Description

A composition of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of pharmaceutical preparations, and in particular to a composition of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Acute pain is one of the common clinical symptoms. It is a physiological response and experience to harmful stimuli, usually with sudden onset, including postoperative pain, acute back pain, renal colic, musculoskeletal pain and pain related to other diseases. The duration of pain generally does not exceed 7 days. For example, postoperative pain usually lasts for 3-7 days. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) achieve antipyretic and analgesic effects by inhibiting cyclooxygenase and reducing the production of prostaglandins. They are commonly used clinically to control and relieve acute pain. However, existing NSAIDs drugs usually have a slow onset of action in oral preparations, while the duration of action of injections is generally several hours (less than 1 day). It is difficult for a single dose to meet the long-term analgesic requirements, and frequent administration is required. There are problems such as poor drug management and patient compliance.

[0003] Given the sudden onset and duration of acute pain, it is necessary to develop a long-acting injection of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that can take effect quickly and maintain blood drug concentrations for a long time.

[0004] The following nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or their salts can be prepared into long-acting injections: celecoxib, parecoxib, etoricoxib, meloxicam, ketorolac tromethamine, flurbiprofen axetil, lornoxicam or ibuprofen.

[0005] Celecoxib (English name celecoxib), chemical name is 4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1-hydrogen-1-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide, and its chemical structure is shown in formula (A):

[0006] The chemical name of celecoxib propionyl sodium is N-[[4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1-hydrogen-1-pyrazol-1-yl]phenyl)sulfonyl)-sodium salt, and the chemical structure is shown in formula (B):

[0007] Parecoxib (English name: Parecoxib), chemical name: N-[[4-(5-methyl-3-phenyl-4-isoxazolyl)phenyl]sulfonyl]propionamide, chemical structure is shown in formula (C): Summary of the Invention

[0008] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0009] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an injection whose active ingredient is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. The injection can be administered once a day or longer, can take effect quickly and maintain effective blood drug concentration for a long time. Compared with oral administration, it can improve bioavailability, reduce the number of doses, avoid peak-to-valley fluctuations, and thus improve patient treatment compliance and safety.

[0010] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an injection comprising a combination of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a salt thereof as an active ingredient. The injection can be administered once daily or longer, exhibiting rapid onset of action and sustained effective blood drug concentrations over a long period of time. The weight ratio of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug to its salt in the formulation significantly influences the onset of action and the duration of steady-state blood drug concentration.

[0011] The injection provided by the present invention has a high concentration of active ingredients, a high drug loading, and a controllable particle size. It can obtain a higher dosage within a limited injection volume, and achieve a long-lasting drug release effect by controlling the particle size distribution. It is well known to those skilled in the art that the more types of excipients added to the injection, the greater the risk introduced. The injection provided by the present invention has a simple prescription and only requires the addition of fewer types of excipients, which can reduce the risks brought by the excipients. The injection provided by the present invention is a ready-to-use injection and can be used directly. The injection provided by the present invention has good storage stability.

[0012] The third aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing the injection, which is simple and easy to implement, has good stability, high safety, and is suitable for industrial production.

[0013] The fourth aspect of the present invention provides use of the injection in preparing a drug for treating acute pain or postoperative analgesia.

[0116] Example general method:

[0117] 1. Particle size determination method for active ingredients in injections

[0118] Instrument: Malvern Laser Particle Size Analyzer, Model: MS3000

[0119] Procedure: Rinse the dispersion unit twice with purified water, then add approximately 100 mL of purified water to the dispersion unit and slowly adjust the speed to 2000 rpm. Set the instrument parameters to a dispersant refractive index of 1.33. Click "Start" to measure the background. After the instrument has measured the background, add the sample to a light-blocking value of 10%-20%. Allow it to stabilize for approximately 10 seconds before testing the sample. If the light-blocking value does not meet the requirements, drain the sample and retest. Measure each sample in triplicate and take the average value.

Formulation 6-4 formed a paste when ball milled to a smaller particle size.
