Definitions
- Thyroxine active drugs are known for both therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of thyroid disorders.
- levothyroxine sodium is prescribed for thyroid hormone replacement therapy in cases of reduced or absent thyroid function in, for example, ailments such as myxedema, cretinism and obesity.
- Levothyroxine sodium is quite unstable, hygroscopic, and degrades rapidly when subjected to high humidity, light, or high temperature. See, for example, Won, Pharm. Res, 9(1):131-137, 1992.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,204 issued July 6, 1993, to Chen, et al, discloses a complex of levothyroxine sodium and a cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone or Poloxamer.
- the formulation may be prepared by dissolving the drug complex in a polar organic solvent, adding a cellulose carrier to the liquid, and drying the resulting mixture to obtain a complex of levothyroxine sodium and polyvinylpyrrolidone or Poloxamer adsorbed on the cellulose carrier.
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising thyroxine, acacia, and an antioxidant selected from propyl gallate, butylated hydroxyanisol, and butylated hydroxytoluene is disclosed.
- the pharmaceutical composition has an improved shelf life.
- the composition additionally comprises sucrose, microcrystalline cellulose, and mannitol.
- the pharmaceutical composition may be used for treating thyroid disorders by orally administering the composition to a patient in need thereof.
- a pharmaceutical composition comprising thyroxine, acacia, and an antioxidant selected from propyl gallate, butylated hydroxyanisol, and butylated hydroxytoluene is disclosed.
- the pharmaceutical composition has an improved shelf life. Because the shelf life of thyroxine is improved, the dosage of thyroxine is maintained at a predictable level for a longer period of time.
- the composition additionally comprises sucrose, microcrystalline cellulose, and mannitol.
- thyroxine is understood to encompass levothyroxine (L-thyroxine),
- levothyroxine sodium and other thyroid hormone medications of the general formula:
- Ri and R 3 may be the same or different and are selected from hydrogen; halogen; alkyl; aryl; cycloalkyl; heterocycloalkyl; amide; alcohol; acid; ester; ether; acyl; alkenyl; and alkynyl; wherein R 2
- R4 and R 5 may be the same or different and are selected from hydrogen; halogen; alkyl; aryl; cycloalkyl; heterocycloalkyl; amide; alcohol; acid; ester; ether; acyl; alkenyl; and alkynyl.
- the thyroxine can be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an organic salt, an inorganic salt, or a hydrate.
- Liothyronine is an example of a drug encompassed by the above-mentioned general formula.
- Formulations of thyroxine with greatly increased resistance to degradation can be produced by providing excipients which reduce or eliminate degradation of the active substance.
- excipients which reduce or eliminate degradation of the active substance.
- the prior art indicates that reactions between levothyroxine sodium and certain carbohydrate, monosaccharide, or disaccharide excipients is responsible for the poor stability of the drug, the described formulation achieves surprisingly stable thyroxine dosage forms even when these previously disfavored excipients are included. Additionally, in some embodiments, formulations are maintained at a pH of less than about 10.
- Stabilized pharmaceutical compositions may be produced by blending thyroxine with acacia and an antioxidant selected from propyl gallate, butylated hydroxyanisol, and butylated hydroxytoluene to form a granulation intermediate. Addition of any additional pharmaceutical excipients, diluents, or granulation aids is optional. Generally, further pharmaceutical excipients may optionally be added to produce final dosage forms such as tablets or capsules.
- Acacia is a natural gum also known as gum arabic or gum acacia. It is a mixture of glycoproteins and polysaccharides, and acts as a binder.
- the acacia is able to be dissolved in water relatively fast, such as an instant soluble or spray dried grade.
- the pharmaceutical composition comprises from about 0.1% to about 10% acacia, from about 0.25% to about 2.5%, from about 0.4% to about 2.0%, or from about 1.0% to about 2.0%.
- the pharmaceutical composition comprises an antioxidant selected from propyl gallate, butylated hydroxyanisol, and butylated hydroxytoluene.
