  • the present invention relates to a composition for solid pharmaceutical preparations consisting of a cyanopyrrolidine derivative, to a solid pharmaceutical preparation containing the composition, and to a process for producing the solid pharmaceutical preparation.
  • DPPIV Dipeptidylpeptidase IV
  • hydrolysis dipeptides from peptides chain - with proline or alanine at the second position from N-terminal .
  • DPPIV is widely distributed in tissues , blood plasma and organs such as kidneys and liver, and is involved in the metabolism of a wide spectrum of physiologically active peptides .
  • GLP-I glucagon-like peptide 1
  • Known physiological functions of GLP-I include stimulation of insulin secretion from pancreas, extension of gastric evacuation time, and suppression of food intake . For this reason, inhibition of DPPIV enhances the activity of GLP-I, increases insulin activity, and improves sugar metabolism, thereby suggesting that it is effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes .
  • DPPIV is also known to be involved in the metabolism of neuropeptide Y that is a neuropeptide, in the activation of T cells that is cells of the immune system, in the adhesion of cancer cells to endothelium, and in the entry of HIV virus into lymphocytes .
  • inhibition of DPPIV is considered to be effective in the treatment of diseases such as autoimmune disease .
  • DPPIV is expressed at a high level in fibrocytes taken from the skin of patients suffering from psoriasis, arthritis rheumatoides or lichen planus, and that patients suffering from benign prostate hypertrophy show a high degree of DPPIV activity. It is therefore expected that inhibition of DPPIV is also effective in the treatment of dermatosis and benign prostate hypertrophy.

Description

DESCRIPTION
CYANOPYRROLIDINE DERIVATIVE-CONTAINING COMPOSITION FOR SOLID PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS, SOLID PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATION CONTAINING THE COMPOSITION, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SOLID
PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATION
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a composition for solid pharmaceutical preparations consisting of a cyanopyrrolidine derivative, to a solid pharmaceutical preparation containing the composition, and to a process for producing the solid pharmaceutical preparation.
BACKGROUND ART
Dipeptidylpeptidase IV (DPPIV) is a kind of serine protease that cleaves , by hydrolysis , dipeptides from peptides chain - with proline or alanine at the second position from N-terminal . DPPIV is widely distributed in tissues , blood plasma and organs such as kidneys and liver, and is involved in the metabolism of a wide spectrum of physiologically active peptides .
Recent studies revealed that DPPIVmediates the metabolism of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-I ) ; that is, DPPIV inactivates GLP-I by cleaving, by hydrolysis, dipeptide of a N-terminal His-Ala of GLP-I , and the inactivated GLP-I is allowed to act as an antagonist for the GLP-I receptor . Known physiological functions of GLP-I include stimulation of insulin secretion from pancreas, extension of gastric evacuation time, and suppression of food intake . For this reason, inhibition of DPPIV enhances the activity of GLP-I, increases insulin activity, and improves sugar metabolism, thereby suggesting that it is effective for the treatment of type 2 diabetes .
DPPIV is also known to be involved in the metabolism of neuropeptide Y that is a neuropeptide, in the activation of T cells that is cells of the immune system, in the adhesion of cancer cells to endothelium, and in the entry of HIV virus into lymphocytes . Thus, inhibition of DPPIV is considered to be effective in the treatment of diseases such as autoimmune disease .
In addition, it has been found that DPPIV is expressed at a high level in fibrocytes taken from the skin of patients suffering from psoriasis, arthritis rheumatoides or lichen planus, and that patients suffering from benign prostate hypertrophy show a high degree of DPPIV activity. It is therefore expected that inhibition of DPPIV is also effective in the treatment of dermatosis and benign prostate hypertrophy.
Examples of conventional compounds for inhibiting DPPIV are as follows : International Patent Publication No .03/095425 pamphlet discloses a cyanopyrrolidine derivative and a salt thereof, which is expressed by a predetermined general formula and which contains , for example, ( 2S, 4S) -I- [ ( 2S , 3S ) -2- [ ( 1-acetoxyethoxycarbonγl ) amino] -3-met ylpentanoyl] -2-cyano-4-fluoropyrrolidine or
(2S, 4S) -1- [ ( 2S ) -2- [ ( 1-acetoxyethoxycarbonyl ) amino] -3-methyl butanoyl] -2-cyano-4-fluoropyrrolidine; International Patent Publication No .2004/101514 pamphletdiscloses a cyanopyrrolidine derivative which is expressed by a predetermined general formula and which contains, for example,
(2S, 4S) -2-cyano-4-fluoro-l- [ [2- ( 3 , 4-methylenedioxybenzoyl ) a mino-1, 1-dimethyl] ethylamino] acetylpyrrolidine; International Patent Publication No .02/38541 pamphlet discloses a cyanopyrrolidine derivative which is expressed by a predetermined general formula and which contains, for example,
( 2S, 4S) -2-cyano-4-fluoro-l- [ [ ( 2S , 3S ) -3-methyl-2-methylamino ] pentanoyl] pyrrolidine; and International Patent Publication No .2004/02407 pamphlet discloses as a highly stable cyanopyrrolidine derivative a benzenesulfonic acid salt of
(2S, 4S) -2-cyano-4-fluoro-l- [ (2-hydroxy-l, 1-dimethyl ) ethylam ino] acetylpyrrolidine . However, addition of oral additives as- solid pharmaceutical preparations to the cyanopyrrolidine derivatives disclosed in the foregoing documents facilitates the production of compounds that results from decomposition of the cyanopyrrolidine derivatives (hereinafter, referred to as "decomposition of the cyanopyrrolidine derivative ( s) " on an appropriate basis) and, therefore, their stability in the solid pharmaceutical preparations is not necessarily satisfactory . DISCLOSRE OF THE INVENTION
The present invention has been accomplished in view of the foregoing problems of the related art, and an obj ect thereof is to provide : a composition for solid pharmaceutical preparations (although it contains a cyanopyrrolidine derivative) capable of ensuring the stability of the cyanopyrrolidine derivative formulated in pharmaceutical preparations and of reducing the decomposition of the cyanopyrrolidine derivative due to the addition of other oral additives ; a solid pharmaceutical preparation containing the composition; and a process for producing the solid pharmaceutical preparation.
The present inventors have diligently conducted studies to solve the foregoing problems . As a result, they have established that it is possible to ensure the stability of a cyanopyrrolidine derivative formulated in pharmaceutical preparations by mixing a cyanopyrrolidine derivative with at least one stabilizing ingredient selected from the group- consisting of sugars and sugar alcohols to form a composition essentially consisting of the cyanopyrrolidine derivative and the stabilizing ingredient, and that it is possible to reduce the decomposition of the cyanopyrrolidine derivative even when mixed with other oral additives at a later time . Thus, they have completed the present invention .
Specifically, the composition of the present invention for solid pharmaceutical preparations is a composition essentially consisting of a cyanopyrrolidine derivative represented by the following general formula ( 1 ) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and at least one stabilizing ingredient selected from the group consisting of sugars and sugar alcohols , [ Formula 1 ]
