Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and more specifically, relates to a preparation method and application of a meloxicam ophthalmic preparation. Technical Background

[0002] At present, drugs for treating ocular inflammation mainly include corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, prostaglandin (PG) inhibitors and antihistamines. Among them, eye drops made of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) not only have strong permeability in the eye, but also have good anti-inflammatory effects, and avoid the side effects of long-term use of corticosteroids.

[0003] At present, it is believed that the mechanism of action of NSAIDs is mainly to inhibit prostaglandin cyclooxygenase (COX), preventing arachidonic acid from being converted into PG, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. COX has two isomers, namely COX-1 and COX-2. The stronger the inhibitory effect on COX-1, the greater the adverse reactions to the digestive tract, kidneys, etc.; and the stronger the inhibitory effect on COX-2, the more significant its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

[0004] Meloxicam is a selective COX-2 inhibitor. The results of in vitro and in vivo experiments show that meloxicam has a strong inhibitory effect on COX-2 related to inflammation, while its inhibitory activity on COX-1, which is required to maintain normal physiology, is weak. Therefore, the side effects related to COX-1 are smaller. Therefore, using meloxicam, which selectively inhibits COX-2, as an ocular anti-inflammatory agent not only has good efficacy but also has little damage to ocular tissues, and has a good industrial development prospect.

[0005] Meloxicam is a poorly soluble drug, and cyclodextrin has the characteristics of high solubility and good inclusion effect on poorly soluble drug molecules. Therefore, it can be used to improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs, enhance stability, reduce drug eye irritation, improve drug penetration into the cornea and bioavailability, and even produce a sustained release effect.

[0006] Meloxicam is added to a cyclodextrin aqueous solution, and the hydrophobic group is included in the hydrophobic cavity of the cyclodextrin to form a drug-cyclodextrin complex. The hydrophilic part of the cyclodextrin outside increases the solubility of the drug while preventing the drug from contacting with external factors, thereby increasing the stability of the drug. Currently, cyclodextrin inclusion compound preparations are sold in the Japanese and European markets. For example, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. has successfully developed an antipsychotic drug ziprasidone injection using SBE-β-CD as an inclusion material and has been launched in the United States.

[0007] Chinese patent application CN1301177A discloses a method for preparing meloxicam eye drops, specifically disclosing castor oil and Tween-80 as solvents and solubilizers, which makes the compliance and safety of eye medication a major concern. Chinese patent CN103110575B discloses a meloxicam eye drop preparation and a preparation method thereof, which can be used for the treatment of ocular inflammation and shows that meloxicam eye drops have excellent effects, but the prescription provided by the patent contains antibacterial agents such as ethyl hydroxybenzoate. In ophthalmic preparations for surgical operations and emergency treatment, it is not appropriate to add antibacterial agents or antioxidants or inappropriate additives, which will increase irritation and further aggravate inflammation. In addition, the prescription contains thickeners such as povidone and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, which increase their retention time in the eye, further deepen irritation and aggravate inflammation. The above problems all lead to the existence of major safety hazards in the use of the eye drop preparation, and poor patient compliance.

[0008] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, developing a meloxicam eye drop that does not contain antibacterial agents but can achieve sterility assurance, and can effectively accelerate the healing of eye wounds and alleviate inflammatory symptoms, and reduce eye irritation, is still a key technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Effect Example Part:

[0061] Effect Example 1: Stability test method of eye drops prepared in each example and comparative example 1. Influencing factor test

[0062] The eye drops prepared by each prescription process were placed at 60°C for 10 days. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0063]

[0064]

[0065] From the stability results of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that:

[0066] (1) Adjusting the order of adding excipients and adding sodium hydroxide before adding meloxicam can improve the stability of eye drops.

[0067] (2) The use of a horizontal flow pump process can improve the stability of eye drops.

[0068] (3) The hydroxypropoxy content of hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin affects the stability of eye drops. The higher the hydroxypropoxy content, the better the stability of the eye drops.

[0069] (4) Under the process conditions of the present invention, the eye drops without adding hypromellose have better stability than those with adding this ingredient.

[0070] Effect Example 2: Pharmacodynamic Evaluation

[0071] The pharmacodynamics of the eye drops of each embodiment and comparative example were evaluated by using the rabbit anterior chamber puncture test and the capsicum tincture-induced eye inflammation test. The results showed that the meloxicam eye drops prepared by the prescription process of the present invention had better anti-inflammatory effect than the comparative example. The specific test process and results are as follows:

[0072] 1. Rabbit anterior chamber puncture test

[0073] Twenty-four rabbits without eye abnormalities were randomly divided into four groups, each with six rabbits, namely, negative control group, Example 3 group, Example 5 group, and Comparative Example 1 group. 0.05 mL of the drug solution was instilled into the experimental eyes of the rabbits in each group, and the eyes were passively closed for 10 seconds. After 45 minutes, 0.2 mL of 1% tetracaine was dropped under local anesthesia, and 4 1 / 2The corneal limbus was punctured with a needle of injection number 2 to obtain 0.2 mL of aqueous humor. After 90 minutes, the aqueous humor was punctured again to obtain a second batch of aqueous humor. The two batches of aqueous humor were diluted 2 times and 50 times respectively. Then, 0.05 mL of distilled water, aqueous humor diluent and standard protein solution were taken, and 3 mL of Coomassie brilliant blue staining solution were added respectively. After reacting for 10 minutes, the absorbance was measured at 595 nm, and the protein content was calculated according to the following formula:

[0074]

[0075] The results showed that Example 3 and Example 5 were more effective than Comparative Example 1 in inhibiting the increase in aqueous humor protein concentration caused by anterior chamber puncture, with significant differences. The specific test results are shown in Table 3 below.

[0076] Table 3 Meloxicam eye drops anterior chamber puncture test aqueous humor protein concentration results (mean ± SD, n = 6)

[0077]

[0078] Note: Compared with control group 1, **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; compared with negative control group, △ P < 0.05; △△ P < 0.01; △△△ P<0.001.

[0079] 2. Test on eye inflammation caused by pepper tincture

[0080] 18 rabbits with no eye abnormalities were randomly divided into 3 groups, 6 rabbits in each group, namely the negative control group, the 0.1% meloxicam control group (Comparative Example 1) and the 0.1% meloxicam treatment group (Example 3). Before administration, 0.1 mL of 5% capsicum tincture was dripped into the experimental eye (left) of each rabbit, and the eye was passively closed for about 10 seconds to cause an inflammatory reaction in the eye, which was manifested as congestion, edema and increased secretions of the iris, conjunctiva and cornea. Administration began 30 minutes later, with 0.1 mL of the drug solution dripped into each group each time, once every 30 minutes, for a total of 6 times, and then once every 1 hour, for a total of 5 times, and observed regularly. Score and record according to the eye irritation reaction scoring standard (Table 4) below. Calculate the mean of the total score of the experimental eyes in different experimental groups. The results are shown in Table 5 Eye irritation reaction score. Eye efficacy diagram is shown in Figure 1 .

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] Table 5 Inhibitory effect of meloxicam eye drops on rabbit ocular inflammation induced by pepper tincture (mean ± SD, n = 6)

[0085]

[0086] Note: Compared with the comparative example 1, * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P<0.001; compared with the negative control group, Δ P < 0.05; ΔΔ P < 0.01; ΔΔΔ P<0.001.

[0087] Compared with the negative control group, the 0.1% meloxicam treatment group (Example 3) has significantly controlled inflammation since 1 hour, and the 0.1% meloxicam control group (Comparative Example 1) has significantly controlled inflammation since 4 hours, indicating that Example 3 can take effect earlier to control inflammation. From 1 hour to 8 hours, the eye scores of the 0.1% meloxicam treatment group (Example 3) and the 0.1% meloxicam group (Comparative Example 1) are significantly different. And as time goes by, the anti-inflammatory effect becomes more obvious.

[0088] 3. Comparison of eye irritation of meloxicam eye drops

[0089] 24 rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, namely, a blank group (NaCl), a negative control group (blank eye drops without active ingredients), a 0.1% meloxicam eye drops test group (Example 3), and a 0.1% meloxicam eye drops control group (Comparative Example 1). The left eye of each group of rabbits was administered 4 times a day, 100 μL each time, for 21 consecutive days. One hour after the last administration, the left eye of the rabbit was evaluated for in vivo irritation using the improved Draize test method, including corneal transparency, iris redness, conjunctival congestion, swelling and secretions to evaluate the degree of eye irritation damage. The evaluation criteria are shown in Table 6, the scoring results are shown in Table 7, and the irritation diagram is shown in Table 6. Figure 2 .

[0090] Table 6 Eye irritation evaluation criteria

[0091] Points evaluate 0~3 Non-irritating 4~8 Mild irritant 9~12 Moderate irritation 13~16 Severe irritation

[0092] The total score of 0-3 represents no irritation, 4-8 represents mild irritation, 9-12 represents moderate irritation, and 13-16 represents strong irritation. The results are shown in Table 7.

[0093] Table 7 Ocular irritation scoring results of meloxicam eye drops (mean ± SD, n = 6)

[0094]

[0095] Note: Compared with the comparative example 1, *** P<0.001; compared with the negative control group, ΔΔΔ P<0.001.

[0096] Table 7 shows that the negative control group (blank excipient) is mildly irritating. Compared with the blank group, the integrity of the cornea is damaged, the iris is wrinkled or the color is darkened, and the conjunctiva is congested, swollen, and the secretions increase. Figure 2 It can be seen that long-term use of eye drops containing antibacterial agents and viscosity enhancers (such as benzalkonium chloride and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) (Comparative Example 1) has a destructive effect on the integrity of the cornea, and causes redness and swelling of the conjunctiva and increased secretions.

[0097] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
