Description

明 細 書 マルチプルュニット型徐放性錠剤 技術分野  Description Multiunit type sustained release tablet Technical field
本発明はマルチプルユニッ ト型徐放性錠剤の改良に関する。 より詳細には、 薬 剤の速放性部分と徐放性部分からなるマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤において. 速放性部分からの成分の溶出速度を向上させたマルチプルュニット型徐放性錠剤 に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to an improvement of a multiple unit type sustained release tablet. More specifically, in a multi-unit type sustained-release tablet comprising an immediate-release portion and a sustained-release portion of a drug. A multi-unit-type sustained-release tablet with an improved dissolution rate of components from the immediate-release portion. About. Background art
徐放性製剤は、 薬剤の放出速度を制御することにより投与回数を減らし、 患者 の服薬という負担を軽減させることを目的とした剤形である。 徐放性製剤の主要 な形態として、錠剤全体に徐放性膜を被覆したシングルユニット型徐放性錠剤と、 徐放性膜を被覆した多数の薬剤頼粒からなるマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤と が知られている。 薬物の吸収について個体内及び個体間におけるバラツキを小さ くするためにはマルチプルュニッ ト型の製剤が優れていることが知られている。 またマルチプルュ-ッ ト型の製剤では徐放性部分とともに薬剤を速やかに放出 し得る部分 (速放性部分) を配合し得るので、 薬物の有効血中濃度を迅速に得、 かつ持続することができる。 例えば、 鎮痛成分を速やかに放出しかつ徐放するこ とにより、 何らかの原因により痛みを持つ患者において痛みを速やかに抑制する とともに長時間にわたって痛みを抑制することができる。  Sustained-release preparations are dosage forms whose purpose is to reduce the number of doses by controlling the release rate of the drug and to reduce the burden of taking patients. The main forms of sustained-release preparations are single-unit type sustained-release tablets with a whole tablet coated with a sustained-release membrane, and multi-unit type sustained-release tablets consisting of a large number of drug-dependent particles coated with a sustained-release membrane. And are known. It is known that a multi-unit type preparation is excellent in reducing the dispersion of a drug within and between individuals. In addition, in a multi-rupture type preparation, a portion capable of rapidly releasing a drug (immediate release portion) can be added together with a sustained release portion, so that an effective blood concentration of the drug can be obtained and maintained quickly. it can. For example, by rapidly and slowly releasing an analgesic component, pain can be rapidly suppressed in a patient having pain due to any cause, and the pain can be suppressed for a long time.
マルチプルュ-ッ ト型徐放性製剤に薬剤を速やかに放出する成分を配合する場 合、 上記のような薬剤の素顆粒に徐放性膜を被覆した徐放性顆粒と、 薬剤を速や かに放出する速放性顆粒とを配合することが一般的である。 これらの徐放性顆粒 と速放性顆粒とは良好な混合を得るためにできるだけ近い粒子寸法を有している ことが必要である。 徐放性顆粒は上記のように薬剤素顆粒に徐放性膜を被覆して 製造するので比較的粒子径が大きくならざるを得ず、 速放性顆粒もそれに合わせ て比較的大きな粒子を使用する必要がある。 また、 徐放性顆粒は比較的粒子径が 揃っており、 徐放性を保持させるため硬い顆粒として設計されるので圧縮成形性 に劣ることから、 徐放性顆粒と速放性顆粒とを打錠して成形する場合、 成形性に 優れた速放性顆粒を使用する必要がある。 When a component that rapidly releases a drug is compounded in a multi-cut type sustained-release preparation, the drug can be quickly released, as described above. It is common to mix the granules with immediate-release granules. It is necessary that these sustained-release granules and immediate-release granules have a particle size as close as possible in order to obtain good mixing. Sustained-release granules consist of drug substance granules coated with a sustained-release membrane as described above. Since it is manufactured, the particle size must be relatively large, and the immediate-release granules also need to use relatively large particles. Also, the sustained-release granules have a relatively uniform particle size, and are designed as hard granules to maintain the sustained-release properties. When molding into tablets, it is necessary to use quick-release granules with excellent moldability.
一般的に流動層造粒法により調製した顆粒は他の造粒法により調製した顆粒と 比較して圧縮成形性は優れているが、 その顆粒を圧縮して錠剤にすると得られる 錠剤の崩壊時間が長くなることが多く、 速放性部分を配合した意義が損なわれて しまう。 しかし、 錠剤の崩壊性を高くするために速放性顆粒に崩壊剤を多量に添 加すると造粒物 (顆粒) の粒子径を大きくすることが困難になり、 比較的粒子径 が大きい徐放性顆粒と同程度の粒子径の速放性顆粒を得にく くなる。 この場合、 結合剤を増量すると造粒物 (顆粒) の粒子径は大きくすることができるが、 再び 錠剤の崩壊性が悪くなる。  Generally, granules prepared by the fluidized bed granulation method have better compression moldability than granules prepared by other granulation methods, but the tablet disintegration time obtained by compressing the granules into tablets Is often long, which impairs the significance of blending the immediate release portion. However, if a large amount of a disintegrant is added to the immediate-release granules to enhance the disintegration properties of the tablet, it becomes difficult to increase the particle size of the granulated product (granules), and thus the sustained release with a relatively large particle size It is difficult to obtain immediate-release granules having a particle size comparable to that of the granules. In this case, when the amount of the binder is increased, the particle size of the granulated product (granules) can be increased, but the disintegration of the tablet again deteriorates.
このように従来の方法では、 徐放性顆粒と速放性顆粒とを配合したマルチプル ュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤において、 速放性顆粒の結合剤と崩壊剤の配合を調整する ことのみによっては、 徐放性顆粒及び速放性顆粒の粒子径を同程度のものとし、 十分に成形が可能で、 かつ崩壊性に優れた錠剤とするという 目的を同時に達成す ることは困難であった。 発明の開示  As described above, in the conventional method, in a multiple-unit type sustained-release tablet in which sustained-release granules and immediate-release granules are blended, only by adjusting the blending of the binder and disintegrant of the rapid-release granules.

A manufacturing method is provided. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
以下、 本発明を詳細に説明する。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
本発明のマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤は、 薬物を持続的に放出する打錠用 顆粒 (徐放性顆粒) と薬物を速やかに放出する打錠用顆粒 (速放性顆粒) からな り、 速放性顆粒が崩壊剤及び結合剤を含み、 速放性顆粒の製造において結合剤が 粉末の状態で混合されることを特徴とする。  The multiple-unit type sustained release tablet of the present invention comprises tableting granules (sustained release granules) that continuously release the drug and tableting granules (quick release granules) that release the drug quickly. The quick release granules include a disintegrant and a binder, and the binder is mixed in a powder state in the production of the quick release granules.
すなわち本発明のマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤は、 その製造において速放 性顆粒を流動層造粒法等により製造する際に、 結合剤を通常の流動層造粒法のよ うに溶液状態で添加するのではなく、 粉末として添加することを特徴とし、 それ 以外は従来の徐放性顆粒と速放性顆粒とからなるマルチプルュ-ッ ト型徐放性錠 剤と同様に製造することができる。 すなわち、 薬物等の活性成分、 崩壊剤、 その 他の添加剤に結合剤を粉末で添加し、 混合した混合粉末を調製する。 そしてその 混合粉末に水分を噴霧することにより流動層造粒法により速放性顆粒を得、 その 速放性顆粒と別途調製した徐放性顆粒及び必要に応じて滑沢剤や崩壊剤等の添加 剤を混合し、 その顆粒混合物を圧縮することにより、 本発明のマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤を製造することができる。 上記のようにして製造することにより、 速放性顆粒は徐放性顆粒と同程度の比 較的大きな粒子寸法に製造することができ、 しかも良好な崩壊性と圧縮成形性を 維持した速放性顆粒とすることができる。 従って、 製造されるマルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤においては、徐放性顆粒と速放性顆粒とが十分に混合されており、 マルチプルュニッ ト型徐放性錠剤自体は適切な硬度を保有し、 かつ崩壊時間の非 常に短い錠剤となる。 すなわち、 従来のマルチプルユニッ ト型徐放性錠剤におい て、 崩壊剤と結合剤の配合量を調節することのみによっては達成することができ なかった、 速放性顆粒の十分な粒子寸法、 崩壊性及び圧縮成形性を同時に実現し 得るものである。 That is, in the multiple-unit type sustained-release tablet of the present invention, a binder is added in a solution state as in a usual fluidized-bed granulation method when the immediate-release granules are produced by a fluidized-bed granulation method or the like. Instead, it is characterized by being added as a powder. Otherwise, it can be produced in the same manner as a conventional multi-release sustained-release tablet comprising sustained-release granules and immediate-release granules. That is, a binder is added as a powder to an active ingredient such as a drug, a disintegrant, and other additives to prepare a mixed powder. Then, water is sprayed on the mixed powder to obtain immediate-release granules by a fluidized-bed granulation method. The immediate-release granules and separately prepared sustained-release granules and, if necessary, a lubricant, a disintegrant, etc. The multiple-unit sustained release tablet of the present invention can be produced by mixing the additives and compressing the granule mixture. By producing as described above, the immediate release granules can be produced to a relatively large particle size comparable to that of the sustained release granules, and the rapid release granules maintain good disintegration and compression moldability. Granules. Therefore, in the manufactured multi-unit type sustained-release tablets, the sustained-release granules and the quick-release granules are sufficiently mixed, and the multi-unit-type sustained-release tablets themselves have appropriate hardness, and Tablets with very short disintegration time. That is, in the conventional multiple unit type sustained release tablet, sufficient particle size and disintegration of the immediate release granules, which could not be achieved only by adjusting the blending amount of the disintegrant and the binder, could not be achieved. And compression moldability can be realized at the same time.
本発明はいかなる理論にも拘束されるものではないが、 上記のような本発明の 効果は、 主として、 上記のような特徴を有する流動層造粒法等の造粒法により調 製した速放性顆粒における結合剤の分布が従来法により製造した顆粒におけるも のとは異なることによると考えられる。 すなわち、 従来の流動層造粒法のように 結合剤を溶剤に溶解して溶液として用いた場合、 結合剤は崩壊剤、 活性成分等の 粒子の内部と表面全体とに均一に分布され、 それにより崩壊剤、 活性成分等の粒 子が接着され顆粒が成長する。 このような状態で比較的大きな顆粒を得るために は結合剤の量が相対的に多くなり、 また顆粒の表面に結合剤が多く存在して顆粒 の溶解や崩壊が阻害され、 結果として崩壊性に欠ける顆粒となってしまう。 これ に対し本発明によれば、粉末状で添加された結合剤は、粉末の粒子として崩壊剤、 活性成分等の粒子の表面に分布し、 崩壊剤、 活性成分等の粒子が接着され顆粒が 成長する。 これにより結合剤は顆粒の内部に多く存在し、 顆粒の表面に存在する 結合剤は少なくなり、 場合により顆粒がそれ以上成長しない程度まで顆粒の表面 に存在する結合剤は少なくなり得る。 このように結合剤を溶液として用いて得ら れる顆粒よりも顆粒表面上に存在する結合剤が少ない顆粒とすることにより、 顆 粒の溶解や崩壊が阻害されることがなく、 崩壊性に優れ、 圧縮成形性にも優れた 顆粒が得られる。  Although the present invention is not limited by any theory, the effects of the present invention as described above are mainly due to the rapid release prepared by a granulation method such as a fluidized bed granulation method having the above characteristics. It is considered that the distribution of the binder in the sexual granules is different from that in the granules produced by the conventional method. That is, when a binder is dissolved in a solvent and used as a solution as in the conventional fluidized bed granulation method, the binder is uniformly distributed inside the particles such as disintegrants and active ingredients and on the entire surface. As a result, particles such as disintegrants and active ingredients adhere to each other to grow granules. In order to obtain relatively large granules in such a state, the amount of the binder becomes relatively large, and a large amount of the binder is present on the surface of the granules, so that dissolution and disintegration of the granules are inhibited, resulting in disintegration. It becomes granules lacking. In contrast, according to the present invention, the binder added in the form of powder is distributed as powder particles on the surface of the particles of the disintegrant, active ingredient, etc., and the particles of the disintegrant, active ingredient, etc. are adhered to form granules. grow up. This allows the binder to be more abundant inside the granules, less binder present on the surface of the granules, and possibly less binder present on the surfaces of the granules to such an extent that the granules do not grow any further. By making the granules having less binder present on the surface of the granules than the granules obtained by using the binder as a solution, dissolution and disintegration of the condyles are not hindered and the disintegration is excellent. Granules with excellent compression moldability can be obtained.
本発明において、 結合剤を粉末の状態で添加するとは、 結合剤を溶剤等に溶解 することなく原粉末のまま添加することを意味し、 粉末であれば特に限定されな いが、 通常は平均粒子径として好ましくは 1 0 0 // m以下、 より好ましくは 7 5 μ m以下の粒子径を有する粉末を使用する。 このよ うな粒子径を有する結合剤を 使用することにより、 崩壊性に優れ、 かつ比較的大きい粒子径の速放性顆粒を製 造することができる。 In the present invention, adding a binder in a powder state means dissolving the binder in a solvent or the like. Means that the powder is added as it is without any modification, and is not particularly limited as long as it is a powder, but is usually preferably 100 // // m or less, more preferably 75 μm or less as an average particle diameter. A powder having a particle size is used. By using a binder having such a particle size, quick-release granules having excellent disintegration properties and a relatively large particle size can be produced.
