High-thermal-stability enteric DHA microcapsule powder, and preparation method and application thereof

PendingCN122350330AFiberGastric reflux
This invention provides a highly thermally stable enteric-coated DHA microcapsule powder, its preparation method, and its applications. The microcapsule powder utilizes a composite wall material system with a specific ratio of raw materials: carbohydrate film-forming materials, protein film-forming materials, hydrophilic colloids, and dietary fiber materials. The resulting dense wall material not only maintains a supportive interface and film-forming structure under hot water reconstitution conditions, exhibiting high-temperature reconstitution stability, but also features an acid-resistant design, ensuring resistance to acid in aqueous solutions and reducing the nausea / gastric reflux after oral administration of the microcapsule powder. This achieves a balance between high-temperature and acid resistance, overcoming the problems of dispersion and nausea / gastric reflux associated with traditional DHA microcapsules. Furthermore, the microcapsules of this invention, through a synergistic system of "lipid-soluble antioxidants + aqueous antioxidants / reducing agents," reduce accelerated oxidation and off-flavor release during high-temperature reconstitution, thereby improving flavor acceptability.

Novel kit of pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases

The invention relates to the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson patients with motor complications in need of Continuous Dopaminergic Stimulation. According to the invention a kit of pharmaceutical preparations is provided comprising levodopa and an AADC-inhibitor. Levodopa is applied via continuous subcutaneous infusion or by an oral modified release formulation and Continuous Dopaminergic Stimulation is achieved by almost complete inhibition of the peripheral levodopa metabolism. To reach far-going blockage of levodopa metabolism, an AADC-inhibitor (e.g., benserazide, carbidopa) is given orally in a much higher than normal dose and, as an indispensable prerequisite, the AADC-inhibitor has to be applied evenly distributed over the day. e.g., via a Modified Release formulation. In order to prevent levodopa conjugation over the COMT pathway, an oral COMT-inhibitor (e.g., opicapone) is also added. In addition, a drug-drug-interaction between the AADC-inhibitor and opicapone further increasing the activity of the former is likely to occur. The resulting effective inhibition of peripheral levodopa metabolism allows a marked reduction of the necessary (equivalent) levodopa (or prodrug) doses to 300-600 mg / day, which is, however, sufficient to reach high levodopa plasma levels of 1500 to 3000 ng / ml. The low daily levodopa dose is infused subcutaneously via minipump and is well-tolerated at the infusion site. Alternatively, the low daily levodopa dose is provided as an oral modified release formulation. The high steady-state levodopa plasma levels reached, allow effective Continuous Dopaminergic Stimulation-therapy for Parkinson's disease patients of any degree of severity. As additional benefit, the largely complete AADC-inhibition prevents the peripheral generation of dopamine and the cumbersome dopaminergic adverse effects (e.g., nausea, cardiovascular and gastro-intestinal adverse effects) are prevented.
