Definitions

  • This invention relates to aqueous dispersions of waxes and lipids for pharmaceutical coating and more particularly is concerned with the preparation of an aqueous system for the coating of pharmaceutical solids, i.e. medicaments and the like, with waxes or lipids alone or in combination.
  • the techniques employed for the application of wax and lipid coatings on solid dosage forms include the hot-melt e application whereby the waxes and lipids are melted with an oil-soluble emulsifying agent and are applied to tablets or granules rotating in a coating pan.
  • Another method in use employs organic solvent solutions of waxy materials in which the waxes and lipids Q are dissolved in a suitable organic solvent such as chloroform and the organic solution is then applied on tablets or pellets in a conventional coating pan, for example.
  • a suitable organic solvent such as chloroform
  • Spray, congealing is also in use and presents the 5 advantage of producing directly a free flowing powder by spraying a suspension of finely-divided powdered medicament, molten wax and lipid into solid particulate form.
  • Aqueous film coating has gained use recently.
  • a typical process involves dispersing a finely-divided powder 0 of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose phthalate in an aqueous medium containing triacetin to give an aqueous coating liquid, spraying the coating onto the surface of a solid dosage form and thereafter drying the thus coated solid dosage form to provide an enteric coating. 5 ⁇ None of these processes have been completely satisfactory.
  • Organic coating liquids are undesirable as the use of large amounts of organic solvents involves problems of explosion or fire hazard as well as possible toxic effects 5 and environmental pollution.
  • the hot-melt and spray congealing methods involve the use of special equipment which is costly.
  • the present invention involves a novel formulation and process for converting waxes and lipids used for 5 pharmaceutical and food coating encapsulation into a solid powder which can be reconstituted with water into an aqueous coating system for application as a protective, enteric and/or controlled release coating of drug-containing granules, pellets and tablets.
  • the aqueous dispersion method is a novel formulation and process for converting waxes and lipids used for 5 pharmaceutical and food coating encapsulation into a solid powder which can be reconstituted with water into an aqueous coating system for application as a protective, enteric and/or controlled release coating of drug-containing granules, pellets and tablets.
  • J_ Q of the present invention can be used to coat heat-sensitive materials as the product is not exposed to excessively high temperatures.
  • the present emulsion or dispersion system can be prepared with low viscosities at high solids content; such coating systems containing 20-30% solids can readily be— j_c j applied using conventional fluidized bed or pan-coating technology.
  • the novel aqueous film coating system of the present invention the coating thickness and uniformity of coating of drugs can be more effectively controlled and the 0 solid readily dispersible powdered form eliminates problems associated with shipping and shelf-stability of aqueous dispersions.
  • the present coating system may contain a wide range of wax and lipid materials alone or in combination. Pigments, plasticizers, both water and water-insoluble
  • polymers as well as drugs may easily be incorporated into the present coating system.
  • the present invention involves the emulsification of a lipid/wax mixture followed by spray drying to form a powder.
  • the resultant powder is readily dispersible in water and may be coated on drug-containing granules, pellets, tablets and the like.
  • the aqueous dispersions of waxes !_ and lipids may be used for pharma'ceutical coating applications of medicaments as, for instance, protective coatings, enteric coatings, sustained-release coatings and the like.
  • a typical formulation may include a lipid, i.e. partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, an emulsifying agent, i.e., polysorbate, and/or a wax, i.e. castor wax.
  • ] _c up to weight by adding hot distilled water.
  • the emulsion is shock-cooled in an ice-bath with constant stirring.
  • a smooth emulsion having a particle size between 1-5 microns is obtained.
  • the emulsion may then be applied to the coating of
  • the lipid component when employed, is employed in an amount of from about 10% to about 30%, and preferably from about 15% to about 20%, by weight, of the total quantity of the emulsion.
  • the emulsifying agent is employed in an amount from about 0.5% to about 5%, and preferably from about 1% to about 3%, by weight, of the total quantity of the emulsion.
  • Water is employed in an amount sufficient to balance the formulation.
  • Particularly useful waxes and lipids for use in the 0 present invention include:
  • Surface active agents for use in the present invention may be of the anionic or nonionic type.
  • the emulsifier employed in the wax/lipid emulsions of the present invention may be of the nonionic type and may also include
  • emulsifiers of the anionic type in combination therewith.
  • Many nonionic emulsifiers can be used in this emulsion provided the critical relationship between oil solubility and water solubility is maintained.
  • Typical of such emulsifiers are mixtures of sorbitan monooleate and poly ⁇ xyethylene
  • Typical other nonionic emulsifiers suitable for use in these wax/lipid emulsions are polyoxyethylene ethers of octyl or nonylphenol having variable amounts of ethylene oxide content per mole of finished product required to provide the oil and water 5 solubility characteristics.
  • polyoxyethylene ethers of octyl phenol having about 5 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of finished product when blended with a like amount of polyoxyethylene ethers of octyl phenol having about 10 moles of ethylene oxide per mole of finished 0 product provides an emulsifier combination having the desired water and oil solubility.
  • ethylene oxide content is reduced, oil solubility is enhanced, whereas as the ethylene oxide content is increased, water solubility 5 ] _ is enhanced.
  • a blended product having sufficient oil-soluble and water-soluble constituents and possessing an average ethylene oxide content per mole of finished product between about 5 and 10 is quite satisfactory.
  • Other nonionic emulsifiers contemplated within the scope of the present emulsions are exemplified by partial esters of fatty acids (e.g. palmitic, stearic, oleic and the like) and hexitol anhydrides (hexitans and hexides) derived from sorbitol.
  • Suitable deflocculating agents such as sodium hexametaphosphate, sodium tetraphosphate, sodium tripolyphosphate and potassium metaphosphate may advantageously be used in the present composition in amounts from about 0% to about 1% by weight.

Abstract

Des solides pharmaceutiquement utiles sont enrobés avec une émulsion qui comprend une cire/lipide, un agent émulsifiant et de l'eau. Cette émulsion peut être vaporisée à sec pour former une poudre pouvant par la suite être dispersée dans de l'eau et appliquée sur la surface de médicaments de façon à assurer une libération protégée, entérique et/ou contrôlée de granulés, pilules et comprimés contenant des médicaments.
