Definitions
- the present invention relates to fixed dosed pharmaceutical compositions comprising the three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) Amlodipine, Atorvastatin and Ramipril, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters, with improved stability for the treatment of hypertension and related diseases.
- APIs active pharmaceutical ingredients
- Amlodipine is the international nonproprietary name (INN) of (F?S)-3-ethyl-5-methyl-2-[(2- aminoethoxy)methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-6-methyl-1 ,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate with the following chemical structure:
- compositions of the calcium channel blocker (COB) Amlodipine in the modification of its benzene sulfonate (“besilate”) salt are registered and marketed under the trade name NORVASC ® for the treatment of, inter alia, hypertension.
- Atorvastatin is the INN of (3F?,5/ : ?)-7-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-3-phenyl-4-(phenylcarbamoyl)-5- propan-2-ylpyrrol-1 -yl]-3,5-dihydroxyheptanoic acid with the following chemical structure:
- compositions of the 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor Atorvastatin are registered and marketed under the trade names SORTIS ® and LIPITOR ® for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia and the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
- Ramipril is the INN of (2S,3aS,6aS)-1 -[(2S)-2-[[(2S)-1 -ethoxy-1 -oxo-4-phenylbutan-2- yl]amino]-propanoyl]-3,3a,4,5,6,6a-hexahydro-2H-cyclopenta-[b]pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid which has the following chemical structure:
- compositions of the Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor Ramipril are registered and marketed under the trade name DELIX ® for the treatment of, inter alia, cardiovascular disorders and hypertension.
- TRINOMIA ® Fixed-dosed pharmaceutical compositions comprising Atorvastatin, Ramipril and Acetylsalicylic acid are registered and marketed under the trade name TRINOMIA ® .
- TRINOMIA ® is not a uniform pharmaceutical dosage form, but a capsule which contains, depending on the strengths, three or even more film-coated immediate release tablets.
- one active ingredient may be incompatible with another API or the stability of one active ingredient may be affected due to its incompatibility with an excipient that is commonly used in order to stabilize another API.
- Amlodipine is known to be incompatible with the excipient lactose, rendering the composition of SORTIS ® unsuitable to serve as a basis for a fixed dose combination of Atorvastatin and Amlodipine.
- Amlodipine besilate being weakly basic, is highly hygroscopic and sensitive to hydrolysis and the exposure to light. It exhibits physical properties as low bulk densities, poor flow or uniformity of dosage units. It is also susceptible to static electricity and highly cohesive. Amlodipine besilate is slightly soluble in water and has an absolute bioavailability of 64-90%. The formation of its main degradant is enhanced at low pH-values.
- Ramipril is weakly acidic in nature and its main degradant ramipril- diketopiperazine (“DKP”, also referred to as “impurity D”) is formed at high pH-values. Besides exhibiting certain undesirable flow characteristics such as stickiness, it is very sensitive to degradation under oxidative conditions and wherein moisture is present. In addition, the formation of DKP is increased by mechanical stress during the formulation of Ramipril.
- DKP main degradant ramipril- diketopiperazine
- CN 101612403 discloses medicinal combinations of calcium channel blockers, ACE inhibitors and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
- ODT orally disintegrating tablets

- the fixed dosed pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention also exhibit excellent bioequivalence as compared to their respective brand products of the free combination as regards all three active substances.
- the fixed dosed immediate release pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention may be used in the treatment of hypertension and related diseases.
- compositions in the form of bilayer tablets comprising 5mg/5mg or 5mg/10mg or 10mg/10mg of Ramipril/Amlodipine in a first layer and 10mg or 20mg or 40mg of Atorvastatin in a second layer.
- two different layers may, in principal, be considered independent from each other. If the total weight of one layer is 285mg or more, the relative amount of Amlodipine besilate in the 10mg strength remains below 5wt.-% compared to the total weight of the layer. Provided this, there is no need to perform additional bioequivalence studies for a lower strength, e.g. the 5mg strength, if Amlodipine besilate is solely replaced by a filler so that the total weight of the layer remains constant.
- the total weight of the layer should not exceed 345mg because then the 5mg strength would contain less than 2wt.-% Amlodipine besilate compared to the total weight of the layer. Accordingly, the product would be considered as a “non-standard” product, resulting in the need of costly and thus undesirable re-validation if the batch size is changed.
- compositions with only 2.5mg of Amlodipine are not preferred embodiments of the present invention.
- the minimum weight of the layer of 285mg as set out above results in a Ramipril content of 3.5wt.-% compared to the total weight of the layer for the 10mg strength.
- Atorvastatin containing layer three different strengths (10mg, 20mg and 40mg) may be manufactured from a single pre-mix, i.e. only the total amount of the pre-mix is adapted between 100mg (for the 10mg strength), 200mg (for the 20mg strength) or 400mg (for the 40mg strength), i.e. the different strengths are weight-proportional.
- this“single pre-mix” approach renders the manufacturing process much more cost efficient.
- this approach does not suit for compositions comprising 80mg Atorvastatin since the corresponding Atorvastatin layer with a total weight of 800mg would result in tablets that are too heavy and too big.
- a“dose-proportional” approach for the Amlodipine besilate and Ramipril containing layer and a“weight-proportional” approach for the Atorvastatin containing layer is advantageous from a regulatory perspective because, for the reasons set out above, up to nine different combinations of strengths may be registered with only one bioequivalence study. In addition, all nine different combinations of strengths may be produced from only three pre-mixes (two pre-mixes of Amlodipine/Ramipril and one pre-mix of Atorvastatin), which renders both the product development and the manufacturing very cost efficient.
- a preferred embodiment of the present invention relates to a set of fixed dosed pharmaceutical compositions in the form of bilayer tablets, comprising 5mg/5mg, 5mg/10mg or 10mg/10mg of Amlodipine/Ramipril and 10mg, 20mg or 40mg of Atorvastatin.
- it relates to 5mg/5mg/10mg, 5mg/5mg/20mg, 5mg/5mg/40mg, 5mg/10mg/10mg,
- the actives should be combined in a way so that either all actives are incorporated in relatively low strengths or all actives are incorporated in relatively high strengths.
- the ratio of Amlodipine to Atorvastatin and Ramipril to Atorvastatin shall remain in the range from 1 :2 to 1 :4.
- a particular preferred set of fixed dosed pharmaceutical compositions according to the present invention comprise 5mg/5mg/10mg, 5mg/5mg/20mg, 5mg/10mg/20mg, 10mg/10mg/20mg and 10mg/10mg/40mg of Amlodipine/Ramipril/Atorvastatin.
- An overview of the preferred strengths is provided in table 4.
- the present invention also relates to fixed dosed immediate release pharmaceutical compositions in form of bilayer tablets for the treatment of hypertension, wherein the first layer comprises 5mg or 10mg Ramipril, 5mg or 10mg Amlodipine as Amlodipine besilate and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable binder(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable filler(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizer(s) and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable lubricant(s), and the second layer comprises 10mg, 20mg or 40mg Atorvastatin as Atorvastatin calcium, one or more pharmaceutically acceptable binder(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable filler(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizer(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable disintegrant(s), one or more pharmaceutically acceptable lubricant(s).
- the first layer comprises 5mg or 10mg Ramipril, 5mg or 10mg Amlodipine as Amlodipine besilate and one or more pharmaceutically acceptable binder(s
- the invention also relates to processes for the manufacture of uniform, stable pharmaceutical compositions comprising Amlodipine, Ramipril and Atorvastatin, or their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters.
- compositions according to the present invention may be manufactured by a process comprising the steps of: a) preparing a first mixture comprising Ramipril and Amlodipine besilate and a first set of excipients by means of wet granulation or dry mixing;

- step d) filling the product of step c) into capsules or compressing it into tablets, preferably into bilayer tablets.
- Example 1 Pharmaceutical compositions a) Preparation of the Ramipril and Amlodipine layer by wet granulation
- a first part (10%) of microcrystalline cellulose is passed through 0.8mm sieve of Quadro comill at 1700RPM, followed by a premix of Amlodipine besilate and Ramipril with 50% of the pregelatinized starch and 50% of the glyceryl behenate.
- the mill is then rinsed by passing a second part (10%) of microcrystalline cellulose (step 1 ).
- a high sheer mixer is saturated with the remaining third part (80%) of microcrystalline cellulose and the combined materials of step 1 are added and mixed (step 2).
- the binder solution containing hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose is added and granules are formed (step 3).
- the granules are then dried in a fluid bed dryer (step 4) and milled (step 5).
- Atorvastatin calcium is co-sifted with calcium carbonate and dry-mixed (step i). Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose and croscarmellose sodium are added and dry-mixed (step ii). A binder solution prepared by addition of dispensed polysorbate 80 into a solution of hydroxypropyl cellulose and purified water is added to the mixture obtained in step ii and wet granulated (step iii).
- the granules are then dried in a fluid bed dryer (step iv), sifted and milled (step v).
- the dried Atorvastatin granules are then blended with microcrystalline cellulose and croscarmellose sodium (step vi) and finally lubricated with sodium stearyl fumarate (step vii).
- the Ramipril-Amlodipine part and the Atorvastatin part are compressed into a bilayer tablet (step 8), optionally film coated (step 8a) and packed into Alu-Alu blisters (step 9).
- the respective quantities are displayed in table 7.
- Table 7 Table 7
- uBR Rapril tabs
- ICH Q 3 B USP (Atorvastatin + Amlodipine tabs)
- Exemplary batches of tablets containing 10mg Amlodipine, 10mg Ramipril and 40mg Atorvastatin and 5mg Amlodipine, 10mg Ramipril and 20mg Atorvastatin are submitted to dissolution studies under standard conditions as displayed in table 9.
- Tables 10 and 1 1 , figs. 1 and 2 indicate that the in-vitro-dissolution profiles for all actives are not only similar to the respective branded product, but also do not change significantly after having been submitted to stability testing.
- table 12 additional data such as disintegration time, hardness and friability of an exemplary batch of tablets are displayed.
- a first premix (premix I) is prepared by saturating a blender with a first part of the microcrystalline cellulose (55% w/w) (step 1 a), followed by addition of Ramipril, glyceryl behenate, calcium hydrogen phosphate, pregelatinized starch and HPMC (step 2a) and mixing (step 3a).
- a second premix (premix II) is prepared by saturating a blender with a second part of the microcrystalline cellulose (45% w/w) (step 1 b), followed by addition of Amlodipine besilate and sodium starch glycolate (step 2b) and mixing (step 3b).
- Premix I and premix II are then blended and dry mixed (step 4a). Finally, the blend is submitted to lubrication (step 5a).
- the Atorvastatin layer is prepared as described in example 1 b.
- the bilayer tablet is prepared as described in example 1 c.
- BP Rapril tabs
- Table 16 and fig. 3 indicate that the in-vitro-dissolution profiles for all actives are not only similar to the respective branded product, but also do not change significantly after having been submitted to stability testing.
