Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a new way to make medication that can be used to treat pain. The medication contains a substance that can stop the painkiller from being quickly absorbed into the body when it is taken in a misused form. This substance, called a quenching agent, forms a complex with the painkiller when it is dissolved in a solvent. The quenching agent is designed to be safe and effective, and it is released from the medication in a controlled and gradual manner. This new medication can help prevent drug abuse and overdoses, while still providing the desired therapeutic effect."

Problems solved by technology

This is a very complex and difficult problem to solve.
The reason is that drug abuses and unfortunately now even teenagers have found way to recover the drug from tablets quite easily.
This type of tablet allows an easy extraction by water for example after 12 hours or more and consequently does not provide i.a. a satisfactory solution against misuse.
This system does not prevent i.a extraction by water because, without crushing, the opioid can be extracted, contrary to naltrexone.
However, this dosage form does not prevent solvent extraction with an extraction time longer than the normal release time of the drug.
However, our understanding is that none of the solutions can prevent i.a. the extraction by water, alcohol or any other type of drinkable solvent.

Oxycodone Misuse Resistive Capsule

Step 1:

[0302] 600 g of Oxycodone HCl and 60 g of Klucel EF® (Hydroxypropyl cellulose / Aqualon) are dissolved in 5000 g of water. The solution is sprayed onto 300 g of neutral microspheres (Asahi-Kasei) in a GPCG1 Glatt spray coater. 35 g of ethyl cellulose (Ethocel 20 Premium / Dow), 5 g of Plasdone K29 / 32® (Povidone / ISP), 2.5 g of Cremophor RH 40 (Macrogolglyceroli hydroxystearas / BASF) and 7.5 g of castor oil are dispersed in a 60% isopropanol and 40% acetone mixture. This solution is sprayed onto 350 g of Oxycodone granules previously prepared.

Step 2:

[0303] 550 g of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) and 50 g of Klucel EF® (Hydroxypropyl cellulose / Aqualon) are dispersed in 3000 g of ethanol. The solution is sprayed onto 250 g of neutral microspheres (Asahi-Kasei) in a GPCG1 Glatt spray coater. 30 g of HPMC (Hypromellose K15 MP / Dow), 10 g of Plasdone K29 / 32® (Povidone / ISP), 2.5 g of Cremophor RH 40 (Macrogolglyceroli hydroxystearas / BASF) and 7.5 g of c...

example 2

Quenching of Oxycodone Hydrochloride by Sodium Dodecylsulfate in Water

[0306] In example 2, two solutions were prepared. Solution A is Oxycodone hydrochloride at 5 g / L in tap water. Solution B is SDS (sodium dodecylsufate) at 5 g / L in tap water.

[0307] Solution A is added to solution B. The resulting solution A+B is turbid. After a few minutes, a complex containing the oxycodone precipitates. This complex remains stable even if diluted in a larger amount of tap water (more than 2 times).

[0308] Therefore, oxycodone cannot be misused, either by oral administration or by injection of a concentrated solution.

Oxycodone Misuse Resistive Capsules

Step 1: Granule

[0309] 1615 g oxycodone and 85 g Povidone (Plasdone® K29-32 / ISP) were dispersed in 60:40 v / v water / ethanol. This solution was sprayed over 300 g of cellulose spheres (Asahi-Kasei) in a fluid bed coater (Glatt GPCG1).

Step 2: Anti-Crushing Microparticles

[0310] 315 g ethylcellulose (Ethocel 20 Premium / Dow), 81 g de povidone (Plasdone K29-32 / ISP), 18 g de Macrogolglyceroli hydroxystearas (Cremophor RH40 / BASF) and 36 g castor oil (Garbit Huilerie) are dissolved in 60:40 v / v acetone / isopropanol. This solution is sprayed over 450 g granules obtained from step 1.

[0311] The coating whose mass is 50 wt % of the total mass of the coated microparticles, leads to the dissolution profile of FIG. 2. The dissolution test is performed according to the reference dissolution test.

Abstract

An oral solid dosage form containing one or several active principle(s) having analgesic properties, the composition of said dosage form being such that it prevents the misuse of said dosage form through the liquid extraction of the active principle(s) contained therein, using commonly available solvents. Said oral solid dosage form containing at least one salt of at least one analgesic active principle, and an anti-misuse system comprising at least one quenching agent, said quenching agent being suitable for inducing complexation of said analgesic active principle salt when the analgesic active principle salt is improperly extracted, notably by a drug abuser, in vitro in solution from said oral solid dosage form.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to an oral solid dosage forms containing one or several active principle(s) having analgesic properties, the composition of said dosage form being such that it prevents the intentional or unintentional misuse of said dosage form through the liquid extraction of the active principle(s) contained therein, using commonly available solvents. [0002] More specifically, the analgesic active principle (AAP) is present in the oral solid dosage form is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt. In the present disclosure, the mention analgesic active principle means a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of analgesic active principle. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Analgesics, and more particularly opioid or morphine derivatives, are often misused. Such misuse can be intentional or unintentional consumption of a solid oral drug containing an analgesic active principle, for a purpose other than that which is officially approved by the compete...
