  • the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is a preparation referred to as a so-called self-emulsifying preparation, and an active ingredient is contained in a composition having a self-emulsifying ability, and this composition is brought into contact with water or digestive fluid. Only by itself, the composition containing the active ingredient is devised so as to be emulsified and dispersed.

  • the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B) which is a surfactant is larger than the content of triglyceride (C) which is a lipid, that is, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B)
  • the content of the hydrophilic solvent (D) is 10 parts by mass or more with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B), triglyceride (C), and hydrophilic solvent (D). Since the entire pharmaceutical composition exhibits appropriate hydrophilicity, the time required for touching and emulsifying and dispersing the digestive fluid (i.e., the time required for dispersion) is shortened, that is, the oral pharmaceutical composition is in the digestive fluid. It is presumed that they can be emulsified and dispersed spontaneously and rapidly.

  • the lipids form the oil phase of the emulsion after self-emulsification and can retain the active ingredient. Since monoglycerides and diglycerides are more soluble in water than triglycerides, they are likely to be distributed from the oil phase of the emulsion after self-emulsification into the digestive fluid which is the water phase, and it is thought that the oil phase of the emulsion decreases over time.

  • it can not stay in the emulsion when the oil phase of the emulsion decreases, and it is deposited after being distributed in the digestive fluid which is the aqueous phase.
  • monoglycerides and diglycerides have less acyl groups near the ester bond and less steric hindrance than triglycerides, so the active centers of lipases, which are digestive enzymes, easily come close to one another and are easily degraded by lipases.

It is different from In a preparation having a higher content of triglycerides, which is lipid, relative to the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, which is a surfactant, dispersion of a fine emulsion in digestive fluid as in the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure It is speculated that particles can not be formed.

 上記の技術を適用した製剤(所謂、自己乳化型製剤)を経口投与した場合、有効成分は、乳化物(即ち、乳化した製剤)の油相中から水相である消化液中に分配した後、小腸の粘膜から吸収される。有効成分の水溶性が低い場合には、消化液中で分散している乳化物の粒子径が小さいほど、有効成分が効率的に消化液中に分配し、小腸の粘膜からの吸収に対し、有利に働く。
 また、乳化物の分散粒子が消化液中で安定であるほど、有効成分の吸収に有利である。ここで、「乳化物の分散粒子が消化液中で安定である」ことは、消化液中で分散している乳化物の粒子が、物理的に安定であることのみならず、製剤として安定であること、即ち、消化液中に含まれる消化酵素による消化に対して安定であることを含む。

When a preparation to which the above technology is applied (so-called self-emulsifying preparation) is orally administered, the active ingredient is distributed from the oil phase of the emulsion (ie, the emulsified preparation) into the digestive fluid which is the water phase , Is absorbed from the mucosa of the small intestine. When the water solubility of the active ingredient is low, the smaller the particle size of the emulsion dispersed in the digestive fluid, the more efficiently the active ingredient is distributed in the digestive fluid and the absorption from the mucosa of the small intestine, Work in favor.
Also, the more stable the dispersed particles of the emulsion are in the digestive fluid, the more advantageous for absorption of the active ingredient. Here, "the dispersed particles of the emulsion are stable in the digestive fluid" means that the particles of the emulsion dispersed in the digestive fluid are not only physically stable but also stable as a preparation. Some things include being stable to digestion by the digestive enzymes contained in the digestive fluid.
From the above, it is desirable that the self-emulsifiable concentrate containing an active ingredient poorly soluble in water is emulsified in the digestive fluid, and then the emulsified emulsion is finely and stably dispersed in the digestive fluid.

[Oral pharmaceutical composition]
The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure has a saturated hydrocarbon group having 7 to 18 carbon atoms, and an active ingredient (A) having a log P of 6 to 9 which is a common logarithm of octanol / water partition coefficient And polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B), triglyceride (C) and hydrophilic solvent (D), and the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B) and the content of triglyceride (C) Weight ratio of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B): triglyceride content (C) = 3: 1 to 9: 1, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B), triglyceride (C) The content of the hydrophilic solvent (D) is 10 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of the hydrophilic solvent (D).
 本開示の経口医薬組成物は、消化液中で自発的かつ速やかに乳化物を形成し、その乳化物が消化液中で微細かつ安定に分散し得る。
 本開示の経口医薬組成物がこのような効果を奏し得る理由については明らかではないが、本発明者らは、以下のように推測している。但し、以下の理由は、本開示の経口医薬組成物を限定的に解釈するものではなく、一例として説明するものである。
The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure spontaneously and rapidly forms an emulsion in the digestive fluid, and the emulsion can be finely and stably dispersed in the digestive fluid.
Although it is not clear why the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure can produce such an effect, the present inventors speculate as follows. However, the following reasons are not to be interpreted as limiting the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, but to be described as an example.
 本開示の経口医薬組成物は、所謂、自己乳化型製剤と称される製剤であり、有効成分を、自己乳化能を有する組成物に含有させ、この組成物と水又は消化液とが接触するだけで、自然に有効成分を含有する組成物が乳化して分散するように工夫されたものである。
 自己乳化型製剤を経口投与すると、水に難溶性の有効成分は、乳化物(即ち、乳化した製剤)の油相中から水相である消化液中に分配した後、小腸の粘膜から吸収される。この場合、消化液中で分散している乳化物の粒子径が小さいほど、粒子の比表面積が大きくなり、有効成分が効率的に消化液中に分配するため、小腸の粘膜からの吸収に対し、有利に働く。また、乳化物の分散粒子が消化液中で安定であるほど、有効成分の吸収に有利である。
The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is a preparation referred to as a so-called self-emulsifying preparation, and an active ingredient is contained in a composition having a self-emulsifying ability, and this composition is brought into contact with water or digestive fluid. Only by itself, the composition containing the active ingredient is devised so as to be emulsified and dispersed.
When a self-emulsifying formulation is orally administered, the poorly water-soluble active ingredient is distributed from the oil phase of the emulsion (that is, the emulsified formulation) into the digestive fluid which is the water phase and then absorbed from the mucosa of the small intestine. Ru. In this case, the smaller the particle size of the emulsion dispersed in the digestive fluid, the larger the specific surface area of the particles, and the active ingredient is efficiently distributed in the digestive fluid, so absorption against the mucosa of the small intestine is more effective. Work in favor. Also, the more stable the dispersed particles of the emulsion are in the digestive fluid, the more advantageous for absorption of the active ingredient.
 本開示の経口医薬組成物では、炭素数が7以上18以下の飽和炭化水素基を有し、かつ、logPが6以上9以下である、水に難溶性の有効成分(A)と、界面活性剤であるポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)と、脂質であるトリグリセリド(C)と、親水性溶媒(D)と、を特定比率で含むことにより、消化液中での自発的かつ速やかな乳化、及び、乳化物の消化液中での微細かつ安定な分散を実現し得る。
 詳細には、界面活性剤であるポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)の含有量を、脂質であるトリグリセリド(C)の含有量よりも多く含む、即ち、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)の含有量と、トリグリセリド(C)の含有量との質量比が、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)の含有量:トリグリセリドの含有量(C)=3:1~9:1であることにより、経口医薬組成物が消化液中で速やかに乳化物を形成し、その乳化物が消化液中で微細に分散し得ると推測される。
 また、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)、トリグリセリド(C)、及び親水性溶媒(D)の合計100質量部に対する親水性溶媒(D)の含有量が10質量部以上であることにより、経口医薬組成物全体が適度な親水性を示すため、消化液に触れてから乳化して分散するまでに要する時間(即ち、分散所要時間)が短くなる、即ち、経口医薬組成物が、消化液中で自発的にかつ速やかに乳化して分散し得ると推測される。
 さらに、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)、トリグリセリド(C)、及び親水性溶媒(D)の合計100質量部に対して、親水性溶媒(D)の含有量が50質量部以下であることにより、相対的にポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油(B)及びトリグリセリド(C)の含有量が多くなるため、経口医薬組成物が消化液に触れた際に、微細な乳化物の分散粒子を形成し得ると推測される。
In the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, a water-insoluble active ingredient (A) which has a saturated hydrocarbon group having 7 to 18 carbon atoms and has a log P of 6 to 9 and a surfactant Volatile and hydrogenated hydrogenated castor oil (B), lipid triglyceride (C), and hydrophilic solvent (D) at a specific ratio to spontaneously and rapidly emulsify in digestive fluid And fine and stable dispersion of the emulsion in the digestive fluid.
Specifically, the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B) which is a surfactant is larger than the content of triglyceride (C) which is a lipid, that is, polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B) The mass ratio of the content to the content of triglyceride (C) is: content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B): content of triglyceride (C) = 3: 1 to 9: 1, It is speculated that the oral pharmaceutical composition will rapidly form an emulsion in the digestive fluid and that the emulsion may be finely dispersed in the digestive fluid.
In addition, the content of the hydrophilic solvent (D) is 10 parts by mass or more with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B), triglyceride (C), and hydrophilic solvent (D). Since the entire pharmaceutical composition exhibits appropriate hydrophilicity, the time required for touching and emulsifying and dispersing the digestive fluid (i.e., the time required for dispersion) is shortened, that is, the oral pharmaceutical composition is in the digestive fluid. It is presumed that they can be emulsified and dispersed spontaneously and rapidly.
Furthermore, the content of the hydrophilic solvent (D) is 50 parts by mass or less with respect to a total of 100 parts by mass of the polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B), the triglyceride (C), and the hydrophilic solvent (D) As the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil (B) and triglyceride (C) relatively increases due to the formation of fine emulsion dispersed particles when the oral pharmaceutical composition is in contact with the digestive fluid. It is guessed to get.
 本開示の経口医薬組成物に対し、特開2015-120700号公報に記載の製剤及び特開2016-74677号公報に記載の製剤は、脂質としてモノグリセリド及び/又はジグリセリドを含み、トリグリセリドを含んでいない。
 本発明者らは、トリグリセリドの代わりにモノグリセリドを含む製剤では、本開示の経口医薬組成物のように、消化液中で微細な乳化物の分散粒子を形成することができないこと、また、トリグリセリドの代わりにモノグリセリドを含む製剤により形成された乳化物は、本開示の経口医薬組成物により形成された乳化物のように、消化液中で安定に分散することができないことを確認している(例えば、後述の比較例16及び比較例17参照)。
 なお、トリグリセリドの代わりにモノグリセリドを含む製剤により形成された乳化物が、消化液中で安定に分散することができない理由については、以下のように推測される。
 自己乳化型製剤において、脂質は、自己乳化後の乳化物の油相を形成し、有効成分を保持し得る。モノグリセリド及びジグリセリドは、トリグリセリドに比べて水溶性が高いため、自己乳化後の乳化物の油相中から水相である消化液中へと分配しやすく、乳化物の油相が経時で減ると考えられる。有効成分(A)のような脂溶性が比較的高い有効成分の場合、乳化物の油相が減ると乳化物中に留まることができず、水相である消化液中に分配後、析出してしまうと推測される。また、モノグリセリド及びジグリセリドは、トリグリセリドに比べて、エステル結合近傍のアシル基が少なく、立体障害が少ないため、消化酵素であるリパーゼの活性中心が近接しやすく、リパーゼによる分解を受けやすい。モノグリセリド及びジグリセリドがリパーゼによる分解を受けると、水溶性が更に高くなり、自己乳化後の乳化物の油相中から水相である消化液中へとより分配しやすくなるため、乳化物の油相が更に減少し、有効成分を保持することができなくなると推測される。
In contrast to the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, the preparation described in JP-A-2015-120700 and the preparation described in JP-A-2016-74677 contain monoglycerides and / or diglycerides as lipids and do not contain triglycerides. .
The present inventors can not form dispersed particles of a fine emulsion in a digestive fluid, as in the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, in a preparation containing monoglyceride instead of triglyceride, and triglyceride It has been confirmed that emulsions formed by preparations containing monoglycerides instead can not be stably dispersed in the digestive fluid, as emulsions formed by oral pharmaceutical compositions of the present disclosure (e.g. (See Comparative Example 16 and Comparative Example 17 described later).
The reason why the emulsion formed by the preparation containing monoglyceride instead of triglyceride can not be stably dispersed in the digestive fluid is presumed as follows.
In self-emulsifying formulations, the lipids form the oil phase of the emulsion after self-emulsification and can retain the active ingredient. Since monoglycerides and diglycerides are more soluble in water than triglycerides, they are likely to be distributed from the oil phase of the emulsion after self-emulsification into the digestive fluid which is the water phase, and it is thought that the oil phase of the emulsion decreases over time. Be In the case of an active ingredient having a relatively high lipid solubility such as the active ingredient (A), it can not stay in the emulsion when the oil phase of the emulsion decreases, and it is deposited after being distributed in the digestive fluid which is the aqueous phase. It is presumed that In addition, monoglycerides and diglycerides have less acyl groups near the ester bond and less steric hindrance than triglycerides, so the active centers of lipases, which are digestive enzymes, easily come close to one another and are easily degraded by lipases. When monoglycerides and diglycerides are degraded by lipase, their water solubility is further enhanced, and they are more easily distributed in the oil phase of the emulsion after self-emulsification into the digestive fluid which is the water phase, so the oil phase of the emulsion Is further reduced, and it is presumed that the active ingredient can not be retained.
 特表2017-518294号公報に記載の製剤は、界面活性剤としてポリオキシル35ヒマシ油を含み、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油を含んでいない。
 本発明者らは、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油の代わりにポリオキシル35ヒマシ油を含む製剤により形成された乳化物は、本開示の経口医薬組成物により形成された乳化物のように、消化液中で安定に分散することができないことを確認している(例えば、後述の比較例19、比較例27、及び比較例35参照)。
 特表2013-516433号公報に記載の製剤は、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油とトリグリセリドとを含むが、ポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油よりもトリグリセリドを多く含んでいる点で、本開示の経口医薬組成物とは異なる。
 界面活性剤であるポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油の含有量に対し、脂質であるトリグリセリドの含有量が多い製剤では、本開示の経口医薬組成物のように、消化液中で微細な乳化物の分散粒子を形成することができないと推測される。
 特許第5313343号公報に記載の製剤は、有効成分であり、かつ、脂質であるイコサペント酸(EPA)等のω3多価不飽和脂肪酸のエチルエステルを含むが、有効成分とは別に脂質であるトリグリセリドを含んでいない点、及び界面活性剤であるポリオキシエチレン硬化ヒマシ油の含有量に対し、有効成分であり、かつ、脂質であるイコサペント酸(EPA)等のω3多価不飽和脂肪酸のエチルエステルの含有量が多い点で、本開示の経口医薬組成物とは異なる。
 したがって、特許第5313343号公報に記載の製剤では、本開示の経口医薬組成物のように、消化液中で微細な乳化物の分散粒子を形成することができないと推測される。
The preparation described in JP-A-2017-518294 contains polyoxyl 35 castor oil as a surfactant and does not contain polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil.
The inventors formed an emulsion formed by a preparation containing polyoxyl 35 castor oil instead of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil in a digestive fluid, as an emulsion formed by the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure. It has been confirmed that the dispersion can not be stably carried out (see, for example, Comparative Example 19, Comparative Example 27, and Comparative Example 35 described later).
Although the preparation described in JP-A-2013-516433 contains polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil and triglycerides, the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure contains more triglycerides than polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil. It is different from
In a preparation having a higher content of triglycerides, which is lipid, relative to the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil, which is a surfactant, dispersion of a fine emulsion in digestive fluid as in the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure It is speculated that particles can not be formed.
The preparation described in Japanese Patent No. 5313343 is an active ingredient, and contains ethyl ester of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acid such as icosapentonic acid (EPA) which is a lipid, but triglyceride which is a lipid separately from the active ingredient And the content of polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil which is a surfactant, and an ethyl ester of ω3 polyunsaturated fatty acid such as icosapentic acid (EPA) which is an active ingredient and which is a lipid It differs from the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure in that it has a high content of
Therefore, it is assumed that the preparation described in Patent No. 5313343 can not form dispersed particles of a fine emulsion in a digestive fluid as in the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure.

 以下、本開示の経口医薬組成物における各成分について詳細に説明する。 Hereinafter, each component in the oral pharmaceutical composition of this indication is demonstrated in detail.
<有効成分(A)>
 本開示の経口医薬組成物は、炭素数が7以上18以下の飽和炭化水素基を有し、かつ、オクタノール/水分配係数(所謂、水相中における溶質の濃度に対するオクタノール相中における溶質の濃度の割合)の常用対数であるlogPが6以上9以下の有効成分(A)を含む。
<Active ingredient (A)>
The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure has a saturated hydrocarbon group having a carbon number of 7 to 18 and an octanol / water partition coefficient (so-called concentration of solute in octanol phase relative to concentration of solute in aqueous phase) And the active ingredient (A) having a log P of 6 or more and 9 or less.
 有効成分(A)は、炭素数が7以上18以下の飽和炭化水素基を有し、炭素数が10以上16以下の飽和炭化水素基を有することが好ましい。
 炭素数が7以上18以下の飽和炭化水素基を有する有効成分(A)は、トリグリセリド(C)との親和性が良好であるため、自己乳化後、有効成分(A)が乳化物の油相に保持されやすい。
 また、有効成分(A)が有する飽和炭化水素基の炭素数が7以上であると、有効成分が小腸上皮にて吸収された後に、血管に加えてリンパ管にも移行することが期待できる。リンパ管への有効成分の移行は、リンパ管に薬物を送達させたい場合に加え、肝初回通過による有効成分の全身曝露量の低下を回避できる点で有効である。また、流速の遅いリンパ管に薬物を送達させることで、有効成分が全身循環血に移行するのを遅延させることができ、有効成分が持続的な作用を示すことが期待される。
 また、有効成分(A)が有する飽和炭化水素基の炭素数が18以下であると、製剤中での溶解性に優れる傾向がある。
 なお、炭素数が18を超える有効成分、及び/又は、不飽和炭化水素基を有する有効成分は、製剤中での溶解性に劣る傾向がある。
The active ingredient (A) preferably has a saturated hydrocarbon group having 7 to 18 carbon atoms and has a 10 to 16 carbon saturated hydrocarbon group.
The active ingredient (A) having a saturated hydrocarbon group having 7 or more and 18 or less carbon atoms has good affinity to triglyceride (C), so after self emulsification, the active ingredient (A) is the oil phase of the emulsion It is easy to be held by.
In addition, when the carbon number of the saturated hydrocarbon group of the active ingredient (A) is 7 or more, after the active ingredient is absorbed in the small intestine epithelium, it can be expected to be transferred to lymphatic vessels in addition to blood vessels. The transfer of the active ingredient to the lymphatic vessels is effective in addition to the case where it is desired to deliver the drug to the lymphatic vessels, the reduction of the systemic exposure of the active ingredient by first pass of the liver can be avoided. In addition, the drug can be delivered to a low flow rate lymphatic vessel to delay the transfer of the active ingredient to systemic circulation, and it is expected that the active ingredient exhibits a sustained action.
Moreover, when the carbon number of the saturated hydrocarbon group which an active ingredient (A) has is 18 or less, there exists a tendency to be excellent in the solubility in a formulation.
The active ingredient having a carbon number of more than 18 and / or the active ingredient having an unsaturated hydrocarbon group tends to have poor solubility in the preparation.
 有効成分(A)のlogPは、6以上9以下であり、好ましくは6.5以上8.7以下であり、より好ましくは7以上8.5以下である。
 本開示の経口医薬組成物は、所謂、自己乳化型製剤であり、有効成分は、乳化物(即ち、乳化した経口医薬組成物)の油相中から水相である消化液中に分配した後、小腸の粘膜から吸収される。有効成分が水相(即ち、消化液)又は乳化物の油相のいずれに分配されるかは、有効成分のlogPによって決まる。logPが低すぎる有効成分は、乳化物の油相に分配され難い。一方、logPが高すぎる有効成分は、乳化物の油相中から水相である消化液中に分配しないため、小腸の粘膜から吸収されることなく、排出されてしまう。
 本開示の経口医薬組成物において、有効成分は、経口医薬組成物が消化液中で自己乳化した際には、乳化物の油相に分配され、その後、経時で水相である消化液中に分配される必要がある。このような観点から、本開示の経口医薬組成物では、logPが6以上9以下の有効成分(A)を含む。

The oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure is a so-called self-emulsifying formulation, and the active ingredient is distributed from the oil phase of the emulsion (ie, the emulsified oral pharmaceutical composition) into the digestive fluid which is the water phase. , Is absorbed from the mucosa of the small intestine. Whether the active ingredient is distributed in the aqueous phase (i.e., the digestive juice) or the oil phase of the emulsion depends on the logP of the active ingredient. Active ingredients with logP too low are difficult to partition into the oil phase of the emulsion. On the other hand, since the active ingredient having a logP too high does not partition into the digestive fluid which is the water phase from the oil phase of the emulsion, it is discharged without being absorbed from the mucous membrane of the small intestine.
In the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure, the active ingredient is distributed in the oil phase of the emulsion when the oral pharmaceutical composition is self-emulsified in the digestive fluid, and then in the digestive fluid which is the aqueous phase over time. It needs to be distributed. From such a viewpoint, the oral pharmaceutical composition of the present disclosure contains an active ingredient (A) having a logP of 6 or more and 9 or less.

3. Stability in digestive fluid About 350 mg of oral pharmaceutical composition (so-called preparation) is added to 36 mL of buffer solution (so-called solution mimicking fasting intestinal fluid) kept at 37 ° C and then hot The mixture was gently stirred and dispersed at 500 rpm for 20 minutes using a stirrer.
At this time point, the concentration of the active ingredient in the buffer solution was measured.
Next, an aqueous digestive enzyme solution was prepared by dissolving a digestive enzyme (pancreatin-swine pancreas-derived 8 × USP specification, Merck & Co., Inc.) in purified water to a concentration of 17% by mass.
4 mL of an aqueous digestive enzyme solution was added to a buffer in which the oral pharmaceutical composition (so-called preparation) obtained above was dispersed, and 1 mL each was sampled over time. To the sampled solution, a 10% by mass 4-bromophenylboronic acid / methanol solution was added to inhibit digestive enzymes.
After 120 minutes from the start of addition of the digestive enzyme aqueous solution, the sampled solution was ultracentrifuged at 32,000 rpm and maximum rotation radius of 9 cm for 30 minutes, and the supernatant was recovered. Next, the concentration of the active ingredient present in the collected supernatant was measured, and the ratio (so-called residual rate) to the concentration of the active ingredient before the addition of the digestive enzyme aqueous solution was determined.
The results are shown in Tables 5-8.
 回収した上清に存在する有効成分は、消化液中で安定に存在していた有効成分に相当する。経口医薬組成物(所謂、製剤)の乳化物が消化液中で安定であるほど、有効成分は乳化物中に分配できるため、残存率は100%に近い値となる。
 残存率が高いほど、消化液中で乳化物が安定に分散していることを意味し、残存率は、70%以上であることが好ましい。
The active ingredient present in the recovered supernatant corresponds to the active ingredient which was stably present in the digestive fluid. The more stable the emulsion of the oral pharmaceutical composition (so-called preparation) in the digestive fluid, the more the active ingredient can be distributed in the emulsion, and the residual rate approaches 100%.
The higher the residual rate, the more stably the emulsion is dispersed in the digestive fluid, and the residual rate is preferably 70% or more.
