Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical technology, specifically to a highly stable bumetanide tablet and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Bumetanib is a potent loop helix diuretic, and the most commonly available bumetanib tablets are currently 1 mg. Clinically, it is mainly used to treat edematous diseases, hypertension, acute kidney injury, and other conditions, and is especially suitable for patients with refractory edema who are unresponsive to furosemide.
[0003] During formulation manufacturing and storage, the secondary amine group in the bumetanide molecule may react with residual nitrites in excipients or nitrogen oxides in the environment to generate N-nitrosobumetanide impurities. This impurity belongs to the nitrosamine class of compounds, has clear genotoxicity, and is listed as a high-risk impurity by international drug regulatory agencies.
[0004] Given the well-established genotoxicity of nitrosamine impurities and the requirements for drug safety, drug regulatory agencies in various countries have established strict limit control systems for nitrosamine impurities. Control is implemented according to the Threshold for Toxicological Concern (TTC, 1.5 μg / day) proposed in the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) M7(R1) guidelines. This standard fully considers the differences in tolerance among different populations, as well as factors such as the duration of drug use and route of administration, aiming to control the lifelong carcinogenic risk of patients taking this drug to below one in 100,000. In drug quality control, impurity limits are calculated based on the maximum daily intake of the drug. For the bumetanide preparation of this product, the maximum daily oral dose is 20 mg. The limit for nitrosamine impurities in the drug is calculated as follows: Control is implemented according to the Threshold for Toxicological Concern (TTC, 1.5 μg / day) proposed in the ICH M7(R1) guidelines:
[0005] Limit = 10 6 =75ppm, meaning the control limit for nitrosamine impurities in bumetanide is 75ppm.
[0006] The inventors discovered in their stability study of marketed bumetanide tablets that the N-nitrosobumetanide impurity exceeded the limit after 3 months of storage under accelerated test conditions of 40±2℃ and 75±5%RH.
[0007] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has studied the addition of antioxidants (such as ascorbic acid, caffeic acid, and ferulic acid) to bumetanide formulations to inhibit the formation of nitrosamine impurities. Experiments confirmed that ascorbic acid showed the strongest inhibitory effect; however, in practical applications, it can lead to the generation of unknown impurities in the formulation and introduce other impurities due to the degradation of the excipient itself, resulting in poor compatibility with bumetanide.
[0008] Patent CN120713883A discloses an oral solid dosage form of bumetanide with improved stability. Its core solution involves using ascorbate palmitate or propyl gallate to inhibit the formation of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities. This technical solution has the following limitations: Firstly, the control level of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities is limited. Data from the patent's examples show that N-nitrosobumetanide impurities were detected under accelerated 1-month conditions, and the impurity content continued to increase with prolonged storage time. Secondly, the excipients used in this patent differ from those in the original formulation, and no dissolution comparison data is provided, making it impossible to rule out dissolution risks.
[0009] The stability of bumetanide formulations has always been a technical challenge in the field. Under accelerated testing conditions of 40±2℃ and 75±5%RH, conventional bumetanide formulations show limited control of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities, and existing processes are complex and difficult to industrialize.
[0010] Therefore, developing a bumetanide drug composition that can effectively inhibit the formation of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities, has a simple process, and is suitable for industrial production has important clinical value and commercial significance. Summary of the Invention

[0110] Test case
[0111] The above-described examples, comparative examples, and original bumetanide tablets were placed under conditions of (40±2℃ / 75±5%RH) for 6 months. Samples were taken at different time points to test the appearance, related substances, N-nitrosobumetanide impurities, and dissolution rate.
[0112] The method for detecting N-nitrosobumetanide impurities is as follows: Determination is performed by liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS / MS). The solvent is methanol-water (containing 0.1% formic acid). For the test solution, take 20 tablets of this product, grind them finely, accurately weigh an appropriate amount (approximately equivalent to 50 mg of bumetanide), place it in a 50 ml volumetric flask, add an appropriate amount of methanol, sonicate to dissolve the bumetanide, dilute to the mark with solvent, shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate. For the reference solution, accurately weigh an appropriate amount of N-nitrosobumetanide reference standard, dissolve it in methanol, and quantitatively dilute to prepare a solution containing approximately 0.05 μg per ml. For the system suitability solution, take appropriate amounts of N-nitrosobumetanide reference standard and bumetanide reference standard, dissolve them in methanol, and dilute to prepare a mixed solution containing approximately 0.1 μg of each per ml. Chromatographic conditions: Octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel was used as the stationary phase (Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18, 4.6 mm × 150 mm, 3.5 μm or equivalent column). 0.1% formic acid solution was used as mobile phase A and methanol was used as mobile phase B. Gradient elution was performed according to the table below. The flow rate was 1.0 mL per minute, the column temperature was 35 °C, and the injection volume was 50 μL.
[0113] Table 7
[0114]
[0115] Related substances detection method: Determined according to high performance liquid chromatography (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, Part IV, General Chapter 0512). Solvent: Acetonitrile-water (4:6); Test solution: Take 10 tablets of this product, place them in a 20ml volumetric flask, add an appropriate amount of solvent, sonicate to dissolve bumetanide, dilute to the mark with solvent, shake well, filter, and collect the filtrate. For the reference solution, accurately measure 1 ml of the test solution and place it in a 100 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with solvent and shake well. For the system suitability solution, take appropriate amounts of bumetanide reference standard and each impurity reference standard, dissolve and dilute with solvent to prepare a mixed solution containing approximately 1 μg of each in 1 ml. For the chromatographic conditions, use octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel as the stationary phase (Waters XBridge C18, 4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm or equivalent column), with 0.05% phosphoric acid solution as mobile phase A and acetonitrile as mobile phase B. Perform gradient elution according to the table below, with a flow rate of 1.0 ml per minute; column temperature of 30°C; detection wavelength of 254 nm; and injection volume of 10 μl.
[0116] Table 8
[0117]
[0118] Dissolution testing method: The dissolution and release rate determination was performed according to the method of determination of dissolution and release rate (Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, Part IV, General Chapter 0931, Method I) and high performance liquid chromatography (General Chapter 0512). The dissolution medium was 900 ml of phosphate buffer (pH 7.8–8.0), using the basket method, a rotation speed of 100 rpm, and a temperature of 37℃ ± 0.5℃. The procedure was followed, and samples were taken after 30 minutes. 25 ml of the dissolution solution was collected from the test solution, filtered, and the filtrate was collected. For the reference solution, accurately weigh bumetanide reference standard, dissolve and quantitatively dilute with dissolution medium to prepare a solution containing approximately 1.1 μg per ml; for the system suitability solution, dissolve and dilute an appropriate amount of bumetanide reference standard with dissolution medium to prepare a solution containing approximately 1.1 μg per ml; for the chromatographic conditions, use octadecylsilane-bonded silica gel as the stationary phase (e.g., YMC-Pack ODS-A, 4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm or equivalent column), with methanol-0.1% trifluoroacetic acid solution (58:42) as the mobile phase, a flow rate of 1.0 ml per minute; a detection wavelength of 344 nm; a column temperature of room temperature; and an injection volume of 100 μl.

[0126]
[0127] As shown in Table 9, after 6 months of accelerated testing at 40℃±2℃ and 75%±5%RH: the reference formulation (Burinex) ® The total impurity content increased over time and was generally higher than in the embodiments of the present invention. This result indicates that the combined use of anhydrous sodium sulfite and sodium bicarbonate in the present invention has an inhibitory effect on the formation of related substances.
[0128] As shown in Table 9, the sample samples from the examples, after being placed under accelerated testing conditions of 40℃±2℃ and 75%±5%RH for 6 months, all appeared as off-white flakes, while Comparative Example 3 (ascorbic acid group) showed yellowing. This result indicates that the formulation of the present invention has a greater advantage in terms of appearance stability.
[0129] As shown in Table 10, N-nitrosobumetanide impurities were detected in the reference formulation and all comparative examples at 0°C, while those in Examples 1-5 were not detected within 6 months under accelerated conditions of 40°C ± 2°C and 75% ± 5% RH. These results indicate that the combined use of anhydrous sodium sulfite and sodium bicarbonate in this invention can effectively inhibit the formation of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities.
[0130] As shown in Table 11, the samples from the examples, after being placed under accelerated conditions of 40℃±2℃ and 75%±5%RH for 6 months, all met the quality standard requirements for dissolution. This result demonstrates that the formulation and preparation method of this invention have advantages in terms of dissolution behavior stability.
[0131] In summary, the bumetanide oral solid dosage form provided by this invention, through the synergistic effect of anhydrous sodium sulfite and sodium bicarbonate, can effectively control the formation of N-nitrosobumetanide impurities and other related substances, while maintaining the good appearance and dissolution behavior of the formulation, and significantly improving the stability and safety of the bumetanide formulation.
