Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pharmaceutical preparation technology, specifically a method for the simultaneous sustained-release and synergistic preparation of compound sustained-release and controlled-release formulations. Background Technology
[0002] Sustained-release and controlled-release formulations maintain stable blood drug concentrations by controlling the drug release rate, reducing the frequency of dosing, improving patient adherence, and lowering the risk of adverse reactions caused by fluctuations in blood drug concentrations. They offer significant advantages in the treatment of chronic diseases. Compound sustained-release and controlled-release formulations further achieve comprehensive treatment of complex diseases through the synergistic effects of multiple drug components. Compared to single-component formulations, they feature enhanced synergistic efficacy and a broader range of indications.
[0003] However, the research and development and preparation of existing compound sustained-release formulations still face many technical bottlenecks: Firstly, the physicochemical properties (such as solubility, molecular weight, stability, etc.) of different drug components vary greatly, making it difficult to achieve simultaneous sustained release. This often results in a rapid release of one component leading to a sudden increase in blood drug concentration, while the release of another component is too slow to take effect in time. Secondly, the sustained-release excipients used in existing formulations are mostly traditional polymer materials, such as ethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Their sustained-release properties are singular, making it difficult to precisely control the release according to the release requirements of different drug components, and they lack synergistic effects with drug components. Third, existing preparation processes mostly involve step-by-step preparation followed by mixing and molding, which can easily lead to uneven component distribution, affecting the uniformity and stability of formulation release. At the same time, the process steps are cumbersome and the production cost is high.
[0004] Based on this, a method for the simultaneous sustained-release and synergistic preparation of compound sustained-release formulations was designed. Summary of the Invention
