Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical preparation, in particular to a solid dispersion-based sustained-release drug composite carrier and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the prior art, dihydroergotoxine mesylate as a poorly water-soluble drug often faces the problem of poor compatibility between the drug and the excipient when developing sustained-release preparations. Traditional sustained-release systems mostly rely on single polymer carriers, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, which can initially improve the dispersion of the drug, but the single component is prone to hygroscopic plasticization under humidity conditions, causing the crystal form of the drug to change from amorphous to crystalline, which not only reduces the solubility of the drug, but also leads to a decrease in stability during storage. This change in crystal form further exacerbates the incompatibility of the excipient interface, causing uneven hardness during tabletting and affecting the mechanical strength of the tablet.
[0003] More prominently, when the hygroscopic polymer carrier is exposed to environmental humidity, the powder surface is prone to adhesion and caking, destroying the fluidity and making the filling and tabletting operations difficult to perform uniformly. In conventional processes, simple physical mixing of the solid dispersion with porous materials such as mesoporous silica does not achieve effective pore confinement, and the drug carrier still exists in a surface form, which cannot inhibit the humidity sensitivity problem. If the addition of inorganic excipients such as calcium silicate is not properly timed, it will preferentially form an outer layer, hindering the stabilization of the internal structure and increasing process fluctuations.
[0004] The use of lubrication systems also has limitations. Common lubricants such as magnesium stearate are prone to form a continuous hydrophobic layer under long-term shearing, which weakens the interparticle bonding force, leading to a decrease in tablet hardness and delayed disintegration. At the same time, if the mixed powder without granulation is directly used for the preparation of the sustained-release matrix, due to the difference in particle size distribution, the active ingredient is unevenly distributed during mixing, and the internal pore network is disordered after tabletting, leading to inconsistent penetration paths of the release medium, causing a burst release at the early stage or insufficient release at the later stage, and significant batch-to-batch differences. The existing technology lacks a systematic design from micro-dispersion to macro-formation, which cannot coordinate the drug stability, powder performance, and release controllability, restricting the scalable production of sustained-release preparations. SUMMARY

[0016] Preferably, in the step (3), the total amount of calcium stearate and magnesium stearate is 30 parts, and the amount of calcium stearate is 15-25 parts, based on 370 parts of the inorganic localized composite solid dispersion particles.

[0078]
[0079] Data analysis:
[0080] From the data of Table 1 and Figure 1 , it can be seen that the solid dispersion-based sustained-release drug composite carrier prepared by the present application achieves a good balance between powder flowability, formability, compression resistance, moisture resistance, and controllable release. With the adjustment of the ratio of polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose acetate succinate, the moisture absorption of the powder and the drug release rate show a synchronous adjustable rule; when the amount distribution of mesoporous silica and calcium silicate and the ethanol activation intensity change, the packing property and the stability of the tablet hardness of the composite particles change with the degree of pore localization, and further transmit to the smoothness of the release curve and the completion degree of the end release. At the same time, the fine adjustment of the ratio of calcium stearate and magnesium stearate changes the continuity and friction sensitivity of the outer hydrophobic microdomain, thereby affecting the wetting penetration and skeleton maintenance during the disintegration process; the change of the roller granulation parameters of the sustained-release matrix granules realizes the synergistic constraint on the initial release and the later release through the regulation of particle strength and pore structure.
[0081] From the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 in Table 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1 and
[0082] As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1 and
[0083] As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 in Table 1 and Figure 2As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 4 and 5, when the mixing time after the addition of magnesium stearate is prolonged, or magnesium stearate is added first and then calcium stearate is added, the tablet hardness significantly decreases and fluctuates, the friability increases, the disintegration is prolonged, and the overall release rate slows down and the end-point release decreases. The main reason is that magnesium stearate is more likely to form a continuous hydrophobic coating layer under excessive shearing, which weakens the real contact and mechanical interlocking between particles, and it is difficult to form a stable bond at the compaction interface; at the same time, the hydrophobic coating inhibits wetting penetration and pore connection, resulting in limited entry of disintegration medium, thereby reducing the effective diffusion channel and slowing down the drug release. The strategy of adding calcium stearate first, adding magnesium stearate later, and mixing for a limited time can form non-continuous hydrophobic micro-domains, which reduces the friction sensitivity and avoids excessive coating, and embodies the unexpected comprehensive effect brought by the two kinds of metal stearate and time control.
[0084] As can be seen from Table 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen from the data of Example 1 and Comparative Example 6, when the premixed powder is not first roller-compacted to form a sustained-release matrix master batch, but is directly mixed with the hydrophobic composite particles, the powder flowability deteriorates significantly, the tablet hardness and its consistency decrease, the friability increases, and the release curve in the early stage shows a stronger burst tendency. The main reason is that the particle size distribution and surface energy of the ungranulated premixed powder are more different, and the mixing process is more likely to cause stratification and local enrichment, making it difficult for the hydrophobic composite particles and the sustained-release matrix to stably nest in the micro-space; during the compaction process, the fine powder is first compacted to form a non-uniform pore network, resulting in uneven distribution of medium penetration paths and effective diffusion area within the tablet, which in turn amplifies the batch-to-batch and tablet-to-tablet differences. Therefore, the step of first preparing a sustained-release matrix master batch and then spatially compounding and lightly rolling to lock has irreplaceability for structure level fixation, and is a key combined measure to realize scale reproducibility and stable release curve.
[0085] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above discussion of any of the embodiments is merely exemplary and is not intended to suggest that the scope of the present application is limited to these examples; under the idea of the present application, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of the different aspects of the present application as described above.
