It is a 2-molecule thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor (c-Mpl) agonist. Patent number CN112022825A covers avatrombopag maleate tablets and their preparation. This patent describes the method. In this patent, the crystalline form of avatrombopag maleate is C. It is the form. Patent number CN118453530A describes an avatrombopag maleate tablet and avatrombopag This describes a preparation method for maleate tablets. Avatrombopag maleate tablets, It consists of a tablet core and a film coating layer; the tablet core part of the drug. It contains avatrombopag maleate (D90 particle size less than or equal to 85.6 µm); The filler material is anhydrous lactose and lactose, and their ratio is (4.6:1)-(3:1), There are two modes of application for decomposition agents and lubricants: internal and external addition. Internal and external addition ratio of the decomposition agent (2:1)-(4:1) and internal and external of the lubricant agent The addition ratio is (1:1)-(1:2.4). In this patent, the crystalline form of avatrombopag maleate is described. It is form C. Avatrombopag maleate presents certain technical challenges in formulation development. It is an active ingredient. Its low solubility in water has led to the development of oral solid dosage forms. This is a significant disadvantage that makes it difficult and potentially leads to limited dissolution rates and Therefore, it may lead to decreased bioavailability. Also, avatrombopag maleate Formulations usually contain a low dose of the active ingredient, in powder mixtures. This makes it difficult to ensure a homogeneous distribution, which in turn affects content uniformity. This can lead to problems. There were several patent applications related to avatrombopag maleate in the previous period. However, none of these applications resulted from the low solubility of the active ingredient. problems and content uniformity issues resulting from low dose usage It does not offer a solution at the same time. Therefore, in pharmaceutical formulations containing avatrombopag maleate, the active ingredient ensuring homogeneous distribution within the mixture and overcoming the limitations associated with low solubility. An improved formulation is needed that helps overcome this. We By selecting lactose monohydrate with particle size less than 250 µm (d(0.9)), these problems can be avoided. We overcame it. Detailed Description of the Invention The main objective of the present invention is to achieve the desired dissolution profile, content uniformity and fluidity. The aim is to provide a pharmaceutical compound containing avatrombopag maleate. Another aim of the present invention is to provide a simple and effective method for preparing pharmaceutical compounds. The goal is to provide a cost-effective process. The low water solubility of avatrombopag maleate makes oral solid dosage forms difficult. Low water levels constitute a significant disadvantage that makes development difficult. Due to its solubility, the rate of dissolution of the active substance may be limited, and this can This can lead to decreased bioavailability. Additionally, avatrombopag maleate is usually included in the formulation in a low dose. Therefore, ensuring homogeneous distribution within the powder mixture is also an important technique. This is a challenge. With active ingredients present in low doses, particles may appear during mixing. Disintegration can occur, leading to serious problems in terms of content uniformity. This can open the mold during tableting due to poor flow properties. Furthermore, the poor flow characteristics of the mixture can cause mold filling issues. This can lead to irregularities and consequently increase the risk of weight fluctuations. Within the scope of this invention, the disadvantages described above can be overcome. for the purpose of using lactose monohydrate as a filler with specific particle properties. It is used, in particular, for lactose with a particle size smaller than 250 µm. The use of monohydrate improves the flow properties of the powder mixture and production. This ensures a more homogeneous filling of the mold during the process. Furthermore, the particle size and surface properties of lactose monohydrate, at low doses Avatrombopag facilitates the adsorption of maleate particles onto the lactose surface. This contributes to a more homogeneous distribution of the active substance within the mixture, and It reduces the risk of decomposition. In this way, substances with low solubility and low dosages can be treated. For avatrombopag maleate, an improved pharmaceutical in terms of manufacturability and content uniformity. The following composition is obtained. 4 As used here, “particle size” refers to the laser diffraction method (i.e., Malvern). as tested by any traditionally accepted method (such as analysis) The term d(0.9) expresses the cumulative volume size distribution of the particles.

It is between 1:10 and 1:5. Due to the relatively low dose of avatrombopag maleate used in the formulation The proportion of the filler is consequently high. Lactose 5% relative to the active ingredient. The amount of monohydrate affects the homogeneity and flow of the mixture during the direct compression process. This can affect its properties and compressibility. Therefore, with lactose monohydrate The ratio between avatrombopag and maleate for tablet production via direct compression. The mixture is selected to ensure appropriate homogeneity and compressibility. Otherwise, Excessively high filler ratios can lead to segregation in the mixture and poor flow properties. This can lead to a decrease in tablet hardness or variability in dissolution profiles. Therefore, the ratio between avatrombopag maleate and lactose monohydrate is within these ranges.
