Abstract

Provided is a novel oral preparation (specifically, an intraoral quickly-disintegrating preparation) that allows a bitter-tasting drug such as silodosin, which has a very strong bitter taste, to be taken without an uncomfortable feeling and even without water, and that has solubility sufficient for reproducing a blood concentration effective for treating dysuria accompanying benign prostatic hyperplasia. The present invention pertains to masking particles and a novel oral preparation containing said masking particles. The masking particles are obtained by granulating or coating drug particles containing a bitter-tasting drug (e.g. silodosin) with a coating agent containing a methyl methacrylate-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate copolymer, wherein the content of said copolymer is 80-400 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the bitter-tasting drug (e.g. silodosin).

Description

苦味を有する薬剤の苦味をマスキングした経口投与製剤Orally administered preparations masking the bitterness of drugs with bitterness
 本発明は、苦味を有する薬物、例えば、極めて苦味の強い薬剤であるシロドシンを、異物感なく水なしでも服用でき、かつ前立腺肥大症に伴う排尿障害等の治療に有効な血中濃度を再現できる溶出性を備えた、新規な経口投与製剤(特には口腔内速崩壊製剤)に関するものである。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can reproduce a drug concentration having a bitter taste, for example, silodosin, which is a very bitter-tasting drug, without any foreign body feeling and without water, and can reproduce blood concentration effective for treating urination disorders associated with prostatic hypertrophy. The present invention relates to a novel preparation for oral administration (especially a rapidly disintegrating preparation in the oral cavity) having dissolution properties.
 苦味を有する薬剤、例えば、シロドシンは、選択的な尿道平滑筋収縮抑制作用を有し、強力な血圧低下作用を惹起することのない排尿障害治療薬であり(例えば、特許文献1参照)、前立腺肥大症に伴う排尿障害の治療剤として、広く用いられている。シロドシンを含有する医薬品製剤としては、カプセル剤及び錠剤(例えば、特許文献2及び3参照)が使用されているが、これらの製剤は、水と共に服用することが必要である。近年、高齢者などの嚥下困難な患者等でも服用し易い製剤として、水なしでも簡便に服用できる製剤(特には口腔内速崩壊製剤)の開発が求められている。 A drug having a bitter taste, such as silodosin, is a therapeutic agent for dysuria that has a selective urethral smooth muscle contraction inhibitory action and does not cause a strong blood pressure lowering action (see, for example, Patent Document 1), and prostate Widely used as a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with hypertrophy. As pharmaceutical preparations containing silodosin, capsules and tablets (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3) are used, but these preparations need to be taken with water. In recent years, there has been a demand for the development of a preparation (especially an oral rapid disintegration preparation) that can be easily taken without water as a preparation that can be easily taken even by patients who have difficulty swallowing such as elderly people.
 薬物が苦味を有する場合、その苦味を抑制する方法としては、薬物自体の化学修飾や包接化といった化学的マスキング手法(例えば、特許文献4参照)、甘味剤、香料などを添加することによる官能的マスキング手法(例えば、特許文献5及び非特許文献1参照)、胃溶性高分子又は腸溶性高分子等のコーティング剤により薬物をコーティングする物理的マスキング手法(例えば、特許文献6~9参照)等が知られている(例えば、非特許文献2参照)。 When the drug has a bitter taste, as a method for suppressing the bitter taste, a chemical masking method such as chemical modification or inclusion of the drug itself (see, for example, Patent Document 4), a functional function by adding a sweetener, a fragrance, etc. Masking method (for example, see Patent Document 5 and Non-Patent Document 1), physical masking method for coating a drug with a coating agent such as gastric polymer or enteric polymer (for example, see Patent Documents 6 to 9), etc. Is known (see, for example, Non-Patent Document 2).
 しかしながら、苦味の強い薬剤の場合、官能的マスキング手法では苦味を十分抑制できない場合があり、物理的マスキング手法ではコーティング剤の被覆量を多くしなければならず、それにより、消化管内での薬物の溶出性が低下するという問題が生じるなど、苦味の抑制と種々の液性における溶出性との両立が困難であった。 However, in the case of drugs with a strong bitter taste, the bitterness may not be sufficiently suppressed by the sensory masking method, and the physical masking method has to increase the coating amount of the coating agent. It has been difficult to achieve both suppression of bitterness and elution in various liquid properties, such as the problem of reduced elution.
 さらに、極めて苦味の強い薬剤を口腔内速崩壊製剤とするためには、上記に加えて、苦味を感じ始めるまでの時間を口腔内崩壊時間よりも長くする必要があり、かかる苦味抑制時間と溶出性との両立が困難であった。 Furthermore, in order to make a drug with a very strong bitter taste into a rapidly disintegrating preparation in the oral cavity, in addition to the above, it is necessary to make the time until the bitter taste starts to be longer than the oral disintegration time. It was difficult to achieve compatibility with sex.

 しかしながら、いずれの文献にも、シロドシンの苦味抑制と、種々の液性における溶出性を両立した水なしでも服用できる製剤は記載されておらず、新たな製剤開発が望まれていた。 However, none of the documents describes a preparation that can be taken without water that achieves both the suppression of the bitter taste of silodosin and the dissolution properties of various liquids, and the development of a new preparation has been desired.

 本発明は、苦味を有する薬剤、例えば、極めて苦味の強い薬剤であるシロドシンを、異物感なく水なしでも服用でき、かつ前立腺肥大症に伴う排尿障害等の治療に有効な血中濃度を再現できる溶出性を備えた、新規な経口投与製剤(特には口腔内速崩壊製剤)を提供することを課題とする。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can reproduce a drug concentration having a bitter taste, for example, silodosin, which is a very bitter taste drug, without water and without water, and can reproduce a blood concentration effective for treating urination disorder associated with prostatic hypertrophy. It is an object of the present invention to provide a novel preparation for oral administration (particularly an intraoral rapidly disintegrating preparation) having dissolution properties.
 本発明の経口投与製剤を作製する上において、苦味を有する薬剤の中でも、特にシロドシンは極めて強い苦味を有する上、針状結晶性の物質であるため、苦味を抑制するために多くのコーティング剤を必要とし、それにより溶出性が低下したり、水なしで服用した際に異物感が残るなどの問題がある。また、シロドシンは、医薬品添加物として汎用される賦形剤等により分解しやすい化学的性質を有しており、シロドシンの特性上、様々な克服すべき点があった。更に、前立腺肥大症に伴う排尿障害の治療剤として、既に使用されているシロドシン製剤が有効性を発揮する血中濃度を、適切に再現できる製剤でなければならない。 Among the drugs having a bitter taste in producing the preparation for oral administration of the present invention, silodosin has a particularly strong bitter taste, and since it is a needle-like crystalline substance, many coating agents are used to suppress the bitter taste. Necessary, and thus there are problems such as a decrease in elution and a feeling of foreign matter remaining when taken without water. In addition, silodosin has chemical properties that are easily degraded by excipients and the like that are widely used as pharmaceutical additives, and there are various points to be overcome due to the characteristics of silodosin. Furthermore, as a therapeutic agent for dysuria associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia, it must be a preparation that can appropriately reproduce the blood concentration at which the already used silodosin preparations are effective.
 本発明者らは、これらの点を克服しつつ上記課題を解決すべく、鋭意検討を行った。例えば、ココアパウダーや乳酸カルシウムなどによる官能的マスキング手法、カラギーナンなどによる化学的マスキング手法では、シロドシンの強烈な苦味をマスキングすることができなかった。また、一般に物理的マスキング手法に用いられる腸溶性基剤(腸溶性高分子)は、シロドシンと配合変化を起こし、使用できないことが判明した。更に種々検討を行った結果、本発明のマスキング粒子を用いることにより、驚くべきことに、強い苦味を感じることなく水なしでも服用でき、所望の溶出特性によりヒトでの有効な血中濃度を実現し得ること等、極めて望ましい性能を発揮する経口投与製剤が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成した。さらに、本発明のマスキング粒子を用いた口腔内速崩壊製剤が、強い苦味を感じることなく、水なしでも口腔内で速やかに崩壊し、所望の溶出特性を有することを見出し、本発明を完成した。 The present inventors have intensively studied to solve the above problems while overcoming these points. For example, sensory masking techniques such as cocoa powder and calcium lactate, and chemical masking techniques such as carrageenan could not mask the intense bitter taste of silodosin. Moreover, it became clear that the enteric base (enteric polymer) generally used for the physical masking technique cannot be used due to a change in formulation with silodosin. As a result of various investigations, by using the masking particles of the present invention, it is surprisingly possible to take it without water without feeling a strong bitter taste, and achieve an effective blood concentration in humans with desired elution characteristics The present invention has been completed by finding that an oral administration preparation exhibiting extremely desirable performance can be obtained. Further, the present invention was completed by finding that the rapidly disintegrating preparation in the oral cavity using the masking particles of the present invention rapidly disintegrates in the oral cavity without water without feeling a strong bitter taste and has desired dissolution characteristics. .

Therefore, even without water, it can be used for an orally-administered preparation that can be taken without a foreign body feeling. In addition, the orally administered preparation of the present invention suppresses the bitterness peculiar to silodosin and has the same rapid dissolution property as a commercially available silodosin tablet (Urief (registered trademark) tablet), so it can be taken without any foreign body feeling even without water. It is useful as a silodosin-containing preparation. In addition to the above, the masking particle of the present invention has a long time until it begins to feel a bitter taste. Therefore, by using the technique of an orally disintegrating tablet, an excellent oral disintegrating preparation can be provided.
