[5] Clopidogrel bisulfate, i.e. methyl(+)-(S)-α-(2-chlorophenyl)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothieno[3,2-c]pyridinyl-5-acetate bisulfate is anti-thrombotic, which was first disclosed in European patent no. 281459. Clopidogrel bisulfate crystalline form 1 may be prepared following the synethsis method described in this patent. This European patent also describes about the enantiomers of tetrahydrothienopyridine derivatives and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof. Specifically, it discloses that the dextrorotatory isomer of clopidogrel bisulfate shows a superior antiplatelet activity while the levorotatory isomer has comparatively less superior activity and nature.
[6] U. S. patent no. 4,847,265 is directed to an isomeric clopidogrel, its pharmaceutical salts and a pharmaceutical formulation containing pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. In particular, U. S. patent no. 6,429,210 is directed to a clopidogrel bisulfate among various salts, and discloses that the crystalline form 2 has superior stability to the crystalline form 1.
[7] Among prior art describing on the stability of clopidogrel and its salts, U. S. patent publication no. 2003/0096837 relates to a pharmaceutical formulation containing clopidogrel bisulfate and zinc stearate, stearic acid and sodium stearyl fumarate as lubricants, which further comprises crospovidone, sodium croscarmellose, sodium starch glycolate as disintegrants for improving stability.
[8] Currently marketed commercial product, Plavix ( Sanofi-Synthelabo Korea ), which was used herein as a control drug, contains 98 mg of clopidogrel bisulfate (i.e. 75 mg of clopidogrel) per a tablet. This tablet is film-coated, and the non-coated tablet comprises mannitol, hydrogenated caster oil, microciystalline cellulose, poly(ethylene glycol) 6000 and pregelatinized starch. Each tablet weighs about 240 mg.
[9] However, there has been no report about a preparation containing clopidogrel bisulfate irrespectively of its polymorphic form along with starch and cellulose-based excipients according to the present invention.
[10] The present inventors performed extensive studies to solve the aforementioned problems, and finally completed the present invention by developing an oral preparation containing clopidogrel bisulfate irrespectively of its polymorphic form alo ng with starch and cellulose-based excipients, thus showing superior storage stability with equivalent drug release.
[11] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an oral preparation containing clopidogrel bisulfate, starch and cellulose with improved storage stability.

[57] Test Example 1: Stability test
[58] The clopidogrel bisulfate tablets prepared in Examples 1, 2, 5, 7, 9 and 10 and
Comparative Examples 1-6 and the Plavix tablets (Sanofi-Synthelabo Korea) were subject to the stability tests.

That is, a long-term test was performed at 25 °C and 60% RH, and a accelerated test was performed at 40 °C and 75% RH as open tests.
[59] The analysis was performed according to USP 3215-3216. Most product-related impurities were ascertained to be hydrolysis byproducts (RRT 0.5, Impurity A) and R- enantiomer (RRT 2.0, Impurity C) in terms of RRT (the relative retention time). USP recommended that impurity A, impurity C, unknown impurity and total impurity should be below 0.2%, 1.0%, 0.1% and 1.2%, respectively. The increased amounts of the product-related impurities were calculated relative to initial values, and provided in TABLEs 3-6 below.

( Sanofi-Synthelabo Korea ) were subject to the dissolution test according to method II Paddle test as described in the Korean Pharmacopoeia VIII, respectively. The dissolution test was performed at pH 2.0 as recommended in USP 25, and media was 1000 mL and paddle rotation speed was 50 rpm.
[64] 4 mL of the sample was taken at 5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes, and filtered with 45 μm membrane filter. The solution was analyzed using the absorption spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 240 nm.
[65] The tablets of Examples herein were asctained to show equivalent dissolution behavior as compared to the commercially availale tablets (figure 1).
[66]
Industrial Applicability
[67]
[68] As set forth above, the clopidogrel bisulfate containing tablets according to the present invention further comprise predetermined amounts of starch and cellulose, thus improving the storage stability and enabling a longer shelf life and a better quality of products.
