Preferred is spray drying.
- the spray drying is a method of making fine particles by dissolving the active ingredient in a certain solvent and the spray-drying the resulting solution.

- FIG. 1 is a graph showing a residual amount of a naphthoquinone-based compound in the jejunum, ileum and large intestine, respectively, when single-pass intestinal perfusion was carried out according to Experimental Example 4;
- FIG. 2 is a graph showing outlet steady-state concentrations of a naphthoquinone-based compound under perfusion in Experimental Example 4.
- Octanol and phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) were saturated with a counter-solvent for 24 hours or more.
- a given amount of a naphthoquinone-based compound (Compound 1 of Table 1 below) was dissolved in the thus-saturated octanol, mixed with triple-distilled water and stirred using a magnetic stirrer at 200 rpm for 13 hours or more.
- Samples were taken, filtered through a 0.45 ⁇ m RC Membrane filter and diluted with methanol. The diluted sample materials were analyzed by HPLC. A partition coefficient versus an amount of Compound 1 was determined. The results thus obtained are given in Table 2.
- the partition coefficient was a value of 2.299, thus representing that Compound 1 is relatively fat-soluble. This result means that Compound 1 has octanol-solubility 100-fold higher than water-solubility, and sufficiently passes through a hydrophobic layer inside the cell membrane, followed by intracellular absorption.
- Example 1 Micronization of active ingredient using Jet mill
- Micronizing of an active ingredient was carried out using a Jet mill (SJ-IOO, Nisshin, Japan). Operation was run at a supply pressure of 0.65 Mpa, and a feed rate of 50 to 100 g/hr.
- the synthesized naphthoquinone-based compound (Compound 1 of Table 1) or the naphthoquinone-based compound of Example 1 (including micronized and non-micronized particles) was added to methylene chloride, and a salt such as sodium chloride, a saccharide such as white sugar or lactose, or a vehicle such as microcrystalline cellulose, monobasic calcium phosphate, starch or mannitoL, a lubricant such as magnesium stearate, talc or glyceryl behenate, and a solubilizer such as Poloxamer were added to a given amount of ethanol, followed by homogeneous dispersion to prepare a spray-drying solution which will be used for subsequent spray-drying.

- the steady-state was confirmed by the ratio of the outlet to inlet concentrations (Cout/Qn) versus time.
- the outlet steady-state concentration of the compound under perfusion was calculated.
- the results thus obtained are given in Table 4 and FIG. 2, respectively.
- the effective permeability was measured at 4 points of each intestinal tissue. As shown in Table 4 and FIG. 2, it can be seen that the highest permeability was observed in the large intestine.

After 6 hours, the intestine-targeted formulation was removed and washed, and a content of an active ingredient was analyzed by HPLC. An effective amount of the active ingredient was assessed as a measure of the acid resistance. The acid resistance exhibited a very excellent result of 90 to 100%, thus suggesting that the intestine-targeted formulation is chemically stable in the stomach or small intestine.

- the thus-acclimated animals were randomly divided into four groups, each consisting of 7 animals: a control group with administration of sodium lauryl sulfate (10 mg/kg), a group with administration of simply finely-divided powder of a naphthoquinone-based compound (200 mg/kg), a group with administration of a jet-milled naphthoquinone-based compound, and a group with administration of an intestine-targeted formulation of a ground naphthoquinone-based compound.
- Each group of animals was given perorally (PO) 200 mg/kg of samples. Animals were fed solid feed pellets and water ad libitum.
