Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a slowly releasing capsule preparation having low stickiness is swollen state and low adhesivity to the walls of stomach and intestines and giving little stimulation and damage to the organs, by encapsulating a drug- containing content with agar coating film. CONSTITUTION:A content containing an oily substance and a drug, preferably a water-soluble and moderately fat-soluble drug (e.g. dilthiazem, alclofenac and indomethacin) is encapsulated with agar coating film according to the process for the preparation of seamless capsule. Compounding of 10-50wt.%, preferably 10-30wt.% polymeric substance (e.g. cellulose derivative and acrylic copolymers) in the agar coating film strengthens the film strength, improves barrierness of the film against permeation of water and improves the effect as a slowly releasing capsule preparation. The effect of a drug directly action in the stomach can be continued by adjusting the specific gravity of the capsule to <=1.1 and the diameter to >=2mm, thereby allowing the capsule to float in the stomach.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, capsule preparations are formed by coating contents containing a drug substance with a film containing gelatin as a main component. Although gelatin capsules are strong, they are sensitive to acids and easily dissolve in the stomach, allowing the contents to be released all at once.

However, it is desirable for certain drugs to be released gradually in the stomach to maintain their efficacy. The sustained-release preparations necessary for this have been studied by improving the excipients in conventional preparations. Although those using excipients are quite effective,
I still haven't gotten any amount of complete satisfaction.

It was found that agar film, unlike gelatin, behaves like a semipermeable membrane when it swells. Therefore, when the drug is swollen, the drug is gradually released in the stomach due to a semipermeable membrane action in the stomach, exhibiting the characteristics of a sustained-release capsule preparation. Furthermore, even when the agar film swells, it is less sticky than gelatin, so there is less risk of it adhering to the stomach wall, and if the diameter and specific gravity of the capsule are adjusted, there is a possibility that it will float in the stomach.

Capsules are produced using the above-mentioned agar by various conventionally known methods. Agar has less stickiness than gelatin when it swells, so it is difficult to make curve cells with a seam using the traditional method of forming two hemispheres and gluing them together. Therefore, a method for producing seamless capsules, so-called seamless capsules, is optimal. Seamless capsules are generally manufactured using the so-called dripping method, in which the capsule contents and capsule coating material are extruded through a double cylindrical orifice to form spherical droplets in a coagulating liquid. Specific examples of the dropping method are given in Japanese Patent Publication No. 51-8875 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 53-10.
Publication No. 67 and the like can be mentioned.

In addition to agar, the agar film of the capsule may contain a plasticizer, a polymeric substance, and, if desired, a drug. Examples of polymeric substances include natural polymers, such as gelatin, starch and its derivatives (dextrin, starches), gum arabic, sodium alginate, tragacanth, etc. Synthetic polymers, such as cellulose and its derivatives (ethyl cellulose, carboxylic acid) Methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose calcium, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, carboxymethylethylcellulose, crystalline cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate phthalate, hydroxypropylmethylcelluloses, powdered cellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, methylcellulose), polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone,
Examples include polyvinyl acetal diethylaminoacetate, carboxyvinyl polymer, acrylic copolymers (polyacrylic acid, methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer, methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer, etc.), and mixtures thereof. Since polymeric substances have good film-forming properties and high physical strength of the film, they further increase the strength of the agar film and also have excellent barrier properties against water penetration. Therefore, the effect as a sustained release capsule is improved.

(Effects of the Invention) The content of the agar-film capsule is gradually released due to its semipermeable membrane action when it swells. The specific gravity of the capsule is less than 1.1 and the particle size is 2J! If adjusted to 1 or more, it will float in the stomach. When suspended in the stomach, the effects of drugs that act directly in the stomach persist. In particular, sustained absorption can be expected when the absorption site of the drug is limited to the upper small intestine. In addition, since the drug is degraded in the lower small intestine and large intestine, it is expected that the drug will be released sustainably in the upper gastrointestinal tract. The capsule formulation of the present invention has low stickiness when swollen, less adhesion to the stomach or intestinal wall, and less irritation and injury. A complex of hydrophilic substances can also be used in the capsule formulation of the present invention.
