Description

本発明は、糖尿病薬として有用なナテグリニドの経口固形製剤に関する。   The present invention relates to an oral solid preparation of nateglinide useful as a diabetic drug.

ナテグリニド〔化合物名:N−(トランス−4−イソプロピルシクロヘキシルカルボニル)−D−フェニルアラニン〕(特公平4−15221号公報)は食前の経口投与により速やかに血中に吸収され食後の高血糖を改善する(速効短時間型)という優れた作用を示し、糖尿病治療薬として実際に臨床の場で使用されている。
しかし、ナテグリニド原薬そのものは非常に強い苦味を有するため、経口剤として用いる場合、錠剤の表面をコートするなどして苦味を低減させる必要があった。
ところで、医薬品を患者の視点で考えた場合、摂取の容易性が求められている。ナテグリニドは、食後の高血糖を改善するという優れた薬ではあるが、その為に食前の投与が必要であった。しかし、これまでの製剤では投与時、薬剤と同時に水の摂取が必要であり、摂取時に水を必要としないナテグリニド含有製剤が求められていた。
近年経口用の製剤において、服用時に水を必要としない経口用製剤が開発されている。これらの中で、口腔内で薬剤が崩壊しその後消化管において吸収される口腔内(速)崩壊錠と呼ばれる製剤が知られている。
ところが、ナテグリニド原薬は上記の様に非常に強い苦味を有するため、通常の手法で口腔内崩壊錠を製造した場合、服用時に口腔内で苦味を有する為、服用者に不快感を与え実用上問題があった。また、これまでナテグリニドを含有する製剤について幾つか知られているが、上記の課題を解決したものはなかった(特許文献2〜6)。
Nateglinide [compound name: N- (trans-4-isopropylcyclohexylcarbonyl) -D-phenylalanine] (Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-15221) is rapidly absorbed into the blood by oral administration before meals to improve postprandial hyperglycemia. It exhibits an excellent action (fast-acting short-time type) and is actually used in clinical settings as a therapeutic agent for diabetes.
However, since nateglinide drug substance itself has a very strong bitter taste, when used as an oral preparation, it has been necessary to reduce the bitter taste by coating the surface of the tablet.
By the way, when considering a pharmaceutical from a patient's viewpoint, the ease of ingestion is calculated | required. Nateglinide is an excellent drug that improves postprandial hyperglycemia, but for that purpose it must be administered before meals. However, conventional preparations require intake of water at the same time as the drug at the time of administration, and nateglinide-containing preparations that do not require water at the time of intake have been demanded.
In recent years, oral preparations that do not require water at the time of ingestion have been developed. Among these, a preparation called an intraoral (fast) disintegrating tablet is known in which a drug disintegrates in the oral cavity and is then absorbed in the digestive tract.
However, since nateglinide drug substance has a very strong bitter taste as described above, when an orally disintegrating tablet is produced by a normal method, it has a bitter taste in the oral cavity at the time of taking it, and it is uncomfortable for the user. There was a problem. In addition, some preparations containing nateglinide have been known so far, but none of them solved the above problems (Patent Documents 2 to 6).

When the taste evaluation of this powder preparation was carried out in the same manner as the taste evaluation described later, the bitterness was reduced.
Examples 7-12
Nateglinide and the water-soluble polymer shown in Table 2 are dissolved in an organic solvent (ethanol, 50% ethanol water, or dichloromethane / ethanol = 6: 4) so that the solid content is 10% by weight, and a spray dryer Sprayed with (GS310, Yamato Kagaku) to obtain a spray-dried nateglinide-containing powder formulation.

In Table 3, a solution obtained by dissolving nateglinide and the water-soluble polymer shown in Table 3 in an organic solvent (dichloromethane / ethanol = 6: 4) was used in a fluidized bed granulator (FLO-1 type, Freund Sangyo). Were sprayed in the fluidized bed to the powder described in the addition part during granulation to obtain a granulated product. Additives described in the post-addition part were added to the obtained granulated product to obtain a nateglinide-containing powder formulation.
Example 17
Fluidized bed granulator (FLO-1 type) is prepared by spraying an aqueous solution of nateglinide with ethanol onto spherical core particles of crystalline cellulose (Selfia CP507, Asahi Kasei Co., Ltd.). , Freund Sangyo Co., Ltd.) to obtain nateglinide-containing film-coated granules.
Taste evaluation The taste evaluation by sensory evaluation was implemented about the powder formulation obtained in the said Examples 1-17. Evaluation was performed by dissolving a preparation corresponding to 10 mg as nateglinide in the oral cavity. Moreover, evaluation was performed in five steps. Table 5 shows the evaluation criteria, and Tables 2 to 4 show the taste evaluation results.

As can be seen from the sensory evaluation results, the preparation of the present invention provides a nateglinide-containing oral solid preparation with low bitterness.
As can be seen from the sensory evaluation results, the strong bitterness peculiar to nateglinide could be reduced by dispersing nateglinide in the water-soluble polymer.
Example 18
Using a fluidized bed granulator (FLO-1 type, Freund Industries), a solution prepared by dissolving nateglinide and the polymer shown in Table 6 in an organic solvent (dichloromethane / ethanol = 6: 4) was used. It sprayed in the fluidized bed to the powder described in the addition part at the time of granulation, and the granulated material was obtained. Additives described in the post-addition part were added to the resulting granulated product, and a nateglinide-containing orally disintegrating tablet preparation was obtained by low-pressure tableting.
For the orally disintegrating tablets obtained in the above examples, taste evaluation by sensory evaluation (one tablet was dissolved in the oral cavity) and bioequivalence evaluation by vitro evaluation (dissolution test, vs. “Fastic” 90 mg tablet) Carried out. Table 6 shows the evaluation results.

Figure 0005551852
Figure 0005551852

表6から分かるように、ナテグリニド特有の強い苦味が低減されており、かつVitro評価において、溶出性が同等であることが確認された。このことから、ナテグリニドの苦味が低減され、かつ現行ナテグリニド錠剤との生物学的同等性を確保できた口腔内崩壊錠を開発することが出来たことが理解される。   As can be seen from Table 6, it was confirmed that the strong bitterness peculiar to nateglinide was reduced and the dissolution was equivalent in the Vitro evaluation. From this, it is understood that an orally disintegrating tablet in which the bitter taste of nateglinide was reduced and bioequivalence with the current nateglinide tablet was secured could be developed.

比較例1
現在市販されているナテグリニド製剤(「ファスティック」90mg錠)1錠を口腔内で溶解させて、味評価を実施した。評価の結果、苦味が非常に強かったため、途中で錠剤を吐き出した。後味も数時間残る結果となった。
Comparative Example 1
One tablet of nateglinide currently marketed (“Fastic” 90 mg tablet) was dissolved in the oral cavity to evaluate the taste. As a result of the evaluation, since the bitterness was very strong, the tablet was spit out on the way. The aftertaste also remained for several hours.
