Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a sodium loxoprofen patch and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Sodium loxoprofen is a new type of 2-phenylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, which was first developed by the First Sanjiyuan Company of Japan, and is mainly used for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and the like. At present, there are dosage forms such as tablets, granules, capsules and external use patches (gel patches and hot melt patches). The external use patch has considerable effectiveness and higher safety compared with oral preparations, and thus becomes a more advantageous dosage form. The hot melt patch is lighter in weight, stronger in adhesion and more widely used in clinic compared with the gel patch, and thus has become a research hotspot of the product.

[0003] Sodium loxoprofen has poor stability to high temperature, high humidity and light, and the hot melt patch may result in excessive related substances of the finished product due to the long time high-temperature heating process in the preparation process. Meanwhile, the preparation temperature is too high, which seriously affects the coating time of the product and restricts the batch of commercial production of the product.

[0004] Patent CN101052384A discloses a sodium loxoprofen patch, and the adjuvants include styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (model number: D1107), polyisobutylene, glyceryl ester of rosin (model number: KE-311), dibutyl hydroxytoluene, liquid paraffin, phosphoric acid and L-menthol. Patent CN120346189A can improve the adhesion and cohesion of the long-term stability of the sodium loxoprofen patch by optimizing the model number and amount of styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer and polyisobutylene. The above patents do not involve the characterization of related substances of the patch. Subsequent research has found that the sodium loxoprofen patch has problems of affecting the ductility of the paste due to the too low temperature in the preparation process and the excessive related substances due to the too high temperature.

[0005] Therefore, optimizing the preparation method of the sodium loxoprofen patch, determining the appropriate coating temperature range, prolonging the coating time, increasing the production batch and improving the production efficiency are technical problems that have not been solved in the art.

[0067] Stability test under accelerated conditions

[0068] Example 1, comparative example, and commercially available product (trade name: PAP (Licensed by: LEAD CHEMICAL CO., LTD) was placed under accelerated conditions (40℃±2℃, 75%RH±5%RH) for stability testing. The results are shown in Table 1. Related substances determination method: Related substances were determined according to the imported registration standard JX20210065 for loxoprofen sodium patches; Butylated hydroxytoluene content determination method: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used according to Part IV, 0512 of the 2025 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

[0069] Table 1 Results of accelerated test stability assessment

[0070]

[0071] From Table 1, it can be seen that, in comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, under the same stirring temperature, the increase of related substances is smaller, the content of antioxidant increases, and the content of related substances is lower and the increase is not obvious in the vacuum extraction + nitrogen protection mode (Example 1), followed by the vacuum extraction mode (Comparative Example 2), and the content of related substances is higher and the increase is larger in the mode without vacuum extraction and nitrogen protection (Comparative Example 1), indicating that the vacuum extraction and nitrogen protection conditions can significantly improve the stability of the sample.

[0072] It can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-4 that, under the condition of vacuum extraction and nitrogen protection, the stability is the worst and the increase of related substances is obvious at the mixing temperature of 160-180°C (Comparative Example 4) at 0 days and under the accelerated condition for 6 months, the total impurities increase by 0.64% and the antioxidant decreases by 4% under the accelerated condition for 6 months, and there is no obvious difference in stability at the mixing temperature of 130-145°C.

[0073] It can be seen from the comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 5-6 that, in Comparative Example 5, oxygen is not controlled and vacuum extraction is not performed, and the change trend of related substances and antioxidant is similar to that of Comparative Example 1 (oxygen is not controlled and vacuum extraction is not performed), and the stability result is obviously worse than that of Example 1; in Comparative Example 6, the preparation method is to protect with carbon dioxide at 120-135°C, and the change trend of related substances and antioxidant is similar to that of Comparative Example 3 (130-135°C + nitrogen protection + vacuum extraction) at 0 days and under the accelerated condition for 6 months, indicating that controlling oxygen (nitrogen protection or carbon dioxide protection) and reducing the preparation temperature can significantly improve the related substances and improve the stability under the accelerated condition.

[0074] The stability of the sample of Example 1 under the condition of controlling oxygen and vacuum extraction at the preparation temperature of 140-145°C is better than that of the commercially available product under the accelerated condition for 6 months.

[0075] Evaluation of matrix dissolution time

[0076] The melting time and properties of Example 1, Comparative Examples 1, 3, 4 and 6 were statistically analyzed. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0077] Table 2 Statistical results of melting time of loxoprofen sodium patch

[0078]

[0079] The experimental results show that the lower the sol temperature, the longer the colloid preparation time, and the sol temperature is reduced from 140-145°C to 130-135°C (comparative example 3), and the paste preparation time is prolonged by about 1.5 h. The above samples are laboratory scale, with a batch size of about 1 kg, and if the batch size is increased to a commercial production scale, the colloid melting preparation time will only be longer. Therefore, if the preparation temperature is too high (160-180°C), the related substances of the paste will obviously increase, and the paste will be slightly yellow; if the preparation temperature is reduced, the stability of the sample can be significantly improved, but if the preparation temperature is too low (comparative example 6, 120-135°C), the flowability of the colloid will be significantly poor and the preparation time will be too long. In summary, the preparation temperature of 140-145°C can combine the related substances and flowability of the paste, shorten the production time, and increase the production capacity.

[0080] Coating time investigation

[0081] The coating time of the loxoprofen sodium patches of example 1, comparative example 1 and comparative examples 5-6 was investigated, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0082] Table 3 Coating time investigation results

[0083]

[0084] The above test results show that comparative example 1 and comparative example 5 do not control oxygen and vacuum during the preparation process, and the total impurities have exceeded 2.5% when the coating time is 14 h; example 1 and comparative example 6 control oxygen during the preparation process, and the growth trend of the related substances during the coating process is significantly lower than that of comparative examples 1 and 5, and example 1 controls vacuum during the production process, and the growth rate of the total impurities during the coating process is significantly slower than that of comparative example 6, indicating that controlling oxygen and vacuum during the production process can significantly improve the growth of the related substances during the coating process of the sample and prolong the production coating time.

[0085] The above examples are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing examples, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing examples, or make equivalent replacements for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
