Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a combination preparation containing evogliptin and metformin and a method for producing the same. More specifically, it is a combination preparation consisting of immediate-release granules containing evogliptin and sustained-release granules containing metformin. Due to its bilayer tablet structure, there are problems in manufacturing the combination preparation containing both evogliptin and metformin. It relates to a composite preparation and a manufacturing method thereof that solve the problems of improving content uniformity, size of the preparation, and dissolution rate.
  • Diabetes is largely divided into insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes and non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, which accounts for the majority of diabetes patients.
  • Metformin a biguanide diabetes treatment, is an oral drug mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes.
  • Metformin acts independently of insulin secretion and acts by a mechanism to reduce sugar synthesis in the liver, reduce sugar absorption in the intestines, and increase insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.
  • metformin hydrochloride tablets are sold under the brand name Glucophage. Glucophage tablets contain 250 mg, 500 mg, or 1000 mg of metformin hydrochloride and are administered within a maximum dosage of 2500 mg per day. Side effects related to metformin include loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, nausea, and diarrhea, and these side effects can be partially avoided by using sustained-release preparations.

  • Evogliptin tartrate is sold by Dong-A ST under the brand name Suganon.
  • Evogliptin acts as an inhibitor of the DPP-4 enzyme and is a diabetes treatment disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1054911.
  • Evogliptin has a mechanism of action that maintains blood sugar by maintaining high blood levels of GLP-1, which plays an important role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This mechanism promotes insulin secretion, improves pancreatic beta cell function, and increases weight gain. It has the advantage of controlling blood sugar levels without the side effects of hypoglycemia.
  • DPP-4 inhibitors currently on the market include sitagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0606871), vildagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0509311), saxagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0758407), and linagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0758407). 1150449), Gemigliptin (Korean Patent 10-0776623), etc.

에보글립틴 및 메트포르민을 포함하는 경구용 복합제제 및 그의 제조방법Oral combination preparation containing evogliptin and metformin and method for producing the same
본 발명은 에보글립틴 및 메트포르민을 포함하는 복합제제 및 그의 제조방법에 관한 것이다. 보다 상세하게는, 에보글립틴을 포함하는 속방성 과립 및 메트포르민을 포함하는 서방성 과립으로 이루어진 복합제제로서, 이층정 구조를 가짐으로 인해 에보글립틴과 메트포르민을 동시에 포함하는 복합제제의 제조시 문제될 수 있는 함량 균일성, 제제의 크기 및 용출율 개선의 문제를 해소한 복합제제 및 이의 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a combination preparation containing evogliptin and metformin and a method for producing the same. More specifically, it is a combination preparation consisting of immediate-release granules containing evogliptin and sustained-release granules containing metformin. Due to its bilayer tablet structure, there are problems in manufacturing the combination preparation containing both evogliptin and metformin. It relates to a composite preparation and a manufacturing method thereof that solve the problems of improving content uniformity, size of the preparation, and dissolution rate.
당뇨병은 크게 인슐린 의존형 제 1형 당뇨병과 전체 당뇨병 환자의 대부분을 차지하는 인슐린 비의존형 제 2형 당뇨병으로 나뉜다. 비구아나이드계 당뇨병 치료제인 메트포르민은 제 2형 당뇨병 치료에 주로 사용되는 경구용 약물이다.Diabetes is largely divided into insulin-dependent type 1 diabetes and non-insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, which accounts for the majority of diabetes patients. Metformin, a biguanide diabetes treatment, is an oral drug mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes.
메트포르민은 인슐린 분비와는 무관하게 작용하며, 간에서의 당 합성을 감소시키고, 장에서의 당 흡수를 감소시키며, 말초조직에서 인슐린 감수성을 증가시키는 기전으로 작용한다. 현재 메트포르민은 염산염의 정제 형태로 글루코파지라는 상품명 등으로 시판되고 있으며, 글루코파지 정제는 250mg, 500mg 또는 1000mg 의 메트포르민 염산염을 함유하고 있으며, 1일 최대 2500mg 의 최대 용량 범위 내에서 투여된다. 메트포르민 관련한 부작용은 식욕감퇴, 복부팽만감, 구역, 설사 등이 있으며, 이러한 부작용은 서방성 제제를 이용함으로써 부분적으로 피할 수 있다.Metformin acts independently of insulin secretion and acts by a mechanism to reduce sugar synthesis in the liver, reduce sugar absorption in the intestines, and increase insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues. Currently, metformin hydrochloride tablets are sold under the brand name Glucophage. Glucophage tablets contain 250 mg, 500 mg, or 1000 mg of metformin hydrochloride and are administered within a maximum dosage of 2500 mg per day. Side effects related to metformin include loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, nausea, and diarrhea, and these side effects can be partially avoided by using sustained-release preparations.
한편, 디펩티딜-펩티다제-4(DPP-4) 효소의 저해제인 화합물은 당뇨병, 특히 2형 당뇨병 치료에 유용한 약제로 각광받고 있다. 예를 들어 이는 WO 제97/40832호, WO 제98/19998호, 미국 특허 5,939,560, 문헌[참고 : Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 6(10), 1163 - 1166 (1996) 및 Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 6(22), 2745 - 2748 (1996)]에서 확인할 수 있다.Meanwhile, compounds that are inhibitors of the dipeptidyl-peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme are attracting attention as useful drugs for treating diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes. For example, this can be found in WO 97/40832, WO 98/19998, US Patent 5,939,560, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 6(10), 1163 - 1166 (1996) and Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 6(22), 2745 - 2748 (1996)].

에보글립틴 타르타르산염은 동아에스티에서 슈가논이라는 상표명으로 판매되고 있다.Evogliptin tartrate is sold by Dong-A ST under the brand name Suganon.
에보글립틴은 DPP-4 효소의 저해제로 작용하며, 한국특허 10-1054911에 개시된 당뇨병 치료제이다. 에보글립틴은 당의 항상성을 유지하는 데 중요한 역할을 하는 GLP-1의 혈중농도를 높게 유지시켜 혈당을 유지하는 작용기전을 가지며, 이러한 기전은 인슐린 분비 촉진, 췌장의 베타세포 기능 개선, 그리고 체중 증가 및 저혈당의 부작용이 없으면서 혈당조절을 할 수 있는 이점을 가지고 있다. 현재 시판되고 있는 DPP-4 저해제는 시타글립틴(한국특허 10-0606871), 빌다글립틴(한국특허 10-0509311), 삭사글립틴(한국특허 10-0758407), 리나글립틴(한국특허 10-1150449), 제미글립틴(한국특허 10-0776623) 등이 있다.Evogliptin acts as an inhibitor of the DPP-4 enzyme and is a diabetes treatment disclosed in Korean Patent No. 10-1054911. Evogliptin has a mechanism of action that maintains blood sugar by maintaining high blood levels of GLP-1, which plays an important role in maintaining glucose homeostasis. This mechanism promotes insulin secretion, improves pancreatic beta cell function, and increases weight gain. It has the advantage of controlling blood sugar levels without the side effects of hypoglycemia. DPP-4 inhibitors currently on the market include sitagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0606871), vildagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0509311), saxagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0758407), and linagliptin (Korean Patent 10-0758407). 1150449), Gemigliptin (Korean Patent 10-0776623), etc.
제 2형 당뇨의 치료는, 메트포르민 염산염이 1차 치료제로 사용되고, 메트포르민에 의한 혈당조절이 안되는 경우 타 약제를 병용투여하고 있다. 메트포르민과 치료기전이 상이한 DPP-4 저해제는 메트포르민 염산염과의 병용투여가 빈번하며, 만성 대사질환을 앓고 있는 환자의 경우 다약제 병용에 따른 복용의 편의성 개선을 위해 복합제 처방이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 DPP-4 저해제와 메트포르민 염산염의 복합제로 자누메트(MSD), 가브스메트(노바티스), 콤비글라이즈(BMS), 트라젠타듀오(베링거인겔하임), 제미메트(LG생명과학), 가드메트(JW중외), 테넬리아엠(한독) 등이 시판중이다. For the treatment of type 2 diabetes, metformin hydrochloride is used as a first-line treatment, and other drugs are administered in combination when blood sugar control cannot be achieved with metformin. DPP-4 inhibitors, which have a different therapeutic mechanism from metformin, are frequently administered in combination with metformin hydrochloride, and for patients suffering from chronic metabolic diseases, the prescription of combination drugs is increasing to improve the convenience of taking due to the combination of multiple drugs. Combination drugs of these DPP-4 inhibitors and metformin hydrochloride include Janumet (MSD), Gavsmet (Novartis), Combiglyze (BMS), Trajenta Duo (Boehringer Ingelheim), Zemimet (LG Life Sciences), and Guardmet. (JW Pharmaceutical) and Tenelia M (Handok) are on the market.
에보글립틴을 포함하여 DPP-4 저해제는 모두 속방성 제형으로 설계되어 있고, 메트포르민은 속방성과 서방성 제형의 두가지 제제가 모두 사용이 된다. 특히, 메트포르민 서방성 제형과 DPP-4 저해제를 포함하는 복합제를 제조할 경우에는 두 약물의 방출 특성을 고려하여 제형이 설계되어야 한다.All DPP-4 inhibitors, including evogliptin, are designed as immediate-release formulations, and metformin is used in both immediate-release and sustained-release formulations. In particular, when manufacturing a combination drug containing a metformin sustained-release formulation and a DPP-4 inhibitor, the formulation should be designed considering the release characteristics of the two drugs.
메트포르민의 서방성 제제과 DPP-4 저해제의 속방성 제제를 포함하는 복합제제에 대한 선행연구를 보면, 아래 특허와 같이 메트포르민 서방정 내핵에 DPP-4 저해제를 코팅하는 형태의 조성물로 개발되어 있다.Looking at previous studies on combination preparations containing a sustained-release preparation of metformin and an immediate-release preparation of a DPP-4 inhibitor, a composition was developed that coats the inner core of a metformin sustained-release tablet with a DPP-4 inhibitor, as shown in the patent below.
한국특허 10-1290925는 "코팅된 정제 제형 및 방법"으로 DPP-4 저해제인 삭사글립틴을 정제코어에 코팅하는 방법에 대해 기술되어 있다.Korean Patent 10-1290925, “Coated Tablet Formulation and Method,” describes a method of coating a tablet core with saxagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor.
한국특허공개공보 KR10-2014-0131950은 "메트포르민과, DPP-4 억제제 또는 SGLT-2 억제제를 포함하는 약제학적 조성물"로서 메트포르민 서방코어에 DPP-4 억제제인 리나글립틴을 코팅하는 방법에 대해 기술하고 있다.Korean Patent Publication KR10-2014-0131950 is a “pharmaceutical composition containing metformin and a DPP-4 inhibitor or SGLT-2 inhibitor” and describes a method of coating linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, on metformin sustained-release core. I'm doing it.
한국특허공개공보 KR10-2014-0045271는 "제미글립틴 및 메트포르민을 포함하는 복합제제 및 이의 제조방법"으로 DPP-4 억제제인 제미글립틴과 메트포르민의 이층정 제조방법, 또는 메트포르민 정제코어에 제미글립틴을 코팅하는 방법에 대해 기술하고 있다. 상기 문헌에는 이층정 제조방법에 대한 내용이 포함되어 있으나, 본 발명과는 달리 메트포르민의 서방형 매트릭스 구성을 위해 전호화 전분을 사용하고 있으며, 전호화 전분의 중량%는 메트포르민 염산염 대비 가장 바람직하게 55~65 중량%를 포함함으로써, 유효성분이 1,000mg 용량으로 포함되도록 제제화하기 위해 1600mg 이상의 큰 사이즈의 정제로 만들도록 기술되어 있다. 이와 같이 제조되는 최종 정제의 크기가 큰 경우 연하 곤란으로 인해 환자의 약물 순응도가 크게 낮아질 수 있다는 단점이 있다.Korean Patent Publication No. KR10-2014-0045271 is a “combined preparation containing gemigliptin and metformin and a manufacturing method thereof,” which describes a method for manufacturing a bilayer tablet of Gemigliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and metformin, or Gemiglip on a metformin tablet core. It describes how to coat liptin. The above document contains information on a method for manufacturing a bilayer tablet, but unlike the present invention, pregelatinized starch is used to construct a sustained-release matrix of metformin, and the weight percent of pregelatinized starch is most preferably 55% compared to metformin hydrochloride. By containing ~65% by weight, it is described to be made into large-sized tablets of 1,600 mg or more in order to formulate the active ingredient in a dosage of 1,000 mg. If the size of the final tablet manufactured in this way is large, there is a disadvantage that the patient's drug compliance may be greatly reduced due to difficulty swallowing.
그러나, 에보글립틴과 메트포르민을 포함하는 복합제제에 대한 특허문헌은 찾아 볼 수 없었다.However, no patent literature could be found for a combination preparation containing evogliptin and metformin.
투여용량이 높은 메트포르민 염산염에 비해 에보글립틴 타르타르산염의 투여용량은 매우 작기 때문에, 함량 차이가 많이 나는 두가지 성분으로 이층정을 제조하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 현재 시판되고 있는 DPP-4 저해제의 활성성분으로서 시타글립틴은 100mg, 삭사글립틴은 5mg, 제미글립틴은 50mg, 및 테네리글립틴은 20mg으로 구성되어 있다. DPP-4 저해제와 메트포르민 서방 복합제제로 구성되면서 본 발명 이외에 유일하게 이층정 제조방법에 대한 내용을 담고 있는 제미글립틴의 경우도 활성성분이 50mg 으로 에보글립틴보다 10배 많게 구성되어 있으며, 이외의 DPP-4 저해제는 모두 메트포르민 서방코어에 코팅되는 복합제제로 제조되는 것을 고려할 때, 함량 차이가 많이 나는 두 가지 성분의 이층정 제조는 매우 어려운 일임을 알 수 있다.Because the administered dose of evogliptin tartrate is very small compared to metformin hydrochloride, which has a high administered dose, it is very difficult to manufacture a double-layer tablet with two ingredients whose contents differ greatly. The active ingredients of currently commercially available DPP-4 inhibitors consist of 100 mg of sitagliptin, 5 mg of saxagliptin, 50 mg of gemigliptin, and 20 mg of teneligliptin. Gemigliptin, which consists of a DPP-4 inhibitor and a metformin sustained-release combination preparation and is the only product other than the present invention to contain information on the bilayer tablet manufacturing method, also contains 50 mg of active ingredient, 10 times more than Evogliptin. Considering that all DPP-4 inhibitors are manufactured as a composite preparation coated on the metformin extended-release core, it can be seen that manufacturing a bilayer tablet of two components with large differences in content is very difficult.
이러한 상황에서 본 발명자들은 제 2형 당뇨병의 1차 치료제로 사용되는 메트포르민 염산염의 부작용을 감소시키기 위해 서방정으로 하고, 여기에 작용 메커니즘이 상이한 DPP-4 저해제인 에보글립틴과의 복합제로 개발하기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 메트포르민 염산염과 서방화제를 사용하여 메트포르민 서방성 과립을 제조하고, 에보글립틴 타르트산염과 붕해제를 사용하여 에보글립틴 속방성 과립을 제조하였다. 상기 2종 과립을 사용하여 이층정으로 타정하여 메트포르민은 서방출의 특성을 나타내고, 에보글립틴은 속방출의 특성을 나타내는 복합 제제를 제공하고, 상기 두 가지 과립의 비율과 조성을 조절하여 더욱 바람직한 복합제제를 개발하였다.In this situation, the present inventors developed a sustained-release tablet to reduce the side effects of metformin hydrochloride, which is used as a primary treatment for type 2 diabetes, and a combination drug with evogliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor with a different mechanism of action. conducted a study. As a result, metformin sustained-release granules were prepared using metformin hydrochloride and a sustained-release agent, and evogliptin immediate-release granules were prepared using evogliptin tartrate and a disintegrant. By compressing the two types of granules into double-layer tablets, metformin exhibits sustained-release characteristics and evogliptin exhibits immediate-release characteristics, providing a composite preparation. By controlling the ratio and composition of the two granules, a more desirable composite formulation is provided. A formulation was developed.
에보글립틴은 매우 소량으로 포함되고, 서방출의 과립과 타정하기 때문에 함량균일성과 에보글립틴의 빠른 용출을 확보하기 위해서는 종래의 일반적인 제제기술로 충족시키기는 어려운 상황이다. 그 결과 이층정을 통하여 안정성이 개선된 복합제를 개발할 수 있음을 발견하여 본 발명을 완성하게 되었다. 그 중에서도 특히 메트포르민 서방성 과립의 일부와 에보글립틴 속방성 과립을 혼합하여 이층정으로 제조하였을 경우에도 에보글립틴의 속방 용출을 유지할 수 있었다.Since evogliptin is contained in a very small amount and is tableted with sustained-release granules, it is difficult to achieve content uniformity and rapid dissolution of evogliptin using conventional general formulation techniques. As a result, it was discovered that a combination drug with improved stability could be developed through a double-layer tablet, and the present invention was completed. In particular, even when a part of metformin sustained-release granules and Evogliptin immediate-release granules were mixed to form a double-layer tablet, the immediate-release dissolution of Evogliptin was maintained.
본 발명의 목적은 에보글립틴이 메트포르민과 함께 사용될 때, 에보글립틴은 속방출을 나타내고 메트포르민은 서방출을 나타내는 효과적인 복합제제를 개발하는 것이다. 특히, 에보글립틴은 복합제제의 전체중량 대비로 매우 소량이 포함되기 때문에 함량균일성을 확보하는 것도 중요하다.The purpose of the present invention is to develop an effective combination preparation in which evogliptin exhibits immediate release and metformin exhibits sustained release when evogliptin is used together with metformin. In particular, it is important to ensure content uniformity because evogliptin is contained in a very small amount compared to the total weight of the combination preparation.
본 발명은 에보글립틴과 메트포르민을 포함하고, 메트포르민의 서방출에 영향을 받지 않고 에보글립틴이 속방출을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라, 에보글립틴의 함량균일성이 확보된 복합제제 및 그의 제조방법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.The present invention provides a combination preparation containing evogliptin and metformin, which not only exhibits immediate release of evogliptin without being affected by the sustained release of metformin, but also ensures content uniformity of evogliptin, and a method for producing the same. The purpose is to

실시예 5 내지 7 및 비교예 3에 대하여 에보글립틴 성분과 메트포르민 성분의 용출 평가를 진행하였다.For Examples 5 to 7 and Comparative Example 3, dissolution evaluation of the evogliptin component and the metformin component was performed.
에보글립틴의 용출평가는 pH 1.2액, 37℃, 900mL, 50rpm에서 진행하였다. 에보글립틴은 속방용출을 나타내어야 하므로 30분이내에 용출률이 80% 이상을 나타내어야 한다. The dissolution evaluation of evogliptin was conducted in a pH 1.2 solution, 37°C, 900 mL, and 50 rpm. Evogliptin must exhibit immediate release, so the dissolution rate must be at least 80% within 30 minutes.
메트포르민의 용출평가는 pH 1.2액, 37℃, 900mL, 100rpm에서 진행하였다. 메트포르민 성분은 서방 용출을 나타내기 때문에 1시간에 15~45%, 3시간에 35~65%, 10시간에 80% 이상의 용출을 나타내어야 한다. The dissolution evaluation of metformin was conducted in a pH 1.2 solution, 37°C, 900 mL, and 100 rpm. Since the metformin ingredient exhibits sustained release, it must exhibit a release rate of 15-45% in 1 hour, 35-65% in 3 hours, and 80% or more in 10 hours.
실시예 5 내지 7 및 비교예 3의 에보글립틴 용출 평가 결과는 아래 [표 7] 및 [도 1]에 나타내었고, 메트포르민 용출 평가 결과는 [표 8]에 나타내었다.The evogliptin dissolution evaluation results of Examples 5 to 7 and Comparative Example 3 are shown in [Table 7] and [Figure 1] below, and the metformin dissolution evaluation results are shown in [Table 8].

상기 [표 7] 및 [도 1]의 결과에서 볼 수 있듯이 실시예 5 내지 7의 에보글립틴은 빠른 속방 용출을 나타내었으나, 비교예 3의 경우에는 속방용출을 나타내지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다.As can be seen from the results in [Table 7] and [Figure 1], evogliptin in Examples 5 to 7 showed rapid immediate release, but in the case of Comparative Example 3, it was found that it did not show immediate release.
[표 8]의 결과에서 볼 수 있듯이 에보글립틴의 속방성 과립에 포함되는 붕해제는 메트포르민의 서방 용출에는 영향을 주지 않음을 알 수 있었다.As can be seen from the results in [Table 8], it was found that the disintegrant contained in the immediate-release granules of evogliptin did not affect the sustained dissolution of metformin.
실험예 3. 복합제제의 용출평가 및 함량균일성 평가Experimental Example 3. Dissolution evaluation and content uniformity evaluation of combination preparation
실시예 5, 8 내지 10 및 비교예 4 내지 6의 제제에 대하여 에보글립틴 성분의 함량균일성 및 용출, 그리고 메트포르민 성분의 용출평가를 진행하였다.The preparations of Examples 5, 8 to 10 and Comparative Examples 4 to 6 were evaluated for content uniformity and dissolution of the evogliptin component and the dissolution of the metformin component.
에보글립틴의 용출평가는 pH 1.2액, 37℃, 900mL, 50rpm조건에서 30분에 샘플링하여 분석을 진행하였다. 에보글립틴은 속방용출을 나타내어야 하므로 30분이내에 용출률이 80% 이상을 나타내어야 한다.The dissolution evaluation of evogliptin was conducted by sampling for 30 minutes in a pH 1.2 solution, 37°C, 900mL, and 50rpm. Evogliptin must exhibit immediate release, so the dissolution rate must be at least 80% within 30 minutes.
메트포르민의 용출평가는 pH 1.2액, 37℃, 900mL, 100rpm에서 진행하였다. 메트포르민 성분은 서방 용출을 나타내기 때문에 1시간에 15~45%, 3시간에 35~65%, 10시간에 80% 이상의 용출을 나타내어야 한다.The dissolution evaluation of metformin was conducted in a pH 1.2 solution, 37°C, 900 mL, and 100 rpm. Since the metformin ingredient exhibits sustained release, it must exhibit a release rate of 15-45% in 1 hour, 35-65% in 3 hours, and 80% or more in 10 hours.
에보글립틴의 용출 및 함량균일성의 RSD% 결과는 [표 9]에 나타내었고, 메트포르민 용출 결과는 [표 10] 에 나타내었다.The RSD% results of evogliptin dissolution and content uniformity are shown in [Table 9], and the metformin dissolution results are shown in [Table 10].

상기 [표 9]의 결과에서 볼 수 있듯이 실시예 5, 8 내지 10의 에보글립틴 용출은 모두 빠른 속방 용출을 나타내었다. 그러나 붕해제가 없거나, 서방성 과립과의 혼합비율이 높은 비교예 4, 5의 경우는 용출 저하가 일어났다. 더구나, 이층정으로 제조하지 않고 두 과립을 섞어서 타정할 경우 에보글립틴은 30분에 20% 정도의 매우 낮은 용출일 나타내었다. 에보글립틴의 함량균일성은 모두 RSD 3% 이내로 양호한 균일성을 나타내었지만, 혼합비율을 높여 이층부의 중량이 높아질수록 균일성이 좋아지는 양상을 보였다.As can be seen from the results in [Table 9], the dissolution of evogliptin in Examples 5, 8 to 10 all showed rapid immediate release. However, in Comparative Examples 4 and 5, which did not contain a disintegrant or had a high mixing ratio with sustained-release granules, dissolution decreased. Moreover, when the two granules were mixed and compressed instead of being manufactured as a double-layer tablet, evogliptin showed a very low dissolution rate of about 20% in 30 minutes. The content uniformity of evogliptin was all within RSD 3%, showing good uniformity, but as the mixing ratio was increased and the weight of the double layer increased, uniformity improved.
메트포르민 용출의 경우 [표 10]에서 볼 수 있듯이 메트포르민의 서방용출을 나타내기는 했으나, 서방성 과립이 에보글립틴 속방성 과립과 혼합되는 비율이 높아질수록 용출이 약간 빨리지는 양상을 나타내었다.In the case of metformin dissolution, as can be seen in [Table 10], metformin showed sustained release, but as the ratio of sustained-release granules mixed with evogliptin immediate-release granules increased, dissolution became slightly faster.
실험예 4. 복합제제의 함량, 함량 균일성 및 용출 평가Experimental Example 4. Evaluation of content, content uniformity, and dissolution of composite preparation
실시예 6, 11, 12 및 비교예 7에 대해 함량 및 함량균일성 평가를 진행하였다. 또한 에보글립틴 성분에 대한 용출 평가를 진행하였다. 에보글립틴의 용출평가는 pH 1.2액, 37℃, 900mL, 50rpm에서 진행하였다. 에보글립틴은 속방용출을 나타내어야 하므로 30분이내에 용출률이 80% 이상을 나타내어야 한다. 그 결과는 아래 [표 11]에 나타내었다.Content and content uniformity were evaluated for Examples 6, 11, 12, and Comparative Example 7. Additionally, dissolution evaluation of the evogliptin component was conducted. The dissolution evaluation of evogliptin was conducted in a pH 1.2 solution, 37°C, 900 mL, and 50 rpm. Evogliptin must exhibit immediate release, so the dissolution rate must be at least 80% within 30 minutes. The results are shown in [Table 11] below.

[표 11]의 결과에서 확인할 수 있듯이 실시예 6, 11, 12 및 비교예 7의 제제 모두 함량은 100% 수준으로 적합하였으나, 2층부 중량이 작은 비교예 7의 경우 함량균일성이 좋지 않은 결과를 나타내었다.As can be seen from the results in [Table 11], the contents of all preparations of Examples 6, 11, 12 and Comparative Example 7 were suitable at the 100% level, but in the case of Comparative Example 7, where the weight of the second layer was small, the content uniformity was poor. indicated.
에보글립틴 용출 평가 결과를 통해 볼 때, 실시예 6, 11 및 12의 경우 모두 30분 용출률이 80% 이상의 속방 용출을 나타내었으나, 비교예 7의 경우 2층부의 두께가 너무 얇아져 상대적으로 1층부인 메트포르민 서방층과의 접촉 비율이 커짐에 따라 메트포르민 서방층의 서방화제의 영향으로 용출이 느려지는 것을 확인하였다.Looking at the results of evogliptin dissolution evaluation, in the case of Examples 6, 11, and 12, all showed immediate dissolution with a 30-minute dissolution rate of 80% or more, but in the case of Comparative Example 7, the thickness of the second layer was too thin, so it was relatively one layer. It was confirmed that as the contact ratio with the metformin sustained-release layer increased, dissolution slowed down due to the influence of the sustained-release agent of the metformin sustained-release layer.
실험예 5. 복합제의 단면 확인Experimental Example 5. Confirmation of cross section of composite agent
실시예 6 및 비교예 7의 복합제에 대하여 정제의 단면을 확인하였고, 이를 [도 2]에 나타내었다. [도 2]에서 확인할 수 있듯이, 에보글립틴 속방층의 경우 메트포르민 서방층보다 중량이 매우 작기 때문에 실제 단면에서도 매우 얇은 두께를 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있다. 특히, 비교예 7의 경우 매우 낮은 중량으로 메트포르민 서방층 위에 겨우 덮여 이러한 얇은 두께로 인해 좋지 않은 함량 균일성 및 낮은 용출을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.The cross-section of the tablets of the combination preparations of Example 6 and Comparative Example 7 was confirmed, and this is shown in [Figure 2]. As can be seen in [Figure 2], the weight of the evogliptin immediate-release layer is much less than that of the metformin sustained-release layer, so it can be seen that the actual cross-section shows a very thin thickness. In particular, in the case of Comparative Example 7, it was found that the metformin sustained-release layer was barely covered with a very low weight, showing poor content uniformity and low dissolution due to this thin thickness.
