Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, specifically relating to a ceftoranil granule and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Ceftoranil is an esterified prodrug of ceftoran, an oral third-generation broad-spectrum antibiotic. It exerts its bactericidal effect by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis and has broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It shows particularly strong antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp., including Streptococcus pneumoniae, as well as Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella spp., Proteus spp., and Haemophilus influenzae, and anaerobic bacteria such as Peptostreptococcus spp., Propionibacterium acnes, and Bacteroides spp.
[0003] Ceftoranil granules are widely used for infections and inflammations in adults and children due to their broad antibacterial spectrum, strong antibacterial effect, rapid onset of action, and low allergic reaction rate. As a cephalosporin, it has a bitter taste and is easily hydrolyzed under humid and hot conditions, resulting in poor stability. Therefore, certain formulation techniques are needed to mask its taste, reduce moisture content, and improve patient compliance and stability, especially in children. If the granules have uneven particle size distribution, a high content of fine powder, and poor flowability, the granule filling weight will vary significantly during packaging. Patent CN116019815A uses a wet granulation machine with a binder for granulation and drying. This process, due to its high sucrose content, produces large clumps and coarse, uneven granules during wet granulation. CN117883391A uses fluidized bed top-spray granulation. While this process avoids large clumps, the top-spray granulation produces more fine powder, resulting in poor flowability and significant variations in granule filling weight during subsequent packaging. Regardless of whether it is wet granulation or top spray granulation, both methods involve directly adding a large amount of sucrose as a filler to increase sweetness and reduce bitterness, resulting in a poor taste-masking effect.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a ceftoranil granule with uniform particle size distribution, low moisture content, good stability, good taste, and bioavailability that meets the requirements for use.
[0005] Currently, commonly used methods for particle preparation include wet granulation, fluidized bed granulation, and extrusion spheronization.
[0006] Conventional wet granulation produces irregular, poorly rounded particles with uneven size, wide particle size distribution, large batch-to-batch differences, and difficult quality control.
[0007] Existing fluidized bed granulation and coating technologies include bottom spray, side spray, and top spray granulation and coating. In fluidized bed granulation, a fixed air inlet distribution plate at the bottom allows material to flow and interact with the spray, drying and forming particles. The particles produced by fluidized bed granulation are generally fine and soft, generating a large amount of fine powder with poor flowability.
[0008] The extrusion-spheronization process produces particles with good sphericity, but the particles are coarser and more compact, which affects the subsequent dissolution behavior and in vivo absorption.
[0009] Through extensive experimental research, we unexpectedly discovered that combining centrifugal pelleting technology with fluidized bed granulation technology, and using a unique processing technique, replacing the traditional fluidized bed airflow distribution plate with a rotating chassis and air intake at the edge of the turntable at the bottom of the fluidized bed, and installing a side spray device on the bottom of the fixed fluidized bed pot, forms a fluidized bed swirl side spray granulation and coating device. Combined with pharmaceutical technology, this perfectly solves the above-mentioned formulation process technology and product quality problems, thus completing this invention. Summary of the Invention
[0010] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide ceftoranil granules suitable for the clinical treatment of children and patients with dysphagia.
[0011] The second objective of this invention is to provide a method for preparing ceftoranil granules. This method, based on fluidized bed coating technology and centrifugal granulation coating technology, innovatively designs an integrated fluidized bed swirl side-spray granulation and coating technology. This fluidized bed swirl side-spray granulation and coating technology effectively solves the aforementioned problems and defects of existing technologies. The prepared ceftoranil granules are round, with a controllable particle size distribution, rapid dissolution, good stability, good taste, and good bioavailability, making them suitable for clinical use in children and elderly patients.

The turntable inside the pot has an adjustable rotation speed, and the combination of centrifugal pelletizing and fluidized bed granulation forms a fluidized bed swirl side spraying granulation and coating device.
[0017] Preferably, the method for preparing ceftoranil granules according to the present invention is characterized in that the swirl side spraying in steps two and three is specifically as follows: air inlet volume 300~800m³ 3 The spraying process involves setting the air volume to 300-800 m³ / h, with an inlet air temperature of 50-80℃, a turntable speed of 80-160 rpm, a peristaltic pump speed of 80-120 rpm, a spray atomization pressure of 0.1-0.3 MPa, and a spray protective gas pressure of 0.05-0.15 MPa. The material temperature is controlled at 25-40℃ during the process. Further steps include drying, the specific drying process of which is as follows: The inlet air volume is set to 300-800 m³ / h. 3 / h, inlet air temperature 50~80℃, drying until loss on drying ≤1.0%.
[0018] Preferably, in the preparation method of ceftoranil granules of the present invention, the sieving and granulation in step four is as follows: granulation is carried out using a 35-mesh sieve, and particles that can pass through the 35-mesh sieve are collected for subsequent mixing. The mixing speed is 5~12 rpm and the time is 5~20 min.
[0019] The ceftoranil granules of the present invention have the following particle size distribution: 100% should pass through an 850μm sieve, no more than 5% should not pass through a 500μm sieve, and no more than 10% should pass through a 75μm sieve.
[0020] Preferably, in the method for preparing ceftoranil granules of the present invention, the related substances of the obtained ceftoranil granule product have the following characteristics: IB762≤1.0%, IB771≤0.3%, IB760≤2.2%, IB761≤0.2%, IB770≤0.5%, IB763≤0.4%, IB786≤0.3%, IB764≤1.7%, IB769≤1.6%, other single impurities not exceeding 0.2%, and the total impurities not exceeding 8.0%.
[0021] The ceftoranil granules of the present invention still meet the quality control requirements after being stored at 40°C and 75% humidity for 6 months.
[0022] The drying loss of the ceftoranil granules prepared by this invention is ≤1.0%.
[0023] The ceftoranil granules of the present invention have the following in vitro dissolution characteristics: they dissolve rapidly in hydrochloric acid medium at pH 1.2, with a dissolution rate of >85% within 10 minutes.
[0024] The ceftoranil granule composition of the present invention, when taken orally in a single dose of 50 mg on an empty stomach by a healthy adult, C max Blood drug concentration was 500-1400 ng / mL, AUC (0-t) The blood drug concentration is 1500~5000 ng•h / mL.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the ceftoranil granules of the present invention have the following advantages: (1) In the preparation process of the ceftoranil granules of the present invention, granulation is first carried out with a binder to make the particle size distribution uniform and the flowability good. Then, a flavoring agent and a coloring agent are added for coating to achieve the effect of masking unpleasant taste, thereby improving the medication compliance of patients, especially children. Subsequently, the granules are dried by fluidized bed drying to reduce moisture content and ensure stability during storage.
[0027] (2) The ceftriaxone granules of the present invention adopt the swirl-flow side-spray granulation method. Compared with the traditional fluidized bed top-spray granulation, the airflow distribution plate is replaced with a centrifugal disc with a rotation function, which effectively combines centrifugal pelleting and fluidized bed granulation. This solves the problem of excessive fine powder in fluidized bed granulation and avoids the problem of coarse particles in centrifugal pelleting, resulting in more uniform particles and better flowability. In addition, when side-spraying coating, compared with the traditional fluidized bed bottom-spray coating, if the bottom spray gun is blocked by solid material, the equipment needs to be stopped before the gun can be cleaned. Side spraying, like top spraying, can achieve gun cleaning without stopping the machine, making the operation simpler and the production efficiency higher. Attached Figure Description

[0063] Note: 20 mesh corresponds to an 850μm sieve, 35 mesh corresponds to a 500μm sieve, and 200 mesh corresponds to a 75μm sieve.
[0064] The results in Table 1 above show that the conventional fluidized bed top spraying process (Comparative Example 1) produces more fine powder and poorer particle uniformity, further affecting particle flowability; the conventional extrusion rounding process (Comparative Example 2) produces relatively round particles, but with poor uniformity and more coarse particles; the conventional wet granulation process (Comparative Example 3) produces particles with a size similar to those obtained by side spraying, but with poor roundness and uniformity; while the particles obtained using the swirl side spraying process (the ceftoranil granule compositions described in Examples 1-4) are round and uniform with good flowability, significantly better than Comparative Examples 1-3.
[0065] Example 6: Taste Test The palatability of ceftorepimidine granules from Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested, and the evaluation method was as follows: Number of cases: 20 cases; Administration method: The granules were added to 80 ml of drinking water at about 40°C, stirred evenly (stirring for 1-2 min), and then taken. The palatability evaluation form was filled out according to the taste. The results are shown in Table 2.
[0066] Table 2. Summary of taste test results for ceftoranil granules in the examples and comparative examples.
[0067] Note: The evaluation levels are divided into A, B, C, D, and E, with A being the best and E being the worst.
[0068] As shown in Table 2, the ceftoranil granules of Examples 1-4 had a higher proportion of Grade A in terms of odor, appearance, mouthfeel, taste, and aftertaste. The granules obtained by other processes (ceftoranil granules of Comparative Examples 1-3) had a worse mouthfeel than the ceftoranil granules described in Examples 1-4. The results indicate that the ceftoranil granules prepared by the cyclone side spray granulation process have a better mouthfeel and a better taste masking effect.

The results are shown in Table 3 below. Figure 2 .
[0070] Table 3. Results of in vitro dissolution curves of ceftoranil particles in the examples.
[0071] From Table 3 and Figure 2 It can be seen that the ceftoranil granules in Examples 1-4 not only have a masking effect, but also dissolve very quickly in hydrochloric acid medium at pH 1.2.
[0072] Example 8 Stability Study The ceftriaxone granules from Examples 1 to 4 were subjected to related substance tests under accelerated conditions (temperature 40°C, humidity 75%). The results are shown in Table 4. Table 4. Results of stability study of ceftoranil particles in Examples 1-4
[0073] As shown in Table 4, the ceftoranil granule composition prepared by the swirl side spraying process has good stability of related substances.
[0074] Example 9 Pharmacokinetic Study The fasting and postprandial pharmacokinetic studies were conducted using ceftoranil granules from Example 4. Both studies were randomized, open-label, two-period, double-crossover trials. Twelve patients were enrolled on an empty stomach, and eight patients were enrolled after a meal. Each patient received a single oral dose of one sachet of ceftoranil granules (50 mg) per cycle. The results are shown in Table 5 below. Figure 3 and Figure 4 .
