmethylcellulose as binders for the alkaline core. It is disclosed that as binder a polyvinylpyrolindone of higher molecular weight is used.
  • EP-A-0 342 522 discloses a formulation for acid-sensitive benzimidazoles in which, between the alkaline core and the enteric coating, an intermediate layer is located which is composed of only slightly water-soluble film-forming material, such as ethylcellulose and polyvinyl acetate, and a slightly water-soluble finely granular inorganic or organic material suspended therein, such as, for example, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide or sucrose fatty acid esters.
  • slightly water-soluble film-forming material such as ethylcellulose and polyvinyl acetate
  • a slightly water-soluble finely granular inorganic or organic material suspended therein such as, for example, magnesium oxide, silicon oxide or sucrose fatty acid esters.
  • EP-A-0 277 741 describes spherical granules having a core which is coated with spray powder, which contains low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose and a benzimidazole compound having anti-ulcer activity. These granules can be coated with an enteric coating agent.
  • EP-A-1 213 015 discloses an oral pharmaceutical composition with delayed release of proton pump inhibitors.
  • the International Patent Application WO97/41114 describes a specific process for the preparation of magnesium salts of pyridin-2-ylmethylsulfinyl-1H-benzimidazoles.
  • the preparation of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole is also described by way of example. According to the analysis data indicated, the salt prepared is pantoprazole magnesium in anhydrous form.
  • Pantoprazole magnesium oral pharmaceutical dosage forms available as delayed release forms are found in-vitro to have prolonged dissolution times as compared to corresponding dosage forms containing pantoprazole sodium. From a pharmakokinetic point of view it may thus be expected that pantoprazole magnesium oral dosage forms may have clinical disadvantages, e.g. delayed onset of action as compared to pantoprazole sodium oral dosage forms. Surprisingly, it has been found now that pantoprazole magnesium oral dosage forms have unexpected release profiles of active ingredient and clinical advantages.
  • the invention therefore relates to an oral pharmaceutical dosage form comprising pantoprazole magnesium together with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
  • oral dosage forms for pantoprazole magnesium salt comprising low molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone as excipient show stability and a distinctly improved release profile for the active ingredient as compared to oral dosage forms for pantoprazole magnesium salt known from the art.
  • the invention therefore also relates to a dosage form for oral administration of pantoprazole magnesium salt comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the pantoprazole magnesium salt together with low molecular weight polyvinylpyrrolidone and one or more other suitable pharmaceutical excipients.
  • a dosage form means, in particular, a medicinal dosage form such as a tablet, a coated tablet, a multi-particulate form such as pellets or pellets and microtablets in a capsule or a multiple unit tableted dosage form (such as disclosed in WO 96/01623), with the dosage form advantageously being designed so that the pantoprazole magnesium salt is released, or made available effectively for the body, in such a way that an optimal active ingredient profile, and thus action profile, is achieved.
  • Unit in connection with the multiple unit tableted dosage form refers to an individual unit containing the pantoprazole magnesium salt, which individual unit can be a small bead, particle, granule or pellet, in connection with the invention also referred to as pellet.
  • Suitable dosage forms are for example disclosed in EP-A-0 519 365, EP-A-0 244 380, EP-A-1 213 015, EP-A-1 105 105, EP-A-1 037 634, EP-A-1 187 601 and EP-A-1 341 528.
  • the oral dosage form of the invention is preferably a dosage form with modified release of the active ingredient, in particular with delayed release of active ingredient.
  • an enteric coated dosage form comprising at least one enteric coating layer which is stable and does not release the active ingredient under acidic conditions but rapidly dissolves in neutral conditions and in particular in the alkaline medium of the intestine.
  • the dosage form according to the invention in addition to the enteric coating layer contains one or more intermediate layers (subcoating layers).
  • the dosage form according to the invention comprises at least one enteric coating layer but does not contain an intermediate layer.
  • Pantoprazole is the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) for the compound 5-difluoromethoxy-2-[(3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl)methylsulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazole.
  • the magnesium salt of pantoprazole is the chemical compound magnesium bis[5-[difluoromethoxy]-2-[[3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl]methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimidazolide].
  • the pantoprazole magnesium salt can also be present in hydrate form (e.g. monohydrate, sesquihadrate or dihydrate).
  • a particular preferred hydrate in connection with the invention is the dihydrate of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole with the chemical name magnesium bis[5-[difluoromethoxy]-2-[[3,4-dimethoxy-2-pyridinyl]methyl]sulfinyl]-1H-benzimi-dazolide] dihydrate.
  • the synthesis of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole is described for example in International Patent Application WO97/41114 and the synthesis of the dihydrate of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole is disclosed in International Patent Application WO00/10995.
  • pantoprazole Because of a great tendency to decompose in a neutral and, in particular, acidic environment, which also results in highly colored decomposition products, for oral compositions, it is preferred on the one hand to keep the magnesium salt of pantoprazole in an alkaline environment and, on the other hand, to protect it from exposure to acids. It is generally known to coat tablets or pellets, which contain an acid-labile active ingredient with an enteric coating which, after passage through the stomach, rapidly dissolves in the alkaline medium in the intestine. In the case of pantoprazole, which is very acid-labile, it is preferred to process it in the tablet core or in pellets in the form of its alkaline salts, and preferably together with alkaline substances.
  • EP-A 0244380 proposes to coat cores, which contain the active ingredient together with alkaline compounds or as alkaline salt with at least one layer, which is soluble in water or rapidly disintegrates in water, of nonacidic, inert pharmaceutically-acceptable substance before the enteric layer is applied.
  • the intermediate layer or intermediate layers act as pH-buffering zones in which hydrogen ions, which diffuse in from the outside, are able to react with the hydroxyl ions which diffuse out of the alkaline core.
  • buffer substance In order to increase the buffer capacity of the intermediate layer, it is proposed to incorporate buffer substance into the intermediate layer(s). It is possible in practice by this method to obtain rather stable compositions.
  • the invention therefore also relates to an oral dosage form in pellet or tablet form for magnesium salt of pantoprazole comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole together with one or more other pharmaceutical excipients in a pellet or tablet core, at least one subcoating (intermediate layer) and an outer enteric layer which is soluble in the small intestine.
  • the invention further relates to an oral dosage form in pellet or tablet form for magnesium salt of pantoprazole comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole together with one or more other pharmaceutical excipients in an alkaline pellet or tablet core, at least one subcoating (intermediate layer) and an outer enteric layer which is soluble in the small intestine.
  • the invention also relates to an oral dosage form in pellet or tablet form for magnesium salt of pantoprazole comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole together with polyvinypyrrolidon and optionally one or more other pharmaceutical excipients in an alkaline pellet or tablet core, at least one subcoating (intermediate layer) and an outer enteric layer which is soluble in the small intestine.
  • the invention also relates to an oral dosage form in pellet or tablet form for magnesium salt of pantoprazole comprising a therapeutically effective amount of the magnesium salt of pantoprazole together with PVP90 and optionally one or more other pharmaceutical excipients in an alkaline pellet or tablet core, at least one subcoating (intermediate layer) and an outer enteric layer which is soluble in the small intestine.

  • Flavors are usually added in a proportion of from 0.05 to 1% by weight.
  • Other flavoring substances by way of example are acids such as citric acid, sweeteners such as saccharin, aspartame, cyclamate sodium or maltol, which are added according to the desired result.
  • Suitable binders which can be used for preparing the tablet or pellet core are polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), hydroxypropymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, gelatine, whereby PVP is preferred.
