DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION To accomplish the above-mentioned purposes, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, comprising mirabegron or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof as an active ingredient, a release-controlling agent polyethylene oxide and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. Polyethylene oxide may have polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 100,000 to 900,000, included in the amount of 40 to 90%, preferably 50 to 75% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition.

In one preferred embodiment a release-controlling agent polyethylene oxide is polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 300,000 and an amount 61% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition.

In one embodiment of the invention, the pharmaceutical composition may include as a release-controlling agent a polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 100,000 to 900,000 and polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 2 million to 8 million at the same time. It is preferred polyethylene oxide with the average molecular weight of 100,000 to 900,000 to be in an amount of 40 to 90, more preferably 50 to 75% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition, and polyethylene oxide with the average molecular weight of 2 million to 8 million is in an amount of 1 to 30%, preferably 2 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition.

In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the pharmaceutical composition as a the release-controlling agent comprises polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 300,000 in the amount 55% and polyethylene oxide with an average molecular weight of 7 million in an amount 6,4% .

If the amount of a polyethylene oxide exceeds the above, the release of mirabegron is excessively inhibited, resulting in low absorption into the body. If the amount of a polyethylene oxide is not sufficient, the rapid release of mirabegron can cause a problem where pharmacokinetic data of the drug significantly has ranged depending on the presence or absence of the intake of food.

As pharmaceutically acceptable excipients in the pharmaceutical composition of the invention is used antioxidant, diluent and lubricant. As the antioxidant may be used butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), propyl gallate (PG), butylhydroxyanisole (BHA), ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, erythorbic acid, sodium nitrite, sodium hydrogen sulfite, sodium pyrosulfite, and citric acid, and preferably, butylhydroxytoluene (BHT). The antioxidant may be in the amount of 0.01 to 2% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition. The lubricant is preferable to be in the amount of 0.05 to 4% by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition. The lubricant may be selected from the group of compounds consisting of magnesium stearate, talc, hydrogenated castor oil, calcium stearate and silicon dioxide, and, preferably, magnesium stearate.

By using a lubricant in the above range, it can play a role in improving flowability during the manufacturing of granules, in preventing the sticking to devices such as punches or rollers, and in reducing resistance when withdrawing the granules from the devices.

It is preferred that the diluent to be in the amount of 10 to 25 % by weight based on the total weight of the pharmaceutical composition to ensure uniform flow, desirable compression properties, and content uniformity is contained . The diluent may be selected from the group consisting of microcrystalline cellulose, low substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, starch, and calcium phosphate, and preferably microcrystalline cellulose.

The pharmaceutical composition of the present invention does not include hydrophilic materials capable of invading water inside the formulation.

In other aspect, the invention is directed to the process of production of the pharmaceutical composition of mirabegron. The tablets are produced by using a dry granulation process.

In the specification of the present application, the term "dry granules" refers to granules that are prepared substantially without using any granulating solvents such as water or ethanol. On the other hand, the term "wet granules" refers to granules that are prepared by using a solution as a binding agent to agglomerate wetted mass during the manufacturing process, and then drying the wetted mass at appropriate temperature and time using a tray dryer or a fluid bed dryer followed by milling.

The process of production of the pharmaceutical composition of mirabegron, according to the invention comprises the following steps: -blending of mirabegron or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, the polyethylene oxide, the microcrystalline cellulose, the butylhydroxytoluene and part of magnesium stearate;

-compacting the mixture to preparation of dry granules; and

-lubricating the dry granules received with the rest quantity of magnesium stearate; and -tableting the received blend.

In the present invention, the dry granulation may be carried out by roller compaction or slugging, and preferably, by roller compaction. The roller compaction refers to a method of making granules by compressing powders at a constant pressure while passing them through two rollers. The roller-compacted blends may be subjected to milling or sieving to obtain a suitable size of granule. The milling process is milling or sieving the granules to a suitable particle size and may utilize fitz-mill, co-mill, oscillator, etc. The milled particles may be applied through a sieve or mesh screen to obtain the granules with desired particle sizes.

The dry granulation method according to the present invention has advantages of being economical and productive due to the simple manufacturing process and short manufacturing time, and not having problems such as stability caused by water or organic solvents. Further, in the present invention, it was found that manufacturing mirabegron tablets using direct compression method is not suitable for mass production due to the poor content uniformity of tablets and flow ability of the powder.

The advantage of the invention is that the developed pharmaceutical composition allows to reduce the generation of related substances, thereby ensuring stability during the manufacturing and after the packaging process and also allows long-term storage, the drug is released at a constant rate, the dissolution rate is kept consistent from one formulation to another, keeping the efficacy of the drug consistent, preventing adverse effects and the pharmaceutical composition is produced by simple, and economical process.

Preparation of tablets containing 50 mg mirabegron with different in quantity excipients, according to the invention

As shown in the Table above, the appropriate quantity of mirabegron, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene oxide, butylhydroxytoluene, and magnesium stearate were blended, and granules were formed using a roller compactor (Freund TF-156). The granules were milled, and then lubricated using magnesium stearate. They were tableted with a rotary tablet press to produce tablets.

Evaluation of dissolution properties of the pharmaceutical composition according depending on the amounts of polyethylene oxide in the composition

The dissolution rates of the reference drug (Betmiga PR tablet) and the tablets of Examples 3 to 5 which include different amount of polyerhylene oxide were evaluated. The dissolution test was carried out in accordance with the padle mehod of the USP dissolution test (50 rpm, pH 6,8 phosphate buffer 900 ml). Four samples from each type tablets were tested to the obtain the average value and deviation, and the results received are shown in the Table 1 and shown graphically in the Fig.1.

"able 1

The determination of the dissolution rates indicated that all the tablets of Examples 3 to 5 showed the dissolution patterns close to the zero-order rate up to six hours.

The tablets of Example 3, which comprise polyethylene oxide with the molecular weight of 300,000 (PEO 300K) as a release-controlling agent in the amount of about 75% by weight of the tablets represented a tendency to decrease the dissolution rates after six hours.

The tablets of Example 4 comprising PEO 300K in the amount of about 54% by weight of the tablets provided the greater dissolution deviation than the other tablets.

On the other hand, the tablets of Example 5 comprising PEO 300K in the amount of about 61% by weight of the tablets showed the dissolution rate that were similar to those of the reference drug, and the dissolution rate is maintained consistently up to 12 hours, with the small dissolution deviation.

The tablets of mirabegron with the composition, according to the invention, but received by using are different processes of production was prepared for evaluation of importance of the process used for production of tablets with good uniformity and flowability as well as of dissolution properties similar essentially to the comersial available tablets Betmiga PR, as follows:

Example 6. Preparation of mirabegron tablets by direct compression method.

50 mg Mirabegron, 25 mg polyethylene oxide 7M , 164,6 mg polyethylene glycol, 7,5 mg low substituted hydroxypropylcellulose and 0,4 mg butylhydroxytoluene were uniformly blended, and further lubricated by using 2,5 mg magnesium stearate. The final blends were tableted with a rotary tablet press to produce tablets.

Evaluation of content uniformity and flowability of mirabegron tablets from Example 6 prepared by direct compression method

In order to determine the content uniformity of mirabegron tablets prepared by a direct compression method, three compressed products were each weighed, and the content uniformity was measured under the following condition in accordance with the test method for content uniformity in the uniformity test of formulations among the general test methods of the Korean Pharmacopoeia.

©Detector: UV spectrophotometer (detection wavelength: 250 nm)

©Column: Diameter4.6 x 150 mm, 3.5 p or equivalent column ©Mobile phase: 10 mM Phosphate buffer (pH 3.0), acetonitrile

In addition, before compression, lOOg of the blends from each of the examples and the comparative examples were accurately weighed and carefully placed in a 250mL measuring cylinder so as not to be compacted, and then the apparent volume was measured. The tapped volume was measured by tapping the measuring cylinder on a tap density tester. By these measurements, Carr's Index (Carr's compressibility) was calculated according to the follow formula:

Carr's Index = 100* (TD -BD) / TD where TD is tapped density (g/mL), BD is apparent density (g/mL)

The measured values of Comparative Example 1 according to the method above are represented in Table 2 below, and the criteria for measuring flowability using Carr's Index are shown in Table 3.

Table 2

Table 3

The tablets of Example 6 prepared by direct compression method failed to show uniform content values with a minimum content of 95.3% and a maximum content of 110.9%. Carr'slndex was determined as 31 to 38%, indicating very poor flowability according to the criteria in Table 3.

Finally, it was found that the mirabegron tablets produced by direct compression method are disadvantageous for mass production due to poor content uniformity of the drug and poor flow of the granules. Example 7 to 10. Preparation of mirabegron tablets by wet granulation method

Mirabegron tablets were prepared with the ingredients and quantities listed in the Table below.

Granules were prepared by blending the ingredients from the pre-blending portion followed by wet massing by addition of the binding solution, dried and then milled. The final granules were prepared by mixing with the ingredients from the post-blending portion. The final granules were lubricated with magnesium stearate and then tableted with a rotary tablet press to produce tablets. Comparative evaluation tests of the stability of mirabegron tablets/detection of related substances generation / depending on the manufacturing method of mirabegron tablets and the presence or absence of hydrophilic materials through which may capable of invading water in the formulation.

For comparative evaluation of the stability of mirabegron tablets/detection of related substances generation /were conducted comparative Test of Stability of tablets with the composition indicated in the Example 2, produced by dry granulation process and the tablets of Examples 8, 9 and 10, produced by wet granulation process.

With Al-Al blister packaged tablets, the generation of unknown related substances during the storage under the stress test condition (temperature 60°C, humidity 80%, 1 month) and the accelerated test condition (temperature 40°C, humidity 75%, 3 months) were evaluated under the following test condition, and the results are described in Tables 7 and 8.

(D Detector: UV spectrophotometer (detection wavelength: 250 nm) ©Column: Diameter 150 mm L. x 4.6 mm I.D., 3.5 pm or equivalent column

Table 4

Table 5

As shown in Tables 4 and 5 above, the generation of related substances was found to be lowest in tablets of Example 2, which contained only polyethylene oxide as a release-controlling agent and were manufactured by dry granulation method. On the other hand, tablets of Examples 8 to 10, which in addition to polyethylene oxide, further included polyethylene glycol (Examples 8 and 10) or the sugar alcohol isomalt (Example 9) as hydrophilic materials and all of them were prepared by wet granulation method, showed the higher generation of related substances under both the stress and accelerated test conditions.

Thus, it was established that mirabegron formulations with excellent stability can be obtained by manufacturing tablets by using dry granulation method without containing in the composition hydrophilic materials. Comparative evaluation of dissolution properties, according to different methods for manufacturing tablets, in particular the tablets received by dry granulation method /Example 1/, direct compression method /Example 6/ and wet granulation method /Example

7/.

The dissolution test was conducted on the tablets of Example 1, Examples 6 and 7 in order to identify the dissolution pattern according to different methods for manufacturing tablets. The dissolution test was carried out in accordance with the paddle method of the USP dissolution test (50rpm, pH 6.8 phosphate buffer 900ml). Four samples from each case were tested to obtain the average value and deviation, and the results were shown in Table 6 and Fig. 1.

Table 6

As show from Table 6 above and Fig. 3, it was found that the tablets of Example 1 prepared by dry granulation method released mirabegron at a zero-order rate for nearly eight hours and also had small dissolution deviation. In contrast, as shown in the test results of Examples 6 and 7, the tablets prepared from direct compression method or wet granulation method failed to maintain the zero-order rate of dissolution pattern.

Therefore, it was concluded that the mirabegron tablets manufactured by dry granulation method show a similar rate (slope) of dissolution pattern to that of commercially available Betmiga PR tablets as well as small dissolution deviation.

Examples 10 to 14. Preparation of mirabegron tablets, where the control release agent is combination of polyethylene oxides with different average molecular weight

In the same way as in Examples 2 to 5, mirabegron tablets in Examples 10 to 14 were prepared by dry granulation method. Tablets comprise polyethylene oxide with the molecular weight of 300,000 (PEO 300K) and 7 million (PEO 7M) together as a release-controlling agent in Examples 6, 7 and 8. Mirabegron tablets in Example 9 comprised PEO 100K (molecular weight of 100,000) and PEO 900K (molecular weight of 900,000), and Example 10 was composed with a combination of PEO 100K and PEO 2M (molecular weight of 2 million). The composition and quantities are explained in Table below.

Evaluation of dissolution properties according to the amount of polyethylene oxide

The dissolution test was carried out for the reference drug (Betmiga PR tablets) and the tablets of Examples 10 to 12 in accordance with the paddle method in the USP dissolution test (200 rpm, pH 6.8 phosphate buffer 900 mL). Four samples from each case were tested to obtain the average value and deviation, and the results are shown in Table 7 and Fig. 2.

Table 7

The determination of the dissolution rates showed that the tablets of Example 12, which comprise PEO 300K in the amount of about 55% by weight of the tablets and PEO 7M in the amount of about 6.4% by weight of the tablets as a release-controlling agent, represented the dissolution rates that were similar to those of the reference drug and maintained consistently up to eight hours, and had the smaller dissolution deviation, as compared to the tablets of Examples 10 and 11 comprising less PEO 7M than those of Example 12. Examples 13 and 14 were used as the backup formulations comprising PEO 100K, 900K and PEO 2M and the dissolution rate of mirabegron was found to be similar to the dissolution rate of reference drug up to 8 hours.
