Examples
example 1
[0161] Fingolimod tablets that disintegrate quickly can be manufactured by dissolving fingolimod in an aqueous solution of lactitol. The solution was sprayed on mannitol and then dried. The resulting product is sieved and blended with other excipients before being compressed into lozenges. These lozenges should have the following composition:
[0162] Fingolimod HCl
0.56mg*
20mg
177.44mg
2mg
[0163] *Equivalent to 0.5mg Fingolimod
[0164] These lozenges are placed in a humidity chamber and exposed to 85% relative humidity at 25°C to 30°C for about 6 hours. After humidification, the tablets are dried for about 6 hours at about 40°C to 45°C and 30% relative humidity.
example 2
[0166] Fingolimod tablets can be manufactured by dissolving fingolimod in an aqueous solution of lactitol and mannitol. The solution is spray dried to produce a solid powder. The resulting product is blended with lubricant and compressed into lozenges. These lozenges should have the following composition:
[0167] Fingolimod HCl
0.56mg*
20mg
177.44mg
2mg
[0168] *Equivalent to 0.5mg Fingolimod
[0169] These lozenges are placed in a humidity chamber and exposed to 85% relative humidity at 25°C to 30°C for about 6 hours. After humidification, the tablets are dried for about 6 hours at about 40°C to 45°C and 30% relative humidity.
[0170] The moisturized and dried lozenges should exhibit a hardness greater than 2.5 kilolbs, a brittleness of less than 2%, and should disintegrate in less than 60 seconds when placed in a USP disintegration device.
example 3
[0172] Fast disintegrating fingolimod lozenges can be produced by freeze-drying an aqueous solution of gelatin, lactitol and mannitol. The solution is transferred to a heat-formed bubble holder and freeze-dried to form a lozenge. These lozenges should have the following composition:
[0173] Fingolimod HCl
[0174] These bubble trays were freeze-dried at a shelf temperature of -45°C. The resulting product was then thermally dried for four hours at a shelf temperature of 50°C to 55°C.
