AI Technical Summary
Existing hypoglycemic drugs have unsatisfactory hypoglycemic effects during treatment, cannot stably control blood sugar levels in the long term, and do not provide sufficient protection for pancreatic islet cells and kidney function, leading to increased blood sugar fluctuations and complications. At the same time, immediate-release formulations lack precise sustained-release regulation, resulting in unstable blood drug concentrations.
A combination of empagliflozin, cinnamon extract, microcrystalline cellulose, HPMC K100M, ethyl cellulose, Eudragit FS30D, soybean lecithin, and poloxamer 188 was prepared into nanoparticle powder through high-pressure homogenization and freeze-drying. The nanoparticles were then combined to maintain their nanostructure stability, forming sustained-release and immediate-release layers. Enteric coating materials were then used to achieve phased release.
It achieves phased release in the gastrointestinal tract.
Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of hypoglycemic drug preparation, and more particularly relates to a hypoglycemic drug composition and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Diabetic patients are in a high blood sugar state for a long time, which can lead to various complications such as diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, neuropathy, cardiovascular disease, and seriously affect the quality of life and life span of patients. In the treatment process, existing hypoglycemic drugs often have many limitations. Some drugs have unsatisfactory hypoglycemic effect and are difficult to stably control blood glucose level for a long time; some drugs can lower blood glucose, but are insufficient in protecting islet cells and kidney function, and even can aggravate the damage of islet cells and the burden of kidney, and increase the risk of complications such as diabetic nephropathy. For example, some sulfonylurea drugs can cause further deterioration of islet cell function; some insulin sensitizers can have adverse effects on the kidney. Moreover, most drugs can cause blood glucose fluctuation, and further cause oxidative stress damage.
[0003] Moreover, in the drug release process, the drug release of immediate-release preparations (such as ordinary tablets and capsules) depends on simple disintegration and dissolution, and lacks precise sustained-release control mechanism. For example, metformin ordinary tablets disintegrate rapidly after entering the gastrointestinal tract, and the drug is released in a large amount in a short time, resulting in rapid increase of blood drug concentration (which can cause gastrointestinal irritation such as nausea and diarrhea); and the drug concentration rapidly decreases in the later stage of release, and effective therapeutic concentration cannot be maintained, the “peak-valley effect” is significant, and the stable release effect required by sustained release cannot be achieved. SUMMARY
[0004] The application provides a hypoglycemic drug composition and application thereof to solve the above problems.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the application adopts the following technical solutions. The application provides a hypoglycemic drug composition, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: empagliflozin 5-7 parts, cinnamon extract 30-40 parts, metformin 500-700 parts, microcrystalline cellulose 60-80 parts, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone 10-15 parts, HPMC K100M 100-120 parts, ethyl cellulose 50-60 parts, Eudragit FS30D 40-50 parts, soybean phospholipid 40-50 parts, and poloxamer 188 10-20 parts.
[0006] Further, the pharmaceutical composition comprises the following components in the optimal weight parts: 6 parts of empagliflozin, 35 parts of cinnamon extract, 600 parts of metformin, 65 parts of microcrystalline cellulose, 10 parts of cross-linked povidone, 120 parts of HPMC K100M, 55 parts of ethyl cellulose, 45 parts of Eudragit FS30D, 45 parts of soybean phospholipid, and 18 parts of poloxamer 188.
[0007] Compared with the prior art, the empagliflozin and metformin are creatively added with the cinnamon extract, because the inventor accidentally finds that the addition of the cinnamon extract can reduce the side effects of the empagliflozin and metformin, reduce the bacterial flora disorder and osmotic diarrhea caused by the empagliflozin and metformin tablets. The invention proves that the cinnamon extract can significantly reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions related to the empagliflozin and metformin tablets, and directly reduce the infection probability caused by the increase of urine sugar. Meanwhile, the inventor also finds that the addition of the cinnamon extract can reduce the accumulation of the metformin in the renal tubules, reduce the risk of lactic acidosis, and effectively protect the kidney function. Therefore, the empagliflozin, the cinnamon extract and the metformin are combined in the invention, which can effectively reduce blood sugar, protect the gastrointestinal tract, protect the pancreatic beta cells and the kidney function.
[0008] The second aspect of the invention provides an application of the pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a blood sugar reducing sustained-release tablet.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the above pharmaceutical composition is used in the preparation of the blood sugar reducing sustained-release tablet, which provides a theoretical basis for the research and development of the blood sugar reducing sustained-release tablet, and ensures the slow and phased release of the components.
[0010] The third aspect of the invention provides a preparation method of a blood sugar reducing sustained-release tablet, and the preparation process is as follows: Step one, each component is weighed according to the ratio of the pharmaceutical composition; Step two, the cinnamon extract, the soybean phospholipid and the poloxamer 188 are mixed, an ethanol-water mixed solvent is added, high-pressure homogenization, rotary evaporation and freeze-drying are performed, and a nanoparticle powder is obtained; Step three, the microcrystalline cellulose is granulated, the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose aqueous solution of the nanoparticle powder is added, and coating treatment is performed to obtain a drug-loaded pellet core; then the cross-linked povidone and the lactose are dissolved in an ethanol solution, and the solution is uniformly sprayed on the surface of the drug-loaded pellet core to form a fast-release pellet core; Step four, the Eudragit FS30D and the triethyl citrate are dispersed in pure water to form a coating liquid, and the pellet core is coated to obtain an enteric-coated pellet; Step five, the metformin, the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and the ethyl cellulose are mixed and melted to form a matrix; then the melted sustained-release matrix is uniformly coated on the surface of the enteric-coated pellet to form a sustained-release enteric-coated pellet; Step six, mixing the sustained-release enteric micro-pellets with magnesium stearate, tabletting, coating, to obtain the blood sugar lowering sustained-release tablets.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, in the preparation of the blood sugar lowering sustained-release tablets, the cinnamon extract is prepared into nanoparticles with the aid of soybean phospholipid and poloxamer 188, the nanostructure stability is maintained through high-pressure homogenization and freeze-drying processes, the solubility and dispersibility of the fat-soluble components can be significantly improved, the intestinal absorption is promoted, and the bioavailability is improved. The part of the drug can be rapidly released by the fast-release layer formed by the cross-linked povidone and lactose as high-efficiency disintegrants, the postprandial hyperglycemia is rapidly responded, and the rapid effect is achieved; metformin can be continuously and slowly released by the sustained-release layer formed by the melting coating of HPMC and EC as the sustained-release matrix, the stable blood drug concentration is maintained, the blood glucose fluctuation is avoided to be too large, and long-acting sugar control is achieved. The enteric layer formed by Eudragit FS30D (enteric coating material) and triethyl citrate (plasticizer) can make the micro-pellets not dissolved or slightly dissolved in the acidic gastric juice, and a large amount of drug can be released in the intestinal environment. The synergistic effect of the sustained-release matrix (HPMC, EC) and the enteric coating can significantly prolong the drug release time, reduce the frequency of daily drug taking, and improve the convenience and compliance of the patients in taking the drug.
[0012] The sustained-release tablet prepared by the above method has, from the inside to the outside, the effective component of cinnamon extract, metformin and empagliflozin. After the medicine enters the human body, the slow-release matrix layer starts to slowly release the medicine tablet into the stomach (acidic environment, pH 1-3). The outermost slow-release matrix layer (containing metformin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC and ethyl cellulose EC) first contacts with the gastric juice. HPMC forms a gel barrier when it comes into contact with water, and ethyl cellulose serves as an insoluble skeleton. Together, they make metformin slowly release from the slow-release layer through the mechanism of "matrix erosion + drug diffusion", and start to play a long-acting hypoglycemic effect. This stage is the "slow-release start". At this time, the inner layer of enteric coating Eudragit FS30D does not dissolve in the acidic gastric juice, protecting the inner immediate-release pellet core and the drug-loaded pellet core from being destroyed by the gastric environment. After the tablet enters the intestine, the enteric coating material Eudragit FS30D dissolves under alkaline conditions, exposing the inner immediate-release pellet core. The cross-linked povidone (high-efficiency disintegrating agent) on the surface of the immediate-release pellet core rapidly absorbs water and swells, driving the lactose (promoting dissolution) to rapidly disintegrate, releasing the inner drug-loaded pellet core. The cinnamon extract nanoparticle powder in the drug-loaded pellet core is modified by soybean phospholipid and poloxamer 188, and then quickly disperses and dissolves in the intestinal fluid. The nanoparticles improve the solubility of the fat-soluble components, are quickly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa, achieve "rapid onset", and this stage is the "peak of rapid release". The slow-release matrix layer (HPMC + ethyl cellulose) started in the stomach continues to slowly erode and diffuse the drug through the gel barrier when it enters the intestine, continuously releases metformin, maintains a stable blood drug concentration, avoids blood glucose fluctuations, achieves "long-acting glycemic control", and this stage is the "sustained-release maintenance".
[0013] Further, in step two, the mixing is stirring at 50-55°C under water bath conditions until complete dissolution.
[0014] Further, the volume ratio of ethanol to water in the ethanol-water mixed solvent is 6-10:2-5.
[0015] Further, the high-pressure homogenization is a cycle treatment of 3-5 times under a pressure of 800-1000 bar, and the particle size is controlled to be 200±50 nm.
[0016] Further, the rotary evaporation is evaporation to remove ethanol under the conditions of 40-45°C and a vacuum of -0.08~-0.06 MPa, to obtain a concentrated solution.
[0017] Further, the freeze-drying is adding mannitol with a final mass fraction of 5% to the concentrated solution, pre-freezing for 2-3 h at -40~-50°C, and then freeze-drying under the conditions of -20~-30°C and a vacuum degree of 0.1-0.3 mbar for 40-50 h.
[0018] Further, in step three, the coating process is set to an inlet air temperature of 45-50℃, an atomization pressure of 1.0-1.2 bar, and a spraying rate of 5-8 mL / min, and a bottom-spray coating is performed until the weight gain is 30-40%.
[0019] Further, the mass fraction of the ethanol solution is 10-15%, and the mass ratio of the cross-linked povidone, lactose, and ethanol solution is 1g:2-3g:10ml.
[0020] Further, in step four, the coating process is set to an inlet air temperature of 38-42℃, a material temperature of 33-38℃, and a spraying rate of 3-4 g / min, and a bottom-spray coating is performed until the weight gain is 15-20%.
[0021] Further, in step five, the mixing and melting are set to 80-85℃ and 200-300 rpm.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the above coating process and drying parameters can further improve the sustained-release effect of the sustained-release tablets. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in a clear and complete manner. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0024] During the treatment process, existing hypoglycemic drugs often have many limitations. Some drugs have unsatisfactory hypoglycemic effect and are difficult to stably control blood glucose levels for a long time; some drugs can lower blood glucose, but are insufficient in protecting islet cells and kidney function, and may even aggravate the damage to islet cells and the burden on the kidneys, increasing the risk of complications such as diabetic nephropathy. For example, some sulfonylurea drugs may cause further deterioration of islet cell function; some insulin sensitizers may have adverse effects on the kidneys. Moreover, most drugs cause blood glucose fluctuations, which in turn causes oxidative stress damage.
[0025] Moreover, in the drug release process, the drug release of immediate-release preparations (such as ordinary tablets and capsules) depends on simple disintegration and dissolution, and lacks precise sustained-release control mechanisms. For example, metformin ordinary tablets disintegrate rapidly after entering the gastrointestinal tract, and the drug is released in large amounts in a short time, resulting in a rapid increase in blood drug concentration (which may cause gastrointestinal irritation, such as nausea and diarrhea); and the drug concentration rapidly decreases in the later stage of release, which cannot maintain an effective therapeutic concentration, and the “peak-valley effect” is significant, failing to achieve the stable release effect required for sustained release.
[0026] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, in a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide a hypoglycemic pharmaceutical composition, the pharmaceutical composition comprising the following components in parts by weight: empagliflozin 5-7 parts, cinnamon extract 30-40 parts, metformin 500-700 parts, microcrystalline cellulose 60-80 parts, cross-linked povidone 10-15 parts, HPMC K100M 100-120 parts, ethyl cellulose 50-60 parts, Eudragit FS30D 40-50 parts, soybean phospholipid 40-50 parts, and poloxamer 188 10-20 parts.
[0027] For example, a hypoglycemic pharmaceutical composition comprises: empagliflozin 6 parts, cinnamon extract 35 parts, metformin 600 parts, microcrystalline cellulose 65 parts, cross-linked povidone 10 parts, HPMC K100M 120 parts, ethyl cellulose 55 parts, Eudragit FS30D 45 parts, soybean phospholipid 45 parts, and poloxamer 188 18 parts.
[0028] For example, a hypoglycemic pharmaceutical composition comprises: empagliflozin 5 parts, cinnamon extract 30 parts, metformin 500 parts, microcrystalline cellulose 60 parts, cross-linked povidone 15 parts, HPMC K100M 100 parts, ethyl cellulose 50 parts, Eudragit FS30D 40 parts, soybean phospholipid 40 parts, and poloxamer 188 10 parts.
[0029] For example, a hypoglycemic pharmaceutical composition comprises: empagliflozin 7 parts, cinnamon extract 40 parts, metformin 700 parts, microcrystalline cellulose 80 parts, cross-linked povidone 12 parts, HPMC K100M 110 parts, ethyl cellulose 50 parts, Eudragit FS30D 50 parts, soybean phospholipid 50 parts, and poloxamer 188 20 parts.
[0030] When the above technical solution is used, the side effects of empagliflozin and metformin can be reduced, and the bacterial flora disorder and osmotic diarrhea caused by empagliflozin and metformin tablets can be reduced. The present application proves that the cinnamon extract can significantly reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal reactions related to empagliflozin and metformin tablets, and can directly reduce the probability of infection caused by increased urine sugar. At the same time, the inventors have found that the addition of the cinnamon extract can reduce the accumulation of metformin in the renal tubules, reduce the risk of lactic acidosis, and effectively protect the kidney function. Therefore, the combination of empagliflozin, cinnamon extract, and metformin in the present application can effectively lower blood sugar, protect the gastrointestinal tract, protect the pancreatic beta cells, and protect the kidney function.
[0031] In a second aspect, embodiments of the present application provide the use of the above-mentioned pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a hypoglycemic sustained-release tablet.
[0032] When the technical scheme is adopted, the pharmaceutical composition is used in preparation of the hypoglycemic sustained-release tablet, which provides a theoretical basis for research and development of the hypoglycemic sustained-release tablet, and ensures slow and phased release of components.
[0033] In a third aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a preparation method of the hypoglycemic sustained-release tablet, and the preparation process is as follows: Step one, each component is weighed according to the proportion of the pharmaceutical composition; Step two, the cinnamon extract, soybean phospholipid and poloxamer 188 are mixed, and then the ethanol-water mixed solvent is added, and high-pressure homogenization, rotary evaporation and freeze-drying are performed to obtain nanoparticle powder; Step three, the microcrystalline cellulose is granulated, and then the hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose aqueous solution of the nanoparticle powder is added, and coating treatment is performed to obtain a drug-loaded pellet core; then the cross-linked povidone and lactose are dissolved in an ethanol solution, and uniformly sprayed on the surface of the drug-loaded pellet core to form a fast-release pellet core; Step four, Eudragit FS30D and triethyl citrate are dispersed in pure water to form a coating liquid, and the pellet core is coated to obtain an enteric-coated pellet; Step five, metformin, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose and ethyl cellulose are mixed and melted to form a matrix; then the melted sustained-release matrix is uniformly coated on the surface of the enteric-coated pellet to form a sustained-release enteric-coated pellet; Step six, the sustained-release enteric-coated pellet is mixed with magnesium stearate, and then tableting and coating are performed to obtain the hypoglycemic sustained-release tablet.
[0034] When the technical scheme is adopted, the prepared sustained-release tablets have the effective components of cinnamon extract, metformin and empagliflozin from inside to outside. After the medicine enters the human body, the slow-release matrix layer starts to slowly release the medicine tablets into the stomach (acidic environment, pH 1-3). The outermost slow-release matrix layer (containing metformin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose HPMC and ethyl cellulose EC) first contacts with the gastric juice. HPMC forms a gel barrier when it contacts with water, and ethyl cellulose serves as an insoluble skeleton. The two together realize the slow release of metformin from the slow-release layer through the mechanism of “matrix erosion + drug diffusion”, and the long-acting hypoglycemic effect is started. This stage is the “slow-release start”. At this time, the inner enteric coating Eudragit FS30D does not dissolve in the acidic gastric juice, and protects the inner immediate-release pellet core and the drug-loaded pellet core from being damaged by the gastric environment. After the tablets enter the intestine, the enteric coating material Eudragit FS30D dissolves under alkaline conditions, exposing the inner immediate-release pellet core. The cross-linked povidone (high-efficiency disintegrating agent) on the surface of the immediate-release pellet core rapidly absorbs water and swells, driving the lactose (promoting dissolution) to rapidly disintegrate, and releasing the inner drug-loaded pellet core. The cinnamon extract nanoparticle powder in the drug-loaded pellet core is modified by soybean phospholipid and poloxamer 188, and then rapidly disperses and dissolves in the intestinal fluid. The nanoparticles improve the solubility of the fat-soluble components, are rapidly absorbed by the intestinal mucosa, realize “rapid onset”, and this stage is the “peak of rapid release”. The slow-release matrix layer (HPMC + ethyl cellulose) started in the stomach continues to slowly erode and diffuse the drug through the gel barrier after entering the intestine, continuously releases metformin, maintains a stable blood drug concentration, avoids blood glucose fluctuation, realizes “long-acting glycemic control”, and this stage is the “sustained-release maintenance”.
