Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, and in particular to an ibuprofen suspension and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Ibuprofen is an antipyretic and analgesic used to treat fever caused by the common cold or influenza in children. It is also used to relieve mild to moderate pain in children, such as headaches, joint pain, migraines, toothaches, muscle pain, and neuralgia. Ibuprofen suspension was developed by Johnson and Johnson and launched in the United States in 1995 under the brand name Children's. It was launched in Australia in 2000 under the brand name CHILDREN'S. Original research and localization It was launched in China in 1999, with a specification of 100ml: 2g. The recommended dose is 75mg, once daily, orally, with or without food.
[0003] Ibuprofen suspensions currently suffer from poor stability and uniformity after long-term storage. Chinese patent application CN202211688494.8 discloses a preparation process to improve the uniformity of ibuprofen suspension content. In this process, xanthan gum is added to purified water, stirred for 5–15 minutes, and then sealed for 8–20 hours to allow swelling. Furthermore, the prepared solution needs to be left to stand overnight. This process is too time-consuming and increases the risk of microbial contamination, making it difficult to commercialize. Therefore, improving the stability, uniformity, and production efficiency of ibuprofen suspensions remains a pressing technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ibuprofen suspension and its preparation method.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] The wetting agent is polysorbate 80;
[0011] The humectant is glycerin;
[0012] The pH adjuster is one or more of citric acid, citrate, hydrogen citrate, tartrate, hydrogen tartrate, and phosphate.

[0026] (8) Under homogeneous stirring, vacuum defoaming is performed until the negative pressure reaches above -0.05Mpa, and defoaming is carried out for 15 minutes;
[0027] (9) After the defoaming solution is removed, it is filled into a container to obtain ibuprofen suspension.
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:
[0029] This invention screens the types and amounts of suspending agents, and finally selects microcrystalline cellulose-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate as suspending agents.

[0145] Application examples
[0146] 1. Determination of sedimentation volume ratio
[0147] The method is as follows:
[0148] Take 50 ml of sample and pour it into a 100 ml stoppered graduated cylinder. Seal the cylinder tightly and shake vigorously for 1 minute. Record the initial height H0 of the suspension. Let it stand for 3 hours and record the final height H of the suspension. Calculate the sedimentation volume ratio using the formula: sedimentation volume ratio = H / H0, which should not be less than 0.90.
[0149] The suspensions prepared in Examples 1-3 of this invention were in three batches, with batch numbers 2301601, 2301602 and 2301603 respectively; the suspensions prepared in Comparative Examples 1-5 were in five batches, with batch numbers 2301604, 2301605, 2301606, 2301607 and 2301608 respectively; the sedimentation volume ratio of a commercially available formulation suspension (batch number 221101124, Shanghai Johnson & Johnson) and the suspensions prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were determined according to the above method, and the results are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0150] Table 1. Sedimentation volume ratio test results of examples, comparative examples, and commercially available formulations.

[0152] Table 2. Results of accelerated sedimentation volume ratio tests for the examples, comparative examples, and commercially available formulations (40℃±2℃ / not exceeding 25% RH)
[0153]
[0154] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the sedimentation volume ratios of the drugs in the embodiments of the present invention all meet the requirements. During the accelerated testing period, the sedimentation volume ratios of Examples 1-3 and the commercially available formulations were consistent at day 0 and also consistent during the accelerated testing period, all meeting the requirements. Comparative Examples 1-2, due to changes in the suspending agent, resulted in sedimentation volume ratio issues. Therefore, the sedimentation volume ratios of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were significantly worse than those of Examples 1-3, and showed a clear decreasing trend during the accelerated testing period, approaching the limit at 6 months, posing a significant stability risk.
[0155] 2. Measurement of mixing uniformity
[0156] The method is as follows:
[0157] After the medicine solution is prepared, samples are taken at 10 locations in the mixing tank to test the mixing uniformity. See the sampling diagram below. Figure 1 Mixing uniformity samples were taken from Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-5, and the test results are shown in Table 3.
[0158] Table 3. Results of mixing uniformity testing in the mixing tanks of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 3-5
[0159]
[0160] As shown in Tables 1 and 2, Comparative Example 3 significantly affected the sedimentation volume ratio of the formulation due to the altered ratio of microcrystalline cellulose-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate. Therefore, only the specific ratio of microcrystalline cellulose-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium alginate in the embodiments of this invention can achieve uniform drug dispersion. Comparative Example 5, due to the lack of homogenization during preparation, experienced a decrease in the dispersion and dissolution rate of the suspending agent. The sedimentation volume ratio of Comparative Example 5 was significantly worse than that of Examples 1-3, and it showed a clear decreasing trend during accelerated testing, approaching its limit after 6 months of accelerated testing, posing a significant stability risk.
[0161] As shown in Table 3, compared with Comparative Examples 3-5, the RSD of the mixing uniformity of Example 1 is significantly lower than that of Comparative Examples 3-5. This indicates that the drug in Example 1 is fully and uniformly dispersed in the suspension. Furthermore, Example 1 does not require overnight storage; the drug solution can be filled immediately after preparation, shortening the production time and greatly improving production efficiency. Therefore, the ibuprofen suspension prepared by this invention can be directly filled after vacuum defoaming, while simultaneously solving the problems of poor stability and uniformity during long-term storage.
[0162] The embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present invention, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
