Fifthly, packaging
The invention mainly achieves the technical effects that:
in the development of the valsartan orally disintegrating film, for film forming materials, a single film forming material, such as pullulan, polyvinyl alcohol, povidone, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and the like, or a combination of several other film forming materials except the combination of pullulan and polyvinyl alcohol, is difficult to be used as a suitable material of the valsartan orally disintegrating film, and inevitable defects are as follows: 1. the film forming property is poor, and the film is easy to break after being dried; 2. the tackiness is too strong, resulting in adhesive tearing during peeling of the package; 3. the stability of the solution is poor, the main drug component valsartan is settled in the long-time standing process, and especially in the longer process of coating, the content uniformity can not meet the requirement directly; 4. slow disintegration and dissolution and slow effect.
The invention surprisingly finds through a great deal of experiments that the combined formula of the pullulan and the polyvinyl alcohol is used as a film forming material of the valsartan, solves all the problems, particularly has a very obvious improvement effect on the sedimentation problem of the main drug component of the valsartan, contributes to improving the stability of the solution, adopts coating and drying as a step with the longest time in the whole process flow, comprises a complete and continuous process of coating and drying, particularly has longer time consumption in industrial production, and has the advantages that in order to ensure the uniform content of the solution, the solution must be fully and uniformly mixed and degassed before being conveyed to a coating blade, and any vibration or stirring in the coating process can bring air bubbles to influence the uniform integrity of the coated film material, so that a very high requirement is provided for the long-term standing stability of the solution. The film material prescription adopted by the invention improves the stability of the solution, and then the content uniformity of the preparation is greatly improved, the requirement on time is relaxed, and the preparation has obvious practical significance for industrial production application. Meanwhile, the valsartan orally disintegrating film has the unexpected technical effects that the film forming material combination provided by the invention can be used for preparing the valsartan orally disintegrating film which is fast in disintegration and dissolution, fast in drug dissolution, high in dissolution rate and fast in effect.
In the invention, the valsartan raw material and the film forming auxiliary material are mixed and homogenized in a solution state, so that the medicament is dispersed in the film forming material in a molecular state or an extremely fine crystal state, the absorption by a human body is facilitated, the medicament effect is quickly exerted, the bioavailability is improved, the side effect is reduced, and the valsartan oral liquid is safe and reliable. The oral disintegrating film agent can be taken sublingually or buccally under anhydrous condition, is convenient to carry and take, and provides a new medicine selection for dysphagia patients. After the valsartan oral disintegrating film is orally taken, the film is rapidly melted after being contacted with saliva, and the medicament can be directly absorbed through oral mucosa and directly enters a circulatory system without passing through gastrointestinal tracts and liver, so that the first-pass effect of liver is avoided, the effect is rapidly achieved, the bioavailability is improved, and the side effect is reduced.
The valsartan orally disintegrating film has good drug stability and is convenient to carry and take. After the preparation is finished, the preparation can be packaged by an aluminum bag, external air and water vapor are completely blocked, the preparation is not easy to oxidize, the water content of the preparation is strictly controlled after a drying process, the medicine is not easy to hydrolyze, the stability of the medicine is improved, and the quality of the medicine is ensured.

According to the experimental results, the pullulan disintegrating effect is the best when the film forming material is singly used for preparation, but the solution stability of the pullulan as the film forming material cannot meet the preparation requirement of the film agent, and the combination of the pullulan and the polyvinyl alcohol as the film forming material of the valsartan oral disintegrating film has the advantages of fast film agent disintegration and dissolution, good solution stability, film agent preparation and preparation requirements and unexpected effect.
Test example 2: reference formulation dissolution curve comparative test
In vitro dissolution comparison experiments were performed on the present invention (sample prepared in example 1) and the original research reference formulation (DIOVAN, Beijing Nowa pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). Release profile measurements were performed on 3 batches of the valsartan orally disintegrating film and the reference formulation continuously prepared in example 1 under the conditions of a ph1.2 hydrochloric acid solution, a ph4.0 acetate buffer, a ph6.8 phosphate buffer and water, respectively. The results are shown in FIGS. 2-5, where the upper curve in FIGS. 2-5 is the oro-dissolution membrane of example 1 and the lower curve is the reference formulation. The result shows that the valsartan orally disintegrating film of the invention is dissolved more rapidly in four mediums compared with the original preparation, can achieve Cmax in a shorter time in vivo and has quicker effect.
Test example 3: reference formulation disintegration comparative test
Disintegration time-limit comparison experiments were carried out on the invention (samples prepared in examples 1 and 2) with the original research reference formulation (DIOVAN, Beijing Nowa pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.). The disintegration experiment device adopts a lifting disintegration tester, and has the main structure that a lifting metal support and a hanging basket with a screen embedded at the lower end are provided with baffles. The up-down moving distance of the lifting metal support is 55mm +/-2 mm, and the reciprocating frequency is 30-32 times per minute. During the experiment, 6 parts of each sample are respectively placed in a hanging basket glass tube, a transparent baffle is placed according to the requirement, a disintegration tester is started to check, the disintegration phenomenon is observed, and the disintegration time is recorded. The results are shown in the table below, and it can be seen that the orally disintegrating film disintegrates much faster than the capsule, and that the rapid disintegration is advantageous for the improvement of the dissolution rate.
Test example 4: oral absorption test
To confirm that the valsartan orally disintegrating film of the present invention was also absorbed by the human body in the oral cavity, 10 healthy adults, 5 men and 5 women were selected, and orally administered an orally disintegrating film containing 40mg of valsartan (sample prepared in example 1). After swallowing is not carried out within 1 minute, the residues in the mouth are completely spit out by rinsing with water, collected in a unified container, and the content of the valsartan in the container is measured, and the result shows that only about 70-78% of the total amount of the taken medicine can be recovered, which means that 22-30% of the taken medicine is absorbed by oral mucosa. The data are shown in the following table.
