The present invention also includes preparing the formulation. a simple, fast, cost-effective, time-saving and industrially viable method It is related. Background of the Invention Avatrombopag, sold under the brand name Doptelet, is for those undergoing a planned medical or dental procedure. thrombocytopenia, such as thrombocytopenia associated with chronic liver disease in adults Avatrombopag maleate is a medication used for certain conditions that cause low platelet count. The molecular formula is CH Cl NOS .CHO and the structural formula (I) is as follows: 29 34 2 6 3 2 4 4 4 Formula I Avatrombopag is a white to off-white powder with a non-chiral structure. The compound is practical. It is insoluble in water and is not hygroscopic. However, avatrombopag maleate is soluble in water and It is virtually insoluble in 0.1M hydrochloric acid and operates within the pH range of all systems in the body. It is almost insoluble. Avatrombopag maleate is a compound that can simulate the biological effect of TPO, stimulating platelet production. An oral, small-molecule thrombopoietin that increases platelet count and is a clinical emergency drug. It is a TPO receptor (c-Mpl) agonist. Patent CN112022825A describes avatrombopag maleate tablets and preparation method. It is explained in this patent that the crystalline form of Avatrombopag maleate is Form C. 2 In the patent CN118453530A, an avatrombopag maleate tablet and avatrombopag maleate tablet The preparation method is described. Avatrombopag maleate tablets consist of a tablet core and a film. It contains a coating layer; the tablet core contains avatrombopag maleate (particle). The size D90 is equal to or less than 85.6 mm), a filler containing anhydrous lactose and lactose (4.6: 1)-(3: 1), adopts two internal and external addition modes, one dispersing agent and one sliding agent, the ratio of the particle dispersing material to the inner and outer addition (2:1)-(4:1) and the ratio of the lubricant to the inner and outer The addition ratio is (1:1)-(1:2.4). In this patent, the crystalline form of Avatrombopag maleate is Form C. Avatrombopag is generally used in solid form in formulations; drug polymorphism affects drug quality. and is one of the important factors affecting the clinical therapeutic effect, therefore the crystalline form It has very important implications for research. There are many patent applications for the avatrombopag technique from the previous era. It is still new and simple. A formulation and process are needed to overcome the low solubility of the active substance. To achieve this, the crystalline B form of avatrombopag maleate was used. Avatrombopag maleate B When this form is used, a high-resolution formulation is obtained, and therefore the desired result is achieved. A dissolution profile has been obtained. Detailed description of the invention The main objective of the present invention is to create a film containing avatrombopag maleate with the desired dissolution profile. The goal is to provide a coated tablet formulation. Another objective of the present invention is to create avatrombopag with uniform and fluid content. The goal is to provide a film-coated tablet formulation containing maleate. Another aim of this invention is to produce avatrombopag maleate, which is a simple and cost-effective process. The aim is to provide the process for preparing film-coated tablet formulations. Avatrombopag maleate exhibits low solubility in water, which necessitates techniques to improve its solubility. formulated in oral solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules without being used This can make things more difficult. Since avatrombopag maleate is sparingly soluble in water, the dissolution rate is slow. That's possible. Therefore, there is still a need to develop a new formulation with high solubility. there are. In our studies, we identified various crystalline forms of avatrombopag maleate, namely A, B, and C. We tried it. However, when we used form B of avatrombopag maleate, the solubility was higher than that of forms A and C. We observed that it gave better results according to its forms. Therefore, avatrombopag maleate B By using this form, we obtained a high-resolution formulation.
