Definitions
- the present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.
- the present invention particularly relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient that show desired stability as well as dissolution profile.
- the present invention also relates to a method of preparing pharmaceutical compositions comprising azilsartan medoxomil that are stable and has desired dissolution profile.
- the present invention relates to a simple and cost effective process for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions comprising azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
- the present invention also relates to stable pharmaceutical compositions comprising azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof as a first active agent, optionally a second active agent(s), and optionally one or more other pharmaceutically acceptable excipient(s).
- the present invention further relates to use of the pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment of hypertension and associated disorders.
- Blood pressure is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels. It is usually expressed in terms of the Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and Diastolic blood pressure (DBP). SBP is the peak pressure exerted on the walls of the arteries during the contraction phase of the ventricles of the heart while DBP is the minimum pressure exerted on the vessel walls when the heart muscle relaxes between two heart beats. BP is influenced by multiple factors like the muscular efficiency of the heart, the blood volume and viscosity, the age and health of the individual, and the state of the vascular wall. The mean arterial blood pressure is the product of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance.
- Hypertension also referred to as high blood pressure and sometimes called arterial hypertension, is a condition in which the arteries have persistently elevated blood pressure. It is defined as a SBP of at least 140 mmHg and/or a DBP of at least 90 mmHg. Blood pressure between 120/80 mmHg and 139/89 mmHg is called prehypertension to denote increased risk of hypertension.
- Hypertension affects about 20% of the adult population in developed countries. In the adult population aged 60 years or older, this percentage increases to about 60% to 70% in general. Hypertension is also associated with an increased risk of other physiological complications including stroke, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, heart failure, peripheral vascular disease and renal impairment. (Fagard, R. H., Am. J. Geriatric Cardiology, 11 (1), 23-28 (2002); Brown, M J and Haycock, S; Drugs, 59 (Suppl 2), 1-12 (2000)).
- Hypertension may be classified as primary (essential) or secondary.
- Primary hypertension is the term for high blood pressure with unknown cause that accounts for about 95% of cases and Secondary hypertension is the term for high blood pressure with a known direct cause, such as kidney disease, tumors. It is also caused by endocrine conditions, such as Cushing's syndrome, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, acromegaly, Conn's syndrome or hyperaldosteronism, hyperparathyroidism and pheochromocytoma.
- Hypertension can be managed by non-medication measures such as lifestyle changes such as dietary changes, physical exercise, weight loss and alike as well as medication measures.
- Several classes of medications called as 'antihypertensive drugs' belong to various chemical and pharmacological categories have been developed for the management of hypertension. However, the efficacy and safety of such drugs vary from patient to patient and there remains need for more effective treatment.
- Angiotensin II receptor blockers ARB or antagonists.
- Angiotensin II can act directly on blood vessels to cause increase in blood pressure. It also stimulates the release of aldosterone which is a potent vasoconstrictor that causes significant increase in blood pressure, but can also change the baseline filtering activity of the kidneys. Aldosterone causes the kidneys to retain both salt and water, which, over time, increases the amount of water in the body resulting into rise in blood pressure.
- ARBs specifically antagonize or block the action of angiotensin II type 1 receptors resulting in vasodilation, reduced secretion of vasopressin, and reduced production and secretion of aldosterone. The combined effect is a reduction in blood pressure.
- Azilsartan is a selective ATi subtype angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is approved by USFDA as Edarbi ® immediate release oral tablets containing azilsartan medoxomil for the treatment of hypertension. Azilsartan medoxomil is a prodrug, which is hydrolyzed to azilsartan in the gastrointestinal tract during absorption. Each Edarbi ® tablet contains 42.68 or 85.36 mg azilsartan kamedoxomil, as the potassium salt of azilsartan medoxomil, which is equivalent to containing 40 mg or 80 mg respectively of azilsartan medoxomil.

- the desiccant may be placed in the internal space of the package containing the composition, in an amount sufficient to remove the odorous material or to suppress or reduce the smell.
- the desiccants are selected from, but not limited to, a synthetic zeolite, silica gel, silica-alumina, an active carbon, metallic oxide such as calcium oxide and the like used either alone or in combinations thereof.
- azilsartan medoxomil compositions are packed or stored into the bottle or blister pack or pouch which comprises a desiccant and optionally antioxidant(s).
- antioxidant is intended to mean an agent that inhibits oxidation, and thus is used to prevent the deterioration of preparations by oxidation due to the presence of oxygen free radicals or free metals in the composition.
- antioxidants that can be used in the present invention include, but not limited to ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxyl anisole, butylated hydroxyl toluene, or a mixture thereof.
- the amount of antioxidants used in the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention ranges from 0.01% w/w to 2% w/w.
- An aspect of the present invention provides a method of using the compositions of the present invention comprising azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the treatment of hypertension and associated disorders. Another aspect of the present invention further provides a method of using the compositions of present invention comprising therapeutically effective amount of azilsartan medoxomil or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and optionally second active agent for the treatment of hypertension and associated disorders.
- the invention can be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Other features and embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following examples, which are given for illustration of the invention rather than for limiting its intended scope.
