技術分野 Technical field
本発明は、 2層以上の多層構造からなる錠剤タイプの持続 性製剤に関し、 詳細には外層を徐放性としてそれ自身にタイ ム · ラグを持った持鐃性を持たせると共に、 内層を速溶性と しタイム · ラグを置いて溶出されてきた後においても引続き 治療上もしくは予防上有効な高い生体内濃度を与え続けるこ とができる様な持続性製剤に関するものである。  The present invention relates to a sustained-release tablet-type preparation having a multilayer structure of two or more layers. More specifically, the outer layer is provided as a sustained release to have a self-adhesive property with a time lag, and the inner layer is rapidly dissolved. The present invention relates to a long-acting preparation that can continue to provide a therapeutically or prophylactically effective high in vivo concentration even after being eluted with a time lag.
背景技術 Background art
薬物の経口投与においては、 消化管内に入った経口製剤か ら Q主薬の放出状況を制御することが可能である。 即ち適切 な制御が行なわれるならば、 服用間隔を長くとっても次回服 用までの長時間に亘つて治療上もしくは予防上有効な高い生 体内濃度を保持することが可能となって服用回数の軽減を達 成することができる。 また生体内濃度が一時的に急上昇した ときには毒性や副作用等の危険が増大する様な薬物にあつて は、 適切な放出制御を行うことによって薬物の生体内濃度を 上記危険の生じない範囲であってしかも治療上もしくは予防 上有効な生体内濃度に保つことが強く望まれる。  In oral administration of a drug, it is possible to control the release status of the Q drug from the oral preparation in the gastrointestinal tract. That is, if appropriate control is performed, even if the interval between doses is long, it is possible to maintain a high biological concentration that is therapeutically or prophylactically effective over a long period of time until the next dose, thus reducing the number of doses. Can be achieved. In addition, for a drug whose risk of toxicity or side effects increases when the concentration in the body rapidly rises temporarily, the concentration of the drug in the body is adjusted to a level that does not cause the above risk by performing appropriate release control. Moreover, it is strongly desired to maintain a therapeutically or prophylactically effective in vivo concentration.
その為薬物の経口製剤については新しい D D S (Drug Delivery System) の観点から上記の様な放出制御が検討され、 種々の 持続性製剤が開発されている。 従来提供されてきた持続性薬 剤としては、 例えば薬物を含む顆粒に水不溶性もしくは難溶 性の皮膜を'施したものや、 薬物を同じく水不溶性もしくは難 溶性の連鐃マ トリ ックス中に分散させた所謂マトリ ックス錠 等が挙げ^れ、 これらは薬物が皮膜やマ ト リ ックス中を拡散 していく ときの抵抗によって放出制御を行なうという考え方 の下に種々の製剤設計がなされている。 より詳細に言えば、 これらの製剤における薬物放出の様式は、 水の浸透に伴って 生じる製剤内における薬物濃度勾配を駆動力とするものであ る (拡散律速) 為、 溶出後期になると濃度勾配の緩和や拡散 距離の増大等に起因して溶出速度の減少が認められる。 Therefore, for oral drug preparations, release control as described above has been studied from the viewpoint of a new DDS (Drug Delivery System), and various sustained-release preparations have been developed. Conventional long-acting drugs include, for example, water-insoluble or poorly soluble Or a so-called matrix tablet in which a drug is dispersed in a water-insoluble or poorly soluble cross-linked matrix, etc., and these are drugs in the film or matrix. Various formulations have been designed based on the concept that release is controlled by the resistance when the drug is diffused. More specifically, the mode of drug release in these preparations is driven by the concentration gradient of the drug in the preparation caused by the permeation of water (diffusion-controlled). The elution rate is reduced due to relaxation of the diffusion and increase in the diffusion distance.
持鐃性製剤としては上記の他腸溶性製剤があり、 これは P H による溶解度の違いを利用して胃から腸管へ向かう過程で蕖 物を徐放させていく ものである。 しかしながら体内のある特 定部に着目しても、 p Hは個人差、 年令差、 胃内食物の量、 日内変動、 精神状態による変動等を受け易いものである為、 薬物の放出制御が非常に不確実なものにならざるを得ないと いう欠点がある。  The above-mentioned other enteric-coated preparations include the above-mentioned other enteric-coated preparations, which release a substance gradually in the process of going from the stomach to the intestinal tract by utilizing the difference in solubility due to pH. However, even when focusing on certain specific parts of the body, pH is susceptible to individual differences, age differences, stomach food volume, circadian fluctuations, mental state fluctuations, etc. The disadvantage is that it must be very uncertain.
本出願人においては、 上記の様な従来技術の欠点に鑑み、 薬物放出速度が一定 (0次放出) に近く、 また p H条件の変 動や薬物崩壊試験時の攪拌強度の変化等による影響を受け難 い製剤を開発すべくかねてより研究を行つ.てきた。 その成果 として、 日本特許公開昭和 61年第 24516号や同 6 2年第 1 0 0 1 2 号等に記載されている様に、 主薬を含有する崩壊性の顆粒お よびワックス類からなる持鐃性製剤を開発し開示している。 この製剤は、 特に主蕖を含有する崩壊性の顆粒表面にヮック ス類を施した後に打錠される錠剤を含むものであり、 体液中 でワックス部分が徐々に溶解し、 錠剤表面部の顆粒が体液に 接触して順次薬物を放出していく ものであるが、 顆粒に配合 される崩壊剤の量とヮックスの量を調節することによづて徐 放の程度を制御し得るという利点を有している。 この様な錠 剤を提供することによって、 薬物の徐放制御が一層高精度に 行なわれるに至ったが、 一方では、 徐放制御によって薬物の 一部が遅れて放出されたとしても、 当該放出部位が小腸下部 の様に吸収効率の低い消化管部位であったりすると、 薬物の 吸収が不十分になつて、 せっかぐの徐放化効果を十分に享受 し得なくなるという問題が出てくる。 薬物が難溶性医薬であ る場合にはこの問題が一層顕著なものとなってく る。 In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, the applicant has found that the drug release rate is close to constant (zero-order release), and is affected by fluctuations in pH conditions and changes in stirring intensity during drug disintegration tests. We have been conducting research to develop formulations that are less susceptible to inhalation. As a result, as described in Japanese Patent Disclosure No. 24516/1986 and No. 10012 in 62/1986, etc., a monocycline consisting of disintegrating granules and wax containing the active ingredient is used. Develop and disclose a soluble formulation. This preparation contains a tablet which is tableted after applying a box to the surface of a disintegrating granule containing the principal component. The wax part gradually dissolves, and the granules on the surface of the tablet come into contact with body fluids and release the drug in sequence.However, by controlling the amount of disintegrant and the amount of wax mixed into the granules This has the advantage that the degree of sustained release can be controlled. By providing such a tablet, the controlled release of the drug has been controlled with higher precision.On the other hand, even if a part of the drug is released with a delay due to the controlled release, the release of the drug is controlled. If the site is in the gastrointestinal tract with low absorption efficiency, such as the lower small intestine, the problem arises that the absorption of the drug becomes insufficient and the effect of sustained release cannot be fully enjoyed. This problem is even more pronounced when the drug is a poorly soluble drug.
本発明はこの様な事情に着目してなされたものであって、 主薬の放出に時間差を与えることによって薬物の徐放制御を 行うと共に、 遅れて放出されてくる薬物が小腸下部の様な吸 収効率の低い部分に放出されたとしても、 当該部位において 十分吸収されて生体内濃度を治療上もしくは予防上必要な濃 度に形成維持することができる様な錠剤の提供を目的とする ものである。  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances. The present invention controls the sustained release of a drug by giving a time difference to the release of the active ingredient, and suppresses the release of a delayed drug from the absorption in the lower small intestine. The purpose is to provide tablets that can be sufficiently absorbed at the site even if released to a part with low yield rate, and can maintain and maintain the concentration in the body at the concentration required for treatment or prevention. is there.

本発明錠剤の構成は前記の様に 2層または 2層以上とする ことが可能な多層锭であるが、 もっとも代表的なものは 2層 タイプである。 従って以下の説明においては 2層タイプの場 合を中心に、 即ち内層と外層からなる場合について説明する が、 外層の更に外側へ着色層、 糖衣層、 或は保護層を設けた り、 或は同じく外層の更に外側へ主薬を含み且つ優れた速溶 性を有する速効層を設けたり、 或は外層と内層の間に速溶部 と徐放部の中間程度の溶解 ·放出性を有する主薬含有中間層 を設けること等が排除される訳ではない。 従って本明細書で 用いる 「内層 J および 「外層」 の用語は、'前記した速溶部と 徐放部の位置関係のみに基づいて用いられるものであり、 絶 対的意味を有する訳ではない。 尚本発明錠剤の各層に含有さ れる主薬は全てが同一化合物である場合の他、 同一薬物を持 つ他の化合物である場合、 並びに類似薬効を持つ他の化合物 である場合を包含 るが、 以下同一薬効同一化合物である場 合を代表的に取り上げて説明する。  The composition of the tablet of the present invention is a multi-layered type which can be composed of two layers or two or more layers as described above, but the most typical one is a two-layer type. Therefore, in the following description, the case of the two-layer type will be mainly described, that is, the case of an inner layer and an outer layer will be described. However, a coloring layer, a sugar coating layer, or a protective layer is provided further outside the outer layer, or Similarly, a fast-acting layer containing the active substance and having excellent fast solubility is provided further outside the outer layer, or an intermediate layer containing the active substance having a dissolution / release property at an intermediate level between the fast-dissolving portion and the sustained-release portion between the outer layer and the inner layer. Is not necessarily excluded. Therefore, the terms “inner layer J” and “outer layer” used in the present specification are used solely based on the positional relationship between the quick-dissolution portion and the sustained-release portion described above, and do not have an absolute meaning. The main drug contained in each layer of the tablet of the present invention includes not only a case where all the compounds are the same compound, a case where the compound is another compound having the same drug, and a case where the compound is another compound having similar drug effect. Hereinafter, the case where the compounds have the same efficacy and the same compounds will be described as representative examples.
尚上記説明における同一化合物とは、 該化合物が酸又は塩 基であるときに、 種々の塩基又は酸と塩を形成している場合 を包含するものとし、 塩形成の為の塩基や酸が異なっていて も同一化合物と考えるべきである。 The same compound in the above description includes the case where the compound is an acid or a base and forms a salt with various bases or acids, and the base or acid for forming the salt is different. Have been Should be considered the same compound.
従って本発明锭剤の基本的構成は、 主薬含有速溶部を錠剤 中心側に配し、 主薬含有徐放部を錠剤外周側に配した点に存 在し、 本発明錠剤が経口的に消化管内に投与された後は、 ま ず外周側の主薬含有徐放部が体液によって徐々に崩壌しつつ 消化管内を順次下降し、 相当の時間が経過した後に主薬含有 速溶部の一部が体液と接触しはじめ、 当該接触部から速溶部 の崩壊が速やかに開始される。 ここで服用後の時間経過を服 用初期、 中期、 後期に分けて説明することとすると、 服用初 期から中期にかけては徐放部から徐々に崩壊放出されてくる 主薬が、 消化管通過経路に沿いつつ徐々に吸収されて持鐃的 な体液濃度を維持する方向に作用することが期待され、 更に 後期に至って例えば小腸の中部乃至下部に到達した錠剤中の 速溶部から崩壊放出されてくる主薬は、 当該消化管部位から 速やかに吸収され、 体液濃度を引続き高レベルに維持する方 向に作用することが期待される。  Therefore, the basic composition of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention lies in that the quick-dissolve portion containing the active substance is arranged on the center side of the tablet and the sustained-release section containing the active substance is arranged on the outer peripheral side of the tablet. After the drug is first administered, the drug-containing sustained-release part on the outer periphery first descends sequentially in the gastrointestinal tract while gradually disintegrating due to the body fluid, and after a considerable period of time, a part of the drug-containing fast-dissolving part becomes part of the body fluid. When contact begins, the collapse of the rapid melting zone starts immediately from the contact area. Here, the time lapse after taking the drug is divided into the initial, middle, and late stages of taking the drug.From the beginning to the middle of the dose, the main drug gradually released from the sustained-release part gradually disintegrates into the gastrointestinal tract. It is expected that it is gradually absorbed along the body and acts in a direction that maintains a humorous body fluid concentration.In the latter period, for example, the principal drug that is disintegrated and released from the fast-dissolving part of the tablet that has reached the middle or lower part of the small intestine, for example Is expected to be rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and to continue to maintain the body fluid concentration at a high level.
本発明錠剤の内層側構成体である主薬含有速溶部は、 体液 と接したときに主薬を速やかに体液中へ放出することが期待 される部分であって、 主薬を速溶させるための製剤学的構成 については、 従来から採用されている技術を利用することが できる。 例えば主薬を崩壊剤、 賦形剤、 並びに当分野で一般 に用いられている各種添加剤等と混合練和して顆粒とし、 次 いでこれを内層錠とするために打錠する方法等が例示される。 ここで上記崩壊剤としては、 例えば各種デンプン類 (例えば トウモロコシデンプン、 ノ《レイショデンプン、 コメデンプン、 新たな用紙 な一デンプン、 カルボキシメチルデンプン等) 、 ゴム類 (例 えばアラビアゴム等) 、 セルロース誘導体 (例えばカルボキ シメチルセルロースカルシウム、 カルボキシメチルセルロー スナト リウム、 低置換度ヒ ドロキシプロピルセルロース、 架 橋カルボキシメチルセルロースナトリゥム等) 、 各種イオン 交換樹脂 (例えば力リゥムポリメタクリラート等) 等が例示 される。 また賦形剤としては、 例えば乳糖、 白糖、 マンニッ ト等が例示される。 例示された様な崩壌剤や賦形剤は主薬の - 性質や目的とする持鐃時間等を考慮して適宜選択され、 必要 に応じて 2種以上を併用することも許容される。 The main drug-containing quick-dissolving portion, which is an inner layer component of the tablet of the present invention, is a portion expected to rapidly release the main drug into the body fluid when it comes into contact with the body fluid, and is a pharmaceutical preparation for rapidly dissolving the main drug. For the configuration, it is possible to use a technology that has been conventionally employed. For example, a method of mixing and kneading the active ingredient with a disintegrant, excipients, and various additives generally used in the art to form granules, and then compressing the granules into an inner layer tablet is exemplified. Is done. Here, examples of the disintegrant include various starches (eg, corn starch, corn starch, rice starch, new paper). Starch, carboxymethyl starch, etc.), rubbers (eg, gum arabic), cellulose derivatives (eg, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, low-substituted hydroxypropylcellulose, bridge carboxymethylcellulose sodium) And various ion-exchange resins (for example, polyamide and polymethacrylate). Examples of the excipient include lactose, sucrose, mannite and the like. The disintegrants and excipients as exemplified above are appropriately selected in consideration of the properties of the main drug and the intended cycling time, etc., and if necessary, the use of two or more in combination is also permitted.
主蕖が水に対して不溶性もしくは極めて難溶性で消化管か らの吸収が不十分であると考えられる場合は、 上記顆粒の形 成に当たって天然もしくは合成の水溶性高分子物質を併用す ることが推奨される。 これらの水溶性高分子物質の添加につ いては、 主薬、 崩壊剤、 賦形剤等と共にいっせいに、 もしく は任意の順序で順次添加して混合練和し顆粒を形成する様に しても良いが、 必要であれば予め主薬を水溶性高分子物質中 に分散させて乾燥し一旦固体分散体等の易溶性剤形に導き、 その後前記崩壊剤や賦形剤 (必要であれば更に水溶性高分子 物質) 等と混合練和して顆粒を製造することが推奨される場 合もある。 上記した水溶性高分子物質としては、 まず天然の ものとしては例えばセルロース誘導体 (例えばヒ ドロキシプ 口ピゾレメチノレセノレロース、 メチノレセノレロース、 ヒ ドロキシプ 口ピルセルロース、 カルボキシメチルセルロース等) 、 或は 多糖類 (例えばプルラン、 デキス トラン等) 、 合成のあのと しては例えばポリ ビニルピロ リ ドン、 架橋ポリ ビニルピロ リ ドン、 ポリエチレンォキシ ド等を例示することができる。 こ れらば主薬の難溶性の程度に応じて適宜選択され、 必要に応 じて 2種以上を併用することもできる。 If the main ingredient is insoluble or very poorly soluble in water and is considered to be insufficiently absorbed from the digestive tract, use a natural or synthetic water-soluble polymer in combination with the above granules. Is recommended. These water-soluble polymer substances may be added together with the base drug, disintegrant, excipients, or the like, or may be added sequentially in any order and mixed and kneaded to form granules. Good, but if necessary, the active ingredient is dispersed in a water-soluble polymer in advance, dried and then led to an easily soluble dosage form such as a solid dispersion. In some cases, it may be advisable to produce granules by mixing and kneading them with an active polymer substance). As the above-mentioned water-soluble polymer substance, first, as a natural substance, for example, a cellulose derivative (for example, hydroxypizole pizoremethinoresenorelose, methinoresenolerose, hydroxypoxypyrucellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, etc.), or Polysaccharides (eg pullulan, dextran, etc.) Examples thereof include polyvinyl pyrrolidone, cross-linked polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide and the like. In such a case, an appropriate selection is made according to the degree of poor solubility of the active ingredient, and two or more of them can be used in combination as needed.
顆粒製造時に使用きれる崩壌剤量は、 特に限定されないが、 崩壊剤の種類や主薬の性質、 更には目的とする速溶性等を考 慮して適宜定めれば良く、 通常は顆粒成分全量に対して 10〜75 重量%、 好ましくは 40〜60重量%の範囲内から選択する。 また 水溶性高分子化合物の使用量も特に限定されず主薬の水難溶 性の程度、 水溶性高分子物質の種類等を考慮して適宜定めれ ば良く、 通常は顆粒成分全量に対して 2. 5 〜60重量%、 好まし くは 5〜40重量%の範囲内から選択する。  The amount of disintegrant that can be used during the production of the granules is not particularly limited, but may be appropriately determined in consideration of the type of the disintegrant, the properties of the active ingredient, and the intended quick-dissolving property. It is selected from the range of 10 to 75% by weight, preferably 40 to 60% by weight. The amount of the water-soluble polymer compound used is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately determined in consideration of the degree of poor water solubility of the active ingredient, the type of the water-soluble polymer substance, and the like. It is selected from the range of 5 to 60% by weight, preferably 5 to 40% by weight.
こう して形成された速溶性の顆粒は常法に従ってステアリ ン酸マグネシウム、 ステアリ ン酸カルシウム、 タルク、 コー ンスターチ等の滑沢剤を用いて打錠することにより本発明の 速溶性内層部が形成される。  The quick-dissolving granules thus formed are tableted with a lubricant such as magnesium stearate, calcium stearate, talc, corn starch, etc. according to a conventional method to form the fast-dissolving inner layer portion of the present invention. Is done.
次に本発明錠剤の外層側構成体である主薬含有徐放部は、 体液と接したときに主薬を徐々に体液中へ放出す.ることが期 待される部分であって、 主薬を徐放させるための製剤学的構 成については、 従来から採用されている汎用の徐放化技術を 利用することができる。. 例えば前記の様に内層側用として作 製した顆粒をヮックス処理に付してヮックス被覆された外層 側構成体を作成し、 これを前記打錠済の速溶性内層部の外周 を被覆する様にプレスコ一トすれば本発明绽剂^得ることが できる。 ここで用いられるワックスは水に不溶性もしく は難 溶性のものであり、 例えば各種ロウ (例えばカルナゥバロウ 等) 、 各種硬化油 (例えば大豆硬化油、 ヒマシ硬化油等) 、 パラフィン類等が用いられ、 これらは単独で用いてもよく、 或は 2種以上を併用しても良い。 Next, the main drug-containing sustained release portion, which is an outer layer component of the tablet of the present invention, is a portion expected to gradually release the main drug into the body fluid when it comes into contact with the body fluid. As for the pharmaceutical composition for release, general-purpose sustained release technology conventionally used can be used. For example, the granules prepared for the inner layer side as described above are subjected to a boxing process to prepare a box-coated outer layer side structure, which is coated on the outer periphery of the tableted quick-dissolving inner layer portion. The present invention can be obtained by press-coating. The wax used here is insoluble or difficult to dissolve in water For example, various waxes (for example, carnauba wax and the like), various hardened oils (for example, soybean hardened oil, castor hardened oil, and the like), paraffins, and the like may be used. These may be used alone, or may be used alone. The above may be used in combination.
ヮックス処理 0方法は特に限定されないが、 例えば上記ヮック ス.の融液中に前記顆粒を加えて練合し、 乾燥 ·整粒すること によって徐放性顆粒が得られる。 ヮックスの使用量は特に限 定されず、 用いるワックスや主薬の性質および目的とする持 鐃時間等によって適宜定めれば良いが通常は外層側構成体で ある主薬含有徐放部の全重量に対して 10〜70重量%、 好ましく は 20〜60重量%の範囲内から選択する。  Although there is no particular limitation on the method of box treatment, for example, the granules are added to the melt of the box described above, kneaded, dried and sized to obtain sustained-release granules. The amount of the wax used is not particularly limited, and may be determined as appropriate depending on the properties of the wax and the main drug used, the intended cycling time, and the like. From 10 to 70% by weight, preferably from 20 to 60% by weight.
上記説明では、 内層側構成体として作製した顆粒をヮック ス処理に付す,ことによって外層側搆成体を製造すると述べた。 この様な方法で製造された外層側構成体はワックス処理の部 分を除いた顆粒構成が内層側のそれと全く同一になる。 本発 明はこの様な場合も技術的範囲に包含するが、 内層側と外層 側の顆粒構成を夫々の特性に合わせて別処方とすることも当 然に本発明に包含される。 例えば崩壊剤については内層側が 速溶性を要件としていることに鑑み、 外層側顆粒よりも多く 配合することが推奨される場合がある。 但し内層側の崩壊剤 含有量が多くなると、 内層が大きくなり錠剤全体が大きくなつて、 錠剤の服用が困難になることが恐れられる。 そこで錠剤全体 の大きさをある程度以下の大きさにまとめることの必要から、 内層側顆粒を可及的コンパク トに成形することが要求される 場合が生じ、 この様なときは内層側処方における添加剤、 例 えば水溶性高分子物質量を外層側顆粒のそれよりも、 必要且 つ可能な限度で少なくすることができ、 例えば、 外層側にお ける水溶性高分子物質量を 100重量部としたとき内層側におけ る水溶性高分子物質を 15〜40重量%、 好ましくは 25〜35重量% とすることが推奨される。 或は錠剤製造における汎甩添加剤 である乳剤等の賦形剤を内層側処方から減少または削除する 様な工夫を行なうことも有意義である。 In the above description, it was stated that the granules prepared as the inner layer-side structure were subjected to a boxing process to produce an outer layer-side formed body. The outer layer side structure produced by such a method has exactly the same granular structure as that of the inner layer side except for the wax treatment. Although the present invention includes such a case in the technical scope, the present invention naturally includes that the granule composition on the inner layer side and that on the outer layer side are separately formulated in accordance with the respective properties. For example, in view of the requirement that the inner layer side be rapidly soluble in disintegrants, it may be recommended to mix more disintegrant than the outer layer side granules. However, if the content of the disintegrant in the inner layer increases, the inner layer becomes larger and the whole tablet becomes larger, which may make it difficult to take the tablet. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the size of the whole tablet to a certain size or less, which may require the inner layer granules to be compacted as much as possible. Agent, example For example, the amount of the water-soluble polymer can be reduced as necessary and possible as much as that of the granules on the outer layer side. For example, when the amount of the water-soluble polymer on the outer layer side is 100 parts by weight, It is recommended that the water-soluble polymer material on the side be 15-40% by weight, preferably 25-35% by weight. Alternatively, it is also meaningful to take measures to reduce or eliminate excipients such as emulsions, which are general additives in tablet production, from the inner layer formulation.
ヮッグス処理を行なうに当たっては、 ヮックスによる徐放 性を更に微細に制御する目的で、 或はワックスの崩壊性を安 ― 定した速度で進行させる目的で、 他の成分を併用する場合が ある。 そのような第 3成分としては例えばェチルセルロース が例示される。 ェチルセルロースはェチル基の置換度によつ てその化学的性質 (例えば水溶性や粘度) が変化するので.、 添加目的に合わせて最適の置換度のものを選択することが推 奨される。 一般には粘度を指標とし、 7〜 1 ひ cps の範 fflの粘 度を有するものを選択して使用するのが望ましい。 またェチ ルセルロースの配合量ほその粘度や配合目的、 或はヮックス の種類を考慮して定めるが、 通常はワックスの使用量に対し て 0. 75〜2. 5 (重量比) 、 好ましくは 0. 8〜1· 5 (重量比) の範 囲から選択される。 尚ェチルセルロースの使用に当たっては、 後述の実施例に示す様に、 ワックス処理前の主薬含有顆粒 (外 層用固体分散体) とェチルセルロースを十分に混合させた状 態でワックス処理させる方法が推奨されるが、 上記以外に、 ェチルセルロースとヮックスを十分に混合融解させた状態で 主薬含有顆粒に被覆させたり、 使用予定量のワックス及びェ チルセルロースを夫々二分して前記の各方法を組合わせて行 う方法などが自由に採用される。 こう して形成された外層部 顆粒を用いて前記内層部錠の外周にプレスコ一卜すれば本発 明の持鐃性製剤が得られる。 In performing the Peggs treatment, other components may be used in combination for the purpose of further finely controlling the sustained release property of the wax or for promoting the disintegration of the wax at a stable rate. An example of such a third component is ethyl cellulose. Since the chemical properties (eg, water solubility and viscosity) of ethyl cellulose change depending on the degree of substitution of the ethyl group, it is recommended to select the one with the optimal degree of substitution according to the purpose of addition. . In general, it is desirable to select a material having a viscosity of ffl in the range of 7 to 1 cps using viscosity as an index. The amount of the ethylcellulose is determined in consideration of the viscosity and the purpose of the mixing, or the type of the wax. Usually, the amount is 0.75 to 2.5 (weight ratio), preferably the amount of the wax used. It is selected from the range of 0.8 to 1.5 (weight ratio). In addition, when using ethyl cellulose, as shown in the Examples described later, a method in which wax treatment is performed in a state where granules containing the active substance (solid dispersion for outer layer) before wax processing and ethyl cellulose are sufficiently mixed. In addition to the above, in addition to the above, ethyl cellulose and PEX are sufficiently mixed and melted to coat the active ingredient-containing granules, or the expected amount of wax and A method in which chill cellulose is divided into two and each of the above methods is combined is freely employed. When the outer layer granules thus formed are press-coated on the outer periphery of the inner layer tablet, the lyophilic preparation of the present invention can be obtained.
