Embodiment 1-3

[0032] These examples demonstrate that the use of TPGS as a plasticizer in an acetone solvent system improves the % elongation of polymer films. The use of TPGS as a plasticizer strongly affects cellulose acetate butyrate films. Using TPGS as a plasticizer, especially in the range of 20 to 30 wt%, can enhance the elongation. The film also showed improvement when TPGS was used as a secondary plasticizer. The cellulose acetate butyrate polymer films tested showed a higher % stretch than the cellulose acetate polymer films. The results are listed in Tables I-III below.

Embodiment 4-6

[0040] In Examples 4-6, all films showed a decrease in tensile strength when plasticizer was used. This decrease in tensile strength is directly related to the amount of plasticizer used. The results are listed in Tables IV-VI below.

Embodiment 7-9

[0048]Examples 7-9 demonstrate the stability of the films in nitrogen. The stability of the films was examined using thermogravitmetric analysis, which refers to the temperature at which each film sample loses 10% of its weight. It can be seen that in cellulose acetate polymer (CA398-10NF), in the acetone / water solvent system, TPGS outperformed PEG 1000 at all concentration levels and was substantially equal to the performance of PEG 1000 in the acetone solvent system. The results are presented in Tables VII-IX below.

Abstract

An enteric coating for a solid pharmaceutical carrier or substrate wherein the enteric coating includes a cellulosic polymeric material selected from selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, methyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate phthalate, cellulose acetate succinate, cellulose acetate propionate, cellulose acetate trimellitate, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose phthalate, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose succinate, hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose acetate succinate, cellulose acetate succinate butyrate, cellulose acetate succinate propionate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, cellulose butyrate, and mixtures thereof and a plasticizer selected from a water-soluble preparation of a fat-soluble vitamin. A preferred plasticizer is Vitamin E polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to drug delivery, and more particularly, to an enteric coating of a pharmaceutical dosage form for oral administration of a drug. More specifically, the enteric coating comprises cellulose ester into which a tocopherol derivative has been mixed as a plasticizer. [0002] Cellulose esters are well known in the art, e.g. for the preparation of cellulose esters, see Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th Edition, Volume 5, pages 496-529, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference This article. Cellulose esters are widely used in various commercial applications. For example, US Patent 6,828,089 discloses the application of cellulose esters in photographic film; US Patent 6,828,006 discloses the application of cellulose esters in liquid crystal displays; US Patent 6,821,602 discloses the application of cellulose esters in magnetic recording media. [0003] Enteric coatings of pharmaceutically accep...
