Description

ソフトカプセル剤Soft capsule
 本発明は、ナルフラフィン又はその酸付加塩を含有するソフトカプセル剤に関する。 The present invention relates to a soft capsule containing nalflaphine or an acid addition salt thereof.
 ナルフラフィン(Nalfurafine)は、選択的オピオイドκ受容体作動薬として、オピオイドシステムが関与する中枢性の痒みに対して強力な止痒作用を示す(特許文献1)。そして、ナルフラフィン塩酸塩を含有したソフトカプセル剤が経口そう痒症改善剤として上市されている。 Nalfurafine is a selective opioid κ receptor agonist and exhibits a strong antipruritic action against central itching involving the opioid system (Patent Document 1). And a soft capsule containing nalflaphine hydrochloride is marketed as an oral pruritus ameliorating agent.
 しかしながら、ナルフラフィンは、熱、光、酸素、水分に対して化学的に不安定であり、保存時には、低温保存、遮光、不活性ガス置換等の手段を講じる必要がある。 However, nalfurafine is chemically unstable to heat, light, oxygen, and moisture, and it is necessary to take measures such as low-temperature storage, light shielding, and inert gas replacement during storage.
 このため、ナルフラフィン又はその酸付加塩を含有するカプセル剤は、水及びポリエチレングリコールに、水溶性の酸化防止剤であるチオ硫酸ナトリウムを配合することにより、その安定性が確保されている(特許文献2)。 For this reason, the stability of capsules containing nalfurafine or an acid addition salt thereof is ensured by blending water and polyethylene glycol with sodium thiosulfate, which is a water-soluble antioxidant (Patent Literature). 2).
 しかしながら、親水性のポリエチレングリコールを基剤として使用すると、水分を起因としたソフトカプセル剤同士の付着及び凹みが起きやすくなる。そのため、ソフトカプセル剤の厳密な水分管理が必要となり、乾燥工程が煩雑となりやすい。また、親水性のポリエチレングリコールを基剤として使用しているために、ポリエチレングリコールに含有する水によってナルフラフィンの含量安定性の低下及び分解物の生成が考えられる。 However, when hydrophilic polyethylene glycol is used as a base, adhesion and dent of soft capsules due to moisture tend to occur. Therefore, strict moisture management of the soft capsule is required, and the drying process tends to be complicated. Further, since hydrophilic polyethylene glycol is used as a base, it is conceivable that the content stability of nalfurafine is reduced and decomposition products are generated by the water contained in polyethylene glycol.
