Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a monocompartment osmotic-controlled delivery system of doxazosin comprising co-processed doxazosin and at least one alginic acid derivative.
  • controlled release drug delivery systems are well documented. Numerous technologies have been exploited to achieve desired drug release profiles, as required to satisfy therapeutic needs and patient compliance.
  • One such widely used controlled release technology is based on osmotic pressure controlled drug delivery, introduced by Theewas in J. Pharm. ScL, 64, 12, 1987-91 (1975).
  • the elementary oral osmotic system (OROS ® , Alza Corp.) in its simplest version takes the form of a conventional coated tablet. It comprises a homogenous core tablet of drug coated with a semi-permeable wall/layer and an aperture created through the wall for the release of contents from the core. When placed in dissolution media/gastrointestinal fluid, water permeates into the core through the semipermeable wall and dissolves the drug.
  • Osmotic-controlled drug delivery systems show better in vitro-in vivo correlation as their performance is reported to be independent of pH and contents of the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, they are highly resistant to mechanical stress encountered within the gut. Hence, properly designed osmotic systems may prove to be of paramount importance. Practically, use of simple osmotic system designed by Theewas is confined to that limited number of drugs which are soluble enough to produce a sufficiently high osmotic pressure. Sparingly soluble drugs fail to be delivered from this system in the desired manner.
  • the concept of "push-pull" systems is also presented simplified in European Patent Application No. 52917, by developing osmotic systems without an elastic diaphragm.
  • the osmotic system disclosed in this patent application has the two compartments of the push pull system replaced by two different composition layers, viz., drug layer containing drug and osmotic agents, and an expandable driving member layer formed of a water swellable hydrogel. Manufacturing of the above system is still problematic, requiring multiple compression steps and high level of uniformity in the grain size of granulate during compression. Identification of drug layer surface for drilling of aperture through the semipermeable wall is also cumbersome.
  • 4,992,278 discloses a monocompartment therapeutic system comprising (a) a casing made of a material that is permeable to water and is impermeable to the components of the core containing the active ingredient, (b) a core containing an active ingredient that is sparingly soluble in water or a mixture of such active ingredients, a hydrophilic polymeric swelling agent consisting of a mixture of a vinylpyrrolidone / vinyl acetate copolymer with an ethylene oxide homopolymer, optionally water soluble substance for inducing osmosis and optionally further pharmaceutically acceptable adjuncts and (c) passage through the casing (a) for the transport of the constituents contained in the core into the surrounding aqueous body fluid.
  • this patent teaches that the use of conventional swelling agents of two- compartment system such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, polymethacrylate and the like, in single compartment system does not work. This is because the swelling pressure of these polymers is so great that in contact with water the semipermeable membrane bursts and the whole system disintegrates in the stomach after a short period of time.
  • the present inventors have provided suitable swelling agents which enable easy fabrication of monocompartment systems as well as providing controlled swelling without rupture of a semipermeable membrane.
  • the swelling pressure should be sufficient enough to force the contents out of the system and achieve desired controlled drug release profiles.

  • Alginic acid derivatives used as swelling agents in the monocompartment osmotic- controlled drug delivery system are now discovered to possess the required swelling property to form a dispersion of the poorly soluble drug of a consistency, which is easily flowable through the passageway without damaging the semipermeable membrane.
  • the amount of alginic acid derivative used in the core may be varied over a wide range. With proper choice and use of varying amount of osmotic agents and other pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients, the drug delivery system may be designed to achieve drug release profiles of varied nature. The rate of drug release may also be manipulated by controlling the thickness and nature of semipermeable membrane, e.g. , with proper choice of other coating additives.
  • the monocompartment osmotic-controlled drug delivery system of the present invention When the monocompartment osmotic-controlled drug delivery system of the present invention is placed in dissolution media/gastrointestinal fluid, water permeates into the core, through the semipermeable membrane. Absorption of water causes swelling of the alginic acid derivative in the core, which thereby exerts pressure against the semipermeable membrane and forces the dispersion of poorly soluble drug through the passageway, into the surrounding media. On coming out of the system, the drug in the dispersion gets dissolved in the surrounding media.
  • swelling refers to increase in the volume on coming in contact to water. In some cases swelling may even lead to a formation of gel like consistency into which the poorly soluble drug is embedded in the form of dispersion. Hence, the terms “swelling” and “gelling” are used interchangeably herein.
  • core covers any compact composition having a defined shape such as tablet, mold, capsule and the like.
  • poorly soluble drug as used herein includes drugs having solubility of about 1 part in 25 or more parts of water. It also includes those drugs wherein 1 part of drug dissolves in less than 25 parts of water, but under acidic or alkaline conditions, or under the influence of other excipients the solubility is decreased up to 1 in 25 parts of water.
  • Suitable examples of the therapeutic classes include antidiabetics, antineoplastic agents, antihypertensives, psychopharmacological agents, cardiovascular agents, platelet aggregation inhibitors, analgesics, antimicrobials, diuretics, spasmolytics and the like.
  • Specific examples of poorly soluble drugs include glipizide, doxazosin, verapamil, prazosin, isradipine, cilostazol, nifedipine, nisoldipine, bendrofiumethazide, chlorpropamide, hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, diclofenac, and the like, and combinations thereof.
  • drug as used herein include free drug well as any pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
  • the poorly soluble drug as used herein may be in a commercially available form as such; or in a processed form using techniques of comminution, micro emulsification, co-melting, solid dispersion, spray drying, co ⁇ processing with pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients, drug-inclusion complexation and the like.
  • co-processed doxazosin refers to a solid mixture of doxazosin or any of its pharmaceutically acceptable salts, sovates, esters, or enantiomers with wetting agent.
  • Co-processed doxazosin may be prepared by co-processing doxazosin and wetting agent with or without pharmaceutically acceptable inert excipients using conventional methods, including spray drying, milling, sieving, and melting. In particular melting processes may be used.

  • Alginic acid derivative as used herein includes alginic acid as well as any of its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives such as salts, esters, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
  • alginic acid salts include salts of alginic acid with sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium or ammonia.
  • Specific alginic acid esters include propylene glycol alginate.
  • Alginic acid is a naturally occurring hydrophilic colloidal polysaccharide consisting mainly of residues of ⁇ - 1 ,4-linked D-mannuronic acid and ⁇ - 1 ,4-linked L- glucuronic acid. Depending on the species of kelp used in manufacturing, ratios of niannuronic acid to glucuronic acid content typically range from about 0.4 to about 0.9.
  • Alginic acid has an average molecular weight varying from about 10,000-600,000 and is widely used in the pharmaceutical field as a stabilizer, thickener, gelling agent and emulsifier. It is insoluble in water but its salts form thermally irreversible gels with water, the viscosity of which decreases at higher pH values.
  • Alginic acid derivatives are marketed, for example, by ISP alginates as white to yellowish brown filamentous, grainy, granular or powdered form under the trade names - KELACID®, ALGINIC ACID HF/D, ALGINIC ACID DC, KELTONE® LVCR, KELTONE® HVCR, MANUCOL® LKX, MANUCOL LB, MANUCOL DMF, KELCOSOL®, MANUGEL® DMB, KELCOLOID® LVF, MANUCOL ESTER ERK, Improved KELMAR®, KELTOSE ®, and many others.

  • the amount of alginic acid derivative may vary from about 5% to about 98% by weight of the total weight of core, from about 19% to about 86%, or from about 30% to about 55%, or from about 40% to about 50%.
  • One of the important factors in achieving effective hydration and thereby controlled swelling of the alginic acid derivative is proper dispersion of individual particles into the core. Poor dispersion may lead to the formation of large lumps of unhydrated alginic acid derivative and significantly extend the hydration and swelling time, producing erratic drug release profiles.
  • One way of achieving proper dispersion of alginic acid derivative particles is blending with an osmotic agent, which diminishes its tendency to form lumps. Further, the osmotic agent may be used to manipulate the viscosity of the dispersion of poorly soluble drug formed in the core, and also to manipulate drug release profile.

  • a combination of cellulose acetates with different degrees of acetylation may be used as membrane forming polymer. As the degree of acetylation of cellulose acetate increases, permeability of the membrane decreases. In particular, a combination of cellulose acetates having acetyl content in the range of about 8% to about 50% may be used. Further, other coating additives may be combined with the membrane forming polymers to adjust the permeability to our choice. Controlling membrane thickness also helps to manipulate the permeability of the membrane, which may vary from about 3% to about 40% weight build up over the weight of core.
