Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, specifically relating to a sustained-release capsule of isosorbide mononitrate and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Isosorbide mononitrate can be divided into 5-isosorbide mononitrate and 2-isosorbide mononitrate. Isosorbide mononitrate, also known as 5-isosorbide mononitrate, is a long-acting nitrate antianginal drug with a mechanism of action similar to nitroglycerin, but with a longer duration of action. It is the main active metabolite of isosorbide nitrate in the body, rapidly absorbed orally, with high absolute bioavailability and minimal individual variability. Its main pharmacological effects are relaxing vascular smooth muscle, reducing peripheral vascular resistance, decreasing resistance to left ventricular contraction, thereby reducing myocardial oxygen consumption and improving blood supply to ischemic areas.

[0003] Isosorbide mononitrate has a biological half-life of 4–5 hours and can be used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris, long-term treatment of coronary heart disease, prevention of vasospasm and mixed angina, as well as treatment after myocardial infarction and long-term treatment of chronic heart failure. When used in combination with digitalis and / or diuretics, it can treat chronic congestive heart failure and is one of the best drugs for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris.

[0004] Isosorbide mononitrate was first used clinically in West Germany in 1975. Its chemical name is 3,6-didehydro-D-sorbitol-5-nitrate. It is a white needle-like crystal or crystalline powder, odorless, readily soluble in methanol or acetone, soluble in chloroform or water, and practically insoluble in hexane. It is prone to explosion when heated or impacted. Currently, isosorbide mononitrate is used clinically in conventional dosage forms such as tablets and injections. However, frequent daily dosing leads to large fluctuations in blood drug concentration, and frequent dosing can easily lead to drug tolerance, causing numerous side effects, and even poisoning; or it may fail to exert its effect. Sustained-release formulations, on the other hand, allow the immediate-release layer to quickly achieve blood drug concentration, while the sustained-release layer slowly releases the drug to maintain blood drug concentration, reducing or avoiding peak-trough fluctuations in blood drug concentration. This allows the drug to exert its therapeutic effect more steadily and continuously, improving the safety of clinical use and reducing adverse drug reactions. Isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release formulation is administered once daily, reducing the frequency of dosing and virtually eliminating the risk of drug resistance; thus significantly reducing the probability of nocturnal angina and improving patient compliance.

[0005] Isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsules were originally developed by Schwarz Pharma in Germany. In 1992, the isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsules manufactured by Schwarz Pharma were approved for marketing in China under the trade name [Brand Name Missing]. In 2007, UCB completed its global acquisition of the German Schwarz Pharmaceuticals Group. In 2008, UCB and Zhuhai Schwarz Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. completed their merger in China. In 2012, Zhuhai Schwarz Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UCB. The State Food and Drug Administration of China has approved the marketing of isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsules produced by UCB (Zhuhai) Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (50mg) as the original drug. Patent 201610630326.1 discloses a method for preparing isosorbide mononitrate capsules. Before preparing microcapsules, the raw materials and fillers are mixed and pulverized using an air jet mill. After pulverization, an immediate-release microcapsule of isosorbide mononitrate is prepared using a multi-functional pelletizing and coating machine, and then a sustained-release microcapsule of isosorbide mononitrate is prepared using the same machine. Finally, the immediate-release and sustained-release microcapsules are mixed and filled into capsules to obtain the final product. However, this method also suffers from high energy consumption and difficulty in large-scale production.

[0006] Patent 201811311153.2 discloses a method for preparing isosorbide mononitrate capsules. First, a soft mass is prepared using a wet granulation machine. Then, the soft mass is used to prepare an immediate-release component using an extrusion-spheronization device and dried. After drying, the immediate-release component is divided into two parts in a 70% and 30% ratio. The 70% immediate-release component is used for further sustained-release coating, while the 30% immediate-release portion is further coated with a release coating using a fluidized bed bottom spray method for later use. Based on the content of the immediate-release component, the content of the sustained-release component, and the mixing ratio, the theoretical filling amount is calculated to fill the capsules. Although this method provides a more stable isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsule, the process is still relatively complex and labor-intensive.

[0007] The existing preparation process of isosorbide mononitrate suffers from problems such as crystallization, poor stability, and complex preparation. Therefore, developing a method for preparing isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsules to address the shortcomings of the existing technology has become a challenge for researchers.
