Description
TITLE OF THE INVENTION
"ORALLY DISINTEGRATING TABLETS OF ELTROMBOPAG"
PRIORITY
This patent application claims priority to Indian patent application number IN201641036370, filed on October 24, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to orally disintegrating pharmaceutical dosage forms of eltrombopag olamine and process for preparation thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Eltrombopag olamine is a small molecule thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonist disclosed in U.S. Patent Nos. 7,160,870, 7,452,874, 7,473,686 and 7,547,719.
Eltrombopag olamine is chemically described as 3'-{(2Z)-2-[l-(3,4- dimethylphenyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-l,5-dihydro-4H-pyrazol-4ylidene]hydrazino}-2'-hydroxy- 3-biphenylcarboxylic acid - 2-aminoethanol (1 :2), indicated for the treatment of thrombocytopenia.
U.S. Patent No. 8,052,994 discloses conventional tablet composition of eltrombopag olamine.
Oral administration in the form of a conventional tablet, pill or capsule constitutes a generally preferred route for administration of pharmaceuticals, since this route is generally convenient and acceptable to patients. Unfortunately, such compositions may be associated with certain disadvantages, particularly in the treatment of pediatric or geriatric patients, who have difficulty in swallowing or may dislike such compositions, or where administration of a conventional tablet, pill or capsule is not feasible. It is highly desirable, particularly in the treatment of acute conditions, that pharmaceutical compositions have a rapid and consistent
onset of action combined with sustained activity and good bioavailability. Rapid absorption can be achieved by parenteral injection but this is unacceptable to many patients, particularly if the drug is to be self-administered without direct medical supervision.
Preparations for oral administration normally come in the form of a tablet, capsule, granule, powder or solution. However, since a solid preparation need to be swallowed with some water, the elders, infants and patients who have difficulty in swallowing, prefer dosage forms such as a liquid preparation or a rapidly disintegrating tablet which easily disintegrates by the action of saliva.
Although certain liquid dosage forms may be suitable for the elders, infants or patients who have difficulty in swallowing, they have shortcomings such as difficulty in handling, especially in measuring an accurate dosage, and in that they are not suitable for drugs which are unstable in a moist environment.
Orally disintegrating solid dosage forms have significant advantages over other dosage forms, particularly for patients who cannot, or will not swallow a tablet or capsule. Moreover, solid dosage forms are far more convenient than liquids.
Accordingly, inventors of the present invention have developed orally disintegrating solid dosage forms comprising eltrombopag formulations for oral administration with good patient convenience and acceptance, especially for children or the elders. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising eltrombopag olamine as an active agent and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. One embodiment of this invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising 5wt% to 25wt% of eltrombopag olamine as an active ingredient and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
Another embodiment of this invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising 5wt% to 25wt% of eltrombopag olamine having a particle size distribution d90 from 1μ to 70μ and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients.
Another embodiment of this invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising eltrombopag olamine as an active agent and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from a diluent, a binder, a disintegrant, a surfactant, a glidant, a lubricant, a sweetener, a flavoring agent and combinations thereof.
Another embodiment of this invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form, in the form of orally disintegrating tablet which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising 5wt% to 25wt% of eltrombopag olamine having a particle size distribution d90 from 1μ to 70μ and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients selected from a diluent, a binder, a disintegrant, a surfactant, a glidant, a lubricant, a sweetener, a flavoring agent and combinations thereof, wherein the tablet disintegrates within 180 seconds.
Another embodiment of the present invention relates to pharmaceutical dosage form of eltrombopag olamine which disintegrates rapidly in the mouth, comprising eltrombopag olamine as an active agent, a super disintegrant, a sweetener and optionally a diluent, a binder, a surfactant, a glidant, a lubricant and a flavoring agent.
