Description
PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATION CONTAINING AMLODIPINE AND ASPIRIN
[Technical Field]
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical formulation or kit comprising amlodipine and aspirin; and a pharmaceutical composition comprising amlodipine maleate.
[Background Art]
Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, is a drug relaxing the smooth muscle in the coronary arteries, expanding the coronary arteries, and increasing oxygen supply to vasoconstriction-induced ischemic heart muscle by suppressing influx of calcium ion into calcium channel located in the smooth muscle and heart muscle.
Aspirin is a drug often used as an analgesic or antipyretic. In addition, aspirin is discovered to be effective for decreasing risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction and ischemic attack, and preventing re-infarction after the outset of cardiac infarction in patient having instable angina pectoris by suppressing aggregation of platelet.
Recently, combination therapy of the two drugs has been studied because it shows a synergic effect in suppressing activity of platelet (Inhibition of platelet activity in vivo by amlodipine alone and combined with aspirin, Int J Cardiol, 1997; 62: Sl I l- Sl 17 and End Organ Protection by Calcium-Channel Blockers, Clin. Cardiol., 2001; 24: 102-106).
However, a formulation comprising the two drugs has not been discovered until now.
[Disclosure of the Invention] [Technical Problem]
Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical formulation or kit comprising both amlodipine and aspirin.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an amlodipine maleate- containing pharmaceutical composition having improved stability.
[Technical Solution]
The present invention is based on a surprising fact that if amlodipine and aspirin are mixed or in contact with each other, the amlodipine and aspirin do a bad effect on each other's stability.
In addition, the present invention is based on another surprising fact that if amlodipine maleate is used as the amlodipine, some ingredient can much increase the stability of amlodipine maleate.
Therefore, to achieve the object, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the amlodipine and the aspirin are separated from each other to block contact between the amlodipine and the aspirin.
When amlodipine and aspirin are separated from each other, the stability of amlodipine and aspirin are improved about 5 times and 10 times, respectively, compared to when amlodipine and aspirin are mixed. It is expected for the specific molecular structure of amlodipine and aspirin to cause this difference of stability, and thus amlodipine and aspirin should be separated when a pharmaceutical formulation comprising both active ingredients together is developed.
It is conventional to mix both active ingredients in a formulation for combination therapy because of manufacturing cost, but the stability of amlodipine and aspirin is more important factor than the manufacturing cost.
In the pharmaceutical formulation according to the present invention, preferably, the content of aspirin and amlodipine are 10-500 mg and 1-30 mg per formulation, respectively, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to this content range. More preferably, the content of aspirin and amlodipine are 20-400 mg and 2-30 mg per formulation, and most preferably, the content of aspirin and amlodipine are 30-300 mg and 3-10 mg per formulation.
The pharmaceutical formulation or kit according to the present invention can comprise amlodipine freebase or it's pharmaceutically acceptable salt as the amlodipine ingredient. The pharmaceutically acceptable salt of amlodipine includes, but is not limited to, amlodipine maleate, amlodipine besylate, amlodipine camsylate, amlodipine
adipate, amlodipine mesylate or amlodipine nicotinate.
More preferably, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the (a) ingredient or the (b) ingredient; or a granule comprising the (a) ingredient or the (b) ingredient is coated by polymer to block contact between the amlodipine and the aspirin. For example, the pharmaceutical formulation is a capsule comprising both the (a) ingredient (or the granule comprising the (a) ingredient) which is coated by polymer and the (b) ingredient (or the granule comprising the (b) ingredient). Similarly, the pharmaceutical formulation may be a capsule comprising both the (a) ingredient (or the granule comprising the (a) ingredient) and the (b) ingredient (or the granule comprising the (b) ingredient) which is coated by polymer.
As said polymer according to the present invention, any polymer can be used if the polymer forms a coating layer to physically block the contact between the (a) ingredient and the (b) ingredient by surrounding any one ingredient or a granule comprising any one ingredient. Examples of the polymer include, but are not limited to, alkylcellulose, hydroxyalkylcellulose, carboxyalkylcellulose, polyvinylalcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinylacetate, polyalkeneoxide, polyalkeneglycol, polyethylene-polypropylene polymer, polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene polymer, zein, shellac, diethylaminoacetate, aminoalkylmethacrylate copolymer, sodium alginate, chitosan, gelatin, gum or poly-L-lysine. At lease one polymer selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acetate succinate, methacrylate copolymer, aminoalkylmethacrylate copolymer and ethylcellulose is more preferable when considering the easiness of manufacturing and the stability of amlodipine.
In particular, it is preferable to coat aspirin with enteric polymer or polymer for sustained-release compared to coating amlodipine because aspirin can cause stomach side effect.
In addition, if amlodipine maleate is used as the (a) ingredient, it is preferable to coat amlodipine maleate because the coating layer can prevent amlodipine maleate from being contact with water as well as aspirin, which can improve the stability of amlodipine maleate.
Coating amlodipine, aspirin or granule comprising any one can be performed by
any machine or apparatus if the machine or apparatus can spray a coating solution after fluidizing the ingredient powder or granule. For example, fluidized bed coater can be used for coating of the present invention.
More preferably, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation comprises a tablet or granule comprising any one between the (a) ingredient and the (b) ingredient; first coating layer surrounding the tablet or granule; and second coating layer surrounding the first coating layer and comprising the other ingredient.
When considering the compliance of patient taking two different drugs, it is preferred that only one tablet or granule comprises both drugs together. It can be achieved by making a tablet or granule comprising any one between amlodipine and aspirin, making a coating layer for separation with said polymer, and then again coating the tablet or granule having the first coating layer with the other active ingredient and a coating material. This method can make one tablet or granule having two different drugs together without contacting each other. When considering the fact that a dose of aspirin is much more than that of amlodipine, it is more preferable to make a tablet or granule comprising aspirin, make a coating layer for separation, and then make another coating layer with coating solution comprising amlodipine.
Conventional tablet-coating machine used for making conventional film- coating tablet can be used for the coating of said tablet in the present invention.
Preferably, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is a multilayered tablet comprising first layer comprising the (a) ingredient; and second layer comprising the (b) ingredient. More preferably, the present invention provides said multilayered tablet comprising a layer or membrane for separating between the first layer and the second layer.
Multilayered tablet means a tablet having, for example, two or three separate layers made by the following exemplary processes: tabletting granules having one active ingredient, adding another granules to the prepared tablet having and again
tabletting the granules on the prepared tablet; or supplying one kind of granules and another kind of granules into punch hole of tabletting machine one after the other, and tabletting two kinds of granules at a time. The contact between the amlodipine and the aspirin can be prevented because the active ingredients are contained in different layers, respectively. Furthermore, it is more preferable for the multilayered tablet to comprise a layer or membrane for separating each layer from another layer to completely block the contact between the amlodipine and the aspirin.
Preferably, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is a press-coated tablet comprising a core tablet comprising any one between the (a) ingredient and the (b) ingredient; and an exterior layer surrounding the core tablet and comprising the other ingredient. More preferably, the present invention provides said press-coated tablet, wherein the core tablet is coated by polymer.
Press-coated tablet means a tablet manufactured by preparing a small tablet (the core tablet) with conventional tabletting methods, putting the small tablet into punch hole having some amount of granules, filling punch hole with granules, and then tabletting them. In the press-coated tablet, there is little contact between amlodipine and aspirin because the amlodipine and the aspirin are separately contained in the core tablet or the layer surrounding the core tablet. Furthermore, it is more preferable for the core tablet to be coated with said polymer to completely block the contact.
More preferably, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical formulation comprising (a) amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutically acceptable salt; and (b) aspirin, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation is a capsule comprising a small tablet comprising the (a) ingredient; and another small tablet comprising the (b) ingredient.
The present invention also provides a kit comprising (a) a formulation comprising amlodipine freebase or its pharmaceutical acceptable salt; and (b) another formulation comprising aspirin, wherein the formulations are separated from each other to block contact between the amlodipine and the aspirin. Preferably, the present invention provides the kit, wherein the formulation is capsule, microcapsule, tablet or granule.

C. Stability test of each formulation
Example 11 : Stability test of each formulation
Formulation examples and manufactured formulations were packed in HDPE
bottle by 100 capsules or 100 tablets per bottle. Bottles were stored in an accelerated condition (40±2°C, 75±5%RH) for 90 days, and then impurities were evaluated. Analyzing methods of the example 1 were used in this test.
1) Stability test of capsules
Results were shown in the below table 12. [Table 12]
As shown in comparative example 2 of the table 12, the stabilities of both amlodipine maleate and aspirin were bad when aspirin was contacted with amlodipine maleate. However, comparative example 1 and all formulation examples had good stabilities compared to the comparative example 2 because the contact between amlodipine and aspirin was blocked.
2) Stability test of tablets
As shown in comparative example 3 of the table 13, the stabilities of both amlodipine maleate and aspirin were bad when aspirin was contacted with amlodipine maleate. However, all formulation examples had good stabilities compared to the comparative example 3 because the contact between amlodipine and aspirin was blocked.
In addition, the stability of the comparative example 3 was worse than that of comparative example 2, which is thought to be caused by the difference (capsule vs. tablet) of type of formulation. Tablet, the comparative example 3, usually causes much contact between amlodipine and aspirin compared to capsule, which has a bad effect on the stability of each other.
The stability of formulation example 13 was bad, which is thought to be caused by break of coating layer happening due to tabletting pressure. The break causes the contact between amlodipine and aspirin.
