2. Description of Related Art It is of significant advantage to both the patient and clinician that medication be formulated so that it may be administered in a minimum number of daily doses from which the drug is uniformly released over a desired, extended period of time. Various techniques have been developed for the purpose of including a pharmaceutical preparation comprising a drug-containing particle with a coating layer and a pharmaceutical preparation comprising a continuous matrix with a drug dispersed therein, such as embedded into a rigid lattice of resinous material. In these pharmaceutical preparations, the coating layer or matrix comprises a substance insoluble, or hardly soluble, in aqueous body fluids, and the release of the drug is controlled by means of the resistance of said coating layer r~o t x. 't~ e: ~ ;,~
or matrix against the diffusion of the drug therethrough.
Such pharmaceutical preparations are characterized in that the particles used in making the matrix, are made as hardly disintegratable as possible. The release of the drug .from such pharmaceutical preparations is driven by the gradient of the drug concentration resulting from penetration of water by diffusion into the formulation. In this made of release, at the latter stage of release, the rate of the release is described by Fick ° s Iaw, that is, the rate of release decreases due to the decrease in the concentration gradient and the increase in the distance of the diffusion.

~'sl9osol U.S. Patent 4,610,870 to ;LAIN et a1. discloses a controlled release pharmaceutical formulation which approaches zero order release of active drug, which is provided preferably in 'the form of a coated tablet, containing a core portion from which medicament, such as procainamide hydrochloride, is slowly released over a controlled length of time. The core also includes one or more hydrocolloid gelling agents having a viscosity of within the range of from about 10,000 to about 200,000 centipoises in 2~ solution at 20°C, such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and/or methylcellulose, one or more non-swellable binders and/or wax binders (where the medicament and/or hydrocolloid gelling agents are non-compressible), one or more inert fillers or excipients, one or more lubricants, and optionally one or mare antiadherents such as silicon dioxide and water.
Enteric-coated preparations are also referred to as another type of sustained release preparation. The release of the drug from an enteric-coated preparation is delayed by providing a coating layer soluble only after arrival at the intestine, that is after the pharmaceutical preparation passes through the stomach, and the extent of this delay is determined by the rate at which the pharmaceutical preparation is generally discharged from the stomach into the intestine. By combining an enteric portion with a usable portion soluble in the stomach, the release of the drug can be rendered continuously.
U.S. Patent 4,095,46'7 to UEMURA et al. relates to a sustained release tablet which comprises easily disintegrable granules containing (a) a drug, (b) a disintegrating agent selected from the group consisting of starch derivatives, gums, cellulose derivatives and ion-exchange resins, arid (c) a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of cellulose derivatives, synthetic water soluble polymers and polysaccharides, the ~ ';3a.a9 surfaces of which granules are treated with a wax selected from the group consisting of plant or animal wax, hydrogenated oils and paraffin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, an extended release pharmaceutical formulation is prepared which is capable of approaching zero order release of drug over a 12 to at least 24 hour period. The formulations of the present invention are composed of a mixture of 0 to 50~ of an immediate release particle containing a core of drug, inert spherical substrate particles and binder, coated with talc and up to 100% of an extended release particle comprising the immediate release particle coated with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizers and a film forming agent, wherein tine particle size of the extended release formulation is -10+60 mesh.
The drugs used in the formulations of the invention may be selected from a wide variety of pharmaceutical formulations with particular pharmaceutical compounds being analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antihistamines, antitussives, expectorants, decongestants, narcotics, antibiotics, bronchodilators, cardiovasculars, central nervous system (CNS) drugs, metal salts, minerals, vitamins and mixtures thereof.
Another embodiment of the invention involves a process for preparing an extended release pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration which comprises:
a) forming a core material by spraying a solvent containing a dissolved binder onto a mixture of at least one drug and inert spherical substrate particles:
b) drying the resulting mixture to form a core material and coating the core material with talc;
c) coating the immediate release particles by spraying the particles with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizer and film forming agent to form an 6 ~ !~ : i .I,s P:3190S01 extended release pharmaceutical :formulation8 and d) recoverine~ the formed extended release pharmaceutical formulation having sizes from --10-f-60 mesh, U.S. Standard sieve size.
Tn an alternate embodiment, the invention involves orally administering to a mammal the extended pharmaceutical formulation to enable a 12 to at least 24 hour drug release therapy to be achieved.
Another embodiment of the invention involves the administration of organic nitrates which have been used for over a century by physicians for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Organic nitrates function as relaxants of smooth muscle and especially as dilators of blood vessels. As such, they are used in the treatment of angina pectoris, in which dilation of the coronary vasculature improves myocardial blood flow and oxygen delivery. A second mechanism of action in angina is the reduction of peripheral resistance due to relaxation of veins and arterioles, reducing cardiac workload, and, therefore, myocardial oxygen demand. In the treatment of congestive heart failure, dilation of the pulmonary vasculature results in increased blood return to the heart and decreased cardiac preload and afterload, leading to improved cardiac output.
Nitroglycerin, which has been the traditional mainstay in the acute treatment of angina, is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but has an extremely short plasma half-life due to extensive first-pass metabolism. These pharmacokinetics have led to the use of nitroglycerin as a short-acting nitrate. Tn this sense, and because o.f its low vapor pressure, nitroglycerin is often used sublingually to reverse attacks of acute angina.
Development of a controlled-release, long-acting nitroglycerin formulation, however, has been impeded mainly because of the phar~acokinetics and low vapor pressure of a~~.~~ a~~i nitroglyceri.rz. For example, attempts to solve these problems with oral or transdermal patch preparations have led to formulations which extend delivery of active drug for up to twenty--four hours. ~ serious disadvantage associated with conventional extended delivery formulations, however, is that continually elevated levels of serum nitrates induce tolerance and reduce drug efficacy within a relatively short time.
The present invention, therefore, is also directed to a controlled-release formulation which can be administered orally, once per day, causing therapeutic serum levels for about eighteen hours, thus effectively achieving anginal prophylaxis without induction of tolerance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The extended release pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention comprise from 0 to 50% of an immediate release particle containing a core of at least one drug; and up to 100% of an extended release particle which comprises the immediate release particle additionally coated with a dissolution modifying system and optionally additional drug.
The immediate release particles contain a core of at least one drug, inert spherical substrate particle and binder which is coated with talc. The immediate release particles have a preferred size of -10+60 U.S. Standard mesh size. With regard to the extended release particles, such particles comprise the aforementioned immediate release particles with an additional coating of a PS190S01 ~ ~. ~ e~ t' dissolution modifying system comtaa.ning pl.astic.xzers and a film forming agent, which particles likewise have a preferred particle size of -l0+60 U.S. Standard mesh sieve size.
The immediate release particle corntaining drug, inert spherical substrate and binder can be prepared i.n any conventional manner known for producing particles. For example, they may be produced in a conventional coating pan or other equipment, such as a rotor-granulator, merumerizer or fluidized bed spray coater.
In a preferred procedure, the inert spherical substrate is placed in a coating apparatus and the solid particles of pharmaceutical (drug) product are fed into the apparatus while being sprayed with a solution containing the binder. The binder, when applied, results in the formation of particles which may then be easily coated with a talc coating which is likewise mixed with the core particles and adhered with a coating solution, preferably the same solution used above.
A wide variety of medicaments which are orally administered both in tablet, capsule and particulate form may be used to prepare the particles according to this invention. These include drugs from all major categories, and without limitation, for example, analgesics, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, voltaren (U.S. Patent 3,652,762), phenacetin and salicylamide; anti- inflammatories selected from the group consisting of naproxen and indomethacin; antihistamines, such as chlorpheniramine maleate, phenindamine tartrate, pyrilamine maleate, doxylamine succinate, phenyltoloxamine citrate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, promethazine, brompheniramine maleate, dexbrompheniramine maleate, clemastine fumerate and triprolidine~ antitussive selected from the group consisting of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and guaifenesin; expectorants such as guaifenesint ~'~~~.~.~.iv°.a~i GJ
decongestants, such as phenylephrine hydrochloride, phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, ephedrine: narcotics, such as morphine, and codeine and their derivatives, such as oxycodone and hydromorphone; antibiotics such as erythromycin, penicillins and cephalosporins and their derivativeso bronchodilators such as theophylline, albuterol and terbutaline: cardiovascular preparations such as diltiazem, propranolol, nifedepine and clonidine, and organic nitrates such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide 5-mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate; central nervous system drugs such as thioridazine, , diazepam, meclizine, ergoloid mesylates, chlorpromazine, carbidopa and levodopa; metal salts such as potassium chloride, and lithium carbonate; minerals selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, molybdenum and potassium; and vitamins selected from water-soluble vitamins such as B complex, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Particularly preferred dosage forms involve use of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride; pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and chlorpheniramine maleatel and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride and chlorpheniramine maleate, all of which have been found to exhibit the following dissolution rangesa Hour 1 0 - 50%
Hour 8 50 - 80%
Hour 12 NLT 65%
It should be recognized that these drugs are representative and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The drugs are employed in amounts to provide a therapeutically effective dose and are preferably present in amounts of about 4 to about 85% by weight of the final formulation, and most preferably from about 40 to about 55% by weight.
when small amounts of a particular drug are used, that fi ~, ~ .~. ~ ,.> r:>
is amounts below about 50 mg per dosage form, (either alone or in combination with other drtags) it is adtrantagaous to employ aI1 Optional carrier to aid in uniformly di.stribut.ing the drug throughout the dosage fox-m. Such carriers assist in bulking the drug to make it easier to be applied to the inert substrate. Exemplary carriers include sugar, lactose, gelatin, starch, and silicon dioxide. When employed, they are present in amounts of about 0.01 to about 15~ by weight of the final product.
The immediate release particle core additionally contains an inert spherical substrate particle which aids in the diffusion/release of the drug from the formulation.
The inert spherical substrate particles should be of the same general size so that the rate of drug release is not variable. In general, smaller particles result in rapid diffusion of drug, whereas larger particles result in a delay of drug diffusion. Suitable materials may be selected from sugar spheres and other substances which would not modify the drug release pattern or be reactive with the active component, such as non-toxic plastic resin beads. The inert spherical substrate particles are employed in the core of the immediate release particles in amounts of about 15 to about 40~ by weight, and preferably in amounts of about 20 to about 35~ by weight of the total formulation.
The drug adheres to the inert spherical substrate particle through a binding agent which is preferably applied by a suitable solvent. Water is the preferred solvent for water-soluble binders, whereas organic solvents are used with organic soluble binders. Binders may be selected from a wide range of materials such as hydroxypropylmethylcell.ulose, ethylcellulose, or other suitable cellulose derivatives, povidone, acrylic and methacrylic acid co-polymers, or pharmaceutical glaze.
Exemplary solvents are water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, 4 /, :~ ,L'd 1 ': A ~'1 ~~~q t~~~::~tt methvlene chloride or mixtures and combinations 'thereof.
The binders are generally employed in small amounts which are just suitable to retain the drug on the inert spheres. Useful amounts may vary from about 0.5 to about 4% by weight, and preferably from about 1 to about 2% by weight of the total formulation.
The binder is preferably applied to the drug and inert spherical substrate in solution form. This may be achieved by dissolving the binder in either water or a suitable organic solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. When used as a solution, the solution generally contains from about 2 to about 25% binder and remainder solvent.
Once the initial core material has been prepared, it is important to dry the material prior to it being coated with a coating layer of talc. This may be conveniently done by passing air over the particles, or by simply pan drying overnight. After the core has been dried, it is mixed with powdered talc and again sprayed with the binder solution, as described above to coat the core with the talc. The talc is generally employed in amounts suitable to prepare the surface of the particles to receive the dissolution modifying system coat, to prevent the drug layer from interfering with film formation on the particles and to prevent drug migration during storage. This is achieved by using amounts of talc of about 4 to about 20%
and preferably of about 5 to about 18% by weight of the final product.
After the talc is applied, the resulting product is dried and classified by size to recover particles having sizes from -10+60 mesh, U.S. Standard mesh size. This particle size is essential to prepare an extended release particle that functions properly in the inventive formulations.
The resulting product comprises a talc coating adhered ~~~.~~i) ay'r P8190S0~
to a core particle campy icing the inert spherical ~ ubstrate layered with the active pharmaceutical. compound.
The extended release particles of the invention are then prepared by taking the immediate release particles and coating them with a dissolution modifying system which functions as a diffusion membrane around the coated core.
The dissolution modifying system contains a plasticizer and a film forming agent which is applied by spraying the immediate release particles with about 2 to about 35% by weight of the dissolution modifying system coating.
The dissolution modifying system is designed to encapsulate the particles and modify the drugs dissolution profile so that a sustained/extended drug release rate is obtained. In other words, the system is formulated to each drug profile to permit a release of the drug from the particles over a 12 to at least 24 hour period.
The rate of release of the pharmaceutical formulation may be described according to standardized dissolution testing procedures as found in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXIT, where less than 50% of the drug is released within 1 hour of measurement and not less than 70% of the drug is released at the targeted dosing period, such as a 12 to at least 24 hour period.
The plasticizers used in the dissolution modifying system are preferably previously dissolved in an organic solvent and applied in solution form. Preferred plasticizers may be selected from the group consisting of diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate, triethyl citrate, crotonic acid, propylene glycol, butyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, castor oil and mixtures thereof. As is evident, the plasticizers may be hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic in nature. Water-insoluble hydrophobic agents, such as diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate and castor oil are used to delay the release of water-soluble drugs, such as potassium chloride. In contrast, hydrophilic plasticizers ~~:~~ 3 ~r:
~>amasol are used when water-insoluble drugs are employed which aid in dissolving the encapsulating film, making channels in the surface, which aid in drug release. In 'this regard, a system can be tailored to a particular drug which will be able to form or not form pores to permit the proper drug release profile to be achieved.
The plasticizers are generally employed in amounts of about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of the total formulation.
If too much is employed in a particular modifying system the drug will release too quickly from the structure. In contrast, if not enough is employed, the coating may not be strong enough and it becomes brittle.
The film forming agents, which are also preferably employed in a spraying solution along with the plasticizes, may be selected from a wide variety of film forming materials. Preferable materials, however, may be selected from the group consisting of acrylic and methacrylic acid copolymers and cellulose derivatives. Exemplary cellulose derivatives include ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, cellulose acetate, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose and mixtures thereof. The film forming agents are employed in amounts of about 0.5 to about 25% by weight of the total formulation.
Furthermore, the dissolution membrane system may include porosity modifying agents, such as talc and salts of fatty acids, such as calcium stearate. Useful amounts of up to about 25% by weight of the final product have been found effective when used. Once the extended release particles are formed, they are dried by removing the solvents by conventional drying means, such as pan drying or air drying. Once the particles are prepared and dried, they are removed from the coating pan or fluidized bed spraying apparatus, and passed through an appropriate screen in order to recover the material that is sized ~~ fl ~3 ~~:.1~~ ..
between -10-x-60 mesh, U.S. Standard siE:ve. The coating membrane may also include additional amounts of drug beyond that present in the core or different drug which may be incompatible with the core drug.
It should be noted that the particle size of the particles which are used in finally preparing the invention particles can have a significant impact an the release rate of the drug. In particular it is essential to use starting components of drug and inert carriers which have mesh sizes greater than 200 mesh. Such sizes aid in offering various advantages. First, they assist in making hard granules which improves the binding characteristics of the matrix.
Secondly, the particle size effects the final product particle size which can greatly influence the rate at which the polymer hydration or gel formation occurs in the capsule, tablet or particle surface. In general, particle sizes outsides the ranges disclosed herein are unsuitable for preparing an extended release pharmaceutical formulation.
~y employing the formulations of the invention, one is able to achieve an extended release system which is a dynamic system composed of wetting, hydrating and dissolution components. At the same time, other soluble materials or drugs will also wet, dissolve and diffuse out of the matrix while insoluble materials will be held in place until the surrounding encapsulation layer, erodes or dissolves away.
The extended release pharmaceutical formulations of this invention exhibit dissolution patterns which result in the reduction of various side effects associated with the normal use of such drugs. For example, cough/cold formulations containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are known to cause central nervous system disorders, such as enhanced agitation and insomnia. Such formulations when used according to the invention show significantly reduced ~~ _~ 'i.i~ ~~.~ '.' c.!
~d ~sl~asol side effects. Tn the case of potassium chloride which is a known gastrointestinal irritant, such irritation is significantly reduced when the metal salt is administered using the system of this invention. These same unexpected advantages would be expected to occur with the other pharmaceutical drugs and materials that are useful herein.
The extended release pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention may be comprised of two main components:
the immediate release particles and extended release particles. The immedi.a~te release particles and extended release particles may be blended together and filled into hard gelatin capsules or formed into tablets with standard equipment.
A particularly preferred extended release pharmaceutical formulation according to the invention is comprised of a mixture of:
a) 0 to about 50% of an immediate release particle containing about 15 to about 40% by weight inert spherical substrate particle, about 0.5 to about 4% binder and about 4 to about 75% of at least one drug and a coating comprising about 4 to about 20% talc: and b) up to 100% of an extended or controlled release particle comprising an immediate release granule of a) coated with a dissolution modifying system comprising about 0.5 to about 25% film forming agent, about 0.01 to about 5% plasticizer and up to 25% modifying agent, all percents herein are by weight of the final product.
Batch sizes may vary depending on the capacity and type of equipment used. Quantities of ingredients likewise can be varied with specified ranges to assure that the product meets the desired dissolution and potency characteristics. The following procedure describes one set of conditions and is not intended to be limiting thereto.
Another preferred controlled-release pharmaceutical formulation according to the invention uses an organic nitrate farmulation far once°per-day oral administration which achieves a therapeutically effective level of the drug at least one organic nitrate, while effecting a drug holiday towards a latter pardon of the daily dosing period so as not to induce tolerance.
Any organic nitrate within reason for 'treating a human mammal may be utilized in the formulation. Preferably, the arganic nitrate is nitroglycerin, isosorbide 5-mononitrate, isosorbide d:initrate, or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, the organic nitrate may be in the form of a triturate with lactose and/or mannitol. For example, the nitroglycerin triturate can include 1-2o percent by weight nitroglycerin, the isosorbide 5-mononitrate triturate can include about 5-100 percent by weight isosorbide 5-mononitrate, and the isosorbide dinitrate triturate can include about 1 to 90 percent by weight isosorbide dinitrate.
The rate of release of the organic nitrate formulation may be described according to standardized dissolution testing procedures. In this regard, when the organic nitrate is nitroglycerin, the rate of release of the nitroglycerin from the formulation is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the nitroglycerin as measured in vitro in a basket assembly according to U.S.
Pharmacopoeia XXI, wherein less than 30~ of the nitroglycerin is released after 1 hour of measurement, less than 40% of the nitroglycerin is released after 12 hours of measurement, and less than 90~ of the nitroglycerin is released after 24 hours of measurement. When the organic nitrate is isosorbide 5-mononitrate triturate, the rate of release of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate as measured in vitro according to dissolution testing in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI Apparatus II, paddle method, in a 7.5 pH phosphate buffer, wherein lass than 30~ of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate is released ,;

When the organic nitrate is isosorbide dinitrate, the rate of release of the isosorbide dinitrate is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the isosorbide dinit.rate as measured in vitro according to dissolution testing in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI Apparatus II, paddle method, in a 7.5 pH phosphate buffer, wherein less than 30%
of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 1 hour of measurement, less than 75% of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 8 hours of measurement, and less than 100%
of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 16 hours of measurement.
A preferred process for preparing the formulations of this invention may be described as follows:
1. Preparation of Core Material Suitable amounts of drug are weighed and pulverized so that the mesh size is greater than 200 mesh. The solution of binder is prepared by mixing a suitable binder, into a suitable solvent. The inert spherical substrate particles (such as sugar spheres) are placed in a suitable coating pan. The pharmaceutical drug is added to the pan and the binder solution is sprayed onto the mixture. The spray system should be designed such that the solution is sprayed at a controlled rate over a designated period of time.
This process is controlled until all of the active powder has been applied in each pan. The core particle is then dried.
2. Application of Talc Coat After the core has been dried, powdered talc is added to the core and mixed, whereupon a second spray solution is applied to result in the coating of the core with the talc.
Once the talc has been applied, the particles are removed P8190S01 ~~'~'~~~j'' and dried :in a suitable dryer, such as an a.ir dryer, at ambient to 80°C for a minimum of 6 hours. The granules are then passed through a suitab7.e sizing sieve in order to isolate those particles having mesh sizes of -10+60 mesh.
3. Application of Dissolution ~Iodifyinr~ Coati.nrx A portion of the immediate release granules obtained from the prior procedure are placed in a suitable coating pan. They are then optionally dry mixed with powdered talc and an optional lubricant, such as calcium stearate. Once blended, the admixture is sprayed with the encapsulation solution containing the plasticizes and film forming agent.
An exemplary system would include ethylcellulose as the film forming agent, isopropyl alcohol, and methylene chloride as solvents, and diethyl phthalate as the pl.asticizer, for water-soluble drugs such as pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The amount of powdered talc and calcium stearate applied to the immediate release particles will vary depending on the drug release profile desired. After coating and drying of the extended release particles, the particles are again sized and those particles falling between -10 and +60 mesh are recovered.
The samples recovered are submitted to analytical assay for potency, extended release pattern and residual solvent testing. Based upon the assay report and sustained release pattern, additional extended release coatings may be applied.
4. Product Formulation Based upon the assay results and total drug activity and controlled release pattern, the appropriate amounts of immediate and extended release particles are mixed to achieve the desired activity and release pattern. The formulation may be then tableted with well known and suitable excipients and filler materials, or filled in capsules such as hard gelatin capsules by well-known means.
P8190S01 r~a.
Clearly, i.f based on activity and release pattern, a greater release is required during the early hours, additional immediate release particles of from 0 to 50% by weight may be blended with the extended release particles which are present in amounts up to 100 by weight or if less release is required, the immediate release particles can be blended with additional extended release particles to reduce the proportion of immediate release particles that are present.
The formulations of the invention are administered orally to mammals in suitable amounts to achieve the drug efficacy sought. When administered in proper dosage forms, the formulations axe able to deliver the drugs in zero order release rates to achieve from about 12 to 24 hours drug delivery.
Additionally, the invention is directed to a method of treating mammals, including man, by the once-per-day oral administration of the drug by orally administering once during each 24 hour time period a controlled--release formulation. When using an organic nitrate for example, the film forming polymer permits release of the organic nitrate from the formulation, over a daily dosing period, at a rate that achieves a therapeutically effective level of the organic nitrate, while effecting a drug holiday towards a latter portion of the daily dosing period so as not to induce tolerance.
The treating of. the human mammal may be for the treatment of congestive heart failure, systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathic heart,. valvular heart disease, vasospastic disease, congenital heart disease, or esophageal spasms. Relating to this, clinical studies have shown that 'the product is therapeutically efficacious, preventing or delaying the onset of chest pain for at least eighteen hours after a single daily dose.

Controlled release potassium chloride by this invention as hereinafter described was tested in 3S humans in a four- way parallel study to determine the average fecal blood loss from each product. In order to demonstrate maximum safety, the product by this invention was dosed at four 'times the level of potassium chloride as the commercial products tested per dosing interval, yet indicating significant reduction in gastrointestinal to irritation.
Human Studies A. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN/METHODS
The effect on gastrointestinal blood loss of orally administered inventive potassium chloride capsules, Micro-KR capsules, Slow-KR tablets, aspirin and placebo was investigated in a study on humans.
The subjects were 40 healthy Caucasian males;
they ranged in age from 18-55 years. On the basis of a history and laboratory and physical examinations performed 2o within two weeks of study initiation, it was concluded that all subjects met all study admission criteria.
The subjects were sequestered for the duration of the study, and a parallel design was employed. During two treatment periods (each seven days long, the first of which was preceded by a three-day period during which treatment was withheld), the subjects received appropriate daily oral doses of placebo and then one of the test drugs. Each subject collected his 24-hour stool sample and delivered the samples to laboratory personnel each day. Blood samples were obtained from each subject at weekly intervals. The subjects were provided with a standardized diet, were told not to use drugs other than those dispensed to them by laboratory personnel, and were given a soft toothbrush.
B. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Thirty-eight of the 40 subjects completed the study as scheduled; two of the subjects left the study site early, on study day 18 (after providing the scheduled blood sample). Daily fecal blood volumes averaged 0.28 and 0.52, 0.28 and 0.50, 0.36 and 0.54, and 0.40 and 6.63 ml during periods of treatment with placebo and inventive potassium chloride capsules, placebo and Slow-KR tablets, placebo and Micro-KR capsules, and placebo and Aspirin*, respectively. The results observed during periods of treatment with Aspirin* validate the methodology.
Statistical analysis revealed that the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with placebo did not differ from each other, that the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with the three potassium chloride formulations did not differ from each other (despite the fact that the fractional doses of Micro-KR capsules and Slow-KR tablets were less than one-fourth the once daily dose of inventive potassium chloride capsules), and that the differences between the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with placebo and the three potassium chloride formulations did not differ from each other. These results indicate that the greater patient compliance, which can be expected to result from the once daily dosing with inventive potassium chloride capsules, will not come at the cost of increased gastrointestinal toxicity.

Dpssolution Results of Example 8 a Release o Release Time (h) CJSP Method Rev. Bottle As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the original drug dose maintains its effectiveness after twenty-eight days of daily therapy. Therefore, pharmacologic tolerance, observed in other formulations of long-acting nitrates and resulting in a requirement for increasingly higher doses of drug to obtain the same pharmacologic effect, does not occur with this formulation in this time period.
More particularly, the graph in Fig. 1 depicts 28 days of administration of optimum doses of the organic nitrate formulation according to the present example (KV/24 controlled-release nitroglycerin), and 28 days of placebo, crossing over in a randomly determined sequence. The dosing periods were separated by a 4-7 day washout. The 20 patients were subjected to treadmill testing before and at 12 hours, 16 hours, and 24 hours after the first and last daily doses in each period. In the treadmill test depicted in Fig. 1, the time to onset of chest pain is measured, and in the treadmill test depicted in Fig. 2, the ability to continue exercising, e.g., exercise tolerance, is measured.
As can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2, efficacy of the organic nitrate formulation according to the instant example is superior to that of placebo at 12 and 16 hours after the daily dose, both on the first and last day of chronic dosing. Accordingly, based on these au~tcomes, one can conclude that the organic nitrate formulation of the instant invention is effective in helping angina patients lead more active lives with less limitations imposed by P8~90501 occurrences of severe chest pain, and that this benefit will be maintained over time without the need far continual.

~'sl9osol U.S. Patent 4,610,870 to ;LAIN et a1. discloses a controlled release pharmaceutical formulation which approaches zero order release of active drug, which is provided preferably in 'the form of a coated tablet, containing a core portion from which medicament, such as procainamide hydrochloride, is slowly released over a controlled length of time. The core also includes one or more hydrocolloid gelling agents having a viscosity of within the range of from about 10,000 to about 200,000 centipoises in 2~ solution at 20°C, such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and/or methylcellulose, one or more non-swellable binders and/or wax binders (where the medicament and/or hydrocolloid gelling agents are non-compressible), one or more inert fillers or excipients, one or more lubricants, and optionally one or mare antiadherents such as silicon dioxide and water.
Enteric-coated preparations are also referred to as another type of sustained release preparation. The release of the drug from an enteric-coated preparation is delayed by providing a coating layer soluble only after arrival at the intestine, that is after the pharmaceutical preparation passes through the stomach, and the extent of this delay is determined by the rate at which the pharmaceutical preparation is generally discharged from the stomach into the intestine. By combining an enteric portion with a usable portion soluble in the stomach, the release of the drug can be rendered continuously.
U.S. Patent 4,095,46'7 to UEMURA et al. relates to a sustained release tablet which comprises easily disintegrable granules containing (a) a drug, (b) a disintegrating agent selected from the group consisting of starch derivatives, gums, cellulose derivatives and ion-exchange resins, arid (c) a water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of cellulose derivatives, synthetic water soluble polymers and polysaccharides, the ~ ';3a.a9 surfaces of which granules are treated with a wax selected from the group consisting of plant or animal wax, hydrogenated oils and paraffin.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, an extended release pharmaceutical formulation is prepared which is capable of approaching zero order release of drug over a 12 to at least 24 hour period. The formulations of the present invention are composed of a mixture of 0 to 50~ of an immediate release particle containing a core of drug, inert spherical substrate particles and binder, coated with talc and up to 100% of an extended release particle comprising the immediate release particle coated with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizers and a film forming agent, wherein tine particle size of the extended release formulation is -10+60 mesh.
The drugs used in the formulations of the invention may be selected from a wide variety of pharmaceutical formulations with particular pharmaceutical compounds being analgesics, anti-inflammatories, antihistamines, antitussives, expectorants, decongestants, narcotics, antibiotics, bronchodilators, cardiovasculars, central nervous system (CNS) drugs, metal salts, minerals, vitamins and mixtures thereof.
Another embodiment of the invention involves a process for preparing an extended release pharmaceutical formulation for oral administration which comprises:
a) forming a core material by spraying a solvent containing a dissolved binder onto a mixture of at least one drug and inert spherical substrate particles:
b) drying the resulting mixture to form a core material and coating the core material with talc;
c) coating the immediate release particles by spraying the particles with a dissolution modifying system containing plasticizer and film forming agent to form an 6 ~ !~ : i .I,s P:3190S01 extended release pharmaceutical :formulation8 and d) recoverine~ the formed extended release pharmaceutical formulation having sizes from --10-f-60 mesh, U.S. Standard sieve size.
Tn an alternate embodiment, the invention involves orally administering to a mammal the extended pharmaceutical formulation to enable a 12 to at least 24 hour drug release therapy to be achieved.
Another embodiment of the invention involves the administration of organic nitrates which have been used for over a century by physicians for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Organic nitrates function as relaxants of smooth muscle and especially as dilators of blood vessels. As such, they are used in the treatment of angina pectoris, in which dilation of the coronary vasculature improves myocardial blood flow and oxygen delivery. A second mechanism of action in angina is the reduction of peripheral resistance due to relaxation of veins and arterioles, reducing cardiac workload, and, therefore, myocardial oxygen demand. In the treatment of congestive heart failure, dilation of the pulmonary vasculature results in increased blood return to the heart and decreased cardiac preload and afterload, leading to improved cardiac output.
Nitroglycerin, which has been the traditional mainstay in the acute treatment of angina, is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but has an extremely short plasma half-life due to extensive first-pass metabolism. These pharmacokinetics have led to the use of nitroglycerin as a short-acting nitrate. Tn this sense, and because o.f its low vapor pressure, nitroglycerin is often used sublingually to reverse attacks of acute angina.
Development of a controlled-release, long-acting nitroglycerin formulation, however, has been impeded mainly because of the phar~acokinetics and low vapor pressure of a~~.~~ a~~i nitroglyceri.rz. For example, attempts to solve these problems with oral or transdermal patch preparations have led to formulations which extend delivery of active drug for up to twenty--four hours. ~ serious disadvantage associated with conventional extended delivery formulations, however, is that continually elevated levels of serum nitrates induce tolerance and reduce drug efficacy within a relatively short time.
The present invention, therefore, is also directed to a controlled-release formulation which can be administered orally, once per day, causing therapeutic serum levels for about eighteen hours, thus effectively achieving anginal prophylaxis without induction of tolerance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
The extended release pharmaceutical formulations of the present invention comprise from 0 to 50% of an immediate release particle containing a core of at least one drug; and up to 100% of an extended release particle which comprises the immediate release particle additionally coated with a dissolution modifying system and optionally additional drug.
The immediate release particles contain a core of at least one drug, inert spherical substrate particle and binder which is coated with talc. The immediate release particles have a preferred size of -10+60 U.S. Standard mesh size. With regard to the extended release particles, such particles comprise the aforementioned immediate release particles with an additional coating of a PS190S01 ~ ~. ~ e~ t' dissolution modifying system comtaa.ning pl.astic.xzers and a film forming agent, which particles likewise have a preferred particle size of -l0+60 U.S. Standard mesh sieve size.
The immediate release particle corntaining drug, inert spherical substrate and binder can be prepared i.n any conventional manner known for producing particles. For example, they may be produced in a conventional coating pan or other equipment, such as a rotor-granulator, merumerizer or fluidized bed spray coater.
In a preferred procedure, the inert spherical substrate is placed in a coating apparatus and the solid particles of pharmaceutical (drug) product are fed into the apparatus while being sprayed with a solution containing the binder. The binder, when applied, results in the formation of particles which may then be easily coated with a talc coating which is likewise mixed with the core particles and adhered with a coating solution, preferably the same solution used above.
A wide variety of medicaments which are orally administered both in tablet, capsule and particulate form may be used to prepare the particles according to this invention. These include drugs from all major categories, and without limitation, for example, analgesics, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, ketoprofen, voltaren (U.S. Patent 3,652,762), phenacetin and salicylamide; anti- inflammatories selected from the group consisting of naproxen and indomethacin; antihistamines, such as chlorpheniramine maleate, phenindamine tartrate, pyrilamine maleate, doxylamine succinate, phenyltoloxamine citrate, diphenhydramine hydrochloride, promethazine, brompheniramine maleate, dexbrompheniramine maleate, clemastine fumerate and triprolidine~ antitussive selected from the group consisting of dextromethorphan hydrobromide and guaifenesin; expectorants such as guaifenesint ~'~~~.~.~.iv°.a~i GJ
decongestants, such as phenylephrine hydrochloride, phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride, pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, ephedrine: narcotics, such as morphine, and codeine and their derivatives, such as oxycodone and hydromorphone; antibiotics such as erythromycin, penicillins and cephalosporins and their derivativeso bronchodilators such as theophylline, albuterol and terbutaline: cardiovascular preparations such as diltiazem, propranolol, nifedepine and clonidine, and organic nitrates such as nitroglycerin, isosorbide 5-mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate; central nervous system drugs such as thioridazine, , diazepam, meclizine, ergoloid mesylates, chlorpromazine, carbidopa and levodopa; metal salts such as potassium chloride, and lithium carbonate; minerals selected from the group consisting of iron, chromium, molybdenum and potassium; and vitamins selected from water-soluble vitamins such as B complex, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folic acid.
Particularly preferred dosage forms involve use of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride; pseudoephedrine hydrochloride and chlorpheniramine maleatel and phenylpropanolamine hydrochloride and chlorpheniramine maleate, all of which have been found to exhibit the following dissolution rangesa Hour 1 0 - 50%
Hour 8 50 - 80%
Hour 12 NLT 65%
It should be recognized that these drugs are representative and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. The drugs are employed in amounts to provide a therapeutically effective dose and are preferably present in amounts of about 4 to about 85% by weight of the final formulation, and most preferably from about 40 to about 55% by weight.
when small amounts of a particular drug are used, that fi ~, ~ .~. ~ ,.> r:>
is amounts below about 50 mg per dosage form, (either alone or in combination with other drtags) it is adtrantagaous to employ aI1 Optional carrier to aid in uniformly di.stribut.ing the drug throughout the dosage fox-m. Such carriers assist in bulking the drug to make it easier to be applied to the inert substrate. Exemplary carriers include sugar, lactose, gelatin, starch, and silicon dioxide. When employed, they are present in amounts of about 0.01 to about 15~ by weight of the final product.
The immediate release particle core additionally contains an inert spherical substrate particle which aids in the diffusion/release of the drug from the formulation.
The inert spherical substrate particles should be of the same general size so that the rate of drug release is not variable. In general, smaller particles result in rapid diffusion of drug, whereas larger particles result in a delay of drug diffusion. Suitable materials may be selected from sugar spheres and other substances which would not modify the drug release pattern or be reactive with the active component, such as non-toxic plastic resin beads. The inert spherical substrate particles are employed in the core of the immediate release particles in amounts of about 15 to about 40~ by weight, and preferably in amounts of about 20 to about 35~ by weight of the total formulation.
The drug adheres to the inert spherical substrate particle through a binding agent which is preferably applied by a suitable solvent. Water is the preferred solvent for water-soluble binders, whereas organic solvents are used with organic soluble binders. Binders may be selected from a wide range of materials such as hydroxypropylmethylcell.ulose, ethylcellulose, or other suitable cellulose derivatives, povidone, acrylic and methacrylic acid co-polymers, or pharmaceutical glaze.
Exemplary solvents are water, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, 4 /, :~ ,L'd 1 ': A ~'1 ~~~q t~~~::~tt methvlene chloride or mixtures and combinations 'thereof.
The binders are generally employed in small amounts which are just suitable to retain the drug on the inert spheres. Useful amounts may vary from about 0.5 to about 4% by weight, and preferably from about 1 to about 2% by weight of the total formulation.
The binder is preferably applied to the drug and inert spherical substrate in solution form. This may be achieved by dissolving the binder in either water or a suitable organic solvent such as isopropyl alcohol. When used as a solution, the solution generally contains from about 2 to about 25% binder and remainder solvent.
Once the initial core material has been prepared, it is important to dry the material prior to it being coated with a coating layer of talc. This may be conveniently done by passing air over the particles, or by simply pan drying overnight. After the core has been dried, it is mixed with powdered talc and again sprayed with the binder solution, as described above to coat the core with the talc. The talc is generally employed in amounts suitable to prepare the surface of the particles to receive the dissolution modifying system coat, to prevent the drug layer from interfering with film formation on the particles and to prevent drug migration during storage. This is achieved by using amounts of talc of about 4 to about 20%
and preferably of about 5 to about 18% by weight of the final product.
After the talc is applied, the resulting product is dried and classified by size to recover particles having sizes from -10+60 mesh, U.S. Standard mesh size. This particle size is essential to prepare an extended release particle that functions properly in the inventive formulations.
The resulting product comprises a talc coating adhered ~~~.~~i) ay'r P8190S0~
to a core particle campy icing the inert spherical ~ ubstrate layered with the active pharmaceutical. compound.
The extended release particles of the invention are then prepared by taking the immediate release particles and coating them with a dissolution modifying system which functions as a diffusion membrane around the coated core.
The dissolution modifying system contains a plasticizer and a film forming agent which is applied by spraying the immediate release particles with about 2 to about 35% by weight of the dissolution modifying system coating.
The dissolution modifying system is designed to encapsulate the particles and modify the drugs dissolution profile so that a sustained/extended drug release rate is obtained. In other words, the system is formulated to each drug profile to permit a release of the drug from the particles over a 12 to at least 24 hour period.
The rate of release of the pharmaceutical formulation may be described according to standardized dissolution testing procedures as found in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXIT, where less than 50% of the drug is released within 1 hour of measurement and not less than 70% of the drug is released at the targeted dosing period, such as a 12 to at least 24 hour period.
The plasticizers used in the dissolution modifying system are preferably previously dissolved in an organic solvent and applied in solution form. Preferred plasticizers may be selected from the group consisting of diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate, triethyl citrate, crotonic acid, propylene glycol, butyl phthalate, dibutyl sebacate, castor oil and mixtures thereof. As is evident, the plasticizers may be hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic in nature. Water-insoluble hydrophobic agents, such as diethyl phthalate, diethyl sebacate and castor oil are used to delay the release of water-soluble drugs, such as potassium chloride. In contrast, hydrophilic plasticizers ~~:~~ 3 ~r:
~>amasol are used when water-insoluble drugs are employed which aid in dissolving the encapsulating film, making channels in the surface, which aid in drug release. In 'this regard, a system can be tailored to a particular drug which will be able to form or not form pores to permit the proper drug release profile to be achieved.
The plasticizers are generally employed in amounts of about 0.01% to about 5% by weight of the total formulation.
If too much is employed in a particular modifying system the drug will release too quickly from the structure. In contrast, if not enough is employed, the coating may not be strong enough and it becomes brittle.
The film forming agents, which are also preferably employed in a spraying solution along with the plasticizes, may be selected from a wide variety of film forming materials. Preferable materials, however, may be selected from the group consisting of acrylic and methacrylic acid copolymers and cellulose derivatives. Exemplary cellulose derivatives include ethylcellulose, methylcellulose, cellulose acetate, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose and mixtures thereof. The film forming agents are employed in amounts of about 0.5 to about 25% by weight of the total formulation.
Furthermore, the dissolution membrane system may include porosity modifying agents, such as talc and salts of fatty acids, such as calcium stearate. Useful amounts of up to about 25% by weight of the final product have been found effective when used. Once the extended release particles are formed, they are dried by removing the solvents by conventional drying means, such as pan drying or air drying. Once the particles are prepared and dried, they are removed from the coating pan or fluidized bed spraying apparatus, and passed through an appropriate screen in order to recover the material that is sized ~~ fl ~3 ~~:.1~~ ..
between -10-x-60 mesh, U.S. Standard siE:ve. The coating membrane may also include additional amounts of drug beyond that present in the core or different drug which may be incompatible with the core drug.
It should be noted that the particle size of the particles which are used in finally preparing the invention particles can have a significant impact an the release rate of the drug. In particular it is essential to use starting components of drug and inert carriers which have mesh sizes greater than 200 mesh. Such sizes aid in offering various advantages. First, they assist in making hard granules which improves the binding characteristics of the matrix.
Secondly, the particle size effects the final product particle size which can greatly influence the rate at which the polymer hydration or gel formation occurs in the capsule, tablet or particle surface. In general, particle sizes outsides the ranges disclosed herein are unsuitable for preparing an extended release pharmaceutical formulation.
~y employing the formulations of the invention, one is able to achieve an extended release system which is a dynamic system composed of wetting, hydrating and dissolution components. At the same time, other soluble materials or drugs will also wet, dissolve and diffuse out of the matrix while insoluble materials will be held in place until the surrounding encapsulation layer, erodes or dissolves away.
The extended release pharmaceutical formulations of this invention exhibit dissolution patterns which result in the reduction of various side effects associated with the normal use of such drugs. For example, cough/cold formulations containing pseudoephedrine hydrochloride are known to cause central nervous system disorders, such as enhanced agitation and insomnia. Such formulations when used according to the invention show significantly reduced ~~ _~ 'i.i~ ~~.~ '.' c.!
~d ~sl~asol side effects. Tn the case of potassium chloride which is a known gastrointestinal irritant, such irritation is significantly reduced when the metal salt is administered using the system of this invention. These same unexpected advantages would be expected to occur with the other pharmaceutical drugs and materials that are useful herein.
The extended release pharmaceutical formulation of the present invention may be comprised of two main components:
the immediate release particles and extended release particles. The immedi.a~te release particles and extended release particles may be blended together and filled into hard gelatin capsules or formed into tablets with standard equipment.
A particularly preferred extended release pharmaceutical formulation according to the invention is comprised of a mixture of:
a) 0 to about 50% of an immediate release particle containing about 15 to about 40% by weight inert spherical substrate particle, about 0.5 to about 4% binder and about 4 to about 75% of at least one drug and a coating comprising about 4 to about 20% talc: and b) up to 100% of an extended or controlled release particle comprising an immediate release granule of a) coated with a dissolution modifying system comprising about 0.5 to about 25% film forming agent, about 0.01 to about 5% plasticizer and up to 25% modifying agent, all percents herein are by weight of the final product.
Batch sizes may vary depending on the capacity and type of equipment used. Quantities of ingredients likewise can be varied with specified ranges to assure that the product meets the desired dissolution and potency characteristics. The following procedure describes one set of conditions and is not intended to be limiting thereto.
Another preferred controlled-release pharmaceutical formulation according to the invention uses an organic nitrate farmulation far once°per-day oral administration which achieves a therapeutically effective level of the drug at least one organic nitrate, while effecting a drug holiday towards a latter pardon of the daily dosing period so as not to induce tolerance.
Any organic nitrate within reason for 'treating a human mammal may be utilized in the formulation. Preferably, the arganic nitrate is nitroglycerin, isosorbide 5-mononitrate, isosorbide d:initrate, or mixtures thereof. Furthermore, the organic nitrate may be in the form of a triturate with lactose and/or mannitol. For example, the nitroglycerin triturate can include 1-2o percent by weight nitroglycerin, the isosorbide 5-mononitrate triturate can include about 5-100 percent by weight isosorbide 5-mononitrate, and the isosorbide dinitrate triturate can include about 1 to 90 percent by weight isosorbide dinitrate.
The rate of release of the organic nitrate formulation may be described according to standardized dissolution testing procedures. In this regard, when the organic nitrate is nitroglycerin, the rate of release of the nitroglycerin from the formulation is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the nitroglycerin as measured in vitro in a basket assembly according to U.S.
Pharmacopoeia XXI, wherein less than 30~ of the nitroglycerin is released after 1 hour of measurement, less than 40% of the nitroglycerin is released after 12 hours of measurement, and less than 90~ of the nitroglycerin is released after 24 hours of measurement. When the organic nitrate is isosorbide 5-mononitrate triturate, the rate of release of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate as measured in vitro according to dissolution testing in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI Apparatus II, paddle method, in a 7.5 pH phosphate buffer, wherein lass than 30~ of the isosorbide 5-mononitrate is released ,;
c , a ~ , ., P~190S01 ~~-~. _at~:ia after 1 hour of measurement, less; than 65a a:E the isosorbide 5°mononitrate is released after 4 hours of measurement, and less than 90~ of the isosorbide 5--mononitrate is released after 12 hours of measurement.
When the organic nitrate is isosorbide dinitrate, the rate of release of the isosorbide dinitrate is substantially equivalent to a rate of release of the isosorbide dinit.rate as measured in vitro according to dissolution testing in accordance with U.S. Pharmacopoeia XXI Apparatus II, paddle method, in a 7.5 pH phosphate buffer, wherein less than 30%
of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 1 hour of measurement, less than 75% of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 8 hours of measurement, and less than 100%
of the isosorbide dinitrate is released after 16 hours of measurement.
A preferred process for preparing the formulations of this invention may be described as follows:
1. Preparation of Core Material Suitable amounts of drug are weighed and pulverized so that the mesh size is greater than 200 mesh. The solution of binder is prepared by mixing a suitable binder, into a suitable solvent. The inert spherical substrate particles (such as sugar spheres) are placed in a suitable coating pan. The pharmaceutical drug is added to the pan and the binder solution is sprayed onto the mixture. The spray system should be designed such that the solution is sprayed at a controlled rate over a designated period of time.
This process is controlled until all of the active powder has been applied in each pan. The core particle is then dried.
2. Application of Talc Coat After the core has been dried, powdered talc is added to the core and mixed, whereupon a second spray solution is applied to result in the coating of the core with the talc.
Once the talc has been applied, the particles are removed P8190S01 ~~'~'~~~j'' and dried :in a suitable dryer, such as an a.ir dryer, at ambient to 80°C for a minimum of 6 hours. The granules are then passed through a suitab7.e sizing sieve in order to isolate those particles having mesh sizes of -10+60 mesh.
3. Application of Dissolution ~Iodifyinr~ Coati.nrx A portion of the immediate release granules obtained from the prior procedure are placed in a suitable coating pan. They are then optionally dry mixed with powdered talc and an optional lubricant, such as calcium stearate. Once blended, the admixture is sprayed with the encapsulation solution containing the plasticizes and film forming agent.
An exemplary system would include ethylcellulose as the film forming agent, isopropyl alcohol, and methylene chloride as solvents, and diethyl phthalate as the pl.asticizer, for water-soluble drugs such as pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The amount of powdered talc and calcium stearate applied to the immediate release particles will vary depending on the drug release profile desired. After coating and drying of the extended release particles, the particles are again sized and those particles falling between -10 and +60 mesh are recovered.
The samples recovered are submitted to analytical assay for potency, extended release pattern and residual solvent testing. Based upon the assay report and sustained release pattern, additional extended release coatings may be applied.
4. Product Formulation Based upon the assay results and total drug activity and controlled release pattern, the appropriate amounts of immediate and extended release particles are mixed to achieve the desired activity and release pattern. The formulation may be then tableted with well known and suitable excipients and filler materials, or filled in capsules such as hard gelatin capsules by well-known means.
P8190S01 r~a.
Clearly, i.f based on activity and release pattern, a greater release is required during the early hours, additional immediate release particles of from 0 to 50% by weight may be blended with the extended release particles which are present in amounts up to 100 by weight or if less release is required, the immediate release particles can be blended with additional extended release particles to reduce the proportion of immediate release particles that are present.
The formulations of the invention are administered orally to mammals in suitable amounts to achieve the drug efficacy sought. When administered in proper dosage forms, the formulations axe able to deliver the drugs in zero order release rates to achieve from about 12 to 24 hours drug delivery.
Additionally, the invention is directed to a method of treating mammals, including man, by the once-per-day oral administration of the drug by orally administering once during each 24 hour time period a controlled--release formulation. When using an organic nitrate for example, the film forming polymer permits release of the organic nitrate from the formulation, over a daily dosing period, at a rate that achieves a therapeutically effective level of the organic nitrate, while effecting a drug holiday towards a latter portion of the daily dosing period so as not to induce tolerance.
The treating of. the human mammal may be for the treatment of congestive heart failure, systemic hypertension, pulmonary hypertension, cardiomyopathic heart,. valvular heart disease, vasospastic disease, congenital heart disease, or esophageal spasms. Relating to this, clinical studies have shown that 'the product is therapeutically efficacious, preventing or delaying the onset of chest pain for at least eighteen hours after a single daily dose.

Controlled release potassium chloride by this invention as hereinafter described was tested in 3S humans in a four- way parallel study to determine the average fecal blood loss from each product. In order to demonstrate maximum safety, the product by this invention was dosed at four 'times the level of potassium chloride as the commercial products tested per dosing interval, yet indicating significant reduction in gastrointestinal to irritation.
Human Studies A. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN/METHODS
The effect on gastrointestinal blood loss of orally administered inventive potassium chloride capsules, Micro-KR capsules, Slow-KR tablets, aspirin and placebo was investigated in a study on humans.
The subjects were 40 healthy Caucasian males;
they ranged in age from 18-55 years. On the basis of a history and laboratory and physical examinations performed 2o within two weeks of study initiation, it was concluded that all subjects met all study admission criteria.
The subjects were sequestered for the duration of the study, and a parallel design was employed. During two treatment periods (each seven days long, the first of which was preceded by a three-day period during which treatment was withheld), the subjects received appropriate daily oral doses of placebo and then one of the test drugs. Each subject collected his 24-hour stool sample and delivered the samples to laboratory personnel each day. Blood samples were obtained from each subject at weekly intervals. The subjects were provided with a standardized diet, were told not to use drugs other than those dispensed to them by laboratory personnel, and were given a soft toothbrush.
B. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
Thirty-eight of the 40 subjects completed the study as scheduled; two of the subjects left the study site early, on study day 18 (after providing the scheduled blood sample). Daily fecal blood volumes averaged 0.28 and 0.52, 0.28 and 0.50, 0.36 and 0.54, and 0.40 and 6.63 ml during periods of treatment with placebo and inventive potassium chloride capsules, placebo and Slow-KR tablets, placebo and Micro-KR capsules, and placebo and Aspirin*, respectively. The results observed during periods of treatment with Aspirin* validate the methodology.
Statistical analysis revealed that the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with placebo did not differ from each other, that the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with the three potassium chloride formulations did not differ from each other (despite the fact that the fractional doses of Micro-KR capsules and Slow-KR tablets were less than one-fourth the once daily dose of inventive potassium chloride capsules), and that the differences between the average daily fecal blood volumes observed during periods of treatment with placebo and the three potassium chloride formulations did not differ from each other. These results indicate that the greater patient compliance, which can be expected to result from the once daily dosing with inventive potassium chloride capsules, will not come at the cost of increased gastrointestinal toxicity.

Dpssolution Results of Example 8 a Release o Release Time (h) CJSP Method Rev. Bottle As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the original drug dose maintains its effectiveness after twenty-eight days of daily therapy. Therefore, pharmacologic tolerance, observed in other formulations of long-acting nitrates and resulting in a requirement for increasingly higher doses of drug to obtain the same pharmacologic effect, does not occur with this formulation in this time period.
More particularly, the graph in Fig. 1 depicts 28 days of administration of optimum doses of the organic nitrate formulation according to the present example (KV/24 controlled-release nitroglycerin), and 28 days of placebo, crossing over in a randomly determined sequence. The dosing periods were separated by a 4-7 day washout. The 20 patients were subjected to treadmill testing before and at 12 hours, 16 hours, and 24 hours after the first and last daily doses in each period. In the treadmill test depicted in Fig. 1, the time to onset of chest pain is measured, and in the treadmill test depicted in Fig. 2, the ability to continue exercising, e.g., exercise tolerance, is measured.
As can be seen in Figs. 1 and 2, efficacy of the organic nitrate formulation according to the instant example is superior to that of placebo at 12 and 16 hours after the daily dose, both on the first and last day of chronic dosing. Accordingly, based on these au~tcomes, one can conclude that the organic nitrate formulation of the instant invention is effective in helping angina patients lead more active lives with less limitations imposed by P8~90501 occurrences of severe chest pain, and that this benefit will be maintained over time without the need far continual.
