Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel formulations of the compound racecadotril, and their use in the treatment of diarrhoea.
  • Racecadotril is the compound of structure (I) in the form of a racemate:
  • Racecadotril has recently been launched onto the market in a number of countries under the tradename HIDRASEC (trademark of S ⁇ iithkline Beecham pic).
  • the marketed form is in the form of a dry powder filled into a hard gelatin capsule.
  • certain disadvantages are associated with the formulations as noted below.
  • Racecadotril is a hydrophobic, or water-hating, compound and as such has proved difficult to formulate into stable and acceptable dosage formulations.
  • granules of suitable hardness generally have improved flow characteristics that are important for efficient capsule filling.
  • racecadotril can be formulated into granules using a starch disintegrant having particular characteristics, to provide granules of suitable hardness so as to provide free flowing stable granules for filling into hard gelatin capsules.
  • the granules of the present invention can be used to provide dry powder formulations for direct ingestion, and dry powder formulations for reconstitution into a suspension formulation.
  • suspension formulations is a valuable and convenient dosage form for dosing to paediatric patients, and one which has not been achievable before due to the inherent hydrophobic nature of the active ingredient racecadotril.
  • the present invention therefore provides in a first aspect, a pharmaceutical granulate formulation comprising racecadotril, in association with, at least one diluent, at least one lubricant, and a starch based intragranular disintegrant having the following characteristics:
  • the intragranular disintegrant is a gelatinised maize starch having the above noted characteristics.
  • the intragranular disintegrant is a gelatinised maize starch having:
  • the intragranular disintegrant is selected from C*pharm 93000 gelatinised maize starch, Lycatab 15c gelatinised maize starch, or Starch 1500 gelatinised maize starch
  • the intragranular disintegrant is C*pharm 93000 gelatinised maize starch.
  • C*pharm 93000 is a trademark of gelatinised maize starch (Direct compressible starch) and available form CERESTAR at CERESTAR France SA , 14 Bd General Leclerc- 92572 Neuilly-sur-Seine, Lycatab 15c is a trademark of gelatinised maize starch, and is available from Roquette Company at ROQUETTE FRERES 62136 LESTREM, France, Starch 1500 is a trademark of gelatinised maize starch and is available from COLORCON at Colorcon France - 62-70 rue Yvan Tourguenieff 78 380 BOUGIVAL FRANCE)
  • Suitable diluents will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and include for example, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, sorbitol, lactose, calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.
  • the diluent is lactose.
  • Suitable lubricants will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and include for example, long chain fatty acids such as stearic acid or salts thereof, in particular group II metal salts such as magnesium or calcium, or amorphous silicon such as Aerosil R 972 or Aerosil 200, sodium benzoate or sodium laurylsulphate. Either a single lubricant can be used, or a combination of diluents to achieve the desired flow characteristics for the granulates. Preferred in the present invention is magnesium stearate in combination with aerosil R 972.
  • the ratio, of diluent, lubricants and disintegrant will depend on the hardness and flow characteristics to be achieved.
  • preferred combinations of the components, and their respective proportions in the granulates are as follows.
  • the present invention comprises a process for the manufacture of a pharmaceutical granulate, as hereinbefore disclosed, which process comprises mixing the ingredients of the granulate together in powder form under dry conditions, and then compacting the mixture into granulates by conventional dry powder compaction techniques, for example by pressing, rolling, slugging extrusion etc, under a suitable pressure for the compaction process, for example, 30-200 KN, e.g., 35-65 KN, preferably 45-50 KN.
  • the presently claimed granulate is particularly suited to manufacture via slugging, in particular it has been found that a single slugging step is generally sufficient to provide granulates of the required hardness. It is generally necessary to mill and sieve the compacted mixture after compaction so as to achieve a suitable size fraction of granulate. In particular, particles of particle size of from 1 to 2 mm are preferred, most preferred the particles are milled and sieved to a fraction size of around 1.25mm
  • the granulates described herein can be filled into hard gelatin capsules suitable for oral administration.
  • capsules can be prepared so as to contain i to 125 mg of active ingredient, preferably from 80 to 125 mg, most preferably 100 mg per capsule size n°2.
  • larger amounts of active can be included if the capsule size is increased as for example capsule size n°l, 0, or 0+ etc.
  • the granulates of the present invention are suitable for use in the preparation of other pharmaceutical formulations, for example, they may be provided as free flowing granulated formulations for use in dry powder sachets containing a single dose of racecadotril.
  • Such dosage forms may be suitable for dosing direct to patients without reconstitution with water.
  • a single sachet will provide a dose of from 1 to 100 mg of racecadotril, preferably 6 to 30mg of racecadotril and preferably 6, 10, 18 and 30 mg of racecadotril.
  • the dry powder form may be provided as a form suitable for reconstitution with water to provide suspension formulations of racecadotril.
  • the dry granulate would be provided in a bottle providing sufficient compound for a course of treatment on reconstitution. Such a course would preferably be over several days, so that once the suspension has been made up, a full course is available. It is to be noted that, the provision of a dry powder form, and a suspension formulation forms a further aspect of the invention.
  • formulations of racecadotril, in particular as suspension formulations had not been known due to the hydrophobic nature of the compound making the provision of suspensions a difficult technical hurdle to overcome.
  • Suitable sweetening agents include for example, aspartame, K acesulphame, saccharine, ammonium glycyrrizinate, sodium cyclamate and sucrose.
  • Suitable thickening agents include for example Xantham gum, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, Guar Gum , carbopol 974 P, hydroxymethylpropylcellulose and silica gel. Suitable combinations of sweetening and thickening agents will of course be within the scope of the skilled formulator and depend on the precise nature of the final formulation desired.
  • coloring agents may added to improve the compliance of the patients
  • Diluents may be added to improve the suitability for filling into bottles.
  • Suitable diluents include, for example, silica gel, sorbitol, lactose and mannitol.
  • preservatives include for example sodium benzoate, parabens (such as propylparahydroxybenzoate and methylparahydroxybenzoate) and potassium sorbate.
  • a spray drying step can also be included.
