Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new process for preparing solid formulations of lipid- regulating drugs.
  • U.S. Patent No. 4,961,890 discloses a process for preparing a controlled release formulation containing fenofibrate in an intermediate layer in the form of crystalline microparticles included within pores of an inert matrix.
  • the formulation is prepared by a process involving the sequential steps of dampening said inert core with a solution based on said binder, then projecting said fenofibrate microparticles in a single layer onto said dampened core, and thereafter drying, before said solution based on said binder dissolves said fenofibrate microparticles, and repeating said three steps in sequence until said intermediate layer is formed.
  • EP0793958A2 discloses a process for producing a fenofibrate solid dosage form utilizing fenofibrate, a surface active drug and polyvinyl pyrrolidone in which the fenofibrate particles are mixed with a polyvinyl pyrrolidone solution. The thus obtained mixture is granulated with an aqueous solution of one or more surface active drugs, and the granules thus produced are dried.
  • PCT Publication No. WO 82/01649 discloses a fenofibrate formulation having granules that are comprised of a neutral core that is a mixture of saccharose and starch.
  • the neutral core is covered with a first layer of fenofibrate, admixed with an excipient and with a second micropor- ous outer layer of an edible polymer.
  • U.S. Patent No. 5,645,856 discloses the use of a carrier for hydrophobic drugs, including fenofibrate, and pharmaceutical compositions based thereon.
  • the carrier comprises a digestible oil and a pharmaceutically-acceptable surfactant component for dispersing the oil in vivo upon administration of the carrier, which comprises a hydrophilic surfactant, said surfactant component being such as not to substantially inhibit the in vivo lipolysis of the digestible oil.
  • 6,383,517 discloses a process for preparing a solid formulation of fenofibrate comprising dissolving the fenofibrate in a surfactant solution, premixing an excipient, wet granulating the mixture, drying the mixture and forming a finished dosage form.
  • the prior art processes obtain small particles of fenofibrate by the use of co- micronization steps and/or require the presence of surfactants. These processes result in formulations that may not have maximized dissolution characteristics, and may cause gastro intestinal irritation.
  • the present invention is directed to a process for preparing a solid formulation of a lipid- regulating drug.
  • the process comprises dissolving the lipid-regulating drug in a solvent free of surfactants, premixing one or more excipients to generate an admixture, wet granulating the lipid- regulating drug solution and the premix to form a granulated drug admixture and drying the mixture.
  • the dried granulated admixture may then be sized and formed into a final dosage form.
  • the mixture may be granulated by techniques well-known in the art, preferably by a fluidized bed or by means of a low shear or high shear mixer.
  • the final oral dosage form may be prepared by techniques well-known to those skilled in the art by sizing the mixture and dry blending the resultant particles with excipients into the final oral dosage form, preferably as a tablet or capsule.
  • the formulation thus produced may be administered directly as a granulated product, diluted into an appropriate vehicle for administration, encapsulated into hard gelatin shells or capsules for administration, or administered by other means obvious to those skilled in the art.
  • the lipid regulating drug may be any suitable pharmaceutically active compound, preferably a fibrate and more preferably fenofibrate.
  • the bulk lipid-regulating drug can be prepared by any available method, as for example the compound fenofibrate may be prepared by the procedure disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
  • lipid-regulating drug is then dissolved in a solution with a suitable solvent such as, for example, acetone, methylene chloride, ethanol or chloroform in amounts ranging from 0.5 to
  • a premix of excipients is prepared by conventional techniques. Suitable excipients include, for example, binders, fillers and disintegrants such as lactose, starch, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, sodium starch glycolate and microcrystalline cellulose.
  • the lipid-regulating drug solution and excipient premix are then mixed together.
  • the resulting mixture is then granulated, for example, in a fluidized bed or a low or high shear mixer and dried by well-known solvent evaporation techniques, as for example, spray drying, fluid bed, tray drying, rotary atomizing, spinning disk drying, or evaporation under atmospheric or reduced pressure.
  • the resultant material may then be sized, if necessary and formulated into a finished dosage form, for example, a tablet or capsule by conventional techniques such as direct compression or other means.
  • a finished dosage form for example, a tablet or capsule by conventional techniques such as direct compression or other means.
  • the elimination of the surfactant results in a process having reduced raw material and capital costs, ease of manufacture, potential reduction of gastrointestinal side effects and the ability to prepare tablets and capsules more readily.
  • Example 2 Fenofibrate (25g) was dissolved in 10 mL acetone. Lactose anhydrous (57g), Aircel pH 101 (lOg), Povidone K30 (4g) and sodium starch glycolate (4g) were premixed. The premix was mixed with above solution. The wet mass was tray dried in an oven at 40-55 C. The dried solid was milled, sieved through a screen and the 30-120 mesh portion collected. The collected particles were filled into a hard gelatin capsule.
  • Example 3 In vitro dissolution rates of the capsules produced in Examples 1 and 2 were compared with that of the reference, Lipanthyl, the marketed capsule product, which contains the same amount of the active. USP apparatus II was used for testing.
  • in vitro dissolution profiles of the reference capsules and capsules of the present invention are shown in Figure 1. The data indicate that the dissolution rate of representative capsules of the present invention are comparable to the reference capsules. Based on U.S. Patent No. 4,895,726, in vitro dissolution results can be correlated to in vivo absorption in humans. Thus, equivalent or increased dissolution in vitro can result in bioavailability equivalent to the reference in humans.
