Description

PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS COMPRISING ARIPIPRAZOLE
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising aripiprazole so as to be used in the treatment of irritability associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and autistic disorder. Aripiprazole was firstly disclosed in the application numbered EP367141. In said document, it was explained that aripiprazole is effective in the treatment of schizophrenia.
Figure imgf000002_0001
Aripiprazole is available in the form of 1 mg/ml oral solution and 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg and 30 mg tablets on the market. The excipients and their amounts used in the preparation of the formulations are important for the formulations comprising aripiprazole to be in desired weight and size and to have the optimum physical properties. Failure of the obtained tablets to reach the desired mass due to use of low doses of aripiprazole as active agent in the preparation of formulations comprising aripiprazole leads to the result that the final product does not have the desired tablet weight and size. Besides, there are also some difficulties experienced in combining the dry mixture of active agent and excipients in a desired form and providing a smooth flow of the mixture obtained by direct compacting while compressing the formulations comprising aripiprazole into tablets. Failure to enable smooth flow leads to failure to provide weight and dose uniformity in the tablets obtained. This case causes problems for the producer in the production and quality control phases; and also makes the patient unable to take same amounts of doses during the treatment due to the deficiency of weight and dose uniformity in the obtained dosage forms. As a result, these problems seen in the prior art leads to a decrease in the efficiency of the treatment.
As can be seen, there is still need for developing new approaches to obtain aripiprazole formulations with optimum physical characteristics in order to combine the active agent and the excipients effectively in the formulations that can be prepared by direct compacting; and to obtain smooth flow and provide weight uniformity enabling the product in tablet form to be in desired weight and sizes.
Surprisingly, the inventors have observed that the substances in the formulation are easily combined, weight uniformity is obtained by providing smooth flow and an effective treatment is obtained with the tablet forms having desired physical properties in the case that the formulations comprising aripiprazole and formulated in the form of orodispersible tablet comprise diluent in the range of 55 to 90% and have a ratio of diluent: disintegrant in the range of 1 :1 to 20:1. Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising aripiprazole. As a result of the studies conducted for this need, the inventors have observed that the substances in the formulation are easily combined, weight uniformity is obtained by providing smooth flow, and an effective treatment is obtained with the tablet forms having desired physical properties; in the case that the formulations comprising aripiprazole and formulated in the form of orodispersible tablet comprise diluent in the range of 55 to 90% and have a ratio of diluent: disintegrant in the range of 1 :1 to 20:1.
According to this, the first constituent of the invention is formulations comprising aripiprazole and formulated in the form of orodispersible tablet, characterized in that said formulation comprises diluent in the range of 55 to 90% and has a ratio of diluent: disintegrant in the range of 1 : 1 to 20: 1.

The inventors have also observed that the ratio of aripiprazol active agent to the diluent mixture by weight also has an effect on the solubility and the dispersion rate of the orodispersible aripiprazol tablet in the mouth. It has been seen that when the ratio of aripiprazol to the diluent mixture is in the range of 1 :15 to 5:1, preferably 1 :12 to 1 :1, more preferably 1:10 to 1 :2 by weight, a high solubility and rapid dispersion can be obtained.

The coloring agent that can be used in the formulations of the invention comprising aripiprazole, diluent and disintegrant can be selected from a group comprising carotenoids, chlorophyll and yellow iron oxide or combinations thereof.
A pharmaceutical formulation comprising aripiprazole according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, characterized in that the coloring agent used in it is preferably yellow iron oxide.
The % amount values given within the scope of the invention were calculated in proportion to the unit dosage weight.
In the formulations of the invention comprising aripiprazole, diluent and disintegrant, aripiprazole can be in the range of 0.1 to 75%, preferably in the range of 2 to 60%, more preferably in the range of 3 to 50% by weight.
It is known that the average particle size of aripiprazole active agent is an important criteria for obtaining homogeneous and highly dispersible tablet formulations comprising aripiprazole. The inventors have studied on the dispersion rate of the formulation by using aripiprazole having different average particle size. Based on the study, they have observed that when aripiprazol having average particle size in the range of 50-350 μπι, preferably 75- 300 μιη and more preferably 100- 250 μιη is used as active agent, the obtained aripiprazole tablets can disperse more rapidly and homogeneously.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising aripiprazol formulated in the form of orodispersible tablet form wherein aripiprazol having average particle size in the range of 50-350 μιη, preferably 75-300 μηι and more preferably 100- 250 μιη is used as active agent.
The formulations prepared according to the present invention can comprise diluent in the range of 10 to 99%, preferably in the range of 30 to 95%, more preferably in the range of 55 to 90% in proportion to the total weight of the unit dosage form.

One of the problems faced during the preparation of tablets comprising aripiprazole is that tablets do not disperse fast and effectively in the mouth after they are compressed. As a result of the studies conducted for this need, the inventors obtained aripiprazole tablets that can disperse faster and more effectively by the method of compacting twice.
According to this, another characteristic of the present invention is that compacting is performed twice during the production of the formulations and the obtained orodispersible aripiprazole tablets have the property of fast dispersibility.
The production method for the preparation of pharmaceutical formulations of the invention comprises the following steps:
• Mixing the active agent aripiprazole with diluent, disintegrant, coloring agent, sweetener and flavoring agent; and sieving this mixture
• Adding lubricant into the mixture and mixing it again
• Compacting the obtained mixture once and sieving it
• Compacting the mixture for the second time and sieving it again
• And compressing the final mixture obtained into tablets.
The pharmaceutical formulation of the invention can be used in the treatment of irritability associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depression and autistic disorder.
