Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, and relates to amlodipine potassium granules and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Amlodipine potassium is a prodrug of azilsartan, which can be rapidly converted into azilsartan after oral absorption. Azilsartan, as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, blocks the angiotensin II receptor, thereby inhibiting vasoconstriction and reducing peripheral vascular tension to achieve a blood pressure lowering effect. At present, the marketed dosage form of amlodipine potassium is only tablets.
[0003] Amlodipine potassium, as a potent and selective antagonist, has a significant and persistent blood pressure lowering effect in vivo compared with other angiotensin II receptor antagonist drugs. However, amlodipine potassium belongs to BCS Class IV drugs, has low solubility and is almost insoluble in water. Solubility is a key factor affecting the bioavailability of amlodipine potassium. In addition, tablets are difficult to take, and need to be absorbed and swollen and disintegrated into granules before being released in the body, which increases the absorption barrier. Furthermore, amlodipine potassium is an ester salt, which is easily hydrolyzed into azilsartan during the stability period, and has slightly poor chemical stability.
[0004] The original research patent with the publication number CN101677961A discloses that the microenvironment of the active substance is improved by adding a pH adjuster to improve stability and dissolution. However, this method is slightly complex, and the tablets need to be dried under reduced pressure for 16 hours before packaging, which is a relatively harsh production condition. Moreover, the original research marketed product still needs to be packaged in a high-density polyethylene bottle with an additional 2-box cylindrical desiccant package to ensure product stability. Meanwhile, the granular preparation disclosed in the patent has insufficient taste and stability.
[0005] The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN119424358A discloses a method for improving dissolution and stability and improving taste. Amlodipine potassium microtablets are filled into hollow capsules to isolate the special odor and moisture of amlodipine potassium, improve patient compliance and preparation stability. Moreover, the bioavailability can be improved by increasing the specific surface area of the microtablets compared with ordinary tablets. However, the volume of the capsule-filled preparation is increased, which is not conducive to swallowing for elderly hypertensive patients, and the capsule shell is prone to crosslinking and aging during the stability period. The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN119564629A discloses amlodipine potassium tablets and a preparation method thereof. A moisture-proof coating liquid is used to coat amlodipine potassium tablets. The moisture absorption of the prepared amlodipine potassium tablets is significantly reduced, and the stability is good. However, the patent application focuses on tablets and does not focus on the improvement needs of granular preparations. The patent adds a pH adjuster in the coating composition, which is prone to moisture absorption and has a large amount, which has an adverse effect on stability.
[0006] Granules are the urgent needs of patients with poor compliance, such as elderly patients, patients with difficulty in swallowing and poor compliance, who often have difficulty in swallowing tablets / capsules; granules can be directly washed or sprinkled on food, solving the pain of "swallowing", and can accurately dose (such as 20 mg, 40 mg), which is convenient for patients with large body weight difference and small dose starting. At the same time, granules have the potential for development and expansion, and can be further developed into compound granules, and can be packaged into single-dose bags, which is suitable for primary hospitals and home scenarios.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new irbesartan potassium granule preparation to improve patient medication compliance, and good solubility and stability to improve bioavailability. SUMMARY

[0065] Comparative Example 3 Compared with Example 1, the only difference is that the prescription is different, and the prescription is the original preparation, as shown in Table 11 below.
[0066] Table 11

Then add the glidant magnesium stearate. Set the rotation speed to 10 rpm and mix for 5 min. The milrinone granules are obtained.
[0070] Comparative Example 4 The prescription of Example 3 of the patent application CN 119564629 A is the same as that of the milrinone tablet, except for the preparation method. The specific prescription is shown in Table 12 below: Table 12
[0071] The stomach-soluble film coating premix is a composition of polyvinyl alcohol, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol, and talc in a weight ratio of 10:6:5:4. The polyvinyl alcohol is type 05-88, and the polyethylene glycol is polyethylene glycol 4000.

[0082] Detection of taste The taste of the irbesartan granules prepared in Examples 1-8 and Comparative Examples 1-4 above and the original preparation was detected by integrated score evaluation method (ISEM), and the results are shown in Table 16 below.
[0083] Table 16: Results of taste detection
[0084] Note: The original preparation is a tablet, which is directly purchased from the market and taken as a whole. No evaluation is made because there is no grittiness or stickiness.
[0085] From the taste detection results in Table 16 above, it can be seen that: The average scores of the granules of meixenatan potassium prepared in Examples 1-8 are all above 90. In Comparative Example 1, no latent solvent is added, which only slightly affects the taste, and the average score is still above 90. In Comparative Example 2, no granule coating is performed, although there are flavoring agents, the special smell of meixenatan potassium is still not completely covered, and the smell and taste scores are slightly low, which are 84 and 80, respectively. In Comparative Example 3, the composition is consistent with the original research tablet, no taste masking is performed, and the adhesive hydroxypropyl cellulose is added, which increases the viscosity of the solution, so the smell, taste and stickiness scores are all low. In Comparative Example 4, only granule coating is performed to mask the taste, and no flavoring agent is added, so the smell and taste scores are slightly low, which are 80 and 81, respectively.
[0086] In summary, the use of coating to mask the taste in the present application effectively improves the smell and taste of the preparation, and the special effect of the flavoring agent can effectively improve the taste. The taste of the finally obtained product is better than that of the original research preparation.
[0087] Stability detection of detection example 2 1. The meixenatan potassium granules prepared in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-7 above are packaged using polyester / aluminum / polyethylene pharmaceutical composite film. The packaged samples and the original research preparation (with the same packaging form) are placed together in severe conditions (50°C, 75% RH), and the change in related substances during the stability period is investigated, and the results are as follows in Table 17.
[0088] The detection method of related substances is high performance liquid chromatography (ChP 2020 edition four-part general rule 0512). The limit requirement is: impurity AQK-4A≤0.20%; azilsartan≤4.5%; impurity AQK-6C≤0.50%; impurity AQK-6D≤0.25%; other single impurities≤0.20%; total amount of impurities (excluding azilsartan)≤2.0%.
[0089] Table 17 Stability detection results
[0090] Note: “ND” represents not detected.
[0091] From the related substance detection results in Table 17 above under severe conditions, it can be seen that: The total impurities of the meixenatan potassium particles prepared in Examples 1-6 were all below 0.9% after being stored at 50°C for 60 days; the preparation process of Comparative Example 1 was the same as that of the examples, and after granule coating, the total impurities of the sample were 0.77% after being stored under severe conditions for 60 days, and the growth level was not higher than that of the original preparation. The total impurities of the sample of Comparative Example 2, which was not coated with granules, increased from 0.16% to 1.63% after being stored for 60 days, and the growth rate was greater than that of Examples 1-6. The prescription composition of Comparative Example 3 used the prescription of the original reference preparation, and according to the results of the related substances at 0 days and under severe conditions for 60 days, the impurity growth level of Comparative Example 3 was significantly higher. Comparative Example 4, i.e., using the prescription of the original reference preparation, coated the granules with a coating powder of polyvinyl alcohol as the film-forming agent and a pH adjuster, and the related substances increased to 1.15%, which was lower than that of Comparative Example 3 but still greater than that of Examples 1-6. The reason was that 40% of the hygroscopic and permeable pH adjuster was added to the coating composition, and the amount was large, so it affected the water-blocking and moisture-proof effect of polyvinyl alcohol. Comparative Example 5 lacked copolyvidone S630 in the coating agent composition compared with Example 1, and the total impurities increased from 0.14% to 1.03% after being stored for 60 days, which was higher than that of Examples 1-6. Comparative Example 6 had no polyvinyl alcohol polyethylene glycol copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol mixture in the coating agent composition, and the total impurities increased from 0.13% to 1.25% after being stored for 60 days, which was higher than that of Examples 1-6. Comparative Example 7 replaced copolyvidone S630 with povidone K30 in the coating agent composition, and the total impurities increased to 1.01% after being stored for 60 days, which was higher than that of Examples 1-6 and the original preparation.
[0092] 2. Stability test of simulated granules after transportation, jolting and shaking Comparative Example 5 used polyvinyl alcohol polyethylene glycol copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol mixture as the film-forming agent in the coating agent composition, which had a strong moisture-proof effect, and the impurity growth level was still higher than that of Examples 1-6 after being stored for 60 days. The reason was that the coating composition lacked copolyvidone S630, which had a slightly poor film-forming effect, and there was a risk of coating layer density, and the stability risk of the sample increased after transportation and handling. Therefore, a stability test of simulated granules after transportation, jolting and shaking was designed to verify the above analysis.
[0093] Take 50 ml small medicine bottles with lids, and accurately add the same weight (8 g) of samples into each bottle, and tightly cap the bottle. The experimental group fixes the medicine bottles on a vortex shaker, and shakes at a speed of 30 rpm for 15 minutes. Use polyester / aluminum / polyethylene pharmaceutical composite film packaging. Place the packaged samples in severe conditions (50°C, 75% RH), and observe the changes in related substances during the stability test.
[0094] Among them, 2 medicine bottles are set in the experimental group, and both are subjected to shaking treatment. The 2 medicine bottles of the experimental group correspond to the samples of Example 1 and Comparative Example 5, respectively. The stability of the samples without shaking treatment is compared with that of the control group, and the results are shown in Table 18.
[0095] Table 18 Stability test results
[0096] Note: "ND" represents not detected.
[0097] The results show that: The impurity growth trend of the test sample of Example 1 is basically consistent with the control group, while the total impurity of the experimental sample of Comparative Example 5 increases from 0.14% to 1.49%, which is significantly higher than that of the control sample.
[0098] In summary, the prepared meixenatate potassium granules are coated with a certain amount of coating powder with better moisture-proof effect, thereby isolating the active ingredients from water vapor and oxygen, reducing the risk of meixenatate potassium hydrolysis and oxidation, and making the preparation more stable.
[0099] Dissolution curve detection of Test Example 3 According to the dissolution and release determination method (second method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition Volume IV 0931), with pH 6.8 + Tween 80 as the dissolution medium, the rotation speed is 50 revolutions per minute, and the operation is carried out according to the law. At 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 min, 10 mL of sample was taken and supplemented with liquid, and the cumulative dissolution of each bag was calculated by high performance liquid chromatography. The test results are shown in Table 19 below, and the dissolution curve is shown in Figure 1 The dissolution of meixenatate potassium granules prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 above and the original research drug was detected.
