Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a drug for detecting Helicobacter pylori and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Because Helicobacter pylori is closely related to the occurrence of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancer, it has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen. Currently, the most widely used method for detecting Helicobacter pylori both domestically and internationally is the urea breath test, in which the patient orally ingests urea. 13 C] or urea [ 14 [C] If Helicobacter pylori is present in the stomach, the urease it produces can rapidly decompose urea into labeled carbon dioxide. By measuring whether the concentration of carbon-13 or carbon-14 in the patient's breath is elevated, it can be determined whether the patient is infected with Helicobacter pylori. This test is convenient and quick; therefore, urea is the most widely used breath test drug both domestically and internationally. 13 C] Breath test reagent.

[0003] The test reagent is available in various dosage forms, including capsules, powders, granules, and oral solutions. These dosage forms can be broadly categorized into two types: those that are dissolved in vitro before administration and those that are not. Dosage forms that are dissolved in vitro include powders, granules, and oral solutions; dosage forms that are not dissolved in vitro include capsules and tablets.

[0004] Patent document CN106620736A discloses a novel urea [ 13 [C] The test drug contains a high amount of mannitol in the prescription of this patent. Mannitol is a material that easily produces high permeability. Excessive dosage may cause diarrhea and affect the patient's health. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a drug for detecting Helicobacter pylori and a method for preparing the same. The drug of the present invention does not use mannitol, which reduces the risk of drug use for patients.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one of the objectives of this invention is to provide a drug for detecting Helicobacter pylori, wherein the raw materials, by weight, include: urea [ 13 [C] 10-75 parts, sodium bicarbonate 5-110 parts, lactose 15-45 parts, citric acid 1000-2500 parts, flavoring agent 50-150 parts.

[0007] Furthermore, the flavoring agent includes at least one of steviol glycosides, sucralose, aspartame, neotame, sematrandrine, and acesulfame potassium.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a drug for detecting Helicobacter pylori, comprising at least the following steps:

[0009] S1, separately add urea [ 13 C], sodium bicarbonate, lactose, and flavoring agent are sieved, then the sieved powder is mixed evenly, and finally the powder is compressed into tablets.

[0010] S2. Pack the tablets in aluminum-plastic packaging or bottles;

[0011] S3. Citric acid is passed through a 20-40 mesh sieve, and the dispersed citric acid is packaged in 1-3g packages.

[0012] S4. Combine tablets in aluminum-plastic packaging or bottle packaging with citric acid in a combined packaging.

[0013] Preferably, the citric acid is dispersed and packaged in 1-1.5g portions.

[0014] Furthermore, the urea [ 13 C] After being pulverized, the urea is passed through a 60-120 mesh sieve. 13 The particle size D50 of C] is 110–250 μm.

[0015] Furthermore, the hardness of the tablet is 1 to 3.5 kg.

[0016] Furthermore, the citric acid is passed through a 20-40 mesh sieve.

[0017] Furthermore, the sodium bicarbonate, lactose, and flavoring agent are passed through a 50-120 mesh sieve.

[0018] Furthermore, each tablet weighs between 155 mg and 265 mg.

[0019] Furthermore, the citric acid is packaged in bottles or film bags.

[0020] Furthermore, the combined packaging includes: one blister pack of tablets is dotted on the top of the cap of a bottle containing citric acid, and both are placed together in a cardboard outer packaging. Before taking the tablets, place them in the bottle, add water to dissolve them, and then take the tablets; or one blister pack of tablets and one sachet of citric acid are placed together in a cardboard outer packaging. Before taking the tablets and citric acid, remove the packaging, place them in a disposable cup, add water to dissolve them, and then take the tablets; or the tablets and citric acid are placed in a bottle simultaneously, without contact between them. Before taking the tablets and citric acid, mix them together, add water to dissolve them, and then take the tablets.

[0021] In summary, this invention offers the following advantages: When citric acid and flavoring agent powder are mixed together for an extended period (e.g., 60°C, 10 days), degradation impurities of the flavoring agent are generated, leading to a decrease in either the citric acid or flavoring agent content. This invention, by storing citric acid separately from the tablets, effectively solves the problem of flavoring agent addition and avoids impurity formation due to citric acid addition. Simultaneously, mannitol is not used in the medication, reducing the risk to patients. This invention employs a direct compression process, resulting in no loss during production and effectively reducing drug costs. The tablets exhibit significantly reduced hygroscopicity, facilitating drug storage and transportation. Furthermore, the appearance and content of the tablets remain stable without impurities during room temperature storage, and the tablets can maintain stability for more than 6 months in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. This invention produces a single-dose formulation, making it convenient for patients and healthcare professionals. Attached Figure Description

[0051] Table 2

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] Table 2 shows that lactose helps with tablet formation, increases tablet hardness, and reduces tablet friability. Although pure urea can be compressed into tablets, the tablets are relatively friable. Adding ≥15mg of lactose significantly reduces tablet friability.

[0055] The disintegration of the tablets in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-6 after being combined with citric acid is shown in Table 3.

[0056] Table 3

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] Table 3 shows that tablets containing sodium bicarbonate have significantly shorter disintegration times, making them more convenient for patients to take and reducing waiting time. However, when the amount of sodium bicarbonate exceeds 110 mg, the amount of citric acid is reduced after dissolution, which may decrease the efficacy of the formulation. When the lactose content is below 50 mg, the disintegration is clearer and the sensory acceptance is better.

[0060] The tablets of Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were placed in an environment of 40°C and 75% RH and an environment of 30°C and 65% RH to examine their quality stability. The results are shown in Tables 4, 5 and 6.
