Description

本発明は、アレルギー性鼻炎、蕁麻疹等のアレルギー性疾患治療剤として有用なロラタジンを含有する口腔内崩壊錠の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing an orally disintegrating tablet containing loratadine useful as a therapeutic agent for allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and urticaria.

口腔内崩壊錠は、水なしで服用することができ、高齢者、小児、嚥下困難な患者等に、飲みやすい剤形であり、高齢化社会の到来や患者のコンプライアンス向上のため、その意義が重要視されるようになって来た。   Orally disintegrating tablets can be taken without water and are easy to drink for elderly people, children, patients with difficulty swallowing, etc., and their significance is due to the arrival of an aging society and improved patient compliance. It has come to be regarded as important.

従来、ロラタジン含有口腔内崩壊錠としては、ゼラチン等の担体物質の水溶液に薬物を懸濁させ、トレイ等の容器に充填した後、凍結乾燥させて得られる、いわゆるザイディス(Zydis)技術(特許文献1参照)を用いて製造されたクラリチンレディタブ錠が市販されている。しかし、このザイディス技術を商業的に応用するには、特殊な製造設備を要し、製造工程が煩雑で費用がかかるという欠点がある。また、ザイディス型の口腔内崩壊錠は、口腔内での溶解性については極めて優れているものの、錠剤が非常に柔らかく吸湿しやすいために完全防湿性の頑丈な包装形態が必須であることから、自動分包機への適用が不可能なだけでなく、容器から錠剤を取り出す際に壊れたり欠けたりしがちなど、医療現場では使い勝手が悪い。そのため、通常の製造設備により製造可能でかつ医療現場での取扱いが容易なロラタジン含有口腔内崩壊錠の開発が求められている。   Conventionally, as a loratadine-containing orally disintegrating tablet, a so-called Zydis technique obtained by suspending a drug in an aqueous solution of a carrier substance such as gelatin, filling a container such as a tray and then freeze-drying (Patent Document) 1) is commercially available. However, in order to apply this Zaydis technology commercially, special manufacturing equipment is required, and the manufacturing process is complicated and expensive. In addition, Zydis type orally disintegrating tablets are extremely excellent in solubility in the oral cavity, but since tablets are very soft and easy to absorb moisture, a completely moisture-proof and sturdy packaging form is essential. Not only is it impossible to apply it to an automatic packaging machine, but it tends to be broken or chipped when taking out tablets from a container. Therefore, development of a loratadine-containing orally disintegrating tablet that can be produced by ordinary production equipment and can be easily handled in the medical field is demanded.

一般的な錠剤製造用設備および製造方法によって製造しうるロラタジン含有口腔内崩壊錠としては、例えば、ロラタジン粉末に、造粒マンニトール、結晶セルロース、クロスポビドン等を混合、打錠して得られる口腔内崩壊錠(特許文献2参照)、ロラタジン粉末に、コロイド状二酸化ケイ素等を混合後、造粒し、マンニトール等を更に混合後、打錠して得られる口腔内崩壊錠(特許文献3参照)、ロラタジン粉末に、マンニトール、ソルビトール、及びケイ酸カルシウムを混合して複合材とし、更に、デンプン、クロスカルメロースナトリウム、ケイ酸カルシウム等を混合後、打錠して得られる口腔内崩壊錠(特許文献4参照)が提案されている。しかし、これらのロラタジン含有口腔内崩壊錠には、いずれも、ロラタジンの溶出性(即ち薬物放出性)が不十分であるという欠点がある。   As a loratadine-containing orally disintegrating tablet that can be produced by a general tablet production facility and production method, for example, the oral cavity obtained by mixing granulated mannitol, crystalline cellulose, crospovidone, and the like with loratadine powder and tableting Disintegrating tablets (see Patent Document 2), colloidal silicon dioxide and the like mixed with loratadine powder, granulated, further mixed with mannitol and the like, and then orally disintegrating tablets obtained by tableting (see Patent Document 3), Oral disintegrating tablets obtained by mixing loratadine powder with mannitol, sorbitol, and calcium silicate to form a composite material, and further mixing starch, croscarmellose sodium, calcium silicate, etc. (Patent Document) 4) has been proposed. However, all of these loratadine-containing orally disintegrating tablets have a drawback that the dissolution property (that is, drug release property) of loratadine is insufficient.

第1造粒工程
本発明のロラタジン含有口腔内崩壊錠の製造方法においては、先ず、第1造粒工程として、ロラタジンと、結合剤、賦形剤、崩壊剤等の少なくとも1種の添加剤とを、造粒する。ここで、ロラタジンは、溶液状態乃至は懸濁状態で用いることが必須である。ロラタジンは、溶液状態、懸濁状態、及び一部溶液状態で残部懸濁状態(外観上は懸濁状態)のいずれであってもよい。ロラタジンを、粉末等の固形状態で用いた場合には、薬物放出性が大きく低下する。通常、ロラタジンは、エタノール溶液乃至はエタノール懸濁液として用いることが、好ましい。エタノールの使用量は、ロラタジンが溶液状態乃至は懸濁状態となる量であればよく、適宜、決定することができる。また、結合剤は、水溶液等の溶液状態で用いることが、このことにより、薬物放出性が向上する傾向にある点から、好ましい。
First granulation step In the method for producing a loratadine-containing orally disintegrating tablet of the present invention, first, as the first granulation step, loratadine and at least one additive such as a binder, an excipient, and a disintegrant are added. Granulate. Here, it is essential to use loratadine in a solution state or a suspension state. Loratadine may be in a solution state, a suspension state, or a partial solution state and a remaining suspension state (in a suspended state in appearance). When loratadine is used in a solid state such as a powder, drug releasability is greatly reduced. Usually, loratadine is preferably used as an ethanol solution or ethanol suspension. The amount of ethanol used may be determined as appropriate as long as loratadine is in a solution state or a suspension state. In addition, it is preferable to use the binder in a solution state such as an aqueous solution because this tends to improve the drug release property.

第1造粒工程は、流動層造粒、撹拌造粒等により行うことができるが、特に、流動層造粒により、造粒を行うのが好ましい。第1造粒工程は、例えば、流動層造粒装置を用いて、ロラタジンのエタノール溶液と結合剤及び添加物の一部を含む水溶液との混合液を、粉末状の賦形剤等にスプレーしながら、混合し、造粒することが好ましい。流動層造粒の温度条件、スプレー速度等は、適宜決定すればよい。流動層造粒装置としては、「MP−1」(パウレック社製)、「FLO−5」(フロイント社製)等の市販品を用いることができる。   The first granulation step can be performed by fluidized bed granulation, stirring granulation or the like, but it is particularly preferable to perform granulation by fluidized bed granulation. In the first granulation step, for example, using a fluidized bed granulator, a mixed liquid of an ethanol solution of loratadine and an aqueous solution containing a part of the binder and additives is sprayed on a powdery excipient or the like. However, it is preferable to mix and granulate. What is necessary is just to determine suitably the temperature conditions, spray speed, etc. of fluid bed granulation. As the fluidized bed granulator, commercially available products such as “MP-1” (manufactured by POWREC) and “FLO-5” (manufactured by Freund) can be used.

第1造粒工程で得られた造粒物は、乾燥後、整粒機を用いて整粒するのが好ましい。整粒に使用する装置としては、特に制限はないが、例えば、「パワーミル」(不二パウダル(株)製)、「コーミル」(パウレック社製)、「ロールグラニュレーター」(日本グラニュレーター(株)製)等の整粒機が挙げられる。また、篩などを使用して整粒してもよい。   The granulated product obtained in the first granulation step is preferably sized using a sizing machine after drying. There are no particular restrictions on the apparatus used for sizing, but for example, “Power Mill” (produced by Fuji Paudal Co., Ltd.), “Komil” (produced by Powrec), “Roll Granulator” (Nippon Granulator Co., Ltd.) )) And the like. Moreover, you may size-size using a sieve etc.

第2造粒工程
次に、第2造粒工程において、第1造粒工程において得られた造粒物を、賦形剤、結合剤、崩壊剤、矯味剤等の少なくとも1種の添加剤と共に、更に造粒する。また、第1造粒工程の造粒物の使用量は、最終的に得られる錠剤重量の50重量%以程度となるように調節することが必要である。第1造粒工程の造粒物が錠剤重量の50重量%を超えるとロラタジンの錠剤からの放出性が低下するので好ましくない。第1造粒工程の造粒物の使用量は、錠剤重量の30〜45重量%程度となるように調節するのが好ましい。
Second granulation step Next, in the second granulation step, the granulated product obtained in the first granulation step is combined with at least one additive such as an excipient, a binder, a disintegrant, and a corrigent. Then granulate further. Moreover, it is necessary to adjust the usage-amount of the granulated material of a 1st granulation process so that it may become about 50 weight% or more of the tablet weight finally obtained. If the granulated product in the first granulation step exceeds 50% by weight of the tablet weight, it is not preferable because the release of loratadine from the tablet decreases. The amount of the granulated product used in the first granulation step is preferably adjusted to be about 30 to 45% by weight of the tablet weight.

第2造粒工程は、流動層造粒、撹拌造粒等により行うことができるが、特に、流動層造粒により、造粒を行うのが製造効率の向上の点から好ましい。第2造粒工程は、例えば、流動層造粒装置を用いて、結合剤と添加剤の一部を含む水溶液との混合液を、第1造粒工程の造粒物と賦形剤等の添加剤との粉末状混合物にスプレーしながら、混合し、造粒することが好ましい。流動層造粒の温度条件、スプレー速度等や、流動層造粒装置は、第1造粒工程の場合と同様に、適宜決定することができる。   The second granulation step can be performed by fluidized bed granulation, stirring granulation, or the like. In particular, it is preferable to perform granulation by fluidized bed granulation from the viewpoint of improving production efficiency. In the second granulation step, for example, using a fluidized bed granulator, a mixed solution of a binder and an aqueous solution containing a part of the additive is used as a granulated product and an excipient in the first granulation step. It is preferable to mix and granulate while spraying the powder mixture with the additive. The temperature conditions of the fluidized bed granulation, the spray speed, etc., and the fluidized bed granulator can be appropriately determined as in the case of the first granulating step.

第2造粒工程で得られた造粒物は、乾燥後、整粒機を用いて整粒することが好ましい。整粒に使用する装置等は、第1造粒工程の場合と同様でよく、又篩により整粒してもよい。   The granulated product obtained in the second granulation step is preferably sized using a granulator after drying. The apparatus used for sizing may be the same as in the first granulation step, or may be sized by a sieve.

本発明のロラタジン口腔内崩壊錠の製造方法では、第1造粒工程及び第2造粒工程の2段階の造粒工程を行うことを必須とし、1段階の造粒のみでは錠剤からのロラタジンの放出性の向上は殆ど認められない。   In the production method of the loratadine orally disintegrating tablet of the present invention, it is essential to perform the two-stage granulation process of the first granulation process and the second granulation process, and the loratadine from the tablet can be obtained only by one-stage granulation. There is almost no improvement in release.

第3造粒工程等
本発明のロラタジン口腔内崩壊錠の製造方法では、第1造粒工程及び第2造粒工程の2段の造粒工程に加えて、更に必要に応じて、3段階目以上の造粒工程を行ってもよい。第3造粒工程及びそれ以降の造粒工程は、第2造粒工程と同様に、通常、添加剤を用いて、流動層造粒、撹拌造粒等により行うことができるが、特に、流動層造粒により、造粒を行うのが製造効率の向上の点から好ましい。

表1及び表2から明らかなように、各実施例の錠剤は、比較例1(造粒回数1回)及び比較例2〔(ア)/(イ)が0.5を超える〕の錠剤と比較して、ロラタジンの溶出性に優れる。即ち、ロラタジン及び結合剤(ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース)をそれぞれ溶液として使用し、また2段階の造粒工程を実施し、且つ1段階目の造粒工程が錠剤重量の50重量%以下である錠剤ではロラタジンの溶出性が顕著に高められた。   As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the tablets of each Example were the tablets of Comparative Example 1 (number of granulation times 1) and Comparative Example 2 [(A) / (I) exceeds 0.5]. In comparison, the dissolution of loratadine is excellent. That is, loratadine and a binder (hydroxypropylcellulose) are each used as a solution, a two-step granulation process is performed, and a loratadine is used in a tablet in which the first-stage granulation process is 50% by weight or less of the tablet weight. Was significantly improved.

また、ロラタジン及び結合剤(ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース)をともに粉末状態で添加した場合(比較例4)の溶出率は、30分で実質的に許容可能な下限の85%を満たさず、又結合剤(ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース)のみを溶液状態で添加した場合(比較例3)においても溶出率の上昇は30分で90%程度に留まり、不十分であった。一方、ロラタジンと結合剤(ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース)をともに溶液状態で添加した実施例1〜7の溶出性は非常に速やかであり、15分間の溶出率は92.5%以上、30分間の溶出率は97.6%以上と非常に高い値であった。また、ロラタジンを溶液状態で添加し、結合剤(ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース)を粉末状態で添加した場合(実施例8)の溶出率は、15分で90.7%と若干低いものの、30分で96.7%であり、実用上十分な溶出率を示した。   In addition, when both loratadine and a binder (hydroxypropylcellulose) were added in a powder state (Comparative Example 4), the dissolution rate did not satisfy 85% of the lower limit substantially acceptable in 30 minutes, and the binder ( Even when only hydroxypropylcellulose) was added in the solution state (Comparative Example 3), the increase in elution rate was only about 90% in 30 minutes, which was insufficient. On the other hand, the dissolution properties of Examples 1 to 7 in which both loratadine and a binder (hydroxypropylcellulose) were added in a solution state were very rapid. The dissolution rate for 15 minutes was 92.5% or more, and the dissolution rate for 30 minutes. Was a very high value of 97.6% or more. Further, when loratadine was added in a solution state and a binder (hydroxypropylcellulose) was added in a powder state (Example 8), the elution rate was slightly low at 90.7% in 15 minutes, but 96 in 30 minutes. 0.7%, indicating a practically sufficient elution rate.
