Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical formulation technology, and relates to an active pharmaceutical ingredient, a pharmaceutical composition, its preparation method and application. Background Technology

[0002] Sapogrelate is a highly selective 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) receptor antagonist (hereinafter referred to as compound A), with the following chemical structural formula: .

[0003] Compound A specifically binds to 5-HT2 receptors on platelets, exerting an antagonistic effect and inhibiting the increase in intraplatelet calcium ion levels caused by receptor activation, platelet aggregation, and the vasoconstrictive response associated with platelet activation and aggregation. Due to its significant antithrombotic effect and ability to improve collateral circulation, compound A is widely used clinically as an antiplatelet drug for the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases.

[0004] Compound A is a highly variable drug, and marketed Compound A tablets exhibit dissolution instability. For example, in a pH 4.5 acetate solution, the relative standard deviation (RSD) of dissolution at 5 and 10 minutes is excessively large. Therefore, it is necessary to improve dissolution stability, reduce variability caused by formulation factors, and ensure stable efficacy.

[0005] Patent document CN105769800A discloses a saxagrel ester hydrochloride tablet, composed of the following raw and excipient materials in parts by weight: 100 parts of compound A, 60-100 parts of PH302 microcrystalline cellulose, 4-8 parts of citric acid, 2-6 parts of magnesium stearate, 8-12 parts of micronized silica gel, and 105-6 parts of 295F6800. This invention pre-mixes and pulverizes compound A with citric acid to a specific particle size, and after mixing with a specific type of microcrystalline cellulose, it satisfies both the flowability requirements of the mixed particles during direct compression and the dissolution behavior of the formulation. Stability test results also show that its stability is superior to that of commercially available formulations. However, this invention does not address the issue of dissolution instability.

[0006] Patent document CN108524462A discloses a preparation process for sarpogrelate hydrochloride tablets. To improve the impact of wet granulation on the stability of compound A, the preparation process was adjusted by mixing light anhydrous silica with compound A, crystalline cellulose, and carboxymethyl cellulose and granulating them in a single step. This improved the flow-aiding effect of light anhydrous silica during granulation, resulting in more uniform mixing of raw materials, easier molding, and higher granulation efficiency. Based on the change in the preparation process, the amounts of raw materials used in tablet preparation were adjusted accordingly, reducing the amount of filler and increasing the amounts of stabilizer, flow aid, and disintegrant. Through the combination of adjustments to the preparation process and the amount of raw material components, compound A tablets with good stability, dissolution, and compressibility were obtained. However, this invention also failed to address the issue of dissolution instability, posing a quality risk.

[0007] Although there are many studies on the stability of Compound A tablets, there are few studies on the dissolution stability of Compound A tablets. Therefore, developing a Compound A drug composition with good dissolution stability remains challenging. Summary of the Invention

[0053] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0054] (1) Active pharmaceutical ingredients with D50 of 20-75 μm and particle size distribution range K value of 1-2.5 have good process stability, dissolution stability and chemical stability during wet granulation, and are suitable for large-scale production.

[0055] (2) Comparative Example 1 revealed that when the D50 of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the particle size distribution span (D90-D10) / D50 are both outside the specific protection range of this invention, the compressibility and dissolution stability of the pharmaceutical composition are significantly deteriorated. Comparative Examples 2 and 3 revealed that when either the D50 of the active pharmaceutical ingredient or the particle size distribution span (D90-D10) / D50 is outside the specific protection range of this invention, dissolution stability and tablet weight variation are affected, resulting in varying degrees of deterioration. In summary, D50 and the particle size distribution span (D90-D10) / D50 have a substantial impact on the dissolution stability and tablet weight variation of the pharmaceutical composition. When either the D50 of the active pharmaceutical ingredient or the particle size distribution span (D90-D10) / D50 is outside the above range, it is impossible to simultaneously meet the requirements of process stability, dissolution stability, and large-scale production.

[0056] (3) Experiments showed that when the porosity of the drug composition was <5%, the dissolution rate was greater than 85% at 15 min and the RSD of the dissolution rate at each time point did not exceed 10%; it also had good compressibility, small difference in tablet weight, and friability of less than 0.5%; after 30 days of high-temperature storage, the growth of impurities was small, and it had good process stability, dissolution stability and chemical stability.

[0057] (4) Compared with the reference formulation, the tablets prepared by the present invention have better dissolution stability and reduce the potential risk of inconsistent dissolution behavior in vivo. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0061] Before further describing specific embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described below; it should also be understood that the terminology used in the embodiments of the present invention is for describing specific embodiments and not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0062] When numerical ranges are given in the embodiments, it should be understood that, unless otherwise stated in the invention, both endpoints of each numerical range and any value between the two endpoints may be selected. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0063] The "pharmaceuticalally acceptable" ingredients described in this invention are substances that are suitable for humans and / or animals without excessive adverse side effects (such as toxicity, irritation, and allergic reactions), i.e., have a reasonable benefit / risk ratio.

[0064] The “pharmaceutical composition” and “pharmaceutical formulation” described in this invention can be prepared by any method known in pharmaceutical science. Generally, these preparation methods involve associating the pharmaceutical composition with one or more other auxiliary ingredients, and then, if desired and / or expected, shaping and / or packaging the product into desired single-dose or multi-dose units.

[0065] The "pharmaceutical composition" and "pharmaceutical formulation" of this invention can be prepared according to known methods, such as those described in the General Rules for Preparation of Pharmaceuticals in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia 18th Edition, the United States Pharmacopoeia 39th Edition, and the European Pharmacopoeia 11th Edition. The specific method depends on the dosage form.

[0071] In this invention, the term "relative standard deviation (RSD)" refers to a core statistical indicator that measures the dispersion of test data and is used to quantify the uniformity and reliability of a set of parallel test results. According to the "Technical Guidelines for Dissolution Testing of Ordinary Oral Solid Dosage Forms," ​​the RSD of dissolution of oral solid dosage forms (tablets, capsules, etc.) must meet the following requirements: "The relative standard deviation of dissolution at the first sampling time point shall not exceed 20%, and the relative standard deviation of dissolution at other sampling time points shall not exceed 10%."

This term does not imply a specific age or sex. Therefore, adult and neonatal subjects, whether male or female, are included.

[0073] In this invention, "water" refers to water with a temperature above 0°C, for example, the temperature can be selected as 1°C, 2°C, 3°C, 4°C, 5°C, 6°C, 7°C, 8°C, 9°C, 10°C, 11°C, 12°C, 13°C, 14°C, 15°C, 16°C, 17°C, 18°C, 19°C, 20°C, 21°C, 22°C, 23°C, 24°C, 25°C, 26°C, 27°C, 28°C, 29°C, 30°C, or any range derived therefrom.

[0074] All numerical values ​​or expressions relating to component amounts, process conditions, etc., used in this invention shall be understood to be modified by the word "about" in all cases. When referring to a quantity or range of values, the quantity or range is an approximation within experimental variability (or within statistical experimental error). In this invention, the term "about" shall have the meaning of being within 10%, preferably within 5%, of the specified value or range.

[0075] This invention does not limit the source of the raw and auxiliary materials used. Unless otherwise specified, all raw and auxiliary materials used in this invention are commercially available pharmaceutical-grade products commonly used in this technical field. For example, the specific material information used in the embodiments of this invention is as follows: reference formulation (compound A tablets, purchased from Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Japan, batch number J787), crystalline cellulose (Asahi Kasei Corporation), mannitol (Roquette Freres; ROQUETTE AMERICA, INC.), corn starch (Anhui Shanhe Pharmaceutical Excipients Co., Ltd.), lactose (Megir, Germany), carboxymethyl cellulose (NICHIRIN CHEMICALINDUSTRIES, LTD), calcium carboxymethyl cellulose (Bolak company limited), light anhydrous silica (Evonik Operations GmbH), hydroxypropyl cellulose (Nippon Soda Co., Ltd.), and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.

[0076] [Detection Indicators and Methods]

[0077] 1. Porosity

[0078] Detection Method: The porosity detection method of Zhejiang Jieheng Technology Co., Ltd. was adopted. The sample preparation process followed the steps described in patent document CN119757315A. Sample preparation and data acquisition were performed using SEM. The specific imaging principle is as follows: During the imaging process of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), pores typically appear as nearly black dark areas in secondary electron or backscattered electron images. This is because when the electron beam scans to the pore area on the sample surface, the absence of solid material in this area leads to a sharp decrease in the intensity of detectable secondary electron or backscattered electron signals, resulting in very little signal received by the detector. Therefore, this corresponds to extremely low pixel brightness values ​​in the grayscale image. The complete image acquisition, processing, and analysis process described above is automated by integrating it into image analysis software (JIT software: JIT-QMA). This software system realizes the statistical analysis of pore features from SEM images. The cross-section of the tablet was detected during the testing process as shown in the image. Figure 1 As shown.

[0079] 2. Friability

[0080] Testing method: For tablets weighing 0.65g or less, take several tablets to make the total weight approximately 6.5g; for tablets weighing more than 0.65g, take 10 tablets. Blow away the powder that has fallen off the tablets, accurately weigh (W1), place in a cylinder, and rotate 100 times. Remove, blow away the powder in the same way, and accurately weigh (W2). Friability (%) = [(W1-W2) / W1]×100%.

[0081] 3. Hardness

[0082] Testing method: Automatic measurement using a tablet hardness tester.

[0083] 4. Tablet weight difference

[0084] Detection and calculation method: Take 20 tablets of the test sample, accurately weigh the total weight, and calculate the average tablet weight W. 平均 Then, the weight W of each piece is precisely measured. t Compare the weight of each tablet to the average tablet weight. Tablet weight difference = (W t -W 平均 ) / W 平均 .

[0085] 5. Dissolution rate

[0086] Detection Method: Following the dissolution and release ratio assay (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, Part IV, General Chapter 0931, Method II), dissolution media were prepared using pH 1.2 hydrochloric acid solution, pH 4.5 acetate buffer, pH 6.8 phosphate buffer, and 900 mL of water, respectively. The dissolution speed was 50 rpm. Samples (5 mL each) were taken at 5, 10, 15, and 30 min (with an equal volume of replenished solution immediately). The sample was filtered through a 0.45 μm PES filter, and the filtrate was used as the test solution. The absorbance was measured at 270 nm using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, Part IV, General Chapter 0401), and the dissolution rate was calculated. The dissolution results were obtained from six parallel tests of the formulation. The average dissolution rate of the six tablets was calculated as the dissolution rate of the formulation at different time points.

[0087] The standard deviation and relative standard deviation are obtained using the following formulas:

[0090] In the above formula, S represents the standard deviation; RSD represents the relative standard deviation; Dissolution values ​​for individual test samples are expressed as a percentage of the labeled drug content in each sample. It is the average dissolution rate of the test samples; n is the number of test samples, which is 6 in the dissolution test.

[0091] 6. Stability

[0092] Detection method:

[0093] Chromatographic conditions and system suitability: Octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel was used as the stationary phase (Waters Symmetry C18, 4.6). A 150 mm, 5 μm or equivalent column was used, with water-acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid (1300:700:1) as the mobile phase, column temperature 40 °C, flow rate 0.8 mL / min, detection wavelength 272 nm, injection volume 10 μL, and isocratic run for 12 min. The reference solution was injected six times consecutively, and the relative standard deviation of the peak area of ​​compound A should not exceed 2.0%.

[0094] Test solution: Take 10 tablets (100mg) of the sample to be tested, place them in a 200ml volumetric flask, add an appropriate amount of diluent (water-acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid (1300:700:1)), sonicate for 10min, cool, dilute to the mark, and shake well. Take an appropriate amount and centrifuge at 8000rpm for 5min, accurately transfer 2mL of the supernatant to a 100mL volumetric flask, dilute to the mark with diluent, and shake well to obtain the test solution.

[0095] Reference solution: Weigh an appropriate amount of compound A reference standard accurately, dissolve it in diluent and dilute quantitatively to a solution containing approximately 0.1 mg of compound A per 1 mL.

[0096] Related substances determination methods:

[0097] After the baseline stabilizes, inject 1-2 injections of blank solution, 3 consecutive injections of reference solution, 1 injection of system suitability solution, 1 injection of sensitivity solution, 1 injection of test solution, and 1 injection of accompanying reference solution into the liquid chromatograph sequentially, and record the chromatogram. Calculate the content of each impurity in the test sample by peak area using the principal component external standard method with correction factors.

[0098] The system suitability requirements are as follows: In the system suitability solution chromatogram, the resolution between compound A and impurity A should be no less than 3; in the reference solution chromatogram, the RSD of the peak area of ​​compound A in three consecutive reference solutions and a total of four reference solutions should be ≤5.0%; in the sensitivity solution, the signal-to-noise ratio of the peak of compound A should be no less than 10.

[0099] 7. Tableting pass rate

[0100] Tableting pass rate = Number of qualified tablets after compression / Total number of tablets compressed

[0101] Qualified tablets are those with a weight within ±10% of the standard tablet weight (170mg for unprocessed tablets) and a hardness greater than 30N. Unqualified tablets mainly include those with cracks, tablets with top cracks, adhesion, tablet weight difference greater than ±10%, loose tablets, and those that fail to meet appearance or hardness standards.

[0102] [Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients]

[0103] The active pharmaceutical ingredient with a larger initial particle size was pulverized to prepare active pharmaceutical ingredients with different particle sizes, and the corresponding particle size distribution was detected using a Malvern laser particle size analyzer for later use.

[0104] The preparation method of active pharmaceutical ingredient a is as follows: crude compound A is prepared according to the method of Example 2 of patent document JP1983032847A. 2 kg of crude compound A and 2.5 L of methanol are added to a reaction bottle, the temperature is raised to 60°C, the mixture is clarified, and after naturally cooling to room temperature, it is stirred to precipitate crystals, filtered, and dried to obtain compound A, which is used as active pharmaceutical ingredient a.

[0105] Specifically, the preparation method of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is as follows:

[0106] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 1: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient a, and pulverize it using a high-speed pulverizer 2wrpn for 25-30 seconds to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 1.

[0107] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 2: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient a, and pulverize it for 15-20 seconds using a high-speed pulverizer 2wrpn to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 2.

[0108] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 3: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient 2 and pulverize it for 5-10 seconds using a high-speed pulverizer 2wrpn to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 3.

[0109] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 4: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient a, and pulverize it for 5-10 seconds using a high-speed pulverizer 2wrpn to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 4.

[0110] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 5: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient 1 and pulverize it for 5-10 seconds using a high-speed pulverizer 2wrpn to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 5.

[0111] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 6: Take an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient a to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 6.

[0112] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 7: Following the method in Example 5 of patent document CN1824647B, 1 kg of crude compound A, 8.8 L of acetone, and 0.55 L of water were mixed. The mixture was heated to dissolve, and then the internal temperature was cooled to 50°C. A suspension prepared by adding 0.05 kg of type II crystals and 0.7 L of acetone was added to the solution, followed by the addition of 0.5 L of acetone. The mixture was cooled to 10°C, the crystals were filtered off, washed with 1 L of acetone, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 7.

[0113] Preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredient 8: Weigh an appropriate amount of active pharmaceutical ingredient a and pulverize it using a GMP02 air jet mill at 0.8 MPa, a classifier speed of 8500-9500 rpm, and a feed rate of 400 g / h to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredient 8.

[0114] Specifically, the particle size detection method is as follows:

[0115] Take approximately 0.5 g of the active pharmaceutical ingredient, add 20 mL of ethyl acetate, then add 1 drop of Span 80, sonicate for 30 seconds and stir until uniformly dispersed. Set up the method according to the conditions listed below, and determine the particle size and particle size distribution according to Method III (General Chapter 0982, Particle Size and Particle Size Distribution Determination, Part IV, Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 Edition). Measuring instrument: Malvern MASTERESIZER 3000 laser particle size analyzer. The particle size results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0116] Table 1. Active pharmaceutical ingredients with different particle size distributions

[0117]

[0118] As can be seen from Table 1, for compound A, the K value of the active pharmaceutical ingredient prepared by recrystallization is often relatively large, usually greater than 2.5. By pulverizing, the K value of the active pharmaceutical ingredient can be reduced and the particle size uniformity of the active pharmaceutical ingredient can be improved.

[0123]

[0124] The preparation method of the pharmaceutical composition is as follows:

[0125] 1. Weigh the main ingredients, fillers, disintegrants, glidants, stabilizers, binders, and lubricants according to the prescription.

[0126] 2. Granulation and sizing:

[0127] (1) Adhesive preparation: Dissolve the adhesive and stabilizer in water and use it as an adhesive solution.

[0128] (2) Granulation: Add the main material, filler, disintegrant and flow aid into the mixing granulator and stir for 5 minutes. Add the binder and stir to granulate; use a fluidized bed for drying, with an air inlet temperature of 60℃ and a fan speed of 30 Hz, until the material temperature reaches 40℃ and the machine is stopped. The dried material is then put into a 1.0 mm aperture pulverizer for crushing (80% passes through a 65 mesh sieve).

[0129] 3. Mixing and tableting:

[0130] After granulation, the granules are fed into a mixer, lubricant is added and mixed, and then tableted using a tablet press to obtain unprocessed tablets.

[0131] Pharmaceutical compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3

[0132] Using active pharmaceutical ingredients with different particle size distributions, and following the formulations and preparation methods of the above-mentioned basic embodiments, pharmaceutical compositions of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were prepared. In Example 1, the main ingredient was active pharmaceutical ingredient 1; in Example 2, the main ingredient was active pharmaceutical ingredient 4; in Example 3, the main ingredient was active pharmaceutical ingredient 5; and in Comparative Examples 1-3, the main ingredients were active pharmaceutical ingredients 6-8, respectively.

[0133] The properties of the pharmaceutical compositions prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-2 are shown in Table 3.

[0134] Table 3. Effects of different active pharmaceutical ingredients on the properties of the drug composition

[0135]

[0136] In the table, " / " indicates that the item was not detected.

[0137] The results show:

[0138] As shown in Examples 1-3, the pharmaceutical composition prepared by wet granulation using a raw material with a D50 of 20-75 μm and a K value of 1-2.5 exhibits a tablet hardness of over 45 N, a porosity of 1.3%-2.0%, good compressibility, small tablet weight variation (±0.9%~±1.2%), and extremely low friability of approximately 0.03%-0.08%. The 15-minute dissolution rate is ≥91.8%, and the RSD of dissolution at each time point does not exceed 10%. Furthermore, after 30 days of high-temperature storage, the tablet color of the pharmaceutical composition prepared by this invention remains unchanged and is still white. Although the content of impurity A and total impurities increases to some extent, the content does not exceed 1.0%, indicating that the raw material with a D50 of 20-75 μm and a K value of 1-2.5 has good process stability, dissolution stability, and chemical stability during wet granulation.

[0139] As shown in Comparative Example 1, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) has a large D50 and a K value exceeding 2.5. For example, with a D50 of 97.1 μm and a K value of 2.97, the particle size obtained after wet granulation is relatively large, resulting in poor compressibility of the formulation during tableting. Even increasing the tableting pressure does not improve the hardness of the tablets. This may be because the API has poor water absorption properties when the particle size is too large, making it difficult for the API to absorb water during wet granulation. Furthermore, the high moisture content in the excipients leads to over-granulation, which adversely affects the compressibility of the tablets. Simultaneously, the prepared tablets showed a 5-minute dissolution RSD of 19.2%, indicating significantly deteriorated dissolution stability.

[0140] As shown in Comparative Example 2, the D50 of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is 20-75 μm, but the K value exceeds 2.5. For example, if the D50 is 42.4 μm but the K value is greater than 2.5, the fragility of the tablets after wet granulation increases significantly, and the RSD of the 5-minute dissolution rate is high, reaching 23.2%, indicating deteriorated dissolution stability. Since compound A is a highly variable drug, an excessively high RSD of dissolution rate poses a potential risk of inconsistent dissolution behavior in vivo.

[0141] According to Comparative Example 3, the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) with a smaller D50 and a K value between 1 and 2.5 μm, for example, with a D50 of 6.9 μm and a K value of 2.41, the tablets obtained by wet granulation of this API showed a significantly increased difference in tablet weight (±5.5%) compared to the API with a larger particle size of 20-75 μm.

[0142] Meanwhile, experimental studies have found that when the D50 of the active pharmaceutical ingredient is too small, there is also a problem of low tableting qualification rate. The tablets prepared in Comparative Example 3 have a tableting qualification rate of less than 80%, while the tablets prepared in Examples 1-3 have a tableting qualification rate of more than 90%.

However, Example 6 exhibited some adhesion and cracking during the tableting process, resulting in a lower pass rate of approximately 85%. Comparative Example 4 showed significant adhesion and cracking during the tableting process, leading to a higher number of defective tablets and a pass rate below 80%.

[0191] [Evaluation of the effect of porosity on the performance of pharmaceutical compositions]

[0192] The following specific embodiments and comparative examples will further help those skilled in the art to understand the technical effects achieved by porosity in this invention.

[0194] Small-scale tests were conducted using the formulation of Example 1 and raw material 1, respectively. By controlling the particle size after granulation, the prepared tablets had different porosities.

[0195] The specific preparation method is as follows:

[0196] 1. Weigh the main ingredients, fillers, disintegrants, glidants, stabilizers, binders, and lubricants according to the prescription.

[0197] 2. Granulation and sizing:

After drying, crush and sieve the material to obtain materials of different granulation sizes.

[0200] 3. Mixing and tableting:

[0203] Pilot-scale tests were conducted using the formulation of Example 1 and raw material 1, respectively. By controlling the pressure of the tablet press, the prepared tablets were made to have different porosities.

[0204] The specific preparation method is as follows:

The dried material is then put into a pulverizer with a 1.0 mm aperture for pulverization.

[0209] 3. Mixing and tableting:

[0210] After granulation, the granules are fed into a mixer, lubricant is added and mixed, and pressure is applied using a tablet press. By controlling the main pressure, a drug composition with the corresponding porosity is obtained.

[0211] The properties of the pharmaceutical compositions prepared in Examples 8-13 and Comparative Examples 5-6 are shown in Table 10.

[0212] Table 10. Effect of porosity on the properties of pharmaceutical compositions

[0213]

[0214] Note:

[0215] (1) In the table, M1 indicates that all the granules after granulation pass through the 65-mesh sieve, M2 indicates that 75% of the granules after granulation pass through the 65-mesh sieve, and M3 indicates that the granules after granulation are the material on the 65-mesh sieve.

[0216] (2) In the table, “NA” means not detected and “ / ” means not detected.

[0217] The results show:

[0218] As can be seen from Examples 8-13, when the porosity of the pharmaceutical composition is less than 5%, it has good compressibility, small tablet weight difference, and friability not exceeding 0.2%; the prepared unprocessed tablets have a dissolution rate of greater than 85% after 15 minutes, and the RSD of dissolution rate at each time point does not exceed 10%; after high-temperature storage for 30 days, the increase in impurities is small, and it has good process performance, dissolution stability and chemical stability.

[0219] Comparing Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that when the porosity of the drug composition is greater than 5%, its brittleness will increase to 0.56%-0.79%, and the dissolution stability of the prepared tablets is poor, with a 5-minute dissolution RSD of more than 20%. After being stored at high temperature for 30 days, there are problems such as a significant increase in impurity A and total impurities (more than 1%) or tablet discoloration.

[0232] The coated tablets prepared in Example 14 are as follows Figure 2 As shown in Table 12, its performance is as follows.

[0233] Table 12 Performance of the uncoated and coated tablets prepared in Example 14

[0234]

[0235] The results showed that the tablets prepared using the active pharmaceutical ingredient of the present invention have high hardness, good compressibility, a tableting qualification rate of more than 95% during large-scale production, small tablet weight difference, and low brittleness; the dissolution rate at 15 min is greater than 90%, and the RSD of dissolution rate at each time point does not exceed 10%, indicating good process performance, dissolution stability and chemical stability.

[0236] Compared with the reference formulation, the dissolution rate of the reference formulation was 27.6% at 5 min and the RSD reached 29.4%. Therefore, compared with the reference formulation, the tablets prepared by this invention have better dissolution stability and reduce the potential risk of inconsistent dissolution behavior in vivo.
