Description

カンデサルタンシレキセチル含有医薬組成物Pharmaceutical composition containing candesartan cilexetil
 本発明は、カンデサルタンシレキセチルを活性成分として含み、活性成分の溶出率と安定性が高められた医薬組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising candesartan cilexetil as an active ingredient, and the elution rate and stability of the active ingredient are enhanced.
 カンデサルタンシレキセチルは、アンジオテンシンII(AII)受容体拮抗作用を示す高血圧治療薬である。市販されている製剤は、経口投与用の錠剤であるが、カンデサルタンシレキセチルは水に極めて難溶性である。(溶解度0.05μg/ml未満) Candesartan cilexetil is an antihypertensive agent that exhibits angiotensin II (AII) receptor antagonism. Commercially available formulations are tablets for oral administration, but candesartan cilexetil is very poorly soluble in water. (Solubility <0.05 μg / ml)
 溶出率を高めるため、実質的に非晶質の形態のこの化合物を含んでいる経口投与用固形製剤が提案されている。特表2010-502698(特許文献1)参照。具体的には、この化合物をポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)、またはこの化合物とPVPと非イオン界面活性剤をエタノールに溶かし、この溶液を結合液として用いて賦形成分を造粒し、錠剤へ圧縮成形することよりなる。この文献では、実質的に非晶質のカンデサルタンシレキセチルの固体分散体を得る目的で化合物とエチレンオキシドとプロピレンオキシドの共重合体(ポロキサマー)またはポリエチレングリコール6000の混合物を溶融し、冷却固化して固体分散体とする実験を行っているが、いずれの場合も分散体中の薬剤は結晶質であったことを報告している。 In order to increase the dissolution rate, a solid preparation for oral administration containing this compound in a substantially amorphous form has been proposed. See Special Table 2010-502698 (Patent Document 1). Specifically, this compound is polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), or this compound, PVP and nonionic surfactant are dissolved in ethanol, and then the formed component is granulated using this solution as a binder, and then compressed into tablets. Made up of. In this document, for the purpose of obtaining a solid dispersion of substantially amorphous candesartan cilexetil, a mixture of a compound and a copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide (poloxamer) or polyethylene glycol 6000 is melted, cooled and solidified. Experiments with solid dispersions were conducted, but in all cases it was reported that the drug in the dispersion was crystalline.
 カンデサルタンシレキセチルは単独で固体状態では、温度、湿度、光に対して安定であるが、製剤化において安定性が低下することが知られている。特に製造過程に加えられる圧力、摩擦、熱等により結晶の歪みが生じることがあり、経日的な含量低下が加速される。特許第2682353号(特許文献2)は、カンデサルタンシレキセチル(化合物V)を含む錠剤等の固形製剤において、有効成分の経時的分解を抑制する安定剤としてポリエチレングリコール6000を使用することを提案している。しかしながらこの技術は溶出率の改良については十分に考慮されていない。 It is known that candesartan cilexetil alone is stable to temperature, humidity, and light in the solid state, but its stability is reduced in formulation. In particular, crystal distortion may occur due to pressure, friction, heat, and the like applied to the manufacturing process, and the deterioration of content over time is accelerated.

 実質的に非晶質形態のカンデサルタンシレキセチルおよび可溶化剤を含む前述の経口投与用固形製剤は、エタノールのような有機溶媒の使用を含む複雑な工程が必要である上、熱などに対して不安定なこの化合物の製剤化工程および貯蔵時の安定性について十分に考慮されていない。また、カンデサルタンシレキセチルの安定性を改善した前述の固形製剤では、溶出率については十分に考慮されていない。それ故本発明の課題は、これらの欠点が改良されたカンデサルタンシレキセチルの新しい経口投与用製剤、特に溶出率と安定性の両面に関して先行技術によって可能であったよりもさらに高められた製剤を提供することである。 The aforementioned solid preparation for oral administration containing candesartan cilexetil in a substantially amorphous form and a solubilizer requires a complicated process including the use of an organic solvent such as ethanol, and is resistant to heat. This compound, which is unstable and unstable, has not been fully considered for its formulation process and storage stability. Moreover, in the above-mentioned solid preparation with improved stability of candesartan cilexetil, the dissolution rate is not sufficiently considered. The object of the present invention is therefore to provide a new formulation for oral administration of candesartan cilexetil which is improved in these drawbacks, in particular a formulation which is even higher than was possible by the prior art in terms of both dissolution rate and stability. It is to be.
 本発明によれば、本発明の医薬組成物はゲル化剤を含む担体にカンデサルタンシレキセチルを結晶状態のまま均一に分散させることにより提供される。ゲル化剤を含む担体には薬物の溶出速度および/または製剤の粘度調節および/または薬物の安定化等の機能を兼ね備えることができる補助剤(アジュバント)を含むことができる。 According to the present invention, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is provided by uniformly dispersing candesartan cilexetil in a crystalline state in a carrier containing a gelling agent. The carrier containing the gelling agent can contain an adjuvant (adjuvant) that can combine functions such as drug elution rate and / or viscosity adjustment of the preparation and / or drug stabilization.
 従って本発明との医薬組成物は、医薬分野で使用されるゲル化剤の含水ゲルに結晶状態のカンデサルタンシレキセチルを担持させてなる医薬組成物である。 Therefore, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is a pharmaceutical composition in which candesartan cilexetil in a crystalline state is supported on a hydrogel of a gelling agent used in the pharmaceutical field.
 本発明の医薬組成物は、常法の製剤化技術により錠剤、カプセル剤、顆粒剤、散剤、経口ゼリー剤等の固形製剤とすることができる。特に、粒子状製剤、カプセル製剤、多層カプセル製剤とすることが望ましい。粒子状製剤とは、医薬組成物を医薬組成物と相溶性のない冷却媒体に滴下し、固化することにより製した固形製剤である。カプセル製剤とは、医薬組成物をカプセルに充てん又はカプセル皮膜で被包成形する方法や、医薬組成物をカプセル皮膜として用いる方法により製した固形製剤である。多層カプセル製剤とは、医薬組成物を少なくとも三重以上の順次増大する同心円状の多重ノズルを用い、最外層より滴下される溶液と相溶性のない冷却媒体に滴下し、固化することによって製した固形製剤である。 The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be made into solid preparations such as tablets, capsules, granules, powders, oral jelly preparations and the like by conventional formulation techniques. In particular, a particulate preparation, a capsule preparation, and a multilayer capsule preparation are desirable. The particulate preparation is a solid preparation produced by dropping a pharmaceutical composition onto a cooling medium that is not compatible with the pharmaceutical composition and solidifying. The capsule preparation is a solid preparation produced by filling a pharmaceutical composition into a capsule or encapsulating with a capsule film, or using the pharmaceutical composition as a capsule film. Multi-layer capsule formulation is a solid product produced by dripping and solidifying a pharmaceutical composition at least triple or more concentrically increasing multiple concentric nozzles in a cooling medium incompatible with the solution dripped from the outermost layer. It is a formulation.
 カンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させた医薬組成物を粒子状製剤若しくはカプセル製剤、多層カプセル製剤とした場合、製造工程中に圧力、摩擦、熱等の負荷がかからないため、製造工程においても安定性が保たれた製剤を提供することが可能である。また、本発明の医薬組成物はカンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させているため、含量均一性が高い製剤を提供することができる。さらに、本発明の医薬組成物を用いて調製した固形製剤は、カンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させる工程と製剤化工程のみからなり、極めて簡単な製造工程で製剤を提供することができる。 When a pharmaceutical composition in which candesartan cilexetil is uniformly dispersed is made into a particulate formulation, capsule formulation or multi-layer capsule formulation, there is no pressure, friction, heat, etc. during the production process, so it is also stable in the production process. Can be provided. In addition, since the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention uniformly disperses candesartan cilexetil, it is possible to provide a preparation with high content uniformity. Furthermore, the solid preparation prepared using the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention comprises only a step of uniformly dispersing candesartan cilexetil and a preparation step, and can provide a preparation with a very simple manufacturing process.
 本発明の医薬組成物は血圧降下剤もしくは高脂血症用剤に分類される配合成分を配合することが可能である。配合成分はカンデサルタンシレキセチルを含む医薬組成物中に含有することができる。また、カンデサルタンシレキセチルと一緒に配合すると安定性が低下する場合や、配合成分が液体・半固形成分である場合など、一緒に配合することが難しい場合は、カプセル製剤若しくは多層カプセル製剤などとし、カンデサルタンシレキセチルと配合成分とを同一の製剤中に別々に配合することもできる。これにより安定性に優れた配合剤を提供することが可能となる。 The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be blended with ingredients classified as antihypertensive agents or hyperlipidemia agents. The compounding component can be contained in a pharmaceutical composition containing candesartan cilexetil. When it is difficult to mix together, such as when stability is reduced when blended with candesartan cilexetil, or when the blended component is a liquid / semi-solid component, the capsule formulation or multilayer capsule formulation should be used. In addition, candesartan cilexetil and the blending component can be blended separately in the same preparation. This makes it possible to provide a compounding agent having excellent stability.
 本発明により、カンデサルタンシレキセチル原体よりも高い溶出率が得られる。これは、ゲル化剤を含む担体にカンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させることにより、カンデサルタンシレキセチルの濡れ性を大幅に改善させたためである。また、カンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させたことにより、溶出のバラツキが軽減され、安定した溶出率を有する。 According to the present invention, a higher elution rate than that of candesartan cilexetil drug substance can be obtained. This is because the wettability of candesartan cilexetil was greatly improved by uniformly dispersing candesartan cilexetil in a carrier containing a gelling agent. In addition, by uniformly dispersing candesartan cilexetil, variation in elution is reduced and a stable elution rate is obtained.
 カンデサルタンシレキセチルは熱や圧力、摩擦等に起因する結晶の歪みにより不安定化することが知られているが、カンデサルタンシレキセチルをゲル化剤を含む担体に結晶状態のまま均一に分散させることにより製剤中での安定性が確保され、貯蔵安定性も確保される。 Candesartan cilexetil is known to be destabilized by crystal distortion caused by heat, pressure, friction, etc., but candesartan cilexetil is uniformly dispersed in a crystalline state in a carrier containing a gelling agent. Thus, stability in the preparation is ensured, and storage stability is also ensured.

 本発明の医薬組成物の製造は、使用するゲル化剤の含水ゾルをあらかじめ調製し、これに結晶状態のカンデサルタンシレキセチルを担持させる工程から出発するのが便利である。その際グリセリンのような可塑剤を含む各種添加剤もゲル化剤と共に水に溶解し、添加剤を含んでいる含水ゾルを調製し、これにカンデサルタンシレキセチルを均一に分散させる。カンデサルタンシレキセチルを担持させた含水ゾルはその後粒子状製剤、カプセル製剤、多層カプセル製剤、カプセル皮膜などの経口投与製剤に加工することができる。 For the production of the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, it is convenient to start from the step of preparing a hydrous sol of the gelling agent to be used in advance and supporting candesartan cilexetil in the crystalline state. At that time, various additives including a plasticizer such as glycerin are also dissolved in water together with the gelling agent to prepare a hydrous sol containing the additive, and candesartan cilexetil is uniformly dispersed therein. The hydrous sol loaded with candesartan cilexetil can then be processed into oral dosage formulations such as particulate formulations, capsule formulations, multilayer capsule formulations, capsule coatings and the like.

 含水ゲルに結晶状態のカンデサルタンシレキセチルを担持させてなる本発明の医薬組成物(以下単に「本発明の医薬組成物」という。)は、常法の製剤化技術により、錠剤、カプセル剤、顆粒剤、散剤、経口ゼリー剤等の固形製剤となることができる。 The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as “the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention”) in which candesartan cilexetil in a crystalline state is supported on a water-containing gel is prepared by a conventional formulation technique using tablets, capsules, It can be a solid preparation such as a granule, powder, or oral jelly.
 本発明の医薬組成物を医薬組成物と相溶性のない冷却媒体に滴下し、固化することにより粒子状製剤とすることも可能である。この方法により、粒単位の質量が極めて均一な製剤とすることができる。製剤の具体例を図1に示す。 It is also possible to form a particulate preparation by dripping the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention into a cooling medium incompatible with the pharmaceutical composition and solidifying it. By this method, it is possible to obtain a preparation having an extremely uniform mass per grain. A specific example of the formulation is shown in FIG.
 本発明の医薬組成物をカプセル内容物若しくはカプセル皮膜とすることによりカプセル製剤とすることもできる。カプセル製剤は、常法の軟カプセル剤又は硬カプセル剤の製造方法により製造することができる。軟カプセル剤は、シームレス方式、平板方式、ロータリーダイ方式のいずれかにより製造することができる。また硬カプセル剤は、顆粒、液体、ペースト状のカプセル内容物を充てんする手法により製造することができる。製剤の具体例を図2、図3に示す。 The capsule composition can also be made into a capsule preparation by making the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention into a capsule content or a capsule film. The capsule preparation can be produced by a conventional method for producing soft capsules or hard capsules. The soft capsule can be produced by any one of a seamless method, a flat plate method, and a rotary die method. Moreover, a hard capsule can be manufactured by the method of filling the content of a capsule of a granule, a liquid, and a paste. Specific examples of the preparation are shown in FIGS.
 本発明の医薬組成物を少なくとも三重以上の順次増大する同心円状の多重ノズルを用い、最外層より滴下される溶液と相溶性のない冷却媒体に滴下し、固化することにより多層カプセル製剤とすることも可能である。多層カプセル製剤は、多重ノズルの各ノズルから滴下されて形成された層により構成され、中心から第1層、第2層、第3層、(以降同様)とあらわされる。本発明の医薬組成物を含む多層カプセル製剤は、医薬組成物を多重ノズルのいずれかのノズルより滴下し形成される。また、この時いずれかのノズルより配合成分を滴下することにより配合製剤とすることもできる。製剤の具体例を図4に示す。 The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is dropped into a cooling medium that is incompatible with the solution dripped from the outermost layer using at least three or more concentrically increasing concentric multiple nozzles, and solidified to form a multilayer capsule formulation Is also possible. The multilayer capsule preparation is composed of layers formed by dropping from each nozzle of a multiple nozzle, and is expressed as a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, and the like (hereinafter the same) from the center. The multilayer capsule preparation containing the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention is formed by dropping the pharmaceutical composition from any one of the multiple nozzles. Moreover, it can also be set as a compounding formulation by dripping a compounding component from either nozzle at this time. A specific example of the formulation is shown in FIG.
 例えばゲル化剤がゼラチンの場合、熱水には良く溶け、35℃以下でゲル化する。従って薬物を均一に分散させるためにはゼラチン溶液のゲル化前に添加する必要がある。また薬物を担持させたゲルの粒子状製剤を望む場合には、薬物を分散させた熱いゼラチン溶液を植物油や中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドのような冷たい疎水性液体中へ液滴として滴下し、ゲル化させて製造することができる。ゼラチンを溶かすための熱水の量は必要最低限であることが望ましいが、一般に可塑剤として添加されるグリセリンと合計してゼラチン重量と同量~5倍が適当である。 For example, when the gelling agent is gelatin, it dissolves well in hot water and gels at 35 ° C or lower. Therefore, in order to uniformly disperse the drug, it is necessary to add it before gelation of the gelatin solution. In addition, when a drug-supported gel particulate formulation is desired, a hot gelatin solution in which the drug is dispersed is dropped as a droplet into a cold hydrophobic liquid such as vegetable oil or medium-chain fatty acid triglyceride to cause gelation. Can be manufactured. The amount of hot water for dissolving gelatin is desirably the minimum necessary, but generally, the total amount of glycerin added as a plasticizer is the same amount to 5 times the weight of gelatin.
 薬物を担持させたカプセル皮膜の場合も同じであるが、薬物の担持させたゲルよりなる粒子製剤は、スティッキングや微生物増殖等の防止のため、乾燥してゲルの水分を減らす必要がある。乾燥の方法は任意であるが、40℃以上の高温は避けた方が良い。可塑剤を含む場合、原料の乾燥ゼラチンの水分9~12%と同程度まで乾燥しても脆くなることはない。ゲルの乾燥の程度を測定する簡便な方法として、ゲルの水分活性を測定する方法がある。「水分活性」は、試料を入れた密閉容器内の平衡相対湿度の1/100と考えることができ、微生物が増殖に利用できる食品中の自由水の量を示す数値として利用されており、そのための測定器具が市販されている。本発明の場合、粒状製剤またはカプセル皮膜の乾燥の程度は水分活性が0.8を下廻れば十分である。 The same applies to a capsule film carrying a drug, but a particle preparation made of a gel carrying a drug needs to be dried to reduce the moisture of the gel in order to prevent sticking and microbial growth. Although the drying method is arbitrary, it is better to avoid a high temperature of 40 ° C. or higher. When a plasticizer is included, it does not become brittle even if it is dried to the same extent as the moisture content of 9 to 12% of the dry gelatin. As a simple method for measuring the degree of drying of the gel, there is a method for measuring the water activity of the gel. “Water activity” can be considered as 1/100 of the equilibrium relative humidity in the sealed container containing the sample, and is used as a numerical value indicating the amount of free water in the food that microorganisms can use for growth. These measuring instruments are commercially available. In the case of the present invention, the degree of drying of the granular preparation or capsule film is sufficient if the water activity is below 0.8.

 配合成分はカンデサルタンシレキセチルを含む医薬組成物に配合することも可能であり、また、カンデサルタンシレキセチルと一緒に配合すると安定性が低下する場合や、配合成分が液体・半固形成分である場合など、一緒に配合することが難しい場合は、カプセル製剤又は多層カプセル製剤などとしカンデサルタンシレキセチルと配合成分とを別々に配合することもできる。製剤の具体例を図5に示す。 The compounding component can be compounded in a pharmaceutical composition containing candesartan cilexetil. In addition, when the compounding component is combined with candesartan cilexetil, the stability decreases, or the compounding component is a liquid / semi-solid component. When it is difficult to blend together, for example, candesartan cilexetil and the blending component can be blended separately as a capsule preparation or a multilayer capsule preparation. A specific example of the formulation is shown in FIG.
 現在国内では、1錠あたりのカンデサルタンシレキセチル含有量が2、4、8、12mgの4規格の製剤が販売されている。しかしながら、同一製剤に対して複数の規格が存在する場合、投与の際に製剤の取り違いが起こりやすく薬物の過少投与または過量投与の危険がある。このような危険を回避するため、医薬組成物の薬物濃度を一定とした1種類の製剤のみを用意し、製剤の個数によって各規格に対応することが好ましい。 Currently, 4 standard preparations with candesartan cilexetil content of 2, 4, 8, 12 mg per tablet are sold in Japan. However, when there are a plurality of standards for the same preparation, there is a risk of underdose or overdose of the drug because the preparation is likely to be mixed during administration. In order to avoid such a risk, it is preferable to prepare only one type of preparation with a constant drug concentration of the pharmaceutical composition, and to support each standard depending on the number of preparations.
 また、本発明の医薬組成物を用いて調製した固形製剤を1回投与量ごと分包包装することも可能である。カンデサルタンシレキセチルは2mg~12mgの間で細かい投与量の調節が行われているため、患者の1回投与量を分包化した製剤を提供することは服用量の間違いの防止や、服用しやすさの観点からも利点となる。包装形態については特に限定されないが、服用しやすさを考慮した包装形態が望ましく、スティック形状などが好ましい。 It is also possible to package and package a solid preparation prepared using the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention for each single dose. Since candesartan cilexetil is finely adjusted between 2 mg and 12 mg, providing a preparation that divides the single dose of the patient prevents mistakes in dosage and This is also an advantage from the viewpoint of ease. The packaging form is not particularly limited, but a packaging form considering ease of taking is desirable, and a stick shape or the like is preferred.
 以下に試験例および実施例により、本発明を例証する。これらにおいて、特記しない限り、部および%は重量基準による。 Hereinafter, the present invention is illustrated by test examples and examples. In these, unless otherwise indicated, parts and percentages are based on weight.
