Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparations and discloses a montelukast sodium tablet and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Leukotrienes are one of important mediums of bronchial asthma, and montelukast is a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist which can block the interaction between cysteinyl leukotrienes and receptors, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling asthma. The montelukast sodium orally disintegrating tablet is a new type of immediate-release drug, has the advantage of disintegrating at the entrance, can shorten the drug onset time, reduce the stimulation of the gastrointestinal tract, and significantly improves the patient's medication compliance, and is a research hotspot at present.

[0003] However, the orally disintegrating tablet still has the following problems to be solved: (1) the hardness and disintegration rate are difficult to balance: the orally disintegrating tablet needs to have certain physical hardness to prevent the tablet from being broken or powdered, however, the increase of the hardness leads to the prolongation of the disintegration time, if the proportion of the disintegrant is increased to ensure the disintegration rate, the tablet structure will be loose and the hardness will be insufficient, which seriously affects the quality stability; (2) the moisture stability of montelukast sodium is poor, when the orally disintegrating tablet is stored in a humid environment, a hydrolysis reaction is prone to occur, leading to the decrease of the drug content. In summary, it is of great significance to study a montelukast sodium orally disintegrating tablet which has good mechanical strength, fast disintegration rate and high stability in a humid environment and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0004] The application aims to provide a montelukast sodium tablet and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the problems in the background.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the application provides the following technical scheme: a preparation method of a montelukast sodium tablet, comprising the following steps:

[0006] The binder is added into water, heated to 55-60 DEG C and uniformly stirred to obtain a binder mixture; the montelukast sodium, the stabilizer, the excipient and the disintegrant are added into water, uniformly stirred, then the binder mixture is added, uniformly stirred and sheared and emulsified, water is added again, uniformly stirred, sheared and emulsified, vacuum degassed, injected into a mold, frozen, dried to obtain the montelukast sodium tablet;

[0007] The disintegrant comprises modified tamarind gum, sodium carboxymethyl starch, amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch.

[0008] More preferably, the montelukast sodium tablet comprises the following raw materials in mass fraction: 0.08-0.1 parts of the binder, 0.08-0.12 parts of the montelukast sodium, 0.01-0.02 parts of the stabilizer, 0.12-0.18 parts of the excipient, 0.03-0.04 parts of the disintegrant and 399.54-399.68 parts of water.

[0009] More preferably, the disintegrating agent is modified tamarind gum, sodium carboxymethyl starch, amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch, and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch in a mass ratio of (0.5-1):(1-1.5):(1-1.5):(0.1-0.2).

[0010] More preferably, the preparation of the modified tamarind gum comprises the following steps: adding sodium hydroxide into water-isopropyl alcohol, mixing uniformly, adding tamarind gum, stirring at 50-55°C for 2-3h, adding chloroacetic acid solution, stirring at 60-65°C for 3-4h, removing the solvent by suction filtration, washing, drying, and obtaining carboxylated tamarind gum; adding the carboxylated tamarind gum into water, adding calcium chloride aqueous solution, stirring until precipitation occurs, taking the precipitate, washing with water, drying, grinding, and sieving to obtain the modified tamarind gum.

[0011] More preferably, the carboxylated tamarind gum comprises the following raw materials in terms of mass fraction: 3-4 parts of sodium hydroxide, 8-12 parts of water, 25-30 parts of isopropyl alcohol, and 1.5-2 parts of tamarind gum; the pH of the chloroacetic acid solution is 3-4, and the chloroacetic acid solution comprises 7-8 parts of chloroacetic acid; the modified tamarind gum comprises the following raw materials in terms of mass fraction: 1.5-2 parts of carboxylated tamarind gum, 15-20 parts of water, and 25-30 parts of 5wt% calcium chloride aqueous solution.

[0012] The carboxymethylation of the modified tamarind gum can enhance its disintegrating performance, and the calcium complexation can improve its absorption capacity, thereby improving the disintegration rate.

[0013] More preferably, the preparation of the amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch comprises the following steps: adding sodium carboxymethyl starch into water, stirring uniformly, adding leucine, stirring and adjusting the pH to 9-10, heating to 70-75°C and stirring for 1-2h, centrifuging to take the precipitate, washing, and freeze-drying to obtain the amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch.

[0014] Leucine is a hydrophilic amino acid, and the additional hydrophilic sites on the starch molecules can also disrupt the original structure of the starch, so that the starch can rapidly swell in a shorter time and produce stronger disintegrating force, thereby improving the disintegration rate.

[0015] More preferably, the amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch comprises the following raw materials in terms of mass fraction: 1.5-2 parts of sodium carboxymethyl starch, 5-6 parts of water, and 0.5-1 part of leucine.

[0016] More preferably, the preparation of the cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch comprises the following steps: taking sodium carboxymethyl starch, adding an ethanolic solution of epichlorohydrin, stirring uniformly, heating at 65-75°C for 15-20min, adjusting the pH to 6-7, filtering while hot, washing, drying, grinding, and sieving to obtain the cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch.

[0018] More preferably, the adhesive is gelatin, the stabilizer is cyclodextrin, and the excipient is mannitol.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: a special disintegrating agent is selected, which is a combination of modified tamarind gum, sodium carboxymethyl starch, amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch, and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch.

[0020] Tamarind gum is a polysaccharide gum with good biocompatibility. Its disintegration performance can be enhanced by carboxymethylation modification, and its absorption capacity can be improved by calcium complexation, thereby achieving rapid release and disintegration of the tablet. However, the amount of tamarind gum introduced should not be too much, otherwise the hardness and moisture resistance stability of the tablet will decrease, and if the hydrophilicity is too high, it will affect the disintegration rate.

[0021] Sodium carboxymethyl starch is a commonly used disintegrating agent. The disintegration speed and mechanical strength of sodium carboxymethyl starch need to be improved. Therefore, amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch and cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch are introduced in the present application.

[0022] The amino acid modified sodium carboxymethyl starch introduces leucine, which increases the hydrophilic sites on the starch molecules and disrupts the original structure of the starch, so that the starch can rapidly swell in a shorter time and produce stronger disintegration force, thereby improving the disintegration speed.

[0023] The cross-linked sodium carboxymethyl starch produces strong mechanical stress by swelling, which rapidly destroys the binding force between particles, thereby facilitating rapid disintegration. In addition, the cross-linked structure can help improve the hardness and moisture resistance stability of the tablet as a whole. Therefore, the amount of each substance in the disintegrating agent needs to be strictly controlled, because too high hydrophilicity or too much cross-linked substance will slow down the disintegration rate.

[0024] In summary, by adding a specially designed disintegrating agent, the present application obtains a montelukast sodium tablet with good mechanical strength, fast disintegration speed, and high stability in a humid environment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
