Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to a pivamidone bromide pharmaceutical preparation and its preparation process. Background Technology
[0002] Pinaverium bromide was registered as pinaverium bromide by Solvay Pharmaceuticals in 1975 and marketed under the brands Dicetel® and Eldicet®. Used for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, it was the first calcium antagonist with a highly selective antispasmodic effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Pinaverium bromide achieves its antispasmodic effect by blocking the inflow of calcium ions into the intestinal wall smooth muscle cells, preventing excessive muscle contraction, eliminating intestinal smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness, and increasing intestinal motility. The structure of pinaverium bromide is as follows: CN200710308440.3 discloses a pinaverium bromide sustained-release tablet, which comprises 150 parts pinaverium bromide, 10-150 parts binder, 10-300 parts sustained-release material, 0-100 parts plasticizer, 0-100 parts anti-adhesive, and 10-500 parts filler.

[0016] Pinaverium bromide is unstable and easily decomposes when exposed to light and heat. During formulation, the inventors attempted to add the antioxidant vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate; however, investigations revealed that the stability effect was not significant, especially under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Further investigations showed that adding colloidal silica to the vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate granulation process resulted in even worse stability. Finally, the inventors experimented with granulation using a co-treated product of vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate and microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica with the active ingredient pinaverium bromide. Stability studies showed a significant improvement in stability under high temperature, high humidity, and light conditions.
[0017] Specifically, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A pinaverium bromide tablet composition comprising pinaverium bromide, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica co-treated material, and other pharmaceutically acceptable fillers, binders, disintegrants, and lubricants.

[0045] Verification Example: 1. Stability Study Following the relevant methods in the General Chapters, Part IV of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the content, related substances, and dissolution of the samples after stability studies were tested.
[0046] Determination of related substances: Refer to high performance liquid chromatography (General Chapter 0512 of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia). Chromatographic conditions: Octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel was used as the stationary phase, acetonitrile-sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer (70:30) was used as the mobile phase, the detection wavelength was 245 nm, the column temperature was 25 ℃, the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, and the injection volume was 20 μL.
[0047] Preparation method of sodium dodecyl sulfate buffer: Take 13.0g of sodium dodecyl sulfate, dissolve it in 1500mL of water, add 5.0mL of phosphoric acid, mix well, adjust the pH to 2.5 with triethylamine, and filter to obtain the buffer.
[0048] Content determination: An Agilent Extend-C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) was used. The mobile phase was methanol-citric acid buffer (5.83 g of trisodium citrate trihydrate was dissolved in 900 mL of water, the pH of the solution was adjusted to 5.0 with 1.0 mol / L citric acid solution, and then diluted to 1000 mL with water) (70:30). The detection wavelength was 285 nm, the flow rate was 1.0 mL / min, the injection volume was 20 μL, and the theoretical plate number calculated based on the pinaverium bromide peak should not be less than 1500.
[0049] High temperature conditions: 60℃; High temperature and high humidity conditions: 60℃, relative humidity 92%; Light intensity: (4500±500lx).
[0050] Table 1-1 Observation Results Table 1-2 Observation Results Table 1-3 Observation Results Table 1-4 Observation Results Table 1-5 Observation Results Table 2-1 Results of Accelerated Stability Study Stability testing conditions: 40℃±2℃, 75%RH±5%, accelerated for 6 months.
[0051] Table 2-2 Results of Accelerated Stability Study Stability testing conditions: 40℃±2℃, 75%RH±5%, accelerated for 6 months.
[0052] The stability test results in Tables 1-1-5, 2-1, and 2-2 show that Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which only used microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica co-treated material and vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, respectively, exhibited poor stability. Comparative Example 3, which used microcrystalline cellulose and colloidal silica instead of the microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica co-treated material, showed better photostability, but a significant increase in related substances under high temperature and high humidity conditions. Comparative Example 4 used direct compression with a mixture, but the effect was not as good as wet granulation. This may be because wet granulation tightly aggregates the microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica co-treated material, vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate, and the main component, making it difficult for light, moisture, and high temperature to degrade the active ingredient. The performance in terms of light resistance and resistance to high temperature and humidity was significantly improved. Furthermore, excessive amounts of microcrystalline cellulose colloidal silica co-treated material and vitamin E polyethylene glycol succinate can increase the hygroscopicity of the tablets, affecting their stability.
[0053] 2 Dissolution test Dissolution tests were performed on the samples after the accelerated 6-month observation period. Dissolution and release determination method (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition, Part IV, General Chapter 0931, Method II). Dissolution media were prepared using pH 1.0, hydrochloric acid solution, and phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.8), respectively. The dissolution was performed at 50 rpm, following the prescribed procedure. Samples were taken at 5, 10, 15, and 30 min (with replenishment of the same volume and temperature of dissolution media). Absorbance was measured at 243 nm (calculated as pinaverium bromide) using UV-Vis spectrophotometry (General Chapter 0401). Dissolution results are shown in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 below.
[0054] Table 3-1 Dissolution rate of tablets in each example Table 3-2 Dissolution rate of tablets in each example As can be seen from Tables 3-1 and 3-2, the tablets prepared in the embodiments of the present invention all showed good dissolution effects after 6 months of accelerated testing, which were better than those of commercially available formulations.
