Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to a rivaroxaban orally disintegrating tablet and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The incidence of venous thromboembolism in my country has increased year by year, from 0.28‰ in 2004 to 0.48‰ in 2016. It is worth noting that the incidence of venous thromboembolism increases exponentially with age. The annual incidence rate of people aged 50 is less than 1‰, while the annual incidence rate of people over 80 is as high as 6‰ to 8‰. In addition, the incidence rate of venous thrombosis in the elderly over 75 years old is 7 to 10 times that of adults under 50 years old. my country has entered an aging society with a large elderly population, including hospitalized elderly patients and ordinary elderly groups at home and in nursing homes. They are all high-risk groups for venous thromboembolism. Therefore, it needs to attract widespread attention and attention from the whole society.
[0003] Rivaroxaban is a new oral anticoagulant that is widely used in the following situations:
[0004] 1. Prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE): such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
[0005] 2. Prevent stroke and systemic embolism in patients with atrial fibrillation: Patients with atrial fibrillation are prone to blood clots, increasing the risk of stroke.
[0006] 3. Prevent thrombosis after major surgery: such as hip or knee replacement surgery, to help reduce the risk of postoperative thrombosis.
[0007] The chemical name of rivaroxaban is 5-chloro-nitrogen-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}methyl)-2-thiophene-carboxamide, and the chemical structure is as follows:
[0008]
[0009] The molecular weight is 435.88, and it belongs to the low solubility, high permeability compound (Class II) in the biopharmaceutical classification system. Its solubility in aqueous media is limited and is not affected by pH (5-7 mg / L; pH 1-9). It exhibits moderate lipophilicity when the logP value (octanol / water partition) coefficient is 1.5, which is reflected in its low to moderate affinity for peripheral tissues. The slow dissolution rate and low bioavailability have a certain impact on the absorption of drugs in the body.
[0010] The rivaroxaban available on the market in China comes in the form of tablets, granules, and dry suspensions. Tablets are difficult to swallow, and granules and dry suspensions need to be taken after being rinsed with water. They are not suitable for bedridden patients after surgery and patients with swallowing difficulties.
[0011] The Chinese patent with publication number CN 114533899 B discloses a rivaroxaban preparation and a preparation method thereof, including rivaroxaban, cellulose, and pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. By preparing an inclusion compound intermediate and further preparing a preparation, the problem of rivaroxaban being poorly soluble is solved. However, the preparation process is cumbersome, and organic reagents are used in the process, and the process requirements are relatively high, which is not conducive to commercial production.
[0012] Patent document CN118001245B discloses a rivaroxaban orally disintegrating tablet and a preparation method thereof, which comprises internal granulation particles and external excipients; the internal granulation particles include rivaroxaban, fillers, binders, disintegrants, solubilizers, and the external excipients include disintegrants, fillers, glidants, and lubricants; and are further compressed into tablets. However, the prepared tablets have a low hardness, are easily worn, and are difficult to withstand physical impacts during production, transportation, and use.
[0013] As dosage forms of oral solid preparations in the fields of medicine and food, tablets, capsules, granules, powders, etc. are known, and it is desired to develop orally disintegrating tablets that quickly disintegrate and dissolve when placed in the mouth or in water as a dosage form that is easier to be taken by the elderly, bedridden patients after surgery, and patients with swallowing difficulties.
[0014] The orally disintegrating tablet is required to have the property of rapid disintegration in the oral cavity and to have sufficient hardness so that it can withstand physical impacts during production, transportation and use like a traditional tablet. Summary of the invention

[0028]
[0029] On the other hand, the present invention provides a method for preparing the rivaroxaban orally disintegrating tablet, comprising the following steps:
[0030] 1) Preparation of granulation liquid: adding pregelatinized starch into stirred purified water, stirring and dispersing to form a pregelatinized starch suspension;
[0031] 2) Blank granulation: Step 1) prepares a liquid as a slurry, uses a portion of the blank granules in the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose and mannitol as the inner granules for granulation, and performs fluidized bed granulation; sprays the slurry onto the inner granules, and continues to dry in the fluidized bed after the slurry is sprayed, to obtain blank granules;
[0032] 3) Preparation of granulation liquid: sodium lauryl sulfate is added to purified water and stirred until completely dissolved, hypromellose is added while stirring, and stirred until completely dissolved, and then the prescribed amount of rivaroxaban is added to prepare a rivaroxaban suspension, and homogenized to make it evenly dispersed;
[0033] 4) Granulation of drug-containing particles: In step 3), a liquid is prepared as a slurry, and a portion of the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the drug-containing particles is used as the inner particles for granulation, and the slurry is sprayed onto the inner particles. After the slurry is sprayed, the particles are dried in the fluidized bed to obtain drug-containing particles.
[0034] 5) Pretreatment of excipients: The prescribed amount of colloidal silicon dioxide is sieved together with part of the drug-containing particles.
[0035] 6) Total mixing: blank granules, drug-containing granules, the pre-treated additional excipients in step 5), and cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone are mixed together, and magnesium stearate is added and then mixed again.
[0036] 7) Tablet compression: Use a round punch die to compress orally disintegrating tablets.
[0037] In some embodiments, the fluidized bed granulation conditions of step 2) are: setting the air inlet temperature to 60±5°C, the material temperature to 40°C±5°C, the fan frequency to 25±5HZ, the atomization pressure to 2bar, and the spray speed to 170rpm.
[0038] In some embodiments, the fluidized bed granulation conditions of step 4) are: setting the inlet air temperature to 60±5°C, the material temperature to 40°C±5°C, the fan frequency to 30±5HZ, the atomization pressure to 2bar, and the spray speed to 150rpm.
[0039] In some embodiments, in step 7), an orally disintegrating tablet is pressed using a 8.5 mm round punch die with a theoretical tablet weight of 180 mg and a hardness of 70-80 N.
[0040] As microcrystalline cellulose with a bulk density of 0.23 g / cm3 or less, commercially available microcrystalline cellulose can be used. Examples may include microcrystalline cellulose KG-1000 (bulk density: 0.10 to 0.15 g / cm3) and microcrystalline cellulose KG-802 (bulk density: 0.13 to 0.23 g / cm3).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0047] The following embodiments can enable those skilled in the art to more fully understand the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments.
[0048] Since the added drugs will not significantly affect the pharmaceutical properties of the orally disintegrating tablet, experiments were conducted without adding drugs in some of the following examples.
[0049] The hardness was measured by means of a tablet continuous measuring device (mean values of 10 tablets are described).
[0050] The disintegration time was obtained by measuring the time required for the test tablet to completely disintegrate by placing the tablet in a disintegration apparatus (describing the average value of six samples).
[0051] A dissolution development target of greater than 80% at 30 min was established (describing the average of six samples).
[0052] The friability was measured according to the “0923 Tablet Friability Test Method” in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

The slurry is sprayed onto the inner granules using a top atomizing spray gun. After the slurry is sprayed, continue to dry in the fluidized bed to obtain drug-containing granules.
[0062] 5) Pretreatment of excipients: The prescribed amount of colloidal silicon dioxide and part of the drug-containing particles are sieved through a 40-mesh sieve.
[0063] 6) Total mixing: blank granules, drug-containing granules, pre-treated additional excipients in step 5) and cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone are mixed together in a mixer for 12 minutes, and magnesium stearate is added and mixed for another 3 minutes.
[0064] 7) Tablet compression: Use 8.5 mm round punch die, theoretical tablet weight 180 mg, hardness 70-80 N.
[0065] Conclusion: It is known from Comparative Examples 1-2 and Example 1 that, except for the particle size of the raw material drug, other conditions are the same. The particle size D90 of the rivaroxaban raw material drug used in Comparative Example 1 is about 32 μm, the particle size D90 of the rivaroxaban raw material drug used in Comparative Example 2 is about 21 μm, and the particle size D90 of the rivaroxaban raw material drug used in Example 1 is about 15 μm. The disintegration times of the obtained orally disintegrating tablets are 42S, 43S, and 40S, respectively, and there is no obvious difference in the disintegration time, indicating that within the range of D90 less than 32 μm, the particle size of the raw material drug has no effect on the disintegration time; the 30min dissolution rate is 62% for Comparative Example 1, 81% for Comparative Example 2, and 90% for Example 1. The dissolution rate increases as the raw material particle size decreases. Only when the particle size D90 of the raw material drug is less than 21 μm, the 30min dissolution rate meets the development target.
[0066] 2. Investigation of bulk density of microcrystalline cellulose
[0067] The prescription compositions of Comparative Examples 3-4 and Example 2, Comparative Examples 5-6 and Example 1 are as follows:
[0068] Prescription composition Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 4 Example 2 Mannitol 858 600 556 Microcrystalline Cellulose / 267 251 Microcrystalline cellulose bulk density / 0.35-0.46 g / cm3 0.13-0.23 g / cm3 Pregelatinized starch 33 33 33 water 566 300 380 Magnesium Stearate 7.2 7.3 6.8 Tablet weight / mg 180 180 180 Tableting pressure / KN 10 10 10 Hardness / N 36 53 104 Disintegration time / S 38 59 33 Friability / % 3.7 1.8 0 Number of cracks after friability test 3 2 0
[0069] Comparative Example 3 Preparation method: 858 g of mannitol was placed in a fluidized bed granulator, and a liquid obtained by dispersing 33 g of pregelatinized starch in 566 g of purified water was sprayed thereon and dried to produce a granular product. The obtained granular product was mixed with 7.2 g of stearic acid, and the mixture was tableted in a rotary tablet press at a tableting pressure of 8 KN and 10 KN to produce an orally disintegrating tablet.
[0070] Comparative Example 4, Example 2 Preparation method: The prescribed amount of mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose are placed in a fluidized bed granulator, and a liquid obtained by dispersing pregelatinized starch in purified water is sprayed thereon and dried to produce a granular product. The obtained granular product is mixed with magnesium stearate, and the mixture is tableted in a rotary tablet press at a tableting pressure of 10 KN and 12 KN to produce an orally disintegrating tablet.
[0071] The prescription composition is as follows:
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] The preparation methods of Comparative Examples 5-6 are the same as those of Example 1.
[0075] Conclusion: In the case where microcrystalline cellulose is not added as in Comparative Example 3, the disintegration time is fast, but the friability is high (1% or more), and cracks are produced after the friability test, so it is difficult to prepare an orally disintegrating tablet with balanced hardness and disintegration properties. In addition, in the case where mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose with a high bulk density are added as in Comparative Examples 4 to 5, the friability and hardness are slightly improved, but the friability is still high and cracks are produced, and the disintegration time is prolonged, so it is difficult to prepare an orally disintegrating tablet with balanced hardness and disintegration properties. When mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose with a bulk density of 0.23 g / cm3 or less are added as in Examples 1-2 and Comparative Example 6, an orally disintegrating tablet that ensures rapid disintegration properties and has high hardness and low friability and does not produce cracks can be prepared, but Example 1 has a faster disintegration time limit than Comparative Example 6, and Example 1 is better.
[0076] 3. Investigation of preparation process

[0083] 3) Preparation of granulation liquid: Sodium lauryl sulfate was added to purified water and stirred until completely dissolved. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was added while stirring and stirred until completely dissolved. Then, the prescribed amount of rivaroxaban was added to prepare rivaroxaban suspension. The suspension was homogenized with a homogenizer for 10 minutes to make it evenly dispersed.
[0084] 4) Granulation of drug-containing granules: Step 3) prepare a liquid as a slurry, use a portion of the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the drug-containing granules as the inner granules for granulation, perform fluidized bed granulation, set the inlet air temperature to 60±5°C, the material temperature to 40°C±5°C, the fan frequency to 25±5HZ, the atomization pressure to 2bar, the spray speed to 170rpm, and use a top atomizing spray gun to spray the slurry onto the inner granules.

[0089] Comparative Example 8 prescription composition:
[0090]
[0091]
[0092] The preparation method of Comparative Example 8 is as follows:
[0093] 1) Preparation of granulation liquid: Sodium lauryl sulfate was added to purified water and stirred until completely dissolved. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose was added while stirring and stirred until completely dissolved. Then, the prescribed amount of rivaroxaban was added to prepare rivaroxaban suspension. The suspension was homogenized with a homogenizer for 10 minutes to make it evenly dispersed.
[0094] 2) Granulation of drug-containing particles: Step 3) Prepare a liquid as a slurry, use a portion of the prescribed amount of microcrystalline cellulose, mannitol and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the drug-containing particles as the inner particles for granulation, perform fluidized bed granulation, set the inlet air temperature to 60±5°C, the material temperature to 40°C±5°C, the fan frequency to 25±5HZ, the atomization pressure to 2bar, the spray speed to 170rpm, and use a top atomization spray gun to spray the slurry onto the inner particles.

[0097] 5) Tablet compression: Use 8.5mm round punch die, theoretical tablet weight 180mg, hardness 70~80N.
[0098] Conclusion: Comparative Example 8 adopts the process of direct powder compression, which absorbs water and swells after disintegration, blocking the screen, and cannot meet the requirements. The blank granule technology obtained by fluidized bed granulation by spraying or adding liquid obtained by dispersing pregelatinized starch in pure water has been proven to be a very useful technology for preparing orally disintegrating tablets. This technology greatly improves the disintegration time of tablets and improves flowability and compressibility.
