Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to an empagliflozin composition and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Sodium-glucose cotransporters (SGLTs) are a class of glucose transporters found in the small intestinal mucosa and renal proximal tubules, mainly including SGLT1 protein and SGLT2 protein. Among them, SGLT2 protein has a higher expression level in the kidney and is mainly responsible for the regulation of the renal reuptake of glucose. That is, glucose in urine can actively attach to renal tubular epithelial cells when passing through glomerular filtration and be transported into the cell for reuse through SGLT2 protein. In this process, SGLT2 is responsible for 90% of the reabsorption process, and the remaining 10% is completed by SGLT1. Since this process does not intervene in the metabolism of glucose, it avoids or reduces the occurrence of adverse reactions of hypoglycemia and reduces the risk of causing cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, SGLTs have become one of the ideal potential targets for the treatment of diabetes.

[0003] CN102387783A discloses a pyranose glucopyranosyl diphenylmethane derivative and a composition thereof, which was later named empagliflozin, and is a SGLT2 inhibitor that inhibits SGLT2 protein, reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidney, lowers the renal glucose threshold, and promotes glucose excretion from urine, thereby improving blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin was approved for marketing in 2014 and is suitable for the treatment of adult patients with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved adequate blood sugar control with diet and exercise, and the marketed dosage form is tablets.

[0004] Empagliflozin is a poorly soluble drug. Generally speaking, the microscopic size of a poorly soluble solid API, that is, the particle size, is inversely proportional to its absorption difficulty. The larger the particle size, the smaller and slower the absorption. On the contrary, the smaller the particle size, the larger and faster the absorption. However, due to the reduction in the particle size of the powder, the compressibility of the powder will deteriorate, the surface area will increase, the surface energy will increase, the static electricity will increase, etc., which will cause its dissolution performance or bioavailability to show the opposite trend. In CN115531332B, empagliflozin is highly dispersed in hydrophilic polyethylene glycol to achieve the purpose of enhancing the dispersion effect, increasing the speed and degree of drug dissolution, and improving bioavailability. However, although this technology temporarily improves the dissolution rate and extent of the drug, due to the highly hydrophilic properties of polyethylene glycol and the electrostatic charge of the poorly soluble drug empagliflozin dispersed therein during processing, during the storage of the composition, as the hydrophilic matrix absorbs moisture, the dispersed drugs will inevitably aggregate again, resulting in a downward trend in the dissolution of the drug in the composition, further affecting the bioavailability of the drug. Summary of the invention

[0005] In response to the above-mentioned existing technical problems, the present invention provides an empagliflozin composition and a preparation method thereof. The empagliflozin composition prepared by this method has a high dissolution rate and the dissolution rate and degree do not change under long-term conditions and accelerated conditions.

[0006] The present invention discloses an empagliflozin composition, comprising the following components in parts by weight:

[0007] 3-5 parts of empagliflozin, 15-30 parts of adsorbent, 1-3 parts of inorganic salt, 40-60 parts of filler, 3-7 parts of disintegrant, 1-2 parts of glidant, and 0.5-1.5 parts of lubricant.

[0008] Preferably, the adsorbent is hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose or ethyl cellulose.

[0009] Preferably, the preferred material of the adsorbent is hydroxypropyl cellulose, the weight average molecular weight of the hydroxypropyl cellulose is in the range of 40,000 to 80,000; and the viscosity of the hydroxypropyl cellulose is in the range of 0.3 to 0.6 Pa·S.

[0010] Preferably, the inorganic salt is a strong electrolyte inorganic salt that can dissolve in water and helps to eliminate the static charge of the empagliflozin microparticles precipitated in the solution; it can be a sodium salt, a potassium salt or a calcium salt.

[0011] Preferably, the inorganic salt is a monovalent metal salt, more preferably sodium chloride.

[0012] Preferably, the filler is starch, lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or a co-processed product of the above excipients.

[0013] Preferably, the filler is a co-processed product of lactose and microcrystalline cellulose in a mass ratio of 3:1.

[0014] The present invention also discloses a method for preparing an empagliflozin composition, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1 mixing: dissolving empagliflozin in ethanol and placing it in a container with a high-speed pneumatic stirring device, adding an adsorbent after starting stirring, and then dissolving an inorganic salt in purified water to prepare an inorganic salt solution, slowly adding the prepared inorganic salt solution to the above container to form a white opalescent emulsion, placing the emulsion in a fluidized bed for spray drying to obtain a white powder;

[0016] S2 tableting: the white powder obtained in step S1 is added to a mixer with a filler, a disintegrant, a retention aid and a lubricant for mixing. After stirring evenly, the mixture is put into a tablet press for tableting to obtain an empagliflozin composition.

[0017] Preferably, in the mixing step S1, the rotation speed of the stirring device is 2000-3000 rpm.

[0018] Preferably, in the S1 mixing step, the pressure of the fluidized bed is 0.2-0.4 MPa; and the temperature is 69-71°C.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention dissolves empagliflozin in ethanol in a molecular state, and adds a cellulose ether polymer material having a network microstructure and high steric hindrance to the solution, and gradually supersaturates empagliflozin by slowly adding a certain amount of water to the solution. Under high-speed stirring and the presence of an adsorbent in the solution, extremely small crystals are precipitated and adsorbed in the network structure of the cellulose ether. At the same time, since the water contains strong electrolytes, the static charge of the particles can be eliminated, and the aggregation of the particles can be inhibited during storage, so that the particles can maintain a low particle size and a highly dispersed state for a long time, thereby improving the dissolution rate and dissolution degree of the composition, and further ensuring that the bioavailability of empagliflozin in the composition is not reduced.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the composition provided by the present invention can reach the dissolution platform faster, the dissolution rate of the dissolution platform is higher, and the dissolution rate and degree will not change under long-term conditions and accelerated conditions.

[0074]

[0075] The empagliflozin compositions prepared in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were placed under long-term conditions of 25°C ± 2°C and RH of 60% ± 10% for 12 weeks, and then their dissolution curves in a phosphate buffer medium with a pH of 6.8 were compared.

From the experimental data in Tables 2 to 4, the empagliflozin composition prepared in Example 2 has a higher dissolution rate, reaches the dissolution platform faster, and can show good dissolution rate and solubility after long-term storage and long-term storage at high temperature. This is because in Example 2, empagliflozin is dissolved in ethanol in a molecular state, and a cellulose ether polymer material having a network microstructure and high steric hindrance is added to the solution. A certain amount of water is slowly added to the solution to gradually supersaturate empagliflozin. Under high-speed stirring and the presence of an adsorbent in the solution, extremely small crystals are precipitated and adsorbed in the network structure of the cellulose ether. At the same time, since the water contains strong electrolytes, the static charge of the particles can be eliminated, and the aggregation of the particles can be inhibited during storage, so that the particles can maintain a low particle size and highly dispersed state for a long time, thereby improving the dissolution rate and dissolution degree of the composition, and further ensuring that the bioavailability of empagliflozin in the composition is not reduced.
