Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oral solid preparations, and particularly to a drug that is convenient for patients to take. Technical Background

[0002] Infantile hemangioma (IH) is one of the most common benign tumors in infants and young children globally, with an incidence rate of about 4%-5% in newborns and showing an increasing trend year by year. The disease is more common in females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:3 to 1:5, and about 60% occurs in the head and neck. Hemangioma is a benign vascular tumor characterized by endothelial cell proliferation, generally occurring within one week to one month after the baby is born. The early manifestation is a small red spot, which then rapidly enlarges and undergoes rapid proliferation at 1 month and 4-5 months of age in the child. Although some hemangiomas can regress spontaneously, local erythema, pigment changes, capillary dilation, atrophic scars, and fibroadipose tissue neoplasms often remain after regression, posing a risk of affecting the child's appearance or even disfiguring, bringing obvious psychosocial harm to children in the growth and development stage and their parents. Approximately 10% of severe hemangiomas can cause serious functional impairments. When IH occurs in a large area or in special anatomical locations (eyes, respiratory tract), it may cause local compressive obstruction, thereby possibly leading to organ dysfunction (such as amblyopia or even blindness, respiratory obstruction or even failure), and seriously threatening the life of the child when severe.

[0003] The drug of the present invention is a drug that is convenient for patients to take, and its active ingredient is propranolol, with the English name Propranolol, the chemical name being 1-isopropylamino-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-2-propanol hydrochloride, and its molecular formula being C 16 H 21 NO2·HCl, with a molecular weight of 295.81, and the chemical structural formula being:

[0004]

[0005] Propranolol hydrochloride tablets (プロプラノロール塩酸塩 / Propranolol hydrochloride) is a β-blocker developed by ICI (now AstraZeneca) in the UK for the treatment of hypertension, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, etc. Propranolol hydrochloride tablets were initially approved in the UK in 1965 and subsequently marketed. In August 1966, Propranolol hydrochloride tablets of AstraZeneca were first marketed in Japan, with a specification of 10 mg and the trade name In November 1967, the FDA first approved Propranolol tablets of WYETH PHARMS INC for marketing in the US, with marketed specifications of 10 mg, 20 mg, and 40 mg and the trade name

[0006] In 2008, Leaute-Labreze C, a doctor at Bordeaux Children's Hospital in France, first reported in The New England Journal of Medicine that propranolol can be used to treat IH (infantile hemangioma)! This is one of the most significant discoveries in the history of hemangioma treatment!

[0007] Propranolol is used to treat IH, with significant efficacy and no obvious complications - this is another new clinical application discovery of propranolol, a classic compound! This discovery also obtained the patent for the new indication of propranolol for the treatment of infantile hemangioma. In April 2014, the US FDA accelerated the approval of Hemangeol (propranolol hydrochloride oral solution) from Pierre Fabre, France, as an orphan drug, which was the world's first drug for the treatment of infantile hemangioma. Since then, Hemangeol has quickly become the first-line treatment drug for infantile hemangioma and has been included in the treatment guidelines and expert consensus of infantile hemangioma in various countries.

[0008] The following problems exist when using propranolol hydrochloride oral solution:

[0009] (1) For non-medical personnel, using a syringe to extract a solution with an accuracy of 0.1 ml, it is uncertain whether the volume of liquid extracted can meet the treatment needs.

[0010] (2) The drug is administered by placing the oral administration syringe on the inside of the child's cheek and then slowly pushing the propranolol hydrochloride oral solution into the child's mouth. This method requires controlling the administration speed, which is not conducive to parents administering the drug. If parents use too much force, it will cause the child to choke and cough, and in severe cases it may be life-threatening.

[0011] (3) As the child grows, there is uncertainty as to whether the syringe outlet can be accurately placed close to the inside of the cheek. If the syringe outlet is not placed close to the inside of the cheek, the child may choke and cough, which may be life-threatening in severe cases.

[0012] (4) When the infant is young, the dosage is small. When a 5 ml syringe is used for administration, there will be residual solution on the tube wall and the syringe cone, and the therapeutic dose may not be reached.

[0013] It can be seen that the existing propranolol hydrochloride oral solution is not suitable for children, patients with dysphagia, etc.

[0014] Traditional solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules are considered inappropriate due to swallowing difficulties in children. Therefore, drugs acceptable to pediatric patients are usually formulated as suspensions, oral granules, oral solutions, and more recently, microtablets. To date, the most commonly prescribed formulations for pediatric patients are liquid formulations because of the ease of administration. Liquids are the most commonly used pediatric formulations; however, they have many disadvantages such as chemical, physical, and microbiological instability, palatability of solutions, accuracy of dosage, lack of controlled release, and increased toxicological risks. There are also limitations on the use of excipients, preservatives, and solvents in pediatric formulations.

[0015] In a recent study, it was reported that microtablets were superior to syrups in the administration of drugs to children and could be a flexible delivery vehicle for single-unit or multi-unit complexes. Therefore, microtablets offer a very promising option in liquid formulations for administration to children of different age groups.

[0016] "Microtablets" generally refer to miniature tablets with a standard tablet diameter between 1 and 3 (mm). Microtablets combine the advantages of solid and liquid formulations because they allow for precise and individual dosing based on age, weight, body surface area, dosage adjustments, and therapeutic needs. They can improve patient compliance because they are easy to swallow or mix with food. In addition to the advantages of drug delivery, microtablets have many other advantages, such as customized delivery methods based on release rate and mechanism to target release to different parts of the gastrointestinal tract.

[0017] Microtablet production and quality control have higher requirements than ordinary tablets. In particular, the content uniformity of small-sized microtablets is a technical problem. The use of the above-mentioned preparation process will make it difficult to control the content uniformity of microtablets and easily produce products with unqualified content uniformity.

[0018] Therefore, providing a propranolol microtablet with stable product quality, reliable efficacy, qualified content uniformity, reasonable dissolution and simple preparation process to meet the medication needs of children, patients with dysphagia, etc. has significant economic and social benefits.
