Description

SYNERGIC COMPOSITIONS
The present invention relates to combinations comprising nateglinide and metformin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; use of said combinations in treatment of type 2 diabetes and pharmaceutical combinations comprising these. Nateglinidine, chemical name of which is N-(4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl)-D-phenylalanine, is a molecule belonging to meglitinide class. It was first disclosed in the patent numbered EP0196222. It is explained in said document that nateglinidine is effective in its use as a hypoglycemic agent in diabetic organisms and in lowering blood sugar and use in the treatment of type-2 diabetes.

Formula 1 : Nateglinide
On the market, nateglinide can be found in film tablet forms of 60, 120 and 180 mg.
Metformin, chemical name of which is N,N-dimethylimidodicarbonimidic diamide, is a molecule belonging to biguanide class. It was first disclosed in the application numbered US3174901. It is known that metformin is especially effective in the treatment of type-2 diabetic patients who are overweight and obese but have healthy kidney functions. It is also explained in different sources that this active substance can also be used in the treatment of diseases caused by insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Formula 2: Metformin On the market, metformin can be found in metformin hydrochloride form of 500 mg, 750 mg and 1000 mg film tablet and prolonged-release tablets.
Surprisingly, it has been seen that an unexpected therapeutic benefit, especially synergistic therapeutic benefit, can be obtained in the treatment of type-2 diabetes by combination therapy where nateglinide and metformin hydrochloride are used. For instance, it is possible to lower the dosages required for the desired therapeutic effect in the combination of nateglinide and metformin hydrochloride with use of nateglinide and metformin hydrochloride in comparison to treatments in which only nateglinide or metformin hydrochloride is used; therefore, to alleviate undesired side effects. From a different aspect, the pharmaceutical composition in which nateglinide or metformin hydrochloride are used together or simultaneously presents more therapeutic benefit compared to the compositions where these two agents are used separately. In another aspect, combined use of nateglinide and metformin hydrochloride provides that the therapeutic effect is seen in a shorter time and the effect is stronger compared to separate use of these two active substances. In this way, it is possible to provide a more effective treatment for patients. Surprisingly, all these positive effects are not only seen in the combinations where these two active substances are given sequentially but also seen when both active substances are given simultaneously in a single dosage form or in independent dosage forms. High therapeutic benefit can also be observed as a longer therapeutic effect.

• Using any of the abovementioned methods separately for active substance compositions and combining the obtained formulations or storing them in different dosage forms in the case that nateglinide and metformin hydrochloride are prepared in two separate formulations.
The obtained pharmaceutical composition or compositions can be converted into any dosage form stated above. In the case that they are in tablet form, the obtained tablets can be treated with film coating agents such as sugar-based coating agents, water-soluble film coating agents, enteric coating agents, delayed-release coating agents or coating compositions comprising any combination thereof.
Saccharose can be used alone or optionally along with any of the agents such as talc, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulphate, gelatin, gum arabic, polyvinylpyrrolidone and pullulan or any combination thereof as a sugar-based coating agent.
Water-soluble coating agent can be selected from a group comprising cellulose derivatives such as hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl hydroxyethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose; synthetic polymers like polyvinyl acetal diethyl amino acetate, aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymers and polyvinylpyrrolidone and polysaccharides like pullulan or a combination thereof.
Enteric coating agent can be selected from a group comprising cellulose derivatives such as hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose phthalate, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate, carboxymethyl ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate phthalate; acrylic acid derivatives like methacrylic acid copolymer L, methacrylic acid copolymer LD and methacrylic acid copolymer S and natural substances like shellac or a combination thereof.
Delayed-release coating agent can be selected from a group comprising cellulose derivatives such as ethyl cellulose; acrylic acid derivatives such as aminoalkyl methacrylate copolymer S, ethyl acrylate methyl methacrylate copolymer emulsion or a combination thereof.
Pharmaceutical composition of the invention can be used for treating and preventing type-2 diabetes.
The examples below are given in order to explain the formulations of the present invention; yet, the invention cannot be limited to these examples.
EXAMPLE 1 : Film Tablet Formulation Comprising Nateglinide and Metformin
Figure imgf000008_0001
Nateglinide, metformin hydrochloride and the diluent are mixed. They are granulated with a granulation solution comprising a binder. The obtained granules are dried and mixed with the disintegrant and other excipients. The final composition obtained is compressed in tablet compression machine and coated with coating agent. EXAMPLE 2: Effervescent Tablet Formulation Comprising Nateglinide and Metformin
Figure imgf000009_0001
Nateglinide, metformin hydrochloride and the effervescent couple are mixed. They are granulated with a granulation solution comprising binder. The obtained granules are dried and mixed with disintegrant and other excipients. The final mixture obtained is compressed in tablet compression machine.
EXAMPLE 3: Bilayer Tablet Formulation Comprising Nateglinide and Metformin
Figure imgf000009_0002
Nateglinide, disintegrant, diluent and the other excipients are mixed, the first mixture is obtained by adding the lubricant into the mixture.
Metformin hydrochloride and the diluent are mixed. The obtained mixture is granulated with a granulation solution comprising binder. The obtained granules are dried and the second mixture is obtained by mixing them with the glidant and the other excipients.
Both the mixtures obtained are fed to tablet compression machine and compressed in bilayer tablet form.
