1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid, orally administrable pharmaceutical composition, comprising 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)-phenyl]-1,3-oxanzolidin-5-yl}-methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide in hydrophilized form, and its use for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases.
2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98.
5-Chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)-phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}-methyl-2-thiophenecarboxamide (I) is a low molecular weight, orally administrable inhibitor of blood clotting factor Xa, which can be employed for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of various thromboembolic diseases (for this see WO-A 01/47919, whose disclosure is hereby included by way of reference). If, below, the discussion is of the active compound (I), all modifications of 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)-phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}-methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide (I), and the respective hydrates are additionally included.
The active compound (I) has a relatively poor water solubility (about 7 mg/l). As a result of this, difficulties with the oral bioavailability and an increased biological variability of the absorption rate can result.
To increase the oral bioavailability, various concepts have been described in the past:
Thus, solutions of active compounds are frequently used which can be filled, for example, into soft gelatine capsules. On account of the poor solubility of the active compound (I) in the solvents used for this purpose, this option is not applicable, however, in the present case, since, in the necessary dose strength, capsule sizes would result which are no longer swallowable.
An alternative process is the amorphization of the active compound. Here, the solution method proves problematical, since the active compound (I) is also poorly soluble in pharmaceutically acceptable solvents such as ethanol or acetone. Amorphization of the active compound by means of the fusion method is also disadvantageous because of the high melting point of the active compound (about 230° C.), since an undesirably high proportion of breakdown components is formed during the preparation.
Furthermore, a process for the hydrophilization of hydrophobic active compounds as exemplified by hexobarbital and phenytoin has been described (Lerk, Lagas, Fell, Nauta, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 67, No. 7, July 1978, 935-939: “Effect of Hydrophilization of Hydrophobic Drugs on Release Rate from Capsules”; Lerk, Lagas, Lie-A-Huen, Broersma, Zuurman, Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences Vol. 68, No. 5, May 1979, 634-638: “In Vitro and In Vivo Availability of Hydrophilized Phenytoin from Capsules”). The active compound particles are blended here in a mixer with a methyl- or hydroxyethylcellulose solution with extensive avoidance of an agglomeration step and then dried. The active compound thus obtained is subsequently filled into hard gelatine capsules without further treatment.
Surprisingly, it has now been found that a special treatment of the surface of the active compound (I) in the course of the moist granulation brings about improved absorption behaviour. The use of the active compound (I) in hydrophilized form in the preparation of solid, orally administrable pharmaceutical compositions leads to a significant increase in the bioavailability of the formulation thus obtained.
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a solid, orally administrable pharmaceutical composition comprising 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)-phenyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}-methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide in hydrophilized form, in which
The moist granulation in process step (a) can be carried out in a mixer (=mixer granulation) or in a fluidized bed (=fluidized bed granulation); fluidized bed granulation is preferred.
In the moist granulation, the active compound (I) can either be introduced into the pre-mixture (original mixture) as a solid or it is suspended in the granulating liquid. Preferably, the active compound (I) suspended in the granulating liquid is introduced into the moist granulation (suspension process).
Not applicable.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the active compound (I) is employed in crystalline form.
In a particularly preferred embodiment of the present invention, the crystalline active compound (I) is employed in micronized form. The active compound (I) in this case preferably has an average particle size X50 of less than 10 μm, in particular between 1 and 8 μm, and X90 (90% proportion) of less than 20 μm, in particular of less than 15 μm.
The granulating liquid used according to the invention contains a solvent, a hydrophilic binding agent and, if appropriate, a wetting agent. The hydrophilic binding agent is in this case dispersed in the granulating liquid or preferably dissolved therein.
The solvents used for the granulating liquid can be organic solvents, such as, for example, ethanol or acetone, or water or mixtures thereof. Preferably, water is used as a solvent.
The hydrophilic binding agents employed for the granulating liquid are pharmaceutically suitable hydrophilic additives, preferably those which dissolve in the solvent of the granulating liquid.
Preferably, hydrophilic polymers such as, for example, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC), carboxymethylcellulose (sodium and calcium salts), ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), L-HPC (low-substituted HPC), polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, polymers of acrylic acid and its salts, vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers (for example Kollidon® VA64, BASF), gelatine, guar gum, partially hydrolysed starch, alginates or xanthan are employed here. Particularly preferably, HPMC is employed as a hydrophilic binding agent.
The hydrophilic binding agent can be present here in a concentration of 1 to 15%. (based on the total mass of the pharmaceutical composition), preferably of 1 to 8%.
The optionally present wetting agents employed for the granulating liquid are pharmaceutically suitable wetting agents (surfactants). The following may be mentioned, for example:
If required, the wetting agent is employed in a concentration of 0.1 to 5% (based on the total mass of the pharmaceutical composition), preferably of 0.1 to 2%.
In the pre-mixture (original mixture) of the moist granulation, further pharmaceutically suitable additives are present. The following may be mentioned, for example:
In the case of tablet formulations having modified (delayed) release of active compound, instead of the disintegration promoter (disintegrant) substances can be present which influence the release rate. The following may be mentioned, for example: hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose, methylcellulose, ethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, galactomannan, xanthan, glycerides, waxes, acrylic and/or methacrylic acid ester copolymers with trimethylammonium methylacrylate, copolymers of dimethylaminomethacrylic acid and neutral methacrylic acid esters, polymers of methacrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters, ethyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers or methacrylic acid-methyl acrylate copolymers.
The granules obtained in process step (a) are subsequently converted into the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention in process step (b).
Process step (b) comprises, for example, tabletting, filling into capsules, preferably hard gelatine capsules, or filling as sachets, in each case according to customary methods familiar to the person skilled in the art, if appropriate with addition of further pharmaceutically suitable additives.
Pharmaceutically suitable additives which may be mentioned are, for example:
The present invention further relates to a solid, orally administrable pharmaceutical composition, comprising 5-chloro-N-({(5S)-2-oxo-3-[4-(3-oxo-4-morpholinyl)-phenyl]1,3-oxazolidin-5-yl}-methyl)-2-thiophenecarboxamide (I) in hydrophilized form.
The solid, orally administrable pharmaceutical composition according to the invention by way of example and preferably comprises granules, hard gelatine capsules or sachets filled with granules, and tablets releasing the active compound (I) rapidly or in a modified (delayed) manner. Tablets are preferred, in particular tablets rapidly releasing the active compound (I). In the context of the present invention, rapid-release tablets are in particular those which, according to the USP release method using apparatus 2 (paddle), such as described in the experimental section in chapter 5.2.2., have a Q value (30 minutes) of 75%.
The active compound (I) can be present in the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention in a concentration of 0.1 to 60%, preferably in a concentration of 1 to 40%, based on the total mass of the formulation. Here, the dose of the active compound (I) is preferably 1 to 100 mg.
If appropriate, the granules of tablets according to the invention are coated in a further step under customary conditions familiar to the person skilled in the art. The coating is carried out with addition of customary coating and film-forming agents familiar to the person skilled in the art, such as hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylcellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, vinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers (for example Kollidon® VA64, BASF), shellac, acrylic and/or methacrylic acid ester copolymers with trimethylammonium methylacrylate, copolymers of dimethylaminomethacrylic acid and neutral methacrylic acid esters, polymers of methacrylic acid or methacrylic acid esters, ethyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymers, methacrylic acid-methyl acrylate copolymers, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, glycerol triacetate, triethyl citrate and/or colour additives/pigments such as, for example, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, indigotin or suitable colour lakes.
The present invention further relates to the use of the pharmaceutical composition according to the invention for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of diseases, in particular of thromboembolic diseases such as cardiac infarct, angina pectoris (including unstable angina), reocclusions and restenoses after an angioplasty or aortocoronary bypass, cerebral infarct, transitory ischemic attacks, peripheral arterial occlusive diseases, pulmonary embolisms or deep venous thromboses.
The invention is illustrated in greater detail below by means of preferred exemplary embodiments, to which, however, it is not restricted. If not stated otherwise, all quantitative data below relate to percentages by weight.

Result: In spite of slower disintegration (see 5.2.1) and very similar in-vitro release (see 5.2.2) of tablet B in comparison to tablet A, tablet B has marked advantages in absorption and thus a bioavailability increased by about 35%. At the same time, a marked decrease in the variability is to be noted. The only difference between tablet A and tablet B is the hydrophilization of the active compound (I) in tablet B with the aid of the suspension process in the course of the moist granulation.
