Description

STABLE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING AZILSARTAN
MEDOXOMIL
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical composition comprising azilsartan medoxomil, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a polymeric carrier selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, copovidone, or a mixture thereof, wherein the ratio of azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the polymeric carrier is from about 3: 1 to about 22: 1 based on weight and process for preparation thereof.
Background of the Invention
Azilsartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, which is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a prodrug, which is hydro lyzed to azilsartan in the gastrointestinal tract during absorption.
U.S. Publication No. 2010/0121071 discloses that azilsartan medoxomil poses formulation concerns as azilsartan medoxomil is unstable at neutral pH. Additionally, the solubility of azilsartan medoxomil is low at an acidic pH, where it shows a better stability profile. The publication further discloses a method of stabilizing a pharmaceutical preparation comprising azilsartan medoxomil by adding a pH control agent to the pharmaceutical preparation, wherein the pH control agent has a pH of about 2 to about 5.
Azilsartan medoxomil is also known to emit an unpleasant odor, which may be due to the gradual hydrolysis of the medoxomil ester.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention provides an alternative pharmaceutical composition comprising azilsartan medoxomil along with a polymeric carrier such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone or copovidone. These pharmaceutical compositions are prepared without the use of pH control agent(s) and water or any other aqueous solvent, and are found to be stable and have a reduced odor as compared to azilsartan medoxomil. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone acts as a solublizer and a stabilizer for azilsartan medoxomil. Detailed Description

Manufacturing Process:
1. Azilsartan kamedoxomil, mannitol, and micro-crystalline cellulose were blended.
2. Polyvinyl pyrrolidone was dissolved in isopropyl alcohol and methylene chloride to obtain a solution.
3. The blend of step 1 was granulated with the solution of step 2 to obtain granules.
4. The granules of step 3 were dried and blended with croscarmellose sodium.
5. The blend of step 4 was lubricated with magnesium stearate, and compressed to obtain suitable sized tablets.
Stability Testing
The compressed tablets obtained from Example 1, after being packed in HDPE bottles, were subjected to stability testing at 40°C/75% RH for three months. The samples were analyzed initially and later at three months for determining the amount of desethyl azilsartan and ethyl azilsartan generated. The method for determining desethyl azilsartan, ethyl azilsartan, and azilsartan medoxomil employed high performance liquid
chromatography (HPLC) using a Sunniest CI 8 , 5 μιη, 250 mm x 4.6 mm column, gradient mobile phase having acetate buffer pH 5.1, and a mixture of methanol and acetonitrile (organic phase) in the ratio of 55:45. The relative retention time (RRT) of desethyl azilsartan and ethyl azilsartan was 0.64 and 1.10, respectively.
The commercially marketed tablet (Edarbi® 80 mg), was also subjected to a similar stability testing protocol, and assessed for desethyl azilsartan and ethyl azilsartan. The comparative results of the stability study are shown in Table 1.
