Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, and relates to a process for preparing bilayer tablets, specifically to a compound telmisartan-levoamlodipine tablet and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Clinical studies have confirmed that telmisartan effectively lowers and controls blood pressure. It is a specific angiotensin II receptor (AT I type). Telmisartan binds with high affinity to the ATI receptor subtype (the known site of action of angiotensin II) instead of the angiotensin II receptor. Telmisartan has no site-specific agonist effect at the ATI receptor site; it selectively binds to the ATI receptor, and this binding is long-lasting, thus resulting in a significant antihypertensive effect.

[0004] Amlodipine is a commonly used dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker in clinical practice. Its characteristics include a slow binding and dissociation rate with receptors, resulting in a long duration of action. In patients with myocardial ischemia, it can increase cardiac output and coronary blood flow, increase myocardial oxygen supply and reduce oxygen consumption, and improve exercise capacity. Amlodipine has two enantiomers, levo-amlodipine and dextro-amlodipine. Levo-amlodipine is a newer generation product of amlodipine, obtained through chiral resolution technology; it is non-toxic and has a hypotensive effect. Dextro-amlodipine is highly toxic and has no hypotensive effect. Therefore, levo-amlodipine is more effective and safer than amlodipine for hypertension. Levo-amlodipine is characterized by a slow onset of action, long duration of action, and a high trough-to-peak ratio, and is widely used clinically in the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and angina pectoris.

[0005] If a patient's blood pressure is not adequately controlled after using amlodipine or telmisartan alone, the treatment can be switched to a combination of telmisartan and amlodipine tablets. The indication for this combination is primarily for the treatment of essential hypertension and for patients whose blood pressure cannot be adequately controlled by monotherapy.

[0006] However, the inventors discovered through research that telmisartan raw material and levamlodipine besylate raw material would interact, so directly mixing telmisartan and levamlodipine besylate to make a combination drug would result in poor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To minimize contact between telmisartan and levamlodipine besylate, the inventors conducted a detailed study of bilayer tablets. This study revealed that the vacuum cleaner remained on throughout the tableting process, easily removing fine powder. This posed a risk of stratification of the levamlodipine layer during tableting, resulting in poor uniformity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient content. Furthermore, the telmisartan layer was unstable in the raw material solution during granulation, and telmisartan sodium salt solution easily precipitated out, leading to poor uniformity and stability. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablet and its preparation method. The compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablet prepared by this invention exhibits excellent uniformity, and its in vitro dissolution curve is comparable to that of the reference drug telmisartan tablets produced by Boehringer Ingelheim Hellas Single Member SA. Amlodipine besylate tablets manufactured by Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. It exhibits better similarity and greater stability during the stability assessment period.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0009] On one hand, a method for preparing compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablets includes:

[0010] The preparation process of telmisartan layer particles involves dissolving telmisartan raw material in a solution containing meglumine and sodium hydroxide as alkaline reagents, then adding a binder and mixing evenly to obtain an alkaline solution of telmisartan raw material; preheating the telmisartan layer filler in a fluidized bed, spraying the alkaline solution of telmisartan raw material onto it, drying and granulating it, then adding a lubricant for the telmisartan layer and mixing it to obtain telmisartan layer particles;

[0011] The preparation process of levamlodipine layer granules involves mixing levamlodipine benzylsulfonic acid raw material with levamlodipine layer excipients evenly, performing dry granulation and granulation in sequence, and then adding levamlodipine layer lubricant for total mixing to obtain levamlodipine granules.

[0012] Furthermore, the preparation process of the bilayer tablet involves compressing the telmisartan granules and levamlodipine granules into a bilayer tablet to obtain the compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablet.

[0013] This invention first uses a mixture of two alkaline reagents (sodium hydroxide and meglumine) to increase the dissolution rate of telmisartan raw material, forming telmisartan sodium. A binder is added to the solution to improve the stability of the alkaline solution and prevent telmisartan precipitation during granulation. Based on this, fluidized bed granulation is employed, which significantly improves the uniformity and stability of telmisartan. Secondly, in preparing levamlodipine granules, this invention first mixes the ingredients and then granulates them using a dry method, resulting in a uniform levamlodipine besylate content. Simultaneously, the excipients are compressed together with levamlodipine besylate, reducing the risk of stratification caused by dust collection during tableting and thus improving the uniformity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient content.

[0014] Experiments have shown that the compound telmisartan-levoamlodipine tablets prepared by this invention have better uniformity and superior stability.

[0015] On the other hand, a compound telmisartan-levoamlodipine tablet is obtained by the above preparation method.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] This application employs fluidized bed granulation for the telmisartan layer, which has low equipment requirements, high production efficiency, and improves product stability. Sodium hydroxide and meglumine are added as alkaline reagents during the preparation of the telmisartan alkaline solution, ensuring rapid dissolution of telmisartan to form telmisartan sodium. Additionally, a binder is added to the raw material solution to improve its stability and prevent telmisartan precipitation during granulation. The levamlodipine layer is prepared using a dry granulation method after mixing, resulting in granules with uniform active pharmaceutical ingredient content. Combining the excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredient reduces the risk of separation caused by dust collection during tableting. Finally, the two granule layers are compressed into a double-layer tablet using a double-layer tablet press, avoiding large-area contact between the two active pharmaceutical ingredients. The telmisartan-levamlodipine double-layer tablets prepared by the process described in this invention exhibit superior stability, better uniformity of telmisartan and levamlodipine besylate content, and a dissolution curve similar to the control drug telmisartan tablets. Amlodipine besylate tablets Closer. Detailed Implementation

[0018] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0019] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0020] In order to avoid the risk of delamination of the levamlodipine layer and the easy precipitation of telmisartan raw material when making bilayer tablets by large-area contact between telmisartan raw material and levamlodipine besylate raw material, resulting in poor uniformity and stability, this invention proposes a compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablet and its preparation method.

[0021] A typical embodiment of the present invention provides a method for preparing compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablets, comprising:

[0022] The preparation process of telmisartan layer particles involves dissolving telmisartan raw material in a solution containing meglumine and sodium hydroxide as alkaline reagents, then adding a binder and mixing evenly to obtain an alkaline solution of telmisartan raw material; preheating the telmisartan layer filler in a fluidized bed, spraying the alkaline solution of telmisartan raw material onto it, drying and granulating it, then adding a lubricant for the telmisartan layer and mixing it to obtain telmisartan layer particles;

[0023] The preparation process of levamlodipine layer granules involves mixing levamlodipine benzylsulfonic acid raw material with levamlodipine layer excipients evenly, performing dry granulation and granulation in sequence, and then adding levamlodipine layer lubricant for total mixing to obtain levamlodipine granules.

[0024] Furthermore, the preparation process of the bilayer tablet involves compressing the telmisartan granules and levamlodipine granules into a bilayer tablet to obtain the compound telmisartan-levamlodipine tablet.

[0025] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of telmisartan raw material, alkaline reagent, binder, filler, and lubricant in the telmisartan layer particles is 80:25-35:20-30:300-360:6-10.

[0026] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of meglumine to sodium hydroxide is 23–26:1–12.

[0032] In some embodiments, the lubricant in the levamlodipine layer particles is magnesium stearate.

[0033] In some embodiments, levamlodipine besylate raw material is premixed with a colorant, a flow aid, and a portion of a filler to obtain a premix, which is then mixed with the remaining filler. This method enables better and more uniform mixing of the levamlodipine besylate raw material with the excipients of the levamlodipine layer.

[0034] In one or more embodiments, during premixing, the weight of the added filler is 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the total weight of the filler.

[0035] In some embodiments, the mass ratio of telmisartan raw material to levamlodipine besylate raw material is 79–81:3.0–4.0.

[0036] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a compound telmisartan-levoamlodipine tablet, which is obtained by the above preparation method.

[0037] In some embodiments, the hardness of the double-layer core is 150-250 N.
