Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to an orally disintegrating sustained-release zolpidem tartrate tablet and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Insomnia is a common sleep disorder and physiological and psychological disease in clinical practice. With the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of life pressure, the incidence of insomnia in my country has shown a significant upward trend year by year. Insomnia has become the second most common disease in neurology clinics, second only to headaches. The symptoms of insomnia generally include difficulty falling asleep, shallow sleep, difficulty maintaining sleep (easy to wake up, waking up early), and affecting daily work, study and life during the day.

[0003] Zolpidem tartrate is a non-benzodiazepine, γ-aminobutyric acid A-benzodiazepine receptor agonist that can selectively antagonize γ-aminobutyric acid A complex receptors and promote the action of GABA. It has a strong sedative and hypnotic effect and is mainly used for hypnosis in clinical practice. It takes effect 30 minutes after taking the medicine and has a half-life in the blood of about 2.5 hours. Compared with benzodiazepines, zolpidem has fewer sequelae, and long-term use is less likely to produce tolerance and dependence. It almost does not cause rebound insomnia and is the first choice for non-benzodiazepines to treat insomnia.

[0004] Zolpidem tartrate is a polymorphic drug with multiple crystal forms such as A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, and the polymorphic forms can be transformed in a certain process, such as changes in storage conditions; Zolpidem tartrate is almost insoluble in water and organic solvents, and is easily soluble in 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid solution.

[0005] At present, the common preparations of zolpidem tartrate that have been marketed include: common tablets, capsules, sublingual tablets, oral sprays and solutions. Common tablets and capsules are usually taken before going to bed and can take effect quickly, but the effect is short-lived, generally 2 to 6 hours. Patients with early awakening symptoms often need to get up in the middle of the night to take the medicine again, which seriously interferes with sleep quality. Zolpidem oral spray is used for short-term treatment of patients with difficulty falling asleep and insomnia; sublingual tablets are quickly absorbed through the oral mucosa and are used for short-term treatment of patients with difficulty falling asleep and insomnia, but patients also need to get up in the middle of the night to take the medicine again, which interferes with sleep quality and reduces compliance. The zolpidem sustained-release preparation developed by Sanofi-Aventis abroad can take effect quickly, but the drug release time is slow, and the blood drug concentration is maintained at a high level for a long time. Due to the large total amount of drug released, long-term use of the drug often causes drowsiness and dizziness the next day, and the incidence of anxiety reaches 6.3%, accompanied by headaches, gastrointestinal reactions and other serious adverse reactions.

[0006] CN1334729A discloses a controlled-release dosage form containing zolpidem or its salt, which can release zolpidem in a predetermined time according to a biphasic dissolution distribution; CN103230381B discloses a zolpidem tartrate timed pulse controlled-release micropill, which can be delayed for a certain period of time and then released rapidly. There are many other prior arts of controlled-release drug delivery systems or timed drug delivery systems similar to the above, which generally produce a drug release time lag effect through different material coating layers outside the micropill or tablet core, or multiple drug-containing layers to adjust the drug release rate. Such preparations often have the disadvantages of incomplete release of active drug ingredients, and also have the defect of strictly limiting the amount of drug in each drug layer, and the process operation is difficult.

[0007] The existing zolpidem tartrate pharmaceutical preparations still have the following problems: they have not considered the basic theories of biopharmaceutics to study the effects of dosage forms on the in vivo absorption and stability of polymorphic drug crystal forms, how to achieve transmembrane absorption of poorly soluble or poorly absorbed drugs in the gastrointestinal segment, and how to achieve rapid onset of action after taking the drug and maintain it for a certain period of time without causing adverse reactions such as drowsiness, dizziness, anxiety, etc. the next day. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of the shortcomings of zolpidem tartrate preparations in the prior art, the present invention provides an orally disintegrating sustained-release tablet of zolpidem tartrate, which has a certain sustained-release effect on the basis of maintaining rapid disintegration characteristics and does not induce drowsiness the next day. The tablet has good stability and a simple preparation process, and is suitable for commercial production.

[0009] Conventional methods for controlling drug release rate include increasing the amount of binder, reducing the amount of disintegrant, extending the disintegration time, and coating the active ingredients. However, these methods are usually complicated in preparation process, high in cost, slow in effect, and the particles become larger after coating, which makes them feel gritty and affects the taste. In addition, the release rate of zolpidem tartrate from the preparation is easily affected by the external environment such as pH value, and it is difficult to maintain the sustained release effect throughout the entire period of medication.

[0010] The inventors found that after Zolpidem tartrate and a sustained-release material are mixed to obtain a sustained-release mixture, the sustained-release time is as long as 4 hours. Further adding benzyl benzoate and / or methyl cyclodextrin in different proportions can significantly extend the sustained-release time without affecting the disintegration time limit. By adding other commonly used pharmaceutical excipients, an orally disintegrating sustained-release tablet can be prepared.

[0011] Specifically, the purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0104] Verification Example

[0105] Experimental Example 1: Determination of disintegration time of the obtained preparations and comparison of dissolution behavior

[0106] Disintegration time determination: refer to the disintegration time inspection method of the fourth general rule 0921 of the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, adjust the position of the disintegrator basket so that when the basket is at the lowest position, it is about 25mm from the bottom of the cup, and inject purified water at about 37°C into the 1000ml beaker of the disintegrator so that the screen is about 15mm below the water surface. Set the water bath temperature to 37°C, and measure the water temperature with a calibrated thermometer. After the temperature reaches 37°C ± 1°C and is kept constant, take 6 tablets of each of the preparations of Examples 1-5, respectively, and place them in the glass tubes of the disintegrator baskets, add baffles (the "V" groove of the baffle is open upwards), and set the "preset time" to 5min, start the disintegrator for inspection, and record the disintegration time of each tablet. The disintegration time of the preparations obtained in each embodiment and comparative example is shown in Table 1.

[0107] Dissolution test: Take the tablets obtained in each embodiment and comparative example (6 tablets for measurement), refer to the test apparatus of the second method of the fourth part 0931 dissolution test method of the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" 2020 edition, use 500mL of 0.01mol / L hydrochloric acid solution as the dissolution medium, the rotation speed is 100 revolutions per minute, and the dissolution amount is detected at 5, 30, 60, 240, 600, and 720min. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0108] Table 1 Disintegration time and dissolution test results of Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5

[0109]

[0110] Note: “-” in the table means that the substance has been basically released at the previous time point, and the time point has not been measured.

[0111] As can be seen from Table 1, the dissolution rate of the tablets obtained in Examples 1 to 5 is moderate, which can make the patient take effect immediately after taking the medicine, and have a certain sustained release effect (sustained release time is about 12h), and will not cause drowsiness the next day; an excessive amount of disintegrant is added to the prescription of Example 6, so that the obtained tablet has a burst release phenomenon when it starts to release; Example 7 uses an excessive amount of methyl cyclodextrin, and Example 8 uses an excessive amount of behenic acid glyceride, both of which make the tablet release incomplete; Comparative Example 1 uses polyvinyl alcohol, and the sustained release effect may be reduced due to different copolymers and degradation characteristics; Comparative Example 2 uses triethyl citrate instead of benzyl benzoate or methyl cyclodextrin, and Comparative Example 3 does not use benzyl benzoate or methyl cyclodextrin, and no coordination effect of benzyl benzoate or methyl cyclodextrin and sustained release material is produced, and the sustained release time of the obtained tablet is shortened; Comparative Example 4 is prepared by direct tableting method, and no coordination effect of sustained release effect is produced; Comparative Example 5 uses the process in the prior art, and the obtained tablet has a fast release rate and has the defect of burst release, while the release time is maintained for a short time and the sustained release effect is slightly poor.

[0112] Experimental Example 2: Stability Study of the Prepared Preparation

[0113] The product was packaged in a sealed double-layer aluminum-plastic bag and placed under the conditions of temperature 40±2℃ and relative humidity 75±5% (accelerated) for 6 months. Samples were taken at the end of the 0th, 3rd and 6th month, and the related substances (total impurities, %) were determined.
