Definitions

  • the present invention relates to novel formulations and to the use of the formulations in the treatment and/or prevention of certain disorders.
  • This compound has been approved for human use and is marketed, in the form of its hydrochloride salt, in many countries around the world as an anti-depressant agent.
  • WO 95/16448 discloses that paroxetine is likely to develop a pink colour unless it is formulated into tablets using a formulation process in which water is absent, such as dry direct compression of paroxetine or dry granulation of paroxetine followed by compression into tablets.
  • dry was used to denote substantially dry as opposed to the wholesale addition of water which had been previously employed in the wet granulation process.
  • paroxetine hydrochloride in a form other than the hemihydrate, which is formulated into capsules under conditions such there is no detectable conversion to hemihydrate during the manufacturing process.
  • the paroxetine hydrochloride may, for example, be present in an amorphous form or as a crystalline anhydrate.
  • excipients which are essentially anhydrous for powder fill capsules that is to say, they contain less than 2%, more especially less than 1.5%, preferably less than 1% water
  • excipients which are essentially hydrophobic for solid or liquid filled capsules that is to say, they contain less than 2%, more especially less than 1.5%, preferably less than 1% water
  • dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous and polyglycolized glycerides can be used to form oral swallow capsules with paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate without undesired conversion to hemihydrate during the manufacturing process.
  • the capsules are then packaged with a desiccant in order to prevent conversion of anhydrate to hemihydrate on storage.
  • the present invention also provides a process for the preparation of paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate capsules free of detectable hemihydrate which is characterised by the use of conditions such there is no detectable conversion of the anhydrate to hemihydrate during the manufacturing process.
  • Such conditions can be achieved by the use of essentially anhydrous/hydrophobic excipients under conditions of low relative humidity
  • excipients with the necessary low moisture content include materials such as dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous, anhydrous direct compression lactose, monosaccharide sugars eg mannitol, disaccharide sugars eg lactitol, powdered cellulose, pregelatinised starch and similar materials. These materials may also be of a grade suitable for direct compression, as this can aid powder filling on the capsule filling machine and also impart appropriate compression characteristics on the blend as appropriate for certain types of capsule filling machines.
  • Dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous is commercially available in a pharmaceutically acceptable grade, eg A-TAB (Rhone Poulenc) as the main excipient in a powder fill capsules formulation.
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with dibasic calcium phosphate anhydrous and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as a lubricant eg magnesium stearate and mixed in a suitable blender before filling cellulose capsule shells of intrinsically low moisture content (eg Shionogi Qualicaps. ⁇ 3%). Additionally, certain of the low
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with direct compression lactilol and other pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as a lubricant eg magnesium stearate and mixed in a suitable blender before filling cellulose capsule shells of intrinsically low- moisture content (eg Shionogi Qualicaps, ⁇ 3%).
  • excipients with the necessary hydrophobicity include materials such as polyglycolised glycerides eg Gelucire 44/14; complex fatty materials of plant origin eg theobroma oil. carnauba wax; plant oils eg peanut, olive, palm kernels, cotton. corn, soya; hydrogenated plant oils eg peanut, palm kernels, cotton, soya, castor. coconut; natural fatty materials of animal origin eg beeswax, lanolin, fatty alcohols eg cetyl. stearyl. lauric. myristic, palmitic, stearic; esters eg glycerol stearate, glycol stearate. ethyl oleate.
  • materials such as polyglycolised glycerides eg Gelucire 44/14; complex fatty materials of plant origin eg theobroma oil. carnauba wax; plant oils eg peanut, olive, palm kernels, cotton. corn,
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with warm Lipex 101 in a suitable blender (to form a suspension) before filling into gelatin capsule shells.
  • a hydrogenated plant oil is commercially available in a pharmaceutically acceptable grade eg Lubritab (Edward Mendell).
  • a pharmaceutically acceptable grade eg Lubritab (Edward Mendell).
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with molten Lubritab in a suitable blender, a hydrophilic excipent, for example anhydrous lactose is added (to form a suspension) before filling into gelatin capsule shells.
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with molten Crodacol C95 in a suitable blender (to form a suspension) before filling into gelatin capsule shells.
  • a polyglycolised glyceride is commercially available in a pharmaceutically acceptable grade eg Gelucire 44/14 (Gattfosse).
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with molten Gelucire 44/14 in a suitable blender (to form a solid suspension) before filling gelatin capsule shells.
  • a liquid interesterified semi-synthetic glycerides is commercially available in a pharmaceutically acceptable grade eg Labrafil M 2125CS (Gattfosse) or Miglyol 810/812 (Hull).
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with Labrafil M 2125CS (Gatfosse) to produce a suspension in a hard or soft gelatin capsule formulation.
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with Miglyol 810 (H ⁇ ls AG) in a suitable mixer to produce a suspension in a hard or soft gelatin capsule formulation.
  • a solid interesterified semi-synthetic glycerides is commercially available in a pharmaceutically acceptable grade eg Suppocire AM - DM (Gattfosse).
  • Suppocire AM - DM Geltfosse
  • paroxetine hydrochloride anhydrate is mixed with molten Suppocire DM in a suitable blender (to form a suspension) before filling into gelatin capsule shells.
  • the capsule formulation is packaged in standard pharmaceutical container/closure presentations, optionally with a desiccant.
  • the amount of paroxetine used is adjusted such that in a single unit dose there is a therapeutically effective amount of paroxetine.
  • the unit dose contains from
  • paroxetine 10 to 100 mg paroxetine (as measured in terms of the free base). More preferable the amount of paroxetine in a unit dose is lOmg, 20mg, 30mg. 40mg or 50mg. The most preferred amount of paroxetine in a unit dose is 20mg.
  • Paroxetine used in the formulation is in the form of the hydrochloride anhydrate which may be prepared according to the procedures outlined in WO 96/24595.
  • paroxetine has particular utility in the treatment of depression; paroxetine may also be used in the treatment of mixed anxiety and depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, panic, pain, obesity, senile dementia, migraine, bulimia, anorexia, social phobia and the depression arising from premenstrual tension and adolescence.
  • the present invention therefore also provides a method of treating or preventing any of the above disorders which comprises administering an effective or prophylactic amount of an oral swallow capsule prepared in accordance with the present invention.
