Abstract
An injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride comprising an aqueous nicardipine hydrochloride solution containing 2-7 w/v % of polyhydric alcohol. This injectable composition can maintain its desired concentration and can be stably stored for a long period of time.
Description
This application is a continuation, of application Ser. No. 140,901, filed 12/23/87, now abandoned; which is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 925,462, filed 10/30/86, now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation of U.S. Pat. No. 735,558, filed 5/15/85, now abandoned.
This invention relates to an injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride having a cerebral vascular dilating activity, a coronary dilator activity, and an anti-hypertension activity. Also, the invention relates to a process of producing the injectable composition. More particularly, the invention relates to an injectable composition containing nicardipine hydrochloride and 2 to 7 W/V% of a polyhydric and a process of producing thereof.
Hitherto, oral administering formulations containing nicardipine hydrochloride have been developed but an injectable composition containing nicardipine hydrochloride has not yet been developed. This is because in the case of using the compound as an injectable composition, the compound shows a reduction in solubility according to the kind of isotonizing agent used and thus an injectable composition having a desired concentration cannot be obtained or the stability of an injectable composition if obtained is insufficient.
The inventors have investigated the possibility of obtaining a desired concentration of nicardipine hydrochloride and the stability of an injectable composition thereof by adding various additives for overcoming the above-described difficulties. As the result of the investigation, it has been found that when sodium chloride which is usually used as an isotonizing agent for injections is added, a desired concentration of nicardipine hydrochloride is not obtained and the injectable composition is insufficient in stability.
As the result of further investigations, it has been discovered that when nicardipine chloride is dissolved in water together with 2 to 7 W/V% of a polyhydric alcohol, a stable aqueous solution of nicardipine hydrochloride is unexpectedly obtained and based on the discovery, the invention has been attained.
Thus, according to an embodiment of this invention, there is provided an injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride containing 2 to 7 W/V% of a polyhydric alcohol.
According to another embodiment of this invention, there is provided a process of producing an injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride which comprises dissolving nicardipine hydrochloride and a polyhydric alcohol in an amount of 2 to 7 W/V% of the total amount to water and adjusting the pH of the solution to 2.5 to 5.
The effect of this invention is greatly increased when the pH of the aqueous solution of nicardipine hydrochloride is adjusted to 2.5 to 5 as described above.
Accordingly, the invention will be explained in detail.
As the polyhydric alcohol for use in this invention, there are sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, propylene glycol, glycerol, inositol, etc. They may be used individually or as a mixture of them. The amount of the polyhydric alcohol is about 2 to 7 W/V%, preferably about 5 W/V% based on the whole amount of the injectable composition. In addition, a certain polyhydric alcohol may show the insufficient isotonization by the use of about 2 W/V% and in such a case, the isotonization of the injectable composition may be controlled by using other isotonizing agent.
Also, if the pH of the injectable composition is lower than 2, the stability of nicardipine hydrochloride is reduced, while if the pH is higher than 6, the solubility of nicardipine hydrochloride is reduced.
There is no particular restriction about the concentration of nicardipine hydrochloride in this invention but is, as a matter of course, dependent upon the amount of the polyhydric alcohol and the pH thereof. By selecting a proper condition, a solubility of about 0.6 W/V% can be obtained.
The injectable composition of this invention is prepared by dissolving predetermined amounts of nicardipine hydrochloride and a polyhydric alcohol in water at 50 to 60° C., adjusting the pH to about 2.5 to 5, preferably about 3.5, and then adjusting the volume of the solution to a predetermined volume by the addition of water. The pH of the solution can be controlled by a mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid and, as the case may be, by a base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium hydrogencarbonate, etc.
The injectable composition of nicardipine hydrochloride thus obtained can maintain its desired concentration (higher than 0.1 W/V%) and can be stored for a long period of time without being accompanied by the change in quality or stability. In addition, it is preferred to use light-resistant ampoules for the injectable composition.
The test relating to the stability of nicardipine hydrochloride and the result thereof are shown below.

Then, the whole volume of the solution was adjusted to 2.5 liters by the addition of distilled water and after filtering the solution, 5 ml each of the solution was filled in each light-resistant brown ampuol.
By following the same procedure as Example 15 while adjusting the pH of the solution to 4.0, an injectable composition was obtained.
By following the same procedure as Example 15 while adjusting the pH of the solution to 5.0 using 0.1N sodium hydroxide in place of 0.1N hydrochloric acid, an injectable composition was obtained.
By following the same procedure as Example 1 using 62.5 g of sorbitol and 62.5 g of mannitol in place of 125 g of sorbitol, an injectable composition was obtained.
By following the same procedure as Example 15 while adjusting the pH of the solution to 2.0, an injectable composition was obtained.
