ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
The release of therapeutically active agents from controlled release bases is extended by using a combination of a higher aliphatic alcohol and an acrylic resin as the base material.
Description
~2~ Ei33 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is known in the pharmaceutical art to prepare compo-sitions which provide for slow release of pharmacologically active substances contained in said compositions after oral administration to humans and animals. Such slow release compo-sition~ are used to delay absorption of a medicament until it has reached certain portions of the alimentary tract. Such controlled release of a medicament in the alimentary tract further maintains a desired concentration of said medicament in the blood stream for a longer duration than ~ould occur if conventional rapid release dosage forms are administered.
Slow release ~ormulations known in the art include specially coated pellets, coated tablets and capsule~ wherein the slow release o~ the active medicament is brouyht ahou~
through selective breakdown of the coating of the prepara~ion or through compounding with a ~pecial matrix to affect the release of a drug. Some slow release fo~mulations provide for related sequential release of a single dose of an active compound at predetermined periods after administration.
It is the intent of all slow release preparations to provide a longer period of pharmacologic response after the administration of the drug and is ordinarily exprienced after the administration of the rapid release do~age fonms. Such longer periods o~ response provides for many inherent thera~
peutic benefits that are not achieved with corresponding shor~ acting, immediate release preparations. ~hus, therapy may be continued wi~hout interrputing the sleep of the patient, which is of special importance when tre~ting an epileptic patient ~o preven~ nocturnal seizure~, or ~or those patient~
who experience migraine h~adaches o~ awakening, a~ well as ~or 3~
the debilitated patient for whom uninterrupted sleep is essenti~l.
Another critical role for extending acting medications is in therapy of cardiovascular diseases whereby optimal peak blood levels of a medicament must be maintained at ~he steady state level to achieve the de~ired therapeutic effect. Unless conventional rapid acting drug therapy is carefully administered at frequent intervals to maintain effective steady state blood levels of the drug, peaks and valleys in the blood level of the active drug occurs because o~ the rapid absorption, systemic excretion of the compound and through metabolic inactivation, thereby producing special problems in maintenance therapy of the patient. A further general advantage of longer acting drug preparations is improved patient complianc~ resulting from the avoidance of missed doses through patient forgetful-ness .
The prior art teaching of ~he preparation and use ofcompositions providing the ~low release of an active compound from a carrier is basically concerned with the release of the active substance into the phy~iologic 1uid o~ the alimentary tract. ~owever, it is generally recognize-l that the mere presence of an active substance in the gastrointestinal fluids does not, by itself~ insure bioavailability. Bioavailability, in a more meaningful sense, is the degree, or amount, to which a drug substance is absorbed to be available to a target tissue site after administration of a unit dosage form.
To be absorbed, and ac~ive drug substance must be in solution. The time required ~or a given proport~o~ of an active druy substance contained in unit dosage form to enter into solution in appropriate physiologic fluids is known as the dissolution. The dissolution time ~ an activ~ substance from a unit dosage form is determi~ed a~ the proportion of the amount of active drug substance released fxom a unit dosage form over a specified time ba~e by a test method conducted under standardized conditions. The physiologic fluids of the gastrointestinal tract are the media for determining dis-solution time~ The present state of the art recognizes many satisfactory test procedures to measure dissolution time fox pharmaceutical compositions, and these test procedures are described in o.ficial compendia world wide.
Although there are many diverse factors which influence the dissolution of a drug substance from its carrier, the dis-solution time determined for a pharmacologically active subs-tance from the specific composition is relatively constant and reproducible. Among the different factors affecting the dis-solution time are the surface area of the drug substance pre~
sented to the dissolution solvent medium, the pH of the solu~ion, the solubility of the suhstance in the specific solvent medium, and the driving force~ o~ the saturation concentration of dis-solved material~ in the solvent medium. Thus~ the dissolution concentration o~ an active drug sub~tance is dynamically modified in its steady state as components are removed ~rom the dissolution medium through absorption across the tissue site. Und~r physio-logic conditions, the saturation level of the dissolved materials is replenished from the dosage form reserve ~o mai~tain a rela-tively uniform and ~onstant dissolu~ion concen~ration in the solvent medium providing for a ~teady state absorption~ s The transport across a tissue ab~orption site of the gastrointestinal txact is influenced by the Donnan osmotic equilibrium forces on both sides of the membrane since the direction of the driving force is ~he differen~e between the concentrations of activ~ sub~tance on either sid~ of the mem~
~3-3~
brane, i.e. the amount dissolved in the gastrointestinal fluids and the amount present in the blood. Since the blood levels are constantly being modified by dilution, circulatory changes, tissue storage, metabolic conversion and systemic excretion, the flow of active m~terials is directed from the gastroi~testinal tract into th~ blood stream.
Notwithstanding the diver~e factors influencing both dissolution and ~bsorption of a drub substance a strong corre-lation has been established between the in-vitro dissolution time determined for a dosage form and the in-vivo bioavailabi-lity. This correlation is so firmly established in the art that dissolution time has become generally descriptive of bioavailability potential ~or the ac~ive component of the particular unit dosage composition. In view o this relation-ship, it i5 clear that the dissolution time determined for a composition is one of the important fundamental characteristics for consideration when evaluating ~low release compositions.
Slow release pharamceutical composi~ion~ have generally been prepared wi~h the su~tained release matrix comprising hydroxyalkyl cellulo~e components and higher allphatic alcohol~
as described in U.S. Patent No. 4,235,870. While ~uch sustalned release matrix composition~ have constituted a definite advance in the art, i~provments in these compositions have been sought~
and improvmen~s are particularly required where the actlve pharmaceu~ical material is highly water solubleO
SU~MARY OF THE INVENTION
It is accordingly a primary object o~ the present in-vention to provide or new sustained release bases which extend the time of release of active medicament.~ incorpora~ed therein.
~ ~3~
It is anothex ob~ect of the present invention to provide new sustained release bases for pharmaceutical compositions which provide extended release time for active medicaments, and which are particularly us~ful where the active medicament is highlv water soluble.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide sustained release base compositions which are useful for all types of pharmaceutically active ingredients and which can extend the time of release of all such ingredients.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the further reading of the specification and of the appended claims.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention mainly comprises composi*ions for controlled slow release of therapeutically active ingredients over a prede~er-mined or a specified period of time; comprising as the base composition a combination of a high~r aliphatic alcohol and an acrylic resin. Base compositions prepared from such higher aliphatic alcohols and acrylic resins provide ~ustained release of therapeutically active inqredients over a period of time ~rom ~ive hours and for as much as 24 hour~ after administration, generally oral administration, in humans or animals.
The bases o~ the prese~t in~ention are prepaxed from any pharmaceutically acceptable hiqher aliphatic alcohol/ the most preferred being fat~y alcohol~ o 10-18 carbon atoms, par~icular-ly stearyl alcohol, ce~yl alcohol, cetostearyl alcohol, lauryl alcohol, myristyl alcohol and mixture~ thereo~.
Any acrylic polymer which is phaxmaceutically acceptable can be used for ~he purposes of the presen~ invention. The acrylic polymers may be ca~ionictanionic or non~ionic polymers and may be acrylates, methacrylate~, formed of methacxylic acid 3~
or methacrylic acid esters. These polymers can be synthesized, as indicated above, to be cationic, anionic or non-ionic, which then renders the polymers that would be pH dependent and con-sequently soluble in, or resIstant to solutions over a wide range in pH. The most available of the acrylic polymers or the purposes of the present invention are ~hose that are marketed under the trade-~;u~ "~U~AGITi' and areavailable from Rohm Pharma. GmbM, Weiterstat, West Germany.
In preparing tablets or the like fxom the bases of the present invention, other excipients may be used, these being typically inert auxillary materials used in the art of tableting or capsule filling, and can include, for example, binders, such as polyvinyl pyrroldine, fillers, such as lactose, disintegrants, such as corn starch, and lubricants such as magnesium stearate.
In preparing the ma~rices o~ the presen~ invention, the two basic materials, namely the higher aliphatic alcohol and the acrylic resin, are combined together using a wet ~aqueous or ~rganic) granulation technique of at least one step, to form a uniform granulate together with any of the other excipient~
that are required ~or the table~ing or ~he capsule filling~ One or more therapeutic agents can be co~bined during the process of preparing the g~anulate, or mixed with the granulate after it is prepared.
The granulation is generally prepared ~sing the "wet"
granulating method, that is, most of the excipients with ~or without) the therapeu~ic agent or agen~ are combined together with a granulating ~luid until a moist granular mass is obtained.
The mass i5 then dried until only trace amounts of fluid remain in the granulate as residual mois~ur~. The granulate i5 then sized using a suitable screening device, which then provides a 10wable powder which can then be filled in~o cap3ule~ or com-~ 3 ~
pressed into mat.rix tablets or caplet3. It has u~expetedlybeen found that the combination of the higher aliphatic alcohol and the acrylic polymer ha~ a synergistic action with respect to delay ng the release of the therapeutically active ingredient. Thi~ phenomenon is of particular advantage when the active material is highly water soluble.
It has been observed that when desiring to control the release of some highly water soluble pharmacologically active ingredients, fox example oxycodone, rom conventional control-led release tablet matrices, a delay or gxadual release of such material can be di~icult to achieve. However, when such highly water soluble pharmacologically active material such as oxycodone is incorporated into the matrix system of the present invention, a controlled release of the material is clearly observable. The method usedto measure the control of release is the dissolution technique as descrihed in USP XXI.
In the composition of hiqher aliphatic alcohol and acrylic resin ~or controlled release bases in accordance with the present invention, the amount of acrylic resin is prefera~ly between 10-60~ (based on the total oE acrylic resin and aliphakic alcohol), more preferably 15-40%, and most preferably about 20-35%. All percentages are by weight.
It ha~ been found tha~ whe~ using ~he acrylic resins in combination with ~he higher alipha~ic alcohol, ~he preferred acrylic resin being those sold under the trade name ~udragitt and preferably the Eudr~git RL, RS, S, E30D, and L30D, there was unexpectedly a potentiation o~ the control of the dxug relea~e properties for the flow and controlled release of medicaments. This potentiation of action i5 particulax apparent in the case of the use of a highly water soluble therapeu~ic agent.
~29~
Using the combination o~ ~he aliphatic alcohol and acrylic resi.n as the base for therapeutic agents results in optimum control of drug release, utilizing the m~trix base of the present inv~ntion in a range o~ 20-40% by weight of the total weight of the selected dosage unit, and a delay in retardation of generally 5-12 hours, and up to 24 hours and be achieved. ~he lower part of the range of amount of base generally exhibits a release rate of 5 hours, and as the weight percentage of the controlled release base increases, the delay of drug release also increase~

The mass i5 then dried until only trace amounts of fluid remain in the granulate as residual mois~ur~. The granulate i5 then sized using a suitable screening device, which then provides a 10wable powder which can then be filled in~o cap3ule~ or com-~ 3 ~
pressed into mat.rix tablets or caplet3. It has u~expetedlybeen found that the combination of the higher aliphatic alcohol and the acrylic polymer ha~ a synergistic action with respect to delay ng the release of the therapeutically active ingredient. Thi~ phenomenon is of particular advantage when the active material is highly water soluble.
It has been observed that when desiring to control the release of some highly water soluble pharmacologically active ingredients, fox example oxycodone, rom conventional control-led release tablet matrices, a delay or gxadual release of such material can be di~icult to achieve. However, when such highly water soluble pharmacologically active material such as oxycodone is incorporated into the matrix system of the present invention, a controlled release of the material is clearly observable. The method usedto measure the control of release is the dissolution technique as descrihed in USP XXI.
In the composition of hiqher aliphatic alcohol and acrylic resin ~or controlled release bases in accordance with the present invention, the amount of acrylic resin is prefera~ly between 10-60~ (based on the total oE acrylic resin and aliphakic alcohol), more preferably 15-40%, and most preferably about 20-35%. All percentages are by weight.
It ha~ been found tha~ whe~ using ~he acrylic resins in combination with ~he higher alipha~ic alcohol, ~he preferred acrylic resin being those sold under the trade name ~udragitt and preferably the Eudr~git RL, RS, S, E30D, and L30D, there was unexpectedly a potentiation o~ the control of the dxug relea~e properties for the flow and controlled release of medicaments. This potentiation of action i5 particulax apparent in the case of the use of a highly water soluble therapeu~ic agent.
~29~
Using the combination o~ ~he aliphatic alcohol and acrylic resi.n as the base for therapeutic agents results in optimum control of drug release, utilizing the m~trix base of the present inv~ntion in a range o~ 20-40% by weight of the total weight of the selected dosage unit, and a delay in retardation of generally 5-12 hours, and up to 24 hours and be achieved. ~he lower part of the range of amount of base generally exhibits a release rate of 5 hours, and as the weight percentage of the controlled release base increases, the delay of drug release also increase~

The aminophy~line and P.V.P. were intimately mixed in a suitable mixing apparatus. The Eudragit RS ~in the case of tablets B a~d C) was dissolved in the acetone/isopropyl alcohol ~50:$0 ratio) which was used a~ the granulating ~luid.
Whilst the powders were mixing, the yranulating fluid was incorporated into the mixing powders until a moist granular mass wa~ obtained. This was then dxied and af~er drying screened throu~h a 12 mesh screen, The re~uirPd qua~ty of cetostearyl) alcohol was melted (at approxO 60-70) and using suitabl~ mixing appa~atus, then incorporated into ~he warm granular mass. After cooling, th~ granulate was screened again through a 12 mesh screen. The lubricants (talc~ magnesium stearate) were then mixed into the granulate.
- The tablet~ were compressed on a suitable tabletting machine using round biconvex tooling o~ 12/3~" in diameter.
