Definitions
- the present invention relates to solid formulations in the form of controlled-release tablets containing alfuzosin, the process for its preparation and use thereof in the treatment of prostate hypertrophy.
- Alfuzosin hydrochloride
- alfuzosin and its salts are known to be potent blockers of ⁇ -adrenergic receptors and act selectively on the urinary tract. Since Alfuzosin has a short duration of action, it would be desirable to provide oral pharmaceutical forms allowing for a single daily administration ensuring an effective plasma concentration of active ingredient over 24 hours.
- Geomatrix ® technology consisting of a three layer- tablet in which alfuzosin is distributed in two layers.
- a ready-release layer contains a portion of the total alfuzosin
- a second layer contains the drug residual amount providing a protracted release
- the third layer acts as a barrier preventing alfuzosin release (EP 938318).
- This technology which allows to flexibly modulate the kinetics release, has however problems such as high production costs and difficulty in reproducing the release kinetics and therefore the drug plasma levels, which are the result of different mechanisms determined by single sub-components of the formulation.
- WO 2004/037228 relates to alfuzosin protracted-release formulations in which one or more layers are present, only one of which containing alfuzosin.
- Other patent applications deal with alfuzosin solid controlled-release formulations which, in most cases, include multiple layers with differential release and various spatial dispositions (see for instance EP 673650 and HU 9903428). DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
- hydrophilic polymers are hydroxypropyl methylcellulose mixtures. Said compounds form, in the presence of water, a gel whose dissolution/erosion rate decreases with the increase in viscosity. Mixtures of these polymers having different viscosity degrees make it possible to modulate the drug release rate, which is determined by mechanisms of diffusion through the hydrated matrix and progressive dissolution/erosion of the matrix.
- the tablet of the present invention may contain ingredients which contribute to modulating the active ingredient release, preferably polyvinylpyrrolidone in amounts from 1 to 4% and lactose in amounts from 15 to 25% on the tablet total weight.
- Polyvinylpyrrolidone allows to maintain a high gradient of drug concentration in solution inside the hydrated matrix. Lactose, thanks to its high water solubility, promotes the rapid entry of water or digestive liquids inside the tablet, providing the rapid hydration of the core and therefore the formation of a gradient of drug concentration among non-hydrated matrix, hydrated matrix and surrounding environment.
- the tablets are coated with a water-insoluble, film-forming polymer, preferably ethylcellulose (e.g. NlO and NlOO) and poly-methylmethacrylates (e.g. Eudragit RS) in a quantity ranging from 0.5% to 10% of the weight of the tablet.
- a water-insoluble, film-forming polymer preferably ethylcellulose (e.g. NlO and NlOO) and poly-methylmethacrylates (e.g. Eudragit RS) in a quantity ranging from 0.5% to 10% of the weight of the tablet.
- the solid formulation according to the invention is preferably prepared by a process that comprises the steps of:
- the tablet of the invention shows a dissolution profile independent of the pH of the dissolution medium. Moreover, the tablet of the invention is easy to manufacture, by means of easily-available and non-expensive apparatuses.
- a further aspect of the invention relates to the use of said tablet in the treatment of benign prostate hypertrophy.
- EXAMPLE 100 g alfuzosin hydrochloride are mixed with 200 g hydroxypropyl methylcellulose KlOO, 700 g hydroxypropyl methylcellulose Kl 5M and 500 g hydroxypropyl methylcellulose KlOOM.
- the resulting mixture is kneaded with a povidone solution, granulated through a calibrated wire extruder and dried.
- the resulting granulate is mixed with 500 g lactose monohydrate, 500 g microcrystalline cellulose, 4 g colloidal silica and 6 g magnesium stearate.
- the resulting mixture is pressed with 10 mm diameter round dies into tablets containing 10 mg of alfuzosin hydrochloride each.
- Tablets can optionally be coated with an insoluble polymer in quantities ranging from 0.5% to 10% of the weight of the tablet, to further modulate the in vitro dissolution pattern.
