Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and particularly relates to an oral tablet of candesartan cilexetil and amlodipine and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Candesartan is a new type of angiotensin II receptor antagonist that directly acts on ATⅠ receptors to exert a blood pressure-lowering effect. It was first launched in Sweden in 1997 and was approved by the US FDA in 1998 for the treatment of hypertension. Its trade name is Amias. The main ingredient is Candesartan Cilexetil, which is converted into active candesartan after taking it and exerts its therapeutic effect.

[0003] Amlodipine besylate is a new generation of calcium ion antagonist and a third-generation dihydropyridine long-acting calcium ion channel blocker. It can block the influx of extracellular calcium ions into myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cells, moderate the long-term dilation of peripheral blood vessels and coronary blood vessels, and reduce vascular resistance. It is used to treat various degrees of hypertension and variant angina pectoris and stable angina pectoris.

[0004] Candesartan cilexetil has multiple crystal forms, among which Crystal Form I has the advantages of high bioavailability and is widely used in commercial preparations. However, Crystal Form I is easily subjected to external force compression (such as crushing), which leads to an increase in related substances during storage.

[0005] Chinese patent CN102670604B discloses a composition of candesartan cilexetil and amlodipine and a preparation method thereof. The composition contains mannitol or lactose, cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose sodium or cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, etc., and the preparation method is wet granulation, and is prepared into tablets, etc. When prepared into tablets, it is squeezed by external force, which may cause the crystal structure of candesartan cilexetil to change. In addition, amlodipine besylate and lactose may undergo Maillard reaction, resulting in browning of the preparation color.

[0006] Chinese patents CN102688236B, CN103705513A, CN102764258A, CN102688236B, etc. all disclose a composition of candesartan cilexetil and amlodipine, in which PEG6000 is added as a stabilizer. PEG6000 is an oily substance, and is prone to sticking during high-speed tableting. In addition, PEG6000 is not a single component, and the physical and chemical properties of PEG6000 in different batches may have certain differences, thereby affecting the quality of the preparation. In addition, the improper use of PEG6000 in the preparation prescription will also affect the stability of the sample, which brings certain difficulties to the preparation development.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a candesartan cilexetil and amlodipine oral tablet with stable quality and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention
