Definitions
- the invention relates to dosage forms containing pharmaceutically active agents and having superior in vitro and in vivo characteristics when compared to conventional products.
- the tablets contain thermoformed particulates containing active agents along with a variety of pharmaceutical additives, including optional coatings.
- lovastatin For several types of pharmaceutical products, e.g., anticholesterolemics such as lovastatin, the attainment of a high C MAX (highest plasma concentration at any point in time) and large A.U.C. (total amount of drug absorbed as measured by the area under the curve of a plot of plasma concentration vs. time) is desirable.
- C MAX highest plasma concentration at any point in time
- A.U.C. total amount of drug absorbed as measured by the area under the curve of a plot of plasma concentration vs. time
- the invention deals with dosage forms which use binary particulates, preferably microspheres, containing only active agent(s) and solubilizing agent(s).
- the particulates are dry, solid dispersions made by subjecting the active and solubilizing ingredients to liquiflash conditions to directly produce microspheres or non-spherical particulates. When they contain certain amounts of solubilizing agents, the particulates are used in products that give higher C MAX and A.U.C. values when ingested than products that do not contain the same types and amounts of solubilizers.

- Oral dosage forms are typical.
- the particulates of the invention are readily flowable, so that processing and delivery to the consumer are facilitated, regardless of the type of product in which they are used.

Suitable polymers are sold under "Lutrol”, “Monolan” and “Pluronic” trade names (BASF). Poloxamer 188 (“Pluronic F68”) is very effective. It contains 80 polyoxyethylene units and 27 polyoxypropylene units, with an average molecular weight of about 7680 to 9510. See Handbook of Pharmaceutical Excipients, 2nd edition, (1994) pages 352-354, which disclosure is hereby incorporated by reference.

- Thermoforming techniques useful in making the particulates of the invention include liquifiash and extrusion processing. Liquifiash Processing
- Liquifiash processing involves providing the ingredients at a particle size of less than 1 ⁇ M. Milling/grinding may be necessary preliminary steps. The particles are then blended and used as a feedstock for a suitable device wherein heat and pressure conditions are controlled to effect morphological changes in the feedstock.
- the feedstock particles lose their resistance to liquid flow and go into a "liquiform" state.
- particles of the material, or a substantial portion thereof are physically transformed from their original solid state, through a liquid state, and back to a solid state instantaneously. While the particles undergo this transformation, they are acted upon by centrifugal force, or another shearing force, which force separates them into discrete spherical particles, i.e., microspheres. This is termed "spheronization” .
- the transformed particles exit the device as discrete microspheres of about 10 microns to about 600 microns, and generally about 50 to about 300 microns particle diameter.
- Extrusion techniques to be used in the invention include those in which the temperatures range from those at or below which a drug/solubilizer eutectics form to those at or below which the active ingredient(s) melt or readily dissolve in the solubilizer(s).
- One exemplary technique employs ibuprofen/Pluronic F68 combinations and temperatures of about 35°C to about 45°C.
- Extruders, flash flow spinning heads, and the like are useful devices.
- the particulates may be ground or reduced in size by other means. Dosage Forms
- the particulates can be used as is, e.g., in powders, sachets and the like, or as ingredients in other dosage forms, such as caplets, capsules, and tablets.
- dosage forms can contain the microspheres or other particulates described herein and one or more conventional pharmaceutical additives.
- the microspheres are optionally coated with suitable amounts of one or more pharmaceutical coatings.
- Conventional coatings include taste-masking coatings, enteric coatings and the like. The coatings may not significantly alter the dissolution and release properties of the product.
- Cellulosic coatings, in sutiable amounts, are contemplated.
- Suitable amounts and types of excipients, e.g., fillers, flavors, flow control agents, lubricants, perfumes, can be blended with the microspheres before or during preparation of a final dosage form.
- the solid diluent is generally a bulking agent. It is typically present a weight concentration which is 1/2 to 2/3 of the concentration of microspheres.
- Useful solid diluents are microcrystalline cellulose products having mean particle sizes of about 20 microns to about 180 microns.
- the Avicel products, especially Avicel PH101 (FMC) are effective.
- Disintegrants may assist in the release of the active agent after ingestion of the dosage form.
- Useful disinte-grants include croscarmellose sodium, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium starch glycolate and mixtures thereof.
- PVP polyvinylpyrrolidone
- Act-Di- Sol a croscarmellose sodium product made by FMC, is very useful, as is Kollidon CL-M, a crospovidone (BASF).
- glidants such as starch, talc, lactose, stearates and colloidal silica can be used.
- "Cab-o-sil M5" a brand of colloidal silica made by Cabot, is very useful.
- Lubricants are used in the tablet compositions, among them stearic acid and its esters, adipic acid, fatty acid esters, talc, magnesium stearate, mineral oil and the like and mixtures thereof. Magnesium stearate is highly effective.
- microspheres are mixed with the other tablet composition ingredients using conventional equipment.
- Tablets were made on a rotary tablet press, such as a Stokes or Kilian rotary tablet press. Examples
- Lovastatin powder and milled Polaxamer 188 in a ratio of 5:95 were placed in a Stephan mixer in the following order: (1) one-half of the solubilizing agent, (2) all of the lovastatin, (3) the remaining portion of the solubilizing agent.
- the ingredients were mixed for about five minutes and used as a feedstock, as follows:
- the feedstock was fed to the 5 -inch spinning head disclosed in U. S. Application Serial No. 08/874,215, filed June 13, 1997.
- the head speed was increased to 60Hz while the heating elements were raised to a temperature which produced liquifiash conditions (about 60°C to 90°C).
- the spinning head forced the material through the screen and the product was permitted to free fall a distance of from six to eight feet below the head.
- the product consists of binary microspheres containing lovastatin and a solubilizer and having a highly consistent particle size, with diameters of about 100 microns to about 400 microns.
- microspheres containing 20:80 and 40:60 lovastatin: solubilizing agent were prepared.
- Poloxamer 188 was used.
- microspheres of the invention dissolved faster than the commercial formulation. Eighty-eight percent (88%), 98%, and 100% of the lovastatin in the microspheres dissolved in 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 20 minutes, respectively, compared to 30%, 66% , and 86% dissolution for the commercial product at the same time points.
- gelatin capsules containing microspheres made using the invention gave superior plasma profiles to those obtained using the commercial lovastatin tablet.
- the study protocol was designed to determine mevinolinic acid concentrations in blood samples taken at various points in time. Mevinolinic acid is a metabolite associated with lovastatin use.
- Study Design Single center, randomized, open label, 3-way crossover design - '. treatments, 3 periods lasting approximately 3 days each; minimum 7-day washout.
- Serum mevinolinic acid C max , T max and AUC 0 Serum mevinolinic acid C max , T max and AUC 0 .
- Blood Samples Pre-dose and 0.5, 1, 1,5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours after dosing.
