[0209] Tacrolimus was dissolved in polyethylene glycol 6000 and poloxamer 188 (w / w ratio 70:30) at 70°C. The solution was sprayed onto 250 g of lactose in a fluidized bed Strea-1. The granulated product was sieved through a 0.7mm sieve and mixed with magnesium stearate in a Turbula mixer for 0.5 minutes. The mixture is compressed into 8 mm tablets (200 mg tablet, compound cup shape) containing 1 mg of active ingredient.

[0210] Average disintegration time: 20 minutes. Hardness: 45N.

[0213] Tacrolimus was dissolved in PEG 6000 at a temperature above 80°C. Poloxamer 188 was added and the solution was heated to a temperature above 80°C. The solution was sprayed onto 200 g of lactose monohydrate in a fluidized bed Phast FB100 using a dosing unit Phast FS1.7. The resulting granules were sieved with a Comill (sieve size 1397) at 4500 rpm and mixed with croscarmellose sodium in a Turbula mixer for 3 minutes.

[0218] Example 3: Enteric Coating of the Immediate Release Tablet of Example 2

[0219] substance

[0220] The amount of film polymer (Eudragit) applied is based on each cm 2 Calculated in mg of film polymer on the tablet surface. The thickness of the enteric coating is 80 μm. Determination of the film thickness used was based on the measurement of the tablet height increments with a digital micrometer. The film coating process was carried out in a Phast FB100 fluidized bed equipped with a Wurster-like insert, inlet air temperature 50°C, inlet airflow 100 cbm / hour, product temperature 38°C, feed rate 15 g / min.

[0221] The coated tablets were cured in an oven at 30°C for 48 hours. Alternatively, the coated tablet can be more efficiently cured at 40°C for 24 hours.

[0222] Enteric-coated tablets were subjected to in vitro dissolution testing using two different dissolution media / test methods.

Abstract

A pharmaceutical composition comprising tacrolimus (FK-506) dissolved and / or dispersed in a hydrophilic or water-miscible vehicle to form a solid dispersion or solid solution at ambient temperature have improved bioavailability.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a solid dispersion containing tacrolimus or its analogues with improved bioavailability, more specifically, a solid solution or solid dispersion of tacrolimus in a hydrophilic vehicle; comprising a solid solution or Pharmaceutical compositions of solid dispersions; and dosage forms comprising solid solutions or solid dispersions. Background of the invention [0002] Tacrolimus, also known as FK-506 or FR-900506, has the same 44 h 69 NO 12 The corresponding chemical tricyclic structure is shown below: [0003] [0004] Tacrolimus exists as white crystals or crystalline powder. It is practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol, and readily soluble in methanol and chloroform. [0005] For the preparation of tacrolimus see EP-A-0 184 162 and for tacrolimus analogs see eg EP-A-0 444 659 and US 6,387,918 (both incorporated herein by reference). [0006] Tacrolimus is a macrolide compound with useful...
