Definitions
- the present invention is related to the techniques used in the pharmaceutical industry, and more particularly, it is related to a pharmaceutical composition for weight loss comprising as active ingredients Orlistat and L-Carnitine, as well as the process for obtaining it. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- Obesity has become one of the greatest threats to the population due to its increasing incidence and its ability to induce chronic pathologies in almost all body systems. In the last fifteen years, progress has been made in understanding the disease that exceeds those achieved during the previous one hundred years, this has created a rational basis for new therapies capable of preventing or reversing obesity.
- obesity Due to its magnitude and significance, obesity is considered in Mexico as a Public Health problem, as evidenced by the National Health Survey of the year 2000, detecting that from an early age there is a high prevalence of overweight and obesity, since that in adolescents there is 29% overweight and obesity and, in relation to adults, in women aged 20-59, 36.1% were overweight and 28.1% obese and, in men in the same group, 40.9 % overweight and 18.6% obese.
- obesity and overweight have detrimental effects on health in the short and long term in pediatric age, including: psychiatric disorders, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hypertrophy of the left ventricle, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, alterations of endothelial function , hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea and orthopedic problems.
- psychiatric disorders high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, hypertrophy of the left ventricle, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, alterations of endothelial function , hyperinsulinemia or insulin resistance, asthma, obstructive sleep apnea and orthopedic problems.
- Orlistat also known as tetrahydrolipostatin, is a drug to treat obesity, its main function is to prevent the absorption of fats from the human diet, thus reducing calorie intake. Orlistat works by inhibiting pancreatic lipase, an enzyme that breaks down triglycerides in the intestine. Without this enzyme, dietary triglycerides are not hydrolyzed into absorbable acidic acids and are excreted without being digested. Its main effect is the local inhibition of lipase within the gastrointestinal tract after the consumption of this compound by an oral dose.
- L-Carnitine of its salts, the most commonly used is L-Carnitine tartrate (Ci 8 H 36 N20 12 ), (R) -Bis [ (3-carboxy-2-hydroxypropyl) trimethyl ammonium] L-tartrate, of formula (II)
- L-Carnitine Due to its role in lipid metabolism, L-Carnitine is used as an adjunct in the medical management of weight control in patients with exogenous obesity, due to excessive and disorderly food intake.
- composition created with the main objective of absorbing fat-soluble vitamins comprises a pancreatic lipase inhibitor such as Orlistat and L-Carnitine, each of them being administered from independently, that is, they are never mixed.
- a beneficial side effect in weight reduction was observed.
- the composition of said document uses a daily dose 50-300 mg of Orlistat and 50 to 8,000 mg of L-Carnitine.
- the document mentions a daily dose of 500 to 8,000 mg of L-Camitine in an adult.
- Orlistat was used in a daily dose of 360 mg using three capsules of 120 mg each, and for L-Carnitine, a daily dose of 1,000 mg was used before each of the three foods using an effervescent tablet, which added 3,000 mg per day, however this document does not mention the quantitative loss of weight observed, it only mentions a qualitative loss, but above all it does not show whether with amounts less than 3,000 mg of L -Carnitine per day a weight reduction is achieved.
- L-Carnitine Another document on L-Carnitine is that of Derosa G, Cicero AFG, GaddiA, Mugellini A, Ciccarelli L, Fogari R. "The Effect of L-carnitine on plasma lipoprotein (a) levéis in hipercholesterolemic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitas Clin Ther 2003; 25 (5): 1429-39 This document describes a double-blind study for 26 weeks involving 47 men and 47 women between 45 and 57 years and with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 27.3 ⁇ 2.5 kg / m 2 A diet of 1,400 to 1,600 Kcal / day was prescribed for both groups. The intervention group received 2,000 mg / day of L-Carnitine No significant weight loss or differences between groups were observed end of the study
- Bipolar Disord 2006; 8: 503-507 describes a study of the effect of L-Carnitine in 60 obese subjects (49 women and 11 men). A loss of 1.9 kg and 0.9 kg was observed in the treatment group (15 mg / kg / day of L-Carnitine) and the control respectively, assuming patients weighing 70 kg more than 1050 mg per day are needed. L-Carnitine. However, the observed weight loss is not significant nor were differences observed in the two groups. This study was conducted for 26 weeks and included a restriction of 1,500 Kcal in the diet.
- Orlistat for example capsules
- these are prepared from powders obtained by dry mixing, wet granulation or dry granulation procedures.
- a suitable preparation method is needed that confers the Orlistat with suitable physical characteristics such as being a homogeneous and free flowing powder to make its handling simple in the manufacture of a pharmaceutical form produced on a large scale, for example , the capsules.
- an innovative procedure is required for the efficient management of Orlistat if it is combined with another active ingredient.
- L-Carnitine and Orlistat can be used mixed in a pharmaceutical composition for weight loss, and Moreover, it was found that, in the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, it is not necessary to use amounts greater than 1,000 mg of L-Carnitine to achieve such an objective.
- the above is interpreted as a synergistic effect resulting from the association of Orlistat and L-carnitine, which results in a greater effect on weight loss compared to the administration of each of these ingredients separately.
- Another unexpected result is that only one daily dose is needed to achieve substantial weight loss.
- the pharmaceutical weight loss composition of the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a mixture of Orlistat and L-Carnitine as active ingredients or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein, the composition comprises 300 to 1,000 mg of L-Carnitine and 40 to 140 mg of Orlistat.
- the Orlistat is adsorbed or coated with a diluent that allows the Orlistat to be handled properly.
- a diluent that allows the Orlistat to be handled properly.
- said diluent be water soluble, wherein said diluent is found crystallized on the Orlistat in order to coat it.
- the Orlistat adsorbs on said diluent.
- the composition is formulated to be administered orally, preferably a pharmaceutical form of a capsule is preferred.
- a method for preparing a pharmaceutical composition as defined above for this purpose a technique was developed that allows the Orlistat to be handled in an easy and practical way that allows it to be easily mixed with L-Carnitine, avoiding Orlistat's properties of being a fatty and sticky substance.
- the process of the present invention comprises the steps of: dry mixing the Orlistat with a water soluble diluent or a non-alcohol soluble diluent. Subsequently, a wetting of the mixture is performed and then a granulation thereof; then, the granule obtained from Orlistat is dried; Then, the dried Orlistat granule is screened and then mixed with L-Carnitine granules and the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, after this step, as an optional step, this composition is taken to its final pharmaceutical form, preferably a capsule.
- a method of treatment for overweight or obesity which consists in administering to a human patient a therapeutically effective amount of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention as indicated above and in the amounts indicated, where the administration is only once a day.
- a pharmaceutical composition as defined above for the preparation of a medicament useful in the treatment of overweight or obesity, wherein the medicament is dosed only once at day.
- Figure 1 is a graph showing the conditions of onset of patients involved in a first clinical study, patients having been classified into groups according to the specific treatment they received during the clinical study.
- Figure 2 is a graph showing the final conditions of the treatment groups of Figure 1, one of the groups having been treated with a preferred embodiment of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention.
- Figure 3 is a graph showing the percentage of patients who, at the end of the treatment, returned to their normal weight in each group of the first clinical study.
- Figure 4 is a graph showing the percentage of patients who, at the end of the treatment, reduced their weight but were still classified as overweight in each group of the first clinical study.
- Figure 5 is a graph that shows the percentage of patients who, at the end of the treatment, reduced their weight but were still classified with grade 2 obesity in each group of the first clinical study.
- Figure 6 is a graph illustrating the average decrease in body mass index in patients of a second clinical study who were treated with the composition of the present invention.
- Figure 7 is a graph showing the reduction in body mass index achieved in patients treated in the second clinical study.
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising a mixture of Orlistat and L-Carnitine as active ingredients or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and, a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, wherein, the composition comprises 300 to 1,000 mg of L-Carnitine and 40 to 140 mg of Orlistat.
- the amounts used in the composition were shown to have a marked effect on weight reduction, above these limits an unnecessary amount would be supplied to achieve the desired effect and below that an amount that would not have an effect on the loss would be provided. of weight.
- the term "pharmaceutically acceptable” means a material compound or composition that, within the scope of the responsible medical criteria, is suitable for contact with the tissues of humans and animals without toxicity, irritation, allergic response or other excessive problematic complications according to a reasonable profit / risk ratio.
- the association and mixing of the active ingredients of the composition has greater effectiveness in weight loss compared to the use thereof individual way In other words, the active ingredients have a synergistic effect due to their association.
- the composition comprises 600 mg of L-Carnitine, and in another additional embodiment it comprises 120 mg of Orlistat. These amounts are appropriate in order to manufacture a pharmaceutical form of the composition of only one daily dose to reduce weight.
- the composition is most preferably formulated in a single oral dosage unit.
- the L-Carnitine salt used in the composition is L-Carnitine tartrate, although other salts such as levocarnitine, L-Carnitine fumarate, L-Carnitine orotate can be used.
- L-Carnitine tartrate is preferred because it is the salt that is most easily obtained in the market and facilitates providing L-Carnitine in greater proportion with respect to the other salts, in addition, it is more stable.
- Orlistat in the pharmaceutical composition, Orlistat is adsorbed or coated by a diluent which facilitates the process of obtaining the composition as will be seen a little later. More specifically, said diluent is soluble in water so that the Orlistat is coated by said diluent, which is selected from the group comprising maltose, isomalt, lactitol, sugar, mannitol and dextrose.
- Orlistat when Orlistat is adsorbed on the diluent, this is a diluent not soluble in an alcohol, for example an alcohol of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, such as ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
- an alcohol for example an alcohol of 2 or 3 carbon atoms, such as ethyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
- An example of a diluent with these characteristics is calcium phosphate.
- the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention be formulated for oral administration, preferring the form of a capsule, a tablet, an oral solution, a powder to reconstitute by adding a liquid, more preferably, it is preferred to formulate the composition in a capsule, which may well be a capsule made of either hard gelatin or soft gelatin, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose capsules (HPMC) and pululan (NP capsules).
- the capsule contains a maximum of 15% of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier in order to provide an adequate supply of the active ingredients.
- a dry mixing step of the Orlistat is performed with a water soluble diluent or a non-alcohol soluble diluent.
- this mixture is wetted and granulated; then, a drying step of the Orlistat granule is carried out and then a screening of this dry granule; Then, a dry mixture of the Orlistat with granules of the L-Carnitine and the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier is carried out, finally the mixture of these two active ingredients is taken to its final pharmaceutical form, preferably a capsule.
- a water soluble diluent preferably lactose, maltose, isomalt, lactitol, sugar, mannitol and dextrose is used in the dry mixing step of the Orlistat; preferably this dry mixing step is performed in a high speed mixer-granulator (High shear).
- the wetting step is preferably performed using purified water to form wet granules which are then screened by a rotor mill.
- the drying step of the wet granule of Orlistat can be performed in a fluidized bed, which preferably works at room temperature. Once the Orlistat granule has dried, sieving is carried out using a rotor mill, where there are no problems with melting or bonding of the Orlistat.
- the Orlistat granule is mixed with the L-Carnitine and the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which preferably comprises at least one moisture adsorbent or desiccant such as magnesium metasilicate aluminum, talc and silicon dioxide and, a Lubricant such as calcium stearate, zinc stearate, talc, sodium stearyl fumarate and magnesium stearate.
- the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier which preferably comprises at least one moisture adsorbent or desiccant such as magnesium metasilicate aluminum, talc and silicon dioxide and, a Lubricant such as calcium stearate, zinc stearate, talc, sodium stearyl fumarate and magnesium stearate.
- a granulate of the brittle, fragile and non-unctuous pharmaceutical composition is obtained, which does not present handling problems during encapsulation.
- the lactose is solubilized and when dried it causes the crystallization of the lactose on Orlistat, which causes that the characteristic property of Orlistat to be a fatty powder is not present, consequently, the final mixing of Orlistat with L-Carnitine is facilitated, and consequently the large-scale production of a capsule or other is facilitated Pharmaceutical forms of the composition of the present invention.
- the latter in the dry mixing stage of the Orlistat with the diluent, is characterized in that it is a non-soluble diluent in an alcohol of 2 or 3 carbon atoms such as the ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, the diluent can be calcium phosphate, or others that are not soluble in said alcohols, mixing can be carried out in a high-speed mixer-granulator (High shear).
- a high-speed mixer-granulator High shear
- isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol is used, forming granules, then the sieving of the wet granulate of Orlistat is carried out by means of a rotor mill. Subsequently, the wet granule is dried, preferably at room temperature by a fluidized bed
- Orlistat's dry granule is screened by a rotor mill, without melting or sticking problems. Then, the final mixing of the Orlistat with the L-Carnitine is carried out, and the pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle comprising at least one moisture adsorbent or desiccant and a lubricant, this final mixture can be performed using a bins mixer. Finally, the composition is taken to its final pharmaceutical form by encapsulation without glue problems caused by the Orlistat.
- the modality where a water soluble diluent is used has the advantage of being an aqueous procedure without solvent exposure, while in the non-alcohol soluble diluent modality, it allows the density of the pharmaceutical composition is larger allowing the filling in capsule, for example a capsule of size 00 elongated (capacity of 1.02 milliliters). But it should be noted that both modalities are useful for obtaining the composition of the present invention.
- the wetting of the components with the humectant that can be water or an alcohol ensures that the components acquire the appropriate consistency that allows the formation of granules to be obtained Orlistat uniforms by sieving and drying.
- the wetting end point is achieved when taking a portion of a sample with your hand and pressing it gently, you get a firm dough that separates it in half and separates into two portions without completely fragmenting. When this occurs, wet sieving can be carried out to form a uniform Orlistat granule.
- the drying stage of the wet granulate of Orlistat an attempt is made to obtain a uniform moisture content and it is convenient to maintain an amount of residual moisture, so that the different components remain in a hydrated state, therefore it is necessary to carry out controls on the content of granulate moisture until the residual moisture specified for the composition is obtained.
- Temperature control is important to ensure the stability of the components subjected to granulation.
- the drying temperature is 35.0 ° C to 40.0 ° C and the residual humidity of the granule should not be greater than 1.0%.
- the particle size of the ingredients and carriers and diluents used in the composition be uniform, because particles of different dimensions tend to stratify at rest, movement or during transport, which results in an inaccurate dosage of the active ingredients.
- active ingredients and vehicles except magnesium stearate
- they are passed through 24 final mesh, which gives a particle size of approximately 701 microns.
- the Theological characteristics necessary to form for example a capsule with the composition are obtained.
- magnesium stearate this is passed through 60 mesh to create a smaller particle size and a larger surface area than the rest of the formulation thus favoring the lubrication of the product.
- Another important factor to take care of in the procedure is that because the mixtures of the two active ingredients carried out sequentially have a more homogeneous distribution of their components than the random mixtures, so it is necessary to be careful in the order in which the ingredients are placed and in the same way to verify the complete homogenization before adding the following component. Also, by setting mixing times and repeating each batch, the standardization of the process between different batches of the product is guaranteed.
- This control is required to prevent segregation or variation of the content of the active substance within the product. Mixing times and orders for adding raw materials are verified according to the manufacturing procedure.
- the relative humidity is within specification to avoid that said environmental factor influences the rheological behavior of the product thus affecting the encapsulation process. So periodic verification throughout the process, and this should not exceed 60% relative humidity, above this limit the higher relative humidity in the composition can be affected functionally with respect to its flow or valuation, therefore dehumidification measures should be taken in case The established specifications are exceeded.
- composition of the present invention is useful in the treatment of overweight and obesity in a human patient, for this purpose the composition is supplied in a therapeutically effective amount of the active ingredients as indicated above and only once per day, which It is highly practical, since patients prefer a single dose instead of multiple dosages per day.
