Description [0001] The invention relates to a solid pharmaceutical preparation comprising levothyroxine sodium, gelatine, citric acid and a filler. The solid pharmaceutical preparation has an improved stability.
[0002] Levothyroxine sodium is used to treat thyroid hormone deficiency, and occasionally to prevent the recurrence of thyroid cancer. In treatment of thyroid hormone deficiency very low daily doses of levothyroxine sodium are used in the range from 25 to 30C^g. Due to its high potency it is very important to avoid dosage variations as this may cause serious symptoms of hypothyroidism such as as severe depression, fatigue, weight gain, constipation, cold intolerance, swelling, and difficulty concentrating, if levothyroxine sodium is underdosed, or of hypothyroidism, such as pain, heart palpitations, or cardiac arrhythmias, if levothyroxine sodium dosis is too high. Therefore, storage stability of pharmaceutical preparations containing levothyroxine sodium is a critical issue.
[0003] DE 195 41 128 teaches to stabilize thyroxine preparations by addition of sodium thiosulfate. However, the use of substances like sodium thiosulfate in pharmaceutical preparations is undesirable from the toxicological point of view. [0004] WO 2004/096177 A1 teaches to stabilize pharmaceutical preparations containing levothyroxine sodium by providing them with a water activity below 0.4. Disadvantageously the water activity of the formulations varies with the change of relative humidity during shelf life so that additional measures have to be taken such as moisture-tight packs, which result in additional costs and waste management problems.
[0005] Patel et al. examined the effect of various pH modifying additives on the stability of levothyroxine sodium tablets (Patel H. et al: The effect of excipients on stability of levothyroxine sodium pentahydrate tablets, Int J Pharm 264 (2003) 35-43). It was found that the basic pH modifying additives sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide lead to improvement of the stability of levothyroxine sodium tablets whereas acid pH modifying additives tartaric acid and citric acid lead to impairment of stability.
[0006] WO 99/59551 A1 teaches that storage stability of levothyroxine sodium containing solid pharmaceutical preparations can be improved by using gelatine as a binder. As described in the introduction such stabilized formulation has been developed in order to meet the increased requirements on stability as established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996. According to such FDA requirements levothyroxine sodium degradation in tablets throughout their shelf life has been fixed to 10% at the most.
[0007] In 2007 the FDA has raised its requirements on stability of levothyroxine sodium containing products to further diminish the risk caused this. In fact the limit of levothyroxine sodium degradation in tablets was lowered from 10 to 5% (FDA press release from 3 Oct 2007).
[0008] There is an ongoing demand for pharmaceutical preparations having an improved stability. The pharmaceutical preparations should ensure release of active compound in accordance with the requirements, should not comprise any toxicologically unacceptable adjuvants and should be capable of storage in a stable manner over an extended time. [0009] Surprisingly, it has been found that a solid pharmaceutical preparation which meets these requirements and has an improved storage stability can be provided if it comprises besides levothyroxine sodium, gelatine, citric acid and a filler. Therefore, when an object of the present invention is directed to a solid pharmaceutical preparation comprising levothyroxine sodium, gelatine, citric acid and a filler.
[0010] The improved stability of a solid pharmaceutical preparation is especially surprising in view of that the prior art teaching of Patel et al. (as cited above) according to which the addition of citric acid leads not only to no improvement but even to a deterioration of levothyroxine sodium in tablets.
[0011] US 6,649,186 B1 disclose effervescent granules which are prepared by hot melt extruding which may contain levothyroxine sodium. Such effervescent granules contain an acid component such as citric acid together with a basic component such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate which upon contact with water react under carbon dioxide development. The pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention is preferably not an effervescent preparation. Therefore, a further object of the present invention is directed to a solid pharmaceutical preparation, which is characterized in that it is not an effervescent preparation.
[0012] US 5,753,254 A discloses a solid fast dispersing dosage form containing thyroid hormone which may also comprise citric acid to induce the formation of saliva. Solid fast dispersing dosage forms are oral administration forms which disintegrate readily and quickly in the mouth within seconds upon contact with saliva when taken orally. The pharmaceutical preparation of the present invention is preferably not a solid fast dispersing dosage form.
[0013] Therefore, a further object of the invention is directed to a solid pharmaceutical preparation, which is characterized in that it is not a solid fast dispersing dosage form.

[0040] Granules are produced by granulation, which can basically be carried out by the moist or dry route. In the case of moist granulation, for example, a granulation liquid, which preferably comprises a binder, is added to a powder mixture comprising the active compound together with the sugar alcohol and any further suitable adjuvants, the mixture is converted into aggregates of suitable size (granules) and subsequently dried. The active compound can also be introduced into the granules by suspension in the granulation liquid. The conversion of the powder mixture into aggregates of suitable size can be carried out, for example, by so-called build-up granulation, for example in coating pans, by means of plate granulation or in fluidised-bed methods, for example by the Glatt or Wurster method, or by so-called reduction granulation, in which the powder mixture is firstly moistened and converted into a plastically mouldable mass and subsequently converted into aggregates of the desired size, for example by extrusion through a screen having meshes of suitable size. In the case of dry granulation, the powder mixture is pressed, for example, by means of compaction between two counter-rotating compaction rolls to give flakes, which are subsequently comminuted to give granules.
[0041] Pellets can be produced by granulation and subsequent rounding-off (spheronisation), for example by means of plate granulation, or alternatively by pressing powders or granules to give microtablets.
[0042] The preparation according to the invention in the form of tablets can be produced by pressing powder mixtures (direct compression) or by pressing granules. In the simplest case of direct compression, the active compound is firstly mixed with the excipients and the resultant powder mixture is pressed directly to give the solid preparation according to the invention.
[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the solid pharmaceutical preparation is prepared by a process, which is characterized in that (a) levothyroxine sodium and optionally liothyronine sodium is/are suspended in an aqueous gelatine solution, (b) the suspension obtained by step (a) is sprayed onto the filler in a fluidized bed granulation and dried to form granules, (c) the granules obtained by step (b) are collected and optionally, (d) a disintegrant and optionally a lubricant is/are mixed with the granules obtained by step (c), and (e) the mixture obtained by step (d) is compressed to give tablets.
[0044] Accordingly, one object of the present invention is further directed to a process for the production of a solid pharmaceutical preparation, which is characterized in that (a) levothyroxine sodium and optionally liothyronine sodium is/are suspended in an aqueous gelatine solution, (b) the suspension obtained by step (a) is sprayed onto the filler in a fluidized bed granulation and dried to form granules, (c) the granules obtained by step (b) are collected and optionally, (d) a disintegrant and optionally a lubricant is/are mixed with the granules obtained by step (c), and (e) the mixture obtained by step (d) is compressed to give tablets.
[0045] The granules obtained by performing the steps (a) to (c) can be directly used as a medicament form without performing the optional steps (d) and (e). Ifthe granules are used they can be provided as portioned granules or introduced into capsules to ensure adequate dosage accuracy as described above.
[0046] According to a further appropriate embodiment of the invention the solid pharmaceutical preparation is prepared by a process, which is characterized in that citric acid and, if present, the antioxidant is dissolved in in the aqueous gelatine solution used in step (a) or is admixed with the granules in step (d). Therefore, a further object of the invention is directed to a process for the production of a solid pharmaceutical preparation, which is characterized in that citric acid and, if present, the antioxidant is dissolved in the aqueous gelatine solution used in step (a) or is admixed with the granules in step (d).
[0047] According to an appropriate embodiment of the invention the granules or the tablets are provided with a coating. Therefore, a further object of the invention is directed to a process for the production of a solid pharmaceutical preparation, which is characterized in that the granules or the tablets are provided with a coating.
[0048] Suitable coatings are film-forming polymers, such as, for example, those from the group of the cellulose derivatives, dextrins, starches, natural gums, such as, for example, gum arabic, xanthans, alginates, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethacrylates and derivatives thereof, such as, for example, eudragites, which may be applied to the tablet as solutions or suspensions by means of the various pharmaceutical conventional methods, such as, for example, film coating. Use is usually made here of solutions/suspensions which, besides the film-forming polymer, also comprise further adjuvants, such as hydrophilisers, plasticisers, surfactants, dyes and white pigments, such as, for example, titanium dioxide.
[0049] The examples illustrate the invention without being restricted thereto.

Comparison Example 2 [0078] Tablet (batch 014698) comprising 0.105 mg of levothyroxine sodium 70.395 mg of mannitol 20.00 mg of maize starch 3.50 mg of crosscarmellose sodium 5.00 mg of gelatine 0.50 mg of magnesium stearate [0079] The tablets are produced analogous to Example 1.
Comparison Example 3 [0080] Tablet (batch 014842) comprising 0.105 mg of levothyroxine sodium 70.295 mg of mannitol 20.00 mg of maize starch 3.50 mg of crosscarmellose sodium 5.00 mg of gelatine 0.10 mg of butylated hydroxytoluene 1.00 mg of magnesium stearate [0081] The tablets are produced analogous to Example 1. Butylated hydroxytoluene was admixed as described in Example 3.
Stability testing [0082] To assess the influence of the ingredients, especially citric acid and/or antioxidant on storage stability the pharmaceutical preparations of Examples 1 to 4 and the Comparison Examples 1 and 2 were transferred into glass bottles without closure and stored under elevated temperature and humidity (60 degree Celsius and 75% relative humidity (r.h.)). Storage times and the amounts of active compound measured in each case are shown in Table 1.
Table 1
(continued)
[0083] As demonstrated by the data in table 1 the presence of citric acid leads to an improvement of stability which is further improved by the antioxidant. As no improvement of stability is obtained if the antioxidant is present without citric acid the antioxidant exhibits an antioxidant unexpectedly exhibits a synergistic stabilization effect in combination with citric acid.
[0084] The pharmaceutical preparations of Examples 3 and 4 and Comparison Examples were transferred into HDPE bottles, closed and stored at40°C and 75% r.h. Storage times and the amounts of active compound measured in each case are shown in Table 2.
Table 2
[0085] As apparent from table 2 the presence of an antioxidant does not exhibit a significant stabilisation effect without the presence of citric acid. Further and surprisingly the combination of citric acid with the antioxidant leads to such a good stabilization effect that after half year storage at elevated temperature and humidity (40°C and 75% r.h.) the content of levothyroxine sodium in the preparation decreased only 0.1 % by weight.
Analytical test methods: [0086] Identity, purity and assay of the solid pharmaceutical preparation comprising levothyroxine sodium are tested by high-performance liquid chromatography or ultra high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection using an reversed phase column and a gradient system after preparation and during the stability studies. The extraction medium and mobile phase used are mixtures of acetonitrile, water and phosphoric acid.
