Formula I: Saxagliptin
There are also several patent applications which disclose orally administered saxagliptin formulations, but none of them includes orally disintegrating tablets of saxagliptin.
It is well known in the art that saxagliptin is an unstable compound and it can undergo a thermodynamically favored cyclization to form the corresponding cyclic amidine. This cyclization reaction can occur both in solid state and solution state. The challenge of minimizing or preventing the cyclization reaction during manufacture of saxagliptin formulations is particularly significant. Also, saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or crystalline polymorph thereof is used small proportion that can lead to considerable problems during the manufacture of the composition with regard to the uniformity of the content of active agent in the individual composition units.
US 6,395,767 discloses a DPP4 inhibiting compound, saxagliptin and its use in treating type- 11 diabetes mellitus.
WO 2011/052825 discloses a composition of DPP4 inhibitors and anti-diabetic compounds for use in the treatment of diabetes.
US 7,951 ,400 discloses a coated tablet formulation of saxagliptin containing a polyvinyl alcohol based coating.
Several studies have been conducted to address providing stabilite of saxagliptin and attempts have also been made to improve the formulation. However, despite the stability problem of saxagliptin, pharmacotechnical properties, such as flowability, compressibility and content uniformity of saxagliptin in the tablet has not been disclosed.
The present invention discloses a film coated tablet comprising a granulate comprising saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or crystalline polymorph thereof and at least one antioxidant, wherein the granulate is obtained by wet-granulation using ethanol. The film coated tablet is created to overcome the above problems and provides additional advantages to the relevant field of art. Other advantages and embodiments of the present invention will be clarified in the following description.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The present invention relates to a film coated tablet comprising a granulate comprising saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or crystalline polymorph thereof and at least one antioxidant, wherein the granulate is obtained by wet-granulation using ethanol. So, this way eliminates the problems stability of active agent and provides additional advantages to the relevant field of art. Based on the state of the art, the main object of the present invention is to obtain stable a tablet with improved stability and content uniformity and compressibility, flowability by wet granulation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a film coated tablet having the desired dissolution profile. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a film coated tablet having the desired stability, content uniformity, dissolution profile, flowability, hardness and compressibility.
Saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or crystalline polymorph thereof is used small proportion that can lead to considerable problems during the manufacture of the composition with regard to the uniformity of the content of active agent in the individual composition units. In this invention, to eliminate this problem, wet granulation is preferred in terms of pharmacotechnical properties, such as flowability, compressibility and content uniformity of saxagliptin. Especially, using ethanol also provides the desired stability.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a film coated tablet comprises a granulate comprising saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof or crystalline polymorph thereof and at least one antioxidant, wherein the granulate is obtained by wetgranulation using ethanol.
Both wet and dry granulation processes improved compressibility. However, unexpectedly, when the granulation process was scaled up to an industrial scale, the flowability of the saxagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof was unsatisfactory when using the dry granulation method; only the wet granulation process improved flowability. In addition, this method provides the desired compressibility and flowability without loss of active substance.
Although the wet granulation process is effective to solve the flowability problems associated with dry granulation, there can be problems with binding when the process is scaled up to an industrial scale. It has been found that these problems can be solved by using a wet granulation process using ethanol granulation liquid as in which part of the antioxidant is mixed with the saxagliptin, for example in a powder form, and the remaining part is present in the granulation liquid.
