Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a composition, in particular to an L-theanine composition. Background Art

[0002] Theanine is a free amino acid unique to tea leaves. It was first isolated and extracted from green tea in 1950. It belongs to the amide class of compounds and its chemical name is N-ethyl-L-glutamine. The process of extracting L-theanine from tea leaves involves multiple steps, including extraction, purification, and separation of the target substance. Errors in any step may lead to contamination of the target substance or the production of non-target impurities, such as pyroglutamic acid. For example, in the process of converting glutamic acid to theanine by chemical synthesis, side reactions may occur, leading to the production of impurities such as pyroglutamic acid; in the process of synthesizing L-theanine using microorganisms, genetically engineered strains may express other enzymes related to theanine synthesis but not the target product when expressing the target enzyme, which may lead to the production of impurities such as pyroglutamic acid. Therefore, pyroglutamic acid itself will exist as a secondary impurity in the final L-theanine product, thereby reducing the purity and quality of the product.

[0003] Furthermore, since L-theanine is highly soluble in water, it is unstable under both acidic and alkaline conditions and will be hydrolyzed to form the impurity pyroglutamic acid, which will also affect the stability of L-theanine products, causing the quality of the products to deteriorate during long-term storage. At the same time, when its content exceeds certain prescribed standards, it will cause safety issues, such as allergic reactions and digestive system problems.

[0004] At present, L-theanine can be used as a food additive and cosmetic raw material in food, health care products and skin care products, but there is no drug with L-theanine as an active ingredient on the market. After investigation, L-theanine itself has high stability, but its compatibility with most excipients is poor, which will cause the pyroglutamic acid in the preparation to exceed the pharmacopoeia standard, thus affecting its development and listing as a drug. For example, when conducting stability studies on L-theanine preparations, it is necessary to study the influencing factors under conditions of high temperature, high humidity, light, etc. for 10 days. Usually, the development fails because the pyroglutamic acid increases too quickly and exceeds the quality requirements.

[0005] Developing an L-theanine composition that meets pharmacopoeia standards is the key to whether L-theanine can be successfully marketed as a drug and benefit the people, so there is an urgent need to carry out relevant research. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition. The inventors have conducted in-depth exploration, selected specific excipients such as excipients, and carried out relevant ratio studies, and strictly controlled the types of excipients added and the amounts of raw excipients, thereby reducing the effects of the types and amounts of raw excipients on the acidity and alkalinity of the L-theanine preparation composition, avoiding or reducing the generation of impurities, and giving the drug higher stability, thereby obtaining an L-theanine preparation composition with good stability, effectiveness and safety, and meeting the pharmacopoeia standards. At the same time, the inventors carried out relevant pharmacodynamic experiments, confirming that the composition can be used to prepare drugs for preventing and / or treating vaginitis.

[0007] The invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition is placed at 60° C. for 10 days, the growth rate of pyroglutamic acid impurities is within 3 times, and the quality requirement of the pyroglutamic acid impurity content being below 1% is met; the L-theanine composition comprises L-theanine, an excipient, and magnesium stearate; wherein the mass proportion of L-theanine is 5%-30%; the excipient comprises one or more of pregelatinized starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol, colloidal silicon dioxide and / or a pH regulator, and the mass proportion of the excipient is 65%-94.9%; and the mass proportion of magnesium stearate is 0.1%-5%.

[0008] After in-depth exploration and long-term research, the inventors have found that under the conditions of conducting influencing factor tests in the drug development process of the L-theanine composition, especially when placed at a high temperature of 60°C for 10 days, the growth rate of pyroglutamic acid impurities is more than 3 times, and the quality requirement of the pyroglutamic acid impurity content being below 1% cannot be met. The inventors abandoned the development idea of ​​complex prescriptions, selected specific excipients and composition ratios, and solved the key problems that troubled drug developers and hindered product development in a simpler way, which has outstanding substantive characteristics and significant progress.

[0009] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition meets the quality requirement of a pyroglutamic acid impurity content of less than 0.5%, and the excipient is selected from pregelatinized starch, lactose, colloidal silicon dioxide and / or a pH regulator. After further research, the inventors selected specific excipients and screened out an L-theanine composition that has a pyroglutamic acid impurity growth rate of less than 3 times when placed at 60°C for 10 days and meets the high quality standard of a pyroglutamic acid impurity content of less than 0.5%, which has made a breakthrough in the successful listing of the composition.

[0010] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the pH value of the L-theanine composition is 5 to 7. It is well known that during the prescription screening and proportioning process of the composition, its pH value will vary greatly with the type and quantity of excipients. After long-term exploration, the inventors found that the stability of the L-theanine composition, especially the growth rate of pyroglutamic acid impurities, is highly correlated with the pH value of the composition. When the pH value of the L-theanine composition is 5 to 7, the stability of L-theanine in the composition can be improved, the impurity level is effectively reduced, and the requirements for the pyroglutamic acid impurity content in the present invention are met. At the same time, the phenomenon of increased impurity content after long-term storage is avoided, and it has higher drug stability, storage stability and safety.

[0011] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the mass proportion of L-theanine in the composition is 7% to 20%, the mass proportion of the excipient is 78% to 92.9%, and the mass proportion of magnesium stearate is 0.1% to 2%. After research, the inventor found that when the mass proportion of L-theanine in the composition is less than 7% or greater than 20%, the impurity content of pyroglutamic acid is relatively high. The ratio of the above-mentioned L-theanine composition can meet the need of the present invention to better control the impurity content of pyroglutamic acid.

[0012] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the mass proportion of L-theanine in the composition is 10% to 15%, the mass proportion of the excipient is 83.5% to 89.5%, and the mass proportion of magnesium stearate is 0.5% to 1.5%. After further exploration, the inventors have shown through confirmatory studies that this ratio range can fully guarantee the quality requirements of the L-theanine composition in the drug development process, which is of great significance.

[0013] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the weight ratio of L-theanine to excipient is 1:6-1:8. The present invention further meets the requirements of pH range and impurity content of the composition by selecting the type of excipient and the ratio with the active ingredient.

[0014] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition includes solid preparations, liquid preparations, semisolid preparations and / or gas preparations; solid preparations include pills, tablets, granules, powders, capsules, suppositories, films and / or lozenges; liquid preparations include mixtures, syrups, lotions, probes, injections, lotions and / or film coatings; semisolid preparations include ointments, gels and / or plasters; gas preparations include aerosols, sprays and / or powder sprays.

[0015] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition includes pills, tablets, granules, powders and / or capsules. After further screening by the inventors, the above dosage forms can better achieve the purpose of the present invention.

[0016] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition is used to prepare a drug for preventing and / or treating vaginitis. The present invention conducts a comparative study through rigorous animal experiments and uses a metronidazole vaginal gel group as a positive control group to verify the effect of the L-theanine composition on the vaginal pH value of a mixed vaginitis model in rats, the effect on vaginal Gram bacteria, vaginal cleanliness, vaginal Gardnerella, and vaginal Lactobacillus in a mixed vaginitis model in rats, etc., all of which produce unexpected positive effects, while maintaining high stability and high safety, and are comparable to the prevention and treatment effects of currently marketed chemical drugs. Therefore, the L-theanine composition can be used to prepare a drug for preventing and / or treating vaginitis.

[0017] Preferably, the present invention provides an L-theanine composition, wherein the L-theanine composition is for vaginal administration. The inventors have found that the L-theanine composition is for vaginal administration, and can fully exert its preventive and / or therapeutic effects on vaginitis and the like only through local administration.
