Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations, in particular to a compound preparation of cefpodoxime proxetil and potassium clavulanate and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Cefpodoxime proxetil, as an oral third-generation cephalosporin, has unique advantages. After entering the animal body, it can be hydrolyzed into cefpodoxime by non-specific enzymes, and then exert antibacterial effect. It has a wide antibacterial spectrum and can produce a wide range of antibacterial effects on gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and shows stable properties to β-lactamase. At present, human cefpodoxime proxetil is clinically used for the treatment of upper respiratory tract infection, lower respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection and suppurative otitis media caused by sensitive bacteria. The cefpodoxime proxetil tablet developed by American Zoetis Company, with the trade name of SIMPLICEF, has been applied to the treatment of skin diseases caused by bacterial infection in dogs.
[0003] Potassium clavulanate is the potassium salt of clavulanic acid. As a natural lactam antibiotic produced by bacteria, clavulanic acid has weak antibacterial effect, but has strong and broad-spectrum enzyme inhibition effect, and is rapidly absorbed orally. When it is used in combination with lactam antibiotics such as amoxicillin and ticarcillin, it can protect the combined lactam antibiotics from being inactivated by β-lactamase to varying degrees, thereby significantly improving the effect of the antibiotic on enzyme-producing drug-resistant bacteria and improving the clinical treatment effect. In addition, it also has certain antibacterial effect on Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus viridans, Clostridium, Peptococcus and Peptostreptococcus which do not produce β-lactamase.
[0004] However, at present, in the field of veterinary medicine, the use of cefpodoxime proxetil or clavulanic acid alone has certain limitations. On the one hand, with the continuous development of bacterial drug resistance, a single drug is difficult to effectively deal with complex drug-resistant bacterial infections. And with the increase of use time, its activity to some β-lactamase-producing bacteria (such as ESBLs, AmpC) (such as Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae) decreases. On the other hand, the existing veterinary drug dosage forms and formulations need to be improved in terms of drug stability, bioavailability, etc. For example, cefpodoxime proxetil raw material has poor stability, and potassium clavulanate has extremely strong hygroscopicity and is unstable under high temperature and high humidity conditions, and is extremely easy to degrade and discolor. Therefore, the development of a veterinary compound preparation reasonably combining cefpodoxime proxetil and clavulanic acid and the optimization of its preparation method to improve the drug efficacy, stability and bioavailability become the key direction to solve the current problems in the treatment of veterinary antibiotics. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the problems of the existing veterinary cefepime ester preparation, such as the decrease of the activity of some bacteria producing beta-lactamase and the poor stability of the drug, the application provides a cefepime ester potassium clavulanate compound preparation and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme provided by the application is:
[0007] In the first aspect, the application provides a cefepime ester potassium clavulanate compound preparation, which comprises the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of cefepime ester, 23.8-29.8 parts of a potassium clavulanate-microcrystalline cellulose compound, 37.5-52.5 parts of lactose, 18.7-37.5 parts of carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, 3.7-7.5 parts of a cosolvent, 7.5-12.5 parts of a binder and 1.2-3.8 parts of a lubricant; wherein the cefepime ester is calculated based on cefepime.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the cefepime ester potassium clavulanate compound preparation provided by the application takes cefepime ester as the core antibacterial component and cooperates with potassium clavulanate, so that the antibacterial spectrum can be significantly expanded and the killing effect on enzyme-producing drug-resistant bacteria can be enhanced; the potassium clavulanate is added in the form of a potassium clavulanate-microcrystalline cellulose compound, so that the influence of external humidity on the potassium clavulanate can be significantly reduced, and the porous structure of the microcrystalline cellulose can form a protective wrapping for the potassium clavulanate, reduce the possible adverse interaction between the potassium clavulanate and other components, delay the degradation rate of the potassium clavulanate, and ensure that the potassium clavulanate continuously plays an enzyme inhibition role during storage and use; the lactose as a diluent can improve the flowability and compressibility of the material, provide a stable basis for the formation of the preparation, and in cooperation with the microcrystalline cellulose, the lactose can also significantly reduce the influence of external humidity and temperature on the main drug components and effectively delay the degradation of the cefepime ester and the potassium clavulanate; the disintegration performance of the carboxymethyl cellulose calcium and the swelling characteristics of the microcrystalline cellulose form a complement, so that the preparation can be quickly disintegrated in the body and the release of the cefepime ester and the potassium clavulanate can be accelerated; the cosolvent can solve the hydrophobic problem of the cefepime ester and greatly improve the dissolution rate of the drug in cooperation with the disintegration aid, so as to ensure that the effective components are quickly dispersed and absorbed in the body. The synergistic effect of the series of auxiliary materials effectively solves the deficiencies of single components in terms of flowability, disintegration, dissolution rate and stability, and significantly improves the bioavailability of the preparation.
[0009] Further, the cosolvent is sodium dodecyl sulfate.
[0010] The sodium dodecyl sulfate can significantly improve the solubility and dissolution rate of cefpodoxime proxetil in water. The effect forms a high synergistic effect with the disintegration performance of carboxymethyl cellulose calcium and the swelling characteristics of microcrystalline cellulose: after the carboxymethyl cellulose calcium promotes the rapid disintegration of the preparation, the sodium dodecyl sulfate rapidly plays a solubilizing role, so that the cefpodoxime proxetil is dispersed in the body fluid faster, and then the swelling of the microcrystalline cellulose is assisted to further accelerate the drug release, so that the problem of low bioavailability of cefpodoxime proxetil caused by hydrophobicity is solved, and it is ensured that the active ingredients can be quickly absorbed by the animal body and play a role. In addition, the sodium dodecyl sulfate has good compatibility with the excipients such as lactose and carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, and will not cause adverse interactions. The sodium dodecyl sulfate can be uniformly dispersed in the preparation, improve the wettability of the material, and make the binder more uniformly act on each component to improve the uniformity of the particles in the granulation process.
[0011] Further, the binder is hydroxypropyl cellulose.
[0012] The hydroxypropyl cellulose has good film-forming property and viscosity, and can uniformly wrap the component particles such as cefpodoxime proxetil and lactose in the granulation process, so that the material forms particles with appropriate hardness and fluidity, and the uniformity of the particles in the granulation process is improved. In addition, the hydroxypropyl cellulose has good solubility in water, and can quickly dissolve and form a hydrophilic environment with the disintegration of the preparation in the animal body, promote the dissolution and diffusion of the drug ingredients in the body fluid, effectively solve the problem of low dissolution caused by the hydrophobicity of cefpodoxime proxetil, accelerate the absorption speed of the drug in the body, and improve the bioavailability.
[0013] Further, the lubricant is magnesium stearate.
[0014] The preferred lubricant can improve the fluidity in the tablet production, and in addition, can improve the hardness and smoothness of the prepared tablets.
[0015] Further, the mass ratio of clavulanate potassium to microcrystalline cellulose in the clavulanate potassium-microcrystalline cellulose compound is 1:1.
[0016] Further, the cefpodoxime proxetil clavulanate potassium compound preparation further comprises 6.2 parts to 10 parts of coating powder.
[0017] Specifically, the coating powder is Opadry.
[0018] In a second aspect, the application also provides a preparation method of the cefpodoxime proxetil clavulanate potassium compound preparation, which comprises the following steps:
[0019] S1, according to the designed ratio, the components are weighed, the weighed cefpodoxime proxetil, lactose, cosolvent and carboxymethyl cellulose calcium are uniformly mixed to obtain a premix;
[0020] S2, dissolve the adhesive in water to obtain an adhesive solution; add the adhesive solution to the premix and perform wet granulation to obtain wet granules;
[0021] S3, the wet granules are dried, sieved and granulated, and then weighed potassium clavulanate-microcrystalline cellulose complex and lubricant are added in sequence, and tablets are compressed to obtain cefpodoxime oxime potassium clavulanate compound preparation.
[0022] Compared to existing technologies, the method for preparing the cefpodoxime proxetil-clavulanate potassium compound formulation provided by this invention involves first mixing cefpodoxime proxetil, lactose, solubilizer, and calcium carboxymethyl cellulose to form a premix. Premixing allows for sufficient contact between cefpodoxime proxetil and the solubilizer, laying the foundation for improved dissolution performance. Simultaneously, the early addition of lactose provides a more favorable dissolution environment for cefpodoxime proxetil and the solubilizer during formulation disintegration, accelerating drug release.
[0023] Premixing calcium carboxymethyl cellulose allows it to be uniformly dispersed within the particles during wet granulation. Its porous structure can adsorb some cefpodoxime proxetil and solubilizers. When the formulation disintegrates, the expansion of calcium carboxymethyl cellulose promotes the rapid release of the adsorbed drug. At the same time, it works synergistically with the solubilizing effect of sodium dodecyl sulfate: sodium dodecyl sulfate reduces the surface tension of cefpodoxime proxetil, while calcium carboxymethyl cellulose increases the contact area between the drug and body fluids through disintegration. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the drug dissolution rate and avoids the problem of insufficient interaction with the active drug and solubilizer caused by the addition of disintegrants later.
[0024] In addition, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose has certain fluidity and adsorption properties. When combined with lactose, it can improve the mixing uniformity of components such as cefpodoxime proxetil (lactose acts as a filler to provide basic fluidity, while calcium carboxymethyl cellulose reduces the agglomeration of active pharmaceutical ingredient particles through adsorption), making the premix composition more uniform. This also creates favorable conditions for the uniform mixing of potassium clavulanate-microcrystalline cellulose and lubricant in the subsequent process, thereby improving the overall stability of the process.
[0025] Furthermore, in S2, the mass concentration of the adhesive solution is 2% to 5%.
[0026] Furthermore, in S3, the drying process employs fluidized bed drying to achieve a moisture content of ≤3%.
[0027] Furthermore, in S3, the sieving and granulation is performed through a 30-mesh sieve.
[0028] Furthermore, the tableting process also includes: coating the obtained tablets to obtain a cefpodoxime proxetil-clavulanate potassium compound preparation.
[0029] It should be noted that the present application can use any type of tablet press to directly compress the mixed material to obtain tablets, and the parameters of the specific compression process can be routinely adjusted by those skilled in the art.
[0030] It should be noted that the cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate compound preparation of the present application is a veterinary drug preparation, which can effectively cope with common drug-resistant bacterial infections of animals, meet the treatment needs of bacterial infections of various animals such as dogs, pigs, and cows, and provide efficient and convenient drug selection for livestock and pet breeding.
[0031] The cefpodoxime proxetil potassium clavulanate compound preparation provided by the present application has the synergistic effect of cefpodoxime proxetil and potassium clavulanate, which can enhance the antibacterial effect and expand the antibacterial spectrum, effectively coping with drug-resistant bacterial infections; by compounding lactose, carboxymethyl cellulose calcium, and sodium dodecyl sulfate as auxiliary materials, and by using the preparation process of first mixing cefpodoxime proxetil, lactose, a cosolvent, and carboxymethyl cellulose calcium to form a premix, the components are fully mixed and play a synergistic role, which not only improves the drug dissolution rate and bioavailability, ensures the uniformity of the preparation components, but also enhances the overall process stability, which is suitable for large-scale production.
