Description

~2~

A MEDICINE BASED ON FENOFIB~ATE, AND A METHOD OF PREPARING IT
The present invention relates to a medicine based on fenofibrate, and also to a method of preparing it.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is recalled that fenofibrate is isopropyl para-(4-chlorobenzoyl)-pehnoxyisobutyrate. In the present application, the term "fenofibrate and its derivatives" is usad -to designa-te compounds having formula I:
~ CH3 10 (I) R1 - CO ~ O - C CO - Y
R3 (~H3 in which:
R1 represents a phenyl group or a phenyl group substituted by one or more -CH3, CF3 or by halogens (in 15 particular fluorine, chlorine, or bromine);
R2 and R3 independently represent a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom (preferably fluorine, chlorine, or bromine), an alkyl or an alkoxy group having 1 to 5 C or one of the following groups: -CF3, -SCH3, -SOCH3, -S02CH3, or -OH; and Y represents one of the following groups: -OH; inferior alkoxy, preferably in Cl - C4; -NR~Rs; -NHCH2C~l2NR4Rs; or -O-alkylene-NR4Rs, with the alkylene having, in particular, two-to six atoms of carbon, and with R4 and Rs being identical or different and each representing a hydrogen atom or one of the 25 following groups: Cl - Cs alkyl, C3 - C7 and preferably Cs - C6 cycloalkyl; aryl or aryl substituted on the aromatic residue by one or more halogen~ methylr or CF3 groups; or else R4 and Rs constitute, together with the nitrogen atom to which they are connected, one of the following groups: either an n-hetero~
30 cyclic group having 5 to 7 vertices capable of enclosing a second hetero-atom selected from N, O, and S, and capable of being substituted; or else an amide residue derived from lysine or cysteine.
Naturally, the expression "fenofibrate and its derivatives"
also covers the salts that can be obtairled from compounds of formula 1 by adding pharmaceutically acceptable acids.

3~

Fenofibrate is used in the treatment of adult endegenous hyperlipidasmia, hypercholesterolaemia, and hypertrigylcerid-aemia. Thus, in an adult be:ing treated with 300 to 400 mg per day of fenofibrate, there can be observed a 20% to 25~
5 reduction in cholesterolaemia and a 40% to 50% reduction in triglyceridaemia.
The unaltered substance is not found in plasma. The ma~or plasmatic metabolite is fenofibric acid.
On average, the maximum concentration in plasma i~ reached 10 five hours after taking the medicine. The average concentration in plasma is about 50 micrograms/ml for a dose of 300 mg o~
fenofibrate per day. This level is stable throughout continuous treatment.
Fenofibric acid is strongly bound -to plasmatic albumin and 15 can displace antivitamins K from protein fi~ing sites and potentialize their anticoagulant effect.
The half-life for eliminating fenofibric acid from plasma is about twenty hours.
Under these conditions, it will be understood that there 20 is no need to take it more than once a day.
It has been observed that fenofibrate has poor solubility in aqueous liquids, theraby giving rise to non~uniform absorption in the digestive tube, and in accordance with the present invention a galenical preparation has been devised 25 which considerably improves absorption by the digestive tube.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a medicine based on fenofibrate and in the form of granules, each granule comprising an inert core, a layer based on fenofibrate, and a 30 protective layer. In the layer based on fenofibrate, the fenofibrate is present in -the form of crystalline microparticles of dimensions not greater than 30 microns, and preferably less than 10 microns.
In accordance with the present invention, this structure 35 is obtained by a method includiny a step of pro;ecting a damp and s-ticky outer layer onto the inert cores, followed by a step of projecting fenofibrate microparticles onto the damp layer with the dampness being rapidly evaporated in order to prevent it from dissolvlng the fenofibrate microparticles while never-tha-less ~ixing said feno~ibrate microparticles onto the cores, with said two steps being repeated until a su~ficient quantity 5 of fenofibrate has been fixed onto the cores.
The damp and s-ticky layer may advantageously be constituted by a solution of a polymer in alcohol or by an aqueous suspen-sion o~ the polymer, and the alcohol solution may be prepared using alcohols which are commonly used ln pharmacology.
MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION
There follows a description, by way of example, of the manufacture of one embodiment of a medicine in accordance with the present invention.
Inert grains for forming the inert cores are prepared in 15 conventional manner. For example, each grain may be a sucrose crystal having a diameter of 0.3 mm. A suspension of maize starch is sprayed onto the crystals, the suspension comprising 27~ by weight of maize starch in a hot sugar solution (prepared, for example, by dissolving 73 kg of sugar in 32 kg 20 of water: 27 kg starch, 73 kg sugar, 32 kg water). The sugar solution is pro~ected at 50C into a turbine which is itself heated to 50C. The ~uantity projected is adjusted so that the diameter o~ each grain increases from 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm, with the grain having about 25~ by weight starch and about 75%
25 sucrose, once the water has evaporated ~rom the sugar solution.
Thereafter, the inert cores are rotated in a turbine and they are dampened with an alcohol solution containing 12.5% by weight of a methacrylic polymer ~95 alcohol). The grains become damp and stick~. Fenofibrate powder is then pro~ected 30 onto them, with the powder being obtained by crushing feno~ibrate crystals until microparticles are obtained. A
typical powder haR the following partical size distribution:
100% < 30 microns 99.5% < 20 microns 98~ < 10 microns 88% < 5 microns.
The grains are then immediately dried very rapidly in order to :~?J~ lL9~

prevent the alcohol from having enough time to dissolve the feno~brate (a flow of air is passed through the turbine).
This avoids destroying the microparticulate structure which offers a considerable area for encouraging absorption. A
5 singl0 thickness of microparticles ls thus deposited on the sticky grain where the micropartiales are fixed b~ adherence.
The operations of dampening-pro~ecting-drying may be performed in about one or two minutes. These operations of dampening the core and projecting micropartlcles are repea-ted until all of 10 the powder has b~en incorporated.
Finally, a protec-tive coatlng is applied, e.g. a thin layer of methacrylic pol~ner, representing about 1% by weight of each granule.
~ ranules obtained in this way are pu-t into capsules, with 15 a dose of 250 mg of fenofibra-ts per capsule.
The fenofibrate layer structure is similar to that of a sponge, with the pores containing microparticles of fenofibrate.
The sponge is constituted by a binder which is soluble in an aqueous medium: methacrylate or polyvinylpyrolidone. Once the 20 binder has dissolved, the microparticles of fenofibrate are released and can present their entire areas to the process of absorption in the intestinal aqueous medium.
One example of fonnulation is as follows:
- fenofibrate : 400 kg inert grains : 110 kg (sugar and/or starch) polyvinylpyrolidone and/or methaoryla-te : 20 kg Of the last 20 kg, about 5 kg are used for making the protective envelope (about 1~ of the total weigh-t) and the 30 remainder (about 15 kg) is used for binding the microparticles of fenofibrate, with alcohol belng used temporarily as the solvent.
The quantity of binder is determined so that at least 55 of the fenofibrate is released in one hour in a water based 35 liquid medium.
This fraction can be measured as follows: the contents of a capsule is placed in a flask containing 35 ml of a medium .; .

311~

having a pH of 1~5. The flask is stirred at 30 rpm and at 37C. After stirring for one hour, the percentage of feno-fibrate -that has been released from the galenical preparation in accordance with the invention is greater than 65~.
Composition of the mediurn:
118 ml normal hydrochloric acid 84 ml solution of normal sodium hydroxide distilled water: enough -to obtain 1000.0 ml of medium.
The pH of the medium lies between 1.45 and 1.55.
Medicines in accordance with the invention have also shown reductions in variability of blood concentrations both inter and intra patien-t (i.e. on the same patient or between different patients).
