Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of veterinary drug preparation, and particularly relates to a water-soluble tilmicosin premix and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Tilmicosin, as a 16-membered macrolide antibiotic, is widely used in the prevention and treatment of respiratory infections in ruminants, pigs and poultry. The common dosage forms at present include injection, premix for feed mixing and soluble powder for drinking water, etc. Injection administration has the problems of low individual operation compliance and high group administration cost; the efficacy of premix for feed mixing depends on the animal feed intake, and sick animals are prone to insufficient administration when they are off feed; while drinking water administration has the advantages of rapid onset and good group coverage, but it puts forward higher requirements for the solubility behavior, dissolution kinetics, clarity, hard water adaptability, administration pipeline compatibility and stability of the preparation in aqueous phase.
[0003] The current technical development of tilmicosin preparation for drinking water still faces many common challenges. First of all, there is a contradiction between solubility and clarity. Although tilmicosin is often used in the form of salt, its dissolution rate and final clarity are still significantly affected by pH value and ionic strength. Some existing formulations use strong acidification or a large amount of surfactants to promote dissolution, but this easily leads to a decrease in palatability, an increase in foam, turbidity of the solution, and even causes wall hanging of the drinking water line and clogging of the spray head; in high-hardness water or in the presence of mineral components such as bentonite, zeolite and calcium phosphate, the drug molecules are prone to electrostatic adsorption, ion bridging or co-precipitation, resulting in a decrease in free drug concentration and an increase in apparent turbidity. Secondly, the dissolution stability of traditional tilmicosin preparations is poor. As a macrolide compound, tilmicosin may undergo hydrolysis or recrystallization under high temperature and humidity conditions. Some soluble powders show delayed dissolution and decreased clarity after long-term storage or after experiencing cold and hot cycles, affecting the reliability of administration and the expected efficacy. In addition, traditional fine powders or simple physical mixing type powders are prone to moisture absorption and caking, have poor flowability, and are prone to separation after transportation and vibration, thereby leading to uneven concentration of secondary preparation, non-compliance of batch content uniformity, and operation safety risks caused by dust exposure. SUMMARY
[0004] The present application provides a water-soluble tilmicosin premix and a preparation method thereof to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art. To solve the problems of the existing water-soluble tilmicosin, such as easy adsorption and deposition in hard water / minerals, slow onset, turbidity, and poor transport segregation stability, the present application first co-amorphizes the drug with citric acid, tartaric acid, and PVP to improve the initial dissolution rate and heat and humidity stability. The inner layer is sprayed with sulfobutyl-beta-cyclodextrin, citric acid buffer pair, and sodium gluconate to effectively reduce the adsorption of the drug with minerals such as bentonite, zeolite, and calcium phosphate, and stabilize the pH of the system. The thin layer is sprayed with glutamic acid diacetate tetrasodium to provide short-term sustained chelation and inhibit the generation of turbidity in the later stage. The outer layer uses amphiphilic cellulose and lecithin to promote instantaneous wetting and inhibit drug recrystallization. The dual-core carrier is constructed by mannitol and anhydrous glucose, and the segmented spraying process is used to realize a uniform and segregation-resistant stable structure of the film layer.
[0005] The technical effects of the present application are realized by the following technical scheme: a water-soluble tilmicosin premix, which comprises the following raw materials: tilmicosin phosphate, citric acid, tartaric acid, polyvinylpyrrolidone K30, sulfobutyl-beta-cyclodextrin, citric acid buffer pair, sodium gluconate, glutamic acid diacetate tetrasodium, alkylated hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, dual-core seeds, mannitol, microcapsule NaHCO3, fumed silica, and lecithin.
[0006] Further, the particle size distribution D 90 of the tilmicosin phosphate is 10-20 μm, i.e., the cumulative volume fraction in the particle size distribution reaches 90% at a particle size of 10-20 μm; Further, the citric acid buffer pair is composed of citric acid and sodium citrate at a mass ratio of 1:1.

[0007] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the present application firstly adopts citric acid and tartaric acid and polyvinylpyrrolidone to co-amorphize tilmicosin phosphate, and combines with the spray drying process, so that the drug is converted into a glassy state, a higher energy level but a limited structure, the apparent solubility of the drug is improved, and the recrystallization tendency of the drug under humid heat conditions is reduced, providing stable starting materials for subsequent water phase diffusion and solution clarification. The obtained mother powder surface is rich in polar groups and PVP segments, which accelerates the hydration rate, and does not introduce insoluble phases or strong complexing sites, which is beneficial to subsequent water phase solubilization and buffer system synergistic effect. Then the synergistic solution containing sulfobutyl-β-cyclodextrin, sodium citrate buffer pair and sodium gluconate is sprayed as the inner layer. In this system, cyclodextrin forms a host-guest inclusion structure with tilmicosin, effectively reducing the hydrophobic interaction and the exposure area of the charged sites of the drug in the water phase, thereby inhibiting the electrostatic adsorption and ion bridging of the drug on the surface of bentonite, zeolite and calcium-containing inorganic salts. The buffer system stabilizes the pH of the microenvironment on the surface of the particles in the weakly acidic range, which is more conducive to the dissolution of the salt type drug; sodium gluconate can form a complex with Ca2+ / Mg 2+ Mild complexation occurs, reducing the interference of water hardness ions on drug dissociation and diffusion, helping to obtain a clear or low turbidity solution.
[0008] To cover the impact of hardness ions entering the water system and gastrointestinal environment over time, the independent thin spray glutamic acid diacetic acid tetrasodium (GLDA) forms a slow-release chelating layer, maintaining effective Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ Capture capacity, reducing late-stage precipitation and secondary turbidity phenomena. Again, with a low dose of amphiphilic modified cellulose (alkylated hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) forming a hydrophilic film layer on the outside, significantly reducing the water contact angle, improving wetting and disaggregation speed, and inhibiting drug secondary crystallization and re-adsorption on the particle surface, shortening the time required to reach stable clarity from a kinetic point of view, while maintaining compatibility with the inner functional components without adverse reactions. In addition, the dual-core carrier of mannitol and anhydrous glucose is selected, and the particle size distribution is adjusted to make the traversal probability of the two types of seeds in the spray area and the uniformity of the coating more easily controlled, reducing the infiltration segregation in the transportation and secondary packaging process from the source. To avoid acid-base interaction during the storage period, a thin layer of mannitol is added between the functional inner layer and sodium bicarbonate as a barrier; the microcapsule sodium bicarbonate layer can quickly release a small amount of CO2 after entering the water, accelerating the pore wetting and disaggregation without changing the system pH and clarity. The outermost layer of low-content lecithin further reduces surface tension and improves compatibility with water system materials, reducing the risk of wall hanging and nozzle clogging; the terminal dry-mixed fumed silica improves powder flowability and reduces the tendency to bridge and cake.

[0028] Based on the result analysis of the above Tables 1-6, the prepared timicosin premix of the embodiment of the application is safe and stable, and the safety performance is excellent verified by acute administration test, no obvious side effects occur in the experiment process, and no death of the test mice occurs. The hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin in Comparative Example 1 lacks sulfobutyl anion side chain, and the charge shielding and weak ion pairing ability for the positively charged macrolide are insufficient, the host-guest inclusion mainly relies on the hydrophobic cavity, resulting in higher free drug ratio and effective surface activity after entering the stomach, and when encountering endogenous Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ When combined with dietary mineral particles, adsorption and bridging deposition are more likely to occur, short-term stimulation and bitter taste increase, which is specifically manifested in that higher water / food ratio and poorer food weight ratio are observed in the early stage, and the body weight recovery is also slower; after the 7th day, the difference is reduced with the gradual removal of adaptation and deposition, but it is still weaker than that of Example 1. Comparative Example 2 removes the slow-release chelating layer and only retains the sodium gluconate fast-phase softening, which can still reduce the interference of hardness ions to a certain extent in the initial stage of water entering / stomach, but when the bile salts and Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ When continuing to enter the small intestine section, the prescription lacking the slow-release complexing ability is more likely to cause late-onset turbidity and micro-deposition, causing slight discomfort and absorption fluctuation of the mucosa, which is specifically manifested in that the water consumption / food intake is slightly inhibited around the 2nd day, the body weight curve recovery is slightly delayed, and the food weight ratio is slightly higher than that of Example 1 in the middle period. The unmodified hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in Comparative Example 3 lacks a hydrophobic side chain, and cannot form a stable instant hydrophilic membrane on the surface interface of the particles and the reconstituted solution, so that micro-aggregation and local concentration peaks are more likely to occur during the reconstitution process; the local supersaturation and recrystallization probability increase after entering the stomach, thereby increasing the short-term stimulation and discomfort in the oral cavity / stomach, which is specifically manifested in that the food intake decreases more obviously in the early stage, the water / food ratio is high, and the body weight recovery is delayed. The single-core system of Comparative Example 4 is more likely to produce fine powder and trace insoluble micro-aggregates during production and reconstitution, the reconstituted solution is slightly inferior in clarity speed and steady state uniformity, and local high-concentration drug liquid patches are more likely to occur during gavage, thereby increasing the mechanical / permeation stimulation of the stomach mucosa in the short term, which is specifically manifested in that the food intake is slightly inhibited and the body weight recovery is delayed in the early stage, the food weight ratio is slightly high in the middle period, and the difference is reduced in the middle and late periods with the self-regulation of the gastrointestinal tract and the removal of the deposition.
[0029] Dissolution test: 400 ppm concentration hard water medium: dissolve 0.441 g CaCl2·2H2O and 0.246 g MgSO4·7H2O in 1 L deionized water; 800 ppm concentration hard water medium: dissolve 0.882 g CaCl2·2H2O and 0.493 g MgSO4·7H2O in 1 L deionized water; at the same time, add 0.5 g / L bentonite, 0.25 g / L zeolite and 0.5 g / L calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate to the 400 ppm hard water to conduct mineral interference test; add 1000 mL (400 ppm / 800 ppm / 400 ppm+minerals) hard water medium to the jacketed cup, constant temperature to 25°C, start stirring at 300 rpm, pre-stir for 2 min to degas, add 1 g of tilmicosin premix sample powder prepared by Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4, take 5 mL at each time point, immediately make up with the same volume of blank medium of the same temperature and hardness, maintain the total volume constant, take samples for filtration at t=0.5 min, 1 min, 2 min, 5 min and 10 min respectively, determine the tilmicosin dissolution amount by HPLC, dissolution percentage (%) = total dissolution amount of sampling / initial amount x 100%; additionally take 20 mL of pre-filtered sample solution at 2 min and 5 min respectively, measure turbidity NTU (with the same hardness blank as zero point); the results of 400 ppm dissolution test are shown in Figure 1 ; the results of 800 ppm dissolution test are shown in Figure 2 ; the results of 400 ppm mineral challenge dissolution test are shown in Figure 3 ; the turbidity test under different hard water media is shown in Table 7.
[0030] Table 7. Turbidity change of tilmicosin premix under different hard water media
[0031] Based on the results analysis of Table 7 and Figures 1-3 , the tilmicosin premix prepared by Example 1 of the present application has a steeper initial slope of 30-60 s, higher cumulative dissolution of 120 s and 5-10 min, and the lowest NTU throughout 2 min and 5 min. In Comparative Example 1, the hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin has no sulfobutyl anion side chain, and the charge shielding and anti-adsorption ability are significantly weakened, so the tilmicosin cationic site is more prone to be adsorbed by Ca 2+ / Mg 2+, the negatively charged clay / zeolite surface forms ion bridges and coordination adsorption, resulting in a low dissolution pressure throughout the period, and the gap is significantly enlarged with increasing hardness or the addition of minerals; the colloidal flocs are large in number and size, showing the highest NTU at 2 min and 5 min, and the smallest backfall at 5 min. In Comparative Example 2, GLDA is removed, and the fast phase softening in the 30-60 s period can still be maintained by sodium gluconate, but from 120 s, with the participation of new hardness ions and cholate / phosphate, the later period lacks chelation coverage, and the curve is obviously out of line; correspondingly, the NTU at 5 min is not ideal, indicating that the Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ is still driving trace redeposition or drug-mineral flocculation. In Comparative Example 3, unmodified HPMC is used to replace the amphiphilic modified cellulose, and the wetting and deagglomeration in water are slow, and the surface interfacial contact angle is high, resulting in a low initial dissolution in the 30-60 s period; at the same time, due to the lack of hydrophobic anchoring and surface stabilization, local supersaturation is more likely to induce microcrystal nucleation, forming small but persistent colloidal phases, which makes the NTU at 2 min high, and the decrease at 5 min slower than in Example 1; although the chemical system is still present, it can gradually catch up with diffusion and dilution in the later period, but it still shows slightly poor dissolution and clarification throughout the period under the challenge of 800 ppm and minerals. In Comparative Example 4, the chemical prescription is complete, but after being changed to a single core, the film thickness uniformity of fluidized spraying and the repeatability of the bed circulation track decrease, and the probability of fine powder and uneven coating of the finished product increases, resulting in a slight downward shift of the whole curve: the mass transfer resistance is greater in the early stage, and it is slightly slower within 120 s; the chemical protection is still present in the middle and late stages, and it gradually catches up, but the NTU at 2-5 min is always slightly higher than that in Example 1.
[0032] Stability test: The temixixacin premix prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-4 (after opening, resealing, i.e. opening the bag and exposing for 5 min, removing the desiccant, sealing with a rubber strip, simulating daily use) was placed in 40°C / 75% humidity for 6 months, and the water content and turbidity (taking samples in 400 ppm concentration hard water medium, and taking samples to measure turbidity NTU at 2 min and 5 min, respectively) were tested at 0 months, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months and 6 months, respectively. The change in water content is shown in Figure 4 , the change in turbidity (2 min and 5 min) is shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , and the change in pH is shown in Figure 7 .
[0033] Based on Figures 4-7The prepared tilmicosin premix of the embodiment has the slowest increase in water content, the smallest pH drift, the lowest increase in NTU in 2-5 minutes after entering water, and excellent stability. The hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin in Comparative Example 1 is a non-ionic cyclodextrin, which lacks sulfobutyl negative electric shielding, is more hydrophilic / hygroscopic in the solid phase, and the film layer softens after containing water, and the particles are more likely to bridge and grow; after entering water, the shielding is lacking, and tilmicosin is more likely to combine with Ca 2+ / Mg 2+ form ion bridges / adsorption, NTU increases significantly and falls slowly in 5 minutes, the effective acidity of the buffer pair is easily fixed in the crystal phase or consumed by trace metals under hygrothermal conditions, the equivalent acid capacity decreases, and the pH upsurge is the most obvious. The solid phase stage in Comparative Example 2 lacks GLDA occupation of trace metals (Ca / Mg / Fe), and is more likely to form metal bridging-micro-agglomeration after hygroscopicity under hygrothermal conditions, and is difficult to disperse again; only sodium gluconate softens immediately during the water entering stage, and lacks sustained coordination after 120 seconds, resulting in delayed turbidity, which is manifested by faster NTU increase and slower decrease in 2-5 minutes, and the buffer is slightly phase-separated under hygrothermal / hygroscopic conditions, and metal ions participate, the pH drift is obvious but not as much as Comparative Example 1. Comparative Example 3 loses the hydrophobic side chain anchoring and the stable phase of the surface interface, the film layer has reduced resistance to moisture, capillary hygroscopicity is more obvious, and the powder is more likely to be wet and sticky, wetting / dispersion is slow after entering water, the probability of microcrystal nucleation is high, NTU is high in 2 minutes, and falls slowly in 5 minutes; the instability of the film layer also makes the effective buffer distribution and the microenvironment more likely to drift, and the pH upsurge is only second to Comparative Example 1. Comparative Example 4 has the same formula chemistry as Example 1, but the single core makes the uniformity of the film thickness and the in-bed circulation trajectory deteriorate, the proportion of fine powder is high, there are more weak points in the coating, water vapor is more likely to penetrate, and the hygroscopicity curve rises; the consistency of the particle group is slightly poor after entering water, and the NTU is slightly high throughout; the buffer system has not been fundamentally destroyed, so the pH drift is small.
[0034] Particle size distribution: the particle size distribution curve of the tilmicosin premix prepared in Example 1 was obtained by laser diffraction particle size analysis method, and the results are shown in Figure 8 .
[0035] Based on Figure 8 analysis, the columnar percentage distribution shows a single peak, slightly right-biased, lognormal distribution characteristics, and the red smooth curve is a fitting of the columnar frequency; the main peak is located at 240-260 μm, corresponding to the median particle size D 50 about 250 μm; the tails on both sides converge well, D 10 about 120 μm, and D 90 about 480 μm, the span coefficient (D 90 -D 10 ) / D 50about 1.44; this indicates that in the spray granulation process of the present application, the droplet size in the fluidized bed, the drying rate and the nucleation and growth are stably locked in the same window, and there is no double-peak or shoulder peak, and the same-track circulation effect brought by the equal-density double-nucleus strategy is also reflected as a single-peak distribution instead of double-peak superposition. The proportion of fine powder on the left side is extremely low, the surface dust exposure and segregation risk is low, which is conducive to feeding and sieving; the proportion of coarse particles greater than 600 μm on the right side is extremely low, which indicates that excessive bonding and secondary agglomeration are controlled, and there is no over-wetting or membrane bridging instability phenomenon in the spraying section. In terms of performance correlation, D 50 about 250 μm, D 90 ≤500 μm interval is consistent with the established target of the present application: fast wetting, fast dissolution and no excessive foaming; the particle size is small enough to provide specific surface area and uniform film coating, and the distribution is narrow so that the micro-mass transfer path in the reconstitution process is consistent, so that higher and more stable dissolution and lower turbidity can be obtained in hard water and mineral interference medium.
