Description
NOUVELLES COMPOSITIONS CONTENANT DE LA CIMETIDINE ET ASSOCIATIONS EN DÉRIVANT NOVEL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING CIMETIDINE AND DERIVATIVE ASSOCIATIONS THEREOF
La présente invention a pour objet de nouvelles compositions contenant de la cimetidine, et en particulier de nouvelles compositions à libération prolongée de cimetidine. La présente invention a aussi pour objet une association de deux compositions de cimetidine, l'une à libération immédiate et l'autre à libération prolongée. La cimetidine est un antagoniste des récepteurs H2 à l'histamme qui inhibe la sécrétion d'acide gastrique stimulée par l'histamme et réduit le débit total de pepsine.The subject of the present invention is new compositions containing cimetidine, and in particular new compositions for sustained release of cimetidine. The present invention also relates to a combination of two cimetidine compositions, one with immediate release and the other with sustained release. Cimetidine is a histamine H2 receptor antagonist that inhibits the secretion of gastric acid stimulated by the histamine and reduces the total flow of pepsin.
Jusqu'à présent, la cimetidine était formulée sous une forme à libération immédiate. Une étude réalisée par M.J. Ostro et al., Gastroentenology, 1985, 89, 532 montre que la concentration de principe actif présent dans le sang pendant une période prolongée permet un contrôle de l'acidité gastrique qui est meilleur que celui obtenu par administration de cimetidine à différents intervalles.Until now, cimetidine has been formulated in an immediate release form. A study carried out by MJ Ostro et al., Gastroentenology, 1985, 89, 532 shows that the concentration of active ingredient present in the blood for a prolonged period allows a control of the gastric acidity which is better than that obtained by administration of cimetidine at different intervals.
Par ailleurs, les formes de dosage à libération immédiate tendent à provoquer une hyperacidité réflexe au niveau de l'estomac.In addition, immediate release dosage forms tend to cause reflex hyperacidity in the stomach.
On recherche donc des compositions à effet retard ou présentant une libération prolongée. Or, les formes de dosage connues à libération prolongée présentent un certain nombre d'inconvénients. Il est difficile de préparer une forme de dosage concentrée en principe actif, car pour présenter un effet de libération prolongée correct, la forme de dosage doit renfermer une quantité suffisante d'excipients remplissant la fonction de libération retard; ceci a pour conséquence de conduire a une forme de dosage d'une dimension trop importante
La présente invention permet de remédier aux inconvénients de l'art antérieur Ainsi, la présente invention fournit une composition comprenant, en poids :We are therefore looking for compositions with a delayed effect or with sustained release. However, the known sustained-release dosage forms have a certain number of drawbacks. It is difficult to prepare a dosage form concentrated in active principle, because in order to have a correct prolonged release effect, the dosage form must contain a sufficient quantity of excipients fulfilling the delayed release function; this has the consequence of leading to a dosage form of too large a dimension. The present invention overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art. Thus, the present invention provides a composition comprising, by weight:
(a) 50-99% de cimetidine; et (b) 1-50% d'un excipient, ledit excipient contenant au moins un agent formant un gel, un agent liant et un agent lubrifiant.(a) 50-99% cimetidine; and (b) 1-50% of an excipient, said excipient containing at least one gel-forming agent, a binding agent and a lubricating agent.

The term "cimetidine", as used in the invention, also denotes its pharmaceutically acceptable derivatives; the percentages by weight will however be calculated on the basis of the free cimetidine form.
Les pourcentages en poids dans la composition sont calculés sur la base de la composition finale.The weight percentages in the composition are calculated on the basis of the final composition.

According to another embodiment of the composition according to the invention, in said excipient, the gel-forming agent is also a binder.
En tant qu'agent qui à la fois est un agent formant un gel et un agent liant, on peut utiliser tout matériau, de préférence polymère . Des exemples de tels agents sont hydroxypropylméthylcellulose , éthylcellulose , poly¬ éthylèneoxydeAs the agent which is both a gel-forming agent and a binding agent, any material, preferably polymer, can be used. Examples of such agents are hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, poly¬ ethyleneoxide
Selon un autre mode de réalisation, dans ledit excipient, l'agent formant un gel et liant présente une viscosité d'au moins 3 mPa.s.According to another embodiment, in said excipient, the gel-forming agent and binder has a viscosity of at least 3 mPa.s.
Par ailleurs, jusqu'à présent il n'a pas été possible de formuler un produit, présentant un dimension raisonnable qui renferme une concentration "élevée en cimetidine, et qui soit efficace à la fois dès son absorption et pendant un temps relativement long, de quelques heures, environ 8 heures .Furthermore, until now it has not been possible to formulate a product, having a reasonable size which contains a "high concentration of cimetidine, and which is effective both from its absorption and for a relatively long time, a few hours, about 8 hours.
La présente invention remédie à cette carence de l'art antérieur, et fournit une association comprenant ;-The present invention remedies this deficiency in the prior art, and provides an association comprising; -

(a) 75-98% de cimétidme; et(a) 75-98% cimetidme; and
(b) 2-25% dudit excipient. En tant qu'agent de désintégration, on peut utiliser tout matériau classiquement utilisé dans l'art. Des exemples de tels agents sont amidons, carboxyméthylamidons , carboxyméthylcellulose réticulée, polyvinylpyrrolidone réticulée, mélange effervescent (acide plus carbonate) . Selon un mode réalisation, dans l'association selon 1 ' invention: ladite composition de cimétidme à libération immédiate contient de 50 à 400 mg, de préférence de 100 à300 mg et avantageusement environ 200 mg de cimétidme; et ladite composition de cimétidme à libération prolongée contient de 200 à 600 mg, de préférence de 300 à 500 mg et avantageusement environ 400 mg de cimétidme.(b) 2-25% of said excipient.
