Problems solved by technology

However, the solubility of exenatide in methanol is limited. If you want to increase the drug loading capacity, you must increase the temperature or long-term oscillating ultrasonic treatment, which intensifies the denaturation of the peptide.
In the report of Li, Xingang et al. Application of model-based methods to characterize exenatide-loaded double-walled microspheres: In vivo release, pharmacokinetic / pharmacodynamic model, and in vitro and in vivo correlation (see Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2012, 10 (101), 3946-3961), exenatide and polymer are simultaneously dissolved in a mixed solvent of dichloromethane / methanol and then emulsified with the external water phase to form microspheres, and the dissolution rate of the polymer is greatly reduced
The problems in these methods are either that the drug is difficult to dissolve in the solvent, or that the polymer is difficult to dissolve in the solvent, so that the polypeptide drug is denatured in the dissolution process of the organic solvent, or the dissolution time of the polymer in the solvent is longer, and the organic Solvent volatilization makes it difficult to reproduce the process of polymer concentration change, which eventually causes problems such as affecting the physical and chemical properties of the preparation
In addition, due to the limitation of drug solubility, it is difficult to increase the drug loading of microspheres.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutic preparations, and discloses an improved method for preparing exenatide sustained release microspheres and exenatide sustained release microspheres prepared by the method. In the method of the invention, after being dissolved in dichloromethane, a polymer is mixed with methanol solution;after quicker dissolving of the polymer is guaranteed, exenatide or exenatide and protective agent are added, so that the dissolving speed of the exenatide and the polymer is quickened, the contact time of the exenatide with organic solvent and the volatilization loss of solvent in the polymer dissolving process are reduced, and the solubility of the exenatide in oil phase is largely improved. The method improves the drug loading capacity, reduces the degradation of drugs in the preparation process, simplifies the process, and shortens the preparation period.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to an improved method for preparing exenatide sustained-release microspheres. Background technique [0002] Sustained-release microspheres are an important sustained-release drug delivery system. By encapsulating the active ingredient in the polymer, the active ingredient can be released from the microspheres stably for a long time, so as to achieve the purpose of slow release and controlled release. [0003] There are many methods for the preparation of microspheres that have been reported, such as solvent evaporation, phase separation, spray drying, low temperature spray extraction and so on. [0004] The basic steps of the phase separation method are: dissolve or disperse the drug into a suspension or emulsion in the polymer material solution, and increase the solubility of the polymer material by lowering the temperature, adjusting the pH value, or adding a dehydratin...
