Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical crystal forms, in particular to a new crystal form of lornoxicam for injection and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The stability and solubility of preparations of different crystal forms are different. Therefore, the discovery of different crystal forms in the pharmaceutical field can have a profound impact on the shelf life, solubility, configuration characteristics, and preparation difficulty of drugs. Especially for injections, the clarity of the solution and related substances are particularly important, which is related to the safety of patients.
[0003] Lornoxicam for injection belongs to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, which has strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. It is mainly used for short-term treatment of acute moderate pain after surgery. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory active substances are usually difficult to dissolve in water or almost insoluble in water, and are often unstable in liquid preparations. Oxidation and hydrolysis reactions can produce a large amount of by-products, affecting the quality of the product. Lornoxicam for injection is prepared into a loose block by freeze-drying technology, and is reconstituted before use, which improves the stability of the liquid preparation. However, we found during the research that the lornoxicam impurities of lornoxicam for injection obtained by freeze-drying technology increased too quickly during storage, and the clarity of the solution became significantly turbid as the storage time increased.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a lornoxicam for injection with good clarity and stability. SUMMARY
