Description

経口用組成物Oral composition
 本発明は、特定の医薬品が発するジアセチルに起因する特有な不快臭を改善した経口用組成物に関する。 The present invention relates to an oral composition having an improved unpleasant odor caused by diacetyl emitted by a specific pharmaceutical product.
 現在、医薬品は経口投与製剤の占める割合が高く、その中でも固形製剤が主流であるが、中には特有な不快臭を有する製剤が存在する。これらの不快臭は、服用者の服薬時や医療従事者の調剤時に強い不快感を与えることから、何らかの改善策が求められる。 Currently, pharmaceuticals account for a high percentage of oral preparations, and solid preparations are the mainstream, but there are preparations with a particular unpleasant odor. Since these unpleasant odors give a strong unpleasant sensation when the user is taking medicine or when a medical worker is dispensing, some improvement measures are required.
 特有な不快臭を有する医薬品成分の例の1つとして、(5-メチル-2-オキソ-1,3-ジオキソレン-4-イル)メチル 4-(1-ヒドロキシ-1-メチルエチル)-2-プロピル-1-{[2’-(1H-テトラゾール-5-イル)-1,1’-ビフェニル-4-イル]メチル}-1H-イミダゾール-5-カルボキシレート(以下、「オルメサルタンメドキソミル」という。)が挙げられる。オルメサルタンメドキソミルは、オルメテック(登録商標、以下同)錠として既に製造・販売されている高血圧症治療薬であり、オルメテック錠は有効成分にオルメサルタンメドキソミルを含む素錠の形態の錠剤である。オルメサルタンメドキソミルは、メドキソミルエステルが徐々に切断される過程で臭い原因物質と考えられている低分子の2,3-ブタジオン(以下、「ジアセチル」という。)を放出することが知られている(特許文献1参照)。 As an example of a pharmaceutical ingredient having a specific unpleasant odor, (5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolen-4-yl) methyl 4- (1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl) -2- Propyl-1-{[2 ′-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl) -1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl] methyl} -1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate (hereinafter referred to as “olmesartan medoxomil”). ). Olmesartan medoxomil is an antihypertensive drug already manufactured and sold as Olmetec (registered trademark, hereinafter the same) tablet. Olmetec tablets are uncoated tablets containing olmesartan medoxomil as an active ingredient. Olmesartan medoxomil is known to release low-molecular 2,3-butadione (hereinafter referred to as “diacetyl”), which is considered to be an odor-causing substance, in the process of gradual cleavage of medoxomil ester (patent) Reference 1).
 また、オルメテック錠は有効成分がメトホルミン塩酸塩であるメデット(登録商標、以下同)錠やメトグルコ(登録商標、以下同)錠、有効成分がカモスタットメシル酸塩であるフオイパン(登録商標、以下同)錠と一包化時に、これらの錠剤を着色することも知られており、この原因もオルメテック錠より放出されるジアセチルによるものと考えられている。一包化による錠剤の着色は外観を損なうだけでなく、医薬品そのものの品質にも影響を与える可能性があり、好ましくない。このようなことから、オルメサルタンメドキソミルを含有する医薬品製剤からジアセチルを発生させない、あるいは放出させない工夫が必要とされてきている。 Olmetec tablets are Medet (registered trademark, hereinafter the same) tablets whose active ingredients are metformin hydrochloride and Metogluco (registered trademark, the following) tablets, and Foypan (registered trademarks, the following) whose active ingredients are camostat mesylate. It is also known that these tablets are colored when they are encapsulated with a tablet, and this is considered to be caused by diacetyl released from Olmetec tablets. The coloration of the tablet by encapsulating not only impairs the appearance but also may affect the quality of the drug itself, which is not preferable. For these reasons, there has been a need for a device that does not generate or release diacetyl from a pharmaceutical preparation containing olmesartan medoxomil.
 においを発生させない方法として、素錠ににおいの発生を抑制する物質を加える、あるいは発生したジアセチルを吸着する物質を加える方法が考えられる。従来技術としてメドキソミル基を有する化合物を有効成分とする医薬組成物処方中にシクロデキストリンを加える方法が知られている(特許文献1参照)。
 しかしながらこの方法で使用されるシクロデキストリンは構造上低分子を包接する機能を有するが、ジアセチルに限らず様々な低分子を包接する恐れがあり、複数の医薬品を併用する場合には他の有効成分と包接して医薬品の効果を低下させる可能性がある。
As a method for preventing the generation of odor, a method of adding a substance that suppresses the generation of odor to the uncoated tablet or a substance that adsorbs the generated diacetyl can be considered. As a conventional technique, a method of adding cyclodextrin to a pharmaceutical composition formulation containing a compound having a medoxomil group as an active ingredient is known (see Patent Document 1).
However, cyclodextrin used in this method has a function of inclusion of low molecules in structure, but there is a risk of inclusion of various low molecules, not limited to diacetyl. May reduce the effectiveness of the drug.
 一方、オルメサルタンメドキソミルを安定化させる方法として素錠全量当たり0.1~1質量%、又は有効成分に対して1~20質量%のステアリン酸を加えることにより不純物の増加を抑制できる(特許文献2参照)ことが知られている。しかしながら、このようなステアリン酸を含む処方は粉体の流動性が悪く、製造性が悪い(特許文献3参照)点が課題となっている。特許文献3には素錠全量当たり約1質量%のステアリン酸を配合した具体例が記載されており、この量にステアリン酸を配合しただけでも流動性に問題が生じ、工業的な製法には不適切となることが記載されている。また、ステアリン酸をにおいの解決に用いることは記載されていない。 On the other hand, as a method for stabilizing olmesartan medoxomil, an increase in impurities can be suppressed by adding stearic acid in an amount of 0.1 to 1% by mass based on the total amount of the uncoated tablet or 1 to 20% by mass based on the active ingredient (Patent Document 2). See). However, such a formulation containing stearic acid has a problem in that the powder has poor fluidity and poor manufacturability (see Patent Document 3). Patent Document 3 describes a specific example in which about 1% by mass of stearic acid is blended with respect to the total amount of uncoated tablets. Even if stearic acid is blended in this amount, a problem arises in fluidity. It is described as inappropriate. In addition, the use of stearic acid to solve odors is not described.

 以上のように、ジアセチルを発生し、放出して特有の不快臭を有する錠剤等の製剤において、ジアセチルの発生及び/又はその製剤からの放出を抑制することで、不快臭なく、あるいは不快臭を抑制し、服薬時や医療従事者の調剤時に不快感のない製剤の提供が望まれている。
 また、医薬品の一包化時に他剤を着色することのない製剤の提供が望まれている。
 さらに、製造性良く、溶出性の良好な組成物を提供することが課題となっている。
As described above, in preparations such as tablets that generate and release diacetyl and have a peculiar unpleasant odor, by suppressing the generation of diacetyl and / or release from the preparation, there is no unpleasant odor or unpleasant odor. It is desired to provide a preparation that suppresses and does not cause discomfort when taking medicine or dispensing medical personnel.
In addition, it is desired to provide a preparation that does not color other agents when the medicine is packaged.
Furthermore, providing a composition with good manufacturability and good elution is an issue.
 本発明者らは、上記課題に鑑み、経口用製剤からのジアセチルの発生及び/又はその放出抑制を目的に鋭意検討した結果、素錠に対し、先行技術よりも更に多い5~15質量%ステアリン酸を加えることによりにおいを抑制できることを見出した。
 また、素錠に対して高含量のステアリン酸を加えると前述の通り流動性が低下する問題が生じるが、無水乳糖、乳糖水和物、白糖、などの流動性の高い特定の添加剤を多量に用いることで製造性良く錠剤を製造することができることを見出した。
 そして、ステアリン酸を含む本願の素錠では、主薬の溶出性が低下するという新たな問題が生じたが、特定の崩壊剤(例えば、クロスポビドン、アルファー化デンプン又はこれらの混合物)を用いることにより溶出遅延を防止し、溶出性も改善できることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。
In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors have intensively studied for the purpose of generating and / or suppressing the release of diacetyl from oral preparations. It was found that the odor can be suppressed by adding an acid.
In addition, when high content of stearic acid is added to the uncoated tablet, there is a problem that the fluidity decreases as described above. It was found that tablets can be produced with good manufacturability when used in the above.
And in the uncoated tablet of the present application containing stearic acid, there was a new problem that the dissolution of the active ingredient was lowered, but by using a specific disintegrant (for example, crospovidone, pregelatinized starch or a mixture thereof) The inventors have found that elution delay can be prevented and elution can be improved, and the present invention has been completed.

 オルメサルタンメドキソミルなどのメドキソミル基を持つ薬剤の特有な不快臭はジアセチルが原因である。そのため、においの評点をヒトによる評価で行った場合でも、においの評点とジアセチルの値には一定の相関がみられた。
 においの評点が1.5以下であれば、ジアセチルは約200ng/mg以下であり、1.0であれば約100ng/mg以下であり、0.5であれば約70ng/mg以下であると考えられる。
The unique unpleasant odor of drugs having a medoxomil group such as olmesartan medoxomil is due to diacetyl. Therefore, even when the odor score was evaluated by a human, a certain correlation was observed between the odor score and the diacetyl value.
If the odor rating is 1.5 or less, diacetyl is about 200 ng / mg or less, 1.0 is about 100 ng / mg or less, and 0.5 is about 70 ng / mg or less. Conceivable.

 表2より、ステアリン酸を含有する実施例1~5は製造直後のにおいの評定が0.5~1.5であるのに対し、比較例1の処方では2.5となっており、飽和脂肪酸を含有している本発明の経口用組成物は、明らかににおいが抑制できていることが確認できた。
 表3には、においの原因物質のジアセチルの評価結果を示す。25℃で4週間保存した場合、比較例1に対し、ステアリン酸を含有する実施例1、3はジアセチルの量が充分抑制されており、においが少ないことが確認できる。また、40℃5日の加速試験においてもステアリン酸を含有する実施例4と含まない比較例1の差は明らかである。
From Table 2, Examples 1 to 5 containing stearic acid have an odor rating of 0.5 to 1.5 immediately after production, whereas the formulation of Comparative Example 1 is 2.5, which is saturated. It was confirmed that the oral composition of the present invention containing a fatty acid clearly suppressed odor.
Table 3 shows the evaluation result of diacetyl as a causative substance of odor. When stored at 25 ° C. for 4 weeks, it can be confirmed that in Examples 1 and 3 containing stearic acid, the amount of diacetyl is sufficiently suppressed as compared with Comparative Example 1, and the smell is small. Further, even in an accelerated test at 40 ° C. for 5 days, the difference between Example 4 containing stearic acid and Comparative Example 1 not containing it is clear.
 実施例3は直打法で、実施例6は実施例3と同様の処方であるが、乾式造粒をした後に打錠し、製造している。表2は製造直後及び25℃4週間のにおいの評点を表しているが、ほぼ同じ結果であり、いずれの方法でも製造できることが確認できる。 Example 3 is a direct compression method, and Example 6 has the same formulation as Example 3. However, after dry granulation, the tablet is compressed and manufactured. Table 2 shows the odor scores immediately after production and at 25 ° C. for 4 weeks. The results are almost the same, and it can be confirmed that any method can be used.
試験例3<類縁物質の評価>
 高速液体クロマトグラフィーにて試料溶液と標準溶液を分析し、錠剤中の類縁物質量(%)を測定した。ここで、類縁物質とはオルメサルタンメドキソミル原薬等に含まれる不純物や、オルメサルタンメドキソミルの分解物のことを指す。類縁物質量は標準溶液に含まれるオルメサルタンメドキソミルより算出し、試料溶液に含まれる類縁物質の量を%で表したものをいう。また、最大値、とは高速液体クロマトグラフィーで評価した時の一番大きいピークの類縁物質量を表し、合計値とは類縁物質のピークを合計した場合の類縁物質量を表す。

Test Example 3 <Evaluation of Related Substances>
The sample solution and the standard solution were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography, and the amount of related substances (%) in the tablets was measured. Here, the related substances refer to impurities contained in olmesartan medoxomil drug substance and the like, and degradation products of olmesartan medoxomil. The amount of the related substance is calculated from olmesartan medoxomil contained in the standard solution and represents the amount of the related substance contained in the sample solution expressed in%. The maximum value represents the amount of the related substance of the largest peak when evaluated by high performance liquid chromatography, and the total value represents the amount of the related substance when the peaks of the related substances are totaled.
<Sample solution>
After precisely weighing the weight of one tablet, this tablet was ground in a mortar and accurately weighed into a volumetric flask. Acetonitrile was added to this and irradiated with ultrasonic waves, and then acetonitrile was added to make exactly 20 mL. 4 mL of this solution was accurately taken, 1 mL of acetonitrile was added, and then mobile phase A was added to make exactly 10 mL to obtain a sample solution.
<Standard solution>
Separately, 20.0 mg of olmesartan medoxomil was accurately weighed and acetonitrile was added to make exactly 50 mL. Accurately measure 1 mL of this solution, add acetonitrile to make exactly 100 mL, further measure exactly 1 mL of this solution, add 4 mL of acetonitrile, and then add mobile phase A to make exactly 10 mL.

 実施例1~5、比較例1の製剤を製造直後、40℃5日間それぞれ保管した場合の試験例3の結果をまとめて表5に示す。 Table 5 summarizes the results of Test Example 3 when the preparations of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 were stored immediately after production and at 40 ° C. for 5 days, respectively.

 表5は、製造直後及び40℃5日間保存後に錠剤中に生じた類縁物質量(%)を表している。
 40℃5日間保存後の類縁物質量(%)は、実施例4と比較して比較例1では増加しており、ステアリン酸を配合することにより、類縁物質の増加が抑制されていることが確認できる。
 一方製造直後の評価では、実施例1~5、比較例1は最大値と合計値共にほぼ同様な類縁物質の結果となっている。表2で比較例1は実施例1~5と比較してにおいの評定が高かったのに対し、類縁物質には差が無い。においの原因のジアセチルはオルメサルタンメドキソミルの分解によって生じると考えられるが、類縁物質に差が無い程度であっても、においの評点の差が顕著に出たことから、においは必ずしも類縁物質の値と相関しないことが分かる。
Table 5 shows the amount (%) of related substances generated in the tablets immediately after production and after storage at 40 ° C. for 5 days.
The amount of related substance (%) after storage at 40 ° C. for 5 days is increased in Comparative Example 1 as compared with Example 4, and the addition of stearic acid suppresses the increase in related substances. I can confirm.
On the other hand, in the evaluation immediately after production, Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 showed the similar results for the similar substances in both the maximum value and the total value. In Table 2, Comparative Example 1 had a higher odor rating than Examples 1-5, while there was no difference in related substances. Diacetyl, the cause of odor, is thought to be generated by the degradation of olmesartan medoxomil, but even if there is no difference in the related substances, the difference in odor rating is significant, so the odor is not necessarily the value of the related substances. It can be seen that there is no correlation.

 実施例1、4、比較例1、市販のオルメテック錠10mgの錠剤1錠について、日本薬局方溶出試験のパドル法により下記条件により溶出試験を実施した。表6には各錠剤からのオルメサルタンメドキソミルの溶出率(%)を示す。

 なお、表6中のオルメテック錠は、低置換度ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、ヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、結晶セルロース、乳糖水和物、及びステアリン酸マグネシウムを添加物として含有する錠剤である。 The Olmetec tablets in Table 6 are tablets containing low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose, crystalline cellulose, lactose hydrate, and magnesium stearate as additives.
 表6は製造した錠剤の溶出性を表している。実施例4はステアリン酸を含む処方であるが、ステアリン酸を含有していない比較例1と比べ、溶出性が大幅に低下していることが確認できる。一方、崩壊剤を使用した実施例1では、崩壊剤を含有していない実施例4の処方に比べて、溶出性が顕著に改善されており、崩壊剤を含有させることにより、においの抑制に加えて溶出性にも優れる錠剤となっていることが確認できた。 Table 6 shows the dissolution properties of the manufactured tablets. Although Example 4 is a formulation containing stearic acid, it can be confirmed that the dissolution properties are significantly reduced as compared with Comparative Example 1 which does not contain stearic acid. On the other hand, in Example 1 using a disintegrating agent, the dissolution property was remarkably improved as compared with the formulation of Example 4 not containing a disintegrating agent. In addition, it was confirmed that the tablets had excellent dissolution properties.
試験例5<配合変化試験>

Test Example 5 <Combination change test>
Olmesartan medoxomil and each disintegrant listed in Table 7 below (Property: Confirmation of odor (60 ° C, 1 week sealed environment)) and Table 8 (Related substances (60 ° C, 1 week sealed environment)) were mixed at a ratio of 1: 1. Then, the odor (Table 7) and the evaluation of related substances (Table 8) when stored in a sealed environment at 60 ° C. for 1 week were performed. The method follows the method described above.

Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-T000008
 オルメサルタンメドキソミル及びステアリン酸を含む処方では溶出性が低下するため、崩壊剤をさらに添加することが好ましいが、ヒプロメロースやヒドロキシプロピルセルロース、結晶セルロースでは、オルメサルタンメドキソミルの類縁物質を増大させるため、これらを含有させることは好ましくない。
 一方、クロスポビドンやアルファー化デンプンは類縁物質の増大は小さく、においの発生も他の崩壊剤と比較して少ないため、本発明の経口用組成物における崩壊剤として適していると考えられる。
In formulations containing olmesartan medoxomil and stearic acid, dissolution is reduced, so it is preferable to add a disintegrant, but hypromellose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and crystalline cellulose contain these in order to increase the related substances of olmesartan medoxomil. It is not preferable to make it.
On the other hand, crospovidone and pregelatinized starch are considered to be suitable as disintegrants in the oral composition of the present invention because the increase in related substances is small and the generation of odor is small compared to other disintegrants.
