Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of drug production, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a compound zinc cloth sheet. Background Art
[0002] Compound zinc cloth sheet is a compound preparation used to relieve cold symptoms, including three main ingredients: ibuprofen, zinc gluconate and chlorpheniramine maleate.
[0003] Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces prostaglandin synthesis by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby exerting antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. However, its poor water solubility (needle-shaped crystals) and low solubility limit its bioavailability.
[0004] The zinc ions in zinc gluconate can inhibit viral replication, enhance immune cell activity, and shorten the course of colds. As a strong base and weak acid salt, it is highly water-soluble, but its effect on alleviating cold symptoms when used alone is limited.
[0005] Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine that relieves allergic symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose by blocking H1 receptors. It is moderately water-soluble but requires simultaneous release with other ingredients to achieve a synergistic effect.
[0006] The combined use of ibuprofen, zinc gluconate and chlorpheniramine maleate can comprehensively relieve symptoms such as fever, pain, and nasal congestion, but the problem of asynchronous release of different ingredients in the gastrointestinal tract needs to be solved to achieve the best synergistic effect. Summary of the Invention
[0007] Currently, granules dominate the market for compound preparations with ibuprofen, chlorpheniramine maleate, and zinc gluconate as core ingredients. The technical research and development of this dosage form focuses on three main areas: improving palatability through flavor correction technology, optimizing the formulation process to enhance stability, and constructing a multi-component synergistic release system. Compared to traditional tablets, granules offer significant advantages in achieving simultaneous dissolution of the three main components, and their dispersed delivery characteristics are more conducive to the simultaneous release of active ingredients with different solubilities. Furthermore, granules excel in patient compliance, and their modulatable fluid form meets the swallowing needs of both children and adults.
[0008] However, there are still several technical bottlenecks in compound zinc cloth granules that need to be overcome: first, the inherent hydrophobic properties of ibuprofen make it difficult to dissolve in aqueous media, and drug adsorption and loss are prone to occur during the oral administration process, which directly affects the bioavailability; second, the significant bitter taste of this ingredient exacerbates the resistance of patients (especially children) to taking the medicine; third, the current formulation contains too high a proportion of sucrose as the main filler (usually 50%-70%), which seriously limits the medication options for diabetic patients.
[0009] To address these shortcomings, tablet dosage form development offers unique advantages: its direct solid administration method avoids drug loss during the dissolution process, while novel excipient systems enable sugar-free formulations. However, the key technical challenge in tablet development lies in constructing a multi-component simultaneous release system—requiring innovative formulation processes to ensure balanced dissolution kinetics of the water-soluble zinc gluconate, the moderately soluble chlorpheniramine maleate, and the poorly soluble ibuprofen in the gastrointestinal tract.
[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a compound zinc cloth sheet. The preparation method provided by the present invention is a conventional wet granulation process, which is simple and easy to implement. The prepared compound zinc cloth sheet has a fast disintegration speed, high release efficiency and stable product quality.
[0011] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions to achieve its purpose:
[0012] A method for preparing a composite zinc cloth sheet comprises the following steps:
[0013] The zinc gluconate and chlorpheniramine maleate raw materials were crushed and sieved through 80 mesh to increase the dissolution rate of the drugs in vivo, thereby improving the bioavailability of each component. The mass ratio of ibuprofen, zinc gluconate and chlorpheniramine maleate was 75:50:1.
[0014] Corn starch, dextrin and purified water are prepared into a 7%-8% mixed paste as a binder. Dextrin can make up for the lack of viscosity of starch as a binder. The disintegration property of starch can ensure the rapid release of the drug through secondary disintegration. The mass ratio of corn starch to dextrin is between 3:1 and 3:2.
[0015] The crushed and sieved zinc gluconate, chlorpheniramine maleate, ibuprofen, filler and disintegrant are dry-mixed, and a binder is added after mixing for wet granulation. During the wet granulation process, the binder fixes the different components inside the granules, solving the problem of stratification caused by large differences in density and particle size of the components in the compound preparation;
[0016] The particles are dried and granulated, and then evenly mixed with an external disintegrant, a lubricant and a glidant, and then tabletted to obtain a compound zinc cloth tablet. The internal and external disintegrants are added to ensure the disintegration rate of the tablet.
[0017] Preferably, the compound zinc cloth sheet comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 35% to 45% of raw materials, 45% to 55% of fillers, 2% to 5% of binders, 3% to 7% of disintegrants, 0.5% to 2% of lubricants, and 0.1% to 1.5% of glidants;
[0018] Preferably, the filler comprises lactose, and / or corn starch, and / or microcrystalline cellulose, and / or dextrin.
[0019] Preferably, the disintegrant comprises corn starch, and / or sodium starch glycolate, and / or cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0020] Preferably, the lubricant is magnesium stearate, and the glidant is one of silicon dioxide and talc.
[0021] Preferably, in the present invention, the ibuprofen particle size distribution D 50 ≤70μm.
[0022] Preferably, in the present invention, the hardness of the composite zinc cloth sheet is preferably 80 to 110N.
[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0024] The product prepared by the method of the present invention has good quality stability and dissolution effect, and the process is common and suitable for commercial production. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
