Description
An orodispersible pharmaceutical composition of fexofenadine and its process of preparation.
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of fexofenadine. The present invention more particularly relates to orodispersible tablet of fexofenadine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof for oral administration. The present invention also relates to the process of the preparation of the same.
Background of the Invention
Fexofenadine was disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,254,129. Fexofenadine is a selective Hl -antagonist used to treat the symptoms of chronic idiopathic urticaria, and allergic rhinitis. Fexofenadine is a second-generation antihistamine and it is used to treat a variety of allergy symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, itching of the nose or throat, because it binds to and stabilizes the inactive version of the receptor. Fexofenadine is referred to as a "inverse agonist" of the Hl receptor because it prevents the receptor's activation and consequent downstream effects. Fexofenadine has a potent and selective affinity for Hi receptors, and there is no evidence that it carries antidopaminergic, antiserotonergic, anticholinergic, sedative, or adrenergic blocking activity. Since fexofenadine cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, it is unlikely to have a substantial impact on the central nervous system.
The IUPAC name of fexofenadine is 2-[4-[l-hydroxy-4-[4-[hydroxy(diphenyl)methyl] piperidin-l-yl] butyl] phenyl] -2-methylpropanoic acid. Fexofenadine is administered as a racemic mixture in which both enantiomers exhibit equivalent antihistamine action.
Fexofenadine is marketed, particularly as an oral tablet and suspension. The dose strengths of fexofenadine that are commercially marketed in 30 mg, 60 mg, 120 mg and 180 mg (depending on the dose). In U.S the dosage strength for suspension is 30
mg/5 ml for oral administration. Fexofenadine is highly efficient when taken orally. Its unpleasant, strong bitter taste after oral administration present a special challenge in the development of oral pharmaceutical formulations of fexofenadine.
The development of orally dispersible tablet has provided a new approach for treating emergency cases, as well as a new technique for oral absorption that solves insoluble drugs simultaneously and is for use by both children and elderly people, especially for gulping down the status of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy has more advantageous uses, and as a result, found a kind of solution for the quality of life of improving people. Additionally, it has been discovered that the orodispersible tablet of the invention exhibit high stability and physical integrity, for example, during storage, handling, packaging, and similar situations, while maintaining extremely good disintegration performance. The key to manufacturing an orally dispersible tablet is to find the right adjuvant, that is strongly compressible, will disintegrate quickly, and will also have a pleasant mouthfeel.
Fexofenadine is available in racemate or single enantiomer forms, as a free base or as an acid addition salt of the racemate or single enantiomer. Conventionally, the free base form can be converted into an acid salt form, and vice versa. Examples of appropriate salt forms for acid addition include hydrochloride, lactate, and ascorbate, with hydrochloride being the preferred form. The salt hydrochloride of fexofenadine is preferable.
Fexofenadine is 60% to 70% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin and al-acid glycoprotein. Approximately 5% of the total dose of fexofenadine was eliminated by hepatic metabolism. The mean elimination half-life of fexofenadine was 14.4 hours following administration of 60 mg twice daily in healthy adult subjects.
Additionally, some patients, particularly children and the elderly, have trouble swallowing the tablets, even with liquids. It is therefore highly desirable to remedy this issue and create an orodispersible tablet containing fexofenadine that has taste-masking properties, has pleasant palatability, ensures patient comfort during administration, and allows for the acquisition of pharmacokinetic parameters at least bioequivalent to those attained with conventional oral fexofenadine formulations.
US 6723348 discloses an orodispersible tablet comprising coated granules of fexofenadine. The tablet consists of a disintegrating agent, a diluent agent, a lubricant and swelling agent, a permeabilizing agent, sweeteners, flavoring agents, and colors in the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis. The orodispersible tablets, which are able to disintegrate in the buccal cavity upon contact with saliva, might disintegrate into an easily swallowed suspension in the buccal cavity. The process of preparation of coated granules consists of dry mixing the microcrystals of fexofenadine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts with a diluent agent or antistatic agent and granulating the mixture obtained in the above step by spraying a solution or suspension with binder and applying a layer over the thus obtained granules by spraying thereon a suspension or solution containing fexofenadine or its pharmaceutically acceptable salts with at least one binder. Thus, coated granules are obtained with a suspension of a coating composition and drying the coating composition will form coated granules. This innovation has drawbacks for coating granules, including a tedious and timeconsuming technique that increases formulation costs. The pharmacodynamic properties of drug formulations may be affected by tablet coating, and the process occasionally leads to coating defects such as chipping and cracking etc. and the process for coating granules remains complicated. As a result, highly competent technicians are required to complete the operation.
W02015/001478A1 discloses oral liquid pharmaceutical composition of fexofenadine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for oral administration. The liquid
pharmaceutical composition comprises of fexofenadine and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier which is polyethylene glycol or a propylene glycol-based solvent, or a mixture thereof consisting of glycerol and sorbitol as pharmaceutical excipient, stabilizing fexofenadine hydrochloride with flavoring agent and chelating agent such as disodium Ethylenediamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA). This invention is preferably used for infants or children to treat allergies or urticaria. They are bulky, difficult to transport and take up a lot of space. Due to their inherent instability, liquid dosage forms often have shorter shelf lives than their corresponding solid dosage forms. The patient's measurement of the exact volume determines whether the dose is administered appropriately, which increases the chance for variability.
W02005013987A1 discloses the conventional oral tablet by wet granulation method comprising fexofenadine and/or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof consisting of lactose monohydrate and low substituted hydroxy propyl cellulose.

Detailed description of the Invention
The Solid pharmaceutical composition of fexofenadine suitable for oral administration is the invention as further described herein.
Drinking water is mostly required for the oral administration of drugs like tablets and capsules, in which some patients experience nuisance in swallowing bulky conventional dosage forms. Orodispersible tablets, a substitute for oral drug delivery system, have been developed in order to reduce dysphagia and increase patient compliance. These tablets are made to dissolve in the mouth without the use of water. Therefore, they are helpful in situations where water is unavailable or forbidden, such as before surgery, during kinetosis, cough bouts brought on by neurological stimulation, or during chest infections. The orodispersible tablets are made using a variety of techniques with the goal of achieving quick disintegration of the dosage form when it comes into contact with saliva while maintaining a pleasant mouthfeel.
Furthermore, the term "orodispersible" as used in the present invention refers to uncoated tablets that can disintegrate in the buccal cavity when comes in contact with saliva. The tablet disintegrates within not more than 3 minutes after oral administration. Orodispersible tablets are also known as orally dispersible and orally disintegrating tablets. These orodispersible tablets can be administered to any patient having difficulty in swallowing.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is an orodispersible solid pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral administration comprising fexofenadine or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, at least one disintegrant, and at least one diluent. When in contact with saliva, these tablets dissolve or disintegrate, releasing the active ingredient and ensuring maximum drug bioavailability compared to conventional dose forms. Super disintegrants, which release the medication in the mouth and increase bioavailability, are added to the dose form to provide this dispersible feature. In one embodiment, the Fexofenadine is present in an amount of 15%w/w to about 45 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 20 %w/w to about 35 %w/w and are administered as oral Solid dosage form.
The term "about," as and where used in this specification, means ±10% of the mentioned value.
The present invention's solid pharmaceutical composition for oral administration is distinguished by physicochemical properties appropriate for a tablet formulation manufactured by wet granulation, by an adequate active ingredient release rate, and by storage stability attained by using excipients that essentially have no tendency to interact with the active ingredient and have good compressibility properties. To ensure a proper dissolution rate and stability of the finished dosage form, the excipients were carefully chosen. The ultimate objective was to create a stable orodispersible
formulation characterized by good taste and rapid disintegration, which leads to greater absorption and high levels of the active ingredient in the systemic circulation.
In one embodiment, a diluent is used in order to enhance the granulation of the fexofenadine or one of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts. Suitable diluent for the present invention can be selected from microcrystalline cellulose, dextrates, dextrose, fructose, sorbitol, starch, pregelatinized maize starch, sucrose, xylitol, maltose, maltodextrin, mannitol and combinations thereof. In the present invention combination of two diluents are used. In the present invention combination of the microcrystalline cellulose and pregelatinized maize starch are preferred as diluent in range of about 20%w/w to about 90 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 40 %w/w to about 70 %w/w. In one embodiment, the microcrystalline cellulose is present in the range from about 20 %w/w to about 75 % w/w, preferably from about 30 %w/w to about 60% w/w and pregelatinized maize starch is present in the range from about 2 %w/w to about 20 % w/w, preferably from about 4 %w/w to about 15 % w/w.
In one embodiment, the suitable disintegrant for the present invention is selected from alginic acid, carbon dioxide, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose Sodium, croscarmellose sodium, guar gum, methylcellulose, polacrilin potassium, poloxamer, Sodium alginate and sodium starch glycolate. Further, the disintegrant can be single or any combination of. A faster disintegration of orodispersible tablets will facilitate an earlier onset of dissolution. The addition of super disintegrants can reduce the disintegration time of tablet. Crosscarmellose sodium is preferred disintegrant for the present invention in the range from about 0.5 %w/w to about 10 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 1 %w/w to about 7.5 %w/w. A super disintegrant for use in pharmaceutical formulations, sodium croscarmellose is an internally cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose. Croscarmellose sodium is a super disintegrant that can decrease the disintegration time to less than three minutes. Through the mechanisms of swelling, recovering elastic energy, and capillary action,
croscarmellose sodium speeds up the disintegration process (wi eking). It is a polymer that resembles fibers and has good flow properties despite its very small size. Its long fiber-like structure can increase the space between the matrix tablet's constituent particles, speeding up the disintegration process. Further, it presents the tendency to absorb water rapidly, so it swells in a significant amount. Therefore, this rapid water absorption by croscarmellose sodium molecules has resulted in a significant increase in the volume of granules, resulting in rapid and uniform disintegration. Croscarmellose sodium incorporated in a pharmaceutical composition facilitates the breakup or disintegration of the content of the tablet into smaller particles that dissolve more rapidly than in the absence of disintegrating agents. Therefore, Croscarmellose is the disintegrant of choice for orodispersible tablets.
As per another embodiment, the solid pharmaceutical composition further comprises a sweetener. The sweetener should be from about 0.5 to 10% w/w, preferably from about 1 to 6.5 % w/w. In one embodiment, a suitable sweetener for the present invention is selected from acesulfame potassium, sucralose, cyclamate, saccharin, saccharin sodium, aspartame, or mixtures thereof. The solid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be prepared in the presence of acesulfame potassium as a sweetener.
As per one more embodiment, the solid pharmaceutical composition may further comprise a flavoring agent. Flavoring agents may be, for example, mint powder, menthol, orange flavor, vanillin, aspartame, or acesulfame potassium. In the present invention, orange flavor is used for the preparation of orodispersible tablets.
In one embodiment, a suitable binder for the present invention can be selected from the group consisting of alginic acid, carbomer, ethyl cellulose, gelatin, glucose, guar gum, hydroxy ethyl cellulose, methylcellulose, polydextrose, polyethylene oxide, and povidone K30. Preferably, povidone K30 is preferred as a binder for the present
invention. It is present in the range from about 0.25 %w/w to about 7 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 0.5 %w/w to about 6 %w/w.
Furthermore, as one embodiment of the solid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, glidant is selected from colloidal silicon dioxide, Talc, calcium silicate, calcium phosphate tribasic and mixtures thereof. Preferably, colloidal silica anhydrous is used as a glidant in the range from about 0.25 %w/w to about 7 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 0.5 %w/w to about 4 %w/w.
Furthermore, as one embodiment of the solid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention, the lubricant is selected from boric acid, sodium benzoate, sodium oleate, sodium acetate, sodium lauryl sulphate, magnesium stearate, sodium stearate, calcium stearate, steric acid, waxes or mixtures thereof. Magnesium stearate is preferred as a lubricant for the present invention. It is present in the range from about 0.1 %w/w to about 6 %w/w, preferably in the range from about 0.5 %w/w to about 5%w/w.
Thus, as per one embodiment, the solid pharmaceutical composition of the present invention remains stable at different temperature conditions.
In one more embodiment of the present invention is to provide an orodispersible solid pharmaceutical composition suitable for oral administration comprising fexofenadine, at least one disintegrant, and at least one diluent. In addition, the solid pharmaceutical composition contains at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient chosen from the categories of sweetener, flavoring agent, binder, glidant, and lubricant.
Another embodiment of the present invention is to prepare orodispersible dosage forms of fexofenadine by wet granulation process, which is one of the most economical methods. Wet granulation is used mainly to improve the flow and compressibility of
powders and to prevent segregation of the blend components. It is used to convert a powder mixture into granules having suitable flow and cohesive properties for tableting. The wet granulation process is preferred to other common manufacturing processes because it improves the hardness of the tablets by reducing friability.
In the preferred embodiment, the disintegrating time of fexofenadine orodispersible tablet is not more than 3 minutes. In order to ensure efficient taste masking and a dissolution profile of the active substance (fexofenadine) such that more than 70% of the fexofenadine is released in 30 minutes, preferably more than 90% is released within 20 minutes.
