[0068] 1000 MR antagonist tablets were prepared according to the prescription in Table 1. The specific steps are as follows:

[0069] (1) Pretreatment of API: Finerenone API was micronized using a jet mill to a corresponding particle size.

[0070] (2) Preparation of suspension: Dissolve hydroxypropyl cellulose and Tween 20 in 100 mL of 75°C water, then add 15 mL of room temperature water to dissolve and cool. After dissolution, add fenarezone and stir until the raw materials are evenly dispersed to obtain a stable suspension.

[0071] (3) Fluidized bed granulation: Add microcrystalline cellulose, dextrin, croscarmellose sodium, and talc into a fluidized bed, control the material temperature at 35°C for granulation and drying, and use a fast finishing machine equipped with a 1.0 mm screen to granulate after drying to obtain drug granules.

[0072] (4) Mixing: Place the drug granules and magnesium stearate in a square cone mixer and mix for 10 min until uniform.

[0073] (5) Tableting and coating: The granules obtained in step (4) were added to a high-speed tablet press for tableting, and the tablet hardness was controlled to 6 kg; a coating solution with a solid content of 10% (aqueous solution of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) was prepared, and the tablets were sieved through an 80-mesh sieve and then coated, and the mass of the coating layer was controlled to be 4% of the mass of the drug core tablets to obtain MR antagonist tablets.

[0083] According to Tables 2 and 3, when finerenone is micronized to an average particle size of less than 10 μm, the material fluidity and mixing uniformity are good, and the dissolution curve is similar to that of the reference preparation. Therefore, when the average particle size of finerenone is less than 10 μm, the dissolution requirements can be met and the dissolution is stable.

A coating solution (aqueous solution of talc) with a solid content of 10% was prepared, and the tablets were sieved through an 80-mesh sieve and then coated. The coating layer weight was controlled to be 4% of the drug core weight to obtain MR antagonist tablets.

[0094] Test Example 2: Mixing uniformity, fluidity, and dissolution curve testing

[0095] Mixing uniformity detection: The mixing uniformity samples taken in the mixing process of Examples 2 and 4 were detected by HPLC. The qualified standard of mixing uniformity was RSD≤5.0%.

[0096] Fluidity test: Use a powder tester to test the angle of repose of the filler.

[0097] Dissolution curve testing: According to the second method of Part 0931 of the General Rules of the 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia, using 900 mL of pH 4.5 phosphate buffer as the dissolution medium at a rotation speed of 50 rpm, 10 mL of the solution was collected at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes.

[0101]

[0102] As can be seen from Tables 5 and 6, the binder and the API were co-formulated into a suspension and added in the form of a spray for fluidized bed granulation. The mixing uniformity was good and the dissolution was significantly similar to that of the reference preparation after the addition of the binder powder, which was beneficial for bioequivalence.

[0103] Examples 5-6

[0104] The formulations of the drug tablet cores of Examples 5 to 6 are the same as those of Example 2 (as shown in Table 7), except that the fluidized bed granulation temperatures are different. The effects of different fluidized bed granulation temperatures on the dissolution curves of the drug tablets were investigated.

[0110] (3) Fluidized bed granulation: Microcrystalline cellulose, dextrin, and croscarmellose sodium were mixed using a square cone mixer at 10 rpm for 5 min. After uniform mixing, the materials were added to a fluidized bed. The material temperature was controlled at 30-35°C (Example 5) and 35-40°C (Example 6) for granulation and drying. After drying, the granules were sized using a fast finishing machine equipped with a 1.0 mm sieve to obtain drug granules.

[0111] (4) Mixing: The drug granules and magnesium stearate were placed in a square cone mixer and mixed for 10 minutes until uniform.

[0112] (5) Tableting and Coating: The granules obtained in step (4) were added to a high-speed tablet press for tableting, and the tablet hardness was controlled to 6 kg. A coating solution (aqueous solution of red iron oxide) with a solid content of 10% was prepared, and the tablets were passed through an 80-mesh sieve and coated. The coating layer weight was controlled to be 4% of the weight of the drug core tablets to obtain MR antagonist tablets.

[0113] Test Example 3: Mixing uniformity, fluidity and dissolution curve testing

[0114] Mixing uniformity detection: The mixing uniformity samples taken in the mixing process of Examples 5 and 6 were detected by HPLC. The qualified standard of mixing uniformity was RSD≤5.0%.

[0115] Fluidity test: Use a powder tester to test the angle of repose of the filler.

[0116] Dissolution curve testing: According to the second method of Part 0931 of the General Rules of the 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia, using 900 mL of pH 4.5 phosphate buffer as the dissolution medium at a rotation speed of 50 rpm, 10 mL of the solution was collected at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes. The solution was then supplemented with the same volume of dissolution medium at the same temperature. The solution was filtered through a microporous membrane, and the filtrate was used as the test solution. The test results for each batch are shown in Tables 8 and 9.

[0117] Table 8 Mixing uniformity and fluidity test results of Examples 2 and 5-6

[0119] Table 9 Dissolution curve test results of Examples 2 and 5-6

[0120]

[0121] According to Tables 8 and 9, it can be seen that when the fluidized bed granulation material temperature is controlled at 30-40 °C, the material mixing uniformity and fluidity are good, and the prepared drug tablets and the reference preparation dissolution fitting meet the requirements. Increasing the fluidized bed granulation temperature will reduce the fluidity of the mixture, the mixing uniformity will deteriorate, the dissolution will slow down, and the dissolution similarity with the reference preparation will decrease.

[0122] Examples 7 to 9

[0123] The formulations of the drug core tablets of Examples 7 to 9 are the same as those of Example 2 (as shown in Table 10), except that the coating weight gains are different, and the effects of different coating weight gains on the dissolution curves of the drug tablets are investigated.

[0134] Dissolution curve testing: According to the second method of Part 0931 of the fourth chapter of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition), 900 mL of pH 4.5 phosphate buffer was used as the dissolution medium at a rotation speed of 50 rpm. 10 mL of the solution was collected at 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 minutes, and the same volume of dissolution medium was added at the same temperature. The solution was filtered through a microporous membrane, and the filtrate was used as the test solution. The dissolution results for each batch are shown in Table 11.

[0136]

[0137]

[0138] According to Table 11, it can be seen that when the coating weight gain is controlled at 3-5%, the dissolution fitting of the prepared drug tablets and the reference preparation meets the requirements. Increasing or decreasing the coating weight gain will reduce the dissolution similarity between the drug tablets and the reference.

[0139] It can be seen from the above examples that the MR antagonist tablet API provided by the present invention can be uniformly dispersed and has good mixing uniformity. The in vitro dissolution of different specifications of the drug tablets is well matched with the reference preparation, meeting clinical needs.

[0140] Although the above embodiment provides a detailed description of the present invention, it is only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Other embodiments can be obtained based on this embodiment without creativity, and these embodiments all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
