Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a composition and the like. [Background technology]
[0002] Prednisolone valerate acetate, an adrenal corticosteroid, has excellent efficacy in the affected area. While it exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, it is a highly safe prodrug that turns into a less active substance in the body. Such excellent efficacy and high safety characteristics are the key factors in so-called self-medication. Therefore, in Japan, prednisolone valerate ester is Tertetraceate is effective against eczema, dermatitis, rashes, insect bites, itching, heat rash, hives, etc. It is widely used as an active ingredient in OTC drugs with efficacy and effectiveness (e.g., non-patented References 1, 2). [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Package insert: "Eczema and Dermatitis Treatment Drug Livmex Kowa Cream," Kowa Company, Ltd., October 2011 [Non-patent document 2] Package insert: "Eczema and Dermatitis Treatment Drug Livmex Kowa Ointment," Kowa Company, Ltd., October 2012 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Prednisolone valerate acetate-containing OTC medicines currently on the market Each product contains 1.5g of prednisolone valerate acetate per 1g of composition. mg (i.e., 0.15% by weight based on the total weight of the composition) It is a composition (ointment, cream, etc.). However, the anti-inflammatory effect is basically dose-dependent, so prednisolone valerate If the content of ester acetate exceeds 0.15% by mass, the anti-inflammatory effect is enhanced. It is believed that this will result in a pharmaceutical product with strong and excellent efficacy.
[0005] Therefore, the present inventors have developed a method for producing a prednisolone valerate acetate containing more than 0.15% by mass. In order to develop a liquid or semi-solid composition having the above properties, the storage stability of the composition was examined. The amount of prednisolone valerate acetate was 0.3 mass % based on the total mass of the composition. In the case of a liquid or semi-solid composition containing 100% of the above-mentioned hydroxybenzoates, the crystals were not crystalline after storage at -20°C for 1 week. It was found that precipitation problems occur. In a liquid or semi-solid composition containing 0.15% by mass of an acid ester acetate, Since no crystallization problems were observed during storage under these conditions, it is possible to When prednisolone valerate acetate is present, crystal precipitation occurs. It was found that the problem occurs when the content exceeds 0.15 mass %. Therefore, the present invention provides a composition containing more than 0.15% by weight of prednisolone valerate based on the total weight of the composition. A liquid containing tertiary acetic acid ester that is inhibited from crystallizing when stored at low temperatures. Alternatively, the present invention aims to provide a semi-solid composition.
