A STABLE COMBINATION OF VILDAGLIPTIN AND METFORMIN HCI Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tablet formulation comprising vildagliptin and metformin hydrochloride wherein vildagliptin and at least one acidifying agent is dissolved in a solvent. The present invention also relates to a simple, rapid, cost effective, time-saving and industrially convenient process.
Background of the Invention
Diabetes mellitus is a group of disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in which the action of insulin is diminished or absent through altered secretion, decreased insulin activity or a combination of both factors. There are two main types of diabetes; Type 1 and Type 2:
Type 1 diabetes occurs because the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas (beta cells) are damaged. In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas makes little or no insulin, so sugar cannot get into the body's cells for use as energy. People with Type 1 diabetes must use insulin injections to control their blood glucose.
In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but it either doesn't produce enough, or the insulin does not work properly. This diabetes occurs most often in people who are over 40 years old and overweight. Type 2 diabetes may sometimes be controlled with a combination of diet, weight management, and exercise. However, treatment also may include oral glucose-lowering medications or insulin injections.
Vildagliptin is a dipeptidyl dipeptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor developed for use in the treatment of type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes). Vildagliptin inhibits the degradation of the dipeptidyl dipeptidase-IV enzyme, thereby inhibiting the effects of incretin hormones, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). The chemical designation of vildagliptin is (S)-{[(3-hydroxyadamantan-1- yl)amino]acetyl}pyrrolidine-2-carbonitrile, with the chemical structure illustrated below in Formula 1 .
Formula 1
Vildagliptin is soluble in water and in organic polar solvents.
Vildagliptin is marketed under the trademark Galvus® in 50 mg dosage forms. It is used against diabetes mellitus, but particularly in treating type 2 diabetes.
Metformin is antidiabetics having an orally-administrated biguanide structure. Metformin hydrochloride is a white to off-white crystalline compound and it is freely soluble in water and practically insoluble in acetone, ether and chloroform. Oral doses of metformin are generally recommended in the range of 500 to 2500 mg a day and a single dose may vary from 500 to 850 mg. It is used singly or in combination with sulfonylureas, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, or insulin.
The chemical name of metformin hydrochloride is 1 ,1-dimethylbiguanide hydrochloride, has the following chemical structure of Formula II.
Formula II
Combination product of vildagliptin and metformin hydrochloride is marketed under the trademark Eucreas® (50mg/850mg and 50mg/1000mg dosage forms of vildagliptin and metformin hydrochloride). Pharmaceutical formulations of combined respective active ingredients and the process for their preparation are disclosed in EP 1948149.
Combination preparations of metformin and vildagliptin are described in WO 2007/041053. A tablet disclosed can contain, in addition to the active substances, usual excipients, for example fillers, binders, disintegrants, lubricants and colorants. Examples of lubricants that are mentioned are colloidal silica, magnesium trisilicate, starch, talc, calcium phosphate, magnesium stearate, aluminium stearate, calcium stearate, magnesium carbonate, magnesium oxide, polyethylene glycol, cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose.
EP2477660 (A1) discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent metformin or its salt in combination with an active agent sitagliptin or vildagliptin or their salt, and a lubricant (more than 10 wt.%, based on the total weight of the composition). The
lubricant is polyethylene glycol or a mixture of polyethylene glycol with at least one of the other lubricant.
Both metformin HCI and vildagliptin have some structural problems. Stability-related problems do occur in many active agents, including vildagliptin, under the influence of ambient and physical conditions. Vildagliptin is an active agent that is highly-susceptible to air and humidity. When vildagliptin is exposed to air and humidity, it degrades structurally and develops chemical behavioral changes. The stability of vildagliptin products developed is not at a desired level and the shelf life thereof is shortened. In addition, vildagliptin is reactive against the excipients employed in developing formulations containing the same. This fact causes impurities to occur in the formulation and leads to the inclusion of undesired components into the formulation.
In terms of the stability of this combination, alternative approaches were needed to overcome the above disadvantages of vildagliptin.
Improved physicochemical properties of certain salts or certain salt hydrates are of great importance both when produced as a pharmaceutically active substance and when producing and storing.
In the present invention, vildagliptin salt was obtained and that it was tested while preparing the formulation and it was seen that is advantageous in that they show no measurable water absorption or loss. So, in this way was prevented degrade of vildagliptin and provided stabilizing of formulation.
In the present invention, vildagliptin and at least one acidifying agent is dissolved in a solvent and then vildagliptin salt is obtained. So, this formulation overcomes the above problems. In this way, starting with improved constancy of the physical parameters, an even higher quality of the formulations can be guaranteed.
