[Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 shows the results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of the crystals composed of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid obtained in Example 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. In this embodiment, the composition may contain each component alone or in combination of two or more kinds. In this specification, the symbol "to" indicating a numerical range means "at least" or "at most", and includes both of the numerical values ​​at both ends.

[0016] (solid composition) In a first embodiment, the composition comprises the following ingredients: (A) at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and salts thereof, (B) at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and salts thereof, and (C) at least one member selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts A solid composition comprising, but excluding a solid composition comprising levocetirizine or loratadine. is provided. The solid composition is in particular a solid pharmaceutical composition.

[0017] Each component contained in the solid composition according to this embodiment may be contained in the form of a pharmacologically acceptable salt, or may be contained as a complex with other components. That is, the solid composition according to this embodiment may contain salts of each component, not only for the components (A) to (C), but also for the other components. The "pharmacologically acceptable salt" includes, for example, salts with medicamentously acceptable bases and acids. Non-limiting specific examples of pharmacologically acceptable salts include addition salts of inorganic acids (hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydroiodic acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, etc.), addition salts of organic acids (p-toluenesulfonic acid, methanesulfonic acid, oxalic acid, p-bromophenylsulfonic acid, carboxylic acids, succinic acid, citric acid, benzoic acid, acetic acid, etc.), addition salts of inorganic bases (ammonium hydroxide or alkali or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates, bicarbonates, etc.), and addition salts of amino acids, etc. The pharmacologically acceptable salt may be a hydrate salt or an anhydrous salt.

[0018] In this embodiment, in addition to at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, and at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts, the above-mentioned component (C) is contained, thereby improving the dissolution property of tipepidine in the solid composition.

[0019] In this specification, the improved elution property of tipepidine means that a solid composition does not contain at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts, and contains at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts and at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts; or a solid composition that does not contain at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts, or contains the same components as the solid composition to be evaluated for elution property except that it contains the same amount of other control components instead of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts. It means that the elution rate of tipepidine is improved compared to the solid composition. The elution rate of tipepidine may be measured after a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the elution test, for example, the elution rate of tipepidine 15 minutes or 30 minutes after the start of the test. The control component is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, crystalline cellulose.

[0020] In this embodiment, the elution property of tipepidine may be measured by, for example, the method described in the "Dissolution Test Method" of the 18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Specifically, it can be evaluated according to methods such as the paddle method, rotating basket method, and flow-through cell method described in the "Dissolution Test Method" of the 18th Revised Japanese Pharmacopoeia. In the dissolution test, the tipepidine dissolved in a predetermined test solution is quantified. More specifically, it may be measured using the method for measuring the elution rate of tipepidine described in the examples.

[0021] In the solid composition according to this embodiment, the elution rate of tipepidine 15 minutes after the start of the test when the above dissolution test is performed is preferably 30% or more, more preferably 35% or more, still more preferably 37% or more, and even more preferably 40% or more. The upper limit of the elution rate is not particularly limited, but the elution rate may be, for example, 100% or less, 99% or less, 98% or less, 95% or less, 90% or less, 80% or less, 70% or less, 60% or less, 55% or less, or 50% or less.

[0022] In the solid composition according to the present embodiment, the dissolution rate of tipepidine 30 minutes after the start of the above-mentioned dissolution test is preferably 45% or more, more preferably 50% or more, even more preferably 53% or more, and even more preferably 55% or more. The upper limit of the dissolution rate is not particularly limited, and the dissolution rate may be, for example, 100% or less, 99% or less, 98% or less, 95% or less, 90% or less, 80% or less, 70% or less, or 60% or less.

[0023] It should be noted that the solid composition of this embodiment excludes "a solid composition containing levocetirizine or loratadine."

[0024] Here, "levocetirizine" means a compound having the chemical formula C 21 H 25 ClN 2 O 3 Levocetirizine is a compound represented by the formula: Levocetirizine is a compound obtained by optical resolution of only the R-enantiomer, which has stronger physiological activity among the optical isomers of cetirizine, and has a CAS registration number of 130018-77-8. In addition, the solid composition of this embodiment excludes a solid composition containing a salt of levocetirizine. The salt of levocetirizine is not particularly limited as long as it is a pharmacologically acceptable salt, and examples thereof include salts of inorganic acids such as hydrochloride, hydrobromide, and phosphate, and salts of organic acids such as acetate, oxalate, malonate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, lactate, malate, citrate, tartrate, and carbonate, and the like, and particularly hydrochloride.

[0025] Here, "loratadine" means a compound having the chemical formula C 22 H 23 ClN 2 O 2 and its CAS registry number is 79794-75-5.

[0026] In addition, in the solid composition of the present embodiment, the solid compositions disclosed in JP-A-2022-008041 and JP-A-2020-158487 are each excluded. The solid composition disclosed in JP-A-2022-008041 is a pharmaceutical composition in which the content reduction of levocetirizine or a salt thereof over time is suppressed even when it contains ibuprofen and levocetirizine or a salt thereof. The solid composition disclosed in JP-A-2020-158487 is a solid composition in which the content reduction of loratadine over time is suppressed even when it contains ibuprofen and loratadine. However, the solid composition of the present embodiment is a solid composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts, which suppresses the property changes that can occur by blending at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts with at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts.

[0027] (A) At least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts As used herein, "tipepidine" has a CAS registration number of 5169-78-8 and is a compound represented by the chemical formula C 15 H 17 NS 2 (molecular weight: 275.43 g / mol). Tipepidine is used as an active ingredient for cough suppression and expectoration. The salt of tipepidine is not particularly limited as long as it is pharmacologically acceptable, and examples include tipepidine hibenzate and tipepidine citrate. In addition, the blending amount and content of at least one selected from the group consisting of the following tipepidine and its salts are the blending amount and content for each of tipepidine and the salt of tipepidine, but it is preferable that the total blending amount and content of tipepidine and the salt of tipepidine fall within the range of the blending amount and content described below.

[0028] The amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of component (A) tipepidine and its salts is appropriately adjusted depending on the use of at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts in the solid composition, symptoms, age, weight, sex, etc. of the subject to be administered. For example, the daily amount of tipepidine administered to an adult can be adjusted within the range of, for example, 8 mg to 120 mg, more preferably 16 mg to 100 mg. In this embodiment, "adult" means males and females aged 15 years or older. However, the solid composition according to this embodiment is not limited to that for adults, and may be that for children under 15 years of age. When administered by children, the amount can be reduced to 1 / 2 or 2 / 3 of the amount administered by adults per day depending on each age group. The same applies to components other than tipepidine.

[0029] The above dosage is an example, and the content of at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts per solid composition administered per day is, for example, about 0.1 to about 40 mass%, preferably about 0.3 to about 30 mass%, and more preferably about 0.5 to about 20 mass%.

[0030] In one embodiment, the content of tipepidine in the composition to be administered daily is 0.1 to 40% by mass, preferably 0.3 to 30% by mass, and more preferably 0.5 to 20% by mass.

[0031] The weight and dosage of the above solid composition are the dosage per day (daily amount), but the same amount may be administered to the subject once or multiple times a day, for example, twice or three times, preferably three times. The same applies to ingredients other than tipepidine. In addition, since each dosage is the total amount, the content of each ingredient contained in the solid composition may vary depending on the dosage per time and the dosage form of the solid composition.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the solid composition is a tablet, and the dosage is the amount of the ingredient contained in 3, 6, or 9 tablets, preferably the amount of the ingredient contained in 9 tablets. In this embodiment, the dosage for an adult (15 years of age or older) is 3 tablets, and the dosage is 2, 3, or 4 tablets, preferably 3 tablets.

[0033] (B) at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts As used herein, "tranexamic acid" refers to the compound having the CAS Registry Number 1197-18-8 and C 8 H 15 NO 2 (Molecular weight: 157.21 g / mol). Tranexamic acid is used as an active ingredient of anti-inflammatory drugs and the like. There are no particular limitations on the salt of tranexamic acid as long as it is pharmacologically acceptable. The amount and content of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts described below are the amounts and contents of tranexamic acid and tranexamic acid salts, respectively, but it is preferable that the total amount and content of tranexamic acid and tranexamic acid salts is within the range of the amount and content described below.

[0034] The amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts is appropriately adjusted depending on the use of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts in the composition. When at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts is added for the purpose of antiplasmin action, hemostatic action, or antiallergic / anti-inflammatory action, the amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts varies depending on the amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, and the amount per day is, for example, in the range of 10 mg to 3000 mg, preferably 100 mg to 2000 mg, more preferably 200 mg to 1000 mg.

[0035] The content of tranexamic acid and its salts contained in the composition administered daily is 1% to 70% by mass, preferably 5% to 50% by mass, more preferably 10% to 30% by mass.

[0036] The dosage of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts may vary depending on the amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts. For example, the mass ratio ((A):(B)) of the total amount of component (A) and the total amount of component (B) in the solid composition according to this embodiment is preferably 1:3 to 1:25, more preferably 1:3.5 to 1:23, and even more preferably 1:4 to 1:20 in the solid composition administered daily. By including at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts within the above range with respect to at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, the elution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be improved.

[0037] For example, the mass ratio ((A):(B)) of component (A) and (B) in the solid composition according to this embodiment is preferably 1:3 to 1:25, more preferably 1:4 to 1:23, and even more preferably 1:5 to 1:20 in terms of tranexamic acid and tipepidine in the solid composition administered daily. By including at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts within the above range with respect to tipepidine, the elution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be improved.

[0038] For example, the mass ratio ((A):(B)) of component (A) and (B) in the solid composition according to this embodiment is preferably 1:3 to 1:25, more preferably 1:3.5 to 1:20, and even more preferably 1:4 to 1:15 in terms of tranexamic acid and tipepidine benzoate in the solid composition administered daily. By including at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts within the above range with respect to tipepidine benzoate, the elution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be improved.

[0039] In one embodiment, in the solid composition, tranexamic acid may form a crystal with ibuprofen. The amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts described in this specification may be the total amount of tranexamic acid crystallized with ibuprofen and at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and its salts that are not crystallized.

[0040] In one embodiment, the solid composition comprises ibuprofen and at least one member selected from the group consisting of crystallized tranexamic acid and non-crystallized tranexamic acid and salts thereof.

[0041] In one embodiment, the content of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and non-crystallized tranexamic acid and its salts contained in the solid composition may be, for example, 0 to 100 mass%, 10 to 99 mass%, 20 to 95 mass%, or 30 to 90 mass% based on the total amount of tranexamic acid and its salts. The content of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and non-crystallized tranexamic acid and its salts contained in the solid composition may be, for example, 8 mass% or less, 5 mass% or less, 3 mass% or less, 1 mass% or less, or 0.1 mass% or less based on the total amount of tranexamic acid and its salts, within the above range. The content of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and non-crystallized tranexamic acid and its salts contained in the solid composition may be, for example, 40 mass% or more, 50 mass% or more, 60 mass% or more, 70 mass% or more, or 80 mass% or more based on the total amount of tranexamic acid and its salts, within the above range.

[0042] (C) at least one member selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts As used herein, "ibuprofen" refers to the compound having the CAS Registry Number 15687-27-1 and C 13 H 18 O 2(Molecular weight: 206.29 g / mol). Ibuprofen is used as an active ingredient in anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, etc. The salt of ibuprofen is not particularly limited as long as it is pharmacologically acceptable. The amount and content of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts are the amounts and contents of ibuprofen and ibuprofen salts, respectively, but it is preferable that the total amount and content of ibuprofen and ibuprofen salts is within the range of the amount and content described below.

[0043] The amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts is appropriately adjusted depending on the use of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts in the solid composition, the required degree of dissolution of tipepidine, and the symptoms, age, weight, sex, etc. of the subject to be administered. For example, the daily amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts administered to an adult can be adjusted within the range of, for example, 30 mg to 2000 mg, preferably 100 mg to 1000 mg, more preferably 200 mg to 600 mg.

[0044] The amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts may vary depending on the amount of at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts.

By containing at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and its salts in the above range relative to at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and its salts, the dissolution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be improved.

[0045] For example, the mass ratio ((A):(C)) of components (A) and (C) in the solid composition according to the present embodiment is, in terms of ibuprofen and tipepidine in the solid composition administered daily, preferably 1:2 to 1:30, more preferably 1:4 to 1:25, and even more preferably 1:6 to 1:20. By including at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and salts thereof in the above range relative to at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and salts thereof, the dissolution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be further improved.

[0046] For example, the mass ratio ((A):(C)) of components (A) and (C) in the solid composition according to the present embodiment is preferably 1:2 to 1:30, more preferably 1:3 to 1:20, and even more preferably 1:4 to 1:10, calculated as ibuprofen and tipepidine hibenzate in the solid composition administered daily. By including at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and salts thereof in the above range relative to at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and salts thereof, the dissolution property of tipepidine in the solid composition tends to be further improved.

[0047] The above dosage is an example, and the content of at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and salts thereof per solid composition administered per day is, for example, about 1% by mass to about 70% by mass, preferably about 5% by mass to about 50% by mass, and more preferably about 10% by mass to about 30% by mass.

The solid composition of this embodiment is preferably an oral solid composition.

[0097] The dosage form of the solid composition of this embodiment may be, for example, a tablet, a capsule, a pill, a granule, or a fine granule. These solid compositions may be coated with sugar coating or film coating by a known method as necessary. The dosage form of the solid composition is preferably a tablet. Specific examples of tablets include plain tablets, film-coated tablets, and sugar-coated tablets.

[0098] The solid composition of the present embodiment may be once packaged in a bottle, PTP, pouch, stick, or SP package and then stored airtight. These may then be pillow-packaged, or stored in a box or the like. The material used for the pillow packaging is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a resin film such as a polypropylene film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, or a polyethylene film, or a resin film with aluminum foil attached thereto. If hygroscopicity is a concern, a desiccant or the like may be stored simultaneously in the bottle packaging or pillow packaging.

[0099] The solid composition of the present embodiment may be contained in a packaging container to form a package. The solid composition of the present embodiment may be contained in, for example, an airtight package. By forming the solid composition into a package, for example, the convenience of using the solid composition can be improved. Specifically, the package in the present embodiment is a pharmaceutical product.

[0100] As for the packaging form of the solid preparation, the solid composition may be once packaged and stored airtight in a bottle package, a PTP package (press through package), a pouch package, a stick package, a SP package (strip package), or the like. Furthermore, these may be pillow-packaged, or may be stored in a box, or the like. In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing moisture absorption of the solid composition, a desiccant or the like may be stored simultaneously in a packaging container such as a bottle package or a pillow package.

[0101] Materials used for SP packaging, PTP packaging, stick packaging, pillow packaging, etc. include, for example, resin films such as polypropylene film, polyethylene terephthalate film, polyethylene film, etc., and these resin films with aluminum foil attached. Either a single-layer film or a multi-layer film (for example, a laminate film) may be used.

[0102] In addition, the material constituting the packaging container preferably contains a material that is not easily affected by moisture. Examples of such packaging include packaging made of at least one of a moisture-proof material and a gas barrier material.

[0103] As the moisture-proof material, for example, a combination of PTP (polypropylene) and polyethylene aluminum pillow may be used. When the solid composition is a tablet, PTP packaging (Al-Al packaging) using aluminum on both sides may be used as the moisture-proof material, taking into consideration the suppression of increase in moisture content in the tablet, storage stability of the tablet, stability of the tablet after opening, etc.

[0104] The gas barrier material may be a known material, for example a laminate film having a functional barrier layer, which may also serve as the moisture-proof material or may be used in combination with the moisture-proof material.

[0105] Furthermore, packaging containers may be environmentally friendly, for example, environmentally friendly materials such as recycled plastics, biomass plastics, and biodegradable plastics may be used as part or all of the packaging material.

[0106] (Manufacturing method) In a second aspect, there is provided a method for producing a solid composition, comprising the steps of contacting (A) at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and salts thereof, (B) at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and salts thereof, and (C) at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and salts thereof.

[0107] The solid composition can be produced using known techniques. Each component is added at any step and finally contacted with each other. A solvent or binder may be added to the contacted mixture and kneaded to obtain a solid composition. A crystal consisting of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid can be produced by the method described in JP 2022-70674 A (above). After forming a crystal consisting of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid, the crystal may be contacted or kneaded with at least one selected from the group consisting of (A) tipepidine and its salts. Alternatively, each component may be contacted sequentially or simultaneously as appropriate.

[0108] The resulting kneaded product can be further subjected to a drying process and a granulation process to produce a granule (granulated product). In this case, the granule (granulated product) containing each component may be prepared separately. Granulation may be performed by a wet method or a dry method.

[0109] The obtained granules (granulated product) can be directly used or can be mixed with additives and compressed into tablets to produce plain tablets, or can be further film-coated.

[0110] (Dissolution improver) In a third aspect, there is provided an agent for improving the dissolution property of tipepidine in a solid composition comprising (I) at least one selected from the group consisting of tipepidine and salts thereof, and (II) at least one selected from the group consisting of tranexamic acid and salts thereof, which comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and salts thereof.

[0111] The at least one member selected from the group consisting of ibuprofen and a salt thereof is as described in component (C) of the solid composition of this embodiment, and the above components (I) and (II) are as described in components (A) and (B) of the solid composition of this embodiment.

[0112] The dissolution improver is preferably used in an amount such that the amount of ibuprofen blended relative to component (I) or (II) falls within the range described as the preferred content of component (C) in the solid composition according to this embodiment. In addition, ibuprofen may be added to the solid composition without crystallizing with tranexamic acid (in a non-crystallized state).

[0113] In order to explain the present invention in more detail, examples are described below, but the present invention is not limited to these. EXAMPLES

[0114] 1. Raw materials In this example, the following raw materials were used: [Table 1]

[0115] 2. Preparation of Solid Composition (Reference example 1) Tipepidine hybenzate and crystalline cellulose were weighed out in the amounts shown in Table 1, sieved through a 30 mesh screen, and then mixed 100 times in a 4K standard bottle to obtain a mixture.

[0116] (Reference Example 2, Comparative Example 1, Example 1) A mixture was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 1, except that ibuprofen and / or tranexamic acid were used in the weighed amounts shown in Table 1.

[0117] Example 2 Using a mixer torque rheometer 3 (manufactured by Caleva), 11.1 g of ibuprofen and 13.9 g of tranexamic acid were mixed in a stirring vessel, and then 3.0 ml of 90% ethanol was added and kneaded for 10 minutes. The obtained wet granules were dried at 60°C for 1 hour to obtain granules of crystals consisting of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid. A mixture was obtained in the same manner as in Reference Example 1, except that the granules obtained in the weighed amounts shown in Table 1 were used.

[0118] 6 mg of the obtained granules were placed in an aluminum pan, and the temperature range of 25 to 250°C was measured at a rate of 10°C per minute using a differential scanning calorimeter DSC3+ (Mettler Toledo). The results are shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 1, the peak derived from ibuprofen at around 75°C disappears, and a peak derived from crystals consisting of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid appears at around 180°C, confirming that the produced granules contain crystals in which the molar ratio of ibuprofen to tranexamic acid is 1:1.

[0119] The amount (g) of each sample is shown in the table below. In the table below, the granules produced in Example 2 contain crystals consisting of ibuprofen and tranexamic acid. [Table 2]

[0120] 3. Measurement of dissolution of solid compositions The dissolution property of tipepidine in the prepared samples was evaluated as follows. Specifically, the dissolution test was performed using a dissolution tester (NTR-6400AC, Toyama Sangyo Co., Ltd.) according to the "Dissolution Test Method (Paddle Method)" described in the 18th Edition of the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Each mixture of the prepared samples was weighed out in the amount of test sample described in Table 1. The weighed test sample was placed in a test solution of 900 mL of water and tested at 100 revolutions per minute by the paddle method, and the dissolution rate of tipepidine was evaluated 15 minutes and 30 minutes after the start of the test. The results are shown in Table 3. As shown in Table 3, the dissolution property of tipepidine was improved by adding ibuprofen to tipepidine hibenzate and tranexamic acid.

[0121] The dissolution rate of tipepidine was measured by spectrophotometry using a standard solution of known concentration. The absorbance at wavelengths of 286 nm and 360 nm was measured, and the concentration was calculated by subtracting the absorbance at 360 nm from the absorbance at 286 nm to remove background signals.

[0122] [Table 3]

[0123] Examples of solid formulations are shown below.
